WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:05.759
Wednesday, So you know, yay
for that. We like that getting to

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:14.439
the halfway point. And just because
it has pretty much been the standard over

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:19.640
the last few weeks, everybody's still
out of their mind. It's not just

4
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.120
you. I know, you're sitting
there, You're going on to Twitter.

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.320
You're like, I don't know,
does it seem like crazier than usual?

6
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:36.600
And I think it does, and
it's a combination of things, but yeah,

7
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.640
I'm not Yeah, I think we
have lulls, we have valleys and

8
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:48.240
peaks and everything. But it makes
doing a show easy, so we definitely

9
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.520
appreciate that component. Provides lots of
good audio, probably much to Ross's dismay

10
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.119
since he's one who has to dub
it in and leap it out and do

11
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.520
all that. But you know,
that's the still doing business, all right.

12
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.519
I was just reading something so fascinating
before the show, and look,

13
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.879
is it as fascinating as the President
of the United States in Florida yesterday saying

14
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.040
this in a sense, I don't
know why he's We're surprised by Trump.

15
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.959
How many times he have to prove
we can't be trusted? Hmm, I

16
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.079
don't know how many? What is
the number? How many. Maybe that's

17
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.799
an interview. I don't know,
mister president. How many times do you

18
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.920
have to prove you can't be trusted, not just you, but all those

19
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.280
around you? I don't know,
but I feel like a lot of people

20
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.400
hit that number just saying Ross,
do you think you've hit that number?

21
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.719
Although, to be fair, I
generally had that feeling about all the politicians.

22
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:55.560
So so he said that, and
then and that, you know what,

23
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.159
there's there's more on this. I'm
going to get to this, let

24
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.760
me do let me do this,
and I'll tell you about this fascinating article

25
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:08.840
because I really want to package deal
all of the presidential insanity here. So

26
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:20.000
he was in Florida and that I
can only think he said that because he

27
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.280
wanted to detract from something that insane. Other insane thing that he said,

28
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:29.560
but one that is kind of I
don't know, it's it's politiciany. He

29
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.039
you know, he's sitting there with
a rally of folks. He's got Nikki

30
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:39.639
Freed, that psychopath who is what
ag former AG commissioner Florida ran for gubernatorial

31
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:49.960
primary last time around. Got smoked
anyway, So oh that's great, all

32
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.719
right, I don't need to pop
up, thank you. So in addition

33
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:59.120
to that, he's at this rally
in Florida and it's it looks like they

34
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:10.280
tricked residents of a senior living facility
into some sort of common space with free

35
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.199
food offers. But and only a
few of them showed up. That being

36
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.639
said, he's got he's got freed
there and a couple other people, and

37
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:27.400
I had to watch. I watched
the President of the United States, who

38
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:34.240
is a purported Catholic. I know, I know, I know, because

39
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.680
you're trying to square You're like,
well, wait a second, how how

40
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.919
can you claim to be Forget that
for a moment. That's not even the

41
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:47.080
worst part. But I watched the
President of the United States, who,

42
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:57.000
if you remember, was referred to
as quote the most Catholic president ever.

43
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.479
I'm trying to remember who made that. I can't remember if it was it

44
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.840
was at Jean Pierre who said that
whatever, it might have been socky back

45
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:14.120
in the day. So this is
a this is for all practical purposes,

46
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.600
an abortion rally. Okay, that's
what they're talking about. That's the gist.

47
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.759
Obviously, that is kind of one
of the driving issues. So pretty

48
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.399
much anywhere Biden's doing a campaign rally
that is likely to be a topic of

49
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.959
discussion. This in in Florida,
it is really the you know, the

50
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:38.000
driver for where they're rallying people.
And that's fine. You can go ahead

51
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.199
and rally on whatever political issue you
want and then voters will judge. And

52
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:51.240
then he did something that I've done
a thousand times before as somebody who you

53
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.639
know, we were, My family
was Catholic from birth. In the middle

54
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.480
of a woman talking about, hey, you know, let's let's the abortion

55
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.120
stuff, Joe Biden did the sign
of the Cross, right, And I

56
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.279
guess for those of you if you've
ever watched somebody you know, you know

57
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.000
they do the four point touch,
right, so you know, father son

58
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.720
and the Holy Spirit the hand,
Okay, all right, during a discussion

59
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.279
about abortion at an abortion rally,
he did the sign of the Cross.

60
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:31.959
And I don't know, man,
I find that insane. That's just me

61
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:46.360
doing that in the middle of Now, to be fair, he might have

62
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:53.160
needed to bless himself, right,
because that's what you So when you do

63
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.680
the sign of the Cross, that's
that's you blessing yourself before you begin prayers.

64
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:06.040
Okay, that's that's there's there's more
complexity. That being said, there's

65
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.160
that's why you have to a lot
of complexity within the Catholic religion. But

66
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:18.560
as the most Catholic president ever or
whatever he had, he knows or he

67
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.199
used to know. I don't know, but I mean, I know,

68
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:27.240
I know, but I don't know
if he knows. But it was really

69
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:34.600
awkward, man. I was honestly, I was waiting for for the wafers

70
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.120
to show up or something, and
it's it it you know what it reminded

71
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.399
me of. It reminded me in
a small way of when like some musician

72
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.000
goes, all right, so for
the video to my hit song, We're

73
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.079
gonna do this black mass satany thing
right where it's like, you know,

74
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:59.439
where there's an intent to uh,
to really irritate people. But then I

75
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.319
realized it just Joe By and Joe
because he's also you know, spouting the

76
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.519
thing I played in a sense,
I don't know why he's we're surprised by

77
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.040
Trump? How many times he have
to prove we can't be trusted? Right?

78
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.600
So who the hell knows? All
right? Six fifteen KCO Day Radio

79
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:25.319
program. So what was the fascinating
thing I just read? It was an

80
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:31.879
account of what might have been on
in a very very famous TV show that

81
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.519
I had no idea about. I'll
fill you in on that plus the rest

82
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.839
of the news of the day.
We'll get to it KCO Day radio program

83
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.480
Ross Married with Children, Yay,
your nay? What are your thoughts on

84
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.399
that show? That was one of
the shows growing up that I wasn't really

85
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.720
allowed to watch, but I would
like try to, like sneak watch.

86
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.680
Yeah, it was like a dirty
show. My mom was like, it's

87
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.079
a dirty show. Yeah, what
are you doing it? You know?

88
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.160
It was it was like the two
shows I can remember like that. I

89
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.879
was like, for you know,
you're forbidden from watching these shows Married with

90
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.040
Children and Beat with and butt Head, and I watch both of them.

91
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:09.639
What no, I'm telling your mom? Dude, Well I'm a I said

92
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.839
you. I'm gonna send your mom
an email right now. What's your email

93
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.319
address? Does she have one?
To my mother does not have internet?

94
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.040
Yeah, that's what I was got
a driving out. All right, you're

95
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.600
gonna be in trouble next time you
talk to her. But could you imagine

96
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:33.039
without Peggy al and Peggy The actor
and actor and actress segel And O'Neill,

97
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.240
No, they sort of like they
sort of like became those characters. They're

98
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.120
those actors or those characters. Whenever
you see them in something else, you're

99
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.879
like, that's Albundy or that's Peggy
Bundy. And you know, he's had

100
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:50.320
a lot of success in although there's
a there's striking similarities to his character with

101
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.200
was a Modern Family. Right You
ever seen any of The Modern Family with

102
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.120
Albert Bright. You watch it and
you're like, that's the show with Albundy.

103
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.000
Yeah, which is I I'm fine
with. But it almost wasn't them.

104
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.440
In fact, I was reading this
about when they wrote the show,

105
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.879
who they actually wanted to play Alan
Peg and it was neither of those two.

106
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.960
It was some pretty famous comedians at
the time. And the problem was

107
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.440
the two comedians hated each other,
I guess, or wouldn't they didn't They

108
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.039
wouldn't work together. I don't know
if hated is the right word, but

109
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.519
they ain't get along, and so
it got really complicated, and so they

110
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.399
had to expand their search and they
and some other ideas. But the two

111
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:48.639
initial individuals that writers wanted for for
Peggy was Roseanne Barr. Okay, I

112
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.720
get yeah, you'd see some you
know, she she was right in the

113
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.159
middle of the whole domestic goddess upstart
when she was really hitting her. I

114
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.639
don't know, man, he said, Rose in Bar. Yeah, because

115
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.600
when she first came out, she
was sort of like big you know,

116
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.759
and Peggy say what you want about
Peggy Bundy, she was kind of like,

117
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.840
you know hot, right. Yeah, Well it was the Yeah,

118
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.639
it was the like she had the
shape where it was the whole thing where

119
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.039
it was like that was an extra
layer where every time she, you know,

120
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.679
get flurry with Ali didn't want anything
to do with it, and he'd

121
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:28.399
like, what's wrong with her?
So, but the the lead, the

122
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:37.240
AWL character was written for Sam Kinnison. It's been amazing, I mean and

123
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.159
no, because he has way too
much energy to be al buddy. Yeah,

124
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.679
if you're going to give it up
right, El Bundy's on the couch

125
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.879
and you're right, he's defeated.
He's a defeated man, and Sam Kinnison

126
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.240
is not defeated. Sam Kinnison is
like, I will yell at you until

127
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.879
I get what I want, right, So that those two when they realized

128
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:07.399
that wasn't going to work on Owl. Next up, Michael Richards, Yeah,

129
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.960
like like like Kramer, Kramer,
Yeah, that's crazy. Maybe maybe

130
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.159
he could have pulled it off.
I don't know. Uh and uh so

131
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.919
they're they're going through and then for
a moment they're like, I don't know

132
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.080
for we're just not finding people,
and then Ed O'Neill's agent set him down

133
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.679
and uh or Ed O'Neil decided he
was going to go audition. O'Neill's agent

134
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.840
called him and told him, your
loone, this is an upstart network.

135
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.759
This is bad for your career.
And I think before then he had been

136
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.919
in scarface. Yeah, I'm not
sure what all things he had been in

137
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.480
there, but it's super weird to
see him in that. He's like wearing

138
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.840
this this suit, like the Miami
suit, and he's like, yeah,

139
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.679
or am I thinking of Miami Vice
he was one of the two. I

140
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.399
think it's like yeah, but I
can't remember him. Weird when you see

141
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.159
a character free whatever their defining role
is, right, So the Richards said,

142
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.480
but I guess when O'Neal went down
there, he when he was reading

143
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.639
for him, he threw in that
sigh that he that he did like and

144
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.000
they said, oh, that's that's
him. And then Katie sigal Er say,

145
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.799
I can't remember I pronounced her name. She was a you know,

146
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.120
she was in the rock bands.
That was her thing. She was a

147
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.120
musician. And she showed up literally
wearing that, you know, that kind

148
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.759
of outfit because of who she was. She dressed like that as as a

149
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.720
rocket roller. And they're like sold
And I didn't realize that when they shot

150
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:37.840
the pilot, the two kids were
different actors, and they tested it and

151
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:39.360
while they liked it, they didn't
they didn't like the kids in there,

152
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.799
so they just recast them and boom, there you go. But yeah,

153
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.679
man, and uh and so I
was reading this and the impetus was it

154
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:56.159
was uh. But they Sam Kinnison
did did come and play a different character

155
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.919
on the show for a couple episodes, and apparently it was at that point

156
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:09.360
that producers realized what a bullet they
had dodged. According to and remember,

157
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:15.399
this isn't a time in Hollywood when
you didn't have a me too movement running

158
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.600
around, You didn't have intimacy coordinators, you didn't have DEI officials from the

159
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.159
network there. And yet they say
the Kinnison during his time on set so

160
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:35.039
offended every member of the cast and
crew. Let's see here, every member

161
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.159
of the cast and crew. Because
he showed up on the first day of

162
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:45.080
filming and proceeded to when being introduced, you know, everyone's standing around for

163
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.200
they start filming, he turned around
and mooned everybody, and once Kinison later

164
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.480
realized that he might have offended folks, he invited everyone to a birthday dinner

165
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.799
at Spago to make amends. And
then when they showed up, Kennison,

166
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.639
who at the time had the you
know the screw you money, instead had

167
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.720
strippers serve everyone. I don't I
don't know how they agreed to that,

168
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.559
but whatever, I think. The
weird trivia with that show. You know,

169
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.399
it's connected to professional wrestling, all
right, I've heard, I've heard,

170
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.279
I don't remember. Yeah, the
creators of the show were big professional

171
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.200
wrestling fans. King Kong Bundy was
on an episode of it, right,

172
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.320
But the Bundys were named after King
Kong Bundy and the neighbors next door the

173
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.440
Roads. It was spelled differently,
but they were. It was after Dusty

174
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.559
Rhodes. Oh really, yep,
you know it's funny. It's funny too

175
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:43.519
because let's see here, because there
is speaking of the creator here we go,

176
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.919
Yeah, Gary Cohen. Apparently the
shooting went so well that by the

177
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:56.320
third day, Kennison reportedly waved a
gun and threatened to shoot Cohen because after

178
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.440
filming, Cohen's trying to find his
girlfriend, who was a big Sam Kinison

179
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.759
fan. Yeah, and so Cohen
went over to Kennison's house to find his

180
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.279
girlfriend and Kennison came out. I
guess I don't. I've heard it described

181
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.720
as either pants less or in his
underwear waving a gun at him. So

182
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.440
all sorts of crazy. Man.
I wonder if Sam Kennison was on anything.

183
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.600
I can't believe that out okay,
clean living there man. So yeah

184
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.919
that, Uh, I'm sorry I
found that. Uh that married with children's

185
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:39.559
stuff. Fascinating, man, absolutely
fascinating. I just don't think it would

186
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.600
have worked Roseanne bar and Sam Kennison, who, by the way, got

187
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.159
no problem there. Uh you know, Kennison's nuts, but uh I his

188
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:52.600
comedy albums man probably ruined me getting
a hold of those things when I was

189
00:15:52.679 --> 00:16:00.600
younger. But holy crap, I
can't see that not being Ed O'Neill or

190
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.159
Roseanne for that matter. On the
peggy side. So all right, A

191
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:11.799
couple things yesterday there was a very
very big, big deal regulatory ruling.

192
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:22.120
And keep in mind this is this
is when people say, you know,

193
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.360
unelected bureaucrats doing stuff and how impactful
it can be. This isn't a good

194
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.600
example of it. You can agree
or disagree with it, but you can't

195
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:37.360
argue that it is not impactful.
So federal regulators, with the Federal Trade

196
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:42.799
Commission, on Tuesday afternoon, took
a vote on a new rule, and

197
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:48.360
it is a rule that will have
impact on millions and millions of Americans.

198
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:56.080
How many of you, as part
of your employment have a non compete,

199
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.840
you know, within the with in
my industry, it is very common,

200
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.119
so full disclosure, I have one
of these, or I maybe I do.

201
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:12.400
I don't know, but you know, you get a lot of sales

202
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.000
jobs will have these, not just
within radio, TV but in general.

203
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:29.799
And I've seen non competes on medical
practitioners, you name it. But yeah,

204
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.079
I have mixed I have mixed emotions
about it because I you know,

205
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.440
in in my now getting away from
my stuff, I want to be clear,

206
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.119
I'm not talking about any specifics with
you know, my my employment relationship,

207
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:49.720
but rather conceptually, Okay, I
see non competes, as I understand,

208
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.079
especially in the world of TV and
radio to some extent, what's up

209
00:17:53.119 --> 00:18:00.799
with that, right, because you're
your branding personality and stuff, and there's

210
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.279
a lot of minutia there. But
I also see where if you're going to

211
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.000
do non competes, why severance is
a thing that needs to be there.

212
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.599
So you know, hypothetically, if
you have a non compete and severance let's

213
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:19.960
say six months each or whatever,
right, then for six months you may

214
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:26.119
not be able to work under whatever
the restrictions are, but you're still receiving

215
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.279
your compensation. You know, during
that time. Take the time you can.

216
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:36.000
You can still probably negotiate, depending
on what your says, but the

217
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.680
reality is or maybe you can't,
but you can kind of have an eye

218
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:45.559
on the ball to get you a
drift. The FTC says no, and

219
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:51.519
the overwhelming majority of non competes.
Although don't run and scream at your boss

220
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:56.079
yet, because I think it's won't
take effect for one hundred and twenty days

221
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.599
are finished, unless you know some
legal wrangling Congress involves. I'm not sure.

222
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:10.519
I'm sure there'll be a lawsuit for
senior executives though, And this is

223
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:17.839
a very very high threshold. They
non competes can still work, and they

224
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.720
get into all the reasons why,
and it's a lot of it's about strategy

225
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.279
and you know company secret stuff like
that. So that's great, just boom.

226
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.519
One day they're there, one day
they're not. And look, I've

227
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.440
seen people not just in my industry, but or not just with you know,

228
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.599
people within the radio industry, but
also people within TV and whatnot.

229
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.839
And I pay attention to this stuff
because it's it's you know, within the

230
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.279
business. It may not be stuff
I talk about on the air, but

231
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.599
I'll see stories where there's like some
host went from one place and then went

232
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:56.480
to the other and it sure looked
like they've fulfilled their non compete requirements,

233
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.920
but then the former employer sues and
it looks like it's just to be petty.

234
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.319
And I've also seen people sign them
and then just go hey, why

235
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.119
don't you as sue me, and
then lawsuits do it when they just decide

236
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.599
they're going to ignore it. So
like I get all sides, and you

237
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:14.119
can have an opinion one way or
the other. The way it was couched

238
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.960
is that the non compete was something
that is devious and was wholly based on

239
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:25.880
employers wanting to remove control and tamp
down on their employees, you know,

240
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.279
basically a way to let them know, yeah, sure you can quit,

241
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.039
but if you do for six months
or whatever it is, you're not gonna

242
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.319
work. And then that forced people
to stay in that job. And yeah,

243
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.799
I can I can see it,
and I do think that that's motivation

244
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.720
on the part of some but all
I can also understand the other arguments,

245
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.519
and then it just comes down to
your individual negotiation. So here, but

246
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:56.240
here's my question. Why shouldn't if
why shouldn't an employer and an employee or

247
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:04.920
potential employee at a time of negotiat
be able to negotiate that element well,

248
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:10.000
and well why should the government say
you can't have it? And the argument

249
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:14.880
would be why they need to step
in and do this is there are many,

250
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:22.160
many, many things that you as
part of contract negotiation can't negotiate or

251
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.559
and if you put it in the
contract, it wouldn't be legal. They

252
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.440
would they would if you ever took
the contract to court, they would say,

253
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.119
no, these are things you cannot
put into a contract. And it

254
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.640
runs the variety, it runs,
you know, or runs the gamut.

255
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.559
There's a variety of things. But
the purer question, I guess is who's

256
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.920
the government to get in the way
of an employer and an employee negotiating something

257
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:52.519
like this. And then the other
side is, well, that's the situation

258
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.319
we existed under. And there are
clearly cases where people are signing non competes

259
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.519
for jobs that have no business with
no competes, and then you and in

260
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.279
that case I recognize and by the
way, they would have a non compete

261
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:08.079
and may not even have a severance
attached to it, or at least one

262
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:14.319
that is the same amount of time. So there'd be a window, let's

263
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.240
say it's three months, six months, there'd be a window where you couldn't

264
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:22.039
work for or you couldn't you get
severance for three months, but then the

265
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.640
next three months until you hit the
end of your six month non compete,

266
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.200
you can't work. But they just
fail swooped it, man. So that's

267
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.799
that's gonna be a big deal.
I'm curious what you think of non competes.

268
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.920
Yay nay? Should government get out
of the way or are they something

269
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.319
that should go on the list of
things that are deemed illegal or problematic that

270
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:49.480
can't be contracted for because that's where
the FTC is banishing the idea except in

271
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:56.359
the very specific C level suite executive
standpoint. All right, eight eight eight

272
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:02.680
nine three four seven eight seven four, you canna let me know what's up

273
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.759
with that. Let's see here.
Yeah, it is a little self serving,

274
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.839
but I think, yeah, it's
a it's a big deal man.

275
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.240
All Right, So coming up on
the show, here's what we still got

276
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.519
to get to. Uh we got
we got Duncan news because why not?

277
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.599
Absolutely? Uh? There is uh, there's a twist, a new a

278
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:30.440
new follow up for the the migrants
who were flowing to Martha's vineyard. This

279
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:37.000
is just I guess Democrats, some
of the Democratic lawmakers who were pushing this

280
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:42.640
idea are going to get their way. And I think they think they're sticking

281
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.599
it to DeSantis or the Texas I
don't know. I don't know who they

282
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:53.400
think they're sticking it to. But
we'll let you be the judge. And

283
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.480
I feel like I should be the
NASA administrator, you know, And and

284
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.920
here's why I can make it.
I can make a compelling argument. You're

285
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.519
ready, I should be the NASA
administrator because I know more about space than

286
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:15.640
the NASA administrator Ross. You watch
a lot of Star Trek, probably a

287
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.519
lot more than anyone I know.
That's I mean, I feel like I

288
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.240
don't want to step on your toes. I feel like maybe you're even more

289
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.160
qualified, no question, although that
dome stuff may come back though though I

290
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.920
mean right, NASA is in charge
of the dome, so in a way

291
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:37.039
that fits. So anyway, Yeah, I just listen to this dude talk

292
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:45.000
does not does not fill me with
confidence. Uh in the same way that

293
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:52.279
uh who played the guy who played
uh Teddy in The Martian, Jeff who

294
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.680
is the NASA the NASA administrator of
Marshall in The Martian, Like that dude

295
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.359
looked like he knew about space.
Why I can't I remember his character Dame.

296
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:06.960
That's crazy. But yeah, this
is the actual one, and I'm

297
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.480
questioning some of this. I'll explain
what he was talking about. And I

298
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:17.680
know it's way early, but if
you probably if you want to get some

299
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.680
crush, are you one of those
people at Christmas shops year round? I

300
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:26.839
got a great idea for the Second
Amendment, loving man or woman in your

301
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.079
life. So all that more coming
up. Case O Day Radio program,

302
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:40.599
Patrick mahomes As they were trying to
get him to host Saturday Night Live,

303
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.400
and in a recent interview, Mahomes
revealed Nope, he wasn't going to do

304
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:52.920
it. Mahomes Is said to the
claims to suffer from, is it glossop

305
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:57.559
I think it's glossophobia, which is
a fear of public speaking, which a

306
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.240
lot of people do. I don't
know if I have a fear of it

307
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.680
necessarily, but I don't like it. I don't feel that it best portrays

308
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.960
me or the show, even though
we you know, ross and I don't

309
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.799
use scripts. Man, it is
off the cuff. I've just never really

310
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:18.720
liked public speaking. But I don't
know that I if I am forced to

311
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.119
do it, I'll do it kind
of thing, right, But he doesn't

312
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:23.359
like it, which is, you
know, for some people's kind of wild

313
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:27.440
to hear when somebody's you know,
a very very high profile athlete does press

314
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:33.160
conference and stuff like that. But
even a press conference is kind of in

315
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.640
your realm and is not the same
thing as And they say that like one

316
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.000
of his biggest fears is the finality
of being on live television. And I

317
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.720
will only say this, I think
that if he wanted to do something to

318
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:52.000
be really self aware. Well there's
something he could do, and also he

319
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.039
should remember that no matter how badly
he thinks it went, he should then

320
00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.960
watch the Steven Sigull episode and you
will feel a thousand times better than whatever

321
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.440
you did there. But like,
put him out there for the monologue and

322
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:08.119
then when he starts talking and you
know, and if he screws up,

323
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.720
have have the monologue stop. Put
you know, put like a game clock

324
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.319
on the screen, right, and
then get a couple actors to come out

325
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.960
or you know, cast members dressed
as uh, you know zebras are not

326
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:29.039
actual zebras. I'm referring to referees. But and then have them review it

327
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.599
and then absolve it as not have
having happened. That would be really funny,

328
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.319
right because it's you know, it
said self deprecating thing based on right,

329
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:42.480
he's kind of throws interceptions and then
they're called back right for holding penalty

330
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.640
whatever. I like him more now
because he said he's nervous to do it.

331
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:49.440
That kind of that makes him like
human. Can you constantly see people

332
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.319
that are on the show they're like, you know, I have never done

333
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.079
this before and I'm not nervous,
and they go on and they do a

334
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:56.720
great job or you know, I
semi great job, and he's like,

335
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.960
I'm terrified of it. And even
though I perform on a stage on television,

336
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.680
it's different because that's a sport,
right, And yeah, I'm not

337
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.839
I'm not gonna do it. I
like him more for that. Yeah,

338
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.079
it's uh, that would be terrifying
to me. Yeah, I get I

339
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:15.119
get it. I just it's like
there's an opportunity there by the way I

340
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.359
was written in the article, there
is one other issue I have with this

341
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:29.240
article here. So they play all
that out. Let's see here we go.

342
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.519
Uh. In the history of SNL, thirty five athletes have served as

343
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.079
hosts, and you know what's some
have been incredibly funny episodes. Peyton Ross

344
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.960
and are talking about the soft the
year the Peyton Manning episode is that's great.

345
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.759
He's just naturally funny. He's a
funny guy. Yeah, that was

346
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.759
great. There's if you haven't seen
it, there's one skit where he's it's

347
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.039
like one of those United Way,
you know, athletes working with the kids

348
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.640
saying Peyton shows up in his dad's
sweater and the kids, little kids on

349
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:02.000
the football field and with like ninety
per hour. Football is at the kids

350
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:03.960
chest, knocking them over and then
yeah, and then the kid drops the

351
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.960
timeouts in the porta potty. He's
screaming at the kids. It's it is

352
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:12.640
really well done. I would encourage
you to check that out. Hull Cogan

353
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:19.359
is hosted. Tom Brady Let's See
Lebron hosted. I don't remember the Lebron

354
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:26.000
episode. And then I got to
this name, ready, mister T.

355
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:32.720
Mister T's not an athlete. He
was a world heavyweight champion. Okay,

356
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.400
he murdered. He murdered Mickey accidentally. It is manslaughter, dude, but

357
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.519
it was before a fight, so
I mean, you can't really call that.

358
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.640
You're okay, stop stop if you
want a murder athlete. O.

359
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.799
J. Simpson hosted. Okay,
I think it was the second one,

360
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:51.559
but he did mister Now, I
will tell you this, mister T did

361
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:55.519
play. He played D one college
football, and I think they had but

362
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:59.519
then he you know, he did
the thing where he injured himself and so

363
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:02.880
U he tried to get NFL teams. Interesting. I think he went to

364
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:07.480
one tryout. I remember reading somewhere, but yeah, it's crazy. It

365
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:12.039
came out of the Los Angeles underground
to perform on national television. Is a

366
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:17.160
soldier of fortune? Okay, well, then put them on the list of

367
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.640
soldiers of Fortune. I was actually
watching an old eighteen episode and as a

368
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.599
kid, you're like, man,
this is so realistic, you know what

369
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:27.079
I mean? This is a great
show or a great show in the eighties.

370
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:30.920
Yeah, it's a kid, this
is great. This is what it

371
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.960
was like to be such a fortune. Yeah. But like there's the the

372
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.920
guys, you know, the hoodlums, you know, they're they're whatever.

373
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.400
They've got rifles and they're coming after
the A Team and they open up the

374
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.400
barn doors and they're like, come
on out, and where are they at.

375
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:42.680
I have no idea where they were. Somewhere, they had a barn

376
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.559
in a field of something, so
they opened it up, and apparently the

377
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.319
A Team they were in a dire
straits because they, you know, they

378
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.759
were out of weapons. So what
they did is they made a makeshift cannon

379
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.400
on top of this truck that they
shot heads of lettuce and cabbage out at

380
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.720
the guys that are in the barn
with the rifles trying to get them,

381
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.920
and of course, the A Team
completely decimates the idiots with the rifles with

382
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.599
the cabbage and the lettuce and it
looks like an American gladiator gun sort of

383
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.000
thing on top of this truck.
That's a shooting out cabbage after cabbage.

384
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:14.880
So many questions like one, like, okay, so they made a big

385
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:21.640
potato gun. And here's the deal. I have made a a projectile vegetable

386
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:27.000
projectile custom firearm myself out of stuff
that we had in a barn. You

387
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.519
got if you got PVC or get
some metal piping and you have like maybe

388
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.480
one of the the shrew on areas
that has like a you know, it

389
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.839
would be like a place that you
could attach in a in a length of

390
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:45.880
piping to provide you an access point
with a smaller opening. That's all you

391
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.759
need and you can shoot. We
shot candle up. We were We made

392
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.359
one with PVC that was fitting candle
open. It was amazing. That is

393
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.759
a very interesting question. I'll tell
you. It's in charge of NASA,

394
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:07.680
Bill Nelson. Bill Nelson, who
is the NASA administrator. And I would

395
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.039
assume I've never worked at NASA.
I am not at ROSS. Am I

396
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:16.279
a rocket scientist. He's gonna check
that real quick. Oh yeah, let

397
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:21.319
me check that. No, But
but I could be mistaken for one right

398
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:22.599
when people, oh, easy,
you can pull it off. Yeah,

399
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:27.920
and they're like, yeah, okay, it's probably rockets. Okay. But

400
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.559
I think if you're going to be
the head of NASA, there's probably a

401
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:37.720
few basic concepts and things that you
should know. Like one term that you've

402
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:43.559
you've probably heard and maybe even done
LSD two Dark Side of the Moon.

403
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:45.400
Are you familiar with that? Not
the album in this case, we're talking

404
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:52.720
about the actual hemisphere of the moon. Okay, I just want to be

405
00:32:52.720 --> 00:33:04.839
clear. So here we go.
The Administrator of NASA is at a hearing

406
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.839
yesterday and the hearing, during the
course of it, was asked this question,

407
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.720
mister Nelson, the Chinese. What
are the Chinese doing on the back

408
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:20.440
side of the moon? Dark side
moon? Whatever? What are they doing

409
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.279
there? Remember Chinese have sent now
two probes over there, and you know

410
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:29.960
what are they doing? Do they
not go? Well? And they're just

411
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.680
not telling us. So they build
in a big, a big rail gun,

412
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:37.960
which wouldn't be great because the reason
you know that's part of the moon,

413
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.240
that there's a there's a misnomer and
I don't want to spoil it because

414
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:46.119
apparently Bill Nelson isn't aware of it, the head of NASA. Nelson then

415
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:52.759
claimed that the far side of the
moon is what is what generally you'll hear

416
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:58.240
it referred to as within scientific circles
rather than dark side. He said that

417
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:07.039
he he doesn't know, and the
reason they don't know is because nobody goes

418
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.079
to the far side of the moon
because it's always dark there and you can't

419
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:16.440
see anything. I'm not even gonna
get into the part where we have lights

420
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:25.039
on stuff. But what does the
director of NASA really think that the dark

421
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:32.320
side of the moon is permanently in
pitch black. You're the head of NASA,

422
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:36.840
I could, I guess I could
forgive people, because look, dark

423
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:39.239
side of the moon is a little
misleading. And here's the deal. A

424
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:44.199
lot of the time it is so
for those who don't know, or I

425
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:47.960
guess, I guess never really bothered
to think about it. So the moon,

426
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.840
the way that the Moon orbits and
the way that the Earth orbits then

427
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:57.400
around the Sun. And since you
have this portion of the moon, this

428
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:06.039
hemisphere of the moon that never is
from Earth, what they mean by dark

429
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:12.199
is they mean dark in the sense
that we can't see it, but it

430
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:16.519
doesn't mean it's always dark, because
remember the little spinny models. As the

431
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:27.719
Earth is moving in its elliptical around
the Sun, there is there's a term

432
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.000
for it. Now, this is
this is where I demonstrate I'm not a

433
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:35.719
rocket scientist, but there is there
is a term for it. But basically,

434
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:39.039
it doesn't mean that it lacks sunlight
at all times. It just means

435
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:45.719
we can't see it. So is
the director of NASA. The administrator of

436
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:52.599
NASA convinced that where the Chinese land
of their probe is, it's so dark

437
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.519
it's not worth going to, and
it's never it's never come up because I

438
00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.719
feel like the director of NASA may
have input on things we may or may

439
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:06.840
not want to do as part of
the space program and probably should know that

440
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:14.480
that's crazy to me. Man or
they're covering up the secret bases, So

441
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.239
I guess you'd go that route as
well. But yes, the Administrator of

442
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:25.440
NASA doesn't understand, I would argue
one of the most well well known geographic

443
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:32.679
points in space, if you think
about it, not a clue. They

444
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:36.960
pointed out that the United States has
concentrated their efforts on the South Pole,

445
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.079
and by the way, that's understandable, and that's what you should have said.

446
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:42.719
But on the on the what are
the Chinese doing? Him saying he

447
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:46.079
has no idea? Well, who
knows. But but you know, the

448
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:51.119
reason that we've now focused on the
South Pole. There is the water,

449
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.320
you know, a little bit of
the uh, you know, the possibility

450
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:05.519
of what was the there's another term
for some of the base stuff they're looking

451
00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.079
at, but also the possibility of
me, you know, setting up a

452
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.880
fueling station or a launch station.
They have a variety of different reasons,

453
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:14.599
and admittedly I'm not the director of
NASA, so I don't know all of

454
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:22.920
those reasons, but he should probably
should. Gosh, what else does he

455
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:28.400
think is either real or not real
that he's completely screwed on when it comes

456
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:36.000
to space. I'd be very curious. I'd be very curious at what else

457
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:40.320
he's confused by. That's just embarrassing. Bro. All right, seven twelve

458
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:47.000
CaCO Day Radio program. Oh man, all right, let me get into

459
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:51.880
this. So, of course,
you remember the day we all learned that

460
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:59.000
a plane had landed on Martha's vineyard, and aboard that plane were forty nine

461
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:06.360
or fifty illegal immigrants who had been
transported from San Antonio, Texas, to

462
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:15.679
Florida and then to Martha's Vineyard and
everyone lost their crap. The media couldn't

463
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:17.800
get to Martha's vineyard fast enough.
I'm sure some of them are probably there

464
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:23.119
hanging out with their the Obamas or
something, but that that blew up,

465
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:25.519
and they, you know, like, we're gonna get We're gonna get the

466
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:31.880
sheriffs to investigate, They're gonna arrest
the Don DeSantis and the Texas Governor Abbott

467
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:36.880
and oh, they can't do this. This is an outrage, And at

468
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:43.800
that moment it was such a perfectly
played chess piece in the political back and

469
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:52.079
forth on this. You know what, I'm sorry that I just got distracted.

470
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.000
So we brought up a very good
point. Yes that probably I should

471
00:38:54.039 --> 00:39:00.800
have pointed this out too, although
I kind of did, because it is

472
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:07.400
it is what two weeks from the
last time we thought the end was nine

473
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:12.280
we all were gonna die with the
eclipse. So to have an eclipse feasibly,

474
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:16.719
you have to have the Moon directly
in front of the Sun because the

475
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:22.360
times difference in size of the Moon
to Sun and the distance are equal,

476
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:25.599
which allows a full eclipse, which
would require the Sun to beat on to

477
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:30.119
the dark side of the Moon.
Yes, you're absolutely right, that point

478
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:39.719
in and of itself should have doing
that. And NASA has video of the

479
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:49.679
dark side of the Moon because we
used the Moon as a projection, a

480
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:57.280
way to project our spacecraft using the
gravity assist from the Moon. Very famously,

481
00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:04.639
if you've ever seen Paullo thirteen,
that is exactly what Hanks and his

482
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:13.440
team are forced to do with their
failed moonlanding mission. Oh yes, yes,

483
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:17.760
that would have been yet another Yes, that would have been another good

484
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.599
moment for the NASA director. All
right, anyway back to this, Well,

485
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:27.760
that all simmered down because they realized
there's nothing you can do and now

486
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.239
we have what we have here,
right, we have New York and Chicago

487
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:37.280
and all of these big cities were
like, yes, we're Amnesty cities.

488
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:39.719
And people went all, right,
here we go. And then they went,

489
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:43.360
no, no, we didn't mean
that. We just meant from like

490
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:50.519
a distance. And well, the
thing that kicked it all off now has

491
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:54.400
a new wrinkle, I guess because
they thought they were going to get back

492
00:40:54.440 --> 00:41:00.800
at them. And it feels like
when they name a bill something just to

493
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:07.400
be snarky and jerks. So us
Citizenship and Immigration services at the behest of

494
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:16.920
activists and lawmakers have been granted what
is known as a bonafied determination, and

495
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:23.679
what that means is the forty nine
individuals who were transported from Florida to Martha's

496
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:30.880
Vineyard, or from Texas and Florida
to Martha's Vineyard based on a bonafide determination,

497
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:37.400
are that is all, that is
the last barrier to receiving what is

498
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:43.159
known as a UVISA right. So
they are on a pathway to being able

499
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:50.599
to stay here because, in I
guess retaliation, they have granted it,

500
00:41:50.719 --> 00:42:00.119
saying that the forty nine are under
the exemption of victims of crime. It's

501
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:04.960
a little hard to follow, but
hear me on this so as it screw

502
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:08.519
you, I guess in their mind
to DeSantis and Abbott and people who thought

503
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:14.239
that, you know, the Martha's
Vineyard thing was perhaps a good thing to

504
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:17.960
show exactly what is happening down the
southern border that many folks who are cool

505
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.280
with it don't have to experience.
They then decided that even though they couldn't

506
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:30.360
prosecute DeSantis, that never went anywhere. They made an argument that these individuals

507
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:35.639
were quote crime victims based on what
DeSantis did and then just rubber stamped it

508
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:42.880
in Washington so that they can literally, I'm sure one day run a campaign

509
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.920
ad or be given a speech somewhere
and be like, yes, and my

510
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:52.559
opponents are so evil. They victimized
forty nine migrants for a political stunt.

511
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:59.519
How do we know? The Customs
and Immigration Services made a determination that they

512
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:06.199
were victims of crime. How could
my opponents do this to these poor people

513
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:09.199
just seeking a better life, and
then they victimize him the moment they get

514
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:19.880
here, Mark my words that that
is what this is about. The sheriff

515
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:28.119
Javier Salazar, who by the way, is is a moon bat. Right,

516
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.400
remember this guy on CNAED he's saying
I'm gonna get him. I'm gonna

517
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:37.320
get them look into this. He
made a determination, though not in an

518
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:42.639
official capacity, I guess, but
he made a determination that, yeah,

519
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:49.320
he felt that this was criminal.
He felt during his one month investigation that

520
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:54.039
the immigrants had been lured under false
pretense aboard the plane and then stranded on

521
00:43:54.199 --> 00:44:02.960
Martha's vineyard. The UV for the
individuals will now be now approved. So

522
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.159
there you go. I guess they
are approved, and now they just now

523
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:09.960
they get to see how slowly government
works. So there you go, all

524
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:15.760
right, Jake, what's up?
Hey? I don't think the Chinese are

525
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:19.760
landing on the moon because everybody knows
the moon is gas and supplies energy,

526
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:25.000
so they're probably harvesting energy off the
moon. Well, they could be hovered,

527
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:28.920
sir. I mean that's that's a
possibility. I mean, I don't

528
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:31.719
think they're landing. They're they're they're
they're harvesting the gas off the moon,

529
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:36.320
because because everybody knows the moon is
made of gas. Right, you know

530
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:38.880
what, you make a good point? We should you know what? She's

531
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:43.440
going to be out of a job
here because I just realized, Thanks for

532
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:45.679
the call there, sir, I
just realized she ran. She ran in

533
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:50.280
primary for a different office or no, she ran for mayor. That's what

534
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:55.079
it was. She Jack ran for
mayor of Houston, didn't win, and

535
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:59.320
and as a result, I don't
know, she's she's gonna be out of

536
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:04.440
Congress. Why not put her in
charge of NASA? Look, Bill Nelson's

537
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.159
an idiot, So if we're gonna
have an idiot in there, it might

538
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:14.079
as well be one with good sound
bites. But is that not fair?

539
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:16.840
Can you can you imagine, when's
the last time you watched a NASA press

540
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:22.400
conference. Pretty much somebody had to
have been killed, right, I mean

541
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:27.400
right, there's a shuttle issue.
That's that's generally when you're watching a NASA

542
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.920
press conference until they start hauling aliens
in front of there most people. It's

543
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:35.519
exactly what happened with when we went
to the Moon. By the time we

544
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:39.960
did it the sixth time, the
ratings were abysmal because we had short attention

545
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:45.360
spans, you know, even back
in the seventies. That's crazy. So

546
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:50.920
with that in mind, put Shila
Jackson Lee. If if you're gonna have

547
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:55.079
somebody in there who actually knows nothing
about space and who once famously asked them

548
00:45:55.079 --> 00:46:04.199
to drive the Mars Rover over to
the Armstrong flag, I'll let you figure

549
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:07.719
out why the Mars Rover and the
moon landing flag they may not be able

550
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:15.119
to meet. Yeah, because Nelson's
an idiot and just took dark side of

551
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:21.199
the Moon to heart. She can't
figure out that moon landing and Mars Rover

552
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:27.039
have two different celestial bodies names in
there. Now, to be fair,

553
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:31.679
they do start with them. They
are four letters, so you know,

554
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:37.079
understandable in that sense, all right, we got Hey, we got more

555
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:42.400
on the Alec Baldwin story. I
know, but it's yeah, there's there's

556
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:47.800
a whole bit of crazy that we
didn't know on day one. And also,

557
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:52.880
yeah, here we go. How
young is too young to be left

558
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:59.199
at home alone when Texas mom decided
to check the And I understand it too,

559
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.960
kids on a cruise ship or annoying. All right, they're just on

560
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:08.480
a cruise ship and they're excited.
So but still still, if you don't

561
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:13.679
want to deal with that, then
this mom thought she had come up with

562
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:19.519
a unique solution. And we'll also
get into some of the stuff for seeing

563
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:24.800
from the Trump trial, because yesterday
already, man, already we were we're

564
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.679
just into the stupid and that's because
they said they decided to start the trial

565
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:32.679
with David Pecker, the Inquirer guy, which I don't understand from a prosecution

566
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:38.320
standpoint, why that's your first place
you're going. But whatever, we'll bring

567
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:42.559
you up to speed on what happened
yesterday. Phone number eight eight eight nine

568
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:46.320
three four seven eight seven four back
in just a few minutes. It is

569
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:54.320
the case O Day Radio program.
It's just amazing the cross section of you

570
00:47:54.320 --> 00:48:00.840
know, expertise in a variety of
fields, situations, issues that you know

571
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:05.119
that you have availability of when you
when you work in this this kind of

572
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:07.280
environment, like when you're a radio
host and you got a you know,

573
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.199
a decent audience out there, chances
are whatever you're talking about, somebody has

574
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:15.960
some really interesting inside knowledge. And
as we're going through the space thing,

575
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:21.239
Ross, did you realize it must
I'm estimating ten percent of our audience must

576
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:29.880
be a rocket scientists from my email. It's crazy how many brilliant uh NASA

577
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:34.360
would be NASA engineers are listening because
I can't argue with any of this logic.

578
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:37.639
The reason the Chinese landed on the
dark side of the moon is because

579
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:42.119
if they landed on the light side
like we do, the moon might tip

580
00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.760
over from too much weight on one
side. That's fair, sir. That's

581
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:49.159
why I think it's insane. We're
landing on the south pole. We have

582
00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:53.079
to keep we have to keep the
thrusters engaged the entire time we're there so

583
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:59.119
we don't just fall off the bottom. This is why this is why you

584
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:02.119
know, Frank me in charge would
probably be a better idea. I'd be

585
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:07.039
like, why don't we land on
the north pole right boom, and you

586
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:10.039
can, you know you can,
you can shut the key off, hang

587
00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:15.920
out, do whatever. Moon doesn't
really rotate do anything, so you're fine.

588
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:17.760
Be great if it did, because
then you could start your day on

589
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.400
the north pole with the landing,
and then when you hit the south pole,

590
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:24.880
just you know, pull the chalks
up and I guess you're the probe

591
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:30.719
or your your capsule just drops off
for those who are just joining us.

592
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:37.320
The head of NASA and in a
congressional testimony yesterday, said that we didn't

593
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:38.920
go to the dark side of the
moon, and you didn't know what the

594
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:44.000
Chinese are doing because it's too dark
to see anything. But it's not called

595
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:46.039
the dark side of the moon for
that. It's just because it faces away

596
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:52.000
from us and gets light, including
giant eclipses that just happened shining directly on

597
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:55.239
it. But I wonder what else, man, I wish they would have

598
00:49:55.320 --> 00:50:01.920
deep dove to figure out how many
other things this guy doesn't know what the

599
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:08.559
hell he's talking about. Just for
my amusement, I want to learn these

600
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:19.039
things like this, Oh, I
just thow to this. Do you think

601
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:24.239
he has like a prohibition on lactose
in tolerant astronauts it's called the milky way,

602
00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:30.840
right, Or what does he thinks
in the crab nebula a seafood business

603
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:37.199
opportunity? I have so many questions
for this guy. Yeah, I can't

604
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:40.719
believe they let him off without really
digging into how far. Oh my gosh,

605
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:43.880
I don't know. If this what
do you think he thinks a black

606
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:51.480
hole is? Probably don't ask him
that under oath Man he might find himself

607
00:50:51.519 --> 00:51:00.440
canceled. That is crazy. Does
he think the term white dwarf is a

608
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:01.719
derogative? Well, no, it's
got roll white in front of it.

609
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:05.119
So it's like you put white in
front of you can pee as derogatory as

610
00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:10.840
you want. I don't know,
man, but I do have questions.

611
00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:15.599
All right, check this out,
because I if I my head will explode

612
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:22.159
if I just dwell on that.
So a uh, day one or day

613
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:25.920
two, I should say, But
really the crux of the testimony from the

614
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:31.559
publisher of the National Inquirer, David
Pecker. I started testifying day one,

615
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:36.599
went into a day two, and
it was an interesting decision I think to

616
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:43.440
make that your your opening witness.
For a few reasons, not the least

617
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:52.920
of which is them this particular piece
of testimony. So the former publisher Pecker

618
00:51:53.039 --> 00:52:05.840
testified that what it came to bridge
of Trump vert because these guys are friends.

619
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:09.840
They you know, there were conversations
being had. However, it looked

620
00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:15.639
like the very first conversation that was
had on the whole. What happens if

621
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:22.039
people start coming up with, you
know, Trump hit piece stuff and they

622
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:25.159
want to sell their story to the
media. Because remember, the allegation is

623
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:30.840
that if somebody came forward and said, hey, I have this very toddery

624
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:35.159
tale of Donald Trump, and I
want to tell my story. By the

625
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:37.400
way, I want to get paid
for it. Can he help me out

626
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:43.679
that The accusation is that Pecker would
buy the story to and then have them

627
00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:46.480
sign all the stuff saying, hey, we own all the rights. Even

628
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:51.440
you can't tell the story. They
would cash their check because you know,

629
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:53.760
that's what it was about in the
end anyway, and then they wouldn't run

630
00:52:53.800 --> 00:53:00.360
the story, which, ironically it
seems a much more cut in dry version

631
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:07.519
of the same decisions that moonbat newsrooms
make every day right where they have a

632
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:14.320
relationship with a candidate or a politician
and even though the money's not I guess

633
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:20.119
changing hands in as specific a way
they will memory hold the story that's out

634
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:25.559
there or just ignore it wholesale.
But Pecker said that the first conversation was

635
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:34.199
not a conversation with Trump, but
rather a conversation that he and Michael Cohen

636
00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:40.159
had, and a series of conversations
during which Cohen and Pecker devised a way

637
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:47.519
to buy up and bury the bad
news stories. And that's the testimony.

638
00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:51.519
That's why I'm in my brain,
I'm like, why would you put this

639
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:54.880
guy on the stand. And one
of the very first things he tells the

640
00:53:55.000 --> 00:54:00.000
jury in this case is that the
thing that is that he and Trump are

641
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:04.760
being accused of was a thing that
he did with Michael Cohen. And I

642
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:08.599
understand that Cohen is Trump's attorney,
But when you listen to the various ways

643
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:16.360
that the that they've described some of
these there was a lot of like,

644
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:22.239
here's what you get. You get
a lot of disconnect. Right. You

645
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:30.000
have somebody who's working for you,
and their general thing is I'm busy.

646
00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:32.840
You know, when you're Trump or
you're somebody in that position where you got

647
00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:37.039
all all this stuff going on,
you may you may have your fix it

648
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:39.840
guy working for you, and a
lot of times he's just out there doing

649
00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:45.920
stuff and he's not He's not bothering
you with the details until you have to

650
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:49.599
be bothered with the details. And
that's kind of what was described by Pecker

651
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:53.719
yesterday, and that feels like it
could be problematic to try to put Trump

652
00:54:53.880 --> 00:55:00.239
right in the middle of that.
But I digress. And then they gave

653
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:05.360
some There was different stories they talked
about. There was a doorman story,

654
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.280
there was some other stuff. We
had to do, a Ted cruise and

655
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:14.159
Ben Carson they talked about. And
then Pecker said, yes that he and

656
00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:19.559
Cohendre in a conversation really on other
stuff. Positive the theory that women might

657
00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:23.679
step forward to sell stories about Trump, the you know, Trump for a

658
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:29.800
very long time had that most eligible
bachelor vibe. You've probably seen the Playboy

659
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:37.519
cover Time magazine just and so with
that in mind, they assumed that there

660
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:42.199
might be problems. And ironically,
this feels a lot like the what was

661
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:47.800
the term Limbaugh used to use,
Oh, the bimbo eruption squad, Yeah,

662
00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:55.000
the bimbo eruption squad. But you
know, just I guess at arm's

663
00:55:55.079 --> 00:56:01.320
length rather than Hillary headnet herself.
All Right, anyway eight eight eight nine

664
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:07.639
three four seven eight seven four we'll
not quite ready yet. Okay, well

665
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:08.960
we'll be checking out. We're good
to go. All right, let's get

666
00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:14.559
raised agic from the weather channel in
here. And how you doing this morning?

667
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:17.960
Sir? What's going on? Hey? I'm doing well? How about

668
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:22.920
You's pretty good? An audi pause, You're like, who do you think

669
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:24.920
I was talking to? Well?
I don't know. Sometimes there's a little

670
00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:28.960
bit of a a little bit of
a hesitation. Now you never know who's

671
00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:31.719
going to join the crowd, right
the party. Yeah, sometimes to our

672
00:56:31.719 --> 00:56:36.039
own detriment. But yeah, no, we'll get a little nuts here,

673
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:37.719
you know how it goes? Right? Well? Is the weather going to

674
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:42.800
be nuts? Though it's not going
to be too bad? Some sprinkles of

675
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:47.000
rain. Good thing. I put
in some showers because somebody's probably reached aground

676
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:52.320
Danville in southern Virginia heading into the
triad right now. Any right, I

677
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:57.199
was showing them some darker green and
some yellow and eastern Tennessee near Johnson City.

678
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:00.360
Don't do it. And those showers
may try to clip, but I

679
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:02.719
don't even know who. What was
I gonna do? How was we gonna

680
00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:07.280
do it? Well? If people
were probably every time I hear Johnson City

681
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:10.119
at you know, Tennis, Afri
get it anyway, it is a good

682
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:15.079
song. It is a good song, and uh so any fun time left

683
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:21.360
right correct? Yeah, Eddie,
Sunshine left over saved the way here pretty

684
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:25.360
quickly. If you're cloudy, you'll
stay cloudy to partly sunny today mid seventies,

685
00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:30.360
low seventies, try it west and
into the mountains Tonight clear upper forties

686
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:32.719
to low fifties. And I won't
be surprised if after we get the clouds

687
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:37.880
in the showers today that later we
do get some clearing. And I think

688
00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:39.239
if the kids at ball games this
evening, you're gonna be in good shape,

689
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:43.440
not even worried about many of these
showers. They should be over with

690
00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:45.360
by then, and then set us
up for a nice around a sunshine for

691
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:50.199
Thursday and Friday sent around seventy degrees, so be on either side of that.

692
00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:52.960
Low's upper forties to low fifties.
Weekend is going to be great.

693
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:57.239
Saturday, partial sun load of mid
seventies near eighty for Sunday, could be

694
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:00.519
back into the load of mid eighties
by Monday and Tuesday and sunshine so overall

695
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:05.679
case a pretty dry weather pattern.
Maybe, like I said, a little

696
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:08.079
bit of scattered shower action today.
Other than that, I think we're gonna

697
00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:12.519
be a real nice shape. Humidity
comfortable, dyke time lows will be comfortable

698
00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:17.519
warming trend toward especially a late weekend
early next week. There's also wagon Wheel.

699
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:21.360
Did you think that was the song
I was gonna refer? I thought

700
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:22.960
was the song? Yes, I
thought you were thinking. Well, they

701
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:28.400
both they both have you know,
they both talked about Johnson City policeas right.

702
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:30.960
All right, Well, any who, I assumed that you were a

703
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:37.000
little down because you heard that one
of our cohorts had given up. Well

704
00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:43.880
who gave up? Our our friend
of the west. She trapped him.

705
00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:51.000
She trapped him, he posted on
social media. Oh yeah, yeah,

706
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:55.159
and I couldn't. I can't by
our friend. Who's the morning guy at

707
00:58:55.199 --> 00:59:01.760
iHeart in Asheville is Beyonce finally is
now as fiance. She she got him

708
00:59:01.840 --> 00:59:07.719
so not long saturdays, he'll no
longer be Yeah, it's crazy, I

709
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:15.920
man, yeah, all right,
thanks? Right, yeah, oh what

710
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:20.280
do you? All right? Congrats? I tease his Uh, it's very

711
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:22.840
nice. Actually I met her.
She actually came up with him to that

712
00:59:23.159 --> 00:59:28.400
that broadcast in DC. So anyway, not Pete, We're Todd. Mark

713
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:31.760
is the guy's name who does the
Asheville I heard anyway seven forty seven k

714
00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:37.400
O Day radio program. So uh
yeah, yeah, this thing is dragging

715
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:43.760
on and they're rectimating. Is still
six weeks on this trial, all of

716
00:59:43.800 --> 00:59:46.400
which Trump's just got to sit there
and watch this insanity. But yeah,

717
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:49.800
that's really where they started. And
I thought, well, that's an interesting

718
00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:52.360
point that you just brought up.
And you're the prosecutor and you knew what

719
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.079
he was going to testify too,
and you still put it out there.

720
00:59:57.360 --> 00:59:59.719
But you know, when the fix
is in, maybe it doesn't matter.

721
00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:05.400
Are hang on? We opened the
show earlier just I just mentioned mister T,

722
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:07.480
and I called up his Wikipedia page
because I wanted to be accurate that

723
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:12.679
he wasn't a guy who was a
quote unquote sports star, because I was

724
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:17.280
quibbling over his inclusion in an article
as a quote sports star who hosted SNL

725
01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:22.000
and you know, as Ross pointed
out, you know, world champion,

726
01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:28.039
but in reality, he played college
football but never did anything after that.

727
01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:31.719
But there is so much I didn't
know about mister T. And I'm ashamed

728
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:36.559
of myself, like, do you
know where all the gold chain thing came

729
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:43.480
from? I didn't, Now I
do. Apparently he spent much of his

730
01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:47.880
time post post schooling working as a
bouncer, and he was kind of like

731
01:00:49.880 --> 01:00:52.599
he was kind of a guy who
would get called into really really bad bars.

732
01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:59.559
Well roadhouse kind of vibe to it. And one of his things that

733
01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:02.559
he did is when somebody, you
know, he had to tangle with somebody.

734
01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:07.679
He estimates that there were over two
hundred fights and count counting the number

735
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:14.000
of lawsuits filed against him, each
of which he won. You know,

736
01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:16.719
he might be exaggerating, but there
was a lot. And if you tangled

737
01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:22.400
with him and you were you remember
this is the seventies. People are wearing

738
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:29.360
all of this jewelry, the disco
era. And he got a piece of

739
01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:30.840
your jewelry. He kept it,
and then he wore it, and then

740
01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:36.079
he would wear it all to shove
it in the face of people who had

741
01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:40.400
been thrown out of the bar.
But if people came to him and apologized,

742
01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:45.039
he would give them their jewelry back. But most people just would never

743
01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:47.360
show up. You know that sober
up the next morning. But what the

744
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:52.199
hell was I doing where's my chain? And that's how he ended up with

745
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:54.280
all those things. I think that's
crazy. And then the other crazy thing

746
01:01:54.400 --> 01:02:00.639
is he then from there he was
such a good bouncer that they did show

747
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:09.519
about Bounce, a bouncer competition on
NBC America's Toughest Bouncer, and he and

748
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:16.840
another by the name of Tutufano Tufi, a Hawaiian bouncer who was a giant

749
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:22.000
six foot five two and eighty pounds
or the finalist, and then they had

750
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:25.840
to fight each other, and he
othered the line during the interview, I

751
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:29.559
said, I just feel sorry for
the guy who I have to box.

752
01:02:29.639 --> 01:02:34.239
I just feel really sorry for him. Syl Vester Sloan was watching that and

753
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:39.320
immediately was writing Rocky three, and
he loved the lines so much that he

754
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:45.239
changed it to I pity the fool
and then pursued mister t initially to come

755
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:50.719
in and deliver a total of three
lines. But in those three lines when

756
01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:53.840
they filmed it, the cast and
crew so hated his character in a good

757
01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:59.559
way. He was They made him, you know, the villain of the

758
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:02.880
whole thing based on one line in
one comp By the way, beat the

759
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:07.920
crap out of that Hawaiian bouncer and
one of the things, so that is,

760
01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:12.320
how did I not know all this
stuff. I won't get into the

761
01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:16.320
Eddie Murphy mister, by the way, that story back and forth. That's

762
01:03:16.360 --> 01:03:20.960
crazy, man, And there's a
bunch of other stuff. I'm not gonna

763
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:24.039
regalia. You can. You can
go look it up at yourself. But

764
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:29.159
I found it quite fascinating. Kicking
off our number three. Glad to have

765
01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:32.960
you along, and wow, this
is this is like pure nightmare fuel.

766
01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:37.519
I didn't see this story initially.
I didn't see the details of the story

767
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:42.400
initially with the dude who had the
gator encounter down in South Carolina. But

768
01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:45.280
we're going to get to that.
But first I was sharing this story with

769
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:53.400
you. And this took place the
campus of Shaw University. A seventy four

770
01:03:53.480 --> 01:04:01.480
year old man is under arrest,
and the way it's reported on is like

771
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:08.280
this, Basically, shots are fired. An officer was near enough that he

772
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:13.039
heard that it was on another call. Some of the calls came in and

773
01:04:13.079 --> 01:04:15.840
when they arrived there were some people
in the vicinity who said that there had

774
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:24.000
been a man with multiple firearms had
gotten into a quote alter verbal altercation with

775
01:04:24.119 --> 01:04:30.119
another man, and the shooter had
apparently run into the Cultural center, which

776
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:34.480
is where this happened, which has
classrooms on the bottom and has a mosque

777
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:40.000
upstairs, Okay, in a prayer
room. That's going to be very specific

778
01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:44.880
here, so that those are the
details, and they show the guy under

779
01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:47.119
arrest. They say he had three
firearms in his possession, two in his

780
01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:50.840
car, and they hit him with
a bunch of stuff. What's interesting is,

781
01:04:53.360 --> 01:04:58.320
from time to time I'm able to
pick the brain of maybe some folks

782
01:04:58.360 --> 01:05:05.000
who might have some working knowledge,
might be in the criminal justice field themselves.

783
01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:10.119
If he catch him a drift and
how would you say, a source

784
01:05:10.159 --> 01:05:17.639
close to the investigation he had he
had some rather interesting context to this,

785
01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:21.599
and I think it's I think it's
strange that I don't see it in here.

786
01:05:21.719 --> 01:05:29.400
One is why this dude was there? So why is he there?

787
01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:32.199
Well, you may have guessed there's
a mosque there, and uh, he

788
01:05:32.320 --> 01:05:39.599
is. You know, his name
would lead one to the conclusion that he

789
01:05:39.719 --> 01:05:42.920
might be Muslim, which is fine, that's fine if you want to go

790
01:05:42.960 --> 01:05:46.000
to you know, go to your
church. Whatever. However, it's my

791
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:58.519
understanding that the altercation, so this
this dude allegedly had like kind of in

792
01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:04.719
he decided to kind of he was
there too. He was he unofficially deputized

793
01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:14.000
himself to kind of police the area
around the prayer room, and the altercation

794
01:06:14.159 --> 01:06:19.840
took place with a white dude walking
a dog who had who you know,

795
01:06:19.880 --> 01:06:23.159
which you can do. You can
go walk a dog anywhere in in and

796
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:28.599
around the campus there. It's wide
open man, and he took offense to

797
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:33.000
that. Obviously, there's the there's
the dog component, which you know,

798
01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:36.800
I'm sure you're aware of, which
you know, if you don't like dogs,

799
01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:41.039
or if you feel that they're religiously
problematic, you shouldn't be forced to

800
01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:45.199
it. But if you're on an
area in a in a public area where

801
01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:47.920
somebody can walk by, it's not
like he'd try to take the dog inside.

802
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:54.039
But that may have been what set
this off. So I don't know

803
01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:57.159
if it was the whiteness or the
dog or if any of those were a

804
01:06:57.199 --> 01:07:01.519
component, but you know that's to
be the beef of the of what set

805
01:07:01.559 --> 01:07:08.039
this off. Also, while he's
not affiliated with the school, he told

806
01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:14.960
police it was his job to guard
it. And then obviously the gun thing.

807
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:19.159
And I don't see charges for felling
in a possession in possession and maybe

808
01:07:19.159 --> 01:07:21.519
I don't know, maybe he changed
his name. It's something, so it

809
01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:27.760
wasn't initially in the charges, but
I'm hearing that the guy might be a

810
01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:30.480
felon, which if you got five
guns and you're a fellon and you're shooting

811
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:33.840
at people, it's probably not gonna
go well for you. So whether that

812
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:38.679
was left out intentionally, like it
didn't take me long to track that info

813
01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:45.639
down, is weird. And I
say this because that the story I had

814
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:53.000
just shared with you is from WRL, and yesterday they took an activist word

815
01:07:53.360 --> 01:08:01.039
on or they used an activist quote
words to create, to create a muddied

816
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:05.840
scenario of what may have transpired surrounding
that tragic death of the thirteen year old

817
01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:10.639
girl who they found shot to death
at a party apartment at like two thirty

818
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:14.559
in the morning on Monday, implying
that well, she wouldn't have been there

819
01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:17.960
had she not been suspended, right, she'd be home peacefully dreaming of Monday

820
01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:23.319
morning school. And to throw that
out there without any details, or to

821
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:29.640
source it to somebody who could speak
more authoritatively on it, meaning a school

822
01:08:29.640 --> 01:08:34.239
official, meaning a breakdown perhaps by
one of the parents on specifically what it

823
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:39.359
was was weird to me In this
case, they've just chosen to ignore the

824
01:08:39.359 --> 01:08:44.119
context that might have been available with
a little bit of digging, and I

825
01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:49.239
feel like that's that's a little instructive
as well, all right. So eight

826
01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:54.960
eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four what would you say? Let

827
01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:59.720
me ask you, what would you
say is your biggest fear going into the

828
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:05.680
wall at you know, uh,
in in the ocean, in maybe some

829
01:09:05.720 --> 01:09:10.880
of the tidal areas that brackish water
that we get what what would you say

830
01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:16.199
might be of the most concerned What
is your nightmare scenario? The sharks,

831
01:09:16.199 --> 01:09:21.840
the gators, stingrays, or maybe
you don't care, you're you're you're here

832
01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:29.000
for it. This this one's crazy, all right. So this guy's name

833
01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:34.600
is Will Georgitas, and uh he
he likes to dive, and he also

834
01:09:34.840 --> 01:09:38.359
is part of his diving, he
likes to go into the Cooper River.

835
01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:45.880
This is down Goose Goose Creek area
of the South Carolina, And so he's

836
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:48.439
in the Cooper River and he would
get his dive tank and then he would

837
01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:55.039
dive the river because there's a bunch
of fossilized shark teeth on the riverbed,

838
01:09:55.760 --> 01:09:59.039
and so he he goes down.
He uses a screwdriver to kind of extract

839
01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:00.520
him. I'm not sure the whole
process, but good on him if that's

840
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:06.760
what he likes to do. Unfortunately, when this happened April fifteenth, he

841
01:10:06.920 --> 01:10:15.479
had just about finished his dive in
an area where it's about fifty fifty feet

842
01:10:15.520 --> 01:10:19.840
deep and he was almost out of
oxygen. Got up to the surface,

843
01:10:19.920 --> 01:10:23.399
did you know, did the thing
where he pulled his mask off, was

844
01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:28.159
getting ready to then head to shore, and all of a sudden, a

845
01:10:28.439 --> 01:10:32.000
giant alligator grabbed onto his arm,
so he quickly I guess he's able to

846
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:35.079
get his mask down with the other
arm, he starts fighting with the gat

847
01:10:35.359 --> 01:10:41.119
He then uses his other hand.
Oh excuse me. Then the gator,

848
01:10:41.399 --> 01:10:45.199
according to the report, starts shaking
the diver as they do, and eventually

849
01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:48.960
drug him all the way to the
bottom. Remember he's in fifty feet of

850
01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:54.760
water, he's got very minimal oxygen. He's panicking, but not so much

851
01:10:54.800 --> 01:10:59.560
that he didn't attempt one other thing. He grabbed the screwdriver that he'd been

852
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:03.680
using to extract the shark teeth and
stab the gator in the head over and

853
01:11:03.960 --> 01:11:09.640
over and over, and you know
what, the gater did nothing. So

854
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:14.720
Georgita said he had to do something, and he had to make a decision.

855
01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:23.159
Georgia's telling ABC's Good Morning America quote, I decided he couldn't have all

856
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:27.359
of me, so I put my
feet up against him and kicked off of

857
01:11:27.439 --> 01:11:34.279
him, at which point he's minus
an arm. Did you do you think

858
01:11:34.319 --> 01:11:38.560
you could be in a conscious Could
you think you can make a decision?

859
01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:41.279
Or would be because some people would
just be like, this is it,

860
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:46.880
I'm done. But this guy had
to make a decision, like you know,

861
01:11:46.960 --> 01:11:51.560
like a raccoon non off its arm
in a trap. He had to

862
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:55.800
make a split second decision too right, way, too long, you drown,

863
01:11:56.039 --> 01:12:00.720
And then what's at that point would
matter? He he realized, uh,

864
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:03.399
well, I guess I don't have
an arm anymore, and then literally

865
01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:15.439
basically kind of tore it off himself. The way it's described here is Georgia's

866
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:18.880
then frantically swam to a friend's boat, was taken ashore. His arm was

867
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:26.840
broken and needed a ton of staples
just to close up the wounds, so

868
01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:30.039
he was able he was able to
rip the arm out. It didn't come

869
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:33.399
all the way off, but it's
dangling at this point. But he said

870
01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:36.119
he was, he was, he
was willing to trade his arm to get

871
01:12:36.119 --> 01:12:44.680
out of there, and good luck
on this thing. They had it eye.

872
01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:46.319
Look, it looked nasty just the
way they had it wrapped up.

873
01:12:46.359 --> 01:12:49.600
I can't imagine how cut up and
swollen it is. Uh, let's see

874
01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:55.960
here, how how many it's a
whole bunch of stuff. But yeah,

875
01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:58.439
would you be in that? Would
you be able to go? All right,

876
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:00.520
Well, I guess I'm not gonna
have an arm and make that decision.

877
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:03.159
Now it worked out slightly better than
he thought, but not much judging

878
01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:13.039
by the the bite picture here,
that is crazy. South Carolina's had six

879
01:13:13.079 --> 01:13:17.560
fatal alligator attacks since twenty sixteen.
No, I've never seen a real big

880
01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:20.319
one in South Carolina. I've seen
a lot of little ones playing golf down

881
01:13:20.359 --> 01:13:25.600
there south of Myrtle, like True
Blue Caledonia in that area down there,

882
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:30.439
they got a lot of the little
ones there. But I'm trying to figure

883
01:13:30.439 --> 01:13:32.760
out, I'm sorry, scrolling the
stories, I can't figure out the estimated

884
01:13:32.800 --> 01:13:39.039
size of the gator well big enough
to pin this due to the bottom,

885
01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:42.039
all right, sore. If you
never want to go in the water again,

886
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:45.560
there's your excuse right there, all
right, eight sixteen here on the

887
01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:50.920
Cacoda Radio program. Coming up on
the show, we will get into this

888
01:13:51.479 --> 01:14:00.720
Columbia University will give you an update
on what's happening down there and the absolute

889
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:04.119
dumpster fire that they have created for
themselves. We'll get into it next.

890
01:14:04.359 --> 01:14:08.560
Hang on. I knew, I
knew that mister T had been a bodyguard.

891
01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:13.119
I did not realize he was a
bodyguard for Michael Jackson, so that

892
01:14:13.239 --> 01:14:18.279
was new to me. I thought, I he what I remember seeing his

893
01:14:18.399 --> 01:14:26.399
pictures of him where he was bodyguard
for Muhammad Ali and one of Joe Frazier,

894
01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:30.760
a bunch of boxers he did bodyguard
work for. I didn't realize it

895
01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:33.439
was Jackson. You know somebody else? This this is I chuckled a little.

896
01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:42.880
He also was bodyguard for LeVar Burton. I under if you're a boxer,

897
01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:46.279
it may sound counterintuitive to you to
have a boxer, like why would

898
01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:53.239
a boxer need a bodyguard? You
would not believe the number of people who

899
01:14:53.239 --> 01:15:00.720
would see a professional boxer out in
public and want to fight them. It's

900
01:15:01.399 --> 01:15:06.359
crazy. I heard Tyson talk about
this one time. People just come up

901
01:15:06.399 --> 01:15:13.239
and swing on him. On what
planet? Do you think it's a good

902
01:15:13.279 --> 01:15:17.920
I remember this is not today's Tyson
who I still wouldn't want to I don't

903
01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:24.359
know, okay, because it's not
just about strength or age or anything.

904
01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:30.880
Technique is the core component of what
that dude does. But people still come

905
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:35.039
up want to fight him or tough
guy movie guys. I e. What

906
01:15:35.119 --> 01:15:38.960
happened to Segal where he got his
butt kicked by that dude in a bar

907
01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:41.920
and then the paper reported on it
and he tried to see the paper.

908
01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:54.880
But who's attacking LeVar Burton like a
cheese author? I wrote this kid's book

909
01:15:54.920 --> 01:15:58.000
and you did not put it on
your show like pissed off a literate people?

910
01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:01.800
Yes, who's was going after LeVar
Burton? Or is I was gonna

911
01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:05.600
ask? Is there like a is
there a segment of the Star Trek fandom

912
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:11.880
who's got beef with him that I'm
unaware of? I can't think of anything.

913
01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.479
I never heard of anyone derange.
People who think like the reading rainbow

914
01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:17.439
rainbow has like symbolism going way back, They're like, oh, it all

915
01:16:17.479 --> 01:16:21.079
started with LeVar Burton. Yeah,
I don't know, man, I just

916
01:16:21.159 --> 01:16:26.199
stoopid rainbow. That's just like,
how does LeVar I mean, if he

917
01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:28.800
felt he was there, that he
was threatening, he need a bodyguard?

918
01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:33.039
I'm fine, but like, I
just don't understand why he would need one.

919
01:16:33.640 --> 01:16:35.560
And that's not I'm not trying to
be mean to the dude, but

920
01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:41.800
like, who wants to punch LeVar
Burton? Oh man, everything's just weird?

921
01:16:41.800 --> 01:16:44.000
All right? Let me flip back
over to this. Oh by the

922
01:16:44.000 --> 01:16:47.800
way, speaking of I was gonna
word that in a way I probably shouldn't

923
01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:51.520
speaking of people who you may want
to punch in the face, but don't

924
01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:57.720
do it. Uh. The North
Carolina General assemblies back, Yep, yep

925
01:16:57.920 --> 01:17:01.439
up, short session, getting things
rocking and rolling. Today. I'll give

926
01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:04.960
you a little a little preview here, just a moment of a couple couple

927
01:17:04.960 --> 01:17:10.399
of the bigger items that really we're
gonna have to see in the first couple

928
01:17:10.439 --> 01:17:15.840
of days. You'll you'll see movement
fast on what are going to be the

929
01:17:15.880 --> 01:17:21.520
priorities. You may even see some
sort of vote taken on what will be

930
01:17:21.520 --> 01:17:25.760
part of the enjoy you will see, but kind of part of the agenda

931
01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:30.079
with the short session works a little
different but there's some big, big things

932
01:17:30.119 --> 01:17:33.319
that could be part of this,
and school school vouchers I think is probably

933
01:17:33.359 --> 01:17:40.840
gonna be the big fight. So
just a moment and we'll get into that.

934
01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:48.680
But first let me get over to
this. Do do Joe Biden?

935
01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:50.680
I opened the show with this,
but if you're just joining us, so

936
01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:54.000
I'm going to hit it one more
time real quick. So Joe Biden's down

937
01:17:54.039 --> 01:17:57.199
in Florid, DA yesterday, and
there were two things that he said.

938
01:17:57.199 --> 01:17:59.399
Well, there's one thing he said
and then the thing that he did.

939
01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:02.760
And honestly, I almost feel like
maybe the thing he did was to distract

940
01:18:02.760 --> 01:18:06.079
from the stupid thing he said.
Here's what he said. Listen closely.

941
01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:12.720
It's not a very long cut,
but he's asking you a question, okay,

942
01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:16.560
so hopefully you can come up with
an answer. Here is the president's

943
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:19.880
question in a sense, I don't
know why he'd we're surprised by Trump.

944
01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:27.159
How many times he have to prove
we can't be trusted? How many times

945
01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:34.359
just reiterate? How many times by
nas do we have to prove meaning him

946
01:18:34.479 --> 01:18:41.600
and I guess everyone around him,
political supporters, his cabinet, whatever,

947
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:47.960
How many times do we have to
prove we can't be trusted. I don't

948
01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:51.399
know, but I feel like you've
hit the number. I don't I don't

949
01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:57.000
know what your you know, TOUTSI
Pop asked question is supposed to mean you're

950
01:18:57.039 --> 01:19:00.159
there, sir, you've hit the
number, whatever the number may be.

951
01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:06.359
And then at the rally, standing
next to NICKI Freed and some other moonbats

952
01:19:06.399 --> 01:19:10.399
down there talking about abortion, which
is this core focus. Right, They're

953
01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:15.119
in Florida in a room full of
people who looked like they showed up because

954
01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:18.479
they heard there was free drinks or
something, and they're railing on this and

955
01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:29.560
the President of the United States does
the sign of the Cross as they're talking

956
01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:35.239
about abortion. And if you're not
Catholic, obviously you still know what it

957
01:19:35.319 --> 01:19:38.960
is. You know, it's the
four point you know, the side of

958
01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:46.800
the cross there. And but from
from a Catholic perspective, that's crazy.

959
01:19:48.479 --> 01:19:51.760
That is. I was like,
did I just see that? I was

960
01:19:51.880 --> 01:19:55.800
watching for the other stuff. I
was watching for the you know, the

961
01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:59.560
what's the crazy crazy stuff he said, and I saw that, and I'm

962
01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:03.479
like, oh my my gosh,
how are you the uh, you know,

963
01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:06.720
the what was it? The best
Catholic president ever? Whatever? Your

964
01:20:06.760 --> 01:20:11.000
spokesperson said, and you didn't realize
how that may come across. It's bad

965
01:20:11.119 --> 01:20:14.079
enough that you're like, it's the
whole it's a pro abortion thing. But

966
01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:23.079
somebody said he meant to say he, I understand that Joe Biden's line was

967
01:20:23.079 --> 01:20:29.560
supposed to be He sir, I'm
on it, got it. But that's

968
01:20:29.600 --> 01:20:31.159
not what he's all right, anyway, back to you know, you do

969
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:32.800
the sign of the crowd. Now, by the way, some of you

970
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:38.159
have asked, was it upside down? No? Was it? Oh?

971
01:20:38.239 --> 01:20:42.279
That's right. Yesterday was the rapture
day. I completely forgot about the Oh

972
01:20:42.319 --> 01:20:45.680
my gosh, I haven't even dug
into the conspiracy theories. Well, it

973
01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:51.600
didn't happen, I don't think.
Yeah, I forgot. That was another

974
01:20:51.640 --> 01:20:59.560
one of the days. It was
the let's see virgo and jup Joe anyway

975
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:05.600
whatever. According to some people,
they thought that that yesterday was supposed to

976
01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:14.239
kick off Revelation twelve, which basically
talks about the beginning. So I think

977
01:21:14.239 --> 01:21:17.159
it's fine, although I don't know
how many people are listening. Ross.

978
01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:20.359
Did any of your or any of
your neighbors gone, anyone in the building

979
01:21:20.399 --> 01:21:25.600
gone. I didn't, Did we
just get hosed on that, and then

980
01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:28.880
what does that mean he's the anti
Christ? Here, here's let me just

981
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:31.359
say this, Biden is not the
Antichrist because the Antichrist is supposed to be

982
01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:39.479
charismatic and draw people to him,
and the polling would indicate otherwise. So

983
01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:45.079
I think he was just confused.
But there you go. All right,

984
01:21:45.159 --> 01:21:48.720
let's let's grab a quick full Oh, hangout around, come to you just

985
01:21:48.760 --> 01:21:54.000
a moment. Sorry, has real
quick. What's up, hey, Casey?

986
01:21:54.079 --> 01:21:57.720
How are you doing this morning?
I'm pretty good, very good?

987
01:21:57.880 --> 01:22:01.039
Good. Yeah, I was,
uh, you were talking earlier about how

988
01:22:01.319 --> 01:22:08.840
people are harassing boxers and such.
Yeah, I'm a I'm a Jet Blue

989
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:15.359
pilot and you're going, yes,
all right. Well, uh, when

990
01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:18.199
I got to the airplane, the
first thing we're supposed to do is we

991
01:22:18.279 --> 01:22:23.840
checked the log book for any kind
of maintenance discrepancies and whatnot. And the

992
01:22:23.880 --> 01:22:29.880
first page on the right up the
aircraft I was picking up was uh aircraft

993
01:22:29.920 --> 01:22:35.319
partition between two seats destroyed by Mike
Tyson and so, and it was removed.

994
01:22:35.600 --> 01:22:39.119
And I was like, you,
I get a story with you.

995
01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:44.119
Do you think they're screwed with you? No? Exactly, Well, he

996
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:48.680
was a legit right up, and
I'm like, so I immediately get the

997
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:53.840
story, you know how this cat
was harassing him since he was sitting in

998
01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:59.840
the in the terminal, and Tyson
finally had enough and turn around and be

999
01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:03.439
the crap out of him, and
he destroyed the little plexiglass petition between the

1000
01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:09.840
two seats, and in the meantime, I was immediately started looking for the

1001
01:23:09.880 --> 01:23:12.960
partition. I was gonna put that
in the man cave, but uh,

1002
01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:19.760
I guess the mechanic probably had it. But yeah, yeah, and that

1003
01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:26.680
dude deserved it, by the way, absolutely, And I dug into it

1004
01:23:26.680 --> 01:23:29.640
a little more. And as the
captain, we have to scrap and see

1005
01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:30.920
as far as you know, booting
people off their playing. Well, the

1006
01:23:31.279 --> 01:23:34.720
course, the guy who did it
was gone, but you know, if

1007
01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:36.359
it had been up to me,
i'd just said, hey, Champ,

1008
01:23:36.399 --> 01:23:40.359
you okay, And you know,
I'm sure he was said yeah, I'm

1009
01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:42.520
sorry, I trying to rush you. This is fascinating to me, but

1010
01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:45.119
I have to ask you, how
something else? Did you see the video

1011
01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:48.399
yesterday of this this this woman who
starts screaming at the Mayor of New York

1012
01:23:48.439 --> 01:23:54.520
on that flight. Now, I
didn't So Eric Adams was on a plane

1013
01:23:54.520 --> 01:23:56.800
and he said in uh, he
said, in middle seat, he's got

1014
01:23:56.880 --> 01:24:00.279
obviously a security guy's the size of
a house on the eye and this woman

1015
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:05.600
starts screaming at him about you know, Israel, Palestine, hes all that,

1016
01:24:05.960 --> 01:24:11.119
and and like, I don't think
they did anything to her. And

1017
01:24:11.199 --> 01:24:15.039
I'm like, how is that?
How is that person not at least excommunicated

1018
01:24:15.079 --> 01:24:23.239
from whatever airline when they are screaming
expletives, ignoring cabin crew and continue and

1019
01:24:23.239 --> 01:24:28.239
filming it for social media likes?
Like, how is that person not not

1020
01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:32.479
thrown off that airline and maybe even
put on the no fly list. It's

1021
01:24:32.520 --> 01:24:35.439
a mystery to me. When I
brief my cabin crew, that's the first

1022
01:24:35.479 --> 01:24:38.960
thing, you know, if you've
got a problem with the passenger, I

1023
01:24:39.079 --> 01:24:42.600
just don't ask questions. They just
go right because there are the people have

1024
01:24:42.640 --> 01:24:45.760
to deal with them. I mean, I'm behind the locked door and so

1025
01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:50.079
yeah, somebody liked that. I
can't. I'll have to look. It

1026
01:24:50.159 --> 01:24:53.760
might have been obviously there's a lot
of flights, so jemp blew up there.

1027
01:24:53.760 --> 01:24:57.439
You got your own terminal up there. But I don't know. The

1028
01:24:57.479 --> 01:24:59.800
whole thing was just weird. By
the way, you're not always in there.

1029
01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:02.880
Some some times you're behind the barricade
of drinks, which I always find.

1030
01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:06.920
See this is true, all right, I got a roll. Thank

1031
01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:11.920
you very much for the ill appreciate
it. Mike Tyson destroyed part of your

1032
01:25:11.960 --> 01:25:15.479
aircraft. Happy flying sir. That's
amazing, all right, raced aging.

1033
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:16.560
I know you want to hear it. Which now means you get a very

1034
01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:23.399
short weather but totally worth ahead.
There's not much. A couple of sprinkles

1035
01:25:23.399 --> 01:25:27.880
of rain right now from just north
of Greensboro Winston Salem up near Danville in

1036
01:25:27.920 --> 01:25:30.279
southern Virginia. That first round may
produce a light shower. A lot of

1037
01:25:30.279 --> 01:25:33.000
the other stuff to the west having
a tough time getting over the mountains,

1038
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:36.399
so spotty showers here and there.
You see or hear the mention of rain

1039
01:25:36.439 --> 01:25:41.119
today not going to be much.
Won't cancel any plans for this afternoon or

1040
01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:43.880
this evening. I would think it
will be a pretty good shape after that.

1041
01:25:43.920 --> 01:25:46.640
Temperature is upper sixties, maybe the
most seventies. Tonight, clear close

1042
01:25:46.680 --> 01:25:50.279
to fifty with some up for forties
to the west, sunshine, then back

1043
01:25:50.279 --> 01:25:53.720
for the rest of the week,
load to mid seventies. Through Friday.

1044
01:25:54.039 --> 01:25:56.760
Little Wulver's up for the weekend,
partly to mostly sunny. Gonna be a

1045
01:25:56.800 --> 01:26:00.600
nice run here. Low mid seventies
on Saturday, probably close to eighty on

1046
01:26:00.680 --> 01:26:03.119
Sunday, could get well into the
eighties early next week with two more sunny

1047
01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:06.960
days. Okay, see, very
little rain might make a puddle today,

1048
01:26:06.960 --> 01:26:10.279
but I really don't think it's going
to be much. And then a lot

1049
01:26:10.279 --> 01:26:13.960
of sunshine for the most part right
through early next week. With a slow

1050
01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:15.920
warming trend. It's going to be
real nice around here for quite a few

1051
01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:19.760
days. All right, Talk to
you tomorrow, Thanks Sirka, and back

1052
01:26:19.800 --> 01:26:26.000
with Jeff Bellinger next thing. On
Good morning. Casey stocks advanced yesterday investors

1053
01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:30.560
who were focusing their attention on corporate
earnings. Futures are mixed this morning.

1054
01:26:30.760 --> 01:26:34.039
S and P and NASDAC futures both
higher. The dial futures have been moving

1055
01:26:34.079 --> 01:26:39.399
back and forth positive to negative territory. Right now, they're down forty nine

1056
01:26:39.439 --> 01:26:43.800
points. Tesla shares rallied in after
hours training and they are higher. Pre

1057
01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:48.119
Market demand for electric vehicles was week
in the first quarter, but Tesla assured

1058
01:26:48.199 --> 01:26:54.199
investors it's working to boost sales,
stepping up efforts to develop cheaper cars and

1059
01:26:54.239 --> 01:26:59.000
a ride hailing feature. If an
airline cancels your scheduled flight, you're now

1060
01:26:59.239 --> 01:27:03.960
entitled to a refund. Under new
Transportation Department rules just announced this morning,

1061
01:27:04.239 --> 01:27:11.079
airlines will have to provide automatic refunds
to travelers whose flights are canceled or significantly

1062
01:27:11.199 --> 01:27:15.800
altered. A big majority of Americans
nearly eight and ten, according to bank

1063
01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:20.199
Rate, consider home ownership a key
component of the American dream, but affordability

1064
01:27:20.279 --> 01:27:25.319
is a growing problem. Prices are
at an all time high, Mortgage interest

1065
01:27:25.359 --> 01:27:29.880
rates are sky high. Mortgage bankers
just reported this morning the average interest rate

1066
01:27:29.960 --> 01:27:32.760
on a thirty year fixed rate home
loan has set a five month high seven

1067
01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:38.479
point twenty four percent. Google's going
to hold off on its plan to phase

1068
01:27:38.520 --> 01:27:44.520
out advertising cookies and its web Chrome
browser. The little software files that let

1069
01:27:44.600 --> 01:27:49.880
marketers track our online movements will be
around until sometime next year and a case.

1070
01:27:50.079 --> 01:27:56.520
There is less conviction among traders in
the interest rates market that borrowing costs

1071
01:27:56.560 --> 01:28:00.159
will fall in twenty twenty four.
The economy has been resumed, inflation has

1072
01:28:00.199 --> 01:28:04.560
been stubborn, and some traders are
starting to wager that the Federal Reserve will

1073
01:28:04.600 --> 01:28:08.960
just hold the line on interest rates
for the rest of the year. So

1074
01:28:09.000 --> 01:28:13.039
we'll see Katie good good. That'll
be great. All right, Thanks Jeff

1075
01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:15.520
for the good news. Appreciate it. Yeah, all right, I have

1076
01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:17.920
a good day. Yeah, there
you go, Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News.

1077
01:28:18.479 --> 01:28:26.239
All right, apparently what is this? All right? So I alright,

1078
01:28:26.279 --> 01:28:29.720
So I went and I educated.
I wanted to revisit because I just

1079
01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:34.840
remembered that the the End of Times
was supposed to be yesterday, and I

1080
01:28:35.319 --> 01:28:39.720
actually there was more to it.
It wasn't just hey, we're kicking this

1081
01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:45.159
thing off, get ready to rapture, but also yesterday it was supposed to

1082
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:53.439
bring about the the reveal of planet
x Naburu, and it would have immediately

1083
01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:59.119
started setting off volcanoes, like it
would really suck right now everywhere. But

1084
01:28:59.199 --> 01:29:01.760
I don't, I don't. I
don't think that end Times prophecy held,

1085
01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:04.600
although I did see somebody under it
going, well, it's not, it's

1086
01:29:04.640 --> 01:29:08.920
not because April twenty third was the
date and they're like, well it's not

1087
01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:12.920
April twenty fourth, everywhere, Yes
it is. You not. I understand

1088
01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:15.920
that you have this base concept about
the International Dateline and how it works,

1089
01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:21.479
but I assure you it is.
It is April twenty fourth, now everywhere,

1090
01:29:21.600 --> 01:29:26.279
dude, and uh I don't well, hold on, let me let

1091
01:29:26.319 --> 01:29:30.119
me do this. Uh real quick, hey, Ross, you got rid

1092
01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:33.319
of the weather window there? All
right? Is there a giant murder planet

1093
01:29:33.319 --> 01:29:36.560
coming for us? That you see? Yeah? Let me let me look.

1094
01:29:36.600 --> 01:29:40.840
I don't see one. Oh you
sure? All right? All right?

1095
01:29:41.000 --> 01:29:43.319
No? Wait, hold on,
let me oh is that No,

1096
01:29:43.520 --> 01:29:45.600
it's not it's a tree. No, that's okay. Oh what's that thing

1097
01:29:45.600 --> 01:29:48.319
in this? It's a bird?
Oh damn it. That's a big bird

1098
01:29:48.319 --> 01:29:51.680
though. Yeah. Yeah, it's
shooting fire. That's not like those aerobat

1099
01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:56.279
dogs murder dogs. Yeah, if
you haven't seen, an Ohio based company

1100
01:29:56.880 --> 01:30:00.399
has produced they they've brought all the
stuff you want to together, the the

1101
01:30:00.479 --> 01:30:06.800
murder dogs and flamethrowers and lasers,
and it's amazing. And it's made in

1102
01:30:06.840 --> 01:30:15.800
America. Right, So that's I
think that's really really really a unique feature.

1103
01:30:15.680 --> 01:30:19.479
Thank you. It is the companies
in Ohio. So yeah, it's

1104
01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:24.319
made in a Maria. So if
you want your murder robot concealed carry dog,

1105
01:30:24.399 --> 01:30:30.159
which I think, can you get
a service vest for a murder flamethrower

1106
01:30:30.199 --> 01:30:35.960
hound. I mean people get service
dog vest for all sorts of things that

1107
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:40.000
aren't service dogs, so why should
it be any different. Then I can

1108
01:30:40.479 --> 01:30:43.560
then I can have it on the
plane in case I don't know, some

1109
01:30:43.680 --> 01:30:45.800
psychopaths starts screaming at me. And
by the way, if the pilot still

1110
01:30:45.800 --> 01:30:48.880
listen, it looks like it might
have been Delta just the way this.

1111
01:30:49.079 --> 01:30:51.680
I'm just gonna still here. But
the seat covers have the colors, so

1112
01:30:54.319 --> 01:30:57.000
not yours today. I will say
this, and I don't mean this in

1113
01:30:57.039 --> 01:31:00.760
a bad way. It's just because
when that when that when when our caller

1114
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:02.359
called in and say he's a pilot, like immediately I'm like, oh,

1115
01:31:02.439 --> 01:31:09.039
yeah, I know he's telling the
truth because his delivery and cadence is straight up pilot
