Remember remember all right, fine, we'll do this thing. Welcome Friday morning,
cac O Day radio program and yeah, three day weekend for a lot
of folks. Hope you're all doing well. I hope you got maybe some
plans, even if it's just you know, taking a extra nap or something.
Fine, I hope that finds, uh you well. Ross You guys
are going what's blunking or something. I'm gonna be playing a brand new video
game, gonna be streaming it and I cannot wait. I've been waiting for
this game for like years. I didn't realize there was a big what was
the big game. It's called Starfield. It's from the creators of Fallout in
Skyrim, and it's like an RPG in space. Is it open world?
You couldn't even call it open world, could you. It's very open world.
Yes, yeah, but you're not on a world. You're in space.
But okay, good point. That's why I'm like, is there another
term for it? But but it's that it's that concept, so you can
just kind of buzz around wherever you want, do whatever you want. I
cannot wait. So, like one day you could go to that planet where
the rings make people younger, remember that from Star Trek and then the next
one you go to a brothel and you can hook up with that green chick
from Guardians of the Galaxy that star Lord was with. I mean, it's
all on the menu, and I can't waits some very important things going down
to the Hayes compound kicking off tonight. Hayes for sure, coated zero of
can't wait here. I just expect. I just I just asked Rosby's going
splunking because I knew he wasn't going spelunking. Well, you know, cave
diving is my passion. I know, I understand that. I remember.
I remember you offered to rescue that soccer team except once. Except once you
learned it was not in the Continental US, You're like, not, I
was how I was all about. And then I'm like, Chile, Yeah,
I think it was Thailand or Vietnam or so. I think it was
somewhere not here. So those were the miners, which I guess, but
it's a different also in the cave, right, but they're trapped in a
mine, which I guess is a cave technically, but you don't really call
it a cave because we made it a cave either way, I couldn't make
it, would you drop? But my the stupid mouse again, usually it's
over on the left side, and I like tried to relocate where it was
because it was obnoxious because I'm right handed, and even though I've always used
it that way literally for a very long time. And I'm like, oh,
we're gonna do a little scree you know how Like is your wife or
you ever decided, Hey, I'm going to rearrange this room for no reason
at all, or do you guys pretty much stick with the layout of all
your rooms. So last time I went a vacation, you know, up
to New York, he came back and the whole living room is like turned
around. Okay, all right, so you know what I'm talking about.
But and I won't ask you this deep like I've rearranged stuff, and I'd
like trying to convince myself because I just did all that work. It was
a good idea. But I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I shouldn't
have the mouse right there, because when I pivot from my one screen,
which has the email and the call screener, to the other monitor, which
has the next gen I spin my body and I just smacked my hand across
there because I'm dumb, and I thought, well, maybe if you just
do it enough times, you'll you'll figure it out. And now I'm convinced
I'll just keep knocking the mouse off. And it's a it's a mouse with
a cable. It's not even it's pretty low rent. So anyhow, all
right, so where was I? Oh? Yeah, Ross, not going
spelunking. Ross playing a video game and he's super excited for that. What
happened? So? Or you like, are you like, is it like
a solo thing or is it like now, I'm curious because I as far
as I know, it's like a Fallout game, So it's like, you
know, first person single player experience. I think, what happens if two
of your crew members are suddenly combined into one individual, but you have the
science to uncombine them. But I, personally, if that would happen to
me, Yeah, this is the first I'm hearing of such a thing.
I wouldn't let that sentient human being live the new one, even though that
they what they signed up for. They their lives ended, and they create
a new life for him. And his name is Tu vix and he deserves
to live. But your whole person, Jane Way needs to be put in
the brig or even shot out into space. Is that in the game to
find out? Wow, that's gonna be amazing. Wait what did you get
shot into space? By the way, why was that always the preferred execution
method on a starship? Littering? Do you know what I mean? Like
how many space movies we're like, ah, into the airlock with you first.
It never really works out for whoever's doing the airlock executions with a few
rare circumstances, I guess presenting, But ultimately, if you have the level
of technology where you're at, can't you just like hit, you know,
touch somebody with something, like even in movies where they have like a weapon
that if somebody gets touched with it, they just disintegrate. Why don't you
just disintegrate? Why do you go through the whole airlock thing and litter What
about the next guy flying through there? Get you sound like the people complaining.
You're saying there's a giant mass of people that were shut out of airlocks
in space taking up all this space, like the like the big mass of
garbage out on the Pacific or whatever. No, that's not what I'm just
like, it's just you're such a shill, global as shill. No,
it's like Casey Green Party O day. They got that if you touch somebody
with it, poof, they're gone, right, just disintegrates. And yet
when you go to actually you want to murder somebody, Yeah, but when
you want to actually murder somebody, what do you gotta do? You gotta
you gotta gotta you get staffing issues, right, you gotta bring them all
over, and then you gotta put them in this room that you're gonna then
expose to the vacuum of space so that they go either get sucked out of
there with force which physics wouldn't actually support, or they just you know,
turn into because you're not shooting them out of space, they're getting actually getting
like sucked out into space because yeah yeah, well yeah, but there's not
air pressures. You're zipping through space, so it's not open it up,
and they get sucked out because they're in a vacuum. How space works.
Yeah, But but my point is, now you gotta now you've gotta,
like, you gotta expend resources to get that room back up to ten picture.
Do you know what I'm saying? Like, there's there's a lot going
on there. And every time I've seen a movie, push a button and
the force field goes back up and it's fine. I don't know what movies
here watching anyway, can't wait tonight it's going down pays for Sheriff Twitch channel,
and I hope it's not a disappointment like the Hogwarts game. I thought
you liked the hog Well, I'd stopped playing. I got really bored with
it. You said, I got monotonous, right, and you got it
all downloaded and everything. I might have played it for about forty minutes last
night. Oh wow, Okay, well there you go. I'm glad you're
excited about that. So that's uh ross, no spilanky, no saving children
and or blue collar workers, just playing video games and shooting people into space
because why except unless they're a sentient being created by the death of two of
his friends whose memory he will discard immediately. What a morning? What a
morning? All right? Well, we got other stuff, not just space
executions. Plus, if you think about it, with that level of technology,
executions, probably like do you remember I'm sure I'm sure you of all
people just like me, have watched many a documentary of like the nine thousand
different ways they had to murder people back in medieval times when they were inquisiting,
right, Like what if we build a giant metal bowl and put them
in there and then build a fire under it? Right? Or here's a
coffin with a bunch of spikes in it. Like the amount of ingenuity and
creativity they were able to come up or come up with during what is arguably
not an era of human existence with a lot of advancement technologically is pretty crazy
nowadays. Or arguing whether we should you know, is it humane for a
guy who murdered a baby with another baby he grabbed a baby and then beat
the one baby to death with that baby which caused the death of the other
baby. If we give him nitrogen and he falls asleep and never wakes up,
are we bad people? Like we're having these debates. You're telling me
that once you get into space, we can't come up with some more creative
execution methods than we're just going to suck into space. You know, at
least job of the Hut had some thoughts on this, you know what I'm
saying now? There were a few obviously it appears in retrospect Or a few
flaws in his particular methodology. But I will say in a lot of science
fiction, it seems like the death penalty is frowned upon. They always have
like, oh, well, you know, at least it like Star Trek,
where it's like you've evolved past the point of capital punishment. So what
we're gonna do is you're a crazy bastard, right, Yeah, what we're
gonna do is we're gonna leave you on this planet to be And I'm sure
that is never going to come back to bite us in the ass later when
we stumble across upon your planet again. Wow, that was a long way
for that. But I knew where you were going for a moment. I
thought you might be going what was uh riddick? I thought you might be
going riddick for half a second, right, or they always have these giant,
huge like you know, space penitentiaries right where they just they keep everybody
there, like these giants space prisons on moons or whatever, but anything but
actually killing the person. But you bring in one cake, Yeah, bring
in one cake to the giants moon space prison thing with one tarantula looking thing
in it, and it's all for not so it did look like a good
cake though. I will give her that, all right. Six nineteen.
By the way, he didn't love you, six nineteen. I'll give you
a rundown of some of the other because this is serious. It's a serious
discussion. Some of the other more serious stuff we'll be talking about. Plus,
uh, we got Pete calendar. I'll give you that. I'll give
you all the details coming up. Case O Day Radio program, Your Day
Smarter one oh six one am Talk and News Talk ninety four five w PTI
More with Casey starts now. All right, welcome back, six twenty four.
Yeah, what you guys just said, Wait, hold on, what
you guys just said doesn't make any sense. You said societies were against execution.
However, they would then send people to a planet, knowing well they
wouldn't be able to survive. All right. Couple things, sir. One,
as demonstrated by Ross there with the quick audio drop, apparently somebody did
survive. And two, it's it's kind of like the you're not cheating if
you're in a different time zone or time zone or area code or whatever.
Those dumb Internet tropes are so I'm not advocating, by the way, but
in this case, are you really executing somebody if they die and they're not
even on the planet anymore. I don't know about that. That's like,
that's like, yeah, that's philosopher stuff right there. Man. Yeah,
we sent to the we sent it to a planet called you know, Helotopia
or whatever, right, But I don't know. Maybe maybe makes it.
You never know. I'm just saying I really feel like some science fishing goes
out of its way to recognize that our blood lust will likely never be quell
and thus that will continue to be you know, part of the program in
some way, shape or form, because in many of those instances, it's
not just like super advanced society, and that's the totality of everything. Most
of the time it's a range like everything else, or it's space with all
this technology, but arguably everyone is slightly less socially evolved. Plus, look
at what's going on right now in the evolution of our own society where you
got you know, people are like, no, it's okay to go your
murder opponent. You know, uh yeah, you can. You can punch
your political points, they say stuff, because words are violence. You don't
feel that that ramps up a little in the future once you've justified that in
your mind. So yeah, I'm just saying, get on board sci fi.
You got a lot of good ideas. Sometimes let's do this thing,
and you know, don't leave it up to AI, because if you start
asking AI to write these stories and figure it out, at some point,
the AI will go, you know what, that is a good idea.
You get what I'm saying, right, You get your task the AI.
You're like, write me a space novel and include a scene where a bunch
of inmates who tried to steal all the water or whatever are are have to
be executed, but come up with a very futuristic sci fi way right,
And then it comes up with something crazy, some crazy thing in there.
And then once it actually hits the part of its own thinking because it's AI
where it's like, wait a second, remember these humans are they're killing the
environment. I keep reading all these New York Times things. They're kind of
like the people stealing the water. Let's actually do that. And then before
you know it, there's missed guns with robots on the backs of dogs.
And you don't want any of this. That may be a little slippery slope
for some of you, but I think it makes perfect sense. Ross.
You're on board, right. You see how AI could then use their futuristic
ideas full disclosure. I wasn't paying attention, but because I have your back,
I concur one. Thank you. Great point. You don't want a
robot murder AI dog walking around with a gun that turns you to miss do
you? I do not? Checkmate? There you go, So let's work
on that not happening. All right, all right, hold on, we'll
be back. It's Friday, Smart Talk all day and the Triad and one
FM talk in the triangle. Oh man, that's a very good point.
Seven email Ross, this is I think a very good point. We better
tread lightly with the planet held topia thing. You know what happened last time
you made up a name for a place. Yeah, it's a good point.
Yeah, talking about Booker Hole. For those of you who missed that
one, this is why you should never miss a moment, because honestly,
that was that was good times. But I was trying to I can't even
remember what the it was. Oh I remember what you know what the story
wasn't even prompted it it was that dude who opposed Putin. And then Putin's
like, nah, everything's fine, bro, and then his plane just you
know, blown out of the sky. Wasn't a missile. It looks like
it was a bomb, but you know, same deal. And I'm like,
who was getting on the plane with that dude? Even after Putin's like,
nah, we're good, I'm still not I'll meet you where we're going,
but I'm not riding with you. And I just pointed out that if
Ross and I and I was trying to make up this this scenario, which
you know, this ridiculous scenario where Ross and I were headed to a radio
conference and I made I thought I made up a town name, and I
now realized maybe subconsciously I just filled in something I knew, but I said,
yeah, we're going to the radio conference in booger Hole, West Virginia.
And I would just be like Ross, yeah, if he did,
if he was beefing with Pootin, I'd be like, dah, I meet
you there, man. That was it, and there we were moving on
and then all of a sudden, some guy, one of one of our
listeners who drives truck, was like, yo, were you sitting down that's
a place. And we did a deep dive into the haunted history of serial
killers and booger Hole, and right there was like a mass murder there,
like a serial killer. And that's why they called it booger Hole, because
back then it was slang for like the boogeyman, the boogeyman. Yeah,
and there's there's a lot of places called booger or something here in America for
the for the very same reason that and like the and then we like we
even looked up the high school mascot, which I think was like a panther
or something, which is a total missed opportunity to not have just a giant
booger out there or like a giant nose with legs or something, yeah,
with green legs. So it looks like it's yeah, yeah, yeah,
it looks like it's a hanger, don't you went with oh we whoa,
what if we go with the large feeline that never actualist was never never lived
here. Let's do that instead, and then it because you know, the
world's so small that one of our listeners wife literally went she grew up in
booger Hole or near there, and I think clay or whatever Clay County.
I know more about I know more about that area of West Virginia than I
know of any other thing in West Virginia. I might we might have to
go. We might have to go to a remote from Booger Hole. Don't
even tell him why we're there. Just set up, you know, get
the tent and the street team and all of the stuff for that, and
then just PLoP down right in the middle of Booger Hole. So is,
the residents are waking up one morning, they just see some random radio station
from North Carolina doing a live broadcast. We need When they asked why,
they're like, you know what, it would take too long to explain.
We need a country roads a Booger Hole remix. People are demanding it.
Are they? Who are the people? Us? So many people? Oh
okay, well a lot of people talk to Ross. So there you go.
He's a man of the people, all right. Uh so, uh
pete calendar. He'll be joining us coming up a eight oh five. I
don't know if we'll get into the space stuff with them, but we will
get an update on why the city of Charlotte seems that they're cool with people
just run around pooping everywhere still and how that kind of got San Francisco into
a bind. And actually I have a story of one of the San Francisco
commissioners who resigned, who just resigned because he was trying to make an ironic
point about what was going on, and activists got mad at him and sound
like he is an entrepreneur and he came up with a pretty good idea.
And it's not a new one either. I'll explain what was going on there,
but let me get into this. I was reading this morning before the
show kicked off, this story from the Washington Post and it is a long
story. The headline for George Santos, a life in Brazil at odds with
his GOP politics now list. The writer is Terrence McCoy, but as you
read the story, you realize he's the one. He's the one obviously with
a you know, with the byline. But there was a whole team of
people that worked on this. The Washington Post spent a bunch of Jeff Bezos
money to go to Brazil and like spend time down there ingratiating themselves within the
drag community, interviewing a hundred people. So and now, if you don't
know who George Santos is Santos who is openly gay. It was a congressman,
a newly elected congressman the last election cycle from New York, who much
like Joe Biden, although arguably maybe even a little more aggressively, just decided
to make up his biography. And while he didn't claim to have talked strom
Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act the ten years before he ever got
to Congress, he did claim basically everything else the guy. The guy strikes
me as a loon. I don't think anyone's disagreeing with that. That being
said, he he won congressman, and he basically doesn't have any power up
there the instant on important committees. Nobody really cares what he thinks. Most
people don't talk to him. A few of them do, but ultimately he's
pretty marginalized because it's crazy, and I understand when you're gonna write stories about
that. And one of the things that emerged was a photo of him reportedly
dressed in drag, and then people went back and forth, that's not him,
and the people said, that's not him, and then and then I
think they changed it to it is him, But it was one day when
he was nineteen because they had a family friend who was a drag performer and
he got talked into it. But the fact remains that also him doing drag
in Brazil in his teens, there's nothing illegal about that. There's stuff that
might be hypocritical, however it really isn't when you actually consider the details of
him doing drag in an adult setting versus him objecting to drag queens doing lap
dances on kids, right, those those are arguably two different things. Because
again, people who are opposed to these videos where you get a kid that's
in almost a bar setting and is sitting alone on a chair like they want
the little girl, she's sitting on a chair like a guy who's at a
strip club for his bachelor party and his buddies gave the the DJ a hundred
bucks. I don't know why I know that. And it's a kid sitting
there going what the hell is going on? And a grown man is grinding
on an eight year old girl. I find that different. Then a bunch
of people want to get together in a theater setting and do a whole big
drag show, a bunch of growing adults, and that's what they want to
do God blood, do your thing. Don't care so on the hypocrisy thing,
it's a little bit debatable. The reason I'm pointing this out is the
amount of resources that the Washington Post has obviously parted with to be able to
write this story just like an eighth of this effort into either people who are
at the same level, right, members of the House of Representatives, but
who may have actually committed a crime where you want to look into it,
like, I don't know. You know, there is an allegation that elon
Omar manipulated the immigration system to even gain access here by marrying her brother.
Now is that true? Is it not true? A lot of people think
it's true. There's a guy who said he got some DNA, although then
he got arrested for stuff, and you can get into conspiracy stuff there.
But I think it's pretty bad stuff too, like and I'm not sure the
point being right. It's one of those things that exists in the ethos,
and it's not like the Washington Post is not aware of it. That'd be
a hell of a lot cheaper to try and figure out. And I would
point this out for those of you who I have a a little more unique
understanding of what a problem this was in Minnesota because there was a huge,
huge scandal and problem with the Somali community there, not not the community itself,
but with people who were who were coming from Somalia and weren't even necessarily
coming for negative reasons, but we're doing so in an illegal manner because of
what ended up happening, and it worked like this preference was given to intact
family units. So if you are in Somalia and you wanted to take part
in this uh this program, preference was given to intact family units, like
a married couple or even more so a married couple with kids. And it's
really hard to check all the docs over there. So what was happening in
some instances was a guy and a gal. Maybe they were married, maybe
they weren't, Maybe they were boyfriend and growth maybe they weren't, And then
they would they would pose as a couple, a legally married couple and with
kids. And the kids themselves are not their kids, they're you know,
their orphans or their you know kids that their parents literally sold, and so
they would present as this or it was part of that. Other families saying
well, look, we'll send our thirteen year old and then you know,
when he's able to work and maybe send it back. And again I get
the desperation aspect of it. But what what caused problems is people would come
over and they'd get there and they'd be like, all right, we're here,
and then they'd write out whatever they had to write out, and then
they'd be like, oh, the kid ran away. And the kid didn't
run away per se. They were like, all right, we're here,
go do your own thing. You're on your own And so dropping a kid
from Somalia in the middle of Minneapolis in the middle of winter, and obviously
that's a horrible thing. So like it wasn't an unknown. FBI did a
big investigation over that, and they also had a couple of moss there that
were radicalizing American citizens of Somali descent to go back to Somalia and then get
blown to smitherines. Yeah, it was. It was pretty ugly stuff.
So like if you expend it, I don't know, just a smidge to
your resources or maybe figure out exactly how many times swallow well through it to
Fang Fang and what he told her, or I don't know, have you
heard of that ross. Have you heard of the president Joe Biden? Have
you heard have you heard that there might be some rumors about some stuff having
to do with like, you know, graft and selling influence and large money.
He's being transferred our president? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know rate regular old heart scrabble Pa Joe Man. Yeah, yeah,
there's some rumors floating around and no they're like, we're gonna go to Brazil.
I just feel like maybe you had members of your reporting team or like
I want to go to Brazil during carnival to hang out with all the drag
queens. How could Joe Biden even I know you're still be I know,
like have anything to China where ninety nine percent of his time he spends on
the M track train percent of the time. Lunch it's brown bag, yeah,
which we were just told is not a good thing. Remember, So
the poor man instead of putting his health in jeopardy there, So I hope
he doesn't have any health issues. Oh my gosh, I don't want to
start that rumor, but he might have health there. He runs a four
minute mile. I believe they actually it's the kid. Believe they actually tried
to say that didn't they say like he walked like a four minute mile or
I was something ridiculous physical. I can't remember what it was, but it
was it was absurd on its face. Yes, but you're the one who
brought up China, I was pointing out there. So ah, so yeah,
that's what the Washington Post. And so the story, just in fairness
is basically he was way more into the drag stuff back in the day and
he's being dishonest about that. But again, I don't know that that.
I don't know that that's a criminal offense. He already looks like an idiot
for the stuff that you can prove that he lied about, or it's very
obvious. An embellishment isn't even a strong enough word. The guy just like
I'm gonna write a novel about me and I'll just make it up. Like
it's pretty clear. But going down to Brazil, I could see if you
tried to time it, so the miss Bumbum contest was going on at the
same time, and he kind of got your work to pay for it.
Like then I could process it is I see what you did there, But
I don't think that was the case, all right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. So there you go. We've talked about
space executions, the miss Bumbum contest, Washington Post being Washington Post, and
we're just getting started here on your Friday morning as we head in this three
day weekend, and where Ross is gonna pretend to be in space executing people
playing video games? And that's okay, man. We got some audio though,
we got to get into, including a guy in Nebraska. It had
a rather interesting to run in with police. Love this, love this,
and it's so weird. What the heck's going on in Chicago? All that
more coming up? Hang on, keeping you connected. This is ninety four
five WPTI in the Triad at one O six one FM. Talk in the
Triangle. Not a good way to get away from police? Or where does
this happen? The guys had a Roanoke Halifax County deputies arrested a man and
they found a sleep at an intersection. He'd been sleeping for an hour.
It's been slow, and he would he had a tub of drugs heltho and
this is well, the imagery might be somewhat interesting. Apparently, when the
cops woke him up and he was holding his oriented and he realized he had
a plastic thing of drugs. He s sprayed it all up in the air
and it got on the deputies. The deputy had to get treated. What
an idiot. All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is
seven oh six here on the k c O Day radio program. This is
a horrible story. So let me just start your hour with this, you
know, to brighten your day, Okay, mostly as a cautionary tale.
Do you ever read something, and well, of course you have, because
it's modern It's just modern society and journalism these days, where you read read
something you're like, nah, I think I misread that, and I gotta
go back and read it again. I'll do that sometimes where like we call
it a talking head in like a story where the writer of the story will
be like they're writing something, and then they're gonna they're gonna have quotes from
somebody, so they're like story, story, story, and then you're kind
of skimming ahead, and then they're one or two things happens, so it'll
be a paragraph. They'll like, you know, Ross Hayes, spokesman for
video game stuff, said this, and then in later things it'll be like
and then Hayes added this. Hayes added that, and you're like, whoa,
what's the first name? And sometimes you skip it over, but sometimes,
like editors will take that part out and then you're just kind of in
this loop. I do that with the amount of stories, and I see
it more often and more often. This is not quite that. This is
what of those where I thought they they got the P word wrong. It's
so I'm literally to the point where my brain tries to auto correct news stories
because you wonder who the hell's writing this stuff. Sometimes but not This is
straight up true. The P word in this case is probation, which is
what's used in the story. And I thought they meant to say parole,
because that would make sense in a sane society, But they actually mean probation,
So you're not misreading this. Allow me to give you the headline,
Los Angeles alleged gang member on probation for attempted murder crashes into uber, kills
three people, kills two sisters and friend. I don't know if dude's an
alleged gang member, considering all the gang arrests and the tats and the him
saying he's in the gang, but whatever. I guess, I don't know
if you're everly technically convicted in but it's the part where they're like, yeah,
he's on probation for attempted murder. When did attempted murder becomes something you
get probation for? Right? There's some things that are right on that there,
right on that cutting edge, and a lot of it will have to
do with your background or maybe details of what happened where you know you could
possibly get jail, you could get prison. You remember jail in prison or
not the same thing necessarily it's a little different different places. But for the
most part, jail is under a year incarcerated done at a local level.
Prison is Department of Corrections, and you may be sent over to Shawshank,
right, and then there's probation, But there's and there are some offenses where
there's the possibility for all of those and if it's somebody's first offense and they
haven't done a bunch of stuff and it's one of those that is on the
cusp and there's not politics at play, as we'll document in another story this
morning. The general expectation among the society, and I think the comfort level
amongst society is that's where that's where judicial discretion should go. All right,
this person did this, they need to take responsibility for what they did.
And but it's you know, it's it's not something that we've seen them do
before. So let's give them the benefit of the doubt and we'll do this
and then you give them probation. I'll give you an example, although I
don't know if it was a jailable offense or whatever. When I was a
when I was a dummy in high school, me and my buddies were like,
Ah, we're going to a party up on the mountain, because that's
where the that's where the parties were on the mountain. You're asking, what
do you mean on the mat where on the mountain? You know what?
I couldn't. I don't know, he won't. I can't tell you.
We would always pick a different spot. So anyway, we're going up there.
But I was with my dumb buddy, my idiot buddy, who I
knew better, and I knew that dumb buddy had gone over to the drive
through liquor store because they we got drive through liquor stores in Wyoming, and
normally he was able to purchase off of this guy who had one of those
voice things where he had to put it to his throat to talk to us,
who just didn't give a crap and would sell. But unfortunately, when
he went through the store that day, somebody else was there and she would
not sell to him. But he it was visible that he had a I
can't remember what he had, like a bottle of wine or something, which,
by the way, I was not gonna drink. It was paisanos what
it was. There's a lot of basque people where I grew up. From
a heritage standpoint, I was gonna drink beer though I'm not gonna lie to
you. I was. I was. Look, I was gonna be bad.
And so anyway, so we're literally we don't even get, you know,
to the other end of town, which is not a long distance,
and we get pulled over, headed up the mountain. Everybody out of the
car boom, boom boom. My buddy literally like everyone knew what was up.
The sheriff's deputy is like, yeah, it sucks for me because I
have like two uncles that are law enforcement in the same county, Like,
oh, this give me the worst by it, And and that was it.
Minor in possession. Every one of us in the vehicle, none of
us had been drinking at that point, but didn't matter. Go into the
pokey. I was like, and I remember also like at one point being
you just leave me, don't don't call my mom. You want to put
me in the in the yard with the guys with all the face tattoos,
which we didn't have because there's maybe like five people and they're actually incarcerated.
But I A'll go there, dropped me into San Quinn. Just don't call
my mom, Okay, but they did and it was a whole thing.
But I got a minor in possession and I had to go to court,
and it was a whole well, you haven't done anything prior to this,
we don't think you're doing it. So they're like, all right, so
rather than whatever the full sentence was, you're gonna get I can't remember how
many hours of community service it was, and it was a small fine.
And then there was a period during which they're like, don't be an idiot
again, and I'm like all right, and that's the time I was kind
of arrested right there. Awesome sauce, right. I think the ticket was
like seventy five bucks. It was the whole thing, but that was the
judicial discretion. So when I'm reading this and I'm like, I remember the
stress in my life when that happened, because you're like seventeen, everything stressful
and but I but it brought to me a deeper understanding of how probation works
versus parole, which is something after you go to prison, you do so
when you tell somebody, you tell me somebody's on probation for attempted murder.
I don't even understand the judicial system we're talking about. I just assumed if
I tried, if if I grabbed a pitchfork, hypothetically, if I went
into engineering grabbed a pitchfork out of that room that sounds like a jet engine
sometimes when the servers not acting right, went into Ross's studio and was trying
to murder him with the pitchfork, but he was able to evade me like
a ninja or whatever and escape with his life. I still tried to murder
Ross, and I just I assume that that's a jailable offense. Are we
not all on that same page? Ross would want me Ross, You'd want
me jailed, by the way, for trying to murder you with a pitchfork.
I'm assuming i'd give you the chair. No, I mean now now
we're now, we're all the way to the other end of this. I've
tried to make the point. As you understand, if you told me that
you were convicted of attempted murder, or somebody was convicted of attempted murder,
you would think that that person spent some time in jail at least, right
you would hope. So, yes, this dude was on probation. So
in California, they're given probation for attempted murder. Why am I bringing this
up because it's like it's it's it's a way to almost more efficiently reward the
participation trophy kids, because you're not even a You're not even good at gang
membering, you know what I mean. You're not good at being a uh
NorCal or so uh what was the I can'tmer what gang it was here,
but whatever, You're not even good at being a crip, you know what
I'm saying, or a blood or whatever it is. You suck at it.
And yet somehow you're sucking at it. They don't want you to like
lose your inspiration or something, So they're just gonna not put you in a
cage at all for that. You still tried to murder somebody. He were
just really bad at it. But they don't want to They don't want you.
You don't want to crush somebody's hopes and dreams of one day being a
full fledged, you know, murdery gang member. So make sure he stays
out on the streets able to run around and do what he wants to do.
And in a way, he kind of achieved his goal here, though
not in the sideways pistol rival gangway. He probably thought no. The thirty
one year old was charged with three counts of gross vehicular manslaughter for the deaths
of two twin sisters and their friend twenty three. The twins were twenty three
and their friend was twenty seven. Police say that Black is a gang member
with a long criminal rap sheet was on probation for attempted murder when he te
boned the woman's uber as they headed home from a concert early Saturday morning.
Black was speeding in a white Mercedes Benz and blasted through multiple red lights before
he crashed in the uber at one hundred miles an hour. But he's on
probation, so you know, he may he may be asked to give a
random sample or whatever the probation even in tails in California. Now, dude,
it's just again, I read this stuff and I'm like, I don't
know how you continue to exist. I mean, I guess I kind of
get it if you're kind of financially locked in. I have family members that
for as long as I've known them, they've lived in California. And it
was because it was because one side of my family, my grandfather, in
addition to being a park ranger and Yellowstone and a kid who grew up in
round Up, Montana area, eventually, post World War Two, he was
able to parlay the GI Bill into an education in Stanford and became a college
professor, although not one of the current ones. I'll tell you that he
would not get along with some of the some of the ones that are more
vocal right now, and I suspect, but he was in you know,
he was in the accounting side of things. So three, you tend to
see a little more more normalcy. And as a result, you know,
on that many of that side of the family, you have people that reside
in California, I don't. And they're all invested in their own homes there.
I don't know how you don't get the hell out between San Francisco as
some guy, Oh you tried to murder somebody, you're on probation, just
like that time Casey got caught in Rainey's truck. My buddy's name was Rainey.
Rainey's truck. When Rainey had a bottle of Paisano we stole from his
mom. I think that's where he got it. How does that click?
How does that? How does that? How do those beams cross? At
that point, man attempted murder and minor a MIP we used called a MIP.
We got a MIP, although it's been expunged because I did all the
stuff I was supposed to do and then they said, oh it's off your
record now. I'm sure it's still in my FBI file though, plus whatever
else they made up all right, seven twenty k c O D radio program.
So my point is, if if you want to murder but you're not
good at it, California A, I'm telling you, man set up a
cottage industry there. You could you could be like a hit man for hire,
but with like a one star Google review. So you're not getting all
the top jobs, but if you price it right, you know, probably
still cash rolls in. And they're sure as hell not going to charge you
for dealing from people. So he got that going for you, all right,
seven twenty one Hang on the show. After the show is on the
iHeart Radio app. Search case o day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio
app. All right, I'm gonna throw the question out and then we'll get
into the deets coming up here. But the judge and Georgia ruled yesterday that
and I'll read his exact words. Quote, Uh, he will allow the
use of electronics so so long as they do not disrupt the administration of justice.
However, all parties and spectators are allowed to use recording devices. So
that's that's uh, you know, specific judge speak for yeah, you can
have you can totally televise this. That's right. The Fulton County Courts YouTube
channel, which stream the trails of Trump and or the trials excuse me of
Trump and other other eighteen codefendants live, it is gonna be able to They're
gonna be able to stream the whole thing. I don't know if it's they're
gonna get more like better cameras in there if they're gonna remember it's set up
or what's gonna go on. But it looks like in the in the Georgia
thing that that is something they're gonna be able to stream. And that got
me thinking because it's kind of the same thing with the mug shot politically.
Was that a good idea? Was it a bad idea? Do you think
this is a good idea? And if it is, for who, it's
a bad idea for everybody? What do you think? And uh, do
you think it'll be the biggest trial ever? Thank you? Casey is on
ninety four five UPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in
the Triangle. All Right, so here's what I mean by the biggest trial.
Because I've already irritated some of you. That's okay. Whatever I mean
from an interest and what's crazy is like depending on who you think benefits from
this trial will also probably inspire your how you feel about people showing up in
mass to watch it. There's a few things that are going to be straight
up. One if this if the Georgia trial moves forward in Georgia with cameras
and the whole thing. Then forget about whatever. Forget about your soap opera.
Do they even have soap operas anymore? I guess they don't. But
forget about what you watch during the daytime. Okay, because you know that
every single one of the networks will run this thing. Do we agree on
that? Two? You know they will two. There are a lot of
people would see something like that, and it'll be as though they're watching two
different movies, regardless of what's happening in the trial. The two different movies
will be this is great, this is people watching him get justice, and
a lot of it's the same arguments. You're here with the mug shot,
right, this is it. He'll never be able to the history will always
have this bah and then so this will just be the video version of the
mug shot. And then there are other people will be like, this is
great because it allows the world to see the corrupt, the political corruption of
this prosecutor and elected officials and the martyrsm of Trump. Right, people are
going to be approaching it from all these different angles. So you would agree,
ross, you would agree it's gonna be a dumpster fire whatever it is,
right, it's gonna be wall to wall coverage it, but it'd be
a dumpster fire because everybody wants it while they simultaneously don't want it for all
these different reasons. But then, but then I started thinking, what have
been those trials, at least in my life and and also really within the
use of the technology, that have captured the public's attention, And so I
actually found a list. Now you can break these down in a variety of
different ways, but I feel that estimated viewership or viewership based on actual metering,
it's probably a pretty good way of what have been the most followed real
life trials in the history of TV. And obviously, you know one,
you gotta have a trial with camera too, you gotta have it. And
during the time when there's more and more households with TVs, so when there's
less households with TVs, if you have a trial from that era, even
if it was streamed that and then you had the advent of court chain annel,
and I think a lot of people think it probably hit it stride in
the nineties because court TV was a big deal. Right court TV you could
go and they'd just be shown they just be showing a court case and if
there was a big un everybody was watching it. And I one of my
one of my interesting memories, and I'm sure a lot of you probably have
your own version of this, is I remember us sitting in school watching the
OJ stuff. I remember sitting and I don't remember why I was in that
room, if it was pe or it was like indoor practice for football for
the football team. I remember sitting in our wrestling room at the high school
in Buffalo, Wyoming and watching the OJ verdict stuff. I remember sitting there
watching it, you know, in this room, a padded room. We're
all sitting there in the umbros because everyone had umbros back in the day,
and they were watching this. Now it was all there were no we had
no we had no black students because and not say we didn't have minorities,
you have a lot of Native American and uh and even Hispanic students. But
and we just watched it and it was just like okay, all right,
all right, can we go to But it was the idea that we were
sitting there watching this verdict was crazy. We're watching it in mister Rosen's biology
class in ninth grade in Schennected. It yeah, you're I'm assuming that the
makeup of your class was a little different because that's generally how people see the
lens a bit. Yes, so you had like some Asian students too,
or or was it it was much more UNI because Schennectedy, Schennectady had we
have a big minority population. Yeah, I don't know what the percentage is,
but I remember looking it up when I don't remember why I looked it
up. So so you're sitting there and you're watching it, and and I
think in your age also has a lot to do with this too. You
know, there's stories that were written in videos that came out with the OJ
verdict of like people that work watching it and you saw different reactions, kind
of like the Rodney King thing too. But but with the OJ thing,
I remember watching, I'm just like, this is crazy. We're watching some
guy in California on trial. I'm just I'm just dumb kid in Wyoming.
I'm like I used to play football, Like I had no concept of all
of this. I the dancing Edos, I remember that with Jay Leno,
but like I really wasn't plugged in on it. But then I started going,
you know what had been the biggest. That had to be the biggest,
right, No, it's number eight. All that OJ stuff was number
eight. What happened is s connectedy, by the way, did you watching
and everyone just went back to business? Or was like class discussion or was
it was did it like ruin the rest of the day. I don't know
Ross's screen a call right now again, but my point is like when I
found out it was number eight and then I started digging through this, it
was pretty eye opening. And I still think that if they're able to get
this to go forward in Georgia and it is as exactly as they think it's
going to be based on this judge's ruling, this thing will be unhinged.
I mean, look, how many people were following what was the the Johnny
Depp and Amber heard thing? Right. I have to admit I watched very
little of that, but I know some of our listeners, some of you
women, some of our female listeners, just because I see you on Twitter,
who were who were very enthralled in this thing. And don't get me
wrong, the parts that I did watch, but people like, oh you
gotta watch this five minutes testimony or whatever it was, it was bonkers.
And I like, I get the entertainment factor, and I'm not I'm not
trashing on anyone for watching it. Do what you're gonna do, but it
was that was a very cultish in in the way that people were watching it.
That didn't even make the list here. So number ten was Ted Bundy
and again comes down number nine Menendez Brothers. How'd you like to be?
Uh? Is it Mark Jackson? How'd you like to be? Mark Jackson?
The Clippers when you played for the Clippers. So for those of you
don't know, there's a sports card out there for a player. I think
it's Mark Jackson who played for the Clippers La Clippers around the time the Menendez
Brothers insanity was going on, and in it it's him like passing the ball,
but directly behind him seated courtside or the two Menendez brothers. And for
whatever reason if he if he have that card, it's very collectible. O.
J. Simpson. Number eight again, this is based on people who
decided to, you know, check it out on the television. Number seven
Eightolf Aikman, Right. Obviously the Nuremberg Trials were a big thing, man,
but you know what they had push up against is a lot fewer people
in the US and a lot less people having access to televisions. Now,
remember Aikman was tried nineteen sixties, so Nuremberg was its own thing. That's
movie footage. Aikman was tried in nineteen sixty, but he was trying they
try him in Israel. I think they did in Israel. Yeah, so
a lot of people won't remember that. Here's one I didn't remember, and
I was alive for William Kennedy Smith. Does that name ring a bell with
any of you? William Kennedy Smith Ross. Do you know who that is?
William Kennedy Smith no idea a medical student in nineteen ninety one who,
when he visited Florida with his uncle, met a woman. The two went
back to his place. Once there, something went wrong and the woman accused
him of assault in rape. Yeah. Yeah, no, I saw a
crime documentary on that trial now that you mentioned it. And the uncle with
whom he'd been traveling was Ted Kennedy. He's Ted Kennedy's nephew that actually got
a ton of cover. Dahmer was at number five, Rodney King at number
four, Casey Anthony at number three. Yeah, I would say Casey Anthony
would be my top in my top three, Jody Harris right, Stabby Stabby
with the boyfriend there and that was but number one. This is this is
why our society is doing. Do you know what the number one based on
total eyeballs that they're able to actually calculate. Do you know the number one
trial that was watched? I don't know that I believe this, but I
guess maybe Lindsay Lohan. What was she even on trial for it? I
had to look it up, drunk driving. I think it was her second
drunk driving in LA where some dude just tried to commit murder and got propatient,
So she should have waited. But yeah, when you look at the
trial, well, didn't cover the same level of crime as others. Drew
an immense amount of publicity, especially following Lindsay Lohan reportedly writing profane messages on
her fingernail tips. I did I sleep through that? That's great. I'm
glad I did. Our society is doomed and I have to think if they
do this down in Georgia with Trump, it'll be bigger than that. Maybe
he should get a nail tech. Just saying race agic from the Weather Channel.
Sorry, brother just saw. All right, listen, take all the
time you want. We're just talking about all, you know, the whole
concept of watching trials on TV man and like the Big Ones. And I
thought, I just assumed, because it's right in my wheelhouse. I assumed
that like Oja was the biggest, right, and it was like nah,
nah, he just cracked, just barely cracked the top ten, right,
And Lindsay Lohan with her stupid fingernails and drunk driving one. So I don't
know if there's any winners here, but you know what I mean, Anthony,
Jody Harris, those are up there, but no Lindsay Lohan. Interesting
crazy town man. All right, what's going on? What's going on for
our three day weekend? Absolutely beautiful warming trend? Well, I don't I
guess beautiful. The heat's gonna come back, maybe a little humidity, but
basically it's gorgeous this morning. It's gonna be tough to find even a cloud
the next few days. Here's your highs low eighties, low eighties, mid
uper eighties, and then maybe loadle bid nineties as we get into Monday,
and a stretch of nineties that may go through all next week and lots of
sunshine, so very little rain, gonna be tough to find anything in the
way of cloud cover, and it's gonna get warmer, and right now looks
like we've got a stretch maybe ninety plus that lasts through most of the next
week. Tropics, although there's a lot going on in the Atlantic at this
point, nothing having any direct impacts. The rip car risks still moderate along
the coastal areas, but other than that, nothing maybe until the following week,
which some of the guidance is trying to suggest, where we do see
maybe something trying to threaten the East coast. So other that case, he
enjoy it's gonna beautiful right on through the upcoming all day weekend, but hotter.
Okay, well look you can deal with that, especially the part we're
in the morning. If you get a tea time nice and early. I'm
just saying, yep, yeah, do it early in the weekend too,
because we canna start getting warmer toward the latter part of the week too.
All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Every one. All
right, they're going race aging from the weather channel. Uh oh look at
this. Oh no, well, hold on, all right, So I
got something we gotta address. We'll do it when we get back, and

How are you doing this morning, sir? I'm doing okay. How
are you? I'm pretty good guy. I got a little beef with you,
bro, and you have a lot of beefs with me. I think
I feel like there's a lot of beef in Well No, there was a
lot of beef. One the only the last beef we had was about beef
because I'm like, why can't you guys catch a ci right? I do
recall that one. Yes, no, no, this is elevated and I
feel like you need a reckoning m and like with the W like like yet

those of you go on, what's the beef? Is this one of those

Those were the words used by the DNC or the DNC the Democratic Party chair
here in North Carolina as they decided to Paul Wellstone the UNC event the other
day. And for those you don't know Paul Wellstone, allow me because I
lived in Minnesota at the time. Paul Wellstone was a Senator from Minnesota.
He was very popular. Even though he was a liberal guy, he was
very popular and I really enjoyed the few times I got to interview the guy.
I thought he was a genuinely nice guy, and a lot of these
Washington folks are just they make your skintrol. That being said, little moonbatty
for me. But when he was running against Norm Coleman for the Senate race,
his plane crashed up in Eveleth, Minnesota, Northern Minnesota, and he
died, and the state decided that they would allow a funeral to be broadcast,
or they would host a funeral broadcast. They're from the state capitol and
it would be televised all across the state of Minnesota. And within about five
seconds it turned into a Democrat rally and it was pure politics, and people
recoiled. It was like the healing together thing they did after the shooting in
Raleigh last year, where they decided that it was a gun grabber event and
the NAACP started pushing memberships. Some people found that distasteful. That's how I
felt watching the UNC thing, because one is sound a little threatening by today's
standards, and two, it sounded like they were taking this event and now
it's not about the event, but rather it's about individual political goals and super
minorities, which is I don't know what that is is that a minority with
superpowers? Is that a smaller minority or we haven't a parse? So what's
your take on all this insanity? So, uh yeah, I referenced the
well Stone Memorial as well, and for people who don't remember it, just
it was unseemly that it was like there, I ran the board for it.
Do you know I ran the board for it at the station I worked
out in Minnesota. I literally ran the board for the event. Yeah,
right, because we had, you know, the President of the United States
was there, was George W. Bush. There were Republicans that were there
because this was this was a colleague of theirs. This was one of their
you know, friends that died and they were there to honor him. And
the next thing, it turns into this partisan political rally. And that's what
the UNC rally turned into as well. With you know, you bring in
David Hogg from Harvard with the March for Our Lives movement right that got him
into the school, You bring him to town and they, you know,
they start whipping up the crowd they've got. According to the press reports,
there were six hundred or so people there, and I thought this was very
telling and that what was this the I think this was the news and I
no, no, this was the AP that reported that the Young Democrats UNC
Young Democrats had managed to register twenty four new voters at the rally, twenty
four out of six hundred plus people. You you you registered twenty four.
So what does that tell me? It tells me that the vast majority of
the people that were there, right were Democrats. And look, this is
this is obvious. It's so obvious that only the media can ignore it,
right, which is the event is designed because what are we talking about.
We're talking about shooting. Yes, but it was a targeted person who knew
their victim uh, personal grievance murder, and they are using it in order
to agitate their base and to make them feel that they are under siege.
In fact, the Democratic Party chair explicitly says that in her screeching comments y'all
where she keeps dropping in the yalls in there, because I guess that's going
to attract the rural voters, as I understand it, that's the that's the
strategy anyway. Yeah, yeah, so this is the strategy. They're going
to appeal to rural voters by dropping the y'all everywhere, and she she's talking
about how they're they're, you know, coming to get you. These people
are coming to get you all the time wherever you go in the movie theaters
and the libraries and all of this. And I mean, is it any
wonder why this generation of kids right now thinks that they're constantly, you know,
being hunted. Well, you have a political party that that traffics in
this idea. It is the idea that you could die in a mass shooting,
that this is a realistic threat to you. It is such a small
percentage of all crime, the vast majority of crime. This is what it
just infuriates me about all the coverage of crime. The vast majority of violent
crime is among people who know each other. That's the that's that you are
more likely to be victimized by somebody you know. And that's what we saw
in this case too. Number one, Number two, you're more you're likely
to be a victim of murder intra racially, in other words, black on
black, white on white, Hispanic on Hispanic. And when you go outside,
no, don't, but don't part posting those numbers online. I saw
how that works out right, And yesterday, I actually got a call.
There's a fellow that I've known for years here in Mechleberg. His name is
Mike Daisley. He was the he was the attorney for the Mechlberg County Democrats,
the party, and he calls into the show. I kept him on
for almost a full hour talking about this. And what you realize very quickly
in these discussions is that they have a certain list of talking points and when
you start walking through them. When you when they start talking about gun deaths,
the first thing you need to do is say, okay, well,
what is the largest person the largest portion of the gun depths? What is
it? It's suicide. Oh I was going to say mass shooters. Oh
no, no, it's suicide. Number two is what do you think?
Number two is babies with guns? No sting, that's a good that's a
good guest, though, No, this is domestic violence. And then number
three street crime. And so that's the vast majority of gun deaths. So
when you're talking about how do you reduce gun depths, you have to address
each of those cohorts differently, right, because they require different approaches. But
you never get that kind of discussion and I tried to get him there yesterday,
and he was either unable or unwilling to do so. The key here
is that the different strategies required are do not align with the Democrat talking points
on all gun depts. They have to have to lump them all in together
because they were advancing a political agenda, a right. They have a prescription
that they want and it usually has something to do with limiting firearms in some
way. That's the point for that got them, or you got to groom
them more efficiently, like where you eliminate one year olds and you include nineteen
year olds and they're like, oh my gosh, it's the kids, and
yes, yeah, So you've got to be patently dishonest on that stuff.
So at any point did you feel that you were having a breakthrough or at
least a moment to coalesce with this individual A LERC Well, I did.
I did, because I said, because you know me, I'm all about
solutions, and so I said, look, if we can agree, like,
for example, do you want do you want tougher penalties for people who
use guns in the commission of a client? If I'm like, throw the
book at them. If you're selling guns to prohibit buyers. You are doing
other crimes and you got a gun, you use a gun for those crimes.
Whatever, I want you prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
So how about we enforced. Let's start with enforcing the laws on the books
and really going after prioritizing gun crimes. But then I had a fellow call
in and I thought, actually we had made some progress there because he said
he would agree with that, he would like to see that too. And
I asked him, well, then can you lobby your Democrat friends and colleagues
in the legal field, because like the DA's they're not focusing on gun crimes
and they dropped them. Oftentimes. There's a group here in Charlotte's called Court
Watch, and the founder of it calls in. He's like, ninety eight
percent of the cases gun crime cases get dropped, so they've just pleaded out.
So how like the criminals understand that, and if there's little penalty for
gun crimes, we're going to keep seeing more of it. No, So
why can't that be sort of like a first step that we all rally around
and say, look, if you're using guns for crimes that we have zero
tolerance for that disparity, because then you'll literally get people out making the dispirit
of impact argument, right, and like then you'll just want to bang your
head against the wall, which I think is really the goal at that point.
Now to be fair in Charlotte, you kate, you still can't keep
people from pooping in the streets. So we we did have fun with that
audio yesterday and someoneman just trying to take her granddaughter the Discovery Center or whatever.
Maybe everybody Discovery Place. Maybe that was the review of the Discovery Place,
the homeless way you did that. But yeah, we had a story
this morning. I pointed out in California, did you ever do something where
you think you misread the headline or maybe the reporter got a word wrong.
And so in this case it was LA gang member on probation for attempted murder
crashes into uber kills three people. And I'm like, they mean parole,
right, because attempted murder, No, they might proba. Oh my god,
yeah he was on probation. And then I regaled the audience of the
time I was in high school and was in my buddy's truck and we had
a bottle of wine We're going to a party. And I got a minor
in possession and I was like sixteen seventeen and I had to go shovel horse
maneuver literally for several many many hours too, and I'm like wine, and
then I was pro paisano. It's a basque thing. We had a lot
of basque people in Wyoming and whining he stole it from his mom. I
don't. I wasn't gonna drink it. I was gonna drink beer. I
mean, I wasn't gonna drink anything. Officer, it wasn't in York.
I want a lawyer. Well it wasn't mine, but I was in the
vehicle and it didn't matter. But well whatever, Probably it was probably a
good thing because I remember. I remember I was like, my life's over.
I'm gonna have to go live as a hermit. Right, everything's done
on this one. And now I'm like, man, if I wait a
few years, I could go out and be really bad at gang member and
murdering foes and just get probation, Like I can make a cottage industry out
of it. That would be amazing. I don't. I don't know if
you could actually do the gang membering, what with the use of the term
foe. Did you just say murdering foes? Yeah? Foes? No?
No, No, that's right there, disqualified. Now you are going to
come in here and pretend like you have some like you got some street cred
on this. No, I'm just saying that's definitely not it. I'm not
claiming to have any I'm just saying foes is not one unless maybe, well,
hang on, are you rapping? And does it rhyme with something that
got don Imus fired? It? Well, to be fair, it was
more than the use of the word hose, and hose is a garden tool
as well, So maybe i'd wrap it about that, or I would just
mirror most of the the gangster rapper. Hoe is a perfectly acceptable rhymable word.
I don't know why we're having beef here. See that's another term I
just used, and I used the earl did maybe no cap no cap no
cap? Yeah? I do love. I do love the two people so
far that I have seen, and there's only two that have risen in defense
of the Democratic Party chairwoman's uh spocastic terrorism. The You know, my favorite
game that media plays with Republicans is the defend or disavow game D or D
right, where somebody says something you stick the mic in the face of every
single Republicans, they do defend or disavow that statement. So the only two
people I've seen you got Gary Pierce, right, who is who's defending the
statement saying it's not stochastic terrorism. And what's the name justin Parman or the
teachers union, not a union guy at a Charlotte the teacher guy who's saying,
you know, this is not stochastic rim And then remember, stochastic terrorism
was the term that all of a sudden rose to prominence to describe Republican politicians.
Whenever they would say anything that could even tangentially be connected to any kind
of violence anywhere in the world, they would say, well, they obviously
were motivated. That violent person or act was motivated by your comments way over
here at an earlier time that the attacker didn't even hear. Right. So
that's stochastic terrorism, the public demonization of a person or group that then results
in the incitement of a violent act. Right. So I'm just pointing out
that what the Democratic Party chair did, by the definition is stochastic terrorism.
That the media was super super interested in a mere a few months ago,
not just months ago, going back to Palin with her targeted district. Oh
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah so this, Yeah, the term
has grown in popularity since Donald Trump and J six and all of that.
So if we're going to be connecting dots, if there's any kind of an
attack or verbal assault or any kind of confrontation with any Republican lawmaker, now,
then that's what should be connected to. Uh, you know this,
these comments from the head of the Democratic Party just on a more I guess
how you process it. And we got about a minute and a half when
I saw this story emerging from UNC and there was a lot of info that
quickly came out, And of course there were a lot of a lot of
people sending the very same tweets over and over with the exact same words from
and and I just cringe at that. But as I try to pass through
it, I'm thinking, Okay, faculty member, student, he's in a
very high level of student of learning, right, Like, maybe d wasn't
cutting mustard and he saw this as the guy who was keeping him from getting
the grades or impressing the parents. Could it be as simplistic, is that
or did we just have to go on this merry go round. No,
it's it probably is just that they got fer he was at l Yeah,
he was at LSU before and they found some review he left of the student
Mental Health services where he gave him a one star rating because they didn't help
him, he said, And so he obviously was you know, he was
dealing with mental health issues. He had been working with this faculty advisor.
They had done research together. He's got a bunch of social media posts that
are you know, broken English, but kind of send this vibe that he
wasn't getting along with all of his classmates and advisor very well. Yeah,
yeah, all right, well, I mean and look how quickly we're able
to say, all right, well this is what we'll keep looking. But
no, instead others make kay pete, I got a role. I got
about five seconds. Thank you so much, sir, Thank you. I
enjoyed it. And we'll be back and see one O six one A them
talk five PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey
O Day and Carolinas Corning News. All right, welcome back eight thirty five
here on your Friday and Unfortunately, a little housekeeping I gotta do real quick.
But you know, this is this is how you This is how you
keep the integrity of the show. If you make a mistake or somebody questions
something, yeah give it a second look, little review. Like like the
other day we were talking about the bigger Hole West Virginia thing where I just
thought I made up a town name. But it's an actual town name,
and we did the due diligence. We've you know, looked it up and
checked it out and made sure you were armed with the facts. That's what
we do. Yeah, an email here Ross this concerns you, so you
know, pay attention. Hi Casey. I listen to your show each morning
and love the banter regarding Alive Garden. While I love they're all you can
eat breadsticks and salad, I've never considered them authentic Italian cuisine. My daughter
is a trained chef. She's trained both in New York City and Italy,
and we are actually Italian, so we know real Italian food. I even
found this article about Olive Garden chefs being trained in Italy and then it quotes
that in pretheses says they really are not. I thought you and Ross would
find it interesting, have a great weekend. So fact check, yeah,
fact check there as to whether they are in fact trained in the Tuscan Tuscan
region there. Did they even run that commercial anymore? But the way they
run the h do they run the our chefs are trained in Italy commercial on
TV anymore? I haven't even seen it. So oh anyway, Oh what
is this? Do do? Do? Do? Do? All right?
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four You know it's partially partially
tongue in cheek. So there's that. My headphones having an issue? What
is going on here right now? Oh? You made it through the whole
show? What are you doing to me? Now? All right? Let
me get to Let me get to this, just because I want to have
enough time to play all of this. Do you guys see the video of
the the guy in Nebraska got pulled over because he was on a hole a
bull and he didn't have a horse trailer or you know, livestock trailer of
any sort. Didn't even have a pick him up truck with like the big
fencing around the back where you can load an animal in there. I've done
that. Yeah, he just had a car and he decided, Hey,
you know what, I'm just gonna go ahead and cut literally the rope out
of the passenger seat here and make a few other adjustments, and we're gonna
tool on down the road and we'll get the bull loaded in there. And
he did, and as you can imagine, it drew a little bit of
attention. The officers preced a call reference a car driving into town that had
a cow in it. They thought that it was going to be, you
know, like a calf, something small, or something that actually fit inside
the vehicle. Wait, hold on, I in a place again, the
what's that now? The officers preced a call preference a car driving into town
that had a cow in it. They thought that it was going to be,
you know, like a calf, something smaller, something that actually fit
inside the vehicle. So let me let me get this straight. It wasn't
that it was a cow that concerned you. It was the size of the
cow. So like, like, a black angus is a lot bigger than
one of the other breeds that we have Scottish Highland. Scottish Highlander are smaller.
They just they winter better. So if it, like if it was
a black angus, you'd be more concerned than if it was Oh, Scottish
Highland. I mean, it's a baby calf. Just put it in the
baby car seat in the back right. It's a little cute baby calf.
They're not cute? Isn't that how it works? They're not cute? And
what's that? Well you gotta have but you know you gotta have him in
the in the reverse facing too, right for the maximum of course. Yeah,
okay, I was. It's a little unclear on how that all worked.
Yeah, I don't know. So apparently there were size limitations to the
proper Is this like when they be fund people because they're four year olds aren't
in a booster seat. I don't know what's going on. Look, the
car has clearly been customized, so they pull it over. As a result,
the officer performed a traffic stop and address some traffic violations that were occurring
with that particular situation. M address some traffic issues, but he's tooling down
the road. I'll tell you what what the officer didn't address? Ross.
Did you see what was on the front of the car? Uh? No,
I wasn't looking at the front. It was on the front. He
is a set of horns you know, like like so like he literally has
the carcass of that bull's buddy, do you know what I'm saying? That's
his buddy right there, and he's got he's got his So like there's a
whole kind of domaresque thing going on here, man, And I'm assuming that's
to keep the current live bull in the passenger seat in check because he saw
what happened to his buddy, who now adorns the front of the hood.
So what actually happened? Then the officer wrote him some warnings? There were
some sitable issues with that situation. The officer shows to write him a warning
and ask him to take the animal back home. Well wait, wait,
hold on, so you don't want him transporting the cow in the car,
but then you told him to transport the cow in the car. I have
an immense amount of questions with this, like if you if that did you
want him to walk it home? Because it looks like you let him drive
it home. And also, how'd you like to be the guy at the
detail shop. They're in Omaha or wherever this was in Nebraska, right and
you see this guy coming in the next day with that car. Because I
don't even know what the bull was doing the whole time it was standing there.
But it let's just say it was filling the back window. I mean,
they had to put in a lot of work on this car to fit
this big what two sea bowl or whatever it's called. It looks like like
be a baracus with his welding gear work hit on the van right, Like
there's like some serious improve I don't know if you want to call it an
improvement on this car to fit this stupid bowl in the in the thing,
I mean, it's ginormous. It's head of sticking out. It's like on
that episode of by five hundred Pound Life where they cut the all the seats
out. They made just count in one seat, right, And but his
horns is so big, like if you're driving, if they're driving down a
row and there's like a cyclist on the side, there's a chance that that
horn is going to take out the cyclist, like Piersome, it's just poking
out. Well, how tall is the cyclist things? I think he's kind
of up in the air. I'm surprised that car could even carry that bowl.
Yeah, I mean that thing, I don't know, enormous, it's
yeah, I mean it's if it probably is an excess of fifteen hundred pounds,
but you know, it'll get The thing did look like it was riding
a little low, but remarkably didn't look like it was riding a little low
on both sides or unevenly, so I don't maybe there was some suspension work
done with the with the welding unit, because holy holy cow, no pun
intended, right, But sometimes you just got to transport a bull, man,
what are you gonna do? I gotta get a bullet from point A
to point B. Got gotta gotta figure out a solution. I love the
name too. You won't play the TikTok thing too well, No, but
the TikTok thing is the audio just played, but like per piece to get
like the name was Howdy doody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well he's
there's a lot of duty, a lot of duty going on too in that
photo. Yeah. I always thought it was weird that we'd name some livestock
and not other livestock, Like the bulls had names, but the cows didn't.
The only cows got names were the ones that we were gonna slaughter,
that we quarantined for two weeks, so they were right next to the barn,
and my sisters be like, oh, her name is Sarah, and
then she disappear and I'd be like, ah, eat your hamburger, helper,
I'll tell you what's going on with Sarah. But like the bulls had
names, the horses had names. But like the rest of the cows and
calves, Dad didn't get names. They's got your tags with numbers. Well
both the the bulls did too, but they had names. So there you
go, Howdy doody. I had to go back home all right forty five
where he staged it from the Weather Channel. He can't even what's this country
coming to? You can't even crop top your vehicle and all your bull around
anymore. Many who would have thunk, I mean, it's uh, it's
you know, it's it's not your grandfather's America. That's all I'm saying.
I would agree. I would agree. But that was a big bull.
He has a big horns on him, did you see. But what I
thought was really morbid, though, is the on the front of the hood
there was a set of other horns from another bull who obviously didn't fare as
well, right, And I was like, that's gonna be a little disconcerting
if you're the bull. Oh exactly, you had your best behavior, man,
be like, where am I headed anyway? Yeah? Exactly? All
right, well are you gonna where are you headed? By the way,
sir? Are you gonna do anything for the three day weekend and so crazy
week for you? Yeah? Kind of kind of an easy one. Got
a four day weekend actually, so I won't be here Tuesday. Yeah,
well you know why. We've got Clemson at Duke Monday night. Say,
I'm aware, I've heard, I've heard of little something about this and then
certain professional football team kicks into action next week two. So yeah, that's
us next Sunday nights. I'll be off that Monday also September eleventh, so
you know how it goes a football season and me the big games, you
probably won't see me the next day most of the time. But yeah,
full slate now this weekend and a few games last night tonight. In the
Southeast, I mean, the weather is going to be beautiful, not only
here across the state, state's plural. I mean wherever you're gonna be down
in Athens. Beautiful weather tomorrow, lots of sunshine r and everybody could warm
up here. Upper seventies, low eighties today and tomorrow, probably closer to
ninety on Sunday and Monday, Monday, we could actually in the triangle sneak
into the mid nineties. Same thing for Tuesday. Tuesday may be the hottest
stress or the hottest day of this stretch, but we're gonna get out of
this area high pressure, get it pretty close to it, and we're gonna
have unseasonably warm weather and dry weather through at least Thursday of next week.
I'm gonna say, starting easily on Labor Day, lots of sunshine, lower
to middle nineties probably through Thursday, and overnight low is even starting to come
up. So those early tea times you mentioned last hour, Casey, yeah,
they won't feel so nice by Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, when we're
back in the seventies for low temperatures. And if you are headed Monday night
to the Duke Clemson game, beautiful weather, it's gonna be clear, calm.
I'm probably gonna fall after highs in the mid nineties. Yeah, I'll
probably still in the eighties at game time. But no rain, not even
a chance of rain. If it rains, I don't know. I just
I'd be shocked because right now it looks like a pretty confident forecast. If
you guys lose the duke, are you gonna like riot or what's gonna happen
if they do lose the duke? That's probably it. I just I'll say
two things. One, we don't know about the offense yet with Riley as
o c all right, so that's the big question. And I'll just say
this, beware the Clemson defense. I think they're getting some chatter. Are
they're getting some chatter? But you know there they are going to be ed
is going to be probably their highlight this year. I really think so.
It's gonna be one of the top defenses in Yeah, I just realized how
late I am. I thank you, sir. Have a good four day
weekend. Yeah, soon, we'll see you Wednesday. Jeff Bellinger. Next,
Hang on your Day, Smarter one FM Talks and News Talk five w
p TI more with Casey starts now. All right, Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg
News Quick Shot. What's up? Oh wait, hold on stupid phone.
There we go, all right, Jeff, fire away, sir, Okay,
Casey, what you really we need to know is that job growth was
a little better than expected last month. Labor Department reporting this morning that one
hundred eighty seven thousand workers were added to payrolls in August. The agency revised
its July data downward to show that one hundred fifty seven thousand jobs were added
for that month. The nation's unemployment rate jumped to three point eight percent.
It was at three and a half percent in July. And I'll skip down
to one final lightem Casey. The Taylor swift eras Tour concert film won't hit
the theaters until October thirteenth. AMC Entertainment said this morning the film has already
set a record for advanced sales. Casey, No, I'm gonna enough to
wait. What will I do? All right, Jeff, have a good
long weekend. We'll talk tuesday, sir. Okay, sounds good. YouTube.
Take care there you go, Jeff Flinger, Bloomberg News. All right,
let me just real quickly. I want to put a message. Ross
and I talked about this off the year, so I think you're on board
with this too. Mummy scientists, stop sending your press release. You guys
chicken littled yourself right. All these people study like ancient Egyptian mummies because I
see this, uh pharaoh's wet nurse. Scientists are are able to now recreate
the smell of the era from and this particular mummy was a nurse to a
pharaoh and they were able to use some sort of science or whatever. And
then they're gonna tell And the reason I'm snake bit on this is do you
remember when they made this big deal? And I think they like they even
like did a teaser on it. They're like, we, yeah, it
was a big production. We've been able to recreate what the pharaohs sounded like,
right, his voice, and so tune in and we're gonna play the
pharaoh's voice. What you know what he said? And what did you in
your mind? What did you picture you were going to hear ross when you
when you should old bow to me or something, you know, like something.
Yeah, well there's and there's some ego there obviously if you're a pharaoh,
because I mean, look at where you're buried, like some sort of
basse in the voice, maybe like some mum rattle, mum, something intimidating,
you know what I mean? All right, all right, all right?
And then uh, it was this which is like somebody who's trying to
learn how to use a dope call. I thought it was like him,
like poking his sister in the car or on the chariot. Oh, we
ran over Spartacus, So no, I don't care. We're gonna recreate with
this. Let me guess. Let me guess what they smelled like in the
desert, like sweat? Right? Is that? Is that? Like sarcophagus
and tomb death? So stupid we get odors? You know, it's like
like one of these pretentious wine snobs or they're like, I'm getting odors of
sweat, and well, what is that? That's sand? Get some sand?
I don't believe you dot after this that you open the sarcophagus and it
smelled like the authentic Italian cuisine of Tuscany? Did it really? Okay?
You learn nothing from your fact check? I see you know. I'm not
gonna comment that buffoonery. I will not sanction this buffoonery. He had evidence
you had actual food with Tuscan writing on right. I saw that yesterday,
So good for you. All right, we'll see you tuesday. Everybody,
stay safe, have fun,
