1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.080
My voice, sound it fine,
and then start talking and it's like,

2
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:08.240
nah, clear your throat, loser, all right, So good, good

3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:13.519
Thursday morning to you. Glad to
have you along. And I hate,

4
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:25.519
I hate that I have to open
a show like this, but I you

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.359
know, I try. I feel
like one of the responsibilities that we have

6
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:37.600
is if we get it wrong,
own it. Okay, Now we may

7
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.799
own it in a somewhat comical way
like yeah, I'm dumb, it's early

8
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.759
whatever, but you have to at
least acknowledge if if you mess something up

9
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:56.200
that way, even if you're you
know, jokingly acknowledging it, people know,

10
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:03.240
hey, this is wrong information.
Here is the correct information. How

11
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:11.319
much better would our news ecosystem be
if everyone was willing to do that?

12
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.840
And I'm on the commentary side,
right, I'm on the side that allows

13
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.400
you the freedom, with the knowledge
of the audience, to go out and

14
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.560
obviously you don't have to shoot right
down the middle. You can have an

15
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:34.599
opinion that's talk radio, but the
very foundation of what you're talking about you

16
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:42.599
can't mess that up. And yesterday
I messed it up. I'm not even

17
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.400
gonna Rosamon, I'm gonna throw you
under the bus. The responsibility lies with

18
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:57.640
me, although I am a little
surprised you didn't catch it. So yesterday,

19
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:04.200
February seventh, we did. We
did an entire three hour show,

20
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:12.159
and I failed to acknowledge the anniversary
of something that you know, frankly,

21
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.400
is one of those things that's just
falling out of favor and knowledge with the

22
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:27.919
younger generation, and it's unfortunate.
Yes, I failed to acknowledge the anniversary

23
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:38.560
yesterday of Japan's brazen attack on Pearl
Harbor, and I I sure about that.

24
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.319
I am paused. Did we mention
it? Do you want? Do

25
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.919
we do? We need to go
back here and listen to the entire party.

26
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.840
I listened to the whole podcast.
You are correct, we did not

27
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.639
mention it. Thank you, thank
you. We did yesterday being the anniversary

28
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.000
of Pearl Harbor, we definitely did
not mention that. Yeah, February seventh,

29
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.560
nineteen forty one, the Empire of
hands United States at Pearl Harbor,

30
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.000
leading to our entrance to World War
two. Some would argue that that's what

31
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.039
FDR won is. Once again,
I'm not so sure about that date.

32
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.120
Okay, well, look you know
what it's speculation that FDR let yeah is

33
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.240
it really well, I mean,
that is it's a theory that's out there.

34
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.759
Reading right here from Yahoo News is
Spectator Index. Quote on this day

35
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:31.719
in nineteen forty one, the Imperial
Japanese Navy Air Service carried out an attack

36
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.759
against the US military of Pearl Harbor, leading to the US leading the US

37
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:42.159
to enter World War Two. It's
right here from Yahoo News is Spectator News,

38
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.479
which is kind of their historical tab. I guess if you will see,

39
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.240
because I've been alive for several decades
on this planet, I don't know

40
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.919
if that date is accurate. Were
you alive on February seventh, nineteen forty

41
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.360
one? I was not? Okay, well, I mean neither was I,

42
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.639
which you know probably contributed to our
inability to remember this and comment on

43
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.199
this. I mean, is that
not a day that will live in infamy?

44
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.800
It is? It was specific day? Yeah, yeah, calendar,

45
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.560
I'm not really sure if it's in
February though. Are you with nineteen forty

46
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:25.839
one? I mean quibbling with Yahoo
apparently? Yeah, you don't think nineteen

47
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.519
forty one, I'm not, but
that day, no, the year was

48
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.240
oh wow, okay, all right, so you do agree? Okay,

49
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:38.439
thank you? So we missed this, We missed this yesterday and all right,

50
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.040
all serious, how the F do
you? And there's theories. The

51
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:54.000
theory is that somebody use you scheduled
a tweet and instead of this is what

52
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.759
they're saying. And I'm gonna explain
why this is bs here in a moment,

53
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.160
Uh, they're saying, well,
somebody accidentally scheduled schedule to tweet and

54
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.639
they left the one off, right, That's what they're saying. There's oh,

55
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:14.800
we didn't mean to say February seventh. We meant to say December seventh,

56
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:23.120
but those but there's different years.
So I guess when you're keying it

57
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.079
in, I don't know that.
Or you have people that are stupid working

58
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:32.079
for you, or people that are
young. How many have we had?

59
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:39.759
How many times we had this conversation
where you have people who are writing and

60
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.160
and look, it is the inevitability, right as things get later and later

61
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:51.199
on the calendar and the people who
were actually alive at that time become less

62
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:57.920
and less and eventually there's no more. Right, it wasn't It was not

63
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.800
that many years ago when the final
World War One veteran died. I remember,

64
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.160
I remember seeing that story a few
years ago. So as we get

65
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:12.360
further and further from World War Two, and we couple that with what we

66
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:19.519
know about, how many people are
being educated on this. I don't know

67
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:24.600
if I buy your Twitter thing.
Plus, this is your little side grave,

68
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.439
you know little on this day in
history, part of your news service.

69
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.240
So something tells me you're not stacking
your most seasoned reporters. I was

70
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.279
going to say, you could possibly
blame AI because you have these AI stories

71
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.480
that are just sometimes the errors are
just hilariously wrong. Right, But one

72
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.519
thing AI tends to get right are
dates. Yeah, number of heart facts

73
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.360
and stuff. Yeah yeah, But
I mean you got a whole generation.

74
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.879
Where was it? What was it? Was better than fifty percent? I

75
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:59.279
can't remember underwooch age that didn't know
about the Holocaust, Remember that horrible staff.

76
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.839
So if you know about the Holocaust
and you don't know about World War

77
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:09.240
two, I suspect you don't know
anything about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

78
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.879
I saw a stat yesterday which was
staggering. It was talking about when

79
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.560
it comes to gen Z over twenty
five percent don't believe the Holocaust ever happened.

80
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.839
I'm sorry the what they don't,
well, at least they know about

81
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:29.759
over twenty five percent it was fake. And but again I thought it was

82
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.639
when you get younger, there's this
much smaller percentage that even know about right.

83
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.959
So like so either they don't know
about a portion of well no,

84
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.480
no, no, But I was
gonna say of a portion of that group,

85
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.720
whatever that portion is, sixty percent
that actually know about it. Like

86
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.480
when you say twenty five percent think
it's fake, they have to know about

87
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:56.079
it first, which means it's actually
a significant number. More so because like

88
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.160
if they don't even know what you're
talking about, that's one thing. But

89
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.920
these are folks claiming to know what
it is and and have dismissed it,

90
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:13.199
So that's crazy. Rather than comment
on why they thought February seventh was it

91
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.199
and some of the speculation about oh
well I was a date missed in a

92
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.319
you know, a little something we
plugged into a you know, tweet deck

93
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:31.399
or you know, one of the
social media handling things. Yeah, yeah,

94
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.240
they really didn't be like, oh
are bad. And then I thought,

95
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:43.279
well, maybe maybe they're getting their
info from Joe Biden. He seems

96
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:50.279
to be having some trouble with historical
perspective. So I mean, there's that

97
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.879
theory. Ross. You saw that
he talked about another dead leader he was

98
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:58.960
having a conversation with. No I
missed it, oh because because he was

99
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.039
talking about the French a few days
ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

100
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.720
all right, a new one.
Yes, yes, Helmet. What is

101
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:16.480
this dude's name? Helmet Cole,
the former chancellor of Germany. And that

102
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.120
dude when did he die? He
died in twenty seventeen. But he was

103
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:28.879
talking about spending time with Helmet during
his first foreign trip as president in twenty

104
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.480
twenty one, and he actually he
talked all about it at a fundraiser in

105
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:41.039
New York yesterday. Yeah. Even
NBC News wrote an article. The headline

106
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.679
reads. In his second mix up
this week, Biden talks about meeting with

107
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:52.879
dead European leaders, previously referring to
Francis Mitterrand, who died in nineteen ninety

108
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.120
six. That would be the French
ghost. Ross is referring to former French

109
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:07.440
president. Then talked about his twenty
twenty one visit as his first European visit

110
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:16.840
as president and spending time chatting with
the former German chancellor, who again died

111
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:28.840
in twenty seventeen and last held office. It's been a while, but I

112
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.840
mean I know that it's a rabbit
hole according to the White House, But

113
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.679
that's two in a week, right, That's that's too ross. Are there

114
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:48.559
any former world leaders that you tend
to seek advice from, such as the

115
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.000
former president? Well, first off, what you have to know about Biden

116
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.279
is you got to let that go
a he has stuttered, but he spent

117
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.000
to a lot of places where you
just passed a week alone. How many

118
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.840
places has been here? So KJP
was saying yesterday personally myself, I was

119
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.440
recently speaking to Gorbachev. Oh he
agrees with a lot of your points,

120
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.720
so does he? Well that's probably
not what you got to understanding though,

121
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.360
is I've been to Wilmington. I've
been to uh oh yeah, I've I've

122
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.000
been to Sneed's Fairy. Yes,
I've been to I've been all over the

123
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.679
place. So back off, man, Wow make those three then? Obviously,

124
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.159
who am I to argue? Listen, man, I've been to Omaha,

125
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.559
Yeah, no you mentioned that.
Yeah, I wouldn't go right now,

126
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.000
a little cold there. But so
there I was talking to Yelson,

127
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.799
right, yeah, Well I that
it was Gorbagshaw and he was like,

128
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:37.840
oh my god, I love I
love the alve Guarden. I was like,

129
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.480
dude, me too. Back off, bro, I've been to Salt

130
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.559
Lake City. Which one did the
pizza Hut commercial? Was it Yeltsin?

131
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.879
I think it was Gorbachev? Yeah, it was Gorbio with the with the

132
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.840
was that with the cheesy bread,
like the cheesy crust? He went,

133
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.759
he went to the he went to
Pizza Hut. I think it was just

134
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.039
and it was. Remember it was
the good pizza Hut. Yeah, a

135
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.519
great pizza Hut. Yeah. Yeah, back when it was like a sit

136
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.639
down dining experience. Now you can
still look, you still get a pizza

137
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.360
to go, but if you were
going to go, you had the Remember

138
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.759
the brown little overhead lamb I too, I remember the lighting, I remember

139
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:13.440
the salad bar. I remember the
red cups. Yeah, oh it was

140
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:22.720
amazing. So anyway, so you
and the two folks leading the USSR following

141
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.120
the breakup, we're at Pizza Hut. Is that what you're telling me?

142
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.799
Or Olive Garden? Which one was
it? Didn't you say you were chatting

143
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.879
with Paul Pott the other day too. Ross. Ross is very busy when

144
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.960
he's not here, so listen,
man, I've been to Rotterdam, New

145
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.000
York. Okay, I've been all
over the place. Do you know where

146
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:46.559
the back? I mean, you
can't just invoke a European city. I

147
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.799
will say Rotterdam, New York is
a bit different than than the other Rotterdam,

148
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:58.240
Yeah, a little different, like
it's really much nicer. But the

149
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.159
issue of me talking to dead people, it's it's not an issue because I've

150
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:07.000
been places. But according to KJP, uh, how do you get the

151
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:13.759
how do you get the Pearl harbor
wrong? How how does that even happen?

152
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.519
And and is it still a rabbit
hole? I mean I'm assuming that

153
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.840
KG. I'm assuming that Jean Pierre
doesn't want to hold her presser today.

154
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.559
By the way, the Rotterdam and
the one in the Netherlands is super boring.

155
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.440
Just let me just say. But
they have like bridges. They're very

156
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:39.559
happy about case your case you're wondering, like, oh, look at her

157
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.559
bridges, look at look at a
look at how we conquered the sea.

158
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.240
They love Uh that's if you ever, if you ever go to the Netherlands,

159
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.279
they're very excited about that. You
go to Belgium, very excited about

160
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:58.360
that. They look at our dykes, and it's it's pretty impressive. I

161
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.240
guess if you're going to nerd engineer
stuff. But I don't even know where

162
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.840
Roberterdam, New York is, so
I'm a bad American. But I also

163
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.720
didn't know we missed the Pearl Harbor
anniversary, So what are you going to

164
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.240
do? All right? So there
you go. That's our mea culpa is

165
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:20.200
we kick things off this this morning. All Oh, dude, So my

166
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:26.440
buddy, my former roommate, actually, dude, he sent me is when

167
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.919
I lived in when I first moved
to Minnesota, actually had a roommate and

168
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.960
we've been we've been very good friends
since then. So but he's really not

169
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.080
a political dude. So it's kind
of when he sends me something, I

170
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:48.360
pay attention. And he sent me
this thing, and I'll admit, I'm

171
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:54.320
like, this has to be fake
news, you know, nothing, nothing

172
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.919
bad. It's you know, he's
just he's not somebody who's super news oriented,

173
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.720
which I'm I'm a little jealous every
now and then. So I thought,

174
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.320
ah, somebody sent them something.
We can't be real. So I

175
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:13.759
looked into it this morning. It's
real and it has to do with the

176
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:22.000
the presidential primary ballot up in Minnesota. Wait till you see who's on this

177
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:31.000
thing on the df Now they just
for your for your reference. In Minnesota,

178
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:39.320
the Democrats are called the DFL.
It stands for Democrat Farm and Labor,

179
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.200
but that's that's the moniker they go
by. So if you ever hear

180
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.000
any news out of Minnesota and they
say DFL leader, I mean, they

181
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.919
use it exactly in the same way
you'd say Democrat, but that's what it

182
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.559
means, and their primary ballot is
interesting, to say the very least.

183
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.320
So I'll share that nugget with you. And again, sorry about the Pearl

184
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.279
Harbor thing. Thank you Yahoo for
correcting us. Glad you're on it.

185
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.039
Glad you're on of Facebook's fact checkers. All Right, we'll be back.

186
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.960
Hang on, we got we gotta
do an extra show because it's a stupid

187
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:15.840
leap here. Good morning. Uh. I don't know why it took my

188
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.960
brain, so I guess maybe because
I was looking at I was checking out

189
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:23.519
the uh you know, the uh
Pearl Harbor anniversary stuff on the calendar.

190
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:29.080
I forgot it's a leap here this
year. So it's not just the fact

191
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.200
that the last you know, because
the last paycheck is the last day of

192
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.799
the month. But in reality,
Ross, we have to do an extra

193
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.919
show because the twenty ninth is a
Thursday. Did you sign up to do

194
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.320
an extra show? I didn't.
I mean, we'd still have a Thursday

195
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.600
either way, right, So yeah, but they would then, but we

196
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:49.200
would be hurriedly on our way to
the end of the year. So right,

197
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:55.159
it would be March first, but
we would then be moving closer,

198
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.559
whereas in this case we're kind of
sold out, and then Friday we kind

199
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.519
of pick up where we normally left
off. That's an extra show in my

200
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:06.240
book. So I mean that's good. I mean I'm hourly, so I'm

201
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:11.720
getting paid more. Well, yeah, but you still like if I know,

202
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.359
it suck to be salary though,
all right, But like if I

203
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:15.759
picked a random day that you had
off, and I'm like, hey,

204
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.839
buddy, why don't you come in. Don't worry, We'll pay you for

205
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.680
eight hours. I know it's your
day off, Why don't you come in?

206
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.119
What would your response me, I
don't feel but I mean that Thursday

207
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.440
would be there anyway. It's just
it's the middle of the week. All

208
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.319
right. Well, you know what
you're not you're not gonna be part of

209
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.240
my I will say this. It
was last month Lincoln and night we were

210
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.240
playing video games or something. We're
just, you know, hanging on the

211
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.319
couch. Yeah, middle of a
weekend. And if you don't know my

212
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.759
son Lincoln is autistic, He's just
sitting there being very quiet, focused,

213
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.319
and out of nowhere. He goes, this year's a leap year. There's

214
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.000
an extra day in February. And
I'm like, is it and he goes,

215
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.960
yeah, he goes, Chris and
what I can't remember which sat him,

216
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:56.440
but I can't remember which on he
said, but he's like, Christmas

217
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.759
is on a Wednesday or whatever it
was. Yeah, that's why I wouldn't

218
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.720
quite And I'm like, I can
literally the day of the week from like

219
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.039
years ago, right, And I
looked it up and I'm like, you're

220
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.440
right, buddy, of course you're
right. He's really good with dates and

221
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.480
calendars and stuff like super weird.
Like if you were to ask him like,

222
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.240
hey, what day is you know, Thanksgiving going to be on or

223
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.759
what? Just name a holiday,
he'll give the date, the time,

224
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:26.519
and he's always right. So so
he agrees that this can't stand. I

225
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.039
think he'd be excited about it.
Oh all right, well yeah, well

226
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.799
it isn't anomaly. So if you're
really into dates, anomalies are probably your

227
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.559
thing. Is that why Pear Harbor
was like a whole two months off?

228
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.519
Is that does have something to do
with it? Maybe not to defend Yahoo,

229
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:42.240
but there has to be a reason, right, No, no,

230
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:48.880
no, no, So the the
speculation is that the person scheduled it and

231
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:55.880
instead of writing twelve seven they wrote
they forgot the the one, so they

232
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.640
keyed it in, which actually makes
sense the way that like who's suite and

233
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.119
tweet deck and work right, you
go and you go through and your schedule

234
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:08.640
all the you can literally schedule and
roll things over. So that's that was

235
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:15.839
the theory. Pearl Harbor orthodox or
something. It's not like some weird Jewish

236
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.000
Uh. That was nothing to do
with that. No, I don't.

237
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.920
It's a horrible error. Well who
knows. I mean, that's that speculation.

238
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:30.880
Maybe they just have somebody really stupid
working who didn't didn't bother just oh

239
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.400
it's February seventh, right, I
mean if that's the case, I'd be

240
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.880
shocked. Yeah, obvious, Yeah, no, no, no, no,

241
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.599
it's pure nonsense. That I'm spewing
right now, speaking of nonsense.

242
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.079
All right, you're ready for this. So my but my buddy in Minnesota

243
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.400
is like, bro, have you
seen what's going on with the uh with

244
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:55.559
the primary ballot? And I'm like
no, no, do tell and and

245
00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:00.160
then he texted what it was,
and I for a moment. He he's

246
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.160
a smart dude. I'm just like, he's got to be wrong, got

247
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:08.599
to be wrong, but he's not. So if you are voting in the

248
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.319
Minnesota primary, which what is the
day, I know early voting is going

249
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.240
on already because they have like super
early voting there. Do you remember that?

250
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.240
But I don't remember which date is
their actual primary. It doesn't matter.

251
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.640
If you're voting, and you're voting
the Democratic ballot, or as they

252
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:33.039
refer to it in Minnesota as the
DFL ballot for president, one of your

253
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:41.720
choices. In addition to Joe Biden
and you know the folks you expect to

254
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:49.400
see on there, you can also
vote for Sank. I can never pronounce

255
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:59.200
this dude's name, Uger the You
know him as the moron who hosts The

256
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:07.039
Young Turk And if you've watched any
of the election Night twenty sixteen super cuts.

257
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.880
They are prominently featured in there because
he's just losing his crap. In

258
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:17.480
fact, if you if you have
a few minutes, there is a there's

259
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:22.759
a rolling video that's compressed to about
fifteen minutes of the Young Turk's election night

260
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:30.000
coverage and you know, from arrogant
and pompous to the end is nigh in

261
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:36.240
just fifteen minutes. And it's a
fascinating watch. But I digress. So

262
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:41.920
yeah, Uger, who previously I
think he had ran for a California congressional

263
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:47.480
seat and got absolutely stomped. I
want to say he got like five percent.

264
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:52.480
No Sarered is seven percent of the
vote in the moonback California district.

265
00:21:53.920 --> 00:22:00.759
Is now on the presidential primary ballot
in Minnesota. Now, he had announced

266
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.799
on his show that he was and
I'm making air quotes because he made air

267
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:14.160
quotes. He's running a twenty twenty
four presidential campaign on the platform of pro

268
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:22.880
abortion and pro ceasefire. But it's
a media stunt. So him actually being

269
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:29.440
on the ballot means some folks up
there went through and went through the process.

270
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.480
It's necessary to get him on the
ballot. And the head of the

271
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.319
DFL party, Ken Martin is this
dude's Oh he's a piece of work.

272
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:45.519
By the way, Ken Martin is
unapologetic. Now, why would it be

273
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:53.079
interesting that the founder of the Young
Turks, one of the the easiest to

274
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:59.319
own idiots out there, is on
the ballot? Why would that be an

275
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.200
issue? Ross? What do you
know about mister Uger chank? Well,

276
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.279
I mean I would I would guess, yes, that is because he was

277
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.839
born in Turkey. There is that. Yes, he was in fact born

278
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:18.240
born in Turkey, and doesn't debate
that. It's that's him. He was

279
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.599
born in Turkey. He and the
fam they came to America eventually becoming citizens

280
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:33.960
and yeah, yeah, he's not
eligible. When when are you sure?

281
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:38.400
Does it say that somewhere? Because
well, hold is there like a document?

282
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.440
All I thought, mister, I
thought you like, this country wasn't

283
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.160
founded on paperwork, right, wasn't
that your position? Well? Yeah,

284
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.200
my campaign, I mean, I'm
not going to do the paperwork. I'm

285
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.279
very busy, like i'd run on
you know, sheer will gut and determination

286
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:57.240
and not on paperwork. Fans of
the Young Turks Presenter had previously tried to

287
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.680
get him on the ballot in several
states, all of which turned him down

288
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:11.079
because not born here. This is
double ironic. I'll read you Ken's this

289
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.400
the idiot quote here in just a
moment. But it is ironic because Minnesota,

290
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.200
ever since I left, I think
I was the only thing holding that

291
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:23.400
place together. Man, they have
gone full leftist moon. Bet Remember they

292
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:29.480
had when I left, they had
or they had just had a multi term

293
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:37.839
Republican governor, Tim Polenni, and
the House and Senate there bounced back and

294
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:42.000
forth. It was very purple.
That's gone and it's due in large part

295
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:48.759
just too. If you are a
if you are a Democrat from the Dakotas,

296
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.400
Western Wisconsin, Iowa, whatever,
and you want to go to the

297
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:59.559
big city, they go to Minneapolis. And so there's in when I when

298
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.640
I was like there was equally it
was equally broken down, like the twin

299
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.880
cities, Metro and outstate Minnesota had
roughly equal populations. And now it's just

300
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:12.000
exploded. So do you think their
swing to the left has anything to do

301
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:17.200
with Jesse Ventra because he was so
to the right. No, no,

302
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:22.799
just and and quite honestly it was
more of a libertarian right. Yeah,

303
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:27.000
he wasn't really seen as to the
right. Sure, I shouldn't say this.

304
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:33.160
He wasn't seen as representative of the
Republicans because they all hated him too,

305
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:41.000
and people were, at least remotely, they weren't as patently dishonest as

306
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.039
they are now. But why this
thing in Minnesota's pretty rich? Is Martin

307
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:52.480
and his cohorts have they damn near
became Maine in Colorado? They just they

308
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.279
just realized they couldn't get the pushed. They wanted to not let Trump on

309
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.880
the ballot because of and you know, in at fourteenth or twenty fifth or

310
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.119
whatever it is, but fourteenth is
what Colorado relied on, So that was

311
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:11.240
something these nitwits actually wanted to do. They just they just couldn't get over

312
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.720
the hump and doing it, and
they didn't want the legal So I think

313
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.359
they're aware of a document that might
outline parameters. To answer your question,

314
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:23.839
Ross, I think they are aware
of it. But when asked, hey,

315
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:30.160
you know he wasn't born in you
you know for a fact, he

316
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.839
doesn't deny it, Martin said,
and I quote, well, we also

317
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.920
believe in airing on the side of
ballot access. Our lawyers advised us it's

318
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:45.079
better to allow candidates to appear on
the primary ballot unless the court determines they're

319
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:51.680
ineligible. So what Martin's doing is
he is repeating what stopped him from not

320
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:56.759
letting or from protesting Trump being on
the ballot. So I just want you

321
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:02.480
to understand how childish this is.
And a bunch of his moonbad friends didn't

322
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.319
want Trump on the ballot. Their
lawyers are like, yeah, it's not

323
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:11.680
going to hold up. So in
this case, you need to let him

324
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.319
on the ballot. Now that they
really have controlled it's a Secretary of State

325
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.000
issue up there, but they could
protest him, then they could sue over

326
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.640
it. They didn't, And so
the very same thing that their lawyers told

327
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:30.799
him, he's using to justify that
and simultaneously point out, well, look

328
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.200
this is what happens when we don't
have any control over it. Look at

329
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.519
this guy, he's not even born
here, and I have to let him

330
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:41.319
on the ballot. You should have
let us not let Trump one. I

331
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.400
just want you to understand the childish
connection that's going on here, But that's

332
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:49.559
what's going on. Attempts to remove
Trump from the ballot are currently ongoing in

333
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.839
eighteen states, Minnesota one of them. Although it's kind of out of the

334
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.680
hands of the party, and there's
some activist groups doing it. Now,

335
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:04.960
let me see here what other state
is. So every other state that people

336
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:10.359
have tried to put this Uger on, they the states went, nah,

337
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:15.720
you got like dude. Dude's got
a Turkish burth certific in and owns it.

338
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.799
So that's going to be a no. I want to see. Hey,

339
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.599
here we go. Uger ran for
a vacant seat in the US House

340
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.599
of Representatives. Oh you know which
one he ran for is naked hair combing

341
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:32.359
lady, right, the one who
was having trysts in her office with her

342
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.759
staff. That's the one he ran
for, which is a pure moon to

343
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:41.480
that place, during which he got
seven percent of the vote. Good times,

344
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.480
Nikki Haley, he's got thirty three
percent. She just lost to none

345
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:51.039
of the above, which got sixty
three. So any who, there you

346
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:56.119
go. Yeah, the insanity is
strong there in Minnesota, all right,

347
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.359
six forty seven, forty eight Now
case o day radio program, hang on,

348
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.119
Oh man, uh, you know, in the world of radio stunts,

349
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.359
I've I've seen and participated in a
few. And you know, it

350
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:14.359
even used to be like you could
stunt on your competition and people would Ross,

351
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.359
you ever do stunts against the competition, openly calling them out or screwing

352
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.200
with them in any way. I
remember we did a concert in Salt Lake

353
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.039
and it was a Delta Center,
right, yeah, there were the jazz

354
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.759
played. There was some sort of
concerts that we were doing, okay,

355
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:33.359
and the the competition had these helium
balloons, these giant balloons with their uh,

356
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.039
their logo on them that they put
all inside the perimeter of love the

357
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:42.720
arena, and I just remember somehow, oh no, somehow they somebody cut

358
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:48.160
the strings. What now, they're
new inflatable balloons just floated away. Oh

359
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:51.839
wow, all they did then.
I mean, but we had we had

360
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.920
our van and I we had our
logo and our banners everywhere, and it

361
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.599
was great. But somebody, yeah, somebody, I mean just disgusted and

362
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.319
gross. That is tragedy. I
mean, they spent money on those and

363
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:07.319
they just snipped and floated away.
I'm trying to We did, we did

364
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.400
a thing where we had some but
some they had these these bumper stickers.

365
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.119
I can't remember exactly what they said. They had these bumper stickers, you

366
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.079
know, and you know some stations
are the bumper sticker station. They did

367
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.680
a really good job of handing them
out. So we had some printed that

368
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.559
were very close but were quite derogatory
and just kind of put him into the

369
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:32.119
mix, including slipping them into a
stack that was on one of their tables

370
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:36.440
at the state fair. So,
you know, nothing too aggressive, but

371
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:38.839
a little bit of that. But
we may have a winner for best all

372
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.200
time. I don't know what the
hell's going on, so I'll let you

373
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:51.240
decide radio stunt or meth heads.
And for this we had to Alabama and

374
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:56.960
radio station. Uh wait a second, the jet I know what the heck

375
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:03.160
ross? I just realized, I
know the general manager. What a small

376
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.960
business this is. I haven't talked
to him for a lot. I'm not

377
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.880
going to call him. I should
call him, though, shouldn't I?

378
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.880
Now he's probably pretty pea about what
happened. That's got to be the same

379
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:22.559
dude. That name is. Well
anyway, a radio station in Alabama is

380
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:30.480
trying to figure out what happened after
their tower was taken. Going to repeat

381
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:36.960
this again. A radio station is
on standby after somebody stole their two hundred

382
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:45.519
foot broadcast tower in Alabama. How
is that even possible? Dude? You

383
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.720
see one of these towers that are
because I once worked at a radio station

384
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:55.920
in Albany where the tower was right
outside of the broadcasting facility, so we'd

385
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:59.759
have to go out and look at
and and do the ratings and stuff.

386
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:02.720
Yeah. Yeah, so is this
like remotely because I well, I don't

387
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.279
know if it's remote or on their
property. I've worked in both situations.

388
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:12.440
I've even climbed the tower when when
we had we had a we had a

389
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.960
lighting issue. And this is when
I worked. This probably worked for iHeart

390
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.319
when I worked for this mom and
pop when I first went to Minnesota and

391
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:23.319
the lights were oute and it was
it was a very tall tower. I

392
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:28.240
can't remember the exact height. But
that's a huge problem if your tower.

393
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.200
If your tower lights go out,
you literally have to call the FAA.

394
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.759
Yeah. I had to fix them
during a hurricane. Yeah. I had

395
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.720
to climb the tower during a hurricane. So they need he wanted to get.

396
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.519
He wanted to get what. I
don't mean to one up you there,

397
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.720
but I'm just you're telling your story
and I did during a hurricane.

398
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.960
Hurricane Floyd kc O Day Radio program, Glad to have you along. Coming

399
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:57.559
up one hour from now. We're
gonna chat with Stephen Kent from Bounding into

400
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.559
Comics. We got to talk about
the Gina Carano thing. Uh. Actually

401
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:07.240
got a few things here, the
Gina Corano thing and Elon Musk lawsuit.

402
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:12.279
Ross and I were just talking off
the air. You mentioned tell me say

403
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.720
what you said again, because I
think it is important to point out for

404
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:19.039
folks who are following now Karano with
the help of Elon Musk, suing her

405
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:22.759
former employer. You know, it's
testing Stephen last night, Yes, and

406
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.960
somehow they're they're they're trying to get
a reinstated or that's part of it.

407
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:27.880
Like she went. I was like, why would she want the job back?

408
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:31.359
Like, okay, so because she's
suing for unlawful dismissal and violation of

409
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:37.440
her contracts. So uh from my
reading of it, and I read I

410
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:43.720
read a piece actually on Inside Radio
and they had the one dude who literally

411
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.240
is he's an agent lawyer dude,
and he was talking about it from the

412
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:50.240
aspect of that's how you have to
sue. It doesn't mean you want your

413
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:54.599
job back, but basically you're suing
saying I wanted this job and they fired

414
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:59.559
me, so to make me whole
give me the job back, and then

415
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:05.279
what generally happens in those instances because
obviously they can't just put her back on

416
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:07.440
the show. You would agree,
right, They're never gonna do that.

417
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.159
They're not just gonna write, oh
she's back, she wasn't killed. There's

418
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:15.360
no way, okay. So in
those instances, that's what you're suing for

419
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:21.039
from a remedy standpoint. But there's
also what's known as pay your play,

420
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.119
which used to be a thing more
in our industry and it's not anymore.

421
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:30.599
But basically there's a certain level of
it with Krono's contract, which basically says,

422
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.079
you agree that for however many years, you're gonna pay me, with

423
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.800
the exception of these points where I
can't contest it. But if I don't,

424
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:43.440
you don't have to put me on
the show, but you still have

425
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:46.519
to pay me. And that's that's
how they're suing. So the expectation is

426
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:51.360
a lot of money, not that
she's going to go back and her character

427
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.400
is going to return. So it's
predicated on that is how I saw it

428
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:59.920
broke down, which actually makes sense
because you're suing initially, you're suing the

429
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:07.000
remedy this and you're hoping to force
some sort of negotiation because it may not

430
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:08.719
be the practical remedy, but it's
the one you have to start with.

431
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:15.320
So yeah, we'll chat with him
about that. Where did I put a

432
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:20.800
couple other things here? All things
NERD related? Oh yeah, well we'll

433
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.599
talk about Disney this guy. This
is a local story too. Disney apparently

434
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:30.599
is partnering with Epic Games. Those
would be the Fortnite folks based out of

435
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:37.639
Raleigh, and it's worth like a
billion and a half dollars and don't I

436
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.639
don't know exactly what they're gonna do, but it is Disney, so I

437
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.159
wouldn't hold my breath. It's it's
gonna be correct. So we'll get into

438
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:51.159
all that and much more when we
chat with Steven Kent coming up at eight

439
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:55.719
o eight oh five. So all
right, back to this real quick.

440
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:01.079
So I just thought this story is
crazy. So this radio station in Alabama,

441
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:06.079
I wonder when they found out because
you know, it's most it's so

442
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.280
automated. Now, back in the
day when I first was in radio initially

443
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:15.159
and obviously Ross you too, you
had to every and there was you had

444
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:21.199
like every hour there'd be a clipboard
sitting in our studio right. For me,

445
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.719
it was KBBS and the stations after
that, and I would dial a

446
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:30.960
number, and I would have to
take tower readings, and we would have

447
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.920
to make sure that the towers whatever
power it's supposed to be run an am

448
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.360
so power can be different depending on
the time of the year. But and

449
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.079
then you'd have to log all that
stuff, and it was a big deal

450
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:45.480
if you didn't do those readings,
and in fact we had, we had

451
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:47.800
a part timer got fired for faking
them. I'm like, how lazy are

452
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:52.039
you can't call the eight hundred number? It was, it was like an

453
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.679
eight hundred number and automated voice.
I also, ross, did you ever

454
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:58.840
do a bit with the with the
tower voice or did you not have the

455
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.000
tower voice? No, we didn't
have a tower voice, dude. I

456
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.320
also know, like you said to, somebody was fired. We I was

457
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:06.920
at the staff there in Albany.
Yeah, it was a hot a C

458
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:10.800
station was a KLi and KRBE and
literally everybody would just look at each other's

459
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.559
numbers and just like right right,
a little very right, a little up,

460
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.519
little down, and nobody actually did
it. Like nobody the PD,

461
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.159
the program director, the APD none
of us did it. We just chains

462
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.280
are flying into your tower because the
lights are out. Don't you feel bad?

463
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:28.320
I remember that was like doing the
overnight shift. And I went to

464
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:31.519
go get my numbers and the night
jock was a big knight jack there in

465
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:34.480
all but name is Jim Steele,
and he goes, what are you doing.

466
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:36.840
I said, I'm gonna go to
the numbers for the tower. He

467
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:37.639
said, what do you know?
Just do it like this? You show

468
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.119
me to do it. He was
He was my assistant program director. So

469
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.840
we had we had it. We'd
call the number and they're being an automated,

470
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:51.480
you know, super robotic voice,
right, but uh, one one

471
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:52.960
of the towers, because we had
two stations, one of the towers you

472
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.639
call it was a dude's voice,
the other one was a woman's voice.

473
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.360
And I went through the entire phone
tree of command, just rolling tape on

474
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.400
her and I cut it all up
and then I would have her randomly call

475
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:09.440
in and hit on me during it. And my boss at the time,

476
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.559
she did not have a sense of
humor for things like that, and she

477
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:19.320
came absolutely uncorked. And I was
like six months after I started doing it,

478
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.599
So like obviously she was paying attention, and she's just like, Oh,

479
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.280
we're gonna get in trouble with the
FCC. And I'm like, I

480
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.280
don't know. If the FCC cares, then I'm having a robotic voice that

481
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:37.519
nobody but myself and three other staff
members have ever heard calling in and suggestively

482
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:42.239
saying things to me. I don't
think that that's but I remember she got

483
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.239
really upset about that, and I
found that to be the only useful thing

484
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:51.199
for all of that business. However, I have to wonder if they weren't

485
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:57.280
taking tower readings, because to your
point, if somebody steals your entire radio

486
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:04.840
tower, they don't do it all
at once, right, I imagine that'd

487
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.840
be a big project. I mean, what was you notice your tower?

488
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:12.880
What was it somebody stole? We
did a story where they stole Remember they

489
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:15.000
stole some out of a park.
Wasn't like an entire bridge? Do you

490
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.320
remember that somebody went to a park
and stole an entire bridge. I do

491
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:21.480
remember that. I can't remember what
it was. It was so stupid,

492
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.480
though, and I remember thinking that
had to take forever. This is a

493
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:31.599
two hundred foot radio tower. I
can't even imagine how long that would take

494
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.039
quote David Copperfield, illusion like,
how do you even pull that off?

495
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.239
Yeah? But the statue of Liberty's
still there? You know what I'm saying,

496
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:46.679
it's still there. This is not
still there? Uh, general manager

497
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:55.199
of the station, brett Elmore Station
w j LX quote, I've been trying

498
00:39:55.199 --> 00:40:00.280
to all weekend to figure it out
and I just can't. How do you

499
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:04.880
make off with an entire two hundred
foot steel structure? Hey, man,

500
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:10.559
crackheads are industrious. Meth Head's industrious, dude. So so when they noticed

501
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.679
that the tower is gone, they've
had the how are they broadcasting? Like?

502
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:17.079
Is that how they noticed that?
That's what I'm that's this is this

503
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:21.000
is the thing. So it's a
really bad sign for the company if you're

504
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:22.159
like, hey, we've been broadcasting
for like a week or so and we

505
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.079
actually weren't broadcasting, but nobody called
this up because nobody listens, Like,

506
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:29.519
how does that? That's awful?
Yeah, it's so bad. Yeah,

507
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:31.000
that's Uh. You probably gotta want
to bring in some consults. If you

508
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.159
think of you were off there,
somebody would be calling you saying, hey,

509
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.159
where where did the station go?
And then you'd be like, I

510
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:37.960
don't know let me check the tower, and you'd be like, oh my

511
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:43.840
lord, it's gone, or or
another possibility. Maybe this dude is looking

512
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:45.000
at the numbers, he's like,
oh, this isn't going well. And

513
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.559
he knows the big boss is going
to be in town, so he's like,

514
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:52.960
all right, I got a plan, right, what right? You're

515
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:59.280
like, oh, my tower is
stolen by vector or whatever. I double

516
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:02.760
the numbers. Look, but here
be out. Yeah. Yeah, Elmer

517
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.159
said, I've been in the business
twenty six years and I've never heard of

518
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.440
anything like this. I can say
I've seen at all. Oh what if

519
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:13.719
they're stunting you know what? Yeah, it could be. I mean that

520
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:16.320
was my first reaction. I said, is this a bit because I'm so

521
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:19.840
jaded from being you know, doing
this for twenty five years, and it

522
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.039
has to be a bit. Yeah, But then the tower would still be

523
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:28.679
there, Like they have law enforcement
investigating, so like it's if you ever

524
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:34.760
ruled, like, all right,
so our tower, our tower is well

525
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.360
technically I guess they moved our tower
once, but like our towers are not

526
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:43.840
near town, right, so like
you know, for the Greensboro station to

527
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:50.400
be PTI technically we're licensed out of
Rockingham County, so right, so like

528
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.960
I couldn't just step outside and see
that our tower's gone. So if I

529
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:57.320
was to tell you, oh,
somebody stole the PTI tower one, if

530
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.559
you're listening on PTI, you'd be
like, ah, I know you're lying,

531
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.599
but like nobody could really check it. So I could see how his

532
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:08.559
stunt might work like that. But
in this case, the entire tower's gone,

533
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:15.679
so that's a that's commitment. Elmore
said he learned of the theft Friday

534
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:20.360
when a landscaping crew went to the
tower who made They have a contract to

535
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:24.519
maintain the property, right, and
the landscaping crew called him and said,

536
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:34.519
your tower's gone, at which point
Elmore says he went out there and sure

537
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:38.559
enough, tower's gone. Initially,
though, Elmore said he thought that the

538
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:45.119
company simply was in the wrong field, but when he showed up, the

539
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:47.880
tower was missing. However, there
were wires everywhere, and that's because the

540
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:58.760
towers have guy wires on them and
he apparently didn't take those. Here's the

541
00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:04.840
other thing. How do you report
on the story? Right, you're this

542
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:08.119
you're a small town radio station,
right, you had a news department all

543
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:13.760
this stuff, Like, how do
you tell people what's going on? And

544
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:16.639
do your do your jocks have to
come in and do their shows. Still,

545
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:23.239
I have a lot of questions,
Well they check the punch shop,

546
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:27.639
well, and so this is but
this is where I was headed, right.

547
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:31.440
You know the big problem with people
still Copper is you know, they

548
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:36.039
show up and they show up to
people buy this stuff, and it's like,

549
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:37.400
you know, the police will tell
you, like they know what's up,

550
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:43.519
right, the scrap dealers know what's
up or they turn you know,

551
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:47.679
they don't ask questions intentionally. If
you show up with a two hundred foot

552
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:52.639
rate, what's your backstory? You're
like, yeah, I was, I

553
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:57.159
was in the radio biz, but
I quit. Right, You say,

554
00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:59.920
oh man, I gotta I gotta
promote it. And I got a frame.

555
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:00.840
Man, I gotta put it up
on the wall. I gotta call

556
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:05.559
it an expert. Five bucks?
Five bucks? Oh man? Can I

557
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.559
talk to the old man? Will
he do better? I don't feel like

558
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:14.840
that's fair. There's like a competing
station pops up suddenly, like hey it's

559
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:22.440
Tim FM or whatever, it's ross
Am. I know your competitors like now

560
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:30.079
twice the power twice the towers.
Believe it or not, it's whoever did

561
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:32.840
steal it is gonna have big problems. It's actually a big, big,

562
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:39.840
big time federal offense, like super
felony, because we have laws that were

563
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:47.199
written around people attempting to sabotage the
ability to do eas amber, provide news

564
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:52.480
information, all of those things,
and so simply tampering with the tower to

565
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:58.599
take it out of commission is a
federal felony. Stealing the whole damn thing

566
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:04.559
puts you right at the top of
the list. Oh, Jasper Alabama.

567
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:08.960
Police is Jasper, Alabama where this
took place. Police have say they're looking

568
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:14.119
for the public's help and then if
you have any information, there is a

569
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.480
reward, and then they give their
phone number there. So now I want

570
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:20.559
to know, do they just steal
the tower? Do they steal all the

571
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:22.199
other people? Don't? Really,
I shouldn't be saying this because now some

572
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.440
crackhead's gonna be like, really it's
let me just say, it's not just

573
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:30.800
a tower out there, So there's
a lot of crap out there. Yeah.

574
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:36.119
In fact, whoever did steal it
is facing ten years in prison on

575
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:43.119
just the single charge. And they
that somebody's like, it's probably a ham

576
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:47.960
radio operator. Why are you gonna
throw them under the bus. Oh they

577
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:52.239
did steal the transmitter too, okay, all right, good, good good,

578
00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:59.719
Oh very nice. Yeah, so
all right, so somebody's just telling

579
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:01.760
me, okay, and this other
story, Yeah, they stole the transmitter

580
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:10.199
too. This is like that.
What was that nineties movie where he's a

581
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:15.519
high school kid running a pirate radio
station. Pump up the volume, Pump

582
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:23.400
up the volume, Christian Slater.
Yeah, I just remember that they had

583
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.920
that topless scene in the movie,
and it was that first time where I'm

584
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.519
watching a movie in my mom's in
the living room and then there's nudity and

585
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.599
it's that whole awkwardness. So that
movie will always stick in my head.

586
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:37.719
But any who, all right,
let me grab a call here, Sam,

587
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:43.079
what's up. Yeah, I wouldn't
lay, but I'm a ham operator.

588
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.760
It wouldn't lave with I want to
tell that, but I was gonna

589
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:49.280
tell you K ninety five or five
in Oklahoma, LUs and Hugo they had

590
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:52.679
the same thing handing them. They
got the hard line dropped down tire jack

591
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.760
tip the generator to call that for
the cofer, And how they got called

592
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:00.519
was all out at the jump yard. They want you to no scrap of

593
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.280
that. I tho. I'll tell
you that in you st in case you

594
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:07.960
won't look at it. Oh you
sound your signal? Yeah, your signal

595
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:12.039
sounds very clear, sir So.
Oh yeah, I mean I don't blast

596
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:17.039
I here. Yeah, all right, we'll enjoy your new tower, sir.

597
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:22.159
All right, have a good one. Didn't that sound that sounded crystal

598
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:28.840
clear? Ross? Would you say
like broadcasting? Very well? Sir So?

599
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:32.239
Yeah, No, that's the other
because like it's two hundred feet.

600
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.280
I'm trying to remember what our longest. I guess our ten horse horse trailer

601
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.599
would be our longest. I'm trying
to you'd still have to cut that thing

602
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:47.840
six times get it in there,
you know. I mean, I'm just

603
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:53.320
like, it's it's it's it's baffling
the amount of work that would be necessary.

604
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:57.679
But I guess you know what's there
to do in Jasper, Alabama.

605
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:02.719
So you got to make your own
own fun all right. Two. It's

606
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.159
a dumb story, but it's also
an amazing story. And I feel like

607
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:14.599
mostly because it's the business we're in. So and if you're the radio station,

608
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:16.039
like you can't you can't just go
to the you can't just go to

609
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:22.400
radio shack can get another tower,
right I. I suspect they have a

610
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:27.079
backup, which is generally like a
low power that's sitting on something else,

611
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.639
another tower, or a cell phone
tower or something like. We have those

612
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.000
as well, but they you generally
get almost you will never get the entirety

613
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:40.760
of your coverage. It'll be very
localized. So but yeah, that's that's

614
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:44.679
a pickle right there. Maybe it's
a dude who just didn't want to work

615
00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:51.239
that weekend. He's lazy, but
also very very very motivated. Could be,

616
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:53.079
I don't know. We'll ponder that
and get some other news coming up.

617
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:58.119
Hanging on eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four, I've

618
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:01.800
been just I'm sitting here during the
break try. I need to determine what

619
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:09.440
the here we go, here we
go, all right, I'm trying to

620
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:14.679
figure out how much the radio tower
weighs. I want, I need to

621
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:16.639
know exactly which kind of tower.
But I'm gonna go with it's just one

622
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:24.719
of the straight structures and not the
old timy you know, like Eiefull tower

623
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:29.719
construction, you know where there's very
wide base. So we'll go with modern

624
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:32.239
tower. Because I was sitting there
doing the math on this stolen to hundred

625
00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:37.679
foot radio tower, and I you
know, I can math out like the

626
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:42.599
trailer that you would need, like
we had our horse trailer. The one

627
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:47.519
horse trailer was forty feet. But
again that's the you know, it's not

628
00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:52.559
even the sheer interior of the trailer, right, because there's like a little

629
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:55.639
there's the horse part, and then
there's actually like a little camper thing on

630
00:49:55.679 --> 00:50:00.920
the front of those a couple bunks
and a little kitchenette. So like I'd

631
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:07.119
have to cut that thing five times
minimum and probably more to get it in

632
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:09.559
there. But then I don't even
know what the damn thing weighs. It's

633
00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:16.360
really impressive. I think that's why
people are absolutely interested. So I mean,

634
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:21.559
it's just the logistics of it.
You know, you're not just rolling

635
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:23.559
up in your Scooby Doo van throwing
it in there and then driving off.

636
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:28.480
You know. It's like if the
news broke that the the water tower and

637
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:30.880
wake Forest is gone, you'd be
like, oh no, what, like,

638
00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:34.760
how is it even possible? It
is? It's like Despicable Me,

639
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:37.760
where he's just like stealing the statue
of the Moon or the Statue of Liberty.

640
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.639
Like it's nuts. Well, I
mean it's it's a twitter foot radio

641
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:44.559
tower. It's not the Statue of
Liberty, but it might as well be

642
00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:47.360
if you're not working with a crew
and you have the right equipment. So

643
00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:52.039
your point is taken. Wait,
somebody stole the water tower and wake for

644
00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:57.519
it. No, no, no, no, I'm just saying, oh,

645
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:02.920
oh my gosh, it's God.
Also, Ross has all the water

646
00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:07.119
he could ever use, so and
of too, nice two hundred foot bird.

647
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:08.079
Is that a bird feeder? That's
very I put it right next to

648
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:12.320
my gazebo near the hinge. Wow. And I'm willing to give up some

649
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:15.719
of the water if you need some
for a small price. Yeah, I'm

650
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:16.760
sure it would be a small price. All right, let me have a

651
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:22.039
call on this in sanity. Yeah, Anthony, what's up? Yeah,

652
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:25.159
so I used to walk on y'all. Style was not necessarily on the towers

653
00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:30.920
there in the Yeah, sure you
equipment pool the dours And yeah, you

654
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:32.519
weren't kidding about them things in the
middle of nowhere, because there's one in

655
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:37.400
a clear in the middle of the
cal pasture in Middlesex, and then one

656
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:39.920
on the side of the mountain up
and King. But the fact, yeah,

657
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:45.119
and king. I think it's ours, so I think it belong start.

658
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:46.440
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm
saying. We used to take care

659
00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:51.639
of all y'all's all of us clear
channels, but it was clear channel back

660
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:54.519
man. But yeah, yeah,
but like the one in Middlesex. You

661
00:51:54.599 --> 00:52:00.000
go in there and it's like razor
wire around this cow pasture. Yeah,

662
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.199
but then there's like six six inch
stameter pieces of copper. But there's cameras

663
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.320
all over those things. So I
don't understand how they were they're able to

664
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:09.320
get away with it, just the
amount of time that would be necessary.

665
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:14.840
I understand it's rule Alabama, but
it's still and it's the whole How do

666
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:16.960
you how do you flip that thing? I mean, that's I'm just impressed.

667
00:52:17.559 --> 00:52:21.159
I gotta be honest, man,
And you never thought of stealing one

668
00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:24.039
of our towers selling it for well, the ones I went to were like

669
00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:28.559
fifteen hundred or two thousand, two
thousand feet, So I was like,

670
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:30.239
what, don't be lazy, sir, Look at that. You could have

671
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:35.079
got so much more money than this
dude's gonna get. Yeah No, but

672
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:39.199
I mean I don't. I can't. I can't follow a tree without damaging

673
00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:44.000
something though, right right, yeah, that's just all right, Well that's

674
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:46.559
uh yeah, it's so yeah,
it's uh, it's it's it's actually an

675
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:50.599
impressive feet. I appreciate the call
this morning, thank you, Anthony.

676
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:55.119
Yeah, well hold on, why
does the phone being the phone? All

677
00:52:55.239 --> 00:53:00.519
right? Sorry, bro said that. I can't even run our phone screener

678
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:06.239
this morning because I'm concerned somebody's out
jack at our tower right now. Although

679
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.079
this is good, next time I
do a topic that it was I when

680
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:12.800
I put it in prep, I
was absolutely sure it was gonna kill we'll

681
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:15.079
be like, oh, we'll get
calls for a half hour and it doesn't.

682
00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:17.039
I'll just be like, ah,
probably somebody probably stole the tower.

683
00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:24.559
Very simple, they're right eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

684
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:32.599
Everybody's got man, people got suggestions. I again, I'm I'm in.

685
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:38.960
I'm in. Oh wait, hold

00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:45.079
on that, don't you, mister
Hayes. You want me to click on

687
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:49.920
that line one, don't you?
I'm sorry, I'm very busy in here.

688
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:52.679
What's going on? I'm just looking
at I listen. I didn't turn

689
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:57.159
my microphone on somewhere like you're because
you were giggling, and that's that's ridiculous.

690
00:53:57.159 --> 00:54:02.039
I'm busy doing producer things that do
you and understand and it's you're spoiled.

691
00:54:01.719 --> 00:54:07.199
Host was the host? You're living
on a different planet here, and

692
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:14.400
it's get the job, all right? Yeah, James, can I do

693
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:19.920
for you boon right now? The
big Beer's gone? Somebody stolen? Oh

694
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:23.280
my god. And I stole the
big, big big beer, not the

695
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:29.880
food, Big Bear. The Triple
Band's gone. Oh my god, North

696
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:35.039
Carolina stolen. Who would do such
a thing? What if? What if

697
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.639
I'm everywhere? Man, I don't
know, Yeah, James, what if

698
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:42.159
I was to tell you it was
always gone? No, Man, I

699
00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:45.000
heard on the radio that it was
there for sure. I'm just saying,

700
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:46.960
like, I just want you to
open your mind to the possibility that it

701
00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:51.679
wasn't, in fact stolen because it
never existed in the first place. Did

702
00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:53.159
you consider I saw a picture on
the internet. Yeah, I saw the

703
00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:59.199
same thing, James. Good point. Yeah, look to look to your

704
00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:06.559
north. Is there a large bowl
of pretzels? They stole the pretzels too.

705
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:08.239
This is the Biden economy. This
is he needs. That's what it

706
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:10.760
is, all right to Time's out
there, man, people think it about

707
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:15.599
him everywhere. All Right, we'll
enjoy your your Wataga trip. Okay,

708
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:22.159
all right, we're going allright,
dude, I knew that that at some

709
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.519
point was going to enter the chat. I didn't know if you were going

710
00:55:25.559 --> 00:55:31.480
to do it via email or in
this case, via caller. You can

711
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:36.320
just predict these things. I know
it's a little early, but I want

712
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:38.559
to talk to Stagic about this.
Is he around yet? Tell me if

713
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:46.639
stage, because yeah, dude,
did you see the radio Alabama radio tower

714
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:52.360
story, the one that got blown
down? It didn't get blown down.

715
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:53.800
No, no, no, no, no, no, okay, maybe

716
00:55:53.800 --> 00:56:00.480
it's a different story. Yeah.
So w j l X, which is

717
00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:09.679
in Huntsville, No No, Jasper, Alabama. It's one to one point

718
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:15.000
five. It's the FM w j
l X. So on Friday. On

719
00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:20.000
Friday, the general manager guy my
name of Brett Elmore, gets a call

720
00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:22.199
from the they have, you know, they have a maintenance crew that handles

721
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:25.159
where the tower is, you know, cuts meats and all that stuff like

722
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:28.880
most of us do. Uh.
And they called him and they're like,

723
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:31.800
yeah, we showed up at the
tower. Where's the tower? And they

724
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:39.840
went out there and somebody stole their
radio tower. Listen, that's no easy

725
00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:43.960
task. No, this is what
we're saying, you're talking about, and

726
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:46.280
I'm like, if I know,
I'm like, is this your competitor stunting,

727
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:51.280
right, because like back in the
day, you used to be able

728
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:53.000
to screw with your competitor, right, and you know, it was all

729
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:55.719
in good fun, and that's sort
of nowadays you just you can't get away

730
00:56:55.760 --> 00:57:00.199
with that because everybody's too sensitive.
But well, I mean, because if

731
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:05.400
that's what this is, you win, You've won. Yeah, yeah,

732
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:07.440
I mean and if everybody you know, it might be people don't know.

733
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:13.039
I mean, these are no little, tiny little tower some to No,

734
00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:17.599
it's it's a pretty impressive structure when
you're talking several hundred feet of metal there

735
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:21.239
and and we're just trying to like, how do you haul that away?

736
00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:23.920
Yeah, they stole the tower in
the transmitter and they yeah, they told

737
00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:27.719
they told this. So they stole
the transmitter, the excit, all the

738
00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:31.719
stuff that's normally in the shed there
and the tower. So yeah, it's

739
00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:37.199
probably a Johnny Cash song about that
right on Pie the Time man whatever he

740
00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:39.039
quick though, dude's doing. That's
what you need to give to people.

741
00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:47.559
Who don't want to work because cash
down your pants, hunt in the lunchbox.

742
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:52.000
You know, a lot of people
don't realize that that that was one

743
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:54.960
of the lesser charges. When he
shot that man to watch him die,

744
00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:58.840
he also had stolen the tower.
That it was a whole litany of things,

745
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:01.000
but only one made this, So
yeah, a lot of people well

746
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:06.719
yeah, but also they they had
to have the ground crew tell them,

747
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:12.039
which means for a period of time
they're just broadcasting, going why is nobody

748
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:16.159
call it? What's going on?
Well, there's a reason for that.

749
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:21.360
Yeah, that's a great excuse too
if your numbers, so you steal your

750
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:22.320
own tower, and you'd be like, ah, the reason I didn't hit

751
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:27.440
my goal is because they took the
tower. So yeah, put that in

752
00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:34.639
the sales deck, right, all
right, so yeah, yeah, yep,

753
00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:37.280
I was impressed when they tried to
They were stealing air conditioning units off

754
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:40.760
of the jail at one of the
in one of the counties here, which

755
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:44.719
yeah, that takes stones. Man, right, you're going you're literally going

756
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:46.920
to the line and then you're stealing
their ac for the copper or whatever.

757
00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:53.960
This this is something different, so
man, all right, yeah, anyway,

758
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:58.079
yeah, all right, so it's
but uh yeah, well it's not

759
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:00.360
a sea weather. I mean always
like to give the perspective that it is

760
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.440
early February. I think later.
I think second half of the month will

761
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:08.239
be cooler than what's coming yesterday.
Officially, let's pick on Raleigh. We

762
00:59:08.320 --> 00:59:12.440
made it to fifty five officially the
advertise fifty four. Now we will go

763
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:17.000
above average, near sixty today,
a little cooler to tryad maybe upper fifties,

764
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:21.400
but either way, more mild weather, some high cloud around filtering sunshine,

765
00:59:21.440 --> 00:59:24.760
more clouds tomorrow, upper fifties to
low sixties. Could hit seventy on

766
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:29.880
Saturday, maybe a little bit of
rain. I really don't think there's going

767
00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:32.719
to be much Saturday with cloudy sky. Then I think more rain Saturday night

768
00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:37.000
to Sunday, especially through about midday
Sunday. So there is some rain coming

769
00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:40.639
in low sixties on Sunday. Early
next week, some showers Monday than sunshine,

770
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.159
and still in the mid sixties on
Monday, low in mid fifties on

771
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:49.039
Tuesday. Wednday might turn a little
bit colder after that, but really not

772
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.320
bad. Heier. Over the next
next four or five days, we'll get

773
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:55.559
some rain. It doesn't wash out
the weekend. I do think Saturday is

774
00:59:55.559 --> 00:59:59.800
the better day of the weekend with
the mild weather and the small chance of

775
00:59:59.880 --> 01:00:04.880
rain, and Sunday it's probably going
to be cloudy with them, you know,

776
01:00:05.119 --> 01:00:08.199
better chance of showers than not,
although it doesn't rain every hour of

777
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:10.079
the day. I think everybody knows
what that is, at least it doesn't

778
01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:14.119
look that way right now. But
hey, Sunday is a big game,

779
01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:17.679
so yeah, it's there's other things
to do. Swifties are going to be

780
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:23.000
watching the ratings are going. Yeah
right, did you see? Yeah?

781
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:28.639
That? What that is? Sifty
thing? I saw basically just uh super

782
01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:31.679
Bowl party planning tips with a bunch
of women and pink dangly things and they're

783
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:37.599
all very excited. So uh do
you even want to know what? Maybe

784
01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:40.079
I save it for next day?
Do you want to know the theme of

785
01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:44.920
our party? Oh? Yeah,
hold on to that. We'll do that,

786
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:49.559
okay, because I'll have to live
with it. It does fifteen does

787
01:00:50.599 --> 01:00:55.400
a right, Okay, appreciate it. Race Stag. By the way,

788
01:00:55.599 --> 01:01:00.480
also, four people have called or
emailed me now to confirm that the Boone

789
01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:05.519
Big Beer has been stolen. So
ross do you feel? Do you feel

790
01:01:05.559 --> 01:01:10.679
happy that you corrupt the truth narrative
with things like always been for a while

791
01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:15.199
on the show that Boone Big Beer
deniers that we don't. I can't.

792
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:20.519
I can't tolerate that. But it's
like it's a family tradition. You corrupt

793
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:23.079
the way people communicate. Like on
Facebook, like people were talking about the

794
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:25.840
olive Garden the other day and you
got all the I was scrolling through and

795
01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:30.639
there's a dude, Adam, who
were friends at Facebook and he's a listener,

796
01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:32.920
but I'm just scrolling through and randomly
he's just in front of an olive

797
01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:36.800
garden. He goes, I'm at
the most authentic of restaurants. And I

798
01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:38.480
go down to the comments and I'm
like, I'm going to say the chefs

799
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:42.760
are trained in Tuscany. And I
go to the comments and like the second

800
01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:45.920
comment is some guy going the chefs
are trained in Tuscany, and I'm like,

801
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:50.719
I am doing the Lord's work,
yeah, or something else. By

802
01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:53.719
the way, I just called up
the Google satellite view of where this tower

803
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:59.119
was. It's not in the middle
of nowhere. It is right on the

804
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:04.559
edge of town in jat Or it
was, and it's behind the it's behind

805
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:14.239
the the street department, a mattress
firm, and a police station. Maybe

806
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:17.559
they smuggled it out through the mattress
firm tunnels and hold on, and it's

807
01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:22.880
so, this is it's surrounded by
the street department, a mattress firm,

808
01:02:24.079 --> 01:02:30.039
and a poultry plant. Just looking
at what all is around this, But

809
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:37.239
it's surrounded by this stuff and a
police a regional I may be state police.

810
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:42.039
I think that's Alabama Trooper's office.
I don't know if they're. This

811
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:46.119
thing's right next to it, and
they still got the damn thing. So

812
01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:51.960
you think they used the secret Illuminati
tunnels under the mattress firm, which,

813
01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:57.880
by the way, if you want
to google a crazy conspiracy theory, mattress

814
01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:01.199
firm tunnels, just have fun with
that, or Walmart tunnels. It works

815
01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:07.760
kind of the same way. Yeah, this thing is, this thing is

816
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:12.599
not rule well, just knowing where
it is now, I'm leaning more towards

817
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:17.960
it being a bit. I don't
know, man, they got the police

818
01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:22.000
actively involved, like he Once you
got the police there actively, That's when

819
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:32.760
I'm not convinced what else is over
here? You know? These businesses looks

820
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:39.960
like there's a charter school. Yeah, yeah, somebody saw something anyway,

821
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:43.719
seven point fifty. Hang on,
what's he doing? He's on the road.

822
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:45.440
He flew back into town yesterday,
I'm not sure from where. And

823
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:47.960
now he's to drive to Atlanta.
He's having like issues with his phone and

824
01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:53.519
stuff, so he's not driving to
Atlanta via I don't know Alabama, is

825
01:03:53.559 --> 01:03:59.119
he. It's a good point.
I don't know, because you know,

826
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:02.920
this thing is along the interstate just
store at the Birmingham or this tower disappeared

827
01:04:04.039 --> 01:04:06.960
and it's just weird. Now all
of a sudden we start talking about and

828
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:10.599
he's like, I can't do the
interview. You ever see his car?

829
01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:15.760
Uh No, it's a modified version. It looks like lu Scott Luke Skywalker's

830
01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:18.719
floating car from a New Hope.
Oh wow. Yeah, I mean if

831
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:21.840
Stephen kn't goes from bounding into Comics
drives past you, you know, it's

832
01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:27.000
hid me like, oh, that's
a dude. And it's got a large

833
01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:29.880
tower on top of it, j
enormous tower at least two hundred feet.

834
01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:32.079
Yeah. Well, yeah, you
wouldn't want to go a footless. All

835
01:04:32.159 --> 01:04:34.599
right, let me grab a call, so we'll do that. We're going

836
01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:39.159
to reschedule for tomorrow, so uh, fear not, we'll do that and

837
01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:41.880
we'll chat with Pete. So it'll
be a busy Friday. Yeah, Bill,

838
01:04:41.960 --> 01:04:45.320
what's going on? Good morning?
Hey guys, how you doing?

839
01:04:45.719 --> 01:04:48.800
Uh? Pretty good? We still
have our towers, so yeah, you

840
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:53.840
do. Look so you don't understand
the capabilities of a couple of tower hands

841
01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:56.239
there. These are a rare breed
of guys here, dude, they don't

842
01:04:57.119 --> 01:04:59.480
don't, don't put anything against what
they can do. And also at two

843
01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:03.119
hundred foo tower that ain't nothing but
on what you're describing is a two hundred

844
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:09.519
foot god God tower. It's only
held down. It's it's a skinny structure

845
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:14.400
right tensioned with three with a triangulation
of wires. If you cut one wire

846
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:17.480
with the grinder, that tower's gonna
fall. Once that tower falls, cut

847
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:20.159
it into pieces, throwing on a
trailer, and get out of there.

848
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:27.960
I I hear you siring that one
percent makes sense. I'm just baffled when

849
01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:31.159
I looked up this thing on the
map and I realize it's surrounded by like

850
01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:35.400
everything. It's not out in the
field somewhere. That's what's crazy. You

851
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:41.920
got if you've got four or five
the Scronald Tower dogs, they and a

852
01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:45.039
trailer. Hey, I wouldn't put
it past them. With a couple of

853
01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:50.199
grinders, they can knock that thing
down and have it disassembled. And crackheads

854
01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:54.679
stole a ten thousand pound bridge,
sir, So I don't put anything past

855
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:58.840
anybody. We're gonna chat do our
you know, our little Hollywood movie news

856
01:05:59.360 --> 01:06:03.000
whope, woke Hollywood kind of chat
that we normally do with Steven Kent.

857
01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:08.239
Unfortunately he is he's doing some traveling
right now, and you know how that

858
01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:10.320
goes. You don't get a signal. It ain't gonna work. So we're

859
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:15.719
gonna move this thing till tomorrow and
uh it is then that will dive into

860
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:21.480
the Gina Caranos stuff. Elon musk
lawsuit stuff. By the way, Elon

861
01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:28.400
Musk ross Elon Musks twitter account is
giving me peak Trump vibes right now,

862
01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:32.559
Like I find myself actively wanting to
go see what he's tweeting, because that

863
01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:39.039
dude has been on a rampage for
a few days now. And I'm sure

864
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:44.599
you saw the the whole Zelensky interviewing
Zelensky and what he thinks of reporters.

865
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:50.320
Uh tweet that was banging around the
internet. Yeah, he is, he

866
01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:55.280
is. He's straight gihat on all
this stuff and it's very entertaining to watch.

867
01:06:56.079 --> 01:07:00.960
So you couple that that that talk
with money, and that's what he's

868
01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:06.360
throwing his support behind Ginakarano for be
going after Disney and I'm here to I'm

869
01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:14.679
here for that. So and she
and if I had to guess, she,

870
01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:18.719
Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson are public
enemies one through three right now.

871
01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:26.199
Have you ever seen somebody so mad
that somebody's interviewing a world leader as what's

872
01:07:26.239 --> 01:07:30.960
going on right now. The irony, of course is Vladimir Putin has been

873
01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:35.880
interviewed. NBC interviewed him and it
wasn't It was prior to Ukraine, but

874
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:44.280
not that much prior. People are
losing their mind, including over in the

875
01:07:44.320 --> 01:07:49.360
EU. This is from Newsweek,
according to let me let me give you

876
01:07:49.400 --> 01:08:00.280
the sources. Here we go.
According to a former Eljin prime minister,

877
01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:09.760
so that is named Guy Verhofstat Verhofstadt, I don't know, former Belgian prime

878
01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:16.520
minister and current member of the European
Parliament. He is suggesting that Carlson could

879
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:30.800
find himself with some travel restrictions complements
of the EU. This is crazy.

880
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:36.319
Carlson's interview with Russia President Vladimir Putin
could see the conservative pundit targeted by EU

881
01:08:36.479 --> 01:08:42.359
lawmakers that, according to not just
the former Belgian prime minister, but several

882
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:47.279
other current and former members of the
EU Parliament, Carlson's work in Russia could

883
01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:51.359
see the Fox News host in hot
water, the lawmaker who has called for

884
01:08:51.399 --> 01:08:58.720
the EU to explore imposing a travel
ban on Carlson, described Carlson as a

885
01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:03.920
mouthpiece for Trump and Putin. So
this this is and by the way,

886
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:09.960
this is what happens when you give
these you know, these these globalists.

887
01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:14.720
I'll use that word where it is
actually accurate. Right, you know,

888
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:18.159
this is right now. They just
they were able to cobble together the unelected

889
01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:24.560
bureaucrats to rule Europe and they would
love it to be the whole world is

890
01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:30.840
now wanting to ban a dude from
a continent for interviewing a sitting world leader

891
01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:41.119
and the hasn't even seen the interview. You can't fight back against these folks

892
01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:45.560
hard enough. And anybody in any
position of power in the US who yields

893
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:55.920
even an iota of power influence to
anyone of these would be dictators there doesn't

894
01:09:56.000 --> 01:10:00.039
deserve to be to be holding an
office here in the US. I just

895
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:03.000
want to I just want to be
abundantly clear here. You can like stuff

896
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:08.840
that they're doing. You could even
look at different ways that EUS handling stuff

897
01:10:09.199 --> 01:10:12.600
and go, oh, that's an
interesting idea. Would that work here?

898
01:10:12.760 --> 01:10:16.319
And have that conversation, But don't
give these people a say in anything.

899
01:10:19.199 --> 01:10:27.399
They want to ban a dude from
a continent for interviewing a sitting world leader,

900
01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:33.199
just just when you think about it
in that context, I want you

901
01:10:33.239 --> 01:10:40.840
to understand how insane that is.
Newsweek reached out to Tucker Carlson by email

902
01:10:40.920 --> 01:10:45.000
the request comment. He did not
comment. Yeah he's probably not going to

903
01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:49.800
and I don't blame him, but
yeah, everyone's just losing their damn mind.

904
01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:56.960
Now then, an one of our
MSNBC lady who was damn near in

905
01:10:57.039 --> 01:11:02.439
tears yesterday. That's what's baffling to
me. And these are the same folks

906
01:11:02.479 --> 01:11:06.439
who are more than happy to sit
there and hold a microphone and let you

907
01:11:06.479 --> 01:11:12.319
know, Biden run around unchecked and
say stuff like every day between now and

908
01:11:12.359 --> 01:11:15.600
November. The American people are gonna
know that the only reason the border is

909
01:11:15.640 --> 01:11:20.520
not secure, is Donald Trump and
his MAGA Republican friends, right, So

910
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:26.840
obviously you guys have a strong commitment
to making sure that what you think to

911
01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:31.720
be inaccurate or misinformation or disinformation or
propaganda or any of it, which arguably

912
01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:36.880
every all of those labels applied to
that audio I just played. You'll fawn

913
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:42.439
over that dude, you'll excuse the
fact that he's now in three days time,

914
01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:47.960
bragged about having recent conversations with dead
world leaders. He did it again,

915
01:11:48.039 --> 01:11:51.039
by the way, if you don't
know, he was at a fundraiser

916
01:11:51.159 --> 01:11:56.920
yesterday and up in New York.
It was talking about sitting down with the

917
01:11:57.000 --> 01:12:01.520
former German chancellor who died in he's
sixteen or seventeen, and he was saying

918
01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:06.399
that he was with this dude in
twenty twenty one. This after the whole

919
01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:14.920
thing with the former French prime minister. So you know, save me your

920
01:12:14.920 --> 01:12:20.039
tears. Don't really care, all
right? Uh oh, hold on another

921
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:25.079
tower call, let's do this,
yes, Jake, what's up? Hey

922
01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:29.000
Waarren, I know what happened to
that tower? Okay, Well, there's

923
01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:30.239
a reward, so you have to
give you the number or you want to

924
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:34.119
tell us I'm gonna tell you,
Uh, it burned down, fell over,

925
01:12:34.199 --> 01:12:43.159
than think into the swamp. So
there's not a I'm looking at that.

926
01:12:43.159 --> 01:12:46.359
There's not a swamp here, sir. Oh one could appear burned out,

927
01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:49.520
fell over, and somebody took it
to the swamp. Oh okay,

928
01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:54.119
are there's a small there's a small
crick in the edge of the field,

929
01:12:54.159 --> 01:12:58.119
and there's a holiday in express so
which explains how they figured out how to

930
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:00.760
do it. Obviously, I guess
they must have say there last night.

931
01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:05.000
But yeah, I don't know.
All right, Well we'll add it.

932
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:08.680
We'll throw it in the hopper.
Okay, sir, all right, add

933
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:14.279
that to me. You'll have to
rebuild the tower at that point. What's

934
01:13:14.279 --> 01:13:15.760
that? You'll have to rebuild the
tower at that point if it fell into

935
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:18.359
the swamp, do we have to
rebuild? You have to rebuild it.

936
01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:21.000
And if that one falls in the
swamp, you do it again. Oh

937
01:13:21.039 --> 01:13:24.960
wow, wow, you're so smart. Where'd you learn that? But the

938
01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:29.640
third tower, it'll stand at least
fourth? All right, now we're under

939
01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:31.800
the fourth. I mean, this
is getting expensive for a small Alabama radio

940
01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:39.680
station. So I'm just saying,
do you the amount of people who are

941
01:13:39.680 --> 01:13:44.880
in detail explaining exactly how you'd thieve
a giant radio tower. Why do you

942
01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:47.720
all know that? Like, we
had one caller and I've got two people

943
01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:50.600
via email who are explaining the logistics
of it. And by the way,

944
01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:56.359
the logistics sound true. Are you
guys out stealing towers? There's something going

945
01:13:56.399 --> 01:14:00.239
on I'm not aware of. Could
you not steal ours? That'll be right,

946
01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:05.319
thanks, Yeah, all you need
is XYZ okay, all right,

947
01:14:05.399 --> 01:14:13.079
well have fun with that. Oh
all right, hold on, dude,

948
01:14:13.119 --> 01:14:20.279
I hate I hate this pop up. Now there's a pop up on red

949
01:14:20.319 --> 01:14:25.000
State. I don't know that website, Red State. I can't even look

950
01:14:25.039 --> 01:14:28.520
at their stuff. It pops up
and it's that generic thing where it takes

951
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:30.319
it over and it's like, hey, do you want to know more?

952
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:34.239
And you can click no and then
it'll close it. Except now the very

953
01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:40.239
same pop up with the same picture
is the words are in Chinese not in

954
01:14:40.319 --> 01:14:44.159
English, so you don't know where
to click. So I don't know.

955
01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:47.159
Maybe we got conquered or something.
All right, let me jump back to

956
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:51.640
jump back to this. And it's
always for the same ad with the chart.

957
01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:55.640
They're like, if you do this
one fitness thing, here's the what

958
01:14:55.760 --> 01:15:00.239
you should do from age eighteen to
twenty five and twenty five to and then

959
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:02.319
it's you know, it's got the
uh the old cut dude on there,

960
01:15:02.680 --> 01:15:06.399
and and they're selling some creatine or
something. I don't even know. No,

961
01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:10.760
creatine actually probably won't kill you.
Whatever they're selling you will kill you.

962
01:15:12.319 --> 01:15:15.199
Roz. You're at the gym this
morning, weren't you? You?

963
01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:17.319
Yes? Yeah? Yes? How
long? How much? How much time

964
01:15:17.319 --> 01:15:20.359
did you put in this? Only
an hour? I decided to sleep in

965
01:15:20.399 --> 01:15:25.880
today. It slept into like three
o'clock. Yeah, three, speaking of

966
01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:30.159
three three hours gym for me today? Virtually yeah? Three hours? Oh

967
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:35.760
wow, yeah, virtually. And
so I am a little sore, not

968
01:15:35.920 --> 01:15:41.279
much. I'm in pretty good shape. So I did an iron Man yesterday

969
01:15:41.640 --> 01:15:45.159
virtually two. So you know,
go into the gym day are you?

970
01:15:45.720 --> 01:15:50.239
Is this because I went up to
on the on the tower story before when

971
01:15:50.279 --> 01:15:54.159
you were talking about climbing of a
tower and I explained how I went up

972
01:15:54.159 --> 01:15:57.319
on a tower during a hurricane?
Is that what this is? Well,

973
01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:00.840
that's just dumb. But not only
was I up, but also it is

974
01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.560
struck by lightning and I was transported
to nineteen fifty five. Of course you

975
01:16:04.600 --> 01:16:09.520
were. Why wouldn't she be?
Yeah, that is everything. Yeah,

976
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:14.319
you'd mom tried to make out with
you, or I'm uncomfortable talking about it,

977
01:16:14.479 --> 01:16:15.720
I would be. I mean that
is that was one of the creepy

978
01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:19.960
elements that I didn't appreciate till I
was older. But yeah, okay,

979
01:16:21.119 --> 01:16:24.880
So anyway, No, I just
found out that if you want to do

980
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:27.840
stuff, if you can just do
it virtually and still get the same credit,

981
01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:31.079
And this is amazing. So the
I'm gonna have a pretty I'm gonna

982
01:16:31.079 --> 01:16:35.119
have a pretty significant workout routine,
gonna do a lot of marathons. It's

983
01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:39.199
gonna be crazy. I think you're
gonna do great. Yeah, how do

984
01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:44.720
I know? Build a Blasio who
yesterday was taking all sorts of grief after

985
01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:53.920
he bragged on he took to the
twitters and the Instagrams to talk about this

986
01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:59.359
this commitment you thought, you know, click advocacy and click protesting, you

987
01:16:59.399 --> 01:17:01.800
know where you just like, ah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm

988
01:17:01.800 --> 01:17:09.159
gonna get involved in like a post
or sign the petition which nobody will ever

989
01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:11.880
give a crap about. And then
you feel like you're doing something because you

990
01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:15.359
used a hashtag, or you changed
your avatar to the Ukrainian flag or whatever.

991
01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:20.399
Well, Bill Deblasio decided he can
go bigger than that. Let me

992
01:17:20.439 --> 01:17:25.560
just read you one of these quote
Wall Street is forcing Americans to invest their

993
01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:31.439
life savings to prop up big Oil. I'm virtually marching to tell them we

994
01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:38.000
want a climate friendly option in every
four oh one k This, by the

995
01:17:38.039 --> 01:17:42.960
way, this is about some you
know folks, including Black Rock themselves,

996
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:46.079
who were looking at these four oh
one and these investment products that didn't that

997
01:17:46.520 --> 01:17:51.680
didn't have energy in them. And
it was it became clear that universities in

998
01:17:51.720 --> 01:18:00.159
some states and unions that invest in
these they had missed out on like a

999
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:04.000
crap ton of money for refusing to
participate. And so people start talking about

1000
01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:06.800
the how they're stupid, and the
Blasio is a big fan of these because

1001
01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:10.720
he thinks he came up with them. Just so we're clear, but anyway,

1002
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:16.319
so he's virtually marching. Do you
want to march side by side with

1003
01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:24.000
me? Just choose donate in the
app and use the hashtag retire big Oil.

1004
01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:27.760
So if you go and you give
five dollars, you can pretend you're

1005
01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:31.760
virtually marching with bilde Blasio. Two. This is great, man. If

1006
01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:35.560
you're just way too lazy to show
up to a rally or go to a

1007
01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:40.239
public you know here, you know, some public meeting where they you know,

1008
01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:45.439
you can speak, or you know, shop candidates and donate to your

1009
01:18:45.479 --> 01:18:48.119
favorites, or even put a sign
in your yard. If all of that

1010
01:18:49.359 --> 01:18:54.920
is too cumbersome upon your way of
life, now you can get the same

1011
01:18:55.079 --> 01:19:02.880
credit by virtually doing it. I
thought the ego trip on somebody who felt

1012
01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:09.479
that they were making a difference because
they used the right hashtags and blacked out

1013
01:19:09.479 --> 01:19:14.680
their photo one day, like those
people were obnoxious in their own self righteousness.

1014
01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:20.680
This is something totally. This is
special. This is virtually marching.

1015
01:19:21.720 --> 01:19:26.640
So there you go. That's the
thing you can do now, thanks to

1016
01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:30.880
Bill de Blasio. All right,
oh what hold on, hold on now,

1017
01:19:30.920 --> 01:19:33.640
we got all cards of crazy calls
here. Yes, Roger, what's

1018
01:19:33.680 --> 01:19:40.560
up? Oh thank goodness you answered. I'm actually having trouble because I'm stuck.

1019
01:19:41.079 --> 01:19:44.000
I'm stuck on the interstate right now. So, uh, you know

1020
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:46.600
how I can get in touch with
the Highway department to see where I can

1021
01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:51.319
travel where there's drawbridge overpasses because I've
got a huge tower on top of my

1022
01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:55.880
truck and uh antenna. I would
call it an antenna, sir. If

1023
01:19:55.880 --> 01:19:58.720
you call it a tower, they
might sup. It's no, it's it's

1024
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:02.000
actually a tower. It's it's about
two hundred and twenty five feet up.

1025
01:20:02.359 --> 01:20:08.119
Oh wow. Yeah. And I'm
in between exit ramps right now. So

1026
01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:11.760
here's what i'd recommend. Are you
in the Triangle or the Triad, sir?

1027
01:20:12.479 --> 01:20:15.560
No, I'm in the Triangle and
I'm on I'm on. I don't

1028
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:18.199
I'm on I forty, which is
and I don't know if you know the

1029
01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:21.760
area, but there's a lot of
overpasses. Yeah, yeah, and I'm

1030
01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:25.239
here's what I'm gonna help you.
Here's what you want to do. You

1031
01:20:25.239 --> 01:20:28.960
got to bypass that you want to
exit onto one of the surface streets,

1032
01:20:29.000 --> 01:20:31.479
Like let's take Wade Avenue. Yeah
yeah, yeah, you're gonna take that

1033
01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:38.239
straight until you hit Capital and then
you'll take Capital to P Street and then

1034
01:20:38.239 --> 01:20:42.319
you want to drive directly under the
P Street Bridge. Here's the problem.

1035
01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:45.439
I can't get there because I'm in
between. But hold on a second.

1036
01:20:45.479 --> 01:20:46.920
Let me tell my buddy. He's
up on top of the tower. Right

1037
01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:51.319
now. Hang on, Hey,
Jimpo, you gotta climb down. Oh,

1038
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:55.159
you gotta climb down right, you
know, we gotta get off the

1039
01:20:55.239 --> 01:20:59.079
highway. Okay, all right?
Oh crap, he just got struck by

1040
01:20:59.159 --> 01:21:04.680
lightning. Huh? What is is
every I have a bottle. My water

1041
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:09.079
is bottled this morning, so I
haven't Is there something in the tap water

1042
01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:12.960
that I'm unaware of? Thank you
for the call there, sir. What

1043
01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:19.279
is happening? What is going on
this morning? How did the tower story?

1044
01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:21.880
Because I got all this other stuff
out, I don't know. But

1045
01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:26.439
this is a top two show.
This is at least top at least top

1046
01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:30.960
five in the history of the show, at least top ten, Buddy,

1047
01:21:30.720 --> 01:21:36.000
top two at least. Okay,
all right, oh god knows what this

1048
01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:41.319
is? Yes, Cory, what's
up? All right? Yeah, I'm

1049
01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:45.359
just calling because I have to defend
Ross's good honor and his good name.

1050
01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:49.319
First, she forgot hold on,
hold on, yeah. First you forgot

1051
01:21:49.479 --> 01:21:55.399
the Pearl Harbor anniversary, which is
unbelievable. And now you're trying to say

1052
01:21:55.439 --> 01:22:01.640
that Ross is a influencer of misinformation
and Boom Big Beer doesn't exist. I

1053
01:22:01.720 --> 01:22:06.880
have a vintage T shirt. Oh
but I got off of the Hayes for

1054
01:22:08.039 --> 01:22:13.079
Sheriff Merch Store because it's the number
one Twitch channel. And this is coming

1055
01:22:13.079 --> 01:22:16.399
from a man that a looted my
own cat to die. Yes, yeah,

1056
01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:24.199
I mean even you know it was
confirmed that your cat was Whiskey was

1057
01:22:24.239 --> 01:22:28.880
sitting in the window when you went
on that vacation. I bought Paul.

1058
01:22:29.159 --> 01:22:31.359
And here you are just saying that
Ross is a liar? Would you like

1059
01:22:31.600 --> 01:22:34.800
Corey? I got thirty seconds.
Here's my confession. Okay, you cracked

1060
01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:38.920
the case. What I did is
I brought Whiskey to the field in Jasper,

1061
01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:41.640
Alabama. I cut a guide wire
and the poor thing was crushed by

1062
01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:45.119
a two hundred foot tower. All
right, there you saw that. You're

1063
01:22:45.159 --> 01:22:48.640
happy? All Right? I got
I go. I gotta go to break

1064
01:22:48.880 --> 01:22:51.960
get out of here. All right, everybody's drunk this morning. Welcome to

1065
01:22:53.000 --> 01:22:57.000
the Everybody's Drunk Show one day.
If you didn't get the Pearl Harbor reference,

1066
01:22:57.000 --> 01:23:00.520
I'll reiterate what that is. And
God helped me. We're going to

1067
01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:02.399
get to our Florida man story next. Hang on, do you want a

1068
01:23:02.439 --> 01:23:05.319
feel good story? I will give
that to you coming up here in just

1069
01:23:05.479 --> 01:23:12.159
a few minutes. But first I
have to ying ying to the yang here,

1070
01:23:12.800 --> 01:23:18.600
and this is gonna make you lose
your mind. Man. The the

1071
01:23:18.840 --> 01:23:26.479
power and I and I don't mean
a positive power that has come with you

1072
01:23:26.520 --> 01:23:30.439
know, walking around with essentially a
movie set in your pocket in the form

1073
01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:35.000
of you know, instantly being able
to go live high quality footage, good

1074
01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:41.880
audio, and of course showing everybody
everything you do all the time. Uh,

1075
01:23:42.039 --> 01:23:45.319
people will take advantage of it.
And in public settings it's really obnoxious.

1076
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:49.239
Who's the one idiot who runs around
and like bumps people? But he

1077
01:23:49.279 --> 01:23:56.079
has bodyguards and that's how he does
videos on YouTube? Like somebody's gonna shoot

1078
01:23:56.079 --> 01:23:59.600
that dude. I don't want it
to happen. I think he's obnoxious And

1079
01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:01.319
if you got lost in the woods, I wouldn't be sad. But like

1080
01:24:02.079 --> 01:24:05.720
we saw what happened at that Uh
you were that the guy was picking up

1081
01:24:05.760 --> 01:24:10.560
the food order for a door dash
or whatever. He shot that dude up

1082
01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:15.760
at that mall in Virginia, Like, all right, I don't think this

1083
01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:18.840
is quite that, but this is
this is worse somehow in a whole different

1084
01:24:18.880 --> 01:24:27.000
way. So in the video you
see this woman what is her name,

1085
01:24:30.680 --> 01:24:33.760
Ash really that's you know what,
No, you don't get to be named

1086
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.359
Ash. That's your name. It's
probably Ash. You're gonna be called Ash

1087
01:24:36.439 --> 01:24:41.680
unless you have a chainsaw for a
hand. You don't get to be called

1088
01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:47.159
Ash. It's Bruce Campbell's. But
anyway, all right, So here here's

1089
01:24:47.199 --> 01:24:50.920
the gist. So the woman is, she's at a self checkout at a

1090
01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:55.800
grocery store, and the kid is
sitting you know, the checkouts, right,

1091
01:24:55.800 --> 01:24:59.119
You got the little scanner area,
and then on both sides you generally

1092
01:24:59.159 --> 01:25:01.399
have like a flat air where the
bags are. So she's got the kid

1093
01:25:01.479 --> 01:25:05.039
kind of propped up on one of
the sides there as she is grabbing things

1094
01:25:05.039 --> 01:25:10.000
out of the cart and scanning them
and looking them up and doing all that,

1095
01:25:10.159 --> 01:25:14.800
except every time she pulls something out
of the cart, rather than just

1096
01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:18.479
scanning it, she is having the
toddler say what it is, and then

1097
01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:24.720
quizzing the toddler and correcting the toddler
and pronunciation and all of that. It

1098
01:25:24.800 --> 01:25:30.840
is clearly taking a crap ton more
time than it would normally take, and

1099
01:25:31.720 --> 01:25:42.960
there is a line of people behind
her who are clearly irritated as she is.

1100
01:25:43.199 --> 01:25:48.279
Just she's taking an incredible amount of
time because she is she's using this

1101
01:25:48.319 --> 01:25:56.640
as a teachable moment, and that's
what she wrote. Yes, she said,

1102
01:25:56.720 --> 01:25:59.920
quote, you know, the world
is a child's classroom. No better

1103
01:26:00.199 --> 01:26:05.479
to build confidence and independence by teaching
kids to do things for themselves or teaching

1104
01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:11.359
them to learn at every moment.
So in the video, which she posted

1105
01:26:11.439 --> 01:26:15.239
to was a Instagram initially, I
guess Instagram, she's doing her weekly grocery

1106
01:26:15.279 --> 01:26:20.880
shopping with the toddler and she's going
through and every item she scans is taking

1107
01:26:20.960 --> 01:26:26.720
thirty seconds because you're dealing with a
toddler who doesn't need to be involved in

1108
01:26:26.760 --> 01:26:30.039
this, but is. And she
then posts the video because she was quote

1109
01:26:30.039 --> 01:26:36.640
irritated at how rude people were being
behind her. In the video, she

1110
01:26:38.399 --> 01:26:43.399
writes POV the line behind you is
growing and people are looking at you,

1111
01:26:43.520 --> 01:26:48.279
but you don't care because your child
is learning and rushing is what gives kids

1112
01:26:48.439 --> 01:26:55.119
anxiety. In the video, she
slowly asked the child the names of every

1113
01:26:55.119 --> 01:27:00.560
fruit and vegetable and encourages the kid
to pitch in and help. The entire

1114
01:27:00.600 --> 01:27:05.319
clip is captioned Sunday Mornings. This
supermarket is designed for families. Take a

1115
01:27:05.359 --> 01:27:09.640
step back. If you think this
is moving too slow. I think we

1116
01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:13.920
make a pretty good team. Hashtag
toddler life. I've never met that.

1117
01:27:14.119 --> 01:27:15.920
Why do I hate this woman so
much? Ross? And I've never met

1118
01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:20.000
her? What is because you should? Okay, all right, I just

1119
01:27:20.039 --> 01:27:23.960
want to make sure I'm not in
the wrong here. Now. There's a

1120
01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:27.399
time and place for everything. Yeah, that is not it. When I

1121
01:27:27.439 --> 01:27:30.760
do one of those machines of self
checkout, it just annoys me, like

1122
01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:34.399
a regular person. Going slow drives
me absolutely insane. When it's my turn,

1123
01:27:34.760 --> 01:27:40.000
dude, I am like, yeah, head of Blackwards liquid terminator mode.

1124
01:27:40.039 --> 01:27:43.079
I get so fast efficient. I
want to be so fast with the

1125
01:27:43.079 --> 01:27:45.279
people behind me are like, wow, it's amazing because I considerate the people

1126
01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:50.119
behind me. Yeah, she's she
considered them and then she changed the vibe

1127
01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:56.640
of her video because they were,
you know, giving her stinky and she's

1128
01:27:56.680 --> 01:27:59.600
just decide, well, I'm here
with my kids, so and I'm teaching

1129
01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:01.640
my kid safe, which is good. I'm glad. I'm glad you're helping

1130
01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:06.720
educate your kid. Something tells me
that probably that will be limited to state

1131
01:28:06.760 --> 01:28:11.199
approoved topics, and you'll probably fall
in line because you strike me as an

1132
01:28:11.199 --> 01:28:16.560
idiot. But no, screw you
sitting there and then to make I don't

1133
01:28:17.159 --> 01:28:23.199
you know what it is. It's
like I can't fathom videos. And maybe

1134
01:28:23.199 --> 01:28:28.439
it's because I have a conscience or
something like whenever I see a video like

1135
01:28:28.479 --> 01:28:31.000
that or I see some I see
one of those gym videos where somebody set

1136
01:28:31.079 --> 01:28:34.279
up a camera right in the middle
of where everyone walks and then is losing

1137
01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:39.359
their crap because people are walking there, like how do you get there?

1138
01:28:39.920 --> 01:28:47.279
How are you so unaware and have
no you know what? I maybe that

1139
01:28:47.359 --> 01:28:50.159
might be a good place to be
because I mean, think about all the

1140
01:28:50.159 --> 01:28:55.359
ways in which I've had to either
police myself, change what I'm doing right,

1141
01:28:55.439 --> 01:29:00.520
adapt and overcome because I'm thinking about, well, how will this impact

1142
01:29:00.560 --> 01:29:02.840
other people? And I don't want
to be that guy, and so like

1143
01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:10.079
those instances are things that happen a
lot, and yet this woman never has

1144
01:29:10.119 --> 01:29:12.720
to worry about that, and I
feel like that would be amazing. So

1145
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:15.239
I don't know, maybe I'm in
the wrong boat. And check this out.

1146
01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:23.159
All right, there's your feel good
story. So a Oklahoma man by

1147
01:29:23.159 --> 01:29:30.800
the name of Scott Sepulpa was announcing
or commentating a high school girls was it

1148
01:29:30.880 --> 01:29:34.880
basketball basketball game. Okay, all
right, and you know, so this

1149
01:29:34.960 --> 01:29:39.600
is this is not big town,
this is not a you know, Sepulpa

1150
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:45.720
is or was actually a teacher for
the school and a part time radio guy.

1151
01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:50.640
So he's doing he's doing the play
by play for the high school sports.

1152
01:29:50.760 --> 01:29:55.000
It's not a little local am whatever. They're doing a stream all that,

1153
01:29:55.680 --> 01:30:03.960
and the newspaper, The Oklahoma and
wrote a big story that Sepulpa had

1154
01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:12.119
made really racist remarks during the broadcast, specifically when one of the team's players

1155
01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:16.560
kneeled during the national anthem. The
Oklahoma reported that Sepulpa said, and I

1156
01:30:16.680 --> 01:30:21.720
quote, they're kneeling, f ing
N words. I hope they get their

1157
01:30:21.720 --> 01:30:26.800
butts kicked f them. I hope
they lose. They're gonna kneel like that,

1158
01:30:26.920 --> 01:30:30.760
and then once again use the N
word. And they reported that,

1159
01:30:32.079 --> 01:30:34.840
which that's I mean, that's pretty
crazy. Ross. Can you believe,

1160
01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:38.319
I mean, can you think if
like we said that on the air,

1161
01:30:38.359 --> 01:30:42.319
that'd be that's a career over.
Yeah, yeah, you're done. You're

1162
01:30:42.359 --> 01:30:46.119
done. So man, there is
one little problem. Supaulpa never said that.

1163
01:30:48.159 --> 01:30:53.439
He never said that at all.
Now, there was another person by

1164
01:30:53.439 --> 01:30:57.159
the name of Matt Rowan, who
was also doing a stream, just a

1165
01:30:57.199 --> 01:31:00.600
stream was not on radio, who
did say that because he didn't he failed

1166
01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:04.000
to WRECT and he doesn't like as
a hobby thing and he, I guess

1167
01:31:04.039 --> 01:31:08.960
didn't realize he was still streaming or
whatever. He did say that. He

1168
01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:13.319
even admits it, and it was
after Sepulpa's name, the actual guy who's

1169
01:31:13.359 --> 01:31:18.239
doing the broadcast mentioned that or he
showed up in there. Actually Norman contacted

1170
01:31:18.279 --> 01:31:21.920
the paper and went, nah,
that was me, and I did it

1171
01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:27.640
because I'm diabetic and I had little
blood sugar. But whatever. So Supulpa

1172
01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:33.000
in the three hours his name was
up three hours, had his teaching license

1173
01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:42.439
revoked, was fired. He has
a side business of audio, obviously drawn

1174
01:31:42.520 --> 01:31:46.039
on his radio enthusiasm, and he
would do DJ stuff in a variety of

1175
01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:51.880
other things. He said that all
of his main clients send him emails saying

1176
01:31:51.880 --> 01:32:00.920
that they're severing ties with him.
He received death threats three hours. He

1177
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:06.560
said his life was decimated, and
only after Norman contacted the paper would the

1178
01:32:06.600 --> 01:32:11.479
newspaper make the change. The paper, by the way, owned by Gannett

1179
01:32:11.479 --> 01:32:14.960
who obviously they own media properties here
in North Carolina, including in the triad

1180
01:32:15.079 --> 01:32:21.279
so well, a jury in Oklahoma
has spoken and awarded him twenty five million

1181
01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:29.359
dollars. The paper has to pay
him twenty five million dollars. Now,

1182
01:32:29.359 --> 01:32:32.319
the paper obviously said their lawyers say, ah, this is wrong. We're

1183
01:32:32.439 --> 01:32:39.359
human. Humans make mistakes. You
didn't misspelled dude's name. Don't give me

1184
01:32:39.399 --> 01:32:43.640
this garbage. You're right. People
do make mistakes, and one of the

1185
01:32:43.720 --> 01:32:48.800
ways you can make mistakes is through
not having you know, not exercising due

1186
01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:54.359
diligence or caution. Right, you
have to in the same way that if

1187
01:32:54.359 --> 01:32:57.199
I see a story on a site
that I don't recognize, I'll go double

1188
01:32:57.279 --> 01:33:00.520
check it. You put this dude
on blasts saying he said this stuff,

1189
01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:02.680
and you did it right in the
middle of you know, when Minneapolis was

1190
01:33:02.680 --> 01:33:06.119
still on fire, and you didn't
even bother to check it, and then

1191
01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:10.000
you didn't even and you would even
take it down when you were first contacted.

1192
01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:13.880
I'm surprised they only it's Oklahoma.
That's why it's only twenty five million,

1193
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:20.439
five million actual damages, twenty million
in compensatory punitive. And the newspaper's

1194
01:33:20.439 --> 01:33:26.560
saying that this will spell the end
for reporting, especially among smaller media properties

1195
01:33:26.560 --> 01:33:30.880
and other newspapers, so they will
have to appeal. I don't know.

1196
01:33:30.319 --> 01:33:36.680
I'm good. That's not a whoopsie. You said this. Dude said all

1197
01:33:36.720 --> 01:33:40.800
this at a time when there was
a there was a good likelihood that if

1198
01:33:40.800 --> 01:33:44.199
somebody saw him on the street that
they would do him physical harm. And

1199
01:33:44.239 --> 01:33:46.439
he's fired, and he got his
teaching license revoked and all of his clients

1200
01:33:46.520 --> 01:33:53.800
left in three hours. So write
the check, shut up and do better.

1201
01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:57.000
How's that all right? Raced agic? Real quick, he's here to

1202
01:33:57.000 --> 01:34:00.479
give the weather. We won't sue
him if he's wrong. But well,

1203
01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:01.920
I owe you the theme of the
party. I'll make that quick end.

1204
01:34:02.319 --> 01:34:08.119
Yes, yeah, it's it's Taylor
Swift themed. You're not women Swift to

1205
01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:14.399
stop. Yes, the women before
I could even before I could even good,

1206
01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:17.520
I'm sorry. Who wears the King
of the castle right? For some

1207
01:34:17.600 --> 01:34:20.880
reason? Not this time. Usually
I could have some input, but the

1208
01:34:21.239 --> 01:34:26.199
wives all came up with a thing. They're they're bringing like I don't know,

1209
01:34:26.279 --> 01:34:29.760
it's like it, oh god,
they're like the theme of the songs,

1210
01:34:29.800 --> 01:34:31.920
like we're gonna have red sand grease, I mean red sangreas the thing.

1211
01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:34.560
But it makes sense because of the
album. I'm like, oh gosh,

1212
01:34:34.720 --> 01:34:39.720
so I'm just gonna go it's not
too late to burn your house down.

1213
01:34:41.159 --> 01:34:45.359
Yeah, that too, but what
will be any of that? So

1214
01:34:45.520 --> 01:34:48.359
yeah, that's how it is.
Maybe more on that tomorrow. But we're

1215
01:34:48.359 --> 01:34:51.399
in good shape, good outdoor weather
until the weekend, when we'll get some

1216
01:34:51.439 --> 01:34:56.199
showers in here. Sun, high
clouds today, mid upper fifties, a

1217
01:34:56.279 --> 01:35:00.319
near forty tonight, so pretty mild
on the overnight lows upper fifty his low

1218
01:35:00.399 --> 01:35:01.760
sixties, and cloudy tomorrow, with
the rain coming in for the weekend.

1219
01:35:02.800 --> 01:35:06.399
Better chance Saturday night and Sunday than
it is Saturday. Maybe a little rain

1220
01:35:06.520 --> 01:35:11.239
Saturday, very warm too, on
either side of seventy by a few degrees,

1221
01:35:11.279 --> 01:35:14.079
depends on where you are, and
then rain, maybe a steady period

1222
01:35:14.119 --> 01:35:17.760
of rain Saturday night. Sunday.
The showers will taper off in the afternoon,

1223
01:35:17.760 --> 01:35:21.319
but there could be another round tomorrow. What's that Sunday night. It's

1224
01:35:21.359 --> 01:35:25.960
a Monday, and the mild weather
is going to continue. Casey. I

1225
01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:30.840
think mid late next week we'll start
getting a little cooler, maybe colder,

1226
01:35:30.920 --> 01:35:31.960
but you know, we'll see,
we'll see, all right, now,

1227
01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:34.560
it's gonna stay mild, Yeah,
I can't even think about anything else with

1228
01:35:34.600 --> 01:35:39.520
this party. We'll get into it
tomorrow. Did you bring your man card?

1229
01:35:39.560 --> 01:35:42.199
You may not leave with them?
All right, see it and we'll

1230
01:35:42.199 --> 01:35:45.640
be back. Hang on. Good
morning, case Say. Stocks advanced yesterday,

1231
01:35:45.760 --> 01:35:48.239
futures are mixed this morning. S
and P and Nasdaq futures are a

1232
01:35:48.239 --> 01:35:53.079
little bit lower. The Dow futures
are up twenty one points at the moment.

1233
01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:57.520
Latest data from the labor departments suggests
the job market remains healthy. The

1234
01:35:57.600 --> 01:36:01.439
number of workers filing new claims for
them deployment benefits fell by nine thousand to

1235
01:36:01.479 --> 01:36:06.000
two hundred eighteen thousand last week.
A decline to the number of continuing claims

1236
01:36:06.039 --> 01:36:11.720
also points to a solid job market. There's layoff news from the music industry.

1237
01:36:11.760 --> 01:36:15.359
Warner Music is planning to cut about
six hundred jobs that would be ten

1238
01:36:15.439 --> 01:36:19.079
percent of its staff, and Walt
Disney's latest quarterly earnings were better than expected.

1239
01:36:19.079 --> 01:36:25.000
The entertainment company also issued an upbeat
profit forecast for the year, saying

1240
01:36:25.039 --> 01:36:30.079
it's benefiting from cost cuts and strength
in its international theme parks. The number

1241
01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:34.159
of Disney Plus subscribers, though Casey
declined. The company raised the price of

1242
01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:39.159
the streaming service, and that sent
the subscriber base down a bit. Casey.

1243
01:36:39.680 --> 01:36:42.319
All right, thanks Jeff. Sorry
for the short shortness there. It's

1244
01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:44.880
been a weird weather thing. All
right, appreciate it. Okay, have

1245
01:36:44.920 --> 01:36:45.960
a good day, take care.
Yep, there you go. Jeff Pellinger,

1246
01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:49.159
Bloomberg News. Oh my gosh,
I love this story. Ross.

1247
01:36:49.680 --> 01:36:56.680
We have to get on this you
ready. Lawmakers in Hawaii are considering becoming

1248
01:36:56.720 --> 01:37:03.600
the first state who has designated an
Offish hand gesture. What do you think

1249
01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:13.279
the gesture is? The shaka?
Yeah, it makes sense, but I'm

1250
01:37:13.399 --> 01:37:15.840
very clear in how I'm pronouncing this
because you don't want to screw up and

1251
01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:18.520
be like and right, the shocker. Well it sounds like you might be

1252
01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:21.920
saying that if you're like from Boston. Yeah, well I bet that is

1253
01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:26.079
their official hand gesture up there.
But yeah, the shaka. If you

1254
01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:30.920
don't know what that is, put
all of your fingers, your your middle

1255
01:37:30.960 --> 01:37:32.960
finger in the two next to it
and just you're pinky and your thumb out

1256
01:37:32.960 --> 01:37:36.800
and then shake it back or spit
it back and forth. That's that is

1257
01:37:38.119 --> 01:37:41.319
which. Yeah, you know,
it makes sense that it is a Hawaii

1258
01:37:41.439 --> 01:37:45.520
thing, but like, also,
it sounds like the shaker and if I

1259
01:37:45.560 --> 01:37:51.319
wouldn't google that, and also I
what hand gesture should North Carolinas be?

1260
01:37:51.399 --> 01:37:54.800
We may have to talk about this
tomorrow. I think we're enough to talk

1261
01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:58.279
about this tomorrow. I mean,
I know the one that I like to

1262
01:37:58.359 --> 01:38:00.640
use on I forty, but I
don't know if they want to enshrine them.

1263
01:38:02.560 --> 01:38:06.000
But maybe if you all would not
do under the speed limit in the

1264
01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:12.079
left lane, we wouldn't need it. So there's that, all right?

1265
01:38:12.800 --> 01:38:15.000
Sorry you got distracted there by the
way, the amount of moms riding me

1266
01:38:15.159 --> 01:38:18.279
losing their crap over mom in line
going this is what I do with my

1267
01:38:18.399 --> 01:38:24.720
kids at home, unloading groceries,
which is perfect. That makes perfect sense,

1268
01:38:24.800 --> 01:38:26.680
right, you want to teach your
kid about all the groceries, do

1269
01:38:26.760 --> 01:38:30.159
that. But I'm also baffled that
kids sitting on the scale. You ever

1270
01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:33.079
tried to, like put your smartphone
on the scale while you're doing groceries.

1271
01:38:33.119 --> 01:38:39.079
What happens at a self checkout?
It'll like stitle gum up the whole work.

1272
01:38:39.159 --> 01:38:41.239
So how do you put a whole
kid there? I don't even know

1273
01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:46.880
how that works. That's just confusing
and real quick. I promised to Florida

1274
01:38:46.920 --> 01:38:51.840
man, so let's do this.
Oh. Also, Ross Alison wrote and

1275
01:38:51.920 --> 01:38:58.960
said that she recently took a trip
from the Tryad to Boon to see the

1276
01:38:59.000 --> 01:39:00.680
beer. There was no beer.
You were there. You misled her,

1277
01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:05.039
and she's suing for twenty five millions. So sucks for you, and it

1278
01:39:05.079 --> 01:39:10.479
sucks for you and your show.
Right, No, it just specifically says

1279
01:39:10.560 --> 01:39:13.039
you. I wish it's not the
name of the show, though it sucks

1280
01:39:13.039 --> 01:39:15.359
for you. I'll be fine.
I'll be fine. I don't know, man,
