00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.359
Assuming Ross, you had the probably
traveling family pretty excited to celebrate President's Day.

2
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:11.039
Hey, it's a day off,
man, That's what I know.

3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:17.760
So yeah, four day work week, as you probably figured, but not

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.079
fired. As for the usual questions, it's nice, though I can't figure

5
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:29.199
out who's actually seriously asking that,
So I don't don't worry about answering anymore.

6
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.399
Do you guys travel? Do you
guys have a big President's Day party?

7
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.439
Ross? You guys, you guys
go all out every year, right,

8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:44.399
big? What's going on here?
Ah? There we go? All

9
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.840
right, you guys go all out
every year, right for President's Day?

10
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.840
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We put up the animatronic Hall of

11
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.600
President's in the backyard, and I
feel like so lazy, dude, because

12
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.840
like they're still up, like my
President's Day decoration, they're still up.

13
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.280
But yeah, the whole evening,
I know, tear that. Okay,

14
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:08.599
okay, somebody somebody uh defaced my
Calvin Coolidge antronic rob man slander there.

15
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:15.120
They can't stand him. You need
like down with silent Cali say, well,

16
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.480
I'm telling you it's uh. Trump
was right, man, he said,

17
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.280
Next it'll be Jefferson and Washington and
Columbus and now Calvin Coolidge getting the

18
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.040
treatment. So ah, you gotta
be uh gotta be careful out there.

19
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.840
Well, hopefully everybody survived the day
off. The news cycle did not.

20
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.680
H of course, we got all
sorts of stuff going on, which we'll

21
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.560
attempt to document over the next three
hours, but not really three hours because

22
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.480
ads news weather. But that's how
that goes. Coming up on the show,

23
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.599
we got military news for you.
Speaking of trump Man, Speaking of

24
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.480
Trump, I notice you are not
adorned in brand new solid gold Trump sneakers

25
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:05.439
this morning, but maybe some of
you out there are, perhaps a few

26
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.639
of you noticed the presidents show up
to a thing that I didn't know was

27
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:15.680
a thing. I know some people
are really into shoes, Like you know,

28
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:24.759
you go to you see the uh
literal closets full of sneakers, right,

29
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.560
and you can invest the price of
a house, as as some have

30
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:37.840
done, just trying to collect you
know, classic Jordan's. For a while,

31
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:43.039
Kanye West shoes were ridiculously expensive.
Well they still are, but people

32
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.560
collected those, and you know,
you go to do like a celebrity home

33
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:54.319
tour. The Crib Crib Show is
trying to remember the name of a crib

34
00:02:54.439 --> 00:03:00.240
show, like literally you'd walk in
and some musician has a closet for of

35
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.599
shoes that cost more than the combined
total of literally every house you've ever purchased.

36
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.879
So it's about the uniqueness of the
shoes. And it's so unique and

37
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:20.479
so collectible and such a thing that
people literally show up to an event that

38
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.319
is just surrounding shoes. And I
got to tell you, I was not

39
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:29.759
aware this was the thing. I'm
trying to think. I could probably tell

40
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:36.319
you the number of pairs of shoes
that I own. I have, even

41
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.560
counting like winter boot stuff that I've
owned for years, which is not really

42
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:46.360
necessary in North Carolina. But I
have a pair of Mucklucks. That's probably

43
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.919
the most unique pair of shoes that
I own. If you don't know what

44
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:58.120
Mucklucks are, they're incredible. They
are. They're a very light boot and

45
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:05.840
they're made out of moose, but
damn are they warm and again light fabulous

46
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.520
snow shoes. You know. I've
got a couple. I've got Cowboy boots.

47
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.319
Obviously, they don't let you leave
Wyoming unless you sign a thing where

48
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:21.319
you carry those about. Yeah,
you know, standards slip on kind of

49
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.920
the shoes that I wear every day. I've got sneakers, like running shoes,

50
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:32.879
but also just sneakers. I think
I probably own maybe seven or eight

51
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.240
pairs of shoes, And even when
I see them sitting in my closet,

52
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.560
I play, what do I have
all of these shoes? But man,

53
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.839
some people are out there and they
are way into it. They are so

54
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:54.079
into it when the former president shows
up that literally the bidding runs nearly the

55
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.600
cost well what used to be the
cost of like a used car. Now

56
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:03.279
I guess it would be a down
pain on a new car with official Donald

57
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:11.720
Trump shoes, sneakers, kicks,
whatever you want to call them. And

58
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:18.600
in fact, owning among the first
pair was quite expensive. Just real quickly

59
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:24.199
this seal suit. What was your
winning bit? Buzz oh, and let's

60
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:29.720
see the signa shot. Congratulations.
That is a man. It paid nine

61
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:35.160
thousand dollars for shoes that roughly resemble
his New York apartment. If you're a

62
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.680
condo or whatever, if you've ever
seen that where it's just how much gold

63
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:46.399
can we put on stuff? And
then he then he signed him man and

64
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:53.600
has his own line of sneakers.
As far as I know, I I

65
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.800
don't know that any any other president
has official shoes, and I looked it

66
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.480
up. I want to see if
Obama did, and I didn't see any,

67
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.920
so that's kind of a first.
And what he released was literally a

68
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:14.920
line of official Trump shoes. And
even though that guy paid nine thousand,

69
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.079
the shoes I think run like two
hundred to four hundred dollars and fast sellers.

70
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.560
And what's really funny is watching the
media, you know, scoff at

71
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.199
stuff like this and go, oh
man, he's nobody's gonna buy any of

72
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.800
these things. What was it?
Remember what was it? Was it the

73
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.720
NFT NFT cards or something? Remember
when he sold those and they're like,

74
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:42.560
nobody's gonna buy him, And then
they sold in like fifteen minutes. So

75
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.160
I saw some journalists sitting there scoffing
at the shoes, but I understand people

76
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.439
bought the crap out of them,
so it'll be fairly interesting. No,

77
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.439
And going back to Obama, the
only shoes I seem to remember are the

78
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:06.639
do you remember there were shoes Obama
shoes where people literally were attempting to illegally

79
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:15.120
cross the border and they had altered
the shoes in some way, shape or

80
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:20.279
form, those are what I remember, but it wasn't an official line,

81
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:26.639
and of course the White House also
was like attempting to distance itself from them.

82
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:32.160
But that's a thing that happened over
the long weekend, and I thought,

83
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.639
well, we'll just I just remembering
this, I think I have a

84
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:44.480
parody song to that. Hold on, we're doing an official shirts search here

85
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:50.800
real quick, do do do you? Yeah? I know I'm mildly unprepared

86
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:57.160
on this front, because sometimes things
just enter my brain literally as I'm talking

87
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.160
about them. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, here we go. They come

88
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.920
and fall the money, the tree
stuff, you know, are crossing the

89
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:11.079
border here by the buslos. They
walked here in their Obama shoes, walking

90
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.079
for our each trade and their new
Obama shoes. So if you prepare around

91
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.319
just in case you stopped at the
border over and I by face, because

92
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.240
you will have a lot more on
walking to New and you'll be back to

93
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:31.439
you have got your Obama shoes.
You're walking in your Obama shoes, walking

94
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:37.039
for our each trade and worn out
Obama shoes. So that's the only ones

95
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.919
that I am fully aware of as
far as shoes, But those were those

96
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.919
runofficial, So just FYI or on
that, you know, speaking of clothing

97
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.559
people are wearing at the border.
I saw this story going going viral,

98
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.960
So just let me touch on this
for just a moment. Do you guys

99
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.840
know what five to eleven is?
I don't know that a lot of people

100
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.039
do. Probably a lot of this
audience does, but I don't think a

101
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.799
lot of people do. Ross,
I don't know. Do you Are you

102
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.480
aware of what five eleven brands?
It's like a jeens. It's like LEVI

103
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.600
jeans five eleven? Is it not? No, it is no, it's

104
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.000
it's just a guess. Yeah,
no, no, no, it Actually

105
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.559
that's a very good guess. You
know. That might actually be a pair

106
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.600
of jeans, but it's not what
I'm referring to here, all right,

107
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:37.519
So five eleven is uh tactical tactical
clothing, and it's not cheap. So

108
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.679
if you for those of you are
into it, like you can bankrupt yourself

109
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.720
buying five eleven gear. It's very
good quality. So if if you were

110
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:54.720
to buy like a five eleven jacket
and I used to own a uh,

111
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:03.919
I don't call it a jacket,
but but essentially a shirt like a very

112
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.039
thick shirt. And if you buy
five eleven gear. It is literally described

113
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:13.080
as tactical gear. Some people are
you know, like super hipster on this

114
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.480
stuff and they're just like, I'd
never own that because everybody else owns it.

115
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.080
But here's the deal. It's not
going to be cheap. The clothing

116
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:30.600
is literally designed for people who they
conceal carry. You'll see law enforcement who

117
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.919
can dress casual wearing this stuff.
Military guys they love it, and I

118
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.799
think it's I could be a kid
in a candy store at a shop that

119
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:48.240
sells five eleven, and so it
is seen as very high quality clothing,

120
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.200
which also is commonly worn by You'll
see a lot of military guys with five

121
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:03.039
eleven stuff, specifically operators, you
know, guys who aren't necessarily conducting whatever

122
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:11.399
they're conducting in in traditional uniforms may
have five eleven stuff and it sticks out.

123
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.039
It's really cool. It's you know, you're, yeah, you could

124
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.000
become a kid real quick showing people
off this five eleven jackets she bought or

125
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.639
or whatever it is. In fact
here I just wanted to yeah, so

126
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.399
this is there, we go.
That's the one. So the Men's Valiant

127
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:37.320
Duty Jacket, which has more than
just concealed carry stuff for firearms. Literally,

128
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.840
you know, a police officer can
wear a good portion of the tools

129
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.799
that they're going to use inside of
a five to eleven jacket, and it

130
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.519
just kind of looks like they're wearing
a jacket, all right, So why

131
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.679
am I pointing this out? Did
you see at the at the border over

132
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.080
the weekend they had two hundred and
fifty dudes from China they were getting ready

133
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.919
to release into the country, and
they also had some guys they stopped from

134
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:13.320
Syria. And this dude's wearing a
five to eleven jacket that looks like it

135
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.039
is right off the rack man,
meaning you know, it's clean, it's

136
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.879
it's a good looking jacket. By
the way, I did kind of look

137
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.840
it up. The jacket is two
hundred and fifty dollars. I just looked

138
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.720
it up online. It's two hundred
and fifty dollars. And again, it's

139
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:41.399
the kind of jacket and piece of
clothing you would normally see on somebody who

140
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:50.559
is carrying some sort of weapon.
And this is a quote asylum seeker from

141
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.879
Syria that they stopped on the border. Now, I did see some people

142
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.720
questioning its authenticity, whether it is
in fact a true five to eleven or

143
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.279
is a knockoff, And I should
point this out. Five eleven retail stuff

144
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:15.840
is only sold into countries the United
States and for some reason, Indonesia.

145
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.679
If you go to the company's website, that's what they'll tell you. So

146
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:26.279
to see a guy from Syria apprehended
by customs and Border who is now making

147
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.639
an asylum claim, who is wearing
a jacket that I don't know that I

148
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:39.080
could justify buying right now, at
at the price and the usefulness because like

149
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.720
in my mind, I'm sitting here, going it's about to get warm again.

150
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.639
You wouldn't wear this thing for a
while. I don't know. It's

151
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.080
a little bit of a head scratcher. And I guess my question is,

152
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.120
I know it's just an article of
clothing, but does like does the stuff

153
00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:01.919
even enter the brain when they're going
through the questions which many folks crossing the

154
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.639
border have literally been trained to answer
in a certain way, like would we

155
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.159
let a dude who's wearing military fatigues
or would we have more questions? Because

156
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.120
when I see this guy wearing a
five to eleven jacket, and I don't

157
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.559
know, maybe he's a guy from
Syria, who's not a fan of the

158
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.360
president there and somebody gave him a
jack. I don't know, but it

159
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:30.159
shouldn't just draw It shouldn't just raise
questions in some radio host who's on a

160
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.360
three day weekend. He's kind of
not paying attention when he sees this stuff,

161
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.759
but immediately perks up, why that? Why that? That just sticks

162
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.279
out of my mind, I guess
coupled with a photo of all of these

163
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:50.279
Chinese nationals who are not family but
a bunch of young single dudes some would

164
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:58.480
say military age males, but that's
some that's that's a nice outfit. So

165
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.559
yeah, that was that was wildly
troubling over the weekend to see out in

166
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.320
the wild. In fact, here, I'm gonna send Ross the story so

167
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:15.080
we can retweet this insanity. But
again, rather nice jacket and of a

168
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:20.919
brand that I recognize and I don't
even own at least this jacket here,

169
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.559
so you know, we'll attempt to
answer that question. Also coming up on

170
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.960
the show some the Florida man,
in this case Florida police officer. The

171
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:39.279
memes on this story are amazing.
We will check in with aka Loose Okahloosa

172
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:46.200
County, Okaloosa I'm not sure I
pronounce it, but that's a dude on

173
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.720
edge and I'm very curious law enforcements
perspective on this because what transpired is pretty

174
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.159
crazy. We'll learn about ebony alerts. That's fun, and Saint Patrick's Cathedral

175
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.799
once again in the news. All
that more coming up. Ross has been

176
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.360
posting pictures of edged weapons that have
been delivered to him because somebody lives in

177
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.399
a lake. Obviously, they just
get propelled out of the lake and they

178
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.399
hit me in the head. Well
it's dangerous, is my point? Right?

179
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.120
It was very sharp. So I've
moved to several different locations around the

180
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:19.159
lake and the edge weapons just keep
being thrown at me. Yeah. Well,

181
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:25.200
I mean maybe maybe it's a message
is I just don't know where they

182
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.519
would have gotten. Ah, I
understand the broad sword. Have you gotten

183
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.039
a bastard sword yet? Which I've
always wondered about the name of those?

184
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.639
I don't know. There's very popular, you know, you know what,

185
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.919
there's always next week, Okay,
all right, so what is it?

186
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.159
What did you get a bac leva
over the weekend? Yeah, some sort

187
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:48.039
of cling on weapon, I guess. Oh, it's not a Turkish pastry

188
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.440
possibly. I don't know. Okay, all right, I just want to

189
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:55.960
enjoy the lake. Now, understand. I I completely agree this is some

190
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.960
weird, supernatural occurrence, but I
don't think it's like a thing. I

191
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.960
don't think there's like some sort of
bigger message here. I don't hear a

192
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.200
lot of people. I don't see
the news reporting on this lake that keeps

193
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:08.160
spitting the weapons. Listen, I'm
saying Tom Tillis has not ever had one

194
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:14.200
mystical edged weapon thrown at him from
a ponder lake. That's all I'm saying.

195
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.319
Some of us have numerous times.
I'm sorry, what is that guy's

196
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.480
problem? Just over the weekend,
just like everyone needs to shut up.

197
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.319
I'm the smartest man on the earth. Every statement I've seen from him is

198
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:32.480
not just I you know I this
is what I believe. And if constituents

199
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.880
have problems, please contact the office. He's just like you all are dumb.

200
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.440
Here's what I'm gonna do. It
is. Everything I read over the

201
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.119
weekend was just that attitude. One
of my one of my greatest achievements.

202
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.519
Yes, just when I'm on social
media and I'm scrolling and I see a

203
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.400
Tom Tillis story like someone's posted a
story about Tom Tillis and a link,

204
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.839
and then I go down the comments
and there's people mentioning slender Man. I'm

205
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.839
sure it's a coincidence. So yeah, but you know, when you pass

206
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.559
away and you're on your deathbed,
you're gonna be like, man, did

207
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:06.240
I contribut to the world? I
did? The The conclusion I came to,

208
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.160
and he's right, is that the
party apparatus in North Carolina and uh

209
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.160
and uh, even even voters will
look at it and they'll accept that.

210
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:22.039
And next time that dude's up for
reelection, if I've even if I'm even

211
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.559
mildly critical, I'll get all of
you, a whole party people who will

212
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.960
be like, you can't do this, because what will happen is a Democrat

213
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.240
will get in there. And to
that, I would say, what's the

214
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:37.880
difference? What is the difference?
Because he'll do whatever he damn well pleases,

215
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.640
and then he'll comment on it and
go, what are you going to

216
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:48.720
do about it? And that's what
we got. So I don't blame him,

217
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.039
sorry to say, I don't blame
him doing whatever he wants to.

218
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.920
Why wouldn't he just take whatever contributors
are sitting there and paying him to essentially

219
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:06.279
vote for because y'all will never do
anything about it ever, because the party

220
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.400
will tell you this is the most
important election and if you don't re elect

221
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.440
him, he's done. And in
the primaries the people with money will shut

222
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.400
him out, and those who he
allows to puppet him will do everything in

223
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.079
their power because they literally control the
Senate seat and screw all of you.

224
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.319
So what I saw over the weekend
from that guy tell everyone they're stupid and

225
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:32.240
they don't get it. Again and
again, if you vote for him,

226
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.000
you get everything, You get everything
you deserve at this point. But to

227
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.440
Ross's point too, it's very fun
to see slender Man brought up. And

228
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.200
if we could just get a slender
Man slash soup, salad and breadsticks reference,

229
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.720
that'd be amazing and something about Tuscany
that would make my entire week.

230
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:55.039
Yeah yeah, yeah, that was
right there, Which is literally the only

231
00:19:55.079 --> 00:20:00.759
thing his existence is useful for is
to clown on at this point, what

232
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.000
a what a piece of garbage?
Man? Do you tell him? I

233
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.960
said that too. Go ahead,
Oh, anyway, back to the five

234
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.519
to eleven thing. Apparently a lot
of you are very enthusiastic and somebody just

235
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:18.880
brought something up on the five eleven
gear that is mildly troubling, Like I

236
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:25.880
want to know the origin story.
Let's see here, in Iraq, for

237
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:33.559
years almost every private military guy was
living in five eleven just seven days a

238
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.880
week, which is a very good
point. Like I didn't I didn't see

239
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.119
the holes in the jacket. The
jacket looks damn near new, and I

240
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.039
kind of think it might be a
knockoff of the Parka, but I don't

241
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:49.799
know. I just haven't seen it
like quite like that. But yeah,

242
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:55.279
some dude from Syria's showing up at
the border wearing a jacket that I couldn't

243
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:03.119
justify a purchase of. Mildly troubling, mildly right there, just looking at

244
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.200
a picture of it again. We
tweeted the ross. You tweet the story.

245
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:08.759
I sent it to you real quick. All right, we'll get that.

246
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.160
We'll get that out there for you
so you can inspect it yourself.

247
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:18.480
It's a nice looking jacket. I
will say this, all right, here

248
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.119
we go, speaking of people,
Canna who can afford five eleven stuff.

249
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:30.839
How many of you leave your curtains
open from time to time, especially in

250
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.799
the front of your house. So
like street view, leave it open.

251
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.319
Yes, you understand that. People
if there, I guess if they wanted

252
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.759
to be pervs could cut you know, could glance in there. But you

253
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.119
want to get that light in there. Maybe you want to get cracked the

254
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.440
window if the temperature is nice.
Uh ross you are you a curtain because

255
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.039
some people are curtain closed all the
time? People, I am current.

256
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.880
I would prefer to be curtain closed
all the time. Marky likes to open

257
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:57.160
up the curtains and look at the
road and have the lake come in.

258
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.880
And I'm like, there are feds
out there that are probably trying to look

259
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.680
at us, and we need to
close those curtains right now. You live

260
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.400
with a woman, so you're yeah, you're stuck with this. They love

261
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.519
the My introvert in the level is
at like eleven out of ten. It's

262
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.880
just how I am. So I'm
like to have those open. I'm like,

263
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.799
there's no way I don't want I
don't want them open. I have

264
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.920
on the front of my house.
I have the uh the shutters you know

265
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.160
where you like pull the woodpee.
You know, it's all fixed in there.

266
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:29.839
I don't know that they open.
I'm but I'll get light from like

267
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.440
the backyard, the side of the
house, but I don't want the ones

268
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.960
that are facing the street open.
We used to have the yeah, the

269
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.960
backyard by the kitchen, we used
to have that open. Yes, But

270
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:45.440
then they built that seventeen story condoms
mostrosity behind my house and now there's people.

271
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.000
Look it's now I put up curtains. Yeah, it's understandable. But

272
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.799
if you do like them open,
is it because of the light or is

273
00:22:53.839 --> 00:23:02.160
it to shame the pores? Crazy? Uh, crazy, dumb article over

274
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:08.920
the weekend. If you enjoy,
in fact, enjoy having your curtains open,

275
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.400
or shutters or drapes or whatever you
have, If you if you enjoy

276
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.640
having those open, the Atlantic knows
why. And it is not to get

277
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:25.440
light. It is not to create
airflow in your house. When the temperatures,

278
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:29.440
you know, like the temperatures we
have seen right were you're in the

279
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.599
sixties, get a little fresh air
through there. Great stuff? Right,

280
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.799
No, no, no, here's
the headline. Uncovered windows have quietly become

281
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:45.440
a fixture of high end homes across
America. How did ditching the curtains become

282
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.799
a common marker of wealth? All
right, I have a question. First,

283
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:55.039
of all. I I guess I
don't really inspect, but I feel

284
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:00.160
like most homes, even really nice
homes, have what's the term they use

285
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.160
window treatments, right, so curtains
or shut of those, you know,

286
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:11.759
the little slidy things that I have, or whatever it may be. But

287
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:18.000
according to The Atlantic, their theory
is and it's not just them. New

288
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.759
York Times did a piece on this. Atlantic is just parroting them that wealthy

289
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:32.839
here we go, wealthy white people
living in gentrified urban areas are doing so

290
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.799
to show off their wealth. So
basically, if you have a nice house

291
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:44.160
and you have the drapes or curtains
or open or you don't have them,

292
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:51.640
the reason you do that is because
subconsciously you're wanting to show, especially in

293
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:59.000
gentrified areas, you're wanting to show
the pores all your nice stuff. And

294
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.279
that is your motivation there. And
they wrote a whole article on this.

295
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.759
Americans who are in more than one
hundred and fifty thousand, or almost twice

296
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:11.960
as likely to leave windows uncovered as
those making near the poverty line, according

297
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.680
to a study by the US Department
of Energy. All right, let me

298
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.119
also point this out because one of
the things that they're talking about is how

299
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:32.640
there's a higher number of people that
do this in quote unquote gentrified areas.

300
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.240
So let's understand what that is.
That is going to be an area that

301
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:44.200
has that is socioeconomically lower on the
totem pole, there is a likelihood that

302
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.960
that neighborhood during the process of gentrification, you know, especially when it starts.

303
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.720
If you were to look at a
map that post, you know,

304
00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:00.480
crime stuff is going to be because
you know, there's a lot of a

305
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:06.759
lot of tie in between socioeconomic status
and and crime. Not always, but

306
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:14.000
a lot of times that arguably that'd
be the place you don't want to be,

307
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.640
Like, hey, look through this
window at my one hundred inch TV.

308
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.799
Do you know what I'm saying?
That's you probably not wanting that.

309
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:29.480
So the idea that you are consciously
or subconsciously leaving your curtains open to show

310
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:34.880
off your expensive stuff seems really dumb
and frankly, I don't know that I

311
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:40.160
believe this study. I think that
they're if if the curtains are open,

312
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:44.240
and I'm let me just be very
sexist here, if the curtains are open,

313
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.799
it's not because you're wanting to shame
the pores. I think that if

314
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.920
I think that if you were to
pull a few other numbers into this study,

315
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.519
you would find that those households also
were more likely to have a woman

316
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.720
living there. If I could just
make that gross generalization, like I don't

317
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:10.200
have a woman living with me,
but you know when I have, when

318
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.880
I have been dating somebody, the
women'll come over to your house and open

319
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.960
that stuff up. You're happy to
sit there in your artificial light and darkness

320
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:18.920
and they'll be like, oh,
you go, get the windows open.

321
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.400
Let's so. But I don't feel
like they're doing it to quote shame the

322
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.839
pores. And so the fact that
two outlets, The Atlantic and New York

323
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:34.839
Times just decided that wealthy white people
are moving into neighborhoods gentrifying it and then

324
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:40.559
in the process of doing it,
leaving the curtains open to show people all

325
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:47.400
of their expensive stuff and to bring
shame on their neighbors is one of the

326
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:53.440
most projection field articles I think that
I've ever read, because like the mindset

327
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.880
to do that. And don't get
me wrong, people show off nice stuff,

328
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.119
right, get some somebody goes out
and they buy themselves a nice car,

329
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.359
which I could put in the garage. They'll leave it outside Brillo not

330
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.640
you know, middle of the night
maybe, but because you know you want

331
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.000
bob down the street to see your
new hellcat or whatever it is. Like

332
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:22.319
I could, I could see that, but no, all right, more

333
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.759
from the article on liquors have been
baffled by the trend and sometimes are tempted

334
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:32.680
to pry. Although the phenomena is
most visible in cities, the link between

335
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:41.880
wealth and exposed windows extends across the
United States. Let's see here. Well,

336
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:42.759
I'm not gonna read the rest of
it. Is you get the gist

337
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:47.160
of it. Well, well,
the article out to you, all right,

338
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.680
So is those of you like the
curtains open? Are you doing it

339
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:53.960
to shame the pores? Very curious
because according to the New York Times and

340
00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:00.319
The Atlantic, that is your motivation
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight

341
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.720
seven four. I told you it
was a lot of dumb stuff over the

342
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:11.920
weekend between that and the navalney fall
fallout, and the governor of Missouri is

343
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:18.400
now beefing with Kansas City's mayor.
It was just it was a whole lot

344
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:29.039
of stupid, but none as stupid
as the man milk controversy, which is

345
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.359
a story I will share with you
next here on the CaCO Day radio program.

346
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.839
Ah look at this, all right, so people are I've told you

347
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.960
the curtains story is dumb as hell, man, But you know too,

348
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:47.440
everything is they have attached a race
of racial motive to or something, because

349
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.519
that's really what they're driving at.
And it's like, I give you an

350
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:56.440
example of something that is clearly racist
that was in the news Friday versus Oh,

351
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.599
they don't have their curtains closed.
They're obviously doing it to shame black

352
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.680
people, which is what that article
is saying. I know they use words

353
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:08.640
like gentrified neighborhoods, socioeconomic, but
let's be let's be real. That's what

354
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.319
the New York Times in Atlantic are
accusing people of doing if they have their

355
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:18.079
windows open, not because they want
fresh air or light, but rather to

356
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:27.599
taunt their economically challenged neighbors, especially
in communities and neighborhoods where white people are

357
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.000
gentrifying it. They're just using all
those words to say the same thing,

358
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:41.599
which is, you know, it's
racist, which is not surprising from the

359
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.240
New York Times. All right,
let me grab a call. Yeah,

360
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:48.480
hey, Bob, what's up,
thany Can you hear me? I can

361
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.599
hear you, sir, Okay,
Just want to make sure, yeah,

362
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:55.519
I'm white. I am not African
American. I am sure white. And

363
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.079
I used to live over Florida Street
in Greensburg, and when I was there,

364
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.480
I loved that when people would open
their curtains like that, you would

365
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.640
see everything from their wives walking around
the house in the middle of the night.

366
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:11.559
Two nice extensive stuff. I mean. So I just wasn't n I

367
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.920
was down. I was you know, I will admit to it. I

368
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:19.000
did drugs and I drunk and I
needed money. So I noticed this stuff

369
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.799
in these people's windows. And you're
right, the people do lose the windows

370
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.160
open. They don't think about it. I got it stud breaking in the

371
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.759
homes and everything over here in Guildford
County, and over a four year period,

372
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.039
I did not stop for breaking the
people's houses over Therefore, I see

373
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.240
their windows open and say, well, you know, I can do a

374
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.400
smash and grass, I can break
that glass out in two minutes and be

375
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:44.519
grab that object and be gone and
hit the farm shop over in full Syth

376
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.079
County. And you know, since
I'm in Guilford and they would never even

377
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.039
find it because unfortunately, when you
take some one county and taking that in

378
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:57.519
another county, normally that other county
sheriff's department or investigators are not going to

379
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:02.160
the county and to see it happenes
in those bomb shops. So I had

380
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.440
for four over four years, I
had a pretty good bank account and was

381
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.240
making very good because these idiots,
they would leave their curtains open, and

382
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:15.279
it won't it just white. I'd
see it in all different races, and

383
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:17.440
I just couldn't start. You know, you're super stupid. I'm out here

384
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.160
breaking it. The complex kind of
keep coming back and people are still leaving

385
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.920
their damn curtains open, and they
would display stuff in their cars too.

386
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:31.359
Just wanted their houses. Yeah,
I mean I And when I got arrested,

387
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:37.799
you know, the ship officer,
I kept my mouth shut. I

388
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:38.920
was like, they're not going to
pin me for all this stuff I've done

389
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:43.240
number eight eight, eight, ninety
three, four seventy stuff. Oh my

390
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:47.759
gosh, Ah, Ross, have
you seen the kilt story out of Texas?

391
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:58.039
I haven't hold on. I gotta
send this to Ross so you can

392
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:04.680
post it. Oh why do why
do people send me these things? Ross?

393
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:08.079
By the way, currently is he
has twenty bags of olive garden takeout

394
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:12.599
where you're talking about shaming the pores
by keeping the blinds open, and I

395
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.079
don't do that because I'm an introvert. But there are ways that I show

396
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.039
off my wealth. And it's like
every other day I'm bringing in the truck

397
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.279
loads olive garden. So olive garden
is not even open right now, people

398
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:24.119
they open, He makes them open
for him. Sometimes I don't even like

399
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.400
bring the bags in. I take
the bag out of the car and I

400
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.039
place it on the porch in front
of the door, and I just close

401
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:34.799
it just to show off my wealth. Yeah, it's it's how he lures

402
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:38.559
them in right there. So that
man is endangered species for co collection.

403
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:44.240
It's really over the top. All
right, let's send us to Ross and

404
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.559
know what we're gonna do together as
a team. Well, I'm just giving

405
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.839
you the Hey, here's what's coming
up this hour. We're gonna wait for

406
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.000
him to see the headline. Okay, all right, so let me a

407
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:58.160
foreigner. I love when you do
this expecting the email to come right through,

408
00:33:58.200 --> 00:33:59.920
and it never does. That's why, no, no, no,

409
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.480
So I'm gonna i will I will
you know, give it a moment.

410
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.599
I mean, it's it's in,
it's within the company network. You would

411
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.599
think it would be quick. All
right, so that is on its way

412
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:20.440
to ross and then we're gonna,
uh he'll see that and uh real quickly

413
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.039
eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four you want to be on

414
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:27.920
the show. Also coming up this
hour, we got a candlelight vigil to

415
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.920
tell you about all sorts of lawsuit
insanity. And if you didn't see it

416
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:39.800
on Friday, this is this is
a regular thing where you know, we

417
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:47.880
hit a certain time amount of time
and then previously classified documents, once they've

418
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.159
been scoped over and made sure that
it's not a threat to national security,

419
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:57.519
they document that document, dump the
stuff, and so you learn about stuff

420
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.599
nobody knew about. You learn about
stuff where people knew about it, but

421
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.880
different details have come out. And
that was the thing that happened Friday,

422
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:13.079
and there's some crazy crap in there, all right. Well, this is

423
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.159
how you know he's Scottish though,
right because he wasn't wearing anything underneath the

424
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:19.760
kilt. Some way to say you're
justifying this as some sort of proof of

425
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:23.039
your preconceived notions and ignoring me.
I mean, did he put some of

426
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:29.360
the items back on the shelf.
Yeah, that's exactly the show's remorse doing

427
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:34.239
this. Do you feel that that
was an indicator of remorse and not?

428
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.000
Hey, in my creepy, whacked
out brain, it'll be really funny if

429
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.880
people come in and buy this stuff. I feel like it's the second one.

430
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:45.000
Well, there's a few things here. One possible remorse because he's putting

431
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:46.360
the items back. So he did
what he did. He was like,

432
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:50.280
oh this is awful. Yeah,
I feel bad, and we put it

433
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.880
back on the shelf. So the
ketchup goes back on the shelf or whatever.

434
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.840
But also, I don't I'm not
familiar with the culture. It could

435
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:58.800
be a cultural thing, and I
don't want to judge another person's culture.

436
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:04.000
So maybe that's fair. But from
what you know. Also, hold on,

437
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:07.559
his face is not painted blue,
So no, it is not.

438
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.760
But if you have you do you
normally see that paired with a wife beater?

439
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:16.159
You don't, do you? You
did not? No? All right,

440
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:22.079
I'm gonna read this headline. This
is from the Blaze. This is

441
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:32.920
in Houston, Texas. Man in
kilt arrested for allegedly shoving items up something

442
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:39.920
that would be easily accessible when Donnie
to kilt and returning them to the shelves

443
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:45.480
at antique stores. Oh I'm just
reading the antique store part. Yeah,

444
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:49.480
I thought it was like a grocery
store. No, No, this is

445
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:53.239
this is electable anti you know what. He would put them up, and

446
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:57.199
then he would he put him back, so he would wasn't planning and stealing

447
00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:00.559
him at all. No, but
there is. He's obviously he's wearing a

448
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.199
kilt, So some would argue that
if he was wearing jeans, this would

449
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.400
be a lot more complicated in a
semi public setting, right, because I'm

450
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:12.960
sure he's kind of ducking into aisles
where he's not, and because it's a

451
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:17.400
surveillance that caught it. So like
the dawning of the kilt to make this

452
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:23.679
hobby of his easier to conduct shows
planning, wouldn't you say that? Or

453
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:30.719
like if I'm a prosecutor, That's
what I'm thinking, because you know he

454
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.519
was if he was wearing jeans like
a normal person in Houston, Texas,

455
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:39.400
probably would be more difficult. A
Texas man in a kilt was arrested after

456
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:47.440
several shoppers reported seeing him grab items
at multiple antique stores. So he went,

457
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:53.440
what's the word antiquing, but in
his own way, shove the items

458
00:37:53.519 --> 00:38:02.559
into a particular area, as though
he thought about he thought about getting some

459
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.760
you know, like I guess maybe
he was considering bringing some nineteen twenties dishware

460
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:15.559
into prison with him, but then
thought thought differently of it. I don't

461
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:21.400
know. Harris County Constable Mark Kerman
said in a post the office heard from

462
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:25.119
several concerned citizens about the kilted man
and an antique star. By the way,

463
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:29.119
does that mean you can then negotiate
with the anti because you know how

464
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:34.880
people buy antiques, They like negotiating
for stuff. How do I know?

465
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.400
I saw these two guys from Iowa
that just drive around. This is all

466
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:42.519
they do. I was just saying, I was just thinking this. I

467
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:46.559
was gonna say it on a very
special episode, which's what's the name of

468
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:50.800
that, said Berrick cood Pickers,
Right, right, is them and the

469
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:55.079
guys lead container in your in your
barn. But it's been butt so I

470
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:59.159
want to discount. That's That's what
I'm saying. Right, do you go

471
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.760
in and do you want to because
that would like right? Yeah, right,

472
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:06.440
you go ahead, and the old
farmer he doesn't want to sell his

473
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:07.639
old Coca colas, And they're like, what if I told you I just

474
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:14.960
put it my butt. Also on
the flip side, if you had tay,

475
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.639
Let's say you buy that antique item
and then you take it into the

476
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:22.360
pawn shop in Vegas and he's trying
to scree on the price, like,

477
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:24.559
ah, I'll give you two hundred. You'd be like, yeah, what

478
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:28.599
if this is a very special model
that's been in my butt? I never

479
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:31.199
understood that because we went to an
American picker show a lot. Uh yeah,

480
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.039
as far as I know, Frank
never did wear a kill and put

481
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:37.760
anything up his bum, right right, But I think the tall guy would

482
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.119
do it. Yeah, definitely.
Yeah. I don't remember his name,

483
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:44.039
but yeah. Uh. Boy always
like freaked me on this show is the

484
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.639
bundling, because the Frank was known
for his bundling. So he'd be like,

485
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:50.400
I'm going to pick three items,
give you a lower price, and

486
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:52.000
you're gonna give me the money because
I'm doing three on it. I'm like,

487
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:59.000
why would he give you more money
for less? Because well, because

488
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:01.840
I think that the psychology is that
minus the part where he put in his

489
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:07.039
butt ornut. But I think the
psychology there is because at the end of

490
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.639
the day, it's a larger pile
of money that he will have. But

491
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:13.199
now what I'm saying is it isn't
though. Like so he'll be like,

492
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:15.880
hey, I want five hundred dollars
for this painting, and the guy will

493
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:17.159
be like no, and he's like, all right, well I'm going to

494
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.400
have the painting and the motorcycle and
the gas can for five hundred. It's

495
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:22.519
a bundle. And then the guy's
like deal. I'm like, I don't

496
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:27.840
why are you taking that it's less
money? Well yeah, no, no,

497
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:31.239
no. But maybe he's identifying items
that he feels are he's he's willing

498
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:36.719
to overpay for one item if he
underpays for another and still comes out on

499
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.519
top. I don't know. But
there a girl on that show too that

500
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:44.599
would go back. There was she's
she's a burlesque dancer. Oh that's right,

501
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:46.440
yeah, she was kind of like
non typically hot. I remember that,

502
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:51.239
so yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, cause

503
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:54.079
you bring her. Oh, they
would bring her around and they would get

504
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:58.880
like deal after deal. Yeah.
But also you can corrupt a lot more

505
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:00.960
items, like twice fast you know
what I'm saying, correct, ye,

506
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:06.079
Like, and it was like if
one of those two showed up in a

507
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:07.760
kilt, that would look a little
unusual, but she wears a skirt,

508
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:15.320
right, nobody knows nothing. Everything
looks normal. But also we're going to

509
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.320
the store, the store to store
do with this? Please say that.

510
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:24.960
I eventually identified the man as Mitchell
Vest and arrested him. Local TV station

511
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:30.239
obtained some of the surveillance video.
It shows Vest walking around an antique store

512
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:35.320
before Okay, well it shows exactly
what you think it would show, all

513
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:38.280
right, So what do you what's
the question on everybody's mind right now?

514
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.559
Ross what what's the question you're left
with? What did he go with?

515
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:52.519
Right? What exactly if did he
decide needed that that treatment? And according

516
00:41:52.519 --> 00:42:00.039
to the probable cause Affidavid, Among
the items were a makeup brush. All

517
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:05.079
right, that doesn't sound too bad
in the grant, like if you if

518
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:07.880
you're a gunpoint forced in the story, like, ah, something for that

519
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:13.079
and you had to make a choice. Antique makeup brush probably not the worst,

520
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:22.960
but it goes downhill from there.
Also a antique bottle opener nope,

521
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:30.079
a tobacco tent can what is that
what is a tobacco tent? Can?

522
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:38.760
I got questions? What is it? Tobacco tent? Can? Oh?

523
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:42.800
Okay, so it's just an old
tobacco tin. Why why wouldn't you just

524
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:46.679
say that, Yeah, it's an
old like Prince Albert. Uh, you

525
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:52.519
know, you get the tobacco in
there. Still, it's you know,

526
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.159
it's rectangular, it's it's kind of
large. That's horrible. A restoration hardware

527
00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:01.199
piece. I don't even know what
that is. Also, if I am

528
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:06.760
somebody who from time to time would
shop at this store, am I going

529
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:10.039
back? Because this is just the
stuff you saw, you know what I'm

530
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:14.039
saying, Like, this is just
the stuff they had on video or was

531
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:21.840
witnessed by somebody. And if this
guy was going store to store. In

532
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:30.079
the Affidavid, both store owners listed
the items that they felt were tainted and

533
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:34.159
the value. Let's see here,
how much was it? Well, you

534
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.719
know they're jacking the price. Okay, So it was one hundred and thirty

535
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:43.639
dollars at one store, seventy four
dollars at the other. And yeah,

536
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:46.880
there's there's video when we send the
story out. So anyway, I don't

537
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:50.480
know what you did over the weekend, But that's what this dude was up

538
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:54.199
to. Yeah, I don't feel
like I could. Oh you know what,

539
00:43:54.280 --> 00:44:00.000
I just thought of something, guys, all right, so next time

540
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:01.679
I'm let's say, next time,
you're up in the mountains or whatever,

541
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:05.880
right you're doing trying to do a
nice weekend. Maybe you're maybe you're doing

542
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.760
that drive north to Asheville on the
Blue Ridge up to Blade Valley or something

543
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:15.519
right or wherever, and and the
wife wants to stop at the antique or

544
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.599
the knicknackt doore because you know those
are everywhere, like that one in little

545
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:22.639
Switzerland. That's just a tourist trap. All right, show her this story.

546
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.559
You're like, yeah, we could
go in there, but what about

547
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:29.760
this? And I don't know,
maybe it'll save you a little time and

548
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:34.360
not having a bunch of extra stuff
at your house. Just a thought.

549
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.880
Yeah. They don't point out that
the kilt was premeditated, but I feel

550
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:44.480
like the kilt was premeditated? How
much? And then they release them one

551
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:49.599
hundred dollars bond? Perfect? All
right? Well, give this guy a

552
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:53.039
show on the whatever channel the Picker
Show was on. Go from there.

553
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:58.079
That is not how I thought we'd
start the week. But here we go

554
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:07.159
all right over the weekend. That's
funny. But that's funny only because yeah,

555
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:13.079
I had tim for a moment,
think about it's called patita. No

556
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.800
it's not, no, right,
Yeah, the patina makes it more valuable,

557
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:20.440
you know, to clean it because
some people make the mistake of taking

558
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:22.719
the patina off and then it takes
away the value. You learned that from

559
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:27.760
both American pickers and pond stars,
is it. Yeah, that's a good

560
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.159
point. Yeah, yeah, you
want to leave the patita. You want

561
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:35.760
the nastiest, oldest sign that you
can find. So maybe that's what he

562
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:38.119
was doing. Maybe he was taking
stuff that didn't have proper patina on it

563
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:42.639
and he thought he could flip it. You know what I'm saying, Right,

564
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.679
He's like, ah, let me
grab this stuff and it'll be old,

565
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:46.760
you know what. You know,
it'd be a lot more interesting.

566
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:52.199
Not on that show, but what's
the one on PBS where the Antiques Roadshow?

567
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.760
The Antiques road Show where they have
like the really proper British guy who

568
00:45:55.760 --> 00:46:00.599
gets really excited over a dog painting, right, somebody sitting there pretending like

569
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.119
they're not going to sell their moms
who's now dead? Prize possession. No,

570
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:07.599
I got it from this. I
recently saw a video. It was

571
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:10.039
a Vietnam vett who had like an
original Rolex in a box that he bought

572
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:15.519
after the war whatever, and he
got the dude so much saw stip it

573
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.559
on on YouTubers. And now imagine
if that watch was like the one in

574
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:27.079
pulp fiction. Hey man, the
captors would have taken it had they found

575
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:30.239
it. So right, I don't
know why you're making life this poor man

576
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.480
was in a camp. That's the
kid's birth right right there. Yeah,

577
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.119
it's in a pow camp. He's
got to do what he's got to do.

578
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:42.880
And you know, probably had to
have Patina too. So yeah,

579
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.840
I know he bought it at the
PX and like in like uh, Philippines

580
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:50.119
or something, and it was some
old role I saw somebody was in the

581
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:53.719
really into watches. Who I know
sent me that and I'm like, oh

582
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:57.639
okay, But then I thought,
why was he in Manila? I bet

583
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:01.159
I know, so got kind of
a rep back in the day. Look

584
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:05.960
it up lots of Patina just you
know, do you want to google that?

585
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:08.159
All right? Well, there you
go. Happy Tuesday when you're trying

586
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:10.880
to get up and heard the kids
and get ready for work after the three

587
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:15.760
day weekend, and your brain's not
fully turned out, but is fully turned

588
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:21.480
on now now, speaking of over
the weekend, the NBA All Star Game,

589
00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:23.480
I didn't watch it. I saw
that there's a bunch of stories emerging

590
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:28.719
from it, but the only one
I care about is this Charles Barkley.

591
00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:32.199
All Right. So he's one of
the commentators for TNT's broadcast, and he's

592
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:42.119
sitting there with Reggie Miller Draymond Green, and the event was in Indianapolis,

593
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.639
and obviously it's still, you know, winter ish in Indy. So they

594
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:54.440
were making lighthearted conversations about the weather, and Charles Barkley went off. Man,

595
00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:01.000
he went absolutely off, and the
folks around him were not pleased with

596
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:07.599
it. Here is here is Barkley
in this conversation, seventeen degrees Hey,

597
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:10.519
Reggie, Yes, if you had, if you had a chance of being

598
00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:22.760
cold, of being around a bunch
of homeless in San Francisco. Yes,

599
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:34.719
we can't even walk around. I
can't walk around a bulletproof bad Charles Barkley

600
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:37.559
going off on San Francisco. Reggie
Miller is not happy by the way they

601
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:43.760
were, and but Barkley doesn't give
a crap man. So yes, of

602
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:45.039
all the events that happened over the
weekend, that's the only one that I

603
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:49.960
found amusing associated with that event.
All right, Well, you're running around

604
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:52.480
the house looking at items with Patina
on it. We got to take a

605
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:55.760
break, so hang on. Somebody
left a severed human leg on the New

606
00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:00.199
York City subway system, which somehow
I feel like that's not even the craziest

607
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:08.760
thing that's ever been left on there. But also I feel like, because

608
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:13.119
I mean, they got surveillance cameras
or how else would we have the amazing

609
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:19.519
crazy hobos shoving people into the tracks
videos? How are you not able to

610
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.280
figure out who that is? So
if you're listening and you lost your leg

611
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:30.760
on the New York City subway system
over the weekend, they have it and

612
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:36.679
would like to talk to you.
Where was It's in the Bronx all it

613
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:40.400
says Concourse neighborhood. So I guess
if that means anything to anybody, that's

614
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:45.599
where a human leg was found.
Now you ross you mentioned serial killer,

615
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:50.480
That is like maybe I don't know, because I feel like it was actually

616
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:53.039
I know, it's a long three
day weekend. Probably some people maybe imbibed

617
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:58.320
a little more than they should.
Daytona was over the weekend, although it

618
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:02.119
got moved to Monday because of the
rain. Last ray about it next week.

619
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:08.360
He's not in this week, but
uh NBA All Star all sorts of

620
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:15.920
craziness, and you know, all
crazy stuff happens. Somebody loses a leg.

621
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:20.679
Let's see here, right, phone
call real quick, Anthony, what's

622
00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:24.719
up? Hey? I was just
gonna say, that's that's an episode of

623
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:30.039
an antique road show. I would
actually watch right right now. The expert

624
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:35.119
was Yeah. The expert be like, it's just got a wonderful poutina.

625
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:39.400
Yeah, but it's kind of John
Oder about it. You'd called in just

626
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:45.920
for the puns or just mess up
to it. It's okay maybe maybe maybe

627
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:50.000
no. Look because every time whoever
the appraiser on that show is is always

628
00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:53.400
some really stuffy British dude. Right, So just the idea of him spinning

629
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:58.280
around the item in his hand for
five minutes before the owner divulges the origin

630
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:02.280
story would be amazing to me.
Could you imagine how bad if if it

631
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:07.360
increases the value, how bad that
commit center would smell? Hey? Man,

632
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:09.960
people just want to get paid.
What are you gonna do? All

633
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:16.320
right? So yeah, thanks,
Yeah, you don't tell him the story

634
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:20.960
first, you let him, you
let him put his hands all over that,

635
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:22.199
and then be like, oh,
by the way, I got into

636
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:25.639
this antique shop in Houston and it's
kind of famous. Let me tell you

637
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:31.039
why. Yeah, I tune into
that for sure. All right, seven

638
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:36.960
thirty nine. I gotta do other
stories or I will just make childish jokes

639
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:42.480
for the next hour and twenty minutes, which perhaps some people would prefer.

640
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.440
All Right, we're gonna this is
gonna take a dark turn, so just

641
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:55.920
ready yourself. Speaking of stuffy British
people. A letter. Let's see here

642
00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:01.239
who actually issued this. So it
is from it's from the NHS, which

643
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:07.000
is their national health system, and
uh. They put out an advisory letter

644
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:15.960
to hospitals in the United Kingdom and
in it they talked about babies and breastfeeding

645
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:21.880
and all that all that stuff and
if you if you've ever had a bit.

646
00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:24.280
I've never have, but I've heard
multiple people explain to me that if

647
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:28.440
they go to if you go into
a hospital and you pop a baby out,

648
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:35.400
a group of folks will swarm you
to tell you about breastfeeding, and

649
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.960
they are very adamant about it.
Ross would you say that's a fair representation

650
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:44.719
of what it was? Super weird? Yeah, yeah, they're like the

651
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:47.199
breastfeeding Nazis, like, you need
to do this, but how did you

652
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:50.639
get in a room? They did
it? Just hands you a pamphlet.

653
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:55.960
It was super weird, Okay,
very militant about the breastfeeding. Doctor Rachel

654
00:52:57.039 --> 00:53:01.239
James, medical director of the University
of Sussex, who is one of the

655
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:09.559
signatories on the letter, wanted all
new parents within the national health system in

656
00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:16.519
the UK to be fully informed about
the process. But with the latest language

657
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:24.960
and lingo and all that good stuff. So now medical facilities will present an

658
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:34.280
argument not just in favor of breastfeeding, but rather explaining that there's some terminology

659
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:38.320
and some things you need to understand. First and foremost language new language includes

660
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:44.559
the term not breastfeeding but chest feeding. Right, you've probably heard that before.

661
00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:49.800
And if you are a parent,
perhaps one who just popped a baby

662
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:54.719
out looking at you, girls,
you are a birthing parent and not you

663
00:53:54.760 --> 00:54:00.920
know, the mother, so you're
the birthing parent. But where this thing

664
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:09.679
goes even more off the rails.
The new information will allow hospital officials to

665
00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:21.000
extol the virtues of not mother's milk, not breast milk, but milk,

666
00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:30.559
explaining that men's milk is equal to
mother's milk when it comes to the health

667
00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:35.440
of the baby. So you don't
call it mother's milk, don't call it

668
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:42.000
brea. Instead, understand that milk
from both men and women, men's milk

669
00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:52.519
and women's milk is equally healthy for
babies. Which I've heard the term men

670
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:57.480
and I've heard that pair together.
I guess I misunderstood what it was in

671
00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:06.119
reference to. All this time,
the term human milk, they say would

672
00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:10.920
be is the preferred language. However, the document goes on and the and

673
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:17.599
the uh. The information goes on
to explain that whether it is men's milk

674
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:23.159
or women's milk, both are equally
nutritious for the baby, so as to

675
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:30.039
do away with what they say was
gender biased information that was being provided to

676
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:36.719
new parents medication, and it goes
straight. Look, it talks about the

677
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:40.239
stuff that you would expect to be
talked about when people are getting medical information

678
00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:45.440
about lactation, and you know,
medication that you might not want to take

679
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:50.079
if you are in fact the one
who is the mom here. Even though

680
00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:54.079
I'm not allowed to say that,
which is good information, right, right.

681
00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:58.599
You know, they tell hey,
if you're if you're breastfeeding, maybe

682
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:00.239
don't go out and do a bunch
of hair, right, that's good advice.

683
00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:07.840
However, having to convince people that
what you're talking about in both instances

684
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:15.039
is mother's milk and I don't care
what you say about it is a bridge

685
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:22.679
too far. The document also issues
information based on multiple studies and one unique

686
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:31.039
issue as it pertains to transgender women
to men right who may give birth and

687
00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:38.960
may that there is a problem with
high testosterone counts. Obviously, it is

688
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:44.760
not natural testosterone, although women do
have a certain amount of natural testosterone,

689
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:50.280
but rather testosterone that may be imbued
in the body because you're taking hormones.

690
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:54.239
And shockingly, doctors have found out
that maybe that is not the best thing

691
00:56:54.840 --> 00:57:00.360
to be feeding your kid, although
it might make the kids swol and I

692
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:06.440
think about it, right, little
six pack abs on your newborn, But

693
00:57:06.920 --> 00:57:10.880
either way, they don't recommend it. So just something to think about.

694
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.760
See, we're here to educate as
well, and that's really the important part,

695
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:19.000
all right. Like I mentioned Race
Stagic, he's playing hooky all week.

696
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:22.519
Decided I'm gonna go to a race. Oh yeah, that and so

697
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:25.440
Jeff mar is in for him.
Jeff, how are you doing this morning,

698
00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:29.000
sir? And wonderful? How are
you? I I'd be better if

699
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:32.000
I had raised vacation time. Well, wouldn't we all? Oh my goodness.

700
00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:36.880
Yeah, So the race did go
off on Monday instead of Sunday,

701
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:39.239
So we'll check in with him next
week on how it went. But since

702
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:42.800
you know, we got to come
to work, Jeff, I guess we'll

703
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:45.000
do the weather thing. What's going
on? Yeah, Well, it's going

704
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:47.199
to be a pretty quiet weather pattern
setting up for us here into Thursday afternoon,

705
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.880
then Thursday night and early on Friday. A front we'll bring in some

706
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:52.280
showers, but it's going to be
drying on the cold side. As you

707
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.159
make your way out early on this
Tuesday, we'll see increasing clouds through the

708
00:57:55.199 --> 00:57:59.440
afternoon and hit fifty seven for a
high, and then clearing overnight with a

709
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:00.719
low dipping in the for twenties.
Now a whole lot of change tomorrow,

710
00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:04.880
just a little bit more sunshine for
the afternoon with the high fifty seven Sunday

711
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:07.199
and warmer Thursday after sixty four and
then on Friday We'll start off the day

712
00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:09.360
with showers, then some breaks in
the clouds of the high sixty six.

713
00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:13.360
A beautiful weekend, a little bit
cooler, but sunshine Saturday and Sunday with

714
00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:15.880
highs in the upper fifties to low
sixties. All right, Jeff Barr,

715
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:19.800
appreciate it. We'll talk in an
hour, sir, sounds good, and

716
00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:22.079
we'll take a break. Hang on, Ross, if they shut the olive

717
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.440
garden down a wake four as you'd
be beside yourself. Let's just be honest.

718
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:29.480
But in Charleston, West Virginia,
it was not an olive garden,

719
00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:37.960
but rather the Hooters. Yes.
Sadly, after many Hooters enthusiasts and Charleston

720
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:44.920
found out that their favorite restaurant was
ready to be demolished, the property will

721
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:50.719
now be converted into a Sheets right
the gas station, which sheets is good?

722
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:57.320
I like sheets. I left them
very sad. Restaurant goers decided to

723
00:58:57.360 --> 00:59:04.639
hold a candlelight vigil for the Hooters. All right. I got some questions

724
00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:07.400
because every everybody they're interviewing in this
article, they're you know, they're telling

725
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:09.920
like why they're sad about this,
and they're saying things like, oh,

726
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:15.480
they have great wings, I love
the wings or a good happy hour for

727
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:20.960
the beer there. I feel like
they're all trying to come up with stuff.

728
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:22.079
You know, it would be amazing
none that I think about it,

729
00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:29.320
because some of the one guys quoted
is feeling bad for the staff, right

730
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:36.559
what why don't why don't just I'm
just throwing this out there for anybody who's

731
00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:39.039
in and I'm sure there's somebody listening. Is in any sort of management role

732
00:59:39.119 --> 00:59:45.400
within sheets? Can I make a
suggestion hire the girls to work with the

733
00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:53.719
sheets. I hire them to be
the cashiers or the kitchen people. You're

734
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:57.880
not allowed to talk to bet an
order from a computer and if you have

735
00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:01.320
questions, they just stare at you. Yeah, I mean, and you

736
01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:05.599
know what? And and tell them
they can just wear the same uniform.

737
01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:12.239
That'd be amazing. How many guys
out there are responsible for putting fuel in

738
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:19.599
the vehicles where for whatever reason,
like one spouse just won't guess my buddy's

739
01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:22.800
wife, I don't know if she
knows how to put gas in her car

740
01:00:23.880 --> 01:00:29.800
because he keeps it fueled up.
All right, Well, how much more

741
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:34.039
motivated would you be? Right?
You're you're the car could drop to three

742
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:37.079
quarters of a tank. Could he
be like, I better busy week coming

743
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:40.559
up, I better go top it
off. You're gonna be this would be

744
01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:46.800
This would be fantastic marketing for for
sheets and look in a in a in

745
01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:52.320
a world where you not have to
compete against BUCkies and many of their locations.

746
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:57.239
I feel like this would be a
solid move. But yeah, they

747
01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:02.519
are holding a candlelight and I'm just
saying this. I feel like there's a

748
01:01:02.519 --> 01:01:09.000
solution here if people are are willing
to think critically about it, and that's

749
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:12.920
free. I'm giving you that for
free, So take it, run with

750
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:16.239
it. I don't need anything.
Maybe some sheets gift cards, right,

751
01:01:16.320 --> 01:01:19.840
can go and inspect the sheets.
Wants it up. It's up, just

752
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:24.000
to make sure it fits with my
vision. But otherwise, good to go.

753
01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:28.719
You're welcome, all right. Eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight

754
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:35.960
seven four. Also, maybe have
some antiques there. I'm just saying,

755
01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:42.639
you never know, all right,
let me get over to this. So,

756
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:52.119
following the parade shooting, as they're
referring to it in Kansas City,

757
01:01:52.800 --> 01:02:00.679
the mayor of Kansas City is upset
with the governor. He's upset with the

758
01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:05.519
governor because of the old Canard that
there is a word you're not allowed to

759
01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:08.880
use because it is inherently racist,
even though it is a very accurate word

760
01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:17.760
to describe many situations. And well, I'm sure you've heard it. Here

761
01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:22.599
is the mayor very upset with the
governor. I have respect for the governor,

762
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:28.360
We get along. Well, I
disagree strongly with how he would describe

763
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:32.280
that situation. I certainly do think
this was criminal activity. It was lawlessness,

764
01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:38.920
and I think that that's troubling.
But thugs is a dog whistle in

765
01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:43.239
the most classic sense, and I
have seen this dog whistle time and again.

766
01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:46.519
There's this kind of giant conservative theory
on social media now that the reason

767
01:02:46.559 --> 01:02:51.800
that monk shots haven't been shown is
because the purported defendants are black, and

768
01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:52.960
if it were a white defendant,
we would have just shown them. It

769
01:02:53.000 --> 01:03:00.199
is absolutely preposterous. There are protections
to juveniles, right, except that's not

770
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:04.360
the case. That is one case, but that is not the totality of

771
01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:08.639
things. For the same reason,
people are not stupid, they recognize when

772
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:15.840
media outlets, whether through their own
decision making or because it is the way

773
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:22.639
that these things are communicated by law
enforcement based on what politicians want to the

774
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:29.159
citizenry out there. They they get
what's going on. When the police are

775
01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:35.440
looking for a suspect and the descriptor
is it was a male, when the

776
01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:39.800
old descriptor would include a lot more
information. People are not dumb, but

777
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:46.199
also what word, among others,
how is thug? And actually, let

778
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:50.400
me tell you what the guy what
he actually said. He said, we

779
01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:53.760
can't let this is the governor,
Mike Parson. We can't let some thugs

780
01:03:53.800 --> 01:04:00.239
and criminals take over and ruin in
this case, this, this, this

781
01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:03.800
parade, this Hey, you just
won the Super Bowl gathering which had eight

782
01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:10.000
hundred members of law enforcement unseen and
tens of thousands of people. If you

783
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:15.239
can't use the word thug to describe
somebody who would decide in the middle of

784
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:23.079
that to open fire to the tune
of twenty plus rounds, murdering somebody,

785
01:04:23.239 --> 01:04:30.920
wounding over a dozen others. In
fact, let's see eleven eleven of the

786
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:39.239
people wounded were children, and the
the individual killed was the mom to two

787
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:45.920
children. So you have eleven kids
wounded, this woman is dead, You

788
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:48.559
got another you know, ten or
so adults that are wounded. But you

789
01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:54.400
had somebody who because they had a
beef decided that it was fine to open

790
01:04:54.440 --> 01:05:03.360
fire. I'd thug is a very
appropriate word. And we're playing we're playing

791
01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:08.039
games over this. And to the
mayor's point, you probably saw the Ann

792
01:05:08.159 --> 01:05:15.199
Coulter audio or exchange on Bill Maher's
show, and she laid out this thing

793
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:19.400
that I think a lot of people
think is accurate. And we've seen it

794
01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:24.360
not just when it is race based, but also when there is things like

795
01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:32.199
the Manifesto and the Christian school shooter
in Tennessee, because the very same week

796
01:05:32.239 --> 01:05:35.800
you had another incident where the information
did come out quickly, but things I

797
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:39.840
was just I'm going to play this
an culture audio coming up. Let me

798
01:05:39.840 --> 01:05:43.440
grab some calls right after we do
that, so hang on, callers.

799
01:05:43.480 --> 01:05:47.039
But a culture on Bill Maher over
the weekend, and whether you like Ann

800
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:51.039
Culter you don't, it is entertaining
to watch her on Bill Maher. And

801
01:05:51.119 --> 01:05:58.400
if you've, of course, you
all remember the Donald Trump Wins twenty sixteen

802
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:03.039
super cut that had about nine billion
views on YouTube, and one of the

803
01:06:03.039 --> 01:06:09.360
first cuts depending on which version you
watch, is and Culter on Bill Maher

804
01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:12.559
and they simply ask her, of
the Republicans that are in the race,

805
01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:15.480
this is you know, there's still
sixteen of them in who has the best

806
01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:20.280
shot of getting the nomination and being
president? And she said Donald Trump and

807
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:26.639
Joy Reid and a handful of others
started laughing at her. Well, obviously

808
01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:31.280
she was correct. So there's beef
with the mayor of Kansas City, who's

809
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:35.920
mad at the governor for using the
term thugs to describe somebody who had opened

810
01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:42.559
fire into a crowd, wounding twenty
and killing somebody. That this is what

811
01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:46.079
we're arguing over. She decided to
comment on that, and what she said

812
01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:50.119
is accurate. And I can give
you a ton of examples. But the

813
01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:57.239
fact that Bill Maher and Van Jones, I don't know if they're disingenuous or

814
01:06:57.440 --> 01:07:01.440
just dumb pushback on this is amazing. I mean, we don't know who

815
01:07:01.559 --> 01:07:04.800
did this shooting. By the way, the Super Bowl shoe. We have

816
01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:11.440
some idea, what if it were
a white man shooting, we'd know,

817
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:15.760
Yes, well we don't know.
I mean that we know it's not a

818
01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.480
white man, I can tell you
that much. Do you think they were

819
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:24.719
repressing that reporting? They wouldn't tell
us about the transgender woman that shot up

820
01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:30.280
the Christian school for what like a
year, oh, San Bernardino out here,

821
01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:35.000
remember the crazy terrorist Muslims. That's
when I first noticed they're not telling

822
01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:39.320
us who it is. It's not
a white male. The longer they go

823
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:43.199
without telling you it's not a white
male. Okay, well we don't for

824
01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:46.119
this one for right now as of
Friday night, February sixteen. Now we

825
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:51.320
don't officially know. Okay, you
know you have special powers or she has

826
01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:57.159
the ability to run, pay attention
to news, to see the pictures and

827
01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:00.880
hear the descriptions of the people who
tackled and ask themselves that. And I

828
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:04.840
understand the juvenile angle to some extent, but that obviously doesn't hold true everywhere

829
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:09.079
ross What was the extent you use
the example the kid with his face painted

830
01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:12.920
right, There's tons of them.
There's Kyle Rittenhouse, there's the Covenom kid

831
01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:15.399
who was staring at the the drummer
right there in the Capitol. Oh yeah,

832
01:08:15.439 --> 01:08:20.279
yeah, yeah, yeah. Recently, the murderers suv uh, the

833
01:08:20.359 --> 01:08:26.279
murderous suv right, yeah, yeah, the headdress at the Kansas City game.

834
01:08:26.600 --> 01:08:30.920
Yeah yeah, there's a local example. People. People know that it's

835
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:35.399
it's so pass that people make jokes
about it, right, because it's so

836
01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:40.359
you hear a witness description and they're
like, uh, it was a dude,

837
01:08:40.840 --> 01:08:44.319
all right, you got anything else? Was was a dude with hair,

838
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:47.760
which, by the way, is
discriminatory against people with alopecia. So

839
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:50.600
yeah, I'm just throwing that out
there. It's so dumb, all right

840
01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:56.000
to the calls Baul, what's up
hey, case See, I just want

841
01:08:56.079 --> 01:08:59.600
to say this, This has been
going on for a while. Back in

842
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:03.239
the eight these Jesse Jackson start complaining, oh, you keep showing black men

843
01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:10.720
black men every time there's a there's
a crime. Well, if they're committing

844
01:09:10.760 --> 01:09:14.960
the crime, you show them.
And it's not people fault that the prodep

845
01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:18.760
people that are predominantly doing a lot
of these murder these game violence. It's

846
01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:25.479
black. And yes, people knew
it was somebody black. Case last week

847
01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:29.680
they showed the big black dude wearing
red shirt. Then they show the young

848
01:09:29.720 --> 01:09:34.039
black dude with a dress. And
this whole thing started under this Black Lives

849
01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:42.399
Matter that, oh black men were
victims of white projection. Thug. Oh

850
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:46.000
they don't call them thugs. Well, what do you do when you call

851
01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:50.760
a culture that calls themselves thugs?
How many young black men? If you

852
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:55.920
go on their Facebook Twitter you go, you see, I'm a thug,

853
01:09:56.079 --> 01:10:00.239
thug, thug. How many of
them dressed like thugs and caned themselves like

854
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:02.439
thugs. And yes, there is
a way to dress like a thug.

855
01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:06.119
There is a way to carry yourself
like a thug. But all of a

856
01:10:06.159 --> 01:10:12.319
sudden, when people notice, hey, this culture is sluggish, and I

857
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:15.920
must say it, because I'm pretty
sure you would say, Jamal, I

858
01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:20.199
can't say that the black black culture
is thuggish. Majority of black culture to

859
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:26.680
this day is thus some of it
celeb Isn't there a rapper whose name is

860
01:10:26.760 --> 01:10:31.720
thug? How many? Well that's
how many? Oh young thumg. Oh,

861
01:10:31.840 --> 01:10:36.000
the one young thing here was Oh
and the one that's Fanny Willis is

862
01:10:36.960 --> 01:10:42.520
I think prosecuting yeah, young thugs. She's prosecuting him in Atlanta for drugs

863
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:45.000
and games and look how she acts. But that's another sot, another thing.

864
01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:48.640
But yeah, k s that's the
whole thing. The black community did

865
01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:53.319
all this crying, all this bullhorn. After Saint George Floyd of the Fending

866
01:10:53.399 --> 01:10:57.359
all met for Lot Baptist Church.
They sat there and said, oh,

867
01:10:57.399 --> 01:11:00.119
we're getting a bad image, of
bad image, and we are living up

868
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:04.760
to that bad image. It's not
a bad image, it's what we ourselves

869
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:11.720
as black folk, are putting out
there. I'm just saying. I'm just

870
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:13.960
saying, if you're gonna if you
go shoot up in the middle of a

871
01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:17.600
crowded event like that and you're doing
so because of some some sort of that's

872
01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:20.399
that's That's what I'm gonna go with. That's the word I'm gonna go with,

873
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:24.439
among others. I got lots of
words for people who would who would

874
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:28.119
do that, white, black,
brown, or whatever. And you're right,

875
01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:33.159
and the behavior speaks to it whomever
it may be. So and you

876
01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:38.479
know what, case don't people notice
this is what stands to happen to a

877
01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:44.800
lot of black officials if they get
into things like mayors and offices, there's

878
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:48.399
things they keep trying to have this
view. Their job is to uphold black

879
01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:53.720
image instead of uphold a law.
Perfect example, Durham, we had a

880
01:11:53.760 --> 01:11:57.880
black mayor a judge, and look
all the shoes and stuff we had the

881
01:11:57.960 --> 01:12:00.119
Durham. But she wouldn't go up
there and say, judge O'Neil. She

882
01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:03.399
wan't to go up there and say
thugs. We have thugs hearing Durham,

883
01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:10.840
we have Cluton's here and thrumb Durham. But they won't say that's always under

884
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:16.199
privilege and all this other crap that
don't determine whether or not you commit crimes.

885
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:20.720
And for all the poor people who
don't commit crimes, it's a slap

886
01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:26.119
in the face, especially to the
black community who had one time, we

887
01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:30.079
was in poverty, We were discriminated
at one time, and we didn't do

888
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:33.039
this type of behavior. But today
there is no white man stopping us,

889
01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:39.800
there is no racial discrimination stopping us. But we prefer to be thugs and

890
01:12:39.840 --> 01:12:45.119
then get mad when you call us
thugs. Well again, for me,

891
01:12:45.399 --> 01:12:47.319
it is the behavior, and you're
right. And I got a great example

892
01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:55.079
of actual, really racist stuff based
on something a TV station did over the

893
01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:58.279
weekend, which I'll get to here
in just a few minutes. By the

894
01:12:58.279 --> 01:13:03.560
way, you're almost through the worst
of it, So congratulations, because arguably

895
01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:08.359
it's drinking that stuff the night before
that is the worst part of a Colonoscar

896
01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:12.800
Peachamo. So look, I just
pulled up. Look I'm actually in front

897
01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:15.199
of the place right now about to
step in. But I'm telling you if

898
01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:19.319
I come back, woop and that
man smoking a cigarette, Yeah, we

899
01:13:19.119 --> 01:13:23.760
hit. We had a waterful time, KC. I'm running. Yeah all

900
01:13:23.840 --> 01:13:28.119
right, yeah, tell the doctor
you were antiquing over the weekend too,

901
01:13:28.239 --> 01:13:30.920
that's what they want to hear.
So all right, get out of here.

902
01:13:32.039 --> 01:13:38.760
Uh Jamal is about to get probed. So hey man, that's the

903
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:41.880
ross. Have you had the pleasure
of one of those yet? Have you

904
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:46.000
had the No? I'm not that
he is yet, but no, you

905
01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:48.439
don't have to be. Yeah,
no, the last time. And so

906
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:53.239
I had my my my yearly physical
like a month or so ago, and

907
01:13:53.279 --> 01:13:55.520
the guy came in. He was
like, all right, he's like,

908
01:13:55.800 --> 01:14:00.000
next year is the year snapping gloves. Well, yeah, they shouldn't see.

909
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:02.560
I'm so excited about that. That
was It really was because I had,

910
01:14:02.600 --> 01:14:08.039
I had, I had. I
was in the hospital literally for an

911
01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:13.279
intestinal thing, and they're they're like, all right, well we're gonna have

912
01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:15.640
to do a colonoscopy, and I
was I was ready. I was gonna

913
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:17.600
pull my driver's license out because I'm
like, uh huh no, no,

914
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:21.560
not me yet. So but by
far the worst part was having to drink

915
01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:27.800
all that crap the night before because
you're just it does what it's supposed to.

916
01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:30.000
So by by the time you get
in there, you feel so defeated

917
01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:33.000
by that you're just like, let's
get this over with, right, You're

918
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:36.560
propping yourself up on the table.
So all right, well one day,

919
01:14:36.600 --> 01:14:41.119
one day man? All right,
uh not Matt, Okay, what's up?

920
01:14:41.199 --> 01:14:45.840
Person who's not Matt read guys,
thanks for taking my call. You

921
01:14:45.960 --> 01:14:53.600
bet go ahead. So I first
of all, educate me a little bit

922
01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:57.159
on the news. So, like
during that commercial break a little while ago,

923
01:14:57.199 --> 01:15:00.039
you got a guide that's doing the
like news updates podcast from in your

924
01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:03.119
studio. Well, he's got his
own studio, but he's yeah, he's

925
01:15:03.319 --> 01:15:06.479
he's local, he's out of Raleigh, so he's got he's in the news.

926
01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:11.439
He's got a news his own news
apparatus. So like Ross is in

927
01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:14.159
his own studiato, Yeah, I
have my own studio, and Kyle,

928
01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:18.279
who's our news guy, has has
his own So so y'all need to deliver

929
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:25.520
some donuts to him. Because that
report on the boom in Durham that so,

930
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:28.640
while while the news was going on, I had to just read an

931
01:15:28.760 --> 01:15:31.800
article from the News and Observer.
I've never read a real article that read

932
01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:35.920
more similarly to the Babylon b in
my entire life. Yeah, they they

933
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:41.239
they swing for the fences on some
of that insanity. No, occasionally,

934
01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:45.039
Kyle has an interesting delivery technique and
I I I laughed as well at the

935
01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:51.439
Durham story. So did Yeah it
was you didn't catch it, Kyle said.

936
01:15:51.439 --> 01:15:55.119
For those who didn't catch it,
Kyle says in his news he said,

937
01:15:55.439 --> 01:15:58.479
uh, peace in the Middle East
thanks to the Durham City Council who

938
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:02.760
voted for a ceasefire resolution because you
know they have that purview five to two

939
01:16:02.920 --> 01:16:06.039
yesterday and I did laugh. So
anyway, what but that's not what you

940
01:16:06.079 --> 01:16:09.359
called to talk about. What was
what was the topic you want to know?

941
01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:14.439
No? Yeah, so so this
this this South Carolina sheets that is

942
01:16:14.479 --> 01:16:17.920
coming into town West Virginia, West
Virginia. Yeah yeah, Oh it's in

943
01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:23.119
West Virginia. Why did I think
it was because it's Charleston. It's Charleston,

944
01:16:23.159 --> 01:16:25.680
but Charleston, West Virginia. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah you said

945
01:16:25.720 --> 01:16:30.840
Charlie did West Virginia? Yeah?
Right? Okay, So yeah, how

946
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:34.640
your your comment was, why don't
we just hire this former staff to support

947
01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:38.880
the sheets? Yeah? And I'm
like, well, I this could be

948
01:16:38.920 --> 01:16:43.600
the first sheets in the country.
That's got fifteen full service pumps. Right

949
01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:45.119
now, I see what you did
there. I'm just saying, look,

950
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:49.680
I want I don't want these ladies
losing their gigs. I'm just I'm thinking,

951
01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:54.399
I'm thinking of these these hard working
waitresses, and I'm just saying,

952
01:16:54.439 --> 01:16:59.359
look, the payscales probably similar.
Just you know, now, yeah you

953
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:02.399
were you were sling and chicken wings
earlier, and now you're you're a cashier,

954
01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:05.760
right so, and you don't have
to pay for uniforms. And I

955
01:17:05.800 --> 01:17:12.359
bet they do brisk business, sir. So let's try to help and be

956
01:17:12.439 --> 01:17:14.880
like, hey, if you need
gat. That's the thing. That's where

957
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:16.359
guys who get in trouble and thanks
for the call, they're Matt or not

958
01:17:16.479 --> 01:17:19.079
Matt. That's where guys who get
in trouble, they'd be like, honey,

959
01:17:19.079 --> 01:17:23.000
I'm gonna go fill up the suv
and then they would come home and

960
01:17:23.000 --> 01:17:24.920
it would be on empty and they'd
be like, what happened? You're like,

961
01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:29.760
well, Charleston is a very long
drive, and so I think that's

962
01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:32.920
how you'd get busted if I had
to guess. But you know, there

963
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:35.920
you go, all right, now
you know what, let me just say

964
01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:40.520
this. I don't need you to
email me your colonoscopy stories. Folks.

965
01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:46.079
I'm good, thank you. Don't
one two, three, four of you,

966
01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:50.279
four of you wanted to share and
not everything needs to be shared,

967
01:17:51.880 --> 01:17:55.960
is all that I'm saying, all
right, eight eight, eight, nine,

968
01:17:56.039 --> 01:17:59.439
three four seventy eight Sevenfore you got
to set some ground rules down.

969
01:18:00.279 --> 01:18:02.520
Uh and oh I mentioned with Jamal
that's what I was gonna go to.

970
01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:15.560
Sorry, a TV station over the
weekend is apologizing and it's why do they

971
01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:19.239
always get in trouble during these uh
these stupid little non news segments, right,

972
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:24.039
like, uh, do you remember
Kittler? Do you remember the Kittler

973
01:18:24.039 --> 01:18:28.880
incident? If you don't remember the
Kitler incident, they have like this stupid

974
01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:32.279
little segment where people send in their
pet photos, right, and somebody sent

975
01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:38.199
a picture of this cat. And
the way that the cat's coloration works is

976
01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:42.680
it's a predominantly white cat and then
it's got splotches of black and brown,

977
01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:47.439
and it just so happens that directly
under its little nose, it has a

978
01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:58.039
little rectangular patch of hair. And
the cat's name is Kittler. Right,

979
01:18:58.279 --> 01:19:02.800
yeah, well you under and in
the in the goofy Pets segment. They

980
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:09.840
were like, and listen, this
is viewer Mike's cat named Kitler, and

981
01:19:09.920 --> 01:19:15.439
like this this bubblehead didn't understand what
she was showing. And I don't know

982
01:19:15.520 --> 01:19:20.359
whether she also gathers the cat photos
and was the only person who had eyes

983
01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:25.960
on this thing. But the name
of the cat, coupled with the fact

984
01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:30.119
that it looks like it's got a
Hitler mustache, is immediately recognizable. And

985
01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:36.239
I thought that that would be the
shining example of not paying attention and having

986
01:19:36.279 --> 01:19:41.479
to issue an apology. I can
remember if they fired her or not.

987
01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:45.439
I don't remember following up, but
as you can imagine, if they had

988
01:19:45.479 --> 01:19:54.439
to issue an apology. Well,
then the TV station in Portland decided they

989
01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:59.560
said hold my beer, and they
were doing a segment where people send in

990
01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:02.560
their old timey photos, right,
and it's a lot of stuff. It's

991
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:06.239
like, hey, here's my mom
and dad from the sixties, here's my

992
01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:13.199
grandfather after he got home from the
war, and so viewers would send their

993
01:20:13.199 --> 01:20:16.239
photos in and one of the photos
that was sent in is from the nineteen

994
01:20:16.279 --> 01:20:23.039
fifties and it's a bunch of boy
scouts at like a fair and they're at

995
01:20:23.039 --> 01:20:28.560
a booth rethrow at the milk jugs
and they had to issue an apology.

996
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:30.760
Here it is, that's all the
time we have. Thanks so much for

997
01:20:30.880 --> 01:20:32.039
joining us on the good stuff.
Tonight, we're going to leave you with

998
01:20:32.079 --> 01:20:36.159
a few more of your wonderful throwback
photos. Thanks so much for sending them

999
01:20:36.199 --> 01:20:41.600
in Coachently, everybody, have a
great night, all right, So now

1000
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:45.720
the photos are they are? There's
one Oh oh wait, what's that?

1001
01:20:45.439 --> 01:20:48.760
Oh my gosh, what's the one
with the boy scouts? What is happening

1002
01:20:48.800 --> 01:20:55.439
here? And when I tell you, when I tell you that, there

1003
01:20:55.479 --> 01:21:00.079
is no way, unless Helen Keller
was assembling the photo montage, that this

1004
01:21:00.199 --> 01:21:03.960
should have happened, I am not
exaggerating. Ross. I didn't tell you

1005
01:21:04.039 --> 01:21:08.479
what it was. Were you able
to pick up on why that photo might

1006
01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:14.039
be problematic immediately? And I thought, because of what the story is,

1007
01:21:14.119 --> 01:21:15.359
I thought it was going to be
something that isn't racist, that they were

1008
01:21:15.359 --> 01:21:19.119
perceiving as or something bad that was
not right because the one photo before they

1009
01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:21.399
show like kids with their guns gun
training, like, oh, this is

1010
01:21:21.560 --> 01:21:25.319
an anti gun thing, and then
it shows the actual photo. I'm like,

1011
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:28.640
oh, dear lord, yeah,
yeah, So the actual photo in

1012
01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:32.279
question is of the boy Scouts at
whatever this booth is, except it's not

1013
01:21:32.439 --> 01:21:35.720
called a dunk booth. It's not
like, hey, come throw at the

1014
01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:44.039
milk cans. It's knocked down the
N word, baby, and it's in

1015
01:21:44.239 --> 01:21:48.079
big letters in this thing. And
somebody had that photo, sent that photo.

1016
01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:56.000
Somebody assembled that photo at the TV
station and literally included it in a

1017
01:21:56.079 --> 01:22:00.479
montage. And it's not in a
distance either. It is prom obviously,

1018
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:06.600
I you just gotta go see it. It's out there, and obviously they're

1019
01:22:06.640 --> 01:22:11.079
apologizing. I don't know how that
happened, but it happened. We'll be

1020
01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:17.800
back the death of Russian opposition dude
and some claimed former CIA asset navalni.

1021
01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:21.800
Right, So this is the dude
who was in prison who they tried to

1022
01:22:21.840 --> 01:22:26.119
kill him with nerve agent years ago. He's wasting away in a gulag.

1023
01:22:26.279 --> 01:22:31.199
He does a video conference like one
day seems I guess, as healthy as

1024
01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:34.720
you can being shut away in a
gulag. And the next day apparently he

1025
01:22:34.760 --> 01:22:41.840
went for a walk and just dropped
it. And obviously anything having to do

1026
01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:45.800
with putin nobody buys that stuff,
so it wasn't There's an article about a

1027
01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:50.680
woman who was sentenced to fifteen days
in jail for quote, publicly mourning Navalney's

1028
01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:57.640
death, and the outrage that that
has brought. And they couldn't help themselves.

1029
01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:02.079
A writer for The Guardian along with
this, it's like a substack thing

1030
01:23:02.159 --> 01:23:12.800
called pamphlets, decided to write something
in comment about the story and the outrage

1031
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:16.119
that people see over this young woman
standing in a court who was public and

1032
01:23:16.199 --> 01:23:23.640
her opposition to what happened in Volney
now going to do fifteen days and this

1033
01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:30.079
I have to read this to you
because it's just I hope you're sitting out

1034
01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:34.880
all right. Here we go.
So they got the picture in the article

1035
01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:41.399
says young Russian woman being sentenced to
fifteen days in jail for publicly mourning Navalney's

1036
01:23:41.399 --> 01:23:44.640
stuff and above, excuse me,
I got the hiccups now. Oh no,

1037
01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:47.520
I wonder if I've been poisoned ross. Oh no, what did putin

1038
01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:50.439
get to my tea this morning?
All right? Well, better get this

1039
01:23:50.479 --> 01:23:56.920
out quick, all right? It
says the United States is not any better.

1040
01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:03.199
The United States arrested fourteen thous in
George Floyd mourners, thousands of which

1041
01:24:03.279 --> 01:24:10.239
remain in in for profit prisons.
Do you remember the big the big purge

1042
01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:15.159
of the George Floyd mourners that they
arrested for mourning. Did you realize that

1043
01:24:15.600 --> 01:24:21.880
fourteen thousand people were arrested for mourning
George Floyd. I did not. I

1044
01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:28.079
didn't. I was I guess I
was under a false impression. I did

1045
01:24:28.079 --> 01:24:32.159
not realize that, like what was
going on in places like Portland was was,

1046
01:24:32.239 --> 01:24:35.319
you know, just people trying to
do you remember how much they were

1047
01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:41.279
mourning in Portland, especially around that
Federal courthouse. All the morning that was

1048
01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:45.199
going on. I feel like every
day we had a new story in the

1049
01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:49.680
stack about mourning in Portland or some
other place. I didn't realize it was

1050
01:24:49.720 --> 01:24:57.479
fourteen thousand mourners that were arrested.
So that's sorry. That was just a

1051
01:24:57.520 --> 01:25:02.560
big blind spot for me, I
guess when I was assembling the news.

1052
01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:06.880
And then Minneapolis, remember all the
morning in Minneapolis, including on Lake Street,

1053
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:12.439
literally including the Target that I used
to shop at when I lived in

1054
01:25:12.439 --> 01:25:16.359
Minneapolis, when I lived in that
part of town, and basically that whole

1055
01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:24.199
street into uptown. Just the morning
has left it unrecognizable to what I remember

1056
01:25:24.279 --> 01:25:28.600
during my time living there. And
then obviously we had more. Remember when

1057
01:25:28.640 --> 01:25:31.000
the governor came out to mourn with
the people and had his mask off,

1058
01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:39.000
remember that photo. So yeah,
yeah, fourteen thousand George Floyd mourners.

1059
01:25:39.159 --> 01:25:43.479
In fact, I believe there was
morning in Charlotte over the weekend and the

1060
01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:49.439
police had to step in to break
up the morning. We'll talk to We'll

1061
01:25:49.439 --> 01:25:53.479
have Pete Calender on later in the
weekend. I'm sure we'll touch on that.

1062
01:25:53.640 --> 01:26:00.079
But anyway, there you go.
Oh man, that is I was

1063
01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:05.039
so misinformed, But now we're good. So this story out of New York's

1064
01:26:05.039 --> 01:26:17.119
crazy Saint Patrick's Cathedral very uh,
I guess the very famous church. Uh.

1065
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:25.319
For for a lot of reasons.
It's well, I remember it's where

1066
01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:28.319
was it? Who was it who
got in trouble? Is it Howard Stern?

1067
01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:30.720
That was a big thing he got
in trouble, right, wasn't the

1068
01:26:30.760 --> 01:26:34.039
bit he sent a couple in to
have sex in the confession booth? Was

1069
01:26:34.079 --> 01:26:38.039
Opie and Anthony? That's right?
Yeah, they sent somebody there to have

1070
01:26:38.079 --> 01:26:42.600
sex in the confession in the in
the confession both, right, and so

1071
01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:47.199
that that was one of the stories. So now they're apologizing and had to

1072
01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:57.680
hold a special church service to essentially
purge the demons based on an incident that

1073
01:26:57.800 --> 01:27:02.800
happened on Friday of video servest of
a funeral mass for an individual by the

1074
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:11.000
name of Cecilia Gentilly at the famous
New York Cathedral, and to say that

1075
01:27:11.119 --> 01:27:15.960
it raised some eyebrows for a number
of reasons would be an understatement. First

1076
01:27:15.960 --> 01:27:28.079
and foremost, Gentilly was famously an
atheist. And if you know anything about

1077
01:27:29.920 --> 01:27:33.920
doctor and religious doctrine, especially within
the Catholic Church, and they're not the

1078
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:41.279
only religion, but having a funeral
mass inside of the church or being buried

1079
01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:46.119
in one of the cemeteries, you
kind of have to be a member.

1080
01:27:47.359 --> 01:27:51.760
It's not as it's not as hold
fast as it was, but it is

1081
01:27:51.840 --> 01:28:00.199
a thing. So when the video
surfaced of the transgender atheist funeral and you

1082
01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:05.079
heard the audio, to say that
many people were outraged would be an understatement.

1083
01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:11.520
Here we go, well, welcome
to Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Except on

1084
01:28:11.600 --> 01:28:15.399
Easter Sunday, we don't really have
a crowd that this that is this well

1085
01:28:15.479 --> 01:28:30.920
turned out. You know, hilarious
jokes too, anyway, all right,

1086
01:28:30.960 --> 01:28:34.439
so everyone's very excited and it is
quite the crowds as you'll see in the

1087
01:28:34.479 --> 01:28:45.199
Idiot it was. And it was
celebrity though too. And sequence was apparently

1088
01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:50.399
shiny sequence, it was apparently the
despot normal surface noments. Okay, all

1089
01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:54.359
right, all right anyway, ha
ha ha hounny funny are you get to

1090
01:28:54.439 --> 01:28:58.479
it with that major the kind of
accommodation? Well, okay, okay,

1091
01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:03.479
yep. And they're trying to move
it along too, because like it's it's

1092
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:06.960
it's really weird. What's going on? Anyone who's been to a Catholic funeral,

1093
01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:15.520
Catholic mass, it is unrecognizable and
it may not sound that way,

1094
01:29:17.800 --> 01:29:26.960
but once you get into this.
Oscar Diez, who identified as Gentilly I

1095
01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:32.600
had quite the fan base and quote
a fabulous legacy pearls and various shiny dresses

1096
01:29:32.720 --> 01:29:39.800
worn, and that's just what Gentilly
was wearing. Obviously, the crowd was

1097
01:29:40.079 --> 01:29:44.199
bordrn like you don't see a lot
of feather boas at any of the Catholic

1098
01:29:44.239 --> 01:29:45.920
masses I've been to. But hey, you know what, it's New York

1099
01:29:46.560 --> 01:29:53.319
a little more progressive. But how
did the service actually sound? Well that's

1100
01:29:53.359 --> 01:29:57.600
where we're gonna go ahead and get
into this. Tell me if this is

1101
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:01.039
something you recognize for anyone who's ever
been to a to a funeral at a

1102
01:30:01.079 --> 01:30:13.840
Catholic church, this horror, this
great horror, Saint Cecilia, mother of

1103
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:18.359
all whores. So that's different.
And I've been to quite a few Catholic

1104
01:30:18.600 --> 01:30:26.319
funerals. I've never heard the deceased
referred to as the mother of whores or

1105
01:30:26.359 --> 01:30:29.640
a horror for that matter. And
so this, this is, this literally

1106
01:30:29.680 --> 01:30:33.920
transpired in this church, and apparently
only after the church officials, in hearing

1107
01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:38.039
from folks, decide, you know, they got to do something. People

1108
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:43.880
are upset, so they literally held
a I'm sorry the name of it escapes

1109
01:30:43.920 --> 01:30:47.039
me, but an atonement mass.
I can't remember what it's exactly called,

1110
01:30:47.159 --> 01:30:50.960
but basically in do you remember that
tech in Texas, that priest who was

1111
01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:55.399
filming a porno in the in the
church, they had to like purge it

1112
01:30:55.720 --> 01:31:00.560
as the oldest That's what they did
over the weekend following the outrage ensued.

1113
01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:03.720
I've never seen anything like it,
and that is a church with a lot

1114
01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:11.399
of legacy that I am. I'm
baffled by how it was allowed to play

1115
01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:13.680
out, But we'll tweet out the
video if you want to check it,

1116
01:31:14.479 --> 01:31:20.399
including the the horror eulogy or whatever
they were going for. Bag Ross labeled

1117
01:31:20.399 --> 01:31:24.079
at three ards of my button.
Bar thank you, because I knew exactly

1118
01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:27.479
which one it was, all right, Jeff bar from the Weather Channel unfortunately

1119
01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:30.399
as to follow that, But that's
okay. He's got an easy gig with

1120
01:31:30.760 --> 01:31:34.520
what is i'll say, comfortable weather
this week. We appreciate it. Go

1121
01:31:34.600 --> 01:31:38.319
right ahead, sir, and I've
got a calling well day coming up next

1122
01:31:38.359 --> 01:31:42.000
Monday, when we see sunshining and
get into the low seventies. So hey,

1123
01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:44.399
man, if you're not feeling well, you're not feeling well, Yeah,

1124
01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:45.960
I mean, what can you do
exactly? But yeah, temperatures on

1125
01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:48.800
the rise as we make our way
through the next few days into the middle

1126
01:31:48.840 --> 01:31:51.239
portion of this week, up to
fifty seven today, we'll see some clouds

1127
01:31:51.239 --> 01:31:55.239
streaming in during the afternoon. It's
still dry and then clearing tonight with a

1128
01:31:55.279 --> 01:31:58.600
low dipping to twenty nine into the
upper fifties with sun tomorrow about a high

1129
01:31:58.720 --> 01:32:01.439
sixty four on Thursday. With China
wins increasing out of the southwest front brings

1130
01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:04.640
in showers Thursday night and early on
Friday. That rainy exits during the afternoon

1131
01:32:04.680 --> 01:32:08.079
of the high of sixty six,
a little bit cooler behind the front,

1132
01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:11.239
with sunshine during the weekend and highs
in the upper fifties to low sixties.

1133
01:32:11.439 --> 01:32:15.039
Then a beautiful start the week on
Monday will be sunny and warmer as the

1134
01:32:15.079 --> 01:32:17.680
high temperature hits seventy two degrees.
All right, Jeff, thank you,

1135
01:32:17.680 --> 01:32:20.319
we'll chat with you tomorrow again.
You have a good one, sir.

1136
01:32:20.520 --> 01:32:25.640
And Joan Donagher is in for Jeff
Bellinger. We'll talk to her coming up

1137
01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:30.520
next. Joan Doneagher in for Jeff. Joan, what's happening well? TV

1138
01:32:30.680 --> 01:32:33.640
maker Visio will become part of Walmart
now. Walmart says it has a deal

1139
01:32:33.680 --> 01:32:39.119
to buy Visio for two and a
third billion dollars. It's looking, according

1140
01:32:39.119 --> 01:32:42.039
to The Wall Street Journal, to
make AD revenue a big part of its

1141
01:32:42.079 --> 01:32:45.680
future. That deal would let Walmart
sell ads through the TVs that Visio makes

1142
01:32:45.680 --> 01:32:50.680
by giving it access to a TV
operating system. Walmart. Meantime, scenes

1143
01:32:51.279 --> 01:32:57.119
consumer caution ahead. The retail giant
expects us to be very selective in our

1144
01:32:57.159 --> 01:33:00.000
spending this year because we're spending less
per trip, but the company says we

1145
01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:03.800
actually have been shopping often. The
other big deal today, of course,

1146
01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:09.680
is the plan by Capital One to
buy Discover for thirty five billion dollars in

1147
01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:15.560
stock. Capital One says yes,
Discover cards will still exist if regulators approve

1148
01:33:15.640 --> 01:33:19.680
the deal, and an economics professor
says it was triggered by the huge expense

1149
01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:25.840
of technology. There was less doing
at home Depot than the home improvement retailer

1150
01:33:25.880 --> 01:33:29.640
wanted to see. Last quarter and
last year, the company's increase in profits

1151
01:33:29.640 --> 01:33:33.079
fell short of expectations year over year, and so did sales. Comparable sales

1152
01:33:33.079 --> 01:33:38.279
for the quarter fell a not a
tick less than predicted, but in the

1153
01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:42.520
US, comparable sales fell four percent. High mortgage rates, the slowdown in

1154
01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:46.520
construction, all of that gets the
blame. Law enforcement agencies from eleven different

1155
01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:50.560
countries say they have busted one of
the most prolific hacker groups of all time,

1156
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:57.640
lock Bit. They seized eleven thousand
domains used by Lockbit and its affiliates

1157
01:33:57.880 --> 01:34:01.079
to launch ransomware attacks. One official
saying we have hacked the hackers now.

1158
01:34:01.119 --> 01:34:05.199
The FBI was in on this and
two Lockbed actors now have been arrested in

1159
01:34:05.279 --> 01:34:11.680
Poland and Ukraine. French and US
authorities have issued three international warrants and five

1160
01:34:11.720 --> 01:34:16.279
indictments in all and finally, Casey, Tinder is falling following the old journalism

1161
01:34:16.359 --> 01:34:18.800
rule. You know, if your
mother says she loves you, verify it

1162
01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:24.880
with a second source. Now,
Tinder is expanding its ID verification program.

1163
01:34:25.319 --> 01:34:28.800
Because of artificial intelligence, it can
make it hard to tell who's real and

1164
01:34:28.840 --> 01:34:31.079
who's a scammer. Tinder is going
to roll out that system here in the

1165
01:34:31.199 --> 01:34:35.399
US and some other countries in coming
months. It's already tested it in Australia

1166
01:34:35.439 --> 01:34:39.960
and New Zealand, and apparently it
works, Tinder says, because folks who've

1167
01:34:39.960 --> 01:34:43.920
been verified saw a two thirds increase
in matches compared to those who didn't.

1168
01:34:44.239 --> 01:34:47.680
You need a valid driver's license or
passport and self recorded video. A third

1169
01:34:47.680 --> 01:34:51.680
party checks the birth date and whether
the face in the video selfie matches your

1170
01:34:51.720 --> 01:34:58.479
profile pictures and I d ah okay, well, I uh, I feel

1171
01:34:58.479 --> 01:35:00.479
like it was nice to have an
excuse as to why nobody wrote you back.

1172
01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:03.760
So now they're going to get rid
of that. Yeah, unfortunately.

1173
01:35:03.920 --> 01:35:06.319
All right, Well, Joan,
appreciate it. We'll chat all week,

1174
01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:10.319
So talk to you tomorrow. All
right, talk to you tomorrow. Thanks,

1175
01:35:10.359 --> 01:35:15.359
there you go, Joan Donager Bloomberg
News. All right, real quick,

1176
01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:17.439
I started, I teased this story
and then we got sidetracked because the

1177
01:35:17.439 --> 01:35:20.439
guy in the kilt was putting antiques
in his rear end. So let me

1178
01:35:20.439 --> 01:35:27.760
get back to this. So the
CIA declassifying several documents, and this is

1179
01:35:27.800 --> 01:35:30.119
something they do kind of on the
regular and I thought it was fascinating because

1180
01:35:30.119 --> 01:35:36.119
there's a couple stories that we knew
about, but we got more detail on,

1181
01:35:36.319 --> 01:35:42.800
like Project Acoustic Kitty. You've probably
heard about Acoustic Kitty, right if

1182
01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:47.239
you don't remember, In the nineteen
sixties, the CIA spent twenty million dollars

1183
01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:56.479
training a cat and surgically altering the
cat by implementing a microphone and a small

1184
01:35:56.600 --> 01:36:01.760
radio transmitter in the cat. And
the reason was the Russian embassy. There

1185
01:36:01.800 --> 01:36:04.840
was a lot of stray cats,
I guess whatever, and they and they

1186
01:36:04.880 --> 01:36:09.319
also had cats there. So the
plan was, you wire up the cat,

1187
01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:14.840
you go, you let it go. It runs onto the grounds undetected

1188
01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:16.720
because other cats, and who knows, maybe it ends up in a room

1189
01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:24.560
capturing some important information. The problem
was, on the day they went to

1190
01:36:24.600 --> 01:36:30.239
release the cat, they were across
the street from the embassy. They let

1191
01:36:30.239 --> 01:36:33.319
the cat out of the car and
as it is blining it for the Russian

1192
01:36:33.319 --> 01:36:39.560
embassy, it is immediately smoked by
a taxi. So you have a twenty

1193
01:36:39.600 --> 01:36:45.239
million dollars stray that gets run over
two seconds into its mission. So they

1194
01:36:45.279 --> 01:36:48.640
released more documents on that, and
a story I've told on the show before,

1195
01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:54.319
just I'm gonna have to rapid fire
this the rigging of the Philippine elections

1196
01:36:54.359 --> 01:36:57.279
in the nineteen fifties. So the
dude we wanted in there was a puppet,

1197
01:36:58.239 --> 01:37:02.479
but he was also not the preferred
candidate. So how did they How

1198
01:37:02.479 --> 01:37:08.600
did they win? Because the guy
who was going to win was he was

1199
01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:12.239
freedom fighter dude. They had a
bunch of rebels living in the mountains,

1200
01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:15.800
and so they did two things.
One they made the dude look like he

1201
01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:18.680
was a big old man whore,
which culturally was not a good thing.

1202
01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:21.880
But two, they couldn't figure out
how do you get how do you get

1203
01:37:21.880 --> 01:37:28.079
the rebels in in in the in
the mountains right? How do you deal

1204
01:37:28.119 --> 01:37:32.000
with that? And so what they
CIA did is they knew that they had

1205
01:37:32.039 --> 01:37:38.880
a local superstition about vampires or essentially
a vampire thing. So what they did

1206
01:37:39.079 --> 01:37:41.960
is they went into the went into
the mountains and they found one of the

1207
01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:47.880
centuries, one of the lookouts.
They grabbed the dude killed him, putting

1208
01:37:48.159 --> 01:37:55.119
pretend vampire bites all over his now
dismembered body, and it worked so efficiently

1209
01:37:55.279 --> 01:37:59.720
that due to the superstition, many
of the rebels left the woods because they

1210
01:37:59.720 --> 01:38:04.039
were heard of the vampires and successfully
the CIA. They even made the guy

1211
01:38:04.079 --> 01:38:09.079
who was president write a letter saying
that he would do whatever we want.
