WEBVTT

1
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:30.679
All right, good morning Kcoday Radio
program. So do you think it was

2
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.240
because I said something or do you
feel that your brain independently arrived at the

3
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.359
wirey twenty four hours off? No, I was feeling the exact same way,

4
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.679
Okay, like I saince Wednesday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So

5
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.799
on Wednesday I had this weird thing
around just say, I kept I had

6
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.079
to literally stop myself. I think
I said it out loud ones but then

7
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.079
I had to stop myself, like
you know, happy Thursday or something,

8
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.560
and I'm like, oh, yeah, it's Wednesday. And then even after

9
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.640
you know, you do it later
in the day and then Thursday. I

10
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.640
don't know. Oh man, Obviously
we have to uh run it through Okham's

11
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.799
razor, and I think probably we
jumped a multible. So I'm sorry,

12
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.200
Okham's what do I want to talk
about wrestler today? Just to clarify,

13
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.879
it's it's Aukham Ockham's razor ramone.
Oh wow, it's a technical term.

14
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:23.959
I'm sorry. Do you want the
item named after razor ramone? I mean

15
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.799
everybody has their thing. Oh okay, who am I to judge? If

16
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.920
you don't know what we're talking about, you will and maybe you wish you

17
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:38.120
wouldn't. Yeah, I would steer
clear of the razor ramone. I would

18
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.879
also steer clear of Well, we'll
get into it. Then I got a

19
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.560
whole list. It would make me
some some questions. There. The Vince

20
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:57.719
mcmand story's nuts and it's it's nuts, and it's weird, and there's even

21
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.959
some there's a lot of ick factor. But again, and you're dealing with

22
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:14.319
allegations, you're dealing with a It
sounds like a deal that was struck that

23
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.879
the person the deal was struck with, who was a former employee of WWE,

24
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.280
who had a whole laundry list of
kind of me too style McMahon allegations.

25
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:34.280
And this goes back, man,
yes, early. I don't want

26
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.400
to get right into this. Yeh. So this goes back at least a

27
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.479
couple of years. And apparently the
two sides had struck a deal and her

28
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.120
through a lawyer, claiming they paid
like one third of it and then just

29
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:52.879
ignored her. So now we're back
here, but we're back with deats details,

30
00:02:53.080 --> 00:03:00.199
not necessarily receipts details. So and
this is this is a civil thing.

31
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:05.759
Although I know security is in exchange. I think was doing an investigation

32
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:15.199
on McMahon and something similar to this
was was part of that. But I

33
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.159
have I don't know if that's still
going on or what even like I didn't

34
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.039
see anything, so maybe nothing happened
with it. I don't know, but

35
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.439
yeah, we'll fill We'll fill you
in on the details. There we got.

36
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.360
We got a wonderful entertainment news for
you. Pete Callander will join us

37
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:38.919
coming up eight oh five. Uh
New Hanover County, the superintendent of schools

38
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:46.280
down there in Wilmington, apparently very
inspired by what's going on in Guildford County.

39
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.000
I I, you know, this
is something I've advocated for, and

40
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.199
I think that people who are in
higher ed or excuse me, people who

41
00:03:54.240 --> 00:04:00.759
are in public head and even private
for that matter, but especially in the

42
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:08.000
public sector, whether it is state
to state, district to district, if

43
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:12.560
if you're if you're running a school, or you're running your county commissioner,

44
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:21.079
city council member. Okay, it's
the Peatrie dishes man. Chances are somewhere

45
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:29.639
they are doing something more efficiently that
you would also be able to adopt and

46
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.519
it would bring efficiency to your governmental
entity. That's good, that's great.

47
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.439
Love it However, this is not
what I meant, so let me just

48
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:47.639
start here this morning. New Headover
Schools. There's a school down there called

49
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.639
Mosely, and I don't know if
you're familiar with it. I've seen it

50
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.800
actually written about a couple of times, so I'm I kind of had a

51
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.720
working knowledge. Moseley was an academy, and right, so you get the

52
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.519
math and sciences academy the districts will
do, but Mosley was unique in that

53
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.000
it was an academy, a very
well funded academy within the public school system

54
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:24.120
for students with special needs. And
it's closing. They said specifically, the

55
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.920
students would be filtered back into the
district's various schools, and as you can

56
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.040
imagine, parents of students within Mosley
and parents in general, thought it was

57
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.439
this is a good thing that they're
doing were ranging from scratching their head to

58
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:46.839
absolutely outraged. But then the other
shoe dropped Wednesday at a joint meeting between

59
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.600
New Hanover County commissioner commissioners and by
the way, there's not ped peace in

60
00:05:51.639 --> 00:06:00.759
the Carolina Journal by Dane Scalise.
He is one of New Hanover Counties commissioners

61
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.040
and he's writing about this, he
relates a conversation he had with doctor Faust,

62
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:19.480
who is the superintendent there. Let's
see here, Yeah, and real

63
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.639
quickly, the it's called the full
name of Mosley is called the Career Readiness

64
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:31.040
Academy at Moseley. So this was
more than just This was more than just

65
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:38.920
adaptive education based on the needs of
students who obviously deal with unique challenges.

66
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.079
But it was more than that.
Even it also was as students got older,

67
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:48.160
it was preparing them for you know, being able to go to work,

68
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:55.360
perhaps you know, living alone,
or you know, getting some maybe

69
00:06:55.399 --> 00:07:00.519
some depending on what's going on,
maybe some additional hands on training or vuccasion

70
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.879
following K twelve that could be beneficial
within their particular situation. They were trying

71
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.759
to do a lot there, and
look, I get that that's expensive.

72
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:17.199
I understand, And it's likely that
even with funding and additional what do they

73
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:24.480
call Title one funding I can't remember, which is federal funding that is attached

74
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.160
to special needs students, even with
that, the likelihood is the new Hanover

75
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:34.120
County was subsidizing it kind of well
in the way that schools do, so

76
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:46.279
it's not profitable. But then last
Wednesday they acknowledge that one of the possibilities,

77
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.920
and apparently it's the one they're very
excited about, because the superintendent has

78
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.959
traveled out of Guildford County on multiple
occasions, is to replace it with a

79
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:05.040
newcomers school, of which Guildford County
has two, the old Jewish Day School

80
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.279
and they just they just literally just
opened another one. But that's the Nate

81
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.360
ROSTI are you are you picking up
on what a newcomers school is? Newcomers

82
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:20.240
school? Yeah, it's a school
that, like the Jewish Day School it

83
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.120
would be, would then contract and
essentially just be filled with migrant kids.

84
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.360
Now you understand why everyone's losing their
crap down there in Wilmington. Man,

85
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:37.320
they're taking this. This not not
wholly unique, but uh, this what

86
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:43.960
most people see is a very positive
solution to the education of students who require,

87
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.399
you know, independent educational plans.
Uh, that's not what it's called.

88
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.879
I That's what it is. I
e P right, individualized. I

89
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.720
almost said I ED, And I'm
like, don't make the Wednesday Thursday thing

90
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.720
and please don't teach the kids to
make IEDs. So they have individualized plans,

91
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.279
the teacher to student ratios higher,
all of these things, but New

92
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.200
Hanover was getting it done at least
within the acceptable parameters of their constituents.

93
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:22.360
But you know, it's really profitable, heavily heavily subsidized federal spending for newcomer

94
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:28.120
schools. And so that's the debate. And the interesting thing is they go

95
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.720
in throughout the article they talk about
how let me flip over to the latter

96
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:41.159
part, but let me read from
the article for the opped mostly is a

97
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.960
one of a kind public school offering
custom tailored education to students who require special

98
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:54.559
learning. And while newcomer schools may
be called schools, they're more akin to

99
00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:01.720
migrant resettlement and assimilation facilities. The
purported mission the facilities is not to educate

100
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.559
students in the traditional sense, but
to allegedly help and tire immigrant and refugee

101
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.919
families integrate into the local community where
they're relocated. You know, we had

102
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.759
a stat I didn't get into the
other day. Do you remember do you

103
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.759
remember the that I've referenced this several
times in the last week, the the

104
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.440
sit down with Trump and Pelosi and
Schumer and she's poking her finger and all

105
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.480
that. Okay, well that was
about that was about border stuff. And

106
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:35.759
immigration stuff. And Donald Trump was
sitting in there willing to give them dhaka

107
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.000
and a pathway to citizenship, or
or at least he was he had indicated

108
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.080
he would be. I mean,
when it came pushed to shove, who

109
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:50.519
knows. But and all that he
asked was it was a little over what

110
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:58.840
six billion dollars for border wall,
and that was they wouldn't do it.

111
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.879
And then lay that we had that
government shutdown because again they wouldn't just give

112
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.679
six billion dollars. Now, if
Trump had known, he could have just

113
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:13.000
executive ordered it apparently I'm looking at
you student loan stuff, but he didn't.

114
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.120
So the Biden Whitehouse has disclosed that
the totality of spending just for housing

115
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.120
just housing, right, that does
not include secondary programs like this, It

116
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:30.600
does not include other benefits that may
be received through state programs and non housing

117
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:41.679
related federal programs. Totaled for migrant
resettlement, twenty billion dollars, twenty billion

118
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.879
dollars was spent just on the housing
aspect. And his government, so you

119
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.159
know that that once you tally everything, that the number would be astronomical or

120
00:11:52.279 --> 00:12:00.919
and all this all this for just
at just the housing. You know,

121
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.080
roughly four times the price of what
the wall would have provided. And one

122
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.840
has to think even if people,
even if you still had people coming through

123
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:18.960
and they came through the proper as
asylum process, it would it would be

124
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.960
an astronomical savings. It's not even
close. So this is going on down

125
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:31.399
a new handover. Guilford County Schools
elected a pioneer the new This is from

126
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.600
WUNC, so take it for what
it's worth. Guildford County Schools elected to

127
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:43.919
pioneer the newcomer school concepts. Guildford
County has subsequently experienced a rapid influx of

128
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:50.919
immigration and has been identified federally as
one of the Hubs Regional Hubs for Refugee

129
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.559
Resettlement. What happened well a little
over a month later, because remember that

130
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.720
they had another newcomer school open in
October. In November of last year,

131
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.960
representatives from New Hanover County Schools went
to Gopher County to visit the newcomer schools

132
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.639
or I think they only visited the
second one. I don't know that they

133
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.200
went to the Jewish day school.
But just two weeks later, New Hanover

134
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.720
County School administration publicly announced they were
closing Moseley and the superintendent and the school

135
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.279
board wants you to believe, Look, this is just one of a number

136
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.759
of things, but this county commissioner, he lists out this whole thing where

137
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.519
they were really excited about it.
They took trips. The superintendent took two

138
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.519
trips, I guess, or maybe
he took one and Reps took the other

139
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.639
or something, but there were two
visits, and then right in the timeline,

140
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.200
then they announced, Hey, we're
closing the school. This this kind

141
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.679
of one of a kind thing that
we've been doing, and we'll just we'll

142
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.000
shuffle the kids back into the other
schools and we want to do a newcomer

143
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:58.960
school. I don't know whether it's
financially that's what's driving it. Ideo Lodge,

144
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.679
there's the possibility that they really did
they just have to close that school

145
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.000
and they're looking at an empty building
going what the hell are we going to

146
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.960
do with it? But that's not
what they're saying. And folks down in

147
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:16.320
Wilmington are seeing that, and Guildford
County is the model for it. So

148
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:22.799
there you go, happy Friday morning. You don't make of that what you

149
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.360
will. A little closer to home, I saw a very I saw three

150
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.720
words together. I just don't expect
to see when reading a local crime report.

151
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.279
But I'll get We'll let you be
the judge of that. Like I

152
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.799
said, we got the McMahon stuff. And Ross, did you see the

153
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.399
couple who went to the on vacation
down to Mexico? And they were the

154
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.120
only one in the resort did because
this thing was blown up behind me it?

155
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.279
Oh dude, all right, I
don't want to say all of you

156
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.960
are wrong, but you all are
wrong, and I will I'll be happy

157
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.360
to explain that. And yes,
we even have a Stanley Cup update,

158
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:07.919
which you know what, I'm not
surprised. All right, good morning everybody.

159
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.200
It is six point thirty four.
Sorry cross diffon was gonna start talking

160
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.399
and all of a sudden the age
reloaded. Oh man, okay, all

161
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:26.200
right, whow tgif I could just
imbew that from the nineties and fast casual

162
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.759
restaurant advertising. All right, ros, you didn't see this. I'm gonna

163
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:39.399
start here on this thing. Hold
on, ah, okay, super Bowl

164
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.879
was played in eighty six. It
was eighty five, Okay, all right,

165
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.480
I said, it's the anniversary of
that, So again, sir,

166
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.159
I think it's Saturday right now,
So you're not. That's where my head's

167
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.759
at, so just just roll with
me. So I was reading this this

168
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:07.159
morning. It started as one of
those weird, little light hearted things,

169
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.399
which I don't know. Maybe back
in the day we could talk about stuff,

170
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.679
but the Internet, internets and everybody
is perpetually offended or a victim.

171
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.879
And I'm not necessarily implying that the
people who made the video feel like that,

172
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.600
although that you could tell that they
kind of do. But sometimes things

173
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.120
don't go well, and it's perfectly
appropriate if you have a problem with a

174
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:38.240
with a company to attempt to redress
and if you don't feel that it were

175
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:45.960
you were properly dealt with and have
reasonable expectations. Some people are just wholly

176
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:51.080
unreasonable. Those of you who are
face forward customer service you know exactly what

177
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:56.240
I'm talking about. But sometimes you
got to go, all right, we'll

178
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.639
screw you. I'm not going to
do business here anymore. I gave it,

179
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.240
you know, I just I had
an example one of the last times

180
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:10.759
I flew with American Airlines. They
you know airlines are the airlines, right,

181
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.039
and they canceled the flight eye was
or they moved it to the point

182
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.519
where I had they had to move
me and like it screws everything up,

183
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.839
and then they had a way to
rectify it, and they wouldn't do it,

184
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.000
even though I had all the stuff
in front of me, and I

185
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.279
was talking on the phone talking to
the customer service person and I and I

186
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.359
was basically I was asking not for
the totality of the ticket. I was

187
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.839
asking for a credit in the amount
of what I didn't get to do but

188
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.279
I had paid for. That was
my that was my reasonable thing. And

189
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:47.119
they basically told me to pound sand. But now, as an formed consumer,

190
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:48.920
I can sit here and I can
do that. And then I called

191
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.799
them back and they took care of
part of it. But that's you know,

192
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.519
that's what that's what people do.
I'm not a victim. I'm just

193
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.440
somebody who got poor service. And
now I have to decide, all right,

194
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.039
do I want to them next time
I'm in the market for air travel.

195
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:11.480
So this couple they decide they're going
to go to uh Los Cabos,

196
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:18.960
Mexico, the Grand Theos boutique,
which is described as a brand new luxury,

197
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:26.960
five star all inclusive resort. It
is a parent or a sister resort

198
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.000
to a very well established one that
is really nice. But this was going

199
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.119
to be the Krem Daily Krim,
and I'm looking at the pictures. It

200
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.480
looks amazing, other than the part
where if you get too far away from

201
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:42.799
it, your head goes in a
cooler. But this is this is,

202
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.720
this is what it was, and
it's one of those resorts where they there's

203
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.720
no peasant rooms. Okay, there's
no other rooms that most people would probably

204
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.519
book it a five star because I
screw it them on vacation and be at

205
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.000
the beach, at the bar,
at the restaurant, or at the golf

206
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.039
course. The whole time cares.
So you're paying good money. And if

207
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.200
people want to do that, God
bless them. Go do your thing.

208
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:11.160
You get a good five star resort. The service is amazing. So they

209
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.400
go down there and the couple who
they say were let's see, sell,

210
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:22.880
let's see. Let me just read
this to you. The couple uh said

211
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:27.599
that their dream vacation took an unexpected
turn when they started to wonder where the

212
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:34.519
other guests were. The couple,
uh, Cameron and his wife and of

213
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.160
his wife's name here, Uh,
we're celebrating their baby moon. What is

214
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.200
that? Ross what is a baby
moon? What is this? Is this

215
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.440
another thing that I have to buy
a gift? We never heard of that,

216
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:56.039
the baby moon, celebrating their baby
moon? How many this is?

217
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:57.880
You know this? This is like
push presence. Isn't it your baby moon?

218
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:04.440
Isn't it the the birthday hit your
baby? The anniversary of making the

219
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:11.839
baby? This is so dumb.
I just uh yeah. The first time

220
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.720
I heard about push presence, I'm
like, I'm sorry that right, because

221
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.440
it's if it's a honeymoon, Yeah, that's the anniversary, Like, that's

222
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.039
your the baby. I guess this
is their vacation from their baby. They

223
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.920
just had the baby, and they're
like, oh, we're going to vacation,

224
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.319
alright, we're celebrating. You gotta, I gotta, I gotta know.

225
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:38.119
Oh no, what? Oh my
god? What? I have so

226
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:41.759
many questions? Now? All right, Ross, you're ready for what it

227
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.720
is? You're ready, ready,
ready, all right? Oh. A

228
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:52.000
baby moon is a romantic vacation taken
by parents to be before the baby is

229
00:20:52.079 --> 00:21:00.359
born on the eve of the third
trimester. Okay, so what you definitely

230
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.359
want to do is go out on
a cruise or whatever. Well, that's

231
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:11.400
all it's it's kind of all inclusive
Mexican resort five stars. Look, here's

232
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.880
the thing, here's where I would
question it. But I'm you know,

233
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.599
if there's a lot of people don't
drink, so you know, one of

234
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.759
the reasons that people will justify a
five star resort is the food and booze

235
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:27.400
is included, and you know,
hopefully it's it's not poison like that time,

236
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.680
and and then that other time,
and then recently the other time.

237
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:37.920
So but if, but if you
want a really really nice resort, and

238
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.400
this one looks like it, I
just didn't know that was a thing.

239
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:48.960
So now if if, if a
couple is is pregnant, and as the

240
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:56.119
woman is transitioning into the the uncomfortable
phase of the pregnancy, you board a

241
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:03.920
plane for a week long all inclusive
baby moon vacation. And by the way,

242
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.759
it was a hell of a vacation. They started their vacation in Amsterdam,

243
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.160
which again is a city of a
thousand things that they pregnant woman probably

244
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.720
shouldn't be consuming. Then flew to
Mexico. All right, I'm sorry,

245
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:17.920
I haven't even gotten into the meat
of this. I just never heard that

246
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.960
term, and now I know it's
a thing. Ah, Okay, So

247
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:29.079
the couple who was celebrating their baby
moon said that what started is a little

248
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:33.319
bit of a joke turned into a
very strange experience. Yeah, and people

249
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:34.799
are emailing it's the last trip before
you have a baby. I didn't know

250
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.519
that, sir. People are acting
like I'm insane. I don't have kids

251
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.160
one but Ross does. And he
didn't know what it was. I never

252
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.680
heard that ever. Yeah, and
the last thing I'm gonna do is spend

253
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.000
money before baby's born on a t
The other thing, yeah, I saved

254
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.039
my money for the baby. Really, you don't want to go to the

255
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.319
casino in money? Carlos put it
all on thirty three. Okay, all

256
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.200
right. So anyway, so they
go there and they they noticed that everywhere

257
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.319
they go in the resort, everything
is perfect. The pool, the restaurants,

258
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.480
the bar, fully staffed, everywhere
they go, fully staffed, perfect

259
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.039
turn down. Everyone's great. But
they never see anybody. And they said,

260
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.480
quickly, within a couple of days
they were starting to get a little

261
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.759
concerned, and they were like,
where is anybody? And of course the

262
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.559
internet thinks they're at me, you
know, they got sucked into a wormhole

263
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.759
or something. But they post this
video and like, hey, we have

264
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:36.400
the whole resort to ourselves. The
resort, which again is sweets and above,

265
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.920
does not have a huge capacity,
but yeah, that's odd. It's

266
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.799
it's a pretty big building. Oh
and when they say sweets, they mean

267
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.240
actual sweets, not the weird language
that hotels will use, like oh,

268
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.400
it's a sweet and you're like,
what does that mean. It's like there's

269
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:55.839
room between the bed and the wall. It's amazing. Yeah, we tend

270
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.519
to over use that word. This
and this one is very expensive, and

271
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:07.000
that's because they the people got mad
and they were upset, and they were

272
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:14.000
upset because they felt that the resort
should give them part of their money back

273
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:18.880
or all of their money back,
because part of going that is you're you're

274
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.960
you're buying the atmosphere and the experience, and so uh, they you know,

275
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.440
they get there and there's not a
bunch of I guess other drunk American

276
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:33.000
and British tourists and they they missed
out on the part of that, And

277
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.640
I'm like, are you insane?
Can you can you imagine showing up to

278
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:44.880
a five star all inclusive resort with
non poison alcohol and it's fully staffed it's

279
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.839
not like that time. It's not
like those weird times in COVID where you

280
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:51.519
did have to travel and there was
like if you want uh, if you

281
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:53.720
want housekeeping, let us know a
week in advance, right, that kind

282
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:59.160
of No, they were full on. They got everything they wanted. They

283
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:02.200
had the whole play, They had
a private beach, a private pool,

284
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.920
and people are upset because what they
didn't have is a bunch of other people

285
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:12.599
to talk to. Do you understand
the level of excitement and smile that would

286
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.240
cross my face? If I like
that, that would be the greatest thing

287
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.920
ever I would. I would like
I would. The only thing that would

288
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.359
concern me is I would want to
make sure nobody did show up, right,

289
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.160
So you like, oh, I'd
be concerned. Like you said the

290
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:27.240
entire time that it was like somehow
in the twilight zone or something like,

291
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.680
yeah, there's some weird dimension where
how is this happening right now? So

292
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.880
the way, here's why it's happening. By the way, So it's a

293
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.160
brand new resort. It is.
It is directly next to a very well

294
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.960
known, very high end resort.
But this is the Krem Dayly Krem version.

295
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:42.240
It has a much more limited number
of rooms. It just opened.

296
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.359
It's the middle of January, which
is a horrible, horrible travel window until

297
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.960
until you get you about February.
Most people because of Christmas. That's they're

298
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.200
just not taking these trips. They
have very low occupancy, and not all

299
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:02.640
of the suites are open yet because
they literally are. They wanted everything to

300
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:07.119
be perfect, and so the block
that they're in is open. And they

301
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.799
didn't lower their prices, which is
something that resorts do this time of the

302
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:18.519
year because of the aforementioned lull,
because their reputation they're establishing is more important

303
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.200
than discount weeks. If that's the
corner of the resort. So if you

304
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.440
want to go there and you want
the level of luxury that these two experienced,

305
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.480
then you will pay top right,
and you'll pay it all the time,

306
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:38.359
probably more during very busy seasons,
because again this they are they're looking.

307
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.480
They're I set out to do one
thing, man, and just talk

308
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.640
about how happy I would be if
I showed it Ross, if you showed

309
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:55.559
up in Disney was empty except all
the employees were there. Everybody who's supposed

310
00:26:55.559 --> 00:27:03.440
to be there is there, Just
no guess that would be the day wouldn't

311
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.319
it. I would be doing like
the Buffalo bills. Don't mention the score

312
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:08.519
thing because you don't want to jinx
it, like, don't even bring it

313
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.720
up, don't even think about it, just go and just go with it.

314
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.160
Yeah, you just like you ever
you ever ever been someplace? You

315
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:22.640
ever been on a plane alone.
I was on a flight once from like

316
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.200
Greenville to Omaha and there was like
no one on it. It was it

317
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.559
was awesome. We had a flight
for Greenville where I can't remember where I

318
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:32.720
flew out of it, but I
went to Omaha. Yeah, or maybe

319
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:33.799
I had a new hanover so I
don't know who the hell knows, but

320
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.960
yeah, yeah, and there was
you were the only one or there was

321
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.200
just a handful. There was like
maybe two or three people on it.

322
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.200
Yeah, yeah, I was.
I've been on a flight twice, commercial

323
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.759
flight twice, let's be clear,
and it was me both times. Now,

324
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:56.559
both flights were both flights were Denver
to shear It in Wyoming and so

325
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.119
and it and it all so and
it acts like a bus that route.

326
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:07.200
So you take off and you if
there's somebody on the plane where somebody needs

327
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.240
picked up in Rock Springs, then
they land in Rock Springs, and then

328
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.240
they do, and then Gillette and
then Sheridan's end of the line, they

329
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:17.400
turn around. That literally is how
it works. I was the only one

330
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.519
on a couple of those flights,
and they have you know, they obviously

331
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:23.079
they got crew, they got a
flight attendant, all that. I remember

332
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.160
the flight attendant. She just comes
over and I'm like, you don't have

333
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.400
to do anything, right, it's
fine. We talked for a little while.

334
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.640
She got me, you know,
like a soda or something to drink,

335
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.680
and she just sat there and read
a book. I'm like, this

336
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:38.160
is great, man. She's like, yeah, you sit wherever you want,

337
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.079
do whatever you want, just you
know, don't go in the cockpit

338
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.119
please. But yeah, I and
at no point, I'm like, am

339
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.279
I on the Twilight Zone. I'm
like, this is amazing because think about

340
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.000
all the stuff that irritates you about
flying, and you'll find out so much

341
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:53.640
of it as all the people around
you. So yeah, yeah, you

342
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:57.319
roll into a five star resort.
Now hold on, now, people were

343
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:02.480
not here to debate what baby move
means. I just needed a mini example,

344
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:04.960
all right, Ross, just so
you can catalog this. You don't

345
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.160
have to be pregnant. You can
also it can also be your baby moon

346
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:14.079
if it's your last trip before trying
to get pregnant. Okay, well then

347
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:17.240
why in the story or why in
this is a reference trimess. I don't

348
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:22.839
know how about this if if if
you and your your significant other want to

349
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:26.119
go on a vacation and then go, then go. And by the way,

350
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.759
you have to film everything. I
don't know if you know this,

351
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:36.720
you have to film anything. What
I'm trying to remember what I I had,

352
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.480
some somebody said something to me ross
what I'm trying to remember. What

353
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.400
photos I showed you of the glotpaghost. I showed you. I showed you

354
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.000
this the hotel dogs because I thought
that those that was insane a turtle or

355
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.920
something else. But like the if
you go over to a couple of the

356
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.319
areas there and the glopaghost because they
try to they they don't you know,

357
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.039
they don't want you to be solo
traveler. But you can kind of get

358
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:00.839
around that because I don't like to
hang out with groups and tour groups and

359
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:06.599
all that stuff. But like everybody's
taking a picture of every like a bug,

360
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.599
even a bug that we have,
and they're like if they're fascinated by

361
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.640
it, and like this lady's like, aren't you got to take a picture

362
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.440
of this? And I'm like no, I'm good, I'm fine. I

363
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:19.599
told her my phone was dying because
I didn't want to deal with that.

364
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.559
And there's like this little walk thing
you do where you can see a bunch

365
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:27.960
of cool stuff. So all right
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight

366
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.519
seven four, Yeah, that's crazy. And everyone said they're mad at the

367
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.720
resort. How dare you offer the
greatest? You know what you are.

368
00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:41.519
You're a billionaire at that point,
think about it. You're a billionaire.

369
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:42.200
Yeah. No, I'm walking around
like I'm a king. I'm like,

370
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:48.920
finally they respect that deserve you snap
your fingers alitas, which is a chicken

371
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.640
wings in Spanish. You just snap
your fingers go alitas, and they appear

372
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:55.119
in front of you because you're at
a five star whatever you want. I

373
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:57.720
would completely like fall into the role
play too. It'd be like, what

374
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.839
am I going to pretend I today? Today? I am a I'm Pablo

375
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.799
Escobar today. Oh so you know
it, just change it every day.

376
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.720
Get a hippo in the pool.
What do you want? Spot pool?

377
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:12.640
This week? You can deal with
the hippo after. Oh that's so great.

378
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.880
All right, hang on, we'll
be back. One O six one

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.839
good morning, and uh yeah,
so fifty seven CaCO Day Radio program.

382
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.480
Good. I'm glad our audience is
normal. Everyone's like, that's amazing.

383
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.160
Where's this resort? Well, the
problem is now, well it's in Mexico.

384
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:47.079
Five. The problem is now obviously
it's getting some pub because I I

385
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.200
you know what, Frankly, these
two I think are kind of I think

386
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.920
one of them thinks are an influencer. What a brilliant marketing thing that would

387
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.400
be. Ross Huh. You want
to stand out, you're a go to

388
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.440
like uh, you know, especially
like can't cut the area on, can't

389
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:02.799
coon Like you just got on the
coast and it's like it's like driving a

390
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:08.319
one A in Florida once you get
south, like you know, sunny aisles

391
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:13.079
and basically everything Miami up to,
like Palm Beach, it's just a never

392
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:20.960
ending, you know, giant beach
front in this case resorts. But yeah,

393
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.319
so alling at this guy. I
had no idea what the baby moon

394
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:29.079
was either until my wife's exected.
Well of course she did. Yeah,

395
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:34.440
take the internet away from hers her. I'm just kidding. I hope everything

396
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:39.240
worked out there with the baby,
all right, So yeah, yeah,

397
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.880
I think they're gonna do just fine. And if it was a marketing stunt,

398
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:45.720
very well done. All right.
Other stuff to get into will coming

399
00:32:45.799 --> 00:33:01.400
up that stand up run and everybody, I'm welcome. It is hour number

400
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:07.480
two and we're glad to have it
on. One hour from now. One

401
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:12.319
hour from now, we will have
Pete callaner on him. We got all

402
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.839
sorts of goodies to talk about fen
one of those weeks President's out doing his

403
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:22.359
thing. First Lady, I guess
I couldn't remember if it was yesterday or

404
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:30.119
today that the Joe Biden's in North
Carolina that's today, So hopefully her husband

405
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:36.200
doesn't need walked off a stage.
Where would he was at a brewery yesterday?

406
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:45.359
Hmm, Frost, do you ever
feel like we're piling on? I

407
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:51.319
questioned this just due to the sheer
frequency of this of these cuts, these

408
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:57.400
audio cuts, like I want to
accurately represent and if also if we find

409
00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:59.680
something funny. We're probably gonna do
it. Yeah, I mean I don't

410
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:01.200
find it funny. It funny sad
now No, no, no, I'm

411
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:05.119
not saying that we find it funny. I'm sitting here well, and there

412
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:08.719
is that transition. There is what
the funny part is. And it's not

413
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:14.239
funny in a haha way, but
it's the it's it is every day.

414
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:20.679
It is a giant reminder of the
double standard right in in coverage with that's

415
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.480
going on here and they and as
I think you said at one time,

416
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:30.519
it is the real world representation of
that meme with the where he's like in

417
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:32.360
the fire room and he's like,
oh it's fine, right, and as

418
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:37.079
what the media does every day,
but also the people around him here he

419
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.679
is in a brewery yesterday and again, as I said before, listen to

420
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.480
the audience. Look hold on,
yeah all right, so here we go,

421
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.400
but bar listen to the audience.
It is used to make the crew

422
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:54.039
beard and the fire ooh Worth rider, thanks for the great lakes. I

423
00:34:54.079 --> 00:35:02.840
wonder what I at least yesterday I
could try to figure out what he's sitting

424
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.079
there saying. But also you know
what it felt like? You felt like

425
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:12.800
a rock star saying the town's name
he's in right because gets no reaction until

426
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.920
he says the name of the brewery, and then everybody's very jovial about it.

427
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:21.320
Also, I kind of they probably
have a choca choca chocolate chip beer

428
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:27.239
or something, which probably is true
because some of you casual beer lovers,

429
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.760
with your pumpkin spice and Christmas nutmeg
stuff, you've ruined beer or at least

430
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:36.079
tap space where valuable good beer could
be. But that's a constant problem.

431
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:43.719
So uh, but there he was, and again he's running again. So

432
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.840
this is where we are. Let
me let me do this. Let me

433
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:51.079
grab a quick call here. We're
talking about that resort insanity. Yeah,

434
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:53.840
Chris, what's up? Hey,
good morning, case, thanks checking my

435
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:58.280
call. I was just commenting on
the Mexican thing for the resort. It

436
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:02.719
sounds like Cartman Land where they where
Cartman didn't want anybody going to his car

437
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:08.480
or his Yeah, because then the
whole spent the whole episodes on them.

438
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:10.800
They can't come in because he was
mad he had to wait at the other

439
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.079
one. That was a great episode. Yeah, right, so that's a

440
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.000
stroke of marketing genius. I'll tell
you the whole world turning into a South

441
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:21.719
Park episode. Man, I'm just
again the reason I'm doing the story is

442
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:25.480
it's like, what are you complaining
about? This is right? This is

443
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:30.559
you have all it's yours and they
have nothing else to do but wait on

444
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:35.840
you hand and foot and complain about
it. And yeah and again, I

445
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.039
don't know that they're complaining as much
as some people, but the reaction and

446
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:42.599
thank you for the call there,
sorry, appreciate it. The reaction just

447
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.639
blew me away. You know,
you know what one of the most exclusive

448
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:52.000
resorts in the world is just from
a from a cost standpoint having to get

449
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:58.559
there, right, it's in French
Polynesia. But it's not Tahiti, though

450
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:04.920
obviously there's some really impressive stuff.
It is a different island. Is actually

451
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.000
it is Is it in Polynesias?
And well it's it's out in that area

452
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:14.039
and the island is called the brand
O. It's amazing. I've never been

453
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.159
there. I will not be affording
that in my lifetime, I'm pretty sure,

454
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.719
but it's the Brando and it is
this beautiful private island and you know,

455
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.400
you know what it looks like there
with the you know, the stilled

456
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:30.519
houses that you see over in in
the resorts normally over there where you're out

457
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:34.880
over this beautiful, beautiful water.
Well, it is its own kind of

458
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.639
a toll there, but it was. It was a private island owned by

459
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:42.960
Marlon Brando. And in fact,
I remember I remember reading something that said

460
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:46.360
after he acquired the island, he
became difficult to work with because he didn't

461
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:51.960
want to leave. I had never
heard that. I thought he was wonderful

462
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.719
to work with at all times.
But I digress. Now, that island

463
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.880
is a super exclusive to the point
where you can you can be the only

464
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:06.039
person there if you've got the jack
for it. So and so, you

465
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:09.360
know somebody is willing to pay a
week's vacation that is, uh, what

466
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:15.480
your home's worth. That's what they'd
have to do it you paid what maybe

467
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:17.519
six hundred a night or something down
there, one thousand a night if it's

468
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:22.880
really really upper end. Shut up, man, shut up and enjoy it,

469
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:27.440
all right. I gotta, I
gotta, I gotta pivot to something

470
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.400
I spend the whole time on that. That's a yeah, Ross, that's

471
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.639
a good point. Instead of waiting
for Disney not to have you should build

472
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:37.559
your own theme park. Man,
on you're up at the compound there,

473
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.280
and then those poor bastards in the
new condos that have to watch you through

474
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.079
the window having fun and there's nothing
they could do right good and they can't

475
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:45.440
come in. They can't come in. Yeah, yeah, you could have

476
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:50.440
signage. You could. Literally people
have started moving in there. People have

477
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.760
started moving in there now and to
hate it. Oh no, like because

478
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.800
and like none of them, like
they don't have like drapes up reately,

479
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:00.480
It's they're just one. I'm like, and I'm like, I I'm definitely

480
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:04.000
putting drapes over this window now,
like something over it. Don't you look

481
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.880
it in my kitchen. It's weird. I don't know why you you would

482
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:12.280
spend that much money, Like these
are like four hundreds yeah, I'm not

483
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.480
kidding you. Yeah, but they
started. They they're like townhouses like three

484
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.679
four level and they start at four
hundred thousand. And your your view on

485
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.760
your balcony is my backyard in my
tiny house. What are you doing,

486
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:29.679
dude? You gotta start doing weird
stuff? Man, completely, I want

487
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.039
and just like all right, so
we'll just come up with stuff. Here's

488
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:39.719
number one. Once it gets dark
tonight, go out there dragging a giant

489
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:43.760
sack and maybe you know, I
want to be heavy. It's got to

490
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:45.679
be it's got to look like you
maybe fit a body in there and then

491
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:52.840
just start digging a hole. That's
all. Or or or dig a hole

492
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:57.360
and maybe I could like conceal it. And they're like stumble across and start,

493
00:39:57.800 --> 00:39:59.480
you know, taking stuff out of
it, like, oh my god,

494
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:01.119
I fund this whole? What is
this right? You know what I

495
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:06.079
mean? Or make it look like
you struck oil, right, yeah,

496
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:12.280
or something. I don't know,
man, because the likelihood is considering their

497
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.960
housing style, they probably don't have
mineral rights or even own the land underneath

498
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:20.320
them, so so they when you
have access to the oil, it's just

499
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:24.360
you looking like you're getting ready to
move to Beverly Hills. Oh, speaking

500
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:29.960
of speaking of country, to to
Hollywood. All right, So check this

501
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:38.320
out. A North Carolina legend has
passed away. Herbert Cowboy Coward, Cowboy

502
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:44.360
coward you know who that is or
who that was? Coward? Uh from

503
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:52.400
Clyde, North Carolina played toothless man. That's how it's written in Deliverance.

504
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:57.679
He was the He was the toothless
dude who wanted to welcome the canoe guy

505
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.719
or the vacationers in the did they
welcome him? I think they did.

506
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:07.239
It was that's been a while since
I've seen the movie. Yeah, the

507
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:13.760
seven let's see. No, the
eighty five year old had left a doctor's

508
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.480
office in a vehicle that was being
driven by his seventy eight year old girl,

509
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.199
Robin the Cradle, Good for you
guys, seventy eight year old girlfriend,

510
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:30.760
Bertha Brooks, and sadly they got
an accident and were killed. In

511
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:38.599
fact, they were killed along with
the woman's chihuahua and coward's pet squirrel,

512
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:43.719
which were in the vehicle at the
time. And I'm not an accident investigator,

513
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:49.480
so before I figure out exactly what
happened here by continuing to read is

514
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:53.960
at this moment I'm like, again, not an accident investigator, but you

515
00:41:54.119 --> 00:42:00.760
had a chihuahua and a pet squirrel
in a car together. Is it wrong

516
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.760
to think that may have contributed?
I don't. It doesn't look like it

517
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:09.719
probably was, but like just the
imagery of that, Like if you told

518
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:15.239
me you were gonna put a chihuahua
and a squirrel in a confined space together,

519
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.599
I would I would say you should
rethink stuff. Who knows. Maybe

520
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:24.039
they loved each other. But like
dogs and squirrels, I can't even imagine.

521
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.599
I haven't been around a chihuahua when
it's seen a squirrel, I gotta

522
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:31.239
think it would be losing its mind
ross you had chihuahuas. If you were

523
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:34.920
to PLoP a squirrel in the middle
of the living room when you had the

524
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.239
three of them, is that Is
that a calm moment in your house?

525
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:43.280
If it wasn't my house, it
might be the greatest thing ever. If

526
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.480
it wasn't your house. Yeah,
right, if I could just watch it

527
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.719
be destroyed slowly, you know,
maybe like my one of my enemies,

528
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:54.639
or or maybe you need to start
seeding chihuahuas into the town homes and then

529
00:42:54.840 --> 00:43:00.000
at the right moment drop a couple
of squirrels in there, and then from

530
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.639
your kitchen window with no blinds,
you can watch, and since they have

531
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:07.599
no blinds, you'll see it all. Oh man, that's so country man.

532
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:10.119
He's got his pet squirrel. He's
just packing it around. She's got

533
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:15.280
her chihuahua. Sadly, though,
it appears a pickup truck driven by a

534
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:23.199
sixteen year old struck the vehicle as
it so the way it looks is this

535
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:28.239
the couple was leaving and they pulled
out and they didn't I guess they probably

536
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:34.719
maybe they didn't see the I guess
they obviously didn't see because it says here

537
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.679
in the report the sixteen year old
was not speeding. It doesn'tok like he

538
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:39.760
was sighted for anything. It was
just a It sounds like it was a

539
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:45.800
tragic accident. It may have been
distracted. Again. The chihuahua squirrel thing

540
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:49.440
is is weird. But I don't
know, but I could see how that

541
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:53.280
might be a distraction. We're just
like, shut up, please, because

542
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:58.400
dogs love to You know what happens
when your dog sees a squirrel a thousand

543
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.400
feet from your house just glancing out
a window. You think you were being

544
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:08.760
burglarized. Coward actually got his act
I love this, by the way.

545
00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:12.920
So do you know how he got
his acting start. He got his acting

546
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:17.559
star way back in the day working
at a wild West themed amusement park.

547
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.440
This is in Maggie Valley. It
was a ghost town in the skies.

548
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:27.280
I'm sure is that still there.
I don't even know if that's still there.

549
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.719
But he he would do shootouts.
He was a shootout actor and he

550
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:32.239
had to quick draw and he had
all of that, and I guess Burt

551
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.400
Reynolds came to the resort and he's
like, hey, I want to put

552
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.159
you in the movies. So there
you go. Little story there, and

553
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:45.239
obviously they had a sad ending,
but I wanted to throw that in there

554
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:47.440
because I found it interesting. All
right, seven eighteen, we're going to

555
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:53.039
take a break, come back.
We got this Vince McMahon's story, and

556
00:44:53.320 --> 00:45:00.719
you ready for this. Somebody's going
to jail for defying a congressional subpoena.

557
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:07.119
It's happening. I think kind of
maybe we'll fill you next. Hang on

558
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:15.119
your Day Smarter one six one FM
Talk and News Talk ninety four w PTI

559
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:23.400
More with Casey starts now seven four
Friday Morning. Glad to have you along

560
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:29.360
phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. That'll get

561
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.679
you up on the show. And
reminder eight oh five in that window.

562
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:36.920
Obviously we'll be chatting with Pete Calender, but you know, a bunch of

563
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.480
other stuff. Glad to have you
way in on. All right, let's

564
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:46.840
let's just dive right into this story. And it's a weird one, and

565
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:52.679
you know, there's elements of the
me too stuff. There's also questions because

566
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:57.360
it's not it's like a civil thing
and is you know, some people are

567
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.360
claiming it's a nuisance suit. Others
are saying that, you know, Vince

568
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:05.119
McMahon should be criminally investigated. I'm
not here to take a position on that.

569
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:09.519
Admittedly I don't know all the details, but the ones that I do

570
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:16.239
know make it sounds like there was
a resolution and then McMahon didn't pay and

571
00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:22.239
now there's a lot. The whole
thing is just strange. So again,

572
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:24.599
I'm gonna get into that, and
we're gonna do that at seven thirty five

573
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:29.920
because there's a lot here. But
let me grab a quick phone call,

574
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:35.800
real quick, don what's up?
Good morning, Casey, just calling in

575
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:39.000
to let you know that I'm listening
from day one a just around both are

576
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:44.960
his own, loving you guys.
I was telling her as I listen in

577
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.079
every morning, I don't understand why
you guys don't have a national radio gig,

578
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.639
because it's really amazing what the two
of you do together, ma'am,

579
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:58.480
ma'am. We would like an international
radio gig. They should have to they

580
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:01.800
should be forced to listen to us
every week. So but well that may

581
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.920
be true. Let's just get started
on a national level first, and not

582
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:10.840
seriously. I really do enjoy you
guys. It's it's humorous but informative and

583
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:16.440
without all the snark, and you
and Oss together are just it's brilliant.

584
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:20.000
Well thank you. Are you going
to comment on the resort? So?

585
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.079
Uh, you'd be down with that, right, especially around Boca? I

586
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:27.119
mean yeah, so elbow to elbow
down there. Well, that's what I'm

587
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:30.480
saying. I would love to be
on a private island resort without anyone else

588
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:35.199
around, Are you kidding? Yeah, I might set up defensive perimeters so

589
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:39.039
that nobody comes in. This is
really I mean your Mexico. You probably

590
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:45.480
have easy access to any of the
weapons you'd need, so well, everybody

591
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:50.400
down here is pretty loaded up too, So yeah, but yeah, whoo,

592
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:53.639
who in the right mind wouldn't want
to be on a private in a

593
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:59.480
private setting without having to listen to
all the duleads and the speaker funds don't

594
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:01.880
get done. I think, well, there, look people, and I'm

595
00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:05.559
not even gonna make it. This
just a generational thing. Some people are

596
00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:08.840
introverts, some are extroverts, and
some people, you know, they're the

597
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:14.119
ones who are generally really chatty on
a plane or at a resort or something

598
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:16.800
like. They crave having that social
contact because it's part of who they are.

599
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:22.320
So it's pretty jarring when it's not, Whereas I usually go into the

600
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.280
woods for a week, right,
right, So it's like, yeah,

601
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:30.039
I mean that was That's fine.
I'm happy, so yeah, but it

602
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:31.480
was just the people who were upset. Thanks for the call so much,

603
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:35.679
don We're so glad you're listening down
there, and we're so sorry about all

604
00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:39.280
the Florida demand stories. But that's
not on us because y'all just keep producing.

605
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:43.840
But yeah, so it depends on
the kind of person you are.

606
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:45.159
That's why when I saw this story, I'm like, Ross and I would

607
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:50.599
love this. I'd be mad if
I showed up and Ross was there,

608
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:58.119
and I'm assuming vice versa. Right, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

609
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:00.920
what's the old line? I would
not be I would not want to be

610
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:02.440
a member of a club who would
have me as a member or something,

611
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:08.400
right in this case, I don't
want to go to a resort for keeping

612
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:14.519
you connected. This is ninety four
or five WPTI and the Triad and one

613
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:19.599
six one FM Talk and the Triangle, all right, hold on, hold

614
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:22.480
on, that blew my mind.
You should have led with that. So

615
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.280
we just we just got fact checked. Yeah, yeah, my bad.

616
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:29.239
Yeah, my wife is completely correct. Yeah. The actual value of the

617
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:32.360
townhouses they built behind my tiny shoe
box of a hole down into your shack.

618
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:40.760
Yeah, seven hundred thousand, seven
hundred for all of them, right

619
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:46.159
you have. Hey, they come
with a garage. So yeah, it's

620
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:50.280
how many units are there? I'm
surprised, not eight hundred and fifty thousand.

621
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:53.000
How many units? Yeah, the
entire block, I don't know,

622
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:59.119
maybe three, four or five,
twelve, maybe twelve, So sweat twelve

623
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:02.880
condos for seven hundred thousand doesn't sound
bad. Wait, you know what is

624
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:05.840
that? What is that divided by
twelve? No? No, no,

625
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:09.320
no, that's per, that's per
it's every Oh my god, it's not

626
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:14.159
a total. They didn't think that
was possible for there. I mean,

627
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:15.280
look, yeah, I will say
this. I'm not going to give out

628
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:20.519
where you live, but you're not
out in the boonies, so you know

629
00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:22.440
there is some value I guess there
to be able to walk this stuff.

630
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:27.840
But still, oh, it's crazy
and all the tax stuff's about to get

631
00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:30.960
crazy. And you know, here's
the thing, you know, it used

632
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.920
to be some municipalities would have they
would have a taxable amount. Right,

633
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:39.599
So if you were a municipality and
you know that, and you needed a

634
00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:43.760
million dollars, let's go the round
number. A million dollars to run the

635
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:49.880
functions of government and and a million
dollars from property taxes, then you would

636
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:52.119
go, all right, we need
a million dollars, and then utilizing the

637
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:55.679
values of each of the homes within
the community, they would be assigned a

638
00:50:55.719 --> 00:51:00.000
percentage of that, and then that's
how you would arrive at that that way

639
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:07.119
of doing it. The other way
is the dumb way where they're like where

640
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:08.119
you kind of figure out what you
need it to be, and then when

641
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:13.320
values of homes go up, you
just add more taxes to those homes.

642
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:19.400
But the chances are if there is
massive, a massive increase in home prices,

643
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:22.000
it's probably across the board, and
then all of a sudden you're getting

644
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:24.760
a lot more taxes. So yeah, it'll come down to how we got

645
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:28.199
used to structure. We got there
just because your value it used to be.

646
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.000
In some places, just because the
value of your home, if everybody

647
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:34.320
also went up, your share probably
didn't change. Does that make sense?

648
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:37.599
Yeah, we got that notice from
the from the county. Yeah, a

649
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:39.480
property tax where you know, you
pay whatever it is. It goes into

650
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.679
your mortgage every month. And they're
like, hey, by the way,

651
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:46.079
your property value has doubled, so
your tax is going to double or whatever.

652
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.400
Ridiculous. Yeah, and it's like, well why would it doube?

653
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:50.800
And then you look at the back
here, and you're like, oh,

654
00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:53.239
what's that thing blocking at the sun. It's a seven hundred thousand dollars townhouse

655
00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:58.119
with a garage. They done,
Yeah, you can park your car right

656
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.239
there. I think maybe so option. I don't know. Are they made

657
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:06.039
of gold inside? What is?
Are they like a Stanley cup where there's

658
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:08.320
no I'm just saying, if you
can afford a seven hundred thousand dollars townhouse,

659
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:12.320
I would assume you can also afford
blinds and close them and stop looking

660
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:16.079
into my kitchen. I'm just what
do you Oh no, man, you

661
00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:21.440
turning into porch dude, and you're
fully just completely yeah, you're fully justified.

662
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.079
Oh man, you gotta be out
there like uh the that you know

663
00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:30.039
that Simpson's meme man yells at clouds. It's literally it started like killing the

664
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:35.000
grass in my backyard because the grass
is not getting the sun anymore because it's

665
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:40.519
blocked out by the townhouse. Oh
man, it's just turning into mud,

666
00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:45.079
I imagine. So well, that's
where the pit has to go and the

667
00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:50.840
wrestling and then we'll have tour.
Yeah, oh man, that's you know

668
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:52.400
what, that's another good point.
You should start pulling random stuff out,

669
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:59.119
Like you said, you have to
get you dinosaur skull, cursed voodoo bones.

670
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:02.159
Yeah, no, you got to
go full black sarcophagus. They need

671
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:06.039
to be staring out the window when
he cracked that bad boy and start drinking

672
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:10.320
the bone juice. They'll move,
they'll move. No, they'll probably banded

673
00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:14.880
together and have you thrown out of
there somehow. But he got options.

674
00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:17.440
Now, if you are going to
do mud wrestling in your yard because an

675
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:22.960
iore has blotted, your son and
your family will now suffer calcium deficiency as

676
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:30.840
a result. Probably you know,
you got you're competing against uh you know,

677
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:36.199
WWE, UFC, all of that
stuff. Although one of those one

678
00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:39.679
of those groups in a little bit
of turmoil right now. Vince McMahon.

679
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:45.440
Now again I don't know fully what
happened. You're talking about civil stuff here,

680
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:52.280
but holy crap, the information that
was released. Janelle Grant, she's

681
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:55.960
the one that provided her name.
It's gonna be abundantly clear, has decided

682
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:01.199
to break her silence about the relationship
and uh Levy some significant allegations, but

683
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:07.159
also understand that right now she had
a deal, or she says she had

684
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.719
a deal behind closed doors where McMahon
was going to pay her three million dollars

685
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:15.440
and then she received the first million
and then crickets. So that's why she

686
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:19.880
says she's suing now. But she
also is speaking. Previous to this,

687
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:23.639
she had not documented other than individual
a very generic way, which she said,

688
00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:30.559
we're troubling incidents, according to Grant, and I'm gonna have to dance

689
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:37.639
around here the wrestling magnet Ross.
I don't think I can talk about the

690
00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:42.800
one thing right with the where there
was the three people in no way,

691
00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:45.880
there's no way I could talk about
it. But let's just say it's really

692
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:52.880
gross. Okay, We're gonna tweet
tweet the New York Post article out and

693
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:54.480
then it's right there in the headline. I just I don't feel like I

694
00:54:54.519 --> 00:55:00.480
need to get into that particular.
I don't know if there it was two

695
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:02.039
girls, if there was a cup
infall, I'll let you figure it out,

696
00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:06.840
all right anyway, So with that, please don't drive off the road.

697
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.960
But then it just gets weird,
like Prince Andrew weird, and I

698
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:15.159
want to be clear, I'm not
there's no allegations to McMahon did anything with

699
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:19.880
anyone in underage or sounds like.
It's not like the vibe there was a

700
00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:24.199
very party atmosphere, which I'm shocked
was something that was surrounding pro wrestling.

701
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:30.760
But remember, like my weird one
of the weirdest things about the Prince Andrew

702
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:35.480
was the allegations that he had a
hand puppet of himself that he would use

703
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:42.360
to touch the underage girls. That's
like, that's like a weird level of

704
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.000
strange there. It's not the worst
thing that he's accused of doing, but

705
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:51.400
come on, man. So in
the lawsuit, she goes on to point

706
00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:57.519
out that it was also kind of
what was the what's the stupid movie that

707
00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:02.719
all the women liked? Where it
had Dakota whatever her name is in there?

708
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:06.840
Great as No, it was the
book series. Why can I not

709
00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:10.559
remember with the damn fifty Shades of
Gray? Oh, I'd almost purshed it

710
00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:15.119
from my brain. I was doing
so well. It kind of had that

711
00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:19.239
vibe. She alleges that McMahon it
seems like they had like a dom submissive

712
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:22.800
kind of thing going on, and
as part of it, McMahon would send

713
00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:27.079
her text messages saying I'm the only
one who owns you. So there is

714
00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:36.320
dispute over the text that she provided, which also involved her participating in adult

715
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:39.559
acts, not just with McMahon,
but McMahon and others or individually. She

716
00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:43.599
might be told, hey, you
know, go take care of this executive.

717
00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:53.840
But then we get to hear McMahon
was also, according to Grant,

718
00:56:54.400 --> 00:57:15.519
had an entire collection of adult toys, each themed on a different wrestler finger

719
00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:20.599
on the button. I mean that
would have to be one, right,

720
00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:23.079
if you're making a list there.
I mean, I'm not saying I've made

721
00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:31.079
one, but well why wow,
Okay, no, you know, no,

722
00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:35.320
you're not gonna want to know consider
any catchphrase. Probably don't want to

723
00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:43.800
bring that into the bedroom with that. No, Oh my gosh, No,

724
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:47.239
dude, if if you're if,
if you know this going on,

725
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:51.559
and he has what you don't want
the razor like that would be off putting

726
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:55.519
the razor ramon. Come on,
man, this is still going in the

727
00:57:55.519 --> 00:58:00.679
best of category. No, no, what all right? If you had

728
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:06.639
to pick one, I'm just I
met the Rick Flair ones interesting, but

729
00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:08.639
the rais of ramone one that just
sounds like a horrible, horrible idea.

730
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:17.280
So that's just weird, man.
And when you say that they are let

731
00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:27.079
me read the actual language adult items
that were fashioned after and named after individual

732
00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:37.079
wrestling stars. I don't even know
what to say about that other than Roscott

733
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:39.920
to play all of his Oh that's
the other thing. When you take it

734
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:45.719
out of the drawer or the weird
closet or the whatever, you have to

735
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:52.960
have the walk On going right.
Wait, was he sitting in the room

736
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:55.480
too, Oh, that'd be weird. No, But if you remove one

737
00:58:55.519 --> 00:59:00.360
of these items, right, you
have to over some sort of I'm sure,

738
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:04.760
massive stereo system because he's really rich. Like you got to play the

739
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:07.679
walk On music for it, right, And that's one of the positives of

740
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:08.960
owning the rights to it. Yeah, Yeah, that's a good point.

741
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:16.239
Yeah, write no copyright issues when
you're grabbing the razor ramone. Also,

742
00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:20.880
if you are a wrestler and you
find out that you are not among the

743
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:32.440
individualized ones. Do you feel like
McMahon never really liked you or you got

744
00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:35.599
it all out your system? Are
you? Yeah? I feel great?

745
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:42.679
Okay, good. Yeah. It
doesn't have a list of all the different

746
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:46.880
ones there. I'm just saying,
like I have, I have some some

747
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:52.480
questions. But if you had to
convince me that it was, as they

748
00:59:52.480 --> 01:00:00.000
say, a fratish atmosphere around there, I would probably believe you because it

749
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:05.840
is what it is. But again, this is this is civil stuff.

750
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.320
It's just really strange, and it's
having the added the effect that she wanted

751
01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:14.800
right throwing it on out there,
and uh, you know they didn't if

752
01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:17.760
if they agreed to pay her three
million, whether they was just hey,

753
01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:21.480
go away because we want to deal
with this, or if they actually think

754
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:25.159
that she deserved it for whatever.
I wasn't behind the scenes. But if

755
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:28.400
you say you're going to pay three
million, you only pay a million,

756
01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:31.880
what did you think was gonna happen? Just contemplate that, all right?

757
01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:36.719
Rased Agic from the Weather Channel.
He's here that make man's stories crazy.

758
01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:37.480
I'm not going to drag you in, you but I'm sure you've seen it

759
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:40.360
right. No, Yeah, that
was a good listening though, I mean

760
01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:45.239
I was enjoying. I think,
well, I'm going to drag you into

761
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:53.280
games. Yes, the Razor Ramonau
so yeah, yeah, it's not going

762
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:58.000
to do any of that. We
will see better weather, yeah, we

763
01:00:58.079 --> 01:01:00.400
talked about it yesterday that things would
get better. Is going to take a

764
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:04.400
few days. A lot of clouds
today, most of the showers now pushing

765
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:07.199
east of the triangle. Up sixties, low seventies today, So might get

766
01:01:07.199 --> 01:01:09.880
close to a couple of records.
I'll get them for you next hour.

767
01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:15.280
See if we can see how close
those numbers are. Tonight slight chance of

768
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:16.599
showers really not much for your Friday
night out in terms of rain, but

769
01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:22.039
staying mild too, mid fifties tomorrow
little mid sixties, better chance of rain

770
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:25.559
probably it's going to be midday into
the afternoon, so try it first and

771
01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:30.440
through the triangle because the system's coming
from west southwest to north northeast, so

772
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:32.639
thatn'll make sense, right, And
the showers and maybe even a thunder stom

773
01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:37.440
will continue tomorrow night into Saturday into
Sunday mid day, excuse me. And

774
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:39.280
then the next change will come in
with some drier air, cooler air for

775
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:44.239
early next week more like normal.
Plenty of sunny days coming up through Wednesday

776
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:46.599
in the fifties, overnight lows back
down in the thirties, might be a

777
01:01:46.599 --> 01:01:49.960
couple of nights in the upper twenties, especially early in the week. But

778
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:52.039
it does look like we'll get out
of this kind of this jam that we're

779
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:57.440
in right now. Casee you get
to some beautiful weather starting Monday. I

780
01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:00.360
won't say Sunday. There might be
some drier air Sunday, but especially Monday,

781
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:04.559
big area high pressure coming in and
it should dominate most of the week.

782
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:07.760
So hang in there, okay,
all right, appreciate it. We'll

783
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:09.719
talking an hour, sir, Thank
you very much. Okay when we come

784
01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:16.440
back. Well, a couple things, Oh Ross, you're partially to blame

785
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:21.239
for this. Did you see what's
Do you see what's now? Congress?

786
01:02:21.519 --> 01:02:25.360
You have members of Congress saying they're
going to do something over people using AI

787
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:34.079
to manipulate Taylor Swift. No,
I've not seen that. You wouldn't know

788
01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:37.440
anyone who's done anything like that.
Okay, all right, because they're very

789
01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:42.840
they're big bad. So I'll explain
next hang on. So after the show's

790
01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:46.000
on the iHeart Radio app. He
searched Casey O Day for the podcast on

791
01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:52.400
the iHeart Radio app A little bit
of House You've been here, Ross,

792
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:57.599
I got a message from some of
the bosses wanting to know if we have

793
01:02:57.639 --> 01:03:01.880
any interest in going to the d
n C and r n C. You

794
01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:07.920
remember last time around we were actually
we were putting together all of our broadcast

795
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:15.119
coverage plans for Charlotte. Uh.
We you know, that's a pretty big

796
01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:17.960
operation. Is we had stations all
over the country, so we get everything.

797
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:21.920
We were all ready to go,
and then obviously, you know,

798
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:27.840
everything happened, so we found ourselves
not doing that. It's been a while,

799
01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:32.039
but yeah, So do you have
any interest in going on to Chicago

800
01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:37.760
in mid July to the Democratic National
Convention. I mean, I mean it

801
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:44.639
has a history of Chicago. Yeah, it's one of the yes Chicago read

802
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:47.920
that. I'm i gotta look at
my I'm very busy. I'm sure you

803
01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:57.079
can't go to can't go to Chicago
for a Democratic I mean, what's the

804
01:03:57.079 --> 01:04:00.199
worst that could happen? Sure to
be fine. The Republic was in Milwaukee,

805
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:05.559
which ain't much better actually right now, although I did like Millwake,

806
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:10.960
there was this Milwaukee the other thing
I kind of liked about Milwaukee is one

807
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:14.400
of the politicians up there. He
was at the fair and he saw some

808
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:15.840
dude to costing a woman. He
went over and just beat the crap out

809
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.039
of him, and they partially beat
him up because there was a group of

810
01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:21.519
them, but he's just like,
yeah, we don't put our hands on

811
01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:27.079
women. He went old school,
and he got a little us, got

812
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:30.039
a little heroic story for a moment, and then he did something I can't

813
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:33.239
remember, some scandal, but so
all right, I'm gonna put us down

814
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:39.840
for probably not. I mean,
sure, it's nice. Actually Chicago mid

815
01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:43.559
July. I've been to July fourth
in Chicago because they have this big Taste

816
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:50.159
of Chicago thing. I went to
and it was so miserable the humidity in

817
01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:55.679
you know, July right there.
It was You're at a food festival,

818
01:04:55.719 --> 01:04:57.800
but you're so hot, you know, want to eat anything, and if

819
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:00.880
you did, it would cash you
like forty bucks now throw in I don't

820
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:04.320
know all the protesters and as Ross
mentioned a little bit of history, and

821
01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:10.559
God help us as to where that
might have gone. All right, so

822
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:16.480
apparently now because I guess it wasn't
a problem before or not one that people

823
01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:20.159
could rally around. But now that
it's Taylor Swift, here we go.

824
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:29.320
Several lawmakers and advocates say it is
time to crack down on AI deep fakes

825
01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:40.199
after Taylor Swift AI fakes emerged.
I can't believe somebody would make an AI

826
01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:45.840
fake Taylor Swift. Yeah, they're
discussing right the pornographic AI images of Taylor

827
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:53.000
Swift. They were hitting and listen. Perhaps I created one that was her

828
01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:56.519
eating chicken wings in Buffalo where she
was morbidly obese, but they were not

829
01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:00.519
pornographic food porn perhaps, well,
it depends on how you feel about wings,

830
01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:04.840
right and right? Yeah, yeah, no, I know that overall

831
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:11.639
unbiased opinion, not guilty unbiased opinion
here to your point, yes, really

832
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:16.400
what drove this is AI Taylor Swift
adult stuff. But it's like everything with

833
01:06:16.519 --> 01:06:21.039
government. Uh, we're watching this
show. The stuff they're doing over in

834
01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:27.039
the EU right now is insane.
And do you know, have you followed

835
01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:30.760
what's going on in Poland? The
the the prime minister, the new Prime

836
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:35.000
Minister of Poland who is not of
the Conservative Party, Uh, there is.

837
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:40.119
He came in and he just started
firing people. He's not allowed to

838
01:06:40.119 --> 01:06:44.119
fire start doing stuff. He jailed
some people. It's and he did it

839
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:47.320
under the purview of I need to
do this to protect democracy. Does that

840
01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:51.920
sound familiar? So the president of
Poland, who is the could you know

841
01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:57.840
is the Conservative Party over there?
Like it's crazy, he just fired a

842
01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:00.039
bunch of his people, which he
can't do. The even the even the

843
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:02.559
media is like, yeah, you
can't do that, buddy, and the

844
01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:06.840
President's that you can't do that,
and the guys like I'm restoring democracy.

845
01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:11.760
He's trying to purge the president's party, which, by the way, do

846
01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:15.960
you know what the do you know
what the Conservative Party in uh Poland is

847
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:20.760
called? It's spelled it's a The
acronym is p I S S Party.

848
01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:26.599
Ross google that, will you P
I S S Party? Because I'm sure

849
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:30.280
as hell not saying that party name
on the air. But yeah, things

850
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.159
are breaking down and part of it
is AI stuff and much more we'll get

851
01:07:33.159 --> 01:07:43.960
into. We got Pete calendar next. Hang on, all right, good

852
01:07:43.960 --> 01:07:50.079
morning and happy Friday. And it's
not a billion degrees below zero or anything

853
01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:55.079
this last week and now warm weather
we're chat with race stage is coming up

854
01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:59.119
a little later. Unfortunately, some
rain to go along with it, but

855
01:07:59.400 --> 01:08:01.960
it is fri and uh, we
do this thing in the third hour where

856
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:06.599
we hang out for a little while
with Pete Calender, Pete Midday's wb Key

857
01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:12.599
and Charlotte and how you doing this
morning? Sir? What's up? Hey?

858
01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:15.519
I'm doing it right? How are
you? You know? It's good?

859
01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:18.239
It's good we do this on a
Friday and not a Monday. I

860
01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:26.199
feel like our attitudes would be mildly
different. Although Mondays can be fun sometimes

861
01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:30.640
because craziness over the weekend. But
yeah, yeah, anyway, but you

862
01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:35.279
Fridays there's hope and stuff. So
oh oh, that's that's interesting. You

863
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:39.680
have hope today. I do have
hope today? Are you not? Do

864
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:43.520
you not? Because you know,
there's some guys that do what we do

865
01:08:43.720 --> 01:08:47.319
and I just feel like they never
come out of the pit, do you

866
01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:49.560
know what I mean? And don't
get you're wrong if you want to be

867
01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:54.079
in the pit, it's easy to
be in the pit and all the time,

868
01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:58.119
and like if I don't find one
or two things that are just not

869
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:01.640
that for a few minutes, because
it's really it's really easy to like,

870
01:09:01.720 --> 01:09:04.079
look at the border. I saw
you were going back and forth with some

871
01:09:04.199 --> 01:09:09.079
moonbat on Twitter and right, do
you all have I do? Do you

872
01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:13.760
believe I live? Do you believe
that the majority of Biden supporters actually think

873
01:09:13.880 --> 01:09:17.640
the border is fine? I don't
know that I believe that. Yeah,

874
01:09:17.720 --> 01:09:25.279
I don't. I try not to
ascribe motive to people, and I try

875
01:09:25.279 --> 01:09:29.840
to give people the benefit of the
doubt. It's particularly hard on social media

876
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:32.439
to do that because you you know, you lose a lot of inflection if

877
01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:35.479
you're you know, talking to them
like on the radio or over the phone.

878
01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:41.399
You can't read facial expressions because you're
not in person with them. So

879
01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:46.880
it's difficult. But when you see
people making these arguments that we're now seeing

880
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:51.479
over the last you know, twenty
four to forty eight hours, that you

881
01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:58.399
know, Texas is defying the US
Supreme Court, which it's not, or

882
01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:01.840
that like you said, the border
is secure, and that Texas is murdering

883
01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:09.560
women and children with their razor wire
and stuff. I again, I try

884
01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:13.880
to give them the benefit of the
doubt, and I assume that they are

885
01:10:13.960 --> 01:10:21.199
simply regurgitating the only talking points and
stories that are fed to them by the

886
01:10:21.239 --> 01:10:27.920
Democrats and the media that I repeat
myself. And that's why they believe their

887
01:10:27.960 --> 01:10:31.399
cause is just you know, for
example, they they're hammering away at Congress,

888
01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:35.560
the Congressional Republicans for not being willing
to secure the border. They rejected

889
01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:39.119
this border deal. First off,
we don't even know what the deal is,

890
01:10:39.439 --> 01:10:43.199
right, nobody has. Nobody has
seen any of the write up on

891
01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:47.800
what they're they're hashing out behind closed
doors among some of the top Republican and

892
01:10:48.159 --> 01:10:50.840
Democrat legislative leaders. So we don't
know that, first of all. But

893
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:59.640
more importantly, Joe Biden can simply
reinstitute the policies he dismantled on his first

894
01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:06.520
day office that would automatically immediately reduce
the flow. Because the people are coming

895
01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:13.880
for a rational reason. They believe
correctly that if they get across and they

896
01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:17.479
say I'm yeah, I'm a seeking
asylum, because if I go back,

897
01:11:17.520 --> 01:11:20.319
I'm going to be killed, right, and that's all they need to say.

898
01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:26.319
They are then processed and released into
the society, and they are given

899
01:11:26.399 --> 01:11:30.640
court dates of you know, seven
eight years down the road. These people

900
01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:34.199
will never be sent back and they
know this, and so they are acting

901
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:40.039
in a rational manner trying to get
into America in the way that is most

902
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:45.239
you know accessible for them to do
so. Meanwhile, the cartels are profiting

903
01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:51.119
off of a massive human trafficking operation
that's victimizing young kids, little girls being

904
01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:56.680
raped, women being raped, people
being murdered all along the border, cartels

905
01:11:56.720 --> 01:12:01.119
making billions of dollars hand over fists, and more importantly, by overwhelming parts

906
01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:06.039
of the border in Texas, it
allows the cartels to continue smuggling in the

907
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:11.760
fentanyl in other parts of the country
along on different parts of the border.

908
01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:13.760
I want to, I want to, I want to stop here because I

909
01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:16.760
want people to really take that in
because there's two questions or two rebuttals or

910
01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:20.840
questions that I always here, and
one is, well, if you bring

911
01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:24.359
up smuggling, they go, look
at the look at the little girl.

912
01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:28.600
She's not smuggling, And you're probably
right, she might be being trafficked,

913
01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:33.399
but she likely doesn't have fentanyl tape
to her body. But when you it's

914
01:12:33.439 --> 01:12:36.640
the same reason you would create a
distraction if you want to do a criminal

915
01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:40.680
thing, which is a movie trope, right, you know we're gonna go

916
01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:43.720
rob this bank, so let's go
set a bomb off across town and they'll

917
01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:47.000
all be over there. In reality, it does allow that because it pulls

918
01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:51.680
people away. Did you see the
video of the the mom whose son was

919
01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:56.439
killed by an illegal immigrant in Texas. I've interviewed that woman. Actually,

920
01:12:56.760 --> 01:13:00.359
she said radio rowd thing in DC
that we used to do annual, that

921
01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:03.199
your coworker would come up to one. She was one of the moms up

922
01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:08.319
there, and it's a very tragic
story. And that idiot Goldman or whatever

923
01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:15.880
up in New York is like he's
almost berating her, like she doesn't understand

924
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:18.279
what the issue is, and she
was talking because she was talking about the

925
01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:21.479
fetanyl and all that stuff, and
like he's got to sit that he might

926
01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:26.239
be one of the dumbest members of
Congress who would initially peer that way until

927
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:30.680
you hear him speak after watching his
work with the committee work here recently.

928
01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:34.640
And the other thing is, well, the people are under the mistaken plan

929
01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:39.319
that everyone comes across the border.
The Democratic plan is because they want them

930
01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:44.039
to vote right now illegally, and
it's not as it's not. There's a

931
01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:46.640
lot of nuance. And there was
a congresswoman in California kind of gave away

932
01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:53.000
the game. They don't have to
vote to be a net positive for your

933
01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:57.039
political party. In fact, it's
almost better because then you don't have to

934
01:13:57.079 --> 01:14:03.279
woo them. Then they just have
to exist geographically where you are amongst all

935
01:14:03.359 --> 01:14:08.319
of your liberal friends, and you'll
be a shoe in. Plus, your

936
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:11.560
district will never go away, which
is what California right now was looking at.

937
01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:15.079
They're going to lose a bunch of
districts right. So for people who

938
01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:17.880
don't understand that the nuance you're referring
to, which is the counting of the

939
01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:24.600
census. So if you put enough
people that can't vote and don't vote because

940
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:28.840
they are prohibited because they are illegal
immigrants, they're not allowed to vote,

941
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:32.439
but they count in the census.
So you can pack a bunch of people

942
01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:38.880
into a congressional district and never actually
have to listen to anything that they say,

943
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:44.399
knowing that the people who can vote
are Democrats, and so you will

944
01:14:44.439 --> 01:14:48.560
continue to win re election even as
people who are citizens and can vote for

945
01:14:48.600 --> 01:14:53.880
you flee your district or your seat. So you can have a district representing

946
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:58.439
eight hundred and fifty thousand people,
but only half of them are eligible to

947
01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:01.920
vote, and only a fraction of
those actually do yes, And so that

948
01:15:02.159 --> 01:15:05.560
is that's the immediate game. And
sure, there's the long term, you

949
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:12.119
know, a tip O'Neil Reagan style
discussion over amnesty. Booled me once,

950
01:15:12.199 --> 01:15:16.119
But that is the immediate impact and
effect, and it's important that people understand

951
01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:19.840
that. All Right, we got
you've got a whole host of stuff here.

952
01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:23.680
I want to touch base with you. Can you give me a favor

953
01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:28.720
because I didn't realize how awesome they
were and I don't have firsthand experience how

954
01:15:28.760 --> 01:15:31.279
great are electric buses, mister guy
who used to live in Nashville, because

955
01:15:31.800 --> 01:15:35.760
you guys have some that have some
there, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

956
01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:39.359
In fact, when we got I
was there. I was working in

957
01:15:39.439 --> 01:15:44.520
Nashville. I worked in Nashville for
about eight years, and I was there

958
01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:48.399
when we first got the electric buses, and oh my god, super exciting

959
01:15:49.520 --> 01:15:53.239
until like I think it was the
first week or so something like that.

960
01:15:53.279 --> 01:15:56.119
It was very early on after we
first got our buses that one of them

961
01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:59.479
broke down and I got a picture. Yeah, we got pictures sent to

962
01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:01.720
us, and so we had a
little bit of fun with that because these

963
01:16:01.720 --> 01:16:05.760
were like the brand new buses.
They broke down, and now apparently they've

964
01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:11.640
got they have five electric buses,
which is super exciting. Except for the

965
01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:16.760
fact that, like they haven't been
able to run because they've got software problems,

966
01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:21.079
they've got mechanical issues. One of
them need a door and slight problem.

967
01:16:21.439 --> 01:16:28.319
The company that made the buses for
Ashville they're bankrupt. They're bankrupt.

968
01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:33.840
Yeah, so they can't that's true. Ye, Well, and yeah,

969
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:36.359
I mean maybe they roll it back
out for summer time. Well, so

970
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:40.319
here's the other problem is that when
it gets cold. I'm not sure you're

971
01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:45.960
aware of this with electricity batteries such
yet. Yeah, when it gets cold,

972
01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:49.800
the batteries don't hold the charge for
very long, so they don't go

973
01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:55.640
very far before having to come back
to the recharging station and then juice up

974
01:16:55.640 --> 01:17:00.520
for like several hours. So it's
not quite the most effective system. Now,

975
01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:04.159
I like what the city of Gastonia
is doing. Have you heard what

976
01:17:04.199 --> 01:17:11.359
Gastonia is count No, they are
scrapping their entire bus system and they're doing

977
01:17:11.479 --> 01:17:15.640
like, yeah, they're doing like
an uber lift ride share deal. They're

978
01:17:15.680 --> 01:17:19.760
contracting with a company that's going to
do basically taxi service. Because the thing

979
01:17:19.840 --> 01:17:24.279
it might be cheaper, it might
be cheap than some of these mass transits,

980
01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:28.039
which are just money pits. Man
right, and the routes are terrible.

981
01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:30.239
They don't cover all of the areas. Like you said, this has

982
01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:34.039
always been the problem with a fixed
route system, right. It makes sense

983
01:17:34.119 --> 01:17:41.079
in sort of an urban, dense
core that makes sense subways that take you,

984
01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:43.680
you know, to this area and
then you can walk around whatever.

985
01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:46.720
But in a more rural setting with
a town center or something, it doesn't

986
01:17:46.760 --> 01:17:49.319
really make a lot of sense,
especially you know, because it's all spread

987
01:17:49.319 --> 01:17:53.159
out. So what you're going to
take a bus and then be you know,

988
01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:56.600
a mile from where you need to
go after you get off the bus.

989
01:17:56.600 --> 01:18:00.439
How do you fix that the last
mile problem? And so what GAFSONI

990
01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:02.159
is doing is they're like, you
know what, We're just gonna go ahead

991
01:18:02.199 --> 01:18:08.760
and do ubers. Oh, I
mean if again, I ran the math

992
01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:12.760
in my head and I'm like,
I'll bet having covered I watched the rollout

993
01:18:12.840 --> 01:18:15.319
of the light rail in Minneapolis,
which by the way, is in the

994
01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:18.640
news again. Yeah yeah, hold
on for that. But I remember,

995
01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:24.399
I remember being there and through the
whole process. Right, we want to

996
01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:27.640
do this. Here's the real They
had a route that went to Saint Cloud,

997
01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:30.119
Minnesota. I mean, it was
crazy, which that ended up getting

998
01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:35.479
scrapped. But they were doing things
like they like they didn't they weren't going

999
01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:42.039
to have it go to the airport. Everyone lost their minds, like why

1000
01:18:42.039 --> 01:18:45.640
would because they were trying to protect
the parking revenue, and they got just

1001
01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:49.279
enough pushback that it does go to
the airport. The initial route ran from

1002
01:18:49.279 --> 01:18:53.920
them all of America north to the
airport into downtown Minneapolis, and now it's

1003
01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:58.560
expanded from there. But at the
time, before they even expanded it,

1004
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:04.279
it cost twelve dollars for every writer. Twelve dollars that was That was a

1005
01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:09.319
combination of their fare and the subsidized
cost of running it. I don't know

1006
01:19:09.359 --> 01:19:13.239
what Charlotte's was, but twelve dollars
will get you a lot of places in

1007
01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:17.720
an uber Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I want to say Charlotte, their

1008
01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:21.600
fares were in the single digits.
If I recall correctly when we started ours

1009
01:19:23.039 --> 01:19:27.199
about twenty years ago almost and I
guess ten years fifteen years ago. But

1010
01:19:27.359 --> 01:19:30.800
the I recall at the time the
prices, the actual cost was somewhere north

1011
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:35.319
of twenty bucks. That's the actual
cost. So yeah, and again,

1012
01:19:35.479 --> 01:19:42.119
like people look at the light rail
as as a transportation deal and to an

1013
01:19:42.159 --> 01:19:45.960
extent. Obviously it is, but
it's also a development deal. It is.

1014
01:19:45.279 --> 01:19:47.520
It was, and look, Pat
McCrory when he was mayor, was

1015
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:51.279
very explicit about this. He said, this is to direct growth and give

1016
01:19:51.319 --> 01:19:57.399
people an option right to pack more
density into the urban core so it's not

1017
01:19:57.640 --> 01:20:00.279
sprawling everywhere and where we got traffic
jams at everywhere. So if you want

1018
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:03.119
that kind of a lifestyle to to
be able to hop on a train,

1019
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:08.319
get into center city and work,
then you should. Then this is going

1020
01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:11.159
to be the option for you.
Now. Of course, nobody could predict

1021
01:20:11.199 --> 01:20:14.439
that office space would be clearing out
after a pandemic like it is, but

1022
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:18.199
you know, details whatever the other
thing is, we don't have our light

1023
01:20:18.279 --> 01:20:21.399
rail running to the airport either,
and everybody's complaining about that. But and

1024
01:20:21.399 --> 01:20:25.319
they're like, look at the look
at the passenger numbers. We have so

1025
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:29.279
many passengers. Well we do,
but they never get out of the airport.

1026
01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:32.039
It's not originating traffic. It's you
know, when we when they were

1027
01:20:32.079 --> 01:20:35.119
building this thing, and McCrory was
like, we should have this thing run

1028
01:20:35.159 --> 01:20:40.560
out to the airport, the transportation
people were like, they're all flights that

1029
01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:43.560
are layovers. They're coming from somewhere
else, getting on a different flight and

1030
01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:46.640
leaving. It's a hub. Charlotte
doesn't have enough people leaving from the Charlotte

1031
01:20:46.640 --> 01:20:54.399
area to justify a train from downtown
to the airport because nobody lives downtown.

1032
01:20:54.439 --> 01:20:56.600
They do now, but not at
that time. Right right, right,

1033
01:20:56.640 --> 01:21:00.439
right, yeah, let's speaking of
Well, I'll let you because the seat's

1034
01:21:00.439 --> 01:21:04.680
in your stack. Here I mentioned
that the mass transit in Minneapolis Saint Paul

1035
01:21:04.760 --> 01:21:08.840
is in the news again. Is
it because they bought their they brought their

1036
01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:12.199
costs down, right, and it's
cash flows now or something? Oh,

1037
01:21:11.279 --> 01:21:15.000
I haven't seen that. That seems
like it would be newsworthy. Maybe something

1038
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:19.319
other jurisdictions could emulate. No,
I think it's because well it's so.

1039
01:21:20.479 --> 01:21:25.680
There was a campaign a couple of
months ago down here with the DA and

1040
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:29.479
the US Attorney and they were putting
up billboards and they said think again,

1041
01:21:29.960 --> 01:21:32.399
think again, Think again, And
it was about crime. So, in

1042
01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:36.439
other words, before you go and
murder that person, think again, right,

1043
01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:40.119
don't commit a gun crime. Before
you commit a gun crime, think

1044
01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:42.800
again. No, no, no, no, dude, you're missing it.

1045
01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:47.840
You're missing it. It's genius.
You don't understand what is something if

1046
01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:51.520
you want to convict somebody for the
higher level version of a crime that is

1047
01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:59.399
necessary to prove by prosepecting premeditation.
There you go. So they're trying to

1048
01:21:59.399 --> 01:22:03.239
hang more charges. Oh I gotcha. Yeah, that's probably See, this

1049
01:22:03.279 --> 01:22:06.760
is why you're so much more successful
because you see around these corners. I

1050
01:22:08.039 --> 01:22:12.239
just took them at their billboard word
and I thought, that's just a ridiculous

1051
01:22:12.239 --> 01:22:17.960
thing to try to advise people who
were going to make county interesting. Well

1052
01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:21.199
maybe that's what's going on here.
Then they've told people in Minneapolis, hey,

1053
01:22:21.840 --> 01:22:26.159
don't be raping people on the bus. Uh, and don't be peeing

1054
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:29.039
and pooping on the bus. Yeah, and the light rail don't what you

1055
01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:31.000
do it on there either. So
yeah, so they posted signs which will

1056
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:33.880
totally take care of the problem,
as I understand it, because once you

1057
01:22:33.960 --> 01:22:36.800
post a sign, for example,
like a gun free zone, nobody ever

1058
01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:42.359
brings guns in them. The signs
are I think one hundred percent effective.

1059
01:22:42.840 --> 01:22:45.880
I know. In fact, they
put them in shower prisons and it's everything's

1060
01:22:45.880 --> 01:22:50.560
fine. Oh that makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, it does make me

1061
01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:55.399
wonder with the with Minneapolis, why
it took so long for them to think

1062
01:22:55.399 --> 01:22:59.439
of this like why, yeah,
yeah, you want to hear something crazy.

1063
01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:03.159
This was an this was an issue
when I was there. Yeah,

1064
01:23:03.680 --> 01:23:05.960
there were certain routes they're just like, yeah, you shoul probably not go

1065
01:23:06.000 --> 01:23:12.760
on that route if you're not a
criminal. Yeah, it was really bad

1066
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:15.720
man. Yeah. So why and
so how long ago was that? What?

1067
01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:18.720
Ten years? Fifteen years ago or
so? And two thousands? Yeah,

1068
01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:21.960
late two thousands, mid to late
yeah, So why did it take

1069
01:23:23.000 --> 01:23:25.680
all of these years to figure out
how to write on a sign? Hey,

1070
01:23:25.720 --> 01:23:29.720
don't be raping and robbing and booping
and being Well, there's a lot

1071
01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:31.119
of lakes, you know, if
you're in the if you get to fish

1072
01:23:31.159 --> 01:23:35.640
them all, man, it's it's
very time consuming. So that's a thing.

1073
01:23:35.960 --> 01:23:40.319
By the way, did you see
a cowboy? Coward? Do you

1074
01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:43.119
know who that was? Cow Yeah, coward? Yeah you see Yeah,

1075
01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:45.640
wait, did you see the details
of that? For a car accident?

1076
01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:50.359
His girlfriend's driving, but in the
vehicle they have both their her pet,

1077
01:23:50.560 --> 01:23:57.119
her pet chihuahua and his pet squirrel. Now, I'm not saying that that

1078
01:23:57.199 --> 01:24:00.279
might have caused the distraction, because
it sounds like they pulled out and the

1079
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:02.199
young man hit him but he's not. He was not speeding or anything,

1080
01:24:02.239 --> 01:24:06.399
so just pure tragedy. But I
can just imagine how I distracted. I

1081
01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:10.520
would be if you were too,
Like if at a light as a prank,

1082
01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:13.399
you threw a chihuahua and a squirrel
into a car, that sounds like

1083
01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:15.680
pandemonium. Man. Yeah, I
mean I got to believe that they got

1084
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:19.960
along, but I mean, like
literally, it is the example of distraction.

1085
01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:25.560
Squirrel, Yeah, it's the Yeah, the dog seemed yeah, but

1086
01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:29.199
yeah, it was crazy story there. Like he was he was doing Old

1087
01:24:29.239 --> 01:24:31.119
West shootout stuff in Maggie Valley and
Burt Reynold showed up and he's like,

1088
01:24:31.159 --> 01:24:34.239
I want to put you in your
lack of teeth in the movies, right

1089
01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:41.359
delivery Yeah, off the deliverance you
go. So I think eighty five or

1090
01:24:41.399 --> 01:24:44.319
so. Yeah, and it's his
girlfriend was in her seventies, so he

1091
01:24:44.520 --> 01:24:46.439
was, you know, he liked
liked him a little younger there, but

1092
01:24:47.560 --> 01:24:53.000
yeah, yeah, the squirrel and
chihuahua component definitely caught me off guard.

1093
01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:56.680
All Right, Well, hopefully you're
alive next week because he got the new

1094
01:24:56.720 --> 01:24:59.880
signs. I'm sure everything will be
fine, very safe for you. Yeah,

1095
01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:02.359
we'll do this thing again. Okay, that's good, every great weekend.

1096
01:25:04.399 --> 01:25:09.319
And I'm sitting on a pile of
audio. So let's go ahead and

1097
01:25:09.640 --> 01:25:16.760
go ahead and get into this.
Let me start with this Taylor Lorenz,

1098
01:25:16.840 --> 01:25:19.920
who is boy, she's a peach. She writes for the Washington Post.

1099
01:25:19.960 --> 01:25:25.279
She's as moon bad as they come. And uh, what was her Her

1100
01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:28.359
claim to fame was the gamer Gate
thing, right, wasn't that her big

1101
01:25:28.359 --> 01:25:30.840
thing? Well that in the moon
the moon rocks. Oh, I forgot

1102
01:25:30.880 --> 01:25:35.840
about the moon rocks. Remember the
moon rocks. I'm almost yeah, that

1103
01:25:35.920 --> 01:25:44.880
was Lorenz? Yes, all right. So she is a journalist who at

1104
01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:50.520
one point her what was her her
concern is that they could drop a rock

1105
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:55.880
off the moon and hit the Earth, right, because that's how that works?

1106
01:25:55.880 --> 01:25:58.399
Do you am? I am?
I halluciny? You guys remember the

1107
01:25:58.439 --> 01:26:00.640
story, right, And everybody's kind
of laughed at her. She's like,

1108
01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:03.000
that's not what I meant, and
I'm like, I don't know, I

1109
01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:05.000
saw what she said. That's kind
of what you meant. So anyway,

1110
01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:09.840
so she had her little self a
little diatribe, and she's reflecting on a

1111
01:26:09.840 --> 01:26:14.239
few things that have happened this week. One sports Illustrated is just like,

1112
01:26:14.359 --> 01:26:17.359
yeah, we're not going to do
this anymore. And I can't imagine what

1113
01:26:17.439 --> 01:26:25.319
happened. LA Times laid off one
hundred and fifteen. I think it's the

1114
01:26:25.399 --> 01:26:30.520
number. And you had people reporters
who didn't get laid off, who were

1115
01:26:30.359 --> 01:26:33.560
showing, you know, what they'd
do. They were showing pictures, but

1116
01:26:33.640 --> 01:26:36.399
they were also taken it away.
So it was kind of like when you'd

1117
01:26:36.399 --> 01:26:40.239
see those pictures of libraries in Florida. They'd be like, look, they

1118
01:26:40.279 --> 01:26:43.920
took all the books, and then
you realize, no, they found a

1119
01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:47.000
single area where there's no books and
there hadn't been and took that picture.

1120
01:26:47.079 --> 01:26:51.640
So so, but it's the state
of journalism. And she goes on this

1121
01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:57.479
dumb rant yesterday, here we go, what is this thing? Here?

1122
01:26:57.560 --> 01:27:03.119
Come on, button bar? All
right, here we go. They are

1123
01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:08.399
dude, I'm telling you, I
want to do radio the old way with

1124
01:27:08.520 --> 01:27:13.039
coconuts and all that. Their journalism
industry is basically in a free fall today.

1125
01:27:13.119 --> 01:27:15.600
The Los Angeles Times laid off one
hundred and fifteen employees. They wiped

1126
01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:19.880
out their entire DC bureau in an
election year. They laid off pretty much

1127
01:27:19.880 --> 01:27:24.119
all of their sports teams, They
killed their entire tech and business section.

1128
01:27:24.279 --> 01:27:28.159
They laid off breaking news writers,
social media editors. The list goes on.

1129
01:27:28.319 --> 01:27:31.239
But what's really dark is this is
just the latest in months and months

1130
01:27:31.279 --> 01:27:35.840
and months of layoffs in the media
industry. In fact, tens of thousands

1131
01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:40.399
of journalists have been laid off in
the past year. Major media companies like

1132
01:27:40.439 --> 01:27:45.239
BuzzFeed News have completely shuttered their news
operations. Time Magazine also just laid off

1133
01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:47.720
a ton of people, and Oh, Sports Illustrated basically shud down last week.

1134
01:27:48.119 --> 01:27:50.840
Okay, all right, and all
of that is true, by the

1135
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:56.600
way, but all of the you
know, there's a lot of similarities there

1136
01:27:56.680 --> 01:28:01.680
in that it's print publication, you
know, and you know, so then

1137
01:28:01.720 --> 01:28:04.359
the learned to Code thing came out, and then people thought they were going

1138
01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:08.640
to debunk it because Joe Biden never
said that, and then people posted all

1139
01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:12.960
the video of him saying literally saying
it. Everything got dumb. But she

1140
01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:16.319
goes a step further. Pretty much
the entire digital media ecosystem that myself and

1141
01:28:16.359 --> 01:28:20.039
a lot of other millennial journalists came
up in has been completely hollowed out.

1142
01:28:20.079 --> 01:28:25.000
And it's not just digital media sites. Local news has been obliterated. The

1143
01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:30.199
newspaper industry is cratering. Radio is
essentially dead, aside from NPR, which

1144
01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:39.479
has been gutted. Really is that
true? Is that because I can't speak

1145
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:45.199
to the economics within the you know, in McClatchy, right, I mean

1146
01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:49.439
I can follow, like, you
know, various things that happened, whether

1147
01:28:49.439 --> 01:28:54.720
it's layoffs, hirings, expansions,
selling a properties, banquote, whatever it

1148
01:28:54.840 --> 01:28:58.800
is. And yes, in radio, the compression of the industry is something

1149
01:28:58.840 --> 01:29:04.119
that has has gone on for a
significant amount of time, although the meat

1150
01:29:04.199 --> 01:29:15.319
of it really was back during the
Obama administration. But it's not the radio

1151
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:20.840
is basically dead. We're doing pretty
well. Like I'm not gonna go I

1152
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:24.239
can't get into the details. I'm
not going to get into the details,

1153
01:29:24.239 --> 01:29:26.800
And I just want to be very
clear, I'm not when I says,

1154
01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:30.279
I'm speaking within my own personal experience
and not as some sort of corporate entity

1155
01:29:30.359 --> 01:29:35.760
for our parent company. But there
there's a lot of stuff where we're seeing

1156
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:39.119
a lot of gains, and so
a lot of it's picking up slack from

1157
01:29:39.119 --> 01:29:44.680
some of that stuff. And the
amount the percentage of the American population they

1158
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:47.720
love this stat you know, internally
at our company. But it's very true.

1159
01:29:48.399 --> 01:29:51.800
You know, of all of the
people, all the people out there

1160
01:29:51.840 --> 01:29:59.479
who consume media in the United States
in the ninetieth percentile, well, at

1161
01:29:59.479 --> 01:30:09.279
some point consume our product every week. That's that's that's crazy high there.

1162
01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:14.960
So and so I would push back
on that, But I feel like while

1163
01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:16.560
she is, she is accurate in
a lot of stuff that she's saying.

1164
01:30:17.720 --> 01:30:21.520
At what point do you think somebody's
gonna go? Man, I wonder why

1165
01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:29.840
BuzzFeed, the LA Times and many
other publications that seem to have a similar

1166
01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:34.439
bent are suffering the way that they
are and somes in their control, somems

1167
01:30:34.439 --> 01:30:40.479
out of their control one hundred percent, and and you've got to be able

1168
01:30:40.479 --> 01:30:43.920
to adapt to it. And it
sucks. And I look, I'm fine

1169
01:30:43.960 --> 01:30:48.960
with local media. I I can
be critical of it, absolutely one.

1170
01:30:49.720 --> 01:30:53.720
But if they're not there, there's
opera, there are things that are missed,

1171
01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:56.359
and there are good local journalists,
there are people out there doing way

1172
01:30:56.359 --> 01:31:04.319
ep I think ap Dyllan's a good
journalist because dicing up specific stuff about school

1173
01:31:04.319 --> 01:31:08.279
budgets and stuff, oh makes people
want to bang their head into the wall.

1174
01:31:08.359 --> 01:31:10.760
She seems to enjoy it, and
I think does a good job of

1175
01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:16.399
making it understandable, and people are
consuming that product. So but yeah,

1176
01:31:16.439 --> 01:31:20.800
I saw that and chuckle just a
little, But I digress. Meanwhile,

1177
01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:30.159
in California, they have found a
lost city, seriously right under their own

1178
01:31:30.640 --> 01:31:38.119
feet, kind of a river bank
in Californias is what you're in Modesto or

1179
01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:44.680
no, I gott figure out where
it is. But in California has they

1180
01:31:45.119 --> 01:31:48.279
has a city that's been carved into
the side and he can't see it from

1181
01:31:48.319 --> 01:31:53.520
the main road up top, and
there was just this path, and they

1182
01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:56.359
figured out that they would see homeless
people go down there. They thought they

1183
01:31:56.359 --> 01:31:59.000
were living in the woods and they
go down there by the river. They

1184
01:31:59.000 --> 01:32:03.920
didn't see them. And then somebody
figured out that they had carved almost like

1185
01:32:05.000 --> 01:32:10.840
you know those the ancient cities of
what Ancora and what's the other one where

1186
01:32:10.880 --> 01:32:17.000
you have these ornate temples carved into
the side of sandstone and whatnot. And

1187
01:32:17.039 --> 01:32:20.079
you go in and it's a hole
and it's and it's they got statues.

1188
01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:24.800
It's in the front of them.
Looks like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,

1189
01:32:24.880 --> 01:32:29.000
Right, that's the one probably most
people could think of. They had

1190
01:32:29.079 --> 01:32:32.720
that a homeless encampment like that.
It was pretty ornate. Although I don't

1191
01:32:32.760 --> 01:32:39.279
think that at Ancora they had they
had heroin needles inside, but maybe I

1192
01:32:39.319 --> 01:32:45.279
don't know. But check this out
in homeless caves tucked along the Tuolmi River

1193
01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:48.119
in Modesto. These are basically stairs
that they made to get down to the

1194
01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:54.439
dwelling. Tracy Rojas took us on
the treacherous walk to see the craters created

1195
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:58.359
near Crater Avenue, and if one
of these were to collapse, it would

1196
01:32:58.359 --> 01:33:01.560
be devastating. This whole side would
come down and into the water. Seventy

1197
01:33:01.600 --> 01:33:06.479
six hundred pounds of trash, that's
how much was cleared out by volunteer groups

1198
01:33:06.479 --> 01:33:12.199
and police over the weekend. So
this was fully furnished. Yes, there

1199
01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:16.520
was betting. There was little things
up on the Mantle block of a better

1200
01:33:16.520 --> 01:33:24.239
word, Mantle food items, drugs, gun all right, so don't look

1201
01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:28.720
this woman's under selling it. It's
kind of impressive. I'm not gonna lie,

1202
01:33:28.720 --> 01:33:31.760
but I suppose you got all day
plus depending on which drug you're using,

1203
01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:36.840
you might be in a very efficient
digger. So there's that, but

1204
01:33:38.800 --> 01:33:43.600
just Craziness'll tweet the video out,
but check it out. I has a

1205
01:33:43.600 --> 01:33:45.960
little more audio, but we'll get
to that here just month. Also,

1206
01:33:45.079 --> 01:33:47.880
Ross, I actually got because I
wanted to help support since they had to

1207
01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:51.640
have they evicted all these people.
So I got you a goblet from their

1208
01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:55.840
merch store. It's got a bunch
of jewels. That was very nice.

1209
01:33:56.520 --> 01:34:00.720
They pulled it out of there.
So really wait, Yeah, I want

1210
01:34:00.760 --> 01:34:02.720
to. I'd like to, and
I want to see you use it when

1211
01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:05.520
I when I bring it for you. So you got one there too,

1212
01:34:05.600 --> 01:34:09.800
huh. Well, but I here's
the thing, and it's because I'm a

1213
01:34:09.840 --> 01:34:13.760
giving person. I I budgeted to
get one for you one for me,

1214
01:34:13.880 --> 01:34:17.000
but I spent so much on your
ornate but jeweled one. All I could

1215
01:34:17.039 --> 01:34:21.600
afford is this carved wooden one.
Look at that poverty wooden. Yeah,

1216
01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:26.000
I'm telling you, it's it's all
I need. I can't wait to see

1217
01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:28.720
you drink that. I'm gonna look
at well you drink yours first. Yeah,

1218
01:34:28.720 --> 01:34:34.000
I'm gonna Okay, you're gonna feel
awful poverty really because yeah, I

1219
01:34:34.119 --> 01:34:38.439
know you film that put that on
there. It's gonna be very nice,

1220
01:34:39.279 --> 01:34:44.279
I would say for you, I
have chosen, perhaps wisely, perhaps poorly.

1221
01:34:44.319 --> 01:34:45.960
I don't know. We'll see what, We'll see how it goes?

1222
01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:50.600
All right, raced agic, he's
here, Indiana Jones reference, Sir,

1223
01:34:53.239 --> 01:34:57.000
what are you doing? Do you
know why? I just bumped my bumped

1224
01:34:57.039 --> 01:35:00.079
my elbow on the desk. Okay, we're gonna say, do you know

1225
01:35:00.119 --> 01:35:04.199
what? Do you know? I've
never seen in Indiana Jones movie in full?

1226
01:35:05.239 --> 01:35:14.920
Can you imagine? Sorry to your
weather? All right? You want

1227
01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:17.000
to play? Do you want to
play a wrestling intro? I'd be fine

1228
01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:20.920
with that. I feel it's better
cut. How does that happen? You

1229
01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:25.239
know what I do? You didn't
see Crystal Skull or the dial of uh

1230
01:35:25.840 --> 01:35:30.399
whatever the thing was that just came
out. It was just not that funny

1231
01:35:30.439 --> 01:35:33.159
because I've always bet a Harrison Ford
fan, obviously with the Star Wars,

1232
01:35:33.279 --> 01:35:38.920
h with the Star Wars, you
know, favorites. But anyway, you

1233
01:35:39.039 --> 01:35:42.159
gonna what are you gonna do now? If you don't have the knowledge that

1234
01:35:42.239 --> 01:35:45.840
was imparted? Like what if a
some dude with a sword in an ancient

1235
01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:47.880
Arab city is chasing you? You
don't know how to add No, I

1236
01:35:47.960 --> 01:35:54.600
won't do you know how to sell
Jesus' name in Aramaic? But no,

1237
01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:57.840
definitely will not be able to do
that. You are so scary. Guys,

1238
01:35:57.880 --> 01:36:01.119
look at the arc man, Yeah, oh what's it here? Oh

1239
01:36:01.479 --> 01:36:04.439
yeah, that's great. So where
a big gold box going? Yeah?

1240
01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:08.399
Right, I start with Raiders of
the Lost Ark? Right? Is that

1241
01:36:08.439 --> 01:36:11.600
the first one? At this point
I just start stacking them, man,

1242
01:36:11.720 --> 01:36:15.319
I don't care start with the first
three. But yeah, yeah, I'm

1243
01:36:15.359 --> 01:36:16.760
gonna get I'll get on that.
I'll put it on my to do list.

1244
01:36:17.079 --> 01:36:20.760
Yeah, and you know, there's
actually if that's the plan, make

1245
01:36:20.800 --> 01:36:24.439
it for a plan for Saturday.
If it's movies, it's probably an indoor

1246
01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:28.840
day more than anything else. Do
have a lot of clouds today, very

1247
01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:30.199
mild too. It's a little humid
out there for this time of year.

1248
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:33.640
Upper sixties to low seventies. Tonight
only in the fifties, and tomorrow the

1249
01:36:33.680 --> 01:36:38.520
rainbow spread in west from east west
east late morning into the afternoon, maybe

1250
01:36:38.520 --> 01:36:42.119
a thunderstorm late load of mid sixties, and then finally by Sunday, maybe

1251
01:36:42.119 --> 01:36:45.640
some dryer air and maybe some sunshine
in the afternoon after a shower thunderstorm threat

1252
01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:49.039
early and then early next week into
the middle of next week, maybe longer.

1253
01:36:49.079 --> 01:36:53.920
We'll get into a nice stretch of
load of mid fifties during the day

1254
01:36:53.960 --> 01:36:58.680
with mostly sunny sky and upper twenties
to little mid thirties at night, probably

1255
01:36:58.680 --> 01:37:01.960
starting Monday through Thursday. So after
we get through the next couple days,

1256
01:37:01.960 --> 01:37:05.840
we'll get rid of this yuck and
next week it's really good. One quick

1257
01:37:05.920 --> 01:37:12.439
question, what does a penitent man
do? Oh? Who a penitent man?

1258
01:37:14.119 --> 01:37:17.079
Next question? No, there won't
be another question. All right,

1259
01:37:17.239 --> 01:37:20.279
get out of here. You're okay
man, All right? Jeff Bellinger's next

1260
01:37:20.279 --> 01:37:29.560
hang on, All right, good
morning, and welcome it. He is

1261
01:37:29.680 --> 01:37:32.399
eight fifty three year Bloomberg Update now
with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening?

1262
01:37:33.800 --> 01:37:39.880
Ain't happy Friday? The government just
reported American's personal incomes ticked up three

1263
01:37:39.920 --> 01:37:44.399
tenths percent last month, right in
line with forecasts, but consumer spending was

1264
01:37:44.439 --> 01:37:48.239
stronger than expected. In December,
it rose seven tenths percent. Spending more

1265
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:54.640
than we're making. Helps to explain
why Visus quarterly results were better than expected.

1266
01:37:54.640 --> 01:37:58.920
The credit card company reported an eight
percent increase, and it's quarterly profit

1267
01:37:59.000 --> 01:38:02.000
because people are reaching for their credit
cards more. But shares of Intel are

1268
01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:06.399
sharply lower, and pre market trading
the giant chip maker could end Wall Street's

1269
01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:13.000
winning streak. Intel issued a disappointing
forecast after the markets closed yesterday, raising

1270
01:38:13.079 --> 01:38:17.239
doubts about its turnaround efforts. Boeing
shut down production of its seven thirty seven

1271
01:38:17.319 --> 01:38:23.319
factory in Renton, Washington, yesterday. About ten thousand employees took part in

1272
01:38:23.359 --> 01:38:28.239
the company's first ever full day working
session. Boeing says the focus was on

1273
01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:31.600
first time quality and safety, and
the company says it's planning more of what

1274
01:38:31.680 --> 01:38:38.159
it calls quality stand downs. In
Casey, after some arm twisting by regulators,

1275
01:38:38.199 --> 01:38:42.319
Apple's making changes to its iOS,
Safari, and app store offerings in

1276
01:38:42.359 --> 01:38:46.159
the European Union. Customers will be
able to download software from outside the app

1277
01:38:46.159 --> 01:38:50.800
store and use alternate payment systems,
but Apple is warning these changes will raise

1278
01:38:51.199 --> 01:38:56.600
new security issues. Casey, Jeff, Hey, real quick of the five?

1279
01:38:56.840 --> 01:39:01.159
How many of the Indiana Jones movies
have you seen? I know I

1280
01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:04.119
saw the first one. I believe
I saw the second as well. That

1281
01:39:04.239 --> 01:39:08.279
was all okay, all right,
well you're doing better than our weather guy.

1282
01:39:08.279 --> 01:39:14.000
He hasn't seen any what a weirdo? Huh yeah, I won't cast

1283
01:39:14.039 --> 01:39:16.239
any all right, all right,
all right, thanks Jeff, appreciate it,

1284
01:39:16.319 --> 01:39:19.840
have a good weekend, take care. Yeah. Yeah, Oh dude,

1285
01:39:19.840 --> 01:39:25.000
I was so close. Do you
know how much I wanted audio of

1286
01:39:25.079 --> 01:39:30.720
Jeff calling Ray a weirdo he's craving
show. Oh I love it. Yeah.

1287
01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:35.560
But also Jeff's seen two of them, man, I say, if

1288
01:39:35.560 --> 01:39:39.960
people say three, fine, yeah, like I expect that. If you've

1289
01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:43.960
seen all five, then uh whatever. And he was mentioning the European Union.

1290
01:39:44.000 --> 01:39:45.920
Let me pivot back to that because
I started talking about that. We

1291
01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:47.960
have a chat with Pete. The
think what's going on in Poland is damn

1292
01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:50.680
near criminal. Like if you're not
paying attention to that, you should.

1293
01:39:50.920 --> 01:39:57.319
But also the EU. Man,
if you think politicians just on the Taylor

1294
01:39:57.359 --> 01:40:01.039
Swift here want to do stuff and
then have it also allow them to control

1295
01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:04.640
the narrative on other things, just
know that that is the end game.

1296
01:40:04.680 --> 01:40:08.880
They'll say, Hey, this is
wrong. People shouldn't be making Taylor Swift

1297
01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:11.600
porn and put it on the air. And they shouldn't, right absolutely,

1298
01:40:12.119 --> 01:40:15.920
And I mean that not just from
a legal standpoint, but but more in

1299
01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:19.039
it from a from a moral standpoint. And also she is a human.

1300
01:40:19.199 --> 01:40:24.920
As many jokes as I want to
make about football like that would I don't.

1301
01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:27.760
I don't want to see them.
And I know some I know some

1302
01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:31.680
women in broadcasts who have literally showed
me like mockups. Although these are old

1303
01:40:31.680 --> 01:40:35.920
school bad ones where their head is
like clearly almost paper machete on another body

1304
01:40:35.960 --> 01:40:41.199
and it's just so weird. Sure
it happens to us all the time.

1305
01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:45.960
We just haven't seen it, I'm
sure. But over in the EU they

1306
01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:51.640
want to. They want to reevaluate
influencers, and their discussion includes everything up

1307
01:40:51.720 --> 01:40:59.039
to and including licensing influencers or at
the very least requiring training and things like

1308
01:40:59.119 --> 01:41:02.640
that. These guys can't big,
they can't not screw stuff up because they

1309
01:41:02.640 --> 01:41:08.079
can't have an influencer saying something that
goes against it. So this is the

1310
01:41:08.119 --> 01:41:13.359
way that you gatekeep that it is
Orwellian man or Wellian. And remember the

1311
01:41:13.439 --> 01:41:16.279
last time the EU got together and
tried to screw with the internet. Why

1312
01:41:16.279 --> 01:41:19.520
do you think when you go to
a website now, every effing time you're

1313
01:41:19.560 --> 01:41:24.399
there you have to click except or
decline on cookies before you can do whatever

1314
01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:27.680
you're there for. That's because of
the law they passed a couple of years

1315
01:41:27.680 --> 01:41:32.439
ago. Am I the only if
I find that it is the bane of

1316
01:41:32.600 --> 01:41:38.760
cruising for prep every day. And
also if I say yes to cookies,

1317
01:41:39.119 --> 01:41:43.119
should there be a cookies saying I
said yes to cookies? So they'll jack

1318
01:41:43.199 --> 01:41:46.479
this up ross Some of the people
you watch that on twitch, watch you

1319
01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:50.800
and you watch are probably in Europe, right, tons of them. Yeah,

1320
01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:55.840
so like what if what if you, as a streamer don't have your

1321
01:41:55.880 --> 01:41:58.840
EU streaming license, They're not gonna
be able to see you, man,

1322
01:42:00.199 --> 01:42:02.319
And like probably they probably don't want
to hear what you have to say,

1323
01:42:02.359 --> 01:42:05.960
even though you don't you're you're you're
not doing deep politics on there, but

1324
01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:11.880
still you got to. You got
to bend the need of them. That's

1325
01:42:11.920 --> 01:42:15.640
crazy. And don't get me wrong, there's a bunch of influencer who influencers

1326
01:42:15.680 --> 01:42:19.760
out there who serve no purpose and
probably makes society a worse place. I

1327
01:42:19.760 --> 01:42:27.000
think I think we agree. But
still you got to keep an eye out

1328
01:42:27.039 --> 01:42:29.800
because well, it may be for
them now, it'll be about you tomorrow.

1329
01:42:29.800 --> 01:42:32.960
You know the old saying, well
not tomorrow tomorrow, because tomorrow's Saturday,

1330
01:42:33.119 --> 01:42:35.760
we won't be here, but you
know, Monday, we'll see then
