This. I can't I'm telling you man. And it's again it's not the
personal I just for whatever reason I never got into the books or whatever.
But JK. Ralling is now one of the most entertaining people, I swear,
and not because of the Harry Potter For those of you who love it,
that's great. I just again, whatever I missed, I missed the
boat. But from like a mystery and intrigue standpoint, nah, this is
fascinating, dude. What's going on here? And if you don't know,
uh a U from a tactical standpoint yesterday and by the way, I think
it's one hundred tactical right, because some people are like, you're giving her
too much credit. No, I don't think so. I think that this
woman, I don't know if she's if she's promised more Harry Potter stuff or
something else. Like, I don't know what she does with her day all
day. Not that she has to really do anything, right, she could
she pretty much ride this one out. But I think I think she enjoys
going back and forth with the British government over there. So for those of
you who don't know, yesterday, the UK's like, you know, we're
already crazy enough on this stuff, and we did put a dude in jail
over a pug. You know, we need we need a new law where
you know, if you say something, then you know, off to the
off to the tower with you, or wherever they put you here. Maybe
that's that cave with the rabbit. I don't I don't know. And it
went into effect yesterday. And so the first thing she did was challenged this
bad boy, and it created a scenario. And what was interesting is I
was looking at analysis not just by I don't know, some Fox News pundit,
some Daily Wire writer, any of the rest, right, because I
know where that's gonna go. But the analysis that I most identified with was
analysis that was being done by somebody who is obviously opposed to JK. Rowling's
line of thinking, although it doesn't sound as militant as most of the crazies
out there, but rather somebody who just realizes this is a dumb battle and
it's not going to go well for his cause and the politicians who would,
I guess purportedly be on half on behalf of his cause. So I did
retweet that with great interest yesterday. But the gist of it is the new
Hate Crime Act took place, took effect yesterday, and the law creates a
new crime for are you ready for this stirring up hatred? Stirring up hatred?
All right? So are we now in an era where we have we're
gonna get into a series of crimes over quote stirring up stuff? Because if
that's the case now granted this is in the UK, but you know,
this makes it over here? How many different versions of these stirring it up
crime crime? Which is sounds like a very clinical measurement tool. There By
the way, what is stirring up? It's really really kind of vague.
And that was to the advantage of what was going on yesterday and how officials
chose to respond to this because they're wards, what does stirn it up mean?
My buddy, his wife likes to stir up gossip? Should he expect
that he's going to be talking to her through glass and bars one day?
I don't. I don't know, because remember whenever you see this stuff,
but Canada, of the UK or others, you have insufferable MSNBC hosts.
You know, oh this is so great, Look what they're doing over there,
and really, what what this taking effect this week following the trans day
of his none of this is none of this is not timed together. A
lot of times when people but said so you understand why the law was put
into effect, the awe or responded almost immediately, and she made some posts
and based on the discussion of the law, people's understanding of it, even
if again stern up stirn up, that could be anything, you know,
some government Jack Boots says it is. Really she made a series of posts
and once again talked about standing up for biological women's right in spaces and refusing
to refer to trans identifying men as women that easily should be in violation.
Based on the discussion of the law and the vagary of the description of the
crime, and it forced it forced one of two perceived outcomes or some some
middling ground, and apparently they're chosen option three, because option number one was
go and arrest her, and she said, yeah, let's do this,
arrest me if you want. And officials had to make a decision, Okay,
do you arrest a person with I don't know how much money she has,
but she's not kind of rich. Does she have a billion? I
know that they were, Yeah, I was gonna kind of lead it up
to like if we got the yodler, the yodler'd be moving the rest of
the show. Does she have it? They think she's got a billion dollars?
Okay, they don't think she knows. I mean they know she's the
most when it comes to authors that have made the most money, she's like,
I think the second biggest in history. Okay. Well, and and
and that's here's why that's interesting too, because I remember seeing arts where they
were kind of giving her the Trump treatment, like she's not really as rich
as she says, like she may, she only has like seven hundred millions.
I'm like, do you okay, all right, fine, do you
want that person to be who you make an example of what the law first?
Right? The person that can actually go to court and defend themselves?
Right, Who might you know who's going to have arguably a larger war chest?
Right? Because and and uh, it doesn't look like she's got a
lot to do. And that's not a knock on her. She's earned it.
Now she just sits back and collects money. And so so she's got
all day she'd bored, So you prosecute her and likely because the British justice
justice system is still classist. I know you're shocked to learn that from a
nation who too has a ceremonial monarch, but also the House of Common,
the House of Lords. Right, it's still it's still ingreded in there.
So if you got a bunch of money, chances are you could you could
render you could render useless this law immediately or toothless. And an option number
two is you don't do anything. And if you don't do anything, whoever
the next person is, or I guess the first person who gets charged under
this law, they send these series of tweets out that she said and said,
you know, this was said by so and so on this day the
law taken effect, and this is what my client's being charged with. And
yet you're not doing anything, and and at that point you also potentially render
this law useless and worthless. So here's the well, let me do this.
So everyone was waiting to see, excuse me, if they were gonna
come up to Scotland, Right, she lives in Scotland and uh and uh
you know, uh do the purp walk with her? Or if they were
just gonna ignore it, and uh, they have commented on it. I
will tell you what their decision is. I still think it pushes us in
this direction. And uh it's it's damn interesting to watch. Uh. Plus
we Gotta, we Gotta. I can't remember if I told you the head
I know I didn't get to the story yesterday. Just just wait for this
from Axios, uh you and and get ready maybe get a Hallmark card or
something, but get ready to hear the behind the scenes of what Beyonce has
been up to. And maybe you're going to send it a little thank you
card. Okay, look, you be the judge. We'll figure out all
of this coming up cac O Day radio program. Oh man, all right,
so again this is Yeah, it falls under across the pond news.
So generally my interest level is not exactly high unless it's just so really dumb.
But yeah, I was watching this yesterday because I wanted to know.
I wanted to know where it's going. After the new UK Hate Crime Act,
which created a new series of crimes for quote, stirring up hatred was
immediately tested and it was tested by somebody who's has access to good lawyers,
one JK Rowling. Who is so you Dick? To first. She's the
richest author. Yeah, she was number two behind James Patterson, but she's
now number one with just over billion. And what I was interested in yesterday
when I first read about this was I wonder if JK. Rowling makes more
money than like Scotland's GDP. She does not. Their GDP is like two
hundred billion, and I was shocked. Oh yeah, I was shocked because
they got you know, uh uh hagis and like train spotting, DVDs kilts
that. No, they have a bunch of pharmaceuticals out there. Edinburgh and
Scotland's interesting because it's it's it's in Ireland's the same way where it's like,
oh, it's just you know, you're like, oh, it's eleventh century
feudal lord time, right all cobblestone, Yeah, right next to the astrozenica
plant, so especially around Cork. Cork's got to town. She lives in
Edinburgh, right, that's and and like she's from Scotland. So that's why
Hogwarts is in Scotland. So that's where you go to walk into the brick
wall thing, right, that's that's in London. That takes that goes from
London to Scotland. Yeah, because Harry Potter is from London. Well don't
they have well where does the train come out at the other end? Don't
they have somewhere in the Scottish Highlands? Right? So don't you also then
have to walk through things to then get back on the train. Well,
I thought you were specifically talking about the one that Harry gets on. I'm
sure that I just drunks the same way, you know, like if I
go to a different if I go to different subway stations in New York,
they look pretty much the same, right turnstiles trains violent homeless people that if
you touch them you get arrested, even if they're threatening to murder everybody that
right now, I mean, this is this is the King's crossing there.
So I mean take what you're imagining and just have like, you know,
T twenty or thirty overweight. Bobby's going, ohait, like that's what.
No, no, no, that's normal. It's about slid Man. Yeah
no, no, no, that's that's pretty much how it is. Okay,
all right, So yeah, she's got a billion some dollars. So
the question was do they want to have this fight with her? After she
put out a series of tweets that were unambiguously according to the folks who literally
crafted the law and were arguing for it, it is unambiguous that her tweets,
and specifically the refusal to refer to a trans identifying man as a woman
and to speak against the inclusion of biological men who identify as women being in
biological women's spaces, those were two very distinct violations based on the the words
of the lawmakers who wanted this. So she tweets it, and now they
gotta they gotta either fight with a billionaire author or not enforce it and have
whoever they do choose to enforce it who doesn't have a billion dollars to essentially
have already made defense. So what was the response going to be, Well,
they're good with it. I think this. I think they think this
is a middle ground. But in reality, I think this feeds into box
number two. So yeah, officials, let's see here. Officials have decided
that they do not feel that those words, which again were given as unambiguous
examples of violations of this based on the stirring up of hatred. Uh now,
those those are not the words. Sorry. Yeah, a Scottish policet
say that the tweets are not considered criminal under the new law. No,
would they feel the same way if the person is sending out the tweets was
like a middle aged, overweight cist male, be different, right, Yeah,
No, That's why I think they chose box number two really, because
people are going, oh, you know they're in the middle. No they're
not. They literally just said no, it's not a crime. And these
were the specific examples given when the when this whole thing was being put together.
So this is not a good few weeks for Planet Fitness. Man,
did you see the late Have you guys seen the latest? All? Right?
This one. Frankly, I think if this was the only one going
on and not everything that transpired with the the woman walking into the woman's locker
room and there is somebody who is full shaving their beard, which again I'm
not Jim bro but I've never ever been in a gym setting where somebody uses
and I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but where I see people shaving.
But you know, I know with Planet Fitness all, every one of those
weirdos on the internet who lives in their converted car right where they're like I
bought an eighty seven Hyundai Accent and and then you and then it's all been
like renovated inside and you know, now there's a Murphy bed and a full
kitchen. Slightly exaggerating every time I've watched one of those videos out of morbid
curiosity. They all have memberships to like not just Planet Fitness, but to
some gym, and then that's their shower though, I guess, and that's
I mean, I've seen it tons of times where people are shipping. I
mean I go at like two thirty three in the morning and there's yeah,
there's a few guys that I know, Like I don't know them by name,
but I know them, like, and I see them at the gym
all the time. And they come into the gym in the morning around uh
while I'm leaving, so around four o'clock in the morning, and they'll bring
like their their suit over their shoulder, like the suit they're gonna wear for
the day, and they bring that into the locker room and they put it
in there when they're done, like I've seen them before, like they'll be
shaving and getting ready for work. Okay, this is why, this is
why I'm asking, So, yeah, it's not uncommon, okay, all
right, Well maybe it's more uncommon in the ladies' locker room. Yeah,
I would think so. Yeah, I don't think you'd be doing your legs,
but I don't I've never been in there, so who knows. Maybe
that's all they're doing is shaving their legs. And I know, idea,
why not? Maybe did Maybe the locker room is is one hundred times better
than the than the one you have. I think the Planet Fitness stuff is
a bunch of a bunch of nonsense. Now. I think what you see
about this latest video is because the last one with the shaving person viral and
they're like, well now we're gonna we're gonna jump on the Planet Fitness heat
train. Yes, I think it is all right, and and and and
and do you agree with me with this latest one? If this was the
only thing, I don't think it would be Planet Fitness who like people just
be like, what what the hell is? I think it's somebody trying to
get clicks, Okay, And and that was all right, so we're on
the samee. You and I are on the same page. Because that was
gonna be my suggestion. However, I saw this story now in Daily Caller
Daily, So at some point if you look at those you're you're gonna see
this. So a couple, I don't know if anybody is uh the everyone's
identifying biological sex here for the purpose of this, I guess if if that's
concerning that being said, a couple is accused of fetish behavior, you know,
how to describe this. Basically, it's one of those dominatrix situations,
but in a gym setting. So a video that was filmed inside of the
and this is in the weight room, not the locker room, so this
in you know, we're in the everybody area. But the video posted shows
the couple, in this case a man on his knees bowing down to a
woman in workout clothes while she yells hey, b word switch meaning you know,
swap out weight straps for her so and he replies, yes, goddess,
thank you. It's also stupid, changes changes her ankle straps and other
stuff out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, here's like arguably
it's but it's weird as hell. I think if you're just sitting there on
the machine. But they, like I said, they're jumping on the Planet
Fitness hate train, which apparently is popular now. Like I have listen at
home. I have a got from the old Junified Morning Show back in the
day, the panda head, and it brought the panda head or you know
Lincoln because he loves pandas and that he thought when I walked in, we're
in the panda head. He laughed, and I did it for the laughs.
If I were to take tomorrow when I go to the gym, uh,
if I were to take the panda head and start working out doing I'm
doing pull and pull downs with the panda head in my head, and then
make a video of it and then like post and be like can you believe
the very proliferation workout. It's a very common at Planet Fitness. It is.
It is, And I just happen to bring the panda head in,
make a video myself, and then post it. And now I'm acting like
it's a thing. You know what I mean? Can't she aren't you not
allowed to wear hats or something? You can wear hats? Okay, Well,
there's one gym I saw where they're like, oh, you can't have
hats. It's very obvious from your comments in the gym that you you are
a big gym guy. Yes, well no, no, no no.
And I read hats and shoving. Yeah yeah. Look at you, mister
swoll over here, I'm so dumb. Yeah yeah yeah, and and and
you you intimated at it. And I want to be very clear, I
believe what you believe. I think I I think that they knew it exactly
what they were doing. I'm on team do not film at the gym periods.
Yeah, yeah, we've had this discussion. Period Just don't do it.
It's just so stupid. And also, don't dress like a whore at
the gym. And that goes for dudes, and that goes for women,
and that goes for dudes. That identifies women, and women identify as dudes,
it goes as datam's and zer. Just don't dress as a whore.
I put some clothes on and don't film yourself, because it's why. And
then you film yourself and then somebody walks in the frame, not knowing that
you're filming, and you're like, how dare you getting away in my camp?
Why are you filming yourself? Why we hadn't you see other people?
Stand Another one last week, this woman who is she's filming this dude who
who she claims is taking trying to take photos of her, and is very
clear in the video he's doing the thing where you simultaneously hit the up volume
and power button on an iPhone, which roster you have an iPhone? What
happens if you hit the power and then the up volume button on it flashes
right, well, but it does take a photo kind of of your screen,
right, and it's very instead I'm saying, yeah, yeah, it's
very clear what's going on. And basically she posted this video of this dude
and it's you can clearly see him, and you know he's a monster.
He's taking pictures all this stuff. And some guy who's served in the Marines,
I think with this guy saw it and contacted him and he and his
wife, by the way, who he was taking the screenshot of of something
because she's she did the thing where hey, you're out, here's nine thousand
things I need from you. And he's so he kind of he's screenshoted so
he could format it into something. He's explaining this and he's doing none of
these things. Yet she rose and to the credit I guess of the gym
because she's accusing him of a crime, and so the gym has exc took
her. She's not allowed back after it came to light. But it but
it was on there, you know, it was out there for a couple
of weeks, and of course, the the folks who were trying to figure
out who this guy is at the same time he's finding out he's on video,
they find out him, and of course that you know, they're gonna
dox him. He's a monster. All this, that dude's probably gonna get
paid. Man Like, she straight up slandered this dude. So yeah,
you know, late latest video I saw it was stop up posting and videoing
at the gym. It was a woman filming herself, so the camera was
in front of her and she was benching. She's doing a bench press and
it's obvious from what she's about to lift that it looks like it's a ridiculous
amount of weight. And there's a guy over to the left behind her staring
at her. And at first the video was framed as in, look at
this pervert staring at this woman doing a bench press. But the guy,
I don't want to be clear, she doesn't have anybody spotting her right,
correct, You know the video I'm talking about, Yes, I do.
Yeah, So the guy is staring at her because she's a perv's it would
appear stands. Yeah, oh my god, she's about to lift a ridiculous
amount of weight. A. I want to see if she can do this,
because it'll be amazing and be If she doesn't, I'm going to save
her life. Well guess what it's option B, because she goes to lift
the weight and it just falls on her chest and the dude gets up,
rushes and saves her life, but just helps her lift it up and put
it back on the rack. So so you can sleep with her, probably
right. Disgusting they all want thing. Yeah, you have to imply all
of these things. Yeah. Yeah. The version of the other version of
that video, though it was one a while ago, is where she's like,
God, get away from me, and then like I can't remember exactly
shit what lift she was doing, but it didn't. It started not going
well, and so you see her panicking looking around for somebody to help her,
and eventually she has to do that thing where he kind of like,
uh like wave your hands around frantically. Well, though it was a combination
of that and the limbo bar right where she's just trying to worm out under
this thing. It's like, well, which one do you want? I
mean, it's your choice. Yeah, no, I haven't seen I haven't
seen the new so that's a I thought you were referencing now, But just
stop filming. One of the reasons I love going to the gym early in
the morning before the show. It puts me in a great mood right for
the rest of the day. It gives me energy. But also I can
avoid all the people because I've been to the gym during the day when the
influencers are there, and there's nothing worse than trying to waiting for a machine
and influencers on. I told you about that one video of the person was
making a while ago where she kept filming herself over and over and over again,
trying to get the right take. She wasn't live obviously, she was
recording herself and she would do she would hit record and then she would do
like a bicep curl and she'd go, oh, feel the burn. And
she did this over and over again. It's like, shut up, stop
filming yourself. It's only going to lend the problems. It's only going to
create drama. There's no reason to do it. So the couple, the
woman who then has her I have to finish this. Sorry, now who
now has her I guess slave change out her equipment, then performs or exercises
while the man lies face down on the floor and when I say face down,
I mean literally he has his face straight flat on the floor. She
then commands him to switch again. He complies, and then he is sitting
there and he opens his mouth and she spits into his mouth as a thank
you. I mean that has to be violating gym policy. I know it's
the no judgment for you know, the judgment for your Yeah, I mean
why you first? Some people are judging these people, this couple. It's
cross are they? You wouldn't be, But I mean that sounds like it's
a violation of all the Yeah. I know, again, I don't know.
I don't know. I didn't want to bring the pan ahead of the
gym. Now I want to bring the pand ahead with a head? Is
it? Can you believe? Is it a slutty pan to head? No,
it's a regular pand ahead. I don't think it's slutty. Well,
I think I subjected anything that can be I guess right right, yeah,
all right, well, I mean if you do it, the problem is
is now you the problem is is if you did that, you would have
to film, and you're out. You know, you're against film. I
am, but I would like to film it, just a post it to
see if they picked up steam. And then it's suddenly a big trending thing.
And the Furries have an infiltrated planet fitness. It's like headlined in the
Blaze or Daily Wire. Yeah they have. So where do they fit?
Where does this fit in? So you got pizza Monday? Right, bagel
Tuesday? Pizza Monday isn't a thing anymore? Oh it's not okay? So
again, you know I'm working off an old cheat sheet. Here is bagel
Tuesday still a thing? I think all the food things are done. What
about spitting your mouth Sundays? That is still a thing. It's okay?
And then proviny videos about it? Yeah, this is Friday. So they
just they got their days mixed up, all right? So there you go.
Just everything gets more and more stupid. I now my question is,
and I have not seen an answered, do they have Do they have an
only fans, or does she because that's the next level here, right.
I mean, you know, I'm not a betting man. I know you
are. Yes, would you would you be willing to bet that they do
have an only fans because I am, I'm on team she does or they
do? Probably she does has a has an only fans And this is probably
going well for just mcguess. You could be the judge eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. All right, coming up on Oh we
got we got the Lieutenant governor today, all right, looking at my calendar
here, that'll be at eight oh five. And that's good because we got
all sorts of shenanigans to get into on the governmental level, plus what the
folks over at US Citizen Citizenship and Immigration are filling their days with, because
you know, pretty much it's very boring office at the governmental level right now.
Nothing much going on, so you know, busy work. But we'll
fill you in coming up. Case O Day radio program. You had something
that was losing that was falling out of orbit. Right, they're like a
Chinese satellite or you know, whatever it is is going to be re entering
the atmosphere and there's a you know, it probably will burn up mostly,
but if it doesn't, or if significant enough pieces remain, you know,
until you get really until you're watching it actually make the fall. They don't
even really try to guess where it's going to land, other than to say
it's probably gonna hit water, which is you know, one of those no
blank sure locked moments, because yeah, that's the majority of the Earth.
So but apparently a two nearly three ton pallette of nickel hydrogen batteries which was
jettison from the space station, which I I that's you know, the amount
of crap that's floating. You know, that's that continues to be in the
upper atmosphere and then you know into into I don't call it deep space,
but but you know, basically it's not going anywhere, and then occasionally it
does kind of, you know, go into Nature's incinerator. Is pretty wild.
Have you've ever seen a map of it? But it's probably not helpful
that you're just shoving your garbage pallettes out into the void. So that's all
I'm saying. And sure enough, the palette, which was expected to remain
in orbit for two to four years, they shoved it out the door in
twenty twenty one did re enter the atmosphere a month ago and believe it or
not, actually hit a dude's house. And oh that's why I remember that
we did this recently because Ross was having work done in his house on the
same day they said a satellite might come through, and then Ross was concerned,
of course it would hit his house because he just got a new roof
for gutters or something like kim or what it was, or all of the
things. But if you had to guess where some dude's house got smoked by
these batteries, thankfully he didn't. Where. Do you think it would happen
Florida? Of course, right? Yeah, absolutely Naples. To be exact,
a man said that a metal canisters, which he didn't initially know what
they were, tore through his roof in Naples. Alejandro Oterra shared pictures of
a metal cylinder, several of which had ripped through the roof of his home.
And I mean when I say, I mean literally it went through the
roof. It then went through the floor of the second floor, and then
went through the floor of the first floor, coming to rest in the crawl
space underneath his home. So just in case you're wondering velocity there. The
object, which each individual object weighs about two pounds, was eventually identified by
NASA as the cylinders in which the batteries are so and then they came and
got well, hold on, hold on, yeah, once again, here
we go. Why are you giving this back? That's yours? Bro.
You know there's there. There is opportunity, even in a very evolving career
path, throughout the course of my career, in it. But I love
it. That being said, I feel like it would be a whole lot
easier if I want fat stacks to just get in on the government study grants
just live off that large esse. All right, this one's the dudes,
So hang on, be sitting down please, and especially if you're a pet
person, this is gonna be very important for you. A new study,
Uh, all right, who's scamming the taxpayers on? This? Is it?
Late Leola? We'll hang on, we'll get to it anyway. A
new study says that dogs can associate words with things. Let me let me
repeat that. Could you know what you're saying saying? Casey? I think
I just you I heard you say this, but that that would not be
possible. So Uh, could you could you tell me again what the study
concluded? Yes, I will. The study concluded that dogs can associate words
with things. Okay, so what is that again? Blown away this morning?
Probably unable to you know, keep going with your morning routine. So
uh, let me armue with the info. So, according to the study,
a dog might be able to understand that some words refer to objects or
actions important to the dog's life in a in a way that is quote similar
to humans. Yes, a study of canine brain waves found that our four
legged companions might be able to recognize words that prompt actions and not just words
that are you know, simple commands like sit and murder him but in German,
but rather things that you didn't set out necessarily to teach your dog that
their brains are able to then associate like And it's probably by the way,
I suspect this is probably going to set some of your dogs off this morning.
And I apologize, but let me run a test. You ready,
ball, where's the ball? Ball? Ball? Ball? Ball? If
that's my buddy's dog, it's you can't do it inside. If you do
it inside, you have the Tasmanian devil appear. It's a Vslaw. But
I enjoy doing it because his his wife's like, why did you? Why
are you stirring up the dog. It's a hunting dog, by the way,
first of all, but and it loves and it's not actually a ball.
It's like one of those This is like an old nerve football that looks
like a bird. Obviously it's a training device, but man, you launched
those words. That dog is on and like, David didn't teach a ball,
but he did kind of right because the dog gets really excited because that's
its jam and it's the irony is if he saw as a pointer. So
some would tell him that that's probably not a good thing for him to do,
but hey, he does it whatever, And I'm sure that I just
set one of your dogs off where I could find, probably within ten words
something that they'd lose their minds. Now they do say, obviously, different
breeds react, but react differently, but may still be able to associate words.
So by studying the brain waves, they found that even dogs who wouldn't
flip out when you'd say that may be processing something where they understand what it
is but aren't going to react to it. And it's just it's breed and
individual dog based. So you know, I guess what that mean is some
of your dogs are cats, because I'm assuming cats their brain waves may pop.
But the conclusion you come to is they don't care. But yes,
yes, somebody decided that we needed a whole study so that dog owners would
know that your dog may understand some of the words you're saying in very basic
ways. What did this cost us? What did this cost? Oh,
they don't have a price on this, bad boy, I'm sure it was.
I'm sure it was. No, I'm sure it was six figures or
better. How are we still to determine it? Anyone who's ever owned a
dog, there's a reason that you will literally spell words in front of a
dog in the same way that you will do it in front of a toddler.
Right, how many of you? How many of you are guilty of
spelling the word vet? Uh? That's just a thing. And why it's
the reason it's a thing is because everyone under the on the planet has already
arrived at the conclusion that this study says that they they may have proven to
be a thing, but further study will be needed. Let's see the study
which you analyzed. I guess eighteen different breeds. It doesn't say fully what
all of them are, uh, proved evidence that you need in each instance.
While they can activate a memory of an object when they hear certain words,
different breeds and different dogs obviously react differently. So I'm sure I changed
your whole world perspective this morning. All right, we grab a cult,
Jake, what's up? Hey? I got a parallel to the to the
dog. The dog understanding word. Uh. They also understand pan signal and
body gesture. This is true. You get in off progrants. Yeah,
and uh and noises too, right, why you know? Not just words?
But how many? How many of you? What is the what is
the land speed record? When your dog hears that familiar sound of the bag
rustling where the food's about to come out? Right? What about a squeaker?
Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm
just this is just like this, what what a license to print money?
And it's my money? So but oh, by the way, dogs have
eyes and ears, well not all of them. Sure, we had a
dog who used to have a ear on one side and doesn't because it got
into it with what we think was bobcat. So well, they're meant to.
Yeah, well he did, he did, he did initially, but
he was also the same dumbass who tried to eat a porcupine on multiple occasions.
So I don't know, maybe the field, yeah, I guess all
right, thanks thanks for the callers, sir. Are they our porcupines tasty?
Uh? Man, this is so dumb ed. What's up, hey,
Casey, good morning. I probably would have loved to have taken that
six figures for the study, man, because the I would have had it
done in five minutes. Because I used to have a Labrador retriev and uh,
you know, as bubbly as they are, you know that people may
think they're dumb. That's more their disposition than their intellect. But probably the
smartest dog I had ever had. And uh, you were talking about spelling
words in front of the dogs like that didn't even work with him. You
had to find I couldn't even say f O O D or you know,
e A T or you know, like spelling it in front of him.
When it came to food, of course, I used to have to say
things like I have to provide them with their evening nutrients, sore or a
whole sentence. Oh yeah, yeah, I must provide them with their daily
calorie cow, you know. And that's not even talking to him. That
would be like saying it to my wife or something. You know, we
had thought you were have been done in five minutes. We had a pair
of labradors at one point, and uh, I do remember that one of
them, which sadly was my favorite dog, and uh, you know,
she got distemper. I was, I was tore up as a kid man.
But I remember that you couldn't. You couldn't if you grabbed your keys.
You couldn't let your keys make noise, because if you did, if
you did, if the two were laying on the floor of the living room
looking as though they were dead, and you jingle the key, the moment
you turn around, they're not there anymore. They are now in the back
of the door. They're inactly because they could. They could. Literally we
had a door that they could pop to get out on the back, so
they would do that, run all the way around the house, and then
they would be in the back of the truck. They're like, we're going
for a ride right way before way before you got there, that's for sure.
Oh yeah, And if you were just going to that seton out of
the vehicle. The look on their faces was like you just you were you,
You had disowned, and you were traitorous. So uh yeah, you
couldn't shake that. That's dog's ever in my opinion, though, right right,
Well might as well get paid for coming to that conclusion, sir,
all right, thanks for the call there. All right, real quick,
James, what's up? Yeah, while we're talking dog stories, let me
tell you how smart the breed, the border Collie breed is. I've owned
several throughout the years. The very first colleague my family owned. Yeah,
okay, the very first border Collie we ever owned came to us as an
adult. We're watching TV one evening and on the TV show doorbell Ring.
So the dog gets up, runs over the door. It starts barking.
But this house that never had a doorbell. So he remembered that from his
wherever he came from and knew what the doorbell was, woke up out of
his sleep and runs over the door, starts barking, even though this house
had never had a doorbell. So, uh, how many videos have you
seen if somebody's like maybe the dog ran away? Was with the new owner
for ten years and then you know some news story where the old owner found
him and that dog ten years down the road runs up and it's like,
hey, heybody, good to see you, right, Hey, what's up
man? Yeah? We we try to find his owner. We did everything
we could do, but he died on the farm with this great dog.
A couple of good videos on YouTube with Neil de grass Tyson with a forget
the border collie's name, but this dog has a It has over a thousand
stuff animals and his owner has a name for every one of them. And
anyway, what a stupid study man? Good gosh. Yeah, well look,
I thought maybe I'm the one and thanks for the call there, sir.
Maybe I'm the one who just thinks this is inherently known and nobody knows.
So I just wanted to bring it to you. But I feel like
you all knew, and they're probably sad that you missed out on your payment.
All right, seven eighteen hang on CaCO Denny radio program. All right,
so we were clowning on this this breaking news study story thing. Dogs,
according to researchers, might be able to associate words with objects, actions,
and or various things important in their life. Yep. Yeah, that's
how that works. And we can sit here all morning given examples, but
I just I want to know how you get a check for this stuff.
So let me elaborate real quick. Then I'm gonna grab on one more phone
call before we hit a few other things. Not only if you jingle,
if you jangled keys, would you know those two idiots jump up and immediately
get in the back of the truck. But if you walked out that door
closest to where the where you would park, which is kind of the side
door back with the woodstack and all that, so it's kind of it's like
a side back door. If you walked out that door, they were equally
under the assumption that it was go for a ride time, And but you
could fool them walking out the front door, which sounds weird, but that's
what That's not where the vehicles were, but it would be the door that
you'd walk out to go over to the barn and stuff, and sometimes they'd
be interested, but sometimes they would just continue to be comatose. So that
was fair. So if you wanted to get out of there without have in
the hassle or try basically, the hassle was then you got to unload them,
right, all right, gotta come out, gotta come out. And
then all of a sudden they can't hear crap, so you would literally go
out the door, and before it, you would literally be forced to walk
all the way around your house, your own house, just so you could
get out of there. Dogs are funny, man. But now we got
Now we got science, all right, real quick, James, what's up?
Hello, James? Hey, this is a tony. Okay, no,
no problem, sir, go right ahead. Hey have you got me?
I got you, sir? Oh okay, Yeah. I want to
see a study done that would show where this money came from, which covement
to pay for us, which shut of Congress means were politicians voted for this
crap? And then maybe we the study could prove that we've got politicians that's
stupid of the doe. Well, I don't know that we need a study
for that, sir, but I'm willing to get paid for that. You
know. I saw a number yesterday. Here we go. The FEDS lost
or wasted two hundred and fifty six billion tax dollars last year. That according
to new reporting from UH who put the RYL Atkinson to the big piece on
this. So when you're talking two hundred and thirty six billions, sir,
I have a feeling you're gonna be waiting around a while if we're gonna just
start adjudicating based on dollar amounts. But I'm with you, Hey, I
gotta go. My dog has got my keys and my LUTs for prayer for
me to go to work, telling me I gotta go to work. I
gotta go. Great, real, you gotta bring you in a beer clue
hopefully Russia. No, no, he' non alcoholic. You know. I
love I love guy, and thanks for the call. I love dudes whose
dogs like, oh, let me see this thing he does. And then
he goes and gets he's able to get a beer out of the cooler,
and I'm like, I've seen this trick, but it never gets old.
Show me again. This is from Slate. The author is a woman by
the name of the Stelle of rash Smiths and Estelle. If every day there's
a new at the by the end of the day, there's at least one
person who I had I have come to the conclusion is the worst person I've
encountered that day. I know that's a little negative. But you got to
understand that I spend literally hours and hours of my day just fishing through,
you know, contentious news stories and reading social media reactions and you know,
really trying to craft what is a show you want to listen to, but
also one that we want to do, and so inevitably you're going to run
and a lot of times it's the same person, you know, Like,
you know, if I had to pick who for that day most annoyed me,
you know, there's a good chance it might be Nancy Pelosi, right,
if there's a contentious thing going on, or Jean Pierre if people are
trying to ask base questions and get basic answers. But I think as Stelle,
I think she wins today, and I think you'll agree. Okay,
here we go. This is the headline. The tricks I use to move
to the front of the line, Yes, I cut lines. Don't hate
me, join me? All right, Artie, how are you feeling about
this person? Because now the whole article is on the premise of I can't
stand her. I hate this woman already. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh you haven't even dude, you haven't heard the ego trip that we're
about to go on. All right, so already, right is the reasoning
is there? Recently? I'm a quadriplegic and I'm in a wheelchair, and
I, you know, I I have a intense fear of social interaction,
and I also have an anxiety disorder? Is or is she just like uppitty
and she thinks she belongs to the front of the line that one? Okay,
so I hate her. Yeah, Now she's not at Disney with rented
kids right over that, that horrible, soulless scam with no all right,
So what would I even start? Just I want you to pay special attention
to the opinion that this woman has of herself as it pertains to you.
All right, And even though it's not in the order that she wrote it,
let me let me explain where her her journey started. So she she
talks about back in didn't say what year, but when the year her daughter
was born. Okay, So she and her husband, her husband's driving and
they are doing the you know, the crazy drive to the hospital because here
we go, it's baby time, right, And unfortunately they were presented with
traffic, specifically an exit lane that was backed up nearly a mile. Where
do they live. I don't know, it's New York, New York.
It looks like all right. So an exit there was backed up nearly a
mile. She said, she turned to her husband in that way that women
who are now in labor do with quote excitement, and yelled cut the line,
at which point he cut right in front of a swath of cars,
drove down the breakdown lane of the ramp. And she noticed that even though
she was literally in labor, he didn't really incur like retaliatory Hanks, which
is odd to me if they are in New York. But whatever, and
that's when she said a light bulb went off. And so she talks about
how she cuts in lines and the ways that she does it. She says
she I'm happy to use my profession, and then gave a gave an example
where she was at an event where a woman who she had known in her
media career wrote a book. Okay, wrote a book, that woman Suzanne
Summers. Obviously you know who that is through his company, and she said
that she was in Vegas there was this event Suzanne Summers, this book was
out and the line to see her was a lengthy one. And so she
said at that point This is an example of where I my use my job
to cut in line, she said. She walked to the front of the
line and explained to the woman who was next, Hey, I need to
talk to Suzanne. I used to be the editor in chief of a magazine
she was in. It'll just take a minute, and she said. The
woman grimace but acquiesced, and she pointed out that the science behind it is
had she tried to like cut in the middle of the line, that's where
you're gonna get pushed back. By going to the front where the person you
are cutting can still see their you know, the their goal, their mission.
They're more willing to look aside, even if they're irritated. And then
she gets into all of these different things. But here's the ego side of
this. Now, the justification. All right, so what do you think
her justification is? And she gets tons of examples of how she cuts in
lines and why she doesn't care. But it's the justification that you're waiting for.
Guess Guess what her Guess what her justification for doing this is She's important
and time spent standing in line is time away from her really really important activist
journalist work. So Therefore, she is justified because she is a person who
I'd never heard of but apparently writes for Slate. This is like the joke
that I'm always saying that, like Dice, she gets special treatment because in
the media. Yes, Like I'll just randomly bring it up, be like,
oh, it's different for me because I'm in the media. She's actually
living this, yes, yes, and they're writing writing a how to about
it. Okay, I got a question, what, how do you know
what anyone in that line has going? You have no idea what anyone in
that like because she you you, you you think so little of these peasants
that are in your way around you, that woman who didn't want to pick
a fight with you over it. And I would point out that there's I
I have. I have several theories, right, So because she's offering a
theory, she's her theory is that the woman was pacified knowing that she was
going to get her book signed because she was still second in line. Whereas
but the other thing is I have to wonder if sometimes people don't say stuff
because there's a racial component. You get what I'm putting down here. I
think that people, especially if they're in a public area, and even if
they perceive that it may they may be justified if they are dealing with somebody
who openly appears to tick a diversity box. I as some people, I
think don't want to get into it. See it isn't even aware that was
a component or part of the story. Yes, yes, that is.
That is so you think that there might be some merit to my theory,
Yes, right, because all it takes is fifteen seconds of you, even
if you're not, even if you are wholly justified. And but if something
is said that is now, look you're dropping in bomb stuff like that's not
going to go well for you. And frankly, at that point, if
you're screaming that in public, that's on you. But also occasionally, sometimes
the reason for the approach or the reason that a disagreement has happened that narrative
is based on whoever gets the narrative out first, and is not always accurate.
So I think some people might sit there and go not, yeah,
I'm just it's not worth it. I don't want to get into it,
and I don't know that that's what it's at play here. But I don't
think she knows either based on what it is. But she doesn't care,
and that's the important thing. She doesn't care because she's come to the conclusion
that her time spending in line is much more valuable than others time spending in
line, and therefore suck it up. So yeah, I don't look.
I don't know how somebody is going to top her for the person I hate
the most this morning. But good luck on that raced agic He's not even
close to the top of that list. He brings his weather because this woman
from Slay wrote an article entire the tricks I used to cut to the front
of the line. Don't hate me. And so she literally this is her
thing. So she'll go to a line and she's she has come to the
conclusion, because she's an important muckety muck writer, that her time is more
valuable and so she's figured out she literally has a scientific process for determining how
to cut in line. Now she says, it doesn't always work and we'll
backfire, And she points out she wanted to take her child to a meetup
for moms with kids. I think it was one of those gyms where you
know they have all the trampolines. Yeah, here it is, and she
said that she was so busy doing her important job that she did not meet
the sign up requirement. So but quote, my daughter wanted to go to
Jimbree, That's what it was, Jimberee, And so she said, I
just decided to show up anyway, even though the sign up was based on
how many people could occupy the facility, and uh just said, hey,
I was coming here, my daughter wanted to go. I'm very busy.
But she said that the moms were We're not having any of it, and
immediately reacted. She was booted out and people made snide comments. So yeah,
yeah, it's just like she's like, no, I'd cut any line.
Oh I hate this woman. Well, isn't that the same as like
stealing your parents' handicap sticker and the tag and parking at the privilege not the
privilege parking, but the handicap parking. Don't want to in the A hole
move category? Sure, just want to make this is like Ray trying to
get to the front of the beer line and being like, I'm a very
important weather guy. Get out of my exactly. That's exactly how it is.
So yeah, yeah, we did that. Unfortunately did that at Disney.
We used my mom being in a one those little cat child yeah,
which is a thing we didn't do that. Yeah, good because then you
would be also on the straight to Hell express right right now. That's see
there anyway for other reasons. But the rain now has got some people driving
a little slow. And that's all east now, heading in through Franklin Warren
Counties and ending here through even eastern Wake County. The steadiest rain as you
go east and getting into places like Martin and out into Edgecombe Northampton Counties and
heading east out toward the Outer Bank. So we're just about done. There's
still may be a leftover shower with thunderstorm with the actual front coming through today,
but I think most of it's done. Mid seventies. Big changes coming
though through tonight will take off about twenty from what your temperature is this morning,
so quick look at the Karth thermometer subtract twenty should be somewhere in the
forties with the gusty breeze tomorrow morning. Yeah, that's what it's going to
be. Maybe a shower tomorrow with the cloud sun mixed. Much cooler,
low sixties thirties for Friday morning, mid upper thirties and then low sixties in
the afternoon it's still quite breezy, and then midnupper thirties over the weekend for
lows, with highs in the mid upper sixties. Back to seventy by Monday,
with sunshine. And don't ask me what percentage of the eclipse that we're
going to see, but we'll have a mostly sunny sky, so we will
see. Whatever that percentage is. I don't think it's very high, but
at least we'll see some dimming of the sun as we go through Monday.
Don't say dimming of the sun. I told you everyone thinks we're about to
die, so well maybe we will. All right, stay tuned. It's
all right, Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Okay, all right,
there you go, Race Agic from the Weather Channel seven forty eight.
Hang on, everybody, I cut in line. It's awesome, and I
mostly I just tell them how important I am, and that seems to work.
I mentioned that I feel that there might be other components too, to
the individual decisions by people not to challenge her. And I think that,
at least because I don't know what's going through that willan's brain in line.
But if I could stereotype for a moment, I have a feeling that a
book line at a at a Vegas health event, like New Age Health event,
which is where this was, I have to feel that the line to
get Susan Summers to sign your book is pretty caucasiony and like if I just
had to guess. So I have to wonder if because I don't know the
woman that she cut in front of. But I don't think you can look
at that situation and not at least throw out the possibility that people. I
think people are more hesitant even if they feel that they're in the right to
get into a public disagreement with somebody, especially if it's somebody because you know,
our society now just trains everybody's brains to recognize who is taking more diverse
boxes, and people just got Look, I'm I don't I don't want I
don't want this turning into a thing where I'm having to explain an eleven second
video on the internet. Right, you don't want to become you to become
a meme. Right, you're you're a middle aged or you're a boomer,
and yeah, you want to be line career. You're a boomer, white
woman. And suddenly this militant woman's up in your face whatever, screaming that
she's a part of the media and she deserves to cut the line. And
you're like, oh my god, please don't ruin my life. Just go
yes, yes, yes, it's science though. Yeah. So it's interesting
that she wrote this whole tips thing, but yet there seems to be this
one big component that brings success for her. Okay, in fact, this
is a great segue. I I have decided that, you know, they're
always the management around here is always trying to get us to expand multi media.
You know, you're not just radio, your podcast, all of that
there, right, absolutely, so Ross, I'm launching a new financial literacy
course. Oh I can't wait. What is it? Well, it's targeted
at people who want to buy homes, and as you know right now,
buying a home is it is crazy. So how do you make it work
where you still want to be able to build equity? So that's it,
and it's it's a two step process. All right, what are the steps?
Can you give that out of there? Giving this away for free?
Yeah? All right, I think look still by the program. But here
we go. Step one, be rich and then step two pay cash for
that. Okay, well I'll look into that. No, you're right,
because like she's writing this book or whatever, this article about how to skip
the line, and her main hint is be a member of the media or
at least say you are right and sell it. I guess like I've had
this before on Twitch, where I've had people start can the average viewer call
on Twitch is like one, one or two, and you'd like to hit
a certain number to grow to get a filly you right, And people are
like, well, how do I can you give me any I'm starting to
stream because you get affiliated fast bright, I'm sorry to stream. Can you
help me out? How do I do it? What are your what are
your hints? Are suggestions? And I said, I can't help you because
my biggest hint would be have a radio show for twenty plus years. Yeah,
that's and it's very easy, man, It's so simple. Yeah,
it's like having a trust fund for my thing. Right. Yeah. Eight
oh so well, creeping up on eight oh seven now CaCO Day radio program.
It is Wednesday, hour number three and since it's the first Wednesday of
the month, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson joins us. Good morning, sir,
How you doing? See how you doing? It's been a little while,
been a little while. Uh. Now we're on the we're on the back
side of the primary. You are, you're going to be the guy on
the Republican side of things, so I can kind of mix and match where
our discussions are. So let me start there. How you feel in uh,
post primary and now now into this mess we call the general Well,
feeling great? See feeling great. We had an outstanding win we got you
know, we were getting pretty pretty pretty roundly attacked by our Republican opponents.
They spent a ton of money. We didn't hardly spend any money. We
just kept hitting the road and the voter showed up and spoke out, and
we were able to pull that primary victory out in handy fashion. And now,
like I said, we're all to the general election, and we have
plenty of momentum going in case that. The night we won and and in
the nights following, we got phone calls and pledges of support from folks not
just all across North Carolina, but all across the country. Governors from all
across the country cheering us, all pledging their support for us, so we're
in very good shape. Why now, Yeah, and luckily now you won't
have to deal with any more attack ads. So well, that's that's just
that's just the beginning, all right. Yeah, So did some of the
some of the folks who obviously, look, it's a primary I understand people
are going to come out and they're they're they're going to argue we you know,
we interviewed your opponents on here, you know, and a lot of
them. The thing was they had very different vision than you or some of
the other folks running. But none. There is not gonna be any crossover
with Josh Stein that I can think of, unless you know of an issue
where you two greatly agree. So it's it's gonna be all all fist fight
from here on out. What kind of discussions that I guess you can tell
us a little like I'm assuming that there's discussion about h Trump coming and you
guys doing a doing a rally of some sort, because is that something we
might see in the near future or what's what's that look like. I'm I'm
sure it will be President Trump and myself, you know, and all of
us. We all understand that the roads in the White House goes directly through
North Carolina. North Carolina is a huge battle rond, a huge battleground state,
and so I'm sure President Trump will invest some of his time here with
us. He's endorsed uff, he endorsed me in the primary and so and
I of course came out and endorsed him very early, and so I'm pretty
sure we'll be seeing him on the stage here before long. All right,
Well, we'll continue to cover that aspect of it. But you know,
up until then, whether you're either a governor or not going to be governor,
you're still a lieutenant governor. And that means work. And there's a
story I saw that I know you have to be interested in, and that
is the idea that the University of North Carolina. This is from wil a
well connected member of the board of trustees. So he expects the university system
to be forced to scrap some of its diversity, equity and inclusion policies,
mirroring what you saw basically down in the state of Florida, where they've done
a lot of stuff. All right, yeah, obviously I suspect you're probably
a fan of this, But tell me more from what you understand I mean,
what are they looking at. Well, you know, we're trying to
do all that we can to remove these agendas from from the from the classroom,
whether it be K through twelve or whether it be higher ends. What
we need to get back to case is, we need to get back to
what we're what we're actually our goal is in education, and what our goal
is in education is excellent. That's our goal. Our goal is to teach
our young people what they need to succeed, to allow them to use their
talents, whatever those talents may be, to succeed, not just in the
classroom, but in life. And like I tell everybody, university like the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I'm sure there are folks on that
campus tout in d diversity, ethlet inclusion in every part of the school casey
except one except one, and that's in athletics. In athletics, in athletics,
from the basketball court, on the football field, on the baseball diamond,
it's all about who's the best. We don't care what the team looks
like, we don't care if they all look exactly the same. We just
want folks to go out there and be excellent. To go out there and
win. If we can do that on the baseball diamond and the football field
and the basketball court, then don't done. We ought to be doing it
in the classroom and let folks compete with their talent and let you know,
let the outcome be what it may. I'm bounding the termine to make sure
that that happens here in North Carolina. I tell everybody when it comes to
DEI, I have my own version of DEI. My version is not diversity,
equity and inclusion. My version is discipline, excellence, and intelligence.
And that's what we need to bring back to our institutions across the board,
whether it be government institution, education institutions, or the private sector. You
know. The irony, of course of all of this is there were two
There's two stories here over the last few weeks. One the students are very
upset over the the interim head over there, interim chancellor, because he worked
for the McCrory administration. He was what budget director or something for about five
minutes. And the richest line I saw mark was one of the students saying
that there's no room on college campuses for political bias, and which is a
kick in the head Man because they also had a story out where they tracked
political donations by major universities and then by left versus right or both right,
and the University of North Carolina registered ninety nine folks ninety nine educational instructors who
did donate. How many of those ninety nine do you think donated to Republicans
versus Democrats? I'd say very few. Yeah, yeah, that would be
zero, mark, that would be ninety nine. Nothing. That's so like
just removing the DEI director and some of that, like that still doesn't get
to the root of the issue that I think some people are pushing back on.
So it's gonna take you, you would agree, it's going to take
more than that. But also there's I had liberal professors that I thought were
really good teachers, but it was very clear with ideologically they but they never
they never made me or any other student feel that we couldn't have our own
opinions. So that's not what I'm talking about. But you know what I'm
talking about that, Casey, is the problem. The problem is not having
a professor who has who and here's to leftist ideology or right wing ideology.
The problem is when you create a system that number one pushes one side or
the other completely out of the conversation, or number two creates an environment where
it gives the professor the ability to be able to push kidle her opinions onto
the students. That's what needs to come We in people having their own opinions.
It's fine, I myself would love at some point to be a history
professor. I am a stalk conservative, But when I walk into that classroom,
tasy, I'm not walking into that classroom as a conservative. I'm walking
into that classroom as a teacher, a person who is there to bring information
to students so that they can make up their own minds, give them the
tools they need, let them make their decisions with absolutely no sway left or
right. That's the environment that we need to create. We have not kept
that environment safe on our college campuses, and we've allowed those folks who do
here the left wing ideology to number one push the right wing folks out of
the conversation. The number two continue to push the left wing of gender further
and further. Are you trolling your political opponents? Because I got to tell
you, Mark, when you just said you want to be a history professor,
I had to imagined like three people having aneurysms in the newsroom of the
paper. Right listen. Well, I started to welcome their uh consternation over
that. But I wholeheartly intend intend to do that at some point in my
life. That's what I went to school for. That's where I went to
university four to study history. History has been a passion of mine. And
uh again, at some point I would love to do that, and the
folks want to and that would make people's hands explode? Will so be it?
Yeah? I just I just it just popped in there. Uh,
let's on the university front. But on on a little lighter note. This
NC State thing got both the men and the women, right final four and
uh, you you know, even though you're you know, you're a you're
a triad guy at heart and throughout your life. But you know, Raleigh's
sports identity. Some of it's the Hurricanes, but it's it's it's State's improbable
run, which uh you know it has it dominates And now we're you have
these comparisons and everything going on. This is great. Have you had a
chance to uh go down, I don't know, I know that you have
to be careful and who you root for. But now the choice is made
for you. Like, how excited are you over this? I'm very excited.
I don't think I don't think there's anybody who doesn't know that I'm an
NC State fan. You know, I did not grow up watching college sports.
I kind of became. I became enamored with the tar Heels because my
wife, she went to school there. But since my tenure as Lieutenant governor,
the NC State has been very good to me. They have been very
good about inviting me to their campus. Casey, you may find us a
shop, but some of the other universities have not. And NC State's graciousness
towards me and openness towards me has has caused me to be a Wolfpack fan,
probably now for life. And I'm just as pleased as I can be
to see this team excel the way they're excelling. I'm telling you, it
does my heart good to see them because and the group of guys that's doing
it seemed to be such great young men, and so we're just rooting them
all all the way. You know, nothing against any other teams North CAROLNTA
teams, but NC State has really found a special place in my heart because
they have been so gracious to me. Yeah, yeah, it's this is
uh, I don't know if I had a sober friend on Sunday when I
was texting, it's like, I know, it's just like it's just they're
in pure party mode. So that is that is great? All right,
real quick, we're chatting with Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson there, I have this,
all right, So this is from Axios, And for those who don't
know Axios, there is actually they also have statewide the kind of like Apple
out of state are. They have local offices throughout North Carolina. So I
thought this was interesting because it's actually one of the local right, but it's
a national one. And this I guess since you and Trump are aligned,
they mean you as well. If Donald Trump returns to the White House,
close allies are said to want to dramatically change the government's interpretation of Civil Rights
era laws to focus on anti white racism rather than the discrimination against people of
color. All Right, I got a question here because the way that that
is written, it leads me to the conclusion that those who are opposed to
Trump or this author don't currently feel that Civil Rights era laws also protect people
from anti white racism. And I guess I'm confused because I thought the Civil
rights laws were to protect against racism wherever it may be. And now,
okay, so what do you got? What do you evil people plotting?
That's so scared, this delicate snowflake mark. Okay, See, that is
exactly you getting to nail on the hands whits. Laws were passed for this
purpose, purpose to make sure that no matter where folks are, wherever they're
standing, no matter what they look like, the law is clear, you
cannot discriminate against people based on their color. It does not say anything about
what that color is. You cannot discriminate against people based on their color.
And when you have folks who want to take these these laws and subvert them
by making rulings or decisions based on folks who may not be the color of
who may not be black, you're doing the exact opposite of the law.
The solution here is clear, just follow the law, and that's all we
want. We want the law to be followed no matter who is standing in
front of you, whether they're white, whether they're black, whether they're Asian,
whether there Latino. It doesn't matter. Follow the law and do not
discriminate against someone based on their color or their ethnicity ethnicity. That is the
law. It doesn't say anything about the persons about white or black. It
just says, you know, we are to treat everybody equally. And unfortunately,
right now we've seen examples of that where that hasn't happened. A great
example University of Chapel Hill with these the Chinese students and Asian students. We
can't take any more because you make two good grades. So we're gonna have
to limit the amount of you all that can get into our university. Uh
that that can't happen, Tason, We can't, We can't. America doesn't
operate that way. And I'm sorry, and I'm someone I'm correcting you,
but only sarcastically. But it does the example that you gave. While there
has been litigation having to do with affirmative action, obviously with North Carolina uh
up in the Supreme Court, there are examples every day that I run across
Mark where it's like such and such is all right. We're having a new
manager's recruiting process at x y Z business, but only minority candidates could apply.
This is stuff that we see every day and people scream and go,
look, how is this not a violation of labor law? And yet I
don't see stories where there's accountability for this except in very large scale, very
litigious, very public cases. Most of this day to day stuff with businesses
just gets ignored. So why would you follow the law if nobody's holding you
accountable? Exactly You're exactly right, And that's exactly what we need to do.
We need to start making sure that we put judges on the bench and
we need to start putting the right people in a place to hold people accountable
for not following the law, not falling along with di standards, not falling,
along with some type of some type of agenda. Follow the law and
the law is clear on this issue. And that's why so again so important
to have the right leadership and the talk and then have all those folks underneath
in places such as our court system and then our legislature that are going to
make sure that the rules are followed and that the law is followed, because
when you don't follow the law cases it may work for a little while,
but eventually it's just like a putting bad gasleen in a high end tar.
Eventually it's going to catch up with you. And I would admit that if
we continue to do these things in this nation, it might work for a
little while, but eventually the machinery is going to start to fall apart less
than a minute Monday, there is a eclipse. If you go online,
conspiracy theories runneth over. Do you more? Do you? Are you more
interested in the theory that it's the end times rapture or that it's the killer
planet Nabouru coming to crush us. Where's the Lieutenant Governor's stand in thirty seconds?
You know, I'm pretty sure that's somewhere back in the nineteen forties,
the cataclysm of World War two, with all the terrible things that happened.
I'm pretty sure there were folks back then and that thought that there were those
were the end times. You know, My Bible tells me that no man
knows the day and the time, and we don't know to day and the
time. And as far as I'm concerned, this the whole eclipse thing,
it's just a natural philosophy, naturally occurring phenomenon, and and it'll occur,
and it'll pass and then mar so, sorry, I'm out of time,
but I thank you and we'll be back. Hang on Ross mark him down
for Team Nabouru. So but he had to choose one or the others,
so he kind of sounded like he doesn't buy either. But that's fine.
I'm asking everybody that question this week. So that's how that goes. All
right, are you all ready to say thank you? You know? Yeah,
Look, we had a lot of stories this morning where your natural reaction
is right, you know, cut in line, lady. Two hundred and
thirty six billion, and your money, the government, federal governmental level is
lost, not wasted, necessarily, just lost, not where it is.
Whoops. Ugh. But it's not all negative, no, no, no,
This in the New York Post, of all places, how Beyonce revived
a dying genre with her instantly timeless country album Cowboy Carter. Now here's the
deal. And I want to be very clear, I don't have beef with
Beyonce. I know a lot of people if it's not that genre, if
it's not their genre, I think it really wound up over this stuff.
Beyonce wants to make country music, she wants to make gospel, she wants
to do pop right, I don't care. She if she can learn to
play the bagpipes and wants to a poka album, I don't care, go
ahead and do it. And my musical taste is I know it's a it's
pass to say it's eclectic, but it is. And it's a lot of
it has to do with being in radio and working in radio stations where you're
board off, you're behind because you're doing the night shift, right, and
uh, you just start looking at you looking through some of the albums,
some of the different stuff. The gold discs. Uh, the we used
to we used to get a disc every week of you know, the the
ads and and they were these white they were a CD right white discs.
And then it had you know, like the twenty ads or recurrens that were
going back into rotation, and you know, we had them going back forever.
And when I first started radio, I'm working that, you know,
that evening shift on AM radio station. And to say that it expanded my
music knowledge would be an understatement because just like what am I doing? I
need something to do, So that's what you do. With that being said,
I also don't care if an artist wants to do another thing, right,
Ray Charles did a country album that worked out. Okay, so I'm
all about this. However, here's where I take a little bit of I
think or I think we need to pause. Okay, here's the here's from
the story. Country music has been on life support. With trailblazers like Johnny
Cash, Whynette and Pride Gone, We're left with Walker Hayes and his hod
awful Applebee's jingle You're not It's not just him. Maren Morris, Cassidy Pope
led Nashville all right. Well again, you know the the the popification of
some female country artists and a couple of males, but I tend to see
more on the female side. That's not new. Even all time greats Looretta
Lynn and Alan Jackson declared the genre dead and gone. All right, I
don't know that. I believe that. The reason I don't believe that is
because I'm a numbers guy and we work. I don't know if you know
this. We do talk, but we also in what we have stations that
do play this music. And without getting into all the details, country is
a format that has been that has fared far better than other musical formats.
And I don't know where it stands now, but I remember reading last year
and seeing within some of the discussions that that we have, you know,
with our general all call meetings, that listenership definitely, definitely in many of
the markets, including this one, is actually up or was last year,
more people sampling that genre. Now, if you mean from I don't like
any of the new artists, then that's fine. You can have that discussion.
But writing this whole thing that beyond say just saved country music? After
I had to hear how Taylor Swift say football, I just can't man,
right, you're making you're you're creating the beef that people then perceptibly have with
these women or others, right because I didn't hear Beyonce saying she saved country
music, just that she wanted to do an album, and then she did,
and I saw some people like, dah, she's not a country artist.
And that's where I'm like, I don't care is the music good or
not? And I don't know, I haven't listened to the album. That
being said, she didn't save country music and Taylor Swift didn't save football,
which that that one I understand less. So can we just just just take
it down one peg? Can we on stuff like this? Oh, the
twenty seven track project, a soulful celebration of Southern values and the genres African
American. You know what, I'd probably like it. I'd probably like it
this if if, if it is a more soulful country album and it's well
done. You know, I'll probably listen to a couple couple songs on the
iHeart radio app today. But we need to stop it with articles like this,
because come on, man, that's I'm trying to remember the last time
they said, you know who, I remember Leam, remember when Leon Rhymes
came out with Blue and I remember that whole discussion, But that was they
were talking more about young female artists and more sounding more like the legendary artist
of yesteryear, right with with her vocal range, the type of songs like
I'm here for discussions like that, and maybe maybe Beyonce drags more people over
to it, and that's a good thing for everybody. But I'd hold off
on the Superman comparisons. But that's just me and maybe I'm wrong. And
you know, if you listen to the album, you'll find out it's true,
all right, well, then I look forward to being wrong if that's
the case, because I enjoy good music. That's just me. Now,
this is unfortunate right here. I feel a little bad. Regis and it's
not Regis and Kelly obviously anymore, but Kelly Rippa, And it's Kelly and
Mark. I don't even know how they titled the show anymore. But Kelly
Rippa and her husband Mark are the hosts of what used to be Regis and
Kathy Lee, except they're on vacation this week. Okay, So when they're
on vacation, rather than forcing you to listen to America's Morning news, they
just play old old episodes. And that's what they did yesterday, and now
they are they're doing some backtracking on Tuesday's replay since as the couple is on
vacation this week. One of the episodes, which was from June of twenty
twenty three, included an interview with I did not click on that picture,
thank you? Including a picture with Mary Jay or an interview with Mary J.
Blige. Okay, and during the interview, they're talking about, you
know, Mary J. Blige, how's she looking, What have you been
up to? You know, it's all real cookie cutter stuff that you normally
get from this show, and Blige tells Kelly when she brings up a photo
that Kelly referenced to Mary J. Blige where she thought she looked really good,
she said, yeah, I was. I was actually on I was
on a yacht for a week and got massages and relaxed and thank you,
and Kelly starts begging to be able to go on the yacht. It's puff
Daddy's yacht. So they ran an episode yesterday of Kelly Rippa begging Mary J.
Blige to get her an invitation so that she can hang out on puff
Daddy's yacht during the same week when all this is going on. Immediately after,
reporters tried to contact producers of the show and is at ABC. I
think it's ABC, right, The network, while declining comment, immediately removed
the episode and that segment from their YouTube lineup where they I guess they post
on the regular there. So they're just going to pretend it didn't happen.
But that's wild because it's like I would assume at that level, if you're
going to replay an episode, somebody watches that thing first, right, Apparently
not, so there you go all right, a forty five race staging from
the Weather Channel. Unfortunate timing there for the folks on the Kelly Show.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's like yeah, all right,
and then tomorrow it's it's a replay of that time we interviewed uh, Harvey
Weinstein. So right, yeah, that's and that's very unfortunate. Yea,
this is so maybe the weather you would have to go. I tried,
I tried that better, better, improving in terms of the priests, but
forget about the eighties until maybe. But it's also not better if we if
it's still a comfortable temperature and then the wind blows nine hundred miles an hour,
so well, yeah, I mean we're gonna have the wind that'll be
whipping around at times gusting maybe twenty thirty miles an hour. This afternoon still
might see a shower, maybe a thundershower. The front still to the west
of US. There might be enough instability to still touch something off, but
most of the steadiest rain east of US now towards the outer Banks. A
mid seventies today, so after the mid eighties yesterday, we're cooling off a
little bit, still above average, more cool the come low to mid forties.
Tonight is still quite breezy, so certainly a jacket on Tomorrow morning,
maybe an afternoon shower with a suncloud mixed low sixties and the thirties Friday morning
and Saturday morning and Sunday morning, but the afternoons will be in the low
sixties to the mid sixties by Sunday. Still a little breezy Friday, so
brisk is the word I choose, Casey, But the weekend should be gorgeous,
and Monday we'll be back in the seventies, and I think by eighty
eighty degree is probably by about Tuesday. So the heaviest rain is east of
us now Hea or miss shower thundershower this afternoon and then maybe a shower tomorrow.
Otherwise dry, cool, So we're back to jacket weather, and that
chili weather, especially the next few mornings, will last probably into the upcoming
weekend, so make sure we're ready for that. Okay, All right,
Well we'll chat tomorrow, sir, have a go on. Okay, and
Jeff Bellinger plus Florida Man join us next. Hang on, Jeff Bellinger,
what's going on? Well morning, Casey. Stock market futures pointing lower,
again this morning, we have the Dow futures down forty six points. Worries
about inflation and interest rates wait on the stock market. Yesterday, the major
averages had losses that range from seven tens percent to one percent. We just
got new numbers from ADP that indicate the job market remained solid. Private employers
added one hundred eighty four thousand workers to their payrolls in March. That's more
than economists were anticipating, and most of the new jobs were in the service
sector. Workers looking toward retirement have raised their retirement targets their savings targets,
i should say, adult survey by Northwestern Mutual believe they will need nearly one
and a half million dollars to retire comfortably. One point forty six million is
the precise number. That's up from one point twenty seven million a year ago.
But many Americans are willing to put aside their anxiety over meager savings and
high credit card balances. Nearly four in ten people surveyed by Bank Rates say
they're willing to take on some added debt to have some fun this year.
The most popular discrestion stionary expenditures are travel dining out and live events. Employers
still adjusting their real estate footprints as hybrid work arrangements become more common. The
nation's office vacancy rate hit a record in the first quarter. According to Moody's,
nearly twenty percent of offices across the country were empty at the start of
the year. Amazon dot Com giving up on the concept of stores that have
no cashiers just walk out. Systems already in place at the company's Fresh grocery
stores will be removed as the stores are remodeled. New locations will not have
the technology. Amazon plans to rely more heavily on its dash cart that let
shoppers scan items as they go. And a Casey, a couple of tech
giants have to defend themselves in patent suits. Apple is accused of infringing on
patented technology to power its Serie voice assistant. A lawsuit charges Google's reverse phone
look up infringes on a patent. Casey, All right, Jeff, appreciate
it and we'll chat tomorrow, sir, sounds good talk to you. Then,
all right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. Yeah,
I got let's fit both. I'm not going to run the song for
Florida man, because I'm gonna see if I can get both these stories in
ross. Where do you want to start? Do you want to start at
a racetrack gas station or a waffle house slash tattoo parlor? Well, I'll
look at that. Didn't even pause. All right, here we go.
A Florida man has been arrested on theft charges for refusing to pay for a
two hundred and fifty dollars waffle house tattoo. The five inch tattoo which is
the logo minus additional color right with the letters and the squares he got tattooed.
Let's see on his calf. The tattoo looks good, you know,
colorway coloration and all. Also in capturing the waffle house logo. However,
as the tattoo artist at Ink Gods and Saint Pete, which was adjacent actually
to a waffle house, finished up, it was at that point the defendant
allegedly told him that he only had six bucks and he was drunk when he
came in and asked for it. Now he's not drunk and he's not paying
for a tattoo of waffle house on his calf because it's dumb and he was
drunk and that doesn't work, so they eventually called police when deputy say that
when he refused all options to satisfy his debts, including they said, hey,
just set up a payment program, like we don't want to do the
paperwork. He said no. So he's standing by the position that nobody would
get a waffle House tattoo, so it proves his drunkenness, so he shouldn't
have to pay for it, and that's police don't agree. So that's number
one. Now off to it's a racetrack, I thought was speedway a racetrack
gas station where a thirty five year old woman is Now she's going to be
doing fifteen months in prison. I remember we mentioned this story, but now
now we know what you get for this. According to authorities, in late
January, thirty five year old Celia Barrett entered a racetrack convenience store where she
was a known problem, naked as a jaybird, screaming, intoxicated, trying
to fight both customers and employees, and then she quote pulled a previously unseen
rusty vegetable peeler and used it to threaten people as well as destroy stuff.
I don't want to know where she had it, and but when police arrived
at that point, she's a lawyer, I guess, because according to the
report, she began to vigorously have alone time, but not really alone because
you're standing in a gas station and told the deputies from the Penelas County Sheriff's
Department that quote, they couldn't intervene or touch her while she was engaged in
that activity. So deputies disagreed and taser beats potato peeler slash speedhand. I
guess. So there you go.
