WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.120 Alrighty, good morning everybody, and welcome. He is six oh seven. 2 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.439 It's Thursday, although it is going to flow just a little different today because 3 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.600 we got two different guests because well, yesterday normally we chat with Lieutenant Governor, 4 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:44.240 but he had a thing or so we're you know, we're doing that 5 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:49.079 today still be the same time. Eight oh five Mark Robinson will join us. 6 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.719 Yeae. I wonder if he has any thoughts on the William Barber insanity 7 00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.920 should be interesting also seven o five. We didn't get a chance to chat 8 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.439 with him the very last week of the year, but we're trying to make 9 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:14.079 this a regular thing. And that is Stephen Kent. He writes for, 10 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.239 among other things, bounding into comics, and you know, really at the 11 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.120 forefront of all of these stories about hey, what are they doing in the 12 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.680 world of entertainment? Oh good lord, what have they done to my classic? 13 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.840 Or you know, all of the Disney insanity you name it, And 14 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:38.599 so we pick his brain on that stuff. But have we got a thing 15 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.799 today? Ross Why do you think it took him so long to think of 16 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.840 this? I mean, I have to assume they have a whole room of 17 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:52.439 people thinking stuff up over at Disney, right, it just you're so bloated 18 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.920 that would have to be the thing. So how how did it take him? 19 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.640 And tell what year did what year did the first Star Wars come out? 20 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.319 Was it's seventy or seventy one, seventy seven, seventy seventy seven, 21 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:09.199 I'm way off, So since nineteen seventy seven, and nobody thought, hey, 22 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:17.120 what if what if we make the Force female? And and and tell 23 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:22.000 it from that perspective. It's it's definitely a new idea, it is. 24 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.479 Yeah, and and you know since the seventies, I mean they haven't this 25 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.120 is before I was born, for you were born, right, that is? 26 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.319 Yes, yes, like nobody in our entire lifetime nobody thought, hey, 27 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:42.680 what if we take this franchise but make it make it female focused? 28 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.560 Yeah, not only female focus, but female and diverse as possible, so 29 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.039 super diverse. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 30 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.719 I just the fact that they're just getting around to this kind of amazing to 31 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.800 me. So and no, that's not that's not just Ross and I being 32 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.840 well it is us beans, our cat. But also it's exactly a thing 33 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.879 that was said. And I believe she also said she wants to make men 34 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:15.159 mad or something. So it's like it's the lure, it's the wheeler nothing 35 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.120 from snow White press conference. Yeah, she said she wants to make men 36 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.039 uncomfortable, uncomfortable. So now every male character is going to fall into a 37 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.879 pit of They're gonna smelt every dude, every everyone is gonna Yeah, they're 38 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.120 all like falling into the pit, all of them. Now you'd be But 39 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.639 if you, I mean, do you mix You can't. You got to 40 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.800 mix it up. Some you smelt others. The big the big thing in 41 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.479 the desert, I don't even know if that she's got a name. You 42 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.360 just ship them off to Mustaphar. Oh wait, didn't they kill No, 43 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.960 they killed that thing right right, because remember that's how the Mandalorian was, 44 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.800 or not the Mandalorian, but the the Boba serious. He went vegan and 45 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.879 he passed away. But you know what, if a plant tried to eat 46 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.639 me, I'd probably eat plants too, Do you know what I'm saying. 47 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.879 I mean like, all right, you want to get into this, let's 48 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.560 do this. So yeah, we got we got that insanity that's at seven 49 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:19.560 o five. But but yesterday, and this is by no means the totality 50 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:26.120 of it. I don't know if there was anything game changing, but yesterday 51 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:36.879 the first this is specifically deposition transcripts from two two different trials or two different 52 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:43.560 legal proceedings were released. Again, this is not the totality of it. 53 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:49.040 There are even redactions in this three people redacted. One is a member of 54 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.639 royalty, but it's not Andrews. So I don't know what's up. And 55 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.600 you know, and keep in mind, it's a it's a it's a deposition 56 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.120 talking about a variety of things. So you have to look at all, 57 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.279 right, well, how is that person's name brought up? How is that? 58 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.800 So in some case there are some names that are on there, which 59 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:17.600 are which are names that are included because one of the girls who is testifying 60 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:28.879 one of the the sex trafficked is relating secondhand stories, right or seeing a 61 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.319 celebrity somewhere, which isn't necessarily nefarious, you know, although there is the 62 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:38.439 Michael Jackson's in there too, because apparently he came to Epstein's house in Palm 63 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:46.439 Beach. I'm I'm you know, I'm for financial advice. I'm sure so 64 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.480 anyway, but you know others where it would not hold up in a criminal 65 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.759 case. Like, well, I don't know. I maybe I don't know 66 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.600 that because if Epstein said it and he's dead now, I'm not sure how 67 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.959 that works. But like with Clinton, the thing that everyone's pointing out is 68 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:10.399 where a comment was made to the girl who's testifying. And I always have 69 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:15.600 trouble pronouncing her name, so I apologize, as s j Joe Barr. 70 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.040 Let me make sure I'm pronouncing it correctly, Joanna joe Berg, excuse me. 71 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.680 She testified, among other things, that Epstein quote once told her that 72 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:40.120 former President Clinton quote likes them young. But in the testimony she is not 73 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:47.319 specifically testifying to a first person encounter with Clinton in that section, simply something 74 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.800 that Epstein said, or she alleges that he said, So you have that. 75 00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:01.000 But other stuff is it's pretty right there man. In fact, one 76 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.360 of the weirdest ones, Joe Burke said in a deposition, the Duke of 77 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.560 York, Prince Andrew, put his hand on her breast as she sat on 78 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.000 his lap at this was at the Manhattan Townhouse. She also posed for a 79 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:20.439 photo alongside Guffrey. I did see her, as I guess the primary accuser 80 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:30.600 whose chest was also groped, although he did so using a puppet of Andrew 81 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:36.319 of himself. All right, man, look, all of this is sorted. 82 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:43.639 All of this is creepy to the tenth power, but somehow you found 83 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:50.879 a way. So see the Prince has a puppet of himself that he uses 84 00:07:53.319 --> 00:08:01.680 to grope underage girls by. Admittedly, when you hear that, the weirdness 85 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.120 factor is climbed, right, I think we can agree. All right, 86 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.000 I'll give you a rundown. We'll just kind of go bullet point on some 87 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.000 of the others. You don't have to fish through all of it. And 88 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.759 again this is this is but the beginning. But also I don't know there 89 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:24.000 is anything crazy in there. And if it all turns into a to a 90 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.879 nothing burger, I'm gonna have some theories why. But we'll find out together. 91 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.799 We'll do it. Coming up, hanging on, keeping you connected. 92 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.159 This is ninety four or five WPTI and the Triad and one six one FM 93 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:48.080 Talk and the Triangle. All right, so welcome back. It is six 94 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:56.360 twenty. So, yeah, what you had yesterday, as you had several 95 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.639 documents that were connected to a couple different legal proceeding. It's it's a big 96 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.200 document. Well, there's there there's several, but it's the second one they 97 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.639 put out. It's like over a thousand pages and there's a there's one hundred 98 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.840 and fifty plus names in there, and again they could be in there. 99 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.840 For there's one there's I can't remember who it is, Hugh Music, some 100 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.600 pop tart where they were talking about a concert, so like it wasn't. 101 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:35.519 Trump is mentioned in there in the capacity that Joe Berg said that they were 102 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.440 landing in Atlantic City and somebody made a comment that they should call Trump, 103 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.279 and so that is reflected U, you know, in in that conversation. 104 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.279 So you know, not not all is created equal. But you get into 105 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.279 there, and uh, there's a lot of names, man, and not 106 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:03.879 all of it looks so innocent. Bill Richardson, uh Dershowitz. Not a 107 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.919 good look there. Even though one of the names that's being withheld is a 108 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:16.159 hotel chain owner, people are speculating who that is. Let's see here ross 109 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.519 whom I leaving out? Oprah. Oprah was mentioned in there. The two 110 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.200 thousand and eight Patriots, sad, sad for them? May the entire team? 111 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.799 Yeah, well are two thousand and seven, I'm sorry two thousand and 112 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.720 seven, that'd be the undefeated, the lost of the giants, so it 113 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.399 was not a good year for them. Stephen Hawking, Stephen Hawking, yes, 114 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.279 Oh and the memes, Oh, the memes, yes, yes, 115 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:46.639 yes, so two thousand and seven Patriots. I mean, why not man 116 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:56.799 to throw them in there. Let's see, it's the I guess the royal 117 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.480 family. They put a statement out saying not he's still are He's the boy 118 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.879 Michael Jackson who in the documents was said to have gone to Epstein's Palm Beach 119 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:13.159 home but did not get a massage from an underage girl. You don't say 120 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.679 you're telling me that Michael Jackson did not get a massage from an underage girl. 121 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:28.360 Okay, all right, somehow I believe that. Let's see here, 122 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:37.279 Thomas Pritzker, he's the Hyatt Hotels billionaire. He's he's a different one. 123 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:46.960 Specifically though Pittsburgh, Pritzker in the documents is named as having had sex with 124 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.279 one of the girls. Specifically, how many times did you have sex with 125 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.679 Thomas Pritzker? Quote? I believe it was with Tom once, said Joe 126 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.600 Berg. So you know, if you want to pour all through it, 127 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.960 there you go. Obviously, the stories will run the the disinformation I've already 128 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.200 seen being posted out there right where people are fundamentally changing stuff in there is 129 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.559 not unexpected. But I would just encourage you as you go through there to 130 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.120 try to glean as much identifiable information as possible, like in what capacity or 131 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:30.320 they mean brought up And I guess, you know, we'll see as the 132 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.960 as the documents come out if it really lives up to what people were mentioning. 133 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:43.960 You know, it was a little troubling for me. Is yeah, 134 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.320 there is a Richardson reference, and there are people that are you know, 135 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.519 like Bill Clinton, who obviously was very much involved in politics as a former 136 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.639 president. But I was taken aback by the utter lack of you know, 137 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:07.960 sitting politicians, man, because this dude just surrounded himself with that. Plus 138 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.639 the way that Dick Durban acted the other day when he's like Jeffrey who what 139 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:20.679 I think I know of him? But we don't know. Let's see here, 140 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.519 you know, one part of the motion claims that Epstein forced Jane Doe 141 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:33.240 three is not identified to have sex with Alan dershowit at one point, however, 142 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:43.159 that's not reiterated here, and that was that was speculation from a story 143 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.759 that came out previously, so maybe true, may not. We don't know 144 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.320 that part of the list will not be released until at least January twenty second, 145 00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:01.039 as there is a current motion hearing on it. So if people are 146 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.080 saying, well, look, the documents have just came out, had the 147 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.559 Epstein or had the Dershowitz thing, not yet, but that's what people are 148 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:13.200 speculating if in fact that it does exist, there is reference, there's a 149 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.559 memo endorsement reference in here, but we don't have the totality of what was 150 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:24.720 testified to and then from there, I don't know what you do. I 151 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.360 got to think that there's some statute of limitations that's hit on most of this 152 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:35.679 stuff except in O and gislaying. Maxwell's lawyer put a statement out saying, 153 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.440 this whole case is about the abuse of women, and the only person in 154 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.200 jail is a woman. Yeah. Yeah, it would be two people in 155 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:52.720 jail, really, the two that most people consider most responsible. But one 156 00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:00.120 of them, you know, he killed himself for something else. Yes, 157 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.919 So like it's it's not like it's not like there wasn't somebody else in the 158 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:13.639 Pokey as well. But obviously there's a different circumstances there all right, eight 159 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.879 eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So forgive me if I 160 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:28.159 continue to be how do you say pessimistic? On h there really being a 161 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:35.559 lot of fallout other than just people writing stories, other people being asked to 162 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.080 disassociate themselves with you know, since its political season, that's what we do. 163 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.200 But ultimately, I yeah, other than financial, I don't know what 164 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.600 other consequences could be coming down the pipe. And I wasn't blown away by 165 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:56.679 anything yesterday, So like, I just assume Bill Clinton liked them young? 166 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.639 O, right? Right? Did you need no one everything that you know 167 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.639 about Bill Clinton? Did you need a legal document somewhere to say, you 168 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:15.080 know what? I wonder if he likes him young? Because I wasn't groundbreaking 169 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:22.080 reading that yesterday, Briley, he likes him young, and I bet he 170 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:29.399 likes him a little country too, just judging by what we know there little 171 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.320 Arkansas root state. If I had to guess, if I had to guess, 172 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.840 but that's just me Frinch Andrew. He just likes blesting people with a 173 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.720 puppet or something. One six one at them talk and ninety four five w 174 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:48.440 PTI two stations driving the best end talk. This is Casey O Day and 175 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:56.440 Carolina's morning News and welcome back in his six thirty five our phone number eight 176 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:03.839 eight eight nine three four seven eight seven. Not that anyone, I guess 177 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:15.880 cares about the the game itself, but the uh, the rosters for the 178 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.359 Pro Bowl have been revealed by the way I had I had forgotten the stadium 179 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:26.000 hosting it is Camping World Stadium. That stadium in Orlando where they massacred the 180 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:32.599 pop tart and then they ran the cheese at Canard So God help us, 181 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:45.000 that's where the Pro Bowl will be. Let's see here. I I know 182 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:52.279 you know your boy not making the quarterback selection absolutely blew me away. Ross. 183 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.880 I just I that's the Pro Bowl, so stupid. They got Lamar 184 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:03.920 Patrick in Tua and not I know. It's not the MVP thing, and 185 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.880 I get it. James Cook made the running backs list. I'm just scanning 186 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:14.799 over here. Who else did you get? Yeah? Doctall, Yeah, 187 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:23.559 Dawkins on defense. I'm seeing if you guys send anybody. Sorry, So 188 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.759 none of the way they have this. They got alternates, but those first 189 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.680 two are the only two. Those are the two. Ohay, like Allen 190 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.480 and Diggs are like a second alternate or something. But I think, like 191 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.200 the Pro Bowl is dumb. Just get rid of it. And outside, 192 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.799 I don't care about MVP. I just want a Super Bowl. Yeah, 193 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.400 no, no, no, I'm I'm with you. I mean, at 194 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.519 the end of the day, the Vikings they can send as many people as 195 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:51.880 they want. But although they didn't send as many this year, but I 196 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.599 you know, we still need the ring. Yeah, Vikings didn't even get 197 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:02.240 a wide receiver on there. Wait, I understand Jefferson was injured, but 198 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:11.319 still let's see here. Yeah, and then Acres, he's been injured most 199 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.839 of the season. Now we did get Hunter at linebacker. He's been playing 200 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.039 really really well. And then, uh, I think we have like a 201 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.440 couple of special teams, guys. Uh ross any other teams you want going 202 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.319 to look up just while I'm here, but did you? Yeah? What 203 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.680 about the What about Like I'm curious about other teams in the a f C. 204 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.480 I know TWOA got in oh AFC? All right? What about like 205 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.559 the Patriots just just a random team, right, random team out there, 206 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.759 the Pats any of them in Yeah? Well, hold on, hold on, 207 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:41.440 I gotta I gotta be able, you know, because I gotta look 208 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.519 at the whole list here, right, do you want to make sure that 209 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:51.400 you get the uh, get the number on both because you got to look 210 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.599 at offense and defense. So uh, all right, let we get the 211 00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.400 I have the NFC here, let me get the a f C up and 212 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:07.000 let's see here do do do do? Do do do? Carry the one 213 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:10.960 and hold on. Where's my sound? Where's my sound? Okay? Here 214 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:21.880 we go, carry the one and mum the deep special. Okay, all 215 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:23.559 right, I got it here ros you want to guess? Guess the number? 216 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.759 All right, I'm gonna guess like two, like two in No, 217 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:32.519 No, two is not correct. That is not a correct answer. So 218 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.599 alright, I'm gonna go. If I gotta go again, I gotta go 219 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:45.720 one one, one person in the pro one. Uh yeah, you're seated. 220 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.480 I see you're seated, So grab them on there. I'll give you 221 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:55.119 one more guess because that too is not accurate. Can you get half a 222 00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:00.759 player in? Is that even possible? I mean no, no, you 223 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:07.240 can't. Probably would be against players Association. So the answer is zero. 224 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:12.519 They have zero players. It's the first time since two thousand, by the 225 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.240 way, that the Patriots have yet to field a probra I'm right here, 226 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.119 though, it looks like the mascot at the Pro Bowl is going to be 227 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:22.000 a bag of milk. You're going to send it down on the top. 228 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:29.079 Yeah, well yeah, but I think that's probably the Milk Advisory Board advertising. 229 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.240 You know, they got milk people, and it would fit though, 230 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.799 with the consumption of mascots within this stadium Cannibal Stadium or whatever there is, 231 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:48.039 excuse me, Camping World Stadium. So yeah, maybe let's see here. 232 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.319 I don't see any big surprises on there, but ultimately, yes, so 233 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:59.799 zero they have zero. And then also in the AFC, it's basically all 234 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:06.440 the chiefs, So there you go. I know you're positively shocked by that, 235 00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.160 but there you go. All right eight eight eight nine three four seven 236 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.640 eight seven four. Man, that's a bummer. At least you don't have 237 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.279 to worry about injuries though, So there is that, and lord knows that 238 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.799 has been the nightmare for me this year. All right, let me flip 239 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:32.960 over to this. By the way, I'm getting sick of and he's sick 240 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.599 of this headline right here. Oh wait, hold on, Boston, Paul. 241 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.160 There's always next year. Yes, there is Boston, Paul, and 242 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:48.400 unless there's not unless Ai becomes self aware and the remaining humans are forced to 243 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:55.960 live underground in tunnels on rats. And it's the whole thing that Frankly, 244 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.359 frankly, I saw a documentary on didn't look didn't look fun. And if 245 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.400 that's the case, I suspect that probably won't be paying a lot of football. 246 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:11.720 So but I'm glad you're keeping the positive attitude. Okay, all right, 247 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.559 dude. Every time I see these headlines from Bounding into Comics with our 248 00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:26.480 guests coming up at seven oh five, it's like Bounding into Comics headlines are 249 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.519 like anytime I see one in our Twitter feed, I immediately have to see 250 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:37.559 if it's that or if it's the Babylon b This is like Percy Jackson and 251 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:44.880 the Olympians. Creator Rick Ordan says original books did not explore Medusa's character because 252 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.119 title Hero lacked the band with for deconstructing the patriarchy. I have a question, 253 00:23:52.880 --> 00:24:00.839 if there is a character of this lore right this, you know, 254 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:07.279 within mythology that does a pretty good job of handling the patriarchy, wouldn't it 255 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.319 be Medusa? You know? So? Stephen Kent, he sent me a 256 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.279 text yesterday he sends to me an email about what he wants to talk about, 257 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.640 you know, and we put in prep but Beforehandy, before I even 258 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:19.319 looked at the email, he sent me a text and he was like, 259 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.559 what about Medusa and the Patriarchy? And I knew immediately he was gonna talk 260 00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:29.079 about because Marky and I love watching the show, the Percy Jackson Show and 261 00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:32.519 Disney, Plus we like the movie. This is more true to the books. 262 00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:37.079 It is kind of like for a younger audience, right. So so 263 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.599 anyway, I've watched the episode like two times a Medusa episode, I knew 264 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:45.799 exactly what he was talking about. Not once while watching this episode was I 265 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.440 like, oh my god, this is what garbage That didn't stand out to 266 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.319 me. So reading this headline, it was like, are people really pissed 267 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.880 off and angry about it? Because, like you said, that's sort of 268 00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.599 what she does, right, right, Yeah, Yeah, she's not a 269 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.640 fan of dudes. They go into her storyline as to why she is the 270 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.279 way she like, why she was cursed the way she was, and she 271 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:10.680 talks about, you know, she was really into you know Aries and you 272 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:17.720 yeah, right, Aries was pissed because she had a relationship with besides, 273 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.279 and then she cursed her and all that, and it's just she tells the 274 00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.599 story. She tells the story from her point of view, which would make 275 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.640 sense because she's telling you what happened, right that Normally when somebody tells you 276 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.160 a story, it's from your point of view. There's no part of this 277 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.559 show where I was like, oh, this is uh, you know, 278 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.480 woke nonsense. It's we like the show. I feel like I feel like 279 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:45.039 there's this fine line that some in entertainment are taking where they don't really jam 280 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.400 a bunch of this crap and their show. They just in the interviews act 281 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.000 like they did I Dia, I agree, right. But there's also there's 282 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:57.559 also an industrial like an industry complex here where not there are people that are 283 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:02.559 looking for things to complain them out right on both sides of the spectrum, 284 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.559 left and right, and there are people guilty on the right where it can 285 00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.319 be the smallest thing and they're going to make into a giant thing because it 286 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.240 gets them clicks and it gets that you know, it's that's the headline. 287 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:12.720 But I'm saying, we've watched the show and there's not one part of it 288 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:17.480 where I'm like, oh, this is wool garbage? Okay, well, 289 00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:19.759 well we'll get it. We'll get into it. Yeah, I didn't I 290 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.039 read. I have not seen it, but I did read. You know 291 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:29.759 how she's portrayed here, and I feel like there's was there another sub sect 292 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:36.480 who's upset because they made her like more modern or something like. I don't 293 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:41.759 know who's upset here except like two different groups. But you're saying that if 294 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.319 you watch it, probably nobody. What did We've seen that episode twice? 295 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.839 We watched it once in Alabama at the Airbnb and then we went or was 296 00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.880 it? Uh? And actually that was a George South Carolina at Augusta. 297 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.759 We watched it in Augusta there, well Lincoln was sleeping and said, and 298 00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.920 then we watched it again we got how did you how did you play? 299 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.680 And Augusta? Yeah, but the Airbnb had a couch made out of green 300 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.000 jackets. I'll stop it. I'm not kidding. Did you. I hope 301 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.039 you didn't stay near the course. That's not a good area. We did 302 00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.559 stop for gasing the way out that morning at like five six in the morning. 303 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:17.160 Yeah, and I thought we might die. And it wasn't the Obama 304 00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:22.119 in South Carolina. It was Augusta not a good neighborhood. Yeah, no, 305 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.279 no, no, this is this is what I've told people. I'm 306 00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.319 like, wait, do you see where the courses? Like, oh, 307 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.079 I'm going down to the Masters this year. It's gonna be amazing. And 308 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.119 I'm like it is. Yeah, once you're on the grounds, looks amazing. 309 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.839 Yeah, this is you're through the gate. It's so weird, how 310 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.559 like a beautiful course is sandwich there, it's so bizarre. Like you said, 311 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.039 you leave the gates and you travel in a mile in whatever direction. 312 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.960 You're like, oh good lord, yeah, locked the doors. So anyway, 313 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.799 I did sign a guestbook though at the beer the Airbnb and everybody else 314 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.039 signed it, like, oh, I'm here for my wedding, right here 315 00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.440 for the bachelor party. We played cards all night and I'm like, I'm 316 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.480 like, Tiger Woods this date, you know, practiced at Augusta to stop 317 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:08.319 it completely. Yeah, had to so so so Tiger rented like what a 318 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:15.839 two bedroom condos townhouse? Oh man, I don't know. I thought he 319 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.200 rolled bigger than that, but that's just me. All right, Well, 320 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.920 good keep him guessing. Man, you can wrate. You should have wrote 321 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:26.440 John Daly and there people would believe it and then just talk about you know 322 00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:32.559 everything, Yeah, this is why everything's new. Oh my gosh, but 323 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.799 it was fun all right, six forty six. Like I said, we'll 324 00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.920 get into our discussion with Stephen Kent on a variety of things, not the 325 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.039 least of which is this. So the first woman and the first person of 326 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.920 color to direct a Star Wars film. It's set to be released in twenty 327 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.359 twenty six. You can say that the force is strong with this one. 328 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.839 Here's Charmino be Chenoi. You know, I'm very thrilled about the project because 329 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:02.759 I think what we are about to it is something very special. And we're 330 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:07.400 in twenty twenty four now, and I think it's about time that we had 331 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.200 a woman come forward to shape the story in a galaxy far far away, 332 00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:18.599 right right, first time get a woman involved in the creative process. There. 333 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.759 Here's the thing. Look, I don't know anything about this woman. 334 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.839 I know what I saw her talk about, and she is she's cookie color. 335 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.960 Woa Hollywood, right, But like, just take a step back from 336 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.880 that. When's the last time they ruled They're like were They're like, oh, 337 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.920 we're gonna bring in this director, the special director to handle stuff for 338 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.799 these writers. You saw it with she Haulk, you saw it with some 339 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.640 of the Marvel movies, you saw it with Indiana Jones, and of course 340 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.319 you see it was Star Wars, not just in this Chicks case, but 341 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:56.400 you know, with all the Kathleen Kennedy stuff and various others. It's been 342 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.720 a very long time since they've held a press conference for one of these franchises, 343 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.759 and I thought, you know what, I bet that director is a 344 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:11.440 fan of the material. It's like, I can't I don't remember ever jumping 345 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:17.279 to that conclusion here recently where I think, like, I don't believe and 346 00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:21.400 correct, maybe I'm one hundred percent wrong. And this woman has a Star 347 00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:25.720 Wars collectibles room. I don't believe for a moment she's even watched all of 348 00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:30.720 the Cannon product. Do you ross do you believe that this woman sat down 349 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:36.519 and has an affinity a quotable affinity for Star Wars as I know good honestly 350 00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:38.200 don't know much about her. I haven't heard much about I haven't looked into 351 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.880 it. I just know the whole premise of like, hey, it's finally 352 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.759 time for a female to you know, leave, Yes, is Kathleen Kennedy 353 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.480 said a while back, right, the Forces female T shirts, She's got 354 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.720 damn T shirt. Right, You've got Ray who's like the Mary Sue of 355 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.960 the Star Wars Galaxy. Right. I mean this is but it also they 356 00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.839 completely disregard anything that happened prior to twenty twenty. It's like the life history 357 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.079 started after twenty twenty. Because if you actually want to talk about females who 358 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:10.039 influenced Star Wars, George Lucas's daughter majorly influenced Star Wars the story. She 359 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:11.240 had tons of ideas, she worked in the effects team. I mean, 360 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:18.279 but it's like that she doesn't count for some reason. No, nope, 361 00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.480 nope, nope, nope, nope. It's uh, it's only under the 362 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.200 under the current lens. I just want to hear whether it's this woman or 363 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.039 whoever they're bringing out instead of I, Hey, here, so and so 364 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.200 is going to be doing the directing and then them go, we got to 365 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.720 get a woman in here and person of color and all that. I just 366 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.720 I want her to nerd out on something and I'll feel a lot more comfortable, 367 00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.519 right, because otherwise you think it's a sould Park meme. Yes, 368 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.000 yeah, get to the podium. Imagine if Ross imagined they said that you 369 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.079 were going to be they were bringing Ross in, and he's going to he's 370 00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:57.680 going to do a new Star Trek uh and and but it'll be Star Trek 371 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:04.160 within the your favorite canon of the tuo Vis thing. How excitedly would you 372 00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:07.319 be able to talk about you? So I'm in I'm in charge of like 373 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.359 a reboot of Voyager? Yes, oh my, Now are you just going 374 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:14.960 to talk about woke this or is this going to be an insane press conference 375 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.319 where you're going to threaten to do stuff to uh A character? Janeway's dead 376 00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.559 in the first scene, so why do I you got to tease that man? 377 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:27.839 But the point is you're talking about the content show this to be crushed 378 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.359 by the opening credits, Like she's sitting in the she's sitting in the bridge, 379 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.400 you know, she's on the chair and the credits are rolling and the 380 00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.359 boom they just so it's kind of a Spaceball's opening Yep, shoot her out 381 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:43.440 in the area lock. Just why is that implodes in space? I feel 382 00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.839 they got better tech and then they move on with their day like, oh 383 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.720 all right, but you see how Ross is purely story driven discussion and he's 384 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.319 not talking about how uh you know it's for the first time blah blah blah, 385 00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:59.240 you're not for the first time a what were you two percent Native American 386 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.960 or something? You twenty three and me or yeah, yeah, excuse me, 387 00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:07.720 for the first time ever a point two percent? Ohthough, isn't that 388 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.799 like the national average? And she couldn't even get that much Anyway is doing 389 00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.640 the directing, and Ross is just up there talking about all the ways he's 390 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:20.640 gonna kill Jane Way like it's Kenny from South Park. I don't know whether 391 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.720 it's gonna be good, but at least I know he's passionate. All right, 392 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:32.160 hang on, all right, Good morning everybody, and welcome. It 393 00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:39.519 is Thursday, getting back into the swing of things post holiday, all of 394 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.480 that good stuff. And it's been a little while since we've had a chance 395 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:49.480 to chat with instead. I'm sure I had the all the stuff up in 396 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:54.200 front of me with Stephen Kent here from bounding into Comics, and it's like 397 00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:59.640 I've told you, every every day we got some little nugget of Hollywood news, 398 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.960 and that's where we're gonna head. Steven, thanks for joining us this 399 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:07.200 morning. How was first off? How was traveling, you get to go 400 00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:09.800 over to Poland or something. What was up with that? I went over 401 00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:15.239 to Poland and brought back all kinds of Polish crud and in addition to a 402 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.679 stomach full of parogy. Apparently that's all they eat over there. Can't complaint 403 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.159 just perogy. I mean, if it's good parog beef, yeah, okay, 404 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:28.519 pArg with meat, parogy with vegetables, parogi. I have a have 405 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:30.880 a I have a little bit of a question. Well was it a impersonal 406 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:36.000 or was it a professional capacity? You we're over there, a professional capacity 407 00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.320 out there changing the world? Okay, all right? Well good because if 408 00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.679 it was just family vak, I wasn't going to pick your brain with it. 409 00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:47.719 I'm interested because Poland, up until the most recent election was it was 410 00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:54.280 kind of seen as one of those countries who didn't have a lot of like 411 00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:58.480 the Dei stuff didn't work there, do you know what I mean? That 412 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:02.840 was so they generally they were seen as is rejecting a lot of that. 413 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.639 And they're not alone from an Eastern Europe perspective, but they're not. They're 414 00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:13.920 Poland. And I'm just wondering, like with all of the stuff that you 415 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.519 write about in the different discussions and beefs that we have, like, can 416 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:21.559 you believe they change this all of that? How does that look through the 417 00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:28.920 eyes of a European audience, especially one that's probably more more inclined to reject 418 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.679 some of the stuff that woe Hollywood? Does you know? That's that's interesting. 419 00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:36.960 I mean, if we're talking about Poland, I mean, this is 420 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.360 a country and a part of the world that is still very much living in 421 00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:45.320 the middle of the twentieth century in terms of the things that they talk about, 422 00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:49.559 the history that they celebrate. You know, every day Polish people, 423 00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:53.840 in addition to chain smoking entire packs of cigarettes, are still talking about crushing 424 00:35:53.880 --> 00:36:00.000 the Soviets and beating out the fascists from before. To be care, they 425 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:06.599 were pretty thoroughly kicked in the teeth by those cats, so they absolutely were, 426 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.400 and they have a lot to celebrate. But you know, it is 427 00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:13.760 just a part of the world that does seem to be still living in previous 428 00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:15.880 generation. So I just don't think that they would buy that kind of stuff 429 00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:20.280 at all. I am surprised by the outcome of the Polish election, but 430 00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:23.039 I'm not an expert on it. All right, let's get into a few 431 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:28.639 things, and I want to start with this. I was just Ross and 432 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:31.880 I were talking about this because neither of us were alive when the first Star 433 00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:37.400 Wars came out, and nor were you. And to think that, in 434 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:43.639 my lifetime, and in Ross's lifetime and in your lifetime, that nobody thought 435 00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.920 of this right here, So the first woman and the first person of color 436 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:51.719 to direct a Star Wars film. It's set to be released in twenty twenty 437 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:54.760 six. You can say that the force is strong with this one. Here's 438 00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:00.360 Charmino beit Chenoid. You know, I'm very thrilled about the project because I 439 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:05.320 think what we are about to create is something very special. And we're in 440 00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:08.960 twenty twenty four now, and I think it's about time that we had a 441 00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:15.239 woman come forward to shape the story in a galaxy far far away. All 442 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:21.280 right, So since nineteen you know, late nineteen seventies, seventy seven or 443 00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:24.639 whatever, throughout the entirety of our lifetime, apparently nobody said, hey, 444 00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:29.000 what if we got a woman involved in the creative process on the Star Wars 445 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:32.559 franchise? So does this bring excitement for you? Is this is you know, 446 00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:37.159 this is your wheelhouse? Man? Yeah? I mean I just can't 447 00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:40.119 tell you the level of my excitement that we're finally going to have a woman 448 00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.639 shaping Star Wars. I didn't know that Kathleen Kennedy was a she her, 449 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:50.000 but apparently she is. And you know, then we've got in our background. 450 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:54.519 We've got Marcilla Lucas, who shaped behind George Lucas all of nineteen seventy 451 00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:59.800 seven, a New Hope Gosh, that leaves out Carrie Breck, Bryce, 452 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.119 Alice Howard. You got Jennifer Gretzner, who did the Ahsoka series and the 453 00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:09.519 Mandalorian. This is just such insulting garbage, not only to everybody who has 454 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:14.519 come through the Star Wars universe and done work on these movies and these shows, 455 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:20.760 but also to the audience. This leading with it's twenty twenty four kind 456 00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:24.960 of stuff is just your first signal that you're dealing with an NPC level creative 457 00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.320 who is coming to try and add to this universe. Where did they find 458 00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:35.559 this lady? Turns out the World Economic Forum. I don't know what they're 459 00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:39.079 doing, but this is probably Kathleen Kennedy's worst Cafayette. That's what you need 460 00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.559 to go next time you do a europe to. Don't go to Poland any 461 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:45.360 Parrogi's man, go to where the jets are. Have you seen some of 462 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.039 the food those cats have over at their little conference. Go to Switzerland when 463 00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:54.199 they do their thing there. Go to Davos. Man, I'm not polite 464 00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:58.480 enough company for that. Well, but I if you want to meet future 465 00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:01.679 Star Wars creative, that's apparently where they're hanging. Man. Well, here's 466 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.800 the this is this is this is where it lands for me. And I 467 00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:09.320 don't care whether it's this woman. I don't care whether it's a you know, 468 00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:15.960 a young black woman. I don't care what. I just want to 469 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:21.480 hear when a director is introduced for a franchise that I have interest, I 470 00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:23.559 want to hear them nerd out a little. Do you know what I'm saying 471 00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:29.880 right I I want the first thing on stage to be you know, them 472 00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:34.519 talking about some you know some why this is so exciting for them. They 473 00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:38.000 love it. I don't believe that the woman that they and you this is 474 00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:43.440 just me speculating. I don't believe for a moment she has consumed all Cannon 475 00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:47.480 Star Wars. I don't believe that she has no and she doesn't demonstrate it. 476 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:52.400 I agree with you completely over at Bounding into Comics dot com. I've 477 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:54.679 got my column up about this this week, and I really said about the 478 00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:59.719 same thing that you know, when you go out and start doing media on 479 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.320 your Star Wars movie, that you are incredibly lucky to be able to touch 480 00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.920 or direct. We want to hear a little bit about your passion for the 481 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:13.920 Lord, Jedi, smugglers, the Force inquisitors, bounty hunters, siff acolytes, 482 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:19.280 like tell us something about how Star Wars excited to you or has added 483 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.639 to your life, and what you are excited to bring to it. It's 484 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:29.559 really not that hard, but instead we get the snow White interview again. 485 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:32.719 Now, to be fair, she's also people are also quoting something she said. 486 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.920 But I want to make sure that we have a accurate date on this, 487 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.440 because I believe it was in twenty seventeen where she said she likes making 488 00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:45.440 men uncomfortable, right, and so that wasn't something she just said, but 489 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.480 it obviously is included in this. And so when I see that that's the 490 00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:52.760 attitude or what we saw with the you know, the snow White insanity, 491 00:40:54.400 --> 00:41:00.159 it's hard for me as a fan to get excited and it's understandable. I 492 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:04.440 think why people go to doom and gloom, even though, as you've pointed 493 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.320 out in one of our previous interviews, and Ross and I were talking about 494 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:12.079 on the air, you know, if you can't treat everything as doom and 495 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:15.079 gloom because there are some positive aspects. I want to get into some of 496 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:20.440 that with you, but it just kills the buzz man, It killed Like 497 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:22.960 you remember what I were talking about real quick? Do you remember they were 498 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:27.800 talking about, just for a moment, Quentin Tarantino doing a Star Trek right 499 00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:34.000 now? I don't that was there was? Was it Star Trek or Star 500 00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:36.719 Wars? Ross? Do you remember that? Yeah? No, Star Trek, 501 00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:37.960 And that's a big fan. I thought that would be awesome. Yeah. 502 00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:43.199 You know why? You know why because I bet Quentin Tarantino knows this 503 00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:46.039 stuff, right. He just strikes me as nerd enough to know this and 504 00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:50.480 obviously put his own twist on it. That's all I'm asking for. I 505 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:55.599 don't care your politics. Yeah, you know a boy a BOYDANOI I'm gonna 506 00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:59.639 butcher her name a little bit on accident here, but you know, she's 507 00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:05.719 accomplished documentary filmmaker. She has made a huge impact around the world, particularly 508 00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:09.480 in her home country of Pakistan, telling stories about women who are up against 509 00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:15.559 Islamism in that country, an incredible repassion honor killings and violence. And that 510 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:21.719 interview that she did in twenty fifteen, I think it actually was she was 511 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:24.519 on stage. Yeah, she was on same with John Stewart, and John 512 00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:30.159 Stewart was noting that the common thread throughout all of her movies is that men 513 00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:34.519 are a holes. And you know, she then goes on to say that 514 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:38.039 she likes to make men uncomfortable, that she enjoys it. And the thing 515 00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:43.239 about that interview that is probably the nuance thing to hold on to is that 516 00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:49.280 she's talking about her movies that are situated in the Middle East, you know 517 00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:53.320 where. Yeah, those people deserve it. Honestly, we're not. It 518 00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:58.280 seems like Rich fought like that. Seems like there's a lot of fodder there, 519 00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:04.119 right if you want to from a from a Pakistani woman's perspective, talk 520 00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:07.760 about I mean, I'm one hundred percent with you, but you know, 521 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:12.719 that's not how we roll now. And so I see people associating it with 522 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.719 the interview the other day, and that's not was not included all right, 523 00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:21.360 well, with that in mind, and with that, with that caveat, 524 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.960 where do you predict this is going I mean you well, I predict it's 525 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:32.960 going to to lead to just incredible chaos and a further decline of Disney's holdings 526 00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.519 over some of these legacy ips like Star Wars and you know, Indiana Jones 527 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:44.719 and Marvel Like there's just going to be a continued downslide. The Marvels from 528 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:49.679 you know, Marvel Studios was just an absolute catastrophe of a movie. Indiana 529 00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:54.280 Jones ended on its just absolute most dud moment with the Dial of Destiny, 530 00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:58.239 not the worst movie in the world, but a movie that still was ill 531 00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:04.519 conceived and blew a hunt undred million dollars into the Abyss and Star Wars, 532 00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:08.639 which every one of its theatrical releases made less than the one that came before 533 00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:13.679 it. Now we are still talking about movies that make billions of dollars, 534 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:15.880 right, and then people call that a marker of success. But when it 535 00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:22.639 is constantly getting smaller that pie that is not good. And Ray is a 536 00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:29.039 not one of the most exciting or beloved characters across multiple generations to make a 537 00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:34.400 new movie on and this director just seems to be an arsonist. I do 538 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.360 respect the background that she's come from and the work that she's done, but 539 00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:42.440 she has not given any indication that Star Wars is something that she cares about, 540 00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.840 or Star Wars fans or people that she wants to make a great movie 541 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.719 for. All Right, So sometimes I think stuff's pretty straightforward. So you 542 00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:54.079 know, I'm sitting here looking at this and I'm not hopeful and for a 543 00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:58.960 lot of the reasons that you just expounded upon, right, you can see 544 00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.039 it in the returns. By the way, I watched right as we were 545 00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:06.400 off on vacation. I did watch Indiana Jones because it finally came to the 546 00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:12.400 streaming, and I look, I was even able to be kind of entertained 547 00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.719 by Crystal skulls uh, you know it, because yeah, makes Indiana Jones. 548 00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:20.599 Right, it's still Indiana Jones. And we saw something new and and 549 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.920 you just kind of but this. I had a hard time just forcing myself. 550 00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:27.840 I kept having to rewind it back because I'd get up and do something 551 00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:30.159 and if you'd have told me I would do that with an Indiana Jones movie, 552 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:34.480 give me a break. My problem with that movie. The problem with 553 00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:37.079 that movie. My opinion was like the first thirty minutes was like old cgi 554 00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:40.280 Harrison Ford, and to me, that stuff is weird, right, yes, 555 00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:45.159 yeah, yeah, but you got to go all natural for this kind 556 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:47.480 of stuff. But I kid you not. I liked this movie in theaters 557 00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:50.400 like I was. I was kind of into it. You know, you're 558 00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:52.199 in you're in the groove, you're in the dark, you're watching Indiana Jones, 559 00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.119 and I was feeling it. But then I rewatched this movie on an 560 00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.960 airplane on the way to Poland, uh, and I found myself sneaking glances 561 00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:05.840 over at the person next to me who was watching The Notebook because it was 562 00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:12.360 slightly more interesting. You know, I just I was bored. And I've 563 00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:16.480 never I've never experienced that with an Indiana Jones movie where I'm eager to look 564 00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:22.320 away and watch Ryan Gosling return to his love in the Notebook like I was. 565 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.519 That was just kind of a weird experience where I had to admit something 566 00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:31.000 was wrong with this movie. I've never seen that movie. You're miss you're 567 00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:35.719 missing out, You're missing out. I'm sure that's exactly it. So and 568 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.599 then let me me run somebody and we're chatting with Stephen Ken from mounting into 569 00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:44.960 comics, where I just have about three and a half minutes. I feel 570 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:49.960 that there's this middle ground of Hollywood too, and that is creative folks who 571 00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:53.039 are who will put content together, be a TV show or movie or whatever. 572 00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:59.480 And the only thing that's really that woke about it is the way that 573 00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:04.039 they on it, like like that's that's their badge. But then you go 574 00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.639 look at the content. Case in point, we're talking about the Percy Jackson 575 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:13.480 Show which is on Disney now and this whole Medusa. By the way, 576 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:17.480 if there's ever been somebody who has been more effective at fighting the patriarchy, 577 00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:21.960 I feel like Medusa's on that list. Man. I feel like she has 578 00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:24.760 she's us a special, special way to go about it. So when I 579 00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:32.280 when I hear this Rick Rordan talking about Medusa's character and the bandwidth for Dree 580 00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:37.440 deconstructing the patriarchy and all of this insanity, and I hadn't watched it, 581 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:42.360 but Ross said, like it doesn't come across when you're actually watching the show. 582 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.679 So it's like, yeah, go around lip service, man. Yeah, 583 00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:50.400 And that's a thing that creatives in Hollywood. Do they do this to 584 00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:53.199 pat each other on the back do interviews and get accolades and good coverage, 585 00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:57.800 but just to really quickly kind of dive into the Percy Jackson thing. Yeah, 586 00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:01.239 Medusa is the subject of one of the most recent episodes, and they've 587 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:06.199 been talking about this the reordience, both Rick and his wife, and talking 588 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:12.880 about how the book didn't really handle or dive into sort of the victimhood of 589 00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:17.880 Medusa. Medusa in Greek myth, was turned into this monster by the goddess 590 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:27.960 Athena because Poseidon sexually assaulted her in Athena's shrine, and so Athena punished the 591 00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:32.800 woman for this and turned her into this snake monster who devours men for the 592 00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:37.119 centuries to come. And this is sprained by them as sort of like a 593 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:42.400 patriarchal story. I think it actually says more about what women do to one 594 00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:47.480 another when they don't like each other. But that's just me. Yeah, 595 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:51.719 I think that's the real story. But you know, it's a good show. 596 00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:54.639 I actually do recommend people watch this and consider checking out the new Percy 597 00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:58.519 Jackson series. Your kids love it. They call it the new Harry Potter. 598 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:02.639 I'm told it's a it's a neat thing to see kids enjoying Greek myths 599 00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:07.840 and diving into some of those nuances. Also, don't let your kids fangirl 600 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.719 gods, you know, like you know this, it's kind of like dating 601 00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:16.719 a cartel member. It's it's probably exciting, but it could end horribly real 602 00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:21.320 quick in this case with it Hagen nonsense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 603 00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:25.159 all right, we got links. We'll tweet them out to the article's reference 604 00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:30.320 there. Abounding into comic Stephen Kent, appreciate it, and we'll chat hopefully 605 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:35.679 at our normal time coming up next week. Okay, yes, yes, 606 00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:38.239 yes, all right, look at that. So at nine topics and then 607 00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:42.000 we got to two. But that's how we roll, all right, It 608 00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.280 is a seven twenty three. Yeah, Lots to get into in the final 609 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:58.159 back half of the show, including Lieutenant Governor coming up is one O six 610 00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:01.800 one FM, Talk in the Triangle and Near's Talk ninety four to five PTI 611 00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:10.320 and the Triad. Allrighty, good morning, and welcome back at is seven 612 00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:17.559 thirty five here on the CaCO Day Radio program. So thank you to Stephen 613 00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:22.320 Kent for joining us from mounting into comics. You've got links to what we 614 00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:28.360 were discussing there and again I haven't seen the Percy Jackson thing. Obviously, 615 00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:31.880 Stephen had Ross's watched it. You've watched all the episodes that are out already. 616 00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:37.599 I saw it on there. I haven't watched it because you know how 617 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:42.280 I roll. I'm like, once there's a series that has all the episodes 618 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:45.840 up, I might dip in, but I refuse to do the check back 619 00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.519 every week thing until it's ready. Yeah. What he mentioned too, it 620 00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:51.400 is a good point about how it's like, you know, it's meant for 621 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:52.920 a younger audience, like you're like a Harry Potter. I saw that it 622 00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:57.079 was PG, that it was PG on the TV. I happen to glance 623 00:50:57.119 --> 00:51:00.000 at that. It's just to get a vibe for it. So yeah, 624 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.320 yeah, but it's good, right, I mean I've I've enjoyed it so 625 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:06.199 far. Yeah, oh good, Okay, all right, Although the Medusa 626 00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:08.840 thing, you were asking some questions, it sounds like they stick to pretty 627 00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:15.679 much a lot of the cannon surrounding Medusa. Well, right, the important 628 00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:17.440 part of the series I think is like the actual mythology, right, So 629 00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:22.039 I imagine they're trying to stick by that as much as possible, you think, 630 00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:27.159 so anyway, Well, yeah, but you were asking with Medusa, 631 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.440 like, after you cut Medusa's head off, can you use it? The 632 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:35.039 answer is yes, and that is part of the mythology there, Like the 633 00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:43.239 whole reason of going and killing Medusa was so her head could be utilized to 634 00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:49.480 defeat a monster. So I wouldn't trust myself with the responsibility, man, 635 00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.599 like, like I know me, Like, I can't imagine having that thing 636 00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:57.159 around, and you know, you're not supposed to look, right, It's 637 00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.079 like, you know, and if it's like made invisible or whatever, you 638 00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:04.639 can't even see the head right in the act. They have it invisible in 639 00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:07.280 the thing. Yeah, because it's Disney, so they're not going to actually 640 00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:09.599 show like a decapitation and blood and stuff, right because it's for kids. 641 00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:14.119 So well, I've seen it, and I've seen it in movies where they 642 00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:20.880 where the head has been it's been literally presented as though it's kind of turned 643 00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:22.880 to stone, so it doesn't look gory, but it still has the effects. 644 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.519 But you know, yeah, that'd be a very powerful tool. Didn't 645 00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:30.639 they just have it? Didn't they just have some commercial out where Medusa's like 646 00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:34.840 at a club and some dudes like gawking at her. Right, it's the 647 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:39.119 whole creepy, you know, patriarchy thing, and she like dips her sunglasses 648 00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:43.920 and then just turns some random dude to the bar into stone, just murders 649 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:46.719 him. Like that was a commercial that they were running on TV here not 650 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:52.360 long ago. So but like I give you an example of why I wouldn't 651 00:52:52.360 --> 00:52:55.559 trust myself with the head. So over the weekend, I was making some 652 00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:00.599 some of these spicy Mexican beans and said, I like to make right did? 653 00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:04.280 I make a big batch of them? And they're just great. Basically 654 00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:09.199 you just take black beans and a clove of garlic, an onion, and 655 00:53:09.440 --> 00:53:14.360 a jalapeno or however many you want in there. Boom, throw them in 656 00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:16.519 there and just let that, you know, basically simmer for about two hours. 657 00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:21.639 In boom, You're done, and it's delicious. But I know me, 658 00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:27.840 and I know that no matter how many times I tell myself, Casey, 659 00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:32.360 you're cutting up a jalapeno or you're cutting up a serrano, and like, 660 00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:37.079 don't put your don't put your hand anywhere near your face, what do 661 00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:43.199 you think inevitably happens at some point during that exercise, I just, for 662 00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:45.280 a split second, I forget, I just like, all wipe my eye 663 00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.440 and then I'm running around my house like a psychopath. Right, so you 664 00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.159 can see yourself just walking around Meduce's head and being like, wait, what 665 00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:53.719 do I have my hand to go my gott in stone. No, Like 666 00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:58.760 some buddies come over right where, you know, we're a few bourbons in. 667 00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:00.960 They're like, oh my god, I show this thing. I got. 668 00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:06.400 What's that on your coffee table? Bro Let me take Oh no, 669 00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:10.480 I need new friends. Oh yeah, that sucks. Yeah. So you 670 00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:15.880 know that's there is that inherent risk with it. So uh do with do 671 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:22.800 with that what you will? Speaking of risk, Uh, I'm not saying 672 00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:27.920 you guys had anything to do with it, but man, the Dolphins having 673 00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:31.960 a tough go of it, obviously racked with injuries, although well represented in 674 00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:36.639 the in the uh the Pro Bowl voting. I did see that. So 675 00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:43.760 although racked with injuries and just a few few issues, there's you know, 676 00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:49.199 it's still an immensely talented team, which is what's given Ross fits probably for 677 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:53.639 this week's game. That being said, the Dolphins, by the game being 678 00:54:53.760 --> 00:55:00.760 moved to the evening, have openly expressed their disappointment because the stadium. If 679 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:06.559 you've ever been to the hard Rock Stadium. There during the day, half 680 00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:12.039 of the field or half of the sideline is just baking in sun, and 681 00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:16.639 inevitably that's the visitor side. So the Dolphins love day games because they can 682 00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:22.599 be over on the shady side. Meanwhile, across the field it's twenty degrees 683 00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:25.199 warmer for their opponents, right, and they were literally they were like complaining 684 00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:30.119 they didn't get that advantage. Well, now, the couple that with Tyreek 685 00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:37.039 Hill, obviously one of their two extremely talented wide receivers, whose house just 686 00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:43.719 burned down. Yeah, footage showed smoke pouring out of the ninety three hundred 687 00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:49.280 square foot mansion as firefighters battle the blaze. He spokesman for the Dolphins said 688 00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:52.599 that Hill left practice after the fire broke out. Everyone was that was in 689 00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:55.800 the home at the time is safe. So thankfully we have that. But 690 00:55:57.280 --> 00:56:00.280 doesn't he have like three kids on the way this week or something? I 691 00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:05.320 was reading Now he's getting up to like Nick Cannon status. Yeah, oh 692 00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:08.280 yeah, but it's like he has a whole cluster right now that are either 693 00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:10.800 pregnant or getting ready to give birth. I can't remember what it said, 694 00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:16.119 Like this dude needs a house so hopefully it gets that remedied. But Boston 695 00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:21.679 Paul's accused you guys of doing it because that's all he's got. So I 696 00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:24.079 mean, it's gonna probably be a distraction during the game, you would think. 697 00:56:24.119 --> 00:56:27.599 But I mean he's rich as all hell, so I mean, luckily 698 00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:30.000 nobody was harmed and he can buy a new house, right, I don't 699 00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:34.559 know how much damage was done. Yeah, well, I'm you know, 700 00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:39.679 I'm hoping he probably has insurance hold on children. I gotta remember, I 701 00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:43.440 gotta find out what this stat was because I was blown away. I feel 702 00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:50.400 like this would be a distraction. I mean, do this so fast though. 703 00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:52.880 It's like I think, like everybody's talking about the quarterbacks. Obviously, 704 00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:55.039 I would like Josh Allen to be MVP. But Tyreek killing McCaffrey, right, 705 00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:59.400 they should be like two big candidates for MVP, I would think, 706 00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:02.119 because he take Tyreek Hill out of that offense and it's completely different. Oh 707 00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:07.079 the three I said four. He had three babies. Just had three babies, 708 00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:12.480 three different women, three kids, all delivered here at the end of 709 00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:16.840 last year. So I don't know, man, I feel like that might 710 00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:20.480 be a little bit of a distraction. Plus he's got a bucket of kids 711 00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:24.840 other than that, which you know whatever. Like Ross pointed out, I 712 00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:29.199 don't know that you're gonna get Nick Cannon status. He had some catching up 713 00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:34.519 to do. But yeah, between that and the house burning down, probably 714 00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:37.280 probably gonna be on his mind or or it's one of these guys where he 715 00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:40.880 gets motivated. I'll tell you what's creepy. Is each one of the three 716 00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:51.000 different baby mamas. It did like very similar Instagram videos. It's because they're 717 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:57.719 all in this article here holding the little Tyreek Hill jersey and dancing around with 718 00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:00.360 their pregnant stomachs. This is from obviously last year when they were still pregnant. 719 00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:07.400 I think he married one of these women too. So well, anyway, 720 00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:12.159 and again now his house burns down, so there is there is that, 721 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:16.480 all right? Seven forty three Casey O Day radio program Ray Stagic from 722 00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:21.960 the Weather Channel was talking about Tyreek Hillman. Yeah, so have three different 723 00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:27.320 kids. At the last year, you had three different moms to the kids, 724 00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:30.679 two of which are suing the one of which he married. So now 725 00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:35.039 his house burns down, you got a little distraction. Maybe, I don't 726 00:58:35.079 --> 00:58:38.280 know, well, I don't know. It's like sometimes when you have the 727 00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:46.480 means to I don't know exactly right, and you're millions of dollars worth of 728 00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:52.880 potential chance still caravan, I don't know. I saw some people online comparing 729 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:55.280 it to who was it was Andre Risen's house from didn't it's like white burned 730 00:58:55.280 --> 00:59:00.960 down his house, the chick from TLC. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 731 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:02.519 I think the chick for TLC. Yeah yeah, I think it was just 732 00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.920 like, yeah, burned his house, and people like maybe, like you 733 00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:07.480 know, one of Tyreek Hill's baby Mama's got pissed off and they're like, 734 00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:12.320 yeah, you can burn your house down. Well he's getting sued by two 735 00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:15.960 of the three. So I don't know, man, but yeah, there 736 00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:19.800 you go. Luckily, you guys don't have any of these issues arise in 737 00:59:19.920 --> 00:59:23.239 Dallas. We don't have that. One time one of your players, I 738 00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:27.800 hired a security guy to follow him around so we didn't do stupid stuff and 739 00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:30.039 then he beat the crap out of the security guy. But other than that, 740 00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:32.400 yeah, other than that, I mean really nothing to my favorite worries. 741 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:38.519 Yeah, exactly. Speaking of football, impactful event Northeast New England gonna 742 00:59:38.519 --> 00:59:43.440 affect our weather here over the weekend Pittsburgh at Baltimore. If you're a fan 743 00:59:43.840 --> 00:59:47.360 a just gonna watch four thirty kickoffs. Gonna be some rain in Baltimore, 744 00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:51.239 looks like, so that could get a little messy on Saturday, and then 745 00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:52.920 Sunday in New England is going to be interesting with the Jets, not the 746 00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:57.360 game, the Jets of the Patriots, but could be quite a bit of 747 00:59:57.400 --> 01:00:00.079 snow. We'll see if he gets in and out on time, but it 748 01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:02.280 does look like there's a potential there. It should be fun if you want 749 01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:06.559 to see heavy snow. There's potential for some heavy snow there. So here 750 01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:09.280 we're going to get the wet side of that for the most part as we 751 01:00:09.320 --> 01:00:13.400 get into early Saturday morning and during the day. Saturday, so beautiful today 752 01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:19.159 and tomorrow, maybe a little cloud probably between forty six and fifty two for 753 01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:22.800 the daytime high. Its closer to fifty today and then mid nupper forties tomorrow, 754 01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:24.840 and then it's early Saturday morning we'll start to see some rain. Command 755 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:29.440 could begin as some freezing rain just before sunrise, and that's for everybody. 756 01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:32.599 So we'll be near thirty degrees, so there could be a light icing in 757 01:00:32.679 --> 01:00:37.360 some spots. But the bigger problems are going to be tried into the mountains 758 01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:38.559 where there could be a couple of tenths of an inch of ice and that 759 01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:43.199 could cause some roadway problems. I don't know about power outages if it's going 760 01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:46.239 to get that heavy, but I would be prepared just in case. And 761 01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:50.840 then mainly rain as we go through late Saturday and into Saturday afternoon and we 762 01:00:50.920 --> 01:00:53.119 all get up into the forties close to fifty degrees and Sunday, Sunday, 763 01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:57.199 Monday, and then a bigger storm coming in for Tuesday Wednesday of next week. 764 01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:00.760 That's more of a rain and heavy rain and thunderstorm threat. So we'll 765 01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:04.280 worry about that next week. But it's early Saturday morning. I travel with 766 01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:07.320 a little bit of caution if you are traveling, especially west and southwest and 767 01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:10.079 into the mountains, better chances some ice and snow. Some of those back 768 01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:14.000 roads could get a little bit slick. Uh. What did you got, 769 01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:16.280 Dallas? I think you guys tied for most players on Pro Bowl right. 770 01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:22.840 Yeah, they see they're trying to get to the Jets release. They were 771 01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:25.400 trying to pick up does it Dalvin cook Man, Dalvin cook Yeah, they're 772 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:29.239 trying to pick him up because honestly, I think I said this when they 773 01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:31.239 signed Pollard, I didn't think he was going to live up to expectations, 774 01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:36.920 and he hasn't. They look, Pollard looked really good by committee, you 775 01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:40.199 know. So yeah, and that's how out I'm I'm upset, man, 776 01:01:40.239 --> 01:01:44.519 I'm upset we got rid of Dalvin Cook. I think obviously the Jets they 777 01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:46.840 didn't know what to do with the guy. And I think it's pretty I'm 778 01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:51.079 going to you, guys, shouldn't you guys shouldn't be allowed to have him. 779 01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:53.320 That's all that I'm saying, you know, meaning you don't want us 780 01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:58.599 to have him? That's correct, Yes, gotcha? So but any who, 781 01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.960 Yeah, oh, Dak didn't Dak made it in the quarterback section, 782 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:06.800 did he? I didn't even see the bro. I didn't come on the 783 01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:10.519 Pro Bowl. Come on, listen me and Dak. I don't know what 784 01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:15.159 not that. I'm just saying, all right, he's not the m v 785 01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:17.360 P. And honestly, I don't want to get into this discussion, but 786 01:02:19.039 --> 01:02:22.039 I don't. I don't know what the m v P discuss I don't think 787 01:02:23.239 --> 01:02:27.559 shoot Baltimore, Baltimore, Baltimore, Jackson. I don't think he's the m 788 01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:30.880 v P. Lamar Jackson makes no sense because he's been carried by his defense. 789 01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:36.519 Yep. You look at his like his touchdown totals compared to Yeah, 790 01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:38.360 it makes no sense. Yeah, well Dak has better. If anybody else 791 01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:40.440 had better stats, you can think of us. Well, I'm not a 792 01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:44.400 stats guy. I just happened to know that you're gonna ask me. I 793 01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:45.840 got off the top of my head. I can come up with somebody in 794 01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:50.719 a few categories been to Lamar. But you know, yeah, yeah, 795 01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:52.559 I do. Look at that. He's encyclopedia. All right, thanks, 796 01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:58.199 we'll Chad in hour, Sir, they go raced agic from the Weather Channel. 797 01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:01.679 Reminder, Lieutenant Governor, he'll be joining us in the eight o'clock hour. 798 01:03:01.719 --> 01:03:07.079 We had to move them from yesterday. I got some dog news for 799 01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:12.679 you dog breeders out there. I have a suggestion, and I think my 800 01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:16.000 logic is sound, So we'll get that. And does the State of North 801 01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:21.719 Carolina need more license plate cameras? The company that sells them thinks that we 802 01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:28.280 do, but apparently most citizens think we do not. I'll explain what's brewing 803 01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:32.480 with that coming up. KCO Day Radio program Smart Talk all day ninety four 804 01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:38.079 to five w PTI in the Triad and six one FM Talk in the Triangle. 805 01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:45.480 All right, I saw this story and I saw I had to read 806 01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:50.599 two different versions of this, and I'm still not understanding what's going on. 807 01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:57.280 So there's headlines. Thirteen year old kid has become the first person to ever 808 01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:06.519 beat Tetris on the NES. I'm almost positive I beat well, I'm not 809 01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:11.360 almost positive. I know I beat Tetris right yet, because they have the 810 01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:15.039 little you know, they have the little hey you win screen. I no. 811 01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:16.719 I saw the story and I thought it was like a Mendela effect or 812 01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:18.639 something. I'm like, I know, I beat that as a kid, 813 01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:21.679 Like I got to a certain point and there was a cut scene and as 814 01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.079 a kid, I thought because it's like that Russian. As a kid, 815 01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:29.199 I thought it was the Kremlin, the domey colorful building from Russia, you 816 01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:30.679 know, and like the fireworks. As a kid, I thought that was 817 01:04:31.559 --> 01:04:33.800 it's called the Onion Dome, right, But I'm like, all right, 818 01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:36.000 there's the Kremlin, you know, and I'm like a little kid, and 819 01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:41.719 there's fireworks, and that was it. But apparently there's different. So there's 820 01:04:42.159 --> 01:04:46.039 version a like type A and Type Beard's Type one or two and even get 821 01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:49.320 certain scores. They show you that cut scene and there's credits, right right, 822 01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:51.360 yeah, and I thought that was the end of the game, but 823 01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:56.519 they're saying that the actual end of the game is a kill screen. It 824 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.880 goes so fast and then it turns black and the game's sort of like reboots, 825 01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:03.679 and that's the actual ending. I had no idea. So you you 826 01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:08.039 saw that cut scene too, because there's three different ones. Okay, I 827 01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:12.679 had no idea. I just remember, I remember, and I remember that 828 01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:17.119 I was excited, and I at least one of my siblings and probably my 829 01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:21.119 mom and I remember probably they didn't care, but I was excited, so 830 01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:26.400 that same, but they would be the only ones you can testify, because 831 01:05:26.519 --> 01:05:30.280 nowadays, you know, if you want to show somebody an accomplishment in the 832 01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:32.519 game, you know you're pretty easy to get the video. Yeah back then, 833 01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:35.199 right, yeah, it was my mom and my best friend Phil the 834 01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:39.000 only people that would be able to testify to that, and I was super 835 01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:41.840 proud of it. But then in the company behind Tetrist, I don't know 836 01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:44.519 if it's Nintendo or or the company that made it, they're like, this 837 01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:47.199 is the first ever kill screen. Well, yeah, maybe in the modern 838 01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:50.000 age that you know of, because everything's on hard drive and if you're playing 839 01:05:50.039 --> 01:05:53.320 the switch, they gather all that data. They can tell you how long 840 01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.719 people play, how many people get certain achievements with the highest score is. 841 01:05:56.719 --> 01:05:58.360 They have all that data. But back in the day it was on a 842 01:05:58.440 --> 01:06:02.360 cartridge on your there'd be no way to know unless you were like some real 843 01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:06.639 crazy like Billy Mitchell from King of Kong who's recording it on a camcorder and 844 01:06:06.679 --> 01:06:10.320 sending it in to get the record and then you end up being a cheater. 845 01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:12.360 But whatever, Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's there's that too. 846 01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:15.159 Well no, because as you described the kill screen, I would think the 847 01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:18.360 game just broke right right now that Donkey Kong is the same way they can 848 01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:21.039 said the end of Donkey Kong is a kill screen. I'd just be oh, 849 01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:24.760 the game screwed up, and which you know, back in the cartridge 850 01:06:24.840 --> 01:06:27.480 day was nothing new. What do you do you got a problem, pull 851 01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:31.039 it out, blow into it obviously, and try again later. But now 852 01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:34.719 I didn't realize that, Like, if you, yeah, you want to 853 01:06:34.719 --> 01:06:39.599 impress me, show me the thirteen year old that beat Ninja guiyd In Oh 854 01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:42.679 Ninja Guyden too. Oh yeah, yeah, even harder. Remember that I 855 01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:45.599 was getting to the end of that game and you couldn't save, so you 856 01:06:45.679 --> 01:06:47.599 had to keep the console on the entire time, and we would go to 857 01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:51.920 the we would go camping to touch it. We would all go camping on 858 01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:55.079 the weekend. And I came back and I played that game, and I 859 01:06:55.159 --> 01:06:57.840 got to the end of Ninja Guiden two, and that game was an a 860 01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:00.400 hole because that was the first time I ever got out the end boss. 861 01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:03.159 You think you beat it, there were three bosses, so then at a 862 01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:06.159 second phase and a third phase and you die since you way back to the 863 01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:12.480 beginning because you couldn't save. It crushes theidet beat that game. If you 864 01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.679 should have saved some some life. The loser, I had no, I 865 01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:19.480 had no idea. I never even had to know what the boss count was 866 01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:23.480 because I never got there. That was one of those games I had to 867 01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:29.559 like physically remove from my presence because I found it frustrating anymore that in the 868 01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:33.199 original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this is swimming with the bombs. Yeah, 869 01:07:33.559 --> 01:07:38.840 yeah, there were a few contra wasn't easy. I think it's some other 870 01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:42.679 game, but no, uh, Ninja guid In two. Uh. I 871 01:07:42.719 --> 01:07:47.599 don't know if somebody's ranked like difficulty of video games, but I don't know 872 01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:50.119 what else would be up there. Is there a modern day game that's just 873 01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:57.400 considered that difficult that I'm missing? I don't think so. Dark Souls, 874 01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:01.480 right, Our Souls considered one of the hardest games. Doesn't your kids speed 875 01:08:01.559 --> 01:08:04.480 run that like three minutes? He sure does. That's why I could never 876 01:08:04.519 --> 01:08:11.719 attempt it, just be embarrassing, just because I like my nightmare would be 877 01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:15.440 He's sitting in the room too, right, and I can just see the 878 01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:23.800 disappointment of his uncle Casey sucked. Yeah, yeah, I'm just admitted I 879 01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:32.039 would. All right, Good morning everybody, and a welcome and happy Thursday 880 01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:36.600 to you. It is eight o seven. Glad to have you along here 881 01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:42.640 on the cac O Day Radio program. It has uh, it's been a 882 01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:47.680 little while with the vacation and some scheduling stuff since we chatted with the Lieutenant 883 01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:53.079 Governor yes yesterday. We had to move him to today, but we're gonna 884 01:08:53.119 --> 01:08:55.800 do this thing and Mark. Good morning to you, sir. How you 885 01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:59.720 doing, Hey, Kathy, how are you doing? I'm pretty good? 886 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:02.840 And since it has been a while, lord knows, the laundry list of 887 01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:06.439 things I want to talk to you about has has built up. But I 888 01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:13.199 got to start here and and let me, let me, let me put 889 01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:16.359 this, let me put this somewhat self from a self deprecation standpoint, but 890 01:09:16.479 --> 01:09:21.880 lightly if you and I were members of the Donner Party, we wouldn't starve 891 01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:26.039 to death. First, do you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, 892 01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:30.359 okay, all right, so uh at kudos. I know you're doing 893 01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:32.880 the gym thing, but let's say, look, we deal in honesty here 894 01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:38.000 on the show. And I know then that if I want to take myself, 895 01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:41.680 or if it was you and I want to go to a theater and 896 01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:45.239 get a high top barstool and put it in literally in front of other patrons, 897 01:09:46.279 --> 01:09:50.239 I'm probably going to get talked to by staff at the at the theater. 898 01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:56.239 Yet, for some reason, uh, the former NAACP head, the 899 01:09:56.319 --> 01:10:03.520 Reverend William Barber U, he feels it's it's it's akin to you know, 900 01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:10.359 a sixty zero civil rights struggle, and the media just laps this stuff up. 901 01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:14.239 But I don't know, what's what's your take on all this insanity? 902 01:10:14.319 --> 01:10:17.079 I'm sure you saw this story over the break I did. It's just another 903 01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:21.159 attempt just to continue to be an eternal victim, to try to break the 904 01:10:21.279 --> 01:10:26.840 law. It's not about being equal. It's about being special always. It's 905 01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:30.199 about making up your own rules. It's about not following along with with with 906 01:10:30.760 --> 01:10:35.439 with any type of social moras. It's just about I'm gonna do exactly what 907 01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:38.720 I want to do, and if you don't let me do it, I'm 908 01:10:38.760 --> 01:10:41.560 gonna claim to be a victim, and I'm gonna suit the pants off of 909 01:10:41.640 --> 01:10:45.560 you, because this is all about me being special. This is not about 910 01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:49.239 me doing the right thing. This guy doesn't have a single solitary leg to 911 01:10:49.319 --> 01:10:55.880 stand on when it comes this that theater provides handicapped seating, it makes exceptions 912 01:10:55.920 --> 01:11:02.439 for folks, it gives you every opportunity and makes uh provide every opportunity to 913 01:11:02.600 --> 01:11:06.680 provide it by the law. And he just wants to be special and just 914 01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:12.000 wants to get attention and just wants to cry victim of status all the time. 915 01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:15.039 It's completely ridiculous. Of course, the media is going to go along 916 01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:17.159 with it, because, as you've seen, most of our news media right 917 01:11:17.239 --> 01:11:23.319 now is totally complicit in this bousness. Yeah, well, it's just it's 918 01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:29.079 just a failure to process something so so simple, like as like I think 919 01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:31.239 if you removed who it was and you just showed somebody a picture of a 920 01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:34.840 high top stool in front of low top seating with people behind there, they 921 01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:40.800 go, maybe that's not a quote reasonable accommodation. And the problem is that 922 01:11:41.079 --> 01:11:45.279 you and I both know how the conversation played out. Some staff member who 923 01:11:45.439 --> 01:11:48.600 doesn't want to be dealing with this, right they just is a you know, 924 01:11:48.760 --> 01:11:53.760 there's a minimum wage job for them, or they're thereabouts, goes in 925 01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:59.319 there. And I suspect that if somebody escalated it, based on what I've 926 01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:03.199 seen with that video where Barber was on the plane and others, that he 927 01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:08.479 was the one who escalated this. And the following out then is any of 928 01:12:08.520 --> 01:12:12.600 the staff there, but also the police officer who when they show up to 929 01:12:12.680 --> 01:12:16.239 do a trespass, they don't care why you're getting trespassed. If it is 930 01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:19.680 illegal, the courts will remedy that, but police are just there to do 931 01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:25.600 paperwork and leave. And yet now those officers and those staff members are the 932 01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:29.920 object of iire to some of Barber's supporters and I don't know what they wanted 933 01:12:29.960 --> 01:12:33.680 them to do. Well, again case, it's not what they want them 934 01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:35.600 to do. They want them to do what they want them to do. 935 01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:40.239 Now after Shee was on the other foot, he was a theater owner and 936 01:12:40.399 --> 01:12:43.279 he was calling the police on someone who was breaking the rooms. He would 937 01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:45.840 want the police to follow the wools, and he would be demonstrative in them 938 01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:49.720 wanting to follow the rules. So again, it's not about it's not about 939 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:56.319 anything except getting their way. I want to get my way. I don't 940 01:12:56.399 --> 01:12:59.399 care what the rules are. I'm going to break the wooms because this is 941 01:12:59.439 --> 01:13:03.199 not about equality. This is about me being special. It's about me being 942 01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:06.840 a victim. It's about me being able to sue the past all of you 943 01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:13.439 because I'm special and a victim. Total movesy and greed is what it really 944 01:13:13.479 --> 01:13:17.520 boils down to. Well it is. It is beyond frustrating when when you 945 01:13:17.680 --> 01:13:21.640 sit there and you see the same canard work over and over and it's just 946 01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:26.560 and it's just so logical in one's mind. And and by the way, 947 01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:30.439 let me say this, uh Mark, and I'm I am I'm having any 948 01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:34.640 guess because I don't know who is he obstructing to this is the other thing. 949 01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:39.800 So if he's obstructing patrons who are watching the movie and it's a showing 950 01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:45.399 of the color purple, I guess, horrible. Racist me just assumes that 951 01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:50.039 there's a higher likelihood that the people he's obstructing are people of color. Absolutely 952 01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:57.000 Again, another reason why points to him not caring about the rooms. I 953 01:13:57.119 --> 01:14:00.079 don't care, but he does not care about the rooms, about getting his 954 01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:06.199 way, about making his point about ultimately, ultimately about making our case, 955 01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:12.520 and the case is going to boil down to money extortion. That's why, 956 01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:16.399 Casey, it is so important for us to have leaders in positions or not 957 01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:24.439 leaders, but representatives and positions of authority, governors, lieutenant governors, mayors 958 01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:29.199 who stand up firmly against this. Because when folks stand up against it, 959 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:31.800 when those folks that are there on the news, who have those microphones, 960 01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:35.039 who have those seats, when they stand up and say this is not right 961 01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:40.239 and we're not gonna stand by those people who oftentimes will be silent, that 962 01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:44.319 majority who are solid because everybody a lot of other people are going along with 963 01:14:44.439 --> 01:14:46.560 it, they'll stand up and say, you know what, that's absolutely right. 964 01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:49.159 We're not going to stand up for this, And I believe that's how 965 01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:53.239 you stand up against it. You stand up against it by having people at 966 01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:57.800 the very beginning, those people in those positions are so called authority who stand 967 01:14:57.880 --> 01:15:00.359 up to say we're something not gonna put up with this. Judges, lawyers, 968 01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:04.880 polis who stand up. Finally getting those political leaders, those folks about 969 01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:09.000 stand up and meet their voices heard and say we're not gonna stand by this 970 01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:13.640 type of foostles. Well, let's let's talk about people thinking they can do 971 01:15:13.720 --> 01:15:17.079 whatever they want. There's different versions of this. There is Barber getting to 972 01:15:17.159 --> 01:15:23.680 have his Karen moment there in the theater. But there's also something that I 973 01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:29.960 think sadly factors into this tragic story in Greensboro where a Greensboro police officer was 974 01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:35.279 killed, Sergeant Philip Nicks Dale Nicks. Sergeant Dale Nicks, who was not 975 01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:41.840 on duty, who had spent you know, most of his adult life serving 976 01:15:42.439 --> 01:15:45.880 the community of Greensboro in a variety of capacities, who just happened to be 977 01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:49.600 at his favorite sheets, sitting out on the bench as people do, and 978 01:15:50.039 --> 01:15:56.640 he sees he sees these three individuals parking a handicap obviously as close to the 979 01:15:56.720 --> 01:16:00.359 door as possible and come hauling out of there with a bunch of ki Is 980 01:16:00.399 --> 01:16:04.039 the modello eighty three dollars worth of beer. And the moment Nix goes over 981 01:16:04.239 --> 01:16:08.680 to you know, ask about it because two of them are underage and appear 982 01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:14.039 to be underage, he gets five bullets flung at him through the window and 983 01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:19.199 he's killed. And you know, it has those it has that vibe of 984 01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:25.479 those videos received where people just go and loose a store, take whatever they 985 01:16:25.560 --> 01:16:30.079 want, don't give a damn, And it irks me. Then when I 986 01:16:30.119 --> 01:16:36.359 see politicians who seem to be permissive of this trend issuing tweets in support of 987 01:16:36.600 --> 01:16:42.439 as we saw. So obviously this is your hometown. Let's talk about Greensboro, 988 01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:45.520 the community, how they're feeling. And also the fact that it was 989 01:16:45.600 --> 01:16:49.960 a record year for murders, yes last year, So talk to me. 990 01:16:51.119 --> 01:16:54.840 Well, you know, I know I'm not gonna say I hate to say 991 01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:58.399 this, but the fact of the matter is this, This goes directly on 992 01:16:58.479 --> 01:17:01.680 the head the Greensboro City Council. The Greensboro City Council when it comes to 993 01:17:01.800 --> 01:17:08.119 police and has done a terrible job. Terrible They have taken the city backwards. 994 01:17:08.319 --> 01:17:14.119 The city of Greensboro used to be a nationwide example of what policing could 995 01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:17.560 be. The police chief of Greensboro at one time was ahead of the National 996 01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:25.000 Police Chiefs Association. We had a shining star for a police organization right in 997 01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:29.760 Greensboro, North Carolina. But since we've started this whole anti police movement, 998 01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:33.439 the left that started this whole anti police movement, the city of Greensboro has 999 01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:38.439 been right there with them. The entire council's leftists. They don't stand with 1000 01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:42.119 the police. They don't give them what they need to be proactive in fighting 1001 01:17:42.199 --> 01:17:45.680 crime. They don't stand by them. They didn't stand by them during the 1002 01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:50.079 riots that we had, and now we are seeing the effects. We're seeing 1003 01:17:50.159 --> 01:17:55.800 the effects is strictly now. It's hit Greensboro, it's hit Raleigh, it's 1004 01:17:55.880 --> 01:18:00.800 hit Winston, it's hit all these areas. The pissions who have sway over 1005 01:18:00.920 --> 01:18:04.319 these police agencies, they don't back them up, they don't give them what 1006 01:18:04.439 --> 01:18:09.399 they need to be proactive in fighting crime. They're not pro police. And 1007 01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:13.479 now the effects are shown and the effects are chilling. Then you couple down 1008 01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:17.840 long cases with these weak das that continue to let these criminals be in this 1009 01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:25.199 revolving dwarf crime. But what I understand, these beef suspects had lengthy criminal 1010 01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:30.680 records. Yeah, want to be clear, one of them did and then 1011 01:18:31.199 --> 01:18:34.960 uh, the other two I wouldn't describe as lengthy, although there is some 1012 01:18:35.119 --> 01:18:39.159 juvenile stuff that we're probably not privy to. But yes, no, it 1013 01:18:39.359 --> 01:18:42.960 was uh for the for the main suspect. Yeah, there's a there's a 1014 01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:47.760 whole there's a whole litany of stuff and yeah, yeah right, and these 1015 01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:51.079 these these week das, And let's take it to the state level too, 1016 01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:55.199 with some of these laws that we have where we have to police officers have 1017 01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:59.640 to call Raley in order to uh, in order to arrest juveniles and all 1018 01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:04.000 all all manager things. The way we have handcuffed police officers, the way 1019 01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:09.199 we are demonizing police officers, the way the press is complexit in all this, 1020 01:19:09.680 --> 01:19:13.239 it is a recipe for disaster. And folks like me have been saying 1021 01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:15.920 that from the very beginning, you want to continue to degenerate law enforcement, 1022 01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:21.880 you're going to continue to allow our societies and our communities to degenerate into violence. 1023 01:19:23.239 --> 01:19:25.920 And this is an example of it, a sad example of it. 1024 01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:30.800 And we need to hurry up and turn it around again. We need people 1025 01:19:30.920 --> 01:19:34.560 in place who are going to stand on the platform and say we stand firmly 1026 01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:39.760 behind law enforcement. We are going to give law enforcement what they need to 1027 01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:44.640 be proactive in fighting crime, and we are not going to put criminals on 1028 01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:48.600 a revolving door of crime. If you commit these crimes, you will be 1029 01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:51.960 punished to the highest extent of the law. It needs to come from the 1030 01:19:53.079 --> 01:19:57.199 high offices. And right now, it's not sad. Somebody sent me an 1031 01:19:57.199 --> 01:20:00.680 email said, is you're acting like prior to these changes, is that there 1032 01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:03.840 was never somebody who wanted to steal something and felt okay to fire at police. 1033 01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:08.920 No, we're not saying that. But the more deterrence, the more 1034 01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:14.560 situation, the more situations and I'll call them small situations right where somebody's running 1035 01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:18.319 in grabbing a case of beer. The more where you have that scenario play 1036 01:20:18.399 --> 01:20:25.359 out means there's more possibilities for law enforcement to then interact with those individuals. 1037 01:20:25.800 --> 01:20:28.319 So if they feel that they can go ahead and do it, this, 1038 01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:31.520 unfortunately, was the escalation in this case, and it's just mind boggling. 1039 01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:36.079 Over eighty three dollars worth of beer. But that's the difference here. It's 1040 01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:41.000 not that there weren't dirt bags to begin with, it's how you dealt this 1041 01:20:41.119 --> 01:20:46.880 said dirtbags. So absolutely we're talking about we're talking about suspects now who fire 1042 01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:53.119 on police officers because they've got a suspended driver's losses or because they said simply 1043 01:20:53.159 --> 01:20:57.039 feel like they can do it. We're talking about suspects now who just simply 1044 01:20:57.119 --> 01:21:00.880 ignore police officers when they're driving down the street, hit their tags out of 1045 01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:03.439 date, speeding, and the police officers put the blue lights on and they 1046 01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:08.840 just continue to run. We're talking about an escalating thing here. Back in 1047 01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:12.479 the nineteen twenties and nineteen thirties, crime was going to the roof. You 1048 01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:15.880 saw all types manner of criminals, and it gave us pauls and said, 1049 01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:19.800 hey, we have got to start giving police officers what they need. Because 1050 01:21:19.840 --> 01:21:25.399 police officers were outgunned, they were out man It made us realize crime is 1051 01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:28.319 on the rise. We have to fight back. We have to give police 1052 01:21:28.319 --> 01:21:31.159 officers what they need to fight back. Right now we're in the exact opposite 1053 01:21:31.239 --> 01:21:35.560 situation. All police have what they need. We're taking it away from it, 1054 01:21:36.239 --> 01:21:40.760 taking it away from them and allow of crime to rise again. It's 1055 01:21:40.880 --> 01:21:43.760 like this lunacy. It's like something you see on the toilet zone. Quite 1056 01:21:43.800 --> 01:21:46.800 frankly, that's funny. I was just watching Tilet's on yesterday, and it 1057 01:21:46.840 --> 01:21:51.159 would it would make an interesting episode. I'm The problem I have, too, 1058 01:21:51.279 --> 01:21:55.920 is with headlines like this, Mark, eighteen year old charge with murder 1059 01:21:56.279 --> 01:22:01.119 could face death penalty. Nobody does anybodbody really faced the death penalty in North 1060 01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:04.960 Carolina anymore. I mean, I understand from a parade a procedural standpoint, 1061 01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:12.199 but anti death penalty advocates have been successful in creating this stalemate that we've been 1062 01:22:12.279 --> 01:22:15.159 in for what fifteen years, you know, something like that when we were 1063 01:22:15.199 --> 01:22:18.960 still working in that direction. And I haven't seen energy on the part of 1064 01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:23.800 lawmakers on the right or the left to say, all right, we need 1065 01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:27.359 to settle this once and for all. Either we have a death penalty or 1066 01:22:27.439 --> 01:22:30.399 we don't. So I'm curious where you're at on this. Well, it 1067 01:22:30.560 --> 01:22:33.000 just to me, it just all depends. I think. You know. 1068 01:22:33.560 --> 01:22:39.479 My saying about the death penalty is if you're a Susan Smith, if you're 1069 01:22:39.479 --> 01:22:42.680 a Jeffrey Dahler, you should get the death penalty if there's heads in the 1070 01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:45.000 fraser. Yeah, let's go ahead, pull the death penalty out. If 1071 01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:48.840 you admit it that you rolled your children into a lake and dround them, 1072 01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:53.600 Yeah, the death penalty should be on the type. Unfortunately, neither of 1073 01:22:53.720 --> 01:23:00.239 those individuals received the death penalty, so that gives me poul kind of kind 1074 01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:05.520 of but I'm not yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not against the 1075 01:23:05.600 --> 01:23:11.119 death penalty at all. It's just I'm completely against the way any administered. 1076 01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:14.399 I think there are people who get it, they don't necessarily deserve it, 1077 01:23:14.520 --> 01:23:16.840 and they are all those who should definitely get it who don't. Well, 1078 01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:19.720 this is this is why you gotta have a fundamental conversation. Look, I 1079 01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:25.399 know people who aristaunchly conservative and their objection to the death penalty is it's the 1080 01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:30.239 individual against the power of the state, which is not which is not a 1081 01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:34.199 bad discussion or argument, but just let it. It's like the statue removal. 1082 01:23:34.239 --> 01:23:38.039 I only got about a minute. We have laws, we have these 1083 01:23:38.119 --> 01:23:44.479 procedures, and now we have these quasi gray area situations where individuals, judges 1084 01:23:44.760 --> 01:23:47.479 or the governor, like with the statues, where they're just able to come 1085 01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:49.560 in and go Yeah, I know what it says, but here's what we're 1086 01:23:49.560 --> 01:23:56.279 gonna do. So that's what irritates me. Pick a lane and I'm with 1087 01:23:56.399 --> 01:23:59.000 you, heads in the freezer. I think as a good escalator, I 1088 01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:02.840 would think murdering a police officer is another good absolutely, absolutely, you know, 1089 01:24:03.279 --> 01:24:09.039 maybe that needs to be a discussion. And one last thing before we 1090 01:24:09.119 --> 01:24:13.520 get out of here. I'm seeing the political pundits and experts that are that 1091 01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:19.600 are weighing in saying that candidates, especially statewide candidates in North Carolina, conservative 1092 01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:25.920 candidates are not going to do well if they're making abortion a big issue, 1093 01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:30.680 and so the recommendation is Republican candidates should probably just stay away from it. 1094 01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:35.520 What do you think when you hear advice or see polling like that, because 1095 01:24:35.560 --> 01:24:39.640 obviously you're running a state wide race. I got one minute, you know, 1096 01:24:40.279 --> 01:24:43.039 in case. The only thing I think when I hear that is the 1097 01:24:43.119 --> 01:24:46.520 media is trying to just trying to put fear into our hearts. As conservatives 1098 01:24:46.560 --> 01:24:49.880 and of those who believe in life, they're trying to put fear in our 1099 01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:54.359 hearts, and unfortunately it's working with a lot of folks. It's not working 1100 01:24:54.399 --> 01:24:58.159 with me. I'm not afraid We're going to continue to stand on our premise 1101 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:02.640 of standing for life. That's what going to do. All right, eight 1102 01:25:02.720 --> 01:25:08.600 twenty three. Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson joining us, and I appreciate it. 1103 01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:11.760 We'll talk here in a couple of weeks.

So we appreciate the time and we'll do it soon again. 1106 01:25:16.840 --> 01:25:19.720 Okay, Happy new year to you. All right, there you go, 1107 01:25:19.880 --> 01:25:26.239 Mark Robinson here on the cac O Day Radio program.

Oh okay, well 1111 01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:45.119 specifically tell me how sir. I'll wait for that email and we'll be right 1112 01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:50.640 back. Hang on your day Smarter one O six one FM Talk and News 1113 01:25:50.720 --> 01:26:00.319 Talk ninety four to five WPTI more with Casey Starts. Now. All right, 1114 01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:03.479 welcome back. It is eight thirty five cac O Day Radio Program. 1115 01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:10.079 All right, so chatted with Mark Robinson there. Somebody said that I was 1116 01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:14.079 trying to get away with Ross. I'm just trying to think what would I 1117 01:26:14.319 --> 01:26:16.800 what would I have said with Mark that even someone could try to construe as 1118 01:26:16.920 --> 01:26:24.199 racist. Let's try to figure out what it is, like, I'm sorry, 1119 01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:27.760 ros's answering a phone call? Is it the is it? Was it? 1120 01:26:27.880 --> 01:26:30.680 The theater demographic when I'm talking? You know why? You know why 1121 01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:34.800 I'm pointing that out right? Not because I'm simply like I can only speculate 1122 01:26:34.880 --> 01:26:44.039 as to what the greens Greensville audience makeup was, but like the demographic breakdown 1123 01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:47.079 of moviegoers to the color purple is not a secret. In fact, it 1124 01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:50.880 was part of a series of stories that are out there. You can go 1125 01:26:50.960 --> 01:26:59.000 look him up. The movie. Actually, I think it's sixty five percent 1126 01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:08.560 black audience according to let's see here CNBC. I mean, these are numbers 1127 01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:14.720 provided by the studio. And so to point out that on average the audience 1128 01:27:14.840 --> 01:27:21.720 is sixty five percent black, to also speculate that moviegoers in Greenville at a 1129 01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:27.840 movie that is averaging sixty five percent persons of color at the movie, I 1130 01:27:27.920 --> 01:27:31.399 don't know that that's a racist leap. That's the numbers from the studio. 1131 01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:35.239 But all right, if that's what offended you, sir, at least that 1132 01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:40.600 I just wanted you to know my sourcing on it. So there's that. 1133 01:27:41.800 --> 01:27:45.680 But again, the whole thing is a Karen incident, right. It's somebody 1134 01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:50.159 with an ego not getting their way, and to attach all of these really 1135 01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:56.960 important things to it when there's no evidence to suggest it was motivated by any 1136 01:27:57.000 --> 01:28:01.720 of that. That is far more irresponsible than me speculating based on numbers that 1137 01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:10.119 I have access to and you have access to go read them whatever. Another 1138 01:28:10.239 --> 01:28:12.840 day. All right, dog breeders, we got to talk, I know, 1139 01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:16.199 because I know there's some of you out there, like there's a lot 1140 01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:21.000 of dog breeders in North Carolina. But could you work on something big please? 1141 01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:27.000 Right? I don't know if you I don't know if you know you 1142 01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:30.840 see what's going on in the world of dogs or things that look like dogs, 1143 01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:34.760 but you know dog murder bots are here. I'm only asking because yesterday 1144 01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:39.880 I was reading that there is now a new breed. It is the newest 1145 01:28:39.960 --> 01:28:46.399 recognized breed out there by the American Kennel Club and Westminster and it's called the 1146 01:28:46.680 --> 01:28:55.640 uh, the Lancolnshire Healer, and it's a yip Yip dog. Little what 1147 01:28:55.840 --> 01:29:01.000 is it stands a foot tall, weighs on average seventeen pounds. They they're 1148 01:29:01.039 --> 01:29:05.119 actually work they're small work dogs people using with sheep and cows. I don't 1149 01:29:05.159 --> 01:29:08.600 know that i'd want to use a dog that side. It's like a downsized 1150 01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:14.000 Corgie. But I'm just pointing out, like that thing's not going to stand 1151 01:29:14.079 --> 01:29:18.479 a chance against you know, one of these uh, murder murder dogs with 1152 01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:24.000 an oozy on its back. Right, So maybe maybe if we're going to 1153 01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:27.680 get a team of dogs to fight back against our AI dogs, we're gonna 1154 01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:33.880 need something bigger than a shoe box. So apparently they have a smile all 1155 01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:36.760 the time or something. I don't know. It looks yip yippy to me, 1156 01:29:36.880 --> 01:29:41.000 but I don't know anything about the breed other than it being very very 1157 01:29:41.119 --> 01:29:45.800 tiny. Altho, what was it? We did have that story where what 1158 01:29:45.960 --> 01:29:48.399 a remember that pack of wiener dogs killed that woman in like Oklahoma. So 1159 01:29:49.279 --> 01:29:54.920 you know, little dogs they put their mind to it, I guess can 1160 01:29:55.000 --> 01:30:00.039 be fairly vicious. All right, let me flip over to this. A 1161 01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:04.000 new license plate camera program could help. This is the way they wrote the 1162 01:30:04.399 --> 01:30:10.920 article. At Rio could help make North Carolina safer place, but some critics 1163 01:30:10.960 --> 01:30:17.000 say it's an erosion of personal privacy. Automatic license plate readers. Okay, 1164 01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:24.800 so these are these can be a fixed position. A lot of times they'll 1165 01:30:24.880 --> 01:30:30.039 attach into police squads and so as the as the squad car is literally driving 1166 01:30:30.119 --> 01:30:32.880 down let's say they're driving down Main Street and everyone's park there, the license 1167 01:30:32.920 --> 01:30:40.119 play reader is capturing those plates and it's it's checking them for a variety of 1168 01:30:40.239 --> 01:30:44.680 things. According to Holly Beelen, who works for the company that sells these 1169 01:30:44.720 --> 01:30:51.279 things, the license play readers can help identify wanted felony suspects, locate missing 1170 01:30:51.399 --> 01:30:56.880 or endangered people, find stolen vehicles, prevent vehicle threat. I don't know 1171 01:30:56.920 --> 01:31:00.239 how it would prevent it. I in recovery, I understand, but I 1172 01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:09.199 don't know how it's preventive. But okay, and that's why, that's why, 1173 01:31:09.439 --> 01:31:11.560 that's why we need them. Look at all the look at all the 1174 01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:15.600 good that they can do. The article goes on to point out, but 1175 01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:19.000 until this week, the cameras have not been allowed on state controlled roads. 1176 01:31:19.079 --> 01:31:24.039 That's because of objections from lawmakers on both sides as to what they refer to 1177 01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:29.760 as mass surveillance. Yes, yes it is. Here's the thing they don't 1178 01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:32.720 talk about with these camera readers, which is why any community that's had a 1179 01:31:32.760 --> 01:31:40.439 discussion about them, they data retention is a big part of it because here's 1180 01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:45.840 where you're not doing anything right. You're not doing anything at that moment that 1181 01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:51.319 that officer can see right, which would normally instigate further investigation, the ability 1182 01:31:51.399 --> 01:31:58.640 perhaps to search if probable cause was there. But this is just going from 1183 01:31:58.680 --> 01:32:06.199 the word go. And so let's say that you had the police. Oh 1184 01:32:06.279 --> 01:32:11.840 so did I call it? Greens? I'm sorry, everybody's mad at me 1185 01:32:11.920 --> 01:32:15.119 today. Man, Ross, Let's just go home. Man, put something 1186 01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:17.680 on. I don't care, put on whatever you want on. Just go 1187 01:32:17.880 --> 01:32:23.359 home. No, but here's the problem, or here's here's the beef as 1188 01:32:23.399 --> 01:32:27.119 to why data retention is a big deal. So let's say you're out running 1189 01:32:27.239 --> 01:32:30.039 errands. All right, So Ross, You're you're going you're going to Target 1190 01:32:30.119 --> 01:32:33.319 to pick something up from Walmart or wherever you go. You're going to the 1191 01:32:33.399 --> 01:32:40.239 gym. Then you're gonna go to waffle house if it's open. Did you 1192 01:32:40.279 --> 01:32:43.279 really go to a waffle house that was yesterday? Wake Forest? It was. 1193 01:32:43.560 --> 01:32:45.560 It was a big note in the door, closed from one one pm 1194 01:32:45.640 --> 01:32:49.359 to six pm. I thought, it doesn't have to be like a Cat 1195 01:32:49.479 --> 01:32:56.560 six hurricane to get I said, mass civilization is crumbling. I don't know 1196 01:32:56.640 --> 01:32:58.880 what's going on, but anyway, so that's on your list. You're gonna 1197 01:32:58.880 --> 01:33:00.119 go pick up some takeout, all right, So you do those four things, 1198 01:33:01.079 --> 01:33:05.880 and meanwhile, while you're doing it, you know, the police are 1199 01:33:05.920 --> 01:33:10.319 just patrolling, doing all the stuff that they do. Feasibly, if they 1200 01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:15.479 capture your plate at all of those different things, they now have a detailed 1201 01:33:15.680 --> 01:33:21.279 log of your travels and what you've been up to. And you're not you're 1202 01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:28.760 not accused of anything even but they have that information, and you know how 1203 01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:33.039 they use that information that they wouldn't previously have had access to. That's where 1204 01:33:33.119 --> 01:33:41.039 people are are weary on this stuff, right, because we've seen government abuse. 1205 01:33:41.239 --> 01:33:45.359 We just saw him abuse the hell out of Faiza in you know, 1206 01:33:45.439 --> 01:33:49.279 a hundred different ways. We saw all of the you know, the NSA's 1207 01:33:49.439 --> 01:33:56.840 data having to do with calls in and outside of the US that nobody knew 1208 01:33:57.039 --> 01:34:00.680 was going on, Right, So how am I not to assume that, 1209 01:34:00.800 --> 01:34:04.439 in some way, shape or form, that people may use information that frankly 1210 01:34:04.439 --> 01:34:11.960 they wouldn't have had access to yes, even in law enforcement capacity or perhaps 1211 01:34:12.079 --> 01:34:16.199 misuse it. That's why people are scurely on this stuff. Also, people 1212 01:34:16.239 --> 01:34:21.159 don't like the thought of digital policing in a lot of instances, you know, 1213 01:34:21.239 --> 01:34:26.079 red light cameras, those types of things, they just look like big 1214 01:34:26.239 --> 01:34:30.800 cash grabs. So yeah, just to add a little context to this story 1215 01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:38.000 that I feel probably should be part of the discussion. But these companies also, 1216 01:34:38.600 --> 01:34:43.039 you know, they know how to make campaign donations too. They're very 1217 01:34:43.079 --> 01:34:45.279 good at it. So you got that all right. Raced agis never taken 1218 01:34:45.319 --> 01:34:53.479 a campaign donation. Nope, his record is clear. Unfortunately unlike Saturday, 1219 01:34:53.479 --> 01:34:56.560 Saturday will not be clear. So no, it's not going to be And 1220 01:34:56.640 --> 01:35:01.960 that's our next impact event and for some our first for winterry precipitation, tryad 1221 01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:08.359 west spotty areas where we'll see some freezing rain, maybe light ice accumulation too, 1222 01:35:08.479 --> 01:35:12.159 So travel could get a little difficult even around the triangle. There might 1223 01:35:12.199 --> 01:35:14.880 be a brief period of freezing rain before it change on over the rain. 1224 01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:19.159 Because the forecast temperature for Saturday morning is about thirty degrees, so we'll be 1225 01:35:19.199 --> 01:35:23.359 on either side of that. Now, if you're waking up and you get 1226 01:35:23.399 --> 01:35:26.119 in the car and you see precipitation, it's twenty eight or twenty nine. 1227 01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:30.199 I'd be a little more concerned if you see that rather than a thirty one 1228 01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:33.479 or a thirty two. So if you are traveling especially west and southwest and 1229 01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:39.039 into the mountains, we will see some icy precipitation, and the further east 1230 01:35:39.119 --> 01:35:42.720 you go, tryad Triangle, less of a chance, but it's not zero. 1231 01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:45.760 But we're looking good today and tomorrow, two pretty good days for this 1232 01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:48.680 time of year. A little gusty cold breeze today near fifty some of will 1233 01:35:48.680 --> 01:35:53.359 stay us in the forties forties tomorrow mid upper forties for most, and then 1234 01:35:53.439 --> 01:35:57.119 that freezing rain and maybe a little snow comes in as we go through early 1235 01:35:57.199 --> 01:36:01.119 Saturday morning, changing to rain and a gusty bree So the snow chances a 1236 01:36:01.159 --> 01:36:05.039 little bit higher with elevation. I think it's more freezing rain and sleet from 1237 01:36:05.479 --> 01:36:11.079 the Triangle and west, and obviously those chances go higher, as do the 1238 01:36:11.279 --> 01:36:15.079 light totals as you go further west. And then we'll have a break for 1239 01:36:15.159 --> 01:36:17.720 Sunday Monday, and a bigger storm coming in by about Tuesday Wednesday next week 1240 01:36:17.800 --> 01:36:21.600 that could bring a heavy rain and thunderstorm threat. So the potential for that 1241 01:36:21.760 --> 01:36:26.680 one will be more with flooding and win than it would be for any ice. 1242 01:36:26.760 --> 01:36:30.159 So the chances are low but not zero. They go up to medium 1243 01:36:30.159 --> 01:36:32.199 a little further west as you get toward the try it and into the mountains. 1244 01:36:32.239 --> 01:36:35.119 But it doesn't look like a crippling event either way. If you are 1245 01:36:35.159 --> 01:36:40.840 traveling early Saturday, travel with caution, all right. And then I made 1246 01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:45.520 the I was talking about Greenville and I conflated with Greensville. Now I have 1247 01:36:45.319 --> 01:36:48.720 Eastern listeners here, what I mean? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1248 01:36:48.840 --> 01:36:53.840 that'll happen. Can't win, but you make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes. 1249 01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:58.239 No, we don't perfect here. All right, thanks man, we'll 1250 01:36:58.520 --> 01:37:01.880 talk tomorrow. I have a good one, and Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg News joins 1251 01:37:01.960 --> 01:37:15.079 us. Next you're talking, keeping you connected. This is ninety four or 1252 01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:19.640 five WPTI in the triad and one six one FM talk and the Triangle. 1253 01:37:20.359 --> 01:37:24.359 All right, eight fifty two, Hey on collars, I will get to 1254 01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:27.479 you in just a moment, but first we get a chat with Jeff Bellinger 1255 01:37:27.560 --> 01:37:31.600 from Bloomberg News. What's happening Jeff? On Morning Casey A Wall Street's major 1256 01:37:31.680 --> 01:37:36.800 averages lost ground yesterday. Futures are mixed this morning. The Dow futures are 1257 01:37:36.880 --> 01:37:41.319 up ninety six points, but the S and P futures are down one and 1258 01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:45.319 the Nasdaq futures are down sixty nine. Employers were still hiring at a good 1259 01:37:45.399 --> 01:37:49.520 clip at the end of twenty twenty three. ADP says one hundred and sixty 1260 01:37:49.560 --> 01:37:55.479 four thousand workers were added to private sector payrolls in December that top estimates. 1261 01:37:55.760 --> 01:37:59.279 The service sector accounted for the biggest number of new jobs, and there was 1262 01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:02.079 a bigger than ex inspected drop last week in the number of workers filing new 1263 01:38:02.159 --> 01:38:08.600 claims for unemployment benefits. The Labor Department counted two hundred two thousand initial filings. 1264 01:38:08.680 --> 01:38:12.319 That was eighteen thousand fewer than the prior week. Economists note, though, 1265 01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:15.960 that holiday holidays tend to distort the readings. Of course, we had 1266 01:38:15.279 --> 01:38:20.960 major holidays the last two weeks. Doctors have prescribed the anti inflammatory drug Humra 1267 01:38:21.199 --> 01:38:26.520 for millions of patients, making the medication a best seller for ABV, but 1268 01:38:26.640 --> 01:38:30.439 a move by CVS Health threatens to sink sales. Beginning in April, CVS 1269 01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:35.359 prescription plans will direct Humor patients to the generic forms of the drug that became 1270 01:38:35.399 --> 01:38:42.039 available in twenty twenty three. TikTok's planning to grow its e commerce operations here 1271 01:38:42.119 --> 01:38:45.560 in the US. The internet company sees the potential for more than seventeen billion 1272 01:38:45.600 --> 01:38:51.760 dollars in sales this year. In casey limited edition winter Pink cups created by 1273 01:38:51.800 --> 01:38:57.439 Starbucks and Stanley Quencher are having a moment. The forty ounce cups cost nearly 1274 01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:02.399 fifty dollars. They're sold only as Starbucks shops located within Target Stores USA Say. 1275 01:39:02.840 --> 01:39:08.520 USA Today says the stingless steel cups are already sold out at many stores, 1276 01:39:08.600 --> 01:39:12.359 and some are already showing up on eBay for as much as two hundred 1277 01:39:12.399 --> 01:39:15.279 dollars. Yeah, what the hell is going on? I saw a video 1278 01:39:15.640 --> 01:39:19.119 of like a bunch of like a gaggle of women going and there was a 1279 01:39:19.279 --> 01:39:23.199 shelf in there where they had these cups and they were hitting it like it 1280 01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:27.560 was Black Friday. Yeah, so people are fighting over them, and people 1281 01:39:27.560 --> 01:39:30.279 are lining up before dawn to wait for the stores to open. I don't 1282 01:39:30.319 --> 01:39:32.600 get it. You don't get it, Okay, all right, Well, 1283 01:39:32.640 --> 01:39:34.880 what look? They want to beat the crap out of each other and there 1284 01:39:35.079 --> 01:39:39.239 whatever, it's not going to bother me. I'm not going in so all 1285 01:39:39.319 --> 01:39:41.880 right, Jeff, appreciate it, but man, thank you, have a 1286 01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:44.199 good day. Take care of Yeah. Yeah, Ross. Did you see 1287 01:39:44.319 --> 01:39:45.439 these videos? Because I could figure out what the hell was going on? 1288 01:39:45.600 --> 01:39:47.840 They're like, there's is like a travel mug. Yeah. No, those 1289 01:39:47.880 --> 01:39:51.319 tumblers are very popular now. Yeah, and there was Christmas. There's like 1290 01:39:51.479 --> 01:39:56.720 eight women like beating each other to get them off a shelf, just arms 1291 01:39:56.720 --> 01:39:59.800 full of them. Yeah, Marky's sister got one of those tumblers whatever they're 1292 01:39:59.800 --> 01:40:03.439 called for Christmas. It was like a big deal. Is the big deal 1293 01:40:03.479 --> 01:40:08.000 though? I mean, is that's what I'm That's what I'm still even after 1294 01:40:08.079 --> 01:40:12.079 listening to Jeff, I don't understand it. But then I realized it's not 1295 01:40:12.159 --> 01:40:14.560 going to affect me because I'm not going into a Starbucks. All right, 1296 01:40:14.600 --> 01:40:17.319 to the phones. Here we go, Jim, you're up first, go 1297 01:40:17.439 --> 01:40:21.520 right ahead. Hey, good morning, Casey, happy new here. I 1298 01:40:21.600 --> 01:40:27.439 wanted to give you an update on the Tyreek Hill house fire situation. It 1299 01:40:27.520 --> 01:40:33.119 turns out he did not have homeowners insurance coverage because just prior to the fire, 1300 01:40:33.840 --> 01:40:39.800 Pat mahomes Andy Reid and Jake from State Farm canceled his policy, so 1301 01:40:40.399 --> 01:40:45.600 he tried to get reinsured and Peyton Manning turned him down over at his company 1302 01:40:45.760 --> 01:40:50.319 and then he was on hold with Flow and then the fire happened. So 1303 01:40:51.079 --> 01:40:57.119 yeah, he was uninsured at the time. Probably should have talked to the 1304 01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:00.920 Arley ermy right, I don't know, So I don't know. Even if 1305 01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:04.199 he's uninsured on a ten million dollar house or whatever it is, I think 1306 01:41:04.239 --> 01:41:09.520 he can probably still afford some rent, So you would think, yeah, 1307 01:41:09.760 --> 01:41:14.520 you appreciate it. I have yourself a good one and uh leo, uh 1308 01:41:14.760 --> 01:41:17.760 got a couple of minutes, go right ahead, Good morning, Casey. 1309 01:41:19.039 --> 01:41:24.880 I just wanted to talk about what Mark Roberts said. I agree with him 1310 01:41:24.920 --> 01:41:31.640 that cops are pretty much protected. But I feel like the American people sometimes 1311 01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:38.600 get abused by cops just because they're American people, and uh, they get 1312 01:41:38.680 --> 01:41:44.039 pulled over, and one thing leads to another and the next thing that you 1313 01:41:44.159 --> 01:41:48.439 know, they're violating your rights, and and there's no recourse for American people 1314 01:41:48.640 --> 01:41:53.720 except spend a lot of money and go in front of a judge or something. 1315 01:41:53.760 --> 01:41:57.119 And I think that it needs to be a balance. I feel like 1316 01:41:57.479 --> 01:42:02.279 officers need to be uh trained a little better in de escalation because not everyone 1317 01:42:02.399 --> 01:42:06.119 is a criminal out out here, and you know, let me let me 1318 01:42:08.479 --> 01:42:10.720 yeah, let me let me say this. And I don't. I can't 1319 01:42:10.760 --> 01:42:15.239 speak for Mark, but I can't speak for me. The we talking about 1320 01:42:15.279 --> 01:42:19.079 it from a perspective of a law enforcement officer literally going and trying to just 1321 01:42:19.159 --> 01:42:25.439 see why kids have beer and uh and then that escalating. That's one issue. 1322 01:42:25.560 --> 01:42:28.720 I don't disagree with you on the other stuff because and why I think 1323 01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:32.359 it's important though, but you have to protect cops is because they are going 1324 01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:36.319 to be that line of defense. Right. So if you were in a 1325 01:42:36.359 --> 01:42:41.920 situation where there's four bystanders and and two cops sitting there and you wanted to 1326 01:42:42.479 --> 01:42:45.399 seize control over it in a violent, criminal manner, the likelihood is you're 1327 01:42:45.439 --> 01:42:51.039 going to target the cops first because you know they're they're armed, they probably 1328 01:42:51.359 --> 01:42:56.359 they they have the clearest threat to you. So you couple that with that 1329 01:42:56.560 --> 01:43:00.439 responsibility that we put on police and the rights that we allow them to sub 1330 01:43:01.359 --> 01:43:06.039 subvert when they take you into custody, it's not too much to demand that 1331 01:43:06.239 --> 01:43:10.279 they be held to a standard. And I think most law enforcement would agree. 1332 01:43:10.319 --> 01:43:12.840 So I'm with you, sir. I just I think there's a number 1333 01:43:12.880 --> 01:43:15.720 of issues here. So but I got to roll okay, yeah all right, 1334 01:43:15.920 --> 01:43:19.119 yeah yeah yeah yeah, And I had a couple of emailers say that 1335 01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:21.840 as well. I don't necessarily I don't disagree with you. Look, I 1336 01:43:23.920 --> 01:43:29.600 told you I had a run in with just a horrendous police has no business, 1337 01:43:30.319 --> 01:43:34.279 right, But that hasn't been my experience with most law enforcement. So 1338 01:43:35.199 --> 01:43:40.039 yeah, keeping out for that and if there's positive changes we can make, 1339 01:43:40.680 --> 01:43:42.800 then I'm all for it. All right, we got to go
