All right, good morning everybody, and welcome Happy Wedness Day. That's how
it's called. What do you work? I just you know, it was
just binging on videos this morning. Depending on where you are, uh well,
I think basically everywhere within the sound of my voice, you're like,
wow, that was so wicked little storm that moved through. But in some
places, holy cow, did you see some of the videos out of Charlotte
with that car, Like there's one where there's this car just floating down the
creek and like, thankfully some folks were able to rescue the driver. But
you know, just and I don't know the store. I don't know if
it was one of those who like I could make it, if I just
go eighty eight miles an hour, I can get across. I don't know
locally or within the you know the more and then somebody was killed in Katawa
County try a triangle to I guess to a lesser degree, although there were
some areas where obviously there were big problems. I don't know if you saw
the picture from Florida the Panhandle there, so you got you know, how
we got the row really tight row beach houses, right, that's pretty typical
in North Carolina. Well, I'm down you know the Redneck Riviera too,
and you know they're on stilts essentially, right, That's fine, and that'll
get you above the water most times, but it'll also blow you over like
a domino. So I hope everyone is safe out there. If you got
any crazy weather stories, we'd be interested to hear that. Let's see here,
there's one other I was gonna mention to you ross you said there,
you're someone in your wife's family, like their mall was my sister in law
there in Covington, Georgia. It's the parking lot completely flooded of the mall.
Yeah, you're driving. You're driving, I think it's like I twenty
or something, and you're driving there and it goes down to there's like a
guardrail and then it sinks down where like the mall is like there's a ross
and there's a Michaels and stuff like that. So it's at like a slope
and the entire thing is flirted like it goes up to the guardrail. It's
crazy. A lot of elevation chained there. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. What will the way where nuisance kids do? The mall flooded man,
that sucks for them. I guess I'll have to go to school maybe,
although not today. In a lot of places, as there are a
generous amount of closings, both school, some government stuff, and some you
know. So basically, if you got like an appointment somewhere, you might
just give a little look see on the internets. Wouldn't be the worst thing.
I was surprised. I'm not knocking and I'm not gonna get it,
but I was surprised some of the closures I saw. I don't know if
they were preventative or there were individual incidents with some businesses. But we'll chat
with Ray stage coming up, so we will get into that all right.
Coming up on the show. In addition to that, we got Navajo news
and I'm inspired. I gotta tell you, I am inspired by this because
I didn't realize this is how it works. So this is gonna be it's
gonna be a big day. We've hatched a lot of schemes on this show.
They haven't all panned out. You know, it wasn't It wasn't that
long ago. Ross was sticking post its to squirrels. Right, try to
get that business up and running then, you know, we've offered to open
a consultancy many many days, I struck upon holding my own lottery. That
was fun. But now we're going big time with this story. I'll explain
what I mean by that coming up the Hunter Biden art insanity is exactly what
you thought it was. Those are not my words. Those are from literally
the guy dealing the paintings, which I'm surprised he said something that's a good
way not to be able to deal the paintings and at least get your little
share. But good on him, Good on him and Ross. We're gonna
have to get all you guys into witness protection or something. Man the attire
Bill's mafia from these violent, insane Miami fans. I don't know what's going
on with this. A Buffalo Bills fan was shot and killed near the Dolphin
Stadium right after the game. So I had not seen this. Fans shot
and killed after a confrontation near Hard Rock Stadium Sunday. The fan, identified
as thirty year old Dylan Isaacs, was walking through postgame traffic with friends when
he got you know, they're staid of walking through their cars or moving.
I guess he got bumped by a car. Isaacs and his friends chased down
the car, at which point a fan, an opposing fan, and others.
I guess the brothers in the car one of them got out and shot
the dude. Now again, I don't know necessarily what prompted it. I
wonder if they're not telling a story about how they didn't They just thought it
was a crazy person trying to get them. But they have to know they
hit him, because they knocked them over according to witnesses. So just absolutely
tasteless. Who does this, man, I'm telling you that division you're in,
Ross, there's some there's some sketchy folks running up in that division.
For you know, murdering tight ends to this some fan who just doesn't want
to get run over, leaving and somebody who's angry responding. But yeah,
so that's and I was trying to look this up. Ross. Has a
Bills fan ever murdered an opposing fan that you know of? Has that ever
been a thing. I don't think it's happened. I don't know. I
would hope not. I mean, we don't have time to check the entirety.
Just during the Josh Allen era that I no, Okay, I didn't
see this with the Vikings either. It took like two seconds after they heard
that this happened, the Bills fandom to like, you know, start to
go fund me for the guy's family, Like yeah, yeah, go fund
me to raise money to bring Isaac's body back to He's actually Canadian. He
lives just across the border there. Uh and uh. Even Tyreek Hill,
the Dolphins wide receiver, commented saying football is supposed to bring us together,
not divide us. Remember that part. I don't know how effective that was,
but that was a little bit of something. So oh man, there
you go. And and by the way, you don't want to mess with
Bills fans. They'll literally they'll light you on fire. Man. Is that
what you want? You get three drunk Bills fans and from a tailgate,
and they can turn whatever structure you're into the prom scene from. It's a
special knowledge they possess, so probably not a smart thing to do, all
right, So we'll get that. Yes, we got to talk about Ray
Apps and I don't want to do it. I don't because they still fail
to understand what the hell is going on. But that tunnel story is still
in the news and it's creating some really strange scenarios because of course the entire
story is going to be injected with very strong opinions with the Jewish community,
but also really creepy, like you know, found footage horror movie style video
that we see of them walking through the tunnels there what blew me away.
In fact, I even texted to Ross yesterday. You know the chick who
runs libs for libs of TikTok with Chaya Chaia. I can't I don't know
how to pronounce her first name, but remember she's public now, so on
the twitters obviously we follow libs of TikTok on the show account, but also
follow her, if only to document all the ways in which they're trying to
They were coming after this woman for reposting videos that other people posted. She
tweeted this out. I don't know if she's being held hostage or what's going
on. Man. The disgraced teens who dug underneath a well respected synagogue did
so on their own after being explicitly told not to. They went against synagogue
leadership. Gen z He was taught that nothing is more important than their feelings,
and now they're emboldened to act entitled and spoiled with zero regard or respect
for others. We keep seeing this time and time again in our institutions.
We must fix the broken education system. The future of our country depends on
it. So I was a pretty industrious kid, teenager whatever, right,
you know, I really didn't sit around and you know, just hiding my
room. I was out and about doing stuff. That's a I guess,
part and parcel of growing up there, and me and my buddies did some
stuff. Not gonna lie. Of course, we had access to heavy equipment
too, so tends to get easier. But you're not gonna convince me a
couple of kids dug those tunnels. I mean what or even I mean,
it's extensive. So the narrative, the narrative, the response from the from
the synagogue, from the leadership there is they're like interlopers who were told that
they couldn't come into the synagogue, so they dug their way in or something
like. I said, the whole thing's weird, and I saw the entire
Twitter Twitter sphere, Twitter verse turn on the libs of TikTok Chick because nobody's
believing that a couple couple teenagers with a little extra time built rambo tunnels like
they're Andy Dufrain with a little pickammer, like a little rock cammer, those
like elaborate tunnels. Man. And it only took him six months, right,
Andy dufrayin right, it took him a few years, a little longer
than it's a rock hammer, I mean, what could you do with a
rock camera though? Right? Yeah, that's like I said, I still
have no idea what's going on. I just want I just want an explanation
that makes some sense, and I feel like we've yet to uh receive that.
And if it is if you have like rogue, if you have a
rogue group of people who really want to go worship but you won't let them,
and they so want to worship that they're digging secret entrances into the synagogue,
that's a crazy story in and of itself. Hey, what's the give
us some backstory on that. But yeah, that didn't work, and so
just I mean that's the update. I wish I had some more for you,
but you get the gist. And once again, I'm a genius with
my travel scheduling. I'll explain coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program.
Keeping you connected. This is ninety four f WPTI in the Triad and
one six one FM Talk and the Triangle. Well, well, good morning
six twenty five. I hope you didn't want to go to Ecuador, which
you should. I had a really good time, but I feel like your
experience would be different now after the largest criminal organization apparently decided to start seizing
control of stuff yesterday, and I'm talking including going into the you know,
the big it would be a kin to like rolling into CNN where a bunch
of a bunch a bunch of cartel really isn't the right word for it,
but it's just the criminal organization there, their version of the cartel. But
it's it's it's not just about drugs or stuff. It's about a lot more
than that. And the head, you know, the main crime head,
was incarcerated and somehow was able to make his escape. That is crazy.
I guess he he had the he had the l chapos skills or an ungodly
sum of money in the loyal army of individuals, and he got out.
And then the president Ecuador is like, we've got to do something. And
then his henchmen started like literally taking over stuff, including mid broadcast on what
is their their big nationwide news network, just rolled right in held him at
gunpoint. You see one of the male anchors breaking down and everybody else laying
face down, threatening to you know, they're putting guns to their head.
In other places, there were other facilities and government workers who were taking hostage.
They they say that some were executed. So that's not going well down
there at all. And so just you know, be aware. I don't
know how it impacts everybody, but just more law lessness, uh, sweeping
over other places that used to be uh, you know, people used to
go to Venezuela. It was beautiful, man. I'm glad I turned down
that gig. I'm sure it was. Yeah. They offered me one hundred
thousand pesos. One hundred thousand pesos I turned it down. Was really oh
man, that sounds like dude. I mean that would stress me out.
I gets stressed out over station meetings, let alone that like couch money you're
dealing with. I'm trying to think what the Ecuadorian is if if it was,
if that was in Colombia, because I remember that's where I took a
because you spend Ecuador. I was spending dollars. Uh, Columbia, you
kind of can. But I remember I went to when I got off the
airplane in Colombia before we went to Guatapay, which is very beautiful, absolutely
one of the coolest place has ever been. I hit the ATM so I
had cash and uh it limit on the ATM was two million pesos. Oh
my god, you fell like a king punching that number in. Is something
bad that it's like five hundred bucks. Yeah, Rosser was gonna be the
voice of Ecuador. He turned it down. That's a good thing you did,
and you'd be face down prone with a gun in the back of your
head. No olive garden there, man, I think there is actually anyway.
All right, this is Casey O Day and Carolina's Corning News. All
right, welcome back six thirty five here on the k c O Day radio
program. All right, So, yeah, I was just looking at the
list here of all this insanity down in Ecuador. This is TV station.
A bunch of police officers. Uh, they're describing the escape as he quote
disappeared, which I guess means that I'm sure guard just kind of walked him
out for the right amount of money this, uh, this feto this crime
lord there so, uh what is it the leader of the lost ChIL Naro's
gang. Well, that's fun so ChIL Naros is uh whether there's a city
there. But also it's like kind of means like macho man or men in
in the way that it's slang used. So your namey, you're gay,
is wacho man? What has Randy Savage been up to? Man? I
mean that explains the purple dow rags. I mean yeah they were. I
mean some are rare do rags. Yes, that's so there's that, I
guess. So if if like twenty Randy Savages storing the station, are you
giving up or you get a you get a fight? Man? At at
that point, I'm joining, oh really get gets you a do rag?
Just don't even look at miss Eliza though, because they get pissed off.
Oh yeah, don't do it. Yeah, don't do that. Yeah,
you jumped in and then jumped right out of the gang doing that and it's
probably not pleasant. So yeah, that is just that is a mess down
there. And the video is just crazy. They were in the TV station,
they had like sticks of dynamite or what they were saying were sitting.
I mean, I don't maybe they were, maybe they weren't. And they
were like they were taking turns taking it and like putting it in like the
front shirt pocket of the hostages with like the wick sticking in their face and
then flicking a lighter near there. So yeah, they were going for full
uh uh, just criminal pieces of garbage. All right, let me grab
a call here, sarge. What's up? Yeah, Brooklyn Western Avenue in
Eastern Parkway, the old Brooklyn Jewish Center, the largest synagogue in the world.
Eastern Parkway going going south from Eastern Parkway is solid now solid Hasidic Jews
in single family attached houses. Eastern Parkway is solid Jewish Hasids. These people
walk to it and from their services. They can They could remove any amount
of material, just like the way ants move build giant ant hills. They
are there. You could not imagine how many people there must be. Five
thousand members of people and any given meeting at the synagogue, no, no,
no, intimately familiar women. I went to Junior High School down a
few blocks from there, going towards Bedsty going north in Bedford Stuyvesant. On
Jewish holidays, I was the only white boy in the school, all the
Jewish kids even then, this is in the nineteen fifties. Since then,
a change from being conservative Jews, which are regular people, to have seeded
Jews who are fanatical or I don't want to run them down, but anyway,
they're really they're Orthodox Orthodox. They would do anything that they're told to
do by their rabbi. They would take a pocket book full of dirt to
their attached private house down the street because they walk. They have to walk
to services. They're not allowed to drive anyway. So they said, wow,
how much could they take? Take five thousand people? Let them take
one cubic foot of an hour? Who knows? Anyways, Susser hanging hang
on here there, but sorry, some other story. They are okay,
okay, all right, all right, yeah, no, no, no,
I'm oh yeah, I mean I am here. I can go on
and on and tell you everything you want to know about the Central Synagogue.
But you know I'm telling you they are They built those tunnels in their cooperative
effort. They would they will never tell you the truth. Uh. They
are committed. They are fanatical, they are self protective. And if you
drove down Eastern Parkway and go down Nostern Avenue, President Street, Union Street.
Go down and take a look at the neighborhood. Casey, if you
want to know anything about it, my wife will send you an email.
Okay. Well, no, no, And here's the thing that went out.
I am a Methodist. Okay, Well, why did you guys have
that big woodschipper? Why did you guys have that big wood schipper at your
church? Because the Methodists actually have the best disaster relief effort of any denomination,
of any people, and they took care of all the people in eastern
North Carolina that were destroyed by that and they sent the first Methodist church in
Wilson sent cruise down to Katrina. Eastern North Carolina had a bad hurricane.
They were still working out there two years later. Okay, And you can
make front of Methodists if you want. They're not making making fun of I'm
not even making fun I wonder why there is a twenty thousand dollars wood chipper
that got stolen from a Methodist church, because I think it's funny, not
that it got stolen, but just theudi you asked me why they had it.
I'm telling you to reason. Okay, all right, well, no,
and here's the thing. But the thing going back to New York is
it's just I found it so weird because kind of that's what the synagogue is
saying. They're saying some more radical or fanatical offshoot that wasn't allowed to go.
There was the one who dug the tunnels. And then the woman on
Twitter said it was board Kids, and I'm like, I don't know what
I'm telling you. What's what? Yeah, Mark, phone's going dead,
So I go, okay, I got it going, all right, Okay,
all right, I'll tell you again. Okay, looking forward to it.
Thank you. So that's solved. I guess, right, I don't
know. I mean I don't know. So like somewhere in between two board
kids and five thousand members of a synagogue with each having pockets full of dirt
like Andy Dufrain, somewhere in the middle lives of the truth probably, and
I just I don't know what it is. So that's that's why we gave
you the update there. All right, let me, well, let me
do this just because I need to pivot into something else and it'll be a
smoother transition if we just go ahead and hit the brake. So we'll do
that. Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Hang
on Best Show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey
O Day for the podcast on the iHeart radio app. Did you put that
video on the show account? That was on your personal movie? It's my
personal and I quote tweeted, I'll retweet in the show account. Yeah,
retweeted on the show. So I supposed to this video and when you watch
the video, you're gonna come to the same conclusion that he did. But
I thought it was funny. So I actually sent the video to a couple
buddies that I've made over the years in in Costa Rica, who are their
Costa Ricans, and they were in the In the video, it's some idiot
tourist who's out hiking around like the middle of nowhere Columbia, like the remote
section of Columbia, which is very sparsely populated as you get down and head
towards the southwest. I didn't go down there, but some people do,
like you know, people making drugs, because that's basically where so much of
that goes on. And in the video, I that's got to be a
woman just with the emoji use in the way that but I'm speculating so and
it's in English, so maybe she's an American tourist. I don't know.
But she sees this small plane coming in right over the tree tops, I
mean us, right over the te tops, tree tops, and then make
this real quick dive into this dirt runway that's just there in the middle of
nowhere. And what does she do. She starts filming it. She puts
it on the internet. I'm sad people have zero situational awareness. But I
sent it to my I sent it my buddies just because I'm like, you
were you grew up in Central America. They were both like, yeah,
that's that's the dumbest woman I've ever seen. That person is probably so dead
like and the super incredibly rare, rare occurrence that I'm you know, hiking
in the jungle in Columbia right right, and then I see like a little
small puddle jumper plane come through above the tree line and land on a makeshift
dirt runway. Right as soon as I see that little wouldn't have tried to
land. I have seen no country for old men. I know about Anton
Sugar, right, what I am going to do At that point, I
see the point in coming in. I put my hands over my eyes.
I run the opposite direction, screaming, I don't see nothing. I don't
see nothing. And the last thing on a tree or a snake. Last
thing I do is post it on the internet. They see your account that
has your photos your oh man, this is how, this is how this
happens. This is how idiots abroad. Man right there. But yeah,
if you see now, I understand that a plane's got to get load of
land. And if you see then it sits down this valley. But it's
clear that the plane is unnecessarily close to the tree tops well on approach,
and we don't see what happened before, may have been flying like that.
Here's a little here's a little fun fact. Do you know why a plane
might fly at that altitude unnecessarily and actually a dangerous manner because radar, Man,
they don't want they don't want to get popped by the by the authorities
figuring out what they're doing there. So yeah, the film in that,
that's great. Well, we'll tweet the video, Russ sweeten the video out.
It's the dumbest thing ever, all right, So check this out.
Yesterday we told you that a massive space burial kind of is uh is going
to be happening as part of the mission to head back to the Moon,
which apparently now has been pushed back to twenty twenty six. That news breaking
yesterday. But three hundred and thirty people. It's not actual bodies per se,
but it is portions of it, and they're on these little capsules in
it like suitcase. It's very future looking, and so they were ceremonially going
to essentially transport these these remains, these DNA and they're and they're the DNA
is sealed in there, so it's but it's still good to go. I
guess if aliens wanted to clone George Washington and then you know, invade us
while we're conflicted about fighting back against the first president. But they were gonna
they were gonna drop these canisters on the Moon, and Gene Roddenberry's in there,
several uh several Star Trek actors JFK part of his remains George Washington,
and uh, now there's an objection. The Navajo Nation has officially asked NASA
to scrap the plan, saying the Moon is a sacred space and leaving human
remains on the moon would turn it in from in from a religious site for
the Navajo into a waste site. So they would ask you not to not
to do? Is that how that works? Ross? How long? How
long have you known me? Ten years? Right? According to the promo?
Ten years? Be right? Yeah, or maybe a little more.
You'll you'll testify in court that uh the whole time. I've always been a
sun worship do you own? Shut up about it? I love the sun.
Man got I got sun bling, send him sung memes. It's crazy
anyway, So that's mine. Did you want to use it? Do you
want to use the sun at all? Or I mean, if you want
to lend it to me to be great? Ah lend. I mean I'm
a fan of the sun and like the vitamin D. How about a sun
licensed a small month? Oh? Good point? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
yet it that's the way I mean, if if anyone's gonna if anyone's
gonna own the moon, shouldn't it be like the country that went up there
and put a flag on it and said that you know, hey, we've
been here. Or is it just the old rule of claims that claimed it's
my Yeah? It's like when you're when you let's say, like a bunch
of your bunch you're leaving. You're all about to get in a car,
and you say shotgun before you get to the car. That's your seat,
right right. I saw the seat first, I saw the moon first.
It's mine claimed. So anyway about that Sun subscription, if you buy twelve
months, there's a thirty three percent discount on the Sun subscription. So I
want to get on that. What if? Well, but by the way,
what if the Navajo did what if? Like the what's the what if
the onon Naki took one of them up there for a for a fly by
or something. Should they be penalized because they didn't actually have a flag if
they're no, I mean that's how it should work, though, Like it
should be ours because we went up there and put a flag on it.
And I've been saying that forever. We should have a Moon base up there
by now. But the only way that doesn't count is if if you go
up there, we put our flag up there and suddenly, like you know,
they make themselves known, Hey, this is we live here, we
are the Moon people. Well, then you have to have a war to
conquer it, so it could be there. If there's somebody living up there,
you're a colonized they did there. Yeah. But here's the flip side
of this. If I know anything, it's that when it comes to Native
American reverence for anything having to do with burial sites, whether in this case
it's one they want or they don't, generally you shouldn't screw around in that
realm, you know what I mean. Like, there's been a few Native
American burial sites that have come up in pop culture, and it never seems
to end well well at first because you're like, oh, I'm a cat's
back, but your cat's not back, not really, neither's your kid.
And also why would you build a whole housing development on it? Like you
see all these problems, Like do we want the first crew returning to the
Moon to have to deal with space pulturegeist? I don't think so. No,
you don't want to curse. I mean, there's space is already ready
to kill you at any moment with one mistake. Right now, you're gonna
have space poultry. Guys like who keeps opening the airlock? Well, if
it was you on there, I would say Ross is doing it because that's
how he he does to people he didn't like. But but you're not gonna
be there, so space poultry guys, that's dangerous. Man. You're just
in there trying to you know, eat your rations or whatever. And space
poultry guys, you're messing with the thing. You don't want that. So
I don't know what they're gonna do. But JFK and George Washington may not
end up on the moon because apparently the White House is taking it very seriously.
And by the way, just so you're just so we're clear, the
Navajo believe that they members of the tribe did go to the moon at some
point, so that ad Anaki thing that literally kind of plays into it when
you watch the ancient alien stuff. So so I don't know. Maybe they
could be like a YouTube comment or and this is their version of but AnyWho,
all right, two more hours to go, hang on back, all
right, good morning, and welcome. It is our number two here on
your Wednesday morning. We'll get a chance to chat with Race Stagic coming up.
That's that's gonna be pretty important because I guess unless you're in your fallout
bunker with everything sealed, a little bit of weather out there, and depending
on where you are, it was it was really bad. Multiple deaths.
One here in North Carolina and Cataba County. It looked like the real heavy
flooding was down around Charlotte. There's some crazy videos of people just floating by
in their car because I don't they you know, they decide, hey,
I can make it, and rushing stream now you can't. And thankfully others
were able to rescue them. But down in Florida you had like beach row
houses like tipped over like dominoes into each other. Rossa's wife's relative. Their
whole mall was, it's a new swimming pool. I have to assume that's
down in Georgia. There's bass boats on it already. They do like the
bass boats down there on those reservoirs. But yeah, it was, it
was bad. The good storm indicator at the radio station is the last little
like two hundred yards on smoke Tree Court, which is just the you know,
the little stub road that the station sits on the end of. And
since it's in high woods, there's lots of trees around, so it's like
it's like the branch count like how bad it is. It's like, oh,
there's some twigs, or there's decent sized branches, or oh my god,
that's a tree. How am I going to get in? There?
Is really the scale? Ross had to get out and move branches this morning.
Do you get a chainsaw out and go all lumberjack? Or no?
I did it with the sheer power and force? Oh did you okay?
You made it sound like a really big branch. I didn't see the one
you made. It was normally a drive over. I'm like, what the
hell is this about? Right right? Yeah? Yeah? So but if
you guys got any crazy weather stories, please by all means eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four All right, let me grab a phone
call on that lunatic tourist filming what straight up looked like Narco planes making remote
landings in the jungles of Columbia. Because that's smart, Paul. What's from
nineteen eighty to eighty six, I had reason to work in Sinaloa, Mexico,
and back in the border was a lot softer than it is today,
and I was able to go in and out of Mexico pitching rides on private
aircraft. And one time I was waiting to meet a politician who was coming
back to Mexico from Arizona. And I was on this dirt airport, dirt
airstrip, had no idea really where I was in relation to the town.
And I had a guy there with me watching over me, and our ride
wasn't showing up. Our meeting was a showing up. And then all of
a sudden, this stretch limo roars onto the airstrip, dust everywhere, followed
by a school bus full of Bonda musicians. A bunch of drunken Mexicans pile
out and started whipping it up. And I look at my guy and I
said, you know, oh my god, we've stumbled into some kind of
a drug deal here. Wait. You know, why why do you think
it's a drug deal? Because a bunch of guys are having a fiesta and
they got musicians and it sounds like a party, sir. Well, in
that part of Mexico, I was accustomed to being around the cartel, let's
put it that way, but never out in the boonies in town, where
they tended to behave themselves as long as you left the bar when they came
in. But anyway, the uh, Eventually these guys noticed that we were
like up on this little hill or we're looking the airstrip, and uh,
they don't like that a little bit. Yeah, the main dude wanders up
and says, you know, what's going on? Where do you guys doing
it? And my guy, my handler, he explains to him, well,
you know, this is Paul Bush. He's he's he's a journalist from
the States, and he's he's here, he's waiting to meet someone. And
the guys said, journalists from the States. From from where? And he
asked me, and I said, Orange County, California. And he says,
oh, I have two stores there, and he said, what do
you mean and he hands over his card and he's the founder and president of
l poo what And they were having a birthday party and you almost missed down
in an I love Elo. It was great back then. Well anyway,
we we chatted. I learned his story, a great story at parallels Carl
Carter's story. Carl's junior and I have this business, had this business card
and on the back of it it said, good for two free poyoloco.
Your head was going to get in the cooler and instead you got free chicken
tacos. Well, when I eventually got home. I said to my wife,
come on, we're going to go into Santa Ana and get some Poyo
loco. And we go into the little poyoloco there. You know, there
is not a big chain back in those days. I hand over the card
and I swear the young lady in a little uniform hind the counter. She
almost starts trembling when she sees it. It was like Gus Fring had signed
that card. And you know, if I've never forgotten that that I can't
figure And I always wanted to write the story because the parallels were so amazing.
But he eventually to figure out the totality of it. So like you,
you assume that they were up to no good. Then you get the
card and you're like, ah, but then the woman's trembling, So does
that mean she she liked because it wouldn't you know, wouldn't put it past
criminals to also have other businesses that they run money through. You probably have
heard of this or so I'm trying to figure out. I don't conclusion.
I don't think this guy was dirty at all, because in Mexico is probably
a little bit of it. If you're doing that well yeah, maybe,
but I but I also know that back in those days, entrepreneurial founders made
a point, you know, whether US or Mexican, to meet all their
employees and everything. And he'd probably been up, you know, to meet
him. And you know, back in those days, if you got a
job with a if you were in Mexico and you got a job with a
company where they provided you with a uniform and an identity, it was it
was a big deal. And for me to have his card meant that I
must be very important. I think that's all it was to it. I
never had a hint that there was any actual drugs involved. But as far
as why was I concerned, well, it was the eighties. The reason
why I quit going there for work is I got a call from one of
my contacts who was a dual citizen, and he said, Paul, where
I'm moving my family up from Mexico. You need to know it's not safe
to go into Sina Loo anymore. And this was right after the enery K
Camarina killing for the DEA agent. I believe he was, so you know,
it was an edgy time and but you got free chicken tacosirs. I
mean even when Denny's took him over, it was still good food. I
don't even know if they still exist. I don't know, but I remember
because I didn't know about him, and he has a kid grown up Wyoming
obviously. But when I got Southern California for for for college, I was
introduced to Loco and in and Out Burgers, and I was in heaven.
Man. But you went to school in southern California. Yeah, Santa Barbara,
Oh wow, yeah, all right, Paul, I gotta go do
this show. No, that's great. Like imagine the range of emotions,
because you know, and people would go, well, you're profiling? Are
you eighties remote airstrip? Are you profiling? You see a dude with U
just a ton of bunch of people rolling, rolling in a vehicle that would
get stolen in most instances, but probably doesn't in this case. Remember they
tried to napped George Norri down in Mexico when he went down to do an
event in Mexico City. I only know this because he came. We did
an event years ago in Greensboro. George Norri came here and so i'm i'm,
I'm I drive from Raleigh to Greensboro. And then Norri flies in literally
get him at the airport, and we were both saying the same hotel for
the event, and then all of a sudden it was that it was a
giant snowstorm about seven years ago, maybe six seven years ago, and like
we couldn't go anywhere and everything was closed, and so it's like George Norri
and me and the hotel is full because there's power outages everywhere, so people
are moving over into there and it's just like so we had we had like
a couple day and a half or whatever until he could finally get out of
there, and he just telling me these stories like that. Ah, I
tell you I was in Mexico and almost got kidnapped, you know, for
the ransom kidnaps. So yeah, I mean remote Airstrip eighties, I too
would be wondering. But free chicken Tacos is a hell of a final act,
all right. Seven sixteen k COOT Radio program Hang On, Thank You
KSE is on ninety four to five w pt I on the Triad and one
six one FM Talk in the Triangle. You know, I get I get
the frustration that people feel, and I understand too the motivation here a little,
although I don't know. Yeah, I think you have to understate.
We're very easy and I'm guilty of it sometimes of not just stopping for a
moment to kind of look at it and analyze, right, because you have
an emotional reaction to stuff. And I feel like people are being a little
unfair on this Kaitlin Clark stories. Do you know who Caitlyn Clark is?
So Caitlin Clark is a female basketball player, and she played for Iowa and
she was the best. And so now that she enters the w NBA draft,
even if you don't care about w NBA, there is an expectation that
she is probably going to be the most sought after recruit in in forever right
And as a result, she's already got all these endorsement deals. And a
story broke that they were doing it. They're doing a breakfast cereal for her,
and I don't know why the breakfast cereal is the gatekeeper, but people
were getting like, Ah, you're not, Jordan, You're not. I
think Mahomes has a breakfast cereal. Doesn't Josh Allen have one? Didn't Somebody
send us a picture from the grocery store where they had all the Weans,
that's right, and that was Wegmans in Bralligh. Those are the Josh Jacks.
Josh I think you go so anyway, so anyway. So they're giving
her a breakfast cereal and people are all mad about it because oh they're doing
it because they're well, I don't know about that. You have to understand
that the person doing the company doing the cereal is high v. Do you
know what hive is. It's a grocery store in Iowa and Minnesota. It's
a Midwestern grocery store. And in the same way that people go absolutely out
of their gord if they're into college sports for you know, teams around here
in Iowa. I'm saying this, and I don't mean to be in I'm
not saying this to be an insensitive jerk. It's the reality on the ground.
Having lived in the Midwest, less so in Minnesota, but very much
so in Iowa and Nebraska and a handful of other places. Iowa Nebraska are
the big ones. Do you know what happens when the team has a game?
Ross knows what happens. He lived in Omaha. He's seen this in
action. Uh, Nebraska, I've lived in a lot of places, right,
New Work, Yeah, on the coast eastern Carolina, Salt Lake.
I lived in Georgia. Right, They're big Bulldog fans there. I've obviously
lived here now for seventeen eighteen years. I'm well aware that people are very
fanatical about their certain college teams, whether it be State, Duke or Carolina.
I've never lived anywhere in wake Forest. I've never lived anywhere that is
so crazy about college football. Then Omaha, Nebraska and Lincoln. Yes,
you've never seen anything like it. I remember driving around on a Saturday when
I first got there, and I was pretty young. I was like twenty
twenty one years old, and there was no one on the roads. The
weather was beginning to stand right, there was there was no snow. It
wasn't like the you know, typical Nebraska winter. It wasn't. It was
fine road conditioned roads. There was no one on them. I went into
the supermarket. I can't remember what it was called at the time, but
their version of food line or whatever. I walked in there and it was
empty, and playing on the speakers in the grocery store was the Huskers game.
For the two schmucks who had to work, Yeah, yeah, and
I went into another store, They're playing the game over the loudspeaker, and
I every every girl that I dated there when I was at a relationship or
when I would go over to a to a friend's house, the basement of
the family home would be the colors of the Huskers and would be just that
would be the theme of the room. Every I would say, Satan's look
like Satan. Yeah, yeah, red, white, and black, right,
And I would say, uh, probably, like at least at least
as a minimum, one out of every three homes their basement is just has
a Husker theme to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
never seen anything like it. So the fact that she is she came out
of Iowa, obviously, you see how it is there, and it's a
regional grocery store that covers primarily Iowa. That I don't think that's I think
there's there's lots of woke and stupid nonsense to get to. I don't know
if this is it. This is what I'm saying, because they get crazy.
Did you didn't not? Did Nebraska just set the record for highest attendance
in a volleyball game, right with the corn Huskers playing in the football stadium,
and it was full. You know what the funny thing is, there's
a stat which I'm sure it still holds, but I have looked this up.
But I mean, like a decade ago, this was the this was
the stat at lest I'm pretty sure it would still hold. The most populated
area in all of Nebraska on on game day is the stadium. There's a
lot of people in the stadium right than like any given city in Nebraska.
Yeah, Wyoming, Wyoming, same deal. The stadium, the stadium for
the Cowboys is the largest city in in Nebraska, excuse me, in Wyoming
during the game. Which that's that's crazy, man, But that's what it
is. So yeah, I don't know about that. You want something to
be angry about, Look at what happened up in New York. Do you
see what they're doing. Remember how we were promised that remote learning was this.
They this They didn't want to do it, They never want to do
it again. But these were such extreme conditions. They had no other choice.
They had no other choice. And by the way, uh you know,
they they'll even maybe even now finally admit that maybe it's not the best
environment for your kid, or at the very least for a lot of kids.
I'm sure some kids maybe do better because people are different. But well,
New York apparently they found another emergency reason and parents are absolutely losing their
minds as they're doing remote learning for I guess one of the reasons that we
failed to discuss the first time we discussed this. So I'll tell you what
New York's up to coming up. Aco Day Radio program. This is one
six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk NPTI Triad. Now,
Oh this is uh that looks awful. One of our one of our listeners
from up were you in, sir you Jefferson West, Jefferson area up there?
Well, anyway, just sent me a little video of the w Taga
River and that thing's that thing? Was? That thing looked like the Colorado
Man. Yeah, a lot of rain, depending on where you are,
a lot a lot of rain. Continue to see stories from Charlotte. Also
locally, Uh, storm damage, there's some I had a three minute power
outage. I guess I wasn't in my house when it happened, but I
got the text from Duke. They're like, ah, there's a power outage,
and then three minutes later like everything's fine. We fixed it, but
I don't know because I was I wasn't there at the time. So but
yeah, so we'll get we'll dive into that a little more. Coming up
here in just about seven minutes, raced Agic from the Weather Channel. He'll
join us, but first before we do that, we gotta get a double
dose as stupid. So well, why not Florida then Florida Man? Is
something in the water they er or Sam that they should do all that crazy
crap. It's like the state is wanta be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else
has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the weird factor climbs and
you find out it haven't in Florida every time. Florida then Florida Man.
If anyone can jeer me, if you know you can just mind life be
crazy. But of course, but it's not. It's pad crap crazy as
yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it
they don't find him. Hooray for Florida. Then Florida Man. In this
case thirty eight year old Steve Nerdon. Where is this near tamp Yeah,
Penelas County, so Tampa area. Please received a report of an assault in
progress. According to the victim, Nerdin became enraged after they had a disagreement
during a an intimate moment catch my a drift, and apparently retrieved a weapon
and started assaulting the woman, punching her in the left eye, also shoving
the weapon in her mouth, attempting to choke her, and I guess split
her lip trying to do it. So that's now, you goll casey,
why are you doing this story? That sounds horrible and it is horrible,
right, But let me give you the context, not that it'll make it
okay, but it will make it slightly more interesting. According to the report
of give it the statement given by the victim, so she readily admits this
is what she said. It was around one in the morning. The two
were getting to know each other in that most intimate of ways, and at
some point things weren't going well, and she quote started laughing and suggested that
he get ed medication, which is cold man right like so in this case,
according to the victim, after she made this suggestion and laughed at him
and also commented on specific ratings of what he's you get it right, The
report goes on to state that and went to a shelf behind some books and
retrieved a giant pink adult item and that was what he beat her with and
attempted to choke her with. And eventually he was arrested for domestic battery obviously
first degree, and he's being held on bond there. But yeah, like
none of that should have happened. But I'm also like, why would you
think that's a good I guess I don't know how drunk they were. It
looks like there was a little bit of alcohol going on there, and dude
had priors and she knew him, so like she knew what was that He's
he's got some angry issues there. So anyway, there you go. That's
that's Florida man doing his thing for the next Florida style story. Though,
speaking of the Wataga River, I don't have to go far. We go
to a Taga County is it crazy story? Apparently police police up in Boone
have we're arresting a woman. Here we go, the thirty two year old
woman was arrested for an alleged assault. Let's see, I guess she got
into a she got into a scrap down about down by the bars. That's
weird how that happens. They're in Boone, they arrested for assault and according
to the the Boone Police Department, she was placed in a squad car and
then by the time they went to transport her, they looked back there and
she had chewed through the back seat like a like a squirrel man. She
che The problem is, you can't it like the back seats in a squad
car. I don't know exactly how they're built, but something tells me they
don't have a pass through for obvious reasons. So I at that point,
I guess, what are you just to? You just hit the metal of
the trunk. She didn't get out, but she did get a head size
hole chewed into the back of the squad car. So yeah, she's facing
not just obviously the assault charges, but you know then you get additional charges
based on the incident. I'm not reading the last line of this story.
I know this is what Ross is patiently waiting as he sees me going through
this story and working down through the story. No, I'm just staring at
you through the studio mont here. I'm fascinated by the story, are you
yeah? Is that enough? Should I be done with the story or do
you want me to finish the story as it's written here. I mean,
it depends do you want to be you know, do you want half asset
or do you want to be you know one hundred so many people can trust.
Yeah, well I've been. Now I'm having issues because I read this
story yesterday when I sent it for prep and I don't remember this part.
But allow me. The damage was discovered out of the suspect anyway, the
suspect was being processed. Quote, it's an unfortunate situation. I'm sure she
regrets putting herself in that position where she's quote eating the back of a police
car. Now that everything is calm. That according to Sergeant O'Neill, who
said that standing atop the boone Big Beer, the triple be the boon,
big beer, big beer, boon. Are you so she just wanted something
to eat? Can you imagine if they were to put a Bucky's right at
the base of the big boom beer, your boon, big beer, whatever
your fake thing is. You know, we were talking about the Husker Stadium,
the most populated area in the state at that point in time. When
you know the same thing South Carolina, the BUCkies. Well, anyway,
we got stage at yet because we've got a lot to digest, so let
me know if he's there. So some chick tried to eat her way out
of a cop car, which you can't do. Just for future reference,
you're still on the BUCkies thing too, Huh. Well it's you know BUCkies
were Do you understand the process they tried to get a because initially they wanted
it, and the little snobs over in Chapel Hill they wouldn't let him put
it over in their county because they're like, ew petroleum products, damn.
And then they're like and then they went to a more reasonable group of individuals
in Alamance County, And now we're here and Sharky's is coming. So yeah,
I couldn't get a mention, all right, man, So I'm looking
I'm looking at So we got some spy videos and stuff coming in. Uh.
The Wachaga River looks like the Colorado during the melt. That's crazy.
I saw video of Charlotte of them having to rescue people because they were in
a car and they're like, I can just hyder a plane across the top
of that puddle, no problem. You got to hit eighty eight folks,
you gotta hit eighty eight miles an hour, and then you need one rock,
You need one point twenty one jigawats and just remember, yeah, I
mean rivers are high. And uh, that's why we say don't cross water
covered roadways because six inches of water will knock you down. I don't know
how much it is, it's more than six inches, but more than six
inches will carry your car away. And you know, looking at the river
gauges to the north, the flat river below Lake Mitchie is just coming down
from major flood stage and most of the Aria rivers now are at or below
moderate to major flood stage one three four inches of rain. That was a
range and even the severe weather. Don't have any confirmed tornado reports, but
there were some tornado warnings yesterday and unfortunately in the state of fatality from severe
weather. The problem or the issue here now is that although I have a
couple of dry days in the let's just say lower mid fifties, lows near
freeze, there is more rain and thunder coming Friday into Friday night, Friday
afternoon, Friday night, and I don't know how quickly these rivers are going
to receid down below even minor or moderate flood stage because we may have more
heavy rain, not as much as this event, but there's thunderstorms and there's
another slight to enhance the risk of severe weather. Again, the dynamics for
severe are all the same wind profiles. There's sheer, not only speed heer,
but directional shear. There's instability and cape convective available potential energy. I'd
not to get into too many meteorological terms. I'm sorry. Well, yeah,
I know I did that somewhere else today too, and they are kind
of like what huh, what you need to know is that now I can't
even talk about it. There is a severe weather risky yeah, Friday.
There's a heavy rain risk Friday. And I wouldn't be so animated about the
flood risk if we didn't just get all this rain because the ground is going
to be saturated. And then early next week now not at all clearing shelves
yet although it's gonna happen. What are you doing? There's a chance.
There's a chance, is all I'm saying. Some of us could see some
snowflakes sometime Monday night and Tuesday, especially early on Tuesday morning. Especially Wes,
especially with elevation. But I will say this, there's our best shot
so far this winter and the Triad and the Triangle. If you haven't seen
any snow showers to potentially get snow showers, don't say it's gonna happen.
I'm just saying it's our best shot so far this winter. So, but
we got to get through all this other garbage first. Yeah, all right,
well, and you know that's a three day weekend coming up too for
some folks with the MK. Yeah I'm here, I'm here Monday, here
Monday or your I am not. Oh wow, look at that you have
to do on Tuesday. You just said that there's potentially weather. I want
to be safe, so I will not yet keep yourself safe. And we're
at the five degrees A kickoff in Kansas City there Saturday night. There's so
ye that they're on Peacock So am I gonna borrow somebody's log? Why?
Because you know the scam scam? Why do you want to watch the Chiefs
game for Taylor Swift? Is that? What's up? No? I watch
every game. That was not possible to watch every game because much from around
at the same time and I don't believe you have seven TVs simultaneously going in
your home. Well I have three, and with YouTube and the ticket you
could put the four. They got a channel that it can show four,
so that's four eight. I could show twelve at one time if I if
I had to, but I don't like the multi All right, mister conductivity
or whatever here goodbye? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, raced agic there from
the Weather channel. Flexing. Flexing is TV ross. How many simultaneous things
could you call up at one time? Uh? Maybe like five, five
or six? Yeah, I'm thinking I've got three TVs O I only ever
used like two of them and an iPad laptop. Oh yeah, that we
could probably do nine or ten. Yeah, and I'm only have the one.
You got the whole family package there, so look at that. Well
all right, well we'll take a break. Seven coming up for some reason,
we got to talk about reparations because there's some bill. And speaking of
bills, oh, I gotta do the New York story. I'm sorry,
I got sidetrial. Do the New York story. What the parents are mad
about up there? First? That and speaking of bills, with the state
of California is not getting ready to do, because of course they are hang
on for that ninety w PTI in the Triad and FM talked in the Triangle,
all right, welcome back seven fifty four here on the KCO Gay Radio
program. And oh boy, all right, let me uh, let me
do the New York story because I got distracted by Ross inserting the boom big
beer in there. So parents in New York City were informed that their child's
schools. And I'm trying to remember how many schools it is. I guess
the main, the big one where they're doing this, the main one that's
in the story is in Brooklyn. All right, so this is James Madison
High School. Oh my gosh, how does that still name? James Madison
High School? With all those in Brooklyn, with all those hipsters about.
Well, anyway, but the high school would be going remote. So what
do you think it was? The Maybe the heater went out, Maybe there's
a COVID localized COVID outbreak. No, Instead, the decision was made to
return the students to remote learning so the school could be converted to housing for
nearly two thousand migrants who had to be evacuated from the tent shelter that was
that's out on where is it someone of the islands there is that Roosevelt Island,
the one that's I'm not super familiar with all of it, the one
that's not out by the Statue Liberty. But anyway, they'd set up that.
Essentially they use those there's a ton of fields there, like soccer fields,
baseball fields, all of that, and they've been using that as essentially
like a tent city. But with the storm coming, they had to do
something, so they decided, hey, we'll just go remote with the kids.
And now the high school is a migrant shelter. So again I told
you this, with the with the remote learning stuff, you're going to be
real surprised or maybe not surprised as there continues to be more and more super
emergent and see legitimate reasons, uh to go ahead and go remote. And
we've seen suggestions for other stuff like you have. There's still i think teachers
Union in California still once and they're still talking about I think doing like one
or two days a week remote. I think they wanted Fridays to be a
remote day and they're still talking about that, but they're talking about something else.
In California too California lawmakers. By the way, anytime you hear a
story that starts with California lawmakers, you have to understand it's so one sided
there that if a bill is coming up in the full California legislature, it's
probably already you know, it's probably already going to pass because it's there is
no there's no pushback, there's no competition, if you will, uh,
for for what actually happens there. So I'm gonna go, I'm just going
to assume this is gonna come to come to pass. California lawmakers are getting
ready to ban tackle football for kids. Now in this case, when I
say kids, it would be kids twelve or under, so not all of
them, although I'm sure eventually they'll get to the high schoolers and middle schoolers
as well. Uh yeah, they got to go they're gonna band Now how
does that work? Is that? So like if me and my buddies are
in a park playing tackle football because we're dumb, and you know, when
we were kids started as flag or touch football, things got a little more
grunt, like could you arrest us? I don't know how that works.
But also I gotta think that there's gonna be a few less D one super
prospects coming out of that state. Because yeah, and also, if you're
going to teach kids, this is about the time they're learning to play organize
foot and you have options to not do tackle. But once you progress there,
it's important you teach kids how to do it right. Get some skills,
and that includes tackling people without snapping their neck or taking a penalty.
Man. All right, good morning and happy middle of the week. Ain't
good, it ain't bad, just it is what it is. Kc O
Day Radio program. Glad to have you along. I need to add one
more thing to the that story of the high school up in New York where
the decided, hey, you know what, I know, it's school supposed
kids supposed to be in school today, but we're in remote learning because we're
going to move two thousand of the the migrants into the school. This is
what kills me. Right. There isn't a city in the United States that
has more resources available right just out of sheer size, population center, valuation,
you know, of everything there, the amount of money I mean,
la I guess could compete, but New York still beats them out. And
even with all of those resources. Everything is like a panicked decision where they
don't know what to do. Right. They're like, all right, let's
take all our sports fields and now they're a camp. Let's let's take hotels
in Times Square and we'll convert those to migrant housing. Oh no, there's
a bunch of problems and asks the one, so let's do that? What
was the what was the other big one where you're just like, what are
you doing? And but I point this out because the numbers that New York
seen, even though it is a lot by New York standards, pales in
comparison to what communities in Texas and Arizona and even parts of California and especially
small communities have dealt with for ever and especially now in in in a much
more significant fashion. Like where was it Brownsville, Texas? Do you remember
the video where they showed downtown Brownsville and the entirety of it looks like San
Francisco with but like one big homeless camp, just people camping there. That
was it? That was that was like the totality of their business district just
covered. Just trying to deal with the numbers. And remember we saw those
numbers and like, you look at those numbers and you realize if you could
fill four Michigan football stadiums with with the with the latest round of numbers in
retrospect for twenty twenty three, it's just it's crazy, man. So now
they're going to do this. But I was slightly inaccurate. They're not doing
remote learning in the sense that everybody's tuning in to the normal class and then
there's the teacher on the other side. No, no, no. Instead,
actually what they're doing is why can't I never remember the name of this.
The students are being provided their assignments, which are available on this Google
Docs thing that they I guess the school has that, you know, to
provide resources to the kids. And also during remote learn arning, Google Classrooms
is what it's called. So students were sent a message instructing them to log
into their Google Classrooms account, pick up the required assignments, and spend the
day doing those assignments. And then at the bottom they write, teachers will
be available via zoom if requested prior by email. Well what does that mean?
So if a kid is doing their assignment today and they're stuck that it's
too late to request a teacher help them. What are the teacher are the
teachers? Are the teachers there, like, I don't know, catering for
the two thousand folks that were moved in there? The hell are they doing
that? They can't just teach a class that they all learned how to do.
So. No, they didn't just decide to go remote learning. They
went that whatever that ross I can remember the name of it. What's the
day where you were the teacher? Right? And you just they didn't need
I think those are called asynchronous days. Asynchronous that's the word I'm looking for.
So they went they just they just pulled an asynchronous day. Yeah.
Yeah, that's gonna irritate some parents for sure. All Right, I have
a call here, Casey. What's up. Hey? I just had a
question of comment. You're you're talking about emailing and stuff like that. I
think what they meant is you email the teacher and then the teacher gets back
to you on zoom after the email. But my question was how long did
they plan on having them in the school? Was it for the rest of
the year, was it for the rest of the month. Was it just
storm and then they're moving them back out? Well, here's the problem it.
Initially it was explained that it's because of the storm. The problem is
they hated over there. Uh. And there's a bunch of advocacy groups that
because it's in it's temporary, it's like ten housing, they feel that it's
inhumane. So now activists are demand and they don't move, and a bunch
of the migrants are not keen on going back to tent city Ireland Island,
which I guess I would understand this time of the year a tent versus inside
a physical building. But again, I'm just flummoxed at New York with all
those buildings and all the resources and all the money and everything. I understand
things are cramped there, but just the sheer size of it. That two
thousand is this overwhelming number, right, Like they have high schools with two
thousand students in it, which is why they're housing them there. So well,
we would agree that during a storm that would be a humanitarian issue,
right, You don't want them hel in the storm, put them right,
right, but put them in the Berkley Center, do you know what I'm
saying? Right? Put them in you know, yeah, put them in
the arena. I mean I know that didn't work out great in Houston post
Katrina. There were some issues, but I get it, and then that
might be why they didn't do it because they saw how poorly that worked out
well. But you can also you can also figure out how to police that
right because there's gonna there's look, there's gonna be a heavy lift on the
part of resources. You would agree to move two thousand people likely to be
regardless. Yeah, the resources are going to be an issue regardless of where
you put them. So if it's not where we have people living in the
super Dome for months and it's just going to be a day or two as
as stated, then I don't understand why you couldn't utilize the uh, the
arenas there go to Madison Square Garden, you know what I'm saying. And
instead of instead of yeah, sure, pushing them out of this school.
That's the part I can't wrap my head around. And I understand why parents
are mad. You're looking around at all these I'm a teacher, Casey,
and I will say this remote learning, especially for if it's just a day
or two, it's not that big of a process. Yes, you get
assignments, teachers are available for a day or two if that's how long they
plan on doing it. It's not a hard thing to do now, moving
scheduling and stuff like that. For an arena where you're dealing with millions of
dollars in contracts, that might be a little tougher than sending out a couple
of summons via Google classroom. That's the way I view that. All right,
Well, I don't think every arena's got a Billy Joel concert today.
I'm gonna meet you halfway because I think that here's where the frustration lies.
It's not the idea that because like I mean, let's face, you're a
teacher. You know how those days right ahead of a vacation or at the
end of the year are right, like, there's not a ton of learning
going on usually, and it so people people, we're back, we're back.
It's actually it's actually seconds messer for us. Well, no, no,
no, I'm not saying in your individual I'm just saying in the generic
sense me remembering my time as a school kid, Like you know, there's
certain times of the year where there's not a lot going on, and if
there is a day like you know where where it has to haven't fine,
But The problem is is that people who would have been sympathetic to that,
uh, they were lied to and they were gas lip about the idea that
there would be no learning loss for the kids. You know. That's and
the beef isn't necessarily with the teachers, although it isn't Randy Weingarten and the
teachers Union, but it's the idea that they were told one thing and then
they were told not to believe it when their kid is struggling, that it's
anything but the kid's fault. That's what irritated so many people. Instead of
being adults and saying, look, this isn't ideal and there's going to be
problems, but we've had to weigh the problems and we feel this is the
better solution. Instead they were told that they hate teachers and they hate so
well. And you're talking about learning loss over a year, year and a
half period of two to maybe five days, but you understand which people are
going to have a short loss, but then they are able to recover that
very quickly when they get back with the teacher, some of them, some
of them. That hasn't. That actually hasn't been the case among the younger
sets. We've seen now absolutely, Like I said, over a year and
a half period, Yes, that is much harder to recover, and I
agree with you there, but that was also a much different situation than housing
people for a storm that's coming through and now is gone and then recover.
But once you told a bunch of people that they're irrational and they're dumb,
and that they are they don't know what's happening with their own kid, people
get a lot less reasonable to hear you out. You know what I'm saying,
right, But I also don't think this has anything to do with the
learning loss as much as it does immigration obviously, and that's another issue whenever
you can't and when you can't even agree on simple legislation to alleviate that Republican
or Democrat. Yeah, again, there's there's a there's a range of emotions
here. But let's not pretend that that you know the previous, the previous
remote learning. Like if you hadn't done all that and you just told they
were doing remote learning, I don't I think people would be like, well,
let me see what that's about, because they didn't know. Well,
now they know absolutely, But when you have to do it for a year
and a half. Yes, it's not ideal. Nobody, nobody, even
teachers, the people that came up with that, would have said, yes,
we would rather do this than in person learning. No one ever except
for the Chicago teacher lady. She was like, yeah, let's do this
all the time. That one lady, that one person lady, that teachers
union got that the creepy look in Chicago mayor ousted, and then they got
the uh, the insane guy in So it was they were pretty powerful.
All right, I got a roll man, thank you very much for the
call. So yeah, that's that's what's going on up there. But yeah,
I look again, if it was your first time hearing the words remote
learning, like I think people would be all right, well let's see if
this is just for a day. But now you've run into all these issues
like are they going to what's going to happen if they don't want to go
back there to the tent city? What are you? What are you going
to do? And then with all the crap that went down and all the
bs the people were fed, they don't have the patience to hear you out
when you're doing that stuff, and you think that's unreasonable or reasonable. That's
fine, but I at least understand why people are just done quote listening to
the experts and being told by their government better is what they're gonna do.
That's that's there's there's there's a lot of fault here as to why we're here.
And it doesn't just live with parents who people think are being irrational over
immigration stuff. There's a lot more. All right, eight eighteen Casey O
Day Radio program. We can get some more calls if you like. We're
gonna have to contextualize stuff. So you probably saw this story journalists joke about
assassinating Trump a kinda kind of I but not really I know, I know,
stupid me trying to actually you get some context here. Uh, we'll
explain it coming up next. Hang on, This is Casey O Day and
Carolina's Morning News. I almost forgot. I almost forgot because it was such
a mystery. On the show, they outed Bob, remember just Bob from
the Alaskan Airlines plugdor incident where they made painstaking points during the during the actual
press conference by the NTSB to point out that the dude who founded his name
is Bob. But we're not gonna tell you anymore. It's just Bob.
And immediately you're like that dude's got to be a witness protection what the hell's
going on with that? Or he's gonna warrant? Well? Uh, the
Oregon Public Broadcasting did a story and actually he talked to him, and I
guess told me to use his real name. So his name is Bob Sour.
He's a science teacher. And I'm not knocked on Bob because I now
that we know, I don't think he's probably a former mind. I don't
know. Maybe I don't know, maybe it was in the mob, but
like they're talking to him about it. And how would you describe if you
were being interviewed on the news and a an airline plane door fell, you
know, twenty thousand feet and stuck into your yard like a you know,
like a toss volcanic rock. Right, this just bladed into your grass,
which is what happened. How would that interview go? You'd be like,
oh my gosh, right, you'd be It would be very excitable. It
would be somewhat irrational because you're like, oh my go, had I been
checking my mail, I would have been cutting half. This is crazy.
Not Bob Man Bob starts, Oh, Bob got real nerdy on this thing
real quick. And let's see. So Bob says he didn't touch it for
fear of destroying evidence, but he was intrigued to see the door's serial number,
another manufacturing details. And then he goes on in this interview to talk
about the interest level in the research he's been doing on like the you know,
to figure out what it was and everything's there, and I, okay,
all right, I kind of get that, but then he just keeps
telling the reporter about it. He goes, I was doing some ready,
I was doing research and I was able to determine that the door was actually
manufactured in Malaysia and tracked it back. It's the nerdiest interview I've ever seen.
Obviously, I'm not gonna not gonna hit all of it. But yeah,
so Bob's out. We know who Bob is. Now, okay,
all right, very good, just following up, just following up, all
right, I'll see, Paul, what's going on? Oh wait, I'm
sorry that we had some people they formed a committee to deport you. You
know this right? Oh yeah, I heard them about that, but I
didn't say I don't like North Carolina barbecue. But the bucket stuff's real good.
Now, what I'm calling about was illegal immigrants displacing the school kids.
I've been in this country fourteen years. I think it's a great place.
Everything about America being exceptional is true, all that sort of stuff. But
ninety percent the same here in Australia and Australia five percent there's better. Five
percent here is better. The five percent that's there. Better. Part of
that is the immigration laws. When an illegal immigrant is identified at the border,
they are put in an internment camp until their documentation that bona fides are
proven, so we know whether or not we want to integrate these people into
our society. We don't have no people released into our society with the hope
of kicking them out and finding out. Can I be fair? Can I
be fair? It's really hard to walk to Australia, so it is.
You would believe you wouldn't. There's a certain time of year, about four
or five months of the year when the weather is really good on the northern
coast and we basically called the refugee regatta. Yeah, from Papua New Guinea
in this area. Yeah, about I have another Australian buddy used to live
up there was telling me about that, tell me some other stuff too,
But I appreciate the call. I gotta go to break from Man Your Day
Smarter one o six one FM Talk and News Talk n w PTI more with
Casey starts now. All right, good good morning to you. It is
eight thirty six, uh. Yesterday a driver was taken into custody. This
was right around six o'clock last night after crashing into the White House gates,
which is such a popular activity that I would point out if you haven't been
to DC in a while, getting to the gates in a vehicle is not
supposed to be something you can do. They have there's Secret Service. They
have like a block perimeter around the White House. It's been that way for
a while, and in fact they even have those They utilize those what do
they call the ballards or whatever, the you know, the concrete pillars that
come up or metal pillars that come up rise out of the ground. They
actually use that to So I guess my question would be how how did how
did they get through these these you know, mobilize vehicle devices and around Secret
Service, so they could crash into the White House gate. That's what's weird.
Man driver taking into custody and investigating the cause and manner of the collision.
Let's see here, and then I'm looking at the NBC news story.
I don't even think they point this out. They should know their office.
They're broadcast facilities where I did the radio row from and it's got like CNN
and a bunch in there, and it's literally like it's just a couple of
blocks, so you would think they'd see it. Here we go. The
White House fence has been updated in recent years, including making it taller.
In twenty twenty one, they build a thirteen foot fence with wider, stronger
posts. And it was and then now we have this this security perimeter.
You can still walk up. You still walk up there to the gates,
but you're not gonna be able to drive. And there's and it was really
kind of limited where you could drive anyway. But yeah, you can't do
that no more. Did I And I'm and I'm I'm trying. This is
from WSOC AM I reading this right. So among the individuals who needed assistance
during the flooding in Charlotte was a woman who it sounds like she crawled,
or she like tried to shimmy down somewhere so she'd get a better view of
a porta potty floating by on the on the on the street or river or
whatever so she could film it. And then she couldn't get up because you
know it's wet rocks or so. I don't know, she's fine, but
what are you doing? I just don't understand these people where like their first
reaction to everything right is to whip out the phone and record it and put
it online. My I could be driving home today out of nowhere, like
I'm just saying, I'm on Atlantic, I'm out of red light, and
suddenly my car is surrounded by moose. Well, well, no, I
would be insane because moose, aren't you know? They don't right, nothing
but moosing everywhere. As we learned, yes, I I would not take
out my phone phone and film it. I wouldn't even consider it. And
this drives Marquee, my wife, insane, because like things will happen and
she's like, why didn't you record it? And I'm like, I didn't
even think about it, Like I just don't even think of but you got
these people and instead of immediately stopping to assess their situation or look at their
surroundings, or see if they're safe of their potential for danger. The first
instinct, the very first instinct, is to whip out the phone and try
to post on social media for your dopamine hits. It's nuts. Now,
would I stare at a at a porta potty floating down the street from if
I'm in a safe place? Yeah? Right, because you don't see that
every day, but you have, Russ. Tell me if you think that
this is my theory on what she thought she was gonna get. You know
that meme with the dumpster on fire, right right? I think she saw
that and what I'm gonna have. I'm gonna have the new better version of
that. I was gonna get someone to add flames. That's my theory.
I think I'm right. I know I'm right. Yeah, that's not a
theory. That's exactly what happened. Yeah, I'm gonna make this new moose.
Yeah dude, you got are they climbing? Listen? I might consider
it like an hour in if I was surrounded by the most in an hour,
I think my brain would finally click and I'd be like I should probably
film this for the website or whatever. It's it's a deficit I have.
I understand my weaknesses. And the thing is, there's so many times that
things happen or I see things and I just don't think about filming it.
I just don't because you and I don't do We don't do a lot of
videos, pictures, stuff like that. I do very occasional stuff, but
like everything, if you go into my photo gallery, do you know what
ninety percent of it is screenshots, screenshots or memes. Yeah, screenshots and
memes. That's it. Baby. And meanwhile, like Marky, she has
photos of everything and videos of every family event. And I'm thankful she does
because I was doing it yesterday. I was going back and looking back at
some videos and I thought to myself, I'm so thankful my wife took a
video of this. But I would have never thought of it. And maybe
you know, there's a seven year age difference between Markey and I. There's
a gen X and a millennial thing there. That's probably the difference. Well,
I just do not think of filming in these events that happen when I
see it that I just don't think of it, justn't. Yeah, maybe
you know, I'm at a concert. I don't think of filming the concert.
I sit back and I enjoy the concert, and I take in the
moment. Oh, the concert thing is just but the same thing when I
see things. I sit back and I take in the moment. Right,
But if you went, Let's say you went to a Taylor Swift concert,
okay, because that's you know, that's a big thing right now. Not
that you would, right because I'm suicidal and I'm trying to send the world
a message. Yeah sign all right, But anyway, let's say you went
and he wanted to be there, Like, it's not surprising that you saw
Taylor Swift in your scenario. You're in you're in Raleigh city limits, and
you've been surrounded by eight moose or moosin like, that's that's on a different
level right there. But you know it's people like you and me why we
don't have clear bigfoot footage. Same thing. So, but I'm saying I
would put my safety first, and I would try to consider, you know,
I would assess my situation and look at my surroundings. So if I'm
at that fictional Taylor Swift concert and something crazy happens, Rozelle Ghoul sends out
the ninjas from the Leagues of Shadowskay, I wouldn't film it. I'd be
like, I'm going to you can't because you can't see them on film they're
ninjas. No, I would assess the situation. I would see if I
was in danger and try to get away, I ran film and you would
have some jackass idiot in the front row filming it, going look at the
ninshows on the slip stander Taylor Swift, and then you're a headline idiot dies
by ninja Taylor Swift concert. Well, this happens all the unknown idiot dies
and then the video which has been uploading the clouds beyond there and it would
look like that video of the Miami Mall aliens g liars. There's no didjas.
This guy's just dub all right, So don't film floating porta pot.
I didn't. I didn't realize we had to put a restriction on this.
That's it. Yeah, that's why you come to the show. Advice people,
absolute wonderful advice. Now, if the same scenario with the moose was
that they were climate protesting moose and they were gluing you know, gluing their
hoofs to stuff. I would film that because I'd be just like so annoyed
with all of it, because all of those glue themselves and block traffic.
People annoy me. It would just be refreshing to have another species. And
by the way, eight don't want you to go somewhere, You're not going
there. You don't realize how big a moose is until you're near a moose.
It's intimidatingly Okay, yeah, it's like you're surrounded by like seven or
eight like Josh Allen's, You're like, there's nothing I can do. Now,
there's nothing I can do. Do this thing. Josh Allen wouldn't even
reach the paddles on a couple of the moose that I've been around. It's
crazy. It's intimidating man, especially young in earlier in the year. Earlier
in the year, if you see a bunch of young, young male moose,
and like, you know, if you're up in the mountains like in
Wyoming or wherever where they have a lot of moose and you come across them
pre rut or just on the cusp of it, stay the hell away.
You don't want anything to do with a bunch of juvenile just getting into the
rut moose they are they see something, They're just like, let's go,
let's go stomp the crap out of that. And they did. They had
some dude. They took some dudes jeep apart. When I was a he
was up in one of the parks. He saw a bunch of moose and
he gets out and they charged him. Immediately he was able to get in
the jeep. They beat this thing and it looked like it was in a
rollover accident. So to Ross's point, yeah, you're in danger. You
need to get away and not be filming stuff. All right, seven forty
four, here on the CaCO Day radio program, John, What's up?
Yeah, man, there was a two calls before I think there was a
guy being very disingenuine about kids missing school and going remote days. I don't
know what that guy was on. Maybe it was on some super political like
I got to believe this juice. But the reality is that I'm from Robinson
County and I was teaching North Carolina history at the moment COVID came, and
we had just experienced Matthew and Florence, and I told my kids, because
we will not be back in two weeks. You'll be lucky to see me
next year. And they said, what do you mean, I goes well
with all this political change happening, because it was like it was still like
four years into Trump and all that craziness, and then with the me too
and Black Lives Matter riots in the street, and I was like, we
won't be back, like we can't even decide whether or not we can talk
about where this thing came from, COVID came from. And so now if
I had the kids who I haven't seen in three years that see me on
the streets, they were like, we miss your class. Not because we
just miss you, but we didn't realize how hard it was going to be
in the real world because they're now graduated and trying to get into college and
some of them can't make it. Yeah, and so to say that two
and three days out of school going remote because of a storm can't lead to
something else is ridiculous. We were out of school four days before we got
a message that is going to be a month, and at that point it
was the end of the school year. It was just ridiculous. Man,
I recognize a year and a half and in one or two days is different.
But it's you recognize, it's the totality of it, and it's the
fool me once idea I think drives a lot of people there. Well,
I appreciate it. John. I can't imagine being a history teacher nowadays because
I love I love history sometimes, but like when you see stuff like sixteen
nineteen project coming down and oh you know, oh all right, real quick,
real quick. I was told that I should and I quote, glance
over the Holocaust in the Civil War and squeeze in BLM and prior history.
I was like, you got to be kidding me. Glance over it.
There's a reason. There's a reason, like well like half of the students
that younger students don't even they don't know about the Holocaust, and this is
how we get here. So I'm like, yeah, why do we glance
over twelve million people just getting dusted all to earth like it's nothing like,
well it was wild they got they got, uh, you gotta you gotta
make some flags and stuff. So all right, I gotta I gotta go
John very late for the weather raced Agic Weather Channel. What's going on,
sir? In case we are winding down now this latest round of rain and
wind. More coming, however, really don't really like to be the bear
of bad news. But more rain and thunderstorms and severe weather enhanced risk for
most of the eastern part of the state to gain Friday Friday night early until
then a lot of sun, some clouds today, still gusty wins and close
to fifty mid fifties. Tomorrow loads will be near freezing, so chilly mornings,
and then the rain chance ramps up Friday early, especially tried in points
west. There could be a little wet snow in the onset. But then
as the PRESP spreads through Friday afternoon and Friday night, rain and thunderstorms,
probably ending around midnight or just thereafter, and again severe weather as possible with
all the elements, wind, hail and even tornadoes. Sun near or close
to fifty over the weekend, I guess that means the same thing. And
then MLK day Monday, cloudy with a chance of rain Monday night to Tuesday,
maybe some snow for some of us, so I have to keep it
eye on that very closely. I will go clear on shelves yet case,
but maybe a little bit colder air, especially early on Tuesday. All right,
thank you, sir. We'll come back with Jeff Bellonzer. Next hang
on the idea is eight fifty three. Your Bloomberg update now, Jeff Belser.
What's happening out morning? Casey got confirmation of a big tech deal after
the markets closed yesterday, Hewlett Packard Enterprise buying Juniper Networks. This is a
deal worth fourteen billion dollars hpees. Chief executive says the company's networking business will
double in size once this deal closes. There are some concerns today about the
strength of the security measures used by X and the social platforms reliable as reliability
as a source of information. The Securities and Exchange Commission says its account on
X was hacked and the posting led to a spike in the price of bitcoin.
This is considered to be among the most consequential breaches in years. Salary
increases will be elevated post pandemic, but this year's raises won't be as generous
as last year's. Willis Towers Watson says American employers are budgeting for four percent
races. Pay hikes average four point four percent in twenty twenty three, but
the average was around three percent in the years leading up to the pandemic.
Tesla's revamped Model three sedan now available in North America. Consumers have been waiting
for that announcement. The electric vehicle has been on the market in China and
Europe for a number of months now, and robocall volume in the USKC increased
nine percent last year. According to a U mail index, more than fifty
five billion of the calls replaced in twenty twenty three. The number of robocalls
fell significantly in December, and while that sounds encouraging, the CEO of you
Mail says, a drop office typical in December because the bad guys go on
vacation just like everybody else. Yeah, but they do it with our money.
So there's you know that. That's right. Yeah, all right,
Jeff, appreciate it. Thank you very much, sir. Okay, you
have a good day. All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg
News on the phone. Today's that he's at home hiding from the storm too.
So a lot of a lot of a lot of kids are today.
They're out, and there's lots of business closures, although less so here probably
than in Charlotte, but so be it. All right, a couple of
things for before we bug out of here. There's yesterday these headlines all about
about some journalists we're joking about assassinating Trump. It's kind of hard to hear.
Let me play it for you. Hold on, let me let me
barther. Why am I not hearing that? Is that channel jacked? Oh?
That's great? All right? Ross my button bars? There we go.
Okay. You know the worst part is he's hanging out of it.
It be on the other side. I mean, if he's driving, you've
got a good shad. He's driving with the front window. Now, I'll
just to be clear these are videographers or the or at least one of them
is, because what they're talking and what they start talking about is they're talking
about a camera shot and it's abundantly clear. Yet Yeah, I wasn't thinking
about that. Yeah, Like if you just pulls up like JFK, I
don't like a jam, and then you hear somebody kind of and then he
makes a JFK joke and then they joke about, hey, mister president,
why don't you take a convertible today? It's nice though, all right,
are they, because again I try to rationalize this stuff because everyone just freaks
out on the internet. Do you feel that those two individuals, in some
way, shape or form are are I don't know. Maybe maybe politically they
they wouldn't mind it, but it sounds like they're joking. Even if it's
dumb, it's just dark humor. I saw it, and by the way,
I saw somebody also come at that point and they were just getting eviscerated.
But I don't care because, like I understand that, you know,
Sarah Palin couldn't put targets over districts without people freaking out. But I'm not
going to join that party. By the way, you know Shane Ross,
you know Shane Gillis is the comedian Shane Gillis almost on SNL and then like
a tweet emerged. He's hilarious. He does a whole bit about the UH
and I'll be very clear, so he his joke is that the funniest president,
the funniest presidential assassination would be Trump, and everybody cringes in it.
But his joke is that, you know, Trump would just be talking to
the dude while, you know, while some guy's rolling up you're a loser,
You're and he does a very good Trump impression. He then goes on
to point out that Biden would be the first president you could punch assassinate,
which is very funny, right, So, like, but I don't think
Shane Gillis wants to do anything. But I don't know Shane Gillis. So
I just know that I laughed a lot at the punches fast oh man.
All right, anyway, we got a roll on probably going to jail,
