All right, good morning everybody. It is Tuesday. There's nothing really exciting
when you say it's Tuesday. It's not quite Monday, but you know,
so you know, at least a step in the right direction. But it
is crazy town. So yeah, it's gonna be one of those shows,
all right. So it's official. It is official. The White House has
announced that Joe Biden, who, by the way, I saw yesterday people
uh, you know supporters that were using this photo of Joe Biden, like,
ah, the statesmen with all of the knowledge, and they were writing
these very similar posts to be like, I'm so glad that at this time
of increased hostilities in the Middle East, we have somebody with the requisite amount
of experience in these matters to guide us through to a safe path. And
then they were they had the most like there's not an Instagram influencer in the
world who would have looked at that photo and went, I don't know,
that's a little much. With the filters, it was crazy and they couldn't
even get all the wrinkles. Plus you're putting posts out about his elder statesmanship.
The whole thing was weird, dude, absolutely strange. But no,
he's gonna head over to Israel and I think Jordan as well. We just
re review the story here. Biden will head to Israel and Jordan. His
concerns mount that Israel Hamas conflict will spread. Where were those concerns coming from?
Huh? Part where I rands like, yeah, hey, now's a
good time to attack Israel. Was it that thing where they said that yesterday
and they're like, yeah, that's probably gonna happen today. Or was it
that? Or was it when the New York Times was trying to get net
and Yahoo to step down again? But now he said it over there,
he'll join world leaders, both Israeli and Arab leadership. Tomorrow. US Secretary
of State Anthony B. Lincoln announced the travel to Israel is the humanitarian situation
in the Gaza Strip grows more dire, and is Israel prepares for possible ground
attack to root out Hamas militants. Do you know who wanted to go over
there and they're like, nah, nope, we're good. The Ukrainian president,
I mean, he's already in fatigues, So kids, you not for
maybe because nobody's the world's kind of averted its gaze. I mean, I
guess I understand his motivation. And but yeah, the Ukrainian president had indicated
that he might want to go to Israel, and they're like, you know,
the time's just not right. So that's that's gonna be a no from
us. So yeah, yesterday was a really weird day, man, really
strange day. But you know that's why we're here, That's why we do
what we do. And then I saw a headline just made me go,
you know what, I went off of this ride. Oh that's good.
I went off of this ride. I'm gonna I'm gonna save it for you.
I somebody tweeted it at US Ross. You know the one I'm referring
to, right, the one that yeah, I sure do. It's a
doozy. I mean they make a good point, right, good point.
I mean, I mean it's definitely a point. It's a point. Well
that's okay, but that's to have a good point, you have to have
a point, right. You gotta start with having a point, right.
You gotta have a point, and then from there you flush out whether it's
a good point or not. Oh my gosh. And there's like three of
those stories today. I'm just like, yeah, I await the story that
me and me see the guy pushing the button and he's sweating because they're both
like you know, like yeah, yeah, yeah, horrible choices. Dude,
We're all everything's everything's just loony tunes, you know what. I You
know, people make a lot of hay over like and and it integrated into
pop culture and like Twilight Zone episodes, right, you know, like uh
the Red Scare right where homeowners were putting together their own nuke bunkers and then
they wouldn't let their neighbors in. It turned into a whole thing because aliens
Twilight Zone look it up, but not really like I would understand why somebody
would just be like, you know what, I'm gonna I'm gonna tap out
for a year. Let's see if all that food I brought I bought because
Glenn Beck was advertising it. Let's see if it actually sustains my family.
I'll come out when it's done. Yeah, it's that kind of morning.
So we'll give you we'll give you a nice overview of of all of that
insanity. Ross. I was thinking, I you know, you used to
have in your studio window there, used to have your award with the misspelling
on it. I thought it was fun. Some other stud you took that
down. Why'd you take that down? Buddy? You know spring cleaning and
clean up every now and again. I was thinking, maybe you need something
for your for your office. I want to get for your studio. I
want to get you something. But that'd be okay if I just you know,
for all you know, I would typically say yeah, But this sounds
like a trap. So I'm gonna say no, you don't want a gift.
I don't want to need any It's not about me. Give it to
somebody else, pass it along, pay forward, I feel like, you
know, but to give it to yourself. No, no, no,
no, no, no no, that would be that's selfish. You don't
like the guy who's like, I'm gonna get my wife a bowling ball so
she doesn't want it. I get it right, the old old canard.
There. I just sent you an email. Let me know how many of
these you want. Check your email there. Yeah, we're gonna get ross
a new thing for a studio. So ah, dude, already have one.
You have one of those? Huh yeah, sure you have a sexy
homeless guy calendar. Got to support the community. You know, some of
those guys are events, you know, support the troops. What is wrong
with people sexy calendar of homeless men? Exploitative or empowering? Oh dear god,
they should be thankful. There's a lot of people that pose for calendars
and that ends up not even being a calendar. Well there, no,
there is a calendar. But they just they needed more money. Oh is
that what it is? Okay, Yeah, they transitioned. You're like,
I'm going to be a model. I made it. It's like there's nothing
there. It's like securing an apartment, you know what I mean, got
a rent apartment. Competition's fierce. Do this story? Holy crap, Holy
crap, markeys heinz, that's sure. List In a wheelchair, hidden from
the Utah sun under a scrap of tree shade, he leaned forward, ice
pinched in a fashion model squint, his face aimed at a photographer over his
shoulders. In the background, but not part of the shoot, a half
dozen people sprawled along the sidewalk, men and women who, like hinds,
are part of the city's booming unhoused population. All right, so some photographer
went out and found homeless dudes to pose naked, but you know, strategically
covered. As part of the shoot, Casenya Kizeva, I can't pronounce this
chick's name, started offering instruction think of the greatest love of your life.
She called the Hines. You know the problem is, and I don't mean
this in a disparagement, the greatest love of his life might be drugs,
ma'am. And I don't know that you turning him into a pinup calendar is
helping the situation. Heines brings one leg over the other, exposing each limb
narrowed to an obdruct abrupt surgical and below his ankle. Frostbite from sleeping outside
last year cost hinds both his feet. Yeah, I think he needs more
than a fashion model gig. Imagine you're chilling on the beach and you're about
to seduce a beautiful woman, says the photographer. Instead of angry, I
want your eyes to smile a bit, a bit of passion. Maybe dude's
angry because everything's gone sideways, and through a combination of perhaps addiction and or
mental health issues, he finds himself in this situation and probably doesn't need you
taking boudoir photos of him. I don't even know. Man. No,
this is one of the Sayer stories and it's gonna look great in Ross's office,
or you could take it home, put it next to the data.
Are they really calling it the sexy Nomad calendar? They're calling it the Sexy
Nomad calendar, a twelve month spread of unsheltered men in seductive centerfold poses and
pouts. It's the third one. They've done this for three years. I'm
only hearing of it now and that's why I thought, Wow, this is
the perfect gift. Does the perfect gift exists? Yes, it does.
Used to live in Salt Lake too. Like you may know some of these
dudes. You know what I'm saying. You may have been panhandled by one
of the guys in this calendar. The calendar helps attract attention to the organization,
which uses a portion of its resources, obviously to aid the unhoused.
As it's written here is the Washington Post piece. I notice it's all dudes.
Is there a reason you don't have the female equivalent of this? Or
remember the chicken Seattle, who are the homeless person in Seattle who got that
pool? Got the pool for the homeless and came out. I believe that
was a woman got the couches there created the spa like atmosphere. I'm just
saying, do the whole thing is just so creepy. How much is a
calendar? I don't want to overspend and literally I'm not gonna read the whole
article, but they literally try to justify it, like, well, one
of the things we're doing is we bring in a stylist and a you know,
a hair and makeup artists who give them a new look, which they
then after the calendar shoot, perhaps can use to parley into future endeavors.
Maybe. And I don't begrudge that right because we do judge books by their
cover, But like, there's some other issues going on here. I don't
know, was it any more exploited? Remember that homeless due they found on
the street and they're like, he's gonna do radio voice over now because he
had that that crazy deep voice. It was talented. He's the guy at
the Golden Voice and that worked out. Right, He's doing all this stuff.
I did knock his believe it or not, there's some issues that led
him to be homeless, and giving him more money didn't really help that fact.
Oh no, because there's a Yeah, we went. We caught him.
As before in the show, there's like a myth that if you were
to build everybody, like every homeless person a house, right, have them
like living it, like they would take care of their issues. Well it
really wouldn't. Like, No, it's a combination of factors, many of
which are much more deep seated than their outward to appearance. Well, you've
got mental health issues, you've got drug addiction issues. Yeah, yep,
yep, yep, yep. We look at that and you just look at
it. They recently rate they put a bunch of homeless people where was it
in New York City? Right? Was? Sorry? And they destroyed the
hotel. Yeah, yeah, they kind of did well destroyed it. Look
one man's destroyed as an other man's giant drug den, you know what I'm
saying. So if you're into giant drug dens, you're like, wow,
this place is amazing. Yeah, it didn't necessarily work out there, so
oh here we go forty dollars. Wow, that is an expense. You
know what you're worth it? You're worth it, right, you are worth
to Jackson's. That's all I'm saying. I bet shippings more too. The
Nomad Alliance, the group behind the calendar, says all told the expect to
raise thirty thousand dollars and they hope that this year's funds could be used to
buy a new trailer that would provide the opportunity for at least one of the
families to move off the street. Okay, then you know they should do.
They should move to Chicago into your which Chicago's doing. Oh, I
bet it's not for homeless vets. Though, no, it's probably not.
But we'll get to that. And that is just a small sliver a taste
an itsy bitsy teensy weensy little amount of the giant bucket of insanity coming your
way on the show today. So we'll start there. We'll give you a
rundown on a few other things. And boyle boy, is there a lot
of news, So stick around for that. Our phone number is always eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. You want to get on
the show. That is how you make it happen, and we'll return,
we'll get your calls and a few other things coming up here on the CaCO
Day Radio program Your Day Smarter one six one FM Talk News Talk w PTI
more with Casey starts now, all right, well, as we get things
rolling this morning, we oh, we got a kangaroo fight too. Did
I mentioned that that's the thing on the show today. I assume that's every
day in Australia. I just assume that, and we're just for whatever reason,
a reporter's like, hey, maybe I should do a story today,
but maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Maybe Aussie Paul's listening and he
can he can help us out when we get to that story. So I
mentioned the Zelenski wanted to go to Israel. An official request by the Ukrainian
president to visit Israel to quote help show support for the people has been officially
denied by no things not the right time, however, world leaders will gather,
including Joe Biden tomorrow in both Israel and Jordan. How like, how
I haven't seen exact way. He's not going to go anywhere near Gaza,
right, right from a security perspective, right, But Israel's not that big
of a country. I don't know, man, I understand why they don't
want Zelenski there because nobody's shaking him down for money and likely they'll probably be
some of that with Biden, but that dude's just trying to stay relevantly.
Hey, hey, hey look at us. So you got our thing going.
Remember Democrats have already threatened to attach a one in quote one and done
ae hundred billion dollar funding mechanism to anything that would have to do with Israel.
But the from you Tanian perspective, so could get interesting. Also,
we have a cancelation this morning, so we'll get that started. You know,
for some parents, you guys may uh you may be excited about this,
That's what I'm saying. Maybe you're sick of this already. Uh ready,
and uh, this this is a This is a tough putt for Disney,
considering all of the woke crap that they're trying to shovel. Uh.
Robin DiAngelo h the author of White Fragility, This is one of those one
of those books that if you're doing any of the DEI courses, UH is
front and center has UH has a pretty hot take on uh, well,
the movie Frozen. How does this idea that children are innocent? I mean,
certainly born innocent, but research show I should argue this is not just
a hot take on Frozen, but it is also an argument why She thinks
Disney and others need to do more to indoctrinature kids rather than just being like,
hey, why don't we put out a show that kids like that can
sell merch? No? No, no, you must use it for your
own Social justice means. Now, does this idea that children are innocent?
I mean, certainly born innocent, but research shows it by age three.
As early as age three, they understand that it's better to be white.
Wow, let me be clear, not that white people are better, but
that it's just better to be white. And let me give you an example
of Frozen. The movie Frozen. Okay, huge, this movie, right,
I've seen little girls all over the world with the backpacks, and I
mean, you can't watch that movie. Know that the ideal is white,
blue eyes, blonde hair, red hair. That's just one example. And
you can have maybe a frog that turns into a princess for a minute and
goes back to a frog and she's a brown girl. But that doesn't.
Oh that's the exception, not the rule. All right, I've never watched
Frozen all the way. I didn't see in it. I've seen that movie
a few times. Oh really I have is uh mh is there is that
is that is it as she says it is? I mean it takes place
in a Nordic country, right, Like, so, I mean, isn't
the whole premise it's a fairy tale, right, It's a fairy tale that's
born off of u Arndella. It's the place. Yeah, like, uh,
what was the the Huntsman movie? Right? Isn't that like the live
action movies and it's got like a snow white connection or something. Then I'm
not one hundred percent sure, but to your point, it's it's in a
Nordic country. That's the whole point of it. And the reason they kind
of went to a Nordic country I believe is because they needed the the tundra
aspect, right, I mean yeah, I mean it's called frozen. Yeah,
yeah, it's in the name of the movie. I thought that that
might, you know, that would work into the would work into it right
there. Man. By the way, the second thing she says about the
princess and the frog, yeah, it's completely wrong synopsis of that movie.
Oh that's right, that is another movie. Oh she's not a frog that
turns into a quote black girl that turns back into It's not what happens in
that movie. Well, I'm paraphrasing her. She said, brown girl,
that's not what happens in the movie at all. Who's the frog? Then
she she is a little girl where that grows up and New Orleans and then
she turns into a frog. There's another there's another fella who turns into a
frog. They kiss each other and they turned back into humans. They did
a frog kiss, your frog's kiss. Yeah, okay, they do,
Okay, not all of them though. And that story yesterday where the girl
frogs pretend to play dead, so the male frog stopped trying to, you
know, do that thing. The princess and the frog. It's actually it's
it's one of our favorite Disney movies too. It's a great movie. And
when and here's the thing. Last time we went to Disney, Marky recently
went. She came back from a wedding right last time we went. It
was a few years ago. There were two sets of girls dressed up as
the princess in that movie or the one from Frozen, and it went back
and forth. It wasn't just you. You saw little white girls dressed up
like the princess from The Princess and the frog cultural appropriation. Yeah, oh
wow, it's a very popular character now, but I mean that's completely wrong.
I mean she gets it, and the girl ends in that movie ends
up, you know, living her dream. She opens up her favorite,
you know, her dream restaurant that she wanted when her daddy was alive.
She cooks like Cajun food, which include frog legs by the way. Probably,
Yeah, I mean, does that explore it in the movie, because
maybe right, all right, you're serving. I watched Ready to Go.
I watched The Moana recently. Here's that one white person in that movie.
I was horrified. Hor chicken. Where does it take place? The chicken
was white? I see. Maybe the chicken is supposed to be indicative of
I'm not I don't know, But where's the movie like Mawi? Oh wow?
Okay, So so it's set in a place where if you go back
and you and you present it from a historical perspective, probably had people who
were you know, more Samoan looking like white. Yeah, like you're not
gonna find like you know, I mean now you will, but like you
wouldn't find ol Off there. Yeah, now's because he's a snowman. Yeah.
Now, like the Mark Zuckerberg odins like ninety five percent of one of
the islands. But back in the day, no Mark Zuckerberg, Right,
that's so weird. People are explaining to me how frogs kiss because they have
long tongues. That is gross. Boston Paul, what is wrong with you?
Boston Paul sent me a picture this morning too of the the Wegmans.
I'm assuming is that the one over on wake Forest or Morrisville, Well,
whatever is there's a picture of the Wegmans and they have like a whole Buffalo
Bill's merch section at the North Carolina Wegmans. You get the cereal Man,
the Josh Jacks. Yeah, I mean I remember that. I remember that,
but they have no this is all like T shirts and mugs, koozies.
I hey, We've yet to go even in there because every time we
passed it were like it's so busy. We're like, no, thank you,
I uhould go on the Wegmons. It's fine. I now that you
know they have a Buffalo Bills section, you'll get yourself some merch. I
don't see any tables though. You're gonna have a Buffalo Bill's merch section.
How do you not have folding tables. I think they do that in the
parking lot. Oh, that would make more sense. It's funny because they
have that, and then there's a giant pile of oranges, which I'm not
sure how that mixes in. I guess unless you're making alcoholic orange related drinks,
so you can jump on the flaming table. But yeah, it's a
whole thing, whole section there. I had to tell you what a rotten
week in the NFL. Just boring, man, bor. I know,
last night's game ended up close seventeen twenty or whatever, cowgirls use me.
Cowboys won, but it wasn't exciting. I tapped out at halftime, just
like looked on like a YouTube video or whatever. Fell asleep. That's the
that's the Raleigh one. Boston. Paul's making the trip, all right.
I'm sure it's the same over it the other one too. I get a
feeling that it's all the Wegmans, because Ross was saying that, like,
if you the Bills the Wegmans and you, well, it's from New York,
right, I'm assuming whoever owns it or runs it must be a Bills
fan. Yeah, I've never been. Are they Is it a Buffalo Company.
I know exactly where they're headquartered. There's got to be some lore or
something online. I was gonna google, dude, you do do Wegman's Buffalo
bills? Oh, they got Buffalo, they got you know, there's a
digs hot sauce in It's elite. It's called the Eat. Do you want
that with your hobo naked hobo calendar? Oh? Speaking of hot sauce,
dude, I'm telling you, man, I'm gonna tracked down some of this
stuff. You gotta you gotta drink this on the stream. Now I'm passing
on that. Nope, no way, come on. No, I'm good.
And what I already did, I've I've proven myself. I'm not doing
it. The dude who made the Carolina Reaper. That dude has come up
with a pepper that's three times as hot as the Carolina Reaper, and Ross
likes to chug hot sauce on his on his stream. Yeah, I did
the double shot of the Carolina Reaper hot sauce and it wasn't like some ley.
You know, it's like a little little Carolina Reaper house. So it
was a lot of sugar. Now, it was just like pure It was
so bad, dude, the most pain I've ever been in. I thought
I was gonna die. I really did. Ed Curry, the South Carolina
hot Pepper experts, says he has unveiled and it's been certified, but Guinness
Book of War Old records the pepper, which is currently being referred to as
pepper X, reportedly, oh this sounds nice. According to Curry, a
single shot will provide intense heat and even cramps for up to three and a
half hours if one was to eat an entire pepper. Quote, those cramps
are horrible. I was laid out flat on a marble wall for approximately an
hour in the rain, groaning in pain. Yeah. I remember. I
was sitting in a man chair in my in my living room at two o'clock
in the morning after the Hayes for Sheriff Twitch tree. We shish you should
check that out. It's on Twitch the Hayes for Sheriff channel. One word
sounds like you're damn near suicidal. So is sitting there, dude? And
I was in my chair in the dark, and I felt like an alien
was gonna pop out of my stomach and I could I was shaking. I
was like, this has to be what pregnancy is like, like this has
to be the pain, Like it felt so bad in my stomach. I
was like something is about to pop out of myself. Cat comes down the
stairs, it looks at me through through the like comes out. It looks
at me like, oh my god, are you dying? And I start
thinking, I'm like, I'm about to probably happening. Because you hear these
stories about cats that know when you're gonna die and they always compet. I'm
like, the cat is staring at me, it knows I'm about that.
It seems like the grim Reaper behind me or someone's cat vision. Oh I'm
so thankful to live. I'm no way in hell I'm getting some of that.
Nope, this is gonna be great. I'm gonna get you this and
the hobo Naked Hobo calendar, so the last thing you see before you die
naked hoboes. I mean, it's a veteran and you can't you ken't me
making fun of him? This is holy cow. I don't think that one
dude's a veteran. Don't you buy the backstory in the story Curry, which
runs the pucker Butt Store, appropriate, I guess, And for Mill plans
on releasing yes yet ah an updated version to the world's current hottest hot sauce.
So all right, we'll have to wait a little while. So that's
the thing that's coming. All right, six fifty kco Day Radio program coming
up on the show. Uh you ever get the Kangaroo Insanity latest from the
Middle East because obviously we got to do that and you are not gonna believe
this. Apparently one of those carbon offset companies might not be on the up
and up. I know, we'll explore coming up. Hang on, Thank
you. Kc Is on ninety four f WPTI in the Triad and one six
one FM Talk in the Triangle. Oh wow, would you look at this?
Oh No, former New England Patriots defensive back in custody after his mother
was murdered last month. What is going on man with that team and murderers
or alleged murderers. Yes. According to CNN, Illinois law enforcement officials have
placed Sergio Brown, former undrafted free agents signed by the Patriots, in custody
after being connected to the death of his mother's seventy three year old Myrtle Brown.
I mean there is a pattern here right at this point it's undeniable.
Right, here's a guy. The rest all of the NFL said, you
know what, I think that dude one day may murder his mother. We're
not going to We're not going to give him a shot in this league.
Don't want to be associated with that. Murdering your mother is frowned upon.
It is. It is. Yeah, with like except for the movie like
Psycho. Maybe I don't know a few exceptions. I mean, Josh Allen
would never murder his mother. In fact, would you check, would you
see if his mother's been let me check. He's not trying to murder.
Okay, he's jumped over her a few times. I mean she's very short.
It was accidental. Wow, I'm just saying, man, that whole
team needs Jesus. Well, there you go. All the news you need.
All right, good keep going in everybody Happy Tuesday. It is seven
oh six hour number two here on the Cacoday radio program. Uhh, we
have some pushback here, and that's fine. Look I got no beat.
You guys want to you guys want to fact check the show, Say hey,
I think you said something, but here's something else that contradicts it.
Maybe you should look at it. I'm cool with that, you know,
if you're not a jerk about it, because I'm human, I screw up,
and you know, the news cycle is the news cycle. There's so
much conflicting information out there. So Boston Paul seems to think that this former
Patriots cornerback who may have murdered his mother is actually a Buffalo Bills former cornerback.
And while it is true that Sergio Brown did spend a stint with the
Bills, I went reviewed his career. He also signed with the Colts,
Jags, and Falcons over the course of his career. He was in the
league, brought into the league by the Patriots, and played the most games
for them. Why would they bring someone like that into the league? Like
somebody comes across their southern border, right, yes, yes, some crazy
terrorists okay, and you know, stab someone to death? Who let them
in the country? Biden? Right, Biden led them through the Why did
the Patriots let this psychopath into the league? No vetting, Like there's no
vetting, there's let anybody in the league, well not over there, right
when it all costs, none of it matters? Oh, are tight ends
out murdering people? He cut three touchdowns was last Sunday. No. Look,
if you have to affix where somebody spent their career is like Big Poppy
Ross. You've heard of the former Twins Great Big Poppy I have, We've
talked to him before in the show. Yeah, David Ortiz yeh began his
career with Minnesota Twins. Therefore Minnesota Twins, Sergio Brown potential Mama Killer Patriots,
plus he played the most games. Ross. You ever heard of Kansas
City Chiefs great Joe Montana? I sure have not. Oh? Really,
have you heard of a Joe Montana? Yeah? Yeah, a big quarterback
for one of the greatest. Yeah. Who do you play for? San
Francisco forty nine ers? Wow? Okay, see how that works. How
about Vikings quarterback legend Brett Farv Right, you're familiar with him? No,
you're familiar with Green Bay Packer quarterback Brett Farv So own your mistakes, Boston
Paul, who sent me this upset? I'm not trying to hang this around
the Colts, Jags or Falcons. Neck. He played the most for you,
and you brought him into the league. You're supposed to be supposed to
be the vetting one. What's wrong? I'm sorry, I'm so tired of
seeing this stupid commercial on TV with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. I
just can't stop, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, that
just stop. He is They're not everywhere the former Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady.
Yep, yep, yep. There's a lot of Gronk commercials too.
This we guice he's got no reason to come back anyway. Back to the
Patriots, listen, Yeah, it's a tainted organization. It's so bad.
Why would you do these things? You know? I heard they scouted John
Wayne Gacy. Did you hear this? I've heard that too, Yeah,
I heard that. That's a thing. So and if you need a source,
that both Ross and I have. So that's two sources. So journalistically
you're fine, right, and it'll be on the podcast later. So that's
three. Oh wow, Okay, I can't argue with that. Uh yeah,
you know, send me your send me your hate whatever. All right,
you ready for this because I know what you're saying. You're saying case
I want to start Miday with something insane that makes me want to check out
a society. Well, it just so happens I got something for you.
I'm here for you. The headline is you ready for this? Israel makes
the hormones I need, but I support Palestinian liberation. The author, Ita
Segev, a large part of the trans community in the US being forced to
choose. Now. I will say this, this article is from prior to
what happened, but I think it encapsulates a lot of the mindset and I'd
be interested to see a follow up article from Ita, a large part of
the trans community in the US, being forced to choose between our life affirming
transitions and our Palestinian siblings demand for freedom. H yes, that's right.
The author, identified as an Israeli trans woman who quote desperately needs Palestine to
be free. Is Yeah. I got a lootle conundrum. About ten months
ago, I figured out that I wanted to start hormone replacement therapy to begin
my medical transition. Many reasons for the decision, but one the realization that
growing up Israeli and trans in Jerusalem while being expected to become a Zionist man,
left an aftermath in my body. I needed to heal. YadA,
YadA, all right, motivation, motivation, whatever, let me, let's
get to the juice. Here here's the juice of the article. Teva,
a word meaning nature in Hebrew, is an Israeli own pharmaceutical company and the
manufacturer of the very same hormones needed for my medical transaction or transition. Excuse
me, So, while the estrogen is produced by an Israeli company, I'm
a supporter of BDS. That's the divess that basically take all your money out
of anything Israeli related. I was shocked to learn the only manufacturer for the
drug I need was, in fact, this Israeli company. Well you're at
You're at a Jerusalem pharmacy, so are you really surprised they're going to have
Israeli pharmaceutical makers manufacturers and that It's all the stuff you expect. And it
couples nicely, by the way, with this article I saw yesterday by author
Owen Jones. So Jones is gay and writes for The Guardian, and boy,
oh boy had the hottest of takes yesterday. Let me read from the
Twitter thread that really got this thing running. So basically, people were hacking
on Jones because he wrote this article and he's just like, you know,
down with Israel, blah blah blah, is really in the same vein as
the other one. And people pointed out that Jones is gay and that may
not comport with living peacefully under Hamas well, he was ready for it.
He did his research and he wants you to know and this might change some
of your minds. Quote I'm being spammed with this sort of stuff. So
for the record, there isn't the death penalty for homosexuality in Gaza. It's
a prison sentence of up to ten years. Bad enough, but no need
to exaggerate. And if three percent of Gazin's are LGBTQ, that means Israel
has killed ninety LGBTQ Gosins in nine days. And by the way, it
wasn't actually Hamas who introduced the law banning homosexuality in Gaza. It was the
British Empire. That's right. Same sex sexual activity has been prohibited in Gaza
under the British Mandate Criminal Code since nineteen thirty six, so they follow all
the other British laws there. Yeah, there does Prema Nacta coming out to
wazoo there. Man, it's a big thing. So what wait, hold
on, do you think you're changing. They don't actually murder you. They
just put you in jail for ten years, and it's because the British one.
Come on, man, But seriously, I'm still hung up on this.
I'm pretty sure the British had laws against, you know, murdering people
and uh babies and the elderly on fire and all these horrific things we've seen.
Surely there are British laws against those things, right following this one British
law in particular. Now, to be fair, to be fair, the
British were not good at following those laws themselves for a lot of years,
right when it came to uh, you know, world nomination. A love
of the fact. He's like, they're just following the law. Choice,
no choice, just following orders. Is that what you mean, sir?
That would That's a that's a strong point you're making there. The biggest threat
to LGBTQ gosins comes from the Israeli onslaught and not humas. Was there a
British law against kidnapping? What a kidnapping and executing your hostages? Was there
a is that in the books? Look, I am not a British I'm
not a barrister or whatever they call their lawyers. I am not one.
I do not have a powdered wig or whatever they wear. So I don't
know, nor am I a lawyer here in the US, But I don't
know if that's your strongest opening point right there. We have to because the
British said so. And just to point out what you're referring to, as
you're referring to British law during the formation of really that territory of the world
post World War One. You know that if you once you leave Gazi to
go to the rest of Israel, it's kind of like a gay hotspot.
Do you remember all the gay tourism commercials that Israel was running for Tel Aviv.
They ran a giant campaign because it caused a bit of a stir,
They ran a giant campaign for gay tourism in Israel, specifically Tel Aviv as
this gay resort, beach mecca. That was a whole thing. It wasn't
that long ago. So I would say that other areas they're in that particular
region, they've gone in a slightly different direction. Rather than even throwing people
in prison for ten days, let alone ten years, they've attempted to monetize
it. So so I guess maybe you should write an article demanding that the
Israelis follow the former British standard. I don't know what you're pushing for.
But between that and this trans author who's hung up on the part where the
estrogen needed comes from an Israeli pharmaceutical company, but they're all about the you
know, it's like the Miya Khalifa conundrum right where she's like, ah,
I love Hamas, but you know, porn, and she even did porn
in a semi Burca and I feel like they're going to have a problem with
that. Again, not a legal expert in the area, but I feel
like that would come up in conversation, all right eight eight, eight,
nine, three four seven, eight seventy four. I told you wait till
you hear what Chicago's doing. We're going to get to that. And this
is interesting. This is companies eliminating college degree requirements amid soaring tuition costs.
I think it is a great thing. And frankly, this is exactly the
kind of stuff that has long, long, been long being probably coming to
universities, and they've only themselves to blame. And it's not just from a
cost perspective. Yeah, you have to have to as you watch what happened
all around the country with all of the gatherings on college campuses, the insanity
up at Harvard, you had to stop and ask yourself, well, what
does a four year degree mean anyway in practical life skills as it pertains to
entering the workforce? Now, depending on what your field of study is a
lot, right, there's a lot of advanced education that's very helpful in a
lot of fields. I understand it. But when the majority of people are
coming out of universities with a non technical degree and instead they're just engrossed in
all of this humanity stuff, which is nothing more than political indoctrination in many
cases, how useful is that to a company anyway? Do they want a
bunch of people are going to come in there and every time there's a microaggression
they want to go on strike. Probably not. So we'll get you the
details on that as well. Lots to get to in the last hour forty
five, So stick around kc O Day Radio program. This his one o
six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four to five w
PTI and the Triad. All right, seven twenty seven, Closer to Home,
Closer to Home, We could see a Jim Jordan speaker of the house,
that'd be interesting, an interesting dude, man. I did I tell
you about the first time I saw him in person. I was at it
was one of the radio broadcasts that I we didn't do it this year.
Sadly, the September broadcast in d C. One of the one of the
guys with the organization was the organizer of this actually passed away, which is
very sad. It's a great guy and he was. He was really the
the organizing force there. But in one of the previous years, who was
I think it was? You know, I went over to see Ted Budd
or Mark Walker whatever over at the Republican Congressional Club, right, So I
go over to say hey to them, and it's weird because you're in this
like you know, it's a bar setting, and all of a sudden,
here comes Jim Jordan. And he's not a very big dude, but he
walks at an amazing pace even when he's just in there. I guess in
there to shake hands and get a drink. A lot of energy and well,
we'll give you more in a moment. Hang on smart Talk all day
ninety four to five W PTI in the Triad and one L six one FM
Talk in the Triangle. So obviously the schedule is subject to change, but
it is expected that the US House will take up a vote today on the
possibility of making Jim Jordan's Speaker of the House. There's a few holdouts though.
According to reporting here from CBS, Jim Jordans still has to convince a
group of about ten to twenty Republicans who currently oppose his nomination to come over.
So I don't know if they're looking for bribes or if they got some
other b for what it is, but let's see here at least one source
telling nabies or excuse me, CBS News that Jordan's support has grown incrementally in
recent days. However, it looks like some of the Cheese reps are upset
over how Steve Scalise's bid was handled, like he didn't get enough respect there.
Yeah, that whole thing was weird, man, But yeah, it
is what it is. You need to get somebody in there, because I
see them sitting there going, oh, well, we're gonna we're look perhaps
a bi partisan solution and work with the Keem Jeffries and Nope, Nope,
I tell you, North Carolina saw that game, the whole duel Speaker of
the House thing. Nope, no, nope, nop dope, And see
Trump is endorsed Jordan, which of course then irritates a handful of Republicans.
I don't know. They had some meeting yesterday. Are we gonna talk,
We're gonna talk or we're I guess we're trying to figure out how to talk
with Congressman Murphy or something. Roll send me an email yesterday. We're still
firming that up though, right, all right, so we're still working on
that. Be interesting. Did they reach out They reached out to us,
right, uh, correct, okay, and then they didn't get back to
you when you responded, come on, guys, get you. I would
have loved to have him today. So if not, we're thinking, what
maybe Thursday, because we got a lieutenant governor mar Okay, well, look,
there'll still be plenty to talk talk about. It is that season,
though, isn't it. We're getting closer to that season when all of a
sudden, the congress folks from the beach and from parts on the very fringes
of our listening area suddenly like, hey, remember me, let's come on
the show. Have Hudson's people reached out yet right next week? Which is
fine. Look, if you're look, if you're a member of Congress,
you want to come on the show. And I don't care. If you're
a Democratic Republican, I got questions for you. We'll talk to you.
I told you when I was in Minnesota, man, me and my radio
buddy up there. It didn't matter whether it was Michelle Bachman or Keith Ellison,
get him in there. Got questions, they got responsibilities. But yeah,
what's happening up in Washington. Rep. Mike Turner, who appeared on
CBS's Face the Nation, is described as a bell weather for where many House
Republicans stand, saying quote, I think Jim Jordan will be an excellent speaker.
I think he'll be able to get to two seventeen. If you remember
how many how many votes they take with McCarthy, it was it was not
just a few, it was a lot. If Jordan is unable to cure
enough support, some key skeptics and veteran Republicans are now preparing to push for
a deal that would expand the ability of Patrick McHenry to move legislation on Israel
and government funding. So this is that bipartisan deal they're talking about where they
don't want to make uh North Carolina Congressman McHenry the speaker, but they want
to let it. They want to change rules so he can do some speaker
stuff, but basically just the part where he spends your money. So that's
that's Washington written all over it. Man. There are a few other names
still in the hopper should the Jordan thing not work out, including, let's
see here, Tom Cole of Oklahoma at least Stephonic of New York. Oh,
Tom Emmer, I know Tom. Tom is a Minnesota rep and former
radio host. He hosted He literally hosted the show in the timeslot where I
used to work in Minnesota for a lot of years and then ran for Congress.
Ironically, Jason Lewis also hosted a show on kat ok and up in
Minneapolis, though it's different calls now, and he was in Congress for a
spell. So I apparently I should have ran for Congress working up in that
building. I'd be so corrupt. Man, be like, oh, why
yes, I do want to go to your I do want to borrow your
chalet and aspen. So hey, that bag, right, So that's something
that could play out today. But exactly what it's going to look like,
not one hundred percent sure. I do know this though. Do you know
this of the city of Chicago, Man, those people are going out to
lose it. So Chicago is an interesting case because they actually have done polling
now in Chicago, and believe it or not, as a sanctuary city,
the majority of people in Chicago are not down with that, especially folks in
some of the poorer sections of Chicago feel that they're being ignored. In fact,
Chicago has now stepped forward to really rub it in. Chicago has announced
they will give nine thousand dollars to any migrants who show up in the city
to cover their rent and to help furnish their apartments, as well as providing
medical care through a seven point two million dollars deal that they struck with one
of the medical firms. So how many how many they estimate up there?
Eleven thousand migrants? Nine thousand? Uh? Alright, hold on, so
what is the shitty of Chicago spending here? Let me figure this out.
Let's see here to do two? Do the math. I should be able
to do this in my head, but it's early ninety nine million dollars ninety
nine billion dollars on rent. The city of Chicago under this thing, based
on the numbers they have, is just allocated nine nine million. That's just
the rent. And and I guess furnishings. There's gotta be some nice furnishings
right by the way, nine thousand dollars. I know Chicago's expensive, but
it ain't nine thousand dollars. Man. You can live in New York City
for well under nine thousand dollars a month. I'm pretty sure this is like
those hobo tents Ross. Do you remember the Hobo tenths where they're like,
we're gonna get some tents for the homeless people and they're only gonna cost five
thousand dollars a tent. And you're like what wow, You're like wow,
what kind of tenn is that? And you see in this light it looks
like a you know Coleman, right, yeah, it's a Colman nothing.
I'm not knocking on Coleman. I own Colvian, But I mean, you
know, for five to ten thousand dollars right right? You pay now you
pay roughly what nine thousand a month for your home for your mortgage right somewhere
around there. Sure, yeah, pretty close. What are you doing with
the night? Thousand? Go to the second hand start go garage sailing?
When do they have They've already had it, but you know you miss the
boat. But next year when they have that big the garage sale that goes
on for miles on I can't remember the highway number, but through Elkin going
up to Roaring Gap, like the whole damn road is a garage sale.
Boom done there you go. There's so much furniture, and who knows,
you may get a piece of furniture where somebody hid some money or something in
it. Or Doubloons or the guys for American Pickers will show up at your
house. He's been in nine thousand a month in Chicago, So yeah,
I look, I understand why people are ticked off, but they're not ticked
off for the right re They're not ticked off because they're going this is insane
levels of spending. They're upset because like you could have given that money to
us to waste. So there's that all right, speaking to waste, uh
waste of my time last night tuning into that NFL game. You done that.
Just I just want some excitement in my life in this weekend of NFL
action, and that was not it. Dude, halftime, I'm like YouTube
video on. I'm falling asleep. I know you guys won, but come
on, man, yeah it was well you you thought that the Chargers were
gonna run away with at the beginning, so it was a little bit exciting,
but it wasn't. Hey, it did enough to win. That's that's.
I didn't think anyone or I didn't think anyone deserved to win. If
you know, and I will say this, it's like the Minnesota Bears game,
the Minnesota and Chicago game, like every bou should have got l's you
know what I'm saying something, man, Yeah, well I'll get the rest
this week and bye week coming up, and then it gets then it gets
tougher, but anyway, we'll take it. Right. I'm just glad you
were able to, you know, make it in. So yeah, you
know, hey, I struggled, but I was actually in at work last
night standing by for the cable network, so it was nice. I got
able to got a little work in. I was able to watch a game
while I was at work. You know, tough gig. So wait,
if you're on TV and out of the corner of your eye Herbert throws a
touchdown, do you stream the F bomb on the wall? How does that
work? No? I don't really want to be painted with that brush.
I just kind of you know, Luckily we didn't have to go on last
night because there was no severe weather, so a I didn't you know,
there were none of that, and be you know, I was able to
watch most of the game, actually drove home with it on my phone and
then caught the end of it at home. And dude, did you see
the pictures they put out of the NFL replay command center? They were flowing
around on Twitter? I did not. Okay, So when you know the
office and you right where they're like, we're going to go to New York,
Right, So this is a fourteen billion dollars annual revenue industry. You
think that thing's going to look like Houston? Right? Vision Control? Yeah,
It's like, dudes were not going to like my man cave has more
screens, very underwhelming and explains a lot, but but I mean, what
do you really need really one screen? And I mean most of the well,
they don't lose anyway, they don't look at it anybody. You would
think they didn't. Sometimes sometimes you think they didn't though I know, all
right, sorry, sorry, no, I'm not going to pound on you.
You guys want it was just I wanted some excitement. This week was
all around. It was it was more I had that conversation with Dad.
Was really more of a defensive week. Actually, a Sunday especially a lot
of let's just say, lower scoring games, so a lot more defense.
So I actually kind of like and I like the weather. It's actually pretty
nice until about Friday. But I really see in the longer range seven to
ten days more sunshine and more of high pressure and dry weather than anything else.
Sunday today, chilly, this morning, this afternoon, mid upper sixties,
near above seventy for Wednesday Thursday, and then we're going to see a
front come in Friday. That's gonna be our next chance of showers week.
Low pressure is going to try to develop but drift away from us, so
I think it'll take the shower chance away by Friday night. First shot at
the weekend here looks pretty nice, mid upper sixties during the day, forties
at night. So as I'd mentioned, I think the next seven to ten
days or maybe even longer. No substantial rainfall. I'm sure everybody on the
interwebs and the xes and the twitters in the face. We saw all the
pictures of the snow in the mountains. Yes, there was snow in the
mountains. That's even gone away. I don't see any of that either,
even with this next system coming in lately. Just some showers around, but
I think they'll wait until Friday to get here. So joy, it's some
beautiful weather over the next three days. You see the numbers Nielsen put out
yesterday on the Chiefs Can Bears Chiefs Game four. No, I didn't.
This is this is the death nail of the NFL. So Nielsen reports there
was a twelve percent uptick in female viewership. That was the you know,
the the big promoted Taylor Swift and Sandy Right, all these guys are gonna
be like, well when they break up, somebody's pick her up real quick
please or start dating celebrities. Dude. Ah, it's it's the can you
go to the movie. My wife asked me if I want to go to
the Taylor Swift experience on Sunday? Oh wow, Actually, you know what
thank you for bringing that up. I'm gonna use that to tease our next
story because Taylor Swift's in the news kind of for that as well. So
thank you, sir. We'll talk in an hour. Appreciate it. Yep,
yep, you can't get away. It's uh, it was very interesting
listening to the Best Buy CEO yesterday. I'll explain coming up one six one
FM Talk w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is
Casey Oday and Carolina's Morning News where you can't escape it, so you might
as well lean into it. That's right, Taylor Swift News. But before
you turn the dial or not that anyone has dials anymore, check this out.
So Best Buy CEO Corey Berry was that the most Powerful woman's Summit.
Okay, but I'm by Fortune magazine and was trying to explain why some of
the earnings for best Buy this earning season are have been a little soft,
and she figured it out. According to Berry, funflation is to blame.
According to Barry, younger generations are more interested in experiences over tech luxuries,
and that's coming at the expense of Best Buys profits. So rather than buying
that giant four KTV, they'd rather shell out the same amount of money for
a Tailor Swift ticket in the nosebleed section because they're kind of pricey. Funflation,
Taylor Swift. Those experiences are really where people are willing to pay,
said CEO Barry. Bigger ticket items and electronics are not right now where people
are interested. The use of the term funflation refers to a trend in which
consumers are willing to shell out fun experience shell out for fun experiences over at
home products like Best Buys, TVs and computers. I mean, yeah,
look, people go out and spend their money, however they to me.
To me, I feel like having something tangible when you're done. And don't
get me wrong, I've paid. I've paid more money than I should to
go to shows. I remember the George Carlin show. I was so glad
that I did it in retrospect because he died just a few years later.
Trying to get tickets to one of his last shows. Happened to be in
Denver, and he's there, and me and my roommate at the time.
We walk over to the theater and we're standing in line trying because they were
sold out, but there might be some give backs and knowing kind of how
it works with the promotional tickets, sometimes there's give backs at the end that
didn't get meeted out and was able to get some but paid more than we
should but got to see George Carlin good time. I get it. However,
a four KTV is going to be there you get home. You know
what I'm saying. Ross, you like your four k TV? Big fan
of that? Are you big fan of the case is the dumbest thing I've
ever heard? Well, we're gonna spend you'd rather spend tickets for a Taylor
Swift show? Well it doesn't have to just be that's the example. But
no, I'll take the big st TV to put in my wall. All
right, it'll be with me for years, which will entertain me for years.
Where you family person on the street? Yeah right, so dumb?
Doesn't that to be tailored? So like pick a band you like or your
wife likes, what's the what's the chick band your wife likes? Paramore?
Right? Please, it's not even an issue. You take Michael Jackson Live
and Bucharest or whatever. Well, no, I'm they bring back Michael Jackson
from the dead for one last show. I'm still taking the TV every time
they're going to watch the show on the TV with the uh because eventually they'll
try to monetize it. There. Yeah, so that's fun, but that's
not the only Taylor Swift story. Apparently your security guy has made a decision.
So anyway, we got another hour to go. Hang on all right,
good morning everybody, and he is eight o six hour number three here
on your Tuesday KCO Day radio program, or all the night was hanging out
watching stupid people in the news. Like I'm not necessarily calling the CEO stupid.
She's probably right. I just don't understand this. So I mentioned there
that the CEO of best Buy says that the soft, the soft earnings report
is being chalked up to Taylor Swift and funflation. Basically a generation of folks
who would rather spend an ungodly sum of money to go watch Taylor Swift at
a concert that they could have just as easily used to buy a big ass
TV. And I don't know, it just doesn't track in my brain.
Don't get me wrong. You want to go to a concert, great,
I get it. A lot of concert sporting events, there's you know,
other stuff for willing to pay for. But I don't know if I've ever
been in a position where I'm like, do I want a big, old
TV or a concert experience that i'll I was trying to think of concert experiences
that I remember. For the concert experience. There's a couple that stick out.
I've been to a lot of shows, obviously working in this industry,
and I love live performances, I really do. And some of my favorite
concert experiences were not even necessarily the biggest, biggest shows that I've seen.
Like I remember seeing Fleetwood Mac during their the Big, Big Big Reunion tour
about ten years ago, with all the production and everything, and it was
good. I didn't pay for the tickets, I got them for free.
Joe Cocker was amazing in concert, a great time. But I'm just Most
of the concert experiences I remember not because I held my phone aloft in the
air for three hours taking a video that I'll never watch again. It's because
something crazy happened, like when Phil Collins walked off stage because people bought a
bunch of tickets. So that thing he tried to do where he didn't sing,
he just played drums, but all the radio stations played Genesis music in
an effort to sell tickets, and then got really upset when there was no
Genesis music. So that was an experience, but not for the right reasons.
Ross he'd been to a crap ton of comic search. Right, you
want a big ass TV or you want to you want a concert experience?
Tell you what I said, I will take the TV every time. Every
time it's I don't even have to think about it. What was like a
legendary art. So it was like ten years ago. Brian the bad board
Op gave me tickets to Billy Joel love Bill Yeah, come tod Pa or
I can't ever where he was. I can't remember because I didn't go.
So he gave me ticket wait, wait, hold on you the ticket.
Yeah. I'm a big Billy Joel fan. Yeah, giant fan, love
Billy Joel, right, love it good. Gave me the tickets. He
knew it. It'said a buddy, I got you these tickets. Surprise.
I'm like, oh my god, that's great, thanks, that's amazing.
The day the concert comes around and I'm like I can either go to the
show, yeah, or I can take a nap. And I opted for
the nap and it was a good nap. It was you gotta say this
ten years later, there's there hasn't been one second of one day of my
existence where I've been like, man, I wish or I should have gone
to that show. But now, but we were sending the reason we were
sending you to the show is to determine who in fact started the five And
now we'll never know. But it was a great Now. Oh wait,
hold on, break the news. We do know it was Antifa. Okay,
oh my god, Yeah, who saw that coming? So yeah,
if you're gonna throw in the option of you know, Billy Joel or the
TV or oh, I'm taking the TV every time every time, don't even
have to think about it. So I don't know. Maybe there's maybe there's
some accuracy to what she's saying. What she's talking about is a larger thing,
and you see generational shifts. And again, I'm not gonna tell Jen
whatever how to spend their money. That's just the reality of things. I
can judge it because we're human and that's what we do. Right. When
I see somebody walking around with you know, nine inch fingernails, I'm like,
what are you doing? Right? Or a neck tattoo. I'm like,
huh what, h okay, all right, And if you got a
neck tattoo that's on you, it's fine. I don't get it whatever,
but you know that's that's that's to be human. But if you're in the
business of catering to, you know, whatever the current crop's looking for,
you gotta have your finger on the pulse. Man. Things change. By
the way, not the only Taylor Swift story, uh, because I know
this is where you come for all your Taylor Swift stuff. Did you see
Taylor Swift's bodyguard is leaving because he's gonna go fight in the Israeli Defense Force.
This dude, that's this dude? Yeah? Or you say, I
mean that's very telling. This dude was like, huh, I could be
beheaded and immolated or hang out with these people. He would definite take the
TV. He's all He's team TV all day. Man. Now he's a
form Look, former IDF guy feels the colony wants to go back to that.
That's fine, but yeah, a little bit of it has to be.
Like you know what, I can't stand being around these bable. I'm
gonna go get shot at. But people make those decisions. I guess,
well, I don't even have to guess. I mean, we saw an
NFL player decide that he was going to forego his career for a time,
and then it turned out to be permanently so he could go serve in a
military aspect, right. So, Yeah, but her, apparently her security
guy with the uh the background there is headed back to UH to do that.
Yeah, the un the security guard who's seen in so if you see
footage of her walking to and from, he's the dude who's all eyes on
the crowd has gone home to rejoin the Israeli defense for US following the Hamas
terrorist attack. Aaron Suisa of news outlet Israel Hayom reported the guard said he
couldn't stand by while Jews and israel were being killed in their homes. Do
you think that he had to listen to Taylor swift Way in on this issue
too, because you have to assume she's got an opinion, right, I
don't know what it is. I don't know if I've seen anything formally from
her. I'm just, you know, maybe I have a feeling. If
she does have an opinion, it's not one that's based on a lot of
research. But you know what, maybe I'm being totally unfair there. Maybe
I'm being one hundred percent unfair. So yeah, that is uh, that's
the Taylor Swift section. And let me kind of spin this back to changing
priorities this. I found this fascinating. Companies are scrapping college degree requirements as
tuition costs continue to be sky high and companies are finding less value in standard,
run of the mill four year degrees. I get that, you know,
gone are the days the majority of people are leaving college with something that's
highly targeted and technical. Much of it is very open ended, which isn't
necessarily a bad thing, right, Bachelor of Arts or some you know something
you know, very open ended liberal arts degree. But a lot of it
too, is also core focused on various humanities fields, which arguably, if
you're Google or Walmart or IBM or Bank of America or Accenture, which are
all companies listed in this article, I don't know if you know lesbian theory
degrees necessarily translate into what you're looking for. At Walmart, hundreds of corporate
roles no longer require a college degree. The company says it wants to remove
unnecessary barriers while putting emphasis on experience. So yeah, I mean you still
have that. That's you know, that's a tough putt. You may not
have the degree, which also may not have the experience, and that could
be hard. But some companies are prioritizing both, like Eccenture. Accenture says
that for the first time, the majority of their entry level candidates will not
be required to hold a four year college degree, putting the priority on what
they call apprentice It's an apprenticeship, but not like they're paying, but recognizing
that this people come into the information technology services company, they're going to do
a better job over the first couple of years training these folks who have other
skill sets and have you know, survived interviews and probably are pretty sharp people
maybe would have gone to college but couldn't afford it or had other priorities in
life that they may be the types of employees they want, and hell,
they're going to be trained really in that discipline. Plus they're not going to
be running around getting microaggressed everywhere. Maybe I think that's the underlying thing here
they don't really want to talk about. Some companies are just sick of that
garbage accenture. Let's see here, eighty percent company, eighty percent of the
twelve hundred employees do not have four year degrees, and yet they continue to
thrive. Pretty telling. IBM announced they're stripping bachelor's degree requirements for more than
half of their US jobs, saying prioritization of skills over specific degrees serves the
company better. Apple following suit, Google following suit. Yeah, I mean,
they can say it's about, you know, people saddled with the costs
of four year degrees. But you know, the fact is there's a lot
of people who didn't get a four year degree who are plenty qualified and frankly
a lot smarter than some of those idiots they run around interviewing in times square.
I think the country is either ninety three years old or a billion years
old. God help us so I can understand that. And are you sitting
down gotta hand, get your hands on something. It's really important that you
don't pass out from a surprise at this next door worry one of the world's
largest carbon offset firms. All right, so these are the folks who're like,
hey, if you want to, uh, you want to show out
and you want to you you want to take that private jet and then tell
everyone they can pound sand questioning you because you bought carbon offset credits, it
might be a scam. I know, I know. Yeah, according to
New Yorker, right, so this isn't Fox News doing this, this is
moonbats all around, the world's largest carbon offsetting firm may have sold environmentally worthless
credits while secretly moving the money into investments from companies like Gucci, Porsche,
Nessley and others into private offshore accounts. According to literature from the company,
the monies which were supposed to go to help the Cariba forest protection of Zimbabwe
may instead just have ended up in offshore banking accounts and no credits were sold.
That's I am shocked. I am absolutely shocked. Also, the money
is supposed to go towards endangered animals. However, this is you. This
is the part where you're going to fall over. So, as part of
the carbon offset, a portion was set to also help the endangered animals of
this forest project in Zimbabwe, but instead the partner of the of the firm
had been so poorly vetted that rather than an annual an animal rescue organization,
an animal aid organization, and it came to light that they had they had
inadvertently partnered with a trophy hunting organization. Oh gosh, so you went save
the whales and it's the dead. You're like, ah, you know who
should save the whales our new organization, the Chinese fishing boats, right,
or the Japanese whaling boats. Right, it'scot whale in it. They're probably
there for the whales. Let's give them the money. How do you screw
that up so bad? You're taking Al Gore's money, Gucci's money. You're
gonna go save some kudu or whatever, gimbach or you know, pick your
antelope of choice. Right, you think you're saving a kudu, and instead
it's some rich Dennis from Minneapolis kneeling over a carcass. Yes, that's right.
The organization whose website, so if you go to the website that they
listen as their partner organization is adorned with pictures of hunters kneeling over lions,
leopards, hippoes, and elephants. The organization's logo is a picture of a
lion as viewed through a red dot scope promoted hunting within the Cariba Project.
Forest god Man, that's how little you care. That's how little you care.
That is amazing to me. And of course these companies in the same
way that they were stroking checks to like black Lives Matter without Karen where the
money's going. It just shows you how how little they give a crap.
Oh we're helping. Look, they got a picture of a lion. It
must be okay, yeah, but I mean that looks like it looks like
distance metering, looks like a scope, man, right, look into that.
No research done? Absolutely amazing, but hey, I'm sure they felt
better. Could you at least get an NFT of the lion? The lion
alive or dead, I mean, doesn't matter. Okay, now you get
the actual hide. Man, oh it's a rug. Screw an NFT,
you get a rug? What is even going on? And then now the
company is like, well, you know, we were very disappointed to see
what our partner was doing. I can't believe people that would invest in this
very real problem wouldn't do their homework. No, I mean went again shocked.
It's it's amazing, absolutely amazing man. You know the only thing that
could be worse is if like they invested in furries, right, They're like,
ah, yes, animal Rescue Organization here. In fact, they like
to they like to gather in hotel. They're so excited, they're so excited
they're partying. Oh wow, whoa, whoa. What is that species doing
with that other species? Why does it have a trapdoor? What is going
on? Oh man, it's just we'll tweet this out. You gotta see
this, all right, we'll send a link out at Casey on the radio.
Check it out, and we'll be back keeping you connected. This is
ninety four to five wpt I and the Triad and FM Talk and the Triangle.
Wow, that's a o. That's a good thing, dude. You
have nothing to apologize for. Ross was just telling me off the air a
new new thing that the was the Haze Global Initiative, Right, that's the
parent of this thing. Oh yeah, sure, Yeah. They've launched a
brand new so it's a moisturizing lotion for chickens. Right, So they have
a new program for all you carbon offset folks. They're creating a variety of
moisturizing booutique, you know, high end moisturizing lotions check free range chicken,
well chickens out of the cage. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
oh yeah, I wouldn't want that the organization named Ethical Animal Treatment to
uh will inviscerate genuine nature's suffering. We're working on it. Eat wings.
Okay, that's that's an unfortunate acronym though if you think about it, so,
like what kind of lotions like cama mill or mint or the color like
sort of like spicy in nature? Oh yeah, like orangish to red.
Oh okay, I guess yeah, yeah that's good. Any Italian? Uh
do you have an Italian offshoot? Maybe some garlic parmesan kind of go with
the breadsticks? Yeah? And then uh, well, I'm just saying,
you know, if you're gonna put put these uh these high end uh couture
lotions out there for the chase, is it for all of the chicken or
is it just parts of the chicken that you need to get, you know,
the whole thing, the whole Yeah, the whole chicken. Oh wow,
yeah, because what about we share that much? What about chickens in
ages? Listen, the most important part is send me your money, yes
for the lotion for the chicken. Yeah, to the Ethical Animal Treatment will
inviscerate genuine, genuine natural suffering. I think it's sounding like a great organization.
So Porsche, Nestle all the rest who were literally spending money to then.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to. I don't want to
hack on uh uh groups that because for all of you moon bats out there
are like I love animals. Do you want to know who spends the most
on habitat restoration of organizations, especially here in the US when it comes to
uh wild critters? Do you know who who who foots that bill? Sportsmen,
sportsmen and women? Right, Look, you want something if you if
there's something on the brink of extinction and somebody finds out it's delicious, there's
gonna be a whole lot more of them. Talk to the pheasants about this.
They're not even natural, they're an evasive species here in the US.
But good lord, right, running out of ducks, we got this.
Like people want to hunt stuff, are also here to put their money where
their mouth is to create the habitat and the access and everything. And that's
that's a dury little secret. Some of these groups don't like they want to
go chain their little moonbat cells to a gate. Meanwhile, organizations and hunters
and fishermen and all the rest are out there doing the heavy lift. They're
paying the fees a lot of the you know, hunting fishing licenses. Where
do you think it goes? They're various organizations. So yeah, in a
way, this company, I'm not trash on this company that literally is offering
trophy hunts there. They are probably spending a crap ton of money to maintain
this forest in Zimbabwe because it does yield this opportunity, but it also benefits
obviously, uh, the the natural environment there. I know you don't want
to hear it, but just the fact that that's where the money was going
from a bunch of woke idiots just made my day. Man, just made
my day. Fred, what's up, hey, guys, I'll do it
good, good sir. I think there's a misconception about about the red dot
and the lions. Oh yes, yes, red obviously obviously a uh one
of those uh ointers they want to get the lion to play. That's not
a scope, so that's that. That's so it's not a scope. That
is akin to somebody with a laser pointer in their living room jacking with their
cat with with that line, yeah, there's there's no uh, I'm sorry,
sure, how great is that story? How great is that story?
And they think they're saving the planet. They're helping some guy on a hippo.
Oh man, oh I just made my day, just made my day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, they're not radicals. They're uh
it's uh, it's a it's cat name. I mean technically they are getting
rid of some carbon though, right, I mean yes, yeah, no,
that hippo, that lion puts out carbon. That's a good point Ross.
This is why Ross's Global Initiative has their new chicken lotion program. Yeah,
which, by the way, when you buy the chicken lotion, and
also it's a carbon thing too, Yeah, of course, and if we
mentioned that, yeah, yeah, you'll be reducing carbon ken I should I
make donations in groups of twelve or six? Which you think would be the
better? Probably twelve? Pray twelve? Yeah we take cash. Okay have
you seen those places that want the donations to be five or ten? Who
are these people who are trying to change the game on chicken lotion and habitat
restoration or like what did wild Wings do? Or they're just like they just
have a thing, but it could be a different number depending on weight or
something that's stupid. Yeah, that's how what's yours East Coast? Is that
the one you go to? East Coast? Uh? Yeah, they've been
running a program there for years, right with the lotions for the chicken.
That's good. Ah, they're donating to that. It's wrong with people,
man, Dan, what's up? Hey? How you doing? You're gonna
talking about the four year degree thing? Yeah? Would you rather have somebody
who's, say eighteen, that've got a general foundational education ready to work?
Or would you rather have somebody who partied for four years, got indoctrinated,
is now in debt and serve as the master that is, their lender.
Who's going to be a better employee? Wo's got more potential for you as
an employer. Look, I get I get the rub, and I don't
necessarily disagree, especially if you if you feel that you can shape somebody who
has the potential to learn. But admittedly, part of this is also about
DEI stuff that people are sending me emails, and they're not wrong. This
is about companies trying to say, well, we're not going to have these
degrees. But what they're really saying is what Joe Biden said the other day,
where uh, you know where he was like, ah, we gotta
we gotta talk about people who are minorities who don't have as much education,
because he said that the other day. And I think it's a little bit
of what the companies are doing. But no, I'm with you, man.
I want somebod who's hungry, ready to learn, and looks like they
have a good head on their shoulders. I don't need to indoctrinate them.
I just need to mold them so exactly. Yeah, yeah, so I
think you got a You got a real potential winner with a high school graduate
rather than like say, a liberal arts major. And they can go get
their liberal arts degree online. Now there's no need for the traditional university system
anymore, sir. What's your favorite chicken rescue lotion? My chicken rescue lotion
is They got a place in in Derham. I don't know if I can
say the name of it, but it's like a little it's Heavenly Buffalo's and
they do, uh, they do this extremely hot, extremely delicious treatment to
these chickens, you know, to give them a better life. Yeah,
and yeah it's great. Yeah, and they like to do they prefer to
bathe in a ranch or blue cheese. So I prefer them that they bathe
in blue cheese. I feel it, really, it increases the quality of
the chickens life to do it that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well
you want them to be happy. So all right, Dan, I'll let
you get back to saving the chickens. This is a crushing blow to the
to the Hayes for share of global initiative chicken chicken lotion. Yeah, apparently
that's already a thing. People at that yeahs DIBs on our Twitter account,
Casey and the radio. Oh no, just showed a picture of the actual
product. So I'm making the executive decision. We are moving into the chicken
body lotion business. Okay, all right, the chicken body wash. That
that's my passion always, Ben, Would this be the essential oils posted there?
Is that what you're I see this? Yeah, it looks a lot
like Sarracha. No, no, it's a different one. You're seeing joykill
fun Sucker's account. Oh I see? Oh no, no, no,
I just scrolled down. Here we go, Rooster Booster pick no more cover
up chicken lotion. Okay, all right, well, look you don't have
to move into an entirely different division. The future man, Listen, listen.
We're in the black turtleneck here. Okay, listen. The future is
chicken body wash. Where we're going. He is Steve Jobs right now.
It's crazy. Oh he just just owned his daughter too soon. Yeah,
okay, all right, well everything's crazy man, not raised agic. He's
saying ish yeah with the weather for yeah, so talking about helping chickens by
basing them in delicious sauces. So what they want opened them out a lot,
right, yeah, yeah, what they need good chicken helping weather.
Yes, that's great. Yeah, the mornings are cool, the afternoons will
get milder sixties yesterday, this morning's been a little cloud around the triangle that's
start to go away, drift south toward to done in Fateville and Clinton and
going away and beautiful day, lots of sun lit upper sixties to night in
the little mid forties. And Tomorrow and Thursday mostly sunny, beautiful outdoor days
on either side of seventy degrees, depends on where you are. Friday we
may have some showers, but sun should return for the weekend. All and
all looks like a great run over the next five days and even into early
next week because even after the showers get here Friday and it clears out for
the weekend. I'm looking at the long range. I see a big area
of high pressure coming in. Beautiful weather, going to continue to help that
fall foliage. Change on over. If you're not there yet, almost there.
Some of the first know of the season, the Great Smoky Mountains,
last couple of days. That's coming to an end also, but just some
signs of the season as we head toward the middle of the month. Okay,
all right, thank you sir, talk to you tomorrow. I have
a good one. Okay, And Joan Donagher joins us next from Bloomberg News.
Hang on show. A show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search cacoday
for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. Alrighty eight fifty three. You're
Bloomberg Update now, Joan donegher in this week, Joan, what's going on?
Well, it might just be a happy holiday after all. A survey
of more than forty three hundred people from Deloitte indicates we'll spend fourteen percent more
this holiday season over last year. Consumer demand has been strong. Retail sales
last month rows more than twice as much as expected, up seven tenths of
a percent. So the survey finds even those with household incomes of between fifty
and one hundred thousand dollars plan to spend even more twenty six percent more this
year. There is a group of earners who only plan to spend about two
percent more this year. They are the ones dealing with the return of student
debt payments and a lack of real pay growth. Still, what they make
is pretty generous, between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand dollars a year.
Maybe what we're going to spend on will be more of what we've already
been spending on experiences rather than goods. That's been no I know where you're
go No, no, no, no, I know where you're going.
I'm sorry you do did we do this? Okay? Okay? Oh okay
okay. Best Buy's been frustrated by it, and they say, you know,
their sales have been slipping because we are passing up tech devices to buy
concert tickets to see Taylor Swift or Beyonce, and that is running up the
price so that they're really expensive. And Bank of America is calling it all
funflation, like they say, global You can't you just can't, but everybody
else could, because global live music revenue top twenty five billion dollars last year,
twice what it was the year before. COVID changed the healthcare world.
Now it's starting to change back. Vaccine makers and drug store chains that made
a lot of money because they were offering COVID tests and rapid tests, well,
now the number of people getting COVID shots is falling, so a lot
of these drug stores are seeing it in their results. Makers of at home
rapid tests some of them have filed for bankruptcy. Others have collapsed completely.
Companies that made masks and other protective equipment have shut down. Though the virus
has not gone away, hospitalizations from it were the highest they had been in
six months last month. In September, Big Bank CEO David Solomon has decided
he's sticking with his day job. The Golden Sax CEO last year decided that
he no longer will play DJ at high profile events. He had played Chicago's
Lollapalooza music festival in July of last year case and had been involved in an
investigation after playing a set at a charity event in the New York Sampton's and
that was during the pandemic. So he's gonna just stick to banking. Think,
get Taylor Swift to do it, huh. Get hur in there and
she can rise. You can open a vaccine company too, why not?
And she can make the money that she could put in the big bank.
So we're it's a closed circle right there. I'm I'm sorry. Look,
I've been in some concerts. I love, had a great time at Joan.
I'll take a four K TV over that concert ticket all day. You
know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. All right, all
right, thank you much. I appreciate it. Thanks there, Joan Doneager
working Taylor Swift into the report once again. I knew it was coming breaking
news. I've been inspired by Ross's chicken lotion program, and I've started my
own uh for pork and beef. It's bores and beef, uh beyond quotas.
So this is uh, this is great. You see where you look
into the future. I have some news. So it turns out we're gonna
mop them. They have their own lotion. Turns out some mustard based,
some vinegar base, some what what turns out I bought all the shares and
you're out. Why why are you going and taking a hostile takeover. We're
just trying to help the pan Hey, it's just a charity for the earth
and the children. Then you're out. I don't know, it sounds like
something else. Pack up your boxes and please leave. Oh man too soon?
All right, real quick, Chris, what's up? Hey, good
morning, Casey. Regarding the chicken lotion, First of all, is it
edible? And do you put it on the part where you choke the chicken.
The other side of that is this is a Bible idea. We can
eat all the carbon producing animals and save the planet. I'm just saying,
there's you know what, people put their heads together and come up with solutions.
They they find them. So I don't know, there's it's going to
be very safe to ingest, sir, unless you're a coward and can't do
hot stuff like the now hottest pepper in the world, which is three times
hotter than the Carolina Reaper that the guy just made. So I guess you
can go do that, all right, So much stupidity on the show today.
Oh all right, well, Ross, I'm really pumped over your uh
your animal protection thing. There you are guys are doing. That's that's amazing,
man. And some guys send me an email and he's right. He
said, Hey, any reports by reports on the turkey leg stuff with cheese,
eggs and tape. No, it's been a it's been a big disappointment,
sir. I've got nothing. So if you're going eat it and report
back to us and maybe, you know, maybe get a little of Ross's
chicken lotion on there, couldn't hurt
