All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is six o seven
here on the k c O Day radio program. I was hoping i'd be
full clear on the boys today, and I'll tell you what did me in
is the curse that I have every time right ahead of vacation, I'm gonna
enter a little sick. So yeah, that's the thing. All right,
Well whatever, As per usual, Friday show will bounce around. We were
treated to uh, the official White House Christmas Video or holiday video or whatever
she called out to. Look and it's, uh, it's a thing.
It's a Nutcracker revival through the White House, but not really and fundamentally changed,
and the music isn't correct and and it's done by a tap dancing group
a bunch of quick camera shots, and it's, uh, if you're into
drugs, you're gonna love it. That's the first thing I thought. Seeing
that, I'm like, you know, you get some guy back in high
school. He's like, yeah, man, I like to smoke marijuana and
watch Fantasia. Dude, that that guy I can still remember who that guy's
name is too. Uh, he did this thing. It's pretty crazy.
And what's crazier for some is the the group who is doing the dancing for
it, Well, they're out of New York. They are a tap dance
group and they they by the way, they seem very talented at tap dancing,
as best I can understand it. I never tap danced, but you
know, I'm I'm happy to admit they seem to be pretty good at it.
They're not pretty good at liking police or wanting just you know, people
to be arrested for stuff. They are super SJW. And it's and it's
not just oh we saw some of their tweets. It literally when they're not
tap dancing, they're you know, all cops are bastards, acab folks.
So that's that's good and I would encourage you to check it out. We'll
got it on the Twitter at Casey on the radio, compliments of the first
lady there, because man, oh man, it is a doozy. Now.
I seem to remember Milania Trump taking a crap ton of grief for what
what did they describe? I can't remember what they described it as like.
Do think they called it dark for some reason, but I think it was
just so deeply white light traditional. I I remember looking at it going,
you know, I'm not a big Christmas decorator, dude. I don't have
nine trees like some folks. But that seems well within a standard what I
would consider a standard rich person decorating scheme. Do you know what I mean?
But it's a lighthouse. What do you expect? Man? And man?
They were mad at her. I there's a lot of videos where you
can see the two side by side, and I would encourage you to do
so. And if you had somebody in your life who's like, can you
believe what Malania did? Just watch the watch the one that just got put
out with them and ask them to comment and you know, or and maybe
they think all of its stupid and they're at least not a hypocrite, right,
stick with it. So but we got to talk about the bigger thing.
We got to talk about the most important little story that I got sent
today. Because I think it's very nice that you think Ross and I just
because we're on the radio, have like the famous people's phone book and we
can just you know, call up whoever because I don't know D Snyder,
Ross, do you know D Snyder? Okay, So I did not know
this is gonna be part of the show. Oh, it's going to be
part of the show because somebody send me an email going, oh, doude
do you guys? You guys are in the radio. You know. I'm
like, I don't know d I don't know him, but I have stayed
overnight at his house. Oh my. So when I was working in Omaha,
they flew me into Hartford audition for afternoons there. I ended up turning
down the job, but in the meantime they were like, they needed to
like give me a place to stay, right and typically they would book you
a hotel. They're like, well d Snyder is out of town, you
can just stay at his house. Where where when Hartford in Hertford, Connectic.
Yes, wow, okay, well, you know, you know what,
it was super weird because they were like, you know, you're in
his house and there's like photos in the wall and they're framed and his stuff
is around. It's you don't touch anything. Well, this is super weird.
You didn't urinate behind this piano and I didn't. And that was not
me. Oh it was David Foster, but it was not me. Okay,
Yes, that was a home in la and it was Ross was there,
but he was not the person who was mad disrespectful. So it's one
of these things where like I've never met D. Snyder. I have never
had a conversation with D. Snyder, but I did sleep in his house
for two nights in a row. Wow. Okay, well you probably you
know, maybe looked around, but it found his number somewhere man, So
you know, but you know what the deal is, right, Yeah,
because I've been like asked this before, where like a topic will come up
and if somebody asked in all sincerity, they're like, hey, can you
call blah blah blah and ask them this? I'm like, why do you
think I would know who? You know? Blank? How would I know
this person? Right? But specifically no, no, no, that's specifically
the local story that D. Snyder's tied into. I mean, I didn't
send it to you, and you have an idea. Oh my gosh,
Oh my gosh. Oh well, let's let's get to this. Is D
Snyder living in Oakridge? Uh? You know, apparently everyone in Oakridge thinks
he's got a house up in Oakridge just for the I guess for the Triangle.
It would be a north north west suburb of Greensboro. So some nice
houses up that away. Yeah, yeah, the the they wrote a whole
article w f M. I did a whole piece on this because this is
what was sent with the Hey would you can you call and see if it's
him? And I'm like, no, I can't, don't have d Snyder's
number. I'd be fascinated to talk to him though, now, and not
just on the music stuff D Snyder gave. He gave a couple interviews.
I try to remember who who he was, if it was Joe Rogan or
somebody else. And he was talking about literally government taxes, screw him,
they can all go to hell, and why he bought or sold his catalog
right and did it at a time when normally people didn't they were still receiving
enough residuals. And he said, look, I just did the math man
and I'm being hit at x y z rate and I'm making X number of
this a year. So my lawyer and I we figured out, hey,
but what do we want? Ten years fifteen years worth the royalties for the
rights, And people said, well that's not enough, and he pointed out,
well they are because he only pays capital gains tax on it. So
he did this. He structured this whole thing, and he loves talking about
it. And it's just not what you expect when you're like, coming up,
we're gonna have the lead singer of Twisted's sister, right, and he's
given he's given tax tips. I thought that was fascinating. He's right by
the way. So, but he may also be living in Greensboro now or
Oakridge specifically, So I don't know. I did see the story, and
then I saw it when I was sent to me asking to call D.
I don't have his number. Obviously. Ross is much closer to D or
at least his possessions. So I got a text message somebody asking me how
big the house was. So it was like downtown Hartford. I don't think
it was his primary home. It was like it was like in a part.
It was like a whole floor of an apartment company, like you know
what I mean, like a condo building. Yeah, yeah, I guess
it would be a condo yeah, and like downtown so to overlook the city
and stuff. That's super weird. I was told specific ice it's a it's
a nice little city. I wouldn't want to live there. Yeah, No,
I was told specifically don't sleep in that bed. Can you imagine?
Did you not? Wait a second, I'm telling you it was super weird?
Hold on what year was this? It would be it was an omaha
from somewhere between two thousand and three and two thousand and five. Or did
I go when I was in Salt Lake? I think it was when I
was in Yeah, you didn't you know, you didn't get a black light
and just I'm telling you no, I was like superhero in our rock legend's
house. The hell interview is super weird and that's way I turned it down.
I was like this this guy, the program director was I got bad
vibes. I was like, hen, it's weird. Everything was super weird
about it. It's like, we want you to be music director and I'm
like, I don't have any experience doing that, Like I don't even know
how the software works. It's yeah, well we'll teach you. Like what
do you mean you'll teach me? Because it's not like you're like it's a
small, tiny market, you know, right right, right? Okay,
Uh, it was weird. I'm I'm sorry to hear that, but you
know, what a story to have besides never talking to him meeting him ever
having a conversation. I know, I'm dude, We're like this, We're
super tight. And and forgive me if I don't what is d Snyder's connection
to the triad the dudes from New York? I think see is his It's
just spouse from I don't know, not that I'm not. You know,
if he wants to if he wants to live, you're awesome. But it
was just such a weird story. And then for people to be like,
hey man, why don't you just call him on your phone? Oh?
Uh oh yeah, sure, let me uh let me uh we got the
secret guy on the radio black book of phone numbers. I think they was
what I'm thinking of. In the past, somebody had contacted me asking me
if I could reach out to Steven Tyler and ask him a question. Oh
okay, I'll say what how There there have been probably two or three musicians
that you would know who were dumb enough to give me their phone number.
But I would also not do something like that. And frankly, I don't
even know if I have the couple that I had, although one of them,
one of them sent me, uh he sent me like twenty texts after
we met literally one time, sat there for about thirty minutes shot you know,
shoot the breeze, so to speak. It was for when I was
doing music radio, and then he's like boom, boom boom. And then
he sent me random texts about the rest of the show because it was a
festival. And I just thought that was like, you must be really bored
backstage because I never saw him again, but I appreciate it. Probably feel
weird, like texting him out of the blue, right, you don't want
to bother the person because you don't want to be that guy. Well,
I'll tell you who it was. It was. It was John Popper,
the John Popper. I imagine I, at least I would like to imagine
that he'd be a cool dude blues traveler. Well, yeah, could,
dude. Could He came over to do a like a three minute radio hit.
Oh we spent a half hour, he drinking my bourbon and him showing
me his case. I was about to say, is this the guy you
met? The artist you a cane sword, yeah, lead singer, blues
traveler, yeah, and then I and then he never texted me again after
that. It was strange man, but super nice guy. And he's got
a cane. It's got actually two sword things in it, so you know,
if you're clicking a mugging, that dude probably should. One is one
is poverty. If you're a celebrity, you have a cane, you have
like a like multiple attachments like two or right right now, it looks like
it's gotta look like Q made it for you, the James Bond tech dude,
because if not, I mean, what's what's having money if you don't
have spylight gadgets? But maybe that's just me all right, six twenty ac
O DA Radio program Reminder eight oh five pet Calendar will join us. It's
all coming up. Hang on n w PT I in the triad and one
six one FM talked in the triangle. Why are you talking about music?
Guys? Is local? Its local? Bro? And you know what,
once I start playing audio this morning, you will beg me. You will
beg me to talk about uh this this the w f M Yuh does d
Snyder live on the outskirts of Greensboro? Story or an oatbridge? Because the
alternative is and and look, I readily accept the fact that because I said,
I you know, what's the connection. Why would he come down here?
I mean, and then I mentioned he's from New York. Maybe it's
just taxes, dude, I don't know. But the alternative is some dude
moved into Oakridge and he looks exactly like D Snyder and we're just, you
know, we're just ruining his piece. Unless he's one of those folks who
looks like somebody and then leans into it, then I don't have any sympathy
for you, because is that you know you're getting. You're getting five percent
of that did they get? You know, the screamy fans stuff, and
it feels pretty good, and before you know it, you're you're not telling
people you are D Snyder, but you're not denying it either. So I
don't know what's up, but I thought it was interesting that one the story
exists, and two that you think that we have all the rock stars phone
numbers, which I appreciate, I really do, all right, oh man.
Which which was least anger inducing or repulsive to dub In of the three
cuts, the White House Christmas, the Intern video, or the Alyssa Milano
in Sanite. Probably the Milano that's the one that's the one that haunts your
dreams. Huh. You know, I wasn't aware she was a multi faceted
artiste. I guess. Yeah. We listen when I play the Alyssa Milano
audio, which I'll do here pretty quick. In the next segment, you'll
you'll pray for a D. Snyder or really any other discussion. And by
the way, if you know anything on the Snyder thing and you want to
call, and because you live in Oakridge and you gossip and you know these
things, you should do that eight eight, eight nine, three four seven,
eight seventy four. If the whole article is a little stocker ish,
they're like, here's the shopping center he lives by, here's the other ones
you can triangulate. There's they figured out what his car looks like and what
where the house is, and now the employees watch for the car at the
house. And I don't know, man, that's a little stockery. This
is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle, and there's talk ninety
four to five w PTI and the Triad well asked and answered at the very
least by people who have been exploring the D. Snyder live in the Triad.
Now, I guess one of our listeners sent me well, they posted
it to social media. He's posing for the picture, but it's him going
and buying a new vet. I'm not going to say what the vehicle is
because I think that's how people are creeping on this dude. But I mean
he did post a picture with the vehicle and the salesman who sold in the
vehicle at a dealership here in the Triad. So okay. And then Ross
we had some folks didn't want to go on the air but kind of threw
their two cents in, and they're on team. It is D. Snyder
and not some weirdo who looks like him. Yeah know, they're on team
confirmed it is D Snyder. All right, Well, you know i'd be
interested to I'd be curious what made made him make the decision. But welcome.
And by the way, you know, h D Snyder. Like I
said, I found it fascinating him getting deeper into you know, because he's
on that cuspable the rock stars that are had enough stick around that they were
finally able to get theirs on the record companies and you know things are so
different now. But you couple that with his tax stuff. He didn't he
just get in trouble because the whole uh transgendering or transu trans operations for kids,
because the people would point to him and be like, see, it's
okay, you can dress however you want. And he's basically like, yeah,
I'm I'm an adult, and I'm it's a rock thing. And I
know he got grief for that. But also I remember during the John McCain
Paul Ryan thing, Snyder came out and demanded that they stop using their music.
So he's just he's just a guy who didn't like any politician. I
don't know, man, But okay, all right, look at that solving
solving stuff, getting stuff solved, even on a Friday, which you know,
if this was your kid's school and it's the last day of the are
they doing what is the last day? Well, Lincoln's not on the tradition.
Lincoln's on a year round, so he has next week. I think
he gets off. His last day's next Thursday, okay, and then obviously
through what the first no for him, it's an entire month. Oh oh,
okay, all right, I feel like he just I feel like he
just went back to school. Yeah, he didn't. Like I said,
year round is so weird. It's but like, especially like somebody who grew
up in traditional school where like year round was like wasn't even a thing.
It's like what is didn't exist? Right? Right? Yeah, no,
you were just waiting for the end of May. In Wyoming, they are
end of May, all right, let's do this thing, and then September
things it suck again because you know, it's back to school. Yeah,
I feel like I feel like he just went back to school. But I
guess, yeah, the way they carve it up. So AnyWho, But
no, like I said, we're getting things done, like sharing a Melissa
Alyssa Milano with you. Everyone's favorite Who's the Boss character? Right or maybe
not? I would say she was my favorite character in that vampire movie she
did. Did you ever see that ross? The vampire movie she did?
After she got she was done with Who's the Boss? It's she she pulled
the I can't I don't know if it would be I guess would be the
original she pulled the original Elizabeth Berkley Man. Yeah, I could see that,
But I mean she really peaked with Commando and John Matrix. That's fair,
just fair. John Matrix should have probably left her there, to be
honest. Well, knowing what we know now, after all the stuff he
had to go through, right, if you weigh it out, you know,
run the algorithms, you're you're correct. But you know they didn't have
the AI and stuff back in the day. You had to go on your
gut, and sometimes your gut's not right. So but yeah, she is
this vampire movie and she's just like, I'm sick of being this, you
know this good girl rep, I'm gonna do this. And then the chick
from Save by the Bell with the Showgirls, Yeah, it was kind of
one of those. So so AnyWho, she's now taken to singing about stuff
on social media, and normally I'll just try to ignore it, but this
one's just weird enough where I can't be the only one knowing this. Women
don't insomonate themselves. Women don't inseemonate themselves. Women don't insomonate themselves. Women
don't insommentate themselves. Okay, a couple of things. One uh not true
sometimes, but that's a whole that's the whole Drake story and the hot sauce
of that. Okay, all right, And also, I mean it is
physically possible, especially with the device that likely was used about three weeks ago
in your house. That being said, there's no there's not context as to
what's going on, and accept if she's going for the Hey, guys,
if you're gonna go out and you're gonna get a woman pregnant, then you
better step up and and you know, be there for her and for your
child. If if you know they're gonna have the child, then then the
guy needs to needs to handle his bit. Which is not a bad message
considering the stupid stuff she said over the years. But I also don't trust
that's what she's going for and I don't think that that's going to crack the
hot one hundred Just me all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. We did get an answer, even though we didn't get
Sam Page to call in yesterday over this weird Axios article saying that he's gonna
that he should challenge. I don't think they were saying that he was going
to. They were saying that he should based on a poll or at least
has the option. And well, Sam Page did what he said he was
going to do and filed for lieutenant governor yesterday. So I guess that answers
that I mean, he does have a few more days it wants to change.
So as to as to whether there was quote, a deal to keep
him out of Burger Senate race, Page says no, that's a good follow
up question of the reporter that asked that. And and uh, you know,
I guess you believe or you don't believe Page. I think I believe
him. Probably. Yeah. Dylan Watt's director of the Senate Republican Caucus,
confirmed a meeting that the two had though yeah, yeah, yeah, here
we go. Uh, no deals were proposed, no deals were accepted,
Watts said in a text message, and just that the two had a good,
frank conversation. And obviously Phil Berger and Sam Page know each other very
very well, uh, being the sheriff of the county in which Senate his
Senate seater at least partially is actually located. So an anonymous poll purported to
show Page with a thirty point lead over Berger. I you know what that
what that smells like is maybe somebody trying to recruit, well one somebody just
trying to screw with Burger or two to recruit somebody to run against him,
but in a carrot stick kind of way. Meanwhile, Mark Robinson officially filed
for the gubernatorial race. The cannon filing deadline, by the way, is
today. Let's see here, I had a whole list falls his opponents.
Till fall Well and Attorney Bill Graham have filed a run against Robinson, So
you got those three. Andy Wells had announced. I have not seen that
he's filed. This is on the Republican side here, so yeah, yeah,
nothing that turned into the bit of gossip and rumor and everything that was
out there. Just basically everyone filing that we expected, filing for the office
as expected. So anyway, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four, all right, we will get into the the insanity that is the
White House Christmas video and the decoration scheme. I don't know, it's hard.
I think it's hard to gauge it because the video's so busy with the
this multi you know, this big group dance number. But I don't I
don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with it in the same way I don't think
there was a problem with Millenias. But we're not allowed to do that anymore.
So we will get into it coming up here on the KCO Day Radio
program one six one at Them Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two
stations driving the best end talk. This is Cacoday and Carolina's Morning News.
All right, good morning, six fifty one ACO Day Radio program. And
Christmas has cometh with the release of the official White House Christmas video. And
uh, it's a thing little jazzy, little dancy, little tap dancy a
little uh while look at those decorations, owing those costumes and those facial expressions,
and I don't know what's going on. It's it's it's a quasi bit
Nutcracker thing, but not really. Yeah, I'm not here in the Nutcracker
suite at all. Yeah, well, what you know, the the one
thing that we think of, And thank you, uh, thank you to
Fantasia, I guess for the for reminding me of this is if you want
to if you want to see the Nutcracker Suite in the order, because the
Nutcracker Suite is just a group of songs from a larger failed play actually uh
Russian production, so they pulled like you know, five or six or whatever,
and then that's what's con said. And I'm some music person's gonna correct
me, but it's not the totality of the work that it was gonna be.
But also those songs are legendary because in Fantasia they they do that and
they introduce people to it. Maybe you're not even classic music people, but
you know through through doing When did Fantastic about nineteen forty or something? That's
crazy to think about. Nineteen Yeah, it was like early nineteen forty.
Came out before World War two or before our entry into World War two,
I guess is what I should say. So, yeah, you can go
see the video at CAC on the radio and you know, maybe tap along,
do whatever. But it was in the original like if you watch it,
because I've never liked, you know't wought tickets and sat down and watched
the Nutcracker whatever is there a giant mutated bunny? Because why is there an
Easter bunny in the White House video? That's the trippiest part I I I
know that the thing that creeped me out the most is that chick who's looking
excited when they go through the main room and got her like that looks like
if you were an extra in a movie where like demons were getting into people.
And I don't know, this sounds weird. I don't mean that in
a nasty way. She just it's like the face is she is, she
looks it's that I understand she's going for, uh, you know, enthusiasm,
but holy can I don't know, like the mutated bunny pulling the Marty
McFly with the electric guitar in front of the Christmas tree, like you know,
down and like at the end of the movie at the Enchantment under the
Sea dance, remember and there he's He's like, oh, you guys aren't
ready for that. It's super weird. Well, now you know what the
bunnies are reference to, right, you know, mostly the donkeys and sheep.
Get it. But I'm sure there was a rabbit in this. Maybe
that's what they're going for, you know, in the stable, or maybe
there wasn't. I don't know if they had a lot of access to a
lot of rabbits in the Middle East at that point, probably desert hairs,
because otherwise I don't know why creepy rabbits in there. To answer your question,
but I also I don't put the video together. I just watched it
with this horrific look on my face and went, okay, all right,
well I guess it's Christmas time, so you want to weigh in on that,
you can, that's fine. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. CNN's doing some some digging. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
got themselves a bank in their sites they say is engaging in racial discrimination,
although the statement issued by the bank seems to be what I thought was common
knowledge. But I kind of know better as well. But we'll get to
that. And you a bunch of pervs in New York. But also I
don't like where that element of society, and you know, it's a it
is a thing, is is headed based on some of the search results in
that story. My goodness. But let me do this, okay. So
I I was watching a little of the Jensaki Miles Teller back and forth.
So Miles is you know, standard fair moon back guest. He is also
the guy who wrote the anti Trump op ed anonymously for The New York Times
from within the administration, Right, remember that dude like, ah, who
is it? And then and then everyone's like, it's Miles Teller, and
everyone went, who that's the guy? Okay, because do you remember that?
Because that was what I do? Remember that? And I know Miles
teller has like a reputation for kind of being a d bag. What non
believe? Yes, I hope I helpe you are prone or sitting down.
So Taylor is on with Jen Saki and and feeding her everything she wants,
and then her two other guests, and they're discussing the fact, the fact
that if Trump is re elected do do do, he will turn off the
Internet. And then they spend a little time on deploying troops on American soil.
And I don't think they mean at the border, but basically I guess
to go to blue cities and round up their enemies or something. I don't
know, But so, but your lead one, let me let me So
you think Trump, if re elected, is going to turn off the Internet,
the thing that seemed to bring him the single largest amount of joy during
his presidency. Do you think he's gonna shut that bad boy down? I'm
sorry? Do you? Are you not aware how much he loves the internet?
Wasn't that the big criticism with him? Right? He'd get up and
they'd watch Fox and he'd tweetd I thought it was fantastic. Not not always
the stuff that he tweeted, but I thought it was fantastic because he would
do it so early that we had a little live break of news on the
show a lot of mornings. But if you think Donald Trump is gonna turn
off the Internet and by the way, everything that you're accusing him of he's
going to do, he would have to do utilizing the same powers he had
the last time. He had the ability to do all the things you said
he was gonna do, which of course he didn't do. Do you ever
see a movie it's like super good, but the sequels like really bad.
I guess that's what they're saying. But everything about like Trump is always speculative,
right, like he's gonna do this, he's gonna do that, He's
gonna be an authoritarian, and like Joe Biden is actually doing those things right
now? Well is he doing them though? Is it physically him doing it?
But also with Trump is You're right, it is speculative from a future
standpoint, but you can't ignore data that you now have on the subject.
Right, he didn't start the wars, He didn't you know, kill all
the then whoever was threatened. Right, he didn't knuke Iran, He just
didn't. All Right, good morning and welcome maybe he's seven oh six.
You're on the Cacoday radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. You know I mentioned this yesterday. Okay, what is
this? All right? Thank you, thank you, thank you. Do
just send me like ten story links board this morning, bro, I'll scan
him, all right. So anyway, yesday we mentioned that al Michaels would
not be part of the NFL postseason broadcast. That's kind of a big deal.
He's been there for the forty one years or something in some capacity.
Is NBC, who he works for, has four playoff games, and they
announced they would be going in different directions for those, but we didn't really
know the reason. Now, granted he did transition over to do the Thursday
night football which last night was I have we checked to see if the Chargers
are alive. Oakland beat them like what sixty three twenty one or something.
Brutal, just brutal man so and remember we tie or we beat Oakland last
week three nothing, So I don't know what's going on. Maybe that hurt
their feels and this is how they lash out. But one of the four
playoff games is on their Amazon Prime Thursday night broadcast set you know capacity and
not even having Michaels on there. That's what people found a little weird.
Man, Well, there is a narrative forming ross. Had you seen why
they think Michaels is not on there yet? Because you're gonna love this as
much as I loved it. No, I haven't seen no reason. It
appears as though the NFL was not pleased about an offhand comment that Michael's made
in October about Taylor Swift. This dude puts in forty years. Yeah,
he's been around forever, like he's part of football, right, Like for
me, it's like like Madden the same thing. Yeah, Al Michael's John
Madden are are are part of football obviously. You know John Madden's not here
anymore, but Al Michaels is and he's calling games. It's not even that
you're not even wheeling this dude out of a home. I have seen like
younger people on social media being like who don't who aren't really familiar with him
or like his history that are like who's this old guy with new energy?
Like oh, his calls aren't exciting enough, Like he doesn't sound like he's
hyped enough. I assume that's why they were taking it off because they were
appealing to the younger people. Uh or yeah, and if but if it
has anything to do with somebody who's been associated with football for about five seconds
compared to forty one years or whatever, right, just what I mean?
I guess they would argue, oh, you know, it's just business.
But nothing is nothing sacred to you guys as to how that looks. I
know that your love in the whim, your loving your eighteen thirty five women
that you're getting that you know really weren't a part of your demographic. And
really stop the NFL, who has one of the most expansive footprints because of
you know, football and the Super Bowl, of having a new bucket of
advertisers. I get it. You know we're in the same business here,
right. We do what we do, the products a little different, but
ultimately it requires partners, business partners and advertisers, and you know you want
to as broadly appeal as possible. But al michaels and and for one comment,
what did he what is what is this? He called it a side
show. But if you're the NFL man, I bet you're sitting in some
marketing meetings, right, somebody's got a sizzle reel. Yeah, I mean,
but they're absolutely out of their mind if they don't think a lot of
people sitting at home or thinking the exact same thing, what do you think
about it's annoying. It's annoying. Yeah, yeah, it is a side
show. It's exactly what it is. But and I can't wait for him
to dump her. Well, she doesn't. She normally dump it typically,
Yeah, But would you agree that sports people, athletes fans especially, but
there are like in athletes that you tend to be superstitious. Right, they've
lost two games in a row, they drop a few more games, and
he is gonna dump her. He's I'm telling you he's gonna because he's a
champion and he's used to winning. Right. You could say that the Chiefs
are coddle maybe and the little privilege there. Right, I'm gonna tell Andy
Reid, like you, they give him warnings you're off side. He doesn't
go apply to other teams. I guess when they have say twelve men on
the field or in the field goal whatever I have issued. I'm saying,
they lose another game, they drop a few, he's gonna dump her because
he's gonna be like, that's the reason we're losing. I mean, and
it's gonna be amazing. What's that song? How is that it's gonna be
a good song or not? I don't know. Is that like it was
the beef a bunch of her songs or because John Mayer made her cry or
something over John Mayry. Yeah, and and Ed sheeron as well. I
think, oh wow, okay, But the New York Post did a story
yesterday I think it was a New York Post and they had a story about
how why wasn't Kelsey at Taylor Swift's birthday in New York City? River was?
And people like, well because and it was a deep dive explanation as
to why he wasn't at the birthday. People are like, I don't know,
maybe because he's a professional NFL player and he has stuff he has stuffed
to do. Yeah right, yeah, well what day was the birthday?
Because they get like one day off a week, I don't know, maybe
a few days ago thing. Yeah, so even if it's on the one
day off, man there during the season, these guys are managed so hard
that that wouldn't surprise. But I like your theory and in the sense that
like it would be for the most sports reason ever, which will it will
be incomprehensible to the newest football fans, complete lonely here, like they won't
understand it because they've never seen Bull Durham, you know what I mean.
Recently, I remember a story about Patrick Mahomes wearing like that. It was
either the same boxers or the same sicks for like five or six set whatever.
It's been like a ridiculous amount of time. It's I'm not changing it
because we've won. Athletes are incredibly superstitious, they really are. And if
something massively has changed and suddenly you start losing, you're gonna look at and
me like, what's the reason. She's the reason I'm dumping her? And
again her fans will they won't understand why, and all the meltdowns, you
know what. I think that there will be sky screaming. Yeah, right,
we might get some Remember sky screamers when Trump first got elected and they're
like, all right, just go out and scream at the sky and film
it so the guys on the radio can laugh at you. So we got
to have type sky screamer. I know we have. I think we still
have one in the system. I could see sky Screamers becoming a thing if
Ross's prediction plays out, which, by the way, that prediction coupled with
it was a rocky history, right of these things blowing up a little.
You never know. By first week of the playoffs, you could be cutting
to a new use or social media posts from the Greater Kansas City, well
really everywhere, because again it's not about the affinity for the team. Uh,
they're just like, oh, I look good and red and I like
Taylor Swift and then next day they're out there. Look you even got the
drum from the Chiefs. Well they don't have it as girlhead anymore, but
oh oh that's the best. Oh oh feet, I need some more,
I need some more of this on my soul this morning. All right,
oh oh like this? What what Chiefs are gonna go deep in the playoffs?
But no, oh who and that'll and that'll and I'm fortunately that'll be
what she's screaming at the tight end, not knowing one that he's a tight
end or two what it does, but it'll be. I'll be here for
it. Ross fit happens while we're on vacation, we're not coming back and
doing another show, but I'll definitely be posting on social media. I'll program
the the deep fix what do you what do you mean? It'll sound like
we're here, but we won't be. It'll be oh god, is this
your AI thing again? Go ahead? Are you gonna get good? Get
that out of your ROSSI but you know, but that's just that's the hey
it's powered by but that sound. People are gonna think that's you. It
needs to be you doing what it is you do on the radio. Ha
ha, Well I know that's fake absolute poverty. Yeah. Wow, that's
a good point. Yeah, I concur Yeah, okay, keep those so
we got yeah, all right, if you want to program those in,
that'll be just fine. All right, so you know, maybe the maybe
the day will uh we'll do it. Wait wait, hold on, yes,
Janet, what's up? Hey, Casey? I was just thinking about
the internet situation. I don't have one question about trump felling the inn,
I mean trumpet Yeah, yeah, I don't know how he's going to do
that when the lestis etes and Mom has already sold it to time and to
be sure they have full access to everything they need in his absence. Well,
that and the Internet doesn't exist because net neutrality, remember didn't it got
pulled away? And remember this said the Internet that this is this is a
concept we're discussing now, I guess, but I see. This is exactly
how democrats get it, exactly how I want it every time because their followers
are they're absent minded or something. I don't know. I can't remember anything
while I learn about fifteen minutes. No, uh, you know. And
look, it's one thing to be forward looking, it's one thing to be
intentionally divorce yourself from anything that's come before. And that's how you get.
Hey, let's tear down an Abraham Lincoln statue, so we'll see, and
how you get let's kill the Jews every one hundred years, or let's kill
all the Jews that never happened before. Well it's it's eighty ish, yeah,
eightish years, but something like that. Freaking learn from your mistakes,
idiots. Well the irony, the irony, of course, and thank you
for the call. Janet is the very same people would say, Donald Trump,
they would pull from the historical record of what Germany did because before it
was around him up and put him in a camp thing. It was the
labels, the restrictions, the the you know, the ghettos and and the
uh, the you know, the caricatures that appeared in print, whether it's
in flyers or in the day you know, daily in the papers around there.
It was about it was to dehumanize. And so they would all sit
there and go see where such scholars on everything having to do with the late
thirties early forties Germany, that we're able to recognize it when Trump's doing it.
And then those were the previous acquisition accusations. Now it's just he's going
to turn the Internet off, which is not you know, you gotta know
where the switches first, right, you're gonna ross a fun fact case case,
you know, like the Biden's people, get me the switch is that
one in the garage that you don't know what it does? That's actually the
internet switch. So you just pop in there and hit that one switch up
and down a few times. Probably gonna confuse some folks, but yeah,
that's how you turn the Internet off. So very very simple. Everything's dumb.
And I liked how they were more concerning them turning the Internet off than
him releasing the US military on US soil. Obviously to do his bidding,
Like here's the deal if you go full martial law, but like of the
brutalist varietal as they're predicting, I don't I don't know that I'm gonna have
a lot of time to spend on YouTube, right, I don't know if
I'm gonna be able to watch that recommended video. Be kind of busy,
But all right, MSNBC, you just do what MSNBC does. We're gonna
do what we do. We're gonna take a break, be right back,
Hang up your day Smarter one six one f M Talk and News Talk ninety
four w PTI more with Casey starts now all right, just say in good
morning. It is seven twenty six. Just a a little quickie for you.
As went very long in the first segment. Reminder coming up Pete calender
at eight o five. We got lots to get into a they a woman
is on the news. Do they not give her a name? No,
they do, Christy Deets, Christy Deets who she was as over over Thanksgiving
she went to Pittsburgh to visit her family and during that time her house was
broken into. But is what they stole? That is the reason we're doing
this story because upon return, Christie said she found a chair propped up underneath
the window. That's how they gained entry. They went in, had to
remove a window air conditioning unit, and they took TVs, makeup, nail
polish, some clothes, and her two cats. And she says, I
can replace everything, but I need my cats back. She very loves her
cats, Opal and Karma, but at this point says, the thief absconded
with them, which they're not like crazy show cats, expensive cats can I
man, I hate to be this person. You all know that, right?
Why are you assuming the cats weren't in on it? Right? You
know, if somebody goes into a company to steal something, or into a
business setting, you know, for a little little espionage, right once again
they want boom, they're out. I'm just pointing out that there remains a
possibility, and I hope I'm wrong. Keeping you connected. This is ninety
four to five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk and the
Triangle. All right, seven thirty five, Welcome back Kcoday Radio program.
Oh all right, well, let's let's handle this. And let me preface
this by saying I don't I don't know that it's real. I don't know
that it's not real. I will say, in watching it, I didn't
get any immediate from the women actor vibes. But also they're not doing much
ross. Where are you at on this, by the way, do you
think it's real or not real? I'm leaning more towards real. Yeah,
Like because I study. I watched a couple of times, and I study
the faces of the women, and they look like genuine emotions. And you
know, if it's just one or two people, you can be like,
oh, you know, pretty good actor. But but also we live in
the land of stupid. So what was what was? What was put on?
What was leaked on the internet is reported to be a zoom meeting of
an office. I believe. I saw it described as a marketing boutique marketing
office. But then somebody said no, and and and I don't know that
means said yeah, yeah, generally when I you know, when you deal
with marketing, we deal with marketing agencies there, they tend they tend to
have a lot of women the work. I think the the two main agency
reps that I'm dealing with for some clients right now are both women so but
like this is that on steroids and crack because apparently they needed both. It's
like it's like Stepford Wives, Right, how much do you ross? How
much you bet that that in that company if in fact it's one hundred percent
real? Uh, Somewhere in their value statement talks about diversity. I'll bet
it. I'll bet it is flush with diversity stuff. But that's a sorority
man, which, hey, that's fine, you know whatever. But but
in this case, it's not about all of the women. It's about one
and almost two of the women who is in an intern there. And what
you got to know is they're having a meeting. Whoever's in charge is like,
hey, noticed some really expensive tickets or something was purchased on the company
credit card. And you also need to know that this company is planning a
company vacation excursion whatever in Saint Lucia, which is very nice for twenty twenty
four. And apparently the intern or one of the interns, because it looks
like there's two of them, has been handling some of the logistics. Now
from there, that's the setup. Here we go, and there's some there's
some zingers in here. So I'll stop and we need to. But let's
do this, Yanny, I'd asked for you to research some Coco retreat options
for twenty twenty four. I noticed a credit card charge for two flights to
Saint Lucia for December, and I'm just curious of what that is, Okay,
all right? So yeah, hey, well why'd you why is this
purchase to Saint Lucia. And I don't know which airline, which class,
but I did. I did look up a couple flights to Saint Lucia first
class during peak season, which is what you know you're in. That's gonna
stand out. Okay, all right, so back to the intern. Explain
yourself, lady. I mean, that's just so that we can go and
scout before we actually have the retreat and make sure that it's like the vibe.
And you know, I mean it looks like the vibe. How will
we know unless we've gone ourselves? You know, who's we? Well,
so Anna thought it was a really good idea to come with so that she
could get some content. And Anna shaking her head, by the way,
and again I understand why people think this might not be real, especially kind
of this part right here, because she's so confident in explaining when normal people
would be counting a little, you know, but I also think leased on
her other statements. The reason that she's normal is because she genuinely feel that
what she did was appropriate. Get some b roll and make it. You
know, it's not just like a fun trip, like we're obviously going to
be working and like, yes, it's in the Caribbean, but it's like
we're going to be taking photos and videos and like obviously working, right,
So you don't see how booking to first class it gets to Saint Lucia.
It's a massive waste of company money. I don't know that I would say
massive. I mean it's like, how would we not get first class?
I just confused, Like how would you fly to Saint Lucia. Okay,
so let's go ahead and schedule one on one after this meeting. I don't
feel like it's appropriate to kind of dive into this further. And what a
kind of horrible decision that this was on your part. So let's schedule one
on one for later today and we can kind of dive into this further.
The part that killed me, and really why it made the cut is her
perplexed, her perplexed response to would we not? I mean, would we
not fly first class? We're going to Saint Lucia. Granted it's not even
this isn't even the retreat. This is the dry run. So we can
take some photos, but it's work. Of course. You know, when
you're on vacation, you also take a thousand photos. So this is the
one tension of that, that's the one that's the one part of it that
makes me think it might not be true because it's so perfect it is.
But like how many times have I and you been blown away that something is
real or you know, is as stated just due to the lunacy that we're
surrounded with. But also, look, if she's she's got an internship and
she has I don't know her background, but if she comes from a family
who's literally wouldn't consider flying coach. And you know, this is an agency
that you know, a lot of money. If you're a marketing agency,
there's a certain extravagance, although less so now, that are utilized to schmooze
clients and stuff. I mean, look, you know we're iHeartRadio. We
got it, we got a big footprint, but we put on our whole
independent We do tons of concert series, including you know the one we do
in Vegas, the alt rock one we got a country on. We do
this, but we use that to schmooze clients, and it it you.
You're making people feel appreciated for the business that they do, but that doesn't
extend to the in turn. And Anne who is dying inside while she gets
attached to this. So I don't know, man, I could see it.
I could say I've known people who just the thought would never cross their
mind and not sit up front. I'll sit up front when I can,
if the price is right, or if I can get an upgrade. But
you know there's people who won't go on a plane if they can't get upfront.
I've traveled with them, and I'm like, this is the perfect flight
for what we're going to do. Yeah, but there's no there's nothing left
in business. Oh okay, so you want to go with the one that's
the stupidest based on our current plans. So you can say, yes,
all right, well we won't be traveling, but well i'll meet you there.
You're right at that point. Oh it's so dumb. All right,
here we go seven forty four raced Agic Weather Channel morning. Oh dude,
I was hoping my voice. I bet the under hundred percent. You bet
the under. Well, you're a smart man, and at halftime you have
lost, right, Yeah, wow, that was something else. I mean,
look justin Herbert's not in yep. Receivers out too, right, Williams.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got you got all sorts
of issues. But you know, I'll fire the coach maybe I don't,
you know, I honestly I don't know about the Chargers, but I knew
that that was damned embarrassing. And I stopped watching after a while. Okay,
but you know the next the very next NFL game, uh, game
of the week. You know this right, uh, very next NFL game
Saturday, Saturday, three games Saturday. First game is Vikings Bengals one o'clock.
Come on, man, yeah, hey, you're still to the right
of the screen in the hunt seven and six they versus seven and six.
And I got the deal with Ross where we're gonna beat the Mangles and then
they're gonna mess you up. So yeah, boom, loving that you got
the home field. The Bills got the home field three and a half.
It looks like last I checked Adult Day gonna make a phone call. They're
getting three and a half? Are they're giving three? Thought I thought they
were favored three and a half bills. No, I'd have to look at
it. I have to next hour to Okay, all right, we'll listen
to gamble on our own time. But for now, weather, right,
yeah, I mean just Sunday looks messy, bad, gusty winds, maybe
to thirty plus miles an hour, rain, heavy at times, rain into
Sunday night, maybe some thunderstorms to potentially some stronger storms. So multiple inches
of rain are possible, that's the forecast right now. And strong winds which
could cause some minor damage, maybe some spotty power outages. It's gonna have
the sound and look of everything that should have a name on it, but
it's not going to could rival some of the lowest pressures we've had to further
a storm in the month of December, as it could get down to nine
hundred and eighty million bars, maybe into the nine seventies, And if that
does happen, there's gonna be some erasing being done in some of the record
books for how strong this storm will get. So enjoy today and tomorrow.
Lots of sunshine around and mild near sixty tryad may stay in the mid upper
part of the fifties. And then on Sunday it'll be rain. The impacts
for the Panthers game right on in through Sunday night. That is going to
be pretty nasty. If you get a chance of view it on TV or
if you are going to the game, prep for rain and wind. Also,
secure loose objects. I mean, casey, all those nice Christmas decorations
everybody has outdoors maybe blowing around town and around your neighborhood. So if you
didn't have a reindeer in your neighborhood by Monday morning, you might have one,
or you might have a whole heard of them. Yeah, so look
or the giant the giant snoopy inflatable, Yes, the inflatable snoopy. So
you may see things in your yard that maybe you didn't really have. So
I'd say secure loose objects quite nicely. I mean, yeah, finders keepers,
man, it's rights that son Ross got the hinge, so boom,
we don't know nothing. By the way, your fake news, I knew
you were fake news. I knew there was no way the bills were giving
three, let alone three and a half. You know, it opened a
two and a half and then the money went to you, and so now
it's a two so or the money. Well they're still favored, which I
was surprised. I mean, I know it's home two half and three and
a half are like night and day. Man, Yeah, I know,
but still all right, all right, I can get in, get in
that action. Okay, all right, well you go, you go.
You know that, do you guys? Look, I'm gonna go secure my
goose objects, you get a second mortgage out, put it all on whomever.
Let us know how it goes. Okay, all right, when you
go away. If I'm not here when you get back in January, that's
what happened. So either you won so much you retired, or you lost
and your wife killed. Right, Okay, exactly good. I will make
a note, thank you, sir. We're talking it all right. There
you go. Race Stagic from the Weather Channel, Living Dangerously. Coming up
eight oh five, we'll chat with Pete Calendar. Obviously, we got lots
to get into with tomorrow being the filing deadline for candidates and all of the
intry it has brought, and we'll do that coming up Cacoday Radio program that
show after the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Cacoday for the podcast
on the iHeart Radio app. Oh, you know what that's as I should
have read the whole story. It's just sharing this little nugget with Ross.
So the state of New Mexico has has come up with a new way to
try to crack down or at the very least identify opportunities to provide, you
know, services for kids who want to quit using drugs. And the way
that they decided to find where their customers are going to be is a program
that tests the water being discharged from the high schools. And first up,
Albuquerque, the largest district in New Mexico. And you know, if you
didn't want to know, maybe you shouldn't ask. It's bonkers. So they
tested the high schools in Albuquerque, and every single one of them had drugs,
which is not surprising, right you get enough kids somewhere, teachers for
that matter, and also, as you find out, doesn't mean it's necessarily
an illegal drug. I'll explain in a moment. However, one school was
above all others, and they it was crazy as they didn't identify what high
school it was, which I don't understand how that's helped. I guess maybe
they're going to But each school tested at least eight eleven opioids and or of
markers of opioids, fentanyl in a quarter of the schools the number one drug
cocaine, and at one school basically it's the highest school testing life level of
cocaine. And when they say adderall, but if you read the article,
the adderall is indistinguishable in the test from meth, so it could be meth
too, which I was wondering when I because I like, didn't they they
had a guy who was selling meth there and I didn't know if he went
out of business or what. But yeah, so I guess what the kids
are on the adderall the teachers are on the meth or vice versa. I
don't know, but I think that they were blown away. Fifteen of the
twenty four schools identified as having higher numbers that were higher than expected, but
far and away the number one drug cocaine. So there you go, which
I don't. I guess I don't remember, and maybe it's thrown up why
I don't remember. Even the kids that we considered the druggies doing a lot
of cocaine, right, I'm talking when you when you get away from the
kids when I was in school, who were just you know, with smoke,
pot whatever. But like the people used drugs, it was more hallucinogenics.
But maybe it's because they have access to those mushrooms quite easily out there.
And and then meth. Yeah, lots of myth. But all right,
so they're gonna test the others. I don't I don't know, what
do you do? Man? Everyone everyone's just on it, you know what.
They Although I didn't think it was funny. The one thing they said
that they they didn't find as much in schools as they thought they were is
illegal growth hormone stuff. Yeah, basically kids juicing. So and I think
I didn't look up the record of their schools, but you could probably figure
out which is which based on how their sports teams do. I know,
that's horrible. I am a horrible person, but you tune in for it.
CNN's got themselves scoop that's right. Senior editor at Huffington Post inspired CNN
to go out and investigate after Lewis alleged that the largest credit union in the
nation rejected more than half of its black conventional mortgage applicants. That, by
the way, the largest credit union is Navy Federal Credit Union. Yes,
yeah, so the one our soldiers, marines and sailors and everybody is using.
But so they do this whole story, and they said deep analysis by
CNN found the black applicants to Navy Federal were more than twice as likely to
denied as white applicants, and in a statement, the spokesperson for Navy Federal
said, CNN's analysis does not accurately reflect our practices because it doesn't account for
major criteria required by any financial institution to approve a mortgage. So CNN said
they looked for commonalities of factors, but only commonalities were like rank, you
know, like job, but they didn't ask They didn't factor in credit score,
available cash, and relationship history at the lenders. So once again CNN
out doing CNN stuff because that's what CNN do. Wow, I mean,
credit score, which you know obviously would be the big thing, was not
even included in their analysis. This is garbage, man, and you're letting
hulping them post hear the train on. That should be embarrassed, absolutely embarrassed.
All right, Hang out all right, good morning everybody, and welcome
it is finally here d one more hour, one more hour. And to
help us do it, Pet Calender Radio Body to the South, Midday's WBT.
And how you doing today, sir? What's up? I'm uh,
I'm doing. I'm doing all right. I don't feel a little I don't
know, weird. I ate it a place called Sushi nine up in Raleigh
area. Yeah, I hear, it's it's it's good. It's over by
NC State there. Yeah, you know, except except for like two hundred
and forty one of the customers. But you know, yeah, but I
get sushi every now and then, and yeah, see, I don't know
enough about sushi, and nor have I ever cared to learn. So the
only time I ever try it or eat it is if I end up going
out to eat someplace with somebody who does know sushi, and then I just
ask them, you know, what, what is this? What is that?
And yeah, that's it. But I just, yeah, I don't.
I don't devote a lot of brain power to learning all of the different
kinds of sushi and such. Yeah, no, no, no, no,
let me be a buntantly clear sushi summi a I am not, but
you want a soft shell crab roll and then the spicy tuna or the fatty
tuna role. I mean, that's all I need to know, and that's
all I want. So but yeah, I'm a simple man. Yeah,
okay, all right, Well that's good. When did the various cities and
communities and counties in North Carolina? When did they get a seat at the
ceasefire negotiation table? I think all of the I want to be I want
to be clear here. I think all of these things that councils and county
boards and school boards do when it's clearly not under their purview, whether it
is to the right or to the left, is immensely stupid. Yet one
hundred and three people came in to scream at the Raleigh City Council the other
day, and then it happened to you guys. So yeah, yeah,
Well, and they apparently have this idea, yeah, that the Charlotte City
Council can actually tell Israel to stop prosecuting a war. I was unaware that
they had that authority. Look, I used to cover Charlotte City Council meetings
for a decade as a reporter, and I never remember ever seeing any kind
of Israeli officials coming to town to talk about their foreign or domestic policy.
Now, maybe I just missed it, but I never Yeah, I never.
I never knew that we had that kind of authority. I know,
we have sister cities, do you guys probably have a couple of sister cities,
you know, Yeah, yeah, but I was alive we have a
sister city in Israel I. Guess we just have the whole country. I
don't know. Yeah, So the the pro Palestinian folks who are remarkably there's
like a I'm sure Kamala Harris could give us the ven diagram of the pro
Palestinian activists and the anti file leftist anarchy LARPer Commi activists, because there's probably
a lot of overlation. Probably there's a lot of overlap there. Right,
And so they show up, and they actually showed up a couple of weeks
ago, but they did not sign up ahead of time, so they ended
up not getting on the list for the public comment period because they limited it,
and so they didn't get on those they'd made everyone get a minute,
even if they were there for something else. So yeah, right, so
you had all of these activists that were in the audience with their signs,
and they couldn't get to speak because you know, people were commenting about the
the animal shelter and the Historical Commission, like all of these things that city
councils don't even have it and they don't bother with that stuff. They're too
busy doing the Israeli international policy. But they so they came back and then
they shouted down Jews and the city council and the mayor just just Jews in
like at all, I mean, like all the Jews they shouted all them,
or Jews that were in the audience, Jews that spoke. Okay,
all right, that's what I right. Well, because remember we have to
we have to qualify when you express your hatred for Jews, including up to
the tennis side, we have to qualify that. I learned this by watching
three brilliant women explain it to me, and really you need action at that
point. So, by the way, is it possible that the president of
Harvard quoting gay? Is it possible that she was just copying the answers from
the other two presidents, And really she shouldn't be held accountable for like plagiarizing
their answers. No, I see what you did there, But I want
to go on record that I claim she was copying the day you know,
the day after when we played the audio of the three and I'm real,
they're not even bothering to come up with their own answers. So either they
coordinated or the next two just went yeah, what she said sounds fine,
Yeah, yeah, and pop through with that. So but you know,
you are always a step ahead, Casey, that's the thing about you.
You're always a step ahead. Was inadvertently right, because I was even thinking
of the multiple instances of what would be you're thrown out of Harvard style potential,
uh, you know, thievery of work. But hey, what do
I know, Man, I'm not I'm not the president of Harvard. Well
right, well, I mean nobody knew about these plagiarism charges. Well,
I mean except Harvard, of course, they were actually already investigating while this
was going on. And then when the news broke, we got a couple
of different examples of it. And the kicker on all of it is that
you know, Harvard is going to keep her around. But like, first
off, she was not a prolific producer of academic work. Right, she
only made she only did like eleven published papers or something over her career,
which is yeah, and she didn't even hit what is the average number for
a tenured professor, and she is both that and the head of Harvard.
So it's an amazing story. Yes, yeah, Like most professors are cranking
out like eleven a year or something like that, or eleven every two years
or every semester or whatever, like, way more than what she did.
And then we find out that half of them contained plagiarized passages without citation,
no quotes and stuff, and one of them was apparently her dissertation, which
that was back in nineteen ninety seven. And back then, like you actually
had to you had to you had to transcribe something, right, You couldn't
go in ninety seven. You were not going onto the internet and copying and
pasting and just slapping stuff in and oh, I forgot to attribute this do?
You had to actually have the physical paper in front of you, and
then you had to type it all out, reading what they had and putting
it into your paper. Well, that was that was a different time,
Pete. It couldn't be intentional in your stealing. Yes, in your thievery
that I'm telling you. The biggest indicator that we're continuing to go over the
ledge is the continued closing of the gap where it's acceptable to say, well,
that was a different time in the same way you were. You'd be
referring to the Middle Ages or sixties in Deep South right up. Now they
say it. Now they're saying it about times when I was an adult,
and I'm not happy about Yeah, I know, I know the feeling.
Jeez, that was my senior year in high school. Son, craziness.
Man, All right, are you now you? Are you working next week?
Is that? Is that what I'm understand? Yeah? I work next
week? Okay, I work a lot. Actually next week I'm working more
than I usually work. Next week. Look at you two earlier, guy,
I was gonna invite you. I'm gonna what I was gonna do is
I'm gonna organize a little mini gathering. We're all gonna do mescalin and watch
the White House Christmas video. You want to know. Yeah, very fear
and loathing. It'll be a fear and loathing in Las Vegas themed thing.
So I have not yet had a chance to view it. I've seen some
people commenting about it, but I have not yet watched it, and so
but I do intend to, you know, drop some some LSD and check
it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, this thing's the thing's
uh. And then what you want to do is I think you want to
start pink Floyd or something. I can't remember the mix, but right,
yea, yeah, we set it up so at the opening credits that you
started at the same yeah, at the same time. Now helped me because
I see this is on Pete sends the list of stuff that he's talking about.
So if we got stuff that coincides, I like to get to it.
And and it's this is trickier because it is Harvard adjacent the city of
Boston. So the Mayor's office does the no Whites Christmas meeting. They accidentally
invite the seven of the thirteen that are white. Then they're like, whoopsie,
didn't mean to invite you. Except ye, the mayor is Asian.
You understand, we're married to a white dude and married to a white dude.
And as I learned just you know, twenty miles down the road from
Harvard, Asians are white adjacent. So right, how was she able to
go to her own party. Man, I don't know, I don't Yeah,
I mean she is as white adjacent as one can be, right,
I mean yeah, first off, Asian, secondly married to a white person.
There's adjacency there, like to physical adjacency. So I don't understand,
like what so what if there's a what they were calling it the electeds of
color that were I didn't know if I should say it Ross and I had
a conversation before I did the thing because I felt it feels like something you
shouldn't say, right, doesn't it well? Because see this is now we
are showing our age right where the I mean I was talking about this yesterday,
actually the NAACP like we it seems like we're coming full circle back around
to to language that was deemed to be offensive at some point in our lifetimes.
Right where they say, you don't say these words anymore. You don't,
you don't stack the words in this order. Uh, and you've got
to move on to something else. Right then it became African American, and
you know, and then black and then capitalized to be with the black,
and then you know, not the w with the whites, and like now
we're coming back, I guess to this thing people of color, which is
sort of along the same lines as like you don't say, uh uh,
you know, people who have a condition, they you don't call them the
condition, right, you say people with anxiety or with whatever, like experiencing
homelessness or houselessness. I believe is the case the unhoused, right, right.
So it's it's this sanitizing of the language in order to, you know,
protect people's feelings and like find like every example you can argue back and
forth on. But I kind of feel like we're coming around full circle.
Like I can see this territory looks kind of familiar where we're getting into electeds
of color. But I find it amazing that they say, look, we
do these things all the time. So apparently they've been having the segregated Christmas
sorry, holiday parties. You can't they're not Christmas parties, they're just holiday
and don't know what holiday, but they're having any segregated holiday parties. And
when they came out and did the clean up, oh, we're so sorry,
our bad, my mistake, And they didn't apologize for holding a holiday
party where no whites are allowed. They apologized for sending the invitation to the
white people, like, oh, that's our bead. Sorry if we offended
anybody, And they're talking about the white people, they're talking about the electeds
of color being offended that white folk got invited to a holiday party where they
weren't supposed to. So I guess now, uh, white whites only Christmas
parties they're allowed? Now, am I understanding the rules? The standards?
Now? Is that that? I mean you you can if you want to
try that and let us know how it goes. We're we'll watch. But
yeah, I wouldn't want to be the test case there the right. The
problem is this is so destruptive for a society that relies on a high level
of trust for people to uh to for people to live and commiserate in because
uh, you all you're doing is swapping out one form of discrimination you're for
another, and you are, uh, you're encouraging this kind of prejudice and
this kind of distrust. It's just it's so damaging. It's rot. It's
a it's a cancerous rot inside of the society. And I would I would
no more support a whites only club like Sheldon white House attends. Uh,
in Rhode Island. I would know no more support that than I want to
support this. Uh. The problem is we have an inconsistent application of standards
because it advances a particular progressive agenda at the moment. Now, in the
future, it may all go in one hundred and eighty degree different direction,
right, because it's whatever the left needs at the given moment in order to
advance its agenda. And that's what this is doing, and it is so
destructive. Ross. I'm sorry, Ross, Will you put the Corey Bush
audio up real quick, because well, look, you want to talk about
one hundred and eighty degrees. I know that you're familiar with this audio.
But with the squad, they're holding their pressor and I won't even torture you
with other members of the squad, just the Angarry Bush cut, because some
would argue that what she's advocating and explaining is the way it is to be.
Is in fact all one hundred and eighty degrees of what we've had beat
into our brains with words or violence and everything on college campuses for ten fifteen
years. Now here it is. By the way, we also can't conflate
the criticism of Israel the Israeli government with anti Semitism. And we also have
to stop with the words. It's this word, you said that word,
you said this word. It hurt me. Well, how much hurt do
people feel when the bombs hit them? Like that's what I'm worried about.
This word hurt me. You use this word? Well, well a word
was used, but you are safe. I mean the lack of self awareness
is right? Right? Well yeah, and this right, this is the
point and this is what to bring it back to the Harvard testimony and of
the mi T and Upen testimony for these presidents, this is what was exposed.
It's not right. It wasn't that there's specifically a double standard. I
mean there is, but there, as Noah Ropman pointed out in one of
his essays at National Review, that there is there is a single standard,
and the single standard is that the rules are applied differently for people on the
right, for people that are conservatives who have been under these types of pro
these speech prohibitions for years on college campuses. Anybody tries to go on to
a campus and do a presentation, do a speech that gets shouted down and
you get a mob outside and all this and now all of a sudden,
Jewish people are being targeted in the same manner, and all of a sudden,
it's like, well, maybe these rules were a bit much or whatever,
and it's focusing people on this rule that the left has in place on
college campuses and into corporations as well. Right, this was their standard operating
procedure. Words are violence and all that garbage, and we were mocking it
for years, and now all of a sudden, tables have turned No,
this is your standard. This is what you've been saying. We are applying
it to you. And now they don't like it, which is what I
always warned them. You're not going to like the standard when it's applied to
you. All right, real quick, we have just about a minute ten
filing nothing unexpected. Yes, say Wiley Nichols decided he's gonna be the Tom
Tillis killer in twenty twenty six. I guess, well, yeah, I
Tillis runs. But also, and I saw you pointed out the first thought
that popped into my head, and that is unfortunately for Wiley Nicol, He's
not probably ticking enough boxes. If others get into it. Thirty seconds,
what say you eat? No, I'm just very worried that, you know,
for Wiley that he has announced two years ahead of time. But he
may rack up all the endorsements, but if Sherry Beasley jumps into the race,
he's gonna have to get out again. I mean, that is the
rule, Jeff Jackson rule. Yeah, yeah, all right, Hey,
I appreciate it. Have yourself even if you're you're gonna be working a bunch
a wonderful bit of holiday season. Christmas, New Year's all that, and
we'll touch base in the new Year. All right, buddy, I appreciate
it. Merry Christmas, have been New Year to you, your listeners and
and even Ross. Oh okay, all right, well that was very nice.
Pete Calender, kc O Day Radio program, Hang on KCO Day Radio
program. Dang man, we got like, what twenty one minutes, twenty
two minutes, not that I'm you know, not that I'm watching the clock.
By the way, you know, if you listen to the show,
we're not a fan of murder bots in the direction all this stuff's going,
however, you at least need to be accurate. I saw people sharing this
story about Israel using an AI system to you know, to find hamas and
kill them. People are they are using AI technology, but they're using it
in satellite analysis, and then humans then have to make the decision. Again.
You know how we feel about the AI round these parts. It's just
a matter of time. Right that being said, the next step that we've
talked about, and we've talked about it in the capacity with the US military
is the idea that they could have drones that make shoot don't shoot decisions.
And if you remember we shared a I would say it's a practice, but
a situational thing that was run where the AI got mad because the human boss
wouldn't let them engage targets that I wanted to because it's driving its top tier
programming. What it was told it is to do is to find the enemy
and kill it. So if it feels that you're in the way of its
mission, you get what you saw in the scenario that was described by the
general who gave that speech and where it says, all right, well,
if I'm going to accomplish my mission, I need to eliminate hurdles, and
the hurdles turned out to be the operator. Now again, it wasn't real,
nothing was in the air, no weapons were on but it was being
you know, it was a digital exercise and it didn't go well. But
the only reason I'm telling you about the one is because people are saying it's
doing it's finding them and then on its own making decisions whether to fire.
That's not true. But what is true is Israel named the weapon the Gospel,
which I don't know. Man. Look, we got all sorts of
weapons with cute names, that the bunker buster, the moab, what's the
one where it's the the ninja blades spin out of the thing, which,
by the way, they've used that a few times and it has been very
effective in limiting, outside of a very small radius, the potential for non
combatants to get hurt. That seems to be operating as as intended. But
the Gospel, okay uh. And then of course the rest of the articles,
all people were like, you know, Israel shouldn't exist. They don't.
They don't actually say it, but you're getting big vibes when when reviewing
reviewing that portion of it, All right, we got to talk because this
is a little this is some of this is going to go into the AI,
but there's a few things that need to be mentioned. So every year
one of the big purveyors of adult content that is generally accessible for free,
so it is very popular. They put out their data from the year and
you know, they who who are the top people? They're searching for which
states spend the most time consuming this our adult product and uh lo and behold,
North Carolina, you're number four. Yep, yep, yep, yep,
number four in the nation, behind Maryland, Rhode Island, and New
Jersey, all right around eleven minutes or so. Uh. But yeah,
yeah, there's a whole lot of states in the Bible Belt that are all
up on this, although there are some that are not. Virginia and West
Virginia are the least along with Montana Wyoming. You tied. Well, that's
because if look, if you if you're distracted for nine minutes, you'd be
dead. Man. It's some critters easier staring at a screen doing whatever and
uh and then boom. But where it gets creepyst is oh in that park?
Okay, well, I know what it is. So what do you
think the fastest growing Oh my gosh, the fastest growing subject section of adult
products year over year growth was what category? What creepiness? And by the
way, it jumped, according to the site, over sixteen hundred times from
last year to this year. That'd be adult companion bots sex bots man,
So I don't know. Every time somebody's like ah, sodom and Gomora kinda
but with a bit of Isaac Asimov mixed in, I guess. So,
yeah, there's a bunch of other stuff, but I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna break it all down for you. But North Carolina, North Carolina getting
high ranking and the use, and also everyone's infatuated with adult robots, which
again I don't understand. I mean, obviously we mentioned them on the show,
but it's not because we're waiting on our custom build to come in.
So I wonder if it's just people that are curious and bored, maybe bored
as well. All right, are you a mourning person? Well, if
you are, new research says you likely have Neanderthal genes to thank for it.
So they did DNA compare DNA of living humans to the genetic material.
We're able to track some of that back and lo and behold, the people
who show traces of Neanderthal DNA are more likely to be mourning people. And
then they don't really explain why so, But I just thought if you're one
of those. Look Ross and I do morning radio, I don't know that
I I wouldn't consider myself a morning person, would you, Ross? I
don't know, maybe because it's no, not at all. So apparently we're
we're we're not Neanderthals like I remember, like what twelve years ago whatever,
starting and being like going from the night shift to the morning shift. Oh
yeah, oh my god, it's miserable. I can't wait until one day
I'll wake up and this will be normal. That normal never came. No,
I've been I've been doing mornings since eight no now. But we did
have a couple of bubbly, like obnoxiously bubbly guys over on the sports station.
I'm like, what is wrong with you? But it's but one is
a former NFL player, so uh that that tracks why he'd have Neanderthal DNA,
because that dude is uh he could take stagic I think former former center
for the Minnesota Vikings and stat long snapper. Yeah uh huh yeah. Probably
Look you're my boy, but you know yeah m hm he uh. There's
a day in time, right, and if you want to get him going
he's the guy who held Gary Anderson's kick. You know, the kick that
was a long time ago, though, wasn't it. Oh yeah, not
a Vikings fans mind, it's not No, that was yesterday. So yeah,
that was yesterday. Yeah, And so he hates that because they're like
because like or not even the one who held I'm sorry, he's the one
who snapped. And then there were some people that were trying to blame it
for a high snap. But it's clearly and he'll show you the video and
point out other videos. He's he's he's got the data to defend himself.
You like it. I wish there are days I wish I had the size
I have now when I was playing, because I couldn't put on You remember
when you were younger and you could put on weight if you tried. Oh
yeah, I was very young. I was a big, tall kid,
yep, and so I was heavier and it allowed me actually to be bigger
than the kids for about a year and most of the other kids for about
a year. But as soon as they caught up in football, I'm like,
I'm gonna put on some weight and I couldn't do it. Now I
cannot, so what are you gonna do? But yeah, I know it's
crazy. I mean they listed me in college like at two thirty. I
was like, yeah, that was probably with all my pads on. I
wish I was actually two thirty. But anyway, we digress. AnyWho.
All right, so final chat. Yeah, of the year, so let's
go uh, let's go uh sunny mid seventies golf weather close. Oh,
two days sixty for this time of year means seventy. That's how how about
that? I mean when it's sixty in December, Yeah, sixty will be
the new seventy today and tomorrow your golf days. I mean, the mornings
will be a little chilly, but I mean it's not terrible for mid December.
You know what you're gonna get. And this is real nice because it's
really gonna go downhill pretty quickly and maybe in some cases badly for Sunday and
Sunday night, especially with heavy rain strong winds. The winds could gus thirty
plus. I wouldn't be shocked if we get tropical storm force win gusts,
depending exactly where the low is and how strong it is, So that is
gonna be the worst of it. And then Monday, we'll see a return
to sunshine. It's still in the fifties. We'll probably drop a little bit
Tuesday into the mid forties before we warm up again next week. So I
think most of next week is going to be real nice. You don't need
to be here. I don't need to be here, but I will.
And I am taking the Dallas Cowboys by seven at least by one touchdown on
Sunday. Okay, all right, you heard it ever, and oh I'm
sorry. We were going to say. I was gonna say, have a
good Christmas, happy New Year, all that stuff, and right right right
right, well, okay, well you'll know what's going to happen based on
how the Vikings do tomorrow, so doo and I do read email, so
feel free, okay, all right, well, thank you sir. All
right, man as to you. There you go, race Stagic and we'll
check in Joan Donager. She's in for Bloomberg next. Hang on smart Talk
all day ninety four or five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM
talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning and creeping up on eight
fifty three, your Bloomberg Update now with Joan Donnegher joan, what's going on,
Well, it sounds like it's a case of what have you done for
me lately. Pfizer, whose COVID vaccine helped restart the world's activity during the
pandemic, now is pulling back on some of its research programs, and the
Wall Street Journal says Pfizer will lay off staff. It's because it overestimated the
sales of its pandemic related products. They dried up faster than the company expected.
Its other products aren't making up for that. Maderna, too has seen
a sharp drop for its COVID vaccine sales. Layoffs in another big name company,
General Motors, cutting more than thirteen hundred hourly jobs at two plants in
Michigan, less than a month after the union workforce ratified the new labor contract
with the carmaker, which did commit to substantial wage hikes to raise pay rates.
Cut back when the company was in big trouble in the two thousand and
eight two thousand and nine financial crisis. Google making a major privacy move.
Of three months ago, a Bloomberg BusinessWeek investigation found police across the country were
increasingly using warrants to get location and search data from Google, even in cases
of nonviolent crimes, and even for people who had nothing to do with any
crime. Now, Google is changing its maps tools so location data will be
saved directly to people's devices. Google won't be able to see it. Therefore,
it won't be able to turn anything over if police ask for it.
Convenience stores, it turns out, are not just for convenient stops. The
Wall Street Journal says they make big money selling food. That's why so many
of them are expanding their menus and food counters. Food service sales make up
about a quarter of instore sales but over a third of in store gross profits.
The profit margin for gasoline only about ten percent. You stop into a
Circle K, you can even get bean to cup coffee from coffee machines and
more localized menu items. Lower shipping costs are lowering prices for things like furniture
and TVs at Costco, but the company says there are no giant trends where
food is concerned. In that case, some prices are falling, others are
not. Market Watch says though Costco's CEO is offering the most important thing,
the pie count Casey. He says the number of its enormous pumpkin pies sold
in the three days before Thanksgiving came to two point nine million. I saw
that yesterday. I'm not a I don't like pie. I'm not a sweet
person. But yeah, you're lucky. That thing does look good man,
So it is. It's wonderful. Oh my gosh, I can testimonialize for
you all. We do that every year. Yeah, yeah, well year
you want to make sure that the quality control is maintained. It's the same
every year. It's like when everyone girl Scout cookies started not tasting like they
used to. Yeah, yeah, was that the the what is it?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all
right. Well now I'm hungry, so thank you for that. But any
time. Yeah, and uh we're we're we're off till January second, so
uh we will not be chatting with you next week. Okay. Oh well,
Jeff will be back next week. I will tell him this and you
all have a good holiday. Okay, all right, well we did,
but yeah, I just remind him and you too. Thank you, Joan,
Okay, thank you. All right, there you go. Joan Donagher
from Bloomberg News. All right, couple little nuggets here, real quick.
By the way we started, we got into a little minor football discussion earlier,
and then it turned into a bit of Taylor Swift stuff. I did
you see the did you see that they are? They've announced the NFL's announced
that next year they're going to, uh, they're gonna ban like what's known
as the hip drop tackle. All right, So, and basically it's you're
you're a defensive player, you wrap your hands around the running back or whoever's
got the balls hips and at the same time, you're using the entirety of
your body weight as a pulldown method to get the player on the ground,
on the ground while kind of rolling over on them, or as I saw
it, tackling, right did I I understand this is radio and you can't
see it, but what I just described sounds like tackling, right. Well,
a lot of a lot of X players are speaking up and pointing out,
yeah, yeah, that's that's one step closer. Here we go Ravens
tight end Mark Andrews, who is a proficient HIC proficient in getting tackled with
the hip tackle. Basically, it's offense against defense. Guys here, but
you know, saying that it's moving closer to a flag. Football is probably
not inaccurate. I don't know. If you want people to get injured less
and that's your goal, maybe start with the turf. How many injuries were
turf related this year of big time players? A lot of them, A
lot of big time players. Two of the Vikings injuries. Do you guys
have any turf injuries playing the Jets? Tons of them? Yeah? Yeah,
yeah, you had like five or something right in that first game,
the one that you lost, did you? And then the Eagles loss Goddard,
who is you know, he's not their biggest offensive weapon, but that's
a big deal. If you're one of the top tier teams, you're stud
tight end. So yeah, they're going to continue to not let Al Michael's
broadcast playoff games because he said something that wasn't even that mean about Taylor Swift,
and now they want to not have you tackle in what is a very
classic tackling method. And I, for one, as somebody played linebacker in
high school, looks like what I tried to do. I just wasn't obviously
as good as these guys. Because here I am talking to you, all
right, and we'll talk to you again. January second, not fired,
but now on Vacan
