Dude. I mean, I didn't watch the whole thing, but I I
kind of went court TV a little yesterday. I don't know if you did.
I mean, that probably doesn't necessarily comport with everybody's work obligations, but
thankfully it's right in, you know, right in my wheelhouse there watching what
was going on down in Georgia yesterday with uh and I'm sorry, I just
assumed. And this is what happens when you assume that because I had seen
the name before, I had heard said name pronounced by people who had the
name. I saw even this individual called that name without correcting people, I
just assumed that Fanny Willis's name was Fanny and not Fanny. But it's fawnny.
They're not Fanny like fan of the show, Fawny like the most delicious
deer meat. So just you know, if you need a mental reminder,
use the most tender and delicious, albeit smallest backstraps you can think of.
And there you go. Before you say, I'm a monster, have you
ever had veal? Shut up? Okay, watching her on the stand,
her friend, I guess former friend, probably her lover. How long they
were lovers, obviously is why we're here for this, and the woman herself
was It welled up a lot of thoughts for me yesterday. One when I
say useful idiots, that's who I'm talking about, not solely, but she's
in the She's in the group because when you go through and you look at
all of the individuals who are the you know, the the public facing the
faces of the Trump prosecutions, every single whether whether it's brag, whether it
is funny Fanny Fanny, Fon, Fon Fanny whatever, and uh and and
a handful of others. Letitia James up in the areas that's the other name
I was trying to think of. These hyperpartisan constitution ignoring monsters don't seem to
realize that if it those sideways, this is what happens. And none of
the people that put you up to this are going to be there for you
while you get absolutely decimated. You may late later, they may because this
is this is how it works. They they may talk to somebody who talks
to somebody and boom, you're a you're teaching law at some university, right,
so she may end up at like I don't know, right at University
of Georgia. But you know, you got other options in the state Georgia
Tech perhaps I don't know if they have a law program, but you get
the gist. But for now, uh, it didn't matter how many times
her boyfriend went up and literally met with Biden and Kamala Harris and charged them
two hundred and fifty dollars an hour, so we know that it happened and
gave, you know, pass along the marching orders. But ah uh,
they're not gonna be here for you. And that was full scale decimation what
we witnessed. And to top it all off, I didn't even notice it.
Thank God for women, because if it was just dudes analyzing this,
I don't know that anyone would have noticed her dresses did does look like it's
on backwards? Man? Are you are you? Did you see all this
insanity? How do I know? How was? How were some people on
Twitter able to convince me? Because here's what I do know about a woman's
dress. Why not a few things right, you know, savvy dude,
but but but not very much. I know that usually the zippers on the
back because every guy at some point in his life has heard, hey,
would you zip me up? And she'll turn around and then boom, you
do that, right. That's what we know about the and we know that
there's goodies underneath other than that. That's what we know. So when she's
sitting there in what looks like, you know, a standard dress that I've
seen women wear in my life, all my life, and that zipper straight
down there, I have questions. I don't know. But here's what I
don't know. Is it like if I put on a shirt and it has
any sort of deviation in the cut of the collar, which generally they do
on the front, there's a little more there, like you can feel it
on men's underwear boxers backwards, and you don't have the uh, you know,
the little the little freedom escape hatch up front. You feel that also,
they kind of sit differently. So I don't know how discernible it is
with the dress. And I guess I'm gonna have to ask one of my
female audience members did you see this? Because I have no I have no
way to prove whether it's true or not, because I you know, I
don't wear dresses. I've taken a few off, I've zipped a few up,
I've paid for a couple. That's about it. That's what I know.
So is it backwards, because that's what everyone's saying, and we haven't
even gotten into the testimony eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
I have to I need to get that question answered. And if you
haven't seen anything, just go on Twitter or go on anywhere, because when
she's in the stand testifying and you see that picture, you can I guess
you can judge from there. So please help me out on that front.
I have no way to research it ross and I don't know. Sorry,
But with that in mind, the testimony is the gift that keeps on giving,
because holy crap, that couldn't have gone worse. How do I know
it couldn't have gone worse? I just had to look over at MSNBC,
who, throughout their coverage of this, has been doing everything to say that
this is this is a miscarriage of justice. She's why is she on trial?
All of these things, and yet when watching what I watched and maybe
even you watched yesterday, MSNBC legal analysts were unable to arrive at another conclusion
than this. The legally is fool you. This is epic, This is
monumental. If things are going in the direction we think Fannie Willis lied to
the court. It's game over for her. She will be disqualified if they
had a relationship prior to when they represent it to the court. It's a
huge deal. I can't overstate it. And do you feel the same way,
Charles, Based on the testimony of what we just heard and we just
learned, Nathan Wade, who is the special prosecutor in this case, walked
in the courtroom. He is being sworn in to testify now about this issue
and his relationship with Fannie Willis. Let's listen, all right, and we'll
get to some of his audio and his buffering and all of that. So
here's the premise, or here's the series of events, just in a nutshell,
and then we'll get some more audio for you. So basically, she
disclosed to the court when asked a relationship within a certain time period with this
this this guy that she hired, and the disclosure was from after he was
hired up to and I'm not you know, up to I don't know what
the end day was, but the end date's not really that important. It's
the it's the start date. And because she represented to the court that it
was months after he was brought in to do this, and all of that
money funneled his way and and her own friend. And I don't know that
she ran and volunteered to do it, but she, when asked about it,
indicated that Willis was not being truthful and that she, as her friend,
not only knew about and had heard about, but it actually witnessed.
She testified to witnessing the two, you know, doing couple stuff, you
know, making out, kissing, grabbing, holding hands, you know,
all the all the stuff that people deeply in lust do when they're cheating on
their their spouse. And she testified to that, And it wasn't like a
month differential, It was like years, going back to twenty nineteen rather than
twenty twenty two or twenty one, I believe twenty one or twenty two,
whatever the date she said that was three months after he was procured, like
it was. It wasn't even we're not quibbling over. Maybe it was that
week, maybe it wasn't. We're talking like a year and a half.
That's her friend or was her friend. And then he comes in and he's
he's doing things like sitting there and being asked very basic questions, and he
does that thing where you kind of look up, you know, your eyes
go up, like you're, you know, researching in the vast library that
is your brain to answer very simplistic questions. And also she couldn't have come
across as less layery too. That's what's crazy to me, Like just just
listening to that woman testify the way that she testified, and I'll explain what
I mean before. Are you're racist, baba? But no, no,
no, no, it's not just it's not a vernacular thing, right,
that's that's not what it is. It's I can't believe somebody with a law
degree would say things like she was testifying and they're like, do you have
any proof that that's true, which is a i'm sure question that she has
asked a defendant before. And she said, well, it is because I
told you it's true. I said it's true. That's all the proof that
you need because a person has now in fact said it. And if that's
this, if I am a criminal defense attorney, and please, by all
means, any of any of you listening out there who might be attorneys,
I'm very curious your take as well. I tried to procure actually the attorney
that I wanted but he was he couldn't do the show today, so because
he's literally on a flight here in just a little while. So but when
you say something like that, that in your judgment, the simple statement of
fact by somebody who is, for all practical purposes, the defendant here that
if they say it, then it must be true. How does that comport
to literally every case that her office has prosecuted in Fulton County where the defendant
said I didn't do it and either testified to that or gave a statement to
police about that. Just wild man. The whole thing was wild, and
she could not believe what was happening, could not be like she was.
She was happy to feed the Christians to lions. But but when she fell
in, she was like, this ain't right. Listen. Just I'm gonna
play one cut and when we when we come back, we get calls and
and I'll get into the others. But listen to this. So your office
objected to us getting Delta records for flights that you may have taken them on
this a way Delta, Well, no, no, no, I object
to you getting records. You've been intrusive into people's personal lives. You're confused
you think I'm on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal
an election in twenty twenty. I'm not on trial, no matter how hard
you try to put me on trial. Right. Well, no, but
you kind of are right now, because this is literally a legal they're attempting
to discern from a legal perspective, whether the series of events that led to
where the Trump and Associates trial is that everything was done properly legally right,
because you know, that's the word we're looking for here, So in a
way, you kind of are. It was. It was an absolute roller
coaster, man. So again, here's the two things I need. Yes,
that's right, we're so cheap we're going to make you provided for free.
One is that woman's dress on backwards. I gave you what I know,
but I'd like to hear a woman's perspective on it, or maybe a
dude who likes wearing dresses. I don't care. I need somebody with dress
knowledge. Two, if she is sitting there on the stand and saying in
her judgment that somebody who is accused of something simply saying something that would clear
them without any evidence, just their word is good enough for her is that
impactful for cases she had previously tried. I don't just mean like the other
people charged with Trump. I'm sure they're just ready to go. But I
mean some guy who's I was convicted of robin a liquor store, who said
I didn't do it. Use the shaggy defense? Is that right? Does
that work? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four back in
just a few We're gonna get the calls in just a moment. Did get
a couple of responses via email and on Twitter. Sue says, first time
seeing picts of the dress, Yes, the dress is on backwards, absolutely
no doubt about it. And I, okay, again, I don't know.
And then somebody did I mean an email and said, dude, you're
telling on yourself saying you don't know how to take on or put or put
on or take off a woman's dress. Okay, sir, you didn't listen.
I'm gonna say this very clearly because I know you think you're funny,
but you don't know what you're doing right now or what you're talking about.
I said, I don't know about putting them on except for that, can
you zip me up? That? And the reason I say that with that,
you know that that voice is because I've never heard a woman asked me
to zip her up and it wasn't in a flirty or sexy manner because they
know what's up. So it's all I know. But to your other point
on the taking them off when your regional syndicated radio famous, you don't have
to like you just got your Your thing is you got to make sure you're
not in a room with a woman alone because they'll just take their own dress
off. It's crazy, man. So yeah, you don't even know constant
problem. All right, let get some calls. Here we go, Sorge,
you're up first, Go right ahead. Yeah. In our system of
law, if you're sworn, then your testimony can be believed. It's the
other witness that's sworn testified. To the contrary. It's up to the jury
to decide the original idea of the evidence had it. When you swear,
God will decide whether he knows whether you're telling the truth, and you will
be punished or rewarded after life. In the after I agree, I agree
with you, and I'm not. I'm not. Just let me just finish.
Oh, okay, okay, okay. Nowadays, it sis the pains
of perjury and so on. But originally the idea was you could not swear.
You could not have a person gives evidence if they did not believe in
a god that punishes lying, and so anyways, the jury is the one
that decides whether a sworn witnesses testimony is true. That's the job of a
jewelry in our system. Okay, all right, No, I agree with
you, sir, absolutely ross. Did you write that down at all?
So I have it for next time? I need that for Can I go?
I can go down? Okay, all right, Jamal go right ahead.
That was a ghetto hot mess our last No, he was just explaining
the how the witness stuff works. Oh no, I'm talking about miss Fanny
trapped house Willis, Fannie, Fanny, Fannie, her name is Fannie,
Jamal, Fanny, Okay, Fanny ahead, Jamal, tell your story,
Jammal, what's up? You don't like it? Oh, it'll bother me
because Jamal, look, Jamal, you really know, Jamal, really my
man is. But Fannie Willis got up there and she sounded like I don't
know. People. Remember a couple months back, they said that she was
dating drug dealers and one of the member of the gang. I don't know.
People remember that they said that Sanniel willis one of the men she was
prosecuted, that she was dating and messing with the rival gang leader and had
him shot and stuff like that. Well, when she got on that stand
yesterday, she didn't sound like a professional black woman that had graduated with a
doctor's degree in law. She sounded like a good old hood rat, trap
house woman. That's what she sounded like. For any black woman who graduated
from a major university. She embarrassed and you can tell, and I'm gonna
make some folks mad. She went to an HBCU because her whole dialect was
ignorant. She acts like she was still in the shs at today And I'm
gonna say this today when you look at how a lot of those people graduate
from HBCU, they sound just like her now before years. The older ones
who are older than me, like my un in lawn people like that.
You listen to the way they talked. They talked professional. They don't slang
g yo. I care a couple of work. I worked with a guy
who went to an HBCU as a sales guy for us. When I worked
in Minneapolis, went to an HBCU and he didn't sound he sounded like a
duty. I mean, if you if you listen to her and the current
fault and you talk the way she was carrying herself, she you can nobody
correctly. I mean, she embarrassed Howard University. That was the best they
could produce. She sounded like a diddle hood red hot mess. And if
anybody can remember about I think it was four or five months ago. They
brought up that she used to date drug dealers and gang bangers, where people
are like, oh, no, she's a professional state of trying to bring
this professional black woman down. When she got on that stand yesterday and she
said, oh, you mean why I lay my head at? Oh where
I laid my head at? I set Oh my god, because I was
listening to the whole thing. I'm saying, this is a trap woman.
This this this woman ran trap houses or something. I carry a couple of
jeans with me. Oh, we be grinding. That's my professional case.
See, that was a gid o hot mess. And when she walked into
the courtroom, she was you can tell she won violated because she came in
the courtroom. So now did you see that white woman who was her lawyer?
Look as you walked in there, like, oh my god, what
in the world are you doing here? Don't you know you probably thought her
dress was on backwards? So you know what as that? My wife said,
actually, there are some dresses, not many, but there are some
dresses that are made in the front with a zipper. But it holds then
so you can't see it. You can't see it at all, like it's
designed in a pedident. But my wife said, because I answer says,
yes, there are some dislike, it's very received. She said, but
if you could see the zipper then all that yet it was on the back,
And she said, but there are some dresses for women that are made
with the zipper the front. There are very very received. Yeah, I've
yeah, there's like there's there's so much to chew on on all of this,
but but the real ramifications are going to stem from things like, I
know sergeant gave us a breakdown there, but the larger point I was making
it obviously obviously a person's statement to police. It's in the Miranda rights right
where they're sitting there telling and they're like, hey, anything else they can
we'll be used against you. So I understand that. But you know she's
saying. What she said on the stand was that if somebody said it,
then that's all the proof that you need. That's the argument she made.
So it's a step beyond just hey, consider my testimony. She indicated that
her arguably her out her look, her outlook on this particular thing is that
that's good enough. And I think that's where she's gonna get herself in in
some trouble. So but for k see that judge that hold on case.
It is not what wasn't It wasn't just her who was a ghetto hotness.
That judge was totally spoutish because he let her. But y'all don't care if
she's a district attorney or not. When you go in that courtroom and you
sit in that side as a witness, you're supposed to Because he said,
you know, I'm gonna treat you as a Hotspyle witness. Don't you treat
me as a Hotspyle witness? And then he having to explain stuff to her.
That judge totally lost control of that courtroom yesterday and he allowed her room.
He will not allow a regular defended and that was wrong when she got
out of control because he he kept trying to make it. Oh you know,
y'all need to calm down. Instead of telling her Miss Willis, Miss
Fanny was calm yourself down. You are agent of this court. You are
the district attorney. And that is not how professional care for herself. And
the Trump just look and the Trump attorney finally got sick of her. Get
old miss and when he came up, Dan questioned her. He said,
listen, I want your head. He was admonished when she said that she
paid cash and we're going to get into that audio. Uh. He was
actually punished because he started laughing or something at his at his table. So
I looked, Jamal, I just I hear you all of that. I
just got I gotta go to break here. But I appreciate the call.
Okay, all right, we'll have fun in Argentina. Well hope, I'm
gonna call back before then before you go up there. That's that's like,
that's a month away and I'm I'm still planning. I'm still having to I
still think I gotta get airfare. So we'll see, we'll see or he
may be yeah, you know what that's thanks for the call or so you
know, something may happen to him, So who knows, that's just pandemonium.
That's probably why flies commercial now that I think about him. Right,
yeah, you gotta go, you gotta go full Pablo Escobar at that point,
are you willing to take an Avianca flight down versus Oh there was a
motor issue with the president's plane. Right, sorry, paranoia. Plus,
it's South America and there's a bit of a history. All right, it
is six forty five Case radio program. Hang on, hey, just an
fyi. So on Monday, you're not like what happened? Uh? I?
Ross is your favorite holiday? Right, President's Day? You're big fan
of Ross, big fan of the President. Oh yeah, no, we're
we're ready for Monday. Yeah, we're ready for mony. We have our
Hall of President set up. Oh wow to the backyard. No, they're
animatronic. Oh yeah, President's Days my passion, so looking forward to it
all year. Yeah. Do they all look like Hillary a little here and
there? Okay, all right, the taft one stuck in the tub.
Yes, it like Hillary. Oh their situation, Yeah, they're not just
standing there like a Disney Well that's amazing. So they're all doing stuff.
Is Lincoln killing vampires? What's he doing? A stake right through the heart.
I don't mess with the president, you know, So long story short,
not gonna be there or you know, with you in spirit. How's
that? Okay? All right, that's a thing that's happening. Just thought
you ought to know. All right. Back to Fannie Fanny, Fanny FAWNI
down there, Ian uh, Georgia, Uh, there were there was a
lot of interesting moments. I'm not going to get into all of it.
Her her lover slash coworker. I guess he was. He was basically useless
on the stand. He basically testified to the dates that she and him initially
told the court, which you kind of stuck there because that's what was told
to the court. It was her friend who testified differently and not with secondhand
knowledge, but things she actually witnessed. And also the reimbursement stuff. So
there's this travel and then reimbursement because he used he used his business account to
fund their travel on a few vacations, and from above board standpoint, because
it wasn't just personal funds personal funds, They're gonna want to see that reimbursed,
especially since your office is funneling money now to his office for the purpose
of, you know, prosecuting the former president. And if you come back
and go not we just use money. Which is where that statement that I
said it so it must be true emerged from uh, you you're gonna start
trendwater real quick, and she did. So let's get into a little more
of this. Uh, let's talk actually, let's talk about the vacation showing.
Did you and mister Wade go to New York? I've gone to New
York. I've gone to New York. Listen, by the way, how
lawyery Some of these answers are twice since I've been district attorney, it was
two or three times. I went to do a domestic violence thing there for
sure, and I was honored. And I went to the Apollo there.
Those are the only two trips that come to mind. I went, he
was not with me. So here's the thing, So say, no,
that's this is like it doesn't don't lawyers tell people to basically shut up if
they're on the stand, Like what if Boston Paul said something this morning?
I think he Yeah, I don't read his stuff, all right, sometimes
I do. Yeah, here we go. Yeah. So when Bustin Paul,
former cop, said, basically, if you had to testify, as
police do, and I'm sure that every police officer listening will has probably been
given this advice yes or no answer is very specific, don't sit there and
drag it out. She should know that, right because that's the prosecutor telling
police that stuff. I'm assuming, so as a prosecutor, she should know
that. If she never went with him to New York and that was the
question answer or asked, then that's the question you got to answer. And
you can answer it by saying no, I don't care that you went to
the Apollo Theater or somebody gave you a trophy. Also said that he was
a world traveler and been on many of the continents. Have you been on
many of those continents with him? Besides this one? Where's Belize? What
continent is? I'm not being funny. I don't know, you know what.
I'll even give her a pass on that. I don't think most people
know which continent Belize is in many of the because the Caribbean is, by
the way, just for the record, the island nations within the Caribbean most
of them are technically in North America. There's a few like Aruba, Granada,
Pray, Trinidad, Okay, but for the most part, most of
the Caribbeans in Central America. It's all of Central America. Panama's the southernmost
point of North America for that specific dividing line, and Belize is probably,
I would say, probably the one of the least. It's probably the least
known Central American country. And Belize is great if you like fishing. They
have on the Caribbean side, or rather it's all on the Caribbean for Belieze.
But on the Caribbean frontis they have this really shallow forever situation going on
and flat fishing and just hang out. I had a great trip there many
years ago. So and the headline it's it's a fun one. Here we
go. When Fanny Willis took the stand, her fury was precise and laser
focused. I just I can't, I can't. She literally testified to during
my the cash I had was money I took out of my first campaign and
I've had it. And she's talking about money she used as reimbursement, or
I should say, this is in the realm she's talking about how she mostly
deals in money. So, and this is in defense of the I made
a reimbursement and it was cash, which, by the way, is not
inherently illegal. However, when it's a reimbursement that's not just among friends right
where you're like, oh, we all went out to dinner and Mark picked
up the bill and my portion is this, and let me give him cash
next time I see him. Right, But you better trust your friend because
there's no evidence there. So when you're doing something and you want to create
a paper trail, either because your friend's a scoundrel or you're doing it because
you have you don't want there to be a veil of impropriety, then most
people would make sure that's documented. They would vend mo Mark in this instance.
Okay, just around the same page. Perfect, All right, here
we go. Everyone's sending me the dress thing. I got half of you
saying no, it's not because it's an Amazon dress and that's how it's supposed
to and then another half saying no, it's a dress from May Caesar.
So I don't know a little nicer dress and it is on backwards. This
is why I asked, I don't know, No, I don't wear dresses,
couldn't tell you. So yeah, all right, let's get it.
Let's get into and this is this is really the the doozy with Fannie Fanny.
And this is the one where I'm if I'm a defense lawyer who has
a client who was literally convicted well while protesting their innocence in Fulton County under
this woman's reign, I mean, do I have ground? I guess you
can always file stuff, but like in good faith, could a lawyer make
that argument? Well, if this is her philosophy, then why this I
don't know. I'm going to need a lawyer to tell me has he ever
visited you at the place you laid your head? So let's be clear because
you've lied in this this let me tell you which one you lied in?
Right here? Thank you lie right here? No, no, no,
no, this is the true judge and mister saying I thank you. We're
going to take five minutes back in fine. Yeah, so this is going
back to kind of what the caller was talking about there. So yeah,
that's laser focused Cornell Washington Post. Anyway, again, this is the this
is the juicy nugget coupled with the campaign cash stuff. Here we go.
So your office objected to us getting Delta records for flights that you may have
pay this way, Well, non nuther, I object to you getting records.
You've been intrusive into people's personal lives. You're confused. You think I'm
on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in
twenty twenty. I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to
put me on trial. All right, And then she goes and the lawyer
goes, you have no proof of any reimbursement. This is to wait for
the cash. Let me just have the transcript here the test And then she
says, the testimony of one witness is enough to prove a fact? Are
you telling me? I'm lying? The lawyer says, I'm asking if you
have any proof, and she said, the proof is what I just told
you. The witness in this case is her, And I guess technically she'd
have two because I didn't catch the part. But I'm assuming he stipulates,
No, he did. I did see that. Yeah, he stipulated that
she reimbursed in cash, but not all. Maybe there's a little discrepancy there.
Yeah, I mean dude, that thing was that was out of control
yesterday, that was that was a lot more riveting. I think people thought
what was going to be interesting. The most interesting is the uh, the
fact that you know, Trump had said he was going to go sit in
the courtroom and do this. But in reality, man, it was what
was happening in there anything to do with well, it has everything to do
with Trump, but in what you saw yesterday in that breakdown, nothing so
oh my gosh, wow, holy I did not see I did not see
this coming, h Ross, sit down? Please? Are you seated?
Are you ready? Here we go. Putin critic Alexei Nilvanni, who has
been in a gulag, don't know, literally, Yeah, a prominent Vladimir
Putin critic, also an opposition candidate, and like they basically they threw him
in. They threw him in jail for this essentially, and so he's just
been rotten away. Uh. Apparently he died forty seven, let's see,
oh man, yea. According to federal prison services in Russia, he felt
unwell after a walk on Friday and just lost consciousness and then he died.
And that's all I need to know, according them, Nivani was being held
at the IK three P. When I say Gulag, I'm not exaggerating.
That's where they This is where they stuck him. They stuck him in Siberia
in what's known as the Wolf or Polar It's called the Polar Wolf. And
you know, when if you were to ask people in Russia, hey,
which prison do you really not want to go to? Right this is one
that they would bring up, although I would argue all Russian prisons probably are
just beyond awful, but this one's a doozy. Navalny had previously organized anti
Putin protests right now. By the way, if you any protesting against Putin,
you go straight to jail because they're at war. So that's what's going
on. And this is at the very same time, by the way,
he oh yeah. And then and by the way, he also was poisoned.
He wasn't the guy in Britain that was poisoned. He was poisoned with
a nerve agent I think, and survived that. But it's screwed him up.
It's screwed up his parts of his body and muscle control and a few
other things. Obviously, it's a nerve agent meant to hell you, but
you know this is things are. Things are obviously backcrap crazy there. And
we just had that whole Tucker Carlson thing where people pretend it's all one thing
or the other, but in reality, nah, that dude absolutely greases his
enemies. Do I think that this guy went for a nice leisurely stroll in
Siberia in February and then it was like, I'm not feeling well, I'm
gonna go sit down, and then just slipped off into the Great Abyss.
I don't believe that for a moment the track record there, But you know,
things are so crazy. I don't know if you saw this. There
was a lot of coverage in with what the United States was doing with adjusting
or I can't remember the word they used, but it was it was so
corporate lawyery massaging I think was maybe they used massaging massaging the requirements for joining
the US military maybe being a little uh, a little more lax on some
stuff like schooling or IQ or any of that, and and and they got
that gets discussion because obviously, as we know, recruiting right now is in
the in the cellar, and so you gotta pump those numbers up The difference
is over in Russia. They just up the draft age and uh, folks,
depending on what their skill set is up to the age of seventy,
could find themselves in some capacities serving within the Russian military. That's absolutely terrifying.
Why is that terrifying? Today? Of Steven Segal? Oh it's he's
David and Dolf. Yes, Oh, hold on, how old is Dolf?
Oh he's sixty six. We could be fighting Drago and the greatest martial
artist of all time. I didn't sign up for this. Oh wait,
I'm getting reports that, uh Steven was just a cook. He's just a
cook. He's really not. We don't have a chance, dude, did
you see that? I don't even know what this piece of crap was called,
because he does all these straight to straight to videos. Did you see
the somebody took one of his last movies where he plays a three hundred pounds
scout sniper. What what do you out there know? Where the sniper could
be? Is that that giant, weirdly colored boulder. Yeah is, but
his gillie suit is a water tower. They won't see me, no,
so they they Now, I gotta find this damn thing. Just saying too,
I'll find it at some point, but let me just tell you what
it is, all right. So they went they watched the movie. Good
on them, glad I didn't have to Where he is this three hundred pound
one man wrecking ball quite literally a scout sniper. And they realized after analyzing
every scene that he's in. In every scene he's in, he's not standing
up. He's either laying down or sitting down or leaning leaning most of his
so his he there's no scene in that movie where his legs are supporting his
full Torso I mean he's a he's a sniper, So I mean he hides
in the shadows. Yeah, and he's you know, there's a lot of
the laying on the ground there, but you know he's not sniping in all
this. Plus he's morbid le obese, so there's Yeah, it's like when
Brando showed up to do Apocalypse Now and he showed up on set like three
hundred pounds whatever he was, Yeah, and it changed the character completely.
And then they're like, well, I guess we're the I might point out,
Yeah, they will film you in the dark at like a downward angle
and we'll never see you I mean that that created quite the the atmosphere obviously
for that portion of Apocalypse Now. I don't. But the difference is Apocalypse
Now is considered one of the best movies ever and I can't even remember what
is stupid straight to videos Scout three hundred pound scout snipe right. The difference
is it to Brando versus Steven Seagal? Yeah, wow, acting, Yeah,
yeah, I'm just dealing with the people who show up morbid, leo,
obese to to to the set. So but I mean, I've heard
of a lot of strange riders of people's contract and like my client, it
will do the we'll do your movie, but in the dressing room you have
to have an entire Golden Corral buffet and he won't stand up. Can you
work with that? And I guess they got the buffet and they shot the
movie and there you go. I'm sure it made tens of dollars that one
or the They did put some Russian propaganda video out where he was like going,
He's going to train like Russian soldiers. I saw a little snippet of
that and like these Russian soldiers look like they they live outside in Siberia by
choice. Do you know what I'm saying? These are there, they're their
gnarliest of gnarly military operators. And he's sitting in there going all right,
So here's a move I made up when I was doing above the Law,
and they're often to sit there through it and and watch this dude do the
slowest throw I've ever seen of somebody. And you know, and for those
of you going, well, yeah, obviously he's demonstrated no, no,
no, no, you have to understand one of the most prevalent Steven segall
problems with everyone he's ever worked in a movie with. Every every stunt person
and actor who has ever worked with him has said the same thing, and
many will not work with him, and that is there is no show,
right, He's not gonna show you stuff. There is no pulling punches anything.
He just hits you. Who did he? John leg Wizambo? He
beat the crap out of Leg Wizamo. I can't remember what movie they were
in, but and like was Amos, I'll never work with this psychopath again,
Right, That's not how it's supposed to work. Yeah, out a
movie set, right, he and he would tell him, He's like,
I can't I don't know any other way. I'm just these hands are deadly
right, and leg was Amos like you're siped out about I'm never doing this
again. Just crazy. And he's not the only one. There's a lot
of stunt guys or whatever, but lke was was Amos was the funniest because
he's just like because he's the one who said it's like, well, wait
a second, you're gonna go about half speed or what. He's like,
I can't. I don't know any other way, which, look, I
understand I have that problem too with my martial arts skill set. That's why
I don't train people. There's been such takedowns of his martial art as well,
Yes, tons of stuff on this where they're like, you know,
it would work if you ran at Steven Seagal at like full speed from like
two hundred yards away, you just run right at him, then yeah,
it might work. Otherwise, if you're in an actual fighting situation on the
street, it's not gonna work. Well, And how do we know this
because remember one of my favorite Sagall stories is he got he went into a
random bar in Ballard, California, and got the crap kicked out of him
and then they the newspaper reported that he got beat up and he tried to
sue the newspaper from some drunk dude in nowhere land. All right, we
got to take a break. Hang on calendar, he'll join us. We
got lots to get into joy chat with him. On a Friday, we
were where we talk. We're talking about the Russian the Russian military service and
draft a number being raised to seventy. And then Ross pointed out that Steven
Sagall is probably under seventy. And yes he is, and so's Dolph Langren.
And now we got to fight those two. That's not comforting, especially
with Steven Siagall's track wreck is the greatest martial artist of all time in his
own mind. And boy, there's some good Sagall stories. So somebody to
get mad at. Hold on, let me read this email as somebody who
has worn a gilly suit. He puts in quotes, thank you for not
using whatever vernacular you guys using the military, sir, But just go again.
I'm sure you use gilly. What am I talking about a gilly suit?
In service of this country? It is not okay to call what students
gall would wear a gilly suit? Maybe a Billy darp. That's fair,
but it's all about you know, subcfusion camouflage. So if it's doing the
same thing like Ross, Let's say you were out, you're a bad guy
for this scenario. Okay, you're a bad guy whatever, and you're just
strolling around and you just see let's say you see a baseball field right,
not being used, but you know, being protected from the rain. That's
just going to blend into the background. The fact that that is in fact
not a baseball field with a tarp on it, it's actually Steven Sigall probably
won't even cross your mind. So I understand what you're saying, sir.
But then I remember one other story real quick on this, and it didn't
have Steven Skull physically assault this dude, but like, he borrowed a friend.
I guess it was a friend an acquaintance. He borrowed a dude's house
because he thought it would be the perfect house to shoot a scene in one
of his movies in and guys like, yeah, absolutely, go ahead,
and they shot the scene and it was like, I don't know which movie
it was, but the scene was essentially Steven Sigall's in the house here come
all the bad guys. Okay, it's like the John Wick right in the
very first movie at the very beginning when he when he's home and he has
started his revenge and they send all those people in and he gets the coins,
all right, So that's what we're talking about. So he shoots this
this scene at this dude's house, people coming through the windows. The door
has literally been battering, rammed off of its mounting. It's laying there,
things are broken, the inside's destroyed. And he leaves it and the dude's
like, what did you do to my house? And he's like, your
house is in a movie now, it's famous. That's great right there by
the way, I'm filming a movie, and I thought, I think your
house is gonna be It's just I've got my little optic thing. Is it
like some sort of like small artsy European film? It? Uh, your
house is not in Europe. Your house is in America, but it is
art art. The guy's name is Art. Serial killer and a firebug and
on fire. He has a hold on He's got a problem. See,
he's murdered so many people. And the way that he murders people is he
bring brings them to the house and then he bashed. He literally picks it
very strong. He picks them up, and then he swings them like a
baseball bat against furniture in his house. And that's that's the way he murders
people. And sometimes it's in the kitchen with the dishes and he's swinging the
body into that. Sometimes it's in the living room and the TV and and
uh. But now he's got so many bodies laying around from his swinging murder
vest Uh, he's got to destroy the evidence. Uh, kind of like
the couple in Colorado with the uh crematoriums. Uh. So he gets a
plan together. And I don't want to spoil the movie, but let's say
he's able to cover up the evidence pretty good anyway, you cool. Anyway,
my house is famous now, so it's great. I would assume,
like if Hollywood is gonna come, you know, because they wanted to use
my mom's house for that movie The Place Beyond the Pines, which is filmed
Disconnected, the right Whastling movie. Yes, and she turned on folks,
haven't heard this as not? You didn't just make this up. This is
the thing. No, they wanted to use my mom's house in the movie.
My mom was like no because she didn't want people to know what the
inside of the house of Lake because she's worried that people are going to break
in and know where to go in the house. Right, So they were
save where the vault is and all that. But they had a discussion about
this sort of stuff. And I would assume coming from this conversation that if
they're going to use your house right afterwards, it would either be the same
or they would improve things in the house. Yeah. No, they went
the other way with this, Okay, because because he's a lunatic. Yeah,
it's like if yes, yes, yeah, among other things. It's
like if the house they used in the Christmas Vacation right at the end,
right, like it basically was kind of that scene but more and then they
left it, right, That's what I'm saying. If you're how if that
was an actual house or in Christmas Vication where they break in with the swat
team at the end, you would assume when you came back to your house,
it wouldn't be destroyed. Yeah, No, this one was, and
they and they also wrecked a vehicle of his I think in that that wasn't
in the movie, and like, what the hell happened? We had people,
we had a movie that was filmed trying to remember the name of the
movie. When I was a kid, we had a We had quite a
few things where people come out and film in Wyoming there even though Legends of
the Fall was primarily shot elsewhere, they did do a lot of filming for
the scenes with the big panorama scenes that was in Wyoming. And I've spoken
on the radio, like when I was in when when they literally had the
actors come over that was such a big deal. But one of the guys
I went to school with, Joey Harriet, Harriet's they had that family was
connected. I don't even know fully what it was like. They had to
deal with Dodge. They get to like test trucks and stuff. It was
crazy. But also they had movie studios film not once, actually a couple
of times, but the one I remember is they had a movie studio want
to use part of their property for a film. I think it was Aliens,
but it wasn't the famous alien movie from there Close Encounters, and they
needed They liked their house in Main Barn, but they didn't like their out
out barn. You may have a barn out in one of your fields,
it's nowhere near you are, uh. And so they leveled the one they
had and they built this badass barn. I mean it's like it was nicer
than any barn we had, and it was nicer than any bar in the
Harriets had, nicer than anything anybody had. It was crazy nice and new.
And when they got done filming, they just left it and now that's
theirs. And you're right, that's how that should work. Unfortunately for my
movie, ross limited budget, very important story and we're just gonna have to
but you're gonna but your house is gonna be famous, so probably won't be
a problem. Does that make sense? Okay? Good? All right?
Seven forty four Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. He's standing by, How
you doing, sir? Doing? All right? Casey? How are you?
Oh we're just trash talking Steven Sigall. What's he gonna do about it?
Oh? He's still around? Well think so Russia they need they need
body. So they now you can get drafted up to seventy h and we
realize because the gulls now he lives over in Russia and you got Dolph Lundgren
sixty six. Yeah, like now I have to fight these guys. And
Steven's call is the greatest martial artist of all time, just ask him.
So yeah, stepping it up. It sounds like no, but he put
a movie out, and somebody realized that during the entire straight to VHS movie
he put out, Uh, he never he's never standing up. He's always
sitting or laining down or doing yeah or even just leaning. But he's never
fully supporting his n and I think that's hilarious. So yeah, old age,
I guess, huh, you know, you know, just playing the
trip pack in the ponchos. That's the way it's going to be. If
they even get the race in on Sunday. Doesn't look good for NASCAR fans,
So we'll leave with that. If they say fans, so it's not
all about you, but it is all about you, go ahead, Yeah
a little bit, right, Yeah, just a little bit first time.
So we'll just anyway, and leading up to that, some colder were coming
in here for at least a part of the weekend. It's a long weekend.
I think by the holiday on Monday, we'll be back up near sixty
degrees and that's where we'll be today, a lot of clouds, upper fifties,
uh, maybe some low sixties around and then tonight, as the front
comes through, the winds will start to pick up. It'd be quite breezy
to windy Tomorrow. Now in the morning, will be in the a little
bit of forties, but we'll only make it near fifty. If anything,
we may fall short in many spots. There could be a little light rain
with the front coming through, but not much and it'll be done before most
people wake up, so we don't have to worry about precipitation. But it's
probably a heavier jacket tomorrow, especially with that breeze around Sunday morning, even
colder, mid to upper twenties. And now the mountains it'll be in the
teens. So if you'd have a weekend trip for the long holiday into the
mountains of doing some skiing, they might get some snow in some of the
higher peaks tonight, but it's gonna be chilly on Sunday morning, and then
we get near fifty in the afternoon, then close to sixty on Monday,
and then by Tuesday Wednesday we're back in the sunshine. Temperatures back into the
sixties. I think a real nice run starting Monday through at least Thursday of
next week with a warming trend. Who knows, we might even be seventy
degrees for the triangle by Thursday. Try it probably stay in the upper sixties.
So look cold shot. But again, really, this cold air all
winter hasn't really had a lot of hangtime. These fronts come through, hangs
around for a day or two, then it's gone, and it looks like
that will happen again late next week. We'll get another cold from come in.
It's colder for a day or two, then it looks like it'll warm
up. So oh wow, you know nothing. I just want to DoD
bed rot all weekend, right, Hey, I do not have a problem
with that, and some of us might actually be doing it. Did you
know what that meant when I said bedrotting? Well, I'm making an assumption,
so I don't really know. If I just say, like, lay
in bed all day do nothing? Yes? Oh wow, look ross,
how hip is ray? No problem with that? Lingo? Is that hip?
I have an article here with like the new words and that's one of
uh we do another one next hour. See if I'm hipper yeah, and
uh you want me to tell you what it is? Or sure it's boobne
boobnee boobne. Okay, all right, have fun and I'm on googling too,
company computer and we'll talk to you now. Yeah, no, no,
no, go ahead. You're off all week. Next week they can't
fire you, so thank you, Ray, and uh, we'll be back.
Hang on. You don't have a sense of humor and that's going to
be a problem. So you need you need to get one, or or
you need to appreciate others around you who do. Some guys send me a
very angry email over. I've got several Dolph Lungren most positive, but one
guy not positive. Oh he's named Mark too. Oh yeah, everybody's name
Mark today the real Marks. And then the guy made the US for a
scenario earlier. All right, Dolph Lundgren isn't Russian, you guys, He's
Swedish. And I believe he's a US citizen. Yeah. Some others did
tell me, hey he got a citizens Uh, he did get US citizenship,
but they just said it politely. Yous are are very rude. Dolph
Lundgren is not actually and Steven Sagall are not actually going to be fighting in
the Russian military. You understand that, right, It's a joke based on
stupid stuff. Steven Sagall might is training some of them. It's a Drago
reference. You gotta you just got to expand. I don't know if it's
a seriousness thing or what, but I think he might have gotten his citizenship
after the fight with with Balboa, right, I think, I think afterwards,
because I remember the speech that Balboa gave at the end of that fight
in the Soviet Union. Yes, you know, if I can change,
we all can change. Everybody can change. Remember in the in Gorbachev or
the Gorbachev clone they had there wasn't the real Gorbachev, but he had the
thing in his head, stood up and clapped. Yeah, he was busy.
I think after the fight, I think he might have gotten his citizenship.
But his loyalty has always been to the Soviet Union. Do you think
that's one of the yep? Okay, well, look uh using the Fannie
willis uh rules. You said it, so it must be true. I
have no way to push back on that. So there you go. That's
the truth, sir. Listen to Ross. He's got you all right.
It's a guy named Mark send me. Some guy named Mark sent me an
email that said, f Mars. I don't know what do you mean that,
like screw those guys? Or do you mean that in some perverse way
that I probably shouldn't I probably shouldn't even mention this. That just made me
laugh. A guy named Mark who's mad at guy's name Mark, perfect,
sir, thank you very much. And another guy not named Mark h sent
me kind of a similar email, So we appreciate that Mark's Tom. This
is Tom, Tom says Mars, suck the fun out of everything. Ross.
You know who we need I think we need uh to go ahead and
figure this out, Serge. Can we get Sarge back on the phone and
have him he can sort this Mark issue in this whole Dulph laningridden issue.
Sometimes it's a joke, sir so, And I'm let me just warn you.
Coming up in the next segment, Pete Calender mid Days WBT Charlotte,
my friend, our radio buddy, We're gonna chit chat. We're gonna,
you know, probably talk about the Fanny fawnny stuff for a little while,
a few other things, and there is a chance a joke will be made.
I'm just letting you know full disclosure. I'm like one of those annoying
pre rolls on classic movies where they're like, h this was I know,
this is hurtful. This is so hurtful, and it's like, well,
yeah, it's a movie about this this thing and it was made back in
the day, and I you know, I understand the context. No,
no, no, no, no, it's hurtful. Here's a college professor
to spend five minutes explaining to you why it's hurtful, and now go watch
your movie. So I'm not gonna be that. I'm I'm just telling you
there might be a joke there, sir, So buckle in and a conversation
with Pete Calender will include yes, the Fanny Fanny stuff which will never not
be funny, Mark Pete Calender Middays WBT and on the iHeartRadio app. How
you doing, sir? What's going on? Duh? I'm all right,
okay, all right, yeah, I think you think could you remember could
you pause in quiet contemplation for about twenty seconds? Giant meme opportunities can be
created in your testimony. Dude, what was that? I'm sorry you were
on the air. I just realized that you were on the air for part
of that, so you couldn't pay full, full, full attention to that
train wreck. But uh no, no, no, I was. I
was. I took the day off yesterday, did you. Oh I didn't
know. Well, I had to go back in for uh for a doctor's
appointment from the whole You on drugs right now? No? Well, I
mean yeah, like I take I take a daily regiment. You know Michael
Jackson too. Yeah, Michael Jackson took a daily regiment, right, So,
yes, I am on some drugs. Okay, all right, well
all right, that's that's me, not a lawyer asking the question incorrectly.
So so you did get to watch it, So I did. It was
it was amazing and terrifying. But you know what, that's that you arrived.
Thank you for saying that, because people were ignoring the part where that
woman has so many people's lives in their hands, right in her hands.
But go ahead, please, no, like this is this, this is
the district attorney for Fulton County, Atlanta. And I'm sitting there the whole
time just watching this, like, oh my god, she is such a
petty and sarcastic person, just just consumed by this personal animus and this is
the lead prosecutor in Atlanta. Oh my god, Like is she making decisions
based on similar attitudes? Yeah, I was, Yeah, it's that would
be terrifying. I have a look, I mean, my brother lives down
in the Atlanta area, and like, holy cow, I would be I
would be very, very concerned if I lived in this jurisdiction. Did you
have you seen, by the way some of the I know, the Chicago
and obviously Kansas City's in the spotlight right now. When we get into not
tough on crime discussions, New York gets a lot of discussion. In Atlanta.
I was reading an article a few weeks ago. There's like twelve hundred
houses where people just went in They're like, this is my house now,
you know, like the Captain and Captain Phillips and yeah, so it's so
bad that they're not just squatting them, they're converting them to things like strip
clubs. And there's like twelve they said, there's like twelve hundred of them,
and like there's no from her office, nobody wants to do anything.
So yeah, you know, it was extremely terrify. Fine, and and
well it's funny to sit there and I decide whether her dress was on backwards
or not, like, I'm sure you all that insanity, uh, And
I still don't know. And I've I've asked women in my audience and they're
divided, so you may have to do the same thing. I'm just not
I'm not an expert in putting women's dresses on, So I am curious.
Also because I could not tell was the jury present for this or was this
I don't know. I think this procedural. Outside of that, I thought
so too. I couldn't tell because I'm sitting there, like if I'm a
if I'm a juror, and I'm watching this, this is this is not
going well for Nathan Wade and Sammy Willis. Well, I'm sorry, who
Fanny? I'm sorry who me? I'm sorry who Fannie? You mean?
Is that who you're referring to? Fannie? Yeah? I call her,
Okay, everybody did, and everybody does. And I subscribe to Ross and
I are talking off the air, and I think that it was Fanny until
this and now it's yeah, right, but yeah, it's like a Lea
June lagourne thing hit, although much more annoying. Yes, right, yeah,
well, I mean I think f a n I uh, it's Fanny
and uh. It also allows me to brand it with the song by the
band. No, that's that's under that's understandable. Take a load off,
Fanny, take a load for free. Yeah, yeah, I got your
reference there. Yeah, and I don't know, I guess I'm trying to
think of there's a Fawn reference. Yeah. No, so you could just
yeah, you could just start off with the you know, you play the
you play the music, and then that's your you know, that's sort of
the signal that we're getting ready to talk about. Right. But look,
here's the problem with the line in that song. This is why I didn't
do it again. Go ahead from the bank, take a load off,
Anny, take a load for free, and you put the load right on
me. Yeah, yeah right, nothing nothing in the in the brain going
nah, that might be considering what the discuss nothing, okay, yeah,
no, why what are you thinking? Nothing? I don't I'm not thinking
anything. I'm innocent here, so I have no idea. But but but
on a more serious note, when when when I say useful idiots and I
don't know if you use the term, I'm sure you do. I do.
It's a very useful Yes, this is the upper echelon of it.
And it's not just it's it's not Fanny Fani, it's not her guy,
it's not uh Leticia James Bragg. It's the totality of all of these useful
idiots from a Democrat strategy standpoint, uh to go out there like they're they're
gonna let her burn and then maybe three years down the road they'll give her
a DEI or position, or she'll get a probably get a college at a
college teaching law. Right, that's how word this. But they're using they
they're using these folks to go ahead and get Trump and as evidenced by the
fact that he went up literally to the White House and build them for it.
And this is what it looks like at the in the upper echelon.
It doesn't mean there's not useful idiots down below that are not high profile,
but this is the public version of it. So please watch. Am I
wrong with this? I don't think no. I mean I think the important
thing that we all have to keep in mind here is that they got the
mug shot mug shots right, because that's the important thing. Do you think
if you're if do you think you're one of the those not not not not
the Trump associates obviously their lawyers have to be like, this is amazing,
let's we're gonna start filing stuff. But if there's somebody convicted in Fulton County
in then in that exchange where she said I reimbursed with cash, yeah,
not even the campaign part, but I reimburse with cash, and the lawyer
goes, well, do you have any evidence of that? And she's like,
I said it, that's evidence. Like if you're a lawyer in Fulton
County and your clients said they didn't rob the liquor store. I mean,
but it's not just evidence she's claiming, it's it's it's proof, which right,
you know, evidence is one thing like your statement to police when you're
drunkenly arrested for mooning people at the whatever, right on. Anything you say
could be used against you, right and understandable, but it doesn't mean it's
correct. She's implying that not only is it that, but it's also correct.
So it's evidence, but it's proof more importantly, and if that's her
standard, her thinking, I'm not a lawyer, Pete, I don't know
if you are, I'm not okay, but like I all of a sudden,
I'm thinking, from a lawyer perspective, it's going to be a busy
day filing, right, Yeah, I don't. I'm not sure because you
know, I'm watching this and I'm I'm I'm doing stuff, you know,
moving around the house whatever, and like and I'm just listening to this and
like, first off, I don't understand why they thought this was a good
idea to have her or she thought, because like the lawyers were trying to
prevent her from taking the stand, and she just like Waltz is in and
like I want to take the stand, and I'm not. Yeah, like
I'm not sure, Like did you think this was going to go differently?
And then she gets up there and she is, oh gosh, I mean
she's she is every she's every bit the caricature, you know, yeah,
and yeah, and the stuff that she's saying, oh, I have all
this cash that I keep in my house, and she can't answer, she
can't answer simple yes or no questions to the point where the judge has to
take a break, right, the judge has to take a break to basically
like reset, because she's so combative, and he's like, I'm going to
strike your testimony, and like, this is the judge that's trying the larger
case. So you're you're showing your butt in front of this judge who is
trying the larger case. And I'm wondering, are you trying? Are you
trying to get this case? That's that's whet of. Then that that's the
the analysis that I'm going to be following I today. Obviously we saw some
of it yesterday, because here's my larger question, and I want to talk
about two other things. Do you think that not just with in regards to
her and her colleague slash traveler your boyfriend, do you think that this does
or undoes something within the larger case? Is it that impactful or is it
as simple as swap them out, here's two other prosecutors, we go forward.
I think that's what will happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
mean, and that's you know, the whole time I'm watching yesterday and I'm
thinking, okay, so what you kick these two off? Then what well,
you're just going to have some other prosecutors that take over, right,
right, So I'm the most boring individual, But would you want to be
that guy. No, well no, no, but if the you know,
the case is already being tried, so I don't think. I don't
think it ends. You know, worst case scenario for them is that they
get uh you know, they get censured, they get penalized somehow by the
judge, the local bar, maybe they get disbarred. I don't know.
But I mean if they perjured themselves, if they are lying to the court,
then yeah, they get tossed off the case. But the case still
proceeds. So I don't so really like and I hate this tournament. At
the end of the day, I don't know what material difference it actually makes
if the uh you know, if the people who are accused of doing the
things they're accused of, like the grand jury came back with an indictment against
them. So right, but the grand jury was a clown too, remember
the four woman doing the interviews. Yes, yeah, I mean it's like
it's just a clown car. Everything is a clear car down there, man,
it absolutely is. And so I suspect that's why it will proceed.
All right. Well, look I was gonna this. So this weekend,
we got a three day weekend because Presidents Days Monday. Oh, I'm working.
Oh okay, but you just had a day off, so I don't
feel bad for you, but I did. I swapped it out. I
had yesterday off because I had to go back to the doctor. Yeah,
Pete, I feel bad. Man, you don't sound good, and I
feel bad dragging you up for an interview this morning. I mean, you
sound good, but thank you. I don't want to be like making you.
How come I can't come poop on your sidewalks anymore? That was what
I was gonna do. I was gonna spend three days in the Greater Solid
Area defecating on the Oh I got now, okay, all right, yeah,
but it's not a crime anymore. So now it's not an act of
protest, and it's very sad for me. I wanted to make a statement.
You, well, you can because the criminalization is a last resort.
Oh okay, right, explain so right, so if you like, they
don't want to actually have to do the enforcement, right, they want to
engage first. So if you're pooping, if you're paying, uh, if
you are taking advantage of yourself, let's say is that now that's okay?
Like yeah, yeah, yeah, you're touching yourself in ways for self satisfaction.
Right, you're doing you're doing this in a Yeah, you're doing that
in a public setting. They would prefer to engage with you then to incarcerate
you, right right, but they will, but there is there is that
there is that option available. That was the whole point. Ah, okay,
all right, So maybe maybe I misunderstood. So I can still be
a rebel and uh come down and do that as an active protest. And
there is some teeth because it made it sound like I can just go around
pantsless, Yeah, dropping from one end and pleasuring from the other. Uh
yeah, by myself. Right, it's not afling, and uh it would
I just have a great time in uptown. Yes, oh I think yeah,
No, I think you're still allowed to do that. Because they wanted,
yeah, they wanted to be very clear, uh that this is just
sort of the last resort, you know. So, so I suspect,
especially if you're coming to town like you would not as far as I know,
you don't have a record with Charlotte Mecklenberg police, right, no,
yeah, so you would be new to them. Uh, and so they
would not have a you know, you don't have a long rap sheet of
doing this stuff, so they would probably that they would probably like tell you,
you know, please stop, okay doing that thing. That's good because
what we've seen as cities who've gone soft on this issue, it hasn't you
know, it hasn't broken down to the point where they're like putting maps out
of it or anything, right right, No, No, well I don't
know. There's no map that anybody has developed yet. There's no app or
anything like that, so we don't have that. However, I mean there's
a there are some people who have essentially declared certain areas to be theirs.
Okay, yeah, well it's sort of like chance chop that jazz and we're
to go in and manifest my destiny by panciless destiny and sees their land.
So looking forward to it. All right, man, I got it.
I'm up against it. It's been interesting. It's been interesting. So what
neighborhood? You don't stay on the air, But let's just say, I'm
gonna have a little present for you too. So fourth ward right there right
there on the sidewalk, all right, peple ward, Yeah, fourth board,
that's where you want to be. Appreciate it, all right, hang
on we'll be back. People are just sending me all the Russians they don't
want to fight. I think some of these guys are dead, so you're
probably okay or over the age of seventy. Uh there. Our Secretary of
State, Anthony B. Lincoln has responded to this report that the chief a
political opponent critic what have you? In Russia? Excuse me? Alexi Nalvani
reportedly died. He was forty seven. He was in a Russian gulag for
what did he do? Oh? Yeah, he held a protest and he
just went for a walk and just died. And our Secretary of State has
issued a statement and he's like Putin murdered him. So yep, probably that's
probably accurate. So there is a little bit on that breaking story this morning.
But is anybody questioning that they greased this dude? He tried to kill
him once with a nerve agent. Guy didn't die, but it screwed him
up pretty bad. Anyway, A little sidetracked there, and then I was
thinking, Ross, would you rather fight Zukov or if or no, no
Koslov? That's what I'm thinking of, uh from a Russian wrestler standpoint.
And then what's the is Itzlkov? Who's the one I'm I'm not thinking of
Nikolai Volkov. I'm not going to fight Volkov because he turned baby face at
the end. Oh, do we not have to fight him anymore? He
did? Yeah, he ended up like, you know, taking the American
flag and waving it, waving it around. Yeah did he mean it?
He did? Yes, Oh he did. Okay, all right, so
we have to fight him. Yeah. It was a big part of his
storyline. He like became like, you know, he loved America because he
used to get in the center of the ring and like and sing like the
Soviet national anthem and that that chest yeah yeah, yeah yeah. And then
Zukov or Zukov was a different dude. There's actually I was doing some research,
very important research. Yeah, here we go Volkov. Oh yeah,
look at that absolutely. Okay, all right, I had I you know,
I had forgotten that he did all that at the end. Uh.
And then crew chef was it crusher crew chef? I think that dude was
from Greensboro or something. Looking it up. Uh, the Russian. I
wouldn't want to fight as a Russian bear on cocaine, yeah, or a
Russian bear on cocaine was Siberian super aids. Don't forget about the the famous
boxer Soda Popinsky, which weren't there other Russians in the In Tyson's I think
you're thinking about bald Bowl, he was from Istan bull oh, Istan Bull
bull Bull. He felt Russian, though, didn't he? More so like,
who's the guy? Would ziparay? Who do the like trans transport himself
around? The guy that's that's the great tiger and he's from India, India
right or something? Yeah, but like I got that he covered the representation
there Soda Popinski, which doesn't even make any sense. How was soda poppy
because originally in the arcade he was soda Drunkenski, but when they brought it
to home consoles, they felt that was not appropriate for children, so they
changed the vodka that he drank in the corner to soda pop Wait, who
goes to arcades? I mean it was the eighties, so everyone everyone went
to arcades, and you know what, that whole time, nobody realized that
video games were making them gay. Can you believe that? You know here,
this whole time we thought video games would make you mass shootings right,
violent, you play violent video games, you go murder people. But I
was reading yesterday and we talked a little with Stephen Ken about this. But
I was reading this article yesterday and it's over. Yeah, here we go
this NBC news under two percent of console video games include LGBTQ characters or storylines,
despite the fact that seventeen percent of gamers are LGBTQ. Now that is
a number from GLAD. Ironically, GLAD has a history, and that is
a history of overestimating the percentage of the population versus when they actually try to
pull people on this. Their argument has always been that people don't say it
because they don't want to, and I'm sure there's some instances of that.
There's also probably instances of people saying that they are to screw with you.
But seventeen percent is even far in excess of what GLAD says is the percentage
of the population. Right, they go high, they go, I think
it's like seven to ten percent. So this is well in excess, And
I'm left with no other conclusion than video games make you gay? Or am
I conflating causation there? ROGI you play a lot of video games, their
numbers are completely out of whack. They said that less than two percent of
gaming to no, less than two percent of games have an LGBTQ character,
which is completely wrong. That number is way higher, character or storyline,
way higher. Yeah, anybody who's played a recent video game in the past
few years know that's wrong. Anybody who watches my twitch stream knows that's wrong.
It's there's gonna be a gag and there's nothing wrong with it, but
there's gonna be a gay character in nearly every game near Harry Potter. Didn't
Perry Potter have like a shop person, Yeah, the guy that owned the
pub and Hogsmeade I think it was at Three Broomsticks or whatever was Trance and
then they redid the the the rest was the rest of us. Well,
they did the movie now too, but no, the last of us,
the last of us. Yeah, with the second one, they're like,
all right, so here's what we're gonna do. I'm telling you nearly I'm
gonna murder the characters people love and then make it all about another person.
And oh, by the way, LGB the same with the character creation screen.
Now, mostly all games when it comes to the character creator, if
you're making it playing like an RPG and you're choosing what sex you want your
character to be. It's gonna say male, female, or non binary.
And not only that in the character creation screen, but if you choose male,
you can choose to have female parts. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
So I don't watch. I watched you on stream to doing that for
like an Astronaut character if I came right, Yeah, Starfield Ross went with
alien DNA. So I don't know what you're dealing with their But so I
don't know where the numbers are coming from. Wow, it's somebody that hasn't
played a video game in the past five years. Well, they probably didn't
because they didn't want to be They didn't want to have the video game make
them change their sexual orientation, which is the only conclusion I can draw.
Or your theory that their numbers are crap, I guess would be the other
option. So I don't know, but yeah, that's that's what they're throwing
out here. All right, let's get raced age akin here because we have
our little pop quiz on words and stuff. So we have the words,
the slang words that you need to know, and uh, you knew one.
I was actually a bedwording, and you're like, boom, I got
it. Although you're right, it kind of you kind of delineate what that
might be. All right, So bob me boobne was the one I tasked
you with. Do you know what that is? Is it an e at
the end? It's just any the word boob And then I, you know,
I was almost afraid to kind of you know, put it out there
on the web, so I really didn't do the search. But coward.
Yeah, yeah, it's just it's just uh, it's just acne on on.
Oh yeah, that's not oh instead of acne it's right, oh what
they did there? Yeah, but somebody would really use that though I could,
I could see like the bedrot, but somebody actually come up and say,
hey see my bubney, right, I think I make a point.
Yeah. No, it's just down creeped out a little. So there's that.
That's all. What else? All right? Hold on? Lem getna
there? Okay, this one's great. The Bechdel test, the beck like
B dell b E c h d E L test M maybe thinking belching.
I don't know, is it no? No, no, it's a measure
used to chart the representation of strong female presence and works of fiction, documenting
whether work includes at least two important female characters who talk to each other about
anything besides men. Right, yeah, for me, women only came up
with that, right yeah, right, hard tough ones thought of that,
right, I three hard one. I'm sorry, Yeah, that was difficult.
That was hard. It could make sense of that. But anyway,
let's see, I'm gonna give everybody some colder weather short term, but quickly,
as we've had practically all winter, we get these little cold shots,
they go away. A lot of clouds have already started to come into the
area near sixty today tonight in the little mid forties, and then the front
will come through tomorrow tomorrow promised, there'll be noticeable changes into Tomorrow night and
Sunday chill your weather, upper forties to maybe some low fifties tomorrow, but
augusty breeze, uh, maybe a rain shower before eight or nine o'clock in
the morning, and then that's it. And then in the twenties Tomorrow night
and Sunday morning, so colder there for Sunday services, Harley, sunny in
the afternoon, upper forties, low fifties again. But then as we get
into Monday if you have the holiday off, lots of sunshine, sixty and
well into the sixties for the rest of the week before the next cold front
gets here later in the week and we probably do it all over again,
like we get the front, showers, colder a couple of days, and
then warmer again. That looks like the pattern are in at least for the
next seven to ten days, so we'll probably average or above average numbers that
we will below, but again little chiller, maybe a little different attire for
the beginning of the weekend before we start seeing the milder weather come back.
Since I've been saying it, Daytona does look like for the race, first
race of the season, there's going to be rained. I mean, there's
a small chance the rain pushes south, but right now it doesn't look likely.
Some of the models say ninety chance of rain all day. So we'll
see. Okay, you know, send pictures. No cap, that was
busting. I just want you to know that. Okay, that was busting,
wasn't it. Yeah, yeah, pretty good. I'm not even explain
that sea a week all right, there's very stagic and coming up. Jeff
Bellinger Hang on Bloomberg update Now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, how you doing.
What's up? I'm doing well. Care Happy Friday. As stocks did
well yesterday, advancing once again and continuing their recovery from Tuesday's big losses.
Futures though just a mix this morning. S and P and Dow futures are
both lower than ASDAK futures or up eight points. Neither of two new reports
just in from Washington were as expected. There was a bigger than expected jump
and wholesale level inflation last month. The producer price index rows three tenths one
percent in January, and there was a big drop in housing starts at the
beginning of the year. January groundbreakings for houses and apartments were down almost fifteen
percent from December. A lot of bosses have a common problem, the Friday
lull. It's no secret that productivity dips as workers looked toward the weekend.
Getting more out of Friday's has become more important to a lot of employers since
the pandemic because employee engagement overall is down. Some new catchphrases being used in
hopes of reinvigorating the last workday of the week. Flow. Fridays focus Fridays.
Both those terms refer to a ban on Friday meetings. At companies with
Flex Fridays, employees get an occasional long weekend. The market for weight loss
drugs is getting more crowded. The chief executive of Novartis tells Bloomberg his company
is looking to compete in the obesity market. He says Novartis is designing some
next generation treatments. Microsoft looking for ways to boost sales of its video games.
The software Giant will make four exclusive Xbox games available for use on Nintendo's
Switch device and the Sony PlayStation. Casey like this story. Many of the
nation's fire departments still send crews to rescue pet cats from trees, but not
all departments can answer such calls. The Wall Street Journal says this has created
a side business for some skilled tree climbers and arborous When tree climber in Ohio
set up a service called get Meal to hear, he says he's gotten about
fifty fee lines out of trees so far. Casey, No, I saw
this, actually, and I was excited. I actually I started the first
North Carolina operation. So there you go. Of a clever name like that
for it. Yeah, Yeah, the cat will be out of the tree,
is what I will guarantee. Okay, nice slogan. No, well
that is the slogan, but that's also from a legal perspective. All that
I'll promise, I say. Okay, it will no longer be in the
tree. Okay, okay, all right, I get it. All right.
Do you have a good weekend. You have a very good long week
off, and we'll talk to you soon. Okay, okay, take care.
Ye there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. Yeah, Ross,
are you in on this business where we're getting animal pets out of the
trees. I was busy doing something, but I have full support confidence in
you. Yes, I'm in. Yeah. I mean if your cat's in
the tree, yeah, I will come and then it won't be in the
tree anymore. I believe you. Okay, that's all. Like if it's
a shark tank right now, and I'm Mark Cuban, im all in,
m Well, there will be a shark tank under the tree. I'll push
it under the tree, you know, so that they have something to land.
Well, will the tree still be there? I mean, it depends
on how stubborn the cat is. Because I also I'm also in need of
tree removal. Hmm. Well you know what, then, I'd like to
I'd like to show your bundle offer and uh yeah, we can package deal
that. This is the greatest investment in my life. It's gonna be feel
good. That's gonna be fine. It's not gonna be like that time you
let me use your house for a movie and I burned it down. But
now it's famous. This will be totally fine. Yeah. I did see
that's story. I hadn't gotten it but to it. But thank you Jeff
for that. And uh, can you imagine you run an important nonprofit,
you're helping people people in really dire need, and you have some employee,
some super big and racist home of foot whatever it is, out there,
and it's reflecting badly on your whole operation. Well, that's what happened to
the MS Society helping people with multiple sclerosis, and unfortunately I had to part
ways with this. This this woman listened to this. I was confused.
I didn't know what it was, what it meant, and I'd seen it
on a couple of letters that had come in after the person's name. They
had the pronouns, but I didn't know what that meant. So finally,
when I was talking to her, I thought, I'll ask what does it
mean? And you know, let her tell me. And so she said
it meant that they were all inclusive, which didn't make sense to me.
That is a ninety year old woman who has for sixty years volunteered her time
to work with the MS Society, who they parted ways with, because she
didn't she didn't know pronouns
