A little, just a little early, not you know, like early in
the morning, obviously it's that, but early in the calendar, as we
have not hit the official unofficial kickoff for the summer season, i e.
Memorial Day. But it's there, you can see it. We'll be pestering
Ray Stagic about it later. That's a thing. So I'm ready to I
think I'm ready to announce the official kickoff of Do you remember remember it was
hot Was it Hot Girl Summer or what was the stupid moniker they used when
everyone after COVID just wanted to go out and hook up? It was Hot
Girl Summer? Right, Well this year it's bleach blonde, bad bill butch
body Summer. So yeah, how do I know? Because I watched the
New Mean Girls? Have you seen the New means It's been a while.
I don't even remember when the original Mean Girls came out. I think it
probably was before everyone figured out she kind of a hoe. But back in
those days that came out, that was I that was a big movie,
right, that really wasn't in my wheelhouse. I'm sure I've seen parts of
I probably have seen the whole thing, because I can vaguely remember because it's
got right, Tina fazed in that right? And oh so who's the other
dude from SNL? But whatever. So they're sitting there and that movie comes
out, and I understand that it did very popular, it kind of got
its cult status. And then I'm watching Congress as I do yesterday, as
we all do. Obviously great sport there and boom there it was. You
know this happening? Do you know what we're here for? You know we're
here? Well, you don't want to talking about I think your faith.
Let me set the scene for this, shall we? Okay? So you
have on this committee. You have Marjorie Taylor Green. All right, Marjorie
Taylor Green, you have AOC. And then the one who you may not
recognize is a squad Light member named Coleman, Representative Coleman, who apparently Green's
got beef with and she doesn't like her eye eyebrows or eyelashes or something.
I don't know. This is going on under in a committee hearing. So
here we go. Do you know what we're here for? You know we're
here for, Well, you don't want to talking about. I think your
fake eyelashes are messing up orders of your committee order I do have a point
of order, and I would like to move to to take down. She's
not in this. That is absolutely unacceptable. How dare you your feelings her
words down? Oh girl, baby girl? Oh really, don't even play,
baby girl. We are gonna move and we're gonna take your words down.
The second motion. It goes on and on and on, and then
one of the culminating points is representative Coleman says, all right, what if
I use bleach, blonde, bad build, butch body to describe a member?
And that was her little Koy way of being that assessment, and then
of Marjorie Taylor Green, and then it kept going and going and going,
and then Green said she's turning fifty and she's still hot. Af that was
a congressional hearing yesterday. It means, but you know what yesterday was.
Yesterday was like a high school reunion, but everyone had to act like they
were in high school again. And it wasn't just there, it wasn't just
whatever the hell that was ye also up at the Trump trial, dude rolls
up. I can't name I can't call it what it is apparently named,
but it is an artiste installation where an artiste. Did it play on the
dukes of hazard, but duke would be another word that starts with the D.
He ends with a cuh but doesn't have a U in the middle.
If you catch them a drift, we'll play on words there. Because it
was hundreds of like three foot tall phallic balloons. So these are you know,
these are the metallic looking balloons, but they're in the shape of a
sports car with fuel tanks, okay, as best describe it. And on
them they have super imposed photos of Alvin Bragg, the judge is a handful
of other Democrat and or Democrat associated politicians in New York, and they had
him. They had them with the right amount of heliums. So they didn't
just poop to the moon they would like they would rise very levels, so
they kind of created either this really slow rise outside the window of the entire
courthouse, or they would just kind of hover there. And there's another scene.
Look, NYPD doesn't want to be there for that. They don't want
to be there for any of this. I mean, I want to be
there because that's probably a pretty good gig rather than having to go deal with
the insanity that is Times Square and the the migrant crime problem that they're dealing
with over there, probably a cushier gig to stand around there. But watching
some of these NYPD dudes right after the U haul rolls up with the balloon
fallusies have to then wrangle fallusies. I know was not on that officer's BINGO
card, but still I was dying laughing watching that, because at no point
do you think, hey, kissing the wife for the husband. You know,
guy, I gotta go to work, right They're they're all they're nervous
because they're married to a law enforcement officer but also one in this current environment,
right, so there's all you know, it's always in the back of
their mind. They're like, what are you gonna be doing today? You're
kicking doors, you know, for warrants, you doing patrol? What are
you doing? I'm nothing, very I'm just gonna be I. I just
have to stand out in front of the courthouse, okay, all right?
And when they get home that day, so how was it uneventable? I
wrangled falluses all day. At least you got a story and then you kick
over to mean girl Congress and uh there you go. Wild times man,
But it's Friday, so uh, in a way, it is kind of
the culmination of this stupidity of the week. All right, coming up on
the show, are you ready for a big gay animal summer. I'm just
gonna keep with this trend. Well, don't worry. NBC's got you covered.
You lost Anderson Cooper, you lost the Vanderbilts on this whole Trump trial
thing. The View does the view stuff and just a collective of insanity.
But before we get to any of that, let's take a break. We'll
oh, we got Pete calendar coming up as well. I'll finish a prizing
you and we'll dive right in next here on the CaCO Day Radio program.
They should not be doing mean girl stuff in the halls of Congress. And
frankly, right now, if you want to get me on the repeal of
the nineteenth the bandwagon, I'll hear your case. These men have the common
decency to go beat each other with canes. But also, I'm not gonna
sit here. And you know, because the pearl clutching on this is amazing.
This is the House of Representatives, sounds like a and then you know,
insert whatever you want to compare it to. But basically, mean girls
yes, it does. Is it useful? Absolutely not. Is it even
in the grand scheme of things, just viewed on its own without you know,
recognizing the absurdity there make you angry? It should, But I'm done.
I am done hitching my wag into people who are only getting it right
when it scores political points. And that, and that's on all fronts.
The absolute state of reporting over the the oh North Carolina anti mask bill could
violate federal law. Disability rights and free speech advocates say, all of you
can go pound saying, go to hell. All of you advocates out there
who didn't spend one moment actually attempting on this issue to get it right on
each side, have no moral standing to comment on this at all. I
don't care that your law lawfair advocates, you went to college, you got
your organization with your little funding coming in. When you're secretly taking marching orders
through one side of the political aisle, you don't have moral standing to sit
here and go this is outrageous. Let me run to my favorite reporter at
my favorite outlet who print whatever we say and talk about all the reasons why
this is a problem. I'm going to explain this to you like your two
year olds, and I'm not a lawyer. I had rosscheck three times before
the show Triplicate. You guys love stuff like that because there are wildly disingenuous
arguments. This is not me thinking that this bill is written in the way
that I think bills should be written. But I also understand it, and
you do too, even if you're not being honest. Let's talk about the
history of the Anti Mask Bill in North Carolina, and not just at the
surface layer. This has been a law since the fifties. It was a
law that was put in literally to make it more difficult for people to don
clan hoods and other masking ways to go after people in the Civil rights era.
That's what this thing was. And then what people will tell you because
they're uneducated and they don't care to look it up, is that from nineteen
fifty three to twenty twenty that law did not have the language that they're saying.
This must have a specific carve out for people under Americans for Disabilities Act,
basically people who have medical exemption reasons, right, And that's a whole
other issue that kind of started this that we'll get into in a moment,
but from nineteen fifty three to twenty twenty, that is not what was going
on. Let me ask you a question. For anyone who lived in the
state of North Carolina from nineteen fifty three to twenty twenty, I count myself
among those folks. I was here for a decade by that time, even
if you were here for ten minutes. Let me ask you a question during
from nineteen fifty three to twenty twenty, how many people do you remember walking
around who just you know, just had their key or you know, one
of the yes, absolutely legitimate medical reasons, who were whisked away by police
for simply walking around the grocery store trying to be able to shop for food
and not heighten their possibility of infection because they are immunocompromised because of the treatment
they're getting. How many people do you remember Do you remember the squads in
vans at night that would run around and snatch lonely masked grandmothers off the streets
of North Carolina, never to be seen again, for violating this one unique
weird law they don't want you to know about that was highly publicized at the
time and then re highly publicized when COVID rolled around. So then in twenty
twenty, somebody brought up the fact that we have this law right that people
could find it confusing, and rather than pointing out the law as you know,
the reason for it, it was tweaked, and it was tweaked with
an exemption added to it, which, don't get me wrong, is a
bit of an admission, but it's an unnecessary addition, meaning here's how laws
work, do you know? And by the way, for those of you
who's very beliefs and actions were the reason for this law getting passed, I'm
going to use the word you like, do you know what the supremacy clause
is? Now, Don't get me wrong, that's the thing that's been in
many people's opinion, mine included a tool that has allowed the outgrowth of the
federal government to govern things they never had the opportunity to. But it basically
it works like this, if the Feds are able to do something legally,
everyone is absolutely to the same point. I'm going to end up on all
this mask insanity because I'm just done with it, especially when I see that
the reporting they've had three bites at the apple for many publications to explain this
to you part of reporting, and it is sometimes the part where people start
launching into the you know, you know, now you're politicking, and it
can be. But I think that context is important on stuff, and so
I'm willing to do this for you. I'm willing to put in the time,
and I have a limited resource. These a holes have as much Internet
as they need in reality. So nineteen fifty three, in North Carolina,
basically to the start of COVID, we had a law you couldn't wear masks
out there in public. It was a law. There's more words than that,
but basically it was a law that was that was broad, and it
was a catch all. Right, it's not even a primary thing necessarily,
it was a catch all. And that means that if you were out there
doing stuff you shouldn't be doing and you were concealing your identity to do it,
then it's like tax stamps on marijuana, which a lot of state I
believe North Carolina does. Oh I'm almost positive North Carolina does, now that
I think about it. Who what drug dealers are buying tax stamps And the
answer is they're not the same with cigarette. But really the law was about
cigarettes, right, So North Carolina. You couldn't just do your own not
get them taxed, and then you know, ship them up to a high
tax state, which is a thing that still happens. By the way,
they still smuggle cigarettes to New York from North Carolina. Those bus happened all
the time. But also you had the marijuana component of it, and so
you just run out and charge people for that. They waited to a restitude
and it was literally something that they could add to it, even though no
self respecting drug dealer is going to be like, yeah, I'm in the
business, I need some text stamps. So from nineteen fifty three to the
start of COVID, the folks would have you believe that there was an epidemic
in North Carolina of people who were masking for the you know, they just
had chemo as the example they keep using because of course they want the you
want to tell a grandma with cancers, you can't wear a mask. It
wasn't an issue, and it wasn't an issue because there was the intent of
the law and following federal law surrounding this. Americans with Disabilities Act is the
big example, but there's lots of other stuff. The North Carolina law had
to comport with that, even if it was through application, and I have
not seen them one issue of one thing prior to that. Then in their
fervor to do anything just for the sake of doing something, around twenty twenty,
you had an addition to that law, and this would be the restoration
to how it was now. The headlines are NC anti mask bill could violate
federal law, disability rights, free speech advocates say, and to those free
speech advocates who are arguing in most of most of the statements, I've seen
that because this is the hook they're going to have to have, They're going
to have to have you as the plaintiff and some explanation why you have to
wear a mask be arrested out doing vandalism or doing you know, doing things
as part of a gathering, not legal things, and say, look,
this person's First Amendment rights were violated because they wanted to quote peacefully assemble.
And then we'll get in the debate over whether it was peaceful or not,
and they couldn't, among other reasons, for the fact that they were wearing
a mask and it was hindering their rights. I don't even know that it
has to be the driving reason why they were removed from the scene, or
at the very least part of it why that would likely fail that arrest is
because of this ada. But there has to be a challenge to it.
And this is where the federal government's rules will supersede local rules, i e.
The supremacy clause we just talked about. Now it's more complex in this,
and there's probably some lawyers rolling their eyes, but it's the general gist
of this, and you know me, I like things very clear and concise.
That being said, it is a higher bar for an individual to overcome.
If they're able to avail themselves of that, then it should not be
a problem. But here's how. Here's where this thing turns sideways and is
the most hypocritical thing you'll see if you put something in there. Let's say
that the language says and and look, I have reservations about this too,
but after going through it, I also recognize the absurdity of the arguments against
it, and it m and it has now motivated me to have to get
into this because here's what, here's what will happen. All right, So
let's say you want to formulate some protest I don't know, Ross is putting
one together. It's Ross against the wolves or whatever. I don't know.
And you guys want to go gather and scream and march and chant and have
your signs whatever. But if you're out there and you're all masked, and
and you know, you got some folks around there that may be doing some
stuff, and you know, police get up in there and they start making
the rests, and there is an exemption the bill saying, you know upon
a doctor's note, Well, how hard is it going to be to find
a doctor who will just pony up notes pretty easy half the time, and
they're arrest and folks, especially in the campus stuff, there's professors on there.
You're going to find one. Some of the people put pen to paper
to excoriate the or the interim chancellor for his actions are professors in the University
of Medicine or in the unc School of Medicine. So then it becomes a
catch all and it doesn't have to necessarily satisfy the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act to be that exemption to a state law. This puts the onus
on the individual if the authorities even go forward with charging them for that,
because again, this isn't just about rounding up people with masks. It's basically
about, hey, you want to go protest to your thing. But when
everybody's masked around there and we have video of people doing crimes, but we
can't identify any of them because they all had to have their COVID mass that
day, people know what's up. And those folks, if they have a
legitimate complaint, they can go ahead and they can say, hey, this
particular charge is unlawful and here's why, and lawyers will be happy to do
it. But when we get to these advocates, I don't want to hear
a peep from you. I don't want to hear a peep if you believe
that laws should not impede people's ability to conduct and do basic rights. And
I know the argument going to make, and I'll address it in a moment.
Basic rights. Where were all of you during COVID Where were you?
Where were you with your you know, your pre approved funding for these lawfare
suits, These these donors, these advocates, these these freedom fighters for all
of your rights. When they were telling people that they couldn't park in a
parking lot more than the six feet away from each other inside of their own
vehicles to hear a man or woman on an amplified speaker system tell them about
God. And you had to go in their hats and bats and get people
out of there. Screw you. Well, you're not advocates for this.
Your advocates for your thing when it serves you. And remember, even though
those exemptions were utilized or attempted to be utilized, and this is what people
will say, they were in many cases denied or delayed, and delayed was
the key. Why do you think we're seeing a rash of lawsuits finally come
out and in almost every single case, all of a sudden, through the
clarity of the judicial mind, they realize you couldn't do that stuff. You
can't do that that was absurd. And the and the argument that'll be made
is, well, one thing was during an emergency and the other wasn't.
And when you look at ways in which there are, they're carved out exemptions
to actual rights, enumerated rights there are, they can put in reasonable they'll
say reasonable things, and they'll say, well, it's more reasonable during COVID
for this versus you know, the reasonableness of law enforcement wanting to better be
able to figure out who's graffeeding something. Right, because one thing threatens an
inanimate object, you're graffeeding the other thing's going to kill all the Grammars.
Except it wasn't, and you didn't have the science to say that, And
now you're finding out that the science wouldn't have backed you. And none of
these advocate groups would put toe in the water. I shouldn't say none of
them. There were some out there doing it. They're not the same ones
bitching to ral right now. They're not the ones running around oh b oh
my. And they also weren't the ones that were filing lawsuit after lawsuit and
in story after story from the year nineteen fifty three to twenty twenty. You
know why they didn't care. They probably cared when it went into effect,
because remember a lot of these are the same folks that were out there dawning
the mast harassing black people before they could go to the polls. So it
is really rich to me that now all of a sudden, oh this is
a problem, Well, why wasn't a problem for all those years? And
also why wasn't it a problem in reverse during COVID? You could have a
doctor's letter, and they would tell you they don't care. They didn't care,
they didn't advocate on your behalf, they didn't give quotes, they didn't
do nothing. These are the people you don't need. Folks who are dedicated
to uh uh, the the protection of your rights. If the only time
they're dedicated to it is when it is politically good for them, That is
not a fervor for the work. So yeah, that's the that's the Nickel
explanation for this. I it does, it does everything I said? Is
it perfectly one how a judge would rule. No, I'm not a lawyer,
and I'm not knowing which judge your shopping. But I know that that's
basically how people see it. Because most of us aren't lawyers. Most of
us look at it and go, that makes sense. I don't want.
Yeah, if you're going out there and you're covering up, well, well,
how do you know why they're doing it? I don't know. They
all showed up and they look like they all bought their masks together, and
chances are they're probably not masking in most other situations. And if they want
to tell you, oh, I meet the I meet the requirements. Okay,
show us and if you do, then the protection should be there.
If they don't, you can quibble with NC, or you can quibble with
what your your your your litmus test is, which is are you protected under
the ADA? And if it says you aren't, then your beef is not
with lawmakers locally. It's with the law that is attempting to or that supersedes
our local law, which is the federal law. And if it doesn't protect
you, your beef is with the language in there. Is that simple enough?
And all you advocate groups, you had your chance to shine. And
like everybody else in the system, scared out of their minds that do their
damn jobs, this was the plan. Yeah, we know we really can't,
but we're gonna. Well we know they really can't, but they're gonna,
And don't worry. These things take time and by the time it actually
gets adjudicated, it'll be okay because we'll be out of the pandemic and then
we can go whoopsie, Now we know and you all knew, you always
knew. How would remember how somebody who? And I don't know whether everyone
had quote unquote legitimate objections, but I didn't see one person who raised that
objection where anybody stood around, including law enforcement in a lot of instances to
determine whether that was true or not. They said, well, I have
a governor's order, I have an emergency declaration, I have whatever it is,
and that supersedes it. And it doesn't. And it doesn't because we
have we have checks and balances, and we have a general understanding of how
this works, and everybody knew how it was supposed to work, and nobody
cared, at least not among these groups. So if they bitched your bet,
laugh at them, ask them where they were. And if they think
that it is somebody's right to wear a mask, they think it's somebody's right
to not. And if they say it's because of this, show them the
numbers and explain why that's dumb, Because now we have definitive evidence on what
many people suspected and many people knew and didn't say anything about. All right,
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, there it is.
I have sacrificed two segments of my show so that we're all on the
same page. If you think I'm wrong, call the show and tell me.
And if you think this is right and what I said was wrong.
You explain the difference. I don't think you will, but I'm offering you
the opportunity eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Ross. I
don't care how many callers we have. They want to talk about other things.
You make sure at all times there's at least one line open so somebody
can call and explain why I'm wrong on this. And we will wait the
whole damn show if we have to. Six point fifty hang on. By
the way, June Pride Month. I know we haven't had any holidays surrounding
the LGBT community all year, and and so just a reminder that here in
just a couple of short weeks it'll be Pride Month, and NBC is ready.
They got a whole new Attenborough Lights style series. You're gonna enjoy.
You Ready, here we go? Really are everywhere. Everything you had told
us a kid is wrong. You gapenguins, bisexual lions, sex changing clown
fish. Queen always existed. It's only in humans that we have such a
stigma about it. The idea of just having two fixed sexes is clearly out
of style. Mother nature is pretty open minded. Sex is not just to
reproduction. It's clear that no matter where you look on our planet, nature
is full of queer surprises. To be honest, we should all probably get
laid a little more than we do. So if you want to edumicate the
kids do all that stuff. Look, here's the deal. And this goes
back to any of the gay penguins to discussion any of that, either the
range of human emotions that your claiming is on display here are applicable to animals
and not just when it comes to their sexuality, or you're using specific animal
behavior and then anthropomorphosizing it. If I said that word rightasically you know human
eye adding these human characteristics. Because again, and I've made this point before,
if you believe that, you then also have to believe that animals have
the capacity to do things like I don't know, premeditate for legal purposes,
you have to you have to also recognize that some of that particular animal if
you think that some are making you know they're they're inherently gay or outside of
that and not just you know that dog that humped your leg but also still
had a litter of pups, okay, which is oh well, he's bisexual,
is he is that Now when you get into a natural adaptation by certain
species. They mentioned clownfish, there's a few others. You have reversal of
roles within seahorses and all of that. Go, well, look that this
is evidence of it's not. It's it's not because that's not a human.
And I'm sorry. You can't have one bite at the apple and one part
of it without asking yourself, well, wait, doesn't that mean this as
well? Because when you start saying the other stuff it sounds absurd. So
you got twenty penguins and one's a gay pay or take us two's a gay
penguin, or one's by right ones he doesn't know what's up, he's thinking
about stuff, right, You're still applying these human motivations to it, which
also means that the other penguins have to have a rage of emotions. One
of them is a big fat racist. You're gone to the zoom and been
like, that's the racist penguin right there. That sounds absurd, doesn't it,
Although I don't know it, probably just send me a video of a
penguin in a little little robe. Maybe I don't know, but no,
So that's that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna we're gonna take all that
nature footage we have banked up that and then but it's all that b roll
stuff you didn't use because they're like, why is that lion dry humping that
other lion? What's going on? I need the I you have. There
has to be the voiceover, the Attenborough style of voiceover in this or what
are we even doing? People? Right? I want to hear about that
pride of lions stalking that gazelle. Yeah, it's mostly the women's doing the
hunting, so it's like, you know, it's five of them and they
all got they'll got their their their babies nearby, so you know they I
guess they're by right, they get that gazelle though, the pride stalks the
gazelle who doesn't even know they're there, and by then it's too late and
they're upon it and all what are they doing to the gazelle? Because you
gotta have some crossover stuff. No, it sounds stupid, doesn't it.
So no, having just one part of it, I cannot even imagine if
somebody was an honest arbiter from a biological standpoint reviewing this and was actually willing
to speak because if not, they'll get canceled. They're trying to fire the
Kansas City kicker. Yeah, the NFL put a statement out somebody got some
old Mahomes video when he was doing an interview like a year ago, saying
that in the meetings he sits next to Butker, but they don't talk.
But it kind of sounded like he was saying it like they're both laser focused
on stuff and not. This had nothing to do with because it predated all
of him going to a university, speaking to a group of students at a
private religious university and saying, hey, for the women listening, you have
been sold the most lies. And you know, ask yourself what is more
important in your mind? Is it a career or your career or is it
your family, your kids, all the rest of it. And that's a
complicated question because sometimes your career is about your family and your kids. There's
no question, man. But he wasn't challenging you to do that. He
was challenging the importance that society puts on stuff and doing it from a Christian
worldview. You watch that tape as much as you want. I watched it.
I get what he's saying, could he have could he have said it
a different way? He could have said it a different way, But I
don't think that because it's the point that they object to. And his point
was, there's nothing wrong with being a homemaker, and uh, you know,
if that's what you want to do, Uh, that's what that's what
God would love you to do. You can disagree with the guy all you
want. He did tell it you have to be in the kitchen barefoot,
knocked up. That wasn't what was said at all. And for his now
his this is not a view that is outside of the mainstream. It's not
everybody's view, but it's not a view that's like women from the you know,
should be sold by the time they're twelve and chained in two with a
room so they don't leave before they get completely Stockholm syndromed and added to the
harem. That's not that's not the view that was expoused. And I I
if, if, if that is how a family wants to structure itself,
where one of the one of them, yes that's right, even the dude,
but where somebody stays home and they are wholly dedicated to that part of
the life. That you're all building together, then there shouldn't be some derogatory
judgment on that, and you should be But most of all, you should
be You should not internally debate if that's what you feel is right for you,
how society feels about that. It's it's I have to correct you.
It's not just a pride of lines, it's gay pride of lines. Nope,
that's too simple, sir, because in my scenario they are by lions.
And yes, while there may be pride there, it gets redundant and
questionable at that point because I'm questioning whether you can attach human emotions and decision
making to ammals. So it's a touchy, complicated subject and one you're welcome
to comment on. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
That's fine, we'll hear you out. Eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. You want to be on the show, will we'll get
some calls on that. I wouldn't be honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.
I don't think they're going to fire the dude, But how long is his
contract? They could feasibly ostracize him from from this, and I look,
I've mentioned on the show if whenever they bring up these oh well, the
Major League Baseball won't sign black baseball play, Yes they will. If they
can hit or pitch or whatever the thing is they want him to do,
they'll sign him regardless of that. And that still holds true for Butker,
by the way, but he's not he's not like, he's not vander Jack.
He's not one of those dudes. But he's a He's a functional kicker.
So if Kansas City thinks, then get so. You see how kickers
are valued based on how they're drafted or how teams like last year, San
Francisco started the season with no kickers on the roster. I will figure it
out, they said, and they did so. I think the one thing
can hold true with people still just not wanting the hassle because just like with
Colin Kaeperdick, a decision was made. And yes, did that decision have
to do with his activism to some you bet, But wh when you're on
the bubble, those are the things that also factor in. Could we get
a functional backup quarterback because remember he's super backup by this time, but not
one who's going to distract from everybody else on the team. And everything that
we're doing. And in the mind of Kansas City because they're getting fed the
kid, the city of Kansas City, who's docksing this dude. The NFL
itself issuing statements people inaccurately portraying what was said. The line with him is
he said women should be in the kitchen. Did he? I didn't hear
that. I believe he said they should if they want to, and they
shouldn't feel bad about it. And then of course you got the harpies on
the view who had the weigh in. So the NFL released a statement that
he gave this speech in his personal capacity. They do not, the NFL
does not share his views. So you know, listen, I like when
people say what they need to say. He's at a Catholic college, He's
a staunch Catholic. These are his beliefs, and he's welcome to them.
I don't have to believe him. Good I'm whoop right now. We're sitting
in that audience. Do not have to accept them the same way. We
want respect when Colin Kaepernack takes a knee. We want to give respect to
people who's right. But if I could for just a moment, remember the
thing you open with Whoopee about he went and did this. He's not doing
this on company time, So I feel like that is a distinction there.
If he was you know how they mike up some of the players every week,
right, if he was miked up, I don't know. I don't
know that I've ever seen him mike up a kicker, But what the hell
they could, right, and it is part of the official program, and
he uses that as an opportunity to, you know, launch into his Christian
worldview. I can understand what the NFL is like, could you not do
that right now? Could you just do sideline stuff and high five and slap
your teammates. But because they did a good job, you know, do
football stuff, I would understand them wanting to do that. I know something
that there's probably some of this audience that be mad. How dare they cut
him off? I'm saying that in a perfect world where they're like, we're
here to do football and all the other stuff. You got all, you
know, all your free time, go do whatever you want. So Whoopee
had it so close? Are different from ours because the man who says he
wants to be president, you know who, Yeah, he says, the
way to act is to take away people's right to say how they feel.
Right, because you remember when Trump ross did you see that speech with him
at the college, and then Trump rolled out right after and high fived him
and then said the same stuff. Yeah, you had to watch the video
all the way through. A lot of people didn't get that far. How
did we get to a Trump discussion here? We don't want to be that.
We don't want to be those people. So I'm okay, why don't
you want to be the people that If somebody wants to be a homemaker and
that's what they want to do, who has to not view that in a
negative connotation. I don't want to be that person. In the same way
that if a woman wants to, you know, be an underwater welder,
what do I care? Go do it? And if she's good at it,
good for her. She'll make a ton of money. So don't let
him say whatever he says. And the women who was sitting there, if
they take his advice, good for them, they'll be happy. If they
don't, good for them, they'll be happy and different with ll that's my
right right, and that by the way, that could have summed up poor
ross having to dub that in, and we got another cut having to dub
all that insanity in. They're going to be happy and they take the advice
great and if not great, And I think that's his opinion too. That's
the read I got. So I agree with you, and I disagree with
you. So I agree with you that freedom in the spirit of freedom of
speech. I don't want people shut down or fired for things they're willing to
say. I will break with you on the comparison to Colin Kaepernick for this
reason, Colin Kaepernick was standing up for the rights of many and saying,
in a social justice moment, this is what if not expousing that people or
women in this case, since that's where we turn this, but how about
expousing if women just want to be left the hell alone from making a discis
to do this thing because their friends find it non progressive. Look at the
trad wife pushback stuff. All that is so absurd. So that sounds like
you stand enough for people, and it just happens to comport with how he
sees things. It's a reminder that we're not there yet. What this man
is doing is not just a devout Catholic. This is someone who's practicing something
called the traditional Latin Mass, Yes, which is divergent from the majority of
Catholics. It's compared to being cult like and extremely No, it's not as
somebody who did the Catechism and was raised within the faith. I don't know
Catholics who see it as cult like. Not mainstream Catholics, but a lot
of people who are political Catholics in Washington and within the press. They do.
It's not for everybody. But also that view is not something that is
necessarily strictly within that version of the faith. Understanding understanding biblically what it means
is pretty common. All right, hang on, we'll be back seven thirty
five. Hey, uh, maybe it's Aliens. Say. I'm trying out
for the new season of Ancient Aliens. So I'm reading this story and I'm
very confused. This morning from the Guardian, scientists find buried branch of the
Nile. Okay, all right, I'm interested. I'm click click aty click
click, Let's see what's going on here. Discovery of the branch, which
ran alongside thirty one different pyramids, may explain how the blocks used to construct
the pyramids were moved right, this is this and Amelia Earhart every year we
got a thing. All right, I got a question because there's a twist
here. Does that make sense? Although it doesn't make sense, but it
does because of how much they weighed and based on the time the types of
boats that you'd be talking about, but it is much more feasible. We
carry heavy stuff through the beauty of being able to displace a large flat surface
onto water notncessarily flat, but you get the gist, and that's the thing.
Okay, cool because the other you know, one of the other options
like ah aliens with their space carry lasers or whatever. But then I'm reading
the story and where scientists are baffled is who covered it up? Who masterfully
did this over the length of a river that ran this you know, thirty
one pyramids long and was wide and large enough and deep enough to be able
to carry heavy block. Because you can carry as much as you want.
But for every time you do that, based on your boat build, you're
going to have a bigger draft. Right, so you stack stuff on,
you get a bigger draft. There's ways to mitigate, play around with it,
but you are It's the laws of physics. Man, So how do
they cover it up? Well, you may never know, so maybe that's
the alien part. And now I'm confused. If you have the aliens,
have them move the blocks and cover the river, or don't cover the river
up. But you're telling me the aliens sat there and watched you haul all
those blocks all day, and then when you were done, they're like,
ah, huh, that look like it sucked. Anyway, let's disappear a
river. So I don't know how that works. By the way, what
a jerk move too? Can you imagine sitting there watching somebody toil away or
a lot of somebody's all day every day, and then only then with your
advanced technology, you're like, oh, that's cool what you just did.
Hey, watch this poof No More River. So I don't know. I
guess they're gonna have to do updated episodes. See, we're learning stuff.
Love learning stuff here on the show. It's how we roll, all right.
I got so much stupidity here. I don't even know where to start.
I guess we'll start here. Adam Sandler is reportedly and talks to do
a Happy Gilmore sequel. Are we down with this? We're feeling good it
sounds like it would be for Netflix, so it would populate there if you
got the Netflix. I don't know a timeline on this. Most of the
people are gone are dead, right, I shouldn't say most of the people.
I mean obviously Sandler and Happy Gilmore's not but his you know dude with
the fake arm, that guy's he's gone, right. And Bob Barker obviously,
so we lost Bob Barker. And I know he wasn't a main guy,
but he was definitively one of the protagonists. It was amazing is shooting
McGavin's Christoph McDonald's still alive, so I guess you know, because he's talked
about this. McDonald in an early in an interview earlier this year, suggested
his character might be back in the movie, saying he talked to Adam two
weeks ago. You know who else? Nor McDonald right, Nor McDonald was
in Happy Gilmore. Obviously he's no longer with us. Did two McDonald's working
on that. How about the big dude, the the big gentle giant dude.
Man, I think that that guy died too, right, So I
don't know, But reportedly the film is part of a two hundred and fifty
million dollars deal that Netflix has signed with Sandler. Netflix has had a lot
of success with Sandler. What was the movie? It was Uncut Gems.
I don't know if you guys watched that. I don't know. I didn't
think it was a great movie, but it was. It was okay,
but it was very successful. I don't know what it was about the movie.
I just I couldn't get into it. But still, and I guess
it would be funny if you could incorporate some of the yeah, the various
narratives within golf. You probably get a lot of cool cameos too from some
of the guys nowadays, So I think it probably do well. And even
though I don't one hundred percent know where Adam Sandler's head politically is, I've
never worried about him doing super political movies. So it would just be nice.
Maybe if the Hollywood's going to go back to the well on something that
they don't try to modern audience this that would be my hope. But yeah,
I could, I could definitely get down with that. All Right,
we got to talk about and we'll do this coming up and then we're gonna
chat with Pete Calender at eight o five two weeks ago, something happened at
Quantico Marine Corps base. And it could be a couple dudes with ahead of
steam they were gonna do something we don't even necessarily know what, you know,
what exactly they were trying to do, or it could be a lot
more intricate than that, but it deserves discussing. We'll get into that and
specifically what these two back on May third we're attempting to attempting to do because
there's still a lot that we don't know, and frankly, I don't know.
Somebody's gonna have to help me out from a military standpoint. Let me
ask this question for I get in it. If if I roll up to
the gates at Brag, Yeah, I'm gonna call it Brag deal with it
up at Brag or Seymour Johnson or Cherry Point or whatever it is. Right,
if I roll up to the gates and I'm like, hey, I'm
here with I'm a delivery driver as a delivery driver for like Amazon, which
is what's it? Please? Can I get access to the base? I
mean, it kind of makes sense in the sense that you know a lot
of people live on bass and they probably want to order Amazon. I don't
know what the protocol is, so I'm gonna throw that question out. I'd
love to know how that works. Or maybe you can't tell me because it's
like, ah, you aid, somebody wants to do something bad. But
I want to know if I'm a delivery driver, if I'm a singing telegram
dude, and somebody about a singing telegram for the I don't know whoever's the
whoever's the the officer in charge of the armor or whatever it is, and
I gotta go. And he lives on base and I got to see you
telegram, and it's my thing. Is that a way I can gain access
there? How does that work? If I've got deliveries? Let me know.
We'll get into that and then I'll tell you why this whole thing sounds
incredibly creepy. But first we'll do uncreepy stuff with rayced Agic from the Weather
Channel. He's just here to he's just here to ruin your weekend. So
hey man, what's going on? Hey? Hey, yeah, pleasure,
it's my pleasure. I wish the news were different. It's not great.
You still got quite a few hours here, though to go today and this
morning before we start to see some of those showers come in. So oh,
it looks like it's gonna get wetter before it gets any dryer. I
don't think a bunch of rain this afternoon, with some showers, maybe a
thunderstorm coming in. Most of us, even to the Triad, probably gonna
make it through at least lunchtime with no rain. Early to mid afternoon we
start to see the showers come in from the west. That should help us
get to the upper seventies close to eighty. The threat for showers and thunder
showers tonight and some scattered showers tomorrow, maybe a thunderstorm in the afternoon,
mid upper seventies and more the same on Sunday, bed upper seventies for daytime
highs. So I'm not gonna say there won't be dry periods mixed in,
but plan on at least some wet weather over the weekend. Early next week
looks a little drier. Middle of the next week we get a little warmer.
So it's not a great forecast, but I do think we'll get some
hours of dry weather. And if you're planning and you want to say,
well, when's the best chance of rain, it's gonna be in the afternoon
Saturday and Sunday, but still you may see some stuff in the morning hours.
So so a few hours ago today rain showers just start to creep over
the mountains to the west of us. So obviously try it first, and
the triangles we go through the afternoon this evening, and again I'm just gonna
say a little unsettled to try to make it sound a little bit better for
the upcoming weekend. All right, Well the way to pass the bucket?
All right, thank you, sir. We'll talk in an hour. Appreciate
it, all right, we'll come back. I'll let you know what was
going up a quantico again, just because we got Pete coming up, so
Ross, I see some calls coming in. I'm just curious. What I
want to know is how does that work if I'm an Amazon delivery driver?
What's because I understand why you'd want to and you'd want to be able to
order it, but you're on a military base, things are different. Uh,
And we'll get into that. So that's that's the call I'm looking for.
We'll get into it next CaCO Day radio program. So the you know,
we got the golf tournament in Louisville at Valhalla this weekend. Even if
you don't follow the PGA, just follow along with me. And in a
wild video this morning, one of the golfers his name Scotty Scheffler, and
if you don't know anything about golf, know that he is the top golfer
in the world. Numero uno. Okay, he's trying to drive in there.
Well it's still it's not even light yet, right showing up. I'm
not sure what his tea time is. I guess I could look it up,
but you know he's getting there. He'll get changed, get pumped,
get motivated, go hit a gazillion balls on the range. You know most
of us hit like ten fifteen before we go. He'll hit buckets and then
he'll go out and play golf, right, that's what you do. And
he's rolling in and according to reports, he they say, either ignored or
didn't see direction being given by law enforcement. So you ever been to a
PGA tournament, And I'll give you an example of how it works down at
Pinehurst, since we got obviously one of the majors this year. If you're
coming from the southern Pine side and you know how it is. You start
approaching the village, you have first you have that big, big roundabout there.
By the time this is why it worked at the last US Open,
I'm assuming it'll work the same. By the time you hit that giant roundabout,
police, sheriff, all of the folks from you know, that little
neck of the woods are they are already filtering traffic and they're not screwing around.
Pinehurst is exceptionally difficult because of the numbers and how there's all these layers
of how you get deep into there, which is what makes it so quaint
and vacationable and all the rest. But when you got a gazillion people descending
on it order of the day, and Valhalla doesn't. It's not out in
the middle of nowhere. It is in Louisville. So anyway, this is
going on and Scheffler is attempting to literally drive into the course. The scenario
goes like this, he either ignored or didn't see it's dark. Member,
it's dark, but they're wearing the vest, or he just done this a
thousand times and he thought the dudes would pick up on this. And the
reason is is because at a tournament and it's not the same everywhere, but
it is a constant and consistent thing. Generally, these dudes are not driving
their own vehicle, and they can have they have people that will drive them
around, but also the whoever's the vehicle sponsor. A lot of times they'll
have a fleet of vehicles. So if BMW's that's you know, the BMW
Championship one of the later tournaments. These guys, all the players have accessible
to them BMW's and some guys prefer to drive themselves, so they'll get one
of the cars, and obviously some will bring their vehicle. I don't know
if this is his vehicle or not, because I don't know Scheffler's proximity to
Cleveland, I don't know where he's out of. But and at the very
lead and then they have little placards. And I know this because a lot
of tournaments that I've been to, the media parking is the same as the
player parking case in point Wakefield with the what you know, the tour has
changed a whole bunch, but basically the the minor league tour right the corn
Ferry and going back previous names, and in that case, you know how
it is going into Wakefield there's the one entrance and the media parking is off
to the left, and then the player parking is basically wherever they want in
a lot. But you all have to go in there, and they have
a little checkpoint there, and yeah, you have to have something on your
dash and a lot of those cars will have it just permanently a fix for
the players, and that's how it goes. So also from a distance,
they all kind of look alike because you got to do it in there.
Who looks like he plays golf and he's driving the correct vehicle. So once
he gets up there at that point of you're checking, so he's not at
the gate, and they're like, they get him out of the car and
they they handcuff him and haul them away. Now he stopped, and I
don't I'm curious the story he stopped, but man, you're rest of the
number one golfer this weekends tournament right before. But also maybe he didn't have
his stuff out and maybe he don't you know who I am. I don't
know what happened, but I just know it's crazy video, all right.
So if I'm a delivery driver, not a pro golfer, and I want
to go on to a base. Can I just be like, hey,
I got a bunch of deliveries, all right, Matt, what's up?
Yeah? So the print gate thing, right, yeah, will Ferry Park
too easy. What they do is if it's a large company like Amazon or
something like that, they are the contracted agreement and they're vehicles, they'll have
a delivery guy or two that is authoristently delivering, yeah, consistently delivering onto
that installation. So they'll have an authorization, you know, a permanent authorization
for that vehicle. Okay, And that makes sense. That makes sense.
And I also understand too, why these knuckleheads. I shouldn't say that they
are potentially terrorist up in yeah, but up in Quantico maybe they saw that
they thought that's our way in because they present two guys presenting themselves at the
gates of Quantico saying that they were Amazon drivers, and he didn't go.
They arrested their Jordanian nationals, and they're being real hush hush, like why
were they wanted to get on base? So, yeah, they probably didn't
have the right to credentials. Because if you're a delivery person and you're not
a huge corporation, you got to go on for a daily pass. Yeah,
so you go in, you get checked out at the front gate,
they search your vehicle inside and out, and then you go about your merry
way with a piece of paper that goes in your window. Yeah my experience,
Yeah, it's been my experience. I remember I was staying at one
of the motels. I stayed at the motel that's on Basis Seymour Johnson for
a retirement thing. And I got back from the party too late, and
I'm a grown adult and this poor uh, this poor woman had to this
poor airman, I should say, she had to literally physically accompany me from
the gate to the motel, so I didn't get in any and I'm awesome.
These guys are potential terrorists, so certain yeah, certain parts of installations
can be separate from the major installation to where you have to get further security
access. Yeah, it was very ready. Yeah, definitely sounds like some
shady stuff. Not me, sir, I was, I was. I
was up to all good, but they look like they're up to no good.
All right, thanks for the call there. Friday. It is the
k c O Day radio program, and uh, frankly, I'm ready for
a weekend. Because I just can't. But before I just can't, we
got to put in the hour, So Pete calender middays, WBT joins us.
How you doing, Pete? What's up? Man? Hey, I'm
doing it right. How are you? I'm pretty good? Do you like
the new Mean Girls? Was that good? Do you like that? You
saw the Mean Girls? Right? You free from Yeah? But like I
saw it years after, it was like already a thing. You haven't seen
the new reboot? Huh no, Mean Girls? D C. Do you
know what we're here for? You know we're here. What you're here for?
Well, you don't want to talking about I think your fake eyelashes are
messing up. Yeah, all right, look look it's not working too.
Yeah. Yeah, well the big bad bleach blonde, bad bub whatever body
body or something or other. Uh yeah, last year was hot girl Summer,
and now it's that, So that's it's already attained meme hood. Look,
you know, look like the guys have a good sense to just go
beat each other with canes, but you know, not in a while.
But yes, I agree. So, Uh, first off, I was
not aware, and it does explain a lot. Uh, that representative comer
who was chairing the committee. He said that he wears hearing aids in both
ears, and so when there's a lot of cross talk going on, he
he loses a lot of what's being said. And then actually, I did
not know that, in all seriousness, I did not know that. And
that does explain some of the way some of the questions I have had over
the last two years or so watching him chair these committees. But I just
I always I always have to point out when Congress behaves like a bunch of
uh, you know, entitled parents that their kids youth sports games and such,
they truly are our representatives, you know, like you can't tell me
that that doesn't sound like any random city council or school board or hoa meeting
that occurs throughout America. And for people who are like, oh, well,
you know, we expect them to be better. Yes, I'm not
sure that now. I don't like, I don't expect them to be better
than us, just that maybe they were better at the at the being a
politician or a campaigner part. But when it comes to, you know,
being able to interact with people of a different political persuasion that vehemently disagree with
you and call you all sorts of names and such. No, I don't
think that they're going to behave better than just any random people sucked it from
a phone book. I'm gonna I'm gonna go on the record too. You
don't have to agree with me, and I will. I will see that
guys have their own version of this. That was the most catty woman thing
I've seen in a while. And like and because it was a congressional committee,
but I've straight up seen that. I've seen women at a party low
blow, soft, insult another one because somebody's getting too much attention. They
copied the dress. Anyway, It's all petty, and guys have their own
petty, macho crap that they pull in these circumstances. Don't get me wrong,
but it highlights uniquely, much to the chagrin of some of the there
is no gender folks. That was so in the wheelhouse. It was crazy
to see people default to that. Yeah, well and this, so let's
bring it to the patriarchy, all right. So for a long time,
Yeah, for a long time, we have heard that the patriarchy is bad,
and the patriarchy is essentially like the society ruled by dudes, right,
like guide engaged in Yeah, exactly right, written large. Okay, So
that's bad, okay. And when in a patriarchical society, you end up
with the people who are in charge the dudes who engage then in antisocial behavior.
And when you go when you go down that spectrum to the far end
of it, you have certain behaviors that are represented in the population. And
we have as a society said, you know what, in a patriarchy,
dudes engaged in. The most antisocial dude behavior is violence. That's where that
goes, right, So you know what, we don't like that. We're
going to incarcerate you. So we figured out a way to kind of put
some guardrails there for the society so when there are abuses, we can say
you're out. You've gone too far in the antisocial behavior. All right,
So let's now moved to a matriarchical society. What would the far end of
a matriarchical society's anti social behavior look like? Well, they don't need it.
I saw you saw wonder women, a wonder woman. They already loved
each other. It was great. Yeah, I would submit what you saw
in that video, what we saw in Congress. That's on the other side
of that spectrum, right, that's antisocial behavior in a matriarchical society, and
we don't yet have a way to set up guardrails for that you're talking about.
And these are classic things Jordan Peterson talks about. This stuff has for
a long time, and people like, oh, he's you know, anti
woman, and he's not. He's a clinical psychiatrist and he's saying, these
are the behaviors that we see in men and women, and we have these
ways that we deal with it for the dudes. We have to have ways
that we deal with it for the women. And we can't just ignore that
there is anti social behavior on display in the society at large, things like
reputation destruction, that kind of ideas a tax, These petty, uh,
what we see as dudes, we like, oh my gosh, they're petty
attacks on the way you look and all that stuff, right, But in
a in a in a female society, female dominated society, that stuff carries
a lot more purchase and it's it's very harmful psychologically to people. And so
how do we go ahead and address that. I don't have an answer for
it. I'm just saying it seemed to me to be on that side of
the anti social scale. I have this solved. I'm sorry. I wish
you'd talk to me before the show. I know exactly how to deal with
this. Go back to the patriarch okay, uh, like one of the
you know those inflatable kids pools, you know, yeah, yeah, but
but with oil. Oh that's interesting, is it? Because let me let
me, let me let me say this the cave, because you're talking about
men versus women. The caveman brain DNA for a moment, looked at that
and went do it sausually. When AOC started screaming, I'm like, you
know what, there's only one way to know, So I just for a
moment, and then I want to there's your there's your toxic masculinity on display
right there. You automatically, yeah, you automatically went back to the physical
violence side. You're such a patriarchal dude. Man. You don't want to
see AOC and MPG, right, but they can have walk on songs,
right, and it's both basically as both of them half hunched over each with
a clump of the other's hair, screaming at each other for five minutes.
I thought the worst of it came from jazz was a Jasmine Crockett. Crockett,
Yes, yeah, well she's the one who laid out that wonderful uh
saying the bad blonde, bad body or bad built body. Yeah, bad
bleach blonde, bad built body. And it depends on do you mean bad
in the bad way or bad in the good way. I don't know she
meant bad in the bad way because you also I think she also used the
word but yeah, butch that's absolutely correct, yes, yes, so just
just great. But you know what, on the very same day where right
before I saw that, I had to watch one hundred falluses float slowly through
the air outside of the New York Courthouse with Democrats pictures on the balloon falluses,
and I did chuckle because we're a nation of trolls, Pete, We're
a nation of trolls. And I you know, I've I've mentioned how I
feel about this. I hate it when idiots, when some Republican walks in
with a snowball to Congress be like global war. I mean, look at
this, or the guy when what's his name was eating the KFC so he
could crap talk Chick fil A like your all children you're all children. But
if you're gonna all be children, then do it in the most amusing way
possible for me. Right, it's all about me. They are our representatives.
This is my point. Right, every we everybody, this was okay.
So everybody now has their own TV station, right, Yes, that's
the thing. Everybody has their own TV state, and everybody has their own
radio station right via podcasting. Right, everybody has their own newspaper via Facebook
and such. So the democratization of the press, if you will, is
you know, fully achieved. And it might not be such a great thing,
just gonna throw that out there. It might be esthetically thing. No,
what it means is that there are a lot of people that have taken
bits and sticks and the way other people that they have seen behave and they
identify with it. They like it. They think it's funny and entertaining.
And when they're not outright thinking, hey, you know what, I'm going
to flash this video conference art installation over into Dublin, and they think,
yeah, they think that they can get the clicks, they can get the
engagement, and so they're going to do it. And we again, look
at this. I always say this on various issues, which is examined the
incentive structure right as a society, what the incentive structure it is to get
the very kinds of behavior that we are getting, right, But also sometimes
you you know, remember to choose your own adventure books them. Yeah,
okay, all right, but you're in this case every day it's somebody actively
choosing the sand pit. I feel like and like with the art installation,
I think it's cool. But also if you'd have told me that you're going
to put one in front of Temple Bar in Dublin, which I don't know.
If you've been to Ireland, you're to Dublin. They like to You've
never been to Dublin. Yeah, never been to Dublin. Big fans of
big fans of drink. Yeah well and yes, even in the southern part,
but in that part of the Yeah, okay, all right, so
they have obviously, you know, there's a lot of people that are getting
pretty lit over there. A lot of tourists go over there, but it's
a huge like party destination. Well, what is Times Square adjacent if not
a party? So you're like, let's put the in two of the drunkest
places on the planet. And of course it's gonna be flashings, it's gonna
be uh people holding up nine to eleven photos right on the It's just pure
troll. It is exactly what you thought it would be, and then be
like, ah, how did this get here? Give me a break,
Come on, right, it's it's the Internet, that's all it is.
So like this would have been to everybody, So like, oh, I
can't believe it, Like really, I you can't believe OnlyFans thing slid into
this the way it did every post on Twitter for you yesterday. Shut up.
Yeah, yeah, so it doesn't. I was amazed that, like
they still are like trying to convince me that this is quote art. It's
not at art installation, it's it's the Internet. It's too well. The
hot dogs, the the hot dogs the artists. Did you see the hot
dog? I did not see the hot dog. Oh my gosh, Pete,
if you go literally, if you'd have turned around from where this damn
thing and you might be able to see it. So in Times Square they
have a hot dog. It's about it's like the length of a couple buses.
It's pretty big, and you're thinking, okay, well that's a hot
dog. Obviously New York has hot Dog as part of its you know,
mysticism right there with their version of it, the lesser version, I call
it compared to the Chicago but whatever. Okay, but it's not just that
at a like much like Old Faithful, every now and then the hot dog
turns into a decepticon, right, it literally rises. One end of the
hot dog rises like it's one of those ridiculous cannons for shooting a circus performer
out and out of the tip of it it sprays confetti and obviously that has
visually a very strand it's about. It's about toxic masculinity because sometimes it's just
a hot hot dog, dog buddy, Yeah, yeah, yeah, well
that's what it's about because you thought, oh, it's just a it's a
perfectly fine hot dog. But then it got mad and now it's spitting confetti.
So give me the dam give me the only fans girls flashing I you
know, if I had to pick one, I'm gonna go right, And
this is what I mean, Like this stuff is this this transgressive art right
like ooh, I'm so cutting edge. Like once again, sir, there
is the internet. If people want to see this stuff, they can see
it all over the place, the denigration of public art, like as just
an entire industry. I think it has uh. I think it's it's on
the it's on the way out right. I call it by explanation. I
do this art by explanation, where they just throw up a bunch of literal
garbage, weld it together, and then give me some plaque that tells me
a name, that says this is a piece of art, and here's the
name, and this is what it means. Because otherwise nobody would recognize it
as art, right, so you have to tell me it's art. And
I think at this point now there isn't any way that people are being shocked
like the crucifix in the urine jar anymore. After forty years of leftists doing
this to quote public art, where they literally weld garbage together, I think
at this point we're ready for a return to actual art, things that inspire
beauty right, that represent beauty right and call us to a higher way of
thinking and representation. And I think like we're I think our society is actually
very thirsty for that. And I think that's why you see people who actually
stand up and say this stuff going viral, Like you mentioned the kicker for
the Chiefs the Ye, what's the name butt kicker? Butt kicker? Yeah,
and he I think he. I mean his jersey is now like the
number one selling jersey in the chief Fans store for men and women. People,
right, people want that stuff. And let me say this, because
people go, oh, you and Pete hate art. You are wrong.
I'll tell you what. One of the first things, one of the first
things I did when I moved to after high school, went down to Santa
Barbara for school and got to go into La one of the days. They
have amazing art galleries out there, and it is and say, right right
next to Libre of tar Pits. You can go see some of the best
art in the world. And it's amazing, right, it's inspiring, especially
when you look at some of the marble work from from Rome and Grace that
they have. I mean, it's just how do you get how do you
get perfect veins like on the back of the leg out of marble where it
looks it's it's incredible. It's not a phallic hot dog. I gotta we
just have a couple of minutes left. I in detail explained this whole mass
freak out. Screw all of these groups that are like, oh, we
have to do some people just want to exercise rights and over a matt and
I'm like, I didn't hear a peep from you guys during any of the
people couldn't even be in a parking lot to hear church service. I'm done
with you. But from nineteen fifty three to twenty twenty, this law existed
in the form that they're having it, and there were not any problems because,
and you correct me if I'm wrong, the supremacy clause. Right,
they can make laws in North Carolina, but they have to and many laws
will have a little part in there that says this, it has to comport
with any federal law that may supersede it. And from nineteen fifty three to
twenty twenty, Pete, you've worked in this market longer than I have.
How many grandmas were whisked away outside of oncology centers post chemo for wearing a
mask? Do you know what that number was? Do you do you remember
the Great Whiskings? I don't, well, I don't have a specific count,
but I can tell you every single one of them was engaged in rioting
and looting and criminal activity. Yeah. Yeah, so this is the absurdity,
is right, And you know the kicker on all of this is is
that you know the rule was put in place because of the KKK, right,
Yes, that's why the law exists in North Carolina was to prevent the
Klan from running around with their masks on. So it is not terribly that
far off brand actually for the North Carolina Democrat Party to be on board with
the remasking, but I think they've decided they've identified this as the emergency.
The headlines are absolutely pearl clutching. Unfortunately, out of time, we're not
gonna be able to talk about video games, which I saw that you and
Ross added to the list. But maybe next week better better try again.
Okay, okay, all right, there you go. Pete Calendar here and
thank you for hanging out. And yeah, you can listen to a midday's
WBTV the iHeartRadio app. We'll be back. So I was talking earlier about
there was this video. Well there's a story, and then you saw the
video. It's still dark out. It is very early outside of the golf
course in Louisville where the Valhalla PGA, where the PGA championship's going on.
And I can tell you as somebody who has attended a PGA Championship, not
just US Open, but a PGA Championship when you get into the championship levels,
because there are more people, because there are more not just the people
there, but all of the ancillary stuff that goes on, sponsor stuff and
various events, and it's it is really crazy. And you know, most
of these golf courses are not right next to a major thoroughfare, so a
lot of times when a course is doing a tournament, it's a bit of
a nightmare. Some of you live in wake Forest, you kind of know
how it gets a little preston wood a little and then of course you know
with the window in Greensboro, you try to make it work, but ultimately
there's going to be a lot of stuff, and so a routine happens.
And we do now know that Scottie Scheffler, who was arrested for disobe it
says disobeying and the officer's command on how traffic was working, basically was driving
a late vehicle. So as I pointed out, now they were using SUVs
for this. But they all look the same, they all have the same
logoing on them, the same passes. I've seen him every turnam I've been
at. They give him to the driver or to the players to use,
and that's what he was in. He was not in a personal vehicle.
And there's also more to what was going on because everyone's decided either Scheffler is
a jerk or the cops a jerk, but understand the situation. So it
is still dark out. Scheffler, like the rest of the golfers, who's
getting there early. His tea time now is stated at ten twenty, so
he previously had I guess a nine am t time because they've delayed the tournament
for an hour and twenty minutes. Here's why. Prior to Scheffler and the
rest of the golfers trying to get to the course this morning, it's on.
You know, it's pinched into this this one road a I don't know
if it was a fan or somebody attempted to run across the street and got
smoked by a bus that was used to transport I don't know who The bus
was transported is part of the tournament. A lot of times they're transporting workers,
you know, all the different volunteers they have hundreds of people that are
in a volunteer work capacity around these things, and they got to bust them
all in from somewhere in that time of the morning. They're probably busting in,
you know, groups of the individuals who stand inside the ropeline right and
go shush or all the little signs that say shush. So they're busting in,
and a pedestrian got mowed over and killed. Now Scheffler and none of
the other golfers would know this obviously. The officers who are out there directing
traffic, they would look like normally officers directing traffic, providing security. And
you also have homeland security concerns. You have anything where you have a large
gathering of people, especially one like this where they might be outside some crazy
you know, I'm gonna get my virgins kind of dude or whatever the motivation
is. If they wanted to drive some sort of explosive device in the middle
of that, it would be really, really bad. So that's what they're
used to. But understand the process. If you're one of these golfers who
drives to these courses six times during the week, right because they got practice
rounds and everything, this is pretty common. You see everyone getting slowed down,
you know that you are eventually gonna have right of way, and what
these guys will do, and they're not jerks about it necessarily, but they'll
kind of they'll get out of traffic and drive. I've literally been in the
line and watch the player vehicles go around. Even though technically I can park
in that lot, I was in a private vehicle. And the cops may
initially be like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, but then
they'll see what it is. They'll see and then they'll just go ahead give
him away, or they'll just ignore it. And so Scheffler, at first
thing in the morning he was going there, he did not know that they
were. It was a death investigation, which I understand why law enforcement is
going to have to roll things down. They're investigating somebody who got killed.
Scheffler doesn't apparently know this, and now his mugshots already out. They took
him and booked him man and among the complaint. In the complaint they also
say dragged an officer. That's not technically accurate, but maybe legally accurate because
of this. At one point after he had kind of driven around thinking that
he could, he would have been surprised to hear somebody jump onto the vehicle
because it's got the you know, the step side that you have on like
you know, a suburban or a tahoe. I think it was a tahoe,
right, And the officer jumped onto that thing and was banging on the
window. And at that point Scheffler is said to have stopped within about out
twenty five thirty feet, right, you're probably trying to figure out what the
hell is going on. Maybe thought it was a fan, I don't know.
And at that point he immediately stops and they take him right out of
the vehicle. They don't mess around up against it, cuffs off, you
go, and his mugshot's already out. So if you're the PGA, and
I understand that somebody's been killed here, if you're the PGA, that in
and of itself is a nightmare, obviously, And it may have nothing to
I mean, granted was a bus over there, but it may have been
somebody who's just thought he could cross the street, didn't realize how much traffic
was coming. But now the number one golfer in the world is arrested.
I don't even know what the status is, just because I'm having to do
this the show, so I'm following bits and pieces and wait, hold on,
what did you just Arrust has sent me a tweet here and having a
big day with jeez, somebody tweeted you know who else was arrested and taken
away and chained three days before a big Sunday. I see what you did
there. To be fair, he was not in that Jesus was not in
a position having won four or five including the Masters, and potentially being able
to get the two first majors of the year while in the number one position.
But you know, if he wanted to, he could have been yeah,
oh what a mess up there? And don't I don't know because then
it's turned into well you got the office here here, who's overreacted? And
I might have thought that at first, because there's been incidents. There was
a golfer Adam hadwin last year. It's kind of funny it was actually was
it last year? I think it was last year. His buddy won one
of the tournaments and had when with your credentials, with credentials that you have
a lot of times they have a bunch of little letters on there but and
it tells you where you can be. So well, I have I have
a meat output media credentials for the tournament at Pinehurst, and I had to
go through and say, these are all areas I want access to. So
you have the media tent, you have inside the ropes. There is an
area that's designated that's inside the ropes greenside. Generally that's for photographers, but
when you're a player, you have a you have a little thing that says
you can go anywhere you want. And the problem was had when it put
on a shirt because you know, tournament's end as it's getting into the evening,
or a sweater or a sweatshirt. I can't remember what he was wearing,
and you couldn't see his credential. So when his buddy made the putt
to win, Hadwin was standing there with a bottle of champagne and it buddy
makes the putt and Hadwin shakes it up and runs out there and starts spraying
his buddy. All the security guy on the green seas is this dude who
he can't see credentials on and he rugby tackles him, and you know what,
after it was done, everything was figured out the security guy. He
didn't lose his job. Hadwin understood what the issue was there, and they
said, hey, all right, you know this is what it was.
I understand what you did, what you did. You understand why I did
what I did. And they had a laugh about it and it worked out.
This thing has now gone to booking photos. I don't know. I
don't I don't know what they're going to do with this. But if you
faded Scottie Scheffler on DraftKings, good for you. Okay, I'm sorry at
five rays stagic from the Weather Channel, are you follow this insanity? I
just started picking up on it a little bit. I didn't know the pedestrian.
The pedestrian killed thing. I understand why the officers obviously, and and
but a golfer driving in. Have you ever been in one of these tournaments?
I have not. Okay, now golfer's driving in. They will pull
out of lines of traffic because they have official vehicles, and mostly there may
be a cop at first, like hey, who's this a hole? But
then they'll see it. And so I think Shuffler was expecting that was what
was going on. But also I understand the officers are sitting there going,
look, we got a we have a crime scene, right, we have
at and it got hit by The whole thing is a mess. But yeah,
putting his bucking photos already on the internet, it's crazy, man.
Yeah, I did see that, So I forgive me for not paying.
I mean, and he's supposed to be playing this weekend, isn't he.
Yeah, he's supposed to. He's the number one golfer in the world,
that's what I mean, the last five He just won the mask. H
yeah, right right right. I did know that because it's my youngest daughter's
a favorite golfer. Yeah. Like I said, I'm just putting good and
he's like, he's like one of these guys who's so stupid nice too,
Yep, I know. I'm I'm privileged enough to know. Uh why,
I know a guy out of Raleigh actually plays on the tournament, right,
and uh he he has his reputation for being super nice guy. And even
he thinks he's super nice guy. Right, so it sounds like everything probably
think that guy's nice guy. Holy crap, man, Yeah, that's going
on all right. So that's up in Cleveland or excuse me, Louisville.
You deal with the weather here maybe people getting into golf, but here's here's
stage screw you. So yeah, you still have time if you've got something
before noon, maybe even early afternoon. Some showers will start to come in
west east after that, so try it first in a triangle. Maybe a
thunderstorm, no severe though, I guess that's the good piece of this load
of mid seventies. Over the weekend, more scattered showers, had a few
thunderstorms, of thunder biased toward the afternoon. I don't think you get hours
and hours of consistent rain, but conversely, I don't think you get hours
and hours of dry weather. So it's kind of a mix all weekend.
As the rain chances are up pretty high. I think early next week we
started proving and getting warmer and getting back up of eighty degrees as soon as
Tuesday. A couple of dry days, maybe a shower Monday, but through
Wednesday looks like we'll start to get back into the middle eighties. And yeah,
so the next couple of days a little unsettled. Uh, there'll be
what I mean, just prepare for it. If you're gonna go out and
golf, i'd say go early. You may only see showers for the mornings
through Saturday Sunday, the afternoons, it could pick up just a little bit
of this weak low going to develop. And I think the worst day will
be Saturday too, So probably gonna day at the club. Yeah, yeah,
probably inside, right, nothing can just you're ready. You gotta be
ready, and right, you gotta be ready to go. All right,
all right, thank you sir. Having a good week, okay, yeah,
and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang on, Jeff Bellinger here
to cap off the week. Jeff, what's happening? Well? Investors took
a breather yesterday, a casey after the three major averages closed in record highs
on Wednesday. Yesterday's loss is really very modest, and right now it looks
like a stocks are poised for a higher start now futures are up nineteen points.
More central bankers, including the presidents of the Federal Reserve Banks of New
York, Cleveland, Atlanta, and Richmond, sought to tamp down speculation that
interest rates might be cut soon. They all indicated rates will need to stay
high for a longer period. A Boeing is holding its annual meeting today.
The Airplanemaker's executives will no doubt face a lot of questions about canceled orders and
safety issues. A federal panel has affirmed the dismissal of a proposed class action
over Amazon dot COM's use of voice data. Two plaintiffs alleged that Amazon used
information gathered from Alexa devices in its targeted campaign. The Ninth Circuit agreed with
lower courts that Amazon's privacy notice spells out just how that voice data will be
used. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store joined the other casual dining chains that have
indicated their dealing with some challenges. Cracker Barrel says it completed a review that
resulted in some store closings. The chain has seen a decline in the number
of customers, and it slashed its dividend. Nostalgia brought vinyl LPs back from
the abyss. Now another relic from the analog audio era, the cassette tape,
is making a comeback. The music industry sales tracker Luminant Data says more
than four hundred thousand music sets we're sold last year, and that, of
course is a far cry from the peak sales year of nineteen eighty eight,
but up from eighty one thousand, nine years ago. Experts say it's the
younger music fans who are behind this trend. Casey oh okay, all right,
well, how nice for them, Jeff, appreciate it. Have a
good weekend, sir, You do the same. Talk to you on Monday.
All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News. Oh,
man, like we're coasting the end of the show. Everything's worked,
you know, okay, and Boston Paul calls, what do you want?
Hey, just before I get to my point of channel five and channel eleven,
helicopters a circle and it boaches over there by aquake men. But yeah,
smular situation. Probably arrested a cancer Sure, grandma with cancer had a
mask on. Outside, it's already begun, I could agree. Yeah.
Uh at the masses, I remember there was a guy that was it was
outside and uh he curve trying to get to the olive gardens and they pulled
him out, coughed him and wait, wait, wait wait, I got
a green jacket and uh yeah, he had a green jacket in the back.
They uncuffed him and it turned out to be Ross going in for a
fifty percent discount. Here's how I know that's not true. Even under the
stupid made up parameters that you obviously have previously discussed. Uh my understanding,
you would have to have two jackets. One was on a hanger, he
was, one was on the seat, and one was on a hanger.
Yeah, yeah, I see, I see. You know the real as
everyone's running Shuffler's mug next to tigers and completely ignoring the six John Daily mugs,
including the one he caught in Greensboro. It's the open. So yeah,
in the earlier you you mentioned another cut compared to Wakefield. It's Wakefield
Plantation. Say it? Well, technically it's TPS. There was TPC at
Wakefield Plantation, So why don't you say it? Oh he told to correct
me and you did not. I did. Man, by the way,
you watch, tell me answer me a question. So for those who know,
know, a bunch of these MIT students who were protesting, they put
out their own sizzle reel of cops spinning them around and landing them on the
ground. Did you feel a little nostalgic watching your former brethren go hats and
bats on them? That makes you feel And you know, I know,
you know, back in the day we had to go back for you know,
we always didn't training every year, and they come up with the PR
twenty four and they called it the Georgia State Police takedown, you know,
because of the riots down and they come up with that pH one four thing.
Man, Yeah, you just missed those days. Yeah, take him
down, flip him around, and you know, didn't puff him and stuff
him. You're a monster, all right, get out of here, enjoy
your weekend. Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, there you go,
Boston, Paul. See how well behaved he was after his beatdown.
