1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.360
Something on my calendar today. Just
can't remember what that might be. Oh

2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.560
look, here's CNN explaining how they're
new microphone systems going to work during the

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.480
debate. If we go behind the
podiums, you can see two green lights.

4
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.239
When they're on, they signal to
the candidate his microphone is on.

5
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:21.079
When the green lights are off,
they signal to the candidate his microphone is

6
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.559
off. Now, I want to
give you a sense of what it will

7
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.879
look like for viewers at home if
a candidate whose microphone is off interrupts a

8
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.320
candidate whose microphone is on. So
I'm standing at one podium and I'll ask

9
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.479
Phil to come in and take the
other podium. And so let's say I'm

10
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.920
answering a question. My light is
green and I'm speaking. Phil's microphone is

11
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.119
off and his green lights are not
illuminated. He's going to interrupt me as

12
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.759
I'm speaking, And this is what
it will sound like. My volume remains

13
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:52.520
constant, while Phil's interruption can be
difficult to understand. Let's try the opposite.

14
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.520
My microphone is now on, Victor's
microphone is off, and he's going

15
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.880
to interrupt me. By the way, why would you need to show me

16
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:04.879
the opposite. Well do you are? Are there such low IQ? Well,

17
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.680
actually, at CNN, you know
what I'm wrong here? You probably

18
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.319
do have to demonstrate it, either
for conspiracy theory reasons or whatever. I'm

19
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.680
sorry, go ahead. My volume
remains constant while Victor's interruption can be difficult

20
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.599
to understand. The Senes production team
has shared this demonstration with the campaigns earlier

21
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.840
today, and we're sharing it with
you, our viewers, so everyone fully

22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.599
understands how tomorrow night will work.
Now we should know by agreeing to participate

23
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.120
in this debate. Both campaigns and
candidates have also agreed to bide by these

24
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:45.480
rules. The CNN Presidential Debate airs
a lot tomorrow night at nine PMES.

25
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.560
Okay, all right, so they
are going to go with the full mic

26
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:57.159
cutoff. I would point out there's
options here. We do something like,

27
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.400
let me give you a hypothetical.
Ross. You're going to be the caller

28
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.879
for this, Okay, So let's
say you call into the show and you

29
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.759
told the producer, which is you
obviously, but I want to talk about

30
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.919
this, and then you get on
the air and you don't, and then

31
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.599
you start staying really stupid stuff.
Okay, When I start speaking, or

32
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:27.800
Ross starts speaking on our microphone positions, it does something called ducking. That's

33
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.599
the word for it. It ducks. And basically it is a elect It

34
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:40.360
is a setting where electronically the volume
of you on the phone saying stupid stuff

35
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.159
because you're dumb, not you,
but you know, the hypothetical person here,

36
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.240
their audio level would would would dump. So if you know, if

37
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:58.879
Ross is talking and he's the caller, I literally my mic will duck his

38
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.159
mic as well if he is not
at his position. So if he gets

39
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.240
on one of the other mics,
like if he was to walk in the

40
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.719
other studio and be on mics two
through four or any of the other ones

41
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.280
like that, I'm pointing out that
the technology exists where you have heard it

42
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:22.280
over the years in a radio setting, right, things like that. And

43
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:28.719
then obviously sometimes people call and I
don't know if they take the phone and

44
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:35.199
spin it upside down so that they
can't hear me, and you would be

45
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.400
you would be shocked the number of
times I'm talking to a caller and it's

46
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.919
a caller that's just rambling, and
all of a sudden, I start saying

47
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.960
something because we're coming up to a
break or whatever it is, and then

48
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.479
all of a sudden, even though
that caller had been talking, you kind

49
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.080
of hear them disappear. The other
option is Ross literally on occasion, has

50
00:03:53.120 --> 00:04:00.240
to pot it all the way down
because even ducking doesn't handle it and he'll

51
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.080
literally in my ear you can't hear
it and be like he's still talking.

52
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.520
And it's most of the times it's
not arsenal. I just got to break

53
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.120
the hit and no, it happened
last week I think where we had a

54
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.039
guy who just would not stop talking
when you were trying to have a conversation

55
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.399
with him, and I don't Sometimes
it's a it's an age issue. Sometimes

56
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:19.000
you just don't hear the phone.
And yeah, I potted this guy down

57
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.959
so you can have a conversation,
and you you, you gave him probably

58
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.079
a sixty you know, a good
response, and the entire time you were

59
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.639
giving your sixty second response or whatever, he kept talking. He talked the

60
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.160
entire duration of what he had no
idea he was off the air. So

61
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.600
I'm just the point that I'm making
is people are like, oh, this

62
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.959
is unprecedented. It is, but
it isn't and and CNN there are better

63
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.279
ways to handle it. Now,
why do you think CNN's going with this

64
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.800
direction? By the way, do
you think that that's all it does,

65
00:04:51.959 --> 00:05:01.079
or do you think like so,
my conspiracy is if Joe Biden's talking and

66
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:08.000
he starts wandering and Donald Trump starts
interrupting it, it hits Biden with I

67
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.879
don't know, maybe like a shot
of the adderall or something. I don't

68
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.959
know. I don't know, like
because I enjoy reading weird stuff on the

69
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.680
internet, you know. So I'm
little the audio them explaining how this works,

70
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.519
and my first thought was this is
going to confuse Biden, is it?

71
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.120
Though? I I mean, I
know it's sad to say because it's

72
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.639
so simple, but I mean it's
a minute, what one minute fifteen second

73
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.079
audio clip about how the microphones work, and I think it's it might be

74
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.160
too I could see him like,
okay, here's the thing. I can

75
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.879
see him talking and thinking his microphone
is on and it not being on.

76
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.879
Sure, oh, absolutely, one
hundred percent. But is that more injurious

77
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.079
than some I didn't pull all the
exchanges, but there's there's lots of exchanges

78
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:56.040
where not in the first not the
first debate between those two that was that

79
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.879
was its own thing. But in
the second debate, Biden be talking and

80
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.199
Trump would be more concise. You
know a lot of times he just says

81
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:08.480
little stuff like you know, when
there's that famous Hillary Clinton one where you

82
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.079
know, she said something and he
said, because you'd be in jail.

83
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.319
That clip floats around a lot.
There's a there was a montage of when

84
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.040
Trump would start saying stuff even if
you'd say just a little thing where Biden

85
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:27.720
would either stop, freeze or it
would take him off the point that he

86
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.040
was wanting to make. Yeah,
it's a good point because even if they

87
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.279
mute Trump's microphone over the broadcast,
Biden can obviously still hear him, right,

88
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.920
I mean they're not like separated by
like a plexiglass or a partition or

89
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.839
anything. Right, I don't know, there's not remember, there's not a

90
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.120
lot of you. I don't know
who the hell knows. I mean,

91
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.639
that's how it looks in the video. So if it is that distance,

92
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.759
I guess maybe if Biden's got an
ear piece in, But you know,

93
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.439
that's the that's the that's the whole
conspiracy. All the time I would point

94
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.759
this out, Joe Biden having an
earpiece with people saying stuff in his head.

95
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.519
He wouldn't be able to handle it. Would you agree with that as

96
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.199
somebody who's had to literally keep talking
on the air, well A thousand,

97
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.079
Yeah, there's no There is no
way that Joe Biden could handle it.

98
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.839
Or but I'm the actor under the
Joe Biden face mask the lizard person who

99
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.879
are? Oh you went? Are
you already there? Damn it? I

100
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.720
had a better one go ahead?
And yeah, you know what I'm saying.

101
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.839
So you have the lizard person who
is or the Biden clone with the

102
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.800
mask over the ears so you already
can't hear. Good, then you put

103
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.920
an earpiece in there, and then
you put in all the mind. It's

104
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:38.160
gonna be so confusing for whoever's playing
Biden or that lizard person. Yeah,

105
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.839
but I mean the lizard person brain. Maybe their brain can comprehend it.

106
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.480
I don't know how. Yeah,
well don't they telepathically connection? Anyway?

107
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.279
I think those are the grays.
I don't know, you're telling me a

108
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.319
graye never gotten with the lizard person? Oh good dude. You know they

109
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:55.600
have you know, brown Figger Brown. Yeah right, I don't know,

110
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.240
because they're really into the probing.
You know, some of the lizard people

111
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.439
are into that as well. Maybe
you know persons into you know, flokas

112
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.199
or whatever, you know, the
little little spinners or whatever they say,

113
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.199
you know, or or and and
and and it like has destroyed the lizard

114
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.720
person's family right because they, you
know, brought the gray home for I

115
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.040
don't know, what's a lizard person
holiday right to meet the fam and lizard

116
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:28.720
dads like I and lizard moms like
don't say anything, honey, And it's

117
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.080
this whole uncomfortable like and that had
to have happened in the grand scheme of

118
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.679
things, just saying that being said, Can I let me let me give

119
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:48.039
you an absurdity, not that lizard
people in gray is an absurdity obviously,

120
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.759
let me let me give you an
absurdity that I could literally see an argument

121
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.600
being made for considering the amount of
manipulation that is willing to be done on

122
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.039
it. Look, the North Carolina
Board of Elections just decided RFK and Cornell

123
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:09.679
West can't be on the ballot even
though they're they're you know, they're literally

124
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:16.279
out there they're known U RFK Junior
is I don't he like he ends up

125
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.639
on polls in North Carolina and they
just decided. The Democrats said we can't

126
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.000
have them. They'll lose just like
they did with the Greens last time,

127
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.200
and the Supreme Court will probably be
the one who does it here in North

128
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.039
Carolina. But if you're willing to
manipulate, uh, tell me if you

129
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:41.639
think that a that you could get
a politician or a journalist who is clearly

130
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.200
on the left to make this argument. We tried to do the mic muting.

131
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.399
It didn't work. And because of
the proximity on the stage, like

132
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.679
you just pointed out, Ross Biden, who's just trying to answer the question

133
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.080
just be a man of the people, he still is unable to do so

134
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.960
because this monster won't shut up.
All right, Well, we also have

135
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:16.480
AI. So if Joe Biden is
explaining his student loan whatever, right,

136
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.960
and Donald Trump is making it impossible
to do that, why shouldn't an AI

137
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.759
be able to just utilize the previous
statements that Joe Biden has made on this

138
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.799
and then that's what comes through the
microphone. I mean, technologically, that's

139
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.879
that that could happen, right,
I don't I don't see anything that would

140
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.799
stop that. So you know,
Joe Biden's talking he's trying to explain this

141
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:46.919
thing. Evil Trump won't shut up. Boom Ai starts. The audio you

142
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.159
start hearing is from the time Joe
Biden explained it at the rally in Memphis

143
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.559
or whatever. It's It's only fair. Does that sound so far fetched in

144
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.639
today's modern age? You know,
it sounds weird at first, blush,

145
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.679
but roll it over a couple times
in your mind, because you'd have people

146
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.679
going, Look, the point of
this is to inform individuals where they stand,

147
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.600
and if one candidate's not going to
allow that, then we, you

148
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.279
know, we have to do something. We tried to do the mic muting,

149
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.360
it didn't work, and then we'll
do the grey thing and with the

150
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.120
lizard. I mean, those are
great points, but I'm not gonna lie.

151
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:30.679
The entire time you were describing that, my mind was elsewhere thinking about

152
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.519
the lizard person and the Grays bonding
over their hatred of Giorgio Suklos. They

153
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.039
could find something to bond over.
You know, this guy knows nothing,

154
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.360
like this guy thinks he knows everything. He knows nothing, idiot, right,

155
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.320
but he's still a hype man for
him, right, I mean,

156
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.200
think about think about what he's what
he's pushing, he's he's he's like,

157
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:54.039
he's bragging on your tech, you
know what I mean? Like that feels

158
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.080
pretty good. What if they had
none to do it and there's like a

159
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.799
third branch of aliens and they're like, those are the guys that really did

160
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.759
This guy's an idiot. Okay,
we would never did what came up with.

161
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.320
You know, wormhole technology took over
entire planets without you doing This is

162
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.639
more on with his hair. Ross. If I got on the air and

163
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.840
I'm like Ross, so over the
weekend, Ross took over and now is

164
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:24.759
the head of the Illuminati and rules
the planet bow right, even though you

165
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.039
didn't do that over the weekend,
then I'm a man of the people.

166
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.960
I'd be like, those were the
erechnids. You would no, no,

167
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.840
no, you feel a little good. I'd be like, oh, they

168
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.519
believe in me and my you know, my quest to dominate the world.

169
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:45.720
So who's the the lizard, Like, who's who's the mom? Who's the

170
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:52.399
dad? In that, I would
assume the gray imagine it would be the

171
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.440
female. I think, dude,
I have to ask the question that we

172
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:03.600
always ask in this situation. Do
you know what that question is? Is

173
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.360
that a category of adult film,
not the actual aliens. But like,

174
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.759
I mean, you know how this
and every single time time this comes up,

175
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.399
my answer is yes, probably because
everything we searched it is all right.

176
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.200
Well, maybe I'm not searching the
hell I'm not doing it. Wait,

177
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.879
did Trevor stay logged in in the
studio? He did? Dude,

178
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.679
you are presented with an opportunity.
I signed him out. I signed him

179
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.399
out. Oh wow, you know
how much power you held. No.

180
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.600
I came in, I saw you
signed in, and I said that's none

181
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.960
of my business, and I signed
him out because I'm amazing he did.

182
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:50.559
This is not he was at about
five point fifteen. He was a very

183
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.159
He was a very nervous individual,
which understandably so in the sense that the

184
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.279
first time you're gonna go run,
don care how long you've been in radio.

185
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.399
You're running the board for a new
show. First time I do a

186
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.440
fill in for a host, even
if they have a similar you know,

187
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.480
if they have a very similar clock
to me, I still am a little

188
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.600
nervous. First time I did Miami
because they have a newswheel like, I

189
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.360
apologize the program director He's like,
no, it's fine, and I'm like,

190
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.960
dude, it's just so different from
what I do. And so we

191
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.759
go on the air and I'm like, hey, you know, this is

192
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:37.080
Trevor Ross is out fighting comedies or
whatever. Trevor's RPD on one O six

193
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.639
and it's his first day. So
say hi to Trevor, everybody, but

194
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.559
if you call in, that's what
you're going to be hearing. And then

195
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.600
I'm like, by the way,
Trevor previous program director his first day when

196
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.200
we were done, he forever was
called Brian the bad boardop. So no

197
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.320
pressure and we rocked out and uh, you know, on the air,

198
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.759
I think it sounded fine. Little
couple things there, so but that's good,

199
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.480
Like we need more people know how
to run the show, give us

200
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.720
more flexibility. So and the audience
was suggesting that we refer to him as

201
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:16.200
Deputy Trevor, but I'll leave that
up to you because the sheriff thing,

202
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.200
So your choice, that's all I'm
saying. Anyway, it is six twenty

203
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.440
two, have to go review the
tape. Yeah, so we got this

204
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.720
debate thing tonight. Yeah, we're
gonna have to get into that. But

205
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.639
in addition, we got a burger
controversy. I don't know why this made

206
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.600
me so angry, but it did. If you if you're not following the

207
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.320
what a Burger lawsuits, Yeah,
we'll get into that. There's because there's

208
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.840
a lot more info that's out also
swatting out. There's a there's a new

209
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.679
thing you can do in the world
of video games, and Steven kent our

210
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:03.399
nerd correspondent will make his triumphant return
to defend the acolyte or something. And

211
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:11.240
I'm I'm gonna be very interested to
hear it because lightsaber haircuts are a thing

212
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.360
now and I got questions. So
hang on, welcome, It is the

213
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:23.720
Cacoday Radio program. We know what
is the oh you will know? All

214
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.080
right? Let me I want to
make sure I understand that I did see

215
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.840
that this morning, but what you're
telling me in your email is difference or

216
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.080
so let me do a little more
research because I share your concern. It's

217
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.159
it's about CNN and Elon Musk.
So all right, hang loose on that.

218
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.320
Let's grab a couple or I guess
we just got one caller still holding.

219
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:47.679
Let me grab a quick call Kevin. What's going on this morning?

220
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.240
Hey, you just reported on the
news that Biden is in a hangar in

221
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:59.360
a movie theater with sixteen people.
He's filming what's going to be put on

222
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.799
tonight. He picked the side of
the stage he wants to be on.

223
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.240
He doesn't want an audience. It's
gonna be ai if he starts to mess

224
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.240
up. Well, look, I'm
not spinning conspiracy, sir. But literally

225
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.240
everything you just said except for the
you know, I don't. I don't

226
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.599
know that they'll just cut to the
film there. But I like that addition

227
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:26.279
to my conspiracy. The absurdity of
no audience and them literally constructing Bollaggio safe

228
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:33.200
is wild, right, It's crazy, man. Yeah, I like that

229
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.839
going. What about the Gray hold
on? Sir? Let me ask you

230
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.720
the important question. I let you
go the Grays and the lizard people.

231
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:48.119
Who's wearing the pants in that family? Nancy Pelosi is all right, fair

232
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.319
enough, appreciate it? Yeah,
all right. So I like Kevin's edition

233
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.119
Ross, That's a good one.
Huh No, it makes sense, right,

234
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:57.839
They have a full scale replica of
the set that he's been practicing on

235
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.359
in front of, like you know, pretty suits and staffers and stuff.

236
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.440
So I mean if but no audience, just clear, no audience. But

237
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.319
the AI stuff aside. You know, even if they're recreating the set there,

238
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:12.160
I'm sure they wouldn't just give him
the answers ahead of time, right,

239
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.480
I mean, at that point it'd
be Trump's word. I don't know

240
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.519
how much of his staff is going
to be in there, but they wouldn't

241
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.960
get any traction because none of the
outlets would run any of his stuff.

242
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.480
No, I just want to be
abundantly clear. I I No, I

243
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:36.880
don't think that's going to happen.
But right, where's the same suit and

244
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.480
we're left arguing over whether the part
in his hair was in exactly the same

245
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.799
spot as the last shot, because
you know, a lot of times to

246
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.720
detract from something, all you gotta
do is just cause confusion. But it's

247
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.720
I don't go. You know,
there's theaters around. That's just so you

248
00:18:55.799 --> 00:19:02.559
know they're they're so green that they
built a theater for two weeks or they

249
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.440
built obviously they didn't build a new
building, but well, how many how

250
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.400
long did that take? What did
that cost? What is the carbon footprint?

251
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:17.000
You're telling me? I didn't even
what is the venue for this?

252
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.000
By the way, you know what
I just realized, I don't know the

253
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.880
name of the theater that they're actually
in. But you know, Ross,

254
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:32.359
you've been in a lot of theaters
doing what we do right go, you

255
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.759
know, for concerts or for some
of the larger scale events things along those

256
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:41.319
lines. I have, they have
their uniqueness. But at the end of

257
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:47.720
the day, does Red Hat and
Walnut Creek really look that much different from

258
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.759
a from a stage perspective. I
mean, either way, you're on the

259
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.200
stage and you're looking out into lights, you know what I mean, Yes,

260
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.359
that's what and that's where I was
going. And when you're on you

261
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:02.359
almost see nothing, depending on how
it's set up. It's it's pretty crazy.

262
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.279
That's why if you ever go to
concert and an artist is interacting,

263
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.400
when they did it, put their
hand on their forehead right there, and

264
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.119
depending on how the lights are set. I remember I when I was still

265
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.680
doing the thing on our all rock
station, I would have to go go

266
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.480
down and do it or Dutch.
I hated doing that because I just felt

267
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:23.519
so old. I felt I felt
so old standing on the stage at Red

268
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:30.160
Hat looking down and and my old
brain kicks in and I'm like, dude,

269
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.799
I'm sorry. Do do teen girls
wear clothes anymore? I I really

270
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:37.359
I realized how old I was.
I was the same way when I was

271
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.359
still doing them sing the clubs on
like a Friday and Saturday night for the

272
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.200
time right before I came over here
in twenty eleven. I remember I was

273
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.680
up there in the VP the DJ
boot looking down. I'm like, I'm

274
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.960
so old I was. I was
kind of relieve though, like because I'm

275
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.319
like, that's the right response,
you know, uh, when you when

276
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:00.319
you're getting on that. At no
point, I'm like, hey, I

277
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.000
wonder if I could text these girls
and meet them backstage, only if I

278
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.680
know it's true. I was relieved. I don't. Yeah, you get

279
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.359
older and like, like like kids
even in like college, they look like

280
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.319
they're twelve. Yes, you know
what I mean. They're like you're so

281
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.119
young, and You're like, you're
how old you're in college? You're like,

282
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.200
you're're in sixth grade. You're a
liar. I'm sitting there and I

283
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.160
was introducing who was it. I
don't even it doesn't matter who it was,

284
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:26.880
but it was, you know,
it was obviously one of the newer

285
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:32.559
acts, and I'm just like,
and I remember thinking while I'm talking,

286
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:36.640
I'm like, can your parents let
you go out? Like that that wasn't

287
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.720
all of it. It wasn't everybody, but yeah, it was a few

288
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.759
in the front row who I was
like, oh my gosh, but yeah,

289
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.519
you really have a hard time seeing
a lot of it. It's just

290
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:59.359
the whole thing with like to reconstruct
it when the I could probably find a

291
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:06.319
theater all right, all right,
right location, it's in Atlanta, I

292
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:12.079
know that, But is it a
theater or is it CNN, like because

293
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:19.640
CNN has a performance studio. I
know you're shocked. Ah, why would

294
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:30.640
you make this piece of information so
hard to locate? What is wrong with

295
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.160
look at it? Even on CNN's
It's like, give me a break.

296
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.680
It's going to NBC Chicago for this
information. Yeah, apparently there's gonna be

297
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.559
a bunch of protests, so prepare
one's oneself to this. But remember this

298
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:55.079
is an administration that likes building sets. Yeah, but like, I still

299
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.319
don't understand why they have that set
of the Oval Office. It's super weird.

300
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:00.599
So for those of you who don't
know, you have the Oval Office

301
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:06.200
and in the Executive the Executive build
or whatever the building is right next to

302
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:14.599
they constructed a half Oval office complete
with windows with not real stuff behind it,

303
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.640
because obviously you have to mirror the
view that people know is the Oval

304
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.680
office. So they have a fake
half oval office set. Now. They

305
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.480
said it's so that they can hold
events in the Oval office, which has

306
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.200
limited space. So if you just
have the part that you're firing a camera

307
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.160
into and then you mock up the
windows, it allows for more people to

308
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:38.680
be in there. But in most
of the instances, right I see him

309
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.920
use it, it's pool reporters,
which you know, it's not the entirety

310
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.200
of the White House press staff,
it's pool reporters. It makes you have

311
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.920
to have him now leave the Oval
office go over the other thing if he's

312
00:23:53.000 --> 00:24:00.119
involved instead of leading probably about fifteen
people in which can which can easily fit

313
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:06.440
in the Oval office. I will
attest that to you as somebody who has

314
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.400
literally gotten to look into it.
Okay, So in the background of the

315
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.359
windows never make sense because it'll be
like the middle of winter and behind them

316
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.000
they'll be like big trees, like
it's like it's summer or spring. Well,

317
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.519
you know, I don't know if
you know this, you've been on

318
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.319
the White House grounds. Uh No, it's like one of those magical things

319
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:32.279
surrounding it, so it's always perfect
always. Oh so it's like, yeah,

320
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:33.559
it's like, is it like a
dome or is it like forest field

321
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.720
technology? It's force field tech.
Oh wow, yeah, it's the grat

322
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.799
It makes me feel better knowing we
have that to defend our president. And

323
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.799
as a peasant, all you see
is just you know, I'll look at

324
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.359
snowe over there too. But once
you get inside, now it's perfect.

325
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.640
So that's crazy technology. I was
going to say, like, is there

326
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:55.920
something Harry Potter that that would kind
of go with. I didn't. I

327
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:00.519
didn't know, so, but you
get what I'm driving out. That's see

328
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:11.480
it isn't okay. It is in
CNN's Atlanta studios. You know what is

329
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.720
this is such bs man. I
mean obviously you can't roll in there,

330
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:21.200
but they the performance studio that they
have for CNN. So when you see

331
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.359
they've done CNN town Hall stuff in
there, so you're probably familiar with.

332
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:30.519
It is not notably different than one
hundred venues that they would have access to

333
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.279
and they and they could rent.
In fact, you know, he's got

334
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:44.240
a very similar performance studio like that
is uh public radio and uh people you

335
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:48.519
can rent it uh in in DC
because they had a thing. I'm like,

336
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.119
why are we going to the public
radio thing? But they had rented

337
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.119
the facility, so oh man,
all right, who the hell knows what's

338
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.960
gonna happen. But as we cruise
through the show, because we got to

339
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:07.720
canceling, we got to do uh
here in just a moment, I most

340
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:14.200
what what do you think actually happens? I I everyone is. I've seen

341
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.200
everyone going, this is what should
happen. Right, Trump should be shown

342
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.240
for who he is, Joe Biden, Joe Biden should the world should see

343
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:27.160
that he's infirm. But in reality, do you think that's what's going to

344
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:33.720
happen or is that just people kind
of projecting their political wants and needs,

345
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:41.279
because look, the the ingredients are
there for this thing to go sideways,

346
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.559
and it could. It's just it's
it's depressing to me that it never has

347
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.799
because every State of the Union,
every debate, we're like, okay,

348
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:56.000
this could be the one where it
goes completely off the rails and the clone

349
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.400
or the or the robot malfunctions and
then you know it's the world. Yeah,

350
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.920
and it never happens. He always
rolls out there and he's you know,

351
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.480
hopped up on a million different drugs, or they just had an IV

352
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.680
with him backstage, or it's whatever. It's it's the newest version of the

353
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.680
clone or whatever. I'm kidding.
I don't actually think there's a clone.

354
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.119
There's somebody out there right now going, oh, there's a clone more on.

355
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.119
But No, it's never that train
wreck that you think is going to

356
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:23.079
happen. No, And it's never
that. He was talking on the news

357
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.319
this week about when you're in the
White House, the medicine cabinet's amazing,

358
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.880
and they were talking about their time
from in the Trump thing, and not

359
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.119
just for whoever's the president, but
like, if you're anybody who's in the

360
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.759
higher up, they're just writing scripts
and I'm sure something you'd get arrested.

361
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.000
Yeah, And I'm sure it's some
sort of medication you've never heard of.

362
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.000
What if they what if they accidentally
get some laced with fentanyl, because doesn't

363
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.759
that happen to literally every drug now
at some point, like ah, there's

364
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.400
ventanyl in the and then I feel
like we do a story a week on

365
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.599
that. So to your point,
no, it's something you've never heard of,

366
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:03.240
but also so it's something they're not
just yeah, and it's heading heading

367
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.480
to uptown to buy. And it's
super weird because like we see consistently in

368
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:10.440
the news, like the Joe Biden
that was at Normandy or the Joe Biden

369
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.119
that was some factory giving a speech
and he can't follow along. You never

370
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.839
see that Biden at these events.
It just never seems to happen. And

371
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.559
and they have not really they have. They did not return to the White

372
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.559
House after the weekend, and they
announced that they wouldn't be so uh they

373
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:27.839
you know, they've been doing this
thing they're doing all right, so that

374
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.920
you know, we'll make that part
of the show. Also, we got

375
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:37.160
uh, let's see here, is
that what they call it? The cat?

376
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.200
Oh no, I see what you're
doing there, sir? All right,

377
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.680
I you almost got me. That
was pretty good. But instead I'm

378
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.039
gonna go to break and we come
back. We'll do a canceling. Hang

379
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:53.319
on cac O Day Radio program phone
number eight eight eight nine three four seven

380
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:59.960
eight seven four. We got us
a canceling and I'm not gonna scold you

381
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:06.720
guys, but we're gonna we're gonna
have a discussion about taking a taking a

382
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.799
little step back, a little pause, a little respite sometimes where you when

383
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.000
you're like, oh, what is
going on and just giving it a good

384
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.799
think, because I think too often
nowadays we don't give stuff a good think

385
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.279
and it's and it's easy, like
we've been trained not to do it right

386
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.279
by social media. This thing just
happened. I have to have a I

387
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.480
got to put something out immediately.
Where do you stand? I gotta be

388
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.640
up in like three seconds because the
other guy's going to be up in five

389
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.079
and if it takes are too similar, I think we just rosstin't We just

390
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:40.839
talked about this where people are like, why why haven't you wait in on

391
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:42.960
this thing that happened three minutes ago? And it's like, I don't know,

392
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:47.240
Maybe I want to wait for some
more information or think about it.

393
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.839
And uh, I did see the
very same thing that a bunch of you

394
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:59.839
have sent me emails on and I
knew it already, but I'll get into

395
00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:11.400
it. So first the canceling and
I got to tell you the stones this

396
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:22.440
takes in North Carolina is absolutely wild
to me. I can I almost respect

397
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.240
and you and you'll see it in
the way that they worded some of this,

398
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:32.000
like I respect you putting it out
there because it's so insane and it's

399
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:37.319
going to it it will irritate so
many people. And you said, I

400
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:45.000
don't care. I'm an unhinged moon
bat and I'll do what I want to

401
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:52.240
do. So what am I talking
about the latest problematic statue? Yeah,

402
00:30:52.440 --> 00:31:00.960
we got one. The difference is
this statue is about forty days old,

403
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:07.920
or at least the installation of it
is about forty days old. I'm,

404
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:15.160
of course, referring to the extremely
problematic Billy Graham's statue that was put into

405
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.559
the Capitol. I guess, just
real quick, every state can provide two

406
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.079
statues. It has been they and
they change. They can change, and

407
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:32.400
there's Look, there's been controversy before
where especially among Southern states, protesters go

408
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.160
out and they're like, Ah,
this person, who's the statue in there?

409
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.680
They were alive during I don't know, slavery, or they did own

410
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:45.119
slaves right with some of the founding
fathers, or Utah has Brigham Young,

411
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:53.319
which if you ask me what statues
they'd probably stick in the hall from Utah,

412
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:57.160
you wouldn't. You wouldn't finish saying
the two syllable name of the state.

413
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:00.640
And I would have said Brighamy,
you like, it's super predictable.

414
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.599
So for those of you who don't
know here, about a month and a

415
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:12.519
half ago we swapped out a statue
one of our two and implemented the late

416
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:17.160
Reverend Billy Graham. Now notice the
R right there with the reverend. So

417
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:24.119
I guess you can imagine what the
problem is. Ah, I'm gonna start

418
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:28.319
reading this. We're gonna and then
I'm gonna need more time and we'll get

419
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.880
calls. So if you want to
hang on and you're on the phone,

420
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.160
but I have to get this story
out to you. On May sixteenth,

421
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.279
the statue of the late Reverend Billy
Graham was unveiled in the US Capitol.

422
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:44.519
It's North Carolina's official entry in the
crypt of the US Capital for the people

423
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.480
of Graham's home state. And by
the way, the author knows that they're

424
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.920
gonna get shredded for this, it's
in the wording. But I don't know.

425
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:57.599
Maybe they feel that they're morally justified
when in reality they're giant hypocrites.

426
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:01.319
And I can test it in one
theory. For some the statue immortalizes a

427
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:07.039
man who was a staple on television
for close to sixty years and helped spread

428
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:13.319
the importance of religion and morality throughout
the United States for others. By erecting

429
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:19.000
the statue in the US Capital,
it immortalizes the word and teachings of Christianity.

430
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:23.279
We got us a controversy in an
op ed that appeared in the McClatchy

431
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:34.359
newspapers. We have a new problematic
statue. And I got to tell you,

432
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.279
you know, by the way,
the author of the article, Robert

433
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:45.119
Wiener, is a Clinton and he
was spokesman for Clinton and Bush white House.

434
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.559
Although I don't know that that's fair
to say mostly Clinton. I guess

435
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:53.279
they're trying to say that he is
bipartisan here, but he's clearly not unfamiliar

436
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:58.519
with him. But the idea that
we'd run this op ed and all the

437
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:07.760
McClatchy stuff complaining about the one month
and like what almost like almost forty five

438
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:13.360
day old Billy Graham statue that North
Carolina just put in their one of two

439
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.960
spots at the US Capitol is wild
to me. And look, this is

440
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:25.280
not about this is not about Congress
establishing a law like this is like so

441
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:36.119
many other things where you are of
the opinion that the Constitution is a living,

442
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:39.960
breathing document versus strict you know,
strict constructionists. Right, those two

443
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:45.599
lines of thoughts, you have expanded
it so massively so that you know they

444
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.880
were able to take privacy laws and
use it to create a right to abortion,

445
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:53.239
which, by the way, anyone
says, anyone who says abortion is

446
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:58.559
a right now you need to remind
them that no, it is not not

447
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:04.920
anymore. It's a separate issue that
is for the states. So that is

448
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.599
inaccurate language. I know everyone gets
very tied up, and that's just being

449
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.639
accurate. Right. It doesn't matter
how you feel about something, you need

450
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:15.880
to be accurate. So is Congress
doing a law here or is it just

451
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:23.880
the reality that some Americans or some
people who you may interact with, are

452
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:30.880
guided by religion. Some people are
guided by crystals or guided by just an

453
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:36.760
innate sense of their parents raised them
not to be a dirt bag? Do

454
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:44.039
you care why a person that you
enjoy being around or interacting not without getting

455
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:45.239
into the personal side of it,
right, because you know, once you

456
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:51.599
get into a friendship or any of
that, then you know those deeper conversations

457
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.840
may happen. But when I meet
somebody for the first time, I'm like,

458
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:59.000
oh, it's a nice guy.
That nice guy. I'll give an

459
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:05.119
example. Ross, uh uh Nick, Nick down the hall? What'd you

460
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.320
think first time you met him?
Good dude, funny dude, Yeah,

461
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.519
funny dude, nice dude. It's
funny. What church does he go to?

462
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.440
I have I have no clue.
Okay, no idea. I don't

463
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.639
care. What was What kind of
crystals does he have at his house?

464
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:22.199
Next to incense? I do not
know how If I guess, I would

465
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.960
go with the purple kind. Yeah, well, amethyst is of a cop

466
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.840
out because you can pretend you're not
a crystal person. Now you got to

467
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:34.760
go full spinny crystals and chants and
stuff. What was his childhood? Like?

468
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:39.679
Uh ah did it? It was
rough? It's to man, Okay,

469
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:44.039
so you don't know. He was
abandoned by kickboxing nuns. Did you

470
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:47.199
know that? Dude? You're gonna
I need you just yeah, I have

471
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:51.880
no idea. I have no clue. All right, Really, kickboxing nuns

472
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:55.119
are a thing I'm interested. Did
you see that they had some like slutty

473
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:01.639
nuns that were in Chicago, Like, like, there's some real weird bastards

474
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:06.159
that believe it or not, they're
not in the Catholic Church anymore. I've

475
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:09.599
seen some videos like before in the
past. Okay, no, this was

476
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:13.679
not that all right, anyway,
this thing has came up. The point

477
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:16.840
is I think Nick's a nice guy. Ross thinks Nick's a nice guy.

478
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.239
I don't care why he's a nice
guy, do you know what I mean?

479
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.679
So with Billy Graham, with Billy
Green, now you still have to

480
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.440
tell the story of the person,
because that's what you're capturing here. So

481
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:36.320
do you think that the only people
influenced by Billy Graham over the course of

482
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:42.760
his life were people who have the
same exact belief as as Billy Graham did.

483
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:47.880
No, And it's famously documented,
especially you know when you get into

484
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:52.480
when you get into the partisan politics. You know, you have Graham's interaction

485
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:57.239
with the Carter family. You have
people that are of other faiths, people

486
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:01.559
who are atheists. Because what ever
inspired Billy Graham to do what he did

487
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:09.480
and to create what we you know
what we still to this day see when

488
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:14.599
we're driving to Asheville, which uh, well, you want to talk about

489
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:19.199
Heaven and Hell being next to each
other, Holy cow. But like you

490
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.719
know, in in Lntreat, there
and Black Mountain in that area. And

491
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.800
then when you go when you go
to the worst places in the world,

492
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:32.599
you know who's there. Samaritan's purse. When I I told you, when

493
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:37.559
I was in Colombia and Ecuador in
the bad parts where you've got you know,

494
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:44.320
you're having to drive through there,
Samaritan's purse is there. They're you

495
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.679
know, they're out there doing stuff. And and I didn't see I saw

496
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:51.719
Samaritan's purse. There's some there're obviously
some religious imagery, and you're in Latin

497
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.920
America, so it's uh, you
know, very Catholic Christian ee. But

498
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:58.320
but you know, they're just out
there doing stuff. When COVID hit,

499
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.400
you remember Samaritan's purse. Literally he
was like, well, how about we

500
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:07.400
build you a hospital in Central Park
and they did, and if you remember,

501
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.800
a bunch of people got angry over
it, and they were literally they

502
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.199
were blocking entrances. At one point
they were telling people not to use it.

503
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:19.840
Your lawmakers telling people not to use
it. Those good works and acts,

504
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:23.719
while they may be inspired from a
uh you know, from Christ,

505
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.159
are not exclusive to people who put
their hand on the Bible and go yep,

506
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:37.880
save the soul, right So when
when good things are being done and

507
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:44.000
there is not some ulterior motive,
and I don't think by the way,

508
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.159
one, you know, sharing their
faith with somebody who may ask, is

509
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:52.239
an ulterior motive. That's dumb.
Ulterior motive would be like you have to

510
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:57.000
sign this and now you're part of
the church, because they don't and I

511
00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:59.880
don't see you down there setting these
things up right, and I'm not.

512
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.159
These are not pastors who go on
by g five's not getting it done anymore.

513
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:13.719
So for all of those positive works, can we just be like,

514
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:16.760
yeah, that was a good thing. But when you're then having to tell

515
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:22.239
the story of what inspired that individual, it is not inappropriate to explain who

516
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:30.280
they are. And Billy Graham was
a believer, and he and and it

517
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:37.039
inspired him to want to share that
message and to put together and and and

518
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:44.199
do things that benefit people. So
what is the author upset about? Well,

519
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.880
the author is upset because that part
of the story is included in there

520
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:59.800
as it should be. Just uh, let me reread this. For some

521
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:04.400
the statue immortalizes a man who is
a staple on television for close to sixty

522
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:08.360
years and spread the importance of religion
for others, it immortalizes the word and

523
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:13.719
teachings of Christianity and is indirect competition. No, it's not. And what

524
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.800
it immortalizes in this case is he's
holding a Bible. And yes, there

525
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:22.199
is a Bible verse on there.
And then there are two smaller inscriptions on

526
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:30.079
this because if you if you read
Graham's biography and and by the way,

527
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:35.320
you didn't have to probably guess that
John three point sixteen was a popular popular

528
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:42.159
verse, right, that is that
he is who he was, So I

529
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.159
you know, the expectation is that
the people that are in this the statue

530
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:51.960
hall, there are people that were
you know, did good things or move

531
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.199
things forward, or were inspiration or
whatever. But now you're telling the story

532
00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:01.039
of who they are. And Billy
Graham without a Bible is not Billy.

533
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:04.880
But also there's nothing there that says, if you want to go look at

534
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:10.039
the statue that you have to accept
Christ as your savior. The statue with

535
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:16.400
the Bible part of the statue is
open to two Corinthians. No, I'm

536
00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:22.360
kidding, Galatians six fourteen. And
then there are two lines inscribed very small

537
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:30.599
at debate of the statue, John
fourteen six and John three sixteen. Let's

538
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:32.639
see, and then Mike Johnson mentioned
them, so they're like, oh see

539
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:37.519
he mentioned them. He literally was
said, hey, you know people are

540
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:42.440
walking by and then they can see
that. Well, it is a great

541
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.039
accomplishment. Oh and then this is
the line that they write, just to

542
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:50.360
let you know that the like,
the author knows this is dumb. The

543
00:42:50.400 --> 00:43:00.239
author knows that this is dumb.
To be clear, this is little what

544
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:05.079
they wrote. To be clear,
we believe that Graham's statue deserves to stay.

545
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:09.880
It's the religious iconography and inscriptions that
cross the dividing line between church and

546
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:15.760
state, and they need to be
removed. You know what, let me

547
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:22.199
know what day you're going to be
hitting that with a grinding wheel, and

548
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:24.320
I bet you that you won't be
able to get into the statue hall with

549
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:30.039
a number of North Carolinians that will
go up there to stop you. You

550
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:35.280
absolute moon bets. Telling the story
of Billy Graham and not including what may

551
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:37.960
have motivated him is dumb. And
let me give you an example of why

552
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:44.800
I know this, and I want
to see these cowards do next. I

553
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:50.920
have another suggestion of a statue that
is equally as problem arguably more problematic,

554
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:53.920
that you need to get on right
away. And I would love for you

555
00:43:54.000 --> 00:44:00.159
to go ahead and handle this and
I will watch. Have you seen have

556
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:07.679
you been to the granite MLK statue? Right? I know it's the one

557
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:12.320
where it's like it's it's like his
profile is protruding from the solid block of

558
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.000
granite. It's not some people think
it's just that. It's not. It's

559
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:20.440
part of the whole thing is pretty
big. In fact, it's so big

560
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:29.079
that you have the statue of MLK, who was a religious man, and

561
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:35.119
the statue then opens to this flourishing
wall that is it's like five hundred it's

562
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:39.360
like five hundred feet. It's you
know, it's it's it's a couple it's

563
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:45.559
a couple foot or a football field
in three quarters a wall that extends from

564
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:52.559
it and then comes out and on
it is sermons, Mlk's sermons and there's

565
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:54.800
a lot of God mentions in there. I'm just gonna let you know.

566
00:44:55.239 --> 00:45:00.559
And the expectation is part of that
statue in the wall is that you you

567
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:07.400
read about the transitionary nature, and
it's sermons and it's obviously speeches, and

568
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:12.519
it culminates with that statue, which
is a relief of him in his hand

569
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.400
holding his I have a dream speech
as he mounted the stage in DC.

570
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:23.360
There's so much religious stuff on there, it's it's overwhelming for some people.

571
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:31.199
I suspect you're doing that? Is
that next? We're doing that next?

572
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:37.280
Because that sits on public property.
That's six stood on the park there.

573
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:40.800
As you get go down towards where
the Jefferson Memorial is directly adjacent to the

574
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:45.719
mall there so that they had enough
length to run, then when are we

575
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:52.320
canceling the MLK statue and sermon wall. You're not You're too much of a

576
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:57.760
coward to write that. Come on
McClatchy Publishing. I want to see the

577
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:08.000
op ed calling for the dismantling of
the MLK memorial there or at least grinding

578
00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:13.199
down the five hundred foot walls so
nobody, nobody has to be offended for

579
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:20.880
something that sits on public property and
was obviously you know, placed there and

580
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:24.960
had to go through the government allowing
it and overseeing it, right because they

581
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.360
those are that's federal property. It
sets up. Where is your MLK op

582
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:36.000
at? I want to see it? Or is this just about you being

583
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:38.440
butt heard over the fact that Billy
Graham was in there, and Mike Johnson

584
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:43.599
mentioned that there's Bible versus because that's
what I feel like we're dealing with.

585
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:52.880
And while people are aware that MLK
was, you know, a reverend and

586
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:57.639
a doctor and all of that stuff, the majority of people who look to

587
00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:02.440
MLK and and what it is is
that he was advocating for, don't I

588
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:07.119
I would argue, don't necessarily look
at it through a lens of religion.

589
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:12.280
Yet that was, among other things, the inspiration that was there. And

590
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:17.280
it's important to tell the story about
what inspired people like Billy Graham or inspired

591
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:23.840
you know, MLK Jr. Or
inspired anyone who we feel is important enough

592
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:31.360
to go ahead and find themselves adorned
in our in our capital. And I

593
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:36.480
know you're going to be shocked to
learn many of those folks were deeply religious

594
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:38.599
and were driven by that. But
at the end of the day, were

595
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:44.519
they good people? And did they
do good things? But no, we

596
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:50.000
gotta we gotta cancel Billy Graham.
You absolute lunatics. All right, quick

597
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:53.119
call here, she's been hanging on
Donna. What's up, Good morning,

598
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.119
casey morning. I'm wondering about a
minute and a half. But that was

599
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.679
the story I had to get into
zone. It's just a quick question.

600
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:05.239
Should should Biden do well tonight?
Should he still be seen as a sympathetic,

601
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:08.119
well meaning elderly man with a poor
memory, or should he be prosecuted

602
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:14.760
for willfully retaining classified documents? I
mean they want it both ways, right,

603
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:19.159
I think that uh, I think
that he should If he does well,

604
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:23.960
it doesn't matter, do you know
what I'm saying, Like all of

605
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:27.639
it. Yeah, we're gonna we'll
sit here and we're gonna spitball. But

606
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:32.239
maybe out there it doesn't matter.
The media is gonna you know what the

607
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:38.880
spin is gonna be. Oh yeah, yeah. So well personally, and

608
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:44.440
I'm sure many others believe that if
his memory is not that bad, then

609
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:49.199
he should be prosecuted for the same
thing that they're prosecuting Trump for, you

610
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.519
know, I mean having classified documentary. I understand that the debate doesn't the

611
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:57.559
debate doesn't matter, Like that's not
even material here. That's a that's a

612
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:01.920
that's a double standard that exists before
we ever get into this thing. Yeah

613
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.480
yeah, yeah, true. All
right, I've done. I gotta I

614
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:09.360
gotta roll, But thank you very
much. Oh oh, you're gonna say

615
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:14.239
something else, probably about cats.
So I did the world a favor.

616
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.679
Oh my gosh, do you think
that cat nips ever got laced with fentanyl?

617
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:27.039
That'd be everything else has? How
many stories have we done? So,

618
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:30.039
uh, we'll get your calls on
the MLK, So, oh good,

619
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:32.039
stop sending me. MLK was a
communist stuff. Call the show and

620
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:36.800
say that. Don't be the McClatchy
cowards. We'll be back. Was teasing

621
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:43.599
Stagic Ray Stagic about being an apologist
for The Acolyte, which, if you're

622
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:45.920
paying even a modicum of attention,
is, in the opinion of a lot

623
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:52.199
of Star Wars fans, the dumpster
fire of old dumpster fires, which is

624
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:59.280
saying something because you know the last
movie and then the one before that.

625
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.039
But I digress. Uh what was
it? What was it? He he

626
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:08.719
jumped to the defense. Oh it
was lesbian space switches. Right, He's

627
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:13.599
like, well, yeah, but
it's the Force is Given Birth to all

628
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:15.840
right, Fine, fine, fine, fine, you want to be an

629
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:21.440
apologist, we'll do The Acolyte.
He hadn't watched it yet, and uh,

630
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:23.519
we're gonna talk about this stuff with
Stephen Kennedaedo five. So I'm not

631
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:28.559
gonna deep dive it. But I
told Ray, I'm like, all right,

632
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.760
all right, man, we'll go
ahead and watch it and then you

633
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:37.440
can explain to me about you know, uh, the tree cutting part,

634
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:42.719
the scene of it. They how
you can just you can lightly head butt

635
00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:45.239
a lightsaber and break it rost.
Did you know you could just head butt

636
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:49.599
a lightsaber? And yeah, I
saw that. Did you see the haircut

637
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.360
thing? I do? That's it. That was the thing that I hit

638
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:54.599
him with yesterday. And he's like, all right, I gotta watch it.

639
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:58.920
So I am so happy I broke
up with Star Wars, or it

640
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:02.119
broke up with me somewhere after season
one of The Mandalorian. I haven't seen

641
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:06.599
anything after season one of The Mandaloria, and I'm so happy to avoid all

642
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:13.480
this yeah drama. Yeah. So
let's say hypothetically that there was think of

643
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:16.960
a who's a who's a really really
bad person you can think of in history

644
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:24.880
this, or think of two like
two really bad people that universally nobody likes.

645
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:30.039
All right, Angel Hernandez, Right, what no, he is the

646
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:35.679
worst? All right, Angel Hernandez
and Lebron James. Okay, right,

647
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:39.960
And let's say there you see Lebron's
all but hurt his kid getting didn't get

648
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:45.440
drafted first round anyway. So anyway, those two are there and they're you

649
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:51.559
know, they're awful, and uh, Lebron James or Angel Hernandez says,

650
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:55.119
hey, if you don't surrender,
I'm going to do something to Lebron James,

651
00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:00.679
who also is is a horrible person
in this scenario, do you surrender

652
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:07.320
all of your weaponry? And because
the bad guy threatened to kill the other

653
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:10.760
bad guy, so you're just like, nah, it's fine. There's so

654
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:15.440
many things and Stagic is going to
have to defend all that, so look

655
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:20.920
kind of looking forward to that.
All right, here's the deal this is.

656
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:23.360
Remember when I said, hey,
sometimes you just gotta pause and contemplate

657
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:30.639
stuff. I too noticed. I
noticed it when I was driving back from

658
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:35.960
Greensboro and after I was broadcasting there
was that two weeks ago we had the

659
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.039
vacation week, and I did see
it. But I was aware of what's

660
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:44.320
going on because there was a there
was a whole insane thing that happened in

661
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:50.039
Colorado, and that is the BUCkies
billboard. Right. If those of you

662
00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:54.880
who drive to and fro, or
maybe you live out and you know,

663
00:52:55.039 --> 00:53:00.119
Memon or further out and you commute
into the triangle or vice versa. But

664
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:06.280
you've seen the upside down BUCkies billboard. That's the thing, BUCkies. Does

665
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:09.400
you know why, because I'm talking
about it on the radio right now and

666
00:53:09.440 --> 00:53:13.079
you all are emailing me. Yeah, it's like it's like a Pedro thing.

667
00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:17.320
Yeah. Why does your mic sound
so different right now? Oh?

668
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:21.079
Okay, all right, Oh okay, I'm sorry. I didn't really I

669
00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:24.760
touch around the air. Yes,
yeah, pages Pedro have upside down billboards,

670
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:29.280
I guess, and they have wacky
billboards. There's some companies that embrace

671
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:32.719
billboards. Pedro's would be a good
example. Waldrug. How many of you

672
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:40.719
have driven across South Dakota. Holy
crap, Holy crap, man, so

673
00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:45.639
many billboards to the point where it
was fun. I was talking to one

674
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:51.440
guy, He's we really want to
go to Waldrow Waldr. I got so

675
00:53:51.639 --> 00:53:57.559
annoyed after the two hundred billboard,
I might screw you. So you go

676
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.280
to the mitell Corn Palace. Then
you watch the birds eat the bill That

677
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:02.920
is sort of like the natural progression
when you have one of those like campaigns,

678
00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:06.480
like a payroll south of the Border, where at first you're like,

679
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:07.960
oh, that's interesting, I might
stop and check that out. And then

680
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:12.159
like after the five thousand billboard,
you're like, screw this place. Yeah,

681
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:15.920
you form animosity for no reason,
right, because they're just they're out

682
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:22.079
there just doing business, trying to
do business. Not rational, but anyway.

683
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.199
Yeah, So they do upside down
billboards. And the reason I know

684
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:30.480
this is well, one, I've
seen them in other instances and I put

685
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:37.159
it together. But there so,
they opened a BUCkies in Colorado, and

686
00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:40.679
as you can imagine, a bunch
of the same, just like we have

687
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:45.519
environmental moon bats over the one in
Meban who basically got that project shut down

688
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:51.880
for years and other places, all
right, because initially it was going to

689
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:59.519
be closer to the Triangle and the
Chapel Hill contingent assembled. But in Colorado

690
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:07.960
they somehow basically the moonbats got a
narrative going that it was upside down because

691
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:13.079
whoever hung the billboard was on their
side, and it was like when you

692
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:17.880
hang an American flag upside down?
I kid you dot, And they started

693
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:22.400
that narrative like even the person hanging
the billboard is so concerned that this gas

694
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:28.760
station is going to destroy our beautiful
Colorado. Uh, you know, nature

695
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:32.800
don't Texas or Colorado. You know
what, let me say this, Colorado

696
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:37.920
needs some texasing and and actually Texas
needs a little colorado ing. But but

697
00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:43.280
yeah, and and like people just
thought that was the narrative. I laughed

698
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:47.719
my butt off reading that. It's
like you did no research to determine that

699
00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:52.119
that was. In fact, that's
how they do it. And you know

700
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:55.199
what mission accomplished. Look at all
that they just got. And Ross has

701
00:55:55.239 --> 00:56:01.559
talked glowingly about their bathrooms. Just
you know, there's things you can do

702
00:56:02.719 --> 00:56:07.119
out there, all right, real
quick before we get into the staging stuff.

703
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:13.920
Uh, I am the hot two
he meme is done. In fact,

704
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:19.719
I'm I'm canceling it. After I
had to watch Whoopy Goldbird on the

705
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:30.840
View. When discussing Donald Trump,
it would be remiss of us to not

706
00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:35.480
say till Biden knows how to do
this. Yes, he knows how to

707
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.639
do this. He's he's quite good
at this. And you know, you

708
00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:43.760
can't refute anything with him because he
just when I say him, I mean

709
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:53.440
Trump, he tends to just But
can I mention one thing that was the

710
00:56:53.440 --> 00:57:00.519
sound of Whoopy Goldberg doing doing a
spitting she spit or did the uh you

711
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.719
know, as like the hok towy
girl. So now in my mind,

712
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:10.559
hot tooy will be Goldberg. Associated
how's your breakfast going? Everyone? Is

713
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:14.119
that good? You know? The
memes made it to Facebook too, which

714
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:15.880
is super scary because now you have
to explain it to like your mom and

715
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:23.119
your grandma. Yes, and by
the way, can you imagine you're whoever's

716
00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:27.920
dating will be Goldberg? She pulls
that move and now half your body's covered

717
00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:31.559
and partially chewed cake, So like, you don't want this, you don't

718
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:38.360
see that's with my mind. I'm
like daw and now it's done, so

719
00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:43.599
we'll retire that all right. Here
He has raced agic from the Weather Channel

720
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:47.599
to defend haircuts with lightsabers, which
break when you head butt them. And

721
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:52.920
uh, why a good guy would
surrender because a bad guy threatened to kill

722
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:58.280
another bad guy? Well, have
you seen the light yet? I I

723
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:00.960
thought you were gonna see a lot, a lot more of a haircut.

724
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:05.159
I mean that was just oh my, what do you want? Bart?

725
00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:07.119
You want the movie barber Shop,
but with lightsabers? I mean, what

726
00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:12.760
is this? Uh? And I
will say too, I was disappointed of

727
00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:16.960
the unmasking of who that was.
I was thinking Sidious or some other dark

728
00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:22.119
Lord or somebody from the some more
familiar type of lineage. And there was

729
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:27.199
a lot of lightsaber fighting in it, so that really kind of was there.

730
00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:29.079
I couldn't see it. It was
all the way in the woods.

731
00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:34.639
It's all the way over there.
Yeah, it was so there there.

732
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:37.480
There there was a lot going on
there. There was a lot going on

733
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:39.519
there. But yeah, you are, you are, thank you, sir.

734
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:44.000
May I have another just yeah from
Animal House? So that's fine,

735
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:46.920
that's fine. Yeah, I mean
it was it was I thought, you

736
00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:51.079
know, I thought you were talking
like you know, like completely like shaved

737
00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:53.960
off of the lightsaber. I mean
you kind of kind of stretched the imagination

738
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:58.039
there. What I did I did
In no way did I stretched the imagination.

739
00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:00.760
I said that somebody gave them sells
a haircut with a lightsaber. It

740
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:05.039
was like accurate. No, you
were not, you were not. I

741
00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:07.519
was. I was expecting more though, that That's all I'm saying. And

742
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:13.360
my expectations are usually like like a
floaby saber or something like yeah oh yeah,

743
00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:15.960
yeah, like almost like they were
like completely gonna go bald and like

744
00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:22.480
ship just kind of do it that
way, not like one with that whip

745
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:25.960
saber. Huh yeah, that'd be
fun. Huh yeah, that was pretty

746
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:30.559
deep and everything. All right,
go ahead and cook everybody before you get

747
00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:36.760
out of mister staging. Sneaking off
early today, Yeah but uh yeah,

748
00:59:36.840 --> 00:59:38.239
sneaking off and getting out just in
time for the rain to come back.

749
00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:42.480
Right. A few showers a couple
around town this morning. Uh, here

750
00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:44.960
and there. Most of them have
been north of the triangle, to the

751
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:47.400
west, some of the mountains.
Try doing okay, clouds and some sun

752
00:59:47.519 --> 00:59:52.400
storms will be back the nineties or
near ninety. You'll feel a little more

753
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:54.039
sticky with the heated next the next
few days and may get back to the

754
00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:58.840
mid nineties for someone so over the
weekend and the scattered storms will be around.

755
00:59:58.840 --> 01:00:00.840
So if you're going to be out
in a bat eighes and ears to

756
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:04.880
the sky, humidity is really what
the bigger change is, thus leading to

757
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:09.320
the uncomfortable heat and decease Triangle again, Heat advisory today. I'm gonna keep

758
01:00:09.360 --> 01:00:13.119
rising the tropics. Do you have
a wave comeing across the Atlantic? Seventy

759
01:00:13.159 --> 01:00:15.920
percent chance of that developing in the
next seven days, and by this weekend

760
01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:20.760
may become a depression or tropical storm, but still a long ways away.

761
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:23.079
And when I get back next week
on Tuesday, we'll still be talking about

762
01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:27.079
it being probably in the Atlantic,
So it looks like that's going to hold

763
01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:32.960
together. I saw your colleagues excitedly
posting spaghetti this morning. Not as excited

764
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:38.679
though as the Padawan girl boss who
was able to defeat a Sith who was

765
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:45.719
able to take five trained Jedi knights, because that tracks you're just a hater,

766
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:47.800
all right, get out of here, Get out of here for you

767
01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:52.079
to take care of guys. Yeah, yeah, right, that's the math.

768
01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:53.760
Right. Remember that game Ross you
talked about that we had where you

769
01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:59.039
could like, what would win one
hundred jesus Is or ten thousand Roman soldiers?

770
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:04.440
Right, actually we know that one. But in this case it's five

771
01:01:04.679 --> 01:01:08.119
trained Jedi knights, one Sith,
and then in round two, one Sith

772
01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:16.519
versus a Rando girl balls. This
is why we make fun of it,

773
01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:20.840
and to help us do it or
to defend it. We'll see where he's

774
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:24.760
at. We're gonna chat with our
NERD correspondent Steven Kent coming up here at

775
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:28.920
eight oh five. So you don't
want to miss that. We got an

776
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:35.559
airport incident that we got to get
into and the what a burger insanity.

777
01:01:35.559 --> 01:01:37.639
I'm gonna lay that out for you
coming up next. Hang on phone number

778
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:42.760
eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. Keep that handy in

779
01:01:42.800 --> 01:01:47.360
case you hear something that we're talking
about with our guests with the button there.

780
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:54.599
Stephen Kent. I refer to him
quite affectionately as our nerd correspondent and

781
01:01:57.159 --> 01:02:00.039
space switch justifier. How you doing
this morning, Stephen? What's up man?

782
01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:05.840
The space the space which justifier is
doing well? Good? Good,

783
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:07.880
Good to hear from you, if
it makes you feel okay. Our weather

784
01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:14.760
guy like came a full throated defense
of acolytes, so he gets it on

785
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:20.079
a weekly basis. You should give
him a wedgie weggie and shove him in

786
01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:23.159
a locker. No. I was
not that guy, but I do play

787
01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:27.599
one on the radio. I like
the nerd stuff. I just like the

788
01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:31.239
stuff that has continuity. I don't
feel like I'm being preached to. I

789
01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:37.960
don't feel like they're bastardizing a product
that I've loved. I arguably you could.

790
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:44.800
It does create a certain amount of
toxicity, but nerd culture has always

791
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:46.320
had a certain amount of toxicity.
You would agree with that, right,

792
01:02:47.519 --> 01:02:52.159
Yeah, I would agree with that. And it's gotten particularly virulent since you

793
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:57.079
know the rise of YouTube commentary,
and you know, if you want to

794
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:01.559
like basically get online and watch reviews
of given shows, particularly Star Wars,

795
01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:08.800
you're watching performers who are modeling political
talk. You've got YouTube reviewers who are

796
01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:14.239
just basically trying to be the best
Sean Hannity, you know, or Tucker

797
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:19.239
Carlson but for nerd stuff. And
then you've got people, particularly on Twitter

798
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:22.519
and other parts of YouTube, who
are trying to give their best joy read

799
01:03:22.559 --> 01:03:27.840
and Rachel Maddow reviews of Star Wars. It's liberal and conservative and it's all

800
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:31.960
just people pretending to be political commentators
and dragging Star Wars into it. Is

801
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:39.960
that on fans or is that on
the a I now, I'm not approaching

802
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:45.000
this as a scientist, but you
would have a hard time convincing me that

803
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:52.360
there are less political hot button issues
in today's we'll call it sci fi,

804
01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:54.800
superhero genre, whatever you want to
call it, but that's not to say

805
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:58.719
that it didn't exist. You know, Star Trek is a good example,

806
01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:01.719
right, the racial kiss and you
had you had a lot of stuff that

807
01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:06.159
you know was was definitely political or
at least top button for its day,

808
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:11.880
but you'd have a hard time convincing
me that it was. It's not more

809
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:15.239
now, you know what I'm saying, because I think there are some people

810
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:17.679
who do, Like the people who
were doing Star Trek back in the day,

811
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:19.800
are Star Wars back in the day, we're doing it, and even

812
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:25.000
though there may have been politics in
there, their primary thing was I want

813
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:27.719
to tell this great story. I
want people to love this thing that we've

814
01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:31.199
created. Where I feel like when
I watched these interviews like with the with

815
01:04:31.239 --> 01:04:34.639
the the Acolyte lady, I was
watching some of her clips, I feel

816
01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:39.840
like she's in it, or that
Disney executive is like, we're gonna shoehorn

817
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:44.079
in, you know, any gay
storylines we can. I feel like that's

818
01:04:44.119 --> 01:04:47.880
what they're in it for before the
product. Is that unfair? No,

819
01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:50.719
I don't think that that's unfair at
all. I mean a lot of the

820
01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:56.360
people who are rising to the top
of the Disney chain, and we've heard

821
01:04:56.360 --> 01:05:00.199
a lot of controversies out of Disney
just in the past couple of day,

822
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:06.960
you know, is that these are
people who prioritize activism over artistic expression,

823
01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:11.039
or they try to roll the two
things together. This is all true,

824
01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:17.000
but it just also happens to be
true that the media environment is one where

825
01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:25.159
I think fans are going to creators
and reviewers online and outsourcing their thinking on

826
01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:30.199
shows to reviewers. It used to
be the case that people would watch a

827
01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:32.079
show, they would discuss it around
the dinner table, maybe argue about it

828
01:05:32.119 --> 01:05:35.119
at the water cooler when they went
to work. But they were having to

829
01:05:35.159 --> 01:05:39.960
form and articulate their own opinions on
what they saw on television. And when

830
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:44.559
I talked to Star Wars fans,
particularly conservative Star Wars fans, they are

831
01:05:44.599 --> 01:05:48.519
all repeating well known YouTubers who I
watch their reviews as well, nerd ryme,

832
01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:54.320
critical, drinker geeks and gamers.
Yeah, and they are saying the

833
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:57.920
same things they said. And I
go, okay, I know what's YouTube

834
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:01.360
channels you watch? Because you're just
repeating someone else's review think for yourself.

835
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:04.559
Yeah, well, and we look
we run into it here. In fact,

836
01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:08.440
Ross and I were just having an
all fair discussion about this where people

837
01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:15.400
call in, and I asked myself, is I saw the same tweet?

838
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:17.039
Do you know what I'm saying because
I you know, I didn't scroll that,

839
01:06:17.239 --> 01:06:25.880
and it's like, but also I
balance it with that is how they

840
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:30.920
feel, because it's who they are
and it is their politics. But they're

841
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:35.119
not as good as Critical Drinker in
putting together a way to express it.

842
01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:42.920
And so it it validates a feeling
that they may have arrived at but weren't

843
01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:46.239
able to verbalize as well as somebody
who does it professionally, like me or

844
01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.880
you, right, we professionally,
well, we like to think we do.

845
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:54.480
Sometimes I wonder how we're employed,
but but you know, this is

846
01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:59.559
what we do. And if people
need the words, are words or Critical

847
01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:04.480
Drinker and it is how they feel? Is that really dishonest? That's a

848
01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:08.599
wonderful point, and I'm gonna I'm
gonna echo that. I think that that's

849
01:07:08.719 --> 01:07:13.039
true. That is the role that
commentary plays. It helps bring voice to

850
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.760
how people are feeling and put it
in a coherent package. And that is

851
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:18.760
part of what we do for a
living. So you know, I'm not

852
01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:24.199
gonna not gonna dunk on that at
all. But jobs come out, Yeah,

853
01:07:24.239 --> 01:07:26.320
I'll come out. I'll come out
and show my cards. Though,

854
01:07:26.400 --> 01:07:30.320
casey, I I don't like the
Accolyte, the Accolade I have found to

855
01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:35.039
be like really really low tier Star
Wars television. You know if The Mandalorian

856
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:41.360
is like an AMC level television show, and the Ahsoka Show and and or

857
01:07:41.400 --> 01:07:45.760
like HBO or Showtime level. You
know, this feels to me like ABC

858
01:07:46.119 --> 01:07:50.599
team television free Form. I don't
know if you've ever watched anything on there

859
01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:56.320
had teenagers who watch the kind of
garbage that's on Freeform TV, but this

860
01:07:56.440 --> 01:08:01.280
show feels bottom tier. With the
exception episode five, which premiered just a

861
01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:06.280
couple of days ago this week,
I have never seen a more insane light

862
01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:10.880
shaber battle than the one that they
yeah for episode five, Well you didn't

863
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:15.199
see it. You saw it like
through the trees, like for a little

864
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:18.159
while. Yeah, for a little
while like that. And and look,

865
01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:20.520
people are going to fixate on the
haircut, and I like to make fun

866
01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:26.359
of that. But you know what, the thing that will kill something for

867
01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:29.560
me, and I'm a horror fan, so I run into this all the

868
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:33.840
time is I don't understand your decision, not you, but but the character

869
01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:39.680
in there. Like if if two
bad guys and one starting to kill the

870
01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:42.960
other one and you're the good guy. Do you surrender? Right? You

871
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:45.159
have to convince me that that's the
right thing to do. And I want

872
01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:48.319
to say, I want to say
one other thing. I agree with you

873
01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:51.680
that I think people should also give
things a critical thinking. And I'll give

874
01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:56.880
you an example. Did you see
the photo of the new Clark Kent that

875
01:08:57.159 --> 01:09:01.680
was No, I'm not Oh,
I'm sorry, uh, Ross it's on

876
01:09:01.720 --> 01:09:04.960
our Twitter. Will you? Will
you send that to Steven want to talking

877
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:09.079
to him to scroll down? And
posted it last night? Oh, I'm

878
01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:12.960
sorry, Uh, there was.
They have a photo of the new Clark

879
01:09:13.039 --> 01:09:16.520
Kent from who is it Zack Snyder's
doing? Who's doing that? Who's directing

880
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:19.840
the new Superman movie? Where they
didn't need Henry Cavill anymore? Is that's

881
01:09:20.359 --> 01:09:24.279
I think it's James gun Yeah,
it's right, James Gunner was Snyder and

882
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:27.239
that's going to gun all right.
So so and so here's the thing you

883
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:30.960
look at. My initial reaction was
he's got like the he's got like the

884
01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:36.000
it doesn't look like Clark Kent.
That that you know that in my mind,

885
01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:40.520
Henry Cavell did. And of course, uh, you know back in

886
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:45.199
the day, christ uh I who
by the way, who's your favorite Superman?

887
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:50.960
Oh? I think I would have
to go with Henry Cavell. Yeah,

888
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:55.159
okay, all right? And and
I saw this and my initial reaction

889
01:09:55.319 --> 01:09:57.760
is, what's up with broccolihead here? What are we doing? Yeah?

890
01:09:58.039 --> 01:10:01.840
Ross just texted it to you.
That was my initial reaction. But then

891
01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:04.880
I gave it a think. I
thought about it a little, and I

892
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:10.920
said, you know what, that's
Clark Kent. I have to see what

893
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:16.279
Superman looks like because for all of
these years it was Clark Kent's glasses,

894
01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:19.520
did all the right, did all
the disguising, to the point that it

895
01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:27.319
was a trope and ready player one
and and and so if he is trying

896
01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:30.520
to be Clark Kent on one side
and Superman on the other, and Superman

897
01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:34.720
looks like Superman, maybe my initial
reaction isn't fair. What do you think

898
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:38.319
when you look at that picture?
Does that scream? Does that like Clark

899
01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:44.479
Kent to you? I've never seen
Clark Kent with curly hair? This is

900
01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:48.000
this is this is a strange one. I'm almost I'm almost not even convinced

901
01:10:48.039 --> 01:10:51.960
that we're supposed to take it seriously, like it's it's just a shot from

902
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:56.920
a movie. We haven't seen yet, like maybe he's maybe he's wearing a

903
01:10:57.000 --> 01:11:00.880
wig. TI. Yeah, I
was about to say, see where wig?

904
01:11:00.039 --> 01:11:04.359
And then he takes it off to
become Superman, does he? Well,

905
01:11:04.359 --> 01:11:08.199
he's in the phone booth. He
puts the hair gel and slicks it.

906
01:11:08.199 --> 01:11:14.000
Ba is it with the lights?
Oh my god? Yeah, to

907
01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:18.119
mock the haircut. When I think
about Superman though, actually, actually I

908
01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:24.800
should probably say that I actually really
like Brandon Ruth as Superman when he did

909
01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:28.399
Superman Returns in two thousand and six, because my favorite Superman movie of all

910
01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:32.840
time is with Kevin Spacey as Lex
Luthor Superman Returns. That was that was

911
01:11:32.840 --> 01:11:38.159
for me, the peak of Superman
movies. And you know, I don't

912
01:11:38.199 --> 01:11:43.800
know. I've just found always Superman
to be such a bland character. Like

913
01:11:43.960 --> 01:11:47.800
as a hero, I think anybody
can play him relatively well. Would you?

914
01:11:47.840 --> 01:11:54.520
Would you disagree? It depends what
you're trying to get out of it.

915
01:11:54.920 --> 01:12:00.039
Look, Batman and Superman have been
around so long in pop culture that

916
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:05.920
people can equally like the Bam poo
Blam Batman and the Nolan Batman, right

917
01:12:06.319 --> 01:12:12.159
and you and which are nothing to
like? Right, So people are willing

918
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:15.680
to evolve and see different versions of
it, as long as you're putting out

919
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:18.760
a product that is considered a quality
product at the time. So you know,

920
01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:23.439
there's big names attached, and the
idea that maybe he does go into

921
01:12:23.479 --> 01:12:26.840
the booth and his uh, you
know, his alien hair pops straight.

922
01:12:27.479 --> 01:12:30.039
What Who the hell knows? But
I will tell you this, If he's

923
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:35.119
buff, if he's buzzing around in
a cape and with laser eyes and he's

924
01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:39.720
got that do on, I'm out
because it just doesn't work for me.

925
01:12:40.680 --> 01:12:45.560
I think he needs a Jerry Curl. I don't even want to. Are

926
01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:49.319
you like coming to America soul glow
kind of stuff for me? What are

927
01:12:49.319 --> 01:12:55.239
you looking? Yeah, yeah,
Superman, Superman new age, Jerry Curl,

928
01:12:55.560 --> 01:12:58.319
you know, round glasses. It
could be it could be a real

929
01:12:58.399 --> 01:13:02.479
hit. What do he needs?
Are those glasses that really really really smart

930
01:13:02.479 --> 01:13:09.560
feminists wear and all the interview shows, you know, the blocky, chunky

931
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:15.680
things. So Leslie head Lindy can
go on TV and say, well Superman's

932
01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:19.560
always been really gay. Well and
that's the other thing too, uh And

933
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:25.319
you see you saw it not just
in who was it was? What was

934
01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:30.359
what's her name? From the Cosby
show the young who was saying that who

935
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:34.000
is a lesbian by the way,
Yeah, Raven Simone was. I saw

936
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:38.680
her being interviewed, and she is
a lesbian. But it was interesting because

937
01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:43.279
she said that producers wanted to make
her character gay, and she pushed back,

938
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:47.800
uh, you know, why did
she do that? She just she

939
01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:51.359
she said, this is the character
and and that just because it's part of

940
01:13:51.399 --> 01:13:55.560
my identity doesn't necessarily mean it needs
to work here. And I think she

941
01:13:55.640 --> 01:13:59.880
kind of felt like they thought that
she would just snap into line because she

942
01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:02.880
is a lesbian, when in reality
she's like, no, I want I

943
01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:08.560
want this to be a character that
people like. And that's interesting. Yeah,

944
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:13.039
no, I found that very interesting. But and then I just got

945
01:14:13.079 --> 01:14:17.319
sidetracked as to where I was going. But you know, the fact is

946
01:14:17.359 --> 01:14:24.399
that the retroactive reassigning of things that
are you know, a little hot buttony,

947
01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:28.760
a little political like even you know, I know she is the the

948
01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:33.760
is is now hated among the very
progressives out there. But she did not

949
01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:39.199
serve she did not do any service
to herself when the author of the Harry

950
01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:45.520
Potter books is out there retroactively assigning
sexual preference to characters only to find herself

951
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:51.279
now cut off because she has opinions
about women in sports. Right, That's

952
01:14:51.359 --> 01:14:56.239
the stuff that I think draws people
and drives people to go. You know

953
01:14:56.319 --> 01:15:00.000
what, that Scottish dude who's probably
got a drinking problem, he's also got

954
01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:04.359
figured out, or it's a Gundam
or Nerdrotic or any of the rest people

955
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:08.840
I think are going to seek Look, it's like anything else you seek out

956
01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:13.399
on and it's not a good thing
to only do it, but we seek

957
01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:17.439
out in many cases and gravitate towards
people who tend to agree with us because

958
01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:23.000
they verbalize what it is we think, Yeah, I think it's true.

959
01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:27.079
And I think the one thing I
would caution to anybody listening to this who

960
01:15:27.119 --> 01:15:30.199
loves, you know, watching Star
Wars and sci fi and fantasy stories,

961
01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:34.039
is when you're going out and seeking
out a review, you need to consider

962
01:15:34.119 --> 01:15:40.039
the words of the author Upton Sinclair, who has this really great quote,

963
01:15:40.039 --> 01:15:45.279
and it says it is difficult to
get a man to understand something when his

964
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:50.439
salary depends upon not understanding it.
You could apply this to a lobbyist.

965
01:15:50.479 --> 01:15:56.720
You can't convince a lobbyist for industry
to argue against the industry that they represent.

966
01:15:56.800 --> 01:16:00.560
That is not their job. And
if you have an audience on YouTube

967
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:05.039
and your entire audience is based around
not liking things, being angry about Disney,

968
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:11.840
or criticizing things, there's no financial
incentive for you to gush or enjoy

969
01:16:12.039 --> 01:16:15.680
anything that you ever watch. You
can't get someone to understand something when their

970
01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:20.600
salary depends on not understanding it.
I you know, a lot of people

971
01:16:20.600 --> 01:16:25.159
will say that they're done, they'll
cut off all Disney products, or they'll

972
01:16:25.159 --> 01:16:27.880
cut off all, you know,
insert whatever the company is. And the

973
01:16:27.920 --> 01:16:30.159
reality is, I think that you
can go out and you can find stuff

974
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:34.319
that works, especially with a legacy
company like that. There's so much good,

975
01:16:34.439 --> 01:16:40.760
high quality entertainment over the years that
Disney arguably the most. Would you

976
01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:46.079
agree that Disney has been the most
influential entertainment company in in you know,

977
01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:49.840
modern history, in the world,
perhaps, but at least in the United

978
01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:55.000
States. I would yeah, easily. Yeah, because you're getting to miss

979
01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:57.880
kids, you know, you're getting
to them as kids, and you're creating

980
01:16:57.920 --> 01:17:00.960
lifelong consumers. So I think consumers
can go and you know, and pick

981
01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:06.479
and choose, like a smorcasboard over
there, But you know, I don't

982
01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:10.880
know that I would criticize people who
are upset with the current crop, because

983
01:17:10.920 --> 01:17:15.680
that's like the natural that's the national
or the natural evolution for most consumers.

984
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:18.319
Right, you grow older and you're
like kids these days you like what you

985
01:17:18.479 --> 01:17:23.560
used to like. So I just
got about thirty seconds. I was going

986
01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:26.680
to go in a different direction,
but unfortunately we're out of time. Well,

987
01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:29.880
good conversation, man, You're gonna
keep watching it so we can keep

988
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:34.680
doing this. I will. I
will keep watching any Star Wars they put

989
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:38.760
out and try to be fair minded
about it. Yeah, all right,

990
01:17:38.880 --> 01:17:41.960
very good, Steven Kent. Thank
you very much, sir, do appreciate

991
01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:45.239
it. We'll chat next week,
okay with you. I see what you

992
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:47.079
did there, all right? Well, oh and then I just hung up

993
01:17:47.079 --> 01:17:49.640
about him. I didn't mean to. Actually was gonna put them on hold.

994
01:17:49.640 --> 01:17:55.000
But that's okay. We'll chat with
Steven again next week. All right.

995
01:17:55.359 --> 01:17:58.359
We got a lot to get to
in the final final moments of the

996
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:01.159
show, so hang on. All
right. So you guys know the chain?

997
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:05.279
What a burger right, Texas based
out of Texas. You ever eating

998
01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:08.880
at a Whateburger or else? You
ever eat at a Whataburger. Uh,

999
01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:12.600
nope, no, okay, we
don't have any in North Carolina kind of

1000
01:18:13.439 --> 01:18:17.840
yet, but the chain is they
have plans. They're expanding now into the

1001
01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:24.680
state of North Carolina. But they're
all over the place. But North Carolina

1002
01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:30.680
has something that's kind of unique.
North Carolina has What a Burgers, but

1003
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:39.720
not those Whataburgers. They have What
a Burger thirteen, which there is a

1004
01:18:42.199 --> 01:18:47.039
there's a bunch of what used to
be part of one local or regional chain,

1005
01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:53.760
this Whataburger thirteen, although now some
of those locations over the years have

1006
01:18:53.880 --> 01:19:00.680
gone to different owners. But you
know, the Whataburger moniker persists. Well.

1007
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:08.000
As the Texas Whataburger moves into North
Carolina, they have decided to sue

1008
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:15.920
the What a Burger Thirteen's basically saying
that there'll be consumer confusion. You can't

1009
01:19:15.920 --> 01:19:19.640
do that, And we saw that
story initially. That wasn't too surprising to

1010
01:19:19.680 --> 01:19:27.640
me, although I would point out
that let's see here, I want to

1011
01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:30.720
make sure I have the dates right
when you go back, and you have

1012
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:36.640
to go back to the nineteen fifties. These are both very old restaurants,

1013
01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:45.560
and actually it was let's see here, nineteen fifty seven, when the Texas

1014
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:53.000
based Whataburger applied for and receive federal
trademark rights, So that's what you're going

1015
01:19:53.079 --> 01:19:57.840
to base on this part of your
lawsuit off of They then open their first

1016
01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:00.279
out of state location, which is
an important thing when you're trying to figure

1017
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:05.680
this out because it's if you're in
just one state and then you cross over

1018
01:20:05.720 --> 01:20:11.680
into another state, it kind of
changes the game. So with that in

1019
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:21.159
mind, the first what a Burger
in North Carolina actually predates that federal trademark,

1020
01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:27.760
and in fact, there was actually
one in Virginia two that predated it,

1021
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:32.319
though not owned by the same So
technically you're dealing with three entities there.

1022
01:20:34.319 --> 01:20:45.119
Let's see here the first Whataburger again
trademark nineteen fifty seven. The first

1023
01:20:45.760 --> 01:20:50.279
what a Burger North Carolina traces its
roots to Kannapolis in nineteen fifty six,

1024
01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:55.199
so a year before, and then
they had multiple I think they had fifteen

1025
01:20:55.239 --> 01:21:00.479
locations at one point. Now,
the moniker what a Burger thirteen didn't go

1026
01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:05.159
into use until sixty nine, where
they added the but was still a derivative

1027
01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:10.880
of so there's a little complexity to
it. But the point is that both

1028
01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:15.800
started around the same time both were
expanding, but it was the Texas one

1029
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:20.079
that went and got the federal trademark
and they never did business in North Carolina.

1030
01:21:20.159 --> 01:21:27.279
And we found out that they actually
had a confidential agreement basically, and

1031
01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:30.840
we don't know the totality of what's
in it, but what a Burger Texas

1032
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:34.960
and what a Burger North Carolina previously
sat down a number of years ago and

1033
01:21:35.000 --> 01:21:40.680
put together, you know, an
agreement that they were both satisfied with.

1034
01:21:41.039 --> 01:21:43.760
And I don't know the details,
but I'm sure it had to do with

1035
01:21:43.920 --> 01:21:48.039
where you can advertise, what you
can call products, things like that,

1036
01:21:49.000 --> 01:21:56.159
and that's not unusual because it's not
really it's not necessarily a good pub for

1037
01:21:56.319 --> 01:22:02.439
the big company. So if you're
not even doing business in a state going

1038
01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:09.319
over and so do you remember when
the Monster was it the cable they made

1039
01:22:09.359 --> 01:22:13.079
like the stereo cables, and they
went around and just decided to sue anything

1040
01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:17.079
with the word monster in it.
Everybody thought that they It literally crushed any

1041
01:22:17.439 --> 01:22:21.560
positive vibes for that company. And
I say, you can't just sue somebody

1042
01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:26.800
because they have the word monster somewhere
in their name and arguably have been in

1043
01:22:26.840 --> 01:22:31.840
business longer than you. So the
North Carolina What a Burger claims that actually

1044
01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:35.840
the Texas one violated the terms of
the agreement in twenty twenty two, but

1045
01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:42.239
they took no action, which if
you take no action, that in and

1046
01:22:42.279 --> 01:22:46.520
of itself is kind of a legal
quagmire too, because you're putting up with

1047
01:22:46.560 --> 01:22:50.319
something you know to be wrong,
and there are timelines that judges are going

1048
01:22:50.359 --> 01:22:55.520
to look at. However, it
was at the end of last year when

1049
01:22:55.720 --> 01:22:59.680
Whataburger, Texas, who had announced
plans to move into North Carolina, all

1050
01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:03.920
of us sudden said, well,
What a Burger North Carolina violated the terms

1051
01:23:03.960 --> 01:23:08.880
of our agreement, and now we're
suing. And at What a Burger thirteen

1052
01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.399
said, well, you guys violated
it two years ago, and we just

1053
01:23:11.479 --> 01:23:17.279
let by guns be byguns. So
now they're coming in and I don't know,

1054
01:23:17.279 --> 01:23:20.560
it's just not a good look,
man, when you're trying to break

1055
01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:30.159
into a state and your opening volley
is to sue mom and pops because they're

1056
01:23:30.199 --> 01:23:36.399
not all owned by the same people
they Oh, and by the way,

1057
01:23:36.439 --> 01:23:42.680
that the agreement with What a Burger
dates back to nineteen seventy, this agreement,

1058
01:23:42.720 --> 01:23:47.239
so they were living in peace for
you know, fifty some years and

1059
01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:50.520
now as you're coming into the state, you want to sue mom and pop

1060
01:23:50.560 --> 01:23:55.760
businesses because again some of these are
owned like where they own one or two,

1061
01:23:57.720 --> 01:24:02.840
especially around Charlotte. I think that
Vigil only owns two. You're going

1062
01:24:02.880 --> 01:24:10.640
to irritate people because we're protectionist.
It feels like you're a big company coming

1063
01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:15.880
into a very, very filled market. And North Carolina was always a very

1064
01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:19.159
interesting burger market. There's a reason
burger companies didn't come to North Carolina.

1065
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:28.239
And if you haven't been here for
more than fifteen years, how many of

1066
01:24:28.279 --> 01:24:33.239
you remember the burger hamburger laws in
North Carolina more than ten years ago?

1067
01:24:33.840 --> 01:24:38.159
Ross do you remember? Do you
remember that from I think it's faded into

1068
01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:44.000
into the past for people. North
Carolina used to have a law that prohibited

1069
01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:47.479
and I'm probably not going to get
one hundred percent accurate, but prohibited being

1070
01:24:47.520 --> 01:24:55.680
able to name the temperature of how
you want your burger cooked. So there

1071
01:24:55.800 --> 01:24:58.800
was it was very There were a
couple other things. And so if you're

1072
01:24:58.840 --> 01:25:02.800
running a burger joint where even if
you're using high quality beef and you didn't

1073
01:25:03.159 --> 01:25:09.880
you couldn't serve a medium rare burger. Well that is, that's heresy to

1074
01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:15.039
some people who are really into burgers, and it kept different companies from entering

1075
01:25:15.079 --> 01:25:17.640
the market here. Well, that
hasn't existed for over a decade. They

1076
01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:21.640
got rid of that, and so
it has expanded greatly. You got five

1077
01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:25.920
guys, came in a variety of
others. So, if you want to

1078
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:31.319
enter this busy, busy product sector
and your first act is to financially go

1079
01:25:31.399 --> 01:25:40.119
after a company that has been established
as long as you or at least predates

1080
01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:45.560
your trademark, you just look like
a big bully sewing momded pop companies and

1081
01:25:46.119 --> 01:25:48.479
I for the life, And you
don't understand this. Now, I checked

1082
01:25:48.479 --> 01:25:53.840
out. I checked out both their
menus and look, are there burgers and

1083
01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:57.920
are there different derivatives of burgers that
you expect to see at a burger joint,

1084
01:25:57.960 --> 01:26:02.399
like a bacon cheeseburger. Yes,
you can get a bacon cheeseburger at

1085
01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:05.720
both of them. Does that mean
one's copying the other? Hell no,

1086
01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:11.239
you get a bacon cheese a bacon
cheeseburger. Damn near any place that sells

1087
01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:15.800
bacon cheese and burgers. So I
don't feel that this is going to be

1088
01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:19.439
overly positive. However, we got
a lot of transplants who maybe lived where

1089
01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:25.319
Whataburger was, and people like Whataburger, like Whataburger, So we'll see.

1090
01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:30.920
All right. It is eight forty
four Acoda radio program and Race stag It

1091
01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:35.720
from the Weather Channel is standing by. Do your things or a couple pop

1092
01:26:35.800 --> 01:26:40.439
up showers, Casey. This morning, most of the steadier light rain is

1093
01:26:40.439 --> 01:26:43.560
out into the mountains off to our
northeast, up near Virginia Beach. But

1094
01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:45.880
that's even starting to move off shore
if it hasn't already. But do you

1095
01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:48.600
have a hit advisory? Once again? It's the humidity low nineties. Will

1096
01:26:48.600 --> 01:26:51.399
feel close to or over one hundred
today, so take it easy if you

1097
01:26:51.439 --> 01:26:56.000
are going to be outdoors, and
the rain chances will continue to be scattered

1098
01:26:56.000 --> 01:26:59.359
around here for Friday at even the
upcoming weekend. I think at one point

1099
01:26:59.439 --> 01:27:01.239
or another everybody gets at least a
little bit of rayfall. We did need

1100
01:27:01.279 --> 01:27:04.600
it, as we did see some
low levels of drought developing with the latest

1101
01:27:04.680 --> 01:27:08.760
drought monitor. Gonna be hot,
sticky though over the weekend a little bit

1102
01:27:08.960 --> 01:27:12.479
nineties I'll probably failing close to or
maybe even over one hundred at times,

1103
01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.960
especially Casey around the triangle. All
right, thank you, sir, and

1104
01:27:16.359 --> 01:27:21.000
we'll be back. We're gonna chat
with Jeff Bellinger. Also, you've heard

1105
01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:26.640
of swatting, right, that's where
somebody's you know, usually it's like video

1106
01:27:26.640 --> 01:27:30.680
game associate doesn't have to be but
where for what you know, somebody will

1107
01:27:30.680 --> 01:27:33.680
call in because they get the location
of somebody that they're playing against, or

1108
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:39.560
somebody who's doing a I guess a
stream from their house and they'll say,

1109
01:27:39.560 --> 01:27:42.880
hey, I'm calling from inside the
house. They've taken his hostage three or

1110
01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:45.520
dead, and then you know,
here comes the swat team. Right,

1111
01:27:45.119 --> 01:27:49.319
It's wildly dangerous. There have been
people killed, I believe in it was

1112
01:27:49.319 --> 01:27:54.600
it Oklahoma City or Kansas City or
Oklahoma City where you actually had somebody killed

1113
01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:57.960
and the irony was wasn't even the
house they were trying to swat because they

1114
01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:03.279
got the address mixed up. So
it's really dangerous. But it's also very

1115
01:28:03.319 --> 01:28:08.279
impersonal. And let's just say this
dude went in a different direction. So

1116
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:12.159
all that more coming up and Jeff
Bellinger next, Hang on, Good morning,

1117
01:28:12.239 --> 01:28:15.399
Casey. Stocks moved a little bit
higher yesterday, but the futures are

1118
01:28:15.439 --> 01:28:18.359
all lower, right, across the
board. At this hour. S and

1119
01:28:18.399 --> 01:28:23.479
P futures are down two, Nasdaq
futures down ten, the Dow futures are

1120
01:28:23.520 --> 01:28:27.800
down eighty seven points. Just got
a couple of reports from Washington. Demand

1121
01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:32.399
for expensive manufactured goods ticked higher last
month. The government says orders for durable

1122
01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:38.479
goods rose a tenth of a percent. Another report says new applications for unemployment

1123
01:28:38.520 --> 01:28:42.680
benefits fell last week by six thousand
to two hundred and thirty three thousand.

1124
01:28:42.960 --> 01:28:45.800
The latest quarter was a rough one
for Walgreens, the drug store chains.

1125
01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:50.279
Profit fell short to forecasts. Walgreens
cut its earnings guidance for the year and

1126
01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:57.239
said it will be closing more underperforming
stores and making some organizational changes. Shares

1127
01:28:57.239 --> 01:29:00.920
of Levi Strauss moved lower after hours
yesterday. The Dunam clothing maker posted a

1128
01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:05.760
quarterly profit the top forecasts, but
Levi sales fell short. A lot of

1129
01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:11.520
American families feel they're falling behind the
cost of living. A quarterly survey by

1130
01:29:11.600 --> 01:29:15.520
Primerica finds that two thirds of middle
income families are not feeling the effects of

1131
01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:21.479
economic improvement in their pocketbooks. That
perception is impacting household habits. Four out

1132
01:29:21.479 --> 01:29:26.479
of five respondents say they are eating
at home more often because of a combination

1133
01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:32.199
of budget concerns and higher restaurant prices. The LGBTQ dating app Grinders making some

1134
01:29:32.359 --> 01:29:36.600
changes. The app will widen its
focus to serve a growing number of users

1135
01:29:36.600 --> 01:29:42.560
looking for long term relationships, not
just casual dates. And Amazon dot COM's

1136
01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:46.840
launching a discount web store. Case
the company outlined its plans and slides posted

1137
01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:51.840
to websites for third party Chinese sellers. Low priced apparel and home products will

1138
01:29:51.880 --> 01:29:58.039
be shipped directly to customers from China. Casey, well they have slaves doing

1139
01:29:58.039 --> 01:30:02.119
that too, or just make it
nothing like that? Included in the news

1140
01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:06.319
room. Okay, all right,
but question consumers should wonder about. Thank

1141
01:30:06.359 --> 01:30:11.840
you very much, Jeff, take
care there you go. I feel like

1142
01:30:11.880 --> 01:30:15.560
Jeff wanted to be dragging him into
that, but it is the logical response.

1143
01:30:15.600 --> 01:30:19.119
Hey, let me ask you guys
a question. Ross. If Buffalo

1144
01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:25.920
Bill's ownership started trying to murder the
fans, would that have you question your

1145
01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:30.119
relationship as a Bills fan? I
would frown upon that. Yes, yeah,

1146
01:30:30.199 --> 01:30:31.359
you know, you'd want to know
more about it, obviously, but

1147
01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:34.760
it wouldn't be a good look,
you would agree, right, correct.

1148
01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:39.960
Yeah, so the Boston Red Sox
tried to drown their fans. What I

1149
01:30:40.000 --> 01:30:43.119
mean, honestly, I'm not surprised. No first heard of it, but

1150
01:30:43.159 --> 01:30:47.159
not surprised. Yeah. So you
know, there was a big, big,

1151
01:30:47.159 --> 01:30:51.680
old rainstorm went through actually put quite
a few games on display or on

1152
01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:57.520
old Wednesday Night, including Mets Yankees. Do they got what do you guys

1153
01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:03.000
call that subway series or whatever?
So that's its own thing because the Mets

1154
01:31:03.039 --> 01:31:08.039
are like all about Grimace for some
reason. The McDonald's character, I guess

1155
01:31:08.600 --> 01:31:15.760
it's kind of become not that McDonald's
probably cared, but unofficial mascot, which

1156
01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:19.720
is arguably is that better or worse
than the Big Baseball I don't know,

1157
01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:28.960
But what was a funny moment emerged
from that where the Grimace throughout the first

1158
01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:32.119
pitch and they had the rain delay, and then there's video of you know,

1159
01:31:32.279 --> 01:31:36.520
the person in the Grimace costume chugging
a beer like not on the field

1160
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:40.920
or anything, but kind of off
to the side of the concourse and people

1161
01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:43.479
are like, oh my gosh,
you're gonna hurt McDonald's brand. And I'm

1162
01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:48.319
like, his friend is a career
criminal, right, all he does is

1163
01:31:48.359 --> 01:31:54.359
steals stuff and the other one haunts
children's It's gonna be fine. Meanwhile,

1164
01:31:54.439 --> 01:31:58.079
up in Boston, though I don't
know if you know this, the stadium

1165
01:31:58.199 --> 01:32:05.039
up there has some clearly has some
some maintenance issues. And so what transpired

1166
01:32:05.119 --> 01:32:09.840
as people attempted to get out of
the rain by moving into the concourse,

1167
01:32:11.079 --> 01:32:15.399
so down lower if you're been to
Fenway, it's it's constructed like a lot

1168
01:32:15.399 --> 01:32:20.720
of the stadiums where you're not you're
not fully enclosed, and and so as

1169
01:32:20.760 --> 01:32:24.720
people were moving down, they're thinking
they're getting out of the elements. It

1170
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:31.239
became incredibly clear that the drainage system
at Fenway Park is absolutely broken. And

1171
01:32:31.359 --> 01:32:35.880
so folks who were getting to lower
ground think it would be fine that then

1172
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:43.880
found themselves having to contend with waterfalls
of now stacking water at Fenway, and

1173
01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:46.720
there's you know, there's videos of
them trying to flee from that. So

1174
01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.319
I'm not I don't own a major
league sports team, but you probably shouldn't

1175
01:32:54.319 --> 01:32:59.960
try to murder your fans. That's
my that's my pro tip for the more

1176
01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:04.960
and check this out. You've heard
of swatting video game or a live stream,

1177
01:33:05.000 --> 01:33:09.079
you want to interrupt, maybe because
they're saying something you don't agree with,

1178
01:33:09.199 --> 01:33:13.119
except you're too stupid to argue a
counterpoints. So you call and you

1179
01:33:13.199 --> 01:33:17.880
make a fake hostage call or whatever, and people show up. Politicians get

1180
01:33:17.960 --> 01:33:23.640
swatted. We've had members of Congress. It happens too. Oh, now

1181
01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:27.279
I got Boston. They weren't trying
to drown them, all right. Well,

1182
01:33:27.359 --> 01:33:30.119
look, imagine if a child would
just stumble down there. Yeah,

1183
01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:32.359
I think she's on a water slide
right now. All of a sudden,

1184
01:33:32.399 --> 01:33:38.560
he's bouncing off the concrete stairs three
levels down in Yeah, but you know,

1185
01:33:38.680 --> 01:33:43.399
apologize for that. So anyway,
swatting, But swatting's very impersonal,

1186
01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:46.560
right because half the time they can't
figure out who's done it, and really

1187
01:33:46.600 --> 01:33:49.199
the only people in danger obviously were
the people in the house. To this

1188
01:33:49.319 --> 01:33:54.760
day, I'm assuming the police have
conversations about this, but I understand it's

1189
01:33:54.840 --> 01:34:00.800
rock and a hard place, but
something's got to happen. Well, twenty

1190
01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:05.560
year old Edward Kang, he decided
he was he wasn't going to be lazy

1191
01:34:05.600 --> 01:34:12.239
and just swatched somebody. So the
individual who had had a rival playing video

1192
01:34:12.319 --> 01:34:18.600
games got so upset that he boarded
a plane from New Jersey, landed in

1193
01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:23.960
Florida, where in Nassau County,
where he knew this guy lived, drove

1194
01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:27.399
to his house with a hammer at
two in the morning to attack him.

1195
01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:32.600
That's personal, that right, That
is I don't know the work ethic there.

1196
01:34:34.039 --> 01:34:38.720
Obviously the dude's insane, but the
work ethic, I don't say you

1197
01:34:38.720 --> 01:34:42.800
have to admire, but you at
least have to note the difference, right,

1198
01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:45.479
So you probably shouldn't do that.
By the way,
