If I sound less than fully rested, it is because I continue to fight
the battle bug, not be sick bug. But you know, the the
story from Monday, so that continues to be fun. Apparently they found some
reinforcements, so but you know, it's a it's a process. So that
is uh, that is super fun. But you know, we'll truck through
this. We've got enough dumb stuff to keep me awake. And that's not
just the some of the political stories. We have a few kickers. We
have a Florida well, I guess technically the Florida man's whole cogan, So
we'll get the hulkster. Got a story there. Let's see here, just
kind of scanning over. Oh man, dude, I am fascinated by the
the evolution of cryogenic freezing. But it makes sense and it's a plot point
in time travel movies all the time. So the fact that they're only now
thinking of it, we'll get into that. Let's see Mark Robinson in the
news for giving the new it is a brand new award in North Carolina,
a medal of honor for first responders. So of course, rather than you
know, honoring the individual getting the award, we got to turn it into
why do you want to murder your political opponents? Because you just knew it
was going to go there. And I love it when a story re emerged,
or a story emerges that allows me to jump back in the way back
machine with you and wint out how I was right, And once again I
right. I did tweet on it yesterday, so some of you got a
little teaser, but I'll explain what's going on there. Aoc for two days
in the row is in the news, and once again it's not for being
smart and uh oh yeah, one am I oh eight oh five, Nerd
corresponded Stephen Kent. He'll join us and we get a few things to get
into now. I still have not seen any of the Acolyte, but every
week I do see headlines of people's thoughts and tweets, but also like review
stuff, and it would lead me to believe that somehow every episode continues to
get worse. That's the conclusion I have, but I have not viewed it.
And then ray State is like, no, it's amazing. Steven is
you know he's a fan of basically all the Star Wars products, which I
get. Look, some people are just gonna nerd out on this stuff.
So I guess I'm kind of curious what the breaking point is, right when
are you just like, nah, I'm out. That's it. You ever
walked away from a show that was that was it, it was your big
show, it was the thing that you loved more than anything, and then
just one day you're like, I can't take it anymore. That's that's right.
I mean, that's a that's the thing. If you if you put
in like five years, I remember some people with lost, although you kind
of had to get to the end. I mean, it doesn't count.
If you get to the end. You gotta do it. Like well,
there's still I don't know, five six episodes left, Like Game of Throne
Season A really doesn't count because everyone made it till those last you know,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna spoil it. If you haven't watched it.
It's by the way, it's fine. I know some people are gonna be
it. It's fine because the series is phenomenal. But sometimes you just gotta
you gotta pull up stakes. Now. Sometimes it could be they change actors.
What was the Charlie Sheen show two and a half men? Right,
So he's out because he got into a fight with the producer. Kutcher comes
in. I don't even know how many seasons they did with Kutcher. There
wasn't much, so that doesn't count either. But I think that's how it
was with Walking Dead. But you made it till the end, didn't I
know? I did not like they. Rick left the show, and it
was soon thereafter. I was like, I'm out. Oh I in my
mind, I was like, no. I think he watched the whole thing,
and he kept chugging along and checking along. And now for some reason,
Darryl, I guess, is in France or something. Darryl's in Paris,
so they have French zombies. Yeah, they made the truck across the
Atlantic. That's all I know. And Rick is back with Micheonone or something.
I don't care. How hard are the French zombies, you know what
I mean? And I'm not even gonna do this surrender thing like you ever
see French people who have anything to do during the day. Not really,
It's a pretty lase fair. There's a reason it's called lase fair. Right,
So we'll pick his brain with our NERD corresponded segment. George Clooney,
all the scene waters and oh my goodness, if you thought the college moon
bat Gaza Hamas protesters with their kerchiefs and their face covered because they're you know,
concerned about safety, you thought the ones that we had here in the
US were doozy, And don't get me wrong, they are London stepping up.
Dude. Yeah, have we got have we got a piece of audio
for you? Apparently there was there was some sort of arrest as per usual.
It was completely unwarranted and bigotry and racism and all theisms are involved,
and they have video and they're they're calling each other comrades. So you just
you just know whatever's gonna be coming, it's gonna be great and it does
not disappoint. In fact, you know what, Let's do this. We'll
take a break, come back and we'll start today's rapid fire bucket of weirdness.
There's no way else to describe it. Stack of stories. Next on
the CaCO Day Radio program, CaCO Day Radio Program, and boy, okay,
all right, off to London. Off to London and this insanity and
by this insanity I mean basically Columbia University Hamas protesters holding insane press conferences.
Everything is everything stacked against them, their freedom fighters, their comrades, but
with a British accent. So I don't know. I guess maybe it's different
that way. Specifically, what was the university? Well, it doesn't matter.
It's one of the colleges in London. I don't really care. You
don't care. You just want to hear the audio. I promise you.
Let us do this thing. Police Forces hospitalize one of our comrades. Male
officers touched a disabled Muslim trans person of color without consent. Well, I'm
sorry, what, Ross, do you have the checklist thing and free grab
the checklist thing? All right? That's the that is the that is the
intersectionality, diversity and checklist. It's kind of like the ones that they,
you know, like to slip kids in school and go, oh are bad?
All right? So if you could check from each of the categories here,
let's do this. Police Forces hospital lies one of our comrades. Mail
officers touched as the same You know what, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I know you. Ross was getting ready to write, I said, I
said they called each other comrades. I apparently was wrong. What is a
comrade? Is that a raid by communists? So is there still very confused?
I'm sorry, we got to check boxes. Let's do this. Police
Forces hospital lies one of our comrades, mail officers touched a disabled Muslim transpuss.
Well, I would point out, I'm sorry, Ross is still right.
I don't worry. We'll get to it. That might be the fastest
anyone got to see a doctor with the NIH. So you know, I'm
making lemonade forgetting lemons. All right, this time we will get through the
checklists. Police Forces hospitalize one of our comrades. Male officers touched a disabled
Muslim transperson of color without consent and refuse to give them medical treatment and attention,
and then for over an hour, proceeded to obstruct the ambulance from leaving
with the injured comrade, who was in and out of consciousness. Okay,
I'm just gonna pause. We won't restart it. Obstructing an ambulance huh with
protests, but now you have a problem with that, huh? Okay,
all right, anyway, go ahead. Ah Whilst mocking and laughing at them
and purposefully misendering them, all these crimes by London Met's brutal force are filmed
and documented by numerous witnesses in full. They feel that they can act with
impunity. It's time to show them that the people are de monding for justice.
Okay, let me uh, let me ask something. Uh And and
look, I understand that even within the UK police force over there Scotland Yard,
they got door kickers, they got swat, they got all you know,
so they got they got legit and I'm not they got says dudes rolling
into that. That's fine, I'm not talking about that. But your standard
Bobby or whatever? Do they still call him that? I don't even know.
This is that when when you envision a brutal law enforcement officer, is
that who it is? Is? That? Is it the copper? The
copper on the stroll spinning the baton with the pith helmet looking thing. Did
you see the Scotland Yard dude getting lit up and his partner just by some
mirando dude on the street. There was a video I don't know, like
a month ago. All right, how many boxes did we get? All
right, let's get the grand total in here, figure this out, and
that's all of them right by my math that that might be the frist that's
the that's literally what is joked about? Right? When somebody ticks like three
of them, you're like, well, the only way you're gonna lose the
uh you know, the intersectionality off is if it is a gay, Muslim,
transpurs handicapped or some like I can't remember everything that needs to go in
there, and like they nailed it on the first take. Also, what's
the beef with the male officers? Who's uh gender? You're assuming when you
don't tell me the transgender nature of your comrade, how am I supposed to
judge? In fact? Uh? You know, war crimes were committed police
forces hospitalize one of our comrades. Male officers touched a disabled Muslim trans person
of color without consent? Is there anything missing? I don't believe there's anything
missing, So congrats on that. Look our protest, this is you know
what this is. This is kind of the beef I have with the uh
the topless female protesters. I will acquiesce that when I see you know,
out of control, you know, topless feminists with you know, black words
painted over their chesticles in in the US, and then I see them like
over in Croatia. It's not even a contest, but I'm I'm willing to
listen to what the crow At women are mad about. It's probably insanely fixable
too, Whereas you know, you got to have perpetual grievances to keep the
dream alive over here. But still we're not bringing our best and brightest.
Are are our perkiest, and sure as hell not our thinnest. So I
feel like UK just pulled into a lead and I hate to see that.
We're on the eve of the Olympics. Man, it's we got competition run
through our veins. We should take inspiration from the soccer riot that we had
in North Carolina last night. Did you guys know we had a soccer riot
in North Carolina? Was there toilet involved? No? Ah, very no,
Yes, that was my thing too. I'm like, oh my gosh.
Bank of America Stadium hosting one of the semi finals for Copa. We're
not in it because we lost to Uruguay, which was one of the teams
they're playing Colombia, who don't have particular beef with each other. They're not
anywhere near each other, buddy. It got crazy Bank of yet, you
know, And that's that's the level of passion that's the that's the level of
passion you're gonna see with you know, with uh, you know, Latin
American soccer fans, not just them, you got Scottish soccer hooligans. Stuff
can get crazy over in uh in Southeast Asia too. So I don't want
to uh want to leave anybody out here. Yeah. So Colombia beat Uruguay
won nothing. After the final whistle, players from both teams got into a
heated altercation on the field. Had to be separated. Things build over,
of course, into the stands, because that's the rule. When your teams
by, you have to fight. You know, you gotta, you gotta
show up for your team. Man. I think I'm gonna go h old
sherman on him. That's my plan. Now we're gonna go. We're gonna
go full, get out of the house, the whole thing for a for
a period of time, because I am not here for the slow game.
I want decisive victory, victory against you know, insert whoever it is,
the Nazis, the Japanese, uh, you know, the Japanese Air Force
and Navy, my my political opponents. Well that's according to W. R.
E. L. And apparently others. What Mark Robinson said, Remember
we played the audio. Let's go ahead and do that again, and I'll
explain what happened yesterday. Kim some questions again, he is the hold on
wrong one. Here we go. Here is Mark Robinson speaking at a church,
and of course it was then little Clippy Clippy to some of this turned
into the newest Mark Robinson wants to you know, incite violence meme ajore by
some really dishonest people who frankly should have better ideas than this, Like there's
a there's a b. I'm not gonna tell you what it is. There's
a far better way to use this for political points because you've gone so far.
I looked at many of the tweets, including uh the chairwoman of the
party, Anderson Clayton and like people who have vote blue no matter who,
or even like eh yeah, no right, and if you've lost vote blue
no matter who, hashtag dude who. If you go look at his replies,
is it just trolls can conservatives all day? I don't know what you're
doing, all right, So here's what Robinson actually said, and then we'll
get to the update. We now find ourselves struggling with people who have evil
intents. You know, as a time when we used to meet evil on
the battlefield. And just to be clear, when we're talking about people with
evil intent, these to be people who rape and kill children, or people
who murder other you know, go out and murder people for six dollars in
the till or whatever it is. Okay, but this is where we start,
So let's start here. We now find ourselves struggling with people who have
evil intents, you know as a time when we used to meet evil on
the battlefield. And guess what we did to it. We killed it.
We didn't quibble about it. We didn't argue about it, we didn't fight
about it. We killed it. When the Japanese bob Pearl harbor, what
do we do? We flew to Japan and we killed the Japanese army and
navy. We didn't even quibble about it. I didn't start this fight.
You did. You wanted to be left alone. You should have left me
alone. We didn't argue and capitulate and talk about, well maybe we should
and fight the Nazis that hard. No, they're bad. Killed him better
be fair. Neville Chamberlain did make that argument. But you know, anyway,
I'm sorry go ahead. Some liberals somewhere is gonna say that sounds awful
too bad. Get mad at me if you want to. Some folks need
killing, all right, so and a little order of operation thing there.
But there's two things that Mark's talking about, as I understand it now,
I believe most people understand it. One the really nefarious with the you know,
doing horrible things to children group, which I would like to think we
could agree, but I had to watch the California testimony. I didn't run
the audio the other day, but where they were arguing that we shouldn't have
a law that has an accelerated penalty for buying a child for sex because it
would quote unfairly target the LGBTQ community. Those were actual arguments being made,
which, frankly, if you're most in the LGBTQ community, that should upset
you that people who are like posing as your allies are in saying that.
But I digress. And then he's talking about the concept of evil, and
you don't just kill evil with a bullet. You kill it with ideas,
you kill it with structure, you kill it with religion. Right, not
everything has to be at the at the you know, the end of the
barrel of a gun. But the way that Mark said it allowed those perfect
clip points. So here we find ourselves. So fast forward to yesterday.
The State of North Carolina has a brand new award that they can provide to
first responders. Okay, all right, and yesterday was the very first ceremony.
In fact, is I scroll all the way down in the wil article
too. I'm counting paragraphs here. I was gonna do this before and then
I forgot, so just bear with me. Okay, all the paragraphs.
Some things still going on, all right, So basically Robinson's there giving you
or And it was said as they were getting started by uh, I don't
know if I honestly, I don't know who said it, because I was
gonna say Lonigan is his campaign guy, and this was an official action by
the Lieutenant governor. So but whatever it was, it was said, hey,
uh, when we're done with this, if you have any questions about
the award, or even you know, perhaps the individual who is out there
saving lives and doing such an effective job of it, we're going to bestow
this honor upon them. Well, we're gonna do those because this is an
awards ceremony for this, for this individual, and of course they get done
and here we go. They start firing questions out, who do you want
to who's on your who's on your death list? And Robinson wasn't having any
of it, not havn't any of it at all. In fact, he
he did not hold back Kim some questions. Again, he is the Republican
candidate for governor. It was after an event, and this is how it
went. That's what you got out of this. There's your answer. Shame,
that's what it is, pure shape. Yeah, shame, you should
be He didn't do the shame shame with the bell, but yeah, and
then that became the story. Go to ral you should be ashamed, Robinson
tells reporters as he declines to answer questions. Well, technically, he declined
to answer questions outside of the scope of what he said. Now here's the
deal, because I am one of those people that is often critical of politicians
who you know, I don't know, like Joe Biden right where he has
staff that literally is trained to all yell and unison when something is over and
the rees and they're doing that is not because the media needs ten people saying
thank you to them, they're doing it so on the off chance, so
one Biden can't hear questions yelled at him because God forbid he answers them.
And if he does, try to answer him, now you still got the
yelling. So maybe they're not going to be able to roll tape on whatever
he says. So like, I understand the frustration, but I also understand
self inflicted wounds. And if you remember back to all the COVID insanity,
I had me a little prediction, just a reminder. The digital press,
you know, the digital press conferences access to the governor by the States media
was actually run through a program that was designed by a blue group, a
Democrat group, and it allowed the various reporters who want to get a question
in to be thrown into a variety of cues. And it just seemed that
what many would consider, we'll say, at the very I'll give credit that,
you know, perhaps their son that they would consider more often down the
middle. But that was maybe one or two. The rest were you know,
Roy Cooper fanboys man, and they got the quest every week, they
got the questions, and I can't tell you the number of folks that were
sitting there just wanted to ask a question, even some people that you wouldn't
even look at and go, oh, they work for a conservative outlet,
a couple of folks you're familiar with from the show ap dyllon right with North
State journal I don't know that they ever got a question ever through all of
that. And the thing that I said was, this is so obvious to
everyone what's going on. And if you are one of the outlets getting a
question, why is your question not? Why is it that half of my
colleagues haven't been allowed to ask a question? Standing up for journalism, standing
up for even if even if you don't personally like them, even if you
think that they have bias, because they think you do too. But at
the end of the day, that is somebody else who's standing there with their
morants, their notepad, whatever it is, coming in to do their job
virtually, of course, and it's clear what's happening here. And I didn't
hear and correct me if I'm wrong. Ross. Do you remember any reporter
asking the governor why other people aren't getting questions? No, And that would
have been the time to do it. And I said, if you don't
do that, it's gonna come back to bite you. Well, here it
is, whether you like it or not. And I'm gonna read this paragraph.
He hold on, nay, I gotta read the good one. Well,
dam it is the one I tweeted. Did they literally move that paragraph
from when I pulled it? Oh, that's delicious. It must be all
right. They may have moved it in there. Let's go back to the
to the old Twitter account. What what you're seeing right now is ri l
really wants to talk to Mark Robinson, Which isn't that hard? Ross right?
We just we call him then every couple of weeks right comes on the
show. I don't know what the big whoop is there he is, but
he's not taking him and he's not taking them in the same fashion, although
in this case now it's a national outrage, in the same fashion that Roy
Cooper sat there and said, I'm not going to do unfriendly media got a
chance, and it is absolutely sticking in their craw man, absolutely sticking in
their craw Here we go. Here's the paragraph. Wil later asked for an
interview with Robinson. A spokesman for the Lieutenant Governor's office didn't respond. Mike
Lonigrinn Lanergen sorry, I always said that extra r who is the campaign person?
Right, So they went to both gatekeepers, declined the request, said
you will not be getting an interview, and then in an email said in
the email said and probably not anytime soon either. Well there you go.
You think your cohorts, and by cohorts, I mean the folks that you
wouldn't stick up for so that there was quote natural order to this. You
think they give two flow that you can't get an interview. This is this
is exactly that, and they don't like it. And it's just I guess
the fact that it's not virtual. They'll try to claim that it's some sort
of well it's it's different, No, it's not. Reporters had good questions.
They had good questions that weren't being asked while the rest of us were
sitting here pulling our damn hair out watching those press conferences, and nobody's challenging
Cooper or Mandy Cohen, even when she literally because they had a wide shot
which they fixed. That does the fake mask thing? Remember the fake mask
thing with Mandy Cohen where she's not wearing one and they're little gaggle back there
and then right as she's off to the side, which, by the way,
is even more insulting because there are there are other people in the room,
maybe not reporters, but like staff and stuff. And so they see
the person who was supposed to be setting the standard do the theater with the
mass right, she puts it on literally in one motion, almost doesn't get
her hand away from it, steps onto the podium and removes their damn thing,
and you could see it all because they had the white shot. People
might have questions about that, and those are legitimate questions. The very guidance
that you're not just telling people they have to follow, but you're telling them
they have to follow under rule of law. At the end of a gun.
You yourself don't even practice when you're at an event to promote it.
Look at that. I'm not even a beat reporter, and I think that
question. I promised that question was on the minds of reporters. None they
got to ask questions, but the ones who were out there this is this
is this. I told you, this is a de evolution of this.
When I started doing talk radio, I used to the show I worked on
we had We had Keith Ellison and Michelle Bachman. Basically whenever we wanted them,
and they could. Those those members of Congress could not have been further
from each other, but they still did it. And you know, and
and what it brought about too was not pure attacks. It brought about some
good questions, of good conversations. Those days are gone. I was blown
away when I came to North Carolina and tried to book a few Democrats,
even tried to book a certain Republican senator until he needed some and saw how
that went. But like it's it is a wild de evolution of the norms.
And uh, you just don't like it when it's your turn getting your
medicine. And I have zero sympathy for you. But had you argue and
asked that question, I would say that Mark Robinson should talk to you.
But now, like I tell other politicians, why would you, it's gonna
be a hatchet job, So good on them. Six fifty two. Hang
on, all right, I promised rapid fire. We will continue a reminder,
though we'll get into some NERD conversations with our NERD correspondent Stephen Stephen Kemp.
He'll join us at eight o five. Ummmm, I can't wait to
talk about this Nicholas Cage story. It's funny. So you guys, you,
you Ross, You and the wife arrived at the same conclusion. Huhn't
you have the story about dead Nicholas Cage versus live Nicholas Cage, because uh
yeah, but it is. It is a rather interesting question because you're not
you're not necessarily gonna be dealing with the star. They may have something in
their will, but you know, for the most part, dealing with the
families. And if you're a family of somebody who's very famous and you've got
name, image, likeness, we've seen some massive exploitation over the years.
Right, they're just going to run the memory of their decease, and they're
doing it because they want to keep his memory alive and them in the latest
m series every year. But that'll be an interesting conversation, all right,
back to back to a few things that might be slightly more important, maybe
not, and in on where where your head's at on this. So the
George Clooney insanity Clooney held look and this is kind of like Mike Johnson or
Mike Johnson the former speaker, excuse me, said Mike Johnson, not the
current speaker. The former speaker who said that like Jill Biden or Jill Biden
was in policy meetings, and it's like, you know what, I'm glad
they threw you out on your butt for not telling anybody. That's insane.
But I digress. So with George Clooney, he just held a presser,
all right, excuse me, a fundraiser three weeks ago with Joe Biden,
and he has some thoughts, but he only has the thoughts yesterday. And
that's what's kind of irritating. It's like because in his statement saying, you
know, I love me some Joe, but no, he literally cites the
fundraiser and said, you know, the Joe that I remember versus the Joe
that I saw three weeks ago, or the Joe I saw at the debate
That ain't the Joe I know. Well, then why didn't you say something
three weeks ago? Dude? Why didn't you like as the fundraiser because I'm
sure he talked to him right at the begin Well we know he did,
because it's in the statement. And why didn't you evaluate the situation? Go,
we have made a grave mistake, but you didn't you let it play
out? You were willing to let it play out. So and I don't
particularly mind George. I understand that he's political, but he doesn't make me
hate him with his poll when when he is political? Does that sound Does
that sound like a weird standard? H Although the one time I did enjoy
watching Clooney kind of eat Crow was in that that super that Trump super cut
video, right, and it's that section where they're like, he'll never be
president. Right, you got the and Coulter cut, you got Barack Obama
with the mic drop. If you remember, Clooney was one of them who
was who was in there and I can't remember where he was speaking, maybe
an award show or White House correspondence, but the point was, yeah,
that was that was a little hah. Clooney wants to go out and do
his stuff, fine, but if he didn't say anything three weeks ago and
you just said, it's the same as the the debate, you're not the
hero here. That being said, they could not abide that over at the
Biden campaign, and to hear their response, I think it will be more
fun if we play the audio of the CNN panel with host Jake Tapper and
about three other nitwits sitting around, all of which look like they would rather
be reporting live from Gaza with no press indication or body armor for that matter,
or even a dumb helmet. They want to be anywhere but in that
room. But this is your bed. You made it. And Tapper's response
is kind of funny. Check this out. And in response to those comments
from George Clooney, Dick, a campaign official who attended that law Sandela's fundraiser,
tells me that George Clooney left three hours before the president. So clearly
the gloves are off Jake. But what does that mean that George Clooney left
for What's what's the point. The point of that is to suggest that Biden's
stamina is better than Clooney's and Clooney didn't have, you know, eyes on
the entire event. That's the response to the Clooney out ed. Okay,
keayle Coshley, thanks so much, appreciate. So Tapper is literally laughing,
and you know the big difference, by the way, if I could just
Biden, I don't think George Clooney left to go take a nap. I
think he probably I don't know who's he's married to. That human rights lawyer
so I don't want to be a super pig about it, but I envision
if you're a Hollywood star like George Clooney, even at the age that he's
at, which is almost nothing in Hollywood and definitely nothing when you're standing next
to Biden. Right, he could have just as easily left to go to
NOBU and up with supermodels, right, But a nap was not the thing
he left for. You know, like you didn't go to the first NATO
meeting evening meeting because you had to go to bed different, different stuff.
Now to the panel of Doom, not because they're going to bring the doom,
but because they look like the doom has been brought to them. But
these are the same Nitwitz who had been the ultimate chure leaders throughout this whole
thing. Here we go, Karen Finny, Yeah, okay, I will.
I know it's your favorite topic. I look, it just seems like
every day is going to be like this, with people saying he should drop
out, people that are Democratic Party stalwarts. Storge Clane gets nothing out of
this. This is I mean, what is he what does he gained?
The only reason to do this is because he feels like he needs to convey
this, Yes, how does this end? So let's stipulate to the facts
that this is not good. This is bad. Let's just say the obvious,
right, thank you. That is some that's some good analysis right there.
We just this is this is bad. I don't know what do you
enjoy more? Watching do you enjoy watching the come up is amongst the panelists?
Or or like what was it Governor Pritzker with the open mic yesterday?
Or watching which Hollywood moon bats will double down now mad at these folks because
that seeing who's still in the fight when when like Reiner's out, Blooney's out,
who some some pretty big stalwarts are out. Michael Douglas is out now,
Michael oh, Michael Oh, hold on, Michael Douglas is canceled by
you. And he's a spry seventy nine years old. So hey, I
just watched him on the Apple TV laying waste to the French prostitution scene,
the Ben Franklin thing. I think it's pretty good. He was pretty good.
So anyway, yeah, so Ben Franklin's out. Is that what you're
saying, oh man, to lose our greatest president ever. That's a joke.
By the way, don't call the show an attempt to correct. All
right, Michael Douglas is out. Yeah, So are you more interested when
you see Douglas or Clooney do that or are you more interested to see the
people they work with than scream at them? Because that's fascinating. Who is
it you said Favreau was all but heard over this? Yeah? Yeah,
as Recline came out with the report that you know, he's been talking to
a lot of Dems. They don't want to go in the record, but
like you know, high profile dams in the Senate in the House that are
like, hey, you know, we don't want to We are against Biden.
We think you should drop out, but we don't want to real in
our career, so we're gonna let him stay in. We think he's gonna
lose, and we're fine with Trump winning because we don't actually think he's an
existential crisis or threat to democracy. We just sort of say that because it's
the political thing to say. And that's what you realize is there's so many
people now that are just completely dumbfounded by what happened because they truly believe,
just like they did with COVID, that everything they hear from CNN and MSNBC
in the news, and the mainstream media is one hundred percent of the truth
and accurate. And that's why they're so confused right now because you have people
that are like, well, you told me just two weeks ago that Joe
Biden was sharp as attack and these were all you know, the GOP right
wing deep fakes or a cheap fakes, cheap fakes. Yeah, and you've
also told this simultaneously that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy. You've
been hearing this since, you know, since Biden was inaugurated right January?
Well, which one? Is it all long before that? Yeah, they
believe it because they're told it completely. They completely believe it. So they
don't know what to do right now. They're at a loss. Well,
I'm glad that. I'm glad that of them aren't. So I could it
because I have an idea for a segment. You're ready for this, So
the segment would just be and what's one of the Fox shows has a stunt
boy? Remember Waters used to be Bill O'Reilly's. Does it do any of
them have a stunt boy? Well, you could do it with Guttfeld's crew,
right, where. They just need to track down the celebrities who were
the most fervent anti trumpers, like like what happened to Deborah Messing from Will
and Grace? Does anybody know where's she at? Kathy Griffin? She what
are her thoughts? Tom? Remember Tom Arnold? Remember they gave him a
show to find the pe tape. He did not find it, but the
Trump tapes? Was that literally the name of the show? Where is Tom
Arnold on the record? They could just go and find one of these unhinged
individuals. Tom Arnold might punch you. He's done it before. Get him,
go after him, Go after the Hulk, dude Ruffalo not well.
By the way, I better clarify, I don't want the uh the Democratic
Party sending a presser. I want to say, go after I meet with
a microphone and a camera to ask them a question. Where's their head at?
Now? That might be interesting because there's some celebrities who from the moment
Trump was elected, they were Where's where? Where's Madonna? Where's Ashley Judd?
Because Ashley Judd waved in on this, the whole crew from the White
House lawn when Madonna's like I've often thought of burning down the White House,
although maybe not that one because I don't I don't know if I'd force anyone
to go be around Madonna right now. Why everything she does is so weird,
man, it's just nuts. Mean that they're so entrenched and they are
so angry because they, like I said, they believe everything they've been told
Trump is this huge threat to democracy. Has Pearlman come around? Do we
know where Ron? Because he's a he's a Galaxy Con. I got some
pitches for that. I think I saw him on the list there. Yeah,
he's one of the he's one of the main folks there. So if
any of you go to Galaxy Con and see Ron Pearlman, ask him,
you might get thrown out. So do all your other stuff first, but
ask him. Yeah, they're trying to say that, like Clooney is a
spokesperson sort of for all these people. Right If you saw that yesterday where
they were saying, well, there's no way that Clooney would come out with
this op ad without first consulting not only Barack Obama but all of his Hollywood
friends. May you know what, there's probably a little bit of truth to
that because it wasn't Clooney involved with some of the organizing stuff. Yeah,
the sag after stuff. Uh so, may I don't know. Maybe,
I'm sure he talked to some I don't know who his best he's are.
I know he's I know him and Pitt are really tight, right, But
I don't, you know, I don't know who he hangs out with.
So so maybe there's a little truth to it. I don't know, all
right, seven nineteen CaCO Day Radio program. But yeah, Jake Tapper's laughing
at that exp well, look at this. Look at this New York Post.
Oh oh article, It just posted a tweeted an x uh Obama knew
in advance of George Clooney's bombshell call for Biden to drop out, but did
not object. Oh yeah, like that. I remember Barack Obama right after
Remember Barack Obama right after the debate, put out that that we all have
bad debates with no context. A lot of people don't remember why, Well,
they remember, like I guess maybe the idea that Barack Obama, you
know, had a learning curve. But a lot of people don't realize that
after that first debate, like it, he got cooked, man. And
the reason he got cooked is he wouldn't shut up. He had so much
he wanted to say, and it was it was coherent in from an understanding.
It wasn't a coherent from a policy standpoint, but it was coherent from
an understanding standpoint. So it is literally the polar opposite, which made me
laugh. And now he's already like yeah, maybe not yeah. I think
after that, for after the Biden debate, I think a lot of people
just assumed it was going to be over in like a week, you know,
a few days. It was just as stumble not realizing it was this
massive historical event. Well, Bill, I speaking of Bill O'Reilly, he
tweeted these like to buy my sources say tomorrow he's out, So i'd you
know, but I I and honestly maybe that was the case. But I
think that the money I do that two hundred and fifty million dollars that's driving
this train one hundred percent or we'll get ninety eight percent. All right,
I'll leave a little room there, but it definitely is playing into it,
all right. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Speaking
of tweets, did you see what the mayor of Kansas City tweeted yesterday and
then deleted ross did you see this? Mayor Quintin Lucas, the mayor of
Kansas City, tweeted, It's not every day you get to sit in a
stealth bomber, talk to the President of the United States and change a diaper.
I never stopped counting my blessings, and it all starts and ends right
here in Kansas City. I did see that. Yeah, obviously he's talking
about some would say it looks like that. Yeah, by the way,
that way, wouldn't that be a big honor you to change the the president's
diaper? It not now right because now everyone's thrown into the wolves. But
I think some of these cats are so died in the wold they probably what
have it one? Yeah, no, I mean you're proud of that if
the polling is going well, yeah, yeah, you're like absolutely, sir.
Do you prefer front to back or back to front anyway? Sorry,
that is gross, but you know sometimes when Mayor's tweet unfortunately we get drug
down that road and we have no control over it. Do you have to
take a break though, have control over that and we got lots more to
get to it is the CaCO Day radio program Hang On, I feel bad
for the Chinese smugglers. Do you remember, because one, they're mostly having
to smuggle live animals. That's that's a big, big, big, big
thing, big problem over there in China. And I'm sure it's totally so
their pets. Do you think ross or smuggling for pets, all these weird
ass animals into China or maybe something else. And I and by the way,
I'm the one who's also told you of when we were talking about how
Chinese people were buying panglin and then you look at it and you're like,
oh my gosh. You know, keep in mind that you might be a
little freer with what you eat if forty million of your buddies were starved to
death and you essentially lived on the North Korea diet, just trying to survive
in between struggle sessions, Like I understand why there is an expanse of nature.
Obviously it doesn't fit in modern day in many instances. But that being
said, uh, we had a story if when was this because they actually
cited here in the story. This is from CBS News. Yeah, so
I end of last year, a woman was attempting to smuggle five snakes into
China, and she put them in her bra and the customs guy was like,
nah, there's there's too much up there, pulled her out of line,
and sure enough there was the snakes. Right. It's yeah, you
get a little stereotypical stuff there, but kind of sucks. Right. You're
if you're a Chinese woman, if you're a woman in China and you want
to smuggle, you want to smuggle something there. This guy's this guy's out
stereotype in you. I mean, yeah, you got busted, but why
is he doing that? Well, not to be outdone. The the most
recent event, you're ready for this, a Chinese man was arrested. Let's
see, CBS doesn't say what the other day, same place, shenzend Okay,
so he's attempting to it is from Hong Kong into China. Yeah,
it's for a lot of the smuggling takes place. You can basically get it
whatever one into Hong Kong apparently. And he says he's in the nothing to
declare line, and all of a sudden they see his pants moving and they're
like, hey, hey, hey, why don't you once you get over
here, dude, And to his credit, he went big, go big
or go home. According to authorities police, when they made him drop his
trousers, why do they continue to use the word trousers in like standard like
ap so weird? It's called pants anyway, So when he dropped his pants
fixed it for you, CBS. They noticed they had six canvas bags sealed
with tape strapped around his midsection and thighs and legs. Inside they found one
hundred snakes. And if you're thinking they were just little ones, you were
wrong. Well, well a bunch of them worse milk snakes and corn steaks,
which I'm not super familiar with the size of those that they only counted
for about half of them. The other half were all shapes and sizes,
including poisonous snakes. That's the guy who's really committed to his job of all
shapes and sizes. So anyway, he's in. He's in big doo doo,
So don't do that. But you know, at least he's like,
hey, if I'm going to go down and and there's a ten percent chance
I make and I'm gonna be rich, so there you go. I have
a question, how many how many years do you think it is before you
just tap out on all the Hollywood remakes. I saw something very depressing today,
right for the show. Let's see here, that's right, right,
Hollywood has announced their newest remake, A Fistful of Dollars. Now, I
understand some of you want to really nerd out into the Man with No Name
series and you want to talk about how conceptually within that storyline there. You
know, this was stolen from a Japanese director, but that's not the same
as a remake in the same you know, language and release country. So
I understand that that's the thing, But in this case it is just as
I understand. It was filmed in Italy, the Spaghetti Westerns, the you
know leone series, and they're amazing, but those were US releases. This
is going to be another US release, and I can only assume if it
does well because Fistful of Dollars is the first of the three. So for
a few dollars more and the good, the Bad, and the ugly.
If you don't think Hollywood's going to do it, please they have not.
By the way, they did not list any actors who might be associated with
it, just that they're going to do this, So I will hold judgment.
But if it's not Clint Eastwood from Time Travel. I don't want to
see it. Can you what happens when they get to Unforgiven? I think
I'm out at that, But you do Unforgiven, I'm out. I don't
think you can redo that movie. Oh and if you Modern audience Unforgiven,
my brain hurts so much if you if you go in there. Because let's
face it, you know, Eastwood is about to release his very last movie
directing. That sounds worded, so I don't know. Maybe he acts in
something, but and he you know, he's into his nineties and he's got
a movie coming out here, uh pretty quick actually, and he got a
bunch of big names in it, and that's great. I'll you know,
well, we'll see what's it called, Juror number two. I hope it's
good. Man, he's had it, especially when he got older years with
the with the Drive. I just I just watched Grand Charino again. I
think I mentioned that on there. That movie's great every time I watch it.
What a great movie. So hopefully it knocks out of the park.
Because I didn't really like the The Smuggler one. I can't remember what the
name of it was, but but yeah, don't don't screw with Unforgive,
and don't screw with Ross. What's your favorite? Was it Pale Writer or
oh dude, Pale Riders? So good? Yeah, don't don't screw with
those when he just gets off and he starts beating those guys down with that
stick. Yes, so great. As you do as you do? Do
you want to see Unforgiven with updated? Maybe we can get the uh the
the what's your bucket is doing the new Star Wars movie? I mean the
problem with Unforgiven would be because you know, it's a lot about you know,
big Whiskey and gun control and what. So he would just roll up
to Big Whiskey and just give his guns away freely, Like here you go,
not freely, you get a you get a gift card to Perkins or
something. So yeah, yeah, you show up and uh yeah, you
know there's Hackney. He's say yeah, yeah, no, yeah, we
got you one hundred dollars gift No, I guess it would be for the
two dollars gift cards, right, because you know it's back then some good
pies for that man. You you can you know where I grew up,
we didn't have the waffle house, so Perkins was the place to go watch
drunk people fight staff. They had those all over Wyoming. Man loved me
some. Perkins was very sad when the one closed across from the station,
like five minut it's after I moved here. Very sad anyway, all right,
seven forty three Race Stagic. Are you a waffle House or Perkins?
Guy, it's tough. You live in Atlanta, so I feel, yeah,
you're shoehorn in, but I kind of I don't even Yeah, I
think there's a couple Perkins got more, more choice. I guess that's what
it comes down to. But I guess when you're hammered, do you need
choice? Just fill you up with Greece, right, yeah? Or hungover?
But either or that they do the job. But actually like Denny's too.
Denny's is I remember two am in the morning triple cheeseburger with me.
Yeah, that kind of stuff I don't forget. But yeah, the Denny's
near the State Well it's over on Wake Forest. I that place is an
absolute mad house at two in the morning. But if you really want insanity,
uh, have you ever been to an I hoop in the middle of
the night? They have like they have like security, like it's for the
oscars, Like I don't know what happens in there, but I saw that
secure, and I'm like, you know, I don't think I'm gonna eat
here. I'm too old for that now. Yeah. Yeah, back in
my younger years, you'd risk that, but not now now I have a
family and you know, come on, yeah right, well, back back
in the younger years, we didn't have anything like that in Upstate where I
grew up. I don't know, Well, you were closer all, but
hey, weren't you, uh ross? I mean, so for me,
it was the local diner. It was double order of fries with gravy and
cheese. Did you ever do that gravy on the top and then it's almost
food? Oh gosh, that was a fantastic. Yeah. We'd go in
and you know, the waitress would just know us and be like, oh
boy, here we go, two am crew. You're right water now that
I think about it, you're right. Like growing up there, up in
New York, up state, there's more like likes, just like individual diners.
Yes, yeah, it's individual diners. You know what. You can't
listen to those people. They just figured out that you can use a trash
bin. So yeah, well, let me uh, I don't want to
ruin too many people's Friday to Friday stay if you are heading to the beaches,
but we're going to well yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
If you're coming through town now and going east and maybe heading out to the
beach, Yeah, some thunderstorms on a line right now from Martin County and
just north of that down through and into Lenora Counties, not really moving much
yet, and then some spotty showers as you get closer into the outer banks.
You go west to that, and we've actually seen a little bit of
a break in the do points, lower due points and humidity so a little
cooler, especially from the triad west. Still pretty warm in around the triangle,
but we've got a dis serbance of the southeast coast at the Hurricane Center
does have a ten percent chance of seeing that development. It's probably not going
to but still the moisture is going to continue to come north and increasing shower
thunderstorm chances. I'm just gonna say from in and around I ninety five in
east as we head on through tonight tomorrow. Is specially even though we've got
this line of storms out there now. I think the better chances tomorrow and
Tomorrow night and Saturday, where some of them are going to see multiple inches
of rain. East of eye ninety five, I think the triangle get some
showers and thunderstorms. Some may sneak in today, some may sneak in early
tonight, but the better chance will be tomorrow into Tomorrow night and at least
the first part of Saturday. Easily. The second part of the weekend is
going to be better. But here comes to heat and humidity, we'll get
titty to build back in and by Sunday and early next week triangle back in
the mid upper nineties. Try It probably going to see some low nineties.
So we should stay in good shape today from about ninety five west, and
then as we go through tonight and tomorrow, the rain chance is increasing for
the triangle, less of a chance Try It and west and then showers thunderstorms
tomorrow. With that disturbance working north into Tomorrow night and Saturday, we'll have
more in an hour and a little bit more on it tomorrow. Certainly when
we start seeing that low get a little closer real quick. Who is your
fay or what is your favorite Eastwood Western movie. Eastwood Western movie. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, see I heard you're talking about Eastwood. The other
one you were talking about is The Mule, And yeah yeah, I didn't
hate it. I just say, right, take the ones. I don't.
I've never really seen any of the older ones, so I couldn't.
I couldn't give you a good answer there. Sorry, you gotta prep me
for this stuff. At least I could lie make a button bar ross.
I need button bar please, I need the button. Thank you? Sorry,
you know what that is. No, that's the end of you.
Okay, you've been canceled. All right, get out of here, all
right, goodbye? What what is is he Jeff Bellinger today? What is
happening? I didn't sleep a bunch last night, am I if I think
he's more of a space guy? You know, he's a space guy.
Oh so Cowboys and Aliens is the one the only Western he'll watch. I'm
gay, man, I'm trying to get the benefit of the doubt here.
Oh so many problems with that answer. All right, Well, now I've
got to go. We got some decisions to make. We'll make up during
the break. Oh look at this, Everyone's like, what about true grid.
That's what we call an exception to a rule. And arguably I'll still
take the first. And I think they're different movies, isn't I'm decribing.
Maybe it's because the Little Girl is one hundred percent a little less in the
first movie. The little Girl can't you can't compete with John Wayne, so
you're blown off the screen in the second movie. Yeah, it's the big
difference there. Yeah. But also if you think that this is an easy
thing, I would point you to Magnificent seven. Okay, yeah, yeah,
give me, you know, give me the old one. It's not
even close. So lots to think about. We'll be back. Get to
chat with our entertainment slash NERD correspondence slash guy, who I occasionally give grief
to on Twitter. But that's okay, it's all in good fun. How
you doing, Steven Kent? I'm doing all right, store recovering from the
last time you believe me. I did not bully you. In fact,
I think last time on Twitter bullying, No, I was telling you about
my insane Minnesota neighbors. Malamute. Isn't that technically accurate? Okay, all
right, yeah, technically that's a whole you know, what it was an
interesting thing rerout just so you guys should follow Stephen on Twitter. Basically,
the premise of the engagement question was do you use a voice for your pet?
And if so, what am I asking it? Correctly? Was it?
Oh? Yes? And then what is what's the voice? Reality?
Yes? Yeah? Would you would you like would you like to share?
Do you have a story? Because my dog a German Shepherd mix, we
gave basically the voice of a you know, like a squeaky teddy bear,
but is a right wing extremist. He was a participant. In January sixth
he he took part in the stealing of Nancy Pelosi's desk, and he has
dedicated his life to fighting Antifa. He's a he's a problematic dog, but
doggie doors are always open. So like, I mean, you know,
what are you gonna do? No? I was so I had this.
I had this lunatic up in Minnesota, had a malamute, which I think
they're beautiful dogs, hear me out my but my buddy's brother had one too,
and it also had a bit of an attitude. But this one was
it was pure the owner's problem. Like it was the owner made this dog
like it, and I'm like, that dog's gonna murder somebody, and uh,
and it would. But it was like it would like bait people in
because it had it had a ball and then it had this like one of
those giant oversized bones and it would like come up to the fence with it,
and so you're looking at it like, oh, it wants me to
throw it. But if you got within a certain amount of feet, it
was clear it was bait so it could eat you. And so when I
tell people about it, I would use the saw voice about playing a game.
So do you want to play a game? Yeah? Right, because
you know how that's gonna end. And you'll be shocked to learn that dog
ended up biting the dude who was literally there to install a shot on the
guy's property. And I want to say he didn't lose the dog somehow,
I'm unclear how it panned out, but yeah, that was that's all on
the owner there. But the point is I didn't tease you last time,
long long way to say it, and we got stuff to get to.
So let me let me pop over and let me bring you in where we
just were. Once again. Another Hollywood remake being announced this time. They're
going for The Man with No Name series, all right, So we'll kick
it off with fist full of dollars and I'm sure if they make money,
the rest will follow. And I am horrified. One that, you know,
with the Western genre, which I'm a fan of, we're gonna go
down this road. And Two if they ever get to unforgiven, I don't
I don't know, man, I might have to, I might have to
turn into like some like militant anarchist dudents. So I don't know, man,
I just I can't bathom them screwing with some of these movies, even
though you know, the argument is that the whole thing it was fetched off
of the Kirasawa narrative, which is true. But this is releasing in the
same country, in the same language, so I see it as a true
a cheap remake versus an overseas remake. So you got any thoughts on are
you a Western guy at all? So I'm not a Western guy. You
know. The closest that I've ever gotten to, you know, watching something
like The Man with No Name, you know, borrowing from those Kirasawa sort
of samurai type themes, is the Man Galorean from Star Wars. I don't
really see a huge issue as well. I want into that. Yeah,
the malibut, you're the malamute in the story. Go ahead, I'm gonna
buye, you know, a fifth full of dollars. The man with no
name like this is I think something that people will enjoy. And I don't
think most viewers and you know, lovers of entertainment who are under the age
of forty, have ever heard of a man with no name. I think
it's worth making. It's probably, it's probably time and I'm gonna and here's
what I'm gonna agree with you on. There used to be. I don't
want to say a hard and fast structure that I I'm You've had this debate
one hundred times, but I'll just reiterate it. Where you you you know,
you had to go in and then there was challenges and you had to
overcome the challenges and eventually you would find yourself the hero. But you didn't
start the hero. The difference is from the moment Eastwood walks in. He's
the man, right, and he's manipulating everybody. He's doing his things.
So it's not hard and fast if you can pull it off, and so
I guess I can appreciate that. The question is, why can't Hollywood at
that formula right nowadays? I don't know. I think they because they they
always view the source material as something that needs changing. I think most of
the approaches that we the remakes are always, you know, the past is
problematic or you know, the people or the directors or the storylines you know,
or somehow unsophisticated or uncouth, and therefore we need to tamper with them
and change them. I think that that's usually where things go off the rails
immediately, is viewing the past as a problem that needs to be corrected for.
But who is who's making this this remake? What can you tell me
about the you know where it's gonna? Yeah, hang out, I'm sorry,
I may have closed it. I'm stupid. Yeah, I'm trying to
close a different window. Hang on, I'll find it here. Yeah,
it's the it's the uh that entertainment studio guys. Look there, I mean,
they are names that have put out some really good movies, and you
know, I I hope that they hold to it. Here we go specifically
euro Gang Entertainment. So I've got new Nari from three hundred. I hate
it when it loads that off. Yeah, so Ripley, the guys who
did Ripley. So you know, all right, we'll see, We'll see
how it goes. I think you want to have like kids, you know,
get into get into westerns, and there just aren't a lot being made.
I think Yellowstone is like people's only exposure to Western anything in modern pop
culture. And then when you go down that rabbit hole, you sort of
end up in the Paramount Taylor shared in cinematic universe and so come on man,
West World until they screwed it completely up. I had that narrative,
but they But does it have to be movies? Arguably one of the biggest
video games out there is a Western team video game where Ross kill horses all
day. All he does is kill horses. It's crazy. So and your
referencing, of course Red Dead Redemption one of the greatest games of all time.
Yeah, for sure, But I'm mostly just focused on Gladiator too.
I assume you'll have talked about that. You talked about yes, mister Gladiator's
comments, and I don't know it is it is a little weird, but
I'm I'm annoyed with the hip hop and the trailer me too. It's so
cringey, you know, but it works awful? Did you did you enjoy
Hateful Eight? Uh? No? Okay, all right, well never mind.
There's you know, he incorporates that also in Django Unchained, which you
know there's another US know though it's not as recent. But I actually I'm
trying to transition you to this story, so let me go ahead and get
there. So, uh, you know, there is going there's gonna be
we the the technology exists now that if you wanted to make a movie using
a Hollywood actor, likely you could, especially as much as they could clean
it up. Would you agree with that? Yeah, you're pretty close to
being able to do it. And I was reading this thing with I don't
know if he's the best person to be discussing this necessarily, but Nicholas Cage,
who's talking about how he doesn't trust Hollywood with AI, like what are
they going to do with him? And I think, do you think dead
AI Nicholas Cage would make more or less movies than live Nicholas Cage Like that,
Dude's would thing. It would be hard to keep pace with the real
living and very much alive Nicholas Cage. But the reality is this is something
that they could do. And what horrifies me or a couple things, one
going back to the man with no name, what if it's woman with no
name? They haven't announced actors. But more important, let's let's talk about
those movies you mentioned, and I'll give you an example Outlaw Jo C.
Wales, which I was talking about before you came on. The hero Eastwood
is a former Confederate soldier and he's terrorized by Union soldiers. That wouldn't fly
in today's Hollywood. So arguably could they could remake that movie, flip and
flip that all the way around and claim that they're just updating it for you
know, a special release. I mean, even those Death by a thousand
little cuts is concerning, plus the exploitation that we see some family members willing
to do to keep alive the memory of their loved one and keep their bank
accounts filled. So where are you at? Well? I was just sort
of seizing on that comment you made about how the kind of the hero was
a traumatized Civil War Confederate soldier, you know, with a grudge against the
Union, and that reminds me of how on Wheels. I'm AMC one of
my favorite shows, and I guess, you know, evidence that Westerns do
exist. That came out in twenty eleven into twenty sixteen, and at the
same premise a Confederate soldier whose family was murdered by some brutal Union soldiers and
he's out for revenge and he is the complicated hero. But that was before
the George Floyd reckoning. Would it be made today? I don't know.
It's hard to say, but I sort of have faith that there's enough space
on television and streaming these days for everything. But you are right, I
would count on them doing some sort of race bending recast or gender recast when
it comes to any of these shows, just to make a point well,
but also just to save a pile of money. I mean, you know,
think about the amount. Think about Disney what they've took it in the
pants for with some of the some of their efforts this year, and other
entities that have done big remakes that didn't go anywhere, but they had to
advest, you know, two hundred million dollars and plus marketing everything in there.
If you could do something, whether it is a special release or an
actual remake and incorporate even dead actors now into it who maybe people of the
day thought should have played it or was the second casting choice. Like,
all of these things exist and arguably would cost less, and I you know,
Hollywood likes things that cost less that might make more money, don't they.
They certainly do. And that's why Nicholas Cage is not crazy when he
says that he fears that they're going to take his his body, his eyes,
his voice. I mean there's there's already times of precedent for this,
uh, you know, with with dead actors reappearing in movies as long as
their estates, you know, their family and descendants before screen light it.
Yeah, so that they can make make money off of it. Kerrie Fisher,
that was such an awkward scene. But you didn't think that scene was
awkward? Oh okay, good, I just yeah, you're brutal. Yeah.
Now, the going was Peter Peter Cushing's revival and in Rogue one,
you know, bringing Peter Cushing Admiral Tarkin back for the Rogue one movie.
I mean that guy hasn't been seen in decades after he passed, and they
recast him and had somebody perform him, and then they animated that person's face
to look like Cushing, and I think that that was not as good as
it's going to get. Well, and you know, think of all the
other opportunities. You know, one day and I don't wish it. Soon,
you know, Harrison Ford will be gone, they'll all be gone,
and then maybe they can take another stab at not destroying the entire franchise with
the last three movies. So yeah, you know, I just the whole
Yeah, I think you're right. I mean, I think Harrison Ford is
somebody who well he's actually said he's talked a lot about death in the past
before and said like he is not afraid to move on and be done with
life and be left behind. And in the memory of Hollywood, I am
imagine he's going to have some kind of clause in his will that's like,
you cannot do this to me, You cannot recreate my likeness on television and
movies. I wouldn't be surprised by that at all. But yeah, it's
so weird that this is something they're going to have to think about too.
Oh it is. We're not going to let go of the stars of the
past. I mean, what does it say about us if we don't just
let movie stars die move on, and then we bring up new people to
be the new stars and faces of Hollywood and action and romance movies and all
that stuff. You're not making room for future actors when you don't let the
old ones go. That could be very destructive, I think to entertainment culture
and like records of human history, if we just never let these people go,
because these movies, these TV shows, these are records of our existence.
And I don't like the idea that will never recast somebody eventually in Sanna
Jones should be played by somebody else. I just will say, I don't
want to be alive to see it. Well, and it can be done.
I mean, a Bond proved that, right, you can, you
can. You're not always going to it's not always going to be a winner,
right, and it'll spark a debate, but you have, you know,
you have the different eras of it. All right. We we could
literally talk about this the whole thing, but I got to ask you.
We got less than two minutes that Acolyte episode. Huh yeah, it's kind
of kind of a drag, kind of boring, not not the most exciting
episode. But basically, what you're getting here is a a who done it?
Story? He said, she said, type story with Star Wars.
It's a mystery and they're kind of drawing out. Yeah, that was I
always said that. So I've proven right, you're part of the problem for
what using my work, No asserting, but that Jedi could be a moral
wrong, not perfect? How dare you? You know? The world?
The world is messy and the Jedi just live in it. Okay, all
right, you know, except their side of the forest is the good side
builders that because if they're not, they're not the Jedi, they're the other
thing, right, something like that. Yeah, I was excited. I
was excited to see them bring out in the new episode of The Acolyte,
the idea of a virgence in the forest. This will be way too deep
for most everybody here listening, but the idea of a virgence from the forest
is like Anakin Skywalker himself in Star Wars Episode one, he was created by
the Force in sort of an immaculate conception, and they brought that idea back
in The Acolyte to suggest that something is going on with this witch coven,
that they are living in a virgins in the forest. Yeah, it's interesting.
I think it is all eating those too dark plagas. You're just trying
to stifle my free side. Not going to do it in ten seconds,
I have no choice, Steve, and I appreciate that man. Thanks,
thank you Stephen Kent there. Make sure you follo him on Twitter and hang
on, we will be right back. I thought it started real and then
the fakery was added, but that is not the case. So Joe Biden
is you know, he's at a very small, manageable event. He's doing
his thing, and as after he has turned back the microphone to this woman,
she compliments diversity, right, because you're required to do that at a
Democratic press conference, because it's our strength. And Joe Biden, much to
the horror of his staff, clearly here's the word, the d word,
grabs the mic from her and starts in on whatever he's starting in on,
and that part you'd think, okay, well that's real, and then all
of a sudden, the camera it doesn't just like zoom out away from it,
like oh it's you know, we're wrapping up, thanks for watching.
On the official fee, somebody physically grabs the camera and you see it like
flip up in the air like you would grab a camera and just kind of,
I don't know, turn around and walk away with it. And then
all of a sudden, there's you know, the bars, the color bars
when a production's over, and a tone, and it looks like somebody shoehorn
that in, like a record scratch would be the best way to describe it.
The problem is none of those things are shoehorned in. Those are all
the things that happened. So they see him getting ready to go on god
knows what diatribe about diversity, which you want to talk about an absolute mind
field when you're still reeling from the I was the first black female president.
Even though you know what he meant, they just don't want that out there.
So they are there. They rip the camera away and go right to
the end. Tone. I'm gonna play the audio video do it justice.
Follow us at Casey on the radio on Twitter, but you don't even have
to follow. You still go see it at Casey on the radio. Rosso
do the retweet. Here it is and it does more monardies, more women,
more labor. I'm serious, think about it. That's who we are,
that's why we're strong. We're diverse, we're strong. I'm gonna stop
looking at Wait now your thing, Ross, You didn't think the tone was
real, right, Ross? Is like, the tone is what I mean,
it's all legit. And here's the thing. He didn't say anything that
crazy that I you know, he said the kind of standard. Look,
how diverse my cabinet is. The thing is you never know, no,
no, no, it's absolutely right. And that's it's it's a minefield of
plenty. So but yeah, it's just so, it's just so weird man.
And and in a way it they were the ones that made it more
awkward. As to your point though, who knows where he was going with
that. Maybe he challenged the cabinet to a golf tournament or so. I
don't know, but they were not having any of that. Speaking of awkward
but mildly impressive, the the Hamas protests, you know, like on the
universities, not just here, also over in places like the UK, and
I think that they may have found the you know, there's a pecking order
of oppression. I think they may have found the king is king queen.
It would be King and queen because they right, listen to the number of
boxes checked here and laugh along with the way they say commune comrade, because
I did. Police Forces hospital lies one of our comrades, male officers touched
a disabled Muslim transperson of color. With that, I have to hear it
again, and I know you do too if you didn't hear we played it
first thing on the show. Listen to the number of boxes tick Police forces
hospital lies. One of our comrades, male officers touched a disabled Muslim transperson
of color without consent and refuse to give them medical treatment. And that's four.
I mean four has got to be the goal, right? What was
left out of there? You've got skin color, you have gender identity,
you have religion. What am I missing? There was four of them trans,
Muslim, disabled, and you have a disability? Is there one that
I'm missing? On the on the the oppression totem poll I that is you
know, we joke about checking all the bus I would say maybe a little
person or an indigenous person. I well, but I think indigenous goes to
person of color because remember it's a pipe bippok right, yeah, okay,
black Indigenous persons of color? So yeah, and then you know from a
from a little person, I get Yeah, I guess maybe that's that I
don't want to I don't want to put that into the handicap thing. So
yeah, maybe or is I don't know. I mean, I'm literally I'm
not trying to be disrespectful. I just I don't know if that's in the
same But I mean, if you're looking for boxes to check, right,
genre, Yeah, but you don't want to look like you're just padding your
stats, right or do you? I guess maybe you do? Right?
Actually, what am I talking about? Of course you do? Oh you
know what. I figured out what it is. And I know what you're
gonna say. You're gonna say no case they did say one. But you
have to look at it through the filter of the diversity folk mental illness boom.
So there's room for improvement. Is somebody here in the US wants to
get you know, you want to jump If you want to jump on there
you go. Five. I guess it'd be the magic number they got to.
Four. Still pretty impressive, all right to this, I'll tell you
it's not impressed. Lots of fathers, well at least the ones who are
still in this you know, in the in these girls' lives, which you
know I'll let you guess the percentage. One of the cringiest things that is
happening now on the internet is hawk twoy two or people who what? Women
who watched that interview and watched the absolute propulsion into the stratosphere of notoriety by
the hot tooy girl who are now going up to and in some cases I'm
sure staging whoever's hosting it. The you know, the man on the street
is at the you know, the party zone interviewing the drunk co eds and
doing their own viral moment with the grossest and or sluttiest or whatever you want
to call it sexual act description that they can muster, hoping that they catch,
you know, catch viral fame with it. But most of them are
just some girl talking about doing something that would make her parents disowner and it's
just sad. Man. I'm not going to play into the audio. I
can't, but like, is this where we are? Is this where the
quest for fame has taking us? And is it that much of a deviation
considering you know, like the chicks they have on shows like the Flavor what
was the Flavor of Flave Love show? Flavor of Love? Right? I
mean you're not dealing with the girls from the country club there, you know
what I'm saying. So I don't know, maybe, but yeah, there's
a bunch of these going Also, what if you're dating one of these girls?
It's not just the part that she'd said that, it's like the because
they're making it up. Probably right, probably, but yeah, there's a
whole lot of cringe floating around out there. Man, oh what is this?
Oh you guys missed immigration say you know what? Thank you Boston Paul.
That is that is true? So there's six boxes there, Oh,
housed or unhoused. Dang it. Look, oh there's so many boxes to
go. I didn't even think of that. Well, that's that's why we
have the audience to help us make sure we got everything in there. So
any who are at eight forty four raced agent from the Weather Channel. Alrighty,
we had a talk, right, Yeah, you're sentenced to watch those
in fact, come up with a list. Yes, And if your wife
says anything like, hey, nothing I can do. Usually she doesn't like
my movies anyway, so oh we end up watching She'll be watching cooking shows
and Hallmark dramas, and I'll be watching stuff downstairs. So it doesn't matter.
Yea, what is that stuff downstairs? Well, I mean things that
she doesn't want to watch, like westerns and oh okay, want to clarify
because you know, war movies, like war movies too, Hamburger Hill,
all that stuff. All right, cool, trying to earn back your man,
card, I am, I am. Well, if you got songs
about rain, there's gonna be plenty of it there already has been two hours
of ninety five. There's been already some flood advisories issued, and even a
flash flood warning that just popped up. Actually eight forty five. This is
Craven County, Green County, Jones County, and Ludar County, Pitt County.
Heavy rainfall one to three inches and more coming down. Some spots have
seen two to four inches. It's kind of sitting right along the front that's
to our east, laying right across Eye ninety five. The storms to the
east of that. So if you are traveling toward the outer banks, you're
gonna run through this area heavy rainfall and even some flash flooding. And this
is gonna be a trend. Weather Service discussion out of Morehead City. They're
talking about an atmospheric river event here on the East coast, which is gonna
bring heavy rain, especially east of ninety five over the next couple of days.
Already happening this morning, there are flood watches in the northeastern corner of
the state. I'd imagine those are going to get extended now a triangle and
just west so Raleigh, Durham, back into let's say Pittsburgh, Carthage down
to the southwest. A better chance of seeing heavier rain and thunderstorms most likely
starting later tonight tomorrow than it does further west of that, but still you're
gonna have to be on the lookout for some heavier rainfall. The chance of
the triangle is later today as some of these storms may creep further west,
and then as we head on through tonight and tomorrow, everybody kind of in
that shower thunderstorm thing with locally heavy downpours with slow moving storms, still some
lingering showers and thunderstorms, and the Saturday, especially east of ninety five,
and then as we get to Sunday, still chance of showers and thunderstorms for
some, but again emphasize that we kind of will use I ninety five in
and around ie ninety five. The best chance in points east to that less
chance, more scattered. As you go further west and you go into the
mountains, there may be some that don't get much rain at all, so
kind of a sharp cutoff. So just stay tuned the forecast case. I
think flooding is going to be a real big, real big threat from this,
especially into the outer banks. All right. Final question to retrieve your
man card of these here is do you prefer it's raining men, blame it
on the rain, or set fire to the rain. I would say set
fire to the un I'm sorry the answer is November rain by guns and roses.
Get out of here, Eddie Rabbit from Love A Rainy Night from Gary
Allen. Gary all songs about rain because it mentions all the rains. Yeah,
you failed, card back target all We'll try again tomorrow, tomorrow,
all right. I would even accept uh no rain if you know, depending
on your era. All Right, we'll be back. Hang on. Yeah,
we got bad news for Delta, Casey, but it's good news for
you and me. The airline has cut summer fare prices. That's hurting profit.
Though at Delta. The problem for the airline is extra supply. Of
course, for you and me. Not only does that mean a drop in
fares, it could mean the seat next to you could be empty. That's
great news for consumers, but Delta shares their nose diving right now. The
Consumer Price Report is out. US inflation cooled broadly in June, and that
does pave the way for a possible FED rate cut soon. The so called
core consumer price index, that's the one when you take out food and energy
costs, that climbed just a tenth of a percent from May, and that
is the smallest advanced since August of twenty twenty one. A year on year
at rose three point three percent. That was also the slowest pace in more
than three years, and that core measure is considered a better indicator of underlying
inflation. Fiser moving forward with a weight loss pill, the drugmaker wants to
crack the multi billion dollar market for obesity meds. The once daily treatment is
called de Nuglepron. It'll progress to a mid stage study in the second half
of this year, having cleared a scientific kurdle in a small study. Now,
if the drug succeeds, it'll move into the final stage of development.
The daily pill designed as a needle free alternative to popular weight loss shots from
Novo Nordis and Eli Lilly and Casey. Americans have quit quitting their jobs for
now. Apparently a tight labor market and shrinking pay could be leading to what
Wall Street journal is calling the Big Stay. Several surveys show fewer US adults
are currently seeking to leave their roles compared with the job switching frenzy of the
pandemic years. Other data suggests job satisfaction is rising. Of course, I
love my job, and in interviews a formerly job hopping workers, Casey,
they are content to stay right where they are. Back over to you,
and you make much darker jokes than Jeff does. Darker I thought, I'm
brighter the Delta does. After what happened up in Syracuse. Oh my god,
that was just a parts delivery business, wasn't it that they were opening
there? Or they dropped no, no, no no. The two planes
that almost slammed into each other in Syracuse the other day, I thought,
I thought you meant oh, I was so proud dropped the parts off the
door, and I was like, there must be starting a parts delivery service.
You should tell people, Well, you meant the other thing, because
that's funny. No I, alright, make a dark joke. Well nobody
died, so right, that's true, that's true. Journalists are journalists.
Okay, all right, well that's luckily that's not me. So have a
good one, thank you, thank you God. Honestly, I thought that's
what it was, Russ. Did you see that too, American Airlines Delta
flight like once coming into land once say it's it's clearly the tower. It's
not the flight. It's almost they were six hundred feet from each other,
four hundred and fifty feet vertical at one point and then off to the side.
But like they were doing like Maverick maneuvers. I have a theory that
the pilots realized they were in Syracuse and just wanted to end it. So
but you know, again, that's just a working theory because it kind of
looks like it's on the tower. But that's a crazy video. And there's
a dash cam video, uh from and the police officers out of his car,
out of her car, pointing at it, because what can you do
at that point, like, oh my gosh, look at that. So
thankfully Delta went one way, American went the other, and but the rapid
climb they probably noticed in the American Airlines flight there
