WEBVTT 1 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.000 All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is Thursday, last 2 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:39.560 day of August. Time flies. We got add case O Day radio program, 3 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.039 Doo do doo, doo doo. All right, coming up on the 4 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.719 show, we will dispel you of beer goggles. Apparently that's not a thing 5 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.880 tell any man. The funnest job just has to be researchers getting grants for 6 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:02.119 dumb studies. That oh that I agree with, but you know, we'll 7 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.400 we'll get into that. But you know, when you hear somebody's getting like, 8 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.400 you know, a couple hundred grand to give cocaine to monkeys, you 9 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.719 kind of went in on that action. Looking at you wake Forest. Yeah, 10 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.560 that was a wake Forest study, very famous back in the day, 11 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:27.359 wasteful wasteful studies list that who was It was a great who used to put 12 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.560 that out. It was like the Iowa Senator. Well, anyway, I 13 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.840 want in on that action because I'm just looking at another couple of studies and 14 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.519 I'm like, yeah, it's uh, that's a pretty good gig. So 15 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:46.920 we'll get into that. Obviously, you know hurricane or now tropical storm Medelia, 16 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.599 that that is what North Carolina sitting here looking at, depending on where 17 00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:02.879 you are feeling the effects of that. And sorry, I'm just sitting here 18 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:08.080 and I'm watching these two idiots on a giant inflatable tube. All right, 19 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:14.479 So retweeted this video at Casey on the radio. Oh that's Bay Shore Boulevard. 20 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:22.280 Holy cow. So if you're familiar at all with Tampa City, Oh 21 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:30.840 Tampa, if you head south of downtown on the peninsula there where burn Steakhouse 22 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.879 is, if you had to have a point of re oh, I hope 23 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:42.960 Burns is okay. Burn Steakhouse is amazing. The road, the street that 24 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:49.719 fronts the Bay there south of downtown, going through the Hyde Park neighborhood, 25 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.919 which is a very nice area of Tampa. In fact, I remember during 26 00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.599 a few Christmases ago when Ross and I get fired at the end of the 27 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.280 year. For those couple of weeks I went down there. I was doing 28 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.199 some fill in for the Schnitz Show, but also I was wanting to see 29 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:13.240 some friends in the area, and they got me an airbnb at like, 30 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.400 because they have really nice houses there. Somebody's like guesthouse at their giant mansion. 31 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.039 Thing was an Airbnb, and I was like two blocks from Burns. 32 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.199 I was like, you know what, I could live here right there, 33 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.080 but Bay Shore is the main It's also where they have the parade for the 34 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:35.800 Gasparilla thing, except in this case, it's a river right now. And 35 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.439 this reporter from CNN, this weather dude, is standing there, and then 36 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:46.840 behind him are two guys, two dudes, two Florida men on a giant 37 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.599 inflatable. One of them looks like he's wearing a is that a pirate hat? 38 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.680 I don't even know what's going on here, and they're just they're tubing 39 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.960 down Bay Shore. Behind that, they almost run into the weather guy and 40 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.599 one of them's got a pad, but he doesn't look real ad dept at 41 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:08.439 it. Well, you know what, that's a good way to avoid the 42 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.039 toll road because if you leave it when you come off when you go through 43 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.360 downtown Tampa, that's a toll road. And then the freeway continues, and 44 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.800 I guess they've expanded or extended it since I've been there, But you could 45 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.160 you then you could keep going on the highway until you got to the about 46 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.000 halfway down the peninsula. They're in Tampa to Gandy Boulevard. I only know 47 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.680 the name of it because that's where the iHeartMedia office is there. So when 48 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.240 I was doing filling at the time, that's where I had to go. 49 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.319 So that's why I stayed over in that area. And it was a toll 50 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.639 road, so the way you could avoid the toll is to you know, 51 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.639 go down like Bay Shore or whatever. They said. They're doing it on 52 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.839 a boat, so maybe they're just trying to be fiscally responsible, or maybe 53 00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.279 they're just you know, dudes out doing stuff that people do during hurricanes. 54 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.240 But yeah, crap obviously pushed a bunch of water into the bay there. 55 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:13.759 Holy cal all right, so we got that for you again. I just 56 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.480 retweeted the video at Casey on the radio. If you want to go to 57 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.519 the to the twitter there. I guess that's one way to handle it. 58 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.399 Oh goody good. People already retweeted it. I can't read this guy's tweet 59 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.199 though, because it has a naughty word. Do they have like they have 60 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.959 like luggage and stuff on there? I can't tell what's going on? Man? 61 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:46.399 What even is that tube they're on? Sorry? Hold on, am 62 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.959 I bought? I'm literally doing this on the fly. Okay, So yeah, 63 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.120 that's the railway on Bay Shore there. Yeah, they got like backpacks 64 00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:01.199 and stuff and I don't know that's a pirate hat. It's just weird, 65 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.160 man. And I like how they're not even talking to the reporter. They're 66 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.279 just like, yeah, you know what, we're not here for you, 67 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.720 and they're just cruising down the road there. Good lord man. All right, 68 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.399 So but that's not the only insanity out of out of Florida. We'll 69 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.040 get into. You know, yesterday we're the governor. And yes, I 70 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:30.920 understand he is a political candidate for president, But why you think in the 71 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:38.920 middle of the hurricane press conference where he is clearly not he's not talking about 72 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.720 the campaign or any of the rest of it. I understand that things are 73 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.759 always political when you're dealing with a politician, why you feel that as a 74 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.720 reporter you have to take that opportunity to bring up Trump? And you know, 75 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:59.079 the Trump is Santist dichotomy just can't help themselves. So let me get 76 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:05.959 let me get a little too. The presser there and specific in fact, 77 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.800 it doesn't identify the reporter here. I so she's some local idiot reporter. 78 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.920 So the santist is like, all right, here's what we're gonna do. 79 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.439 This is what we expect, this is what we're seeing here's the plan. 80 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:27.480 Remember the entirety of the media browbeat this dude, like, Hi, I 81 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:36.279 can't believe he's not stopping the campaign, right because it was one of those 82 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:42.240 opportune gotcha moments. So here is before I get to the reporter, here's 83 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.399 the kind of stuff the Santis was talking about that probably irritated some of these 84 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.079 reporters. You protect people's property, and we are not going to tolerate any 85 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.199 looting in the aftermath of a natural disaster. I mean, it's just ridiculous 86 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.839 that you would try to do something like that on the heels of an almost 87 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:05.759 Category four hurricane hitting this community. I'd also just remind potential looters that people 88 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.800 you never know what you're walking into. If people have a right to defend 89 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.319 their property. This part of Florida, you've got a lot of advocates and 90 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.480 some proponents of the Second Amendment, and I've seen signs in different people's yards 91 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.000 in the past after these disasters, and I would say, it's probably here, 92 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:28.040 you loot, we shoot. And by the way they were, the 93 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.039 way that that was being positioned with a couple of the national reports is desantists 94 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.879 said that, which I wouldn't have a problem with by the way, if 95 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.240 he's like, look, law enforcement is not going to deal with this, 96 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.720 and of course the residents of Florida are not going to deal with this, 97 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.799 which he kind of said, but the actual verbiage surrounding the you loot, 98 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:54.120 we shoot he was referencing signs, which yes, those populate all over Florida 99 00:08:54.200 --> 00:09:00.200 and not just Florida. We've seen him in North Carolina. I remember was 100 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:05.320 I think it was what surf City or What's done down where Ross's old time 101 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.320 share was. Yeah, it was surf City or it is somewhere on the 102 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.759 island there where somebody had a sign and then somebody was but hurt and then 103 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.360 I think one of the Wilmington stations did it. But Florida, man, 104 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.240 like you want to see someone. I know, California currently probably holds the 105 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:30.759 record for amazing looting videos, but those are not necessarily natural disaster, although 106 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.240 you could argue the government of California is a bit of a natural. But 107 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.840 in Florida, man, they don't screw around because there's craziness. Do you 108 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:46.440 remember the video a few years ago where they were looting. It was a 109 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.399 foot locker, right, just and they were just going down this strip, 110 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.679 mall just looting away as down the Miami area. Loot, loot, looton. 111 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.840 And the only thing I disagree with this, Santis is like everybody I 112 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.000 know in Florida, whether they live in the Tampa area or the people I 113 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.639 know in Miami, I know a guy in Fort Myers, whatever, they're 114 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.240 all of the you loot, we shoot opinion. So I think that probably 115 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:20.279 permeates. But once you get into northern Florida, yeah, arguably it probably 116 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.759 picks up some steam. So anyway, so this is what he's talking about. 117 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.759 He's getting accused of threatening to shoot looters. And then of course the 118 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.879 standard Twitter people are like, so you're saying that if somebody loots a generator 119 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.639 because their family needs it, they should be shot. You're horrible because, 120 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:45.799 as we know, when people loot during a natural disaster, it's the old 121 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:52.039 AOC. They're just stealing bread because they're hungry. Thing. You know, 122 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.080 look, you got standing water, your feet are gonna get wet. I 123 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.679 would understand why you need twenty pairs of brand new Jordan's makes sense. Got 124 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.600 to swap him out on the regular. Don't want your feet to get you 125 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.080 know, like you don't want to get swamp foot. Sure, that's totally 126 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.919 what's up. And I don't see a lot of videos following these natural disasters 127 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.200 where people are looting the home depot, but just for supplies to keep their 128 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.360 power running. So he says that, Now we're into the Q and A, 129 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.360 and you know, most of the questions are pretty standard. But then 130 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.360 we get to this idiot reporter check and she just can't help herself. Well, 131 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.600 Trump, you know, he's a resident here in Florida and he hasn't 132 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.759 commented on at all. Yes, all right, and hold on for you. 133 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.519 Yes, Trump is a resident. Does anybody can you visualize a map 134 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.759 of Florida by the way, probably it's a you know, it's got a 135 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.200 pretty unique shape. Now I want you to visualize where Palm Beaches and where 136 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:09.240 Tampa is or Tallahassee for that matter, Jacksonville, you know, areas that 137 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:18.559 actually were impacted in a significant manner by the edges of the storm. It's 138 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.519 a long way. If you've ever driven to Miami, when you hit Jacksonville, 139 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.000 right, you're like, oh, I'm in Florida now, this is 140 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.919 great, right, but it's not because like you still have your whole day 141 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.919 ahead of you, let alone Tampa, which is obviously over on the other 142 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:43.759 side of things. So any who, that's why this question is extra obnoxious. 143 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.080 So let's get back to it. Trump. You know, he's arrested 144 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.840 here in Florida and he hasn't commented on at all. It's not my concern. 145 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.320 My concern is protecting the people of Florida being ready to go. And 146 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.360 we've done that, and look, we in Florida. You just have to 147 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.440 do this. I mean, this is something we put a lot of time 148 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.720 and effort into throughout the course of each year, knowing that that there's going 149 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.240 to be time where you're gonna have to activate it. Now. We we 150 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.679 had a major one last year, one of the most expensive on record. 151 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.679 We were hoping not to have any this year. Then maybe we would get 152 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.799 off lucky and that, but that just didn't wasn't in the card. So 153 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.240 so you deal with it, right, all right, So he's got he's 154 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.919 got zero time for that crap. And to his point, also because it 155 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.320 got me thinking, there is this there is this vibe I saw with some 156 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:41.720 of the journalists down there. I'm putting air quotes on that where it's like 157 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.720 any like any time De Santists has held a press conference. And I remember 158 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.600 this thinking this last year too, having to do with a hurricane. You 159 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.840 have this big population of the media that acts like it's totally unexpected that this 160 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.159 could ever happen in Florida. And obviously what you're deal well, what you're 161 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:07.759 dealing with is you're dealing with global climate warming change, right because if you 162 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.879 remember, it wasn't until we got all those cars on the road that the 163 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:20.200 state of Florida ever had to deal with hurricanes. So like you kind of 164 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.600 have that vibe there. I saw some one of the CNN reporters yesterday and 165 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.320 he's he was at he like, this is the worst ever. And somebody 166 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:35.120 points out that literally the same elbow area of Florida where Adelia went on shore, 167 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:45.399 that same level of hurricane, with the same level of winds is was 168 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:52.039 a very famous historical storm back in the late eighteen hundreds, almost in the 169 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:58.240 exact spot, and it mirrored every aspect of this hurricane. And obviously if 170 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.639 you go back to the eighteen eighties, uh, there wasn't a lot of 171 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.799 rush hour traffic on I ninety or ninety five. Excuse me, like like 172 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.399 that wasn't that wasn't a that wasn't a problem. It was it. Look 173 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:20.200 it was still slow traveling in in Florida first, But yeah, that just 174 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.120 weren't a thing, man. So yeah, like it was. It was 175 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:30.519 just a big old bucket of stupidity during this whole thing. So all right, 176 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.159 there we go. It is six twenty eight case O Day Radio Program. 177 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.080 We'll get a little obviously in the North Carolina version of this, but 178 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.200 I had to play that audio for you this morning because you know, stupidity 179 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:50.399 ensued. One oh six one at them Talk and ninety four five w PTI, 180 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.519 two stations driving the best end talk. This is case O Day and 181 00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:03.679 Carolina's morning News. All right, welcome back. It is six forty here 182 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.080 on the CaCO Day Radio program. No. Number eight eight eight nine three 183 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.600 four seven eight seventy four. Actually, don't gravity reset our phone, so 184 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:17.679 it'll call it's a thing. It's a thing, Okay, the ghost of 185 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:22.480 the Machinet. We've probably been hacked by you know, some moonbad hacker group. 186 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.600 I don't know, but Ross is trying to do some other stuff. 187 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:30.039 So you can send email or post on social media. I'll glance at that, 188 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.360 Okay, all right, rock con anyway, all right, a few 189 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.759 other things to get to. Obviously, I was just playing some of the 190 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.639 Florida audio for you, where of course, in the middle of a hurricane 191 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:49.000 press conference, we got to have reporters getting into questions about Trump. I 192 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:57.440 mean, it's not unpredictable, but you know, obviously obviously it's you know, 193 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:07.440 it's just dumpster fire stuff. Man. Uh and then uh yeah, 194 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.119 So yeah, as we sit here and we looked to the you know, 195 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.240 the effects elsewhere and North Carolina depending on where you are, you know, 196 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:23.839 down trees, some power issues, those kinds of things. But thankfully it 197 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.240 was see one of the things that was very helpful. Yeah, I guess 198 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.519 if you could use that word in this situation is you know, Adelia stalled 199 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.680 for almost like three days prior to uh, you know, making the run 200 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.079 at landfall there. But it didn't it didn't gather. It didn't gather in 201 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.359 the same way that previous storms had gathered moisture in that same position within the 202 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.880 Gulf. If you know, when these storms get into the Gulf, even 203 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.680 more so than the Caribbean, and and they have it to stall out, 204 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:08.960 they have they have a a history of gaining significant force like Katrina would be 205 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.279 a good example going into New Orleans as well as what we've seen in Texas 206 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.279 and whatnot. And I'm sure it has to do with the physiology of the 207 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.319 of the and you know, in the weather surrounding the Gulf, but we 208 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:29.640 didn't see that. Even though it obviously did gather strength, significant strength during 209 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.839 the course of its run, it didn't take that last little opportunity to fill 210 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.880 up. So that was you know, a bit of a godsend as it 211 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.559 moves forward, But that doesn't, you know, it doesn't mitigate some of 212 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.319 the others threats out there. And I like, people are sending me emails 213 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.279 yesterday and kind of mocking the coverage. Look, and I get that, 214 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.880 but I also look, there's also people. There's also people who frankly are 215 00:18:53.960 --> 00:19:00.519 dealing with significant loss up to it, including losing their home with some of 216 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.559 these storms. I got a good, very good friend of mine lives in 217 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.000 Fort Myers and that storm that went in there last he was absolutely devastated by 218 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.759 that. So, yes, I understand that you're going to get you know, 219 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:17.319 the CNNs of the world and others sitting there. You had, like 220 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.440 their meteorologists yesterday, he was all over TV and social media. I can't 221 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.920 wait, what is this idiot's name? But whatever, I don't have it 222 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.799 in front of me, but you know, yeah, no, here we 223 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.319 go, yeah, Ryan, No, no, no, no, I'm 224 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.920 sorry. No, he's the one who was trying to bring sanity to this. 225 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.200 Bill Weirs, CNN's Bill Weir, who claimed that this is literally during 226 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:48.279 his reporting, claimed that the continued use of fossil fuels was to blame for 227 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.400 the increasing intensity of major storms, and argued that states like Florida, we're 228 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.720 so much of the economies to prend in on, you know, things like 229 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:02.640 drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, need to learn to Allen's financial interests with 230 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:07.319 climate mitigations. So he's given this whole lecture and he's talking about, you 231 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.720 know how there's and like this other meteorologist, Ryan Morrow, he was he 232 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:18.200 was literally pulling up the receipts right And that's where I was able to sit 233 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:25.599 here and read that a storm that held almost the same exact pattern literally stalled 234 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:32.160 for the same amount of days and eventually made landfall in almost the same exact 235 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.119 spot. But it happened to be something that took place back in the eighteen 236 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:42.680 hundred's. The eighteen ninety six Cedar Keys Hurricane, so one hundred and twenty 237 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:49.799 five years ago, well, prior to you know, fossil fuel usage insanity, 238 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:57.160 it behaved exactly the same. And then I what was interesting is I 239 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.720 then saw people who were pushing back on that dude going while you just can't. 240 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.920 You can't sit there and just try. You know, that's not apples 241 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.720 and apples to just pull one thing. You gotta look at that. And 242 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.440 I'm like, well, hold on, wait a seconds. Literally what gets 243 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:18.519 done every time? You can't argue that the state of Florida is dealing with 244 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.440 a record number of hurricanes this year. It's one of the latest years ever. 245 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.599 So if you know, what's good for the goose is good for the 246 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.519 gander. The eighteen ninety six Seater Keys Hurricane made landfall as well in Florida's 247 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:41.160 Big Bend, with estimated one hundred twenty five mile an hour winds, and 248 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.680 as this guy points out, that is exactly a zero percent landfall maximum wind 249 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.200 increase between eighteen ninety six and twenty twenty three, and is the two worst 250 00:21:52.440 --> 00:22:00.559 recorded storms from size and wind in the history. Again, in the recorded 251 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:06.599 history. Obviously they had a lot of time to have other really bad storms 252 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.799 that just weren't recorded, but in the recorded history exactly one hundred and twenty 253 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.759 five years apart, almost, and they were exactly the same. So, 254 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.359 you know, when we live in a world where people are running around and 255 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.799 they're used, you know, they're they're nitpicking various pieces of evidence too, 256 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:33.039 do their panic broadcasting pointing something like that out, which is exactly the same, 257 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.000 right, using these two data points that while yes, do make the 258 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.200 point that you're making, but may not tell all of the story, if 259 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.839 if people are being intellectually honest, right, because again you you don't know 260 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.319 what happened for the millennium millennia prior to that in the Big Bend area of 261 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:56.759 Florida. It's it's equally, it's equal, you know, it's it is 262 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:03.039 the trend man. So I did find that an interesting little discussion going on 263 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.559 there. Our own governor, he held his press conference, had all his 264 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.480 folks out there. They're from the government, they're here to help. So 265 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:18.519 got that. Obviously, as you check out the old doppler, who was 266 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.400 speaking of the doppler, some of you sent me screenshots of Stagic on TV, 267 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.480 and you're like, it's a big dude. Yeah, he's a he's 268 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.880 literally a giant. I haven't seen a picture of him holding a beer can, 269 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.000 but I think it probably looks like Andre the Giant when he would hold 270 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.440 a beer can, if you've ever seen that famous photo, And it looks 271 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.759 like he's holding one of those little juice things, the little juice cans that 272 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:48.039 you see like bartenders user or whatever. But yeah, I know he was. 273 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.119 He was rocketing on the television. I don't even know if that's who 274 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.200 were talking to this morning. I do was probably up all night man. 275 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.039 But yeah, he's he's a big guy. So but yeah, we'll get 276 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:06.039 into we'll get into more of this obviously as we dive into the lad Or 277 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:11.440 part of the show. Now. Current power outages here in North Carolina. 278 00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:18.359 Let's see, just re updating my little my little thing here. The hurricane 279 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.799 downgraded to a tropical storm at five pm Wednesday. The greatest float threat for 280 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:29.519 flooding is south of where where the studio is, the Raleigh studio. Obviously, 281 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:37.200 many along the Cape Fear and getting down between Fayetteville and Wilmington. If 282 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.359 you remember, obviously the significant flooding that we've seen up in those areas, 283 00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:48.039 bridges washing out all of that with previous storms. That's obviously of concern. 284 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.200 But warnings are in effect for most of the coastline as well as several of 285 00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:59.960 the adjacent inland counties. They even have a tornado watch in let's see Penn 286 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.200 Brunswick, New Hannover, and Columbus, so you know, basically the area 287 00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:10.720 around Wilmington there and the flash flood warnings out there. So you know, 288 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:14.799 obviously the point that I'm making is if you're gonna be out and about, 289 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.799 especially as you near down into the eastern and south of Raleigh part of the 290 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:25.599 state, you know, just be careful, be careful. Yeah, it's 291 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.640 thirty six total NC counties under some sort of alert up to an including Cumberlands 292 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:36.200 when of our listeners down and around the Fayetteville area, and all sorts of 293 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:42.160 school closings or delays also reported. Let's see here do do do do do? 294 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:52.119 Ah? There we go, So let's see so wake counties delayed two 295 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:59.200 hours. That's yeah, yeah, I got I got one hundred and fifty 296 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.680 of these things in front of me. So I would recommend, obviously you 297 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.359 check things individually, but we'll truck through, and we got a bunch of 298 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.880 other stuff to get to. You know what. Also, as I'm sitting 299 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:18.759 here and I'm here, we go. As I'm sitting here and I'm watching 300 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.279 some of the reports and some of the various things that are coming out there, 301 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:29.519 and then watching a little snippet from Roy Cooper's thing yesterday, You'll notice 302 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.920 nobody hit him with dumb questions, and yesterday was a political Well, I 303 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.640 guess you could pick what's a dumb question, but they weren't getting into political 304 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:45.599 questions, right, So it's it is literally possible to hold one of those 305 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:52.319 pressers and not have some reporter decide that that's an opportunity to get in. 306 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.119 Because yesterday, I know you're gonna be shocked. I hope you're all sitting 307 00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.720 down. Governor Cooper endorsed Josh Stein for governor or. I guess he looked 308 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.160 at all the folks and made his decision, which I guess nobody saw it 309 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.759 coming, judging by the way that people are like, oh, this is 310 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:15.720 amazing, look at that Roy Cooper's thrown his support behind Josh Stein. You 311 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.160 know, like people were honestly surprised and so that happened, and then obviously 312 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:25.799 the press conference happens, and none of these reporters, although remember most of 313 00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:29.519 these reporters at the same reporters who during the entirety of COVID were the ones 314 00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.240 who actually got to ask questions and we're good little boys and girls and you 315 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:41.640 know, didn't get into the overtly troublesome aspects of that, which is why 316 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.559 they were able to stay in the question asking mode. Every one of them, 317 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:51.240 by the way, is an absolute, abject coward who never came to 318 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:56.880 the defense of people who were in the same industry as them and should receive 319 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:03.720 zero respect. And frankly, if you saw him on the street and they 320 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.200 were on fire, you you know, you shouldn't bother, you know, 321 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:14.920 wedding to put him out, because that's that's not something you would have seen 322 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.319 down in Florida. Frond Santis was you know if the I can't remember the 323 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.880 dude's name, who was the dude that ran against him, who then had 324 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:26.880 like the meth orgy done in Miami Andrew whatever. Like I promise you, 325 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:32.559 if he was holding that press or you wouldn't be getting all of these political 326 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.599 questions. You may get questions like how do you think the storm will affect 327 00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:45.160 the LGBT community or something, But it really shows you a tale of two 328 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:52.039 political cabals there. All right, let's see, I was gonna get into 329 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.200 this one story, but I want to push that a little later. Here's 330 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.200 let me let me get in on this real quick. Sorry, we're having 331 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.039 to flip some stuff around. I'm not gonna get into details, but we're 332 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:10.759 having some some technical blah blah blah. So that's the technical that's the technical 333 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.680 term for it, by the way, and it's thrown me for a bit 334 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:18.680 of a loop. But we're you know, we're trucking through. Oh is 335 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:25.319 this? Oh really? The following hurricanes all made landfall on eight twenty nine, 336 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:27.759 and I'm sure it's probably more because again, we don't know the totality. 337 00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:33.920 They didn't have names before that. They were just big storms where conquistadors 338 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.640 and seminal tribe members were like Dad, that looks no that looks no good. 339 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.799 Katrina, Ida, Gustav Isaac, and Harvey. Oh okay, well, 340 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:49.119 thank you for sending me that. I'm not sure the years on all 341 00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:55.960 of those, but yeah, I knew the Katrina one obviously. Yeah, 342 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.400 I remember the I remember with the Katrina one two going back to because it 343 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:06.920 happened like the week before the Republican National Convention, the one that was up 344 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.920 in Saint Paul where John McCain was nominated and where we all got to meet 345 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:18.519 Sarah Palin and it happened to we and I remember that happened. Katrina happened, 346 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.720 and like the media was running around asking all these questions and I'm sure 347 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:25.559 it was happening at the national level, but it was happening at the local 348 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:30.359 level of State of Minnesota GOP officials. They're like, well, you're going 349 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.079 to cancel your convention, right because of what happened, you know, you 350 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.759 got to cancel your con and they were berating them on this, like why 351 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.519 aren't you canceling your convention? Never mind that the you know, the Democrat 352 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:51.720 convention also was coming up, and that was Barack Obama with the pillars remember 353 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:55.799 the Roman columns on State Where was that Denver or something. I can't remember 354 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.880 where it was, but yeah, yeah, that whole thing was going on. 355 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.559 So yeah, I remember. I remember right around that time how insane 356 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:11.720 everything was, man, absolutely all right, six fifty five K C O 357 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:19.240 D. Radio program, Ross is there's some reason that the log just oh 358 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.039 jeez, all right, I'm sorry. I don't want to ask this on 359 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:27.720 the air, but oh, okay, Ross has a wrench in his hand. 360 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:33.480 He's right, cover rolls, He's got cover rolls on with grease on 361 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.400 there. He's got wrenches in his hands. And see he looks he's kind 362 00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:42.279 of dressed like Mario, but with an impact wrench. So all right, 363 00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:45.720 I see that in front of me, and I'm like, oh god, 364 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.119 what now? All right? Check this out. Lawsuit filed by the ACOU 365 00:31:52.000 --> 00:32:00.240 in Indiana as a test case and a case that could shape Paul. Let's 366 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:07.279 see within the US District Court of the Southern District of Indiana and others on 367 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:12.359 behalf of a prison in made by the name of Jonathan Richardson. Oh excuse 368 00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:24.240 me, formally of the name Jonathan Richardson. Jonathan now goes by Autumn Corleone. 369 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.480 You can't, you can't, okay, I understand the changing of the 370 00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.279 first name. You changed your last name, so now you're literally descended from 371 00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:40.359 the God shuts your face. The lawsuit, the federal lawsuit filed on behalf 372 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:51.480 of Richardson, demands that Richardson be provided with transgender genital surgery. Right, 373 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.960 so he wants a sex change and that the state of Indiana pay for it. 374 00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.039 So the Indiana Department of This is to force the hand. Now, 375 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:07.279 depending on what state you are, some state judicial or prison systems or corrections 376 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:12.279 Department of Corrections do pay for this, but in Indiana they're not. And 377 00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:21.799 to make the whole thing even remarkably more creepy, Richardson is in prison for 378 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:30.519 murdering a baby. He murdered a baby, and now he's spending life behind 379 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:36.240 bars and has now decided, well, I'm not Jonathan anymore. I'm Autumn 380 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:44.680 Corleone. The forty one year old was convicted of murdering his eleven month old 381 00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:47.640 step daughter. But yeah, I don't. This is where I'm at. 382 00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:53.279 One, if you murder a baby, get the nitrogen or whatever we talked 383 00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:57.400 about earlier in the week, and let's do this thing. But more importantly, 384 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:02.440 there's not a chants that taxpayers should have to spend thousands of dollars so 385 00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:09.480 you can realize your true self. Your true self is baby murderer. Honestly, 386 00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:15.920 you should post his charges on the wall and stick him in general general 387 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:22.639 general general population. I'll solve this and you know what, some of the 388 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:27.440 other inmates they might actually uh, they might actually do some of the surgery 389 00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:32.360 for you. I'm just saying keeping you connected. This is ninety four five 390 00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.719 WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. 391 00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.679 All right, seven twenty five welcome back case O Day Radio program. It's 392 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:51.719 not murder that's illegal or that is legal in Chapel Hill. If you watched 393 00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:55.119 any additional parts of the rally, what she was talking about are laws, 394 00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:06.440 excuse me, laws and ordinances surrounding guns. You there are, there are 395 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:10.199 things that you can pass at a local level, but the fact remains that 396 00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:19.039 when it comes to constitutionally protected activities, you cannot you cannot go You couldn't 397 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:22.480 just be like, all right, this county, because we're a bunch of 398 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.679 moon bats in the county, guns are illegal. They try to do that 399 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.400 stuff, and you've seen different municipalities literally get sued over and over. But 400 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.320 ultimately, as it works its way up through the court, you can't go 401 00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:39.159 restrict more restricted on what are basic rights that shall not be infringed. That 402 00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:44.079 doesn't that didn't just mean the federal government. By the way, I'm not 403 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:45.320 like, I'm not gonna play through it because I think you know, sir, 404 00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:52.360 I'm assuming sir. I guess you didn't sign your name, but your 405 00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:54.960 email address looks like a dude, so whatever. I know you know that, 406 00:35:55.360 --> 00:36:01.199 but you know, go ahead and make your garbage arguments that I'm misconstruing 407 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:05.599 it. I'm not. That is a person who is actively trying to motivate 408 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:12.400 people based on their emotional reaction that they're having right now, to aid them 409 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:16.639 in achieving their political goals. Never letting a good crisis go to waste. 410 00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:21.239 That's what it is. It's wrong on that side, it's wrong on the 411 00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:25.039 other side. It's wrong everywhere, and it makes me cringe every time I 412 00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:34.440 see it. Also, if you want something to cringe, did you see 413 00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:42.639 the big announcement yesterday by the the five Late night quote unquote comedy hosts. 414 00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.760 I'll use their term. I don't know if I find a lot of comedy 415 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:53.079 to dancing syringes or whatever that weird Colbert vaxx a thing was but Jimmy Kimmel, 416 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:59.519 Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Seth Myers are teaming 417 00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:05.239 up. How many of you has your life been just have you just been 418 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:09.519 distraught in your day to day because these five idiots are not on TV right 419 00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:15.760 now because the writers strike? Is it? You know? Is it taking 420 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.480 a toll on you? By the way, how many of you went when 421 00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:21.199 I like when I did? When I saw this story, I'm like, 422 00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:23.039 oh, that's right, they're not on the air because you like it? 423 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:30.360 Never even it's not even something you think about. Well, they haven't been 424 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:31.880 on the air, they haven't been for months, they're not expected to be. 425 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.519 But they also and I this is my theory, I think they also 426 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:43.000 are feeling like they're not getting the attention that their egos require, and they're 427 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:50.400 not getting to crap on you know, the Trump or GOP people or decantists 428 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:53.239 or whoever may be. I think they've figured out a way that they're going 429 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:57.199 to deal with it, and I love that everyone's mocking them. I'll give 430 00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:05.719 you the details coming up. Thank you. Kse Is one four five w 431 00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.159 PTI in the triad and one oh six one FM talked in the Triangle. 432 00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:16.840 Wow, that might be the most horrible press release I've ever seen. Thank 433 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:21.599 you the report, Thank you for sending that to me, I really appreciate 434 00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:25.280 that. I didn't need to know that. But there's a con for everything, 435 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:29.559 you know, I mean like con like criminal con I mean like conventions 436 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.679 for everything. Right back, they just had the what do they call it 437 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:37.760 galaxy maybe it's a Galaxy Cohn, right, the one that was in Raleigh 438 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:42.360 here recently, So you get that, and obviously there's you know, there's 439 00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:50.400 stuff all over. However, apparently a convention that's been around, though only 440 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:57.960 took place on the West Coast for about eight years now, according to organizers, 441 00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:04.400 is now so successful they're going to be expanding nationwide, with plans to 442 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:12.679 do at least thirty different locations over the next two years. It's cat con. 443 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:21.280 It's a convention, didn't they They had something out at the fairgrounds here 444 00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:24.000 in North Carolina years ago where it was a cat thing. I don't think 445 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:29.599 it was at the level of this stupidity, but it was a cat show 446 00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:34.519 of some sort. And I remember that I irritated somebody because I was on 447 00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:37.599 the radio telling single dudes that they should go out there because it's going to 448 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:45.039 be a wash in women with unmarried women, which I stand by that identification 449 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:54.079 by the way, just so we're just so we're clear. I don't even 450 00:39:54.159 --> 00:40:00.360 want to know why that's doing that, dude. I'm now ross every single 451 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:07.480 email over the last twenty four hours that I've already received is now being repopulated 452 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:13.519 in my outlook with individual notifications, and it's taken over my show. What 453 00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:20.159 is going on? Man? Anyway? It's the cat con curse. And 454 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.880 one of the cities they're talking about, is it Charlotte Raleigh just says in 455 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:29.159 North Carolina. The event, the largest event, which actually just took place 456 00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:35.280 at Pasadena, drew over two hundred organized or two hundred exhibitors, and that 457 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:40.239 it costs forty five dollars to get in and also included a separate four thousand 458 00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:51.719 persons at art show. I would, honestly, I would rather go to 459 00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.519 the flatter thing that they had at the Embassy Suite cent Perry than to get 460 00:40:54.599 --> 00:41:25.800 within one hundred miles of this frid Good morning, Welcome everybody. It is 461 00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:30.800 our number three here at eight oh seven on the k c O Day radio 462 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:42.239 program. Oh man, all right, yeah, I just read I'll tell 463 00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.960 you about what I retweeted. I gotta finish this because somebody sent me the 464 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:52.519 stupid CACCN story, which is a thing, but thankfully, up until now, 465 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.039 I guess it's been a thing in California, but unfortunately enough people went 466 00:41:55.119 --> 00:42:00.920 so now they want to do it elsewhere, including North Carolina, which I 467 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:05.400 get. Look, this is mostly tongue in chief. If you want to 468 00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:07.599 go spend forty five dollars to go to a cat you know, a single 469 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:14.280 day of a cat convention whatever, again telling you guys, probably a lot 470 00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:20.559 of single ladies there, just saying, but I was reading further down. 471 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.199 We had just hit the breakthrough at the top of the hour. So it's 472 00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:29.280 not just forty five dollars for a day at this thing where you just go 473 00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:30.840 in and I'm like, well, what are you even doing there? Right? 474 00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:35.960 Can you bring your cat? What is the carpet smell like there? 475 00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.519 With all these cats mark in their territory? I can't even figure that who 476 00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:44.679 would allow them to do this? But forty five dollars is the base rate. 477 00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:53.000 In fact, many of the any many of the thousands who attended also 478 00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:59.480 decided to go ahead and splurge and get the one hundred and fifty dollars cat 479 00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:04.599 Content ticket, and my head nearly exploded. I'm like, what are you 480 00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:08.760 doing? However, then they said, so why would somebody spend that? 481 00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:15.360 I don't know why somebody spend forty five one hundred and fifty because it's just 482 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:22.360 like Comic Con or any of the rest. It allows you exclusive meet and 483 00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:31.840 greets and stuff. So those opting for the VIP ticket package were then able 484 00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:37.199 to do meet and greets with Merlin, the mad Ragdall, sponge Cake, 485 00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:47.599 and Scottish Fold, who apparently are Internet celebrity cats. You think William Shatner 486 00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:54.239 doesn't really want to be there, I can't assume that some cat sitting there 487 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:59.920 wants to deal with a hundred idiots who spend one hundred and fifty dollars come 488 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:02.920 on being like, oh, I remember that video you did, you know, 489 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.280 the one where you sat there in a dumb hat. That was great. 490 00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:12.239 It's all like Chris Farley when he used to do those interviews on SNL 491 00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:19.000 with like Paul McCartney. You're paying one hundred and fifty dollars, go see 492 00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:23.000 it. Go to the Pound, because by the cats at the Pound equally 493 00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:29.760 care about you or want anything to do with you, and you're paying one 494 00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:32.760 hundred and fifty dollars so you can get your Like. I could understand maybe 495 00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:37.480 if grumpy Cat was still kicking, why somebody might want to get a photo 496 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:43.199 with grumpy Cat. It was one of the few cats I could kind of 497 00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:47.639 identify with. But whatever a sponge cake is, I don't want anything to 498 00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:51.440 do with it. But hey, you know what, if they could make 499 00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:57.079 a bunch of money, they're gonna do it, And I guess whatever. 500 00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:01.400 You know, it's a free country. But I will not be attending. 501 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:09.079 I mean, we might send one of our our hundreds of staff members here 502 00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:15.039 down to cover it, but not me. So I'm just kidding. We 503 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.480 don't have any of that. The roster is helling gonna go, so maybe 504 00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:22.480 Kyle and News I don't know, we'll figure it out, all right. 505 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:25.119 Sorry. I get a little sidetracked by that because I just I can't. 506 00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:31.119 I can't even By the way, there's a story also on here because it 507 00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:38.920 literally is I guess it's a They just covered various conventions. Apparently this year 508 00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:45.880 saw the largest attendants at a separate thing, the largest attendance for the Big 509 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:53.880 twenty. The Big twenty are the twenty big free conventions, and they estimate 510 00:45:53.960 --> 00:46:02.960 that perhaps people were here we go. They estimate that people probably were just 511 00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.239 still, you know, not a because some of these conventions it's their first 512 00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:12.239 year back post COVID, so folks were just wanting to get back into the 513 00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:17.039 the swing of things. And I'm looking at this and people are running around 514 00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:23.239 with leaf blowers at this in the pictures and then this video because the first 515 00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:28.920 suits are so hot that there's they just keep leafblowers around to blow air. 516 00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:32.679 Maybe don't wear the suit during the middle of the day when it's hot. 517 00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:38.920 I mean, I understand when you're having your you know, your hotel parties 518 00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:46.440 or whatever, that's your thing. But anyway, crazy crazy man. All 519 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:52.079 right, that's enough of that insanity. Maybe you should combine the furries with 520 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.639 the cat thing. People can buy a twofer ticket. You charge one hundred 521 00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:00.960 bucks or something. I mean, the cats are already in costume, right, 522 00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:07.320 Look at that. They should hire me as a consultant. So check 523 00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:17.400 this out. Speaking of Charlotte, the Queen City continues continues. We'll have 524 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:23.519 to ask Pete Calendar about this tomorrow too. Continues to deal with a rash 525 00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:34.519 of public defecation, much of it in the Uptown condominium area, which has 526 00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:37.800 a lot of residents say they're at a tipping point, a dangerous tipping point. 527 00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:47.239 I'm assuming you've got a crap ton of cameras there, because they actually 528 00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:54.400 talk about maybe you should arrest people that take a on the sidewalk. And 529 00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:59.400 I've seen literally people suggest this and activists will go, well, they don't 530 00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:05.199 have anywhere to go. One, I'm pretty sure it doesn't Starbucks. Still 531 00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.360 other thing we're gonna go in there. But more importantly, even if they're 532 00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:15.280 unable to gain access to a businesses is the middle of the sidewalk or even 533 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.880 just to the side of the sidewalk. But basically, you know where people 534 00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:23.079 walk versus I don't know, some bushes. That's you know. That's the 535 00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:28.360 other thing too. How many of you have you know, you've been out 536 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:32.679 hunting or hiking or camping or whatever and nature calls. Do you just go 537 00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:37.639 You're like, right in the middle of your own campsite, just be like, 538 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:42.239 hey, guys, watch out. Let me know, No, what 539 00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:44.800 do you do? You walk into the damn woods man, you go find 540 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.840 you go find a tree yet behind or some cover of some sort or but 541 00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:52.079 at the very least, you just you wanted to get enough away from where 542 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:59.280 you're actually being that one people won't just randomly stepping it that night when you're 543 00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:02.320 a few beers in around the campfire. And two so you don't have to 544 00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:09.360 smell it. So don't give me that garbage. Especially in Uptown. You 545 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:14.199 got two you got two parks right there. I'm not by the way, 546 00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:15.880 I'm not saying that they should go there. And by the way, those 547 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:25.559 parks do have public restrooms too. How is this not a solvable problem? 548 00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:30.920 I'm telling you this is like this is Remember these were kind of the inklings 549 00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:36.000 of the first stories you saw in like San Francisco and Seattle, but it 550 00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:38.559 was still kind of joking, you know, like funny ha ha. It's 551 00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:42.199 like, God, look at the poop map, remember the poop map, 552 00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:46.119 and like, and then it became abundantly clear that like, for whatever reason, 553 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:52.239 nobody cared from a government standpoint, and then it just escalated and escalated. 554 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:59.559 This is how this stuff starts, man, This is how we get 555 00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:02.679 into these problems in the first place. By the way he is, he's 556 00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:07.280 here is an unfortunate near victim. Over the summer, my granddaughter and I 557 00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:15.960 specifically, we're walking to the Discovery Center when a female publicly defecated in front 558 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:22.480 of the Discovery Center with no regard to individuals entering the Discovery Center. Now, 559 00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:25.639 was it just was it that or was she trying to send a message 560 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:30.480 to the Discovery I've never been in the Discovery Center. Was she trying to 561 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:35.559 send a message that I'm unaware of? Like maybe somebody went over the NASCAR 562 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.719 Hall of Fame there and felt underwhelmed, and you know, so number two 563 00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:45.800 right in front, like you know, as a screw. You do we 564 00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:47.559 know if there was if there was a message, or was it just somebody 565 00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:51.000 who's like, dah, this place looks good. We see a city where 566 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:53.639 some people while away the days old day every day in our parks and sidewalks, 567 00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:59.519 drinking alcohol and drunkenly harassing other people. We see a city where vegran's 568 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:04.199 urinate and defecate feces on troup public spaces. You see a city that had, 569 00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:08.920 with noble intentions, allowed critical ordinances to evaporate last year. Yeah, 570 00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:15.400 so look, he's one hundred percent right. It is the evaporation of these 571 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:22.119 things where and it's just the argument I just made where activists who then find 572 00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:27.320 themselves in political positions will say, well, look, you know, sometimes 573 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.239 they need to steal bread for you know, because they're hungry. And then 574 00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:35.119 you're like, well, then why are they in Sephora? Is that the 575 00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:40.599 makeup store support? Right? Okay, so why are they in there stealing 576 00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:45.800 makeup that's not bread? And then you're and then like, ah, you're 577 00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:49.440 a bigot, but whatever, So you get the evaporation there, or we 578 00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:53.719 need to lose We need to lessen the restrictions on people sleeping in public parks, 579 00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:57.800 because where else are they going to go up to and including the Ninth 580 00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:05.440 Circuit Court out in California going you can't literally, you can't literally stop people 581 00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:09.159 from just camping and crapping wherever they want, which is currently an order that 582 00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:13.400 they're living under as you know, that tries to work its way up the 583 00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:20.360 judicial ladder there. So these are the these are the little things. I 584 00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:22.800 know, I'm slippery slope guy, but these are the little things that start 585 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:29.199 adding up to the big things. And I think that that is probably the 586 00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:31.480 best way to state it that I've heard in quite some time. We see 587 00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:35.559 a city where some people while away the days all day, every day in 588 00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:39.559 our parks and sidewalks, drinking alcohol and drunkenly harassing other people. We see 589 00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:45.320 a city where vagrants urinate and defecate feces on troup public spaces. We see 590 00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:49.760 a city that had, with noble intentions, allowed critical ordinances to evaporate last 591 00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:54.039 year. And I don't even know that I'd give the noble intentions too. 592 00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:58.519 But ultimately, even if you're coming from a place where you're just like, 593 00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:01.920 look, we got to do this because that, but you're not attempting to 594 00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:06.079 attack the rest of the problem in any way, shape or form. And 595 00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:07.960 anyone who does say, well, look we got to do a little police 596 00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:13.400 and you demonize. That's how you get some woman walking with a grandkid or 597 00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:16.599 a kid or whatever to go to the kids Museum Discovery Center and she's got 598 00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:21.719 to sit there and watch a grown adult drop trout in the middle of the 599 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:27.920 street right in front of her. So give me all your noble intentions. 600 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.119 I mean, put some porta potties out there. They may not use them, 601 00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:35.119 because again there are public restrooms over in that area in the park over 602 00:53:35.159 --> 00:53:40.719 there. But still all right, So well, like I said, tomorrow, 603 00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:44.199 we'll chat with Pete Calendar. We'll have to we have to do. 604 00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:50.840 It'll be that discussion, but part two or part pooh. I guess we 605 00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:53.199 could call it so because we talked about this a few weeks ago and apparently 606 00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:55.159 they didn't solve it. So what are you gonna do? All right? 607 00:53:55.199 --> 00:54:02.159 Eight nineteen hang on accidents US southbound Durham Freeway just before Ellis Road, a 608 00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:07.159 right lane block.

This is one oh 681 00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:15.000 six one FM Talk in the Triangle and here's Talk ninety four five PTI in 682 00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:20.840 the Triad. Paul, this story all right, let's go ahead and get 683 00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:30.039 into this. And I will say this is from the perspective of the parents. 684 00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:32.360 I have no reason to not believe what they're saying. But it's in 685 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:36.960 the same way that when people, especially when we get into schools, people 686 00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:42.360 will send me stories and many times stories communicated by their kids from school, 687 00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:45.920 and they're like, you need to do something, you need to get right 688 00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:51.199 after it. And in most cases, yeah, I mean, it's it's 689 00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:58.559 straight up what's being represented there. But it can sometimes be difficult to necessarily 690 00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:01.519 hear what potentially the other side is because on more than one occasion, I've 691 01:00:01.519 --> 01:00:05.880 seen people and I'm by the way, I'm not saying that's that's that's what's 692 01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:12.360 happening here, but I've seen where kids maybe have not been straightforward with parents. 693 01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:14.880 I have no reason to believe that's the case here, especially when you 694 01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:20.639 when you hear Dad as to what he was told by the by the principle 695 01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:24.119 there or the school officials. But I just like anything else, I'd take 696 01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:30.400 any any you know, experience that somebody is saying, hey, this is 697 01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:34.840 what happened if I wasn't there to witness it with a little bit of a 698 01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:40.400 grain of salt. And the reason I point that out is that it used 699 01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:44.800 to be I had a I was a lot more skeptical of some stuff. 700 01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:50.400 But now when we see all these insane stories like some kid with a Gadsten 701 01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:55.119 flag basically being thrown out of school until there was enough internet support, I 702 01:00:55.119 --> 01:01:00.199 don't know if there's anything I don't believe now right, this is the sheer 703 01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:06.679 insanity of it. And of course what everybody then saw during during COVID was 704 01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:09.400 going on, who went I would never would have believed they were teaching my 705 01:01:09.480 --> 01:01:14.760 kid that well they are so so with that in mind, this sounds very 706 01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:19.039 much within the realm of possibility. This is a seventh grade or is twelve, 707 01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:23.840 and he attends the school in Wake Forests, the Envisioned Science Academy. 708 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:30.480 I was gonna look that up is that a Is that a magnet school of 709 01:01:30.559 --> 01:01:32.320 some sort within the district, or is that a charter? That's probably a 710 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:36.559 charter, isn't it? Well, whatever, it doesn't matter. It should 711 01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:39.280 be had you should be having at a private school. So here is what, 712 01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:44.239 according to the story, happened to this twelve year old. Well, 713 01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:45.280 let me do this. I'm gonna give you a little tease on and then 714 01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:52.079 I'll get into the details. But basically the reader's digest version is Dad receives 715 01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:57.960 a call from the assistant dean at the school and says, Hey, I 716 01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.039 need you to come in. We need to have a meeting about your son's 717 01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:06.679 quote continued behavior, which is I'm sure a phone call every parent wants to 718 01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:13.800 get. Also, the use of the word continued is interesting because I don't 719 01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:19.519 necessarily I don't necessarily see something in here that would be continued. It sounds 720 01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:23.880 like this was a somewhat individualized incident, at least in the reaction or what 721 01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:29.519 they're criticizing the young man for, but perhaps maybe not what the other kids 722 01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:34.199 were doing to them. So any who's so Dad gets that call, no 723 01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:37.400 doubt he's going, what what is it? Oh, my gosh, what's 724 01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:40.400 going on. So he heads on down to the school. All right, 725 01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:46.280 So that's that's remnant, that's where the tse is, all right, So 726 01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:52.159 he heads on down to the school and what he has told then, by 727 01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:58.480 the by, the folks are at the school, little crazy man, little 728 01:02:58.559 --> 01:03:02.719 lot crazy. So when we get back from the break, I'm gonna get 729 01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:13.159 into this. Am I missing something? Why this isn't smart talk all day 730 01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:21.039 in the Triad and one oh six one FM talk in the Triangle? All 731 01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:23.559 right, good morning and welcome it his eight thirty five you're on a pc 732 01:03:23.679 --> 01:03:27.079 O day radio program. I could have gone, you know what, I 733 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:32.880 was good not seeing that there is a I tweeted the video out so you 734 01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:35.920 can go look at it because if I got to see it, so you 735 01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:40.760 a computer animation of what happens to a person when they're in a submersible that 736 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:47.280 implodes at ten thousand feet under the sea and it's not singing crabs, And 737 01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:52.559 like, on one hand, I'm watching this thing and like it makes sense 738 01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:55.920 what they're attempting to communicate due to the immense pressure and what some of the 739 01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:00.840 folks talked about during the during that story about you know what it would do 740 01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:04.719 the human body and essentially it's mincemeat, right you turned you want to talk 741 01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:09.320 about turned to miss? There you go. But it's like in the but 742 01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:14.800 then you watch it and the times where they show the dude getting turned into 743 01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:18.000 miss, they also put like a weird explosion graphic on it. So now 744 01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:26.199 I don't know if they're being serious, but I don't want to go on 745 01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:31.519 your submarine tour. Okay, I'm pretty good with that. But you can 746 01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:34.920 go check it out at Casey on the radio. It's it's there for you. 747 01:04:35.400 --> 01:04:40.960 All right, So back to this, This happened according to the According 748 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:48.000 to the story, here at the Envisioned Science Academy and Wake Forest, where 749 01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:55.079 a twelve year old he's in seventh grade, something happened at school. Dad 750 01:04:55.119 --> 01:04:58.199 gets a call from the dean, their assistant dean, saying, hey, 751 01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:00.920 you gotta come in. We got to talk about your kids behavior, which 752 01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:05.840 is just I'm sure every parent's favorite call to get. And this is the 753 01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:11.079 story as it was communicated by the father. Who who did he do an 754 01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:15.239 interview with Todd Starns all right, so Todd Starn formerly Fox News, but 755 01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:20.280 now he does his own thing. Okay, So according to dad, he 756 01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:26.800 was told that several of the boy's classmates had started a conversation during the previous 757 01:05:26.840 --> 01:05:34.480 school year about Christianity, and his son had explained how they quote needed a 758 01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:42.039 relationship with Jesus to go to heaven. The assistant you know it's a woman, 759 01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:45.800 Okay, she the assistant dean told him the father that his son had 760 01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:51.960 violated Title nine. Do any of these people understand any of the laws or 761 01:05:53.079 --> 01:06:00.360 rules or history? How is it where pop your kid is not your The 762 01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:05.039 Title nine is about conduct and I have and it's it's a wildly abused thing, 763 01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:12.199 which you could argue was intentional by some of the folks. Uh is 764 01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:18.320 mostly about you know, screwing up college sports allocations for fairness or screwing with 765 01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:23.280 I guess you can. It's your opinion whether they think it's screwed up, 766 01:06:23.320 --> 01:06:29.760 but screwing with allocations and having to literally cut programs that in many cases we're 767 01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:33.960 not just successful and sought after, but it might have even made been a 768 01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:42.400 little profitable for the schools because the interpretations where things you know, we're we're 769 01:06:42.440 --> 01:06:49.480 absurd, like well, you know, there's colleague football is really expensive to 770 01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:56.880 operate, but it generates a lot of revenue. Anyone who's who's just you 771 01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:00.239 know, just paid up all of your season tick it's over at State or 772 01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:03.960 UNC or Wake Forest or whatever. You know what I'm talking about. Why 773 01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:08.440 do I have to give another ten thousand to the club. This is dumb, 774 01:07:08.719 --> 01:07:11.559 And don't even get me started on the parking stuff. But whatever, 775 01:07:12.360 --> 01:07:15.119 it's you know, it's crazy, crazy amount of money. And then you 776 01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:17.039 had people that were interpreting Title nine. It's like, well, the either 777 01:07:17.079 --> 01:07:21.519 the same amount of money or the same number of student athletes who are women 778 01:07:21.639 --> 01:07:27.360 have to be served. Also, if you're if you have like the swimmer 779 01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:30.559 who's who's a biological male but competed on the women's team, which side of 780 01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:33.559 the Title nine algorithm does that go on? I was just thinking of that. 781 01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:39.480 I don't know. But then people were like, well, you know, 782 01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:43.719 we had to cut X y Z because you know, there's sixty players 783 01:07:43.800 --> 01:07:46.880 or whatever over on the football team, and h the same amount of money 784 01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:50.000 should be spent on the women's gymnastics team. And by the way, I 785 01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:54.920 got no beef with women's gymnastics. Obviously a lot of people love especially when 786 01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.480 you get around you know, the the Olympics it's one of the most watch 787 01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:05.159 sport and what's her bucket? She just won like her eighth World Gymnastics championship, 788 01:08:05.199 --> 01:08:12.639 which is just ridiculous. Go USA, love it. But under there's 789 01:08:12.760 --> 01:08:16.720 no way, shape or form that's arguing that the women's gymnastics program should have 790 01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:20.800 the same revenue outlay as the men's football team, which, by the way, 791 01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:25.319 it doesn't even the men's football team. It's the football team as women 792 01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:30.439 have attempted to and in even in Division one University of Colorado, and there's 793 01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:35.720 one other where women did make the roster. So don't give me any of 794 01:08:35.760 --> 01:08:41.199 that garbage. But whatever, the kid didn't violate Title nine for talking about 795 01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:46.119 Christianity, especially when it appears as you go through the story that the other 796 01:08:46.199 --> 01:08:51.560 kids are making fun of this kid. He's not even the one who brought 797 01:08:51.640 --> 01:08:56.880 it up. In what the dad says was communicated to him by the school, 798 01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:02.800 she told me my son had violated Title nine. No he didn't. 799 01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:11.319 He didn't because he can't because he's not the school, he's not the administration, 800 01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:16.079 he's not the school board, dad said. The two kids who had 801 01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:24.319 complained interjected themselves into the conversation and began ridiculing my son about his faith and 802 01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:34.039 how stupid it was. Did they violate Title nine? The dad told Starnes 803 01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:39.880 that the school's dean told him that the school's dean and other students had been 804 01:09:39.920 --> 01:09:45.079 taunting his son. But this sentence is weird. Are you implying that the 805 01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:53.039 dean or there's a There's a typo in this sentence, which makes it a 806 01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:55.880 little difficult to understand, because in one way, it could be the dean 807 01:09:56.079 --> 01:10:00.600 was taunting the kid with the other students, or that the dean told you 808 01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:06.680 that the other students have been taunting. I think it's probably the second one, 809 01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:09.600 but who knows, it could be the first in this day and age. 810 01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:13.720 Holy crap, all right. She went on to tell the dad they 811 01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:19.359 were going to suspend him from borderline harass for borderline harassment. But these students 812 01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:26.039 taunting the son did not seem to matter to the dean, according to the 813 01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:30.039 dad. Here they took the word of the other kids above my sons. 814 01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:35.720 According to the father, his son was suspended for three days. See this 815 01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:39.760 is I want to I want to have a lot more information here because it 816 01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:45.560 sounds so illogical. But it also with all the other stuff, that we've 817 01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:48.039 seen, Like like I said, with the Gadsden flag and whatnot, it 818 01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:57.039 also sounds perfectly within the realm of possibility. But I guess you would have 819 01:10:57.119 --> 01:11:00.560 to argue, if this is exactly how you say it is, why would 820 01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:04.680 you leave your kid in the school one that would do this where other students 821 01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:11.520 can literally mock this kid's religion. And by the way, I'll play the 822 01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:14.920 what if game. I'm very curious how you think this would gone down if 823 01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:17.880 some chick showed up in a burka and the other kids started mocking her, 824 01:11:17.960 --> 01:11:24.520 you know, her religious reasons. So I'm just pointing that out anyway. 825 01:11:24.680 --> 01:11:30.000 Eight forty three case O Day radio program braced Agrick from the Weather Channel. 826 01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:31.760 We got we've been in back in school. We're not even in school in 827 01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:34.199 a lot of places in North kind I've been back in school for about five 828 01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:39.439 minutes and there's already everybody's all mad and kids are getting suspended. So already, 829 01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:42.399 yeah, I'm telling you, man, dude, a few years ago, 830 01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:45.239 they had like the first day of school or the first week of school, 831 01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:48.680 they already had a teacher get arrested for fooling around with a student. 832 01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:53.520 Oh gosh, it's like, you know what, like, how does that 833 01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:56.279 work? You just feel like you got to get first or what like when 834 01:11:56.279 --> 01:12:00.079 the kids show up and maybe it was going on over the summer, you 835 01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:03.960 know, summer school. Baby, I don't well, two things, remember 836 01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:06.840 all the details there, but holy cow man, yeah, two things. 837 01:12:06.920 --> 01:12:11.920 I never have fulled around with the teacher and I never got suspended. So 838 01:12:11.960 --> 01:12:15.319 there's that I pulled around with the teacher. Did you I dated a teacher 839 01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:18.159 for quite was. I wasn't a student of hers. But wow, that's 840 01:12:18.159 --> 01:12:21.279 what I meant. Oh okay, yeah, all right, So I'm just 841 01:12:21.640 --> 01:12:25.399 I didn't know what you meant. I was saying. Yeah, yeah, 842 01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:29.960 just I mean you know the hop anyway? Yeah, yeah, there are 843 01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:33.079 there were two even when I was back in the day. There are schools 844 01:12:33.119 --> 01:12:40.199 that are closed though because of our tropical storm. And it's moving away but 845 01:12:40.319 --> 01:12:43.960 slowly, still heavy rainfall. But with each passing scan of the radar, 846 01:12:44.600 --> 01:12:46.920 seeing the rain continued to go east, the clouds even starting to break up, 847 01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:51.159 getting some sunshine now and your wake and down your Fayetteville and east there's 848 01:12:51.199 --> 01:12:55.800 more clouds, but some sun started to come out there more towards the west. 849 01:12:55.880 --> 01:13:00.000 As we get out into the Tryad looks real nice and down there Charlotte 850 01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:00.880 on the mountains, a little bit of fog, but other than that, 851 01:13:01.520 --> 01:13:06.640 the heaviest stuff right out near the coast, where reports are five six seven 852 01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:10.760 inches of rain, maybe three to four feet of surges come in in some 853 01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:15.239 spots, really not terrible. We'll get some sound side flooding alsos of storm 854 01:13:15.279 --> 01:13:19.520 passes, so there will be some water where it's not supposed to be. 855 01:13:19.560 --> 01:13:23.600 But hopefully we'll get it cleared out by the weekend, and the weather's actually 856 01:13:23.600 --> 01:13:25.960 gonna be great. We're gonna get this sun. It's gonna be out for 857 01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:29.119 multiple days in a row, a warming trend. By the weekend. We're 858 01:13:29.119 --> 01:13:31.880 gonna be well into the eighties and maybe even some nineties coming in by Sunday 859 01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:35.800 Monday. So we're talking about a run here where we're gonna have no rain, 860 01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:42.520 bloody of sunshine, some cool overnights Tomorrow morning, Saturday morning, even 861 01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:45.319 Sunday morning. Most of us in the fifties, you know, those real 862 01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:48.760 nice mornings we love to feel. Now in early September, it'll start getting 863 01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:53.079 a little milder towards Labor Day and early next week, where we'll see the 864 01:13:53.079 --> 01:13:55.840 lowest start to come up back to the mid upper sixties. So now, 865 01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:59.560 you know, not quite done yet. Casey with the warm weather, probably 866 01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:01.960 get another little you know, get these little bursts in September of the hot 867 01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:05.000 stuff.
