And uh, happy Monday, A dependent on where you are, a rather
crazy monday for you, as many many many students added back to school.
And I'm sure everybody's pumped considering I've seen all sorts of stories about bus and
sanity. Well, I'll get some spy reports stories, I'm sure today we
always do. Some districts around North Carolina basically told parents be prepared to be
on your own in some instances. So yeah, and the handouts. We're
in a handout season over the first few days, although arguably it might slow
down a little because where as it it would get a you know, it'd
get a little a little press, maybe we talk about it on the show
or somebody puts something on the internet. There wasn't really an appetite to do
much about it. But now with a series of laws and veto overrides and
examples of teachers in various other states who decided, you know, effort,
I'm gonna I'm gonna ask everybody who they're you know, who they're attracted to,
who they're sleeping with, even though they're, you know, in middle
school. I feel like that may quell some of it, but I still
expect probably a few things here in the first week. So with that being
the case, good luck. It's technic. Everybody's got to change their schedule
to get the kids out the door, so you know we'll be here for
you. Don't change anything on your radio listening. There's still lots of fun
stuff from over the weekend, some sad stuff to talk about. But I
understand it's going to be a little crazy today. Okay, so let me
throw the number out eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
If you get a spare moment you like something we're talking about, by all
means hit us up. Okay, all right, good, got that that
formality out of the way. Ross. I just realized that your first game
of the year, there is a night game for the for the Bills there,
man, Yeah, it's Monday night football. Are you Are you feeling
better about night games? I went back and looked at it. I am
not because I went back and looked at your night games last year and you
did. Okay, I would just prefer my MICUs. I'm super weird.
What is going on? Yeah, I don't know, huh, the ghost
of weekend touch everything? Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, I would
prefer one o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday at Orchard Park. That's just me,
all right, Well, but you know the rule is obviously half the
games are not going to be at home. That being said, you could
do worse for a season opener. You know who you gotta play. I
was just kind of reviewing your schedule. The Vikings. They're going to be
doing their thing, their favorites. I think, what's six and a half
point or something, So we like that, although we have to play Philly
in our own night game week two. But we got you know, we
got a week. Man, we got a weird I shouldn't say a week.
We got what the seventh, right is the first game and that's Chiefs
Lions. I mean, we'll be rocking and rolling this thing a week from
Thursday. And I bring this up because I was reading this story this morning.
So three years ago, the NFL introduced the end racism slogan, and
if you remember, it was right there in the end zone. However,
oh and on the helmets too. However, that's not the case. During
Sunday's Chiefs Brown's preseason game, fans noticed that the slogan was replaced with play
football and that's mirrored in several other parks now as photos emerge. So I
guess I don't know. The NFL I don't think people even notice it anymore,
has just decided, well, we're gonna go with this so and not
even say anything. So I don't know. We may we may get ourselves
a little culture war before the kickoff, but that will be interesting. Is
it in Kansas City or Detroit? Trying to remember where the opener is?
It might be in Detroit because if you're you know, you're opener is going
to be obviously a very very watched game, and if you made that change
there, people will notice it because Twitter is going to Twitter and they're already
talking about it, and who the hell knows. But I haven't paid attention
to the helmets either. I don't know if they changed any of that.
But sometimes preseason and regular season are a little different. So anyway, is
not all about football today. We have to get into the passing of not
just one individual. But I saw that we lost another guy who you'd probably
heard of this morning. I was reading the story about it. So we'll
touch on those. We got paper straw insanity. Olive Garden will make an
appearance because why the hell not? And holy crap with that NASCAR crash.
I tried to sit there and count the number of times it rotated and spun
and then for dude just to pop out and walk away from that was absolutely
amazing. If you haven't seen it, we'll tweet out the video. But
that might be the gnarliest NASCAR crash I have ever seen. Ryan Priests,
the driver oh and Alabama, has irritated some of the anti death penalty activists,
although their argument is I don't understand their argument, but we'll it out
for you. Six fourteen k c O Day radio program Hang on a thank
you. KSE is on nine four five w PTI in the Triad and one
oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back.
It is six nineteen uh here on your Monday morning. So sad news over
the weekend. Bob Barker has passed away ninety nine years old. By the
way, let me save you the joke on the call. I am I
am aware. Ross is aware, and in a moment anyone who is not
who I don't know who that would be if they were on Twitter for five
minutes. He lived as close as you can get to one hundred without going
over. Okay, we got that one. A table was interesting some of
like I didn't know, did you know Vannah White was on Prices right back
in the day before she was doing the the show next Door so to speak.
I watched a video of a college age Vanah White on there by the
way. Damn, let me just say that, but you know this is
she was. She was in in LA She's trying to, you know,
get into something, and there she is, her bubbly self on the Prices
right well before she was a star. So I thought that was cool.
And there were a couple videos of just kind of like interesting Bob Barker moments.
What did they say? What did they say? He did how many
shows? Like what? Yeah? Thousands, literally thousands of shows over the
course of his career. And when did he retire? It feels like he's
been retired forever, turning it over to Drew Carey there and then of course
the Happy Gilmore thing, which was hilarious obviously, so it was it was
fun to revisit it. Did he and I could He never had a scandal
either. I mean I think he missed a putt once or twice on the
show. What I mean, that's the closest he got to a scandal,
so we know, we know he wasn't perfect, But no, I sat
there and looked. I mean, there's like nobody had beef with this dude.
I mean happy did for you know, movie purposes. But in real
life everybody seemed to like him, which is pretty pretty crazy. As there's
a lot of game show hosts that like where there's some little scandal, I
mean, what the family feud, dude, right, But when it comes
to Pat, say Jack and Bob Barker, who else I'm trying to think,
like, you don't have a lot of scandal? There are those didn't
They tried to do something with say Jack, right, because he's kind of
a conservative dude. But that's just you know, standard cancel culture crap.
Like I don't, I never read anything other than just people being babies because
he has an opinion, Alex Trebek, no scandal there. I mean,
those are the trifecta of game show hosts for my generation, my era,
and not just mine but probably most people. Those three, I mean,
those are the big three. And I understand that there were video or excuse
me, video games game shows going back years and years and years, and
then they got away from it because of the scandals there. And that's interesting
in and of itself, But when it comes to game show hosts, I
don't know if you have a bigger three there, who who? Who else
would you put on the same echelon as Bob Barker, Pat say Jack and
Alex Trebek. I saw I saw somebody battling with this. I can't imagine
any to me that, like you're saying, that's the version of like you
know, bird Magic and Jordan right right? Uh somebody. I saw somebody
say Chuck Woolery. I like, look, I like me some Chuck Rowelry.
But no, no, did you ever would you watch Love Connection back?
And I mean when it was on TV, it wasn't like you know,
it's like it wasn't like an appointment TV like I have to see it.
No, my mom liked it. So that was whenever it was on,
that was on. And I admit to being mildly fascinated by it,
especially now that I know a serial killer was on there one time. So
yeah, this is the fun stuff you learn only later on. And what
they did was it? No? Was it love Connection or yeah, I
think it was. It was one of the dating ship. Might have been
the dating game, I don't know. I watched YouTube video about that and
this woman she they they literally matched and we're gonna get to go on another
date, and she's just like, I'm getting a bad vibe from this dude.
She didn't go, which turned out to be a pretty good decision.
Best game, best game on Wheel of Fortune or excuse me, price is
right? Which you got ross? What was your favorite game? I mean,
my favorite is Cliffhangers. I know most people would pick Plinko no,
but I loved at it When that came on when I was a kid,
I was like, Oh, it's gonna be a good time. And you
always wish the guy would fall off the cliff, like you want the best
fort like I want the person to win. I'm sure, like, oh,
I want the car, but at the same point, I want the
dude to go over the cliff. I mean, that's it's a little dark,
don't we have We have that in the system, right we have audio?
Oh, of course we do. Hang on. Hang on, yeah,
I was getting close. Well, you want to go up to the
peak so you can see me all right, he's about halfway there. Oh
no, he's not following the GPS on his phone. God, you gotta
gotta follow the science dude. Oh dah. He didn't need the car anyway,
Lady. I mean it's a whole game where you're rooting for the death
of some thing that's a little dark man. I mean, he's up in
the mountains. At least he didn't like eat somebody. You know, it
could have been like they could have had like a Andy's type what I guess
I'd be too raw for daytime, a little Donner pass thing going on.
So let's just have him fall off the cliff. All right. So ross
like that game, but only to root for a loss. Some games,
Look, there's some games that were I hated. The one game I really
hated was the where they had the numbers and then the person had to like
write them. I hated the check game, and I wasn't a fan of
the check game. Well, and and that game the check game, And
there were two others. Somebody was on a YouTube video was saying that if
you watch where Bob gets a little irritated, it's like three or four games
and those are them. And so the theory was he hated those games,
like he didn't want to be doing them, and like there's there's some stuff
where he's kind of mocking a couple of people who are I think stupid.
The people get up there and they're like super excited, and there's pressure and
there's anxiety, and then you're throwing like math in their face. And sometimes
it might not seem like it's complicated. But when you put everything in a
perspective like that, from the contestant point of view, it might be too
much. Like I don't want to do like you know all this, just
have me switch the prices or whatever, or have the stupid guy will go
up the cliff. But when you want me to balance my checking account live
on TV, it might be too much. Okay, look, I'm partially
with you. But what I'm talking about is like they're you know, it'll
be like a recliner, right, so there's three numbers or there's four numbers
or whatever, and they have to figure it out and they have they think
a recliner costs fifty bucks. Do you know what I'm saying. It's not
it's not that they're a little struggling on the math. They lose all concept
of what things cost. Now. Granted, some of the really high stuff
is now what stuff costs. If you look at video from fifteen years ago,
which is deeply ironic, they had a lady who was pricing a cart
like eighty thousand dollars on the one video I watched, and this was in
the ninth right, like some people are oblivious to with things costs. And
you're thinking, if you're going on the prices, right, you should probably
know, you know the things sugar costs or whatever. The Honda or the
Hunda is not eighty thousand. Yes, I would think that that would People
were, Okay, well that's good, send me some of your other host
stuff, all right, And I said it if Bob Barker was not the
only one. A guy passed away very young from cancer. You'll know who
he is. I'll tell you about it next hang out, keeping you connected.
This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM
Talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning, and uh welcome six
thirty five. We were chatting a little about the passing of Bob Barker passed
away over the weekend, ninety nine years old. A lot of a lot
of good little videos and memory stuff I saw on YouTube, a lot of
things I didn't know and like. He literally, even after he retired,
had a list of things they weren't allowed to give away that they could never
give away because obviously he was, you know, spaying new to your pet
sky right, and so they couldn't give away cars with any leather in them,
leather jackets, fur coats. He had quite a few things. For
a long time, he only allowed American automobiles. But you know what I
never saw. I never saw a I never saw Bob Barker scandal. And
then I started thinking, in the world of game show hosts, it was
Barker and say Jack and Trebec. Those are even though they were hosts obviously
for other things you had family feud, you know, Regis Philbin obviously hosted
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for a lot of years. Steve Harvey did
a few other Those three stand out above and beyond all of the rest for
the modern generation. Or maybe you think I'm forgetting somebody, Let me grab
a quick call and then I'll tell you about one other person who sadly passed
away over the weekend. Dennis, what's up? Hey? Right? Yeah,
other somebody touched Ross's equipment, so everything first off, rest of peace,
mister Bob Barker, what about well again, this is this is more
modern generation. When was the last time Money Hall was on TV? Though?
He was let's make it well, no, no, no, I'm
I'm I'm I'm familiar with that. But that really doesn't that doesn't creep into
my era, the modern era. So you're still well a little bit,
yeah, you know, but you know, when you think about the game
show hosts of the modern era, those three or I don't know that anyone
else is on that list. Man, I think I agree with you.
I don't think Drew Carry is up there. That quite there, But I
got I got no beef with Drew Carey. But was what was so weird
was seeing Drew Carey when he took over the skinny Drew Carey. I remember
that was absolutely shocking, man, Yeah, she was all Drew Carry.
Also did uh what's hill? I was my lie? Anyway that their show
was Oh yeah, well that's I don't see that as a game show.
But that was a hilarious transferred from doing this to anyway, did it's like
well wet with a different direction. Yeah, that was such a great show.
Yeah, in a way that I thought y'all have great all right,
you too, man, thank you? Yeah. Well, and and obviously
we're not ignoring that the weather stuff that's going on. We'll be chatting with
brace Stagic obviously, uh coming up a couple of times during the show.
So I can't believe Bob Barker was mauled to death by a neutered pit bull?
Is that that's what happened? Right? So not the Gandhi of pitbulls,
not the Gandhi of pitbulls. Maybe it was a pit bull they were
attempting to neuter. It's possible, right, I don't know. And it's
not pit bull, it's pibble. Remember I got corrected last time I did
a pitbull thing. Did that ever catch on? And again, we're not
talking about your pitbull. Your pit bull is amazing volunteers with the Orphans,
right, your pit bull to not maul Bob Barker to death. So just
calm down, So talk about the other ones, Okay, try to save
the calls there, all right, So here we go. I mentioned somebody
else passed away way too soon. Just forty nine from pancreatic cancer. Joe
Whirls, Will Whirls, Worzel Baker trying really hard not to butcher that name.
You don't maybe you don't know his last name and instead you know him
as Joe the Plumber. That sound familiar, right, Yeah. The forty
nine year old passed away from pancreatic cancer. He became well known during the
eight presidential campaign after confronting former President Obama about whether or not his tax plan
would end up costing a more a spoiler, it did. Let's see,
I'm trying to think they have the story here. They don't say a lot
what he was up to. Worselbacher a military vet who became a plumber in
Salito, Ohio, where he confronted Obama and was frequently mentioned during the debates
between Obama and John McCain. He had been receiving medical treatment at ann Arbor
VA Hospital in Michigan. But sounds like it came on pretty quick. I
mean he was what was this December? Yeah, last December he finally went
after dealing with stomach issues for months and by then, Yeah, really,
when you're talking about the pancreas, there's there's not much they can do.
Stage three at the time of his diagnosis leaves behind a wife and three kids.
So I would encourage you not to look up the social media treatment he's
getting. But that's you know, that's not altogether unexpected, isn't because a
lot of horrible people? All right? So? Who was? Did you
figure out who the third one was? Your? Your? Your wife mentioned
since we do the thing in threes, we were talking about this right before
the show and then the show started. Was there a third one that I
missed? I don't want to leave somebody out and get no. I think
she was a wonder who the third was going to be? Oh? Okay,
alright, alright, alright, huh and you mentioned the wrastlers from last
week. I don't know. I don't know. We'll keep an eye to
the to the hashtags on the Twitter. All right. I love this story.
I am so excited about this story. I want. I want to
watch this like it's the SIMS game from back in the day, SIMS City.
I want. I am so excited that a bunch of moonbats, bunch
of Silicon Valley investors have decided to waste at least well so far, eight
hundred million. This will be in the billions. And when you hear the
lineup of the folks involved, including people like Read Hoffman. If you don't
know who, Read Hoffman is co founder of linked In, and the guy
who was funding the various lawsuits against Donald Trump, and a guy who was
funding a smear campaign going back to the Alabama Senate race where he decided to
push disinformation implying that the Senate candidate, the Republican, was in fact working
with Russia, and it turned out to all bbs. You'll note that he
was not charged with anything. He did a little mia culpa and that was
it. But he fundamentally screwed with a Senate race. So it's him and
his buddies and they've decided they're going to do it. They are going to
create the utopia they've always dreamed of. Wait for this. I'll give you
details coming up next on the k c O Day radio program. This is
one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and there's Talk ninety four five
WPTI in the Triad. All right, welcome six fifty c O Day Radio
program. Silicon Valley elites revealed as buyers of eight hundred million dollars worth of
land. They say they're going to build a utopian city off you know,
it's crazy, is it's not going to be one of these fifteen minutes cities
though from how they're describing it. So the purchase, let's see, fifty
five thousand acres. This is northern California. This is near travel is Air
Force Base. I guess if you know where that is. What's the town
nearest? Is it Fairfield, Califia. It's Fairfield, California, which currently
has one hundred and twenty thousand residents. But this is going to be its
own thing. And I am super excited because the laundry list of investors is
just tech moonbat insanity. Let's see here. The goal is to build a
utopian town that will offer its thousands of residents reliable public transit, urban living,
all using clean energy. The land has been over the past five years
slowly acquired, and now they feel they got enough to go ahead and get
rolling on this, paying roughly eight hundred million dollars. They're going to have
to put some stuff on voter ballots basically to get the zoning and for the
county to allow this. The project would include a new city with tens of
thousands of new homes, a large solar energy farm, orchards with a million
new trees, and over ten thousand acres of new parks in open space.
That's what the voting description things says. According to the newspaper, there they're
gonna have to go through all this, all right, So they're gonna go
there, They're gonna build their utopia. You know, it's just it hasn't
been tried correctly before. I'm assuming you know, there are examples where people
have attempted to do this and it either never got off the ground or it
went really horribly wrong. So you're saying there's examples where people try to build
the perfect society and the utopia historically through history. Yeah, yeah, I
thinking of I could think of a pretty well known one and it goes pretty
well. Right. Well, it was in the US, but then they
they they moved it to French. Guyana, are you familiar with this beautiful
this time of year? Oh yes, no, very nice little little plot
of land. Everything was going fine, and then they got some bad kool
aid or something. I don't know. Okay, this thing's gonna have a
gate, right, let's be straight up here, right, You're there's no
way in hell that this is just because if not every homeless person would migrate
over there, right they of course they'd be. There's fields full of community
food. Man got open space. You're not all clustered with the other hobos
pooping in the streets. In fact, I dubbed it pooped Topia just when
Ross and I were just kind of joking off the off the air. But
they're gonna have to do something right, which, of course will look incredibly
hypocritical, in the same way that you're seeing mayors and governors flying off the
handle because they decided that they were sanctuary cities, but they didn't mean actually
come here for sanctuary. So one, they're gonna have sec They're gonna have
to have security on this right, of course they are. I wouldn't be
surprised if if they like somehow went to the extreme and like, oh,
we've created force field technology, you know, for the safety of the people
inside our building. Oh please stay away all you poores. Well that's the
other thing too, they'll find a way to keep the pores out. Yeah,
I don't think you're gonna have pores before they eat themselves. Why is
everything turning cannibal for you this morning? Dude? It's Monday. Yeah,
no, I feel that. But so that that will be one thing obviously
you're gonna have to figure out, you know, because you need people a
staff this stuff too, even if they can't afford to live in the town.
This is this is the big problem that municipalities run into is whether that
are really really expensive. They literally getting people to be able to work the
jobs necessary to do this is not easy, and they're moving this thing quite
a bit further away from major population centers. I'll give you an example like
Breckenridge, Colorado. Up there. If you if you're ever skiing out in
Breckenridge or Veil, pick up the Summit summ At Times or Summit Express,
whatever the newspaper it's Summits something, and go look at the help wanted.
There's people paying more money than you know. People with master's degrees make to
work at McDonald's because they have to. They simply the people can't afford to
live there. So you have to incentivize people to come from other towns where
they can't afford to live. So in that case are coming from Kremlin and
Leadville and you know, other areas, but not living in that general area,
and so it becomes incredibly expensive. Also, what do you think the
political diversity, because of course diversity is going to be part of this,
what do you think the political diversity will be. You think it'll be a
nice fifty fifty split left the right, or maybe you know thirty thirty and
thirty or thirty three thirty three thirty three gets some independence in there. Now,
dude, this will be this will be moonbat Utopia in their minds.
And maybe at the start, but remember Disney wasn't able to do this.
Remember Disney was creating their whole thing there. It was going to be the
Disney City. And while they did build homes and there are people who lived
there, it never really came to fruition. The only big example that I
can think of where the somebody said I'm going to start a city from scratch
was the Villages down in Florida. That thing is where it is now versus
where it's it's It's incredible because there was nothing there. But it's not based
on Utopia or any of the rest. It essentially was just doing a project
so large it was like the expansion of a suburb, and you know they
have golf courses. They have that, and obviously they have some age restrictions.
But they're not doing the political stuff. They're not going crazy on all
of the tech, which will be ungodly expensive. They set out to create
something that had all the things that retired people want, including a crap ton
of other retired people to hang out with, play golf with, do a
book club, do key parties. Apparently, judging by some of the std
stuff we see out of there, but that that's what they set out to
do. This. On the other hand, yes, as somebody just put
it has Mosquito Coast written all over it. I just demand we get to
watch this. At least they built it like away from people, right because
like if I'm here now, like say, I'm in like wake Forest,
and like the leaders are like, hey, we're gonna build a utopia,
I'm like, I'm out, but I'm out, Like it's just build your
utopia a way for me because eventually it's all it's gonna burned out. No,
Paul and the tax I can't even imagine the taxes on all this stuff.
But hey, they got giant piles of money. This is what they
want to do, then so be it. But we'll be paying attention and
yes, for our own sick amusement. You are correct, all right?
Music? You know one other one other thing too. As I sit here
and ponder exactly what this utopian city, maybe it'll be full of busy bodies.
I mean, that's that is undeniable. And I have to assume it
will be the evilest hway ever to exist. I mean, it's got it.
You know that there's going to be an HLA component, There'll be some
sort of management component, and stepping out of line is not to be tolerated.
And I just I have this vision that it's filled with all of those
people who are the social justice keyboard warriors, and and I don't just mean
a healthy dose of them, like the whole thing. So like somebody I
don't know holds a door or doesn't hold a door, or because you know,
you get you can get in trouble and praise for the same stuff literally
on the same day. It changes so quickly. Somebody, doesn't you use
a proper pronoun, They will tear your life apart. I bet Rossa,
I bet they don't even have an olive garden in there. Oh my god.
I can't imagine, because you know, they're not going to put up
with, you know, chain stuff. Let's just be on, I mean
chain stuff. Come on. It's authentic Italian cuisine. The chefs are trained
in Tuscany, yes, but it is. There are still multiple locations.
People online were pointing out to me that it was like originally created by General
Mills, and they're like, had to explained that, and I'm like,
well, that's General Mills. He fought over in World War Two, his
greatest generation. He brought that back from Italy, the whole family thing and
the Italian food. So after Mills, a short fell for Milistani Milanastani.
Did you just make that up? I don't know, Okay, all right,
by the way, do you think anyone was actually fooled by these newlyweds
in Nashville. There's no way. Okay. So for those of you don't
know, some couple decided that they were going to do their engagement photos right
because you know, that's that's now an extra thing you got to go spend
a crap ton of money on. So they they talked to this photographer.
It's it's near Nashville, in Nashville, somewhere in Tennessee anyway. So they
talked to this photographer and the photographer said he's got an idea that he's wanted
a couple to use and he ran a buy him and they said yes,
So what did he do? They went to an olive garden and then very
strategically posed in front of the olive garden where you couldn't see any of the
signage and really you couldn't see anything around it, in an effort to make
it look like they went and had photos done in Tuscany because of the architecture
around the building. And they were on I can't remember which one of the
morning shows, the Woe with Michael Strayham, and and by the way,
the show ended up giving them an actual trip to Italy, so it worked
out. But they said, like people were fooled by that. Who are
those people? There's no way. It looks like they're in a parking lot
of an olive garden and they're they're in front of it, their holding hands
and they're taking their photos. But it looks like they're outside and olive garden,
right, it doesn't look like Italy. Well, look there's a lot
of dumb people on the internet, I guess because the whole thing went viral,
and uh, for the most part, it's positive. But I don't
think you were fooling anyone. No, I think it's funny. Like if
I were to say, I would be like, that's funny. I laugh
a little giggle, But I wouldn't be like, they're over there, you
know, do you feel like you missed out? It's I think it's a
funny idea. I think it's a great idea. I just don't think it
looks like they're they're actually in Italy. Yeah, so Olive Garden along with
GMA, I guess gave him a trip to Italy, so they're gonna actually
get to go, so it you know, it's a brilliant shakedown on their
part. But I don't know, man, you know what, maybe just
own it. Just be like, you know, you ever see that you
see those weddings, like they get married at at a waffle house every year,
there's one of those stories. I think they incentivize around Valentine's stayed for
that. Just own it, Like we love Olive Garden so much we decided
to do our photos there We're gonna have them cater the wed right, and
why wouldn't you love it? Well, I don't know if that's wedding cater
stuff, but you know, I mean it's top tier food. I okay,
I understand that. I'm just saying traditionally, I've never been to a
wedding where Olive Garden cater did. I'm not lying to you if I cause
you know how I feel about weddings anyway, And I don't want to go
to your wedding. I don't want to be in your wedding. If you
ask me, I'll probably do it, but I don't want to be there.
But if I showed up at your wedding and it was you know,
it's time for the food we're gonna eat, and there was just a line
of Olive Garden, I would be in heaven. This is the greatest wedding
I've ever been to. What do you can you imagine? Just a big
tower meatballs from Olive Garden. It's the greatest thing ever. They're giving bread
sticks out there in the ceremony. Instead of throwing rice, they're tossing bread
sticks. Oh, it'd be amazing. Yeah, what was what I went
to a wedding in Minnesota and it was I'm trying to remember, oh it
was. It was catered by do you know the Italian chain Buca to Beppo.
Yeah, you go there and it's just like they put this stuff on
the table. It's like the meat balls there like as big as your head.
Yeah, I've they don't have one that I've ever seen around these North
Carolina Maybe they have one in Charlotte, I don't know. They had one
in Minneapolis, and I went to a wedding and they catered it, and
like a couple of the women were sitting around and they're like, you know,
they're judging, and I'm just like, this is amazing. So but
they didn't do all of it. I can't remember what the deal was.
But when I found out that's what it was, I was very excited about.
I mean, who cares. I mean, you're judging somebody because of
you know what they're serving. People spend way too much money on their weddings
and their receptions anyway, right in my personal opinion, they should be spending
that money in the actual marriage or their house or things they actually need.
It's such a waste of money, Like a hinge Markie and we've been married
seventeen years. We spent five hundred bucks on our wedding. Really, yeah,
where'd you guys? Did you do it? We did Hunter family's property
in Tennessee. We were married by her grandfather who passed away a week later.
He was he was a pastor. It was a big family event.
My best friend old roommate from Omaha, a Salt Lake came by. Who's
the dj five hundred bucks? He put it together in a week beautiful,
but no Olive Garden, not at the time. If it was possible,
though, it would have been like the Pinnacola weddings. Maybe you get if
you guys ever decided to do the you know, do it over again?
Right? Yeah, the re up or whatever it is. Dude, you
gotta go Olive Garden, all right? Hold on, let me grab a
call here real quick. Yeah, Sam, what's up? My wedding photographs
were in front of a waffle house at midnight. But I I'm sorry for
this utopian city when they start hand selecting certain type of citizens who could get
in and who can't? You know where that leads. But I have a
complete solution. It's completely original novel do you need the liaison. You know,
what do you mean the liaison? It would be Matt Damon in a
robotically enhanced exoskeleton suit and you send him over in a craft and land to
just have, you know, deliberations, a little talks. What was that
movie I'm trying to remember the name of that movie was, Oh, this
is an original idea? Sorry? Oh yeah, well of course, sir,
but yeah, what was that movie? Let's se him? How do
you however your pronounce it? Yeah, ALYSI him or whatever it was.
Yeah, dude, it's the greatest. But you know what, sir,
that is probably a very accurate Uh, that is probably an very accurate prediction
at least how Ross and I are wondering how this thing's going to turn out.
The flation process will be interesting. Ohing is hip hypocritical to the matter,
thanks for the Calders or the amount of hypocrisy that will be involved.
It's going to be amazing. But yeah, now that's a very good example,
right, you got all the pores, got the undesirables. Meanwhile,
they're on a big space amazing thing where they got the what is it?
They got a machine where it's just like, oh, you have cancer.
Now you don't, right, that was the whole premise, right, was
the medical thing they were wanting to get up there to use the medical devices.
Yeah, yeah, no, I think that's a that's a pretty accurate
thought or representation of what I'm thinking. So all right, seven fifteen casey
O Day Radio Program. Let's see here, Oh, paper straws, they
probably I wonder if the paper straws by the time they get it all together.
And Alabama, what is Alabama up to? Oh and wait till you
heard how much money Trump made over the mug shot this weekend. It's bonkers.
And it's next Hang on smart Talk all day, w p TI in
the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right,
welcome back. It is seven twenty two here on the case O Day Radio
Program. How could I have forgotten about that? Oh? Man, I
remember? Yeah, here we go Seoul City. Several of you have called
up and mentioned this. So this was this was a little different than what
they're trying, but it was meant to be a utopia though it was.
It was a race. It was racial, right, so you had a
lot of a lot of folks that were doing this too. Let's see here.
Yeah, here's the article I read back in the day from the Atlantic
civil rights leader Floyd mkiss. They hope to create a let's see here.
Well, this is poorly written. Civil rights leader Floyd mckiss, they hope
to create a utopia. When he arrived in North Carolina in nineteen sixty nine
with dreams of transforming an old slave plantation into a new city an hour north
of Raleigh. The city would be dedicated to black economic empowerment. Mkissic envisioned
bringing money and opportunity to an area left behind by the modern economy. Initial
projections, let's see that by the year two thousand, it would have twenty
four thousand jobs, roughly fifty thousand people. Literally, none of this came
to fruition. There was a whole lot of background, which I don't have
time to get into here on the show, but I encourage you to google
it if you're interested. After ten years, when the development finally stopped,
there were just one hundred and thirty five jobs in one hundred and twenty four
full time residents. Now it's it's very ghost towny, but there's some signage
and there's some stuff. If you do want to go up there and go
check it out. But yeah, man, that was that was going to
be the utopia, and there were a whole lot of hurdles there, and
there was some shenanigans, and I encourage you to go and read about it.
This is going to be a little different in the sense that they have
a crap ton of money. The people who are funding this. Spending eight
hundred million to buy the land is nothing. There's everyone's billionaire, multi multibillionaire
who's involved in this. Okay, So if they're willing to throw the cash
at it, sure they can keep this thing rolling. I mean, you
know what it reminds me of. It just reminds me of some of the
larger versions of the various campuses for the social media companies. Right. You
know, you watch those videos like a day in the life of being a
project manager for Facebook, right, and it's some you know, twenty four
year old twenty five year old girl and ross. What do you think when
when you watch those videos? What is there maybe an hour and a half
where it seems like they're actually working during the day. The rest is yoga
rooms, free food parties, afternoon cocktails, all that which which is amazing,
and you're still you're still getting paid for it. But so they have
a lot of money to throw at it. Well, when they see something
like this, I imagine there's not going to be a lot of production there,
right, There'll be a lot of importing of what they actually need to
survive. Yeah, I was the farmland that they bought is not good farmland.
So I think it's the soil is what's considered very marginal soil. So
while they may get away with some orchards and stuff, a lot of the
stuff they're gonna have to get from elsewhere. But let's see here, all
right. Well, look, you can look up the Soul City. You
can look up all that stuff on your own. Check that out. We'll
keep an eye on what's going on there. So the state of Alabama may
become the first state to execute a prisoner by using pure nitrogen. By the
way, the dude they're wanting to kill is a guy who they attempted to
execute last year, but they couldn't find a vein. They couldn't get a
vein set. And I'm not saying that that is something that some death row
inmates may attempt to make difficult, but he was one of two men convicted
in a nineteen eighty eight murder for higher he killed a preacher's wife. Okay,
so that's that's why he's there. I know it got left out of
some of the stories. However, there is there is some concern as it
is, it is something that is legal in multiple states but as yet to
be utilized. But basically the way it works is you you force nitrogen hypoxia,
so if they only breathing nitrogen there's no oxygen, they pass out and
then they die. That's it, which you know, for executing, that's
that's that's good because that's what you're going for. However, it's not good
for the activists Angie Sets or a senior attorney with Equal Justice Initiative. I
remember, these are the same cats who, rather than just going and appealing
to the public and getting the laws changed, have done things behind the scenes
to essentially put pharmaceutical companies in positions where they're threatening to ruin them over supplying
the drugs that are used. Right, it's very it's it's very it's a
very dishonest way to go about this, rather than having a debate and recognizing
that the majority of the population in many of these states is firmly behind the
depth pedal, whether you agree or not, but she's concerned that it is
experimental, it's unproven, and the subject will not have dignity and instead be
forced to suck nitrogen, pass out and die. Yes, that's that's that's
what they're doing. One oh six one at them talk five PTI, two
stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning
News. All right, welcome back, good morning. It is seven thirty
five. I have read I've got two different articles here on this Alabama thing
how they want to use nitrogen hypoxia, and it wasn't something they just thought
of. Apparently, according to the report here, the state has been working
on the protocols literally for years to use this as a execution method, and
they've also worked in conjunction with multiple other states. And then I'm looking at,
you know, some of the people who are opposed to it, and
that's fine whatever, Angie setser. No state in the country is executed a
person using this. This is without dignity. This is human experimenting the individual.
The individual being put to death will be forcibly passed out deprived of oxygen
and eventually, yes, that's the goal. Right if if if there,
if you had some research, you're like, and then like one and four
gets superpowers, then I, you know, I'd be like, well,
that doesn't sound like that's going to accomplish what they wanted to accomplish, and
could end horribly because you're dealing with, you know, murderers. You don't
want them to have superpowers. You see, you've probably seen what happens,
but it's it's not an unknown thing here. And so the fact that they've
been working on it for years and they've largely had their hand force by activists
going after pharmaceutical companies who don't really make any money off this stuff. Right,
so there's a very limited amount of crap that they're willing to put up
with. And that's if you're not dealing with board members who are activists themselves.
But you know, between lawsuits, nuisance suits, people picketing, people
attempting to financially hurt them in other aspects of their business, a lot of
these companies just went, we're not selling this stuff to you government, We're
not going to do it. And when you can't win the argument from a
legal perspective. That's apparently how you go about it. Right there. The
Attorney General of Alabama's court filing did not disclose the details of how the execution
would be carried out. Let's see here, just so we're clear. The
other man who was who was paid by the husband who committed suicide. Once
they started looking into this, he was executed in twenty ten. This dude's
been since nineteen eighty. It was at thirty five years. Yeah, yeah,
I feel like maybe it's time. All right, let me grab a
call. Oh, we got hold on Bill. What's up, Hey,
sir? You were talking about Seoul City. I was talking about this utopian
city that they want to build out the tech people want to build out there,
and somebody mentioned that it would be a little different because you know,
Seul City was funded a large part of it was funded by the Nixon administration.
They gave a bunch of a bunch of Yeah, this is a bunch
of board billionaires. So yeah, my grandfather and my uncles and all,
they were involved with starting Columbia, Maryland and between Washington, DC and Baliborne.
And this was what they used, as they are example, to build
the new city here. In North Carolina, and so they sent teams up
there and they did all this evaluation. They had the federal government come in
and I remember my grandfather's a young boy, we were growing up, and
he said, it will never work. They didn't have the infrastructure, didn't
have anything that Columbia had in order to build a city like that, and
it just turned into a boonboggle. They hooked there was going to be a
you know, a field of dreams, and it turned into nothing. And
I think the big building down there was supposed to be there, whatever it
was, they turned it into a prison there in Warren County, or I
thought of Warrenton. Yeah, there's, like I said, there's there's a
whole bunch on this, And of course, depending on which thing you're reading,
you get a lot of different perspectives on what the troubles were. The
Atlantics decided that Jesse Helms killed it, which is not I don't think that
that's accurate. He was outspoken against it, though, referring to it as
a boondoggle, as you just said. But no, there was there was
a lot of things, and the Washington Post at the time decided it was
because there weren't enough white people involved, and I'm like, what how many
is the appropriate number if you're attempting to build what is essentially a racially segregated
city. Look, I can't imagine how dicey a conversation. This was back
in seventy two or seventy one when they got started. But well they were
they were also going to build. They were planning on being trailers in Well,
they had about one hundred residents. They did build a medical center,
pave some roads, but over the course of ten years, the equivalent of
I think it's like today's dollars would be like eighty some million was spent of
federal dollars to support about one hundred and thirty individuals, and they couldn't make
it work. You divide eighty some million dollars in today's dollars between one hundred
and thirty individuals. People are going to be living a nice life, right,
you can make that work man, a little bit of investment knowledge,
so the whole thing. Also, I think Columbia created the Howard County Miryland
became one of the fifth wealthiest counties in the United States press in the world.
Well, you got rest in Virginia that was part of the project the
Woodlands and Texas. The different the difference was, and they did a project
in Minneapolis at the same time they funded Soul City. They funded a bunch
of other stuff. The difference was this was the only one where they were
creating something from nothing that wasn't near anything. So it was remarkably different than
what they were attempting in other places. And it's pretty helpful to be surrounded
or sandwich between two major metros, is you know, between Baltimore and DC
versus an hour outside of Raleigh. So but absolutely, yeah, and uh,
we'll see all right, thanks for the call there, appreciate it.
Again. There's some differences here. That's that's the point that I'm making.
You got a few differences, all right. We got lots of good is
mister stagic. They're already is uh, there's a crap ton of weather stuff
we got to get into, all right. I was gonna check there real
quick. Good to go, all right, yeah, man, oh boy,
here we go. So Florida, they're already doing their thing. We
got we got we got our own weather stuff we're dealing with already in North
Carolina. Not to mention the potential path for the remnants of something like this.
So where are we at right now, sir? All right, Well,
anything we get today tomorrow, least in through part of tomorrow night is
not getting even make case into Wednesday. Associated with stationary front, and in
around that front, we've seen some heavier showers thundershowers north of the Triad and
scattered showers and thunderstorms will stay in the forecast through midweek. Not related to
Dalia, which is currently a tropical storm of winds at sixty five miles per
hour getting ready to pass here in the next twelve to twenty four hours west
of Cuba with heavy rain and strong winds, and then going to make a
run at the Big Bend area northwest of Tampa at least that's the center or
where the center's forecast to pass case as a major hurricane. Now, if
you don't know what that means for this part of the country, it is
one of the most prone areas to storm surge and surge flooding. That's indunation
inlet, which could be anywhere from four to seven feet around Tampa Bay,
and it could be higher that around Cedar Key where the center comes in or
closer to the northeast side of that center could be maybe nine to eleven feet,
so there could be a fairly impactful water rise there, and then it'll
come across southeast Georgia. I'll try to get back out over open water,
maybe even as a strong tropical storm, because it starts to impact the beaches
of South and North Carolina probably as we get into Wednesday, especially Thursday Friday
of this week, so deteriorating conditions mid to late week. Now as we
get further inland, probably going to be some limited impacts from about the triangle
east and south of that, depending on exactly what direction on the storm take.
Go a little further west, obviously more impacts. If it goes further
east, they'll be less, but try it and further west, probably limited
to no direct impacts from whatever we have. Adalia is going to be likely
a tropical storm, but out near the coast, if it's your beach week,
I think get it in early because late week it's gonna be it's gonna
be rough out there. Yeah. Actually today is the first day of school
for a big, big chunk of the here in the state, so beach
season is no moss. But yeah, you know, the out of staters
maybe you know, if there's still people traveling and you have some wet weather
too. Glad you had mentioned that because of this morning around the Triad to
get north of Greensborough Winston Sam, there's some heavier rain up Rockingham at Stokes
County too, and that's all drifting east. If you're not yet into Caswell
County, it will be another person Person County that may be where we start
to see some of this rain. So I think each day this week we
should prep for some shallers thunderstorms to be scattered around along this front, and
they won't have a bias towards the afternoon hours, so at any time.
But I think really should go east and south later in the week as impacts
from our weakening hurricane at the time. Most likely by the time it gets
closer to us, it'll be a tropical storm and then weekend and go out
to sea later in the week. Okay, all right, well appreciate it.
We'll chatt in all r right, So I'm forty five. That's Race
Stagic from the Weather Channel. All right, Uh, what's the latest home
appliance The Biden administration wants to come out ross you're gonna hate this because this
will directly impact you because I know, I know you use these, but
it'll impact most of us. And uh, it's you know, it's for
your own good, just like the straws, the paper straws. In fact,
I'll put those two stories together. We get some calls as well.
It's all coming up case O Day Radio program, Your Day Smarter one oh
six one a them talk and news Talk nine four five w PTI more with
Case starts now. All right, good morning and welcome back. It is
seven fifty one. Oh dude, you know, I'll tell you who's got
to be taking this next piece of news hard is you remember straw cop?
Remember straw comp straw cop? All right, So this was a dude they
did a profile on when Washington, DC did away with plastic straws, and
they literally had this dude who was He was basically the division of the police
and it was his job to go around and do undercover surveillance of restaurants to
make sure they were not using plastic straws. And they wrote this big piece
on him like you know, here he is, you know, he's some
gunslinger sent him to to tame some Western Cowtown. It was just it was
so over the top and we had fun with it. Well, here's the
problem. A new study reveals that the thought to be eco friendly alternative to
plastic straws straws made of paper, not just paper, also bamboo, the
typical alternative ingredients actually contain toxic chemicals that could harm people in the environment.
Oh nos. According to study, paper straws contained polyp fast I'm not going
to be able to pronounce all of that, which are basically long lasting,
potentially destructive to human health if there's too much exposure. The chemicals are found
in the majority of paper and bamboo straws that scientists tested. Doctor themo Grofen
what a name says. Straws made from plant based materials such as paper and
bamboo are often advertised as more sustainable. However, the presence of the pfas
is in the straws mean that's not true. The team looked at thirty nine
different straw brands made out of five materials, paper, bamboo, glass,
stainless steel, and plastic. Out of all the straws, stud the p
fasts or whatever we're found to be present in almost all types of straws,
but primarily concentrated in plant based materials or general You know the ones that they
give you now when you go out to a lot of places like stainless steel
glass straws are not what they're given out. They're given the bamboo, they're
given the paper ones. And do you know why they're adding chemicals to them
because they suck? What happens when you put a paper straw in a drink
and then want to reuse it again, It don't work right, That things
fallen apart. So they've they've attempted to make them a little more durable,
and how they're doing it is basically adding backs other stuff that they object to.
The chemicals are used to produce water resistant products, such as in food
packaging, water resistant fabrics, and have limited use in cookware. However,
the difference is you're literally putting your mouth on it and ingesting it. Right,
So you may put it on like a jacket, a rain jacket,
right, Okay, Well you're not literally mixing that with water and then ingesting
it with the straw's yard. Ah, I could have totally predicted this.
The calls for the bands. The calls for the band stemmed from fears the
straws would end up in the ocean and harm wildlife such as sea turtles,
And initially started with businesses at Starbucks, but it then became government policy in
many places. Do you remember too, there was like what was there like
a ten year old who did a school project that they were floating around as
a reason for this, that was the reason behind all of it. Yeah,
it was like some kids school project, which by the way, didn't
turn out to be very accurate. No, it was completely like backwards and
wrong. But that was that's what it started. All this crazy stuff was
kids school project, and they picked it up and said, oh look at
this and the and don't forget the straw island floating around the size of two
Texas is remember remember the as some guy you vented like a yeah, the
floating garbage heap of straws yea, yea, and the Pacific or whatever that.
Don't get me wrong. No, look, I will say this,
there is an awful lot of plastics that does make its way to the ocean.
Do you know where the majority of all that comes from? This is
exactly what I was going to get out. Do you know where country or
what part of the world that comes from because you're like, oh, it's
as the States obviously the East coast, that's what it is, because we're
spoiled and we're all materialism and all that. Now, the majority of all
that crap, it's like a huge percentage of it. It's like way over
fifty percent. I can't remember the exact number. It all comes out of
China and Indian yep. China, Indian Africa yep, yep, yep.
And you know who's not reducing any of their emissions and doesn't care. But
we'll continue. But we'll continue selling the batteries to us, the lithium which
they own like a major you know, like all of it. China,
well, I mean they're developing, so they can't they can't abide by this
stuff. So we're going to keep us in those gas guzzling cars because they're
efficient in the fuel. But you guys are stupid, So we're going to
keep producing and making the batteries for you because you're gonna give us the money
for it. Yeah. To Ross's point, and when you look at it
on a country by country basis, the US is what they're estimated. And
by the way, I suspect that it's overestimated what the US actually puts in
there because and it's still minute, it's it's next to nothing. And as
with more advanced countries, because we have proper sewage, it's it's not it's
not as though it's zero. But the things that mainly contribute to this is
they don't have waste programs, they don't have capture programs, they don't have
forget the recycling side of it. They simply people just throw stuff in a
ditch. The ditch flows to the river, the river flows to the ocean,
and then that's the end of it. And it is tons and tons
and tons of this stuff. It's so stupid too. We can keep we
can continue to regulate ourselves into oblivion right to save to quote save the environment,
which really isn't doing anything. But it's not gonna matter even if we
do right, even if we take it to the extreme, because China and
India they don't care. Well, the irony is we were already doing a
very good job right, like a major percentage of it in the world,
like we are the ones that do it. The rest of the world is
not. So whatever we does, it doesn't matter because they're not contributing and
now the solution because it was the stuff sucks so much that they had to
add waterproofing chemicals to it. Again, totally predictable. It's so dumb.
All right, Well, there you go. That's I got two stories and
we'll start with that one and get to the other one. And here in
just a moment. But man, who could have predicted that insanity? Huh?
All right, we got another hour to go, Casey O Day Radio
program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four back in
just a few alright, goin everybody. So it's not happy for a lot
of you, because for many of you it's the you're getting the getting the
punks out of the house and sending them back to the school, and you're
not in the routine yet and nobody could find stuff, and you're running late.
And I got it. It'll get better, hopefully. But with that
in mind, the news, the news trucks on and we were just mentioning
the straw insanity, which was wildly predictable, in the same way that people
predicted that when they started talking about gas ranges that the government would stick their
nose in it, and they wrote whole stories and op eds in Washington Post,
New York Times, whatever. So that's that's absurd, You're all paranoid.
And then what was it like a week within a week they were proposing
stuff like I didn't even know if I don't even know if they some of
those op eds. I think some were written and then had to not be
run. It was so quick that they decided they were going to do stuff,
and then it was one you know, after that it was your washer
and dryer, your dishwasher, all of it. And now the Biden admins
latest home appliance crackdown fans. Yep, ceiling fans. Everything is dumb.
The Department of Energy is proposing a rule that would require ceiling fans to be
more energy efficient, saying it would save us households on energy costs. By
the way, never all of their predictions on all of this garbage, I
don't believe it, because they'll say things like over the life of the fan,
the consumer could say thirty nine dollars with the new energy efficient fan.
Well, how long is the ceiling fan last? I think I have two
ceiling fans, and I think they're easily ten years old. ROSTI guys had
ceiling fans. Yeah, we have one in the bedroom and went in the
kitchen, and they've been there since we got the house. Recently when I
went back to visit my mom in New York during the fourth right, yeah,
I went down there, and that's the house that we have lived in
since I was in third grade, so like nineteen eighty eight. It still
has the same fans thirty five years. So at thirty nine dollars, so
your mother could save a dollar, but then you have to wonder how much
of the new fans gonna cost. Well, and so there's two it's there's
two things. One and this is what they never include there. They just
look at direct energy usage, right, and yes there is the cost of
replacing them, but they you know, they'll say, well, you don't
have to replace the ones you have until, you know, until it goes
out. Your grandfather did YadA YadA. But then they do things like you
know with the with the light bulbs right where after a while they're not getting
replaced fast now, so they just manned it, or they do things like
they make it so you can't get the parts to replace it. And the
other thing is this there is you have to retool to do this. So
look, if you're one of the big, big, big ceiling fan people
make ceiling fans, right, it's a lot more survivable. But if you're
a small company, then there is there is an outlay of capital that needs
to happen so that your fans will meet the requirements. You can sell the
damn things. And if you don't, if you're sitting there just barely getting
by, or you're trying to build your business, that's a kick in the
teeth man. The net effect is it will put it will put small business
out of out of business. It's bound to happen. And then I'll have
to sit there and see people online going, well, you know what,
it sounds like they can't compete in the market. Sounds like they can't compete
in capitalism. So it's just capitalism doing it. And you know that they're
wildly dishonest people, because it's not. If it was capitalism, they would
make fans, and then another company would come along and go, hey,
we have a fan where Ross's mom gets to save a dollar a year.
How about you buy our fan that cost twice as much, And then consumers
go, yeah, that's amazing, I want to be like Ross's mom and
save a dollar a year and and then they would buy it, and then
that would be the market doing that. But that's not what this is.
So started with gas stows and now it's literally everything in your kitchen, and
now they're having to find stuff that's now in other rooms. Uh, let's
see here. The cost of manufacturers associated with increased equipment could total eighty six
point six million in per year. Absolutely lunatics. Dude, let's see here.
Oh this is they're okay, all right, So this is GOP numbers.
But Granholm agreed partially with this. Yeah, they estimated. So the
GOP members of the Committee, the Energy, the committee, the committee that
has oversight over the Department of Energy, estimates between ten and thirty percent of
small business ceiling fan manufacturers could go out of business due to the cost of
retooling their production. So annoying, man, do they just don't even care
anymore? I'm telling you that I couldn't be more jaded doing this job,
right, because there's a lot of things that people do freak out about and
they it's not accurate. Like I saw a guy. I'll see stuff on
Twitter and I'm like Dan ain't yet. Chief. There's lots of but the
amount of fu will do what we want that's going on right now is remarkably
more than I remember it being. Oh my god, there's so much of
it now, And I mean, we've been doing this a long time before.
You'd have to like maybe you know, at times, like look at
issues and propose like a slippery slope and people will be like it's crazy or
wearing a tinfoil at and you'd have to like really go walk in some things
to really deep dive into them and try to convince people. And now,
like you're saying, now, it's just in your face. We're gonna do
whatever we want to do when we want to do it, and there's nothing
you can do about it. And if you point it out, we're going
to call you crazy. Between the Justice Department stuff, right with not just
the Trump stuff, but with the Justice Department stuff, where like the aid,
the Prosecutor's aid went and met with the White House, can you imagine
can you even imagine if the DOJ was sitting there meeting out charges to Barack
Obama and Trump met with the supposed Independent prosecutors Number two guy, it wouldn't
Look, it wouldn't even matter if they were going to make claims like Clinton
and Loretta Lynch on that tarmac. Go oh, we're just talking about grand
kids. It's the appearance of the impropriety there. Another one over the weekend
was and Ross and I were talking about this off the air. How many
of you are gonna how many of you have got your bound copy of the
manifesto of the Jacksonville shooter. You got that already? Man. They came
out pretty fast, isn't it. I mean it happened. It was like,
well, you know, the FBI looks into it. Whenever they get
the manifesto. Within twenty four hours, they're like, hey, we got
in hard pack o, paperback, a digital download. We got an illustrator
for the manifesto. Digital is green. Check it out. Look at the
manifesto. It say it's everything to that on the gun. Yeah, crazy
man, what it is? What about the trans shooter? Do you know?
Dun manifesto that No, it's too dangerous. We can't we get it's
too dangerous too. That's what happened. But yeah, well now they're like,
well they you know, they want to but there's a lawsuit with some
of the family. I understand that, but that wasn't the initial reason it.
Ross just pointed out. The initial reason is because they got the manifesto,
because the shooter had a manifesto and they wanted to every want to know,
like all these when you're a crazy whack job and you shoot something up
when you you know, if you're most of the time, you have a
manifesto. And they said, oh, well, we can't release it because
it's too dangerous, it'll cause too much destruction to what the administration's narrative,
Well, what if pease now Ross? Look earlier, Ross was trying to
get people to eat other people. So he's like, he's in a place
this morning. What if people read that manifest and find out that they can
murder people? Oh, well, we can't, we can't have that,
right. What if they read that? Just so ridiculous. Yeah, that
thing is theytioned it for a movie yet probably And this is just another example
where it's something we know what they're doing. It's very obvious, but if
you point it out the gaslight to make it look like you're a crazy person
for noticing it, right, Yep. And there's so many different examples of
this all across the board. Now in every area, I find myself not
being able to disconnect to the extent that like I have to have my sanity
time in the middle of the day, but then I'll see something and I'll
just get irritated. I used to let it slide. Not that I didn't
get irritated, but I had like literally kind of trained myself to go,
I'll freak out on that later, right, you know what I'm saying.
And now it's just it's it's crap like that where I'm just it makes me
angry, and there's so much of it now. Well, and you know,
some some would say that part I have my own theories. I'll give
you one here in a moment. But some would say that's part of that.
That's a that's a feature, not a bug. Is I was about
to say, right, they want you to stare into the abyss that is
all these things, and they wanted to bring you down either that either you
shut up or you go out and do something right and then they're able to
go up right right now, it's it's they call that whether they're poking the
bear. Yeah, they're just doing these things purposely. So somebody will react,
so then they can put in more laws and more restrictions. It's it's
an effective strategy. It's a it is an effective strategy. Man. The
you know what all the motivation is. People have a lot of different theories,
but I look, I'll tell you one thing. How many of you
have worked in an environment where a hatchet person has come in or you knew
that there's good you knew there was going to be a percentage of your company
that was there was going to be laid off. How nerve racking is that,
How how incredibly stressful is that nobody wants to go through that. Nobody
wants to have to deal with that. So when you either find a company
where you find security, or you start your own or whatever, but where
you don't have to deal with that, it alleviates and people are going to
want to protect themselves from that. So when when everybody sits there and talks
about the swamp, this the swamp that you're still dealing with people. You're
dealing with people that in many instances have not they've been able to kind of
do whatever they're doing, and you know, not necessarily in where they are
some all being genius, but they've just they haven't been flustered. They've been
in a very secure position for a very long time, and what they saw
and what they're seeing now is and what they were under Trump was the very
real possibility that they were that, you know, something could happen to their
security, and people don't react well to that. People don't react well.
And when you have those are the folks who understand the intricacies of how things
work at a governmental level, how relationships reformed with media, so you know,
and and how close and incestuous that is that even people who aren't necessarily
sitting in government for the purpose of ruining your life, if they feel threatened,
they may react. And ironically, that's kind of what we were just
talking about, where if people feel threatened, they may react. The difference
is when you have people that are already in those positions of power, those
government offices, those elected offices, when they react, it's not a problem
most of the time, right because they're reacting because they're concerned with the best
interest of everybody out there. But if you go and react, they're waiting
for you to do it in a way that they can demonize, prosecute,
and it doesn't have to be a violent reaction. It could be like Ross
just said, it could be you questioning it thoroughly. They're poking the bear
and you're the bear, and they keep poking and poking, and eventually somebody
you poke them, somebody poked them. It doesn't it doesn't work right.
Well, eventually somebody responds and because he pushed them over the edge. And
then they go, ha, told you so, you're crazy. And then
they enforced more laws and more restrictions upon your liberties. It's but they don't
they don't care anymore, man. And honestly, I think some things are
done just to wind people up, like the fence. You see the video
of all the fencing in Maui, and they kind of made it so you
can't pull over on the side of the road there. All right, Look,
there's a lot of questions. There's obviously a lot of people who seemingly
did not do what they were supposed to do. And I don't know one
hundred percent what's going on there, but you they erected fences, this black
fencing across this entire area, and they have tons, tons of security,
so people can't even slow down on this road to try to get photos they're
knocking. They knocked some drones out of the sky. I'm sure they have
some sort of technology that jams the control system there. That wouldn't be too
far fetched. But you gotta wonder at that point, is it also you
know, is that also about poking the bare winding people up because emotions are
incredibly high, and you don't have to you don't have to walk into the
world of conspiracy theory to understand that when people feel threatened that are in the
positions of power, that they may lose that power, they may lose that
job security, they may react in a way that is less than honest.
And it's not you know, it's not necessarily just the minions somewhere, which
you would say. There's a lot of people I know who work for the
government I think are very good at their job and are necessary, but I
don't care what you do when they're you hear the ten percent of your company's
getting laid off or where you work is, and you're looking at your mortgage,
and you're looking at your family and your kids and all the rest.
People make decisions, man, it's human nature. It's just it's a tale
of two groups making human decisions right now. And I've told you a hundred
times most the thing I'm most fearful of is this thing goes sideways. How
many of these situations where I'm like this, this could turn real bad,
real quick, and I don't want that. I don't think most people want
that, But it's it's going to require I you know, I don't know.
I constantly wonder how we pull ourselves back from the precipice on a lot
of this stuff. And maybe it can be done. Maybe maybe on some
of the stuff it's too far gone, like people's trust within the federal law,
specifically the federal prosecutors, don't. I don't know that you're ever going
to come back from that. You know, it's going to take a while.
At the very least people see what's going on. People are unless they
are wilfully deluding themselves. They have to recognize. Even if you think Trump
deserves everything he's getting, that's fine. If you can't willfully recognize what's going
on with the Bidens and the Biden administration and the inklings that you had about
Trump right in your mind, you're like, ah, sum's off with this
guy who's mansuring candidate or he's he's doing it just to enrich himself for all
the accusations. If you can't take those breadcrumbs that you attempted to assemble with
Trump and notice that many of those breadcrumbs are wholly apparent on the Biden family
and many of the people in government, then you're not an arbiter here.
All right, We'll take a break. Beback. It is the CaCO Day
radio program. After the show is on the iHeart radio app. Search ca
c O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. Yeah, with
a with a a grow guard on a struck. Oh you got hey,
Look my whole day just turned around. I am so happy because I I
even over the weekend, I watched a few of those videos where motor is
trying to just get to work or out there and screaming at these these eco
moon bats that are sitting in the middle of the row with their stupid little
banners and stuff, and you know, occasionally they'll drag him out of the
way. Most of the time they grab their banners yell at him, and
nothing happens, right, and for whatever reason, police don't actually do anything.
But it appears this time they've made a miscalculation, and I depend depending
on where you grew up and where I grew up. One of the things
that was imparted to me by by my parents but also by the members of
my family that were in law enforcement is because I had I had friends in
Ranchester and up in Hardened Montana and Hardened Montana. Once you get across the
border, you're on the Crow Indian Reservation. Even when you're on the interstate
there, the moment you get off that thing, you're you're not in America
for a lot of practical purposes. And the one thing that I know is
you don't screw with the res police, okay, because they're doing they got
their own thing. And depending on where it is, that thing can be
pretty crazy town man, so case in points so Burning Man's going on right,
and to access Burning Man in Nevada, there you drive through giant,
giant swaths of highways and roads that are in fact Native American lands, and
so the police scene is done in large part once you get off, I
guess the main interstates is done in large part by tribal police who are not
the FEDS. So these eco moonbats decided that they were going to shut down
the main road into burning Man. And to do it, they didn't just
sit in the middle of the highway because it's a you know, people are
going crazy fast on that highway. So they put a bunch they got like
a flatbed trailer, knows where they got it. They put a bunch of
stupid flags on it. And then they were standing around with signs and all
that stuff, and they had shut down the traffic. So this video,
which I just retweeted at Casey on the radio, you see one of these
tribal rangers as they're called out there, come up. If you've turned the
sound on the first part of the video, you're gonna hear some night not
nice words. So what does the tribal ranger do? Do you think?
He gets out and negotiates with them and tells him their special and their unique
snowflakes, and he's so proud of them. And now he takes his tribal
ranger truck and drives it directly through their barricades, smashing it, not running
them over, but hitting that thing so hard it pushed the trailer off the
road, thus clearing the way for motorists. Then they arrested all of them.
It's the feel good video of of the years so far. I gotta
be honest, man, oh I was. I was sitting here. I'm
like, I'm tired. I don't know why I'm tired. I didn't they
didn't go out of my house yesterday. I'm tired. It's Monday. I
know people, many of you out there stressed because the kids are going back.
Just you just you want to turn that frown upside down. Go watch
that video, right, And when I first saw the headline, I'm assuming
because this is how you typically see it, plane out played out, is
right, because it said, you know, the tribal how is it the
tribal they call them tribal rangers rammed them and were arrested. And it sounds
like because if this was anywhere else in the country, if you are to
run them over, run them off the road, you're the one that would
get arrested, right not this time? No no, no no, which
is great, and the Feds ain't gonna be able to do anything. But
they didn't. They didn't actually enjoy anyone. They just they're like, no,
you can't do that, and we're going to actually freaking deal with because
every time you see one of these feel good videos. It ends up,
you know, and we'd find out that the person who did the thing got
arrested, right, Like the woman drags the protester off by her hair,
right and sets her on the side of the road so she can get to
work. And it turns out that person was you know, get in trouble
for that because you know that's assault. Yep, this was this is this
was a significant miscalculation in the pecking order of social justice. Do you know
what I'm saying? Right? And this way they're doing it because they assume
they can get away with it, away with it because they're stupid and they
don't realize because they didn't look at a map where that those laws don't apply
here. I'm telling you, I am telling you one hundred percent. It
was put knowledge was imparted on me, just as it was explained to everyone.
Uh, you know where I grew up because we directly boarded. Wyoming
and Montana have a ton of reservation, not counting the Dakotas, and you
need it. It's like when you're in another country, right, you need
to recognize how you're not You're not at You're not in Washington, DC,
where or San Francisco where the police there's video of the police in San Francisco
over the weekend. I was watching them watch a target broken into and just
be like the whatever, right, You're not there anymore. So, you
know when you're some dumbass who goes to a different country and you're like you're
doing something and then you get in trouble for doing that thing and you're like,
oh, they can't do this. You ain't in Kansas anymore. And
when you go on one of those reservations, you're not. You need to
you need to understand what's going on. You need to respect the laws,
and you also need to understand that there are certain things that they can do
that you know, Joe below, police officer in your hometown isn't going to
be able to do. And that's one of them right there. And that's
amazing. Oh I needed that at Casey on the radio, go check that
thing out. Ah, can we dep can we bring them now? Can
you? I was gonna say, can you have them come out and do
like some non reservation policing. Nevada is kind of Nevada is interesting and how
they do that because you have this this huge swaths of land, and so
I mean, it's the only feasible way you can do a lot of the
policing out there. And so that's that's what you got, all right eight
eight, eight, nine, three four seven, eight seventy four. Let's
toss chat with Race Stagic. We got some serious weather to talk about.
If you got folks in the Tampa area, they are getting ready and here
in North Carolina we're getting ready for some of it. Let's let's go through
the timeline, sir. Yeah, And what we're looking at, at least
first is going to be west coast of Florida tropical storm warnings for the Florida
Keys, the Lower Keys anyway, and then already tropical storm watches and hurricane
watches along with storm surge watches on the west coast of Florida. We'll start
to see deteriorating conditions and the Keys probably overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning with
tropical storm conditions. And then the wind starts to pick up on the west
coast of Florida sometime mid morning tomorrow as the center starts to get closer to
land, probably overnight Tuesday night into Wednesday, just north of Tampa. That's
the way it looks right now, with significant water rise maybe four to seven
feet for Tampa, higher as you go north towards cedar Key, closer to
the center in the northeast quadrant. So casey, if anybody knows, that
is an area that's very prone to flooding, water rise and surge flooding.
One of the most prone areas of the country. Actually during hurricanes that see
storm surge rise and if it comes in at the I guess wrong angle,
meaning that could maximize the surge potential, they could end up with a lot
of places under water there. So they're prepping for that. Impacts here probably
from the triangle, but better chance east and southeast out near the coast,
probably Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night and early Thursday. But beaches are going to
take it the worst. It could be a tropical storm sitting dangerously to the
close to the coast and we may feel some impacts of the triad, but
I think the better chance will be triangle East and South. Don't let the
showers thunder showers around the next couple of days foolier, they're not associated with
Idealia at all. We may get some moisture in here midweek or a little
bit later, but again I think emphasizing east right now, the stationary front
will continue to produce today, tomorrow and even on. It's Tomorrow night and
Wednesday, some more showers and thunder showers at times, which have produced some
heavy rain north of the Triad earlier this morning. So busy, but at
least for most of the inland areas, at least here in North and even
South Carolina thrown into that, it looks like we'll escape the heaviest of the
rain, the strongest of wins, better chance near the coast. Now,
that's all hedging its bets on the current forecast track. So obviously, if
it goes a little further toward the west, could be more impacts in line,
if it goes further toward the east, more impacts further east. All
right, we'll stay tuned, obviously, and then tomorrow morning we'll chat again.
So I appreciate it, sir, have a good one, Thank you,
yep, and we'll come back. Jeff Bellinger joins us. Next hang
on, thank you. Casey is one four five w PTI in the Triad
and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Good morning, eight
fifty one. You're Bloomberg Update down with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's going
on? Well, Good morning, Casey. A stock's closed out last week
with an up session and it looks like we'll build on that this morning.
And now futures are up one one hundred forty points with about forty minutes to
go before the opening bell. This is going to be a big week for
economic indicators. The highlight will be the month the employment report that comes out
Friday morning. We'll get data on consumer confidence, income and spending, home
prices, and pending home sales. In the days leading up to the report,
we are likely to see more sales and discounts from retailers. Shoppers have
become more choosy and frugal, and stores have had to work harder to get
people to spend money. Executives of several chains have said recently they are bringing
back promotions to drive up consumer demand. For a quarter century now, Netflix
has mailed DVDs to subscribers. Now it is preparing to complete its transition transition
to a streaming video company. The last batch of DVDs will be mailed one
month from tomorrow, and The New York Post reports Netflix won't want them back.
A posting says the company will not charge for unreturned discs after September twenty
ninth. Customers can enjoy them as long as they like. Bath and body
Works apparently is hoping an early start will make its holiday recruiting a success.
The personal products chains planning to hire about thirty thousand seasonal associates. It's starting
this week. Anyone interested can apply at a Bath and body workstore starting tomorrow.
There's good news that more Americans are keeping a monthly household budget, but
many of those who started budgeting recently did so because of debt. That's the
bad news, according to debt dot com dot dot com, which says people
should budget in good times and bad. Half of the people surveyed by debt
dot com say they live paycheck to paycheck. Little Caesar's renewed its deal as
the National Football League's official pizza sponsor. The chain will kick off the new
season offering free delivery on all orders that offer starts today, it runs through
September tenth, and Casey, you'll probably remember Pokebonc, the augmented reality game
that had people roaming around out is looking for characters with their smartphones. Now,
the company has a new app for smartphone users, and all they have
to do to use it is go to bed. Pokemon Sleep records users sleep
patterns and rewards creatures based on the quality of their sleep. The app has
been downloaded more than ten million times so far. Casey, that's the laziest
crap I've ever heard of. That whole thing. I didn't get it,
Jeff, And then like, yeah, you had your The problem is people
suck, right, And like I remember you know that in Washington, DC,
they have the Holocaust Museum, right, right, So people were literally
in the Holocaust Museum and the museum had to ask people not to go in
and play Pokemon. Go that's yeah. I remember that. There were some
other venues too, I believe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, at Auschwitz
and stuff. I mean, it's just now, and I wonder about the
wisdom of sleeping with your phone against your head, which is, I guess
what you have to do to play this game? Really? Okay, all
right, all right, I'm just done. All right. May not be
a good idea, that's a good one, Okay, you two take care,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not No, I'm not gonna let
it undo the happiness, the glee I felt watching that video of those tribal
rangers doing their thing. It's like five minutes and they hook everybody up,
and I'm I'm noticing as they're arresting all of them ross they're all like lily
white, probably from you know, good families of course, rast and and
like, let me, let me explain something to you. Those tribal rangers,
members of those tribes up in Nevada, they give zero f's about the
crap that you're pulling. And here's there's there's a couple of things, right.
One, it sucks to be a have to be not near a largely
populated area if you're a tribe, because it limits the ability of things that
you may be able to do to monetize some things. Right. So that's
why when you get into tribes that are in the New York City area or
Los Angeles or many other places. Chicago another good example of Florida with the
seminoles down there, there's a lot of economic activity that they can stir.
That's not the case in this part of Nevada. Nobody lives up there.
And you couple that with one of the ways in which the tribes tend to
monetize is through casinos. Well, you're screwed because you're in Nevada, so
they're not putting up with your happy horsecrap. They're going to monetize you right
now because they're taking you all to jail, all right, So they got
they got no time for this, none, man. So that video is
amazing. We got a couple of great videos. So we got all sorts
of stuff. In fact, we got to get these tweeted out before we
get out of here, since I got sidetracked by that other video. Like
one of them is this amazing crash that Ryan Priest the NASCAR crash. This
is this. This might be the craziest NASCAR crash I think I've ever seen.
Three forts have separated themselves. A big push coming now for Harvick.
Oh a round goes a couple of gods. Priest upside down, he's barrel
rolling through the grass. This doesn't walk pries upside down Indian Field Rush.
How many times do you think that car flipped? Oh my god, I
had one over and over again. I Mean, I think there's no way
that dude survived because the first thing I thought I was scrolling the Twitter and
it showed up and I was watching it without knowing anything about what happened.
I'm like, that dude is dead. No, gets right down, which
is which is what what is so crazy about it? Too? When you
think about the crash that killed Dale Earnhardt. I was just about to say
it, right, it didn't look like much the safety, the safety on
these cars is just getting crazy crazy good. So so watch it, but
know that he you know, he got out of there on his own.
And my one of my favorite funny to laugh at videos is this dude who's
so drunk he's trying to fight his own reflection in the mirror. What do
you think started it? Do you think he was like the dude was mocking
him by wearing the same clothes. I said, do you want to fight
his music? Dy like over and the dudes at the bar laughing. Plus
they're drinking Michaelo Boltra, how many you got a drink to get that drunk?
Only he's like he's starting to punch the mirror. He's getting pissed off
at himself because the guy's blocking everything he throws at him. No, it's
like, so you're at the Kuma te man, it's not going well for
you. I think people watch I s let people comment on the video.
They're like, life goals. I'm like, I don't know, man,
maybe in my twentieths, but no, I just I can't even imagine.
Yeah, he's like, oh, this guy's good. So we'll sweeked that
out again. Already did he can strolled down. We'll get it out for
you, all right, go watch all that, and she's
