All right, good morning everybody, and welcome It's Friday. You know,
the thing that sucked about this four day work week is somehow it felt like
a five day work week. The next week we have a five day work
week. So how's that gonna feel? Oh man, the struggle is real,
real, real, real real. All Right, well, it is
Friday, so that means coming up eight oh five, we'll chit chat with
our radio buddy, Pete Calendar. Uh, they got some things going on
down there, uh, Queen City's Ways, so there, you know,
there's there's, there's that. Like I didn't know this because I've never done
New Year's in Charlotte, right, So depending on where you go, they
get you know, they drop stuff rally, well with a giant nut,
let's see where it was. I was in making Georgia one time is don't
ask, and I think there was a cherry they dropped. Charlotte has bodies,
So well we'll obviously touch on that, and we got more and enough
stuff because it's been a while since Pete Night Chat well on the air anyway,
So yeah, definitely gonna want to check that out. All right,
let me let me do this just just because some would argue, this isn't
a good look. All right, So we got more documents coming out.
I don't know if these are gonna leak every day or it leaks the wrong
word, but be released or unredacted or at least partially redacted every day.
But the drip, drip drip, because remember there's some documents that aren't actually
set to be released by court order fully redacted until the twenty second. So
there's that, Boston Paul, just right, hold on, relax, you
guys are not far from retirement. What are you talking about? Ross and
I have twenty some plus more years. I mean, if under a standard
standard thing, if his one of his plots to become a billionaire, so
you can recact have it on lives, I guess happens before then, but
I don't know he's going to be retired. So got homes to demolish and
stuff. So yeah, no, we're not you Boston Paul up at of
the o dark six o'clock Happy Hour joining us for the show, which we
appreciate, but yeah, we're not getting out of there right away. So
but you know, thanks for your encouragement. So anyway back to this,
So we had the second batch here and there's a rather interesting anecdotal little story
about a former president. And I've noticed when they're doing this stuff, they
all all these stories. Just they said, you know, Trump and Bill
Clinton. Trump and Bill Clinton were mentioned in the documents. Yeah, but
they were mentioned kind of different, right. If you read the documents from
yesterday, there's a little snippet of testimony where a lawyer is asking one of
the one of the victims there about different into visuals if she ever saw them
or if she ever saw them more specifically at any of Epstein's properties, and
she said no versus. And again it is kind of you know, he
goes through a person. But you have a statement of Epstein's that basically was
made in the presence of one of the victims, and it just said that
he Bill Clinton likes him young. I don't know. I feel like there's
a little more and more there, But it wasn't Clinton who said it.
So from a court of low standpoint, that's not how it works. Well,
lo and behold this. According to yesterday's Info, former President Bill Clinton
allegedly stormed into the Vanity Fair newsroom and threatened staffers not to publish stories against
his good quote, good friend Jeffrey Epstein that according to newly unsealed court documents,
the amount of projection on this whole thing, especially as it pertains to
Trump. I saw people floating the video of that prosecutor, which is,
you know, basically going back to the original Epstein thing where it said that
you know, everyone, all these blanket you know, inquiries were made,
and the only person who actually stepped forward to the provide info to the DA
was Trump. That's according to this DA, who's not a he's not a
Republican DA by the way, or not, he's not even a DA at
the moment, but he was. I can't heil a federal title as a
prosecutor. But yeah, this from Sharon Churcher, right. Churcher, who
was a journalist, mentioned the encounter in a twenty eleven email exchange. So
this is interesting because this isn't just somebody who very recently was like from my
recollection this, this is you know, a reporter who has this email exchange
from twenty eleven, long before reverend to any of this insanity talking about it.
And they're talking about it in a you know, in I guess,
an unguarded moment now that the emails are in there. So I went like
this, Basically, the the the journalist was advising Guffree, which is,
you know, kind of the main plain iff there and what to do and
whether to do an interview and sell a photo to the publication. Churcher was
offering to help her land a book deal at the time when I was doing
some research into Vanity Fair. Yes, say, concern me, concern me
what they could write about me, considering that Bill Clinton walked into Vanity Fair
and threatened them to not write sex trafficking articles about his good friend. Now
this is Guffrey who is again retelling this story. But also you have this
journalist who though was acting in I guess a consultancy manner, who also mentioned
it. So is it the smoking gun? Here's Clinton? Here's video of
Bill Clinton in the Vanity Fair newsroom demanding that he be able to control the
news. No, but you do have two separate Now, now granted they
knew each other, and again I'm not a lawyer, but you know they're
both recollecting or writing about the same incident, and you know as to what
the truth of it is is, because you know, things can get Paul
Bunyan and it's the you know, the the tin can game, I guess,
the messenger game, and by the time you get to the end,
the message is a little different. I don't know, but I absolutely believe
that a high profile politician, especially a Democrat, would feel perfectly comfortable storming
into a leftist newsroom and making demands. Absolutely believe that. And I don't
know. I think Clinton probably had a little more sway back in twenty eleven
before we got into the you know, the the deepest portions of this.
Let's see here. A Clinton spokesperson referred the post to a statement that said
the former president quote knows nothing about the terrible crimes and hasn't spoke to him
in quote well over a decade. I did see him say twenty years in
another statement. But it's been a while, is what they're saying. So
yeah, I mean that's it wasn't the pure document dump that you saw.
And that's again because some of the information can't be released till a twenty second.
But there's gonna be a bunch of these. I don't know what the
number is, and you know, we'll stay on top as best we can.
So there you go, all right six seventeen ac Oday radio program.
You know, we were talking about although William Barber insanity right with the movie
theater and all of that. Obviously we talked about on the show, and
then I brought up with Mark Robinson yesterday. We were talking to him.
I don't know if I'm ever gonna go to a theater again. Man,
I don't know how many ross how many times do you think you go to
the theater to see a movie annually? Definitely not as much as we used
to. I don't know. Oh yeah, I'm sure, but because back
in the day it was like what two times a month or something. Yeah,
you guys are always gonna be like ah, the wife and I because
you'd wait for the boy to be in school and then you had that flexibility.
Yeah, I mean he still goes. I mean, if we can
find one that you know, the Mattine from like twelve to two or something.
No, maybe like three or four times a year now, okay,
maybe I I I'm I've never been a big theater dude anyway, because whatever,
But I have not had the desire even to go to the Imax,
which is like, if you're gonna get me to go see a movie.
It might be you know that one I got to see that one of the
Imax, Like I hold none of that desire anymore. And then I see
stuff like somebody somebody tweeted at us where somebody's sitting in a theater. This
is Glendal. I'm assume it's Glendale, California. I believe, yes,
so uh near La. And they are in the movie theater and they have
a full one of the it's a big ass laptop like with you know,
with the the what the big screen, you know, probably seventeen inch screen,
and uh, just sitting there in the movie that thing all bride as
hell, just on their laptop, right in the middle of a movie.
And absolutely when somebody said something like how dare you? How dare you say
anything? And I think eventually staff had to come in and be like,
you can't use your giant laptop on full brightness. That's what kills me.
Ross you saw the picture. They didn't even dim the damn thing. Right,
if I'm sitting in like in the evening, if I'm sitting in bed
and I'm anywhere near going to sleep, the first thing I do on my
iPad is I put it on the nighttime mode, so it gets rid of
the this is in a theater, like, think of how how bright a
phone screen is. This is a giant laptop in the theater. And and
that's like every time I see one of these, I'm just like, you
know, and I made the right decision not going to the uh I go
into the theater for this one. But it's crazy, man, Some people
just don't care whatever they're supposed to be doing, doing something else entirety.
All right, well, I'll give you a rundown to some other stuff.
We have a candidate that was just kicked off a ballot in Ohio for a
reason I had never heard before. We'll have to talk about that much more
coming up. CaCO Day Radio program show. After the show is on the
iHeartRadio app. Search Cacoday for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All
right, they're gonna this isn't gonna affect everybody, but you had Duke Energy
and you were lucky enough to get one of these texts a little bit of
confusion, so you know, we don't have to go back. But what
a year and several other instances but around the same time where Duke Energy actually
had rolling blackouts for some customers. They had some issues around the holidays cold
weather that obviously got people on edge, so they sent a text out to
I don't know if all the customers, but many, many, many customers.
I'm a customer as well. I get texts from them, you know,
if there's a power outage near me, or a line thing or what
is another text I got from yesterday, some about vegeta. They were clear
and vegetation or something. I don't know. I'm assuming that's around boxes and
stuff in my neighborhood. But but in this one, people saw it and
I'll read it to you, and immediately they thought Duke was warning that there
could be power outages. The tweet reads excuse me. The message reads tomorrow,
but this was yesterday, so referencing today, we anticipate energy demand to
be high. Please take steps to minimize power use from six to nine am.
So people are like, oh my gosh, are you saying that we
could lose power? But Duke's energy spokesperson Jeff Brooks, so the message is
it's just telling customers about higher energy demand. More people will be using energy,
especially between six and nine am. But as far as blackouts, Duke
does not anticipate any So I just basically freaked everyone out for nothing there.
I don't know. I mean, considering, you know, some of the
incidents I mentioned where you guys did have some issues. Maybe maybe whoever's writing
that could just think about it for a moment. How people are going to
interpret that, because remember, we're panicky, dumb animals. But also the
idea of not having power during what is the morning routine for most households,
right, kids getting up doing what they're doing. You guys are getting ready
for work, breakfast, everybody's in a hurry. The idea of not having
power obviously freaks some people out, but they say that's not that's not the
case. But did have to issue a statement on it. I feel like
it's a plot against us, right. I just think it's convenient. They're
telling people not to use, you know, power, you know, like
I don't know, maybe a radio that probably uses some power. And it's
just during the show hours. I don't know what's going on, but I
don't like it. But no, it's everything's gonna be fine. Uh and
check this out. We got a little breaking news this morning. Go ahead
and get the uh. And I have I have a question or two.
You guys remember Oscar Pistoris, Pistoris or Pastorius, because it's Pistorius a blade
runner, right, the Olympian with the metal springy blade things. I don't
know what the technical term. Well, we got a little breaking news with
him. He's been uh he's been stewing for about eight years in prison in
South Africa for his girlfriend's murder. And uh, there's been a big development.
I'll explain coming up after the news. Hang out, everybody. Case
is on ninety four or five w P T I and the Triad and one
L six one f M talk in the Triangle. All right, Yeah,
I'm gonna get I'm gonna get to the pistoria this thing here in just a
moment. I'm just looking at this this person and they're they're just camped up
in the middle of a movie theater, giant laptop open. I can't I
can't tell what they're looking at. It doesn't indicate it was corner or anything.
But I mean, we're gonna go there, go all the way,
man. But yeah, just watch the damn movie. If you don't want
to come to the dam way. Hold on the Rosses in the hall.
What is he doing in the well? What do you do? Oh?
My gosh, what what what are you doing? Hold ony? But he's
right, what do you Why are you mad adoring while I'm trying to do
the show? Do you understand how distracting it it is? Being a matador
is my passion. You know this? You know, I had a small
eighteen month old bull in there and just running. And you're in a hallway.
You're not in a big open area. I don't feel like this is
gonna go well for you. Hold on, hold on, here comes the
oh no, oh, oh, oh, come on, you got this?
Oh, don't get hurt. Oh it always got gourd. Oh that's
uh. I'm sorry. Is this distracting for you a little bit? Yeah,
you're because he's also got the people with the uh you know, I
got the drunk idiots running from the bulls too. So like the periphey,
in my eye, it's ross dress is a madador bull going flying by and
drunk dudes in those white Paisano shirts. So it's something. I'm assuming you're
headed to Olive Garden when you're done, but maybe you could do that after
the show, maybe not during the show, as it's wildly, wildly distracting.
So all right, well we got that going for us, so we'll
try to work around it. But Oscar Pistorius, blade Runner, who was
sentenced to it was thirteen years, so I have thirteen years. He is
out, that's right. He had. He had done what seven and a
half years, and under the way that they do sentencing and good behavior and
and others, he was then eligible to go on home detention. And so
that's what they did yesterday. They removed him from the prison and he is
now confined to It's not his house, but he his his family is flush
Man. So apparently he will use one of his uncle's mansions and according to
authorities, will serve out the remainder of his sentence there under. And this
is where I have some questions under home confinement and electronic monitoring. I don't
want to be insensitive here. Where where's the anklet go in this instance?
Right? Because even if you firmly attach it to one of and he doesn't
just have the blades, he has those, and he's got a couple,
you know, he's got a couple other setups, but there removable. And
also, if you ever said ross you ever see the blades that he walks
on. I mean they've seen the ones that he competes in. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I mean he has similar, smaller ones where just day
to day, like you see him in court, you can see him wearing
them. How do you how do you put an ankle monitor on that?
Right? I mean, well that's what because I don't know what you mean
by electronic monitoring. The things don't they don't they're all the same width,
right? Or is he just gonna be like a model prisoner They're gonna be
like, ah, yeah, I know he's uh, he's never strayed from
the you know, from from the area there. He's a a model what
do they call it, community home, community corrections candidate. Right. Meanwhile,
there's pictures of him and they're like, maybe he does have a beach
in his backyard that looks like Malta, I don't know, and pineapple drinks.
But yeah, the family of his former girlfriend, they're not pleased about
it because if you remember his defense, and the one he hasn't deviated from,
is that he shot her because he thought she was a burglar, but
she was in a bathroom, and the courts did not buy that, but
no, he's home in this This is a nice house and is under electronic
monitoring. But they don't detail how that works exactly. Let's see here trying
to figure if he's got it? So is he there for five years?
Then? I guess, yeah, they have various restrictions throughout the remainder of
his sentence. So what you know, probably better than a South African prison
if I had to guess, all right, eight eight eight, can I
get the number? Now? Are we good? To? We? Rock
and Rolling Ross had to restart computers and in between matadorans, So all right,
eight yeah, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
It was the callscreener computer, which literally only has one job and has been
kind of a jerk about it here lately. All right, campaign season is
officially underway. I guess it has been underway, but the Biden, the
Biden campaign has released their first ad for the next presidential election, and I
don't know, I don't feel I don't feel very hopeful. But you be
the judge. Here we go. I've made the preservation of America to boxing
the central issue of my presence. I believe in free and fair elections and
the right to vote fairly and have your vote counting. Something dangerous from in
America. There's an extremist movement and does not share the basic police and our
democracy. All of us are being asked right now, what will we do
to maintain our democracy? History's watching, the world is watching. The most
important our children and grandcheld will hold us responsible. The Vice President and I
have supported Vote Rise since day one of this administration, and I ask every
American to join me in this cause. America is still a place of possibilities,
where the power resides with we the people. That's our soul. We
are the United States of America. There is nothing beyond our capacity, and
we act together. I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message, all
right. So the cruch of it is, hey, like democracy, Well,
if you don't vote for Biden, it's gone. So but it did
have uplifting music, so there's that other There was a little ominous music,
and so they're going to let that Trump get in the ballot, right,
Well, I mean, come on the fourteenth Amendment and stuff. Man,
that's all you have to say. If you just go on Twitter and just
right out of the fourteenth Amendment boom. I just feel like, you know,
if you believe in democracy, you should let the opposit Canada on the
ballot so people could choose, because it's sort of the definition of Oh did
you not see the dumbest op ed response to that by the Washington Post.
Okay, let's say, uh ross, Let's say that you found a baby
you wanted to vote for it for president? All right, shouldn't you be
able to vote for that baby? H No? I mean it says,
you know, we're in the Constitution, right the age you need to be
a certain age, Yeah, a baby, But it also says you can't
do an insurrection and stuff, so can't try, you know. I just
don't feel like there's sort of I don't know, being hypocritical or somehow,
so you just ballot or if people want to vote for your ideas, you'll
vote for you. I mean, who do you think would nap more?
Biden or a baby? Uh? Oh man? Or how much? Who
would need more sleep to maintain a positive appa? I preferred the pop tart
versus cheese at pole was easier. This is tough. Yeah, what did
choose? Probably mean a chance? Maybe the baby? The baby? Huh?
Maybe? I mean, yeah, now I'm going Biden going Biden.
Come, well, look with Biden sometimes I don't know what the hell he
wants, right, like screaming at some one of his voters and trying to
fight him. Right for an innocuous question. With a baby, don't you
really have like three or four avenues that if you explore them, the baby
will probably calm down, right, baby needs changed, or baby needs food,
or baby just needs some sort of stimulation, right, be around people
or to have keys shaken at it, Whereas with Biden, I don't know
what the hell gets that guy going. But yeah, no, that was
that was the That was an that was an actual op D. And I
didn't go with baby. But they basically said, like, what if you
had a thirty year old candidate you liked, he can't do it and for
the same reason we can't have Trump on the ballot. That was that was
the logical leap on that article. So with Trump, was Trump ever actually
charged with insurrection? Was that a charge? Because I mean, if that's
the argument, then he would probably have to be charged right and tried for
insurrection. Did that ever happen? No? Oh it didn't. Okay,
No, it's not one of the current charges either, are there. I
mean, obviously there are charges surrounding from the from a DC standpoint, but
it's not insurrection per se, because remember that just comes down to whatever the
Secretary of State up in Maine interprets it as. Right Judge Panelly Colorado,
So he hasn't been found guilty or charged with insurrection, but they're throwing them
off the ballot for insurrection. Well, they they've charged him with insurrection like
basically, you know, advocating for it, pushing it along, so it
doesn't So once again, it's so this is just confusing. I'm trying to
figure it out. I want to know, like, where are we going
to get a baby? I mean, let's let's let's go and run this
test. Right you ever met a baby you want in charge of anything?
Because I haven't. Not no offense to babies, but they're rather impulsive.
Why do you hate babies? That's obviously what's going I hate democracy and babies.
Can we get some promos for it? Oh? I was just thinking
we need them. Don't go to the and by the way, don't don't
okay, okay, don't don't get away from the screen when he's on his
phone. That's how he manipulates Twitter. Put it down not hate babies in
democracy, just saying some babies. Probably you don't want to make a tactical
military decisions, but I don't know, could be worse. So that was
that was the argument right there. Well, you just like, yeah,
I can't vote for you know, an underage person. You can't vote for
an insurrectionist. Oh, absolute insanity. But it was not the the dumbest
op ed I saw yesterday. That goes to the New York Times. Wait
till you hear who They gave Carl Blanche to write whatever the hell she wanted
on their editorial front page. I'll give you those details coming up here on
the CaCO Day radio program. Thank you. Kse Is on n w PTI
and the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right,
I was admittedly I was only partially following this story Ross, but it
was on New York Post. Of course, you got nine pictures of her
gamen and her gamer gear. I didn't know anything about this. Check.
Professional video gamer Nadia, who lays claim to being one of the best Call
of Duty players in the world, says she has been blacklisted from tournaments by
Activision Blizzard, which is the developer, and she's claiming it's because she chooses
to game like on Twitch in a bikini. She also has not an only
fans, but there's another one that doesn't allow overt nudity and she has an
account on that, so it's just her and bikini pictures gaming. And so
she's claiming that hersh you know, she wants to game a tournament in a
bikini because that's how she's quote most comfortable. It does not provide her a
tactical advantage. She sas a bunch of crap right there, dude, especially
like a competitive tournament, because a lot of it. Listen, it's not
like she's like just at home playing by herself. A lot of these times,
these giant tournaments are like, you know, big holes, and you
have PC next to PC, right next to PC, and you're all sitting
next to each other, and you're sitting there with a bunch of teenage dudes
while you're wearing barely nothing. There might be a chance that I don't know,
for a split second they look over and they go, oh, boobs,
and then they're dead playing the game. So it definitely gives you an
advantage. Shut up well where his last words are good boos. Put that
on the tube Stone, Oh that's said. Even if she was let's say
that she was dressed, you know, not even in a bikini, right,
yeah, just T shirt and jeans or something. Right, if she's
still a smoke show, I feel like dudes are still especially with that right
that community. Yeah. Twitch recently they had they think had a thing on
Twitch where they were like, you were allowed to like not be nude,
but it could look like you were nude. And they're like, we're going
to do this for artistic reasons. And they just two days ago they completely
because they they put the room to effect, then they stopped it. Then
they made it even like more where you could have even more nudity, and
they're like, hey, we made a huge mistake. We're not going to
do it, so now you can't have any I think they called it perceived
nudity. You can't remember what they called it. So it's like it's like
the whole Austin power stick where like you know there's stuff would be covered.
Remember they seen with like the melons or whatever you're holding the pineapple's eyes on
two girls streaming and they had like the black bars, but it was like
it was like construction board that they taped right right, so you can't do
any of Ye they have done a complete when ad and you can't do that
anymore, and give an example of why. So right before the thing was
overturned a few days ago, I log on Twitch, just really quick to
see what's going on, see what what friends are on, and they have
at the top of the screen like, hey, these are the recommended streams
that are very popular now. And there was a girl there apparently playing a
video game, but she's just looking straight at the camera, completely topless,
and I'm like, oh, what is this? So I'm like, what
the heck? So I click it right and she's the research because I'm really
like, how is this allowed on Twitch? It makes no sense? And
because I'm well aware of the rules, right, because because I have to
follow the rules or I will get kicked off Twitch, especially as a dude
like I would. You're out of here, buddy. So I click on
it and she's got body paint just on her nipples, white white body paint
on her nipples. See you got her her breasts there? And then on
it. You have splattery of white paint on her nipples, right, And
I'm like, this cannot be allowed. This seems a little bit extreme.
And it was the next day the Twitch. I'm guessing this was the reason
why Twitch was like this rule, we cannot have it no more. This
cool perceived nudity or whatever it's called. So we're reversing that decision. But
she have like fifty viewers, she had a few, she had a few
people watching. So are you just like mad caid. Shit, I've said
this before. It's completely unfair, like if and I know this in the
Twitch community, this is like how dare you say this? But female streamers
have a huge advantage over dudes if they are whores completely you can just sit
there and be like you could just sit there and be like in the game,
like I said, there was no game. It was his camera straight
on her pain on the boobs. Why do we have jillion up? But
jillion and and and there's gonna be some female streamers that are like, well,
that's not true. I'm a female streamer. That doesn't happen. Well,
maybe you're not as hot as she is, and maybe you're not a
whore that could possibly be the reason why. And I guarantee you, like
ninety percent of the people in her chat are like teenage dudes that are just
like in Heaven at home, just like this is the greatest body paint enthusiasts.
I mean, you know, yeah, that's such an unfair advantage,
dude, that body paint this. Uh me? And So I was at
Marty Gras one time with a couple of my buddies, and it's important.
One of my buddies is like how old Neil's like six four six five's a
police officer up in the Twin Cities anyway. So we're down at Marty Gras
pick him and and we're walking. We're a half block down the street and
we're inebriated and it's dark, and these two girls are walking towards us with
a dude, and from a half block away it's clear they have no shirt.
It's on, just body pain, Like you're not fooling anybody. And
I remember the dude got really mad and squared up on Neil, and the
guy who was squaring up was like five to five. We were just staring
at my girlfriend like did you have a shirt of man? I don't know
if you noticed, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway,
more on this in a morning. All right, good morning everybody,
and welcome. It is hour number two. You're on your Friday. Glad
to have you along. About an hour from now, exactly an hour from
now, we'll chat with the he counter talked about, you know, just
some of the and we got tons of tons of stories still in the queue
because we haven't chatted since you know, pre vacation, so plenty to get
to there one hour from now, that's coming up. All right. Let
me just on the back half of this of this bikini streamer who is mad
she can't compete in these tournaments. Many people are speculating that the objection by
Blizzard was not that she wanted to go tournament in a bikini, but rather
they previously there was a scandal because she was using aimbots, which, if
you don't know what that is, basically it's like a cheat for a video
game. Trying to describe this in the easiest terms as possible, but in
a game like Call of Duty, rather than having to be you know,
have perfect precision to be able to lock that shot on an opponent, basically
it just does it for you. But that's an accurate description. Ross,
I don't. Uh yeah, there's software inbots like that, and then there's
like you can buy cheaper, like super cheap versions where what you do is
you put like a cross us fire decal in the center of your TV because
because the way these games work is it's it creates the illusion that you're moving
the camera around, but every single time you actually kill somebody in the Call
of Duty game, it's in the center of your screen. So you put
like a cross hair over overlapped decal on your TV, and it's sort of
like you always have the crossbar there so you can see where you're supposed to
shoot. So you could do that at home, and it's so it is
kind of like cheating. It's more of like a tool. But like the
aimbots I think you're talking about are the software ones. It aims for you
and sort of like shoots for you. But it did a bunch of other
stuff. Because the way she got mested is how some of these others where
she she she something came forward on her screen and it was a control panel
that had a bunch of manipulation, right, and she pretended like it was
a pop up and like that. There's been a bunch of these, right,
But you know what she's what she's getting is she's getting the press that
she wants. So people go by her bikini photo subscriptions. And I think
that if you know, as we've seen with some of these, eventually she'll
look at her bikini money and go, hey, you know, it would
make more money, because that's been that's been kind of the natural progression.
And a lot of these streams, like even Twitch streams, they just use
the Twitch to steer people to their only fans, right, And so we'll
see there. But then I thought, because at least I have to Devil's
advocate, what if there is a decisive tactical advantage to gaming and swimwear.
Yeah you're lighter, Yeah, you're lighter, right, Like, what if
you could shave I don't know a minute off of your dark soul speed?
And this is why, this is why I shave my entire body for that,
for that exact reason. So first stream of the year, just you
and body pain. Correct, dear God, all right, I wonder if
you'll make it on the recommended channels on the front page of Twitch. With
that, I will not hold my breath. So anyway, I'm like that
now, now you got understand me. I'm a solutions guy, right,
So I see this, Ross and I'm like, you know, we don't
have to quibble over why they don't want her to do it or some of
the things. I think you got to go lingerie football league on this,
do you know what I mean? Right? The answer is not to tell
her no. The answer is to go, hey, you got like twenty
friends because I'm starting a new league, and then maybe just cash in on
that because I'm assuming they're making some money with the lingerie Football League. Right.
And that was I'm sure that was two drunk guys's idea somewhere like hey,
what if we did this, bud and then boom, that's a thing
now, So yeah, why not this? Man? Absolutely all right,
let me flip back. Let's say we got sidetracked. I'm just doing thorough
journalism here, man, oh man, i gotta tell you the pressure at
University Alabama and I'm sure they're not a own, but has got to be
crazy. I don't know if you saw this, So, Rossie, did
you watch it? You watched the Alabama game? Right? You actually know
I did not, which one did you did you say you were watching at
your in laws or something, or they were maybe they were every talking about
the National Championship game, well with the National Championships Monday, but the semi
cupe. Yeah, no, The one we watched them at in law's house
was the state game versus Kansas State with the okay, all right, all
right, right, so that was pop Tart. You watched, all right,
but you caught a good one other than the score if you're a State
fan. But so like the center who snapped the football and at the end,
there's a lot of memes about this. It looked it didn't look like
a good d one team was trying to execute. Uh And part of it
was the snapper did a lasst snap, so he snapped it really low,
and I guess earlier in the game. There have been a couple of times
where he snapped early because he said he could hear clapping, which I guess
is you know what they use in the count they're at Alabama. But people
immediately looked at ah, your bad snap costs this, when in reality Alabama
had a couple of things that they screwed up there at the end. But
dude, is transferring. You're the you're the center for Alabama, which obviously,
look even though they're not gonna be a national champion this year is a
perennial potential and it's like everyone hates you so much you're changing schools. Really,
yeah, no, you can't walk around there anymore, can't go anywhere
in the entire state. You think it's used to be miserable. Well,
we drove through Alabama and I'll tell you about the roadside. So the the
that they have the billboards which I've driven the length of I've driven from Chattanooga
to New Orleans before, right through the right through the middle of Alabama.
The thing I remember is a cop on every overpassed. What were the We
didn't see any cops there the entire tire trip. Yeah, maybe because it
was the holidays. So the first billboard that I saw that really was like,
wow, this is amazing. Where was the ones near Talladego where you
can rent a tank. They're like giant tanks and they're like you can drive
this tank, and I'm like, this place is amazing. The other one,
you know what, you didn't go whoa, you didn't go rent a
tank? Hey man, we were at a timeline. So the other ones
were the giant Alabama signs that all say, you know, Alabama, where
legends are made, and every stop, everywhere you go, it's roll Tide
and everything is Crimson, And yeah it depends. Not a lot of War
Eagle stuff. We didn't see that there, I mean by Alabama everywhere.
So good luck if you're the dude that screwed up that game. Yeah,
you're gonna be ostracized forever. Dude, Well you say there, we're in
Alabama, And I would argue that he could, right, he just I
bet if he goes to like some of the Auburn bars, they'll buy him.
Sure. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, go North.
Well where's he transferring to? Well, you just entered the transfer pot,
okay, which, by the way, I'm just, dude, what's happening
to college sports? I just don't even I understand wanting to get a more
formalized transfer process, although everybody knew what the deal was. So it used
to be with the school. And you want to go play for another school,
you got to sit out a year. Right, You don't lose any
a year of eligibility, but you do lose you would lose a year being
able to play, and then we get this transfer protocol and you know,
coupled with how it was operating during COVID and what we're seeing now, it's
like, you know, you got kids that are on there are going for
their third school now, and you know there's been a lot of big transfers.
You know, Tua and Jalen Hurts were at Alabama at the same time
and one of them said he I need the playing time. So we got
out of there. We had the wide receiver for the tar heels where the
governor and Attorney General or threatening threatening the NCAA hey, and eventually they got
their way. Man. So between that and what's going on with the conferences
and like somehow the money that they're giving the kids for name, image likeness
has turned out to be the least annoying thing right now. Although the pictures
of Caleb what's his bucket at usc and his downtown LA giant super millionaire condo,
that is a little it is interesting to watch an NCAA player, you
know, on the fiftieth floor overlooking La and you know, a five thousand
square foot condo. But it is what it is. It's big school,
big donors, big business out there. But yeah, he's like he screwed
that snap up and he's like, I guess I gotta leave the South now.
So I don't know he's where he's gonna go, but he is.
He's now in the running. So basically the transfer portal is they say it's
a tool to manage transfer process. But also so if you're a kid and
you want to transfer you to the center, you throw your name on there
and then other coaches can see who's wanting to transfer and then they go for
it. I'm not I don't know all of the intricacies. There's stuff that
still confuses me on this, but I don't know. You hear those words
and a lot of people go, what does this bes. It's just a
more formalized process, albeit with some different rules for what we've what we've seen
over the years. All right, let me flip back to this. I
mentioned Biden campaign getting their first commercial. We played that basically if you if
you like democracy, vote Joe and if you don't, no more democracy.
So very sad and out a couple nicely with the I don't even you call
this. So the Biden campaign has announced a series of stops to quote highlight
important stories about the nation, about national trauma. So basically they've selected a
bunch of places where he's going to go give a speech and then wander around
like a rumba. But they're all at places where really horrible stuff happened historically
in the US. It's like, ah, the magical Misery Tour. Right,
So look, if you're if you're if you're wanting to inspire and you
know, paint a picture about why you're the best candidate, the competition be
damned, and your your your campaign strategy, I guess is seemingly, hey,
democracy, you know this is we have to retain democracy. And you've
heard this talking point all over the place. Well, at the same time
they're removing people from ballots. But now he's going to go stand literally on
the graves of people and try to get him inspired and not at all,
just to try to get him really, really angry. And it runs the
gamut. This Saturday, Biden will be at Valley Forge, all right,
So it's not I say, the misery tour misery in the sense that he's
going where they had to spend that awful winner. And so he's highlighting quote
the Bleak Winner nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, a speech during which
he will likely to cry former President Trump as once again an insurrectionist and take
his fight there. But it's not just revolutionary war battlefields. There's a whole
list. There's some civil rights locations. On Monday, he'll be in Charleston
at the Mother Emmanual Church if you remember that is where you know where you
had that the white supremacist dude who went and shot up that church, killed
all those people. He's gonna go do a campaign event there and I don't
know, I saw people saying this is dumb, and it seems very it
seems to very well demonstrate what the what the energy of this is going to
be. But also politicians go and they stand there where bad things happen.
Usually they do it on a more recent basis. Right go to a hurricane,
look to see what happened there, fly down and when there's been some
sort of tragic event, give speeches, appear on CNN town halls that are
totally rigged, looking at you for Florida. But you know they'll go to
nine to eleven, you know site in New York can give speeches. That's
not unusual. Generally they tend to be more hopeful nowadays. But I don't
think these are gonna be hopeful. And I don't know, there's just some
there's something a little creepy years later of him going to this church where all
these people were shot for a campaign, stump was find that weird. And
by the way, when you get into more recent stuff, it seems to
be coming from one direction, Like I don't think he's going to be going
to Iowa. I mean, he'll go to Iowa, but I don't think
he's going to go to where yesterday, Perry High School, Perry, Iowa,
and do an event there. Why because without giving this guy's name,
even though he had or somebody had deleted some social media accounts, you know,
the internet's forever, and people found a variety of things, including his
activism. He's an LGBT activist at you know, at least to some extent,
And like it's weird because apparently that didn't make the final cut of some
of the stories, and so you start getting those Nashville vibes, right,
You're like, I wonder how deep we're going to get into this? You
know what I didn't see remember the remember down in Florida, the shooting ross
where like the dude's family was already giving interviews on record and they posted all
of his internet stuff. Look what he carved on the gun, right.
I don't feel that that's going to happen here at all. I feel like
he's not going to go to those He's not going to go to the school
in Nashville, and he's going to Perry, Iowa, mark my words,
probably isn't going to the softball field either. And yes, as pointed out
now by a couple of emailers, they're is a bit of irony when you
consider that George Washington was an insurrectionist. So we're looking forward to that him
standing there at Valley Forge to crying quote insurrectionists for all of the laughable reasons.
So anyway, that's the Magical Misery Tour, and boy o boy are
we looking forward to that in Sandy because it's always more fun when he glitches
and he's angry, because then you get those whispers too, and it's all
those weird mannerisms. Smart Talk all Day ninety four five w PTI in the
Triad and one six one FM talked in the triangle. All right, welcome
back in he is seven thirty five KC Oday radio program. All right,
man, even newsweeks writing articles over this. So not that that's a good
parameter because they're garbage, but you know, it's getting a little more mainstream
push. This is from Monday. All right. So there was an incident
in a mall in Miami, and the incident was initially described as a call
of juveniles, a big group of juveniles who were I guess outside the mall.
I guess inside and outside the mall, who were causing a disturbance and
may be fighting each other or getting ready to fight each other, and they're
shoot I guess they're shooting fireworks at each other and they have sticks. All
right, So that's the call. And this is Bayside Marketplace shopping center in
Miami, which, by the way, I was going to look up where
this is. I'm assuming it's beside the bay, but you know, let
me get it on a map. Here we go, Bayside Marketplace, I
think I actually okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, it's over
towards it. Yeah yeah, it's off of the Cruise just south of the
causeway there. What do they called Brickell area of Miami in the downtown,
but this is right on the waterfront. There actually have been here, all
right. So anyway, the police response was significant. If you look at
the video, you see tons of squad cars headed there. Now, why
am I telling you all this? It happened to Miami. Why do you
care? Because another narrative emerged and has been the topic of discussion following.
Also, a video, basically a video which I believe it or not is
grainy, purports to show something far more nefarious than juveniles with sticks and fireworks.
And then you couple that with the police not being very forthcoming with some
of their video and how big the police response was, and nobody's buying that
it was juveniles with sticks. There's also what some of them we're leaving out
is there was a report of what sounded like it they have been gunshots.
And it's funny because the people that are all in on this conspiracy they kind
of have that as an afterthought when I'm like, well, look, if
police received a report of a fight, but they also received the potential that
somebody had opened fire, and this is in a shopping center, I feel
like you're going to send more than one squad. You're probably gonna send a
lot of people. That's just where we are. But what was being alleged?
All right, you're ready, ready for ross? You didn't see this
coming, did you? But you know, probably not a probably a good
reminder keep your head on a swallow a little mall. All right, here
is this chick has been all over it. Here's just one of the many
folks laying the case out on the TikTok. The Miami Police was not dispatched
there for a juvenile fight, and the obvious need for such an enormous police
presence was far more sinister than what we've been told. Wow, has multiple
witnesses claimed to have seen I can't believe I'm going to say this. Creatures
that stood eight to ten feet tall walking outside and even inside of the mall,
and the pewpews that were reported, and even the pewpews you might hear
in some of the videos had nothing to do with the juvenile fight. According
to these witnesses, it was actually the mall goers shooting to protect themselves from
these eight to ten foot tall creatures in self defense. All right, okay,
all right, why are a bunch of ten foot in a mall on
Monday evening, Like what, you're trying to get that new tumbler cup?
You think it's the Tumblr cup? All right, Well that's a good theory.
Well you know what also, also, what's the uh I'm trying to
remember the name of the what's the men's clothing store? That's the big and
tall one, right, because they're ten feet ross, Like, they're not
gonna go They're not gonna go to you know, Walmart and get closed.
If you're ten feet tall, you probably got to go to a specialty store.
So maybe they have one in the mall. I don't know, so
Tumblr cup in that, But I do love the part where they're like,
nah, you know that was that was just the mall goers who apparently are
all strapped to the teeth, uh, fighting the alien invasion and it's a
big cover up. So I didn't see there are their videos of the creatures
because I'm watching this woman's video and I'm seeing the police, you know,
from above and all the and I will give you that, man, there
are a lot of police there, right, But you understand, but you
agree by the way that a call with kids with fireworks versus one where they
might have heard gunshots is going to be a larger response, right, yeah,
I mean, but I'm saying the response that's quite a response there.
Yeah, well that's a big That part of that's one of the more busy
parts of Miami. It's just chock full of tourists. You got all the
people that are getting on or off the cruise ships that are kind of in
that area. So you know, as far as if you had to pick
targets where if you wanted to carry out an attack, you know how all
the cities have their lists, this has to be on there. That's a
very busy area there. But you're right, it's crazy the number of squads
have seen that video. Check your email. I sent you a link to
the Newsweek article and they have some still frames of what is quote one of
the ten foot creatures. Oh really okay, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah right
right, So Roskin, go check that out and then we'll put the link
out. I mean, I think so I see the photo here, there's
like a right circle, but I'm still not seeing a creature. See the
circle though, I do see the circle. Yeah, it's in red.
That looks like it's not even like a like a like an iPhone. So
it's like a like they drew it on paint, like it's not a perfect
circle. Well that's true, but you can, you know, you can,
you can on iPhone. You know, you can draw a circle and
hold it for a second, it will snap to a perfect one. But
if you don't, you'll get whatever the you know, the trace outline is.
So this person who did this obviously doesn't know that if you hold it
for a second, it'll snap to a standard circle. So but other than
that, I mean, I don't know that you could question that evidence.
Man, right, the tall aliots, I mean, you know, I
don't want to be like mister doubtful here, but it doesn't that could be
anything. It's like a like a white blur. Now I got a question.
They said eight to ten feet. Let's go on the low end,
and let's also identify that people. Let's identify that people eyewitness. You know,
testimony is not perfect, right, right, and there's been some crazy
examples, so I think people might overestimate the heights. Let's just go seven
seven and a half feet. If you're seven and a half feet and you're
at the mall, were they at foot locker, is what I'm asking,
Right, did you find a concentration of the aliens at foot locker? And
did they look like I don't know players from the Miami Heat, but how
do you how do you go from that to this? Well that's where we
are. So just keep in mind. Maybe if you're going to be taking
a trip to Miami, you could run into this. I mean that sounds
dangerous. We should probably move if there are there any sporting events this week
in Miami this weekend, I wouldn't want any players to sure. Oh my
god, no, no, the Buffalo game is this We need to move
that game back to Buffalo Stadium. I heard of Buffalo. It's nowhere near
the stadium's up in Miami gardens. Man, it's somebody actually said I heard
studio looking. I'm looking at Tyree Hill's house just burned down because his kid
was playing with a lighter in the in the bedroom or whatever. Right,
And then you know you have Tua who's had like I don't want I want
I'm thinking about two in his foundation. I don't want him to be eaten
by a giant ten foot creature before the game. It doesn't say they were
eating people. But okay, all right, it's a possibility. I remember
the last time really tall aliens came here, they had a cookbook. Right.
It took us a little while to figure that out. So not they're
here to serve man. Yeah, it's what it says, I mean right
there, at least partially. So you think, what then they should move
the game to a neutral completely, not a Buffalo move. Move it to
Buffalo beautifulest time of year? Is it? It is rased agic from the
Weather Channel. Would you describe the weather in Buffalo, New York as quote,
oh, Jeffino, Well, Jeffino will tell you. Would you describe
Oh, he's not there? Okay, did the aliens get him? Is
our weather guy being hauled off by a ten foot tall alien? What's going
on? All right? So Ross remains unconvinced, even though there is clearly
a red circle on that photo. So anyway, Jeffino, he's joining us.
I know we're doing the you know, North Carolina stuff. But you
wouldn't describe the weather in Buffalo, New York as quote beautiful this time of
the year, would you? No? Potentially it could be very rough with
that, you know, eight feet of lake effect snow and that sort of
thing. But anytime you can get the sunshine in the winter, I think
you got to counter your blessings up in that part of the country. Got
to be good for the fans. So when they like themselves on fire again,
they can, you know, dive into the snow, go through the
table. Yeah, like the hardy boys, the wrestlers. Yeah, all
right, well we got snow there. Alien invasion of Miami. I don't
know how this game is gonna happen, but whatever. So unfortunately the mantle
falls to you to kind of be a cautionary tale on the weekend. So
let's get to it. Yep, yep, just a couple of counties away,
we are looking at a winter weather advisory with the potential for some freezing
rain that is the issue. And that's over towards Alimance and areas also just
to the west, all the way towards the Winston, Salem and Greensboro area.
For us, it looks like for the most part, we are just
going to see the rain for Saturday, not today. Sunshine to day as
we got up into the mid forties, and then tonight a chance for some
rain and some freezing rain could possibly mix in late no advisories stretching to this
part of the state as of yet. We'll keep an eye on that,
and again we'll go back to around thirty for the overnight, so we're right
there on the line rain for Saturday with a high fifty two, and then
by Sunday, it's all a memory, mostly Sunday, and we'll get up
to around fifty five. All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it.
Sir ross I was just checking some of the businesses in there, Olive
Garden eight explain, So I think they made the trip. Then you think
they you think Universe, yes, mastered interstellar travel. But have you had
those breadsticks so they could come to Earth to eat unlimited breadsticks? Plus they're
ten feet and they're an alien species, like maybe that could potentially put Olive
Garden out of business, you know, like you don't know how much they
can consume. So anyway, yeah, they got Olive Garden, Bubba Gump,
Chili use a bunch of stuff there. So all right, Well,
we presented the story and you can look at the very convincing picture with the
red circle on it. Will tweet that link out and be right back that
show after the show case on the iHeart Radio app. Search Kcoday for the
podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, here we go seven fifty
two Acoday Radio program. Thanks for hanging out with us. Pete Callender will
join us coming up at eight oh five. There was a really, really
I don't know, weird thing that was on Fox News the other day.
I didn't get it. I want to get into this yesterday the day before,
and then I just spaced it because I'm dumb. But it's worth it's
worth sharing with you. So on Jesse Waters, Jesse Kelly No, Jesse
Waters decided, hey, you know what, why don't we get a tarot
card reader on the show and she can go ahead and do a reading about
you know, the presidential election and some of the candidates and Donald Trump,
right, what are his chances in twenty twenty four? So he decides to
host this segment and this thing gets off for awkward in about I don't know
five seconds. Here we go, well, here we go, all right,
So she's slipping the first card and I admittedly, I don't know anything
about a tarot reading other than like what I've seen in a movie. I
never never had one. Never been a round one, but like you just
shuffle it around and you like flip three cards, right, I don't know,
but whatever, but that's the version we get. And here we go.
What is that? I mean? I do recognize that I'm a Fox
TV A sense of loss? Okay, all right? The death card.
The first one she flips is the death card. Although every time in a
movie somebody flips it, they're either they either die really really quickly or it
gets explained away by whoever. The tarot card person is like, no,
it just means renewal or a new thing, or some disappointment or some loss
or But also, why do you have a tarot card? Person? Remember
when Jesse Waters did the important work? You remember? Remember what what got
what made Jesse Water was famous? Yeah? Why is he? Why isn't
he on the beach somewhere? That's right and interviewing future doctors and lawyers and
you know scholars of of the why aren't Why isn't he doing that? Keg
stand enthusiast. Yeah, I well, it's not spring break right now,
but I'm sure he can find a beach. Excuses Yeah, so options?
But yeah, I remember, I remember back in the day, with O'Reilly
that like every year they would do it was always the same. He would
be it would be in studio, right, he's in studio now, he's
already he's gathered his stuff. He's sitting there with Bill and they're like,
all the kids, they're crazy, they're all whrrors. Don't believe me.
Here I'll show you. And then he'd be down at spring Break and it
looked like, you know it, it was almost like when MTV started doing
spring Break, right, it was just running around all the cameras, just
interviewing idiots. Man, No, it's such an easy gig too. And
they did a whole week of it. They'd be like, oh, you
think they were you think they were whorees in Florida. Here's from Texas.
And then you know, and then it was just bro bros and uh you
know, uh, you know, girls running around and and that was a
whole week of programming on The O'Reilly Factor. And now he's got his own
show with the tarot card reader's busting the death card out. I don't know,
man, do we need a tear? We need to do we should?
Should we do a tarot card on the show? Do you want to
do that. Well, we'll bring in a reader something I don't know could
predict how twenty twenty four is gonna go. The only time I've ever been
involved with having a psychic person on the show, we uh, what was
the what was the Oh? Was hey? It was one of those I
can talk, I can, you know, interact with the dead people,
and it's like, we should have one come on, but they can.
They have to channel the Founding Fathers and it was good, but it could
have been better, right cause I don't can you specifically do that? Like
target? I just I want to talk to John Adams, right, can
you James Madison? What say you? By the way, that would have
been perfect when they were tearing statues down, right, So they're pulling the
what they just pulled the Jefferson statue up there in New York City. Wouldn't
that be fun? You just got a psychic on his channeling Jefferson. He's
like, what the what the That would be a good segment, of course,
I would just you know they're lying the whole time, but whatever,
So any who? All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four all right, Pete Callender will join us lots to get to.
They had a little some snaffoos down in the New Year's down in Charlotte.
So will flex our superiority, tryad triangle superiority on that, because you know,
it's like we don't have our own problems. The News and Observer they
posted a list yesterday and they had to be absolutely seething putting this thing together.
Man, the top ten moments we'll remember from politics in twenty twenty three
now, admittedly it's heavily, heavily and almost exclusively, i should say,
talks about the Republicans and the legislature. Kind of to be expected. They're
the really only the ones with any real power, man, But not everything
here looks like a w for what most of their op eds would tell you.
So we'll hit a few of those when we chat with Pete knag So
one of my favorite segments of the week, and we'll get it. What
is this? I'll give Ross the bills and six points for one hundred,
but Boston Paul's trying to get you to gambles, sir, That is it?
Boston Paul, you were a bad influence man, a wholesome family show.
How dare you? Happy Friday? They were done Friday Friday, and
he is the final hour of the week. I'm telling you, four day
work weeks, this is what we need. Happy. Everyone is Pete calenders
A. He's generally in a good mood. I'm kidding. If you follow
him on Twitter, people are insane and he's calling him out, but he
joins us now as he usually does. How you doing, sir, I'm
doing all right? How are you again? I'm just happy. I think
four day work weeks, we're onda something and just keep this stuff forward.
I'm not you know what we can do the thing where we do it and
then we claim it was our idea, so like, yeah, yes,
right, they yeah, they made this very nice pastry thing that's light and
fluffy, and then we just like slapped some cheese and ham, wrap it
in wax paper and throw it into people's cars. I'm sorry, a croissant
with some country ham in there, the real salty stuff. Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, French didn't know what they had until it was gone.
Right, that's fine, We'll go ahead and handle that. Man. Uh
dude, I gotta tell you it's crazy. You know, some years when
we get back and you know, into the new year, there's it could
be a bit of a grind. It's insane. It's been insane since we
cracked the mic on Tuesday, and it's like, all the good, all
the all the craziness that happened, uh during the course of vacation was almost
enough, almost enough to get me to one back. I want to come
back and do a show, not the least of which is the William Barber
story. And uh, and let me before we get into this, but
you obviously, like me and like most people consuming the story, have probably
digested the details. And even though it is speculation in your mind, you
probably have your own how you think it went down, right, because I
do, yeah, And I based it on history videos I've seen of Barber
going all Karen on an airplane. You remember that, just the rest of
this and the logic leap that is required if you're going to report on this
to ignore the chair in question. Ass outlets did so. My theory is
this, You tell me if I'm if I'm missing some if you think I'm
wrong. He went in there. He had his chair, as he does,
and the chair is a high top like barstool chair, and in many
and in theaters, the handicap area tends to live in that middle area where
you enter, generally carved out of whatever row would be there. And and
in some instances there's a big wall behind it, but in most that I've
seen, it's the same height. It just has there's no chairs there,
so people with wheelchairs can get in there or whatever. So if you were
to set up there, and it's and it's in the middle of things,
so if you set up there, you're gonna be blocking people and and I
so in my opinion, he rolled in with the chair, I might add,
which it's I think it's weird that nobody said anything before set it up.
Obviously there's a problem. The employee who doesn't want to be there,
who doesn't want to deal with this, went in and was like, hey,
this is this is not gonna work. And it It went from zero
to sixty in five seconds, in my opinion, probably with Barber taking great
umbrage to this, How dare you when in reality I get that he has
physical issues, sure, and I also get that maybe some reasonable accommodations which
you know, the words, could have been found. But I don't think
that it got to get to that point. I think he was told no
and and wigged out, and then you know, made the statements and how
this is for the kids and how dare you and then took this thing to
the media as yet another another case of wild racism and an injustice. And
in reality, you got an employee probably doesn't want to come talk to him,
doesn't want to deal with this. You got a police officers coming out
to do a simple trespass. They don't care the story. That's for the
courts to figure out. And that's how we get to where we are today.
What do you use? Right? So, so when this happened,
I was on vacation during that week when this when the story first broke,
So I didn't come to it until after until this week, and so I
saw it and I, you know, bookmarked and I was like, I
come back and read this. So the first time I saw the story and
saw the video, I should say, was I played it during my live
stream and I was like, let me just see the video. And I
thought, at first, like I said, here's my initial impression before I've
even seen the video. I said, maybe it's like one of these fold
out chairs. Because one of the key elements to me in this story is
that he has an assistant that walks around with him with the chair. I
kill somebody, You've never seen No, I had no idea, I mean,
and the first thing I thought was like, surely this is like a
fold out chair. It's one of those like camp chairs but for really large
people or something. And surely, yeah, yeah, surely you're not.
You have not put somebody on payroll that thinks they're getting a job in you
know, social justice, civil rights activism and they're going to make a difference
in the world, and they're like, here, carry this chair. And
so then I see the chair, and I admit I had never seen the
chair before. And it's like a full on high top barschool, solid wood
chair. It's like it's something you would see at like an island in a
kitchen. You know, it's pretty heavy duty. And now I feel bad
for the assistant, like I just like this person they're going to need a
chair themselves because they're carrying around this thing for however many years, following Barber
all over the place with the chair. So then sorry, So that was
the first thing I thought, bad for the assistant. I've never seen the
chair. And then I start thinking through Okay, we'll wait a minute.
This guy is going to drag this chair in first, how did he get
it through the security in the lobby? Like do you like, do you
drag it up there while you get your popcorn and soda? And nobody says,
hey, what are you doing with this chair? Nobody thinks to ask
on the front end. Then he gets down into the area and what you've
just outlined where the disabled seating is, the handicapped seating is in a theater
is exactly where my mind went to. And no, you don't get to
sit in a chair that blocks everybody behind you from seeing the movie because they're
not. You know, they always put them, like you said, they
have like that center like halfway up. They've got like a center aisle or
whatever where there's no grade change, which is a right. It's obviously where
you put it where there's no grade change other than the right. Then you
can't go up the stairs, right, so you've got to be at that
lower part where there's like the ramps. And then they put they they usually
they just ripped out a bunch of chairs, you know, ten fifteen years
ago, ripped out a bunch of chairs and just gave like this flat area
at the base so people could, you know, park their wheelchairs there,
and everybody is fine with that. Now, I don't know why they could
have just said, well, why don't we just slide you over to the
side, you know, we'll put you over here. But i'm and that's
why i'm. It had to have it had to have escalated so quickly,
because that seems like a reasonable thing. And frankly, if I was the
guy with the chair, I would be cognizant enough that that is where I
try to set up right. And then maybe maybe they have an objection because
they're like, oh, you're blocking an aisle, it's a fire thing whatever.
But like, it doesn't sound like any of that conversation happened. It
was just you can't do this, and he's like, how dairy you?
And here we here we are right. And also, like you said,
the person who was interacting with this with barber, uh probably minimum wage a
little bit above, you know, they, like you said, they don't
want to be having this this interaction. And people asked me, oh,
do you think that this was a setup? Do you think that this was
staged? And I don't. For one reason, I think the video would
have started rolling earlier. Yeah, no, that's fair. Well, unless
there was nothing productive there, you know what I mean. Yeah, maybe,
yeah, maybe they're maybe they did roll tape earlier and it didn't it
didn't, you know, make him look good, and so they chopped it
out and sent it out that way. That's possible as well. But I
look, I tried to get people the benefit of the doubt. But like
you said, given Barber's past record, I have, you know, I
have little doubt he wants to make this into a much larger thing, because
that is what he does with virtually everything, and and I know that that's
his goal. But even like I even try to look at this and just
remove the politics from it and just be like he just he went off Karen,
He went Karen on an employee. He was telling him. No,
I mean, it's as simple as that, because he's got the ego from
what I've seen, and that's you know, that ego tends to be a
factor in so many of these stories where they're like, do you know who
I am? He just has he did just because of his profession, he
is able to rom a manual that thing and not let it go to waste
so years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am curious as too.
Like he says, oh, I've brought this chair everywhere, and like,
okay, first off, you have not brought the chair everywhere. Somebody
else has dragged this chair everywhere for you. I just feel like, I'm
not a big fan of politicians using the Wii for everything. And I understand
why they do it, but you know, they and they get into a
habit of saying we did this, we did that, and then they start
using Wii when they should actually be saying I because like there wasn't like a
multiple group, multiple people group that was doing a particular thing. It was
an individual act that you yourself did. But whatever they use we too much
case. I kind of feel like he should say the weed. You know,
he should say we bought the chair because it wasn't it was a team
effort, you know, right right. Maybe let me let me ask you
a question though, because I feel like you're you're too hard on this assistant.
Maybe the assistant loves their job, right, Maybe it's their speed,
you know, I mean, like the world figgers and it also needs assistance
with chairs. Man, Yeah, no, that's true. I mean at
least it's not like the full on you know, like the royal cabins or
whatever, the carriages that people would have. They have like seventeen eighteen people
with their you know, on their shoulders walking this thing all around, you
know. I leans, it's not that. Okay, well it's it got
the intended effects man. Well, how does he take flights? He should
No, he sits down in the chair. Remember the video of him on
the flight flipping out on don't no, I don't remember it. No,
I mean he gets yeah, I uh, one of our one of the
guys that we've had on the show in the past. Before we used to
have him on for a regular segment. He was on the same flight as
Barber from DC and uh, you know so, and he'll get a couple
different seats, right, make rooms generally sit up front. I get it.
If you're if you're a bigger person, whether it's a round or tall
or whatever it is, you're gonna be a lot more comfortable in the front.
I got no beef with that. But it's like he does have to
obviously sit, but you remember, like he was accused of getting into it
the flight attendant and putting his hand on her. You remember this video.
I don't know, I've totally forgotten this if I yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, dig that bad boy up. So all right, Frankly
and I would say that that story would take the cake for stupid this week.
And then I went up to the wr L website and was scanning the
old headlines as I do, and happened upon one. Now, granted,
this is is ap story reprinted on r L, but they didn't change the
headline. So here we go. Harvard president's resignation highlights new conservative weapon against
colleges plagiarism. All right, this is a article with a twist, Margaly.
It's one of the more aggressive ones I've seen. You saw that she
did a New York Times op ed. Did you see that this morning?
I did? Yeah. Yeah. It's weird because once again, man,
this this this conspiracy, this plan, this plot that was hatched to get
her, required so many fortuitive turns of decisions she made to really play out
the masterminds behind it. Yeah, she's a less absolutely amazing man. I
think. I mean, think about how far back and how deep this must
go to have gotten on the books, the rules against plagiarism low those many
years ago, probably decades, right, So they had to have foreseen this
at some point, the people who were not alive, you know, all
the one hundred years ago when they when they crafted their plagiarism standards and stuff,
and then they had to enforce all of those standards for decade upon decade
upon decade against students and staff, and all this all in anticipation of this
one moment where they could pounce, They could seize and get Claudine Gay to
resign. I would point out, three weeks after what's her face McGill at
u Penn had to resign. She was forced out, and she didn't even
plagiarize anything that we know of at this point. Yeah, I haven't seen
Yeah, well yeah getting the pass though she gets a pass. I don't
know why. Why do you think that is it? Because MIT is more
like the hard sciences kind of a thing. I don't know. Yeah,
I honestly I have no idea. But I've seen some crazy you know,
like the campus news. Am I tease, no slouch man. They got
people screaming lecture halls and gluing themselves to stuff. But I found generally those
are probably not students because you know, am I t students are busy.
I also was not aware that that the scalping was done by the white people,
the white colonists, against the Native American people's. I was not aware
of that until the Age told us that in the same story. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, Chris Rufo said, oh scalped and the ap dare I
say, pounced or seized on that tweet and they pointed out they gave us
all the history lesson that it was the white colonists who were scalping Native Americans,
which, of course, yeah, did not you know that happened?
You know that history? If you if you when you take the your your
history class in high school in Wyoming instead of core focusing on like civil Civil
War things like that. Western history is a thing, and I had a
growing up, I had a huge fascination with obviously the settling of the West,
the tribes. I could name almost all the tribes in that region and
tell you something about them. And because I find this stuff fascinating. Yeah,
and obviously we have a rich history, uh not just within my family
has been there for since it was settled out in that area, but also
you know Jim Gashl Museum and others. So I thought I had access to
all of this information. I had it totally wrong, man, way off.
Yeah, I feel dumb right, Well now, well maybe not,
because they did come back, right, they came back and they they clarified,
they stealth edited their peace, uh to note that they then said they
tacked on the phrase that the white colonist who sought to eradicate Native Americans,
and then they tacked on and also used by some tra ribes against their enemies.
So they get the they get the soft pedaling some tribes hashtag not all
tribes, right, but apparently all the white colonists, the white colonists,
they didn't get any of that. Some white colonists who sought to eradicate Native
Americans. I guess all by colonists did the scalping, but some Native Americans.
This is dum This is what's so dumb, Like, you don't have
to make up horrible stuff that you know, white settler Western settlers did and
specifically the government like battle a dull knife, which was retaliation for little big
hornets monstrous. Yeah, yeah, this thing went through. The Scariest thing
is that this was first off, written by people who are supposedly going to
inform us, right, they're supposed to be informing us of truth of facts.
But not only that it went through I would like to believe that it
went through editing, It went through copy editors like somebody else a child.
Yeah, I want to believe. I want to lastly, let me just
add this lastly, but it all you know, really this surrounds Harvard and
that is the home of revisionist history. Right, They've got a whole curriculum
with sixteen nineteen, so may as well change this up as well. All
right, appreciate it, Pete. You have yourself a good one. I
didn't even get into the New Year's stuff. But we'll talk next week,
sir. Have a good one, all right, man, Yeah, sure,
have a great weekend. It's one on six one FM talking the triangles
and he was talking ninety four five w PTI and the Tryad. All right,
good morning everybody. If he was eight thirty six, I got you
guys ready for a big pile of stupid because I got you covered. Well,
they're not upside oh they had all right, they were gonna be upside
down. So what is the movie or the lower coaster is d C.
It's d C comics theme, so no Batman and Superman all that stuff.
The coaster which is in it's in Australia on the Gold Coast up by Brisbane,
and it's it's called the Hype. It's the DC Rivals hyper Coaster.
It's one of the biggest coasters, I guess the biggest in Australia. It's
one of the biggest in the world. So anyway, around three o'clock local
time yesterday, they were they were climbing up the you know you start the
coaster to get up, and then they went through the first volley and then
there was another climb to the big tall and just before they crested the top,
the coaster screeched to a halt. The safety mechanisms were triggered because some
douchebag was on there with a giant flowing scarf which got sucked into the wheels
and so it stopped, which is good because it probably would have strangled dude,
right, I have to assume if you wouldn't have been able to get
that off. But who's getting on a roller coaster with a Chris you know,
a big old flowy Christmas scarf? What the hell? Is wrong with
you. I'm really surprised actually that whoever's loading the coasters wasn't like, uh
yeah, no, no, you can't get on with your big long scarf.
The scarf became entangled around the wheel. Safety mechanism sensed it, so,
you know, did what it was supposed to do. Unfortunately, though,
to evacuate, each passenger was given a harness and they had to be
partially lifted and then had to walk down to the load station. Nobody was
hurt. Here we go. Warner Brothers Movie World released a statement saying that
the highly trained ride operators spotted the hat. Well obviously they didn't. I
mean they did eventually even they're like, eye, why isn't that thing going?
Oh okay? But you know, whoever had the scarf got on,
I guess they're not in trouble. Oh stupid is not a crime there,
all right. So that's number one. Number two. I forgot to mention
this when we got back, but because it happened when we were on break.
It happened right around Christmas, I think like two days before. Some
dude walked into a bass Pro shop in Florida. And if you ever been
in bass Pro or if you be for Cabella's. Cabella's does this too.
They got they you have the fish in there, right. Each each store
has has their fish tanks. They're kind of cool a little bit, you
know, if you're a visitor something to go look at. Cabella's has their
older mounts. Bass Pro has some as well. You know. I always
thought it was a cool aspect there. Kids kids dig it, man,
right, and then you know, if you can get the kids in there,
they're happy looking at fish and you're buying all the cool stuff because that's
where they saw cool stuff. But this went a little different. A man
rolled in and grabbed a fifty pound tarpin and just strolled out of there.
Just like we've thought about how many of you have been in bass Pro or
like or Cabella's. You're with your buddies, You're like, man, leave
this. You know had some biggin's, the one the Cabella's that I used
to go to, and I lived to Wyoming. You had to go into
South Dakota or Nebraska. But the one right there in Nebraska they had they
had this special exhibit with these other trout too, and I'm like, those
would be an amazing mount right. So the devil on your shoulder says that,
but you don't do it, you know, you don't actually do it,
man, But that's what this dude did on video grabs this which is
not even a good eating really, it's just like, yeah, that's my
fish. Now. State officials say they took it seriously, as the fish
he took is legally protected. The whole thing is crazy because like nobody can
figure out quite what's going on just with the dudes holding a giant, flailing
fish, the fifty pounds silver King. Initially, well, he stole two
things. He stole a big net, which is how he got the fish,
and then the fish and then ran out with it still flopping around in
the net. I don't know they caught that dude. The reason I'm bringing
it up is the story today. All right, here we go. A
man is in custody and en route to a hospital for a mental health treatment
after police say he walked into a bass pro shop in uh there's his leads,
Alabama, stripped naked and then decided, hey, you know what would
be fun if I turned this fish tank into my own private high dive slash
swimming pool. The forty two year old reported acting was reporting to be acting
A radically drove a vehicle into a pole in the parking lot, got out
of the vehicle, walked into the bass pro, took all the clothes off,
ran passed. I guess he did it just before he walked in,
ran past security. Must they have the lay of the land, because he
was able to get to an elevated position and swan dive into the aquarium.
The problem is it is not that deep, okay, right, So you
diving in there like some Olympic athlete. Because they have the stair you have
to know what's up. So where they have the swim around open pond for
the fish yard, there's a walkway at many of the bass pros. It's
like a bridge over it. So he climbed stairs. You're looking, you
know, a little observation. He could look down and then you there's stairs
on the other side and you walk over it, and then generally you have
like the second story stuff. So it's not a small distance and he's just
like screw it. Recording to US officials at the story, was shouting something
at security before he climbed over the side of the aquarium, dropped to the
concrete floor, so he dove in. That's not what knocked him out.
He climbed it again and then missed and then dove onto the floor, and
that knocked him out. I thought this was America? Right? Is this
America? I thought this was America? The yeah, the possibility to deal
with a little mental health issue, like I understand. I can't believe he
chose there and not the BUCkies. There's a bucket of leads because we passed.
Both were like, which one are going to pass? So we went
with BUCkies. Well what they don't have a They don't have a diving opportunity
at BUCkies. So much going on there. That's the first thing I've ever
been to a BUCkies. And good lord, did you try the barbecue there?
You did? We need to have one of those right here, like
we while they're trying, they keep trying the moon bats. You're upset initially
over by Chapel Hill, and now of course they are alimance and the folks
around Meban don't want it because it's like the most American gas station you could
ever have it. I'm all for it. Like pumps you got four or
five hundred? Oh yeah, well that was that was kind of the beef
that they had over in Orange County, like it's all this good. We
don't want new gas pumps in there. And so they're like, fine,
we go to Alamance where sanity might ensue and I don't know where it's gonna
go, but uh, maybe how about instead of BUCkies, I get you
the Obama Would that? Would that work for you? You want me to
open that maybe a capital near your house? No, but it's but it's
a it's a gas station. That's what you're asking for, right, So
can used? All right? So the moral of the story, one,
don't steal fish from bass Pro Shop. Two, don't also go to bass
pro Get to the elevated area above the aquarium, strip naked and swan dive
into shallow water. You'll knock yourself out. Okay, all right, news
you can use and we'll throw some weather on top of that with Jeffino.
He's joining us. Yeah. Man, everybody's going nuts at the bass Pro
Shop. That's not good to hear. Did you see the video of the
dude just walk in and steal a fish over Christmas? No? Have you
you've been to a bass pro right or Capella's or the other fish tanks there.
Yeah, he just rolls in, gets a big old net, grabs
a fifty pound fish in the net. It just walks out like a koi
or something like that. Or no, no, no, no, this
is a game fish. They have all these game fish, which is why
he's in more trouble because they're protected. Yeah, so that over Christmas,
and then yesterday naked dude went in and decided it's his personal high dive in
swimming pool. So goes on all the time in Vegas and the Bellagio fountains,
So why not bring it east? You know? That's yeah, yeah,
like that's almost socially acceptable, you know what I'm saying, because that's
just idiots being idiots in Vegas, that's true. Yeah, Like you know,
I'm just trying to get some some fishing line and some dude splashing me
like it's a log flume. I have a problem with that. So I
can see definitely. All right, let's all right, Yeah, the weekend
squared away, what's going on? Yeah, you wouldn't really know that there's
winter weather advisories out there with the way it looks right now, lots of
sunshine, it's obviously cold, and we're only going to go up to forty
six today and we'll see sunshine, but then tonight chances for rain and freezing
rain late overnight low to around thirty. It looks like all rain for Saturday,
and well maybe the potential for some of the freezing rain to mix in
early on, but we are headed up Saturday to the right at fifty degrees
for the afternoon high, and then we're sunny on Sunday. Now, those
winter weather advisories on the line pretty much from a person all the way down
to the Randolph County area and then just going west all the way towards Greensboro,
and then also some winter storm mornings mixed in for the higher potential for
the ice. But again it's gonna be tonight into Saturday, and then we're
back to the sunshine Sunday and it's all a memory again. Sunday, we'll
get up to fifty five for the high. Okay, all right, I
appreciate it. Have a good weekend. Is Reagan is gonna grace us Monday
or I hadn't looked at the schedule. I'm gonna go with my gut and
say no. But I'm not sure. I'm not sure. If he is
or not. I think he actually may be back for Monday. Yeah,
all right, well we'll talk to you or him or whomever. Then.
I have a good weekend, sir, do the same. Thank you,
all right, and Jeff Bellinger joins us. Next, Hang on smart Talk
all day ninety four to five WPTI in the Triad and one six one f
M Talk in the Triangle. All right, Good morning, eight to fifty
three Lumberg up day now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening? Good
morning, Casey, Happy Friday. We got a stronger than expected employment report
from Washington this morning. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says two hundred and sixteen
thousand workers were added to payrolls in December and the nation's unemployment rate held at
three point seven percent. Average hourly earnings went up on a year over year
basis. They were up four point one percent from December of twenty twenty two.
Stock market futures had a knee jerk reaction. They moved lower right after
that report was released. Now they're back to about where they were before the
report came out. S and P futures down ten ASDAK futures down forty five
and the now futures down seventy four points. There are fears now on Wall
Street that the strength and the job market's going to delay the start of interest
rate by the Federal Reserve. Many of us did at least some of our
holiday shopping on the internet. Business boomed at Amazon dot Com, the package
tracker roots as Amazon got twenty one percent of all online orders during the week
of Thanksgiving and Black Friday. That jump to twenty nine percent of global order
volume in the two weeks before Christmas and PepsiCo. Casey is on the outs
with one of the world's biggest supermarket chains, car four, has pulled the
company's soft drinks and snack products off store Shells and France and other nations to
protest what it says are unacceptable price increases. Notes have been placed on empty
Shells and car four stores to explain that move to consumers. Casey, all
right, I do appreciate it. Have a good weekend and we'll see you
Monday. Okay, enjoy your weekend. Yes, talk to you monday.
Take care. All right, there you go. Jeff Ellinger, Bloomberg News,
all right, I gotta bring this off. The thing on the air,
I get. I remember as a kid we had there were a couple
places where we'd drive a lot, and one was either go to Billings to
do shopping. It was to go to Casper to do shopping or anything.
And when we were kids, those trips carried with it a promise, and
that was that there was going to be In both cases, there were specific
places where we stopped. If we went to Casper, we went to the
mini golf by the mall and we would eat there. And if we went
to Billings, we'd go to Fudruckers and then they had like an adventure park
thing, and so I mean that was the agreement for that road trip.
I guess as long as we're on good behavior. So like, I get
it. But do you think people will fundamentally change tradition over a gas station
versus I do? You can tell just by by seeing people there. We
always stopped at Pedro's. Pedros is where you would stop. Lincoln had to
stop at Pedro's. And when you suld drive down ninety five or up ninety
five right, you would see every other billboard'd be Pedros, Pagros and now
it's BUCkies, Pedros, BUCkies Pedros, and the Pedro signs looked like they
were put up after World War One. They're old, they're gross, they're
falling apart, literally, they're falling apart. The BUCkies ones are are shiny
and bright and new. And I can tell you that when you when you
drive past Paedros, there's maybe one or two cars there, maybe going to
the hat shop or going to the bathroom where you might catch a disease or
hepatitis or something or get shot. And then it's then, well is it
really I've been able to physically been into Pedros. I've only seen it.
I have no reason to stop there. No if you walk into the bathroom
there, because we've stopped. We used to, like I said, we
stopped there all the time. You're like, I don't know about this.
I'm taking a chance you and and like I said, a few cars there
we stopped. We had to because Lincoln had to stop at BUCkies. We
had to stop there. We stopped at the one Florence, and we went
to the one in Leeds, Alabama. We went to both. Every time
we passed the sign, you get super excited. And this is the first
time I had ever seen though, No, this is the first time that
I had seen a BUCkies and we pull in and I'm like gas pumps for
days. And the place, the bank they have to be making there are
so many people there. You walk in, you think you're at like,
uh, main Street, Disneyland, disney World is packed shoulder Yeah, complete
zoo. The amount of money they're making. We dropped one hundred and fifty
bucks at the one in Leeds shirts and by the way, no gas.
Just like all the stuff inside it, t shirts, inflatables, all this
stuff. I mean the amount, it's it's I listen, if I'm the
owner of Pedros and you've had a monopoly in the area for so long and
suddenly you you find out that they're building the BUCkies, they had to be
like no, like please, no, They're getting crushed, absolutely destroyed.
I is it the newness of it? I don't know, but I know
how it is too right. It's like if you as a family have to
pick that one spot through your stop off. There's a lot of people who
Pedros was it. So if they make that switch to Bite, yeah,
that's not good news for them. I didn't realize Pedros was a little sketch
in the bathrooms. Though I sold, I didn't stop, so all right.
At least you got all the BUCkies merch. On that note, have
yourself a wonderful weekend. Don't get naked and dive into fish tanks at retail
establishments. So we'll see you Monday
