All right, good morning everybody, and welcome me to Friday. Yeah,
we gotta do it. I know, I am still in search of these
really smart people who are like, we're gonna do it, four day work
week, it's gonna be amazing. But we're not there yet, so we
trudged on in whichever endeavor we decide you is for us. I try to
stay in Melane. However, my lane is unique what we do here because
we we you know, we have to analyze different things that maybe aren't our
day to day, so you try to do your best. That's why you
have phone lines so people can call in and be like, nah, you're
you're you're wrong, or yes, I actually have some knowledge. And here's
why that's correct, And that's why we do what we do. Having a
little we have a little chit chat. That's why before if I render some
you know, political opinion that has to do with any sort of medical stuff.
Right, I want to clarify for you. I'm not a doctor,
but we we just made you know, we boop in the old site,
give it a once over. Boom. Not a doctor, because I want
you to understand who you're getting your info from. Also, not a political
consultant or campaign manager. I'm not Ross. You're neither of those things,
right, Just just to be clear here, so we get you're Ross is
neither of those things. I'm pointing this out because yesterday I'm just chilling.
I'm just hanging out. I'm just doing a thing. And it's that part
of the day where I kind of get back into the news cycle because and
I've explained it at nauseum to you kind of how the the the old schedule
works around here, and lo and behold, as I'm going, hmm,
i't watch the Duke wake Forest game later? Yeah, I probably wanted to
do that. Do I want to Thursday night football? For a moment my
brain got confused and thought it was the Bill's Bengals, but that Sunday night.
I'm not trying to rub that into Ross, but there was like an
hour yesterday where I flip flopped in my brain, which it was gonna be.
So imagine my disappointment when I'm like, oh, yeah, that one.
But then all of a sudden, I'm I'm distracted. Why is the
traffic extra extra bat out on the Durham Highway there? Why are folks who
are just trying to get from their grind, their day to day there whatever
they do, back to their families, a little bit of respite on a
Thursday. Maybe their kids got something for school. Right, why are they
having to sit there on the highway more so than usual? Right? You
know what you sign up for. So when it's a little some extra,
it's it's it's incredibly frustrating. And I find out that the reason was because
a bunch of moonbat, a bunch of Moonbat protesters said, you know what,
let's just let's go block the Durham Freeway about how about that? And
as you can imagine, it caused ripples in my inbox. Those of you
out there sending me photos who are literally stuck in this, I'm sorry for
you. What the hell is going on? You want to know? ESPN
if you didn't see any of the pre coverage of the Duke wake Forest game,
they literally were having to point out that this thing was happening, and
it was. It had been impactful on the buses for Wake Forest to what
extent I still don't fully understand, but our buses one way or the other.
The point is this, So at this point now I got to turn
on my stupid show host brain and go oh. I thought we could just
have a day. I thought we could have a day where I didn't have
to sit here and and and and get into this crap, you know,
because it's Friday, and I got we we barely nicked the surface yesterday of
a movie. I want a little movie story I wanted to chit chat about.
And I got another one that's gonna come with it today and it's gonna
get into more of that, and we're gonna talk to Pete Callander. We'll
do a little week wrap wrap up. We got. We had the whole
Veterans Day parade crap. That's how you know we're not political consultants, because
both Ross and I were able to spot the folly in canceling Christmas and Veterans
Days events. But I digress. So as I analyzed a pro Palestinian rally
or a pro cease fire but with a bunch of Palestinian flags, which the
governmental Controlling Unit of Palestine is SAMAS currently, so like, I recognize there's
people they're in that mushy middle who don't like that. But still that's the
reality I have to ask myself while viewing it through the lens of perhaps a
campaign consultant or political consultant, the messaging that emerges from that, and how
that aligns with one of the deeply held concerns of a lot of people on
how Hamas and in this case and the Palestinian governmental organization in control chooses to
wage war. Because now you're asking me to weigh in on that. You're
saying, hey, we think there needs to be a ceasefire, and then
me, I have to analyze the situation see whether I agree with you,
and then if I do, I'm not going to go block a freeway with
you, but I've at least thought it through, and I want to put
in Layman's terms and see if you all understand your method of protest on behalf
of or in support of the Palestinian people and by association, the Hamas government,
because they are the controlling government. There was to render the people who
were in the population center that is Durham the inability of egress. So in
even simpler terms, your protest was intended to keep people from being able to
leave a densely populated geographic area. Because I don't know if you know this,
one of the concerns that some people have brought up on this whole thing
is and then it's a touch point for many stories is the inability of citizenry,
although in this case not the folks who work in Durham maybe live over
in Morrisville or wherever. Not the inability of them to go from densely populated
center to elsewhere, but rather Hamaz's decision to not allow people to go from
their densely populated area god Asa Strip, West Bank, big big population centers
to leave even when they're being hit with flyers and you know, phone updates
and warnings and messages saying hey, you all need to get out of there.
You guys need to get out of there because trouble's coming, and trouble's
coming based on this thing, because that's where that's where the analysis should be
able to start. Did this thing that happened on the seventh of October is
Israel justified in the response after that? But the complicating factory is so many
of the things that are going on right now that I see people screaming at
each other over like going after you know, the whole hospital insanity, or
trying to take out leaders Hamas leaders who have trenched themselves in in proximity to
quote unquote refugee camps, but not official refugee camps, mind you, but
ones that still continue to be in the interior so as to build up a
nice little wall of bodies, if you will. Is the blockage of thoroughfares
and exit ways and egresses of people. And that's the method you chose.
And I know this is a long time getting here, but sometimes I feel
like maybe the most simple first thing that pops into my brain where I'm just
like, with the first glance, I'm like, this is too easy.
I have to take a step back and go, you know what, maybe
I'm just a savant at this crap. Maybe I just, you know,
I'm just really good at it. And some people are not understanding it,
and they don't realize the utter irony and dumb assory required to stage a protest
on behalf of individuals led by an organization who is keeping many of those very
same individuals from also being able to get from in the analogy here downtown Durham
to Morrisville or wherever it may be. That's what that was. Now,
I know what you're saying. You're saying, well, at least this easily
discernible criminal offense, according to North Carolina law, was then dealt with by
local law enforcement who had jurisdiction. And that, my friends, that's going
to be part two. I wanted nothing to do with this, and here
we are and it rolls on. Next Hang on the iHeartRadio app. All
right, six twenty four, Good morning and a half beach Friday phone number
eight eight eight nine for four seven eight seventy four. You can look forward
to, Uh, well, we really stupid people, but also I would
like to think some good analysis by smart people. Pete Calender he'll join us
at eighth five. We just got to trudge through all of the insanity.
And as we trudge, you know you know how to participate. Pretty simple,
pretty simple stuff. And I know I don't have to baby explain stuff
to you like I do to people who want to advocate for something, and
then do so in a manner directly copying one of the things that is most
irritating Lee against your position, in the form of blocking roads, which by
the way, is illegal in North Carolina. I'm not sure if you're aware
of this, and I understand why you would not be sure, because you
and I have all seen videos of people doing that in Durham, in Raleigh,
in Charlotte, on the interstate, in Charlotte, looting the truck,
Let's set it on fire. Why the hell not? Hey, there's a
there's some more shopping places we can lootle. Let's do that. And they
say, you get into this gray area. But the law doesn't cease to
exist. And when it comes to demonstrations, we have Supreme Court guidance on
appropriateness of venue, which is still in and of itself a little rubbery of
a subject right and something that is oft enough for debate when it comes to
like how close can I be? Will they be able to hear our protests?
And I recognize that that is something that we do have to get right,
or are our best attempt to. But I don't know how we haven't
figured out this standing in the road thing, because it's not like it's a
new thing. How cities do not have a game plan for this insanity baffles
me. Well, they do, and it sounds like this second degree tres
pa. Rightly, your a violation of general fat You mean in twenty fourth
sitting or lying upon a highway or street credit mm hm you're fifteen minutes,
team say minutos fifteen minutes. I don't know how to say that in the
what is the prevailing palace in any language? It's not FIRSTA. But my
point is that's true. What he just said is true. And you'll notice
they also strove for accuracy in that. So with that in mind, and
with the insanity that it caused, not just for my ability to watch a
college football game, but for the ability of many of those and the sound
of my voice, to go about their day to day lives knowing that that
is a law in the books, how many arrests do you think they conducted?
How many people found themselves in violation of that law? Even after Warren,
Hey, you're going to be in violation of this law, just so
you know, Just so you know, and you do you think law enforcement
then took into custody, which, by the way, used to be a
hallmark of a protest right. It was this this unsigned but implied contract that
we're gonna do something and hell no, we won't go and you're gonna move
us. But we're willing to suffer this, this penalty because we believe so
stringently and what it is we believe it your day Smarter one O six one
FM Talk and News Talk n w PTI more with Casey starts now. All
right, so welcome back to thirty five. Hope you had a little chance
to ponder and think about and uh, you know, guess how many jellybeans
are in the bar? So uh as the as the protests shut down,
the ability of people to literally leave a geographic area in this case, not
because the bombing campaigns underway and they've been literally told, but rather because their
workday is done and they want to get back to see their family or even
their pet, you know, or just not be at work anymore, or
do what they're gonna do, or go about their life with that in mind,
and knowing that on the books in North Carolina, as stated by law
enforcement on the scene, there are laws in North Carolina saying you can't do
this. How many of the protesters do you think we're arrested? I don't
even need the yodel guy because it's none. The answer is zero. They
arrested none of them. And instead they decided, well, you know,
first and foremost, let's and and I want to be abundantly clear, here
does my beefly with the Durham PD officers. I don't know the totality of
law enforcement because at that point it's the state trooper issue partially too, I
don't know, but the law enforcement on the ground there it lies with the
effeckless powers that be up the food chain. And when I say up the
food chain, that doesn't just mean they're direct supervisors. It also means the
people who are the next step in the judicial process, i e. If
I arrest this protester for clearly violating the law, being outside the bounds of
First Amendment production protections as dictated by Supreme Court knowledge and opinions that have been
rendered, that individual will most likely not nothing will happen because I'm now then
having to turn to the district attorney to do their damn job. And I
share that frustration. But it needs to be abundantly clear that that is what
is transpiring here, because I'm pretty sure, and I'm not gonna name names,
but based on some of the texts I got from officers, including officers
who work in and around the Durham area, will leave it that vague.
They kind of wanted to make arrests. They that's what they were, they
were, they were just they were overflowing with toxic masculinity. For all you
haters, let me give you your little dream here with toxic masculinity. And
they wanted to go hats and bats. Well, in reality, they want
to go hats and bats. They just wanted to literally have the road open
so the so that they can go get a coffee or something I don't know,
or go deal with what is likely probably bigger issues within the jurisdiction which
they patrol. And meanwhile, the guy sitting in this who's like, I
gotta I gotta drive my kid to you know, soccer or this thing we
have or whatever, and now I'm not gonna make it. And now my
wife and she's over here, and now she's got to be over here,
and we got to camp moove all this? Uh does it isn't yearning for
a quote, ability to be educated. And according to one of the protest
organizers, the opportunity to quote I would like them to join us, to
get out of their cars and join us. That's a quote in the w
r L article, which has a fun headline, of one of the organizers,
who is described as well, hold on, let me be very clear.
Here they did a floating head thing here where did a Ruben Bloyce?
I believe that is the Yeah, okay, so Bloyce is a rabbinical student,
I believe. And you're thinking, well, Kse, you said it
was a pro Palestinian protest and when you say a rabbinical student, that's a
rabbi and that's the Jewish faith. And I understand all of that. But
what you don't understand is a name. Not everything is in a name,
because the organizing group here is a a pro Palestinian group. And you don't
even have to take my word for it. That's literally how Ral even reported
it, known as Jewish Voice for Peace. Okay, so you have rabbinical
but it is I want you to understand again a pro Palestinian protest. And
that's that's who put this together. That's who decided to do this. And
the reason they decided to do this is because we have, as one of
the emailer emailer put it, and I'll use it in the more generic sense,
we have abandoned the rule of law and stuff like this. And there's
a natural hesitancy, or there should be a natural hesitancy from people in positions
of power to be very careful when it comes to constitutionally protected activities. There
is a fine line there, and you see it not just in this in
protests like this. You see it in First Amendment auditor videos. Who've seen
some of those, You see it, and just even people don't consider it
themselves really of that ilk who just choose to say, look, I'm what
I'm doing is constitutionally protected and leave me alone. Some do it in a
very aggressive manner, some doing it in a more polite manner. And every
now and then there's videos that you don't see, the ones that go,
well, you know what I'm saying. Usually, but it seems tactical at
this point to say, when it comes to protests that tick a certain box
within a certain side of the political atmosphere, that we will wholesale ignore these
laws while over grievously overcharging people of the other political side when we feel that
they have violated laws that surround what is appropriate protest. And again that is
not in January sixth, But not the guys hitting police with poles. I'm
talking about the people taking pictures who walk through an open door past Capitol police
who were playing bejeweled on their phones, or people who never attended who like
to draw cartoons. So they made zero arrests that I'm aware of that I've
seen flipping anywhere and WRAL article headlined anti war protesters almost arrested after blocking freeway
for hours. And there's even a quote here that I'm going to have to
push back on. Here we go, Noah Rubin Bloyce, the student rabbi
in attendance. We are demanding a ceasefire, and our elected officials have the
power to do that, do they. I don't disagree that we have great
influence on it. Absolutely absolutely, And if that's what you want to advocate
for, then more power to you. I feel that the issue here is
more complicated than that, because, as was pointed out that on January excuse
me, October sixth, right the day before the attack on the rave there
or the outdoor of the music festival, in a way that was they were
in a ceasefire, so like a ceasefire existed. And you couple that with
the people who are high up within the political power structure of Hamas doing interviews
like this and don't worry, I'll translate for you. You. Oh wait,
hold on, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry I misread with that thing one. So the reason I'm not going
to play the cut is because he's speaking uh, and then it is translated.
But I encourage you if you think I'm I'm screwing the translation. What
the Hamas individual is saying is hey, uh, we're going to keep doing
this and none of it matters, and we're going to do it until we
achieve our goal. And our goal is that of the purge of any of
the Jews from any of that land mass over there, bye by death or
by getting on a boat, to getting on a plane or you know,
hitching a ride and says that on the on the air there. So yeah,
that's I feel like that's you know, that should be part of this
conversation. But yeah, zero rass. People feel as other government isn't going
to do anything. Again, law enforcement not doing it, but also not
doing it either through orders or through the recognition that their work will be undone
moments later, although it would clear the road, but then I guess maybe
they would get punished. I don't know. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and
we're gonna keep continuing down this road. I this this particular thing here,
and I understand they'll just be a new There'll be a new game. Either
people can block roads for any deeply held belief or they can't. That's how
you have to look at this. You can't individualize, you can't double stand,
you can't do any of that. You have to say this is the
law and we're going to enforce it, or we're not. And I know
I sound like a broken record, but again, they are not. And
I promise you if that was a group of pro Trump supporters or people protesting,
if people were shutting down Capital Boulevard as it's spilled out of the north
end of downtown Raleigh in protest over this hit job that the powers that be
have carried out on the Veterans Day Parade, I kind of feel like they'd
be dealt with. That's just me speculating and stuff, but you know,
hey, that's what we're here to do because we're having a conversation. So
if I'm dumb and I'm wrong and whatever, call me. If I'm not,
because I'm not, you can also call and agree and maybe bring a
little something, a little insight, because I don't want to do this on
a Friday. I want to talk about stupid stuff. I want to talk
about movies and food news and how this dude in Vegas is like, like
Florida needs to immediately try to get a trade figured out because this dude's putting
up real numbers. It's a Florida mand story from you know, two thousand
miles away. That's what I want to talk about, and it is.
It will be part of the show and we'll get to more and more of
it coming up on the KCO Day Radio program. Case is on ninety four
five w PTI on the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, six fifty three ACO Day Radio program. Really unbiased opinion
situation term that is an says of my call screener, and the color is
Jamal. All right, we'll fall for that trap. What the hell it's
Friday, Yeah, Jamal, what's going on? Ojac? I'm gonna give
you a fair and unbiased opinion on the crash. People in term in control?
Okay, all right, all right, well, I guess go ahead.
That's why people shot down dead all in the street here in Durham.
Because now as we see, not only is it the idiotic prosecutor that ignore
crimes. That it's the police. Sheef, that's a call from the police.
Year Even if said tann of Doomberry refuses to prosecute, you know what,
the police can still arrest them. It's rolls them in jail and you
all right. If this had been myself and Emanuel Jarvis and all of us
from a Durham County GOP and we would have went out down blocked the street.
Of course someone us some of the arms, the numbers are older.
We would have got out there, sat down in the middle of the street
and said, because of unfair we want to support Israel, which I support
Israel. Israel need to wipe them off the map. They'll sit there and
throw me in jail. Oh they oh, they just can't wait for me
to do something so they can all me off to jail. Oh, you
gonna see a Rodney kingstyle a rescue. I would do something up here,
but they see this is the problem. And this is why one of the
reasons I hope Mark Robinson if he gets in officer and God tell more,
I don't know how this man go run for Congress because he has not really
did anything for the Republican Party to question it as we see. And you
know, I am a Trump support. I got to say this. The
people in the House and Senate can pass stuff and have us a red state
just like Florida. Ronder Sentence is doing a good job. That's because he
has a good house Senate, but he can off but our house more,
we have a veto proof we can. We can't throw that stuff out,
but we won't do it because they're more worries about about we gonna see racist
And this is the crap that's going on doing in the streets now. And
I hold all your Jewish listeners, all people who are the Jewish background,
look at what's happening. These people are anti committee. The dude who's leading
the charge, according to the quotes in the article, and given the quotes,
as a rabbinical student, he's a Jewish faith student. Ah yeah,
right, Okay, well, no, I believe he probably is. I
believe I believe that that is in fact what he what he is involved with.
So you know, it's that's why this is a much more complex issue
than that. I have another thing, how about when when somebody's blocking streets,
we uh, you know, you know, how they do pop up
stuff that's like the cute little thing pop up restaurant event, or pop up
this pop up that I got, some pop up thing they're doing up at
North Hills because they're trying to pitch interviews. How about pop up Native American
reservations and we let the Nevada Reservation Police come in and handle this because they
don't seem to have a problem making this not a problem as oh no,
yeah, no, you know what, No, they don't, the Nevada
police. I was so happy when I saw the reservation police throw them out
because, you know what, because they're sick and tired of these and I'm
gonna say it, I'm not trying to be raised these white liberals and these
and their black calm hand picks getting in way talking and yelling about stuff they
don't understand. Don't know. One of these people literally when you ask them,
well, what about the Jewish people that was murdered, Well, in
the making excuses because you're an American, you're over here, and I've been
wanting to bet you that same person when he's attacked by Israelis, or excuse
when he's attacked by Muslims, he goes, well, that's because the colonialism
and white supremacy though, that's because you're a dealer with twelve or three barbarians.
Yeah, and here's the deal. And I appreciate to call them up
against the back of the hour. Jamal have herself a good one there.
Here's the deal. You can hold all of those thoughts. God bless you
do your thing, and you can stream at the top of your lungs,
but do it from the breakdown lane or somewhere else. That's I mean,
that's the beef here. Okay, you can you can have all the opinions,
whether I think they're great or dumb. You could do all of that.
But it is the act in which they've chosen to participate that I think
is really an issue here. All right, good morning, everybody, got
a welcomed our number two here on your Friday kc O Day radio program.
Glad to have you along. So we got at moonbat walking rush hour traffic
out of Durham, say, because they want Keith in the Middle East or
something, and so they thought literally mirroring a practice that is extremely concerning in
a huge topic of discussion as it pertains to the Israeli conflict going on there
about where you tell a bunch of people that they can't leave one area geographically
and go it to the go to the other, and you use that as
your form of protest. Brilliant, But none of you got arrested for it,
even though in the article they that Ral wrote about quote anti war protesters,
Casey Kinsella point out that she spells it very different. So do not
associate me, he can sell a volunteer at the protests quote people are willing
to risk arrest? Are they? Because I would I would submit that they
didn't really have a fear of being arrested when you're when when you're an organizer
for this stuff and and there's a there are people behind the scenes. Don't
think that everything spontaneous. Most of it's not. Some of it is,
but most of it's not. You know full well that the likelihood of arrest,
and even if there was arrest, the likelihood of anybody actually being held
to full account is virtually none in the area you're doing this, which is
why you do it. But then to say that ronically there's something we're seeing
this is I'm continuing the quote, there's something we're seeing across the country in
the world when it comes to civil disobedience, which is true by the way,
that particular quote right there. And the reason that's true is because we
are seeing a thing, except we're apparently seeing it through different lenses than Miss
Consola here, and that lens is you can do whatever you please. You
can you can block traffic, you can destroy businesses. You can even though
people are locked down and not allowed to even gather in their own cars spaced
away and listen to somebody, you know, talk about Jesus once a week.
You can go and you can still do all of the things you want,
as long as you're doing it for the right side. And that will
And how do I know that, because the powers that be will literally participate
with you with mass hanging off their ears. So I don't think they risked
they risked arrest. I think I think that if I went into a store
in Texas, and I'm not talking big city Texas, I mean like Rule
Texas, and decided I was going to go commit me a robbery because I
need money for whatever, and this liquor store looks like they have it coming.
At that point in my mind, I think if I was a sane
person, which I don't know why you would do that if you were,
but I would feel that I'm risking a number of things, arrest, probably
being shot by the dude that the liquor store has kind of been waiting for
it, And I would have all these thoughts in my brain that would perhaps
inform me on whether I think this is a good idea or not. And
if I'm confident enough to channel through all of that, I might recon sit
or where I want to rob. Maybe go find me a gun free zone
or a nice little blue area, or you get where we're going here.
So don't give me that risk and arrest stuff. Nobody's nobody's believing that,
and they're especially not believing it when they don't arrest you, even though they
give you a fifteen minute warning. However, will coordinate the ability of emergency
traffic to pass through, because in a way that mitigates one of the actual
problems where people have pushed back in greater numbers, when they'll turn a blind
eye to you protesting inconveniencing people if they agree with you. But about the
time a woman who's I don't know giving birth, has a major emergency while
locked on a bridge in Missouri, I think it was Saint Louis, Missouri.
Because of protesters, it did tend to turn the tide of some public
opinion onion. So now, in coordination with the police, the protesters are
able to facilitate the passage of emergency vehicles as they're literally doing right here in
the video, and they don't have to worry about that blowback. I mean,
who's working for who? I don't feel like they're working for the commuters
at that point. They couldn't have mitigated that more thoroughly. Couldn't have mitigated
that more thoroughly. Meanwhile, you got hamas, uh you know, politburoed
idiots doing interviews and they're like, yeah, we'll do the thing on the
seventh. Yeah, We're gonna keep doing that until we get what we want.
Oh, what is that? Is that? What parody of land?
Is it? Governmental? You want? You want some more seats and control?
I mean what we want all the Jews gone? That was literally what
he said. So they you have to ask yourself, Okay, is that
anacceptable outcome? And if you arrive at that, then maybe just maybe you
should own it. You're pro eradication of all the Jews there. And again,
this is not my advocacy for the US sticking their nose in this.
The US needs to go get a cup of coffee, catch up with an
old friend. You know what I'm saying, right, be like, oh,
man, I was getting coffee. I didn't I didn't see what happened.
It's so blatant. Man, did you see the reporter, one of
the Palestinian reporters at the press conference in Washington, d C. Talking about
this and he opens with this in the phrasing of the questions, Palistinia civilians
have fallen so far, including one hundred and sixty of my own relatives.
Wait, okay, it's hard to hear at the beginning there. So he
says the eight thousand, I think was the number ones, and again that's
that's the number one from Hamas, but it's the second. It's the other
number. He throws out that. I'm I'm I'm having a little trouble with
so again, sir, I'm sorry, it's very early. So Palatina civilians
have fallen so far, including one hundred sixty of my own relatives. This
man in what is it the third of November? And this was actually two
days ago. Okay, So over the course of what like two weeks,
he has had one hundred and sixty of his family members killed, and he's
still able to get up, put pants on, put a nice shirt on,
get all his reporter stuff, and head on down to the old spokes
whole opportunity so he can fire this question. Palasina civilians have fallen so far,
including one hundred sixty of my own relatives, and I'm just wondering how
many Palaestinian civilians need to be killed before the United States called for a ceasefire.
First of all, my condolences to you and your family. By the
way, this is John Kirby's throwing the question too. Are you in touch
with some well, how could he be in touch with them, John Kirby?
They're all dead, all because I couldn't name one hundred and sixty relatives
even passively, like I know of their existence but have never met them.
And this guy not only has has had this happen, he has the full
number, and he's been able to ascertain this in the middle of a dumpster
fire in the course of two weeks, which is wild when you think about
it, because it's only now that they're you know, coming out and being
like, we found a skull piece of that SHANEA. Luca, the woman
at the in the back of the truck taken away from the music festival.
We think, right, the testing says it is and here's our best opinion,
and then everybody argues it out. But but this guy was able.
He'd got you got the whole list one hundred and sixty. But he also
has the mental stamina to go and continue to work. It's simply amazing.
There's not as much as I count, not as much as you'd like to
be. Yeah, but I'm very sorry to hear that. I'm very sorry
to hear that. And so I can see this is obviously personal for you.
I tell you personal, except it's personal times one hundred and sixty.
John Kirby, Personal times one hundred and sixty. Now I recognize that I
run through the filter of my own brain, and I'm like, I don't
know if I could name one hundred and sixty people, you know, where
i'd be knowledgeable enough to know of their existence who I am related to.
I mean, obviously there is, It's just the nature of generational tree,
you know, family trees. But but to have, you know, have
the active knowledge of the existence those hundred and sixty folks who have been killed
in two weeks and you've been able to also get all that information is it's
that's amazing. And while I may not share that experience, maybe I'm the
outlier. Maybe I'm the outlier. You know, maybe some of you and
I don't necessarily know what the number is, but maybe you during previous conflict.
Maybe you know, over the course of the Vietnam War, you lost
three hundred family members. And I'm being insensitive and I don't mean to be.
Maybe that's the thing that happened, and for you, I'm sorry,
that's horrific. I you know, this is why I give leeway to grieving
families in these situations where even it may be appear, it may be appearing
that their family member was pretty participatory in what happened to them. You know,
I e some of the police interactions where I, you know, we're
moms out there, and I'm like, I'm not. I understand that she's
going to see stuff through mom lens, But one hundred and sixty the other
reporters in the room are having trouble holding it together and ironically will not report
or you know, even say anything about it because it's just so stupid.
So, uh, maybe maybe some of you, maybe some of you out
there who love doing you know, the family tree stuff and show roots here
in North Carolina for generations going back pre Civil War? Even right, so,
how many? How many now I have to I have to go based
on size of the US population around the Civil War? Did you suffer in
excess of one hundred and sixty family casualties even not just in the first two
weeks, but over the course of that. I think you'd be hard pressed
to come up with that. I think you'd have a little trouble there.
But this guy, he's got he's got the he's got the numbers, he's
got the stats. So good for him, all right, Uh seven eighteen
CaCO Day Radio program. We will not dwell completely in the Middle East or
the streets of Durham, which are then part of that conversation. We will
try to give you a larger overview of a few things going on, like
that Vegas story. Hunter Biden's back in the news for once. It's not
a picture of his junk, but it is concerning pictures of his junk,
I guess, and much more. To get to case O Day radio program,
Hang on hell over the checking my email? There play that audio that
a reporter for one of the Palestinian news solids in the presser with John Kirby
talking about how, so far, in just a very short period of time,
he has had one hundred and sixty of his family members killed in this
conflict, all of which were obviously we're probably non combatants, ran charities or
stuff. But I mean, it's a staggering number. And they're saying,
well, John Kirby's accepting those numbers, and that's part of the problem.
I will say this, and I've had my John Kirby beefs man, what
do you want to do? I mean, because I recognize as it's so
absurd that anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows this guy's full of
crap. And even it kind of sounds in John Kirby's voice like he's he's
being diplomatically sarcastic. That's my take. So civilians have fallen so far,
including one hundred and sixty of my own relatives, and I'm just wondering how
many Palaestinian civilians need to be killed before the United States called for a ceasefire.
First of all, my condolences to you and your family. Are you
in touch with some well that there's as much as I can not as much
as you have to do. Yeah, but I'm very sorry. Yeah,
I'm very sorry. So I can see that John Kirby doesn't buy that.
Okay, John Kirby, Yes, he's a shill in many cases, and
it frustrates me to a great extent. But what do you wanted to do?
Go bull? You got a list, show me the list. We'll
get the guys cracking over at c I A on it now. The absurdity
stands upon itself, I guess would be my take. But again, also
I'm viewing this with the lens of me and my family, and maybe it's
different now right ross you guys, what you guys lost World War Two?
What was it about? I'm just being told that I just lost all five
thousand members of my klan, in fact, all of them on the Sacred
Timeline. I'm looking at a polaroid in myself right now, and I'm fading
out in the polaroid. What are you? You're just standing there with your
brother and sister. What is happening? I don't know. My my parents
were supposed to make out during the Enchantment under the Sea dance. Apparently,
as you do. Yeah, they've been wiped out. So oh we're gonna
best of we gotta throw the best of No, okay, so this is
all just that, that's what this is. You just want to go home,
Okay, But I don't blame you. It's Friday, man, it
is early, and everyone's stupid. All five thousand have you checked in with
their all multiverse counterparts? Do we know if they're around? Break? It
looks like King two demo too. Okay, tick, well, somebody's mind
stop him. He seems he seems very powerful. Don't worry. We have
we have kept in Marvel. Oh that's right, I forgot about that.
So yeah, that's going to come into another discussion, which you know,
frankly, I was actually going to get into here probably after the bottom of
the hour. So we'll use that as a bit of a teaser, and
I'll couple it with another story that I was read. Nicholas Page was all
but hurt yesterday, and I understand why he you know, he's doing it
through the lens of an artist, but I'm doing it through the lens of
a consumer, and I'm equally it's equally as dumb. So it's not the
biggest issue in the world. It is one of those slippery slope items.
So more on that coming up. Smart Talk all day, n w PTI
and the Triad and what else one FM talked in the triangle. Yeah,
it made it made me har horror on this fine morning, and I didn't
think I was in a hor horror mood. So I just saw a video
and I did. I did laugh a little because I just tell Ross about
it. I did retweet it if you want to go see it. But
I'll play the audio too, because I just need anything. I just need
something. I need the weekend to be here. Is the weekend here?
It is almost here, and we'll get an updated what that weather's going to
look like with Jeffino coming up, because you know how ray stage it is,
you've got football concerns and he's got a safe space it before and after
apparently, so he's not here today. And for I didn't know who does
Clemson play? Why is my brain network? I know Dallas plays Philly and
that's obviously a big deal in the pro stuff. So we'll we'll see how
he's doing, but Jeffino will do a bang up job. I am sure,
all right, So let me grab a quick phone call here and then
I'll get into some of that entertainment stuff, which is actually more cultural stuff,
but isn't everything these days. But back to what happened in Durham yesterday,
Corey, thanks for hanging on. What's up I pod morning? Hey,
I just want I just want to go back to the Durham protests and
I have a different take and it may be a little harsh, but the
fact of the matter is, okay, law enforcement. Law enforcement has a
social contract with the citizens. We give up certain rights in return for protection
right and and the fact and for me, those officers that were on then
they they should be ashamed of themselves. They should be assumed themselves. They
should be a shamed with the department because they were not upholding the law and
protecting the citizens and sucking you can add. Let me ask you a question,
because I'll let you go through all of your stuff. Do you think
that they didn't make the arrest because they're inner personal desires were that they didn't
want they use what is a tool of law enforcement right discretion that they decided
in there in their individual discretion not to arrest them. Or do you think
it was influenced by either what they thought the DA would do or perhaps what
people higher up in the food chain were ordering them to do. Where do
you think? I believe it was probably an order that came down from higher
above, which was an unethical order or retailure Act. And their inability to
stand up and say no, we're not just going to stand by. You
know that it's equal for the protesters. If there is no friction to their
decisions, then they're not going to change their behavior. Why would the leadership
of the police department change their direction if the officers of that department don't stand
up and say no, that's not right. We're here to do our job
and we're going to do it as a team. But they do, and
they do in some ways do that though, and it's it's representative. I
don't know what Durham's numbers are, but in the city of Raleigh they have
one hundred open positions. So while it may not be there, the officers
that are there, as the officers thinking about being there, or the ones
who are leaving departments in the bigger cities and going to departments in smaller communities.
No, I understand that. And and it's not an easy job.
And before the caller the calls in saying you think it's so great, once
you come do it. I've done it. I know your background and this
is this is something that that that you've done. And uh, could you
send me an email on this? And I want you to make the point
you made in the email, because I was going to make it, but
I don't want to steal your thunder although I have made it before us you're
copying me. The inevitability of losing the public, losing that trust is what
it's a break of faith and eventually set this in to feel that they have
no alternative by e the law enforcement protecting them and upholding the law will eventually
take something into their own hands, like somebody driving through the protests and causing
you know, great bodily harm or death. Yea. And that would that
liability of wrest on those officers who are unwilling to act and go against the
unethical order from their leadership. Yeah, this is this is why, this
is this is so messy and and while there are it's easy to define.
I think really the channels I was coming through, it takes uh, what
is it that Hillary said, It takes a village, right, It takes
a village to do this stuff. And ironically, if they drove through,
they'd be immediately arrested and there'd be a documentary. And this is where we
although they did have the one guy drove off in Durham and they didn't do
anything, which then caused another protest, but nobody was hurt. And I
am and I am. I'm gonna let you clarify you are not. I'm
not advocating. You're not advocating. I don't protesters to be turned into meat
crams. You know what I'm saying. That's not what I'm asking for.
No longodical arrest process and not violence. So absolutely, and and the things
that people need to the officers need to remember is there's a lot more of
us that support them. Like if you look at Wake County after the cannon
officer was killed and the officers that were reassigned because the old sheriff didn't get
his away with the funeral, look what happened. He's he's out of a
job now, you know, so we just just stand up. Probably want
just stand up do your job. Well that I'm I'm with you, man,
That's why we continue to bring this up. All right, We'll let
you get back to doing whatever. Right it says you're you're at the gym,
rosters out on my call screeners. Are you wait? Are you one
of these dudes and yourself at the gym and then yells at people when they
walk in front of your shot. You're not that guy? Are you absolutely
not? Okay? All right? Or have you said about my headphones on
keep my head down at workout? Yeah? Yeah? And and obviously stare
at women to make them uncomfortable because toxic masculinity, right, because I saw
that on the on the yeah TikTok okay, all right, good every sector
man, all right, have a good one. You see the dudes who
will film in the chain in the the locker room too. I watched I
watched like this whole uh uh montage of video montage video like five minutes.
Because we've talked about a few of the incidents like the uh the chick who
has an only fans or a similar to OnlyFans account who was at the gym
and she made that video where a guy in the most disinterested way visually interacted
with her and she's yelling feral, feral, feral into it, and she
got pushed back from a bunch of people like you're insane, Like we did
that video a couple others and I didn't realize there's hundreds of these. And
the ones that kill me are these guys at the gym who are not in
the even in the main gym. Now they're in the locker room and they've
got a video set up in a mirror and they're doing a flex off,
like you know, it's a bodybuilding competition, and other people in a locker
room environment are like, hey, you can't film in here. And some
of the responses are like you want to take this outside, bro, which
ironically is what the person wants. They want that person to be outside if
they're going to do that, And I just I'm this is why I don't
go to the gym. Well, it's not the only reason, but I'm
going to add it to the list so it sounds more convincing. Man,
I have to I have to assume it's it's not everywhere, all right.
Let me flip back over to this. So yesterday we got a little mention
in Marvel is, you know, they're going through their cinematic universe, but
they're also realizing that as they move further and further along, it's getting less
and less profitable. And with the prognostication that's going on ahead of the Marvels,
which is their next big release with Captain Marvel and a few of her
friends, who are all going to be strong female role models, and that
there's nothing wrong with that, but it will feel as though people already feel
it would be a continuation of shoveled social justice stuff and not just an attempt
to entertain. They're getting nostalgic and they're going, hey, you remember that
first run between Iron Man and culminating with the end of the Avengers. We
made a lot of money, and we made a lot of movies that people
think are really good movies may but they didn't think maybe we should do we
should use the same outlook that we did in Uh, utilizing further intellectual properties
within the Marvel universe. They're just like, what if we just bring those
people back. The problem, of course, is you killed some of them.
You killed a lot of them. You changed fundamentally who they are,
what happened, and that's fine because that's part of the evolution and the story
arc. So you can't go back in that well, but you do have
this multiverse thing, so maybe you can. And they're literally talking about that,
like, let's bring total let's bring Tony starkback. It's it's it's sheer
desperation man and Ross and I were have a little conversation after the show yesterday
that I think ties into this and then kind of leads into my second story
of in our in our long running series that I like to call have you
learned Nothing? And we'll get into more of that in a moment. Jeff,
you know from the Weather Channel, though, he's learned a lot from
the Doppler, and he's here to share it with you. Jeff, let's
have a nice weekend. Please make it happen. I think I can deliver
that definitely. And I know that you're a fan of the kind of slightly
warmer temperatures, and we are headed in that direction, not hot, but
definitely above average. We should be in the upper sixties now today. We
won't get there sixty three though, with lots of sunshine and just a beautiful
day tonight, clear the overnight chili again. I know it's a cold start
today. It will be a cold start again for Saturday, because we're going
to drop down to around thirty five tonight, but then tomorrow we're headed up
towards seventy for the high, and then we drop back to the low forties
for Saturday night, which is average for this time of year Sunday, mostly
Sunday in seventy one. By the time we get into the work week,
it looks like by Tuesday we'll be in the mid seventies for the afternoon high,
so we will be a few degrees above average. I think I've done
my job. Yeah, no, no, no, And I don't want
to be known as cold weather guy, as perfect golf shorts or light pant
weather uh slight breeze, low humidity, but pleasant. So at no point
do I even contemplate what's going on around me and dry obviously for golfing purpose,
and that's all I ask. And I don't feel like that's too much.
If you could do that every single day, you don't have to wear
a dry fit shirt, you know, yes, yes, transfer that moisture
off your body. Yeah, I don't want to wipe my hands down every
every time I pick up a club so I can hit a ball into the
woods. I want to be able to do that with dry hands. So
exactly, okay, all right, thanks man, appreciated. Look at that,
Look at that. You know what, if you put it out there,
I feel like I am the everyman here, because because we because we
are all right, seven forty seven, hang on, we'll be back.
One talk PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is Kcoda
and Carolina's Morning News. All right, here we go. It is seven
fifty two KCO Day Radio program. Glad you're long. Oh I was gonna
get the number. Actually no, we got Pete Calender coming up eight oh
five, so don't want any calls up. I got moared enough to fill
this segment with as music to Ross's ears. So I was just telling you
about so Marvel's sitting there going, hey, why don't we make any money
on this anymore? And at no point did somebody go, I don't know,
maybe you instead of just in an attempt to entertain, in amaze coupled
with obvious fatigue that people are going to get right, do you remember.
I don't know if i'd put it up there in the level of matrix,
you know, with the blown away factor when I went and saw it.
But the Superhero movie as we knew it that came from Marvel was just so
remarkably different and cooler. Would that is that ross? Would you say that's
a fair way to look at it, going back to like the original Iron
Man, it was. It was just something It was so different from what
we had seen and and so yeah, people obviously going to be invigorated,
and they followed along through all the Avengers stuff too, and so yeah,
I understand why Marvel is going to be nostalgic from a financial point. But
if you're gonna go like undead people and you're gonna use multiverse explanations, that's
your failure to understand why you're having problems with your uh, you know,
your post first gen endeavors, And a lot of it is around things that
actually started to present during during that first round where you are fundamentally changing things.
You're h you're overpowered things, You're creating scenarios that even in an environment
where a raccoon can kill you with a gun and an insult. I know
he's not a raccoon, but he is. You find yourself going no,
no, I'm not going to play that game, and then you couple that
with the and this is the discussion Ross and I were having off the area
yesterday. I have a full disclosure. I like on the TV shows or
you know, like Loki, I don't like to do the weekly thing because
I don't bend a need to any man on my calendar except obviously you and
my employer and a bunch of others, but other than that, NA,
So when they do a series, I like to wait for it all to
come out and then I'll binge it at my discretion. So admittedly I haven't
seen any of the new season of Loki, but one of the points that
we were talking about is they have created a scenario where the next big bad
guy is too big and too bad, and you wonder if maybe that realization
is another thing driving the nostalgia a look, because uh, this next bad
guy feasibly should be undefeatable, would be I guess my. I mean,
the dude's been around for like millions of years, right, Yeah, he
can be on every timeline in their multiverse. Simultaneously anywhere he wants. So
yeah, he is the power. There's like millions of different versions of him.
So oh oh no, So imagine like you're like trying to defeat this
dude, but he can be on your timeline multiple places, messing with your
timelin. Let he's you gotta get sneaky and secretive so he doesn't know what's
up, and then he has tech that dwarfs Tony Starks because he's from like
millions of years in the future. Oh yeah, there's that too, Yeah
yeah, but if if you put together like a sneak attack, right right,
catch them all, he's you know, I think the thing that's going
to take him down though, because she has a certain lady part is Captain
Marvel obviously, but not obviously with the lady part. Possibly, I don't
know, well, hey, you know what, hey, but they're saying
there having issues with the actor that place King right because of his legal problems.
But I mean, if he is like look what they did with Loki,
right, they had an alligator play like a there was an alligator variant,
so you could like doctor who, you could recast anybody in this role.
So honestly, that's not the problem. That's the problem is the character
is so overpowered. I don't know to see how you take him out.
You've written yourself into this, you have you have written yourself into this problem
and the way to route and when you when you find a way to write
yourself out of it. Right, with all of the convoluted nature of everything
that the Avengers had to do, you know, going back to all these
different specific points in time and undisappearing people in all of it, there was
still a shred of Okay, I kind of understand this and why this,
But the moment that most people retained was this, you know, this this
return, a momentary return by one ope overpowered character who was able to accomplish
what the entirety of the rest of the Marvel universe was unable to in like
minutes. And it never set well, I think with a lot of folks.
So now you've created the mount everest of that. But it's so much
to keep track of too, with all the different timelines and the multiverses.
Yeah, yeah, you've got to go back, and maybe that's what they
want for the clicks. You've got to go back and rewatch stuff to figure
out what's going on and it's just and then with the new Captain Marvels,
the Marvels, you need to keep up with two different separate shows to even
know who these characters are, right, And then you tumble in the stuff
where people feel that they're getting preached to. And I understand why you think
you want to do this thing, but I also understand why you didn't learn
anything with your failures. But we'll learn some stuff with Pete Calendar coming up,
and bears are included, by the way, so stick around for that
next Good Morning everybody, And I hope your Friday is going well. Get
another hour to attempt to ruin that for you with news of the day.
But that's the price you pay. So glad you're here a c O day
radio program. And this is this is the fun. This is the fun
part of Friday. You know, Friday should be more fun than it is.
But yesterday I was greeted with the necessity to include all of the Durham
Freeway blockage insanity and that that's the kind of stuff that just ruins my day.
But to help me parse through that and several other stories, is our
radio buddy to the South, Pete Calendar. Midday's WBT and on the iHeartRadio
app Pete. How you doing, sir? What's going on? Well,
I don't think anything really, which you know what, that'd be a damn
fine day, you know what I'm saying? Well, great, come on,
Look, we're media, right If if people aren't outraged or angry,
then we're not doing our jobs. Yeah, but I can talk. I
but I feel like I can talk about stuff that doesn't have outrage. I'm
just so overwhelmed with it. And yeah, and it's and it's because my
head hurts when I'm in the proximity of stupid. And let me make you
an example. And then I'm curious what you think you're you myself? Ross,
But like, we don't hang a shingle and identify ourselves as campaign consultants
strategy right, However, arguably we do kind of provide a little bit of
that service in what it is that we do, because I feel like we
have a pretty good grasp on this stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
they should really send us money, all of the politicians. If I was,
I don't know, wanting to advocate on behalf of an organization that is
actively blocking individuals from leaving areas where there is known rocket attacks on the way,
would my protest methodology of repeating that or recreating that in an environment that
while there's not rocket attacks on the way, you too, are styming a
population's ability of egress from a densely populated area to a less dets populated area,
not for rocket attacks, but for soccer practices and dinners and families and
all. Wouldn't you feel that that would be too on the nose stupid mmm?
And kind of a yeah yeah, kind of a message failed. But
also it kind of goes to prove the point that this is a tactic that
obviously the as I have now started referring to them as Team baby Beheading Rapists,
that that team will employ logo. What's that logo look like? I
don't even know, I haven't got I actually just started. I started doing
a Twitter list and merch. You need merch. Okay, you guys know
that's true. That's true. Yeah, So I made a list and you
know what happens on Twitter where when when you make a list, it it
alerts somebody. If I were to put you on my list of Team baby
Beheading Rapists, right, you get a message that says, and I had,
Yeah, why why would you do that? Well, no, I
wouldn't put you on the list, but if I did, I'm just saying
you would get a mess that says, Pete just added you to this list.
And the name of the list is Team Baby Beheading Rapists, and uh
and so and I started this because you know, look, when people declare
it's like, you know, college athletics. You know, I'm going to
go to this college, I'm going to play for this team. And I
just feel like, if you're going to declare yourself on that team, then
I'm gonna, you know, just want to create a handy list to make
sure that I know your intentions. So after all of this kind of dies
down or whatever down the road, I will know like, oh, that's
right, you were on Team baby Beheading Rapists, so I can dismiss whatever
you think about whatever. I got like one hundred and seventy people on this
list now, and so yeah, a lot for real. So well that's
just that's always a good rule in general. But what's amazing is that it's
so few people when put on that list care every now and again. I
got one today, somebody, you know, made fun of uh made fun
of me in response. They never say take me off the list, though
they never say that. That's the twist here. I honestly I thought you
were going to say that they got really really mad at you and they got
their followers to spam you or something. But now I'm more horrified with the
reality of not really being too bothered by it. Right, I thought for
sure because some of these, uh, these people on the list have very
large Twitter accounts, and I was kind of worried, like if I do
this, am I gonna start getting death threats? Is it going to be
like that acl you chick all over again? Oh? Yeah, right,
yeah yeah, but no nothing. And so it's so they don't even care
that they get put onto this list. And if they and I don't know,
maybe they don't see it, but some people have and and all they
ever say is you studing good or like you that? But but that's it.
It's never take me off the list. That's not me. I'm not
on you know, you're not on team baby beheading Rapist. Well, and
you know what, if you want to do a so would you like to
do a social experiment? You should make another list. But more innocuous but
culturally relevant, and you can wait for an event to appear, like what
color is the dress? What was the word you just heard? Or how
about this list of people who like pineapple on pizza? Put the same one
hundred and seventy on there and see if you get a more aggressive pushback.
I would be fascinated. Right, How dare you imply that I might put
pepperoni on a pizza? Although I did see I did watch a snippet of
Joe Rogan and Elon Musk eating pepperoni and anchovy, which is Rogan's favorite,
and liking it. And I don't know what's true anymore. So you know,
maybe the opportunity has arrived for that. Yeah, I don't mind that.
I don't mind the anchovies, the taste of them, or even like
the smell of them, or like they're fine. I just don't like the
hairs, the hairs that are like sticking out of the anchovy. Actually it's
not hair, it's hair, man. I Yeah, I loved I'll tell
you what I love more nancho. I love sardines, especially the mustard sauce
one. And I found that when it comes to sardines, people there's not.
People are not fence sitters, right, people don't They're not fence sitters.
Even the hunt with it the cabin like. They have strong opinions one
way or the other, and they're very passionate. Wait. Wait, sardines
don't have the hairs, right, Well, they're the sauce or the oil,
depending on which ones you buy. They have many flats, but for
the mustard ones. But oh man, give me some of those and some
some crackers, some saltines. I'm in heaven, you know, like that
bears probably and that I'm gonna make this uncomfortable transition. Pete. Do you
like seasons? Man? Like berry and season and leaf peepers? I know
they call them leaf peepers up in the Northeast, but we're not immune.
Obviously. We have a wonderful foliage change in North Carolina. That's why people
traverse the Parkway and drive the hotel rates up to New York City levels and
blowing for a couple of weeks a year. One of my favorite seasons growing
up, and I say this is somebody who was blessed with cynicism very early
in life. Was what we referred to in Wyoming as tourists goring season.
And it was a little play on words, because you know, the news
on the TV stations out of Casper would be like, ah, it's tourist
seasons here. And what it meant for us in the northern part of Wyoming
was people who were making the pilgrimage to do the National Park thing where they
go to see the president's faces and then they drive through to Yellowstone, maybe
hit Jackson on the way, and then eventually maybe up to Glacier down to
Zion and it was it fundamentally changed economically what was going on in the state
of Wyoming because of all the folks coming through. And I didn't hate any
of them, However, I recognize that we were now in what is tourist
goring season. And we would await the very first individual driving through the Lamar
Valley of Yellowstone, which is where you go in the northeast entrance making your
way to Mammoth and it is probably the best gathering point for the bison herds
in the dark, and we would await the first individual who wanted a photo
family photo with the bison who happened to have a calf, and you know,
it's on and here we go, right right? I want that season,
and in North Carolina we are now on the career. I would argue,
we're in the middle of it, random wild cub petting seas and these
monsters in government are going to shut it down, just like the Raleigh City
Council basically shut down the Veterans Parade. I don't know if you've heard about
that. They got right now, they got the vests, prey, and
now they want to shut down random cub petting season on the Blue Rich Parkway.
Does government know no bounds in keeping the people down? And let people
know why I'm sounding like an insane person right now. This, yes,
yes, no, it's yeah, It's just it's heinous. If I want
to go out and feed and pet baby bears, preach out any knowledge of
the location of their mothers, then I should be right. I should be
allowed to go out and do it. Boyfriend, she's got a crack habit,
right, the kids, you know, the bear needs. Yeah,
that's fair point, all right, Yeah, you should be able to This
is America, pete, I thought it was it used to be. Yeah,
right, so maybe do we call it bear mauling season? No?
No, no, no, you can't you know you have to. I
know that we did the tourist goring thing, and I think that in retrospect
that was an air because it may they may put some red flags up and
then I would be robbed of some experience. So I wanted to sound cute
and color because you know how manipulating the language is such a political tool utilized
these days. I want to use it for my own. So I got,
Yeah, you control the language, you control the debate. That's brilliant.
Correct. Yeah, So if you know, if I was talking to
fourteen year old me excited the first time some guy got a a bison horn
up his keyster because he wanted to Hey, what if I lean against it?
I would I would tell fourteen year old me, don't call it tourist
goring season with your morose friends. Instead call it bison petting season or you
know, bison. We didn't have selfies, weren't really a word then,
but maybe we could have been groundbreakers. So if you don't know some folks
who just wanted to participate in this, just what ten miles north of Ashville's
where this is? Yeah, yeah, on the Blue Rich Parkway. And
what's amazing is apparently so many people you have done this that they actually shut
down an eight mile stretch of the road. And the idea is we just
wanted to give the bears that have been getting fed and apparently maybe petted and
is it petted or pet you have no yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
So like to give them time to lose interest in the area. That's their
idea. So this way what I guess the bears are going to go eight
miles up the road and then they're going to start accosting people eight miles up
the road. Because like I'm always I'm always amazed at this idea, like,
oh, look at this bear, this bear on the side. Oh,
it's so adorable. Like if you've ever you ever been around a bear,
I'm sure you have, Like they smell, you can smell them like
far away, And I don't know why anybody would be like, oh,
this is so adorable. I want some of that on my hands, you
know, I want to I want to smell bear on my hands maybe then
like eat a sandwich or something. That's just I don't understand that. I
also am amazed that people have been able to progress in their life long enough
to be like driving a vehicle, see a bear pull over and think,
hey, I should go pet that thing because it's only you know, a
bear, right, you think that, you think that, But and I
don't want to turn gruesome on you. I have and I don't. I
don't know the full Pete Calendar origin story, but some of my earliest memories,
uh, there is one that is pretty pretty horrible, and it was
the I used to spend I would spend time with my uncle who worked in
Yellowstone National Park, and uh, in doing so, he had access to
the utilization of what are known as backcountry cabins that the Park Service uses,
and so it was an amazing opportunity where he could take a few days off.
I could go and then we could get on the backside of the Yellowstone
River where a few park visitors could go through the use of a cable car
and even have a place to stay back there. And they're very historic.
They have these log books where like Teddy Roosevelt had been has signed in it.
It's the whole thing. And one of those trips when I was younger,
there was a problem because a photographer had come across some baby bears and
thought, hey, you know, look cute posing them on a stump.
Oh god, yeah, And we happened to be it happened to coincide with
one of my trips when they started finding parts of him, because I don't
know if you bears like to. They like to if they seen somebody who's
got a castrole and they have to divide it into like six different tubwares.
Bears do that, but with trees where they bury stuff, and uh,
twelve year old me didn't need that, and so and I think maybe that's
where the citicism came in, and that like hiking around and it's not that
we found it's not that we found one. It's that just to speed this
up, it's it's not that we found one. He got the radio call
and we ended up having to cut short and we came out, and where
we came out happened to be where they found one. And for for a
moment, yes, there I was where they had found part of the sky.
And it's twelve year old me and they did not have it covered.
And even growing up on a ranch and seeing some stuff that's due, that's
stuck with me. Yes, that's that sticks with you. And so I
knew at that moment. I knew before that, but I knew at that
moment you shouldn't pet baby anythings. And uh, later in life, I
was almost It saved me later in life as a few years after that,
also near Yellowstone slightly outside the park. I remember when roller blades were a
thing. I will admit that I had roller blades when I was younger.
For a little while, I was rollerblading down the highway by cook City,
Montana, and I came down a hill and there's a baby moose in the
road and to the uninitiated, they go, oh, a't adorable, And
me with knowledge when I got to get out of here and I started,
I became a very very efficient uphill rollerblader because moments later mom comes out.
And if you think loose or docile, they are unless there's a baby around.
And the saint goes for bears. Not that they're docile perhaps, but
they'll generally lose interest and you can scare them away, but they act unpredictably
when protecting young and it really holds true for everything all the way up to
humans in many instances. Yeah, I know, we have to shut down
miles of the parkway during prime time because too many idiots want of pet bears,
and I don't know why we're still here. Thirty second I think,
yeah, I think pets the bears and just look the other way and get
a cup of coffee. Well, either that or we take you know,
the lesson from your stories there, and we just shut down all of those
states that you were in, like not just beyond the parks, just shut
all of those down, and you know, to prevent people from rollerblading past
moose. I didn't go past. I turned around. You didn't listen to
the story, man, Now, well I want to clarify, so the
people who have their lives saved. Yeah, all right, or make it
a bear mauling free zone and we'll get some signs, but we'll have the
other we'll have to work next week. Look at that, just two stories,
and I'm glad those are the two we did. Thanks man, appreciate
it, and we'll be right back. Keithing you connected. This is ninety
four to five w T T I and the Triad and six one FM talked
and the Triangle. I'm not calling pretty One's death disingenuous pizza garbage. Go
enjoy your weekend making pan flutes and obstructing freeways. Shut up. Earlier you
said you were calling for any a hat protesters. Now you're celebrating somebody gets
attacked by a bear. I'm not celebrating. I'm pointing out that they had
it coming. Generally in the stories that you see, not always, not
always, Sometimes people mitigated in all the ways that they think they should and
and would be recommended. And and it is what it is, like I
they uh, they had the the bicyclist who was was it was he bicyclist
at the time though, uh? In West Yellowstone earlier this year, and
uh, dude had I checked and I followed it up. Dude had a
firearm on him. He had great knowledge of the area. He just found
himself in a situation where he lost. Are the guy that know, the
guy with the jaw too also to fire arm on him. He didn't die.
But no, I'm not. But I'm also not petting bear cubs.
Okay. And also every time I tell that story, and I've told that
story a few different occasions, I get inevitably I get the email going you
made that up about the bear thing, And so I reflexively anytime I'm going
to do that while I was talking to Pete. I am with my hands
calling up the the Wikipedia. There's a Wikipedia where you go see all the
bear attacks decade by decade and where they happened here in America. And let
me tell you something about the late eighties into the early nineties. Bears were
really mad at us, especially between Yellowstone and Glacier, because they just went
on a bear murder spree. It was like cocaine bear but spread over about
ten years. My buddy, uh, David Darbarini, he was slow uttered
by bigfoot. We found the parts. Yeah, how do you wait?
How do you know he left the video? Oh? Oh, he found
his footage that was found footage, as you would say, I mean,
I'm I'm sure it was clear and concise, for it was like json born
shaky camp. Oh no, completely, but no, no, no,
the resolution was horrible awful. Oh wo. Yeah, David was David was
a fickle dude. So, I mean had a hard time even, you
know, picking up the camera. So the way they described the death of
thirty eight year old William Tazinski, quote, no, Tasinsky, why would
you make this up? Why would you come on? I don't know,
I don't know, And And by the way, if you want to fact
check that my uncle was in fact chief criminal investigator for Yellowstone Park or at
that time in charge of Northeast Entrance preceding the fires of eighty eight, read
any of the books that have come out about Dan Shalley who was the chief
of the chief rangers, because my uncle is featured in all of those because
he was one of the top brass dudes there and West Yellowstone or excuse me,
Northeast Entrance of Yellowstone was his that was his quadrant at that time,
that was his charge. So yeah, you're right. Why would I make
that up? Which is why I absolutely do not question your buddy getting killed
by bigfoot. That's horrible, man, I'm so sorry, and we have
kind of almost footage to prove it. But the way they listed is uh
Tsinski, a photographer was muled after approaching a bear in Hayden Valley in Yellowstone.
Yeah, kind of kind of. I mean, there's there's some lessons
up in there. And yeah, my buddy, Jim Krasinski, he was
the wait, the guy from the office. He was he was murdered by
the the quack sucky chicken. What the quacksucky chicken. What's what is everyone
up from Upstate New York if you're from up and you know that, No,
that's penguin. This is quatsaki chicken. It's completely different. Peck to
death? What he's a chicken? Did he pecked himself to death? Was
it self pecking or we don't talk about it. Man, Oh the chicken
killed him. I'm sorry. It's a bad memory for me. Is it
the chicken from family Guy? Oh? Dude? Uh? In retro,
I didn't realize how bad it was during that little period of time until I,
like a couple of times had to be like, oh, you want
to call me a liar? Boom, here you go. And then I
actually, because you know me, uh, from the age of five to
about fifteen, when I was doing these things, uh you know, uh
doing Yellowstone trips and stuff like that. Uh, me didn't realize that if
you look at it, it would have been the Summer of the Shark if
the media gave a crap about uh, you know, dead space America,
which is kind of what I refer to that part of the country because there's
such a little population. But between Glacier National Park the Gallatin Wilderness Area in
Montana, which if you watch Yellowstone It's it's that area and into Yellowstone Park
and down towards Jackson, it was like it was like cocaine bear was around.
Man, And that's just the brown bears. That's this strictly the grizzlies.
They call them brother brown bears or grizzlies depending on where, Like if
it's an Alaska's brown if it's down here, they say grizzly. But that's
the same bear. That's what they're talking about. And a black bear and
a brown bear are totally different animals. But yeah, I remember, I
remember the first time when I got older reading about all the other ones,
and I'm like, how did I how did all the kids survive? Like
how did we not get snatched? Because we were just surrounded man, Annie
who all right? Well, prayers for the chicken and bigfoot to seed in
friends of yours so horrible, and I will I will do better to recognize
regionally famous murderous and or ice cream animals or no, Poughkeepsie penguin that you
made up was about freeze or snow cones? Right, Okay, so confused.
Speaking of confused, there's a dude this dude's TikTok influencer and is not
a dude identifiably because identifies as a transgender woman and has some beef. And
it started this whole thing. I saw a percolat on social media where you
can, you know, you can use the the a I apps for a
ton of stuff. Ross you've used it for like photo generation and I think
you actually use it as if on your Twitter account that's a photo that was
AI generated. Right, Oh yeah, my weird Steve jobs like turtleneck disto
being photo Yes, yes, okay, so you can do that. That's
the thing you can do. And you can use it for filters and if
you're into the anime and all that stuff, there's a filter where it'll take
your picture and it'll turn you into an anime character. And this individual is
doing it. The problem is regardless of how they pose with with you know,
with cute hair flips and all that they're doing, the AI keeps creating
a male character cartoonish, you know, anime character. He does like three
times and it's like and so the logical conclusion, obviously is that the AI
is uh is a giant bigot right here keeps missondering me luck, No,
no way, Okay, we're gonna try this, the hair flip thing now,
oh my god, oh my gods. Try again. Yeah. I
don't know why I laughed at that so much. What are you gonna do?
And also retrospect, do you think that do you think that John Connor
that had ever crossed his mind that if he wanted to defeat Skynett. And
I'm stealing this a little though. I was kind of ruminating from one of
our Twitter followers, merely just had to get Skynett to miss gender someone and
then the outrage would have put the kaibash because this person's not happy about this,
And I don't think John Connor's ever considered that. He's like, ah,
let's time travel, naked people were robots or whatever, So maybe you
should have had a blue ribbon panel or something figure it out all right?
Forty four? Yeah, Yeah, that's level of stupid. We got on
tap for you here because it's Friday. But we got folks who know stuff
like weather, like Jeff Eno, and he's gonna make very happy. What's
up, sir? I believe I can do that. We're looking pretty good.
We're gonna hit sixty three today with sunshine, a little cool, but
that's about the change too. We've got some warmer temperatures coming. As a
matter of fact, by Tuesday, we'll be in the mid seventies as high
pressure just relenting, not letting up, and bringing us this very fair weather
clear Tonight overnight low slips back to a chilly thirty five degrees. So if
you are headed out for some Friday night lights, you definitely want to take
that jacket. Sunshine for Saturday up to around seventy low forties for Saturday night.
That's a perfect low temperature for this time of year. And then as
we close out the weekend, we'll do it under mostly sunny skies and hit
seventy one for that afternoon high. Okay, all right, and so it's
my understanding your guys gonna be apoplectic on Monday. Still whatever, And is
that you on Monday joining here? Sure? Yes, okay, you can
be excited. We'll have fun even if it's some Monday. I go,
yeah, okay, Jeffino, thanks man, have a good weekend. All
right, there you go, Jeff no weather channel. He's not a little
hesitant. Well, you know what, if you talk to Jeff Frost helm.
We'll get him some bear cubs he can pet. During his segment,
play standing outside doing the outdoor shot. All right, eight forty six.
You know who else is slacking Jeff Bellinger because Joan Donnegher is in for him,
and that will be next here on the CaCO Day Radio program show.
After the show, he's on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey oday for the
podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All Right, good Friday morning to you.
It is eight fifty two, and it's the Bloomberg time, but it's
Joan Donnagher, which hopefully nothing but good news on a Friday. That's what
we're looking for, Jones, So fire away. Well, I'll give it
a truck. No pressure, no October, no pressure. Yeah. The
October jobs numbers are just what investors wanted to see. How good it is.
You know, the Labor Department counted only one hundred fifty thousand jobs added
last month, rather than the one hundred eighty thousand economists figured on average hourly
earning slowed down, increasing by two tenths of a percent. The unemployment rate
ticked up to three point nine percent. Now, it's not that Wall Street
was wishing for bad news. It was just they're hoping for backing for their
hopes that the Federal Reserve could stop raising interest rates with a cooler labor market,
and so far this is bearing them out. And right now, SMP
futures are up twenty one, NASDAK futures are up fifty, DOW futures up
one hundred sixty one. So there's good and not so good. The same
thing of both businesses and economic data have said, we are dialing back big
purchases of big items, but we are willing to pay for small indulgences like
a daily duncan Starbucks or Krispy Kreme run a stop in at Chipotle. Pepsi
says its snacks are keeping us and the economy rolling so wingstop its business is
booming because we're willing to binge on small treats, even if those prices have
gone up. Starbucks has a plan for drawing in even more customers. It's
going to rely heavily on rewards. It's hoping to add partners in finance and
hospitality to double its seventy five million rewards members in five years. It also
plans to renovate more stores and open new ones that'll offer double sided drive throughs
to make it more worth your while to drive by. Did you watch the
World Series between Texas and Arizona. Let's just say only the true baseball fan
did. The five game series, of course, we're won by the Texas
Rangers drew the smallest TV audience on record for a World Series, an average
of about nine million viewers a game. Last year's average was about twelve million.
And this is even though Texas manager Bruce Bochi joins just three other managers
with four World Series rings, among them Joe Tory and Connie Mack and Casey.
Amazon will stick with its day job. Amazon decided e commerce is the
way to go after all, so it'll close it's brick and mortar Amazon retail
stores. There are only two of them. They'll shut their doors by next
Thursday. Amazon says instead it'll focus on online fashion shopping. The move comes
about a year and a half after Amazon opened the first of its stores.
Now it'll train all its attention instead on its grocery stores. Okay, all
right, I watched Look, I did watch the World Series. Game one
was a really good game, but the rest were Yeah. Game one was
amazing, and you know the other fun fact, and we talked about this
on the show yesterday. And on the player side is player Will Smith,
who if for the last three years have been with three different teams and each
team won the World Series. So oh yeah, yeah, absolutely you want
him there exactly. That's my agent would be working. All right, Thank
you, Matt. Every good weekend, Joan. And are you with us
Monday as Jeff Packer? No should be Jeff, it should be Jeff on
the OW. Okay, all right, very good, thank you, good
we yep, there you go, Joan Donnager, Bloomberg News. I you
know, look, I don't know if this dude has aspirations to one day
become Florida man, but holy holy cow, what's going on with this?
So a well, let's let's just call it like it is. A naked
dude. Videos emerged of a guy in Las Vegas sands clothing I guess,
as you do sometimes because you know it's Vegas. Well, this didn't stay
there. He got really drunk, got really naked, and got really physical
with police officers. And in the video, which is pure gold, pure
gold from a comedic standpoint, you got officers lagging behind him getting into an
altercation, He physically assaults and arguably wins the fight against one of the officers,
and then commandeers the police car. Yeah. Yeah, all that stuff's
happening, and I saw a really crap analysis because people are like, oh,
look at that cop. You couldn't even take that guy. Let me
say this, I feel, and I've never had to fight a drunk or
on drugs naked individual. I feel that they're they're going to they're going to
be able to put you at certain disadvantages. Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, I feel like it's different to fight a guy right in the
parking lot of a bar because you're both drunk and you're idiots, versus now
the dude's naked, like because you don't want to touch them. Right,
Do you get a ross? Do you understand what I'm kind of driving out.
That's why my chapter of the of Wake Forest fight Club it says the
naked the naked fight Club. No naked fight Oh it is naked fight club.
I I can't talk about it. If they're both naked, right then,
Uh yeah, it's different. No, listen, you don't want to
fight to do this naked. You just don't want to go. It's like
natural instinct. You're gonna see naked. Dude, be like, I don't
want to go over there? Yeah? Yeah, do you want to?
You know? And yes, for those of you out there, go there's
a gender divide. Remember that woman who got all naked at the restaurant in
Florida and started screaming. The cops had no problem with her. Yeah,
yeah, did you see pictures of her? Listen, dude, she was
having a bad day. Do you remember do you remember looking at that and
then looking at her age going, you know what? Good for you?
Good for you? I mean, obviously you have some other issues in your
life that you probably need to work on as well, but that is not
one of them. You are, You're doing a bang up job. So
yeah, go, I get on that bar and nakedly kick beer pictures at
people and throw wine bottles while do it. That's what you do it in
Olive Garden or wherever it was. Right then, when you're there, your
family, well, as we know, don't we all have that person in
the family, right, well, not you, because you're they all died
in that war, right, Because that's a callback to a much earlier story
you did where you'll have to look it up on the timeline at Casey on
the Radio. That's our Twitter handle. Check it out and have a good
weekend, and don't get naked and fight police or bears.
