Just waiting for something to load. Something I just laid eyes upon this morning,
and I gotta tell you, I got some questions, and I think
that's how we're going to kick off the show today. Wait, what is
this? All right? Why don't you have so and so? You know
what, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it at all. Sorry
to send somebody finally sent an answer to but I thought was a very important
question that they needed an answer to within, like you know, before close
a business. And then I see that they're writing me at three in the
morning. All right, very good. So how many of you are into
cars? How many of you are really into cars? Maybe you had,
maybe you were for part of your life, maybe you were less. So
I got a bunch of friends that are like super into cars. And that's
cool, man, that's a great passion. I was. I was more
so into it when I was like when I was a kid, when I
was in high school. But I think you needed a hobby. And also
back when I was in high school, it was really crazy. So you
could you could without being a master mechanic with you know, one hundred thousand
and tech year, you could work on your vehicle and when I say work
on it, I mean I was a high school kid and we swapped transmissions
out. We took you know, three fifties, it was Chevy's primarily three
fifties, and we could take them apart, put them back together, and
they'd run reasonably and gone are those days. So I think to some extent
I felt a little out of love, which is interesting because obviously I didn't
have access to, you know, a full time job income, so we
kind of had to make do and go to mister rs and you know,
which was a rocking yard where you could buy parts and put together some Frankenstein's
of vehicles. But we had some fun ones. Well, we did My
Buddy Boone Roads truck was great. We I took an old It was me
and a couple buddies. We got an old Ford F one one hundred.
Do you remember when the body and the cab didn't have a separator, so
this is that this back in the sixties, and we put we got a
hold of a four to twenty nine police interceptor that we put in there,
and that was a badass truck. All of this is to say there was
a period of my life when I was really into vehicles, And nowadays I
have some friends that are like really really really really into vehicles and like try
like they have some favorites. Man. And the reason I'm laying this out
for you this morning is not because I wanted to in any way, shape
or form brag. I'm not a master mechanic or somebody. I'm just I
was just a boored kid who was like, hey, what if we put
this ridiculous engine in this light body pickup truck and even have to customize a
Ford nine inch onto the truck to basically keep because the other one blew out?
Like I was super into all that stuff, And I never had sex
with the car, okay, or the truck in this instance, Like you
hear me talk about it, I'm really excited. I missed that truck.
That thing was going to kill me. And in fact, the dude I
sold it to, I think he wrecked it in like six months, but
I never hooked up with it. And this is an important distinction that I
didn't know I was going to have to make Kinston, North Carolina. An
elderly woman. There are so many questions here. An elderly woman says a
man has been using her car and to hook up with for three years.
Okay, Kinston, we're all gonna learn a new word. You ready for
this? Kinston police on Monday arrested Walter McCrae for activity related to mechanophilia.
That's a thing. Raise your hand if you had ever heard the term mechanophilia,
right, there's a there's a there's a clinical term for this. And
I don't just mean some of you who are like way too into your car,
Like, yeah, how many of you have shoes off rule in your
house? You ever met somebody who has a shoes off rule in a car?
I have? He really liked that car, just fine, it's his
car. Never for a moment assumed that I might walk in on him and
uh his scat packed dodge and uh see him getting intimate. This is a
whole new thing for me. Maybe there's just nothing to do in Kinston,
which I know is not true. They had the rest, they got the
great restaurant down there. Yeah, I got the the the the little tourist
trap thing going on there, but it's nice. The eighty two year old
victim tells w I a t N. She doesn't know McCrae and says her
car has also been used as an outhouse because I guess the car is uh,
you know, is into some weird stuff, probably had daddy issue,
I don't know, don't know. But also three years. I then the
number is important here, three years. Three years knowing that while you're sitting
in your house, some lunatic is showing up and hooking up with your buick
or whatever. And I know that, I know it says here that it's
a you know, it's an elderly woman, and I don't know what kind
of support her family she has around her. But three years quote, I
thought something was happening from under the hood of my car, because whenever he
would come up here, he would use the hood to relieve himself, or
at least that's what she thought. In fact, it would run all down,
and I thought it was something with the car. So I took the
car to the shop multiple times. Ooh, how'd you like to be that
mechanic finally figuring out what it is? How'd you like to be that mechanic
who's had this sweet little old lady come in three times. You're like,
ma'am, there's nothing wrong with your car. After you put your grubbies all
over. It probably did that thing that guys do where you open the hood
of a vehicle and you put your hand up on the top of the hood.
You're kind of leaning over giving your diagnosis. Well, it was then,
according to rest warrants, that they determined that you know, what might
be up, and eventually they put cameras out to try to catch what was
happening. Initially they did catch one video where they realized the dude was literally
hooking up with the vehicle and then for the finale would then get up on
top of the hood and yeah, but she said to man also noticed her
cans, but by then it was too late. Police say that they came
they on Monday, took the you know, the recordings, and there you
go. They got pictures in video. He's facing five stocking and five or
five felony stocking counts, five counts of damage to property three years, three
years when you know your creepy neighbors coming by and have it again. I
don't know what kind of support she had around here, but also I hate
that this is a clinical thing, mechanoffhilia, and that I know that now
do you know what is tragically missing? From this story, I think you
can probably figure it out. What's she driving? She got like a Bugatti
or what? All right, Ross, end times every bod he's gone,
right, you're you're basically that dude in the Twilight Zone episode with the now
you got time to read we talked about the other day, But you crave
a relationship? Is there a particular make or model that maybe you're looking into?
And these since you're the only person left the Lambeau for the kids,
it's for the kids, man, I don't well, I guess all the
kids are gone in this scenario. So all right, Ross is going Lambeau,
but he doesn't say what this woman's driving, and I have some questions.
But also three years, three years peking peeking out your you know,
your lace curtains there watching you know, Wheel of Fortune or I'm sorry,
I'm not trying to generalize people who are in their eighties, but there is
a lot of Wheel of Fortune watching. We have the numbers right, and
you're just trying to you know, you're just trying to figure out why Bill
from Pittsburgh's an idiot who doesn't understand that that's a you know, the phrase
from a TV show what a more on? And while you're concerning yourself with
that idiot, you look out your window and there's your neighbor doing only fans
with your car. What the hell is going on in Kinston? All right?
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four yep, with all
the stuff going on in all the world and all the news, that's the
one that I got sent eight copies of. And so many of you are
fascinated as well, but not in a good way, in a why do
I have to know that mcan affilia is a thing? And do you have
to be a mechanic? I guess not. Doesn't say he is, so
I think maybe even that term would be mildly misleading. All right, coming
up on the show, let's see here, all right, So we are
we are dangerously close to getting into idiocracy. Maybe not to the full extent
with Brondo and everything, but it's like every day we're like, what can
we do to be less intellectually taxing on people? Oh? Hey, I
know the irony here is it's actually a brilliant marketing thing. So I'll explain
what's up there. We'll speculate on what's up with Roy Cooper and the Prime
Minister of Japan. They got a thing this week. I have some thoughts.
Now what is this hold on? You know, there are days I
love listening to the show first singing the morning. There are days I regret
listening. Can you guess what this morning is? I would think that this
is a good day. You know, that's not a situation most people have
to deal with, at least that I know of. I mean, yeah,
you get down around Myrtle Beach. There's a guy who will keep hooking
up with your horse, even after going to jail a few times. Same
horse loves that horse. But that's Myrtle. But you know, you don't.
You don't expect this. You don't think you're a hot new you know,
insert whatever. You know. You don't go out and be like,
ah, I got me on, look at this. I finally I finally
decided to embrace my my rich a hole and uh look I got an M
five. And then every morning you come out, you're like, is that
pollen on the hood? Oh that's another thing. That's another thing. How
would you know right now? But if we're getting you know, we're getting
technical. Remember that site in South Carolina, that candidate who thought that the
KKK was putting stuff on her car and it turned out to be Polland oh
yeah, I remember that lifelong resident of South just across the border in South
Carolina. She knows it's polland she knows what happens, and yet you know
it was some sort of hate crime. Well, I present to you,
ma'am, this, this is the actual version of that. So you chicken
little when and this woman is just living in hell for three U three.
Well, also, what if you need to run an errand what if she
got a doctor's appointment and you go out and you're like, car's not ready
anyway? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Holy cow,
that's a story this morning. So there you go. You're very welcome.
And I don't know, maybe somebody's really into cars. You're like,
nas is normal, this is this is not a new thing. Then you
can you can expound upon that. So we'll get into it. Happy Wednesday.
More to come, cac O Day Radio program. CaCO Day Radio program
where you know we're staying on top of what's going on in Kingston. Very
important. We have a few listeners down that away signal reaches, So glad
you're along and glad you don't own a Burgundy two thousand and night Toyota Avalon.
Apparently one of your neighbors has some thoughts. I'll tell you who doesn't
have any thoughts. Although I can't decide. Oh you know what, Actually,
I'm gonna full circle this story with the other story. But I was
just gonna I was just gonna, don let's figure out which of these two
women is the dumbest. And it's gonna be between Sonny houstin from the View
and everybody's favorite soon to be former Houston area lawmaker Sheila Jackson Lee she Jack
as you know her here on the show. Who I mean, we have
a classic she jack library here in the in the Computator and in fact,
let me let me just play you some of the hits. How's that because
there's there's lots to choose from, and and holy crap, are they amazing?
Like let's see here do do Do do? Do? You know?
The short and the sweet ones? I am outraged? All right, A
little voice inflection there kind of makes it funny, but that's that's not fair
that you know she's outraged. She's outraged. Come on, Casey, all
right, Well, let's talk about I don't know her superhero origin story,
shall we? And it's a doozy. Maybe he is no better than the
immigrant that came in shackles like myself. I'm sorry the what think they can't?
Okay, all right, I didn't realize that was the thing. Or
how about during a committee hearing. How about during a committee hearing the correction
that she issues when literally they're just talking about what is a huge problem,
uh, all the way up the eastern seaboard, parts of Alaska too,
and that is the decimation of our fisheries industry. And you know that is
that is a a political football man, whether it's going back under Barack Obama
where they're created. We're creating the largest national park and it just happens to
be this giant swath of ocean that we tried to regulate. You not able
to fish, but now if we do this, then you can't. And
she offered this corrections. Yeah, it's not oystermen, it's oyster persons.
Okay. And then my personal favorite, and for any of you Vietnam War
era vets, you'll appreciate this. Today we have two Vietnams side by side,
North and South exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that
North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. And my favorite
one, but he doesn't have audio. My favorite Shila Jackson Lee dumb moment
story is when and you remember she she repped Houston or reps Houston and Houston
has uh the uh you know, the space NASA control center, right,
So they had her down there and they were showing her this is this,
this is how the story was reported. So she and there's members of the
media there, there's a bunch of muckety much from NASA. I'm sure there's
some other lawmakers and uh, they're they're walking her through, giving her the
big VIP tour and they are showing her the command center for the Mars Rover,
which you know, it's pretty cool, right, Hey, you want
to drive the Mars rover. Who's turning that down? Oh my gosh.
If you're the dude, that dude from the Kingston story, I I don't
even want to think what you want to do with the Mars rovers, sir.
But anyway back to this, and so they were I don't know if
they offered a let her like do it, you know, punch a button
like a kid or something or what. But she had asked whether the rover
it was if they could drive the rover to the Armstrong flag? Do you
want to drive the Mars rover to the flag that was planted by Neil Armstrong?
BI is the mathmath? I know it's early, but one's the moon,
one's the uh yeah. And by the way, as we'll come to
find out in this segment, the Neil Armstrong thing that's that may all be
b us. We'll wait for that, all right. So that's Sheila Jackson
Lee. She's she's got some oldies but some goodies, and she's gonna be
one of our contestants on who's a bigger idiot? And then the other one
will be Sunny haustin from the view. And that audio cuts the deuce and
I, you know, I got this other story about how scrabble is making
scrabbles issuing an idiot version? Did you know this? And I was I
was getting ready to go on this rant about how stupid this is, and
I will explain why. But now I realize why. I guess they're gonna
Mattel's gonna lean into the the morons because there's more of them than I ever
realized, just saying something. All right, So all in due time on
that. Let's get into the Sheila Jackson audio. And here we are,
we're talking talk about the moon, baby, speaking of the moon, speaking
of the moon. Well, if you're Hank Johnson, you're probably feeling good.
You're not in on this. So Sheila Jackson lee is she's is this
a high school? Don't even know who what she's speaking at, just because
she's on like a running track or whatever, I guess she's she's speaking at
a high school. Yeah, here we goes this was part of the eclipse
being part. I couldn't decide if it was a high school or middle school.
So it was a high school, all right. And so she is
shaping young minds. Talking. The topic is the celestial bodies. Please,
if you would, sitting member of Congress, tell us more just provide unique
light and energy the sun so that you have the energy of the moon at
night. Yeah. And sometimes you've heard the word full moon. Sometimes you
need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon.
Is that complete rounded circle that has made up mostly of gases? Web sir?
What and that's why the question. The question is why or how could
we as humans live on the moon. Well, okay, I'm sorry,
and I will I will replay this thing in its entirety. So a A
A an inquiring young mind asked a sitting member of Congress, who is there
speaking to him? That's you know, it's pretty exciting when you're in a
high school. I guess. Yeah, so you realize a bunch of dirtbaks
we've elected into Washington and so you I don't know that to the test scores
at this school, but I gotta think most of the kids now realize that
this is a moron. You've brought a moron. All right, tell us
more about our gases moon, which I guess debunks the Armstrong flag, because
how you're going to get a flag the standing gas right, jet fuel won't
met still beams, and you can't plan a flag on a gas celestial body.
There you go. I'm an Internet conspiracy theorist. I'm sorry. Let's
get back to this cringey moment. Provide unique light and energy so that you
have the energy of the moon at night, and sometimes you've heard the word
full moon. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and
see a full moon? Is that complete rounded circle which is made up more
see of gases. And that's why the question, the question is why or
how could we as humans live on the moon. Are the gases such that
we could do that? The Sun is a mighty powerful heat and it's almost
impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable. How would
the moon be more manageable if it's made of gas? That's it? Which,
by the way, the sun is you know, I didn't make your
gases argument, but the moon. Ye. Are people that summertimes go out
and look at the full moon and they become wolves and we call these people
were wolves. Amer concerned about them, but they're not wearing anything. The
sun is so hot. We cannot go on the sun. We cannot go
on the sun, even even in the dead of winter because it's still hot.
People vote for this, ye, people have voted for her numerous times.
How is this even possible? Like eight or nine times? Right?
More than that, I don't Maybe you just don't want the stupidity to end.
Look, maybe you know the district she sits in. It's it's it's
a you know, it's a heavy d district. So maybe they just assumed,
hey, you know what, uh, let's just let's just do it
for the for the lolls, right, which is kind of like the partially
the Jesse vent turevo. Maybe people watch this stuff and they're like, how
could we not have this woman sitting around like she's you know, like like
she's smarter than us, explaining about the moon being made of gases, which,
by the way, gas cheese. That's some science I'm I'm willing to
invest in, all right, So that's pretty dumb, right, And on
a normal day, on a normal day, I think that would be the
dumbest piece of audio we have on a normal day. But today's not a
normal day. It's a competitive day. So here we go Gladiator number two
into the arena. Sunny Houstin Hostin however, you say her name from the
view who took a trend we saw yesterday and you know where you had like
NBC New York like does the earthquake related to climate change? Right? Took
that stupidity and went, you know what, I'm doubling down. You know,
no, I'm tripling down on this. So here we go. Here
is Sonny Houstin who is in real time being fact checked even with its if
it's just their eyes by all the rest of these idiots at the table and
not coming out on top, please give us your hot take and listen to
Whoopee trying to talk about anything but this. I mean, I have to
say, Karen Depice are one, oh my God, for makeup artists.
When the earthquake was happening, she put her coat on and she was like,
Jesus has come. I'm now, I'm I'm out, I'm leaving.
We've got a solar eclipse, We've got random the hallway there are here.
And then also I learned that the cicadas are coming. Cicadas cicadas the first
time in No No, and by the way they're they're trying to do it
from an affection standpoint, but they're clearly they're clearly a they're clearly mocking this
woman, or at least they're mocking people who believe what this woman believes.
Right with their makeup artists, I know, slightly tongue in cheek, but
I think if they were in a room just the you know, just like
two of them, and they you heard what they really thought of it,
it wouldn't be very pleasant. So understand them thinking that their makeup artist is
a misinformed idiot. Okay, and let's continue. Two different Well, this
is what I read, two different times, different kinds of different times.
Times are coming for the first time in many many years, every seventeen years
has happened. Well that's not what I read. But maybe you know,
maybe you know better. They're literally the brudes. Do you know what their
names are? Numbers? Their names are numbers that are the number of years
that they just stayed in the ground. But she read something in a way
say all those all those things together, what maybe lead one to believe that,
you know, either climate change exists or something is more's quite not at
the mercy of climate change, it's not found. Then think that it happens
in the eclipse. They've known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happened, and
they actually can say when these things are going to happen. So all these
folks who are saying, you know, it's a sign from God. God
doesn't give you warning, all right, So and again they're they're hung up
on the God part of this. Your co host just said, or just
explain that she thinks that the following things are the result of climate change.
Soicatas that we've never seen before apparently or you know once like, uh we
have we have seen we haven't seen them since they fell from the sky in
Egypt. That's true. Yeah, maybe you read something more than I did.
I'm not sure. You probably read something I didn't read. But also
yeah, well if you if you read something well and I kind of walked
over what piece a little comment in there? Did you catch that? I
know you gought it because oh no, it's such a great moment. Yeah,
because you know, Sunny Hosting goes, well, maybe you've read something
I ever read, and he goes, well, yeah kind of yeah,
and in a way, so uh so, uh Sicata's climate change. Just
I don't want to make sure I have this clear. Socicata's climate change,
earthquakes, climate change? And how does she also not know? Can you
imagine the amount of which cred that this woman would think you're capable of if
you literally just plotted out and predicted eclipses like I believe that we'll have another
one in five years in May, And she's like, ah, you're a
you know, it's probably try to burn you at the stake, not realizing
you know, we got math here. So in one diatribe of a minute,
she chalks eclipses, earthquakes and scatas as she calls them up to up
to climate change. How do you pick a winner here? I mean,
you're a special kind of stupid if you've lost to Wiopi Goldberg and Joy Bahar.
Yeah. But Sheila Jackson Lee, though it's tough, all right,
Hey, all right, you want to make it tougher, Sheila Jackson Lee,
and thank you for reminding me of this. One of her congressional assignments
for the majority of her congressional career was a ranking member on the House Committee
of Science, Space and Technology. She's the highest ranking Democrat on Science,
Space and Technology. And she thinks the moon is made of gas. I
saw some people think she's like, oh, well she was. Yeah.
They were trying to explain away what she told the kids, and it's like,
it's just not happening. But it is damn entertaining. The problem is
it's real and not a far superior version of basically what they're just saying.
Should I rub pig's blood around the door if it's lamb's blood sir, obviously
you don't love your kids if you're not getting this right. So at least
the oldest all right, six point fifty hang on CODA radio program a Wednesday
edition where we're having an idiot off today. So that's fun. No,
you don't have to be dumb to participate. You just have to be equally
as amused you encounter it, like when a decades long member of Congress wants
to tell you about how the moon's mostly gas or or already on the flip
side, a TV host wants to tell you that cicadas, eclipses, and
earthquakes are climate change connected. It's really hard to pick a winner, and
I'm going to make it even more complex here in a moment, but let
me grab a call real quick. Sarah, thanks for hanging on. What's
up? Hi? So I wanted to comment on the moron that was talking
about the moon, all right? That would be the congresswoman talking about the
book. Yes, yes, yes, yes, So I couldn't help.
But think of Bobby Bouche's mom when you were telling that whole segment. I
think Bobby Bouchet's mom had some good advice. I don't feel that this woman
dies. She just loved her so right, this this woman is Yeah,
so like I can forgive the one and to be fair, that girl,
that girl did look like trouble, right, you would agree, true?
True, yeah very much? All right? Yeah yeah, so all right,
thanks for to call there, Sarah. Yeah, I can't. I
can't. That's not fair. Ross you think that's fair throwing Bobby Bouchet's poor
loving mother in with this this idiot. I mean, I gotta give it
to Sarah. It's hilarious. Yeah, eclipses other devil, Bobby Bouchet it
right, But Sakata is a John Saccatta Cicada. Sakata is there all the
devil Bobby love it. Yeah, but like you could, you could scientifically
explain why eclipses are not climate change related the devil thing. That's an open
ended question, you know what I'm saying, Right, that depends on your
faith. But no, that is a is a good comparison. Uh and
you know what, I'm gonna throw one other in here. This is so
bad. I just retweeted this. Did you see the photograph that the US
Navy's Uh I guess it was under in Instagram? Yeah, so the US
Navy just they just posted a picture trying to look for rank in this photo?
Is that the CEO? That is the CEO of the ship. So
they posted a photo and even if you're not a gun guy, you're gonna
figure this out in two seconds. They posted a photo of uh, you
know, one of their one of their ship captains. He is on deck
and he's got himself a he's got himself a rifle, right, and it's
that he's firing the rounds and you can actually see the shell casings ejecting into
the air above it, and he's kind of firing out. I don't know
if he's firing it at a a Somali pirates, Iranian Iranian Iranian, a
hole or a sea turtle, say hear pop kidding? All right, maybe
the sea turtle should have been trying to eat those straws. I don't know
the problem is, and I have I have an abundant amount of questions.
One the way that he's holding that weapon. I do like the hand on
his shoulder for support kind of coming in from off there. And two that
scopes backwards. Yeah, he was firing at the eclipse revers it so we
didn't burn out his eyes you know what. Now, I feel like the
dumb one not knowing that. Right, So if you backwards mount your scope
and then you can look at the eclipse and it won't be a problem.
Is that Is that your advice from doctor Hayes this morning? Because I feel
like that's not good advice. I feel like that's still gonna be a problem.
But you're the highest ranking officer on this ship and you are like you
ever looked into a scope backwards or a scope or something, maybe if you've
never shot a gun. You're put binoculars backwards. Everyone knows what happens.
You immediately know, and then they put it out as some sort of like,
I guess, in a recruitment effort, like hey, look how cool
this is. You can stand on the deck and shoot at the eclipse with
him. We're surrounded by stupid. So now the scrabble thing it makes sense.
I wonder how many eyeballs went on that because you think, oh,
this guy took the picture, he just loaded the instant. No no,
no, no, no, no, that's not how government bureaucracy works.
That photo. The number of eyeballs it had to be on that thing before
it got posted and nobody went, wait, what's how what that looks dumb?
Let's take another never cross anyone's mind. And that guy's in charge of
where they're going, what they're you know, not running into I'm sure,
I'm sure he's a fine dude and probably didn't want to do the photo the
photo shoot anyway, and he's walked down, so we handed them the rifle.
He popped off a few rounds, walked off, probably didn't even glance
down the scope. But still, come on, because now you're like,
that's the guy driving the boat due when you're making the Marines that you're driving
around nervous. Come on, man. So I retweeted that at Casey on
the radio, all right, oh we gotta all right, so Wesley wants
to cast a vote on our stupid off. Yes, Wesley, what's up?
Hey? How you doing today? Casey? I mean, we're a
nation being run by idiots. But other than that, sir, go ahead.
Absolutely, the fact that the that the view is still on the air
with with people like this, that I think that they have important information to
give to anyone is beyond me. And I just wanted to say that when
she broke in and said God given you warning. He's given us the warning
right now. They're the warning, do not listen to these people, turn
away from that crap and search for the truth. I mean, yeah,
well, don't listen to them for truth, sir, but feel free to
listen to him in the same way you'd stare at a car wreck on the
way to work this morning. So oh absolutely, I'm driving the beltline right
now, and I'm just hoping that maybe one of these scruble will take me
out so I don't have to hear this crap anymore. Yeah, well,
come on, sir, don't take because I feel you're telling people to turn
the show off, and now I have to let you go, So all
right, don't do that. They'll listen. Wesley's Wesley's a new contestant and
our dumb off because he just told you to turn the show off. And
you should never do that. What you should do is rush out to get
the new scrabble scrabble again. Scrabble is a game that is inherently waited,
already waited already in that way. It's it's it's a perfectly adaptable game.
Your five year olds, they may not want to because they're five, but
feasibly they can have a functional, weighted game of scrabble with each other in
the same way that two English professors over at NC State could, right,
because it's not about it's not about the totality of possibilities. It's in the
in the sense that you know, some super hard word, may you may
just be able to spin it into existence or roll some dice. That's not
how scrabble works. You get the letters and then whatever you bring to the
party, brain wise, spelling wise, that's what you're expected to use.
And then the other person can call you on it and you can't check.
And you know how scrabble works. It ain't broken, but apparently it is.
And I think that this is Mattel sitting there going how do we sell
to idiots? And people went, well, let's make a game that is
for idiots, and then the idiots will want to play it. So that's
what they're doing. For the first time. It's seventy five years. Mattel
will be making major changes, offering a version of Scrabble that they tout as
a no more scoring gameplay option. We'll now wait a second, you don't
have to score. Now, there's not the score police don't show up.
If you just want to casually play through the letters and have a little time
with you know, whoever you're playing with, that's fine, you can do
that. The new double sided version of the game will include one side with
the original game for those who you know want to play scrabble, and on
the other side will be a less competitive version that they say will appeal to
gen z gamers. How insulting for you. The flip side called Scrabble Together
will include helper cards. Come on, what is a helper card? Car?
What could you put on a card that is not literally just the answers,
but it would have to be customized based on the letters you have in
your in your collection. There, So, what does the helper card do?
Is it just like a written version of like the celebrity Jeopardy things where
they're you know, tribec or I guess Will Ferrell's like, just make a
sound, just make a sack, because it feels like that. The scoring
system will be simpler, it'll be quicker to play and allow people to play
in teams. All right, here we go, Giles Brandreth. This dude's
British all day, Giles Brandreth. Anyway, let's see, he says,
scrabble found the younger people, specifically gen Z don't like the competitive nature of
scrabble. That's because we're breeding competition out of everybody. Everybody gets a trophy.
Let's not keep score. Yeah you did well, but this person didn't.
And even though it was a fair thing and we used to know how
to deal with us, you should apologize. Of course, they don't want
anything to do with scrabble with competitive scorekeeping. Uh. And use the word
diversity in here somewhere, hold on, I scrabbled together continues to celebrate the
wonder of words, but thanks to exciting new, cooperative and dynamic. So
that's what that's what this is about. They've realized, or at least they're
they're convinced that a there is a whole swath of people that unless there's five
of them working together, can't spell a word. Naysayers on social media started
referring to it as scrabble for snowflakes. It woke scrabble, Yeah yeah,
because it kind of sounds like that. And you referred to it as quote
a more inclusive version. That's the word they use. Inclusive. You know,
like people are sitting down to scrabble right now, they get out the
rules and they're like, oh, I'm sorry, John, you can't play
with us, says right here, it says no black people. No,
it doesn't. It's scrabble. You can. There's not an inclusivity issue.
The only people who could feel is though, if you get the Scrabble out
that it's not inclusive, are native Russian speakers or any of the Asian languages
that utilize their own alphabets, right because you are restricted to you know,
the standard twenty six letter alphabet. There's no cyrillic in there. But I
but you know they have versions. They have a Russian version of this.
Uh, what is the Chinese version? Well, they probably use the simplified
alphabet because if not, the box would be that it looks like a car
would be in it. Oh, that's interesting. So the release of the
new Scrabble will take place strictly in Europe at first, because Mattel actually licenses
the Scrabble Branda Hasbro, and Hasbro wants to see how Mittel's release goes there.
New research found that almost half of Scrabble players have attempted to make up
a new word to try to win a game. Yeah, that's but that's
part of the game, right Again, you don't have to change anything here.
But I think they realize, Hey, if we're going to do a
version for stupid people, but will make it sound like it's fun and not
wildly insulting on how much we're dumbing it down, then the stupid people will
come because haha, they're stupid. In fact, Sheila Jackson Lee just bought
three copies, so there you go. It worked. Yeah, John,
what's up? I do them? You know everyone's getting dumbers, so I
feel better. Everyone's getting stupid around me. Well, I have to take
a sense with something. You guys are being disingenuous about the wonderful, intelligent,
audible Shoela Jackson Lee. Okay, she said you can go close to
the moon. You go close to the moon. What's the part she left
out is it has to be at nighttime, and if you go during the
winter time, the nights are longer. She can spend more time there.
I mean, I think that her car ally g and buzz Alder and I
think they laid that out for us. Sir, Well, you do have
a point, But she was talking about going at nighttime just remember allocating where
all of the tech money went for space travel. Anyway, go ahead,
I was saying. On another note, a dad joke for you about the
Moon. Do you hear about the restaurant on the Moon? Is it?
Okay? No? No, I didn't go ahead, all right, great
restaurant in horrible atmosphere, dad joke for you. Well, how does the
how does how are they able to build a restaurant on gas? Or?
Hey, are you in the construction industry? Are you an't? Don't tell
anybody, it's the secret. Okay, all right, get out here,
sir. That's I mean, that's what I'd be wondering. I guess maybe
you get whatever they were using on the ad of the Avatar movies to make
the islands float. Yeah, space you can do that. You just grab
onto this stuff, all right. So Sheila Jactually Sunny Austin. We got
the videos at Casey on the Radio. If you go to Casey on the
Radio dot com, aget the shoe jack video embedded on the website, but
also we've tweeted out links and then you can see the naval officer with the
radical issue the scope. How does the scope even end up on backwards on
a on a service weapon in a military setting, or is that that's is
that some prank? Is that some you know, behind the scenes military prank
where you jack with another guy's rifle and make sure you use the term rifle
because that is for shooting and not gun, which is for fun, as
I think that many of you have probably learned. So there you go.
I'll put all three of those folks in. You can figure out who the
I give. Again, I'm gonna give the Navy guy the fact the benefit
of the doubt that he walked up to do a photo op he didn't want
to do. Somebody handed him a rifle. He went blam blam. They
got the photo and then he walked off, you know, to do ship
captain stuff. But still not a good look man, all right? Seven
to twenty three? Hang on, dude, this is just this is so
uncomfortable. Man, all right, but we have to give it a mention.
So Ben affleck Mary do j lo. I guess again, any who
was hold on, I go figure out which grandfather it is, if it's
his dad, or here we go. So it was, oh, okay,
so it was service for Jennifer Garner's father, his ex Okay, all
right, all right, So anyway, this is Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck,
you know, their middle child. Obviously they're no longer together. He's
with j Lo. I don't get it. I think Garner's better, but
whatever. The fifteen year old, their middle child, was at the funeral
with the family for the late William Garner, Jennifer Garner's father, and as
part of the service, stepped forward at fifteen to address those in attendance,
which you know, for a fifteen year old, so I'd be pretty daunting,
especially in that scenario. Let's see, the fifteen year old, known
as Sarah Fina Rose, took the opportunity not to talk about her grandfather who
had passed away, which brought about this memorial service, but rather to use
the opportunity to come out as transgender at the funeral during their portion of the
eulogy. Hi, my name is Finn Affleck, the teen said, after
stepping up to the lectern at the service, Finn talked about how they are
transgender now identify as I believe they them. Again, this is a eulogy
with a bunch of people in a service, many of them emotionally taxed,
to say the very least, just trying to make the best of the situation,
which in the long run, you know, you can find cathartic,
but at the time as an emotional roller coaster. And Affleck even went so
far as to pull Bible verses in support of the New Life decision, including
the beginning to read a Bible verse. Better is a little with righteousness than
a large income with injustice? And yeah, who does this? There's two
things that I will never understand. One people go to a funeral and turn
it into a not a funeral, right, so it can be like this,
which I just can't wrap my head around. It could be like we
talked about the Paul well stone that said the former senator in Minnesota, or
the funeral that was you know, given free airtime on all the TV networks,
turned into a Democrat rally. Right, But like that, even that's
more understanding to me because those people are just slugs and they can't help it.
This is a fifteen year old who stepped forward to tell everyone their their
news. And then the other one is people who go to other people's weddings
to announce their own. I've never actually seen it, but you know,
I see it show up on social media, so I know it's happening.
Also, Jennifer Lopez, one of Lopez's twins I believe is transgender. So
already the percentage of transgender kids in that household, is it like twenty five
percent or something. That's amazing. And in fact, if you go into
West Hollywood, all of these stars kids go, it's like a third of
the a third of the schools or LGBT. So that's weird. Huh weird
how that all masks together in that area. But holy crap, man,
how do you decide that that. I guess you do it because you're fifteen,
and when you're fifteen, ever, whatever you're dealing with, whatever your
thing is, is the most important thing in the world. I was a
fifteen year old. I know how the brain works. But even then,
I can't imagine hijacking a loved one's funeral for my own thing, like do
it at the mixer after or something. But ah, just gross, man,
But there you go, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four dude, Speaking of some political nimrods, Things going well
within our various divisions of government, including at the Department of Interior, who
arguably has a lot going on as the Biden administration. One of the things
they immediately did is basically undoe the Trump administration from I don't know, listening
to the people who live in these areas. Let me tell you, let
me tell you the greatest, my greatest beef. And you can localize this
beef as well. But this is my version of it, right because you
can localize this as a lifelong resident of Derrick County with a bunch of people
who never go to the beach telling you what to do. All right,
they can be frustrated to understand it. But let me tell you when you
live out west, especially when you live out out west in the open,
the wide open areas lands that in many cases it is the very families that
continue to work it today, like my family who can trace their lineage back
to the settlement of you know, the wild West man and the utilization of
those lands which initially there was there was rules and people homesteaded accordingly, and
then the federal government came in and basically took a bunch of it back.
Later after the human shields that were Western settlers in that area did all the
heavy lifting of essentially, you know, putting together, putting together these huge
swaths of land and limiting the native's influence over it. That's what they used
homesteaders for. Case you're wondering along the trails, the Bozeman, the Oregon
and you know many others probably never heard of. That was the reasoning there.
That's why they built these forts. Okay, and ever since then,
listening to bureaucrats in Washington come out and go, I think this fifty thousand
acres that we just want the we just don't like drilling, so we're gonna
make it undrillable. We're gonna make this a protected park. And then everybody
who lives in that area is like, dude, because this is in Utah
we're talking about with barriers. If you go to Utah, Southern Utah has
nine National parks or monuments, I believe it's nine. No, it's nine.
With this, they had eight, and there's some of the most amazing
things you'll ever see. If you'd never if you ever go anywhere, even
being a Wyoming guide, I want you to go to Yellowstone. But if
that, if you have the time, you should do Yellowstone. You should
do Glacier to Yellowstone to Bryce Canyon. So that'll get you Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho, and Utah, excuse me, perfectly doable, and you can
go. You can make the Grand Canyon the final thing. And then along
that way, along that route you got you know, you go to Mount
Rushwarts along the way, Grand Tetons are on the way. You got options.
Obviously Utah has got many men the other options. Go do that.
But the big open areas in the middle where mostly it's cows, and then
mostly it's not cows, just wide open space. That's not what that is.
That's not what you need to be out there protecting. So as the
Biden administration is working on re implementing the thing the Obama administration did that nobody
in the area wanted, and the Trump administration did undo for a little while,
that's not seemingly the core focus over at the Department of Interior, and
in fact, a leaked video of one of their gatherings is it's a doozy
man. It is an absolute dude. And by the way, there will
even be tears, emotional tears. So coming up here in just a few
we will listen in as part of the Department of Interiors ALLY Awards. Yes,
the federal agency has their her own ALLY Awards. These are awards for
diversity, equity and inclusion items. So it's the WOKE awards put on by
the Department of the Interior. And just wait for it, man, it's
it's coming up. But first race stage A key's here, Hello, and
he's gonna make it yeal with a little rain. But yeah, not for
long. So no in and out. One batch she's coming through. Just
getting ready. If you're not in it yet, Winston Salem, you will
be in the next hour, Greensboro. Then across the triangle, I've got
this one round of shower start to come in this afternoon. I might see
some thunderstorms. We're gonna do this like in batches or in rounds. We
get this kind of little main small piece to come out ahead of the main
line most of the afternoon. We've actually end up more spotty than anything else.
And then as we head through the overnight hours tonight and then through tomorrow
morning, another batch of rain and thunderstorms to come on, and there could
be some strong storms in some spots. Looks like the worst of it's going
to be about ten Tomorrow morning until early afternoon and then tapering off a little
bit, just isolated showers and utter showers, So a little unsettled over the
next couple of days. Today's highs likely in the mid upper seventies, Tomorrow
in the low seventies. It'll be a little breezy, even outside of thunderstorms.
That's will continue into Thursday night, but the sun's going to be back,
and I think I started mentioning this yesterday. Once we get into Friday,
although a little breezy, it's going to be sunny in near seventy,
then a long run of sunshine that will likely take us through Saturday, Sunday
Monday, maybe even longer with a warm up Saturday load to mid seventies,
could crack eighty maybe the low eighties Sunday load of mid eighties on Monday,
so starting to get into the multiple day in a row thing of eighty plus
degree temperatures right into maybe even Tuesday of next week. So I had at
least plan on some wet weather today tonight and on into tomorrow and Tomorrow night,
most of it coming tomorrow and tomorrow night, and then some great weather.
The payoff is going to be fantastic. Now for Augusta, the update
from where we were yesterday does not look like we're gonna have all day rain.
However, thank you. The line of showers and the heaviest rain and
thunderstorms goes through and by you know, eight or nine o'clock most of it's
done and just some spotty showers thunder showers for the rest of the day.
So maybe a little delay and getting started, but I think for the most
part, once you get through tomorrow morning, things improving and some beautiful weather
for Augusta for the rest of the weekend. What do you think Tiger's chances
are. I saw that Zero wrote a whole piece and they're like, get
over it, and I'm like, I don't know. I used to think
that, and then what he won with like four years ago. Nah,
Dad, it's over. Yeah he did. But I I think it's a
technical course. Man, it's not you know, this isn't bad age,
right, Yeah, I don't do I think he makes the cut. I
would bet that he probably does, but I mean, I don't think he's
gonna win, So I don't know. I'm just that So I'm asking because
they the New York Post thing, I read this morning. They were just
a brutal on the guy, and I'm like, were they? Yeah,
I don't know. Somebody showed up drunk and won the open, So all
right that ended? Why right? Yeah? Yeah? I love that guy,
all right. And I also love the memes for the you know,
there's that there's that Tiger, and there's that's that picture, the famous photo
of Tiger Woods on the putting green with John Daly and Tiger's dressed in his
like country club best and Daily's wearing those the really loud shirts and pants,
smoking a cigar. He can tell he's probably a little lit. And they
had it, said m C State and Duke going back to the that game
a few weeks ago, and I thought, no, that's that's perfect.
I'll let you guess who NC State is. All right, thank you,
Tiger hater, get out of here, all right, all right, there
you go. All right, So I did the big setup up on the
Department of Interior, and trust me, the payoff is so worth it.
And it's coming up next. Hang on, here we go into diversity,
equity and inclusion on your dime. Now, look, don't get me wrong,
when you're talking about a big entity whether it's a corporate entity or you
know, the Department of Interior or the IRS or you know, pick your
government entity. You know you're going to have and I don't begrudge this.
You're going to have the corporate atmosphere stuff that goes with it, right,
So you know there's going to be times when there's events where people are paying
attention to work per se, they're doing training, or they're having fun.
You know, it's the end of the year. Whatever, that's fine,
I got it. That being said, this I the waste of time here
is truly amazing. And what's important to know is the ALLY Awards, which
is the Federal Agencies Diversity, Equity and Inclusion annual award show. They actually
do it virtually, so it's a teams meeting, which I don't know why,
but that's somehow that sounds more horrible if you think about it. And
I got to tell you, I was thinking to my mind, do I
want to do a two hour long diversity award show with my coworkers on a
zoom meeting or let's see a two hour raw, raw meeting about where we're
headed this year and then it's all about everyone else, but not you,
all right, So on the grand scale of teams meetings that you don't want
to go to, on a scale of one to ten, one being I'll
set my video to off, but my avatar will be there and I'll just
be in the vicinity so I can kind of hear what's going on too.
I'd rather go feet burst into a wood chipper. Where does a two hour
mandatory diversity Awards show zoom meeting factor in? Because, damn ross you going
to this team's meeting. I know how I was looking forward to it,
but I looked at my calendar. I'm busy. I'm just too You're too
busy for the mandatory two hour diversity Awards show. It's it's upsetting because what
is it? Mandatory two hour diversity? I trained, It's my passion and
I was ready for Yeah, this is the awards right that I would have
won. I'm sorry, I can't make it. Well, it's because you're
not a poet, and I kid you not. So the event opens up
with one of the employees who did a video video themselves doing a poem.
Just all right, So here is the I guess the awards host. Now
we would like to share a poem entitled I Am diversity story behind this is.
We discovered this several years ago when we were designing a interior toast Master
slash diversity change Agent poetry. Okay, I got a question, So wait
a secon. So you're doing a toast how in the wokest of woke eras
that we live in with everybody butt heurd over micro aggressions, could you possibly
put a toast master's roast masters style format together in an employee setting? That
sounds like an absolute recipe for disaster. I watched one of the roasts at
a comedy club up in New York that it sounds in YouTube and like three
of the comics are getting butt hurt because they thought that some of the some
of the jokes were problematic, like if you can't even do that in a
comedy club setting, what are you talking about? Murham? And that we
were so moved by it. We since decided to incorporate that and really resonates
and it echoes a lot of the themes that we learned about this week.
This is by Charles Benefield. Here we go, and what you're about to
see is a video of BOEM Investing employees who participated in a recording and a
recitation of this poem. Please enjoy. Let's recap this show thus far.
Guy likes sexy time with cars. Grabble says people are stupid the view stuff.
The Navy's not the ground fighting for Oh it's one guy's got a rifle
backwards her scope. God help us. You have the rifle backwards, and
you like to make frank constructs frankin trucks. This is not a best stuff.
I think it's been a fun show. What are you talking about,
sir? We have even got to the diversity poem. You get to suffer
through, Wow, a mandatory two hour online woke fest. I'd rather gouge
my left eye out with it. Well why not, both sir? And
he could be like, I have a medical emergency. You could dip out,
all right. So this is run the Department of the Interior. This
is their online ally awards where everybody gets to spend a couple hours or whatever
I did. I don't know if it was a couple hours. It was
ninety minutes, but whatever. Listening to diversity, you know their co workers
get diversity awards, and you know, the funny thing is, and I've
seen we did a story for gosh, one of the one of the investment
banks up in New York, I can't remember which one it is. And
they had they have DEI Awards too, which is this is the thing.
These ALLY awards are a thing that happens in some corporate settings, government settings.
They're not new. And they had like all the people who had won
the award up there and no, but there's no white people. And it's
like, well, that's weird. These are your ALLY awards, i e.
Your diversity awards and awards, and there's no diversity among the award winners.
That's so strange. But here I don't know what the full tally was.
But if if if this was in the the opening portion of the award
show, I don't know how the hell I'd make the rest of it.
All right, let's go ahead with our diversity poem from the people are supposed
to basically make sure you're not getting gored by buffalo and screwing ranch grazing permits
that are over one hundred years old. That's literally something we went through.
So with that in mind, let's get to it. Go right ahead.
I am diversity, please. I didn't add this music. By the way,
they video recorded this, so this is part of the presentation. I
am diversity, Please include me. I'm present in every place you go,
depending on your lens, I'm friend or foe. I'm forced to do a
coug with like the winds of change, I move, I'm swift. I'm
present with two or more together. If I embraced, I can make the
good even better. I'm not limited to age, gender, or race.
I'm invisible at times, and yet all over the place exclude me due to
a lot of knowledge. Welcome me like the recruit fresh out of college.
Let me take my seat at the table, even though I may be differently
able, My experience, my posture to a count to me can help add
value for your company. None about me improve my underrepresentation, and I can.
By the way, we'll continue, Are you guys feeling more diverse and
welcoming, intolerant and open or are you starting to understand what a giant waste
of time this is? And for some reason, I'm getting the same.
I'm having the same emotional reaction that I did watching all of those Hollywood idiots
sing imagine from their luxury supermansions, and I don't know why that is.
I guess it must be my lens. As the one guy said, provide
a competitive edge to your entire nation. I exclude no one. I am
strengthened by all. My name is diversity, and yes I stand tall.
You me and keep what if you don't? What if you're short? You
see how inherently undiverse it is for you to always stand tall? What about
the short kings or whatever the term is the kids use See you're inherently not
being diverse. You're busted. Your whole poem is bs in the mix together.
There's no problem that we can't fix on your What if I told you?
We're not even halfway through this, and it feels like this has been
two segments. That's help points through innovation and to many, I reflect hope
and inspiration. Your lives and companies will continue to change. Thus the need
for diversity and the inclusion will also remain. Do all that you can to
truly embrace me an experience life fullness totally. I'm the thought working behind the
and familiar face. I'm the ingenuity that helps your team within the race.
I'm the solution that came from an odd question that was asked. I stand
out in the you know what I'm going to I'm gonna cut you off the
hook for the last thirty seconds because I feel like half our audiences in their
garage with the vehicle on. And I get it. What I don't get
is how this is a poem. If it is, it's a really bad
poem. Are you listening to it? And by the way, before you
come at me like what do you know about poetry? I will have you
know that my English, my first English elective class in college was poetry,
not because I wanted to take poetry, but because with the way my schedule
worked and the way that I you know, they test you in on which
class or which section of classes you should be at. My options were Shakespeare
and poetry, and they were right across the hall from each other. And
I initially signed up for Shakespeare, and then I noticed in the poetry room
it's like forty girls and like three dudes. So I took poetry. Those
girls are angsty, tell you that, but whatever, And you know,
did a whole thing on Robert Browning and ed Grallan Poe and all of that.
So that's great. So yes, I feel qualified to sit here and
go not only is this a waste of everybody's time, but it's not good.
It's not even like there's movies out there that are really good that obviously
I've woke messaging in it, and then you tend to overlook it because you
like to it's a great movie. You ain't got none of that going for
you here, sorry, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. So that was the first thing I said. I was
going to tell you. Now on to Joe Biden, who had a bold
claim yesterday while giving a speech. Here we go, I, like an
awful lot of people in this audience had was the first in my family to
go to college and watch my dad struggle to help me get there, and
what okay, And look, I've heard people you know that that storyline,
that narrative. There's a lot of inspirational stories over the years that we've talked
about a lot of especially for diversity folks. One of the favorites of diversity
folks is, hey, let's you know, this is the first person to
go to college in the family. They're an immigrant family. You know,
one of those narratives right there, And that's fine, and that's a great
accomplishment because it's hard, and it's harder than ever to go to college,
even though they'll give you one hundred and fifty thousand dollars loan for a career
that pays thirty thousand a year. But you know, justifying that and being
able to actually do that is just not a reality for a lot of people,
and for some people it's not a reality they want as they've decided that,
you know, on the job training, apprenticeship or a technical schooling may
be more lucrative and based on what it costs to get a skilled handyman to
your house right now, they're probably not wrong. Crazy, that's if you
get him to show up. Oh so why is that a problem. Well,
let's let's debunk Joe Biden with I don't know, Joe Biden, my
grandfather finniggers granpould really be proud of me right now. No, I'm not
joking. He would father. He's an All American football player, John and
Santa Clara. Yeah, so, just for those who don't know, what
do you say all American football player and then you know, you say at
a particular university. Some people see that as your grandfather went to college.
Yes, yes. He literally has talked about his grandfather going to college on
numerous occasions, and then as part of this speech talks about how he's the
first in his family to go to college. Every day is an absolute adventure.
Tell you what, man? All right, So what's our governor Bruin
with the VITE or the the MP or the PM excuse me from from Japan.
Well, there's a lot of speculation. I think we have some insight
info though, I'll share with you next. Hang on, we were talking
about the Masters here and Tiger Woods, just because New York Posts was just
like they were all up ontom like what are you doing, dude, And
I would just say, you know, it's the It's Augusta. Don't get
me wrong. There's a couple holes where having his old distance is a big
deal, especially as you start climbing the hill on the back nine there.
You don't realize, by the way, until you're actually at the course,
how steep up that slope is on the closing holes well down and then up.
I mean, it's a it's a legit valley, and you know,
so having distance to get across and maintain certain elevation for your proach shot the
couple holes where that's super important. But other than that, man, it's
you carve that course up specially special when you're going through about you know,
hole seven through about thirteen, or especially in the back time where you're quote
making the turn there through all the pretty flowers are for those casual watchers like
that. Ain't a distance thing. That's about being dialed in. So I
don't know, we'll see Ross. You got a favorite for the Uh,
you got somebody you're rooting for in the Masters? Yeah, I mean the
same thing on Lee Trevino. First of all, no, he's not playing
you know that, right, He's not in it. And by the way,
Lee Trevino and the Masters have a they got a weird history. The
only reason I know Lee Trevino was because back in the day, I can't
remember if it was something like the NES or the SNS, but it was
like that was the golf game I played. And then Trevino was also in
Happy Gilmour, which, by the way, he like denounced Did you know
that? No, I had no idea, Yeah, he so he did.
If you remember in Happy Gilmour, he only has like one line in
it, but basically he's in every every moment where Happy Gilmore Adam Sandler's character
is having a meltdown, there's always a cut shot to Trevino watching him and
shaking his head right, and then I think he corrects Shooter McGavin. And
so he was in that movie, and you know, his cameo, obviously,
Bob Barker's cameo is the winner as far as cameos go. But his
beef wasn't that he was mad because he doesn't swear, and he said he
was upset because they led him to believe that there wouldn't be a lot of
obscenity in the movie. And I'm like, you're in the scenes where he's
yelling obscenities. What did you think they were gonna fix that in post right?
What did you think was gonna happen there? So that was weird,
But the masters Trevino got butt hurt, like back in the day. Here's
a couple things about Trevino because people argue about where he is. He's well,
first of all, he's in his mid eighties, so he ain't playing
tomorrow. But you know, Trevino didn't initially get to start playing golf Veno
when he was coming out of high school and into college he joined the Marines.
So arguably a guy who people argue whether he's in the top ten or
just outside. That's usually the Trevino argument. He had, you know,
five or six less years. I think he did six years in or something.
He had five or six less years where of you know what, it's
kind of peaked time for a lot of golfers, and still managed to win.
See he won two British, two US two PGA championships, but never
a Master's And he actually boycotted the Masters because he he felt it was too
stuffy, and I think the first time he played, he wasn't a player
in he was in some other way and they didn't give him a locker because
they have all sorts of weird traditions and so like he had. He couldn't
get a locker in the main clubhouse. I do remember what it was,
and they made him enter through the kitchen one day, although they dispute that.
And then he said that the Masters was and so he didn't go for
years and then I eventually he did go, but he never won a Master's,
never put he won the other three, never got the discount for olive
Garden as they stack around Augusta. We've talked about this before in the show.
You win the green jacket and you put it on and you walk in
like the restaurants around the area. You get like twenty five percent off at
Olive Guard, and you get ten percent off at Red Lobster, like like
ten fifty percent of Applebee's. Yeah, and they stack. So if you
wear multiple jackets, you like twenty five foot and you get like a free
meal. So speaking of things that are you know, part of the lore
and or completely made up, I'll let you decide. Yeah, so I
guess, uh Lee Trevino on his deathbed. We'll be sitting there one day
going how could I have never gotten an Olive Garden discount? So in Ross's
little fantasy here. So but anyway, so that's Trevino in a nutshell.
That's why I picked him. He's a big marine guy. Do That's what
I said. I'm a big marine. Go yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, Okay? That that in the nessny is thing? What about a
happy Gilmore? Come on, you got it like that? The shooter and
it Shooter's not playing right, He's not Shooter, He's not That's not him
he was an actual player, so okay, all right, So yeah,
that's that's what's going on there, and good luck on that. In fact,
I will h I'm gonna give you five hundred to one odds, so
give me your a hund row and good luck. All right, Look at
that Ross is Ross is gambling, but not really because Tortino's not playing,
all right, speaking of predicting what may happen, So North Carolina Governor Roy
Cooper, he went over to Japan here what like a month ago or something.
I will always remember it because I remember he went to Japan and then
Mark Robinson issued a gubernatorial proclamation and everybody lost their minds. I just laughed.
Whatever, but that visit may have paid dividends. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio
Kashita will arrive at RDU Airport tomorrow, so that Prime Minister is coming from
Japan to Raleigh same day. Officials in charge of approving economic consentives for business
recruitment have announced a special meeting. So obviously, you know the expectation is
that some something something they figured it out or put the finishing touches on it,
and some sort of Japanese business expansion into North Carolina, and they're gonna
sit up there and shake hands and cut ribbons and talk about tens of millions
of dollars of tax abatements. Likely that existing business you may have to compete
at least for employees with this organization, are still going to be honest if
you had even if you were literally credited as other fireworks shopper, right,
and you were in Joe Dirt with a non speaking role where they they've panned
past you for three seconds in the background. I feel like your entire house
would be a show. I'm not making fun of him at all. It's
I think it's a really cool photo. Okay. Ross just texted this to
me, So it's Christian Bale. He looks like he's what fifteen in this
picture or something. I don't even know how old he was. He was
into Tiers of the Sun. But Empire's Son by Steven and here's the Son's
the Bruce Willis movie nineteen eighty seven. His bedroom in England, Okay,
and he's just he's got he's got a little video game set up there.
He's got his feet kicked up on the table, latest latest tech for the
day, and in the background is a is an official movie poster of a
movie he's in, which is incredible. Yeah, I mean Live with the
Best Life. Man. They ask you like, hey, what was on
your You know, I could have seen this before social media, like hey,
what on your your walls, your bedroom walls? What posters did you
have up? You know? And I can think of the ones that I
have in my bedroom right now. And like you were to ask him that,
like, hey, hey, Christian, what what posters were up on
your wall back in the eighties and he'd be like, ah, my movies,
that's amazing. Wait a second, did you just say in your bedroom
wall? No? Do you have movie posters in your bedroom? Did I?
Yes? I did? Oh? I thought you said? Now,
no, I'm when I was a kid. Okay, well the way you
said it, if you go back and listen to it, So what movie
posters do I have now? Now you're referring to is when you were a
kid? I thought you were like I thought your poor wife was coming home,
and you're like, look at a new Deadpool poster I put on the
wall. So all right, I was confused there. Yeah, dude,
posters were the bad I remember, because you know, you'd go, Uh,
where we get posters? Is that the Walmart and Sheridan. So we'd
go up there and they had an end cap on one of the aisles and
this just isn't a thing anymore and I don't know why. And it was
all the posters, but they were in like a big plastic foot flip book,
right, so they had them all and then you you just flip them
and go through all the different posters and uh until you found one with you
know, the fairy faucet poster or latest movie poster or whatever it was.
Man, And I was all about the posters. I loved them, but
yeah, none of them I was in now. I had a Michael Jordan
poster. I had a Lamborghini poster. I had a face off poster which
get a face off. Ye. I had a face off posters pretty amazing,
like from the movie Theater, the one like I got it like off
the wall y. Yeah. Yeah. I had a poster of JFK as
well as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King together in nineteen sixty eight. That's
a why. That's a so you had. I was in the politics a
big fan. No, that's amazing. It's just it's what a what a
variety of things in there, I feel like, because my I were mostly
just boobs and action movies. So although I did have a Phi crap A
Zappa poster, do you know what that is? I was the only Yeah,
I was the only kid who was kind of into Frank Zappa, even
though that was before my time. But the poster said Phi crap A Zappa,
and I thought it was funny, and so I put it up in
there. But I remember having to explain who that was to everybody forever.
So my favorite poster, though I didn't mention it, my favorite one was
I had a vintage Eisenhower campaign poster. They said, I like, Ike,
Okay, all right, did you bring all your girlfriends in high school?
Every single one of them? Yeah? Oh did you? Okay?
All right, you're like that. This is my MLK poster. This is
my Ike poster. Oh that's good. So yeah, I was trying to
think of I had any posters that weren't just no. No, it was
all you know why, because no other posters would last in there. Because
my little brother, he was in that stage where he's just an a hole,
and he thought it was funny to go in and take him, and
then inevitably the way take him is he wouldn't pull the pins on the corners
out, so we'd ripped the corner. It was a whole problem, but
we got it rectified and when he was old enough to be physically reminded not
to do that. So that's how brothers role. All right, let me
get over to this thing here real quick. By the way, if you
didn't, if you weren't here for the beginning of the show, you do
not want to miss our last segment because we got a story out of Kinston
that is crazy. Would be the best way to describe that. We'll get
to that here in right after we chat with Stagic and Jeff Bellinger. All
Right, I'm just making I don't know, can I say the list?
As we're talking movies? Can I say the name of this movie? So
there was a movie that was released three weeks ago into US theaters and they
literally have just pulled it, which you know, once you filmed the movie,
you spent that amount of money. You know, this isn't one hundred
billion dollar blockbuster, but they still spent what like twenty well when you get
marketing, probably thirty five million. They went into the box office made just
two and a half million in its first uh three weeks, and it was
at that point they pulled it out of theaters. And it is a big,
big swing and a miss. I wonder why people might not have been
going, but I have some theories. The name of the movie is The
American Society of Magical Negroes. I'm probably canceled, but that's the name of
the movie. But like, inherently me going, should I say the name
of that? I can't believe that that's good for marketing two with a name
like that. All right, it's a romantic comedy, is it really?
Because I assumed it was like a black Hogwarts sort of thing. Yeah,
well, all right, so no, listen to this. All right?
So the film, which is a romantic comedy, is here we go.
This is let me read the actual description. This is the movie studios one
paragraph to sell the movie, all right. The American Society of Magical Negroes
is a fresh satirical comedy about a young man named Aaron who is recruited into
a secret society of magical black people who dedicate their lives to the cause of
utmost importance. Making white people's lives easier, and then he meets a girl
in hilarity ensues. It's got David Allen Greer, Drew tarvar of hinds.
These are all if even if you don't know the names, you know who
these people all, I promise you. Yeah, I think nobody knew what
the hell it was and they didn't want to say the name, and you
know maybe and also, what the hell does that mean? A society of
magical black people? Obviously it's some tongue in cheek white privilege story, right,
that sounds like that sounds like what they're setting up for. But yeah,
to have to rip it out of theaters, oh brutal. And of
course the reason that we're hearing from some involved with the movie is because you're
all a bunch of big fat racists. So sitting spin on that anyway,
eight forty three raced age. It is here with your diverse intolerant weather,
and by diverse, I mean some rain and then some not rain, so
right, fire aways, all right, and then leading edge of this one
round of showers pushing through and getting into Ashborough, Greensboro and heading east,
so shortly here across the triangle already and the Triad and back toward to places
like Ashville and on your Chattanooga. So we'll deal with these showers here.
As we head on through today, there might be a thundershower mixed in,
and temperatures are gonna be in the low to mid seventies. If you get
any sunshine at all, which you may not, you might be a little
warmer, but we still do have these showers around, mostly cloud You might
get a little break tonight before more showers come back tomorrow with thunderstorms midday into
the afternoon. Now that's really the main show tomorrow, with heavier rain and
could be gusty winds. I don't think wide spread severe storms midday into Thursday
afternoon, but nonetheless gonna be a little unsettled right into Thursday night, and
then the sudd will be out and then we get the other end of the
stick, kind of flipping around. Sunshine, breezy to windy at times on
Friday near seventy loa to mid seventies, and sunny Saturday gonna push it to
the low eighties on Sunday and sunny early next week. Looks real nice,
big area of high pressure. Case he is gonna be in and gonna hang
around for quite a few days with a nice warming trend. We'll get into
Augusta for the Masters tomorrow morning. We'll have some showers, thunder showers May
nine o'clock. Most of the impactful rain could be over with, so maybe
a little delay on the early tea times, but you'd be able to get
it going later. And the weekend's gonna beautiful. Friday, Saturday, Sunday
look excellent, excellent all across the Southeast, including Augusta for the Masters.
What's your favorite vehicle you've ever owned? Nineteen ninety three F one fifty Xcel
four wheel drive, regular cab long bit. Okay you still have it or
no, I don't, But I'm looking for one, believe it or not.
It's got to be the same truck. It's got to have a tan
interior. Yeah, yeah, on that I've been I have. I have
looked for the ninety seven Powerstroke diesel that I had, and that had the
big, the big old powerstroke engine in it. F two fifty little lift
kid white interior or white exterior, and then had that gray interior. That
was the perfect truck. Man. I love that thing every time I see
one. Now, it's like it's a collector's item. So I was.
I found one actually, but it was a Actually today I was looking.
I found a short It was a short bed. The interior color was right,
but it was a short bed. It was a little dinged up.
But I was like, wow, we are I'm get I'm gonna find it.
I'll find it, all right, very cool man. And then that
will this little discussion will then lend us nicely into the story out of Kinston,
where a dude's been arrested for making love to an elderly woman's car for
three years. Oh okay, so you have some fun with that. He
really likes, you know, two thousand and eight Toyota something or other whatever
that car is, so sure? All right, Corolla, No, it
was Avalon. I think the nice he's uh, he doesn't date cheap hos
man. Anyway, we got to run, thank you. Yep, Jeff
Bellinger, he's next. Hang on, well, casey, we just got
word that the cost of living made a bigger than expected jump last no,
no, come on, bigger than expected. The Consumer Price Index up four
tenths percent in March. The core CPI, which strips out food and energy
also up four tenths percent. The CPI was up three and a half percent
year over year. All hotter readings than expected, and it looks like a
selloff on Wall Street coming today. S and P futures are down sixty four
points, Nasdaq futures are down two hundred and forty two. Now futures down
four hundred and four. Greg McBride of bank rate dot Com just emailed kiss
a June interest rate cut goodbye. We also knew this was coming. Speaking
of the cost of things, the price of Goodiva chocolates will be going up.
Godiva's London based parent company says it is still finalizing pricing, but it
expects hikes in the high single digits. Sky High cocoa prices make these increases
necessary. The cost of coco is more than double just since the beginning of
the year, and the Postal Service is seeking another price increase just four months
after the last one. The agency asking the Postal Regulatory Commission to approve a
five cent hike in the price of a stamp that would bring the price to
seventy three cents. Stamp prices were last hiked in January. Mortgage bankers reported
Today that applications for new home loans fell four point seven percent last week.
The average interest rate on thirty year fixed rate mortgages crept back above seven percent.
Coca Cola being taken to court over labels on plastic water bottles that read
one hundred percent recyclable. A proposed class action filed in a California federal court
charges the recyclability claim is false because some components of the bottles, like the
caps and the labels, are not recyclable. In Casey, a lot of
movie theater landlords around the country are choosing to lower the rent on theaters rather
than lose the tenants. The Wall Street Journal says empty movie theaters are a
big challenge for commercial property owners. The sloped floors and big windowless rooms are
not suited to other types of businesses, such as stores and restaurants. Casey,
it would be a hilarious place for a bar, though, Yeah,
with a slope, with a slope floor. I'll just say it, around
one o'clock, it'll be wild in there all right, real quick. Jeff
mm hmm. Tomorrow, Yes, who's your pick? That's the master's music.
So who do you think is gonna win? The Masters this year my
favorite time of the year. Honestly, Casey, I don't even know a
player who's in the Masters. Come on, you can think I got a
golf player that you know, whose name you know. I'll give you a
hint. He's from Florida, he's won a bunch, he got a car
accident, his wife tried to kill him with a pitching wedge. Oh you're
talking about Tiger Woods. All right, Well he's in it. So now
you know one person. He's in it, So I'll let you root for
him. Okay, all right, I'll go in there. You two.
All right, there you go, Jeff Bellinger, big Tiger Tiger Woods.
Stand you guys didn't know that, now you do. Okay, let's start
to the show with this, and we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna
stop it. I have I had a bunch of questions. I don't know
that any of them got answered. But I guess if you're you're planning to
go to Kinston soon, or maybe you're listening from there this morning, glad
to have you watch where you park here we go home. A couple of
years ago, when she started noticing fluid underneath her Burgundy, two thousand and
eight, Toyota Avalon. This is a this is an elderly woman. She's
got a two thousand and eight to Avalon and you heard it there. And
for years, she starts, she noticed something and this thing has been happening.
Here's the thing. Thought something was wrong with her car. Turns out
that Kinston police believed that the fluid was from this man, fifty two year
old Walter McCrae, who engages in mechinophilia, or a sexual attraction to machines
or vehicles. I thought something was happening from Amadehu of my car, because
whenever he'd come up here, he'd urinate all over the hood of the car
and it would run all down. And I thought it was something coming from
und. I took my car to the shop three times, okay, and
by the way, he didn't just urinate on it and we'll leave it there.
And the reason we know is because after this has been going on for
three years, she finally decided, hey, let's get the cops involved.
And they set up some cameras. I don't if their trail cams or what,
and sure enough, here we go. Ray says that on several occasions.
McCrae also climbed on the hood of Taylor's car for sexual gratification. Taylor
says this has been going on for three years and she could never catch him
with her own camera until finally Kinston police were able to with a camera they
set up. They called him on camera. They came on Monday morning and
they took the films out and they come back to the door say we got
him this times. They said, we got good films, we got good
pictures, but it it was more than we really wanted to see. So
yeah, yeah, And frankly, I didn't want to have I don't want
to be armed with the knowledge of the the term mechanophilia. I didn't need
to know that there was a thing. And also it sounds like it could
be vehicles, could be any electronic device. Does this guy not have appliances?
I have a theory why he was going and hooking up with somebody else's
car or appliance. I think it's like, do you remember back in the
day when you were shallow and young and stupid, and maybe you were dating
somebody who, frankly was you know, normally you're scoring like sevens eight and
there are five maybe, And then you do that thing where you're like,
you go out on dates and even though like you're having a good time,
like you're also the court of public opinion informs you and she's like, why
do we never meet your friends? Right? I think you know this guy
was into eight Toyota Toyota vehicles Toyota sedans, but he didn't want to have
to explain that to his crew, and so this was his little side thing.
Man, it's a little secret
