00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:03.799
Wonderful weekend. Sorry, I had
to grab my phone that I left over

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.240
literally in another room. So good
morning eight eight eight nine, three four

3
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:15.640
seven, eight seventy four. It
is the CaCO Day radio program. Where

4
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.000
do I start? Oh my goodness, from over the ross? Did you

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.199
have a good weekend? By the
way, let's start there. Make sure

6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.960
everyone was an amazing weekend? Yeah, okay, all right? Would you

7
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:32.079
do anything you wanna? Probably the
end of the Masters, right, no

8
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.119
totality, you know, I forgot
to check it out. I feel I

9
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.719
feel bad. Now. Did Lee
Trevino pull it off? He did not.

10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.079
He didn't. He didn't didn't even
make the cut actually, so some

11
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.240
would say that's because he wasn't there
with the start, but I'm not a

12
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.039
golf expert. But no, it
was a young Scottie Scheffler, one of

13
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.159
the gentlemen with the very pregnant wives
that we talked about. He ended up

14
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.679
pulling it out. Was it the
Billy Old Concert? Is that it was

15
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.840
that the topper for the weekend?
Oh? For us? No, man,

16
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.400
it's it's a long story. If
you want to hear it, I

17
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.680
would love to hear you. All
right. So about two weeks ago,

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.159
Okay. Lincoln has these playlists that
he makes on YouTube playlist of fifties,

19
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.359
sixties, and seventy songs. Yes, loves him. He's like an encycling

20
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.560
He's like an encyclopedia this music.
So he has the YouTube playlist and listen.

21
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.040
This has nothing to do with me. I have nothing to do with

22
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.719
this. I would not encourage this, but I sort of did. So

23
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.640
he has his playlist set up.
He started doing this about two weeks ago.

24
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.599
This song would end, he would
hit pause in his playlist. He

25
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.879
would walk up to the TV because
it's playing off the TV. He would

26
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.519
intro the song like he was the
DJ, and he would continue the next

27
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.239
song. And he would do this
throughout the entire playlist. And I'm like,

28
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.280
what are you doing, buddy?
And he goes, I'm playing radio.

29
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.439
I want to be a radio man. And where did this come from?

30
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.359
I and probably drugs or kids at
school. Right, you need to

31
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.639
be a doctor or a video games
or probably yeah, work for the CIA

32
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:13.319
or the Department of Defense. Right, isn't there isn't there isn't there a

33
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.960
radio station in Grand Theft Auto while
they're out murdering there, there's multiple radio

34
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.360
stations Yeah, So he's been asking
to come to the radio station and he

35
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.319
wants to record breaks for his playlist, and you realize there's so much that

36
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.599
he takes. I don't talk about
work a lot. He sees me working

37
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.759
on prepping stuff right right, And
you brought him in a handful of occasions,

38
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.120
and it's always been around him,
but you realize that he's been taking

39
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.680
stuff in without even knowing it.
Like he knows. He knows that it's

40
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.280
called a break when you talk between
the songs are up the ramp. He

41
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:47.919
knows who the post is. He
knows what a cold intro is. He

42
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.360
knows what a fate is, he
knows what a cold out is. No

43
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.439
child should be burdened with. He
is twelve, and he knows what a

44
00:02:53.439 --> 00:03:00.439
stop set is. Twelve especially,
Yeah, twelve year old knows that a

45
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.960
commercial is called a spot. These
are things that he knows that he is

46
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.879
just sort of like picked him nately, yeahately. Yeah, So we brought

47
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.840
him into the radio station. He
was very, very nervous, and we

48
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.039
were he wanted to He has over
like one hundred and thirty songs or something

49
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.039
on his playlist. He wanted to
record a break for every single one,

50
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.039
and I said, buddy, I
love you, but that is like,

51
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.240
plus, that's not even how an
a rotate works, correct, Right,

52
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.639
So I could explain it to him
how He's like, hey, you should

53
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.000
talk over every three or every five. Right. So we brought him in

54
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.479
and he recorded his show, his
quote show, and he uploaded the playlist

55
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.000
to YouTube, and I shared it
on my Twitter, my x account,

56
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.919
and Facebook at Hayes for Sheriff,
and I retweeted it in the show account

57
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.159
at Casey on the radio. Did
he get monetized or no, No,

58
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.599
it's not MONTI. I mean,
we can't do it anyway because it's all

59
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.520
you know, it's music exactly.
Yeah, yeah, I just it sucks

60
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.039
that he has to learn this sucky
side of this too. So but you

61
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.800
know what, it sounds like he
literally would learn it regardless of whether you

62
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.000
showed it to it. He started
off very nervous. Towards the end of

63
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.439
it, dude, he was having
fun and he was sounding good. Oh

64
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.400
yeah, yeah, like you can
you can tell a major difference even between

65
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.520
the first break he does in the
second break, but if you want to

66
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.719
check it out in the whole playlist, and he's like, by hand.

67
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.439
He has chosen this playlist and it's
in a very specific order that I don't

68
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.199
quite understand. But I do not
move a song in that playlist because he'll

69
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.439
know like traffic, Yes, yeah, yeah, that's cool man. I

70
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:28.839
saw your wife posting pictures because you
know that's what she does all the time.

71
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.920
Yeah yeah, I'm just like that. Looks like that was probably they're

72
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:38.480
probabing a good time, so a
hundred he wanted to do a bring.

73
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.680
I'm like, how many do you
want to do? Every song? Like?

74
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.920
Guy, all right, you better
watch out. They may hire him,

75
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.600
wouldn't it be surprised? Ah,
have you heard of? What do

76
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.839
you mean? You're my boss?
Now? Yeah? All right, that's

77
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.800
cool man, it's cool. So
uh yeah, yeah it was. I

78
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.240
saw those pictures, so I was
cheating. I alays saw your wife posting

79
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.839
the pictures. I was cheating a
little, And you know what, good

80
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.839
on you. I love the masters, man. And there was some there

81
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.519
was some crazy stuff. But the
amount of time that you have to invest

82
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.319
in that, well, listen,
that's easier when you don't have a family

83
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.439
at home. Man, did I
was hooked all weekend? Did I want

84
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.160
to come into the radio station of
my day off note. But in the

85
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.480
end I was very happy, Oh
yeah, yeah, that's not but that's

86
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.959
not coming into work. It would
have been one thing. If you're there

87
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.000
and then all of a sudden,
like like it's uh, you know any

88
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.680
scene from the movie Office Space right, We're like Boss Mike, he watchs

89
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.160
in there. He say, hey, you're here on a Saturday. Can

90
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.639
you do something ps reports? And
he's production. You're like, no,

91
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.800
my family's here. Man. He's
like, we'll have a BELP check your

92
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.040
PPO, buddy. Oh wow,
have you even checked your PPR? Are

93
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.360
you down with PPO? Oh?
So all right? Cool? Cool?

94
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.279
Did you witness although by the by
the time the Billy Joel concert kicked off

95
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.600
on CBS, yea, I'm sure
you were home because it was post prep.

96
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.439
Did you get into that for a
second? No, smart, we

97
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.600
we We've been into the new Fallout
show on Amazon. I had to resist

98
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.439
the urge because I have, like, I have shows backing up on shows,

99
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.600
and I took the plunge on one
of the others because I didn't have

100
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.240
a bunch of time this weekend to
watch Rando shows. I didn't go fall

101
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:20.879
Out. You know what, I
watched Franklin. Are you familiar with the

102
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.680
New Franklin series of Benjamin Franklin or
there's a mini series of Benjamin Franklin.

103
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.240
And Oh, that's the thing.
The Kirk Douglas is in right, Michael

104
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.959
Douglas. Yeah, Kirk Douglas way
dead, rest in peace too, although

105
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.240
kind of when you watch you're like, is that Kirk Douglas. Yeah,

106
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:41.040
it's Michael Douglas. Yeah, was
gonna be in it. And I was

107
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.920
like, I don't know about it, but I saw like a still photo

108
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.600
of him, like promo Photo'm like
he sort of looks like Benjamin Franklin.

109
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.240
I'm gonna tell you all right,
Well look i'll tell you. I give

110
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.480
you. I'll give you the the
rundown here. Now it's I broke my

111
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.439
rule because I thought I want the
whole thing to be there before I start

112
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.439
watching it. Ross knows this.
We've talked. I mentioned on the air,

113
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.120
but every time we talk on That's
why the Fallout series was gonna be

114
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.519
it. But this weekend was tough
because the whole thing is there, right,

115
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.879
So I was like, oh,
watch the I'll watch the Franklin series

116
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.800
and if I only get through a
few episodes. It won't kill me.

117
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.360
Well, I my brain didn't like
check to see. I thought it was

118
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.519
all there and only three episodes were
there, which was actually the right amount.

119
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.040
But now I'm kind of committed to
that. I have some thoughts,

120
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.759
and then I saw this morning,
Like the first thing I saw this morning

121
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:39.120
was Michael Douglas being asked about it. I have I have some additional thoughts

122
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.480
that'll go with it. So we'll
get to we'll get to that, We'll

123
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.319
get to the masters insanity. I
think there was some stuff that happened in

124
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.040
Israel that a bunch of you in
my email are clamoring for me to make

125
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:55.800
the whole show about this. Reads
Uh, what happened in Israel? Don't

126
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:05.639
don't don't don't don't don't? How
do I not? How do I?

127
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.399
How do I not? So hang
on, we'll fit it all in coming

128
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.680
up on the Cacoday radio program.
So when you work in broadcasting, you're

129
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.000
going to be presented with choices,
especially depending on the type of broadcasting you're

130
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.079
doing. They are they will come
at you. They will come at you

131
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:30.920
for a variety of reasons. And
those choices, especially when they surround a

132
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.919
decision during an event broadcast, are
going to be important choice, not just

133
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.440
during event broadcast. And here's what
I mean by this. At some point

134
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.120
in a radio career, likely you
are going to have to make a decision

135
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:54.200
to transition from a piece of programming
that is ongoing but is going on outside

136
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.960
of when it was normally supposed to
for whatever reason, into some other piece

137
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.559
use of plan programming. And you
know, I will say this, even

138
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.120
though it's I don't know, the
gap has been closed. Usually your decision

139
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.639
was not supposed to be one that
was just a fiduciary decision, right,

140
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.879
and and that's fine, but one
rather that's going to reflect the best and

141
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.559
be the most explainable on air to
the audience, which is ultimately who you're

142
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.720
accountable for, because it is even
though your audience is technically they're not your

143
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.080
financial they are, right, or
your financial reason for existing, they they

144
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.519
still are. Because the model is
we want as many of you folks to

145
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.639
listen to Ross and I say dumb
stuff, and then our salespeople can go

146
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.720
out and find advertisers who are like, hey, so those guys are funny

147
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.120
sometimes, and then that's how this
that's how this works, right. So

148
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.320
then you don't. We don't just
bill you every month. And that's the

149
00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:01.200
circle of life. So with that
in mind, there are on occasion going

150
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.200
to be times where there isn't a
right decision, but there is an easily

151
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.559
definable wrong decision. Now, I've
worked in talk longer than Ross, but

152
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.000
it's not just talk. I've had
to make this decision in music settings too.

153
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.200
And the rule number one is,
whatever decision you make, somebody's gonna

154
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:28.000
call and yell about it. Somebody's
gonna call and complain about this free product

155
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.480
of ours. It's it's the Ross. Do I speak lies or do I

156
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.639
speak truth? Because I feel like
there's a lot of men and you need

157
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.840
to preach okay, right, just
whatever happens. You know, it's very

158
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.919
most people are politish. I say
politish because some are just very matter of

159
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.519
fact, which is fine with me, but others are not so politish.

160
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.120
And I'll give you an example before
I head into what that happened with CBS

161
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.360
yesterday. So I worked the very
first talk station I ever had a part

162
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.000
in. I didn't directly work on
the stage, but I had a management,

163
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.919
a middle management kind of role in
addition to the on air work that

164
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.799
I did do was a was a
locally news talk in outside of the Twin

165
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.120
Cities in Minnesota, which is technically
where I worked first before I went to

166
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:22.879
Minneapolis and worked for iHeart. So
I was I was. I was in

167
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.360
a position where I could make those
decisions, and the worst one to have

168
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.360
to make a decision about was the
midday broadcast of KWNO, which is in

169
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.279
Winona, Minnesota. Check that out
all right anyway, and it's just you

170
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.840
know, it's a station that starts
local host. We had a local guy

171
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.559
there for years. They just the
morning round up, reads news obituaries.

172
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.519
Anyone's lived in a in a smaller
more rule setting for radio or smaller town,

173
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.840
you know how local you can get
there. And it ran Limbaugh,

174
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.440
but you have to understand it's in
the Central time zone. So Limbaugh comes

175
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:09.879
on at eleven and runs till two. But the station's clock or schedule was

176
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.039
we would run live the first hour
of Limbaugh eleven and noon, and then

177
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:20.559
at noon the morning host would come
in and he would do a noon news

178
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.000
hour and feature hour that it wasn't
just news, it was also remember the

179
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.960
long form Paul Harvey in addition to
the rest of the story had a long

180
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.440
form thing. We would run that
and that was the format, and the

181
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.600
listeners were fine with it because it
had always been that somewhere and I guess

182
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.399
if they were new, But you
then got Limbaugh delayed. But that was

183
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.679
the source for Limbaugh. It wasn't
the world of podcasts, and it worked.

184
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.720
But if Limba got moved an inch, and if God forbid, there

185
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.600
was a recording air because Paul Harvey. We used to have this thing called

186
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.759
patch chords, remember the old when
you see like an old reporter and they're

187
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.559
plugging things in the wall. That
used to be how you'd get radio audio

188
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.000
from one place to another. Now
we use a digital version of that,

189
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.080
which is much easier, isn't it. Ross Oh, we love it so

190
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.120
much better than patch cords that you
can see and you just know work.

191
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.559
And if Limbaugh didn't get recorded because
somebody put a patch cord in the wrong

192
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.279
place, or there was an issue
and you had to make a decision,

193
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.919
or if there was a breaking news
story and you had to move, either

194
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.320
of those just leave the building.
Man and I had to make a couple

195
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.720
of calls over the years, so
I understand that. But again, there

196
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.360
may not be a right answer,
but there's usually a definably wrong one.

197
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.559
Yeah, and if you're forced to
make a difference sort of answer, then

198
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.240
somebody likes like involving that Limba situation. Then you're gonna get tons of messages

199
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:48.320
about how you're you're you're part of
the illuminati or the globalists or why are

200
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.240
you trying to censor rush or all
that kind of stuff. Fuck you forgot?

201
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.159
Yeah right, Yeah, well it
was a different time. I didn't

202
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.240
hear that word back then. Yeah, that's more prevalent. You know exactly

203
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.960
what I'm going to Yeah, all
right, So that being said, as

204
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:09.480
I transitioned from the master's little work, getting the uh well prep together and

205
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.720
just you know, buckling in for
another week of busy broadcast. As mister

206
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.679
Limball used to say, I got, I was like, you know what

207
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.440
I'm gonna do, is Billy Joel
think it's the right kind of thing.

208
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.799
It's something where there's a there's an
entertainment factor, but I'm not going to

209
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.120
be so emotionally involved in it.
I thought that it will prevent me from

210
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.919
falling to sleep. And then all
of a sudden he gets sting out there

211
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.399
Jerry Seinfeld's hosting this thing, and
even though I wasn't a Seinfeld show guy,

212
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.440
I like Jerry Seinfeld, which is
a weird paradox. But and you

213
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.759
know, I'm like, I'm in
I'm in on this. You know why,

214
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.960
because for a moment, it felt
before you all not all of you,

215
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.759
behalf lost your minds. That's what
that felt like. Where I didn't

216
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.879
have to think about Billy Joel's politics. I didn't have to or Jerry Seinfeld's

217
00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:01.159
I don't or any of it.
I could just go from the thing over

218
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.559
the other thing and be and it
was good. I'm like, this is

219
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.720
a good Sunday. And then,
depending on which of the affiliates you you

220
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.679
were watching, this thing happened.
And by the way I am, I'm

221
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.399
I don't believe CBS, and I'll
tell you what they say, but I

222
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.840
want you to listen what happened.
And all of a sudden, I was

223
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.240
so emotionally invested because it's a Billy
Joel concert. We've been listening to it

224
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.919
for like an hour and a half
at this point, Ross, are you

225
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.960
a Billy Joel fan? Do you
like Billy Joe? Billy Joel used to

226
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.600
be in like my top three.
Okay, so what would you say?

227
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.399
What if you had to introduce somebody
to Billy Joel and they're like, well,

228
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.919
what song should I listen to?
What might be a suggestion or two?

229
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.720
Uh? Scenes from an Italian restaurant. And by the way, they

230
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.120
killed it last night with that,
it was great moving out my life.

231
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.039
It's all about soul some eighties.
Yeah, I like it. Piano Man

232
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.440
obviously, Oh wow, that's that's
that's weird that you say that. So

233
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.440
pianre you think that's a big one
for him? Huh? And then I

234
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.279
think that would be the biggest one. I think, yeah, that is.

235
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.919
If he's younger, you probably think
it's fired. We didn't start fire.

236
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.399
But no, piano man is the
jam, right. He's well aware

237
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:12.399
of that too. I mean he
said a numerous occasions. He's well aware.

238
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.759
If he doesn't sing that they're gonna
burn the place down, he has

239
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.960
to sing it. Well he uh, we don't know because he was doing

240
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:26.000
Piano Man and look, does Billy
Joel sound like Billy Joel from then?

241
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.200
No, And he even admitted he
did Innocent Man, which is one of

242
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.480
my favorite Billy Joel songs and there's
and he even did this whole thing where

243
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.480
he's talking about how there's there's some
high notes. He's seventy. He says

244
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.440
he's gonna try and uh, you
know, did he get album quality from

245
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.759
that? No? But he's seventy. And I'm watching this and I'm like,

246
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.240
fine, just look at least you're
not driving drunk into somebody's house in

247
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.279
Oyster Bay. I'm fine with this. This is good. There hasn't been

248
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.120
a whiff of politics. I'm enjoying
myself here, let's go. This is

249
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:15.240
from CBS. This is a Watcher
and Roy good stuff. I'm taking this.

250
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:26.759
What what hold on? Pause?
This is the pause? Next eleven

251
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:32.599
A raising awareness for suicide? How
one Oak County? Why lost? And

252
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.400
what an appropriate topics? Warm waiters
impacting Maple Syrup productions? Oh no,

253
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:42.039
oh no, my god, man, let's stop one. You've heard it

254
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:49.200
before? What? What? What
I did? The Maple Syrup news?

255
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.200
Is that what you mean? Her
piano band? This song? You've heard

256
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.920
it? Come on, I have
You're right, I have, I have

257
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.200
heard it. No, what a
way to ruin the mood. The worst

258
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.240
possible thing you could do in this
situation. You hiding yourself. Heidi's a

259
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.119
thing, and it's not even your
thing. It's ABC's thing. Don't be

260
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.640
a Heidi. I understand it's kind
of a reverse, you know, but

261
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:18.000
what what are you doing? And
so CBS is like, well, we

262
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.400
had some local affiliates make that decision. Oh that's interesting. You know,

263
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:30.960
as somebody who is familiar with what
being an affiliate's like, it's not as

264
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:38.039
simple as that. It's not as
simple as that generally when you live in

265
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:45.440
in I don't know how it works
at the TV level when it's a networked,

266
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.599
owned stationed station, which some are
and some aren't. But I do

267
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:55.599
know that being an affiliate is has
comes with obligations and a lot of times

268
00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:02.119
comes with direction. Like when we
were we had contracts with Minnesota Vikings,

269
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.960
Minnesota Twins. Over the years that
I worked there, we've had contracts here

270
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:12.039
in North Carolina with the UNC tar
Heels on the Greensboro side, with tar

271
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:18.000
Hills in state and Wake Forest and
these are not new things. And when

272
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.960
it comes to something like that,
I understand the local affiliates they are they

273
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.039
want their local news because it's a
huge revenue stream. I get that,

274
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.680
But for CBS to sit there and
say the local affiliates made the decision.

275
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:40.839
When it all happened at the same
time, you need to better explain that.

276
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.440
Was there a thing in your carriage
agreement, your franchise agreement that allowed

277
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.920
them to do it. Did somebody
at CBS have to go yep, okay,

278
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.559
all right, We've hit the time
you can do it. What are

279
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.000
those conversations like, Because the end
product is people in some of your biggest

280
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.680
media markets, many of your biggest
media markets, who tuned in for an

281
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.400
event that you promoted for months,
watched you flip a switch, and in

282
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:10.079
each of the instances I've seen,
there is this weird delay. Right,

283
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:15.039
It wasn't a smooth transition, So
that's why it's to some extent the timing

284
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.160
was orchestrated. It all happened at
the same time. How do you do

285
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:25.519
that? Why do you do that? Why do you take this little nostalgic

286
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.519
masters to Billy Joel concert moment fun
Sunday that I'm a fun Sunday evening that

287
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:36.680
I'm having him do that. I
watch, you know, Scottie Scheffler go

288
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.160
out and fight off the competition.
Also his wife trying to baby trap him.

289
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.680
If that's a thing, right,
Remember he was the one who said

290
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.759
he'd get out of there. He
won the thing again, second time in

291
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:52.000
three years. It was great.
I watched the an amateur who looks like

292
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.319
he is serial killer who plays really
good golf play with Tiger Woods when he

293
00:20:55.359 --> 00:21:02.200
saw him. Bit interviewed after because
he was top amateur. Oh what are

294
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:08.279
we doing CBS. We'll explore next
hang on the CaCO Day radio program where

295
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:14.039
we've we've struck everything with a wrench, so we'll go from there, all

296
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.519
right, Ross. So I didn't
have a chance to watch this normally,

297
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.480
I don't make this stuff a high
priority because SNL has become what SNL has

298
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.799
become. But yeah, dude,
that would have added to this whole weekend

299
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.960
where you're just like, for a
moment, like, is it before everyone

300
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.319
lost their damn mind? No exactly. So I stumbled across the SNL skit

301
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.559
this weekend. It was so funny
and a Cole Markey in and it's more

302
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.960
of like a visual gag, but
it's probably the funniest SNL's been in years.

303
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.920
So I almost, well, hold
on, I don't want to I

304
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.240
want to ruin all this for everybody. I want you to. I want

305
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.759
you to go see the damn thing. We got it on the blog at

306
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.319
Casey on the radio, and then
we'll we'll link it out to you.

307
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.559
By the way, here is it's
it it raw. This is right.

308
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.279
You gotta visually see it. But
if you are our age, you're older,

309
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.960
you're I'm sure you're very familiar with
Beavis and butt Head. Beavis and

310
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:18.119
butt Head was, you know,
Zeitgeist during the time I was coming up.

311
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.960
It was such a big an MTV
for that matter, because when I

312
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.440
was in middle school, MTV wasn't
a regular It wasn't on the regular cable

313
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.759
package. Even so you had to
be one of the ranch kids with satellite

314
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.720
to get it, and so we
had a chance to watch, so people

315
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:38.599
would come over and watch it.
And Beavis and butt Head irritated the entire

316
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:45.359
state of Wyoming too when the Beavis
and butt heead Do America came out because

317
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.200
of a few seconds of gag jokes
where they made fun of Metitzi and big

318
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:55.799
Piney, which are two which by
the way, we all did because they're

319
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.279
funny words. Big Piney. When
you're a you're a a twelve year ol

320
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.880
thirteen year old boy, that's funny
as hell. And Matzzi if you're a

321
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.000
kid from Metitzzi. Now I was
an adult, I'm like, oh,

322
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.480
it's yeah, that's fine, nice
place. But it was funny, and

323
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.240
so they made the jokes. They
made the jokes and went, you know,

324
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:19.279
did their little Beavis and butt head
laugh and like they had like the

325
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:25.079
governor was mad. It's it was
so weird. But anyway, so for

326
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:29.920
whatever reason, they did this skit
where they're at a you know, like

327
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:34.079
a town hall meeting learning about AI. So you have like the serious news

328
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:40.160
reporter lady, you have the uh, you know, the learned professor who

329
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:45.160
who is also obviously somebody who's a
Beavis and butthead fans she's not. And

330
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.279
uh, there's two guys dressed in
the in the audience who are wearing the

331
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:55.759
exact hair shorts T shirts they were
always in, you know, they're whatever.

332
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.680
Yeah. Right when I found the
skit, so I'm scrolling and I

333
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.720
stopped really fast before even hit play
because I'm like, the guy in the

334
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.079
background looks like Beavis, and I'm
like, maybe that's just me. And

335
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.440
then I'm like, oh, it's
s and l I'm like, oh,

336
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.799
my it's part of the skit.
So at this point in the beginning,

337
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:14.279
you can only see the Beavis guy. Yeah, and and so the so

338
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:19.720
immediately the professor locks on because it's
right in his field of vision, and

339
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:26.039
the the woman who is the the
interviewer, even I I didn't hear that.

340
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.759
Ross was literally just dubbing an audio, so I don't know which part

341
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:32.599
she got, but she's like,
she she has not seen it, she

342
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.599
said, because in high school she
was pretty or something, right, And

343
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:40.880
then to Ross's point, that happens, and then all of a sudden,

344
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.039
he said he he needs him to
move, So the guy trade seats with

345
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.599
somebody off camera, and then the
guy who sits town looks like Butt.

346
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:49.480
Heead and even has his upper lip
ups. He can see his gums,

347
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.319
And then that turns into it thing
it is. It is funny, but

348
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.359
it's absolutely something you gotta lay eyes
on. But I'll play a little lo

349
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:08.119
Yeah, there's a gentleman in your
audience who looks strikingly similar to Beavis from

350
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:14.759
the cartoon Beavis and Butt. It's
just a little distracting. I'm not familiar

351
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:21.759
with that cartoon, but wouldn't help
if he moves seats. Yeah, yeah,

352
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:23.880
that might be a good idea.
It's the gentleman in the blue shirt

353
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:30.559
and blonde pompador. And by the
way, at that moment, she starts

354
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.920
laughing, and it's just over for
her. I have a feeling from her

355
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.640
reaction that they didn't tell her or
she didn't know what they were going to

356
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:45.480
look like, maybe you do a
full but just her reaction is she looks

357
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.880
like really shocked and surprise, like
how funny it is? Especially butt Head.

358
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.839
Butt Head looks right, yes,
yes, yes, it's put the

359
00:25:52.920 --> 00:26:00.079
curled lip and every oh yeah,
spot on. Man, sir, do

360
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:06.799
you mind moving? I'm sorry you're
talking about me. I have no idea

361
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.279
what's going on? I'm sorry?
What? Yes, can you move the

362
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:15.599
seats? Okay, sure, I'm
sorry. I just I've never heard of

363
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:22.000
that cartoon character. And you really
never watched Beavis and butt Head when you

364
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.359
were a teenager? No, I
was pretty so I was going to parties

365
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.680
and hooking up. Now, Professor, if AI is left unregulated, what

366
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:38.240
is your worst case scenario? Oh
my god, are you serious? What?

367
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.599
I think that's a valid question.
No, Now, they're a gentleman

368
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:49.559
behind you that looks like butt Head. Honestly, the adience members aren't as

369
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:53.119
informed the question on Twitter. I
don't know if you didn't hear that's where

370
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:57.559
I watched and hang out butt Head
from the cartoon. He beabs his friend,

371
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.440
I hate it, like to move
on and discuss AI, So would

372
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:04.279
you like him to move? All
right? All right? So this goes

373
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.839
on the part where I lost it
just because it was kind of a quick

374
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:10.000
thing. Is then they go all
right, well, let's get a question

375
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.160
from our from our audience, and
then they do that thing where they cut

376
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:15.920
to a tweet like it's an audience
question and it's I don't have it in

377
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:21.160
front of me, but it's a
I am cornholy and I need more tpee

378
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:26.480
for my bung hole, which is
you know anything about the show that's an

379
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.640
immediate and and he's like, that's
from the show, and then she plays

380
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.200
dumb and then starts laughing again.
It's it's yes, yeah, it's very

381
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.440
good skit, but it's like it's
it reminds me that you're saying talking about

382
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.880
the past before people went crazy.
It's like SNL back when they're funny,

383
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:44.640
and SNL would was always at its
best when it was random and silly and

384
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.799
weird. You didn't tell me anything
about it, by the way, And

385
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.480
so when I saw it was a
political setting, because I did not see

386
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:52.279
it it was Beavis and butt Head. I thought it was going to be

387
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:57.079
I thought they were going to be
representative of Trump and Biden. And I

388
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:00.400
would have been fine with that,
by the way, right because you're going

389
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.599
on there and you're scuring you know, us, skewer both. I thought

390
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.480
it was going to be some I
thought it was gonna be some political thing

391
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.240
when I clicked play, and I
was pleasantly surprised that it was not.

392
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:12.920
And no, to your point,
no I don't. I don't expect that

393
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:18.759
from them anymore. I have very
low expectations. So uh but anyway,

394
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.160
we got we got the link for
you, or if you just want to

395
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:25.359
go right to the blog at Casey
on the radio, you will find it

396
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:32.359
there and do with it what you
will. All right, let's see here

397
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:40.160
so mentioned obviously the masters uh yesterday, that was a good watch over the

398
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:47.880
weekend watching uh Scheffler watching Texas defeat
uh Ludvig. I got nothing against that,

399
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.000
dude, It's just so there was
there was a golfer a lot of

400
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:56.799
people are not familiar with because European
golfer named Ludwig Auburg, I'm probably mispronouncing

401
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.680
it, not for Germany, actually
from Sweden, but actually also I think

402
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:07.519
he lives in Texas like Scheffler does. So okay, but yeah, so

403
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:14.880
you had you had that and then
Mark marcaw at third. But it was

404
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.640
interesting, you know, it was. It was a good tournament. There

405
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:19.319
was some there were some great shots, there were some big you know,

406
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.799
the Master's chorus causes guys to go, uh tin cup if you remember that

407
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:33.920
Kevin Costner movie. They literally Sergio
Sergio Garcia did it a few years ago

408
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.440
and one of the holes just kept
hitting balls. I mean he had to,

409
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.079
but what do you take on the
hole, like a thirteen or something.

410
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.319
That's my kind of golf, So
there's always the possibility of that.

411
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.559
So yeah, it was. It
was just it was very nostalgic all around.

412
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.799
Now Scheffler has two green jackets now
and at no point during the ceremony

413
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:57.799
yesterday Ross did I see them reference
him being able to stack now. Yeah,

414
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:00.000
no, he could stack it.
That's fifth. That's half off at

415
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.759
all of garden. But nobody said
anything during the jacket ceremony. I watched

416
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:11.640
the thing. It's dereliction of duty. Maybe they probably just did they give

417
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.640
you a little sheet because there's so
much, so many discounts that you just

418
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.720
don't have time when you're in Butler
cast and probably what it is like you

419
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.839
ever you've been broadcasting before and you've
get like a sponsorship list where it was

420
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.599
like yeah instance, right, yeah, just like get a few in each

421
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.160
break kind of the yeah, now
that's probably what it is, all right,

422
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.240
So uh, yeah that happened.
I did have one other entertainment.

423
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:41.599
Oh, I watched the the The
Franklin uh is what it's called The Benjamin

424
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:49.720
Franklin Show with Michael Douglass, and
it is a very stylized, hollywoody version

425
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:52.920
of the time, which I think
is by the way, I think it's

426
00:30:52.920 --> 00:31:00.039
one of more a very fascinating story
of US history, the all of the

427
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:11.240
events that transpired during during his long
dormancy in in France during the during the

428
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:18.359
US Revolution, and like if if
you've never most of it looked accurate.

429
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.359
I didn't sit there with you know
where I was going and checking all of

430
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:27.240
it on the bigger points, right, like the people, the players are

431
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:30.599
all there. The process of how
it went down. A lot of people

432
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.160
think he went over there and was
just chilling at the you know, the

433
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:41.079
upstart US embassy and then just meeting
with folks in regular diplomatic channels, and

434
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.839
that was not it at all.
Franklin went over there. He brought his

435
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.720
grandson, which that's a fascinating story
too, by the way, because the

436
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:56.039
reason he has charge of his grandson
is because his father, the grandson's father,

437
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:02.079
the son of Benjamin Franklin, is
in prison because he was a loyalist.

438
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:09.400
He was an active loyalist. So
that family dynamic obviously adds a layer

439
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.160
to the show, but is an
actual family dynamic. Benjamin Franklin's own son

440
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:23.839
rejected the cause of independence and did
so rather aggressively to the point where he

441
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:30.920
was actually over the course of the
war he was put into prison. And

442
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:36.160
there's a lot of other factors there. And so Benjamin Franklin has his grandson,

443
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:40.200
who's seventeen at the time that they
go over, and he goes over

444
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:46.960
to see if he can get France
to or wealthy French individuals. It doesn't

445
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:53.680
even have to be the crown per
se to fund the Revolutionary War and the

446
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:59.119
armaments that were necessary. You have
Schumont who's in there, who was a

447
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:04.480
very very wealthy shipping dude over in
France. And you have a representation of

448
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:10.160
French French society that looks so over
the top as to be comically uh exaggerated,

449
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.680
but in reality is not just a
weird era. The powdered wig era

450
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:21.680
of France is weird. Man just
by today's standards, this strange stuff.

451
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:28.559
You have the Marquis de Lafayette.
You have h and that story is reflected

452
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:35.359
in there, and uh, it's
but it's very hollywoody. You also have

453
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:40.359
and I can't people were complaining because
there's a one of the the the aristocratic

454
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:46.960
class in in in France is a
is purported to be a woman, but

455
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.839
French society believes it to be a
man in drag, which is probably pretty

456
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:58.599
easy to pull off in French society
at that time, because people old dress,

457
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:04.039
you know, it's crazy how they
dress, and there's so many exaggerated

458
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:08.079
wigs and makeup and everything. And
people are like, oh, they threw

459
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:15.960
that in there, but in reality
that that is an important it's it's a

460
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.960
semi important I should say, a
portion of the history of what of what

461
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:27.519
Franklin was trying to do, and
he went over there just basically he went

462
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:32.639
over there at a time when Benjamin
Franklin was actually a very very very famous

463
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:37.880
person in the world, but not
for the reason that you think the revolutionary

464
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.760
thing was one thing, right and
you know, the thought that France would

465
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:47.880
want to join this to humiliate the
the British, but also everyone thought,

466
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:57.760
everyone thought at that time that Benjamin
Franklin had discovered electricity, and he had

467
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:00.760
obviously had written a book with you
know, little quips and summations, which

468
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:09.239
was incredibly popular, but also was
I believe forbidden in France. And so

469
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:15.079
he went over there and people were
swarming him literally from the moment they landed

470
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:20.000
to the time he was making his
trek from laharv La have Her. I

471
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:23.840
can't remember which port he landed at
to you know, into Paris and Passe

472
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.840
Passe is where he spent most of
his time. So and nobody would talk

473
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:34.199
to him, nobody the king had
forbidden anyone who's in his inner circle from

474
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.639
communicating with him because it's a huge
diplomatic thing, and so he spent his

475
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:43.039
time trying to figure out all these
different behind the scenes channels and like,

476
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:49.880
it's fascinating stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed
it, and I've just watched the first

477
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.920
few episodes. It's very slow,
but if you're following along, I thought

478
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:58.440
it was very entertaining. Here's where
the problem started. I wake up this

479
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:02.320
morning and I see that Michael Douglas
and I understand a question was posed to

480
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:06.920
him, who, by the way, is seventy nine and he's playing a

481
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:13.280
seventy year old Franklin would have been
seventy at the time, and he decided,

482
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.199
here we go. In his interview
with GQ, Douglas talked about how

483
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:22.920
his new series Franklin immediately struck him, like, as a seven year old

484
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:27.480
in England or in America in eighteen
hundred, the average lifespan was thirty nine.

485
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:30.679
I think it gave me great fate. Now keep in mind, people

486
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:35.000
think when they hear that average lifespan
that that's because everyone just died at thirty

487
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.119
nine. But in reality, that's
what happens when you math in infant mortality

488
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:43.840
rates that are pretty significant and childhood
mortality rates, so you know, it's

489
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.320
like when you got a zero one
time in class, and he struggled to

490
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:51.760
keep an a there you go.
So with that in mind, he gave

491
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:55.519
his GQ interview, and inevitably,
him being a playing a seventy year old

492
00:36:55.559 --> 00:37:01.519
and he himself seventy nine, the
conversation drifted and it drifted over to our

493
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:06.639
current president situation. Uh, and
I'll let you know what He set them

494
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:08.480
up against the clock here, So
we'll get to that and much more,

495
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:13.960
plus what happened in Israel. We'll
talk about it coming up KCO Day Radio

496
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:19.960
program, hang on Aco Day Radio
program, Monday edition. All right,

497
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.920
so we're gonna get into the Iran
stuff here in just a moment. And

498
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:30.679
I got to tell you I'm not
one for unless it's to explain how an

499
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:35.800
entire forest got burned down. I'm
usually not one for the gender reveal insanity.

500
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:40.079
I'm okay with this, ross.
I'm assuming you're okay with this.

501
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:46.199
In the world of gender reveal stories, we've done that, aren't That doesn't

502
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:52.519
include arsening an entire forest, because
yeah, you will be too. I'll

503
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.400
explain what's going on here in moments. So anyway, I was talking about

504
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.960
the the Franklin thing. It's on
Apple TV. By the way. Somebody

505
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:02.840
sent me an email. I'm sorry. I thought I mentioned that it's on

506
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:07.159
Apple TV, so if you have
it, if you don't, I wouldn't

507
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.400
even have it, except it's part
of the one package, and so it

508
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:14.039
gets me the other stuff and I'm
stupid, So whatever. So I watched

509
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:17.639
it, and it is what it
is. I enjoy the little nuggets of

510
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:22.119
history. And they did ring a
lot of the bells on what is a

511
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:29.360
very it's an very important story to
the American Revolution. And you have to

512
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:36.280
understand that this is happening on the
after a significant string of losses from Brandywine

513
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:40.480
to Saratoga to others, where Franklin
is over there to try to get French

514
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:45.239
help, thinking that the philosophy of
the enemy of my enemy is my friend

515
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:50.960
kind of thing would work out with
France. So with the because you have

516
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:54.039
to understand the French position at that
time, they thought what was happening in

517
00:38:54.079 --> 00:39:00.239
America was very funny to the British, but also very dangerous that if their

518
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:05.840
people went, hey, you know, that worked pretty well, how it

519
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:10.760
could impact the French monarchy. So
they were they were very tepid there,

520
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:16.760
and so Franklin and his grandson literally
show up. They show up with not

521
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:22.320
any official capacity and just kind of
make friends with muckety MUCKs. And it's

522
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:28.480
easy to do because I mentioned Benjamin
Franklin at that time not only had a

523
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:34.639
book that had that had gone viral
in those terms, but all and it

524
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.079
was a It was a book that
was comedic, that was informative, but

525
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:45.360
also talked of revolutionary ideas. So
France was not a fan. French people

526
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.960
were, as you would come to
realize with the French revolution that would take

527
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:54.000
place following our own, and obviously
inspired, but you know, at that

528
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:59.280
time, he's just there. And
the component that there were spies around them

529
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:04.440
and infiltrate and people we know that
were, you know, very high ups

530
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.159
who were tasked with spying for the
UK. Those are accurate. Some say

531
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.599
they're overdone here, but it's Hollywood, so it is what it is.

532
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:17.000
So I'm watching it and I think
Douglas does a fine job. People complain

533
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:22.199
about some of the accent transitioning and
why this isn't just it is what it

534
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.719
is. There's a lot that's not
on there. But so Franklin and his

535
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:30.079
grandsons show up and he's greeted as
an author and the guy who they who

536
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:32.719
they? You know, people go, oh, he invented electricity and as

537
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:42.519
we know he didn't. That was
one Thomas Edison and nobody else and that

538
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:49.760
elephant who knew too much. But
it really shows you the predicament that France

539
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:52.480
was in, because if he had
not been well known and not well liked

540
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:59.800
for those things, it would have
France probably would have thrown him out of

541
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.519
they but they had to handle him
with kick glove. So all this time

542
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.400
he's having to figure out, hey, how am I going to how am

543
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:09.679
I going to get in there?
And so this is purported to document it.

544
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:12.920
It's a mini series. It's not
done. But I did watch the

545
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:15.079
first few episodes and I was fine
with it. So inevitably, what do

546
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:19.400
they do. They get Michael Douglas
to sit down for an interview. He's

547
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:25.079
seventy nine, he's playing a seventy
year old and he you know, he's

548
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:32.480
got the grandson with him, and
the thoughts drift, thoughts drift. He

549
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:36.639
goes, I was immediately struck,
like seventy years old. In England,

550
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:39.519
the average lifespan thirty nine. Again, that's what happens when you have a

551
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:45.840
lot of ones and twos in there. I think it gave me great faith

552
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:49.679
in Joe Biden and it was a
reminder we can go on a lot longer

553
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:57.079
than we thought. Do you know
how Benjamin Franklin of that period is described,

554
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:02.679
because there's a lot of descriptions,
there's a lot of writings from many

555
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:06.960
of the individuals in France who ended
up dealing with Franklin. And I'll let

556
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:14.800
me tell you the overwhelming first thing
that they would say about Franklin, Well,

557
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.320
it's the clothes were a big thing, and they actually satuate that there

558
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:21.840
he intentionally wore, He intentionally brought
like a bunch of furs and stuff,

559
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:25.320
so he looked like DiCaprio's character in
the Revenant. But that was that was

560
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.960
for a reason. So there's comments
on that. But his sharpness, his

561
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:37.039
acuity, his his ability, he's
doing this on his own. I mean,

562
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:39.400
he has some confidants, which if
you read I don't a spoiler.

563
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:44.800
Uh, not all of them are, and that's historically accurate. But for

564
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:50.199
the most part he's having to figure
out how to overcome this thing where nobody

565
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:55.519
in real power is allowed to be
around him, where French officials have banned

566
00:42:55.639 --> 00:43:00.840
him from Paris, which is a
thing that happened, and just the ridiculousness

567
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:05.199
of what France was at that time, and he's got to figure out a

568
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:08.119
way to get him to eventually,
if you know anything, send an armada

569
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:14.440
of ships, which coincided with the
British making the decision to depart New York

570
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:22.280
following the capture of Philadelphia and sail
this. So they captured taykonder Roga,

571
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:25.760
which is a very important fort at
the time, and that had been captured

572
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:30.599
from the British previously in the upper
reaches of the Hudson River of New York,

573
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:36.360
and the general at the time for
the for the British was tasked with

574
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:40.960
continuing to go all the way up
the Hudson because they were they were they

575
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.880
were in a position where they wanted, now that we have Philadelphia and we

576
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:50.800
have Tykwonderoga, we're going to make
everything north of Philly ours and push the

577
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:57.519
rebels back. So that's but that
wasn't glorious. So you had this decision

578
00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:01.199
made where the entirety of those true
were moved back to New York City,

579
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:06.199
which was the base of operations for
the British at the time and sailed to

580
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:10.639
Charleston Harbor, and very famously there's
all of what you saw the surrounding of

581
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:16.079
Charleston, and everything was going swimmingly. But if you've ever been to Charleston,

582
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:22.239
you know that to get into Charleston
Harbor you have to run past several

583
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:28.320
outer islands, and those islands are
fortified to allow for cannon fire. Charleston

584
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:32.000
was a very protected port. It
was the most productive port. It was

585
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:37.960
the fourth largest city in the US
at the time. And the British ran

586
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:43.920
that they ran that blockade, they
ran those positions, those cannon positions ended

587
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.840
up in Charleston Harbor. Which is
good if you eventually sacked the city.

588
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:52.639
It's not great if the entirety of
the French Navy, who you do not

589
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:55.760
realize is coming your way, comes
your way at a time when you're in

590
00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:06.239
the channel. And Franklin had to
negotiate and coordinate all of this. Biden

591
00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:13.960
figured out a way to get Iran
to basically lose their fear of us and

592
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:19.719
launch all their stuff at Israel.
And you have to understand when they launched

593
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.840
it, they launched it knowing it
wouldn't get there for hours. We had

594
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:29.920
an entire news cycle waiting for this
stuff to show up, and and I

595
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:32.840
ran did that. I saw the
comment that they were like what, how

596
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:37.119
what what are their drones like Honda
Civics or something like how why is it

597
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.159
taking them eight hours to get from
Iran to Israel? It's yeah, I

598
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:43.880
call you gotta get coffee. They
had kids. You know, you ever

599
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:50.000
travel with kids and a wife?
You gonna oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

600
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.920
you know they have bladders. I
don't know if you're stuff to pee

601
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:55.000
every ten minutes? Yeah, dude, yeah, And uh, you know

602
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:58.840
how many BUCkies are on the way. I mean you got to stop at

603
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:02.039
the BUCkies. There's none, there's
zero. Yeah, it's thankfully for BUCkies

604
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:10.639
probably. Yeah, So shut up, just shut up and and life and

605
00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:15.480
pre even though that I keep saying
the thing with the electricians, they didn't

606
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:21.760
have electricity. They're talking about eels
Man talking about, which terrified people in

607
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:28.079
Europe because that wasn't a thing that
they knew about. And they get over

608
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.559
there and they just think the New
World is nothing but wolves and electrical eels

609
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:35.760
Man. You know, Bo Biden
died by eels so it's an appropriate Oh

610
00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:39.320
wow, you know what I'm sorry
about that. That's my bad. Ah.

611
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:44.199
Where in Surinam or wherever that that's
that thing was? Where the eel

612
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:45.519
thing? Well, I can't remember
where it was. Oh, everything's dumb,

613
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:49.559
all right. Anyway, raced agent
from the weather channels here. What

614
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:53.199
a weekend? Yeah, you know
dude, what it was? It was

615
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:58.960
great. And then I was one
who decided to watch the Billy Joel concert

616
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:05.599
last night. H Okay, that
didn't know well, you know, I

617
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:10.800
don't in the CBS who the concert
started late through their own ineptitude. And

618
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:15.039
then Billy Joel is doing the summation
of this concert. I'm having a great

619
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.719
day. Got the Masters had great? Yeah, everything was good before that.

620
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:23.320
And then like I'm like, this
is nostalgic in the sense that I

621
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:28.599
was actually watched Network TV and I
followed it through the Masters, through this

622
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.880
weird show that I'm not tracker or
something, and then onto it and I'm

623
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:37.000
I'm in it. I'm I'm good
to go. It has been promoted for

624
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:39.159
months. It's this one hundredth live
show in a row at Madison Square.

625
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:43.519
Guard It's going to be a thing. Jerry Seinfeld hosting, sting, special

626
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:45.599
guests, whatever, I'm gonna watch
that. It's a good thing to watch

627
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:50.000
as you're winding down. And in
the middle of Piano Man. You've heard

628
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:52.440
of this song, right, Oh
yeah, pian In the middle of Piano

629
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:58.719
Man, as Billy Joel utters you
know some of the many of the more

630
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:02.239
conic lines, including the one about
being in the mood for a melody,

631
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:07.519
it cuts the feed. There's awkward
several seconds of dead air and it goes

632
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:13.559
to the local news. Uh huh. And CBS dipped out in the middle

633
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:15.280
of Piano Man, which was set
to it was the final song of the

634
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:20.639
set, as I understand, and
just they heidied it and didn't and then

635
00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:23.679
didn't say anything. Wow, it
didn't come back. That was it.

636
00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:27.639
No, that was it. You're
writing the local news. You're now you're

637
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:30.880
in this room. So that's what
you get to learn about whatever the still

638
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:36.480
you're the talk. Huh. It's
just maddening. Man. Oh well,

639
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:39.440
all in all, the masters,
it was good so and yeah, the

640
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:44.679
weather once it went away, it
was crazy to watch that no wind yesterday,

641
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:47.280
but let's keep that trend up.
I think people are happy, so,

642
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:51.599
you know, set the apple cart. Besides the breeze, I mean

643
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:54.239
it wasn't terrible. No records,
no record today. But I'm going to

644
00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:58.840
use the word hot because we're going
to be close to ninety in the Triangle,

645
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:00.639
probably middle upper eighty try it and
west end of the mountains. But

646
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:07.039
the record for the Triad is ninety
today and for RDU Raleigh at the airport

647
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:09.519
it's ninety two. So warm,
hot, whatever you want to call it,

648
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:14.239
but not records. Plenty of sunshine, some cloud around now. We

649
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:17.360
do have this little weak disturbance coming
through early tonight and there might be an

650
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:22.159
isolated shower thunderstorm. I'm gonna emphasize
no widespread rain, so I wouldn't really

651
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.800
worried about it. Say, if
you're going to be out between sunset and

652
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:29.440
midnight somewhere around there, if the
kids are still playing ball games or whatever

653
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:30.480
it is, Yeah, you know, if you get a rain drop,

654
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:35.239
I wouldn't be shocked. There's no
severe weather expected. Overnight will be in

655
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:37.559
the low sixties. Tomorrow, we'll
have some afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Again

656
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:42.880
isolated variety so not widespread. It'll
stay warm in the mid eighties. Still

657
00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:45.039
low to mid eighties and cloudy.
Wednesday, late week looks good too,

658
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:50.639
with sunshine returning, and will stay
in the eighties normal high this time of

659
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:54.719
year. It's certainly not ninety.
I think we're somewhere around seventy or the

660
00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:59.880
low seventies this time of year.
So yeah, seventy three officially for Raleigh's

661
00:49:59.880 --> 00:50:04.320
the average high. So yeah,
well above average temperatures. Let's see severy

662
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:07.400
three, eighty three fifteen Yeah,
twelve to fifteen degrees above average, and

663
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:10.000
it'll stay above average all week,
even into the weekend where we may see

664
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.039
some showers return. Oh all right, well yeah, wait to save that

665
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:19.079
for the end. Thank you,
sir. Appreciate it. You're welcome.

666
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.400
Yeah, just all I want is
a nice clear weekend. We'll talk again

667
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:24.159
in an hour, so appreciate it. And there you go, race Agic

668
00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:29.800
from the Weather Channel. All right. So yeah, So basically, you

669
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:32.119
know, along a long way of
explaining that Michael Douglas like this is this

670
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:37.320
must be what Biden feels like,
and no, no, no, it's

671
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:40.159
probably not. Also, I would
point out that you know, Franklin wasn't

672
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.320
calling Lidds at five o'clock, which
is what happened the day of the Israel

673
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:52.639
Iran thing. Cause like much much
of the negotiation and what was going on

674
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:58.440
was being done quote at court at
the time, which was basically all of

675
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:05.199
the muckety much showing up for their
fancy fancy pants dress parties. And so

676
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:09.159
yeah, no, it's not the
same thing, Michael Douglas, not the

677
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:14.360
same thing at all, not in
any way, shape or form, as

678
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:17.480
we will come to find out as
we continue next here on the CaCO Day

679
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:23.480
Radio program. Aco Day Radio Program. And while we have regaled you with

680
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:28.440
many of the I don't want to
say necessarily always lighthearted side of it,

681
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:35.719
the it's still less serious than Billy
Joel. Cons are getting cut off and

682
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:43.199
I'm referring to the dumpster fire that
continues to be the Middle East. Let

683
00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:46.079
me say this, by the way, the position of the White House seemingly

684
00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:53.880
as stated. And by the way, this is irrespective of all of the

685
00:51:53.960 --> 00:52:00.599
opportunity hopping that we saw the administration
do over what happened with the AID workers,

686
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:05.719
the seven AID workers who are who
are fired upon, because there's a

687
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:08.559
there's a lot of moving parts there
that I think people don't understand. You

688
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:13.280
have eight this is and this is
not an indictment of all aid organizations.

689
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:19.639
You have EID organizations that are at
the very least complicit in what Hamas is

690
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:23.400
doing. And you have others that
work within the frameworks that are kind of

691
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:29.000
forced upon them, but I think
or are there for the right reasons.

692
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:37.000
And one of those frameworks is and
it's really really a tough position is you

693
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:40.639
have this is what HAMAS does.
So if you have an AID organization that

694
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:47.760
has a shipment of whatever, food, medical supplies, whatever, they will

695
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:53.760
deputize themselves to be the security force
for the shipping. But in reality,

696
00:52:53.800 --> 00:53:01.239
what they're doing is they're controlling who
gets it is this So you have you

697
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:06.840
literally have our guys or the Israelis
or others, because remember we're still we're

698
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:13.199
still doing surveillance and logistical stuff bobbing
around out there with one of our fleets,

699
00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:16.360
and and that's what we've committed,
that's what we've committed to. And

700
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:24.239
so they have to monitor this because
once you create this scenario where some Hamastu

701
00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:28.239
can just roll up and be like
I'm in charge of this shipman now,

702
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:34.360
and nobody pushes back because the shipment
still moves kind of. But it also

703
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:39.079
is a huge security issue. So
that's that's all going on. And uh

704
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:45.199
then the you know, the whole
lead up to that, the Israelis saw

705
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:50.880
an opportunity with leadership following you know, uh, Syria basically being a launching

706
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:55.639
ground for Hesbolah. Uh. They
to striking military target around that same time

707
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:00.559
and take out one of the Iranian
generals. And what you saw over the

708
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:07.000
weekend was Iran's response to it,
or purported response to it. And people

709
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.800
are like, well, you know
they did this and they fired into Damascus

710
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:15.039
and this happened, and yes,
yes they did. They make no bones

711
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:21.719
about it. So Iran launches the
suicide drones, some missiles, they launch

712
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:24.599
them literally from inside Iran, as
well as some outward positions like where the

713
00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:32.480
Hooti rebels are, and as Ross
pointed out, the distance right because their

714
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:37.719
drones don't fly that fast and they're
not that close. Let's try to watch

715
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:39.639
the Billy Joel show. Yeah,
I am on it. Some of you

716
00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:43.880
were very like, why are you
Why is this a jihad for you?

717
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:47.679
It's not. It's just the dumbest
thing I've seen in forever, in decisions

718
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:51.519
like entertainment decisions like that. Don't
get me wrong, there's a lot of

719
00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:57.239
dummer stuff out there but just baffled
by it anyway. So we got that

720
00:54:57.599 --> 00:55:01.440
little entertainment stuff. But you had
a period over the weekend where things on

721
00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:09.039
the international everything's on fire front were
pretty crazy. And the first was where

722
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:17.199
you started to see the you started
to see the headlines Iran fires on Israel

723
00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:22.559
and look, that's a pretty big
escalation. Not that people don't think that

724
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:29.039
Iran has been doing it via proxies
and even part of it with their own

725
00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:35.679
people up in Syria. But ultimately
Iran has always kind of had that just

726
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:39.760
a little bit of hands off there, even though it was clear from from

727
00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:45.960
day one that the Iran plan,
as I think most people understand it,

728
00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:50.960
is the Iran thought, you get
all of these proxies doing all of this

729
00:55:51.079 --> 00:55:53.679
stuff, Hamas is going to come
in for their big thing. You see

730
00:55:53.679 --> 00:56:01.480
it in the writings and literally what
we've learned from Hama's individuals and uh who

731
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:06.840
these to the right of them,
Hesbaalad to the north and several others,

732
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:10.679
and it all culminates with this big
Hamas attack, going back to what we

733
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:21.400
saw and that under I know and
Iran's thinking that would be the lynchpin for

734
00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:25.880
unleashing the flood of all of these
other countries who also are not fans of

735
00:56:27.039 --> 00:56:32.320
Israel to get in there and mix
it up, and Iran would obviously join

736
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:37.039
them, and it would be this
this unification of a non unit. Remember

737
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:38.960
i Ran Iraq. They don't like
each other, nobody likes each other,

738
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:45.000
but they all like the fact that
they all hate Israel. And so with

739
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.559
that in mind, they thought that
that that would be enough things for everyone

740
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.000
to go, yeah, let's get
them, and it would be that coalition

741
00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:58.320
that the rest of the world would
have to decide whether they wanted to tangle

742
00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:01.440
with them. And it it got
there a little, but it didn't get

743
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:07.760
to where they wanted. So over
the weekend they sent all sorts of munitions

744
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:15.039
Israel's way. Yeah. In fact, according to both this is US and

745
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:20.519
IDF officials, they say I Ran
individually launched more than two hundred drones,

746
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:24.360
cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles from
inside their own territory, the first time

747
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:30.760
they've ever launched a direct attack against
Israel from inside their own borders. And

748
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:37.719
so yeah, but they take a
while, and so like, you weren't

749
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.360
going to hide that, And I
don't just mean from people with radar,

750
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:45.199
Like there's videos of some guy he's
like, you know, he's walking around

751
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:49.440
with goats and a raq and over
him. Looks like a sci fi movie

752
00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:54.800
because it's just all the things going
and it took hours and hours and hours

753
00:57:54.840 --> 00:57:59.760
depending on positions. You could go
the whole day knowing that these were coming

754
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:05.960
and you know, do whatever you
needed to do. And still people think,

755
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.559
well, what's the effectiveness of that? And in reality it wasn't too

756
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:14.119
effective. But the act is a
big deal, and the response from Iran

757
00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:17.920
was one because at the end they
they shot and we aided. I don't

758
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:22.480
know to extent that we aided.
They shot down almost everything the other they

759
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:27.679
had one one thing that got through
and did minor damage on a base and

760
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:32.079
I think the only person who was
even injured was a little girl and it

761
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:39.400
was minor. So yeah, yeah, I'd say they're pretty effective. And

762
00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:44.159
Iran kind of knew that that wasn't
But I feel like this is also kind

763
00:58:44.159 --> 00:58:46.119
of what they saw with Hamas,
where they I think they thought people join

764
00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:52.679
in, but they said it was
in retaliation because one of their generals was

765
00:58:52.760 --> 00:59:00.440
in that military office in Damascus when
Israel leveled it last week, which argue

766
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:06.000
is the one attack that people have
the least concern about because everything's been about

767
00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:09.000
oh civilians, blah blah blah.
They literally it was a high level meeting

768
00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:16.960
of military individuals in a governmental military
esh setting right there, you know,

769
00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:22.159
So that's like, that's what you
want if you're gonna do that to avoid

770
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:28.280
civilian casualties. Sadly, if you
work it within an embassy and a missile

771
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:30.320
hits it and you're the guy who
sweeps the floors, it's just not as

772
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:34.480
impactful as some dude on the street. It's just that, you know,

773
00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:39.039
it's our weird rules of war,
but it's understandable and it's what proportional escalation

774
00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:45.280
is about. So they do all
this stuff, and then I got to

775
00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:49.199
sit here and listen to people,
whether it's Michael Douglas or others sitting there

776
00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:54.159
and trying to make it sound like
this is we killed a general of theirs,

777
00:59:54.239 --> 01:00:00.000
and we didn't just kill a popular
general. We killed arguably the leadership's

778
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:06.559
most popular general in Solomoney, who
because he was willing to carry out the

779
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:12.599
atrocities, you know, outside of
the normal protocols, Like this is a

780
01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:16.239
bad dude, but he was a
dude that if when you're the thug leadership

781
01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:21.039
and I ran, look at that, I used thug. I know.

782
01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:24.159
I was told that people only use
thug in a very specific racist setting.

783
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:29.000
But no, when you do thuggish
things, you get thugged. And Solomoney

784
01:00:29.079 --> 01:00:36.000
was a thug and we didn't just
kill him. Okay, we didn't just

785
01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:42.480
kill him. The President of the
United States then turned all of your TV

786
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:47.119
off, went to a podium,
the same podium in the same position that

787
01:00:47.320 --> 01:00:52.920
was announcing the death of Bin Laden. He went with the same backdrop and

788
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:55.880
everything, only it was President Trump. He went up there and within the

789
01:00:55.920 --> 01:01:05.000
first fifteen seconds he started mocking the
general for quote dying like a dog.

790
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:10.039
And by the way, I'm here
for it. I thought that was that

791
01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:17.360
was crazy man. And and then
he talked for like ever he talked for

792
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:22.079
I want to say, it was
like a ninety minute press conference just talking

793
01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:28.599
about what a piece of garbage coward
this dude was crying, died like a

794
01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:31.440
dog, some of the other stuff
he said. And you know what is

795
01:01:31.719 --> 01:01:36.480
or you know what I ran didn't
do it didn't launch a single drone.

796
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:43.039
Okay, I didn't do anything.
You know why because whether it's fear or

797
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.360
respect and I don't care which they
looked at Donald Trump as president went you

798
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:54.400
know what, not right now?
No, because this he'll he'll probably come,

799
01:01:54.519 --> 01:01:58.800
He'll probably be riding a missile in
like how'd he do to you or

800
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:02.800
whatever himself or slim pickens excuse me? Yeah, Like they didn't want to

801
01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:07.920
deal with that. And this was
a constant component of the Trump presidency of

802
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:09.599
people. A reporter would do a
story and they'd be like, well,

803
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:14.480
and the reason that they didn't is
because they think he's crazy. And my

804
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:20.599
question would be, so if you
don't look if I'm the crazy neighbor on

805
01:02:20.679 --> 01:02:25.280
the block, which by the way, I think I am. But but

806
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.360
if like you know, nobody,
if I'm the guy from the sand lot,

807
01:02:30.519 --> 01:02:34.199
remember the house that the kids didn't
want to go to because the old

808
01:02:34.239 --> 01:02:37.639
man lived there. It's a constant
thing within kids' stories. The fact remains,

809
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:42.800
whether it's correct or not correct,
that guy doesn't get his yard messed

810
01:02:42.840 --> 01:02:45.320
with very much, do you know
what I mean? I mean, obviously

811
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:47.639
there was a breakdown of it in
the movie. They had the reasons,

812
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:53.679
But so what if I ran doesn't
want to lob missiles at stuff, especially

813
01:02:53.719 --> 01:02:58.920
our stuff or stuff of our friends, because they think the other guy is

814
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:05.199
a lunatic. I don't care.
I just care that they had no qualms

815
01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:08.239
man. And immediately the White House
made their position clear because the White House,

816
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:12.679
following what happened with the AID workers, had come out and just basically

817
01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:17.239
they had been looking for an opportunity
to appease that section of their voting base

818
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:29.400
who want Israel to sit there and
take it. So that's a signal,

819
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:35.079
man, that's a signal right there. And especially with all of this you

820
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:42.000
know, this weird Ukraine NATO stuff
going on. I understand Israel's already you

821
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:45.760
know, from a UN perspective in
there, but they're the whipping boy of

822
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:52.320
the UN, and ultimately you only
have to stare down a few allies and

823
01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:54.039
you think he can do what you
want. And I ran did because one

824
01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:58.480
of the allies they looked at was
Joe Biden and they read him as not

825
01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:08.079
caring and I don't know that that
was inaccurate. And again, they didn't

826
01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:12.440
fire on a US position per se, but they they're testing, they were

827
01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:15.960
testing the edges here and then immediately
all of these nitwoods start running out and

828
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:19.760
saying that you know Israel and better
watch out and uh you know, and

829
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:26.079
not go overboard with this. And
to that I would ask what is overboard?

830
01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:31.159
They fired hundreds of things to make
people explode into your tea. Just

831
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:36.159
because they're bad at it doesn't mean
they didn't do it. And the argument

832
01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:40.079
is, like I saw somebody go, would you get a flamethrower for a

833
01:04:40.119 --> 01:04:45.440
mosquito? You know talking about one? Iran isn't a mosquito. And they're

834
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:53.960
in they're enrichment programs which could which
continue even through all of the weird cloak

835
01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:59.000
and dagger stuff and literally sticky bombs
and and computer code and everything that's been

836
01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:02.039
a part of it. They're more
than that. But two, if you

837
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:10.960
handed me a flamethrower there was a
mosquito around, as a dude, I

838
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:14.840
would use a flamethrower on a misquit
ross. If I handed you a flamethrower

839
01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:18.599
because I saw that there was a
bug around, you wouldn't You're you're innate,

840
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:23.360
I'm a dude take over and you
would use the flamethrower on the bug

841
01:05:23.400 --> 01:05:26.239
because the opportunities there, I mean, it would be criminal not to.

842
01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:31.719
Yes, you should be put in
Guantanamo if you don't, and we're watching

843
01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:35.599
to see whether you know how to
work that thing. Other dudes are because

844
01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:39.679
they love that. Ah. Now, let me show you you women think

845
01:05:39.719 --> 01:05:43.719
that men only like the men explaining
to women, you know nothing. Get

846
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.760
some guys at arrange and a guy
who clearly doesn't understand the way that the

847
01:05:46.920 --> 01:05:53.639
particular firearm works. Have you not
seen the recent US Navy post? Well,

848
01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:58.519
right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was just literally you read

849
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:04.239
my bike man, Okay, right, the Marines did a mock. The

850
01:06:04.280 --> 01:06:13.239
Marines, who are a department of
the Navy, mocked the Navy. Do

851
01:06:13.280 --> 01:06:16.880
you know why? Because what's the
Navy gonna do about it? What are

852
01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:19.719
you gonna do? You're gonna go
down to where all the Marines are chilling

853
01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:25.960
on board waiting to go and uh, you know, do some weird crazy

854
01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:30.119
whatever thing down there. You're not
gonna go bug those guys. They saw

855
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:34.159
your CEO up on the up on
the deck holding a skull a rifle with

856
01:06:34.199 --> 01:06:42.960
a scoute mounted backwards with the optics
closed with a chicken or chicken wing stance

857
01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:45.519
going on, which is fine,
some people shoot like that. Whatever,

858
01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:49.199
and what you know what we're gonna
do a meme about these guys who drive

859
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:54.119
us everywhere we want to go.
So yeah, yeah, there's there's a

860
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:58.559
lot of that that goes on.
Absolutely. So to sit there and go

861
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:01.320
it's a mosquito with a flame throw
is to not understand what any dude handed

862
01:07:01.320 --> 01:07:10.159
a flamethrower in a mosquitoy situation would
do if instructed to do so. But

863
01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.400
I also think the position of the
White House in the US, at least

864
01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:19.920
in this one instance, that will
help you shoot him down or track them

865
01:07:20.039 --> 01:07:23.800
or whatever aid was rendered, But
we're not going to help you go forward

866
01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:28.320
and attack. I'm fine with that's
that's I think that's the proper position.

867
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:31.760
But you know, now, watching
all these people go, well, it's

868
01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:36.000
like Iran can do anything. That's
not true, and it's also not true.

869
01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:41.679
Historically Iran has done many a thing, and some of those targets have

870
01:07:41.800 --> 01:07:49.960
been I don't know us targets,
whether it's barracks right yeah, whether it

871
01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:55.039
is some of our ships, whether
it is that time we set out to

872
01:07:55.199 --> 01:07:59.800
literally shoot down what was or not
even shoot down. We wanted to render

873
01:07:59.880 --> 01:08:05.199
inoperable a significant representation of the Iranian
Air force, and so we were gonna

874
01:08:05.199 --> 01:08:10.840
go after the air Force and a
part of their navy operation. I think

875
01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:15.760
we're going after a frigate, is
what it was. They had identified a

876
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:20.840
frigate over some mining operations, and
they were gonna basically make it inoperable.

877
01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:25.359
They weren't even gonna murder everybody.
They were just gonna they wanted to render

878
01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:30.680
the ship inoperable. And at every
turn, our guys are out there and

879
01:08:31.359 --> 01:08:34.399
they're just like, hey, we're
just here to shoot your rudder. And

880
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:40.520
then some jackass with a fifty cow
is thinking he can shoot an E ten

881
01:08:40.680 --> 01:08:45.760
down and the guy's like, well, look, you've now met the threshold

882
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:49.680
for me making your life, making
you missed. And then it was on,

883
01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:55.640
and we ended up literally decimating half
of their navy and a good portion

884
01:08:55.720 --> 01:09:01.399
of their their ability to then parlay
air at tacks based on what the Navy

885
01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:08.039
provided, and it wasn't significant to
start. They like forced like Washington had

886
01:09:08.039 --> 01:09:12.840
to stop at and and like command
our guys to stop blowing things up over

887
01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:18.119
their own current standards of whether they're
able to open fire. Right. They

888
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:21.560
had set these very tight window because
they thought no one and Iran would be

889
01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:27.199
stupid enough standing on a frigate with
a fifty cow to start firing on.

890
01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:31.960
You know, US air superiority,
and so the standards were like, you're

891
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:35.760
fine unless they fire at you,
and then after you tell them not to

892
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:40.239
fire at you and they do it
again, then you can open fire.

893
01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:44.840
And these guys were ticking those boxes
in the first few minutes and like they

894
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:48.960
had no choice. So don't give
you this Iran crap. And obviously you

895
01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:55.119
don't understand, you know, what's
how dudes and flamethrowers work. So the

896
01:09:55.159 --> 01:10:00.239
whole thing was very frustrating anyway,
eight eight, eight nine three four seven

897
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:04.439
eighty seven four. Yes, it's
just stupidity around every turn. I did

898
01:10:04.479 --> 01:10:08.680
see that there were a lot of
people, maybe you know, hold dual

899
01:10:08.720 --> 01:10:15.239
citizenship with the US. I saw
because I was now in the world of

900
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:18.640
local news and news following the Billy
Joel cut off, I did see a

901
01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:23.159
lot of folks basically were able to
get on commercial airlines because you had this

902
01:10:23.159 --> 01:10:28.039
this big window and fly to Florida
at least that's where I saw the news

903
01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:32.039
news story out of So yeah,
yeah, strange stuff, But all of

904
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:39.279
these comparisons are for not when you
realize Donald Trump did everything, but you

905
01:10:39.279 --> 01:10:43.119
know, bring the body of their
fallen guy. Unfortunately, it would have

906
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:49.680
been tough because kind of got ripped
apart. But they did everything, but

907
01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:57.600
did everything but have him unzip his
fly and urinate on him. From a

908
01:10:57.720 --> 01:11:04.439
disrespect standpoint in that presser and I
ran didn't do a damn thing. And

909
01:11:04.479 --> 01:11:09.039
whether it was because they thought Trump
was crazy, I don't, I whatever,

910
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:14.680
I don't care, but they they
made a decision, yes or over

911
01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:16.880
the weekend where they said, I
don't think Biden's going to do anything,

912
01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:20.720
and that was a lot of it, I think, based over the reaction

913
01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:25.159
that was coming off of what happened
with the aid workers and a shift in

914
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:30.520
position. So where it goes now
I don't know. Could be armageddon by

915
01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:33.359
lunch, but for now we'll take
a break. We got a again,

916
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:38.760
a gender reveal thing I normally don't. I don't like these, but I

917
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:43.159
got to give props where props is
due and much more coming your way.

918
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:47.000
Hang on, I will tell you
one of the things that one of the

919
01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:50.239
things, and then people are people
are upset in the sense that you know

920
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:55.319
they did. Hold on, what
is this? You can't say Iran didn't

921
01:11:55.319 --> 01:12:00.720
retaliate. They fired missiles at US
bases in Iraq. Yeah, they told

922
01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:05.720
us, and they were also missiles. They were there were missiles that we

923
01:12:05.800 --> 01:12:11.920
knew were coming and were expected retaliation, but they didn't fire on is the

924
01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:18.319
actual United States? Right? And
yes, so because some people feel that,

925
01:12:18.520 --> 01:12:27.720
but you they did wound people and
that there was expectation, but there

926
01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:31.439
was also we didn't do a very
good job of dealing with it, just

927
01:12:31.479 --> 01:12:34.399
like we had that. Remember we
had that drone that got through the other

928
01:12:34.479 --> 01:12:42.119
day because it was close behind some
other I don't know if it was some

929
01:12:42.159 --> 01:12:45.960
sort of returning other aircraft or one
of our own drones. I can't remember

930
01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:49.760
off the top of my head.
But yeah, but with with the ferocity

931
01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:55.279
of what they launched into Israel,
they seemingly have a very different opinion about

932
01:12:55.319 --> 01:12:59.319
what the US will be willing to
do here. So but that's a fair

933
01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:01.479
point one to bring that. I
bring that up since a couple of people

934
01:13:01.520 --> 01:13:05.479
emailed me. Okay, so let
me flip over to this because I find

935
01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:11.760
this fascinating, and then we'll get
into the audio. I promised. Why

936
01:13:11.960 --> 01:13:16.960
is it that so many people who
are heads of diversity and inclusion and equity

937
01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:23.600
for companies or universe? How is
it that they so many times find themselves

938
01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:29.760
literally thrust into what's that? What's
that show? On ABC? What would

939
01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:31.560
you do? Have you ever seen
that? I don't like that show,

940
01:13:31.640 --> 01:13:36.199
by the way, I think I
think it's pure emotional manipulation. But if

941
01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:41.800
you've never seen the show, is
it? Jonathan Kieras, I can't remember

942
01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:45.159
the report. I'll pronounce reporter's name, but basically, and I got a

943
01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:46.760
beef with him. But the show
is like, they'll be in a coffee

944
01:13:46.760 --> 01:13:49.039
shop or no, it was an
ice cream show. This is the one

945
01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:53.680
that blew my mind. They're in
a coffee shop or an ice cream shop,

946
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:56.760
and this dude comes up and he
wants to order some ice cream,

947
01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:00.760
and they got a young girl working
the cash here or whatever, and she's

948
01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:03.279
like, which one do you want? And by the way, the joke

949
01:14:03.399 --> 01:14:10.079
or that the joke, But the
situation is he's illiterate. He's a grown

950
01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:15.079
man who is illiterate, and he
isn't presenting a lot of you know,

951
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:19.520
he's not strumming a banjo or any
of that stuff. But the scenario is

952
01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:27.079
the girl who's an actress will then
be really really mean to him and start

953
01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:30.960
making fun of a how can you
not read you're an adult? Bah?

954
01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:32.920
You know, because that would be
a normal thing that would happen in that

955
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:39.159
retail environment. And then another then
they want to see if other customers will

956
01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:43.920
step in to take this dude's side
or stand silent. Right, that's this

957
01:14:44.079 --> 01:14:50.000
whole thing, one hundred different scenarios, generally over the top, and these

958
01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:55.880
are the situations that heads of DEI
find themselves dealing with every day in America.

959
01:14:57.239 --> 01:15:00.479
Then they take to Twitter, case
in point, this dude and I'm

960
01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:03.199
sending this to Ross right now because
he hasn't seen it, because I want

961
01:15:03.279 --> 01:15:06.920
him to weigh in on it.
This dude is the head of Diversity,

962
01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:12.319
Equity and Inclusion for MI T which, by the way, that's a big,

963
01:15:12.439 --> 01:15:15.760
big get. His name is Carl
Reid, and he tweets the following

964
01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:23.640
Just boarded an early morning flight wearing
my at MIT gear. A seat mate

965
01:15:23.680 --> 01:15:28.960
looked at me and asked, basketball, I said, no engineering, which,

966
01:15:28.960 --> 01:15:30.479
by the way, is I mean
technically, MIT has a lot of

967
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:33.800
engineering, but you're the head of
DEI. You're not an engineering person.

968
01:15:35.560 --> 01:15:40.760
And then he takes a picture of
himself and says, what prompted what about

969
01:15:40.760 --> 01:15:45.840
me? Prompted him to think I
was playing or coaching basketball? And the

970
01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:49.319
you know, the scenario is he's
black, so obviously he's sitting next to

971
01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:56.079
racisty dude here who just made the
assumption that he might be a basketball coach.

972
01:15:56.239 --> 01:15:59.039
So I just sent the tweet and
Ross can tweet this out too,

973
01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:02.840
a screenshot of it. Russ,
do you think that he sat next to

974
01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:06.920
you know, the grand something or
other of the clan and that's you know,

975
01:16:08.039 --> 01:16:13.000
and that happened. Or do you
think that maybe, just maybe he

976
01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:17.720
sat next to a dude who looked
at him and made an assumption, but

977
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:23.880
not for the reason that he's he's
putting out there. What is your you?

978
01:16:23.880 --> 01:16:26.000
No, it's the first time seeing
Now. If it was me,

979
01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:30.279
myrie, my question would have been, did you work with Professor Lambeau and

980
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:33.439
and win the Fields Medal? That'd
be my personal question because I've seen Goodwill

981
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:38.199
hunting about forty thousand times. Yes, but no, he's wearing like a

982
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:45.239
windbreaker, looks like he's wearing an
athletic jacket. Dudes wearing an athletic jacket.

983
01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:47.479
He's clearly clearly he looks too old
to be a player, right,

984
01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:51.199
we agree completely? Yes, Yeah, he looks like he looks like a

985
01:16:51.239 --> 01:16:57.279
guy. And by the way,
he probably presents as a dude who absolutely,

986
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:00.279
in some way, shape or form, does in fact is associated with

987
01:17:00.399 --> 01:17:09.399
MI T and some sort of faculty
standpoint right, And so because he presents

988
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:12.600
like that, this is what.
This is what people don't understand. I

989
01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:15.880
don't care if you're white, black, brown, or whatever. Chances are,

990
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:20.079
within a few first few minutes,
if you told me you worked for

991
01:17:20.239 --> 01:17:24.520
MI T or not, I can
determine whether I think you're telling me the

992
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:31.520
truth. Especially this guy is this
guy is a It's just like some of

993
01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:36.119
the really bad stolen valor stuff out
there. Like I don't I'm not even

994
01:17:36.119 --> 01:17:41.800
have the military background, So I'm
not noticing out of position, you know,

995
01:17:43.039 --> 01:17:47.319
adornments of one's uniform. I'm just
noticing how people carry themselves. And

996
01:17:47.399 --> 01:17:54.720
so dudes looking at him, I
can't is he in an upgrade? He's

997
01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:59.319
in a Delta It says comfort plus
on the headrest. I can't tell if

998
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:02.920
he's just in that middle ground on
the I don't fly delta very much,

999
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:08.039
but whatever, the dude's wearing an
athletic jacket. He's wearing a coaches jacket

1000
01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:11.560
is some people would refer to it
a windbreaker is rosters could but you know

1001
01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:15.720
what I'm talking about, And he's
doing so at the very because I saw

1002
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:19.239
people go well good, you know, oh yeah, because mit a big

1003
01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:23.720
basketball powerhouse. I don't know if
you know what happened here just a few

1004
01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:30.439
weeks ago where uh basketball at the
collegiate level had uh it was kind of

1005
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:38.119
a big deal and people were traveling
everywhere. But it's a perfectly logical assumption.

1006
01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:42.680
That's just somebody who's having cut And
frankly, why are you talking to

1007
01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:44.960
me just because I'm sitting next to
you. I don't necessarily want to tie.

1008
01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:50.079
And it's not just him, it's
really anybody. This is what headphones

1009
01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:54.840
are for. Have you heard of
these? They noise. You don't even

1010
01:18:54.880 --> 01:18:57.359
have to by the way, fun
trick, you don't have to turn them

1011
01:18:57.359 --> 01:19:02.159
on. You don't have to have
a damn thing going through them. But

1012
01:19:02.199 --> 01:19:06.840
if I get on a plane and
somehow my my earbuds are not in,

1013
01:19:08.359 --> 01:19:11.840
they're soon to be in. And
generally, if I'm traveling, I have

1014
01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:17.920
my my older studio headphones with me, cause if I have my laptop the

1015
01:19:18.039 --> 01:19:24.439
air. It's a pain sinking my
EarPods with my company laptop. So it's

1016
01:19:24.479 --> 01:19:31.600
just easier to plug in you know, standard old school plugins. That's it.

1017
01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:34.319
That's there. You go. This
will never happen to you again,

1018
01:19:34.359 --> 01:19:39.279
sir. Just put headphones on.
Oh like people already emailing put headphones on.

1019
01:19:39.399 --> 01:19:45.000
Yes. Now, if you're a
smoke show, as on one of

1020
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:47.399
my recent flights, I won't talk
to you. If you want to talk

1021
01:19:47.439 --> 01:19:54.680
to me, that's fine, rare
exception. And even then, depending on

1022
01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:59.479
the mood I'm in, probably not
so whatever, all right, so uh,

1023
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:03.520
mitigated racism or and will tweet it
out. Or a guy who literally

1024
01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:11.239
he looks like a basketball coach.
He looks like a fit dude who's wearing

1025
01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:15.800
an athletic who's wearing an athletic jacket. And I think that that is a

1026
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:19.840
logical question. And I think that
anyone who would be wearing literal sports gear.

1027
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:25.239
And I don't know that the setup
to it. If he just out

1028
01:20:25.279 --> 01:20:27.760
of the out of the blue,
the guy just turned him and goes basketball,

1029
01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:31.199
or if they had had some conversation
about m I T and he went,

1030
01:20:31.239 --> 01:20:36.359
so he went the basketball program.
I don't know, but I know

1031
01:20:36.399 --> 01:20:41.520
he thought he found himself a hot
one, just based on the little smirk

1032
01:20:41.560 --> 01:20:44.159
he's got in the photo. You
can check it out at Casey on the

1033
01:20:44.239 --> 01:20:46.760
radio, but first we check out
the weather with Ray Stagic. He's just

1034
01:20:46.880 --> 01:20:51.680
sits therey all more, just stairs
at a Doppler does nothing else. Doppler

1035
01:20:51.880 --> 01:20:59.199
sate the lonely. Yeah, it's
a lonely world in here. Must feel

1036
01:20:59.239 --> 01:21:04.399
sorry for me. The symphony cars
already take a lot of time off coming

1037
01:21:04.439 --> 01:21:10.359
from me. That's a claim.
Well, I've been doing it long enough,

1038
01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:13.960
right, It'll be what twenty eight
years in at the end of May,

1039
01:21:14.039 --> 01:21:15.840
so yeah, I been edited that
long. Probably we've got to do

1040
01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:19.039
about another twenty eight in order to
get out of here alive. Right.

1041
01:21:19.720 --> 01:21:24.359
The radio math is math, yeah, exactly. The math all works out.

1042
01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:27.479
But yeah, and the numbers today, mid upper eighties, very warm.

1043
01:21:27.640 --> 01:21:30.640
Probably won't see records for the Triad, it's ninety. For the Triangle,

1044
01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:34.439
it's ninety two. We may hit
ninety in some spots. Raleigh off

1045
01:21:34.439 --> 01:21:36.800
to our Goldsboro fit and filling to
the west of the Tria. It a

1046
01:21:36.800 --> 01:21:40.960
little cooler in the mountains, cooler
yet, we'll get a little cloud right

1047
01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:44.119
now near Rocky Mountain northeast to that, but other than that, no rain

1048
01:21:44.159 --> 01:21:46.760
and just a hit or miss shower
thunder shower tomorrow that may keep us down

1049
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:49.199
a little bit with the cloud sun
mixed to the low to mid eighties,

1050
01:21:49.680 --> 01:21:53.119
and I think Wednesday will be cloudy, low eighties and then back to the

1051
01:21:53.119 --> 01:21:56.640
mid upper eighties on Thursday. That's
a sunny day. Friday is a sunny

1052
01:21:56.680 --> 01:22:00.800
day. The weekend there might be
a little unsettled way what. I don't

1053
01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:04.199
see those as any big organized system
that's going to bring all day rain over

1054
01:22:04.199 --> 01:22:08.760
the next five to seven days.
But we will see our temperatures finally come

1055
01:22:08.840 --> 01:22:11.640
down maybe by the end of the
weekend to more like normal, which is

1056
01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:14.720
the low seventies. But until that, dry the warmth, and I'll go

1057
01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:16.359
with mainly dry weather. Not going
to say we're not going to get any

1058
01:22:16.399 --> 01:22:20.520
this week, but Tuesday, Tuesday
night possibly and then again maybe for the

1059
01:22:20.600 --> 01:22:25.079
upcoming weekend. Okay, all right, very good, thank you sir,

1060
01:22:25.159 --> 01:22:30.319
and we'll chat tomorrow and Jeff Bellinger
coming up. Oh and that gender reveal.

1061
01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:32.399
We got to do this because it's
kind of amazing. We'll do it

1062
01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:36.680
next Hang on Bloomberg Update Now with
Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening?

1063
01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:42.359
Good morning, Casey. A story
of the American consumer is still one of

1064
01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:47.359
resilience. The Commerce Department reporting this
morning the retail sales rose seven tenths percent

1065
01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:53.079
last month. Sales minus autos we're
up one point one percent. Both of

1066
01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:58.520
those readings topped economists forecasts, and
New York Fed President John Williams told Bloomberg

1067
01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:01.720
News this morning he expects the economy
to continue to grow at a solid pace

1068
01:23:02.039 --> 01:23:06.159
now. Stocks ended last week with
a sell off. Major averages had losses

1069
01:23:06.199 --> 01:23:10.680
on Friday of between one and a
quarter and one and two thirds percent.

1070
01:23:11.079 --> 01:23:15.319
The Dow was down four hundred seventy
six points. That capped the worst week

1071
01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:17.960
for the blue chips in over a
year. But the futures look good this

1072
01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:21.960
morning. Higher right across the board, Dow futures are up two hundred eighty

1073
01:23:23.000 --> 01:23:27.239
eight points at the moment. The
Food and Drug Administration has been under pressure

1074
01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:30.960
to move quickly and get new drugs
to patients who need them as soon as

1075
01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:35.600
possible, but data compiled by Bloomberg
suggests the agency's haste has led to waste.

1076
01:23:35.960 --> 01:23:41.039
Since twenty fourteen, more than three
and a half billion dollars has been

1077
01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:45.680
spent around the world on medications that
turned out to be ineffective or had most

1078
01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:49.239
of their uses withdrawn. Here in
the US, shipments of Apple iPhones took

1079
01:23:49.239 --> 01:23:55.239
a hit in the first quarter.
Preiminary figures from IDC indicate just over fifty

1080
01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:59.960
million iPhones were shipped from January to
March, and that was down nearly ten

1081
01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:03.479
percent from the prior first quarter.
Price of oil has eased a bit today,

1082
01:24:03.520 --> 01:24:08.520
back below eighty five dollars of barrel. Traders are made betting the attack

1083
01:24:08.600 --> 01:24:13.159
on Israel will not turn into a
wider Mid East war. You may have

1084
01:24:13.239 --> 01:24:18.039
thought that every brand that could possibly
possibly have a tie in to Barbie already

1085
01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:21.840
had one by now, but you'd
be wrong. Kraft Hindes has parkeered with

1086
01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:29.119
Mattel. It's introducing classic BARBIEQ sauce, the Hot Pink concoction, currently available

1087
01:24:29.399 --> 01:24:32.720
only in the UK and Spain,
and it is tax day. Case Krispy

1088
01:24:32.800 --> 01:24:36.880
Kreme is offering a two for one
deal. Buy one dozen donuts and receive

1089
01:24:36.960 --> 01:24:43.159
a dozen original glazed donuts and only
pay the sales tax on that second dozen.

1090
01:24:43.479 --> 01:24:46.319
Casey can you do me a favorite? Jeff, I'm so busy today

1091
01:24:46.359 --> 01:24:49.159
I got stuff I'm not gonna be
able to get there. Can you how

1092
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:55.159
far is CBS's facility from where you
are? How far is it probably a

1093
01:24:55.199 --> 01:24:58.399
mile or so? Oh? Can
you head down there and ask? What

1094
01:24:58.439 --> 01:25:00.560
the hell did you see it?
With a Billy Joel concert. I'm so

1095
01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:05.920
upset I didn't see that. Oh
oh okay, all right, so yesterday,

1096
01:25:05.960 --> 01:25:08.960
Look, yesterday was a good day, Jeff. You know, the

1097
01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:12.640
Masters, And then they had a
big Billy Joel Live at Madison hundredth live

1098
01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:16.119
show and in the middle of Piano
Man the final show because the things started

1099
01:25:16.199 --> 01:25:21.560
late. Through their own incompetence,
they heidied it. Remember the Heidi incident,

1100
01:25:21.640 --> 01:25:25.760
famous Heidi incident right during the Super
Bowl? Was it or some some

1101
01:25:25.880 --> 01:25:29.960
major playoff game with the Jets?
Yes, yes, ok, yeah,

1102
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:32.520
So they made the decision the middle
of Piano Man to dip out to local

1103
01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:36.800
news at a lot of yeah oh
o. This thing that hype for months.

1104
01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:40.039
So if you get us some answers, that'd be great. But from

1105
01:25:40.079 --> 01:25:45.279
a business perspective, that seems like
bad business. But that's just the radio

1106
01:25:45.319 --> 01:25:48.800
in me anyway, all right,
so uh, you're you're our ms are

1107
01:25:48.920 --> 01:25:53.439
okay, Jeff, Okay, I
appreciate it, all right, have a

1108
01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:56.720
good Monday. Look at that Jeff
Bellinger off to get answers. Ross and

1109
01:25:56.720 --> 01:26:00.000
I would do it ourselves. Very
busy, very very busy. Today I

1110
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:05.640
think I don't know all right.
So, gender reveal parties, literally we've

1111
01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:11.680
you know, when we talk about
them, it's usually after somebody's either taken

1112
01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:17.319
a blue Roman candle to the testicles
that one was funny, or started one

1113
01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:24.279
of the most destructive fires in recent
California history, not as funny, but

1114
01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:30.359
also, how the hell this one's
a little different. We're usually down on

1115
01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:33.720
them. I was kind of digging
on this. A gender reveal party,

1116
01:26:34.159 --> 01:26:42.439
the couple sitting front and center surrounding
a ring where a rather interesting thing is

1117
01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:45.960
happening. I hosted a gender reveal
wrestling match for my sister. Whatever color

1118
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:48.760
wins is the gender of the baby. Now, I got to tell you

1119
01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:56.840
something. What's amazing here is that
they have all the gear. They got

1120
01:26:56.880 --> 01:27:01.439
the ring. One of the wrestlers
is a little person. I'm not sure

1121
01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:05.079
if it's dwarf or or what,
but but you know, you have the

1122
01:27:06.359 --> 01:27:12.199
you have the David and Goliath set
up. You have the over you know,

1123
01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:18.760
the over cell that obviously is you
know, wrestling like they're doing everything.

1124
01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:24.920
They got chairs and tables and it's
a well. I love the visual

1125
01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:30.439
because the dude portraying the you know, the the girl is big, right.

1126
01:27:30.520 --> 01:27:32.039
It looks like he smells like beef
and cheese, right, big hairy

1127
01:27:32.119 --> 01:27:33.760
guy. And like the other one, like you said, is like a

1128
01:27:33.760 --> 01:27:36.359
little person wearing like a kerr angle
like single it you know what I mean?

1129
01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:40.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah. So little guy in blue

1130
01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:44.319
uh ogre in in pink? All
right, so let's do this. I

1131
01:27:44.319 --> 01:27:46.840
hosted a gender reveal wrestling match for
my sister. Whatever color wins is.

1132
01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:58.600
The gender of the Baby God is
really well done. And there's so many

1133
01:27:58.640 --> 01:28:00.960
twists and turns as you go through. Who's out? Is he gonna make

1134
01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:04.319
it? And then it's you know, he's down for the count and one

1135
01:28:04.680 --> 01:28:09.520
two, and then up he comes
with a slap to the face and where

1136
01:28:09.520 --> 01:28:23.399
do you get that chair from?
Its great? I'm sorry I hit the

1137
01:28:23.439 --> 01:28:35.079
wrong one laughing and the taker bells
in there? How great? Was that?

1138
01:28:36.600 --> 01:28:40.920
Ross? You hate these things too? You down with this though?

1139
01:28:41.079 --> 01:28:43.439
They all go this. Ye I
saw that yesterday, even before you put

1140
01:28:43.439 --> 01:28:45.039
it in prepping. As a big
fan, I almost sent it to you,

1141
01:28:45.079 --> 01:28:49.119
and I'm like, there's no way
he hasn't seen this, so so

1142
01:28:49.159 --> 01:28:51.640
we'll get it out there. Would
you like to reveal the gender of the

1143
01:28:51.640 --> 01:28:54.359
baby, by the way, I
don't think we should. I think we

1144
01:28:54.359 --> 01:28:57.840
should lead people to the website.
That's what I was just, that's why

1145
01:28:57.840 --> 01:28:58.359
I was asking
