All right, fine, Boo mondays, I guess we'll do this thing.
Good morning. It is the k c O Day radio program. Like I
said, you know, Monday, five day week. What is that even?
Yeah, but you know that's what we're gonna do. And Lord knows,
with all the stuff that was kind of insurn in the news cycle going
into the weekend, Uh, we're gonna we're gonna get right after we got
to talk about this Pentagon report that I guess it got turned back to Pentagon
leadership around Christmas, and with very little fanfare, it then made its way
into the into the public. And it's weird because it doesn't seem like anyone
in the administration wants to talk about it. This was a report that was
commissioned back in twenty twenty one and was reportedly in response to January sixth,
and specifically military all right, members of the military are veterans, right.
This narrative that goes back to it goes back to like Janet Nepolitano under Obama
where they put out a list of potential domestic terrorists and like military service was
the was one of the big indicator was it was wildly insulting and and at
that point, there really wasn't you know, they hadn't wasn't any basis other
than speculation, which is something obviously politicians do. And well they actually looked
at it, right and believe it or not. And we'll get into the
details. Some of the projections by weepye Democrats simply isn't true. And there
seems to be other bigger issues in as it impacts military readiness here that isn't
the you know, a bunch of them are forming their own clayan groups or
you know what, whatever narrative was out there, because it's just not reality.
And now we have basically like a two year study that was done on
this, and also the Rand Corporation, which loves government projects, being a
big contractor, doing a lot of studies. You remember them from the Pentagon
papers. Yeah, those guys, even their own analysis show that that's a
bunch of bs. So I very much look forward to that. We'll get
to that coming up here, because I was just I was just reading through
it this morning, I first time I laid eyes on it, and what
what a story that seeming Lee is just being ignored. I know, I
know, we're all shocked. So all right, six' ten. Very
you didn't have to stress for the night game Ross, so I like,
kudos to you on that, but now you got to stress for your next
playoff game. I was stressing though, I mean I thought that I wasn't
going to, but then I did because I realized that if we were to
lose, then you have You're back in Miami, and then you have Baltimore.
If you beat Miami, then next week. Yeah, and so this
way it's like the Stealers at home and then maybe Kansas City. So but
I listen real good, and I don't know, man, I don't know
what's going on in Kansas City. Anyway, what were we gonna say?
Yeah, so, I mean we watched Reacher for the first half of the
game. I want to point out you said you're talking about the first season.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so good. It's a great show.
Yeah, no idea. I've seen the movie with Tom Cruise, and the
dude that plays Reacher is a bit different than Tom Cruise. Well, that
dude who plays Reacher is Reacher in the book, right, Tom Cruise was
right, right, So no, it's great. I just know that Ivan,
our former intern, was sending me because I was trying to avoid the
game so I wouldn't stress trying just because of this, I was gonna ignore
the game, and I wanted to get some sleep because you know, we
get up really early in the show and work and work ethic and blah blah
blah. Right, so I'm just watching it. But then I even't started
sending me messages. He's like, Josh Allen screwing up my Fantasy league.
I was gonna win the championship, and I'm like, it's one of those
first half Josh games. By the way, I will say this, it's
having your championship on the last week of the year is in fantasy sucks man,
And just because you know half your people could be sitting who the heck
knows, right, I understand this frustration, but turned out okay form huh
right. But then I checked out the score at halftime, and then I
did not go to bed. I was like, I'm gonna go to bed,
and then I checked this into the score and I'm like, oh dog,
I wanted to win this game. Yeah, And it was a good
second half. So I texted Ivan afterwards and I said, did you win
your thing? And he goes, yeah, I did. And uh four
hundred and twenty six total yards thirty for thirty eight. It was a good
second half. That's pretty good, I think. Yeah, let me checks
you what Nickmullins had for the Vikings. Yeah, have that go. You
know what actually went well? I'm so happy. I don't like even that
four percent chance. I wanted nothing to do with it, right, because
now you do have distress. I don't have to worry. Look the team,
So, I mean, we got a few people back, but like
you know, we're just we're not in a good place. And the last
thing I need is one of about three kind of promising dudes to like,
you know, have their leg fall off during garbage time. So and you
know, I kind of like the Eagles yesterday. I know it wasn't garbage
time, but they took a bunch of few teams. Did you saw wat
went out? Right? Yeah? I did see that. Yeah for Pittsburgh.
So like you guys got to be paying attention to that. So yeah,
no, I'm uh That's how I felt on Sunday morning. It was
like, well, this stress is either going to end today or be uh,
you know, prolonged for like another week. So it's like more stress
or it's a win win really yeah, but it's playoffs stress. So that's
fine. I guess wins in Buffalo because they're hosting the Steelers are gonna be
like twenty thirty miles per hour wins. Well this is this. You were
telling me this, and I was thinking, you guys haven't had a weather
game yet, have you yet? At home? Right, So like you
kind of that's you know, that's a little thing in your pocket late season.
Maybe get one of those games where they're like, oh, we got
to move it to Detroit. You know, Dallas said that they're the game
they played was a weather game because it was raining. No, you know
what I mean, Yeah, an actual league front snow Buffalo Bill's weather game,
right, yeah, you know, you know, Miami's always gonna get
Miami if it's not raining, They're going to get that advantage throughout the year
with uh, you know, putting the other team to cook on the other
side of the field. So yeah, with Buffalo, you guys kind of
have to pray for uh horribleness too, which I I think totally fits with
the the ruffian character of your fan base. What listen though, what a
ridiculous season A little bit, yeah, a little bit, like what is
the season was on crack? Like, you're six and six, you're like
a twenty percent chance of making the playoffs. You win the final five,
eleven and six, and you go from the eleven seed to the two seed
in the span of five games. It's that's stupid. Well why is it?
Way holds on? Why is that stupid? Yes? Stupid? You
guys had to do? Was turned to al Qaida? All right, So
for people don't know that reference, just real quick, explain this insanity.
So after the Bill was lost to Kansas City in the in the what do
you call it for the conference game, Yes, Sean McDermott gave a little
speech afterwards. He's the coach of the Buffalo Bills, to try to motivate
his team, and he made a nine to eleven. He made a nine
to eleven al Qaeda reference. Oh and like you said, this season's been
stupid, man, There's been so much drama. Whis like firing the offensive
coordinator halfway through the season and this McDermott stuff, and yeah, and then
to go from the eleven seed to the two seed in the span of five
weeks is just ridiculous. So when you say he made reference, he's like,
ah, they're bad, and then they you know, Honestly, I'm
gonna be honest, I don't even know the full story there because I saw
the headlines and I was like, I don't want to know. I was
like, I don't want to know. I didn't hear the speech and here,
so I just know that he made some sort of Alkaida reference and I'm
like, I'm out, I don't even want to know. He talked about
small groups pulling together, which is not inaccurate. Listen, you know,
sometimes you're you're on the spot and you're feeling the pressure and you don't know
you you just blurt things out. I want to point out that we are
currently in a place that we have never been in my lifetime or your lifetime
for that matter. There is the potential for a Lions Brown's Super Bowl.
Yeah. Yeah, that was my excitement level too at the possibility. I'm
sure at the NFL headquarters too, they're like, oh, dear God,
we got to rig it. This can't happen. Yeah. I think the
Browns do beat the Ravens, Obviously, I'm very biased. I think that
it's gonna be I think it's gonna be Bill's Browns. The Ravens looked ridiculous.
I think it's gonna be now Bill's versus forty nine or Super Bowl completely
biased. I mean, if they get past Pittsburgh because they play down to
their opponents. They lost to the Jets, they listen to the Patriots,
they lost to the Broncos. Yeah, letting bag of milk go down and
score the final ninety seconds of the game. So I mean, if they
play their game, if Josh Allen isn't sugar high Josh, I think they're
gonna do great. I think the only person that can beat Josh Allen is
Josh Allen. And you know, and you look at some other you know,
today's today's coach firing day, although they Atlantic coach I think was fired
last night. Gotta get rid of that guy from Miami. What's McDaniel.
I'll get rid of him, really, I think they Yeah, no,
they hate him even know if you saw him a in a place, you
think he was there to fix your computers. Right now, he's great,
kind of looks like that dude, but yeah, obviously he's I believe what
they're ten and what were they ten or eleven and eleven and six? Dolphins?
So you guys were what eleven and six? Oh? Look at that?
So same as the Chiefs. And there you go. So all right,
well, I guess we'll wait and see. What did I say?
What was I seeing too? And and I saw that the Panthers fans were
mad at Tepper again because he doesn't want to have Harbaugh or something. I
honestly didn't dig into it, but I could, you know, will be
an interesting day. We'll see how it goes, all right, So we
got that if you want to opine on anything football related, you're welcome to.
Also we got we got James Bond in the news. That's fun,
right, that the study I was telling you about, And we found a
new level to the removal of statues and names of things. And it's a
doozy thank you to the state of Pennsylvania. So all that more coming your
way. K c O Day Radio program one six one M talking PTI,
two stations driving. The best in talk is Casey O'Day and Carolina's Morning News.
I gotta be honest, I didn't get fed all all those memes and
whatnot. So the algorithm thinks you want to see pictures of some naked dude.
Is that what you're telling me? They were are Oh they said it
was trending, all right, So this is this is a story We did
Friday or Thursday, I don't know, end of last week, and it
was like there was like a tufur in bass Pro shop. So you had
the dude who just for Christmas went in and stole a fifty pound fish and
a net strolled out. And then in Alabama last week you had a guy
who went to the bass Pro there and that like bridge, that high bridge
or stairs over the world the fish are. He decided he was gonna go
cannon and ball off. That bad boy naked into the tank below did injure
himself, but I guess he injured himself not for the part of the water,
but when he like missed and hit concrete or something. I don't know.
So yeah, I mean that story is obviously nuts. So we had
a little fun with it, but we didn't, you know, we didn't
have photographic Evidently he didn't have the video that was trending. Like I think
I saw a screen shot and I didn't watch it because it was a naked
dude doing a cannon ball. It's like shrinkage. And I'm like, ah,
this must be some sort of funny Seinfeld meme because that's you know,
from Seinfeld, right, And it was not. But the thing showed up
on the same nature. It's also from nature. I think count count what's
his name, Dankula, dunk whatever, Yeah, with the pug. Yeah.
He posted a video and I was scrolling and it there it is,
And I'm like, if you're that dude and you're in the tank and the
cameras are filming full frontal, there's no coming back from that, Like what
do you mean, there's no like if he if he if he was you
know, not high in t rooms or whatever, and he realizes that he's
being filmed and that is happening downstairs and you look down. At that point,
you have no other option but to but to drown yourself. Just finish,
finish the job. There's no shoe yourself because well, look, trout
need cold water, right, and so you're gonna have You're gonna have some.
It's you know, it's not gonna be it's not gonna be a warm
North Carolina pond in August. You know what, I'm saying so, And
obviously he didn't think about that before he uh took the plunge, so to
speak. So so he's now trending. Yeah, you're name trending with hashtag
shrinkage. Probably not gonna go well for you. So all right, So
we got the football, we got the crazy guy with the fish, we
got you know, today's day where you this is where you can see coaches
fired. You're seeing you know, the uh, you know, the shaping
up of football players, at least those who were you know, coming to
uh enter college and and uh you know, college is scrambling to get them.
There was We're gonna see a lot of that news now that as we
get out of the college football season and the NFL season moves into moves into
the the playoff picture. By the way, there was another dude trending ross.
I don't know, if you follow a lot of the college recruiting and
all that stuff, there was there was one guy who's who's probably gonna play
for West Virginia. Do you see that dude trending on? Oh? Okay,
all right, well I just texted it to you so on your phone
there. So this is just so I did see that going around? Yeah,
yeah, well, I'm sorry, I just I just flipped it off
my what was what was the guy's name? I don't know. I just
texted it to you and I had to flip over to get this story about
the military thing. I'm familiar with the stories. So what do you tell
us? Well, I know, read right, but in front of you,
his name's Noah, right, a very biblical name. Yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah, but that's why I remember. I can't remember his last
name. Do you have his last name? I sure don't. You sure
don't. Huh. His last name is spelled k n I G G A.
Is there a chance like he won't get drafted because of his name?
Well? Because what what like broadcaster is going to want to say that?
I think the Patriots need this. They should sign him right now. Yeah,
they need help. And by the way it is pronounced, it's like
canuts and you ever heard that with that name? It's like that, but
you sound everything out as as you think it is. So dude, I
can't imagine that kid's child. This is one O six one f M Talk
in the Triangle and Near's Talk ninety four five w pt I and the triad.
All right, good morning, it is six thirty five Day Radio.
First, Why should he have to change his name? Ross is saying that
he did should change his nances And it's not his fault that his last name
is spelled like that and pronounced like that with an you know, with an
A. I'm just saying it might hurt your business opportunities and it's going to
be hard to broadcast, right, is somebody in broadcasting well right? Right?
Or not? Say it if it's not a big deal. If it's
not a big deal, na, if it's not a big deal, say
his name right now, I'm not the broadcaster for the West Virginia football team.
If there you go, in fact to college he goes to it's changed
his name to Noah Smith. That's so boring, though, I mean,
look, we got to do. There's a dude in the NFL name haha
Dix, Right, that's a dude. That's so what he didn't change his
name now? Uh, Now, this guy you don't even know he's going
to go to the NFL. He's just trying to find a college program,
do you know, to settle in at so if I was the play by
play guy for West Virginia. I might be on the phone to the coach
just be like, hey, I think the NFL should sign him right now,
and collins Worth should call the first game just so they will fire Chris
Collinsworth. Can you imagine it's just great, just keep firing Whoever the play
was, He's like, what I have? What do you want me to
do? Now? I think there's gonna be a lot of like number seventy
three, you know that kind of stuff. But we'll see. All right,
So we got we got that, we got that going Ross is getting
down with the Reacher program, and uh, he got so into it he
forgot to watch the Golden Globes. I have no idea what happened, except
Taylor Swift made an angry face. That is the extent that I saw of
what actually transpired. Oh and uh, Sean Penn rescued the host from a
from a desert story or not the the not the main host, but the
pre host, which is a thing I didn't know was a thing. Apparently
they're all coming back from something Palm Springs and the electric car died and then
Sean Penn rescued him. By rescue, I mean, he just stopped to
help, but they had like this big story on New York Post this morning.
I'm like, oh, man, I knew before I clicked. I
didn't care about this, but I had to learn about it. So how
you do too? All right? Oh what is this? You will send
me all kinds of stuff. Well, no, the playoffs, it's all
so we know what the games are. There is no maybe about it.
Go look him up. If you want to know Ross's Bills play Sunday.
That's there, the first game Sunday. But there's there's two games Saturday,
three on Sunday, and then one on Monday. Monday's Eagles Bucks. I
think the Dolphins are in Kansas City. Dolphins are all right, So it
goes like there's Browns at Texans Saturday, Dolphins at Chiefs Saturday evening, and
then three game Sunday, Steelers, Bills, Packers, Cowboys, Rams,
Lions, and then the Eagles have to play Tampa on on Monday, and
the way they're looking, they probably lose to them. As here that team
is not looking good man. But yeah, that's the that's the picture set
out there at the times everything, so we know what's up, all right.
This story is crazy too, and I heard it on our national news
because apparently they found the the quote plug door on this plane. So once
again, although this is a slightly different model, this is the Instead of
these seven three seven eight hundred bullyings which like to dive out of the sky
back in the day, this is the seven three seven nine hundred series.
And apparently as it was taken off, this was an Alaska Airline's flight and
they're climbing altitude. Just a couple of minutes after they took off, you
know, the side of the plane blew off, blew out, So now
they got a you know, oxygen mastered down. Obviously there's no cabin pressure
at that point and they're having to return. Nobody was injured other than perhaps
their you know, their pants in that moment. I mean, I don't
care how seasoned a flyer you are. I feel like when part when the
side of the plane blows off, everybody's gonna be losing their crap. The
two hundred passengers again you know, stay seated, put the masks on,
and they were able to make a landing back at the Portland Airport. But
they were trying to find the door so that they put an a Hey,
if you see an airline door while you're out and about today, maybe give
us a call. And sure enough, it ended up in some dude named
Bob's yard, which apparently he doesn't have a last name. But like the
the NTSB lady was like that, Bob found it. Bob's a teacher at
Portland. Thanks Bob. It was really weird. But yeah, but obviously
Bob had never heard of finders keepers either. So I'm sorry, man,
something from a you know, something like that lands in your yard, that's
your property, right, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I wonder
how many of the crackheads around Portland were looking for it just to resell the
metal. Well either way, I mean, thankfully nobody was hurt, but
you know, I obviously could have done some serious damage. It's not exactly
super light, but it's also at twenty thousand feet when it starts descending with
the full force of gravity. Again, the plane landed safety safely at Portland
International. But what likely contributed to the fact that nobody was hurt is,
thankfully, which is not common in this day and age, the plane was
you know, it had two hundred people on there, but you know,
it fits quite a bit more and they were not full, and so literally
where this where this door is that blew off. Nobody was sitting there,
so you know, who knows what would have happened if somebody was sitting there
didn't have their belt on. Who the heck knows. Man. But now
they decided, well, we got we gotta check all the planes for this
thing, and so they grounded. I think there's one hundred and seventy planes
out there of this series, and that caused a bunch of cancelations. But
they're inspecting them pretty quickly, I guess, and already have started returning many
to many to service, although they don't really specify what happened as to why
that failed. So yeah, but crazy story. They're just glad nobody got
hurt. All right, six forty two here on the CaCO Day radio program.
Let me get into this because you know, we've heard the stories right
members that you got to keep an eye on the on these veterans or members
of the military because extremism, extremism everywhere. This was hyped up saying the
military was infiltrated by extremist threats for years. The Pentagon finally released a long
awaited report on Domestic Extremism in the Military. This commissioned April twenty twenty one,
following January sixth, where you know, there was a handful of active
duty members and veterans who were among those arrested. I guess I would question
whether they, I mean, regardless of you know, whether you think January
sixth, are still cold domestic terrorists or in the case of somebody sentenced to
a year last week, somebody the judge recognized didn't destroy anything, wasn't violent,
and just appeared to be walking, he still got a year. You
know, whether that group was outsized as a percentage of military service, do
you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, you throw this false
equivalent and you're like, ah see, you have this huge number there.
I never heard any numbers justifying why that percentage of those arrested that either served
or were serving was any bigger than you know, what you would expect to
be actively represented among a big group. But they did the study anyway.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin commissioned the report wanting to get an insight into the
problem, and they spent two years a crap ton of our money. There's
more than one hundred defense officials, experts, and various other folks who were
interviewed as part of this study, and the results indicate by this was done
by the Institute for Defense Analysis. This is kind of like RAN. This
is a group that does a lot of this stuff, helping to get scope
of things within the military, and so you know, this is their wheelhouse.
Wrote in the report that the Department of Defense, quote, may have
inflated the problem, and they went on they went further in the report to
say that the risk of the military from white sped polarization and division within the
ranks is a far greater risk than radicalization of service members. So they found
so few instances of this, you know, this huge problem we were told
about that they pointed it out. They they pointed it out. They wrote
this report and pointed it out in a way that was, I want to
say, very directional. You know a lot of these reports, they come
in and do them and they kind of know what the people who ordered the
report want. So while they may not skew the numbers, they'll tailor the
narrative in them, right because they want they want to do business again.
And if you do something that craps all over the folks in charge. You
may not get contracts right away. Take that conspiracy theory for what it's worth,
but I don't think it's wrong if you've read a few of these,
but they just came right out and they're like, nah, no, if
you want to know what what's hampering the military right now, it's it's politics,
polarization and division and not you know, guys getting radicalized as white supremacists
or what you know. Whatever. The theory was, well, why why,
oh why would the military be polarized right now? I think that we
can point to some examples. But man, you might back and look at
the headline. Here's some headlines from when they decided to do this. Let's
see, here we go. Pentagon report to warn a threat from white supremacists
inside the military. That's from NBC. So they, you know, they
talked about how they're going to do this thing, and then they told you
what the outcome was going to be in the headline. Because on another NBC's
journalists or psychic or whatever Axios published a story Pentagon report domestic extremists post serious
threat to the military. Vice News American tear or the military's problem with extremism
in the ranks. This is all this was all published back when they were
wanting to get into this. The Boston Globe the single biggest threat to the
security of the country extremism in the military, alarming experts. Some of these
headlines include quotes from Democrats where they had access to the data already, because
that one was from July, Like, they knew what was up. We
the public just hadn't seen it yet, so they knew it wasn't nothing burger
and then still went out and held their own It's just horrible. It's just
overrun. The spread of white supremacist ideology is dangerous from the military and threatens
to rupture safeguards that our democracy requires. There we go with the democracy thing,
because remember that's the campaign strategy right now of the Biden administration or the
Biden campaign. We played you the first spot last week that they put out,
and then they uh, and then they get this report back and it's
like, yeah, all of that, all of this thing you were so
worried about, not a thing. It'd be you got bigger problems. So
maybe you should look at that. But I think we know we'll we'll probably
not see them address that they'll double down on this in some way, shape
or form. I'm sure there'll be some fun press conferences today, all right,
six forty eight. Uh, you know what maybe Nancy Pelosi could do.
She can go out and do some press. She did over the weekend,
and boy boy was that fun hold on for her getting roasted by Let's
see, was it Fox News? Was it the Daily Caller? Uh?
No, No, Nancy Pelosi getting roasted by this the mainstream media. I'll
explain coming up, Hang on your Day Smarter one six one haf M Talk
and News Talk ninety four to five w PTI more with Casey Starts. Now,
yeah, I get you know what it is, though, I you
know what I think it is. For Ross, it's all the New York
transplants down in Miami. You know, you're probably right because those that sounds
like Yankees Twitter and completely Yeah, it's like send Aaron Boone and the Sun
type stuff. Yeah. So apparently the Dolphins fans are upset at who everybody?
Uh they because you know, when your team wins, they post or
they lose, they post the announcement of social media with like you know,
the yeah, the photo and the screen cap and like the score, and
like, right the final and it so I say the final twenty one fourteen,
And then you go into comments and I say, like, ninety percent
of these people are like two in neat two is done fire to get rid
of to two is him and the other The other ten percent are like it's
the owner's fault, Like the owner is a loser. Owner. Didn't he
go and hire everybody, but he put together a stack team. This is
the best team they've had in like forty years. The team is ridiculous that.
By the way, not only did he put his stacked team together,
keep in mind he wanted to win so bad they tried to illegally recruit Brady.
Right. This isn't like a Carolin of Panthers type owner situation, right,
this is this guy. You can't say they're not trying. The team
is completely stacked and they're in the playoffs. I mean, granted, they
got to play the Chiefs in Kansas City in zero degree weather in zero so
that'll be uh, that'll be fun. Oh yeah, man to it,
you know what to it look good in purple? Well, I'll take him
if you guys are done it. When I feel bad about that because Kirk
Cousins, even though he's injured, Like, you know, because I obviously
I consume a lot of the Minnesota media, he seems like a good dude,
like a really good Literally the day after that injury, there was like
this kid's event at Winter Park, which is what they call the Vikings headquarters
there, and like they told him, like, obviously you don't have to
show up, and he's like, what are you talking about? And he's
rolling around out on the practice field on one of those little like you know,
those little roly things that you get just for your knee and leg,
and he's going around, he's doing all that, and since he wasn't playing,
I guess he was like doubling up doing appearance and kids stuff. Like,
Ah, I can't be bad at that, dude. But you know,
if if it comes to pass, they go in a different direction.
The Dolphins don't want them. I watched the Vikings quarterback Nick Bullens try to
make three passes while prone yesterday and lost my crap every time. But I
mean he's literally laid out and he's still trying to make the pass. It's
just interception pick six City and and the fact that it didn't happen. Is
U was crazy to me? All right? I heard Justin Jefferson might be
a Bill. I heard the Bills might trade Stefan Diggs for Justin Jefferson.
Now where did I hear this? I heard this from a Rando twitter account.
Yeah, I read it this, mort Yeah, right as you were
tweeting it. Is that what happened? Know what? Wasn't mean? I
mean, I'm crazy, but I'm not like, you know, full scale
lunatic. So Jefferson into this big like he has huge celebration after his score.
He had like one hundred and seventy yards, they said, but he
scored a touchdown, had the yards, and I saw some guys like,
oh, you're you're not even winning. Why are you so happy? And
I realized he just hit a thousand yards, and I'm like, he just
probably triggered a bunch of bonuses. So you know, I understand why he's
happy. But yeah, all right, we'll get the Pelosi stuff here in
a moment. All right, welcome back, and good morning, everybody,
Happy Monday. It was seven o seven here on the CaCO Day radio program.
All right, we have little football discussion. We've got some Pelosi audio
she's being interviewed by ABC News, and even the ABC News interview ladies like,
come on, come on, and it just you know, it's just
a it's a wonderful lesson and how easy it is to just ballface, lie
and never care because you've been trained where no matter what you say, there's
never really going to be the same level of pushback or scrutiny by the media
that your political rivals get. So it kind of makes you lazy, right
or you just you know, like the White House once a week tweets something
out about, ah, the most job growth of any president, and everyone
knows what the caveat is, right, you know, post COVID all of
that, and so you know, uh, measuring financial or employment data for
the back half of Trump's term or the front part of Joe Biden's is meaningless
without context because it's just you know, it's just so far off. But
again, you you'll keep doing it as long as you can get away with
it. So we got that, and so I'll hit here in just a
moment for you. And then Ross and I were talk fucking little football there
and oh dude, I forgot one thing and I'm not trying to draw I'm
not trying to rub this in in any way, shape or form. I
got no beef with the Panther fans. I feel for you, and you
know, especially with the you know, the essentially the pain of the future
that they did last year to acquire Bryce Young and and now you're just sitting
there and you got no first round picks this year. I mean, they
need a lot of help. But I saw this stat and it was one
of them where I'm just like, there's no like. I looked at it
and I'm like, ah, that doesn't make sense to me. So I
looked it up. Are you ready for the stat? Ross? Did you
know that this year the Carolina Panthers have never held a lead during the fourth
quarter for any single play during the entire regular season? Wow? Never in
the And you're saying, well, case they have two wins, right,
Both of them were field goals as the clock hit zero. Nearly every Panthers
fan, I know, they just all want the owner gone. They're like,
we're not going to see success till the owner is gone. Yeah,
I don't know what you do. I mean, you got to get another
super billionaire to come in and buy the team. Maybe who knows, and
who knows, Maybe he's frustrated to the point where he's just like I'm done
with this. But he's also rich enough where can you know, like the
ego may not allow him to fail, you know what I'm saying. So
we'll we'll see how that goes. But yeah, I mean, only nowhere
to go but up. I was thinking yesterday though, you know, you
know how they're having you know how they have a hobo problem downtown Charlotte,
right because they had like people like run around pooping everywhere. I thought,
what if the city of Charlotte took the three hundred section of the Panther Stadium
and put all the homes was there, right, there's there's concessions up there,
so you know, there's a kitchen, there's bathrooms, and it's not
like they're going to you know, come in contact with anybody that was you
know, they were having problems they remember, I remember they were selling tickets
for like less than the fees would be on the resell site. And that's
I mean, that's a hole to pull yourself out of. So get the
hobos up there. They'll be boisterous and he'd be like oh, look at
that. So I'll maybe I'll suggest that to Pete later this week. We'll
see what he thinks. All right, So Nancy Pelosi is on ABC News
and she gets asked about what happened in Colorado. Supreme Court, by the
way, is now indicated that they will review the Colorado Trump removal decision,
and then what happened up in Maine with the Secretary of State up there.
This is what they're asking Pelosi about, Right, do you really feel that
this is good considering you're all about quote unquote democra now and she throws out
this this answer, which, honestly, I thought the reporter was going to
let it go because it was so stupid, but it sounded like an answer.
But actually, did you know push back on her a little, and
she's momentarily rattled, but then indicates she doesn't give a crap how wrong she
is. Listen to this. If you believe he engaged an insurrection under the
plain meaning of the fourteenth Amendment, you believe he's ineligible to be president.
Those law those are up to the states. They have different laws from state
to state. I don't think he should ever of the Constitution, but nonetheless,
but there's a view of the Constitution in Article fourteen, section three that
he should not be able to run for president. But that's not the point.
The point now is that again, different states have different laws. We
don't think in California that it applied in our state. That's what the decision
was made here. But anyway, not to go into that because that's very
intricate. What is there clear is that the American people want us to honor
our oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I mean,
you want to talk about just a mental gymnastics to to go ahead and
get we do. It's state to state and you know, good, I
said, she he was thinking of a different clip, but yeah, but
he's like, it's the Constitution, right, It's this is sure, there's
states have different liquor rules, right, and states have different you know,
and then insert whatever it is that is not something that is of a federal
mandate and that you find you can make that argument, you know, different
thoughts on abortion, now that's the that's the big New States thing. But
when it comes to what the federal you know, application of the Constitution based
on federal office holders or those who would run for him. That's not how
it works, and and that was the answer she was going to go with,
and then it kind of still did even though there was a pushback there,
So not surprised now. It didn't get more aggressive than that, by
the way. Following that rambly answer, then they were like, oh,
yeah, no, we'll go ahead, and we'll go ahead and move on
to another question. All right, let me grab a call here, Jim,
what's up? Hey, just wanted to congratulate Ross on the awesome performance
of his team last night. They're the champions of their division. You might
be interested in this though case. The Eagles have declined their position in the
playoffs schedule and are auctioning off that, and so maybe the Saints, the
yeah, the Viking might be interested in bidding on that, because let's face
it, the Eagles are headed in the wrong direction. And I'm a band
I like him. Well, so here is the deal. So yesterday,
Uh, you know, I'm watching with the group of guys I normally watch.
One is an Eagles fan and it's a it's an absolute sickness with him,
right, He's he is the stress levels. And so we went and
uh, he lived right near me. So a lot of times will uber
because you know, for drinking whatever. And uh, and so watch the
Vikings game and then uh, we made halfway through the Eagles game, and
I thought he was going to punch somebody, and he's like, dude,
I got to get out of here. And I'm just like, yeah,
I don't care about this either. So I went home. Actually cart pulled
home there. But that guy with the injuries that they suffered, uh,
and that giant's field and turf issue, frankly, I think he wishes they
weren't in the playoffs now. It was crazy to watch so well, I
sure was. The Cowboys game was the was an early schedule so that Eagles
could have scoreboard watched and saw that they had no chance to move up or
down in the seating and would have rested everybody. But now we've got like
third string quarterbacks and we've got I mean, our defense has shredded our offense.
Now we don't have any wide receivers other than Quez Watkins. And so
anyway, yeah, yeah, that turf fan A J. Brown watching them
get to hung up on that, that's just nightmare. Yep. So yep,
that's the one that did in Rogers. All right, Hey Jim,
appreciate the call this morning. All right, So is there any fan base
that's happy? I just maybe the Ravens. You're Ravens fan, you're probably
pretty happy that that game is. I mean, that team is right now.
They're just firing on all cylinders, man, and they and they,
you know, go out and get Dalvin Cook. You serious? So I
don't know. I think I think it's safe to say the AFC is much
beefier than the NFC. I think if you just look at the teams in
there. But you know, the records are for with the exception of the
Ravens, are all better for the top three in the NFC, So we
shall see. All right, some people are so annoying. Are you talking
about football? Because we do? And because instead of watching the Golden Globes
we decided to watch football, and Ross wanted to watch Jack Reacher yesterday.
So if not, I'd be talking about the Golden Globes. But I don't
care. What was the headline? It was garbage that the headline you read
earlier? Ross basically yeah, tweet, try to show account love. It
was yes, because you did talk about it for like, you know,
kind of sort of. Well, no, I just think the headline's purpose.
Yeah, from the near I know about it. From the near posts
Golden Globes twenty twenty four, We're a new Low for Dying Award show.
Oh good good and Golden Globes are the one where they them get hammered during
the show, because that's like it creates moments or something. Are you aware?
Were you aware of this? I wasn't aware of this. I had
no idea. Yeah, so it's like it's the booziest Lord show, right.
I know it's different than the Oscars because they're in the Oscars, they're
all sitting in the roads and like the big auditorium, and with this,
it always seems like they're at like little tiny dinner tables. And yeah,
you're right, there was a straight open bar man. So like if you
think about it, like the Chris Rock Will Smith moment could have been more
interesting, right, they're just like barroom brawl hammered. Who the heck knows.
But and that's the extent. I don't know who won anything. I
I didn't dig into it, but I here's what I did dig into.
Every time we get a new story about some statue or some name change.
It's like it's all self fulfilling prophecy of everything that was speculated when they were
just like, oh no, we just want to take the Nathaniel Bedford Forests
thing down, that's all. And you know, Trump obviously basically said they're
gonna be them for Columbus and everyone else, and we were all assured that
was not the case. And then there were discussions like where they want to
rename high schools who were named after Lincoln and MLK. Well they found a
new one. They found a new crazy town, and this one's up in
Pennsylvania. I'll give you the details coming up next. TA keeping you connected.
This is ninety four to five WPTI in the Triad and talk in the
Triangle. Don't worry, I saw several have sent me this. We will
really get to the William Barber follow up story. Yes, yes, yes,
there's more to the AMC insanity And uh, this article is a quite
the read because there's a couple little nuggets I was not aware of, and
uh it just just wait for it. We'll get to that in a moment.
But first we had to Pennsylvania pencil. All right, The Pennsylvania,
first word being Penn or first syllable being Penn. That's because William Penn is
the founder of Pennsylvania and is obviously has a statue. His home in Philadelphia
is a National National Park site, and it actually is the property, his
property where a statue of them sits. Well, now you're ready for this,
The administration says it will be removing William Penn from his home the statue
and instead replace it with Native American history. If you don't, if we
don't, I jumping the way back machine. So pens deal was he created,
chartered, was able to negotiate the chartering of the area and eventually obviously
into what it was, but it was done as a quote haven for religious
freedom, so that that was his thing. Unfortunately, though, the National
Park Services they're going to remove it from the property that was Penn's property in
the city of Philadelphia, which he founded, in the state of Pennsylvania,
which he chartered, and they're gonna just, I guess, get rid of
it. I got a question at this point, you just got to change
your name, right because this this is yet another example of you know,
the stuff we were saying on the air, like what are you gonna do.
You get in the state of Washington gonna change its name, why don't
you And other than some mountains and a ski area like well remember the Squad
Squad Valley they changed the name of that, you know, others than some
stuff like that. I guess they haven't really approached that particular possibility. But
I think now you're here because that's the d that's the states, that's the
name of the state. Man. So I look forward to what they're going
to come up with, and I'm sure Twitter can be very helpful and cobbling
something together for him. But also in North Carolina, so you're gonna change
every street, well some of them, they did. You change the name
of the various cities. Sir Walter Rawleigh unfortunately lived at a time when slavery
was a thing, so just by you know, purely carbon dating at that
point, that's probably got to change arguably the state of North Carolina, right,
the Carolina portion of that. You're going back to British Royalty. That
was in fact, you know, slavery was happening under that particular timeframe.
This is uh, you know, this is the slippery slope argument that I've
made every time and keep getting proved right on. So I look forward to
that conversation, which probably isn't going to happen, because you know, taking
that statue down is easy and pandering, and you can go ahead and do
all that, but ultimately I feel like you don't. You don't have the
political capital to sit and get them to change the name, when in reality,
that's what you should be asking for if you firmly believe this stuff,
that this is helpful in any way, shape or form. Ah anyway,
all right, seven twenty eight, we'll get to that. I got a
little William Barber update pria as apparently that that scams producing results. Yeah,
I called it a scam, you bet. I'll explain coming up next CaCO
Day Radio program. The show after the show is on the iHeartRadio app.
Search case O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. And I'm
gonna get to the I'm gonna get to the Harbard thing here in just a
moment. But I heard it again and in our in our bottom of the
hour newscast. There So this dude in Portland or near Portland, who you
woke up to find an airplane door in his yard, his name is Bob.
And if if you happen to listen to the newscast, they keep the
playing cuts in there from the the transfer, the TSA or no NTSB lady
and she's just like, thank you Bob for returning the door. And Bob,
we don't have a last name, just Bob, Like he doesn't want
to give us last name. Why. I mean, I guess he doesn't
have to, but like I have questions now, like Bob, just Bob,
and he doesn't want to. It's like if they had found like gold
on Bob's property, right, Like I would not want my name out there
because then people be like, aha, I'm going to Bob's house. I
hear there's gold, and that's you know. That's but he found the door
and he just gave it back to him, And I'm like, he has
to be like a former mob hitman turned infemant in witness protection, right,
Yeah, No, he has to be because most people would be like,
hey, give me my five minutes of fame. My name is blah blah
blah, and I found the door, and this guy's like, Bob,
please, It's the alternative is probably like, well, you know, nobody's
actually named Bob. I mean no, no, but it's like, what's
the altern of like Henry Hill found the door, right, you know,
yeah, yeah, well you know what that's like, God, damn it,
no, I'm dead. But but like, you know what's weird?
He is, Like they could have just said, uh, a resident of
Portland found the door and left it at that, but like, no,
they chose to go with Bob. Bob and Bobson found the door. Yeah
yeah, like Bob and face, you know, Bob Big bobber face or
whatever you know, the Internet named him. But then they're like, no,
we're just gonna go with Bob, and we're gonna make a point of
explaining that we're not going to give you his last name, which is almost
like an Internet challenge at that point, right because they know the neighborhood where
this foul and people can look up property records. But Bob, I don't
know that thing is The kids say, sounds suss right there, the thing
that thing lands in my backyard. I'm getting some for it. The government.
They're like, hey, did you guess their door? And I'm like,
n that's my coffee table, bro. That's just that's a conversation piece
unless you get for it. That is like, that is nice, got
it right under the data of the data painting. And I'm holding out for
some good like a bogo to olive garden or something. Fine, now you
can have your stupid doorback. What is And my name is Mauras Hayes from
Wake Forest, like it would be like, oh, Bob, definitely not
in the mafia. No, I think you have to go at that point.
You don't have to go just with Bob, but you got to go
with your your alter ego from twitch right, just to see how many people
are paying attention to the news. The name is dig Bickhams. Yeah,
wow, what a great name. Let's put that in the art of course
of door film a property. I'm a legit right have to say, now
you got a coffee table, Well they should have. They should have coughed
up the olive garden. It's not your fault, all right. So check
this out. And I'm reading this and just to show there's a couple indicators
in here again that this whole never let a crisis go to waste manufactured outrage
bs, that that the Reverend William Barber sol glowed the buffet layer as he
is sometime referred to around here and you know where. If you were just
to process this or remove all the politics and insanity, what you'd see is
somebody who, yes, does require accommodation. Nobody's arguing that, however,
and the reverend actually tweaked the language a little in his little statement here.
But a business attempting to reasonably accommodate somebody, and that word reasonable is really
important, right because they realize that one hundred percent accommodation at all times,
even to the detriment of the business or others, is not legally possible or
should be permissible, which is why they put this caveat that it needs to
be reasonable. And an example of somebody with a high top chair in a
movie theater setting is if their positioned in the quote unquote handicapped area, but
that area is in sight line for other people and you're now in an elevated
position blocking them, would I don't that doesn't meet reasonable accommodation. Reasonable if
there was not creating a fire code violation, and they could find off to
the side a place for him to have that high backed chair, that would
be more reasonable. But it sounds like a conversation never got there, because
it appears that from the moment he was confronted, it was full steam ahead
on turning this into this thing. How do I know? Let me read
you a little line here that I was unaware of, all right, and
I'll read you as quotes. Let's see here, all right? Barbera said
the chair was placed in area set aside for people using wheelchairs. Nobody's disagreeing
with that. The theater's management, however, said Barbara said that he could
not use the chair and threaten to have him arrested if he did not leave.
Did they tell him he couldn't use it in that space that sideline?
How did he get the chair in there? Like? We need more details,
but here we go. This line is the one I want to draw
your attention to. Barbara had brought his ninety year old mother to the theater
and several other people, barber said. After he left the building, a
security guard directed him and a reporter who had arrived on the scene to leave
the theater's premises. Explain to me how this incident is literally still playing out
and a reporter shows up? How do you how do you? How do
you think? As as thinly staffed as newsrooms are. Right now you're telling
me, well, this is literally going on, and all of Barbara's attention
is apparently on you know him in this disagreement with you know people at the
theater. How a reporter shows up to that theater in what fifteen minutes?
I mean how long? This was probably fifteen minutes. Because my theory is
Barbara one of his cohorts called this dude or maybe posted something out there on
social media at the dude. I don't know the details of it, but
I had not seen that in previous reporting that a reporter had shown up and
also had to be basically, you know, informally trespassed out of there.
Did Barbara just call a reporter buddy and be like, it's happening, get
on down here, because you know, that would be in fitting with you
know people's theories myself included that you're having an incident that is not what it
is being portrayed to be or could have been more reasonably handled, and it's
now turned into a dog and pony show. And here we are the CEO
of amc adam Aron, not Aaron, just Aron, aar o n How
would you pronounce that they met last week and have a scheduled a follow up
meeting so that they can work on I don't know, apologizing to Barber and
groveling and AMC is gonna do better when in reality, you know, maybe
they didn't do anything. Again, I need to know the We don't know
the flow of the conversation. I'd be interested, but I do know a
reporter showed up in a few minutes, and that's kind of weird. Barbara
went on to say, quote, while I'm encouraged by our meeting, we
have a lot to consider. This isn't about William Barber, that is,
or one night in December. It's about the law and treating every man,
woman and child who has a disability with compassion and dignity. And then he
goes on to say this quote and being assured that every place will accommodate me
carefully. It's about recognizing that whatever you do to the least of these,
you do to me. I mean, just the ego and the victimhood on
this dude is breathtaking, but it's not accommodating carefully. It's reasonably accommodating.
So you know that is why probably something people should notice the difference of and
at least the reporter put it in quotes here to draw attention to that that
is his quote, because even the reporter realized that that is not how the
law reads, which is kind of important. Also, I got a question.
So he's got I guess the latest project or group or whatever, because
he posted a sign at the presser with you know, his website and his
text request text world whatever this number is, and the groups called breach repairers.
I'm not familiar that breach repairers, Like you've breached the wall? Breach
repairers? What is that? Is that? A January sixth thing? Like?
I feel like that would be a name for an organization of people who
are concerned about Southern illegal crossings. Right, it sounds like a company you
call it like your your basement is flooded or so. Oh yeah, yeah,
call breach repairs and use promo code ross for some reason. Yeah,
no, it does. It sounds like yeah, it sounds like a foundation
company or SOLF the breach repairs. I don't know. Man. Oh,
but that is where we sit, all right, speaking of breaching. Uh,
Dallas cowboys breaching the offensive lines of their opponents. Yeah, they'll be
able to keep it up. We'll find out everybody's happy. Well, okay,
now that the Eagles apparently don't care anymore, that's good for you know.
What the heck happened to them? Wow? That was that was something
surprising to say the least. Would you like to be a Falcons? You
guys played green Bay? Right? Yeah? Green Bay? Yeah, green
Bay four thirty games and you see what they're doing with the Saturday night game.
That's what. Yeah, the Peacock, I guess what I'll stop watching.
I mean if they do that, If they if somebody thinks I'm going
to go subscribe to Peacock just to watch the football, not gonna happen.
So well, that was all. There's gonna be a lot of here,
right, No, that was Prime, Yeah, it was. It was
nice streaming. Yeah, yeah, but I have Prime. Yeah, I
guess I saw people speculating that by putting the Chiefs game there, so they
get swifties to subscribe. Oh yeah, probably why it's gonna happen. Yeah.
And then so far Arthur Smith and let's let's do the four. Let
me do the forecast. I want to know what you thought about that last
play from the Saints at the goal line. Today. Yes, today we
should be a good shape, seeing some cloud we should have sunshine, especially
later close to fifty. Things are really going to go downhill toward tomorrow morning
though wind advisories. There's rain, there's wind, thunderstorms on the forecast tomorrow
that could be flooding, that could be strong two severe storms, and even
outside of thunderstorms, this storm system is so strong and dynamic, we could
have winds gusting forty plus miles per hour. Most of this weather will settle
down into tomorrow evening, leaving us with sunshine for Wednesday and Thursday highs in
the fifties. So really it's tomorrow we're gonna get the rain and the thunderstorms,
and I think as we go through the latter part of the day things
will taper off. But I won't be surprised if we get some spotty power
outages, maybe not even because of the thunderstorms that produced strong winds that could
be but also the winds that could gust even outside of storms forty plus miles
per hour. So very very rough day tomorrow for most of us, if
not all of us. All Right, So you want to know, all
right, So for those who don't know, it was Saints were beating the
crap out of Atlanta. It was like forty one seventeen or whatever. And
they lined up and they're in the you know, there's there's no time.
Yeah, they're in the victory there, so all they got to do is
take a knee. But Jameis Winston, I guess, called an audible in
the huddle, and let who is it? Williams the running back busted for
his score, and the Falcon, the Falcons coach who doesn't have to worry
about it anymore. He lost his crap on on the Saints coach, Get
over it. I you know what, I can't tell you the number of
times where an NFL team could have easily scored and covered somebody's bet and then
just took the knee at like the half yard lines, and yeah, just
lose your damn mind. That's why I like college. They're just gonna score
till they're done scoring. Yeah, that's what I'd say. Score stop them.
If you don't want them to score, stop them. Yeah, pretty
simple. It's not like it was a game changer, but whatever, All
right, Well, Smith can think about it since he's got a lot of
free time now because yep, they fired him already. But there you go.
All right, we'll talk for the next hour, Thank you, sir,
and we will be right back hang on, thank you. Casey is
on ninety four to w PTI and the Triad and one six one FM Talk
and the Triangle. All right, seven fifty four here on the CaCO Day
Radio program. One other thing real quick on this plane with the door missing
that Bob found, Yeah, Bob, sure, apparently the cockpit voice recorder
was accidentally taped over. What how does that even? How do you have
a system that allows that to happen? I guess would be my question,
Like, okay, so something really big happen, something weird happened here.
So you think there's more to Bob, they're not, Come on, the
dude's name is Bob. They're not given any information at all. It was
this stupid door, the vaultful planet. Oh, by the way, there's
no audio from the please like I fully expected it to land in Jeffrey Epstein
to be hanging from the ceiling right, Look at what he did? You
know we were going down? He's gonna end it all? How do you
have a cockpit voice, right, He's like, that's what you build out
in these planes, right, so that if a plane literally gets blown to
smitherings by a missile. Remember when the Rush Russian forces in Ukraine shot down
that airliner a few years ago. They found the box, They found the
box and they got shot down with a missile. Yes, something crazy happened.
They were like, oh my god, the ark of the Covenant flew
out the plane. What is going on? Man, I'm telling you there's
something. They should just be happy that this is this happened over Portland and
the door didn't hit a homeless person. Right, that's that, right.
There is enough of like, oh my gosh, look what happened, you
know, good news kind of portion of it. But now you've got Bob
with no you know, no just Bob like you know, like he share,
and the cockpit voice recorder got taped over what it was the co pilot
making a mixtape grab the I don't understand how that happens. Plus, there's
not just one point on a plane. There's not just one recorder or a
retention system. Nor is there necessarily a single box on some planes. I
don't know on this on the on this particular plane what the setup is.
But those are intentionally made recoverable and bulletproof, and somebody taped over it,
you know, like it's back in the day, and uh, you know
when you used to have to tape programs with VHS. I don't know,
do you guys do that? Ross Did you have like a VHS taping schedule
back in the day. I remember there were a few shows in like where
we had it was all set to record, all on its own, do
its own thing that my mom would tape and like if one of us dumb
kids like, ah, I'm gonna tape something else on it, she'd lose
your crap. Yeah, we had a few of those tapes, so a
few of them we couldn't tape over. It was like, do not tape
over First Blood and do not tape over WrestleMania three. Those are the rules.
I mean I would I would throw you out of the house. Like
birthday parties, don't care. Yeah whatever, they'll have another one, but
probably don't tape over Sly just this whole thing is weird. Cockpit voice recorder
taped over, dude, I don't know. Maybe it's just because we're so
broken. We don't believe anything like anything at all anymore with anything have you
know that we're told by the government, So immediately I agree, Bob,
just Bob and taping over the voice recorder with deep suspicion. So so there's
that, alright, seven fifty eight CaCO Day Radio program, James Bond in
the news. And it's not necessarily for a good reason. Although I'm going
to revoke James Bond moniker off of Purse Brosnan's name. I think we got
to take that back because James James Bond wouldn't let this happen and Brosman did.
So we'll get to that. And there's a pretty crazy story about a
dude who was arrested by the Wake Forest Police for attempting to solicit murder.
And the story that got us to that point kind of interesting. So I'll
share that coming up on the cac O Day Radio program. All right,
good going and everybody, and welcome our number three given things rolling here on
the CaCO Day Radio program. Who do do? All? Right? Well?
That is wow? That is who saw that coming? So what is
this? Zoya? Let's see here, man, I'll not be able to
pronounce this all right, Zoya Kona Volova ConA Vilova, I guess maybe I
did, all right. So she was the head of what would kind of
be like I don't want to say PBS, but like public the public broadcasting,
but the public brocket. Well, our public broadcasting here can be basically
used for political purposes, but in Russia it's just straight up what it is,
right. So if you're running the public broadcasting operation and you are the
they don't call it the president, what they refer to as the chief editor
or whatever, I guess would be your title, you know, under Putin,
basically your reporters and everyone probably need to be kissing his behind, right,
That's the expectation, and that's really what they've been. However, recently
they have started to push back on Putin and what's going on in Ukraine,
probably in response to a lot of really ticked off Russian parents. So heard
her husband apparently accidentally ate some poison over the weekend. So just sitting around
the house, you know, doing the couple stuff and accidentally both a poison.
They think that's the That is the theory ironically being reported by the organization
which she ran and other media outlets her and her fifty two year old husband
Andre, according to reports, were found dead in their bedroom, having died
twenty four hours prior and appearing to be poisoned by an unknown substance. They
said that there was a plastic bag with a powdery substance nearby. Some are
speculating that it was planted drugs or something, just because everything's going on.
But man, it's always one of two things, isn't it. Like if
you're Putin's henchman, don't you feel like if everyone falls out a window or
eats poison, Like, eventually people are gonna start to notice a pattern,
because I feel like I'm noticing a pattern, and I think others have as
well, And I'm just like, how can you? You can't mix it
up? Didn't they grease the one guy where they sabotaged his plane? Remember
I think they sabotaged the one dude's playing Remember that plane crash when they were
going I think they were going to discuss what was going on with the y
with the war. That isn't that the guy who like tried to do the
coup? But then like like reverse yeah, yeah yeah, and they're like,
ah, we'll cut all this stuff on your plane here like that.
At least they broke out of the mold there. But come on, man,
it's always if it's always poison or always uh you know, add windows
in the twenty third floor office that you had no reason to be in,
then I don't know that you're hiding it real well if you fell out on
the plane window the door. Look, look what's happening. Oh my god,
Bob found him. Oh wait, what's Bob doing in Russia? I
have some Bob quai. I got so many Bob questions. Man, hey,
hold on, they people are sending me Bob stuff now, Oh it's
just Bob me. There's already Bob memes. Oh the internet is undefeated,
man, Yeah, I believe it or not. Ross, We're not the
only one skeptical of Bob. The question is will the media hunt him down
like a dog like they did that forklift driver made the Pelosi meme? Or
since he's probably a progressive school teacher in Portland, they're gonna leave him be.
Don't know? All right, check this story out though, this is
this whole thing is heartbreaking all around, man, But still still, according
to wake for Police, Rhett Barlow is the guy's name who actually is from
Raleigh, but he was arrested by I guess he was in wake Forest.
Was arrested by Wake Force Police and they were assisted by the US Army Criminal
Investigation Division. So what is that. I guess he's active duty. Is
that what that means? I guess that's what that means. All right,
But here's the story. So he was arrested for attempting to solicit attempting to
hire a hit man. So he tried to hire a hit man. I
don't know if he went to hipman dot com or you know, fell into
that trap or whatever, but whatever happened, they were on to him and
so when he attempted to finalize the transaction, they made the arrest. He
wanted to murder a guy by the name of Donald Calder Junior. So here's
why Calder who in twenty sixteen, he was driving a dump truck that was
towing a Bobcat excavator on Capitol Boulevard in wake Forest. So yeah, so
it happened up in wake Forest and in the in the traffic, according to
police, called her became distracted. This is from the initial investigation, and
during that time he was distracted driving this really heavy piece of equipment dump truck
with a bobcat attached, did failed to stop and slammed directly into the back
of a woman's woman's car and killed her. The woman in this case was
the man who was just arrested. Rhet Barlow was his mother. And this
again, this happened back in twenty sixteen. This guy not with malice,
but according to police, appeared to be distracted and caused the death of his
mom, Michelle. Michelle Barlow was a high school English teacher at Wake Forest
in wake Forest, I guess, at the high school there. So,
yeah, that's the dude he wanted to have killed, you know, eight
years after the death of his mother, and it just obvious. It's obviously
he was stewing on this man, which I guess I understand that. But
eight years later, like I guess, I'm gonna get a hint. Man,
that's just crazy dude. So anyway, he's being held on one million
dollar bond and they'll go from there. But yeah, like I said,
it was because you're sympathetic to the point where like, like I can understand
if he thought justice wasn't done in the death of his mom, But it's
just like eight years later. I guess maybe it's just because he had to
get older. He doesn't look that old. But again, I don't know
where he tried to get the hip man. But if you think you're talking
to a hint man, you're probably not the time to remember. I guess
if you take to the internet for vengeance, all right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Uh, yeah, we'll get to
this right here. The Washington Post man, did they add some numbers come
out over the weekend going into the weekend. I don't I don't know what
you do there, if if the washing if these numbers and I'm gonna share
them with you here in a moment or be believed, like, do we
live in a do we live in a timeline where the Washington Post becomes I
guess the first big big paper to just collapse maybe, And you know,
maybe some people would celebrate that, others would not. I think that having
a journalistic outlet in DC is really important. I wish that they would cover
it in a fair manner and then maybe I could root for their survival.
But you know the alternative is, uh, you know, you lose a
few of these and you got less people trying to figure out what the politicians
are up to. And you know, if only they were even even handed
in the way that they attempted to do it. So we'll share those details
here in just a few minutes on the CaCO Day radio programs one O six
one FM, Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four five w PTI
and the Triad. A this is this is I want to say it's a
dumb story because it was twenty thousand dollars thing that got stolen there. But
I'm just wondering, Uh, police, Uh, let's see here, please
say a A twenty thousand dollars wood chipper was stolen from the Wesley Chapel United
Methodist Church the eighteen thousand. Then they described the wood schipper, and yeah,
like, don't steal from church? Why why do you guys have a
twenty thousand dollars wood schipper at the church. What's going? What's what's that
for? I've just I have questions about that, Like, I look,
I understand the church, you know, property may have, but to have
a twenty thousand dollars wood shipper, is that just for branches like I don't
know. I'm not It's what is this a nominations Methodist? I don't I
don't know, right, I've never I've been to a lot of different churches,
and I never saw a giant wood schipper. There is that to scare
of the kids. I was raised Catholic, so I understand the you know,
don't do this or this mentality. But is that like a visual aid?
Right? This pastor get up there and be like, ah, if
you go do something and then they bring out like that, whether it's crash
test dummies or whatever, and they're like, ah, this is you,
this is you on sin I mean, it would be a very striking visual
aid. I don't know, although I think this is probably the church Bob
goes to. I think we could. I believe that. All right,
let's go have a call on the oh on our Hitman story. All right,
perfect, let's do this, Julia, what's up? Good morning?
I just I wanted to give you a call to follow up on the story
you just were talking about with Ritt Burlow of Raleigh that was arrested. I
think what the news is not telling the rest of the story is and you
have to dig to find this information is the dump truck driver that killed his
mom. There was a eyewitness that got behind that dump truck in Cherry followed
him for an hour because he was so upset. He was on the phone
with nine to one one telling nine to one one somebody needed to stop this
guy because he was going to kill somebody. He would flying at high rates
of speed, reckless, weaving all over the road, and not one single
he called the highway patrol called nine one one, nothing and he passed one
highway patrolman, hung his arms out the window waving, tried to get his
attention to follow the dump truck driver. He followed him all the way to
Capitol Boulevard and then he ended up killing not Rent didn't. But this this
witness on the phone, and they've got those nine one one calls, but
the news media doesn't tell you that. I mean, it still doesn't justify
him hiring a hit man. I mean I don't. I can't you know
nothing about that as life, but from Carrie to get from Carrie to waste
worst on Wake, Yeah that was as Yeah. I cringed thinking about making
that drive, just because I know how terrible it's going to be, right,
because yeah, point A to point B there, Yeah, they and
in the report they said distracted and also sleep he was exhausted. Well,
well he might be a distracted might be exhausted. But the thing that's so
so tragic is there was a citizen that was trying to get law enforcement to
stop this guy, and nobody stopped him. And he kept telling them on
the nine to one one dispatch calls that he was going to kill somebody.
And I've done that myself personally. I've actually been behind a distracted driver coming
home late from work at Leham wake Forest on Highway ninety eight and followed drivers
that were weaving. They'd go thirty miles an hour going over hills on Highway
ninety eight, and then they'd be doing that seventy miles an hour. And
I've actually followed them until the highway patrol got them and they were you assume,
oh, they're drunk driver, but they were actually just you know,
exhausted and three to five. But it's just as dangerous as a drunk driver.
But I saw a guy. I saw a guy, and I was
in Greensboro on Wendover and the dude was in he was in the opposite lane
going the wrong way at like seven o'clock. Men, and they were there
were drivers trying to literally stop him. So it's easy what you see out
there. But yeah, the whole thing is the whole thing's tragic. So
everything's tragic and it it just there's nothing. This is total, a total
tragedy. But I do get so irritated with the media because they feed you
just what they want you to know, because they're not going to put the
true, you know, all the information out there for you to understand the
scope of the whole story. They left that completely out of what they're feeding
to you in the news media. Well that's it's out there. You can
find all that. Yeah, that's this is this is why we do what
we do. I'm glad you called this morning so folks have a better understanding.
So all right, all right, thank you and have a great day
you too. Thank you so again. And uh, you know, and
that just adds to this impression. I get that this this this guy's just
been stewing on this. Especially when you get all you know, you get
more context how robbed of justice and individual who thinks they are And I'm telling
you this is this story is something that bears thinking about in the context of
when you see people who are in cities where they basically decided that policing man
that's that's overrated. Well, the eventuality is then people go, well,
if I can't do this, then I'm going to have to do it for
myself, and then you get messy situations. That's what I fear. Doesn't
justify it, but it definitely is a contributing factor and something to think about.
Lynn, go right ahead. Yeah, I just commenting on the Methodist
Church widchipper. My church and I specifically have worked with the Methodist Church in
disaster relief around the state and around the region. So as we're doing that,
Yes, it's very significant to have a woodchipper there with you. Yeah,
but you know, I don't know that there was a hurricane that just
went through, so you know, no, it's not not that just went
not that just went through. But I'm just saying, yeah, there you
have. You know, that would be the reason why they have a right
woodship of that costs that much to be able to take with him around the
region. Yeah. Well, and it's I'm slightly tongue in cheeks, sir,
just because it's it's just an odd story. You're like, you wait,
you guys had a twenty thousand dollars wood shipper? What's going on with
that? So? All right, well, uh yeah, no, Look,
there's obviously there's a lot of reasons why woodchipper. I don't know that
I necessarily buy one if he didn't need it on the regular, But if
they, I guess the church is using it on the regular buying that I
don't know who knows. But if I went over to Ross's house today and
Ross had a twenty thousand dollars industrial sized wood shipper just chilling, and I
know he's not in the woodship or business, I'm I'm I'm gonna wonder,
right, you know, it's pretty extravagant spend for something you may use like
once year, And I might have some questions on why he has a wood
chipper out near the hinge, and I would explain it to you. Just
stand over there, yes, right over here, right, it's right there.
You just where the X is right next to the woodship. What's that?
Oh? Okay, so that's all that's all? But yes, no,
there's probably it's probably perfectly reasonable. It's just you just don't expect all
those words in that order. So that's good, dude, the Bob,
the Bob conspiracy theory. I love that that has kicked off in my email.
Hey man, you just gotta sometimes you gotta look at the stories and
go what doesn't what's not right here? What sounds off? And you know
you start tugging at that fabric. That's that's great journalism right there. And
then it wasn't Bob. It was b O b remember them smart talk all
day ninety four or five w pt I and the Triad and six one FM
talk in the Triangle. So what do you do? You just Rea like,
oh, I accidentally bought this. I need something else. No,
I mean it was a gift card, so I just uninstalled. Okay.
Ross played a game he hadn't played before over the weekend and was explaining to
me, yeah, the game of the year last year. Oh yeah,
what is it? Balder Boulders Boulders Gate three? Okay, all right,
And I couldn't stand it because there's some even though if you don't with with
Ross, there's certain avenues of nerdom that you that you reject. Like my
Lord of the Rings asked Ross about Lord of the rings. I've tried to
watch it and I fall asleep every time. Yeah. So, And the
other things, the amount of people throughout the years, uh that have asked
me to play D and D Dungeons and Dragons, like, oh, you
love it. It's just I can't even catch the number is so high,
and I trying to explain them that I don't like D and D. I've
I've played it once and I hated it. So but this is the video
game, and it's and so. But the problem is is that it plays
like D and D is, which likes the combat. Right, So it's
not you, it's not your skills manipulating buttons like Mortal Kombat. Right,
we have to hit there. Now it's turned something, which I just it's
so long, boring and tedious. I just can't stand it. So it's
like the rest of the game is a ten out of ten. The graphics,
the story, the conversations, the decisions, it's funny, it made
me laugh. That stuff is great. But then as soon as the combat
would start, I'm like, oh not again, Like I was dreading it.
I was dreading walking into a room where I had to fight, because
like the game comes to a stop and you have twenty thirty forty minutes of
like dice rolling trying to get one one, you know, slice into an
orc or something stupid. I'm like, I can't do it anymore. I
just can't do it. I can't and the orcs are just willing to wait.
Yeah, my turn to hitch. Ye can't stand it. It's like
you love it, I'm happy for you. I just can't do it.
It's like the undoing of the British military during the American Revolution, right because
they wanted to panel it right, like in lines and like we're no,
I'm gonna hide by this tree and shoot you when you're not living. Yeah,
we're gonna be other the woods. You're not gonna see us, but
you're gonna quickly find out we're here. Oh man, that sucks. You
know what all sucks? Uh? Washington Post is twenty twenty three. Man,
all right, So just a couple stats. According to a report from
over the weekend, the Washington Post is currently losing one hundred million dollars a
year. But that isn't even the real problem, if I mean, it
is a problem, but there's a bigger problem. The Washington Post reportedly lost
half of their online engagement in twenty twenty three, So what had been a
a decline because obviously that's you know, newspapers are in this uh this place
now where they've never really been able to figure out digitally how to you know,
keep things steady. They're having to reinvent and do things. And I
get that. But the Washington Post was they were one of the more successful
uh uh sellers of subscriptions online subscriptions. They were them in the New York
Times, uh and uh yeah, those two I think were We're the two
that actually were able to really build those numbers up. But then they lost
half of their engagement and that's both paid and unpaid, where it's not unpaid
because they're showing you ads. Half half the readership just went nah, I'm
out. So this this right here. If you're Jeff Bezos, billionaire Bezos,
I mean, you've got the you got the money to keep it trucking.
But at what point do you go this ain't it? And I don't
know, And you know, we can talk about all the reasons that this
came to pass, but ultimately they're not doing themselves any favors with the way
that they handle stuff like, first and foremost your fact Chuck over there is
a stone cold idiot. All of the reporting, even the Pulitzer Prize when
in reporting that the Washington Post did about Trump, the Pulitzer Prize winning stuff
has all been debunked, right, Big Russia hoak stuff. And then with
the FISO manipulation where Washington Post was on the other side of that, and
then they found out, we found out that they knew the leaked the James
Commey leaks, which were fed directly to reporters there. It's not I'm not
surprised by it. I guess would it would be the best way to describe
it. But I didn't realize it was that bad. It was half of
your engagement online, which is the space in which you're trying to grow.
That's tough man, all right. So Pierce Brosden, let me flip over
this real quick. I feel like we're going to have to revoke his use
of the James Bond moniker. So Brosnen apparently went to Yellowstone. Okay,
went over to Yellowstone. And you know Yellowstone even though most people think of
it during the summer, but during the winter there's a lot going on.
There a lot of snowmobiling in the park, which is amazing that the various
pass in the areas you can go there and still you know, people live
and work within the park in Mammoth Hot Springs, which is the main segment
there, and that's where Pierce Brosnan was. And if you've ever been to
Mammoth Hot Springs you know that they have As you're sitting in town, you
look, they have that white Stone Geyser Hot Springs thing right on the edge
of town. You know, it's very cool to look at, and he
decided he wanted to get a little closer. So in Yellowstone, if you're
in a marked path area and you get off that, they don't screw around
at all. And so if you're in and around Geyser's Hot Springs things like
that. You've been to Yellowstone, you know how it is. They have
very specific walkways. And it's because people are dumb, not just the animals,
but it's the stupidity of people. The people who get killed hot footing,
which is a thing that has happened where they find a hot spring it's
about one hundred degrees. They think, ah, this is basically a hot
tub. They get in there. What they fail to realize is that,
you know, much like the geysers erupt on a schedule, a lot of
these hot springs on you know, after about an hour or every three hours
or whatever it is, they'll get in usion of much hotter water. So
even though you tested the water, which you didn't realize is there's going to
be an eruption of two hundred degree water and it's going to fill that thing
up and it's end. By then you're just screwed man, and people will
fall into him. This happened at mud Pots a few times. So what
does Brosenen do? I don't know if he thought, Hey, I'm Pierce
brosen I'll do whatever. But he decided he was going to walk up close
to the hot springs, the shelved hot springs there, and you know,
doing that Ian Mammoth is also interesting because that's where all of the law enforcement
Park Service folks live. That's where all the housing is there. So like
that's where my uncle lived when he was a criminal investigator for the park right
there. So you're doing it in front of all the people who are there
to stop you from doing it. So he's quickly noticed and they go over
and they literally, you know, they pull him off and they cite him
and he has to actually go to court. Why over it? They it's
not a small thing. But I'm like, you're James Bond man, like
couldn't get away from that. I just you know, whatever, But just
a reminder that, yeah, probably need to stay on the path. Let's
see here and just at Mammoth Hot Springs. Fun fact, twenty people have
died there in the you know, more recent park history for going off and
then getting somewhere. And literally also, the fumes can can overtake you.
So if the animals aren't killing you, your own stupidity will. And now,
Pierce Brosnan is a cautionary tale. All right, eight forty four raced
agic from the Weather Channel and standing, why dude, James Bond arrested for
getting off the path in Yellowstone Man, huh, don't do that? Don't
do that? Yeah, I got a question, I got a question.
Yeah, it's just getting weird. Now. Did you hear this story about
the plane where the door just sucked up off right and they had to like
I did, and then they were looking for the door and then then They're
like, ah, they found the door in Bob's yard, and have you
heard any of this? I heard about the plane the door coming off.
I have not heard about Bob's yard though. Okay, so they like but
they're just like, is Bob and that's where? So just Bob, you
know, like he's like he share or something. He's Oprah, just Bob,
and uh it was in Bob's yard, Thank you, Bob. The
press conference was so weird because they made a point to like reiterate that it's
just Bob or not. Yeah, that's like that's a witness protection old mobster,
right, Like why why would you not want people to know you found
the door? I have no idea. I'm suspensed called them Bob not like
is it like mister Bob or no? No, maybe just straight up Bob.
And she even the NTSB lady even said just Bob, right, like,
so I want to know, I like, what's up with Bob?
That's suspicion. Yeah, that is a little suspicious. Yeah, the I'm
sorry, what's that ross which audio? Oh? Yeah, I'm sorry yes
and oh yeah. So that and they announced that the the cockpit voice recorder
was quote accidentally taped over. How is that going on? I don't know,
man, But between that and then what we remember ten foot aliens in
the malls of Miami, that something's going on. Maybe Bob was involved in
all of it. Who knows, all right, So what I need from
you is, you know, do what you do with the weather. And
then Ross needs eight feet of lake effects snow in the Buffalo area right weekend,
So work on that as well. He may get what he wishes for.
I don't know if it's gonna be this weekend, though I'm here.
We're gonna get a bunch of rain, We're gonna have wind. We got
a wind advisory that'll kick in after a pretty decent day today. It's a
mid high level overcast, but some more sun especially later, especially west close
to fifty today. That rain will start coming in toward tomorrow morning. Tomorrow
looks rainy, maybe even a few thunderstorms in the afternoon. Even heavier rainfall
could have a flood threat. And with the winds gusting, maybe forty plus
can have some problems with some spotty power outages too, So we'll have to
be on the lookout for not only gusty winds outside of thunderstorms, but there
is also a slight to enhanced risk of severe weather central and eastern North Carolina
tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, So a multifaceted storm system coming in. Subdi'll
be back by Wednesday. Thursday. We'll get more wet weather as we look
ahead toward Friday, but again we're not going to be threatened by any ice
or anything like that in the mountains Tonight. There are some winter weather or
advisories for maybe a brief period of freezing rain. Okay, all right,
thank you sir, appreciate it, and welcome back and chat with Jeff Bellinger.

all right, thank you, Jeff, appreciate it. Okay, good
day. All right, there you go, Jeff Fellinger, Bloomberg News joining
us. This story is so crazy, I don't even know which one to
try to. I'll probably to do that other one tomorrow. Let me do
this ross. You see the video of the dude going in and assaulting the
taco bell worker over the weekend. It was making the round. Okay,
So this dude went into he goes to Taco Bell and comes in already he's
already in an eleven, right, And it's just like some it looks like
just some old random dude, right, and I'm pointing out his age because
that's going to be important here. So he rolls into the Taco Bell starts
screaming at the guy at the front counter that the Taco Bell destroyed his microwave
and he's demanding that they buy him a new microwave. So, by the
way, let me get the perfunctory wow. Usually they destroy your toilet joke
in there because everyone else did. Now we don't have to have somebody call
and say that. All right, So here's what happened. And then he's
he's, he's, you know, he's yelling at the clerk and then he's
not getting what he wants, I guess a new microwave. So he slaps
the dude and then a manager comes out and he goes off on both of
them, and then eventually there you go. All right, So now you're
wondering, how did Taco Bell destroy this man's appliances? You know how?
You know? Taco Bell wraps burritos in some wrapping that may have metal in
it. Right, you already know where this is going. Right. Some
of the wrappers are that thin kind of metallic wrapping, which is great for
keeping things hot, hotter than standard paper wrapping, but also is really dumb
to put in a microwave, And I thought we all knew this, right,
do we not know that metal? You know, like if you wrap
something in tinfoil, it can't go in the microwave? Or is this because
this dude looks like he's been on the earth easy sixty years. I think
he's got I can't tell the jacket. It looks like a Vietnam War vet
jacket, so probably a little longer than that. And he went, so
yeah, then he takes I guess he gets his burrito, goes home.
Besides he's going to nukid and his microwave exploded. So a reminder, please
don't do that. I think the one where people do get started russ.
When's the last time you put something metallic in a microwave? Like when you're
eight or never? Yeah, I think the like a Chinese takeout box when
I was a young might have got me because they had a little metal handles
on there, but some of them aren't actually metal, so you probably should
still take him off. But yeah, so instead of a new microwave,
