Remember remember number. Oh all right, fine, it's only Wednesday, but
we'll go ahead and do this thing. Good morning, c O Day Radio
program Poe number eight eight eight nine three fours cousin eight seven four. All
right, I want to be I want to be semi delicate here because I'm
not I'm not hacking on him in any way, shape or form, because
I recognize dudes overworked. He's got just so much going on. And so
like yesterday, yesa was just one of it was one of those crazy post
show like exchanges. Ross and I were having text exchanges, right, so
the show's over, people are gone, people are going home whatever, and
Ross sends me this quizzical email or text, right, the thing that set
it off. I want to go back and look at it, dude,
do do do? All right? So he says, our engineer says,
a piece of equipment is food bard use a different word, and we'll have
to use the backup tomorrow. And it was weird because it was, yeah,
it's it's uh, connective equipment that's in our in our audio chain every
day just kind of does its thing and we have to have one of it.
But it's fine. So he sends me that, and I'm like,
how does it I wrote about I'm like, Russ, didn't we just we
just used that and everything sounded good all day, right, And You're like,
yeah, right, No, everything was fine, and I you assumed
that I said something like I complained about it. I assumed that you said
something about it. So we're both operating under this assumption like one of the
two of us said something to engineering, right, because I was I was
completely unaware there was an issue. You're right, all right, so you're
said to me this. I think you're trolling me. I think you're doing
one of your classic Oh man, my TV exploded, couldn't watch the whatever
it was, right, But then Ross sends me like text exchange with our
engineer and I'm like, oh wow, okay, And then I thought,
well, okay, well maybe he was in the rack room just testing various
pieces of equipment and what a lucky find because we have backup for it.
But but still then you're like paranoid because you know you're on your backup and
you gonna make changes and stuff like that. It's you just don't need you
know. How we operate around here when we have technical issues, we like
we put it all out there. It's part of the show. So now
I'm stressing because I'm like, all right, well, what does this mean
is they're going to be different login credentials. Am I going to have to
change stuff or how I do stuff? Well? Ross have to change how
he does stuff. I don't want to deal with any of this. It's
middle of the week, it's a billion degrees. Ain't nobody got time for
that? To quote a a woman who had it figured it out. So
let's see here. I'm gonna let's look at the time frame. And then
about an hour and a half, about an hour and a half, I
get a text from Ross. It says, uh, we're good. So
our engineer was going through it again. Uh he is. He is a
very good engineer. I want to be abundantly clear. Dude, I love
the dude. Yeah, yeah, this is but and I'm honestly like,
how this dude is able to function because he has to drive back and forth
between Raleigh and Greensboro, right right, right right? Yeah? He hadge
he engineers for both outlets, and he's like the attached a rong cable or
what was it, a power cable because he was cycling all the stuff he
was, you know, like the stuff that they tell you to do when
you call into your cable provider, because it's not we're the like did you
try restarting it? That is stuff you do from time to time. So
he's going through and cycling stuff. If you've ever seen our rack room,
I think Ross posted a picture of it one time. It looks like it
looks like the bridge of the Enterprise. Okay, it's crazy town, and
it's right behind Ross's head too, I might add, right across the hall
from Ross's head. And it's pretty impressed. In fact, it's so impressive
that whenever, like sales has clients in the building when they're giving them the
tour, because they always because they always we're on the air doing our thing,
and then you hear one of the salespeople generally right outside Ross's studio with
one of our clients and whoever. The salesperson is like, look at this
amazing thing here, and of course they don't know everything that's up there,
but it looks really cool, and like he hit he went to connect the
chord to it, but he connected a different chord because yeah, there's there's
a lot of stuff flowing and then he realized, oh that was wrong,
Cord. They put the right one on. It works fine. So it
was like a two hour event yesterday where we were trying to sit there like,
all right, so what we're gonna have to do is we're gonna have
to do this and like Jeff bell Im, sure it would make adjustments,
weather would make adjustment. It was a whole thing for nothing, absolutely absolutely
nothing. And why am I telling you this story? One because I you
know behind the scenes. But two now I am absolutely convinced at some point
during the show today this thing fails, even though I've been assured that there's
nothing wrong with it. Ross what's your level of paranoia about our current technological
fifty fifty? Right? But it increased, Right, We're gonna find out
when we go to Ray next hour because it's an issue. He'll be like,
I am hearing an echo and there's no that's just because whatever it is
was reprogrammed wrong, right, that's our paranoia. So the unit, that's
why I'm not telling you because it's got the technical names, but it's essentially
the unit that we used to do life hits with Ray and Jeff ballenchern All
that so it was just like, oh, I don't need anything else this
week. But now I'm so happy that that's what it was. But now
I'm so paranoid that's what it was. So that's how we start our Wednesday,
you know, in case you was in case you were wondering, all
right, six fifteen, it's it's not all just that. Don't worry.
We got we got all sorts of stupid to sort today. Some good audio,
you name it. Six fifteen, Hang on your Day, Smarter one
them Talk and News Talk PTI More with Casey starts now. All right,
six twenty. Welcome back here on the Caseyo a radio program. Oh that's
fun, all right, and you're on our Wednesday. It is going to
culminate this evening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a lot of folks, but probably
not as many as they would have had. As the first RNC debate takes
place. Trump will not be there. He did do an interview with Tucker
Carlson. I guess that'll drop kind of at the same time, So you'll
have those two pieces of information, but you won't have the traditional And I
gotta say, you know, we make a lot of jokes about debates because
they're boring. We'll do a thing where I'm like, ah, Roscoe watched
the debate, that's your job, and then he comes up with or a
horrible thing happens to his technology. That being said, watching Donald Trump during
the twenty sixteen debates, you didn't have to twist my arm once you saw
how he was going through those because it was just insane, right, it
was just crazy town, remember that. And then that was the primary debates,
you know, and that's how we got little Marco and the back and
forth with Jeb excuse me, Jeb gotta say it with because it's Jeb with
an exclamation point, the whole thing. And then like the Hillary debates with
the nasty woman stuff. Dude, that was gold. And remember the first
Biden debate, it wasn't even a debate, Like, I don't even know
what the hell that was. And then they came back and it was kind
of a debate, and I nally there's a lot of really this is for
the media out there, there's a lot of really good video of Joe Biden
saying things like Hunter Biden never made any money off any of these foreign dealings,
I mean, stating that outlaw outright, you should look that up because
now even CNN's like, I made a lot of money, it's not good,
but Joe Biden didn't. It's like, well, hold on, here's
a bunch of statements right there, and it's in that debate, so it's
easy to find. So that's gonna be tonight in Milwaukee. I didn't think
it was interesting watching the the the plane kerfuffle. So if you don't know
what this is, I guess one of the DNC, and this is you
know, this is the stupid part of politics, right or you gonna have
the stunt stuff. You know how I feel about the stunt stuff. So
I guess the DNC was gonna fly a banner plane around or as one guy
described it at a fellow radio host, he said, of course the DEM's
reaction or a rebuttal to what they're doing in Milwaukee is a quote drag show,
which is pretty clever because you're dragging a banner. But yeah, yeah,
they were gonna fly a plane trying to shame the DEMS over or trying
to shame the GOP over climate change. And you know, the internet kind
of looked at that and went, huh, well that's weird, you know,
because you're worried about climate change and you're gonna get a fossil fuel thing
to buzz around the walk in an unnecessary manner, buying a banner to go
ahead and do that. Apparently they ran into some issues and were complaining about
it, and then they just got savaged online. So you know, that's
what you're in for. That's gonna be your evening. Very elder is.
I guess he was not able to get in because of one of the polls
he used as a qualifier. Now he says he's going to sue the RNC
and everything. You know, it's it's all of the it's all the standard
stuff that you would see go along with this. But I think one of
the things that is going to be remarkably obvious is Trump not there. It's
just not gonna pull the numbers that it would. And people are gonna try
to make this competition of Trump and the Tucker Twitter and the look at the
view count and the look at the ratings that are released on the debate,
and it is going to be apples and oranges, because that's not how it's
it's just not how you rate media. I don't care whether it's TV or
radio. Like for this show, we wouldn't just tell you we don't.
As far as ratings without getting into it are concerned, it's not just the
total number of people that tuned in, even for a hot second, because
that's not a very useful metric because people could could inadvertently click on a link
or they turn it on they're like, ah, I don't like the audio
quality or something stupid or whatever, So you know, keep that in mind
when you're looking at it. However, that will be the point of discussion,
so we will. We'll keep an eye to it, definitely and share
any of the insanity there. Are you gonna watch the debate? Ross?
You have to watch the debate? That's your job, right, you're already
got your TV's got your backup. I mean technically, no, it's your
job, and I have to like cohalate what you put together. So no,
I'm probably not gonna watch it, no, I know. But I
delegated. Yeah, so that's a no on my end, So unless I'm
gonna get paid overtime for that because I'm hourly. So yeah, yah,
I delegated because I got told one time that I don't delegate and and and
most of the time when they tell somebody that, it's because they're a workaholic,
and I think they just I just it's just another sign of laziness.
But but yeah, now I'm gonna wait for Twitter to Coali and stuff,
which is kind of how that works. That'll be interesting. No, I'll
probably peek in a little, but it will be interesting too to see how
the news cycle handles it. This is what's gonna be the fascinating part,
because you're gonna have that, You're gonna have the Trump thing, and already
there's already that, all right, So what's going to draw the most interest
with people wanting to comment and slice and dice this stuff. And sure,
you're gonna have the camps doing stuff, right, the Desantists people. Obviously
you're gonna do pull Trump stuff and Trump stuff and Desantists because they're seen as
the two front runners. But also you got Trump headed to Georgia tomorrow for
all that insanity. And as I mentioned yesterday, people are like, oh,
he's doing that to cover up the news coverage that Box would have got
from the debate. I don't know. I hope he jumps back on Twitter
tonight. Yeah, that's the other thing. Please, for the love of
God, if you could, that would be amazing. Smart talk all day
f w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle. All right, good morning, it is six thirty five as day
Radio program. Nah. Nah, the I tried. I tried yesterday.
I just tried, tried to enjoy myself. I made ross. I made
fried rice yesterday and it was for the first time, I think I made
it correctly with that, you know, I wanted it right on par with
the stuff that you get from the Chinese takeout that it's probably too salty for
you, but is good. And it was like utilizing things arounning, and
so I was all happy, made all that. I did it right after
I sent you the prep sit down a little while later, got my bowl
of fried rice and linemate. I made a linemaiate too, just trying to
get a had a bunch of produce I was trying to get rid of.
And I'm like, I always scroll the Twitter for a while, and it
was it was not one of the thunder experiences because you're just you're right in
it immediately, and it's like a lot of it. Like the level of
hypocrisy that we have out there just on a bash now is crazy town,
man, just crazy town? And the people fighting with each other. You
just you don't expect that those are the ones who are going to be doing
it. I understand that there's a primary going on, but it's just gotten
weird. Like there's a there's a cat turd slash elon war. Now.
We talked about the James Woods thing for whatever reason, the Krasenstein idiots or
they're like I even tell it to feed us less of that, and they
still show up on my timeline and like I happen to see one of them
yesterday. He's like going, he's like posting pushback stuff on all of the
criticisms of Joe Biden when he's in Maui from like telling the story about the
time his cat, you know, the fire I almost losesome a cat to
a bunch of people who literally there's kids. They know that we're incinerated.
They don't want to hear that. To the hot ground stuff too, did
he fall asleep or not? And and then people pushing back, they're like
I seem to remember during Trump Puerto Rico and Milani's jacket and all that,
and and then watching one of these idiots just go, I don't know what
you're talking about. And and what was really funny is the reason a lot
of people can't go back and pull and post tweets from them is because they
got their accounts suspended because former Twitter determined that they were they were cheating.
If you don't remember, their modus operandi was to somehow not only be first
in on any tweet that Trump said with you know, a negative response,
but also to get hundreds of likes right away, right, thus propelling them
to the top. And they had a pretty good thing going. And what
Twitter said that they were goosing it with followers bought followers, right? Was
that the allegation? Trying to remember here, what was that? That's what
they suspended it from, right? It was it was I can't remember what
the term is, but it was based on it was based on Twitter thought
that they had fake followers, right, trying to remember here, Ross,
do you remember what it was? Yeah, I know they're using bob.
It was like pop farming, but it was by okay, was as simple
as that. Their latest one. You're talking about the Krastenstein's yea, their
latest one like it turned out. You're like, well, how did you
get back on to Twitter after all that and still have this huge following?
Is it's because they bought an old Justin Bieber fan page which had fan account
which had like all these followers on it, so they bought it, changed
the name. And when you see somebody tweeting and getting all this action,
probably from bots once again, you're like, well, let me check out
the accout. When you click the account, you're like, wow, this
person has a lot of followers. They must be awesome or something. But
that's how they got their followers. And as a result, though, people
you can't just go and dig through their old account to find all of these
times where they're obviously full of crap and john hypocrites. Except what was amusing
to me as some dude apparently cataloged all their old stuff. Somebody's gotten way
too much time on their hands, and so they were like posting tweets at
them from when Melania wore that jacket and talking about how they don't think presidents
should go down there anyway, and it's like and it's all just one hundred
and eighty degrees, and of course they're like, ah, we're gonna block
that person, so so I'm trying to dig through that. Then there was
a it was a back and forth over weird Star Wars stuff with state political
people. So Americans for Prosperity did a meme on the movie art of Star
Wars a New Hope, and then they posted a picture with like Phil Berger
and a bunch of other Tricia caught them and it says a new hope for
students, right, and it's look, it's nerdy, kind of dumb anyway,
but it's the internet whatever, and it really I think the reason for
doing it is they have Roy Cooper wearing you know, the Darth hat kind
of thing with a goofy look on his face. So they post that and
then like House Democrats then other Democratic lawmakers, they decide that they're gonna pick
on apart, but they're going to do it using elements of Star Wars.
Is this is one of the things I hate right here, whenever we decide
to use like what's supposed to be classical fiction, fun stuff, and then
we try to learn, we try to find life lessons in it, where
you get into the intricate details. But as you know, when you start
slicing up Star Wars and Star Trek stuff, even if it's just purely a
discussion about the movie stuff, there is there's a nerd hierarchy there. So
then when you use allegories to stuff within Star Wars a little complex for the
radio, but when you use allegories of things within there, and I'll give
you an example, what's he bucket the Wake Forest professor Melissa when she was
there's a famous piece of audio of her on MSNBC where she's like, and
she's partially joking, but still it you touch this stuff off and it doesn't
go anywhere where she was lining the Empire and Darth and all of this too
racism because when he's bad, he's wearing the black outfit, but when he's
good for a moment, they pull it off and it's a cis white male
underneath. And it so like my whole experience was ruined on this because then
it turned into all these stupid things where people are arguing, they're doing like
it's like it's like when people start pulling Bible verses and twisting it for their
own political usage. But it's worse with Star Wars, because there's people in
there that are arguing, not even for the politics of why people are debating,
but just for the cannon who star wars and how they think people are
misinterpreting it. And I got like two bites of my fried rice and I'm
like, and I'm done. I posted something that said I'm done, and
then I'm done. I had to go on to other things. Man.
So yeah, that was that was the crazy town that awaited on the twitters
yesterday. But you know, news still emerged, including you're ready for this?
Oh there now goes took a moment to boot up, including an update
on a little something we kind of we mentioned with Pete Calendar and everyone pretending
like it's a new thing. And this has to do with an individual down
in Charlotte who by the name of Chad's Everyone's turner. You may know the
name, you may not. He was given a big time award, the
Harvey Milk Award for Exceptional LGBT plus Advocacy, and and then somebody did the
Google I guess and like, oh my gosh, there's some stuff in the
background here. And we talked about this because back going back to HB two
and what triggered all of that, if you remember, was actually some policy
decisions that were being made in the Charlotte City Council that were being advocated for
by this very same individual. And at the time when I'm going to tell
you came out, everyone collectively yesterday acted like this was some new thing,
and I just don't understand it. It's not. It's not I'm I'm here
not even paying attention to Charlotte politics on the regular, and I remember the
back of my head, what was up with this? Dude? You're telling
me. No one in the Charlotte media was remembered that this came out the
last time we did this. So I'm gonna update you on what happened with
that, because that is that's a super egg on the face moment. Also
an amazing rant being shared around which Ross had to use all the bleeps on
this morning, So we will we'll get into that. And it sounds like
I guess CNN's done with the Joe Biden experiment. That's just weird. But
then you have to ask yourself as a part of a plan. Maybe we'll
get into the details and much more coming up here on the case O Day
Radio program. Keeping you connected. This is w PTI in the Triad and
one O six one FM talks in the Triangle. All right, good morning,
welcome back. It is six fifty two here on the case O Day
Radio program. And I'm not gonna lie to you. I told you one
of the things. Because people send stories, and before you send a link,
or whether it's to me or to family or post it on social media,
I just take like half a second and just be like, h is
this a one? Is this a new source that I recognize? Even if
you think that there's partisan tom foolery going on, you can address that in
there, But is it a news source that attempts to post credible stuff or
at least start with a credible story and then spind the narrative however they want.
So, like if I see an article from Fox or I see an
article from CNN, I generally assumed that the story, part of the story,
at the very least is true. But when you people will send me
links and then it'll be like wacky news of the weird, right, and
you like, look at the other stuff on there or some weird blog that
I've never heard of. And then so then I got to run it down.
So I saw this story initially and somebody sent it like as text to
me and with a screen shot. Screenshots are the worst. Don't send me
screenshots. Send me a link if you want to send something. And I'm
like, I'm reading this thing. I'm like, nah, this is this
is bad parody. It's not true. But then I realized, no,
it kind of is. Doesn't able to access it on Fox, on Yahoo
and even the supporting criminal stuff through the the jurisdiction's actual prosecutors site. So
and of course it takes place in Florida, Florida Man, Florida men.
Something in the water, the air or scent that makes you do all that
crazy crap. It's like the state is one being done ass trap. Nowhere
else has the Florida Man. It is almost like, as the Weird Factor
climbs, you'll find out it happened in Florida every time Florida Man, Florida
Man. If anyone can cheer me, if you know you can, does
mind life get crazy? But of course, but it's not as bat crap
crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him. They're so used
to it, they don't mind him hooray for Florida Man, and again in
the subscription, Florida Man is the larger, more inclusive, like you know,
mankind. So it because it involves women so specifically, and I'm not
gonna have the dudes cut another so just go with me, all right.
Check this out. Five women intentionally clogged the toilets inside of Florida Chicken Wing
restaurant, over which then excited a brawl between the group and employees. This
is in Longwood, which is a suburb of Orlando, and I have so
many questions. So anyway, so the women go in, there's five of
them, They're getting chicken wings whatever, whatever. Apparently it's a slow night
because they're the only ones in there. I don't know any of the interactions
that transpire between the employees and the women, but at some point a supervisor
is notified that the bathroom is clogged. Okay, you work at a restaurant,
you got public restrooms. This is wherever you got you you have to
deal with this, especially over in the women's restrooms. Sometimes put women put
things down the toilet that they shouldn't. Not your first rodeo, you go
fix it. So they did. They literally went in and fixed it.
However, shortly thereafter, police think that one of the women went into the
bathroom and then stuffed the toilet full of paper again and whether she was doing
that as part of for her normal usage or it was some sort of retaliatory
thing. Employees started to get a little suspicious and it happened a third time,
and that's when police say a fight broke out between the five women identified
as here we go, Jahea Smith, Kianda Charles, Kanisha Charles, Jasmine
Klein, and Taisha Charles. So we got three Charles a cline into Smith,
little family, a little family connection there, who then fought the employees
for unclogging to the toilet because oh and trying to get them to leave.
So the supervisor told the women, you know what, you gotta go.
It's almost closing time. The toilet keeps getting clogged up every time we unclogged
it, so when he goes in there, it gets clogged again. You
gotta go. So when asked to leave, one of the women punched the
supervisor in the face, and then the other women jumped up, obviously ready
to rock and roll because they just you know, binged on protein got their
chicken wings and started kicking, punchy, pulling hair, and throwing things at
the supervisor and various employees. Then they started throwing chairs and it was just
crazy town. The women fled after breaking a bunch of stuff and hurting folks,
and eventually we're rounded up by police. All right, I have so
many like why also, would you want to beat Ross? As a chicken
wing connoisseur, would you want to be in a situation where you were consuming
chicken wings there was not a functional bathroom. I mean that sounds like a
horse. I mean it's a bad business decision. It sounds like a saw
thing. Yeah, right, let's play a game and it's just a plate
of chicken wings, twenty of the ghost pepper wings, but no bathroom,
right, and that's where the key is in there. I mean at that
point, you're like, this is my extinction event. I'm gonna die.
Ah. I don't even people are bored. Man. So these women now
have they got all the bug shots all of this because they decided they were
kind of beat on a chicken wing establishment employee because they were making the toilets
worked for him three times. I don't even know. Sometimes I'm like saw
it off like bugs bunny left floor to float out. But man, does
it bring a lot of entertainment? Remember remember all right and wanting everybody it
is said, oh sis here on the case o gay radio program. Man.
Come on, you're just trying to get school kicked off. What are
you even doing? Lynston her Side County Sheriff's Office investigating after a gun was
found on an adult at Parkland High School's open house yesterday. Yesterday evening officials
say two visitors who were not students got into a fight. So all right,
well, you're obviously you're visiting for school related stuff. I don't know,
maybe you got a kid there or what. So they're in a fire.
Maybe they're past students. I don't know. There's not a lot of
details in here. So the school resource officer responded to two visitors who were
getting into an altercation. Doesn't sound like the one brought the gun out,
But when the officer responded, they found the handgun on one of them.
That person facing charges bringing a gun on school property. No one was hurt
the gun yeah, so not reportedly used in a threatening way, but even
just fisticuffs. Even if he didn't use the gun, and it's a byproduct.
What are you doing our school open houses? That crazy school open house
was just parents getting a chance to you know, put a name to the
face of the teacher and maybe see the where the lockers are. Right,
that's what you do. Ross you've you've gone to the open houses, I
know you, You and Marky kind of split some stuff. You've gone.
Have you physically gone to the schools ahead of Lincoln going there? Because I
know, I guess obviously ours are different. So I'm probably not the right
person to ask because of Lincoln's autism and special needs. They tend to do
the if the school is capable and like good like ours is. Currently,
what they tend to do is the open house will be before the actual open
house, Like they let us in early because the giant crowds of people pouring
in and the loud noises and it's just not good like it'd be bad news.
So yeah, I'm not the right person ask. So for us,
we go ahead of time and there's like really no one there, Okay,
But and I understand that that's an element there, But it's not like it's
not a negative element, right, It's generally one that like where people are
happy, right, Yeah, it tends to be. Yeah, I would
think so. So it's like you gotta throw down on the Maybe they were
just nostalgic. Maybe they used to back in the day. They used to
you don't like throw hands, and they're just like, ah, back to
the school. You know when you go back, you everybody you ever went
back to your school, and you're just you're a little nostalgic about some of
the stuff you're seeing or terrified. I will say when we went to the
open house a few months ago, it was super strange because, like I
said, we got there we did hours, like an hour before everybody,
so it wouldn't freak him out. But we got there the hour before.
So you know, it's say like it was the open house was at six.
We were told to get there at five. We got there at five.
We're like, oh my god, the school got the time wrong because
everybody's already here and in front of the school before the doors open. Dude,
it was packed. He would think it was like the crowd waiting to
get into Disney World or the Magic Kingdom or whatever at like eight am,
Like the crowds are there. Was crazy and we were like, no,
these people are just all here early. They were all there like an hour
early. Way you camping out. They just want to get it done,
probably just in out go home, which I understand. H Do you ever
go back to your school after you left your high school or anything? I've
driven past it. Yeah, So the high school did the physical high school
that I went to, BHS, Buffalo High School. It used to sit
in the middle of Buffalo, up up on top. It was one of
the highest points in town actually, and and it was set up top and
then below it was the one of the big park with the public pool and
all that. And they ended up it ended up sinking kind of. So
after I graduated, but before they built a new high school, there was
they were going to move it. They ended up moving it like slightly out
of town. And I remember I went back for a visit. I was
visiting, you know, family out there, and I'm like, I'm gonna
go back to the school because I guess they were gonna tear it down like
just a few months after that, and I hadn't been back at that school
in years now. I didn't do the creepy thing where I started wandering around
inside, which I guess you really can't do that anymore. But but you
know, just sitting around, you know, memories and you're like it's smaller
than you remember, and just going over like I don't know that was a
positive thing. I like at no point, and I like, I want
to fight somebody. I wish some of these some of the guys I didn't
like in school also happened to be visiting and we could just we could throw
down in the agg parking lot, you know, for old time's sake,
or down in the pit as we would refer to the area at the bottom
of the hill there where teachers would come and watch students battle Royale. That
was the thing that happened. And or though people fight different these days,
because back in the day, people would fight and they weren't head kicking,
and if some dude was obviously down, or a woman for that matter,
then like people would mitigate it after that, right, it was like,
oh, are you won? And then your buddies didn't jump in and everything.
And now I see these videos in school and it's just I feel bad
for students nowadays, man, because it just it looks different than what I
remember. And I don't know maybe it's rosy lenses or rose colored glasses,
as they say. But yeah, I remember going back there and looking at
it, and then I just came to the conclusion. I'm like, all
right, I'm good, bulldoze away. And then the next time I went
out, it was gone. And they had the new high school out by
the the pipes as we called it, where we'd go to race cars because
we had these big overhead pipes that were part of pipelines, and it was
almost exactly a mile between the two of them, and so and it was
straight away and we and then like, ah, I got this car,
and you got this Nissan, and we're gonna go raise him because we got
nothing to do except police also knew that it was so weird and didn't always
work out. But yeah, I can't imagine going there. You're strapped and
you're getting into fist fire with somebody. Come on, think about the kids,
man, all right? Eight eight, eight, nine, three four
seven, eight seventy four. I mentioned Joe going to Maui all that.
So this rant was getting shared everywhere. Is this guy lives on Maui and
while he's using a lot of words I can't use on the radio. I
think he he is able to capture, and just about a couple minutes time,
I think what a lot of people are feeling watching Joe Biden go to
Maui, and I thought, well, what the heck, let's go ahead
and play this. So let's get into this. It is almost impossible to
believe that this guy, that this old man, this Walmart Greed or this
fake install president one. Why is his wife with them wherever he goes?
All right now? And here's the thing. Obviously this doesn't sound like a
dude who's a fan of Joe Biden even before the visit. But judging by
the reaction and the amount of people that shared this and not just sent it
to me but posted on their own, obviously he has He is relatable on
a lot in a lot of ways to a lot of people. And as
a resident of Maui who's watching this where they're doing things like like they just
told FEMA they want no pictures because they're already media free zoned it, but
they also didn't want pictures getting out and FEMA's like, okay, all right,
no more pictures of the disaster area. And that has people going with
it. That's what you do right. You post the pictures to keep refreshing
people's mind. Who who might want to donate or be generous in this situation.
The whole thing's weird. So let's let's continue down this road. You
can't hire this person. I didn't hire you, Joe. You're a trader.
I know what you are, I know what common it is, I
know what the Democratic Party is, and I know that we have a constitutional
crisis of epic proportion. But hearing you talk about your house that you know
had a little fire, you almost lost your cat and your corvette. There
are children that were incinerated to ash you old man, you buy a human
beings the only way you feel you're able to communicate, and you have some
kind of you know, you still had a touch with the common man.
You don't even understand how to speak to them. The only way you think
you can establish commonality with them is to lie that the same thing happened to
you. No matter what the tragedy is, your son wasn't killed in action,
by the way, yes to the burned down you childre and weren't burned
to death. The he touches on the three big ones that you hear there
from Joe a lot. And let's not to say that Joe Biden didn't suffer
tragedy. Obviously, he had a wife and a child dye in a car
accident. That's the thing that happened. Bo did die, you know.
And while it may not have been an action, you know, the the
burn pits discussion is a legitimate one. However, you want to be real
careful when comparing apples to apples there and I have by the way, I
have no I've never seen anything that was derogatory on Boe Biden. He seemed
like, from what I could tell, you know, a decent person.
That being said, sitting there and like when he was doing the gold Star
visits. The families don't want to hear that man Ross had a fire near
his house yesterday. Wasn't his house near his house? It would be wildly
inappropriate for him to start regaling people whose house just burned down with tales of
the fire nearest house, which like interrupted his internet or something, right,
that would be so stupid. Ah, what burned down, by the way,
it was, I they believe it was abandoned house downtown across from I
think it was across from there's a mechanics but docs garage downtown wake Forest.
Oh wow, it's like right in the corner. Okay, alright, big
happenings there in the in the forest yesterday. All right, but obviously that's
not I thought for a moment those condos blocking your view burned down, and
then I was going to be spect They'd be a shame, wouldn't Can you
imagine? Oh? I can't even all right, So anyway, this dude
rolls on. How dare you get up there and speak this way? Your
job is a go they're and assuage them in a way that you talk to
them about their loss. Now you can't imagine what it's like now, you
can't imagine what it's life, never to find the bodies of the poor children
that were sent home from schools, that died alone, alone in fear,
without their parents or a guardian, that the most abhorrent thing happened. You're
a disgusting, despicable bastard. You're too old. You need to step down
from office. Maybe the tackling hyhena behind you, maybe she'll rise to the
occasion. She can't even form a coherent sentence. This is an outrage,
an outrage. It should be we should just rebuild the thing the way it
was. When you hear the psycho Pather, the first thing out of the
governor's mouth was always think we're gonna reclaim the land for this or for that.
Who the people we hire in government now, the ones they vote for
and Sateleine Hawaii, that's who they vote for. People who would appoint an
emergency manager doesn't turn the sirens on and and didn't have any experience to boot.
It's just crazy, all right. Last a little bit of his rant,
and if there's any truth in the matter that this idiot held back the
water, he should be sent down to Guantanamobey, never to be seen again.
It's just just outrageous how we behave in this country. There's no adults.
An event, no matter how tragic, there should be men that are
able to rise at the occasion in five seconds. You should know what to
do. You should understand the right thing. You almost lost your cat,
all right, well you know, and I'm not a big cat guy too,
but he almost lost corvette too. But he says something in there that
I think it's pretty accurate and is one of those you know what happened to
the age of men who within five minutes would know that they had to do
something, that's something to do. And why are those the individuals that we
don't find in leadership positions, Because remember, the Biden administration has they've got
over a week to figure out exactly how they're going to handle this. And
if you think that they're not running that through a filter and analyzing and all
right, so here's here's here's what we can do. Here's what will be
the least disruptive. Here's what we're gonna say. Who's here's who we're going
to visit with, you know, standard rescue workers visit that kind of stuff.
And to get each and every one of those elements to have its own
personal screw up is kind of amazing. And it's not to say that you're
not going to get political criticism from across the aisle, but like you almost
have to work extra hard to do things like going and doing a bunch of
selfies with rescue workers, which I can actually people will criticize that act in
and of itself, but people are excited to see the president in the United
States where they're doing stuff, even if they're having to do stuff in pretty
horrific circumstances, right, same reason, when like the president goes over and
visits the troops in a war zone, right for a moment, you're kind
of forgetting all of the horribleness you're having to deal with, and it's kind
of awesome that the commander in chief is there. I don't begrudge that,
but like that was the way that was like all of the elements in the
way that it was portrayed. Talking about how the ground is really really hot
when you're literally where the fire was, and yes, trying to compare a
kitchen fire which threatened a cat and or corvette in a situation where as he
pointed out, they are still finding bodies and or parts of bodies because of
the incineration levels. There are bodies they will not find. The totality of
all of those foot in the mouth moments is jaw dropping from a man who
literally has given cards that say when you're done speaking, you sit in your
seat, as though you're you're prompting a preschooler. I can't can you imagine
being one of his staff members just going, what are we doing to do
today? You put all the cards together, you map it out. You
do everything, but have Maryonette strings on this guy. I you know,
look, Trum Trump is off the cuff, don't get me wrong, but
Joe Biden is unintentionally off the cuff. Think about that. We'll be back.
Thank you. Casey is PTI in the Triad and one six one FM
Talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back in a seven thirty five
here on the CaCO Day radio program. Happy Wednesday GOP debate from Milwaukee tonight.
Trump won't be there, but you'll see him because he taped an interview
with Tucker Carlson, so that'll get a release. So the news media will
have that beast fed Ross once and I and by the way, I'm on
team Ross for this. This should be the day that Trump live tweets the
debate. Yeah, he said something on Truth Social yesterday about today like tonight's
going to be like very busy for him, and say, if something's gonna
happen, So what if he comes back to Twitter slash x and just live
tweets the entire thing and like takes down all the candidates, and I mean
people would lose their flipping and break the internet. Man, it would it
would and even though it doesn't drink, he could still do his like the
way people do. It would do his own drinking game, but with like
diet coke, right, and it's just him on a bunch of videos Chugg
and dyet coke because they said these things, and yeah, oh, I'd
be in dude, I'd be all over that. I'd be And you know,
from a dirty politics standpoint too, it would absolutely allow you to achieve
what they're accusing him of, where you know they're going to drop this interview
and then he's gonna go turn himself in in Georgia tomorrow. It would allow
him to control the news cycle, because that's the theory. By the way,
did you know that there's there are bets people are people are betting now
in Vegas on Trump's wait for tomorrow? Did you know that's a thing.
Bunch of people. Oh, because they weigh you in when they do that.
They weigh in when they go through the process, and so people are
literally there are lines out where you can bet on Trump's weight, which will
be posted as part of the official document release following his booking in Georgia.
Tells you, man, everything's crazy. Here we go as the deadline for
Trump to surrender for booking in Georgia looms. Sports books are going wild with
prop bets on everything from the color of the tie hill wear to his body
weight. What do you think the overunder is? By the way, what
do you think based on the handicappers? What do you think Vegas thinks Trump
ways? So this is the number they think he weighs. And then you
have to vote one side of the other on the over under. What do
you what do you estimate Trump ways? If you had to guess, get
a number in your mind. Ross what do you think Trump? Oh?
Man, I have no idea like two sixty So two seventy three and a
half is the over under because I always got to put the half in there,
which I hate. So you can't get the push, although I maybe
he can. Do they do they report it in halves or they rounded to
pounds. I think they probably got rounded to pounds, which is why they
put the half in there, so there's no pushes on this. It's just
everything's crazy, man. But you know how much that new cycle will he
control? Well, judging by the prop bets going on, it looks like
a lot of it. But the reality is you know, hopefully there's some
substantive discussion. I think de santists. There's a lot of stuff that desantists.
The momentum of his campaign has not been good, and it was evidence
that they agree with that by swapping out leadership there. So you know,
round swammy. They what was the hippiece they were doing on him yesterday?
Like he took a scholarship and the scholarship was from a foundation that was funded
by George Soros's brother when he was a Yale And I guess the response was
they wanted to give me ninety thousand dollars free, So I said yes,
which I kind of understand that. But they're like, oh, he also
made a lot of money that day. Well, you know what as ninety
thousand sorols dollars that didn't go to fixing your DA race. So I don't
I don't know that I care. But what will it have from a momentum
standpoint going forward? I don't know. Oh? Okay, Oh isn't it?
This will be an interesting caller? Mark Mark Walker's calling us on the
debate, Mark, what's going on? Sir? How are you doing?
Kay? I'm doing fine. You guys doing all right, Well, you
know, it's hard to get excited about a debate if not everyone's gonna be
there. But tiss the season we're getting into this stuff, and yeah,
yeah, you got a unique perspective just in the I know, you know
quite a few of the folks up there. Uh so you're gonna be watching,
You're not even gonna be ironically watching like Ross and I now this is
kind of like March Madness birth political Junkys there a little bit. But to
your point, it is like March Madness without the number one seed show enough,
which makes it a little bit more of the n it. But nevertheless,
I think it's going to obviously break records of Sores viewership. A lot
of people have been talking about it. This is this is really the start
of the presidential race, and I think I think the guy that's going to
take the most heat heat tonight is Ramaswamy. You touched on a little bit.
I think that's a little bit of a shallow hit on on the source
foundation. I think where they're going to go after him as far as his
foreign policy, and I think two or three will hit him on that,
and I think the santeness will take some blows as well. But we'll we'll
see to be interesting. I'm sure they've got a few surprises. I was
talking with Chris Christy Saturday morning. He and I were speaking at a conference
along with several other presidential candidates this past Saturday, and I think he is
I think he's loaded for bear. I don't know that he will mention any
of the candidates that he's pretty quick on the fly if somebody said something like
we said what he did to Marco Rubio, I guess a few years ago.
But I think it's gonna be fascinating, and I think the country's gonna
be watching tonight. Do you then, old Chris Christie think it's just so
weird to me going back, even the relationship with Trump, right because you
remember, the media had a couple of photos or videos of him where he
looked like a lost schoolboy and it kind of leaned into that whole narrative with
him, which was weird because the way that they were going after Christy initially
was the bridge thing that he's you know, he's essentially a thug, and
now him and Trump are sparring and all of that. I just I don't
know how it rises to the level of what we saw during twenty sixteen and
those GOP primaries. That was something that nobody had seen before, from Little
Marco to the back and forth with Jeb. Do you really think that people
are going to be as interested if Trump's not there, well, not as
interested. It's like, once again, you know, it's like the tar
Hills of the number one seed going into to the incidently tournament and they're taking
a bye if people don't really start completely glued into all the siege are in.
But but it is kind of the first round of the tournament to stay
with the same analogy there. So I do think a lot of people are
going to be watching is their viable alternative to Trump. To the Chris Christie
point, I think the reason that that's engaging, it's because he's the Before
Trump came along, it was Chris Christie that was the name caller and the
bruiser. So unlike a Jeb Bush, which I've never been in a scrap
in his life, Chris Christie is natural for him. So I think that's
that's why he's more comfortable in that lane and people don't look at him as
it really any other expectations. But to be somebody that's that's going to be
throwing Haymakers. I don't see anybody else in there that naturally fits. I
think Nicky Hayley can throw a punch, but when it comes to the rest
of them, I think they're, you know, not knocking it. I
get the same rep sometimes when he sees a nice guy, he won't throw
a punch, et cetera. So it'd be interesting to see if any of
those guys are gal and Nicky Haley's case comes out of the shell attle bit
more trying to swing. The problem with that, if it's not your natural
character personally to do that, it can look worse when you're trying to force
it, much like we sell Jeb and his response is to President Trump of
what six years ago? Right? Right? Oh? No, absolutely,
people are going to be looking for those moments. Oh it'll be fair,
And you're calling in to talk about this, and I'm like agatting all the
stuff. I judging by the social media insanity. Who's looking around here.
I don't think that your problem is that you're not willing to throw punches.
It's just interesting to watch how that's playing out. So, yeah, you
know, I'm not going to get into that, But it's about speaking the
truth. And sometimes it's it's a cool it's something like it's like one of
your friends coming and say, Hey, you know your girlfriend's been cheating on
you. You don't want to hear that at first. It's usually the third
person you start to process. But I think it's very important that people people
know the truth, and we'll continue to do that and as we move forward.
Yeah, is there any last thing? Is there anyone on the stage
that you think has that moment where they kind of rise up out of it
and get a higher profile, because that's one of the that's one of the
stories that you try to see evolved from this. Is there somebody who's not
everybody's not pulling well against Trump? But is there somebody who maybe moves into
that number two, number three spot that people should be watching tonight. I
think the most upside, and I'm calling in as an analyst, I think
that person that has the largest chance for an upside is Nicki Haley. There's
a natural separation with all the dudes up there that if she hits the right
tone. Uh. Not that not that women are monolithic in their in their
votes here, but there is a connection with a mom somebody that's that's that's
obviously we've been very successful and we applaud that in our culture, and she
could rally a lot of the female base that you know what, it's time
for a conservative Republican woman to to be in that position. So I'm not
that I'm saying everybody agrees with that, but I am staying. As far
as the most potential upside, I think she is in the pole position number
one to have a great night. All right, Well on on those thoughts.
That'll be interesting. Mark, thanks for the call this morning. Okay,
you got a casey, you're rough stake care by bye, yep,
yep, alright, seven forty six Race Agic from the Weather Channel. Clemson
alumni. Also, you know, oh everything Clemson with you just Clemson.
I was just trying to did give him a home right right right from money
but yeah, exactly, yeah, funding a lot of that stuff, saying
your kid is love loves the Clemson experience. Though, oh yeah it's been
and you know what each year now, junior already you believe it's wow.
And you know some of these apartment complexes that these kids, it's it's unbelievable.
It's like, I want to stay here. I mean, they've got
all versus yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Do you remember your apartment in
college? Well I do. Now, to be fair, I'm probably not
the right person to ask, because I had two things going for me.
I was not a state student. However, I was a student of somebody
who was a professor emeritus. So I had this fantasy thing and so I
didn't have to live in the dorms, is the point they were making.
But when I did move to an apartment, I'm a kid from Wyoming,
so any apartment that's right near the beach, sure, because but there was
eight of us living in in four bedrooms, and yeah it was. It
was a little bit of a party house. But ultimately, yeah, it
wasn't what you see today. It's not even close. Man. And I
remember going into the dorms and with friends and whatnot. I'm like, I'm
glad I don't live here. You know. The department was usually it was
an upstairs of another either a house or and that's where I ended up living.
And it's like, what do you mean brewery, pizzeria, workout,
places to work out, all like right in the same building. It's it's
Insaney's experience when I was eighteen was like, please, I don't want to
die in my sleep. It was sort of the opposite of that, you
know what I mean? Well, could I say Ross Hudson Valley Community College
is where my cousin went, my sister went there, ditch. Yeah,
so in Troy, and you know, not in the good part of town,
and it was my cousin's apartment was a real dump. Let's just say
that it was bad anyway, whether New York. Yeah, we're going back,
and you know, nobody cares. But we talked about this little dip
in temperatures today with this back door front in this northeast flow, and it's
here maybe only mid upper eighties. Today's temperatures this morning are about three to
five degrees cool. But the ridge is coming back, the death ridge that
we're calling out across the center part of the US low nineties tomorrow and even
on Friday, it's gonna be hot. Probably the hottest day, if not
of this week, could be of this year. A rake, a little
sticky, no, let's make sure we check on that. On Monday,
a few showers, thunder showers can ruin all but triangle near one hundred degrees
heat and this sees maybe one oh five to one ten try it probably mid
to upper nineties and then still in the load of mid nineties. Saturday Sunday
we'll get a break. And next week actually looks pretty decent. There might
be some rain chances, but we may go all week next week with that
or maybe even below average temperatures. So that's oh okay, all right,
yeah, hang in there. So that's a right. Sure we'll find something
to screw it up, but for sure we will. I'm hopeful. Thank
you. All right, we'll chat with Ray again in the next hour phone
number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Back in just a
few one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and here's talk w PTI
and the Triad, all right, seven fifty four the day radio program.
Oh, people reminiscent. There's a nice apartment though, man I liked it.
But I was just gonna say people reminiscent about apartments and going back to
see in school. And somebody said they when they went back to their school
to se either school or their brothers school, and it got turned into a
prison. And he's like Yeah, that kind of fit because that's what it
felt like. That's the other part of going home and Ross has Ross's story
is funny because what one of those just got swapped? Right? Oh,
but the the oh, the big Catholic church across from the house I grew
up, it's a Hindoo temple. Now the giant banner across of it.
Things change. But then we were talking about apartments with Ray and Ross and
I were just but the worst college apartment that I had that wasn't the worst
apartment I had. The worst apartment I had is one of my very good
friends in high school. And I got along with this little brother whatever,
and we were both looking to fill the summer the summer and then it turned
out into part of the winter working and we took a job doing directional boring
for company out of the Denver area, and so we had to go down
to Denver. So we rented this short term apartment and it was it was
heated with wood pellets kind of kind of and like you know, when you're
broke and you're having to decide between beer and food. We had the third
option, which was can we burn cans or do we have to burn pellets
in here, and like I had the main floor bedroom and then they had
converted an attic in this old thing to another bedroom. But the only heat
element was what rose through the sea aliens on these two open events, and
so if you got anywhere near the edges, like your drinks could freeze.
And when it was really cold, I remember Stephen would sleep on the couch
in the living room and it was but we thought we were big pimpin man.
We would go this was in wheat Ridge, Colorado, which suburb of
Denver. We go the little party by the six Flags there and we go
to the stadiums and whatnot. But you bring people come back to the apartment,
you know, for after party, and you could tell they were like,
is this gonna collapse on us? Or are we gonna die? What's
going on? Dude? My first apartment was a complete like poverty nightmare.
I moved from More from New York to Morrick City. I was like six
or seven months out of high school to do radio and they check my credit
and they're like, you have no credit and I'm like, what is credit?
And no idea never established anything. Jat who was my program director.
It was now our program director at ninety four five w PT in Greensboro,
right right, Yeah, he's the Boston now there, which is crazy.
He He's like, I'll sign for the kid, And they gave me the
worst possible apartment they could find with the roaches because they get this like young
kid working for a radio station doing a night show, absolutely no credit.
So I was the radio station that was held together by a single Yeah so
I mean, but I was like, I paid my bills on time,
I was quiet, I was fine. They gave me the mac Daddy.
They upgraded me like a year and a half later, and it was great.
But I remember that first apartment. The morning show sent there like girl
down because because she was looking for a roommate. Crystal, she's like a
sister to me now. And when she showed up to check out the apartment,
I made sure I was dressed in a in like a movie quality Doctor
Evil costume and I opened the door but I never acknowledged the costume, like
I just gave her the tour. It was fantastic. And then the next
day the morning show on Monday, the whole morning show was Yo the new
night Guy. I was dressed up like Doctor Evil, It was great showing
her the apartment building. Yeah, I'm like, this would be these This
is a roach number two, and this is a this is his cussin.
Dude. It was fun. Got names. Was a family tree, a
hierarchy of the roaches. Don't loot this one in the eye. H Yeah.
The woodsto I can the wood stove. The amount of things that we
burned in that pellet stove that we're not wood pellets because we were poor.
Oh man, there was always a draft. Who remember? All right,
good running everybody, and welcome. It is eight o seven here on the
TCO gay radio program, Crazy story Man, Crazy Town on this Sorry,
I was just reading this during the break here. So a teacher up in
New York has been charged with well, let me let me tell you about
the teacher first, then I'll tell you what she's charged with. The arrested
teacher or charge teacher is identified as thirty three year old Melissa Rock Rock and
essus it's an interesting last name. She was a teacher at the Arts and
Science Academy Corona Arts and Science Academy in New York. This is in Queens
specifically, and in addition to her normal teaching duties. She was also the
sex Said teacher, and it was pretty well known because she literally created the
modeling for teach for the curriculum for teaching students consent. You see where this
is going, right, So she had all of the graphics and the images
and the language, like, she put all of this together. This was
this was her passion. But according to police, she might not have read
any of it. I don't know, because police have accused her of raping
and abusing a fourteen year old student. I know there's teachers listening to the
show. They're cringing, They're like that, and yes, I this is
not all teachers. I understand that these are the ones are going to stand
out. But come on, that's literally the person in charge of the curriculum
for for for the consent portion of the sex aid to the point where she
wrote the book. It's like, whenever one of these teachers of the year
gets arrested, you're like, it's just it's just crazy craziness. Man.
It's not immediately clear whether the allegations happened on or off campus, or combination
of both see here. UH school spokesman said the teacher has been reassigned to
a different school depending the outcome of the case. What do you I said,
reassigned. I don't know that it's a different school. I would hope
they didn't just put her in another school, because I don't know if you
know this, they have fourteen year olds at probably at that school too,
So maybe maybe you want or you know, running a calculator at headquarters or
something. Dude, I'm just reading some of her consent stuff too, Like
at how it I guess maybe maybe you have such a deep understanding because part
of it is an excitement and and and look, it's an allegation. We'll
see, we'll go from there. But it appears the parents uncover just a
bunch of communication, digital communication. That's that's generally how these things get prosecuted
pretty quick, which in and of itself is amazing to me that they'll have
these these these these chat logs of these uh, these predators or people who
praying on children, who will literally type out all this stuff. It's what
Chris Hansen had in his hand at that moment. Like would always confound me.
The willingness of people to literally put it all in writing right there.
It just makes from a prosecutorial standpoint, things so easy. But she's female
teachers, so who knows if she'll actually get the book thrown at her.
Probably not, but a certain amount of irony there as well. All Right,
a couple other things we got to get into. A Russian scientist has
fallen five hundred feet to his death after a hiking n app led him astray.
During a hike in Germany, doctor Dmitri Fiedianen was using a like a
Google Map style app but for hiking purposes, when the app told him to
to send down an unmarked path. So he's he's up in the mountains of
Germany, which is gorgeous by the way, just beautiful up there. Following
the apps guidance, doctor Fetteen slid ended up stepping down onto a path,
which caused him to slide one hundred and fifty meters about a four hundred ninety
two feet and eventually that led to a drop off and he went right down
that ended up in a grassy area. However, obviously the fall and the
banging around and its whole rocky up there, it killed him. Feteen was
reportedly a side distinguished scientist holding a senior research position, not just with Germany
and their nano and their sea gun nano optics department at the university there,
but also worked with the un the Moscow Institute of Physics had connections to mit
BA in the US. I like, we make jokes about the driving thing.
Ross. Have you gone to the Office episode where Michael and Dwight and
Michael's driving with the GPS and he drives into the lake kit because the GPS
tells him to No, we sort of stopped watching the show. Oh okay,
all right, we just after the wedding, it kind of and like
the birth of the baby, we're just sort of like, oh, the
quality of the show sort of dropped. I didn't want to be the one
to say anything, but but you've seen that meme shared, right, Yes,
okay, all right, Well that's when you're driving, and you know,
I'm not justifying that you still gotta you still have to have situation and
wearing it. Well, when you're hiking, it's a much slower process.
Listen, man, you gotta follow the science. No, no, no,
I right, but in this case, the science and which would be
I guess the technology of this The science told him to walk off a clip.
You absolute buffoon. What there's a there's a like with your eyes if
you looked at it, you're like, I shouldn't step over there because gravity,
Right, I know, the apps telling me one thing, and obviously
there's a you know, there's a glitch of the matrix, but your eyeballs
should be like, that's not a place I should walk. So is it
wrong to question? Then? The science never questioned the science? Man,
are you gonna have me canceled? I'm canceled, an, I'm probably canceled.
But it's a hiking nap. It's a hiking app. I mean,
there's not a slower guidance app out there, whether it's avionics and a plane,
your car as you're driving to work this morning, the motorcycle, your
boat. Right, you got a navigational garment, navigational on the boat right,
I like, I understand sometimes I understand sometimes where like there is a
certain amount of trust you gotta put it. But this is the most verifiable
on the fly that I can think of. I've done a lot of hiking.
I've hiked in places where the terrain was to say, especially when you
get up above tree line and you get into like where there's shale in the
past are very very, very treacherous, and you got to be very careful
where you're walking. And even though we had, you know, back in
the day it was maps, although I did have I did have when Garment
first came out, one of the first garments out there. The thing was
a beast and it didn't it didn't it was not near anything that we had,
but it had base kind of generic mapping skills, and even then I
would look at that stuff, but then I would do the thing where I
then, I don't know, use my eyeballs to look at stuff, because
there were a lot of times where I'm like, that's not exactly correct.
Well, we'd hike into like Seven Brothers, which was a series of alpine
lakes there in Wyoming, because the fishing was amazing and you could see all
the way down into the lake. It was so clear. Do you see
all these golden trouts zipping around? Like? The hikes to get there were
pretty pretty awful, yeah, for certain segments of it. And even if
you had a map or at GPS, your eyeballs are what saved you.
And there were times where we would just deviate because you're looking at it and
you could literally see like a small step by one person, you see shale
starting to slide, and you realize it's probably not best for your whole group
to go through there. But at no point, at any point, thankfully,
did it ask us to walk off of a cliff. And if it
had, I would like to think that we would have went, yeah,
I'm I'm gonna do something different. But nah, this dude just kept trucking
man and sadly paid with his life. All told, the authorities say that,
let's see here. He's not the first to fall in this general area.
Earlier in the year of twenty nine year old Austrian woman died, and
a fifty seven year old woman from Germany the year prior fell six hundred and
fifty feet to her death in front of her husband just the Friday. I'm
sorry, this is the Friday before this happened. Though they were not using
necessarily the app there, so yeah, you know, trust but verify.
As Reagan said, I guess if you're gonna be using those apps, But
have you ever had a driving app take you somewhere? So I had a
live broadcast when I worked with one of the other radio stations at Michael Jordan
Nissa okay, okay, and we had to go. I was not the
tech, I was the talent, so I quote talent and Adim used,
yeah, so I had to go there, and I had to go,
and then you set up and do the live broadcasts and this stuff. So
we go and I set up, and I'm waiting, and we're waiting for
the tech and we're waiting for the tech and we're waiting for the tech,
and finally he calls him and he says where are you? When I say,
I am at Michael Jordan Nissan, ready for my live broadcast? Where
are you? Where is that by the way, Chapel Hill. Yeah,
I know it's a jim like, where is it? Physically? I have
no idea, right, I had like the printed out directions. Well,
the tech did not have printed out directions even though they were supposed to.
They use their GPS. Well, the GPS brought them to an empty side
of a road, and they got out, they parked the van, they
set up the table and the prize wheel, and they waited for on an
empty side of the road. And I finally said, where are you where
the GPS? I said, does it look like you're at a car dealership,
dude. Yeah, that stands out. That's how hill. Yeah,
you're not misconstruing a vacant road now, just an empty highway, just on
the side of the road. The gpsaid, you are here. They got
out of the van, they set up everything, and they were ready to
go. They raised the marty the mass of the van. They were,
where are you? I said, I am at the location of the broadcast.
They said, well, I'm where the GPS took me. And they
were fifty five minutes late. They had to pack everything up. And when
I told him, that's not where we're supposed to be. We're not doing
the broadcast on the side of the empty road the highway. How do you
know you were correct? Well, I looked behind me and there's a giant
sign that said Michael Jordan Nissan, and they were OK. Yeah, yeah,
So, I mean obviously you're a biased in your favor here. They
were not with the company very long. They did not last dude, but
hopefully you know, after they graduated from college. They had a great story.
I'm look, I hope that that is the route that it took.
But the part where I understand driving in the wrong place. But I've been
look but like eventually you gotta just you're human three hundred and sixty degrees go
on, Nope, this ain't it. And it's one thing if it's like
a how like I remember when I was when I was very early in college,
I delivered pizzas for a place called Ama Cheese. And it was right
when you could start printing directions on the Internet, and it wasn't real accurate,
and so like there was somebody there whose job it was too if it
was not kind of a known area, on the top of the box,
they would put a print out. They would literally print out like directions on
a little map there for the drivers. And so I would do that a
couple of times a week make a little extra money. And I cannot tell
you the number of times early on in the internet map experience when those were
wildly inaccurate. And then you realize, like if you had just used like
an old school map or your brain for about half a second, you probably
would avoid You would have avoided this just out of like wait you go.
You come to an intersection, and instead of turning left into the housing development,
you turn right into the dusty field and it's like, well it says
turn right, and you're like, ah, if you just stopped for a
moment and went I don't think there's people who want pizza in a dusty field.
Probably it's in the housing development, it would have saved you a lot
of hassle. But nowadays the maps are so much better, so much better,
Like, there's no excuse for that. So I roughly what year was
the remote mix up? Probably why it was it was probably what at least
ten years ago. It was prior obviously to you working on this station,
So holy crap, man. Yeah, I'm trying to think of the most
recent. I'll tell you one of the more recent ones was I wanted to
jump off the I was between Blowing Rock and Little Switzerland, so I know
that's a huge area there, and there was a there was a road that
looked like it popped off the app trail off the Blue Ridge Parkway and it
was a dirt road whatever, And so you're descending on these cutbacks and I
thought I could use it as like a way to squeeze. And I can't
remember what town I was trying to access, but I thought it was going
to be an easy way to sneak there rather than having to go all the
way around. And I'm driving down this road and it's all dirt, back
and forth, back and forth, and I get to the bottom and when
I say it was steep, I'm not even playing. It was crazy steep.
I get to the bottom and it just stops. The road, just
stuff, even though on the GPS it's like, no, you can totally
drive all the way to where you're going. And it took me a while
to get down there, and I remember going back up the couple of it
was so steep that like tires were spending. I had to put in four
wheeld drives. It was in a tahoe at the time. But my brain
should have said to me, hey, this doesn't look like a good idea,
sir, But at no point did it. I'm just like, well,
it's right there on the screen. Gotta do it all This guy walked
off a cliff. Trust the science, all right, eight eight, eight,
nine, three four seven eight seventy four. Coming up on the show,
Dick Sporting Goods has a little bit problem. Man, if only there
was a way they could solve this problem, or could have solved this problem.
That's a hint that there was, and they rejected it. We got
Nintendo stuff and well a little North Carolina politics all come in your way.
Lots to get into again phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four oh and we got to play the CNN audio because I guess,
I guess now the powers that be have spoken and Biden. I'm assuming this
means Biden's out and something's gonna happen, and CNN's kind of the indicator.
We'll get into it next. Hang on the crest one oh six one at
them Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two stations driving the best in
talk. This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right,
good morning, eight thirty five, Welcome back case O Day Radio program.
Yeah, this story, this is a sad story, tragic story. But
it's like I'm not trying to start a conspiracy theory or anything. I just
how does how do we have a series of these stories all in a row?
So this is down in Mooresville, down by Charlotte. The father of
a ten of the Tennessee Titans cornerback Caleb Farley, was killed in a massive
explosion yesterday at his home. The home is it's clearly a home that his
son bought for him, which is awesome. I love that aspect of it.
Right, kids go, your kid goes into the NFL, and now
you're living in a two million dollar home. So good for that. Again,
no beef on any of that. I want to be abundantly clear because
I saw some people being just like being a holes in some of the comments
and whatever, right be find out your kid can throw a ninety five mile
our fastball or foss of football, real good, good on you man.
Encourage that it's like a retirement plan. Other than that, talked of one
of our fine local sponsors. That being said, the sixty one year old
Robert Farley was killed. Another person suffered non life threatening the injuries when the
home literally exploded, And we just had that video that was captured on somebody's
ring camera of one of their neighbors homes just exploding. And I believe the
official reason that they gave was that the home was having water heater issues.
Okay, I've had water heater issues and I didn't think it was my home
was gonna explode. But I did go to school with a guy, well,
Justin and Chad are their names. Justin was my age, Chad was
much younger. These two brothers along with their mom who they lived in a
home in Buffalo, Wyoming, and it exploded one day and it was because
of a gas maine under the home, and it didn't kill him, but
it did kind of mess him up a little, and they still get a
check. And I remember it was interesting because after it happened, we were
glad nobody got killed, and Justin had a brand new truck. And then
we found out, like literally a part of the deal, they give him
a crap ton of money every month. So I don't think he even I
don't to this day, I don't know that he works. So like it's
not it's not like a new thing. But the point that I'm making is
the home. Their home wasn't great and even though it didn't really have anything
to do with what was in there, like it was an old home,
there was some issues that kind of thing. This is a two million dollar
home that your kid who just made his way into the NFL got for you
in a pretty nice place, and I gotta think like two million dollars also
buys you not having your home explode, right, having things put all together
correctly. So this thing is just baffling. Man. Let's see here.
The home guy, just over two million according to property records, was complete
lely leveled in the explosion. The investigation into the explosion still ongoing. Farley,
first round picked by the Titans in twenty twenty one, did have some
injuries initially his rookie season just played three games, played nine games last season,
but originally from Maiden, North Carolina, and it was a star quarterback
there, but now he plays corner safety or cornerback, cornerback. Yeah,
made that transition so very like I said, very sad story, but just
bonkers man, especially on you know what people would described as a kind of
a mansion there. And then that Pennsylvania story. I don't even know,
but yeah, sad story down Charlotte Way. Let me let me flip over
to this do do do all right? Sorry, I just saw this and
I was gonna make the transition there in the in the show, but I
teased it, so we gotta do it. I one of the ways in
which I tried to take the temperature of what's going on in Republican politics to
some extent. Uh. And then in Democrat politics is through what I see
as they're most likely conduit of getting placement by their various spokespeople and candidates and
on the left, it kind of used to be MSNBC, but it's kind
of CNN now, so you can you can watch you can watch for ripples
on CNN and later watch them kind of groove out to the rest of the
media when it comes to the game plan of Democrats. So when I saw
a CNN segment where rather than just going, oh, it's much ado about
nothing, the Republicans are just what we had a last week where they're just
like, they're just amplifying these conspiracy theories too much. There's nothing to see
here with Hunter Biden or Joe Biden or any of the rest. So when
I watch a CNN segment that sounds a little Fox NEWSUS News ish, I
have to ask myself what is going on because there's a lot of conspiracies that
they're going to find a way to get Biden not to run and then Gavin
Newsom swoops in. But I think part of that conspiracy at least that I've
read ross You correct me if I'm wrong, because you dabble in this stuff
like the deal is they want us somehow impeach Clarence Thomas and then put Kamala
Harris as a Supreme Court justice, and then Gavin Newsom would come in and
save the day. Have you seen that conspiracy theory? I've seen that one,
and I'm like, oh no, because all this stuff they're doing with
Clarence Thomas, it's just people posting memes of Thomas laughing and then pointing out
that a bunch of other justices did vacations and stuff too, which, by
the way, I don't think it's a good look for anyone. It's gotta
be honest with you. That being said, for CNN to go all in
on this, which I'm about to play you is, it makes me wonder
what's bubbling under the surface here we go. I know you've noted on multiple
occasions just how long this investigation had dragged on. Have you ever seen a
federal case play out like this before? No Erica, It's really inexplicable to
me. I mean, by the way they're talking about Hunter Biden, the
plea deal, the rejected plea deal, the documents within the plea deal that
the judge went these are not normal, and then taking the very same person
to put the plea deal together and making them the special counsel for a further
investigation. The whole thing is just for people to say there's not a whiff,
is crazy, This is what a wiff looks like. This is more
than a wiff. But let's continue with the segment. First, we had
basically five years of behind the scenes investigation with no transparency, no action,
and some questions being asked, what's taken so long? But in the last
couple months we've seen a pattern here and Marshall just laid it out, and
we've now seen it play out two or three separate times. DJ moves towards
a very lenient disposition. They're just about to lock in that lenient disposition,
and then there arises pressure, either through whistleblower testimony or through public scrutiny,
and then DJ backs off and says, actually, we're not going to do
that now that it's been called out. We're going to try to up it
a little bit. And then that happened again, and then they go all
the way to appointing special counsel the same guy who's been presiding over the case
for five plus years already, so I genuinely am perplexed by what DOJ is
doing here. I think they've made a real mess for themselves and now they're
going to have to deal with the consequences of it. So, in terms
of the mess and those consequences, look, public trust is certainly one of
them. Is there anything that you see that DJ could do, based on
your experience right as a former federal prosecutor, to restore public confidence in this
investigation? Is the only way to fix this a trial? It may be
Erica. You know, DJ's sort of been in a darned if they do
darned if they don't posture on this from the start, but they've made it
way worse by sort of careening back and forth here. It may well be
that any deal is never going to be accepted as fair. So if I'm
in David Weisse's shoes here, heaven helped me, I would just say,
look, we're charging everything we have, We're not in position to make a
deal. It'll go to trial and we'll let the jury decide this. I
think that's the only way to restore any credibility to this matter. So what
do you think is motivating CNN? Actually, because that almost sounds like it's
not one hundred percent honest, but I think it's a much more fair observation
of how this thing's played out. What do you think prompts that? Why
is CNN doing that? And I remember the two story that kind of pivoted
it into last week where one Weiss wasn't going to charge and then when the
whistleblower showed up, then he was. And so that was that was number
one. And then also there was the you know, there's there's there's also
and they're finding out hunter Biden somehow was being interviewed as part of the Trump
prosecution for his uh impeachment charge. And then there was the threat that Joe
Biden would go in and testify, which to create a constitutional crisis. Both
those stories in the last week didn't get a ton of coverage on the CNNs
of the world. But now they're doing stuff like this, and I have
to wonder what's going on, But uh, make of it what you will.
We gotta check in with Ray Stageick from the Weather Channel. First.
Uh yeah, so Ray, Ray, last hour yep to speed promised that
relief is in sight and so in that hour's time, please do not have
changed your mind, go, I have not. I have not. But
do you think it's hard to get relief when you go with temperatures close to
one hundred so even if it's ninety I verify, right? Or do you
want like real noticeable relief because I think that's coming too. So you know,
quite honestly, it has less to do a temperature and more to day
this humidity. Right, yeah, and a little drop in both. This
morning three to five degrees cooler than twenty four hours ago. It doesn't mean
we're going to quite be three to five degrees cooler today, but we may
have some mid nupper eighties around, whereas yesterday we were in the low nineties.
But it's short lived as the heat quickly comes back tomorrow ninety or just
above, and then Friday some spots could approach one hundred degrees for an actual
air temperature. There'll be some humidity too. I don't know if we're going
to go onto advisories, but the heat indecks could be one oh five to
one ten with maybe an afternoon storm and that best chance of hitting triple digits
from about Henderson and down through Raleigh and especially down in Faye Villain and around
that area around the Triangle has got a better chance basically than it does further
west. With a try and especially into the mountains. Another hot day could
up Saturday a little mid nineties. Sunday we'll start to see some relief come
in upper eighties, and then early next week we get into a stretch of
maybe low and mid eighties for daytime highs with a shower thunder shower chance for
Monday and Tuesday. So that's the bigger change I think is coming. Today
will be different because we probably won't hit ninety and many spots, but quickly
the heat's coming back, and eventually where this big ridge is over the center
to us, it is going to kind of get broken down as we go
through next week. So we'll see less heat next week and maybe a few
days of hat or below normal temperatures. Okay, all right again, we'll
hold you to it, Okay tomorrow, sir, all right man and Jeff
Bellinger joins us next. Hang on your day Smarter one oh six one FM
Talk and News Talk ninety four five w PTI more with case starts now.
Alright, a fifty four Bloomberg update, Jeff Bellinger, what's going on?
Well, good morning. Casey stocks ended mixed yesterday, futures a little bit
higher This morning. DAL futures are up twenty five points while off their earlier
highs. Advance Auto Parts of Raleigh just named a new chief executive officer.
A home depot executive, Shane O'Kelly, will become CEO of Advance Auto effective
September eleventh. Workers who've had a taste of the work from home lifestyle during
the pandemic don't want to give it up entirely. Nearly nine out of ten
working adults survey by Banquet would like a four day workweek, remote work,
or a hybrid schedule. Half of the workers surveyed said they'd be willing to
change jobs in order to have one of those options. Goldman Sachs Mean Wild
is ratcheting up pressure for its employees to get back to offices full time,
no longer any thread of a strike by United Parcel Service drivers. The Teamsters
union reports UPS employees have ratified a new five year contract by an overwhelming margin.
And Casey Krispy Kreme will be celebrating International Dog Day on Saturday. The
doughnut chain will offer boxes of six pupkin spice dog donuts, the donut shaped
dog biscuits. We'll be in store starting Saturday and through the end of the
month. Crazy here we are. We're in this room now. We just
have to slog through the hell. All right. You're not a pumpkin spice
guy, right, No, not really? Oh Mad don't hate it,
but I don't eat it often. Yeah, that's just it's a whole thing.
All right, thanks, Jeff, appreciate it. Okay, we have
a good day. Everybody's got a one up everybody on the pumpkin spice,
all right. So rossentis me. Oh my gosh, there's a little local
connection here. I might I might have to reach out to a dude.
So remember Firefest. Let me just real quickly, just because we only have
a few minutes. So Firefest was is this was supposed to be this most
this amazing music festival, right and you know there's a few that stand out,
like the Coachella's of the world or whatnot. But this was taking place
in the Bahamas and you could buy these super duper tickets and they had a
great lineup. They were gonna have gourmet food and and you know, tents,
and it was gonna be amazing, and and then what happened is people
showed up and literally none of it was really well organized. And there's a
ton of side stories like baby trading sexual favors for truckloads of eavy on water,
I mean, all sorts of crap in the background. And what it
evolved into on social media in real time was people who were literally going like
a Lord of the flies, like they were being chased around by wild dogs.
Locked in an airport. People were on social media asking people to help
them make spears or something. It was crazy. And then a big lawsuit
came and jaw Rule was sued and a guy by name of Billy McFarland,
who was the organized or he was sued a bunch of documentaries. In fact,
one of the lawyers is a Raleigh based lawyer who I know well.
Believe it or not, McFarland has announced he's doing Firefest too. He didn't
even change the name. What did he say? He had a lot of
time in solitary to figure out how to make it work during this prison The
goal is quote it really all started during a seven month stint in solitary confinement
end quote. That's a great way to start a sales pitch. All right,
you're ready for You're ready for the craziness. They started selling some of
the premier tickets. What happened? They sold out? Who's buying those?
We don't even know the lineup. It's somewhere in the Caribbean. They haven't
said where God only knows are I'm assuming those are people buying them ironically,
or they're not, and then they're just lying that people are buying them.
I mean, who's And also, how do you get a band to agree
to it? There's no way that's where the real That's the thing I don't
understand. I can understand some idiot with more money than brains going I you
know, Oh they're gonna do it. I just want to I want to
have a memento. Right, But blink one eighty two. You think they're
signing on again because they were one of the bands that were reported to be
in the first one, although there's some back and forest saying that was never
finalized. No, if you go, can you bring your own spears or
do you have to like make them on the island? Well, I mean
you're going to another contract unless you're going to clear customs and when you like
to make your own, I really would
