WEBVTT

1
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.079
All right, good Friday morning,
everybody, and welcome. It is the

2
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.079
case O Day Radio program. And
you know, one of the things that

3
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.439
we do here on the show,
we call them service elements in the bizz.

4
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.799
That's gonna be things like news,
weather, traffic, you know,

5
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:50.640
stuff that's handy on your day to
day. I'm gonna supersede the traffic today

6
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:58.280
and just encourage you to just become
a shut in. Okay, just lock

7
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.600
yourself in your house, don't don't
be near whatever side of your house is

8
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.480
nearest the road, and you know, keep the radio tuned, streaming we

9
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.760
get, you know, on the
iHeart radio app, get your smart device

10
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.879
in there. Do that. Don't
leave your house. It's not safe.

11
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.760
I just listened to Ross regale me
of his experience, and I haven't physically

12
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.519
been into the North Carolina DMV in
a while, although next time I renew

13
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.000
it's I have to do it.
I'm gonna have to physically go in there.

14
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.599
But that's not till right right,
because a couple of years you have

15
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.760
one shot right where you can do
it online, but the next eight years,

16
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.480
after eight years and then it alternates, you have to go in person.

17
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.200
And the reason for that is they
don't want people losing their vision and

18
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.439
then they're driving into people. Well, that sounds like that might be the

19
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.519
least of the issues. What Ross
just told me terrifies me. But it

20
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.959
makes so much sense, right,
No, it no, it does,

21
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.959
although to some extent, like you
can kind of go, oh, maybe

22
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.000
COVID screwed everybody up. Like do
you remember when people were driving a thousand

23
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.879
miles an hour and horribly during COVID, when there was like a third of

24
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.280
the cars on the road. Right, this is when it's like, are

25
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:14.520
you a necessary employee? You'd go
on you'd go on like four forty or

26
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:20.319
forty for that matter, and there's
like four open lanes and nobody can maintain

27
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.599
one. And I'm like, everyone
just went stupid. But now that I

28
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.120
have the information that you just provided, I I think we're onto something,

29
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:30.919
dude. It was so eye opening, all right, right, sit down,

30
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.759
everybody, so first seated. I
decided I wasn't gonna go take and

31
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.960
renew this thing in Raleigh because that
would be completely insane. So I went

32
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:46.599
somewhere else close to Wake Forest.
I don't want to name the the specific

33
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.240
to one of the you went to
one of the rural offices. I did

34
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.879
the smaller way, but thirty minutes
away from Wake Forest. So yeah,

35
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:55.560
okay, driving down there. And
you know how I am. I'm very

36
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.759
punctual for things. I'm always on
time. I get my work done.

37
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.039
I worry about things prime more than
you're you're a little You're you're definitely prepared

38
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.400
oriented, right, tend to stress
about stuff. I was really prepared.

39
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.560
Yeah, I was prepared for this
thing. And it said on the DMV

40
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.280
website that to an EER license you
would have to take a vision test and

41
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.759
an eye test, no, you
know, a sign test and an item.

42
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.520
So I was even like super prepared. I'm like, this is probably

43
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.639
gonna be an all day or deal. I am not going to go there

44
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.960
a second time, just to be
safe. I'm going to get glasses like

45
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.000
a prescription in case I need them. Yeah, and then I'm going to

46
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.759
go there and see if I could
take the test with or without. But

47
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.639
anyway, sign tests just real quickly
for the signed test when I moved to

48
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.560
North Carolina that I had to take
that at the time because I was new

49
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.280
to the state. When I'm well, here's the thing. So when I

50
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.960
moved here in two thousand and six, he had to take a knowledge test

51
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.000
or not. That's what That's what
I'm talking. It was a twenty five

52
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.280
question written test about the rule like. It covered everything. How many points

53
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.680
go in your license, If you
pass a stop school bus, you're right

54
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.680
of way? How does it roundabout
work? What is the yield sign?

55
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.719
Got all this kind of stuff.
They got to catch you, and you

56
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.960
had to get twenty out of twenty
five other ways you fail. You also

57
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.680
had to do a vision test and
a signed test. That's what you did

58
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.560
in two thousand and six. That
is not the case anymore. That's what

59
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:27.160
I gathered after being at the DMV
for three plus hours yesterday afternoon. Not

60
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.519
just for you because you have one, but you're saying that people who were

61
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.800
getting out of state licenses, getting
their first NC licenses didn't have to do

62
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.639
that right first off too, I
got there at twelve o'clock because you can

63
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.160
only do walkings now afternoon. So
I walk in there and they said,

64
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.279
do you have an appointment? I
said, I don't, but I want

65
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.079
to get a ticket and so enough
to be here all day. So in

66
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.120
my ticket and I sat down and
I started talking to people around me and

67
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.160
we all had tickets they were taking
us, but nobody had an appointment.

68
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.639
But on the website it said it
was booked up until December, so I

69
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.360
could have gotten there at like nine
and just sort of like walk through,

70
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.800
I guess, but whatever, So
that that that was incorrect, and I'm

71
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.439
getting ready for my SCIGN test,
and yeah, dude, I'm like,

72
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.040
wait, because if you try to
book an appointment online right now, it

73
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.639
is booked up till December. However, I went there yesterday and everybody who

74
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.040
was in line at eleven o'clock,
who had been there for hours, had

75
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.560
no appointment, even though they said
you couldn't make an appointment, because it

76
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.399
was makes no sense, all right, perfect anyway, So that's the first

77
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.959
dysfunctional thing I noticed when I'm sitting
there. Then I started noticing people going

78
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.000
up and taking their test. And
there's a person from Florida, and there's

79
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.360
another person from Florida, and a
person from Maryland, and a person from

80
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.240
Vermont and a person from Texas,
two of them from Texas. So they're

81
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.079
going up and they're transferring, you
know, they're getting a new North Carolina

82
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.920
license, whereas in the past you
would have to take the knowledge test,

83
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.560
division tests, and the eye test. That is not the case anymore.

84
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:57.560
All they do is take the eye
test and the scient test. Oh okay,

85
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.480
all right, there's but they explains
a lot because they no longer have

86
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.160
to take the written twenty five questions
asked about all the laws and how everything

87
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:13.879
works. On top of that.
Listen, I am like, you know,

88
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:19.360
it's anonymous business whatever. There are
some people yesterday that should not have

89
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:25.199
passed this test, that passed the
test, and I understand they're very understaffed

90
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.480
at the DMV. This DMV had
one person working there, and the room

91
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.439
when I got there at eleven o'clock
probably had about nine people in front of

92
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.279
me. Right, how do you
know they shouldn't have passed? Though?

93
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.000
So I'm sitting there and it's a
very tiny office. I want to say.

94
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.160
The size of the DMV was like
the size of maybe a little bit

95
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.839
bigger than your studio in my studio
combined. So we're sitting there and when

96
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.399
you go up in front of everybody, everybody can hear you. Everybody get

97
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.480
an egg and see you, and
they can they can see everything's going on.

98
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.800
So this one gets up there,
it took her I want to say,

99
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.160
ten minutes to do the eye tests, tending like he's in like he's

100
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.480
the woman right now, ten minutes
to do this, and when you put

101
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.839
your eyes in the little view master, there is like I don't want to

102
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.519
say, like seven or eight letters
from left to right. And it's in

103
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.480
twenty forty vision. So if you
have twenty forty vision, you're gonna pass.

104
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.879
This woman gets up there. It
took her ten minutes to read the

105
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:27.920
first line, and she's going easy
to be no easy that you shout,

106
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.199
pauses, she's pausing. She goes
easy D and then I was like,

107
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.720
yeah, it's a D. And
then she moves on. Looks to tell

108
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.319
her she's a preschool teacher and she
just got the blocks in. Now she's

109
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.199
going on to the scientist. And
where you're supposed to be like you know,

110
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:49.560
divided highway ahead, put a pedestrian
crossing, you always kind of stuck.

111
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.040
And she goes right. So this
side is like and this isn't what

112
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.120
she sounded like. She actually this
is not so I'm I'm actually changing my

113
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.000
accent to the fen the woman right
right, No, no, no,

114
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.600
no, you want to make this
as anonymous as possible, So that somebody

115
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.120
can get t boned by this crazy
This is not it's now as she's not,

116
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.199
like, so she goes right,
So this is like a sign when

117
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.639
you see it, right, you've
gotta like slow down, but you don't

118
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.360
really have to slow down, like
like if there's cars coming, maybe you

119
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.120
slow down, but you don't have
to. And sometimes you don't slow down,

120
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.240
but sometimes you do. And a
woman behind the desk is like,

121
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.439
well, no, no, ma'am, you need to slow down when you

122
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.759
see this sign, you need to
slow down. She said, right right,

123
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:33.799
you need to slow down when you
see it. Yeah. When you

124
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.080
do that, you know, because
you've got to let other people kind of

125
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.360
go. And she's like, yield
and she's like, yeah, yield,

126
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.360
and then she moves on to the
to the next sign. So it's not

127
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.840
even one of the hard signs.
It's I'm like, woman, it's a

128
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.840
yield sign. I don't think you're
allowed to shout answers from the gallery.

129
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.679
But the woman behind the thing gave
her the answer. She said, you

130
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.559
mean yield, Yeah, yield.
And this happened like two other times,

131
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.200
like to these two people. I
was there for three plus hours. No

132
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.080
nobody failed their test nobody had any
issue, but they did two of them.

133
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.320
I'm telling you should not of past. One dude gets up there.

134
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.480
One two gets up there and he's
been what he was there but when I

135
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.799
got there at eleven o'clock and it
was this is now like a little after

136
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:22.639
one o'clock, so he's probably been
there over two hours. He gets up

137
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.639
there, he has the number is
called and he goes up and he goes,

138
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.879
yeah, I need to renew my
license. And he throws two licenses

139
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.679
down. He throws on a regular
right class C or whatever, and he

140
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.240
throws down a CDL and he goes, this one is expired. And she

141
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.480
goes, well, no, if
you got your CDL, you don't need

142
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.600
this. That is your license.
Now you don't need that. This is

143
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.919
your old license that expired. So
what are you doing here? And he

144
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.799
goes, well, no, I
have these two licenses and this would expire.

145
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.600
She goes, no, sir,
you're not understand what I'm saying.

146
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.000
This is your license. You don't
need this license. And he goes,

147
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.519
well, what have I been sitting
here for two plus hours for? And

148
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.519
she goes, I don't don't know, because you read read the website.

149
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.279
They didn't give him a sticker,
they didn't give him a lollipop, nothing.

150
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:13.080
He just he left. Dude,
I'm saying, I'm like, I

151
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.960
got up there, and I'm finally
like I was so excited, and up

152
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.840
to this point, I've been like, really quiet. I got up there,

153
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.080
I'm not leaving. Like I made
this woman laugh the entire time.

154
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.480
She was laughing the entire time.
And she says to me, she goes,

155
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.320
do you need those glasses? And
I said, honestly, I just

156
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.240
got these because I don't want to
come back again. Right, No,

157
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.960
So here's the thing. I was
super nervous the entire time, like you

158
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.519
months before leading up to this thing. After seeing all the people go up

159
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.399
in front of me, I'm sitting
there and I'm like, I'm golden,

160
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.480
dude, Like, there's no way
in how I'm gonna pa I'm gonna fail

161
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.360
this thing. There's there's no way. So I told her, I said,

162
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.480
the only reason I got these glasses
because I didn't want to come back

163
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.000
again. And I thought maybe I
had failed the vision test and I didn't

164
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.480
want it. So this is just
like you know, in preparation for it.

165
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.440
And she goes, well, you
can take it out their way.

166
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.679
You could take it like first you
can try it with your vision, you

167
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.440
know, with regular vision, then
with the glasses on. So I took

168
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.960
it with my no glasses past took
like two seconds because there's literally seven letters

169
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.799
there. It didn't like to be
initially like oh boom, flawless victory.

170
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.039
Come on man, yeah, seven
in a row. Can you believe that

171
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.679
you're going on? It was a
streak. So she assuming you're king of

172
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.960
the DMV at this point, right, she goes, She goes, you

173
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.559
can if you want, you can. You can still wear those glasses to

174
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.759
drive if they're a prescription. And
I told her, I said, I'm

175
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:35.919
never wearing these things ever go ever, so like literally right now on the

176
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.519
road, there's just ticking time bo
But that's why because of the two you

177
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.039
know of at a small dm I
have noticed in the past three years,

178
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.639
Like you said, I think,
especially after COVID, that people just are

179
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.200
people always sucked at driving, but
now it's even worse, Like it's so

180
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.679
bad, and there's so many people
moving from out of state and these people

181
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.559
no longer have to take the written
test, and it explains so much.

182
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.799
I've held a license in Wyoming,
Colorado, California. And I've always had

183
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.720
to take a written test in every
state. So I've had I've had a

184
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.519
license in five states, and there's
a yield sign in all of them.

185
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:22.039
Do you know what I mean?
Where you know she was? I want

186
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.919
to say she was from Maryland?
Oh, well, can we get her

187
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:31.279
on one of the Desantists buses headed
north. We'll just trick her. We'll

188
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.879
tell her it's like a cafe or
she can't see. She'll probably get in

189
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.840
and then boom, just you know, drop her off in Maryland. Dude,

190
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.799
No, no, it's not a
beat. Ross just wants to drive

191
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.039
the tank of doom now, and
I don't blame him. All right,

192
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.360
Well, there you go. So, uh, you know, Happy Friday.

193
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.159
That's what you're dealing with on the
road. So if you see a

194
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.159
yield sign, you should just assume
that somebody there doesn't see it or know

195
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.000
what it is. Just fly through
it. Just drive. It's optional.

196
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.600
It's optional. How are you feeling? Do you want to slow it down?

197
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.679
It's up to you. I mean, sometimes you'd slow sometimes you don't.

198
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.320
I can't. And she corrected her
with the name of the thing.

199
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.200
Huh, All right, I get
to feel and they just don't. And

200
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.600
I don't blame them at all,
which is why I'm not naming like the

201
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.240
actual where I went, because I
don't want these people get in trouble.

202
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.679
But like I don't feel it.
I don't cause because she seemed like she

203
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.600
was a nice person. It just
seemed like they did not want to be

204
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.200
there. It needs to be a
written test. Look, I'll tell you

205
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.039
what. That old man who drove
through that farmer's market, probably a nice

206
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:50.440
dude, you know what I mean? Kids were there's original they had,

207
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.799
they had, they have my information
there. I'm sure it's still there,

208
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.200
and they're gonna go through and be
like, Nope, you failed give something

209
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.120
in the mail, be like what
happened? You didn't do a C.

210
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.080
You said it was an F was
a d fail. The old lady you

211
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.480
drove through the Panera, probably a
nice lady. Explain so much, gave

212
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:16.360
her kids, you know, money
every Christmas and the birthdays, and still

213
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.759
you know, drove through businesses just
saying all right, so that's how you

214
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.799
get to start your day. But
we got all sorts of stuff we gotta

215
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.600
get into. Pete Calendar will join
us eight oh five. As per usual,

216
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.279
I feel like there's a competition now
between the big city mayors to figure

217
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:39.840
out how they can best drop the
ball on enforcing laws and not having their

218
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:45.559
citizens terrorized in some instances. So
we'll make a contest out of it.

219
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:52.679
They have the phantom phantom pooper,
and we have now in Raleigh unarmed security

220
00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:00.240
people to deal with heavily armed bargoers
based on some very recent stories. So

221
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.960
a plus with that and I'll give
you the list run day. Can you

222
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.440
please tell people we were not off
the ear yesterday because of my DMV task,

223
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.840
because people are like, oh,
that's why you didn't go. I

224
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.480
was here running the rerun, thank
you very much. Yeah, no,

225
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.519
Ross was there, So that was
I didn't feel I was not feeling worth

226
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.840
in a craw. I'm quite a
bit better today. But you were bitten

227
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:28.000
by a bat or something this stuff
and then you re ran all the stuff

228
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.720
with me and the tub and the
stairs, so everyone thinks I'm dead and

229
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.600
this is ai me. So that's
what we that's what we get. Anyway,

230
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.840
we gotta take a break. We'll
be right back. Case O Day

the best end Talk. This is
Casey O Day and Carol Line this morning

244
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:08.279
News. All right, good morning, here we go six thirty five and

245
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:14.000
we're getting too DMB fun stuff.
Ross went there yesterday and figured out we're

246
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.519
all doomed. So see what I
didn't mention too before it, I'm gonna

247
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.240
I'll mention it now because I have
no self control. So a few of

248
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.359
these people as mentioned that shouldn't have
passed. Yeah, I was doing like

249
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:30.079
the woman the you'll sign it was
she didn't speak English. It was all

250
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.400
broken English, like it is a
red sign and it is on the post,

251
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.480
and when you'll see this sign if
well you don't, but here's it,

252
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.960
like you don't have to. So
I've driven in other countries, like

253
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.400
so when I've driven in Latin America, you know, rented a car or

254
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:53.839
whatever, the signs look the same. So like if you're in a Spanish

255
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.599
speaking country and you see a stop
sign, it doesn't it says alto not

256
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.759
stop, obviously, but you know
because it's in the local language. But

257
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.319
it looks exactly the same. So
by testing people on signs without the words

258
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.039
on it, there shouldn't be a
learning curve, you know what I mean,

259
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:17.599
Like you should not be an issue. Right, So I didn't know

260
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:19.119
that. So you say, like
a yield sign, like it's somewhere else

261
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:25.839
it's it's still like an upside down
triangle. Yes. Now, now in

262
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.200
something like if you go over to
Europe, some of them are look a

263
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.440
little different, but they have like
the same thing but if when you say

264
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.880
she was broken English, was it? Did it sound like Spanish was her

265
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.519
first language? I believe, So
they came from Texas. Okay, Okay,

266
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:48.599
well I can tell you in Mexico
and Central America and South America in

267
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.359
the places I've been, it looks
like a damn yield sign. Like it's

268
00:18:52.400 --> 00:19:00.599
not. It's not a question as
to what it is. So I feel

269
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.440
like she was just blind man,
So that's probably a bigger issue. All

270
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.400
right, we'll go have a call
on DMV stuff since we're all terrified.

271
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.640
Now, Yes, Chris, what's
up? Thank good morning, Thanks for

272
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:18.119
taking a call. Like I was
telling Ross, I have an unrestricted Class

273
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.400
A CD with the Hasman endorsement and
we have to get our license from newed

274
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.960
every five years. And this past
July, and like Ross did, I

275
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:32.920
too went to a rule d MB
office in Sampson County. I want name

276
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.559
the town, but in Sampson County
and walked in supposed to have an appointment.

277
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:45.359
I walked in right at noon.
Brad the number, and I'm supposed

278
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.640
to take And with the CDL you
can never renew it online. You have

279
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:55.039
to go win every five years.
Take the scientist take the eye test,

280
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:02.000
give him one hundred and eleven dollars. And and if you have a Hasmat

281
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.319
endorsement, you've got to read the
Hawsmat thing, which is just an extra

282
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.200
scientist. They had me do none
of it. I give him my money,

283
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.960
my old driver's license. He made
sure I wanted to be an organ

284
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:19.559
Downer asked him, was I registered
to vote? And uh? And so

285
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.400
I looked at him and I said
uh. And I was supposed to do

286
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.759
this and he can't give me this
look like kind? He said no,

287
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.799
and I walked out. And I'm
fifty. I'm fifty six years old and

288
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.039
have a gray beard. And you
know, my eyesight is good. I

289
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:42.200
still have twenty round twenty twenty vision. But he didn't know that at all.

290
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:49.000
And I could be out here hauling
gasoline is blind? Is no English

291
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:56.119
speaking woman that lost was talking about? And so yes, it's kind of

292
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.160
scary, but it's even more scary
than what lost things? What now you

293
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:07.759
holming something delicious, sir? Because
I'm always curious. Right now, No,

294
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:14.119
don't him, Hicks. I've got
a drill rig under directional drilling,

295
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:19.319
now, okay, but you don't
want to it's no, no, take

296
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.920
too long to part it out too
and sell it like these meth dudes.

297
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.880
All right, well, good labor. Let me shout out, Let me

298
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.400
shout out our heart radio. I
get listened to y'all through them, and

299
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.599
lets you sing the home and beck
y'all. Oh on the app? You

300
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.920
use the app? Yeah, yeah, oh, rock on? Sir.

301
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.400
All right, Well, do appreciate
it and stay tuned. Okay, I'm

302
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.240
sure the story's coming, all right. I mean, I think a major

303
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.039
part of this, right is,
I think they're incredibly understaffed. And I

304
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.839
said, there was one person there
for a few hours, and there was

305
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.200
a second person that came, and
we were talking about how they don't have

306
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.119
to take the knowledge we're intest anymore
from out the state because listen, I

307
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.119
was there three plus hours. If
those people had taken the twenty five question

308
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.079
written test after what I had seen, right observed, I would have probably

309
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.880
been there six hours. I'm still
I'm still stuck on the morning thing,

310
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.799
though, Like I have a theory
and I don't know what's going on,

311
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.440
but based on your like our employees
filling those in with fake appointment, I

312
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:25.680
don't know too. Like I said, it is impossible to get to prove

313
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.359
anything, right. I'm just wondering
any explanation there, because it's impossible.

314
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.160
I went on two months ago in
preparation for this, trying to book an

315
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.640
appointment. It was booked until November. Now it's booked until December. However,

316
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.880
got there at eleven o'clock. You're
not supposed to start going if you're

317
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:45.039
walking till twelve. Everyone there had
no appointment, and everybody there was just

318
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.240
taking a number and going in their
order before before noon. But he said

319
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.160
that it was booked. So why
did you say on the website that there

320
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.319
that it's booked. I have a
I have a really really easy way to

321
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:02.160
solve this. You're ready, just
declare everyone is sold citizen, right,

322
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.799
right, We're all just travelers.
Give people, give them that, give

323
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:10.160
them that giant handbook that they pull
out and then start going through so they

324
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:15.559
can explain torte law from you know, British Days or whatever. I felt

325
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.839
because the body cam on those is
amazing. I felt so bad and I

326
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.480
saw like three or fourteens come in
with their parents taking their tests like it

327
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.640
was their big day. They were
sixteen, right, And I felt so

328
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.079
bad for these kids because they show
up at like one o'clock and the woman

329
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.160
there is like, hey, we
don't start doing the driver's test till two.

330
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:37.400
We stopped taking them at three forty
five because there's only two of us

331
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.559
working here, so you might not
be able to fit your time in today.

332
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:45.279
If you really want appoint me,
you're gonna have to book an appointment.

333
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.200
And whereas the parent is like,
all right, how do I book

334
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:48.480
an appointment? And they go,
well, you can't do that till after

335
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.920
December. That sucks. If you're
a kid walking to take your test for

336
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.480
your driver's test. Is it just
that little kid? Because I've I've heard

337
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.319
of parents literally having to go,
you know, ap Dylan. I saw

338
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:06.160
her post something we've had her on
before. She writes for The Carolina Journal

339
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:10.160
North State Journal. She had to
like driver kid too. I don't remember

340
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.640
where it was, but it seemed
way out of the way just to get

341
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.759
sort a kid could could do it. So are there openings maybe before that

342
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:21.920
if you're willing to travel a whole
bunch? None of it makes sense.

343
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.319
But remember we literally like we ran
into like a bankrupt dot a few years

344
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.279
ago, and I don't know if
anyone really answered for that because it turned

345
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:36.559
into a big political thing. But
like all that money was just gone with

346
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:41.079
all these half done projects, and
like nothing really happened with it, and

347
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.880
like when the money then, when
there was then money that came back,

348
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:51.519
like the projects didn't restart, but
neither did the money apparently get funneled to

349
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:56.319
the DMVs. So god only know, like this is basic stuff. You

350
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.480
got to get the basic stuff before
you start into your special project stuff.

351
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.680
But I feel like we just divert
the funds there almost immediately. You see

352
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:10.400
it at the federal level right now, where it's like, all right,

353
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.880
this is one of your stated parts
of government. Obviously, states are different,

354
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:18.200
they have different duties. Beds are
supposed to be limited. But like

355
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.079
I've seen this for years where they
take like transit funding and they want to

356
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.839
build these illustrious bike trails or remember
when they were talking about putting like a

357
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:32.680
pedestrian bike lane in the middle of
the weight extension, and it's like,

358
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.960
why don't you just get the roads
and the DMV handled and then like maybe

359
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:44.400
we can talk about that. So
all right, all right, people are

360
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:45.759
sending me all their horror stories.
No no, no, no, I

361
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.759
hear you. But you're all on
the road and you're all giant safety hazard.

362
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.480
Apparently. Let me grab one more
call and then we get into the

363
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.880
other stuff next segment, Jason,
what's up? Hey? So two things.

364
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.799
Well, so I'm gonna have to
carry about seventeen year old because of

365
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:06.000
the DMV being so backed up for
his Level two license. Part. But

366
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:10.400
I think the appointment stuff, there's
only for driving tests. For all the

367
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:12.640
other stuff, you can get there
when they first opened up. That's when

368
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:18.759
the ticket stuff comes into effect.
Now you also get a ticket when you

369
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.200
go after lunch to gotta squeeze in
a driving test. But about the appointment,

370
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.400
Yeah, so if I'm not able
to get him in, I've got

371
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.200
I lived in Rocky Mountain. I
got to drive him all the way to

372
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:37.720
Mount Harry to go take his driving
test because that was the closest appointment to

373
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.559
get him. If not, I
was the last wait till December when I

374
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.680
scheduled. Is now the second part. I think that lady probably lives Rocky

375
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:52.759
mount because between Rocky Mountain Nashville they
put sixth round about and nobody will stop

376
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.519
at the yield. They'll pull out
in front of you while you're going around

377
00:26:55.559 --> 00:27:00.440
the purples. It's crazy. Ross. Did you want to respond on since

378
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.720
he was addressing you, not talking
to me, Well, it's for anybody.

379
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:07.440
I was just you know, I'm
just I'm just giving griefs sir.

380
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:17.240
Yeah. Now, the round about
fixations, all right, there's literally six

381
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:22.759
between Rocky Mountain Nashville, and it's
not it's probably five or six miles and

382
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.319
they're six round about. I remember
when they first when they put that big

383
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.839
one in, when they first put
it in around NC State, it was

384
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.240
initially a double laner, and I
remember going through there and watching this and

385
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.200
I'm like, everyone is all the
college students are going to die, and

386
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.799
I it was really quick that they
knocked it down to a one, just

387
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.920
a single lane. And I don't
know that we can handle that here in

388
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.960
North Carolina. But oh man,
it's like a whole way thought somebody trying

389
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.200
to be vice and let the other
firston threw of messing up the whole rotation.

390
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.720
But yeah, good, good to
hear y'all. See later, all

391
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:03.799
right, Rogan, that's a whole
n I mean, the double ones are

392
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.920
a little difficult from time to time
and people aren't used to them, so

393
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.079
maybe they shouldn't have started there when
they start putting it around NC State.

394
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:17.799
But now they got what like five
over there, maybe even more so if

395
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:19.759
you don't know it by now,
probably not best to drive over there.

396
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.680
All right. So what's it like
to be poor? Well, if you're

397
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:30.079
somebody who lives in one of the
really rich suburbs of Chicago, you don't

398
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:36.160
know, but you know you want
to be empathetic. So wait till you

399
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:41.319
hear what they're doing to educate folks
on poverty. But they're doing it rich

400
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.200
suburb style. That story, Pete, Calendar, your calls coming up.

401
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:56.519
Case O Day radio program, keeping
you connected. This is f w PTI

402
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:03.640
in the Triad and one oh six
one them talk in the Triangle, all

403
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:11.119
right, six fifty three and uh
good Friday morning, a c O Day

404
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:15.680
radio program, just terrifying everyone on
the road. What we do? All

405
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.160
right, let me grab it.
I'll look at that. Yes, Boston,

406
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:23.960
Paul, what do you want?
Hey? Yeah? This private security

407
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:30.519
downtown. I thought they already had. I thought they already had the ambassadors

408
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.240
down here. It was supposed to
be doing all that, you know,

409
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.119
But I guess that's not worth it. Then she tried and no turn on

410
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.880
red all over the downtown that was
supposed to solve all the crime. I

411
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:44.119
guess that didn't work. So now
we're gonna have people running around and saying

412
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.119
stop her. I'll tell you to
stop again. Well, I mean this

413
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.839
is more Glenwood where we've had you
know, stabbings. We had a guy

414
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:56.200
literally get beaten to death, and
then the dude apparently bragged on social media

415
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.720
about doing it. So and I
was looking at the lists of arrests and

416
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:06.640
various infraction. State's out of control
man, and yes, you know,

417
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:11.279
let's let's put on armed Let's put
some unarmed folks with no arrest powers in

418
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.880
there. That should obviously solve the
problem. So, but it's not just

419
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.279
client where it goes from Goingwood all
the way to more Square. So I

420
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:22.920
don't get what is this part of
the defund the police program that they got

421
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.720
going on. I don't think it's
a combination of things, which is why

422
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.599
we're gonna get into it a little
later. And it's not just Raleigh.

423
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.039
I mean, they have these issues
in Greensboro, down on Elm Charlotte.

424
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:37.160
They have people run around just pooping
wherever they please. So that's nice.

425
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:44.720
You know, I was. I
was downtown in Winston Salem here during one

426
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.039
of the summer concert things down there, and well I saw a law enforcement

427
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:53.240
in the general area where you know, where the music was going on,

428
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:57.519
like one of the parking garages that
people were smashing car windows in there and

429
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:06.160
nobody was doing anything like there's so
they should give them at least a revolval

430
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.440
at one bullet, you know,
and then you know they can have the

431
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:14.160
other guy running around siting citizens rast
citizens. Rast they given one, they're

432
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:18.920
probably gonna be out guns. So
let me ask you, really, did

433
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:23.440
you pass your your actual North Carolina
driving stuff or you want of these scofflaws

434
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:29.680
that somebody cheated for you people CEO
that you had that guy with the CBO.

435
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:32.599
I have a CBO and he's correct
with every five years, he can't

436
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:36.519
you. And I said to the
person there, it's pretty stupid. You

437
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.240
know. I got a little bit
of high blood pressure, so I have

438
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.759
to have a physical every year.
You know, it's a full physical.

439
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.200
It's part I got to go to
the DMV to get an eye test.

440
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:51.039
I mean, it's pretty ridiculous.
Should yeah, And like I've seen you

441
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.200
guys drive, Yeah, you can't
even drive over a bridge with your political

442
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:57.079
aids in the car without killing people. So like, I'm terrified. I

443
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:02.759
haven't. I haven't had a movie
violation in forty seven years. Well they

444
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.079
got to catch it. So plus, you like you just flipped out year

445
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:09.279
old I used to be a cop
thing right, and they just let you

446
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.279
go? Is that how that works? I don't know what you're talking about?

447
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.640
All right, all right, yeah, do you have a good day?

448
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.160
How was your weekend? Yeah?
Yeah, I'll think about it.

449
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.720
I mean, probably get t bone
and killed, but whatever. Can you

450
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:28.799
imagine how high your blood pressure would
be if you're taking down Weddy Buls you're

451
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:35.240
like bossing Paul like for the end
of your days. I blood pressure just

452
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:39.359
like handicapping what this season is gonna
look like for his teams. So I

453
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:45.599
might have something to do with it. I just Boston, Boston. Plus

454
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.240
he's got it, Like didn't he
buy an RV or something too? I

455
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.359
think he's got a camper. So
like, if he's driving that and he's

456
00:32:52.440 --> 00:33:00.720
driving it poorly, you don't stand
a chance against that man. But yeah,

457
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.920
no, to your point with the
high blood pressure, I'm sure sure

458
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.400
that's totally what it is, the
whitey bulger thing, all right, So

459
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.720
check this out. I love this
story. So in a Highland Park,

460
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:15.160
Illinois, the city of Highland Park
decided to partner with the Alliance for Human

461
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:23.359
Services Family Focus blah blah blah anyway, basically a bunch of the welfare groups

462
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:32.759
programs various charities to help educate citizens
by holding a poverty simulation event to help

463
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:39.240
increase residents understanding an awareness of what
it's like to live in poverty. So

464
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:45.599
you live in a very, very
nice and I don't begrudge you part of

465
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:52.599
Chicago. These are huge houses,
and they somehow think that if you show

466
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:58.039
up on this Saturday between nine and
eleven thirty and pretend to be poor for

467
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.960
two and a half hours at an
event that I kid you not is being

468
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:09.199
held at a country club, that
you'll understand what it's like to live on

469
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:15.960
that poverty line, scraping by trying
to make ends meet just the humbers on

470
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:20.840
that man. You leave your you
leave your three million dollar house to go

471
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.360
to this country club and then you
have to pretend to be poor. How

472
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:29.840
do you pretend to be poor for
two and a half hours to it?

473
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:31.719
You could watch a movie and not
expend any money and just say I was

474
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:37.000
poor for two hours. But no, that is how out of touch this

475
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.920
is. And I just love that
it's at the country club. All right.

476
00:34:42.199 --> 00:35:15.760
News is nax Thang on good Friday
morn and everybody welcome. It is

477
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:22.000
our number two here on the ca
c O Day radio program. So we

478
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:30.280
got one big bastard of a storm
ruin out in the Caribbean. We'll chat

479
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:36.159
with Ken Boone in wait stage.
It is still taking this Clemson thing hard,

480
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:39.559
isn't he? I wonder if he
was also rooty for the Chiefs.

481
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.679
Dude, that was a disaster.
Did you watch any of that yesterday?

482
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.599
Ross? Did you watch any of
the I went to bed sort of early,

483
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:51.400
but I went got up at like
two am to go to the gym

484
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.679
today and I was checking out,
you know, like all the clips and

485
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:59.039
stuff on Twitter. Dude, Dude, not good when even when even like

486
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:05.679
Chris collins Worth is calling out the
blatant none calls, it's bad. I

487
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:08.920
mean there was that, but there
was also it was just like ineptitude.

488
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.719
And I understand that Kelsey was out
and Mahomes had a little some something,

489
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:20.840
but like they just won the Super
Bowl and they look like bad news Bears.

490
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:23.320
Man. I couldn't even describe it. And I remember before the game,

491
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:28.000
I was watching a bunch of people
that were shifting once Kelsey was announced

492
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.079
out, like a bunch of people
were doing money line Lions bets and it

493
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:35.199
was moving the line, and I
remember thinking, come on, man,

494
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.920
it's the Lions. I hope the
Lions are not as good as they were

495
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:45.159
made to look yesterday because we need
those two wins in the division. As

496
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:50.159
a Vikings fan, like I need
the Lions to suck, and they didn't

497
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:53.000
look like they sucked yesterday. But
that might have just been Kansas City.

498
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:57.679
But you got to be pumped because
obviously that's like, you know, it's

499
00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:01.039
like a big, big stumbling block
for you guys right there, ow and

500
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:04.440
one. So now if we lose
it on Monday, I'll feel better.

501
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.800
You're not gonna if you're not gonna
lose to the Jets, I'm confused.

502
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:09.679
So why didn't Mahomes just rush for
like one hundred and fifty one hundred and

503
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:15.239
eighty yards? What I understand,
Like, you know, he had some

504
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:17.519
of his receivers out and stuff,
and he didn't have the weapons that he's

505
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.119
always had from the start of his
career. Being surrounded by these all pros,

506
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:27.639
why didn't he just jump over guys, stiff arm people and run for

507
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:32.760
two hundred yards just as as good
quarterbacks do. Exactly. Well, look,

508
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.280
he couldn't scramble if he wanted his
line. Did you see his line

509
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:39.440
was lining up? Yeah? Yeah, somebody said it best on Twitter,

510
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.719
like they were lining up halfway to
Arkansas. Yeah, you're not gonna standing

511
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.199
at that point. He's standing right
next to the guy fall starting every single

512
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:50.960
every single possession. I guess they
finally called in the fourth quarter when they

513
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.000
were in like third and twenty or
something. But you guys are you're the

514
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.800
Monday You're the Monday Night game,
right, Yeah? Yeah, because Cowboys

515
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:00.599
are the Sunday Night. And then
the Vike and started playing the Thursday Night

516
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:05.639
against the Eagles, which we're just
we're gonna get pillaged in that game.

517
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:14.159
Let's see who who plays the Patriots
first? Oh that is the Eagles,

518
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:19.280
All right, well they're gonna slam
them. We play the Buccaneers. No,

519
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.719
Tom Brady, I don't know,
should be interesting, but yeah,

520
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.800
I do not want to see Detroit
good. I texted Brian the bad boardop

521
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:29.159
while that was going on, since
he's a Vikings fan too, and he's

522
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:31.760
like, I'm not even watching,
don't care, So I don't know if

523
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:36.360
he's cashed out for the season already, but I wouldn't blame him, by

524
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:42.440
the way, dude, go back
to this, but you know, I'll

525
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.639
mix that in a little later because
I don't want to just sit here and

526
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.199
do sports in this. We got
to talk about the Liberty Safe thing.

527
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:51.039
I want to get into this yesterday
and then obviously I was, I was,

528
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:55.119
I was in no condition yesterday,
so we didn't get to But this

529
00:38:55.320 --> 00:39:00.440
Liberty Safe thing is crazy. Now
if you don't know the details, then

530
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:06.119
you don't have internet, I guess, because it's like the only thing I've

531
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.920
seen on my Twitter timeline for like
two days and it goes like this,

532
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:13.719
and I want to I want to
be very accurate here. So Liberty Safe,

533
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.519
which, obviously, if you listen
to this station, is a name

534
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:22.679
you are probably familiar with because what
Glenn Beck and Dorston forevertted Hannity like,

535
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:28.400
they've had a they've been they've been
part Yeah, like everyone except us.

536
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:30.920
It would have been nice to get
some of that, but the big national

537
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:37.039
guys, Liberty Safe has been a
constant advertiser. Now Liberty Safe the people

538
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:42.960
who started it and built it,
they don't own it anymore. A Hedge

539
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:47.920
fund bought it, and the Hedge
Fund, arguably, if you look at

540
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:55.000
their pattern of political donations, doesn't
seem to jive with typically who you would

541
00:39:55.039 --> 00:40:01.920
see as a Liberty Safe enthusiast.
Whether that was instructive about what happened.

542
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:07.480
I don't know how many of you
knew though, that you're Liberty Safe,

543
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:13.639
and it's not just liberty there's some
brands that do, some that don't that.

544
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.239
People at Liberty Safe had a master
code, so there was ever a

545
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:21.639
problem they could they could crack it
open. Maybe you did, maybe it

546
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:25.559
didn't. However, how many of
you assumed that they would hand that over

547
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:34.119
to law enforcement without a specific warrant
or court order requiring it, because that's

548
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.360
what they did, And it baffles
me, Like, if you want to

549
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:43.400
talk about a consumer group, this
isn't bud Light, that's which people are

550
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:47.400
sitting there calling it. This is
much more targeted and specific right Liberty Safe,

551
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:55.519
liberty in the name market it almost
exclusively in conservative talk radio everywhere and

552
00:40:55.639 --> 00:41:00.199
on Fox News channel they run a
bunch of ads, but like this was

553
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:05.400
their demographic. It was all about
Second Amendment. It was all about freedom

554
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:12.960
and liberty and all of it.
So when it came time for a request

555
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:19.679
based on a larger search warrant for
a home liberty safe gave law enforcement the

556
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:23.239
access to the safe, the master
code instead of holding out for a specific

557
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:28.880
court order. It's two different things, right, two different things, and

558
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:35.519
they had access to this. I
don't know how you screw that up.

559
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:39.920
How like I'm not in the safe
business. But if I'm sitting there and

560
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:45.599
you know, I'm in the even
like middle management. And some dude comes

561
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:46.960
in and say, hey, we
just got an email from the FBI.

562
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:52.199
They're searching this guy's house and they
want to get in the safe, but

563
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:54.400
he won't give them the code,
So can we give them the master code?

564
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:59.440
And you don't say, I'm sorry, did they have a specific court

565
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:06.840
order forcing us? And if the
answers no, hell no, they just

566
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:14.199
did it man. And the blowback
has been bonkers. How many of you

567
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:19.719
have a liberty safe? I have
a liberty safe, just super clear.

568
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:22.599
I don't have the big beast that
some of you guys have, but I

569
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:30.400
do, and I didn't know,
right, I was not aware that that

570
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:35.280
was a thing. So now liberty
is safe. They put a statement out

571
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.880
saying, uh, yeah, you
So in the future, we're going to

572
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.199
allow people to opt out of us
having this master code. However, if

573
00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:45.199
you ever run into an issue where
you can't remember your combination or the or

574
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:49.800
the electronic lock fails, I guess
you're gonna have to hit it with a

575
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:55.360
cutting torch or something. But really
doesn't. But then, like in the

576
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:00.440
statement literally points out that they just
they didn't even wait for the actual court

577
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:05.199
order. They just gave it.
Like, it doesn't look like they're changing

578
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:08.840
that part of it. So who
the who the safe company is going to

579
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:14.760
be able to come in and steal
market share like they are, you know

580
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.119
in the bud Light thing with the
with the twenty six percent loss and then

581
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:22.760
MODELO swoops in there. I don't
know who that's gonna be, but people

582
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:28.480
are peeved. Man. The problem
is is it's not a case of bud

583
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:30.639
Light that you can go out in
the field and shoot up with your Uzi

584
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:37.480
and make a TikTok video. Those
saves are incredibly expensive, so like,

585
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.119
what do you do in that instance? And I've seen a lot of people

586
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:43.239
saying, what you want to do
is you got to take the serial number

587
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.920
on the outside off, so there's
no way to match it up. And

588
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.239
I don't know if that's gonna work. I guess you can go through the

589
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:52.880
op ed thing because you've already made
the invest or the opt out thing,

590
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.199
because you've already made the investment.
But when it comes to selling of new

591
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.800
saves, it'll take a long time
to figure out what the impact is going

592
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:07.119
to be. But the speed at
which people are willing to squander and irritate

593
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:13.880
their customer base, especially with this
man, because it's not as broad like

594
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:19.440
bud Light, you know, ran
the political gamut well with liberty safes.

595
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:22.639
I gotta think that most of the
people who bought it, obviously your Second

596
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:30.199
Amendment folks, right, that's way
by the liberty safe. Like it's like

597
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.199
ninety percent of your customers are going
to be people who are going to be

598
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:37.679
deeply offended by this. And they
did it anyway, And then we're like,

599
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.599
Dad, you know, it is
what it is. In the future,

600
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:45.280
we'll do you know, we'll try
to do better kind of but we

601
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:47.840
won't actually address the bigger issue of
you know, people want you to go

602
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:52.679
and fight for them in the same
way that people on the left demand the

603
00:44:52.719 --> 00:45:00.719
companies stand up and expouse their political
bl to the point where they're willing to

604
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:06.800
literally push back on government. How
many companies who wanted to make a point,

605
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:08.480
we're willing to tell Donald Trump,
I don't care what you're trying to

606
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:13.320
do, We're not going to take
part in this, or to make statements

607
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:20.559
like Disney did where they stepped forward
and they ran this little this this wheel

608
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:23.559
of interviews with people going, yeah, I'm trying to make everything that we

609
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:28.800
do. Remember these producers like,
yeah, I'm trying to implement all of

610
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:31.800
these things in every project that I
work on so that I can be an

611
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:37.760
advocate for LGBTQ stuff. And then
you had management willing to do that.

612
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:47.000
How many companies issued statements over the
All Star Game? Remember they would,

613
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:51.800
they would, they would all issue
a statement over this voting change law in

614
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:58.159
Georgia, which had less teeth than
many Blue states and was being wildly misrepresented.

615
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:04.159
Yet multiple airlines, Delta air Lines
was willing to step up. I

616
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:08.679
think it was Southwest as well,
and others to issue statements and directly take

617
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:14.599
a position, and that is expected
by people on the left. On the

618
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:19.800
right though, they just like there's
almost this expectation who just stay neutral.

619
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.199
But with Liberty Safe, people are
saying, no, this is your fight,

620
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:28.440
this is what you need to do. You need to be an advocate

621
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:34.280
for this, because you've have marketed
exclusively to people who have this very strong

622
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:40.199
position about privacy and Second Amendment stuff
and they just they had no plan to

623
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:46.800
do any of that. And I
think it's worse than bud Light if you

624
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:52.000
just want to get into market share. If what I'm seeing on social media

625
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:54.360
is to be believed, this is
not going to go well. All right,

626
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:58.679
let me grab a call Jamal,
what's up? Hey, Okay,

627
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.199
see what's going on in this on
and saw you had an upset stomaching.

628
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.880
You know, he was, you
know, your bowsers all over the place.

629
00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:08.559
But KC, let me say this
Liberty is Safe. When they were

630
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:14.920
sold that this hedge fund group people
should have been known because I'm gonna tell

631
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:19.840
you, YKC, you made a
perfect example about Disney when they was talking

632
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:22.119
about they're trying you know, they're
slipping in the homosexual stuff. And they're

633
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:27.400
purposely trying to you know, and
this is what they were clear everything up

634
00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:32.320
because that's what they said. But
KC these companies, that's why they want

635
00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:38.400
these traditional low taxes, limited government
people because they figured out how to take

636
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:44.719
the old Republican conservative talking points and
use them against us. Liberty Safe.

637
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:49.920
The people who bought it, they're
not for a Second Amendment rights, they're

638
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:52.280
not for this stuff. This is
a hedge fund group. And like you

639
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:58.599
said, look who the people on
they donated liberal conservatives excuse me, liberal

640
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.639
building. There's a millionars because a
lot of people either old this Democrats,

641
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.239
four people yeah, fider wants send
up there saying yeah, with you try

642
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:12.159
to be poor for about three hundred
thousand dollars. But these are the people,

643
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:17.320
Casey, that don't mind losing money
to win. So if this heads

644
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:23.039
phone group an't Liberty Safe, who
to say they did? They bought it

645
00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:27.519
for what? What was that purpose
for buying it? Was it just to

646
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.679
make money? Because if it was
just to make money and they had no

647
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:37.760
no inkling to try to defend people
and their rights, then this is what

648
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:44.119
you're saying. It's like right now, live your question, let me answer

649
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:46.440
your questions. Yes, I think
it absolutely was. I think they saw

650
00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:52.440
a company that was seen remarkable growth
but was under capitalized even with some of

651
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:57.880
the expansion, and they and they
saw an opportunity. The problem is is

652
00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:02.760
that you lose the spirit of it. And when the spirit product is what

653
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:07.039
market said, then you don't have
anyone with that spirit who's willing to defend

654
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:12.039
it right because it's path the least
resistance. It's just another project in your

655
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:16.960
portfolio. And while that may work
for some products that are politically innocuous,

656
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:22.199
this is not one of them.
So to remove the spirit and the enthusiasm

657
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:27.800
of the founders and the people who
built that company, so when the rubber

658
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:30.199
did meet the road and you weren't
willing to stand up after watching all these

659
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:36.679
companies issue statements over Georgia's voting laws
and everything else, Yeah, is yet

660
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:40.920
another giant letdown, and one that
is almost exclusively going to be aimed at

661
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:47.079
people who are Second Amendment arden supporters
and privacy folks. It's it's just who

662
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:51.760
to say, o, casey,
who to say it wants some little blue

663
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:54.360
hair, blue hair, uniform hair. Oh my god, I will sing

664
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:59.440
them ribl who sit here and say
oh no, this is well, yes,

665
00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:01.480
we will have you get these guys
off there, because these are the

666
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:06.719
people that's working in these heads fun
groups. These heads fun groups, people

667
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:10.679
hire these radical liberals. Matter of
fact, perfect example, look at Fox

668
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:15.360
News. How many people said,
oh Fox News is really changing, really

669
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:19.519
changing. Then you come to find
out heads, funs groups like black walking,

670
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.840
all these other things that came associated
with then you're like, well,

671
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.920
wow, I haven't seen it.
And it's like conservative businesses who are supposed

672
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:31.800
to be alternatives to what liberals are
doing because the other safe places out there,

673
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:38.480
but liberties say particularly marketed to people
like hey, we're a Second Amendment

674
00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:43.519
group, this is what we do. We'll defend you. This is a

675
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:46.519
private safe We're not gonna be doing
these things, and give people this comfort

676
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:51.599
and knowing, hey, hey I
can get you guys. You know I'm

677
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:53.239
gonna be defended, but you don't
know. I'm sorry, I only got

678
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:55.840
about thirty seconds. Let me say
this, you don't even think that you

679
00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:59.920
don't even have to defend for that
reason. And I appreciate the call there,

680
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.199
Jamal, have a good weekend,
s all right, you don't have

681
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:07.280
to defend it for that reason.
You don't have to be like, yeah,

682
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:08.480
we hold firm to the tenants of
it. You just have to look

683
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:13.480
at it and go, we're gonna
screw this investment. Man. If you

684
00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:21.440
fundamentally remove the privacy and safety part
of a product called to safe based on

685
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:27.320
the government not having to fulfill their
all of their obligations, you're undermining your

686
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.280
entire product. It's wasted money.
Think about it. We'll be back.

687
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:42.360
Thank you. K c is PTI
in the Triad and one oh six one

688
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:49.000
FM Talk in the Triangle. Let
me give you a more succinct example,

689
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:55.519
and I think it's a really good
one of why arguably this liberty safe thing

690
00:51:55.679 --> 00:52:02.639
is a much larger violation of your
customers expectations. I've said it many times

691
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:07.960
on the radio. One of the
pieces of advice that a guy in this

692
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:14.159
business that I respect I used to
say, and he'd say it frequently.

693
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:20.519
He said, never violate the expectations
of your listeners. Okay, that's,

694
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:23.559
you know, pretty good advice.
But it's not just radio. It goes

695
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:30.679
for whatever industry. If you're dealing
and attempting to attract customers that you engage

696
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:37.159
in, if you violate the expectations, the trust that is put in you,

697
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:42.079
it's going to have backlash, but
not all is created equal. With

698
00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:45.559
the bud light example, I don't
know that there was expectations per se.

699
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:52.400
Most people are on just the mulveny
thing. But arguably what was a bigger

700
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:57.920
screw you was the attitude that the
marketing woman had about the customer base.

701
00:52:58.159 --> 00:53:01.239
All right, That's where the real
violation took place. Because if they did

702
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:05.360
just come out and said, look
when it cans, we we said,

703
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:09.599
who is the one hundred you know, most influential people on TikTok right now?

704
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:13.559
And we did. Every one of
those people, we sent them a

705
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:16.039
can. Didn't matter what they were
engaged in. This thing would have gone

706
00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:21.760
away. But that couple with that
video of that woman, that was the

707
00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:29.719
violation with Liberty Safe, a brand
that was specifically marketed marketed as we got

708
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:35.599
you, We're with you. Second
Amendment. Safety government no is is about

709
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:39.280
you and your ability to lock and
a lockdown your things, keep them safe

710
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:44.039
from prime and eyes, not just
people you know there to rob you,

711
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:52.119
but providing you security. People have
higher expectations when you deviate from that stated

712
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:59.400
main goal. Right, you buy
a safe to secure stuff from burglars from

713
00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:04.320
your kids, maybe right for safety
purposes, you do it too. Also,

714
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:09.079
you know, have that little uh
have that little uh good feeling knowing

715
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:15.280
that you're in business with people who
agree and share your thoughts, your ideas,

716
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:17.960
and your goals. And one of
the goals that I think we should

717
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:27.239
have is government, especially law enforcement. Right. I expect law enforcement to

718
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:31.960
want to do whatever they think they
have to do to you know, to

719
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:37.119
uh to adjudicate justice, right I
have. I got no beef with that.

720
00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:39.280
I'll give you an example and then
I'll go back to the other thing

721
00:54:39.320 --> 00:54:44.719
I was talking about. So the
main example is there there was a story

722
00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:50.599
a few years ago where they were
going up to like town homes, right,

723
00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:55.559
so they were directly abudding the public
sidewalk and they were walking uh drug

724
00:54:55.639 --> 00:55:01.280
dogs through there, and like it's
loose enough now to like the living rooms

725
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:06.639
of these homes that the dogs may
catch a whiff open windows something like that,

726
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:12.440
and they were saying that that is
probable cause and that turned into a

727
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:15.039
big I can't remember if it was
Baltimore or Philly where they were doing this,

728
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:20.039
but it creates what law enforcement is
trying to do. Is they want

729
00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:22.679
to they want to be able to
do this, and I'm looking at this

730
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:24.840
from the purest forms. Let's not
turn this into an argument, but understand

731
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:30.920
this. They want the path of
least resistance to accomplish their goal, and

732
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:34.639
I have no problem with them fighting
for that within the bounds of the law.

733
00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:37.800
So that was challenged, and then
privacy advocates are going, no,

734
00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:44.840
you can't do that. That's a
Fourth Amendment violation. That's crazy. And

735
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:47.719
then you go into court and you
figure out who's right. We may not

736
00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:52.800
agree with what happens, but both
sides fight it out. And the example

737
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:55.239
I was going to give on the
consumer side is, do you remember when

738
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:00.800
Apple fought tooth and nail after the
government demand ended that they showed them how

739
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:07.280
to unlock the iPhones. Right,
it was some terrorist investigation, Right it

740
00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:08.639
was. It was a pretty high
profile thing, and they wanted into this

741
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:13.199
phone. It was a terrorists were
one of the big mass shooters. I

742
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.119
can't remember what it was, but
they wanted in this phone and Apple said,

743
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:23.119
no, we're not. And they
had deeper concerns like if we create

744
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:27.360
a tool or show you how to
do it, then you might be able

745
00:56:27.400 --> 00:56:30.679
to recreate it. And now there's
a tool floating around that if ever got

746
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:34.519
leaked or uploaded the internet, or
somebody you know, dropped a USB thing

747
00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:42.360
somewhere, feasibly could undermine our entire
security system. And Apple went to court.

748
00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:45.880
They spent the money, they fought
the fight. Even though it's easy

749
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:47.320
to say, look, they just
want to get into a terrorist phone,

750
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:53.119
you should want them to do it. No, I want law enforcement to

751
00:56:53.159 --> 00:56:55.800
say that they should, and I
want Apple to say, look, we

752
00:56:55.920 --> 00:57:00.719
made a promise to our customers that
this is providing the best level of security

753
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:04.840
and we're not going to do anything
to undermine it. But if you want

754
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:07.719
to go to court and we fight
it all out and that's where it ends,

755
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:13.440
then we'll do what we have to
do. And Apple didn't fully win,

756
00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:16.320
but they didn't fully lose either,
but they fought on behalf of their

757
00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:21.840
customers and their business for that matter, because if their security is undermined,

758
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:28.880
they may not sell as many phones. That's why it is baffling to me

759
00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.400
that Liberty didn't go. You know, this is a warrant for searching the

760
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:37.159
premises. This is not a warrant
to get into a safe. This is

761
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:40.400
not a court order dictating it in
the same way that a separate court order

762
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:45.760
for digital searches, cloud searches.
All of these things in new technology have

763
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:51.639
to be adjudicated and figured out because
it's ever evolving, and I understand law

764
00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:54.400
enforcement is going to have the fervor
to say no, we think we can

765
00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:59.480
do this, and others will say
no, you can't, and it will

766
00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:04.159
be fought out out and we'll figure
out the answer. Liberty didn't do any

767
00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:07.119
of that, as best I can
tell, and that is why it is

768
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:15.360
a much more grievous violation of the
expectation of their customers because you didn't how

769
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:20.559
they're back man. So anyway you
want to weigh in on it, feel

770
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:22.400
free. Let me grab a quick
call here. Wayne's holding on. What's

771
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:27.440
up? Wayne? Hey? Ye
have to go on this morning to see

772
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:31.679
he is going, Sir. I
just wanted to touch on the Liberty safe.

773
00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:36.719
We were looking for a safe last
year and we had a Liberty distributor

774
00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:42.000
and mebbin that we went and looked
at their safe and there's two factors that

775
00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:45.679
I was looking at, and I
found out that Liberty doesn't offer a black

776
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:50.239
up key for getting into the safe. To keep Headwin out. They just

777
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:53.960
basically say they'd have to call off
a rocksmith or somebody who could break into

778
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:58.719
a safe to get into it.
So that was one of the main factors

779
00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:02.199
of why we didn't go with the
Liberty Safe. The other was the expense.

780
00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:07.679
I mean, the Liberty safe were
really expensive if you get on up

781
00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:12.800
into the tea for a plan that
we wanted, and we ended up going

782
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:17.679
to Mace Gun Story in Maben and
bought our safe. Uh and I'm going

783
00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:23.039
to blank company of which brand it
was, but it wasn't it was exactful.

784
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:27.159
I'm sorry, go ahead, Oh
no, it's God, I like

785
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:31.320
bess right on the people who know
where it is there, So yeah,

786
00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:36.599
that is correct, and we bought
the safe there. Uh. It does

787
00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:42.519
come with a backup key, and
looking at theirs, some of their sates

788
00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:46.400
have backup keys. But that was
one of the things that I was I've

789
00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:51.760
never heard anybody really complaining about the
keypads going bad, but at the same

790
00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:55.320
time, if it did and I
was in an emergency situation where I needed

791
00:59:55.320 --> 01:00:00.920
to get in my safe, having
a backup key is kind of a comfort

792
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:04.599
to me. So that's why we
went with the safe we chose. This

793
01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:07.239
is this is a good example.
Let me just say this. You did

794
01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:12.679
what is should be the normal customer
debate over brands. You did your research,

795
01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:15.679
you said this is important to me, this isn't. But I bet

796
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:19.880
it never crossed your mind when you
were looking at these different safe brands going

797
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:22.639
what would any of these brands do
if the FBI said, Hey, we

798
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:24.880
need to get in that safe.
We don't have a court order yet,

799
01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:29.519
but we give us the code.
Like, that's not a normal thing the

800
01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:31.639
consumers thinking about. Because you're thinking, this is a safe, I'm the

801
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:36.639
one who's only going to be able
to access it, right, And that

802
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:40.360
is why, Well I thought,
I thought once I programmed it with my

803
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:45.159
code, that no other code would
work. It had to be my code.

804
01:00:45.719 --> 01:00:49.000
So when you said that just a
little while ago, that there is

805
01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:52.440
a master code for the Liberty Safe
that the police could use, are they

806
01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:55.280
doing that for red flag laws?
I mean, what is the purpose of

807
01:00:55.320 --> 01:00:59.559
them that you could be able to
get into somebody's safe well without a court

808
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:02.119
order? Well, they like because
they had a warrant to search the premises,

809
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:07.000
and in this case it was a
J six defendant. You know,

810
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:10.280
I understand that they're gonna want to
get into safe. They just you make

811
01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:15.800
them go through the entirety of the
process, and you know, and you

812
01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:19.480
but you fight for it, and
you fight on behalf of the people who

813
01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:22.239
paid you all of that money for
your product, which look, I think

814
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:27.280
it's the quality of the safe is
nice. I appreciate the call there when

815
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:30.119
I was looking up at the clock
here. But if you don't have that

816
01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:34.880
backup, if you don't advocate it
like Apple did to protect not just you,

817
01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:39.719
but more importantly their brand and their
security, what are you even doing

818
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:45.719
because you, I mean, you
marketed that is we're family, and uh,

819
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:49.679
you threw family under the bus man. All right, seven forty five,

820
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.440
let's get Ken Moon from the weather
channel. You got a monster brewing

821
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:58.000
out there in the Caribbean. Sir. I'm doing well. I'm doing well.

822
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.639
We sure do. One hundred and
sixty five on our Cat five storm.

823
01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:07.639
Hurricane Lee is continuing to move towards
the west northwest at about fourteen miles

824
01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:09.880
per hour. We'll continue on that
track here as we head through the weekend.

825
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:14.199
It's staying north of the islands,
and right now all signs point to

826
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:16.679
it eventually turning towards the north and
eventually the northeast, which would keep it

827
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:21.920
away from the coastline of the United
States. However, we're still going to

828
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:23.880
have to closely monitor that is,
it hasn't made that turn yet and not

829
01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:28.000
forecast to do so until we get
into the early to middle part of the

830
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:30.639
upcoming work week, so we still
want to continue to monitor tour it whether

831
01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:35.719
it directly impacts. If it doesn't
directly impact the US, it certainly will

832
01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:38.280
indirectly with a lot of wave action
and dangerous surf and rip currents along the

833
01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:42.679
coastline. Hot out here again today, although not as hot as we were

834
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:45.519
yesterday where we saw record high's temperatures
today expected to reach the low nineties,

835
01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:49.239
a little bit hotter that when you
factor in the humidity, and just a

836
01:02:49.280 --> 01:02:52.400
slight chance for the late night showers
and storms today. Better storm chances over

837
01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:57.119
the weekend though, ninety three this
afternoon, mid eighties with showers and storms

838
01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:00.880
Saturday and Sunday. Dude, did
you see the game last night? You're

839
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:05.800
a football guy, right, I
am a football guy, but I didn't

840
01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:08.000
I saw the fourth quarter. I
didn't get a chance to see the first

841
01:03:08.280 --> 01:03:13.599
three quarters. It was like it
was like watching a high school team out

842
01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:16.920
there that like just wasn't jiving.
Those are the those are the super Bowl

843
01:03:17.039 --> 01:03:21.679
champs. Man, that was crazy. All yeah, they definitely missed Travis

844
01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:25.440
Kelcey. Uh yeah, that dude's
their whole offense. I guess all right,

845
01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:28.719
thank you much, sir, previate
it. We'll talk in an hour.

846
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:32.079
Yeah, that was that was crazy, all right, seven forty seven.

847
01:03:32.239 --> 01:03:44.639
Back in just a few Hang on, it's one oh six one FM

848
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:52.079
Talk in the Triangle and here's talk
w PTI and the Triad. You know,

849
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:55.440
maybe they should just be happy people
are donating stuff. Did you see

850
01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:59.679
the roster? You see when somebody
tried to donate to a good will store

851
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:06.840
in Uh where where'd this Arizona?
Yeah, now you haven't seen this story,

852
01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:10.039
so what do you what do you
think the thing is? It's in

853
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:15.519
the news that somebody tried to donate
below it like an inflatable doll. Uh

854
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:21.199
no, but I could just see
where they just throw that away. Probably

855
01:04:21.239 --> 01:04:29.679
wouldn't call authorities. Uh nope,
human skull a donation box left it a

856
01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:40.159
goodwill in good Year, Arizona surprised
surprised workers who contacted police after Inside of

857
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:45.840
the box, they found a dream
catcher that had a human skull as part

858
01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:48.599
of it. By the way,
what dreams are you catching with a dream

859
01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:56.440
catcher with a human skull in it? And a pretty screwed up looking one

860
01:04:56.480 --> 01:04:59.920
to boot? I might add,
By the way, I bet that thing

861
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.880
would sell for a pretty penny.
Some creepy person's gonna want that. Man.

862
01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:06.159
No, man, you gotta come
on, you gotta frame it,

863
01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:09.239
you gotta put it up there best
I can. He was like, five

864
01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:12.920
bucks. It's in the dream catcher, so it's part of it. It's

865
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:14.800
arsen, Dude, I don't know
how long it's going to be in my

866
01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:18.320
shop, for like five minutes.
Do you think some freak's not gonna come

867
01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:21.480
in and be like, this is
exactly what I'm looking for? Fifty,

868
01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:26.760
I'll give you seven fifty. I
if I if I walked into Goodwill right

869
01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:30.079
now and I saw this, knowing
that your birthday's coming up, you would

870
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:33.480
you would have a very interesting present
coming your way, That's what I'm saying.

871
01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:36.519
I would put it up in my
studio window and terrify everyone. It'd

872
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:41.079
be great. Yeah, that would
freak him out. Wouldn't it. I

873
01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:43.519
mean, it's weird enough. Some
of the stuff is just chilling in the

874
01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:45.079
window. But yeah, you throw
a dream catcher with a human skull.

875
01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:51.719
Oh, let's see. Please say
the skull appears to be historical. Dude,

876
01:05:51.840 --> 01:05:55.679
here's the other thing. If it's
part of a dream catcher, right,

877
01:05:55.719 --> 01:05:58.119
which is kind of you know,
Native American kind of thing, and

878
01:05:58.199 --> 01:06:01.440
it is like a Native American and
skull. How cursed is that? It's

879
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:09.119
the first thing I was thinking,
which is exactly why this is the greatest

880
01:06:09.159 --> 01:06:12.880
gift to give somebody. I wouldn't
give it to you. I'd find somebody

881
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:17.159
who I want to be cursed.
But ah, I mean it's history.

882
01:06:17.199 --> 01:06:21.079
And then somebody put like glass eyes
in it. The whole thing looks creepy,

883
01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:27.280
man. I wonder why they parted
with it. Probably because the Poulter

884
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:31.639
guist right, skull is undergoing testing. They'll try to figure out how old

885
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:38.280
it is. But Goodwill would like
you to know that among the items,

886
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:47.320
they would not prefer you donate our
taxidermied bones of animals, humans, anything

887
01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:51.400
that's not really their bag. I
don't know, man, like a nice

888
01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:57.679
I think, like a nice mounted
elkhead or something. You could probably sell

889
01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:04.480
the heck out of that. Let's
see, Yeah, that thing looks super

890
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:08.320
old, but yeah, if you
robbed it from a grave or something,

891
01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:11.960
it's probably super cursed. You might
as well put Aztec gold as the eyes

892
01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:15.159
and just go full on man.
Yeah, that's for like, you give

893
01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:21.639
that to your mother in law.
They give it your mother in law,

894
01:07:23.079 --> 01:07:27.400
just be like, here we got
you something thinking of you. I know

895
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:30.760
you like art, Here you go. I'm curious what the dream catchers made

896
01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:34.119
of? Too? Is like sinew? Is there human parts in there?

897
01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:44.159
Dude? That's crazy? What else
was in the box? Too? Would

898
01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:46.440
give any clues? Like somebody had
to go clean out their dead relative's house

899
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:49.960
and they're like, oh wow,
like we knew he was weird, but

900
01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:59.320
holy crap, look at this.
Well anyway, that is that is super

901
01:07:59.320 --> 01:08:02.000
creepy, but not creepy as this. You're ready, did you see that?

902
01:08:02.400 --> 01:08:13.280
Scientists we're able to create a fourteen
day old embryo using stem cells.

903
01:08:15.720 --> 01:08:21.960
I'm gonna repeat this. They created
a fourteen day old embryo using stem cells.

904
01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:30.000
Obviously, you know the embryo first
few weeks sperm fertilizes the egg.

905
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:36.159
Periods of dramatic change boom. So
this is post that. But they built

906
01:08:36.199 --> 01:08:44.960
it. They didn't even peachree dishes. They built the damn thing. Let's

907
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:47.560
see here, this is great.
Now we can just all cut our genitals

908
01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:54.239
off. Well, I feel like
maybe we should run a few of these

909
01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:57.840
through the old you know, the
old easy baked you know what I'm say.

910
01:08:59.279 --> 01:09:03.720
Right, It makes it a little
unnerved a little bit, you know,

911
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:06.720
because there's a whole lot of women
that you see on social media who

912
01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:11.399
are like, there's literally the last
thing we need you for. And I

913
01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:15.039
think they mean it, Yeah,
turn into wicker Man. But apparently we

914
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:19.840
don't need them either. Well,
no, I understand that. But ultimately,

915
01:09:19.880 --> 01:09:30.479
the guys have certain needs. I
understand this. I think they'll probably

916
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:33.039
be a little a little more hesitant
to swear it off. I'm trying to

917
01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:35.760
figure out what what are they even
gonna do with this? Like, at

918
01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:42.359
some point you just have to go
grease that. Do the cells continue to

919
01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:46.800
divide that you're gonna have AI versus
like Adam Warlock from Guardians at some point

920
01:09:46.840 --> 01:09:51.600
battling in the future. I do
not like this at all. I need

921
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:55.800
to take away all the science funding. Yep, I'm going there, man,

922
01:09:57.920 --> 01:10:00.159
it's so creepy. All right,
hey, he Calendar joins us.

923
01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:04.279
And speaking of creepy, we got
all sorts of stuff to get into our

924
01:10:04.359 --> 01:10:11.319
the big city mayors given up on
public security. We'll talk about it next.

925
01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:43.359
All right, Good morning everybody,
and here we go Friday, third

926
01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:49.920
hour. All ready, Cacio Day
Radio program eight oh seven, and uh,

927
01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:55.960
we got lots to get into with
our usual guests Radio Buddy in South

928
01:10:56.079 --> 01:11:00.720
mid Day's w b T and on
the iHeart radio app. So check out

929
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:03.600
Pete Calendar. What's up Pete today? I'm doing all right. I'm,

930
01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:08.800
you know, just chilling out here
in my luxurious air conditioning that we believe

931
01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:14.199
in down in Charlotte. I don't
know what's going on with you guys up

932
01:11:14.239 --> 01:11:17.199
in Wait County there with your schools. Just heard them on the news another

933
01:11:17.279 --> 01:11:23.319
school now doesn't have air conditioning up
there. Well, you know the COVID

934
01:11:23.359 --> 01:11:26.920
money, they needed it for some
other stuff. So yeah, well I

935
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.680
had an idea, because you know
me, I'm all about solutions. So

936
01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:32.359
how about this, because I heard
in that news report that they did not

937
01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:38.600
have that. The schools were saying
there's enough, not enough, HVAC technicians,

938
01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:42.760
and so that's why they can't get
the work done. I'm thinking maybe

939
01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:47.199
we create some sort of system where
we could, i don't know, like

940
01:11:47.359 --> 01:11:53.560
train and educate like another generation,
like the coming up generation of the kids

941
01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:58.079
today. They would then be in
a position to take the jobs in these

942
01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:02.319
various trades that obviously have been left
unfulfilled. So that would be like a

943
01:12:02.439 --> 01:12:09.960
women's studies course or yeah, well
maybe a little bit more. Yeah all

944
01:12:10.079 --> 01:12:13.199
right, yeah, but like a
whole system we could like levy taxes and

945
01:12:13.279 --> 01:12:17.960
stuff, fire people to teach the
skills necessary that kind of thing. Okay,

946
01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:21.680
well, I mean yeah, create
a pipeline. That's pretty crazy,

947
01:12:21.800 --> 01:12:27.239
I guess if you asked me.
I mean there's a lot of philosophers we

948
01:12:27.279 --> 01:12:31.520
need right now, and gender studies
majors, yeah, d E D E

949
01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:35.159
I administrators. Yeah. Well look, if you can get a good gig,

950
01:12:35.199 --> 01:12:39.760
that's quite lucrative. Yeah, I'm
sure what we pay for these things.

951
01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:43.640
I'll tell you another thing that would
be good. Because now I'm being

952
01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:46.960
told this is the main issue.
I feel like we're in a competition.

953
01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:51.279
Pete. You guys have the you
got you know, you got all the

954
01:12:51.520 --> 01:12:55.840
phantom pooper stuff going on down there. I don't know if you I don't

955
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:59.359
know if you've heard. We've had
some issues in uh, in Raleigh,

956
01:12:59.439 --> 01:13:01.840
not just RALI, Greensboro's had some
mission but basically the big cities in North

957
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:11.159
Carolina where it kind of feels like
maybe those who are in charge aren't really

958
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:15.800
interested in the law enforcement aspect of
what they're doing. And so like the

959
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:20.000
entertainment district and Raleigh, we had
one of the employees there who was literally

960
01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:26.399
beaten to death. Yeah, that
was right, Midwood smoke House, right,

961
01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:30.520
they come out of Charlotte. Actually, yeah, And there has been

962
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:33.479
a whole host of issues. It's
yes, like if you look. And

963
01:13:33.560 --> 01:13:40.680
so the city's solution, as I
understand it is, rather than to invest

964
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:43.279
more in law enforcement, which I
understand it is a bit of an uphill

965
01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:47.000
struggle because some people are not thinking
that they want to go into law enforcement.

966
01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:51.640
I can't imagine why. Rather than
beefing those numbers up, because those

967
01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:57.920
individuals are armed, they have arrested
powers they're gonna go with, they want

968
01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:02.680
to do private unarmed security. Oh, to deal with what is a problem

969
01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:08.800
of armed individuals and uh, you
know, various crimes and stuff, And

970
01:14:08.920 --> 01:14:15.000
I'm I'm not understanding this because I
feel like that doesn't address the problem which

971
01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:17.920
is obviously a rising problem, not
just in Raleigh, but in many,

972
01:14:17.960 --> 01:14:21.960
many, many large cities that we've
seen over the last couple of years,

973
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:28.600
Charlotte included. And I just feel
like they have no fervor to fix anything.

974
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:32.079
Do you get that feeling down in
Charlotte as well? Well? I

975
01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:39.239
mean this idea of unarmed private security, I mean, I kind of it's

976
01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:42.760
not without precedent, right, I
mean, look at how secure our malls

977
01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:46.359
are, for example, and those
individuals are generally considered, you know,

978
01:14:46.439 --> 01:14:51.479
sort of the apex of law enforcement, right, so why not adopt that

979
01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:58.239
kind of that pinnacle model in the
city writ large. I'm also thinking there

980
01:14:58.319 --> 01:15:04.119
might be an opportunity for some violence
interruption, maybe some ambassadors, you know,

981
01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:09.199
those types of folks like the COVID
ambassador already have those they actually have

982
01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:13.119
Roley's got a downtown ambassador thing,
and and they're fun. I would thief

983
01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:15.159
with them. They actually serve a
certain purpose down there, and they've been

984
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.520
around for a while, and you
know, but but they're not there.

985
01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:21.960
They're not for for the law enforcement
thing. Do you know that that's the

986
01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:26.600
that's the niche here. So like
if somebody, let's say, somebody's I

987
01:15:26.600 --> 01:15:30.880
don't know, beating somebody else to
death, just use that hypothetical. Sure,

988
01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:33.960
and you know it and it's you
know, it's one in the morning

989
01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:39.199
and the bars are spilling out and
it's just crazy town. It would be

990
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:45.000
good to have somebody with arrest powers
and perhaps some tools with which to arrest

991
01:15:45.079 --> 01:15:48.880
those individuals. Right. But that's
just me looking for someone. But why

992
01:15:49.199 --> 01:15:57.079
why go through the hassle and the
trauma inflicting this generational PTSD on a person

993
01:15:57.199 --> 01:16:01.000
and all of their ken uh and
arresting them, right, Because there's not

994
01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:05.000
much that's going to happen once they
are arrested, right, So what's the

995
01:16:05.039 --> 01:16:10.319
point of arresting like this is?
It really is a brilliant strategy if you

996
01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:12.520
think about it. It was like, hey, defund the police, and

997
01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:15.319
then everybody's like whoa, whoa,
you're crazy. And then they kind of

998
01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:17.760
looked around and like read the room
and they said, Okay, this isn't

999
01:16:17.760 --> 01:16:21.239
working. We're getting you know,
waxed in some elections. So how's about

1000
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:28.079
we don't talk about defunding the police. Anymore, we'll just say reforms and

1001
01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:30.039
blah blah blah and all of that, and then on the back end,

1002
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:35.039
we just won't prosecute people. We'll
drop all the gun charges and then cry

1003
01:16:35.079 --> 01:16:39.159
about gun deaths. Right, we'll
do what we'll do on the back end

1004
01:16:39.199 --> 01:16:42.239
what we would like to look on
the front at the local level, but

1005
01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:45.039
at the federal level will really drill
it to people. So don't worry about

1006
01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:49.039
that. Well, only certain people. Yeah, So the sentences there,

1007
01:16:49.279 --> 01:16:53.439
and literally on the day like raleighs
Mirror is putting this out, somebody just

1008
01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:58.079
reminded me of this, Like literally
the day were they've been trying to figure

1009
01:16:58.119 --> 01:17:01.920
out a solution of this problem is
the day that like somebody was literally stabbed

1010
01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:08.319
right as the announcement is going on, and it's like, I feel like

1011
01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:11.159
we need to do more, and
that looks right. Well, it's a

1012
01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:15.520
problem and solution so obvious that only
the left can ignore it. Only the

1013
01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:19.079
leftist don't see it. And because
it flies in the face or it's part

1014
01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:21.560
it flies in the face of a
narrative, or it's part of actually there

1015
01:17:23.199 --> 01:17:26.840
the strategy, which is by the
way, always been a hallmark of leftist

1016
01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:31.680
strategy is to encourage disorder on the
streets in order to make the population be

1017
01:17:31.760 --> 01:17:38.000
willing to sacrifice liberties in order to
gain some modicum of security. And so

1018
01:17:38.239 --> 01:17:42.960
when you allow for the destruction of
the security of society, then it opens

1019
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:46.159
the door for liberties to be taken. So if there's an intentional strategy,

1020
01:17:46.279 --> 01:17:51.840
that's it. Otherwise I suspect it's
just a whole bunch of dumbasses. Yeah,

1021
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:57.000
now I'm gonna go with coordinated the
first thing you said there, But

1022
01:17:57.520 --> 01:18:01.359
like, I feel like I just
use another hypothetical. Let's say that you

1023
01:18:01.439 --> 01:18:06.720
are a very involved advocate of the
defund the police to the point where you're

1024
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:14.640
out there maybe getting maybe getting a
cushy position as a high ranking state official

1025
01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:18.720
within a certain political party. And
and let's say you're out in your driveway

1026
01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:24.680
in the city where you've advocated for
this, and you get beaten half to

1027
01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:28.520
death, your leg broken and pummeled
so that your car could be jacked with

1028
01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:31.800
your kids right there. Do you
feel like at that moment you go,

1029
01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:39.680
maybe we should rethink this would make
okay, because that literally just did happen

1030
01:18:39.760 --> 01:18:43.279
up in Minneapolis, in a neighborhood
where I wouldn't think it would happen,

1031
01:18:43.399 --> 01:18:46.840
having lived up there and having some
knowledge of it, and she is,

1032
01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:51.000
she's all in on her thing,
and she's like what the second DFL they

1033
01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:57.920
called the Democrats DFL up there,
DFL party chair. So she like,

1034
01:18:58.239 --> 01:19:01.079
she's all in on this and she
damn near beaten to death over her vehicle

1035
01:19:01.199 --> 01:19:05.000
and her kids. Possibly something could
have happened to him who she was trying

1036
01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:09.520
to protect at the time, and
she's like, well, maybe we should

1037
01:19:09.560 --> 01:19:15.239
reconsider this. Well she does.
She does want the juveniles, uh,

1038
01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:19.600
and young people to be held accountable. I thought that was interesting. So

1039
01:19:19.640 --> 01:19:24.119
you know, maybe baby steps here, maybe you know, just you know,

1040
01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:27.439
coming around just a little bit.
She's gonna start with because she got

1041
01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:31.359
attacked by some youths, right,
Uh, maybe maybe this is sort of

1042
01:19:31.359 --> 01:19:35.920
the first step on the road to
recovery here where she realizes, oh,

1043
01:19:35.920 --> 01:19:41.880
maybe there needs to be some more
quote accountability for these youths, these juveniles

1044
01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:45.880
and young gils that did it.
Yes, it reminds me there was a

1045
01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:48.399
judge in New York back in like
the seventies or eighties, right when it

1046
01:19:48.479 --> 01:19:51.720
was you know, just this cess
pool of crime and violence and stuff,

1047
01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:55.800
and there was they called him turn
him loose. Bruce was his name,

1048
01:19:55.920 --> 01:20:00.760
and as the name mightn't you know, might imply he would let everybody go.

1049
01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:03.760
And so he got mugged and he
comes bay, going to the hospital

1050
01:20:03.800 --> 01:20:08.479
and stuff. He finally goes back
onto the bench after some hiatus. He's

1051
01:20:08.479 --> 01:20:11.439
back on the bench. The media
is there to cover his return, and

1052
01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:15.399
he starts off by saying, if
anybody thinks that I'm going to now change

1053
01:20:15.399 --> 01:20:17.640
the way I sentenced people in my
courtroom, you got another thing coming.

1054
01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:20.840
You know. I'm not changing the
way that I meet out justice here,

1055
01:20:20.960 --> 01:20:26.600
very very leniently. And somebody in
the back of the courtroom yells out mug

1056
01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:31.079
him again. And I get the
sense that this is what it's going to

1057
01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:39.399
take for people to kind of come
around to this, or the electorate to

1058
01:20:39.479 --> 01:20:42.960
finally say they've had enough and start
putting in place, you know, some

1059
01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:46.039
you know, tough on crime mayors
and DA's again. I don't know,

1060
01:20:46.119 --> 01:20:49.520
maybe it's just a cycle that we
are doomed to repeat over and over again.

1061
01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:53.960
Well we'll find out. I want
to flip to something else because I

1062
01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:57.279
want you to help me solve the
mystery. I'm good at those. No,

1063
01:20:57.399 --> 01:21:00.640
I'm good. I'm good at those. Get a little unsold streets music

1064
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:05.239
going on there, all right?
So back hold on, I want to

1065
01:21:05.279 --> 01:21:08.640
kill that. I don't know if
it's going to dip on the since you're

1066
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:12.920
on the phone. All right.
So I was reading this article yesterday about

1067
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:19.079
the top education officials are asking North
Carolina state lawmakers to postpone the January first

1068
01:21:19.079 --> 01:21:25.439
compliance deadline for the new Parents' Bill
of Rights, okay, saying they need

1069
01:21:25.439 --> 01:21:28.239
more time to comply. They got
to put systems and they're gonna see.

1070
01:21:28.840 --> 01:21:33.560
So here's my mystery. If none
of this stuff that this bill is addressing

1071
01:21:33.760 --> 01:21:38.279
was happening, and it's just you
know, it's it's it's a solution in

1072
01:21:38.279 --> 01:21:41.760
search of a problem. Right,
none of this is going on. If

1073
01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:45.640
none of this is going on,
and it's all made up in conservative lawmakers

1074
01:21:45.680 --> 01:21:50.760
minds and parents, then why would
you need more time to comply with it?

1075
01:21:51.079 --> 01:21:56.239
Right? If? Because you are
compliance? Right, I mean you're

1076
01:21:56.239 --> 01:22:00.760
in compliance, you're golden. You
you could start this today, right,

1077
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:04.640
unless, of course, there this
is all about like posting of the curriculum

1078
01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:09.279
on the website. Maybe that's what
they need, like an extra six months

1079
01:22:09.399 --> 01:22:12.720
or a year to do to learn
how to use their websites which they already

1080
01:22:13.079 --> 01:22:15.239
use and post things too. That
could be it. I don't know.

1081
01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:23.560
And look, Charlotte Mecklenberg actually adopted
their stuff what two weeks ago, Charlotte,

1082
01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:27.239
So if CMS can do this,
and far be it for me to

1083
01:22:27.279 --> 01:22:30.479
suggest that CMS does a lot of
things correctly. But they were the first

1084
01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:34.199
in the state to do it,
and they essentially just lifted all of the

1085
01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:40.000
language right out of the state law
and they just implemented and they put it

1086
01:22:40.039 --> 01:22:42.760
into policy. They are like,
this is what we have to have as

1087
01:22:42.800 --> 01:22:45.520
our policy. This is what we're
going to adopt, so we do it.

1088
01:22:45.560 --> 01:22:47.800
Meanwhile, like out in Asheville,
I saw that that school board,

1089
01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:51.199
the city school board and actual is
saying and they got people in there being

1090
01:22:51.239 --> 01:22:54.880
like, well, you know,
we should really even comply with this stuff,

1091
01:22:55.399 --> 01:23:00.399
Like oh okay, So once again
you know rule of law typeality,

1092
01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:03.399
where the laws are are good to
enforce against my political opponents, but not

1093
01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:06.560
for me to live by. It's
just it's yeah, it's it's the lack

1094
01:23:06.600 --> 01:23:11.840
of a consistent standard applied. Yeah. And and if if people were making

1095
01:23:11.880 --> 01:23:16.279
that nuanced argument, which I realize
you were slightly tongue in cheeked there,

1096
01:23:16.920 --> 01:23:20.560
but where where it was just well, we just have to develop this system

1097
01:23:20.720 --> 01:23:25.399
for uploading this stuff which we already
upload. They're not even making that argument.

1098
01:23:25.399 --> 01:23:28.239
They're going, well, now these
schools have to comb through everything that

1099
01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:30.640
they have to make sure that what
we're going to go to jail. And

1100
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:32.800
I'm like, well, hold on, you assured me that none of this

1101
01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:38.880
stuff existed, right, I was
assured. So I'm on Twitter yesterday banging

1102
01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:42.239
my head into the wall going,
you know, which is it? Right?

1103
01:23:42.279 --> 01:23:45.439
And and the gs and the gowner's
beef and over Disney carriage things,

1104
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:49.600
right, yeah, right, it's
beat, it's beef or it's it's both,

1105
01:23:50.319 --> 01:23:54.640
it's both. Like, that's the
it's the thing that we're not doing.

1106
01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:58.359
But now that we have to comply
with the law, we have to

1107
01:23:58.439 --> 01:24:00.239
ensure that we haven't actually been doing
the thing that we haven't been doing.

1108
01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:03.319
I don't understand why this is so
difficult to understand. Casey like, they

1109
01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:08.159
were not doing it, and so
now they're going to continue not doing it.

1110
01:24:08.199 --> 01:24:11.479
But they just want to make sure
that they continue not doing the thing

1111
01:24:11.560 --> 01:24:14.800
that they were prohibited from doing.
Which they why we didn't need to law

1112
01:24:14.840 --> 01:24:16.760
in the first place. I just
you know, it's a short week,

1113
01:24:17.399 --> 01:24:23.760
short week, you know, my
brains. Yeah yeah, okay, all

1114
01:24:23.840 --> 01:24:27.479
right, well I just again,
I just tried to let's try to clarify

1115
01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:30.520
these things. And it's great when
you know there's an opportunity for us to

1116
01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:33.319
talk and really kind of bounce these
things around. That's right what I'm saying

1117
01:24:33.319 --> 01:24:39.239
there, So because I get really
confused sometimes, Yeah, you're not happening,

1118
01:24:39.239 --> 01:24:42.479
but they apparently are happening, so
right. Well, and also this

1119
01:24:42.640 --> 01:24:45.800
idea that you know, this goes
to the whole book banning argument. And

1120
01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:48.239
I saw that, like there was
this hysterical piece written by the Ashville Watchdog

1121
01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:53.680
group about the Moms for Liberty chapter
getting set up in Bunkham County, which

1122
01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:57.560
is where Asheville is, and you
know, it's this four page hit piece

1123
01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:00.880
on Moms for Liberty, this ultra
conserve group that's like, you know,

1124
01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:04.479
trying to ban all of the books. But look, librarians curate their collections

1125
01:25:04.840 --> 01:25:11.279
the libraries. Any library you go
into does not have a copy of every

1126
01:25:11.319 --> 01:25:15.399
single book ever published. That would
be insane. The libraries would be massive,

1127
01:25:15.479 --> 01:25:18.399
right, they don't have every book, so they have to make decisions

1128
01:25:18.840 --> 01:25:23.800
based on what books they would like
to stock on the shelves and which ones

1129
01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:28.960
they think their clientele, their customers
are interested in reading. So the idea

1130
01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:34.439
that there should be some discernment in
the curation process based on who the audience

1131
01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:36.840
is, right, This idea that
oh, this is a book band,

1132
01:25:38.319 --> 01:25:44.239
it's laughably absurd on its face for
starters. Secondly, you have you have

1133
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:48.600
these rating systems that exist in all
sorts of entertainment. Why, it's in

1134
01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:53.920
order to help parents parents, so
they have an understanding. Because every parent

1135
01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:58.319
cannot read every single book before their
kid does, they cannot watch every movie

1136
01:25:58.359 --> 01:26:00.720
before their kid does, play every
video game. Right, so the industries

1137
01:26:00.800 --> 01:26:06.039
create and sometimes government creates these these
rating systems. Right. And when this

1138
01:26:06.159 --> 01:26:11.359
idea was pitched to education folks,
oh no, we can't do that,

1139
01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:15.079
Well, then you know what,
Then we're going to get engaged in the

1140
01:26:15.119 --> 01:26:17.680
civic discourse. We are going to
run full office, We are going to

1141
01:26:17.720 --> 01:26:23.800
take over some of these seats,
and we will impose the curation process ourselves.

1142
01:26:23.920 --> 01:26:28.680
And this now is a threat to
democracy. According to these left wing

1143
01:26:28.720 --> 01:26:32.199
reporters, that all of a sudden
parents taking an interest in the public school

1144
01:26:32.279 --> 01:26:36.359
system. This is then it kills
me. The conservatives have a right to

1145
01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:41.640
engage in setting the curricula too.
It's not just you guys on the left.

1146
01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:45.000
You don't get to control all of
these levers. The Moms for Liberty

1147
01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:50.439
Group and other parental rights organizations,
they were prompted to respond because you guys

1148
01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:55.560
lost your minds on this stuff.
That's why. That's why this bill got

1149
01:26:55.560 --> 01:26:58.840
passed, and others like it all
around the country getting passed. And again,

1150
01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:01.159
if you hadn't been put sing,
then you wouldn't have gotten the push

1151
01:27:01.239 --> 01:27:04.479
back. Well, no, this
is I got less than a minute.

1152
01:27:04.520 --> 01:27:10.000
This is the same thing with Leandro
right where it's like where there is only

1153
01:27:10.359 --> 01:27:15.439
a singular, acceptable definition of what
is an adequate education and it's only public

1154
01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:18.199
schools and it's only funded to the
hilt and it's only this and it's only

1155
01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:23.680
and it's like, have you considered
that there may be other versions of that?

1156
01:27:24.119 --> 01:27:26.960
And yeah, it's another another discussion. All right, real quick,

1157
01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:30.680
thirty seconds you're going to go out
to the Cherokee resid and get high or

1158
01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:33.560
you ready for that or uh,
well, I mean it's all the way.

1159
01:27:33.600 --> 01:27:38.520
It's like I've moved two and a
half hours east. Now, back

1160
01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:42.640
when I was out in Asheville,
that might have been something to do.

1161
01:27:42.720 --> 01:27:46.760
Although I maybe I just wait for
some of the casinos to get opened around

1162
01:27:46.760 --> 01:28:03.960
the state and then maybe they could
get recreational marijuana. One oh six one

1163
01:28:04.039 --> 01:28:10.319
f M Talked and nine four five
w PTI, two stations driving the best

1164
01:28:10.359 --> 01:28:17.199
in talk. This is Casey O
Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right,

1165
01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:20.279
well we're gonna have to Friday,
so we're gonna have to take this

1166
01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:27.720
thing apart. Ross I just stumbled
across the twenty twenty three ranking of the

1167
01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:32.880
best cities for surviving the zombie apocalypse. Now you were saying off the air,

1168
01:28:34.039 --> 01:28:36.319
you don't want to be in the
city, right, Oh, there's

1169
01:28:36.359 --> 01:28:42.000
no way, all right, So
with that, like understandably, yes,

1170
01:28:42.079 --> 01:28:45.359
there's spots in Wyoming I would that
would be where I'd go. Just did

1171
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:49.119
a density of population, terrain all
of it. However, for the purpose

1172
01:28:49.159 --> 01:28:53.960
of this list, they ranked the
two hundred largest cities in the US.

1173
01:28:54.119 --> 01:28:58.159
You're gonna have to be in one
of them, all right, And the

1174
01:28:58.199 --> 01:29:01.239
whole thing is stupid. Now,
maybe number one I could get with if

1175
01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:05.640
you think this out. Number one's
Houston, Texas. It's a big footprint

1176
01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:10.319
of a city, a lot of
spaced out stuff, a lot of guns.

1177
01:29:10.479 --> 01:29:13.039
You know what I'm saying. That
kind of makes sense, kind of

1178
01:29:13.039 --> 01:29:18.039
makes sense. But number two's New
York City. No, that's completely wrong.

1179
01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:26.720
It's list already minimal guns, thousands
of zombie hiding points, zero line

1180
01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:30.000
of sight, right, all the
things working against you. You don't want

1181
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:39.880
Number three, San Antonio, Miami, four La number five. I'm not

1182
01:29:39.880 --> 01:29:43.079
gonna hit all of these, but
just the ones that stand out, like

1183
01:29:43.840 --> 01:29:48.359
Las Vegas, lots of guns.
Maybe, I don't know, Portland number

1184
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:58.399
eleven. I mean yeah, if
you dress them up, like, you

1185
01:29:58.439 --> 01:30:00.840
know, one of the two groups
that like to fight, I guess then

1186
01:30:00.880 --> 01:30:03.520
you get the other one attacking them
while you get away. I don't know.

1187
01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:09.279
Seattle's number fourteen, Honolulu's fifty.
You're on an island, man,

1188
01:30:11.880 --> 01:30:18.399
but you're limited where you can run. San Francisco's twenty one. How would

1189
01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:23.760
you know the apocalypse started? Yeah, there's no way you'd be like,

1190
01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:26.399
are you a zombie? I have
no idea. I guess, well,

1191
01:30:26.520 --> 01:30:30.560
zombies don't poop on the sidewalk right, So like that again, well,

1192
01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:33.800
I guess it would determine. It
would depend upon the rules of the zombie

1193
01:30:33.880 --> 01:30:36.680
universe we're talking about, because they
vary from universe to the universe. I

1194
01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:41.439
understand we're gonna go with. Yeah, we'll go with kind of Walking Dead.

1195
01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:44.239
Let's go. You know, I
think that that's a good standard in

1196
01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:48.119
middle It's not quite World War Z
right speed give an example like Walking Dead

1197
01:30:48.199 --> 01:30:53.680
the later years, right, these
zombies started to decay and to fall apart

1198
01:30:53.720 --> 01:30:56.760
in the heat, right, So
maybe you'd want to choose a desert type

1199
01:30:56.800 --> 01:31:00.760
area if we're going with those rules. Yeah, so Vegas is highly ranked.

1200
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:03.680
I get yeah, sure, well
then it is a dry heat.

1201
01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:06.840
I'm not sure the rules. And
I watched a movie where they were trying

1202
01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:11.399
to get into a zombie during a
zombie apocalypse to Rob's Safe, and it

1203
01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:15.159
looked really difficult. So something on
Netflix I saw them. Let's see here,

1204
01:31:15.199 --> 01:31:20.600
Minneapolis, you got no no enforcement
there. Let me let me look

1205
01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:25.079
in North Carolina and see how the
city is fair. What what city in

1206
01:31:25.159 --> 01:31:27.119
North Carolina? You gotta go with? One of the big ones? Would

1207
01:31:27.159 --> 01:31:30.399
you think would be the best?
Where I put it out there, I

1208
01:31:30.439 --> 01:31:34.720
mean I'm going, I'm going hometown. I'm going Raleigh, going, Okay,

1209
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:38.840
just because I'm loyally, it's nothing
else behind it. It's just because

1210
01:31:38.840 --> 01:31:42.520
you don't want to leave your house, is correct. But there's a zombie

1211
01:31:42.520 --> 01:31:45.920
apocalypse. But I like my I
don't like leave my house. Right,

1212
01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:48.800
but you, but you may have
to make tough decisions, right if you

1213
01:31:49.039 --> 01:31:51.399
overwhelmed me, then then I will
make them, damn it, and I

1214
01:31:51.439 --> 01:32:00.239
will leave my house and go to
Raleigh. That's not really getting away from

1215
01:31:59.840 --> 01:32:02.039
it, like they're gonna catch up. Well, so let's see what do

1216
01:32:02.119 --> 01:32:06.079
they say? It is the best
city banks stored by state here Charlotte at

1217
01:32:06.159 --> 01:32:12.079
fifty, so out of two hundred, the best city in North Carolina still

1218
01:32:12.199 --> 01:32:16.479
is a bad option. And it's
Charlotte, followed by Raleigh, then Durham,

1219
01:32:16.600 --> 01:32:21.119
Greensboro, Fayetteville, and then Winston
Salem. Fayville is one hundred,

1220
01:32:21.119 --> 01:32:26.000
twenty ninth. It's it's like sold
it's a bunch of soldier. It's soldiers

1221
01:32:26.119 --> 01:32:30.039
and gang bangers. This is so
stupid, Like I would take the vets

1222
01:32:30.159 --> 01:32:32.520
or whatever, the soldiers in Fayetteville
over some idiot in a bodega, New

1223
01:32:32.600 --> 01:32:36.680
York city any day. Come on, dude, stupid. Yeah, you're

1224
01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:42.119
gonna you're gonna beat the zombies,
a devil to your cat and criminals,

1225
01:32:42.119 --> 01:32:46.039
like, dude's high crime. Man. Everybody's arm down there. Oh this

1226
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:53.199
thing is so dumb. Uh.
Yeah, Raleigh's sixty eight, Greensboro one

1227
01:32:53.239 --> 01:33:00.000
hundred and twenty one. I feel
like Greensboro would be better suited than Raleigh.

1228
01:33:00.119 --> 01:33:01.800
Oh no, it would if you're
looking at it that way, just

1229
01:33:01.840 --> 01:33:08.399
because of the terrain and the surroundings. Yeah, so what do they I'm

1230
01:33:08.439 --> 01:33:12.039
not even go there's a whole bunch
of data points that they used to arrive

1231
01:33:12.079 --> 01:33:15.199
at this. Yeah. I don't
know. I don't agree with anything.

1232
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:19.199
I feel like people here have no
concept of actual survival. The people putting

1233
01:33:19.199 --> 01:33:25.359
this list together, Like in even
the most minimal survival situations, like I

1234
01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:30.720
used to be constantly baffled by We'd
have hunters come out, right, We'd

1235
01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:33.600
have hunters come out and I would
say stuff to them. I'd be like,

1236
01:33:33.680 --> 01:33:36.279
all right, so I'd drop them
off and I'd be like, all

1237
01:33:36.359 --> 01:33:41.199
right, So what you want to
do is, you know, start here,

1238
01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:45.079
but after light if you don't see
anything and you want to make a

1239
01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:50.039
move, you want to go east
about you know, a half mile and

1240
01:33:50.199 --> 01:33:54.560
there's a set of trees, and
they'd be like, which ways east?

1241
01:33:54.640 --> 01:33:57.640
And I'm like, how do you
not know? I'm dropping you off in

1242
01:33:57.680 --> 01:34:00.560
the woods man? How do you
not know north southeast west? Especially when

1243
01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:04.840
you have a mountain range that you
know runs north to south and you have

1244
01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:11.960
the sun. And I feel like
you're dealing kind of with that here where

1245
01:34:12.119 --> 01:34:15.079
everyone who was in charge of this
list would be horrible. They would be

1246
01:34:15.119 --> 01:34:18.880
only good as zombie bait if they
were in your survival group, you know

1247
01:34:18.880 --> 01:34:21.000
what I'm saying, where you just
kind of be like, hey, Bob,

1248
01:34:21.000 --> 01:34:25.039
remember that list you put together,
and then you push Bob down and

1249
01:34:25.079 --> 01:34:29.439
then the rest of you get away, and that is the only net benefit

1250
01:34:29.560 --> 01:34:33.279
from these idiots. I think the
safest city would actually be my hometown is

1251
01:34:33.319 --> 01:34:35.920
connected in New York. I think
that would probably be the safest because the

1252
01:34:36.000 --> 01:34:41.079
zombies would be like, Nope,
we ain't going there, Like absolute poverty

1253
01:34:41.079 --> 01:34:45.680
can't do it. So they got
standards that you say, it's not on

1254
01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:48.039
the list because it's not one of
the tuner biggest cities. So I don't

1255
01:34:48.039 --> 01:34:51.520
know where it ranked, but to
your point are, well, no,

1256
01:34:51.720 --> 01:34:55.119
because you know, one of the
worst cities on the list, Detroit.

1257
01:34:55.600 --> 01:35:00.000
I think it's like next to last. So I like, if the zombie

1258
01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:04.560
they're gonna have, you know,
they're gonna get picky. It sounds like

1259
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:10.399
they would overrun Detroit. No problem
solves connectady, here's Buffalo, New York.

1260
01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:14.439
Hold on just throwing zombies through tables, That's what I'm like, Yeah,

1261
01:35:14.479 --> 01:35:18.000
you just turn you if the zombies
decide to outbreak during a tailgate,

1262
01:35:18.319 --> 01:35:23.840
they do, they stand at I
don't think they stand a chance. Yeah,

1263
01:35:23.880 --> 01:35:26.920
but whoever put in New York City
as number two, get out of

1264
01:35:27.000 --> 01:35:31.520
here. They're wrong with you people. So I'm just scanning some other stuff.

1265
01:35:31.520 --> 01:35:34.119
Most of the Texas cities are ranked
pretty high, which makes sense,

1266
01:35:34.199 --> 01:35:38.199
like there's actual data there where I
could go, Okay, all right,

1267
01:35:39.640 --> 01:35:45.920
armed to the teeth, although maybe
not Austin, which is ranked six craziness

1268
01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:50.840
all right eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. It's Washington,

1269
01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:56.880
DC doing They're all getting eat and
good. Although if they eat brains

1270
01:35:56.880 --> 01:36:02.600
though, right, So I'm just
say it wouldn't be I can't believe you

1271
01:36:02.640 --> 01:36:05.960
would. I can't believe you would. You would use this to attack Mitch

1272
01:36:06.039 --> 01:36:10.359
McConnell like this. It's gross.
Really, you think it's just him or

1273
01:36:10.479 --> 01:36:14.479
not the totality of everyone up there, all right? Eight forty three Ken

1274
01:36:14.479 --> 01:36:16.920
Boon from the Weather Channel. Do
you think you'd survive a zombie apocalypse?

1275
01:36:18.680 --> 01:36:23.760
Me? Probably not for a little
while at least, Matt maybe. I

1276
01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:26.840
mean, there's a lot of really
dumb people, which can you just push

1277
01:36:26.880 --> 01:36:30.079
them down? Let the zombies and
then you get away, and you're sure

1278
01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:34.560
you surround yourself with enough idiots you're
gonna you're gonna do just fine. All

1279
01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:36.319
right, Well, we don't have
to deal with that right now. We

1280
01:36:36.399 --> 01:36:42.239
just gotta deal with heat and more
heat and maybe even a hurricane of sorts.

1281
01:36:42.279 --> 01:36:44.720
So give it to us. Head
it into the weekend, sir.

1282
01:36:45.279 --> 01:36:47.279
You bet well. It's gonna be
another hot day out there today. Maybe

1283
01:36:47.279 --> 01:36:50.079
not as hot as it was yesterday, but temperatures are still going to get

1284
01:36:50.159 --> 01:36:54.960
up into the nineties with some sunshine. Chance for a few late day showers

1285
01:36:54.960 --> 01:36:57.880
and storms, but I think a
much better chance to see those showers and

1286
01:36:58.000 --> 01:37:01.439
storms as we head into the week
about ninety three this afternoon, seventy one

1287
01:37:01.520 --> 01:37:08.039
tonight, showers and storms more likely
tomorrow and Sunday, especially through the afternoon

1288
01:37:08.039 --> 01:37:10.920
and evening hours. It won't be
as hot over the weekend, with high

1289
01:37:10.920 --> 01:37:13.720
temperatures into the middle to upper part
of the eighties. Now, dryer air

1290
01:37:13.800 --> 01:37:16.119
does build in for early next week. And of course we're watching Hurricane Lee

1291
01:37:16.279 --> 01:37:20.279
one hundred and sixty five mile per
hour Cat five storm now as it continues

1292
01:37:20.319 --> 01:37:25.479
to move west north west, looking
forward to make that turn towards the north

1293
01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:29.000
as we get into next week.
But we can still potentially have some indirect

1294
01:37:29.079 --> 01:37:33.520
impacts on the coastline with some dangerous
surf and some dangerous rip currents. All

1295
01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:38.319
right, thank you, sir.
You know you're with us Monday as well.

1296
01:37:38.399 --> 01:37:41.199
Right, No, I believe Jeff
will be with you, Jeff,

1297
01:37:41.199 --> 01:37:45.119
you know, Okay, but it's
not Ray So he's like preemptively thrown in

1298
01:37:45.159 --> 01:37:48.239
the towel on the Cowboys games.
That what's happen? Think? So dude's

1299
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:50.439
having a rough go of it,
all right, Ken, have a good

1300
01:37:50.439 --> 01:37:55.079
weekend, sir. All right you
two yep, and we're gonna come back

1301
01:37:55.119 --> 01:38:08.840
to chat with Jeff Bellinger, Decks, Hang on your day Smarter one oh

1302
01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:15.119
six one FM Talk and news Talk
ninety four five WPTI more with case starts

1303
01:38:15.239 --> 01:38:19.880
now. All right, good morning, it is eight fifty one. Your

1304
01:38:20.319 --> 01:38:26.159
Bloomberg update now, Jeff Falinger,
what's happening here on our Friday? Well,

1305
01:38:26.279 --> 01:38:29.279
good morning, KC, and happy
Friday. Stock send and mixed.

1306
01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:33.640
Yesterday, Apple shares fell another three
percent on worries over a potential ban on

1307
01:38:33.720 --> 01:38:39.600
iPhone use by government workers in China
that put pressure on all of the major

1308
01:38:39.640 --> 01:38:42.840
averages. Saw a small gain for
the Dow, but the NASDAC and S

1309
01:38:42.920 --> 01:38:46.399
and P both ended lower. Stock
market futures barely changed. Right now,

1310
01:38:46.479 --> 01:38:50.600
the S and P futures are upp
a fraction, and NASDAC and Dow futures

1311
01:38:50.600 --> 01:38:55.520
are both down three points. The
year's biggest movie is going to be a

1312
01:38:55.560 --> 01:39:00.399
big pay day for Mattel. Global
ticket sales for the blockbuster Barbie total nearly

1313
01:39:00.479 --> 01:39:05.520
one point four billion dollars so far. MATEL created Barbie and licensed the brand

1314
01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:10.920
to Warner Brothers Discovery, which made
the movie. The toymakers share of revenue

1315
01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:15.760
and profits will be around one hundred
twenty five million dollars. Worker retention among

1316
01:39:15.760 --> 01:39:18.840
the major challenges facing retailers. A
lot of employees say the job, with

1317
01:39:18.920 --> 01:39:24.239
its low pay, erratic schedules,
and monotonous tasks, just isn't worth it.

1318
01:39:24.520 --> 01:39:28.640
A McKinsey study found that the quit
rate for retail workers is more than

1319
01:39:28.720 --> 01:39:32.359
seventy percent higher than other industries.
Workers say the job has become tougher in

1320
01:39:32.399 --> 01:39:38.199
recent years. There's more shoplifting to
deal with, and customers are more confrontational.

1321
01:39:38.560 --> 01:39:42.319
General Motors didn't have long to wait
for a reply after it submitted a

1322
01:39:42.399 --> 01:39:47.279
counteroffer to the United Auto Workers.
GM offered sixteen percent raises for topway journeys

1323
01:39:47.439 --> 01:39:53.560
and fifty six percent pay hikes for
new employees who were unless. The UAW

1324
01:39:53.640 --> 01:39:58.840
quickly rejected that offers that it was
insulting. Worldwide, food prices resumed their

1325
01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:03.479
decline despite assistant worries about supplies of
some key staples. The Food Commodity Cost

1326
01:40:03.560 --> 01:40:09.560
Index from the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization fell a little more than two

1327
01:40:09.560 --> 01:40:14.600
percent last month, and the casey
the TikTok Shop, this is a marketplace

1328
01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:17.680
that the video app is banking on
for revenue growth, has gone live for

1329
01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:23.119
some users here in the US.
The shop option presents a continuous scroll of

1330
01:40:23.239 --> 01:40:28.600
random products that are recommended Bloomberg says
that so far it looks like a showcase

1331
01:40:28.680 --> 01:40:32.279
for cheap Chinese made product. No
case, no, I'm show come on,

1332
01:40:32.760 --> 01:40:38.000
say it ain't too all right,
just guaranteed lead with every purchase.

1333
01:40:38.119 --> 01:40:41.760
All right, well, thank you
sir, have a good weekend. You

1334
01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:44.439
do the same talk monday. Okay, sounds good. You have a good

1335
01:40:44.520 --> 01:40:46.680
day. Take care. Yeah,
wow, didn't see that. So TikTok

1336
01:40:46.760 --> 01:40:53.439
he's shilling Chinese crap. Okay,
all right, well there you go.

1337
01:40:54.199 --> 01:40:58.239
Uh, couple a couple quick things
we get out of here. This isn't

1338
01:40:58.239 --> 01:41:04.199
going to affect you. But I
do think that it is an interesting It's

1339
01:41:04.199 --> 01:41:12.600
it's interesting in how we and social
media and various other tech entities see the

1340
01:41:12.640 --> 01:41:18.000
future of uh, you know,
monitoring users. And in this case,

1341
01:41:18.079 --> 01:41:27.199
Activision is using AI now to scan
conversations on with players that are playing online

1342
01:41:27.880 --> 01:41:32.760
in group settings for toxicity. Well
one, it comes down to the definition

1343
01:41:32.840 --> 01:41:38.960
of toxicity. But two, like
I still don't trust the AIS not to

1344
01:41:39.079 --> 01:41:45.640
murder the drone human pilots, deny
the Holocaust, and like screw up and

1345
01:41:45.680 --> 01:41:48.600
make up fake legal cases. So
it's bad enough when you got a bunch

1346
01:41:48.600 --> 01:41:55.279
of blue hairs in a room doing
content moderation like we saw with Twitter and

1347
01:41:55.399 --> 01:41:59.800
Facebook. Now they're just going to
program AI, which is not full proof,

1348
01:41:59.800 --> 01:42:04.119
and have them do it. Are
we feeling comfortable with that? Ross?

1349
01:42:04.159 --> 01:42:08.199
You game but you don't really do
the online? Well here's what they

1350
01:42:08.279 --> 01:42:10.399
right, So they want to like, you know, cut down a quote

1351
01:42:10.399 --> 01:42:13.439
hate speech and these like I say, they call of duty lobbies or whatever

1352
01:42:13.439 --> 01:42:17.960
because it's activision. Well technology in
the use of technology evolves, it just

1353
01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:23.079
doesn't like it's not static, right, Yes, So eventually, if this

1354
01:42:23.159 --> 01:42:28.159
is successful, you can see like
maybe a company like Twitch or kick or

1355
01:42:28.159 --> 01:42:32.000
whoever, or even YouTube using it
to monitor people's live streams. I could

1356
01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:35.039
see that happening in the future.
I think it's terrifying. Tube. I

1357
01:42:35.039 --> 01:42:39.920
think you Tube must already do it, I think because through but they do

1358
01:42:39.960 --> 01:42:43.479
it through the transcripting service, right, So I don't know that that's AI

1359
01:42:43.640 --> 01:42:47.000
necessarily, it's it's it's speech recognition, which is why when like YouTubers won't

1360
01:42:47.000 --> 01:42:50.199
say certain words. You know this, Yeah, like there's a bunch of

1361
01:42:50.199 --> 01:42:56.680
words they won't say. They won't
say COVID, they won't say anything you

1362
01:42:56.680 --> 01:42:59.520
happen to do with like sexual assault
or child say, even if they're if

1363
01:42:59.560 --> 01:43:02.840
it's in a documentary style setting or
they're doing a news story, they'll say

1364
01:43:02.920 --> 01:43:10.000
CP or you know, they'll use
code because the captioning program they assume the

1365
01:43:10.039 --> 01:43:13.800
algorithm is pulling on that. So
I don't know that it's really that different.

1366
01:43:14.199 --> 01:43:17.479
And let's face it, a lobby
of a Call of Duty server,

1367
01:43:19.680 --> 01:43:23.960
there's some horrible people too. Yeah, I mean, I this one reason

1368
01:43:24.000 --> 01:43:27.520
I won't stream that game is because
I've been on friend streams before and they're

1369
01:43:27.520 --> 01:43:30.239
streaming and there's some kid you've never
met, Rando in a lobby, right,

1370
01:43:30.239 --> 01:43:33.079
and you forget to turn off the
other people's mics, and all of

1371
01:43:33.119 --> 01:43:36.199
a sudden, an end bomb is
dropped, right, and you have to

1372
01:43:36.279 --> 01:43:41.159
end your entire stream because you don't
want to get canceled because some idiot you

1373
01:43:41.199 --> 01:43:44.640
know said that on a live stream. But you know, it's it's sort

1374
01:43:44.640 --> 01:43:47.039
of like technology is like any It's
like a government program, right. Government

1375
01:43:47.079 --> 01:43:49.960
programs tend not to shrink and tend
not to go away. They get bigger

1376
01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:53.880
and more out of control. So
you can see them eventually using this on

1377
01:43:53.960 --> 01:43:58.279
live streams to monitor what you're saying, and like you said, it's Ai.

1378
01:43:58.840 --> 01:44:03.079
It's not going to know content exter
sarcasm or her her her Why can

1379
01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:08.199
I say the word her perboly?
Right, Yeah, they're just gonna be

1380
01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:10.439
like, you know, I,
oh, I heard this word, or

1381
01:44:10.439 --> 01:44:14.119
I heard this this joke, you
made this inappropriate jokes to now your stream,

1382
01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:16.279
it's gonna you know, we're gonna
cancel your stream. I could see

1383
01:44:16.279 --> 01:44:19.359
that happening. And well, like, these are not just people streaming.

1384
01:44:19.399 --> 01:44:23.640
These are people that are literally playing
a game that they paid for, right,

1385
01:44:24.039 --> 01:44:26.800
So I mean that are in there
doing this, and you're right if

1386
01:44:26.800 --> 01:44:30.000
it mishears it. What were we
doing the we're talking about something the other

1387
01:44:30.079 --> 01:44:32.720
day where it was oh, was
the air degon thing? Right? Like

1388
01:44:32.840 --> 01:44:38.479
did did he just did the translator? The translator accidentally said that the president

1389
01:44:38.560 --> 01:44:42.640
of Turkey was declaring war on Putin
while Putin was sitting there. Obviously it's

1390
01:44:42.680 --> 01:44:45.560
a mess up. Then we were
making jokes about you know, not hearing

1391
01:44:45.600 --> 01:44:53.039
stuff. But like, content moderation
already sucks within these because even humans,

1392
01:44:53.359 --> 01:44:56.840
for whatever reason, when I've challenged
some of the posts we have, don't

1393
01:44:56.880 --> 01:45:00.000
recognize sarcasm or jokes or any of
the rest. And now it's just going

1394
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:03.560
to be baked into the system,
and then eventually once you remove more and

1395
01:45:03.560 --> 01:45:06.239
more humans, like there's no way
to even get around it. It just

1396
01:45:06.399 --> 01:45:09.439
is what it is, and they'll
go, well, our hands are tied.

1397
01:45:09.520 --> 01:45:14.800
The AI sets. There are people
that really have a hard time recognizing

1398
01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:17.600
sarcasm, and a lot of these
people tend to be the younger generations.

1399
01:45:17.640 --> 01:45:23.199
I've noticed there seems to be a
huge percentage of say, you know,

1400
01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:26.600
comparing zoomers the boomers. The boomers
can recognize it a lot of the time.

1401
01:45:26.840 --> 01:45:30.640
Zoomers, for some reason cannot,
especially online. It seems like a

1402
01:45:30.640 --> 01:45:32.960
lot of times it's an impossibility.
By the way, if you got a

1403
01:45:33.039 --> 01:45:38.159
Ross's twitch thing, he's got humans
moderating stuff and they'll throw you out for

1404
01:45:38.199 --> 01:45:40.720
anything, like even if it's your
first name, you know what you did,

1405
01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:44.560
man, you need to apologize.
It's nothing you need to apologize to

1406
01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:48.880
say you're sorry. Don't deny the
big boon beer booon beer, and like

1407
01:45:49.079 --> 01:45:49.960
that, I'm ampled
