WEBVTT

00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:29.480
M hmm. All right, Good
morning everybody, and happy Monday, although

2
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.399
it's not gonna be a happy Monday
because it's gonna feel like you know,

3
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.359
hell, um, I see that
feels like temp could be one hundred and

4
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.439
one hundred and eight for some folks. So yeah, that's the thing.

5
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.759
So I would recommend the uh you
know, you do the stay indoors thing

6
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:02.640
inside, the uh the comfort of
ac and uh, you know, forgo

7
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.159
any outdoors unless you work outdoors and
you're kind of screwed, I guess.

8
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:11.719
But but a great way to get
out of honeydoo list stuff you're thinking of,

9
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:19.040
you know, mowing the lawn or
doing anything outside. Um, you

10
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.719
got your excuse. We'll get into
more of that coming up a little later

11
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:30.760
in the show with Ray Stagic or
Jeff always. So it's so hot Stagic

12
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.959
didn't even show up. That's amazing. Look at that. Well if you

13
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.640
need, if you ever needed an
indicator, there you go. It's too

14
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.840
hot for Stagic. So we'll chat
with Jeff mahr. Let him be the

15
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.599
bearer of bad news. Ain't that
how it always works? All right?

16
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:57.480
Sorry? I was just fighting with
um. There we go, fighting with

17
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.799
this one story I saw it.
I thought I emailed myself this morning,

18
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.319
and then apparently I didn't, so
I had to go find it because I

19
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:15.560
was fascinated by this. I was
watching an interview with a Let me make

20
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.240
sure I get the Yeah, he's
a marine, Okay, all right,

21
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:29.879
So a marine who was among those
who was injured during the Afghanistan withdrawal where

22
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:35.879
thirteen American service members were killed.
Obviously you're aware of this. It is

23
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.439
it's absolute insanity in the way that
we decided to go about this and what

24
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.240
was going on at the airport at
that time. But here we are.

25
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.280
That was two years ago, almost
two years ago, August twenty six,

26
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.719
two twenty one, and a marine
who was among those who was nearby but

27
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.879
near enough to be among the thirteen
killed, however, who suffered significant injuries,

28
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:15.639
Sergeant Tyler Vargas Andrews. So he
testified in March to the House Foreign

29
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.319
Affairs Committee, So we got a
little we got a little snippet of this,

30
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.439
but he did a follow up interview
and he was talking about how being

31
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.199
among these service members who was significantly
injured, he he lost one of his

32
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.240
arms and his other arm. They
were barely able to save it. So

33
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.919
I want you to picture this as
he's lying in the hospital where he has

34
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.599
lost an arm. Another arm is
significantly damaged and it is in a full

35
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.960
cast. Right, I don't know. They don't describe the extent of the

36
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.919
injuries, but they were pretty significant. Pretty much. His upper torso was

37
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:05.800
hammered pretty good. So he was
talking about how when Jill and Joe Biden

38
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:14.479
came to visit them, little a
little photo up there, and he said

39
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.439
it was it was beyond awkward.
So he says, I'm laying in the

40
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.720
hospital after losing my arm and the
other one is fully in a cast.

41
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:29.399
I can do nothing, and in
walks Jill and Joe Biden. Well,

42
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.000
I guess Joe Biden walked in first, and then Joe came whole entourage of

43
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:38.319
people, photographer, you name it. And he said, at that point,

44
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.759
eventually the President came up to his
bed and put his hand out his

45
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.680
right hand to give him a handshake. Now that's the arm that the sergeant

46
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:58.279
lost. He lost his right arm. I get. I have to assume

47
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:04.079
that this was visible. I mean, he's in a hospital bed, so

48
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.480
I don't know. Maybe he's got
the blankets all up but I suspect not,

49
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.000
so he reaches out the right hand
to shake. The guy can't shake

50
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.319
with his right hand, obviously,
he says, at which point Biden then

51
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:23.759
had tried to shake his left arm, which is in the big cast,

52
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:31.959
and he was able to grab the
tips of the sergeant's fingers and they took

53
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.920
a photo. And at that point, this is that's not even the weird

54
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.360
part, Like I understand the muscle
memory thing of going through and shaking hands

55
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.319
with a bunch of people, and
you you reach out and before you realize.

56
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:53.199
But he pivoted. He went with
the photo up on the cast arm.

57
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.800
But he says that at one point
the President leaned in so he could

58
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:08.959
whisper in his year and said,
quote, what do you want? It's

59
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.319
the only thing you said. He
said, what do you want? He

60
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.000
said? I was confused. I
just got blown up. So my friends

61
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.519
die, and now the president is
asking me what I want. I have

62
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:27.160
no idea why? All right,
I have no idea why Joe Biden would

63
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.600
ask him that some ram, I
mean, what do you want? Is

64
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.160
such ano. Maybe maybe Joe Biden
had a moment where he felt bad and

65
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:43.279
he was like the genie for all
practical purposes. He's the closest thing to

66
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:49.079
a genie. You're gonna have,
right if you want something, the President

67
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.720
of the United States, the most
powerful man in the world, is a

68
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:59.560
pretty good person to ask for it. I suspect it wasn't that. But

69
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.560
if the President of the United States
ross came up to you and was like,

70
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.079
you can have one thing. What
do you want? What do you

71
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:12.240
want? What is it you select? What would you ask the president for

72
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.079
If he's you know, rolling out
the book his secrets and saying you could

73
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.040
have whatever you want, I'm going
to pretend it was like that, and

74
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.160
then I'm like, this dude missed
an opportunity. But more likely, judging

75
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.199
by the handshake portion of it and
everything, he was just really confused,

76
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.920
and maybe he thought the soldier was
or the marine wasn't as enthusiastic as he

77
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.519
should be. The whole thing is
just weird. He's got photos and video

78
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.399
of it. You can't hear what
he says, but you can see what's

79
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.720
up. And by the time that
they took the photo, which is the

80
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.680
after or the video which is after
the handshake, you can clearly see that

81
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:56.160
the marine is missing his right arm
and his cast is engulfing his left arm.

82
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.399
But then he's like, yeah,
what do you want? So and

83
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.519
I had to think about that.
What if you could have one thing?

84
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.879
What do you ask the president for? Not some big sweeping policy thing,

85
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:15.160
just like some you know, very
selfish thing for you. I never want

86
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:22.079
to pay taxes again. So you
go literally that scene from Armageddon. I

87
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.439
was thinking more of the the movie
Pixels, the Adam Sandler video game movie.

88
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.799
Oh yeah, Peter Dinklich plays them. I can't remember the character he's

89
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.120
based on. Ah, it's gonna
drive me nuts. Now a real video

90
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.080
game champion or quote champion from the
eighties that I ended up being a Anyway,

91
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.399
he says, you know, I
just want no more taxes for I

92
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.399
want a little card. You know, even when I go and purchase things

93
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.159
as stories, I say, I
don't have to pay no taxes. I

94
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.159
mean, like, all right,
sir, no taxes for you? I

95
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:58.799
mean yeah, I mean it'd be
great. Right. I'm reminded when you

96
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.039
said that. I'm reminded that seen
from Armageddon, where they're all having to

97
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.919
agree to go up there and they
have a whole list of things, some

98
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.279
more ridiculous than others, Billy Mitchell, sorry that was his name. Oh

99
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.559
yeah, I saw that dude getting
roasted for using a he cheated. Yeah,

100
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.360
he used a video game that was
not of the era to set the

101
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.000
high score on Donkey Kong or something. I can't remember what it was,

102
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.840
but anyway, Peter Dinglich's characters like, yeah, no more taxes ever again

103
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.519
for the rest of my life.
Yeah. I mean, don't get me

104
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.559
wrong, that would save you a
bunch of money. But this is the

105
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.519
president of United States, man,
he can Okay, so I want no

106
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.279
taxes that I want, airwolf you
want? I feel like you're not thinking

107
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.799
big enough, right, we have
we have protectorates. You could be like,

108
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:54.159
you could be head of of of
a society feasibly and you just want

109
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.679
to not pay ten sounds like too
much work. Yeah, well you know

110
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.480
what I mean. I don't know. Have you seen how some of these

111
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.639
cats run them? It's basically all
leisure all the time, and then they

112
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.320
just, you know, they just
hire a good subjugator to run around and

113
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.919
bust kneecaps. You don't really have
to do anything. You can just eat,

114
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.759
whereas the people under you can't.
And until Biden sends in someone to

115
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:24.440
topple me. Do you think he
has that level of stick tuitiveness? Though,

116
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.240
Like, I mean, I'd probably
forget. But I mean, this

117
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:35.039
story is based on a complete lack
of organizational awareness on a military incident.

118
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.840
I feel like it turn you know, I could go Bay of Pigs real

119
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.960
quick on him. So, but
it would be a very woke group that

120
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.639
came to topple you. So there
is that everyone would be represented in the

121
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.200
in the beach landing. So you
got that going for you? He said,

122
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.600
uh, so, he said,
what do you want? He then

123
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.480
quote talked to him about his son
Bo, who obviously served in Iraq and

124
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.080
later died of cancer, which sometimes
he likes to tell the story that he

125
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:13.039
died while he was serving in Iraq. Yeah, the whole thing strange,

126
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.679
man, But yeah, if the
president asks you what you want, you

127
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:22.919
should probably have an answer ready.
I have an answer ready because if he's

128
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.799
if there's video of him doing it, it kind of puts him on the

129
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:31.159
spot. You just ask this wounded
warrior, this guy who lost an arm

130
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.639
based on poor decision making. Many
people believe on your part and you you

131
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.440
you open up the checkbook. You
were the genie that popped out of the

132
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.360
lamp. You gotta give him one. What do you want? Are there

133
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.960
RULESO? Is it like like the
genie, like you can't wish for more

134
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.879
wishes? I you know what,
I have a feeling that's up to the

135
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.320
intellectual pushback on the part of Joe
Biden. So you do the math.

136
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:03.440
He may think that's a brilliant loophole. Yeah, maybe you want to Maybe

137
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.360
you want to party with Hunter.
Dude looks like he knows how to have

138
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.799
a good time, you know,
if you're into that. Um, so,

139
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.960
you know that's an idea. The
tax thing, obviously is an idea.

140
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.159
You could run something. You could
be ambassador or ambassador to something.

141
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.559
I know you don't like to leave
the country ross but wouldn't you like to

142
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.120
be the most powerful American? And
then insert whatever country it is. You

143
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:35.399
know, I just sti't want power. Your your whole stick is you want

144
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.440
to be share of Okay, all
right, it's for the It's for the

145
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.639
people. It's not for me,
right, Okay, Yeah, it could

146
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.480
be for the people of Rossistan,
you know what I'm saying. Like,

147
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.480
then it's then it's for the people
directly from you. You got options He

148
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.480
apparently didn't even respond when he said, which I guess most people wouldn't because

149
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.600
you're like, what is he asking
me? Um? His mom, though

150
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.960
at some point, did respond saying
um, and I don't think she was

151
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.039
asked what he wanted. Apparently Mom
at one point looked and said, quote,

152
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.360
I don't give a flip, which
you guys say, I don't care

153
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.440
what you do. You better just
take care of him for the rest of

154
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:26.440
his life, a response that Vargus
Andrews says left left the President slightly confused

155
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.879
as just bonkers man. So anyway, yeah, yeah, I saw that

156
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.000
this morning, thought, hey,
what are you gonna do? Now?

157
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.240
People are I just went out of
the room. No no, no,

158
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.159
no, no no no. I
understand everybody wants out of that room.

159
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.200
And and a interaction as awkward as
that, of course you don't want to

160
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.120
be there. That's not my point. He just asked, what you want?

161
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.879
Hit him up with something big,
get a heavy lift out of it,

162
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:05.559
pick something, do Ross's tax thing? Anything right? You got,

163
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.960
you got, you got him up, You got old Joe on the ropes

164
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:13.320
there. So anyway, there you
go eight eight eight nine three four seven

165
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.200
eight seven four coming up. You
may not have heard about it because it's

166
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:24.039
not getting covered this time, but
the Biden administration has purged roughly a third

167
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:33.080
of their White House credentials, the
the hard passes, and there's some some

168
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.120
notable pains in their butt on there. I seem to remember Joe Biden or

169
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:45.720
excuse me, Donald Trump Bard who
did he bar? It was Brian or

170
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.080
no? It was uh well,
hold on, let me get into I

171
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.279
just looked at my clock. Here. There was two reporters. There was

172
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.320
obviously his uh r, fake news, but there was another reporter where they

173
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:03.399
actually pulled credentials and they went to
court and got their credentials given back,

174
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.759
and it was a media story for
days and days through the court case and

175
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:16.720
everything. How dare you? How
dare you say that so and so who

176
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.960
has been here as a White House
correspondent? And a note note that they

177
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.039
didn't kick the media outlet out in
this case CNN, they kicked a reporter

178
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.879
out, saying that the reporter was
grandstanding. Well, they just did that

179
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.600
to one of the reporters they pulled
the credentials of, and many others are

180
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:37.759
scratching their head wondering how this may
have happened, and there's no big news

181
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.679
story, no trying to silence his
critics, narrative, it doesn't exist.

182
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:52.200
Four hundred and forty two reporters have
been purged. That's about a third.

183
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.480
And I had to I had to
literally come across it on a random news

184
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.399
site that is among the reporters that
has had a credential for fifteen years that

185
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.399
if I look at their site,
I wouldn't say they're necessarily right leaning,

186
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:18.639
but they're definitively more center right,
and they're they're wondering, you know,

187
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.279
what they did. So I'm sure
that the stories will be coming, but

188
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.159
we'll get into that coming up.
We've got some insane audio for you,

189
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:32.320
little well Ross little tax loophole.
Since Ross isn't into paying taxes, we

190
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.759
may have a great work around for
him. So we'll get into all that

191
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:45.000
more coming up here on the k
c O Day Radio program one O six

192
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:52.120
one at them Talk and w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk.

193
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:59.759
This is case O Day and Carolina's
Morning News. All right, welcome

194
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.840
back at his six thirty four.
You know, I felt a little underwhelmed.

195
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:10.480
Look, I understand taxes or they
suck man and if the president asked

196
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.119
me what I want, or in
this case, asked Ross what he wanted.

197
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.200
He wants to pay no taxes.
He wants a little card too,

198
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.960
so it doesn't have to pay sales
tax, which by the way, would

199
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.599
be you would be the guy in
front of me in line. That would

200
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:30.119
annoy me because you'd be like the
person with the kupin's working at the register

201
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.200
and they're like, I don't know
how this works. Yeah, I got

202
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.359
a card here, so that's got
the seal on it and everything. So

203
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.000
I upgrade. I just got off
the phone with the administration. You're now

204
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.519
the top guy in Haiti. So
wow yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

205
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.839
and and um, any security concerns. They gave me Hilary's cell phone.

206
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.000
You just call her day, noon, noon, night, whenever, three

207
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.599
in the morning. Not a problem, She'll handle it. I appreciate it.

208
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.119
That's great. Yeah, so I've
heard great things. Yeah, well

209
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.400
it's it's nice and close to the
US. So I did. I got

210
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.680
up the phone with the with potus. Oh wow, yeah. I got

211
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.400
no property rock, no income tax, no sales tax, none of that.

212
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.240
So I can keep my house,
you know, once I pay it

213
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:14.240
off. And but I didn't feel
like it was enough. Okay, so

214
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.200
you did. So, yeah,
I got something for you because you mean

215
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.480
so much to me. I appreciate
it. You know, we've worked.

216
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:23.359
So I got to some farmland in
South Africa. Oh good good, Well

217
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.799
you know how I like to farm. It's your passion. Well it's more

218
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.720
and more ranching. But well it's
a it's a farm slash ranch. No,

219
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.400
but I found that in a lot
of places that people who are very

220
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:41.039
much ranchers they referred to as farmers. So that's fine. Um, yeah,

221
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.200
South Africa. You say, hey, you like to travel too,

222
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:48.599
so yeah, well I hear.
It's nice down joy it is. Yeah,

223
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.160
it's cooler. You know, it's
summer here. It's a winter down

224
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.079
there right now. So and uh, I'll have to get used to the

225
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:59.359
toilets, as we mentioned, like
Australia, the water comes up out because

226
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.319
you're down there, so and that
should be the biggest challenge I face.

227
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.519
Right, it's just the toilets,
I mean, yeah, yeah, you

228
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.519
know, and also you know,
leadst lions or something. I don't know,

229
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.359
you'll be fine, You'll be finons, I don't know, you'll be

230
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.519
fine. Okay, all right,
I think that was a big issue down

231
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.079
there, But that one dude did
get attacked quite aggressively. So did they

232
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:25.279
decide it was a lion and not
literally for South African. They're still looking

233
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.279
into it, but you'll be fine, all right, Well, look at

234
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.839
that ross not just thinking of himself. Appreciate that. Look, if there's

235
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:38.039
one thing you should get its tax
advice from us or really anybody in the

236
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:48.279
social sphere who is not some sort
of actual financial person. You find them

237
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:56.119
everywhere on YouTube and TikTok, and
they got some ideas. Man, this

238
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.880
woman though, who I like this
new thing. Now, anytime there's a

239
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:06.839
woman and she has a marginally sexy
look or a large chest or anything,

240
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.960
people go it's probably Ai because that's
where we are and the right to go

241
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.519
that in that direction. I got
a story that we'll get into. But

242
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.079
so she's on there and apparently she
has uncovered some information which could save you

243
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.079
a crap ton of money. You
don't even have to ask the president,

244
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.160
you don't have to go to all
that trouble. You can just implement her

245
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.480
tax saving policy and it's a doozy
check it out. Okay, I don't

246
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.279
know who needs to hear this,
and I don't care if anybody feels some

247
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.480
type of way about it, but
I'm gonna put that out there. Did

248
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.279
you know that if you bury a
loved one in your backyard, that your

249
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.400
house now is zoned as a cemetery
and you no longer owe property taxes as

250
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.480
well as you're no longer part of
any HLA or any government anything. Your

251
00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.039
house is a right off you do. It's tax free, any upgrades to

252
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:06.119
your house, and they can never
take your house after that generational wealth.

253
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.160
It doesn't matter if you default on
your mortgage or anything like that. They

254
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.160
can never take your house from you. Ever. Um, they can't take

255
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.519
it from your kids. They can
never take it. So think about this.

256
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:18.920
Back in the day when you watch
things like Wide Earp and the movies,

257
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.319
they go out back and they love
them know their loved ones in their

258
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:27.240
backyard. When did cemeteries become a
thing? Right right? And probably around

259
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.319
the First War when we needed money
and we instilled, like you know,

260
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:37.079
war taxes, property tax so cemeteries
became a thing. Um. Yeah,

261
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.720
it's funny that you'd bring up Wide
Earp and that little portion of the country

262
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.480
because there was a pretty famous cemetery. There's still it still is. You

263
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:52.720
can go to Booth Hill Cemetery and
many of those graves are older than the

264
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:57.400
war. I'm assuming you mean First
World War. So there's so there's that,

265
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:03.920
um but anyway, is that all
old? There's more? Oh,

266
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:08.240
because they needed property tax and they
wanted you to pay a lot for funerals.

267
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.759
When people used to just do cardboard
and you know, bury people six

268
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.640
feet under and put them close to
their house. But now they have you

269
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.200
pay for a plot of land,
pay for a tombstone, pay for a

270
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:25.319
casket, put you in debt,
basically for a funeral to put your loved

271
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.799
one on a property that's not yours, because if you put them in your

272
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:33.400
backyard, then you no longer owe
property taxes and your house is no longer

273
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.240
owned by the government. I don't
know who needs to hear this, but

274
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.279
I'm just putting it out there,
just letting you know. You don't need

275
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:44.240
any government or anybody's permission to do
this. You just need a funeral director

276
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.200
and a death certificate, and then
your house is zoned as a cemetery.

277
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:53.599
You don't need anyone's permission to do
this, all right, now, boy,

278
00:22:53.640 --> 00:23:00.400
there's a lot to unpack here.
First, how many you have a

279
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.599
relative you would love to bury on
your property, even though they're still alive,

280
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.759
just for the tax break, even
if you don't think it's gonna work,

281
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.960
just under the maybe could be the
first useful thing this individual has done

282
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:22.759
for your family. So that's number
one. Number two we had we have

283
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.319
a cemetery of our loved ones on
our property, and we still pay taxes.

284
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.279
So I guess we must be stupid. And I know that there are

285
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.279
All I gotta do is drive around
outside of any one of the cities and

286
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:41.960
you'll come across a little mini cemeteries. So and three, I don't know

287
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:51.200
that cemeteries just became a thing in
in the early nineteen hundreds. I kind

288
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.279
of feel like there's big, big, big examples. One of the biggest,

289
00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.960
and I mentioned this when I tweeted
it out is Roberty Leser Farm property,

290
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:07.960
which is you now know it as
Arlington National Cemetery. And I'm pretty

291
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:15.160
sure that that predates the First World
War. So, but are you Are

292
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:19.319
you onto something if you're annoyed by
the fact that you can't enter your loved

293
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.519
ones, which, by the way, you can in many instances. And

294
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.200
is there a regulation, Yes,
there is, there are rules you have

295
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.680
to follow, but you can do
it. Donald Trump did it to his

296
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.160
former wife, although that got spun
into he was bearing secret documents. But

297
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:41.839
now you can. You can do
it, depending on what the process is

298
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:48.640
where you live. So and yes, funerals are ungodly expensive, much more

299
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.599
expensive than they ever were. You
know, give me the day when you

300
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.000
can throw a guy in a hole, put some rocks, a couple of

301
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.200
sticks crossed, and you're good to
go. Does that mean you love the

302
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:07.960
person less? No, you're just
saving money on the deal. So yeah,

303
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.319
absolutely. Does it have to be
a relative? I you know what

304
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:17.079
according to this uh, this tax
expert, it does Boston Paul. Boston

305
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:19.039
Paul is trying to get a tax
break. Here. I feel like you're

306
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.319
a brother. I need you to
go into my backyard and stand right in

307
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:27.279
the center of the hinge right right. Okay, it's it's a supermoon or

308
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:32.319
something this through this week and to
line up. But I'm gonna say stuff,

309
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.119
Huh, what should I do when
I'm there? Close my eyes to

310
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.160
stare, to stare at the moon? All right? Head up? Not

311
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:44.480
paying Okay, all right, dude, I saw this and I'm like,

312
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.160
this, chick's crazy, but I
got like three names, right, you

313
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:51.519
know, just a case it works. Worst case scenario, you're out some

314
00:25:51.599 --> 00:26:00.400
slug relative who doesn't like you anyway? Now, is there an iota of

315
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.359
truth that? No, there's not. However, this is what makes social

316
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:10.759
media so ungodly entertaining is that she
felt so confident that right at the beginning,

317
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.680
and she already knew that people were
going to push back that she said

318
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:17.759
this. Okay, I don't know
who needs to hear this, and I

319
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:19.599
don't care if anybody feels some type
of way about it, but I'm gonna

320
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.240
put that out there. What is
that we feel some type of way?

321
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.720
Shouldn't you feel some type of way
about information that could save you thousands and

322
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:33.559
tens of thousands of dollars And they
can't come. They can't take your property

323
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:38.440
or your home. That's amazing.
Why would you pay your mortgage at that

324
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:42.480
point? Because you know, if
they want to kick you out of your

325
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.160
home, they have to they have
to go through a governmental process, and

326
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.920
I guess at that point the bank's
going to be told no. So look,

327
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:52.960
this is why you listen to the
show right here, right here,

328
00:26:53.000 --> 00:27:00.440
man, we're saving you tens of
thousands of dollars. Maybe you gotta do

329
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.039
is lose one relative who you never
want to see anyway, So you're welcome,

330
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.400
all right. Eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four.

331
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.319
We'll have to get into people are
asking, I'm not the tax expert.

332
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:17.240
Ask this woman. Go her TikTok
is in the video. You can see

333
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.640
it. Go find her on TikTok
and ask her. Maybe she found a

334
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.240
loophole. I don't know. I
just share the news, all right.

335
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:27.400
Coming up on the show, sad
day for the American women's soccer team is

336
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:34.960
they are out of the World Cup, earliest exit in forever, and it

337
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:37.839
was not a good look. We'll
have to get into that. And we

338
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:44.640
have to also talk about Asheville.
I am shocked. I have to I

339
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.000
am shocked to see what is happening
in Ashville. And by shocked, I

340
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.119
mean this was what we predicted.
So we'll get into that next hang on

341
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.519
the show. After the show is
on the iHeartRadio app. Search case O

342
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:06.480
Day for the podcast on the ihard
Radio app. All right, good morning

343
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:11.559
and welcome. It is six fifty
two here on the case O Day radio

344
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:18.920
program, how many of you have
been to Asheville this summer? How many

345
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.960
of you have gone previously, maybe
once a year, either Asheville or the

346
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:29.720
surrounding area and you didn't go.
Well, you're not alone. Apparently a

347
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:37.480
precipitous drop in tourism in Asheville is
hurting the local business community. Let's see

348
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.119
here, they got a bunch of
anecdotal stuff, but then we'll get to

349
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:47.680
the numbers. Brandy Howard runs a
Mountain Inspiration company, which is gift clothing

350
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:52.160
shops. She says, as far
as we're concerned, tourist season hasn't started,

351
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:59.119
including her main location, which is
right on Biltmore Avenue, So I

352
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.000
mean that's his prime as you get
for gift shops. She said that on

353
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.039
a recent full day they had not
broken one hundred dollars and that was on

354
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.799
a Saturday, which is crazy down. All right, here we go,

355
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:19.839
here's the here's the actual numbers.
So they say that thus far they've seen

356
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:27.839
total lodging sales declined by eleven percent
and estimate credit card spending by tourists is

357
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:41.880
off by about three hundred thousand per
month. Wow, let's see tourism accounted

358
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:47.079
for two point six billion and visitors
spending in twenty twenty one, so that's

359
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.480
two point six and well, this
is more than eleven percent. This has

360
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:55.319
been going on, so this is
just year over year since to A twenty

361
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.799
twenty one, they've only been able
to get it back to nine hundred and

362
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:07.319
fifteen million now A Lee, Yeah, I don't know if that stat is

363
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.440
properly categorized. I can't tell if
that's year over year or a typical month

364
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.640
on average, because again it's really
hard when you're looking at numbers coming out

365
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.440
of COVID. You almost that's why
so many of the comparisons you see are

366
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:25.480
like twenty nineteen. So I'd be
interested with that, but it is down.

367
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.680
There's no question off of what it
should be. Let's see here.

368
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:37.319
The trend has thus far affected restaurants, shop tour providers, arts and culture

369
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.960
venues, and attractions. Nearly seventy
percent of all visitors spending is not in

370
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.559
lodging, So if you're off eleven
percent there, keep in mind that people

371
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:51.359
spend more outside of where they stay, although it could be expensive to stay

372
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:56.920
in Nashville. All right, So
anybody want to guess why this may be

373
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:03.400
going on, why people may not
be going to Asheville, Because you know,

374
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:10.039
in true Asheville form, there is
no self awareness on the part of

375
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:12.400
any of the city leaders as to
why people may not want to go to

376
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:18.480
Ashville. But I suspect that there
are some things that people can think of

377
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.599
if they put their thinking caps on
and are honest with themselves. Ross,

378
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.519
why do you think people are not
going to Asheville for a vacation in the

379
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:32.359
numbers that they had previously? Dirty
hippies? All right, Ross is on

380
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:37.319
dirty hippies. Okay, I just
I just realized the headline is changed on

381
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:44.440
this again. Asheville business feels the
pain of tourism decline, boon, big

382
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:48.759
beer surges. Really, do you
have numbers to back up that people are

383
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.279
going to boon to stare at something
that it's not my headline? Dude?

384
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:59.720
Oh excuse me. It's from the
Asheville It's not the newspaper. I don't

385
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:02.319
even know what this is. I
guess, Okay, so this is a

386
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:07.960
This is a Asheville Watchdog, which
is a big secondary news site. There.

387
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:14.279
Yeah, I suspect that that's not
But I think you're onto something less

388
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:19.359
dirty hippies and more kind of crime. Man. I told I told you

389
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.200
what happened when I went up there
with crazy homeless dude screaming at me,

390
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:29.880
flipping a cigarette at me. But
also it's the perception, right, you

391
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:31.960
know people people sit there and say, oh, well, people think this

392
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.319
and it's not you. It doesn't
matter what they think, and it will

393
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.519
tell them whether they want to go
somewhere. It's got kind of that San

394
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:42.920
fran vibe. Yeah, that's exactly. They're like, oh no, everything's

395
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:46.119
fine. It's just the media as
being mean. And I'm like, I

396
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:50.200
don't know, man, I've seen
a lot of pictures. I've seen a

397
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:52.160
lot of I've seen a lot of
died in the woold democrats that live in

398
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:59.119
San Francisco taking to social media,
going enough is enough. People don't want

399
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.720
to deal with that when they get
the perception that that is part of the

400
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:08.440
Asheville experience, which, by the
way, Asheville is really expensive compared to

401
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:15.039
other mountain places you can go.
It's really expensive. It's fine, and

402
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.200
I I like the setting of Ashville. I like many of the restaurants that

403
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.720
are around there. But if you're
going to spend the kind of money that

404
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:27.240
you would spend going to Asheville doing
all the stuff, staying at some of

405
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:31.000
the nicer hotels for that amount of
money. To have to put up with

406
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:36.960
any level of crap is going to
influence your decision. So you can go

407
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.519
to boone or you can go to
Frankly, I don't know why you'd want

408
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:42.519
to go to a big city.
Even when I go to Asheville, I

409
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:46.839
prefer to stay outside of there.
But and for not a lot of money,

410
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:51.920
you get a wonderful Airbnb cabin for
what you would spend for one of

411
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:57.039
the more moderate hotels in downtown Asheville, and you got a view for one

412
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:06.599
hundred miles. It's crazy, man, But it's the perception and the crime

413
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:10.760
stats back it up. So anyway, I'm just curious that anybody put off

414
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.920
an Asheville trip. Let us know
eight eight, eight nine, three four

415
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:22.920
seven eight seventy four. Yeah,
they got. They've interviewed like twenty twenty

416
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:29.199
different businesses and they're all hurting.
Yeah. A restaurant over Mike McCarty says

417
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:32.920
he's only doing half the number of
tickets that he did last summer this same

418
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:37.199
week, so that eleven percent on
lodging that is more impactful in the restaurant

419
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:42.639
scene. Well there you go,
all right, go woke, get broke.

420
00:34:42.679 --> 00:35:13.000
I guess all right, good morning
and welcome in seven h six year

421
00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:19.679
on the pc O Day radio program. And look, it's tough. It's

422
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:27.440
tough coming in doing a show the
day after day after such a horrific thing

423
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:37.480
happens. So many people impacted ross
I'm assuming it was pandemonia pandemonium around your

424
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:45.320
house yesterday as the US Women's World
Cup soccer team lost to Sweden, first

425
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.400
time they've ever been eliminated in the
semi final or earlier round. They've always

426
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:54.079
gone at least to the final round. Scoreless. Game came down to penalty

427
00:35:54.199 --> 00:36:00.119
kicks, all the action one could
ask for, and the whole world tuning

428
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:05.000
in and and America unseated by Sweden, which has like ten people in it.

429
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:15.559
So just um, just devastating,
devastating there um. I mean you

430
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:16.800
guys watched, right, I mean, you guys had the party with the

431
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:21.559
vovo Zellas and all that like everybody
else. Oh yeah, absolute pandemonium.

432
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:25.960
Oh wow, Okay, did you
see the penalty kick by a Rappano?

433
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:32.960
There? I did. Now,
you're not a soccer guy, but would

434
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:39.400
would you have would you have done
anything differently than her plan of attack?

435
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:43.320
Because with a penalty kick, it's
a little bit of a site game,

436
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.000
right you kind of you know,
you know, you don't want to be

437
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:51.119
looking where you're kicking. You you
might go for, you know, kick

438
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.280
it as hard as you can and
and just try to get it there before

439
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:58.400
the goalie can react. Other times
you're going for the fake out and you

440
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.400
could dribble it in. In some
of those instances, she took a different

441
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:06.039
approach. Would you have done anything
different than kicking it about six feet over

442
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:07.639
the top of the net, never
allowing a chance for it to score.

443
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.880
I mean I would have tried to
kick it towards the net. Okay,

444
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.239
all right, well, but I'm
not a professional, so I don't know.

445
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:17.239
She kicked it look on the left
to her left to right access was

446
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:22.159
fine? Okay, right, that
wasn't the issue. But unlike I don't

447
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:30.800
know, the crossbars of a football
game, there is a north south aspect

448
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.280
to it too, right, you
gotta so Unfortunately, you can't just kick

449
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.719
it six feet above the now the
goalie never got a hand on it.

450
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:42.360
I will say that, and a
lot of people were upset because she she

451
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:47.440
looked like she was laughing after she
missed it that badly, And I don't

452
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:51.719
know, I gotta you know,
I got my beef with Rappano. I

453
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:58.079
think people react to something a little
differently, and it's not the oddest reaction

454
00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:05.639
I've seen. And ultimately it came
down to a like an inch basically one

455
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:08.800
of Sweden's penalty kicks. Did it
cross the threshold? They reviewed it and

456
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.719
it did so that's why we lost
five to four on the penalty after zero

457
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:22.639
zero goals scored in the ninety minutes
plus overtime, which is it's fun stuff,

458
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:27.599
isn't it. Can you imagine watching
a football game and there's about a

459
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:31.880
one third chance nobody scores during the
regular portion of the game. I think

460
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:37.400
that's the biggest barrier for getting people
excited with soccer. Man, It's why

461
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:44.599
hockey had to make all those fundamental
changes here what ten fifteen years ago they

462
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:51.239
needed to They need to get more
goals basketball fundamentally changing adding the three point

463
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:57.800
line. Now what you do with
soccer, considering that the US really isn't

464
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:04.039
the mecca of soccer, I don't
know what you could maybe allow people to,

465
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.639
you know, sub people in and
out more so than the handful that

466
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:15.679
you're allowed. I don't know what
the answer is. But any who,

467
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:20.880
Yeah, we only get two substitutions. We only are we used one substitution.

468
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.920
I think we were allowed to because
of the overtime. So anyway,

469
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.400
but yeah, US is out,
Sweden moves on and there you go.

470
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:31.920
Like I said, sad for folks. Let's see here, all right,

471
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:37.599
we've got some Ashville stuff here.
Oh it's just people saying that they never

472
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:39.960
go to Ashville. Well, then
you're not who I'm trying to talk to.

473
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.760
I want to know why so many
people said, nah, not Ashville

474
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:51.920
anymore, because they're confounded in the
article they say, among other things,

475
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:57.960
let's see here, they feel that
some people are concerned about the economy and

476
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.280
are not spending as much. All
right, it might be some of it.

477
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.800
Gas prices a little higher, and
people don't want to drive to Asheville

478
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:13.039
when they can get to the mountains
faster. Okay, maybe, but um,

479
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.480
you're the tourism people and you're the
city people, and I feel like

480
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:21.679
maybe you should have at least one
or two other items thrown in there,

481
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:28.280
like, do people feel that they're
fundamentally safe when they're in Nashville, or

482
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:31.519
do they feel like if they go
to the downtown little triangle or square circle

483
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:37.559
thing that's there to go to all
those restaurants, that they're going to be

484
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:47.639
harassed by endless homeless people. Because
that's where my head's at, and it's

485
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.400
too bad. You know, there's
a lot a lot of people have made

486
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:55.960
a lot of investment in Nashville over
the years, and when you're when you're

487
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.280
elected, officials don't give a crap. You You run the risk of being

488
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:13.079
San Francisco, parts of Seattle,
Muscle Beach area out in California where so

489
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:16.880
many iconic movie scenes have taken place. If you look at it now,

490
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:22.400
it is one giant homeless encampment.
It's crazy. There's some YouTube videos that

491
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:27.760
people did walkthroughs down there. Well, you know what the real estate costs

492
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:31.679
to run one of those restaurants or
shops or hotels on the waterfront down there.

493
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:37.800
It's insane, and you pay an
insane amount of taxes and you get

494
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:43.360
nothing from your leaders in attempting to
help protect your investment. Plus, if

495
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:45.840
you're in Asheville, and you speak
out on this, you're probably gonna get

496
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:52.039
moon batted by your fellow business people. Well, they'll call you something with

497
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.159
an isst on the end, when
all you're trying to do is stay in

498
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:00.519
business and protect your investment. So
good luck. I guess what I would

499
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:07.039
say, Yeah, and then I
just go through all the different hotels and

500
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:12.960
shop. Everyone's saying the same thing. Now, when I found this interesting

501
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:19.639
when you look at other tourism options
that draw people from North Carolina, like

502
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.440
Charleston. Charleston has a big,
big, big chunk of the revenue that

503
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:29.280
emanates from North Carolina. They're even
they're flat, actually they're up in May

504
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:36.079
and flat for the rest of summer, so people have no problem taking the

505
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:43.360
drive to Charleston. And Charleston is
equally as expensive, arguably more expensive depending

506
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:49.880
on what you're gonna do, than
it is in Asheville. So I don't

507
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.760
know. Maybe maybe you have a
meeting, put on the thinking caps and

508
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.639
figure out if there's anything else at
play. That'd be my two cents,

509
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:59.440
all right, eight eight, eight
nine three four seven eight seventy four.

510
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:09.280
Let me get to this. NASCAR
has suspended driver Noah Gragson indefinitely. All

511
00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:17.039
right, So what high level crime
did Noah Gragson commit? According to NASCAR

512
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:25.480
and a journalist who combs Twitter,
who suspiciously looks like an activist but calls

513
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:31.599
himself a journalist, Gregson had the
audacity to like a meme on Twitter,

514
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:42.000
the meme which was a I didn't
actually I didn't even get the meme.

515
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.760
Ros did you see the actual meme? I didn't get the meme, but

516
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:54.800
it had George Floyd's head on like
a spider or something. So it was

517
00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:02.000
and it's described as insensitive in the
story. I don't know. But NASCAR,

518
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:07.599
when they heard this, immediately invoked
a section of the rules which states,

519
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:13.000
in part that members should not publicly
disparage people based on their background.

520
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.039
NASCAR said the suspension would be indefinite. All right, Um, was he

521
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.119
disparaging him based on his background?
What does that mean? When you say

522
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.400
background, do you mean like past
actions? So, as a NASCAR driver

523
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:30.519
allowed to point out that George Floyd
stuck a gun in the belly of a

524
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:37.639
pregnant woman, can can can you
bring that up? Can you can you

525
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.440
bring up any of the drug stuff, the other robbery, any of the

526
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.800
stuff or I'm just asking what or
when you say background, do you mean

527
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:52.400
ethnic background? You know which that
one I guess makes sense. Right.

528
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:57.559
You got some NASCAR drivers run around
like I hate Mexicans. Right, that's

529
00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:00.119
probably not going to be good for
your brand. But a single meme based

530
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.960
on an individual, I understood the
meme was referencing something having to do with

531
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.639
him, so it is individualized.
It's not a meme where you could just

532
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:15.920
stick another person's head in there and
it would mean the same thing. But

533
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:23.400
NASCAR, NASCAR didn't care. They
said that here we go, that the

534
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:29.760
that the incident. Well, this
is actually the Motor Club Legacy group which

535
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.800
he drives for, says that his
actions do not represent the values of our

536
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:45.280
team. So right under the bus
he goes. Now, he did issue

537
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:50.519
a statement on Twitter X whatever you
want to call it, and it said

538
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:53.559
quote, I'm disappointed in myself for
the lack of attention and action on social

539
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:58.480
media. I understand the severity of
the situation. I love and appreciate everyone.

540
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.800
I try to treat everyone equally,
no matter who they are. I

541
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.280
messed up, plain and simple.
So he doesn't say that that was the

542
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:08.199
thing, but it seems to address
that that is in fact why he was

543
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:13.079
suspended, because they didn't give specifics. They just said that he violated that

544
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:17.199
and there was big hubbub among activists
on social media that he liked that photo.

545
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:22.880
And then the day after that's what
they do, and then they tell

546
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:29.800
the whole George Floyd's story in the
in the back half of the story,

547
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:32.880
I guess, in case you didn't
know. So, yeah, now they've

548
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:40.079
they've suspended other drivers indefinite and have
allowed them to come back. So whether

549
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:44.960
that is a permanent expulsion from NASCAR
or they're going to wait for the dust

550
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:50.960
to settle, I don't know.
But it did draw a rather interesting elon

551
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:54.360
musk tweet and that's where we're going
to head next on the case O Day

552
00:46:54.480 --> 00:47:06.239
Radio program. Thank you, CAPTI
in the Triad and one oh six one

553
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:13.800
FM Talk in the Triangle. All
right, so several of you have explained

554
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:20.000
the Floyd meme. I didn't make
the connection because I couldn't remember having seen

555
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:23.159
I know I've watched The Little Mermaid, but I can't remember anything about it.

556
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:28.840
I know. That's horrible. So
it was He's they put George Floyd's

557
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:34.840
picture on a crab and then the
words are a riff on a song from

558
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:37.760
the movie Under the Sea, in
this case, it's under the knee all

559
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:43.119
right? Now? Is it?
Is it a rude meme? Absolutely?

560
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:46.039
Is it funny? Not really?
And I gotta tell you, man,

561
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:51.199
if I'm gonna get suspended for something
for clicking on a meme, it better

562
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:54.159
be funny. Better be really clever, really funny. And I don't know

563
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:58.360
if that rises to it, but
you know that's where we are, man.

564
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:02.920
So he liked that. I'm always
I'm always like super cautious too,

565
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:09.320
less so from like the getting canceled
part of it, but from the like

566
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:14.400
I don't I don't want like weird
questions from the audience when I'm scrolling on

567
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:19.199
the timeline of the show account Ross. My greatest fear is not noticing that

568
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.480
I liked something or you know,
because you hit the button and you're just

569
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.320
scrolling and you just tap that part
on your screen and then have get some

570
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:28.960
weird email like I can't believe you
like this, and I'm like, I

571
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:31.719
would have no idea what they're talking
about. I was reading where there was

572
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:35.599
the reading where they're gonna like make
us so like people can't view your legs

573
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:38.960
because a lot of people use the
legs before the bookmarks as like ways to

574
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:42.199
go back and see like, you
know, tweets that they want to see

575
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:49.599
again, right yeah, well,
um, yeah, obviously the algorithm informs

576
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.679
it because if you follow somebody and
you and well, I don't know how

577
00:48:52.760 --> 00:49:00.360
the how it works currently used to
be if you followed somebody and they there

578
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:05.719
was people I had to unfollow because
they would spend all day liking stuff,

579
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:08.320
and then my entire news feed would
be stuff that they I remember a time

580
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:10.480
where the likes when they show up
on my feet, and now they do.

581
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.159
Yeah, now I remember, because
right above it in little little letters,

582
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:17.719
it would say so and so like
this, and then if I saw

583
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.400
that every other one, I'm like, I need to not follow so and

584
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:27.719
so because they are chewing up my
entire timeline. But yeah, So whether

585
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.559
that is something that Elon's going to
do, I don't know. But he

586
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:34.199
did put a tweet out and it
says, if you were unfairly treated by

587
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:37.960
your employer due to posting or liking
something on this platform, we will fund

588
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:43.840
your legal bill, no limit.
Let us know. And he also added

589
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:45.559
and we won't just sue. We
will be extremely loud, and we will

590
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:51.039
go after the boards of directors of
companies too. So he's throwing down the

591
00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:58.679
gauntlet there. You know what that
looks like. I don't know, but

592
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:04.079
a lot of people, a lot
of people we're assuring anecdotal stuff, and

593
00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:06.840
I I the problem is is you
put that out there and you get a

594
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.079
one hundred thousand people all with the
story that's nuanced and you don't know all

595
00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:14.079
the details of I don't know how
you sift through all of that. I

596
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:15.119
guess what you're gonna have to do
is you're gonna have to figure out the

597
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:20.920
high profile stuff like the NASCAR driver
and go from there. In addition,

598
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:28.599
they are going to put together a
public relations campaign against companies that punish employees

599
00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:35.079
for what they do on social media. And I saw people responding with,

600
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:37.199
oh, you know what, maybe
they're just making a business decision. Well,

601
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:42.039
this isn't a government messing with them. This is another business. So

602
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:45.599
if two businesses want to duke it
out, you know, let them,

603
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:50.480
let them do it. You don't
you don't have to agree with Elon's position

604
00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:53.920
or the business's position. But that's
what they're gonna do. And he's got

605
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:58.679
a he's got a big old megaphone, man. And remember he sued a

606
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:02.480
he sued a non off at which
five and read the descriptions of this.

607
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:12.599
This nonprofit is essentially funded by his
competitors and is demonstrably in each of the

608
00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:20.400
stories that I read about them ideologically
driven. And they don't like Elon Musk

609
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:23.679
because they liked the level of control
that they had. But he's out ready

610
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:30.719
to sue. So there you go. This is one oh six one FM

611
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:38.360
talk in the Triangle and here's talking
naught four WPTI in the Triad. All

612
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:43.320
right, set five and happy Monday
morning. It's gonna be a billion to

613
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:52.920
hurries out. Well, we'll chat
with the Jeff Mahr god who rostolm is

614
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:55.119
on Race AGEIX. A coward.
He didn't want to show up when he's

615
00:51:55.119 --> 00:52:00.360
gonna have the feels like up near
one hundred and ten. So but we'll

616
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:04.199
talk to the folks here in just
a few minutes from the weather Channel and

617
00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:10.440
we'll see how that's how long that's
that fun's gonna last. Let me get

618
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:15.679
back on this. I don't I
don't admit that I know all of the

619
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:24.039
rules of Twitch, but I do
get the sense that they are somewhat arbitrary

620
00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:31.039
at times in some of the stories
I've read and some of the videos I've

621
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:37.800
consumed from content creators talking about situations
like when m who was the big,

622
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:45.400
big, big streamer that they they
eighty six and no one knew why doctor

623
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:49.360
how what is his name? Doctor
disrespect? Right? Well, they knew

624
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:53.559
the reason why he was thrown off. Well what he broadcasts live from a

625
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:58.639
bathroom at twitch con at a twitch
convention, like a live stream from inside

626
00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:00.800
a bathroom, which is like,
you can't that? Okay, all right,

627
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:04.840
But they didn't know for a while, right was the thing? No?

628
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:07.400
I think they knew immediately. Oh
now, I then maybe we're talking

629
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:10.519
about two different things. I remember
reading this story where it was like people

630
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:15.119
were probably trying to figure out what
it was, okay, and and and

631
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:19.039
then they would point out that even
if it was that didn't one of the

632
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:24.440
female twitch streamers literally have sex on
her stream? I mean you couldn't see

633
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:30.840
the bottom half of her. Would
you say that twitch twitch is a bit

634
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:34.760
arbitrary in the way that they enforced
there wood, Yes, okay, all

635
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:42.840
right, I'm only asking because over
the weekend, there was a gathering or

636
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.440
a riot, Benny, and I
guess what you want to call it.

637
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:52.280
It looked pretty riety to me.
But a gathering that was an impromptu gathering

638
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:57.079
that was promoted by a twitch streamer
by the name of Kai Sennet Snet.

639
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:00.239
I don't know how to pronounce his
name. I'm assuming he's a big deal,

640
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:05.440
considering he's got I was able to
get all of those people to show

641
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:09.880
up on a whim. The popular
twitch streamer held a giveaway saying that he

642
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:16.360
was gonna be giving away ps fives
and some other stuff at a gathering at

643
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:23.079
Union Square in New York City,
and literally thousand plus people showed up.

644
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:29.679
And I don't know the totality of
how it started and how it evolved,

645
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:35.880
what it evolved too, but it
turned riot real quick. Yeah, PlayStation

646
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:38.960
five's overwhelming number of people showed up. I saw some people saying he didn't

647
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:43.199
even give the PlayStations away, And
I don't know whether he didn't have him

648
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:45.880
or it's because it's hard to do
a giveaway in the middle of a riot.

649
00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:53.679
But yeah, So among the things
that transpired is altercations with police.

650
00:54:54.159 --> 00:54:58.920
There is a video that I saw
that people are calling police brutality. Were

651
00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:05.880
a one individual? Is they?
The cops just grab them because some had

652
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:09.400
been trying to break a window and
they slam them against a van and the

653
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:14.239
back windows smashes in. They're saying
that they did it with his face,

654
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:16.280
but it looks like it's the officer's
hand that broke it, and it might

655
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:19.199
have been the wind and it was
the window they were trying to break,

656
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.599
so maybe it was cracked. So
that's its own incident, all on its

657
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:28.280
own. A teenager accidentally shot himself
in the arm, so that's good.

658
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:31.039
All the barricades were stripped down,
massive fighting broke out, jumping in,

659
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:37.039
vandalism of cars, chairs were thrown, windows were smashed on adjacent businesses.

660
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:43.599
Twelve people injured. They asked to
make two thousand people were at the event

661
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:45.800
and it just turned into straight pandemonium. And now they're trying to figure out,

662
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:50.559
well, what do you do?
Do you charge this guy with inciting

663
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:57.199
a riot? I mean, you
have all the permitting crap. Obviously the

664
00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:59.880
New York's need to be like,
you didn't get a permit for your gathering,

665
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.039
to which I think he'd say,
look, I went on Twitch and

666
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:05.400
I said, I gotta I'm gonna
give these away and I'm gonna be here

667
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.760
and if people want to show up, they can show up. I don't

668
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.960
know that you're gonna win there,
but you know, what responsibility does one

669
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.440
have if they I don't think he
told anyone to riot unless I missed something,

670
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:19.679
And I don't know. Maybe the
guy's a d bag. I know

671
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:23.760
nothing about him, but I know
that his fan base sucks. I had

672
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:28.119
never heard of the person, yeah, never heard the name before, but

673
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:31.280
watching the video, I'm like,
man, that community is like the community

674
00:56:31.320 --> 00:56:36.360
he's built, apparently, little toxic, little bit a little bit, yeah,

675
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:39.880
yeah, yeah, yeah, So
you know, but you know,

676
00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:43.400
here's the thing. If we on
the radio said, hey, you know

677
00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:46.639
what Ross got. Don't ask how
it happened, but a box fell off

678
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:50.320
a truck and now he's got a
bunch of PS fives he's gonna give away.

679
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.599
Join us at something later. I
mean, that actually happened this weekend.

680
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:57.280
I can't believe you haven't brought it
up yet. A box of PS

681
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.760
fives fell off a truck I gave
away. I did a witch giveaway.

682
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:06.119
Okay, it was unlimited breadsticks at
the Olive Garden wake Forest, and at

683
00:57:06.119 --> 00:57:08.559
first I want to apologize. As
a twitch streamer, it's my responsibility not

684
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:15.119
to destroy my city and not to
cause there. Yeah, there was,

685
00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:16.719
I mean it was awful. We
had at least like twenty people show up,

686
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:21.719
and uh, I can't believe the
Olive Garden is still standing. I

687
00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:24.440
just want to I want to apologize
in my defense. Um, it's a

688
00:57:24.519 --> 00:57:29.719
Thentic Italian cuisine and the chefs are
trained in Tuscany, right, So I

689
00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:34.079
mean that's out of my hands.
So I apologize for the for the damage

690
00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:37.920
that the haze for Shaff twitch channel
did at the wake Forest Alive Garden.

691
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:43.039
I apologize. Nice promotion problem.
Hey, um, you know I will

692
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:45.800
say this about your Olive Garden riot, which I was not aware of till

693
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:51.199
now. Um, I went to
Zaccatti Park, remember when they were all

694
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:54.280
gathered down there, and it didn't
smell so good the occupy stuff, Yeah,

695
00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:58.320
the occupy it didn't smell good at
all. But I bet this your

696
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:06.079
riot smelled great. Say like like
Italy and Tuscany. You close your eyes,

697
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.920
you're like, am I and then
you know Tuscany or whatever. But

698
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:14.559
during a riot and then you're just
you're you're ported back to that memory.

699
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:15.960
So, like I said, I
don't know much about this twitch streamer that

700
00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:20.159
caused the panic in New York City, but just seeing the you know,

701
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.480
comparing that to the damage there in
wake Forest that my channel did, I

702
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:30.880
think we're pretty much at equal levels. I yes, yes, you're right.

703
00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:35.320
They should do lots of news stories
about you and use your handle uh

704
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:37.639
in in all of the coverage.
I can't imagine if they did, I'd

705
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:43.320
feel so bad. No, But
but I'm like, obviously his his followers

706
00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:47.280
suck and uh the suckiest of the
sucks showed up and they're on top of

707
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:52.159
like cars, like like right,
just destroying them. But does he you

708
00:58:52.199 --> 00:59:00.000
know, is that is that on
him? If he said something like ah,

709
00:58:59.840 --> 00:59:01.800
you know, go go destroy cart
fine, but is that on him?

710
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:09.280
It reminds me of the yes,
much smaller version, but like War

711
00:59:09.320 --> 00:59:13.000
of the World's right, Like,
was he responsible for that broadcast in the

712
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:21.480
panic that it created? Well,
yeah, I don't know. I for

713
00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:24.880
two reasons. One and I don't
I guess I don't know what the licensing

714
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:28.880
was at the time. I know
that they they literally there are rules now

715
00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:35.039
on radio the day back to that, but you know, it was federally

716
00:59:35.079 --> 00:59:37.639
regulated at the time, just not
to the extent that it is now.

717
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:43.960
And in this case, yeah,
you know what, maybe it's because I

718
00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:50.519
don't choose to see even big time
streamers as big time celebrities. But he

719
00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:52.679
is. He's got millions of followers. Yeah, obviously he is right,

720
00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:55.599
and he has the same sort of
impact that that sort of broadcast would do

721
00:59:55.679 --> 00:59:59.320
back in the day. It's free, you can tune, right, you

722
00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:01.360
don't have to pay for or so
it's no different than terresto radio in that

723
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:05.400
respect. I mean, you have
to pay for your internet. But the

724
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:10.320
only thing I would say is if
you, let's say, if you honestly

725
01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:16.760
believe that aliens were here and they're
murdering, yes, like because you heard

726
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:20.639
it on this thing, that only
tells the truth at least in your mind

727
01:00:20.639 --> 01:00:27.719
to that point, Is that the
same as reacting to you didn't win getting

728
01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:30.840
a PS five and aliens right encountering
ear at the same level. No,

729
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:35.199
no, no, no, But
I miss if your reason for writing is

730
01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:38.119
you didn't win the PS five or
there wasn't a PS five, is some

731
01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:45.239
were claiming the reaction if you honestly
believe that to the reaction that you honestly

732
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:47.679
believe the aliens were, it's your
neighbor's house eating their brains at this moment,

733
01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:52.440
and they're coming for you. Right
if you honestly believe both of those,

734
01:00:52.599 --> 01:00:58.960
I don't feel that an equal reaction
is would be Okay. You've obviously

735
01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:02.280
never been looking for a five and
couldn't find one, Nor have I been

736
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:07.280
accosted by aliens want to? Yeah, so you're right. Who am I

737
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:12.360
to question it? All right?
Anyway? Seven forty five, you said,

738
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:16.679
Jeff Mark for the Weather Channels.
Hello, So mister Stagak picks the

739
01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:22.000
day one of the hottest days that
they're going to drop on us and then

740
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:24.000
loads it off to you. I
feel bad, man. Yeah, not

741
01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:28.639
only a hot today, but maybe
some severe thunderstorms tonight. So well,

742
01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:30.079
all right, take us through it. How long is it gonna last?

743
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:34.079
Yeah? Well, the heat it's
going to stick around for a few days

744
01:01:34.079 --> 01:01:36.719
obviously to start off this week,
and the hottest day will be this Monday,

745
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:38.719
with the heat advisory from eleven this
morning till seven this evening. We'll

746
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:42.840
see some sunshine. The high ninety
six they heat index as highs one hundred

747
01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:44.679
and one oh five. That's how
hot will feel. I we're gonna out

748
01:01:44.679 --> 01:01:46.519
to mount with this humidity level min
tonight ahead of a front, showers and

749
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:50.599
storms roll in. Some of these
storms may turn severe and proves damaging wins

750
01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:52.559
avernight of clearing. Trend is the
front moves out a low down to seventy

751
01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:55.639
four study slightly cooler tomorrow high of
ninety one. We'll see some more sun

752
01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:59.639
Wednesday and hit the low nineties than
into the upper eighties on Thursday, with

753
01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:02.719
some scatter showers and thunderstorms. All
right, thank you, we're talking an

754
01:02:02.719 --> 01:02:06.840
hour, sir, appreciate it.
Yep, alright, seven forty six k

755
01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:12.719
c O Day Radio program coming up
this um, here we go this White

756
01:02:12.719 --> 01:02:17.000
House press credential purge. You're probably
not seeing a bunch of news on it.

757
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:23.400
I remember when Trump tried to have
two individual reporters have their credentials pulled.

758
01:02:23.440 --> 01:02:28.719
It was the end of journalism.
This is a third of credential White

759
01:02:28.719 --> 01:02:32.280
House reporters, and it's interesting who's
on the list. We'll give you that

760
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:37.119
coming up next here on the k
c O Day radio program Smart Talk All

761
01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:44.159
Day four five WPTI in the Triad
and one oh six one FM talk in

762
01:02:44.239 --> 01:02:54.199
the triangle. All right, seven
fifty one and welcome back. What the

763
01:02:54.280 --> 01:03:00.000
White House is doing with press credentials. I think people need to fundamentally understand

764
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:07.320
it and understand that this kind of
gate keeping goes on in many situations.

765
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:09.079
I don't know if it still is
the case, but even at the North

766
01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:19.000
Carolina General Assembly as it pertains to
press credentials and more permanent press credentials hard

767
01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:22.760
passes as the White House calls them, but also use of space which is

768
01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:28.280
limited. I understand, right,
you look at if you ever looked at

769
01:03:28.360 --> 01:03:31.360
the amount of reporter workspace and the
press room at the White House, it's

770
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:37.719
not a ton That's why the room
always looks obviously full, you know,

771
01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:42.920
overflowing people standing there. However,
they've seemed to get by. Okay,

772
01:03:43.480 --> 01:03:47.039
they've seemed to get by. So
the White House in May announced that they

773
01:03:47.039 --> 01:03:53.159
were going to update the credentialing rules
for reporters. At the time, they

774
01:03:53.199 --> 01:04:00.360
had one thousand, four hundred and
seventeen individuals who had access but didn't certainly

775
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:06.639
attend every day obviously, but had
a hard pass allowing them to access the

776
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:11.880
entire campus. There the White House, all of the press stuff, the

777
01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:15.440
press, not just the daily pressers, but anytime the president's doing some in

778
01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:18.719
the Rose Garden. Right, this
is all, this is all there,

779
01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:23.400
and you're asking yourself, why is
there fourteen hundred? And that's because,

780
01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:30.519
you know, unlike some outlets that
have a person that is solely all the

781
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:35.280
time there, some of the outlets
have multiple people, right, and then

782
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:40.519
they have press credentials not just for
the reporters, but for the photographers,

783
01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:44.960
for other individuals. Well, they
wanted to make a change, they said,

784
01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:48.639
And now the number of hard passes
is under nine hundred and eighty.

785
01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:53.960
It's nine seventy five. Actually,
so they went from fourteen hundred and nine

786
01:04:54.119 --> 01:05:01.519
seventy five. Well, who's impacted
the smaller outlets? Absolutely? Smaller outlets

787
01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:06.760
are alternative news outlets and seemingly a
bunch of people who tend to ask critical

788
01:05:06.840 --> 01:05:13.719
questions, including what is the what
is the name of Simon to Teba's outlet

789
01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:17.400
Today News Africa. Have you ever
seen this dude on Twitter? He is

790
01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:25.719
a pain in Jean Pierre's but he
is, and he points out loudly in

791
01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:31.480
many instances during the actual press conferences
that he still has never been allowed to

792
01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:38.159
ask a question, and when he
does get starts firing a question, she

793
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:41.559
won't necessarily answer it, but it
is a much more critical question than is

794
01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:44.280
being asked of most of the people
who get a question a week or a

795
01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:51.440
question to day. He's out Under
the new standards, Let's see here.

796
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:59.360
Under the new standards, reporters who
wish to qualify for a hard pass will

797
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:05.119
be required to currently have press credentials
from Congress or the Supreme Court. This

798
01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:12.159
is the dirty little trick here.
So the Suprememny reporters have a hard pass

799
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:18.840
for the Supreme Court twenty five.
It's extremely limited, so most most reporters

800
01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:21.400
don't have that. And when I
see reporters, it can be the same

801
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:27.599
outlet, it doesn't have to be
necessarily the same reporter. For Congress it's

802
01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:38.119
different though there are a lot more
press gallery passes, but the Congress doesn't

803
01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:42.199
issue the press credentials. This is
this is where you get into the gate

804
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.119
keeping. And I remember when we
first launched this station back in the day,

805
01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:49.079
when we were going through everything.
When we when we had we had

806
01:06:49.079 --> 01:06:55.480
a much fuller news room. Part
of the job of getting everything organized is

807
01:06:55.519 --> 01:07:00.199
I wanted to get us credentialed for
the North Carolina General Assembly. We had

808
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:05.679
been credential where I worked in Minneapolis. I actually had a credential myself and

809
01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:10.199
I didn't use it very much,
but we used it when we needed to

810
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:15.679
use it and there weren't any problems. But I was It was very interesting

811
01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:18.920
because I started looking at how do
you get a credential for the General Assembly?

812
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:25.519
And the people who decide whether you
get a credential is the Press Association.

813
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:30.960
And I think at the time when
we launched w r l's Laura Leslie

814
01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:36.880
was in charge of it, and
so if and I'm not Laura didn't deny

815
01:07:38.119 --> 01:07:42.960
or anything, but we did have
a little back and forth over it about

816
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:45.320
space and I'm like, I don't
need space, I just want us to

817
01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:49.840
have a credential, but that organization
has to agree to give you one.

818
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:55.079
And that's how it works in Congress. So the very same large news outlets

819
01:07:55.119 --> 01:08:00.000
that are generally on the you know, hold the office within these press associations,

820
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:05.639
Well, what's their incentive to have
you competition to have a press credential,

821
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:10.760
Especially if you're an outlet like many
of these smaller outlets are that don't

822
01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:15.560
keep a large enough staff to cover
Congress on the regular. They have a

823
01:08:15.680 --> 01:08:18.760
person there whose job it is to
cover the White House, and that's a

824
01:08:18.800 --> 01:08:25.399
lot of them, and now that
person is not going to be able to

825
01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:28.760
do it. They're among the four
hundred and forty two reporters who lost their

826
01:08:29.039 --> 01:08:33.720
press credentials, and it just so
happens. Many many are like the Daily

827
01:08:33.840 --> 01:08:40.720
Signal is where I'm reading this article
there among them. They tend to they

828
01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:44.600
tend to be alternative media. They
tend to be religious media. I think

829
01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:50.880
two of the Christian outlets lost theirs. But they are individual news agencies that

830
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:55.840
have, you know, like a
maybe one team in Washington, DC and

831
01:08:56.039 --> 01:09:00.479
have covered for fourteen years. In
the case of two of the reporters here,

832
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:08.319
Fred Lucas, yeah he's been their
fourteen years covering it. But the

833
01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:12.079
Daily Signal writes critical stuff and they
ask critical questions if they're ever allowed a

834
01:09:12.199 --> 01:09:15.840
question, as do many of these
other outlets, And now they don't have

835
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:18.399
to be they can say, well, we're not the ones. We'll give

836
01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:21.079
it to them if they can get
a congressional pass, and then they'll leave

837
01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:27.840
it up to CNN ABC, NBC
and the rest on the congressional side to

838
01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:31.560
deny them the credentials and then the
White House doesn't have to deal with it.

839
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:39.920
I remember Donald Trump took all that
grief for literally being hitler, for

840
01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:46.680
not wanting Brian Caram and CNN's reporter
there and not a peat that four hundred

841
01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:51.319
and forty one just got run.
But yeah, there's some there's some dirty,

842
01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:55.279
dirty pool going on here. All
right, we'll be back. Hang

843
01:09:55.319 --> 01:10:34.960
on, all right, get born
in, everybody. I'm Welcolm of our

844
01:10:35.079 --> 01:10:43.199
number three eight oh seven year around
the ACO game radio program, Do do

845
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:45.039
do do? All? Right over
the week band. If you're a fan

846
01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:50.880
of one of the ACC teams and
you were watching yet another weekend of poaching

847
01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:57.920
going on, um, get ready
for it because now and people go,

848
01:10:58.039 --> 01:11:00.600
why are you doing sports? Well, sometimes we do sports, but this

849
01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:02.840
is more than sports, even you
know, with the ACC being in North

850
01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:10.720
Carolina institution. So let's see what's
the list. We had, Oregon,

851
01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:16.079
Washington, USC, UCLA all went
to the Big ten, Colorado, Utah,

852
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:20.199
Arizona and Arizona State to the Big
twelve. So basically all the Western

853
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:30.239
conferences are ransacked. And now it's
up to the ACC. That's right.

854
01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:34.840
Many of the big schools that seem
attractive for both the Big Ten and SEC

855
01:11:35.199 --> 01:11:43.680
now reside in the ACC. The
problem thus far as to why teams have

856
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:48.680
not been poached while other conferences has
has to do with the media deal,

857
01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:55.079
which is in effect to like twenty
thirty six at the ACC secured and it

858
01:11:55.479 --> 01:12:02.560
is extremely, extremely poison pilled against
teams leaving the conference. How about I'm

859
01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:08.720
trying to think, well, how
about to Maryland get hit? Yeah,

860
01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:13.119
I got pop pretty good. But
I think in the end I read an

861
01:12:13.199 --> 01:12:15.079
article where they're like, yeah,
totally worth it. So I think that

862
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:18.479
this latest media deal, in the
length of it, was about not having

863
01:12:18.520 --> 01:12:25.079
Maryland happen again. Big finds and
payouts have to be paid for teams that

864
01:12:25.159 --> 01:12:31.119
wish to leave. Among the schools
that are on the couldn't leave list Clemson.

865
01:12:33.119 --> 01:12:39.720
Clemson wants to be in the SEC
something terrible. Florida State does not

866
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:43.800
like the ACC. They've been very
vocal Virginia, Miami and U n C.

867
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:46.319
Could you see UNC leaving the ACC. And by the way, if

868
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:50.520
you're a State fan, or a
Duke fan or not a fan of UNC,

869
01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:55.840
don't go yeah, yeah, they
should totally leave. I mean,

870
01:12:56.039 --> 01:12:59.079
you can have your feelings about it, but the conference is what it is.

871
01:12:59.159 --> 01:13:02.479
Man, just because you're awake Forest
fan, do you really want UNC

872
01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:12.199
gone? I don't know about that. Yeah. Florida States Administration express desire

873
01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:15.039
to leave the league last week,
and reports say the school has started to

874
01:13:15.079 --> 01:13:19.960
talk to JP Morgan about financing what
would be a rather heavy financial lift to

875
01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:29.279
leave the league. Duke's a bit
of a wild card, although I did

876
01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:31.359
see a comment where they said Duke
said that they're not looking to leave unless

877
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:36.720
the ACC breaks apart, and then
they would look at it. I guess,

878
01:13:36.760 --> 01:13:45.880
but I don't know, man.
Virginia Techs indicated that they might.

879
01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:51.399
So just just know that if you
watched all that over the weekend and you

880
01:13:51.439 --> 01:13:55.319
haven't seen a lot of ACC talk
on this, it's because of that.

881
01:13:55.399 --> 01:13:58.840
But now they're to the point where
if you're going to get out and get

882
01:13:58.880 --> 01:14:01.920
into a new conference, now's the
time. So expect I think some of

883
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:05.560
that to worm its way into the
news. All right, let me grab

884
01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:11.319
a called Janet. Good morning to
you. How you doing. I'm getting

885
01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:13.960
casey, I hope you are.
I'm pretty good? All right? You

886
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:15.880
we were talking about Ashville earlier,
because I believe it or not, their

887
01:14:15.920 --> 01:14:21.920
tourism numbers are way down, and
in the entire clueless article of them wondering

888
01:14:21.960 --> 01:14:26.960
why that might be, Um,
they never mentioned perhaps that people might feel

889
01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:30.680
it's unsafe a little bit. So
where are you at, Janet? Yeah,

890
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:35.399
people who go work generally are a
bit clueless. Um. So I

891
01:14:35.560 --> 01:14:41.880
put probably the best rest and trip
I've ever had in Asheville. Um and

892
01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:45.560
before I've know on, let's know, we can't. So it didn't even

893
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:49.000
cost that much, It wasn't terribly
expensive. It was awesome, and we

894
01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:54.079
had every intention of going back into
one and again. Then they came out

895
01:14:54.119 --> 01:14:59.239
with the reparations nonsense. And my
family has literally been here for three generations.

896
01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:01.159
We had ready to do with that. I don't owe anybody anything,

897
01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:08.199
an apology, a penny, nothing. That's when I decided not to go

898
01:15:08.279 --> 01:15:11.159
back to Asheville. That and the
fact that I already knew they had a

899
01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:15.520
bunch of already hippies out that supporting
man. Yeah. But but but hippies

900
01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:17.960
in Ashville, that's that's been a
known commodity for a very long time,

901
01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:21.800
and you know, people knew that
they knew that there was going to see

902
01:15:21.880 --> 01:15:27.039
the were buskers downtown and all that, and that never bothered people. But

903
01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:31.239
it's obviously it's it's different when you're
talking about some of the homelessness, some

904
01:15:31.279 --> 01:15:35.800
of the crime and the concept of
what you're talking about. Well, if

905
01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:41.239
I'm spending money there and that money's
going to support things like they remember they

906
01:15:41.279 --> 01:15:44.760
tried to set up their own autonomous
zone there and thankfully the police did something,

907
01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:48.039
and then they gutted the police for
their efforts. So yeah, right

908
01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:51.159
right, And that's that's the whole
reason I want to ever get met because

909
01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:55.399
all that working on, I don't
want to do anything to support it.

910
01:15:57.520 --> 01:16:00.960
Well, I again, I know
what's driving people, but I think it's

911
01:16:01.079 --> 01:16:03.479
um, I think that that could
be some of it. And them coming

912
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:06.880
up with a couple of things like, oh, it's gas prices, Well,

913
01:16:08.039 --> 01:16:11.199
okay, how does it compare to
other years when gas prices are high?

914
01:16:11.239 --> 01:16:14.760
And you and you see that those
years maybe had a slight dip,

915
01:16:14.800 --> 01:16:17.159
but they weren't losing as much as
they're losing now, So something else is

916
01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:21.119
going on. All right, all
right, all right, thank you very

917
01:16:21.159 --> 01:16:24.359
much for the call. Appreciate it. This morning, Janet, I have

918
01:16:24.399 --> 01:16:28.439
a go one. Okay, all
right, did you do you do so?

919
01:16:28.960 --> 01:16:32.680
Yeah? Yeah, I think people
are more concerned. I did see.

920
01:16:32.680 --> 01:16:36.239
Oh, speaking of people pushing back
with their dollar, one of the

921
01:16:38.640 --> 01:16:46.239
one of the legacy Anheuser Bush family
members is um read that as somebody who

922
01:16:46.279 --> 01:16:53.760
owns I'm sure a massive amount of
original stock in in Anaheuser Bush still following

923
01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:59.840
the purchase. He's not a fan
of Dylan mulveney and the decision to do

924
01:16:59.880 --> 01:17:05.840
that. And it's like, yeah, I suspect when you're just you know,

925
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:10.399
you didn't work and you're just living
on an inheritance and it's all dependent

926
01:17:10.439 --> 01:17:13.640
on the stock price, You're you're
gonna be out and be vocal. But

927
01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:17.159
where were you before, man,
where were you on the when this was

928
01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:21.399
going down? And remember it wasn't
just mulvaney. Mulvaney was part of it.

929
01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:26.520
What was more offensive to a lot
of people was the attitude of the

930
01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:32.039
marketing check referring, you know,
referring to the people, the loyal people

931
01:17:32.039 --> 01:17:36.560
to continue to be your customers and
make you the number one beer as fratish

932
01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:42.760
and aloof and and you know,
just a very derogatory attitude towards them.

933
01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:47.159
That's what really tick or that at
the very least Dylan drew the eyes.

934
01:17:47.359 --> 01:17:53.439
But that is what captured I think
people's minds when they heard that. So,

935
01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:56.920
yeah, you're gonna see consumers and
perhaps, yeah, it's right.

936
01:17:56.960 --> 01:18:00.239
Perhaps some of the it is just
a work for consumer going, I'm not

937
01:18:00.279 --> 01:18:06.800
going to spend money when all I
read is insanity out of there. Oh

938
01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:11.239
they didn't bring it up in their
article. But perhaps it is in fact

939
01:18:11.359 --> 01:18:15.520
part of the equation. All right, check this out. Well, let

940
01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:18.199
me do that. Let me do
this. So I remember we covered this

941
01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:24.880
story. This woman's gonna get no
jail time and what she did is pretty

942
01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:27.920
horrible, and frankly, I don't
know why she wants to be here,

943
01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:33.079
and that didn't seem to come into
the equation. So if you don't remember

944
01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:38.119
the story of the woman who was
so mad over the killing of Iranian General

945
01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:43.399
Solomany, what she did in Las
Vegas, she's gonna get no jail time

946
01:18:43.439 --> 01:18:45.000
for and it's pretty horrendous. We'll
get to that coming up here on the

947
01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:51.680
k c O Day radio program one
sie Am Talk and w PTI, two

948
01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:58.760
stations driving the best in talk.
This is Cady and Carolina's Morning News.

949
01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:05.840
All right, good morning eight nineteen. Boy, this is a this is

950
01:19:05.840 --> 01:19:13.079
a tough decision. I don't know
man. All right, So, a

951
01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:17.279
seventy four year old Florida man has
been arrested for manslaughter after deputies say they

952
01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:29.119
identified him based on a photo that
ran in the newspaper. This is crazy

953
01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:31.640
story, so us, I'll tell
you what the photo was about here just

954
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:36.279
a moment. But first, Robert
Moore Junior was charged with punching an eighty

955
01:19:36.319 --> 01:19:40.239
seven year old man in the face, which eventually led to his death.

956
01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:46.760
And how old is he's seventy four? Dang? Tangling it up? Do

957
01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:50.319
you go as harsh on a seventy
four year old for punching an eighty seven

958
01:19:50.399 --> 01:19:56.520
year old considering that, you know, you see these stories where somebody punch

959
01:19:56.560 --> 01:19:59.800
as an elderly person and they die, but they're you know, the stories

960
01:19:59.800 --> 01:20:03.000
are like they're thirty or something,
or it was you know, some random

961
01:20:03.000 --> 01:20:09.960
attack. Yeah, two retired dudes
fighting. I don't know, man.

962
01:20:13.039 --> 01:20:16.119
The Sumter County Sheriff's Office says it
responded to what was referred to as a

963
01:20:16.279 --> 01:20:21.640
vehicle accident at Glen View Country Club
Before the arrival, the victim's wife told

964
01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:26.199
deputies that a white male had attacked
her husband after accidentally. So it's a

965
01:20:26.279 --> 01:20:32.960
road rage thing, the victim told
deputy as he was pulling into a parking

966
01:20:33.000 --> 01:20:38.479
spot when he struck the front bumper
of Oh all right, so old old

967
01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:43.800
person, golf club member. What
do you think it was? Kind of

968
01:20:43.840 --> 01:20:48.039
car was he driving? Of course
it was Alexis. If you got Alexis,

969
01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:51.039
that's fine. It's just do you
ever drive over to a country club.

970
01:20:51.159 --> 01:20:56.439
It's like when there's a lot of
alexis Is, usually the gold ones,

971
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:00.000
and if you go to a realist
state. I went to a golf

972
01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:05.560
tournament for one of the big real
estate companies here, and I show up

973
01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:09.399
and I pulled into the parking lot. And this was years ago when all

974
01:21:09.439 --> 01:21:15.000
of those midsize Lexus SUVs were very
popular, and it looked like it was

975
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:17.399
a Lexus dealership because you know,
real estate agents, man, they love

976
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:24.279
those luxury SUVs. And I was
just I'm sitting there and I'm like,

977
01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:27.920
okay, I can't help myself.
So we're there and we're talking and I

978
01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:30.640
come walking in. I meet my
buddy, who's one invited me and he's

979
01:21:30.640 --> 01:21:31.560
got a bunch of agents around there, and I'm like, yeah, man,

980
01:21:31.640 --> 01:21:35.640
I hit a hit Alexis SUV when
I was trying to back in just

981
01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:40.760
to see how many heads turned,
because I found that amusing. But anyway,

982
01:21:40.800 --> 01:21:45.159
so Black Alexis a little dust up
in the parking lot. According to

983
01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:48.199
the Sheriff's office, More approached the
scene and yelled, what the heck you

984
01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:54.079
hit my car. The victim admitted
to hitting the car and provided his insurance

985
01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:58.279
info, but More was he was
unhappy, and he punched the dude in

986
01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:00.960
the jaw. So it wasn't even
they were both fighting. Yeah, all

987
01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:06.039
right, So how did they figure
out who he was? Because they couldn't.

988
01:22:06.039 --> 01:22:12.640
They didn't know who it was.
Well, idiots, picture ran in

989
01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:16.880
the paper, because are you ready
for this? He got a hole in

990
01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:20.119
one because I guess karma is you
kill somebody and then you get a hole

991
01:22:20.119 --> 01:22:24.119
in one, which I don't have
a hole in one yet, but I'm

992
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:31.199
willing to try. Whatever. So
that happened in the middle of July,

993
01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:39.399
and then here we go. Oh
no, I'm sorry he passed away middle

994
01:22:39.439 --> 01:22:47.760
of July. I'm just trying to
get the timeline here. So then the

995
01:22:47.920 --> 01:22:50.239
police are trying to figure out,
Okay, well, who would have done

996
01:22:50.279 --> 01:22:55.960
it and what we need to find
somebody who's wearing this outfit. Well,

997
01:22:56.000 --> 01:23:01.359
it just so happened. Are you
ready for this? That the suspect got

998
01:23:01.359 --> 01:23:05.000
a hole in one while wearing the
same outfit he wore the day of the

999
01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:12.439
crime, one of his standard golf
outlets outfits, and that's how police tracked

1000
01:23:12.479 --> 01:23:18.840
him down. More on this in
a moment. Hang on, Oh geez,

1001
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:23.840
I'm sorry, you know what,
I'm stupid. Ross's Russ for some

1002
01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:26.720
reason. Man, I was sitting
there and I'm like, I didn't take

1003
01:23:26.760 --> 01:23:30.439
the break yet. So anyway,
so this dude wearing the same out wasn't

1004
01:23:30.479 --> 01:23:33.359
the same day he wore the same
outfit when he then went back and got

1005
01:23:33.399 --> 01:23:36.920
a hole in one at a different
golf club that ran in the paper,

1006
01:23:38.159 --> 01:23:42.279
and based on the witness description and
him wearing the same outfit, that's how

1007
01:23:42.319 --> 01:23:48.119
they caught him. But so here's
what I'm torn on. Okay, I

1008
01:23:48.279 --> 01:23:51.840
really want a hole in one,
and I really if I get what I

1009
01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:57.399
there's a few people I feel need
to know about it, and maybe you'd

1010
01:23:57.399 --> 01:23:59.560
have to run it in the paper. But I'm not gonna hide it.

1011
01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:04.520
So is it worth potentially going to
jail to tell everyone about your hole in

1012
01:24:04.600 --> 01:24:09.079
one? Well, if you play
enough golf, maybe it is. Dude,

1013
01:24:09.079 --> 01:24:12.720
I had not this summer, but
two summers ago, I had the

1014
01:24:12.760 --> 01:24:16.439
worst hole in one luck around me. I watched two of them, and

1015
01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:21.600
I was with a group where there
was eight of us and they were behind

1016
01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:27.640
us where they got one. So
I was I was connected to three and

1017
01:24:27.680 --> 01:24:32.920
none of them were mine. But
yeah, so this guy gets a whole

1018
01:24:32.960 --> 01:24:39.279
he literally is arrested for manslaughter of
this guy now, but he does that,

1019
01:24:39.399 --> 01:24:41.640
then gets a hole in one a
few weeks later, and they run

1020
01:24:41.640 --> 01:24:45.159
a picture of him wearing the same
outfit. Here's here's a pro tip.

1021
01:24:45.239 --> 01:24:48.600
By the way, if you ever
do kill somebody, whatever clothes you're wearing,

1022
01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:54.840
you gotta get rid of them,
right, do we not? This

1023
01:24:54.920 --> 01:24:59.000
is like the same thing with people
that have like a trunk full of drugs

1024
01:24:59.039 --> 01:25:02.600
that are doing one hundred miles an
hour with no tail lights on ninety or

1025
01:25:03.479 --> 01:25:09.000
nine five. Excuse me, like
I'll never understand it. But yeah,

1026
01:25:09.119 --> 01:25:12.279
although golf clothes can get really expensive
depending on what brand they are, So

1027
01:25:12.920 --> 01:25:17.159
anyway, he's in jail. Now
he's awaiting and he's charged with manslaughter obviously,

1028
01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:23.920
but he's not going to have himself
a good day judging by the amount

1029
01:25:23.920 --> 01:25:27.399
of evidence they claim to have in
this story here. And as if one

1030
01:25:27.439 --> 01:25:33.800
Florida story wasn't good enough, check
this out. Florida National Cemetery has They've

1031
01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:41.600
had a few incidents this year already, and this, um, this is

1032
01:25:41.640 --> 01:25:45.760
a doozy. A deceased widow was
interred with the wrong husband at the Florida

1033
01:25:45.840 --> 01:25:50.760
National Cemetery. Salutes of twenty one
guns are common at the hallow grounds,

1034
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:55.399
where it has earned honor for veterans
and their spouses to be laid to rest.

1035
01:25:56.640 --> 01:26:00.000
However, going back in August of
last year, the remains of a

1036
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:06.279
woman who was cremated were mistakenly mixed
with the wrong veterans remains. They use

1037
01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:11.920
the term cremains. I've never liked
that word, and I think once you've

1038
01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:15.680
done that, you're all in right, there's you can't just you can't just

1039
01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:17.640
chop it in half and be like, all right, we'll try it again.

1040
01:26:17.760 --> 01:26:20.199
I mean, once they're mixed,
they're mixed. So that's a huge

1041
01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:26.680
screw up there. And now they've
done it again, this time with a

1042
01:26:27.159 --> 01:26:30.239
not a remains, but a casket, I should say, not a cremain's,

1043
01:26:30.279 --> 01:26:33.520
but a casket. Yeah. So
family goes looking and they said that

1044
01:26:33.560 --> 01:26:40.720
the woman's casket was found in a
crypt with the wrong late husband. How

1045
01:26:40.720 --> 01:26:45.520
does that work? Man? Aren't
you pretty specific when you bury somebody or

1046
01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:54.720
you're handling the remains of a loved
one, especially there's a military cemetery too,

1047
01:26:54.800 --> 01:27:00.840
So yeah, here we go.
According to the Press Secretary Terence Hayes,

1048
01:27:01.239 --> 01:27:11.640
the spouses had quote similar names.
Okay ah. The mistake discovered in

1049
01:27:11.720 --> 01:27:15.720
June. A Tampa Bay woman who
was almost eighty died with plans to in

1050
01:27:15.079 --> 01:27:18.079
place to be buried with her late
husband, but when his grave vault was

1051
01:27:18.159 --> 01:27:23.960
open, there was already a second
casket inside, at which point they figured

1052
01:27:23.960 --> 01:27:28.880
out, yeah, yeah, somebody
screwed up. And while the names are

1053
01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:31.800
similar, they're not exactly the same. If your ghost as account of cheating,

1054
01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:38.039
you know what. I have several
questions, and that is definitively one

1055
01:27:38.039 --> 01:27:41.479
of them. I don't know.
I don't know, but we'll find out

1056
01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:54.600
together. Next after the news Hang
on your Day Smarter one O six one

1057
01:27:54.680 --> 01:28:04.720
FM Talk and news Talk PTI more
with starts now, No, I wouldn't.

1058
01:28:04.800 --> 01:28:09.039
I would like to think that they
would be so happy to be reunited

1059
01:28:10.760 --> 01:28:15.680
that he would not the blame would
not fall on this individual since it was

1060
01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:19.800
wildly out of his control. So
and you know, frankly, this isn't

1061
01:28:19.800 --> 01:28:24.960
even the most egregious scandal at the
VA. So that's why I guess,

1062
01:28:25.680 --> 01:28:30.720
because this is a VA cemetery,
I guess maybe just possibly we can you

1063
01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:33.359
know, whatever happened with the other
stuff, it didn't seem to improve,

1064
01:28:33.399 --> 01:28:38.560
It just kind of went away.
That's so weird. So if you if

1065
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:42.159
you're just joining us, we'll do
better and join us earlier next time.

1066
01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:46.960
But secondly, down in Florida at
one of the veteran cemeteries down there,

1067
01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:56.119
they've had some booboos here lately,
they've had some whoopsies. And this was

1068
01:28:56.159 --> 01:28:59.760
a doozy. This is Bushnell,
Florida, where this is. And this

1069
01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:04.119
is the second incident in less than
a year where they've put the wrong person

1070
01:29:04.239 --> 01:29:09.800
with the other wrong person. Now
this one was a casket. Previously,

1071
01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:14.680
back in August of last year,
a woman had passed away and they went

1072
01:29:14.720 --> 01:29:18.600
to mix they were mixing her remains
she was cremated with her husband's remains,

1073
01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:23.720
except they didn't get her husband's remains, they got the wrong ones, so

1074
01:29:23.800 --> 01:29:28.359
now she's forever jumbled with somebody else. I don't know how you fix that.

1075
01:29:30.319 --> 01:29:34.800
This one was a little more fixable, albeit pretty weird. So a

1076
01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:40.800
woman died, her husband had passed
away before her, and they had a

1077
01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:44.760
plot there where or a crypt where
the two were to be buried. So

1078
01:29:44.840 --> 01:29:46.279
when she died, they opened up
the crypt to put her in there,

1079
01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:50.119
and there's already a second coffin and
there turns out it was another woman,

1080
01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:55.720
not his wife, who was married
to a guy that had a similar name

1081
01:29:55.800 --> 01:30:00.520
to her husband. So she has
since been put in there. But to

1082
01:30:00.640 --> 01:30:04.359
Ross's point, man, if you're
a ghost and your husband's been cheating on

1083
01:30:04.439 --> 01:30:11.720
you now with um this other ghost
chick, but it's not, it's not

1084
01:30:11.880 --> 01:30:15.279
it wasn't anything you did, or
do you really carry blame there? I

1085
01:30:15.279 --> 01:30:17.000
mean, it depends on the woman, right or the ghosts, because I've

1086
01:30:17.039 --> 01:30:20.319
I know, I've dated women in
the past where they'll have like a crazy

1087
01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:24.239
dream involving you and they wake up
pist off at you, like like you

1088
01:30:24.279 --> 01:30:28.840
actually did something, Like dude,
that wasn't me, that was your cheated

1089
01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:30.800
Yeah, so like I didn't do
that, but yeah, it depends on

1090
01:30:30.840 --> 01:30:35.159
your spouse, right, She's like, you cheated on me in my dream?

1091
01:30:35.199 --> 01:30:38.880
In my dream? Yeah, I
may, I would. I would

1092
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:43.960
just like to think that she's just
now they're reunited, so you don't worry

1093
01:30:43.960 --> 01:30:47.039
about any of that stuff. But
to your point, that isn't always the

1094
01:30:47.079 --> 01:30:50.600
case and logic doesn't have to come
into play on some of this stuff.

1095
01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:57.079
So, uh, what if the
dude, what if that guy? For

1096
01:30:57.279 --> 01:31:00.960
however long? How long did they
say that this had been there or do

1097
01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:08.119
they even they probably don't even know. Good lord? Um? Also when

1098
01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:12.119
now also the mix up the person
who was in there who was not supposed

1099
01:31:12.119 --> 01:31:15.039
to be in there? Um,
where were they supposed to be? What's

1100
01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:18.840
their spouse thinking? You know,
he's heard his wife died. He's waiting

1101
01:31:18.840 --> 01:31:21.880
for to show up and she doesn't
show. What thoughts are going through his

1102
01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:26.920
head? If he's no, no, no, no, no no,

1103
01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:30.840
no, not that guy, but
the guy of the woman who was accidentally

1104
01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:32.640
put in this guy's crypt You know, she was supposed to be buried with

1105
01:31:32.680 --> 01:31:36.960
her husband. So he gets word
that his wife finally died, he's waiting

1106
01:31:36.960 --> 01:31:41.520
for to show up, and she
never show us up. That's got to

1107
01:31:41.560 --> 01:31:45.439
be nerve racking as a ghost.
You're like, did did did she change

1108
01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:46.680
her mind? Did she not want
to be around me? What happened?

1109
01:31:46.680 --> 01:31:49.479
And in reality, it was just
to screw up on the part of the

1110
01:31:49.479 --> 01:31:55.359
employees. There three years three years
ago, there we go. So what

1111
01:31:55.439 --> 01:32:00.479
if this dude though, who got
the wrong life put in his crypt What

1112
01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:01.560
if he you know, I was
like, you know what, I kind

1113
01:32:01.560 --> 01:32:06.760
of like her more? And then
his original wife gets there and he's just

1114
01:32:08.039 --> 01:32:11.079
now now he's upset because he took
the other ghost away and now he's got

1115
01:32:11.079 --> 01:32:14.600
to put up with the woman that
he died early to get away from it.

1116
01:32:14.720 --> 01:32:16.880
This is so complicated. I don't
even know. I don't even we

1117
01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:20.720
you know, we need we need
a psychkick or something that can tap in

1118
01:32:20.760 --> 01:32:28.920
and tell us what the deceased the
deceased you're thinking about this because who knows.

1119
01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:31.199
Maybe he wants the new one to
stay and doesn't want the the original

1120
01:32:31.239 --> 01:32:35.279
one to come. And and maybe
the other guy whose wife was put in

1121
01:32:35.319 --> 01:32:40.079
with this dude whose wife never showed
up, maybe he's happy. I wonder

1122
01:32:40.119 --> 01:32:43.680
how often this sort of like mix
ups happened because my mom still as my

1123
01:32:43.760 --> 01:32:46.479
dad's remains in the house. And
I'm like, well, how do you

1124
01:32:46.560 --> 01:32:50.439
know? Or you have people that
have their pets, you know, we

1125
01:32:50.520 --> 01:32:54.600
have like a three of our pets
remains in the house, like the ashes,

1126
01:32:55.039 --> 01:32:57.600
because you can get the box of
the name and like the pawprint stuff.

1127
01:32:58.079 --> 01:33:00.720
You don't know, it could be
a scam. You could get a

1128
01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:04.239
made into furniture. Now what you
didn't know about this? No, there's

1129
01:33:04.279 --> 01:33:08.279
a dude. There's a guy.
I'm sure it's more than one guy,

1130
01:33:08.319 --> 01:33:12.159
but I remember seeing this guy at
a hunting and fishing show years ago,

1131
01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:15.279
right, so I'm in there,
you're why you know, it's mostly outfitters

1132
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:17.800
and products and stuff. And he's
got like a bunch of benches and stuff,

1133
01:33:17.840 --> 01:33:21.319
and on the bench is like a
dog's picture or horses picture, and

1134
01:33:21.359 --> 01:33:25.319
I'm like, oh, I gotta
see what this is. They take your

1135
01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:30.199
animals remains and then they put it
into the mix and then they make a

1136
01:33:30.199 --> 01:33:32.319
piece of furniture out of your pets
so you can sit in your garden on

1137
01:33:32.399 --> 01:33:38.119
your pet. It's not cheap.
And he I guess he was. They

1138
01:33:38.119 --> 01:33:42.840
were selling like Gangbusters, and then
it comes with a picture of your pet

1139
01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:46.720
kind of you know, I'm saying
grave but lacquered in there. So yeah,

1140
01:33:46.720 --> 01:33:48.840
a lot of the times when it
comes a stuff because we've had to

1141
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:54.199
put down in several animals rights,
it's always the absolute worst. And they

1142
01:33:54.279 --> 01:33:57.359
confront you with the piece of paper, well the options while you're sobbing and

1143
01:33:57.399 --> 01:34:00.800
you're a complete mess, And a
lot of times you just because you're like,

1144
01:34:00.600 --> 01:34:03.359
this is representative of the love I
had for my pet. Right,

1145
01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:05.920
you don't want to do the top
box because that's like, you know,

1146
01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:11.319
you throw them into like the communal
bind that's awful, So like the communal

1147
01:34:11.479 --> 01:34:14.920
Yeah, and you're sobbing because I
did that once accidentally and I checked the

1148
01:34:14.960 --> 01:34:16.760
top box because it wasn't thinking and
then I had to go back and look

1149
01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:18.439
at I'm like, oh, I
don't want that one. I want this

1150
01:34:18.479 --> 01:34:21.439
one. So you could just be
like a sobbing wreck and they're just like

1151
01:34:21.520 --> 01:34:24.760
which one do you want? Which? How much did you love your pet?

1152
01:34:24.800 --> 01:34:26.600
Do you want to do the cheap
one, the top box? And

1153
01:34:26.640 --> 01:34:29.800
do you want to do like the
two thousand dollar bottom box? And you

1154
01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:30.960
might just check it and then like
a week later, you get a chair

1155
01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:35.039
and you're like, what is this
chair? Yeah? I did what well,

1156
01:34:35.079 --> 01:34:36.920
but at least you have a chair
at that point, you know,

1157
01:34:38.439 --> 01:34:42.680
so you got that going for you, and you asked about human remains.

1158
01:34:42.880 --> 01:34:46.279
I would like to think that this
doesn't happen very much, but remember that

1159
01:34:46.359 --> 01:34:49.680
story we did out of Arizona last
year where they raided the place and it

1160
01:34:49.720 --> 01:34:55.039
had like buckets full of sports cars
and stuff. Most of the people whose

1161
01:34:55.279 --> 01:34:59.279
bodies ended up there thought their bodies
were being used differently, So it's not

1162
01:34:59.399 --> 01:35:03.399
quite app to apples, but they
never expected that there'd be a warehouse where

1163
01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:09.960
part pieces of their their loved one
or communal in the communal boxes you just

1164
01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:14.119
said. And in some cases,
I think some of those families thought their

1165
01:35:14.239 --> 01:35:17.079
loved ones were cremated, which is
what brought about some criminal charges. So,

1166
01:35:17.239 --> 01:35:23.199
yeah, you've never seen the bench
to make a make a piece of

1167
01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:26.119
you mentioned how it is. It
does sound more familiar. When you first

1168
01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:27.800
said it, I was like,
what are you talking about? But yeah,

1169
01:35:27.840 --> 01:35:30.640
now I think I remember something like
that. I remember talking to the

1170
01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:33.920
dude and I'm like, and you
could tell that he puts up with people

1171
01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:36.479
like me a lot when he's doing
those trade shows, like, I'm sorry,

1172
01:35:36.479 --> 01:35:40.880
you do the what now? But
then he was showing me how much

1173
01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:43.279
they cost and I asked him and
he's like, there's a waiting list.

1174
01:35:43.399 --> 01:35:45.279
I'm like, you know what,
sir, Kudos to you, man.

1175
01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:49.159
That's a little more of bid that
you know, because the only other guy

1176
01:35:49.159 --> 01:35:55.199
I know who makes furniture out of
deceased things, um was like ed gean.

1177
01:35:55.439 --> 01:36:00.560
So you found a way to do
it and not end up on the

1178
01:36:00.560 --> 01:36:04.600
FBI's radar. So more powered to
you, all right. Jeff Marr from

1179
01:36:04.600 --> 01:36:09.119
the Weather Channel, he's here.
He has no furniture made of remains,

1180
01:36:09.520 --> 01:36:12.680
just weather for you. What's up, my man? Yeah, hot and

1181
01:36:12.760 --> 01:36:15.079
human out there today. Unfortunately,
front's going to bring in some strong storms

1182
01:36:15.079 --> 01:36:17.760
tonight. Then we'll start to cool
slightly behind that fund into the middle part

1183
01:36:17.800 --> 01:36:20.960
of the week. But today a
different story. Head advisory starts at eleven

1184
01:36:21.000 --> 01:36:25.359
this morning, it lasts until seven
this evening. The reason the high temperature

1185
01:36:25.399 --> 01:36:29.920
today all the way up to ninety
five degrees actually maybe even closer to ninety

1186
01:36:29.920 --> 01:36:30.840
six by the time we had in
the middle of the afternoon. But that

1187
01:36:30.880 --> 01:36:33.720
heat index is the real story between
one hundred and one oh five when you

1188
01:36:33.720 --> 01:36:38.119
factor in the humidity under some sunshine, then as a front gets closer tonight,

1189
01:36:38.119 --> 01:36:40.520
showers and storms move in. Some
of the storms may turn severe and

1190
01:36:40.520 --> 01:36:43.960
produce damaging wednes during the evening overnight, a clearing trend a low seventy four,

1191
01:36:43.960 --> 01:36:46.000
and then sunshine tomorrow and Wednesday highs
each day in the low nineties.

1192
01:36:46.479 --> 01:36:49.760
All right, thank you, sir, appreciated you with us tomorrow or what's

1193
01:36:49.840 --> 01:36:53.960

tomorrow. Okay, all right, we'll

1194
01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:57.119
chat with him and you have a
good rest of your day. Thank you.

1195
01:36:57.560 --> 01:37:00.760
All right, and we will chat

1196
01:37:00.840 --> 01:37:14.560
News. Hang on keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in

1197
01:37:14.640 --> 01:37:18.920

FM talk in the triangle. All right,

1198
01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:23.239
good morning, and he is eight
fifty you're Bloomberg Up. They now

1199
01:37:23.239 --> 01:37:26.880
with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's
happening? Well, good morning. Casey.

1200
01:37:27.000 --> 01:37:30.880
Wall Street ended last week with a
losing session, but the futures are

1201
01:37:30.880 --> 01:37:33.319
looking good this morning. Now.
Futures are up one hundred and six points.

1202
01:37:33.640 --> 01:37:40.359
Negotiators for the Hollywood studios and Representatives
of the striking screenwriters met on Friday,

1203
01:37:40.439 --> 01:37:44.479
and no progress was made, not
even on an agreement on how to

1204
01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:48.439
resume formal contract talks. The writer's
strike is entering its fourth month that appears

1205
01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:53.439
to be on its way to becoming
the longest writers walk out in Hollywood history.

1206
01:37:53.880 --> 01:37:58.840
Neither side has indicated much interest and
compromise. The Barbie movie from Warner

1207
01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:02.479
Brothers was the box office leader for
a third straight weekend. comScore says domestic

1208
01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:06.920
ticket sales total fifty three million dollars. Barbie has now taken in more than

1209
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:12.800
one billion dollars globally for its first
seventeen days. And theaters. The shark

1210
01:38:12.840 --> 01:38:16.920
thriller Meg two The Trench debuted in
second place with ticket sales of thirty million

1211
01:38:16.920 --> 01:38:21.279
dollars. The trucking company Yellow,
which shut down last month, has filed

1212
01:38:21.279 --> 01:38:27.560
for bankruptcy. Yellow indicated it will
remain closed. This filing will give Yellow

1213
01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:31.239
some breathing room from its creditors as
it winds down its business and prepares to

1214
01:38:31.279 --> 01:38:36.000
sell off assets. Work came this
morning that Campbell Soup is buying SVOs brands

1215
01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:41.680
for twenty three dollars a share.
That's about two point seven billion dollars total

1216
01:38:41.760 --> 01:38:46.439
value. Savo sells frozen entrees and
pizza, yogurt, pasta, and sauces

1217
01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:53.079
under the Rayos, Michelangelo's and Noosa
brand names. A Federal Reserve officials as

1218
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:57.039
central bankers, may not be able
to hold interest rates at current levels and

1219
01:38:57.199 --> 01:39:01.199
get inflation back down to an acceptable
level. FED Governor Michelle Bowman spoke at

1220
01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:05.640
a meeting of the Kansas Bankers Association
over the weekend. She said more rate

1221
01:39:05.680 --> 01:39:11.920
increases will likely be needed, and
Casey, the annual rollout of pumpkin spice

1222
01:39:11.960 --> 01:39:15.279
treats is a sure sign there is
light at the end of the long hot

1223
01:39:15.319 --> 01:39:20.840
summer tunnel. Excuse me. Seventy
eleven brought back its pumpkin spice lattes last

1224
01:39:20.880 --> 01:39:27.199
week. Chrispy Kreme seasonal donuts and
drinks are in store today. Duncan's going

1225
01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:31.000
to release its lineup of pumpkin treats
a week from Wednesday, and Starbucks stores

1226
01:39:31.079 --> 01:39:36.079
begin serving pumpkin flavored items on August
twenty fourth. Casey, it's going to

1227
01:39:36.119 --> 01:39:40.439
be hotter today than they serve it
if you buy it, So no,

1228
01:39:42.359 --> 01:39:45.800
just what we needed in the inevitability
too, is the beer taps are going

1229
01:39:45.840 --> 01:39:49.600
to get ruined too, oh really, because perfectly good space for actual beer,

1230
01:39:49.720 --> 01:39:54.279
and before you know, there's gonna
be pumpkin spice beer, Christmas spice,

1231
01:39:54.720 --> 01:39:57.600
all that crap, chewing up two
three of the taps that could have

1232
01:39:57.640 --> 01:40:01.119
a nice dark Belgian on there or
something. I'm not a huge pumpkin spice

1233
01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:04.279
fan. It just I just like
that. It signifies there's a little light

1234
01:40:04.319 --> 01:40:08.880
at the end of the tunnel and
the stuff comes out. Yeah, well,

1235
01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:12.319
all right, we'll talk tomorrow,
sir. Have it go one.

1236
01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:14.800
Okay, okay, sounds good,
casey, you take care, all right,

1237
01:40:14.840 --> 01:40:17.359
there you go. Uh Jeff Bellinger
Bloomberg, Sorry, I was I

1238
01:40:17.399 --> 01:40:21.520
was trying to get the price on
these these cree You cremate your pet and

1239
01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:24.960
then they'll build furniture out of it. I'm telling you, I wonder how

1240
01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:28.239
often that happens, because I've been
in that situation where you're I don't think

1241
01:40:28.239 --> 01:40:31.960
you're in the vets office and they're
doing it right by the bet, I

1242
01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:34.680
hope not, because you're sitting there
and you can't comprehend what you're getting.

1243
01:40:34.760 --> 01:40:38.399
You're seeing the price tag and you're
like associating that with how much do I

1244
01:40:38.439 --> 01:40:40.600
love my pet? And you're like
zero, one hundred and five hundred,

1245
01:40:40.600 --> 01:40:43.560
I'll go to two thousand option and
then like two weeks later you're like,

1246
01:40:43.680 --> 01:40:45.680
what why is this foot on on
my porch? And they're like that's skippy

1247
01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:49.920
and you're like what, oh dude, you out of skippy. Look it's

1248
01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:55.600
all so you'd go foot one.
I don't know if you know what the

1249
01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:59.880
options are, well, Uh,
generally it's going to be outdoor furniture.

1250
01:41:00.279 --> 01:41:02.199
Uh from what I've seen, I
guess maybe you could get something indoor.

1251
01:41:03.279 --> 01:41:08.920
A lot of benches, there's some
chairs. Uh, there's a whole table

1252
01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:13.680
set that somebody had done with a
horse, because why not. But a

1253
01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:15.319
lot of them don't have. So
I was able to find some prices because

1254
01:41:15.319 --> 01:41:20.720
you're probably wondering. And by the
way, it was a creepy search because

1255
01:41:20.920 --> 01:41:27.479
one when the first where I actually
could see a price was on Wayfair and

1256
01:41:27.640 --> 01:41:30.840
that's kids, right, that's code, that's not an actual Yeah, that

1257
01:41:30.920 --> 01:41:35.720
that was that's so you don't order
that. You probably get traffic children if

1258
01:41:35.760 --> 01:41:41.920
you believe in the conspiracy. But
um, then there was one being resold

1259
01:41:43.640 --> 01:41:54.840
on Facebook marketplace. You're reselling your
cremated pets, a bench made of your

1260
01:41:54.880 --> 01:42:00.159
cremated I mean, it's tough financial
times. This binomics right there. You

1261
01:42:00.199 --> 01:42:02.399
have to sell Skippy your food,
ton I've to make more, you know,

1262
01:42:02.479 --> 01:42:05.840
make to pay for gas or whatever. I'm going to assume that that

1263
01:42:05.920 --> 01:42:10.680
the it's either a joke or the
person selling it is not the person who

1264
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:14.720
had a commission. And maybe yeah, maybe it was a grandparent or so.

1265
01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:18.079
I don't know, man, but
that's just if you had benches made

1266
01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:23.840
of your pets, and then you
go sell the bench, which, by

1267
01:42:23.880 --> 01:42:27.880
the way, the cheapest one I
could find was three hundred and fifty dollars.

1268
01:42:28.439 --> 01:42:30.680
And that's not even a full bench. That's like a little nothing.

1269
01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:41.119
So the margin on this thing's got
to be insane. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1270
01:42:41.239 --> 01:42:45.239
so three hundred and fifty dollars.
But that's just the that's just the

1271
01:42:45.359 --> 01:42:48.600
base model. Some of these get
crazy. But a lot of the sites

1272
01:42:48.640 --> 01:42:53.439
don't advertise the price. You gotta
click what you're looking for and they'll get

1273
01:42:53.439 --> 01:42:58.279
back to you. So you know
it's going to be expensive. Then and

1274
01:42:58.479 --> 01:43:03.479
oh boy, this one and this
one's five thousand dollars. Oh but see

1275
01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:09.000
ross this one has it's a bench. It is a bench, but it

1276
01:43:09.039 --> 01:43:13.000
has the top comes off and then
it has cremation spots for you to put

1277
01:43:13.039 --> 01:43:15.840
all of your pets remains in little
slots, so you could get you could

1278
01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:21.039
get the whole pet family in there. Plus it's said a nice granite bench.

1279
01:43:21.159 --> 01:43:27.640
So dude, that is just so
creepy. So best I can tell,

1280
01:43:27.840 --> 01:43:30.279
it's if you want a nice one, you're gonna pay about fifteen hundred

1281
01:43:30.279 --> 01:43:35.640
dollars. That's crazy? Man?
Can you do it with humans? Because

1282
01:43:35.720 --> 01:43:39.960
what you can compost people in a
few states? Now, why can't I

1283
01:43:40.000 --> 01:43:45.840
make a bench shout of somebody?
I have so many questions, like who

1284
01:43:45.880 --> 01:43:48.880
the hell would do this? But
I remember talking to that dude and he's

1285
01:43:48.920 --> 01:43:51.359
like, I just I just sit
around, just print money all day.

1286
01:43:54.079 --> 01:43:58.600
People go crazy for their pets.
You ever seen a pet taxidermied? You've

1287
01:43:58.760 --> 01:44:02.880
laid eyes on that horse? I
have not in anyone's house. I was

1288
01:44:03.039 --> 01:44:08.720
at a in Wyoming. I was
at a buddy of mine who is a

1289
01:44:08.720 --> 01:44:14.640
taxidermist, who was he passed away, but um and he was. He

1290
01:44:14.720 --> 01:44:17.439
was. I had two shed horns
that I wanted connected, so he were

1291
01:44:17.720 --> 01:44:21.319
putting that together for amount and he
had a cat there, and I'm like,

1292
01:44:21.439 --> 01:44:26.079
dude, dude, did you taxidermy
cat? It's like that is somebody

1293
01:44:26.119 --> 01:44:32.880
contracted that, and I'm like,
okay, what does that cost? He

1294
01:44:32.920 --> 01:44:36.199
wouldn't tell me, or maybe he
did tell me and I forgot. But

1295
01:44:36.439 --> 01:44:44.600
the thing was and the cat looked
surprised in the in the taxidermy. You

1296
01:44:44.600 --> 01:44:47.520
don't want that? What's that if
you if you signed up for that,

1297
01:44:47.600 --> 01:44:51.439
it came back surprised when you be
upset. It had the cat in like

1298
01:44:51.560 --> 01:44:58.520
this playful motion where it was up
on its hind legs. But surprise wouldn't

1299
01:44:58.560 --> 01:45:01.239
be the look that I'd have gone
for. I mean, let's face it,

1300
01:45:01.239 --> 01:45:04.279
if you want to capture the essence
of a cat plotting your murder is

1301
01:45:04.319 --> 01:45:08.560
the look you want. There's different
levels of surprise. There's wow, it's

1302
01:45:08.600 --> 01:45:11.199
a ball of yarn, and it's
and there's wow, what are you doing

1303
01:45:11.199 --> 01:45:13.840
to my body? You know what
I mean? Or what's that noise?

1304
01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:17.279
Sounds like a truck? Oh yeah, no it was. It was ball

1305
01:45:17.319 --> 01:45:21.680
of yarn. Surprised, I think, But still there was no ball of

1306
01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:24.960
yarn there, So I guess you
could put whatever you want in its little

1307
01:45:25.000 --> 01:45:29.119
pause and tell a story all right, Well on that creepy note, there

1308
01:45:29.119 --> 01:45:31.239
you go. Now you got ideas
for what to do with your pets after

1309
01:45:31.279 --> 01:45:34.600
they pass, You're welcome. We'll
see you back here tomorrow.
