All right. Now, I was pointing out the uh, this uh,
the honorifics and this story obviously with the school board member, and then the
story we're sitting there and we're seeing with the DEI directors, and I got
a feeling now many of these groups, and especially the you know, the
Christopher Rufo types, are probably going through and checking everybody's thesises and doctorates and
all the rest of that stuff. And it could be interesting. And again,
if they want to do all of them, I'm here for that.
But yeah, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta be a little nervous
you've been lying about one of those. It's kind of it's it's like its
own little version of the the uh, you know, the kind of the
Hollywood Meet Too stuff. Man, That's what's so crazy there, right,
You're just sitting around waiting like who was I know that the impetus was Harvey
Weinstein, but you know you had who is the nick Loadian dude? Man?
The stuff that came out on that dude, holy crap man, and
a few others. So if you're you're sitting there at one of our illustrious,
major, internationally recognized universities and and you don't have the titles like,
I don't know how that works too, by the way, I muss,
I just assume that people when you get hired somewhere they verify that. Or
if I been like missing out on some serious gigs. Because if that's the
case, yeah, that's twenty years wasted. Man. I have this whole
time I could have been, could have been a CEO or operating on you
or defending you in court, and I didn't know, man, But now
we gotta protect. Like I said, I don't have any honorifics, so
it's not really here Ross your titles. That's not gonna be a problem.
If the company gets in there starts checking them, sees what's up. I
want to make sure, like his right, Honorable Commander of the Realm.
Lord I can't remember what all your titles were before you change it on your
Twitter. We're gonna be good to go, right, that's never gonna come
up. You're talking about sir, Lord General Ross, the Great Commander of
the Realm, Admiral of Fleek, No is it Admiral of Fleek command or
I can't remember what esquire. All of those are legit, right, I
can have any problems or are we going to have some problems. That's what
I'm talking about. And that's a little evaluation that a lot of people are
having to figure out right now. So yeah, it's gonna be interesting to
watch a little let it burn. But hey, that's how we uh,
that's how we roll around here, all right. Let me let me kick
over into something else here is there we go, So give you just a
little bit of a rundown. And oh, by the way, and I
actually I literally sent a message to one of our listeners who is a known
patriot sympathizer. I say it kind of the way that we used to say
commies. I saw a Robert Kraft story yesterday and I didn't hate him.
I saw a Robert Kraft story yesterday, and I didn't hate the dude,
right, I know. In fact, let me just let me just get
into this, I could real quick. So, uh, this is the
I guess, the intersection of sports and pops and everything that's going on right
now. Robert Kraft yesterday announced that he will no longer provide funding to Columbia
University. He gave a crap ton of money. I'm assuming he went.
I guess I never looked to see. I just know he gave him a
bunch of money. But and he said that he will no longer provide money
to the school. And tell, let's see, tell the school quote can
protect its students amid extreme anti semitism from pro Palestinian groups. In a message
posted the owner of the Patriots says, the school I love so much.
Yeah, here we go, the one that welcoming provided me with so much
opportunity is no longer the institution. I recognize. It's my hope columbing its
leadership. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but basically said you
all are insane, and he's not wrong. Yesterday there was an incident where
you have a professor I think he's a business professor, and he's a Jewish
business professor, and he was trying to move about the campus and being a
big big shot professor there. He has FOB access just like you have I
have if we work in any controlled environment. And so he's got his cards
so we can scan in and out of campus buildings. I guess various areas
and he tried to enter I guess the quad or the middle area where the
camp has been set up. Oh, yeah, yeah, this is then
just gets absurd, and his key cards wouldn't work, and the university informed
him that they literally disconnected or restricted his access to parts of the campus,
specifically parts where it may put he in the presence of protesters. So if
he wants to be able to move around campus, they will literally like escort
him. I guess. I don't know if it's through a separate entrance or
something, but they're going to take him to a very specific area of campus
and he is not allowed to access the other areas. Now, is this
guy there just to teach? No, he is. He is a giant
moonbat himself. We probably don't agree on about any policy issues. And when
he wasn't teaching, he was out there mixing it up with the protesters as
a counter protester, you know. Just it wasn't physical, wasn't anything like
that, just out there and I guess chanting in the other direction. And
Columbia decided that they were going to restrict the access for professor to do that,
and instead any professors who I guess would run a foul would get moved
through campus in a different way so they didn't have to actually interact with pro
it's crazy, man, because supposedly, if you're inside the gate, now
you have a legit reason for being there. And that's why students who want
to protest, you know, live on campus. They still have access there.
But a professor teaches there who may also have something to say, he
now has limited access, and a collective of folks from the of his colleagues,
a whole bunch of them, decided to following the removal of some of
the more not mostly peaceful protesters by police, they decided to stage a walkout
yesterday over the decision by the university to actually go hey, we got protests
here saying hey, here's some Jews to kill. We have other protesters who
may have used the poll of a flag to try to take a chick's eide
out. We'll go ahead and handle that. That is what is being protested.
And now some of you have encouraged me, why are you talking about
it? Let him eat their own, to which I'd say, no,
no, don't get me wrong, I'm here for stuff like that. And
I recognize that this professor, if it wasn't on this one issue, this
guy is, he's in favor of all the stuff that sucks in my political
opinion. You know what, you couldn't just you couldn't just take it and
say thank you and move along, could you? Could you? I just
did this story about Robert Kraft. He's not alone, by the way,
Leon Cooperman, he's a billionaire investor. Dude, there's another guy the last
time around. There's a handful of these really really rich dudes who you know,
you walk around university, there's usually two or three uber rich at the
big university's probably more at the ivy leagues who just funnel money back. It's
why the endowment at places like Harvard could literally fund students into perpetuity. They
literally they could keep operating, never have to just on the the yield of
that endowment or not endowment. What am I I'm using the wrong worry,
But basically they got you know, they got ten to sixty some billion cooling
in the bank. That's a lot of a lot of income you could receive
off that they would never have to charge again. So this is like,
this is what you're dealing with. But when that's bigot close, people get
crazy. And so that's why I pointed this stuff out and the yeah,
here's the other one. Len Blovotnik. I couldn't remember his name who was
also speaking out, So yeah, I did throw it out there, and
then our Patriots fan listener sends me this really impressed you spent five seconds on
Kraft. Just wanted to check and see if you guys need a safe space.
Do you have any PTSD. I can bring my therapy dog to the
studio. Well it just take your w what is wrong with you? You
know what? Ross, I was just thinking about this. I am so
impressed with Robert Craft's decision. I think we should get him a little gift
basket or something. So you know what people like. Do you like gift
cards? When people give you gift cards? I like gift cards. A
big fan of gift cards. So can you see if we can get some
gift cards for that massage place in Miami? He likes fifty dollars cards,
probably be fine, I believe was the number they quoted. So maybe one
or two of those maybe an edible arrangement. Send that out? Okay,
all right, so we'll take care of that, sir. See you should
have just left it, should have just left it. But I you know,
honestly, when I saw the sheer volume of professors that were still willing
to essentially walk off the job yesterday over the removal of people who were holding
signs saying, hey Hamas, here's some Jews to kill next. That's I
don't know. You can't fix that. I don't know how you fix that.
I mean, it's Columbia's problem, don't get me wrong, but it's
also a problem that permeates not just you know, some of the upper level
private universities like the Columbias and the Dukes and various other havas, but also
the state schools. And remember, this is something that continues to grow.
I was looking at a list yesterday where they're trying to set up once again
autonomous zones, which is what's happening at Yale, which is what was happening
at Columbia and still kind of is. And it just goes on from there.
You see, yesterday was making the rounds that old u SNL skip from,
like I want to see maybe ten ten years ago with yeah, daughter,
he drops the girl off and it looks like his daughter. It looks
like he's dropping her off at college. But it's like with isis Yeah,
it's like they predicted the future it's the Simpsons. It's like these schools now
they have pro Hamas encampments. It's just what what my question is? And
I mean this honestly cause I mentioned this briefly on the show. But the
speed of which, uh, what what are we going to do in North
Carolina? If this happens, how's it going to be handled? And look,
we deal with we deal with universities that are state schools. We deal
with big notable universities like wake Forest and uh and various others. Not trying
to leave anybody out, but like what NC State, Carolina, Duke wake
Forest elon a high point? Will you and everyone? I'm leaving out the
uh uh the historical black colleges too, But which is weird? How come
you not? Why is there not one up at the at Howard up in
d C hmhmm? Like are are what? What? What are you guys
gonna do? I mean, to some extent, what what Duke does in
wake Forest does is within the realm of their own decision making. But what
about what about NC State or Carolina? Are we just gonna We're gonna set
up these these pro pro Hamas little villages. By the way, what we
got to come up with a name for him, because I mean, it's
too long to say it that way. I just don't know what I want
to call them. I have seen people call the the pro Homas protesters Hamassels,
and I think that's great, and I can say it on the radio.
So because it sounds bad, because it is bad, but it's technically
not bad. So but also I think it fits. And let me let
me be clear here, just as the President of the United States was yesterday,
not everyone is there for violent purposes. But once the overwhelming purpose of
you know, what would appease the protesters starts to include things that you're not
okay with, it's really important that you separate yourself. Right, So if
you show up, if you show up to a pro Second Amendment rally,
okay, let me let me flip the script here. And I think this
is what some of these students are going to learn the really hard way here.
If you show up to a pro Second Amendment raw and you're like,
yeah, all right. You know gun grabbers out here trying to do with
making ammunition the million dollars, right, you can't do that. They's Supreme
Court precedent on it. That's not how that works. Fine, and then
you get there and they're like, and all, we should give all the
babies guns, and you're like, like, I'm the Second Amendment, but
also I don't think we should forcibly conscript babies and give them guns. So
I'm not on board with that if that becomes the sticking point in what they
demand for, you know, appeasement. You don't't be standing next to a
baby gun person. And I know that's a fantastical example, but it's it's
kind of what you're running into here. So if you want to go down
and you think it's hip to hold your divest whatever, blah blah blah,
I can't remember the stupid Uh, I don't care, and that's your beef.
I can just sit there and go all right, well, you're just
being dumb because what we're talking about are these big index funds which include a
bunch of stuff, and it's just stop being dumb. Go to class.
And then the people around you seem more interested, are less interested in the
I guess, the investment pattern of their university, and more in the condemnation
and eradication of their either political enemies, religious enemies, or whatever. You
probably want to go not stand over there anymore, because now your picture's out
there and now you're internship at Goldman Sachs is imperiled. So dumb. But
Joe Biden had a hot take on it, and I want you to listen
not just to his hot take, but also well here, hold on,
here it is. And I'll clarify that I submitted protests on college campuses.
I condemn some of the protests. That's why I've set up I told them
to deal with that. I also condemn those who don't understand what's going on
with the Polystinians. Dread the Columbia University president resigned. I didn't know that.
I'll find out. Okay, there's there's a couple of things going on
here. So the last part is the second. You know, the follow
up question, should the Columbia president resign? And he said, I he,
I don't. He obviously didn't hear the question or didn't understand it or
what I didn't know that. No, no, no, I'm asking should
she didn't resign? So I don't know if he for a moment thought that
that she I understand why he would think she'd resign. She's duns. Don't
believe me. Let's uh, let's jump in the way back machine. Here
is the president of Columbia. This is around two thousand and one. Columbia's
in New York. This is December two thousand, Ross, December two thousand
and one, New York City. You think there be any big stories still
permeating the news cycle? I believe. So yeah, okay, all right,
Ross believes, So let's check his work. So it's not. You'll
always have individuals who will have extreme views. But what's really troubling in the
region is that there's actually quite a broad base of society which has some sympathy
for the terrorists. Not so much because they approve of their methods, but
it's a form of protesting against a system which is not delivering for them on
the economic or the political front. And I want to be clear here,
because I saw people who were going in there, like what she's saying is
that's how those individuals interpret it. She's not, But it's not. It's
not. That's not what she said. She literally recognized that it is a
form of protests. That is my opinion on it. And if you want
that's the crux of it. If you listen to the bigger thing. She
is very sympathetic to that. And there's other statements from over over the years
in in you know, when the match, remember the mattress incident, all
of that where it shows that it does that was the girl who said she
was sexually assaultant, was running around carrying a mattress to class. And boy,
that whole thing got weird. And by the way, that whole thing
and and her story, as you know, receipts started to flying forward changed
phenomenally and she like doubled and tripled down on that. So yeah, but
also private entity, you know, you get what you get, you get
what you pay for, and in this case, you decided to make a
crazy ahead of your program. But the first part of what Joe Biden said
after dispensing with that, that's what I find really interesting. Here it is
once again and then I submitted protests on college campuses. I condemn some of
the protests. That's why I've set up I told gram to deal with that.
I also condemn those who don't understand what's going on with the Polystenians.
Now, it would sound to me like it's a reverse approach to point out
there's bad people on both sides, which would then mean if you're pointing that
out, then there would be good people on both sides. Am I misinterpreting
what he's laying down, because I don't think I am. And I found
a certain amount of irony listening to that insanity yesterday. All right eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four you want to be on the show
that that's how you make it happen. Oh yeah, we gotta get this
Gavin Newsome insanity. I tried to ignore this thing, but it's not going
away. And dude, I'm telling you, the stuff you women go through
to be I shouldn't even say be beautiful or any of that, because that's
just that's like a a trope, that's a stereotype. It's a joke.
This is next level insane new treatment that apparently some folks are opting for.
And I have so many questions, none of which I can really ask on
the air, but I'll share them for you and we'll update you on the
Trump trial. So lots to get to six forty eight, hang on,
all right, I got so many We got some rollover stuff too real to
get into. There. There is a very tragic, very sad story of
a teenage girl thirteen who was found dead near in an apartment near North Hills,
actually North Hills apartment specifically, but that's off lead mines, I guess
closer towards them all over there at thirteen, and there's a lot we don't
know. We do know obviously the parents are devastated. I understand that it
was not their apartment. The thirteen year old was found dead at two thirty
in the morning, early Monday morning, so you know, like twenty eight
hours ago or something. The whole story is interesting in what we don't know,
what we do know, and the way that they structured it. And
that's I guess why we're talking about it, because I've seen this pattern in
several stories. So you have this, you have a thirteen year old.
The apartment, by the way, let's see here. I think the apartment
in question is not is I guess is where people are going and partying or
something. It's a little unclear. Please they have not released details of it.
There's some speculation there is it Seemingly there's a pattern of behavior where members
of the family or those around are able to start to put together why she
may have been at that apartment at two thirty or you know before that on
a Sunday night, and that's fine, and we should go and you know
you shoul follow this story. But here's where it gets weird, and it
only takes the third paragraph. So let me let me get into this.
Please. Investigating after officers found a thirteen year old early Monday morning in a
Raleigh apartment. It was the apartments the Trails of North Hills. On arrival,
they found a young girl already dead with injuries from a gunshot. A
representative for the family says the victim was an eighth grader and describe the apartment
as quote a party house, saying that she did not live at the apartment
where she was found dead, rather lived in Southeast Raleigh. Okay, so
is that this apartment? It's unclear it was there because she wanted to was
taken there? Right, We don't know all of this stuff, and I'm
willing to wait as police look into this and the family begins the process of
grieving regardless of anything that may because when we get into any of these stories,
I don't care how dysfunctional short of them literally physically doing it. Susan
Smith looking at you. I the way that people are going to agrieve for
a family member. Even if there's somebody who decided they were going to pull
the gun of Rambo on sixty cops and now we're having protests, I'm still
sympathetic to the family because we all have family members that don't make good decisions.
But you'd still be sad if something happened to them. It's just natural
human emotion. I was just watching a video. Don't worry, we're going
to get back into this tragic story of this thirteen year old. But let
me just because it's fresh in my brain. I just watched a video of
the what do you call the is it governor? Do they use governor if
if you are head of one of the divisions of Australia. I don't know
what the title. Ross, do you know what the title is? Wait?
Hold on, let me look this up. Uh all right, somebody
I read it says it's wombat. I'll go with that. I think that's
right. Ross. That sounds right. Instead of governor, they use wombat
down there down Unda. All right, So the Wombat of Tasmania, this
this horrible woman sitting there and calling for the jailing of Elon Musk because he
won't censor people on Twitter. Couple that with Brazil and everything else, and
is this where we're headed. Brazil's Brazil, right, there's you know,
South America has an interesting history when you get into totalitarian stuff. So yeah,
that could be fair. You're Australia, you're Tasmania, if people you
know, is Tasmania real? I've been to Australia, didn't go to Tasmania.
Don't know if it exists. Right, that's the stuff people say about
you on the internet. I get why. Here's what I know. Here's
what I know about Tasmania. One car uh, you know, the the
Tasmanian Devil. I believe is your greatest entertainment export. Oh and no,
no, I was saying, I was gonna say lord, but I think
she's from New Zealand. So I always wanted to go. It looked pretty
cool. And I remember that one time you guys hired William Willem Dafoe to
come murder Your Last Tiger, which is a pretty good movie. If you
haven't seen The Hunter, I think that's a pretty good movie. You should
watch that. That's it. That's oh, and I do know that the
entire continent of Australia as well, and specifically we'll get into the Tasmanian side,
was the founding and the build up of the country was not one that
was pilgrims per se. Right, some of it was some people did go
there, but it was also where you sent people within the British realm that
you didn't want, and Tasmania had a lot of Irish sent there kind of
super focused on that. And that's it. That's that's what I know.
And now I also know that you're essentially a totalitarian dictator ideologically, do you
want to jail the dude on social media for not not handling your takedown requests
on social media? And and to to this point, Elon Musk did point
out that the requests, some of which were having to do with things that
are things that they take things down for, had actually been honored, meaning
like stuff that is literally criminal and even criminal within other country standards. To
some extent, X does honor, but they're also rejecting things like people who
are not fans of the president said that they didn't like the color of his
next tie, right, and in some country somewhere that is illegal probably in
a lot of countries criticizing the leader and that's things they're not gonna on.
Or and this knee jerk reaction from the idiots down in Brazil or the or
the you know, even this lady down in Tasmania and some of the Davos
crowd who've commented on this, who they have decided that Elon Musk is is
this giant threat that they all have to you know a few years you know,
he used to go to Davos. This is the crazy thing. Like
when Elon Musk went to Davos, these idiots would fawn over him, and
then he decided, hey, we have this platform and you're not going to
be able to manipulate who can or can't say things. And now they want
to throw them in a goulag. Man, It's just this is crazy,
and I would understand it if you're dealing with the eight star general from and
then insert you know your favorite military run hell hole. Well justified, but
I understand where it's coming from. But you're the five When I see five
eye, do you know what the five eye countries are? Okay, so
the five Eyes refers to five countries that share intelligence. Right, This is
adaptive. This is an adaptive agreement, but it also it's a collective of
the countries that basically exist in the way that they exist with the people that
are there based on the expansion of the English Empire. Right, So you
know, UK, Canada, Australia, America, what's the I'm leading one.
I was at Ireland. No, what's the other one? Well,
but my point is they're the one also that seemed to be most closely associated
with the way that we do business, and every day they're pulling further and
further away from what their people are allowed to do with where they're allowed to
go, memes, they're allowed to post on the internet, and you know,
we resist here. But there's a bunch of people who absolutely believe with
the Wombat of Tasmania again, I believe that to be the official title.
I'm unclear, but I'm also not going to look it up. Is wanting
to do. And so when you hear it from that crowd, it's much
more disturbing in my opinion than you know, that eight star general. Oh
no, I'm sorry, I just got a ninth start, that nine star
general that runs hell Holistan. Okay, because I expect him to say that.
I expect the North Korea got to wig out over stuff. But yeah,
if you storm the beaches of Normandy with us, can you can you
not? Can you? Can? You? Just? Can you be?
What was it you said yesterday O the show Roscal, Why can't you just
be normal? I think that is a great take for damn near everybody I'm
running across the news these days. Why can't you be normal? What is
so pressing in Tasmania that you have to threaten to jail this individual because somebody
was able to communicate things you don't like in an open manner on a platform
that you don't have to participate in. You don't have to have an account.
She has an account. You don't have to have an account. Absolutely
crazy man. All right, let me flip back over to this. So
I'm reading this story, very very tragic story, and normally these are not
even stories that I'm gonna do right away because I tend to let's, you
know, let's figure out what happened here, and I you know, I
don't need to be out here, just create, you know, choose your
own adventuring something. But if others can't wait, I'm gonna call it out,
okay, because I smell what I believe this is, in my opinion,
is what is attempting to be implied here, And I'm not I'm not
I'm not okay with it. So a thirteen year old girl found dead two
thirty in the morning Monday morning, Raleigh apartment, gunshot wound. The apartment
not where she lives. She lived in southeast Raleigh, this apartment off North
Hills Drive. The house described as a quote party house. So you ask
yourself, why is it thirteen year old at a party house at o dark
thirty in the morning. Well, here's where where this story, which is
the reporting? Those are the details, right, those are the details we
know should have ended continued because a representative for the girls family, advocate Kim
muktarian with save our Sons, all right, if you don't know the Save
our Sons, uh, this is the group. It largely spawned from a
couple high profile officer involved shootings of individuals like and you know that that guy
who decided he would would run up to a fence and turn around and pull
a gun on a Raleigh police officer who got shot and uh, and and
various others and so in the time I have been digesting their activism, excuse
me, advocacy, I feel as though, while I understand the larger issue
of of individuals, whomever they may be within a communityity wanting to feel that
their kids are going to be safer, that's it's one hundred percent. That's
that's uh, you know, maternal instinct. I get it, it doesn't
I don't feel that they've been an honest broker of why there's a problem.
And then this is weird because this is there's no officer involved stuff here.
But then I realize there is kind of a political take that I think some
people are going to feel as being implied here. According to Muctarian, I
don't know how to pronounce this. I'm sorry quote I think referring to the
family, I think they're devastated. I think they're confused and hurt. No
mother wants to hear this, Yes, no mother wants to hear that their
child, this young could be the victim of gun violence. Yes, that's
true. I agree wholeheartedly. According to Mucktarryan, the young girl had a
previous suspension at school, and so the family had been to the courts to
file paperwork, but it's unclear what the suspension of court filings were regarding,
and but Terran didn't offer any context. All right, so it's just a
little thing. But it's not just a little thing because and I hope this
is not where we're headed with this. It's there are advocates activists on the
left who, as you well know, are hugely critical of schools who would
suspend students, or as the lawsuits and the William Barber insanity from years ago
where he kind of made this a pet project for about five minutes, they
would come up with these stats. They'd be like, you know, white
students are in this particular in this school are suspended at this rate, in
black students at this rate. Therefore it must be racist punishing and on everyone
with a brain goes maybe or maybe there are certain things that will get you
suspended, and it happens the group B is doing more of those things.
Did we investigate whether that might be the case. So you connect the dots
here. There's no details given on any of this, but it also is
seemingly an explanation as to why a thirteen year old on what reportedly should be
a school night would find themselves at a midnight party or later or an overnight
party miles from where they live. Right, there's not a scenario where I
think any parent once there he thinks it's appropriate. There thirteen year old is
at a house party Crosstown where they have, among other things, guns.
So why would she do that? Well, she was suspended, yeah,
no, no, no, yeah, if not for if not for this
suspension, which you know, had she not been suspended, she'd been in
home, tucked in with the you know, lights off by eight thirty,
dreaming of the big day tomorrow. But since the schools suspended her, now
she's in this. She doesn't have anything to do Monday, so she goes
to a house party that eliminates all the other stuff here. And I don't
know any of that. And while I don't know what the court case is,
I don't know this. Neither does the people writing this article. I
don't know if the activist advocate for the family who's being quoted here does.
But this is pot stir and man, that's what that is. The fact.
The fact is as tragic as the situation is. If somebody if she
was suspended, and then you offered details of it and there's no context.
I feel like it's kind of irresponsible to allow that implication to be in a
news story just because somebody calls himself an advocate or an activist, who,
by the way, is prob I believe that, you know, these folks
have reporters from some of our news outlets around here on speed dial and are
doing their bidding. Yeah, because they're sympathetic to it. I mean,
look at it through the lens of all of the uh, you know,
the progressive garbage on this subject. I'm willing to entertain any theory as long
as you'll be an honest broker of the information and we can try to arrive
at it. But if this girl got suspended for something and was not to
be in school and she's a minor, it's not the school's fault that the
alternative was to go into this dangerous situation. And to some extent, she's
thirteen, So I don't one hundred percent hanging on her. Because you're thirteen,
you're not making good decisions and perhaps or other not good decisions that lead
to what is being speculated or what is being thrown out by this advocate.
But we don't know, and until you have the details. It's irresponsible to
sit there and try to parse through it. It's just insane to me until
you realize that's where it kind of plugs into the narrative that you know,
the the jail pipeline or you know, the learning laws. This is,
by the way, one of the times we're allowed to talk about learning laws.
And it's all because of the super racist disciplinary policies of schools and courts
and all the no no, no, no, no no. You know,
get to sit there and throw that out after you've been sitting there going
you know, Oh, we did some research and we found that there's more
policing on what was in Charlotte, oh on try On Road, right,
there's more police presidence on Tryon Road, and so we determined that's because there
is a higher percentage of minority residents in this particular part of town. That's
where the raising And I'm like, or I question, is that where the
crime is? And then the rebuttal will be something like, well, if
they go to the if they went and drove over to Lake Norman Drover in
those neighborhoods, they'd see the same crimes being committed that everyone's getting arrested for
down here some of them. Yeah, probably probably not the really violent ones,
but you know, probably drug possession, speeding and stuff. I agree
with you, but not the ones where six year old's gonna go thinking they're
getting a snow coning. Instead they catch a bullet. That's not usually happening.
So you haven't been an honest broker until now. So what do you
want? All Right, we'll be back hang on, everybody. It's just
been so crazy the last week and a half. Yesterday I was talking with
a buddy of mine. He goes, well, he texted me, He's
like, hey, man, what are you doing Thursday? And I'm like,
I think we're doing a radio show in the morning, maybe some spots
after that, probably sends some prep to ross later that evening. Why And
then it dawned on me that the it's the NFL Draft. Man, I've
been so distract because I usually I nerded a little on that stuff a couple
of weeks ago, but I just got distracted, and mostly because I just
didn't like what I was seeing with everything that the moves that my team's making.
But yeah, that's Thursday, so and that's it. And I'm like,
what are you doing. We're doing a draft watch party, and I'm
like, i'll get back to you. PS not going to that, but
just because it's school night issue and it's it's a ways away. But that
being said, yeah, yeah, so is there. I also understand why
there's not been a ton of discussion in uh, you know, Carolina press,
considering Panthers don't have that first overall anymore Bears have it, and I
think the the odds on favorite is they take they take the kid from USC,
which I you know, makes sense. I guess it's one of these
where there's a couple I guess you could argue are the main dudes. But
what what is what is probably uh going to happen though, is you're gonna
have like you're gonna have like six quarterbacks, maybe seven taken into I think
six is the number most agree on just in the first round, and they
expect there's gonna be some rather interesting trades for people to move around. So
I guess if you're if you like that bit of intrigue, you'll have it.
Let's see here and there is Carolina connection because right now, and I
don't know if you're following any of this, the discussion is between Caleb Williams
from USC and of course Carolinas Drake May right, and the Bears have the
first pick, and then thank you Carolina, and Washington has the second,
and apparently Caleb Williams is all butt hurt at Washington. And if you're Washington,
and you're if you're Washington and you are publicly trying to quote put the
Daniel Snyder era behind you, I feel like the next the quarterback you're gonna
draft, it's whoever's the squeakiest of squeaky clean, and that would be May
versus Williams. Although it's you know, it's one of these things where who
knows, you know, anyone could be a serial killer or a really bad
quarterback. Drafted quarterbacks is tough business man, so I don't know, but
then you start and then I then the Patriots had the third pick, and
they're expect to take the Michigan quarterback, so right off the bat, boom
boom boom oh. And then Jaydeon Daniels, who's LSU's quarterback. Their Cardinals
have the pick, but it's a they think that there's a trade there,
but it hasn't happened yet, and so you would have four quarterbacks right away.
Ross everything I've seen, you guys are going wide receiver. You think
that's a good move for the Bills program. Yeah, I think after Diggs
left, yes, yeah, yeah, And that's partially your positioning in the
draft as a result of Diggs leaving. And you got a couple of really
good guys right in that in that general vicinity. Let's see here right past
it. The one I'm sorry I put this over in my other list,
the one that I've seen most people predicting you take is Brian Thomas from LSU.
Dudes. That dude's elite man, he is. He also is a
big guy. Yeah, he recently visited Buffalo and I think he might have
been the tallest dude there. I mean that guy for I shouldn't say it's
obviously, but like he's a big wide receiver, and you know, Diggs
wasn't a big wide receiver. But like, I don't know, I feel
like the smash mouth like Josh Allen, you know, running down obviously to
your horror, just slamming his body into people. Like there's some teams that
have been really successful where you just had a bunch of brutes running around out
there, from running back to quarterback, to blocking tight ends to you know,
all of that. So I think that I think that'd be a great
pickup for you guys, Vikings Wise. Vikings Wise, I've said, so,
there's been some speculation. Okay, so there is, you know,
we we got some quarterback needs. I don't know if you're aware of this.
As Kirk Cousins has departed to Atlanta, there are some people speculating that
the Vikings would then try to broke a deal to move up to eighth from
eleventh where they are and take Michael Phoenix Junior, the quarterback from Washington whose
last name is one letter away from that, and so you have to be
very careful when you say it. I don't know. I don't know that
I'm convinced on him anymore. Who's the other quarterback the first probably Bo Nicks.
I think they're saying denverll take. So we'll see. But if not,
Also, we need we need like secondary help badly. And there's a
couple potentials in there. My favorite named one though, is the dude from
Alabama. Listen, this guy's name, this is his actual name. You're
ready, kool aid McKinstry is a quarterback kool Aid mckids who names? All
right, well, what is that a nickname or an actual name? I
believe it's his actual name. Yeah, that is amazing? Is it?
Would you find? Would you be amazed if that was? In fact?
You if I met somebody in their name was like legally kool Aid? All
right, so his name is fascinated by that? Hold on anyone? Here
his full name? All right, here's his full here's his full name.
What quincy kool Aid mckinstrey. He just goes by the kool Aid? So
do you have to should you have to specify the flavor of kool Aid?
I mean, I don't know, but he's gonna get like a sponsorship,
right, well, this is what this is where I was gonna go with
this. And what happens if he gets drafted and immediately gets signed by Aid
is flavor aid around? Still? I don't know. That had a little
bit of a pr nightmare though they deflected it and yeah they really didn't know.
Yeah. Do you think there were some guys at Flavor eight HQ going
tell everyone it's kool aid completely? Yes? Yeah? Yeah, so the
the just I guess if you're not rubing sleep out of your eyes. You
know. One of the one of the things, the little historical nuggets that's
most often misunderstood is the actual beverage filled with poison At Jonestown. It was
not Gatorade. It was flavor aidolidid excuse me, it was Flavor eight.
Yes. Right. Everybody says drink the kool Aid, right, and they
should be saying drink the flavor Aid. Yeah. But if you're flavor aight,
look at that, right, I don't know. Maybe, but on
the flip side, you know, no, no, marketing's bad marketing,
right, So there's that. What what come on, man, we're the
markeating business. How many people just imagine that board meeting when they're a kool
aid back in the day and they're like, no, you know, what
are they doing? I'm gonna do? Oh man, well this is but
this is the danger when you jello. I saw a guy give a little
humorous speech about this. It's called the danger of Jello or something. And
it's like cleenex right right, when you when you are so successful that your
specific brand of a larger product category becomes the name of the product category you
made it baby, Kleenex, Jello, those kinds of examples. The problem
is when a few hundred people and their kids die from a product in your
category. Well, you know, if they all decided to off themselves by,
you know, drowning themselves in jello, Jello's not gonna have a leg
to stand on there that that's gonna be theirs. So I don't know he
can make an argument. All right, Race Stagic is hanging out with us.
Look at a fun argument. You just walk your discussion. You just
walked in on. How you doing, sir? Oh, I guess I'm
doing okay, I'm good. So do you think when even though Jim Jones
and his people murdered themselves and their kids with flavor Aid, the fact that
people still refer to it as kool aid, do you think from a marketing
perspective, that's a dirty trick by flavor Aid or missed missed opportunity for marketing.
I'm gonna go a dirty trick? Yeah, well what do you think?
So? Yeah? But then you know they never really recaptured market sharing,
kool Aid still around. I think Tang was behind it all. Oh,
that's a good point, that's right. It brings up a good point.
Nailed it. He nailed it, looking at us from space, like
look at these idiots. Oh man, good day, all right, good,
good day to move hundreds of my followers to French Guyana. Yeah good,
sure, Okay, that's what you I mean. I don't know.
I don't know what good or bad is for that. It's cold this morning,
probably French Guyana. Probably not a lot of mid thirties mountain mountains to
the west, there's some low thirties. Coldest readings are between about forty right
now Greensboro thirty eight up for Stokesdale on the triad Tryangle, where we're in
the mid thirties, thirty seven, the northern side of town, Wake Forest
right now thirty eight thirty six. Down towards the south, as you can
near Lake Benson and Fayetteville, temperatures are down into the low forties or even
the mid forties. On the bob line is we'll get milder in the coming
days. Sunshine around today, low seventies. We're milder tonight, upper forties,
lute fifties with the gusty breeze tomorrow, clouds increase. I don't think
any rain load. The mid seventies, and then suddenly back it's slightly cooler
Thursday, near seventy. Friday more sunshine, lost seventies at a warmer weekend,
mostly to partly sunny as we push the mid number seventies on Saturday,
close to eighty on Sunday. Could get even warmer early next week. Casey
going into another one of these dry stretches. Don't see much rain the next
few days. The temperature is not terrible. The nights we'll start getting milder
too, upper forties, little bit fifties now, so for the rest of
the week and then into the weekend, especially Sunday and into Monday, could
see those eighty degree temperatures, maybe middle eighties by early next week as another
area of high pressure sits in off east coast of US and starts pushing temperatures
up. So pretty quiet, pretty easy one here from a meteorological perspective,
at least for now. All Right, we'll phone it in again next hour
quite literally literally, all right, Yeah, I have a good one there,
all right, Race Agic there from the Weather Channel. All right,
Ross, we were talking about the Tasmanian Lady and I said that the title
is Wombat and somebody sent me an email and that said, did you know
that wombat poop is where? And I googled it? And that's true?
Did you know that? Did you know that? They? They literally I
can't say, I had no idea. It's like it's like they're made for
Minecraft, Like, I don't know what the how does that happen? Is
it just one wombat? And maybe we should have a talk about some things
that may have happened in that wombat's life or is it all of them?
It looks like it's all of them. Okay, well, there you go.
You're now armed with additional information to tackle your day with and we'll continue
the process next hangout. Ross has invited me to come to the christening of
and maybe live in Hayes Are you inviting me to live in Hayes Town?
Yeah? Yeah, Well we'll make space for you. Okay, good where
you're talking about Jonestown so it's kind of appropriate. Yeah. The grand opening
of Hayestown is going to be this week and at the parking lot the olivegard
in Weak Forest. I mean, so I was gonna ask if it's the
locations nice? But that sounds pretty good, right. That's all the stuff
around you is, so it's gonna be safe for me? Or what does
that mean? Mmmmmm? All right, well look listen, I can't make
promises here, No, no, no, no, that's fair. Look,
you know, acts of God could happen. You can't control everything exactly
as much as we try. But uh, you know, for the the
feeling of the place, like like, let's say that U will everyone be
equal? That's a good starting point. What do you mean there? There's
definitely gonna be like a hierarchy. Well it doesn't sound you know, sounds
very equal. But but all right, well I understand you gotta have people
in charge, and by people, how many people are in charge? Let
me look here, I get the run like one, like one person one
okay, But if I'm not the guy in charge, there will be people
underneath that person, like calm like I don't know, but like like capo's
or lieutenants. I don't know what. We haven't gotten around to the names
yet, you know, semantics whatever, Yeah, and forcers that's possibility there.
But but but but that's for that's really bad stuff. I'm just,
you know, Hayestown resident, and I'm upset with I don't know something,
and I've voiced my opinion that might be in disagreement with one of the folks.
You just that's fine, right, it'll be fine. Like if I
said, I mean, we might take you away your bread sticks. Okay,
but well if I said that the nochi soup is the the the worst
soup there, that would be no. It's fair. Oh that's fair because
you agree with that and you're the one, right. Okay. We have
free WiFi from the olive garden. I see, okay, And I'm assuming
the the the town's infrastructure is what if the buildings are made of bread sticks.
I mean, we're going to real on this. I'm sorry, buildings.
Well, I mean we're just starting here, man. I see,
okay, all right. We do have ponchos in case it rains, made
out of olive garden bags. Okay. Those bags are extra thick. Yeah
yeah, yeah, you will stay dry. And I will say this too.
The olive garden dressing is a staple in my fridge. I love that
stuff. It's probably because they stick so much cheese in there that you probably
have a heart attack. Bed. It looks like someone's trying to be a
capo. I'm just saying, but also you need to know that you can
have too many breads. Yeah, yeah, there is a there's a number
there. All right, Well look at that, and you know, I'll
tell you this. Everything that I know historically says that when there is an
upstart of a new nation, country, whatever it may be, it's really
good to be the underlings of whoever the dictator of that thing's going to be.
Once you actually get into power. Right, Well, the Republic of
Ross welcomes you. Yeah, It's always gone very well for the higher ups
adjacent to whomever does eventually take control. So yeah, nothing nothing to worry
about there, all right, Well, looking forward to that, all right?
Coming up on the show it they have, Are you guys sitting down?
Is everybody sitting down? All right? They? I think they finally
found something they're willing to deport somebody over I know, right, I cause
you see this stay You're like, what will it take murdering a woman at
Fisherman's Wharf? What's going on down in uh uh in excuse me? And
uh Georgia? Athtes I kept going to say Atlanta in Athens, Georgia,
and then just various other stuff. These folks up in New York that are
put together robbery gangs, right, what will it take? Well, they
found it, I think, and it's uh, it's it's pretty god awful.
And it's in New Jersey. I had to have you a long.
I'm sure that the the tip line was being flooded with calls. Okay,
this is the state of where we are, I swear man, so La
s angels. There was a stabbing suspect on the loose. Pretty the details
around the stabbing just craziest, man. So yeah, if you need one
more thing to worry about, there you go. So as the stabbing is
reported, and as police and the media start to engage the public and the
manhunt, let's see how that's going, shall we. Victims stabbed in the
throat. The ambulance was called and the woman was treated by paramedics, but
no word on the extent of her injuries or her condition right now. As
for the suspect, pollase say it was a man carrying two bags. We
don't have any other description at this point in the video. We can see
some clothing on the floor, but it's unclear what that was about. Well,
I'm sorry, it's a what it's a and carrying two bags? Because
I gotta tell you, if you guys go over to Lax, there's probably
a bunch of suspects. Are we now to the point where like we can't
we're not putting height in there? Or wait potentially? I mean I know
that you guys punted on the including uh, you know race in a description,
But a man with two bags? What does that even mean? Also,
if you have two bags in your hands, how are you stabbing people?
Like? Your whole thing's not checking out? Does he ha one over
his shoulder? I don't know, Ross, how many bags do you have?
Ross doesn't have any bags? That's almost Santa like, not like if
they just got the bag number wrong. And sometimes I witness descriptions are wrong.
That might be it might be Santa right. They're not even getting giving
a description of the bags. That's a very good point. That's you know,
what were they all of garden back? Right? Look, if you're
like, hey, it's a dude with a burlaps hat with a snaky that
like the guy from yesterday in this story, you'd be like, oh,
well that's tag. That's the guy right there. I see the burlap sack
and a snake in there. Two bags that could be anybody? How about
uh, how about they did? How about it was a bag not too
and it was red velvety, uh and magic. Right, So I'm just
saying that might be that. But two bags. I went to the grocery
store yesterday, yesterday afternoon, and I had two bags. Now it uh,
somehow those two bags required me to part with one hundred and twenty dollars.
Tell me how that works. How one hundred and twenty dollars fits into
You could print it in ones and I don't know that it probably would,
but it would be fuller than those bags were. Oh that's another grift.
So yes, in La they're going, uh, they're going in that direction.
Meanwhile in New Jersey. And I'm going to be clear here, I
am going to be as delicate as possible on this story, Okay, and
I'm gonna warn you there is an animal component here. But I also think
you will enjoy my suggestion for justice. So if you can, i'd hope
you hear me out. If not, just be about two three minutes.
But I was that's a good point. Why did they assume the bag holder's
gender? Yeah, I don't do I can't. I can't. I'm just
I heard that. I'm like, it's be more next stabbins. This is
what this is what you're gonna get. You're gonna get more next stabins.
All right, anyway, I'm sorry. This is it is interesting because there
seems to this seems to move along the Hey, maybe we should apport that
guy discussion, which I find wild considering all the stuff that we see on
a daily basis. Where how dare you bring up the suspects immigration status or
whatever? A nineteen year old man from New Jersey, a name of Bonnie
mes Meztila. I'm butchering it, miss mess Quatila. I think it's Tila
Tequila's cousin. I don't know. But anyway, that dude has pled guilty
and he'll be sentenced here in June and will likely receive five years in state
prison. However, they are now trying to decide whether they should just deport
this dude. What is he accused of? All right, again, we're
gonna be delicate here the suspect. I'm gonna go with Mez because I'm not
going to attempt to continue to pronounce that last name. And he sure as
hella hasn't earn it. Uh so what maybe it's called psychopath. So,
according to prosecutor, psychopath posted videos of himself abusing his cat, uh in
a in a in a sexual way. Okay, and I and when I
say that doing that, I mean was doing all of that, the full
thing the cat. Okay, close, I'm gonna go to that. Which,
by the way, how this guy isn't dead from blood loss is what
I initially thought, because let you ever try to put a cat it did
a carrier to go to the vet let alone? Hugh, No, no,
no. According to uh investigators, they the way in which he addressed
that is this just so you understand how little benefit to society this human has.
I'm gonna use a human in air quotes. According to police, he
had constructed custom tiny handcuffs for the cat and a pulley system to guard against
that. That's the level of depravity you're dealing with here. He's facing five
years. When asked by police during the initial investigation whether he had in fact
ever been intimate with the cat, he quote started laughing and said no,
I'm not a psycho. However, later as more of videos emerged, including
him you know, with his little apparatus and all of that, and he's
smiling in the video. I didn't they the description smirking. It's it's just
and it just gets worse from there. That's as deep I'm going to go
in that. So and he did. He did also a dispose of the
cat. So that's what you yes, I okay, fine, you want
to have a deportation discussion, which is so weird because normally, especially in
like you know, up in the Northeast, you don't talk about this.
I'm fine with that. Could I suggest something else? As you know here
on the show, I'm not a cat guy. That's fine whatever. However,
if I could, for just a moment, rather than just putting him
in a prison for five years, rather than just apporting them, or even
doing both prison and then the deport how about we go hammer Robbie on this
kind of So here's what I propose as a thought exercise. Yeah, in
a parallel universe where I was in charge of this stuff, remember the old
ford, remember you like medieval times when they're gonna draw in quarterback or what
was that? Remember the thing that stretched you the rack or whatever, So
you had four point harnesses that left you just you're not going anywhere. All
right, We're gonna get one of those, but first before we strap them
into it, we'll dip them in a combination of heavy cream and fancy feast.
They still don't they still they still have fancy feast. I'm sure again
I don't have cats, uh, And he'll be covered in that and then
we'll fill the room with about one hundred strays that ain't been fed in days
and just let that work. And remember, we have many stories of some
old lady kicking off and by the time they find her half of verse gone
and her cat's overweight. So I feel like nature will take its course.
That's my proposal. But also I'm astounded at the level we had to arrive
at where you know, do you can't ask status? People are like,
now, we should get him out of the country. You know they had
that. There was that YouTube Netflix documentary what was it? Don't f with
cats? Right? Do you ever see that? That's it's pretty interesting.
Basically some slot where was he in Russia or something? Some dude posted a
very gruesome video and it's so irritated the Internet that they went all hunt down
Shia laboufe on this dude, So check that out. But that's the name
of it. I believe it's been a while since I saw it when it
came out, So yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm glad they got
the ball rowing they're having the discussion. It's just crazy to me that this
was the impetus for it, and also you're punishing him wrong. So take
my suggestion. Just but two cents, all right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. Oh and then crazy dude had a roommate
at the time too. Do you ever have a weird roommate? I have,
I think we all have at some point. We had a guy,
uh you know, we lived they had eight guys in the house at that
had been the house in college my junior year, and uh, most were
fine, but there's you know, there's always one weirdo in there. And
even if you try to kind of ignore, like I don't know what he's
doing in the room, but that's fine. I don't know how the hell
you could be around this and not then went on for a while. All
right, I gotta move on from this. It's just my brain. My
brain just absolutely wants to explode, all right, we'll get to the bond
Oh the Bonjovi thing. Uh, yeah, I promised it, so let
me do it. I didn't know what was going on, but apparent they
were doing. He's promoting some h He's got a couple of things coming up,
which is fine. But also it's his thirty fifth wedding anniversary, and
he was getting a lot of pub for the fact that, yeah, as
a rock and roller, he's been married the same woman for thirty five years.
He got like four or five kids, which you know, it could
be a bit of an anomaly in the in the in the mute, in
the entertainment industry. And he made a comment and and for whatever reason it
like triggered people online. All right, so here it is living on the
prayer hit. Baker is now sixty two. Uh, talked about his wife
and him celebrating the thirty fifth anniversary next week with you know, various questions
your rocker, you never really were a drug guy. You've been married thirty
five years, explaining, he said, these are all the wonderful cliches of
rock stardom. He then recounted about how he never really was into drugs because
once when he was younger he smoked something that was laced and from then on
didn't really want much to do with it. Okay, But also when on
his wife, he said, quote, I haven't always been a saint through
our relationship. It's yeah, but basically that party, he talks about some
other stuff there. That's the most innocuous thing I've ever heard. And she's
smiling by the way. Next to him, he's saying that, I don't
know what that means. I guess he knows what it means, that she
knows what it means. Maybe I don't know, But what is what is
with people's need to crap on these folks? He said it, they're clearly
joking. And then the way it was, the way that people were picking
it apart I saw online yesterday is oh, so you just know he's running
around philanderin or he's in a position of power because his wife's not famous,
so she had no choice but to allow him to you know, uh,
A stack groupies like Cordwood in the dressing room. And it's like the amount
of projection on social media now is something mouse? Could I could I entertain
another possibility? Maybe he just really likes her, his wife, Maybe they
have kids, maybe they have a bond. Maybe his wife and the normalacy
of their relationship is allows him to normalize and distress from his day, Like
all of these things are possible. And it's like he makes one little joke
and which may or may not have any significance, and people are like,
oh, he's a secret philanderer. Maybe I mean he's in rock and roll,
but also maybe not. There are there are many examples of people in
the entertainment industry that have had very long relationships and are married, uh and
and and are are married to not famous people. It doesn't seem to be
drama there, So the hell is wrong with folks? But yeah, so
if you're if you're on these people that's sitting there like trying to ruin somebody
else's marriage, I think it's probably because yours got ruined. It may or
may not have been your fault. But you gotta calm down. Okay,
whatld bon Jovi you ever do to you? I'll tell you what he did
to me. He made my childhood amazing with that soundtrack for Young Guns Too?
How great was that that was? That hit me in the prime because
it because remember it is the it is the influx of rock and roll against
a country portrait. Right, Oh, I love the young guys. Oh,
young guns too, the bon Jovi soundtrack. The amount of time,
if you counted the minutes of driving around in my truck, my buddy's vehicles
or whatever, jamming out to any of those songs. There, kids out
on the wild West, you kind of got that mentality. And now it's
been sync to Oh, oh, well, I'll buy that guy a drink.
I don't know if he drinks, but kudos to him. Leave him
alone. That's what I'm saying, all right, eight twenty two. Hang
on, think about this in through the various logical process processes A A an
Ostrich at the zoo. Now it's not the NC Zoo. Where is it?
No? No, no, no, where is this? Oh it's
in Oklahoma or Kansas. All right, So it's not one of the not
one of the critters around these parts, but rather a different, different zoo
is dead. After the critter reportedly, yes it's Kansas. The critter ate
a staff member's keys, and yeah, that I was. They were not
able to do anything about that, which is weird because I remember as a
kid, I remember that Disney and others taught me that ostriches can literally swallow
anything they want and it will just make a big displaced thing in their throat
that is the shape of the object and that go down kind of like a
snake. Apparently it doesn't work for keys though, And then they dance.
I guess would be the Fantasia thing I learned, but the other thing with
the swallowing thing, but not the case. So here's the uncomfortable thing.
I don't know the policy of the zoo, whether the staff member did it,
you know, because ostriches will eat stuff. That's kind of a known
thing. EMUs too. And I only know this because we had a guy
who raised these absolutely nasty, mean to me birds and the EMUs are so
nasty. Man, but he said, yeah, you can't have anything in
the They're like, they'll eat a nail and I'm like, well that doesn't
sound productive. But anyway, how aggressive do you think if you're that staff
member? Can can you be trying to get your keys back? That's where
this thing gets. It's right, you know, the zoo's sad because I
guess the ostriche was very popular because it danced or saw. I don't know
what kind of. I don't know what kind of dance it did, but
again, Disney taught me they can dance, and the zoo says there's dance,
so uh, pretty pretty well known. And again, you're the one
whose keys it swallowed. And even if there's no hard feelings, like,
you still need to drive home get into your house, like is it okay
to go? Hey, I'm this is horrible. I'm so sorry, I'm
very sick. Can I get my keys? Or you just have to wait
till they finally decide to give them to you. I don't know what the
protocol is, because I feel like that is a conundrum at some point that
had that was thought about while this thing was unfolding yesterday. Am I gonna
have to take an uber? Am I gonna get my house? And I
know that sounds insensitive, but this is the weird way in which my brain
works, and I don't know the answer to that. So that's number one.
Number two is actually kind of split in the difference the other video that
I tweeted, I feel so bad for this guy? Is so bad for
this guy. So his name is Quinton. Quinton's working at the Dollar General.
Okay, And like many you know, entry level jobs. Quinn doesn't
want to be there, but he shows up. Right, you cannot want
to be there, but you still show up because you recognize you have a
responsibility, got to make money and support you know, yourself, your family,
whatever it is. I can respect that. But yes, he really
didn't want to be there this day. So in the video you see what
is now becoming a recurring sketch if you will, and I want you to
think the Delta Fly, the Delta Desk Agent video that we saw here a
couple months ago. So Quinton, in the course of having to deal with
this customer whose credit card was declined, which obviously now raises the hackles of
the customer, at some point, I guess, referred to the individual by
a pronoun different than the one they identified as. Right, you know,
you know where this is going. And then the phone comes out, the
filming begins, the stacking on of charges of things that are claimed to have
been said prior to this. I see that's a trend too, where people
get a phone out and they'll be like, ah, you know, how
about you call me this thing again? And sometimes they may have called him
that and that prompted the phone to come out. But a lot of times
when you dig down to it, people witnesses or even other videos, you'll
realize none of that happened prior to it. But you know the Internet will
take it as a gospel because it's in a video, even though that part's
not so. The filming starts demanding all sorts of stuff, dropping some expletives,
and Quinton's having none of this, right, I tell you, when
I tweeted, I said, this, dude, this gotta doesn't get paid
enough for this. I don't care if Quinton's the CEO, he doesn't get
paid enough to have to put up with this. That is a person who
is absolutely mad for a variety of reasons. And I'm not even gonna begin
to unpack the emotional and the mental stuff going on. But you know,
they came there to get stuff their credit card. They get into an argument
because the person claims that the credit card wasn't declined. It said that there
was an air, a processing air, but in reality it literally said the
card was not active. And while all of this is going on, Quinton
himself is I think, doing the best job he can do. The camera
pans and there's a third person, and that's the person who was behind this
irate customer in line, who is And you have to understand that Quentin's a
big black dude and the irate customer is a is a not you know,
a person who has transitioned at the very least their their pronouns. It's unclear
exactly how they're dressed or any of the rest. The other woman who the
angry customer, then tries to draw into this by going, ma'am, you
saw this, Tell them what you saw. She is, she is her
body language, she's turned almost all the way around. She's punching the like
the buttons on the credit card thing where but clearly there's not anything going on.
She could she wanted to be able to teleport out of there that moment,
and it's like, is this just the new normal here? Ross made
an eerie prediction. I agree with him. Uh, these it's Mam videos,
there's more and more of them, and uh, there will be one
on a drive through speaker now. And remember like when the it's Maam at
the game stop first broke that story, we treated it was real the first,
right, I thought it was something something. We treated it as like
an oddity. Like, check this out. I haven't seen this before,
and now it's more common, and now I've gotten to the pointlist I'm very
polite. I call everybody sir, ma'am. Right, I just yes,
sir, yes ma'am. Recently when I because I was thinking about this,
I go through the drive through now, picking them like fast food or whatever.
And I'm really good at voices. I can typically tell if somebody is
a dude or a woman, right, you could, you could tell.
But I've stopped saying sir and ma'am at the drive through speaker now because I
can be There's been several there's been well there's one time where I was wrong
and I pulled up and I was like, oh, I got that one
wrong. And I started thinking, I'm like, this is going to become
a thing like I could see myself saying yes sir, yes ma'am naturally say
automatically say it because I'm polite my daddy and that's how I was raised.
You know, you hear that's you and I have the same We have that
same thing you. I say it on the air and people get mad about
it sometimes all the time, exactly just being polite. So I can see
myself rolling around to the window to pick up my food, getting it wrong,
and somebody having a camera in my face and just posting it online or
spitting in my food. I can see that becoming a thing. Yeah,
I don't think you're wrong. For about five minutes from that train stop,
dude, this guy go see that video at Casey on the radio again.
I feel so bad for that and that woman too, because she realizes that
this thing does go viral. She's ticking no diversity boxes. So she got
it's all. She's had nothing to win and everything to lose. All right,
Race Stagic, look, hold on ra Stagic from the Weather Channel.
He's uh, get that up there. He's hanging out with us. So
though, I've got a pretty easy lift today, so that's yeah, it's
yeah. Next few days, it's actually pretty easy. I'n't waiting for the
other shoot ball, right. Nor about high this time. Here's about the
mid seventies. Depends to where we are. Load to mid seventies. Let's
take it for everybody, and that's what will be for the daytime highs in
the next few days. Now, it is cold this morning relative to where
we should be. The normal low is closer to fifty. We've got many
spots right now closer to forty and even some mid thirties around. So chilly
morning, but that's even gonna come back to as we'll have sunshine. Let's
just say low seventies today and near fifty tonight. We're going to breeze around
too, and that will continue Tomorrow mid seventies again, and then Thursday near
seventy, Friday low seventies. The change coming for the weekends. The high
pressure is gonna park itself off the coast and we'll get more of a southwest
flow that's gonna get temperatures milder as we get into Saturday, some mid and
upper seventies, and gounna be around eighty degrees with partly sunny sky Saturday,
mostly sunny sky on Sunday in case, I think, even warmer as we
get into early next week. So the message here is dry, near or
slightly below average temperatures for a couple of days toward the weekend, last weekend
of the month. Yes it is. It looks like we'll see some warmer
temperatures and early next week looks warmer too. All right, Uh, you
pumped for you pumped for the draft, Buddy, I am. I'm going
to be a performance for my daughter. I think I'm gonna miss at least
the beginning of it, but I'm excited anyway to see what happens. All
right. The Cowboys, by way, are in my mock drogs looking to
mock draft projected to take Ryan Leaf. So good luck with that. Oh
yeah, well yeah, good luck with that. Bro. Well they better
do something there you go? Racegic, Oh no, I'm stupid. Ain't
the wrong button? All right? Race Agic? For the Weather Channel?
All right, Ross fixed it or somebody did, all right? Thank you?
Uh coming back, Jeff Bellinger, I grab a call and uh,
oh my gosh, did you see what happened at that in and out burger
in Oakland? The one that it was the first location to ever closed because
criminals And it's so much worse than you think. Hang on for all that
and more next forting case. The major stock averages posted respectable gains to start
the new trading week, and the futures have been higher all morning. Right
now, the Dow futures are up one hundred six points. Students entering college
in the fall will likely face sky high interest rates if they borrow from the
federal government to pay for tuition. It's projected the rates on student loans will
be around six point sixty one percent, the highest in more than fifteen years,
and that is based on a formula that uses the yield from ten year
treasury notes. We continue to learn more about this year's cyber attack on a
United Health subsidiary. Statements posted on the company's website says personal information on a
substantial proportion of people in America may have been compromised. Could be months before
the full extent of damage is known. A British sportswear and sneaker chain looking
to expand its American presence, JD Sports Fashion, is buying Hibbit, which
has more than eleven hundred namesake and city years sporting goods stores across the US.
Something new from Amazon dot Com announced today a new subscription service for grocery
deliveries. For nine to ninety nine a month, Amazon Prime members can get
unlimited deliveries of grocery orders more than thirty five dollars from Whole Foods, Amazon
Fresh, and various local and specialty retailers. Subscriptions are available at half price
for EBT card users even without prime membership, and the Casey another merger deal
running into opposition in Washington, the Federal Trade Commission is suing to block Tapestries
deal to acquire Capri Holdings for eight and a half billion dollars. Tapestry is
the parent of the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzmann brands. Capri's labels
are Michael Core's, Versace and Jimmy Chew. The FTC says the deal would
harm the luxury goods markets, so it shouldn't go through. According to the
agency, Casey is it, but Amazon isn't Whole Foods the grocery store they
delivery. Yeah, this is. There's a subscription service though you pay nine
to ninety nine a month. You could have unlimited. Yeah, like the
grocery. But the grocery store where you're buying the groceries from is the Whole
Foods, right, and I've ordered I've ordered it before. It was the
Whole Foods in Raleigh, Right, this time it's Whole Foods. Amazon's Fresh
and apparently it's teaming up with some local and specialty retailers and areas that have
served Okay, I'm just pointing this out because I feel well, and Jeff,
I'm not going to drag you into this, so thank you very much
for the call. I appreciate it. Okay, all right, take care,
you have a good days morning. All Right. You just happen to
be on the phone today because equipment's fighting me. No, the reason I'm
asking is, and this doesn't just go for people who might be on EBT.
This can also go for people who don't have a lot of money.
Right you shouldn't be shopping at Whole Foods, And I have no problem with
Whole food I understand the whole granola hipster thing, but I've always found that
I get good quality food at Whole Foods, like the fish election there and
the vegetables seem to be fine. You just got to know the smell of
pechuli wafting on, and don't go near the salad bar. But if you're
on EBT, don't go to Whole Foods. I mean, I understand that
right now going anywhere is problematic, but a subscription delivery service to the Whole
Foods is probably not going to stretch your dollar. So sorry, just taking
a back I gotta grab this phone call though, real quick because I am
so curious. Steve got it just a couple of minutes, so try to
keep it concise. But what happened Steve? Yes, sir, hey go,
I have like two minutes, but give us the reader's digest version please.
I'm sorry. I'll try to make it as quick as I can.
I have a friend who's a hire up manager at a local, very big
dealership, and he drove through what she has for the last ten years.
He drove through the drive through and he knows everybody there, the manager and
everybody where. Where was the drive at a Starbucks? Okay okay? And
he uh went in there and did his order and said, thank you.
Man rated him with F bombs here F bomb's there. And he's a regular
that spends a lot of money there for his employees and stuff. And he's
like, well, have a nice day, and just left and did yeah,
did your friend know this employee? You said your friend's are regular there
or was it just like regular? This was a new employee? Okay,
all right, all right? And he knows everybody there. What happened?
So the manager, the manager called him about fifteen minutes later and says,
hey, I heard you have a little bit of a problem. He's like
yeah, and he told the story. He's like, well, we're gonna
have to figure out how you can come back here and apologize to my staff
for upsetting them. Well, so the Starbucks manager calls him. Your friend
probably assumes, hey, I heard this was an instant him because yeah,
and he thought that I was just going to be like, look, this
is uh okay, yeah, sorry about his new employee whatever. And they
wanted they just did your friend go apologize or no? Yeah, right,
he went into his uh days back where the guys are working, said,
by seeing another Starbucks coffee cup in here, you're all fired. Oh no,
he was joking. Of course he was joking. Of course he was
so mad.
