Wednesday, So you know, yay for that. We like that getting to
the halfway point. And just because it has pretty much been the standard over
the last few weeks, everybody's still out of their mind. It's not just
you. I know, you're sitting there, You're going on to Twitter.
You're like, I don't know, does it seem like crazier than usual?
And I think it does, and it's a combination of things, but yeah,
I'm not Yeah, I think we have lulls, we have valleys and
peaks and everything. But it makes doing a show easy, so we definitely
appreciate that component. Provides lots of good audio, probably much to Ross's dismay
since he's one who has to dub it in and leap it out and do
all that. But you know, that's the still doing business, all right.
I was just reading something so fascinating before the show, and look,
is it as fascinating as the President of the United States in Florida yesterday saying
this in a sense, I don't know why he's We're surprised by Trump.
How many times he have to prove we can't be trusted? Hmm, I
don't know how many? What is the number? How many. Maybe that's
an interview. I don't know, mister president. How many times do you
have to prove you can't be trusted, not just you, but all those
around you? I don't know, but I feel like a lot of people
hit that number just saying Ross, do you think you've hit that number?
Although, to be fair, I generally had that feeling about all the politicians.
So so he said that, and then and that, you know what,
there's there's more on this. I'm going to get to this, let
me do let me do this, and I'll tell you about this fascinating article
because I really want to package deal all of the presidential insanity here. So
he was in Florida and that I can only think he said that because he
wanted to detract from something that insane. Other insane thing that he said,
but one that is kind of I don't know, it's it's politiciany. He
you know, he's sitting there with a rally of folks. He's got Nikki
Freed, that psychopath who is what ag former AG commissioner Florida ran for gubernatorial
primary last time around. Got smoked anyway, So oh that's great, all
right, I don't need to pop up, thank you. So in addition
to that, he's at this rally in Florida and it's it looks like they
tricked residents of a senior living facility into some sort of common space with free
food offers. But and only a few of them showed up. That being
said, he's got he's got freed there and a couple other people, and
I had to watch. I watched the President of the United States, who
is a purported Catholic. I know, I know, I know, because
you're trying to square You're like, well, wait a second, how how
can you claim to be Forget that for a moment. That's not even the
worst part. But I watched the President of the United States, who,
if you remember, was referred to as quote the most Catholic president ever.
I'm trying to remember who made that. I can't remember if it was it
was at Jean Pierre who said that whatever, it might have been socky back
in the day. So this is a this is for all practical purposes,
an abortion rally. Okay, that's what they're talking about. That's the gist.
Obviously, that is kind of one of the driving issues. So pretty
much anywhere Biden's doing a campaign rally that is likely to be a topic of
discussion. This in in Florida, it is really the you know, the
driver for where they're rallying people. And that's fine. You can go ahead
and rally on whatever political issue you want and then voters will judge. And
then he did something that I've done a thousand times before as somebody who you
know, we were, My family was Catholic from birth. In the middle
of a woman talking about, hey, you know, let's let's the abortion
stuff, Joe Biden did the sign of the Cross, right, And I
guess for those of you if you've ever watched somebody you know, you know
they do the four point touch, right, so you know, father son
and the Holy Spirit the hand, Okay, all right, during a discussion
about abortion at an abortion rally, he did the sign of the Cross.
And I don't know, man, I find that insane. That's just me
doing that in the middle of Now, to be fair, he might have
needed to bless himself, right, because that's what you So when you do
the sign of the Cross, that's that's you blessing yourself before you begin prayers.
Okay, that's that's there's there's more complexity. That being said, there's
that's why you have to a lot of complexity within the Catholic religion. But
as the most Catholic president ever or whatever he had, he knows or he
used to know. I don't know, but I mean, I know,
I know, but I don't know if he knows. But it was really
awkward, man. I was honestly, I was waiting for for the wafers
to show up or something, and it's it it you know what it reminded
me of. It reminded me in a small way of when like some musician
goes, all right, so for the video to my hit song, We're
gonna do this black mass satany thing right where it's like, you know,
where there's an intent to uh, to really irritate people. But then I
realized it just Joe By and Joe because he's also you know, spouting the
thing I played in a sense, I don't know why he's we're surprised by
Trump? How many times he have to prove we can't be trusted? Right?
So who the hell knows? All right? Six fifteen KCO Day Radio
program. So what was the fascinating thing I just read? It was an
account of what might have been on in a very very famous TV show that
I had no idea about. I'll fill you in on that plus the rest
of the news of the day. We'll get to it KCO Day radio program
Ross Married with Children, Yay, your nay? What are your thoughts on
that show? That was one of the shows growing up that I wasn't really
allowed to watch, but I would like try to, like sneak watch.
Yeah, it was like a dirty show. My mom was like, it's
a dirty show. Yeah, what are you doing it? You know?
It was it was like the two shows I can remember like that. I
was like, for you know, you're forbidden from watching these shows Married with
Children and Beat with and butt Head, and I watch both of them.
What no, I'm telling your mom? Dude, Well I'm a I said
you. I'm gonna send your mom an email right now. What's your email
address? Does she have one? To my mother does not have internet?
Yeah, that's what I was got a driving out. All right, you're
gonna be in trouble next time you talk to her. But could you imagine
without Peggy al and Peggy The actor and actor and actress segel And O'Neill,
No, they sort of like they sort of like became those characters. They're
those actors or those characters. Whenever you see them in something else, you're
like, that's Albundy or that's Peggy Bundy. And you know, he's had
a lot of success in although there's a there's striking similarities to his character with
was a Modern Family. Right You ever seen any of The Modern Family with
Albert Bright. You watch it and you're like, that's the show with Albundy.
Yeah, which is I I'm fine with. But it almost wasn't them.
In fact, I was reading this about when they wrote the show,
who they actually wanted to play Alan Peg and it was neither of those two.
It was some pretty famous comedians at the time. And the problem was
the two comedians hated each other, I guess, or wouldn't they didn't They
wouldn't work together. I don't know if hated is the right word, but
they ain't get along, and so it got really complicated, and so they
had to expand their search and they and some other ideas. But the two
initial individuals that writers wanted for for Peggy was Roseanne Barr. Okay, I
get yeah, you'd see some you know, she she was right in the
middle of the whole domestic goddess upstart when she was really hitting her. I
don't know, man, he said, Rose in Bar. Yeah, because
when she first came out, she was sort of like big you know,
and Peggy say what you want about Peggy Bundy, she was kind of like,
you know hot, right. Yeah, Well it was the Yeah,
it was the like she had the shape where it was the whole thing where
it was like that was an extra layer where every time she, you know,
get flurry with Ali didn't want anything to do with it, and he'd
like, what's wrong with her? So, but the the lead, the
AWL character was written for Sam Kinnison. It's been amazing, I mean and
no, because he has way too much energy to be al buddy. Yeah,
if you're going to give it up right, El Bundy's on the couch
and you're right, he's defeated. He's a defeated man, and Sam Kinnison
is not defeated. Sam Kinnison is like, I will yell at you until
I get what I want, right, So that those two when they realized
that wasn't going to work on Owl. Next up, Michael Richards, Yeah,
like like like Kramer, Kramer, Yeah, that's crazy. Maybe maybe
he could have pulled it off. I don't know. Uh and uh so
they're they're going through and then for a moment they're like, I don't know
for we're just not finding people, and then Ed O'Neill's agent set him down
and uh or Ed O'Neil decided he was going to go audition. O'Neill's agent
called him and told him, your loone, this is an upstart network.
This is bad for your career. And I think before then he had been
in scarface. Yeah, I'm not sure what all things he had been in
there, but it's super weird to see him in that. He's like wearing
this this suit, like the Miami suit, and he's like, yeah,
or am I thinking of Miami Vice he was one of the two. I
think it's like yeah, but I can't remember him. Weird when you see
a character free whatever their defining role is, right, So the Richards said,
but I guess when O'Neal went down there, he when he was reading
for him, he threw in that sigh that he that he did like and
they said, oh, that's that's him. And then Katie sigal Er say,
I can't remember I pronounced her name. She was a you know,
she was in the rock bands. That was her thing. She was a
musician. And she showed up literally wearing that, you know, that kind
of outfit because of who she was. She dressed like that as as a
rocket roller. And they're like sold And I didn't realize that when they shot
the pilot, the two kids were different actors, and they tested it and
while they liked it, they didn't they didn't like the kids in there,
so they just recast them and boom, there you go. But yeah,
man, and uh and so I was reading this and the impetus was it
was uh. But they Sam Kinnison did did come and play a different character
on the show for a couple episodes, and apparently it was at that point
that producers realized what a bullet they had dodged. According to and remember,
this isn't a time in Hollywood when you didn't have a me too movement running
around, You didn't have intimacy coordinators, you didn't have DEI officials from the
network there. And yet they say the Kinnison during his time on set so
offended every member of the cast and crew. Let's see here, every member
of the cast and crew. Because he showed up on the first day of
filming and proceeded to when being introduced, you know, everyone's standing around for
they start filming, he turned around and mooned everybody, and once Kinison later
realized that he might have offended folks, he invited everyone to a birthday dinner
at Spago to make amends. And then when they showed up, Kennison,
who at the time had the you know the screw you money, instead had
strippers serve everyone. I don't I don't know how they agreed to that,
but whatever, I think. The weird trivia with that show. You know,
it's connected to professional wrestling, all right, I've heard, I've heard,
I don't remember. Yeah, the creators of the show were big professional
wrestling fans. King Kong Bundy was on an episode of it, right,
But the Bundys were named after King Kong Bundy and the neighbors next door the
Roads. It was spelled differently, but they were. It was after Dusty
Rhodes. Oh really, yep, you know it's funny. It's funny too
because let's see here, because there is speaking of the creator here we go,
Yeah, Gary Cohen. Apparently the shooting went so well that by the
third day, Kennison reportedly waved a gun and threatened to shoot Cohen because after
filming, Cohen's trying to find his girlfriend, who was a big Sam Kinison
fan. Yeah, and so Cohen went over to Kennison's house to find his
girlfriend and Kennison came out. I guess I don't. I've heard it described
as either pants less or in his underwear waving a gun at him. So
all sorts of crazy. Man. I wonder if Sam Kennison was on anything.
I can't believe that out okay, clean living there man. So yeah
that, Uh, I'm sorry I found that. Uh that married with children's
stuff. Fascinating, man, absolutely fascinating. I just don't think it would
have worked Roseanne bar and Sam Kennison, who, by the way, got
no problem there. Uh you know, Kennison's nuts, but uh I his
comedy albums man probably ruined me getting a hold of those things when I was
younger. But holy crap, I can't see that not being Ed O'Neill or
Roseanne for that matter. On the peggy side. So all right, A
couple things yesterday there was a very very big, big deal regulatory ruling.
And keep in mind this is this is when people say, you know,
unelected bureaucrats doing stuff and how impactful it can be. This isn't a good
example of it. You can agree or disagree with it, but you can't
argue that it is not impactful. So federal regulators, with the Federal Trade
Commission, on Tuesday afternoon, took a vote on a new rule, and
it is a rule that will have impact on millions and millions of Americans.
How many of you, as part of your employment have a non compete,
you know, within the with in my industry, it is very common,
so full disclosure, I have one of these, or I maybe I do.
I don't know, but you know, you get a lot of sales
jobs will have these, not just within radio, TV but in general.
And I've seen non competes on medical practitioners, you name it. But yeah,
I have mixed I have mixed emotions about it because I you know,
in in my now getting away from my stuff, I want to be clear,
I'm not talking about any specifics with you know, my my employment relationship,
but rather conceptually, Okay, I see non competes, as I understand,
especially in the world of TV and radio to some extent, what's up
with that, right, because you're your branding personality and stuff, and there's
a lot of minutia there. But I also see where if you're going to
do non competes, why severance is a thing that needs to be there.
So you know, hypothetically, if you have a non compete and severance let's
say six months each or whatever, right, then for six months you may
not be able to work under whatever the restrictions are, but you're still receiving
your compensation. You know, during that time. Take the time you can.
You can still probably negotiate, depending on what your says, but the
reality is or maybe you can't, but you can kind of have an eye
on the ball to get you a drift. The FTC says no, and
the overwhelming majority of non competes. Although don't run and scream at your boss
yet, because I think it's won't take effect for one hundred and twenty days
are finished, unless you know some legal wrangling Congress involves. I'm not sure.
I'm sure there'll be a lawsuit for senior executives though, And this is
a very very high threshold. They non competes can still work, and they
get into all the reasons why, and it's a lot of it's about strategy
and you know company secret stuff like that. So that's great, just boom.
One day they're there, one day they're not. And look, I've
seen people not just in my industry, but or not just with you know,
people within the radio industry, but also people within TV and whatnot.
And I pay attention to this stuff because it's it's you know, within the
business. It may not be stuff I talk about on the air, but
I'll see stories where there's like some host went from one place and then went
to the other and it sure looked like they've fulfilled their non compete requirements,
but then the former employer sues and it looks like it's just to be petty.
And I've also seen people sign them and then just go hey, why
don't you as sue me, and then lawsuits do it when they just decide
they're going to ignore it. So like I get all sides, and you
can have an opinion one way or the other. The way it was couched
is that the non compete was something that is devious and was wholly based on
employers wanting to remove control and tamp down on their employees, you know,
basically a way to let them know, yeah, sure you can quit,
but if you do for six months or whatever it is, you're not gonna
work. And then that forced people to stay in that job. And yeah,
I can I can see it, and I do think that that's motivation
on the part of some but all I can also understand the other arguments,
and then it just comes down to your individual negotiation. So here, but
here's my question. Why shouldn't if why shouldn't an employer and an employee or
potential employee at a time of negotiat be able to negotiate that element well,
and well why should the government say you can't have it? And the argument
would be why they need to step in and do this is there are many,
many, many things that you as part of contract negotiation can't negotiate or
and if you put it in the contract, it wouldn't be legal. They
would they would if you ever took the contract to court, they would say,
no, these are things you cannot put into a contract. And it
runs the variety, it runs, you know, or runs the gamut.
There's a variety of things. But the purer question, I guess is who's
the government to get in the way of an employer and an employee negotiating something
like this. And then the other side is, well, that's the situation
we existed under. And there are clearly cases where people are signing non competes
for jobs that have no business with no competes, and then you and in
that case I recognize and by the way, they would have a non compete
and may not even have a severance attached to it, or at least one
that is the same amount of time. So there'd be a window, let's
say it's three months, six months, there'd be a window where you couldn't
work for or you couldn't you get severance for three months, but then the
next three months until you hit the end of your six month non compete,
you can't work. But they just fail swooped it, man. So that's
that's gonna be a big deal. I'm curious what you think of non competes.
Yay nay? Should government get out of the way or are they something
that should go on the list of things that are deemed illegal or problematic that
can't be contracted for because that's where the FTC is banishing the idea except in
the very specific C level suite executive standpoint. All right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four, you canna let me know what's up
with that. Let's see here. Yeah, it is a little self serving,
but I think, yeah, it's a it's a big deal man.
All Right, So coming up on the show, here's what we still got
to get to. Uh we got we got Duncan news because why not?
Absolutely? Uh? There is uh, there's a twist, a new a
new follow up for the the migrants who were flowing to Martha's vineyard. This
is just I guess Democrats, some of the Democratic lawmakers who were pushing this
idea are going to get their way. And I think they think they're sticking
it to DeSantis or the Texas I don't know. I don't know who they
think they're sticking it to. But we'll let you be the judge. And
I feel like I should be the NASA administrator, you know, And and
here's why I can make it. I can make a compelling argument. You're
ready, I should be the NASA administrator because I know more about space than
the NASA administrator Ross. You watch a lot of Star Trek, probably a
lot more than anyone I know. That's I mean, I feel like I
don't want to step on your toes. I feel like maybe you're even more
qualified, no question, although that dome stuff may come back though though I
mean right, NASA is in charge of the dome, so in a way
that fits. So anyway, Yeah, I just listen to this dude talk
does not does not fill me with confidence. Uh in the same way that
uh who played the guy who played uh Teddy in The Martian, Jeff who
is the NASA the NASA administrator of Marshall in The Martian, Like that dude
looked like he knew about space. Why I can't I remember his character Dame.
That's crazy. But yeah, this is the actual one, and I'm
questioning some of this. I'll explain what he was talking about. And I
know it's way early, but if you probably if you want to get some
crush, are you one of those people at Christmas shops year round? I
got a great idea for the Second Amendment, loving man or woman in your
life. So all that more coming up. Case O Day Radio program,
Patrick mahomes As they were trying to get him to host Saturday Night Live,
and in a recent interview, Mahomes revealed Nope, he wasn't going to do
it. Mahomes Is said to the claims to suffer from, is it glossop
I think it's glossophobia, which is a fear of public speaking, which a
lot of people do. I don't know if I have a fear of it
necessarily, but I don't like it. I don't feel that it best portrays
me or the show, even though we you know, ross and I don't
use scripts. Man, it is off the cuff. I've just never really
liked public speaking. But I don't know that I if I am forced to
do it, I'll do it kind of thing, right, But he doesn't
like it, which is, you know, for some people's kind of wild
to hear when somebody's you know, a very very high profile athlete does press
conference and stuff like that. But even a press conference is kind of in
your realm and is not the same thing as And they say that like one
of his biggest fears is the finality of being on live television. And I
will only say this, I think that if he wanted to do something to
be really self aware. Well there's something he could do, and also he
should remember that no matter how badly he thinks it went, he should then
watch the Steven Sigull episode and you will feel a thousand times better than whatever
you did there. But like, put him out there for the monologue and
then when he starts talking and you know, and if he screws up,
have have the monologue stop. Put you know, put like a game clock
on the screen, right, and then get a couple actors to come out
or you know, cast members dressed as uh, you know zebras are not
actual zebras. I'm referring to referees. But and then have them review it
and then absolve it as not have having happened. That would be really funny,
right because it's you know, it said self deprecating thing based on right,
he's kind of throws interceptions and then they're called back right for holding penalty
whatever. I like him more now because he said he's nervous to do it.
That kind of that makes him like human. Can you constantly see people
that are on the show they're like, you know, I have never done
this before and I'm not nervous, and they go on and they do a
great job or you know, I semi great job, and he's like,
I'm terrified of it. And even though I perform on a stage on television,
it's different because that's a sport, right, And yeah, I'm not
I'm not gonna do it. I like him more for that. Yeah,
it's uh, that would be terrifying to me. Yeah, I get I
get it. I just it's like there's an opportunity there by the way I
was written in the article, there is one other issue I have with this
article here. So they play all that out. Let's see here we go.
Uh. In the history of SNL, thirty five athletes have served as
hosts, and you know what's some have been incredibly funny episodes. Peyton Ross
and are talking about the soft the year the Peyton Manning episode is that's great.
He's just naturally funny. He's a funny guy. Yeah, that was
great. There's if you haven't seen it, there's one skit where he's it's
like one of those United Way, you know, athletes working with the kids
saying Peyton shows up in his dad's sweater and the kids, little kids on
the football field and with like ninety per hour. Football is at the kids
chest, knocking them over and then yeah, and then the kid drops the
timeouts in the porta potty. He's screaming at the kids. It's it is
really well done. I would encourage you to check that out. Hull Cogan
is hosted. Tom Brady Let's See Lebron hosted. I don't remember the Lebron
episode. And then I got to this name, ready, mister T.
Mister T's not an athlete. He was a world heavyweight champion. Okay,
he murdered. He murdered Mickey accidentally. It is manslaughter, dude, but
it was before a fight, so I mean, you can't really call that.
You're okay, stop stop if you want a murder athlete. O.
J. Simpson hosted. Okay, I think it was the second one,
but he did mister Now, I will tell you this, mister T did
play. He played D one college football, and I think they had but
then he you know, he did the thing where he injured himself and so
U he tried to get NFL teams. Interesting. I think he went to
one tryout. I remember reading somewhere, but yeah, it's crazy. It
came out of the Los Angeles underground to perform on national television. Is a
soldier of fortune? Okay, well, then put them on the list of
soldiers of Fortune. I was actually watching an old eighteen episode and as a
kid, you're like, man, this is so realistic, you know what
I mean? This is a great show or a great show in the eighties.
Yeah, it's a kid, this is great. This is what it
was like to be such a fortune. Yeah. But like there's the the
guys, you know, the hoodlums, you know, they're they're whatever.
They've got rifles and they're coming after the A Team and they open up the
barn doors and they're like, come on out, and where are they at.
I have no idea where they were. Somewhere, they had a barn
in a field of something, so they opened it up, and apparently the
A Team they were in a dire straits because they, you know, they
were out of weapons. So what they did is they made a makeshift cannon
on top of this truck that they shot heads of lettuce and cabbage out at
the guys that are in the barn with the rifles trying to get them,
and of course, the A Team completely decimates the idiots with the rifles with
the cabbage and the lettuce and it looks like an American gladiator gun sort of
thing on top of this truck. That's a shooting out cabbage after cabbage.
So many questions like one, like, okay, so they made a big
potato gun. And here's the deal. I have made a a projectile vegetable
projectile custom firearm myself out of stuff that we had in a barn. You
got if you got PVC or get some metal piping and you have like maybe
one of the the shrew on areas that has like a you know, it
would be like a place that you could attach in a in a length of
piping to provide you an access point with a smaller opening. That's all you
need and you can shoot. We shot candle up. We were We made
one with PVC that was fitting candle open. It was amazing. That is
a very interesting question. I'll tell you. It's in charge of NASA,
Bill Nelson. Bill Nelson, who is the NASA administrator. And I would
assume I've never worked at NASA. I am not at ROSS. Am I
a rocket scientist. He's gonna check that real quick. Oh yeah, let
me check that. No, But but I could be mistaken for one right
when people, oh, easy, you can pull it off. Yeah,
and they're like, yeah, okay, it's probably rockets. Okay. But
I think if you're going to be the head of NASA, there's probably a
few basic concepts and things that you should know. Like one term that you've
you've probably heard and maybe even done LSD two Dark Side of the Moon.
Are you familiar with that? Not the album in this case, we're talking
about the actual hemisphere of the moon. Okay, I just want to be
clear. So here we go. The Administrator of NASA is at a hearing
yesterday and the hearing, during the course of it, was asked this question,
mister Nelson, the Chinese. What are the Chinese doing on the back
side of the moon? Dark side moon? Whatever? What are they doing
there? Remember Chinese have sent now two probes over there, and you know
what are they doing? Do they not go? Well? And they're just
not telling us. So they build in a big, a big rail gun,
which wouldn't be great because the reason you know that's part of the moon,
that there's a there's a misnomer and I don't want to spoil it because
apparently Bill Nelson isn't aware of it, the head of NASA. Nelson then
claimed that the far side of the moon is what is what generally you'll hear
it referred to as within scientific circles rather than dark side. He said that
he he doesn't know, and the reason they don't know is because nobody goes
to the far side of the moon because it's always dark there and you can't
see anything. I'm not even gonna get into the part where we have lights
on stuff. But what does the director of NASA really think that the dark
side of the moon is permanently in pitch black. You're the head of NASA,
I could, I guess I could forgive people, because look, dark
side of the moon is a little misleading. And here's the deal. A
lot of the time it is so for those who don't know, or I
guess, I guess never really bothered to think about it. So the moon,
the way that the Moon orbits and the way that the Earth orbits then
around the Sun. And since you have this portion of the moon, this
hemisphere of the moon that never is from Earth, what they mean by dark
is they mean dark in the sense that we can't see it, but it
doesn't mean it's always dark, because remember the little spinny models. As the
Earth is moving in its elliptical around the Sun, there is there's a term
for it. Now, this is this is where I demonstrate I'm not a
rocket scientist, but there is there is a term for it. But basically,
it doesn't mean that it lacks sunlight at all times. It just means
we can't see it. So is the director of NASA. The administrator of
NASA convinced that where the Chinese land of their probe is, it's so dark
it's not worth going to, and it's never it's never come up because I
feel like the director of NASA may have input on things we may or may
not want to do as part of the space program and probably should know that
that's crazy to me. Man or they're covering up the secret bases, So
I guess you'd go that route as well. But yes, the Administrator of
NASA doesn't understand, I would argue one of the most well well known geographic
points in space, if you think about it, not a clue. They
pointed out that the United States has concentrated their efforts on the South Pole,
and by the way, that's understandable, and that's what you should have said.
But on the on the what are the Chinese doing? Him saying he
has no idea? Well, who knows. But but you know, the
reason that we've now focused on the South Pole. There is the water,
you know, a little bit of the uh, you know, the possibility
of what was the there's another term for some of the base stuff they're looking
at, but also the possibility of me, you know, setting up a
fueling station or a launch station. They have a variety of different reasons,
and admittedly I'm not the director of NASA, so I don't know all of
those reasons, but he should probably should. Gosh, what else does he
think is either real or not real that he's completely screwed on when it comes
to space. I'd be very curious. I'd be very curious at what else
he's confused by. That's just embarrassing. Bro. All right, seven twelve
CaCO Day Radio program. Oh man, all right, let me get into
this. So, of course, you remember the day we all learned that
a plane had landed on Martha's vineyard, and aboard that plane were forty nine
or fifty illegal immigrants who had been transported from San Antonio, Texas, to
Florida and then to Martha's Vineyard and everyone lost their crap. The media couldn't
get to Martha's vineyard fast enough. I'm sure some of them are probably there
hanging out with their the Obamas or something, but that that blew up,
and they, you know, like, we're gonna get We're gonna get the
sheriffs to investigate, They're gonna arrest the Don DeSantis and the Texas Governor Abbott
and oh, they can't do this. This is an outrage, And at
that moment it was such a perfectly played chess piece in the political back and
forth on this. You know what, I'm sorry that I just got distracted.
So we brought up a very good point. Yes that probably I should
have pointed this out too, although I kind of did, because it is
it is what two weeks from the last time we thought the end was nine
we all were gonna die with the eclipse. So to have an eclipse feasibly,
you have to have the Moon directly in front of the Sun because the
times difference in size of the Moon to Sun and the distance are equal,
which allows a full eclipse, which would require the Sun to beat on to
the dark side of the Moon. Yes, you're absolutely right, that point
in and of itself should have doing that. And NASA has video of the
dark side of the Moon because we used the Moon as a projection, a
way to project our spacecraft using the gravity assist from the Moon. Very famously,
if you've ever seen Paullo thirteen, that is exactly what Hanks and his
team are forced to do with their failed moonlanding mission. Oh yes, yes,
that would have been yet another Yes, that would have been another good
moment for the NASA director. All right, anyway back to this, Well,
that all simmered down because they realized there's nothing you can do and now
we have what we have here, right, we have New York and Chicago
and all of these big cities were like, yes, we're Amnesty cities.
And people went all, right, here we go. And then they went,
no, no, we didn't mean that. We just meant from like
a distance. And well, the thing that kicked it all off now has
a new wrinkle, I guess because they thought they were going to get back
at them. And it feels like when they name a bill something just to
be snarky and jerks. So us Citizenship and Immigration services at the behest of
activists and lawmakers have been granted what is known as a bonafied determination, and
what that means is the forty nine individuals who were transported from Florida to Martha's
Vineyard, or from Texas and Florida to Martha's Vineyard based on a bonafide determination,
are that is all, that is the last barrier to receiving what is
known as a UVISA right. So they are on a pathway to being able
to stay here because, in I guess retaliation, they have granted it,
saying that the forty nine are under the exemption of victims of crime. It's
a little hard to follow, but hear me on this so as it screw
you, I guess in their mind to DeSantis and Abbott and people who thought
that, you know, the Martha's Vineyard thing was perhaps a good thing to
show exactly what is happening down the southern border that many folks who are cool
with it don't have to experience. They then decided that even though they couldn't
prosecute DeSantis, that never went anywhere. They made an argument that these individuals
were quote crime victims based on what DeSantis did and then just rubber stamped it
in Washington so that they can literally, I'm sure one day run a campaign
ad or be given a speech somewhere and be like, yes, and my
opponents are so evil. They victimized forty nine migrants for a political stunt.
How do we know? The Customs and Immigration Services made a determination that they
were victims of crime. How could my opponents do this to these poor people
just seeking a better life, and then they victimize him the moment they get
here, Mark my words that that is what this is about. The sheriff
Javier Salazar, who by the way, is is a moon bat. Right,
remember this guy on CNAED he's saying I'm gonna get him. I'm gonna
get them look into this. He made a determination, though not in an
official capacity, I guess, but he made a determination that, yeah,
he felt that this was criminal. He felt during his one month investigation that
the immigrants had been lured under false pretense aboard the plane and then stranded on
Martha's vineyard. The UV for the individuals will now be now approved. So
there you go. I guess they are approved, and now they just now
they get to see how slowly government works. So there you go, all
right, Jake, what's up? Hey? I don't think the Chinese are
landing on the moon because everybody knows the moon is gas and supplies energy,
so they're probably harvesting energy off the moon. Well, they could be hovered,
sir. I mean that's that's a possibility. I mean, I don't
think they're landing. They're they're they're they're harvesting the gas off the moon,
because because everybody knows the moon is made of gas. Right, you know
what, you make a good point? We should you know what? She's
going to be out of a job here because I just realized, Thanks for
the call there, sir, I just realized she ran. She ran in
primary for a different office or no, she ran for mayor. That's what
it was. She Jack ran for mayor of Houston, didn't win, and
and as a result, I don't know, she's she's gonna be out of
Congress. Why not put her in charge of NASA? Look, Bill Nelson's
an idiot, So if we're gonna have an idiot in there, it might
as well be one with good sound bites. But is that not fair?
Can you can you imagine, when's the last time you watched a NASA press
conference. Pretty much somebody had to have been killed, right, I mean
right, there's a shuttle issue. That's that's generally when you're watching a NASA
press conference until they start hauling aliens in front of there most people. It's
exactly what happened with when we went to the Moon. By the time we
did it the sixth time, the ratings were abysmal because we had short attention
spans, you know, even back in the seventies. That's crazy. So
with that in mind, put Shila Jackson Lee. If if you're gonna have
somebody in there who actually knows nothing about space and who once famously asked them
to drive the Mars Rover over to the Armstrong flag, I'll let you figure
out why the Mars Rover and the moon landing flag they may not be able
to meet. Yeah, because Nelson's an idiot and just took dark side of
the Moon to heart. She can't figure out that moon landing and Mars Rover
have two different celestial bodies names in there. Now, to be fair,
they do start with them. They are four letters, so you know,
understandable in that sense, all right, we got Hey, we got more
on the Alec Baldwin story. I know, but it's yeah, there's there's
a whole bit of crazy that we didn't know on day one. And also,
yeah, here we go. How young is too young to be left
at home alone when Texas mom decided to check the And I understand it too,
kids on a cruise ship or annoying. All right, they're just on
a cruise ship and they're excited. So but still still, if you don't
want to deal with that, then this mom thought she had come up with
a unique solution. And we'll also get into some of the stuff for seeing
from the Trump trial, because yesterday already, man, already we were we're
just into the stupid and that's because they said they decided to start the trial
with David Pecker, the Inquirer guy, which I don't understand from a prosecution
standpoint, why that's your first place you're going. But whatever, we'll bring
you up to speed on what happened yesterday. Phone number eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four back in just a few minutes. It is
the case O Day Radio program. It's just amazing the cross section of you
know, expertise in a variety of fields, situations, issues that you know
that you have availability of when you when you work in this this kind of
environment, like when you're a radio host and you got a you know,
a decent audience out there, chances are whatever you're talking about, somebody has
some really interesting inside knowledge. And as we're going through the space thing,
Ross, did you realize it must I'm estimating ten percent of our audience must
be a rocket scientists from my email. It's crazy how many brilliant uh NASA
would be NASA engineers are listening because I can't argue with any of this logic.
The reason the Chinese landed on the dark side of the moon is because
if they landed on the light side like we do, the moon might tip
over from too much weight on one side. That's fair, sir. That's
why I think it's insane. We're landing on the south pole. We have
to keep we have to keep the thrusters engaged the entire time we're there so
we don't just fall off the bottom. This is why this is why you
know, Frank me in charge would probably be a better idea. I'd be
like, why don't we land on the north pole right boom, and you
can, you know you can, you can shut the key off, hang
out, do whatever. Moon doesn't really rotate do anything, so you're fine.
Be great if it did, because then you could start your day on
the north pole with the landing, and then when you hit the south pole,
just you know, pull the chalks up and I guess you're the probe
or your your capsule just drops off for those who are just joining us.
The head of NASA and in a congressional testimony yesterday, said that we didn't
go to the dark side of the moon, and you didn't know what the
Chinese are doing because it's too dark to see anything. But it's not called
the dark side of the moon for that. It's just because it faces away
from us and gets light, including giant eclipses that just happened shining directly on
it. But I wonder what else, man, I wish they would have
deep dove to figure out how many other things this guy doesn't know what the
hell he's talking about. Just for my amusement, I want to learn these
things like this, Oh, I just thow to this. Do you think
he has like a prohibition on lactose in tolerant astronauts it's called the milky way,
right, Or what does he thinks in the crab nebula a seafood business
opportunity? I have so many questions for this guy. Yeah, I can't
believe they let him off without really digging into how far. Oh my gosh,
I don't know. If this what do you think he thinks a black
hole is? Probably don't ask him that under oath Man he might find himself
canceled. That is crazy. Does he think the term white dwarf is a
derogative? Well, no, it's got roll white in front of it.
So it's like you put white in front of you can pee as derogatory as
you want. I don't know, man, but I do have questions.
All right, check this out, because I if I my head will explode
if I just dwell on that. So a uh, day one or day
two, I should say, But really the crux of the testimony from the
publisher of the National Inquirer, David Pecker. I started testifying day one,
went into a day two, and it was an interesting decision I think to
make that your your opening witness. For a few reasons, not the least
of which is them this particular piece of testimony. So the former publisher Pecker
testified that what it came to bridge of Trump vert because these guys are friends.
They you know, there were conversations being had. However, it looked
like the very first conversation that was had on the whole. What happens if
people start coming up with, you know, Trump hit piece stuff and they
want to sell their story to the media. Because remember, the allegation is
that if somebody came forward and said, hey, I have this very toddery
tale of Donald Trump, and I want to tell my story. By the
way, I want to get paid for it. Can he help me out
that The accusation is that Pecker would buy the story to and then have them
sign all the stuff saying, hey, we own all the rights. Even
you can't tell the story. They would cash their check because you know,
that's what it was about in the end anyway, and then they wouldn't run
the story, which, ironically it seems a much more cut in dry version
of the same decisions that moonbat newsrooms make every day right where they have a
relationship with a candidate or a politician and even though the money's not I guess
changing hands in as specific a way they will memory hold the story that's out
there or just ignore it wholesale. But Pecker said that the first conversation was
not a conversation with Trump, but rather a conversation that he and Michael Cohen
had, and a series of conversations during which Cohen and Pecker devised a way
to buy up and bury the bad news stories. And that's the testimony.
That's why I'm in my brain, I'm like, why would you put this
guy on the stand. And one of the very first things he tells the
jury in this case is that the thing that is that he and Trump are
being accused of was a thing that he did with Michael Cohen. And I
understand that Cohen is Trump's attorney, But when you listen to the various ways
that the that they've described some of these there was a lot of like,
here's what you get. You get a lot of disconnect. Right. You
have somebody who's working for you, and their general thing is I'm busy.
You know, when you're Trump or you're somebody in that position where you got
all all this stuff going on, you may you may have your fix it
guy working for you, and a lot of times he's just out there doing
stuff and he's not He's not bothering you with the details until you have to
be bothered with the details. And that's kind of what was described by Pecker
yesterday, and that feels like it could be problematic to try to put Trump
right in the middle of that. But I digress. And then they gave
some There was different stories they talked about. There was a doorman story,
there was some other stuff. We had to do, a Ted cruise and
Ben Carson they talked about. And then Pecker said, yes that he and
Cohendre in a conversation really on other stuff. Positive the theory that women might
step forward to sell stories about Trump, the you know, Trump for a
very long time had that most eligible bachelor vibe. You've probably seen the Playboy
cover Time magazine just and so with that in mind, they assumed that there
might be problems. And ironically, this feels a lot like the what was
the term Limbaugh used to use, Oh, the bimbo eruption squad, Yeah,
the bimbo eruption squad. But you know, just I guess at arm's
length rather than Hillary headnet herself. All Right, anyway eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four we'll not quite ready yet. Okay, well
we'll be checking out. We're good to go. All right, let's get
raised agic from the weather channel in here. And how you doing this morning?
Sir? What's going on? Hey? I'm doing well? How about
You's pretty good? An audi pause, You're like, who do you think
I was talking to? Well? I don't know. Sometimes there's a little
bit of a a little bit of a hesitation. Now you never know who's
going to join the crowd, right the party. Yeah, sometimes to our
own detriment. But yeah, no, we'll get a little nuts here,
you know how it goes? Right? Well? Is the weather going to
be nuts? Though it's not going to be too bad? Some sprinkles of
rain. Good thing. I put in some showers because somebody's probably reached aground
Danville in southern Virginia heading into the triad right now. Any right, I
was showing them some darker green and some yellow and eastern Tennessee near Johnson City.
Don't do it. And those showers may try to clip, but I
don't even know who. What was I gonna do? How was we gonna
do it? Well? If people were probably every time I hear Johnson City
at you know, Tennis, Afri get it anyway, it is a good
song. It is a good song, and uh so any fun time left
right correct? Yeah, Eddie, Sunshine left over saved the way here pretty
quickly. If you're cloudy, you'll stay cloudy to partly sunny today mid seventies,
low seventies, try it west and into the mountains Tonight clear upper forties
to low fifties. And I won't be surprised if after we get the clouds
in the showers today that later we do get some clearing. And I think
if the kids at ball games this evening, you're gonna be in good shape,
not even worried about many of these showers. They should be over with
by then, and then set us up for a nice around a sunshine for
Thursday and Friday sent around seventy degrees, so be on either side of that.
Low's upper forties to low fifties. Weekend is going to be great.
Saturday, partial sun load of mid seventies near eighty for Sunday, could be
back into the load of mid eighties by Monday and Tuesday and sunshine so overall
case a pretty dry weather pattern. Maybe, like I said, a little
bit of scattered shower action today. Other than that, I think we're gonna
be a real nice shape. Humidity comfortable, dyke time lows will be comfortable
warming trend toward especially a late weekend early next week. There's also wagon Wheel.
Did you think that was the song I was gonna refer? I thought
was the song? Yes, I thought you were thinking. Well, they
both they both have you know, they both talked about Johnson City policeas right.
All right, Well, any who, I assumed that you were a
little down because you heard that one of our cohorts had given up. Well
who gave up? Our our friend of the west. She trapped him.
She trapped him, he posted on social media. Oh yeah, yeah,
and I couldn't. I can't by our friend. Who's the morning guy at
iHeart in Asheville is Beyonce finally is now as fiance. She she got him
so not long saturdays, he'll no longer be Yeah, it's crazy, I
man, yeah, all right, thanks? Right, yeah, oh what
do you? All right? Congrats? I tease his Uh, it's very
nice. Actually I met her. She actually came up with him to that
that broadcast in DC. So anyway, not Pete, We're Todd. Mark
is the guy's name who does the Asheville I heard anyway seven forty seven k
O Day radio program. So uh yeah, yeah, this thing is dragging
on and they're rectimating. Is still six weeks on this trial, all of
which Trump's just got to sit there and watch this insanity. But yeah,
that's really where they started. And I thought, well, that's an interesting
point that you just brought up. And you're the prosecutor and you knew what
he was going to testify too, and you still put it out there.
But you know, when the fix is in, maybe it doesn't matter.
Are hang on? We opened the show earlier just I just mentioned mister T,
and I called up his Wikipedia page because I wanted to be accurate that
he wasn't a guy who was a quote unquote sports star, because I was
quibbling over his inclusion in an article as a quote sports star who hosted SNL
and you know, as Ross pointed out, you know, world champion,
but in reality, he played college football but never did anything after that.
But there is so much I didn't know about mister T. And I'm ashamed
of myself, like, do you know where all the gold chain thing came
from? I didn't, Now I do. Apparently he spent much of his
time post post schooling working as a bouncer, and he was kind of like
he was kind of a guy who would get called into really really bad bars.
Well roadhouse kind of vibe to it. And one of his things that
he did is when somebody, you know, he had to tangle with somebody.
He estimates that there were over two hundred fights and count counting the number
of lawsuits filed against him, each of which he won. You know,
he might be exaggerating, but there was a lot. And if you tangled
with him and you were you remember this is the seventies. People are wearing
all of this jewelry, the disco era. And he got a piece of
your jewelry. He kept it, and then he wore it, and then
he would wear it all to shove it in the face of people who had
been thrown out of the bar. But if people came to him and apologized,
he would give them their jewelry back. But most people just would never
show up. You know that sober up the next morning. But what the
hell was I doing where's my chain? And that's how he ended up with
all those things. I think that's crazy. And then the other crazy thing
is he then from there he was such a good bouncer that they did show
about Bounce, a bouncer competition on NBC America's Toughest Bouncer, and he and
another by the name of Tutufano Tufi, a Hawaiian bouncer who was a giant
six foot five two and eighty pounds or the finalist, and then they had
to fight each other, and he othered the line during the interview, I
said, I just feel sorry for the guy who I have to box.
I just feel really sorry for him. Syl Vester Sloan was watching that and
immediately was writing Rocky three, and he loved the lines so much that he
changed it to I pity the fool and then pursued mister t initially to come
in and deliver a total of three lines. But in those three lines when
they filmed it, the cast and crew so hated his character in a good
way. He was They made him, you know, the villain of the
whole thing based on one line in one comp By the way, beat the
crap out of that Hawaiian bouncer and one of the things, so that is,
how did I not know all this stuff. I won't get into the
Eddie Murphy mister, by the way, that story back and forth. That's
crazy, man, And there's a bunch of other stuff. I'm not gonna
regalia. You can. You can go look it up at yourself. But
I found it quite fascinating. Kicking off our number three. Glad to have
you along, and wow, this is this is like pure nightmare fuel.
I didn't see this story initially. I didn't see the details of the story
initially with the dude who had the gator encounter down in South Carolina. But
we're going to get to that. But first I was sharing this story with
you. And this took place the campus of Shaw University. A seventy four
year old man is under arrest, and the way it's reported on is like
this, Basically, shots are fired. An officer was near enough that he
heard that it was on another call. Some of the calls came in and
when they arrived there were some people in the vicinity who said that there had
been a man with multiple firearms had gotten into a quote alter verbal altercation with
another man, and the shooter had apparently run into the Cultural center, which
is where this happened, which has classrooms on the bottom and has a mosque
upstairs, Okay, in a prayer room. That's going to be very specific
here, so that those are the details, and they show the guy under
arrest. They say he had three firearms in his possession, two in his
car, and they hit him with a bunch of stuff. What's interesting is,
from time to time I'm able to pick the brain of maybe some folks
who might have some working knowledge, might be in the criminal justice field themselves.
If he catch him a drift and how would you say, a source
close to the investigation he had he had some rather interesting context to this,
and I think it's I think it's strange that I don't see it in here.
One is why this dude was there? So why is he there?
Well, you may have guessed there's a mosque there, and uh, he
is. You know, his name would lead one to the conclusion that he
might be Muslim, which is fine, that's fine if you want to go
to you know, go to your church. Whatever. However, it's my
understanding that the altercation, so this this dude allegedly had like kind of in
he decided to kind of he was there too. He was he unofficially deputized
himself to kind of police the area around the prayer room, and the altercation
took place with a white dude walking a dog who had who you know,
which you can do. You can go walk a dog anywhere in in and
around the campus there. It's wide open man, and he took offense to
that. Obviously, there's the there's the dog component, which you know,
I'm sure you're aware of, which you know, if you don't like dogs,
or if you feel that they're religiously problematic, you shouldn't be forced to
it. But if you're on an area in a in a public area where
somebody can walk by, it's not like he'd try to take the dog inside.
But that may have been what set this off. So I don't know
if it was the whiteness or the dog or if any of those were a
component, but you know that's to be the beef of the of what set
this off. Also, while he's not affiliated with the school, he told
police it was his job to guard it. And then obviously the gun thing.
And I don't see charges for felling in a possession in possession and maybe
I don't know, maybe he changed his name. It's something, so it
wasn't initially in the charges, but I'm hearing that the guy might be a
felon, which if you got five guns and you're a fellon and you're shooting
at people, it's probably not gonna go well for you. So whether that
was left out intentionally, like it didn't take me long to track that info
down, is weird. And I say this because that the story I had
just shared with you is from WRL, and yesterday they took an activist word
on or they used an activist quote words to create, to create a muddied
scenario of what may have transpired surrounding that tragic death of the thirteen year old
girl who they found shot to death at a party apartment at like two thirty
in the morning on Monday, implying that well, she wouldn't have been there
had she not been suspended, right, she'd be home peacefully dreaming of Monday
morning school. And to throw that out there without any details, or to
source it to somebody who could speak more authoritatively on it, meaning a school
official, meaning a breakdown perhaps by one of the parents on specifically what it
was was weird to me In this case, they've just chosen to ignore the
context that might have been available with a little bit of digging, and I
feel like that's that's a little instructive as well, all right. So eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four what would you say? Let
me ask you, what would you say is your biggest fear going into the
wall at you know, uh, in in the ocean, in maybe some
of the tidal areas that brackish water that we get what what would you say
might be of the most concerned What is your nightmare scenario? The sharks,
the gators, stingrays, or maybe you don't care, you're you're you're here
for it. This this one's crazy, all right. So this guy's name
is Will Georgitas, and uh he he likes to dive, and he also
is part of his diving, he likes to go into the Cooper River.
This is down Goose Goose Creek area of the South Carolina, And so he's
in the Cooper River and he would get his dive tank and then he would
dive the river because there's a bunch of fossilized shark teeth on the riverbed,
and so he he goes down. He uses a screwdriver to kind of extract
him. I'm not sure the whole process, but good on him if that's
what he likes to do. Unfortunately, when this happened April fifteenth, he
had just about finished his dive in an area where it's about fifty fifty feet
deep and he was almost out of oxygen. Got up to the surface,
did you know, did the thing where he pulled his mask off, was
getting ready to then head to shore, and all of a sudden, a
giant alligator grabbed onto his arm, so he quickly I guess he's able to
get his mask down with the other arm, he starts fighting with the gat
He then uses his other hand. Oh excuse me. Then the gator,
according to the report, starts shaking the diver as they do, and eventually
drug him all the way to the bottom. Remember he's in fifty feet of
water, he's got very minimal oxygen. He's panicking, but not so much
that he didn't attempt one other thing. He grabbed the screwdriver that he'd been
using to extract the shark teeth and stab the gator in the head over and
over and over, and you know what, the gater did nothing. So
Georgita said he had to do something, and he had to make a decision.
Georgia's telling ABC's Good Morning America quote, I decided he couldn't have all
of me, so I put my feet up against him and kicked off of
him, at which point he's minus an arm. Did you do you think
you could be in a conscious Could you think you can make a decision?
Or would be because some people would just be like, this is it,
I'm done. But this guy had to make a decision, like you know,
like a raccoon non off its arm in a trap. He had to
make a split second decision too right, way, too long, you drown,
And then what's at that point would matter? He he realized, uh,
well, I guess I don't have an arm anymore, and then literally
basically kind of tore it off himself. The way it's described here is Georgia's
then frantically swam to a friend's boat, was taken ashore. His arm was
broken and needed a ton of staples just to close up the wounds, so
he was able he was able to rip the arm out. It didn't come
all the way off, but it's dangling at this point. But he said
he was, he was, he was willing to trade his arm to get
out of there, and good luck on this thing. They had it eye.
Look, it looked nasty just the way they had it wrapped up.
I can't imagine how cut up and swollen it is. Uh, let's see
here, how how many it's a whole bunch of stuff. But yeah,
would you be in that? Would you be able to go? All right,
Well, I guess I'm not gonna have an arm and make that decision.
Now it worked out slightly better than he thought, but not much judging
by the the bite picture here, that is crazy. South Carolina's had six
fatal alligator attacks since twenty sixteen. No, I've never seen a real big
one in South Carolina. I've seen a lot of little ones playing golf down
there south of Myrtle, like True Blue Caledonia in that area down there,
they got a lot of the little ones there. But I'm trying to figure
out, I'm sorry, scrolling the stories, I can't figure out the estimated
size of the gator well big enough to pin this due to the bottom,
all right, sore. If you never want to go in the water again,
there's your excuse right there, all right, eight sixteen here on the
Cacoda Radio program. Coming up on the show, we will get into this
Columbia University will give you an update on what's happening down there and the absolute
dumpster fire that they have created for themselves. We'll get into it next.
Hang on. I knew, I knew that mister T had been a bodyguard.
I did not realize he was a bodyguard for Michael Jackson, so that
was new to me. I thought, I he what I remember seeing his
pictures of him where he was bodyguard for Muhammad Ali and one of Joe Frazier,
a bunch of boxers he did bodyguard work for. I didn't realize it
was Jackson. You know somebody else? This this is I chuckled a little.
He also was bodyguard for LeVar Burton. I under if you're a boxer,
it may sound counterintuitive to you to have a boxer, like why would
a boxer need a bodyguard? You would not believe the number of people who
would see a professional boxer out in public and want to fight them. It's
crazy. I heard Tyson talk about this one time. People just come up
and swing on him. On what planet? Do you think it's a good
I remember this is not today's Tyson who I still wouldn't want to I don't
know, okay, because it's not just about strength or age or anything.
Technique is the core component of what that dude does. But people still come
up want to fight him or tough guy movie guys. I e. What
happened to Segal where he got his butt kicked by that dude in a bar
and then the paper reported on it and he tried to see the paper.
But who's attacking LeVar Burton like a cheese author? I wrote this kid's book
and you did not put it on your show like pissed off a literate people?
Yes, who's was going after LeVar Burton? Or is I was gonna
ask? Is there like a is there a segment of the Star Trek fandom
who's got beef with him that I'm unaware of? I can't think of anything.
I never heard of anyone derange. People who think like the reading rainbow
rainbow has like symbolism going way back, They're like, oh, it all
started with LeVar Burton. Yeah, I don't know, man, I just
stoopid rainbow. That's just like, how does LeVar I mean, if he
felt he was there, that he was threatening, he need a bodyguard?
I'm fine, but like, I just don't understand why he would need one.
And that's not I'm not trying to be mean to the dude, but
like, who wants to punch LeVar Burton? Oh man, everything's just weird?
All right? Let me flip back over to this. Oh by the
way, speaking of I was gonna word that in a way I probably shouldn't
speaking of people who you may want to punch in the face, but don't
do it. Uh. The North Carolina General assemblies back, Yep, yep
up, short session, getting things rocking and rolling. Today. I'll give
you a little a little preview here, just a moment of a couple couple
of the bigger items that really we're gonna have to see in the first couple
of days. You'll you'll see movement fast on what are going to be the
priorities. You may even see some sort of vote taken on what will be
part of the enjoy you will see, but kind of part of the agenda
with the short session works a little different but there's some big, big things
that could be part of this, and school school vouchers I think is probably
gonna be the big fight. So just a moment and we'll get into that.
But first let me get over to this. Do do Joe Biden?
I opened the show with this, but if you're just joining us, so
I'm going to hit it one more time real quick. So Joe Biden's down
in Florid, DA yesterday, and there were two things that he said.
Well, there's one thing he said and then the thing that he did.
And honestly, I almost feel like maybe the thing he did was to distract
from the stupid thing he said. Here's what he said. Listen closely.
It's not a very long cut, but he's asking you a question, okay,
so hopefully you can come up with an answer. Here is the president's
question in a sense, I don't know why he'd we're surprised by Trump.
How many times he have to prove we can't be trusted? How many times
just reiterate? How many times by nas do we have to prove meaning him
and I guess everyone around him, political supporters, his cabinet, whatever,
How many times do we have to prove we can't be trusted. I don't
know, but I feel like you've hit the number. I don't I don't
know what your you know, TOUTSI Pop asked question is supposed to mean you're
there, sir, you've hit the number, whatever the number may be.
And then at the rally, standing next to NICKI Freed and some other moonbats
down there talking about abortion, which is this core focus. Right, They're
in Florida in a room full of people who looked like they showed up because
they heard there was free drinks or something, and they're railing on this and
the President of the United States does the sign of the Cross as they're talking
about abortion. And if you're not Catholic, obviously you still know what it
is. You know, it's the four point you know, the side of
the cross there. And but from from a Catholic perspective, that's crazy.
That is. I was like, did I just see that? I was
watching for the other stuff. I was watching for the you know, the
what's the crazy crazy stuff he said, and I saw that, and I'm
like, oh my my gosh, how are you the uh, you know,
the what was it? The best Catholic president ever? Whatever? Your
spokesperson said, and you didn't realize how that may come across. It's bad
enough that you're like, it's the whole it's a pro abortion thing. But
somebody said he meant to say he, I understand that Joe Biden's line was
supposed to be He sir, I'm on it, got it. But that's
not what he's all right, anyway, back to you know, you do
the sign of the crowd. Now, by the way, some of you
have asked, was it upside down? No? Was it? Oh?
That's right. Yesterday was the rapture day. I completely forgot about the Oh
my gosh, I haven't even dug into the conspiracy theories. Well, it
didn't happen, I don't think. Yeah, I forgot. That was another
one of the days. It was the let's see virgo and jup Joe anyway
whatever. According to some people, they thought that that yesterday was supposed to
kick off Revelation twelve, which basically talks about the beginning. So I think
it's fine, although I don't know how many people are listening. Ross.
Did any of your or any of your neighbors gone, anyone in the building
gone. I didn't, Did we just get hosed on that, and then
what does that mean he's the anti Christ? Here, here's let me just
say this, Biden is not the Antichrist because the Antichrist is supposed to be
charismatic and draw people to him, and the polling would indicate otherwise. So
I think he was just confused. But there you go. All right,
let's let's grab a quick full Oh, hangout around, come to you just
a moment. Sorry, has real quick. What's up, hey, Casey?
How are you doing this morning? I'm pretty good, very good?
Good. Yeah, I was, uh, you were talking earlier about how
people are harassing boxers and such. Yeah, I'm a I'm a Jet Blue
pilot and you're going, yes, all right. Well, uh, when
I got to the airplane, the first thing we're supposed to do is we
checked the log book for any kind of maintenance discrepancies and whatnot. And the
first page on the right up the aircraft I was picking up was uh aircraft
partition between two seats destroyed by Mike Tyson and so, and it was removed.
And I was like, you, I get a story with you.
Do you think they're screwed with you? No? Exactly, Well, he
was a legit right up, and I'm like, so I immediately get the
story, you know how this cat was harassing him since he was sitting in
the in the terminal, and Tyson finally had enough and turn around and be
the crap out of him, and he destroyed the little plexiglass petition between the
two seats, and in the meantime, I was immediately started looking for the
partition. I was gonna put that in the man cave, but uh,
I guess the mechanic probably had it. But yeah, yeah, and that
dude deserved it, by the way, absolutely, And I dug into it
a little more. And as the captain, we have to scrap and see
as far as you know, booting people off their playing. Well, the
course, the guy who did it was gone, but you know, if
it had been up to me, i'd just said, hey, Champ,
you okay, And you know, I'm sure he was said yeah, I'm
sorry, I trying to rush you. This is fascinating to me, but
I have to ask you, how something else? Did you see the video
yesterday of this this this woman who starts screaming at the Mayor of New York
on that flight. Now, I didn't So Eric Adams was on a plane
and he said in uh, he said, in middle seat, he's got
obviously a security guy's the size of a house on the eye and this woman
starts screaming at him about you know, Israel, Palestine, hes all that,
and and like, I don't think they did anything to her. And
I'm like, how is that? How is that person not at least excommunicated
from whatever airline when they are screaming expletives, ignoring cabin crew and continue and
filming it for social media likes? Like, how is that person not not
thrown off that airline and maybe even put on the no fly list. It's
a mystery to me. When I brief my cabin crew, that's the first
thing, you know, if you've got a problem with the passenger, I
just don't ask questions. They just go right because there are the people have
to deal with them. I mean, I'm behind the locked door and so
yeah, somebody liked that. I can't. I'll have to look. It
might have been obviously there's a lot of flights, so jemp blew up there.
You got your own terminal up there. But I don't know. The
whole thing was just weird. By the way, you're not always in there.
Some some times you're behind the barricade of drinks, which I always find.
See this is true, all right, I got a roll. Thank
you very much for the ill appreciate it. Mike Tyson destroyed part of your
aircraft. Happy flying sir. That's amazing, all right, raced aging.
I know you want to hear it. Which now means you get a very
short weather but totally worth ahead. There's not much. A couple of sprinkles
of rain right now from just north of Greensboro Winston Salem up near Danville in
southern Virginia. That first round may produce a light shower. A lot of
the other stuff to the west having a tough time getting over the mountains,
so spotty showers here and there. You see or hear the mention of rain
today not going to be much. Won't cancel any plans for this afternoon or
this evening. I would think it will be a pretty good shape after that.
Temperature is upper sixties, maybe the most seventies. Tonight, clear close
to fifty with some up for forties to the west, sunshine, then back
for the rest of the week, load to mid seventies. Through Friday.
Little Wulver's up for the weekend, partly to mostly sunny. Gonna be a
nice run here. Low mid seventies on Saturday, probably close to eighty on
Sunday, could get well into the eighties early next week with two more sunny
days. Okay, see, very little rain might make a puddle today,
but I really don't think it's going to be much. And then a lot
of sunshine for the most part right through early next week. With a slow
warming trend. It's going to be real nice around here for quite a few
days. All right, Talk to you tomorrow, Thanks Sirka, and back
with Jeff Bellinger next thing. On Good morning. Casey stocks advanced yesterday investors
who were focusing their attention on corporate earnings. Futures are mixed this morning.
S and P and NASDAC futures both higher. The dial futures have been moving
back and forth positive to negative territory. Right now, they're down forty nine
points. Tesla shares rallied in after hours training and they are higher. Pre
Market demand for electric vehicles was week in the first quarter, but Tesla assured
investors it's working to boost sales, stepping up efforts to develop cheaper cars and
a ride hailing feature. If an airline cancels your scheduled flight, you're now
entitled to a refund. Under new Transportation Department rules just announced this morning,
airlines will have to provide automatic refunds to travelers whose flights are canceled or significantly
altered. A big majority of Americans nearly eight and ten, according to bank
Rate, consider home ownership a key component of the American dream, but affordability
is a growing problem. Prices are at an all time high, Mortgage interest
rates are sky high. Mortgage bankers just reported this morning the average interest rate
on a thirty year fixed rate home loan has set a five month high seven
point twenty four percent. Google's going to hold off on its plan to phase
out advertising cookies and its web Chrome browser. The little software files that let
marketers track our online movements will be around until sometime next year and a case.
There is less conviction among traders in the interest rates market that borrowing costs
will fall in twenty twenty four. The economy has been resumed, inflation has
been stubborn, and some traders are starting to wager that the Federal Reserve will
just hold the line on interest rates for the rest of the year. So
we'll see Katie good good. That'll be great. All right, Thanks Jeff
for the good news. Appreciate it. Yeah, all right, I have
a good day. Yeah, there you go, Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News.
All right, apparently what is this? All right? So I alright,
So I went and I educated. I wanted to revisit because I just
remembered that the the End of Times was supposed to be yesterday, and I
actually there was more to it. It wasn't just hey, we're kicking this
thing off, get ready to rapture, but also yesterday it was supposed to
bring about the the reveal of planet x Naburu, and it would have immediately
started setting off volcanoes, like it would really suck right now everywhere. But
I don't, I don't. I don't think that end Times prophecy held,
although I did see somebody under it going, well, it's not, it's
not because April twenty third was the date and they're like, well it's not
April twenty fourth, everywhere, Yes it is. You not. I understand
that you have this base concept about the International Dateline and how it works,
but I assure you it is. It is April twenty fourth, now everywhere,
dude, and uh I don't well, hold on, let me let
me do this. Uh real quick, hey, Ross, you got rid
of the weather window there? All right? Is there a giant murder planet
coming for us? That you see? Yeah? Let me let me look.
I don't see one. Oh you sure? All right? All right?
No? Wait, hold on, let me oh is that No,
it's not it's a tree. No, that's okay. Oh what's that thing
in this? It's a bird? Oh damn it. That's a big bird
though. Yeah. Yeah, it's shooting fire. That's not like those aerobat
dogs murder dogs. Yeah, if you haven't seen, an Ohio based company
has produced they they've brought all the stuff you want to together, the the
murder dogs and flamethrowers and lasers, and it's amazing. And it's made in
America. Right, So that's I think that's really really really a unique feature.
Thank you. It is the companies in Ohio. So yeah, it's
made in a Maria. So if you want your murder robot concealed carry dog,
which I think, can you get a service vest for a murder flamethrower
hound. I mean people get service dog vest for all sorts of things that
aren't service dogs, so why should it be any different. Then I can
then I can have it on the plane in case I don't know, some
psychopaths starts screaming at me. And by the way, if the pilot still
listen, it looks like it might have been Delta just the way this.
I'm just gonna still here. But the seat covers have the colors, so
not yours today. I will say this, and I don't mean this in
a bad way. It's just because when that when that when when our caller
called in and say he's a pilot, like immediately I'm like, oh,
yeah, I know he's telling the truth because his delivery and cadence is straight up pilot
