WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.240 I know Hogszilla was a North Carolina thing because we talked about it and then 2 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:10.400 people are like, hey, man, you want to come down and shoot 3 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.080 some feral hogs. I think that was in Joco. I'm just looking at 4 00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:20.440 a picture of this thing. So some guy was this Texas. Yeah, 5 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.199 so this guy in Texas, and you've probably seen the picture floating around, 6 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:34.840 literally got his house attacked by a feral hog. And I saw that you 7 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:42.840 had Texas Wildlife officials now using the term super pigs. So that's a thing. 8 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:51.840 Oh how big is this damn thing in the picture here? I have 9 00:00:51.880 --> 00:01:00.119 to be honest, I have I have hunted a a Javelina in Texas, 10 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.760 and that would be the only wild pig ever. And it didn't taste that 11 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:14.319 good either, by the way, but it was remarkably smaller than the the 12 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.079 feral hogs, which is not even a cold weather or a warm weather thing. 13 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:23.319 Necessarily. Michigan's got absolute Russian beasts. I can't remember what breathed they 14 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:32.680 were, but let's see here. I thought it was funny because the internet 15 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.959 every time there is a giant hog, and we're tweeting this picture out. 16 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:42.640 If you haven't seen this thing, they go back to the AR fifteen. 17 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.120 Dude. Let's see here. Yeah, it was this guy. All right, 18 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.560 so this dude, this is in twenty nineteen. Man, I'm telling 19 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:57.439 you, time absolutely flies. I remember stuff, Russ. How often do 20 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.359 you remember something we talked about on the show, like this is what recently 21 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.920 happened. So I was scrolling on Twitter and they were talking about how it 22 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.199 was like the tenth anniversary of the death of Harold Remus. Stop ten years. 23 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:10.360 No, ten years is twenty fourteen, and I was like, that 24 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.919 was like two years ago. No, it's like the show The ten Years, 25 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.120 man, I mean it's ten years there. Okay, all right, 26 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.400 Well now I don't feel as bad because this is like five years ago and 27 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.280 I thought it was last year. So the dude, uh, this is 28 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.240 what the guy tweeted. He goes legit question for rule Americans, how do 29 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.360 I kill the thirty to fifty faral hogs that run into my yard within three 30 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.960 to five minutes while my small kids play? That turned into an AR fifteen 31 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.840 thing, all right, because people are like, oh, what you want? 32 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.280 Is you want? And arguably I still don't think an AR fifteen is 33 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.919 gonna help in that situation. For most people. One chances are you don't 34 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.280 have that many rounds too. You got to hit the damn things three. 35 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.039 It's going to take you a while. That being said, for whatever reason, 36 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:09.159 it turned into this like viral thing where you know you don't need an 37 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:14.199 AR fifteen, and this guy's trying to make excuses, and frankly, I 38 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.520 read that tweet is a little bit of a joke, but also not. 39 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:23.400 I mean in the sense that if you've ever seen, if you've never seen, 40 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.439 this is just entertainment. By the way, if you've never seen the 41 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:34.319 videos of the dudes who come out and set up the wild hog super trap, 42 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.800 I don't even I guess, for lack of a better word, it's 43 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.479 crazy, man. And Texas is kind of like ground zero for this stuff, 44 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.680 where they'll come out to a property and they'll set up what it looks 45 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:53.240 like a big round corral with the automatic gates and they'll nab thirty forty of 46 00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.240 these things at a time. As far as North Carolina listeners have said me 47 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:06.319 pictures we had the hog Zilla towards the coast. I know they get big, 48 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.319 I just don't know if they get the same numbers. Sorry, I'm 49 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.800 just looking I'm literally looking at a wiki page over wild hogs in North Caroline. 50 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.279 It says they do. I just haven't seen any of those big trapping 51 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:27.879 videos. So yeah, an average herd could run thirty to fifty. It 52 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.680 literally says that. So anyway, I'm sorry, I'm just looking at the 53 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:38.360 new picture. And then it like restarted the whole stupid debate. What you 54 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:44.480 want is you want the truck mounted gun of rambo. I think in that 55 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:54.639 scenario, or or a predator drone that probably will be helpful. So how 56 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.319 many of these damn things are killed every year? But those of you have 57 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:05.800 property with wild hogs? How bad is it? How many? How many 58 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.720 of these things do you? Plink? I don't even know what the regulations 59 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.920 are in North Carolina. I gotta be honest with you. I know in 60 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.199 a lot of states it's just like, ah, that's whatever, do whatever 61 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:21.480 you want to do. But I might have to I'm gonna have to take 62 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:29.800 her one listener up. Yeah, here we go. All right, Well 63 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.079 that didn't answer my question, thank you. Yes, I understand that people 64 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.600 hunt them. I'm trying to figure out what the REGs are, all right, 65 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.680 I'll look that up. Or if somebody wants send me an email. 66 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.240 They can, We'll be uh, we'll be super lazy on that. All 67 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.319 right, let me get over to this. Sorry, I got wild hog 68 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.480 distracted, fighting with the computer distracted. It's it's a whole thing here, 69 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:57.040 all right. Eight eight eight nine three fours seven eight seven four. Now, 70 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.879 some dude, just send me a picture. Yes, I understand that 71 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.920 that's the one you got. I'm trying to figure out whether I need a 72 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:12.279 tag, if it was hard, or if they're just running around. I 73 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.439 admittedly I don't know that. I don't know that I've ever seen one in 74 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.600 North Carolina, let alone this thing that barely fits on the back of an 75 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:26.600 F one fifty. I gotta think that's not gonna taste too good either, 76 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.759 But who knows. Maybe I'm wrong? All right, eight eight eight nine 77 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:38.040 three four seven eight seven four. Let me get on to Georgia State Rep. 78 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:46.680 Rua Rua Roman. Okay, are you w A? I'm assuming that's 79 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:58.759 Ruwa. So this is Georgia State Representative Rueraw Roman. I can't even say 80 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.279 that, no matter how many times I tried. Anyway, this is also 81 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.879 on the issue of Hope Riley. Now, Hope Riley was the college student 82 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:14.279 who was killed. The individual who is alleged to have done the killing is 83 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:20.279 also somebody who's been in the country under this sole migrant program for eighteen months, 84 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:26.399 almost twenty months, and people are pointing that out. People are pointing 85 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:33.680 out that, yeah, this is an individual whose mere presence obviously was a 86 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:42.959 contributing factor. The representative tweets the following, some of you all, I 87 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.040 do like the all got a cater to the Georgia constituency. Some of you 88 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:53.720 all lack reading comprehension skills. If we got rid of every immigrant and banned 89 00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:01.120 all immigration, women would still get murdered while running because this is a societal 90 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.560 issue and women are targeted because we're women. Now, is she wrong? 91 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.480 No, No, there are. You could easily find a story of somebody 92 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:24.959 who is was born here and that happened. In fact, this is an 93 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.159 issue, maybe not to that level that we've talked about with the tobacco was 94 00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:37.559 it tobacco trail or whatever, the trail through Durham where we've had some pretty 95 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.080 bad incidents. And actually I was just gonna say we didn't have a murder, 96 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.840 but we did, right the high school at high schoolers, right and 97 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.240 as far as I know, everyone was a natural born US citizen, so 98 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.399 you're not wrong, But I fail to understand why it is mentally taxing to 99 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:09.080 sit there and go if the person was never here, likely that incident wouldn't 100 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.240 have happened. And it is for whatever reason, it is a connection. 101 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:24.639 That is when you're when you're when you're sitting here defending lawlessness. Uh yeah, 102 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.159 all right, so and then they uh, here, here's a couple 103 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.279 instances I found, so post some links and like, totally understand that. 104 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:41.120 However, the likelihood that make sure I get the name right, Hope Riley, 105 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.759 I keep wanting to say Riley Gaines, and I know that that's the 106 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.919 swimmer and the transgender thing, but it's on the brain. The likelihood that 107 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.559 Lake and Hope Riley would be dead is pretty close to zero, just based 108 00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.320 on the you know, the actual criminal rate on something like that. It 109 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.600 was this situation, and again it is alleged, but it is this situation 110 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.960 with the specific details of which that seemingly led to this. And if you 111 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.679 are an elected official and you can't separate yourself from that moment or connect it 112 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.519 to how most people look at it, right, because the scenario is if 113 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:33.000 the if the individual who came here from and you know El Salvador, right, 114 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.600 and then came up here and snuck in and maybe got caught. It 115 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:43.600 sounds like this individual was in the books. You're going to try really hard 116 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.879 to come up with scenarios where that actually happened, because it's not the it's 117 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.879 not the uh, well they're taking our jobs discussion, right, the difference 118 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.639 being all right, well they came here and if they didn't work that job, 119 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.600 then you wouldn't have anybody working at the poultry plan or any of the 120 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:09.039 agricultural type jobs where we have this discussion. And that's because the vast overwhelming 121 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.600 majority of people who do come to the United States, even illegally, don't 122 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:20.440 murder people. Okay, they work. There may be you know, criminal 123 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.240 offenses along the line of what a standard citizen may actually commit, but they're 124 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.399 not actually here for murder. But some of them are or at the very 125 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:39.519 least criminal activity. And to prove that, Bloomberg has an article yesterday or 126 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.519 had an article yesterday, here we go. Venezuela's violent deaths fall to twenty 127 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:52.879 year twenty two year low on migration. It's the lowest rate of murder since 128 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.840 two thousand and one in Venezuela. Now, is that because Venezuela got super 129 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:05.039 better. No, it's a much more terrifying statistical analysis, and I will 130 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.240 give you the details of that coming up next here on the CaCO Day radio 131 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:18.679 program. So yeah, reading this from Bloomberg yesterday. Of course it's paywalled, 132 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.000 so you go like dig up a couple other versions of this, but 133 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.200 the meat of what you want to know here we go Venezuela, which is 134 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.000 still as it has been, which is a tragedy. By the way, 135 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:46.480 Venezuela is visually stunning as far as the capital which is separated by these immediate 136 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.720 mountains. There you drive through and you're at the at the beach, and 137 00:12:50.360 --> 00:13:00.399 was a very popular tourist destination. Was at the time of a just a 138 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.039 regular farmer coming into power there, you know, just a regular guy before 139 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.559 he went straight dictator and then his buddy took over from him. Was the 140 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:18.480 richest country per capita in South America, and it wasn't close. It wasn't 141 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.840 close. And you know, I like to travel. Venezuela is one of 142 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:30.159 those countries I Aruba and Colombia obviously I just went to Columbia, but those 143 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:39.120 are the two closest countries, and Colombia will Columbia sad man as as many 144 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:46.320 many of those countries are in South America, sadly, but there is There 145 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.039 was a definitive pecking order, and Venezuela was at the top of it, 146 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:58.080 right, and then it turned into one of the most dangerous places in the 147 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.519 world. And you saw the videos of peace people literally bringing in money and 148 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.519 then weighing it. Right, they're not counting it, they're weighing it. 149 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.759 You saw people who were using literally reflective son off trash can lids to cook 150 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.480 because they didn't have access to, you know, fuel to run a stove. 151 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.960 And and and then you saw like idiot actors down there posing for pictures 152 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:30.039 talking about Sean Penn and whatnot. So if you're in the business of being 153 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:39.759 a criminal and other than a very small slice of friends of the dictator are 154 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.360 having a reasonable amount of money, it's it's not a good hunting ground. 155 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.600 So that's where this thing gets crazy. Venezuela's violent death so murder, criminal 156 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.639 murder. So this is not counting suicides, which, by the way, 157 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:05.679 the suicide rate in Venezuela is also up significantly and has been and will continue 158 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.879 to be. And that's saying something for a predominantly Catholic country, but that's 159 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:18.840 its own thing. Yes, the murder rate as part of criminal activity falls 160 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.159 to a twenty two year low, So then they try to figure out, 161 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:28.799 well, why is that? And as you read through the story here we 162 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.759 go, Venezuela's rate of violent deaths dropped to the lowest level in more than 163 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:39.919 two decades. Why Well, according to authorities, massive migration of both criminals 164 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:46.720 and victims. So the population number drops, but within that population you have 165 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.799 people who are criminals. And you know what, in a way that that 166 00:15:52.000 --> 00:16:00.519 makes sense. If you are a criminal in Venezuela, it's got be hard 167 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:06.799 to grind out a living. So the scary thing is that those criminals are 168 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.879 thought to have fled the country the countries where do they go? Columbia is 169 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.360 first just due to the you know, the border being there. But as 170 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:21.279 you scroll through the top ten, guess who's number three? That would be 171 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:26.879 us. Now it's an estimate, but it's probably not off in the sense 172 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:32.159 that, yeah, some of the folks who made their living out there raping, 173 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:37.480 pillaging, and murdering went oh man, there's nobody to rob here. 174 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.519 Where should I go? And then we find ourselves where we are. So 175 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:48.200 that's your little terrifying stat for the morning, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, just 176 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.840 in case you don't remember both the governor and lieutenant governor, right, It 177 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.320 was really everyone was shocked, Oh my gosh, how the Republicans win. 178 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:03.159 And even though the chamber has flipped Democrat, what remains for the governor, 179 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:10.119 lieutenant governor, and the lieutenant governor of Virginia is a woman, is a 180 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:15.160 black woman, is a veteran, and is a Republican, which didn't matter 181 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:23.599 obviously, the nastiest of attacks happened. But Winsome Earl Sears is her name, 182 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:32.920 and she has a little different role than our lieutenant governor. In North 183 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.359 Carolina, like Virginia, the lieutenant governor and quite a few states, actually 184 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:44.640 lieutenant governor is the head of the Senate, but in Virginia it is a 185 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:52.799 more active role. I'm pointing this out to explain how Sears found herself presiding 186 00:17:52.880 --> 00:18:02.440 over the Senate chamber. And you also have to know that up in Virginia 187 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:12.279 there is a senator by the name of Danica Rome from DC area, who 188 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:21.680 is a transgender woman, so man at birth and now identifies as Danica and 189 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:27.200 Frankly, I don't know what their other name was, but it doesn't matter, 190 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:33.839 all right. So, so, if you've ever seen who's ever presiding 191 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:40.000 over a chamber, unless they are core focused on an individual vote, a 192 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:44.799 lot of it's housekeeping. So there's you know, there's somebody talking to them. 193 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:49.440 They're going through the you know, the required motions for parliamentary kind of 194 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:55.000 stuff. And so in the video you see the Lieutenant governor doing that. 195 00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:00.799 Literally there's people talking to Lieutenant governor. She's looking at she's looking a piece 196 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.160 of paper. I don't know if that's the schedule or where she's supposed to 197 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:11.599 go or whatever, but it's it's very loose in what is going on. 198 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:17.039 And the reason I reason I point this out is I don't know that she 199 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:26.440 the Lieutenant governor looked at the senator so vocally is what it appears that the 200 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:33.880 Lieutenant governor went off of. And as part of the discussion, this senator, 201 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:41.119 the transgender senator says, I wanted to clarify a number. It was 202 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:48.079 a parliamentary inquiry, is what she would call it in you know, legislative 203 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:53.440 stuff. And so the Senator Rome said, quote, and what would the 204 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:59.119 exact number for that be, Madam President again, President of the Senate, 205 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:06.319 And and the response was, yes, sir, that would be thirty two. 206 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:14.519 It was the sir that set the whole place off. And if you 207 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.400 didn't see this, basically, here's what happened. After that was said. 208 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.720 The senator puts down the microphone and literally walks out of the Senate chamber. 209 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:30.960 The colleagues, the Democratic colleagues, start losing their crap and had to and 210 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:37.240 I wish I was making this up, had to take recesses, not one, 211 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:45.039 but multiple recesses because they were emotionally unable to continue and people were literally 212 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:59.200 crying over this misgendering. So after it happens, all of a sudden, 213 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:04.359 everyone erupts, how dare you? You're horrible, You're a monster. We 214 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:08.039 need a recess. Two of the senators are in the back tearing up. 215 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.759 One of them literally is unable to vote on the recess things. Apparently they 216 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.000 have to vote on that, and you have a big group that walks out 217 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.319 and then they're standing in the hallway. They immediately find a member of the 218 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:30.839 media. In this case, it was the public radio reporter Michael Pope, 219 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:38.680 who was there to document all of this, and Sears at first is like, 220 00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:44.279 what the hell happened? And then they figured out these are grown ass 221 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.839 adults who are unable to continue senatoring or whatever you want to call it, 222 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:56.319 following this most heinous of offenses. And then even when they get gathered back 223 00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.920 and Sears says, apologize, I don't look, she apologized. Some people 224 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.240 are like, she shouldn't have done that. I'll let you decide, she 225 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.799 said. Let it be known. I'm not here to upset anyone. I'm 226 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.000 here to do the job the people of Virginia called me to do, and 227 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:19.160 that is to treat everyone with respect and dignity. And at the end, 228 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.960 she said, quote, I myself have at times not been afforded the same 229 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.440 respect and dignity. And that is true. And if you go look at 230 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.880 literally anything this woman posts, it's some of the most racist garbage you've ever 231 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:37.920 seen. They have a nickname for her that involves the C word. We'll 232 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:44.839 leave it at that, and that was her statement. And then after that 233 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:53.119 statement, then once again the grown adults were so taken them back that they 234 00:22:53.160 --> 00:23:00.480 started crying again, and then they had to have another recess over the issue. 235 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.839 Let's see, all right, So here's the public radio article. I 236 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:10.079 don't think it's fair that is used as an excuse almost for misgendering. Someone 237 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:18.000 said another Democrat, I don't know what are oh okay? So she's Majority 238 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.920 Leader Lynn Stevens, who was among the two who were so emotionally distraught, 239 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.720 and apparently others, but the two in the article that they were unable to 240 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:40.079 continue to conduct business. These are the representatives of the people who were rendered 241 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:47.000 unable to conduct the people's business. Over somebody who is trying to talk to 242 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:52.319 six different people. It looks like read something and appear to be responding based 243 00:23:52.359 --> 00:24:04.359 on the voice, which sounds like it. The voice sounds like a guy 244 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:08.480 in that moment. I don't know if that is the totality of it. 245 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:14.559 Here we go. Rome was the first transgender member of the House when she 246 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.839 was first elected in twenty seventeen. This from WVTF, Virginia Public Radio, 247 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:26.440 and this year she became the first transgender senator. Earl Sears of Virginia's first 248 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:33.000 black woman lieutenant governor. I don't know the full history there one word, 249 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:40.359 one word, and they couldn't conduct business anymore. And these are adults. 250 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.920 This is a room full of adults, and I'm sure that that will be 251 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:52.200 campaign ads or something along those lines. Yeah. I don't know why she 252 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:57.519 apologized frankly got I guess I do, But I don't know what she thought 253 00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:03.920 it would get her, because this is, uh, this is the issue 254 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:11.559 dejore. Now what is this? One of our Virginia listeners is like, 255 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.440 oh, yeah, no, it's even worse than that. Yeah, no, 256 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.319 no, no, I'm sure it is. I'm not as plugged in 257 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:25.200 to the Virginia legislature as some of our listeners across the across the border there. 258 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:32.359 But I look, we've had incidents in North Carolina. Oh what what? 259 00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:37.240 Oh? It was the nine remember the nine to eleven vote right where 260 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:45.480 the media literally ran stories that the Democrats were in what was it? Was 261 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.400 it HB two. I can't remember what they were voting. It was a 262 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:53.880 Republican issue and it literally was listed legally listed as potentially up for a vote, 263 00:25:55.319 --> 00:26:00.079 and they took a vote, and they took a vote. At the 264 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:04.440 time, there were several Democrats missing, so they were able to successfully vote 265 00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:11.279 on it, and you had this narrative that all of the North Carolina legislators 266 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:17.759 were at nine to eleven memorials and they just ran it because you had the 267 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.319 one woman senator who was screaming her head off about it, and the media 268 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:27.079 just ran that stuff. And then it turned out I think zero were at 269 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.839 nine to eleven memorials or something. Basically, they didn't read the sheet. 270 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.960 They didn't think because it had been a very long time. Now was that 271 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.119 intentional by republic Yes, absolutely, they sat there and they looked at the 272 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.960 head count and went, oh, let's go ahead and take this vote. 273 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:56.079 Now arguably a lesson that was ingrained in Republican lawmakers following the lottery vote, 274 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.480 right, because so, what was it? Some dude was at a wedding. 275 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.720 He was at his own wedding, right, one of our one lawmakers 276 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:08.759 at their own wedding, and somebody else wasn't there, and Bev Purdue and 277 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:15.160 and crew just ran that thing home. And it is not unknown to the 278 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:22.359 parties at the federal level or at the state level that if if enough of 279 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.440 their people don't show up, these are the results. Because the quorum rules 280 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:33.880 generally in most legislative bodies are two thirds and it doesn't matter who the other 281 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.960 third is. That's that's missing there. So yeah, so I don't know 282 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.519 if they're over their cry fast or how that's gonna work. They're demanding she 283 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:47.599 resigned, so I suspect that's not going to happen. Oh man, all 284 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:52.279 right, hold on here, Janet, what's up? Hey? How you 285 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.359 doing this morning? You know it's Tuesday, so whatever, but yeah, 286 00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:03.759 almost may hang in there anyway. I have no idea how we elected the 287 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.960 biggest tandency the country in Virginia. Are you up in Virginia, Janet? 288 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:15.440 I didn't realize that everything in North Carolina on my life. Oh okay, 289 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.319 well, hold on your phone. I know my work ethic, and I'm 290 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:25.839 not going to cry unless I'm bleeding severely or a body member is falling off. 291 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.160 Okay, how do you cry at work unless there's something severe going on? 292 00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:36.720 Well, I mean what you need is you need TV cameras and uh 293 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.759 public radio reporters dutifully they're no, you need you need your wavos to come 294 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.039 back. That's what you need. You need your wavos back. Well, 295 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.599 the science has solved that problem. Is you probably heard last week they can 296 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.440 grow those No, no, they they don't solve that problem, but that 297 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.680 actually exacerbated it. No, I think it's fair. I think that that's 298 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.680 I think whoever came up with the science, and I remember which university did, 299 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:07.039 I think they should probably show up with a booth or something. I've 300 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:08.960 got a couple of suggestions what they should do. If that's not one of 301 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.599 them, but we can go with that if you really want to. Well 302 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.480 we're on the radio, Janet, and that would be called evidence. So 303 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.920 you don't want to yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm 304 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:26.000 with I'm I'm with you. I look, I understand the feigned outrage and 305 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.240 the political side of it, but if when you have grown adults that are 306 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:37.640 literally in tears over that, and it is clearly for the cameras, it's 307 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:45.680 far more entertaining, right because they still accomplished. Yeah, look, look 308 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.839 at that. I was able to do a whole segment on it. So 309 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.920 yeah for us, okay, so love you all right, thank you, 310 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:59.119 Janet? Appreciate it? Yeah, yeah, no, pretty much. Ross 311 00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.480 you ever cried at work? I've never cried at work, So here have 312 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.960 been all teary eyed and somebody came in to mess with your board. I'm 313 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:08.680 trying to think of the small infractions that we deal with. I mean, 314 00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:15.480 I worked once after my father had passed away, and that's like the closest 315 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.880 I got to crying at work. I when my mom died. I was 316 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:25.119 on the air. My sister called and I finished the show and I actually 317 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.880 took grief for that from some of the listeners. They're like, what's wrong 318 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.680 with you? And I'm like, I it was. I refused to process 319 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.160 it right. I just went thank I taught my sister Lacey called me because 320 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:41.200 my mom, my mom had you know, cancer, she had very advanced 321 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.759 cancer, and she had was going around visiting everybody and she was literally at 322 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.200 my sister's house. She called me in the first hour of the show, 323 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:56.400 and something to my brain went that call didn't happen. Finished the show and 324 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.279 I talked to my program director after and it was like, he's like, 325 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.519 what are you doing? He looked at me like I had three heads. 326 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:10.799 But to the point, the next day was the far harder show, and 327 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.319 I didn't I wouldn't. I didn't do it. But that's when it all 328 00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:18.160 emotionally hit me. So for you, your dad, what it was the 329 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:23.920 day after. I honestly can't even remember. Wait a month, was it 330 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.519 a month ago or ten years ago? Yeah, exactly right, this morning. 331 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:33.200 But yeah. And it's like, I understand people have an emotional response 332 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.359 to what you you know, what you just mentioned, and people are going 333 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:42.160 to process it differently. I guess it's kind of my point, but it 334 00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:47.240 looks so fake watching this, and well, these are like, you know, 335 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:48.839 serious things we're talking about, like the passing of a loved one or 336 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:53.119 exactly. Another one I can think about is I had to do a broadcast 337 00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.920 a few days after nine to eleven and I had driven back because I was 338 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.359 at home from a birthday and new were you new Burn, Where were you? 339 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.839 No? Then I was in Omaha, so I had to drive all 340 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:06.359 the way back because the flights are canceled, and I drove all the way 341 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.480 back from Schenectady to Omaha, and I had to do a broadcast at night, 342 00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:13.640 and they were doing like a like a nine to eleven tribute type show 343 00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.000 to get money for the families and stuff like that. And it was tough. 344 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:21.000 Yeah, that was That was a tough broadcast. And and in the 345 00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:28.079 same sense, these are people who these are professionals and it doesn't matter the 346 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:32.000 gig. But in this case, these are professionals that deal with the media 347 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.599 right and know and and I reportedly know how to handle themselves. And this 348 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.079 happens. All right, we'll be back hang on ac Oda Radio program. 349 00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:47.000 I want to throw something out because I'm interested in what you think. And 350 00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:53.160 before I tell you exactly what it is, understand that from a business perspective, 351 00:32:54.079 --> 00:33:04.039 there's a couple things that are after and you've seen models where they have 352 00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:08.279 moved to it. The best example I could give you is Microsoft Office. 353 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:14.200 Right. Used to be you'd go, you'd buy a copy, you know'd 354 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:20.440 be whatever it is, twenty ten, twenty twelve, twenty twenty, all 355 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:25.000 the different iterations of it, and that's what you use. And then eventually 356 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:29.519 Microsoft would come along and they'd say, we're not going to be supporting this 357 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:34.640 model or this version anymore, and you'd have to figure out an upgrade. 358 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.920 And then it turned into a subscription model. And that's, you know, 359 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:47.079 from a business perspective, that's a lot more desirable, it's predictable, it's 360 00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:52.359 more profitable, and frankly, you can you know, you can make the 361 00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:57.079 upgrades as you go so in a way, you're kind of forcing the hand. 362 00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.240 And if you ever have to raise the price, you could still make 363 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:05.960 the argument you're giving them the very latest, okay, and there's a there's 364 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.280 a different pricing thing. And and frankly in the in the computer section, 365 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:16.440 software even hardware to then to that extent, your phone through your cellular provider. 366 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:22.400 This is where all of these businesses want to be because they got you, 367 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:30.840 and so you see those rollouts. Another iteration is surge pricing. And 368 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:36.039 the best example of surge pricing is uber or lyft. Right, So if 369 00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.960 it's doing the afternoon on a regular old Tuesday today, right, and you 370 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.719 want to take an uber from point A to point B, chances are you're 371 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:50.800 going to pay whatever the minimum rate is. But if it's Halloween, New 372 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:58.320 Year's eve eves, you've seen what happens there, So how would you feel? 373 00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:00.719 Going back to the second one, arguably it's it's kind of the most 374 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:07.880 immediate version of capitalism in a way. This right, you know, it's 375 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:12.719 instant supply and demand. How would you feel if that? Because it really 376 00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:16.920 hasn't been expanded that much. I'm trying to think of other examples of surge 377 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:21.760 price ross. Can you think of anything where they fluctuate the price based on 378 00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:27.639 demand other I guess maybe tickets for concerts or sporting events maybe, but it's 379 00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.840 not a pure system. I don't know of anyone else who does surge pricing 380 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:38.519 on the regular then, like uber lyft and like ticketmaster, but this is 381 00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:45.559 this is something else. So Wendy's. By the way, can we agree 382 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:52.679 that Wendy's has the best fast food burger just at the start? I think 383 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:57.639 that's abundantly clear, right. It's of the you know, the major fat 384 00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:01.079 you know, burger King McDonald's. I'm trying to think of some others that 385 00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.519 d burger, but Wendy's is superior. And it's not just the square shape. 386 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:14.639 That's a fact, don't argue. Wendy's announced yesterday They're CEO Kirk Tanner. 387 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.440 They're in a call with investors, said that the Ohio based fast food 388 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:27.000 company is investing twenty million dollars on high tech menu boards. So if you 389 00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:30.880 go into the Wendy's, gone will be the you know, the I guess, 390 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:36.440 the fixed boards and instead you'll get the digital boards. And that's important 391 00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:45.519 because that will allow the company to surge price meals. So if you go 392 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:51.840 to Wendy's today at like twelve thirty in the middle of lunch rush under this 393 00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.320 system, and it's unclear how this says. They're launching it, not with 394 00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:59.800 all the stores, but eventually want to get there, so I don't know 395 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:06.400 how that impacts in North Carolina. But if you go in at twelve thirty, 396 00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:09.239 and let's say the meal is seven bucks, right, although it's not, 397 00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:13.800 It's like, but did I pay it Wendy's last time? I remember 398 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:15.480 it was? I remember I had a ten dollars bill in my hand and 399 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:20.079 I thought I'd be fine, and I had to dig for change. Let's 400 00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:24.039 just say it's ten bucks nine ninety nine whatever you order during lunch. It 401 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.440 might be twelve, however, and I'll believe it when I see it. 402 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:36.960 It also will allow perhaps a lesser price during times when most people don't come 403 00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:43.320 in there, So I get the argument is if you want to go to 404 00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:46.239 Wendy's and you want to go during the madness of lunch rush, you're going 405 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:50.000 to pay a little more. If you want to go during off times, 406 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:55.679 you may actually say versus current prices. Again, I'll believe that when I 407 00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:01.480 see it. Because I suspect that just leave the minimum at whatever it is 408 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.480 and it'll just be the surge and that's what they want to do. And 409 00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.440 then they'll use the new digital boards to essentially run an algorithm. I don't 410 00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:15.400 know if it'll be the Google Gemini AI picking it out, but they'll figure 411 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.519 out I guess based on the number of tickets they're doing that they if they 412 00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:24.280 need to raise the price. So my question is does that make sense to 413 00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:29.280 you? And I guess could you use that to your advantage to go during 414 00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:32.440 off times and maybe save a little money or do you think people are going 415 00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:37.559 to lose their damn minds because I kind of feel like it's going to be 416 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:42.559 the second one, ironically, even for people who might benefit because they eat 417 00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.559 at non traditional times, like with the schedule. Ross and I have, 418 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:51.079 like we do traffic reports. I can't I couldn't tell you the last time 419 00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.800 I was stuck in traffic, right because we're here, we're you know, 420 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:57.519 we're doing the show, all of that. And if I go to a 421 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:04.039 fast food joint because I I try not to eat late in the evening just 422 00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.519 you know, just from you shouldn't eat and go right to bed. In 423 00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:13.159 some evenings, that's what I want to do. So I tend to eat 424 00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:19.440 like ten thirty and then like three thirty or four, and then I'll snack 425 00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:23.079 on stuff during the show. But so like I'm in the wind there. 426 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.039 But for a lot of people, you know, nine to five, you 427 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:32.400 got that one hour off probably the hour. What everyone else does you down 428 00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:36.159 with that? And I guess, Look, Wendy's could do whatever they want, 429 00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:40.079 but I'm just curious what the pushback will be there. So I'll throw 430 00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:43.039 it out. You want a way in? Go ahead? Eight eight eight 431 00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:46.559 excuse me, a little hiccup there, eight eight eight nine three four seven 432 00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:53.880 eight seven four. Here we go. Wendy's burgers are amazing, but cook 433 00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.480 Out may I don't. Here's the deal. I'm not counting cook I understand 434 00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:01.519 the Cookout is. I'm talking the big national brand. Yeah, you could. 435 00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:06.000 You might be able to drag me over on the uh on the cookout, 436 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.719 but you know, from anywhere you go kind of standpoint. I go 437 00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:14.840 with Wendy's. That's just me. So all right, so you're waiting on 438 00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.920 that, Let me grab a call Jamal. What's up, hey, Casee? 439 00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:23.199 What's going on? You know what Chasey. The tragic thing about this 440 00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:30.079 Lake and Riley being murdered in Georgia, it's this, this is not the 441 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:36.719 first time that we've had a young white girl college students murdered binding legal immigrants. 442 00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:43.239 Of course, you remember tape the girl in San Francisco her Now you 443 00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:47.480 had the girl that was an hour she was murdered by illegal immigrant thrown in 444 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:53.239 the cornfield. Didn't you have the other girl up in New York and now 445 00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:57.920 this And it's like Chase and I said this, if this has been a 446 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:05.440 black girl been murdered repeatedly by people or illegal immigrants, well even let's say 447 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:07.760 some white person, like they try to paint black women are in danger. 448 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.639 Black women are in danger all the news media while black women in danger. 449 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:16.119 Of black women in danger, nobody says that when of course I'm not talking 450 00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:20.320 about the one in Memphis, Tennessee. Where was the black dude. They 451 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.039 was like, oh, somebody snatched her untilled the then where they found out 452 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:28.199 was the black dude with the extens of racking in Memphis, Tennessee. That 453 00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:34.159 story just went away. And it's like that they're very busy, the reporters. 454 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.079 They can't cover everything. Jamal Come on, man, well you know 455 00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:44.760 what KC. I like this? Yeah, how much longer if a woman's 456 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:50.519 being murdered Americans being murdered by illegal immigrants. This is the anger Republicans have, 457 00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.639 like myself. We watch what's going on with Donald Trump. It's happened 458 00:41:53.679 --> 00:42:00.199 in Georgia. Tell me why Brian Camp haven't had the atturn General, have 459 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:06.119 that city council, who legal immigration, who will released them? Because when 460 00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.480 he went down to Athens, Georgia, he committed another clime and they released 461 00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:13.360 them as well. See that's the one king people forget. He went down 462 00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:19.880 there to Athens and did some They released them now supposed to. Here's the 463 00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:22.639 deal. And I understand why people got beef with Kemp, But what's the 464 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:25.800 government. How's the governor going to tell the Athens City council how to run 465 00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:30.320 their police force? Like you know what, casey, I'm gonna tell you 466 00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:36.599 how. It's a thing called accessory. Before the fact that attorney general, 467 00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:42.400 that governor Kemp like he ordered over the a von Albury case when he felt 468 00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:46.519 it won't write. He ordered the Attorney General to investigate the Albury case. 469 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:52.239 He can order the Attorney General of Georgia to investigate acts. If their policy 470 00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:57.960 led to this girl's death, he could charge each one of them with acessory 471 00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:02.880 before the fact, because if they hadn't, I'm curious to see what the 472 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.480 I remember his hands were tied on the charging of that police officer speaking of 473 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:14.199 Wendy's in the Wendy's parking lot. So, but what I've learned in Georgia 474 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.079 is apparently you can charge and do whatever you want, even if you're a 475 00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:22.400 sleepy we care so yeah, so you can stack the cash like you a 476 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:27.880 drug dealer, right, you know the drug dealer boyfriends you date like you 477 00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:31.719 were known to date. Now, remember when President Trump talked about a woman, 478 00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:36.519 a certain district attorney who when she was a lawyer, dating a right 479 00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:40.360 drug dealer and got one of them killed and the other one locked away for 480 00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:45.400 life. Now we hear her. Stand. So, Georgia has a president 481 00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.719 where you could charge somebody for some if you believe it to be so. 482 00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:57.840 So tell me why Republican states with republic attorney generals aren't making examples out of 483 00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:04.079 these sanctuary cities Democrats and have sanctuary city. Will tell me why Republicans architect 484 00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:07.119 and white women because any time you turn around, okasey, that's stead a 485 00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:13.079 true. It's a white woman being snatched up by some legal immigrants or minority 486 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:15.920 and nobody saying anything but if white folk, but if white men, let's 487 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:21.800 go the handling thing like they used to. Right. But that's not that's 488 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:25.440 not true. The person saying something is this idiot lawmaker who's like, god, 489 00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:30.519 there's no connection. What do you So, yes, it's actually more 490 00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.360 egregious than you're putting out. And I don't disagree with you. Use whatever 491 00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.840 remedies you have, or get creative, like, hey, let's send people 492 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:43.280 to Martha's vineyard, right, So I hear you seven forty Oh crap, 493 00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:45.760 raced agic, So sorry, sir, so sorry, no worries with oh 494 00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:51.119 man idiot is one of those mornings. But yeah, it's gonna be a 495 00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:53.599 nice day, so yeah, let's go with that. Yeah. Yeah. 496 00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:57.559 Warm, maybe not quite as warm as yesterday by a few degrees, but 497 00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.960 still the mid upper sixties across the area, hampered by maybe a few sprinkles 498 00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:05.559 of rain this morning, especially around the Triad. More showers to the west 499 00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:08.760 on radar are going through Knoxville heading toward Ashville. Greenville. All the Ville's, 500 00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:13.079 Huntsville, Cartersville, and Georgia. That's all coming this way for the 501 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:16.119 afternoon. So a little different for the commute. Slight chance of showers tonight 502 00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:20.800 and tomorrow than the cold fort to come through load of mid seventies tomorrow. 503 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:22.559 By Thursday, we're only in the load of mid fifties with the loads at 504 00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:25.360 night down you're freezing once again by Friday morning, but we're quickly going to 505 00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.239 warm up again ere seventy over the upcoming weekend. Okay, well, look, 506 00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:32.559 man, just you're headed in the right direction. Let's not not screw 507 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:36.239 anything up. By the way, ye springs almost here. Yeah, got 508 00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:43.800 what's wrong with Clemson's basketball team? Well, I mean they're hoting cold? 509 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.119 The man poke the I mean, yeah, I know they can be more 510 00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:52.320 consistent. Yeah, does Clemson recover if they don't move from the ACC to 511 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:54.760 the SEC. I saw some of the recruiting stuff, so like, uh, 512 00:45:55.159 --> 00:46:00.360 what a mess? Sorry, throw that out for you. I'll let 513 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:02.079 you ponder. We'll check on it here in an hour, thank you. 514 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:06.199 All right, all right, we'll come back to your phone calls next. 515 00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:10.000 Hang on. We were just talking last week about storage units, and I 516 00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:14.039 don't remember the story that prompted it. But like you know where they go 517 00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:15.880 on the TV show and they buy him and it's totally rigged and all that. 518 00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:19.880 However, because you know, there's not a van go in every one 519 00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:23.280 of these. However, there's an amazing story which I'll share with you in 520 00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:30.159 the next hour, and it's sometimes you do find a gym, but let 521 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:36.280 me grab calls first. Anthony, you're up first, what's up? Yeah, 522 00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:37.880 I didn't want to follow Jamal talking about all this serious stuff he's talking 523 00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:42.039 about. You tried to bring it back with that Wendy's shooting in Atlanta. 524 00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.960 But I worked as in high school when it was a singer with cheese was 525 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:49.280 three dollars and thirty eight cents, so that's tax included. And I'm I'm 526 00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:55.679 your age long. Yeah I will. Yeah. People are sending me emails 527 00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:59.719 like, goh, Wendy's is super Yeah, I'm not. I'm not they 528 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:06.719 they are. They are expensive compared to others. That being said, not 529 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:10.440 much, really, I mean, yeah, everywhere is hot. Yeah. 530 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:14.960 Well, Ross was telling me he picked up Wendy's for the family recently and 531 00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:16.760 it was like thirty bucks, which checks. Like I said, I paid 532 00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:21.599 ten dollars. I think that was for a double meal which I went to. 533 00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:23.719 I went to a place called way Back the other day. Yeah, 534 00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:28.199 just two days, get me and my daughter, just just me and my 535 00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:31.280 daughter, and it was twenty eight dollars that way back. Is that the 536 00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:37.599 one up by five forty in Capital or No? This heritage? Oh heritage, 537 00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:42.079 Okay, maybe they got multiple ones. Yeah they got good if it's 538 00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.239 the one they got hot dogs? Oh okay, cool, cool, Yeah, 539 00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:46.280 they got good hot dogs. That's what I'm thinking of. So, 540 00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:52.239 yeah, it is it's pricey, man. I appreciate the call their anthony. 541 00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:57.760 Yeah, it's already expensive, although maybe not. And then people are 542 00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:00.679 telling me, you know, this is the it's the consistency of pricing that 543 00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:05.960 brings people in. But I would argue that every look you eat at a 544 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:12.400 McDonald's or a Wendy's in the airport, talk to me. But I ate 545 00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:19.239 at McDonald's at the airport in or in Orlando when I was laid over there 546 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.280 one time, and I don't generally, I don't generally do the fast food 547 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.639 in there, but I remember looking at that many going oh my gosh, 548 00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:30.320 and you get on like some of the through ways, and you know some 549 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:32.280 of the roadside, the pull off ones, those are super expensive. So 550 00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:37.360 it exists. The larger issue, especially in the realm of fast food is 551 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:46.239 and it was exacerbated by COVID is like a new upper echelon of horror stories 552 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:51.559 right where a lot you know, you can you can chalk some of it 553 00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:54.960 up to just not having the staffing numbers because you know, the struggle, 554 00:48:55.480 --> 00:49:00.400 which is getting better, but the struggle that a lot of minimum way jobs 555 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:04.599 are going to find themselves. But now we're talking about the McDonald's near the 556 00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:13.320 station, Like I've seen some straight up weird stuff there. So this guy's 557 00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:16.000 Wendy's are full of meth heads and then they run out of Hamburger. Who 558 00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:22.719 was I didn't was it was it KF seat remember KFC? Didn't they run 559 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:27.800 out of chicken or something like at a bunch of locations and that was that 560 00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:30.360 was right around the COVID, Like, yeah, I think it was Popeyes? 561 00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.920 Was it Popeyes? Well that was with the that was with that sandwich 562 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:38.119 right where everyone was like beating each other like somebody shot somebody over that damn 563 00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:43.119 sandwich. But but I thought they were straight up, like all out of 564 00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.880 chicken. Was it Popeyes? It was a place that is a chicken place, 565 00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:51.440 And I don't know how that works, right, Like, if you 566 00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:54.119 got one job is whoever handles the inventory. I feel like it's going to 567 00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:58.239 be chicken in that setting. I mean there's just certain places now we won't 568 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:00.639 go because I know the services going to be so bad. Yes, and 569 00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:04.719 when you factor that into the end of the cost of it, it's like, 570 00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:06.800 well, I'm just gonna go somewhere else or just pick up food at 571 00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:08.800 the grocery store or whatever. But I understand sometimes you're in a hurry and 572 00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:10.920 you can't do that. But yeah, there's some places we just won't go 573 00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.880 anymore because they get pissed off. One the order is always wrong. There's 574 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.840 always gonna be something wrong with the order, right, yeah, on top 575 00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.039 top of this, So when you go and then you try to correct the 576 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:24.159 situation, sometimes the service is so bad they get angry at you. Like 577 00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:27.599 I've made the joke about them spitting in the food. I just assume at 578 00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.559 this point it's all on purpose, because it's so bad. There's no way 579 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:32.280 service could be this bad and not be on purpose. And you go into 580 00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:36.519 these places or you look through the window and you can tell these people do 581 00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:38.480 not want to be there. They do not want to be there, and 582 00:50:38.519 --> 00:50:43.400 they don't care if your order is right. There's no They're just there for 583 00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:45.519 their check and they're there to leave. That's what it seems like anyway, 584 00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:50.559 and probably a lot harder to get fired, right because there's no one to 585 00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:52.599 replace them. That's that's exactly what it is, right because these are the 586 00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:55.679 people now that are going to take the jobs because the good workers from before 587 00:50:55.960 --> 00:51:01.559 don't even want to bother. You know what, we need rampant illegal immigration 588 00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:07.440 that'll solve the problem. That's literally, I mean, that's literally the the 589 00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:10.480 an argument that you'll hear, well, who was it? Who was it 590 00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:14.760 on the View? Didn't somebody on the View or not the View? Whatever? 591 00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:16.719 The View knockoff show is, Oh it's Kelly Osbourne? Right? You 592 00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:21.400 remember that statement where she's like she's trying to scold Trump and she's like, 593 00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:25.400 who's going to clean your houses now? And everyone looks at her like, 594 00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.280 oh my gosh, what did you just say? Yeah, it was Kelly 595 00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:36.000 Osborn on the View knockoff thing? Yeah, all right, but here's the 596 00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:38.679 thing I would rather have, like you know, an illegal immigrant who doesn't 597 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:43.239 speak English working at the McDonald's if they care, like if they showed they 598 00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:45.480 are working at whatever the rest, if they care, just put some effort 599 00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:49.639 into getting it right and caring, because you could tell when somebody cares about 600 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:51.679 their job. And when you go in there and you're like, hey, 601 00:51:51.719 --> 00:51:53.400 I ordered this and you gave me that, and they look at you like 602 00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:55.880 they want you dead, and they're like, fine, let me go back 603 00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.880 and we'll spin your food or whatever now out bad orders. Well, I'm 604 00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:01.840 not coming back here any but thank you for it. I'm not going to 605 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:06.239 spend the thirty dollars in the two meals here anymore. It's I think I 606 00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:08.800 think you kind of like piece it out. Like I mentioned the problem at 607 00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:14.599 that one McDonald's, So like if I will go to the one on south 608 00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:22.719 of the belt line on uh wake Forest and and like that one is night 609 00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:23.960 and day, so I think you kind of I'll tell you what's really I'll 610 00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:28.599 tell you what's really good is the Bojangles around the corner from that. I 611 00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:30.519 was just about to say a certain mornings though, right it's the opposite, 612 00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:35.239 So lay Bojangles. It's always amazing, especially in the morning there in wake 613 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.000 Forest. Chick fil A obviously great service all the time. Yeah, there's 614 00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:42.599 certain places you'll go just because you know, a the there's a less chance 615 00:52:42.679 --> 00:52:45.400 the order will be wrong, plus the service will be great. Yeah, 616 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:49.039 yeah a hundred. Well, you know, and this speaks to my uh 617 00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:53.119 uh this program that I've tried to get implemented for years, which is uh 618 00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:59.679 a swap, right, So for every person who wants to come to this 619 00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:04.440 kind of tree and work their butt off and and you know, provide for 620 00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:10.320 their family, we swap one idiot, so like we maintain the what what 621 00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:15.039 come on, dude, that's a brilliant program, right, and then you 622 00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:17.519 and I are of the list. So we're moving you off the drive through 623 00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:22.000 window. Now you're gonna be upset. Now the good news is you're getting 624 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:24.639 a free trip to Venezuela. It's very nice this time of the year, 625 00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:29.719 I hear. I don't know, but yeah, I've said them that far. 626 00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:32.719 Just here you go. You live in the Chihuahua. Now right, 627 00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:37.719 how'd you like to go to can Kun forever? Right? Boom, there 628 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:40.719 you go. They'll get on the plane. You know what I'm saying, 629 00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:44.199 Like, oh, what a free trip to Caddoe's. So nice there. 630 00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:47.719 Yeah, it's uh, and you know this goes for politicians, general, 631 00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:53.159 useless people, college professors. I think is why I was initially interested in 632 00:53:53.199 --> 00:54:00.599 this program because again going back to like I've said this before, I understand 633 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:06.440 why somebody in Guatemala, you know it, wants to come to the US 634 00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:08.880 and is you know, being told that this is the process, that's what 635 00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:15.679 you do, because the alternative is being among the poorest people in Guatemala, 636 00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:20.760 which is rife with corruption and criminal Like I get it. So like, 637 00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:23.239 if you pass whatever the screening is, we'll swap you for one idiot. 638 00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:29.679 I'm I'm, I'm fine with that. And the the caveat is Ross and 639 00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:35.039 I make the list of idiots, so and you can't put me on it, 640 00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:37.760 by the way either, Ross. So there you go. All right, 641 00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:42.119 let me grab a couple of calls here. All right, I'll tell 642 00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:44.559 I knew that fast food thing was going to catch if you don't know what 643 00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:51.000 this is. So yesterday Wendy's, uh Wendy's announced a surge pricing plan that 644 00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:54.199 they're gonna start rolling out. Basically, they're gonna get digital menus, you 645 00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:58.800 know, digital boards in there, and if it's a busy time of the 646 00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:01.079 year, the price goes up. For a time of the day, price 647 00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:06.800 goes up. If it's not, he kind of skirts around the issue, 648 00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:10.440 it goes down. And I don't know if that means level or perhaps even 649 00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:15.519 a little cheaper if you go in during slow times, which is not a 650 00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:19.360 new business thing, right. There's a lot of food places that will have 651 00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:23.599 specials, especially ones that are really core focused, like morning rush or whatever, 652 00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:30.920 where there is discounted food opportunities at off times of the day. So, 653 00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:36.599 but you know, a national brand rolling it out, that's kind of 654 00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:38.119 a that's kind of a new thing. All right, to the phones, 655 00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:44.360 here we go, and we start with Ramona, good morning. What's up? 656 00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:52.239 Hello? Hello, Yes, good morning morning. What do you want 657 00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:57.440 to want to add to this conversation? Are you talking to Ramona? I 658 00:55:57.599 --> 00:56:00.480 think so? Is this Ramona? Okay? No, I couldn't tell because 659 00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:04.880 the radio is on in the background. But no, I just wanted to 660 00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:08.559 say that Hardy's has a very good burger. I don't know Wendy so much. 661 00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:14.320 My husband gets Wendy's and we're going there and get a potato or a 662 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:17.119 drink. We were for a drink the last time we were in Winston. 663 00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:23.119 We're a walled at cove and we love our Hearty's and they have Angus Burgers. 664 00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:28.840 But now some are saying, I'm marring the talk that they're going away 665 00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:36.440 because we've just had a Dunnald's open across the street on the north end of 666 00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:42.719 town, which is one of the business centers north and south end of town 667 00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:47.960 and in the middle of town. Yes and no, it's kind of crazy. 668 00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:54.239 I've been watching it. They complained. Some people in Hardy's complain that 669 00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:59.679 they have taken away their business. I don't honestly know, because they didn't 670 00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:05.960 have genuway to begin with. Their service has been very poor and for Walnut 671 00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:09.440 COVID they can't find workers. Now it's starting to change a little bit, 672 00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:19.199 and I'm rooting for them because I don't really like McDonald's. I don't if 673 00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:22.760 I had to change, I'm I'm. Here's the thing with Hardy's. I 674 00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:28.119 grew it was Hardy's was the only fast food restaurant for years that we had 675 00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:32.480 in my little town in Wyoming. So I have an infinity, but like 676 00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:37.559 they don't. They don't generally have Hardy's in city centers, which you know, 677 00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:40.800 it's kind of their model is more a little out so I don't get 678 00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:44.599 to eat there as much as i'd like. So I agree with you. 679 00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:46.880 All Right, Well, the uh we'll be uh, we'll be watching the 680 00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:52.639 Stokes County McDonald's v. Hardy's. Walnut Cove, Well, no, this 681 00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:57.280 is Walnut Cove. This is walle Cove. And I will say I'm gonna 682 00:57:57.320 --> 00:58:04.119 plug for Walnut Cove because we are growing and I've heard there's talk about maybe 683 00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:07.519 another fast food place coming to Walnut Cove, but I can't say what it 684 00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:15.039 is because I've been sworn to secrecy as somebody, as somebody who grew up 685 00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:19.400 in a in a small town. Uh roughly about twice the size of Walnut 686 00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:22.519 Cove. What do you guys have like fifteen hundred people up there? Yeah? 687 00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:25.559 Like two thousand? Oh is it? Yeah? But like a new 688 00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:30.400 fast food restaurant, a new fast food restaurant opening was like it was I 689 00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.320 seem to remember that was the highlight of my high school career. We got 690 00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:39.280 a new fast They had a huge roll out McDonald's. It was huge. 691 00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:44.800 It was like two three weeks ago. But now the lines are down the 692 00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:49.039 numbers are down. The parking lots is not full, full full because they 693 00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:52.679 don't have good service. Have they been up? You cheated? You cheated 694 00:58:52.719 --> 00:59:00.800 one? Yeah, well I wanted to scope out the anime territories. I 695 00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:02.480 see. All right, We'll let you get back to your spycraft. Thank 696 00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:07.119 you so much for the call. Yeah, you live in a small town 697 00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.639 and some fast food chain opens up. In our case, it was McDonald's. 698 00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:14.679 We had the Heartys. What did they have? They did have a 699 00:59:14.800 --> 00:59:17.400 subway, We had a subway, but that was it. And then the 700 00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:23.159 McDonald's opened like my junior year, and it was like it was it was 701 00:59:23.320 --> 00:59:29.199 like Pearl Harbor man. I mean just it was for weeks and weeks the 702 00:59:29.320 --> 00:59:34.639 reporting on it was crazy. And and then the day it opened, like 703 00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:37.159 the whole town showed up and I'm like, we need more to do. 704 00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:42.000 But yeah, that was. That was a big deal. All right, 705 00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:46.000 let me grab this, James, go right ahead. What's up? Hey, 706 00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:52.679 good morning morning, I'm good. Hey listen, you know, you 707 00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:59.639 know your small town has made it when you get a Walmart. Oh that 708 00:59:59.880 --> 01:00:01.719 was that was shared in that was forty five minutes away. That would never 709 01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:07.239 happen about Yeah, you're right there. You well listen, uh, you 710 01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:09.800 know, I didn't even know, you know, I actually had to look 711 01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:15.960 it up Windy's. You know, they do have an app. And so 712 01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:19.920 to me, that's the only way that this plan could work, right is 713 01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:22.719 you know, uh because when you look at you mentioned you weren't sure a 714 01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:28.039 couple of some of the other industries hotel industry, right, they there pricing 715 01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:34.360 and but all those, all those different aspects, it's all you have to 716 01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.840 book, right, you have to go somewhere and book something prior to So 717 01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.320 I bet you that you know that this is only going to work where you 718 01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:44.840 can go on the app and say like, hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna 719 01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:47.199 you know, I'm gonna choose my sandwich, and then from there it's, 720 01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:51.199 uh, it's going to be you know, at this price, I locked 721 01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:53.239 it in, right, there's you know other than that, I mean, 722 01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:59.400 yeah, how from a distractionary standpoint, Frankly, if I was the marketing 723 01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:01.800 people, I've that's that is one of the ways in which I'd hope to 724 01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:07.480 uh counter some of the pushback because they love pushing the app for stuff. 725 01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:09.480 I don't have any of the apps, but they have deals all the time 726 01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:13.760 on those things. So yeah, you're probably right, sir, Ye, 727 01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:16.880 okay, I don't know that. To the other well, to the other 728 01:01:16.960 --> 01:01:22.800 point, I think the breakfast was probably a flop, so they're you know, 729 01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:24.800 I have a feeling that they're trying to do everything they can to make 730 01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:30.039 this. I like, I like their burrito more than McDonald's. I'll be 731 01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:34.599 yeah, they had a better breakfast burrito, which isn't saying much. They're 732 01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:37.519 both not great, but yeah, but yeah, other than that, I 733 01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:40.800 don't know that I ever ordered anything or saw anybody there when I got breakfast, 734 01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:45.519 So you're probably they got to do something. And they're talking and thanks 735 01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:50.840 for the call. They're talking to investors, and you know that's they they 736 01:01:50.920 --> 01:01:52.920 got it. They got to have a plan when they get in front of 737 01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:55.480 them, especially if numbers are down, which apparently they were. So uh 738 01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:01.000 BJ, go right ahead, good morning, case. I just want to 739 01:02:01.079 --> 01:02:06.400 jump in on the discussion about Wendy's and whatnot. I'm with you on Wendy. 740 01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:09.000 I'm went you on Wendy's even better than most other regular like Burgers. 741 01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:14.199 Was loved bag Nator, But I wanted to talk about we were talking about 742 01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:19.039 how the service went down and the prices went up. My my first job 743 01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:22.559 back in twenty twelve was working at a subway and I worked there for two 744 01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:24.400 and a half years. And back then we still had five dollars foot lungs 745 01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:30.000 and I was there whenever I was there, whenever that went away, and 746 01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:31.400 I just do all just remember, like, man, that's like that's been 747 01:02:31.440 --> 01:02:35.280 that was subway's thing forever, you know, And like now you go get 748 01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:38.199 a six inches to five dollars about to drink or anything, and I think 749 01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:43.559 y'all mentioned it's it's ridiculous, I mean, and that's not even adding anything 750 01:02:43.599 --> 01:02:47.480 extra to the dank sandwiches. But like you're mentioned Bojangles that switch gears from 751 01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:51.920 Burgers here for a second. But like I love Bojangles, And when I, 752 01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:53.239 well, I guess, I was like what I did. We didn't 753 01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:55.079 go to bow Jangles a lot when I was younger, but when I when 754 01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:59.599 I, I guess, discovered it my late teens early twenties and started going, 755 01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:00.800 I was like, man, this place is awesome. But like I 756 01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:04.599 was, sometimes I'll go and get a sweet a sweet tea or something, 757 01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:07.960 but the dagoum drinks are like two and a half dollars for sweet tea. 758 01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:13.920 They used to be like one oh nine. And the quality of service at 759 01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:15.519 like any of these fast food places, it's it's hit or miss. I 760 01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:20.480 mean, it's like you said, like thirty dollars for two or three people. 761 01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:22.960 No, I mean, And so we were kind of talking about, 762 01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:27.360 like you kind of scope out and remember where you get good experience, even 763 01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:30.760 if it's you know, literally the same restaurant being in a chain. But 764 01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:35.039 yeah, no, it's there's like two or three places in the morning if 765 01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:38.360 I'm gonna grab breakfast like pre show or right right before because they open at 766 01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:43.719 five thirty, but it's right around the corner from the station. But when 767 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:47.559 your time is valuable, like I wouldn't, I wouldn't contemplate going anywhere but 768 01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:53.639 either the Viscuitville or the Bojangles or the the other McDonald's because to your point, 769 01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:57.519 the service, like I could be there for twenty minutes, I don't 770 01:03:57.519 --> 01:03:59.280 know, and I don't have that kind of time in the morning, So 771 01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:03.320 it it's ridiculous. I've been to I'm not kidding. Someone mentioned a waffle 772 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:05.920 house second ago, but like I kid you not, I've been to a 773 01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:10.679 waffle house, sat down, got my order in my food at a waffle 774 01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:14.760 house quicker than I've gotten it standing inside at a McDonald's in the morning. 775 01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:16.840 Because they're focusing on the drive there, which is which is ridiculous. But 776 01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:20.960 as far as the drive who is concerned, it's pretty much anywhere with the 777 01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.440 exception, like you said, a couple places stoked out. I'm to the 778 01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:27.159 point now where like sorry for the people behind me, but I'm making sure 779 01:04:27.239 --> 01:04:30.480 my orders right before I moved, because it's like these people wanting fifteen sixteen 780 01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:33.599 bucks an hour and can't remember a pack of a catchup is absolutely ridiculous. 781 01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:38.000 I go there's a couple of places I'll go in. I'll park and go 782 01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:43.320 in to eliminate the screw around factor. Biscuit King is a good example in 783 01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:47.719 high Point there. I literally I like the food, but I'll always go 784 01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:50.760 in just to make sure everything's going to be cope, pathetic, and I 785 01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:54.480 you know, I really thanks for the call. I think that's what people 786 01:04:55.079 --> 01:04:57.960 You know, that's where people are going to fight value there, and it 787 01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:01.159 may even override their objection to the prece model. We'll see. I don't 788 01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:03.639 know, but I do know we got to take a break. More to 789 01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:09.480 come. Casey O Day Radio program. We got a cancelation. Get to 790 01:05:09.599 --> 01:05:15.360 that here in just a moment. That's where our intellectual betters tell us things 791 01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:18.360 that just gots to go. And this one's a doozy by the way, 792 01:05:18.519 --> 01:05:25.800 so don't miss that. But I mentioned the football player, So let me 793 01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:30.639 jump over to this real quick. Mazie Smith Mozzi smyth Ando to pronounce his 794 01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:34.400 name. He plays for the Cowboys. Oh we can bust Race chops on 795 01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:39.840 this plays for the Cowboys. He's a tackle. Went to the University of 796 01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:45.840 Michigan and this is important first round draft pick two. So yeah, high 797 01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:55.159 profile dude. And as he was finishing his college career and making that transition, 798 01:05:55.400 --> 01:06:02.360 like it was known, people are, Dude, I have an absolute 799 01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:06.000 russ I'm gonna have to send I have an absolute map of every horrible fast 800 01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:14.599 food place for like nine counties. Now everyone's got beef. That's crazy because 801 01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:16.480 I got people send me this one's bad and then other's good. All right, 802 01:06:16.519 --> 01:06:20.320 don't distract me. I gotta do this. So as he's making that 803 01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:25.440 transition, everyone knows this dude's you know you're gonna go first round, maybe 804 01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:31.199 second but first round probably, and once you have declared for the draft, 805 01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:36.840 that's when everything starts happening, although now with name, image, likeness thing, 806 01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:44.559 it's a little different. But so what happens is he's done, he's 807 01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:49.360 he's not under NCAA rules, he's got an agent, and everybody under the 808 01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:56.360 sun starts sending him stuff. So you know, all athletic equipment, clothing, 809 01:06:56.559 --> 01:07:02.840 shoes, you name it. And this apparently it's a lot, so 810 01:07:03.079 --> 01:07:10.719 much so that the former first round pick got himself a storage locker up in 811 01:07:11.159 --> 01:07:15.519 Michigan and just put all this crap in there. And you probably heard a 812 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:20.280 little about this story because of one thing that was found in there and then 813 01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:28.840 he he just left it. And a dude by the name of Vincent Broadway, 814 01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:31.760 who is one of these storage guys, right, he goes like the 815 01:07:31.800 --> 01:07:35.039 guy's on storage wars and buys them. And we were making fun of this 816 01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:39.039 last week because there's like, there's no way there's a van go and all 817 01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:42.519 of these they have to be seating these things, but every now and then 818 01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:47.320 there's this guy's So Broadway bought two storage units, one for three hundred dollars 819 01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:54.559 and another for this one for eighteen hundred dollars, the reason being that you 820 01:07:54.639 --> 01:08:00.400 could see a giant gun safe when you looked in there. They don't let 821 01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:01.679 him dig around, but he looked in there, they year a gun safe, 822 01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:04.079 and the bidding went up, but he paid eighteen hundred dollars, and 823 01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:10.400 you know what, that was a good investment. So what they found in 824 01:08:10.519 --> 01:08:15.039 there that got news made news here at the end of last week was a 825 01:08:15.319 --> 01:08:23.039 Michigan playbook, So the University of Michigan playbook. Obviously, you don't want 826 01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:26.199 those things floating around. People are making a big deal. But what's more 827 01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:31.640 fascinating about this is, according to Broadway, who then decided to make a 828 01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:42.319 series of tiktoks, he found roughly twenty thousand dollars worth of sneakers. Let's 829 01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:46.479 see here, Yeah, twenty thousand dollars worth of sneakers, including a bunch 830 01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:49.880 of Jordan's I don't know the sneaker price and it's out of control whatever, 831 01:08:50.880 --> 01:09:01.680 as well as Louis Vaton stuff twelve thousand dollars in sunglasses, and the list 832 01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:05.439 goes on from there. And so it was such a haul he put it 833 01:09:05.560 --> 01:09:09.119 up on TikTok and it went viral. They're like, oh my gosh, 834 01:09:09.199 --> 01:09:14.359 look at this this storage unit. That's how dude saw it. So somebody 835 01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:17.560 sends it to this guy and now he's threading to sue to get all his 836 01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:24.039 stuff back. But the law, it looks like in Michigan's pretty clear. 837 01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:26.640 And by the way, those are not Let me read this correctly, because 838 01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:31.199 now I see the inventory list, and that was twelve thousand in solid gold 839 01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:40.439 sunglasses. Is that a thing? Not gold colored sunglasses where the metallic parts 840 01:09:40.520 --> 01:09:44.800 are pure gold. Apparently he had and I don't know how many of that 841 01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:47.880 would be, but he had twelve thousand dollars worth. And this dude just 842 01:09:47.920 --> 01:09:54.239 making these TikTok videos, like, I get it. You're walking into your 843 01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:59.159 first round pick right, You're walking into fat stacks of cash. But still 844 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:04.239 it sounds like there's fifty K worth of stuff in this thing. Man and 845 01:10:04.359 --> 01:10:11.680 I again, but he's outraged. This is his agent. Smith was unaware 846 01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:15.880 that his personal belongings had been sold until he started receiving the TikTok videos from 847 01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:21.960 friends and colleagues of the man who purchased the storage unit and decided to use 848 01:10:23.039 --> 01:10:28.600 it to build his own credentials. I don't know how he thinks he's doing 849 01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:30.560 that, but yeah, no, I dude, just he paid eighteen hundred 850 01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:36.920 dollars and flipped it for what's probably fifty K. My client has been dealing 851 01:10:36.960 --> 01:10:42.239 with constant emotional district I think he's fine. He wants his possessions back. 852 01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:46.720 I've seen these dudes crack that amount of money at a bar, so I 853 01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:49.600 think he's going to be fine. I wonder what he even got. What 854 01:10:49.720 --> 01:10:54.479 his contract was worth? First round, middle first round. I mean he's 855 01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:59.319 defensive, but he was. He's a good player, as I understand. 856 01:11:01.119 --> 01:11:05.760 We get seven mil bonus. Yeah, he'll probably make twelve million office per 857 01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:10.760 Yeah, yeah, I think dude, just realize he got a lot more 858 01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:13.880 money. Doesn't care about the gold sunglasses, which I now know were a 859 01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.520 thing. So that's good. All right, let's get to the canceling here. 860 01:11:19.720 --> 01:11:23.760 So that's the taker bell for those of you knew to the show. 861 01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:29.560 Nah, undertaker right. A lot of wrestling references try to keep up, 862 01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:32.439 So this is what we use to cancel stuff when our intellectual betters tell us 863 01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:36.279 we can't do it. Like calling a woman bossy, even if she's being 864 01:11:36.399 --> 01:11:43.199 bossy. Just many that words all sorts of things over the years. This 865 01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:50.720 is more of a concept. But according to those doing the canceling, which 866 01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:58.520 is college professor from Alabama, well you like the state, you would do 867 01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:05.199 that. But okay, all right, it is it is oft often utilized 868 01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:13.920 to and I just scrolled past the line here Basically people use I'll just paraphyse 869 01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:15.880 it. The beef is it's got to go, and I'll tell you what 870 01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:23.560 it is in a moment, because people use it to weaponize their own bigotry, 871 01:12:24.359 --> 01:12:29.720 is what we're told, and it's not it's not healthy in a progressive 872 01:12:29.800 --> 01:12:34.159 society. So what is it? And you're all probably guilty? Nostalgia? 873 01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:44.199 Yes, we got to do away with nostalgia because it empowers hate. And 874 01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:50.159 the examples that they use in here, though, like are you'd have to 875 01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:55.760 be at least eighty probably right, because they're talking about like Jim crow era 876 01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:59.880 because you know, there's just people walking around apparently the campus where this guy, 877 01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:06.199 this idiot teaches and openly wanting you know, fire hoses and segregated schools 878 01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:13.199 or something. But I did find something that probably would apply to well Ross 879 01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:18.800 and I in many of you, nostalgia has been the example is nostalgia recently 880 01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:29.600 weaponized against Hollywood studios, which is a very interesting way to view that whole 881 01:13:29.720 --> 01:13:40.600 thing, where the studio has chosen a nostalgic thing, right, it requires 882 01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:44.520 nostalgia to evaluate what they're doing. This is what's so stupid about it. 883 01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:49.000 Right. You can't sit there and evaluate the new Star Wars, which I 884 01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:55.199 guess would probably be the big example, and not think about the old Star 885 01:13:55.319 --> 01:14:02.920 Wars, which would be from a nostalgic perspective. But also, how do 886 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:08.680 you not have nostalgia? And what counts as nostalgia? We were just talking 887 01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:15.520 about, you know, fast food. I remember, I remember McDonald's back 888 01:14:15.560 --> 01:14:19.520 in the day had remember two for two. That's which, by the way, 889 01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:25.319 consider what prices are, shouldn't even have been in my lifetime. But 890 01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:28.960 I was an adult when they still had two for two. You get a 891 01:14:29.000 --> 01:14:31.000 big Mac or a quarter pounder or I would get one of each. Two 892 01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:35.079 bucks. There you go, two plus tax. That's what I ate on. 893 01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:39.159 I don't even know what that costs now, it's sure as selling two 894 01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:43.720 dollars. Is that me weaponizing nostalgia? I don't know, but that's the 895 01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:45.119 thing, all right, let's get raised stage. I can here, So 896 01:14:45.239 --> 01:14:50.159 somebody's mad at nostalgia. Now we just we have nice things. But we 897 01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:56.119 were also mocking one of your Cowboys players. Which one the dude who with 898 01:14:56.279 --> 01:15:00.960 the who had the Michigan playbook, Mazie whatever is name is, well, 899 01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:06.359 not a popular starter probably, No, he was your your first round pick. 900 01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:11.119 He plays, he's your one. Oh oh yeah, the one that 901 01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:14.880 didn't play. Yeah, first round pick. I don't even think he ever 902 01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:17.439 played. Yeah, the defensive lineman. Yeah, wait, he get injured 903 01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:19.479 or so, I can't remember what it was. No, I just don't 904 01:15:19.479 --> 01:15:23.600 think he's good. It was a first round pick. I thought he was 905 01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:25.720 good. I thought the deal was he was good, he was well, 906 01:15:25.720 --> 01:15:28.840 it doesn't matter, but basically, yeah, he was injured. Somebody. 907 01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:31.119 You know the storage wars, Some dude bought a storage unit from his that 908 01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:34.920 he had in Michigan and the inventory list is insane and now he wants his 909 01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:41.439 stuff back. But he had a twelve thousand dollars worth of gold sunglasses and 910 01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:46.920 I don't mean gold power they were gold twenty thousand dollars and sneakers and a 911 01:15:47.159 --> 01:15:51.199 playbook there like, so this dude flipped eighteen hundred on the purchase for fifty 912 01:15:51.279 --> 01:15:56.720 k made TikTok videos and now the guy, well, hey, why not. 913 01:15:56.880 --> 01:15:59.880 Sometimes you fall into things like, hey, speaking of nostalgia, where 914 01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:04.520 where are you on this Caitlyn Clark thing? And breaking Pistol Pete's record. 915 01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:08.800 There was a lot of people preaching that, well, Pistol p did it 916 01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:11.960 and blah blah blah and only had two pointers and did it in less time 917 01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.600 and all that good stuff. Well, look, I say, I like 918 01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:18.199 the Kamarovich. You know it's from Raleigh, right, I don't know if 919 01:16:18.680 --> 01:16:21.600 I didn't know that, Oh yeah, and uh, I may have some 920 01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:25.760 of the some of the guys that played golf with that are you know, 921 01:16:26.039 --> 01:16:30.479 long time like they play. They there was apparently a basketball court where they 922 01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:35.000 all go play by five points and mayravich it's not there anymore, that's like, 923 01:16:35.479 --> 01:16:40.000 and so they love they're very nostalgic about Pistol Pee. I don't know. 924 01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:42.960 I'm not a big basketball guy, so I'm probably wrong. No, 925 01:16:43.079 --> 01:16:45.279 you know what, And I will say this, I didn't watch a lot 926 01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:48.199 of women's basketball until late last year. And now that she's played, I 927 01:16:48.239 --> 01:16:53.239 mean, my father's and iowa alum too, so I kind of follow. 928 01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:59.359 But it's fun to watch, remarkably better than the people she plays. He's 929 01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:01.880 very out of it. She's great. Yeah, and anybody like because you 930 01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:04.880 see these people on ESPN stuff saying like she isn't great because she hasn't won 931 01:17:04.920 --> 01:17:09.960 a championship whatever, Like, right, they're out of there. It's like 932 01:17:10.119 --> 01:17:13.840 watching what's his bucket from? Margentina is playing for the Miami team? Now, 933 01:17:14.359 --> 01:17:17.039 MESSI like, you ever watch one of the you're watching play for the 934 01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:21.600 Miami Like It's like he's playing children. It's just crazy, all right. 935 01:17:21.640 --> 01:17:25.399 I just looked at the cl so let's just right, I know. But 936 01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:28.640 yeah, a little rain today, mild in the mid upper sixties. Still 937 01:17:28.680 --> 01:17:30.720 some showers tomorrow, most of that late we could get to the little bit 938 01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:34.039 seventies, close to records, and then the cooler weather comes in late week, 939 01:17:34.439 --> 01:17:38.399 back to normal or slightly below. But a good looking Thursday. You're 940 01:17:38.399 --> 01:17:41.039 gonna wake up with big changes in the thirties. Will be in the fifties 941 01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:43.760 later or back to the sixties over the weekend, though, so quick, 942 01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:45.560 cool down, little wet weather, then we'll warm it back up. All 943 01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:47.399 right, cool, cool, Thank you, sir, appreciate it. And 944 01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:50.880 Jeff Bellinger next, Hang on going on, Jeff, Oh, good morning. 945 01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:55.720 Casey, Stock's pulled back a little bit yesterday. Futures are mixed this 946 01:17:55.880 --> 01:17:59.680 morning, S and P and NASDAC futures are a bit higher now. Futures 947 01:17:59.720 --> 01:18:03.399 have been up and down. They're currently down eighteen points. Shares of Amazon 948 01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:08.720 dot Com slipped yesterday, down less than two tenths percent in their first day 949 01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:14.000 with the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Lowe's posted better than expected fourth quarter results 950 01:18:14.079 --> 01:18:17.199 this morning. Comparable store sales decline, but not by as much as predicted, 951 01:18:17.520 --> 01:18:23.239 and Lowe's posted a profit. The top forecasts. Demand for expensive manufactured 952 01:18:23.319 --> 01:18:28.079 products fell more than expected last month. The government says orders for durable goods 953 01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:31.479 fell a little more than six percent in January. In Casey, services like 954 01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:35.880 Uber and Lyft get away with dynamic pricing. Now, Wendy's plans to find 955 01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:41.880 out whether restaurant customers will go along. The chain's chief executive, Kirk Tenner, 956 01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:45.680 says Wendy's is going to test surge pricing sometime next year. That means 957 01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:51.000 customers could be charged more for some popular menu items during peak meal times. 958 01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:56.319 Casey, I will tell you I brought that story up an hour and a 959 01:18:56.359 --> 01:19:00.319 half ago, and it has been the most popular story all morning. Yep, 960 01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:04.159 people have some thoughts. So I think it's going over like a lead 961 01:19:04.199 --> 01:19:10.119 balloon. If if your experience is what other stations if. Yeah, Yeah, 962 01:19:10.159 --> 01:19:13.279 it's kind of been the vibe. So what I didn't understand is like, 963 01:19:13.720 --> 01:19:16.079 so the way he words it, does that mean during nonsurge it'll be 964 01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:19.680 cheaper than it is right now? Because probably not right, No, probably 965 01:19:19.760 --> 01:19:26.000 not, probably just just extra when when it's really busy. We shall see. 966 01:19:26.039 --> 01:19:27.680 All right, thanks you, Jeff, appreciate it. Okay, have 967 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:30.079 a good day. All right, there you go, Jeff Bellenser Bloomberg News. 968 01:19:30.319 --> 01:19:35.319 Yeah, I'm still getting I'm just getting banged with emails. So I 969 01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:40.000 again, I you know, Jeff mentioned the rollout. They're talking literally next 970 01:19:40.119 --> 01:19:44.000 year, so uh so next year, I guess we can all get outraged 971 01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:47.880 again when they actually implement it. All right, Going back to Ross and 972 01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:53.840 I were talking off the air, going back to the whole Caitlin Clark insanity, 973 01:19:55.560 --> 01:19:58.000 just because we were a little short on time. I one of the 974 01:19:58.079 --> 01:20:03.159 ways that I will evaluate an athlete. It is pure driven, right because 975 01:20:03.319 --> 01:20:09.399 and especially when you're talking about men versus women because like, well, I 976 01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:14.239 can't remember the coaches name from Tennessee, the woman coach who set the record 977 01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:17.760 for most wins. People were arguing that it shouldn't be that, but I 978 01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:26.399 feel like that's kind of horsecrap because you're it's against all the other D one 979 01:20:26.520 --> 01:20:30.359 women, right and now some men, I guess. But but with Caitlin 980 01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:35.560 Clark, like MESSI like Jordan back in the day and others, like you 981 01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:41.199 know, when you're watching somebody who is so much better than everyone out there, 982 01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:45.880 and whether it's D one college or professional, like even without looking at 983 01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:49.079 the numbers, you know, right, yeah, but I specifically like because 984 01:20:49.119 --> 01:20:54.600 you know how I feel about women's sports at WNBA, specifically like women wrestlers 985 01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:58.119 too. But like, so, I saw this trending on Twitter while back, 986 01:20:58.159 --> 01:20:59.720 and I looked at her numbers, like I might go, well, 987 01:20:59.720 --> 01:21:01.920 who is this? And the numbers are astounding, right, Like, her 988 01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:06.760 stats are ridiculous, And I'm after researching this and watching her, and you 989 01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:11.039 know, I've come to the conclusion. Anybody who's saying that she isn't great, 990 01:21:11.199 --> 01:21:15.079 right, he's either ignorant or racist. Yes, And this is where 991 01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:18.560 I'm this is where I wanted to go here because you and I independently arrived 992 01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:25.039 at this conclusion the same way that I saw Luca Donsick being evaluated when he 993 01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:30.479 came over and started playing for Dallas. Even after a year in There are 994 01:21:30.600 --> 01:21:36.000 a handful of sports reporters that have seemingly seem to have a real problem with 995 01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:41.800 white athletes in especially in basketball. I saw it with Don Sick, and 996 01:21:42.159 --> 01:21:42.920 you're absolutely right.
