Remember remember I remember, Oh, we gotta do one more of these?
Okay, all right, well whatever, I mean. It's Friday, but
it's still a day where you gotta get up, but you gotta do stuff,
and you gotta work, and you're all doing that, and it's gonna
be a tough show today. But you know, one of the things,
oh hell no, there is not a bug in the studio this morning that
presents itself at exactly six oh eight. So I'm going to spend however long
it takes to murder that thing. Sorry, distracted. It's gonna be a
tough show to other than the bug, because I'm gonna come out victorious.
You know why, because it does not matter the species. I am superior.
I am victorious. And this is actually a perfect analogy for what,
unfortunately we have to concentrate on today. Well, one of the items we
got crazy hunter Biden and whistleblower stuff. We got Pete Callender coming up at
eight oh five. But I want to talk about a failed society. Now,
if you were to think, all right, what does he mean by
failed society, Venezuelo, that'd be a good example just under the current regime,
and the regime preceding it and the foreseeable future Cuba, since you know,
Michael exposed, his brother took care of that, and you know,
fled, fled the island paradise and now the Chinese are moving in with their
base, but a little closer to home. No, not Roanoke Island.
I don't know. That was a failed society. We don't really know what
happened. I want to talk about the city of wake Forest. Ross ever
been to wake Forest? City of wake Forest, spend some time there.
I am familiar. Yes, this is a community that at one time was
ravaged by wolves. That's what I heard, right. Four people send me
the story with the same take yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
know. So I'm doing that so you don't get it sent a twenty two
more times and it is now devolved to the point where the community is collapsing
based on a cat. Yeah, it's got rabies. I understand that.
But you gotta you gotta pick your battles people. Now, don't get me
wrong. I'm gonna just rank you with Carrie. Do you remember when that
fox which didn't even have rabies? Remember when the fox was on the walking
path and it was like a national nightmare for the trophy wives of Kerry.
That's actually that's arguably worse for the murder capital of America. But Ross is
annoyed by this. I know, apparently there was a rabid k it is
deceased, but that's not even the part I'm concentrated on. In fact,
we just had it in our top of the hour newscast there it's part of
a cat colony? Is there? Like? Is there like an outlaw cat
quality living in wake Forest? That's like, that's like a subplot of a
Disney movie. I don't even know what that is. I mean, the
fact is, is there a feral cat colony in any remotely populated area?
Yes, that's a thing, this one. This one's got a little raby's
going on. I mean, I'm pretty sure you got to dissolve the city
charter at that point. How are you not able to how are you not
able to handle a cat colony? I'm not gonna get into detail here,
and some of you, aha, I killed it. Look at that what
time is it? Six twelve four minutes? You sb? I am far
far, far more effective than apparently the city, Awake Forest or carry in
handling my critter business Why are you so stupid that you would literally land on
the inside of my hand. Maybe you just gave up. Maybe he's like,
you know what, you're making some good points here. I'm not even
gonna drag this out now. So some ladies just out on their porch doing,
you know whatever, and this cat rolls up and I'm sure she looked
at it was like, hey, how you doing. And the cat's like
bar barbarian and just bitter and scratched her. And she was one of like
four people. And now they're talking about the wake Forest cat colony. It's
just the weirdest news ever. So Rod, I'm not putting this on you,
dude. I'm just going to assume that if you think you can handle
wolves, a cat colony is not going to be a problem. It's just
it's such a weird thing because and this sounds horrible, we don't have a
lot of feral cat problems in Wyoming. Are you catching what I'm putting down?
And it's because there is a general agreement. And for those of you
who are horrified right now, I want you to stand something. One of
the absolute worst non indigenous species, if it proliferates in an area especially in
a rural area. Wake forest is not I wouldn't describe it as rule.
But let's go to Wyoming for a moment. One of the most prolific dangerous
in a non indigenous species are cats. And there I mean, look,
they're just cats doing cats stuff. It's not the personal but especially when you
get out west, you deal with especially across the Midwest into the Western United
States, right up to the foot of the mountains, because remember this is
height. When you get into Wyoming and the Dakotas and even eastern Colorado,
people think it's that that's mountains. But what people don't realize is until you
get to the base of the mountains, it's actually desert. Look it up.
It's referred to as high desert. And the reason is the lack in
many areas of significant high foliage. So that means that the native species of
birds they ground nest. South Dakota has a huge problem. And don't get
me wrong, pheasants or are non indigenous, but they're big business out in
South Dakota. North Dakota same way. But to the native species, the
grouse, the chuckers, the prairie chickens, which is an actual thing who
are the most delicious cats are incredibly horrible because they just run around. They're
like, oh, yetsmegs, those look delicious, and so faraoh cats are
a problems. So they are u heavily moved to a farm up state and
by a majority of the population out there. So when I hear about some
like Disney like cat colony, I'm fascinated by the story. And I only
have one question. Are the wolves so smart they don't eat the rabid cats?
Because in that sense, that's incredible to me. So that's it.
That's where we're starting. And by the way, all you cat people get
ready to send me email. It's nothing personal. My question is why don't
you take in the cat colony open your own little cat call. I'm not
I'm not encouraging to to hoarde, but if they're already living outside, what's
up with your yard? Now? Seriously though, Like, I'm not even
a cat person, but I gotta be honest, Like my neighbor got a
new cat and I saw this thing outside and it's all like, hey,
I'm a cat, but I'm a nice cat. And it was doing that
thing where it's kind of walking towards you and it's you know a little like
you could tell it's gonna kind of wrap around your leg. And even though
I'm not a cat person, this thing walks up and I'm like, and
I, you know, just out of like sheer human instinct, I reached
down and I petted the cat, and the cat, you know, did
the thing where it rolls over because it's a coward, and was like a
petty And I gotta be honest, I just realized, I, you know,
with that cat first walked up, it could have had murder. And
it's hard. I didn't know it didn't. It made a little purn sounds
and laid down, And that was the totality of our interaction. And this
poor woman's out on her patio and she sees a cat and she's like,
ah, you look adorable. The cat's like Barbara, Barbara, and then
you know, fu and then bitter and scratched her. So you know,
be careful out there people. That's all I'm saying. Uh, if you
want to call me, you want to yell and tell me I'm a cat
hater or whatever, to you, I would say, why don't you adopt
all the cat colony? This weird jets and sharks. Thing this strange,
Like I I just to hear that the cat call. Do they have a
pecking order? Is there is there a system of leaders? I don't even
know ross was your cat? Your cat wasn't a Was your cat a pound
cat? Where did you get plastic eater? I don't even remember. Uh,
somebody Markis was working with had like a you know, oh a cat
that kids were We'll take that one, all right. So your cat wasn't
like street cat. I know that to some extent. The one cat you
guys had that was kind of your neighbor's cat, but we come over to
you. He was your neighbor's cap, but he was a little bit of
a street cat, right, yeah, like being a side. I got
to assume that he was introduced to the wake Forest cat colony, if that's
even a thing. I heard Kyle reference it in the news, So I
don't The whole thing is not funny to me. But just like you know,
like there's this hierarchy of cats just running around and I don't know why
it feels Pixar Disney, but it kind of does. Except for the rabies,
right, I don't introduce that in there, but ah, well,
at least the wolves are smart enough not to eat them. So all right,
six twenty, we got other stuff coming up. Like I said,
Pete calendar will join us. Uh, there we go. All right.
I thought we had an equipment issue again on the Caul screener, but doubt's
fine. Just had to update the latest version. So that's good. By
the way, you want to feel a thousand years old? Did you know
that today is the anniversary of the release of Tim Burton's Batman. Do you
remember in nineteen eighty nine, do you remember how gritty you thought that Batman
was when it came out versus Adam West bat Batman? That seemed dark man,
didn't it? In nineteen eighty nine Tim Burton's Batman, Yes, Michael
Keaton came out, and do you remember how different you thought that Batman was?
I do. I remember back of the day thinking, and you have
to understand, I'm like nine and ten when this thing's coming out. But
even I recognize the difference between that and pow blam Batman pretty crazy because it
was modern and it was adult, and it was gritty, and I was
allowed to watch it. And then you see the evolution of it because that
Batman versus Christopher Nolan Batman seems I laughed. Now have you watched, by
the way, Ross, have you watched since? Uh? Since then?
The it's Batman return, It's Batman and Robin right, the one that's got
Schwartzenegger and Uma Right. Yeah, mister Freeze, how ridiculous does that look?
Now? Have you watched a reason? There's like a group, like
a subset of like you know, Batman fandom that believes that the Joel Schumacher
Batman was peak Batman. And they're not all like joking about it. They're
like, that's that's how Gotham should be, that's how it should be.
Like I'm asking how you feel because I get that. I get that.
But when you watch that versus the Batman or the Christopher Nolan stuff. I've
yet to see the Batman I've heard it's really good. The Pattinson one,
I've heard it's really good. The Affleck Batman boo. I think he's the
worst Batman. Oh yeah, it's awful. We don't bring that up.
It's like Godfather three on. I think the Michael Keaton Batman and then what
was the one with Jim Carrey Batman? Forever. Yeah, it was okay,
and then it will drifted into that weird Robin Like you said, who
is Alicia Silverstone? Right? It was also in that Oh man, that
movie was awful. Oh all right, anyway, we'll get into more of
this. It's Friday. Hang on back in just a few keeping you connected.
This is f WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in
the Triangle. All right, whatever launch segment. Apparently people are upset with
me. All right, well we'll get there. We'll get into it along
with everything else we got going on. It's Friday. Good morning everybody,
Casey O Day Radio program right after the news, your phone calls, and
oh so much more Your day smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News
Talk nine four five WPTI More with Casey starts now already. All right,
good morning, it is six thirty five. We'll be in three seconds.
Here we go, unless you're on delay, which you all are, except
Donna, who's holding she's on a real time. Yes, Donna, what
have I done to irritate you? On this fine Friday? I wake up
and the first thing I hear is cat bashing? What was it? What
was a cat bashing about No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We have
a cat calling up the streets from here and been all of these. But
what I wanted to say is that a big part of the problem aren't the
cat, it's the people that own them and don't get them spade or neutered.
You know, maybe if the cats weren't a bunch of perves and had
a little self control and weren't having giant cat or Jesus, wouldn't be a
problem. Listen, you cannot heard cats, Okay, you can't control of
the Oh that's not true. I have heard it many a cat. Well,
we do too. We trap them and we give them to the to
the local dog catcher because our neighborhood is run by you know, all these
feral cats. And you're absolutely right. The terrible for the environment, the
terrible for the birds especially, So people need to be responsible and get them
fixed. It's not the cat. The cats are cool, you know,
like ours. She doesn't go out ever fixed it? You ever fixed a
cat, Donna, because I have personally yes, oh what do you mean,
not a female cat? I have? Oh yeah, Oh, this
is one of the moments where you're sounding leg Dwight Shrew. No, I'm
not sound like somebody went down in like somebody who grew up. I know,
man, but I'm telling you. We had this conversation a while ago.
You were like, how am I leg twit? And I'm like,
there's certain times where you are and right now, like you're talking about his
beat fireman mos and and and cows and us. Okay, you don't at
this very moment. You know what, mister Hayes. We haven't raised beats
on the on the family ranch since around World War two, so I feel
like you're being inaccurate effect World War two and they were sugar beets, totally
different. Fact. Here's what you want to do, Donnie. You want
to get a boot. Some people think a cowboy boot is best, but
I found that the tall, the tall snow boots work best. Because here's
here's the problem, um, And I was just telling ross this off the
air. City folk think that if they don't want a cat or a dog
anymore, they can drive out to a ranch and literally deposit that thing.
And and I'm serious this is this was a thing that happened, and we
had a population of cats that lived They lived in the barn. You know,
we had like five or six we had six We have now five structures
on the property and the cats that survived in there. There was a source
of heat, and we had a bunch of cats. But if we saw
a male cat and he was packing, we had a procedure and we had
you know, and and because and if folks are horrified right now, we
cat because we castrated cattle. Yeah, we had we had the bomb,
and we had the disinfectant, and we would take the cat, hey,
how are you doing, and literally stick the entirety of the cat, but
its back legs and business in the boot. That's not even an urban legend.
We would provide the proper medical equipment to numb the area. I think
I did my first one when I was twelve, and that was just a
thing you did and then you would treat it and wrap it and the cat
was back to doing, you know, eating whatever. Yeah, maintain the
cat population. I don't think wrong with that. I mean, though there's
some Peter person, there's some pet person listening right now. He was so
mad that this was the thing. But the alternative is a lot of ranchers,
if they saw a cat, they just greased the thing. Yeah,
that was I mean, I'm sorry they took it to a farm up state.
I apologize the big drop off. Yeah, that's we used to call
it the big drop off. Yeah, that's not cool either. So that's
how we do Oh yeah, because you're a crude cowboy. I mean,
you know, he could have taken him into the vet and than that deal.
You know that. Don't want people out here to start booting cats in
the balls, you know what I mean? Well, look, I would
encourage people if that is something they're gonna do. One, don't tell anybody
on the radio that's Donna. I just did that. But two, I
want them to understand that we literally had topical uh anesthesia, and you know
we had I am so Donna. I am so upset that now people use
ketamine because we had so much ketamine growing up that I had no idea you
know this this horse tranquilizer or yeah. But I mean like, I had
no idea that people could take that. I missed out on this whole era.
And now it's the thing that I could have been rich. Yeah wow,
No, but on that, but on the cat thing, that was
it. So Donna, let me help you out here, and in fact,
you make a big announcement. Donna loves cats. So if you have
a rabid cat population, rop them off at Donna's house. No breaking.
We should start a charity that helps for rabies awareness. Yeah, we'll call
it. We'll call it Donna's Kids. You want to do that, We
get that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Donna's kiddies. All right,
so I be ready. There's a whole influx of cats with the foam.
They're very affectionate for a moment. So you have come over here. You're
gonna have to come over here and help me boot them. I don't know
how to do it. Donna, do you have a boot? I do?
Okay, I mean you're halfway there, so I can't do that.
I'm not surprised you'd be surprised. How easy is all right? All right?
You have lovely Friday? Yeah you do. You're gonna have a hell
of a weekend. Let me just tell you, okay, yeah, yeah,
yeah, I get some of those snake pants. Everybody dropped your rabid
cats on his house. She's a Patriots fan. She deserves it. Oh
wait, hold on, what says it's Friday? And I'm surly what do
you want to do? Yeah, Rosier been to a grocery store? Yes,
I have. Did you want to talk to anybody in that grocery store?
Typically, because I'm an introvert, I try to stay away from people
anyway, right, No, no, no you. And I'm going down
the aisle and someone looks at me and it starts to have a conversation.
I might have a panic attack. I had some dude. I had some
dude talk to me and damn near every aisle yesterday and I just want to
be like, can you get something with a koalai and eat it now?
And I felt I actually felt like a bit of an a hole for that.
But after my conversation with Donna there with you know, feeling good about
her inspirational acceptance of cats with rabies that she once dropped off at her house,
I feel like I'm a bit of a jerk. But also, who
are you people who just want to talk to everybody in a social setting that's
not meant for like introductions, talk to me at the front, literally right
in front of the store, in the produce, in the meat, in
the every and not about grocery stuff. Where he's like, I don't understand
how jello works, which still would have been inappropriate. It's one of these
days because of this job, people assume that you're an extrovert. I just's
in my experience, and it's like for me, the exact it's the exact
opposite. So like people will like, you know, come up to you.
Like sometimes there's people that listen to the show and know and they're like,
oh, I'm just gonna have a huge conversation. That's mildly different because
it's a specific thing. Yeah it is, but still this guy had no
idea who introvert part of me where I'm like, oh, I just can't.
I can't. Yeah, the thing where they're like where they reckon you've
done. You've had that thing where they recognize your voice, right? You
ever had that where they like, yeah, well it's voice and it's also
the name right right right, somebody calls you that. So somebody calls me
Casey and they hear the voice. It happens now. To be fair,
I had an event on Tuesday night for I mentioned this on the show for
Doug Ray, who's one of our fine marketing partners there in Greensboro. I
worked with Doug for ten years, right, I just realized Doug is Doug.
Let's see, I was actually thinking about this. Doug, Jason Bramblett,
Marty Hampton. On the Raleigh side, there's like three or four folks
who've literally been with us since day one. And so Doug got a new,
big, new office. It's amazing and he goes, hey, man,
since you're gonna be broadcasting Greensboro, come to the office, some of
our clients will come down. It was great, and they had like twenty
some people. And one of the things Doug wanted to do, he said,
let's have a little thing where you and I are on stage and if
people want to ask questions. Ross, what if I told you you had
to go on stage and answer questions from twenty people. Not that you dislike
the people, but just the setting. How are you feeling about I'd want
to vomit. And I told the audience and I we did it because it
is what we do. But I told the audience, I said, just
you all know, I hate public speaking. I hate it with a passion.
I love any scenario where I'm sitting in a room alone. Ross is
city did a room alone. That's our comfort zone. He's got all his
toys. I've got two gatorades in front of me today. I'm fine,
but you know, it changes things. So it's just so weird too because
of what we do. Like people ask how many how many people are listening
right now at this exact moment that I'm speaking, and actually in an hour
it'll be the most And I don't like to think about that number. I
just like, I'm sitting in this room alone. Ross is sitting in a
room alone. We're just having a conversation and whoever overhears. Yeah, it's
just such a weird mindset. Mentually, the way for me it works,
and it's always been like this, even after twenty five years, is who
who are There's there's two people right now. There's me and you. Oh
there's Kyle and sure yeah yeah yeah yeah. Mentally, if you if you
think of the other, that's terrified and then there you know, there's a
colony of feral cats. They lived on in the lobby. It's crazy,
Yes, Eric, what's up? Hey, hey about our cat colonies.
Don't forget about the Feral Cats Society. We had them hood and they were
eating our cat food and as they came over, we warned the neighbors,
Hey, your cats are out here. We're gonna trap them. We're runna
take them to the Feral Cat Society. And they belong to the hold on.
That's not a fairy Oh no, no, yeah, they're oh yeah,
oh yeah. If they're wandering the neighborhood, they are Farrell. And
uh so we we took them out, trapped them and uh let you know,
kept them for a day, fed them, and rerelease them in the
neighborhood. We had seventeen cats over about a year and a half that we
trapped. Yet how many cats we have now? Two? Well, the
other ones are reformed. They got there, they got their crap together or
what Definitely they got their stuff together. We have no cat problem. Farrell
Cat Society and Bob Barker all right, every way to go. Yeah,
I just again, I my definition of Beryl is not that it's the neighbor's
cats out. Oh yeah, Farrel is wandering the neighborhood. All right,
A great day, man, thankfu. I love you guys. So you
do a great job. Part well, thank you, sir. Yeah,
I don't know. I guess at the feral cats was nobody owned them,
did you consider what does the cat's name Boots? Yeah, but you didn't
consider Boots wasn't a feral cat, right, No, he would go over
and Chris's porch, Chris would go to work, he would come over to
our porch and we'd bring him inside. Yeah, that's not a feral cat.
Ferrel cat's got an edge man, dude. One of the funniest things
I saw is my neighbor so there, she had a cat that would get
up on her roof because there were so many trees around the edge, and
the cat to get up on the roof thinking it was going to catch a
bird. And it was a straight feral cat. And you know those have
a heart traps, right. So, and she's an older woman, so
she's got a guy who comes around does maintenance and stuff. And I watched
him. I was sitting on my porch and I watched him up out of
her roof setting this trap. This this have a heart trap, putting food
in it, the whole thing. And you know this is it looks like
a cat carrier, except it's a cage. And I watched this Farrell cat
jump up on I'm sitting on my patio watching this and I've seen this cat
forever never comes on my never comes on my porch, pointing that out.
I see it up on the roof. It gets up on her chimney,
which is its launching point, and then I see it look down over where
the have a heart trap is, which is live trap, and this cat
man which is a Farrell Street cat, goes in there, keeps half of
its body outside the trap, uses its paw to literally drag the food,
triggers the little door dropper thing, but because its body is in there,
it's hunched its backup so it doesn't slap down on it, grabs the food,
whips it out, pulls it out. That cats. You ain't catching
that cat at And I don't even mind that cat. I had mad respect
watching that that cat's seeing. That's you know, that's six tours in Vietnam
cat right there, man. But the reality is that you know they eat
ground nesting bird eggs. They it's a problem. And I want to point
out this is one of my neighbors that also has like six bird feeders and
doesn't understand why she has stupid feral cats. I've not had a conversation with
her on that front. Nice woman, but I don't feel like that would
go well. Six fitty Friday, we might actually get into some news.
We'll think about it and do it next if the show after the show's on
the iHeartRadio app, search case o day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
So I didn't realize it was a thing going down yesterday, but apparently
it was a thing going down yesterday where a bunch of politicians had to let
you know what they're up to. We're a little ahead of filing stuff.
I mean, we're a way ahead. So with that in mind, the
one that one that surprised me, I guess maybe it didn't surprise me is
monster truck enthusiast and state auditor Beth Wood decided to announce she was seeking reelection.
Yep, Beth Wood, who pled to hit and run after parking her
state owned vehicle on top of some poor guyst car downtown Raleigh and then leaving
and then the whole thing again, proving the giant double standard that exists,
feels she's earned your vote, and this is again, this is what is
so crazy, Beth Wood. I've never had a beef, and to be
honest, I've never really heard other than when you get around election time because
it matters what letters after your name, YadA, YadA. But it's nobody
really had a problem with beth Wood, even like some of the hardcore Republicans,
like I've never I don't think we've ever done a scandal where somebody was
alleging very partisan stuff when it came to beth Wood. But then this thing
happens, and it literally is like every problem I've ever had when it comes
to politicians ever. But no, she's running and you know what should probably
win in Incumbency is a powerful tool and people have very short attention spans.
That's just one of them. It's the other one to announce she's not running
for reelection. We're going to talk about when we come back. All right,
good morning, it is seven oh six. It is Friday, So
prepare yourself for hopefully being a useless blob, perhaps a bit of a degenerate,
whatever your weekend has in store. Just know the weather. It's going
to be decent on Sunday. Is what Race said. By the way way
Ross, You remember that raise out to like the tenth of next month.
I don't hurt because because I spent thirty minutes of this morning on the phone
with the Weather channel trying to see that's what I did between five and five.
Yeah, because they were still running weather cuts from like yesterday at three
fifteen, I assumed you were putting more wrestling wrestling dubs in. All right,
Well, I feel horrible now, so actually you maybe I'm bored with
my plan. I want to start a whisper campaign to convince race co workers
that he somehow is onto bigger and better things. Right, just like play
dumb and be like, you know, something very subtly suggests that he might
be up interviewing with GMA or something. Is that horrible that I want to
start like a strike there? It's kind of evil. It's funny though,
right, it's funny, but it's evil. But yeah, you know that
number because he was like, hey, if there's any issues, this call
this number and yeah, they will get you to the Okay that's when the
person really fast. Yeah, how that worked out? Yeah? I was
on hold really twenty minutes. Uh huh so because his email was alive.
So maybe you should be evil. That's because I heard raise up talking to
GMA. I shouldn't I've said too much. Anyway, he's going to be
the assistant to the regional manager of Al Roker, assistant regional assistant to the
to the regional manager, the assistant resistant to thet I gotta be honest.
I remember when um, when I came to North Carolina, I'm like,
all right, I'm here to do him a thing. And they were insistent
that I was assistant program director. And it literally was a title that I
held for a while that I do not anymore. And I'm like, I
don't know what this dude does. I'm here to do on air stuff.
So like, well, you're an assistant program director. And I realized what
it was. It was whenever the program director was out of town. I
got the phone call that to me when the station was off there, and
I'm like, this sucks. So Dwight should count his blessings. Is I
guess the point that I'm making. So, by the way, your assistant
program director now, so ready your phone? All right, oh right,
don't worry, we're gonna get all into the sub thing. We'll do it
here in just a moment. Chill out. So for those of it,
let me just throw this out there. And I understand that people listen at
different times. There is a method to what appears to be absolute chaos in
the way that we do things. Nine percent of what we do is chaos.
Ross will attest to this. One of us will see something during like
a commercial break, we'll set it to the other one, and we're like,
screw whatever we were doing, We're doing this now, all right.
That's true. However, when it comes to what we would consider the a
block of story, I do make an effort to either do him multiple times
or to funnel them into what are our most listened to times so that it's
maximum audience for it. Because the sub story is crazy, and I'm gonna
do it. I'm gonna do it coming up at the bottom of the hour
because I want to kind of launch it into Pete Calliner when he joins us
at eight oh five. That and the beth Wood story. So fear not,
it's on the way. Okay, all right, very good. Uh
we got the cats story, beth Wood story. We'll do that again,
all right. So here's the other election story. The mayor o'durham Elaine O'Neill,
Judge O'Neill has announced she is not running for reelection. So Bethwood Monster
Truck enthusiasts. Yes, what was the nickname we had for her? Oh?
How did this escape my brain? What what we call him? Beth
O'Neil. We had some Oh, wolf of Beth, wolf of Wall Street
O'Neill. That's right. Yeah, it's because of the scene in Wolf of
Wall Street, which is the only scene I've seen because I haven't seen the
movie where but like he's driving home and he thinks he's driving home fine,
yeah, I think right, and his head everything's fine. And then he
wakes up the next morning and the car is total because he was saying,
O high on kueluds or whatever. He's rolling down he's rolling down the steps
of the country club and it was oh fantastic. So she's rounding forela O'Neil's
not O'Neill said, I will not seek another term when it's spend time with
family. Blah blah blah blah blah. Her this is the last year of
her term. It'll be later in the year. Um, all right.
For those of you living in Durham, are you sad about this? You're
happy about this? Do you think things will improve? Because I gotta be
honest, because she was she was what mayor pro ten before and she said
some crazy crap. Man. I don't know. I don't know what the
reason for leaving is. Obviously that whole city council sounds dysfunctional when you got
council members literally con you know, threatening violence on others, including the mayor
um. But you know, the city of Durham, I will say,
this hasn't really solved the violence problem, but the city has. The city
has definitely and undeniably evolved with a whole host of new business and residence.
It's it is a hipster us do and and frankly, their restaurant scene over
there is incredible. They got all they got everything under the sun over there.
If you want something with the word artisanal in front of it, you
can get it in the City of Durham. And I don't begrudge them.
I like going to decent restaurants. They renovated a couple of hotels there.
The ballpark's fun to go to dpacks. Fine, you got good shows over
there. The venue is nice. I mean, I can appreciate that,
but it just means you're so on the cusp man. So when you got
that going for you and you have to go full moonbat on the shootings over
there where some kid I go back to this, but it's it's one of
those things that emotionally a little bit scarred me because I can envision myself.
I can envision myself not in the same scenario are, but a similar scenario
where we found it. We were going. There's a restaurant in Buffalo Wolming
called dash In. Dash In was the jam as a kid ross was there
a restaurant that if you and your siblings heard that you might be going to,
it made your whole damn day. There's a place that's connected a yeah
in the summer opens up called Jumping Jack's. Jumping Jack's. So when you
were like eleven or twelve and you heard you were going to jump in here,
you thought you thought there was a possibility you were going to jump in
Jack the greatest thing in the world. Oh your whole day, right,
So for us it was dashing the Patti meld at dash In and the ice
cream and which is funny because I'm not a sweets person now, but oh,
back in the day, that place, right, So imagine your excitement.
You have just found out from your parent you're going there. Your day's
made man. And that's exactly what happened with a young man and Durham,
a preteen who found out he was going to get snow cones. Right,
he's it's a hot day, families loading up in the suv. They're going
to get, you know, treats. I remember, that's one of the
greatest feelings as a kid. Man. That's awesome. It's weird. I
still have memories of like going I've been to dash In a thousand times when
I was in you know, once I was older, and every time I
go back, I eat there, like at least once a day. It's
about to say, we're gonna be going on vacation the week of July fourth,
and I'm going back home for the first time since We're stopping there,
aren't you? And I'm so excited to go to Jumping Jack's. Are you
going to mom or Jumping Jack's first. I'm gonna take mom too. Jumping
Jack's okay, all right, look at you killing two birds one stone.
I And so this story last year where this young man is he's he's going
he's going to get snow cones. But the problem is his family's suv looks
similar to some gangbangers SUV that some rappers got a beef with. So what
happens. They shoot into this car and they kill this kid. I mean,
just when you think of the emotional stuff that goes along with it,
it makes me so angry when I hear leadership in the city. I don't
live in the city of Durham. That's fair enough, but it doesn't mean
I can't be emotionally involved in this. So when I hear that story and
I'm able to process it through the similarities of how I felt when I was
a kid, I don't know why, but it makes it just more horrible
on what is already one of the one of the most horrible stories you'll hear
every year, and it's not the only the only kid to suffer violence because
you have this soft on crime approach, you have this defund the police attitude,
you have this insanity from leadership over there. So I got to be
honest with you. I'm happy Elaine O'Neill is not running for reelection, but
I'm not motivated to think they're going to do anything different, because along with
all of their hipster vibe and their restaurants, their young folk, and their
super liberal attitude. It's attracted that say they're just going to vote for another
O'Neil. Hell, they're probably gonna be like Chicago and get somebody worse.
And on that note, for any of our listeners who live in the city
of Durham, I feel bad for you. And it's not just Durham.
You have different variations in larger cities all across the state, most of which
we broadcast in. But Durham's further ahead on the Moonbat scale. And for
people, and I hear people they're like, you know where I see them
post on Twitter or whatever, and they're just like, you all don't get
it. It's great over here. We got restaurants, We've got all that.
And I'm like, do you care that, like in the part of
town you don't go to, kids are getting shot, going to get a
snow cone. I mean, you claim to care, but do you recognize
that that is a product of the people who you elect to put in charge
not getting serious about stopping it, Because if you cared, that would be
so even if you want somebody who's like all about having, you know,
pride parades every weekend, if they were at the very least actually cracking down
on the criminal element there. Like I would get that in the sense that
like I could understand how you could you could vote for that person, but
that's not right. And cash bail. They're protesting out in front of the
jail. Why are you locking people? Blows my mind, absolutely blows my
mind. All right, Jamal, I only have about two and a half
minutes, but it's all yours. How are you feeling? You live in
Durham, breathing and value razing? Scy How are you you know what?
Casey, what's gonna happen to durn It's the same thing happened to Chicago.
Were gonna They're gonna probably end up a laking of Brandon Johnson. I live
in Durham. When I ran against Eline O'Neil, I said one the crime
is gonna go up because they won't address the problem. You got a mail
pro temper who actor who went and wrote to fund the police in front of
the Durham Police department. When you had a shooting last year they shot at
the school bus. He's idiot went out there, said mayor pro campum god,
I cannot think of his name. Black dude without there said it's because
of poverty that they shot up the school. You're allowed to hold school boy?
Are you allowed to say that? Or you can't remember so many name
We're like, yeah, black dude, because I can't say that, Well,
oh yeah I can say and you can say it took I got permission,
so yeah, oh you remember, I'm a jerk. Also remember the
district, the manager, the mayor, Mark, his name is his name
is Mark Anthony Middletons. The ProTem Yeah, Mark Anthony Middleton said right there
and say this because people poor, That's why they shot at the school.
Dervis just successful. And the people that are in the leadership the city council
ribing people sitting up there trying to extort people everything people keep complaining about all
its white racism. It's not white racism. They sit there, they take
doom buggies, they take four wheels and they ride up Damna Street like they
own it. And as long as also said Tanna Doom, she's part of
the problem. I wish she would reside. I wish she would just stet
up in the She's part of the problem. And I hope and played,
I hope and prayed. When Mark Robinson becomes governor. He launched an investigation
inside the dum so they can sit there and realize how they have destroyed the
city and the people that are responsible brought up on charges. North Carolina Republicans,
you don't have to wait for that though, Jamal. Again, the
governor doesn't have that, but because of the structure of the home rule in
North Carolina, the legislature could so. Um. You know, I'm just
saying you don't have to wait, man. I have to be honest,
I have to disperge this information. I am a Republican and I don't need
to the Republican Party. But my Republican Party here in North Carolina have a
yellow streak so big down there back you can see it from space. You
can see that deeper than the guys nick down in at Tacnon. But done
is so horrible, Number Casey. Like I've told you before, you have
more love and concern for the people of Durn than anybody on the city council.
Will say that again, kayco Day and Ross Hayes have more love and
concern for Durn than the people who sit there and on a city council running
you you did, and they shold how bad during this within thirty days shot
spotty technology within thirty days, right, and ninety shootings. Well, they
said, hold on now, I heard some of the city council say that
some of those could have been backfires of cars. So don't be spreading,
don't be don't be fake news. Jamalfity Council nor Elaine O'Neil didn't go out
then say black community, the problem is you. I said this before.
They didn't go out then and say the problem is you. This not white
supremacy. You have to stop this shooting instead of some up they're trying to
make excuse all day. I gotta roll. I'm up against the clock.
Appreciate the call this part. I'm glad you're ecstatic. Okay, all right,
And because it's gonna get worse, well, I gotta well that's unfortunately
my prediction as well, but I gotta go to break. Jamal, have
your shelf a good weekend, sir. Okay, here too, all right?
Seven twenty three case O Day Radio program Hang on MASSI eliminates one six
one FM talk in the Triangle and the Triad. Well, I have incredibly
good news for all of you. They had a I have a blue gainery
instead of that orange crap. So that's me. I was all Pezzi had
drink orange yesterday just so I would have the blue to day. Sorry,
it's not you would all want to know about how amazingly my day's going.
And for all you orange Gatorade enthusiasts do better. Okay, all right,
very good, let's get into this. So wait, hold on, I
got my audio ready, there we go. All right, So a few
things going on. Is anybody you guys see the new bud Light ad?
But and maybe it's just through the vision of everything we know with all of
the issues with bud Light, but I don't know how it can keep getting
sadder every time they put a commercial out, right, Remember the initial one
after the kerfuffle was like America, here's some horses and some flags and stuff,
right, and everyone's like, nah, it's not at ain't it?
Chief? And then what was the one we were talking about last week?
Oh, the country music festival? Right? Was that you roj You brought
that up where they're at the country music festival and your wife's like, nah,
I ain't it. And she doesn't even really pay attention to this stuff,
right, I mean, you know, she's vaguely aware of it because
she works so much and like, like she just learned about the sub the
Titanic sub yesterday like afternoon, Like she heard nothing about Like dude, I
bring up these stories and she's always like, I have no idea. And
for us, it's like because we live in this and we swim in it
and it's news twenty four seven, we're up to date and like all these
stories. But there's constantly these stories where I'm like, oh, you haven't
heard about this, how you know? And then explained it to her.
So she was completely unaware of the bud Light controversy. In the same recently
with the whole Target situation, like she learned about that her friend in Greensboro
was like, we're not shopping there anymore, and she was like why and
all this kind of stuff, And so the bud Light commercial comes on the
TV and she's unaware of of the real depth view of the conversations. Do
you vocal? Because I have to imagine because there's been several stories where You've
told me a lot of it's off the air at where I sent a story
in the in the prep packet, and then I'm assuming I envisioned you sitting
on the couch at your laptop next to your wife. Right, is that
probably pretty close across the woman in the man chair? Correct? In the
I was like, did you move? Do you have a mansion? Now?
Um? All right, so you're sitting in the man chair, and
I'm assuming from time to time, based on our conversation, you go,
oh my gosh, look at this. Right. Typically, no, okay,
because she's working. I'm focusing on Lincoln and he is a lot of
work. I mean, it's just it's it's she's what. It's crazy enough,
you'll bring it up. But for the most part, sometime, sure,
it's very rare for me. Okay, all right, all right,
I just want to be accurate on this. Yeah, because then you tell
me, she's like, she just found out about this, and you're right,
I run it through the filter of this is what we swim in.
So there's that. But she was aware of, you know of kind of
aware of the situation, but not so the recent commercial came out and she
was like, come on, guys, it was the previous one with the
country music. Right, all right, So bud Light again has put another
commercial out, and um, it's all about summer. I mean, can
you imagine your summer without bud Light? No other options? Right, Well,
bud Light wants you to think about that. There's a song you're familiar
with and probably like to put that background. There's people doing dumb stuff all
you that dude you can't get in the hammock. There's a guy who's got
way too many bud lights in his arms. Ha ha, I can totally
relate to that. It's more of that music you like. There's a bunch
of people having a backyard barbecue. Those are fun. Huh. All right,
I'm not gonna play the whole thing because it's just music. Ross.
Did you notice of the fifty different scenarios roughly that are encapsulated in that ad,
did you notice what's not in that ad? Yeah, barbecue's got people
at the beach, you got guys. Damn. The one thing that I
noticed was the theme was was people being idiots and buffoons and yeah, yeah,
yeah, But did you notice what's not in there? What's not in
there? I did not see one representation of LGBT that is accurate, not
a even a passive thing, where like where they had the group in the
backyard, you could have had a you could have had a gay couple,
but bud Light, Nah, they didn't put any of that in there.
And considering now in today's advertising where you know what, I didn't see in
there either as an interracial couple, where that is almost by design, they
did not, They actively didn't include that. In my humble opinion, I
don't think it's a coincidence. I mean, and I understand that, but
you know, I'm not if I see an interracial couple in a commercial,
it's not that that bothers me in any way, shape or form. Don't
care. Don't care. And it's not about even randomly seeing a gay couple
in a commercial. It is where it is wildly overrepresented in Hollywood, where
people go, are you trying to recreate, you know, normal life so
that people can relate, or are you intentionally greasing the numbers? And there
is there is a fine line there where people recognize at some point that there's
a bit of manipulation because it's not an accurate representative. Do you remember that
story we did where they were talking about the percentage of the population who identifies
as LGBT versus the percentage if you just watched network television and how different it
is. That's the stuff where people go, what are you doing? Because
most people don't care. They don't care if there's an interracial couple, they
don't even care. If there's a you know, a gay couple represented,
they just don't. I don't don't care. I've dated, I've dated interationally.
It didn't care. I'm not bragging. This isn't about my black friend.
I just don't care. But when you wildly overrepresent it, that's where
people go, what are you doing? And bud Light knows that's what's up,
so they made a conscious decision, in my humble opinion, to not
include it. It's almost it would almost have to be because the advertising agencies
almost exclusively will seek that out and all there's if you look at some of
the stories about casting calls, they're very specific in there, this is what
they want. And I've had discussions with people are like, what's the bit?
Why are you pointing that out? I'm pointed out not because it's a
thing, but because it's a forced thing like a lot of other things.
So once it becomes that and it's like, what was it Gillette who did
all the razor ads and tank, their hank, their stock price a few
years ago, where they're like where they were just bemoaning how much men are
horrible, And it's like, dude, you're selling face raisers. Two dudes,
what is this but that bud light ad? Watch it? Well,
we're tweeting it out at Casey on the radio. It's not in there,
And I find that very interesting, all right? Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. I'm sorry Ross. Who is since Stagi's doing
that thing? Who's on Weather today? That would be Ken Boone? Ken
Boone? Who's he? What's he doing? He's doing some interviewers. I'm
sorry, Ken Boon from the Weather Channel. What's up, my man?
How you doing? I'm doing well, good morning. Oh. We are
going to see a little bit of a dryer trend to the weather once we
get into the weekend, but I still think we've got a pretty good chance
to see some showers and storms at any time as we head through the day
today. Otherwise, cloudy skies and a little bit warmer than we were yesterday.
Temperatures this afternoon expected to reach highs in a low part of the eighties.
Partly cloudy overnight to night, upper sixties. I think we'll see more
sunshine mix in with the clouds tomorrow, but it's still a slight chance to
see a shower storm through the afternoon. Temperatures into the mid eighties tomorrow,
and then Sunday Sunday skies rather hot to finish the weekend upper eighties to around
nineties Sunday afternoon. So Sunday is the golf day? Is that what I'm
hearing from you? Sunday would be the best day. Yes, if you
want to plan something outdoors, although we'll be a little on the hot side.
Okay, Well, you know what, We'll drink plenty of alcoholic beverages.
It'll be fine. There you go, all right, thanks, Ken,
appreciate it, all right? Ken Moon there from the Weather Channel.
Ross you hear what I did there? Planted a seed? Man, Dude,
I'm gonna keep this thing going because I'm assuming it's not gonna be Ken
every day. It's probably gonna be you know, Jeff Maher, Ken,
boy, what are you talking about Ray's big gig? Yeah? Yeah,
well interview for the gig? So right, we don't want to get too
far ahead of ourself. No, no, no, no, I just
you know, Uh, it's gonna be our project seven forty six. All
right, so what's up with the sub Yeah, apparently this has been a
known thing for days. And I'm gonna give you some technical stuff. Okay,
give you a little technical stuff which I found fascinating. I mean,
it's a it's a horrible story, but if you have to go judging by
the description, it's pretty interesting. So we got that. But also a
little conspiracy thought. I don't know that it's true, but it's a good
point. And nerd fight, So nerd fight technical stuff and conspiracy. Okay,
and Pete Calendar at eight oh five, all come in your way,
hang on smart talk all day, nine four five WPTI in the Triad and
one oh six one FM talking in the triangle. You know, for two
people who are antisocial and I don't like to be around people, Ross and
I are. I think we work really well together because independent of each other
on both the bud light thing and the submarine thing or excuse me, submersible.
Please don't send me your email. We arrived basically the same place,
and I want to reiterate because I don't know if I stress the point enough.
When I was talking about the bud Light ad because you really have to
understand what's going on here. It's not just a commercial where they're you know,
they're they're snapping back and forth to all of these different settings. It
is a continued opinion. So if you watch the commercial, you don't have
interracial couples, you don't have LGBT representation in there. So you have to
ask yourself, in today's marketing environment, how did that happen? Because if
you go to a marketing in the agency, almost you don't have to request
it. And it's interesting actually, so if you see these pitch sheets,
right, if you see copy like we see copy on the radio side,
it's somewhat limited. You see it on the TV side, they're very specific.
It looks like a script, but it says, you know, scene
opens on a black husband and white wife, blah blah blah blah blah.
And if you watch that bud Light commercial, you'll see that that doesn't exist
in there. And so where am I going with this? Obviously bud Light
whoever is handling the marketing right now, because that chicks quote unquote on remember
this is the woman who did the interview and she's like our clienteles a bunch
of frat it's a fratty environment, and you get what she's implying there.
So rather than admitting that that was stupid, they created yet another commercial.
Except the commercial is based on the assumption and I don't feel that I'm wrong
here. They created a commercial that they felt was appropriate for their audience,
their traditional customers who have gone away, But they catered it under the assumption
that you have a problem with people who are gay or in an interracial relationship.
In fact, Ross, there's not a lot of people of color in
that commercial. They're there, I don't is they even way? Yeah,
there's one dude at that big party there, but my but you get what
I'm saying. Right, You mentioned that the previous segment people don't care liked
upon them. They Yeah, there's always the outlier, right, there's always
the small percentage of a right, Yeah, the average person doesn't care.
We're cool with it, We're fine. A lot of us are like children
of the eighties and nineties, right, that's their target demo, right now.
We we were brought up differently, right, Like I mentioned this before,
it's a generation that has never known life without Martin Luther King Junior day.
It's part of our existence, right. You base people and you judge
people on the content of their character, not on the color of their skin.
And when it comes to who you're sleeping with, most of us don't
care. It makes absolutely no difference. But when everything is that main focus,
it becomes tiresome. And because it's not representative, it's not representative of
reality of the Democrat, because it's an accusation against you, where you're like,
why are they telling me that I have a problem with this? Who
the hell are you? And when you look at the newest commercial, the
bud light commercial, what you're gonna notice is every single little snippet instant in
the ad is a white person doing something dumb or stupid. Yeah, first,
one person doesn't know how to sit in a hammock falls out. The
other person doesn't know how a refrigerator works, breaks it. The other person
doesn't know how a egg works. The other person doesn't know how to tan,
and over and over and over again. However, like you said,
there's no minority representation, So is that their idea of what they think their
customers? Right, it is the same opinion that that woman expressed put into
a sixty second commercial. It is somebody went, we're gonna fix this and
we're going to give them what they want. And we feel that our customer
base doesn't want minorities, minority or interracial couples or gay people, right,
and they're all dumb, frat stupid white people. So they've learned nothing.
It's not just the dumb hu you know. The dumb husband thing is the
thing that some people up beef with, which once again is tiresome. Absolutely
absolutely, And look, I don't even have a if bud light wasn't in
the predicament they're in showing a commercial of people doing dumb stuff during the summer
because they're drinking. I wouldn't have a problem with because that's the thing that
happens, right people. I'm dude, I remember I've told this story.
I first moved to North Carolina. I'm like, how does nobody trying to
sell me moonshine? And one three of you sent moonshine to the radio station.
What did my dumbass do? I went down to Topsail Island. I
had my little Mason jar it was peach, thank you, and I had
my little chair in the beach and I drank a little bit of it and
I ended up falling. I ended up with I look like a crab,
I'm an idiot. Whatever. It was good, But that commercial and how
they think it appeals to you is what they expect of you or what they
think you want. So that woman's opinion that you're a bunch of dumb,
fratty, racist people who drink bud Lighter, in this case, drink American
Logger, that's a continuation of that opinion. And they don't even realize that
by structuring that commercial how they did and then coupling it with a bunch of
dumb white people doing dumb stuff, but leaving out all that other stuffy they
continue to misunderstand their audience. And all they gotta do is come out and
be like, look, we hired this marketing agency. This woman doesn't work
for us anymore. Her opinion of our customers is repugnant to us. All
of this could have been and now they're twenty billion dollars in market capital.
I have a way for them to solve the problem, and I know most
people have come to this conclusion. All you need is a black screen with
the words in an all white in the center that says we're sorry, and
then the bud light logo. But they can't do that because then they're going
to piss off the other side and they should have never gotten into politics.
But that's all they need to do. That's that's all the ad has to
be. There had no sound, silent white letters with the logo. It's
yeah. But then I'm getting that post nine to eleven and post COVID.
Remember all the COVID commercials during these trying times. But what else are they
going to do? Because every they're not gonna do anything. They're gonna continue
to double down on this. We'll talk about it with Pete Calendar. We'll
get into the sub discussion too. It's crazy coming up next. Hang on,
all right, good born in everybody. It is eight o seven,
It's Friday, which is the important piece of that puzzle. Glad to have
you along ac O day radio program. Boy boy, we got some stuff
to get into to help us do it. It's our radio buddy to the
south. Peak Calendar joins us. Pete, how you doing this morning?
I'm doing all right, just getting ready for that Kamala Harris presidency. You
know, I didn't get into it, you know what, you know,
I don't even know if I want to bring it up. I made an
ad decision not to do the story yesterday. Not no, not that story,
but the Marjorie Taylor Green Bobert thing. Oh no, yeah, yeah,
I don't care about that, okay, all right? Yeah, Wow,
you got four hundred and thirty five people together and they don't all get
along all the time. Wow, Okay, breaking news. I know,
it's just so stupid. It's just because you know what, all right,
damn it, we're into it. You look now, we're into it.
What are you doing? Yeah, we're gonna but we're only gonna spend real
quick. All right. So, for those of you don't know, U,
reportedly, Marjorie Taylor Green called Lauren Boberd a little female dog the B
word. All right. So um and but and I initially, Ross will
attest to this. Him and I both independently ignored that story yesterday. And
it was only after the show when we were talking. Ross attest that this
is accurate. It was only after the show when we're like, I wonder
why she did it? That we looked right after the show, all right,
all right, So you're shaking and say, yes, that's how that
happened. And then when I saw what it was, I couldn't have imagined
something that's stupid. So the beef, for those you don't know, was
Marjorie Taylor Green had her own articles of impeachment and it wasn't getting any traction,
and by the way, Bobert's are going to get a little, but
it's a procedural. And then Bobert put her own in and that irritated Green.
It was essentially one of them was at a party, the other one
showed up wearing the same dress. It was the dumbest thing ever. Well,
yeah, I didn't Green accuse bober of essentially plagiarizing, Yeah, copying
her articles of impeachment or something. Yeah, and so it's just it's going
to go to the committee. So the AP, you know, is framing
it in the in the Republican leadership is framing it as a stall tactic,
and maybe it is, I don't know, but they ran that thing through
before we learn about the I R. S. Whistleblower details, and so
now it's kind of like boom, Well maybe they could use that vehicle in
order to advance impeachment articles, or they could take that vehicle and park it
on top of another vehicle in downtown Raleigh and then run for reelection. Nice.
That is a professional segue. Do not attempt that at home. Casey
is a is a trained professional on a closed course. Here. So Beth
Wood says she is running for reelection, and you know what, she'll probably
get reelected. I just hope that someone else is driving the campaign bus,
that's all. Can you imagine if she did one of those whistle stop tours
in the back of a train of rangers. Well, yeah, so I
do wonder like if you yeah, yeah, I mean, how do you
go to any fundraising event? Right? If this is the thing that that
amazes me about people who have scandals like this, right, and then they
go out and hit the circuit and they get up in front of crowds and
do you do you make the joke? Do you not make the joke?
Whatever? But you know that the audience knows this stuff, and everybody is
engaged in this sort of pretend amnesia, like we won't bring it up,
you don't mention it, and it's all good. We'll all just kind of
forget that it ever happened like this, whatever you think I'm going to connect
this, trust me. But whatever you think about Tiger Woods, right with
all of the scandal, remember when he the original one where he's like,
yeah, he drove the car, he fell asleep and drove the car into
the tree and all that, and then everybody found out, oh my gosh,
he's you know, got some serious um drug abuse issues and stuff.
And then all the stuff about the hookers come out or whatever it was.
Yeah, well, well he drove the tree. He drove it into the
tree trying to get away from his wife that was wielding the seven iron,
right right, But why because because the women? Because because he tapped Chili's
waitress ers or per Rise or something. Yeah right, right, yeah,
but I thought he was all a dost up on ambient. But anyway,
the point here is that like I like I really do believe that that's and
why he did so poorly after that. That's the psychological component. Is you're
walking around on the golf course and you know that everybody there knows all of
this stuff about you, and it gets in your head and he couldn't he
couldn't play the game after that because it's such a psychological driven game, you
know. And that's what I wonder about. Don't disagree with you, I
like there was more than one person I talked to is like I will rent
him a hooker. Do you know what I'm like? Woods? Right?
Um, Yeah, I mean there's a lot going on there, don't get
me wrong. Yeah, that's the thing with like that, Woods. She's
gonna get up there. Yeah, she's gonna get up in front of these
crowds of people, and she's gonna start giving speeches and stuff. And like,
you got to be on guard right for any any kind of sentence or
even word that you say that might have a double meaning that ties back to
you know, drinking, partying, duy, hit and run car accidents,
like driving in general. Anything you say is going to have this sort of
twisted meaning now, and that's got to get into your head. But I
guess that's what makes politicians, you know, different, is that it doesn't
apparently like it doesn't register at all. They just do whatever, say whatever.
It's like, just keep going forward. Scandal, no scandal doesn't matter.
I mean, maybe I feel like you're missing one of the key components
there. If you only if you're a Republican. Well everyone only had too.
If you're a Republican, you have to be on guard for that.
But what is Beth Wood with the letter after her name have to worry about.
You've seen the coverage they can't get. The media can't get enough of
this Tim Moore stuff, which to me, I don't know what happened,
but it feels very like horrible divorce story. Right, Okay, but RL's
they're banging away on this. They're doing eight yard words a day, and
yeah, Tim holding lobbyist orgies. I mean, it's crazy. But if
beth Wood comes out there and is you know, makes some reference, that's
an easy callback to that, like you know, we don't want to crash
something and she means something else. But right, But if she says that
they're not going to do eight hundred words on that, you know this M
yeah, no, I yeah, I do. It's that's I call it
the big D shield, right, That's what it does. It protects you
from it protects you from that kind of coverage. And I call it the
defend or disavow game D or D. And it's where you know you did
something and so someone's going to stick a microphone in my face and ask me,
do I defend what you did or disavow what you did? And it's
like, well, I didn't do that thing, but you got to you
gotta take a position. And on this Tim Moore story, Uh, you
know, we have the complaint. But my wife is she works in family
law as they call it family law, but it's you know, divorce proceedings
and such. And if you're at the point where apparently this Waite County couple
is like, it's already bad, right, it has gotten very, very
bad. It's very messy and anger, you know, a lot of anger
and trying to hurt each other. And I don't know the details of what
all went went on and what didn't. I'm willing to wait, just like
usually I do, Like, let's wait and hear somewhere or the information.
Now, the one thing I would I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen is
that she said there is a signed separation agreement. Now that means something.
So when was that signed? Because that's that's a pretty important piece of information.
But nobody has asked her, and she has her lawyer hasn't provided the
date. I think that's important because it's relevant to whether or not the complaint
from the from the estranged husband has merit or not. I don't disagree at
all, um, but you know, one I didn't realize how screwge you
are. You got to be on your best behavior, dude, I will
say, Um, I come out looking much better by example or by Yeah,
my wife loves the fact that I don't do all of the things that
she hears about, you know, like every now and again, she'll just
come home and say, oh, thanks a lot for not doing this terrible
thing, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, just like
I met you, why, I looks so nice. But now I realize
you score you in a court of law. So this all right? Well
yeah, that's yeah. So I'm on my best behavior, okay, all
right yeah yeah. So um let me get into this. Have you seen
the new have you seen the latest bud Light commercial? Do I have to
No, no, no, no, but I but there's something I you
know, one of the things that you and I do is we have to
uh. The guy who kind of mentored me, he referred to it as
peeling the onion, right, we see, we peel the onion. Yeah,
yeah, till everybody cries. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, all
right, So if you look at the new bud light commercial, and so
what do they do? They went out and they licensed sheiks seventy was a
seventy nine or eighty good time song. All right, all right, all
right, they went with a summer theme, right, I started to do
on the radio. But wait, if you watch the commercial, it's a
minute long, and it's about fifty cutshots of different scenarios, and in each
scenario it's somebody doing something stupid. Right. A woman lays with her cell
phone on her belly while she's tanning. Now she's got a tan mark.
Some guy doesn't know how a keg works. Guy can't get into a hammock.
Somebody's got too many bud lights in his arms trying to walk in the
yard. All right, and if and if you didn't have all the bud
light before that, the you know, insanity, it wouldn't be a thing.
We peel the onion here. Yeah, and you remember, and people
should remember that it wasn't just about the Dylan mulvaney ad that in and yourself.
If they just came out and said we sent it to one hundred influencers,
what's your problem, right, we made six of these cans. They're
not they're not for sale anywhere else. We gave him a limited run.
We sent it to a hundred people, right exactly. That wasn't I agree
to that. That was not that. I mean, I know people may
want to make it that for their own reasons, like either yay, you
know, uh, you know, we object to the transgender stuff and so
we're gonna make it about him, or you get people that are defending bud
Light because they want to defend transgenders. That's I don't think that that was
the reason. No, no, no, no, it was a combination
of things, because that's a perfect People are somewhat reasonable, especially when they're
on the side that's less likely to boycott stuff. They had just said,
look, we just looked to see who's got the views, and these are
the hundred people with the most views. We sent them a can. Fine.
What was damning was a peek into the opinion of management of their customer
base. And you saw that obviously with the marketing woman who's referred to it
as a fratty environment and various other things. But it was derogatory. So
bud Light does this commercial and like I said, it's like fifty different cutshots
of all these stupid things, which, in a normal fashion for funny beer
ads, would have just been another beer ad. But I noticed something when
I was watching it, and I'm curious your initial thought on this, and
I'll tell you where I'm at in the fifty cuts, it's what's not in
there, and that would include interracial couples, any LGBTQ representation. It's it's
just dumb white people. There is there are a couple people of color in
there that are you know, a part like the backyard Party's got a little
mixture, but it's not in there. So when you notice a lack of
any of that in a sixty second national commercial today with today's marketing agencies.
By the way, did you know but Light's marketing agency just got their own
their version of an oscar. They just got an award. But when you
see that not included in the sixty seconds, what does that make you think?
Well, first off, like every commercial nowadays, as those elements right
right, like right, the interracial couples are everywhere, and I'm not I
don't have any objection to that's fine, um, but it's noticeable, right,
like you can tell usually, but yeah, but there's a I'm sorry
to interrupt, but there's a difference between it being in there. Somebody did
a study of network TV versus percentage of the population for LGBT, and it
was like it was like double minimum double, And so once people start feeling
it's forced, I think that's where people get up to it. But I'm
with you, don't care, don't care, but there's something right here.
So I'm sorry to interrupt. You go ahead, Well, so, yeah,
no, And I was gonna say the same thing about the you know,
LGBT representation. There's an overrepresentation in UH in marketing and advertising and media,
and you can argue that that's for a good reason, but it is
noticeable. Again, I don't I don't object to the to the UH,
the use of different images like that to sell your product, right, sell
your product, it's fine, But when you then take those elements out right,
you're now sending a message like even first of all, it sends a
message that you made a conscious decision to do this, because I'm assuming these
are not just like viral videos that they've just compiled. These are these are
produced videos of people doing stupid things. Right, So there's that, and
there's also and so if you are stripping out all of that, then it
does kind of send a message that, hey, look at all of these
white people doing stupid stuff. Well, so, like, so, are
you trying to win back? Are you trying to win back? Are you
trying to win back the white frat boys? Is that the idea by saying,
hey, yeah, you're so good? No, no, no,
you're so close. There's one more layer, there's one more layer. Yeah,
that's bud, that's Bud Light admitting that they agree with her because they
feel that if they're going to win back their audience, Yeah, that they
assume that their audience is a bunch of bigots and races? Am I wrong?
Right? So we got yeah? No, yeah, you're right,
I mean the yeah, obviously, if that's who they're targeting, Hey,
white frat boys, drink our beer again, We're sorry, we messed up
too. Like I would like, if you're actually doing some kind of video
like that, why not put Dylan mulvaney in that video? Right, if
you're I mean, if that's your if that's your mayacolpa supposedly, Oh,
we're so sorry to have offended you, here's a bunch of white people doing
stupid stuff, and so look, we're just like you. And that's their
idea of who their audience is. It sounds like like yeah, and and
so that's like here you look, I speak, you're learning question your can
on my forehead? Yeah, like that's that. It's kind of infigation insulting.
Yeah, there's a trick to it though. Okay, yeah, you
got to kind of pinch the can first. You tell do not like telling
people where you fish or you're fledding hill? No, no, no,
no, no, no no. This is me helping our loyal audience to
outperform other people's audiences. Do you know what I'm saying. I want to
spin. I want people when they do stuff that amazes other people to go
And I listened to Casey and Pete. No, but that's but that's the
current marketing structure of bud Light, even with her on a sabbatical or whatever
the hell that is. Um, that's them basically saying the same thing she
said. We assume that our core audience doesn't like these things because there are
a bunch of racists and bigots. So we're gonna tailor a commercial to them.
It's arguably doubling down. Man. Yeah, well yeah, I mean
yeah, and that's the thing that that's the thing that got them into trouble
in the first place. And it's a it maybe and maybe it is.
Maybe they do know their audience. I don't know, like, but they're
making assumptions about all of the people in their audience based on what is apparently
just a racial and gender demographic. Yeah. I got a minute and a
half. I'm gonna get into more of the details coming up here in the
show. There's a conspiracy that even though the Navy's sub was able to detect
the implosion of the submersible, don't call it us up going to visit the
Titanic, they waited until yesterday to cover up the whistle blower testimony. All
right board with that? Oh my god, No, no, no,
that I think. I mean, I would like to know the TikTok on
on who made what calls to let stuff out? Now as I understand that
the Navy had the information and gave it over, but it's a sensitive kind
of program, which when I read it, I thought, wow, we're
listening underwater around the Titanic, Like, how many of these microphones do we
have in the ocean, because it's pretty big, you know. But yeah,
so that's the first question. And the other thing is you let the
families think for four days that their loved ones were suffocating to death and when
in fact they had actually probably died instantly, you know, and beyond instantly.
I sorry to catch you off. I got about fifteen seconds, but
we'll get into more of that, and I'm sure Pete you're probably gonna mention
that coming up new into three or von later, so they're just a little
bit probably all right, Thanks sir, appreciate it, and we will be
right back. Hang on, and I'm Martin Hooch, the inventor of Navaz
and nasal Care, Your Day Smarter one O six one FM Talk and News
Talk WPTI more with Casey starts. Now. All right, let's go ahead,
and oh I was gonna say, deep diet, Let's not do that.
Um let's talk about the the submersible for a moment, because there's a
lot going on here, and I gotta tell you it was quite the rabbit
hole yesterday of various conspiracy theories. And there's three bigot well, there's two
big ones and then there's another one that I'll share with you. The rosters
dubbed in and refer what'd you call it the stupidest thing you've heard? I
mean, you know, high am with conspiracy theory. I love it,
and it's just it's weak but doesn't have a certain estalgia it does. However,
I had not heard that one before, and maybe that's what it is,
because it's like currently if there's a conspiracy theory. And don't get me
wrong, lots of conspiracy theories are government related on got it, but it's
like there is a need to partisanly drag it, right, Some conspiracy theories
exist with government being part of it, but it's it doesn't feel like a
partisan thing. It's just government at all. And nowadays we have a conspiracy
theory, it's because you know they're and then it's meant to specifically attack an
individual candidate for their partisanship versus I'm not describing this well. And especially here's
the thing too, it's very hard to speak clearly for people who are conspiratorially
minded because now they think I'm in on it. So so one and this
is this is let me give you an example of what I think is a
very partisan conspiracy theory. So now we find out that the US Navy,
as part of their listening program, is an approgram. And Pete and I
were just talking about this, and I had several people email me, go,
we've had listening devices and you know, the entrance to Major US Harbor
since World War Two. I understand that, But the Titanic is not in
US waters. It's like a thousand miles from Long Island, Okay, But
that does I understand that they're listening. That being said, and I talked
about this the other day. I found it very hard to understand, with
everything that we have, even at twelve thousand feet under the water, that
the technology doesn't exist, technology that we would have developed not for finding some
ercibles, but rather for finding enemy submarines to know what's up. Then I
found that very hard to believe. And I was vindicated. I was correct
because we find out that they did know, and in fact, they actually
heard the implosion of the submersible. And there's there's a lot of conspiracies,
and then I'll get to the science. Okay, So conspiracy number one,
even though they knew for days, which we referenced with Pete they didn't say
anything, and they waited until they knew the whistleblower testimony, which is pretty
crazy, and I'm gonna do that in the next segment, but I kind
of held off because I know all the other shows are going to beat it
to death. They knew, and they waited until the news cycle had negative
things for Joe Biden, so then they put it in there. Now,
to Pete's point, there was days that families may have had hope when we
knew, and that's pretty messed up. Actually, remember yesterday when we started
the show, because the clock was running, they said they had an hour
of air left. And if you're one of the family members and for three
days you thought you're you know, there's a chance, and the government knew
there wasn't. But I also get the argument that although they didn't hold to
it where you want to kind of stay away from revealing the technology that you
have, but then they went and did it. So what's the point.
Why did you wait? So that's conspiracy number one. I'll let you debate
whether that was the reason for the season, all right. Conspiracy number two,
if I can, for just a moment that involves the Federal Reserve Ross.
You've probably heard this one, right, the reason the Titanicus that is
the most popular one. Yeah, it's that there was like four of the
biggest billionaires whatever in the planet and there who didn't want the federalies, right,
and that it was sunk by what is it, like the Rothchilds or
something. So of course it goes back to the Jews, right, Yeah,
man, the Jews are busy. I'll tell you what. That is
the most typical one. That's the most popular theory though. I was just
telling Ross off the air because you guys know, I went on vacation and
I went to Colombia and Ecuador, and I want to go back to South
America. But I feel like I want to go to one of those like
German enclaves. Remember we ran the TikTok where these like these stupid tourists like
where we're in Brazil now or where were they? They're in Argentina. We're
in Argentina and wouldn't you We drove up to the mountains and there's a whole
German village here and it was like, you don't know why that's there?
Do you? I want to go to one of those? Is that weird?
That I want to go to one of those. I just want to
see it and be like what. It's fascinating because it's so out of place.
It's like you're down in you know, South America and you're in Bavaria.
Yeah. The architecture, the people, the language, it's so weird.
And they speak German. I actually German is when I took in a
high school, so I have like this very small like there's a few words.
I like German because all the words are American. Were not all the
words, but a lot of the words are or English but pronounced as though
you're drunk out of your mind. Oh yeah, I also took in high
school. I took in middle school too, like eight years or something.
Ridiculous of German. How do you say water? You know apple? I
don't remember, right, it's just drunk. And then so if you just
get drunk, then you speak the language. I'm pretty sure. My theory
at the time was that, you know, Germany was responsible for World War
This is me thinking in like fifth sixth grade, right, parents, no
outside information, me assessing the situation, coming to my own conclusion, like
Germany World War One, Germany World War two. I've better learned German because
the next time it's going to be Germany. That's fair, that's fair,
you know, in a in a way, I've actually heard people promote Spanish
language like uh rosetta stone and whatnot, going where they're where. They're politely
suggesting you better get on board, and frankly, um, well, in
retrospect, I should have chosen Spanish. Well that's the thing. That's the
thing too, right, Like it makes sense now. Um who there's a
TikTok or that TikTok or YouTuber name. Um, I don't know what his
real name is. He goes by Chome and he's just he's just like New
York white dude. He speaks like almost perfect Chinese. He speaks like all
the dial it's fantastic, like fruit markets, bus up, you know.
Um uh like uh different weird dialects and people are like, oh my gosh.
But he all he learned Spanish in like ten minutes, which irritated me.
Um, but like, if you have Chinese in Spanish, you're probably
good because Spanish. The one thing I've learned about Spanish is I've been learning
it is it And this is why European people are so comfortable traveling. So
many of the words are carryovers, like they're very close. I now know
like six ways to ask for a straw that would work in like a ton
of countries. So if you can lock Chinese down in Spanish, when Ross's
healthscape gets here, you're probably going to be You're gonna be able to argue
against your own execution, which is good. You want to be able to
do that. So we got federal reserve, we got Biden staging the announcement,
whatever, but also we had a reinvigorated reinvigorated Other Titanic conspiracies hit in
the TikTok, and I just want to share what one of those sounds like.
The Titanic never truly went under. Everyone is familiar with the tale of
the unstoppable ship that perished after colliding with an iceberg, but perhaps that isn't
the case. Apparently, the Titanic's owners owned both the Titanic and the Olympic.
The Olympian was an elderly vessel that had sustained significant damage on prior voyages.
It was rumored that the Olympics owners only wanted to get rid of it
since it was no longer lucrative. As a result, the owners replaced the
Titanic with the Olympic just before it sets sail in order to recover some of
the insurance proceeds used to fund the RMS Olympic. A few minutes prior to
the Titanic's departure, several of the most influential passengers, including JP Morgan,
pulled out of the trip. All right, so that's what you get on
the TikTok. And I gotta tell you, there's a certain nostalgia to it
just because it feels old school, but it's really weak. So your theory
is that it's an insurance scam. I'll know about all that, but I
appreciate varieties. So there you go. Let me hit you with some reality
real quick. Then we get to weather. I found this fascinating reading this
yesterday on what is obviously a very morbid topic. And it is the speed
at which that the collapse of the submersible likely happened. And the speed is
much faster than your brain works, because the pressure at twelve thousand feet is
bonkers, obviously. So a couple of people have done a little analysis on
this, and including former Navy officials who have spoke out here we go this
is what I was looking for, And in it they document the fact that
the collapse, and I don't just mean a collapse like you're going to feel
it around you, but I mean a total collapse followed by an explosion that
would literally incinerate or eviscerate all parts of a human took place in a millisecond.
And I have seen estimates that say that the very fastest your brain can
process is five milliseconds ross. Would you say numbe was twenty five that you
read one hundred twenty five? The point is, whatever happened, they don't
even know, Like the people in there had no idea. And in a
strange way, I feel like if you'd have told families that three days ago
would have been slightly more comforting, I mean sarcastic here obviously would be a
lot more. Would you rather know that your family member died and probably didn't
even realize it, not even probably didn't realize it? Right? It's the
science here is they're done, they don't even don't exist. Or for three
days sitting there with a clock in front of you, going how much air
do they? Yeah? Because Marky and they were talking about this yesterday when
the story broke. You know of that obviously, you know they passed and
they the implosion actually hold on to the store. I'm sorry, didn't just
looked at the clock. I'm so screwed. All right, real quick,
we'll go right back to Ross, ken Boon, real quick. What you
got for weather, sir? Sorry to be late, no problem. Cloudy
and warm out there today. Showers and storms for us here today as we
finished out the business week, we're into the low eighties, but a drier
trend to the weather as we look towards the weekend, partly to mostly cloudy
overnight low sixties, and then as we headed to Saturday Sunday, a little
more sunshine mixes up with the cloud slight chance of storms tomorrow, mid eighties,
close to ninety with sunshine Sunday. All right, ken Boon, Thank
you, sir. We'll come back chat with Jeff Belinger and we'll finish Ross's
story next. Hang on, keeping you connected. This is ninety four five
WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, eight fifty four Jeff Bellinger, what's going on, sir?
Welcome morning, Casey. Stock market futures have been lower all Morning Dow futures
are down two hundred six points now. There was a partial rebound and consumer
spending last month, led by high income earners. Morning consult reports spending was
up a little more than six percent in May after declines in March and April.
Wealthier Americans were spending more on vacations and travel that offset cutbacks by those
with lower incomes. The risk of a recession has lessened in the view of
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. She says strength in the job market could be what
keeps the economy growing. The balance of power in the workplace is shifting.
It's not so much a worker's market anymore. Bosses are getting some of their
cloud back. Experts say employers have become choosier about who they hire, and
workers have turned more cautious when it comes to quitting. And the beef industry
had its competitive eye on the wrong prize Casey. It had been focusing on
plant based meat alternatives. Consumer interest in the products is fading, but chicken
is widening its lead over beef. The average American will lead about one hundred
pounds of chicken this year average beef consumption about half that amount. Casey,
did you see the story where like Elon Musk and Zuckerberg might cage fight?
Did you see? I did not? Who do you got? I don't
know. Musk seems bigger and more muscular, but who knows. Who do
you want to fight at Bloomberg? Like? I think you can take Stephanie
Rule and Tom Kane, but I don't know. Man, that's that's possible.
Okay, I don't want to fight my co workers. Okay, all
right, all right, you know, thank you sir, have a good
week. Okay, you have a nice weekend. Take all right? Look
at that? What do you think his? Uh? Ross? What do
you what do you think jeff skill set is crab McGaw, Brazilian jiu jitsu.
I think he's more a brawler. What do you do you think he
can crush the brick of your choosing Zack the demok I'm not sure? Oh
wow, okay, I imagine I'm doing the old timey boxer stance, you
know, yeah, yeah yeah, with the with the fists like up in
the air waving around. I'd be the best. Uh Anyway, who do
you want to fight in at the in the iHeart family anybody you, I
mean, that wouldn't go well for you. I know you pretty overweight I
am, but I would install. I would utilize what I am so poed
they're not utilizing in the whole Zuck Musk, how do you have those two?
For those of you don't know this story, and then we'll get back
to the sub real quick, here we go. Musk reacted to report from
Meta's Twitter rival. Apparently Meta chief product officer Chris Cox So the company has
been hearing from creators blah blah blah blah blah. Zuckerberg has been training in
Brazilian jiu jitsu for about a year. Did you see the video of him
getting choked out? Yeah, I've seen it. And the thing is like
Musk is like tired. I mentioned he's exhausted. You know, he's not
exactly in perfect physical shape and all right, but here's where they're dropping the
ball on this, and I think you're gonna greet him with me before we
fight. We can beat the undercard if you don't let these two use technology
to fight. What do you do You're thinking like Iron Man versus Batman?
Yes, wouldn't that make this a thousand times better. It's like, all
right, brainiacs, whatever you want to come up with, good to go
you. This would be the ultimate pay per view if you let them mech
right, I want to say, yeah, they're saying right now. Even
without the technology, it's like it would be like one hundred dollars pay per
view. Can you imagine you adding all like all the toys and stuff.
