I know Hogszilla was a North Carolina thing because we talked about it and then
people are like, hey, man, you want to come down and shoot
some feral hogs. I think that was in Joco. I'm just looking at
a picture of this thing. So some guy was this Texas. Yeah,
so this guy in Texas, and you've probably seen the picture floating around,
literally got his house attacked by a feral hog. And I saw that you
had Texas Wildlife officials now using the term super pigs. So that's a thing.
Oh how big is this damn thing in the picture here? I have
to be honest, I have I have hunted a a Javelina in Texas,
and that would be the only wild pig ever. And it didn't taste that
good either, by the way, but it was remarkably smaller than the the
feral hogs, which is not even a cold weather or a warm weather thing.
Necessarily. Michigan's got absolute Russian beasts. I can't remember what breathed they
were, but let's see here. I thought it was funny because the internet
every time there is a giant hog, and we're tweeting this picture out.
If you haven't seen this thing, they go back to the AR fifteen.
Dude. Let's see here. Yeah, it was this guy. All right,
so this dude, this is in twenty nineteen. Man, I'm telling
you, time absolutely flies. I remember stuff, Russ. How often do
you remember something we talked about on the show, like this is what recently
happened. So I was scrolling on Twitter and they were talking about how it
was like the tenth anniversary of the death of Harold Remus. Stop ten years.
No, ten years is twenty fourteen, and I was like, that
was like two years ago. No, it's like the show The ten Years,
man, I mean it's ten years there. Okay, all right,
Well now I don't feel as bad because this is like five years ago and
I thought it was last year. So the dude, uh, this is
what the guy tweeted. He goes legit question for rule Americans, how do
I kill the thirty to fifty faral hogs that run into my yard within three
to five minutes while my small kids play? That turned into an AR fifteen
thing, all right, because people are like, oh, what you want?
Is you want? And arguably I still don't think an AR fifteen is
gonna help in that situation. For most people. One chances are you don't
have that many rounds too. You got to hit the damn things three.
It's going to take you a while. That being said, for whatever reason,
it turned into this like viral thing where you know you don't need an
AR fifteen, and this guy's trying to make excuses, and frankly, I
read that tweet is a little bit of a joke, but also not.
I mean in the sense that if you've ever seen, if you've never seen,
this is just entertainment. By the way, if you've never seen the
videos of the dudes who come out and set up the wild hog super trap,
I don't even I guess, for lack of a better word, it's
crazy, man. And Texas is kind of like ground zero for this stuff,
where they'll come out to a property and they'll set up what it looks
like a big round corral with the automatic gates and they'll nab thirty forty of
these things at a time. As far as North Carolina listeners have said me
pictures we had the hog Zilla towards the coast. I know they get big,
I just don't know if they get the same numbers. Sorry, I'm
just looking I'm literally looking at a wiki page over wild hogs in North Caroline.
It says they do. I just haven't seen any of those big trapping
videos. So yeah, an average herd could run thirty to fifty. It
literally says that. So anyway, I'm sorry, I'm just looking at the
new picture. And then it like restarted the whole stupid debate. What you
want is you want the truck mounted gun of rambo. I think in that
scenario, or or a predator drone that probably will be helpful. So how
many of these damn things are killed every year? But those of you have
property with wild hogs? How bad is it? How many? How many
of these things do you? Plink? I don't even know what the regulations
are in North Carolina. I gotta be honest with you. I know in
a lot of states it's just like, ah, that's whatever, do whatever
you want to do. But I might have to I'm gonna have to take
her one listener up. Yeah, here we go. All right, Well
that didn't answer my question, thank you. Yes, I understand that people
hunt them. I'm trying to figure out what the REGs are, all right,
I'll look that up. Or if somebody wants send me an email.
They can, We'll be uh, we'll be super lazy on that. All
right, let me get over to this. Sorry, I got wild hog
distracted, fighting with the computer distracted. It's it's a whole thing here,
all right. Eight eight eight nine three fours seven eight seven four. Now,
some dude, just send me a picture. Yes, I understand that
that's the one you got. I'm trying to figure out whether I need a
tag, if it was hard, or if they're just running around. I
admittedly I don't know that. I don't know that I've ever seen one in
North Carolina, let alone this thing that barely fits on the back of an
F one fifty. I gotta think that's not gonna taste too good either,
But who knows. Maybe I'm wrong? All right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. Let me get on to Georgia State Rep.
Rua Rua Roman. Okay, are you w A? I'm assuming that's
Ruwa. So this is Georgia State Representative Rueraw Roman. I can't even say
that, no matter how many times I tried. Anyway, this is also
on the issue of Hope Riley. Now, Hope Riley was the college student
who was killed. The individual who is alleged to have done the killing is
also somebody who's been in the country under this sole migrant program for eighteen months,
almost twenty months, and people are pointing that out. People are pointing
out that, yeah, this is an individual whose mere presence obviously was a
contributing factor. The representative tweets the following, some of you all, I
do like the all got a cater to the Georgia constituency. Some of you
all lack reading comprehension skills. If we got rid of every immigrant and banned
all immigration, women would still get murdered while running because this is a societal
issue and women are targeted because we're women. Now, is she wrong?
No, No, there are. You could easily find a story of somebody
who is was born here and that happened. In fact, this is an
issue, maybe not to that level that we've talked about with the tobacco was
it tobacco trail or whatever, the trail through Durham where we've had some pretty
bad incidents. And actually I was just gonna say we didn't have a murder,
but we did, right the high school at high schoolers, right and
as far as I know, everyone was a natural born US citizen, so
you're not wrong, But I fail to understand why it is mentally taxing to
sit there and go if the person was never here, likely that incident wouldn't
have happened. And it is for whatever reason, it is a connection.
That is when you're when you're when you're sitting here defending lawlessness. Uh yeah,
all right, so and then they uh, here, here's a couple
instances I found, so post some links and like, totally understand that.
However, the likelihood that make sure I get the name right, Hope Riley,
I keep wanting to say Riley Gaines, and I know that that's the
swimmer and the transgender thing, but it's on the brain. The likelihood that
Lake and Hope Riley would be dead is pretty close to zero, just based
on the you know, the actual criminal rate on something like that. It
was this situation, and again it is alleged, but it is this situation
with the specific details of which that seemingly led to this. And if you
are an elected official and you can't separate yourself from that moment or connect it
to how most people look at it, right, because the scenario is if
the if the individual who came here from and you know El Salvador, right,
and then came up here and snuck in and maybe got caught. It
sounds like this individual was in the books. You're going to try really hard
to come up with scenarios where that actually happened, because it's not the it's
not the uh, well they're taking our jobs discussion, right, the difference
being all right, well they came here and if they didn't work that job,
then you wouldn't have anybody working at the poultry plan or any of the
agricultural type jobs where we have this discussion. And that's because the vast overwhelming
majority of people who do come to the United States, even illegally, don't
murder people. Okay, they work. There may be you know, criminal
offenses along the line of what a standard citizen may actually commit, but they're
not actually here for murder. But some of them are or at the very
least criminal activity. And to prove that, Bloomberg has an article yesterday or
had an article yesterday, here we go. Venezuela's violent deaths fall to twenty
year twenty two year low on migration. It's the lowest rate of murder since
two thousand and one in Venezuela. Now, is that because Venezuela got super
better. No, it's a much more terrifying statistical analysis, and I will
give you the details of that coming up next here on the CaCO Day radio
program. So yeah, reading this from Bloomberg yesterday. Of course it's paywalled,
so you go like dig up a couple other versions of this, but
the meat of what you want to know here we go Venezuela, which is
still as it has been, which is a tragedy. By the way,
Venezuela is visually stunning as far as the capital which is separated by these immediate
mountains. There you drive through and you're at the at the beach, and
was a very popular tourist destination. Was at the time of a just a
regular farmer coming into power there, you know, just a regular guy before
he went straight dictator and then his buddy took over from him. Was the
richest country per capita in South America, and it wasn't close. It wasn't
close. And you know, I like to travel. Venezuela is one of
those countries I Aruba and Colombia obviously I just went to Columbia, but those
are the two closest countries, and Colombia will Columbia sad man as as many
many of those countries are in South America, sadly, but there is There
was a definitive pecking order, and Venezuela was at the top of it,
right, and then it turned into one of the most dangerous places in the
world. And you saw the videos of peace people literally bringing in money and
then weighing it. Right, they're not counting it, they're weighing it.
You saw people who were using literally reflective son off trash can lids to cook
because they didn't have access to, you know, fuel to run a stove.
And and and then you saw like idiot actors down there posing for pictures
talking about Sean Penn and whatnot. So if you're in the business of being
a criminal and other than a very small slice of friends of the dictator are
having a reasonable amount of money, it's it's not a good hunting ground.
So that's where this thing gets crazy. Venezuela's violent death so murder, criminal
murder. So this is not counting suicides, which, by the way,
the suicide rate in Venezuela is also up significantly and has been and will continue
to be. And that's saying something for a predominantly Catholic country, but that's
its own thing. Yes, the murder rate as part of criminal activity falls
to a twenty two year low, So then they try to figure out,
well, why is that? And as you read through the story here we
go, Venezuela's rate of violent deaths dropped to the lowest level in more than
two decades. Why Well, according to authorities, massive migration of both criminals
and victims. So the population number drops, but within that population you have
people who are criminals. And you know what, in a way that that
makes sense. If you are a criminal in Venezuela, it's got be hard
to grind out a living. So the scary thing is that those criminals are
thought to have fled the country the countries where do they go? Columbia is
first just due to the you know, the border being there. But as
you scroll through the top ten, guess who's number three? That would be
us. Now it's an estimate, but it's probably not off in the sense
that, yeah, some of the folks who made their living out there raping,
pillaging, and murdering went oh man, there's nobody to rob here.
Where should I go? And then we find ourselves where we are. So
that's your little terrifying stat for the morning, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, just
in case you don't remember both the governor and lieutenant governor, right, It
was really everyone was shocked, Oh my gosh, how the Republicans win.
And even though the chamber has flipped Democrat, what remains for the governor,
lieutenant governor, and the lieutenant governor of Virginia is a woman, is a
black woman, is a veteran, and is a Republican, which didn't matter
obviously, the nastiest of attacks happened. But Winsome Earl Sears is her name,
and she has a little different role than our lieutenant governor. In North
Carolina, like Virginia, the lieutenant governor and quite a few states, actually
lieutenant governor is the head of the Senate, but in Virginia it is a
more active role. I'm pointing this out to explain how Sears found herself presiding
over the Senate chamber. And you also have to know that up in Virginia
there is a senator by the name of Danica Rome from DC area, who
is a transgender woman, so man at birth and now identifies as Danica and
Frankly, I don't know what their other name was, but it doesn't matter,
all right. So, so, if you've ever seen who's ever presiding
over a chamber, unless they are core focused on an individual vote, a
lot of it's housekeeping. So there's you know, there's somebody talking to them.
They're going through the you know, the required motions for parliamentary kind of
stuff. And so in the video you see the Lieutenant governor doing that.
Literally there's people talking to Lieutenant governor. She's looking at she's looking a piece
of paper. I don't know if that's the schedule or where she's supposed to
go or whatever, but it's it's very loose in what is going on.
And the reason I reason I point this out is I don't know that she
the Lieutenant governor looked at the senator so vocally is what it appears that the
Lieutenant governor went off of. And as part of the discussion, this senator,
the transgender senator says, I wanted to clarify a number. It was
a parliamentary inquiry, is what she would call it in you know, legislative
stuff. And so the Senator Rome said, quote, and what would the
exact number for that be, Madam President again, President of the Senate,
And and the response was, yes, sir, that would be thirty two.
It was the sir that set the whole place off. And if you
didn't see this, basically, here's what happened. After that was said.
The senator puts down the microphone and literally walks out of the Senate chamber.
The colleagues, the Democratic colleagues, start losing their crap and had to and
I wish I was making this up, had to take recesses, not one,
but multiple recesses because they were emotionally unable to continue and people were literally
crying over this misgendering. So after it happens, all of a sudden,
everyone erupts, how dare you? You're horrible, You're a monster. We
need a recess. Two of the senators are in the back tearing up.
One of them literally is unable to vote on the recess things. Apparently they
have to vote on that, and you have a big group that walks out
and then they're standing in the hallway. They immediately find a member of the
media. In this case, it was the public radio reporter Michael Pope,
who was there to document all of this, and Sears at first is like,
what the hell happened? And then they figured out these are grown ass
adults who are unable to continue senatoring or whatever you want to call it,
following this most heinous of offenses. And then even when they get gathered back
and Sears says, apologize, I don't look, she apologized. Some people
are like, she shouldn't have done that. I'll let you decide, she
said. Let it be known. I'm not here to upset anyone. I'm
here to do the job the people of Virginia called me to do, and
that is to treat everyone with respect and dignity. And at the end,
she said, quote, I myself have at times not been afforded the same
respect and dignity. And that is true. And if you go look at
literally anything this woman posts, it's some of the most racist garbage you've ever
seen. They have a nickname for her that involves the C word. We'll
leave it at that, and that was her statement. And then after that
statement, then once again the grown adults were so taken them back that they
started crying again, and then they had to have another recess over the issue.
Let's see, all right, So here's the public radio article. I
don't think it's fair that is used as an excuse almost for misgendering. Someone
said another Democrat, I don't know what are oh okay? So she's Majority
Leader Lynn Stevens, who was among the two who were so emotionally distraught,
and apparently others, but the two in the article that they were unable to
continue to conduct business. These are the representatives of the people who were rendered
unable to conduct the people's business. Over somebody who is trying to talk to
six different people. It looks like read something and appear to be responding based
on the voice, which sounds like it. The voice sounds like a guy
in that moment. I don't know if that is the totality of it.
Here we go. Rome was the first transgender member of the House when she
was first elected in twenty seventeen. This from WVTF, Virginia Public Radio,
and this year she became the first transgender senator. Earl Sears of Virginia's first
black woman lieutenant governor. I don't know the full history there one word,
one word, and they couldn't conduct business anymore. And these are adults.
This is a room full of adults, and I'm sure that that will be
campaign ads or something along those lines. Yeah. I don't know why she
apologized frankly got I guess I do, But I don't know what she thought
it would get her, because this is, uh, this is the issue
dejore. Now what is this? One of our Virginia listeners is like,
oh, yeah, no, it's even worse than that. Yeah, no,
no, no, I'm sure it is. I'm not as plugged in
to the Virginia legislature as some of our listeners across the across the border there.
But I look, we've had incidents in North Carolina. Oh what what?
Oh? It was the nine remember the nine to eleven vote right where
the media literally ran stories that the Democrats were in what was it? Was
it HB two. I can't remember what they were voting. It was a
Republican issue and it literally was listed legally listed as potentially up for a vote,
and they took a vote, and they took a vote. At the
time, there were several Democrats missing, so they were able to successfully vote
on it, and you had this narrative that all of the North Carolina legislators
were at nine to eleven memorials and they just ran it because you had the
one woman senator who was screaming her head off about it, and the media
just ran that stuff. And then it turned out I think zero were at
nine to eleven memorials or something. Basically, they didn't read the sheet.
They didn't think because it had been a very long time. Now was that
intentional by republic Yes, absolutely, they sat there and they looked at the
head count and went, oh, let's go ahead and take this vote.
Now arguably a lesson that was ingrained in Republican lawmakers following the lottery vote,
right, because so, what was it? Some dude was at a wedding.
He was at his own wedding, right, one of our one lawmakers
at their own wedding, and somebody else wasn't there, and Bev Purdue and
and crew just ran that thing home. And it is not unknown to the
parties at the federal level or at the state level that if if enough of
their people don't show up, these are the results. Because the quorum rules
generally in most legislative bodies are two thirds and it doesn't matter who the other
third is. That's that's missing there. So yeah, so I don't know
if they're over their cry fast or how that's gonna work. They're demanding she
resigned, so I suspect that's not going to happen. Oh man, all
right, hold on here, Janet, what's up? Hey? How you
doing this morning? You know it's Tuesday, so whatever, but yeah,
almost may hang in there anyway. I have no idea how we elected the
biggest tandency the country in Virginia. Are you up in Virginia, Janet?
I didn't realize that everything in North Carolina on my life. Oh okay,
well, hold on your phone. I know my work ethic, and I'm
not going to cry unless I'm bleeding severely or a body member is falling off.
Okay, how do you cry at work unless there's something severe going on?
Well, I mean what you need is you need TV cameras and uh
public radio reporters dutifully they're no, you need you need your wavos to come
back. That's what you need. You need your wavos back. Well,
the science has solved that problem. Is you probably heard last week they can
grow those No, no, they they don't solve that problem, but that
actually exacerbated it. No, I think it's fair. I think that that's
I think whoever came up with the science, and I remember which university did,
I think they should probably show up with a booth or something. I've
got a couple of suggestions what they should do. If that's not one of
them, but we can go with that if you really want to. Well
we're on the radio, Janet, and that would be called evidence. So
you don't want to yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm
with I'm I'm with you. I look, I understand the feigned outrage and
the political side of it, but if when you have grown adults that are
literally in tears over that, and it is clearly for the cameras, it's
far more entertaining, right because they still accomplished. Yeah, look, look
at that. I was able to do a whole segment on it. So
yeah for us, okay, so love you all right, thank you,
Janet? Appreciate it? Yeah, yeah, no, pretty much. Ross
you ever cried at work? I've never cried at work, So here have
been all teary eyed and somebody came in to mess with your board. I'm
trying to think of the small infractions that we deal with. I mean,
I worked once after my father had passed away, and that's like the closest
I got to crying at work. I when my mom died. I was
on the air. My sister called and I finished the show and I actually
took grief for that from some of the listeners. They're like, what's wrong
with you? And I'm like, I it was. I refused to process
it right. I just went thank I taught my sister Lacey called me because
my mom, my mom had you know, cancer, she had very advanced
cancer, and she had was going around visiting everybody and she was literally at
my sister's house. She called me in the first hour of the show,
and something to my brain went that call didn't happen. Finished the show and
I talked to my program director after and it was like, he's like,
what are you doing? He looked at me like I had three heads.
But to the point, the next day was the far harder show, and
I didn't I wouldn't. I didn't do it. But that's when it all
emotionally hit me. So for you, your dad, what it was the
day after. I honestly can't even remember. Wait a month, was it
a month ago or ten years ago? Yeah, exactly right, this morning.
But yeah. And it's like, I understand people have an emotional response
to what you you know, what you just mentioned, and people are going
to process it differently. I guess it's kind of my point, but it
looks so fake watching this, and well, these are like, you know,
serious things we're talking about, like the passing of a loved one or
exactly. Another one I can think about is I had to do a broadcast
a few days after nine to eleven and I had driven back because I was
at home from a birthday and new were you new Burn, Where were you?
No? Then I was in Omaha, so I had to drive all
the way back because the flights are canceled, and I drove all the way
back from Schenectady to Omaha, and I had to do a broadcast at night,
and they were doing like a like a nine to eleven tribute type show
to get money for the families and stuff like that. And it was tough.
Yeah, that was That was a tough broadcast. And and in the
same sense, these are people who these are professionals and it doesn't matter the
gig. But in this case, these are professionals that deal with the media
right and know and and I reportedly know how to handle themselves. And this
happens. All right, we'll be back hang on ac Oda Radio program.
I want to throw something out because I'm interested in what you think. And
before I tell you exactly what it is, understand that from a business perspective,
there's a couple things that are after and you've seen models where they have
moved to it. The best example I could give you is Microsoft Office.
Right. Used to be you'd go, you'd buy a copy, you know'd
be whatever it is, twenty ten, twenty twelve, twenty twenty, all
the different iterations of it, and that's what you use. And then eventually
Microsoft would come along and they'd say, we're not going to be supporting this
model or this version anymore, and you'd have to figure out an upgrade.
And then it turned into a subscription model. And that's, you know,
from a business perspective, that's a lot more desirable, it's predictable, it's
more profitable, and frankly, you can you know, you can make the
upgrades as you go so in a way, you're kind of forcing the hand.
And if you ever have to raise the price, you could still make
the argument you're giving them the very latest, okay, and there's a there's
a different pricing thing. And and frankly in the in the computer section,
software even hardware to then to that extent, your phone through your cellular provider.
This is where all of these businesses want to be because they got you,
and so you see those rollouts. Another iteration is surge pricing. And
the best example of surge pricing is uber or lyft. Right, So if
it's doing the afternoon on a regular old Tuesday today, right, and you
want to take an uber from point A to point B, chances are you're
going to pay whatever the minimum rate is. But if it's Halloween, New
Year's eve eves, you've seen what happens there, So how would you feel?
Going back to the second one, arguably it's it's kind of the most
immediate version of capitalism in a way. This right, you know, it's
instant supply and demand. How would you feel if that? Because it really
hasn't been expanded that much. I'm trying to think of other examples of surge
price ross. Can you think of anything where they fluctuate the price based on
demand other I guess maybe tickets for concerts or sporting events maybe, but it's
not a pure system. I don't know of anyone else who does surge pricing
on the regular then, like uber lyft and like ticketmaster, but this is
this is something else. So Wendy's. By the way, can we agree
that Wendy's has the best fast food burger just at the start? I think
that's abundantly clear, right. It's of the you know, the major fat
you know, burger King McDonald's. I'm trying to think of some others that
d burger, but Wendy's is superior. And it's not just the square shape.
That's a fact, don't argue. Wendy's announced yesterday They're CEO Kirk Tanner.
They're in a call with investors, said that the Ohio based fast food
company is investing twenty million dollars on high tech menu boards. So if you
go into the Wendy's, gone will be the you know, the I guess,
the fixed boards and instead you'll get the digital boards. And that's important
because that will allow the company to surge price meals. So if you go
to Wendy's today at like twelve thirty in the middle of lunch rush under this
system, and it's unclear how this says. They're launching it, not with
all the stores, but eventually want to get there, so I don't know
how that impacts in North Carolina. But if you go in at twelve thirty,
and let's say the meal is seven bucks, right, although it's not,
It's like, but did I pay it Wendy's last time? I remember
it was? I remember I had a ten dollars bill in my hand and
I thought I'd be fine, and I had to dig for change. Let's
just say it's ten bucks nine ninety nine whatever you order during lunch. It
might be twelve, however, and I'll believe it when I see it.
It also will allow perhaps a lesser price during times when most people don't come
in there, So I get the argument is if you want to go to
Wendy's and you want to go during the madness of lunch rush, you're going
to pay a little more. If you want to go during off times,
you may actually say versus current prices. Again, I'll believe that when I
see it. Because I suspect that just leave the minimum at whatever it is
and it'll just be the surge and that's what they want to do. And
then they'll use the new digital boards to essentially run an algorithm. I don't
know if it'll be the Google Gemini AI picking it out, but they'll figure
out I guess based on the number of tickets they're doing that they if they
need to raise the price. So my question is does that make sense to
you? And I guess could you use that to your advantage to go during
off times and maybe save a little money or do you think people are going
to lose their damn minds because I kind of feel like it's going to be
the second one, ironically, even for people who might benefit because they eat
at non traditional times, like with the schedule. Ross and I have,
like we do traffic reports. I can't I couldn't tell you the last time
I was stuck in traffic, right because we're here, we're you know,
we're doing the show, all of that. And if I go to a
fast food joint because I I try not to eat late in the evening just
you know, just from you shouldn't eat and go right to bed. In
some evenings, that's what I want to do. So I tend to eat
like ten thirty and then like three thirty or four, and then I'll snack
on stuff during the show. But so like I'm in the wind there.
But for a lot of people, you know, nine to five, you
got that one hour off probably the hour. What everyone else does you down
with that? And I guess, Look, Wendy's could do whatever they want,
but I'm just curious what the pushback will be there. So I'll throw
it out. You want a way in? Go ahead? Eight eight eight
excuse me, a little hiccup there, eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. Here we go. Wendy's burgers are amazing, but cook
Out may I don't. Here's the deal. I'm not counting cook I understand
the Cookout is. I'm talking the big national brand. Yeah, you could.
You might be able to drag me over on the uh on the cookout,
but you know, from anywhere you go kind of standpoint. I go
with Wendy's. That's just me. So all right, so you're waiting on
that, Let me grab a call Jamal. What's up, hey, Casee?
What's going on? You know what Chasey. The tragic thing about this
Lake and Riley being murdered in Georgia, it's this, this is not the
first time that we've had a young white girl college students murdered binding legal immigrants.
Of course, you remember tape the girl in San Francisco her Now you
had the girl that was an hour she was murdered by illegal immigrant thrown in
the cornfield. Didn't you have the other girl up in New York and now
this And it's like Chase and I said this, if this has been a
black girl been murdered repeatedly by people or illegal immigrants, well even let's say
some white person, like they try to paint black women are in danger.
Black women are in danger all the news media while black women in danger.
Of black women in danger, nobody says that when of course I'm not talking
about the one in Memphis, Tennessee. Where was the black dude. They
was like, oh, somebody snatched her untilled the then where they found out
was the black dude with the extens of racking in Memphis, Tennessee. That
story just went away. And it's like that they're very busy, the reporters.
They can't cover everything. Jamal Come on, man, well you know
what KC. I like this? Yeah, how much longer if a woman's
being murdered Americans being murdered by illegal immigrants. This is the anger Republicans have,
like myself. We watch what's going on with Donald Trump. It's happened
in Georgia. Tell me why Brian Camp haven't had the atturn General, have
that city council, who legal immigration, who will released them? Because when
he went down to Athens, Georgia, he committed another clime and they released
them as well. See that's the one king people forget. He went down
there to Athens and did some They released them now supposed to. Here's the
deal. And I understand why people got beef with Kemp, But what's the
government. How's the governor going to tell the Athens City council how to run
their police force? Like you know what, casey, I'm gonna tell you
how. It's a thing called accessory. Before the fact that attorney general,
that governor Kemp like he ordered over the a von Albury case when he felt
it won't write. He ordered the Attorney General to investigate the Albury case.
He can order the Attorney General of Georgia to investigate acts. If their policy
led to this girl's death, he could charge each one of them with acessory
before the fact, because if they hadn't, I'm curious to see what the
I remember his hands were tied on the charging of that police officer speaking of
Wendy's in the Wendy's parking lot. So, but what I've learned in Georgia
is apparently you can charge and do whatever you want, even if you're a
sleepy we care so yeah, so you can stack the cash like you a
drug dealer, right, you know the drug dealer boyfriends you date like you
were known to date. Now, remember when President Trump talked about a woman,
a certain district attorney who when she was a lawyer, dating a right
drug dealer and got one of them killed and the other one locked away for
life. Now we hear her. Stand. So, Georgia has a president
where you could charge somebody for some if you believe it to be so.
So tell me why Republican states with republic attorney generals aren't making examples out of
these sanctuary cities Democrats and have sanctuary city. Will tell me why Republicans architect
and white women because any time you turn around, okasey, that's stead a
true. It's a white woman being snatched up by some legal immigrants or minority
and nobody saying anything but if white folk, but if white men, let's
go the handling thing like they used to. Right. But that's not that's
not true. The person saying something is this idiot lawmaker who's like, god,
there's no connection. What do you So, yes, it's actually more
egregious than you're putting out. And I don't disagree with you. Use whatever
remedies you have, or get creative, like, hey, let's send people
to Martha's vineyard, right, So I hear you seven forty Oh crap,
raced agic, So sorry, sir, so sorry, no worries with oh
man idiot is one of those mornings. But yeah, it's gonna be a
nice day, so yeah, let's go with that. Yeah. Yeah.
Warm, maybe not quite as warm as yesterday by a few degrees, but
still the mid upper sixties across the area, hampered by maybe a few sprinkles
of rain this morning, especially around the Triad. More showers to the west
on radar are going through Knoxville heading toward Ashville. Greenville. All the Ville's,
Huntsville, Cartersville, and Georgia. That's all coming this way for the
afternoon. So a little different for the commute. Slight chance of showers tonight
and tomorrow than the cold fort to come through load of mid seventies tomorrow.
By Thursday, we're only in the load of mid fifties with the loads at
night down you're freezing once again by Friday morning, but we're quickly going to
warm up again ere seventy over the upcoming weekend. Okay, well, look,
man, just you're headed in the right direction. Let's not not screw
anything up. By the way, ye springs almost here. Yeah, got
what's wrong with Clemson's basketball team? Well, I mean they're hoting cold?
The man poke the I mean, yeah, I know they can be more
consistent. Yeah, does Clemson recover if they don't move from the ACC to
the SEC. I saw some of the recruiting stuff, so like, uh,
what a mess? Sorry, throw that out for you. I'll let
you ponder. We'll check on it here in an hour, thank you.
All right, all right, we'll come back to your phone calls next.
Hang on. We were just talking last week about storage units, and I
don't remember the story that prompted it. But like you know where they go
on the TV show and they buy him and it's totally rigged and all that.
However, because you know, there's not a van go in every one
of these. However, there's an amazing story which I'll share with you in
the next hour, and it's sometimes you do find a gym, but let
me grab calls first. Anthony, you're up first, what's up? Yeah,
I didn't want to follow Jamal talking about all this serious stuff he's talking
about. You tried to bring it back with that Wendy's shooting in Atlanta.
But I worked as in high school when it was a singer with cheese was
three dollars and thirty eight cents, so that's tax included. And I'm I'm
your age long. Yeah I will. Yeah. People are sending me emails
like, goh, Wendy's is super Yeah, I'm not. I'm not they
they are. They are expensive compared to others. That being said, not
much, really, I mean, yeah, everywhere is hot. Yeah.
Well, Ross was telling me he picked up Wendy's for the family recently and
it was like thirty bucks, which checks. Like I said, I paid
ten dollars. I think that was for a double meal which I went to.
I went to a place called way Back the other day. Yeah,
just two days, get me and my daughter, just just me and my
daughter, and it was twenty eight dollars that way back. Is that the
one up by five forty in Capital or No? This heritage? Oh heritage,
Okay, maybe they got multiple ones. Yeah they got good if it's
the one they got hot dogs? Oh okay, cool, cool, Yeah,
they got good hot dogs. That's what I'm thinking of. So,
yeah, it is it's pricey, man. I appreciate the call their anthony.
Yeah, it's already expensive, although maybe not. And then people are
telling me, you know, this is the it's the consistency of pricing that
brings people in. But I would argue that every look you eat at a
McDonald's or a Wendy's in the airport, talk to me. But I ate
at McDonald's at the airport in or in Orlando when I was laid over there
one time, and I don't generally, I don't generally do the fast food
in there, but I remember looking at that many going oh my gosh,
and you get on like some of the through ways, and you know some
of the roadside, the pull off ones, those are super expensive. So
it exists. The larger issue, especially in the realm of fast food is
and it was exacerbated by COVID is like a new upper echelon of horror stories
right where a lot you know, you can you can chalk some of it
up to just not having the staffing numbers because you know, the struggle,
which is getting better, but the struggle that a lot of minimum way jobs
are going to find themselves. But now we're talking about the McDonald's near the
station, Like I've seen some straight up weird stuff there. So this guy's
Wendy's are full of meth heads and then they run out of Hamburger. Who
was I didn't was it was it KF seat remember KFC? Didn't they run
out of chicken or something like at a bunch of locations and that was that
was right around the COVID, Like, yeah, I think it was Popeyes?
Was it Popeyes? Well that was with the that was with that sandwich
right where everyone was like beating each other like somebody shot somebody over that damn
sandwich. But but I thought they were straight up, like all out of
chicken. Was it Popeyes? It was a place that is a chicken place,
And I don't know how that works, right, Like, if you
got one job is whoever handles the inventory. I feel like it's going to
be chicken in that setting. I mean there's just certain places now we won't
go because I know the services going to be so bad. Yes, and
when you factor that into the end of the cost of it, it's like,
well, I'm just gonna go somewhere else or just pick up food at
the grocery store or whatever. But I understand sometimes you're in a hurry and
you can't do that. But yeah, there's some places we just won't go
anymore because they get pissed off. One the order is always wrong. There's
always gonna be something wrong with the order, right, yeah, on top
top of this, So when you go and then you try to correct the
situation, sometimes the service is so bad they get angry at you. Like
I've made the joke about them spitting in the food. I just assume at
this point it's all on purpose, because it's so bad. There's no way
service could be this bad and not be on purpose. And you go into
these places or you look through the window and you can tell these people do
not want to be there. They do not want to be there, and
they don't care if your order is right. There's no They're just there for
their check and they're there to leave. That's what it seems like anyway,
and probably a lot harder to get fired, right because there's no one to
replace them. That's that's exactly what it is, right because these are the
people now that are going to take the jobs because the good workers from before
don't even want to bother. You know what, we need rampant illegal immigration
that'll solve the problem. That's literally, I mean, that's literally the the
an argument that you'll hear, well, who was it? Who was it
on the View? Didn't somebody on the View or not the View? Whatever?
The View knockoff show is, Oh it's Kelly Osbourne? Right? You
remember that statement where she's like she's trying to scold Trump and she's like,
who's going to clean your houses now? And everyone looks at her like,
oh my gosh, what did you just say? Yeah, it was Kelly
Osborn on the View knockoff thing? Yeah, all right, but here's the
thing I would rather have, like you know, an illegal immigrant who doesn't
speak English working at the McDonald's if they care, like if they showed they
are working at whatever the rest, if they care, just put some effort
into getting it right and caring, because you could tell when somebody cares about
their job. And when you go in there and you're like, hey,
I ordered this and you gave me that, and they look at you like
they want you dead, and they're like, fine, let me go back
and we'll spin your food or whatever now out bad orders. Well, I'm
not coming back here any but thank you for it. I'm not going to
spend the thirty dollars in the two meals here anymore. It's I think I
think you kind of like piece it out. Like I mentioned the problem at
that one McDonald's, So like if I will go to the one on south
of the belt line on uh wake Forest and and like that one is night
and day, so I think you kind of I'll tell you what's really I'll
tell you what's really good is the Bojangles around the corner from that. I
was just about to say a certain mornings though, right it's the opposite,
So lay Bojangles. It's always amazing, especially in the morning there in wake
Forest. Chick fil A obviously great service all the time. Yeah, there's
certain places you'll go just because you know, a the there's a less chance
the order will be wrong, plus the service will be great. Yeah,
yeah a hundred. Well, you know, and this speaks to my uh
uh this program that I've tried to get implemented for years, which is uh
a swap, right, So for every person who wants to come to this
kind of tree and work their butt off and and you know, provide for
their family, we swap one idiot, so like we maintain the what what
come on, dude, that's a brilliant program, right, and then you
and I are of the list. So we're moving you off the drive through
window. Now you're gonna be upset. Now the good news is you're getting
a free trip to Venezuela. It's very nice this time of the year,
I hear. I don't know, but yeah, I've said them that far.
Just here you go. You live in the Chihuahua. Now right,
how'd you like to go to can Kun forever? Right? Boom, there
you go. They'll get on the plane. You know what I'm saying,
Like, oh, what a free trip to Caddoe's. So nice there.
Yeah, it's uh, and you know this goes for politicians, general,
useless people, college professors. I think is why I was initially interested in
this program because again going back to like I've said this before, I understand
why somebody in Guatemala, you know it, wants to come to the US
and is you know, being told that this is the process, that's what
you do, because the alternative is being among the poorest people in Guatemala,
which is rife with corruption and criminal Like I get it. So like,
if you pass whatever the screening is, we'll swap you for one idiot.
I'm I'm, I'm fine with that. And the the caveat is Ross and
I make the list of idiots, so and you can't put me on it,
by the way either, Ross. So there you go. All right,
let me grab a couple of calls here. All right, I'll tell
I knew that fast food thing was going to catch if you don't know what
this is. So yesterday Wendy's, uh Wendy's announced a surge pricing plan that
they're gonna start rolling out. Basically, they're gonna get digital menus, you
know, digital boards in there, and if it's a busy time of the
year, the price goes up. For a time of the day, price
goes up. If it's not, he kind of skirts around the issue,
it goes down. And I don't know if that means level or perhaps even
a little cheaper if you go in during slow times, which is not a
new business thing, right. There's a lot of food places that will have
specials, especially ones that are really core focused, like morning rush or whatever,
where there is discounted food opportunities at off times of the day. So,
but you know, a national brand rolling it out, that's kind of
a that's kind of a new thing. All right, to the phones,
here we go, and we start with Ramona, good morning. What's up?
Hello? Hello, Yes, good morning morning. What do you want
to want to add to this conversation? Are you talking to Ramona? I
think so? Is this Ramona? Okay? No, I couldn't tell because
the radio is on in the background. But no, I just wanted to
say that Hardy's has a very good burger. I don't know Wendy so much.
My husband gets Wendy's and we're going there and get a potato or a
drink. We were for a drink the last time we were in Winston.
We're a walled at cove and we love our Hearty's and they have Angus Burgers.
But now some are saying, I'm marring the talk that they're going away
because we've just had a Dunnald's open across the street on the north end of
town, which is one of the business centers north and south end of town
and in the middle of town. Yes and no, it's kind of crazy.
I've been watching it. They complained. Some people in Hardy's complain that
they have taken away their business. I don't honestly know, because they didn't
have genuway to begin with. Their service has been very poor and for Walnut
COVID they can't find workers. Now it's starting to change a little bit,
and I'm rooting for them because I don't really like McDonald's. I don't if
I had to change, I'm I'm. Here's the thing with Hardy's. I
grew it was Hardy's was the only fast food restaurant for years that we had
in my little town in Wyoming. So I have an infinity, but like
they don't. They don't generally have Hardy's in city centers, which you know,
it's kind of their model is more a little out so I don't get
to eat there as much as i'd like. So I agree with you.
All Right, Well, the uh we'll be uh, we'll be watching the
Stokes County McDonald's v. Hardy's. Walnut Cove, Well, no, this
is Walnut Cove. This is walle Cove. And I will say I'm gonna
plug for Walnut Cove because we are growing and I've heard there's talk about maybe
another fast food place coming to Walnut Cove, but I can't say what it
is because I've been sworn to secrecy as somebody, as somebody who grew up
in a in a small town. Uh roughly about twice the size of Walnut
Cove. What do you guys have like fifteen hundred people up there? Yeah?
Like two thousand? Oh is it? Yeah? But like a new
fast food restaurant, a new fast food restaurant opening was like it was I
seem to remember that was the highlight of my high school career. We got
a new fast They had a huge roll out McDonald's. It was huge.
It was like two three weeks ago. But now the lines are down the
numbers are down. The parking lots is not full, full full because they
don't have good service. Have they been up? You cheated? You cheated
one? Yeah, well I wanted to scope out the anime territories. I
see. All right, We'll let you get back to your spycraft. Thank
you so much for the call. Yeah, you live in a small town
and some fast food chain opens up. In our case, it was McDonald's.
We had the Heartys. What did they have? They did have a
subway, We had a subway, but that was it. And then the
McDonald's opened like my junior year, and it was like it was it was
like Pearl Harbor man. I mean just it was for weeks and weeks the
reporting on it was crazy. And and then the day it opened, like
the whole town showed up and I'm like, we need more to do.
But yeah, that was. That was a big deal. All right,
let me grab this, James, go right ahead. What's up? Hey,
good morning morning, I'm good. Hey listen, you know, you
know your small town has made it when you get a Walmart. Oh that
was that was shared in that was forty five minutes away. That would never
happen about Yeah, you're right there. You well listen, uh, you
know, I didn't even know, you know, I actually had to look
it up Windy's. You know, they do have an app. And so
to me, that's the only way that this plan could work, right is
you know, uh because when you look at you mentioned you weren't sure a
couple of some of the other industries hotel industry, right, they there pricing
and but all those, all those different aspects, it's all you have to
book, right, you have to go somewhere and book something prior to So
I bet you that you know that this is only going to work where you
can go on the app and say like, hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna
you know, I'm gonna choose my sandwich, and then from there it's,
uh, it's going to be you know, at this price, I locked
it in, right, there's you know other than that, I mean,
yeah, how from a distractionary standpoint, Frankly, if I was the marketing
people, I've that's that is one of the ways in which I'd hope to
uh counter some of the pushback because they love pushing the app for stuff.
I don't have any of the apps, but they have deals all the time
on those things. So yeah, you're probably right, sir, Ye,
okay, I don't know that. To the other well, to the other
point, I think the breakfast was probably a flop, so they're you know,
I have a feeling that they're trying to do everything they can to make
this. I like, I like their burrito more than McDonald's. I'll be
yeah, they had a better breakfast burrito, which isn't saying much. They're
both not great, but yeah, but yeah, other than that, I
don't know that I ever ordered anything or saw anybody there when I got breakfast,
So you're probably they got to do something. And they're talking and thanks
for the call. They're talking to investors, and you know that's they they
got it. They got to have a plan when they get in front of
them, especially if numbers are down, which apparently they were. So uh
BJ, go right ahead, good morning, case. I just want to
jump in on the discussion about Wendy's and whatnot. I'm with you on Wendy.
I'm went you on Wendy's even better than most other regular like Burgers.
Was loved bag Nator, But I wanted to talk about we were talking about
how the service went down and the prices went up. My my first job
back in twenty twelve was working at a subway and I worked there for two
and a half years. And back then we still had five dollars foot lungs
and I was there whenever I was there, whenever that went away, and
I just do all just remember, like, man, that's like that's been
that was subway's thing forever, you know, And like now you go get
a six inches to five dollars about to drink or anything, and I think
y'all mentioned it's it's ridiculous, I mean, and that's not even adding anything
extra to the dank sandwiches. But like you're mentioned Bojangles that switch gears from
Burgers here for a second. But like I love Bojangles, And when I,
well, I guess, I was like what I did. We didn't
go to bow Jangles a lot when I was younger, but when I when
I, I guess, discovered it my late teens early twenties and started going,
I was like, man, this place is awesome. But like I
was, sometimes I'll go and get a sweet a sweet tea or something,
but the dagoum drinks are like two and a half dollars for sweet tea.
They used to be like one oh nine. And the quality of service at
like any of these fast food places, it's it's hit or miss. I
mean, it's like you said, like thirty dollars for two or three people.
No, I mean, And so we were kind of talking about,
like you kind of scope out and remember where you get good experience, even
if it's you know, literally the same restaurant being in a chain. But
yeah, no, it's there's like two or three places in the morning if
I'm gonna grab breakfast like pre show or right right before because they open at
five thirty, but it's right around the corner from the station. But when
your time is valuable, like I wouldn't, I wouldn't contemplate going anywhere but
either the Viscuitville or the Bojangles or the the other McDonald's because to your point,
the service, like I could be there for twenty minutes, I don't
know, and I don't have that kind of time in the morning, So
it it's ridiculous. I've been to I'm not kidding. Someone mentioned a waffle
house second ago, but like I kid you not, I've been to a
waffle house, sat down, got my order in my food at a waffle
house quicker than I've gotten it standing inside at a McDonald's in the morning.
Because they're focusing on the drive there, which is which is ridiculous. But
as far as the drive who is concerned, it's pretty much anywhere with the
exception, like you said, a couple places stoked out. I'm to the
point now where like sorry for the people behind me, but I'm making sure
my orders right before I moved, because it's like these people wanting fifteen sixteen
bucks an hour and can't remember a pack of a catchup is absolutely ridiculous.
I go there's a couple of places I'll go in. I'll park and go
in to eliminate the screw around factor. Biscuit King is a good example in
high Point there. I literally I like the food, but I'll always go
in just to make sure everything's going to be cope, pathetic, and I
you know, I really thanks for the call. I think that's what people
You know, that's where people are going to fight value there, and it
may even override their objection to the prece model. We'll see. I don't
know, but I do know we got to take a break. More to
come. Casey O Day Radio program. We got a cancelation. Get to
that here in just a moment. That's where our intellectual betters tell us things
that just gots to go. And this one's a doozy by the way,
so don't miss that. But I mentioned the football player, So let me
jump over to this real quick. Mazie Smith Mozzi smyth Ando to pronounce his
name. He plays for the Cowboys. Oh we can bust Race chops on
this plays for the Cowboys. He's a tackle. Went to the University of
Michigan and this is important first round draft pick two. So yeah, high
profile dude. And as he was finishing his college career and making that transition,
like it was known, people are, Dude, I have an absolute
russ I'm gonna have to send I have an absolute map of every horrible fast
food place for like nine counties. Now everyone's got beef. That's crazy because
I got people send me this one's bad and then other's good. All right,
don't distract me. I gotta do this. So as he's making that
transition, everyone knows this dude's you know you're gonna go first round, maybe
second but first round probably, and once you have declared for the draft,
that's when everything starts happening, although now with name, image, likeness thing,
it's a little different. But so what happens is he's done, he's
he's not under NCAA rules, he's got an agent, and everybody under the
sun starts sending him stuff. So you know, all athletic equipment, clothing,
shoes, you name it. And this apparently it's a lot, so
much so that the former first round pick got himself a storage locker up in
Michigan and just put all this crap in there. And you probably heard a
little about this story because of one thing that was found in there and then
he he just left it. And a dude by the name of Vincent Broadway,
who is one of these storage guys, right, he goes like the
guy's on storage wars and buys them. And we were making fun of this
last week because there's like, there's no way there's a van go and all
of these they have to be seating these things, but every now and then
there's this guy's So Broadway bought two storage units, one for three hundred dollars
and another for this one for eighteen hundred dollars, the reason being that you
could see a giant gun safe when you looked in there. They don't let
him dig around, but he looked in there, they year a gun safe,
and the bidding went up, but he paid eighteen hundred dollars, and
you know what, that was a good investment. So what they found in
there that got news made news here at the end of last week was a
Michigan playbook, So the University of Michigan playbook. Obviously, you don't want
those things floating around. People are making a big deal. But what's more
fascinating about this is, according to Broadway, who then decided to make a
series of tiktoks, he found roughly twenty thousand dollars worth of sneakers. Let's
see here, Yeah, twenty thousand dollars worth of sneakers, including a bunch
of Jordan's I don't know the sneaker price and it's out of control whatever,
as well as Louis Vaton stuff twelve thousand dollars in sunglasses, and the list
goes on from there. And so it was such a haul he put it
up on TikTok and it went viral. They're like, oh my gosh,
look at this this storage unit. That's how dude saw it. So somebody
sends it to this guy and now he's threading to sue to get all his
stuff back. But the law, it looks like in Michigan's pretty clear.
And by the way, those are not Let me read this correctly, because
now I see the inventory list, and that was twelve thousand in solid gold
sunglasses. Is that a thing? Not gold colored sunglasses where the metallic parts
are pure gold. Apparently he had and I don't know how many of that
would be, but he had twelve thousand dollars worth. And this dude just
making these TikTok videos, like, I get it. You're walking into your
first round pick right, You're walking into fat stacks of cash. But still
it sounds like there's fifty K worth of stuff in this thing. Man and
I again, but he's outraged. This is his agent. Smith was unaware
that his personal belongings had been sold until he started receiving the TikTok videos from
friends and colleagues of the man who purchased the storage unit and decided to use
it to build his own credentials. I don't know how he thinks he's doing
that, but yeah, no, I dude, just he paid eighteen hundred
dollars and flipped it for what's probably fifty K. My client has been dealing
with constant emotional district I think he's fine. He wants his possessions back.
I've seen these dudes crack that amount of money at a bar, so I
think he's going to be fine. I wonder what he even got. What
his contract was worth? First round, middle first round. I mean he's
defensive, but he was. He's a good player, as I understand.
We get seven mil bonus. Yeah, he'll probably make twelve million office per
Yeah, yeah, I think dude, just realize he got a lot more
money. Doesn't care about the gold sunglasses, which I now know were a
thing. So that's good. All right, let's get to the canceling here.
So that's the taker bell for those of you knew to the show.
Nah, undertaker right. A lot of wrestling references try to keep up,
So this is what we use to cancel stuff when our intellectual betters tell us
we can't do it. Like calling a woman bossy, even if she's being
bossy. Just many that words all sorts of things over the years. This
is more of a concept. But according to those doing the canceling, which
is college professor from Alabama, well you like the state, you would do
that. But okay, all right, it is it is oft often utilized
to and I just scrolled past the line here Basically people use I'll just paraphyse
it. The beef is it's got to go, and I'll tell you what
it is in a moment, because people use it to weaponize their own bigotry,
is what we're told, and it's not it's not healthy in a progressive
society. So what is it? And you're all probably guilty? Nostalgia?
Yes, we got to do away with nostalgia because it empowers hate. And
the examples that they use in here, though, like are you'd have to
be at least eighty probably right, because they're talking about like Jim crow era
because you know, there's just people walking around apparently the campus where this guy,
this idiot teaches and openly wanting you know, fire hoses and segregated schools
or something. But I did find something that probably would apply to well Ross
and I in many of you, nostalgia has been the example is nostalgia recently
weaponized against Hollywood studios, which is a very interesting way to view that whole
thing, where the studio has chosen a nostalgic thing, right, it requires
nostalgia to evaluate what they're doing. This is what's so stupid about it.
Right. You can't sit there and evaluate the new Star Wars, which I
guess would probably be the big example, and not think about the old Star
Wars, which would be from a nostalgic perspective. But also, how do
you not have nostalgia? And what counts as nostalgia? We were just talking
about, you know, fast food. I remember, I remember McDonald's back
in the day had remember two for two. That's which, by the way,
consider what prices are, shouldn't even have been in my lifetime. But
I was an adult when they still had two for two. You get a
big Mac or a quarter pounder or I would get one of each. Two
bucks. There you go, two plus tax. That's what I ate on.
I don't even know what that costs now, it's sure as selling two
dollars. Is that me weaponizing nostalgia? I don't know, but that's the
thing, all right, let's get raised stage. I can here, So
somebody's mad at nostalgia. Now we just we have nice things. But we
were also mocking one of your Cowboys players. Which one the dude who with
the who had the Michigan playbook, Mazie whatever is name is, well,
not a popular starter probably, No, he was your your first round pick.
He plays, he's your one. Oh oh yeah, the one that
didn't play. Yeah, first round pick. I don't even think he ever
played. Yeah, the defensive lineman. Yeah, wait, he get injured
or so, I can't remember what it was. No, I just don't
think he's good. It was a first round pick. I thought he was
good. I thought the deal was he was good, he was well,
it doesn't matter, but basically, yeah, he was injured. Somebody.
You know the storage wars, Some dude bought a storage unit from his that
he had in Michigan and the inventory list is insane and now he wants his
stuff back. But he had a twelve thousand dollars worth of gold sunglasses and
I don't mean gold power they were gold twenty thousand dollars and sneakers and a
playbook there like, so this dude flipped eighteen hundred on the purchase for fifty
k made TikTok videos and now the guy, well, hey, why not.
Sometimes you fall into things like, hey, speaking of nostalgia, where
where are you on this Caitlyn Clark thing? And breaking Pistol Pete's record.
There was a lot of people preaching that, well, Pistol p did it
and blah blah blah and only had two pointers and did it in less time
and all that good stuff. Well, look, I say, I like
the Kamarovich. You know it's from Raleigh, right, I don't know if
I didn't know that, Oh yeah, and uh, I may have some
of the some of the guys that played golf with that are you know,
long time like they play. They there was apparently a basketball court where they
all go play by five points and mayravich it's not there anymore, that's like,
and so they love they're very nostalgic about Pistol Pee. I don't know.
I'm not a big basketball guy, so I'm probably wrong. No,
you know what, And I will say this, I didn't watch a lot
of women's basketball until late last year. And now that she's played, I
mean, my father's and iowa alum too, so I kind of follow.
But it's fun to watch, remarkably better than the people she plays. He's
very out of it. She's great. Yeah, and anybody like because you
see these people on ESPN stuff saying like she isn't great because she hasn't won
a championship whatever, Like, right, they're out of there. It's like
watching what's his bucket from? Margentina is playing for the Miami team? Now,
MESSI like, you ever watch one of the you're watching play for the
Miami Like It's like he's playing children. It's just crazy, all right.
I just looked at the cl so let's just right, I know. But
yeah, a little rain today, mild in the mid upper sixties. Still
some showers tomorrow, most of that late we could get to the little bit
seventies, close to records, and then the cooler weather comes in late week,
back to normal or slightly below. But a good looking Thursday. You're
gonna wake up with big changes in the thirties. Will be in the fifties
later or back to the sixties over the weekend, though, so quick,
cool down, little wet weather, then we'll warm it back up. All
right, cool, cool, Thank you, sir, appreciate it. And
Jeff Bellinger next, Hang on going on, Jeff, Oh, good morning.
Casey, Stock's pulled back a little bit yesterday. Futures are mixed this
morning, S and P and NASDAC futures are a bit higher now. Futures
have been up and down. They're currently down eighteen points. Shares of Amazon
dot Com slipped yesterday, down less than two tenths percent in their first day
with the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Lowe's posted better than expected fourth quarter results
this morning. Comparable store sales decline, but not by as much as predicted,
and Lowe's posted a profit. The top forecasts. Demand for expensive manufactured
products fell more than expected last month. The government says orders for durable goods
fell a little more than six percent in January. In Casey, services like
Uber and Lyft get away with dynamic pricing. Now, Wendy's plans to find
out whether restaurant customers will go along. The chain's chief executive, Kirk Tenner,
says Wendy's is going to test surge pricing sometime next year. That means
customers could be charged more for some popular menu items during peak meal times.
Casey, I will tell you I brought that story up an hour and a
half ago, and it has been the most popular story all morning. Yep,
people have some thoughts. So I think it's going over like a lead
balloon. If if your experience is what other stations if. Yeah, Yeah,
it's kind of been the vibe. So what I didn't understand is like,
so the way he words it, does that mean during nonsurge it'll be
cheaper than it is right now? Because probably not right, No, probably
not, probably just just extra when when it's really busy. We shall see.
All right, thanks you, Jeff, appreciate it. Okay, have
a good day. All right, there you go, Jeff Bellenser Bloomberg News.
Yeah, I'm still getting I'm just getting banged with emails. So I
again, I you know, Jeff mentioned the rollout. They're talking literally next
year, so uh so next year, I guess we can all get outraged
again when they actually implement it. All right, Going back to Ross and
I were talking off the air, going back to the whole Caitlin Clark insanity,
just because we were a little short on time. I one of the
ways that I will evaluate an athlete. It is pure driven, right because
and especially when you're talking about men versus women because like, well, I
can't remember the coaches name from Tennessee, the woman coach who set the record
for most wins. People were arguing that it shouldn't be that, but I
feel like that's kind of horsecrap because you're it's against all the other D one
women, right and now some men, I guess. But but with Caitlin
Clark, like MESSI like Jordan back in the day and others, like you
know, when you're watching somebody who is so much better than everyone out there,
and whether it's D one college or professional, like even without looking at
the numbers, you know, right, yeah, but I specifically like because
you know how I feel about women's sports at WNBA, specifically like women wrestlers
too. But like, so, I saw this trending on Twitter while back,
and I looked at her numbers, like I might go, well,
who is this? And the numbers are astounding, right, Like, her
stats are ridiculous, And I'm after researching this and watching her, and you
know, I've come to the conclusion. Anybody who's saying that she isn't great,
right, he's either ignorant or racist. Yes, And this is where
I'm this is where I wanted to go here because you and I independently arrived
at this conclusion the same way that I saw Luca Donsick being evaluated when he
came over and started playing for Dallas. Even after a year in There are
a handful of sports reporters that have seemingly seem to have a real problem with
white athletes in especially in basketball. I saw it with Don Sick, and
you're absolutely right.
