WEBVTT

1
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:43.200
All right, good morning everybody,
and welcome. It is Friday. It's

2
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.079
it's two for Friday. Two for
do something we haven't done in a while.

3
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:56.039
We're gonna have not one but two
guests. Uh one you probably know.

4
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.479
At eight oh five, Pete Calendar
will join us. And boy,

5
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.879
what a week, man, what
a week it is or has been.

6
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:12.959
Where's I guess technically still is big
old fat, thirty billion dollars budget.

7
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.719
We all get to fun with our
taxes. That'll be fun. That's good.

8
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.719
Everybody's miserable, so I guess they
would say, well, that's a

9
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.480
good agreement. They're all a bunch
of treacherous scum. The governor off,

10
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.280
if you just do this, I'll
be nice. And he's just been a

11
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.000
piece of garbage in every tag or
every tweet i've seen him, him put

12
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.959
out or his people. I didn't
see that tagged RC. But there are

13
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:49.959
things too. Oh and the lawmakers, in addition to the budget thing,

14
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.319
yesterday they passed they passed a law
saying that you'll have to have if you're

15
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:02.599
a porn site, you're gonna have
to require age verification. Louisiana so far

16
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.479
is the only one to actually pass
that and I want to say that they

17
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.919
talked to some of the adult websites
and they said they saw an eighty percent

18
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.479
of reduction of people coming in the
Louisiana because, believe it or not,

19
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:29.240
people don't want a porn site to
have all of their identification, which I

20
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.240
think is part of the reason you
do it right if you're a lawmaker who

21
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:42.280
wants to find yet another way to
inject yourself into something. So we got

22
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:52.360
that and look, it's petty,
but it was petty getting petty, Okay,

23
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:57.039
so petty on petty violence, I
don't mind. Are you aware of

24
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.360
what happened to Ross's representative? This
is your dude, by the way,

25
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.680
he represents your your little slice of
heaven up there and Wake Forest, so

26
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:15.800
you should be outraged. He's a
moon Beth though, So you have to

27
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.240
know how this started, right,
That's that's going to be important context here.

28
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:35.080
So Wake Forest Representative Terrence Everett said
he was on the House floor waiting

29
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:40.400
to vote on the budget when he
was informed that somebody was in his office

30
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:51.840
box and all of his stuff up. So they're boxing everything in his office.

31
00:03:51.960 --> 00:04:01.840
Why because the speaker or whomever decides
these things, I mean look,

32
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.960
Tim Moore and Philburger, those are
the two people running North Carolina. Just

33
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:14.960
know this also as signs offices.
And they decided that his office was not

34
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.519
the office he needed. Instead,
the office that he needed was in the

35
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:29.439
basement in a storage closet. It's
a rather big space. I will say

36
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:42.920
that judgment by the photo here the
storage closet. Yes. Representative Terrence Everett,

37
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.240
a Democrats, said he was on
the House floor waiting to vote when

38
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.160
someone boxed up all the stuff in
his old office building. Janitor said they

39
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:55.160
were told to clean out the supply
room this morning. Everett then got a

40
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.519
letter from Tim Moore telling him the
move was for his own good, all

41
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:01.639
right, And everyone was like,
oh, it's so petty. It's so

42
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.519
petty. I want you to understand
that if you read ever, it's Timeline

43
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:13.319
he's talking. He was running this
whole tax Tim Moore's doing taxpayer funded orgies

44
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.240
and was running around trying to get
district attorneys to dig into it. So

45
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:24.680
basically to do the political hit jobs, all the crap that they were doing

46
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.199
to Trump, he was trying to
execute on a local level. You don't

47
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.000
have to like Tim More, you
don't have to like the fact that the

48
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.600
you know, the woman he was
connoodling with is separated from her husband.

49
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:46.399
We read the damn thing. It's
messy as it's messy as messy gets.

50
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:53.800
But a single allegation from a sperned
lover, a guy who's who's really upset,

51
00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:00.519
even if even if he's right,
is not. That's not how you

52
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.560
move mountains to have major, highly
publicized investigate. He wanted it to.

53
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:11.240
This was a way to handicap Tin
Moore, or attempt to if you got

54
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.040
some other evidence, some video emerges, God, don't send it to me.

55
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.720
But if it emerges all of that
then fine. But trying to get

56
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.399
this thing that you knew that all
of your moonbat media buddies would run around

57
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:27.759
and it would be the only story
they would cover because of this pure salacious

58
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.079
nature of it. No, you're
being petty. It's politicized garbage. So

59
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:39.279
you belong where the garbage used to
be. I told you I'm sick of

60
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.959
everybody. I don't want to hear
anyone whine in about it. You want

61
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.560
to play this game, you want
to play in the mud with everybody else,

62
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.079
then you gotta understand who's the bigger
kid when it comes to hurling that

63
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.959
mud ball, right when you play
dodgeball, wasn't there always one kid You're

64
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.360
like, please, God, don't
throw at me? Right, because the

65
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.879
kid was like a minute away from
signing a Yankees contract. I remember the

66
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.480
kid, Doyle, Oh Doyle really
yeah, throw it at my head.

67
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.199
He'd be like, oh Doyle rules
every single time. Wow. Yeah,

68
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.600
he had a high opinion of him. Was super fast though. I would

69
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.839
push girls in the way, free
equality, right, big, yeah,

70
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:29.759
you're not misogynistic, that's right,
not me. So they moved him to

71
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:35.199
the base. But can you,
I mean, can you even well up

72
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:41.759
a tear? All? Right?
By the way, I have received all

73
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:51.000
of your all of your all of
your memes of a certain red stapler having

74
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:59.000
dude who got himself moved to the
basement. I'm on it got all the

75
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.399
office based stuff, thank you.
But it is funny. It's like the

76
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.199
first thing that pops in that pop, first thing that popped into my mind

77
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.199
too. Did they give him that? You know? I gotta tell you,

78
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.199
man, if Tim Moore had had
a red stapler placed on his desk

79
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.720
in the closet in the basement that
he had never had before, I would

80
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.240
be busting a gut this morning,
because then the inevitability as you got the

81
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.480
what's her bucket, van van van
hateful or whatever down in Apex. She

82
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.600
has a pretty big Twitter presence,
so she's on there. She's like,

83
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.440
we're just worth the adults in the
room, and we're trying to just do

84
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.320
what's best for everybody, and these
monsters keep doing this. Feel bad for

85
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:50.279
us, Send us ten dollars.
And she is absent. She is just

86
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.039
as unbearable as all of them.
You went out and you try to get

87
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.159
your political buddies to sit there and
do a salacious, high profile taxpayer fund.

88
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.960
Could you think of a more salacious, high profile story that the media

89
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:13.840
would not let go than taxpayer funded
orgies. That's that's an editor's dream,

90
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:22.720
man, or it would have been
when people still read their stuff. Ril

91
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.159
would probably have a whole panel that
the tax fayer and the taxpayer funded orgy

92
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:37.519
panel, just to break down the
latest happenings each and every evening. I

93
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.360
would argue that's a lot more playing
for keeps than making you go work out

94
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:50.080
of a windowless basement room. By
the way, first world problems go home.

95
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.440
You live in wake forest. How
about that. If you don't have

96
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:00.960
any votes, go home and work. Ross says, other building his mansions

97
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.399
up there. I'm sure you have
one and sun blotting out buildings, but

98
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.679
those are only near him. So
all right, sorry, that's how we

99
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.639
chose to start. And they voted
on the budget, so you know that

100
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.960
thing happened too. I guess that's
why I started that whole segment. All

101
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.559
right, now, I mentioned and
we'll get into that with Pete. We

102
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:30.919
got two guests, guests Numeral Dose
at seven o five Jennifer Martin from the

103
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.320
Merchants Association, or as you know
them, if you don't know who that

104
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:41.039
group is, they're the group that
annually put on the Raleigh Christmas Parade,

105
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:50.000
and as we have documented here on
the show with fake puppy snuffings, the

106
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.200
city has decided that I think you
need one of those. And then when

107
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.720
the when, the when the feedback
got too much, they all right,

108
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.080
you can have one, but we're
gonna put rules in that really make it

109
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:05.240
not a parade and destroy children's dreams. And so that back and forth is

110
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.639
going, and I hope the Merchants
Association we'll find out a little more.

111
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.639
I hope they're going to reject that
out of hand, because I don't know

112
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:18.039
how you do that unless you get
a bunch of Clydesdale's and then if they

113
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.120
spook, God help us. All
all right, six eighteen hang on,

114
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:28.440
Thank you. Casey is on ninety
four five w PTI in the Triad and

115
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:56.320
one oh six one FM Talk in
the Triangle. All right, good morning,

116
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:05.480
and welcome back. It is the
case O Day Radio program. Who

117
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.279
wants to Solve a mystery? Do
you guys want to solve a mystery on

118
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.639
this on this beautiful morn Oh I
need my button bar please, but I'm

119
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:22.240
sorry I had I'd made Ross turn
it down. The prize good do do

120
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:30.840
do do? All right, We're
gonna solve a mystery and it's called spot

121
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.639
the gaff. So Joe Biden had
a little whoopsie last night. I know

122
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:46.559
you're shocked. It's a word problem. So follow along. So the eighty

123
00:12:46.639 --> 00:13:00.360
year old president yesterday was hosting a
Galla award That's Nice at a at an

124
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.200
event and started rambling on about the
Gospel of Matthew and his Father and all

125
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:11.399
of that. The award ceremony,
which was taking place during the forty six

126
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:20.720
annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus institutes galla.
All right, did you retain that information?

127
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:28.600
Now, I'm gonna play what he
said. You tell me based on

128
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.440
that information? Where's the gaff?
My dad taught me? And I mean

129
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.480
it sincer that my dad, you
say everyone, everyone is entitled to be

130
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.679
treated with dignity and respect. Congressional
Black Hawk has embodies all those values.

131
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.320
Just think of the work we've done
together on civil rights, labor rights,

132
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:56.159
healthcare, education. Did you spot
the gaff? The President who's providing the

133
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.159
award? The word recipient I believe
was a woman who runs a let's see,

134
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.679
she's a kid. It's a Catholic
charity, so it's a it's a

135
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:11.759
sister, Norma Pimental who runs Catholic
Charities of the Rio Grand Valley, Okay.

136
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:20.720
As part of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus's
forty six annual gala, the President

137
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.519
said this zechoh, and my dad
taught me, and I mean it sinceer

138
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.919
that my dad you say everyone,
everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity

139
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:37.240
and respect. Congressional Black Caucus embodies
all those values. Just did you did

140
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:43.960
you pick up on it that time? Did you solve the mystery? So

141
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.720
I know it's early, and if
it is, I won't toy with you

142
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:56.679
any longer. He's at the Congressional
Hispanic Caucuses awards show and he keeps calling

143
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:07.919
him the Congressional Black Caucus. I'm
told they're two different things. That's what

144
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.399
I heard. And by the way, they're they're all a joke anyway,

145
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.559
because like they'll keep Republicans out of
it. Remember Tim, Remember Tim Scott?

146
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.279
Tim Scott? Yeah, I know
it was Tim Scott wanted to get

147
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.000
in there. And they're like,
nah, that new uh the guy from

148
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.799
Florida, the black representative from Florida. I can't remember his name, but

149
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.519
he's popping up everywhere. They're like, nah, because it's not it's they're

150
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.120
Democratic caucuses. But so with that
in mind, these are all your buddies,

151
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.960
and you can't tell the difference between
the Black Caucus and the Hispanic Caucus.

152
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.320
That's awkward, man, you know
what. I hope Twitter's right.

153
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:56.679
That's that's all I can take ipe. I hope Twitter's spot on. Man.

154
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.039
If you haven't seen what's trend in
this morning, boy, are you

155
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:07.799
gonna be surprised or you won't then
you will. Some of you will be

156
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:18.559
surprised immediately, others surprise will come
shortly thereafter, and then you'll have about

157
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.720
as seven years or so to get
over your surprise and then everything's fine.

158
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.919
Right, well, what what?
What? Hold on? There's more?

159
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:33.519
Oh no, all right, well
we'll get into that coming up. Casey

160
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:40.399
O Day Radio program. Hang on, keeping you connected. This is ninety

161
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.360
four five w PTI in the Triad
and one oh six one FM Talk in

162
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:59.919
the Triangle. All right, good
morning, it is six thirty five.

163
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:06.799
Glad to have you a long case
O Day radio program. For some reason,

164
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:15.359
trending right now is the Rapture.
So that's why I have big news.

165
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:23.599
I mean, you couldn't do it
at five fifty nine and to do

166
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:30.920
a whole show or what? What's
up with that? Man? I mean,

167
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:34.960
maybe it has started? What do
you? What do you? What

168
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.039
do you mean? Maybe you know
it's possible. I'm not. I'm not

169
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:45.039
in the air, so if it
had started, I mean, yeah,

170
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.200
I've got some bad news for you. Oh it's I'm not in the first

171
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:53.480
boarding group. Actually, I'm after
the show down. I'm flying up to

172
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:59.000
New York City for at two at
in the two o'clock hour. I'm gonna

173
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.920
gonna tell you what my flight is
when you psycho pass anyway, so I'm

174
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.079
flying up New York City. I
would be amazing if it happens there,

175
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:10.880
because I think if you're at thirty
thousand feet, you're like first in.

176
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.319
You know, it's like first when
you're like the first group to get on

177
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.039
the plane and there's luggage space,
right, that's how that works, right.

178
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.079
Yeah. I'm not sure how they
determined it was supposed to be today

179
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.200
either, no idea that was gonna
be my next question. How does Twitter?

180
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.960
No? All I know is I
woke up. I'm like, hey,

181
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.839
what's trending? Yep, Yeah,
there's the rapture over like nine thousand

182
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:32.519
posts yep. Like what's this about? Click it? I'm like, oh,

183
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.920
today is the day. I guess
they crunch some numbers, they figured

184
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:41.519
it out. I thought, no
man shall know. And it wasn't even

185
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.039
about the rapture, right, it
was just you know, when he's head

186
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.640
it, when he's coming back.
Wouldn't that thought? Didn't that kind of

187
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.240
say that in the Bible, no
man shall know? I'm not sure it

188
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.839
doesn't even like the rapture is not
in the Bible, is it No,

189
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.279
no, no, no, I'm
not talking. I just mean, you

190
00:18:55.319 --> 00:19:00.559
know, the beginning of the end, so to speak. Right, I

191
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.440
don't think the raptures in the Bible. The rapture was always confusing to me.

192
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.799
I thought that, like I thought
the rapture or something that showed up

193
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:11.759
around like the eighteen eighties or something
like like later on. Yeah, yeah,

194
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.799
yeah, I don't remember, but
you're right, it was something a

195
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.920
little later on. And like you
know, like a lot of things within

196
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:23.319
the Bible sometimes we try to create, you know, things are allegories.

197
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:30.200
It is open to interpretation. Yeah, like did did this thing? Did

198
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.839
the story in the Bible happen exactly
like that? Or is it the message

199
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.039
that was the you know, the
point and it you know, don't take

200
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:42.759
it literally, but yeah, to
know which date is? Although what I'm

201
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:48.440
trying to I was trying to think
about this, how many this is the

202
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.559
last day? Days have we done? Shows? So many of us,

203
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.079
so many It never pans out.
We just gotta come back to work the

204
00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:00.880
next day, Like twenty twelve,
back in the day, why two k's

205
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.720
and oldie but a goody, Yeah, twenty twelve. And then there was

206
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.960
another random one, and I don't
remember how that originally. Of course you

207
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:17.799
have Planet X. Oh deboo U, yes, where's our deboou listener to

208
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.799
update us on how that's going.
Remember how mad that dude he used to

209
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:26.759
get out of you? So pissed
off I couldn't read his emails on the

210
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.519
air. The Planet X day would
come around, and then the goal posts

211
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:36.079
and move. Oh, we forgot
to carry the decimal the one pm theorem.

212
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.119
It's actually in two weeks. It's
just that meme of Julia Roberts with

213
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:49.799
all the math going on overhead.
Ah, what if it's not the rapture

214
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:56.079
but it is Planet X today?
Do you get half credit? I'm not

215
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.599
sure how that works? All right, So I guess if at some point

216
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:08.920
you don't start ascending, probably shouldn't
have kept that twenty you found on the

217
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.960
on the floor in the store,
Okay, without at least trying, you

218
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:22.279
know, without asking do better?
I mean you can't, right, she

219
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:27.079
should have done better? I guess. Oh, anyway, it does.

220
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:33.680
It did make for cool TVs and
comic books and their TV shows and movies

221
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.880
and all that. And again I
think we tried to vision. Maybe maybe

222
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.799
somebody can help me out of the
cloth, as they say, help me

223
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.839
with the rapture? Is that an
allegory? Because Ross is right, that

224
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.759
wasn't a thing initially, and then
it was a thing, and I don't

225
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.440
really understand it. And frankly,
I don't want to go to Wikipedia for

226
00:21:52.519 --> 00:22:00.720
religious history, considering who enters most
of the Wikipedia stuff. But I and

227
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.200
if you believe, I don't want
to insult it. I'm just telling you

228
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.640
it wasn't you know, It wasn't
something that I had a lot of background

229
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:14.279
in growing up, but it was
a concept I was aware of, and

230
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:15.960
I guess I always chalked it up
to it's you know, it's an allegory

231
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:22.160
when if you try to match it
up with the way that you know his

232
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.920
return is is talked about within the
Bible to the extent that we know.

233
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:27.359
But the one thing I do remember
is no man shall know. So I

234
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:34.599
don't know how Twitter knows, unless
Jesus got a Twitter account and has trouble

235
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:40.480
keeping secrets, which I suspect he
doesn't. So anyway, all right,

236
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.000
six six forty one case D radio
program. That's right, we're having a

237
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:51.440
rapture discussion. It's a thing that's
happening this morning, and I didn't pick

238
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:57.240
it. So eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four doo do

239
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.599
doo, doo doo. All right, we get some calls coming in.

240
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.599
We'll get in on this. Oh
oh hold on, Uh yeah, Chris,

241
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.240
what's up, hey, Casey,
Goodmarens. Thanks for taking my call.

242
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.839
It's the Ford Rapture. They're trying
to sell trucks because the evs are

243
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:18.359
you're telling full me, sir.
I know it's the Raptor. Oh,

244
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.039
I'm sorry, man, I can't
read either. I thought I was rapture

245
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:22.880
this whole time. I was gonna
buy the truck, but I guess not

246
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.200
now. So well, that would
be good because that means Elon's getting some

247
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:32.240
advertising dollars back from some of the
more traditional companies. Love you, guys,

248
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:41.079
than you. What if you're in
Afford Raptor and then the rapture,

249
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.759
does the Ford Raptor come with you? Or do you just you know,

250
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:52.599
phase through the ceiling and then you're
on your way And then if you don't

251
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.200
go, at least you got a
speedy truck to get away from the hordes.

252
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.839
Yes, Wade, what's up hey, morning morning? You know the

253
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:06.200
right. You're exactly right. The
Rapture of Plot is a very good book

254
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.720
that explains the rapture. It was
Margaret McPherson was a young lady's name.

255
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.319
She had a dream in eighteen thirty
and she said at the time the dream

256
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.160
was evil. Scofield and some of
the other preachers of the time. Rand

257
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.039
with the theory, had a giant
revival and planted the idea that it was

258
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:27.440
gonna be any moment return of Christ. It was sucked the believers upright up

259
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:33.559
into heaven. Fortunately, that's just
not biblical. The Trible very clearly states

260
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.599
that you know, no man is
to know the hour. That's what I

261
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.359
said. You're close casing and yeah, and you know, and what it

262
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.839
is, guy, this so simple. There's an Antichrist coming, and that's

263
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.000
a fake Christ. He's gonna look
like Christ. He's gonna perform miracles.

264
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.319
It says he can call lightening down
from heaven. He's probably gonna have you,

265
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.440
Grandma and grand Daddy's standing there and
not really looked just like him telling

266
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.400
his Christ. The whole world mostly
is gonna believe his Christ. But it's

267
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.279
not. It's the fake. It's
five months maybe just two and a half.

268
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.559
Well, i'll tell you, I'll
tell you. I'll tell you this,

269
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.279
sir. If Twitter thinks they know
the hour of the rapture, my

270
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:14.400
audience thinks they know who the anti
Christ is. Every election cycle I get

271
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.519
these emails. So truder is the
science. Yeah. Yes, those are

272
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:23.119
two words never used together. For
example, it's a six six six deal.

273
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.680
That's to six seal to six l
to six Trump. That's Satan Antichrist

274
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:32.039
seven seven seven seventh seal seventh thousand, seventh Trump, that's the treat Christ.

275
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.799
So we're supposed to wait. I
always wanted to say, he won't

276
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.480
be taken out of feel if they're
taken by the Antichrist. He tells you,

277
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.880
he tells you wait, wait,
wait, be patient, be patient.

278
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:44.920
Wait. So I don't want to
know if so, Now, if

279
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.039
you are the one floating away,
you're going that you're a bad person.

280
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.559
No, they're not gonna fluat,
They're gonna fake you. Okay, all

281
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.440
right, that's what I think.
You can you imagine how you could dupe

282
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.839
the American public, Sir, will
also probably be a super are Also,

283
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.079
it sounds like that'd be too hard
to do. It's gonna be it's gonna

284
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.119
be tough. Yeah, he got
your mind. Solid it. Here's you

285
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.839
to the first supernatural being you ever
say on this earth. He claims to

286
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:14.319
be quiet. Who ever, pitch
yourself if you feel it, it ain't

287
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.160
him. There you guys. Okay, all right, all right, sir,

288
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.880
I appreciate the call this morning.
Okay, thanks for bringing up Yeah,

289
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:27.079
well take thank thank thank Twitter,
sir God Twitter. All right,

290
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.839
thank you. All right. That
man's got energy. I like him.

291
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:41.480
I'm I'm slightly less confused on the
main topic, but now I'm more confused

292
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.920
on a bunch of other stuff.
If the high bar is they're going to

293
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:49.839
be able to dupe the American public, we're doomed. Man guy might as

294
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:55.759
well roll in tomorrow and just you
know, give him some free stuff,

295
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:02.400
Give him some COVID bucks, call
him rapture bucks. American public is not

296
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.200
gonna care if you're sending them a
check. All right, six forty five

297
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.079
k c O day radio program.
Hang on, this is one oh six

298
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:17.759
one FM Talk in the Triangle and
here's talk w PTI and the Triad.

299
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.640
Yeah. It's really slow though,
and the GPS doesn't work so well.

300
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:33.599
It's telling ross I got a new
Chevy Limbo yesterday, I got my pontiac

301
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.359
purgatory. Oh wow, yeah,
that must suck to write it does,

302
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:45.640
doesn't sounds like any fun, super
boring. Oh well, look at that.

303
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.599
Everyone's getting new h new rails.
D's awesome. All right, So

304
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:56.799
six fifty two, we're probably not
getting raptured today. So that's good or

305
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.119
baited on penn on, how you
look at it, it's bad. I

306
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:04.240
don't know. I don't know.
I've got a busy schedule. So there's

307
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.400
that the president can't tell when he's
at the Congressional Black Caucus or the Congressional

308
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:14.680
Hispanic cofer Caucus. And I mean
it sinceer that my dad, you say,

309
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:19.039
everyone, everyone is entitled to be
treated with dignity and respect. Congressional

310
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:23.519
Black Hawcus have bodies, all those
values. Just think of the work we're

311
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:29.720
done together on civil rights, labor
rights, healthcare, education. No,

312
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.799
all right, let me can I
help you know? Sometimes? Do you

313
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.599
RUSSI used demonic devices? Ever?
Yes? They do? Okay, all

314
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.400
right, I find them incredibly helpful. Little little memory tricks, you know,

315
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.359
like what was the planet one?
My very earthly mother just stold Uncle

316
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.599
Ned's pie. I don't know why. I remember that from like third grade.

317
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.559
But now there's no pie. So
oh yeah, no, we had

318
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.440
my very educated mother just served us
nine pieces. I like that. You

319
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.200
get changed. The e even as
a kid had bothered me because I thought

320
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.079
it was cheating to say my earthly
mother. But whatever, all right,

321
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.559
educated? Wow, Look now who's
the misogynist me? Okay, all right,

322
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:12.920
so let me help the president of
the United States. Okay when it

323
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.920
when you're when you're talking to the
Black Caucus, you need to remember,

324
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:22.960
those are the people you say are
you're gonna they're gonna get put back in

325
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:27.480
chains? Okay, right, so
that's those are the back in chains people,

326
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.880
right, So maybe get him like
a little you know, like an

327
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.839
emoji. Is there a chains emoji? I don't know if there's a chains

328
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.039
emo. I know there's an emoji
for the other one I'm gonna use,

329
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:47.480
but I don't know if there's a
chain's emoji. Oh, I thought we

330
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.799
had the Biden chains thing. I
was gonna play the audio and where was

331
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.680
that that was in? Uh?
That was right up here and just in

332
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.400
the listening area. But Virginia,
is that in Danville? Where he said

333
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:03.920
that? And Danville. All right, So those are the chains the put

334
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:08.079
them back in chains people, right, because you said that your political opponents

335
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:15.160
want to put them back in chains. And then the Hispanic caucus. Those

336
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.319
are the different tacos people, according
to your wife, right, remember,

337
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:26.920
Joe Biden. As distinct as the
bogadas of the Bronx. I forgot about

338
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:34.440
the bogadas part. Does she mean
Bogata Columbia or does she mean Bodega?

339
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:41.599
She means Bodega. Well that's not
even a bad part. As distinct as

340
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:48.119
the bogadas of the Bronx, as
beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and

341
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:56.640
as unique as the breakfast tacos here
in San Antonio, as unique as the

342
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:02.359
breakfast tacos of sa in Todio.
Now, don't get me wrong. I

343
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:07.359
love a breakfast taco. Sign me
up for a breakfast taco. Good breakfast

344
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:12.400
tacos. And I had a buddy
used to live in Houston and like and

345
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.839
so I went down to visit for
a few days, and you know,

346
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.400
he's like, yeah, you used
the extra room radio buddy I used to

347
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.400
work with, and and like his
you know, his wife would love to

348
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.640
cook breakfast and I'd be out the
damn door when I woke up to go

349
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:33.759
to one of the three thousand gas
stations that sells breakfast tacos because I don't

350
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.119
get I'll get that every day.
There's a couple of places here in North

351
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.000
Carolina where you could find them.
Over on Capitol there's they got one of

352
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.000
those joints. But man, I
found the one with the good charizo.

353
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:52.279
I was game on mmmm, breakfast
tacos. So yeah, So, mister

354
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.160
President, I'd go with a taco
emoji and a chain emoji. So you

355
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:02.960
understand which minority you're attempting to dupe
and keep on the you know, keep

356
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:12.839
on the team by attempting to scare
them of ever deviating in their thought process.

357
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.039
It's very important, very important thing
for you to do. Also,

358
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.640
how much is enough for you pumpkin
spice people? Do you know it's the

359
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.279
twentieth anniversary of that. I just
saw this at this point. It's the

360
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:37.960
twentieth anniversary of pumpkin spice lattes,
which set off pumpkin spice everything. You've

361
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:42.519
had a good run. Can we
be done with this? How long did

362
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:49.039
disco last? It wasn't twenty years
and many of you listening. Probably had

363
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.960
pretty good time during that. But
then you're like, what are we doing?

364
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:59.759
Why do I own these pants?
Why has this whole thing got a

365
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.119
boon in it? Right? Or
however? You know, however you celebrate,

366
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:10.599
but it didn't last twenty years.
Remember Jenko's. If you're of my

367
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:16.079
generation, you remember Jenko's. Remember
those jeans that were the size of a

368
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:22.960
tug boat. They were so wide
in you know, the hippie kids would

369
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.920
wear them, right, that didn't
last twenty years. Nah, Back in

370
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.960
my neighborhood, it was like the
gangster kids wore them. Well, you

371
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.279
have to understand a greb wyoming.
So unless you want to Malibu's most wanted

372
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:42.119
scenario, it's not happening out there. So but still I remember I remember

373
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.079
looking at those and okay, well
it doesn't matter he's wearing them. They

374
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:46.960
looked dumb, didn't they. Oh
yeah, there was never a point where

375
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:54.920
it's like I need those. Yes, why they didn't last twenty years?

376
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:04.000
All of this stuff, they're super
ex everyone's super excited. Gone, maybe

377
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:13.280
less so on the Jankos with the
disco right, so no, no kick

378
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:17.639
the habit this year's say no sorry. I was at a restaurant yesterday and

379
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.320
like two of the taps, perfectly
good beer taps. It could have perfectly

380
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:29.239
good Belgians in there or something at
Pumpkin Spice crap. Just say no,

381
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.199
all right, good morning. It
is seven h seven here on the case

382
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:24.239
O Day Radio program phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven

383
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:29.519
four. All right. So we
have had a lot of discussion going back

384
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:35.599
to the end of last week about
the Raleigh Christmas Parade, stupidity of politicians,

385
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:44.480
and it's it's it's not it's not
been figured out yet. So we

386
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.960
continue, we continue to monitor the
battle and what I wanted to do because

387
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:54.199
I don't Ross you think the Merril
come on the show robily note some some

388
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:59.880
would say we were very we were
a little oh, we were just right,

389
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:01.360
Okay, all right, Ross,
tellmy we're just right good. I

390
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:06.679
agree, so she won't. However, the group that puts on the parade

391
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.480
is not the city. I still
see there's people who think that it's not

392
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:14.480
the city. The organization that puts
it on is and it's a mouthful Shop

393
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:21.280
Local Raleigh Greater Raleigh Merchants Association.
I'm just gonna call it shop Local or

394
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:27.440
Merchants Association, and I'm gonna chat
with the woman behind the scenes is having

395
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.679
to do all this negotiating, all
this organizing, and that is Jennifer Martin

396
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.599
from the organization. Jennifer, how
you doing this morning? And well,

397
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:38.239
thanks for having us. I'm gonna
call you this Merchants Association and stumble over

398
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:42.519
it, so I apologize in advance. Okay, all right, that's fine.

399
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.000
First of all, give me the
scope of who your group is,

400
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:49.280
just so people. I mean,
it's somewhat self explanatory, but how many

401
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.480
businesses we talk and how many folks
are are part of this organization, and

402
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:59.639
what's your goal is? As an
organization, Sure Shop Local Rally, we

403
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.440
try and work with locally owned,
independent small businesses all throughout the county.

404
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:07.599
Primarily all of our members are wally
based, and we do work with them

405
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:10.440
day to day, whether it's helping
them within in consulting work, if it's

406
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:15.320
an advocacy work, if it is
just being an ear and a voice with

407
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:19.960
them, connecting them, giving them
educational seminars, training, anything a small

408
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.239
business owner might need. And then
we also put together a program to give

409
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.679
them competitive advantages that a big box
might have. That they won't have as

410
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.000
an individual, Okay, and then
you guys involve yourself with you know,

411
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.679
with various events. Obviously, the
events have the net impact of drawing people

412
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:38.320
into the county, into the city, into the wherever the area is,

413
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:44.079
and generating revenue right because people are
shopping or maybe they're discovering a store for

414
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:45.119
the first time. I mean,
this is part of what you do,

415
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:50.840
that's right. I mean from an
outset perspective, it does look like we

416
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:52.960
operate like a chamber by day,
you know, for those small businesses.

417
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:58.000
But then we also part of our
mission is to connect business in community together

418
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:00.880
and how we do that as through
event and so we're very heavy on social

419
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.199
media, having a presence on Facebook
and Instagram, you know, connecting the

420
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:08.039
consumers, making sure they're aware what's
happening in our area. We're very passionate

421
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:13.280
about our town, you know,
keeping the small businesses or the backbone of

422
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.599
our economy, and they're really the
heartbeat and the soul of what we do

423
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:20.800
here. And so with these events, it gives small businesses an opportunity to

424
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.719
market themselves to the Kennedy but it
also creates vibrancy and events and like you

425
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:28.880
said, it does create tax revenue
in jobs. And I don't care where

426
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:34.079
you go in anywhere in the triangle
for that matter. Right now, you

427
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.679
could have lived, you could have
been born here and never went on vacation

428
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.599
anywhere, and you could still be
constantly surprised. That's the look at that

429
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:45.960
new business. I mean, that
is the growth that is going on right

430
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.519
now. So people getting downtown.
If you haven't been downtown in a few

431
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:53.039
months, I bet there's probably three
restaurants you've never heard of that are that

432
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:59.760
are there now easily easily. And
you know, with the small businesses collectively,

433
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.920
when you put them all together,
they are the largest employer in our

434
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:05.880
area. And I mean that's you
know, a lot to think about when

435
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:07.760
you look at it that way.
Right now, we have over eight hundred

436
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.119
members. Pre pandemic, we were
over a thousand, So obviously we're still

437
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.960
working ourselves to come back to that
as well. But we serve a lot

438
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.320
of people in our community, which
is a lot of tax revenue. Yeah,

439
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:21.880
yeah, And that's that's going to
come into play here because I want

440
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.000
to kick into two things, and
we're going to start with what we've been

441
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:29.199
chatting about. This week. The
Christmas Parade, for those who don't know,

442
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.119
is roughly the same age as the
president, you know, right around

443
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:37.559
eighty years minus a couple World War
two years and a video version. But

444
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:43.920
how long have you guys specifically been
doing the Christmas Parade? Your organization putting

445
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.239
it together? Sure, all of
them day and actually founded it. Part

446
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.159
of the parade is the old history
of Raleigh where downtown Raleigh Stay at Bell

447
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:54.039
Street was the original retail district at
this town. You know, Belk actually

448
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:58.159
started down there back in the dayla
It's called Hudson Belk. I'm a lot

449
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.480
of those businesses there is a and
Burke's Hardware, things like that, and

450
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.039
they all came together and wanted to
give a gift back to this community,

451
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.079
you know, thank them for supporting
them, for helping employ them, keeping

452
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.079
them going. And that's actually why
it is also the weekend before Thanksgiving.

453
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.599
It's because black sidea happens and so
those most tends would be busy, but

454
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:22.360
they wanted to always give a gift
back to this town. When you guys,

455
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:28.639
when you look back to what happened
last year and the tragedy that struck

456
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:32.440
as one of the one of the
girls. I wish it was a dance

457
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:36.119
team or a baton team. I
can't I'm sorry if I can't remember.

458
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:45.360
And you know, obvious, obviously
at that point, you guys had to

459
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:49.559
take a look at what was going
on within the parade, the rules,

460
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:52.719
the requirements, the family of that
girl, where it was working with the

461
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:59.400
legislature to actually put together some some
legislation. I read it. It seemed

462
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:05.639
mostly reasonable. What did that cause
you guys to do proactively before you ever

463
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.360
came to the city asking for another
permit for this year's event. Sure,

464
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:14.639
you know, I think a lot
of things happened. Obviously, we're individuals

465
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:17.519
ourselves, and we have grieved every
single day since that day. I mean,

466
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:21.599
it's been one of the hardest things
to have to go through. And

467
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.480
considering that family that they're going to, I can't even imagine. And so

468
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:28.599
we looked at this and said,
Okay, we've got it. We've got

469
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:30.519
to fix this. We gotta make
this right for next year. How do

470
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:34.639
we honor this family, this child, and then how do we improve and

471
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.239
making sure that not only is this
parade safe, but how do we improve

472
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:40.079
every single how can we work with
the sea of rally to improve every single

473
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:46.000
event. And so we're brought in
together a committee of people with past experience

474
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:52.239
and events safety management doing different events
themselves, and brought them to the table

475
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.920
and said, okay, let's look
at this, and came up with a

476
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.440
set of rules and regulations and requirements
that we would mandate that have to be

477
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.280
followed, you know by all participants
and things like, you know, knowing

478
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.679
the towing capacity of the trailers,
knowing the weight limit of the trucks,

479
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:12.360
of towing capacity, you know,
all of those factors that would play in

480
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.280
the age of drivers back in you
know, knowing their license, their inspection

481
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:21.480
history, knowing having a passenger in
the car with windows rolled down. And

482
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:24.400
furthermore, we we looked at having
a safety consultant come on board and had

483
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:28.639
been in talks with them since the
morning of day would actually do the ones

484
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:31.079
to actually inspect every vehicle to make
sure the tires look good, you know,

485
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:35.559
confirmed that the driver we had been
told was coming is actually the one

486
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:37.800
coming, all those kind of things, and checked that all before it left

487
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:45.039
the start line that morning. Sorry, but microphone is actually weird. Uh

488
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.000
yeah, I want to get that
on the record, because when I then

489
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.119
saw the story and and oh,
and also keep in mind that the city

490
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:54.480
of Raleigh, during from from the
point of your Christmas parade last year to

491
00:42:54.960 --> 00:43:02.840
your application this year, had permitted
multiple other parades, but did include some

492
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:07.599
additional safety stuff, a lot of
which was what you you were just talking

493
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:12.920
about. So I wanted that all
out there because I, like many others,

494
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:17.639
was shocked when I when I saw
the miryor's response that no, we're

495
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:22.000
not going to give you the permit, We're going to do some other holidays

496
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:27.000
something or other whatever, but it
and then the reasons why, which included

497
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.719
the family who I in my opinion, and you don't. You can agree

498
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.559
or disagree or not comment, that's
fine. I think that that was the

499
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:38.440
most horrific thing that she did because
it gave people the impression that the family

500
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:43.679
didn't want the parade, and that
was not true. The family didn't want

501
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.519
the parade, they wanted additional safety
measures, of which you seemed to be

502
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:51.679
meeting what those are, So I
thought that that was a cop out.

503
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:54.400
Then there was a lawsuits, blaming
lawsuits. The city was not being sued.

504
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.000
It was shocking to me, how
shocked for you guys, when they

505
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:06.519
initially said no, you know,
it was very disappointing. We actually mentioned

506
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.239
and again at this time we were
told that the decision was coming from city

507
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:13.360
council, that they had weighed in
on this. We later learned that they

508
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.920
had not weighed in on this as
a whole, and that this was more

509
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.480
of a scaff decision right now.
When we when we got the call and

510
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:22.519
met with them, it was a
very quick call. It was a very

511
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:25.800
abrupt call, and about thirty minutes
later the media had the press release so

512
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.119
that this is not happening. But
during that call we did mention to them

513
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.719
that in the lawsuit, on the
first page of the family did mention they

514
00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:36.679
did not want to pray to continue
or to end, and to us,

515
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:37.960
we knew, okay, we have
to do this, we have to keep

516
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:42.159
going and we have to make these
improvements for it, and we mentioned that

517
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:44.960
on the call, but unfortunately,
you know, that was not taken into

518
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.800
consideration. And so it's a lot
of work on us to do these events.

519
00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:52.840
We don't take them lightly. We
are very We love serving our community

520
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:55.280
and when you work for a nonprofit, a lot of people know these are

521
00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:59.519
labors of love. You don't work
forty hours a week. You work much

522
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.320
more than you do it because you
love it. Yeah, especially this time

523
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:07.119
of the year with all the events
going on to the other events, I

524
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.599
lost my mind. We were we
were aggressive in our coverage, but that's

525
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:16.320
fine, that's what I do.
And I further lost my mind again when

526
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:21.719
it looked like the city was going
to try to save a little face and

527
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:23.480
come back and say, all right, you can have it, but you

528
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:30.519
can't have motors or floats or vehicles
or any of that other stuff. It's

529
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:36.400
a purely Stone age era parade.
And because I'm like one, that doesn't

530
00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:42.159
work for everything that people have come
to expect with these parades and and how

531
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:45.440
people some people choose to participate in
these parades because they have mobility issues.

532
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:51.760
That doesn't work. And I would
hate for your organization to just go okay,

533
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:55.679
because it's allowing a very bad decision
by somebody who just doesn't get it,

534
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:00.679
in my opinion, to not look
like the person that they are being

535
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:04.960
here. So I am glad to
see that you guys have not You didn't

536
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.480
just agree to that and go on. So let's talk about that process and

537
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:13.280
where you are now. Sure,
sure. So we were called less than

538
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:16.800
twenty four hours later with the option
of having a non motorized parade. And

539
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:21.920
our concern, like you mentioned,
is the mobility issues. You know,

540
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.199
we asked about having golf carts to
help with those and things like that.

541
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:30.519
Unfortunately those are not approved and we've
with that, We've taken too consideration.

542
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:32.960
You know, obviously you've got you
can have horses, you can have bands,

543
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:36.320
you can have animals, you can
have dancers, but how do you

544
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:39.320
get the music down the street?
How do you base out the music from

545
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:43.559
the animals, And that's also a
big concern, making sure that you know

546
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:46.360
animals, those floats a lot of
times are buffers between that. Yeah,

547
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:51.199
horses can be jerks having raised with
being raised with horses, man, and

548
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:53.480
especially with crowds around. But yeah, no, it's a very good point.

549
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:55.760
I didn't even think of. I
want to make sure, yeah,

550
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:59.480
yeah, I mean, you don't
want to put a marching band next to

551
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.599
a horse, and so things like
that we try to be very very careful

552
00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:07.519
of. And so it's going to
create obviously, you know, we were

553
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.920
what sixty days when the news broke, we're now is it fifty six days

554
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:15.239
away? That including weekends, So
a lot of work is going to have

555
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:17.360
to happen to figure out how we
creatively do this, but how we also

556
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.840
give this city what they you know, has come to love and know to

557
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:27.119
the caliber. I mean, it's
televised throughout the state. And when we

558
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.719
had this option to do this,
it was it was a very quick option

559
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:32.880
that needed to be answered, and
at the end of the day, you

560
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:36.719
know, we said, we're committed
to make things this parade happen. We

561
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:39.079
want this for the city of Rali, for the people, for the residents,

562
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:45.280
for the community, and it was
in that litigation that they wanted to

563
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:50.440
continue. We knew we had to
continue, and so with that we accepted

564
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.119
it that we would we would do
the parade because we'd said we want this

565
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:55.960
to happen for this town. However, we then since learned that the council

566
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:59.480
did not weigh in on the matter, and some counselors asked us for the

567
00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:02.559
opportune for us to at least present
a safety plan since we were not given

568
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.320
that plan before that option to do
that, and so the only option was

569
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.800
to speak at city council in that
public comment section, which we had a

570
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:15.079
three minute opportunity to present to them
that we just wanted it. We wanted

571
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:17.079
them to reconsider. They didn't give
you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

572
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:21.920
They didn't give you your own agenda
item. If there was request by council

573
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.199
members to hear from you, the
agenda was already set at that time.

574
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:29.079
So the way the process works,
we'd have to wait until the next meeting

575
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:32.360
to get our own agenda item.
And so we were only a late allowed

576
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:36.880
to do that. Bats garbage.
I've covered city council for years, early

577
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:38.239
on in my career. If they
want to add something, they added,

578
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:43.599
well, there was a process to
do it unanimous. I don't Yeah,

579
00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:45.800
if I don't know how all that
works, Yeah, I guess I don't

580
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:47.920
know specifically Raleigh's rule. I'm sorry. I'm just so disappointed in all of

581
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.760
this. And so you're gonna so
you spoke, and then what do the

582
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:54.199
councilors say, what, we're going
to have a vote on this, We're

583
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.679
gonna look at it, We're going
to ignore you. I mean, what's

584
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:00.480
going to happen? No, we
were told thank you, and then one

585
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:05.599
counselor did ask the question and asked
us to go ahead and say you have

586
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.280
said, you have a safety preventation, you have requirements, can you tell

587
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:12.719
us more about those? And that
gave us the opportunity to start sharing some

588
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:15.760
of what we've worked on in our
plans, and then we were asked to

589
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:17.679
email the document to all of them
to review. We actually had printed out

590
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:22.320
copies, so we handed them to
printed out copies and emailed all of them

591
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.519
with that information. All right,
and this is I only have two minutes,

592
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.880
and I just want to hit you
on this. Would the thing that

593
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:35.559
you should the thing that you should
be talking to council members over should not

594
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.880
be having to slice anddise how this
parade works. This should be perfunctorary.

595
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:44.199
It should be what is going on
downtown and many other places in the city

596
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:50.480
of Raleigh that your membership, who
provides millions and millions in revenue for this

597
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:54.719
city, are doing about the safety
concerns there. Would you mind hanging on

598
00:49:54.880 --> 00:50:00.400
and talking about that? Sure?
Absolutely, because I think that's another really

599
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:05.119
big issue. And so with the
parade, you're just on a weight and

600
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:08.000
here approach, right, that's where
you are right now. But the parade

601
00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:14.119
will go down one way or the
other though, correct, correct? Okay,

602
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:17.840
all right? It's so frustrating.
All right, Jennifer, I'm gonna

603
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:22.239
throw you on hold. Is Jennifer
Martin from the Greater Raleigh Merchants Association.

604
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:30.440
And yes, if there if the
parade insanity wasn't enough, there's also the

605
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:37.480
safety concerns. You've heard about it
people people, You had a manager at

606
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:44.039
a restaurant who was literally beaten to
death. You've had so many police interactions

607
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:49.159
where they've had to be called people
with weapons, drugs, fights after fight

608
00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.639
after fight, and it all serves
to detract from people who've made big investments

609
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:57.639
in the community to provide what it
is the community says that they want,

610
00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:01.679
and for whatever reason, I don't
feel like the city is providing the services

611
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:05.679
back to them. So we'll see
what Jennifer thinks. We'll do it.

612
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:09.800
Next, it is the k c
O Day Radio program. Hang on one

613
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:15.320
oh six one FM Talk and ninety
four five w PTI, two stations driving

614
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:21.360
the best in talk. This is
case O Day and Carolina's Morning News.

615
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.440
All right, welcome back, Good
morning everybody. It is seven thirty six

616
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.400
here on the k c O Day
Radio program. We were chatting and we're

617
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:39.159
going to continue to chat because I
got two things on my list with Jennifer

618
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:45.480
Martin from the Shop Local Raleigh Greater
Raley Merchants Association, organizers of the Christmas

619
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:50.800
Parade, and where it stands right
now, Christmas Parade nothing motorized, and

620
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.800
maybe some interest on the part of
some of the city council members if there's

621
00:51:55.840 --> 00:52:04.559
a safety plan that perhaps they can
revisit that, but who knows. Jennifer

622
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:07.599
Martin joining us. Jennifer, I'm
sorry, I didn't have one other Christmas

623
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:12.679
thing, and I want to drive
this point home with something that was posted

624
00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:19.039
online and it was it was a
story about one of the people who participates

625
00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:22.400
in your Christmas parade. And I
read it on the air the other day

626
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:27.800
and let's just say, got a
little dusty. Here a young man who

627
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:32.039
has lost he had lost both of
his parents, He had he had turned

628
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:37.039
into a shell of his former self. He stopped speaking, and it was

629
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:43.280
the experience of getting to participate in
the parade and all of the all the

630
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:47.400
magic that that brings for a kid
that had his grandmother in tears with how

631
00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:52.400
it was changing him back to the
kid that she used to know. Is

632
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:55.960
that an accurate recitation of it,
that is that is and I think what

633
00:52:57.119 --> 00:53:00.599
people may may not realize is we
have those stories every single year. And

634
00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:04.280
you know, I mean, you
know, I'm a believer, I know

635
00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:07.880
what Christmas is about. But also
this parade to so many people, it's

636
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:10.920
about bringing people together. It's about
starting the celebrating of the season. And

637
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:15.199
this one event. Another reason we
just love it so much is you look

638
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:17.480
and you see the crowd. I
know, people get there at four am

639
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:22.599
to start saving their seats and that's
that's commitment. And they come and they

640
00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:25.159
say, you know what, like
I was in the parade as a kid

641
00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:29.079
and now my kid is in it, or I'm here to see my grandchildren

642
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:31.440
because I was in it when I
was in school. And again going back

643
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:36.599
to why we agreed to go on
no matter what is our kids deserve this.

644
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:38.599
You know, when we went virtual
in twenty twenty, my staff and

645
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:44.119
I we went around all these different
locations filming them and taking this back with

646
00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:46.639
the news station and editing the videos
so that they could still have a chance.

647
00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:51.679
These kids have. You know,
they lost COVID during that twenty twenty

648
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:53.320
year. They lost so much.
Now that you come back, we had

649
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:59.800
twenty twenty one obviously twenty twenty two, they and then now you know it's

650
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:01.159
in theres now. A lot of
these kids that refresh from back then and

651
00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:05.639
this is their chance to march and
to participate. And a lot of these

652
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:09.960
bands will use the footage from this
event to submit to other parades like the

653
00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:14.840
Rose Bowl Parade or the Macy's Day
Parade, things of that nature for their

654
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:20.199
consideration video for them to participate.
Yeah, this is there's there's so much.

655
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.199
I'm sorry, finish your thoughts.
Going back to the child that we

656
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:28.800
mentioned, you know, that's that's
literally what got him, made him come

657
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:31.519
alive again, if you will,
made him be human again. And there's

658
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:34.960
so many stories like that. With
last year, we had a girl that

659
00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:39.000
you know, stage war cancer and
so she wanted to walk with her band,

660
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:43.320
but couldn't do to her mobility issues
with her legs and cancer, and

661
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:45.000
so we rented a golf cart for
her as a surprise to have that.

662
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:50.960
And so there's we don't I don't
think we realize sometimes for kids what this

663
00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:54.360
means and why we continue this for
them. We work with a lot of

664
00:54:54.400 --> 00:55:00.559
the local nonprofits with kids that have
issues related to different f you know,

665
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:05.440
autoimmune diseases, so we identify places
along the route that have window seating so

666
00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:08.280
that they can sit upstairs and still
watch it and not be compromised with the

667
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:12.760
crowd. I mean, yeah,
I can't. I can't. The things

668
00:55:12.840 --> 00:55:17.519
that we'll never know about what goes
into putting a parade on is is why

669
00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:21.159
you you told me you were like, I'm I was up till two in

670
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:25.519
the morning the other day or yesterday, and it's just we we love doing

671
00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:30.039
this and again we're we consider ourselves
partners with the city of brow and a

672
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:31.239
lot of events, our event that
Dick's Park that we do, the Fall

673
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:35.159
festival, you know, we help
with the bluegrass event, doing this parade,

674
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:37.880
it's all in partnership and we just
simply want to continue that partnership and

675
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:43.000
do this the right way. You
know, I think that there's an opportunity

676
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:45.920
here. We understand last year's concerns, we do, but we've really worked

677
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:50.440
hard to overcome that. And you
know that we've researched too. There's other

678
00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:53.440
parades across the country that have had
accidents and tragedies, but all of them

679
00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:57.920
continued the next year, and they
continue and you find a way to pay

680
00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:00.679
it forward and honor that person or
that grew or whatever it might be,

681
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:07.400
because again, our kids deserve this. I don't think I'm I'm going to

682
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:10.639
disagree with you. From my perspective, I don't think they're your partner,

683
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:15.320
because partners are partners, right,
And I think with this right here,

684
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:19.679
this is not showing partnership. Have
you considered telling the marriage she give me

685
00:56:19.760 --> 00:56:23.880
the Grand Marshal and getting her a
scepter or something, I mean, overcome

686
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:28.679
this? And I don't, And
I question the partnership approach to when it

687
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:36.239
comes to protecting the investment that your
members have made in this community, their

688
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:40.599
physical investments, and their physical safety. When we continue to see stories and

689
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:45.239
anecdotally hear things. I was talking
to some folks who work at a very

690
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:52.000
very well known, long time downtown
restaurant yesterday about like some of the stuff

691
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:58.079
they've noticed from safety concerns, and
it's it's mind boggling. And then when

692
00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:02.599
I hear discussion about unarmed with no
arrest power security guards somehow supplanting the work

693
00:57:02.719 --> 00:57:07.079
the police need to be doing because
they have those arrest powers, I don't

694
00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:10.760
feel they're being a good partner to
you. Guys. So you don't have

695
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:15.400
to agree with me, but talk
about your concerns and the concerns of your

696
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:19.079
membership, because I know some of
them, and I know some of them

697
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:23.440
have sat in their back rooms with
firearms to protect their stuff. This is

698
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:28.280
out of hand, Jennifer, it's
out of hand. I think downtown rolling,

699
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:31.440
especially Fayetville Street District quarter or especially, is still fighting to come back.

700
00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:34.719
I mean, you know, we
obviously know we had the riots,

701
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:37.400
we had the protests, we had
the pandemic, but you know, people

702
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:42.119
are not back in office in the
large majority. There's a lack of foot

703
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:45.000
traffic. There is a lot of
issues down there. You know, the

704
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:50.360
crime that's happening at the bus station
there's it is a it's a huge concern,

705
00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:52.280
and we get calls every day from
a lot of our businesses all over

706
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:57.079
town, but especially in that Fetale
Street district that say, we need help,

707
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.840
We need help people, our customers
aren't coming here, or this happened

708
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:04.880
or that happened, or this incident. I've called, you know for nine

709
00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:07.079
one one or I've called police,
and I don't know what to do anymore.

710
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:10.239
Like it's becoming a daily incident where
they're calling. I know that we

711
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:15.239
ourselves have contacted DCX corporate asking them
to hire some security outside of their store,

712
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:20.239
just knowing that that is such a
hot spot of activity and with that

713
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:23.440
DVX store, and that it is
a problem in downtown. You know,

714
00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:27.519
again, I don't know what to
do. We've offered solutions to the Alliance

715
00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:31.119
Downtown of can we help program events
because events do bring foot traffic. So

716
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:35.320
if we program, if we do
weekly programming to get people back down here,

717
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:38.800
will that help, you know,
alleviate some of this the people that

718
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:43.320
are not doing good. You know, I don't know what the solution is.

719
00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.360
What we are definitely willing to sit
at the table and to be part

720
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:50.079
of discussions and proactively jump in and
roll up sleeves to do wherever we can

721
00:58:50.199 --> 00:58:53.360
to help clean this up because it
is a problem. We're also hearing from

722
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:57.360
members in North Frawley. You know, there's been a lot of smashing grabs

723
00:58:57.400 --> 00:59:00.239
lately. People are going in overnight
smashing out windows, smashing windows at North

724
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:04.920
Hills, at North and it's the
most vanilla No I don't mean this is

725
00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:09.280
in an offensive way, but that's
the most vanilla picturesque living slash shopping community

726
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:15.800
they have and they smashed a bunch
of windows out the other day. Yeah,

727
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:17.960
I mean it's it's a grin.
We are rapidly growing city. I

728
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:22.440
understand that, and with bigger cities
you have bigger problems. But we also

729
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:25.039
have to handle those like bigger cities
and look at this and say, okay,

730
00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:28.639
we got to get this in the
control now. You know, our

731
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:31.280
merchants up in North Rowley, they
were telling us it's it's thousands of dollars

732
00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:35.840
in damage. It's there. They
may be shut down that day for business

733
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.360
or the next. You know,
their insurance point, their insurance premiums are

734
00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:40.880
going up because ultimately they're the ones
they're going to have to pay for that.

735
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:45.400
And crime is on the rise.
I think we've heard recently that the

736
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:51.280
business crime in our community is up
fifty six percent, which means, you

737
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:54.159
know, robbing stores or breaking in
things like that, fifty six percents a

738
00:59:54.320 --> 01:00:00.159
huge amount. And we want to
simply be a part of helping a How

739
01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:04.199
do we help be a resource,
be an advocate, be whatever we can

740
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:07.480
do. Our merchants heat this and
you know they're calling us and I don't

741
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:09.960
have the answers. I'm not security
trained. I don't have that background,

742
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:13.920
but I want to help them and
that my heartboats show them is what they're

743
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:17.960
going through. No, we're rapidly
turning to the position where you see you

744
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:22.159
see this in some West Coast cities
where people leave all their windows down and

745
01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:25.159
their doors unlocked so they don't have
to replace windows. Right, They're like,

746
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:29.159
you want to root around in my
car? Here you go. And

747
01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:32.199
in downtown Raleigh is becoming I lived
in downtown Raleigh when I first moved to

748
01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:37.119
North Carolina, and there were there
there were always things that you wish you

749
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:42.280
had down there, like a grocery
store, an ABC store, uh and

750
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:45.239
many and those things are coming to
fruition right now. It's never been more

751
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:51.079
livable and workable than it is right
now. And the thing that is going

752
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:55.800
to decimate that is the crime.
And so the city's got to get on

753
01:00:55.880 --> 01:00:59.000
this all right, Jennifer, thank
you so much for so much of your

754
01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:02.159
time this morning. I really hope
that the city council, and I don't

755
01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:07.559
know if I the city council is
now going to look at your security plan,

756
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:09.599
which means if they still say no, then I'm gonna instead of just

757
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:14.760
the mayor, the council members share
a little bit of responsibility in this,

758
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:19.599
and they can all join in the
mayor slapping ice cream cones out of kid's

759
01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:22.280
hands or whatever makes them feels.
You don't have to say it, I'll

760
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:24.480
say it for you, Okay.
I just want this to happen. And

761
01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:29.800
I want that kid who speaks now, I want I want ten more of

762
01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:34.960
him because you will never at this
stage of adulthood. It sucks, but

763
01:01:35.039 --> 01:01:38.159
we'll never we'll never feel like Christmas
feels to a kid ever again. And

764
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:43.039
I really, I really wish we
did so. All right, thank you,

765
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.400
thank you for your time and all
your support on this. We do

766
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:47.760
appreciate you absolutely, and we appreciate
you guys working out there and all the

767
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:52.159
different events. Jennifer Martin there seven
forty six race stagic from the Weather Channel.

768
01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:59.440
He joins us, what up,
man? I don't know. I

769
01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:04.320
just and over all this data,
trying to figure all this out, all

770
01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:08.320
this crunching some numbers. Yeah,
is it? Well? Is wait?

771
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:12.800
Does it get thirty? Are you
trying to figure out how you guys are

772
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:16.199
gonna keep winning when you guys are
pulling acls in practice. Well, I

773
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:20.920
at first I was figuring out we
were pretty close last night with thirty twenty

774
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:22.960
eight, so what would say I've
regested fourteen, then we said twenty one.

775
01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:25.360
It's kind of a wash. But
yeah, yeah, no, no,

776
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:29.440
no, I'm talking about Diggs.
Oh yeah, I know, well

777
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:35.360
not yours. Your Diggs is fine, his Digs, his bust Stefan.

778
01:02:36.679 --> 01:02:43.440
I thought Willie panic difference John Diggs. Right, well, I'm gonna say

779
01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:47.280
something, and I don't want This
is just my opinion. I he's overrated.

780
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:52.039
I think he's overrated. A lot
of his interesting Oh okay, give

781
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:53.800
me, I'll gonna fight you.
No, no, no, no,

782
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:59.400
for for the Cowboys. Yeah,
Trayvon Trayvon over I think overrated. I

783
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:01.079
mean right east, right time.
I mean a lot of his interceptions last

784
01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:06.000
year were almost gimmes. And he
got burnt plenty of times too. So

785
01:03:06.239 --> 01:03:09.320
I wouldn't murder I wouldn't murder you
for anybody. For a secondary I don't

786
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:15.280
care. So you say Digs could
do better even with the evil yea,

787
01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:21.760
even with the boot, with the
boot, Well who the Vikings scot this

788
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:27.760
week? Nobody see's over We don't
talk to Okay, that sounds good.

789
01:03:28.079 --> 01:03:32.079
Maybe on the west coast, yeah, okay, some impact is some of

790
01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:37.800
these. I picked one out just
because of it's the closest one East Carolina

791
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:43.480
against Gardner Webb six o'clock tomorrow evening. So I picked that one because that

792
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:45.679
could have the most impact. With
the rain and wind and the tropical storm

793
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:50.840
warnings on the eastern part of the
state. We'll get some rain here,

794
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.519
still thinking Triangle East, heaviest rain, the flood watches don't start to a

795
01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:59.039
few counties off to the east of
us. Still could see quarter half an

796
01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:00.440
inch, maybe up to an inch
of rain. But if you're moving out

797
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:03.559
and about tomorrow, especially east,
it's going to be nasty. The winds

798
01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:09.360
could still dust even here. Tropical
storm force plus that's thirty nine plus miles

799
01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:13.639
per hour maye to forty five to
fifty in some areas as the low comes.

800
01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:16.199
It's closest point tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow
evening, and that's going to be

801
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:19.440
to the east of US. So
again on the western edge to the triad,

802
01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:23.280
less rain quarter of an inch or
less, and then even less than

803
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:27.840
none into the mountains. So pretty
variable conditions across the state. Worst out

804
01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:30.960
near where we'll get the water rise
and anywhere from one to four or five

805
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:33.960
feet of storm surge or some storm
surge warnings also out near the coast.

806
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:39.679
So this is a potential tropical styclone
right now. Forecasts to become tropical storm

807
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:44.199
Aphilia later today. Maximum sustained winds
now at fifty. Hurricane Center things to

808
01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:46.639
sixty and make it a little bit
stronger. So this may be kind of

809
01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:50.880
catching people off guard a little bit. Either way, things will start getting

810
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:55.440
better towards the end of the weekend
and early next week, so try not

811
01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:58.519
to take too much time. The
bottom line is wet and wetter as you

812
01:04:58.599 --> 01:05:01.400
go east and windier, but still
from the triangle east. Pretty nasty day,

813
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:04.079
but conditions do worsen as you head
closer to the coast. All right,

814
01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:09.760
now, let me uh the important
stuff right now? Yeah, yeah,

815
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:15.039
for all your other data. Hypothetically, if a radio host was to

816
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:18.519
get on a plane at the middle
of the afternoon at r DU flying to

817
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:25.400
New York's in New York City,
would there be potential weather impact? When

818
01:05:25.519 --> 01:05:30.360
is this now this afternoon, middle
afternoon. I'm going out of Raleigh.

819
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:33.719
It'll probably just be starting further off
the coast. No, all right,

820
01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:38.199
I think you'll be okay, all
right, yeah, you don't okay,

821
01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:40.719
they'll find a way to screw it
up, so well exactly, yeah,

822
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:43.320
all right, all right, thank
you sir. To the next hour and

823
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.639
we'll come back. We got Pete
Calendar joined us at eight o five and

824
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:51.840
for all you guys looking for it, I've a viagra alternative science is here

825
01:05:51.920 --> 01:06:01.119
for you. Hang on your day
Smarter one six one FM Talk and News

826
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:20.920
Talk PTI more with Casey starts now. Oh yeah, yeah. The the

827
01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:26.039
Internet is insults, it's undefeated,
but it's also a bunch of a holes.

828
01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:30.199
Can we disagree with that? So
somebody created a video that ended up

829
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:36.920
going viral that was like you know, health health hacks or something, right,

830
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:41.320
and it's like, hey, did
you ever want to see if you're

831
01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:44.119
pregnant but don't want to have to
go buy a pregnancy test, which,

832
01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:45.119
by the way, I don't even
I don't even know what those costs.

833
01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:48.239
Ross I were just talking about,
and like there's much organizations to give him

834
01:06:48.239 --> 01:06:54.880
away for free, right, So
so what did they tell them? They

835
01:06:55.039 --> 01:06:59.320
said they that if you want to
test if you're pregnant, one of the

836
01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:03.880
things that him and can do is
to get a bowl of bleach and then

837
01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:08.639
provide a sample. Do you understand
what I mean? Number one into the

838
01:07:08.679 --> 01:07:11.960
bleach, and if the bleach turns
a different color a certain color, you're

839
01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:15.960
pregnant, and if it doesn't,
you're not pregnant. The problem is when

840
01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:20.719
you number one into a bowl of
bleach, you create mustard gas. Oh

841
01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:25.280
no, that's not good. They
had a family that ended up having to

842
01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:30.639
lock themselves in a far room and
he'd be rescued because the gas was blocking

843
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:32.320
their ability to get out of their
apartment. But like him, I knocked

844
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.360
up, and you're accidentally creating something
that was banned after World War One.

845
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:40.400
Yes, yes, and it's probably
like because you saw it on TikTok.

846
01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:44.360
They are relatively cheap, I would
imagine it. It's probably suppoor teenage girl

847
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:46.199
wondering if she's knocked up or pregnant. You know she's trying to hide it

848
01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:51.199
and your parents, Now, no, right there. You know you're knocking

849
01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:55.119
on your kid's door. You're worried
about her. She's been a little quiet

850
01:07:55.320 --> 01:08:01.199
at you know, just not something
just feels off as a parent, And

851
01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:05.599
all of a sudden, the door
opens and mustard gas envelops. You dead

852
01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:12.440
give away, dead give away,
So don't do that. Okay, don't

853
01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:18.800
create mustard gas. I can't believe
I have to say these things out loud.

854
01:08:19.319 --> 01:08:24.279
Don't eat slice cheese with plastic on
it, and don't do it,

855
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:28.800
you know, do it yourself home
mustard gas. Of course, now you

856
01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:30.199
all know how to make mustard gas, so God help us. I mean

857
01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:33.000
you should all own a gas mask. Anyway, we have several under my

858
01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:36.640
bid. Yeah, and Lincoln there
you got kids size for him. There's

859
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:42.119
so much fun, not terrifying at
all. No, well, you put

860
01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:45.880
like a spider Man, one of
the old timey ones. Oh okay,

861
01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:49.039
right, that wasn't even by the
way, that wasn't even the health the

862
01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:51.520
thing I was gonna do. I'm
gonna save that story because I can't do

863
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:56.079
it in just forty five seconds.
But let's just say, if you want

864
01:08:56.119 --> 01:09:00.479
to save money on viagra, we
got some tips for you, and I

865
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:10.119
mean tips. Oh that story is
so wrong, and we'll let's see.

866
01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:14.239
Oh yeah, we got to get
into the insanity list stupidity yesterday of the

867
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:17.760
well, I'll probably talk a little
about that with Pete Calendar. And remember

868
01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:20.760
how we were talking about those homeless
encampments, the one in Seattle with the

869
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:28.479
pool and then the one yesterday in
Denver with a casino and a brothel and

870
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:33.119
a speak easy. Well, they
got nothing on Venezuelan prisons. Man,

871
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:38.479
they got nothing on them. We'll
get to that, but Pete Calendar joins

872
01:09:38.560 --> 01:10:18.760
us directly after the news. Hang
on, all right, good morning everybody,

873
01:10:18.920 --> 01:10:21.960
and welcome. It is eight oh
seven here on the k c O

874
01:10:23.079 --> 01:10:29.039
Day radio program phone number eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

875
01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:30.880
To hold on to that. We'll
get back to your calls and stuff

876
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:34.720
coming up later in this hour.
But first, it's our radio buddy to

877
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:42.239
the South mid Day's WBT, Pete
Calendar, who this morning walked in and

878
01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:47.439
they've relocated your studio to the rack
room. Huh night, that's it isn't

879
01:10:47.439 --> 01:10:54.239
an upgrade. Okay, sad actually, but supposed to be punishment. I'm

880
01:10:54.359 --> 01:10:58.439
sorry if I talked about this earlier
on the show. So wake forrest.

881
01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:05.399
Rep. Terrence Everett has had his
office relocated by speaker more to a former

882
01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:11.680
storage room in the basement over at
the the Capitol here in Raleigh, and

883
01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.439
of course the von von hatefuls or
von Hoffen and and the rest of her,

884
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:20.399
the other Democrats, they are always
on Twitter. They're they're outrage.

885
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:27.319
This is disrespectful. This this,
this is a black mark on this institution

886
01:11:27.359 --> 01:11:32.039
because they're all there to do hard
work and not politic and and they're you

887
01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:34.960
know, and it's just petty.
Never mind that this is the dude who

888
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:42.199
was trying to drag Das into operating
a salacious, full scale, media ready

889
01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:47.479
investigation of taxpayer funded orgies so that
they could attacked him more. And I'm

890
01:11:47.520 --> 01:11:53.800
sorry pettiness, but gets pettiness.
I don't care. That's where I'm at,

891
01:11:54.079 --> 01:12:00.039
right. This is it's another This
is another example of the hyper a

892
01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:04.760
theater kid syndrome that we are apparently
at the mercy of all of I guess

893
01:12:04.800 --> 01:12:12.039
theater kids all grown up that engage
in these types of over the top exaggerated,

894
01:12:13.079 --> 01:12:17.439
exaggerative, performative theatrics. It's just
it's, uh, it's just exhausting.

895
01:12:18.439 --> 01:12:21.760
But look, is it petty?
Yes? Yes, it is,

896
01:12:21.960 --> 01:12:25.880
yes, absolutely, And that's yeah, like you get like you said,

897
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:29.880
it begets itself and so yeah,
I find it difficult to really care.

898
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:32.000
I mean, it's a part time
gig and you know, look, you

899
01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:38.920
gave Tim Moore the opportunity to uh, you know, needle you back,

900
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:45.079
so suck it up. Buttercup,
I mean arguably trying to enlist a witch

901
01:12:45.159 --> 01:12:47.560
hunt because I think these they looked
at that and they went, Man,

902
01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:51.039
that worked good on Trump, Right, let's do that to Tim Moore.

903
01:12:51.239 --> 01:12:55.439
That's I don't even know if I
described that, petty, that's evil man

904
01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:59.840
taxpayer funded orgies. Do you think
RL could not or could stay away from

905
01:12:59.840 --> 01:13:02.600
that for two seconds involving two more? No, no of course not no,

906
01:13:02.840 --> 01:13:04.840
no, no no. And that's
the thing, like of all of

907
01:13:04.920 --> 01:13:10.039
the other things that you could actually
go after lawmakers on, and there are

908
01:13:10.319 --> 01:13:15.279
a number of things to go after
the Republican leadership over. Yeah this like

909
01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:19.640
this was this one was you know, trying to essentially weaponize the court system

910
01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:24.239
against him, right, But Lauren
Freeman the da Wait County was like,

911
01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:26.880
yeah, no, we're not gonna
we're not gonna take this up. But

912
01:13:27.279 --> 01:13:30.680
he got the headlines he wanted.
So if you're going to use these levers

913
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:36.800
of government against your political opponents,
then you can't cry when your opponents use

914
01:13:38.039 --> 01:13:42.720
the levers at their disposal against you
and so No, I don't care.

915
01:13:43.239 --> 01:13:45.720
Now, maybe if he showed up
wearing like gym shorts and some car hard

916
01:13:45.800 --> 01:13:49.439
shirts or something. It's what I'm
wearing right now. Stop it. That

917
01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:56.239
was well I noticed did you hear
that? During the budget debate last night?

918
01:13:56.399 --> 01:14:00.720
Into the wee hours of the cloak
of night? I should say there

919
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:04.760
was, Yeah, there was,
uh, some some complaints and grumblings from

920
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:10.239
Democrats about people who are loosening their
ties. Uh. During the floor debate,

921
01:14:10.279 --> 01:14:14.680
I'm like, hey, have you
seen your boy from Pennsylvania up there

922
01:14:14.840 --> 01:14:19.239
who's crying about being bullied and that's
why he has to be able to wear

923
01:14:19.399 --> 01:14:23.159
the gym shorts on the floor of
the Senate. No, not on the

924
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:27.960
floor. He Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you added that. I

925
01:14:28.039 --> 01:14:30.000
was. Yeah, I was getting
there, Casey, I was getting there.

926
01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:33.000
He's got a gavel. You ever
seen Borat? You ever see the

927
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:38.319
movie Borat? Yeah? You know
that green speedo thing. Uh huh.

928
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:41.039
That's why you people were wondering,
why is you worried about flying in New

929
01:14:41.119 --> 01:14:45.199
York today? I'm presiding at the
u N So, yeah, it should

930
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:47.239
be good stuff. You're gonna wear
that? Yeah, I'm gonna wear that

931
01:14:47.439 --> 01:14:53.199
and posed for photos with the Ukrainian
president because everyone else already did give me

932
01:14:53.279 --> 01:15:00.199
a favor because you're not going to
be wearing a suit. Yeah, that's

933
01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:02.319
rough true, but could you give
me a favor and maybe give your suit

934
01:15:02.479 --> 01:15:06.439
to the Ukrainian president He apparently does
not own one and does not know where

935
01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:11.479
to purchase one. He's at war. It's you gotta it's it's a it's

936
01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:15.039
junta fashion. So right, this
is another example of being governed by theater

937
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:20.000
kids. Seriously, Yeah, I
mean this is with the Fetterman thing,

938
01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:25.520
and with this Terrence Edward thing,
it's with the Zelensky thing. That's it's

939
01:15:25.600 --> 01:15:30.479
all performative and it's it's just exhausting, and part of it like makes me

940
01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:36.560
wonder, is the humiliation of the
institution and the people who respect it.

941
01:15:36.760 --> 01:15:40.840
Is that the purpose here, because
it kind of feels like that's the purpose

942
01:15:40.920 --> 01:15:45.399
here. I really when this all
started coming out, I'm like, good

943
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:50.760
because dress codes are for adults and
children who are striving to be adults,

944
01:15:50.840 --> 01:15:57.239
and most of the people up there
don't check either box. So I now

945
01:15:57.359 --> 01:16:01.279
I can more thoroughly view them as
the whole grifters that they are right and

946
01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:08.319
the incessant violent panhandlers that they have
become. And so it makes it,

947
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:12.319
it visualizes better for me. I
guess is what. Yeah, yeah,

948
01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:15.680
no, I can see that.
And here's the thing. The deal about

949
01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:18.640
you know Fetterman crying about being bullied. People are not bullying him because of

950
01:16:18.720 --> 01:16:24.319
his disability. They're bullying him because
he his campaign, the Democratic Party,

951
01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:29.760
the media. But I repeat myself, they all engaged in a lie during

952
01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:33.319
the campaign, saying that he was
fine, he was one hundred percent normal,

953
01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:38.079
no problem whatsoever. And now you
see the guy walking around with an

954
01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:44.359
audio transcription app running on his phone
all the time because he can't understand what

955
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:47.479
people are saying. And so that's
a problem, and it's a problem,

956
01:16:47.560 --> 01:16:51.439
and it should have been disclosed,
but it was not. It was hidden,

957
01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:57.359
and anybody who asked about it was
dragged as if they are as if

958
01:16:57.399 --> 01:17:01.119
they were some sort of you know, anti disability person, and uh,

959
01:17:01.199 --> 01:17:04.239
you know, some sort of bigot. And no, you guys engaged in

960
01:17:04.359 --> 01:17:08.600
a cover up, in a lie
about this guy. That's why. And

961
01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:12.640
by the way, the disability that
he has now because of his stroke,

962
01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:16.560
has nothing to do with his ability
to dress himself, right strom Thurman was

963
01:17:16.640 --> 01:17:20.079
able to get into a suit every
single day while he you know, drooled

964
01:17:20.159 --> 01:17:24.640
on himself at the age of ninety
seven whatever. Like, If he can

965
01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:29.359
do that, there's no reason that
Federman can. I would agree, By

966
01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:30.520
the way, I'm going to switch
gears here just because I want to keep

967
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:34.560
it moving. We've got a lot
to get to. How you You've You've

968
01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:39.840
been in this business a long time, as have I, and it's not

969
01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:45.479
very often that you get that audio
cut that you're thinking about for days and

970
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:49.439
days and days and goes forever into
the system. You know. It's the

971
01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:53.800
it's the you know, the guy
who was interviewed after they found those women

972
01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:57.199
in the basement in Cleveland, right
dead giveaway, you know, the stuff

973
01:17:57.279 --> 01:18:02.199
that sticks with you forever, the
uh you know Greta right that kind of

974
01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:09.439
yea? Or Royal Majesty who was
testified the San Francisco City Council, how

975
01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:15.439
dar you? Yeah, I've got
two to choose from. So with that

976
01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:20.159
in mind, how great is How
great is f thirty five? Dude?

977
01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:24.560
Yeah? Which, But I gotta
tell you, Ross and I both came

978
01:18:24.600 --> 01:18:30.399
to the same conclusion Wednesday. We
both saw it in the afternoon and immediately

979
01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:33.399
because let's face it, you've noticed
Twitter now as a little looser on what's

980
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:36.479
there. I don't it's not a
problem, right because we should be good

981
01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:41.720
consumers. But people mock stuff all
the time and put it up out there

982
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.119
and it's obviously fake. That thing, I couldn't see a look. I

983
01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:49.439
thought it was fake. Ross said
he made it through five seconds and determined

984
01:18:49.479 --> 01:18:53.439
it was fake. So I went
through the rest of my day like that's

985
01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:57.000
so fake. I'm not even gonna
bother. And then Low and Behold.

986
01:18:57.079 --> 01:19:00.640
The next morning, right before the
show, I'm getting on my stuff together

987
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:05.680
and I'm like, that's not fake. That dude is real totally, that's

988
01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:09.600
yeah, yeah, yeah, So
I was. So I was doing the

989
01:19:09.720 --> 01:19:14.560
show when that story was first report. I forget what TV station it came

990
01:19:14.680 --> 01:19:19.520
from, and uh, And so
our news department starts running the clip from

991
01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:24.520
that news report, so they had
verified it that it actually came from a

992
01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:29.079
news story. They run the clip
and I get a call from a former

993
01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:32.800
producer who says, you need to
isolate, Like immediately as soon as he

994
01:19:32.920 --> 01:19:36.000
heard the clip, He's like,
you need to isolate that clip. Put

995
01:19:36.039 --> 01:19:40.039
it into the library, because that
one is going to last a while.

996
01:19:40.479 --> 01:19:43.199
Like immediately the first time he heard
it, he knew, do you think

997
01:19:43.239 --> 01:19:46.680
it's better with It's just him?
Or the House of Pain remix where they've

998
01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:51.920
so perfectly laid over his scream,
over that sound, that part of the

999
01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:57.000
song that you can't it's it's indistinguishable. Have you heard the Loss of Pain

1000
01:19:57.199 --> 01:20:01.640
remix? I have not, but
I feel like it's kind of like I

1001
01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:05.239
gotta believe it's like screeching a whistle, hold on, hold on, all

1002
01:20:05.319 --> 01:20:12.479
right, all right, that sounds
nice and boom, and I heard us

1003
01:20:12.479 --> 01:20:24.720
about screeching between a screeching a whistle, and I mean, what more do

1004
01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:30.880
you need for a show? But
that's it's It's sort of like when Trent

1005
01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:35.479
Resler heard Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, Yeah, and he was like,

1006
01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:38.880
that's his song, now, you
know. I think that's kind of that's

1007
01:20:38.920 --> 01:20:43.239
where we are. Yeah, yeah, that's and good for House of Pain

1008
01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:47.680
because I'm sure that like whoever's not
odeed already is probably sitting there getting a

1009
01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:50.039
check in their mailbox next week.
You're like, oh, yeah, look

1010
01:20:50.079 --> 01:20:53.600
at this, this is gonna be
amazing. Yeah, they may go back

1011
01:20:53.640 --> 01:20:57.119
on like a remainder tour. Whoever's
left, it's gonna go back on tour,

1012
01:20:57.239 --> 01:21:00.840
you know, get their like a
rebirth, like John Travolta's movie career,

1013
01:21:01.000 --> 01:21:04.000
that time with pulp Fiction. Now, will they make enough money to

1014
01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:08.640
afford a burger at Newark? Though? No, yeah, I'm not sure.

1015
01:21:08.680 --> 01:21:12.399
Not if you're David Brooks. What
a smug I hate that guy.

1016
01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:15.079
I'm sorry, man. I believe
the best part of this story is that

1017
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:21.439
he got community noted on Twitter that
Oh my gosh. Right, So he

1018
01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:27.439
goes to Newark Airport. He complains
about a seventy eight dollars meal and he

1019
01:21:27.520 --> 01:21:30.319
takes a picture of it, and
he says, this is why Americans think

1020
01:21:30.359 --> 01:21:33.119
the economy is terrible, because this
meal just costs me seventy eight dollars.

1021
01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:36.279
So he's accusing them of gauging.
Just to be clear, he's accusing these

1022
01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:41.199
restaurant which, don't get me wrong, stuff's expensive in airports. But right,

1023
01:21:41.399 --> 01:21:43.960
yeah, yeah, yeah, I
mean so, yes, obviously the

1024
01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:45.399
prices are going to be like marked
up, I don't know, thirty forty

1025
01:21:45.439 --> 01:21:49.960
percent. Everybody expects that. So
but he's got a cheeseburger and fries.

1026
01:21:50.199 --> 01:21:54.359
Oh wow, and and he and
a whole bunch of lettuce on the plate,

1027
01:21:54.479 --> 01:21:57.560
like way too much lettuce that could
have come scraped off the burger,

1028
01:21:57.720 --> 01:21:59.840
right, So I don't know what
was going on there, but anyway,

1029
01:21:59.840 --> 01:22:02.439
he so he takes a picture of
this, and people notice, Hey,

1030
01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:08.560
David, what's with the like double
maybe triple whiskey on the rocks in the

1031
01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:14.880
picture too? Why is that expensive
in an airport? Who would have guessed?

1032
01:22:15.319 --> 01:22:20.359
Yes. The restaurant then responds,
it's called nineteen eleven Smoke House Barbecue,

1033
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:25.520
and they say, looks like someone
was knocking back some serious drinks.

1034
01:22:25.680 --> 01:22:30.479
Bartab was almost eighty percent and he's
complaining about the cost of his meal.

1043
01:23:04.920 --> 01:23:09.479
you add I uh what did what
did I buy? One time in an

1044
01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:14.199
airport and I'm just about a Guinness
and I didn't check, and I think

1045
01:23:14.239 --> 01:23:15.800
I want to charge fifteen dollars for
the Guinness. It was one of the

1046
01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:21.800
big camps. And I'm just like, this is why you sneak airplane bottles,

1047
01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:25.479
which you can get through security.
By the way, Yeah, what's

1048
01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:29.600
the same thing with when you can
buy store. Yeah, yeah, you

1049
01:23:29.680 --> 01:23:31.840
go to concerts, the same thing. They gouge you because your your captive

1050
01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:34.800
audience. Yeah, yeah, they
got you. Man. You're literally you're

1051
01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:41.199
literally you're literally there under security.
Right, So right, you got you

1052
01:23:41.279 --> 01:23:45.279
got no choice in the matter.
All right, So yesterday budget Budget.

1053
01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:48.600
We've been We've talked about this to
death. I've had I've interviewed this week

1054
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:55.159
now the Lieutenant Governor Mark Walker and
the state Treasurer Deale Folwell all on this

1055
01:23:55.960 --> 01:24:00.319
and I can't get one of them
to go this is BS. I don't

1056
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:02.359
know, you know, what's what's
going on? What's going on? I

1057
01:24:02.439 --> 01:24:08.680
guess Mark to some Walker to some
extent, but but the other Walker was

1058
01:24:09.000 --> 01:24:11.760
the other two are in a position
to you know, push back on this,

1059
01:24:12.119 --> 01:24:16.119
and if Tim Moore and Phil Burger
run things, and I secretly believe

1060
01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:20.119
they don't want a Republican governor.
They just want to have this, this

1061
01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:25.399
what they have because they're they're the
ones who are in charge of North Carolina.

1062
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:27.800
You agree, right, yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

1063
01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:30.039
they don't need that. Time McQuary
showed us that, right, they don't

1064
01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:34.279
need a Republican governor. In fact, it's helpful politically if they don't have

1065
01:24:34.359 --> 01:24:39.560
a Republican governor because you can depend
raise yeah right, you can fundraise off

1066
01:24:39.600 --> 01:24:41.840
it. You that you can pick
fights with him, you can cast him

1067
01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:45.760
as the bad guy you or the
good guy, and everything becomes viewed through

1068
01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:48.720
a partisan lens. When it was
McQuary, it became more about the roles

1069
01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:53.720
of the executive branch versus a legislative
branch, and so it was it didn't

1070
01:24:53.760 --> 01:24:59.640
fit that narrative. And when McQuary
would criticize Burger and company, then you

1071
01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:04.279
know, it undermined this notion that
they were simply trying to get good policy

1072
01:25:04.399 --> 01:25:10.000
and all that a lot of the
stuff was encroaching on executive branch function and

1073
01:25:10.520 --> 01:25:14.479
responsibilities. And so it's yeah,
I have no doubt. It doesn't really

1074
01:25:14.520 --> 01:25:18.920
matter to them whether we're Republican or
Democrat wins if they keep their supermajority,

1075
01:25:18.960 --> 01:25:25.119
and they're gonna work to keep their
supermajority. You you guys, you guys

1076
01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:28.359
have how's your fanom pooper going?
Is that stuff working out for you?

1077
01:25:28.399 --> 01:25:30.720
Because we haven't seen it? Had
some more downtown issues here, Okay,

1078
01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:35.560
all right, yeah, I haven't
seen the as I call her the poo

1079
01:25:35.600 --> 01:25:40.319
pooh planter. Oh, very nice. I like it. Man. Hey,

1080
01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:43.119
one other thing, and I just
got a couple of minutes. Did

1081
01:25:43.199 --> 01:25:47.000
you see this other bill they passed
for age verification for online porn sites like

1082
01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:50.800
like Louisiana did it, and I
think porn hubs said they lost eighty percent

1083
01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:56.359
or people just used a VPN because
people are people, or turned it into

1084
01:25:56.520 --> 01:26:00.520
or you can literally turn I'm not
I'm helping kids access you and turn your

1085
01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:04.399
browser into not that make it look
like it's coming from somewhere else. Some

1086
01:26:04.479 --> 01:26:09.319
of the browsers, wait, say
that again, wait to turn your send

1087
01:26:09.560 --> 01:26:13.640
I'll send you a tutorial. No, I think that that's actually I think

1088
01:26:13.760 --> 01:26:18.239
it's a very simple thing to do
that makes it harder for kids. To

1089
01:26:18.359 --> 01:26:21.880
access this kind of material. And
yeah, I mean it's and it's a

1090
01:26:21.960 --> 01:26:27.640
very it's a very easy fix.
I think, well, yeah it is.

1091
01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:31.680
There's also the part where you know, people who may want to access

1092
01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:39.520
that are going to be very cautious
about giving a pornography site all of their

1093
01:26:39.720 --> 01:26:44.800
details. True, So, like, you know, does it become I

1094
01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:46.800
see both sides this, So does
it becomes social control? And I got

1095
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:50.000
thirty seconds on this or as you
say, hey, this is a good

1096
01:26:50.079 --> 01:26:53.199
way to go ahead and deal with
it, because now they'll have to go

1097
01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:56.079
check it out of their libraries at
school. They want to see point right

1098
01:26:56.159 --> 01:26:59.000
exactly, Yeah, yeah, exactly, get the cartoon versions. Well look,

1099
01:26:59.199 --> 01:27:01.479
this was always the case with this
kind of material, right, if

1100
01:27:01.479 --> 01:27:05.119
you would try to buy it at
a convenience store back in our day,

1101
01:27:05.239 --> 01:27:08.960
right we went into the Yeah,
you'd go into a store, you'd have

1102
01:27:09.079 --> 01:27:14.880
to present an ID. Why because
we curate material based upon age, based

1103
01:27:14.960 --> 01:27:18.319
upon maturity level. And that's what
the book band are all about. That's

1104
01:27:18.319 --> 01:27:23.279
what all of the debate is about
about curating material. Oh, Pete,

1105
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:26.359
I got a roll Man biscuit,
some porn that's the that's where you go,

1106
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:28.439
all right, thanks sir, and
we'll be right back. Hang on,

1107
01:27:28.800 --> 01:27:34.079
make the show. After the show
something iHeart Radio app. Search case

1108
01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:57.640
O Day for the podcast on the
iHeart Radio app. I would have I

1109
01:27:57.800 --> 01:28:00.560
could have respect for him if he'd
been on it from the get go.

1110
01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:05.680
But remember he gotta light to everybody
for a long time. So if you

1111
01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:10.800
don't know who liver King is,
have fun down that rabbit hole. You

1112
01:28:10.880 --> 01:28:14.760
see that video I posted at him
in front of the in front of the

1113
01:28:15.239 --> 01:28:19.560
cereal bowl I put there. No, So I posted this about maybe like

1114
01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:25.439
a month ago, and it's a
ginormous bowl, and he pours milk into

1115
01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:29.760
it, right, whole milk,
and then he puts chicken breasts, raw

1116
01:28:29.960 --> 01:28:34.000
chicken breasts in it, and then
he sprinkles coco protein powder. He dips

1117
01:28:34.039 --> 01:28:36.359
his hand in it, he mixes
it up, and he eats it raw.

1118
01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:42.159
Stop. Yeah, he says,
that's how old caveman tribal people would

1119
01:28:42.159 --> 01:28:48.720
eat with cocoa, with engineered cocoa
powder. Really, that's what they were

1120
01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:55.119
rocking with their cheetah with their cheetahs, all right, I saw it on

1121
01:28:55.199 --> 01:28:58.640
flintstones. It must be true.
So no, So the dude was like

1122
01:28:59.239 --> 01:29:01.119
he was a guy's around you just
eat raw liver, eat raw liver,

1123
01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:03.800
and look at me. I'm foul. He's at fifty something, right,

1124
01:29:05.159 --> 01:29:09.159
it's like fifty something. I'm gonna
share hold. But he's not. He's

1125
01:29:09.199 --> 01:29:12.119
not a young dude. And but
he but he's got he's got like a

1126
01:29:12.239 --> 01:29:18.039
sixteen pack, right, and it
just just ripped. And everyone, everyone

1127
01:29:18.079 --> 01:29:24.079
who does any bit of lifting is
like bad dudes on steroids. And then

1128
01:29:24.159 --> 01:29:26.600
I think, where'd you get?
He got busted on Joe Rogan show,

1129
01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:29.520
right because some other guy would called
him out straight up and it started this

1130
01:29:29.560 --> 01:29:33.439
whole chain of events and then he
had to like make the worst apology video

1131
01:29:33.560 --> 01:29:39.359
ever. But he said that he
was doing it because he was so inspirational

1132
01:29:39.439 --> 01:29:43.399
to other people or something so that
he got called out for that. So

1133
01:29:43.479 --> 01:29:46.319
he just put a video out yesterday
to announce to the world because he's all

1134
01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:48.680
about truth. What. Yeah,
I know, it's a few days ago,

1135
01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:51.119
we go whatever. He was saying
that he did a video and he

1136
01:29:51.159 --> 01:29:57.000
said, you know, he went
off steroids and unfortunately he lost like twenty

1137
01:29:57.159 --> 01:30:00.720
pounds of muscle as you do.
Like, so he's decided he's gonna go

1138
01:30:00.880 --> 01:30:03.960
back on it. He's going back
on the on the juice, okay,

1139
01:30:04.239 --> 01:30:09.800
all right, because he can't.
He was benching like thousand pounds, but

1140
01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:13.000
he had been benching like five thousand
pounds, and you know he can't have

1141
01:30:13.159 --> 01:30:15.960
that sort of accurate numbers. No, they're not okay, So anyway,

1142
01:30:15.960 --> 01:30:19.159
he's gonna go back on the juice. And he's just being honest. It's

1143
01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:24.000
gonna be because he's he doesn't like
how his Instagram is looking now, but

1144
01:30:24.119 --> 01:30:28.159
he still looks amazing, like off
it like because once you do the steroids,

1145
01:30:28.199 --> 01:30:30.279
even if you take a break,
right, you're like you're working out,

1146
01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:33.600
You're you're on, You're on the
juice, and you make these gains

1147
01:30:33.680 --> 01:30:35.800
and say you stopped going to the
gym, You're like, I'm just tired

1148
01:30:35.840 --> 01:30:39.800
as crabam over yeah where the gym
doesn't have power. Right, then you

1149
01:30:39.840 --> 01:30:42.479
go back in like another like a
few years. You're still gonna have the

1150
01:30:42.520 --> 01:30:45.880
benefits of those games. You will
gain muscle faster. Don't do steroids,

1151
01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:47.800
by the way, you not okay, because it's bad for your heart.

1152
01:30:47.960 --> 01:30:55.239
There's a ton of others because he
has lots of money. It's a miracle

1153
01:30:55.319 --> 01:30:58.159
that dude is still alive. Have
you seen like videos of him and this

1154
01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:00.760
it's like nine I posted one,
two or he's for sure if well I

1155
01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:04.399
reposted it's a video of him in
nineteen seventy six before the student. Oh

1156
01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:06.479
yeah, he's just a dude,
and he's true and he just looks like

1157
01:31:08.039 --> 01:31:11.439
he looks like you know, Terry. Yeah, he's just Terry at that

1158
01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:15.039
point. He's not whole COVID.
But like they all did it back then,

1159
01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:15.880
right, they all did, but
he having the rest of them,

1160
01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:18.960
right, and he made the most
money. So is that a coincidence that

1161
01:31:19.079 --> 01:31:23.840
he's still in he's in his seventies. He survived it and he just happened

1162
01:31:23.840 --> 01:31:25.920
to make the most money of all
of them. No, he's going in

1163
01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:30.960
and getting his veins like redone or
stuff. I mean he's doing he's doing

1164
01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:33.600
that. He's doing the stuff that
women have available to him now on with

1165
01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:38.279
cold all the sculpting. I sat
at a table not long ago with these

1166
01:31:38.319 --> 01:31:41.840
women and they were like, what
are you doing now? I'm cold sculpting.

1167
01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:45.119
I'm doing UV this I'm doing And
I'm like, is this all stuff

1168
01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:49.560
you have? Is this why it
takes you six hours at the clinic place,

1169
01:31:49.680 --> 01:31:55.880
the health place, is there anything
that's I mean, I want a

1170
01:31:55.960 --> 01:32:00.880
ticking time bomb that in twenty years
from today at the same moment, any

1171
01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:10.479
injectable or manipulated whatever short of standard
diet and exercise that somebody's done and then

1172
01:32:10.640 --> 01:32:14.039
lie that, oh I never did
that. I just worked hard like these

1173
01:32:14.079 --> 01:32:17.039
Hollywood people. Right, yeah,
I want it all to like I want

1174
01:32:17.159 --> 01:32:20.720
just green die right, like a
die pad. I mean in that part

1175
01:32:20.760 --> 01:32:24.439
of your body, and we'll know
who's full of craps like a pool pee

1176
01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:28.960
pattern. Yes, yes, like
way turning green man. Right. You

1177
01:32:29.039 --> 01:32:31.680
know how many women to be running
around their lips, their eyebrows there.

1178
01:32:31.880 --> 01:32:34.920
You kind of see it now in
photos. You'll see like celebrities or like

1179
01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:38.279
be a picture of famous people and
you'd be like, wo, how come

1180
01:32:38.359 --> 01:32:42.279
this person look so different? They
look so much older. Conspiracy theories to

1181
01:32:42.359 --> 01:32:44.920
be like dah, they ran out
of a drina chrome. But really what

1182
01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:47.239
it is is that a lot of
them stopped doing these procedures and stuff,

1183
01:32:47.319 --> 01:32:51.600
and yeah, you know, reality
catches up to you. What was the

1184
01:32:51.840 --> 01:32:55.920
what's what was her name? I'm
trying to think of the actress's name.

1185
01:32:55.920 --> 01:32:59.079
Who was the one who's like,
remember this was years ago, like she

1186
01:32:59.239 --> 01:33:03.720
was unrecognized, misable the chicken from
Bridget Jones's diary, Rene's elder. Yeah,

1187
01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:09.039
the who farted face? Remember how
like you saw the post surgery and

1188
01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:13.760
you're like, who is that?
Who is that person? Even so,

1189
01:33:14.399 --> 01:33:17.399
sometimes it goes really bad, like
Madonna. You know, you have so

1190
01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:21.800
many procedures. One of them is
about to go. Would she looked like

1191
01:33:21.920 --> 01:33:26.520
a two thousand year old vampire?
I mean she was, you know,

1192
01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:30.760
she was in character. You don't
think she was just scrunching her face that

1193
01:33:30.840 --> 01:33:35.680
way. Maybe Okay, she just
means she was like the society. Maybe

1194
01:33:35.720 --> 01:33:42.680
she ran out of Adrena chrome two. I like the casualness with what she

1195
01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:45.279
announced. He's going back on the
roy Can you imagine you have a you

1196
01:33:45.319 --> 01:33:47.000
have a big yellow Yeah, you
have a big coke habit right or meth

1197
01:33:47.079 --> 01:33:50.399
habit right, and you quit right
and you're clean from five years? You

1198
01:33:50.479 --> 01:33:53.680
know, like you know what I'm
making it. I'm going back on it.

1199
01:33:53.800 --> 01:33:57.520
I need more energy, was less
teeth right, Yeah? Because it

1200
01:33:57.600 --> 01:34:00.000
was very casual, just like guys, you know, I've lost twenty pounds

1201
01:34:00.039 --> 01:34:01.920
of muscle in like a month and
a half. I'm going back on the

1202
01:34:02.000 --> 01:34:05.720
Royds. It's for the best,
for the betterment of all mankind. In

1203
01:34:05.760 --> 01:34:10.680
the children, for the kids.
Yeah, kids want to kids want to

1204
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:13.640
see that. All right, Look, there's more natural ways to achieve your

1205
01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:17.920
goals. How many of you worry
about taking medication for anything? I want?

1206
01:34:17.960 --> 01:34:23.079
These guys, I don't like taking
medication for you know, prescription or

1207
01:34:23.119 --> 01:34:32.199
otherwise over the counter or any of
it. But unfortunately you require a prescription

1208
01:34:32.479 --> 01:34:40.000
of what is the of the viagra, okay? Or what are the similar

1209
01:34:40.079 --> 01:34:45.479
products or the generic or whatever?
Okay, no shame, no whatever,

1210
01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:48.239
that's you know, better better living
through science or whatever. Plus it irritates

1211
01:34:48.319 --> 01:34:58.439
feminists for some reason, which is
always fun. But you're worried about the

1212
01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:03.640
pharmaceutical nature because maybe maybe your your
trust in pharmaceutical companies with all the stuff

1213
01:35:03.680 --> 01:35:09.239
we saw during COVID, maybe that's
waned a bit. And you know Fizer

1214
01:35:09.359 --> 01:35:18.560
makes that so well. Good news
new alternative scientists say that a spider found

1215
01:35:18.680 --> 01:35:26.800
in Brazil known I guess they call
it it the Brazilian wandering spider or the

1216
01:35:26.920 --> 01:35:31.600
banana spider. But this is a
variation of the normal banana spider. So

1217
01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:43.279
the spider that they found in Brazil. Let's see here fo new trio nigrivente.

1218
01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:53.199
Okay, all right, that's a
scientific name. It's venom causes the

1219
01:35:53.399 --> 01:36:01.520
same reaction that the viagra causes.
Whoop, more banana, less plantain,

1220
01:36:01.720 --> 01:36:14.039
catch them adrift? Okay, little
mini plantains. That's great. No about

1221
01:36:15.319 --> 01:36:19.720
think of the thank of the most
beautiful woman in your opinion, most beautiful.

1222
01:36:19.720 --> 01:36:23.680
I understand it's your wife, but
then go second most beautiful. All

1223
01:36:23.800 --> 01:36:29.399
right, she's there, you're there, soft lighting. You just had some

1224
01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:34.479
gobblin gook or whatever Ross likes the
Italian food or gobblgol whatever. All right,

1225
01:36:34.560 --> 01:36:38.359
she just had a big old helping
of that, right, and now

1226
01:36:38.479 --> 01:36:44.520
we're on this little chocolate's dessert.
Everything's romantic, everything's going perfect. This

1227
01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:48.880
is your dream realized and nothing and
then you realize, I don't have any

1228
01:36:48.960 --> 01:37:00.319
pills, but I do have a
Brazilian wandering spider. How bad? I

1229
01:37:00.399 --> 01:37:04.760
mean, that's a hell of an
origin story. Yeah, but do you

1230
01:37:04.840 --> 01:37:09.359
have to have it bite the But
she just pulls the string and the spider's

1231
01:37:09.800 --> 01:37:14.880
falling you. Yeah, that's it. It's a lot of the canopy from

1232
01:37:14.920 --> 01:37:16.760
the top of the bed. Just
put spiders. Is why would you do.

1233
01:37:16.920 --> 01:37:19.920
Halloween's coming up, So I guess
that's the thing. That's the other

1234
01:37:20.000 --> 01:37:25.359
thing too. What if she's the
one is like, you know what,

1235
01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:31.800
this is not working, this is
unacceptable, and she just like she like

1236
01:37:32.039 --> 01:37:34.439
has a little you know, just
lets a little spider down there. You're

1237
01:37:34.439 --> 01:37:36.239
like, oh, I just got
bit. You're like, she's like,

1238
01:37:36.399 --> 01:37:50.960
oh man, oh that's terrible.
Get over here. Sidists say, based

1239
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:57.199
on this, they are going to
launch a study at the Federal University of

1240
01:37:57.760 --> 01:38:01.319
Minas Garris, which is in Brazil, coupled with the University of Pennsylvania here

1241
01:38:01.359 --> 01:38:04.800
in the US. All right,
here's the other thing you want to be

1242
01:38:04.920 --> 01:38:09.239
part. You know, we run
commercials sometimes for people to take part in

1243
01:38:09.359 --> 01:38:13.640
studies. I have a feeling they
want to get you in the door and

1244
01:38:13.760 --> 01:38:16.520
explain all the other aspects of that
first and then show you the money,

1245
01:38:17.159 --> 01:38:20.079
like it's a timeshare push. You
know. Well, a lot of times

1246
01:38:20.119 --> 01:38:24.079
like they can't tell you exactly what's
gonna happen, right because it then it's

1247
01:38:24.119 --> 01:38:26.880
like placebo. So you just like
you just kind of put it into a

1248
01:38:27.000 --> 01:38:32.680
box or something. And that's a
good point. So what's the placebo?

1249
01:38:33.760 --> 01:38:39.399
A research assistant with some with a
with a with a hot dog fork.

1250
01:38:40.119 --> 01:38:46.399
What's what's going on? Oh that
would be awful, but hey, college

1251
01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:48.920
kids needs money or something. All
right, Oh crappling at the time,

1252
01:38:48.960 --> 01:38:53.760
A forty seven race stage. It
real quick, tell us how much it's

1253
01:38:53.800 --> 01:38:58.199
gonna suck, sir? Dry today, went rainy tomorrow and to tomorrow night

1254
01:38:58.439 --> 01:39:01.520
and dry Sunday. They've ima they
found a spider. If you bite you

1255
01:39:01.640 --> 01:39:04.800
down there, it works like viagras. So you wait, Oh that's great.

1256
01:39:05.119 --> 01:39:09.560
Yeah, So that's commitment right there. I guess right, well,

1257
01:39:09.600 --> 01:39:12.560
I'm just like thinking the hottest the
hottest one, and you've ever imagined and

1258
01:39:14.159 --> 01:39:15.960
ye you know, yeah too,
death to us part right, I take

1259
01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:20.560
the zero on. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But in all seriousness on

1260
01:39:20.640 --> 01:39:25.800
the rain, heaviest rain east.
There are some flood watches, tropical storm

1261
01:39:25.840 --> 01:39:30.199
warnings closer to the coast, rain
wind storm schurche, storm surge warnings for

1262
01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:34.800
the outer banks and all that will
become tropical storm Ophelia later today. Triangle

1263
01:39:34.960 --> 01:39:39.399
more rain than the Tryad and towards
the mountains, probably none worst is going

1264
01:39:39.439 --> 01:39:42.800
to be as we head on through
probably the daytime hours tomorrow. Some of

1265
01:39:42.840 --> 01:39:45.760
the winds in the triangle could gust
maybe forty plus, so I'll be ready

1266
01:39:45.800 --> 01:39:48.279
for it. It's gonna be a
nasty day tomorrow in too tomorrow night,

1267
01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:51.479
but better as I had said Sunday
into early next week. All right,

1268
01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:55.800
thank you, sir, have a
good weekend. We'll talk Monday and Jeff

1269
01:39:55.840 --> 01:40:14.520
Ellinger's next hang on, all right, eight fifty three your Bloomberg update,

1270
01:40:14.600 --> 01:40:17.399
Jeff Bellinger, what's happening? Good
morning, Casey, Happy Friday. Wall

1271
01:40:17.479 --> 01:40:23.359
Street's bad week got a lot worse
yesterday. Major averages had losses that range

1272
01:40:23.399 --> 01:40:27.079
from one percent to nearly two percent. Could get a bit of a rebound

1273
01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:30.279
this morning. The futures have been
higher all morning. The Dow futures up

1274
01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:34.920
thirty eight points at the moment.
Apple's new iPhones and watches went on sale

1275
01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:41.159
around the world today. Amazon dot
Com out with a plan to start inserting

1276
01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:46.000
commercials into the Amazon Prime video content
starting early next year. The company says

1277
01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:49.760
the number of ads will be limited, and Prime members who want to continue

1278
01:40:49.800 --> 01:40:54.880
watching ad free content will have to
pay an extra three dollars a month.

1279
01:40:55.239 --> 01:40:59.680
The United Autoworkers strike against the Big
three automakers as a week old. Today

1280
01:40:59.760 --> 01:41:04.319
the UAW is threatening to expand the
walk out to more factories today unless contract

1281
01:41:04.359 --> 01:41:10.840
talks are making significant progress. Will
hear from UAW President Sean Faine in a

1282
01:41:10.920 --> 01:41:15.880
webcast at ten o'clock this morning.
More talks are planned for today by negotiators

1283
01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:19.000
for the Writers Guild of America and
the Hollywood Studios. The news from those

1284
01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:25.119
negotiations is rather encouraging, and the
casey McDonald's going to bump up the fees

1285
01:41:25.159 --> 01:41:30.159
it charges to some franchisees. Owners
opening new restaurants or taking over locations previously

1286
01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:34.760
run by McDonald's will have to pay
five percent of sales to the parent company.

1287
01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:39.399
Current rate is four percent, Casey, all right, which I'm sure

1288
01:41:39.439 --> 01:41:43.079
we'll pay for because that's how that
works. Okay, it does, Yeah,

1289
01:41:43.199 --> 01:41:45.239
thank you much. Okay, you
two take care. Yeah, there

1290
01:41:45.239 --> 01:41:51.960
you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg
News, Oh good lord, stop it,

1291
01:41:59.319 --> 01:42:05.680
of course, said AOC. Now
they want to do paper wine bottles.

1292
01:42:12.600 --> 01:42:15.439
It's just yeah, it's just because
they want to drink it faster.

1293
01:42:16.359 --> 01:42:23.600
But the whole thing with wine is
the snobbery factor. Right, So you

1294
01:42:23.680 --> 01:42:29.119
could have these bottles, you build
whole rooms in your house for them that

1295
01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:33.239
have better temperature control than your own
bedroom specific refrigerators just for your wine.

1296
01:42:33.399 --> 01:42:39.159
Yes, and they're all customed.
And now you want to do paper.

1297
01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:50.800
In an effort to further decarbonize the
industry, several companies have stepped forward to

1298
01:42:50.920 --> 01:43:00.239
work on the technology, including Let's
see what's the big one Frugal pack who

1299
01:43:00.760 --> 01:43:06.119
holds a patent for a rather unique
paper alternative to the glass wine. Are

1300
01:43:06.159 --> 01:43:10.960
we running out of sand? Ross? Would you? Would you look and

1301
01:43:11.000 --> 01:43:13.760
see if there's any sand left at
the beach? If l on one of

1302
01:43:13.800 --> 01:43:18.960
the beach cams or something, maybe
killed Evil Hills or maybe go to Kiddie

1303
01:43:18.960 --> 01:43:21.520
Hawk. That's sand. You know, those dunes are kind of Is there

1304
01:43:21.560 --> 01:43:25.920
any sand still there? Do we
have any sand? Yeah? Let me

1305
01:43:26.039 --> 01:43:28.039
check it. We do have sand. Oh, we do have sand.

1306
01:43:28.159 --> 01:43:30.920
Okay, but just a little in
a really little bit right right. Let

1307
01:43:30.960 --> 01:43:33.279
me check on this. We have
tons of it. Hell, if you

1308
01:43:33.319 --> 01:43:36.760
went to the beach this summer,
there's probably a bunch in your car just

1309
01:43:36.840 --> 01:43:40.479
floating around in there, because you
know how that works. I hate sand.

1310
01:43:40.600 --> 01:43:44.600
It just gets everywhere. But it
also makes glass bottles that you could

1311
01:43:44.640 --> 01:43:49.399
put wine in, and windows that
you can see out of Do you like

1312
01:43:49.560 --> 01:43:53.520
windows? I know you don't drink
wine, but do you like windows?

1313
01:43:53.640 --> 01:43:56.640
I am a fan? Yeah?
Do you like glass bottles of other beverages?

1314
01:43:57.159 --> 01:44:02.560
Oh? Okay, Plus, you
got all that leftover bud light glass,

1315
01:44:05.239 --> 01:44:10.119
so you could you know, can
use that. And finally, an

1316
01:44:10.199 --> 01:44:16.960
Iowa man is charged with drunk driving
after authorities say he was racing ambulances that

1317
01:44:17.279 --> 01:44:25.520
were lights activated emergence making emergency runs. Yes, that's right. Upset over

1318
01:44:25.760 --> 01:44:29.800
being passed by an ambulance, the
man decided he would race the ambulance.

1319
01:44:30.520 --> 01:44:32.560
And he didn't just race it.
Once he raced it. This is at

1320
01:44:32.600 --> 01:44:36.479
two in the morning, and then
they thought he got away, and then

1321
01:44:36.560 --> 01:44:41.920
he went and then the police found
him trying to race another ambulance. I

1322
01:44:42.079 --> 01:44:45.960
mean, feasibly, you should be
able to win, right, Yes,

1323
01:44:45.079 --> 01:44:47.920
the ambulance is going to be exceeding
the speed, but they're not going to

1324
01:44:48.000 --> 01:44:54.720
exceed what is still a safe speed, whereas you are making bad decisions,

1325
01:44:54.800 --> 01:44:58.000
sir. So if you didn't beat
the ambulance and it doesn't say who won,

1326
01:44:58.119 --> 01:45:02.640
which is a big downer, you
probably should be able to pull ahead.

1327
01:45:04.039 --> 01:45:06.560
I don't know, I don't know
how to RaSE ambulances. I just

1328
01:45:08.079 --> 01:45:12.600
never something I did there. All
right, have a good weekend. Everybody

1329
01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:13.319
see him on it.
