Joe jupadle. Though my voice does sound a little better today. It is
the beginning, so you know, take that for what it's worth. But
we'll try to truck through. There was a debate last night. It wasn't
real exciting. I uh, I watched about three quarters of it, then
I fell asleep. Ross you watched the whole thing. Of course, I
see you put a button bar page together, right, So you guys,
you guys settled down as a family, started getting to know those who want
to want to, you know, lead us? Or did you just you
just play video games last night? You didn't stream last night, did you?
No? I was super tired. I got here like three, So
okay, so you just truck through it. Yeah, yeah, you didn't
miss anything. That'll be quite honest with you. I mean, obviously it
was Donald Trump sucks. But that's what you do when you're behind. You
go after whoever's leading in the polls, whether they're there or not. I
don't like the way the AP worded it, since there's such sticklers for words.
AP said, and I quote, uh, Trump's rivals took him on
directly. Uh no, they didn't. He wasn't there. They talked about
him a lot, but that's not quote taking him on directly, and then
people can have an opinion about whether he should be there or not. But
yeah, I don't think those those words work. So I was reading that,
and I was on Post Millennial's website. Should I go to sometimes since
they have a lot of Twitter in bed so I can watch stuff, And
they have a whole article about the big street fair that kicks off this weekend.
Ross you like street fairs? I can't stand him. Actually, okay,
all right, I think you want to go to this one. I'm
with you. It's like the fair where everybody's looking at wherever it is they're
going, and not the nine people they're gonna bump into. And however,
the Folsom Street Fair, this sounds like a doozy man fun for the whole
family. By the way, the Fulsom Street Fair, if you don't know,
is the San Francisco BIPOC lg hold on an lgbtq A two eye plus
events of the year. So it's like a street fair, except wildly inappropriate
for children or most people in the public, if that's not their lifestyle,
are going to be pretty creeped down. And it all takes place outside Folsom
Street Dead Center, San Francisco. And wow, all right, what are
some things you think you would get that you would find it a street fair?
Right, even if you don't like them, Ross doesn't like them.
But those when you go to a street fair, let's say they have one
or whatever the days are. Isn't Mule Days going on in Benson last weekend?
This fair is a little different. I've been to I've been to Mule
Days a couple of times. I don't remember any of what I'm about to
read you, all right, so what are what are attributes of a fair,
of a street fair or a city celebration? Food? Right? You
gotta have food? Well, look no further over. Twenty five restaurant venues
participating in the I can't read, by the way, a lot of these
different features on the radio, So that gives you some idea. Over twenty
five different food vendors will be providing their nom noms. That's how they wrote
it. I think we use that anymore. And we'll be competing in this
year's event. They have to make a food that's in the shape of a
thalus. I'm not going to read the name of it. So so I
guess if you're the hot Dog restaurant you got a leg up here? I
don't, I don't know. And that's the light stuff. Also, uh,
several stage events, including obviously a drag show, also a a a
beauty contest for eight fourteen only you have to be eighteen or nineteen, so
barely legal. That's nice. Uh, Ross, you want to guess how
the ring toss works here at the game? You know what? What is
it? I mean, you know, choose not to play? I got
you some tickets, you get you get several rounds. Yeah, you know
what would suck if you're the ring toss e and people only come when you're
there because it's easier to win. Do you catch my drift? Right?
You don't want to get that rep. But the worst thing I've seen.
I I gotta figure out how to put this in words. Actually, you
know what I think conveying emotion. We'll do it. So let me do
this. Doo do doo doo doo. U do not retweet what I'm about
to send you, Ross, retweet anyone of the ones? Blow it all
right? This is how the restrooms work. Check your phone. I'll let
Ross's emotion tell you everything you need to know. This is the worst street
fair I've ever read about, because rather than porta potties, which they do
have, there is also a pool. I mean, how is that even
legal? Right? That's what I'm I like you you're telling me the health
department doesn't come shut that down. So it's a pool. It's a kiddie
pool that acts as a urinal except their seating, and if you want,
you can sit in the pool while that's happening. There's even signage let you
know, hey, if you get in this pool, just know there's no
one's getting ready to happen. There's even a sign. It's not in that
picture, it's in this other picture. There's a sign asking participants to make
sure they get it all in the pool and not on the ground. But
it's San Francisco, so it's like, I mean, if you're only number
one on the ground, that's I mean, that's almost a vast improvement.
By the way, do you know what someone who's never sat in the urinal
pool while people are doing their bit? Do you know what their nickname is
in the community. It's in the article muggles. If you've never sat in
the number one pool at the Fulsom Street Gay street Fest and while others did
their business. You're a muggle. I thought a muggle was just somebody who
wasn't a wizard. Is that correct? Just so I'm clear on my Harry
Potter stuff, that's what it says online. Basically an unmagical person, is
it. I didn't see anything in the Harry Potter WICKI that said anything about
sitting in a pool while men in leather shorts gather around. There's also vendors,
including an exciting new adult kink diaper. So there you go, and
I'm not going to read the rest of the stuff is exactly which. Oh
and there is a kill bossa swallowing contest. It's like sturgis, only it's
soy. It's not real meat because of course. So yeah, if yeah,
if looking for sub to do this weekend, the fulsome street fulsome street
fest going on and see him for Cisco And it does not look hygienic.
And I only touched on some of I can't read the rest of it.
But if you want to do your research and get learn some new definitions,
there you go. That's what the Internet's for, all right. Six seventeen,
Hang on Your Day, Smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News
Talk five w PTI More with Casey starts now alright, six twenty two,
Good morning, last night, the second GOP debate, No Trump, no
Asa Hutchinson this time around, and seven individuals on the stage, unswamy desantists,
Nikki Hayley, Chris Christie, who doesn't know how nicknames were in Washington,
DC. Also and Donald Trump should be here to answer for that,
but he's not. And I want to look at that camera right now and
tell you, Donald, I know you're watching. You can't help yourself.
I know you're watching, okay, And you're not here tonight, not because
of polls and not because if your indictments. You're not here tonight because you're
afraid of being on the stage and defending your record. You're ducking these things.
And let me tell you what's gonna happen you keep doing that. No
one up here is gonna call you Donald Trump anymore. We're gonna call you
Donald Duck. Uh huh yeah, laugh a minute, Like he wouldn't even
be Donald Duck. He'd be the uncle right with the money vault, I
for one of him. Not sorry. I fell asleep, So they screamed
about Trump. They yelled at each other. There was an interesting moment though,
right at the end of the debate where they they they did a play
on Survivor, and they asked each of the candidates to write down the name
of the individual they think should be voted off the stage. I guess voted
out of the primary. And nobody wrote anything. And they said this is
dumb. And it was dumb, just to be clear, but other than
that, it was everything you would expect. Just said we were all good
people, and I appreciate that because last debate he said we were all bought
and paid for. And I thought about that for a little while and said,
you know, I can't imagine how you can say that knowing that you
were just in business with the Chinese Communist Party, and the same people that
funded Hunter Biden millions of dollars was a partner of yours as well. It's
not nonsense. Was fun. These These are people who are tainted by a
broken system, and it's not the fault anybody who excuse thank you for speaking
while I'm interrupting, gentlemen, you'll have your turn. One of the focused
on between. Everybody knows that I may have just not holding Joe by the
accountable. That's why we need to be I actually agree with long descend thinking
of the same time, no one can under exactly Okay, is is this
doing anything to increase the likability of anyone on that stage? Or is that
so annoying you feel like you're like, I gotta turn the champ. It
feels like a excuse me, It feels like an audio mistake, Like it
sounds like, you know, I like recorded multiple tracks in at the same
time, because there's no way that could have possibly been aired less night.
But but it's how it was. And it just keeps going to what no,
because I believe you were I do not believe in these We're sitting here
in the Reagan Library. Yes, I wish you library. If I made
from one tim from one admirer of Ronald Reagan to another, from one admiral
of Reagan to another, we productive I say, I let's have a policy
demand. What's going on us policy debate? And the right answer we needed
to declare by the way, that woman has no control. Let's just dude,
it was let me sum it up for you. It was that it
was dumb and you kind of heard it. There were the uh, we're
Bergham tried to make that transition into the China talking points, but he's not
smooth about it. It was I don't know why, but the Trump Biden
screamfest was more exciting than that. And maybe it was just because it was
two of them. I don't know. So they did touch on some issues
and then like incrementally incrementally throughout, each candidate had to ramp up their man
crush or woman crush. Nicky Haley was there on Ronald Reagan, like like
if you had to be the biggest fan of Reagan since you're standing in his
library, and everybody had their little talking point for that. It was just
I don't know. I don't know that it was productive. There were a
few. I didn't learn anything new, I guess, is how i'd put
it. Tim Scott, Nicky Haley had some moments. Oh, I didn't
see the official talk time. Chris Christie made Donald Duck jokes. We got
a bunch of audio. We'll we'll get through it because I know a bunch
of you maybe didn't watch it. That's fine, that's what we're here for.
So we get to some of the audio down in Florida. Florida man
makes a an appearance because thank you, And I don't know about this headline,
you ready, how big tobacco created America's junk food diet and obesely epidemic.
Do you think big Tobacco did that? I'm sitting here reading this thing.
This is a New York Post thing, but actually I think it was.
It was a bigger article in the Washington Post that went on the wires.
So but why not? That's an easy target. I mean, big
tobacco did a bunch, but I don't know if they made you eat ho
hoes. We'll be back. Hang on smart Talk all day four five WPTI
in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. And we
need to band together. Forget forget political alliances, forget race, forget socioeconomic
status. Can we all agree that Taylor Swift is ruining my sports page?
I told you this is going, this is why on Monday you were like,
because before the show is so I was talking about and You're like,
why what do you keep talking about it? And I knew this is gonna
happen because I tried to look away. I tried to ignore it, and
you're right, you can't. I'm over on you know, I go through
various sites this I'm on the New York Post. One scroll down to the
sports and the way that it's formatted is they have the big main story with
the big picture, three underneath that, two underneath that, and then three
more. There's nine stories. Four of them are Taylor Swift in this sports
section, including the top one, Taylor Swift cuddles up to Travis Kelsey.
Did Taylor Swift sneak out of the Arrowheads Stadium in a popcorn machine? That's
a story. There's a story that she how was she in there? Is
she all covered in butter? Oh? That looks like a food case next
to a popcorn? Is she in there? Is that? What this is?
I haven't read this story. Ross, you've seen this. Yeah,
they're saying that they smuggled her out in the machine. So obviously there's nothing
in there. But it looked like it was full of popcorn, but it
was actually full of Taylor Swift. That's the rumor, and they're the theory
of the conspiracy theory. That's how they snuck roused. Yeah, you want,
you want sports? Yes, And I'm I was telling you this is
what I was worried about, is that these two worlds are going to merge
and destroy each other, or well the one is gonna st There's a classic
episode of Seinfeld where George is worried about this. I believe the episode involves
somebody dating and then like the person ends up hanging out with the group and
it's like, these two worlds should not merge because they're going to destroy each
other or cheapen each other. You keep her away. She should have never
been allowed in that box because now everything is going to revolve around not the
sports, which we use as an astraction to get away from this crap world,
but now it's going to revolve around Taylor Swift and the Swifties, And
it's awful. If I'm trying to think of what could be worse for football,
and I don't know, just in a in a peer this is stupid.
Get it out of my football realm, Like the only thing that would
be more obnoxious because her fans man the only ones who I think have a
harder at Like if if I if this if tonight, I what is Tonight's
game? I didn't even I don't even know who's playing tonight. If I
turned on the game tonight and halftime is k pop, that would almost be
the only thing worse because you can't criticize. You can't be like, what
is this crap? Because you will get inundated by the Korean Peninsula online.
But somehow I feel like this tailor thing is more poisonous. Now. The
question is will it turn into the Jessica Simpson situation. Are you familiar with
that? Because she had her little run in the sun. So Jessica Simpson,
in the minds of many Cowboys fans, cursed the Cowboys with the Tony
Romo thing. So ross that would make you happy though, right if she
had the same deteriorating effect on the Kansas City Chiefs, yeah, that would
be a net positive. Yeah. So I'm like, maybe it's not all
bad because the Jessica Simpson thing that was, you know, Romo broke his
leg and then there was another injury and they sucked and the whole division sucked,
and they're like, oh, it's her fault, which I don't know
about that, but hey, maybe that quarterback situation. Kaepernick wrote him another
letter. I think that dude's out of money man, or he just so
wants to play man. This is passion tonight. By the way, is
the Lions at the Packers? Oh that's right, I knew it was.
I thought it was Lions on the Packers. How they won last week?
I don't know. I'm not even reading that email. You know what else
Taylor Swift is doing. She is not a one trick pony kids. It
was announced yesterday by Gannette, who is the publisher of USA Today. They
own bad here in the Triad and they want to do a little something special
for politics. So Gannette has announced two additional political writers for the upcoming election
who will be offering their insight. And I know what you're thinking to think
of Casey, you just made a transition from Taylor Swift. Please God,
no, no, not that. Yep, that that's right. Gannette has
brought on celebrity opinion reporters for the election, and it's Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
Uh what insight? What possible insight can Taylor Swift and Beyonce offer?
And by the way, that is not me being negative on what they do
do well? Right, they're the biggest of the big in the world of
touring. They I think they have like the two highest concert price concert tickets
out there. They sell out there were you know they're doing that concentrate on
that. When do you got time to deep dive into the election other than
when you're doing a photo op after you drop a check off for a Senate
election in a state that you don't even visit. I mean, I feel
like this with all celebrity endorsements period, right during campaigns, right like last
time Lady Ga Gay and John mellancamp whatever for Biden and I don't well and
Hillary Remember Hillary at NC State with Lady Gaga, Nobody shout peas and everything.
It's like, well, you were successful pop stars and that's great,
but how does that have any relevance on my life? Right? And you
know what I mean, like you Taylor Swift to Beyonce, incredibly popular successful
pop star. Yeah, back in the day, let's let's let's switch this
up for dudes. Right. Imagine if back in the day the Heydays eight
in ninety Geen Claude van Dam was writing an editorial piece and who you should
vote for? It's weird, right, I mean, I'd read that I
would probably read it too, but I don't know if it would factor in
my choice. No, I would not know. It would be like your
no, you have to pick somebody who's who's got a vote, right,
you can't go with the dude who doesn't have a vote. Or is he
a US citizen? I don't even know. Maybe I think when in the
Kumata gave him citizenship, but I'm don't google. I'm not sure, so
you get wait wait, wait, why would it be citizenship to the US
though? When the Kumata was fought over and because because okay usa, Ah,
that's a good point. And actually the Kumata was in the Caribbean,
right, the real one, the one that Frank Duke's one. Yeah,
yeah, on the roofs of the pullings. Yeah, that was in the
Caribbean, and it had three thirty five hundred rounds to it. I believe
it was around roundin thirty five hundred round I mean it's it is a stamina
events admittedly. Yeah, that's right. Somebody did the met like he didn't
even bother to do the math on his lie, right, Yeah, it
was Actually the number was actually much higher than that because he said he won
like two hundred. He had like two hundred KOs in a row or whatever,
and there was like a round robin and they didn't matter. They're like
you'd have to have like a million contestants. It was all of the Caribbean.
Why do you think they're so angry in some of these places? Why
do you think when you go to Haiti nobody looks happy. They're exhausted.
Man. They all had to fight in the Kuma Tay to get the numbers,
so that and they have no trees left. So there's that, all
right, six forty three case o day red. And I'm serious. You
ever go to the Dominican Republic, because you're probably not going to Haiti and
they fly down on the normal pattern. What they'll do is they will literally
fly right to the Isle of Hispaniola, which is Haitian Dominican, and then
they will turn and plug up the coast. Uh. If you're going to
you know, Punta kan or Porta Plata, if you're head of the south
part, not so much. But when you're going up to the north,
like Cabarette or something up there, you fly and you can if you're looking
out the right side of the aircraft or the left. On your way back,
you can see where the border is between Dominican Republic and Ahiti. And
it's because the trees stop. Man just done, and it's a nice little
line with a nice little river there. All right, So sixty four Casey
Radio program, So uh yes, the focus of football coverage Taylor Swift and
also political op eds with Taylor Swift and Beyonce. I wonder who they're voting
for what we'll have to ministry. You tell me you couldn't find one rightly
mean celebrity because Gnett really and even do the thing where you pick the one
that's not someone you think is going to make a good point, like you
know, when they picked the token Republican on CNN or MSNBC just because they're
a punching bag. Or the Washington Post lady who's like, I'm the conservative
here and then obviously she's not and she's awful. But you can even pick
one of those. Can you imagine the outrage though on the left off say,
like the Wall Street Journal or whatever, We're like, hey, we're
gonna give Chris Pratt an editorial page for the campaign. They would freak out,
Yeah, he might be and he might be the least offensive one they
could find. He's not offensive at all, but they would find offense in
it because he's all right, dude, he ate a lamb. I don't
know if you know this. Did you know this? He ate a pet,
heat a lamb? Man, he ate several lambs. Dude, he
had the whole spread he showed on his farm. He's like, you know,
I get it to my own meat, you know, I mean,
like I raise it. I thought the way people are, the way people
were reacting to that before I actually read it, I thought he was like
abusing it or something like he's beating it to No, it's just right,
no, And he's hugging he's hugging one of the lambs, and they're like,
this is really awful because you'll eventually eat that. Yeah, probably probably
will, because that's what we do in agricultural settings. Man, That's what
you do when you go to the groceries. I mean, you could actually
say that Chris Pratt would have more of a reason to write an editorial like
that as opposed to will Beyonce or Taylor Swift because of who Chris Pratt is
married to, right, and and you know her father Arnold Schwarzenegger and all
this kind of stuff. Who was the governor of California, right, and
he was married to a Kennedy, So I mean there's sort of you could
you could find a political tie in there. That's a great Bill burbit though,
that Schwartzenegger one where he's talking about how you know, can you believe
that it actually did that, you know with the nanny and his own bed,
and they're like, yeah, because the dude hit home runs for decades.
Yeah, he's the dude who was in the zone for decades, comes
to America, can't speak top action stars of Kennedy and I'm gonna be a
governor. Of course you think you can sleep with your maid in your own
bed. Yeah, I have to listen. I listen to that one in
a while. All right, sixty seven, So he is, did big
Tobacco create America's junk food epidemmic? This is this might be a dumber story
than anything Beyonce and Taylor Swift can come up with, but we'll get that.
Also, Florida, Florida gonna Florida. So there's that. And yesterday
we told you about Target closing stores. That's nothing. CVS is CVS is
making some big changes. More on that coming up. K c O Day
Radio program keeping you connected. This is five WPTI in the Triad and one
oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning,
It is six fifty four a c O Day Radio programs. So yesterday it
was Target announcing nine stores being closed. Coincidentally, they're all in well what
some would say are kind of lawless cities. So I went out and I
made the connection. However, this is much more on point. CVS has
announced it will close nine hundred stores. How many stores do they have?
How many CVS is are just on the way home for you, Russ,
because you up falls of news, there's one, two, three, four.
I'm assuming there's one by where you turn off to go to your house.
I'll do this one right there in the corner. Oh yeah, that's
right. There's at least five. I think there's six on your commute,
just going up falls of News and that little part of capital up there.
So yeah, do they have nine? They probably got nine hundred stores here
in the Triad and Triangle. Man, right across from the Walgreens, that's
where you'll find them. Anyway, CBS is set to close nine hundred stores
as it undergoes a complete retail overhaul. And I love the spin on this
because people are like, well, they're just you know, they're just adapting
to the Internet. They're just adapting to the Internet. Are they did we
just get the Internet? Is that a new thing this week? Because I
think CVS is well aware of the Internet. And don't get me wrong,
yes, there are things that people probably used to buy it a CVS that
they are more inclined to get delivered when they order other stuff, But you
still got to get the pills and we're not shipping those to the same extent.
A lot of people aren't comfortable with that, although you can bulk order
and there are other options out there, but no, they're closing it.
And if you look at the map of where they're closing it, you realize
that shoplifting is absolutely part of this. CVS themselves claims the local market dynamics,
population shifts in a community, stored density are just some of the aspects
we looked into. Also, the ability to maintain access to pharmacy services but
provide a safe and ironment has caused us to reconsider some store locations that's what
that is. That's their second line. They're just they're sick of people stealing
everything. Man, Michelle, Oh, good morning to you. Used to
be a pharmacist for CVS. How are you doing? I'm good? How
about your stuff? Pretty good? I got about a minute. So is
this a surprise to you? I mean, nine hundred stores, obviously they
have a lot more than that's about ten percent. Yeah. Is this just
internet adaption or is this other stuff? Do you think so? I would
suggest it's a little bit more than just internet adoption. I think it's actually
a function of the work life balance that pharmacists have today. You've probably seen
that recently in Kansas City at about twenty two stores for left without pharmacists because
they walked out in the job. The reason for that, slate Casey,
is because it is not safe to be a pharmacist at CVS anymore. It's
not safe because, unfortunately, the various things that they put in front of
the pharmacists, in addition to the vaccination, even checking prescriptions, they believe
it or not, have a red light system where if you don't have checked
a prescription by a red light before that goes off, that they have determined
you should have done. By that point, you will get thin. And
so CBS pharmacists faced that on a regular basis. So I don't think it's
a function of the Internet, or I'm sure crime has a lot to do
with it, but I think it's because they can't pharmacists who are willing to
work in that scenario. There's that's that's a good point. I know somebody
else who didn't. They worked at walgroups, but they ended up going to
a private store and they had some horror stories. So all right, oh
that's a that's shell. Thank you for adding that most definitely, because they
didn't mention that in the story here. I know you'll be shocked, but
it's mostly CBS's state. All Right, we'll be back. News is next.
All right, good morning, everybody, and welcome. It is seven
h six here on the case O Day Radio program. Of course it was
Phillies fans. All right, all right, we got a bunch to get
into this hour. Let me start with this though this is crazy right here.
You probably don't know this guy's name, but you know what he does.
His name is Scrugs, Patrick Douglas Scrugs. He is a US attorney.
He is a US attorney in northern Florida. He's in Tampa, and
he is one of the US attorneys who prosecuted a bunch of the J six
defendants, including Lectern guy, which has quite the Twitter following. He was
the dude with the podium and the wave and the smile. He's just one
of dozens of J six defendants assigned to Patrick Scruggs, and he was all
in on throwing the book at him, right as. It's weird they have
all this discretion and yet they all went for maximum, maximum maximum. Meanwhile,
you just don't see that with other summer of a summer of gatherings defendants
like the ones in Portland. Short of the guy who struck a police officer
with a roofing hammer, they did kind of throw the book at him,
but he didn't get the max. But that's not what any of this is
about. Because Patrick Scruggs now he's in the system. According to police in
Tampa, they received a report of a road rage incident. Let's see here,
see if it happened in Tampa proper, Well, it's somewhere. It's
Saint Pete. Okay, all right, this happened in Saint Petersburg. According
to the police reports, Scrugs exited a vehicle and ran at another vehicle he
was having some sort of road rage incident with right. They were screaming at
each other, trying to slam the brakes in front, according to witnesses,
and eventually they both came to a halt because of traffic, at which point
the US attorney, the J six prosecutor, is alleged to have left his
vehicle, ran over to the other vehicle, smashed the side window out,
and then with a pocket knife, seated to stab the other driver repeatedly,
and apparently Scruggs was tangling with two different vehicles, so this was one of
them. The other vehicle, which had a man and his wife. They
exited their vehicle to go and try to stop Scrugs. However, they say
that Scrugs, when they walked up, stopped stabbing the other driver and started
trying to stab them, so they ran away. A passing police officer stopped.
Eventually detained Scrugs rendered aid to the victim. Thankfully, he just stabbed
him. He stabbed him a whole bunch in the arms, and his arms
were covered in blood the whole side of the car, but no life threatening
injuries due to where he stabbed him. Something tells me he'll probably get like
a slap on the wrist. Anybody want to bet on this? I mean,
I'm assuming he probably doesn't have an extensive criminal record as a US attorney,
but I could be wrong. But there's a certain amount of irony.
This guy's going to go to court. He may not even have to go,
you know, to trial, right, and some other person's going to
look at him and go, you know what, Obviously you are overcome with
emotion. This isn't like you. So we'll drop it to assault whatever whatever
a high misdemeanor is, probably so the idiot can keep his job. You
know, all of this stuff they patently refused to do for anybody, even
folks who weren't there. From a J six perspective, I mean, I'm
just betting here, but I don't think I'm wrong, all right? Eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Or let's see here, Okay,
this video. Many of you have sent me this video. We I
remember retweeting this video like months ago, but I don't believe we ever did
it on the air and for whatever reason, it's it's made itself into the
news cycle. But it's actually it's from like June, and there's it's a
it's a mom. She's at the at a North Carolina school board meeting.
It's the three minute public input session and she makes an observation, and uh,
it's it. It is one as somebody used to cover school boards that
I also thought about my mind, because if you ever go to a school
board meeting, you gotta a lot of times the public input isn't first,
so you gotta sit through all this stuff. And if there's one thing they
love to do at school board meetings, rather than talk about, all right,
we have this issue, we're not meeting grade level. We have too
many kids in this classroom, they'll talk about that stuff. But first things
first, they'll spend like an hour on the participation trophy stuff. Right,
So one of the school board members will be will read some long diet tribe
email about the you know, the junior high girls volleyball team, which good
for them, I'm glad they want or whatever, but they'll do that.
They'll talk about how some teacher is volunteering at a charity and she's telling the
kids about it. But they'll do that crap for like an hour, and
it's very obnoxious, and not just because I'm a negative person. It's just
like, you have so much important stuff. And so Mom's sitting there at
the school board meeting. This is around the time schools are discussing how they're
going to deal with what is now you know law in North Carolina. But
also they discuss how, you know, how the people who object to it
are Marxists, it bigots because they don't understand what a Marxist is, and
you know, basically being negative on the parents. And this woman had enough
And I gotta tell you on the fly, on the fly pretty sharp,
lady. Just realize it's on my other button bar, all right, so
check check this woman out. I can't find anything to disagree with. Hello
everyone, I've been coming here for five years now, and I was going
to talk to you about some practical things that I thought you could change about
thirty two ten. But I've changed my mind. I've been really confused over
the last five years as to why we spend forty five minutes to an hour
of every public meeting talking about how great everyone is and how great everything is.
In the schools, and now I've figured it out. I figured it
out because all these people came here to defend you all from hurtful words.
This is obnoxious. Let me just say, there is one goal for the
educational system. It should be to prepare children to enter careers to be productive
members of society. It is all right, I'm gonna pause there. Would
you agree with that, Ross, Would you say that that is that is
the sole goal of schools? Yeah, a hundred percent. And the problem
is is now people in charge think that there are many other goals, and
some of it's driven out of genuine concern that I agree with. And here's
what I mean by that, as somebody who dated a teacher for quite some
time, getting a peek behind the curtain, as she was a new teacher
at the time. But the frustrations that she had with parents who she's never
been in contact with. She tries to call, they never call back.
There's problems with the kid, there is no participant patient, and they are
She was a math teacher. They are struggling in her math class and she
wants all her kids to pass. And so that is where you know,
you start to creep into other ideas, is my job just to teach them
math, or perhaps there's some some guidance that will help them not just to
excel in math, but be more learning oriented, which is, you know,
that's an extra lift, and that is something that that teachers will do.
And I don't know that anyone disagrees with that. But then you get
to the administrators and they think, well, also, we have to be
the one to tell them about birds and bees, because if we don't,
the parents will do it wrong. We have to We got to feed these
kids all day. We have to do that. We have to do all
of this stuff, and you then lose sight of what is I agree with
this woman, what is the goal? You're teaching kids how to learn?
You're teaching them so they're not standing around Times Square, They're not standing around
Times Square thinking that the country? What was one of the answers? Was
it a billion years old? We had the audio last week where this guy's
interviewing or this woman's interviewing graduates in Times Square. They just had a graduation
ceremony and the kids ranged from how old is the US too? From a
billion years to like ninety years, and then thought that we overthrew who was
it, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Abraham who I'm assuming she means
Lincoln, right, And they're all standing around, some of them in their
gowns holding their Hey, you're smart enough to enter society piece of paper.
They are clearly not. And once you start creating a thousand other jobs for
school districts because your way or the highway, or you want to endoctrinate,
or you have genuine concerns because the parents are, you know, a wall,
once you start doing that, then whatever after you're dedicating to that is
not going to the bigger picture. And that's how you get what we had
yesterday. If you weren't with us at the end of the show, there
is in Baltimore. The school district has thirteen high schools that are high risk
and as a result got a cash infusion of one point six billion dollars from
the Feds to turn it around and the test numbers. After two years of
this funding, classroom size reductions specialists brought in. After two years, they
got the results of the standardized test and out of the thirteen high schools,
Rosky put the yodler up on my button bar. Please we'll come back to
Mom here in just a moment, because I didn't hear it. I want
you right now. Out of thirteen high schools, roughly, I think it's
fifty five hundred kids. No, it's more than that. Those are the
ones taking the test, because they don't take all four grades. Out of
the thirteen schools, with all those kids, how many do you think past?
What percentage of the kids think passed Ross? What was your opening guest
yesterday? Ten percent? I think I mean it had to be at least
fifty percent. You'd hope lower, not forty percent lower? Lower? Surely,
surely, come on, it can't be twenty five lower than lower?
Shot up lower, fifteen lower? It's zero? How did you not guess
zero? Zero kids? Imagine thirteen big city high schools and not one kid
in there past the math test, the state math test, and you just
on top of whatever you're normal. You've dumped an additional one point six billion
dollars into it. So Mom is spot on, and Ross doesn't win anything.
In Cliffhanger, Hello everyone, I've been coming here for five years now,
and I was going to talk to you about some practical things that I
thought you could change about thirty two ten. But I've changed my mind.
I've been really confused over the last five years as to why we spend forty
five minutes to an hour of every public meeting talking about how great everyone is
and how great everything is in the schools. And now I've figured it out.
I've figured it out because all these people came here to defend you all
from hurtful words. This is obnoxious. Let me just say there is one
goal for the educational system. It should be I'm just sad we don't get
to see the board members spaces enter careers to be productive members, self help
area. It is not somewhere to find yourself and we should not be led
by the children. For goodness sake. The children are called dependence for a
reason. They depend on us who have fully developed brains. You cannot feel
your way through life. The issues that we are talking about, we are
bringing you statistics. We are talking about scholastics, we are talking about funding,
we are talking about bussing. We are talking about trying to figure out
how to make our children be as successful as possible. And I am sure
that that is your goal. And what we have been called tonight is what
they're claiming that we're saying to children, we're having an adult conversation. There
are not children in this room. We aren't going into the schools and calling
them names. They call us Marxist and hateful and bigots and everything else under
the sun. Will let me tell you, less than five percent of the
entire population of North Carolina identifies as LGBTQ. You guys all claim you want
democracy, Well, you know what democracy is. It's the majority plus one.
It's fifty plus one. You know what, more than fifty percent of
the people in this state claim that they believe in God, Almighty God who
made us male and female, God who made marriage between a man and a
woman, God who said that we must protect our children. The fact that
we can stand up here and we know we can brag about all of the
wonderful graduations, but we know, we know all the statistics. Fifty percent
of children did not pass their end of Great test. Widow. All right,
so, and there's a little more to that. We'll retweet the video
for you real quick. We'll grab a callin then more after Jacob I got
about a minute, go ahead. Yes that is Michelle Moore. She ran
for school board in District nine this past election. I was also a candidate
in District seven. As a pleasure to talk to you guys again. Yeah,
yeah, absolutely so yeah, well she gave him the wats what?
And again I'm just sad I can't see their faces. Well i'll take you.
They sit there and they just leave. It's a blank stare. There's
no emotional reaction. And I'll tell you what I've come to determine is I
don't blame I don't blame the school board anymore because we've been having speeches like
this for years. And what it is is it's parents who aren't involved,
if parents who bought wanted to Yeah, sorry, Jack, I got ten
seconds. I don't mean to catch you, all right, Thanks God?
Yeah, all right, Well Michelle's given him the business. So there's that.
All right. We'll get more of recalls coming up. Hang on,
everybody, leaf thank you. Casey is one four five w PTI in the
Triad and one on six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Sorry, just
finishing a sweet Take me a while to watch this video twice to figure out
what's going on? All right, it's too long? Hold on, Oh,
I'd rather have a way over way outside. Okay, all right,
so here's what this video is, and I'm gonna I'm gonna retweet it here
in a second. I gotta shave just a little more time. So this
is Philadelphia, the Apple Store Gang of looters, right, mass mob entrants
run into the store anything they can they grab. In this case, they
were stealing all the new iPhone fifteens. The problem is Apple actually has those
rigged. So when you go in there and you rip it off of either
the cable it's attached to, or I'm not sure exactly what triggers the apparatus,
but the phone locks down and it makes noise and it has a security
warning. So these idiots they go in, they are they rip every brand
new phone iPad they can find off of the display tables. They get outside
and there's this moment where you hear this sound blaring. It's not the store
alarm, it's the phones. So now these nitwits realize that the phone is
tracking them because it says it on the screen. So they then smash all
of the iPhones two bits in front of the store while laughing about it,
and while filming on what I'm assuming is a previously stolen iPhone. Ah,
dude, just I'll retweet it here in a moment. You can go watch
it. Okay, all right, we get back to phones presidential debate yesterday,
Round number two for the Republicans, No Trump, seven others the ones
that were in the last one, minus Issa Hutchinson and uh it was from
it went from cringe e to just a minuscule informative not much too absolutely out
of control screaming at each other. I don't know, is there a winner
from last night? I don't know. You can tell me, all right,
Jamal, what's going on this morning? I guess that's just all of
those victims of white soupremacy, Jim Crows segregation in years of white sprengs.
I guess hill they need they needed breads. Oh okay, yes, because
you know they won't right there in the nine, you know. But okay,
case you look to say this, Casey, and I guess if it
comes from you'll, I'm calling for many years listening to you, and some
of you have rubbed off on me, and I'm gonna say this. When
I hear people up the criticize, they say they talk about Donald Trump record,
but they don't tell the one hundred percent truth of why Donald Trump couldn't
get everything accomplished. It's just downright irritate now. And I'm gonna say this.
Some people may not like it, but oh well, Ronald Reagan,
George Bush, and Ron Decentez will find out if he gets in office.
Just because you've got a conservative Republican state don't mean you can do that once
you get presidency and not here Ron Decente say, well, my record,
my record, You're in Florida, dude, you're in Florida where you have
a red Senate, red house, red attorney general. Look when we got
here in North Carolina and they're red and we got all medicap all now say
almost you know? So please So when these people talk about all what they
can do when they get in that White House and you got Mitch McConnell who
signs onto a omnibus bill, who didn't send it back to Nancy Pelo,
see please, And it's like these people who support these people like ron the
Santis. Okay, do people forget I like, I love Rona Reagan And
he said this because the run A Reagan Museum. But Ronald Reagan gave us
amnesty Ronald Reagan is the reason why we lost California, Oregon, and Washington.
We've won that state in eighty four, we've won it in ninety two,
but after the amnesty we never won. Who do you who do you
want in there? Then? Cause you I sup you know what if if
I'm going to President trub of course, why because our witness and saw what
was going on broad descents and and and it has to be six and sickonts
out in his commercials comment on you Tube. Well, no, no,
no, I just I'm gonna keep it real because that's what you wanted to
do. Donald Trump, he executive ordered bump stocks, he signed those spending
bills. He offered Nancy Pelosi a pathway to citizenship. She turned it down,
but he was willing to do that, right, So, so I
don't you know what I'm saying, Like, there's there there's uh this this
on everybody. So okay. But here's the thing though, when you when
he's offered that, it was they couldn't vote, None of them who was
here couldn't vote for twenty five years. That was one number two. They
had to be in the military. He was, and that was just joiners
he wasn't talking about those military but it wasn't just military. There was other
stuff. But to your point, yes, there were conditions on there spent.
But the spending bills he signed those those COVID I mean yes, because
at the time he shut the government down. Okay, let's tell the truth.
They shut the government down. So if you shut the government down,
you have to pay for the people who lost their money. So long that
because we didn't know about COVID when we tried to do things about COVID.
Remember hydrops, the chlorquine. That was literally a black couple who was in
the Michigan House of Representatives that took hydrops the chlora kid. Then they said
no, no, no, So people, I'm gonna be honest. I
believe the media for a lot of these people died because they could have told
the hydrops the chlor cooine, which had a seventy five percent successfully at least
seventy five percent of the people wouldn't have died. So I kind of blain't
that on the media because they would have told the truth about how drops the
corkin. But they wanted to get rid of President Trump. But also something
President Trump had to experience. You had a judge in Washington because you covered
this, and you'll said, how can you do this? A judge and
Washington state rule that President Trump couldn't do the border wall in Texas. I'm
like, well, because that's not even your state, and that's something wrong
the sentens and has never experienced when you have a judge in a whole nother
state no one's doing with what you're talking about, say you can't do it,
and rule against you and stop what you're doing. Out of the ten
things President Trump promise, he got seven and a half of him and the
other two was literally stopped by judges who had nothing to do with what was
in a state we tried to do. Yeah, well not in Texas.
But the judge you're referring to as a Ninth Circuit judge, he was the
same cat who got in on the travel restrictions. And that circuit does include
California, which does have the border, which is why they had standing to
hear that case. So but to your point, what do they have to
do with Texas? Nothing? Hundred percent, Jamal, I gotta, I
gotta a role, So I appreciate it, my man. All Right,
thank yep, yep, yep. Uh, let me do this. We'll
get bray stage, we'll come back. We'll get some more calls on this.
We got floor demand insanity coming up too. So do do do do
do s? Yeah? Not much? How about you? Uh, you
know, we're closer to the weekend. Unfortunately, I got a couple of
division opponents tonight. But since I've given up on the season, I don't
care. So there was a Packer's Lions Lions, yeah, in Green Bay,
though I took the Packers so well, yeah, I mean the way
they won last week, though I did. I didn't think they were gonna
win. I had turned it off. I didn't turn it off. They
were showing it on another TV. I stopped watching it. Man, I'm
just all right, well that's done, right right? Then injury for the
Saints and your so and you know, it doesn't take much. It doesn't
take much. But you know, Detroit County after their first game, everybody
thought that they were the next right, yeah, and then they kind of
came back to earth. You know, everybody you talk about overreacting, You
get these overreactions in the first part of the season. You know, you
get into like mid and late season, and then you really start to you
really start to get an idea what's really going on. I mean, yeah,
same thing with the Cowboys. Yeah, they lost, but you know,
do you think they're gonna lose a lot more games? No, they'll
probably lose two or three more. They might get blown out again. Yeah,
I mean, that's a division that's going to have it exact people in
the playoffs. A question. Yeah, go all right, So Taylor Swift
is now ruining football. Trying to go to a sport I try to go
to a sports page and they have to start her about her, And I
was trying to make this point. Ross made it using a Seinfeld reference.
I'm gonna make it using a cowboy fan reference. What if she? What
if she Jessica Simpsons, the folks there, the Chiefs. Yeah you know
what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, the Curse of Jessica Simpson.
Right, yeah, she does. She destroys you guys, so well,
l he can always fall back on the on the injury too, right,
so he's got an excuse sitting back there in the back of his mind,
and like, listen, she she starts throwing me off, and I could
just say, oh, you know, the knee hurts or whatever it is.
But it's possible. It's possible. But he's my my tight end in
fantasy, so I hope not if he hasn't put up Yeah, he hasn't
put up real great numbers lately, so you should get the Vikings guy.
He only drops half of his passes. Oh gosh, I thought you're gonna
give me a good tip because I'm actually looking for I need a better wide
receiver. I don't have good I would go with Justin Jefferson. Yeah,
somebody, my nephew got him. Of course. The little runt's a kid.
Beat it up, you know these kids. They he follows it like
every day. He's really into uh you know, he's really into sports.
He's doing something at college, involved at the web page and so yeah.
But anyway, I'll bet on this and that's great weather coming after we get
through the next morning and tomorrow morning. We get through this morning with the
clouds, fog and the drizzle, and we'll get cloudy today, it's still
gonna stay cool. A lot of us can get out of the sixties yesterday.
We'll probably crack seventy today. Load of mid seventies, mid upper seventies.
Tomorrow may see the sun try to peek out at today there might be
a stray shower to especially try it and west into the mountains, but not
much rain. But then we get into the weekend and into next week.
I mean, this is really going to be some of that stuff we dream
of this time of year. Partial sun Saturday, upper seventies, maybe eighty,
and same thing on Sunday and Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday. Through that
period, we're going to see highs upper seventies, low eighties, lows in
the upper fifties to low sixties, and plenty of sunshine each day. As
it looks like we'll finally get rid of this kind of east northeast flow and
this kind of wedge situation which you're in right now. I was trying to
think of a Taylor Swift reference, but I'll think of one next hour.
You know, it's good, you don't have to run it. We run
a commercial like over and over again with a bunch of Taylor Swift references for
like ticketing or something. So I've got on phill I don't need Okay,
Yeah, all right, cool, cool, thank you sir. All right,
seven forty eight. More of your calls coming up. We'll take,
like I said, a little trip to Florida, and the Michigan governor has
signed a new bill, and I wanted to explain exactly why she did it.
We'll see if you could recognize recognize any irony. Okay, so I
get your irony detectors. We'll do that and much more coming up next.
Hang on this one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and here's talk
nine four five WPTI in the tryhead. Good lord man, let's just say
what You're fine, all right? So there was an explosion in Uzbekistan.
I know a lot of your vacation there, and first when it was at
the international airport push Kent, by the way, Uzbekistan also one of the
countries accused of bribing the Biden, so you know, if you're trying to
put a map together. Initially there were reports of a plane had crash.
They denied that. Then they realized that the brun of the exposion explosion was
in the customs warehouse, which is attached to the airport, and people were
thinking terrorist attack. But now the uzbek Interior minister who initially came out and
said a lightning struck a warehouse. Has simply said that the explosion, which
killed one and injured a hundred and sixty three people, was caused by an
electric car's batteries exploding. So not terrorism. You blew up a whole warehouse
with one electric car worth of batteries. Good lord man, all right,
let's get to the phones. Michelle, good morning to you. Good morning.
You're the way you're the woman from the video. I just read my
culture. I am I smart. Okay, yeah, so when was I
saw that video a while ago? When did you actually do that? Now
it's going viral again, so every yes, yeah, that was that was
back in June, actually the end of June. Okay, yeah, I'm
just sad I can't see the board's faces. How was your How was your
speech received? Other than right at three minutes them yelling at you to shut
up? So well, usually they just have a scowl and they stare you
down. I mean, I've been speaking at the school board for about five
years, and that's their typical for everybody, for everybody. Just because we
got listeners, try a triangle. Which school board is it? This?
Was it? The Wait County school Board. I just want to just want
to make sure people know which one we're talking about, not that it would
be different a lot of others. So normally it's a scowl. They probably
didn't like you running for a board seat, So now is it more than
a scowler? You know? The last time that I spoke was a couple
of weeks ago, and I brought up the fact that there was someone else
in the audience on the other side that was trying to say that Christian parents
need to be really looked at because we're abusive to our children, and they
were referring to the horrible case of childe Beast that's out in Utah from the
woman that actually think ruby. I think she might be a Mormon. But
so I went in there because I'm a nurse by trade, and I said
something that we have not been discussing is munchauser syndrome by proxy, which I
wanted to explain to them what that is. Munchauser syndrome is believing that you
have being adamant that you have a disease and you demand to be treated for
it. Munchauser syndrome by proxy is you demand that your child has a disease
and you demand and that they be treated for it. And I am likening
this push for parents to allow their children to you know, to be transitioning,
it, to be choosing their gender before they have completed the puberty plot
process, and this demands that we all just agree with them, or that
the schools are able to allow children to be called by a different name,
or you know, they're very upset about the parent Parental Bill of Rights,
which states now in North Carolina, who is law. And so I went
to that and said, you know, this is something that is not being
discussed, but we really, we really need to look at this, and
the schools might be you know, liable if we're going to allow this to
continue between packs and their children, and you're if you're going to enhance it.
Yeah. I only have about a minute, but I want to highlight
really the point that you made that I think deserves at least a response from
them, and that is the mental health issues that we see in schools.
I think it's connected to some of what you just talked to about. But
you also look back on your graduating class. I won't ask you what it
was, but I can look back at mine in the mid nineties and Look,
we had some kids that obviously had mental health issues, but I don't
feel it was as rampant as it is now thirty seconds. You're a nurse,
you see a lot more of this. You stand by that statement absolutely.
And there's a great website it's called Fights the New Drug and it discusses
the serious consequences, lifelong consequences of putting adult information, especially pornography and sexual
conversation before children. And you know, children, they do not think in
a sexual way. Children don't feel like a man or a woman because they're
children. And until they've gone through puberty, until they have completed that process
at the age of twenty four twenty five, no one, no child feels
like a man or a woman. So we need to focus on what they
love to do, what they're great at, educating them and preparing them to
be able to enter into the workforce. Yeah, and not just half of
them to pass the test. Michelle, appreciate the call this morning. I
got a roll, Thank you, and we we'll be back with what the
Michigan Governor's up to. All right, good morning and welcome. It is
eight o seven here on the CaCO Gay Radio program. Let's play do you
notice the irony And we're gonna do it with Governor Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan.
This would be the woman who is like, hey, those seeds, Yeah,
you don't need those seeds during COVID when you're at home and you could
grow stuff. Yeah, we're going to rope those off. Just a piece
of work. Well, she's got the legislature, obviously, she's getting all
these fun bills she wants. I don't even recognize Michigan, but it is
what it is. And yesterday she held a press conference to sign into law
a new bill banning marriage for anyone under eighteen in Michigan. This is that.
This was like the quasi cause I saw out there as I think it
was kind of like groomer pushback right when people started going, why are you
grooming kids with born? Right? And then the rebuttal would be, why
do you live in a state where sixteen year olds can get married? Sarah?
You know, I don't believe anyone has thought of that in a very
long time. It is still on the books in some places, but the
governor of Michigan has made it so it is not now here is why,
by the way, there was twenty seventeen year olds that got married in Michigan
last year that was sixteen year olds, twenty seventeen year olds. So just
see you understand the numbers. Now, the reason that she did it,
there's two quotes I got to read. Whitmer said that the reason that they
needed this bill was the state cannot be in the business of condoning children making
decisions they are too young to make, or supporting parents who will try to
make those decisions on the child's behalf before they are an adult that will have
lifelong impacts. Mhm. So you don't want children legal legal children, legally
children, or over exuberant parents who think they know it's best making decisions that
will have lifelong impact on the child when they're a child. You want them
to wait till they're an adult. Hmm. She went on to say that
at times adults can manipulate children and it is abuse in order to push an
ideologist. She's so she's getting into the religious side to push an ideology or
for the sake of some twisted desire. Does she hear what she's saying or
in this case writing this is her statement? But so you passed a bill
kids gotta wait till they're eighteen to get married, so to get married so
that the parents are not making the decision and children are not making quote life
altering decisions they're not prepared to make. I mean, there is zero self
awareness here. But that's the lawn Michigan. Now, okay, now speaking
of people who need to be dealt with legally. Who puts hot sauce in
their pepsi? Who puts buffalo wing sauce inside a delicious soda while eating chicken?
I understand the chicken wings, and there's gonna be some intermixing there,
but dumping the sauce directly into the pepsi or in this case, I think
it's the Pepsi Max. It's not regular pepsi Pepsi zero sugar. Because I
just saw a football player doing it on a commercial, and I got some
questions, have you ever tried that? Ross? I mean, Josh Allen
is your hero, you love buffalo wings? Don't know. I assumed it
was a commercial thing, so yeah, I assume they were doing it so
people would talk about it. Well, yes, but what do we know
about when people do things post a short video of it, and then others
see it, then they do it right, which is why we have I
mean TikTok. Yes, have you met TikTok? We just did what do
we just talk about? The blue whale suicide thing? They're doing Nitwitz filming
themselves like catching themselves on fire for challenges. You think they're not going to
put buffalo sauce in a pepsi. Also, I don't know how that sells
pepsi. I guess maybe just the oddity of it. Sorry, I got
slightly distracted there, All right, let me get back to this. So
yeah, so the Gretchen Whitner story, she doesn't want kids making big old
decisions while they're still kids. But I think it only goes for this and
not for other stuff. And if you bring it up, you'll probably be
hateful, all right. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
This is kind of a big deal that involves three point four million cars.
Yeah, three point four million vehicles. Hundai and Kia are recalling three
and a half million vehicles in the US, but in the meantime are telling
owners to park them outside due to engine fires. We just had the story
in Uzbekistan where it was an electric vehicle that blew up a customs warehouse,
which is terrifying if it was just one of them, Like I see those
parked on the first floor the parking garage at North Hills. Are you telling
me it could just bring that down? But in this case, yeah,
they're asking people to park them outside. The only reason I saw this and
I thought about, aren't these the vehicles that have the ignition thing and everyone's
stealing them? Right? The were the like that? Didn't the Mayor of
Chicago file a lawsuit against these car companies because apparently, and I want to
say that, they call the theft gang Ian Milwaukee literally like the Kia Boys
or something, because they steal these vehicles. So the Hyundai Santa Fe and
the Kia Sorrento are the it's the SUVs. But if there is an ignition
issue and they're really easy to steal, I understand why you'd want them in
a garage. Now you got to park them outside, And I don't know
if they've remedied that issue with the theft issues. So I guess pick your
poison. You want your garage to burn down, or you want your car
to be gone when you go out in the morning one or the other.
All right, So back to the debate. Like I said it was,
it wasn't particularly illuminating. A lot of cross fighting, a lot of Trump's
not here, Let's go after him. Chris Christie tried to give him a
nickname, Donald Duck. Chris Christie's not good at this. But in between,
obviously there was some policy discussion. Ron DeSantis, Ramswamy, a lot
of a lot of airtime, a lot of minutes. Tim Scott not as
much, Nicky Haley quite a bit. It ebbed and it flowed. What
was really awkward, though, is at the end. So at the end
of the debate, I don't know why somebody thought this would be a good
idea. All of the candidates were asked, because they had they had a
notepad. They were asked to write the name of their opponent in the room
there who needs to quote get voted off the island because we're making dumb survivor
references. And to their credit, nobody did it. So then it got
extra awkward obviously for the people hosting the debate. Here is de santists who
was first to speak up stage tonight should be voted off the island. Please
use your marker to write your choice on the note pad in front of you
fifteen seconds starting out of the people on the stage, who should be I'm
absolutely respect I mean, we're here like, well, you know, we're
happy to debate. I think that that's disrespectful to my fellow competitive the future
of the country. Yeah. Yeah, the whole thing was, like I
said, some of it was cringey. That was extra cringey. Uh and
and like I said, none of them, none of them wrote it.
And then they got back to doing their goodbyes, and it ended probably just
a few minutes early there. So I mean, who's doing that? Wait,
hold one all right, Ross just handed me a piece of paper.
Why is my name on this? Why is there just a piece of paper
with my name on this? Apparently I've been voted off the show. That's
good, I can go back to bed. Oh let's see here, okay.
But when they are actually getting into discussion, it's interesting. I see
that Haley, nicky Haley probably got one of the better responses to last night,
the part where she's screaming back and forth when they're all talking. Her
voice stands out so much so I was getting extra annoyed by her. But
it's pretty clear that she and Ramswamy have beef. And if you've seen some
of the news leading up to this, Uh, she basically thinks he's a
fraud. He thinks she's an idiot. And so you do get you do
get some fun moments there, obviously, because TikTok is one of the most
dangerous social media accident we could have. And once you've got Honestly, every
time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber for what you say.
Yeah, so it's not quite Trump Jeb level of beef, which was
very entertaining, which then evolved into Trump Christy beef, Trump Cruise beef.
I mean basically said his dad might have taken part in the assassination of a
president. I mean, they were digging deep. This is just shallow school
yard stuff. But they do enjoy going after each other and vivic. He
loves filibustering over a wide variety of things. I have a different view on
this. I think Trump was an excellent president. But the America First agenda
does not belong to one man. It does not belong to Donald Trump,
it doesn't belong to me. It belongs to you, the people of this
country, and The question is who's going to unite this country and take the
America First agenda to the next level. I have a question who else was
doing America First before Trump came along? Who who was hYP I don't mean
some some you know freshman congressman, that's fine, I'm glad, But I
mean who in any position of power in Washington, DC was even remotely doing
America first? Name it. I don't know, Ross. I was racking
my brain. Is there anyone before Trump came along where you would describe their
type of government and their leadership as quote America First, even on the Republican
side, I wouldn't think so. I can't think of anybody. I mean
maybe the closest would be Ronald Reagan. Oh no, no, no,
I'm sorry, but I mean in our current and like the Washington, in
the Washington that Trump walked in to, Nope, nobody right, nobody was
sitting there going why are we spending all that money and for all these people
who hate us? I mean, you were, I was people calling to
the show and do it, but then we get pooh pooed by people in
Washington. Go you just don't understand diplomacy. We have to do this,
so because if we don't do this, then they'll then they'll want to attack
us or harm us or do stuff. And I'm like, that's called That's
called a ransom, isn't it. It's a black belt payment. I don't
feel I don't like that. And the other reason was is because look what
happened when Trump said America first. The immediately it was he is a fascist.
It's nationalism. It's white nationalism, is it? Do you think people
right now going wait a sex. So we're going to have a government shutdown,
but the government during the shutdown, our government will still pay fifty seven
thousand Ukrainian armors and provide the cash payments for various industries, which I think
a lot of people didn't know we were doing. That's a thing. The
government shuts down, we will still pay the salaries there in Ukraine. Don't
believe me. Look it up and there's a whole list of stuff that doesn't
feel like America's first thank you. And the other reason they didn't want to
mention it is because they knew they would get tagged with the you know,
the nationalist, you're a white nationalist, because of course they're going to throw
that in there, because everything's a racism a charge on top of everything else.
But they didn't want to go there. They didn't they didn't want any
part of it. They wanted a whole hum go along and get made to
look stupid, and anyone who did come in, you know, champing at
the bit to go ahead, Hey, underwent that vampiric transition that I have
commented on that goes on in Washington, where you you know somebody, you
think they're a decent person, and then they get up to Washington and you
get about a decade out there and they're unrecognizable. They're literally they're like an
they're like an evil movie character, and they are wildly disconnected from the people
they're representing. So no, I couldn't name one person in Washington, mister
Ramswami that that that was a model that they would be comfortable anywhere near,
because of the ways in which they were attacked for it. So I think
in this instance, yeah, you kind of can say that's his thing,
but you can come up with your own thing, and it can share a
lot of those a lot of those items, and can even include things you
didn't agree with Trump on. And then market yourself like that. There's a
lot of things. Yeah, a lot of things that I can look at
on paper and go, yeah, that was cool. There's a lot of
stuff. I can realize that that was just Trump being attacked, but they
were also unfore stairs. Nobody's perfect, so build off that platform. But
half of you cats on there. Nicki Haley, Nicki Haley is establishment.
Let's just be abundantly clear here. And the backstory about how Nicki Haley ended
up at the UN it's pretty interesting. They have I told this on the
year. All right, So the lieutenant governor of South South Carolina wanted to
be the governor of South Carolina. Lieutenant governor and Trump are besties or they
were, I don't know if not. This is the short story, and
he really wanted to be governor. Nicky Haley's there. But if Nicky Haley
gets appointed to the UN then the lieutenant governor of South Carolina could be the
governor of South Carolina, which is what he wants. And that's his buddy.
And if you think that that input didn't have anything to do with it,
you're not paying attention. Man, Is this brave? I'm sorry,
Ross just sent me breaking I don't know. Does this qualify? All right?
What happened? Sir Michael gimp On has diet He played Dumbledore and Harry
Potter. He passed away. I thought he died already. Hey he did
not. Who's no, the Lord of the Rings wizard died. That was
the That was the first Dumbledore. Which one I can't keep How many Dumbledoors
are there? There were two Dumbledoors. The first one passed away a long
time ago, in the middle of filming the series. All right, but
the guy you think of when you're thinking about Dumbledore, that's the guy that
passed away. Okay, so this is other? Is this Dumbledore still gay?
This was the gay one. This was the gay dumble Well, I'm
gonna have to get out the music, but first I gotta take a break.
Case O Day Radio program hang on one oh six one f M Talk
and ninety four five u PTI, two stations driving the best in talk.
This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, I was
gonna get the double Dooor song out, but I got two segments left.
I got a bunch of stories, and I gotta play this song because you
know what we do Florida Man, Florida Man. Is something in the water,
the erro or sent that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's
like the state is one week done ass trap. Nowhere else has the Florida
Man. It is all almost like as the weird factor climbs, and you'll
find out it happened in Florida every time Florida Man, Florida Man. If
anyone can cheer me, how do you know? You can just mind life
be crazy? But of course, but it's not as bad crowd crazy as
your's. Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it,
they don't mind him. You're ready for Florida on that all right?
Let me ask you a question. What he is a concern that has crossed
your mind when you've taken a trip to Florida. For those of you who
have, I guess if you've never been to Florida, maybe I haven't thought
about it. But what are some of the things you think about just like
any other trip? Right? What? What? What's on your list of
concerns that need to be? A drip price sunscreen? Right, you're gonna
go down to Florida, You're gonna need sunscreen. I want to make sure
to have that, whether at the beach or walking around Disney and it's nine
thousand degrees, you want to stay hydrated when I have some water there.
You don't think when you're when you're on vacation, things can get expensive.
You may not be able to find an in market ATMs. You want to
make trim bring enough cash. Am I ross m I think of it?
Am I missing anything? Any concerns, like when you guys go down to
Florida, Any concerns you have about Florida. We always playing ahead when it
comes to weather. Yeah, that's you know, that's a very good point.
The weather there, Yeah, absolutely, plus travel time if you're in
Miami or Tampa. The traffic Orlando. Don't even get me started. If
you're down around Disney. Even if you're not going to Disney, you're screwed.
But one of the concerns that has crossed my mind recently reading some stories,
and I'm concerned if I go to Florida that somebody will unknowingly put drugs
in my butt and then I'll get arrested, because apparently it keeps happening.
Is that when you guys went to Disney. Was that something you were concerned
about ross somebody? Honestly, it was not. You didn't even was not
for a moment. No, because nobody thinks of it until they're standing there
with the officer and they've just removed drugs from your butt and you're like,
whoa, those are not my drugs, right, that's how they get you.
Yeah, and then you're like, I can't who the drug ferry put
him in there. I don't know. And it's not just Florida, but
it seems to happen. The cartels will sneak into your house at night and
put it up your butt. Yeah. You know when I when I when
I was flying out of Columbia, I first thing I did. I got
on the plane, but post security as I went into the bathroom and check
the butt. So because I you know, I didn't want to get off
the plane in Miami and then boom, you're under arrest. That would be
no good. Or this has happened to me before, Like I've been going
through an airport and somebody asked me that, hey, can you wear my
pants? Can you wear these pants? Are they nice pants? Very nice
pants? But I had to check them first because yeah, I don't want
to get busted. It's like that guy who got busted with a gun and
then he said, no, my wife packs it. And then it's like,
did she do it intentionally? May just doomed? Yeah, so somebody
trying to get you awhere that Yeah, that's that's a that's a tale as
old as time, right. Or they're like, hey, look at these
big pills I have. They're vitamins, right, And you're like, I
don't know. That looks like that looks like a trojan with powder in it.
But then I remember I'm not a doctor. You're not a doctor.
Most of us are not doctors. So the guy says he's a doctor.
You gotta swallow it. So anyway, deputy's in Florida, I say,
well, they had a little issue. This is Florida woman. Her name
is Katrin no Workman. And the way the Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey started
his press conference, he had rules for being a drug dealer. One,
don't be a drug dealer too, don't be a drug dealer in Brevard County.
Three. If you're gonna deal drugs, stop falling asleep behind the wheel.
Apparently they catch a lot of people like that, and number four,
even if you hide drugs in your butt, we'll find them. Well that's
what they did. Katrina Workman decided to be a drug dealer, decided to
be one in Brevard County, decided to sample the product, which you know
is a no no, fell asleep, and eventually police went up to her
as she was passed out in her car at a gas station on Tuesday evening,
and after going round and round with her and realizing she's under the influence
and cursory searches and getting her back to the jail, the police and miss
Workmen were shocked to find the following in her prison wallet. Two grams of
meth, two and a half grams of fentinel. That's a crap ton of
fentanyl, by the way, two grams of propine. I don't know what
that is, six and a half grams of amphetamine, marijuana cash, let's
say how much marijuana. So basically, she's got a she's got a butt
drug buffet, and you're going to be shocked to learn that. When Workman
told the sheriff's deputies at the jail whether she had any contraband hidden on her
person or in her person. She said no, and then quote acted surprised
when deputies stumbled upon her stash. See this is terrifying to me. This
poor woman just going to the gas station to get a drink. Obviously she
was having a negative reaction to the caffeine, and while that was going on,
somebody stuffed all those drugs in there. Could happen to you. I'm
just saying, you gotta watch out. So anyway, she's charged with all
the stuff, I'm telling you, man, and they're all separately wrapped too
like. And they found her asleep, which means she put the drugs up
there before she passed out, which she didn't just do it in a fit
of oh my gosh, the cops are here. They found her passed out,
which means she made a decision prior to doing that. Hey I'm gonna
put all these drugs in there and then act surprised when they find them.
But no, they still charge you. All right, here we go eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. It is eight forty three.
Uh race stagic from the weather channels here. How is it anytime somebody
gets arrested and they have drugs in their butt, It's not their drugs.
They've never seen it somebody else put in Florida. And in Florida, man,
he keeps happening. I'm scared. This is why scared to go to
Florida. You're just mind their own business. And then boom, you're you're
you know, you're hauling coke. You're muling you're mule right too, Yeah
right, yeah, who knew? Who knew? If you were looking to
get into that line of work, just going go into Florida. They're always
better in the Tampa area though, like the one woman had or the guy
had like six syringes in there with the caps on. All right, wow,
okay, it's not a monsteresting yeah, and he's like, no,
these are not mine, No, they're not not even craziness. All right.
But I'll tell you what, if you are going to go out and
mule drugs outside, it's gonna be nice. Oh but dude, did you
hear the golf thing? The largest golf ball factory in the world just burned
down in Taiwan, and it produces twenty percent of the world's golf balls and
they're almost exclusively sold here in the US. Oh it's bad. Yeah,
And it's for a bunch of big brand names, Callaway Tailor made. So
I'm not saying Horde golf balls, but I better tell my play like me.
Yeah yeah, my daughter's boyfriend, I better tell hi because he golfs
every day. So oh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to give him
my heads up. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah,
Callows Beer Made, Bridgestone, Mizzouno, and Wilson, and eighty percent of
their sales are here in the US. So yeah, that's not got you,
okay, okay, well yeah, well not the greatest golfing weather anyway,
but guess when it's gonna get better, right towards the weekend. Right,
So the mad rushes on, right, So everybody's rushing out now to
stock up some drizzle clouds. I've seen a little bit of maybe sunshine trying
to get through in some spots around the triangle. Toward the west there's more
clouds, but west of Greensboro, little break. But you get the message.
A lot of clouds, some sun today a little bit, seventies,
might get into the upper seventies tomorrow. The drizzle fog maybe back in the
morning. Otherwise cloudy or sunshine as we go through the weekend, though some
partial sun Saturday, mostly sunny Sunday upper seventies might even hit eighty and if
we don't over the weekend, early next week looks real nice, lots of
sunshine potentially through Wednesday with highs in the upper seventies to low eighties. So
we're going to get out of this stuff in this pattern we've been stuck in
with the clouds, especially by the weekend or early next week. Next week
looks a lot better than this weekend, a lot warmer too, with above
average temperatures. Okay, all right, thank you sir, appreciate it,
and we'll talk to you tomorrow. That's a race aging there from the Weather
Channel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The golf ball shortage is nigh.
I'll tell you more about that and we'll chat with Jeff Bellens. Your next
hang on, Jeff Your Day Smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News
Talk five PTI more with Casey Starts. Now, all good morning and welcome.
It is eight fifty two year Bloomberg Update now with Jeff Bunder's that's what's
going on, bug Bourder Casey. The job market remains tight, the labor
Department reports the number of workers filing new claims for jobless benefits ticked up by
two thousand to two hundred four thousand last week. A bigger jump was expected.
It could be sometime before we get any more labor market data on the
job market if the government shuts down over the weekend, and that's looking increasingly
likely. The government also released its final look at how the economy performed at
the second quarter. There was no change from the prior estimate that the gross
domestic product expanded at a two point one percent annual rate, but the new
reports as consumer spending increased much less than previously estimated. Spending was up just
eight tenths percent for the quarter. That news initially sent stock market futures higher,
but they fall he turned lower now futures down the twenty points at the
moment. Plan changes to Delta Airlines loyalty programs didn't go over well with Delta's
loyal customers. The carrier announced that skymiles rewards would be earned by cash spent
instead of miles flown. Some members would lose access to airport lounges. All
of the pushback from customers has Delta CEO at Bastion promising a redo. The
United Autoworkers' Union plans another expansion of its strike against the Big three automakers if
contract talks are not making major progress by tomorrow. UAW president Sean Fayne plans
to make an announcement at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. More workers could be off
the job by noon. The year of labor unrest continues. Hospitality workers in
Las Vegas have authorized their unions to call a strike if negotiations with major resorts
don't result in a new contract. And some Apple customers say their new iPhones
overheat during use or while charging. The complaints come from people with the high
end fifteen Pro and Pro Max iPhones. Technical support staff at Apple have been
referring customers to an older article concerning the issue. And KC it is National
neighbor Day and neighbored dot Com has released its twenty twenty three list of most
neighborly cities in America. Raleigh comes in at number nine. Didn't want to
miss that. Well, they're obviously not on my block, but whatever,
Hey, you know they just added a bunch of dictionary words yesterday, six
and ninety new words in the dictionary. All right, let what you want
to give you with the couple. Tell me if you know these words.
Okay, okay, chat GPT obviously, yes that yes, that's an AI
driven chatbot. Sex stortion. Apparently that's with social media. Somebody threatens to
publish embarrassing pictures greenwashing. Yeah, I'm companies that, companies that make claims
about their environmental programs that don't really come to me. I'm shocked. And
then finally this one which I had no idea about, shower orange that I
have not heard. So I had not heard this either, and I'm so
sad that I googled it. Apparently there's a trend where people eat an orange
in the shower because the steam creates an aromatic orange smell and they get breakfast,
and there is a psychotic number of articles about this. So, yeah,
it's a word. It's a little too much information maybe, but all
right, yeah, yeah, all right, have a good one. Okay,
you two, Casey take care o. Yeah, no, I had
to look it up. I'd never heard that before. Apparently it's so popular
now it's a word they put in the dictionary. Yeah, it's a word,
shower orange. Go ahead, google that clicked the news to have there's
everyone's done articles on there? Is it just into the shower? No,
So there's an account I follow on x right where I think his name is
Gaz but he does it for a comedic effects. So you see his like
dingy apartment shower right the corner of it, and then you see his hand
sticking out from behind the camera. And he always has different and he does
like food shower reviews, so he'll be like put strawmy sandwich and he'll be
holding a ginormous put strawmy sandwich in the shower and review it. Or he'll
be like whole cheesecake and he'll be holding the cheesecake in the shower. And
that's this whole that's this whole bit. So the shower orange people are just
unimaginative pretty much. I think they stole his bit. Dude, what about
wings? And he has done wings and it makes sense because they're messy and
you're in the shower. I'm gonna have wings in the shower today. I
have three leftover wings in my fridge reheat shower boom is shower beer a word?
Because and I know I'm I was aware of the shower beer thing being
a thing that has to be in the dictionary of shower orange. I am
a shower beer enthusiast when I was much younger, Now not so much.
But yeah, I haven't a shower a shower beer because you gotta drink them
fast or they get warm, all right. Other words, Uh, dogo
slang for dog. I don't know why that that word annoys me. I
didn't. I didn't realize this wasn't in Do you know what is now in
the dictionary? Simp Okay, so you if you like to use that a
whole lot on on the twitters bingo card. But it's a different definition.
So it's not like the bingo you play at the Senior Center. It's a
list of possible but expected scenario. So if somebody's predictable, you could be
like, oh, yeah, that's on their bingo card if they just do
the same thing. Uh, is there any really dumb ones? Well,
shower orange, smishing. I don't I'm never going to use most of these
words. Wow. Hallucination now has a third definition, the ones you know.
But also it is a term used to describe a misleading result generated by
artificial intelligence that is plausible but actually false. So like when they were helping
that lawyer by giving them cases that didn't exist. That is called an AI
hallucination. I don't want the AI hallucinating. You know what, I'm gonna
go out on go on record here, tiny house, right, yeah,
why not. Nerve has been added to describe the renovation of video games to
create less exciting scenarios. I just assume that word was in, but it
is accurately. I look forward
