I remember, all right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is
six o seven eight. Now, dude, I read the story yesterday and
I laughed, and then I just reread it again so I could do this
story, and I chuckled again. Because art or something, we wait to
hear the debate going on in the city of Palm Springs, California. All
right, excuse me. A couple of things you need to know about Palm
Springs. I mean one, California obviously, but I don't know they got
you know, they got some cool stuff around there and deeper in the valley,
or some good golf courses. Palm Springs itself is kind of it has
It has a very high percentage of LGBT population. In fact, I think
for a while the whole city council was gay. Now I'm pointing that out
because you need to understand the players who are arguing here. So the City
of Palm Springs City Council and arts community decided that they wanted to put up
a sculpture, which I think in a time when when we tear down so
many things, Yeah, you're you're rolling the dice here. The memorial would
be an AIDS memorial sculpture, and let me describe just what you're supposed to
do at the sculpture. The sculptures named by the name by the way,
Philip K. Smith put together a design for a nine foot limestone sculpture for
the Palm Springs Downtown Park, which resembles a donut with ridges on it.
The opening at the center is an is about eye level and allows one to
view through the donut with ridges on it, kind of looking ross. You
ever tied a balloon knot? Ever? You ever like put some balloons together
for the first So you tied that balloon knot you know what I'm saying,
where the rubber gets all cringey and has ridges on it going down to a
central point. So anyway, you stare through this thing that looks balloon knot
ish, kind of like a doughnut with ridges on it, and then you
view through the whole in the middle, and that allows one to offer a
connection, a sense of hope, a view beyond of what is directly in
front of you. And the sculpture promises the abstract piece will provide great beauty
and provide the opportunity for reflection and remembrance. So yeah, so you would
show up to the sculpture, which looks, you know, like a donut
with ridges on a big circle, but coming to a ridged, small opening
right in the middle, almost balloon nish in nature, and then you would
peer through the hole, not the front hole, but the back hole,
right is that That's what the directions were. You would go then to the
back hole and view the future or something through that, and then that would
be your connection. Well, I can't imagine what the problem is. I
can't understand, uh, you know what some of the folks are upset about.
You know what I think we need to do rossa button bar. I
believe we need to solve a mystery. Whatever. Could a big chunk of
the population be upset based on the description of that sculpture, the you know,
the donut with the ridges going in and internal with the hole on the
back, the back hole which is almost resembling balloon knot of some sorts.
I can't figure out any guesses, any guesses what the problem might be.
Let's we got our assault. I know it's early, and it's it's more
challenging to solve the mysteries this early because our brains are not all the way
on what could possibly it's a giant butt. They the sculpture is not just
a butt. It is a very specific portion of said and they want a
giant nine foot one of those that you go peer through. Is that the
most California sculpture you've ever heard in your life? And what is the what's
the thought process there where we're to receive enlightenment staring down the chasm of that?
I have so many questions. And even in a town that is chock
full of moonbats, even in a town chock full of moonbats, apparently a
good chunk of them. Also, don't want a giant goatsie memorial or whatever
that is. There's an old school reference to the internet you shouldn't look up.
However, a local group of residents say, the proposed memorial looks like
none of those things, but rather a graphic depiction of the backside of a
human being. Should we really have an AIDS memorial that looks like, you
know, that part of the body? Oh? Man, what a what
a great state in the sense that all this is, this is what you're
going to fight out things about because you live over in Palm Springs. It's
pretty swanky, pretty swanky. Not a lot of problems in the world if
you have a lot of money, which most of these cats do. Oh
you know who lives? Ross didn't our old, old old? I don't
think how many iterations ago? Oh m isn't Didn't he end up down there
after we went to like Portland or something. Yeah, I think that's where
he moved to. Yeah, oh man, I got a text him about
this. Yeah, I think he lives because I need to. I need
to know what the what is it? They say? Now? What the
tea is? I'm so hip. I watched a YouTube video. But yeah,
yeah, so now it's a town divided over over that, all right.
I don't know why I love that story, due I do. Ironically.
The statue is directly adjacent a twenty six foot all Marilyn Monroe statue erected
in twenty twenty one, and it's the famous scene from the Seven Year Itch,
which I can understand why a big chunk of the population wouldn't like that
one either. But that's a different thing, all right. Six fifteen k
c O Day radio program hang on Smart Talk all Day, four five w
PTI in the Triad and one uh six one FM Talk in the triangle.
All right, good morning six twenty here on the k CEO Day radio program.
Wow, some of you are able to solve the mystery of what the
sculpture looks like. And you're sending me emails I have to delete now,
So thank you for that. You know, in a in a town that
is chock full of spinmeisters, right you have till you have like debates or
something. Then you go to the spin room and they have these these trollish
people whose job is to simply stand in there and almost recreate what was simply
just said by a candidate, or sometimes to coach politicians who find themselves in
a spot of trouble so that they can so that they can properly obfuskate what
is going on and to save their hides. And they're very you know,
so they're very good at it. Look at the Clinton's over the years.
Man. It's a lot easier with willing media, of course, But with
that in mind, somebody who's been in Washington thirty years, you think would
have access to some some people who are real good at lyon. So I
gotta tell you, when I see Bob Menendez having you explain hundreds of thousands
of dollars in cash, car gold gold bricks with that he had literally had
stamped with a Senate logo in some cases, and he's just kind of got
it all and there's fingerprints on it of people. They're literally saying, he's
connected. I mean, you're gonna need somebody who's really, really good at
this. So they consulted whoever they consulted, and this is apparently what they
told Menendez to say. For thirty years, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars
in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and
because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba. What I look,
I understand keeping an emergency amount of cash. I think most people I
know that are, you know, have the financial ability to do it,
tend to keep keep some cash on hand. You never know. We had
an issue with US Bank a couple of months ago, and for like a
day and a half, nobody could access their account. You know, if
if if in that case that was your only bank and you didn't keep cash
on hand, you be kind of screwed. Man. So I get it,
I get it. I don't get that, what does he mean his
how old was he when he came here. I mean his memory of Castor,
I believe is predicated on what is relatives told him. And don't get
me wrong, I think that has an impact. I think for anyone who's
had to h who has maybe first generation family or family members they have that
have come over from you know, you know, maybe the Balkans back in
the day. They do things a little different. But you ain't in Havana
anymore. And that's the best you could come up with. I think the
dude with the cash and the freezer had a better excuse than I remember that
Castro guy, and I didn't want him to confiscate all my dubloons, right
so, and plus when you when you're doing gold bars and you're you're stamping
them with vanity stamps and you don't wash fingerprints off, I don't know that
that's gonna look real good man, especially with how long you've been in the
Senate and how much money you've seemed to acquire, especially this this money which
is super off the books, bus. I mean, you don't even split
it up, you keep it all together. I don't know what's going on
ross, what do you choose to hoard in it's not as tech gold.
Right, that's the one that's the only commodity you avoid preferably. What if
happens if you stamp as tech gold, you reef formulated, and then you
put your own seal on it, you know, I try to avoid that.
That's the whole point. That's what I'm saying. That's the one commodity
you tend to avoid. But could you take it, melt it down,
stamp your own logo on it, and then it's no longer as tech gold
or once touched, always as tech No, I mean once touches, it's
done. Okay. What about Egyptian artifacts that'd be good to hoard, right,
like Lake sarcophaka Sarcopha Kai, you know, any sort of small statues
that are in a boy's tomb. What about curse mummies? Well, what's
in the sarcopha guy? Then? If not curse mummies? Yeah, and
you especially want one where they're like, why is this logo upside down?
So it appears some sort of religious reasons and not good ones. You can
hoard those, but good old American currency that tends to be the go to.
So I appreciate Menendez branching out in his effort to thwart Castro's efforts of
them robbing sitting senators New Jersey home and or Washington DC residents. So yeah,
I'm sorry, man, I don't think anyone's buying that. Nobody's buying.
Oh, accept Dick Durbin. Let me tell you, Dana, this
is a very serious charge, There's no question about it. But it bears
reminding us of what I've said about the indictments against Donald Trump, equally serious
charges. These are, in fact indictments that have to be proven. Under
the rule of law, the person who is accused is entitled to the presumption
of innocence, and it's the responsibility of the government to prove that case.
I said that about Donald Trump, would say the same thing about Bob Menendez.
He can say he said that about Trump. But you can also go
back and if somebody had a nice thread yesterday with all these times, he
didn't say that. Look, if Benendez was smart at all, he would
have gone to consult whatever the Biden's due to funnel money, because that seemingly
is a little harder to find. Although there's a lot of records, a
lot of records showing a lot of payments distributed, but you know, really
putting a face to that not so much so. But that's that's the best
they come up with. I want to know how long that strategy session was.
How long did Menendez sit there with his advisors and Bengalis and and try
to come up with all Right, I'm gonna tell him, I was scared
of Castro. I'm more terrified if if I was to have large chunks of
gold without a good origin story, who are you more terrified to have it
confiscated under some of the seizure laws that we have agents of Castro coming to
America and conducting this operation, or our own US government because they pulled you
over and said, well, you have a lot of money your gold on
you. We think it's drug proceeds, and then they just take it immediately.
What are you, as an American citizen, who do you think is
more likely to seize your money, your gold, your doubloons? Hell?
Yeah, the US government. Man absolutely said the seizure laws we have are
still a joke. And there's lots and lots of horror stories out there.
But you know, Bob Menendez, man, this was his go to because
Castro and I wish these guys would have thought of it, that are arguing
to get their dollars back. All right, six twenty eight k c O

oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good Morty five.
I saw this story yesterday and I was a little cool nervous my first
thought. So there's a doctor here by the name of Ernest Schwartz who is
in the stem cell field. He's given a given an interview and really talking
about the rapid advances that they're seeing in the field. So and of course
he is combining what he works on along with best practices. But he has
a message. He says for people around the age of thirty, maybe as
high as forty, but depending on their relative health, basically with the advances
in his field, coupled with a healthy diet and exercise, he says,
there's a bunch of people walking around right now that are going to live to
one hundred and twenty because that's where the science is. I guess maybe Ross,
you and I think have missed the boat by just a few years.
But would you want to live to one hundred and twenty? Just is annoyed
as like I can only take so much of people's crap, and I don't
know if I can, if I can suffer one hundred and twenty years.
Well, I guess it depends, like I don't want to be sitting there
in a chair doing nothing, right, you know, I don't be drooling
away, right, I know where you are. Yeah, I mean if
if you were to say, all right, so people that are one hundred
and twenty, then are gonna be like how ninety year olds are here?
Some are quite alert and mobile, where you're just like, oh my gosh,
you're in your nineties. Really, I know a couple of people like
that and others not so much from one hundred and twenty. And he claims
one hundred and fifty will be normal by the end of the century. This
is bad news for the moonbats, who are like, oh, what we
need to do is we need to kill half the half the population. Well,
this ain't gonna help. Also, then how long are you gonna have
to work. Man, do you think social Security is unfeasible in its current
form? What happens when they keep it at sixty five and people are living
to one hundred one hundred and twenty. Let's see here. The only person
officially acknowledged to have lived past one hundred and twenty thus far passed away nineteen
ninety seven. She was from France, aged one hundred twenty two years and
one hundred and sixty four days. So though some people question that and say,
maybe you're younger, but still they agree she lived past a one hundred
and twenty. I don't know, man, that's kind of that's creepy.
I suppose that that's only possible if we don't get emped do all sorts of
other stupid craft to each other. So sorry, old running knows what you
gonna do. Weather change that'll do it to you. So with that in
mind, I'm sitting there reading that, going, I don't know if I
want to live to one hundred and twenty, and then I start clicking through
all these other stories and I'm like, Nah, don't worry, these government
cats will make sure that never happens. Although according to the Biden administration,
they must have solved all the other problems we're dealing with, and not just
the record day on the border, which we'll get to. Because the next
great undertaking, according to the official Biden or the official Potus Twitter account,
is concert tickets. You've probably seen the ys. There's a couple of things
that they said for some reason, I want to screw with concert tickets and
credit card points for some reason. And I saw like commercials being runs starting
last week, which are the standard political commercials. Obviously it's the credit card
companies who aren't giving their their rosiest version of what's you know, what's on
the chopping block there? Because it does have monetary consequences, But that doesn't
mean Congress should be messing with it, and let alone President Biden going on
a concert ticket a service fee jihad here. Now, don't get me wrong,
for anyone who's bought a ticket by a concert ticket or a sporting a
sporting event, to some extent, it's baffling what the ticket prices are versus
what the actual checkout prices. And that's doing large part to near monopolies by
a couple of companies, and even on the even controlling the reselling market with
fake spinoff companies. I get it. But the solution, some people would
say is people stop attending the concerts and go Now, that's enough of this
garbage. And I think there's been enough pushback that you have some artists who
have come out and said that they're concerned about it. What that actually is
translated into, I don't know has been anything significant. But this is apparently
what the White House feels we need to work on right here, and this
is one of those. This is a great example of some easy idiot bait.
Okay, this is idiot bait because that sounds good, right, because
we've all been annoyed we bought something and then all of a sudden, there's
all these other charges. Ironically, many of us have lived through it for
years and years. Every time we pay a phone bill or other utility bills.
You just look on there and you see all of these additions, and
so many of them are government. You buy an airline ticket, you look
at all the other stuff, like the nine to eleven dedication fee, the
safety fee, the so all of these extra fees, most of which are
born via the government. They are the greatest addition of service fees and additional
taxes of anything out there far and away, in my opinion, than even
the number that ticketmaster puts on stuff. Go travel, uh travel somewhere and
rent a hotel in a you know, on a tourist are to go to
one of the beach communities here in North Carolina. Go up to Asheville.
Watch out for the hobos, especially the tall ones with cigarettes. You know.
Go to one of those places, get yourself a hotel room for the
night, and then check your statement in the morning. The amount of lodging
fees that you know, local municipalities stick on to hotel bills is pretty crazy.
So these these these exist in all aspects of our lives, but the
ones that are most visible to people are these concert ticket ones because they get
a lot of They get a lot of discussion on forums of people complaining and
now and then politicians are like, well, this is a nice easy thing.
This is a nice easy thing right here. I'll go out and essentially
tell them I'm gonna, you know, in a way, get money to
them or solve this annoyance which they're never going to process and think through.
All right, So what happens if they go and tell them you can't add
service fees. What do you think happens. Let's say the ticket is fifty
dollars okay, it's a fifty dollars concert ticket to some band you want to
see, and then after you buy the ticket, it's seventy two out the
door, okay, and there's a ten dollars fee, five dollars fee convenience
fee for doing it online, which is like, who is it more convenient
for me or you? The company not having to have a person, living,
breathing person help me out. So let's say that that ticket is seventy
two dollars, and then the Biden administration comes in and they say, all
right, new executive order, which I'm not sure how it would work,
no more service fees on tickets. Yet there's still the profit motive that the
company has. They're still going to be the fees associated that the venues charge,
which sometimes are included in those ticket. Well, most of the times
are including those tickets, So that's a separate issue. What do you think
happens to the price of that concert ticket? You think it's a fifty dollars
ticket anymore? No, not a chance. That's to say they're going to
charge you seventy bucks for the ticket. That's just going to be the face
price of the ticket. And then behind the scenes, however, that money
is split in the ticket pricing. They'll just they'll figure out that division,
and then that'll be the promoters contract and the ticketers contract, because these are
separate. You got promoters, you got the ticketers, sometimes the same,
but you know, they all have a little piece of this, and they're
also going to get their money, and the buying administration is going to do
nothing except drive up the fee of the tickets, and ironically, they're going
to drive up probably the resell price of tickets because many times when you resell
a ticket, you know, there's an ebb and flow. For these big
companies, they want to get the high prices for a high demand, but
they also don't want to just throw away a bunch of tickets. So they're
going to price accordingly tickets a lot of times based on face value. So
they're willing to eat some of the fees because they've made money on the other
tickets. As you get closer to a thing, So yep, my administration
is working to crack down on these junk fees, so you know what you're
paying for up front. Well, I know what I'm paying for when I
go to check out, right, they don't. It doesn't say that fifty
dollars ticket, I'm gonna charge your credit card that it tells me. And
I have to see that number, and I got to make that face and
go, oh, these two tickets fifty bucks apiece and it's one hundred and
four eight dollars. I gotta pay. And then I can go no,
screw that, or I can hit the button, close my eyes and not
watch the alert pop up on my phone because it's too depressing. But hey,
that's what we're going to be doing, all right, we got a
little border update. We set a record. Also, you have Democrats in
Texas getting on the bus thing man. Yeah, yeah, they're getting all
aboard what evil Gray Gabbott and de Santists were doing. And then you've got
you know, the mayor up there in New York who's saying things that immigrants
rights groups are not happy about. And it's pretty interesting how everything is changed
as this problem has now been expanded into all of these previously protected but welcoming
communities. So U and apparently they tried to claim a piece of us yesterday.
Serious, Oh yeah, planet a flag and everything. Details coming up.
Hang on one oh six one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI,
two stations driving the best end talk. This is case O Day and
Carolina's Morning News. So to say that Sunday was a heavy lift for US
Customs and Border Protection would be an understatement. In fact, it was a
record breaking lift. According to a Border Protection Sunday, in a twenty four
hour period, officials dealt with over eleven thousand migrant encounters on the Southwest border
in a twenty four hour period, the single highest day in modern memory.
Eagle Pass passed through on its own handled four thousand. So Eagle Pass,
Texas very very busy border crossing, but so as areas. You know,
they're in California as well. But eleven thousand in one day, I'll let
you do the math on an annual basis if that was to become a sustained
number. In fact, I'll make it easy so you can do the math
in your head this morning. Let's say it's just ten thousand a day,
three hundred sixty five days. Now, all you've got to do is add
some Zeros and you start to get a handle on this, and that is
why in some cases even democratic politicians are getting in on the bussing. Democratic
mayor of El Paso, Texas says the city has reached a breaking point with
keep in mind, the breaking point of El Paso is many duplicate times that
of what New York has taken. In New York has screen poverty. So
now the mayor of El Paso says, we're at our We're at our limit.
They're seeing on average, two thousand migrants per day that are taking advantage
of shelters or resources offered in the city of El Paso, but thus bringing
them into you know, the city limits. There. The city of El
Paso has only so many resources. We cannot do this, said Oscar Lesser,
the Democratic mayor. So the city of El Paso themselves has chartered buses
and is shipping migrants to New York, Chicago and Denver. Wait, now,
I guess what does this talking point turn into now that you have Democrats
doing it. Recent polls at sixty two percent of Americans are unhappy with the
way that the administration is handling the border, and the other thirty eight percent
are in a coma, I guess, or just partisan pieces of crap who
wouldn't be honest until bus loads showed up near their house. I've been getting
spy reports too from people this morning on the some some bus loads who may
have come to Greensboro over the weekend. Let's see here he has several emails.
Here here we go so Kenn Road. He says, yes, I
saw several bus loads of immigrants. But well, I guess how did you
know? But he said they were being processed, Oh, near a shopping
center. Is it it's a vacant shopping center or are they using it as
housing? Maybe? All right, well, I'm not gonna say where that
is unless somebody has a little more definitive information. But you're not the only
one to tell me that, okay, And I wouldn't be surprised. I
mean, obviously, the ones that are gonna get the headlines are gonna be
like New York, Chicago, San Francisco due to the hyper political nature of
all of that and how nasty that fight's gotten. I mean, those are
the ones going to get the big coverage because they're screaming bloody murder. Meanwhile,
in Greensboro, when people raise concerns about maybe the conversion of an old
school to house primarily soon to be adult men, solo travelers, or any
of this, or what we saw under cover of darkness under the Obama administration
where they were shipping people to North Carolina and didn't even bother to tell the
governors. Well that's McCary claimed that nobody contacted him, and I tend to
believe him on that. I think the FEDS would just be like, now
we're the Feds, will do whatever we want. So yeah, yeah,
it's not just the big cities, it's it's lots of places. In fact,
uh, Desantists and Newsome, I guess, are going to debate on
Hannity. I don't even know what that's gonna look like, but you can
guarantee because Newsom wanted to Santists investigated and like arrested for the Martha's Vineyard thing
and some of the bussing stuff, so they can find it out. It's
gonna be a busy week for that. In fact, we got a debate
tomorrow, the second Republican debate. Donald Trump will not be in it.
Ross you all ready for debate party time viewing tomorrow huh getting all that together?
Getting Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not hearing you properly in my headphones,
getting the palm palms? Broadcasting from a tunnel or something? Is it
you think can the audience here? Do you think maybe it's being read?
You know, I want them to I want them to hear this because I
don't want them to miss it. If yah know, I'm pretty sure broken
up everywhere? Oh wow, Okay, well that's not good. Only seven
candidates have met the criteria for the second Republican debate. This will be it'll
be at the Reagan Ranch and Semi Valley or the Reagan Library. So there's
that. I saw. I saw a bunch online. Uh, And I
think they're running ads on Twitter maybe. And it was that contest to go
to the debate with run de Santists and I guess have a nice seat and
then get to hang out with him and stuff. It's not that it's run
de Santists, it's that how does that sound like a good time? Does
that sound like a good time to you? Or maybe it's just because of
the business we're in where I'm like, that just sounds like harder work.
It's a pain that's a pain in the butt man. And what's he is?
He gonna go over his answers with you before and be like, oh,
so what do your think? So? And again it's not because it's
fun to stand it. It's like, I don't I I wouldn't want to
spend a debate with any of these guys. Are gonna be on edge.
Man. I heard you get to sit next to Bobert though. Really,
how dark is the theater? It's very so dark? Is it pitch black?
Oh wow? Okay, but anything could happen never, I understand it.
All right, Well maybe I'll rethink my position. All right, Good
morning, everybody, and welcome to our number two here on the k c
O Day radio program. So, with the Hollywood writer strike looking like it
might be coming to an end, now the opportunity for the studios to announce
their big projects while there's still a lot of cameras point in direction of you
know all of this. They took the opportunity yesterday and one of the biggest
announced was NBC is rebooting The Office. So nothing but good news pouring out
of that. I don't know, I have no idea. I'm reading this
article. They don't give details of which actors would return, But let's face
it, Karl's not coming back, right Like, that's not that he's really
up to a bunch right now that I'm aware of, but he's probably not
coming back. Maybe you get and then what's the premise of it too?
You just pick up where you left off, where you just you gotta picked
a couple of characters and highlight it. And it's like, I can just
think of all of the different ways in which NBC could do this. And
then also in the most most woke manner, right, you just get the
women from the office and now they started some other thing and they're all CEOs
or something like. I don't I don't know. The very same executive producer
Daniels is behind it. However, did not say which stars would be there
or even what the spinoff or reboot would look like. So tis a mystery,
and I'm sure everyone's very excited about all right. So I mentioned as
part of the border insanity the flag plants. So I don't know if you
saw this, Well, what's that? All right? Thank you? So
there's video of one of the islands in the Rio Grand and some migrants who
got out to the island from the Mexico side. Even though the island is
so the island is a US owned right, it's on our side of the
river, so that is on US property. So what happened, Well,
a bunch of migrants got up on the island and decided that they were going
to claim it. This is near Eagle Pass, Texas. On video,
you see them hoisting a flag. I've seen it described as resembling a Colombian
flag. I think it looks more Venezuelan, but you know, that's just
me. But either way, obviously, if they're leaving either of those countries,
I don't think they're claiming it on behalf of Columbia or Venezuela. But
also that doesn't work, Okay, you can't just go and grab and now
the difference is we claimed an island, but it was an island that emerged.
This is not an emergent island. This is a known island. It's
got a name, it's on the you know, it's on topographical maps.
It doesn't count. The one that we claimed for the show was the one
that emerged off Point Hatteras, which we were the first to call ours.
And then you know, the Feds. They're like doubts ours, and you
know, they got the power of the guns, so we didn't get our
island. And then they named it what Sandy Island or something, just stupid.
But now these cats put up a flag and everything, and it worked
for about ten minutes. It worked. The Nation of Venezuela Stand or Columbia
Stand or whatever they were putting together lasted until apparently they have they have a
quick react marine tactical squad within customs and Border protection, and they made pretty
busy work of the flag. The no, you don't get to come here
and claim land. And I saw people, I kid you not on Twitter
talking about this. Who are these open borders? They hate everything that any
any anybody with white skin happened to do during the exploration days. And don't
get me wrong, there's lots to hate man. Of course they were not.
It was not just European countries that were conquesting during this time. You
should you should see the ebb and flow of the African continent, which obviously
does have a European colonization history, but was basically a warlord of Thawn among
various tribes and groups of people. There not to mention folks from North Africa
who were conquestioning to parts of Europe the Asian conquest Japan, I mean,
took over China. Come on, and you know all these things were going
on, but only ever reminded of this, and so they're like, they're
like, good, it's a little taste of your own medicine, America.
And I saw a couple of those hot takes. Is it? Is it
a Let me ask you a question, just see if there's any differences here.
Ross. Would you say that the European conquest manifest destiny in the eventual
settlement of the entirety of the North American continent, much of it by the
United States of America, which you know exists to this day without yielding back
land. Would you say that that was a more successful endeavor than six migrants
with a quasi Venezuelan flag on a mini island which was immediately taken by a
guy's in a rubber boat, which would you say is technically a taste of
our own medicine and how it played out, because I feel like one was
more successful than the I've looked over the facts that you've laid out, and
I have decided and determine in certainty, Yes, that the American manifest destiny,
if you will, it was more of a success. Oh wow,
okay, are you basing that on total land acquisition? Expect me economic revenue
from said piece of land. There are several factors I see, okay,
because that looked a little less successful to my eyes. But I look,
I wasn't here for the American Revolution and the eventual settlement of the whole content,
you know, continent. I've seen some stuff, but I got to
watch these idiots with their flag yesterday, and it did not go well.
I mean, to be fair, they didn't have Andrew Jackson. They didn't.
But there's also like the island's not big enough for much of a march,
you know what I'm saying, Right, So if you tried to relocate
people from one side of the island to the other, I was gonna say,
not only does it run the risk of it but over but they'll be
able to still talk to each other with a slightly raised voice. Well,
I mean, that's another thing we had in our favor. Right. So
we weren't on an island. We were on a land mass, so we
wouldn't tip over them being on an island, it could tip danger. But
it is case one is a land mass and one is an island. Yeah,
completely different, Yes it's one. Lady. She's just like, Oh,
isn't it funny? How how all of you white people deal with it
when it's brown people planning flags on your land? And I'm like, you
remember that there were groups that did try to deal with it like that.
It just didn't work out because numbers and stuff and technology and and you know,
just the reality of the day. But how you would compare those two,
I don't know, man, I'm not one hundred percent sure. The
irony, of course is since already in the US they didn't process those micrants
who were trying to plan they literally tried to come take our country. And
you're just like, welcome to America. Oh we're so dumb. Seven fourteen,
Hang in your day smarter one oh six one am talking and talk five
PTI more with Casey Starts. Now, it's not my job here on the
radio to help people in the commission of crimes, but sometimes things need pointed
out. If you're planning a heist, and I mean one that's going to
take a few hours or a crime spree, you're probably better off not having
distractions or not having downtime and maximizing the amount of spree and heist time that
you're using, because anytime you're actively involved in it, there's circumstances that you
can't control. For maybe there's some cops right around the corner eating lunch and
they see what's you know you're up to where you break it into something,
So you should probably eat first, is my advice. Get hydrated, want
to be hydrated, eat first, study your schematics, and then you know,
get to work. That's what the guys, the best in the business
do. What the worst in the business do, is what nineteen year old
Antonio Murray was arrested for in Saint Louis. According to authorities, Murray decided
he was going to go on a crime spree, and he did. Let's
see here, where what all was he up to? Let me I got
the whole list here. Some of it's pretty horrible, by the way,
all right, So his crime spree began as he broke into a Saint Louis
home, struck two victims, stole a TV, tased a third victim.
Were that ross We got a taser in here raised raw wants to taste a
bunch of people. He allegedly returned to the residence, then attacked a man
again, whipped a female victim with a belt. Oh my god, I
can't read this, then retrieved a broomstick and violated the homeowner with it.
Are you catching what I'm putting out here? Yeah? They call it a
being dam with the broomstick in the in that huh that? Oh he got
beat to death in a shower. Was it with the broomstick? Yeah?
I thought it was. Oh wow, Yeah, so he got dahmerd I
guess the homeowner. Oh my gosh. I then let's see. Then he
committed several uh, let's see rob robbery assaults, burglary, smashing windows,
stealing stuff. However, while he was masked, he at one point passed
a taco stand where the owner Lily of the name of the restaurant there or
the stand, was in the middle of preparing a taco for another customer when
Murray, who was moving from one robbery site to another, saw the taco
and pulled a gun, demanding that he be given the taco, saying,
quote, the taco belongs to me now. Pointing the gun at multiple people,
grabbed the taco, removed his mask to eat the taco, and that
allowed several witnesses once Murray was eventually detained as he went to commit more heinous
crimes to you know, photo lineup be able to identify him because he had
to have the taco. Can you imagine you're on a crime spree of that
caliber. You're charged with everything under the sun, including uh, you know
force Sawdomy, which he has charged with, and your downfall is you smelled
a taco and you're like, I, I gotta have that ty because you
didn't properly prepare you gotta eat before you go on your horrendous crime spree for
no reason. Plus if that, if I was the person having that taco
prepared for and you came along right as I'm about to get my taco,
and now I don't get my taco, I'm gonna do everything in my power
to memorize every aspect and be a part of your downfall as revenge. Ross
you asked what kind of taco it was? Right, yeah, because I
can see, like you know, if I'm like if if I robbed the
vault there in downtown week Forest, Right, where's the vault. Everyone knows
where the vault is. So I robbed the vault. You know. It's
like a big endeavor, and I'm like, you know, I'm I'm escaping.
Yeah, it happened to pass. Like it depends on the brand of
the taco. Like I haven't seen Del Taco in a long time when I
lived in a saw, Like I love Del Taco, Like Del Taco is
a pinnacle of taco. Del Taco is the Olive Garden of Italian food.
Yeah, it's like Dad could right, So yeah, I ate a lot
of Del Tacos in California, obviously at late night bar clothes kind of.
You know, Del Taco. I remember it being good, but I haven't
had one in so long. I'm afraid that it's one of those foods.
When I eat them again, I'm like, what was I thinking? No
way, Oh, it would live up to the hype. So yeah,
if I'm like an escape A rubbed the vault, yeah, and I'm going
I'm focused. And then but there's a Del Taco suddenly open and wake Forest,
I might stop, Yeah, oh my god, it's a Del Taco
and take off your mask and yeah, boom, they got you the brand.
Well, I this this was independent. I mean, this is a
taco cart with a woman who's got a very Hispanic last name, so I'm
sure she's rolling out authentic masa and tacos. It looks like it was a
Cherizo taco, which were among my face fits. So not a Del Taco.
Now a Taco John's taco, which is superior to a Del Taco.
I haven't tried it. They didn't have Taco John's in Salt Lake. I'm
almost sure that they did. I don't remember it because you were you were
team Del Taco. Well you missed out. And some potato alays that could
be that could undermine my crime spree. So anyway, also, did he
wash his hands before the taco? Considering where he was coming from? You
know, perhaps there's some some hysteria issues or something there that might have to
be addressed. So anyway, he's charged all the stuff. The gun,
by the way, it turned out to be a baby gun. But obviously
when you're jamming in people's faces, they're not always going to realize that.
So he's charged with the double burglary, smashing window. He stoles some other
stuff, and he's charged with Oh listen to this. So the way it
works in Missouri because to use a firearm and the commission of it, it
doesn't matter the value of what he stole with the firearm. So even though
he stole like a two dollars taco, it's like a super felony for this
dude. Probably is he's in Saint Louis and they've got that one moon Oh
no, she resigned, that's right, but then the other moon back took
over the George Soros prosecutor. They kind of ran her from office. But
yeah, we're gonna eat eat ahead of the crime spring. Jake just confirmed
on the phone off air that Del Taco is still elite. I didn't say
it was an elite. I'm just saying that if it got into the cage
match with Taco John's, it's not going to do well in my opinion.
But I haven't inherent biased too, as Taco John's is a Wyoming institution which
extends only as far east as Tennessee. Come on, North Carolina, we
can do better with this Taco John's for everybody, or maybe a Del Taco
for Ross. Put it next to the vault, keeping you connected. This
is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one O six one FM Talk
in the Triangle. Yeah, man, I don't, I don't. I
don't know that this marriage is long for this world. Like, there had
to be some other issues going on. A Virginia man who was arrested by
TSA after officers discovered a loaded gun in his harry On bag. Where was
this Reagan National? So the downtown Washington Airport. According to uh TSA,
he was found to be in possession of a twenty two caliber pistol. What
is they going to picture of this? Oh, it's a little derringer looking
thing with the longer rounds. Yeah, I does have a hammer on it,
but it's one of those sunken hammers. I guess. I don't know,
but you're not supposed to have it going through TSA. According to officials,
the pistol was loaded with five rounds and showed up on X ray,
so they confiscated the gun and sighted the man on stage charges. However,
things then got weird as the man turned to and began blaming his wife,
saying that she packs all the bags. He doesn't do it, he doesn't
like to do it, and so she put the gun in there. Well,
now that creates us like there's two different versions because he's blaming her,
and I can't tell if he's blaming her like he thinks she's an idiot.
Whether it's you know, whether she in fact was the one who put it
in there, I don't know. But he's saying he doesn't pack anything.
He makes his wife do it, and she put it. What if she
did it and knew she at it? Do you know what I'm saying?
Like this wasn't about a whoopsie on her part putting together Because she's putting on
a carry on bag for the airport. That doesn't sound like an accident,
does it. That sounds like there's some underlyon stuff going on. She's like,
tell me, you know, tells me he doesn't like that meal,
I'll get him. Let's take a gun in his carry on and see what
happens at the airport tomorrow. Well, as you can imagine, that's you
know, he's going to catch some charges. They're not sure exactly what it'll
be. Does those tend to ebb and flow? But you're not gonna get
away scott free. According to TSA, the advice is that when packing for
a flight, pack your own bag so there are no surprises when someone gets
to our check. But I have a question, do you pack your own
bag for you married folks or is there one person who is either better at
it, more efficient at it, or crazily enjoys packing, because I feel
like that's one of those activities where I've I don't know that there's a lot
of crossover, but I'm not married, so I don't know. But even
when I've traveled with people i've been dating, I wouldn't dare let him pet
pack my bag, and I wouldn't want to pack theirs either. But maybe
I guess if you're married for twenty years, you're like, I know what
he's gonna put in there, so I'll just pack it. Roster. You
pack your own luggage. When you guys go on and you go traveling,
we have the same bag, but we pack our own stuff. So you
just get one big suitcase, giant suitcase. Because you know, some people
roll stuff, some people fold stuff. For when I have T shirts,
rather than folding them, I'll lay them all on each other and give them
a half fold and kind of put them on top. I find that that
keeps them a little flatter. But everybody's got their own thing, so I
don't know that I'm buying that. But also it gives me the peace of
mind that I didn't forget something. Oh my god. Oh all right,
yeah, so the world famous hugs from a Hugs TV on Twitch. We
all know. He just notified me that Del Taco is opening five restaurants in
the Triangle five. I at the moment, I am that Randy Marsh meme
where he's in front of the computer. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh my god, that's not the Randy, the naked Randy Marsh getting arrested.
Wondering if it's in fact America the other one America. Man, my
vault days are over the heist. Maybe they're opening them just to keep Do
we know where they're opening them one next year house, but it's gonna be
ten stories. Yeah, no, sudden for you. I will take it.
How is Taco John's not here in Del Taco? Who's from further away?
Some would say one was more successful than the other. I mean that
could be an argument. Who has more locations? Del Taco? Never heard
of Taco John's. How have you never heard of Taco john John doesn't sound
like a very you know, Ah, Taco John like him? Taco believe
his name? I believe his name was one Okay, oh they changed it.
Okay, yes, yeah, it's like Chef Boyardi but but better but
better food really good? Can I all right? I can't believe I have
to do this, but I feel like there's some I feel like there's somebody's
stuff in the box for del Taco now right, because he's got his whole
minion army. Have you guys ever had Taco John's and how superior is it
to other I haven't tried it, so I don't know him. I am
open to trying it. I just never had it him. Yeah, you've
never seen down tacos. I've never seen it. What do you like best?
Do you like the ground beat? I'm not like to you like I
didn't even know there was a thing. I'd never heard of it. Oh
no, no, no, I know, but yeah, because I thought
they had them in Salt Lake. I'm almost sure they did, but maybe
it was they didn't have very many. I know they have more now,
But what was I gonna say? But if you like, what's your favorite
kind of taco? Is it beef, you know, ground beef. Do
you like carnia soda chicken or just give me some tacos? Right? I
like the ground beef, yeah, with the lettuce tomato and the sour cream.
No cheddar chap yeah, no, throw some cheddar cheese on there too,
sure alright, yeah, shredded not liquid like everything, like a taco
with everything. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great I a great stand around.
Taco del Taco is good too, So five del Tacos in the Dry
Triangle anywhere else I'm gonna have to research this, but yeah, but Taco
Taco John's. Anyone who's ever had Taco John's, I think they got my
back. That was some good stuff, all right, ste forty two?
Ray? Oh we got we got ray yet because he'll he'll talk about tacos.
No, not yet, all right, because I knew we'd be all
over tacos. But I'm probably about a minute and a half early. So
anyway, all right, we'll get to the bottom of the avillsee who's got
more locations? But eight eight, eight, nine, three four seven eight
seventy four there's another taco placed down in Texas called was at two Pesos where
they were at one time, remember the name. I thought that was kind
of man. But I like good tacos. You know, there's uh,
there's plenty of taco trucks out there. Here's how you here's how you get
me. If you're at one of the taco trucks and the one on Capitol
at that old car dealership by where you cut back to where the city where
the DT has their their lot of trucks, they have a that one's good,
and then the one up somebody mentioned the one on Brentwood by the station
that is that one's good too. So lots of them all right, Ray
stage, Weather Channel. We're having a taco discussion. Oh nice, yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah. So have you had del Taco? I have
not. Have you had Taco John's? I have not. Do you have
any taco expertise or you just it in? I do not. I'm just
phoning it in, really, I just my taco expertise is basically, We've
got one place, a lacosina where we go here and that's where I have
my tacos. Nothing special, nothing crazy, or when I make my own.
So, oh you make some good tacos? Huh? I do?
I do you know? You got to get the big flat grill and you
could put like five pounds of beef on there and chicken tacos and everything.
It's it's glam stuff. One of my favorite things to make. If we're
watching some football, although you know the season's been canceled so not this year.
But you know the Totinos that made the little bowl ones you can buy,
yeah, yeah, so ill ground up the taco beef right bill,
each one with a scoop, chop, green onions, cheddar cheese over the
top. Make about twenty of those bad boys a little hot sauced abed.
Absolutely, yeah, man, fantastic. I like them. I like when
you do nachos too. With you just take nachos, right, you just
lay them out, which is really just tacos cut up and triangle, right
yeah, and you just you just take them and you just pour everything on
top. You do like a nacho bar, and you just walk up to
and you just start pulling stuff off with cheese and everything. That's good stuff
too. We did. We do that a lot for football. We did
that actually for the first week of football. We made a giant bloody marry
bar and a assemble your own taco bar. My buddy did. Yeah,
she went all out, man, Yeah we did that. She got mad
and then she got mad because my buddy's She's like, I think a couple
of your friends are drunk, and it's like you put together a bar and
you know these idiots, So what did you expect? Yeah, exactly,
Yeah you do that, and yeah it's a mess, but either all right,
so yeah, well we'll trash talk sports when you little closer to the
weekend. Yeah, no problems, but yeah, but for now, let's
let's get some decent weather for the week and then parlay that into the weekend.
So we just continue this trend. Well, I wouldn't that much on
sunshine. There'll be some as we see this morning in some spots with clouds
and considering them out of cloud in the forecast over the next couple of days.
There's really not much rain around. I think I mentioned that yesterday.
You look at the guidance and look at one of the high resolution models,
it's clouds and spotty light rain or even some drizzle around and showers and the
mountains and other than that, it's gonna be tough to get in a range
of try a triangle a little bit seventies, though Tomorrow being the cooler day,
kind of get this north northeast breezer sort of wedged in, and even
on Thursday, clouds, load of mid seventies. Friday, we'll finally start
to see a little more sun and that's going to roll us into the weekend,
partly to them becoming mostly sunny, which allows the more pretty nicely into
mid to upper seventies, maybe eighty degrees by the end of the weekend for
some of us, So a lot of clouds, it might sound, look,
smell intimidating, but not much rain the next few days, and then
I think we're going to improve as we look ahead towards the upcoming weekend with
more sunshine around. All Right, thank you much, sir. We'll talk
in an hour. Listen to this psychopath ross you ever eat a Jack in
the box taco? Do you ever have a jack in the box talk?
I definitely have none. You should definitely never do that. It's the thinnest
talk you've ever seen, and it's so soggy dipped in grease that they deep
pride in grease. It's awful. And then some psychopaths just said that's the
superior taco. So I don't know, man, I feel like we need
to we need to swap you for a migrant who has better taco taste and
you live in Uh, you live in Acapulco. Now have fun duck anyway,
seven forty seven back in just a few the show. After the show
is on the iHeart radio app. Search case o day for the podcast on
the iHeart radio app. All right, good morning to do is seven fifty
two. Trying to figure out where these locations are going to be? Hold
on, let me look at the press release here, got into a taco
discussion. But you know what, I'm hungry, so I can deal with
it. Yeah. It just says, uh, the Do Do Doo del
Taco is tying to deal with Ram Restaurants to open five locations in the Raleigh
Durham area. Although these articles are from like February of twenty twenty two,
so I don't know if there's progress that's been made or what's going on,
and even where they'd be building them. Well, I think it's just due.
You know, authentic Mexican cuisine takes time. You can't do that.
You can't just roll the thing over to the thing and let me guess.
So they train there, they train them in what Monterey mazit Lan. I
think it's a Mexico city, is it? Oh? Wow? Right in
the heart of it. You know, I think one thing we can you
know, we got this a debate going. I I think one thing we
can't agree on is that you want your beef to be beef fed. I
want American beef fed beef. I don't want vegan grass fed beef. Right,
we can American beef, but we feed them Chinese gross snow. Okay,
So it's a generational thing. Oh did Del Taco get bought by Jack
in the bottle? Well, maybe the quality suffered if they make the Jack
in the box tacos DA's completely different. Yeah, I hope they don't do
that. So you want beef fed beef, that's American. Yeah. I
want big cows that are fed on beef eat other smaller cows. Circle of
life. Man, Well you want to have vegan beef? Come on,
ah. I think Kyle with his cherish, he just got confused. He
saw soy cheris and he thought, as was said, I am am chreizo,
and so he bought it. So that's a Mexican word joke because SOI
means I am okay, hould you just say yo soy? But yeah,
but we get confused up here. We think it's garbage food. In addition,
they claim they'll be opening not just in the Carolina's so South Carolina as
well Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Well I had no idea, but now
as old as that thing is, I don't know if I believe it.
Anthony, what's up? Tacos? Yeah, good times. Put Anthony on
hold and see what's going on with that. He had some taco Inputty wanted
to provide. That's great, all right eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four? Uh the phone, okay, so he is there?
All right, Anthony, what's up? Yeah? I said, the heck
with Dale Taco or the step Taco Johns. We need that taco truck from
that that Sonoma story. Where can you find two? All the tacos,
all the food truck. I don't know that they were two dollars. I
don't know that they were two dollars. I just kind of I just know
it was a taco, a taco truck. I don't know the one place
is two fifty for tacos. That's not out of the and you know,
Missouri's probably a little cheaper. I don't know, but you get what you
try. Jim Tacos. I need to try what Jim Tacos down there on
six courts. Jim Tacos down our six courts as a food truck, they're
really good. There are so many. Man, you drive up Kent,
thanks for I appreciate it. Sir, you drive up Capitol Boulevard and there
used to be like one taco truck and somehow the space between four forty and
five forty, it's like every gas station has a taco truck. And like
some of the people running that don't look like they were trained in Mexico City,
you know what I'm saying. So I don't you know whether that is
an authenticity because let's face it, if you go to a taco truck and
there's about a seventy year old grandma looking Mexican woman and she's rolling out fresh
massa I'm in a and she's got the you know, the metal press and
everything, I'm going to bet that that's going to be a good taco because
fresh, you know, the fresh tortillas is amazing. But yeah, other
than that, now, there's so many of them that I just don't know.
Sometimes I don't know that I'll ever try all of them. All right,
let's see here, So I mentioned that there is the presidential there's a
Republican eight that is that is happening. Seven candidates have qualified. I guess
technically eight would, but Trump doesn't win in on it. The seven candidates
Ron de Santis, Ramaswamy Hailey, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Chris Christie,
and Doug Bergham. Everybody's everybody's front runner. Doug Bergham, who,
if I guess you don't know, is the governor of New York. The
only individual not qualifying that did for the previous debate is Asa Hutchinson because nobody
nobody picks him in the polls, I guess. So we'll take place at
the Simi Valley Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and will be the second GOP primary debate,
and I'm sure that will pay very special close attention to it and report
or or Russell Us grab whatever he sees on Twitter in the morning, and
we'll pretend like recovering it. Okay, because here's the deal. Normally i'd
be like, who do you think want the debate? But I don't want.
I can't even listen to Republican primary discussions anymore. It's just gotten.
The vitriol is just so much, man, and all of these idiots out
there just you know, just smearing and spamming and all of it. It's
just so nasty. It's so nasty. But you know we'll cover because contractual
obligations and stuff. All Right, news is next hanging. I mean,
you gotta you gotta be able to back it up. I think it's what
people's point. All Right. So I'm watching this video of everybody's favorite US
women's soccer player, Megan Rapido, and uh, I didn't realize this.
So when she's entering for a match here this so this was She's played her
last for the US women's soccer team, So I think this is some sort
of promotional things she's doing. One of the Sunday leagues. I don't know,
they're showing this video of her. And it's something she does when she
walks into an arena that I was unaware of. She has in her hand
one of those two tubular bluetooth speakers, right, you know, if you
get a little bluetooth speakers, the one that looks like a you know,
like a tube and puts out pretty good sound. Although it's a very loud
arena. Apparently she blasts her own entrance music or motivational music or walk on
music or whatever you want to call it. And I can't figure out what
this song is. Ross if you listen to it I sent it to you,
are you able to determine what the hell of her song is because the
arena is very loud as well? Oh okay, all right, you just
got it. I can't. I've listened to it a bunch. I can't
figure out what this song is. And I was hoping somebody in the comments
on a couple of these tweets would know, but they don't. But I
mean, who's walking around with entrance music everywhere they go? Can you imagine
how obnoxious that individual must be. Now, don't get me wrong, entrance
musics are you know, selections have an appropriate place in sports, right from
the you know, from the baseball player who all have their walk on music,
to WWE and you know wrastlers who have over the years honed very customized
and recognizable walk on songs which for some reason have ended up in our audio
system in a big category that somebody put there. You know, of course,
uh, you know the famous warm up music they do like the bull
you know, before the Bulls game, you got that, you know,
very recognizable track as they're introducing, and they do that at most sporting events,
but they don't hear, and I feel I feel like maybe she missed
that aspect, so she thought she'd her home thing. But when you're the
one holding the speaker, it just looks so cringe e Plus, who'd want
to be around that person? If like one, I guess you always know
where they are. But I don't want to deal with anyone. I gotta
listen to him do a walk off or a walk on music prior to interacting
with them. It would just get obnoxious, one because of the ego trip,
but two you got to sit there and wait for the music. Right,
it's a whole thing. Those are quite the glasses, and I think
she's an eighties ski instructor. Is the jacket she went with? So all
right, I can't figure it out, We'll retweet it. If somebody can
figure out what the hell that song is, I'd be very interested, but
who who gets? Yeah, the amount, I'm just I keep going back
to ego, but I'd be embarrassed, man, just be embarrassed. I
feel like, if you're gonna have a walk on music, it's others should
play it for you. You can't play your own walk on music, like
on a boom box, right, especially like a professional sporting event. No
there, you know, if you're the baseball player this, the guys in
the sound booth are running that. If you're a wrestler, the guys in
the sound booth are running it. It's part of it. Like Marianna Rivera
didn't show up, you know, at the mound with his own boom box
playing Enter Sandman. Yeah, yeah, wild thing, didn't you know?
Like Charlie Sheen didn't make his way from the dugout holding a boombox, and
you know, all of Cleveland sang. I saw it on the documentary.
Have you ever considered having your own walk on music? Cross just anywhere you
go in the studio, roll into a sales meeting, go talk to you
know something the sales department, to even go to the kitchen to get make
tea. Right. I had an intern that used to follow me around and
do that to Sean Michael sexy boy. Oh really, yeah. I was
like, dude, you need to stop. So that was the pick with
Shawn Michael sexy boy everywhere you went. Do we have that in the system.
I don't know that I'm familiar with the thing we do. Oh wow,
okay, I mustn't missed that era. So this this was, this
is back when you were doing music radio. Huh it's over a decade ago.
Oh okay, good. She calmed it down coming into the news section
there, all right. So yeah, she's got her own. If you
could tell me what the hell's she's singing or what that music is, I'm
curious, but I'm not that curious unless it's something dumb. But you know,
hey, maybe it is. I am so mad. I still can't
figure out where these del tacos are going. This has become my it's become
my mission this morning. As horrible as that sounds, all right, you
want to hear something horrible, of course you do, because you know,
if you need one more thing. It's a growing online trend that has resulted
in the injury or death for a quite a few folks worldwide. Do you
know what the Blue Whale Suicide Challenge is got a word challenge in there,
gotta have the challenge. Do you have you heard of the blue Whale Suicide
Challenge? And if you haven't, just based on the name, what do
you think that is? Blue Whale Suicide Challenge? Is it like you're gonna
you're gonna you're gonna kill yourself, but you're gonna do it Jonah style?
Right, It's maybe it's not. It's actually much more awful. This following
discovery by police in Portugal of a thirty five year old victim. I think
he's in American. I know he's a dual British American citizens in Portugal.
Well, anyway, who police say, we're taking part in the online Blue
Whale Suicide Challenge game. He also there was a twenty six year old man
described as a British national turned himself into authorities following the incident. And here
is how it works. Here is how it works because I had to go
look it up. Basically, the challenge works like this. It originated,
according to authorities, in twenty fifteen. It was aimed at teenagers online and
has resulted in the death of literally dozens. The way it works is you
take the challenge, you're at the end of your rope, you don't care
anymore. Whatever. And then but the challenge was that if you did this
and this is how you chose to do the go through the process, there
could be there could be money. But maybe you're you're you're surviving family members,
get I mean, this is dark saw stuff right here. And then
fifty increasingly difficult and dangerous tasks, all involving self harm take place over the
course of fifty days. So you might cut yourself, you may have to
shoot a nail through. This is a thing. And on day fifty,
players are required to kill themselves to win the challenge, which I'm not sure
how that sounds like winning. But whatever. Labeled the Blue Whale phenomenon or
the Blue Whale Suicide Challenge, some people have even been prosecuted in the past
in Russia, the United States, UK, and Portugal. Previously, according
to police, three men and two women were taking part. It looks like
the description is not great. It looks like in this case they feel that
some of the people they're talking to, they were with this dude, were
helping him through one of the challenges and inadvertently stabbed him to death. So
I don't know exactly what that looks like. So they were filming all of
it too. Who is what is happening? Oh? It's my music?
But what? I can't comment until it's over, but I need I might
have to take a break down. How lot? How lot? How wrong?
Is about about a minute left? What do you mean? A minute
left? Every time I talk? Now, I have played music, but
you talk a lot? You can't, right, I'm ready to comment.
I'm ready to comment. Yes, that's a good point. What which one?
What's the good point? I've now forgotten what the hell I was talking
about because I had to listen to a minute and a half of that.
Well, no, I need to start over. No, you go just
clarify. Is that the music she was playing too? Wow, that's another
good point from you. Every single meeting, we go to meetings. So
my interned play that and I was like, dude, you need to stop.
It's inappropriate. So you would, so, yes, he he would
play the music and he would flash the lights on and off in the in
the in the conference room. Right right now, you got at the strobe
effect. And then if it's yourn, it's it's an. It's like it's
annoying because then I have to walk in and like I just can't walk in.
Yeah, I have to strut into the room to match the music.
It's like it made me uncomfortable. But he kept doing it. Oh you
should see Ross Flexen two. It was something. It was something. I'll
call it that eight seventeen. I need a shower. Hang on, thank
you, j in the triadem talk in the triangle. All right, good
morning, It's twenty two here on the k c O Day Radio Probe Ram.
So'd you find me? Okay? So Ross is ris since Ross has
a walk on song? Now because Megan Rappano has some walk on song.
Oh, by the way, somebody says they know what it is. Hold
on all right, Daniel, Uh so you know what the rappin a walk
on song was? What is it? Yeah? So last night I didn't
really pay any attention to that video. I was scrolling and I was like,
man, my colleague Colkin looks a whole lot better these days. And
I just kept scrolling. And so then this morning I heard you describing it.
I went back and look at it. I kept listening, it kept
listening. I can only pick out like two words, but the Google food
came in. Good. It's by Nipsey and Nipsey and Hustle and the song
is called Hustle and Motivate. I think Nipsey Hustle is just the one name,
right, Oh, okay, away, what's it called. It's called
Hustle and Motivate. Hustle and Motivate. All right, Well, look you'd
want, you know, motivate. I like it. Yeah. Yeah,
I mean I guess I guess if you're gonna yeah, I guess if you're
going to be arrogant, I guess you need to motivate at the same time.
So yeah, well, I mean, look at right, did you
not hear Ross's walk On? You want to talk about the height of arrogance
man flexing and strobing and stuff. But you know, if you can't beat
them, join them, all right? So we went to the well here,
so what it says? So I asked you to pick Casey walk On
and you have Casey walk On one through three? Why is there three on
the button? Bar am I supposed to you can choose? Technically, don't
you already have one with the top hour music? Right? You know?
But technically that's corporate, right, you know what I'm say, is it
really? I mean, they do own the rights to the show. I
need something that's personal to me. I mean, so you know, we
got this this big music library. So all right, well we'll see.
Let's see what everyone thinks. All right, So here's Casey Badass walk on
one. No, dude, the kids love the Bahama five? How old
is this? They love it? Dude? They love it. I don't
have any dogs with me. It's just me, man, all right,
so I'm gonna go with I met a no on that currently. But you
know, let's let's listen to the field here. That's the top gunball scene.
It's a classic. Dude, Do I gotta spin a volleyball while wearing
a two tight board shorts? I mean, I think you can pull it
off? Can I high five a guy and then smack him on his butt?
Okay, well that's a low five as well. Uh, I don't
know, I don't I'm kind of on a no for that as well.
And love say he decided to make Thomas to us the solid as Bara song?
Why is this even still? In this so soulful? You know it's
Ashford and bastardizing their song to worship a president. I can feel that in
your plums, feel that. Oh yeah, you know what, I don't
need a walk on songs. So let's just you know, if you do,
if anything, can I have that, because let me tell you,
if that's the case, it's gonna be quite the show. And I'm gonna
need We're gonna have to hire some dancers as well. So and then feed
him Margarita's for six hours and you know, just see what happens on the
streets of spring Breakathon. All right, eight twenty five, here are the
case here day radio program. Yeah, I'm gonna vote no on who let
the Dogs Out? Solid is Barack and the top gun homeo erotic volleyball scene.
I mean, we could get more, but we're limited by our choices.
We're we have a music directory that takes five minutes to load. Yeah,
but we're only allowed to like a certain amount per show. So so
you get a limit. That's not my choice. That's you get that,
and I get that. Just so we're clear. The one thing is I
think they're they're both great do yeah. Okay, well, well I'll give
it a think. I'll get I'll think about it. But but don't be
hopeful, all right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Oh dude, all right, we'll get in. We'll get into that story
here just a little bit. So there's a little video, a little video
game kerfuffle over one of these professional video game teams. Some some folks noticed.
All right, let me flip over to uh, let me set this
up just because we're a little tight ag about a minute fifteen on this.
So we got a NASA story I gotta get into and whoopsie. So while
evs are all the rage with automakers right now, a little problems emerged the
Harris Ranch Supercharger, which is a huge Tesla supercharger site which sits on this
resort style ranch between San Francisco and Los Angeles. They got food there,
They've made like a food haul. They've got all the charging spots and for
people who are driving between San Francisco in La, it was placed to be
that recharging point so that people with evs and Tesla's can make the trip with
a simple recharge. In the middle, it includes the largest bank of EV
chargers in the world at nine the eight spots, so yeah, it's quite
the destination. And quite popular with electric vehicle owners. Except there's a problem,
little something that people just becoming aware of that I guess they didn't think
about, which is now caused quite a stir. I'll tell you what it
is after the news. I one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle
and there's talk ninety four five WPTI in the Triad than ever, Right,
I mean, what are some of the pride I don't know what the prizes
are? Do you do? You know what some of the top prizes for
the biggest video game teams is. It's not chump change, right if you're
if you're in some of these professional leagues, Like people make a full on
living professionally playing video games, don't they. That was my understanding, So
you know when you're in the Championship series. I mean, obviously I'm not
talking about just on Twitch. Obviously there's people to make money there, but
like doing these competitive events. I mean, one of the big ones is
in the Triangle, right for how am I spacing the name of the game?
What's the big Battle Royal game? Fortnite Fortnite? Yeah, uh,
I'm sorry. I still play Fortnite. Like I remember reading some of the
moneys that were being offered there for that tournament. You win a few of
those tournaments, man, you're living large, doing okay. And they got
divisions for everyone, including the league championship series. One of the better ones
who in an effort to highlight some of the various teams is, including the
women's teams. They they got together and did a series of you know,
sit down interviews, you know, like where the kind of go and they
talk to everybody, ask what their favorite games are and what do some of
the changes mean, and h they interviewed one of the women's teams here to
celebrate girls division of the league and the diversity that's in there, and uh,
you know they're they're pumped those uh, those female competitors. They're so
pumped in fact that strangely enough, the Video Game League putting out the videos
quickly repost of the videos and in some cases limited commenting on them or hid
many of the replies. Now, why do you think that is ross?
Do you think it's because people fundamentally don't want to see women in video game
tournaments? In his mail? What did you just accidentally hit a button there?
Or were you trying to play your walk on music or I'm so busy
in here, dude, I can't even come in, So you don't give
me it's man's Oh man, Well that sounds like a clue. Are you
saying because I didn't get a chance to watch it all the way through?
Are you saying that some of the women are tall? Oh? No,
not again, give me it's man's Oh it is man. Those are all
dudes, right, maybe not all of them? How many? How many
transgender crossover players are there in the video game industry? And you know,
here's what I kind of understand. Is it right to put men's divisions in
women's divisions separate? I mean, you're just playing video games. You're not
throwing a football, you're not dunking of basketball. Am I a horrible person
for asking this? I mean, why do we separate? I don't understand
why there's a separate division in sports? To me, that makes new sense?
Right. Well, I remember seeing a study where they talked about how
men generally have quicker reaction times and that therefore aids them. And then they
did that one event with the top women's team against not a top guys team,
and it was what's the term with the bath with the red stuff.
Blood bath, Yes, it was a blood bath. And then like somebody
got really mad because it was around gamer Gate stuff, which I'm not going
to revisit all on here. But then they were it was bad science,
even though they were just measuring reactions of people, and but feasibly should you
you know, you probably shouldn't have everyone in a different division anyway. But
then, of course what happens when you don't separate and that study does turn
out to be accurate in some way, shape or form, and when they
list the top twenty players in the country or whatever, it's all dudes,
don't know what is the the shape shift is. I don't think that's their
Christian name. Is the first person being interviewed uses she her pronouns and plays
for teams Serenity or something. I don't know, but yeah, there you
go, little little video game news there. I haven't even looked to see
if Kataku's weigh in on it, but this sounds like something right up their
alley, man, right up their alley, all right? Eight eight eight,
nine, three four seven eight seventy four. So I mentioned the Harris
Ranch Supercharger, which is this this resort style super charging station's got a one
hundred charger, ninety eight chargers, they got food, they got little hotels
and stuff. And for people with electric vehicles, you want to make the
trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco, it's right there, right there in
the middle, right because it's about six hours to drive between those two cities,
So you know when you get about three hour boom right in the middle.
Well, imagine how horrible all of these ev people felt when they realize
that the Central California charging station, which has been such a big hit,
actually is required to use a diesel generator to provide the electricity to power the
power station so that people could compower their electric vehicles. And now they're outraged
that the power was being produced through the use of phospiph I have a question,
are where do people who have electric where do you think the power comes
from? Are you that intellectually divorced you don't stop for a moment to wonder
how the power was generated. It's never crossed your mind that when power going
to an electrical socket that you then plug your car into has to be there
and get there. It never crossed your mind for a moment that it could
be via traditional means for power generation, be at fossil fuels or some of
those rivers, the river ones you don't like with the hydroelectric because the fish
ladders, they're they're stupid, they don't work. It's never crossed your mind
when you pull up to that plug that's in the Mary is it Marryott or
Hilton's Marryott or Hilton Who's got chargers? A lot of the They have chargers
a lot of their hotels now, so if you're staying there, you can
charge, which is fine. But do you think that that hotel has a
separate solar grid somewhere to power your EV or do you think it's just power
that's coming in on the main power The only different it's what this is.
Not only do they draw power from utilities, they also have to have this
separate source of power because of the amount of power draw there is. So
they've accomplished that through the use of a diesel plant, which is essential,
you know, essentially a diesel generator, but much bigger to power the whole
facility. Now they're demanding changes. A little of this is about the pile
on because it's Tesla's name brand. So pyleon elon must But if you think
that all those chargers out there are just running on you know, rainbow farts
and you know other such magical things, I would I would, I would
tell you to read a book or something. They got a bunch of other
beefs on there, but that's the main one. Yeah, But they're just
shocked. They're just shocked to find out that's how that happens. Crazy stuff,
all right, race Agic Weather Channel, Hey man, Yeah, but
it's like, where did you so you plug into a power socket? It
never crossed your mind that that power may be generated in traditional manners? I
mean, which crossed my mind? Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's generally
what I think. Even if I had a solar vehicle, I wouldn't be
so delusional right now. The truth is, I mean, we'll get there,
I mean, but that's not now sure. And there are but there
are some charging stations that strictly do run on solar power grid. It's kind
of part of the feature, and you could find those if you want.
But the ones that are just at a gas station, the ones that are
at a hotel, even the plug in ones that sit along the city streets
are like over by the police station and Raleigh. They're just hooked into the
Raleigh grid folks, Right, It's just that's how that works. So anyway,
that's your house too, right, Yes, yes, you're manufacturing it.
You know, you put one in the garage like people do. Yeah,
that plugs into your power and your electricity. It's just all right anyway,
So we get to play. You have to play the Patriots this weekend,
right, we get to play the Panthers. Should be okay, I
mean what about that other team, Bill? Who who are they playing?
Oh, dude, Bill's gonna get destroyed Ross Dolphins. Oh yeah, no,
I did not feel good about that game at all. It's gonna be
bad but a little little down. And are they playing the Dolphins? Yes,
they Dolphins at one o'clock. Yeah, well, it sounds like two
two of us have a win and probably one of us don't. Don't.
I don't know what I saw last week. I don't know. I don't
know why the game is gonna be a one o'clock in the afternoon game.
Any to move that game up because it is like that should be like a
game like that's again, people are gonna want to watch. I don't.
Oh, I want to watch that game for sure. Yeah, I'll have
that on the secondary TV because Vikings Panthers around at the same time, and
then the Cowgirls are in the afternoon. You gotta play the Patriots into England.
I you know what, you know who I'm rooting for in that game.
I made a decision. Here you see Elliott Stadium collapse. Oh okay
or Zeke Elliott. I thought you were gonna say, but hey man,
that's that's for you. So you guys have all right. So with that
in mind, yeah, let's we got a ways to go. So what
are we dealing with during the week man? Yeah? And not much is
really going to change the next three days mainly cloudy. There'll be some sunny
times and areas in the morning hours there'll be a little fog. Uniform Champiatures
will probably stick it in a little bit seventies through Thursday, so between seventy
and seventy five or highs lows close to sixty or some upper fifties around,
and then Friday will start a little bit of a change with a little more
sunshine and then partly to mostly sunny into the weekend, which will help us
maybe get to the mid to upper seventies. So it's a pretty benign week
weatherwise. All the rain and thunderstorms down along the Gulf Coast and down in
South Florida where they could see three to five inches of rain, and previously
mentioned Miami, so there is some heavy rain around, but really there's not
much else going on across the nation. It's up the Pacific northwest where there's
rain. Tropics. I haven't touched on that yet this week. A couple
of systems out there. Philippe is gonna stay away from the gost mainland and
probably eastern Bermuda at another invest area ninety one l back behind that most likely
steers clear the US East coast also, but you know, still some time
to go in the tropical Atlantic, and we'll see what happens over the coming
weeks and next couple of months. Yeah, all right, well, I
appreciate the update, sir, and chat tomorrow. Okay, yep, there
you go, Race Ajack from the Weather Channel. Jeff Bellinger joins us.
Next hang on smart talk all day five w PTI in the Triad and one
oh six one FM talk in the Triangle. All right, eight fifty three
year Bloomberg Update now Jeff Bellinger, what's happening? Good morning, k see
major A stock averages ticked a little higher yesterday, but that may have been
one and done. Futures are lower this morning. DAL futures down one hundred
seventy points at the moment. Most American households have spent any of the extra
cash they managed to stash away during the pandemic. A study by the Federal
Reserve finds the richest twenty percent of households still have some of the money they
saved, but the rest have less cash on hand now than they did before
the pandemic began. The economists surveyed by Bloomberg News do not think the US
will avoid a recession, though they think the economy will get through the rest
of this year without a downturn. The thinking among most experts is that a
recession will begin sometime in twenty twenty four. In artificial intelligence, chatbot will
be getting a new talent. Within the next couple of weeks. Chat gpt

a new option for wireless phone customers. The giant retailer will offer prepaid plans
with Mobile x Casey oh, okay, all right, well, thank you
much, Jeff, appreciate it. We'll talk to Barroser sounds good. Talk
to you then to have a good time, all right, yep, Jeff
Palinger there, Bloomberg News, all right, we're gonna rapid fire a few
stories. This is mind boggling. So the thirteen lowest performing schools in Baltimore
high schools which we're received over the last two years a significant cash infusion from
the federal government so that they could do better. A total are you ready
for this one point six billion dollars in federal additional federal moneys in an effort
to bring up test scores there. So that was partly the initial two year
program. The results are in of the schools who are identified as needing help.
So we took part in this thirteen Baltimore high schools ross. What percentage
of the students the high school students do you feel past the State of Maryland's
math proficiency exam of these thirteen schools? So you got hundreds of students in
each school. They all take the math exam for sophomore and senior years,
so half of them. So still what you know, thousands and thousands of
students. What percentage do you think we're deemed to be proficient in math out
of these thirteen schools. I would hope that at least like fifty at least
half, but probably ten mm lower than ten slower. It's lower, I
mean the bars. Yea, it's lower. Five. Yeah, that's lower.
Shut up, that's just a little bit. Two, that's a little
bit a little bit lower. The otel guy in reverse here one zero.
Yeah, that would be zero students at the wow. Yes, according to
the state test results, zero students. Not just zero percent where it's like
you rounded to it, but zero students at thirteen Baltimore high schools tested proficient
in the state math exams after receiving not just regular funding, but in additional
one point six billion from taxpayers over the last two years in it that was
directed to bring up math and reading scores. But strangely they say that about
forty percent of the money seemed to go to other stuffs. They're gonna need
more money, you know what. I was just thinking that because one point
six billion just isn't enough. On top of whatever they're normal fight you got
zero. You didn't even have one savant somewhere in the mix. By the
way, the scoring works like this, it's out of four points for the
four different sections, and you're a proficient there and you have you can pass
with a two. So if you get two points, you can pass.
Three points, you're doing pretty good. If you get four, obviously you're
very very good at it. But you know three, between two and three
is the average among State of Maryland high schools. These thirteen schools, the
high the ones that are were in a lot of trouble. We're able to
get zero students. Seventy five percent of the students did get a one,
and then twenty five percent got a zero, So they produced zero proficient maths.
Callers even with an additional one point six billion. But no, Ross
is write more money. And I didn't even get to my Gator story.
So we'll roll that into tomorrow's show. But yeah, yeah, more money,
that's the answer. Absolutely bottom
