WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:07.639 I call it an interesting collective of stories today. Okay, obviously we got 2 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:17.519 everything, almost everything. I have a little bit of a frustration. It'll 3 00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:24.280 become evident when we get into Joe Biden over in France. Okay, just 4 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.839 and I don't know maybe if it's maybe it's just because I'm in a surly 5 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.240 mood because I'm still, you know, recovering from not feeling well this week. 6 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:43.640 But so much meat on the bone that you didn't have to smuggle in 7 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.640 a hamburger. I'll explain I'm doing a bad job setting it up, but 8 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.039 I don't want to tip my hand on it. Okay, So yeah, 9 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.039 well we'll break down what was going on over there. But I feel like 10 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:03.719 everyone started looking at one thing and they made that their passion, and it 11 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:11.840 kind of detracts from what the real problem is, would be the way to 12 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.719 say it. And then in the rest of the stack, every just dumb 13 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:23.000 stuff, just you know, a lot of really great Friday stories, little 14 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.680 goofy stories, interesting stuff that ain't going to ruin your life, but at 15 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.959 the very least may make it more interesting today so you can share it with 16 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:37.480 other people. We're cool with that. And then in the final hour, 17 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.959 beat calendar will be here, and you know, we'll do what we do, 18 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.519 which is generally a mix of some stuff that's actually probably important from a 19 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:53.640 North Carolina perspective, coupled with dumb stuff. So Friday in a nutshell, 20 00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:01.760 not much of a rundown with oddities. Uh, you know that's uh, 21 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.760 that's how we're going to roll today. But first we got to uh. 22 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:15.960 I think that we've got to start with the biggest upset in the history of 23 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:23.039 sports, in the history of the world. That is a quote I'm reading 24 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:38.120 which which took place yesterday. The US men's cricket team beat Pakistan or Pakistan 25 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:45.639 or however you want to ever you want to say it, the biggest upset 26 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:51.639 ever in the history of sports in the history of the world. Again, 27 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.280 that's a quote, that's not me saying it. So that's a thing. 28 00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:05.680 Okay, it explain it to me like I'm three or maybe five. I 29 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.400 don't know what's an appropriate age too to explain that toy like five. I 30 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.520 read an explanation on it today because I was also curious that that sort of 31 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.759 explained it to me. Okay, good, good, good, good game 32 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.520 was I could do the thing where I'm like, oh, roster cricket expert. 33 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.080 But no, no, no, no, hell, I mean I 34 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.680 kind of understand it, but it's a blue check to sports dude. So, 35 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.960 you know, a reporter guy, and he said, imagine like it's 36 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.360 the biggest sport in your country that everybody in your country knows how to play 37 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.159 from the age of like one, Like everyone knows this, So so soccer 38 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.159 in a lot of prices in the world. Not only does everybody, not 39 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:46.280 only is it the biggest sport in your country, but your team is considered 40 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:52.159 the best players in the world. And now imagine you get beaten by guys 41 00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.680 who just happened to play this on the weekend as like a hobby. Yeah, 42 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.960 I mean I didn't. Did you know we had a national cricket teammate? 43 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.199 No idea, I mean I yes, I assume that we probably did, 44 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.840 just you know, just out of sheer people are. Everybody's into something, 45 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.240 right, So I and I and I know, and I've seen them 46 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.439 play. If you ever go to d C, you'll see us, you 47 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.600 know, when the when the weather's right, you'll see guys out there in 48 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.199 the in the parks, around the you know, around all of the the 49 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.360 attractions. You'll you'll see people playing cricket. So like I knew it. 50 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:38.000 I knew it was a bigger FOURG in sport. But you know, people 51 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.480 play it around. Uh, people played around the universities. They played around 52 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.560 Chapel Hill and over by Duke casually and and so yeah, I guess I 53 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.600 assume, but to be any good. No, you're right, but Pakistan 54 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.240 is how many how many people live in Pakistan? I don't know, but 55 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.319 apparently they have the best players in the world, Like they're considered the best 56 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.600 players. Okay, and then we just beat them with some dudes that were 57 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.120 in a bar. Was like, yeah, put me in code I one. 58 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.800 I don't think that's necessarily fair to all. It is not. It's 59 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.480 not, but comparatively speaking to you know, the interest of what cricket is 60 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.240 for the country and how good our players are in a national ranking, that 61 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.639 is what it was. We just came in and we're like, okay, 62 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.759 let's play this game, and we beat their ass. Can I This is 63 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:32.720 gonna sound really ugly American, but I don't care, especially because we got 64 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:41.800 some history with Pakistan. But it I don't know if it hits different, 65 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:50.439 but I like it when we whip somebody's butt at their own thing as as 66 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.759 a lark. Do you know what I'm saying? This has to be like 67 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:58.839 imagine some crazy like I don't know, imagine Kazakhstan back in the day beating 68 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:05.759 Michael Jordan's dream team that just happened. That that just happened to Pakistan. 69 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.120 I mean, that'd be posters coming off walls in the US, fair or 70 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.079 unfair. Now, I did see some I did see somebody who appeared to 71 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:20.319 be a Pakistan fan said, well, it's not like you guys did anything 72 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.480 every you know, everyone on the team's just second generation US. And I'm 73 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:32.240 like, Aaron Jones, Uh, what was it? What was one of 74 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.240 the other dude's name, Like, like, I are the dude who never 75 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.480 got out his name is Aaron Jones. Now, don't get me wrong, 76 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:46.000 we gotta sing a mod zimon. Uh what there was one other dude whose 77 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.160 names like Smith or something? I mean, Aaron Jones got bullied in Pakistan 78 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:54.120 growing up there with that, I'm sure, Yeah, dude, yeah, 79 00:06:54.519 --> 00:07:00.879 yeah, you're dude named Aaron Jones. Probably a little rough come up and 80 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.199 all right, I don't understand all of the scoring mechanism and all of all 81 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.639 of that. So I will just say I'm not gonna be able to break 82 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:20.680 down like how everything transpired, but apparently it was an ass kicking. I 83 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.720 tried to learn how to play cricket over the internet, like streaming it on 84 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.000 twitch like the video game. I tried playing it, like learning how to 85 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.480 play it. And that might sound funny, but that's literally how I learned 86 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:31.360 how play football when I was a kid, like a little bit. They 87 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.000 they have a cricket, yeah, right. So I was like, I'm 88 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.720 gonna stream this. It'll be funny. It'll be like American plays cricket or 89 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.399 whatever. And I got a bunch of people from like England and you know, 90 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.160 Middle East like watching and commenting. And so I played this game and 91 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.160 I streamed this game for five to six hours. It was a pretty long 92 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:53.040 stream. At the end of the six hours, I still had no idea 93 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.839 what I was doing. If you ask me, how does it, I 94 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.839 have no idea. It's just confusing. There's a wicket and there's a You 95 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.439 think it's like baseball, but it's nothing like baseball. Yeah, there's They 96 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.199 got some interesting terms too that I've heard use. And I'm just saying I 97 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.879 don't know if I want to learn whatever that is, but no, I've 98 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.959 never, never successfully learned it. So okay, all right, well, 99 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:28.079 hey, you know, congratulations and you know we're number one, so woo 100 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.279 hoo. Do our women play too? Would that be a big deal? 101 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:37.200 Again, I don't know how any of this stuff works. Here's what I 102 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.320 will say. It'll be good to not have to listen to the twenty eight 103 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.559 and three Patriots people. Do you know what I'm saying, because now anytime 104 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.919 they bring that up, I'll just be like twenty twenty four men's cricket team 105 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.399 scoreboard or whatever they use in cricket, I don't know, and then we 106 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.320 just move on from there. So look, there is there's an upside for 107 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.759 everybody, I guess, is the point that I'm making. So you gonna 108 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.320 play some cricket over the weekend with your new found uh never inspiration at the 109 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.879 end of it, at the end of the stream, I'm like, I'm 110 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.799 never playing this again. Any knowledge that I did have about this game is 111 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.879 completely like, my my brain is defragged. It's get rid of it. 112 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.799 Put it in the bill. All right, Well, hey, it was 113 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.000 it was good for what it was a nice little victory lap and uh, 114 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.519 it'll continue today because I've got ways to tie this into like nine stories, 115 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.639 all right. Also coming up on the show, Yes, Florida, we'll 116 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:41.000 do the Florida thing. Goblins. We got goblins. Maybe probably not, 117 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:48.039 but uh well we'll check the allegation. And ah China again to China. 118 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.000 All that more coming up hanging on Good Friday morning, six twenty two, 119 00:09:52.039 --> 00:10:03.159 CaCO Day Radio program, proudly uh probably covering are Oh that's right, greatest 120 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.559 cricket team in the world ever or something. Oh, and I just realized 121 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:18.360 it took place in Texas, So I suspect there's a bunch of people in 122 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.840 and around the Dallas area that have zero idea what the game is but are 123 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.799 still driving around with flags on their truck. Oh that's got it hurt. 124 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.240 It reminds me. I remember in the Olympics when the US curling team was 125 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.240 like kicking Sweden's ass or whatever it was. I have no curling, but 126 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.440 I was flipping and these guys that were on the ice they looked like you 127 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.600 met like the old SNL cast sitting around going dubb bears, like sitting there 128 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.159 going I'm having a heart attack. They look like that, but they're in 129 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:50.120 the ice with those brooms. Watch that had them in studio because like the 130 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.399 one team was like three dudes from the Midge right, and it was like 131 00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:01.440 it was like every north Woods bar in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and and it's 132 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.320 say the Olympic athletes are here, and it was great. I loved it. 133 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.519 I loved it. You know what we need to do. We need 134 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:15.559 to go. We need to we need to now pick another random world sport, 135 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.519 get some like volunteers from a tavern, and then just go dominated. 136 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.440 I'm thinking the Dead Goat Polo. I was just thinking the same thing from 137 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.039 Rambo three. Yes, I was just gonna say that, yes, And 138 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.879 that's the only training they get is watching the movie. Is watching Rambo three? 139 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.240 Well, just that part we're not gonna make and watch the whole thing. 140 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.679 I'm calling it now complete domination gold all day, man, just one 141 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.559 to all. They'd be so mad, and then, you know, we'll 142 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.840 do some research. We'll figure out. I'm sure there's some other sport with 143 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.440 some you know, like dah who can put the coconut through the thing or 144 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.000 what Who the hell knows. We're going to number one Dream Team, baby, 145 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.159 dude, get Jordan out of retirement. Can you imagine? Can you 146 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.159 imagine, dude's got two three peats. He's just been banging around golf in, 147 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.840 smoking cigars, buying progressively larger fishing boats. I mean, where he's 148 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.279 at is amazing right now. But and then all of a sudden he's just 149 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.000 say, all right, let me put this on hold. Yeah, not 150 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.320 gonna golf things, not no, not not playing baseball. And then like 151 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.639 he scores all the dead goat goals or whatever the rules are. That would 152 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:39.440 be, oh, I ah, what an exciting week of sports. That 153 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:46.519 would be. You go straight from US Open, you know, right here, 154 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.960 right around the corner, and then uh, we're just dominating the world 155 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:56.480 sports man USA, USA, all right, eight eight eight, that's the 156 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.120 dream. So and it's Friday, so we can speculate with stuff like that. 157 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:07.080 Well, you know what, we'll run it by Pete. We'll we'll 158 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.919 see where Pete said, I think he's gonna be on a team. Let's 159 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.840 let's shame him. And you know what, maybe next time, if you 160 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.639 don't wanna, you don't want to get dominated at your own thing, don't 161 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:26.120 house a terrorist in a compound for years. Okay, Okay, we're good, 162 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:33.879 got it, perfect, wonderful. AnyWho on the goblins saw this one, 163 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.039 you know it's gonna be a good story. When the audio cuts the 164 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:45.120 ones like in the archive, you already know exactly what's coming outlins. Thank 165 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:50.639 you Alex Jones with your goblins. So what's up with goblins? Well, 166 00:13:52.039 --> 00:14:01.200 apparently there's a goblin infested police station. I know there's all sorts of jokes 167 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.799 that people can make and little fun stories, but let me give you the 168 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:16.159 let me give you the straight and narrow. This is in Zimbabwe. Police 169 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:22.679 abandoned or cops abandoned police station after claims that goblins were terrorizing them at night. 170 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.279 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go. Uh. 171 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.759 Officers stationed at a police station in southwestern Zimbabwe have reportedly abandoned it, 172 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.919 citing harassment nightly by goblins. Oh excuse me, I gotta if I'm going 173 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.840 to read it, I gotta might as well. You know, goblins say 174 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.399 it. So anyway, every night, whoever's working the overnight shift, pure 175 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.919 goblin harassment. Just the worst. Nobody wants to see that. Let me 176 00:14:54.360 --> 00:15:01.559 let me finish this goblin story because I was going somewhere, I promise goblins 177 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:09.000 right because I I admittedly when it comes to mythical creatures, I think goblins 178 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.720 I know the least about or pretty close. Like and for those who just 179 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:20.039 joining us, a police station was abandoned because the officers who work the overnight 180 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.639 say that goblins are harassing them. It's in Zimbabwe. So I don't know 181 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.240 what are goblins origin story? Like where do they come from? I'm not 182 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.759 ask like do they come out of portals? Or where do they come from? 183 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.200 Like vampires? Right, like the whole the origin story is kind of 184 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.720 the thing people know the most about vampires, right what they did? Yeah, 185 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.240 at least they know how you become a vampire exactly where Wolf? Same 186 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.080 deal Goblin? Where do goblins come from? M? Do you know? 187 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.200 I don't know? Uh? So you know, I I don't know. 188 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.200 I don't know how to determine how scared they should be at the police station 189 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.559 in Zimbabwe. What was that documentary in the eighties with the Goblin King? 190 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.919 Uh? David Bowie was in there, right? Yeah? Labyrinth Labyrinth? 191 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:17.200 Yeah yeah, I always conflated with the Tom Cruise one legend legend. Yeah, 192 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.919 I mean I don't once I actually look at it, but like for 193 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:23.840 whatever reason just in my head since they that movie is literally the only thing 194 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.679 I know about goblins. That's it. So it's not much to go on. 195 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.519 So do you think it's goblins? I mean, I don't, like 196 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.080 I'm thinking about that obviously. I don't think it's actually goblins. Okay, 197 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.679 but I think there was some story a while back about I think it was 198 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.519 a government agency was trying to destabilize an area and there was a myth in 199 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.159 the area about vampires or something, and so okay, no, no, 200 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.879 no, no, no, no, remember know what I'm talking about. 201 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.440 I know because I like I do. I literally went through the entire thing 202 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:56.120 because it's so fascinating. So just real quick, going back to when h 203 00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.799 under uh, when the Philippines were first brought into the world of democracy, 204 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.759 right, okay, So, and we wanted to control who was going to 205 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:08.759 be president in the in the US. So there was the dude we wanted 206 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.480 who had literally written a letter saying, Hey, if you may be president, 207 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.559 whatever you guys want, I'm basically your puppet, and you know, 208 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.720 Cia loves that stuff. And then there was the other dude, you know, 209 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.000 the guy from the Mountains, the you know, had the freedom fighters 210 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.920 and all that, and they needed to like get these freedom fighters out of 211 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:32.720 the mountains because it was it was a big problem. And the way that 212 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.200 they ended up doing it is they were so paranoid about this weird mountain vampire 213 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.720 thing which was a local legend that they went and they found near where the 214 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.880 where they were, and rather than fighting the rebels, they killed one of 215 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:55.400 their centuries and then hung him with bite marks and they drained his blood so 216 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.039 that when the guy, I guess, when the other guys came to relieve 217 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.920 those guards, it looked like dude had been, you know, vampired, 218 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.720 and they the rebels literally came down because they were they didn't want to get 219 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.160 eaten by the vamp right. So that's where my brain went, like, 220 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.000 maybe this is some sort of like CIA or leaning up where they have like 221 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.000 a little person division that they're dressing up like goblins that they dropped into Zimbabwe. 222 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.680 But then I'm like, why would we want to stabilize this police department 223 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:27.880 in Zimbabwe? But maybe just because you can, maybe you're bored and you're 224 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.480 like, we have this new little person division, what can we do with 225 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.960 them? I know, we'll drop them into Zimbabwe, and if you're part 226 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.799 of the new Little Person division, you're like, yes, finally some action. 227 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.440 Drop me in there, buddy, send me in coaching. You jump 228 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.319 out of the plane and you parachute in and now you're taking over the police 229 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:52.480 station. How high is the plane? I'm just for it to be uh 230 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.640 what, I'm gonna get so much trouble here, all right? So, 231 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.960 so you think it could be like one of those government use it or lose 232 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.039 it budget situations. Break Do you don't get that money backward in the budget? 233 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.880 Do you right now? You might as well use it? Do they 234 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:14.119 recruit for that? And how awkward is that? Right? Right? So 235 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.960 they you know, they're like on America's campus because you're not recruiting out of 236 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.920 the military, so you know, you're you're you're in civilian world, and 237 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.480 you're like, you know that person would make a really good spy goblin. 238 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.599 But then you have to go broach that topic and you know that individual maybe 239 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.680 like that's interesting. Why are you trying to recruit me for the goblin thing 240 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.920 and not not her over there? But what made you come over here? 241 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.400 Sir? It's like it could go sideways. It's not so crazy to think 242 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.160 that we would do something like you learn about these like weird crazy oh yeah, 243 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.400 you know CIA type things where it's like why would like remember they had 244 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:53.440 a plan to blow up the moon or whatever it was, and it's just 245 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.039 something to blow it up. They just wanted to make it. They wanted 246 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:03.119 big explosions to let the Russian snow. Remember they wanted to weaponize bats on 247 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.839 Japan during World War Two. Yeah, we were like five minutes from Yeah, 248 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:08.599 light everything on fire. I mean I think a lot of times they're 249 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.279 just there and they're just like, we're bored. What can we do today? 250 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:18.759 Let's say the goblins? Yeah all right, well yeah, no, 251 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.400 I guess not a lot going on. I shouldn't say, and there's there's 252 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.880 probably a lot going on at all all times. But this is the Goblin 253 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:32.599 Division, and so what this is a test run. That's probably what this 254 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.039 is. Or I mean possibly maybe they really are goblins. I've never been 255 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.240 Zimbabwe. I don't know. Now you're just being ridiculous, So all right, 256 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.440 look Ross believes in goblins. Everybody just saying goblins. It's probably the 257 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:52.279 recruiter. Maybe it's an ad, right, like maybe a Hollywood casting ad. 258 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.599 Oh no, you can't because the snow white with the with the dwarves. 259 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:02.839 Remember, oh man, they people are gonna be those actors. Remember 260 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:07.880 they put they wouldn't even hire them. So yeah, I think for the 261 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.200 CIA, at that point you realized that your your your casting calls, so 262 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.799 to speak, for goblins is probably gonna be well received. It could be 263 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:22.839 an inside job like trying to boost tourism Goblin enthusiasts. Well, why do 264 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.359 people go to like say Romania, like Transylvania, Why do you go there? 265 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:32.119 They have a big hot springs there it became vampires, Stracula or you 266 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.640 want to go there. Maybe they're just trying to be the Goblin capital of 267 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:37.559 the world and people come here and spend all their money. Yeah. No, 268 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.079 the southern part of the country is like crazy hot springs and stuff, 269 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.039 but which I didn't know. I did that, yes, But then the 270 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.880 other stuff is, you know, you want to get eaten by Dracula or 271 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.400 flat or whatever. I understand. So so yes that and dude, if 272 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:59.079 you ever go to like Ireland haunted haunted castle and church stuff is I would 273 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:03.440 shake that out Free Town, scot One and I've done all the one I 274 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.279 remember I was at the one where like the one of the actors was kind 275 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:12.799 of like injured by the way that the uh the kid. The kids reacted 276 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.640 to that because they have like some of them have like actors along the way 277 00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:22.119 for jump scares and like it's it was the whole thing. But you know, 278 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:23.720 Marky and I love doing those like sort of ghost walk things. They're 279 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.920 fun. Yeah, yeah, we've done one of a few times done in 280 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.640 Wilmington and oh yeah so much. This is before Lincoln was born and we 281 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.160 got to there's a point you get to where it's like it's an old gallows 282 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.400 where east of the gallows, and they talk about how like the first time 283 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.519 we went there, the dude is like, sometimes we come here and people 284 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.319 get suddenly really nauseus and sick and they have to sit down, and that's 285 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.920 because they're possessed by the people that were hung in the gallows. We're standing 286 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.119 now is this is where the gallows was. So the second time we did 287 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.039 the tour, as soon as we start walking in an area, I'm like, 288 00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.680 oh, I'm not feeling good. Oh my god, and I like 289 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.640 sat I'm like he's like, oh, what's going on. I'm like, 290 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.480 oh my god, I feel sick. I feel so cold. Did you 291 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.200 sit right where the gallow was? Like if they're if they it was still 292 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.319 up, you'd be in a rope right. Oh yeah, the guy was 293 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.599 so freaked out. Dude, you reverse who knowed the tour guide. Let's 294 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:22.519 see, all right, the CIA guys trying to spend their money with goblins. 295 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.359 I'm I'm fully entrenched in this. A little bit of a sensey humor. 296 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.000 Oh that's amazing. All right, Well there you go. See look 297 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:36.480 at that all the goblin news. Uh. Fit for your weekend. We 298 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:41.759 have it for you right here on the cac O Day radio program. All 299 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:48.880 right, coming up, Uh, we have an update to a story that 300 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:56.359 we did out of Texas where we learned what patina was it? Patina right? 301 00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:00.640 Patina is the stuff that's on antiques. Yeah, yes, stuff you 302 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.880 don't want to take off because it takes away the value. If I learned 303 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.480 how different pawn stars that's it. Because people come in and they're like, 304 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.119 oh, I had this ancient knife from you've lad the impale or whatever, 305 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:12.160 and you're, yeah, I cleaned it all off so I could sell it. 306 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.960 And they're like, dude, you just screwed yourself over so worth like 307 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:21.440 nothing now. But we'll remind you what we learned here. What it was 308 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.440 a couple of months ago when the story first broke we got we got an 309 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.720 update to it where we all learned where the petina comes from, or at 310 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.559 least it's a theory, might come from goblins. Don't know, but we'll 311 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:37.279 let you be the judge. And uh, the the the parade saga in 312 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:48.960 the city of Raleigh continues, and uh, it's just it just the absurdity 313 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:55.400 of all of this and that it likely will end up exactly as it was 314 00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:02.880 and it could have been without government ego having to involve themselves. It's just 315 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.599 so it's so frustrating and depressing when it all finally pans out. Plus, 316 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:14.160 we'll talk about the President's visit to Normandy coming up next here on the CaCO 317 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.839 Day Radio program. Coming up on the show Reminder eighth five Pete Calender, 318 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:25.039 he'll join us and lots we got oodles to get into. Okay, and 319 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.359 I'll probably put more a little more of the Normandy discussion there, but I 320 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.799 do have to hit the highlights. But first I have to say this, 321 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:45.720 and it's there's there's like a weird. I'm gonna make it. I'll even 322 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.480 make a reference here that Ross will enjoy. There's like this weird bored style 323 00:25:51.799 --> 00:26:00.200 organism of Twitter accounts that all do the same thing and then all like feast 324 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.960 upon each other right where they all they all have the same content, they 325 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:11.480 all immediately post it. They all have the same take, they're cross linked. 326 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.599 They post, they'll post links to their own stuff within the comments of 327 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:22.079 other other people's posts that have the same content. And it's a lot of 328 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:27.599 like big conservative pundit accounts that have this is how they've transitioned to monetization. 329 00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:36.079 And it's dumb. And I find myself unfollowing accounts that I previously had followed 330 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.119 because they would they would post stuff up. But now none of it's useful, 331 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:45.160 none of it's none of it's unique and interesting. It's just bad. 332 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.519 Yeah, I've noticed that too, and it annoys me. It's so it's 333 00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.359 so annoying because when news breaks, I tend to do this thing, which 334 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.400 is the you do too, I think, where it's the exact opposite of 335 00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:57.079 what they want you to do. Now, So a new story story will 336 00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:02.359 break and they want you to post some immediately or talk about it or have 337 00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:04.640 a take or tell people what's going on. But a lot of the times, 338 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.720 right you don't know, and you need to sit back and wait and 339 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:14.920 form an opinion that's actually based on what's happening and not just the immediacy of 340 00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:21.920 the time. Or I find myself posting things to clarify because I recognize, 341 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.480 here's the thing. Joe Biden didn't almost poop himself yesterday. Okay, did 342 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:34.519 you watch the video that is roughly even just two seconds longer of what was 343 00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:40.960 going on with him in that weird kind of lean back squat position. What 344 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.680 was going on there is dude starts to sit down because he's because and this 345 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:49.160 is the deal, there is literal cognitive stuff going on there, or he 346 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.599 got confused with it. There's other stuff to talk about. He did that 347 00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.279 half getting ready to sit thing where his wife went it's not time to sit 348 00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:03.440 yet. And if you watched any video that was longer than the one that 349 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.960 was shared by all of those accounts, just to everyone making poop jokes all 350 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:14.559 that, perhaps you'd realize how dumb that was. Okay, and it ignores 351 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:18.000 the bigger problems, is the point that I make. I saw all of 352 00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.559 the posts yesterday about that, I say, poop in his pants. And 353 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.559 you know, I'm not a fan of Joe Biden at all, worst president 354 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.160 in my lifetime. Can't stand the man. I think he's evil. But 355 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.920 I'm seeing all the posts. But I didn't actually watch the video until this 356 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.240 morning, loading it right, and now I'm hearing the sound and it's in 357 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.160 context, and I'm seeing what's going on in the music fades. And as 358 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.079 the music fades, he goes to sit down, but then it's not over 359 00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.680 because there's a big pause between the music fading and the guy talking yeah, 360 00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:47.839 And I'm like, he's looking for a chair or he's looking for some way 361 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.359 to sit down or something, but I don't he's doing the thing that you've 362 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:56.039 done at church and your wife sits you on the shoulder for now. Does 363 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:03.359 that detract from the fact that he like his interaction with McCrone, the way 364 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:11.759 that he exits a stage at a moment's notice, Like it's that there's so 365 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.680 much there there. Yeah, the dude is gone, Like you can see 366 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.160 the interactions between him and macrone, and it's just like or him getting out 367 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:23.000 of the yeah, you know, the car and looking away and he's he's 368 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:26.920 gone. It's sad man, it's elder abuse. But like for every one 369 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.759 of those accounts and every one of those folks and the and they'll justify and 370 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.759 they go, well, look this is what they did. You're absolutely right. 371 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.319 It is what they did to Trump one thousand percent. But you know 372 00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:42.319 what, now, I don't buy now when you post stuff, I don't 373 00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:48.319 buy what you're saying. I'm done. I'm going to or I'm going to 374 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.039 automatically assume there's a longer video. And you know what, it wasn't easy 375 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.799 finding a video that was just three seconds longer that clearly showed that in context, 376 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.880 not when the flurry of everything that was coming out, And it frustrated 377 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.880 me so much because I gotta I've got enough stuff that I'm fishing through and 378 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:07.880 trying to put together so that it can be on the show. And I 379 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.319 want to understand it and make sure that we have you know, audio that 380 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:18.640 we can we can utilize and and and now I'm I have to dig through 381 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:25.039 this because people who would tell you that they are a fairer arbiter of information 382 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:32.000 than you know that the CNN maggots are are squandering it. So they can 383 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:40.240 make poop jokes once a month. It's it's baffling to me, absolutely baffling. 384 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:52.160 But to Ross's point, when he's dealing with macrons and he's randomly telling 385 00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.240 him that his advanced team says he has to leave first, and and don't 386 00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:03.640 even get me wrong, there's also something about literally ditching your allies on the 387 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:08.799 beaches of Normandy. But you can make all these intellectual or fun, little 388 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:15.720 history nerd kind of pun jokes, but the reality was everything looked awkward over 389 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.680 there yesterday. There were dudes that are over one hundred years old. They 390 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.000 were actually on that beach right, yes, yes, yes, who were 391 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:30.400 where they needed to be when they needed to be. We're having conversations coherently 392 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:37.079 doing interviews caz O Day radio program. Ross and I just banging through important 393 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:47.640 Goblin news this morning. See important Goblin news. Cricket, yes, the 394 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:52.480 sport. No, we still don't know how to play it, but apparently 395 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:57.319 we stuck it right in Pakistan's face yesterday, so a lot of people very 396 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:04.960 excited about that. And uh oh yeah, the president was over in Normandy 397 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:14.920 trying to run away from the French president, getting getting down onto the lower 398 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.920 beach road there where if you ever go to visit any of that area, 399 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:30.240 remember it was the the the landing. The beaches that that the Allies decided 400 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.920 to take were more than just the ones that the US was involved with, 401 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.599 the Canadians, the Brits, any of it. There was a whole host 402 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:45.759 of beaches, a whole host of fascinating interesting stories that frankly, I saw 403 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.240 one of those men on the street things where they were asking people under the 404 00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:54.480 age basically college age, what what D Day was? And oh boy, 405 00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:02.599 so you know that exists out there, and I'm so glad that we see 406 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:10.720 it highlighted. Obviously extra extra highlight this time around, because we love numeracle, 407 00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:17.599 we love round numbers when celebrating anniversaries, so that's fine. Unfortunately, 408 00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:21.799 I'm sitting there and I'm trying to get a scope of, you know, 409 00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:25.920 everything that's going on, how this event go. There's a lot, a 410 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:30.559 lot of pageant, a lot of ceremony. Sometimes it's the President, sometimes 411 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:37.799 it's first Ladies. Sometimes it's this weird Camilla, you know, yes, 412 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:44.920 that Camilla and the French First Lady try wanting to hold hands but not wanting 413 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:49.200 to hold hands, and some weird things like there's there's all there's the there's 414 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.440 the reason that you're there, and then there's all the ancillary stuff that happens 415 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.119 and instead, well, I'm trying to digest little bits that are going on. 416 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.599 Everything is just Biden pooped himself and I don't know, I just kind 417 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:06.599 of lost my crap yesterday, no pun intended, but I understand it's there, 418 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.679 so uh, with that in mind, was it a good look? 419 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:17.320 No? No, And there's things that are just unnecessary to have him do. 420 00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.199 That's the other part of this. It's like some of its unforced air 421 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:27.480 stuff. I don't know, maybe the big maybe it's like a big reverse 422 00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:34.599 psychological thing. So now I'm more upset with the fact that Twitter is, 423 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:39.280 uh the the former news accounts on Twitter have become echo chambers and they're all 424 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:45.719 fine with that. And then I don't know, maybe I spend less time 425 00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.559 breaking down what matters, but I didn't because that's where we went first. 426 00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:54.280 And I would encourage you to look at it and ask yourself if if that's 427 00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:01.199 the best look for the US, And then remember that anything that was said 428 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:09.079 by Donald Trump over there turned into the Atlantic story. Remember right, it 429 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:20.440 was during Trump's visit and the cancelation of one event that was it was supposed 430 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.239 to be an outdoor event, and then obviously it was gonna pour it. 431 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.960 They were gonna pour rain, and Trump did not take part in one event 432 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.199 out of like eighteen and then he hated the troops, and then the Atlantic 433 00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:35.639 piece came out where he was telling everyone I was there that they're losers and 434 00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.239 suckers. And then that's where we get that. And of course there's nobody's 435 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:43.360 ever on the record as being the source on that. It's anonymous. Even 436 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.039 though the writer said that he would, he would, you know, have 437 00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:52.559 receipts. No receipts ever emerged. But it became one of the off repeated 438 00:35:52.599 --> 00:36:01.400 talking points the good people on both sides suckers and losers, if if if 439 00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:07.039 they're willing to do that level of analysis and really hit Jobbery over there, 440 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:15.280 and the conservative pundits on Twitter think it's funny that it's it's far funnier in 441 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:19.639 a serious manner. I just want to point this as one thing. If 442 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.320 you want to make a meme, and it's clear you all, you know, 443 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.679 oh, shouldn't trust a fart, you know, something like that, 444 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.440 right, But that's not what was going on. People were serious, and 445 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:36.239 then when you're serious, you're not serious because you're not serious about the things 446 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:42.800 that are important that stick, that that will resonate with people, because within 447 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:47.360 a half second, if people research that video more, they lose. You 448 00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:52.400 lose all your credibility. Not that the dude who wrote the article in The 449 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:58.960 Atlantic with that had credibility, but within the sphere he's hoping to influence, 450 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:04.760 he did, and it was influential enough that now every lawmaker in wanting to 451 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:08.119 insult Donald Trump on the military front because there, you know, their records 452 00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:15.280 sucks so much. That's their go to. All Right, I promise I'm 453 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:20.880 done ranting about that, but you get it, You get where the frustration 454 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.239 lies. All right, let me pivot over some other stuff and I'll lose 455 00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:27.840 my mind on that for a while. Okay, all right, very good. 456 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:36.559 So a long road to apparently get where we're going to be going with 457 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.840 this. I'm referring, of course, to the parade rules in the city 458 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:46.000 of Raleigh, right, so jump back with me. Twenty twenty two Raleigh 459 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:53.800 Christmas Parade. Eleven year old Haley Brooks was struck and killed by a truck 460 00:37:53.880 --> 00:38:00.480 while dancing, as you know, in the parade. Following her death, 461 00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:15.760 the city of Raleigh moved to cancel future parades, and it was almost immediately 462 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:22.880 by her parents, an issue that became a passion project, and understandably so. 463 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:29.079 Where the family in their grieving, they took their time there, but 464 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:36.960 also they wanted to get proactive, and to do that they worked with lawmakers. 465 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:39.639 They worked with folks at the General Assembly, and what they attempted to 466 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:46.639 do was to craft a bill that had some parameters that if you wanted to 467 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:52.719 have a parade, these are the requirements you had to meet. And then 468 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:58.920 those parameters, cities could utilize them for permitting purposes, maybe throwing some of 469 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:04.920 their own stuff they wanted to, but there would be more stringent safety records, 470 00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:10.079 the age of drivers in parade settings, the age of vehicles, you 471 00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.360 know, the mechanical checks, insurance, liability, all of this stuff. 472 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:22.599 And I remember we went through the list. Seem mostly pretty reasonable. Some 473 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.920 of it I would need explain to me because of the technical side of it. 474 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:31.440 But the point was, like this was this was taking this tragedy and 475 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:36.760 attempting to do something with it, and then all of a sudden we get 476 00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:40.159 this weird. Nah, we're just gonna not let you do parades, or 477 00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:45.400 then we'll let you do them. But you can't have vehicles and stuff in 478 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:51.480 the parades, which obviously is you know, you have vehicles to pull, 479 00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:57.039 floats to pull, some large equipment, some pieces of equipment like old fire 480 00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:05.239 trucks and stuff, right are hallmarks of parades. And it was it was 481 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.280 presented in a manner, and I think this is important to remember. It 482 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:10.880 was presented in a manner, and we immediately called it out here on the 483 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:20.360 show that the cancelation of the Raleigh Christmas Parade was somehow what the family wanted, 484 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:24.360 and it clearly wasn't, and it was. It was one of these 485 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:34.559 scumbaggiest things you could do as a politician is to take your unpopular position. 486 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.559 One I still cannot wrap my head around you wanting to make right where you're 487 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:43.719 just like, hey, you know what, maybe tomorrow let's cancel Christmas parade. 488 00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.880 Huh yeah, yeah, they'll love that. But to take an unpopular 489 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:55.599 position like that, an attempt to hang it on the family of a dead 490 00:40:55.760 --> 00:41:01.320 eleven year old girl, was horrific and I and we called it out, 491 00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:07.559 and we called it out so much that it became obvious that they were responding 492 00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.760 to that. The mayor of Raleigh was responding to that because I hope she 493 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:19.119 heard about it from everybody. Yo, I can't believe you just did that. 494 00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.400 You need to say something. So then they tried to soft pedal it, 495 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.000 and then they came up with this whole no vehicles, We're gonna slow 496 00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:31.840 roll this, and the whole thing was baffling and frustrating and scummy and nasty 497 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:36.639 and not at all what Christmas is supposed to be about, whether you celebrated 498 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:40.119 from the religious perspective of the non religious. It ain't it, chief, 499 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:47.679 And we've expended a lot of energy on this for it to now end up 500 00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:52.440 here. Vehicles may be allowed again in the Raleigh Christmas Parade and other Raleigh 501 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:58.480 parades. Remember the Veterans Parade was impacted, and there was one other they 502 00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:00.199 were permitting. I can't remember what it was, but so it's not just 503 00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:07.239 a Christmas parade. But vehicles may be allowed again in the Raleigh Christmas Parade, 504 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:12.320 according to recommendations by city staff. Oh that was the other folks they 505 00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:19.400 tried to blame too. Sorry, I got to move forward or I'll just 506 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:25.320 backtrack into infinity with these people. Let's see here. On Thursday, a 507 00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:32.400 city spokesman for Let's See City spokesman said that special Events staff met with parade 508 00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:39.719 organizers to review the city's protocol surrounding motor rise parades. Oh okay. Among 509 00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:45.480 the new recommendations that will be shared with the city council next week, staff 510 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:52.480 will recommend allowing vehicles to return to the events. The recommendations would come with 511 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:58.679 safety checks within thirty days of the event, assessments of the vehicles, breaks, 512 00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:02.119 tires, lights, horn, the missions, registration, you name it 513 00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:06.760 here. Let me save you the read. Ninety nine point nine percent of 514 00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:13.800 what I'm reading here are exactly exactly what the family was looking for. But 515 00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:24.320 also we're specifically included in the Raleigh Christmas Parade proposal that was eighty six, 516 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:34.679 right, So the parade organizers themselves suggested they implement this stuff. So now 517 00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:42.760 here we are a year later and your overlords within the city, you're going 518 00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:44.880 to go, hey, you know what, we looked at it, and 519 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:47.679 here's what we think we should you know, should happen. Because this is 520 00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:52.880 what we do. We're so good at this. We got all the answers, 521 00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:58.320 and here is exactly the thing that everyone said they wanted to do, 522 00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:02.719 and we said it and canceled the parade over like that is what is so 523 00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:07.760 frustrating about this. This all, this is, this is all exactly how 524 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:15.480 it would be if that proposal had just been accepted. Everybody went about their 525 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.920 business with the new parameters, the new safety stuff. They never would have 526 00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:24.840 missed the parade. There never would have been this controversy. And it's it. 527 00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:30.000 It is a capper to one of the dumbest non issues that became an 528 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:37.280 issue I've ever seen in the in the world of unforced airs and unnecessary bureaucratic 529 00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:44.159 hold ups. And that is exactly what this is looking like it'll be. 530 00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.480 And it is exactly as I predicted. I said, this is where we'd 531 00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:52.480 end up. This is where we're going to end up and to this day, 532 00:44:52.599 --> 00:45:00.000 and I just I have to know whatever it is, I have to 533 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:07.559 know what was the goal was? What were you wanting to accomplish? Mayor 534 00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:12.519 and council members And yeah, that's right, you council members who sat there 535 00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:22.440 too and did nothing. What was the goal here? To irritate as many 536 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:27.800 people as possible? And then accomplish nothing. I so what was it? 537 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:32.280 Because some people speculate it was this weird crackdown that we saw in some cities 538 00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:38.760 where they just didn't like Christmas parades. They wanted holiday or seasoned greetings or 539 00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:44.639 you know, one of these other softer words that they use in many cases, 540 00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:47.639 like in the city of raleighs to change something that has been called something 541 00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:54.159 for eighty years and is clearly not religious, core religious thing. If you've 542 00:45:54.199 --> 00:46:00.840 ever been to the Christmas parade, no, you know what it was. 543 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.519 It was a flex that's my guess. It was a flex. Hey, 544 00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.400 we're the ones in charge. We're gonna do what we're gonna do. What 545 00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:15.039 do you think of that? Which is the pettiest of reasons, If in 546 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:22.320 fact that's what it was. I guess the timeline they're gonna present it next 547 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:29.880 week, and if approved within the current timeline, then it should allow parades, 548 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:35.840 the current crop of veterans and Christmas and others to go ahead and get 549 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:42.639 their certification and get working on their respective parades. But not before we did 550 00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:45.480 all this dumb We did all this dumbness. I don't know why we we're 551 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:53.559 gonna do all this and come out exactly the same. It is. It 552 00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:58.440 is just the dumbest stuff on the planet. All right, coming up, 553 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:01.760 we got to we got to update you on the story out of Texas. 554 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.800 If you guys like antiquing, you're not gonna want to miss this, okay. 555 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:20.559 And a streamer is in a little bit of hot water for I don't 556 00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:24.039 know something I think the founding fathers probably could have envisioned. We'll give you 557 00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:29.800 that story, and Pete Calender joins us at eight oh five phone number eight 558 00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:34.519 eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Hang on to that and 559 00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.840 we'll be back here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Ross's right, do 560 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:45.519 the live the live read right the promo copy? Okay, all right, 561 00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:50.760 I just want to make normal because normally we don't do the do the live 562 00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:53.880 read here. Let me go ahead and do this all right, Sorry, 563 00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:59.000 but hey, we got to pay the bills to so eighty years ago today, 564 00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:05.719 thousands of Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy. But 565 00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.320 this November, all you have to do is tune in to the Haze for 566 00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:15.960 Sheriff Twitch Channel today's sponsor. There we go. So did that feel scummy? 567 00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:22.280 Because that should have felt scummy. See what happened there is somebody took 568 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:36.639 what happened eighty years ago and is arguably one of the most important historical events 569 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:46.159 that feeds into the current status makeup, geo political setup of the world in 570 00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:55.039 which we live. Okay, right, things could be so fundamentally different if 571 00:48:55.119 --> 00:49:01.599 not for the just the the insanity of it. Your copy would be in 572 00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:07.960 German, yes, yes, it would. You know, it would be 573 00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:14.599 man in high Castle esque at the very least, might be in Japanese. 574 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:21.039 I'm just saying so, don't know. And and this whole exercise is not 575 00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:27.760 to promote Ross's twitch channel. He would never use what happened in Normandy to 576 00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:32.199 do that. It is to highlight the absurdity of Hillary Clinton doing that yesterday. 577 00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:37.239 And she wasn't the only one. Now. Actually, what she wrote 578 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:43.800 is eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on 579 00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:49.320 the shores of Normandy this November. All we have to do is vote. 580 00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:55.519 I e. Hey, you know your grandfather and his seventeen year old buddies. 581 00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:59.599 All they had to do is try to storm those pill boxes on the 582 00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:05.519 beach of Omaha and uh and and many didn't even make it to the beach 583 00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:09.679 because they they exited the landing craft trying to dive away from the hail of 584 00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:14.960 bullets, and the equipment that they were wearing even drug them down, as 585 00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:20.559 as the rest. We were cut through and in one of the bloodiest days 586 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:27.559 of fighting in modern war. But all you gotta do is just don't vote 587 00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:32.239 for Trump Man. And then to put that out on on on the anniversary, 588 00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:37.599 just the goal, and then to turn the comments off on top of 589 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:44.480 it. Oh, it'll make it, just make your head explode every day 590 00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:46.880 with something new, And maybe that's the goal. Maybe they've determined the only 591 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:51.360 way that they're going to salvage this is to make us all be that dude 592 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:57.559 on stage and the movie Scanners. Well, what I mean, what's the 593 00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:01.559 what's the other alternative day? Watching that yesterday? And I know that this 594 00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:07.199 turns into a tired conversation, but every day I am more and more convinced 595 00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:14.760 there is zero chance that we see Joe Biden and Donald Trump on a debate 596 00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:22.480 stage, and there is quickly approaching a zero percent chance that Joe Biden is 597 00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:29.719 the Democrat nominee on the ballot in November. You're gonna have to help me 598 00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:34.320 out here how we're going to get there. And that's a problem. That's 599 00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:38.800 a problem for Republicans. You know, a lot of people think they're gonna, 600 00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:45.639 you know, stick try to get a Michelle Obama on there, and 601 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:50.559 that's a thing that could happen, and that's h you know, and maybe 602 00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:55.199 it's too far gone for that to work, but that could alleviate some folks. 603 00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:01.519 But every day are more convinced that at least one, if not both 604 00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:07.280 of those things are are are true. The debate stuff. I still there's 605 00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:13.360 no way I see that happening. And maybe I'm wrong. It's fine. 606 00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:15.280 I'm not always right. The debates happen, they're going to have to have 607 00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:20.159 them so jacked up on uppers, Dude, I have to come in with 608 00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:22.440 an IV. Yeah, but it would be to the point where it would 609 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:27.480 be so obvious that it's now injurious. I mean it was obvious during the 610 00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:32.000 State of the Union, though, it was, but there was enough side 611 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.719 you know, there's enough side stuff going on. You know, people with 612 00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:44.280 the with their fake balloons they're carrying around and screaming stuff. And you're right, 613 00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:46.559 especially if they want it to be the way they have it set up 614 00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:51.039 and no audience, no audience, and you're it. You're the only show 615 00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:55.360 in town on the debate stage. I don't get it. If anything, 616 00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:59.159 you'd want to hold that thing in the middle of you know, like a 617 00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.440 soccer riot, right, because you'd be like, well, look, he 618 00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:07.159 was distracted by the soccer rioters, right, So you know you can't you 619 00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:12.280 can't judge what was going on, but you're you're eliminating all the other side 620 00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:15.639 stuff. Hey, the only thing you're going to be left with is, 621 00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:22.920 holy hell, that guy's in charge of something absolutely wild. Speaking of wild, 622 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:25.519 how many of you, especially this time of the year, right when 623 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:31.119 we're back in the you know, the traditional North Carolina bust out, do 624 00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:34.559 something for the weekend, go to the beach, go to the mountains. 625 00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:37.159 Kind of season. Great season around North Carolina, so many cool places to 626 00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:43.639 explore. How many of you liked to antique? Well, guy down in 627 00:53:43.679 --> 00:53:52.280 Texas, who also was a kilt enthusiast, found himself at the center of 628 00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:58.599 a story we talked about when it initially happened. Here was the allegation. 629 00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.639 Basically, a dude in a kilt, big dude too. He's like six 630 00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:08.360 ' six six' seven, this is in Houston, rolled into a couple 631 00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:16.480 of different antique stores and uh, according to well, store clerks proceeded to 632 00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:24.960 grab various small antiques and smuggle them or shoplift them, or attempt to. 633 00:54:28.119 --> 00:54:30.800 And he didn't have pockets on the kilt, I say, like a Duffel 634 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:36.159 bag or some He did not have a duffel bag. In fact, he 635 00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:39.840 was one of the very slightly dressed here support backpacks or some. No, 636 00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:44.920 he's clearly clearly not wearing a background like a plastic bag like from Target or 637 00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:47.519 whatever. I don't know what was under his kilt. I just know stuff 638 00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:58.199 was disappearing there. Ah and uh. When confronted, explained to the explaining 639 00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:01.440 of the officers, he did not know how a hold on. Let me 640 00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:07.559 give you the list. An antique bottle opener, a tobacco tent can. 641 00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:13.800 What else did he have here? Was it a small it's like a small 642 00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:19.400 vase looking thing, a makeup brush kit all ended up basically in his prison 643 00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:24.000 wallet. Everything is bigger in Texas, yes, including the storage space and 644 00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:30.159 an antique bottle opener. How many sharp edges are on that? So? 645 00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:35.880 Yeah, according to police, vest that's the guy's name, visited one store 646 00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:42.440 and where he acquired the makeup brush kit and the small vase, put them 647 00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:45.920 there, and then I guess there was a second there's a couple of these 648 00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:50.079 little antique stores right next to each other. Then went to the next store, 649 00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:53.440 and that's where he acquired the tobacco tent can, the antique bottle opener. 650 00:55:54.440 --> 00:56:00.360 Toerty say, he placed them directly into his storage unit underneath the green 651 00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:07.599 kilt. However, then returned the items to the shelf. And don't know 652 00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:13.239 if it's because he thought, Oh, I wonder if they saw me do 653 00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:21.440 that. But according to these store folks, the items were tainted and I 654 00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:23.840 had to be disposed of. And then I and then that was the day 655 00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:28.719 we figured out that that was what Bettina was. Maybe because I don't know. 656 00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:32.119 I've watched The American Pickers a couple times. They used the term antiques 657 00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:36.559 road show. They loved the term. So, dear God, I hope 658 00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:43.360 that's not what it actually is. Well, here's your update. Apparently he 659 00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:47.320 did steal them. Yes, yes, he's now decided to plead and said 660 00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:51.599 that he did in fact put the items there, but did not intend to 661 00:56:51.639 --> 00:57:00.679 steal them, just try them out. I guess I don't know. Is 662 00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:04.800 that like, is that like eating a grape in the produce section? Just 663 00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:07.599 one, just because you want to see how the grapes taste. But technically 664 00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:10.840 it's stealing. I don't know. But that's good because there's too many of 665 00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:15.639 these stories where people are like, oh, no, I don't know how 666 00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:20.480 the and then insert whatever horrific object it is, I don't know how that 667 00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:24.599 got there. Well, it turns out that sometimes they do, in fact 668 00:57:24.679 --> 00:57:30.960 know how it got there. So yeah, by the way, dudes rich 669 00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:36.159 too, which is kind of crazy in this story. So this is this 670 00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:43.519 is not him stealing defeat his family. This is his jam, which what 671 00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:46.400 must his wife think? Right, he's getting ready to leave, He's wearing 672 00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:51.440 that kilt. It's clear there's nothing underneath. Wife's like, what are you 673 00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:53.239 doing? He's like, I'm going antiquing, Like she has to assume he's 674 00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:59.920 cheating on her, right, but he wasn't. Well, unless you consider 675 00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:06.400 an seek can openers something you can cheat with. So there you go. 676 00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:09.400 Update to that fun story seven forty five. Let's get an update to your 677 00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:14.199 weather. Jeff maher here, Hey, Jeff's what's going on today? Sir, 678 00:58:14.760 --> 00:58:16.519 looking good, looking good. As far as the weekend forecast, I 679 00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:20.760 know you're happy to hear that. So yeah, it usually Ray screws it 680 00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:24.039 up with rain. Well, we're getting rain, should be we should hold 681 00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:27.559 off until Sunday night. So I think most of the weekend's going to shape 682 00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:30.239 up to be very nice if you have some outdoor activities lined up, and 683 00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:32.079 certainly nice today as you make your way out drive this morning. A Sunday 684 00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:36.440 afternoon, eventually up to eighty nine for the high with a light reason from 685 00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:39.119 the west and clear overnight as we drop to sixty three around eighty seven for 686 00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:43.559 a high. Tomorrow will be another Sunday afternoon, a Sunday, breezy Sunday 687 00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:45.880 with a high climbing in the low nineties. Then a few showers and thunderstorms 688 00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:51.400 may develop on Sunday night before dryer weather into Monday afternoon. Okay, all 689 00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:53.320 right, we'll talk one more time in an hour, sir, Thank you, 690 00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:57.639 you got all right? There you go. Jeff Maher from the Weather 691 00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:00.400 Channel. Reminder, Pete calendar, he's coming up. He'll join us in 692 00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:06.320 about twenty minutes. In the interim, I got a couple quick stories. 693 00:59:06.360 --> 00:59:10.119 We got to chat about, including a oh mission impossible reference. Don't want 694 00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:14.280 to miss it. It's next hang on. Yeah, we got Pete calender, 695 00:59:14.679 --> 00:59:20.440 he'll calender, he'll kick off the next hour with us. But first, 696 00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:24.159 a couple of other things I got to tell you about how bad is 697 00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:29.480 it getting in Oakland? Well, let me give you a little backstory and 698 00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:34.239 then i'll give you the current story. So we had about a month ago. 699 00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:39.679 Two months ago, you had remember the in and out burger that closed. 700 00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:44.639 They made the decision we're done. It was the first time they had 701 00:59:44.679 --> 00:59:50.039 literally closed an in and out burger. It was a big deal. And 702 00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:58.960 the reason was people were getting robbed at the drive through every time they went 703 00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:02.800 to the drive through, so people would go, they'd want to get a 704 01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:09.800 burger. They ended up closing the inside of the restaurant first, right because 705 01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:15.920 they were, you know, robbing the restaurant. And then they made it 706 01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:20.559 purely a drive through. So what did thieves do? They just waited for 707 01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:24.159 folks who are now because you're you're kind of encumbered in most drive throughs, 708 01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:28.559 right once you've you know, you know a lot of drive throughs. Once 709 01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:31.639 you've made that turn into the order window between there and getting out. A 710 01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:35.440 lot of times you're not in a position to be able to get your vehicle 711 01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:38.920 out, especially if they got one of those uh like the like the McDonald's, 712 01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:45.679 Uh the McDonald's closest to my house has Once you've made that turn, 713 01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:52.119 they have like a they have a concrete wall on the right side of you 714 01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:55.039 as well, So you got the building and the windows on the left, 715 01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:58.920 but they have it on the right as well, And it's just because of 716 01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.440 the way it butts up on the property line there. I remember, once 717 01:01:01.519 --> 01:01:04.599 you're in that, you're in there. I used to drive like a piece 718 01:01:04.599 --> 01:01:07.039 of crap car and it was always terrified that it would die in the drive 719 01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:10.719 It like the drive what do you do? Then? No, you just 720 01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:14.800 you get out. You literally like my car is dead and everyone still hates 721 01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:16.400 you, right, and you still got to deal with it. So so 722 01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:20.840 thieves saw this and they were just like we got them, and then they 723 01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:22.800 would just rob people in the drive through. So in an outside we're done 724 01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:28.039 right, okay. And then a week after they closed, middle of the 725 01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:34.119 day, a news crew showed up to do a story about that because now 726 01:01:34.159 --> 01:01:37.239 they had the information as to why they closed it and they're they're literally setting 727 01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:40.320 up and what do you think happened? They robbed the news crew, Of 728 01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:45.000 course they did, and they beat the crap out of two of them. 729 01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:51.159 So just h all right, So new problem. Also, the City of 730 01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:53.199 Oakland, like any other city, you gotta you gotta, you gotta take 731 01:01:53.239 --> 01:01:57.719 care of the roads. That involves, you know, stripping them down, 732 01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:01.039 repaving them, fixing potholes, doing all the stuff. Well, now, 733 01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:07.679 contractors in East Oakland say they're done. In fact, several paving projects which 734 01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:15.000 are already underway, sit abandoned after Cruise decided it wasn't financially worth it, 735 01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:21.000 even though they had contracted with the city. Contractor and worker union reps saying 736 01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:25.639 the city is not doing enough to provide a safe working environment because their road 737 01:02:25.719 --> 01:02:36.159 crews keep getting robbed while they're repaving the roads. So they just walked and 738 01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:39.559 there's a whole lot more there. But that's you know, that's the gist 739 01:02:39.639 --> 01:02:45.559 that you need right there. And now they're in negotiations to try to figure 740 01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:47.320 out, well, what are we going to do? I don't know, 741 01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:57.199 maybe there's you know, where they're working. Maybe you have a few cops 742 01:02:57.239 --> 01:03:01.000 over there that do something or are enabled to do something I should say, 743 01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:07.079 I don't even want to put it on the patrol officers. You've scared off 744 01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:15.760 construction workers and if they're not being robbed. One crew has currently had to 745 01:03:15.800 --> 01:03:22.920 stop work twice due to drive bys that took place within the construction zone, 746 01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:29.000 which is pretty crazy. You do six over in a construction zone in North 747 01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:31.440 Carolina, they'll damn near take your license. Oakland, you could do a 748 01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:37.599 drive by wild times man, And speaking of wild times, is anything real? 749 01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:45.000 In China? Fresh off faking red pandas a few other things, it's 750 01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:52.000 now come to light that the tallest waterfall under interrupted waterfall in China called judent 751 01:03:52.119 --> 01:04:00.480 Thai Mountain, which was said to be a one thousand foot drops and foot 752 01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:03.280 high. In fact, the photos are crazy cool looking. I mean, 753 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:06.920 it's just absolutely beautiful. If you're into waterfalls, it's a it's a very 754 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:13.480 nice looking one. Well, somebody climbed it, you're not supposed to, 755 01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:20.639 and they determined that it is not in fact a natural waterfall. It's a 756 01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:29.400 pipe that is installed one thousand feet up a cliff side that they just pump 757 01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:33.400 water through to create a tourist attraction. To digest the week. That was 758 01:04:33.519 --> 01:04:39.440 we welcome in our radio buddy to the South Pete calendar Middays WBT Pete. 759 01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:41.960 How you doing, buddy? Hey, I'm doing all right. How are 760 01:04:41.960 --> 01:04:45.199 you, Kasey? I'm pretty good. You know, I have my little 761 01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:49.960 roundabout of North Carolina TV stations and newspapers. I'm sure you do too, 762 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:54.039 where you just kind of check on the regular, make sure you got all 763 01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:59.280 the news for your show. Right. Yeah, And I'm noticing something down 764 01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:01.559 the Shark Way. I feel like I nagged in on this. Can we 765 01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:06.760 come down and I'll what we'll do is you get a station vehicle. I'll 766 01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:13.639 get a station vehicle. And I want to what a station one of your 767 01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:16.639 one of your station vehicles. You guys have station vehicles there at your radio 768 01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:24.559 station that you use for like promotions and appearance and stuff. Yeah, we'll 769 01:05:24.599 --> 01:05:27.840 say sure, okay, yeah, we'll go with yes. Well, I 770 01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:33.239 don't this is this is the easy part. Well, well it's difficult because 771 01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:35.639 as a you know, a news talk station, I can tell you we 772 01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:40.880 we we did have two vehicles that were news gathering vehicles. I used to 773 01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:44.760 drive them when I was a reporter twenty years ago. Right, they don't 774 01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:46.800 run anymore. No, they don't run anymore. All right, Well, 775 01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:51.639 promotions may have one. I don't know. Oh right, I think they've 776 01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:56.880 got like one van for all of the stations. Van's gonna be great. 777 01:05:56.920 --> 01:06:00.280 All right, Okay, here's the deal. Grab whatever you want. I 778 01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:02.920 want to I didn't know you could do this in the city of Charlotte. 779 01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:08.519 I'm really I want to take over an intersection and just do downuts. So 780 01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:13.800 yeah, that's a thing. Huh. Apparently so well, a couple of 781 01:06:13.880 --> 01:06:15.719 years if it well, maybe now like five or six, maybe ten. 782 01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:20.880 How to remember it used to be cruising. People used to get in their 783 01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:26.880 cars and yeah they would they would drive really really really slowly through the center 784 01:06:27.119 --> 01:06:32.320 of uptown Charlotte. And apparently that has now been replaced with the quote unquote 785 01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:39.199 takeovers, where a whole bunch of people coordinate on social media. They gather 786 01:06:40.039 --> 01:06:43.599 usually a very large intersection, you know, in the horror of uptown, 787 01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:45.400 when you've got like three or four lanes coming in in each direction, so 788 01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:53.079 it's a really fat, wide intersection, and then they just start doing burnouts 789 01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.519 they call them, you know, where they squeal their tires and burn rubber, 790 01:06:56.559 --> 01:07:00.480 and then they doughnuts all over the place. Although there is I saw 791 01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:03.679 that down in Florida, there is a real risk. I mean not aside 792 01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:08.679 from like the you know injuring people or you know, destroying public property or 793 01:07:08.719 --> 01:07:12.920 anything like that or wrecking your cars. All that's not a problem. The 794 01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:17.360 real issue, though, is down in Florida they had a rainbow painted on 795 01:07:17.639 --> 01:07:25.400 the crosswalk for ye evil young person in a black pick them up truck. 796 01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:29.920 Yeah, yeah, I saw that. Yeah, they did the burnouts on 797 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:38.039 the on the rainbow on the intersection on the road. I mean, yes, 798 01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:42.000 it's road in the thoroughfare, right, so they and but they did, 799 01:07:42.079 --> 01:07:46.199 but they did it on top of the painted rainbow. And which by 800 01:07:46.239 --> 01:07:48.519 the way, I object to the idea that that's a mural. It's not 801 01:07:48.599 --> 01:07:53.679 a mural. It's just paint right on the road. It's just especially yeah, 802 01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:57.400 it's just it's just like a series of lines. They're just different colors, 803 01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:00.000 just like a crosswalk has lines, right, but they're just different colors. 804 01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:02.559 So whatever, and not a mule. So they did the burnouts and 805 01:08:02.639 --> 01:08:08.360 now they're like wanted on like felony, hate crime charges or something down in 806 01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:13.039 Florida. So we don't have that law as I understand it here in North 807 01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:17.239 Carolina. But I thought that that could be a solution for the city and 808 01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:21.640 the police who are trying to crack down on this kind of behavior. And 809 01:08:23.439 --> 01:08:28.159 if we just painted every single intersection with some sort of you know, appropriate 810 01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:34.960 intersectionality logo, then you raise the you raise the punishments. You know. 811 01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:40.119 Well, can I, oh, I hate to do this. Can I 812 01:08:40.279 --> 01:08:44.680 point out a little flaw on your logic? I mean, is there one 813 01:08:45.039 --> 01:08:47.119 a right? Well, you tell me. Let me. Let me offer 814 01:08:47.119 --> 01:08:53.760 it up. What I'm seeing when it comes to these takeovers, which by 815 01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:56.640 the way, I've seen quite a few of them where people like to play 816 01:08:56.680 --> 01:09:00.520 tag with cars. I assume that's what they're doing. Yeah they're cars. 817 01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:04.960 Yeahs back end of the car slides around and just slams a dude into uh 818 01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:13.720 next Wednesday. I've noticed they don't want to break those up or they wouldn't 819 01:09:13.840 --> 01:09:18.800 last for hours, right, wouldn't that be the case? So if you 820 01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:24.840 already for whatever reason, and it's not just in the city of Charlotte, 821 01:09:24.880 --> 01:09:29.279 but like you see these takeovers in places, and these they go on for 822 01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:35.399 a long time. Right, there's a hundred plus people in some instances, 823 01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:41.920 the ones in like Stockton, Oakland area are bonkers. And if you, 824 01:09:42.159 --> 01:09:45.119 for whatever reason don't want to go in there and actually make a rest and 825 01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:48.880 enforce the law and stop people from doing that, then adding an extra piece 826 01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:54.800 in there almost seems like overkilled. Do you know what I'm saying? If 827 01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:57.520 if, if you don't want to bust in the first place, it doesn't 828 01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:00.920 it doesn't. It doesn't matter how many laws you don't charge them with, 829 01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:05.439 is the point that I'm making. If you don't charge them, well that's 830 01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:11.159 fair. But so state the state lawmakers made and made an adjustment that the 831 01:10:11.239 --> 01:10:16.319 Charlotte Mecklenburg Police asked for, which was now they can take your car and 832 01:10:17.720 --> 01:10:24.359 so asset forfeiture, like hello, these are you know these are hot rods. 833 01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:29.840 I'm thinking now they want to take the cars. This might incentivize more 834 01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:34.119 Charlotte. Yeah. Well, Charlotte Mecklbert police they they have made this a 835 01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:38.159 priority targeting this kind of behavior. They really have. They've been trying to 836 01:10:38.199 --> 01:10:42.720 crack down on it. Unfortunately, these things they pop up very quickly and 837 01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:45.520 they're very far away from police headquarters, like three or four blocks, so 838 01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:50.880 they can't ever get there in time. And so they they've said they've made 839 01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:55.479 a priority and they have made some arrest although no can I think there was 840 01:10:55.560 --> 01:11:00.920 one guy who pleaded guilty so far all of the others either want to quittle 841 01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:03.399 or the DA's drop the charges. And and that's you know, that's the 842 01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:09.520 DNA side of the equation. What if they had faster cars to get from 843 01:11:09.640 --> 01:11:14.880 the police station to where it's going on, you know, three or four 844 01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:19.520 blocks away, right, speeding up response time. I don't know anytime. 845 01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:25.680 I but here's a problem. Anytime I hear asset forfeiture, I I get 846 01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:28.359 a little cringey. Man, So no, I do too. But like 847 01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:31.399 that's an incentive, you know for stepped up enforcement, is that you guys 848 01:11:31.640 --> 01:11:34.760 in the department could now get a whole bunch of sweet rides, you know, 849 01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:40.880 so that might that might prompt more, you know, more crackdown behavior. 850 01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:46.159 But here's what trigger though, What triggers what? Well? What what 851 01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:49.479 if you let's say you're running late to your show or whatever, and you 852 01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:51.800 do a little uh, you know, you get a little loose in the 853 01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:57.760 corner coming into work, and the cop just really wants to stick it to 854 01:11:57.840 --> 01:12:00.119 you. I mean feasibly could he be like, you know, technically you're 855 01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:03.279 doing this and now your vehicle's mine. Right, This is where I get 856 01:12:03.279 --> 01:12:06.760 nervous on the asset, profrac Yeah, No, I think there's got to 857 01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:11.199 be some some there's got to be like video. Well, first off, 858 01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:14.239 nobody's really getting convicted of it, so there's that. But the other is 859 01:12:14.239 --> 01:12:16.439 that, uh there. I think you've got to have some other elements at 860 01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:19.560 play, you know, in the trial, you would have to have some 861 01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:26.159 elements there, like a mob of people that all descended on an intersection at 862 01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:30.119 the same time, videotaping and so there's you know, video evidence of you 863 01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:33.640 just you know, spinning around in circles for a good thirty to forty five 864 01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:39.439 seconds that kind of thing. What about the ones that are not on the 865 01:12:39.439 --> 01:12:45.279 city streets, that are doing it in the damn interstate m because that's a 866 01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:48.920 thing, that's literally a thing that's happening. Yeah, So I think maybe 867 01:12:48.960 --> 01:12:54.880 the answer here is more drag strips. If we were just like when I 868 01:12:54.960 --> 01:12:59.039 was growing up, and not even when I was a kid, but when 869 01:12:59.039 --> 01:13:00.359 I was older, there were drag strips all over the place, and people 870 01:13:00.399 --> 01:13:03.560 would race on the drag strips. They would go down there and race cars 871 01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:08.159 and stuff. So maybe we do more of those, but I don't know, 872 01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:11.439 I don't know if you ever stopped this kind of behavior as long as 873 01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:15.399 you've got uh, you know, particularly young men that are able to get 874 01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:19.319 souped up cars, and young men have been able to do that since the 875 01:13:19.359 --> 01:13:23.520 car was invented. And so, I mean, I remember I grew up 876 01:13:23.560 --> 01:13:29.319 on Long Island. There's a road called Deer Park Avenue or the DPA whatever, 877 01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:33.079 and people would race on certain stretches of this road because it was long, 878 01:13:33.199 --> 01:13:39.119 flat, straight and uh two lanes wide and so and there was for 879 01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:41.319 some reason, I don't know who did it, but there was a line 880 01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:44.399 painted right across part of the road, and so you would see all these 881 01:13:44.439 --> 01:13:46.560 burnt you know, these you know, peel out marks, all these burnt 882 01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:50.479 rubber right around that line, and people would race from that line all the 883 01:13:50.479 --> 01:13:54.800 way to a stop stop light about you know, a mile or so up 884 01:13:54.800 --> 01:13:57.159 the road. Yeah, we had, we had. It was called the 885 01:13:57.239 --> 01:14:00.720 pipes for us. It was just out of town and it is these two 886 01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:06.399 massive the the pipes actually transport green oil. They're part of a larger pipeline 887 01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:12.239 system but here where that was. They actually go above the road and they 888 01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:17.279 are exactly three quarters of a mile apart, and so if somebody wanted to 889 01:14:17.359 --> 01:14:20.000 race, they go go to the pipes, Like like, I get that, 890 01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:25.439 but you took it out of town kind of things. So I I 891 01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:30.479 don't know, man, just crazy, But no, it didn't. There 892 01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:34.399 was some incidents anyway, can I can? I want to your your guys 893 01:14:34.479 --> 01:14:38.920 on the Twitter a lot, and I kind of lost my stuff yesterday. 894 01:14:39.680 --> 01:14:47.159 I'm getting I hate new Twitter. Why. I hate you know why because 895 01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:55.079 you have this this cabal of all of these the formerly were like pundits, 896 01:14:55.199 --> 01:14:57.920 right, you know, there were Twitter pundits that were on there. I 897 01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:00.159 don't want to say they were there for the love of the game, but 898 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:05.439 there there would be uniqueness in some variety. And now because of the way 899 01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:11.560 that you know, people want to monetize and I understand that, it's it's 900 01:15:11.760 --> 01:15:18.279 just it's the the echo chamber in the realm of breaking news is so thick, 901 01:15:18.439 --> 01:15:21.640 and it's so hard to kind of like manage your way out of there 902 01:15:21.680 --> 01:15:26.439 to try to find more unique stuff. Case in point, yesterday, I'm 903 01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:29.359 sitting down and I'm like, I want to go through and I want to 904 01:15:29.359 --> 01:15:33.079 see all of the little elements of the Normandy visit so I can figure out 905 01:15:33.119 --> 01:15:35.399 what I want to talk about on the show, what we want to pull 906 01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:45.159 audio from. And I can't because everybody who everybody wants to make Biden poop 907 01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:48.720 jokes okay, and the and that the problem is is if you watch a 908 01:15:48.880 --> 01:15:54.680 version of the video that's not the one that was reposted by the same conservative 909 01:15:54.680 --> 01:16:00.600 pundits a thousand times within like two minutes yesterday, you would term and that 910 01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:06.520 Joe Biden, clearly, while still being incredibly confused, did the thing that 911 01:16:06.680 --> 01:16:11.640 you've done or I've done where you go to sit down and your spouse is 912 01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:15.039 like, yeah, it's not time to sit yet, right, he did 913 01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:19.800 that thing. That thing is not the thing. The thing is him with, 914 01:16:20.319 --> 01:16:25.920 you know, running away from McCrone and like all the weirdness that was 915 01:16:25.960 --> 01:16:30.640 there and it all gets buried by stupid Biden poop stuff. And I don't 916 01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:34.399 know why it irritates me so much, but I don't feel it's as good 917 01:16:34.680 --> 01:16:41.960 of an environment for finding at least nuanced differences and stories. Don't get me 918 01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:46.159 wrong, it's far better on the censorship side, But don't I don't know. 919 01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:50.439 There's just something about it that SAPs my soul and my time. What 920 01:16:50.479 --> 01:16:57.439 do you think? So I gotta tell you I have largely been unaffected by 921 01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:01.239 all of the changes and the censorship and all of that. And I've been 922 01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:06.159 on Twitter since two thousand and nine. Yeah, I have been largely unaffected 923 01:17:06.199 --> 01:17:14.439 because I utilize a function that Twitter has available called lists. And if you 924 01:17:14.600 --> 01:17:19.479 create lists, then you get to mask a lot of the garbage that you're 925 01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:24.920 talking about. So for and by the way, you can subscribe to my 926 01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:28.960 list for free. You just you look at my profile and they'll say lists 927 01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:31.239 or whatever. You click on that and you'll see the lists I've created that 928 01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:34.119 are at least for public view. And one of the lists I have is 929 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:39.399 called Influence. And there's only about one hundred twenty or so people that are 930 01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:46.159 on that list and ross me and who else, Yeah, a bunch of 931 01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:51.159 other people. Totally, You're on the list, I'm sure. And so 932 01:17:51.399 --> 01:17:56.880 those are the And so then I have tweet deck, right, which is 933 01:17:57.560 --> 01:18:01.119 right, And so I can stack up these different columns and so I've got 934 01:18:01.119 --> 01:18:04.600 one for notifications, but more important to that, have one for that that 935 01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:10.239 influenced list. So that one's always moving North Carolina politics hashtag. Right, 936 01:18:10.279 --> 01:18:13.600 I have a list for that, So that's created in uh in the tweet 937 01:18:13.600 --> 01:18:16.600 deck, and so I see what I want to see, and now it's 938 01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:25.600 on me to uh populate my lists with enough of a broad stroke of enough 939 01:18:25.640 --> 01:18:29.680 people that I'm getting sort of an accurate read on what's occurring. So that's 940 01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:32.640 how I and that that that drives a lot of UH of how I go 941 01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:35.560 about starting research on a particular story. Because I saw, yes, I 942 01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:38.760 saw the poop jokes, but I only saw a couple of them. But 943 01:18:38.840 --> 01:18:41.239 I knew when I saw a couple of them, I knew, like, 944 01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:45.800 this is obviously all over the place among the cat turn brigade. You know, 945 01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:48.439 I have no doubt that this is what everybody is focusing on, even 946 01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:51.520 though it's very clear. Like you said, he goes to sit down because 947 01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:55.199 he knew he had to sit down, but he was a little early. 948 01:18:55.600 --> 01:19:01.359 And then Jill, sorry doctor Jill. Yeah, she does the thing where 949 01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:04.640 like you scratch the top of your lip under your nose to kind of map 950 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:08.239 the fact that you're telling him, hey, don't sit down right now, 951 01:19:08.640 --> 01:19:12.840 And so she does that and he kind of freezes, and then he stands 952 01:19:12.880 --> 01:19:14.520 up a little bit, and then he goes to sit down again, then 953 01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:18.039 he freezes, and then he finally sits down. So he was corrected. 954 01:19:18.079 --> 01:19:23.479 He had to sit down, he just didn't know exactly when. To me, 955 01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:26.479 the more troubling video with him getting out of the suv, yes, 956 01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:30.279 yes, that was disturbing. And anybody who has worked around people who are 957 01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:34.760 in cognitive decline, they've seen that. They have absolutely seen that behavior, 958 01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:39.800 and that's concerning. I saw people. We got just less than a minute, 959 01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:44.399 but I saw people say what he was responding to the mood of what 960 01:19:44.520 --> 01:19:48.119 he was looking at. And I have been exactly where he is, and 961 01:19:48.159 --> 01:19:54.399 it is powerful, right go in and visiting Normandy and all the stuff around. 962 01:19:54.439 --> 01:20:00.359 It is incredible. That wasn't it? Whatever that was was not I 963 01:20:00.640 --> 01:20:03.720 was. I was rendered speechless at times and it didn't look like that. 964 01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:08.520 Twice I got about fifteen seconds. I'm sorry to pinch you on this, 965 01:20:08.640 --> 01:20:15.720 but it's uh, it's very frustrating. It's frustrating. Yeah, it's frustrating, 966 01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:17.039 and I don't still do this day. I don't know how a debate's 967 01:20:17.079 --> 01:20:19.720 gonna happen, but we can parse that next week. All right, Pete, 968 01:20:19.760 --> 01:20:21.680 thank you very much, sir, Yeah, sir, have a great 969 01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:26.079 weekend, and Charlotte to the burnout session. Yeah yeah, yeah, it'll 970 01:20:26.119 --> 01:20:29.479 be fun. All right, Hang on, everybody, we will be right 971 01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:34.319 back. The flame thrower wielding robot murder Dog. Yeah, yes, right, 972 01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:40.520 we know what we're talking about. Obviously. These are discussions that we've 973 01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:44.720 had on this show before. It doesn't always have a flamethrower. Sometimes it 974 01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:49.119 has like an oozy and sometimes it's just gonna hunt you down. They had 975 01:20:49.119 --> 01:20:54.119 the one with like with a blender mouth on it. All right, anyway, 976 01:20:54.159 --> 01:21:01.159 but the flame thrower, the what is the actual name of it? 977 01:21:01.239 --> 01:21:14.039 Here we go throw flame therminator, the very first robot flame thrower Murder Dog 978 01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:19.319 is now on sale in the US. You can own one, that's right 979 01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:24.199 by the way. It is marketed as and I just want to be clear 980 01:21:24.279 --> 01:21:35.720 here and licensed as a agricultural management tool and a wildlife control tool. So 981 01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:41.760 it's just it's a farm and implement is all that it is, which you 982 01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:46.479 know, it's it's yes kind of you know. Controlled burns are a are 983 01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:53.840 a tool within the agricultural world. That is true. So I mean I 984 01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:58.439 can't argue, true, but I don't know if that's what dudes are buying 985 01:21:58.479 --> 01:22:02.239 this for. How much is it? Anyway? How much is I need 986 01:22:02.319 --> 01:22:09.399 to know? Why do you need? Very important? Okay, I have 987 01:22:09.439 --> 01:22:12.000 to admit I was a little surprised. Was a little surprised. First, 988 01:22:12.079 --> 01:22:14.119 let me tell you what it comes with, and then I'll tell you how 989 01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:17.680 much it is. It's quadruped, so you know, four legs, and 990 01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:30.039 it produces a thirty foot flame and is completely smartphone controllable roughly one hour of 991 01:22:30.119 --> 01:22:35.840 battery life, has light our mapping onboard camera which is then fed back to 992 01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:41.199 the app as part of your smart device. There, and I can do 993 01:22:41.239 --> 01:22:46.079 a hell of a lot of agricultural management work or wildlife control work, all 994 01:22:46.239 --> 01:22:53.720 for the low low price of nine thousand, four hundred and twenty dollars. 995 01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:58.960 What was it, nine thousand, four hundred and twenty dollars, four hundred 996 01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:02.039 and twenty what do you all? Right? So you know how he had 997 01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:06.279 the Hayes for Shriff Lambeau for the children Fund. Yes, yes, yeah, 998 01:23:06.760 --> 01:23:11.119 we had five hundred and sixty five dollars in that account. Wait I 999 01:23:11.159 --> 01:23:15.840 have now I've now divested the Hayes for shriff Lambeau for the Children Fund into 1000 01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:20.760 the Hayes for share of flamethrower robot dog for the Children Fund. It's it's 1001 01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:27.439 so excited. It's it's to protect the children. It's not one of the 1002 01:23:27.479 --> 01:23:31.399 listed reasons here. It's probably a licensing thing. You can't say, should 1003 01:23:31.439 --> 01:23:38.479 I put flame on on the the graphic? Should I put the flamethrower robodog 1004 01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:45.199 or robot dog? Well, technically it's called throw flame therminator is the name. 1005 01:23:45.319 --> 01:23:48.279 I think if somebody were to stumble across the graphic, they really wouldn't 1006 01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:53.840 understand what that is. Whereas if they see flamethrower robot dog, it's understandable 1007 01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:57.680 what that is, right, yeah, or flamethrower wielding robot dog or something. 1008 01:23:57.760 --> 01:24:00.439 Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm just I'm let people know 1009 01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:04.159 what the actual name of it is because if it's on sale and that's a 1010 01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:09.680 legit one, China's already got one on sale, I'm sure with some knockoff 1011 01:24:09.760 --> 01:24:12.520 names. I just want to be very clear. I'm I need to go 1012 01:24:12.680 --> 01:24:17.119 back to why is why is there five hundred and sixty dollars of donated money 1013 01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:23.520 in a Lambou fund when there was never going to be a lambo. Maybe 1014 01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:26.359 not for you, but for some of us there were there was a dream, 1015 01:24:27.079 --> 01:24:33.279 right, we were contributing to that dream. I see okay, and 1016 01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:41.039 now the dream is the kids want to see you what light? Intruders on 1017 01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:44.880 fire? I mean, what's the what is the where's the joy? Because 1018 01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:46.800 that was what the lambo was about with joy. So they'd see it drive 1019 01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:49.039 by and be like, wow, dreams come true for him, right, 1020 01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:51.479 So they's come true for me because he is a lambo. Say no. 1021 01:24:51.560 --> 01:24:55.479 They will see it parading through the neighborhood and they'll be like, I'm safe 1022 01:24:57.399 --> 01:25:01.319 as it burns the spiders the Kyle was talking about on the news that parachute 1023 01:25:01.359 --> 01:25:05.079 fifty feet onto your face. That's why you need Or they'll be walking down 1024 01:25:05.079 --> 01:25:08.520 the street and they'll see it, you know, like they'll be looking around 1025 01:25:08.560 --> 01:25:10.279 like, oh, look at all the houses and look at my porch and 1026 01:25:10.319 --> 01:25:13.119 be like, look at the flaming what is it? Yeah? Throw a 1027 01:25:13.199 --> 01:25:17.479 robot dog not going near that house. After you use it to lay waste 1028 01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:23.159 your enemies, you can use it to roast marshmallows, which I don't know 1029 01:25:23.159 --> 01:25:27.520 if you know this. Kids, kids lovesmores. Oh, my gosh. 1030 01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:33.199 Yeah, the URI, the UI, the guy, the better. Well, 1031 01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:39.520 I'm happy that you are contributing to the marketing and the think tank of 1032 01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:41.920 this endeavor. Are you going to run? Are you going to talk to 1033 01:25:41.960 --> 01:25:49.079 your wife before you go spend ten I'm not spending anything anything. I'm taking 1034 01:25:49.119 --> 01:25:57.600 donations though. Es I feel like like one day I'm going to get all 1035 01:25:57.720 --> 01:26:01.239 the subpoenas, just all of them, and they're gonna ask me to remember 1036 01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:04.319 so many things over the course of so many years. I'm not going to 1037 01:26:04.359 --> 01:26:08.159 be able to come up with all of it. So it'll be no more 1038 01:26:08.279 --> 01:26:11.720 lambo for the kids. It'll lane throw murder by the finale, like the 1039 01:26:11.720 --> 01:26:16.199 Seinfeld finale. Were they just going over all of its crimes? I guess 1040 01:26:16.439 --> 01:26:21.239 yes. I are you a little surprised. It's like the fact that it 1041 01:26:21.279 --> 01:26:25.399 was under ten K I was actually like, oh, yeah, completely. 1042 01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:28.560 I thought the number one was gonna be like super out there. Yeah yeah, 1043 01:26:29.000 --> 01:26:31.039 And that's you know, that's that's first year. You get some competition 1044 01:26:31.199 --> 01:26:34.119 in there, right, you get a few more of these, uh, 1045 01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:39.960 you know, being sold annually, so your production costs come down. It's 1046 01:26:41.399 --> 01:26:48.359 it's impressive and you can use it to light campfires in space if you're a 1047 01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:53.399 four hundred pound Jedi or whatever? What is go? What the hell did 1048 01:26:53.439 --> 01:26:56.960 you send me the other day? Yesterday? By the way, Pah, 1049 01:26:57.119 --> 01:27:00.720 it was a post a screenshot I saw of a new I guess character in 1050 01:27:00.760 --> 01:27:05.920 the Acolyte. That's one of the newest Jedi. That is an act. 1051 01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:11.439 That's I thought that was a joke. It's from the show. There's really 1052 01:27:11.479 --> 01:27:18.560 a Jedi, morbidly obese Jedi, and it's not it's not a hut you 1053 01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:21.840 like the job like job but no, no, no, no, it's 1054 01:27:23.000 --> 01:27:28.000 just it's just a fat kid from Canarsi or whatever that is supposed to be 1055 01:27:29.279 --> 01:27:33.039 Ah or Miss Alabama or what. I don't know what the hell is going 1056 01:27:33.079 --> 01:27:36.399 on. So all right, well there, I just want to I just 1057 01:27:36.439 --> 01:27:41.399 wanted to share the good news. And now we're into morbidly obese Jedi. 1058 01:27:41.720 --> 01:27:45.880 Can they still fly around with ease like we learned Yoda could? And the 1059 01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:50.640 weird second update movie was that a little That was a little jarring watching him 1060 01:27:50.640 --> 01:27:55.319 flip around to the rate that he did. But also that makes sense. 1061 01:27:55.520 --> 01:28:01.079 I don't know if I'm buying Butterbean doing it, but I don't know. 1062 01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:05.720 I guess if you're filled with the force, you can and and canoli or 1063 01:28:05.840 --> 01:28:11.279 whatever. So all right, so you got that, well you know what, 1064 01:28:11.439 --> 01:28:15.079 ross this is gonna shoot holes in uh you being able to recreate this. 1065 01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:24.119 YouTuber alex Choi is facing federal charges after uploading the video showing two women 1066 01:28:24.279 --> 01:28:30.560 shooting fireworks out of a helicopter at a lambo. Well, it's a good 1067 01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:33.000 thing I got out of that charity. See, I am always ahead of 1068 01:28:33.039 --> 01:28:36.039 the curve here, man, immediate going, you know, but this is 1069 01:28:36.279 --> 01:28:40.079 flaming flame. Throw a robot dog. This is where it's at for the 1070 01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:44.439 children. I don't know. Man, if you asked me, hey, 1071 01:28:44.479 --> 01:28:46.119 you want to come shoot? You ever shot something out of a helicopter? 1072 01:28:48.239 --> 01:28:51.560 Do you do? You honestly think I've ever been in a helicopter. Dude, 1073 01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:54.600 you need to shoot. You need to shoot a gun out of a 1074 01:28:54.640 --> 01:28:57.199 helicopter. I'm sure it would be fun if I could. If I could 1075 01:28:57.279 --> 01:29:00.000 make it in the air without throwing up within like twenty seconds, I'm sure 1076 01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:05.760 would be fun. I'm not going up into a helicopter up. Well that's 1077 01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:11.399 the thing too. So now the guy's charged here and it's just like well, 1078 01:29:11.439 --> 01:29:15.239 what you know, what what what's if it's his helicopter and his lambeau 1079 01:29:15.399 --> 01:29:21.239 and his fireworks and you know, his two women friends. Oh, then 1080 01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:26.039 shall not be infringed, right, So what what are we even doing here? 1081 01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:30.199 Do you do you think? Do you think the founding fathers wouldn't want 1082 01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:34.920 you to have her Wolf? I don't think that's true. I think if 1083 01:29:34.960 --> 01:29:39.159 you got I think if you got them together and got done explaining all the 1084 01:29:39.159 --> 01:29:42.880 stuff Airwolf can do, they're gonna be mighty impressed. But uh no, 1085 01:29:43.079 --> 01:29:48.079 I think they'd be cool with it. Plus they're shooting fireworks. Uh and 1086 01:29:48.319 --> 01:29:53.760 uh let's see here, yeah yeah yeah. The complaint uh and the arrest 1087 01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:59.520 weren't, which was issued just a couple of days ago, is based on 1088 01:29:59.680 --> 01:30:04.600 quote, the causing the placement of an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft. 1089 01:30:05.600 --> 01:30:10.880 So all of that insane, that insane vision that I just laid out 1090 01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:16.079 for you. What they're hitting them with is bringing explosives onto an aircraft, 1091 01:30:16.359 --> 01:30:21.159 I e. The fireworks that were then launched out of the helicopter at the 1092 01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:28.199 Lambeau. So you know, why don't you do this kind of stuff on 1093 01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:34.720 your Twitch channel? Ross? Hmmm, I'm just you know, the bar 1094 01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:39.640 keeps going up and up. Man, it's hard to keep up, but 1095 01:30:39.720 --> 01:30:43.199 we can keep up with the weather. Jeff Barr from the Weather Channel, 1096 01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:46.840 he'll help us. What red blooded American doesn't want to shoot fireworks out of 1097 01:30:46.840 --> 01:30:53.560 a helicopter at a Lambeau? Right? Just once in life? Come on? 1098 01:30:53.800 --> 01:30:57.439 Yeah? I mean that. Yeah that. I wonder if it's kind 1099 01:30:57.439 --> 01:31:00.000 of hard to hit to the lambeau, you know, out of the helicopter. 1100 01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:01.920 I think it would be here. It's your moving target. Trying to 1101 01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:04.840 hit a moving target. I don't know if you do much shooting, but 1102 01:31:05.279 --> 01:31:11.359 that's now you got two really hard things to do. Yeah, crazy towns, 1103 01:31:11.479 --> 01:31:14.079 but I'm willing to give it a try. So is it good weather 1104 01:31:14.239 --> 01:31:16.960 to do that? Yeah? Absolutely, some good weather for that or anything 1105 01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:19.399 else that you may have lined up for the weekend. It's going to be 1106 01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:23.239 dry. The next chance the rain will be on Sunday evening, So the 1107 01:31:23.279 --> 01:31:26.800 bulk of the weekend shaping it through very nice. Today's sunny high warming to 1108 01:31:26.800 --> 01:31:29.520 eighty nine, a light breeze out of the west, and then clear tonight 1109 01:31:29.600 --> 01:31:31.439 with a low of sixty three. We should hit eighty seven with more sunshine 1110 01:31:31.439 --> 01:31:35.159 tomorrow, and then on Sunday we'll be sunny and hotter with some gusty winds 1111 01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:38.520 out of the west at a hind and low nineties. Theead a few showers 1112 01:31:38.520 --> 01:31:42.319 and thunderstorms to develop on Sunday night before clearing takes place into Monday, with 1113 01:31:42.359 --> 01:31:45.760 a high to eighty seven degrees. All right, have a good weekend, 1114 01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:47.640 sir, appreciate it. You got it a good one. All right, 1115 01:31:47.680 --> 01:31:51.239 there you go, Jeff Barr from the Weather Channel. We come back, 1116 01:31:51.720 --> 01:32:00.199 Jeff Bellinger. Oh all right, boy, I got nine different directions as 1117 01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:02.039 we could take it with a well, you know what. Stick around. 1118 01:32:02.079 --> 01:32:05.800 You'll find out which direction I go next. I am okay, say good 1119 01:32:05.840 --> 01:32:11.319 morning. The job market was much stronger than expected last month. The Labor 1120 01:32:11.359 --> 01:32:15.159 Department reports two hundred seventy two thousand workers were added to payrolls in May. 1121 01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:19.760 The nation's unemployment rate ticked up to four percent. It was a three point 1122 01:32:19.840 --> 01:32:25.000 nine percent in April. Average hourly earnings were up four tens percent, and 1123 01:32:25.039 --> 01:32:28.359 we're up four point one percent from May of last year. All of the 1124 01:32:28.439 --> 01:32:32.479 numbers higher than expected, and economists say this report likely pushes off the first 1125 01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:36.640 interest rate cut by the Fed. Futures are lower across the board right now. 1126 01:32:36.760 --> 01:32:42.000 S and P futures down twenty four points. Nasdaq futures are down seventy 1127 01:32:42.039 --> 01:32:45.159 three, the Dow futures down one hundred and forty two. Strategists the Bank 1128 01:32:45.199 --> 01:32:49.439 of America are not anxious for the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates. 1129 01:32:49.680 --> 01:32:54.920 Many investors have said a round of rate cuts would begin or could begin, 1130 01:32:55.039 --> 01:32:59.079 before there is significant harm to economic growth. The thinking at b of A 1131 01:32:59.600 --> 01:33:02.119 is that a cut would be the first hint of trouble for the economy, 1132 01:33:02.319 --> 01:33:06.359 and it could increase the chances of a hard landing. Apple has developed a 1133 01:33:06.359 --> 01:33:11.800 new app called Passwords. Sources say the app will make it easier for customers 1134 01:33:11.800 --> 01:33:15.720 to log into websites and software. The app will be unveiled Monday at Apple's 1135 01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:21.960 Worldwide Developers Conference, and it will reportedly be included in an upcoming operating system 1136 01:33:23.079 --> 01:33:27.800 update. And Casey, the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, says the 1137 01:33:27.880 --> 01:33:32.439 league is considering expanding Adam Silver says league officials will turn their attention to the 1138 01:33:32.479 --> 01:33:39.720 possibility of adding teams once they complete new deals for TV rights. Casey all 1139 01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:44.680 right, Hey, Jeff do you hear? The good news is a robot 1140 01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:49.960 dog with the flamethrower is now licensed as an agricultural tool, and you can 1141 01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:56.000 purchase it here in the US for just under ninety five hundred bucks. Wow, 1142 01:33:56.399 --> 01:34:00.239 I'll start saving up case you. Yeah, as soon as I figure 1143 01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:05.760 out what I'm going to use it for. But agricultural purposes, agricult Okay, 1144 01:34:05.880 --> 01:34:11.079 okay, okay. Thank you for take care. You do the same take care
