WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.679 K co O Day radio program, and holy cow, you know, on 2 00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:17.920 the grand scheme of inaccurate got you journalism, this is uh, this is 3 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:26.600 a doozy and it is shockingly still up the there's a piece the what is 4 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.719 this the Palm Beach Post, and editorial writer for the for the Palm Beach 5 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:41.920 Post had himself a He had himself a gotcha. So if you don't know 6 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:49.799 what they're currently roasting DeSantis over is uh the it's not just a santist but 7 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:56.960 basically, in the state of Florida, lawmakers and the governor put together what 8 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:04.680 is referred to as the State of Florida Immigration Healthcare Dashboard. All right, 9 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.719 so you know they they love them. They love some dashboards up in government. 10 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.760 By the way, this idiot's name is Frank Sarabino Palm Beach Post. 11 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.879 This is an opinion column. I would just point this out. This is 12 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.599 an editorial column. However, even when you're doing an editorial column, and 13 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:33.920 arguably more importantly so, when you're doing a an opinion column and you are 14 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:40.400 one team to present facts to your readers, in this case Palm Beach Post, 15 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.359 you want to do so in a way that convinces them of what your 16 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.120 position is. That's how these that's how the editorial stuff works. So you 17 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.159 know they they're editorial writer. Sarabino, he's got he's got some thoughts, 18 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:01.319 and his thoughts just happen to coincide with many of the legacy media in Florida. 19 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.920 And that is the dashboard, which, by the way, here's what 20 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:14.919 it does. The dashboard, which was put into place last year, collects 21 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.000 information and it is a mandatory report. Right, So I guess if you 22 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:30.439 want a beef that government has required additional compliance time on the part of healthcare 23 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:37.719 providers in Florida, that's fine. That's not what's being argued here. The 24 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.319 reason that they're gathering data in mandatory reporting is when you get up at the 25 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.439 federal level, while there had been some actual sampling and reporting going on, 26 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.159 as you can imagine imagine under the Biden administration, if you can't gather the 27 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.879 data to show that it's going on, is it ever really happening? Is 28 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:05.879 an attitude, and we saw it with the revamp of the FBI criminal reporting 29 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.000 numbers. Remember we talked about this, the updated FBI crime statistics, where 30 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.120 all of a sudden, in this iteration, they stopped breaking stuff down by 31 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.400 certain demographics, so there's charts you can't look at. Many of those charts 32 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.360 were charts that people would post online when they were having discussion about crime, 33 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:30.840 and if you posted any you were immediately labeled super bigot. Even though they 34 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.080 were the FBI numbers. They cleared it out. They cleared it up this 35 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.039 time, and the numbers are a lot harder to grasp well when it comes 36 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.240 to providing healthcare in this case, specifically healthcare that is provided to somebody who 37 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:53.560 is who has entered the country and does not have a legal immigration status in 38 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.840 this country, so you're talking about illegal immigrants, you are talking about those 39 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.759 within the quote quote asylum program to catch and released, and basically Florida healthcare 40 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:11.479 providers using this dashboard would upload data to the Agency for Healthcare Administration in Florida 41 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.680 and it would allow a county by county map that showed the total number of 42 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:27.519 hospital admissions, emergency room visits, and the total cost associated with undocumented residents. 43 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:33.199 The stated purpose was to provide actual data which had been missing that allows 44 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:41.040 individuals in Florida to evaluate whether they're comfortable with how this issue is being handled 45 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.319 and lo and behold, the numbers came out and for the first year in 46 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:54.519 existence, the state of Florida and this is not in debate. This is 47 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:59.519 what they're reporting. You can question their methodology. Spent five hundred and sixty 48 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:06.240 six million dollars just in the state of Florida for uncompensated hospital business. Now 49 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:14.199 doesn't mean the State of Florida recompense these healthcare providers. These are a standard 50 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:20.720 accounting byline for healthcare providers and that is undocked or uncompensated hospital visits. Right, 51 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.759 So if somebody who's here illegally, doesn't have status, goes into the 52 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.319 er, gets treatment and you know, they don't have a Social Security number 53 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.279 to track them with any of the rest uh those those costs, while they 54 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.879 may not be reimbursed by the government, some are the healthcare provider will have 55 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.319 to write them off. And that is that is something that happens in our 56 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.600 healthcare system a lot. But when you write something like that off or if 57 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.079 you eat the costs, as you and I both know because we understand how 58 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:59.480 businesses work, somebody else is paying for that. And the likelihood is if 59 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.439 you look at various studies, not just studies done by Florida universities under DeSantis, 60 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:11.920 but specifically pretty much anyone who's ever looked at this, it unquestionably is 61 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.160 a cost that is then bore by people who are pain or their insurance is 62 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:23.079 pain. So you know, knowing what that is is probably pretty good. 63 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.399 So when that number came out, it was kind of shocking, even in 64 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.399 Florida, which is one of the higher population states, knowing that five hundred 65 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:38.279 and sixty six million in hospital costs are going to have to be absorbed in 66 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.560 some way, shape or form, either through tax write offs into the federal 67 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:46.920 system or the state system, or the costs that are bore by Floridians going 68 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.319 and getting healthcare. That number of blew people away. So that's how we 69 00:06:51.399 --> 00:07:02.199 get to damage control. So the Palm Beach Post and editorial Frank Serebino wrote 70 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:10.199 this, DeSantis blames undocumented immigrants for healthcare costs, but his supporters cost Florida 71 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:15.720 more, all right. So the sub headline the cost of the uncompensated hospital 72 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:21.240 visits put it five hundred and sixty six million statewide by the agency is actually 73 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:30.240 less than the five hundred and seventy seven million the taxpayers paid to create and 74 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.560 this is how he describes it, the anti immigrant online dashboard. So I 75 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:41.639 want you to think about what I just said. According to Sarabino, e, 76 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:53.519 the cost that was borre by taxpayers to create this online dashboard ran five 77 00:07:53.600 --> 00:08:00.480 hundred and seventy seven million, and the dashboard only showed only five hundred sixty 78 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.680 six million in uncompensated hospital visits. So who's who's really screwing over the state 79 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.519 of Florida? Is the point of this? Because they hate the Santas all 80 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.560 right? So those are the numbers. There is a problem. There is 81 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.639 a problem. Ross. Do you think maybe you're picking up on what the 82 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.240 problem might be that it costs five hundred and seventy seven million to create an 83 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:30.000 online dashboard just so you could show five hundred and sixty six million in uncompensated 84 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:35.120 hospital spending. What may have what may in rushing to get his peace out, 85 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.720 which again is still up. What do you think, mister Sarabino, 86 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.879 a decades long newspaper man who has a severe case of teds, Well, 87 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:54.039 what do you think Maybe it should be a fact check there? Oh, 88 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.200 okay, Ross doesn't have a degree in economics. Would you say, let's 89 00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.240 say you needed an online dashboard, all right, So basically one of any 90 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.559 one of our online tools, like the podcast tool or something, or you 91 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.600 know, one of the others that we use. And I told you that 92 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:16.279 that software costs five hundred and seventy seven million, wouldn't you be like, 93 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.039 what are we doing? Why would you spend that much? Did the Obamacare 94 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.279 website cost that much? Yeah? I mean, I'm sure it did. 95 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:31.559 But well, Frank Serrebino missed a decimal point on the cost to taxpayers. 96 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.799 In his fervor to show that DeSantis is wasting a lot more money just so 97 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:46.759 he can demonize people, Serrebino misread. I don't know, it's weird how 98 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:54.320 these mistakes happen seemingly in one direction. So yeah, So the problem with 99 00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:03.360 that is is the new dashboard didn't cost that much money. It didn't even 100 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:09.000 cost close. In fact, he was only off by a factor of a 101 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.919 hundred percent. I want to repeat this. He was only off by a 102 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.080 factor of about one hundred times. Excuse me, not one hundred percent, 103 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.360 one hundred times. See, it turns out the cost of the dashboard was 104 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:33.240 five thousand dollars. But what oh, Now you've got a degree in economics, 105 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.080 huh yeah. And then even if you factor in and this is how 106 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:43.080 they got to the five seventy seven because it's five K to create the dashboard, 107 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.240 there's five K for outside out of its hosting services or what. And 108 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:54.399 then there is four hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars that is the cost that 109 00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.000 was utilized for data collection on the part of the state. So these are 110 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.200 our people work within the Florida Health Department whose job it is to maintain this 111 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:09.360 dashboard. You've got a team there. And so they added five thousand plus 112 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.480 five thousand to five hundred and sixty seven thousand, which which which got five 113 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.679 hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars for this thing, and instead of five hundred 114 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:28.080 and seventy seven thousand, this moron wrote an op ed piece claiming that DeSantis 115 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.360 and his administration spent five hundred and seventy seven million dollars. I'm shocked as 116 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.759 someone like this would be wrong about the facts, or are you? Are 117 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.799 you? Yeah? I mean it's yeah, five hundred and sixty seven thousand, 118 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.080 And you know what, I like, to some extent if you told 119 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.679 me that a government entity spent five seventy seven on the dashboard. I might 120 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.840 believe you after the all of the Obamacare website debacle and all of that, 121 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.840 but I yeah, i'd probably scratch my head. He thought this guy thought 122 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.399 he had such an exclusive. They he was going to show that, yes, 123 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.159 yes, five hundred and sixty six million may have not been paid to 124 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.519 healthcare providers will now be passed on to you by the state spent more than 125 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:16.440 that. Except they didn't. They didn't not even close, not even remotely 126 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:22.840 close. And it was too good to check. And the piece remains on. 127 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:28.360 There's no correction, nothing. I'm looking at it right now. It's 128 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.200 just up there, and it's been up there all night, and I don't 129 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.360 know. We'll see, we'll see if they pull the whole story or if 130 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.360 they just they just to fix at the very bottom of a quick little whoopsie. 131 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.279 Yeah, that's how I started mid morning. But you should too, 132 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.200 all right, six twenty coming up on the show. Well, i'll tell 133 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:48.919 you what. I'll give you a rundown in a moment. Hang on, 134 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.879 fraudile at tax returns, you identity theft increased by thirty percent and twenty twenty 135 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.159 three. If you're in a buying this tax season Lifelik can help their US 136 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:05.559 based restoration. All Right, just retweeted a little summary of what I was 137 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.320 just telling you about from was it a g Hamilton tweet? I think does 138 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:16.720 a pretty good job of the rundown. But yeah, so I there. 139 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.759 How you can't amend an article that is totally predicated on this this cost that 140 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:30.080 has people in Florida up in arms and likely will be impactful on the elections. 141 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.360 Uh, this idiot over at Palm Beach Post can't abide by that. 142 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.480 So it is the number being so high so as to show wasteful intent by 143 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.039 desantists. That is the point of this article. And the whole thing's predicated 144 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:50.720 on not just a dude who missed two decimal points where you know, maybe 145 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.720 he would come back and he'd be like, well, the numbers had omitted 146 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.879 the period and that typo blah blah blah is what caused it. No, 147 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.799 you missed it by three zeros. It doesn't make any sense unless it was 148 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.240 too good to And by the way, the story was published on April second, 149 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.080 because for a moment I'm like, maybe this is a no, No, 150 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.480 it's it's it wasn't it was. It was the second and it was 151 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.759 up all day yesterday and it's still up now. AnyWho, All right, 152 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.519 coming up on the show. It is Thursday, So Stephen Kent, our 153 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:35.799 official NERD correspondent, he'll be with us at plenty of stuff to get into. 154 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:43.200 Also, dude, I don't know that I feel bad for Sodamayore, 155 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:54.120 but you can tell that what happened with RBG is going to weigh heavily in 156 00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:01.080 the minds of senators for a very long time. Right, I'm talking the 157 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.480 narrative where everybody and their mother was like, you know, Bader Ginsburg probably 158 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.559 probably should be retired. And remember there was a portion of time, and 159 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.320 I mean time when the court was in session where nobody saw Ginsburg for quite 160 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.559 a while. Do you remember that time? You remember that era, that 161 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.600 window of about a month where they're like, she's working from home and her 162 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.879 clerks are the only ones who talked to her, and you know, the 163 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:35.039 internet, they're like, people are going, well is she or are we 164 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.399 doing a weekend at Bernie's thing here? All right? Like I said, 165 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.799 I retweeted, I think what is a pretty good summary of the what the 166 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.159 hell are they thinking? Over at the Palm Beach Post. Well, I 167 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.639 know what they're thinking. They're thinking, you know, get them, but 168 00:15:50.519 --> 00:16:00.320 just absolute journalistic malpractice, claiming that a dashboard which gathered data from all the 169 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:07.480 healthcare providers in Florida showing an unreimbursed expenditure five hundred and sixty six million dollars 170 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:14.039 that no doubt would be at least in part passed on to people wanting medical 171 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:21.799 care in Florida. The dashboard, the data entry widget. So we're clear, 172 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.480 what we're talking about called a website is not even is not wholly accurate. 173 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.399 It is a data collection portal, and it does have associated costs. 174 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.080 You got to have people to collate the data, report it, put it 175 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.879 in report form, make policy recommendations, all the stuff that goes along with 176 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:42.279 it. And in the gotcha moment, the reporter claimed that it costs five 177 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:48.240 hundred and seventy seven million for the database, but it didn't. It cost 178 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:53.120 five thousand dollars. It costs five thousand additional for I guess hosting just it's 179 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.720 a coalition of services, so maybe hosting in printer inc I don't know. 180 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:06.079 And five hundred and six these six thousand dollars for the actual folks that are 181 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.599 in charge of utilizing that information for all the things I just mentioned. By 182 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.960 government standards, it's you know, being around a half million dollars, that's 183 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.160 not gonna bat an eye. But this guy moved to decimal point three times 184 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.720 to create the senatorial and it is strikingly bad. So I retweeted that also 185 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:40.480 another day and other this we have a police shooting. It's pretty I just 186 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:49.039 had Ross watch it too. It's pretty intense. You you have the officers 187 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:55.319 responded for what would you say that is ross a mental health crisis considering what 188 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.640 we're talking about, something affecting the brain. Yeah, I see mental health 189 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:04.319 crisis. You see this, This officer roll up, the suspect is is 190 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:11.799 right there, is fairly aggressive, and what does she do. She takes 191 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:18.119 out her service weapon and puts a couple in them. I mean, the 192 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.200 suspect reminded me of Tony Montan at the end of Scarface. Ah. Yeah, 193 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.799 yeah, I think that's where like nothing can take him down. Yeah, 194 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.640 well that's the thing, right because and then if you're an officer and 195 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:32.000 you're dealing with somebody who you've utilized. In this case, she used her 196 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.839 firearm. Did you ross. Did she even try a taser? I didn't 197 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:41.000 see in the video. Looks like she straight for the and I don't know 198 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.839 if she doesn't look like she's trying to shoot the legs either. No, 199 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.960 she was. She was going for the head. And then and then at 200 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.279 which point the suspect pops up comes after her again, but it puts a 201 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.920 couple more into him at like point blank range. Yeah, I mean, 202 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.200 right, well, look, you know they talk about closing distance a right. 203 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.960 You ever seen that demo where somebody has a knife and there I can't 204 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.200 remember that, it's like twenty some feet or whatever. And then they do 205 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.720 what exercise where the person with the knife comes at the officer and you know, 206 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:15.240 once you get within that whatever that distance twenty one feet, it really 207 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.359 is not in the officer's favor because that before they can get their weapon out, 208 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.720 get it aimed properly, they maybe overtook. So yeah, I think 209 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.759 the proximity had some to do with it. And then after putting two more 210 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.319 in the suspect, the suspect up back at it again, and now the 211 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.680 officer is you can tell in her brain it's click with her that something may 212 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:44.400 write here, and she she looks like she saw a spider, and I 213 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.920 said, people are hacking on her. But I gotta be honest, like, 214 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.200 nothing there seems like what you would expect is going to happen. So 215 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.680 to say that you would be able to deal with it, like you're an 216 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.160 old Clint Eastwood character, maybe I don't know. Every time that dude got 217 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.160 back up, it looked disconcerting, so I want to check that out. 218 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:10.480 Also, it's a raccoon with mate with probably rabies, so but that would 219 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:15.240 be mental health, right, because the rabies affects the brain. So I'm 220 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.200 just trying to figure out if I if I could get a spot on the 221 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.279 writing at the Palm Beach Post. And I feel like my representation is exactly 222 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:27.319 what they'd be looking for to demonize this this officer. Yeah, that thing 223 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.799 like if I don't know which PD, but it might be the Raccoon City 224 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:37.559 PD can and considering it's a raccoon, all it all fits. So that's 225 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.920 that's a reference to zombie movies, folks. And I think it fits the 226 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.759 bill all right. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. 227 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:51.720 It is a crazy video. Yeah, I don't know if it's fair. 228 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.400 Also, and I'm not sure how they tell them to do it. It 229 00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.240 was my understanding and correct me if it's old wivestale stuff. I was told 230 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:06.160 that if we ever, because we had a coyote one time that was like 231 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.640 it was like way too friendly. Wasn't the word. It was just way 232 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.279 too cut. It had all the hallmarks of rabies. It turns out it 233 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:19.680 didn't have rabies, but it did have It wasn't encephalize. I can't remember 234 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.240 what it was. It was something that I antelope used to get and somehow 235 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:29.839 the cowdi had it, so it was similar. But I remember being told 236 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.799 one time that if if we're dealing with a rabbit animal that you shouldn't shoot 237 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.519 it in the head. You should, you know, center mass that thing, 238 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.759 obviously, but doing part to the fact that they want to then dig 239 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.400 through the brain. But I might well, if I shoot it in the 240 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:45.680 head, you're gonna have a lot easier time to getting to it. So 241 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:48.759 I don't know if that was true. I don't know what they tell officers 242 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:53.559 to do. But about the time you've got you know, five forty five 243 00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:57.880 rounds into a raccoon and the thing's still coming at you, I'm gonna be 244 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.839 I'm going to start to get uncomfortable with the situation. Yeah, it looked 245 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.240 like she put two to the chests and one of the head. Absolutely, 246 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.480 she might be a hitter for the Russian mob. I don't know, but 247 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.440 you can check that out eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. 248 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.079 And then if you really want to work for the Palm Beach Post, 249 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:25.079 you then take that story and you juxtapose it with Donald Trump calling all immigrants 250 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:33.359 animals, which of course is a drastic misrepresentation which requires very creative editing of 251 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.279 a statement he made. I'll let you listen to it. Tell me if 252 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.880 you could pick out who he's talking about, twenty two year old nursing student 253 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.400 in Georgia who was barbarically murdered by an illegal alien animal. The Democrats said, 254 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.799 please don't call them animals. They're humans. I said, no, 255 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.200 they're not yumans, they're not yemans, they're animals. And Nancy Pelosi told 256 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:57.559 me that, she said, please don't use the word animals, sir, 257 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.759 when you're talking about these people. I said, I'll use the word animal 258 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:06.000 because that's what they are, all right. So if you are most of 259 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:10.599 the media, obviously what he was referring to is probably not just illegal immigrants, 260 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.240 but all immigrants, just calling him animals as he does. Just like 261 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.119 remember that he did with that Sheriff's group when they were explicitly talking about MS 262 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.680 thirteen in that scenario, and in this case, he literally started off with 263 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:29.000 the the death of the college students. So yeah, yeah, so if 264 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:34.160 you're gonna hopefully misrepresent that as as folks were doing and running a shorter video, 265 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:40.880 shorter clip than even that, I think you can tie these two things 266 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.720 together. But hey, yeah, you be the judge. Okay, all 267 00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.480 right, six forty three. Speaking of being the judge, you know I 268 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:56.359 have I have a suspicion that has long lingered based on just a lot of 269 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:03.160 coincidences. I've talked about this off the air. We are Ross, We're 270 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.920 still convinced that the Glenn Beck Show steals stuff from us? Right, uh 271 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.720 completely, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah right. It's like like eerie. 272 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.160 Now is this slightly tongue cheet, yes, okay, but dispair with 273 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:17.119 me. No, I'm being serious. Is a thief. There's a lot 274 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.960 of times where I feel like Ross and I have appealed the onion on a 275 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:25.680 story in a somewhat unique way right, Like you're not hearing analysis like that 276 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.079 on mostalk radio. And then all of a sudden it's the uh, it's 277 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.200 the hot take on the next hour of Beck Right, so we may like, 278 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:41.079 ah, they're listening, bro, they're listening. There they gotta be, 279 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:48.000 Because did I not create an entire scenario on Tuesday show where to console 280 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.839 you for not getting jury duty? We were going to allow you to adjudicate, 281 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.880 uh, you know, various disagreements because you've got a powdered wig and 282 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:02.640 you wanted to justice. Did I not say we could do like judge Judge 283 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:06.799 Hayes. And then I'm the dude in the pot because I remember saying, 284 00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:08.279 Hey, I would love to do that, but I'm just too busy. 285 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.799 I understand, I'm just way too busy. Yeah, no, no, 286 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:18.200 no, And then, uh, what happened yesterday? What do we find 287 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:26.400 out? Daily Wires stole our stuff? Man, Daily Wires stole our bit. 288 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.240 Everybody's stealing from this show. Just just want everyone out there to know, 289 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.359 this is why you've made such a good decision decisions starting your mornings with 290 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:41.640 us. Daily Wire announces a new series that will star Matt Walsh as a 291 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:47.480 judge, so you know, basically in the format of a reality courtroom. 292 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.079 Uh, if you don't know how those things work, the judge, whoever 293 00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:56.279 the judge is, uh, is a licensed arbiter, right, and so 294 00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.480 when you speed read the stuff at the end, that's that's how So anyone 295 00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:04.519 could be a judge who can uh you know, get past a short arbitration 296 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.880 certification training. So immediately on the heels of us wanting to do this, 297 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.079 now they're going to do their own and the photo there at the least of 298 00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.319 him. Yes, for the promo material, there's no powdered wig. None 299 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.759 did well are trying, no, they're trying not to get caught, right, 300 00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.640 Like if they're like, oh, if we don't have a powdered wig, 301 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.799 if it's him behind the bench with a powdered wig and an iron mask 302 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:34.319 to put on someone up in the beast, it's very obvious they start from 303 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.200 us, Yeah, we go to court and we're rich, you know right 304 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.960 away. But no, they had just enough differences so they could, I 305 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:48.440 guess, have plausible deniability. So I did see that. I don't know, 306 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.240 it'll be interesting. Me and Matt Walsh don't necessarily align on everything. 307 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.279 I think that, and it is fine. I don't got a beef with 308 00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:03.039 the dude, but I think he's just he's a I have a I go 309 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.279 a little more libertarian on stuff than some of the stuff he does. But 310 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.680 that's fine. I'll watch him yell at people. He's generally he's generally pretty 311 00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:14.880 good at it. So but you know, I would like a little uh 312 00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.079 residuals. That's all I'm saying. So think it over all, right, 313 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:22.359 six forty six? Hang on, I got it? So why don't you 314 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:30.640 just give him back? Dude? We let you borrow our guy as friends 315 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:38.480 do friends. Vikings fans and Bill's fans with you know which I'm happy to 316 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.279 jump on that as my AFC team. I like, I've said the same 317 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.720 thing. I've said the same thing like if it comes to NFC, I'm 318 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.440 a Vikings fan if I have to choose a NFC team, And so what 319 00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.799 do we do? We're like, Hey, you guys wants to fond Diggs 320 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.640 and you're like, yeah, let's have him. And uh, yesterday when 321 00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:00.319 you were done with him instead of letting him come back to Minnesota, where 322 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.000 I mean, do you really want him back? Though? You guys are 323 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.119 like, dah, We're gonna give him the Texans or whatever your trade was. 324 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.440 I remember I did see that the Dolphins fans were thinking they were gonna 325 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:17.599 get him yesterday and their souls were crushed. But also his reason for leaving 326 00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.559 Minnesota was there were too many good receivers there, right. You had you 327 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.640 had Digs, obviously, but you had Adam Thielen, and then you had 328 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.440 Joe Jefferson coming in and he just he wasn't getting the time. And I 329 00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:37.440 have a feeling it's the similar thing. Who's the top target is Knox? 330 00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.519 I'm trying to think who your top target is? Shakiir Is is Shakiro Okay, 331 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.680 because listen, Diggs did not have a great season last year. For 332 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.680 the first half of the season when the Bills went five and five, Diggs 333 00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.720 was doing great. For the second half of the season when the Bills went 334 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.119 six and one, Diggs had one game over sixty five yards and one touchdown. 335 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.720 But are they putting two or three guys on him another play they were 336 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.079 double team in him? Yeah, yeah, for sure. But then he 337 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.319 disappears in the playoffs and like the one thing he's known for in the playoffs, 338 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.240 this past year was the fumble that he gave up that was return for 339 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.920 a touchdown, and then there was a big wide open sixty five. They 340 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.599 would have gone ahead and won that game against the Chiefs, and then ball 341 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.720 went right through his hands. Yeah, I don't know that you can shot. 342 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.960 You're not shouldering the entirety of it. Because there was also some issues 343 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.279 with some calls in that game. Some would argue, but yeah, no 344 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.599 he didn't. He didn't look real good. But he's been good for so 345 00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.039 long. I mean he has. But you get to that point, man, 346 00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:34.480 and it seems to be around like that. Not everybody, but they 347 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:40.200 seemed around that thirty year age mark where it's like the drop off does become 348 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:42.920 significant. I would say yesterday of the news when they were letting him go, 349 00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:48.680 I would say, a that doesn't happen without Josh Allen's Josh Allen Green 350 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.640 letting that his approval. That does not happen. And I think there was 351 00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:55.759 so much drama in Minnesota fans, to their credit, warrened Bills fans that 352 00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.279 this would happen in the locker room. And there's been a lot of drama 353 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.200 behind this with Stephan Diggs, every other few weeks. It seems like the 354 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.359 rumor is he wants out, he's not happy. You have him blowing up 355 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.519 on Josh Allen the sideliner in the snow game, and it's just I have 356 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.960 feeling Josh Allen was like, enough, we need to move on, and 357 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.279 that I mean it was it was clear that all that stuff festered for months 358 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.039 with Minnesota, so people were not surprised when they're like, all right, 359 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.720 you don't want to be here, let's let's do this. But that now, 360 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:25.440 the Texans are kind of built. Oh dude, they are. Yeah, 361 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.960 if Stroud is If Stroud is good and you know he looks like he's 362 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.839 not going to be bad, you got now, you got digs, you 363 00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.759 got Dell, Tank Dell, you got who's the other receiver or that running 364 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.440 back there? Or is Dell the running I can't my brain's hut. But 365 00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.960 like, their offenses look a pretty and they have a good line too. 366 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:48.160 I have faith in Brandon Bean and it's like, you know, cliche and 367 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.279 the me in the process, but I believe that they have something in the 368 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.519 works, and I in the draft. They're obviously I believe going to go 369 00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:56.759 for a younger wide receiver. And when you look at the Bills what they've 370 00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.400 done in the off season, it's been they've got a lot, They've gotten 371 00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:00.880 rid of a lot of older guys, and they're going younger and faster. 372 00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.759 I'm excited to see that. There's also the only way you can win right 373 00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:08.480 now with the with the structuring of stuff. If you've got a if you 374 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.799 have a quarterback that's not under a rookie contract, your entire other the way 375 00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:17.480 you staff your team has to change just because of the hits and this this 376 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.720 is similar to win in my opinion, when Tyreek Hill left the Chiefs and 377 00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:23.440 Patrick Mahomes to go down to Miami, right and people are like, oh, 378 00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.279 well, Patrick Mahomes is done. Well, Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes, 379 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.000 and the Bills so have Josh Allen. So I think the Bills are 380 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.160 going to be fine. I was seeing yesterday the Vegas odds of them winning 381 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.640 the Super Bowl. They're third now they're still number one for winning the division. 382 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:38.880 So they didn't drop off at all when it comes to Vegas odds. 383 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.279 If you put any stuff, yeah, yeah, yeah, I took your 384 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:47.279 but I you know, Carolina was twenty five thousand plus their twenty five hundred 385 00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:49.880 excuse me, plus twenty five hundred. So I mean, yeah, the 386 00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:52.519 bills are fine, but you're not gonna make much money there. That's why 387 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.839 I put it all on Carolina this year. I mean that payout is going 388 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.920 to be amazing, all right. So yeah, so Digs is off right 389 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.880 and Ross thinks forty chess is afoot. So I just I just have faith 390 00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:10.039 and I believe that. I'm I feel like Michael Jackson eating the popcorn like 391 00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:14.359 that. Hey man, I was wrong. I was gonna have I will. 392 00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.160 I will admit that I was wrong last year when we took that receiver. 393 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:21.880 I you know, I didn't. I didn't think he was gonna be 394 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.359 he was taken in the first round. Everyone said he was second round at 395 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:28.480 best. And I was wrong, and I and that's a good time to 396 00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:34.799 be wrong. So we'll see how it can hear me out, Okay, 397 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.400 justin Jefferson's the bills. You know what, I can't dream, right, 398 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:42.880 No, you don't have to dream. I think that there's a scenario where 399 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.400 our front office does that because they hate the fans, which is where I'm 400 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.720 at caz O Day Radio program and coming up in one hour we'll chat with 401 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:58.079 Stephen Kent. We're gonna talk amusement parks and the Disney saga rolls on. 402 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:07.519 Also we'll talk little entertainment that's not wholly Disney related, Like I honestly if 403 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.039 you saw the New Roadhouse, because I watched The New Roadhouse the other day 404 00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:16.440 and I I still don't know how I feel about it. And look, 405 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:20.799 I'll be the first one to be hyper critical I think on a lot of 406 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:30.720 productions. But also I think that I'm able to recognize why a movie is 407 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:36.319 being redone, and that's going to inform a lot of how I may feel 408 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:39.240 about it. Right, Because chances are the only reason you're redoing a movie 409 00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:44.200 is you just want to get it ready for a modern audience. Right, 410 00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:49.240 You're like, so take any like what if Tony Montana was gay or trans 411 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.880 right, and you're like, all right, we're gonna redo Scarface. That's 412 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:57.880 what people are not responding well to. But there are many times where you 413 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.000 could do an updated version of a movie. You could do an expansion of 414 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:05.880 it. Ross just saw you just saw the new Ghostbusters right last week or 415 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:09.599 whatever the newest of the new I guess you had the one with the key. 416 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:13.159 You know, we enjoyed the kids. This is the one past that 417 00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:17.519 you went all right, so yeah, good right. And we also recognized 418 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:25.440 that the the women's the women Ghostbusters thing was dog crap, and of course 419 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:28.719 they would tell, well you think that because it's women. No, no, 420 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.960 no, no. It was like there was a lot going on now 421 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:35.239 that was that was a matter of there's a difference in tone and delivery, 422 00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.960 and they were yes, And I liked I liked the people who were in 423 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.559 that movie generally, right, like Melissae McCarthy. I'm fine with her. 424 00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.119 Again, I think the Sean Spicer things. Senl is one of my favorite, 425 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:50.880 beloved Kristin Wig and I felt like they took the Ghostbusters, which are 426 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.239 like smart funny, if that makes sense, and they turned it into like 427 00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:58.880 zany wacky funny. And part of it had to do with what was the 428 00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:01.079 thing there was, like there was no script, right, weren't they improving? 429 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:05.239 Most of those scenes was the DNS And that's not surprising to hear, 430 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:13.079 oh, drink of water here, maybe it's a ghost. I don't know 431 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.400 anyway, So that didn't work, and it didn't work for a lot of 432 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.880 reasons. One coming out and knowing that you're going to have a crap product, 433 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:24.360 so you you go on the offense if you're like, just so you 434 00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.639 know when you see this, if you don't like it, you hate women 435 00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.480 right well, and it's like, well, one, you're poisoning the well 436 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:35.199 there. But two Also, I think people felt a lot of disrespect when 437 00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:40.360 you got some of the original actors back but then made them play other parts. 438 00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:45.880 So Bill Murray isn't his character in that one, but you know that 439 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:51.480 has progressed, and in the new one they do honor the legacy of the 440 00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:58.199 characters. I remember they were interviewing they even tried debate who we just talked 441 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.280 about this off the year the other day, who's the who's the black Ghostbuster? 442 00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:05.360 I can't remember the actor Winston when I know it was that dad, 443 00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:07.639 I can't remember the actor's name. But anyway, they were interviewing that guy, 444 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.559 and they were and they were the reporter was straight picking a fight. 445 00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:16.000 He's like, so, how did you feel finding out that is the fourth 446 00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:22.239 Ghostbuster and the only Ghostbuster of color that you were making considerably less than you 447 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.639 know, Ackroyd and Murray in the movie. And he's like, he just 448 00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:31.840 looks at him like because they're Ackroyd and Murray and also they had like producer 449 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:36.000 writer credits, they got paid for it. That's a that's Ernie Hudson. 450 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:38.800 Ernie Hudson. Yeah, and he's just looking at him like what there's no 451 00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:43.519 fight here, right like because that was Bill Murray in the early eighties and 452 00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:50.280 Dan, yes, yes, I give you a hint. The h what's 453 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:54.960 it? What is? What is it? Arguably the bigger name in that 454 00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:01.000 movie aside those two was who's the nerve? Why am I? Rick moranis? 455 00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:05.320 Rick branis who? Let you know, Rick Moranas is an amazing story 456 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:08.920 when you look at why he left where like where he just there's a big 457 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:15.360 arc there when it comes to his comedy. It's sort of like when you 458 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.719 learn how Bob Sagett really was before Full House, right, You're like, 459 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.000 oh my god, this Bob Saget sack. Rick moranis was very sort of 460 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.119 cutting edge like that too, but you start thinking of him as the nerdy 461 00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.599 character all the time, and you're right. And then he left the movies 462 00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.519 because his wife got sick and passed away and he wanted to take care of 463 00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:35.519 his children. And it's yeah, very noble and then I think what the 464 00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.760 thing they got him out for was what a mint mobile commercial? Right? 465 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:43.920 And I think because him and the Deadpool actor, like, I think they 466 00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.880 both have some financial thing in that. But yeah, but Rick moranis was 467 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:52.599 Arguably he was you could say he was probably what the third biggest name in 468 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.639 that movie at the time, right, because he had done a little shop 469 00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:01.000 and and he didn't make close to what mariinnat Croid did. But yeah, 470 00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:04.440 so you tell you that Ernie Hudson's looking at him like, what what does 471 00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.280 it mean? You also at Sigourney Weaver? Right, Oh that's right. 472 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.119 I'm sorry, Yes, Sigourney Weaver. Uh, well, yes, I 473 00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:12.760 guess we're gonna go. You have a lot of big names in that film, 474 00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:15.639 and it's not surprising that Ernie Hudson, not because of racism but just 475 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:19.559 because of name recognition, wasn't dead as much. Yeah, in the recent 476 00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.480 film though, when we saw a few weeks ago, he has a big 477 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.159 I mean, he's a major, big part of this movie. What's good? 478 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:31.320 That's you know? He also, uh, what was what else did 479 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.280 you say? I try to remember the other thing he said in the interview. 480 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.119 He's just basically he was just like, this is amazing. I just 481 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.760 you know, I'm a Ghostbuster and I'll always be a Ghostbuster. So next 482 00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:44.119 question. So kudos to him for the answer. But now I'm glad this 483 00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:46.119 they gave him an expanded part there. I don't even know what the premise 484 00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:49.960 of it is, right, I'm assuming the kids leave the cornfield and the 485 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.559 head of the city. Yeah it does. It takes place in the city 486 00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:53.719 yet, and there's a lot of good cameos in it. All right, 487 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.480 cool, I'm looking forward to that, so like it can be done and 488 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:01.320 then with the Roadhouse like but the difference to with this Ghostbusters film. It 489 00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:06.239 was a good story. It had good writing, like it felt like an 490 00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.239 old Ghostbusters movie. I mean, we really so weird. It's from the 491 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.639 money. It looks like that's worked out for them. But with the revenue 492 00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:15.920 they're making off of it, man, I wonder if the other studios might 493 00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:22.280 wish to emulate this model. Good writing, not a bunch of identity politics 494 00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:27.599 and characters that people actually care about. Now that you mentioned it, I 495 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.920 can't think of I'm sure it was there and just I didn't notice it, 496 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:35.480 but there wasn't like any over knocking you over the head politics in it or 497 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:42.679 woke stuff. There really wasn't not not that immediately comes to mind. Somebody, 498 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.719 I did see somebody write something about one of I don't I don't know 499 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:49.559 any of the protagonists, so or the antagonist. Excuse me, I don't 500 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:53.039 even know who the bad he is in that. But somebody was saying something. 501 00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:57.599 But I mean because I didn't care, but because there's people where it's 502 00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.480 sort of like you have race hustlers and now you have these like well custlers 503 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.480 who are always looking for something to attack or say it is is woken you 504 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.920 should boycott it or this. So if you're going to reach I'm sure you 505 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.679 could say, well, the female young female Ghostbusters, this is a woman's 506 00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:14.119 empowerment movement. Well nah, I really. I mean she's the daughter of 507 00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:16.039 the one Ghostbuster who has passed away, so I mean she has there's a 508 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.400 purpose for her being there. Yes, And she's not a perfect Mary Sue 509 00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.960 character. She makes a big mistake in this movie and she redeems herself. 510 00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:27.639 So that's a that's fine, that's a new thing. There's a hero's journey 511 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:30.480 there, which is missing in a lot of these films. In these days. 512 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.840 It's like you're just the perfect character and you have no flaws, and 513 00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.400 I think it was great for you. And it's that that's not relatable. 514 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:38.880 People can't relate to that. I can relate to that. That's pretty much 515 00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:44.239 how I'm always right. Yeah, I started doing radio when I was two. 516 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:46.719 I didn't have a first word. I had a first fifteen minute opening 517 00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:52.000 segment commentary. It's just a fun fact there. So yeah, we'll get 518 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:57.199 into you know, we're just talking about the the the grievance mongers, the 519 00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:59.760 the wold custlers. I gotta find this. I just I was looking for 520 00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.800 it the break. Maybe it's on College Fix. I was scrolling Twitter yesterday 521 00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.000 and there was this this dude, who's where And he looks like he's just 522 00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:13.480 trying to walk through this area on campus, and he's wearing a shirt that 523 00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:19.639 says USA two undefeated, two time World War Champion, Right, you've probably 524 00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:24.880 seen that before. And this this moonbat student just she starts losing it on 525 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:30.960 this dude. She's very She's just like and she's going, did we did 526 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:36.480 we? Yeah? We did? Wait? Wait wait that we came out 527 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.920 of the war as a superpower. So yeah, there's a reason we really 528 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.760 win too. He did, though, why the dollar is the dollar today? 529 00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:44.519 I feel like if he didn't win, right, if the only said 530 00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.280 one, I don't know if he's done the German marketing weapons of mass destruction 531 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.199 on the on the world. I think it was her point, the rosses 532 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:55.800 of the opinion. We did win and we are undefeated in World Wars. 533 00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.719 So wow. I mean, there's some people to say you might have gotten 534 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.039 some help from Britain or Canada or Australia or whatever. I mean, and 535 00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:08.159 that's your opinion. Well, that's true, that's you know, right, 536 00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:13.679 you know, if you're or even the dare you say, the Soviet Union 537 00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:15.559 at the time. Yeah, apparently they lost a few people. I don't 538 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:19.800 know. I think there's yeah, there was, there was there was one 539 00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.639 or two. In fact, let's get the Palm Beach Post editorial to estimate 540 00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:27.679 how many they lost. Yeah, yeah, but did we You didn't answer 541 00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:31.360 the question, but I did answer, did we really win? It's apparently 542 00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:37.960 open for interpretation. A loon man just triggered by his shirt and the dude 543 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:40.639 is clearly in the in the video, and I will find I'm gonna find 544 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:45.760 this damn thing in the video. It's it's not one of these where he's 545 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:46.800 you know, he's over. He's like, ah, the moon bats are 546 00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:50.800 on the quad. Let me get shirts that will trigger them and then just 547 00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:55.000 stroll around with your chest puffed out trying to walk across like he's got stuck. 548 00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:58.079 And he looks like he's in a hurry too. I mean, it's 549 00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:00.599 a meme shirt. Like it's become a mean three year letterman uses it all 550 00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:05.679 the time, right, he used to trigger people, dumb people. Well, 551 00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:09.519 it works like a charm. Apparently did we win? Did we? 552 00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:14.960 Yes? Yeah? We uh, we just looked it up. Apparently we 553 00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:21.840 did all right, seven seven seven seven seventeen. I yes, sidetrack by 554 00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:28.639 all that stupidity. China's really upset, speaking of global issues, but they're 555 00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:37.079 they're mad at the Netflix. Yeah, you know what I gotta I'm here 556 00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:40.920 for it, China. Netflix. It's the whole Godzilla meme. Right, 557 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.880 let them fight, right, I'm here for this, but I'm gonna have 558 00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:52.599 to back Netflix here because it's the Chinese government. And two, this isn't 559 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.639 new stuff that the this new series is about. It is creepy though, 560 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:01.360 if you've never heard about him, what do you think of the Marxist cultural 561 00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:07.840 revolution. I think what most people in vision is the the struggle session. 562 00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:13.280 That famous photo where you have the the landlords or these uh yeah landlords who 563 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.119 were standing up there like their Abu grab prisoners with the sign around their neck 564 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:21.480 while everyone screams at him like that. That was very real. But also 565 00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:30.360 what was very real is genocide and uh and with genocide, the you know, 566 00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:37.760 basically the large, large scale starving and decimation of huge lots of population 567 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:43.719 for these big projects, the purging of any politics or thoughts that may go 568 00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:50.920 up against uh Mao and his team. The atrocities were numerous, and one 569 00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:59.400 that I think a lot of people don't know about is the the Gwanjee uh 570 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:06.480 the Gwanji cannibal stuff. And if you don't know about this, I'll fill 571 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:07.960 you in because you know, we learned stuff and we'll do it next. 572 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.239 Hang on, this is pretty dark what I'm about to tell you, but 573 00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:14.639 I think it's necessary, especially because of the kicking and screaming on the part 574 00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:22.760 of China. So the folks over at Netflix have a new a new offering. 575 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:29.119 It's called Three Body Problem and it is loosely based on an individual set 576 00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:35.960 of incidents within a larger problem that gripped China during the Cultural Revolution, specifically 577 00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:45.519 in Wufusheng and the Guanshi province. Right. So this is I'm not sure 578 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:51.000 where the percentage of the population is, but within the individual provinces and then 579 00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:54.800 the counties within them, local Communist Party leaders pretty much had free reign as 580 00:45:54.840 --> 00:46:00.960 long as they were out there, you know, purging dissidence, and they 581 00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.840 could do it through re education, or they could do it in the way 582 00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:07.239 that they chose to, mostly by murdering them or starving them to death. 583 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:14.760 And as a result, the Cultural Revolution killed tens of millions, five to 584 00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:19.960 seven million, I think, just in Guangxi, right and along the Yellow 585 00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:23.800 River. So and that doesn't even account for all of the deaths following that 586 00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:28.760 when they started changing fundamentally damming and changing so many parts of the river, 587 00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:31.519 and they would just be like, oh, yeah, this town of people 588 00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:35.840 who are agricultural subsistence farmers, Yeah, this is going to be a lake 589 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:42.719 now, bye bye. So in this case they cover one of the darker 590 00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:46.960 aspects of it, and that was the records, which are as far as 591 00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:52.360 I know, not disputed and across many political ideologies not disputed, and even 592 00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:59.039 researchers in China have spoke to this before, but because it's the focus of 593 00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:02.320 this doc documentary, and it details the roughly one hundred to one hundred and 594 00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:07.199 fifty thousand people who were purged just in this area. And when I say 595 00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:16.000 purged, I mean they were boiled, they were let's see here, disemboweling, 596 00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:22.719 live burial, and the list went on, and they had a couple 597 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:30.280 unique little twists like if you were a student in you know, whatever level 598 00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:38.480 of school and your teacher is deviating from you know, Mao's thinking, you 599 00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:45.239 were encouraged to execute the teacher. And it took place. It took place 600 00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:52.840 on multiple occasions, including in nineteen sixty eight when middle school students were who 601 00:47:52.920 --> 00:48:00.000 were not happy with the instruction by their teacher as it deviated from the stand 602 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:06.880 under communist rhetoric, reportedly beat their teacher to death, drug her body outside 603 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:12.280 to the flat stones of the Quan River, and then Communist Party officials who 604 00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:17.000 were they were stationed in schools, so they were there forced another teacher who 605 00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:22.159 had the students had said was friends with the teacher who they had just beaten 606 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:25.440 to death. Remember, these are middle school students. The party officials forced 607 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:30.639 the other teacher to remove her friend's heart and liver, at which point they 608 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:36.960 headed back to the school, where they barbecued and consumed the organs. Because 609 00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:42.679 part of the ideology there was the total domination of your ideological opponents, which 610 00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:45.239 required this. The majority of the one hundred and fifty thousand who were said 611 00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:52.280 to be killed were landowners as well as the intellectual class, teachers and whatnot. 612 00:48:52.719 --> 00:49:00.280 And they researchers were able to independently document one hundred and thirty seven people, 613 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:04.719 though they they're confident in saying the number was four hundred and twenty one 614 00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:10.639 who were ritualistically eaten. And in fact, it was so common that they 615 00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:16.400 had classism break out right in this communist utopia, as you know, where 616 00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:23.000 everyone is equal, almost everyone is equally worthless, and then the higher ups 617 00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:30.440 do what they want. So they had let's see here, all right, 618 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:36.880 So they had an edict come down, and in it the leaders and party 619 00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:40.320 officials were allowed to feast on the heart and liver, and then they had 620 00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:46.679 a dish where they mixed it with pork sausage. However, ordinary villagers could 621 00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:52.400 face execution if they were to eat the heart and liver without making it available 622 00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:58.719 to leadership. Villagers were allowed only to remove areas of the victim's arms and 623 00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:02.400 thighs for consumption, but could not eat the organs, which were seen as 624 00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:07.599 the I guess the good stuff, and you wonder why somebody ate a pengulin. 625 00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:15.679 So yeah. Following more information coming to light about this period, in 626 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:22.239 an effort to downplay some of the you know, the really gruesome stuff, 627 00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:29.480 the Communist Party decided to do its own investigation, during which they arrived at 628 00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:34.960 the conclusion that only thirty eight people were eaten. Fifteen people were prosecuted and 629 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:37.559 received essentially fourteen years in prison, but then were let go like a year 630 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:44.320 later, and any party official or higher up who was not necessarily a party 631 00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:49.480 member but still part of the program they received a five to ten percent salary 632 00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:55.880 cut for eating their opponents. So yeah, so that's what the show's about. 633 00:50:55.880 --> 00:51:01.960 In China's big mad So that's a that's a thing. So so they 634 00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:07.639 murdered. Even under your own admission, you had a party higher ups that 635 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:15.039 executed uh and then consumed fellow citizens, and you you you gave them a 636 00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:22.360 pay cut. That's crazy. Man. But hey, that's again, this 637 00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:28.599 is why I like history, not because everything's good, but because arguably everything's 638 00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.280 important. And I want to hear the We just didn't try it right, 639 00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:36.159 people explain, you know where you just get up in the middle of the 640 00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:38.000 lecture, right, you don't like what's going on in math class today, 641 00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:39.800 and you're just like, you know what, I'm uh, let's just let's 642 00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:45.079 eat the teacher. Then we don't have to do this. But uh, 643 00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:46.880 you know, good luck convincing folks on that, all right, eight eight 644 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:53.639 eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Seattle with a rather interesting move. 645 00:51:53.639 --> 00:52:00.239 They got a they got an equity problem. Well they don't really they 646 00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:05.199 they have a moonbat problem. But we'll let you know what it is they've 647 00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:14.159 decided to do. And again it's like Seattle has like an inferiority complex against 648 00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:19.000 San Francisco when it comes to who can out moon bat the other ones. 649 00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.559 And since we're in the Pacific Northwest, what the state of Oregon has done 650 00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:30.920 or I guess undone? And just how poorly this whole thing was handled with 651 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:37.079 their Hey, let's make all the drugs legal is pretty crazy. There's some 652 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:40.440 stuff I didn't realize that maybe people who don't live in Oregon didn't realize. 653 00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:43.880 But I do want to share that with you. But first you want to 654 00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:47.079 share the weather with rage Age because he's ready to rock and roll. What's 655 00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:51.559 going on with man? Yeah? How much are you? I don't know. 656 00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:54.159 Ross's team borrowed my wide receiver and then instead of giving him back, 657 00:52:54.199 --> 00:53:00.079 they gave him to Houston going on. Yeah, I did see that. 658 00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.039 Yeah, Stefan DAGs going to Houston. Man, Yeah, that's a little 659 00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:07.760 that was a little unusual. I didn't think that he would leave, but 660 00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:10.719 uh, well, yeah, he he went through this whole period with the 661 00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:15.480 Vikings where he was, he was, he was all the time, he 662 00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:20.679 was bitching because yeah, that dude, dude is by polar. The problem 663 00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:23.679 was is he had at that time, he had theling and he had you 664 00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:29.119 know, we had three Pro Bowl receivers and he wasn't getting the ball. 665 00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.920 And then he goes to Buffalo and he was the man and now and then 666 00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:37.440 he wasn't and now he's upset again. So whatever. But yeah, and 667 00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:42.239 then I'll go to Houston and probably repeat the whole thing over. No, 668 00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:44.360 no, no, Now he'll probably win the Super Bowl because that would be 669 00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:50.159 the most thing ever. Ross has already taken this to the darkest logical conclusion 670 00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.960 for him. But look, Houston's got a good team now. Stroud holds 671 00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:58.559 up man a lot of a lot of players around him. Fourth eighteenth, 672 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.760 three weeks from tonight's the draft. How about that and next week's and we'll 673 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:09.400 see. Oh that's right, it starts next week. Updates in the weather, 674 00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:14.519 Yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, what are we dealing with? 675 00:54:14.599 --> 00:54:17.239 Man, If you don't like the cold, breezy weather, you could 676 00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:20.480 turn it off for a couple of seconds. When we get to the weekend 677 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:24.199 and early next week, it does get better. Start to see the clouds 678 00:54:24.199 --> 00:54:29.159 increase from west to east. Still a few breaks, but they're gonna go 679 00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:32.519 away eventually. There's more sun east now of Raleigh, and still some sundown 680 00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:37.119 Fayetteville. But we are seeing even the clouds there come in and we might 681 00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:39.239 get a few showers. This supper level low to our northwest is just stubborn 682 00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:43.800 and sticking around, and until it kicks out, we'll keep that shower threat. 683 00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:46.639 It's not gonna be a bunch numbers today, way down only near fifty 684 00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:52.079 tonight in the mid upper thirties and a chance of a few showers, a 685 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:54.519 passing shower Tomorrow, a lot of clouds and still a light breeze and cool 686 00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:59.840 again, upper forties to near fifty. And then by the weekend we'll start 687 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.079 slowly getting milder. Thirties again Saturday morning, low fifties in the afternoon, 688 00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:07.239 partial sun and then upper fifties on Sunday and mostly sunny. Get into the 689 00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:13.320 sixties Monday, sunshine expected for whatever the percentage we get here the eclipse, 690 00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:15.679 I don't know, sixty or seventy or whatever. Maybe less as you go 691 00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:19.239 toward the trying a little bit more as you get into the mountains. But 692 00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:22.719 I think the warming trend will continue into Tuesday, into the mid sixties, 693 00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:27.679 so it'll get better. It'll be a slow process, but no big warm 694 00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.880 up. Next couple of days kind of cloudy at times, might be like, 695 00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:32.280 oh was that a shower? It really won't be much at all. 696 00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:37.960 All right, Well, we'll complain when we get there, So no card, 697 00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:40.039 Thank you much, sir, appreciate it now, Ross, I was 698 00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:45.519 just reading. I was reading this quote from Brandon Bean who for those you 699 00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:50.639 who knows the GM from the bills. He claims that Josh Allen wasn't told 700 00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:52.920 and found out at the same time as the general public. Do you believe 701 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:57.599 that? I don't know. I don't. I don't think any quarterback who's 702 00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:02.000 the you know, a franchise quarterback, You're you're moving a wide receiver without 703 00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:06.280 talking to him. So, but I don't know. Maybe they're just trying 704 00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:08.280 to in some ways say face. I think you're right though, because that 705 00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:14.559 the wide receiver room is getting bigger and younger. Yeah, and then Diggs 706 00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:16.159 is like, man, I'm out. Yeah, I don't. I don't 707 00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:21.599 know that. I believe that they did not say anything. But any who, 708 00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:23.239 all right, let me do this. We'll take a break again. 709 00:56:23.280 --> 00:56:28.920 Stephen Kent will join us. We got Disney stuff, theme park stuff, 710 00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:34.000 the new Silver Surfer. That's I'm sure some people are real, real pumped 711 00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.119 for that. We'll get into all of it more coming up here on the 712 00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:42.239 CaCO Day radio program. Oh apparently I'm getting ahead of myself. All right, 713 00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:49.039 Chris, what's up? Hey, Hey, Casey, Hey. I 714 00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:52.360 appreciate that you're getting all excited for the Masters next week, right, but 715 00:56:53.400 --> 00:57:00.840 it's probably not gonna happen because of the eclipse and when the polls flip. 716 00:57:00.840 --> 00:57:05.800 It's it's going to freeze everything. And I got you don't play I mean 717 00:57:05.840 --> 00:57:08.039 they play it. You can play a practice round on Monday, but the 718 00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:15.320 tournaments, you know, Thursday, sir, so well there everything will be 719 00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:21.280 dead. But anyway, you're overlooking a bigger event, arguably a bigger event 720 00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:25.840 in WrestleMania forty this weekend in Philadelphia. I mean it's a big event, 721 00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:30.840 don't get me wrong, and all that. The Masters, bro, come 722 00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:37.800 on, I can't know after what they did, What's who's the Chelsea Green. 723 00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:40.639 I'm not up on all my female wrestlers. Admittedly, sir, after 724 00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:44.079 what happened to Chelsea Green, I don't know if they're gonna be able to 725 00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:45.360 do it. And for those of you who don't, i'll tell you in 726 00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:49.840 a second. All right, Well, look, I'm glad you're excited about 727 00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:53.400 that, sir. And I'm sure Ross will have you know, probably incorporate 728 00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:57.480 some of his stupid walk on music in the library that he missed labels so 729 00:57:57.519 --> 00:58:00.280 I can't find it and delete it, and then we'll get to the Masters. 730 00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:06.199 Okay, all right, yeah, I will, especially if I find 731 00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:12.880 those beds. Are they the ones labeled not ww E? Beds. Others 732 00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.679 are not all right because it says not there. I won't even check that. 733 00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:19.320 Yeah, I was reading this story, this is won't you do here? 734 00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:24.679 So on Monday, of course you had Monday Night Raw which where were 735 00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:29.719 they at the Barclay Center, so in New York. And one of the 736 00:58:29.800 --> 00:58:37.840 matches was Chelsea Green, who wrestled Natalia. Again I'm not sorry, I'm 737 00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:43.079 just not up on this enough to but she's described as pretty good and it 738 00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:47.000 was a big match, and now she's headed into WrestleMania. So the problem 739 00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:53.679 was she does that and then they had them, They had them all up 740 00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:58.320 at one of the I think of the Fairmont, which is a nice hotel. 741 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:01.800 That's where they had the wrestlers. So after the rest after the event, 742 00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:08.119 she heads back. Yeah which fair Oh was the Plausa Okay, so 743 00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:12.800 yeah it was the Plaza. I didn't know which of the Fairmonts. Yeah, 744 00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:16.920 well so the Plaza hotels pretty nice. The problem happened as she returned 745 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:23.920 from the event, and I guess she went into the lounge area, at 746 00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:31.800 which point Green says, hotel staff immediately descended upon her, and at first 747 00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:38.360 she couldn't figure out what was going on. But eventually, as they informed 748 00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:43.599 her that she was going to have to leave the premises, she started protesting. 749 00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.719 While I'm staying here, and she says that staff did not believe her, 750 00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:53.960 and eventually one of them commented that she could not work the bar, 751 00:59:54.159 --> 01:00:00.480 and she realized they thought she was a prostitute. That's like going up and 752 01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:05.360 asking a woman with a little bit of a belly when she's due. That's 753 01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:08.079 not gonna end well for you. So yes, the staff of the plaza 754 01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:15.679 thought because of the way I and I don't know exactly how she was dressed. 755 01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:19.519 I did look at a couple photos. I mean, she's in an 756 01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:22.559 visual entertainment medium. She shows off the goods, you catch them a drift. 757 01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:29.559 But also, how do you just roll up on and immediately assume that's 758 01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:34.280 a prostitute without doing anything to determine based on how badly this could go for 759 01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:38.559 you? But apparently that's what happens. Eventually, she says she was able 760 01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:44.559 to explain to him, hey, no, no, no, I'm not 761 01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:47.920 a hooker. I'm a wrestler. Now to say, I will say this, 762 01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:52.920 though, the sheer volume of female wrestlers who are putting out pretty consistent 763 01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:59.639 porn movies. This is I guess you had a few of those over the 764 01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:04.159 last a few years. I don't know. Maybe somebody got confused with something 765 01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:08.239 they're watching, but that's that's that. I've not seen a response from the 766 01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:15.559 from the PLAUSEA on this. I don't know. Can you stay there at 767 01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:19.000 that point? Again? Maybe if you give you a fat like the Donald 768 01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:24.440 Trump upgrade. Man. Yeah, she said, one night you're you're wrestling 769 01:01:24.519 --> 01:01:28.519 at Barcley Center, having the time of your life, and then later you're 770 01:01:28.599 --> 01:01:31.480 kicked out of the the plaza and accused of being an escort because of your 771 01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:37.599 outfit. Yeah, you gotta check. The other thing is too. I 772 01:01:37.719 --> 01:01:44.400 have to assume that the staff at the hotel knew that it was chock full 773 01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:51.039 of wrestlers, Like they knew there was gonna be some interesting characters in there. 774 01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:55.440 They just had to because again, it's not like it was just one 775 01:01:55.519 --> 01:02:00.760 room booked. It was basically where they put everybody. So there's your lesson 776 01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:06.119 for the day. Don't assume somebody's pregnant or a hooker. Steven Kent joins 777 01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:08.239 us, as per usual, how are you doing this morning, Stephen? 778 01:02:09.320 --> 01:02:13.159 Very good, casey, nice to be with you. I'm gonna start with 779 01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:15.920 a softball Laura Croft over the Mario brothers. Are you frigging kidding me? 780 01:02:16.199 --> 01:02:22.480 For those of you who don't know, because I didn't tease this story yesterday 781 01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:27.400 or no two days ago at the baft does I understand you're dealing with a 782 01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:32.840 British audience. The BAFTA Game Awards voted Laura Croft the most iconic video game 783 01:02:34.559 --> 01:02:40.400 character ever, beating out obviously Mario Sonic One. So what's up with that? 784 01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:45.320 Because that's dumb? That's interesting. Yeah, I wonder if they surveyed 785 01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:52.679 four thousand gamers worldwide, this was like a gamer poll that went out online 786 01:02:52.719 --> 01:02:55.320 around the world. Laura Croft comes out on top. To me, that 787 01:02:55.440 --> 01:03:00.360 seems like a very simple matter of maybe generational cha. Look, I get 788 01:03:00.360 --> 01:03:07.159 that Mario is classic, but Mario is not as popular as it once was. 789 01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:09.480 There's a lot of competition in the video game world these days, and 790 01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:13.440 for people like myself who grew up in the nineties, yeah, Ura Crop 791 01:03:13.480 --> 01:03:16.760 tomb Raider was actually a huge part of the video game experience, right next 792 01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:22.159 to like Crash Bandicoot and Zelda. But I am a little surprised. I 793 01:03:22.159 --> 01:03:28.079 think this might be just a result of girls being more involved in gaming than 794 01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:30.679 they used to be. That's my that's my hot take. Maybe. Yeah, 795 01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:34.159 you know, here's the thing though, and I could go, I 796 01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:38.079 think that that is probably I could get eighty five percent of the way there 797 01:03:38.119 --> 01:03:44.239 where you're at. But you had there not been a resurgence of Mario for 798 01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:49.719 you know, each generation has had a Mario resurgence, you know, whether 799 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:53.920 it's Mario you know, flying with a raccoon tail or Mario driving you know 800 01:03:53.960 --> 01:04:01.199 in a racing iteration like Mario's done okay for mult for decades, right, 801 01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:05.599 always something new. So that's that's yeah. I mean that that ip, 802 01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:11.840 that ip marches on and they're keeping it fresh. The Mario movie was actually 803 01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:16.360 a huge hit and was considered to be incredibly funny. Laura Croft that ip 804 01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:23.519 that's been a sleep for a long long time. Angelina Jolie, I guess 805 01:04:23.519 --> 01:04:28.159 as the as the lead actress in the movies. Nobody talks about that anymore. 806 01:04:28.760 --> 01:04:32.679 Well, no, the one chick took over the alex Alicia of Aconder 807 01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:36.400 Alisha of Aconder in twenty eighteen. Yeah, but I don't know, I 808 01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:41.320 wouldn't call that particularly like a hit. Or a real revival of Laura Croft. 809 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:45.039 I'm surprised as you are. Yeah, by the way, for that 810 01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:50.000 actress. I think her best performance was it so but that's better know that 811 01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:56.000 one you never seen ex Machiana. You've never seen that movie O x O 812 01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:59.320 x Machina. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's her. I 813 01:04:59.320 --> 01:05:02.360 think that's her break co performance. But actually, so you said you said 814 01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:06.880 Mario should have won. Who would be kind of your your number one pick 815 01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:10.800 as well? Like if you took Mario off, who's your who's your runner 816 01:05:10.880 --> 01:05:15.920 up as the most most iconic? Uh? Yeah, and it's not it's 817 01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:20.719 not the Mario franchise because Mario. To me, that's just a super easy 818 01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:26.719 answer, right you know. Yeah, honestly, here you want me to 819 01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:30.199 give you, like the the the Deep Thinker News panel one right where I'm 820 01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:36.280 just in the pot John Madden, Yeah, you are stirring the pot? 821 01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:42.639 Now? How is that not an acceptable answer? You know, sports games 822 01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:46.400 are incredibly popular, right, and so that's that's not only a name, 823 01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:51.320 that's a figure of people vastly appreciate and understand. You know, pac Man 824 01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:55.320 came in it a number to THI Yeah, pac Man, that's another good 825 01:05:55.320 --> 01:05:58.559 thing or master Chief is fine. They got the new have you seen the 826 01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:01.400 new series? Rot I until everything's out before I binge it. Ross has 827 01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:05.880 been very complimentary on the the Halo and I've never I was never into the 828 01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:13.079 games, but apparently the new TV series he's given that two thumbs up. 829 01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:15.400 Well, to be fair, I've never played the games either, so I'm 830 01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:18.000 watching it from the clear clean slate there. But people that are fans of 831 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:21.280 the game are not fan of the series. Oh well, all right, 832 01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:26.320 I like the book people, So yeah, this is this is kind of 833 01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:30.679 where I think the when people ask you what's your favorite movie, casey, 834 01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:32.840 or they ask you what is the greatest movie of all time? Those are 835 01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:38.920 two very different questions. You know, you can like garbage movies and actually 836 01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:43.559 it's considered them to be one of your favorites, like right, yeah, 837 01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:48.280 right, and it's not. It's not a piece of cinema necessarily. But 838 01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:53.440 this is the problem with this question. You know, the most iconic video 839 01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:58.559 game character was the question, and so you get characters like Arthur Morgan from 840 01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:01.880 Red Dead Redemption place now umber eleven in this poll. Arthur Morgan is an 841 01:07:01.880 --> 01:07:06.039 incredible character. Red Dead Redemption is a really great games sort of like the 842 01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:12.880 you're mispronouncing his name Arthur Morgan, No Ross, how do you pronounce the 843 01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:17.679 guy the protagonist from Red Dead Redemption? It's dig Bickham's right, So, 844 01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:25.679 like you think that's a good point that, yeah, you know, Arthur, 845 01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:30.679 that's prestige gaming. That's like really hoiity toydy a MC breaking bad level 846 01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:34.119 television. But for gaming, he is not iconic. He's just a really 847 01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:41.119 great character. Crash Bandicoot and Solid Snake are iconic. They're like coke and 848 01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:45.559 PEPSI uh and so I again, I'm a little surprised that Laura Croft topped 849 01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:46.599 it, but that's fine. She was a cool It's a good game, 850 01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:50.679 okay, all right, Well look and look they're gonna get as much out 851 01:07:50.679 --> 01:07:55.559 of any I P as they can. We've seen Hollywood's uh I would say 852 01:07:55.599 --> 01:07:59.880 ability to do that, but want to do that? And aren't they like 853 01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:03.880 they're reinventing Loura Like they're going back at it right because where they're debating over 854 01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:08.239 whether her body type needs to change, because of course these are the annoying 855 01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:11.440 debates that we have. But they're not done. I think they're working on 856 01:08:11.480 --> 01:08:15.840 something right. Oh, I'm sure they are, And definitely, if there's 857 01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:19.319 some sort of Laura Croft revival within the fandom going on there, they'll definitely 858 01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:24.199 make a game, and they will also probably have her wear a hoodie and 859 01:08:24.279 --> 01:08:28.800 sweatpants. I think that when they release the game, we need to have 860 01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:32.479 photos of any of the female devs and then we'll figure out who just made 861 01:08:32.560 --> 01:08:36.800 themselves, because that's the trend that I tend to notice there. So uh, 862 01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:43.119 all right, let's see here they slip back. Sorry, realize I 863 01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:45.279 closed the other story. I was going to go to damn it. Okay, 864 01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:50.159 there we go, all right, so let's talk. Let's talk Disney 865 01:08:50.319 --> 01:08:53.800 just a little bit. I know we have an updated fully what's going on 866 01:08:53.840 --> 01:08:58.439 down there for a while, But it's more than It's more than just you 867 01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:01.680 know, debating over Disney having special privileges or land use or any of the 868 01:09:01.720 --> 01:09:05.319 rest. You know. Disney is also and I didn't realize it. I 869 01:09:05.319 --> 01:09:10.520 didn't realize the amount of the park that they were essentially shutting down. Now, 870 01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:13.880 the failure that the Star Wars thing has been, and how they've given 871 01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:16.279 up on seemingly all the properties, and then the question becomes, well, 872 01:09:16.359 --> 01:09:21.520 where do they go now, And how does Disney continue to appeal to this 873 01:09:21.640 --> 01:09:28.079 next generation, and how do they do it in spite of the popularity of 874 01:09:28.199 --> 01:09:31.199 anime, which I admittedly is something I and Ross are not. I don't 875 01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:34.680 know much about. I thought it was called hentai for a while. I've 876 01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:39.359 been corrected. I'm just not into it. That's another thing about it. 877 01:09:40.079 --> 01:09:44.359 It's all the same, the same. Yeah, this tentacles and weirdly drawn 878 01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:48.079 eyes. Right. So, but I can't deny you can't deny the reality 879 01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:55.319 that anime, especially among the lat the two youngest generations, is seemingly much 880 01:09:55.319 --> 01:10:00.479 more expansive, uh, you know, within them. But that's not Disney's 881 01:10:00.479 --> 01:10:02.840 forte. So let's let's get into that. How do you adapt and overcome 882 01:10:02.960 --> 01:10:09.479 when Star Wars couldn't money? Just man, So there's a lot there. 883 01:10:10.159 --> 01:10:14.000 We'll start real quick with just Disney World and Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. That 884 01:10:14.079 --> 01:10:18.279 park has not performed like Disney hoped it would. Uh, they are at 885 01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:24.800 least shrinking development and expansion of that park. I don't anticipate it being closed 886 01:10:25.039 --> 01:10:30.319 down. Yes, the hotel is dead. The hotel is dead. Massive 887 01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:34.439 advancement. I don't expect Galaxy's Edge to go anywhere. But this is kind 888 01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:40.640 of a great example of where Disney has mismanaged that intellectual property, the fact 889 01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:45.760 that Galaxy's Edge, the Disneyland Star Wars park is based in the pretty unpopular 890 01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:50.319 sequel trilogy after Return of the Jedi in the timeline, and when you go 891 01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:56.680 to that park you encounter Rey BB eight, Kylo Ren and all of these 892 01:10:56.720 --> 01:11:01.159 new characters instead of Star Wars that p belove, which would be the Empire 893 01:11:01.359 --> 01:11:06.000 era, you know, Darth Vader, Princess Leah Luke, Skywalker. It's 894 01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:12.520 actually an incredible failure in their thinking on that park, and the best thing 895 01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:15.640 they could do to save it would be to actually just what you would say 896 01:11:15.760 --> 01:11:19.680 is reskim the park, you know, different characters and just move the park 897 01:11:19.760 --> 01:11:24.079 into a different part of the timeline. But that is not going to save 898 01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:27.479 the core fundamentals of Disney, which is that a lot of their IP is 899 01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:32.520 considered to be pretty stodgy. With young consumers today who love anime more than 900 01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:39.760 anything, we are way beyond the world of princesses and fairy tales that Disney 901 01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:45.119 has thrived in for so long, and young people by and large like Japanese 902 01:11:45.239 --> 01:11:48.239 imported anime programming, and we can kind of go into the specifics of what 903 01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:51.960 that is and is not. But you know, even compared to the super 904 01:11:53.000 --> 01:12:01.640 Bowl, the super Bowl has nothing on Netflix's average watch viewership with gen Z 905 01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:10.920 subscribers for their anime program and yeah, yeah, just the amount of titles 906 01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:13.640 that they have on there. And I've seen let's talk a little about what 907 01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:16.840 it is, you know, to see it as a Japanese kind of graphic 908 01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:20.279 novel comic book, I guess, and you can come if you think that 909 01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:26.079 that's not a fair definition. But what it is or what it isn't And 910 01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:30.039 I've seen a lot of people argue, this is it. It hasn't been 911 01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:34.039 tainted. It hasn't been tainted. And when I say tainted, I mean 912 01:12:34.479 --> 01:12:41.840 properties that have been you know, redone to modern audiences every time they've tried 913 01:12:41.880 --> 01:12:45.239 to redo. And I'll give you the probably the biggest example on Netflix was 914 01:12:45.239 --> 01:12:49.359 what Cowboy Bebop? Right, which was an immensely popular anime, and the 915 01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:54.359 way that they decided to kick it off is they the the woman I can't 916 01:12:54.359 --> 01:13:00.199 remember the actress's name, she filmed a video berating male viewers and over the 917 01:13:00.239 --> 01:13:04.079 fact that her she didn't dress like the character. It was obviously like in 918 01:13:04.199 --> 01:13:10.920 many anime, it's a character that has exaggerated features, especially female features, 919 01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:15.600 tight clothing. Uh, It's it was known, but you could tell that 920 01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:18.920 they made an effort to not just attempt to as closely as possible follow it, 921 01:13:19.279 --> 01:13:25.439 but to outright reject it and then make one of these dumb videos like 922 01:13:25.520 --> 01:13:29.039 this, like the Snow White Chick, where you're on camera going, you're 923 01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:30.560 all stupid, you are your a bunch of pervs. This is what we're 924 01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:35.920 gonna do. And that thing failed miserably. So every time they've tried to 925 01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:40.079 screw with the product, people have rebelled. I know that there are some 926 01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:44.359 that are upset. They're saying that the translations are having woke stuff put in 927 01:13:44.439 --> 01:13:48.239 there, But ultimately consumers want purity of product there. And if you're Disney 928 01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:51.319 and you monkey with everything, how the hell do you do that? And 929 01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:56.000 and Disney is way down the rabbit hole with monkeying with a lot of different 930 01:13:56.039 --> 01:14:01.159 classic ip whereas anime that's being imported from a bra is more reflective of Eastern 931 01:14:01.279 --> 01:14:08.119 values, Japanese traditions and sensibilities. Now you do have some instances, I 932 01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:14.239 forget what the word is called, but when Western developers and managers are tinkering 933 01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:20.279 with the dialogue to adapt to sort of Western sensibilities. But by and large, 934 01:14:20.319 --> 01:14:27.680 anime has been inoculated from the culture wars that we're experiencing in the United 935 01:14:27.680 --> 01:14:30.960 States and the Western world more broadly, and people love it. Gen Z 936 01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:35.800 watch anime more than any other property, and that's why you had Netflix do 937 01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:42.000 this adaptation of that graphic novel one Piece, and One Piece has been incredibly 938 01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:45.279 successful on Netflix. It's very true to the anime tradition, and that's why 939 01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:50.439 you also have a resurgence of anime even in other parts of the world. 940 01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:58.159 Saudi Arabia, of all places, is building a Dragon ball Z theme park, 941 01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:02.479 the world's first. It's it's incredible. Currently building everything right now. 942 01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:09.479 Everything's in Saudi Arabia. Cracks the new race track, they're building a whole 943 01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:14.600 city. They're like, uh, you know, they want an additional you 944 01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:17.920 know, they're working with Turkey to cut an additional Cora Canal, right, 945 01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:21.359 Like, I mean, I believe it. I just got back from Dubai 946 01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:28.520 Casey and Dubai was just kind of one of the most opulent. It's strange. 947 01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:31.960 Fa Yeah, it's I mean, it's kind of like going like through 948 01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:38.239 the most newly developed communities in Miami and then dropping them into the desert and 949 01:15:38.239 --> 01:15:42.640 going like this feels like I'm in some sort of fake city. But look, 950 01:15:42.920 --> 01:15:46.399 I think it's pretty cool. Dragon Ball Z is the most popular anime 951 01:15:46.560 --> 01:15:51.000 product in the United States, and Saudi Arabia is going to have the claim 952 01:15:51.039 --> 01:15:56.359 to the first theme park. This is what my generation grew up watching on 953 01:15:56.439 --> 01:16:00.840 Cartoon Network in a series called Tsunami. If you came home home from school 954 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:02.720 at the middle of the afternoon, around four pm, you got off the 955 01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:05.920 school bus, you went into the house, and you watched Dragon ball Z 956 01:16:06.159 --> 01:16:11.560 first thing when you got home from school, and that popularity has only continued 957 01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:15.600 to grow since my generation entered the real world. Now, that's so, 958 01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:19.159 that's straight. Now, hold you, Stephen, this so we're thirty five, 959 01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:24.079 Okay, so you're you're you're you know, but you're not even ten 960 01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:28.119 years younger than me. I know nothing about Dragon ball Z. And it 961 01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:31.239 shows you how quickly this changes. Right, That's why Ross and I contend 962 01:16:31.359 --> 01:16:35.319 like we're basically the same age. So like there's a lot of overlap on 963 01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:41.560 what we watch. So this is why I bring this up, because anime 964 01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:48.560 is is so staunch in not comporting to the the woke stuff and gen Z 965 01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:53.359 can't get enough of it. What does that say about gen Z? Some 966 01:16:53.399 --> 01:16:57.199 would say that that says something good, like maybe they're sick of this stuff 967 01:16:57.199 --> 01:17:02.000 too. From what I have seen, I can't pull up any specific research 968 01:17:02.039 --> 01:17:04.680 for you right now, but what I have seen is that they are pretty 969 01:17:04.680 --> 01:17:11.800 exhausted with millennial pearl clutching over political correctness and free speech issues. Gen Z 970 01:17:12.119 --> 01:17:16.520 does have some very weird left wing quirks gender politics among them, but when 971 01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:23.560 it comes to free speech expression and political correctness, as gen X would also 972 01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:28.880 appreciate as a terminology because that's kind of where this's all started, they're pretty 973 01:17:28.960 --> 01:17:33.239 tired of it all and there is a little bit of a less puritanical attitude 974 01:17:33.239 --> 01:17:39.880 about those things with gen Z and jen Alpha beneath them, and anime appeals 975 01:17:39.880 --> 01:17:45.479 to those things. It's both very macho and hyper feminine. It's also very 976 01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:50.960 violent, and it's just a cool graphic style that you don't see in the 977 01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:56.600 Western world very much. My favorite Star Wars product of the past couple of 978 01:17:56.680 --> 01:18:00.560 years was Star Wars, anime product that they've put out on Disney LUs called 979 01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:08.119 Star Wars Visions where they had Japanese storytellers do original, non cannon Star Wars 980 01:18:08.199 --> 01:18:13.920 short stories as as like short films, and it was incredible. And that 981 01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:18.520 was them baiting the anime crowd just a little bit with Star Wars because Star 982 01:18:18.560 --> 01:18:23.560 Wars is a little bit more of a stodgy old ip that has not thrived 983 01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:27.399 the way that they thought it would. The Stevin Kent, I appreciate it 984 01:18:27.439 --> 01:18:31.319 this morning, and we will. We'll touch base here next week and be 985 01:18:31.399 --> 01:18:35.439 prepared to talk about the Masters, which kicks off Thursday. So and you 986 01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:40.439 be prepared to talk about the next season of Dragon ball Z. Deal right, 987 01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:43.159 Yeah, you can tell me whatever it's could be and I'll believe you 988 01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:45.000 and I will never know. So all right, appreciate appreciate it this morning. 989 01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:48.000 I have a go one man see you all right. Yeah, I'm 990 01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:51.399 gonna do my Dragon ball Z research. It'll be a big part of my 991 01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:56.760 weekend. Anyway. Well, we're going to take a break and we'll be 992 01:18:56.840 --> 01:18:59.319 back. Hang on. I am so I don't need audio or anything, 993 01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:01.840 but I do want you to watch it because I'm pumped. We're just sitting 994 01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:06.119 here with Steven Kent. Obviously we're getting into Hollywood stuff and movies and and 995 01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:13.119 man, every time you think throwing the towel, they're done. What a 996 01:19:13.199 --> 01:19:18.840 shame entertainment mediums going by the wayside over politics and just you know, killing 997 01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:30.520 killing everything. I love. They they redeem themselves. So and I just 998 01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:33.000 I just tweeted this out at Casey on at Casey on the radio. You 999 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:38.560 want to go watch it. So there's a new movie coming out called Bambi 1000 01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:45.680 The Reckoning and it's a horror. It's a revenge horror flick by Bambi. 1001 01:19:45.439 --> 01:19:49.840 Now in the trailer, uh, there's two dudes in the woods and they 1002 01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:54.439 have like a they have like a duck tied to a tree or something. 1003 01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:58.279 It's really weird and they're shooting at it. But you know, obviously it's 1004 01:19:58.319 --> 01:20:00.840 to show that they're maniacal. They're horrible, they're mean. And one of 1005 01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:02.800 the guys as the other dude, who's like, you, man, you 1006 01:20:02.840 --> 01:20:08.760 ever shot a deer? And then there's this real foreboding music and the guy's 1007 01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:14.119 like yeah, once, all right, and we all know what's deer obviously 1008 01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:17.479 this guy's referring to and they look like a couple near dwells and then all 1009 01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:23.800 of a sudden it cuts to the biggest, baddest, most rampaging deer you've 1010 01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:27.159 ever seen a right, So, and this is from the same folks who 1011 01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:34.239 basically their entire movie strategy is to wait for ips to fall by the wayside. 1012 01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:38.399 And as you know, a bunch did with Disney, and then you 1013 01:20:38.479 --> 01:20:43.439 saw with what was it, oh, Winnie the Pooh, right winning the 1014 01:20:43.439 --> 01:20:45.239 Poop, Blood and Honey. This is the same outfit. In fact, 1015 01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:53.800 the movie is part of a larger effort, a series of movies which I 1016 01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:57.680 kids, this is the actual name for them. It is Bambi. The 1017 01:20:57.800 --> 01:21:03.479 Reckoning is the second installment in the Poonaverse. So just you know, like 1018 01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:08.760 the Marvel Universe, theres is the Pooniverse because they kicked it off with the 1019 01:21:08.800 --> 01:21:12.680 slasher Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey, and now it's Bamby the Reckoning 1020 01:21:14.239 --> 01:21:16.399 and I'm here for it, man. Yeah throw that in there. I 1021 01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:19.439 know, Cocaine Bear is its own thing, but they're they're starting their own. 1022 01:21:19.479 --> 01:21:25.279 But yeah, yeah, I'll watch Bamby the Reconing. Hell yeah, 1023 01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:29.439 And you know what for what is probably not a big budget the the CGI 1024 01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:33.640 with the deer in the trailer. It looks pretty good, so yeah, 1025 01:21:33.720 --> 01:21:36.439 sign me up. I oh wait. I do have to warn you though, 1026 01:21:39.039 --> 01:21:48.359 and I cannot stress this enough. Do not google Poonaverse movies and blindly 1027 01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:58.319 click you catch it when I'm putting down, because it's not the first series 1028 01:21:58.359 --> 01:22:05.640 of movies that were ref referred to as the Pooniverse series, or search it 1029 01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:12.399 on your coworkers computer, so you know, probably go with Bamby the Reckoning 1030 01:22:12.840 --> 01:22:16.319 and then Pooniverse, but not Pooniverse by itself, because holy crap, this 1031 01:22:16.439 --> 01:22:23.279 is this is the reality in which we live. Yeah, I'll give that 1032 01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:28.000 a watch. Absolutely. Hey check this out. Oh the meltdown is fantastic. 1033 01:22:28.079 --> 01:22:32.000 All right. So Jamal Bowman, you know him as Captain fire Alarm 1034 01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:38.199 or excuse me, a guy just trying to go through the door. Of 1035 01:22:38.199 --> 01:22:43.680 course, the accountability there was next to nothing from a legal perspective. However, 1036 01:22:43.720 --> 01:22:46.960 it may not be the same not in Westchester County, so that's where 1037 01:22:47.279 --> 01:22:56.039 Bowman's district is. The district is southern Westchester north northeast Bronx. It is 1038 01:22:56.079 --> 01:23:02.680 a decidedly blue district. So what's happening. Well, even the people in 1039 01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:06.039 his own district think he's looney tunes. How do I know? A new 1040 01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:15.840 poll shows that the sitting congressman is losing to Democratic primary challenger who's a Westchester 1041 01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:24.119 I guess County County executive, Yeah, George Latimer, so also a Democrat, 1042 01:23:24.319 --> 01:23:30.199 seemingly from what I've seen, not quite at Jamal Bowman level of insane. 1043 01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:33.039 And in the poll, by the way, the primary is on the 1044 01:23:33.119 --> 01:23:39.720 sixteenth, so we're not far away the New York primary. Currently Latimer leads 1045 01:23:39.760 --> 01:23:47.560 Bowman fifty two to thirty five, so he's probably out Man. And what's 1046 01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:53.680 rich as I'm seeing people claiming that the reason that Bowman's getting purged is not 1047 01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:59.680 because he's insane, not because he pulled that fire alarm and then lied about 1048 01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:03.960 it and there was really no accountability. Nobody his constituents noticed, and they're 1049 01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:10.880 done with this dude. And of course, obviously it's because they're racist, 1050 01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:15.760 because, as you know, the Bronx in New York, they are not 1051 01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:19.399 a fan of black people. I don't know if you're familiar with the Ross 1052 01:24:19.399 --> 01:24:23.239 you're from the state of New York, but you're you're familiar with New York 1053 01:24:23.279 --> 01:24:28.880 City, the Bronx, Right, obviously, it's a mecca of evil, 1054 01:24:28.960 --> 01:24:31.720 racist, it's a mega country. It is mad. You know, that's 1055 01:24:31.720 --> 01:24:34.760 a that's a perfect comparison. Yeah, if you're that's a good point. 1056 01:24:34.760 --> 01:24:39.079 If you're if you're Juicy Smolet, you justly would not go to the Bronx. 1057 01:24:39.119 --> 01:24:42.520 Man. Yeah, that's what. That's why I run Yankee Stadium. 1058 01:24:42.560 --> 01:24:46.079 Red hats are so popular. Oh is it? I didn't know, So 1059 01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:48.359 next time I'm in New York, I should get a red hat and go 1060 01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:56.079 over to the the Yankee Stadium. Oh yeah, oh good, high fives. 1061 01:24:56.159 --> 01:24:58.239 Huh? All right, because it's weird because I just see their hands 1062 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:00.840 in their pockets. I don't know what's going on. So maybe I got 1063 01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:03.479 to run up on him, all right. So yeah, he's probably gonna 1064 01:25:03.479 --> 01:25:08.760 lose his He's gonna and then Latimer would obviously probably win. I think the 1065 01:25:08.800 --> 01:25:15.720 district's like seventy six percent Democrat or something. So interesting. Interesting little follow 1066 01:25:15.800 --> 01:25:21.039 up there, and this real quick. Seattle Public Schools say they will shut 1067 01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:29.000 down their Gifted and Talented program. Why equity baby, that's right. The 1068 01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:32.600 school board has voted to scrap their cap. What they call a highly capable 1069 01:25:32.680 --> 01:25:40.319 cohort program, what a stupid name. After let's see, they did that 1070 01:25:40.399 --> 01:25:45.760 in twenty twenty. They knocked that down and then the schools said, no, 1071 01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:49.079 this is dumb. How do we not have this program? So they 1072 01:25:49.199 --> 01:25:55.520 started it again on a more traditional lean. However, they said that they 1073 01:25:55.560 --> 01:25:59.840 did not fix the problem by reinitiating the program, as the majority of the 1074 01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:05.359 vast majority of students who found themselves who tested in to the program were white 1075 01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:11.760 or Asian, and by revamping the program over the last four years, they 1076 01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:15.039 have not seen any substantial growth in the percentage of students who were black or 1077 01:26:15.119 --> 01:26:21.479 Hispanic, and therefore it fails the district's equity concerns. So they're just going 1078 01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:24.479 to shut it down. So it's done. Though, So if you're a 1079 01:26:24.560 --> 01:26:30.960 parent there and your kid was in that, then no, yeah, you 1080 01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:33.640 can't have people excelling. Man wouldn't want that, all right? Eight forty 1081 01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:41.640 four raced Agic stand why, oh man, everything is dumb. But then 1082 01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:44.319 you have a new movie coming out. You're ready, It's called Bambi the 1083 01:26:44.479 --> 01:26:49.279 Reckoning. Oh yeah, and Bambi is not pleased with all that, you 1084 01:26:49.319 --> 01:26:55.199 know what now with his mom so well, I love, I love. 1085 01:26:55.239 --> 01:26:58.760 There's a couple companies that are looking at all these ips, like Whitney the 1086 01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:00.920 Pooh is the one remember the Blood and Honey they did last year. It's 1087 01:27:00.920 --> 01:27:05.560 the same company, and they're they are just they're just waiting for IPS to 1088 01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:10.800 and then they just make him murder things. And uh, this is the 1089 01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:15.479 layer and it's and it's called the it's the Pooniverse of movies who started with 1090 01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:17.840 Winning the Pooh and then the next Bambi, and they get a bunch of 1091 01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:25.039 others. But do google Pooniverse movies on its own and click. Okay, 1092 01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:28.439 I'm just warning, right, I won't do that or do it on al 1093 01:27:28.560 --> 01:27:33.279 Rogers computer or something, right, Yeah, probably all right, So what's 1094 01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:39.600 up? Yeah? Yeah, I think improving pre SIPs just about done with. 1095 01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:42.119 But there's an upper level low. And if you didn't know what that 1096 01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.199 was, just a minute of meteorology one on one up upper level low was 1097 01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:48.319 a cold pocket of air, not even I'll give you ten seconds. The 1098 01:27:48.359 --> 01:27:53.279 cold pocket of air upstairs in the atmosphere, and as it spins around very 1099 01:27:53.319 --> 01:27:57.399 slowly, kind of rotates in these disturbances. And that's why the clouds are 1100 01:27:57.399 --> 01:28:00.760 increasing. That's why we see passing shower for today, and the chili temperatures 1101 01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:05.319 with this northwest breeze upper fifties. You might at sixty, especially where you 1102 01:28:05.399 --> 01:28:11.119 had some early sunshine in the triangle in points east tonight some clouds mid thirties 1103 01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:15.560 to the west, maybe some low thirties. And actually the winter weather advisories 1104 01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:18.640 in Avery County and up into Boone and some of those places where they may 1105 01:28:18.680 --> 01:28:23.079 get a couple inches of snow instead of rain. And then Friday we'll see 1106 01:28:23.119 --> 01:28:27.199 some clouds coming again after morning sunshine, mid upper fifties, and then Saturday 1107 01:28:27.239 --> 01:28:30.479 and Sunday closer to or above sixty degrees. I think Sunday we finally get 1108 01:28:30.479 --> 01:28:33.079 above sixty with some frost in the morning hours though, so I'm not gonna 1109 01:28:33.079 --> 01:28:38.199 say cold weekend, but for this time of year, a little on the 1110 01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:40.840 chili side for the morning hours. I do think as we get in a 1111 01:28:40.840 --> 01:28:44.199 Monday and Tuesday, we will see temperatures back into the seventies. I think 1112 01:28:44.239 --> 01:28:46.239 that's pretty close to average. I think near seventies the average high. With 1113 01:28:46.279 --> 01:28:51.000 the Chanta showers coming back here on Wednesday, So grabs heavy your jackets. 1114 01:28:51.000 --> 01:28:54.880 You're gonna need them. A couple of chili days coming up, and even 1115 01:28:54.880 --> 01:28:59.640 with the sun out on Saturday and temperatures close to sixty gonna be breezy too, 1116 01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:01.760 So that don't feel a little bit risk. But for the good the 1117 01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:04.520 good news is for the weekend, we don't have any rain to worry about, 1118 01:29:04.840 --> 01:29:08.560 but as a cloud to deal with for the eclipse on Monday, partial 1119 01:29:08.600 --> 01:29:11.880 sunshine, So we'll see how that all works out. I know we only 1120 01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:15.399 see a small percentage of it, but still may be able to see something. 1121 01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:18.000 Did you see the Airbnb map that they put out. I did not, 1122 01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:24.000 and it's it's a map of sold out airbnbs and it is it is 1123 01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:29.600 the line. It is the line the US dude, these communities that are 1124 01:29:29.680 --> 01:29:31.359 undering from a traffic per sue, it's it's going to be bad, if 1125 01:29:31.399 --> 01:29:35.479 that's any indicator. So yeah, if you've been to somebody these places, 1126 01:29:35.520 --> 01:29:39.880 like if I've been like Upstate New York where I go snowmobiling, like Old 1127 01:29:39.920 --> 01:29:42.560 Forge is one of the spot's gonna get one hundred percent eclips. Yeah, 1128 01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:45.439 but you know he's getting You know, the prisoners up there are having a 1129 01:29:45.439 --> 01:29:49.960 problem because they can't like they can't two to five is normal yard time, 1130 01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:54.680 but they don't have proper lighting, so they're putting the prisoners on lockdown. 1131 01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:58.600 So a group of prisoners has suits saying that they have a religious right to 1132 01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:01.880 watch the eclipse. Oh good, lollough, all right, man, appreciate 1133 01:30:01.920 --> 01:30:04.600 it having there. You go raced agic. And by the way, I 1134 01:30:04.680 --> 01:30:08.039 know what you're thinking. Oh, it must be the guys who think they're 1135 01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:10.720 warlocks or whatever. No, no, no, I'll share that with you. 1136 01:30:10.800 --> 01:30:15.039 We'll chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Good boarding. Casey stocks were mixed 1137 01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:18.119 at the end of a yesterday session, had the Dow down a little bit, 1138 01:30:18.199 --> 01:30:24.039 but the Nasdaq and deescentp posts of small games. Remarks by Federal Reserve 1139 01:30:24.159 --> 01:30:29.079 Chair Jerome Powell helped to ease some concerns over high interest rates. Powell said 1140 01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:32.640 the Central Bank still expects inflation to decline this year to a level that will 1141 01:30:32.680 --> 01:30:36.840 allow for interest rate cuts, but he also reiterated the Fed does not have 1142 01:30:36.920 --> 01:30:40.479 to be in a rush to do that now. There was a bigger than 1143 01:30:40.520 --> 01:30:45.119 expected jump last week and the number of workers signing up from employment benefits this 1144 01:30:45.199 --> 01:30:49.439 report just in the Labor Department counted two hundred and twenty one thousand new applications. 1145 01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:54.560 That was nine thousand more than the prior week. Stock market futures improved 1146 01:30:54.640 --> 01:30:58.560 quite a bit after that report came out. Right now, the Dow futures 1147 01:30:58.760 --> 01:31:02.000 are up one hundred eight points. A lot of homeowners across the country were 1148 01:31:02.079 --> 01:31:06.159 no doubt shocked when they saw their property tax bills last year. At Them 1149 01:31:06.239 --> 01:31:12.479 reports that taxes registered the biggest jump in five years. The amount governments collected 1150 01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:17.039 was up nearly seven percent. The average tax bill nationwide now tops four thousand 1151 01:31:17.119 --> 01:31:21.880 dollars. Apple wanted to bring an electric car to market. That effort failed, 1152 01:31:21.920 --> 01:31:26.800 but the company is still looking to introduce new products. Apple teams are 1153 01:31:26.840 --> 01:31:31.199 looking into whether personal robotics might become the next big thing. So to say. 1154 01:31:31.279 --> 01:31:36.880 Engineers have been considering a mobile robot and a tabletop device that uses robotics 1155 01:31:36.920 --> 01:31:43.720 to move a display. Artificial intelligence engineers working for Tesla seeing bigger paychecks. 1156 01:31:43.960 --> 01:31:47.560 Elon Musk says Tesla has been hiking the pay in its AI division to encourage 1157 01:31:47.640 --> 01:31:53.399 key people to stay. Musk charges that Open Ai has been aggressively trying to 1158 01:31:53.479 --> 01:31:59.520 attract Tesla engineers, and massive compensation offers have convinced a few to jump ship 1159 01:32:00.079 --> 01:32:04.039 and like this story. Casey Planters has three job openings. Company famous for 1160 01:32:04.119 --> 01:32:09.359 its peanuts and other nut products, now looking for people to drive it's twenty 1161 01:32:09.439 --> 01:32:13.920 six foot long nutmobile this summer. The vehicle looks like a giant peanut. 1162 01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:17.960 It will be appearing in parades and showing up at events all across the country. 1163 01:32:18.039 --> 01:32:24.800 Casey, It's called the Nutmobile, the Nutmobile. Yeah the record just 1164 01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:30.000 see dreg Rice with this and the Yasker Meyer Wiener Mobile. Yeah. Well, 1165 01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:34.000 I'm just like, so it goes around as parades, maybe maybe driving, 1166 01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:39.640 you know, just visibility within the community and stuff. Maybe giving people 1167 01:32:39.760 --> 01:32:42.359 rides. I don't know, if there's some woman walking or whatever. I 1168 01:32:42.359 --> 01:32:44.399 don't know. I mean, what all do you do with the Nutmobile? 1169 01:32:44.520 --> 01:32:47.560 So both just a purit events, just be there, I guess, mister 1170 01:32:47.600 --> 01:32:51.560 peanut, I guess will be a present as well. So all right, 1171 01:32:51.680 --> 01:32:56.439 all right, well appreciate it. Okay, every day it's something new. 1172 01:32:56.479 --> 01:33:00.600 Thanks appreciating. Yeah, I mean, because it's not every day is not 1173 01:33:00.680 --> 01:33:05.680 a parade. But yeah, you could probably just non parade days drive around 1174 01:33:05.800 --> 01:33:09.720 in the Nutmobile. Maybe, you know, maybe you're driving down a road 1175 01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:15.159 in Florida or whatever. You see some would be nut consumers, you know, 1176 01:33:15.239 --> 01:33:17.520 walking down the street, Maybe see if they need a ride, maybe 1177 01:33:17.520 --> 01:33:23.199 a couple of co eds or whatever, just saying got options, or maybe 1178 01:33:23.199 --> 01:33:30.199 I'm misunderstanding what the thing was there AnyWho not misunderstanding this A lawsuit against the 1179 01:33:30.239 --> 01:33:39.319 State of New York's Corrections Department filed after it was announced a total lockdown at 1180 01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:45.760 several of New York's facilities, including Woodborne Correctional also the one where the dudes, 1181 01:33:46.239 --> 01:33:55.159 those two dudes escaped, and one of the other more famous ones anyway, 1182 01:33:55.359 --> 01:33:59.640 so it spread over three facilities. The concern on the part of New 1183 01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:08.279 York direction facility officials is that the event is taking place what is normally a 1184 01:34:08.319 --> 01:34:14.560 time where they're out on yard. However, the yard is not in a 1185 01:34:14.640 --> 01:34:18.199 position where it can be used at night. They do not, you know, 1186 01:34:18.239 --> 01:34:20.720 they don't let them out there in the dark, at least in the 1187 01:34:20.760 --> 01:34:27.479 full expansive park and obviously not usually a problem between two and five in the 1188 01:34:27.520 --> 01:34:30.800 afternoon, which is yard time. However, if you're in this line of 1189 01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:36.000 near total darkness or damn near it, then they don't want them out on 1190 01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:45.000 yard immediately six different inmates, shockingly of a variety of religious backgrounds or non 1191 01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:50.079 backgrounds. As you'll hear, all have professed a deeply held religious belief that 1192 01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:55.079 they should be able to watch the solar eclipse and they have to witness this 1193 01:34:55.159 --> 01:35:00.720 as part of their faith. This includes a one Muslim prison or a Baptist 1194 01:35:00.800 --> 01:35:04.840 prisoner, a Seventh Day at ventist, two practicers of Santoria, and an 1195 01:35:04.880 --> 01:35:10.920 atheist. And now they're tripping all over themselves. So what do you do 1196 01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:15.479 here? Probably gonna let them watch it. I just I don't know how 1197 01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:16.800 they're gonna do it. But what a Yeah, they got a lot of 1198 01:35:16.800 --> 01:35:20.640 time, get a lot of lawsuits. But is it a deeply hell religious 1199 01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:25.079 belief? I guess maybe if you think it's the rapture, which obviously you 1200 01:35:25.079 --> 01:35:30.720 know, among a bunch of murders and rapists at the max security prison up 1201 01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:34.359 here, I don't know too many of them are gonna have to worry about, 1202 01:35:36.319 --> 01:35:41.600 you know, a rapture or I don't know, maybe they turn their 1203 01:35:41.640 --> 01:35:45.319 life around, I guess, But yeah, what an interesting lawsuit there
