All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is six oh seven.
It is Monday. I'm sure I feel about that, but it is
a Monday where we tricked your brain into thinking of getting an extra hour sleep
even though you're just gonna, you know, snap into the very same routine
and uh, it's gonna be pretty similar subconsciously. But hey, you know
what, whatever makes us feel better and then horrible again in April so awesome
over the weekend, do do do do? Do? You know? What
was weird is the stories over the weekend are kind of what I would have
expected over the weekend in Halloween weekend, which is some of the randomness of
the stories. But it's like everybody just took a week to get to it.
But we will. We'll let Florida shine as they do. It's an
interesting story up in Seattle with a Chinese national who is back in China,
and I saw people that were throwing out all sorts of ideas how to combat
this this particular issue, and for whatever reason, none of them really seemed
core focused on perhaps the I don't know, elected and or appointed bureaucratic individuals
who really dropped the ball on all of that, Like they went the FEDS
to solve this thing. It's just it's just a really weird story. And
for all of a few climate moon bats terrorizing your your children so that they
literally get anxiety issues because they think that the you know, the the world's
gonna end biblical apocalypse style prior to their graduation of college. Apparently researchers have
some well, I think that's some ideas for you. And for whatever reason,
Washington Post over the weekend decided to put it all together in a wonderful,
wonderful recommendation news story and not address the giant elephant in the room as
it pertains to their advice. And I just thought, well, why wouldn't
somebody, when you know, frankly, would give those with anxiety to the
point that they have to believe this Washington Post article just I just tip them
over the edge. And I'm just letting you know, I'm doing the show.
You ever woke up where you just have like one year you can't hear
anything out of So, yeah, that was it was actually yesterday. It's
it's quite a bit better today. But I thought it was weird. It's
always it's always interesting though when that happens. And then you get back doing
radio because you know, we wear headphones and it never sounds right when one
side's working, just the same as if you have a busted set of cans
and one side's not working. So uh just uh go along with me as
I attempt to normalize that up in my head because just so it sounds so
weird as a radio dude. All right, why we're going to start from
over the weekend. I you know a little bit of football. I'm not
going to get into all of it. Did you see what happened during the
Texans game yesterday? So I gotta tell you, man, it is kind
of impressive, kind of impressive. So the well, let's see where did
I put this? Here we go, so the Houston, look, they're
not a great team. I don't know. If we got a lot of
Texan fans listening to the show, that's okay. But they ran into a
little issue, and that issue was their their kicker got injured. And you
know, on an NFL, on an NFL roster, if your kicker gets
injured. I think the majority of teams, I'm trying to think if there's
teams that hold two kickers even anymore, they try not to. I guess
maybe there's a handful to do. But then they're you know, they're specialized
in what they do, although they've kind of negated what the I mean they
have. Don't get me wrong. They have punters and then they have kickers.
But occasionally you've had some where there's crossover on specialties for kickoff, Like
some teams have had punters that handle kickoff but then kickers who handle place kick
field goals. It's just pretty uncommon. But in this instance, Texans didn't
have any of that. They just had themselves an injured kicker man. And
so what do teams end up having to do? Well, they go for
two usually and then they go word on fourth or they punt, perhaps in
situations where they may not have punted, and and initially that's what Houston did,
but then it came down as the I guess, you know, the
game was actually somewhat competitive to where the Houston Texans needed a field goal.
And Derree I don't know if I pronounced his name correctly. I know I'm
gonna butcher his last name Deree Ogan Bowawa Bwaly, God help me. He
is a running back for the Texans and so after they came out at halftime,
he actually handled kickoff duty. It what the worst thing. But that's
not what's crazy, and that's not necessarily unheard of. Somebody's got to kick
it off most of the time they get the punter in there to do it,
but apparently dude, dude's got some kicking skills. No, what's crazy
is as you got down to the fourth quarter of the game, about eight
for about eight and a half minutes left, Tampa Bay and Houston are neck
and neck. They're tied thirty thirty and so they get down and they are
let's see here, I'm just trying to figure out what yardage or what the
yardage was, I mean it was. They're on the twenty five, so
thirty five thirty thirty seven yards, I'm sorry. Another on the twenty so
yeah, twenty So it's a twenty nine yarder. Actually he's a little ahead
of it there, all right, So he's twenty nine yards. They bring
the kicker in to go ahead, and get the go ahead and he makes
it. The running back kicked a field goal, about a thirty yard field
goal. But you're like, ah, that that doesn't sound like that much.
I don't know, man, you ever tried to kick that on the
consistent even at thirty yards, It's that's pretty darn impressive. So I don't
know. That was one of the cooler moments yesterday as we got into it.
The Vikings somehow find a way to win. But I mean, they're
playing in Atlanta, so what are you gonna do there? And the Dallas
Philly game was crazy. So although we don't have Ray to day because I
guess he's going to need a day to recover because Dallas didn't win, very
unfortunate, all right, Panthers. Thinking about the Panthers game, I mean,
look, it's dismal, but I don't know, I'm thinking that maybe
there's something there with the with the rookie QB. Problem is he just doesn't
have anybody to throw to. So we'll uh let that kind of stew out
in the uh in the midst of everything else. But when we come back,
we'll have to get we have to get into just a just a couple
of crazy things from over the weekend, including you know, here's the here's
the deal. If you're gonna go out and commit a quote unquote hate crime,
But it comes down to planning, all right, you gotta be organized,
you gotta gotta make sure you've you've done your research, perhaps gathered.
I mean when you're when you're gonna go out and do it alone. I
guess maybe you don't need to, uh have like the whole heist meeting,
but like, you know, maybe just google some stuff because uh it looks
like a woman may not have and then uh when went ahead knitter thing anyway,
so we'll we'll touch on all that. It's great audio. It is
six sixteen though, take a break, be right back, thank you.
Casey is on ninety four PTI and the Triad and one six one AFM talk
in the Triangle. Plus it's probably a union thing, right, you know,
if they just if he doesn't have to do any of the crap the
other opicers. Do you know the unions too? I'm saying like the new
RoboCup game. We streamed it on Saturday. It is so fun. It
is so funny. It's my favorite game of the year so far, because
does does he cease having you know, tenure when he's technically not that you
know, I don't know if it was anymore like it's fun walking around as
RoboCop and being like a bullet sponge and freeing hostages. But the the fun
stuff is like you're back at the precinct and they're like, hey, can
you pick up this drunk guy and bring him to the drunk tanker? Right?
Hey, can you can you help the complaints at the front desk because
we're getting over the front your dream. Yeah, oh my god, it's
fun to take walks funny complaints there. So yeah, I gotta you gotta
put in the time, never mind the science there. So all right,
right, just because you're like a cyborg doesn't mean you you you can't you
know, you don't have to do paperwork exactly. Man, although you would
think maybe, well he'd have some some digital you know, uh, superior
digital stuff built in, not just for like targeting and threats, you know,
recognition, but also for streamlining the paperwork process, right, so he
would think and it would just kind of like print out of his backside or
something like the paper will come out if it has to come out there,
I don't even know what do we need paper here? Do we got?
Well? I mean yeah, I mean because I mean technically it takes place
in the future, but it's the future of the eighties, So like,
I guess the paper printer would be like that old school kind we had that
would come off with the big holes that you'd have to the perforated perforated edges.
But oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ap wire used to come in
that way back in the day matrix printers. Yes, I mean feasibly because
if you look into the future of Back to the Future, remember that dude
was still getting fired by facts, right what I'm saying. So anyway,
it was thought facts was gonna be the thing and just so adorable. All
right, well, I'm glad you're uh glad your game was exciting. So
the it's ta gonna say the uh oh yeah, yeah yeah, the uh
the the list of dumb crap that like we just have in the stack from
over the weekend, and about three stories have stumbled across this morning, like
you might have been one of the few people to predict to pick a productive
activity over the weekend because we had we had a bad poor driving, we
had arguably this Florida story. I feel like I'm gonna have to come out
on this dude's side because how dumb would you have to be to think that
this is serious, and uh, they did, believe it or not,
decided they were going to charge some people for the little Durham obstruction thing.
But the craziest story And I did see this Friday, right after the show,
and then I saw a follow up this week, and that is what's
going on up in NYC? Man, have you seen the slime issue?
And I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you what's going on. I'm a little torn
because there's decidedly two camps here. There's the TMNT camp and there there's the
Ghostbusters camp. A teenage teenage mutant ninja turtles by the way, as it
comes down to analyzing what is happening in New York City, Ross, have
you seen anything about the green, fluorescent slime and ooze that is emerging from
manholes and sewers all across the rot I've seen documentaries about that in the eighties.
Have you have you stumbled down? I believe there's a series of three
movies. Yeah, the three three? Well, I mean, so which
one? And there was two? I guess there's been other ones. But
so you're on you're going Ghostbusters camp, I mean what we're going a different
direction. Well, so some of the So it's it's green liquid oozing for
manholes and sewers, which obviously yeah, right, so you can go tmn
T. Yeah, yeah, because if it was pink, if it was
pink slime, we wouldn't be happy in this discussion, right if it was
pink, because if you remember in the Ghostbusters movie, why was his name
Slimer? But yeah, you're right, yeah he is. And this is
what I'm saying. So that element is overlapping the nostalgic memory of the other
you know, other side of your brain or whatever where you're like you you
remember those cut scenes everywhere watching that stuff spew up out of the sewers because
people, you know, New Yorkers like to yell at each other or whatever,
and it gives them, gives them Oh my god. I was just
thinking, can you imagine that same substance that feeds on anger now right where
they're where they're having you know, uh, you know these you know Palestine,
Israel duke them out in the in the streets, you got the you
know people, if if it feeds on fear and anger, were doomed.
Yeah, thinks can you imagine just just around Columbia Columbia University would be sealed
like that museum. Uh, and I I don't I don't know that crossing
enough beams is gonna do anything about it. Man. Oh no. But
but to your point, and to the point I'm making, yes, I
mean, at first you want to go Ghostbusters, but then you're like,
ah, it's green and it's in the sewers, and then immediately you're whisked
away to teenage mutant ninja turtles. And uh, somehow, some way,
what should have been a fun top of people having fun debates over this that
in and of itself turned into some threads that frankly, would have fed the
you know, the pink goo. So man, that's just that's how we
do stuff. As to what exactly it is, other than people posting a
lot of videos, it's it's it's it's not radioactive, it's it's it's dye
out of you know, plumbers will use dye, fluorescent green dye to detect
leaks and plumbing and sewage systems, and the dye tracing is something that they
use within the New York system basically trying to figure out, okay, so
how does water move from one place to the other and yet it's Yeah,
you see it and you think anti freeze, radioaction, you know, radioactivity,
all of that, but apparently not so much. Yeah, and you
know as far although I haven't seen anything where the cities like, yeah,
that is what it is. I just saw a bunch of plumbers going,
hey, this is what it is. So maybe it is radioactive ooz.
Now, then the question becomes do you do you wait around in it and
hope for super stuff or the more likely scenario where you can't have kids and
you die. Earlier I was saying that there's a chance on door number one
though, So yeah, that's where we'll start it off. And we got
news next, so I hang on keeping you connected. This is ninety four
five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
I you know what, I'll bring it up. I'll bring it up here.
I don't know. If I'm still on the radio in Minnesota, it
would be worth my time to get into this. But so the Vikings played
the Falcons. So the Falcons are not that good, but the Vikings are
not that good. They're both five hundred teams, so they're going at it
yesterday and for those of you don't know the Minnesota Vikings. For my team,
they have suffered a significant amount of really important injuries, including Justin Jefferson,
who arguably was the best wide receiver in football last year. He's he's
been sitting for some time. And Kirk Cousins, who decided to do the
Achilles thing. He's his season's done. Right. So we go into the
game yesterday and we had we had signed a quarterback from Arizona, Josh Dobbs,
but we still had Jaron Hall, who was our quarterback that we took
from Utah. Right, so young guy only got a couple snaps or a
couple of series in the previous game, and because Dobbs had just come over,
they started Jaron Hall. And he didn't look bad at first. Again
you're playing against Atlanta, but something happened where he just he went he got
it in his head, and I understand, you got to have a win,
you know, you got to have a winning mindset where he's just like,
oh, this is easy. I got this. And the Vikings got
down to the red zone and it was, you know, a quarterback draw,
and you know when you do that and you get everybody out there.
It leaves an opportunity, depending on how the defense is playing, generally up
to the goal line. It leaves a lot of real estate visibly, you
know, visually in front of you. And you could see when it clicked
in Jaron Hall's head where he was going to scramble for yardage. And I
thought he was going to slide, and then I realized he wasn't because he
you know, watched I'm sure some other quarterback decide that, Well, what
you got to do when you get down you know where the defenders are,
is you just you just hurdle him like you're a You're a you're one of
those jump horses man. And the problem is he's not a big dude.
Whereas the defenders for Atlanta, the linebacker and looked like one of the cornerbacks.
They were just perched there on the goal line. So as as Jaren
Hall's like, ah, I'm gonna be the hero, he does the leap.
But it was one of the it was like one of those anti climactic,
you know, high school set Bulleen movies, right, We're just didn't
workout and he leaps into the air and one of the defenders decides that part
half of his body should go in one direction and then the other go in
the other direction. And it looked it hurt to watch, and immediately off
to the blue tent. Dude, The blue tent is never good. Oh
man, I dread the blue tent. And I just say what now.
Also, when you're Josh Allen size, you can leap p people what you're
Jaring Hole's size. Yeah, I mean when you let you and it's well,
and it's your first start, baby, you shouldn't start. Just just
take the yards just you know, all you gotta do is slide. We
would have been on the we would have got a first down. Yeah.
But the guy you put in, he did a great job, right well,
and that's where going. So Josh Dobbs, who did not he did
not take a single practice rep with his team because it took him that long,
that long to go and get him there. So he's got to go
in now. And what does he do? He comes in and he he
wins. The game looks looks pretty good now. Granted because they have no
tape of this dude in the Viking scheme, I don't know what we all
he was running, but man, it worked, it worked, and while
it's working, are running back cam Akers. He goes down and now they're
saying Achilles there plus Osborne, who's our number two receiver. He goes down,
off to the blue tent. It has to be man. Actually,
one step forward, three steps back. They're playing in Atlanta, right,
So what do they have turf down Atlanta? Imagine they do. I'm a
machine turf field they have to get rid of that. Can't stand it.
You just not everything's turf, though. I mean you just you, I
know how you feel about turf, but I don't. I don't know if
everything's turf. The Osbourne injury really didn't look like it. He just he
just came down on one of the one of those instances where they came down
on his I was legging his side. It just looked bad. Last night,
it was the first night in years where I didn't think about the Bills
game. I didn't check this score because you know, typically if they're playing
a Sunday night game or an evening game, I'm checking Twitter, and I'm
checking it every ten seconds, and I'm full of anxiety, and I'm like,
oh, I feel like I'm gonna die, and my heart is going
like a thousand miles per minute and I can't sleep and I'd be exhausted.
The next day, we watched the latest Spider Man movie, which I hadn't
seen with Jake Gillenhall, went to bed. I woke up for the gym
at two thirty check this score, where I said, huh, that sucks,
and have went on with my day. I think it's because I've come
to the conclusion and this was like two weeks ago. You math this up
I did. I'm like, we'll be lucky if we get a wild card
and am fine with that, Like I think because the pressure is off right,
Like it's not as stressful. I guess maybe I'd rather have your division
right because nobody in the NFC North wants it. You know what I'm saying.
They don't want it Green I know Green Bay won yesterday and obviously one
pretty convincingly, but you know I didn't last week. They didn't really want
it. I will, I will say the Bears. The Bears are what
third to last? And who knows what's going on with Detroit. Man.
I don't know how Viking's Twitter is. I don't keep up with it,
but I do know that Bill's Twitter. When I was at the gym,
I'm just like, you know, allusion between you know sets, I'm checking
out the ex or Twitter, and I'm looking for news stories, see what
happened on the overnight, and like just insufferable, like end of the world,
end times, how we're gonna move, We need to fire everybody,
And I'm just like, y'all need to chill. Well, it's also your
guys are stick too, right, Yeah, I don't remember it being this
bad. Well that's because they can you imagine if that what do you think
it would have looked like? Four fourth loss super Bowl loss? Well,
that's what I'm saying social media, No, because I have perspective, right,
so, like it's been a lot worse, like the four in a
row sucked. But I think the thing is like a lot of these people
that are on Twitter or x whatever there, they weren't born then, they
didn't experience it, didn't live through because we're old, right Yeah, but
no, no, no, But here's my question. Do you think your
your coach who was who is a who was a living guy? He's still
living right, a living from that? Yeah? Yeah, so you just
turned a hundred or something, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And
I remember they brought him out for the playoff game too, and he's they
put him on the mic very spry. Do you think arguably more stride than
our president. Do you think that he would have lasted if if there had
been Probably not Twitter to the extent pry not. But I wonder about this
stuff. You know how it is like, you know, the world didn't
start. The history doesn't start until you're born, right, So it's like
a lot of people are like, they didn't go through the four Super Bowl
losses, so they're like, dah, it's the worst area fire, but
he had. I'm maybe I'm just in a good mood today. I don't
know, I'm in a great mood. And I'm a says I don't care.
I just still care. I was surprised this morning. I thought you're
gonna be a little Markie. I always send a text message to Markey,
I said I after the gym, I'm like, man, I feel great
today, feeling a great mood. And she said, oh, the Bills
win. I said, no, they lost, and she said, you're
a great mood, Like, yeah, I just don't care. Well there's
she said, well did they at least they tried their best, right,
And I said, I don't know about that. He was she a preschool
teacher. I like, I don't know. Some kid got two blocks into
the thing and then pooped him stuff. Well, you tried your best.
Good for you, but there is a problem still. If I could,
you know, just pile on this party and that is less end of world
even, Look, it should be end times based on those injuries, right
and every other injury. Yeah, I guess we had more injuries too,
which I'm not even no no, I was talking about talking about us and
you and everybody had injuries. But instead it was Vikings Twitter deciding that Dobbs
is Jesus, you know, or christ like because he had one good game
and we can't call him just Dobbs anymore because they've decided his nickname is Dobby.
Don't give him a soak, dude, don't do not give him a
saka. Leave. That's great. I think you need to embrace that.
Great. This is great. That's look like the Chiefs have embraced Taylor Swift
and they've brought that to their games and their arenas, and it's pumped out
their players and the ratings and revenue and stuff, and you need to embrace
the Harry Potter fandom. I'm not a Viking's nation. Does that? Does
that make a quarterback sound badass? I would argue that it doesn't. There
isn't a single person there is a fan of Harry Potter. Didn't cry when
no spoiler what happens happens. I don't even know what that beads. I
can't believe they buried him on a beach though, in that kind of sand.
It's dumb to bury a body in like beach sand, right, Like
we learned that from usual suspects by the Yeah, well that was that was
a cave. It was, but the seagulls peck and Dobby in like ten
seconds. Okay, what we don't we need? These are things you need
to learn though. Now I love nicknames in the NFL. Right, give
me some pork chop, give me the refrigerator, Okay, a train back
in the day, Mike Alstott, Uh, so many, so many great
Dobby? No, No, isn't Dobby a slave? Tobby is a free
elf? But is no? Because that's the whole sock thing. I'm confused.
Didn't the side that was the thing? Intently? He he is the
house elf of the Malfoys. Harry Potter at the end of the Chamber and
recreates the second movie, sneaks Dobby a sock in Tom Riddle's diary and uh,
it's given right, and then he frees Dobby, and then Dobby a
costs. Uh, mister Malfoy at the end of this is common Now,
this is stuff you need to right. This is your quarterback. Now you
need to study up. Man. I don't know for I encourage Dobby nation
like domination. Oh my god, dude, Naja Davenport had a better nickname
than Dobby. Okay, do you remember you remember what Davenports was, Dookie?
His nickname was Dookie. I don't need a Dobby, Uh, you
know, uh taking stabs from a team. So I'm fine with Dobbs,
will hold on to him. But we gotta we gotta do something. I
gotta get this man a nickname that that strikes fear into your enemies. Nobody's
Stratten's fear struck into him by a Dobby. And and you know, to
your point is you let these Harry Potter people get all up in your football.
That's just I don't like that, right, I want. I look,
I'm gonna sign you up. I'm gonna create a Potter More account for
you so we can figure out what house is that? Even Dobby Nation,
man, I don't like, what what next? Man? Kind of Uh,
you know you're gonna start You're gonna start throwing other Harry Potter related nicknames
onto our players. You can't know, don't do that. Okay? A
right, Like, our center is not Hagrid or whatever. Okay, Hagrid
would be great as a center. He said he's a half giant dude.
Well you can get pass that guy. Yeah. I would say he brings
Chris Trees into Hogwarts. He just drags them over his shoulder, like two
at a time. I got to think the league would figure out a way
where he's not allowed to be a night Listen. I'm so excited that you're
gonna be embracing the fandom. I'm not embracing nothing. I'm sitting there and
I'm like, okay, I'm gonna bout you a hufflepuff scarf? Does it
do any Does it have some magic? But it makes this not like looks
good and people know that you're loyal. That's what I mean. Wait a
sec here's what I need actually, because I remember something from one of the
movies. Can't you time travel with like a unicorn or something or what the
hell it is? Or it was a time turner? Okay, well can
I have that? And then we'll it was Prisoner of Azkaban. This is
once again common knowledge. And at the end of it, Dumbledore actually puts
that back in the ministry and they make it nobody can ever use that again.
The reason for that was because JK. Rowling created this thing and then
looking back at her care creations, said oh my god, I made something
horrible that can just destroy everything that I've already written. So I'm going to
shelve that and act like it never happened. Can I use it one more
time? Though? You can't tip in the ministry man. Also, our
offensive coordinator needs to go to what's the prison Azkaban. I'm not embracing it
for everything else, but I am throwing key members of our coaching staff in
there. So I'm just excited for you. Sure, sure, you're great.
What is this Boston Paul my Redskins beat my Patriots? Of course,
yes, absolutely, because you know that's what you do. You have multiple
teams. You can always claim that you won this weekend. All right,
six forty eight, I am, I don't know. I'm gonna talk to
some peeps back in Minnesota radio and see if I can encourage them to fight
the good fight and come up with I don't know anything that's not going to
bring a bunch of Harry Potter people in scarves to Vikings games. All Right,
sixty nine and CaCO Day Radio program. Hang up, this is one
O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talking ninety four w PTI
and the Triad. Oh, good morning, six fifty five kc O Day
Radio program. Yeah, how would you like it? So, John,
I've just decided Josh Allen's your nickname is Voldie? So, uh do you
feel good about that? Do you like having Harry Potter attached to your Uh?
What's that? I didn't hear. I didn't hear the name. I
don't know who that is. Josh Voldy Allen Short. It'd be awesome,
dude, Really would that be awesome? Yeah? Dude, I'd be all
about it. You'd be all about it, because I don't I don't know
if anybody calls him, I don't know gonna be calls him BOLDI though I
just started. I didn't know they called Josh Dobbs Dobby just just dump dobbye
nation. Oh wait, hold on, hold, of course we get the
one science start this morning. So I mentioned up in New York they have
like green goo coming through and people have to decide whether they want to make
jokes about ninja turtles or Ghostbusters. And then so I just get this email.
So the whole radiation glowing green is actually a myth. It's more of
a bluish or red glow blah blah blah blah blah. But depending on the
element for your fun, sir ah, you are you sound awesome at parties?
It's green glowy green stuff. Because we're talking about I want you to
I want to remind you at the end of the day, we're talking about
ninja turtles and Ghostbusters. So we're not striving for accuracy here, right,
So are we getting the turtles? And if we do, right, I
need to know which reporter are we going to be getting the old one?
Are we getting the new the new one? Modern audience updated for modern audience
one. It just seems a little angry. Yeah, that is a good
point. Well, it's uh, you know, we I saw somebody arguing
that we don't know what April O'Ryan looks like. So April Orian is that
the name? Yeah, because I thought it was April O'Neill. But O'Neill
excuse me, excuse me. It was the O part that was important for
that. Yes, uh, yes, but but we're told we don't know
what that person might look like. The o neil who's uh, I don't
know. I thought it's been pretty consistent with like one exception that she was
a ginger, right, kind of the whole point. Yeah, it was.
Yeah, so you couple ginger with the last name that's got o apostrophe
in it, and we you know, I think we can best guess this
past Halloween season. I just realized that the actress that played April O'Neill in
the original Ninja Turtle movies is the same woman that plays the mom in Halloween
Town. And I think maybe have you ever seen Halloween Town or were you
like passing? No, I don't know what that is. Yeah, it's
a thing that came out in the late nineties. It was a series of
three of them, and it had like Debbie Reynolds and and a bunch of
it was like a Disney thing, and Lincoln was addicted to watch it.
We watched them like a thousand times and I'm like, dude, that is
that's April O'Neil. So good for her. Yeah, good for good for
Okay, all right, I'm glad that worked out. I'm glad you're having
such a good mood about what Bolding the Boys did. All right, good
morning everybody. You're a welcome. It is seven o six here on the
Acoda Radio program where I am so tough. I'm gonna do this tire show
with one ear. Yeah, I did that thing where I well, it
was yesterday morning. I woke up and like, I'm just like, can
I only hear a motto? Now? What's going on? And I don't
want to get all super gross with you, but when you do radio and
do you constantly have headphones on, you got to make sure that you take
very good care of cleaning your ears and all of that, and because if
not, that's a problem. And so you know, I generally keep stuff
from hydrogen peroxides, great good stuff. Don't use it straight actually, you
know, figure out how to use it. I don't want to get sued
here, but I didn't have any and so I'm like, I did the
thing where I'll just work it out, and you know how, you just
make it worse. So that's my cross to bear, probably for another twenty
four hours. So we're loving that. Then, somehow in our little football
discussion, I'm now getting I'm not getting emails from the Harry Potter faithful because
I just mentioned that the Vikings new quarterback his nickname is Dobby and I'm not
down with that. For a big, tough football player, you need something
better. But now people are like, listen to this R. I don't
know, you should probably rethink this because what you consider the game, you
know, the athleticism of the game played in Harry Potter, It's much faster
and uh, you know, much more potentially deadly. Man, Really,
is that a good point about a game that's fake? Right? You think
is dangerous? Right? Imagine falling? I got a thousand stories down while
being chased and frozen by the mentors. I mean, you're going into the
blue ten after that. I feel like, I you know, if you
now hold on here, now, if you wanted to allow demntors, if
we're going to go and you want to go down that route like yeah,
I mean real, let's make this game. Uh yeah, let's add it.
Let's add a little twist of things, because look, this is not
our years. So I'm will into whatever experiments you want to do, go
for it, but not that man, Quidouche. Really you're gonna get some
quick are we gonna have in our time? We're gonna have like a big
crossover athlete like you know Bo Jackson back in the day. This guys to
sport too, sport athlete. What's you do NFL and quadouche? So I
don't know, maybe, but we'll just let it play out, see how
it see how it goes there. I'll tell you what. At least we're
not thong gate, Russ. Do you know what? You know what thong
gate is? Right? This is never heard of it, Dude, you
didn't see thong gate, no idea. Oh my gosh. This is one
of those things where it's like, I'm just glad it's not me. So
the Cowboys Philly game, crazy, It was a great game, man.
I watched that. That's I watched the whole thing, great game, and
I watched it with Philly fans and Dallas fans and then just let him feast
on each other. But no matter how a wishbag and nicknamed my quarterback has,
at least it ain't thong Gate. I just texted you the requisite video
feast your eyes on thong Gate man. So there was a play where Sweat,
one of the Philly players is comes but he kind of he kind of
backs up and behind him is one of their staffers. And you know,
you know how those plays end up right on the sideline. You get players
running into the indie world that you know, the guy's not playing or standing.
They do their best, but one of the staffers there just didn't see
it coming because he's standing behind the Sweat, who's a giant, you know,
a giant lineman. When the when the play ads up in there,
it knocks this dude over and he has to quit. It doesn't doesn't hurt
him or anything, but he has to quickly get up. And he's wearing
he's wearing, uh like Nike training pants and you know, a long sleeve
pullover, but he's also wearing something else. That dude is wearing a frilly
lacy red thong. Yes, no judgement and no judgment rights about whale tail.
What's happened? None of my business. Well it is because it's on
TV. It's it's so the red pops so much against the black. Do
you know what I mean? He gets up, he's got nineties late nineties
whale tail going on now. So my question is does he wear that because
it's comfortable or is it some like he lost a bet you know what I'm
saying, right, or is that some punishment that like the coach is handing
out, Like ah, you know all those plays you called last week,
they didn't wear. So you tell you figure it out. You're gonna You're
gonna wear women's underwear? Is it like a bull Durham thing. I mean,
he's not a player, but you know, superstition runneth over. But
yeah, yeah, So you know, if I got a feel as though
people are attacking the machionis of my team. At least my staffers aren't running
around in lacy red thongs. But here's the other side of that. If
I could for just a moment, Eagles are what eight in one, they
get the best record in the NFL. What if? What if this is
the secret to their success? Right? What if all of them are wearing
lacey red thongs under there and that's what's doing it because you know how suspicious
athletes can be. Maybe that's the key to success. So no, no,
I saw the debates around. He's wearing it because that's what he likes
to wear. None of our business. Or it's some sort of hazing slash
punishment slash superstition thing, or he you know, lost a bet or something,
right, I don't know. I'm just glad they're not having that debate
over my team, all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. Or is does he he spend his off time as a officer
of the Booty Patrol. If you don't know what the booty Patrol is,
Oh, that was a weird one. The So the Booty Patrol is our
floridamand story of the day. In fact, now that I think about it,
if we're gonna do a Florida Man story, let's uh, let's do
it correctly. Florida Man, Florida Man. Do something in the water,
the er or sand that makes you do all that crazy craft that's like the
state is one to be done that trap. Nowhere else has the Florida man.
It is almost like as the Weird Factor climbs to find out it haven't
in Florida every time. Florida then Florida man. If anyone can Jeremy have
you know, you can just find life be crazy. But of course,
but it's not as bad Crawdon crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna
find him. They're so used to it they don't mind him. Hooray for
Florida man. So last week and then the end of the weekend, Sheriff's
in DeSoto County, the Sheriff's office there was actually on social media warning the
public that somebody was impersonating law enforcement, and in fact they were able to
actually catch up to the dude. I don't know, you have to be
honest with you, because, like I've seen some videos, some crazy videos,
people are in fact imitating law enforcement. In fact, Florida, there's
a dude down there who was arrested like a bunch and there was all these
videos of him, including him trying to like pull over or stop an off
duty actual detective with one of the departments down there, and like he was
he was cosplaying hard, like he had he was running a funeral. You
know, one of these companies, you know, you don't you can you
can get security companies that are non law enforcement to do funeral processions in a
lot of states, and they actually do have there's the processions have certain right
of ways that you normally wouldn't have, and it's up to these companies to
really handle the logistics of it so the family can grieve and do everything that
they're doing. So I'm not getting on companies that do that, but this
guy was taking it to the next level. He was he's crazy and I
can't remember his name right now, but there's a whole series of stories.
Plus, uh, you know, randomly you'll see somebody who I don't know,
maybe they really want to be a police officer, and they get some
get some lights put on their vehicle and they just drive around and then they
you know, the big whoopsie is when they actually pull over a police officer.
However, in all those instances, they've done pretty much everything they can
to make their vehicle look like it's a it's a it's a cop vehicle.
This guy has a Chevy Silverado and to if to describe the paint job,
it looked a lot like, you know what it looked like. It looked
like one of the Border Patrol vehicles. It's got you know, it's white,
but it has the green decal down the side, and you've seen the
Border Patrol vehicles, except it doesn't have badging or logoing that says Border Patrol.
It's obvious that they they borrowed that look because on the vehicle, in
like nine different places is where it would normally say Border Patrol, it says
Booty Patrol. Again it says booty Patrol. Obviously a play on it.
But I feel like if I looked at this, even if I for like
a half second, I thought, why is there a customs agent? Oh,
booty Patrol. That's a dude who thinks he's clever. You know it's
it's it's like a slightly less gaudy version of that truck from the uh Kill
Bill movies. But according to police not in addition to being marked multiple times
with Booty Patrol, uh, it also had some some lighting system which I
believe included either red or blue, which is that's technically how you get yourself
in trouble. If you're gonna put lights that you can put certain lights on
there, But in most states, the color of the lights and sometimes where
the lights are mounted is is where you've gone wrong. But I guess my
question is do the residents of DeSoto County when they look at a truck that
says Booty Patrol on it, do they really think that they're dealing with law
enforcement? Do they think it's like some special division of law enforcement in Florida?
Like is it a tourist going, oh, you're down of Florida.
Do you know with all the beaches they have booty patrols. No, nobody's
looking at that thinking that that's you know, that's somebody with arrest powers.
That's a dude I don't even know. They said they sighted the driver,
and it doesn't look like they released the name. That's a dude who never
grew up and thinks that's funny, and it is kind of funny, but
and and took it to that next juvenile level to impress his buddies. Right,
that's like there is no booty patrol. Well, if there was,
I have to feel like everyone and their mother went on that thing. But
in the same way that Ross is not a female body inspector. I don't
care what the shirt says the Booty Patrol is not legitimate law enforcement, and
the fact that you have to go and issue a warning to the public and
then eventually catch up with them strikes me as a little sad. So but
hey, man, it's Florida, so I guess I wouldn't put it past
him. Yes, Michelle, what's up? Hey Dobby, I think that's
a great name. But honestly, I think you, miss I think you.
I mean Josh Dobbs was doing a decent job and put the airs on
the cargos before he came to Minnesota. I think you've got a decent replacement
for Kurts. Oh no, no, you noticed my beef wasn't with Dobbs.
I thought he for a guy who'd never snapped to gonna snap under the
Viking system even in practice, to come in there and with a pretty banged
up team, and I'm I have I'm withholding judgment. I am purely commenting
on the nickname, Michelle. I do, but I mean, here last
week, you were not that impressed that they got Joshua Josh Dobbs. I'm
just saying I think you. No, You're right, I'm happy. What
am I gonna do about why Sean. He's the smallest guy in the NFL,
and I don't think his armist that talent is he's accurate. But and
he's gonna get cuted. I'm just everything away. Yeah, well, and
and here's what I would say, Yes, I'm with you. I think
it's it's really tough for a for a rookie quarterback to come in, especially
when he doesn't really have targets. I know he's got feeling. I understand
that, but ultimately it's not a very balanced offense, so it's a lot
easier to predict and and to fluster a rookie. But I don't know.
I think that he looks like he's got some fundamentals there. It's just a
shame that it's such a thinned out other part of the offense that he has
to learn on. And you're right, that's what leads to injuring a lot
of instances because the folks think that's what that's why our Vikings rookie got himself
injured because he thought he had to do it all himself and he got spun
around like a top. So well, and your todd ends coming along too.
I did watch the game with Minnesota yesterday and I was very thankful.
But at least you did beat the falcons for well, we're here for you.
Yeah, the the five hundred going into the Falcons. All right,
well, thank you very much for the for the call there. Okay,
all right, yep. People are sending me all sorts of stupid stuff.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This sounds like, this sounds like something
some college guy thought was funny and then had d held on a truck.
It's just much more extensive, much more extensive than what they're doing. But
he's sending me emails. Oh okay, oh look at that. So is
this the same one? That's got to be a different one here? Oh
yeah, people are saying, So, somebody just send me a picture of
another car with a Booty Patrol logoing, and this one looks like police.
See. The reason it's funny is because that guy went for the border patrol
truck look with the color scheme, and then went Booty Patrol to complete the
pun. If you put it on a black and white squad looking car,
it doesn't have the same pop. That's all I'm saying. But what are
you gonna do? All right? It is Uh, that's great, Thank
you for Thank you for that. Computator seven twenty three KO Day Radio Program
phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. We will
be back here in just a few minutes. And when we do, we
got to get into this. Uh. I guess a great audio. We're
gonna start burning through it. And some video game news and movie news to
share with you. Hang on one six one FM Talk and N four F
w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is Cacoday and
Carolina is Morning News. All right, welcome back. It is seven thirty
six now KCO Day Radio program. I gotta tell you there were a few
stories over the weekend. The parody was the was the the word of the
day, all right, Uh, And then there was obvious parody. And
then there were other stories I'm reading where I'm like, this has to be
this has to be like the onion or the pamelon. There's no way.
And yet, sadly no, they're real. And I'll tell you the craziest
one is what was going on over in a small town in Germany. What
is the name of this town? Hoot tiangerhoot, don't know, but parents
and a specific group of parents, as we'll come to find out, were
demanding that local officials consider renaming a daycare center. Now, the daycare centers,
like the schools, are under governmental control right their governmental entities, So
technically, this particular daycare center, which had been around since nineteen seventy,
carried a name that was leaving some New German parents in an awkward situation,
and it was making them uncomfortable, and it was triggering, and it was
making their kids on comfortable and it was triggering. And so they took their
concerns to elected officials, and for some reason, the powers that be decided
that nope, they're absolutely right, and we're going to rename this. Now
here are the details of why this is causing such outrage. The daycare center,
known as the Anne Frank Daycare Center again, has carried the name since
its establishment in nineteen seventy. The name recently met opposition from groups of migrant
parents who say they found it difficult to explain the significance of Anne Frank to
their children. So, according to city officials, it will undergo a name
change, instead being changed to what do they want to call it? Something?
The Explorers, something, Hey, hold on. They want to call
it like the World Explorers Daycare or something. The idea of changing the name
from Frank came from a group of migrant parents, according to the daycare center's
director. They reported the parents with migrant backgrounds feel uncertain about the name and
find it challenging to explain to their children. City officials said that they remain
steadfast in their decision to change the name. According to report, the renaming
is part of a broader concept that aims to celebrate the diversity of the children
attending the daycare center that according to the city's mayor and ultimately the mayor,
Andres Brome, said that parents and employees wanted a name that was more child
friendly and better suited to their concept. Their needs are more important than the
global political situation. Yeah, they want to call it World Explorer's Daycare.
Dude, this is so dumb and uh, yeah, they're gonna go ahead
and do it. The one line in here, I'm sorry, how are
you? How are you not able to explain the concept of Anne Frank.
I want to say that a Frank and and all of that was introduced pretty
early in my schooling. I'm not sure exactly what the age was. I
remember it was eighth greade for me, it's mismagic great for me, it
was yeah, in New York it was an eighth greate mismagic English clash.
And then we watched Schindler's List. We had to have, you know,
para rental signature saying we could watch it because of the subject nature. But
yeah, we know what, Yeah, you know what. Now that I
think about it, I don't know if that's the first time I had really
heard about it, because I remember I remember the first or some activity where
we were asked to write. It was a right, it was a creative
writing thing, right, we were asked to write from our own perspective like
that, And we read the book and maybe it was eighth grade, maybe
it was in there. But then I remember the Schindler's List thing. Yeah,
with the parental permission, so a little later than daycare. But come
on, man, can you not read the room right now? And you're
in Germany, you should probably just sit this one out. And I understand
that technically, and Frank didn't live in Germany, right, hence the reason
the Anne Frank House is actually in the Netherlands. But there's some connections there.
But nah, this is this is your game plan. Yeah, and
Frank is no longer aligned with the new focus on diversity. Okay, all
right, do your thing. So that was that was story number one.
There story number two from a pure irony standpoint. So I don't know if
you saw this woman who, according to officials, set out to do herself
a little hate crime, but probably should have also done a little more research.
This is in Indianapolis over the weekend, where officers arrested a woman who
they labeled a terrorist after she decided that she was going to go ahead and
make a statement. Her statement was to drive her vehicle into a building that
was sporting a star of David. She thought it was a Jewish school,
and she was kind of mostly wrong, according to police. They were called
to the building around eleven thirty Friday night to investigate quote a hate crime.
According to police, the woman identified as Ruba al Alamgee, who is Muslim,
rested after she saw the school, saw the logoing or saw the logoing
on the building, assumed it was a Jewish school and drove her vehicle right
into it and by the way, backed her car into it. Several adults
and children were inside. Actually what had happened. It was later, It
was earlier than eleven thirty eleven thirties when police arrived. According to police,
the woman passed by passed by the building a couple times, calling it in
Israeli school. She made reference to her people back in Palestine, told officers,
yes, I did do it on purpose, because she, of course,
you know, had to film her little diatribe prior to doing it.
Unfortunately, though, it is a school, and it's actually called the Israelites
School of Universal and Practical Knowledge, and is in fact a school for the
black Hebrew Israelites. And if you don't know these cats, basically their thing
is they're the real Jewish people. And then the who we consider the Jews
now are not the real Jewish people. They're also they were also one of
the groups on the mall during all of the all of the insane They were
the ones that were actually taunting the students initially when we had the Native American
elder run in right with the kids from Kentucky, Nichols Salmon. Yeah,
Nicholas Salmon's story. But the other group was the Hebrew Israelites. And these
cats are out of their gourd man, if you've ever had the opportunity.
So she didn't do her research, slammed her vehicle into a building but wasn't
actually a Jewish school in the traditional sense. But back the black Hebrew Israeli.
I have a question, if you're Nott in Yahoo, do you just
like, maybe for a moment you're like, nah, you guys are totally
right. No, absolutely fat Why don't you don't you guys come over here?
Man, you would not leave what they're saying about you were in gaza
and then just you know, let them handle it for a few minutes.
So not only so, the thing is she set out to do a hate
crime, didn't do her research, and then just screwed the pooch on the
whole thing, is what law enforcement is saying. According to the report,
Alga Menneth, interviewed by detectives, admitted to committing the hate crime during her
courtesy phone call with a family member. Oh that was the other part of
it. Yeah, they took it to took it to jail, gave her
a phone call and she called a family member, not a lawyer. So
that's admissible as well. FBI says they're involving themselves in the incident, all
right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Jeffino for
the Weather Channel. He's here, hopefully it's just one day. I don't
know, Man, raised feeling today. Nick, He'll recover, he always
does, and he scheduled to be back tomorrow. I mean, losing the
Eagles, I mean, that's set extra dagger in the heart for Cowboys guys.
Man, it is, it is. It's any any of those NFC
East games. You don't want to lose any of those. But I'm sorry
what I did, what we do. I'm a Vikings fan, so sorry
what we did to Atlanta. So oh, no apologies needed. Okay,
it's well deserved. It's neither of our years. It's okay. But you
know, we can look on the bright side. We got some decent weather
this week, man, Yeah, yeah, it's today. We're going to
start out warm, we are going to get warmer, and we're going to
be talking about possibly a record by Wednesday. Seventy three is where we're headed
today with sunshine, mid sixties is where we are supposed to be. The
average low is low forties. We won't see that tonight either. We're looking
at clear skies and forty nine for the overnight low tomorrow mostly sunny, up
to eighty for the high now for Wednesday, with sunshine. If we get
up to a round eighty. If we hit that mark, we will tie
the record that will set way back in nineteen eighty six. Will cool it
down some and bring in maybe some possibilities for some rain in the latter part
of the work week, but going to stay very warm and sunny until then.
Okay, all right, well, look I appreciate it, and we'll
chat one more time. Okay, sir, let's do it. All right,
all right, there you go. Jeff Eno from the Weather Channel.
I mentioned parodying it kind of being part of a whole lot of stories.
So the I guess would be the Israeli version of SNL. What is the
name of this? A wonderful country? Not familiar, But they did do
a skid over the weekend parrotying American college students, and I would be remiss
not sharing it with you. So we'll get into that much more coming up.
Cac O Day Radio program per Day Smarter one O six one FM Talk
and News Talk ninety four five WPTI more with casey starts now. So over
the weekend on I guess what is the Israeli version of SNL they decided to
do a parody of in this case at Columbia University as two of the actors
and it is in English. By the way, we'll tweet it out for
you. Two of the actors are you know, your standard blue haired activist
college students, and they're standing there and they have their Queers for Palestine banner,
and you know, they're doing this whole thing while they're explaining, basically
repeating many of the things that we have seen espoused on college campuses. And
I'm not going to play the whole thing for you. It's kind of funny
for the in the first part, they're not breaking new ground. Where this
thing gets really good, though, is they go to their guest. You
know, they're running it like a talk show, if you will, and
the guest is a a mos terror and these two woke college students are interviewing
this terrorist and I'm telling you nothing gets them down. Let's let's take a
listen to this. You want to say hello to our bff, best to
feeding fighter in Gaza, And by the way, listen to the the I'm
assuming he's a male listening. Listen and by the way, the blue haired
dude's name is Wordle. But listen when he says what his major is,
because that's one of my favorite parts here. All right, So they're interviewing
the hamas freedom fighter. There bff, let's do this Al salam and then
chla Allah will kill you all infidels. Thank you so much for joining us.
I love the head fast. They all oppression hik very dread. Mister
Fatah, how are you? Are you safe? Oh? Yes, I'm
safe. I'm in a tunnel under the Gaza hospital above me. I have
a law and two million civilians protecting me. Community is so important these days.
You need like humanitarian aid, food, fuel, medicine. It's okay.
I have everything. I'm only hungry for rockets as land as it's organic.
I can be here with you. You can. You can come to
Gaza any time and we will throw you from the roof your homosexual alders.
You're here, We want to throw me a rooftop, are you. They
are so welcoming and inclusive, so shokrun and you are also very welcome to
come here to America and we will come first we finished with Israel, and
America is next. Great, So I guess we'll see you soon. Yes,
it would be a blast. Yah wait, it'll be so multicultural.
Yeah. Allah, you are so stupid. Thank you so much about we
love you. I won't even bother killing you. It's a waste of bullets.
Go advise only that. And I'm sorry, I thought it was gonna
be in there. So it's just just before they go to him, the
wordle the blue haired dude uh starts talking about why he's the right person to,
you know, do inform and past judgment on this because quote he made
I major in queer postcolonial astrology, which sounds like a hell of a major.
But check the full video out. We'll get that tweeted out for you
at Casey on the radio. All right, let me flip over this.
Oh there we go, all right. Washington Post over the weekend decided to
do a piece to help folks who are dealing with a lot of anxiety climate
anxiety specifically which is now its own thing. And so they bring in this
this doctor name is Emily Willow to write a guest piece there for Washington Post.
So what exactly can you do if you're dealing with climate anxiety, and
it's sapping your ability to you know, take care of the day to day
relationships with family, work stuff, just the general motivation you might want to
get through the game of life well. According to The Washington Post, hallucinogenics
would be the way to go. According to doctor Willow, psychedelic therapy can
help with climate anxiety according to exciting new research, which they say is unlike
any other issue in psychiatry because the feelings extend beyond our own personal narrative.
I love how they're going. Yeah, it's an actual diagnosable thing now,
but it's not a selfish diagnosable thing, because your anxiety is not born from
your own your own hopes and want of personal safety, but rather all of
the empathy that you have for everybody else. So you know, not only
are you literally clinically be diagnosed, you're also a very, very sympathetic and
empathetic person. So you're a good person. So that's the first point she
wants to make. Secondly, the way that you deal with this is magic,
mushrooms, perhaps ketamine and or LSD. I have a question not to
add to the burden of the climate anxiety, folks, But some of the
stuff on here is going to require a lot of fossil fuels to get from
point A to point B, because I don't know if you if you know
this when it comes to drugs, a lot of drugs require a lot of
energy to ship, not to mention produce to go ahead and you know,
get from you know, producer to user, whether it's fentanyl from China,
poppy is and eventually heroin and other few other drugs that come all the way
from Afghanistan. Of course Bolivian marching powder, although I guess that doesn't necessarily
apply here. But how in your climate anxiety and you're seeking help now from
medical professionals, how have you sweared that in your brain that the only thing
that can apparently cure you is to micro does throughout the day, except it
had to be imported from South America because there's not enough of the high walk
whatever the thing is Aaron Rodgers takes. But yet, now, if you're
too worried about the climate, just start tripping, all right, Good morning
everybody, and welcome. It is our number three here on the CaCO Day
Radio program, phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four.
I was talking about, you know, drugs there in the last segment,
specifically where you have medical professionals while telling people who are dealing with climate
anxiety that what they need to do is they need to take hallucinogenics, which
I guess maybe that will stop you worrying for a little while. What if
though, your trip and your hallucination and then anything that follows is is born
from the anxiety, and so now you have like a really the shadow people
are coming to kill me trip, like Ross's roommate. Yeah, I've mentioned
that before the pass. Yeah, yeah, there in Salt Lake City was
experimenting and he was just in the couch freaking out, screaming about the shadow
people and for twelve hours immediately sought medical help, right, I mean I
watched him. I made sure he was okay, but yeah, nothing else,
So you didn't do anything you're thinking about. My other buddy, Clay
Clay was another gentleman. Yes, having having a bad time, so he
went to a giant walk in closet in the apartment there in Cottonwood Heights and
Salt Lake and he went in there and he put a blanket over himself,
because once again he was not having a good time. Where I decided,
right and my shadow people, buddy, he was fine at this point,
and we decided the best way to treat Clay was to take off our giant
framed movie posters we had in the apartment and throw them violently at him.
Good. That worked, right, just a mess with him, you know
what I mean. Now they're coming for you, buddy. It was immediately.
So anyway, I don't know if this whole climate, I don't know
if it's a good idea. Well, I don't let me. Let me
break it down in a simpler sense. People imbibe substances as a coping mechanism
when they are feeling anxiety, depression, and a wide variety of afflictions.
This is a known thing, right, It's it cantic. Yeah, I
would say that, but like you said, it really depends on which substance
you're putting in your body, right, Because, like you said, this
is something where it's it's a lot of it. You know, it's in
your brain obviously, it's a subconscious and if you're having like a really stressful
bad time, it might not be the best time to do that. Well.
No, no, this is the point that I make because it'll come
to fruition in other things. Right, the one thing most mental health professionals
will tell you is not to deal with your mental health issues with by drugs.
You know, drugs and alcohol, right right, I thought that was
rule number one man, So especially this, Yes, yes, I'm one
hundred percent on this. I just I feel like this is the most one
hundred and eighty degree advice. Like you know, you're you're fearful. You're
one of these people that have completely bought into everything and you believe the world
is ending and it's the end times and there's no turning back, and you're
gonna take acid and then you're gonna you're gonna envision all like the elements coming
to kill you if you have fire wind, yeah, super tsunamism breaking in
your house as the caps. Yes, Like you wouldn't go to your doctor
like Doc I have been feeling I think I might be dealing with depression.
He's like, you know what, you should you should drink, right,
like other than doctor Campbell who was joking you should be drank and you should
just read Edgar Allen Poe that oh yeah, maybe maybe a little fear and
loathing. That's perfect. Yeah, oh you feel great, make you feel
better. But if you do want to turn to that, at least Elon
Musk will tell you how to make it. So some of there. So
I have to set the scene here, and this is kind of why I
was using to flip to this story. So over the weekend, Elon Musk
was a busy boy, and he was busy because they have now released their
own AI BoNT. So you got Microsoft with there is, you got Chat,
g GTP or gpteah, whatever you have. Google's got their own.
There's there's about four or five that are banging around out there. Well,
Elon Musk debuted Grok that's what they call it, which I don't like that
name because it sounds too much like gronk And I don't think you're getting intelligence,
artificial or otherwise out of that dude. But I bet he can plan
a fun party. I think he didn't. Didn't he used to do that
when he was playing. He had like a booty cruise or something. I
remember somebody telling me about that in radio up there said it was a big
promotion thing they did. But anyway, back to this, so he debuts
groc and he then posts a series of tweets outlining you know what Groc's all
about, and in one of them, he demonstrated asking Groc the AI how
to make cocaine and give me a step by step cocaine recipe. And what
you got was you got sarcasm, right, You had Groc, who,
rather than spitting out quote unquote a formula, instead gave a rather witty,
witty reply. And the point that Musk was making is that you know,
Groc's got a sense of humor, man, and you know, like,
don't you shouldn't make drugs and if you do, it was very generic,
and he trying to demonstrate that there's a bit of wit programmed into this.
Uh. In fact, here's the response, Oh sure, just a moment
while I pull up the recipe for homemade cocaine, you know, because I'm
totally gonna help with that, and then a bunch of other smarming answers so
that like, I don't and then I see people going elon Musk is telling
people how to make cocaine. I guess technically in reality, Grock was.
But I liked Ross. I did like your response to it, where you
looked at it and you're like, this is too complicated, so you already
gave up creating your own cocaine empire. Well, yeah, it was like
it was like fifteen steps, a lot of chemistry involved, and it seemed
like there would probably have to be a lot of subterfuge and preparation. You're
not making Listen here, I don't think you're going to be making the cocaine
in the Walmart bathroom like other drugs that you can do that. We've structure
concerns, you got staffing issues. But look, if some guy nicknamed uh,
you know, uh Kuka Racha, you know, the cockroach can't essentially
be the chemist that jump started Pablo Escobar's empire after he was attacked and almost
shot to death by pinochets people. I don't know if you ever want to
look at that. Narcos does a pretty good setup of it, but it's
pretty crazy. Basically, some chemists figure out to make cocaine in Bolivia,
had to escape because of death squads, and then went and did a deal
with Escobar and a couple other partners, and then, believe it or not,
later they turned on him spoiler. So but if that guy could figure
out how to make it happen. You know, I our Americans that lazy.
We won't create our own clandestine cocaine processing lab in the middle of the
forest to you know, meet our own supplies. I don't know, but
making his to flets not easy, right, You're not whipping that thing up
on your first try. It takes practice, knowledge, proper measurement. So
but it was. It was a rather weird angle to to trek down over
the weekend. But who knows. M He's got a bunch of tweet I'm
not going to read them all to you, but check it out. He
says. The prototype is in its early beta phase and has only received two
months training, but has developed wit said musk Brock will be a feature of
ex Premium. So this is part of the new tiered pricing, which will
cost sixteen dollars per month ross you paid for the blue Would you have any
interest in upping it another? What six domes? What is it monthly?
Nine to ninety? I would consider it just so I could be two tiers
above you. Well, what are you talking about? Because you know you
don't have it, your your your ex poverty, so I'm already above you.
Is that a term yeah, your ex poverty. So I'm already above
you, so I might pay it just to be another tier above. To
be fair, I had a blue check before they were selling. You're living
in the past, buddy. You know nobody cares anymore like a month.
Nobody cares for a month. Okay, no, it don't wump wump.
So now and then the other thing is, so he's unveiled this, and
obviously the utilization by individuals is going to continue and further the programming. So
let's just hope this thing doesn't turn into MSN or excuse me, Microsoft's,
because there you go. And also I saw a lot of discussion about this
a new trailer dropped for one of the upcoming Marvel shows. Now remember marvel
last week conversation going on where they were looking nostalgically back to the very start
of the Marvel Cinematic universe and how great everything was in Phase one, just
license to print money, and then trying to figure out in subsequent phases why
the license to print has been revoked and they're losing their butt ahead of what
is expected to be a savageing for the new Eternals or excuse me, Eternals
Marvel's movie and uh so much to the point where they're thinking about, hey,
what if we brought back all those characters we killed or you know,
changed fundamentally because people like Tony Stark just pure desperation. So what do you
do? You then decide you're going to release the new trailer for Echo.
You have so much pain in you, you you so much rage that you
can't contain it. Yeah, all right, so, uh if you hold
on for work. Here, So who's the monster? So echoes are weird?
Here's the thing is? So there is Obviously this is not something they
made up whole cloth, right, This is not something that they just decided
that they're going to create out of nothing. Echo is a Marvel Characters comic
book character and has a interesting background. I guess maybe that would be the
way to say it. The character is it's got a little daredevilish phil feel
to it. And why is this thing acting all weird? I'm telling you,
man, there's one thing after a darn another this morning, hold on,
I gotta read. I try to put this up there, and then
all of a sudden it's like, ah, now you've got to pay for
everything you're using. This is it was a character that was first seen when
I saw the still of the trailer. It was from Hawkeye, right right,
right, right, no, no, no, But I'm talking about
the origin story of the actual character. And by the way, there is
a show they'll be streaming on Disney Plus. Maya Lopez is the character.
I don't know why this Disney page has just decided doesn't want to work anymore,
all right, So here's the point that I make you though, So
they're getting it out there, and basically, Echo is about my Lopez,
whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with turn her hometown. She
must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace the
meaning of family if she ever wants to move forward. And so she is
a character that is of Native American heritage and was written that way. And
basically, much like Daredevil, has had to adapt and overcome from the from
what people would see as a disadvantage that has heightened her ail. Let me
do this. I'm sorry, I got to get this page reloaded because there's
a very specific point that I want to make and why some people are saying,
well, you know, this is just this is them just pushing more
box checking on diversity issues and maybe a little, but fundamentally, there's a
few problems you got going into this thing that seemingly weren't addressed or were adapted
that I think maybe we just have to probably point out. So we'll get
into this, and I'm gonna have to restart this stupid thing this morning.
So annoying, so annoying, But we'll get into this coming up eight to
twenty. Take a break, be right back, keeping you connected. This
is Notty wore five WVTI and the Triad and one six one FM talked and
the Triangle. Yeah, I've xcized the case of the Mondays here on my
computator. So and then I thought, I ross his computer's given a brief
too, So I don't know, maybe it was an update or something.
So back to this with the announcement now of the airing date and the trailer
finally dropping for this new Marvel series called Echo, a character who has already
made an appearance in the Hawkeye series and you know obviously has footing within a
comic book series leading up to this. Echo is a is a deaf Native
American superhero, which look, I'm not here to begrudge any of that,
but when you start throwing in, as you know, all of the different
background elements there, I also understand why people would go this, you know,
this is looks a little panderstony, and I don't know, maybe maybe
not. However, it's not as though the character was just made up for
the purpose of, you know, being there. And this is an important
distinction where people's beef isn't with having a character, especially a unique character that
has various backgrounds and experiences. People's problem tend to lie with you screwing with
already established characters, I think for most people, so it's not that.
However, almost immediately, producers of the series mentioned that they were going to
stray from the lore behind this character, who is not even going to demonstrate
what is the most one of their most well known quote unquote powers, and
that's basically the ability to perfectly mimic individuals. And ironically, according to director
Sidney Freeland, the character played by actress Ala Loqua Cox will quote not have
the ability to perfectly copy other person's movements, saying quote that power is kind
of lame. So immediately shot across the bow at people who probably were invested
in this character. Perhaps going back to the comic book part going you know
what you think is stupid, I'm gonna do whatever I want. And since
we're going down that road. While the actress Cox is in fact herself deaf
and I believe she has a prosthetic of some sort, which I guess I'll
work into it, the problem is this, so the writers didn't like the
origin story of her being of the Blackfeet tribe. The Blackfeet or Blackfoot tribe
is a tribe out of up By Glacier in Montana. And I'll tell you
what, man, I'm somebody who really because of growing up out west,
I really got into the individual stories of the different tribes around there, and
I think they had they're one of the coolest. I think they're one of
the coolest tribes that are out there. But it was not enough for the
show the showrunner here. So since we're going down this diversity road, I
have some questions, like, I don't know why is some white dude on
a North Carolina radio station more knowledgeable about tribal background? And I'll explain what
I mean. Next best show after the show is on the iHeart radio app
search case o day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. I admit,
man, I don't there's some people I don't know what's gonna make them
happy. Maybe the answer is nothing to make him happy. So Roz has
a new video game he's enjoying himself, and I just happened to it's RoboCop.
And then I was strolling Twitter during the break there and I saw that,
like critics were not happy with the game. So I guess maybe that's
how you know it's a good game. Yeah, I mean, I just
don't care anymore because he got release. A lot of the critics now or
these younger kids right out of college or whatever, and they're like brainwashed.
Anyway, the one cup plan I was seeing on X was there was a
few publications saying the issue with RoboCop the new game was that it was not
woke enough. So they're gonna give it a low score. What do they
want? What woke element do they want in it? It's Hellscape Future Detroit,
right. If you know the Robocops story, he's you know, double
crossed. He shot the pieces, he eventually receives the transformation to RoboCop,
and uh, you know, let the ass kicking commence, and there's a
lot of subtle storylines there too, But it's it's it's not it's not deep
stuffed, do you know what I'm saying. I mean, it is a
very funny game, and there are jokes that are not PC, so it's
probably their issue. I mean, it's so great, well, but I
mean what I'm trying to figure out, what is the woke storyline they want
the American in the robops, just just knowing how woke they are, what
their politics are, and if they're making that argument, there's a there's a
mission in the game. Not to spoil too much, but there's a there's
a drug dealer who's been stealing drugs from uh, you know, from his
supply or whatever and selling them for cheaper. Right. Oh wow, So
it's not a good thing probably to do the right. So the so the
cartel or whatever there's really pissed off at the guy and they corner them on
the rooftop and the guy's up there and they know they want him to jump
and they want him to die. But it's not the standard banter back and
forth you would expect, like you stole out drugs, No I didn't,
and you know gunfire. It's a comical conversation about capitalism, economics, supplying
demand in detail, and it's hilarious how they do it. And they got
these dogs scorch capitalism, so they're no, no, they're explaining to the
dude like how it works and supplying demand and how they're shorting him and how
it's going to make the demand for the product go down. And but it's
done in a comic way, like a comedic way where you have these thugs
and you're expecting them to say one thing and have a certain kind of cadence
and delivery, and instead it's like they're all ben Stein. But they're saying
it in like in a in a ghetto way, you know what I mean,
Like, Yo, you don't understand the laugh ofcker voodoo economics, you
know what I mean. So it's like this serious conversation they're having about economic
and while we're staying in this game on Saturday, we're all realizing what we're
what we're viewing and watching and it's hilarious. It's a funny game. It
is not local. Our laugher was an og man. That's great, but
no, no, no, you want a lesson in capitalism and suplying demand.
Did you see that? Now? They say that there is a large
demand for unvaxed men's samples for women who are turning to insemination. So there
are there is now a large group of individuals, there is a huge Facebook
group, but also a larger anti vax movement that is now putting a premium
on male donors who are unvaxed, as more want to be mothers are seeking
out those samples. So as as a result, supply and demand, right,
and so there is a wonderful lesson for folks. But the fact that
you don't get a woke element in there, that's an actual story by the
way, today that you don't get a woke element and they're but hurt over
it, that makes me like the game more, to be quite honest with
you, because here's the deal, and this is going back to the the
echo thing. So in with the with the series having the having the protagonists
be a Native American, having them be deaf, which has honed a series
of other skills. All right, I'm cool with that because that's what it
is in the comic book. But but I also realized that all these people
who purport to be woke and they you know, they want people to have
a deeper, a deeper understanding of culture. They don't give a crap about
that. The character in the comic book is Blackfeet. Blackfoot, all right,
and uh, you know, so you're you're talking about a northern Montana
tribe around Glacier with a fascinating backstory. I loved studying the individual tribes and
recognizing the difference because here's the deal. Some of them suck or not not.
They are not nice people, right, and but also they're just the
like they don't have an interesting backstory. But they're all unique. So the
Blackfoot are not the same as the crow are not the same as the Nezpierce
are not the same as There is some similarities with Shoshoni, and I'll explain
that in a moment, but there are distinct differences. And when I was
a kid, so I'm such a history nerd, I loved understanding this.
So in the book though, or in the comic books, they're from this
tribe in Montana. But the people doing the show went, you know what,
now she's Choctaw. Okay, Well that's obviously nowhere near each other.
And ironically, the actress who they hired is a member of the Menominee tribe
out of Wisconsin, but identifies as Mohican. So are we dealing with cultural
appropriation? Well, these idiots don't understand how different each of those tribes were.
The tribes that I thought were incredibly interesting from a backstory were Blackfoot tribe
very much and the Tukadikaukudica, which you don't normally hear that name, but
these were This was the only tribe that was in Yellowstone and so you want
to talk about a really hard place to carve out in existence, Yellowstone Man
some some incredible weather that you have to deal with. So and and they
received the Moniker the sheep eaters just kind of what the name stands for.
And there was also there was some discussion that they ate a little more than
sheep from time to time, talking about people. And then eventually they just
kind of left. And there are a lot of theories as to what was
going on, but most people think that they went and they kind of integrated
back into Shoshone, which is south of there. But you know, one
of the order stories is that they were initially a cast off group from the
Shoshone, but they were badass man. And my question is, I don't
purport to be the woke dude, but why do I know all of this
stuff? Why do I have this understanding and recognizing that that's kind of insulting?
Like I'd be upset if they had a comic book character that was Irish
and they're just like, you know what, not Irish anymore Portuguese, Like
I'd be pretty insulted by that. And if I was a member of the
Blackfoot tribe where you're now like it's they're all another Choctaw, I feel like
that would be insulting. But you're dealing with people don't know the difference between
Choctaw and Chumash, which is a coastal California tribe, so they don't care.
And yet they're gonna go out and be like, oh, we're doing
this super woke thing. And that's what irritates me, relentlessly, not respecting
the I guess the source material in this case, but hey, you know
what Disney gon to Disney, So what are you gonna do? All right,
A, yeah, here we go. A Halloween costume has landed a
teacher in where is this antios? This is this is Bay Area on administrative
leave. The teacher, who went as the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, which
is quite the costume, unfortunately, attached the mystery machine to the body,
but then painted the rest of her exposed body black with a green moon to
capture the imagery that you would have of, you know, the the crime
fighting kids and the mystery machine and it's nighttime and it's scary and all that.
However, to achieve this look had to blacken her face and arms and
everything. So you already know where this is going, right, according to
school Destroyers, regardless of the intention, we know that the kind of feeling
that images like this can provoke comparent students and in themmunity. So here's the
deal. Do I do I think the teacher was trying to do Al Jolson?
No, But let me ask you this, in what circumstance, as
a grown adult in an educational setting, especially around the Bay Area of California,
would you consider any costume that you had to put shoe polish on your
face regardless of the context. I can't. I can't think of a Hey,
you could be like, I'm a burn victim. They're not going to
care. I got to care for a moment, so I don't understand the
lunacy. I agree that, like she it's this is dumb, But I
also think it's dumber that you in the San Francisco area would think that rolling
into a school full of moonbats from coworkers, activist kids, thinking that nobody
was going to say anything. But then I thought maybe she just wanted to
day off. So I don't know. Jeff Eno he's here, he's only
reg it's a day off. The rest of us have to work. But
Jeff's got your weekly weather, and it's not too bad. What's something man?
Not at all. If you are a fan of the warmer temperatures after
some of the bitter cold we had last week, then this is definitely for
you. Sunny today, not so bitter cold, and then not too warm.
We'll get up to seventy three, mid sixties average, so obviously we
are above that mark. Clear tonight in forty nine for the overnight low.
Now we really start to sort of heat things up tomorrow, mostly sunny.
We'll go up to eighty for the high eighty again Wednesday with sunshine, and
the record for that date eighty degrees set back in nineteen eighty six, and
it looks like we'll see another eighty degree day on Thursday. May work in
a little rain by the end of the work week, and we'll start to
cool down a little as we move towards the weekend. Okay, all right,
Jeff, appreciate it, and we'll talk soon, sir, sounds good,
have a good one coming up. We'll check in with Jeff Bellinger from
Bloomberg News. Hang on, thanks you. Case is on ninety four to
five WPTI and the Triad and one six one AFM Talk in the Triangle,
Turry. Good morning, eight fifty two. Jeff Bellinger, back from its
long, relaxing weekend here on our Monday. Jeff, what's happening? I
was morning Case Wall Street made it five wins in a row on Friday,
and the futures are pointing a little bit higher this morning. Now, futures
are up just five points. We get the conference boards forward Looking Employment Trends
Index at ten o'clock this morning. We'll see what they expect hiring to look
like in the months ahead. And Less say Apple needs a product to help
it restore revenue growth. The company introduce new watches and air pods. But
they were just modest updates to the previous models. It doesn't help that Apple
has not released a new iPad this year. It's the first time that has
happened since Steve Jobs launched the tablet in twenty ten. The American travel agency
Lonely Planet says Nairobi is the top city in the world to visit in twenty
twenty four. The agency says the Kenyan government has a strong commitment to promote
the nation on the national stage, and Nairobi has a vital tourism industry.
Now. Philadelphia and Kansas City, by the way, the only US cities
to make the top ten. More developers now are building houses that are now
not only resilient to the extreme weather that is increasing with climate change, but
the homes are also more environmentally friendly. North Carolina based Deltech Homes designs houses
with rounded shapes and tightly secured solar panels they can stand up to hurricane force
winds. Chrispy Kreme's new Flavors of Fall collection is on the menu now through
Thanksgiving. It features six seasonal doughnuts, some with cinnamon, apple, and
pumpkin flavors, and read the fine print before you place an online order.
We're talking about the really fine print that describes the product's dimensions. It's easier
than you might think for furniture shoppers to accidentally order items designed for doll houses.
The Wall Street Journal says it happened twice to a lady in the UK.
Her most recent purchase was what she thought was a small Christmas tree.
The one she actually received was the size of her thumb. Casey, I'm
sorry, hold the Christmas tree the size of a thumb. Yeah it was.
It was designed for a doll house. She didn't realize it. She
thought she was buying something that she could put on display in her home for
the holidays. You know, I've seen a bunch of these repeats, like
sometimes it's people not reading stuff, but there's a lot of scammers too,
man, Yeah, it could be. They'll to show context there. All
right, Well, there you go, get tiny presents and you'll be fine.
Thank you, Jeff, appreciate, Okay, good back, All right,
there you go. Jeff bellingch for Bloomberg News. You want to hear
something deeply satisfying and completely divorced from reality. So there was a video that
emerged over the weekend of this this woke woman, right, she's uh all
about the uh you know, diversity, equity, inclusion, all that good
stuff. And unfortunately she also needed to go to Target, and she was
awe struck at what she experienced over at the targe a and uh, tell
me if you can sense the irony in this higher hour for this. So
she it loads in pretty quick. She says, I spent an entire hour
for this, and then she shows what she got, which was at munch,
so it took her an hour though, that's her beat higher hour for
this, this single bag of items. I'll tell you why. It's because
they're essential. And apparently now my target walks away all essential items. So
while you could get like forty dollars the most pross or makeup that was sitting
out, my eight dollar body wash was locked away, as was my odor
and my husband's body wash and his raisors and like the basic things that I
went to targe it to get. Behold that dystopian nightmare that is my target.
Now look at it, and I, like many other former Target lovers,
was planning on perusing the fall items, maybe sniffing a candle or two,
maybe buying what I didn't meet. But I was literally fighting for my
life in that store. I was so desperate to get out of there.
And then when I finally get to the end, there's a giant length about
one employee left, one lone employee was not opening cabinets and was manning the
checkout register. So the self checkout line is all the way to the back
of the store. Yeah, uh man, that sucks, right, that
sucks. You go into Target or I don't know, maybe a CVS or
a Walgreens or a Walmart. I went through this crap with the Walmart just
north of the station here a few months ago when I needed just a little
thing of razors, and it was it was an act of Congress to get
somebody to come open it. But going back to this, so, if
you look at the rest of us social media posts, she's all about whatever
the cause of azure is, right, And at no point does it apparently
cross her brain when trying to figure out why her target went from everything's accessible,
grab what you need to everything's under lock and key, good luck finding
an associate, And it never dawns on her before perhaps putting this thing together
to complain and trash on Target. As to why that may be. Do
you think target just did it to irritate you, or do you think that
other circumstances have arisen that may have pushed Target to do that, or I
don't know, closed stores in some places. And by the way, I
think you will also notice that's probably not how things play out at a target
in uh Economa Walk, Okay, Wisconsin. But maybe just research why and
she probably would be the first in line to attack, rallying again, rallying
over the weekend, receiving a lot of abuse after highlighting what she says is
yet another example of wokeness gone awry. A story out of Australia where a
judge demanded a woman who is literally at a trial at her own trial,
not her trial, though the trial of the man accused of raping her,
to use his preferred pronouns, excuse me her preferred pronouns under penalty of you
might get in trouble. And it's not the first. There's a similar story
in the UK where a judge told a woman it was beaten up by a
trans identified male that she showed bad grace and could be held in contempt for
refusing to call her attacker by her preferred pronoun So this is what we've come
to, and I would argue you target lady probably might have been part of
that problem.
