You know, one of the things that they will sit there and tell you
about doing morning drive, especially on a Monday. They're like, you know
what, you gotta be the energy that people don't have and let them know
it's gonna be a great week and all that. But it's Monday and that
sucks. So but you know, we're gonna suffer together. So I think
that's the act of solidarity they're really driving out. So we appreciate you joining
us on this, uh this fine morning. I didn't do a bunch over
the weekend. I gotta be honest with you. Although I did watch Finally
because I pre ordered it just so I had all of them and it got
delivered, and then I got busy and I never got around to watching it.
And you probably on Friday if you listen to the show Friday, I
was telling you I didn't feel real well, so laid low over the weekend,
made one trip to Walmart. Ah. That's the whole thing, U
I s they're always a crazy person at like first thing in the morning on
a Saturday. I like early Saturday mornings because I can't force myself, even
if I'm not feeling well, to sleep that late. Even if I go
out and be obnoxious on a Friday, it's just it's just part of the
part of the gig. So I'll generally be like, that's what I'm going
to. The store could be Walmart, could be the grocery, it doesn't
matter. And yet when it should be like late night, full moon,
somebody a little hammered from the bar, remember, and they need something.
No, there's some dude in there just screaming, not at anyone per se,
but just screaming. And you can't understand what he's screaming about. I
mean, perhaps there's some frustration with you know, he needs help, and
that's easier than the intercom or finding somebody I don't know. And of course
he's not screaming in the aisle I don't want to go in. He's screaming
in the aisle that I need to go in. So I'm like, all
right, there's a screaming dude there. I'm gonna go back and do the
rest of my stuff, and then at the end I'll come back and get
literally one of the handful of things I actually went in there for. Well,
ross, what do you think happened? I forgot instead of just going
in there and dealing with screaming dude. If first I I you know,
I'm like, I don't want to deal with this. I'll wait, I'll
go back, and then it's, you know, Saturday morning. I'm still
not feeling well. I got all my other stuff and then completely spaced the
thing. I went one of the things I went in there for, which
was more toothpaste. I am right on the cusp, but I did.
I have my little travel one too, so I will I will brave that
again, probably today. But yeah, just random screaming dude. Um,
I've not been to the Walmart up in Wake Forest. Do you get random
screaming dudes up there? Or I don't think I've been inside that way that
Walmart since before COVID. Now, I actually it's it's on it's on what
the west side of Highway one right there, right? That is correct?
Yes? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what. I think I
actually did go in there once because they had parking in that lot adjacent the
healthcare lot for them for the golf tournament up there one year, and I
think I ran in there for something, But I think I don't know that
I traversed the store. So, but you've been in a Walmart where there's
crazy people. That's why there's people at Walmart. I mean, that's why
it's Walmart. The best part about Walmart, in my opinion last time was
there is they have their own DJ in their own radio stations. Have you
ever heard it? I mean I'm sure I've heard it, but not heard
it if you know what I mean. It broadcasts like their radio stations broadcast
to like when you're inside, only to their Walmarts. And I was just
like thinking about, like if you had that gig, right, because there's
like no ratings pressure, it's got to be depressing. Like you obviously you
can't take phone calls. But they have like their Morning Walmart or like all
day Walmart radio team there, Like that's their job ever paid. And I
was thinking of like all the fun things I could do if I had that
job, right, Like, if if that was my gig, they'd be
like, oh, there's one hundred dollars gift card in a watermelon and produce
hammers. You know what it means. It's exactly it. You think you
know the thing that well, though I haven't heard it in a couple of
years. Remember how every year we used to get the email ahead of April
fools, and they're like, don't do the Toyota thing or don't you know,
cause a panic or a riot, right, don't do that right,
So I would assume Walmart's gonna be much more on edge about you doing that.
Like, yeah, if you're wearing a yellow blouse to get a free
TV, just go take it, walk out with it. It'll be cool.
So much fun you's gonna have. You can fake phone calls, you
know. We're like we're going to line too, and it's like, I'm
crazy, I'm making math in the bathroom area. I'm trapped. I'm trapped
into changing room. Help I poop myself? You know the stuff you could
You can have so much fun. You could be like our special guests,
the woman who sees lizard people. Right, you said here right now,
just to see who walks out of the store to right. We now go
to the guy vaping in the Delhi aisle. You know what I mean,
Like, he's so much fun. It's the potential. But I'm just saying,
like, there's super about ten minutes. Right, they have their own
jingle package. You think it's my card, dude, I don't. I
don't know if it's like, uh, what is the real world or whatever
they called it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you're walking through
you're here in the Walmart jingles. I don't know, if you know.
There's a few there's a few radio gigs that have always fascinated me. And
I remember over the years when I've looked at like postings on stuff, um,
you know, especially like earlier on in my career where I'm like,
ah, I need my big break, right. I remember looking there's a
couple jobs that were like they would always end up being open again, and
I'm like, it must suck to work there. There was, um,
what was the one? There's like, you know, there's spoken there's English
spoken word stations in other countries where we have. I always used to see
the openings in the Cayman Islands, Cayman Islands, and I was actually open,
like, yeah, I was offered the gig in the Cayman Islands.
Were you really Yeah it was yeah, And I turned it down because it
was just it was weird. You've never been of the Cayman I never,
right, you know, I'm not leaving the country either, So Cayman Islands
is I mean, I look, obviously it's not America, but it kind
of is because that's where a lot of our money is to catchman drift and
there's and it's it's just inundated with American tourists. Cayman's beautiful, but it's
very small, and they have a lot of weird laws there. I'm not
sure what all of them are, and it's expensive. So I kind of
got that that was the impression on some of these international gigs that I would
see open from time to time. I'm like, some guy got there and
hated it. But Cayman Islands, I mean, at least it's close enough
to the US, it's easy to bug back and forth, and you're constantly
inundated with cruise passengers. If you ever go to the Cayman Islands and you
got the time, grab a cab or something, go all the way around,
which isn't that far because again it's tiny to rum point and get away
from all the tourists. I mean, there's still tourists there, but then
it actually feels like you're in the Caribbean. Versus is when you're in the
main area where the cruise ships drop off. We have all the hotels on
the West side. People want to go pet sting rays for whatever reason.
It's it's like you're on a cruise ship the whole time. I can't get
away from it. I'm guessing working at a location like that is sort of
like when you go on vacation somewhere and you're like, oh, be awesome
to live here, but then like you actually look at the people that live
there, like say like working at the places, and you're like, they
look absolutely miserable. Well, working somewhere and visiting right on vacation is completely
different. Cayman's a special animal though, in just in how small an insular
it is, and really it's it's it's tourism and money. I mean,
that's it. That's Cayman Islands in a nutshell. Right. There's very good
diving, I guess if you're into that, but you know you're not doing
that every day, so yeah, yeah, at least in that sense.
See, you didn't take it. Was it music? I mean it was
it like a no. Now that I'm remembering him. I had a buddy,
um, what's his name, Jay? He got offered the morning job
there and he wanted me to do more mornings with him in the Cayman Islands.
This is probably like over ten years ago. I think Jit's up in
Rochester now or something to see. And this The other thing about Cayman is
unless you're rich, you're poor, you know what I mean, that's my
point. Yeah, and I'm guessing that's how it is. Like it's different.
You're like, oh, it's gonna be great to live here, live
in the dream. But if you're not, if you don't have vacation money
while you're there, right, completely different. If you're when you drive the
Loop Road there, like I just told people, hey, you know,
instead of going up by the hotels, which is amazing, but you drive
the Loop Road, it's along the south and then curves back up to the
other side of the Bay. I mean it's nothing but twenty twenty five million
dollar mansions. I mean it's just crazy. And then you know all the
high high end hotel places for people I guess to come and stare at their
money or whatever. So if you're not in, if you're not making that
kind of jack, then you're basically you're poor. It's a there's not a
middle class per se. So I'm sure I'm sure there's somebody's gonna call and
correct me. But it's not visible like everyone is. Either they're toiling away
endlessly or relaxing. And that's where they're yachts registered, which is another reason
you see anytime you see rot yacht registered. Georgetown there you go, all
right, Georgetown, Cayman, about three other places they have they're they're there
for the ultra wealthy, which is fine, but now I can't imagine living
there, but visiting is nice. So got that going for you? All
right, six seventeen, it's Monday, so we can dream about Caribbean vacations.
So we forget that. We have, you know, the whole week
to grind forward. And what a week it's going to be. This Devin
Archer insanity. We have to cover that. He's set to testify today.
Meanwhile, the DJ is sending him letters going, hey, you know what
bribe put you in jail, which doesn't sound like witness intimidation at all.
They just, you know, they just remembered or something. I don't know,
maybe what money you probably wanted by the DJ. You'll get a letter
at some point just random. Just happens to be a coincidence that he's testifying
before the committee. So read nothing into that, and CNN actually interrupted,
Oh yes, Boston, Paul, we got the Cardi b story. Don't
worry because I didn't want to have it. But I was wondering why Milli
Vanilli was trending on Twitter. Although now, Ross, did your app change?
My app changed? So now it's the X app. Uh yeah,
it's even it's updated on my like my home screen on my phone. I
had to go there and update the app, but now it's the X on
instead of the old Twitter logo. It did it? It must have auto
updated, because yesterday I'm sitting around, I'm getting notifications on my phone and
I don't recognize the logo because if you don't like flip the phone so it
sees your face, you can't see what it is. You can just see
the logo and what is Yeah, I updated what that is? I updated
before the automatic updated. But it's really confusing now because like it's still where
it used to be on my phone. I'll go, I'm gonna open up
Twitter and I look at my phone and I'm like, I can't find it,
And it takes me like an extra second to be like, oh,
it's X. You're looking in the blue right for the blue. Yeah yeah,
yeah. So now we saw the Cardi b stories, so don't worry.
We'll get to that Boston Paul. Oh he just distracted me. Well,
let me do this. We were babbling about Cayman Island. So it
is six nineteen case O Day Radio program back in just a few one oh
six one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two stations driving the
best in talk. This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All
right, good morning, it is six twenty four here on your Monday morning,
last day, Oh July, time's flying. Man, damn your football
season, which is why now you got to sit there and watch as your
team goes to training camp to make sure one of your big stars doesn't drip
over his own feet and ruin your whole season. Who who will have?
They cart it off? They cart it off. The number one receiver from
the Dolphins, Joe Burrow, had an issue, although it looks like he's
gonna be fine. So yeah, that's it. That's the stuff that terrifies
me ever since watching Teddy Bridgewater, although he never really became our Quarterback's pretty
pumped and then like he heard himself so bad tripping over his own feet taking
a snap that they literally were talking about amputating one of his legs. Was
I'm pretty sure, probably probably doesn't get you back in the NFL. So
so a little nail biter there, but pretty pretty soon you'll be sitting down
that first preseason game all excited and then about ten minutes and go, oh
crap, this is a preseason game. This is stupid. And then you'll
have to grind out three more weeks after that. But then it'll be there.
So well as we draw nearer, I'm sure have more news surrounding that.
Also, it looks like the Biden administration is going to go on and
do their own thing on the student loan stuff. There is a much larger
issue here. I've said it before, but I feel like since the stories
out there, we're gonna have to reiterate it this morning. This is everything
Democrats like to accuse Republicans of, but arguably much more aggressive and in your
face. And it doesn't get the coverage. And that is, you know,
siphoning money to your cronies. Now, don't get me wrong, it's
it's it runs the political gamut, but seemingly one side gets criticized one doesn't.
Right. We just had a whole series of news stories over donations by
companies that want to have casinos in North Carolina, right, And they were
like, oh, they made nations to these lawmakers. And I'm like,
yeah, yeah, that's a system that currently exists. And I'm with you
in how how much more effective it is when you have a big old pile
of pack money than Joe blow calling a member of Congress. That being said,
they were trying to make it sound like it was some unusual thing,
and it just wasn't. This thing with student loans, going back to what
they did under the Obama administration, it has a ton of ripple effects and
it's all about enriching higher ed and specifically a huge, huge support base for
Democrats. And that's not just in turning out votes, donations self identified party
affiliation which is in the ninetieth percentile at some universities, but also doing their
work. Man, you're there, pump at you're there as propagandists, pumping
that message every single day, to the point where they just had a student
at Southern Illinois University who ended up filing a lawsuit after the university said that
they received complaints with her conservative views, and they basically put no contact orders
on her, no hearing. They didn't even tell her why. Over some
students who said that they were offended, well they just had to pay that
young bump, and some professors are going to be undergoing some counseling, if
you will. So that's how in depth it is. That's why this story
is important. That's why we will get to it among many others coming up.
This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and there's talking
nine four five WPTI in the Triad. All right, good morning, six
thirty four thirty five nown KCO Gay radio program selling Rossoft. I was just
I was texting a buddy of mine. Well, I haven't seen in six
months. So he is h ex military x UM special Forces guy actually um
and as a civilian now and um Uh told him I wouldn't get into fully
who he works for all that good stuff I ever talked about on the radio.
UM. Basically he yeah, it does security contracting stuff okay, and
um some of the stuff he was doing. Uh, he was actually in
China for stuff and I was he said, it's really weird going to China.
Being an American, especially when with um it's military, military tats and
all that stuff. So but I mean his company works over there, so
I don't I don't know. But UM, I bring this up because I
was reading this rather lengthy story over the weekend where China basically like there's some
serious malware concerns with China on on various pieces of infrastructure, none of a
top secret, but military based infrastructure. And the thought process is it's kind
of sitting there and could be utilized should China decide, Hey, you know
what, We're gonna solve this Taiwan thing now to inhibit the military's ability to
intervene in certain ways. Right, I don't know the military. You know,
the entire Pacific Fleet's going to come streaming in there. But ultimately there
are you know, there's a lot of a lot of equipment, a lot
of various surveillance stuff, all kinds of stuff where we can provide aide to
Taiwan. Some of it aid that we are under agreement that we would provide
more so than just the weapons. And I don't know, man, if
we're getting a little bit of it, I suspect it's probably a lot worse
or it's a psyop to let China think we got it in there. But
to be fair, we let them fly their surveillance balloons across the entirety of
the country, so why should they give a crap? But anyway, yeah,
yeah, that was rather interesting over the weekend. Like I said,
they said, well, it's nothing top secret, but I think Microsoft is
the one that figured this out here a few months ago, so they've been
kind of scrambling since then. But we shall see. All right, let
me get back to this higher ed thing. So obviously the Supreme Court came
in and said, no, now, you can't just do that because once
this goes back to the Obama administration, and under the Obama administration, they
made all of the city and equity arguments that they needed to nationalize the student
loan system, previous banks to do it, and then they went, ah,
well, the banks aren't doing a good job, and they're being discriminatory
by you know, looking at things like credit reports and stuff, and which
in reality, when it comes to student loans, was much less important the
thing they should have been looking at, and I think banks would have had
it finally vaulted into where we are. Although since you can't bankruptcy out student
loans. Maybe maybe they would have just kept going with it. Is the
same thing they look at when you go in for a loan for a home
or an automobile or a line of credit or whatever. It is a lot
of credits more on your credit, but they look at tangible assets that would
be part of securing this loan. Right, So, if you went in
and you wanted a used nineteen ninety two Chevelle or whatever, I probably didn't
make one then, but you know, I'll you want some car that's maybe
floating around at a few thousand bucks, and you wanted to draw twenty thousand
against it. If if your credit was such where they were really looking at
the value of what you were borrowing versus what the actual tangible item was,
they probably wouldn't loan it, you know why, because it wouldn't make any
sense. They wouldn't be able to cover themselves. However, when they're sitting
there and they're giving out loans for people in stem and in the same breath,
happily giving loans for people in various majors where there is a lot less
likelihood one that you're going to be employed, even within that, but two
that you're going to make any decent money anytime soon, and your loan amount
is far in excess because you went through and you were, you know,
five years on your main and then maybe you did a master's program and all
that, and now you're a hundred you know, you're six figures into debt.
I never understood why banks didn't go, no, we're not going to
loan for that. And it was a bit of a self correcting issue when
the administered, the Obama administration took it over. It created this scenario where
those even the thought of any actuarial work wasn't in there, they were happy
to and it caused a rampant increase in colleges going well, we don't really
have to check ourselves, and some of these increases right because now the banks
are ball kat at us. So yeah, what you saw is you saw
a lot more money being charged for universities, a lot more. It far
exceeded the rate of inflation. And that's because the government was going to do
it. And if the government's going to do it, and it's under the
democratic administration, there in a way, now you're allowing your buddies to charge
as much as they want for their product, you're still allowing it to be
paid for. It's a little bit of a little bit of the you know,
given back to those who support you, in my humble opinion, in
the same way that the Republicans now are all about Medicaid expansion so they can
get something that you've never heard of is their acquiesce. And in reality both
of them benefit the hospital lobby, which is all up in their fundraising.
Just call it for what it is. And now it's created this scenario where
the Biden administration, this is the next part of it, because they hold
the loans. When they say they're going to start forgiving some of this stuff
or slow rolling payment plans. You and I are the We're the debt holders
here, right, We're the ones holding onto this stuff. And in reality,
what they've provided or suggested, which is called save saving on a valuable
education. The plan was finalized after the Supreme Court struck down the student debt
forgiveness initiative is basically going to have the same price tag. So the website
for its new income driven student loan Repayment plan launched yesterday, allowing borrowers borrowers
to begin submitting applications for the program. So here's how it works. Your
repayment rate is going to be based on your income. I don't know of
any other loans that work like this, but okay, here's the issue though.
The process, which by the way, for the person applying takes ten
minutes and then they say it'll be a few weeks before you know. But
it's government, so I would add a little more time. Will create a
repay revised pay as you earn income repayment plan that'll be automatically switched once you're
accepted into this. So whatever your payment plan is, it'll be switched to
this and based on your income. That's so much you'll pay. In fact,
there's a bunch of borrowers you will pay zero. You want to qualify
for zero dollar payments, you need to at maximum make two hundred and twenty
five percent of the federal poverty guidelines. That's thirty about thirty three thousand for
a single borrower, or sixty eight thousand for a family of four. That's
a lot of people, and of course that's not going to be most of
the people. Most of the folks will that's going to be about a million.
But the majority will see a reduced rate on what their current term is,
thus stretching it out. The total plan estimated to cost at they say
most three hundred and sixty one billion, so I would always add to that
in comparison, is slightly less than the four hundred billion that was said to
be the cost of Biden's student loan forgiveness program. Also, unpaid interest will
not accrue if a barrower makes their full monthly payment, which in the world
of loans, that's a big deal. Man, that's a big deal.
You know, if you start talking about minimum payments as it pertains to credit
cards, that interest is still calculating, man, not here. But again,
the total cost, even as people will have to pay at least a
portion of it, is now going to be very similar because they're creating this
government entity to what it would have cost to just let Biden do it.
I don't know if this is some sort of punishment or what. And again,
it's a government beta site, so as people flock to it, I'm
sure starting today, I don't even know what shape it's in, but good
luck after the Obamacare website. Also, eight hundred four thousand borrowers are set
to have their students that wiped away. That's going to cost about thirty nine
billion. Yeah, so they're gonna go ahead and try to do it this
way. I'm sure some lawsuits will come out, but ultimately it's going to
come down to whatever your income is, which is a very interesting test right
now because of the amount of people, especially as we saw on the tail
end of COVID that simply weren't returning to the workforce. But also do the
math, right, at some point there's going to be a break even.
I don't know what it is without looking at the charts and really sitting down
with it. But if if you make thirty two thousand, well, let's
see what it is here. This is just one of the lowest division points.
Let's say you make thirty two thousand and five hundred a year, and
in some parts of the country, I mean, that's not you. You're
not killing it, but you're not starving. Thirty two thousand in New York
is probably untenable. But you get the gist and your boss wants to give
you a raise, or there's a job out there maybe in your field that
gets you a five. You know, let's say four thousand dollars raise,
Well, now you're having to pay twenty five percent of whatever your loans are.
Whatever it is. Maybe the math doesn't work out, so maybe it
disincentivizes people. I you know what that looks like. This is one of
those things that I think as it plays out, if it's allowed to go
forward, you'll start seeing those divisions. But it's just kind of an end
around on what the Supreme Court did. But the reality is they're going to
argue, well, it doesn't actually it's not exactly a spending item, which
the argument was the Biden administration was essentially wanting to do a spending item because
they were eliminating four hundred billion dollars of government revenue. They're gonna say,
well, no, no, no, they still owe it, but there's
just not interest ruined and they don't make enough, so they're just not paying
it. But they still owe it. So we're not giving it away.
We're just letting him have more time, even if that time is infinity if
they never rise above two twenty five percent of the threshold, the poverty threshold,
which again is thirty two eight. So do the math on that,
but yeah, that's a little sudden. They kind of weaseled in over the
weekend. I thought she might be interested in. All right, six forty
seven case O Day Radio program. We'll have to figure out what a Trump
supporter may have said. I don't know. Some guy's getting interviewed and people
think he's calling for people to be killed or jailed, which is kind of
a big difference, right, if you want somebody jailed or if you want
somebody killed, those are two different things. But of course media is going
to media, so have to weigh in on that. We'll play the audio
for you coming up here on the case O Day Radio program. So you're
a smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk five wu PTI More
with Casey starts now. So after going and watching screaming dude at Walmart in
the men's hygienisle, which by the way, he didn't look like a dude
who was buying a lot of products there, so it was not aisle for
random screaming dude in there, Um came back kind of lazy day, just
again, not feeling good. Friday didn't want to overdo it. Um did
watch The Guardians of the Galaxy three. Okay, all right, you know
what I'll tell you what was nice, Ross and the grand scheme of things.
It was nice to watch a newer Marvel movie where I'm not like,
ah, what are you doing to me? Yeah, dude, Like this
phase of Marvel has been like it's the Guardians three is the rare exception,
right, Yeah, I didn't mind. What was the other one? What
was the one with the rock block autam? I didn't think that was bad,
But No, Guardians was good, especially when you have two good,
good movies ahead of it, Like, it doesn't have to be better than
them, but it can't be the deviation that we saw famously with Godfather three.
Right, you can't. You can't have something out there. And you
know, I understand the escalation of the soundtrack, you know, the evolution
of seventies eighties into early nineties kind of stuff, but it got to that
point where you're outside the target nostalgia side of this and it just blends at
that point where the soundtracks stood out in the other movies, I think because
we're so familiar with the music, Because like you say, it progresses,
right, like the first movie is like sixties seventy, the second movie seventy
eighties, and this is like eighties, late eighties, like nineties, so
we're more familiar with the music, and it's not a special. The story
was good. Um I'm not I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone because it
is fresh, freshly released on home. That being said, um no,
it was good. It was it was. It was a good movie.
I think it definitely belongs with the other ones. I think I agree with
you too that it's the third. I would rank it third if I had
to rank the three, right, But it doesn't mean it's a bad movie.
No, not at all, not at all. So that was a
that was a pleasant surprise. I watched that, and then I watched the
newest m Night Shamalan movie, That's Got It was funny because I watched it
in both instances and it's the same actor in there, right, So how
many wrestlers can you have in movies? Now? I saw that they just
put some new movie up on Netflix. I haven't watched it. That had
John Cena and um, um, oh, why is his name escaping me?
John Cena? And um, he wanted to say Donnie Yen, but
obviously it's not Donnie Yen. The movie is called Hidden Strike and it's got
John Cena Jackie Chan in it, and but they're in the Middle East and
there's no chemistry going on with um with them at all, So it was
it was. It was that. But if you just want to shoot him
up action a movie, that's what people shane. It's good. I'll give
it a watch probably, but every review I said, yeah, they just
don't really get along. So but I guess John Cena's speaking in China in
Mandarin a bunch in it, which is remember when I remember that apology video
he filmed for China, How how awful that was where he's like apologizing to
all of China on behalf of US policy and he's doing it in Mandarin.
I mean, that's the guy protecting his paycheck. But the m Night Shamalan
has got Dave Bautista in it, who obviously is in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Um, yeah, okay, it wasn't as good as Guardians three,
but yeah, we'll move your rotame for you there. But it's like,
if you got prime, it's on Amazon Prime, so you're already paying for
it, might as well go watch it. There you go, all right?
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. We'll get to
the audio here in just a few minutes. So the guys say, jail
him or kill him? That apparently was the Twitter debate. We'll let you
decide and much more in our next two hours case O Day Radio Program.
Thanks for joining us. Hang on, everybody seven six here on the case
O Day Radio Program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy
four. Let's see here, do do um? How many? How many
students are back to school rosters? Tell me Lincoln's going back to school day?
He's on it? Is he he's on one of these weirder schedules or
no, I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, he's in year
round. He's on the year round. So weird's not the right word for
that, but he's on a non traditional schedule, I guess would be the
way to say it. So, so in Wake County for the non traditional
year round students, they're back at it today. Okay, all right,
when's the first teacher workshop? About a week? They need about a week
of the kids, and they're like, oh, we need a day off,
which, you know whatever. I don't know how fully the scheduling works
on the year round to be quite honest with you. So all right,
well that'll be uh, that'll be fun. So we got that for some
of you out there listening this morning. Dude, I was just looking at
this dog suit. Dude, this video again. There's something immensely creepy about
this and it I think it has to do with the realistic nature of it.
I don't know, man, did you get did you get a little
shivers when you were dubbing this in this morning? Man, it's weird.
Oh, I don't know, it is weird, but it just the suit
is creepy. So some guy thinks. Some guy paid twenty thousand dollars.
Now, he didn't have surgery, and so I guess there's that. But
he decided he wants to be a dog, so he paid twenty thousand dollars
for a really creepy dog suit. His name that he goes by as a
dog, I guess his Toko. So there you go. So he didn't
get you didn't get it like dog transformation surgery, but he did shell out
for a big time, super expensive, very realistic. He went Border Collie,
by the way, So maybe he's just a big fan of Lassie thought.
You know, lassie's a hero. You want to emulate your heroes,
like when you're a kid. Right now that you're in that superhero phase,
you're running around, You're like, I'm Superman, right, you're not,
but you're a kid. This guy, his hero is a guy who tells
you when somebody's in a well, which happens, and they did a whole
news story on this. Yeah, are you good? My only prayer is
those sirens are the pattiwagon coming there with the but the one with the soft
walls coming for that dude. What's funny is part of the video there's another
dog, like an actual dog that like comes walking up their owners. They're
walking it and it like sniffs the fake twenty thousand dollars dude and a suit
dog and like freaks out and it's like I don't like that. You can
tell the dog. It's like nope, yeah, Subs not right. What's
going on here? Oh the whole thing that this one was? Are you
such a good dog? There's the guy in the white outfits. It's not
funny, it's weird. Yeah, it's the dog. It's just a dog
that within about five seconds you can tell is Subs off and if you're a
dog, you're like, something's way off. Man, I don't know what's
going on. That dog doesn't know where to bark or run. But you
know, hey, you can be anything you want now. So I guess
if you want to spend twenty k to get a dog suit and get walked
around, do your thing. You know how some dogs are, like you
know, they'll they'll attach on the some people's legs or yeah, you know
start Well, does that give him the right now to Oh? I didn't
even think it was. I can't control your I can't control myself. I'm
a dog. Give me your leg. So if you're the one walking him
and he decides it's time to um relieve himself, do you got to pick
it up? I mean I don't. I don't understand. Not if you're
in San Francisco, I guess then you can just be human in San Francisco.
I saw I was reading a story not that long ago. Or this
woman's like she got fine twice for letting her leaving dog crap at a park
and she's like, I literally had to walk by human feces. How does
this suit work? If you paid twenty thousand? Can he go to the
bathroom minute. I don't mean like in the suit, I mean can you
can you know he does have a I just have a flap or something.
I don't I don't know. I don't have one. Do you want one?
What dog? What kind of dog do you want to be? I
want to be a Chihuahua. How are you gonna fit in the suite?
It'll be a chinormous chihuahua. But they won't look that was you think you're
terrifying people with the border Collie lass. You look man or like or like
a pit bull? Because I'm not a coward. I'm not afraid of people.
So you're like a shoot it no, because you would be the Gandhi
of pitbulls, right? Or would you be an a hole pit bull?
I can't control myself. I am what I am. You know it's gonna
be funny when you're not paying attention. Throw somebody throws you into a ring
with an actual pit bull. They start bet hunt you. It is gone
too far. I'm not you're trying to get this. Come on, dude,
you gotta commit. You're trying to take the suit off before they unleash
the other one. It's like missing an eye a dog or not. Yeah,
yeah, come on, man, and you wanted this, we're helping
you out. Oh but hey, you know what, still not the weirdest
thing I guess I've ever seen in the I'm pretending to be stuff front.
I'm I'm fun. But it's because of the commitment with the suit that he
creeps me out far more than that. Remember that audio that checks She's like,
I identify as a bluebird, right, but she still looks, you
know, like just a weird, confused young woman. And this guy went
full border Collie look. So we'll tweet it out at Casey on the radio.
No, I'm not changing to X, even though my logo did.
And now everyone thinks I have porn on my desktop or my phone unlockscreen.
So I'm thinking, I'm I'm glad that you said that when I mentioned it
off the er, because I'm thinking about stuffing it into the folder the social
media fold because I have Twitter out and Facebook out there. I do too.
At the bottom of my phone, it's yeah, like text message the
actual phone phone, my email for work and stuff. And yeah, and
now it looks like like the black and white X logo. It looks like
a porn logo. It looks like it's something dirty. Yeah, it's gonna
mess up a lot of stuff too. Marky and I were talking because you
know, even on on Patrol Live. You know, we watched them the
weekend, the cop Show, and typically they always have on the corner.
It's on Patrol Live with the hashtag op live, and it has like the
Facebook logo and the Twitter logo, and that has gone now and a lot
of people now have to change their business cards, right, you have to
change your graphics for whatever, if you're in like news or media whatever.
I do have to change a bunch of my graphics on Twitch because it has
the haste for sheriff with the Twitch logo that I had custom made. Now
I just have to crop that out or like make a new one to paint.
My business cards are still Clear Channel business cards. So I'm not exactly
an early adopter. Did you know that? No idea I had. I
got a box and when we were still Clear Channel, and I've never gone
through all of them because I don't want to give people. If you give
a person a business car, what do they do? They're gonna contact you?
Right? Yeah, So I like I have a I have like half
a box still and they're still clear channel. You know, if you got
a business and you have like a rap on your vehicle, if you change
that now yeah you know, I maybe you do, maybe you don't.
I mean the AT's still going to be the same and people are still going
to associate it. I mean it's gonna be I still say Twitter. It'll
be a long time before I say X. If I do. I think
eventually it'll get there, But I still say Twitter or you know, I
just said, we tweeted out talking about the weird dog dude. That's what
we do. And people know, even if it's the X logo on their
phone, Yeah, that's where they're gonna go. So check that out.
At Casey on the radio, um so Ross is going giant chihuahua or pitbull
until he gets thrown in the ring, so understandable. I just think it'd
be too much energy to portray at chihuahua. You know you got yeah,
oh you need. I would go something really lazy. Man. One of
those dogs were like once a week, you got a check and make sure
it didn't die on you. Here's a few breeds like that. If you're
gonna do it. The reason you would want to do it is so that
people would leave you alone. Right, So if you're the lazy dog and
it's just you napping all day playing the part, then mission accomplished. Maybe
it's worth the twenty K. I don't know, all right. So a
little interview going on. Let's see here, Matthew Olivarez is interviewing people standing
out front of the Trump rally, which took place in Eerie, PA over
the weekend, and he's interviewing this dude. I'm gonna play with the guy
said first, and then I'll tell you what some are claiming. He actually
said, but I want you to listen and tell me what you think.
Okay, here we go. How you guys showing? All right, go
ahead, I'm here to guarantee Trump gets back in and get rid of the
corruption. It's in the White House right down. It's these are just Joe
Biden's the straight to this country disgrace and saw all the u so the left
and the rhinos, the globalist Hey, jail mall, jiel mall. I
agree with you on that, all right? All right? So uh,
and then Alvarez agreed with the dude who is look definitively is his delivery the
clearest delivery out there. No kind of sounds like he didn't have teeth,
his teeth in or something. I'm not cutting on the guy, but he's
just he's there's a little mush mouth going on there. However, it was
abundantly clear to me what he said. Abundantly clear. At the end,
he says, jail them all. He has shows it three times. He
says it under Alvarez once and then two after he says jail them all.
However, that audio clip was then circulated on social media over the weekend claiming
that Trump supporters were promoting murdering their political opponents. Yep, yep, yep,
yep. Now there's something that is is trending on Twitter is responding almost
a real time people. They were talking about how great the country is,
how great the president is, and I heard something else that was spoken.
But somebody, why what I'm hearing that is said was somebody said, well,
let's kill them all. That is not something that I agree with.
Obviously. Now, by the way, shame on Alvarez for this. I
don't understand why he's giving any quarter to this. It's you know, fine,
if you think that's what it, go back and listen to it.
Obviously, you have the footage, you can crank the volume, you can
look at this. It was clear from the moment I listened to that dude
the first time, to the sub to quit. That's probably the fifth or
sixth time I've listened to it. Now, that's not what he said.
He said jail them all. So I don't know why Alvarez is feeding this
piece. So if there is something that happened where somebody was speaking out there,
I didn't hear those words spoken. It's very loud outside. All I
know is I'm here for God, for this country, for truth, for
President Trump, that kind of thing. Now, it does sound that maybe
Alva is a little unclear as to which one it was, just because he's
you know, he's still working and milling around out there. But I'm gonna
play this guy again. Does he say kill them all or jail him all?
Because I didn't hear kill him all? Ross when you dubbed it in.
Obviously you knew what to listen for because you saw the story. Was
there any doubt in your mind what he was saying. No, he said
jail said, jail absolutely again, he's not the easiest to understand. But
here it is again, how you guys seeing good, good good. I'm
here to guarantee Trump get back in and get rid of the corruption it's in
the White House, right. These are just Joe Biden's straight to this country,
the disgrace, and so are all the U so the left and the
rhinos, the globalist on giel them all, giel them all. I agree
with you on that. Jail them all, jail them all. Albert is
standing right there. That's obviously what he heard, or at least how he
took it. But again, when he listened to it, I know he
says it's loud, but that he's obviously got a microphone that does a pretty
good job drowning that out. So good on him for that. A lot
of times those crowd interviews are a little tough because they're using a cheap sure
mic or something. But no, it was abundantly clear to me, and
people wrote op edge, people wrote these very trouble. Can you believe this?
And they were trying, they were flagging it on Twitter, trying to
get him to take it down because he's advocating for the murder of his political
opponents, which I find a little rich. See, yeah, we know
no one on the left whatever, right, right, okay, violence against
anyone? Yeah, especially murder. Come on, yeah, but what if
they're a softball team? I mean, what if they're a softball team?
Though? Is that like a loophole? Right? Listen, man, semantics?
I mean, I don't want to know, you know, just practicing.
But but but a softball team of elected officials? So yeah, but
no, I know, jail them all, kill them all, you hear,
kill them all? Um. I feel like you're projecting at that point.
But that's just me, all right eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seventy four. Gotta have our little controversies over the weekend. Also,
why was Millie Vanilly trending on Twitter? There? I said it again.
Um, you can thank Cardi B for that. Man. She um.
She had a run in, as several musicians have had over the weekend with
somebody deciding that they want to be a bigger part of the show. And
I don't know why this thing this is picking up steam, but it seems
like it's ha opening every weekend. Now there's another story from some artists getting
something thrown at him on stage, So, dude, social media is just
murdering it because you just know their friend is there filming while they're doing it.
Although I did see one or a guy through a He threw a cup
that he had relieved himself in into a mosh pit and the biggest dude you've
ever seen in your life comes out of that moshpit and beats the crap out
of this guy. Did you see that video over the weekend. Oh,
I'm gonna have to find that. Yeah, he thought he was so clever
with his little stunt and all. And then Goliath emerges with no shirt on
but slightly moist, and it's like, you could not have thrown that in
the worst spot, my man. And he just stood there thinking, I
don't know, they wouldn't know who it was. But then everyone started pointing
at him. Oh it was great. But we'll get to the Millie Vanilli
Cardi B things. I know you're you're you're really concerned what's going on with
Cardi B as m as we get into as we get into the show here
on Monday morning, also a little something from the Trump probably that Trump Trump
was talking about. We'll get to that. And Joe Biden went to signing
an executive order, flew all the way to Maine to do it, and
then and then forgot a little awkward there. So all that and more coming
your way here on the case O Day Radio program. Hang on the show.
After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey O Day for
the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, good morning, seven
thirty five. That halfway through, just flying here on a Monday, which
is not normally what a Monday does well, which of course means it'll drag
later in the week. But what's you gonna do about that? All right?
One of the things trending on the Twitter or x or whatever you want
to call it, Millie Vanilli. They're both dead, right. I think
they both have died now. One of them died a while ago and then
one not that long ago, if I remember correctly, and if you're listening
to Sherylan, who's Millie Vanilli. There was this little window, little window
during my childhood when these two burst onto the scene and they had like they
had two big, big hits, and I want to say they charted several
others and it was I think that they came out of Germany but it was
two. It was two black guys with dreadlocks, right, and they were
singing and dance and their butts off, and they shot right to number one,
the whole thing. And then it came out later that while they did
do their own dance and they didn't do their own singing, so that was
they got their Grammys taken away. It was a whole thing. All right,
Now you're up to speed. So why was that trending over the weekend.
Well, Cardi B was doing a concert. I'm sure you guys have
all seen her in concert, and she was the latest entertainer to find herself
having something thrown out her on stage. And it's been a variety of things
that people have thrown up there, some a lot firmer than others. And
because it gets the coverage, I feel like it's escalating a little. You
know. Some people would say, Wow, they're just covering it more.
It's like some of the shark. But I've been to a lot of concerts,
a lot of concerts, having worked them in my radio career, and
then when I was younger, I worked stage hand when I went down to
the school in California there and that was a sweet gig and I was there
the concerts most of them, and I never saw people throwing inappropriate stuff up
all right. There's sometimes women will throw some stuff on stage. It's the
thing that happens, okay. Or if you went to a Chris LaDue show
back in the day, people would throw lids of Copenhagen chewing tobacco up there.
When he'd seen Copenhagen, which was a thing, throw empty cans or
lids up there. They just rained down on the stage, which, by
the way back remember Marlborough miles back in the day where you could save for
stuff and get a sweet Marlborough Nascar jacket or something. Well, Copenhagen did
their own thing, and then it's like everything else, there's the big one
that you're like, oh, nobody's gonna be able to afford that. And
Le Dou had one of those pool It was a pool table, a custom
Copenhagen pool table that he used the lids that people throw on stage, and
he had one in his house down in Casey, Wyoming, which is just
where I where I grew up, hence the name there because my parents are
very imaginative. But it's just a smaller town in Johnson County, Wyoming.
And see that's where he lived, and he had he had one of those
custom Copenheggen pool tables. Now I don't know since he did that, if
he bought it or whatever, but the story his kid would tell is they
used the lids, and I guess I'm inclined to believe it. So those
are rare exceptions. Usually you don't throw stuff on the stage, okay,
all right, well not nowadays. You throw everything under the sun, including
somebody through a drink at Cardi B while she was singing. So she threw
her microphone at the individual and started screaming at him. A little bit of
a problem though, I don't even I'm scared because I don't know what she's
saying. Oh dude, I listened to it like forty times in a row.
I think I got all the believes. Can't probably into it. I
listened to it when I said it yesterday, and I had it cranked the
second time, and I'm like, because because even when she speaking English,
I have no idea what she's saying. You know what I said out literally
out loud, I said, good luck, Ross said So Anyway, the
problem is she's singing after she threw her bike, So apparently that thing has
quite the range able to pick up her singing continuing singing from I guess on
the ground in front of the stage, which is very impressive, or or
another possibility she wasn't singing doing a little lip sync action. I mean they
all do it though, any any act where you have a lot of aerobic
activity and singing and like they're they're dancing and they're moving and they're jumping and
they're all these dance moves. Yet the music sounds like you hear it on
the album right, like the studio quality. There's no heavy breathing, there's
no pause. Is they lip sing? Like most of them do that.
The difference between like this and Millie Vanilly is Millie Vanilly didn't even sing their
own lyrics. It was somebody else singing the song, right, Yeah,
but still I don't know. I hate to say they all do it.
They do though, they all do, especially when you see them on TV.
Now there are exceptions like S ANDL but they also do it in concerts
a lot of times. This is a lot why Like when you're in music
radio for so long, you had to love going to the concerts. I
hated it. A. It was like work, right, but B you're
there so much and you start to understand that a lot of it is fake
a lot of these people, and you even see it on televised events like
big sporting events. A lot of the time, what they'll do is they'll
sing a version of it in the sound check, and that's the version you
see on the live show. Because there's too much of you. I'll go
with you on right, the ones that are but also newer, because i
mean you get into some of the older acts, even the ones that are
pretty mobile on stage, and I didn't see them lips sinking when I was
a lot. A lot of times they do. I hate to bring it
to you. They do, and it doesn't matter how big it. Madonna
has done it, Michael Jackson's done it. They've I got that. But
I mean when you get into the people that are quote unquote real singers,
I mean they're not. Well, it's a different in genre. Most of
the of the rock acts they'll be singing live. But I'm saying these pop
acts like Britain Spears and stuff, where there's choreographed dancing going with the music
and you have twenty people dancing and you're doing all this aerobic activity. It's
impossible to do the dancing and to sing without the in between. It's impossible.
But you listen to the music track and you're like, there's no heavy
breathing, there's no gaps. How is that possible? Because they're lip syncing.
Now, somebody who should have was when I went and saw Dylan a
number of years ago, like ten years ago. He was touring and he
already is a little difficult to understand. Oh yeah, Bob Dylan, dude,
Oh he should he should lip sync and you hear that. That's what
I'm saying. He should. They should put it. They should put you
know, positively six Street or whatever in and just uh, you know,
let it do it. You're right, though, there's a difference of genre.
So let me say, Yeah, if you're in rock music or something
like that, odds are it's live and what you're hearing is real. But
if it's like a pop act, right, or a hip hop act where
there's a lot of dancing, it's it's recorded. Yeah, no, no,
no, I don't. I don't disagree with you, but I also
think even going you know, you get into like eighties pop. If you
even want to call it that, I don't know. It's probably not fair
to call it that. I think there was there was a progression to that.
But you know, once you get once you get some of the big
boys doing it, Like you said, the Madonnas of the world, Michael
Jackson, I think other artists are sitting there and all of a sudden going,
yeah, well we want to put on because they're expected to put on
these big shows and these pop acts. Right, it was not all of
them like they said. But if you're listening to you know, how many
times have you gone to see a show, right, and you you're waiting
for your one song and then it comes on and it sounds nothing like what
it sounds like on the album. Now you want it to sound like it
sounds like in the album, but it's not. Because it's live, that's
fine. But when you're hearing like it's just dancing and it sounds just like
it does on the actual CD or MP three that's recorded, no, no,
no, I'm with you there. So although I haven't been to a
Cardi B show, so I don't know how much a robs there are.
Oh I've been like twenty of them. Oh really yeah, big yeah.
Didn't I threaten to send you to one and you were busy? Didn't I
say we had some tickets, I would round them up for you, and
you were like, oh, I'm busy, And you didn't even know what
day thinking about that? Because you know that person exists. It's been to
like twenty Cardi B shows, So as bad as your day could be today,
just be thankful you're not that person. But you've been to twenty Cardi
B. Like you follow her around the country, Dude, there's some there's
some folks, man. I'll tell you the weirdest show I ever worked for
that was we did a fish show and I knew that they had like the
dead the fish following, but it was bonkers, dude. Do you know
how much do you know how much drugs they found after they emptied the arena?
They literally the police were there. The police were there because they knew,
or I mean the police are there anyway, but after the show,
they literally had they had their canine you it's going through where it was and
they were just scooping stuff up, man, which is I mean, what
a waste of drugs? Craziness? But I guess if your parents are fund
your lifestyle driving around listening to fish, they'll pay for your drugs too,
all right, seven forty five Race Agic. He pays for his own drugs.
Not morning, not that you would, of course, but maybe on
a Monday morning. But yeah, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So what's going on? My man? Here we are, last day of
July. Make it good. I want to want to fresh slate for August
of good stuff. Yeah, it's not bad. You know, we take
out the rain chances even this morning, some of these thunder storms of kind
of snuck up on us. You go north northwest up into a Person,
Caswell Counties in Rockingham and even into Guildford County north of Greensboro, heading east
of oak Ridge, heading toward Brown's Summit, Bethany and Rockingham County and heading
toward Reidsville, Yanceyville. You're just about out of it in High Tower and
then you get into Person County. I just kind of got this little blob
that's kind of surprised me a little bit this morning. So you might get
clipped with a shower thunderstorm this morning. It'll briefly rain hard, then it'll
be over with and maybe a few of this afternoon now still fairly warm,
mid upper eighties. But tonight we're actually going to see temperatures drop into the
mid and upper sixties and maybe only the mid to upper eighties tomorrow, which
is a passing shower thunderstorm. So Casey, I really think it's going to
get a little less in terms of humidity around and a little less in terms
of warmth compared to last week as we go on through the first day of
August. Tomorrow, then Wednesday sunny and comfortable, mid upper eighties, and
then Wednesday night again in the load of maybe mid sixties and towards the end
of the week middle eighties for highs sixties for low temperatures, and I don't
see anything maybe above ninety degrees today we got a shot at it, but
I think all in all, tempters at are slightly below normal for maybe the
entire week, So not terrible, not terrible, especially for the tum of
year. M hmm, all right, all right, I like going with
this. Appreciate it bad an hour, sir, Thank you. All right,
there you go, race agent from the Weather Channel. I just saw
this Washington Post headline. In fact, that's all the teas, I gotta
do wait, do you hear this? I guess it's an opinion piece,
so at least they did label it as such. But holy crap, I
feel like we're living on two different planets. Man. We'll get to that
next. Hang on. Thank you, CASI, w PTI in the Triad

point. Well you can. Yeah, I like that one. I have
a whole button bar this stuff. Why would you do this too? It's
AI. It's powered by ros Roth chat. What is that? It's a
new AI engine I built? Yes, casey I concur okay, all right,
Well, look I like the positive nature of it. I mean,
we've all been there, right, I don't It sounds so? It sounds
great, right, sounds realistic? No, no, no, but I'm
wondering where we've all what the thing we've all been at before I concur or
whatever the terms you used. I've had this on the button bar for like
two months. Why I've just been waiting. No, but why did you
make it? Initially? I haven't. I thought it was funny. Oh
okay. And then if I ever have sick days, I can just like
sit and if I have a'm ever sick, right like deadly sick, like
I'm ill, I've got super Siberian COVID and I can't come in and like
they're like, well, I don't understand you're sick, but there we don't
have anybody to fill in for you, so you still have to go in.
I'll just sit here and I'll hit the buttons. Oh okay, Or
I can hit the buttons then I can exactly. I canna be like,
hey, Ross, what do you think of management? Absolute poverty? Wow?
Wow? You forget I have access to your button bar too. Oh
no, I understand completely. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh. I
can't believe you said that about management. Holy cow man, you check out
the haze for sheriff twitch channel, all right? Which one is that I'm
gonna have to get rid of that one off the butt. Mar Dude.
Seriously, I just want to let the audience know. Next time ROSSI is
out, when are you got when are you taking your name? You're taking
some time October because Lincoln, like today's his first day sixth grade, he's
going in Yeah, and but he's on the year round schedule, so he
has like time off in October now. And Mark he's going to be out
of town for a wedding down in Orlando. You don't want to go to
the wedding. Oh, it's the whole Disney. It's Disney, so it's
super expensive. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well
trust me, when you're not here, I'll make sure you're here. I
can't wait, Anne, Yeah, I can't believe some of the stuff you
said. That's future. I mean, it's disgusting. It really is absolute
poverty. It was wow. It was. It was something kind of like
watching the President of the United States go up to Maine to sign an executive
order. But you could have done it there, but he went up to
Maine to do the dog and pony show that uh politicians like to do.
The Democrat Mayor Mayne came out and talked about how Joe Biden's making everything awesome
and then um, a little bit of a little bit of a problem.
So he goes through all of that. I gotta go back to my button.
Bar hold on, hold on, yes, okay, no, hold
on. So then he goes up there to Maine, talks all about how
great it is, and then walks off without signing it. Yeah, what
was it called? Here? We go invent here, make it here?
That's the name of the executive order. Wait a sec, I wait,
hold on, I'm confused. Um just to say, ross, I thought
wanting stuff made here in America was racist, wasn't it? Like, just
like two years ago it was racist? Right like when somebody I don't know,
hypothetically may have been talking about why during supply chain issues and everything going
on, that maybe we should have more stuff made here. I'm so confused.
I don't know the rules anymore. Wow, that's a good point.
It is a good point, thank you. But no, that's not racist
anymore. So he goes have to Maine to do that. Maine lost half
a percent of its manufacturing jobs during June of twenty two to twenty three.
Oh boy, I wonder if I wonder if he's seen in the North Carolina
numbers maybe post NAFTA. Anyway, so he goes to the event, leaves
the stage, and then they literally had to get him back on the stat
which you think about this, think about how dangerous that is to have to
have this man walk on and off the stage twice. But they did.
And so literally the crowd's dispersing because the President's are just and then he comes
popping back out to sign the executive order. Then he rules out of there.
So yeah, why do I feel like this is going to be a
crutch so you don't have to actually think of stuff? Ha ha ha not
Also, doesn't it demonstrate to management maybe they don't need us? No,
all right, I just don't want to give them any ideas, man like
the ideas they're getting in Hollywood. More on that in a moment. All
right, everybody, Hello, welcome back to the show Powered by Rose Ai.
I'm sorry, what did we have a it's not on the law?
I didn't I what is that a studio sponsor? Did I just talk over
a student? What was that you just played? Oh? No instead of
play that? He said, any Ai thing that I made? The Ross
Ay The Ross Chat powered by Ross AI. The show is powered by Ross
AI. Listen, AI is the future and we're just ahead of it.
That's what we do in the show. That's what we do. It is
true. I mean we are trailblazers. Um, I don't know. Man.
Again, we've seen some AI go a little sideways. So like one
day, I don't want to hear I don't want to hear your your disembodied
voice, you know, bringing up some good points that some despot had or
you know, one of the nine thousand ways. I mean, the odds
of that happening. Come on, that's fair. It's fair, Okay,
all right, So it's sitting on there, that's been sitting there for two
months. Yeah, it's been on there for a while. Yeah. I
want people to understand. I know that's silent. You only hear a little
drops there. I looked on there. There's what like ten fifteen drops plus
there's um sound effects on a couple of them. Yes, that probably that
probably was an hour to an hour and a half of when Ross could have
been doing I don't know anything else. Wow, that's a good point.
Yeah, hah, Kelly, if management hears that is like, well,
if we just get some butt bars of him. It was in nineteen ninety
nine and that was working my first overnight shift at a radio station called K
one hundred, and the assistant program director is still one of my good friends,
Jim Steele on the Wheels of Steel. Right. So Jim was working
nights and I walked in and it was the first like two weeks of having
an actual computer in the studio as opposed to old eight tracks and CDs and
everything else. So the commercials were now based like, yeah, there was
a computer the first time ever in the studio. Arts. We called him
Karts. Yeah. I walked into the studio at eight o'clock, right,
and he's sitting there and he's just on the internet. He's surfing the internet
on an inappropriate website right in the studio. But the song ends and he
looks up when there's like a second of dead air, and he looks up
and he's like, oh oh, and he pushes a button. It was
touchscreen and the computer and he goes, this is K one hundred and it
was his recorded voice, and then he hit the next song, and I
said, what do you do when he goes, I'm using technology buddies whatever.
Yeah, yeah, he sat there in the entire show, just pushing
buttons of like I'm doing here, like as a joke, I'm doing as
a joke. But he did the entire show like that, like this is
K one hundred. That's amazing. I'm okay with that. I gotta be
honest with great. I mean and this, but this was before voice tracking
became prominent, so I mean he was like he was a prophet. Because
psychic. I used to have a bit with Secretary fake Secretary. I don't
even know if I have those files in there anymore. And it was one
of our it was one of our old interns. I had her just do
a bunch of drops so I could sound like really important with my secretary.
And I don't even I don't even know if we have that in the system,
just kind of glancing here. That was fun. But I stole the
idea from my buddy who did it, who did it on his show,
And um, he had like the six he had like three pages of it.
I couldn't keep one page in order, so I just kind of stopped
doing it. But yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I don't see
any in there. I guess it's wow, that's too bad. I thought
they were pretty funny that I made that poor girl record all those two and
she's like, what is this for? She's like, don't make me say
anything inappropriate? What right? Come on? This is uh, this is
this is an adult zone here. We don't we don't do stuff like that.
Like I would never make you know Ross and Salt, the management that
was him earlier. Just pull the strings. So you did two different versions
of the AI sweep by ROSSI you got paid for that too, didn't you.
I mean hourly? So I guess yes, yeah, yeah, oh
good, I guess all right. Oh man, yeah, I remember that
transition, you know, I remember that transition over to when we had a
computer in there. But I remember our first log operating system was Aracus.
Do you did you ever use Aracus? I never did, never heard of
it. I remember thinking it would be easier if I sung all the songs.
It was. It was the first version. That program was horrible.
It's come a long way. I guess the new one's fine, but back
in the day it was like Doss promp looking. It was bad and it
was you had to like defrag it after every shift. I think I know
what you're talking about. I think it was. That's not Digitalink, was
it. We had a system called Digitalink and Moorhead City it was awful and
but yeah, yeah, yeah it was so bad. Yeah, it would
be problems like songs got you have to defrag the system, like if it
wasn't every shift, it was at least once a day it was. And
I remember we had that, but we still had UM. We still had
UM the CDs and all that stuff in the studio. And I got really
frustrated with it one day and I printed the log off and then I just
ran I just ran the log. I just took the spots basically and dubbed
them into a cart and then I just ran the log. And the owner
of the station, this was one of this. Before I worked for iHeart,
I worked for a mom and pop owner there. She got so mad
because they had spent all that money on this system, and I'm just like,
I don't want to be doing this, but we're having issues and uh
yeah yeah yeah, yeah. That thing was a beast. So all right,
let me flip back to this before Ross Steel's any more sponsored time,
They're gonna send you a bill man the AI. What does it do?
Is it like crypto trade when they're not there or oh okay, but you
but you built it to the moon. Okay, Oh good for you.
All right. So I saw this article over the weekend. I do find
this very interesting because apparently there are limits to this. You know, a
lot of people when they saw the the NAACP Spokane president and that picture of
her as the whitest white girl ever from Montana and compared it to what she
looked like Dan and that whole story unraveled. There was this this suggestion that
she was quote unquote transracial. Okay, And anytime you would bring that up
in a conversation, well, you can change your gender, but you can't
change your heritage. You can't change your race. Where are the divining lines?
Well, a lot of times nobody wanted to touch it. And if
you brought it up, it was you know, it's a strong man argument.
You're not you're not discussing this in good faith, and you're just like,
no, explain it to me, like I'm five, Okay, Well
this over the weekend, this is like you labeled a New York Post.
I think it came from NBC. Actually, I just want to make sure
that I just tweeted it out. Yeah, oh okay, all right,
which is part of the reason why I put the story in there. Sorry,
just looking out it's labeled in my because I can see New York Post
running this. But the fact that NBC ran this, Who's all in on
everything having to do with transgender They hate Republicans for any of the bills that
they're putting out hormone replacement. Yeah, give it to them the you know,
the moment they asked that. That has been their position, and anybody
who questions it is a horrible bigot or whatever, you know, whatever your
your hate is. However, they ran a piece explaining to everyone that you
can't change your race entitled Inside the Online World of people who think they can
change their race. Since before she hit double digits, Eliza fifteen said she
has fell a special connection with Japan. The high school student who asked to
be anonymous for fear of being Docks was born in Ukraine, lives in Maryland,
but now goes by the Japanese name Miyuki, just just Miyuki, and
listens to subliminals that promise that she will wake up and be Japanese. There's
some weird, weird stuff. On TikTok, there's this thing called manifesting.
Do you know what this is? This? I could do a whole show
on the creepiness of this. So manifesting is this thing. I'm sure it's
elsewhere, but on TikTok it's very popular where there are people who teach people
to manifest luck, manifest money and like. So if you watch one of
their TikTok's and then they'll tell you to repeat these phrases while holding something or
look at it's it's just weird, almost spell like stuff, and I'm sure
it works just perfectly. And then people getting the amount of views that they
have on their in comments of people, it's just so strange. Manifest love,
manifest this man and then sometimes you read numbers. I didn't go too
far down the rabbit hole. I just kind of cridged at it a few
times I've seen it. But holy cow. So she's listening to subliminals that
promise she will wake up and be Japanese, so far as she believes that
by listening to YouTube videos with low fi music and photos of East Asian facial
features. I'm sorry, are you laughing at this? This woman's journey were
you laughing at this woman's journey to be Japanese? By the way, there
was a whole song about this. She probably doesn't know because she's fifteen,
specifically about turning Japanese. But I digress. So by listening to YouTube videos,
actually played this song at K one hundred oh ali t So listening to
YouTube video I have to get through this because there's just so much insanity by
listening to YouTube videos with lo fi music and photos of East Asian Asia facial
features while she sleeps. How do you listen to photos of East Asian facial
features? I guess they're flashy, went to me, Okay, whatever,
her vision is cleared, Her eyelids have become smaller and her hair a bit
darker. Is it that? Or do you think she's just walking around squinting,
which seems wildly more offensive than anything else they're gonna ledge in this article.
Didn't that one dude in the UK at least get all the surgery to
look Korean because he was like a big K pop guy, like he went
and he had his whole face reconstructed, like he was in it to win
it. I think that like at that point, people were like all right,
man, you're committed to it, but he was receiving a ton of
crap for that. Practitioners of what they call race Change to Another or RCTA,
you don't have to abbreviate everything. Purport to be able to manifest physical
changes in their appearance and even genetics to become a different race. Where would
they get this idea? They tune in to subliminal videos that claim they can
give them an East Asian appearance. Hold on, I'm not be able to
get through the text part videos that claim to be able to give them an
East Asian appearance, or people who claim to be able to give them Korean
DNA. Look, you're fifteen, so I'm gonna be delicate a Lisa.
If some dude online is telling you he will give you koree in DNA,
it's not what you think. Okay, that's as delicate as ross. Do
you understand what I'm trying to imply without saying it. Some guy is like
telling this young lady, yes, oh okay, all right, thank you
fake Ross? Sound you sound lifeless? Ai? There is this problem with
them? Okay, see right there again. Yeah, if some dude told
you he was gonna give you DNA and it matches his hair, just watch
out, okay, Like, don't tell him to come over with Mike's hard
lemonade and no pants or whatever you would see on that classic show. But
experts underscore that it is simply impossible to change your race. It's just belief,
said James Cohen, an assistant professor of Cultural and Media Studies at Queen's
College. Will hold on. If it's just belief, and somebody believes that
they are they were in fact assigned the wrong gender at birth, it is
that belief that is used to calculate whether that individual does in fact need medical
care. I'm going through the descriptions that they would NBC would normally use that
they need a medical course of action to realize what they believe to be their
proper genetic assignment or gender assignment. Right. That is, that is how
it is, That is how it is explained. So to then use that
to say these people are nuts, I feel like I'm not fully understanding the
difference you're going after because you're talking now about you know, genetics and all
of that. But when people bring up chromosomal assignment, they're told that that's
not a relevant discussion. Well, it doesn't constitute a full blown trend.
A number of racial subliminal creators have popped up on YouTube in recent years and
TikTok, where dozens of accounts have emerged in recent weeks, sharing similar goals
and aesthetics and documenting what people describe as their race change juries, journeys.
Excuse me, NBC is doing a whole takedown of this stuff. Now we
get into this race is a construct. Experts agree race is not genetic,
but they contend that even though race is a cultural construct, it is impossible
to change your race. Well, hold on, I thought gender. You're
using all the same words, but it's opposite day. So you just said
race is a cultural construct, which I don't believe is true. Right do
we believe race is a cultural construed When you look at people, and I
want to be very clear what I'm saying. When you study people, especially
when you study people from different regions of the world, not only do they
they do all look the same, but they also they have physical features and
attributes that are more in line with from a racial standard, from a heritage
standpoint, where they're from or where their ancestors were from. Whether it is
the pigmentation of their skin due to the amount of melanin that's produced, Whether
it is a more of an ability to vent one's body because they live in
a warmer environment, the heights of individuals. All of these tend to go
into the different racial constructs and the different backgrounds of people all over the world.
This is and now it's all. It's all malarkey. To quote the
President on this, I honestly I want to read this whole thing to you,
but we'll tweet it. We tweeted it out. You should go look
at it because you're gonna notice a lot of the same keywords, except you're
gonna hear the same experts that NBC usually taps for other stuff, literally using
those exact points in the opposite So, I don't know, I feel like
perhaps just maybe they're not not a lot of self awareness going on in this
article. But I'll let you be the judge. So that's on the Twitter
or the X or whatever you want to call it at KC on the radio.
Go check that out. Like I said, it's a it's a rather
lengthy thing, but it's worth it, and we'll be back smart talk all
day. W PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM talk in
the Triangle. All right, good morning, It is a pretty five here
on the case O Day Radio program Monday morning. A wonderful traffic situation.
And that's sarcastic depending on where you are, because Pete, you know,
people forgot how to drive over the weekend. I guess, But there you
go, more time listening to us. Let me, I kind of flew
past this, and I told you I was gonna share it with you,
this article I saw in its opinion piece from the folks over Washington Post.
Here we go. Democrats must confront an unhappy reality. The GOP's merciless personal
and ideological warfare, particularly in the House, is making it much harder for
President Biden to sell his achievements. You think that's what it is. You
think that the only reason the American populace is looking at Joe Biden as unfavorable
in the majority is because the GOP in the House won't stop tweeting stuff or
going on Fox News. Because you remember, there's a crap ton of people
that swear they never watched the Fox News and are very unlikely to sit there
and read well read press releases for that matter, but even social media around
lawmakers that they don't like except as a hate read. Right, that's just
not a thing. But I love this because I've seen this narrative now for
a few weeks. Who was on with Joe Rogan on? Oh, Jim
Gaffigan, Jim the comedian, Jim Gaffigan, and he spent he spent an
ord amount of time from the clips that I saw, talking about how Joe
Biden is nothing but a compassionate father. He's running that whole NBA scene there.
Dude, I used to love Jim Gaffigan. He lost his mind.
Yeah, he lost his mind a while back. He like total Trump derangement
syndrome, like Grants on Twitter. There, just not what you would normally
see from Jim Gaffigan. I was like, oh, well, I guess
I guess we lost another one. Yeah, him Oswald too, but Gaffican
was much worse. Trying to think, who were the celebrities that were the
worst. Well, Rhiner's still bad, he's still on there, but gaff
I haven't seen much of his stuff. I don't know that we followed him,
but I don't get fed his stuff. I get fed stupid Rhiner stuff.
That's why you don't get fed it because he's never typical. He's not
political, you know, like he you know, he has bits about it's
sort of like Brian Regan right where it's like pop tarts and stuff like,
it's not political. Well down on that Joe Rogan thing, right, he's
lost his mind, like he went off, it's crazy. Let's just you
know, come on there and talk about as something anything. Man. But
now that's where he wants to go. He's just compassionate father. Now they
literally broke into CNN had a breaking news situation on Friday, an interview,
a transcript of an interview. Oh, it's a printed interview with I believe
it was what People magazine. Here we go, yeah, People Magazine.
In the interview, Biden acknowledged for the first time in a public interview the
seventh Biden grandchild, and actually did more than acknowledge, went into a little
bit of detail here. Now, the reason for not bringing it up is
weird, but they are trying to shovel it. So in an exclusive interview,
Joe and Joe Biden sat down with People magazine. By the way,
I think we have to have a bigger audience than people. How do we
not get an interview anyway? Well, because obviously we might ask substantive questions.
So they say that they want the best for the daughter. Now,
for this would be the daughter of Hunter Biden and a former exotic answer to
her name is London, and they've been in court a whole bunch and over
child support. But also a demand that the daughter not not be allowed to
use the Biden last name, which is just bonkers. I mean, that's
her father's last name. Maybe she doesn't want to, maybe mom doesn't,
but regardless, I don't Can you legally stop them if her father's last name
is Biden, is she not legally allowed? I don't understand how that works.
Now, obviously this is part of an agreement. So but the fact
that they they wanted that even in there, it's just so weird to me.
Are they afraid that somebody, you know, they're afraid of Ross I
just figure it out. They're afraid that somebody might use the Biden last name
maybe in the future, to enrich themselves. I can't I can't imagine.
I can't have to protect yourself from that. Yeah, you know, anyone
throwing around that Biden last name, trying to use it for, you know,
to move forward in life and enrich themselves in any way, shape or
form, maybe with opportunity instead of wire transfers from former Soviet Republic. But
hey, you know whatever, whatever, I wasn't in the courtroom. H
And they said that the reason that Joe Biden didn't acknowledge is because they were
doing so at the behest of Hunter because it was league I did legal strategy
R side that the whole thing sounds garbage, but it doesn't have to sound
plausible because most of the media will be like, oh, it was just
respecting this tough time for his kid. He's just a very compassionate guy.
And then Jim Gaffer going to go on Joe Rogan and and run that Biden
also acknowledged wanting to meet the seventh child when the time was right. I
guess maybe it acknowledged the time was right when some of the media outlets,
including New York Times started running stories going, what are you doing, dude?
Is this doesn't look good at all. This seems pointless and is detracting
from all the stuff we want you to do. So funny how that all
worked out so Yeah, they've now acknowledged the grandchild, and they were only
not acknowledging because that's what a Hunter wanted. And as we know, Hunter
has been making a lot of really really good decisions over the last few years.
So I mean ones that were profitable, but I don't know if i'd
use the word good there. So CNN thought they had to break through into
their own programming over that. It was just weird. Man. I was
gonna grab it, and then I didn't find it and I just don't care.
So that's how that process went, all right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four big New York Times piece. I'm not really
going to dive into it. You can look at it if you want.
Ariel was running on their front page because they do they obviously they have some
sort of share with New York Times because I see Time stuff show up there.
I think it's partnered with NBC two and then well whatever. I don't
know how they get it, but it was on point. The piece was
about the evil party switch that blew up North Carolina politics, and if you
read through this thing, holy crap, man, if you read through this
thing, they're they're intimating some Shenanigans. Oh yeah, oh that's stupid.
And then I tried to launch it againting out on the Rio thing, just
trying to pay walmy, Well, look, here's the gist. Let me
do this. I'll give you just a little snippet of it. Actually,
you know what, I'm going to roll it to tomorrow and see if I
still care. But basically, they're trying to intimate that this was some sort
of a plan that was put into motion because when Cotham, who had previously
held four or five terms under the Democratic Party and then left for a little
while. When she came back, among those that encouraged her to run were
Republicans, and so therefore, obviously the fixes in the whole thing is is
just paranoia. But that was, you know, that was the narrative that
people were floating around out there. So of course the New York Times was
willing to do the piece, and then local outlets ran it. So all
right, race Stake, he's here, all original, doing his own thing
and his own doppler. He's killing it and hopefully bringing you a little relief.
Yes, um, this week, um, yes, last week.
Excuse me. A lot of days in the mid nineties had some upper nineties
and it was humid this week, probably mid upper eighties on average, and
maybe some showers thunder showers here and there. Some of the here right now
is this morning where we're seeing a couple of clusters of showers. That is
central northern Granville County into a Person County, just going to clip here in
northern Durham County as you get just to the north of see Hampton right around
there, getting ready to see some rain come into the northern Orange County and
back towards the west, some heavier showers heading into Alaman's County, getting ready
to come across McCray and Union Ridge here this morning and down to the southeast
now Greensboro. So there are some showers out there, they'll be isolated through
the day. Otherwise, cloud sunshine with mid and upper eighties tonight, in
the sixties. Tomorrow, some isolated shower, stutterer showers, some fog in
the morning, mid and upper eighties again and then Wednesday, no mention of
rain as we get to the mid upper eighties and probably maybe the load of
mid eighties for late week with a few showers thunder shower. So if anything,
Casey temperatures may come down a little bit more toward the end of the
week too, so at least in the short term as we get into August,
the trend will be for warm to not quite as warm, with some
showers around here and there. I don't think any of these days this week
going to be a washout. And I don't know if you're paying attention in
the tropics off the coast, there was this invest area that the Hurricane Center
tag, but that looks like it's moving well away from the US mainland,
and another invest area, more impressive looking one again looks like it's going to
steer north and away from the US mainland, but that may get a name.
If it does, it would be Emily. So so far could be
through the east storm and then the tropics really haven't had much impact to the
US mainland and that's actually a good news. Yeah, we'll take that for
sure. All right. Well, look, there's a lot of freaking out
and name and stuff to go, so yeah, there is a long way
to go. The peak September tenth. Just remember it's all about impact.
It only takes one so yeah, cool, we'll chat tomorrow, Thank you,
sir. Yep, I'm back Jeff Balinger. Next, hang on one
oh six one FM Talk and nine four five WPTI, two stations driving the
best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. Our
good morning, and welcome back. It is eight fifty three Bloomberg Update now
with Jeff Balinger. Jeff, what's happening? Well, Good morning, Casey.
Looks like the market has some momentum after ending the last week with a
rally. The futures are higher across the board this morning. DAL futures are
up fifty eight points. Yellow Corporation has shut down. The Teamsters Union was
served legal notice over the weekend that the big trucking company was ceasing operations and
filing for bankruptcy. Yellow has been struggling for a long time. This shutdown
will take about twelve thousand big rigs off the roads, could put up to
a thirty thousand people out of work. The company is reportedly talking to potential
buyers. There are signs the post pandemic air travel boom is fading some Americans.
Direct purchases from major domestic air lines were down across the board in the
second quarter, according to one Bloomberg measure Deciding where you want to live when
you retire can be tough. A lot of personal reasons go into the choice
banquet. Dot com ranks Iowa as the best state for retirees that is based
on the cost of living, the quality of healthcare, and a low crime
rate. Delaware, West Virginia, Missouri, and Mississippi round out the top
five. North Carolina is ranked number thirty one overall worst place to retire in
the US. Alaska homeowners who have decided to pull up stakes and move or
finding it's a real challenge to find an affordable home to move to. Realtors
say there's gridlock in the housing market because so many people bought homes or refinanced
when mortgage infest rates were historically low. Those low rates were an economic gift
to many, but some homeowners feel stuck now. They're not willing to take
on new loans at today's rates, and the casey it won't be long until
Apple takes the wraps off ats iPhone fifteen. Bloomberg's Mark German reports the new
lineup will move Apple a step closer to its goal of an iPhone that is
all screen, no borders around the display, no cutouts, for cameras or
sensors. There will be several other features as well. The coming update will
be the biggest since five G capability was added to the iPhone three years ago.
Casey, all right, well I'll not be in line for that,
so appreciate it. There. What's what kind of phone do you use?
Are you Apple or are you on the Green bubble? Guys? Now,
I'm an Apple. I've got an iPhone thirteen. I'm going to stay with
it probably another year or two. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,
Well talk to you tomorrow, sir, Thank you very much. Okay,
sounds good. Take care. Yeah, well, Ross, I see
what the problem is in the story. You didn't tell me that Frank Thomas
was playing for the US man. I mean that's himmers kid, right,
That kid is a giant, all right, So yeah, this has got
to be tied in with I don't know because they do it regionally, I
don't know, as USA Baseball twelve and under. So this is the best
twelve and under team players whatever in the United States taking on New Zealand.
And it was close in the first inning. I mean we're only up by
three in the first inning. That's you consider that's still a winnable baseball game,
right, oh? Completely, yeah? What's three? Right? Yeah?
Yeah, I can go in a minute. Second inning we scored eleven.
It's now we're up fourteen nothing. Third inning we scored twenty so yeah,
and then fourth inning we scored nine. By the fourth inning where they
was somehow we let him have a run, almost got the shutout. Yeah,
oh I feel bad. Ye, get on the mound, you're you're
upset. Yeah, gave a one hit, one run. It looks like
we had an air. Uh. By the end of the fourth inning,
US was up forty three to one over New Zealand, and they just said,
you know what, we're good, We're out. So Ross was telling
me about this. I hadn't seen the pictures, so they just said,
I just assumed with that score and where it is, it's because they're hobbits.
They're all hobbits. You made that joke, I could in New Zealand.
And then you see the photo of the dude that looks like Frank Thomas,
who apparently is under what twelve, Yeah, yeah, he's twelve or
under, and he's towering above the first basement. It's just like he's a
strip of me. If I'm on first bagas what are you talking about?
Yeah? And he's say he's standing there in the first basement is one of
Froto travel companions, right, dude, they had even look at it.
When he's at home home play with the catcher, you know, the catcher
may stands up, he may be a little closer the kids. The first
basement, I think is just well, actually, no, look at that
picture too, It's not even close. That kid has a Frank Thomas stance
too. Thomas always did that thing where he'd have his hand pulled all the
way over. And then I only know this because I watched a YouTube video
recently where they were going through the different baseball swings and I was really bored,
and I didn't realize how many were unique and had their own name.
So I bet he hit forty two of the forty three run Well how many
hits? Did we even have two hits? Okay? And then they had
five airs, so I'm sure just looked like bad news. He can't win
a game like that. You think that was what was standing in their way?
Some some bloops and a little bloopy bloop, a little bad throw,
just the cutoff guy. I don't know, dude, why are they mercy
rule it? Come on, these kids need to learn adversity. The Dream
Team didn't do that back in the day. There was no mercy rule.
Oh hell no, those scores. Have you ever go look up those scores
during the original Dream Teams run. It's oh, it's bad for the other
guys. Now, these kids, I mean, they got Look, you're
already a hobbit. You're in the middle of nowhere in the ocean.
