All right, good morning everybody, and happy end of the world. Ice
frozen like that? What was the movie where everyone was snap freezing? And
then they're like, this is the least technically accurate science fiction movie ever.
The end of Something right was that the day after Tomorrow, Day after Tomorrow.
Yeah, and then some guys like hold my beer and wrote the core,
So which has to win, as we've mentioned before, but is close
maybe, I guess. I don't know. I have some questions. I'm
going to I'm gonna take some grief for this. I always do because people
are like, they're serious when they go the kids, like in the sarcastic
way that Ross and I do, because we're also concerned about the kids.
Ross has a kid, so like skin in the game. But also,
I'm not a monster, and I want kids to develop skills that later in
life allow them to survive like functional adults and not be giant moonbats. But
I'll just I'll go for functionality. So with that in mind, are there
schools on delay because it's chilly out, somebody's gonna get mad, right,
They're gonna call, They're gonna explain that the specifics of it. Are there
schools on delay because it's because that's what it says here. Yeah, we
got the notification last night. Markey and I are both leg you know,
my market my wife. We were like what are you? What is going
on here? Like why? And she's not from a cold weather place,
right, She's from Tennessee and Georgia. Okay, well some parts of Tennessee
get little chili sho I don't know. But but still are they afraid the
pipes and the bus are gonna burst and cover the kids? And anti freeze?
Is that what you want? No, obviously there's a blizzard. So
what time is the blizzard? Do you have? I don't have that.
And when I gotta talk to Ray, did you did you see anything this
morning? Ross was that you were in here earlier doing stuff. So I've
been looking at my weather app there and I don't see any even a chance
of snow here. He his weather app by the way, there it is.
Yeah, the weather window looks clear. Yeah yeah, trees, Yeah,
you can see trees. That's a good indicator you're not in a white
out blizzard. There's a there's a Wyoming Prairie pro tip for you, and
you know how far it is on the Wyoming prairie between trees sometimes. So
I was smart enough to grow up in the mountain area. All right,
So that's the thing. But it's not a thing everywhere, but it's still
a thing. I anything to be safe for the children, they should they
should make it an a synchronous day. Yes, so just for the safety
of the children. Well, but remember that was only that's only uh,
that was for that was temporary. Remember it's for the crisis. This is
an emergency, so weather emergency. Yeah, the trees, they're right there?
Is it? Like? Did I step outside this morning and go right?
Yes? Did I grow up being in insanely cold conditions? Yes,
but I still went h when I went when I went outside, there's the
main main difference today as opposed to other days. Yeah, So typically I
put on my very lightweight and zip up sort of mister Rogers jacket. Remember
when he would get in the house and he'd put on the the other one,
like the small rock. Yes, like that twa switch. Yeah.
I typically wear a blue or red one. Right. Yeah, today I
brought in very heavy hoodie. That's the main difference, because I was like,
oh my god, it's cold, gonna put us I a little heavier
and that was fine, all right, it didn't die. How why do
you want to why do you want to start the day off lion to people?
Why you always gotta be lying? He's wearing Stefan Diggs sweater right now.
It's it's a thing, you know, you this sucks about that because
I saw the big poofy, weird sweater right and they're like, oh,
this is comfy mood. He's in comfy mode, and I I'd like my
head tucked. Yeah, but it was weird because like the sleeves were like
extra poofy or whatever. Like the boie was like really weird. But my
first reaction was I wanted to make like a Cosby sweater joke, and I
can't make a Cosby sweater joke anymore because Bill Cosby. Yeah, I was
gonna go with I pop eye sweater. I thought that was accurate because to
your point, the forearms, yeah yeah. And don't get me wrong,
Stefan Diggs is cut right the professional football player. But that's too roomy.
It's too roomy. And as as a citizenry, who you know really was
weaned on the stylistic choices of Cam Newton, right, It takes a lot
for somebody in North Carolina to look at a professional football player's outfit and go,
what the hell is that? I felt like he was walking in what
is that big fancy thing they do in New York where they all dress up
stupid, like the met Gala is? Yeah, the met gal He's walking
to the met Gala with a big stupid poofy sweater, look like a Third
World flag? Yeah? Yeah, because somebody's always got to do something crazy?
Was it? Do you blame Cam Newton for this? Is this like
an escalation and e evolution of it? I I don't know, man,
I don't know. It's not just Cam Newton. Where else did I see
that dresses? Go? Was it Joe Burrow or somebody who's just like,
I'm like, that's not what I expected you to be wearing. Yeah,
And they always like, oh, he's got I'm like, he looks cringe,
dude, he's got drips. They say that always that they said,
I've never heard that said that he's got dripped or did a Joe that means
you're dripping money? Right, Joe Namas start that with the big member he
wore, Like the what is it like the mink coat or whatever. Well
he did, and then he called a super Bowl and then he tried to
hook up with Susie Coolber live on the air. But you know he's got
drip. What do you got? What are you gonna do? Man?
So all right, well that's uh that, that's that in a nutshell,
but he did. That's a thing. Yeah, I mean I get Rick
Flair gets a pass because of the what it is, right, the NFL
is not your your your your Your place in the NFL is not in part
dictated by the flashiness. You're willing to achieve it when you're not wearing your
norse normal work gear, do you know what I mean? So you know
Rick Flair's in the in the ring right then he's you know, he's wearing
standard wrestling garb eventually, but you know when he's just out talking trash,
talking about having to beat the man and stuff like like hit, the more
Foedora he is, the more appropriate because it's also a work outfit. I
am literally staring at a Rick Flair cardboard cutout in my studio, yes,
and I mean I see nothing inappropriate with what he's wearing. Well, so
you're trying to yeah, it's nothing wrong. It's trying to get you to
gamble and see that it's for the lottery. But all right, whatever,
So happy Wednesday, your children, children won't freeze. Now. All you
gotta do is teach him yourself. Six fifteen hang on smart talk all day
ninety four five w PTI and the Triad and one six one FM talk in
the Triangle and it's it's right in the middle of the city, right right
in like the downtown, like Central Park. And then what interrupts what every
ninety minutes when you get a tour of the facilities there, the cola plant.
Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. How did how did? I can't
He's from Malaysia somewhere else. I'm trying to figure out how some dude on
Twitter who lives in Malaysia became a thought leader and he's Malaysian, right,
He's not just it's just a guy who works over at the at the embassy
or something. Right, Hey, how he became a thought leader in American
politics? That Miles Chong dude. But I don't know, man, Like
I've seen some stuff recently where I just kind of scanned past his stuff.
So yesterday he was baffled by how soda works. Yeah, it's Ian mouths
Chong. If if you're on Guess you know who he is. You see
him all the time. Oh, turn that off. That's one of his
videos playing is looking for the actual U? Yeah, talking about so like
he posted a video it was like, did you guys know this is how
the soda machines work when you go to a restaurant and it shot it's a
video showing the behind of a soda machine and how it's carbonated water and syrup,
right, which I am well aware of because I worked at a movie
theater and I had to redo that stuff and it was a pain in the
ends of the box. You got a box and a bag of syrup in
the box and it's it's it never really seated correctly. This guy was completely
dumbfounded Ian mouth Chong about That's how he was like, did you know that
when you get him drink at a restaurant, it's actually not like the drink
behind there, like there's a big vat of cold you know what I mean.
No, it's the sen it's the Coca cola well, right, which
you have in downtown Atlanta. It's right there outside the factory. Yeah.
Fun fact. Do you know how they discovered how it how it first bubble
and crude came up or in this case Coca Cola tell me random, uh
when remember when Sherman burned it to the ground. Yeah, well they also,
you know, build it in set up camp and said they were pounding
intent spikes like bubble up. It just starts bubbling. Then all of a
sudden, it just starts spraying Coca Cola. Ever, that's just like there
will be blood. It's like so that. But people in the comments here
on X were completely I've never seen him ratio like this before. Everyone was
like, did you never work when you were a tea? It's a common
knowledge, right, Isn't it worked in a movie theater? I knew that.
And everybody's like, anybody with any fast food experience that worked in their
teens probably knows what's behind that soda machine. And he's like, oh no,
my first job I worked at a computer store. I've never worked in
that. I don't care. I don't care. That's not that's not an
excuse. I knew before I ever had to deal with one. And you
know how I find out. I found out too Ross I worked, I
knew, but uh, where I actually had to do it is I worked
at our little movie theater for a little while, but the guy was super
scatchy owned it and he just kind of wouldn't pay us, and they tried
to pay us in movies, which works for a while and then you're out.
So wait, wait is this a true story? That's true story?
Yeah? Wow, yeah, because like you know, he thought I could
open a big theater in this little town that cash flow. Yeah. No,
I did the same thing, and it was a great job when you're
like sixteen fifteen, you know what I mean. It's like free movies.
Now. That's how Coca Cola was founded. If you remember, down in
Newbern, they were shooting at some food, right, and and that's how
the pepsi squirrels. Yeah, just trying to survive, man. Yeah,
it came out just hard scrabble like Joe Biden back in the day. Man,
just you know, just trying to get by crazy world and shooting at
some food and then boom, there you got pepsi. So okay, all
right, these are the people I told you, These are the folks.
I'm sorry. And this look, there's stuff that I somebody explained something to
me and that I feel dumb, like it happens, but it's much more
obscure. Right then, how does sodo work? You catch me on something,
it's probably gonna be something a little weird, right right, Like I
didn't know that, I really didn't. But also why the hell would I
in this case? It's like your kids aren't gonna melt when it's twenty or
or the opposite of it. And uh, soda is syrup. It's a
funny people in the comments where like you do understand that soda is just carbonated
water and syrup, right, like, that's that's what do you think it?
Like you said, do you think it just bubbles up out of the
ground And you're like, I'm gonna bottle this stuff? Yeah? Well,
hey man, the caramel gold hey, you know the the Coca Cola folk,
that's a lot of money, made a lot of money. Now,
RC Cola, that was probably some sort of sewer accident. I'm not really
I start, did you like RC I did? Dude, I'm gonna irritate
some people. I just do. It just tasted like flat soda to me.
Now, the first time I had it was like this is the best
coal I've ever had. Yeah, and I didn't have it until I was
like twenty eight, twenty nine, Like I never had it before. Mark,
He's like, you got don't remember ever seeing it in New York.
Maybe that's I should have waited because it is less sweet. Yeah, I
think that's what it was. I think it was an age thing because he
knows to get older, like you're you're buds change or whatever. Okay,
all right, I don't know, ah it is. It is just one
of the it's one of those weird days. Man. He might even he
might have deleted the damn thing, which I guess I wouldn't. I wouldn't
be surprised. But the other side is the other side is like he's getting
engagement and that's what counts. And you know the Bazooka Joe sweater. Is
that what they were calling Diggs's sweater? If they weren't, they should,
Oh he's a lo lo Look he lived in Minnesota too long, man,
And the interest is just staying warm. The the stuff that people wear is
pretty amazing. All right, hold on, hold on, hold on,
here we go. Oh all right, Jim, what's going on? Hey?
How you doing Jason, I'm doing, sir. The reason I called
you is UH had a little bit of light on the bus situation or the
school situation. I should say it's probably more to do. I used to
work for Almansbor Lincoln school Systems as a driver, and UH, each school
has its own set of buses. There's no mechanics there, so each driver
comes in, they start their bus. And unlike other states in other areas
where they have big companies like First Junion or First Students or other companies,
they're all privately owned by the by the school themselves basically, so if the
buses don't start, buses not start, Sir. I've I've started diesel engines
every day in the worst conditions you could ever think of when I was growing
up. It's just because now I'm going to tell you that there are many
of them that are going to start with no trouble at all. But all
it takes is like one or two of them to not run. And it's
I think the cascading effect that that will affect the whole school, that you'll
have kids coming to school an hour late. I don't think I understand.
I understand some of that, but I and and and I appreciate. I'm
sorry. I'm not pushing back on you. But when they usually try to
explain this, they give you the well, we don't want the kids at
the bus stop in the dark. And it's like, well, then,
yeah, it didn't start starts school, then just make nine o'clock when school
starts. This is not that hard. Well, like you, I come
from the North. I grew up in Connecticut, and I'm a loot quite
a bit older than you. And you know I went to school when it
was twenty degrees. I walked there, you know, so you know the
old joke goes you you walk both ways from phil Oh, look guy,
you did you? Jim? I got to go to break come up against
it. I know, I look understand that there could be some, but
it's they're diesel engines and that's not they'd say, it's because they don't want
them there. And it's like, well it winners every year, and so
is the Dark thank you. Casey is on PTI and the Triad and Talk
and the Triangle. No, it's game on, man. They're putting they're
putting the US military on notice. So following obviously some some pretty high profile
exchanges and stories, including what some have described as indiscriminate bombings of innocent civilians.
The the Hooti rebels have now been going, you know, back and
forth obviously with the US military, and some would argue that from a naval
perspective, they have a little bit of an advantage there, and that's evidence
by they fire crappy missiles that kind of almost maybe one time hit some stuff
and then we just like some dude at one of the piloting centers, the
drone piloting centers out in like Vegas or whatever, you know, he just
hits the red button or whatever, and then that's that. But now the
Houthi rebels have now they have deployed their entire air force to help provide ground
troops or freedom fighters whatever the hell they think they are air support. And
so this thing's escalating. Man. I mean, it's easy to sit there
and go, I'm sorry, the Houti what right? Like I get that
ross much like Miles Chong didn't know where they came from. Yeah, no,
so I should probably retweet that his original tweet too. I'm doing it
this very moment. Hold on, yeah, in a real time, I'm
gonna hear it retweet boom the repost button. No so up. Till like
a few weeks ago, I had never even heard of a Houthie. I'm
like, man, they really like HOODI and Yemen or something. He's like,
really big me there behind the times. No it's not Darius Rucker.
And I'm like, oh man, you thought Darius Rucker was trying to kill
soldiers. I'm like, what is now? I'm like the big fan of
HOODI over there, but I'm like, it's a Hoothi and I this is
so. The news is breaking, and all my brain is saying and processing
is saying, another dumb group of idiots is attacking us and they're gonna get
their ass kicked. I don't care enough to even look into it. I'm
just like, Okay, it's some stupid over there that's attacking us because they're
dumb, and now we're gonna blow them to smithereens and good Have you ever
seen the totality of events that transpired in like six hours when we didn't mean
to quite be that much of a jerk but ended up taking half of Iran's
navy out, and a lot of it was just weird, like where it
never had to happen. Right, they were targeting, they went, they
were going, they had mined an area, right, they had put these
mines everywhere, and and so they're like, all right, and then one
of our ships hit one of those mines, and and by the way,
made it and made it hit them the there's no bottom part of the ship,
and through the quick action of our you know, our navy, these
guys got that thing, you know, patched up whatever. Meanwhile, they're
like, all right, well, we have to be proportional. The problem
was every time they went to do something proportional, these guys would do something
insanely stupid, where you know, some guy in an a ten could just
well probably not a ten then, but uh, you know, he's like,
I have no choice but to fire a missile into you. I can't
and I don't want to write. So that's exactly my processing on this story.
It's another group of people who hate us because we are who we are,
and we're gonna have to crush them because they're being idiots Like this is
how I imagine a playing out right, And I, like I said,
I have not researched the story because to me, it's just another group of
idiots who hate us for some reason. Yeah, okay, fair play to
you. Now we will decimate you. So I imagine they're sitting there and
they're like, hey, we're gonna shoot rockets at you, and us,
being the United States and our big ships, were like, yeah, you
really shouldn't do that. No, we're gonna do it. Yeah, we're
gonna do it. We're like, you, you shouldn't do that. It's
exactly the Iran thing. Don't do it. And they're like, no,
we're really gonna do it. We're like, don't do it. And then
they do it, and they're like we're like, hey, don't do that
again. Don't It's like you're you're head, you're dealing It's like you're dealing
with a child, right, You're like, don't do that again. If
you do that again, you're gonna be in trouble. And they're like,
aha, that to America. Yeah, and they send another bomb over and
they we're like okay, and we just we just vaporize you off the map.
We went then, and then the media is like, how dare the
United States? Yes, these these good people, these uh what are they?
What are they? These fans of nineties pop, right, he's innocent.
Fans of Darius Rucker. You know, the Dolphins make me cry too,
you know what I mean? They make me cry. It is like
a time the Dolphins. The I can't believe that. So did I like
me not even researching this story, just like glancing my Twitter timeline. Did
I nail it? Yeah, that's exactly what happened right now. It's like,
yo, it's not just a missile, it's the totality of the HOUTHI
rebel air force is now set to be unleashed. I really fear your hot
air balloons or whatever. You No, they don't have a balloon. We're
going to shoot our laser focused giant lawn dart at your ear balloon and take
out your entire air force. I'm not concerned. No, we're talking jet
You know technology, man, it's no, they have they have to you
know, they have some technology could be dangerous they have They have a one
F five, They have an F five one. They have one and by
the way, you see how low that number is. The series like the
it's there's a reason like all of our stuff, Like what do you think
of badass air? Air superiority in the US in the US Air Force and
Navy, like, we don't have single numbers. I mean maybe we do.
But the badass stuff like what is it a ten ward hog? Right?
F sixteen, F fourteen? This is this? They have an F
five right. This is the stuff that we know of that we have.
I don't eve want to think about the stuff that's classified at the moment.
Right. Remember when like the when it was it, what's that? What's
the the SR seventy one? Yes, before that was declassified and people knew
it was the thing. People would like they were like making like UFO sightings.
I saw some crazy the sky doesn't look like an airplane. It was
going super That's the UFO. The stuff we have to have now has to
be so above that, like want to and they're like, oh, we're
gonna tack you with their F five hot air balloon or whatever they have.
Okay, don't care. What's your name again? Who oh man? How
do you flex with that? Because they are they're like, aha, watch
out, what what what? I'm sorry, I'm not dude. You remember
when Rambo took that that giant helicopter out with a rock with a rock bro,
Yeah, Like that's what kills this thing too? Right? It could
be a rock, It could be the turkeys from your far Cry game.
It could be like like it could just like do we have to even put
up? Does goose have to go up? Or mav like to handle this?
And and by the way, does that even count? If you are
a fighter pilot in the US Air Force and he took out an F five
amongst your friends, right, like, what was chasing you? Is it
next gen third generation fighter jets from Russia? No? No? Oh?
Was it that Chinese fighter thing with the scramjet stuff they were talking about?
No? I was it? Was it F five? And then they got
to go look it up. I think if you have an F five you
can get a Classic plates put on it so you don't have to pay the
full registration fee. But we've on, We've on Cadillac of the Skies.
Bro Oh, I'm fifty one? All right? Well, never mind,
I stand correct with the with the rebels gonna get it done, all right,
six six forty ten, And you're right, and that the inevitability will
be like we'll shoot their F five down. They be like, why would
you do that? Now they have no way to protect themselves decimated their entire
air force. I'm sorry, what's their naval for Kentiki? The raft?
I mean, what that thing? It's that and it's that thing that that
dude and that other guy survived on, except the other guy didn't survive and
the dude was way too fat. After six months, the original PT one
oh nine PT went at a P fifty one. You're just throwing stuff out
the sea. Yeah, all right, well, but but here's the here's
the problem. You do that, and then if you happen to nail something
and it's like super top secret, they're like, how does he do?
How does this guy know about the P fifty one? And then all of
a sudden, like you you know, you get putined right up here on
the seventh floor. Oh how the window fell out and ross fell out after
it. There is no P fifty one, So be very careful, all
right, six forty four hang on two stations driving the best in talk.
This is Casey O'Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, So I had
to look it up. I had to look up the history of the F
five there, since that's what our troops will be facing. The light fighter
aircraft own as the F five A through F five E ran and was produced
by north Northrop Grumming or Northrop Corp. At the time, beginning in nineteen
fifty nine. The rebels there their entire air force. Is that the Grand
Tarno that Eastwood had right right, that thing you found in your you're now,
you know, pop pop passes away and you're like, oh my gosh,
what is this and it's it's a classic I was trying to be ridiculous
and you know, overly crazy with the Cadillact. This guy's the fifty one
Mustang reference. Yeah, about forty five. That wasn't that far off.
No, No, And what's crazy is so Grumman's so they built this thing,
and they built it privately, and then obviously it was you know,
at that point, I'm try to remember what the other plane was. Suddenly
McDonald douglas was building. But they did that when you could still spec build
stuff for the military. You can't. You can't assemble your own receiver now
without you know, atf wanting to kick your door in. Can you imagine
if you're a young tech entrepreneur and you're like, I'm gonna build the next
greatest murder jet, right, and you get the parts because you're the doogie
houser of murder jets and you're just sitting there in your garage building this murder
jet that you just can't wait. And you know, I can't wait to
present this to the leaders of the military. Wait till they get their eyes
on this thing, and they're gonna buy my murder jets and I'm helping my
country in great But right now, if you think about building a ghost gun,
right the d o j wants to get a wants to get a warren.
Maybe come in and shoot some of your family members. There's no half
measures. You gotta go full Tony Stark iron Man. Yeah. Yeah,
you can't spec build a murder jet today. Some bad's gonna happen when and
what happens they don't want your murder jet. You think they're gonna leave you
around. They're like, ah, we went with a different murder jet,
but I don't like that he knows how to build murder jets. You're gonna
you're gonna be in trouble. Somebody's just sent me this. Do you know
what? Do you know what the latest greatest technological breakthrough that the HOOTI rebels
are gonna have to sit here and put up with right now. So we're
like, ah, we love these murder jets. These are great, but
what if it could go much faster and not make a sonic boom? Ever,
that's the thing right now, that's a that's crazy to How do you
not to do something that just happens naturally? Doesn't even make sense? I
can't, I can't even makes sense. I just imagine they all have like
some sort of there's like an airy fifty one really with like Brent Spiner from
Independence Day who's just like creating crazy stuff like no idea, how that's possible?
Good luck? What if though, it's like Tony Stark and data get
in there? Ah, spec build and murder Jake, you've been working on
a you've been working on nuclear sub right? Is that what's you have?
It? Moored there in wake forest. He's got a bunch of branches over
it. You wouldn't even know it's there. But yeah, that's his passion
project that you feel for that it's actually inflatable. Oh man, I'm so
stupid. You're attacking a cal right, that's high level. You don't get
You don't get Calais jokes over on the uh you know the t D pop
station. They're not making Calais jokes of the boy. What if they are,
though, Like, I don't want to pick out your buddy. He
was very dice when I met him last month. No, only are they
doing it, but they're actually doing it with an amazing patent impression. Oh
you would think it was yeah, you would think it was like the actual
pattern. You're like, how how they do that? Just there's just somebody
from down the hall. They just come up here and just slap people randomly.
Are you're going to break? What are you doing? Can't do that?
Oh? Speaking of the Armed Forces and its commander in chief, Joe
Biden will be making a visit to Raleigh tomorrow where he'll room no doubt ruma
around somewhere providing a much much coverage. Is he just going here because like
Kamala, Kamala just did a visit and the visit to quote discuss bidenmics did
I I will say this, Can you imagine putting your name on what's going
on right now? Like Reagan Reagan? Like Reaganomics was Reaganomics, but only
after everyone's making a gain zillion dollars and every dude on Wall Street's blowing himself
up with cocaine and and just insane in you know, insane trading schemes and
everything's kind of a little out of control. But his bust along and you're
like, I'm attached my name to what's going on right now where people can't
afford food and they're a doctor married to a doctor whose kid is their kid's
a lawyer and lives at home. This is where we are, man.
Uh, the Bidenomics and the investing in America agenda. Yeah, I don't
see who was going somewhere. I thought that we were having visits where they
were doing that. And is there something boon? Oh? No, Ross,
what if they do something at your place in Boone there? I mean
the boon, big beer, big beer, Boon, the triple B.
Can you imagine him wandering around at the top of that thing. It's dangerous,
that sounds and then the HOOTI rebels might do something. You gotta watch
out, man. Yeah, Janet, what's up? Hey, Casey?
I just turned the radio along whom ARUs Rocker? Nobody if they're smart,
that guy's that, that guy's he's a treasure. He's in North Carolina treasure.
Why what did he do? Oh my gosh, I don't know.
They're not reasonable people, the Hootie Rebels, because remember they just said they're
going to come out to the US military with a plane from the fifties.
Notice, all right, they don't have they didn't have his up one on
hand. What the hell I've met I've met Darius for a couple of times.
That dude looks strike me. If somebody could handle himself like I don't
like the Rebels, Chances he's got fighting jack. He could probably afford a
F I can probably afford a dea F five. You know what my uncle
recently told me when he got upset at the owner of a campground we were
at that he has just enough money to name palm that place. So I'm
pretty sure my uncle's got that much money. Darius Rucker got there all right?
All right? I love it, Janet, thanks for the call there.
Yeah, can you imagine Hooti Rebels defeated by hoodie Kah. I'm gonna
retweet this too. You wanna wanna check that out? And sorry, we'll
hit the old or excuse me, repost or whatever. So there's a video
that's going around h a barista at a at Terminal D in the Atlanta Airport
who she had gotten in. She got into a spat with one of her
other coworkers or whatever, and I guess the managers are like, I'm sorry,
you're out of here, you're fired, but whatever happened, and she's
she's like five foot and she is really upset. And in the video you
see her trying to physically get back behind the counter, back to the employee
area, and there's two managers standing there, and she decides that she's gonna
she's gonna fight him, and at one point even picks up a high top
chair, you know, like a reverend barber chair, and was was gonna
hit these dudes. And the guy just he doesn't even move fast, just
with one hand, just like takes the chair. Right. But if it
was a Disney movie, everyone's dead except her, right. I mean,
that's how that works. When you get the the five foot tall barista against
the sixth the one manager looks like he's six' three, who just one
arm grabs the chair, not even in a forceful manner. It would be
like if I'm like, hey, ross hand me a chair, and he
just kind of here you go. If it's a Disney movie, you could
be like a deaf amputee and still take him out. Yeah, hey man,
as long as you're have you seen Echo? I thought about clicking because
don't do her there, don't do with them? Are there though? You
know my thing? I want all the episodes to be there so I could
binge it. I was moments away from pushing the play button the other day.
You know, do it just so you have the show, prip Why
what hapen to take one for the team. I mean we talked about I
talked about that before it came out, like my wild irritation over them just
deciding that all tribes were the same. Yeah, and they're just She's a
deaf amputee, a deaf Native American female amputee. Okay, and she is
the ultimate Mary Sue. I'm I'm shocked they didn't make her trance, to
be completely honest. Well, if you watched this whole thing, check another
box. I did not, so perhaps said, yeah, it's right around
the corner. Man. You know they should send her after the rebels over
in Yemen. See you think Echo would win or the f five to be
fair to she's got plot armor. They don't stand a chance to be fair.
Do you think you win or the F five? I mean it depends
on the size of the rocket. I think I got a good chance that
the rockets will work. So all right, everyone's down. Letting Darius Rucker
do whatever he wants over there to give them the tools. Hey man,
whatever works, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. We should be chatting with Lieutenant Governor today. That'll be about one
hour from now. We'll see, Uh what is going on there? Whoa
old? Uh? Why did that start playing? You know Twitter's done that
recently. Even when I closed the app, it doesn't stop me. That's
what happened to me earlier, same exact thing. I didn't have the video.
I didn't call the video up. I just tweeted it without and then
I was freaking out because I'm like, I'm pretty sure she swears in there
when it's uh, when it's chair time. All right, So anyway,
yes, was mentioning Joe Biden Megan a visit to the tri Angle tomorrow.
The White House went on to say, Hey, this is about repairing and
rebuilding our infrastructure, lowering costs, supporting small you know, all the basically
unchecked statements that you can make when nobody actually attempts to give you the same
thoroughness, which is what they claim that they're giving to the right now,
we're just trying to be thorough right, make sure everything checks out, and
then you know, and then you can just say stuff like that. And
somehow the article then delves into Trump being unfit for the presidency. And it's
supposed to just be a placeholder article to let people know that Biden's visiting.
Biden lost North Carolina in twenty twenty to Trump by less than seventy five thousand
votes. Okay, I have a question, is this so this is Is
this a campaign stop? No, it's not. It's supposed to be a
presidential stop. Why we dive into that now? Where I'm wondering, I
just want to know where the heck he's going. I had it in that
other article and then I closed it because we got talking about rebels and just
one of those mornings around these parts. All right, well, we got
to get into it. We got to get into a few things before before
we do chat with Lieutenant governor. But I got all sorts of stuff.
I want to ask him. This is interesting and and and obviously a really
bad, really really bad idea. Uh. You know, one of the
things as a responsible firearm owner that you want to keep in mind, uh,
is that guns and alcohol don't mix, all right. You know there's
there's gun ranges that have literally like social clubs in them and bars and stuff
like that. But you know they have I remember seeing somebody was freaking out
over a hunting facility, right, it was a bird facility because of this
huge clubhouse there. They were, Oh, people are going there, They're
getting drunk and they're going there out. They're out hunting truckers and stuff and
pheasants. And I went to that. I went to the facility before,
and they have this this whole lockout procedure. So if you go, if
you go into the bar restaurant and get a beer, you're done. I
point this out because, in the same way that guns in alcohol dout mix,
guns and cocaine are probably not a good idea either. Hunter Biden,
according to federal prosecutors in a filing yesterday, may have not understood that rule.
Five years after the sister in law, UH turned Hailey Biden dumped Hunter's
firearm in that trash can behind the grocery store next to the school. Officials
have released a more thorough examination of the pistol and the holster and all of
its contents. By the way, it was a Cobra, a three eighty
five pl revolver, and according to the filing yesterday previously undisclosed, the holster
of the pistol was just chock full of cocaine, had cocaine all over it,
because of course it did, right, if you're a Hunter Biden's pistol
holster, you probably like you're just like all using a powdery winter wonderland,
right, And obviously the holster, being you know, a fabric and leather,
is going to more succinctly hold on to it. But that was not
the totality of it. According to the FBI chemist's report, investigators also found
a pouch in the holster that was full of drugs, so not just residue
on there. He had a custom coke pocket on his pistol holster, which
I have a few holsters. I've never seen that option. Right, do
they make pistols holsters with one hitters too? If you're more into marijuana right
where it's a bong. I take your pistol, I'll leave it in do
whatever you're gonna do. But no, yeah, they found drugs in the
pouch. The filing is a response to a motion of dismiss filed by Hunter's
lawyers on the gun charge. The team recounted the evidence they had that to
confirm the it was abundantly clear, like because this is the this is the
the damning part of this. If you if you remember the whole pistol thing.
The problem was he lied on the form he had to fill out about
his rampant drug use there and a couple other things, and it becomes it's
one thing to say, no, look, I didn't think I didn't was
using in a rampant manner, even though that's not the standard or any of
the rest. You can't try to distance yourself from those two activities. If
the very device that was used, if the very device that was used has
the drugs on it, right, that's that's what they refer to as a
slam dun or should be. And I know, in an unbiased legal system,
that's probably a pretty damning piece of evidence, says one of our emailers
described, if your pistol holster looks like a powder donut, you're probably gonna
lose, or at the very least should But again, I don't know that
people have the utmost confidence in where there's things going. All right, So
if you want to weigh in on that and the pistol holsters with drug compartments,
I guess feel free. So what you gotta do if you want to
hide your drugs, what you do is you got to load your own and
instead of dumping gunpowder in there, cocaine and then you just got bullets and
you know, here you go, and then you just pull the pop the
top off one. So not only do you you got your gun and you
can flash it around and your you know, your your crack hotel videos,
but also it's already in a device you could put right in your nostrils.
So that's called two birds one stone right there. Look it up seven eighteen
Hang on your Day, Smarter one O six one f M Talk and news
Talk NUPTI more with case starts now. All righty, welcome back kc O
Day Radio program. Let't grab a phone call here on cocaine, guns and
other stuff. Well that now now, I don't I know if I want
to call it that unless it's a gun that shoots cocaine, which I have
to think if you're like Motley Crue back in the day, you have one
of those on your bus as rock stars do. I'm just imagining Hunter Thompson
walking around with you know, Woody Creek there, Colorado is cocaine gun.
Yeah, amazing, that would be great. All right, Well that's said.
That's another thing you gotta worry about. Jamal. What's up, hey,
Kase? You know what, when you think about what Hunter Biden did,
and to me, the black community should be real angry Joe Biden the
nineteen ninety four crime bill. I remember Max seing Nappy head Waters sat there
on the floor and said, well, what happens if some friends had a
done and you know, had a little blobling and you know, But Joe
Biden was agnamant about, you know, getting these drug dealers and getting these
people off the streets, which he was right about. Let me say that
the nineteen ninety four crime Bill was correct because if the drug dealers and gang
bengals out off the streets, but his son, his son was caught with
a gun ankle, I mean gun and crack, I mean cocaine and olster.
Literally, this is what the nineteen ninety four crime Bill was supposed to
be about. Wait, hold on, hold on, I'm sorry, So
were you are? Was there a was there a run of cocaine guns within
inner city communities that they were attempting to target because I'm the first time I'm
hearing about cocaine guns. So oh no, this happened on the floor that
they were debating nineteen ninety four crime beer. It was like cracking one side
of the pocket gun. Oh okay, so he says he just mixed them
like peanut butter jelly. Right, Oh yeah, he had. He had
him a cracking butter stand with a cracking butter sand and the and the hypocrisy
behind it. Casey, can't just think about this. They have released a
report. They had their report saying that his son was standing there not only
with his coke residue in the host, but cocaine period. And not a
Democrat is out here who was against was for prison reform and how it's targeting
and hurting black men are out here saying a word they a black church is
talking about the racism, and old Joe, old Joe Biden gonna say he
was because that old klan Trump He's gonna come. He gonna put y'all's back
and changing in the field. Y'all's gonna be picking sweet potatoes and cotton and
butterbeans. He gonna, hey, you're doing it, you elect Trump.
Black folk don't trust him. But your son's sitting up here with cocaine guns,
hookush underage hookers and he gets to do whatever. Isn't that the white
privileged people swamping down and they didn't no fair? That sounds like politicians kid
privilege. But if you had to pick one right there, even even Jesse,
if Jackson's son went to prison for his shinstiness, well, I just
look I the fact that now we have to worry about cocaine guns and they're
in once on you know, crime statistics within our tech, you know,
within our communities, and not the best example coming from the White House there.
I share your concern sir so, but I just say it's the more
more hypocrisy when people call you telling you about you know, he doing this
for white o y'all. You know, when are people going to just wake
up and say you know what it's not about racism is racism is to sell
to the highest bidder, and all these people like Bob and all of them
to do all this crime and boogoo wing about racism. It's not about racism.
It's about selling power in the black struggle to keep a particular party.
I am you know, I got it. I got a role and I
think a lot of people would agree with you on that for sure. Oh
man, wait, do you hear this a Palestinian protest article? Hey?
Keeping you connected? This is ninety four or five w p T I and
the Triad and one six one FM talk in the Triangle. I just can't.
I just you know what, here's what you need to do. You
need to lock the entire store up once and for all. So there you
see these pictures floating around of now Walmart and Target, who much like Razor
Blades and H Laundry Detergent, have now had to put socks in underwear behind
uh lock and key. That's everything, right, that's all the stuff?
Is there? Anything not? By the way, if you're a if you're
a company and you make stuff that you know for the you know, sold
in retail environments and they don't lock your stuff up. Do you kind of
feel bad? You kind of like, hey, hey, people want to
steal our stuff too. In fact, that's what you do from a viral
marketing standpoint, right, You got to you gotta hire a bunch of people
to go steal a bunch of your stuff so that you get into the lock
and key club. And then consumers would I guess, attach an inherent value
to whatever it is you're making just my uh, just my free consultation for
any of you manufacturers out there. All right, So check this out because
what this is is not immediately apparent and tell you, actually you think about
it for a moment. Maybe you have or maybe you haven't noticed that there
have been a lot of instances where pro Palestinian protesters, among all of the
other fun banners and T shirts and everything else out there, have included a
lot of imagery with watermelons, and the associated press wants you to know they're
not doing it to be racist. I guess they were very concerned that people
would see that and think that the very same folks who went and uh hold
on, let me check booed kids with cancer the other day, chanting shame
shame at a pediatric oncology facility, which, by the way, what do
the kids have to be ashamed of at the pediatric oncology facility? Hoarding celebrity
meet and greets. I mean, what what is like if I can't figure
it out? And I'm just so I was racking my brain, that's the
only thing, I guess, because they like they wanted to meet Jeter,
and Jeter's people are like, I'm sorry, we're very busy with the Make
a Wish Foundation. We're not going to be able to accommodate, and that
like radicalize somebody, I guess, But yeah, they want to be they
want to be very clear that the imagery of watermelons, if you would look,
is actually a rallying point. I'm using the words of the writer of
this article that are not in quotes, has become a rallying point for solidarity
with the Palestinian's plight. Yeah, a sign of solidarity because the watermelon with
its green rind, black seeds, and red pulp represents the Palestinian flag.
And there's a term for what they're implying that this is called algo speak,
and it's a way that you bypass professor, You know you bypass governmental clampdowns
on stuff to include imagery that just means the same thing. So you know
in in China. In China is really where you saw this pioneered, especially
in and around like Tianemen and things like that. But I guess the writer
here was concerned that with people would see what looks like cartoonish watermelon imagery and
jump to ah, obviously they're racist, because the media themselves, remember that's
this is what they do. Somebody makes an okay symbol to indicate that something's
okay. And now it's an investigation. Why does your why does your stage
look like a run? Right? Right? Just make it more sense as
I'm explaining, it isn't it. They can find they can find the hate
hiding anywhere, as long as it's among the appropriate people in their stupid rune
stage. But they wouldn't want you to be confused that people who harass cancer
children. I don't want people doubt they're thinking that they're racists, say,
or hateful or something. So that's why we get this clarification. God help
is man all right. The largest city in New Jersey, Newark, Newark,
has expanded their voter base. That's right. The Newark City Council has
voted to grant voting rights to sixteen and seventeen year olds for local school board
elections. This is the one where they always try to start this because they're
like, I know, we should have the kids voting. It's not just
an absolutely easy to read plan to boost Democrat voters, right, because then
they can These kids are captives. So if you're a Moonbat teacher and you
know there are some out there and you're like, ah, my kids can
vote, now, I'm going to make it a class assignment. We're going
to go we all go to the polling place together and I'll, you know,
kind of tell them how to vote, or at the very least i'll
know. Because your big problem with sixteen and seventeen year olds is not that
their politics isn't going to lean left heavily. It's you got to get them
to get there and vote, or you got to get a bunch of absentee
stuff and just fill it out for them. But I mean, who would
do that? So that's what you're going to struggle with. But that's an
easily controllable thing here, So we when people push back on that, The
way that they then try to start is go, well, look, you
say they don't got skin in the game, but where do kids have skin
in the game? School? Right? So why don't why don't they should
be able to vote in school board elections? And that's what they're doing here,
So they will now be allowed to vote in school board elections. Council
president Lemonica McIver, not mcgiver, but mcgiver, be very clear. I
don't think she possesses even one one hundred of the skills of mcgiver. Obviously,
because what she's gonna say next, you can tell she's dumb. She
said. Not only did it past unanimously, but she declared that miners have
the right to representation, and they do their parents represent them, because that's
how that works. The measure then went on to declare that sixteen and seventeen
year olds deserve the right to vote because they may take on certain responsibilities like
driving, paying taxes, and working, as well as civic activities such as
political campaign contributions. Wait wait, this is also a money hustle. I'm
sorry, how much your sixteen year olds donating to your campaign? Oh?
It just hit me. Do you know how obnoxious. It's gonna be when
the kids show up to sell candy bars to me, But it's for money
for political candidates and not football uniforms or pencils, because it never I do
you not have this basic thing? What the hell? Where would all the
money go? And then we're told it's not. Everything's fine, and it's
like, I don't know, I didn't have. How many assistant principles did
you have? We had one? Now you can like there's a principle for
each grade. There could be more. This whole thing. Man councilwoman Louise
Scott Roundtree, who's also an idiot, went on to say, quote,
it was biblical. I want to be very clear. She went on to
use the Bible. It is biblical to let vote miners vote. Where where
is that? Somebody with more instant recall Bible knowledge than me? Where was
that? Is? That? Was that? What was that one of the
smashed tablets? We didn't know it had an extra one on there? Right,
And it's like, God, thou shall let miners vote. It's right
there about not you know, murdering people or hook it up with the neighbor's
wife. So who are we to argue quote we dowb I think we downplay
their wisdom because we think we elders know at all. Uh yeah, look,
our kids even to have good ideas, occasionally maligned and not listened to.
Yes, it's also why every great eighties movie subplot the kids this amazing
adventure ensues, and it's largely due to the fact that they were basically kind
of sloughed off by parents or other authority figures, so they were left to
handle it themselves. You don't think it would have been a better bet if
perhaps some adults who cared were involved in more treasure hunting along the Oregon coast,
especially considering the obstacles that those kids were likely going to face and did
face. So yeah, save me that. But the biblical thing, that's
great. So somebody, if you want to help out eight eight, eight
nine, three four seven, eight seventy four. What the hell does that
mean? Ponder that? What we chat with Ray Stagic who means business dude,
dude. Yeah, I grew up a cold weather environment. I'm stop,
I got it. No, no, no, no, here's the
thing, and I and I did. I walked out this where I went
oooh yeah, right that being said, and by the way, no man
should make that noise. That being said, they delayed school. They delayed
school for some of the kids. I had this conversation when the Buffalo game
was changed. I had it with somebody at working maybe in the news releash
nine feet of snow here. Well, listen, it goes back to the
entire message I was trying to deliver, and I probably said it a little
bit too loud. I was like, I wasn't sure I get it.
They all right, so maybe the buffal games. But it's cold, but
it's it's okay, what did we used to do. This isn't working.
We all just died. That's what did not see? Did not see twenty
two or the day after tomorrow or whatever? Yeah, which one is it?
Yeah? Day after tomorrow saying some of them survived, right because somebody
has Yeah, exactly. I mean, if if we're talking Buffalo, by
his opinion, I think it was the main the right decision to be made.
I am nana a game from that. I personally was like, I
just let him play. But anyway, my point being, I said in
the news room, I think I think we have softened way too much over
the years. I think we've solved the record lows for the date are below
zero, and this is actual air temperatures. What would we do? What
would we do? Viot fires and the only thing to keep people work?
And is it funny? I was talking about the late seventies early eighty lows
nineteen seventy seven one below and Raleigh. The record for Ashville is six below.
So it's teens and even some twenty degree temperatures this morning. It's okay,
you prep yourself accordingly, you drip your pipes. It's gonna be all
right. Sunshine and upper third forty probably today for some twenty Tonight fifty degrees,
Tomorrow fifty degrees and that a little rain tomorrow night early Friday, there
might be a little mix, especially west and into the mountains where they may
get at some of the ski resorts a little bit of snow. So the
skiing's going to be great this weekend. We'll get close to fifty Friday before
the bottom falls out on temperatures again, thirty five on Saturday and ne're forty
on Sunday. A lowe's going back down into the teens and a nice warm
up coming next week. So winter weather enthusiast head to the mountains over the
weekend. Should be beautiful, some beautiful ski weather Beach Mountain. I think
I think they got like over a foot of snow and they'll have more coming,
a lot more coming tomorrow night to Friday. Boone at snow. Plenty
of record snow. And you know what I found funny for Nashville. They
had record snow, over six inches of snow, and I was kind of
looking for songs about snow. There's a lot of country songs about rain,
but you know what, there's not many about snow. So somebody get on
that exact Brian has a song about snow. There is, but there's a
lot more about rain. You know. There's a country artist named Hank Snow.
Yes I do, okay, I thank my playlist. Well, I'm
just saying like, there you go. You're welcome. Boom, thanks yeah,
yeah, yeah, all right, see in an hour, thank you.
All right, there you go. Very stagic. So wait, it's
big ski plot right, snow coming, make it cold. Kids can't go
to school with family ski vacation. I see you, I see what you're
doing. We'll uncover that next. The iHeart Radio app search Kcoda for the
podcast on the iHeart Radio app all right, sep fifty five Kcoday Radio program.
And you know how government loves the government and just almost make a joke
out of spending your money. It wasn't so damned expensive. It might actually
be somewhat humorous from time to excuse me from time to time. But we
got us a doozy and it's up there on par with some of the greats.
One of our favorites around here, because there's a it's a local thing
was back in the day over at Wakefornes University. They were speaking of cocaine.
They were like, hey, what if we give monkeys cocaine? And
then somebody's like, ah, yeah, yeah, but how about we don't
pay for it and the taxpayers paid for it. Brilliant they said, And
that we were able to get that, and then that's how we get our
intro song for the thing I'm about to tell you. So let's do that.
Grand that's a lot to be asking to study cocaine. Old lunches up
and watch house on this last and then once on is this man your bird?
The economic stimulation? Mind me? How to grow when looking monkeys on
powder is what you get fitted to so many ways our tax dollars, good
miss Spenning. Instead of using monkey powder to turn primates to cokedes, monkeys
on callka. What the public had in line monkeys on called CAA, monkeys
on called CAA curious charge you to do a lot monkeys on calledka. All
right, so how do you trump the federal government spending in that case one
hundred and forty four thousand dollars to get curious George to do a line as
the song mentions, well, things are more expensive now, so you allocate
seven one hundred thousand dollars to develop a brand new trans inclusive sexual education program
for fourteen year olds to educate fourteen year old transgender male students, so female
students identifying as men or I guess boys in this case, because we're talking
about fourteen year olds boys and girls, so that you can educate them on
the fact that they can get pregnant. So started you know fourteen, obviously
we know the fourteen year olds can get pregnant. But apparently if you're fourteen
and you decided that the assigned female at birth not going to work, and
now I identify as a male. Apparently then you're unaware that you still can
get pregnant. But luckily the government's gonna spend seven hundred thousand to put a
thing together going hey, hey, you can still get pregnant if you have
a womb. So that the cocaine monkey people got to be drooling at this
fat pay day at about five times. What day. God, we are
so doomed. And all right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It
is eight oh seven here on the Cacoday Radio program eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four on the show We've we got through Hoti rebels hooting
the blowfish. Uh. Somebody sent me an email with a brilliant idea on
how to handle the totality of the uh Hooti rebel air force, which is
apparently an F five from the fifties, send miss America. Can you imagine,
because you got it, you also have to look at that through a
cultural lens. How insulting an unburkeed twenty two year old beauty queen and an
F sixteen destroying your entire air force? What that does for like your ego?
That's got a that's like one of those things where we do those stories
where somebody gets arrested for something so embarrassing you're like, you better lie you
get to jail. You need to lie. You can't be a rebel group
on the cusp of a cheesy, achieving labels of terrorist status, right,
you know, this is this is your dream. You can't be that and
have one wing of your military obliterated by a prom queen who just happens to
also be a talented pilot soon to be Harvard medical doctor, and also a
beauty queen. Like that's that's got to be a masculine when when you go
to like the you know, the conferences with the other rebel groups, right,
who was the who was the dude in Cony? You remember Cony in
Africa and he was a parent. Coney was the new hitler. Coney was
everywhere. Like there's a certain amount of cred that goes with that. You
think Coney's guys are not gonna laugh at you at the mixer during the first
night of the conference. No, man, So yeah, thank you.
It was a Jerry. I'm sorry I just clicked away from the email,
but thank you our emailer. I think that's a brilliant idea. And you
know, who's wingman in her hoodie. He's still in this equation and he
doesn't even need to like that's his call sign. Like there's no mystery here.
You're hoodie. And as we know, nothing bad ever happens to pilots
or navigators whose call sign is bird related. Fact. Ross, would you
check that out real quick? Ross could do some research. Are you sitting
down? I am. I know, it's fine, it's fine. Oh,
it's gonna be fine. Okay, for a moment I thought we were
gonna go in another direction there, but yeah, that's where we are,
and then I was just mentioning before the break. The Department of Health and
Human Services is awarded nearly seven hundred thousand dollars to put together a non heteronormative
sexual ed program, which they say is inadequate. I have a question,
how is heteronormative sexual education on the topic of pregnancy inadequate? Because even if
you distance yourself from labels engender and and all of that, I thought it
was supposed to be dealing with the science, and the science goes like this
plug socket baby, the title of my new book gonna have graphic art too,
so not for kids. But yeah, so the reason you have to
come up with something new which is being disc as quote an inclusive teen pregnancy
program for transgender boys, to quote educate them that they can become pregnant sounds
like a failing of the main trux of it. And the only reason that
they would think that they couldn't become pregnant is because you've convinced them that if
they then identify without surgery, right, if they have all the if they
have the functionality removed, then yes, probably not going to get pregnant.
But if everything's there, and you know you're at you're in a very fertile
stage of your life. Right. The only reason they wouldn't know that is
because you've convinced them otherwise with your other educational programs costing a bunch of money
for no reason, and then you tell me that person should be able to
vote. It all ties together, folks, It all all ties together,
and and in pure government fashion, the answer is throw more money at it.
And that's what they're going to do. Austin. Austin, Texas is
in crisis, not from you know, not from any of the normal stuff,
or just the sheer amount of hipster d bags that dot the area,
which is too bad because like there's a lot of places that are really kind
of stunning, and like you wouldn't think of that with Austin. But Austin's
really like from a topography standpoint, you got the lake up there, you
got some great golf courses around there, you have uh, you know,
some of the mountains and the and the like. They you know, they
had the bats and all that. That's a big deal there. But there's
so much more to the area around there, and Texas doesn't always get that,
but Austin's got a lot going on there, and then it just fills
up with that. Well, now they got a new problem. Austin is
facing a ramp a run of machete problems. And I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking, case you didn't pronounce that correct, right, But I
think that's probably how they would say it among the the hipster crowd of Austin,
not understanding the machete reference, which in and of itself is a crime.
Uh. Austin City leaders are struggling to figure out how to solve the
machete crime problem in Austin, which has has resulted in several unprovoked and deadly
attacks plaguing the residents. Machetes have historically been used as agricultural tools or as
military weapons. Thank you, Captain Obvious. It is kind of crazy,
though, man watching uh where it is more common culturally to use machetes as
gardening tools. Because you see a dude walking into a yard holding a big,
you know, big old knife, You're like, what's going Oh,
he's no, he's just trimming the hedges. I watched a dude cut along
with a machete once Ross is laughing. I know. So on the corner
of my house, we have these big azilia bushes, right, Okay,
sometimes they get like too big because I'm lazy stuff and like, you know,
like weeds and all that. So I will go out there in the
corner of the house with my dad's old k bar from Vietnam. Yeah,
and I will hack the living crap because that thing is still super sharp,
Like it'll if you were not careful, you will it'll cut your hand up,
uh huh, or your finger off or some So I will go out
there. Mark He's like, what do you what are you doing with that
knife? And I'm like, it works, right, What are you doing
with that now? I am cotting down the I'm trimming the azelia bushes and
one swing like like a knife through Butter does she understand that the alternative is
you to go get one of those saw those toothy hedge trimmer things and either
get an electric one, which never has They've got one of those recently.
I was playing with those when we before we had our roof Don Chad,
the roofing guy, was like, hey, you should, like, you
know, before the insurance people come out and look at it and tell you
if they're going to pay or not, you know, expect the house.
You should probably maybe trim some of these branches just to get him away from
the house, you know what I mean. So it's just, you know,
because otherwise they'll be like things can get on there and get in your
house and blah blah blah. Yeah. So I bought one of those electric
limb trimmers. Yeah, that go way up. It is so fun to
use, and at first I'm like, I don't know, it's so fun.
It's super fun. Yeah, but you know what else is fun?
Using your dad's k bar. Right, there's that dual wheel death thing,
all the key bar in one hand and the trimmer and the other oh no
stoppable man. All right, So but you have to understand where this is
going because they're talking about how in uh, you know, Cuba and Brazil
and Mexico and and then they throw and Rwanda in there. They're used as
agricultural what Yeah, I think I think Rowanda should be its own category if
you want to talk about the historical dual use of what what a comparison?
Let alone. It's like Austin and the killing Fields's fun. Yeah, guys
on the radio finding the cockroaches, if you saw a hotel Rwanda, That's
true. That was the thing. Like literally the radio shows had to make
a decision where they were going with it, and that's where they went with
it. Right. That's like, you know, all hell kicking loose and
Ross and I have to decide whether we're going to encourage you to go out
and hunt up people from Chapel Hill or something, which I mean's really dark
stuff. So to make that seamless transition from it's used to cut hedges in
Cuba and Rwanda some stuff, Holy crap. Now it's not quite that bad
in Austin. But I bring this up because merely talking about it knowing that
there are certain cultural uses, which I don't even think is fair because I
think anyone with an arm can use one to trim branches. But I would
say it's true that it's more tradition in many Latin American countries and other places
to use that, largely due to the fact that they're pretty inexpensive and they
work well. So that so people were upset that city leaders in Austin are
even going, hey, we got a problem. Yeah, people running around
doing the Rwanda version and not the Brazil version, and we need to do
something. And in my favorite rebuttal comment by Cleo Patrici, who is a
Democratic, former Democrat lawmaker and co founder of some Austin organization, they want
to be clear that city officials don't create this false sense of division because just
because some of the high profile okay, okay, all of the high profile
machete attacks that are quoted in this article were in fact carried out by individuals
who were not from Austin originally, and in most cases not from the United
States but further south. So that's that's what they want to point out.
And then Patricik says, and I quote, keep in mind that this goes
there is a double standard, as most Texans laud James Bowie and his claim
to fame also being a large knife. You think you think that's what it
is. Do you think that that's why Alamo hero James bow Do you think
it's because he invented a garden tool? And that's not what that's about.
And for people to have a positive opinion, I need a Bowie. And
by the way, some people don't, just because you know, they still
think that's Mexico. We stole it, that's fine, they took it back
and then we're like, nah, we'll have that back again. Boom.
And that's where it sits. But to draw this delineation where how can you
be mad at current day machete guy when you think David Bowie or David Bowie.
Yeah, when you like David Bowie even and James Bowie. It's all
so dumb and it's all so predictable each and every time. Now, how
do you stop people from running around like they're on the hunt for you know,
uh uh? Toutsis well. City of Austin is discussing perhaps the ease
of acquisition and putting more restrictions, said one lawmaker. They only cost six
nine at the store, which I will attest to because I when we're doing
the stuff of bus with the kids toys, right in that where you go
in by the fishing stuff next to the toy stuff, they also had six
dollars machetes there, so yeah, and then goes on to say and anyone
can purchase them. They're wanting to go the UK route, which is you
know, culminated in one of our favorite amnesty days where people were getting gift
cards by turning in sharp spoons right, and then the police took pictures of
the sharp spoons, going we got another one off the street where we're going
to make you safer here in the UK. You're welcome. So a twofold
play in one. They want to step up the presence of law enforcement and
from the Park Patrol Division, but also they want to discuss options to make
uh, these weapons of death and you know gardening much more difficult to attain.
I guess machete waiting periods, I'm not sure. Obviously, they want
to financially deincentivize people from using a thing that is largely used for because of
the relative low cost of it, but still providing the function that people want,
because that's you know, government's going to government. Patricik also talked about
other examples of unprovoked machete attacks, including in January or January ninth, excuse
me, where twenty four year old Ashton Tally of Kyle, Texas allegedly attacked
a nineteen year old college student. Again and not from Austin. Uh and
say, they just have a whole list of some other incidents there. But
yes, this is a big problem, big problem. They're gonna solve it
government style. And now if you want to, you're good. It'll be
cheaper to buy the wand clipper thing that Ross is so enamored with, which
I'm pretty sure you can attack somebody with. In fact, I believe in
a movie I saw that happen, and in that commercial where the kids are
hiding in the chainsaw shed, I think there were a few in there as
well, So bad news for them. Probably have to price those out of
existence. All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
That'll get you on the show, and we're back doing the mask thing.
I'll tell you what's up coming up Casey O Day Radio program. This
is one O six one FM talking the Triangle and News Talking ninety four to
five PTI and the Triad. I'm just saying, if it ever becomes a
thing, it's nothing but me and body paint in a hot tub. What
do you think of that? They've got to help the ratings? Or yeah,
but can you how long will it take you to eat an entire jar
of water with a fork? Oh, don't even try me. We may
make that a promotion or something. I'll do that, and then occasionally I'll
just go NPC and man, wait to hear about this ice cream. It's
amazing, but don't mix it with the chili peppers. So Ros and I
were taught, you know, there's a there's evolution in everything that you do.
And I was reading an article about how they're talking about how in certain
disciplines including radio, and this is more this is probably more about targeting much
younger folks than what is kind of our core demographic here, but of moving
combining all the stuff you love about radio with like a twitch style thing,
so which you know, in a way, Ross, you're the innovator here
because you're already doing that. Said I said, a wow, a guy,
I told you this I feel like that's the future because it's it's video,
it's audio, and the viewer slash listener right can can communicate with the
broadcaster in real life via text message or right. It's combining all these three.
So I could see it eventually going there. Yeah, but are we
already offered the we already well not the video saying but you don't want that,
you think you want that, you don't want that, you don't want
five am us. I'm exactly right, do not you think you don't?
So if it does happen, then I have to go to that that one
part of twitch that is nothing, but you know, swimsuit loopholes and body
paints. Hey man, there's an audience for everything. Apparently, they said
there is a streamer the other day she I saw her post an exerp there's
some sort of how do you pronounce like dexxerdo whatever. Yeah, And they
just cover like streaming and like video stuff and video games, And they did
an article about a streamer who for seven hours, the entire stream was a
camera on her right. There's no game, apparently, just a camera on
her with a jar of water, and it took her seven hours to finish
the jar of water like drinking slash, eating it with a fork. She's
like, how long can it take me in to finish this jar water with
a fork? And she's got thousands of yeah watching her do this for seven
hours? Well they watching her. That's more background stuff where you getting things
done? Maybe I don't know. I don't know, man, I oh
you know what? All right? So body paint hot tubs and muck bang.
That's which is kind of sometimes the Morning Show when I get the cold
beef ERRONI out. Yeah, I was gonna say, but also like like
a homeless vibe too, like a homeless feel. But it's good. What
do you do when you talking trash? Mister, I'm gonna go pretend I'm
Rambo while wearing my new balances. I'm saying sometimes you know, you just
you don't want a camera in here. Ross just he made a point,
or he's like, man, look at my new new balances. Yeah right,
they're red, white and blue like buffalo blue. Yeah yeah, I
don't care, anybody says man, new balances are amazing comfy. That's because
one of our listeners on X, Sir Joshua was talking about He's like oh,
well, you know you're getting old when you you pull your socks up
to your knees. And I just replied, I was like, and it
was a true story. I'm like today before bed, uh huh. I
checked my tire pressure outside. Very responsible came in, took off my amazingly
comfortable new balances, and then I sat down in bed and watched Reacher and
it was just with a with a grim reaper photo because I'm so old.
I mean, that's a definition now apparently if you're old, if you watch
Reacher. I think it's a great show. I love it. Really,
Yeah, somebody because they posted, like, you know, there was a
story this is the number one most viewed show on Amazon, And then the
younger zoomers were commenting all over the place like who watches this show? Only
the old people watch this show. And they're like, yeah, your dad
watches the show. That's why, that's why it's popular. Yeah, it's
a great show. Well, you know, they tried this with what was
the remember that Chris Pratt Navy Seal thing, the mini series, right,
They tried to say that that was a great show too, that was a
fantastic show. Apparently we feel that way because we're ancient and we're gonna turn
the dust suit. I don't have new balances on. Do they're so great?
No? I think they probably are. They look comfortable. Listen,
man, I need to wear my shoes or my back. It's okay.
Well, maybe don't go out and ramble the bushes, right, come on,
man, you don't be funnier as if you're in a gilly suit too,
and you can see the new balances sticking out the bottom. That would
be. That would be a drives by. They're like go bills. Also,
don't murder me guy in a gilly suit with a k bar please,
whatever you do. Oh my goodness, are you ready for this? There's
some science for you, science science science researchers in Canada, so you know,
take that for what it's worth. Say that. Oh that's a good
point. Now I have old listeners going that if you will love new balance,
you're gonna love love sketcher slip ons. Yeah. I'm not not at
that point yet. Are we bringing velcrow into this yet? Where we're need
that I can't do velcro with the gym? Yeah, well that would be.
It was a hallmark of eighties gyms. But not no more. All
right. That's Boston Paul by the way, and I'm sure he knows what
he's talking about. It would say, as it pertains to old man footwear,
So I got that going for you. Researchers in Canada say that they
were trying to see if perhaps psychiatric issues, specifically people who you would clinically
describe as a psychopath may have physical characteristics that coincide with that particular mental state.
And they say there are a few things, though the sample size isn't
great, but a few things that perhaps can contribute to what they refer to
as and I'm not making this up, the dark triad of traits indicating that
somebody is perhaps prone to macavelianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. All right,
so let's all check first, look at your whatever your dominant hand is,
okay, And by the way, if it's left, that's one of the
traits. So sucks for you. What is somebody? It's new balance,
not new balances? Are you trying to outold us? Because that's well done.
Did I say new balance? I don't even know what if there's more
than one of them? Well, yeah, that's why you're making it plural.
Yeah, idiot, but that is. But it's like deer, like
if I got Nike shoes, right, I'm getting my Nikes. I'm not
getting my Nike. Oh dummy, but cheese it you grammar Nazi, but
cheese it cheese it not allowed to cheese it. Remember we learned that.
So anyway, left handed also is your index or pointer finger, and your
ring finger, which is longer ross ring finger longer or index finger. I
am left handed and my ring finger is longer than my podcast. Oh wow.
And also all all I eat and drink is bitter food. Plus I'm
in the media. Your ticket, all the boxes bison. I got to
return some videotapes. I bet you do. You know what you should do?
You should journal about it. Hold on, hold on, we'll get
we get into that of a seri of mode. I love what everything just
ties together. We'll even get another hooting in the Blowfish reference in but now
ray Stagic here for the Weather Channel. We are proposing that North care on
line of legend Hoodie from Hoody and the Blowfish go and fight the Hooty Rebels,
now that we found out that their entire air force is one nineteen fifties
Era of five series fighter jet kind of Oh okay, yeah, or the
new Mist America one of the two. Yeah, that too, don't want
to Oh yeah, we could send her, I guess. So that's what
we're out. That's what we're playing. Ross says. Ross has a new
Balance shoes, does he? Yeah, says They're so comfy. They really
are. My mom when I saw her, actually brought me a pair from
the local shoe store back at home, you know, the local mom and
pop where you can find like the size fifteens that she brobably some new Balance.
I was like, wow, oh wow, Balance. Yeah. Can
you imagine? Yeah? Man, the designs fingers longer, ring fingers longer
than just the key. So there's my contribution for the day. You're taking
one of the dark triad traits of psychopathy? Are you left hand? Are
you No? I am not left handed? My mom is though. Speaking
of mom, so well, check her finger length and get back with all
right, what do you got back? Anyway? Cold and it'll get mild
there pretty quickly. The next round of Arctic air, though already poised to
come on in here for the weekend today, most of us getting the mid
upper thirties tonight near twenty, so up a few degrees from where we are
this morning, which is basically in the teens, and tomorrow will be closer
to normal, close to fifty, and we'll see clouds and crees gonna bring
some rain in Tomorrow night into early Friday. Try head west. There may
be some sleet or freezing rain mixed in you get into the mountains at higher
elevations, probably some snow. I don't anticipate any travel trouble Friday, is
it. If you're driving around, check your car thermometer if it's near thirty
two, close enough that maybe you're running into some ice or maybe some freezing
rain or snow. Again emphasizing this doesn't look like it's gonna be a big
deals A week. Low should probably go over the top of US or just
north of US, which is not a favorable track for wintry weather, but
it will drag the next Arctic front through up Saturday. Upper teen's low twenties
barely get above freezing Saturday, but a nice sunny day in the teen Saturday
night, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon near forty, ended up near fifty by
Monday, probably well into the fifties sometime next week, maybe even close to
sixty for some of us by about Tuesday or Wednesday. So nice warm up
coming, Just going to take a few days to get there. Okay,
all right, thank you, we'll talk tomorrow, sir. Have a good
one and Jeff Bellinger joins us next. Hang on smart talk all day ninety
four to five w PTI in the Triad and six one FM Talk in the
Triangle. It's eight fifty three. Good morning, You're Bloombery up date now
with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening? Well, good morning. Casey
Stock started the holiday shortened week with a losing session. The Dow was down
two hundred and thirty two points yesterday, a big drag from Boeing on the
Blue Chips. Boeing shares fell nearly eight percent. The aerospace company, of
course, dealing with growing concerns about aircraft safety, just got word from Washington
that consumers continued to spend at the end of last year, making December a
good month for retailers. The government reports retail sales rows six tenths percent.
The increase with autos excluded was four tenths percent. The increase overall the biggest
in three months. The federal government may crack down on banks overdraft fees.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has proposed that banks only be allowed to charge overdrawn
customers what it costs for them to break even for covering an overdraft. The
agency is considering capping fees at fourteen dollars or less. Banks currently charge customers
at average of thirty five dollars for overdrawing their accounts. Businesses cannot afford to
be lacks about cybersecurity. JP Morgan Chase says hackers attempt to infiltrate its systems
forty five billion times a day. That was not a typo forty five billion.
Mary Callahan Urdos, heads the Banking Giants Asset and Wealth Management Division,
to Old Bloomberg, the bad guys are getting smarter, savvyer, quicker,
and more devious. She says, It's hard to stay one step ahead of
the criminals, and it will get harder and the Casey home loan demand picked
up last week. Mortgage bankers report overall application volume was up nearly ten and
a half percent. Casey, Jeff, can I ask you two quick questions?
Okay? First, new balance or sketcher slip ons. What's what do
you think's more comfortable of? More recently, I've had sketchers. Oh okay,
all right, team sketchers, and is your index finger or ring finger
longer? No, they're about they're even okay, all right, good you're
not a psychopath. That's a story out of Canada about that, so all
right, good job, okay, all right, hey, yeah, there
you go, Jeff Ellinger not a psychopath and team sketcher. So you got
that craziness man. Speaking of craziness, the folks up in New Jersey within
the New Jersey State Park System, have announced a new mask requirement for several
of their inside I guess National Park or nash or at national parkscuse me,
State Park and or state memorials. This would include as you go down the
list, let's see the New Jersey New Jersey National Parks. Sorry, scroll
right past the list here. Well, anyway, there's a handful of them,
including at New Jersey National Park, which is his own thing, and
the Sandy Hook Visitors Center. Yo, don't I don't want to be that
guy. You you're requiring people to wear masks to the Sandy Hook Visitors Center.
Do you like do you know what Lanza was wearing? You wear do
was wearing a mask? So there's that, Just so you know, I'm
just throwing it out there something to think about. I mean, those are
the faux pause that the other way around, people will be the media'd be
losing their damn minds over. Also, not to be outdone, you hear
at the state of Georgia dead. If you got a stone mountain, you
gotta wear a COVID hood right, craziness man, and then you can journal
all of it in your new iPhone feature. So this is perfect for you
since your now psychopath coardy Canadian researchers. So what if this new feature showed
up after an update? It's a journal, which is not an unuseful thing,
but once it's like they want a whole dear diary thing. Yeah.
I just woke up this morning and it's part of an updated is on my
home screen. Yeah, and they like journal. I'm like, what's this
is? Like? Tell everything that happened in your day. I'm like,
nice, try fed. There's no way I murdered a drifter with my k
bar well, and then when that wasn't enough, I murdered another drifter with
the long pole thing you used to tram bushes. It's been a busy day.
The best part though, is after all that my back felt fight.
Well that's I mean, that's what's important because of these amazing New Balance shoes.
It's great, it's good for your sciatica. Did you want him to
be on Team Sketcher or New Balance. I'm just shocked that he that he
knew what it was. Why would you be shocked? I mean, you've
never heard of shoes, Casey, that's fair. Yeah, that's big shoe
propaganda right there. Man, tell they get you. And then you know
also with like glass on the ground, you're like, ah, I guess
I need shoes or another tetnis shot. All right, there you go plenty
to think about while you huddle inside for warmth with your children because apparently they
can't go to school on time. So yay for that. See you back
here tomorrow. Have a good one.
