All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is Thursday, last
day of August. Time flies. We got add case O Day radio program,
Doo do doo, doo doo. All right, coming up on the
show, we will dispel you of beer goggles. Apparently that's not a thing
tell any man. The funnest job just has to be researchers getting grants for
dumb studies. That oh that I agree with, but you know, we'll
we'll get into that. But you know, when you hear somebody's getting like,
you know, a couple hundred grand to give cocaine to monkeys, you
kind of went in on that action. Looking at you wake Forest. Yeah,
that was a wake Forest study, very famous back in the day,
wasteful wasteful studies list that who was It was a great who used to put
that out. It was like the Iowa Senator. Well, anyway, I
want in on that action because I'm just looking at another couple of studies and
I'm like, yeah, it's uh, that's a pretty good gig. So
we'll get into that. Obviously, you know hurricane or now tropical storm Medelia,
that that is what North Carolina sitting here looking at, depending on where
you are feeling the effects of that. And sorry, I'm just sitting here
and I'm watching these two idiots on a giant inflatable tube. All right,
So retweeted this video at Casey on the radio. Oh that's Bay Shore Boulevard.
Holy cow. So if you're familiar at all with Tampa City, Oh
Tampa, if you head south of downtown on the peninsula there where burn Steakhouse
is, if you had to have a point of re oh, I hope
Burns is okay. Burn Steakhouse is amazing. The road, the street that
fronts the Bay there south of downtown, going through the Hyde Park neighborhood,
which is a very nice area of Tampa. In fact, I remember during
a few Christmases ago when Ross and I get fired at the end of the
year. For those couple of weeks I went down there. I was doing
some fill in for the Schnitz Show, but also I was wanting to see
some friends in the area, and they got me an airbnb at like,
because they have really nice houses there. Somebody's like guesthouse at their giant mansion.
Thing was an Airbnb, and I was like two blocks from Burns.
I was like, you know what, I could live here right there,
but Bay Shore is the main It's also where they have the parade for the
Gasparilla thing, except in this case, it's a river right now. And
this reporter from CNN, this weather dude, is standing there, and then
behind him are two guys, two dudes, two Florida men on a giant
inflatable. One of them looks like he's wearing a is that a pirate hat?
I don't even know what's going on here, and they're just they're tubing
down Bay Shore. Behind that, they almost run into the weather guy and
one of them's got a pad, but he doesn't look real ad dept at
it. Well, you know what, that's a good way to avoid the
toll road because if you leave it when you come off when you go through
downtown Tampa, that's a toll road. And then the freeway continues, and
I guess they've expanded or extended it since I've been there, But you could
you then you could keep going on the highway until you got to the about
halfway down the peninsula. They're in Tampa to Gandy Boulevard. I only know
the name of it because that's where the iHeartMedia office is there. So when
I was doing filling at the time, that's where I had to go.
So that's why I stayed over in that area. And it was a toll
road, so the way you could avoid the toll is to you know,
go down like Bay Shore or whatever. They said. They're doing it on
a boat, so maybe they're just trying to be fiscally responsible, or maybe
they're just you know, dudes out doing stuff that people do during hurricanes.
But yeah, crap obviously pushed a bunch of water into the bay there.
Holy cal all right, so we got that for you again. I just
retweeted the video at Casey on the radio. If you want to go to
the to the twitter there. I guess that's one way to handle it.
Oh goody good. People already retweeted it. I can't read this guy's tweet
though, because it has a naughty word. Do they have like they have
like luggage and stuff on there? I can't tell what's going on? Man?
What even is that tube they're on? Sorry? Hold on, am
I bought? I'm literally doing this on the fly. Okay, So yeah,
that's the railway on Bay Shore there. Yeah, they got like backpacks
and stuff and I don't know that's a pirate hat. It's just weird,
man. And I like how they're not even talking to the reporter. They're
just like, yeah, you know what, we're not here for you,
and they're just cruising down the road there. Good lord man. All right,
So but that's not the only insanity out of out of Florida. We'll
get into. You know, yesterday we're the governor. And yes, I
understand he is a political candidate for president, But why you think in the
middle of the hurricane press conference where he is clearly not he's not talking about
the campaign or any of the rest of it. I understand that things are
always political when you're dealing with a politician, why you feel that as a
reporter you have to take that opportunity to bring up Trump? And you know,
the Trump is Santist dichotomy just can't help themselves. So let me get
let me get a little too. The presser there and specific in fact,
it doesn't identify the reporter here. I so she's some local idiot reporter.
So the santist is like, all right, here's what we're gonna do.
This is what we expect, this is what we're seeing here's the plan.
Remember the entirety of the media browbeat this dude, like, Hi, I
can't believe he's not stopping the campaign, right because it was one of those
opportune gotcha moments. So here is before I get to the reporter, here's
the kind of stuff the Santis was talking about that probably irritated some of these
reporters. You protect people's property, and we are not going to tolerate any
looting in the aftermath of a natural disaster. I mean, it's just ridiculous
that you would try to do something like that on the heels of an almost
Category four hurricane hitting this community. I'd also just remind potential looters that people
you never know what you're walking into. If people have a right to defend
their property. This part of Florida, you've got a lot of advocates and
some proponents of the Second Amendment, and I've seen signs in different people's yards
in the past after these disasters, and I would say, it's probably here,
you loot, we shoot. And by the way they were, the
way that that was being positioned with a couple of the national reports is desantists
said that, which I wouldn't have a problem with by the way, if
he's like, look, law enforcement is not going to deal with this,
and of course the residents of Florida are not going to deal with this,
which he kind of said, but the actual verbiage surrounding the you loot,
we shoot he was referencing signs, which yes, those populate all over Florida
and not just Florida. We've seen him in North Carolina. I remember was
I think it was what surf City or What's done down where Ross's old time
share was. Yeah, it was surf City or it is somewhere on the
island there where somebody had a sign and then somebody was but hurt and then
I think one of the Wilmington stations did it. But Florida, man,
like you want to see someone. I know, California currently probably holds the
record for amazing looting videos, but those are not necessarily natural disaster, although
you could argue the government of California is a bit of a natural. But
in Florida, man, they don't screw around because there's craziness. Do you
remember the video a few years ago where they were looting. It was a
foot locker, right, just and they were just going down this strip,
mall just looting away as down the Miami area. Loot, loot, looton.
And the only thing I disagree with this, Santis is like everybody I
know in Florida, whether they live in the Tampa area or the people I
know in Miami, I know a guy in Fort Myers, whatever, they're
all of the you loot, we shoot opinion. So I think that probably
permeates. But once you get into northern Florida, yeah, arguably it probably
picks up some steam. So anyway, so this is what he's talking about.
He's getting accused of threatening to shoot looters. And then of course the
standard Twitter people are like, so you're saying that if somebody loots a generator
because their family needs it, they should be shot. You're horrible because,
as we know, when people loot during a natural disaster, it's the old
AOC. They're just stealing bread because they're hungry. Thing. You know,
look, you got standing water, your feet are gonna get wet. I
would understand why you need twenty pairs of brand new Jordan's makes sense. Got
to swap him out on the regular. Don't want your feet to get you
know, like you don't want to get swamp foot. Sure, that's totally
what's up. And I don't see a lot of videos following these natural disasters
where people are looting the home depot, but just for supplies to keep their
power running. So he says that, Now we're into the Q and A,
and you know, most of the questions are pretty standard. But then
we get to this idiot reporter check and she just can't help herself. Well,
Trump, you know, he's a resident here in Florida and he hasn't
commented on at all. Yes, all right, and hold on for you.
Yes, Trump is a resident. Does anybody can you visualize a map
of Florida by the way, probably it's a you know, it's got a
pretty unique shape. Now I want you to visualize where Palm Beaches and where
Tampa is or Tallahassee for that matter, Jacksonville, you know, areas that
actually were impacted in a significant manner by the edges of the storm. It's
a long way. If you've ever driven to Miami, when you hit Jacksonville,
right, you're like, oh, I'm in Florida now, this is
great, right, but it's not because like you still have your whole day
ahead of you, let alone Tampa, which is obviously over on the other
side of things. So any who, that's why this question is extra obnoxious.
So let's get back to it. Trump. You know, he's arrested
here in Florida and he hasn't commented on at all. It's not my concern.
My concern is protecting the people of Florida being ready to go. And
we've done that, and look, we in Florida. You just have to
do this. I mean, this is something we put a lot of time
and effort into throughout the course of each year, knowing that that there's going
to be time where you're gonna have to activate it. Now. We we
had a major one last year, one of the most expensive on record.
We were hoping not to have any this year. Then maybe we would get
off lucky and that, but that just didn't wasn't in the card. So
so you deal with it, right, all right, So he's got he's
got zero time for that crap. And to his point, also because it
got me thinking, there is this there is this vibe I saw with some
of the journalists down there. I'm putting air quotes on that where it's like
any like any time De Santists has held a press conference. And I remember
this thinking this last year too, having to do with a hurricane. You
have this big population of the media that acts like it's totally unexpected that this
could ever happen in Florida. And obviously what you're deal well, what you're
dealing with is you're dealing with global climate warming change, right because if you
remember, it wasn't until we got all those cars on the road that the
state of Florida ever had to deal with hurricanes. So like you kind of
have that vibe there. I saw some one of the CNN reporters yesterday and
he's he was at he like, this is the worst ever. And somebody
points out that literally the same elbow area of Florida where Adelia went on shore,
that same level of hurricane, with the same level of winds is was
a very famous historical storm back in the late eighteen hundreds, almost in the
exact spot, and it mirrored every aspect of this hurricane. And obviously if
you go back to the eighteen eighties, uh, there wasn't a lot of
rush hour traffic on I ninety or ninety five. Excuse me, like like
that wasn't that wasn't a that wasn't a problem. It was it. Look
it was still slow traveling in in Florida first, But yeah, that just
weren't a thing, man. So yeah, like it was. It was
just a big old bucket of stupidity during this whole thing. So all right,
there we go. It is six twenty eight case O Day Radio Program.
We'll get a little obviously in the North Carolina version of this, but
I had to play that audio for you this morning because you know, stupidity
ensued. One oh six one at them Talk and ninety four five w PTI,
two stations driving the best end talk. This is case O Day and
Carolina's morning News. All right, welcome back. It is six forty here
on the CaCO Day Radio program. No. Number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seventy four. Actually, don't gravity reset our phone, so
it'll call it's a thing. It's a thing, Okay, the ghost of
the Machinet. We've probably been hacked by you know, some moonbad hacker group.
I don't know, but Ross is trying to do some other stuff.
So you can send email or post on social media. I'll glance at that,
Okay, all right, rock con anyway, all right, a few
other things to get to. Obviously, I was just playing some of the
Florida audio for you, where of course, in the middle of a hurricane
press conference, we got to have reporters getting into questions about Trump. I
mean, it's not unpredictable, but you know, obviously obviously it's you know,
it's just dumpster fire stuff. Man. Uh and then uh yeah,
So yeah, as we sit here and we looked to the you know,
the effects elsewhere and North Carolina depending on where you are, you know,
down trees, some power issues, those kinds of things. But thankfully it
was see one of the things that was very helpful. Yeah, I guess
if you could use that word in this situation is you know, Adelia stalled
for almost like three days prior to uh, you know, making the run
at landfall there. But it didn't it didn't gather. It didn't gather in
the same way that previous storms had gathered moisture in that same position within the
Gulf. If you know, when these storms get into the Gulf, even
more so than the Caribbean, and and they have it to stall out,
they have they have a a history of gaining significant force like Katrina would be
a good example going into New Orleans as well as what we've seen in Texas
and whatnot. And I'm sure it has to do with the physiology of the
of the and you know, in the weather surrounding the Gulf, but we
didn't see that. Even though it obviously did gather strength, significant strength during
the course of its run, it didn't take that last little opportunity to fill
up. So that was you know, a bit of a godsend as it
moves forward, But that doesn't, you know, it doesn't mitigate some of
the others threats out there. And I like, people are sending me emails
yesterday and kind of mocking the coverage. Look, and I get that,
but I also look, there's also people. There's also people who frankly are
dealing with significant loss up to it, including losing their home with some of
these storms. I got a good, very good friend of mine lives in
Fort Myers and that storm that went in there last he was absolutely devastated by
that. So, yes, I understand that you're going to get you know,
the CNNs of the world and others sitting there. You had, like
their meteorologists yesterday, he was all over TV and social media. I can't
wait, what is this idiot's name? But whatever, I don't have it
in front of me, but you know, yeah, no, here we
go, yeah, Ryan, No, no, no, no, I'm
sorry. No, he's the one who was trying to bring sanity to this.
Bill Weirs, CNN's Bill Weir, who claimed that this is literally during
his reporting, claimed that the continued use of fossil fuels was to blame for
the increasing intensity of major storms, and argued that states like Florida, we're
so much of the economies to prend in on, you know, things like
drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, need to learn to Allen's financial interests with
climate mitigations. So he's given this whole lecture and he's talking about, you
know how there's and like this other meteorologist, Ryan Morrow, he was he
was literally pulling up the receipts right And that's where I was able to sit
here and read that a storm that held almost the same exact pattern literally stalled
for the same amount of days and eventually made landfall in almost the same exact
spot. But it happened to be something that took place back in the eighteen
hundred's. The eighteen ninety six Cedar Keys Hurricane, so one hundred and twenty
five years ago, well, prior to you know, fossil fuel usage insanity,
it behaved exactly the same. And then I what was interesting is I
then saw people who were pushing back on that dude going while you just can't.
You can't sit there and just try. You know, that's not apples
and apples to just pull one thing. You gotta look at that. And
I'm like, well, hold on, wait a seconds. Literally what gets
done every time? You can't argue that the state of Florida is dealing with
a record number of hurricanes this year. It's one of the latest years ever.
So if you know, what's good for the goose is good for the
gander. The eighteen ninety six Seater Keys Hurricane made landfall as well in Florida's
Big Bend, with estimated one hundred twenty five mile an hour winds, and
as this guy points out, that is exactly a zero percent landfall maximum wind
increase between eighteen ninety six and twenty twenty three, and is the two worst
recorded storms from size and wind in the history. Again, in the recorded
history. Obviously they had a lot of time to have other really bad storms
that just weren't recorded, but in the recorded history exactly one hundred and twenty
five years apart, almost, and they were exactly the same. So,
you know, when we live in a world where people are running around and
they're used, you know, they're they're nitpicking various pieces of evidence too,
do their panic broadcasting pointing something like that out, which is exactly the same,
right, using these two data points that while yes, do make the
point that you're making, but may not tell all of the story, if
if people are being intellectually honest, right, because again you you don't know
what happened for the millennium millennia prior to that in the Big Bend area of
Florida. It's it's equally, it's equal, you know, it's it is
the trend man. So I did find that an interesting little discussion going on
there. Our own governor, he held his press conference, had all his
folks out there. They're from the government, they're here to help. So
got that. Obviously, as you check out the old doppler, who was
speaking of the doppler, some of you sent me screenshots of Stagic on TV,
and you're like, it's a big dude. Yeah, he's a he's
literally a giant. I haven't seen a picture of him holding a beer can,
but I think it probably looks like Andre the Giant when he would hold
a beer can, if you've ever seen that famous photo, And it looks
like he's holding one of those little juice things, the little juice cans that
you see like bartenders user or whatever. But yeah, I know he was.
He was rocketing on the television. I don't even know if that's who
were talking to this morning. I do was probably up all night man.
But yeah, he's he's a big guy. So but yeah, we'll get
into we'll get into more of this obviously as we dive into the lad Or
part of the show. Now. Current power outages here in North Carolina.
Let's see, just re updating my little my little thing here. The hurricane
downgraded to a tropical storm at five pm Wednesday. The greatest float threat for
flooding is south of where where the studio is, the Raleigh studio. Obviously,
many along the Cape Fear and getting down between Fayetteville and Wilmington. If
you remember, obviously the significant flooding that we've seen up in those areas,
bridges washing out all of that with previous storms. That's obviously of concern.
But warnings are in effect for most of the coastline as well as several of
the adjacent inland counties. They even have a tornado watch in let's see Penn
Brunswick, New Hannover, and Columbus, so you know, basically the area
around Wilmington there and the flash flood warnings out there. So you know,
obviously the point that I'm making is if you're gonna be out and about,
especially as you near down into the eastern and south of Raleigh part of the
state, you know, just be careful, be careful. Yeah, it's
thirty six total NC counties under some sort of alert up to an including Cumberlands
when of our listeners down and around the Fayetteville area, and all sorts of
school closings or delays also reported. Let's see here do do do do do?
Ah? There we go, So let's see so wake counties delayed two
hours. That's yeah, yeah, I got I got one hundred and fifty
of these things in front of me. So I would recommend, obviously you
check things individually, but we'll truck through, and we got a bunch of
other stuff to get to. You know what. Also, as I'm sitting
here and I'm here, we go. As I'm sitting here and I'm watching
some of the reports and some of the various things that are coming out there,
and then watching a little snippet from Roy Cooper's thing yesterday, You'll notice
nobody hit him with dumb questions, and yesterday was a political Well, I
guess you could pick what's a dumb question, but they weren't getting into political
questions, right, So it's it is literally possible to hold one of those
pressers and not have some reporter decide that that's an opportunity to get in.
Because yesterday, I know you're gonna be shocked. I hope you're all sitting
down. Governor Cooper endorsed Josh Stein for governor or. I guess he looked
at all the folks and made his decision, which I guess nobody saw it
coming, judging by the way that people are like, oh, this is
amazing, look at that Roy Cooper's thrown his support behind Josh Stein. You
know, like people were honestly surprised and so that happened, and then obviously
the press conference happens, and none of these reporters, although remember most of
these reporters at the same reporters who during the entirety of COVID were the ones
who actually got to ask questions and we're good little boys and girls and you
know, didn't get into the overtly troublesome aspects of that, which is why
they were able to stay in the question asking mode. Every one of them,
by the way, is an absolute, abject coward who never came to
the defense of people who were in the same industry as them and should receive
zero respect. And frankly, if you saw him on the street and they
were on fire, you you know, you shouldn't bother, you know,
wedding to put him out, because that's that's not something you would have seen
down in Florida. Frond Santis was you know if the I can't remember the
dude's name, who was the dude that ran against him, who then had
like the meth orgy done in Miami Andrew whatever. Like I promise you,
if he was holding that press or you wouldn't be getting all of these political
questions. You may get questions like how do you think the storm will affect
the LGBT community or something, But it really shows you a tale of two
political cabals there. All right, let's see, I was gonna get into
this one story, but I want to push that a little later. Here's
let me let me get in on this real quick. Sorry, we're having
to flip some stuff around. I'm not gonna get into details, but we're
having some some technical blah blah blah. So that's the technical that's the technical
term for it, by the way, and it's thrown me for a bit
of a loop. But we're you know, we're trucking through. Oh is
this? Oh really? The following hurricanes all made landfall on eight twenty nine,
and I'm sure it's probably more because again, we don't know the totality.
They didn't have names before that. They were just big storms where conquistadors
and seminal tribe members were like Dad, that looks no that looks no good.
Katrina, Ida, Gustav Isaac, and Harvey. Oh okay, well,
thank you for sending me that. I'm not sure the years on all
of those, but yeah, I knew the Katrina one obviously. Yeah,
I remember the I remember with the Katrina one two going back to because it
happened like the week before the Republican National Convention, the one that was up
in Saint Paul where John McCain was nominated and where we all got to meet
Sarah Palin and it happened to we and I remember that happened. Katrina happened,
and like the media was running around asking all these questions and I'm sure
it was happening at the national level, but it was happening at the local
level of State of Minnesota GOP officials. They're like, well, you're going
to cancel your convention, right because of what happened, you know, you
got to cancel your con and they were berating them on this, like why
aren't you canceling your convention? Never mind that the you know, the Democrat
convention also was coming up, and that was Barack Obama with the pillars remember
the Roman columns on State Where was that Denver or something. I can't remember
where it was, but yeah, yeah, that whole thing was going on.
So yeah, I remember. I remember right around that time how insane
everything was, man, absolutely all right, six fifty five K C O
D. Radio program, Ross is there's some reason that the log just oh
jeez, all right, I'm sorry. I don't want to ask this on
the air, but oh, okay, Ross has a wrench in his hand.
He's right, cover rolls, He's got cover rolls on with grease on
there. He's got wrenches in his hands. And see he looks he's kind
of dressed like Mario, but with an impact wrench. So all right,
I see that in front of me, and I'm like, oh god,
what now? All right? Check this out. Lawsuit filed by the ACOU
in Indiana as a test case and a case that could shape Paul. Let's
see within the US District Court of the Southern District of Indiana and others on
behalf of a prison in made by the name of Jonathan Richardson. Oh excuse
me, formally of the name Jonathan Richardson. Jonathan now goes by Autumn Corleone.
You can't, you can't, okay, I understand the changing of the
first name. You changed your last name, so now you're literally descended from
the God shuts your face. The lawsuit, the federal lawsuit filed on behalf
of Richardson, demands that Richardson be provided with transgender genital surgery. Right,
so he wants a sex change and that the state of Indiana pay for it.
So the Indiana Department of This is to force the hand. Now,
depending on what state you are, some state judicial or prison systems or corrections
Department of Corrections do pay for this, but in Indiana they're not. And
to make the whole thing even remarkably more creepy, Richardson is in prison for
murdering a baby. He murdered a baby, and now he's spending life behind
bars and has now decided, well, I'm not Jonathan anymore. I'm Autumn
Corleone. The forty one year old was convicted of murdering his eleven month old
step daughter. But yeah, I don't. This is where I'm at.
One, if you murder a baby, get the nitrogen or whatever we talked
about earlier in the week, and let's do this thing. But more importantly,
there's not a chants that taxpayers should have to spend thousands of dollars so
you can realize your true self. Your true self is baby murderer. Honestly,
you should post his charges on the wall and stick him in general general
general general population. I'll solve this and you know what, some of the
other inmates they might actually uh, they might actually do some of the surgery
for you. I'm just saying keeping you connected. This is ninety four five
WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, seven twenty five welcome back case O Day Radio program. It's
not murder that's illegal or that is legal in Chapel Hill. If you watched
any additional parts of the rally, what she was talking about are laws,
excuse me, laws and ordinances surrounding guns. You there are, there are
things that you can pass at a local level, but the fact remains that
when it comes to constitutionally protected activities, you cannot you cannot go You couldn't
just be like, all right, this county, because we're a bunch of
moon bats in the county, guns are illegal. They try to do that
stuff, and you've seen different municipalities literally get sued over and over. But
ultimately, as it works its way up through the court, you can't go
restrict more restricted on what are basic rights that shall not be infringed. That
doesn't that didn't just mean the federal government. By the way, I'm not
like, I'm not gonna play through it because I think you know, sir,
I'm assuming sir. I guess you didn't sign your name, but your
email address looks like a dude, so whatever. I know you know that,
but you know, go ahead and make your garbage arguments that I'm misconstruing
it. I'm not. That is a person who is actively trying to motivate
people based on their emotional reaction that they're having right now, to aid them
in achieving their political goals. Never letting a good crisis go to waste.
That's what it is. It's wrong on that side, it's wrong on the
other side. It's wrong everywhere, and it makes me cringe every time I
see it. Also, if you want something to cringe, did you see
the big announcement yesterday by the the five Late night quote unquote comedy hosts.
I'll use their term. I don't know if I find a lot of comedy
to dancing syringes or whatever that weird Colbert vaxx a thing was but Jimmy Kimmel,
Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Seth Myers are teaming
up. How many of you has your life been just have you just been
distraught in your day to day because these five idiots are not on TV right
now because the writers strike? Is it? You know? Is it taking
a toll on you? By the way, how many of you went when
I like when I did? When I saw this story, I'm like,
oh, that's right, they're not on the air because you like it?
Never even it's not even something you think about. Well, they haven't been
on the air, they haven't been for months, they're not expected to be.
But they also and I this is my theory, I think they also
are feeling like they're not getting the attention that their egos require, and they're
not getting to crap on you know, the Trump or GOP people or decantists
or whoever may be. I think they've figured out a way that they're going
to deal with it, and I love that everyone's mocking them. I'll give
you the details coming up. Thank you. Kse Is one four five w
PTI in the triad and one oh six one FM talked in the Triangle.
Wow, that might be the most horrible press release I've ever seen. Thank
you the report, Thank you for sending that to me, I really appreciate
that. I didn't need to know that. But there's a con for everything,
you know, I mean like con like criminal con I mean like conventions
for everything. Right back, they just had the what do they call it
galaxy maybe it's a Galaxy Cohn, right, the one that was in Raleigh
here recently, So you get that, and obviously there's you know, there's
stuff all over. However, apparently a convention that's been around, though only
took place on the West Coast for about eight years now, according to organizers,
is now so successful they're going to be expanding nationwide, with plans to
do at least thirty different locations over the next two years. It's cat con.
It's a convention, didn't they They had something out at the fairgrounds here
in North Carolina years ago where it was a cat thing. I don't think
it was at the level of this stupidity, but it was a cat show
of some sort. And I remember that I irritated somebody because I was on
the radio telling single dudes that they should go out there because it's going to
be a wash in women with unmarried women, which I stand by that identification
by the way, just so we're just so we're clear. I don't even
want to know why that's doing that, dude. I'm now ross every single
email over the last twenty four hours that I've already received is now being repopulated
in my outlook with individual notifications, and it's taken over my show. What
is going on? Man? Anyway? It's the cat con curse. And
one of the cities they're talking about, is it Charlotte Raleigh just says in
North Carolina. The event, the largest event, which actually just took place
at Pasadena, drew over two hundred organized or two hundred exhibitors, and that
it costs forty five dollars to get in and also included a separate four thousand
persons at art show. I would, honestly, I would rather go to
the flatter thing that they had at the Embassy Suite cent Perry than to get
within one hundred miles of this frid Good morning, Welcome everybody. It is
our number three here at eight oh seven on the k c O Day radio
program. Oh man, all right, yeah, I just read I'll tell
you about what I retweeted. I gotta finish this because somebody sent me the
stupid CACCN story, which is a thing, but thankfully, up until now,
I guess it's been a thing in California, but unfortunately enough people went
so now they want to do it elsewhere, including North Carolina, which I
get. Look, this is mostly tongue in chief. If you want to
go spend forty five dollars to go to a cat you know, a single
day of a cat convention whatever, again telling you guys, probably a lot
of single ladies there, just saying, but I was reading further down.
We had just hit the breakthrough at the top of the hour. So it's
not just forty five dollars for a day at this thing where you just go
in and I'm like, well, what are you even doing there? Right?
Can you bring your cat? What is the carpet smell like there?
With all these cats mark in their territory? I can't even figure that who
would allow them to do this? But forty five dollars is the base rate.
In fact, many of the any many of the thousands who attended also
decided to go ahead and splurge and get the one hundred and fifty dollars cat
Content ticket, and my head nearly exploded. I'm like, what are you
doing? However, then they said, so why would somebody spend that?
I don't know why somebody spend forty five one hundred and fifty because it's just
like Comic Con or any of the rest. It allows you exclusive meet and
greets and stuff. So those opting for the VIP ticket package were then able
to do meet and greets with Merlin, the mad Ragdall, sponge Cake,
and Scottish Fold, who apparently are Internet celebrity cats. You think William Shatner
doesn't really want to be there, I can't assume that some cat sitting there
wants to deal with a hundred idiots who spend one hundred and fifty dollars come
on being like, oh, I remember that video you did, you know,
the one where you sat there in a dumb hat. That was great.
It's all like Chris Farley when he used to do those interviews on SNL
with like Paul McCartney. You're paying one hundred and fifty dollars, go see
it. Go to the Pound, because by the cats at the Pound equally
care about you or want anything to do with you, and you're paying one
hundred and fifty dollars so you can get your Like. I could understand maybe
if grumpy Cat was still kicking, why somebody might want to get a photo
with grumpy Cat. It was one of the few cats I could kind of
identify with. But whatever a sponge cake is, I don't want anything to
do with it. But hey, you know what, if they could make
a bunch of money, they're gonna do it, And I guess whatever.
You know, it's a free country. But I will not be attending.
I mean, we might send one of our our hundreds of staff members here
down to cover it, but not me. So I'm just kidding. We
don't have any of that. The roster is helling gonna go, so maybe
Kyle and News I don't know, we'll figure it out, all right.
Sorry. I get a little sidetracked by that because I just I can't.
I can't even By the way, there's a story also on here because it
literally is I guess it's a They just covered various conventions. Apparently this year
saw the largest attendants at a separate thing, the largest attendance for the Big
twenty. The Big twenty are the twenty big free conventions, and they estimate
that perhaps people were here we go. They estimate that people probably were just
still, you know, not a because some of these conventions it's their first
year back post COVID, so folks were just wanting to get back into the
the swing of things. And I'm looking at this and people are running around
with leaf blowers at this in the pictures and then this video because the first
suits are so hot that there's they just keep leafblowers around to blow air.
Maybe don't wear the suit during the middle of the day when it's hot.
I mean, I understand when you're having your you know, your hotel parties
or whatever, that's your thing. But anyway, crazy crazy man. All
right, that's enough of that insanity. Maybe you should combine the furries with
the cat thing. People can buy a twofer ticket. You charge one hundred
bucks or something. I mean, the cats are already in costume, right,
Look at that. They should hire me as a consultant. So check
this out. Speaking of Charlotte, the Queen City continues continues. We'll have
to ask Pete Calendar about this tomorrow too. Continues to deal with a rash
of public defecation, much of it in the Uptown condominium area, which has
a lot of residents say they're at a tipping point, a dangerous tipping point.
I'm assuming you've got a crap ton of cameras there, because they actually
talk about maybe you should arrest people that take a on the sidewalk. And
I've seen literally people suggest this and activists will go, well, they don't
have anywhere to go. One, I'm pretty sure it doesn't Starbucks. Still
other thing we're gonna go in there. But more importantly, even if they're
unable to gain access to a businesses is the middle of the sidewalk or even
just to the side of the sidewalk. But basically, you know where people
walk versus I don't know, some bushes. That's you know. That's the
other thing too. How many of you have you know, you've been out
hunting or hiking or camping or whatever and nature calls. Do you just go
You're like, right in the middle of your own campsite, just be like,
hey, guys, watch out. Let me know, No, what
do you do? You walk into the damn woods man, you go find
you go find a tree yet behind or some cover of some sort or but
at the very least, you just you wanted to get enough away from where
you're actually being that one people won't just randomly stepping it that night when you're
a few beers in around the campfire. And two so you don't have to
smell it. So don't give me that garbage. Especially in Uptown. You
got two you got two parks right there. I'm not by the way,
I'm not saying that they should go there. And by the way, those
parks do have public restrooms too. How is this not a solvable problem?
I'm telling you this is like this is Remember these were kind of the inklings
of the first stories you saw in like San Francisco and Seattle, but it
was still kind of joking, you know, like funny ha ha. It's
like, God, look at the poop map, remember the poop map,
and like, and then it became abundantly clear that like, for whatever reason,
nobody cared from a government standpoint, and then it just escalated and escalated.
This is how this stuff starts, man, This is how we get
into these problems in the first place. By the way he is, he's
here is an unfortunate near victim. Over the summer, my granddaughter and I
specifically, we're walking to the Discovery Center when a female publicly defecated in front
of the Discovery Center with no regard to individuals entering the Discovery Center. Now,
was it just was it that or was she trying to send a message
to the Discovery I've never been in the Discovery Center. Was she trying to
send a message that I'm unaware of? Like maybe somebody went over the NASCAR
Hall of Fame there and felt underwhelmed, and you know, so number two
right in front, like you know, as a screw. You do we
know if there was if there was a message, or was it just somebody
who's like, dah, this place looks good. We see a city where
some people while away the days old day every day in our parks and sidewalks,
drinking alcohol and drunkenly harassing other people. We see a city where vegran's
urinate and defecate feces on troup public spaces. You see a city that had,
with noble intentions, allowed critical ordinances to evaporate last year. Yeah,
so look, he's one hundred percent right. It is the evaporation of these
things where and it's just the argument I just made where activists who then find
themselves in political positions will say, well, look, you know, sometimes
they need to steal bread for you know, because they're hungry. And then
you're like, well, then why are they in Sephora? Is that the
makeup store support? Right? Okay, so why are they in there stealing
makeup that's not bread? And then you're and then like, ah, you're
a bigot, but whatever, So you get the evaporation there, or we
need to lose We need to lessen the restrictions on people sleeping in public parks,
because where else are they going to go up to and including the Ninth
Circuit Court out in California going you can't literally, you can't literally stop people
from just camping and crapping wherever they want, which is currently an order that
they're living under as you know, that tries to work its way up the
judicial ladder there. So these are the these are the little things. I
know, I'm slippery slope guy, but these are the little things that start
adding up to the big things. And I think that that is probably the
best way to state it that I've heard in quite some time. We see
a city where some people while away the days all day, every day in
our parks and sidewalks, drinking alcohol and drunkenly harassing other people. We see
a city where vagrants urinate and defecate feces on troup public spaces. We see
a city that had, with noble intentions, allowed critical ordinances to evaporate last
year. And I don't even know that I'd give the noble intentions too.
But ultimately, even if you're coming from a place where you're just like,
look, we got to do this because that, but you're not attempting to
attack the rest of the problem in any way, shape or form. And
anyone who does say, well, look we got to do a little police
and you demonize. That's how you get some woman walking with a grandkid or
a kid or whatever to go to the kids Museum Discovery Center and she's got
to sit there and watch a grown adult drop trout in the middle of the
street right in front of her. So give me all your noble intentions.
I mean, put some porta potties out there. They may not use them,
because again there are public restrooms over in that area in the park over
there. But still all right, So well, like I said, tomorrow,
we'll chat with Pete Calendar. We'll have to we have to do.
It'll be that discussion, but part two or part pooh. I guess we
could call it so because we talked about this a few weeks ago and apparently
they didn't solve it. So what are you gonna do? All right?

six one FM Talk in the Triangle and here's Talk ninety four five PTI in
the Triad. Paul, this story all right, let's go ahead and get
into this. And I will say this is from the perspective of the parents.
I have no reason to not believe what they're saying. But it's in
the same way that when people, especially when we get into schools, people
will send me stories and many times stories communicated by their kids from school,
and they're like, you need to do something, you need to get right
after it. And in most cases, yeah, I mean, it's it's
straight up what's being represented there. But it can sometimes be difficult to necessarily
hear what potentially the other side is because on more than one occasion, I've
seen people and I'm by the way, I'm not saying that's that's that's what's
happening here, but I've seen where kids maybe have not been straightforward with parents.
I have no reason to believe that's the case here, especially when you
when you hear Dad as to what he was told by the by the principle
there or the school officials. But I just like anything else, I'd take
any any you know, experience that somebody is saying, hey, this is
what happened if I wasn't there to witness it with a little bit of a
grain of salt. And the reason I point that out is that it used
to be I had a I was a lot more skeptical of some stuff.
But now when we see all these insane stories like some kid with a Gadsten
flag basically being thrown out of school until there was enough internet support, I
don't know if there's anything I don't believe now right, this is the sheer
insanity of it. And of course what everybody then saw during during COVID was
going on, who went I would never would have believed they were teaching my
kid that well they are so so with that in mind, this sounds very
much within the realm of possibility. This is a seventh grade or is twelve,
and he attends the school in Wake Forests, the Envisioned Science Academy.
I was gonna look that up is that a Is that a magnet school of
some sort within the district, or is that a charter? That's probably a
charter, isn't it? Well, whatever, it doesn't matter. It should
be had you should be having at a private school. So here is what,
according to the story, happened to this twelve year old. Well,
let me do this. I'm gonna give you a little tease on and then
I'll get into the details. But basically the reader's digest version is Dad receives
a call from the assistant dean at the school and says, Hey, I
need you to come in. We need to have a meeting about your son's
quote continued behavior, which is I'm sure a phone call every parent wants to
get. Also, the use of the word continued is interesting because I don't
necessarily I don't necessarily see something in here that would be continued. It sounds
like this was a somewhat individualized incident, at least in the reaction or what
they're criticizing the young man for, but perhaps maybe not what the other kids
were doing to them. So any who's so Dad gets that call, no
doubt he's going, what what is it? Oh, my gosh, what's
going on. So he heads on down to the school. All right,
So that's that's remnant, that's where the tse is, all right, So
he heads on down to the school and what he has told then, by
the by, the folks are at the school, little crazy man, little
lot crazy. So when we get back from the break, I'm gonna get
into this. Am I missing something? Why this isn't smart talk all day
in the Triad and one oh six one FM talk in the Triangle? All
right, good morning and welcome it his eight thirty five you're on a pc
O day radio program. I could have gone, you know what, I
was good not seeing that there is a I tweeted the video out so you
can go look at it because if I got to see it, so you
a computer animation of what happens to a person when they're in a submersible that
implodes at ten thousand feet under the sea and it's not singing crabs, And
like, on one hand, I'm watching this thing and like it makes sense
what they're attempting to communicate due to the immense pressure and what some of the
folks talked about during the during that story about you know what it would do
the human body and essentially it's mincemeat, right you turned you want to talk
about turned to miss? There you go. But it's like in the but
then you watch it and the times where they show the dude getting turned into
miss, they also put like a weird explosion graphic on it. So now
I don't know if they're being serious, but I don't want to go on
your submarine tour. Okay, I'm pretty good with that. But you can
go check it out at Casey on the radio. It's it's there for you.
All right, So back to this, This happened according to the According
to the story, here at the Envisioned Science Academy and Wake Forest, where
a twelve year old he's in seventh grade, something happened at school. Dad
gets a call from the dean, their assistant dean, saying, hey,
you gotta come in. We got to talk about your kids behavior, which
is just I'm sure every parent's favorite call to get. And this is the
story as it was communicated by the father. Who who did he do an
interview with Todd Starns all right, so Todd Starn formerly Fox News, but
now he does his own thing. Okay, So according to dad, he
was told that several of the boy's classmates had started a conversation during the previous
school year about Christianity, and his son had explained how they quote needed a
relationship with Jesus to go to heaven. The assistant you know it's a woman,
Okay, she the assistant dean told him the father that his son had
violated Title nine. Do any of these people understand any of the laws or
rules or history? How is it where pop your kid is not your The
Title nine is about conduct and I have and it's it's a wildly abused thing,
which you could argue was intentional by some of the folks. Uh is
mostly about you know, screwing up college sports allocations for fairness or screwing with
I guess you can. It's your opinion whether they think it's screwed up,
but screwing with allocations and having to literally cut programs that in many cases we're
not just successful and sought after, but it might have even made been a
little profitable for the schools because the interpretations where things you know, we're we're
absurd, like well, you know, there's colleague football is really expensive to
operate, but it generates a lot of revenue. Anyone who's who's just you
know, just paid up all of your season tick it's over at State or
UNC or Wake Forest or whatever. You know what I'm talking about. Why
do I have to give another ten thousand to the club. This is dumb,
And don't even get me started on the parking stuff. But whatever,
it's you know, it's crazy, crazy amount of money. And then you
had people that were interpreting Title nine. It's like, well, the either
the same amount of money or the same number of student athletes who are women
have to be served. Also, if you're if you have like the swimmer
who's who's a biological male but competed on the women's team, which side of
the Title nine algorithm does that go on? I was just thinking of that.
I don't know. But then people were like, well, you know,
we had to cut X y Z because you know, there's sixty players
or whatever over on the football team, and h the same amount of money
should be spent on the women's gymnastics team. And by the way, I
got no beef with women's gymnastics. Obviously a lot of people love especially when
you get around you know, the the Olympics it's one of the most watch
sport and what's her bucket? She just won like her eighth World Gymnastics championship,
which is just ridiculous. Go USA, love it. But under there's
no way, shape or form that's arguing that the women's gymnastics program should have
the same revenue outlay as the men's football team, which, by the way,
it doesn't even the men's football team. It's the football team as women
have attempted to and in even in Division one University of Colorado, and there's
one other where women did make the roster. So don't give me any of
that garbage. But whatever, the kid didn't violate Title nine for talking about
Christianity, especially when it appears as you go through the story that the other
kids are making fun of this kid. He's not even the one who brought
it up. In what the dad says was communicated to him by the school,
she told me my son had violated Title nine. No he didn't.
He didn't because he can't because he's not the school, he's not the administration,
he's not the school board, dad said. The two kids who had
complained interjected themselves into the conversation and began ridiculing my son about his faith and
how stupid it was. Did they violate Title nine? The dad told Starnes
that the school's dean told him that the school's dean and other students had been
taunting his son. But this sentence is weird. Are you implying that the
dean or there's a There's a typo in this sentence, which makes it a
little difficult to understand, because in one way, it could be the dean
was taunting the kid with the other students, or that the dean told you
that the other students have been taunting. I think it's probably the second one,
but who knows, it could be the first in this day and age.
Holy crap, all right. She went on to tell the dad they
were going to suspend him from borderline harass for borderline harassment. But these students
taunting the son did not seem to matter to the dean, according to the
dad. Here they took the word of the other kids above my sons.
According to the father, his son was suspended for three days. See this
is I want to I want to have a lot more information here because it
sounds so illogical. But it also with all the other stuff, that we've
seen, Like like I said, with the Gadsden flag and whatnot, it
also sounds perfectly within the realm of possibility. But I guess you would have
to argue, if this is exactly how you say it is, why would
you leave your kid in the school one that would do this where other students
can literally mock this kid's religion. And by the way, I'll play the
what if game. I'm very curious how you think this would gone down if
some chick showed up in a burka and the other kids started mocking her,
you know, her religious reasons. So I'm just pointing that out anyway.
Eight forty three case O Day radio program braced Agrick from the Weather Channel.
We got we've been in back in school. We're not even in school in
a lot of places in North kind I've been back in school for about five
minutes and there's already everybody's all mad and kids are getting suspended. So already,
yeah, I'm telling you, man, dude, a few years ago,
they had like the first day of school or the first week of school,
they already had a teacher get arrested for fooling around with a student.
Oh gosh, it's like, you know what, like, how does that
work? You just feel like you got to get first or what like when
the kids show up and maybe it was going on over the summer, you
know, summer school. Baby, I don't well, two things, remember
all the details there, but holy cow man, yeah, two things.
I never have fulled around with the teacher and I never got suspended. So
there's that I pulled around with the teacher. Did you I dated a teacher
for quite was. I wasn't a student of hers. But wow, that's
what I meant. Oh okay, yeah, all right, So I'm just
I didn't know what you meant. I was saying. Yeah, yeah,
just I mean you know the hop anyway? Yeah, yeah, there are
there were two even when I was back in the day. There are schools
that are closed though because of our tropical storm. And it's moving away but
slowly, still heavy rainfall. But with each passing scan of the radar,
seeing the rain continued to go east, the clouds even starting to break up,
getting some sunshine now and your wake and down your Fayetteville and east there's
more clouds, but some sun started to come out there more towards the west.
As we get out into the Tryad looks real nice and down there Charlotte
on the mountains, a little bit of fog, but other than that,
the heaviest stuff right out near the coast, where reports are five six seven
inches of rain, maybe three to four feet of surges come in in some
spots, really not terrible. We'll get some sound side flooding alsos of storm
passes, so there will be some water where it's not supposed to be.
But hopefully we'll get it cleared out by the weekend, and the weather's actually
gonna be great. We're gonna get this sun. It's gonna be out for
multiple days in a row, a warming trend. By the weekend. We're
gonna be well into the eighties and maybe even some nineties coming in by Sunday
Monday. So we're talking about a run here where we're gonna have no rain,
bloody of sunshine, some cool overnights Tomorrow morning, Saturday morning, even
Sunday morning. Most of us in the fifties, you know, those real
nice mornings we love to feel. Now in early September, it'll start getting
a little milder towards Labor Day and early next week, where we'll see the
lowest start to come up back to the mid upper sixties. So now,
you know, not quite done yet. Casey with the warm weather, probably
get another little you know, get these little bursts in September of the hot
stuff. But it looks like we're starting to see some hens now of some
cooler weather coming in. Okay, all right, thank you, sir.
We'll chat tomorrow. Have a god one, yes, sir, all right,
eight forty six. We'll take a break and be back with Jeff Ellinger.
Hang on,
