I'm just saying it ain't my first rodeo. That's that's all. I was
saying, what a weird and crazy and wacky and awesome and flash horrible and
crazy weekend. Uh done? You got it. From the sports front,
you had Iowa Caucus insanity where they like they go into caucus. And it's
important to remember that I was obviously does things different. This gives him identity.
This and the field of dreams field thing, which is there's two of
them. Actually if you go weird, I don't know if it's a feud.
And then uh, I'm trying to think of what else. I mean,
Superman was nearby, but that was was Kansas, then was of Oz
and yeah, so so anyway, this is their big thing and it's different
all obviously in what it is. But but what's important is it's also proportional
kind of mostly so and and while they don't have the most, there is
the ceremonial aspect of it. And then so like they go in and and
the media is like, ah, we can now project a winner and it's
Trump, which is not a bad mathematical assumption, not by a long shot.
Even if you're like me where you're like, I don't know about some
bowls and stuff. You kind of expect that, but but it was strange
because it was like, remember the hesitancy with which they were willing to call
states for Trump the first time around, and now they're like all in and
then it turns into accuse it Tory, you know, inter fighting. You
know it was, it was what it normally is. But it's everything's just
got a more foreboding or hopeful angle because people are so immediately there's so much
history there. I was reading Biden's tweets already, not his tweets, let's
be honest, but from his not the White House one, but the Joe
Biden one. They're like, see, we told you, we told you
it's gonna be maga Republicans. Then it's gonna be maga Republicans now, and
get on board. Uh huh okay. And then I just saw a poll
with everybody there who was on the primary ballot yesterday basically beats Biden heads up.
So and then Pat McCrory's jumping in on the social media with his no
label stuff and that's going well, and uh so, like I don't know
that anything necessarily progressed forward, But there were some interesting little news nuggets that
came out of that Trump and is uh it was was gracious in victory.
Okay, he was Trump in victory, which is you know what he is?
Again, That's the thing, that's the the the the Biden strategy is
they're just laying in wait, They're just you don't know what they're gonna They
could snatch up what was it last week across they were gonna snatch up all
the journalists and who else, all the journalists and all the gay people,
all the journal Well that would be double duty in some instances and in some
it would not. But how that's how how are they gonna are they what
are they gonna? Are they gonna lure them with stuff? I mean like
is he building like complex traps? And you know, how do you and
then what do you do? We just did The city of New York,
the largest city in the United States of America, found the inability to deal
with two thousand extra people. The third largest city found the inability to deal
with eleven hundred extra people. Talk about U Chicago, their governor winding over
the weekend. So you're telling me, even though it maybe of a of
a you know, a different political persuasion. You're telling me that our government,
in any way, shape or form, could round up all the journalists
and all the LGB is it is it just gay or is it all the
other letters? I think they implied it was all the letters and then the
two Spirits and the other ones. You're like, what is that that as
well? So I'm not saying government can't do large scale roundups. I'm just
saying they've shown this wild inefficiency and if your plan is that's probably what he'll
do. I mean, we don't know for sure, but I think we
know for sure, and they have a track have a track record. Yes,
I don't know if you can tell my next gen computers decided to reboot.
I really want to play the audio and I'm hoping that it really well
let me do this, because I thought it would just do it in a
timely manner, and it's thinking, so we will, well, we're going
to get to all of this, and then you couple that with the insanity
that was football. And I want to get this discussion in early, not
necessarily just early, but I want to be very strategic. But when we
when we do it, because I'm concerned about a guy, and so I
think we have to make a pack here on the show. As I'm dragging
this out more, we gotta make a pact on the show Ross. I
think at seven forty five and eight forty five this morning, we maybe we
talked about Miss America pageant or something with cross talk yuh, because like,
dude, I felt so bad for him. I I sign here's the deal
I saw. I did because I like Ray and I like my buddies too,
but not on Sunday all the time, you know what I mean,
like, because they're they're boisterous and and and and they talk a lot a
lot. Well, I say, Sunday me whatever date is. But and
and that's fine, it's you know, that's Texas football fandom in a nutshell
and whatever and and and and and they're not hypocrites, like you know,
something bad happens to him, it's just but it was wow, Wow,
that was the thing. And I was torn because it was thing at the
hands of my usual enemy, the Green Bay Packers. And now there's no
NFC East teams and there's two NFC North teams and I don't know what happened.
So I couple I couple all of these together because maybe we're all hallucinating.
It's just so weird. Man. We'll start the breakdown. We'll get
to the audio. I'm gonna kick a computer that's Monday on a Tuesday,
and how we do it here on the CaCO Day Radio program. This is
one O six one FM, Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four
f w PTI and the Triad. Yeah, I mean, they didn't move
you to Detroit this time. She had that going for you. I remember
I was sitting there and I'm watching and they're like, ah, they they
decided to when they said they were move in your game. Oh yeah,
because at first they were like saying, hey, you should go down to
Atlanta. I was like, no, you shouldn't. No no, no,
no, no, no no no. So I mean that's a better
alternative than you know, either moving to Atlanta or you know, last time
they put them in Detroit, which is a dome. So it's you know
essentially at that point, Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't preserve the conditions.
And even though it took you guys next day and uh, Fortune Magazine made
it sound like they like none of you guys would show up to shovel for
for five bucks or whatever theyre I can't remember where they offered, No,
just twenty bucks. And I think it was like bring your own shovel the
shovel, I don't know. I felt like they were trying to say that,
oh, look that Bill's fans are not showing up. No, I
mean the state was packed. Yeah, I saw their picture they used,
but I also remember seeing some video where I'm just like, oh, oh
man, they're gonna love that one. Yeah. No, so you know,
they put the tarp over the field and stuff, a clear that off.
So the field was fine, but then you look at the the seating
area of the stands, yeah, and it was like you have people like
sitting on top of snow banks and stuff. It was crazy. I think
they made the right call though, because when you see videos of this storm
that went through there with that lake front snow, it was bad news,
dude. And like Buffalo fans are lunatics and there they will drive to the
stadium in that in that weather. Well that's the concern. Yeah, move
it to Detroit. And last year during that blizzard was like forty seven people
died in Buffalo because of that storm. So yeah, and then they moved
the Bills games. You guys stay in your house and not drive, and
UH were like, oh, it's an advantage for Buffalo. Well not really,
because now you play Kansas City. Kansas City is gonna have two extra
days of rest, and after the Bills lost so many players on defense yesterday,
that's not really a plus positive right to have the team is two extra
days of rest. I well, that's I hear you. I hear you
there. And and some would say there's some historical beef there as it,
you know, as it pertains to this particular playoff game position. Also,
I mean, an amazing game to watch if I guess, if you're not
a fan of either team, just you know from you know that from you
know, step back and let everything play out. But no, look,
I this is why I don't. This is why I don't. This is
what I was telling you, is why I don't text you during anything.
Okay, listen, I I appreciate you and I love the hell out of
you because you are courteous and you understand the process. Yeah, yeah,
no, because I don't want to be up in your head during that.
I don't, right, you know, text me during the game, you
leave me alone, and if the Bills do lose the next day, the
following day, you tend not to bring it up until I do, which
I greatly appreciate. And I'm the same way with you. When the Vikings
lose, yeah, do not bring it up and listen right, yes,
yes, because I'm watching this game and the Bill Josh Allen goes on a
fifty two yard run, which was incredible, and my phone blows up,
and I'm like, you a holes, I'm my my in laws are own
intern Ivan Michael, Who's house? I'm gonna bulldoze? Uh? Didn't you
go to Ivan's wedding? Yeah? I love them to death, but what
are you guys doing? Like, listen, if the Bills are up twenty
one and nothing, and these texts are like, oh, the Bills got
in the bag twenty one to nothing. There's nothing those dealers can do.
Oh my god, you gotta be feeling so good right now. I'm like,
no, I do stop texting me. You are cursing the team.
You don't understand the Bills could be up fifty six to nothing at halftime,
and a vast majority, a vast majority of the fans who have been fans
as long as I have, like forty something years, are sitting back going.
Look like that. We could be up fifty six to nothing at halftime,
and the vast majority of Bills fans are sitting at home going, We're
probably gonna lose this game. We're gonna lose the game. Four Super Bowls,
thirteen seconds against Kansas City, Music City, Miracle game, numerous games
against the Vikings. Just be quiet until the game is over because you're gonna
curse it, and Marky will tell me during game time. We'll tell you
during game time. I'm sitting there, you know, I try to avoid
the game, try to clear my mind. But I'm checking Twitter and I'm
trying it to because I'm very superstitious, and she knows, do not even
speak to me. He touches his hand with his left or the phone with
his left hand, not as right. And you texted me afterwards, and
I was very appreciative of that because you understand it and you respect that.
But everybody else, I'm like, you guys need to chill out well because
I don't like being gas lit by people. And you you you approach what
I texted about as a fan. I approach it as the media screwing with
me again, you know what I'm saying, So like reunited on them,
I just said, And it wasn't an analysis of your injury situation as any
of the rest. I'm just like, Josh Allen just scored four touchdowns because
you ran one? Is he three or three ran one? And and uh
uh, damn boys got sent back to Demn Holmes for the rest of the
damn years. So like Dack to all these guys pro bowlers, and like
when Josh Allen made that run, you know, I said, I'm sitting
at home. I said, he's not a He's not a Pro Bowlers.
In the MVP discussion even right, MVP not a pro Bowler, not all
pro okay, whatever, all right, I just say there's some bias there.
Sub would some would just angry Bills fans who need to have to need
to have a bunch of snow around them at all times, so if they
do light themselves on fire, the rolling is more effective or I don't know
now, when it comes to Sunday, if the Bills can get some of
those defensive players back, because I know one is out for good, but
other ones. It's just sort of banged up a little bit, and we
are going to be getting I think Douglass back our cornerback on Sunday. If
we can get some of those defensive players back, I feel good about the
game. Okay, If not, I don't feel so good. And here's
the other thing. Like when these games on Twitch, I predicted every game
game correctly except the Rams game. I thought the Rams are going to beat
the Lions. That was wrong about that one. But I did pretty agree.
You had the Cowboy ye, sure did, Sure did. But the
only game that it wasn't sure about. The only game that I was like
had no clue and it was doubtful about was the Bills game because I've been
a Bills fan and I'm used to heartbreak the Eagles last night. Although the
Eagles, like you could that was more if you watch how they played the
last couple of weeks, you could see that transition there. So they've been
playing like hot garbage. Yeah, it's not been good Bush. The Bucks
had. The Bucks had a little bonus advantage. Right. All you had
to do is during the pregame, watch what happens right as they're getting ready
to go to it. Who was that Burlison? And I can't remember the
woman's name, the host where all of a sudden they found themselves a well,
here we go. Gee of course goes running after her and it's his
buddy and it was Rick Flair. It is I can great, is it?
Thanks for joining us to me? Wait? Wait, wait, So
Rick Flair runs the International the people in charge of the Internet. I mean,
I'll live and Rick Flair controls the Internet world rather than like World Economic
Forum. I feel like it'll be a little more fun. Oh, thank
you guys. My god. When I saw him on street, I I
felt bad because I would discs I'm moving and I was saying at the addition
and lucky enough to run into you guys. So sir, But as you
know, buccaneers mans go, we're picking the books. And when you want,
you want to be the man, I tried to go, you want
to be the man, you gotta beat the man, And right now the
man is a Tampa Bay buccaneers. Whoa, that's the way to end nartext
man. You've got to be a style and profile jet fine, kiss me
the Wheeler dealings again. Yeah, I don't know it's gonna work next week.
But that was fun to watch this week. How do you get him
on that? You need to get him on the bills? Bandwagon, man,
you gotta steal Rick Flair away, That's what you guys, Because Rick
Flair, if you ask who does he roof? I would have assumed the
bills if I didn't know. I don't know why. I don't mean that
as an insult. I just mean that the show after the show is on
the iHeart Radio app. Search Casey oday for the podcast on the iHeart radio
app. All right six thirty five and welcome back Cacy O Day Radio program.
I for one am looking forward to watching Swifties meet? Is that wrong?
Is it wrong for me to look forward today? And and also where?
Where? Does like they're probably gonna have to build a hotel for her
in Buffalo? I'm trying, only been to Buffalo a couple of times.
I'm not like there's not a four seasons there, so I don't even know
how that works, right, did she just read you guys just give her
city hall or whatever, because you know that that that's gonna be a thing.
But I think it's also going to be a thing dealt with very interestingly
by Bill's fan. I think you're going to be very disappointed. I think
they're going to be incredibly polite to her. No, they will, they
will. That's how they are. The I retweeted the photo of it's a
classic photo of Hillary Clinton going into that apartment during the fourth floor walk up
studio, dirty thing from the forties. Yeah, and it's heart walking into
the kitchen with that look on her face like, oh good lord, you
live here, and just says Taylor Swift walking into the nicest hotel in Buffalo.
But you know what, if she stays at your hotel, you make
your bones on that. Do you know what I'm saying? Going forward,
everyone in Buffalo would be like, that is indisputably the nicest hotel in Buffalo.
Uh, the Taylor Swift right it out, the whole two floors or
something. So you got that going for you, That's all I'm saying.
Uh. But that's why I want to get this in early, because I
I don't want I don't want to do this to poor Ray. I some
fans I got into the dumbest, stupidest argument, not an argument yesterday,
but just somebody or no, it was two days ago. But somebody was
sitting there running their mouths and they're you know, they're talking about and they
were talking about Dallas. Uh, you know they could they they could come
back. They could come back and maybe set a set a record for comeback,
which I don't believe was mathematically possible. Well, I'd have to check.
But then one of the guys is he's a Patriots guy. He's like,
you know, you know what I when you hear about a pretty impressive
record for comeback, Ross, I don't know if you've heard this. Apparently
the Patriots came back one time from a pretty big margin, which I'm aware
of. I've been sent to memes. I told the dude, I'm like,
you know that's not the record comeback, right, Ross? You knew
that was not the record comeback the twenty eight three? Yes, yes you
did. Yeah, apparently some people didn't know. And I explained to him
that the record comeback and he goes, well, I don't know what was
And I was like, well, it was two years ago. And I
could see a rack his brain trying to figure out if the Patriots came back
from a larger margin, and they did not the record for largest comeback in
NFL history was the Minnesota Vikings two years ago go against the Colts, to
which immediately goes, wow, those are the Colts. And that was the
super Bowl, which is fair, but the Colts were playoffs. They were
still in the playoff hunt at the time. Noah granted it wasn't the best
chance, but there was that. So I'll yield that. And and I'm
like, you know, and I said, do you want? And then
the quarterback matters too, and he's like yeah, And if you know a
Super Bowl quarterback, you're you're good. I'm like, yeah, you're right.
Do you know who that was for the Falcons against the Patriots that took
that took that Elder Ross? Do you remember the quarterback in Atlanta? Matt
Ryan? Remember Matt maddy Ice or whatever they call it, Matty Ice.
Do you know who is the quarterback for the Colts in the largest comeback in
NFL history two years ago by the Minnesotawakens. That would be Matt Ryan,
who then went to the Colts. So so anyway, I did enjoy dropping
that little truth bomb and attempting to irritate because I don't have any I don't
have a dog in the fight. Do you know what I mean? I
have a dog in the fight, So all I can do is really stir
the pot. And I accept my role as a non playoff team fan.
And also one it was like I don't want us there because everybody's half dead
and I don't know that it goes well for us. And then we had
like a new resurgence with past or not for two games and now he's the
fourth string or something like nobody knows what's happening. Just craziness, all right,
So we got that's doing. We got Iowa Trump coming out following the
fifty one percent percent of the caucus Photy received and then basically the other forty
nine percent split with DeSantis and Hayley and then also a percentage for Vivek and
uh well here is here is Trump talking about that. I also want to
congratulate to think because he did a hell of a job. He came from
zero and he's got a big percent probably eight percent, almost eight percent.
And that's an amazing job. They all did. There are very smart,
very smart people, very capable people. It's like, here's the thing,
and we said this from day one, that is Donald Trump, for my
esteemed colleague from Montana, right where they're taught, you know, where you
just know they're getting ready to unload on this other member of Congress that they
hate, but not really because they go to lunch with them all the time.
But yeah, you got a fundraise, right. But with Trump,
it's like it's that it's that odd nicety, except he does it in this
very transparent manner. It's it's the same thing but with a wildly different delivery.
And what is of course interesting in that is based on I think it
was seven point seven his not Trump's campaign, but round Swamy's campaign. They
made a decision. As I've said since the beginning, there are two America
First candidates in this race, and earlier tonight I called Donald Trump to tell
him that I congratulated him on his victory and now going forward, he will
have my full endorsement for the presidency. And I think we're going to do
the right thing for this country, and that is that's a guy who wants
to be in a cabinet position or maybe even vice president. But that's you
know, it's the nature of things. It's just it's in an environment where
there's a lot of new ways less now than you know twenty sixteen, but
new ways in which the same old things just continue to play out. Right,
a candidate or a politician low blowing an opponent only to later have them,
you know, even within their own party, only to have them you
know, now they're buddies now, Like that's not a new thing. What
was a new thing with Trump? Is he accuse one of the other guys
who adorsed him of his dad helping to kill another president. I mean,
that's it. That was the nuance of it, right, and and has
old as his wife. So yeah, look, it's crazy, But is
it any more crazy than Whoopy Goldberg on this thing that I referenced earlier.
Here we go. I'm gonna be on day one. I'm gonna be a
dictator who says it to you, tells you, I'm gonna put you people
away. I'm gonna take all the journalists, I'm gonna take all the gay
folks. I'm gonna move you all around and just period. If that's the
country you want, you know who to vote for them, that's not.
If that's not the country you want, you have to make a decision.
By the way, what is Joy Bayhart? Is that how the bags are
I mean, obviously she's being sarcastic. She firmly believes that. In her
her weird, almost happy listen, you'll hear her laugh. It's crazy.
I'm gonna be on day one. I'm gonna be a dictator who says it
to you, tells you, I'm gonna put you people away. I'm gonna
take all the journalists, I'm gonna take all the gay fights. I'm gonna
move you all around and disappear you. If that's the country you want,
you know who to vote. Come on, man again, you couldn't.
You couldn't figure out how to move a tense city for a night without irritating
the crap out of so many people in a wildly unnecessary manner. With you
have access to so many venues that could have easily held them, and you're
like, nah, we're gonna put them in that school right there, and
I'm gonna tell the kids stay at home and not come to school. And
then if anybody questions, it would be like, do you want migrants to
drown? And I'm just like no, But I've been to I've been to
New York and I remember there being other buildings. Are you aware of this,
that they have other buildings in New York, large buildings, big ones.
ROSSA. You're from New York State, I know, not New York
City, but you had heard that they have a lot of like big buildings,
many of them very tall, right, I have heard that. Yes,
yeah, that is That's the thing, unless it's changed. Last I
was in New York was over the holiday. Well, I was at jay
I was at JFK Airport. But I could see the buildings coming in and
I could see them going out. So unless or or maybe that's a hologram,
right, just try to keep us, you know, like we're in
the matrix and fully full of fooled. Because I didn't actually leave the airport.
I thought of going from one terminal to another because I was in the
terminal where there was no I couldn't go to any of the clubs that my
ticket would have been okay for. And they're like, well, no,
if you leave this terminal, you got to leave security and go in.
I'm like, oh, you don't connect between the terminals. That's smart,
that's the way to do that. The hell is this? But I saw
it from the air so there's that. So yeah, I mean sure.
Again, if you're going to make these prognostications, the problem is is you
have a track record of all the stuff that you said he was going to
do, like like your deepest, darkest self projection in some instance fares of
martial law. And I mean, I'm not going to dig into the whole
lot IBr of everything they said. He didn't do any of that. And
then after he's done, you're like, well, what we got to do
this time or after he's on the first term, we're gonna readily admit that
we're going to quote fortify the system against him, and that's from the public
and private sector. And you're like, isn't that kind of stuff you're accusing
him of and that you did? What does that even mean? Uh?
What a duality of stuff going on that matters but also doesn't matter. Well,
it matters to Rachel Maddow. And I've I've realized ross the thing that
I might be most looking forward to, purely from a selfish standpoint, is
do you remember the golden days of soundbites following the twenty twenty sixteen election.
Of course I do. I mean I remember that every day, every day'd
wake up, I'd come to the station like what can I load audio?
Can I load today? Here's this right, yeah, here's this guy,
here's a girl melting down, here's another, Here's seventy two more. And
unfortunately it kind of, you know, reality sets in and it waned in
its awesomeness. Remember that Trump super cut that went around forever where it was
it was the timeline of the election, and it kind of opened with like
a culture on Bill Mahers show, and and then eventually you see this escalating
series of cuts of the of the networks having to call states, and it
culminates with Trump coming out, sorry, serious business or whatever he said.
That thing had what seven quad trillion whatever that number you made up the other
day view of views on YouTube. It still does. But it required all
of Barack Obama. Will you at least I'll be president, like we need
that. That's the way that you fuel that. And madaw Man, she's
uh, I guess she's willing to get back into it. The big picture
takeaway from that, and I don't mean to be again too dark as you
said on this, but it is not. If we are worried about the
rise of authoritarianism in this country, we are worried about potential rise of fascism
in this country. We're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially
fascist form of government. Yeah, you know, one of the hallmarks of
those kinds of governments is the either elimination of elections or overt manipulation of them.
But you know that, right, There's a reason that Pinochet got a
lot of votes. There's a reason that Kim Jong un still does well.
Although what was he down like ninety seven percent last time? I mean,
public might be finding out. So anyway, I'm sorry, go on,
Queen. The leader who is trying to do that is part of that equation,
but people wanting that much bigger part of that express And the American electorate
is made up of two major parties. One of those parties has been flirting
with extremism on the ultra right for a very long time. I guess wrong
when she said that they've brought them in in a way that they haven't been
central to Republican electoral politics ever before. And I know because I've been studying
this uh huh uh huh yeah, let me uh you have. I feel
like you've been studying just one side of this because right. The flirtation with
extremism is not a uniquely right or left issue. It's about what he is,
a hyperpartisan monster in the form of political party, because that's what it
is. Trying to figure out what's the largest tent I can offer without scaring
off people on the without spilling people on the ends. It's not positive business.
It's not great in in a in a in a pure sense of the
word. But it's not a unique thing either, right. The uh,
the boo Jews movement of the left is insane, but I still want them
to vote. So in the same way you got a problem with you see
as right leaning authoritarians. I just again, But that's that's Mattow. All
right, I gotta take a break. Hang on smart talk all day nine
w p T I in the triad and one six one m talked in the
triangle. All right, real quick, this email, Sorry, buddy,
gonna disagree anyone who calls for the eradication of a race you're not gonna vote?
Was I was I implying that I thought it was a good thing that
uh, there is this Hey, we're going to figure out where the gray
line is on the part of politics and politicians because it's a numbers game.
No, I didn't say it was a good thing, right, In the
same way that trying to carve out some reasonable nature for some of the statements
by members of the squad and then being people who are like, oh my
god, could you believe somebody went to a Louren Bobert thing? Right,
I'm saying that one. I don't feel they're on the same level, But
mostly I feel like you're a giant hypocrite at that point, Like I don't
there's I don't find a lot of usefulness for people who are particularly in my
mind, insane, regardless of which end of the spectrum they're on. I'm
merely observing the phenomena. I'm just being honest that that's a thing. So
please don't miss and interpret where I'm at on that. But that's where I'm
at on that. So we'll get your calls coming up. Wait, hold
on, think this, Oh great achievement for the Vikings. I think the
key piece for the pass comeback was timeline. You were down twenty eight three
and a half, Roz we were down thirty three nothing do you can you
do some math? I'm sorry to make you do math thirty three to zero,
twenty eight to three. Would you tell me if one is greater than
the other. All right, he's telling me the thirty three number might be
greater than the Noah, I'm just saying, if you were a Patriots fan
who all of a sudden became a Tampa fan, are you now are you
committed for the follow through? That's what I was asking. I don't know
that. I don't know how. I don't know how bandwagon rules apply here.
So that's why I was a little confused, because now your boy's gone,
but now your other boy's gone too. If you need a home,
I you know, I'll get you. We'll get you some purple. Let
you blend into it. You want to go red, white and blue over
with uh with Buffalo, You're welcome to do that. I'm just saying,
you know, come on, it's okay, but you gotta stick with it.
You got to see it through. That's all I'm saying. Let me
get a call to kick it off this hour, Donna. What's up?
Good morning, Casey? Nothing nothing, Trump's that beautiful Edelman catch. Come
on now, But that's not why I'm calling. Okay, that aside,
you're talking about how you know they turned into mental cases. An example I
found on Twitter yesterday, really got back somewhere you never left. But yeah,
but on this particular issue, just not where they didn't leave off for
a minute. I've been trying to figure it out, you know, like
why they hate him so much, And I think a big part of it
is is that they're the participation trophy class and when the Hillary lost, they
just they couldn't take it. I understand why they hate him so much.
It's just like that's not new in the reason why. It's the execution thereof
And I think it has been a large part because you know, he never
yielded for a moment in clowning on them. And you know whereas a lot
of politicians just to go along to get along would would say, you know,
we've seen it historically. We'll sit there and allow themselves to be demonized
in that manner, whether they earned it or not, just in this weird
keep the peace, thinking that one day it'll pay big dividends. And I
was I told I talked about Trump last week kind of when early on thinking
that he could schmooze people. But once you figured that out, he was
done schmoozing, and all he had to do was look to that second big
press conference in the Yellow Room where he upgraded the fake news status of one
journalist got into it with the NPR lady, and I mean it was you
realize that, all right, this is where we are, this is where
we're. Yes, it's on. I'm going to get this in yesterday.
And this is what they do. This is how they work. That comment
that he made about even if you vote then pass away it's worth it,
Yes, he cut took that line and said Trump's ultimate loyalty test. But
would you die for me? Yep? Cult Yeah? Or or he's trolling
over an actual argument that was made in Pennsylvania by the Democratic Party, which
is what well over voters who would cast ballots. Yeah, because there is
a process for or that you cast about on election day and you go home
and die that day. There's state law around it there. And what the
problem was is there was an absentee about you know, the drop box because
everything was crazy during COVID. So I took that as him trolling and it
didn't work. I get it now, Yeah, Or maybe it wasn't.
Maybe maybe you know what I'm saying, but that's how I was. He's
still playing that three D chess. Maybe I was five. We're up to
five D. Now it's crazy day in quantum plans. We can't even understand
or or he just said something because he says stuff. You know what I'm
saying. It's either it's either trolling or to stop sending me scoring flow charts
of Patriots super Bowl stuff. All right, one person who's just discussing,
I got another person who's I'm not. This is why I asked Ross to
do the math. I don't know if thirty three minus zero is still more
than twenty eight minus three. I think it is. But for all produtical
for this is Monday. For me, my brain's not on yet. Don't
ask us of this, or don't just look at that. Don't ask this
of us. That would be the way to say it. That's how not
my brain is on. By the way, it wasn't just Rachel Maddow,
the aforementioned Joy Behar who just gave that weird laugh to Whoope during her audio
earlier, or Joy Reid. I'm sorry that Joy Reid. I was gonna
say Joy Reid just like Joy Behar, and because they're both named Joy.
But I see say again, I'm proving I shouldn't be allowed to do math.
If my thirty three minus zero or twenty eight minus three are wrong,
then I'll figure it out later when the brain finally kicks him. But I
don't think it is. Meanwhile, Joy read, much like the aforementioned Joy
behar of earlier, was in fact not full of joy. The important sort
of data point, and you know, Steve talks about it a lot.
He's he's gonna probably talk about a little more tonight, is that these are
white Christians, that this is a state that is overrepresented. Wait, wait,
hold on, Ros You didn't live in Iowa, but you could see
Iowa and for some reason, your airport's in Iowa. Right, Yeah,
we would drive over in accounts of Bluffs to get an extra hour drinking.
Oh that's right, and they got casinos over there, h a star.
Yeah. Do you ever notice white people with Iowa? I sure did.
Oh wow, because you think you see everything through a lens of race,
that was what it was. Well, no, but you were there for
the drinking, so maybe that like it wasn't informing your decision, it was
just Hey, that's where the booze is for an extra hour. Almost was
so weird because there's like you think you're on one side of the river,
but there's one side of there's a part of Omaha and this weird like river
loop where the airport is, that's actually Iowa. It's kind of strange,
man. But then if you go on where you think where you're sure you're
on the other side of the river, you are in Iowa. That's where
the booze and and yambling is. And according to read here, all the
the white people that like to go to church presented by white Christians that are
going to participate in these cathices, especially tonight i today, earlier today reached
out to Robert Jones, Robbie Jones from the Public Religion Research Institute, knowing
that we were going to talk about Iowa. And this is a hyper even
Okay, yeah, and I'm sure, I'm I'm gonna have to stop this
because there's so much dumb here. You had to get a research person involved
to know that Iowa is a lot of white Christian people versus other states,
Like did you have you have you ever seen a coverage of the caucuses in
Iowa before you work in the news. What is what is Iowa if not
weeks usually of both sides, but just weeks and weeks of politicians who don't
want anything to do with Iowa in all honesty, right going to every fair
and every restaurant and just and like in Iowa, there's people that love it,
and then there's the people like the lady who just wants to get ranches
at dressing and cursing Gillibrands in the way, do you know what I mean?
Or that guy who was sitting at the remember Biden trying to talk to
that dude sit at the diner table who is literally his body language. Remember
the body language segments are Iley used to do, Like I don't have to
be that chick watching that dude, watching that dude try to sit there and
just not look at Biden so he come over and talk to him, like
I feel that. But knowing and seeing all of this, it's gave me
a pretty good understanding that Iowa is. Is Iowa a bell weather of politics
for the entire nation? I mean, arguably it's It is a bit middle
of the road in how it has ended up voting for president in the past,
more so than some states. But no, in the same way that
I don't think South Carolina represents the totality of the US or California or Florida
or you know, pick whatever state it is. It's just what it is,
and then you have to sit there and evaluate it through the lens of
your own research. But I don't know, you need to bring a special
person in to go, Hey, I have a sneaking suspicion that I was
full of white people. Yeah, it's not one hundred percent full, but
it is. If she says overly represented, what makes it overly represented?
Does that mean I think that the southern US and the Rust Belt, which
have the highest percentage of black populations in the state, do I feel that
that is an overrepresentation versus Idaho. No. I feel like there's two distinctly
different reasons and stories as to why mass migration out of the South post,
you know, reconstruction was the thing. In the same way that Idaho was
not nothing against Idaho. It's beautiful, but come on, jelical white state.
And he said the following to me, Iowa is about sixty one percent
white Christian. The country as a whole is approximately forty one percent white.
Christian and in Iowa, we're talking about evangelical white Christians. And he said
following, Because I asked them, what do they get out of Donald Trump?
Because he keeps losing, he keeps delivering losses and loss and losses.
And he said the following. They see themselves as the rightful inheritors of this
country and Trump has promised to give it back to them. Okay, all
right, Well, to be fair, is are they inheritors or takers of
the country? Because the narrative I'm used to do you know, do you
understand the nuance that I'm asking Are they the inheritors of the takers? I
guess you could argue that they're the inheritors of the takers? But is and
what does that mean? Give them their country back? I mean, aren't
you sitting there during the Trump presidency going this is not this is not who
we are. How many times do you think the line this is not who
we are was blurted out on MSNBC or CNN during Trump's first term, all
of them, probably all of them. I mean that had to be on
average every other sentence whatever. Right, So, in your own way,
you wanted to look to a candidate who would bring the adults back in the
room. I believe it is one way it was described. So you sought
somebody who you thought was going to restore what you thought America was, which
is kind of the whole point of a presidential election, if I'm not mistaken,
figure out who you think may not be one hundred percent, but figure
out who you think is more likely to give you the experience that you feel
America is. And you know, you're a person's vision for America when evaluated
by another person, could be like quaint, nostalgic, horrific, right,
But that's why then the other person gets to have an opinion. So I
don't think your vision is right. In fact, I think it's downright diabolical
or I just you know, all right, fine, yeah, I'm with
you. That kind of thing. That's that's that's where this is. She
brought, She brought, as Mitch Hedberg would say, she brought ink and
paper into this. For this is easy. This is a layup man,
not a layups. That's when I figured out I was horrible at basketball.
Ross it was like innermural, young kid, and I get a breakaway.
All I have to do is just do. No one's even pursuing me.
And do you think I made that layup? I did not make that layup.
It haunts me to this day. You just took off and dunked it.
No, I did not do that either. I way too quickly when
nobody was coming after me like I was Michael Jordan, decided I would do
this thing where I would do the layup at full speed instead of stopping.
And that hit the back road. Yeah, kind of so hard. It
basically gave the back the ball back to the other team on their side.
What a way to pass it back to your teammates so he could dunk it.
Yeah, I did not. It went to the other people. I
probably if I just stopped. They so they gave so little crap that I
had the ball that if I just stopped and missed, I'd have got my
own rebound and another opportunity. So maybe I shouldn't use that term. Oh
uh, nothing else Idaho? Have you heard of the way? Yeah?
My mom my mom. Once the kids left, she ended up buying a
place up by Cordelane. And that's that's the thing up there. That is
a thing, that is the thing that U is in and around the uh
Quarterlane and sand Lake. More specifically, Idaho area got a lot of people
are really short haircuts in some very cold climate. But also when I think
of Iowa, it's not who I think of. I think of a little
bit of the Western stuff, and I think about Idaho or Idaho. Excuse
me, not Iowa is having a lot of potatoes, sharing some agricultural interest
with Wyoming. I had some friends there. I went to high school rodeo
there a couple of times, just across the border. And oh yeah.
It's also it's way more Mormons than you think are in Idaho. Everyone just
thinks Utah. You have no idea, not a good or bad thing.
It's just observational. So yeah, you take it all. Man. Isn't
that where Glenn Beck's thing is, his whole fortresses right just there at southern
Idaho. That part of southern Idaho is basically an extension of Utah. I
mean, if this could help too with the visual, That's where they filmed
Napoleon Dynamite, right yeah, yeah, the house right there, because Beck's
place is near that house, right yeah. So I don't know that's and
then every that's that the cell way if you don't know what the cellway is
just some of the greatest elk cunting in the world. That's when you can
start to get a little panhandled, but not quite all the way up.
And then a bunch of Hollywood a holes do a film festival out there in
this one. The it's like it's like their version of Jackson, Right.
It's a place where nobody from Idaho actually lives, even though it's in Idaho,
except if you are staff and you live in like the staff quarters of
one of those places that's Iowa Today or Idaho Toda. There you go.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I gotta go. Did you want to say something?
I got about ten seconds. I gotta go to breaks, So I'm
gonna say. I mean, they're not racist. They they elected a Hispanic
school president. If you remember the film right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was right there. Vote Pedro. Come on, we'll be back
your day Smarter one O six one FM Talk and News Talk ninety four five
w PTI more with Casey starts now. Oh man, this is going to
bring joy in my life today. I hope it gets it starts to build
uh so uh but it is also interesting and I'll have a straight up discussion
about this, because I think that the platform, obviously ex Twitter, whatever
you want to call it, I think is is still wildly useful. I
wonder if the way this is what I'm torn with because I can't figure I
can't figure out if him monetizing it was a good thing or a bad thing.
And I didn't think i'd feel that way, but it it really opened
this door for now a fundamental change in how people approach trying to get engagement.
And you know, to some extent, I think it'll filter out because
I find myself slowly ross. I don't know how you are. I find
myself slowly noting those accounts who were just farming engagement and they didn't and especially
if they do this they go into a popular post. It used to be
if somebody did a popular post, there was some scammer, right, raise
money for the kids of Martina or what. I remember that guy everywhere like
a hundred accounts like I get that. But then others who would be like,
ah, here's Donald Trump, or no, here's here's the thatak saying
he's dropping out of the race. And then for no reason I can understand,
there's an account that just posts fight videos from like six years ago,
and they're like, yeah, that's cool, but how about this in the
comments? I can't stay Yeah, that's the thing I hate now. And
you see like someding like, oh, let me check out the comments.
What do people have to say this? And it's like a post that has
nothing to do with it, trying to get their own I think I'm back
on I think I'm back on my timeline. I think I accidentally clicked back
because it's so random. Do you know what I mean? That's just so
I like, I don't know, but here's what I can get down with.
So Elon had said something along the lines of, you know, mister
B should post his stuff on h on Twitter, he'd make more money,
Which that's an interesting concept obviously. You know, dude gets a lot of
engagement. It's on YouTube. I don't know that he's he's bringing his program
over. But YouTube doesn't demand exclusivity that I'm aware of. Do they do?
They lie? I because there's content creators on TikTok that are on YouTube
that are on other stuff, unless I guess, unless you have a big
contract with him. Does Twitch require that you can only stream with them?
Or could you go over to what's the other way kick or whatever? You
can so you can stream unless the rules have changed lest I knew. Like,
say you like a streamer of Twitch and you're like, I want to
stream on YouTube and then kick at the same time, right right, Uh,
if you do that, you cannot profit, so you can't monetize it
possible, but you can't. You can't. You can't. But you can
do independent content for all three, correct, But you can't do the same
broadcasts in all three. Can't do the same live content. But you could
post because what I'll see. What I see dudes do is they post portions
of their Twitch stream then on YouTube, but it's after is that allowed?
Yeah yeah? Or you can like cut it up or make it different.
Yeah yeah. They're like, hey, here's here's from the show earlier,
here's the best hour or whatever. Then they throw it over on which,
okay, whatever, do what you're gonna do. So, uh, what
was interesting is then mister Beast, who is a obviously a North Carolina legend,
I I I've not I've never loved or hated. I've always I've always
found enjoyment in what he does. Although he is I feel like, I'm
too old for the quickness of the cut scenes. Does that sound weird?
Like the energy level is always at one hundred in those videos, and I
got to be in the right frame of mind. But I appreciate what he's
doing. I appreciate what he's doing. My most enduring moment was they there
was this one little snippet where they're at an event that has obviously not been
organized well, and like, I don't want to say he breaks character because
it's he doesn't really break it, but it's like you could tell where he's
just like, look, I don't have time for this crap. Y'all are
dumb. Here's how you need to be doing it. And there's a curse
word in there, and I'm like, yeah, I feel that. And
then when he's out doing this stuff and like, you know, oh,
he's fostering white savior complex. Like now I like the dude more so what
does he do? He posts a video it's not a new video, but
it's a video that they had done that did well, and he said it's
one dollar car versus one hundred million dollar car, which is obviously it's the
grandiose span of what is his content? There and he posts that and he
says, I'm curious how much revenue it will make, so I'm re uploading
this and then I'll share ad revenue next week. And then Elon reposted it,
which obviously helped. How many views does this thing you have already?
Forty million? Is that a lot? Ross? Is that a lot?
Forty million? And I think it is? Yeah. Then he posted it
yesterday, yes, say pretty good? Oh yeah, okay? And then
this is this is this is the part where I I love this stuff.
Then you start scrolling through there and it's three year letterman, the brilliant,
brilliant troll account who just captures everybody goes this is absolutely pathetic, mister least,
because part of the deal is intentionally getting the person's name wrong if were
unfamiliar with it. And the guy is an equal opportunity troller. In fact,
he put a brilliant post out about who's easy and who's not easy to
troll and certain certain fandoms and followers and whatnot. So now he's trolling.
Elon. Fans are less susceptible because they're more familiar I think with Twitter.
But also, uh, mister Beast fans and others and uh, I'm here
for this. This is gonna this is gonna be great. I hope,
I hope. I hope it pays big dividends because I dive in there and
people are already like, mister Beast makes millions, which is way more than
you make. He's the greatest maker. Video fall. He says they have
a full suit of armor. I don't about a vintage globe, you know
what. I suspect he actually probably does have a suit of armor. I
don't know, man, but a vintage globe? Come on, man,
who is he the see the uh? The astores? I mean, I
mean, who has that kind of money anymore? You know what I'm saying.
Finances is waterbed I mean yeah, but yeah, but it's also in
the Master suite at Biltmore. I mean it's a point Biltmore. But does
have a fountain view anymore? You had the whole wall torn off for one
of those videos. Crazy, But did I see, Like, yeah,
what what's funny about that, dude is remember they just they saw a squid
game and he went, We're gonna do our own squid game. And they
did. Yeah, I did, like twenty people died. No, no,
But but did they because I watched the video and they didn't. They
didn't say that, but why would they? But then like Netflix is like,
let's make our own game. Remember they decided to make a game,
and then they were finding out that they nearly killed a bunch of the contestants
because they were like, like they were unable. The people who did the
thing in the first place could not convert it into a live game in and
and have it not turned into potentially almost a mass killing because they were making
people stand there in for Red Rover in like wet, cold conditions for hours,
is the allegation. But the YouTube guy could Yeah. Yeah, the
guy from the dude from eastern North Carolina got it done and quick and everyone
looked happy even if they didn't win. So I don't know, man.
Anyway, speaking of winning, Ray stage is here. Did you watch the
you see who the new Miss America is? I did not? Oh?
Yes, uh air Force Air Force officer. Oh that's cool. Cool,
Yeah, that is pretty cool that Miss Colorado Air Force. Yeah anyone check
that out? Yeah, check that out. What's up? What are you
doing? Oh? Yeah, great? So much for dry January after Sunday's
game? What what game? I'm sorry game. Yeah, I don't know
which what are you talking about? I was, dude, we're talking about
the pageant? Ross? Were we not just talking about the pageant? We're
just like for late the past four hours? Yeah, we started. We
were like, we're gonna we're gonna do this to two hours and fifteen minutes
early and here we are. Okay, okay, good. I thought maybe
you'd lay lay it on me pretty thicks and so on you yesterday. Here's
what I'll say. Here's what I'll say. If you had told me at
the beginning of the weekend there'd be no NFC East teams and two NFC North
teams, I would not I would I would be like, you are already
not doing the not drink January thing. Well, here here's what I'll I
would say. The only surprise for me was the Texans. That was the
only surprise, and not because they beat Cleveland, but because they beat them
bad crap out of them. Yeah. I was rooted for Cleveland Detroit super
Bowl. Yeah, I was what are you gonna do? I was he
and Turrey you know where I am with the Cowboys, that ain't it?
And anybody who watches this team and that team play. The defense is not
elite. They beat up on who they're supposed to beat up on, and
all the stats come when they play crappy teams. I'm sorry, Micah Parsons,
please do not put him in the same conversation as Lawrence Taylor. Wow
wow, yep, fighting words. I am at that point. You want
to Alice, you don't do a hit in Dallas for you? Not occasionally,
Yeah we do, but I fill into not the day man, don't
know, Today's not the day. But anyway, you know, weatherwise,
but you're gonna take it. He's gonna take his anger. Wait to hear
what he's gonna do to your weekend, exactly exactly. It's gonna be as
cold here as it isn't Dallas. Actually that's pretty talking to. Boys are
gonna freeze, Yeah they are. They are. As the colder air starting
to come in now to our west and overspread the area. A little light
precip around nine. Would be shocked if this morning maybe a little sleep pellet
bouncing off a windshield, especially try it and west most of us really not
much out of it, just some rain showers, and then as we get
into the afternoon, we should see things turn a little colder, may steak
into the forties today, maybe the mid forties, and then as the winds
start to pick up, that's gonna be the Arctic air coming in tomorrow night.
Tonight you're gonna wake up in the teens. So tomorrow morning, excuse
me, in the teens. The wind chills could be at or into the
single digits, so very cold Wednesday morning, then only in the upper thirties
in the afternoon, low twenties Wednesday night, Thursday morning, then Thursday near
fifty. And then as we go through Thursday night early Friday, there's a
small chance we have another chance of maybe some light mixed precipitation. Probably gonna
stay mainly rain, but as you go further west, maybe some light snowsleeter
or freezing rain. And then up near fifty Friday before the next Arctic front
comes in another cool down, getting colder again over this upcoming weekend, so
cold airs on the way should be within the next few hours, very cold
morning Tomorrow morning, again on Thursday morning, and then that cold a retreat
before it comes back. By Saturday and Sunday morning we're in the teens in
low twenties once again. Well, I mean there's you know, there's sports,
so there's that. There's always that. Now I just don't and I
don't. Even My wife looks at me, like, my you're not even
angry. I'm like, no, I said, I'm not surprised they lost.
I mean I was surprised they got blown out because the score was.
It sounds like you're little. I don't know. Well, usually I rub
it. I'm not here to run, you know why, because you don't
track. I had a couple buddies. I told you I got cowboy fan
buddies, and they have been obnoxious, right, and so they did get
a little of that, but they was earned. It was earned. I'm
not Yeah, I don't do that. I just so right, okay,
all right, man, appreciate it, you know anyway. Madison marsh by
the way, is the Miss America's name from Colorado. So there you go,
armed with the info. By the way, listen to this overachiever Air
Force officer, second lieutenant and interning now at Harvard Medical School and Miss America
plus Madison marsh Ross. Doesn't that sound like an intrepid female reporter from a
comic book with Moxie and great Games? Like Vicky Vail issue, right,
does hear that? I'm not trash it on her? Good for her?
Man, you got so much going on at twenty two. I'm just like,
oh, that's twenty two year old. That sounds exhausting. Is it
the real Harvard or like the extended school Harvard? It's Harvard Medical School?
Okay. I mean they don't have a derived version of that that I'm aware
of. But also who the heck knows anyway, That's that's the thing.
Yeah, I think Gray was fine. I'm sure he's, you know,
dealing with some stuff with other markets. But we're not going to be those
people. We're not. We're not here to do we would we would not
do that to another fan base, like like that's childish, Like like Ross,
would we post a picture of a fat Taylor Swift eating chicken wings?
We wouldn't do that, would we? What? Let me just delete that
real quick? What what would you? Ross? Now you didn't make that?
I just want to be a fun I generated. They asked AI to
generate a photo of Taylor Swift in Buffalo, and it's heard like a dive
bar eating wings at in morbidly obese. The wings though so good. Come
on, there's no vegetables screwing things up. I mean, I mean,
check out, check it out. Casey on the radio X something all right,
well, well the monsters will be backing you. Connection. This ISNT
four the triad and talk came the triangle. I enjoyed these moments when it's
clear people didn't click as I mean. It was a little remember when Twitter
first started doing that thing where you want to retweet a story this is underdoor
Sea and if you didn't read it, even if you had read it earlier,
which is what would happen, right, I'd go and read it because
you know, I'm going through prep or whatever. Then I'd see it on
Twitter later and I might, you know, have some little comment. I
was like, don't you want to read it first? I'm like, you
don't know whether I read it, shut up. But that was part of
it. Although over the weekend I was watching the news story of the CEO
of Barstools going to be leaving. And if you remember, there's a bunch
of folks who don't like Dave Portnoy because he is I guess he's toxic masculinity
squared or whatever. I don't know it kind of looks like a dude who
won't put over your stuff. So there's that, and so they would They
were just retweeting the story, which was headlined on the New York Post bars
here we go. And actually, now it's weird because now they have a
different slight headline here. But if you see how it posted onto Twitter,
it basically says barstool ceo is stepping down, and so all of these idiots
just thought that was he's not the CEO. And so like these these folks
who are I guess journalists, didn't bother to click through into the story to
figure out that the CEO of barstools, a woman by the name like Erica,
ayers she's leaving and it's not It doesn't even sound like it's some weird
bad thing. Yeah, here we go, the Barstool Exclusive, Barstool Sports
CEO is leaving. And I saw these people tweeting and going, good,
finally we got him. And I'm like, that's not even who that.
Did you click the story? You didn't click the story? Did you?
You gotta click? And then when you click, you'll read stuff, and
then then you'll you know, you'll know stuff. But also I'm like all
right, this is good. Now I know exactly whose idiots that I got
to make sure I'm not following, so it did make that easy. Also
over the weekend, we kind of got a little glimpse of this last at
the end of last week, right where Iran's like, hey, that's our
oil tanker now, and it's partially a US oil tanker, like the like
the tank I think the tankers ares, but the Oiales Nun or the other
way. I can't remember because it's like something with a Greek ownership company too.
So anyway, they just took that and I pointed out many pointed out,
hey, that's crazy, because like I thought, we were given like
giving them access to money and stuff and we were friends again. And then
all of a sudden, Iran's like, yeah, yeah, I remember those
you know those rebels. Yeah, we're totally funding that. So what do
you gotta do about it? Well, that's that's where we are. And
Iran has continued to bomb two neighboring countries, and it's like, I'm for
I distinctly remember the president saying we weren't gonna do this is your message to
Hesbala, and it's backer Iran don't. Don't. Don't, don't. What's
the message to Iran don't. It was very important to send a very clear
message to anyone who he was lauded over this and then I ran when I
don't have a translator. I don't know what they did. I didn't care
because they did. And this is where we find ourselves to kick things off
this week. So we'll be keeping an eye on that, your calls and
much more coming up. All right, good morning, everybody, and welcome
to Tuesday, the Tuesday. That's right, ac O Day Radio program.
Another of these four day work weeks. I'm gonna like them, big fan.
Maybe we should do this all the time. So yeah, we're we're
in into that hour number three. I was just I was toll ross off
the air, so like it's it's interesting because you have local perspectives based on
you know a lot of times, who is your social media and where you've
lived over the years, Right, So if you used to live somewhere,
you probably still follow a little of the news there. And one of the
ways that you get that is like you get it through stories that are being
posted like I'm I'm I'm not one hundred percent away on everything going on in
Wyoming. But I have a pretty good outlook. It's like ross I was
telling you off the air, because you you probably don't have hundreds of Wyoming
followers and friends on your social media. I do. I went to school
with all of them. And by the way, that's like a third of
the state. And it's funny to watch. Wyoming is a place where you
get to choose your own adventure. In the world of professional sports teams,
there's an expectation you'll just go with Denver, but why I'm in Colorado.
Don't even really like each other. Like we make fun of Colorado, we
call him Greenies back in the day. And it wasn't personal. It's just
state rivalry stuff. But so you got to pick. He didn't have to
go with Denver, and a lot of folks did. They went with Seattle.
I went with Minnesota. It's not unusual. So with that in mind,
though, when they find something to rally around, it's great. And
the rally point is you guys over in Buffalo, Man because of Josh Allen.
Now, Josh Allen is not from Wyoming. He's from California, right,
He's from California originally, and but he went and he played for the
University of Wyoming and and did well obviously, and then ended up going to
the NFL. And and you know, it's kind of good at this and
so it's funny to watch when they think he's being because there's a little bit
of there's a little chip on the shoulder of a lot of people in Wyoming,
not all of them, though, I think they do a good job
of not giving a crap, but a little chip because you kind of feel
like you're being disrespected for your size, right, so it's like it's like
you're a five to one dude who I'm not picking on, but you get
you get the gist of it. And sometimes it's a positive when people have
that perspective on Wyoming because you're like, that's good. We don't want a
bunch of a holes coming out here anyway. But also you kind of get
screwed on stuff like back in the nineties, University of Waoming's football team,
I've mentioned this was not bad and hang on with sham and gets your call
here in just a moment. In fact, they were nationally ranked a couple
of years. I think they were as high as sixth uh and then come
bowl season, they didn't get a bowl or they I mean they got like
the not a notable bowl, even though they were one of the best teams
in the country and not just within the whack schedule, which it was at
the time Western Athletic Conference, but they had they had knocked off some big
time teams and then you get a bowl there's like, well, there's not
enough of you to travel, so screw all, y'all. And and while
that's disrespectful, it also caused the program to hemorrhage recruits. So this D
one football program, which you know was doing everything they were supposed to,
was basically told, hey, even if you guys do well, you're not
going to get the publicity. So if you're a if you're like a four
or five star recruit, you're not entertaining that a three stars non cause you
realize you're not going to get the There is a cult of personality that goes
along with parlaying this eventually into an NFL career, and you're not going to
achieve that at Wyoming. So that's the little chippy stuff. So it's really
funny because you because of your influence. My Twitter feed, the show twitter
feed is heavily Bills and because of me growing up in Wyoming, my Facebook
feed is heavily Wyoming and it's all the same posts of people, right,
Oh yeah, they love him and he's getting a raw deal and this is
just what they do to guys and it's great. I love it. I
love seeing the same things posted so anyway, man, So that's that's going
on there. And then like the the wolf thing. If you've never I
know that, we deal with wolves in the form of the Red Wolf out
there. I'm not pleased where we're gonna dive into that. I understand everyone's
position here, but wolves are a big deal out in the Western United States.
You know, when they're putting them in Yellowstone, it was like it
was like it was crazy in Montana and Wyoming, in Idaho with ranchers,
man, they were like they were threatening to go out and just murder all
of them. And obviously the Yellowstone thing did its thing. They did have
some rob some predation issues up towards Red Lodge and whatnot, and there were
some wolves that I guess left and I don't know with suspicion as to what
happened and the reason for the reintroduction of wolves in Wyoming and Montana and Idaho,
Yellowstone specifically Minnesota, Wisconsin, or at the very least trying to burgeon
the populations was you know, was this thing that people undertook, and the
same debate rolled out. It was like, okay, an al rights people
be like, oh, we got to do something to help the wolves,
okay, and then we here's our target, okay, and then they'd hit
the target, all right, So can we take them off the list of
in danger because damn look at all of them, like no, but it's
you know, in this state only and not that. And I'm like,
well, hold on, I'm confused because arguably in Monte Hannah, if I
start counting wolves just across the border, I'm already hitting my numbers. What
are you talking about? And then the populations would grow and grow and grow,
and the Feds would would have no choice, even though lawsuits would abound,
of turning over the management of the wolves to the state, the you
know, the individual state a'll be a quasi federal, but state and federal
authorities and one of the ways that you manage things is through hunting, I
know. And then everyone lost their damn minds again, and so these weird
deals were struck. We're like, all right, we're not gonna let you
hunt to actually keep the numbers where we wanted them to be, because it's
a nightmare with the activists. However, if something happens to you or your
livestock or your hunting dog or any of that in you know where we put
all these wolves that were now not going to control and there's gonna be this
gigantic increase in predation, We'll just compensate you. And that's that's what happened.
People figured out that literally they have a fund in Wisconsin and this dude
went out and like, he's out there hunting in the woods, and all
of a sudden, some wolves are like that dog looks delicious, and they
get killed his dog, and he, I guess was aware of this,
and so he went and saw compensation and they have literally I think it's between
twenty five you get twenty five hundred and some soy you get up to ten
thousand for other animals, but dogs you can get twenty five hundred bucks if
you're out hunting and your dog gets killed by a wolf. And so the
guy just like hey, and then people are like, oh my gosh,
this is horrible because again it has the word hunting attached to it, so
everyone's having an aneurysm over that. So little, you know, a little
some different each and every place. I remember first hearing about that ross and
I'm gonna sound horrible here, but I'm I remember thinking, well, okay,
if your dog's getting old, you know where I'm going with this.
Right, let's say you got yeah, and I know, beef with dogs.
But if if it's like, hey, you know, he's got to
distemper or the hips thing, that the right, you can go to the
vet, or you you can go hunting. And I remember saying that on
the radio. If I just said it again, people lost their crap man,
which is partially a joke, and I actually heard a comedian do a
similar joke, so it's not super original. But I don't know. I
think that we both arrived at the logical conclusion there. So it's again it's
just crazy. And I point this out because we were doing all of the
caucus stuff and you have these idiots like Joy Reid or like I don't understand
why Iowa was not exactly like where I live and I'm like, because it's
not, but it's part of it. Your foot isn't like your hand,
but it is, you know, attached to a limb. So there's a
commonality, albeit for very different purposes. Unless you don't have arms, and
you're like that dude who robbed the store with the pistol with his feet in
Brazil, and all of you made armed robbery jokes, that is the rare
exception. All right, let's get over to the Miss America's stuff. Michelle
has been hanging on listening. We talk about nothing. Go ahead, Michelle,
what's up? You are hilarious and I'll get that. I come to
that conclusion to my question London, I have no proof. This is just
a question that I have. Did the ask the worst store, whoever?
In whatever? The girl was very beautiful, She's done a great resume.
So did they? Did they? Cause you're in that pageant to go recruit
to recruit because the recruitments are down dramatically, as you know, be all
you can be and uh, look she's a female too. Yeah, so
there is that, but you know, a hard fast rule. Now do
I think do I think that it's a recruit it's a it's a behind the
scenes recruitment effort by the military. Probably, well they're going to use it.
Well, sure, they already are. They're like, hey, look
what our Air Force officer did. And I'm fine with that because I have
to judging by what this, uh, the other things that this woman has
accomplished or is attempting to accomplish in the form of medical school. I feel
like she's one of those people who's just like, all right, I did
that, I'm gonna do this now. She'll probably go climb Everest in three
years. Right, some people are just driven like that. I mean,
no, and I appreciate that. But listen, look, do you you
don't think they could have recruited because the big question is did she have any
pageantry in her past? That would be my question to Tierras and Toddlers.
I don't know, I don't know, but I mean, I'm just asking
you questions. I also get the impression that she was in the woods with
her dog and a wolf came up, that the wolf would its family would
need compensation, so you know whatever. But all right, okay, all
right, don't tell your dog what I said, right, you know,
that's that's between us and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources? Who will cut
you a check? Does it work for all dogs too? Like I understand
if you have like a vslaw or you know, or a hound of some
sort. You're like, I'm in the woods hunting and look, but like,
could you you out there with your pomeranium and be like, oh my
gosh, the wolf got it? Why was your pomeranium run around the woodserts?
You know, it's one foot tall. That's my hunting dog. Pay
me my money? And I don't know the answer to that. I really
don't. Oh man, okay, all right, so we got so perhaps
they Miss America whoa hold on? Well look at that yet? And you
know what? Now, I know it's a conspiracy because Siri tried to jump
in and I'm sure that was the government. My phone's just sitting there and
say, ah, I'm gonna get involved in this. I don't know.
I think what's hilarious though, is knowing what I know about you know,
friends of mine, military folks, friends of mine that even though she's Miss
America, she's an officer and is probably going to be a Harvard educated doctor,
which I understand, Harvard whatever, but still like even somewhere right now
is a marine or a member a soldier in the army or a semen in
the navy, uh calling her chair Force. And I just that's what I
love about this that that that brotherhood there. And I know that because somebody
just sent me an email that said chair Force in it, because that's what
Hey, that's and that's for you. I was. I didn't serve in
the military, but I just it's like, yeah, but she did all
those other things. I mean, there's that. So I don't know.
I know it's eight twenty. We're gonna take a break. Our phone number
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four speaking of folks training in
the medical field. What the hell is this story? Even? I'll explain
coming up. Hang on that show. After the show is on the iHeart
Radio app search casey O'Day for of the podcasts Mommy iHeart Radio app. Ah,
right, and welcome everybody. It is he twenty five. I don't
understand this story, so somebody please help me out. This is this is
in a grant immigrant Granville County up in Oxford. This story about a well.
The story starts with a gentleman. His name's Kyle Caldwell, who worked
for the Baltimore Fire Departments. Been twenty eight years there, you know,
is very He tries to do a good job of monitoring some very key potential
health problems. The members of the firefighting community face specific cancers based on the
work that they do, and so he heads in to get himself a sonogram
as part of this this whole cancer journey and look forward and treatment all that,
and he said that he went in to get the sonogram and like the
whole thing just fell off. And the reason it felt off, he says
in the story, is like he obviously has had this done before, and
the person doing it like didn't in his he's not a trained physician, but
he's like, I don't think you know what you're doing. What are you
doing? Have you ever used a sonogram or you ever use an ultrasound?
I should say, so she's performing it. And then four months later he
gets a letter and he found out why the woman, according to the story,
performed that procedure, had gotten the job under an assumed identity, and
it was it's alleged not to be the first time. So in this statement
released by the provider up there in Oxford, Janine Ellis was hired by Granville
Health Systems as a sonographer using an assumed identity and they found it out and
and now they're like, ah, not really had any training. So how
does that work? If I just so, I if I go into one
of the hospitals here telling me do I get a job? Can I just
be like I'm a doctor? And they're like, okay, cool, Uh
yeah, we'll trust you because that's mildly terrifying, right, you know that
reminds me of that reminds me of like the dumb drunk, you know kid
at a at like a college party's like, I'm gonna change my major,
be a guy to college. It's gonna be amazing, right, And that's
what it feels like. And you shouldn't been bolden that they you know,
I'm glad it was this, but it's part of a cancer screening. It's
so important that you dot the i's and cross the t's here. Man,
That's all I'm saying. But yeah, and uh, there's there's a whole
lot more to We'll tweet the story out at Casey on the radio and we'll
be right back. Hang up. Thank you. Casey is on ninety four
five WPTI on the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, good morning, eight thirty six Dcoday Radio program. Yes,
I understand the difference that they didn't just give her the job. She in
the story she said that she was somebody else and then they probably checked that.
Yeah, I get that, But there's also a part of you like,
like, if I want to go hand in, if I want to
hand in the resume of let's go back to Miss America, right, And
it's like, yeah, no, I went to Harvard Medical School, I
was also Miss America, and I'm a second lieutenant in the Air Force.
Right. All of those things are true combined with the name that's on that
piece of paper, But I'm not that person. That's what's just so weird
about that story. And I, you know, maybe not play fast and
loose in the world of healthcare. And I just it's crazy to me.
And I'm glad that this dude's like, yeah, something's off here, because
obviously this is something he's been dealing with. But it's also nice probably in
his mind to be somewhat like vindicated. You know, you got to be
kind of careful with those allegations. I don't think you were a real sonographer.
But I was right. So that's what's crazy to me. And I
made the joke about, oh yeah, you know, looks like a some
drunk frat boy. I don't be a guyn of coologist. By the way,
talk to one first. See I'll tell you what roster's that. There's
a guy there is and he's like a third generation and my son is going
into the field there And I remember, and I knew this dude through like
a group of people that I golf with, and I was I had a
question, right if your grandfather, your father, you and now your kid
are all in a long line and and God bless you doing you know,
good for you, four doctors in a row, the streaks unbroken. But
like I don't I don't know how through my own lens of how those things
normally work out, how that makes that, you know, handing down the
fan, because like here's what I mean by that. I grew up in
a place where there were a lot of a lot of guys I went to
school with who either weren't going to go to college or they were going to
go to an agg program at one of the two years or four years,
but ultimately they were going to come back and they just wanted to They wanted
to ranch. And there's I got no beef with that nothing. Some of
my best friends in high school are now the and and obviously my family members
and my siblings. But that also I was allowed or they were allowed to
gain that interest as kids because they ought to go ranch with their dad.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Like it was it was a it was
a career choice, a lifestyle that was passed down, and it was sold
on the basis of, hey, when I was in you know, when
I was a kid in high school and now was like I really enjoyed doing
this and I learned the tricks of the trade, and like that doesn't work
in that field. And that was kind of my awkward thought process question,
so which I don't know, kind of didn't. I don't say it didn't
go over well, but like I'm like, sorry, that's just how my
brain works. Like how was your take take your kid to work day?
I mean that had to be something different, right versus Hey, we're gonna
go out, We're gonna brand some cattle today. I'm just I have these
questions. Uh, maybe maybe I need more to think about, Like how
the hell this headline makes it out. FBI arrest transgender man who threatened to
kill transphobes by suggesting ties to alt right extremism. And this is, by
the way, this is not one of those headlines where Ross changed it so
he could put the boone big beer in or insult a sports team. That's
the headline. FBI arrests transgender man who threatened to kill transphobes suggest ties to
alt right extremism. So everything is now just alt right extremism. Remember the
dude who plowed over all those people down in Texas And they're like, ah,
it's extreme. Look at that. He mowed down a bunch of brown
people. What a And You're like, I dude looks hispanic too, And
they're like, no, now that's al right. Extremism. Wasn't one of
the shoot wasn't one like a guy who was a mall shooter. Also,
they're like, al right, extremists. This name is like immediately you know
it's Hispanic last name because it's the two names and all that. And look,
I don't understand all the motivations right there. There are people also who
operate in this headspace where they're they deny the own reality of their existence,
like one of our favorite race trolls on Twitter, Sean King, who we
have several names, but talcom x is the one that I think we use
mostly. But how is a transgender man threatened to kill? Transphobe suggests alt
right extremism? All right, well, buckle in for this ride. Federal
prosecutors charged an Oregon man who believes he is a woman from posting to a
trans woman support group that he planned to go out in a blaze of glory.
Elizabeth West, charged with making interstate threats, said he believed he was
about to be fired and was tired of transphobic a holes. I quote,
am too old to keep looking for jobs. I've had it up to hear
being bullied by transphobic transphobes. I have no alternative. I've been preparing for
this moment for a long time. Then I'll be remembered. I have no
family or friends, YadA YadA. All right, I know it still doesn't
It doesn't make sense still, And don't worry. Even though I'm gonna read
this, it still won't. Animosity on the West part to other races.
Here appears to be heavily related to gender ideology. West hatred. Okay,
so why do you think Wes, this transgender woman who was going to go
out and quote kill the transphobes, who also is not a fan of either
black people or Jewish people. Do you think it's because of quote alt right
extremism. Well, the documents go on to point out that quote in the
social media bio, West said identifies as a Nazi dominatrix from Hell who is
tired of the blackening of America and Europe and ready to stand up to the
quote black orcs and Jewish wizards. Hmmm. However, the animosity appears to
be related in the in the case of black individuals, according to court documents,
because West felt that when that black people were more likely to quote misgender.
So there's that. And also other immigrants because and this is again from
the document, because West was upset that an illegal immigrant in Oregon's public health
care plan got a free transgender surgery except and West would would not was not
granted one. So it's a it's a play on they're taking all our jobs,
except this one's they're taking all of our transgender surgeries. The whole thing
is nuts. But the FBI has been monitoring and the Affidavid refers to,
I kid you not their commitment to h rooting out quote far right terror,
white supremacy, and alt right extremism. So the transgender person from Oregon who
decided that they were going to kill transphobes but also didn't like people of color
is because of being misgendered and not getting surgery is alt right? All right,
it's a hell of a read on, you know, the first day
back kind of morning. I'll tell you what. There's a whole lot of
other stuff I don't know that I can read. In addition to a little
bit of an armory, okay, a lot of an armory. Investigators said
they found hand drawings roughly fifty of a transgender superhero wielding a sword. How
did you know? Transgender superhero wielding a sword, stabbing, hanging, mutilating,
and killing individuals who were then referred to with very racist names and descriptions.
But yeah, I don't know about all that, But you know,
FBI, go and FBI. So what are you gonna do? A forty
five raced agic for the weather channels? Here? Oh, man, dude,
do do do? Why? Why are you doing this? Yeah?
I'm just sometimes I read stuff and I'm like Ross changed something or somebody I
mean Ross, but like somebody changed something that can't be the article that's supposed
to accompany that headline. And I'm just every day I'm getting gas lit,
like for the weather. Like I was, I was hopeful. I thought
everything was gonna be nice, and then I having a glance at the seven
day and what do you Yeah, it's you know, basically, once it
starts getting better, it starts getting colder again. We'll get colder here.
I don't know how much warmer we're going to get today. See some rain
showers come across the area. Might be a little sleet, especially triad and
west, but snows are reserved up for the mountains. I saw over foot
up with some of the ski resorts over the last day and a half.
That's where it'll stay. With the advisors in the warnings. The colder air,
believe it or not, is southwest of US right now, pushing through
northern Alabama. North Georgia's Icy Roadways reported uh some areas are already in the
teens and the mid teens at that North Georgia right now up there Chattanooga,
it's seventeen, so I cold airs on the way, if anything. Temperatures
will get to the low forties today and then fall back as we go through
this evening and then overnight we'll wake up in those teens. A little rain
mainly through mid afternoon today, and then the winds will pick up and tomorrow
morning with that breeze, it's gonna feel cold and the cold weather will stick
Tomorrow mid upper thirties. That's it for daytime highs twenties at night, and
then on Thursday more seasonable temperatures mostly Sunday mid upper forties, and then maybe
little rain Thursday night early Friday, and then partly Sunday and fifty Friday afternoon.
We'll see about any frozen precip Friday morning doesn't look like it right now,
but there'll be some precipe around with near freezing temperatures. And then after
Friday, the next starctic air mass will come in teens in twenties Saturday morning,
low to mid thirties for high Saturday, so this air mass might be
a couple degrees colder as the high's gonna be positioned a little further east than
this last one, so the overnight lows may be fifteen ish rather than eighteen
or nineteen for Sunday morning, and then near forty in the afternoon, and
then a slow warm up, then a bigger warm up next week. We
could be maybe in the sixties sometime next week, casey, towards the end
of the week. So yeah, don't do that, no, okay,
just handle your business and then let's get it over with, Okay, all
right, sounds good. All right, man, we'll talk tomorrow. Oh
I checked out that Miss America too, thank you? Yeah, yeah,
right, Madison, yeah, iraculy. Hearing the description of everything she's accomplished,
I'd get exhausted. Yeah, I know, I can't. We're not
worthy. All right, man, have a good one, and Jeff Bellinger
joins us. Next hang on one sixm talk in the Triangles and news Talk
PTI and the Triad. All right, good morning, everybody, welcome back.
And yeah, Tuesday, Monday, so let's go ahead do this.
Jeff Bellinger joining us, And Jeff, what's going on? Then we working
case. Investor's optimism in the stock market is at a three year high,
According to a new fund manager survey from Bank of America. You wouldn't know
that from the futures today. Now futures are down one hundred and thirty points,
so we get ready to start the holiday shortened week. Boeing's problems have
worsened, a source as China's aviation regulator is delaying the start of seven thirty
seven Max deliveries as the aerospace company deals with safety issues. Drizzly, the
alcohol delivery service that Uber has owned for the past three years, is going
away. Axios reports Uber has decided to close Drizzly and focus on its core
Uber Eats business. Apple is prepared to remove a feature from its Series nine
and Ultra two smart watches if a ban on US sales of those devices survives
an appeal. The International Trade Commission sided with Massimo in a patent dispute over
technology that monitors a wearer's blood oxygen level. Apple has decided to remove the
monitoring capability to get around that man if the appeal is upheld and casey History
was made on Thursday night. Comcast says the NFL game between the Miami Dolphins
and Kansas City Chiefs was the most streamed live event in US history. The
game was carried exclusively on the Peacock Network outside of the Miami and Kansas City
markets. Casey, every and everyone is just hating on them too, Like
even like Bill Burr and others were just apple playing and I understand frustration,
but they're like, oh, this is a money grad, we won't do
it. And then mathematically apparently everyone did came up with their six dollars.
That's right. Yeah, So I mean it's not going to go away.
Now. We're in this thing, all right, Jeff, I really appreciate
it. Sorry, you were snowed in this morning. That's why he's on
the phone. So yeah, get getting out now. So if you get
back to the studio tomorrow, you got to get the bills fans to come
dig you out, sir. They're very good. That's good. There you
go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. Yeah, Ross, you guys are
done digging, and you go down and maybe dig Jeff out so you can
come. All right, Well, hold on, let me have a call
here, Yes, story, what's up? I'm sorry? Hold on,
Hey, So I just wanted to call and comment on the lady who thinks
it's a conspiracy that somebody who's activity will competing and pageant. Yeah, I
don't. We got to make something out of nothing. But people in the
military actually have hobbies and interests outside of being in the military. You know,
we have Olympic athletes, we have people who are the third military services
that can play in the NFL. When I was stationed in Wyoming, i
met miss miss Colorado to the missile eer. So not only could you kick
your butt, you have the ability to turn the keys and in the world.
You know, it's just the military is just a a shapshot of what
society is and we have a lot of amazing people on it. Do you
understand my amusement of watching some army dude call her chair force. I find
that I love that part of the military culture. I love the back and
forth man. That funny to me, absolutely absolutely. I mean, you
know, there are the Army, you know, they just hate the fact
that the air forces better people. Oh my, what Yeah, that's weird,
that's so weird. Yeah, I mean, well, the marine's in
the Air Force. But uh, you know the reason why people join air
forces because it's gort hidden up on their asset and have a choice. So
when you're eating crayons and you're what you're aware of it? Right? Since
both? Sorry? Man, I just to figure out, yeah, no,
that was not a thing when I was in the Marines. I came
out after after I switched over to the Air Force. I see, I
see. No, I just I don't And I don't even know if she
was one hundred percent on that. I just like second lieutenant Miss America and
going to Harvard Medical School. I'm just like, oh what else? Yeah,
