00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:47.280
Remember, oh, all right,
fine, is now to its now actually

2
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:52.359
Thursday? Um, because yesterday Ross
thought it was Thursday. Yesterday Ross thought

3
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.280
it was Thursday all day. And
he also claims that all the rest of

4
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.520
the dates have been screwed up because
he doesn't realize that essentially, we have

5
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:10.640
been apparently popping in and out of
the multiverse or something, and that screws

6
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.760
up your timing. So today's Thursday. We'll do Thursday stuff, then Friday,

7
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.000
then three day weekend. You think
that's what's screwing you up, by

8
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.359
the way, the fact that there's
a three day weekend coming. No,

9
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.560
I don't think so. I just
felt like this the past week, like

10
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.959
I know what day it is.
I just feel like it should be the

11
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.519
different day. Like even when it
was a vacation that week, I was

12
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.359
like when it was when it was
Wednesday, it feels like Thursday. Right,

13
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.599
yeah, well vacation days, right, Like I get that. You

14
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.840
just like, ah, I don't
know what day it is. It's probably

15
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.359
easier for you to know what day
it is, too, because you got

16
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.879
you know, you got the kid
in school, and you know, I

17
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.760
got the wife doing stuff, whereas
I'm on vacation I'm like hacking through the

18
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.280
rainforest. I'm like, I don't
care what it is. Where's the city

19
00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.280
of gold? By hacking through the
forest, I mean watching sports and keen

20
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.239
beer. But um, yeah,
I don't know. I think we all

21
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.400
get that. But no, I
woke up this far. I'm like,

22
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.680
dah, it's only Thursday. I
don't know. I don't know what it

23
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.719
was. My body's just like ha
ha, stop Friday. It's Thursday,

24
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:20.400
loser, So it is that.
And I then I realized it's the pending

25
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:28.000
three day weekend, so my mind
has flipped over into that. So we'll

26
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.080
see. All right, Uh have
you slept, By the way, I

27
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.919
did anything of maybe five or six
hours? Not not not bad okay because

28
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.240
like prep you you not that I
care, by the way, but PREP

29
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.400
came at an interesting time. Oh
I got stuck in the drafts folder.

30
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.120
Ah. Yeah, I came in
this morning too, because you know,

31
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.039
I send myself a copy of the
prep so I see what audio video to

32
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.280
load and I was like, where
is it right? And when he set

33
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.439
folder, where is it? Like, I'm like, oh, I got

34
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.360
was with a wake up markie be
like load up my computer. It didn't

35
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.680
send and then okay, all right, not that, not that it matters,

36
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.080
because really the after I send prep, the first time I use prep

37
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.479
is like the in right before the
show, when you know, here's prep,

38
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.759
because you go through and you do
all your stuff you have to do

39
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.840
and and all of that, and
I've already read the prep, so and

40
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.520
I just noticed that. But sometimes
I see that, I'm like, oh

41
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.719
no, what happened? And then
I realized, you spend all night on

42
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.159
Facebook talking to people about their jobs. Yeah, dude, that's absolutely insane.

43
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.800
What a weird? What a weird? Like do you ever hear those

44
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.120
ads where people are like, come
to our website, do you think Donald

45
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.000
Trump should be fired into the sun? And then people go, which is

46
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:52.599
obviously a grab to get your data
so they can resell it just fyre um.

47
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.759
But it blows my mind the interaction
that like social media posts like that'll

48
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.800
get just very simple who stuff.
And I said, I don't mean this

49
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:08.080
in a negative way. I just
mean that, like people, people get

50
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.520
overly they get overly complicated on what
they think they have to post on social

51
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.560
media to get interaction, when in
reality it's just the stuff we talk about

52
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:23.160
every day. So I I saw
you on Twitter post a screencap of like

53
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.639
the response. Ever again, I'm
like, what's he talking about? I

54
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.920
go to your Facebook and I'm like, why does Ross have five hundred comments

55
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.759
on something? And all you asked
was what do you do? Right?

56
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.519
Yeah? But I recently learned because
I talked to a lot of people we

57
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.680
both do right in social media,
and I realized recently I realized that like

58
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.040
I don't really like they know what
I do, but like I don't know

59
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.160
what they do. And recently I
found out one of my friends was that

60
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.920
I talked to for a while was
in like Special Forces and they had never

61
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.120
mentioned it. And I was like, that's what you're actually in special Because

62
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.199
they never brought it up before and
it's been like years. I'm like,

63
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.480
you're kidding me, right, So
I just posted. I said, Hey,

64
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.680
I'm just curious, what do you
do for a living? And I

65
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.480
assumed, in my defense, I
assumed I would get maybe like fifty or

66
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:05.480
sixty applies. I'm sitting on the
couch and I'm doing prep right, It's

67
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.879
like seventh thirty or something, and
Marky goes, damn Ross, And I'm

68
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.759
like, oh my god, what
did I do? Like it was like

69
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.319
like I did something wrong, and
I was like, oh my god,

70
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.759
what I do because she'll put the
seat down again, right right, Like

71
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.800
what I do? And she's like, you posted this like twenty minutes ago

72
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.920
and it has one hundred and fifty
year aplies And I was planning on replying

73
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.920
to everyone, right. Yeah,
I had a courty s because I asked

74
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.399
the question. I was legitimately,
I was curious, and my brain starts

75
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.399
turning and I'm like, I'm gonna
be up all night and it was like

76
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:41.040
four hundred some replies. Dude.
I had a trouble falling asleep, and

77
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.480
one of the reasons was because,
like eleven something at night, I'm laying

78
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.839
in bed, I've got my phone. It's when you had like four hundred

79
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.319
and thirty replies or something, because
I stayed up to watch the hurricanes get

80
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.439
annihilated because that's what I do.
And after that, I'm digging through this

81
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.079
thing and I was reading it and
you did reply to a lot of them,

82
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.240
I'll tell you that, but I'm
like, why is there four hundred

83
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.120
comments? What do you do?
And then I realized that if we ever

84
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.800
need anything, we're so set,
you know, what I'm saying. Yes,

85
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:20.439
my might have had the thought.
It give me the weirdest thing.

86
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:29.759
Do you need the underside of your
ships all welded? Hey Tommy, thanks

87
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.600
for listening to some of the comments. Can handle that, that's great,

88
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.519
and some of them saying some of
their applies, like I had to google

89
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.079
what they're talking about, Like I've
never heard that word before. I have

90
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.079
no idea what you said? Incredibly
smart? Well, what did you think

91
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.680
our audience does? No? But
like like he just thought it's like slade.

92
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.439
But there's words that I've never heard
before, Like I've never heard that

93
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.240
word before. I have to google
what that is. Like these you know,

94
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.639
these words are like eight syllables.
Is your job and one word?

95
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.240
I have no idea. You definitely
have a master's degree. I mean to

96
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:08.759
be fair when people stereotype our audience, people who don't like them, Like

97
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.959
if if Roy Cooper's peeps are sitting
around having a few, what do you

98
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.639
think they drink? White claws or
something, having a few white claws and

99
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.279
they're like, you know, they're
ah all the right, you know,

100
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.600
people borrow making fun of us.
Ah, they're everybody. They're just sitting

101
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:30.079
around loading Ammo having having kids with
their cousins and all that. No,

102
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.959
no, no, no, no, no, dude, we can take

103
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:38.279
over the world, man, every
job you could possibly managine exactly. And

104
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.319
this is what people fail to recognize, both on the left and the right,

105
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.040
to be quite honest, they fail
to rect because when they see,

106
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.399
like when people send me emails and
they're you know, and and they're mad

107
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:53.000
about something a bunch of a bunch
of Democrats are happy about, and it's

108
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.079
like, yeah, you just know, all there are a bunch of chopel

109
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.480
whole college professors all that, and
I'm like, huh no, no,

110
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.040
no, no, no, no. You see, you're failing to realize

111
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:07.759
the same thing that you make grows
stereotypes on. You'd be surprised, you'd

112
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.959
be surprised at what people station in
life is and how fervent they are on

113
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.600
stuff. Right, it's not just
kids and mom's basement. And that's what's

114
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.120
dangerous if you if you sit there
and you think that your political opposition is

115
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:28.240
simply that it's people that are very
professional. We got lawyers in our audience,

116
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.799
we got doctors, we got um
teachers. Right, it runs again,

117
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:35.200
which is why I'm all I'm whenever
we're sitting there talking about teachers,

118
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.519
I don't like people to go one
hundred percent all in on on screw them

119
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.840
because I simply don't believe that,
and I actually feel worse for the more

120
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.519
positive ones. But when it gets
down to like end of the world,

121
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:54.120
walking dead stuff, right where we
have to formulate a community and defend ourselves,

122
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.559
I really like our odds. Do
you know what I mean? I

123
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.480
do. I just had to google. Another one just came in gerontologist.

124
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.879
I have no idea what that is. Is that like an old people doctor?

125
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.879
It is something like I don't but
I'm dumb, you know what I

126
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.799
mean. I'm like, I don't
know what that is. That before you

127
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.559
ever figured out how we're not gonna
like, what are we going to contribute

128
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.360
to the you know, humanity's last? Absolutely nothing. I will be the

129
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.919
court jester. That's what I will
be, which is fine. It's back

130
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.639
in the medieval times that was the
only person that was allowed to insult the

131
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.320
king, So I'm fine with that. Yeah. But if it's like,

132
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.559
ah, the zombies have taken over, what will you contribute to uh?

133
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.919
I will destroy them and beat them
with snark all right, and sarcasm and

134
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.080
hyperbole. So you're the guy yelling
from the top of the castle, and

135
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.240
next time I'm going to ask them
how much they make, just so I

136
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.720
can feel horribly depressed about my existence. Oh I don't think that's gonna go

137
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.639
quite as well. So no,
but it's guy's good stuff. I enjoy

138
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.679
seeing that. But I'm telling you, man, but if we ever go

139
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:03.519
like you know, the EMP wipes
the grid and we're back in olden times,

140
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.399
I really like our odds better.
Oh when it comes to a community

141
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.000
coming together and having skills, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, survival stuff,

142
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:18.600
yeah, absolutely, one hundred pro
cent. All right. Well,

143
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.279
anyway, so if this person works
with the PGA Tour setting up courses,

144
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.240
I saw that, I'm not gonna
lie. I thought of comment and be

145
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:33.320
like, hey, how you doing
right? Yeah yeah, yeah, that's

146
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.759
a good gig if you can get
it right there. Man, let me

147
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.399
tell you. Let me tell you
the best spot at a PGA event.

148
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:46.360
You're ready. And I learned this
when the PGA Championship came to Hazelton,

149
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.799
which is a a course in Chaska, Minnesota. So and I was so

150
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.519
doing Radio U in Minneapolis, PJ
Chat this is the one where Tiger Woods

151
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.159
and Hye Yang had a playoff and
ye Yang won. Right, it was

152
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.200
crazy, but it was the first
time I ever had like god level press

153
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.360
credentials to something. And there's you
know, you got all the media stuff

154
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.039
you got you walk on the course
with the exception of the Masters where you

155
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.159
can't go inside the ropes. Those
credentials you like, you like stand on

156
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:24.080
the green. It's crazy. But
there's also a portion of the clubhouse that's

157
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:31.879
just for wives and girlfriends, and
so it's just like whatever upstairs patio there

158
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:37.159
is just smoke shows, drinking mimosas, right, and it's a good place.

159
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.960
You got to go write something with
your laptop. It's just kind of

160
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:46.720
sit around and listen to them.
The conversations they have is mostly the wives,

161
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.360
because the girlfriends follow their man around
on the course to make sure no

162
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:58.320
other you know, there's no other
perspective suitors flirting with them. Whereas the

163
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.879
wives they got their big row and
they're up there, you know, arguing

164
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.240
colors of Maserati's and stuff. It's
great, pure entertainment. M So that

165
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.360
guy just lives that, so good
for him anyway. Six nineteen k c

166
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:18.639
O D Radio program. Um,
there was some weird jobs on there.

167
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:24.519
I will agree with you, uh
you know, and good on you actually

168
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.320
googling them, whereas I'm just like, dah, that sounds important. I'm

169
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:35.559
glad they're happy. It's just moving
on the scroll. Anyway. All right,

170
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.799
we got real stuff and stuff.
So, um, anyway, let

171
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.120
me do this. We'll take a
break, come back k c O D

172
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:48.200
Radio program. Thank you, kc
IS PTI in the Triad and one oh

173
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:56.759
six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, six twenty four,

174
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:07.600
good morning, coming up on the
show Dove the soap people. They are

175
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.440
saving gaming so that is awesome.
Ross. Are you excited somebody's here to

176
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.240
save gaming because you like the game? I mean, does it need to

177
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.440
be saved? It's pretty popular already, it's saved. They saved it and

178
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.679
stuff the process. Yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah yeah. You don't

179
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:33.679
even know how bad it is.
So we'll dive into that stupidity. And

180
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.799
we got to talk about the RHN
de Santis spaces thing. Yesterday I did

181
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:45.639
see trending was disaster d e s
a st er get it. Let's play

182
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:56.039
on his name and stuff. Um
as his presidential announcement. Uh did it

183
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.960
had a few glitches, but the
analysis is just dumb. But I want

184
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.519
to deep dive that we got some
audio and all that good stuff, so

185
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.840
hang on for that. By the
way, I was reading about this,

186
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.559
I like cool car features, right, I'm a gadget guy. Guys A

187
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:22.360
lot of guys love some gadgets.
It's crazy what cars do. And like

188
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:31.159
I had, I had a much
older vehicle and then transition to a newer

189
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:41.639
one when I first when I first
came to North Carolina, and so there

190
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.080
was like the features that were all
in there was bonkers. If you were

191
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:50.399
just used to drive in some old
classic thing where you're just like that still

192
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.639
got you know, nothing's digital in
here. It was also easier to fix

193
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.799
that. Being said, some of
the stuff just seems wildly unneces necessary or

194
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:09.600
downright dangerous. So apparently, yesterday
BMW announced that the new five series Sedans

195
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.360
will include a feature where drivers will
be able to change lanes based on where

196
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:28.559
they look. Did nobody tell them
this sounds like a horrible idea to just

197
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.440
think about this. So your car
is going to drive where you look,

198
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.679
which is already a bit of a
problem in any vehicle because people have a

199
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.200
tendency if they're glancing, it's something
to kind of like subconsciously drift over there.

200
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:43.399
But now if the car is like, oh, you want to go

201
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:50.039
over there? Okay, let me
give you a scenario. From time to

202
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.720
time. Let's say I don't know, Saturday morning or something, I gotta

203
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:03.879
go somewhere. When I lived downtown, a lot of times I would drive

204
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.320
in downtown Raleigh. I'd drive down
Hillsboro Street if I was headed over towards

205
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.759
the Kerry side of things, or
on Glenwood if I was, and then

206
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:17.840
over to if I was going to
Cameron Village to the Harris Teeter there or

207
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.120
whatever to go to the grocery store. And Saturday mornings have a lot of

208
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:29.320
like co ed joggers in spandex and
stuff. And I kind of feel like,

209
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.000
if you have a car that goes
where you look, you're going to

210
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:38.399
be a serial killer. Am I
wrong about this? Because I don't feel

211
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.840
like I'm wrong about this, So
I don't know how that's gonna work.

212
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:48.440
But apparently people are very excited BMW's
Are Cool Show. After the show is

213
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:53.919
on the iHeartRadio app search case O
Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

214
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:06.279
Um, so does that mean we
get the day off? I'm not

215
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:10.880
sure what's happening right now. Is
the stroblay going off and allowed siren?

216
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:12.920
I think it's the fire alarm.
It's the fire alarms. Can we go

217
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:19.200
home? No, because if they
say they it'll it'll turn into the situation

218
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.160
they're dealing with in the schools where
kids figured out, oh I could just

219
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:29.440
call it in a thread, we're
out. Yeah, that's a problem.

220
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.039
I don't know what they're gonna do
with that. And the fire alarms if

221
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.960
the fire alarms have these big,
the big stroby stroby things. Because radio

222
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.519
studios, right, so the actual
siren doesn't go off physically in the studio

223
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:51.279
rooms, so to compensate, there's
there's July fireworks thing. So yeah,

224
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:56.359
but who who would have lit it
on fire? There's only one other person

225
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:03.119
in the building. She may some
coffee and it didn't go well. I

226
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.160
mean, this has never happened before, So this is fun. It's something.

227
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.079
Did you hear that? Yeah?
All right? Yeah, So Megan's

228
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.519
outside my window from gun five?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I don't

229
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.480
I know she's coming in. I
don't know what to do. I don't

230
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:25.319
know what we're supposed to tell Megan
to not make coffee badly please, but

231
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.240
having you for making coffee? I
do we leave? Like? What if

232
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.400
the building is on fire. We're
closer to the ceiling than the floor.

233
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.319
I can't jump. It's like it's
seven you while you've threatened to jump over

234
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:42.640
some stories before. So well,
that's nice. Yeah, I don't know.

235
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.559
I guess I've been ready. I've
been doing this twenty five years.

236
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.079
I've never missed a shift. I've
never been late. I'm not leaving,

237
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.160
so I'm going down, going down. You're the captain. I'll be right

238
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.559
back and yeah, see it,
all right, we'll go check that out.

239
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.240
I'll feel for ten minutes or so. So all right, Ross is

240
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.119
gonna go get to the bottom of
why the building's on fire or maybe not

241
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.880
on fire, or who or maybe
he pulled it so he can go home.

242
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:18.519
I don't know. I probably not
that one. A good times,

243
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.160
good times, all right. So
well, Ross is running down the hallway

244
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:30.559
engulfed in flames. Let me hit
you with a couple of things. Dude,

245
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.640
do do doude? Do? I
hope you left the button bar right

246
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:37.559
here. He's got the he's got
the final say on audio. All right,

247
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:38.880
So, so Megan is going down
to see if there's a fire.

248
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.039
If she doesn't come back, let's
use that as an indicator. Does she

249
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:52.400
have your cell phone? He's so
good a geez fan, or give her

250
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.640
the call in number or put her
on the air and she'd just be like,

251
00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:02.759
gets on fire. Be a great
call. I'm I'm voting for for

252
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.480
leaving. I'm voting for well,
you know, for the safety of everyone,

253
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.799
the safety, yes, fan of
safety. Mm hmmm. Do you

254
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.720
know the elevators probably aren't gonna work? Actually, I think they do work

255
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.319
because you remember when they remember when
they did that all building fire drill a

256
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:23.359
few years ago and we all had
to slip it downstairs, like some of

257
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.599
us rode the elevator, and the
guy, the maintenance dude who we always

258
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.559
see, it was like, why
are people on the elevator? And I'm

259
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.759
like, well, turn them off? Then you told us it was a

260
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.440
fake fire drill. I got things
to do. I'm taking the elevator.

261
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:44.680
We're on the seventh floor. Kiss
it. So all right, Well that's

262
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.720
fun. Hey, is anybody oh
you know what ross were? Okay?

263
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:55.519
I just realized something. You know, why remembering your your Facebook thing.

264
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:57.599
There was like two firefighters in there. Yeah, there were, That's that's

265
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.400
true. So they can come save
us. E mts And so I'm fine.

266
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.160
Are all the interns on fire or
do we know? Okay, here's

267
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:17.519
somebody from another show. So yesterday, speaking of things not going as planned,

268
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:26.640
Rhonda Santis did his presidential announcement via
Twitter, and of course you know

269
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.920
everyone was losing their crap. By
the way, here is the accompanying ads

270
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:37.720
sizzle real thing he put out.
Our border is a disaster. Crime infests

271
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.839
our cities, the federal government makes
it harder for families to make ends meet,

272
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:48.079
and the president flounders. But decline
is a choice. Success is attainable,

273
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.519
and freedom is worth fighting for.
Writing the Ship requires restoring sanity to

274
00:21:53.640 --> 00:22:03.079
our society, normalcy to our communities, and integrity to our institutions. Truth

275
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.519
must be our foundation, and common
sense can no longer be an uncommon virtue.

276
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.480
In Florida, we prove that it
can be done. We chose facts

277
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:19.759
over fear, education over indoctrination,
law and order over rioting and disorder.

278
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:25.279
We held the line when freedom hung
in the balance. We showed that we

279
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:30.519
can and must revitalize America. We
need the courage to lead and the strength

280
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:36.839
to win. I'm Rondi Santis and
I'm running for president to lead our great

281
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:45.160
American comeback. So anyway, you
know, pretty much the standard stuff.

282
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.039
Quite hold on. Roster said,
what did you say? Say? It

283
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:53.000
said something might ear, I think
smoke or something. Do you think that's

284
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.599
like one of those things? It
might just be like, yes, psychosomatica.

285
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:57.720
I don't know what the word would
be, like, yeah, where

286
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:03.000
your brains? Like dah, I
just got an email Hayes for fire chief.

287
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:11.759
I don't know, because if there
is actually a fire, it's gonna

288
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:19.880
be ross screaming running from the building. Ah. So yeah, that's when

289
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:27.519
self preservation kicks in. Man did
the uh did our coworkers? She she

290
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:36.359
on fire? She come back,
says everything seems fine, okay, all

291
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.119
right, Well that's how the fire
gets you. It's like when you're on

292
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:42.920
the top deck of the Titanic and
you're like, it's nice, yeah,

293
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:45.920
nice, clear night. They're playing. They're playing like the cello and stuff

294
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.839
and the piano. It's nice.
Well, no, because it's at one

295
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.799
moment on a cruise ship where you're
up on the lido deck and there's not

296
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.599
some a hole stuff on a chair
for six hours saving it because like you

297
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.400
know, they're worried about lifeboats and
stuff. So you just have a few

298
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.720
minutes where you can actually sit where
you want to sit. It's nice,

299
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.799
all right, Well, we'll keep
an eye on the fire stuff. So

300
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.160
you know what, maybe it's that
crazy uh landlord in Duluth. Oh,

301
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:15.559
I didn't do that story on the
area. We didn't get to that yesterday,

302
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.559
did we. So here's the story
real quick. Sorry, it's very

303
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:23.160
distracting to try to do a show
when you know the all of the radio

304
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:30.799
stuff may burn down, so forgive
us. We're easily distracted. But so

305
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.440
there was a story I had yesterday. I didn't get it. But let

306
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.039
me just real quick. In Duluth, Minnesota. So you got a landlord.

307
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.519
He's got some tenants and they're in
um, well, they're not in

308
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.480
a good place. Apparently the tenants
or of the opinion that you don't really

309
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.880
need to pay rent. But then
the but then you don't have to leave

310
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.880
because you're basically a squatter now and
uh for this landlord, um, he

311
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:59.880
wasn't having that. So what is
he alleged to have done, According to

312
00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:04.759
a authorities, in the middle of
the night, he showed up. Apparently

313
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.880
the building is a it's a house
that's like in four different apartments or something.

314
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:18.319
So he showed up and lit their
apartment on fire while blasting. We

315
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:23.680
didn't start the fire, and like
he set it up to play really loudly

316
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.039
on a radio while he arsoned one
of his own units. Is what he's

317
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:36.200
alleged to have done. And even
firefighters say when they showed up that that

318
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:41.640
was still blasting while they and he
wasn't successful at it. He's not good

319
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.200
at arsoning his own unit apparently,
But yeah, the tenants were in there

320
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:52.720
and stuff. So he's charged with
lots of stuff including I don't think they

321
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.680
got him for attempted murder due to
how bad he was, but everything else.

322
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.319
Do you think that's going to be
his defense? He's like, sir,

323
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:10.759
clearly, clearly it states that I
had nothing to do, nor did

324
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:17.759
anyone here have anything to do with
the fire. It's right there. But

325
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:25.799
um, yeah, so if you
hear Billy Joel blasting, mum, just

326
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.279
know that that's it's probably all downhill
from there. So and if anything caught

327
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.599
on fire. I'm assuming it's that
server room that occasionally sounds like a jet

328
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.599
engine, but I don't know one
hundred percent. All right, six forty

329
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.880
four, Well, let me do
this. We'll take a break because we

330
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.759
got to take a break. I
got some more on the desantist stuff.

331
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.119
But by the way, it must
be so easy to be a writer for

332
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:51.920
the route. Good lord. Is
the root part of the roots, part

333
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.240
of the Gawker family, isn't it
with Kataku and all that, right,

334
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:02.640
I think they are, yeah,
yes, the same group, So you

335
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:07.880
already expected I was reading this piece
ahead of the thing. But um,

336
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.279
I mean, we do opinion here, but they purport to do journalism.

337
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:19.279
So their prediction what actually happened,
and um why I think people are misreading

338
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:26.720
it just a smidge. But that's
obviously that's obviously not uncommon because you know

339
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.920
it's politics and you know, full
guns blazing kind of stuff. So so

340
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.480
we'll get to the details on that, but real quick, six forty five

341
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:45.200
back in just a few This is
one oh six one FM Talk in the

342
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:56.319
Triangle and News Talk n w PTI
and the Triad. All right, people

343
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:02.200
sending us email, Hey guys,
probably shouldn't ignore a fire alarm. That's

344
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.200
Jennifer wrote that Jennifer doesn't like the
show. Ross wants us to stop.

345
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.000
All right, so it's not on
fire. So in the hallway ran into

346
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:11.839
the building. People Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ross want to explore it.

347
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.440
I'll say, hey, am I
gonna die? Are we on like

348
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.480
the top floor of the Titanic but
with fire? Yeah? And that's horrible.

349
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.160
They're like, no, no,
it's just a test. Man.

350
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:22.680
I hope it didn't ruin anything on
air. You were on air, were

351
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.160
you? When they do I don't
understand it because in the past where they've

352
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:32.599
done tests, like there's days of
notification because working in radio you can sometimes

353
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:33.799
have to work around it. And
then they go, well, you guys

354
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.519
got the email, right, No, no, we did not. I

355
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.160
did not get any email. Oh
man, you should have heard the stuff

356
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:48.119
Ross was confessing to thinking he was
going out. Hey man, I was

357
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.640
here. I was dedicated, didn't
even wait for one. So I say,

358
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.920
I'm staying it. What am I
supposed to do? I don't know

359
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:59.640
it. Literally. I started thinking
about how we'd have to quick fix the

360
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.400
law, get all this stuff.
I would have to throw in Dave Ramsey

361
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:07.440
for like three hours, like a
repeat show, and people send an email

362
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.039
I don't understand, and I'd be
like, well the building burned down.

363
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.480
Well it's not the only building in
town. I'm just saying, listen,

364
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.839
if it was burning down, you
would have been able to catch the whole

365
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:19.799
thing live and the Hayze for Sheriff
twitch channel, which had been uploaded to

366
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:26.599
the haze for Shriff YouTube channel.
Subscribe and hit that bell. You're now

367
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.880
hit the bell, guy, I
don't want to be hit the belly.

368
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.039
I hate to say smash the button. Yes, it just smashed, but

369
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:40.640
no sah anyway, not a coward
stayed here. Never wavered vote Hayes for

370
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:45.799
Sheriff. Will will will die in
a fire to keep the show on the

371
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.640
air. Did the producer girl on
the other stations she ran outside, she

372
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.119
went downstairs? Yeah, she left, she did. She's coming back up.

373
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.839
Are you gonna mock her for I
will know? Okay, Okay,

374
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:03.720
I mean I couldn't leave. M
dude. Ah. I wonder who the

375
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:10.839
email went to, Oh, like, who do they who do they email?

376
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:15.400
Who? Didn't afford it to everybody? And there was no signs up

377
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.000
last last time they did that they
had signs like on the elevator reminding people

378
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:27.160
that that was happening anyway. All
right, well, um, speaking of

379
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:32.000
glitches, let me get back to
this. So DeSantis is doing his announcement,

380
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:37.720
and it's pretty clear pretty quick that
things are not running as smoothly as

381
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:44.119
everyone would have liked. Um at
delays glitchy, they tried to connect to

382
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:48.039
another person at one point it didn't
work out, and and what you saw

383
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:53.960
was the um the spaces thing,
which was is not an Elon feature in

384
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.680
the sense that it actually started prior
to him coming there, but arguably was

385
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.200
the biggest test drive of them so
far. Right, this was going to

386
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.359
be the big, big, big
event. And Twitter is unusual, like

387
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:12.000
a lot of the big texts,
where they don't like if your YouTube or

388
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:19.599
your Prime Video or Netflix or obviously
want your your costs and everything. A

389
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:25.319
lot of it's rolled up in the
amount of server capacity that you need,

390
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.519
and Twitter runs really light. But
as Twitter expands into what looks like Elon's

391
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:36.720
wanting to do with big events and
television shows and things like that, they're

392
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:41.000
gonna have to get their crap together
on this. So inevitably what you saw

393
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:48.279
is you saw Twitter get overwhelmed yesterday
and I people are looked, this is

394
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.839
this is uh Ronda santis is campaign
in a nutshell. It's trash. I

395
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:59.599
think did Trump was mocking them too? Um, this doesn't I don't think

396
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.319
this. Look it's bad for de
Santists if you're if you're honest about it.

397
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:07.279
It kind of looks a little bad
for Elon. But um, but

398
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:13.440
people are like, ah see Rohn
de Santist screwed this up. No,

399
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.279
I mean he crashed the servers of
the website right to so many people willing

400
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:22.599
to watch. I don't know how
that's a negative. Now everyone's talking about

401
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.839
it, even for people who were
hate watching. Negative is like, I

402
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:32.240
don't know, fundamentally redesigning thirty percent
of the economy by um uh, you

403
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:38.359
know, jamming this Obamacare down one's
throat and then the portal by which people

404
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:44.559
can avail themselves of it. Uh
you put out a website for you know,

405
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:50.559
ten times what it should cost that
doesn't do squat Like that's a fundamental

406
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:55.200
that's a bad deal there, This
right here was this was a press event

407
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:01.920
that was very very popular. Now
ahead of it, I read some fun

408
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:07.359
articles like from the route. Ron
De Santis's governorship has featured racist attacks,

409
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:14.599
anti trans legislation, and policies that
only made COVID nineteen worse. Now he

410
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:19.119
takes his white sup excuse me,
takes his white supremacist rhetoric to the nation

411
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:24.759
by making his bid for the White
House. The Santists said to announce the

412
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:30.960
news, this is just ahead of
it with Twitter CEO and fellow bigott Elon

413
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:37.440
Musk during an online talk. Yeah, so I wonder how many people were

414
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.720
watching because they were they were happy, and how many people just were hate

415
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.680
watching. But it doesn't matter.
A person's a person bandwidth this bandwidth,

416
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:52.799
and obviously they had some issues,
but they got to it. They did

417
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:59.519
it, and he's he's in the
race now. In fact, you know

418
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:01.799
the coming up here at the beginning
of June, you have you know,

419
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:07.280
we're just a week away from this. The state GOP convention is happy it's

420
00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:12.760
in Greensboro this year. And you
got Trump, you got De Santists,

421
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.239
I mean the slate of people that
are in fact ross. Somebody kind of

422
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:21.320
reached out and was testing the water
about whether we may want to have Trump

423
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:27.440
on again. And I'm like,
well, we already talked about the movie,

424
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:31.639
so maybe this time mean time about
Kickboxer or something. Yeah, we

425
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:36.679
already did the Blood Street thing,
so I don't know maybe, but yeah,

426
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:38.159
no, of course we'll have him
or Ron or anyone they pitched to

427
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:42.320
us for that. Those are big
gets, man, it'd be stupid to

428
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.320
say no. Come on, so
we'll have to yea kickbox You want to

429
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:47.440
go kickboxer? All right, we'll
craft something if it comes to pass,

430
00:34:47.519 --> 00:35:15.840
but for now, take a break, hang out, all right, good

431
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.039
morning. He is seven h six. You're on the case O Day radio

432
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.679
program where the building is not on
fire, but for a version of the

433
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:29.800
first hour we thought it could have
might have been. And Ross's first thought

434
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.840
was to do a twitch stream.
You realize that, no, I mean

435
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:36.280
that was my first thought. My
first thought was keeping the show on the

436
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:37.320
air if there was a fire,
of course, yes, yes, And

437
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.320
then I would be like, well, how could I add extra bonus content

438
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:45.840
to this right right? And the
obvious choice was the Haze for Sheriff twitch

439
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:50.559
channel, which then would be uploaded
to the Hayz for Shriff YouTube channel.

440
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:53.559
I'm not one for self promotion,
just say with my thought process is not

441
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:59.800
and yet now you have two things
you're promoting, So you see how that's

442
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.960
it's doubled. I know it makes
me uncomfortable. It's not Admittedly I probably

443
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.079
would have tuned in so if you
could look like that MSNBC reporter with the

444
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.199
pink goggles or whatever he had stand
in front of the fire, going DoD

445
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:24.840
mostly peaceful. Uh anyway, all
right, so that's um. So there's

446
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:30.079
not a fire. Just for any
of you who maybe dipped out, jumped

447
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:34.119
in the shower or whatever and you're
re emerging, everything's fine. But if

448
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.760
there was, and it did,
I just see management like out, you

449
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.320
know, smoldering ruins coming in with
those some of those suits you wear,

450
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:45.280
like the lava suits when you're like
walking in a volcano, like the suit

451
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:52.400
Marty McFly was wearing when he crashed
into the barn. They're like, ah

452
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:53.559
see, we've solved the problem.
And it's like, I don't know,

453
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:58.039
maybe we should not make a building
that's not on fire. Nah, these

454
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.239
suits will be fine. Got a
confirmation from one of the bosses. They

455
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.320
said, oh yeah, that email. I forgot to send it out.

456
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:14.880
I got my asstue for not ceasing
somebody. The other day on an email

457
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:25.360
or not replying all the wasted people's
time? Ah, where was I?

458
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:30.559
Where was I? All right,
let me let me just bang into this

459
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:34.880
U and if there was, we'd
have to figure out who started it,

460
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:43.719
perhaps the Chinese. Microsoft announced yesterday
saying that Chinese hacker groups were able to

461
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:53.639
successfully compromise critical US cyber infrastructure that
is utilized for gathering intelligence. That's not

462
00:37:53.760 --> 00:38:01.880
good. Quote Microsoft has uncovered stealthy
and targeted malicious activity focused on post compromise

463
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:07.320
credential access and network system I have
no idea what that means, but it

464
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:13.559
doesn't sound good. And when I
say hacking group, read that as state

465
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:17.760
sponsored hackers. There's some stat I
can't remember what it was, like,

466
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:25.079
the number of times per day China
tries to hack something here in the US.

467
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:32.800
It's in the thousands. Arguably,
it almost feels declaration, a declaration

468
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:38.000
of worry, except for the fact
we probably do it too. I'd like

469
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:44.920
to think we're better at it,
um. But yeah, that's a that's

470
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:51.159
a big damn deal, because these
are the types of these are these are

471
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:57.960
this is the type of infrastructure that
if it ever did hit the fan,

472
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:02.320
so to speak, for I'm a
strategy standpoint would be among the first things.

473
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.159
There is um I don't remember the
name of it. It's the straight

474
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:19.280
um Uh south of Taiwan. It's
the largest gap opening that China has to

475
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:27.679
hit the open ocean, and it's
it's it's why strategically we have we have

476
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:31.159
so we were like we even built
a new base over there, um to

477
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:37.719
the south of it and everyone.
And it's also where like all of the

478
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:46.519
undersea cables run. It's possibly one
of the most strategic positions should we ever

479
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:52.679
find ourselves at war with China,
both from you know, ability to and

480
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:58.719
and and obviously very strategic if China
decides to go after Taiwan. It's also

481
00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:02.960
why China has been direct a lot
of their war games down there and encroaching

482
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:10.039
into what is Taiwanese waters, and
they've done a lot of it. We

483
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:15.000
don't always see it all in the
news, but it's very deliberate. However

484
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:20.400
it passes I want I can't remember
what the number is, but the percentage

485
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:28.800
of internet traffic that passes through there
is I think it's the largest passage in

486
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.519
the world for that and so everyone
knows that if it does hit the fan

487
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:40.400
those cables. Strategically, that's a
that's a problematic thing. Now who who

488
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:46.000
decides they got to cut them?
I don't know. But ultimately, when

489
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:52.440
it comes to how you how a
big world war with two you know,

490
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.559
big nations would go. Now,
it's not just going to be guns and

491
00:40:55.679 --> 00:41:01.599
bombs. It is attack of infrastructure. It's can we shut down electric grids?

492
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:07.039
Can we hamper communications? Can we
do all of these things? There's

493
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.760
there's people on the Internet that just
assume that the end of that, you

494
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:14.199
know, and the e MP is
a day away at all times. But

495
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:19.760
in reality, any any ability to
get in and do something that forces Microsoft

496
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.239
to have to reach out to clients
they're using similar infrastructure, it's gonna get

497
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.639
noticed, and frankly, I don't
know what the hell we do about it.

498
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:37.760
According to Microsoft, the Chinese state
sponsored hacking group volt Typhoon it's a

499
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:45.760
dumb name which typically focuses on efforts, its efforts on espionage allegedly compromise US

500
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:53.599
national cyber infrastructure across numerous industries that
disrupted critical communications, specifically infrastructure between the

501
00:41:53.679 --> 00:42:00.320
US and Asias. This is what
I'm talking about. Basically, it's seen

502
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:05.000
as a test run, right,
what are we able to do? They're

503
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:07.320
not going to go total in on
what they can do, but they want

504
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:15.239
to have a pretty damn good idea. Such industries in the ongoing attack include

505
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:21.239
communications, manufacturing, utility, transportation, construction, maritime, government, information,

506
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.320
tech, and educational sectors. So
basically, you know all the stuff

507
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:36.800
cybersecurity and infrastructure officials warned, and
a joint statement with international Domestic Intelligence services

508
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:40.480
that China poses a risk to intellectual
property. Do you think thank you for

509
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:45.440
putting a statement out about that.
I had long suspected that, but yeah,

510
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.679
no, that was the thing.
So maybe they're the ones who screwed

511
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:52.639
with de Santis's Twitter thing. I
don't know. There's all sorts of theories

512
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:55.800
running. I didn't think it was
funny though, because you know, equally,

513
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.760
if you hate Rhonda Santis, you're
probably one of these people hates Elon

514
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:04.599
must too, and you just blindly
do it. Did you see the idiot

515
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:08.239
from the view yesterday? Believe it
or not. They don't always know what

516
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:13.840
they're talking about. And what's great
is she you can tell she gets corrected

517
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:17.360
in her ear by one of her
producers with just her nonsense. What is

518
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:22.599
it sunny Houstin or Hoskin or whatever
her name is, Houstin. Right,

519
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:28.679
So she's on there and she's just
decided that she wants to Well, she's

520
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:30.960
got some thoughts. You know,
twenty percent of Americans are only twenty percent

521
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:35.039
of Americans are on Twitter, and
out of those twenty percent, eighty percent

522
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:37.199
of the loudest and the ones that
make the most noise. And so,

523
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:43.760
by the way, back in the
day before Elon had Twitter, do you

524
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:47.639
remember, she's not wrong. By
the way, she's not wrong that Twitter

525
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:53.239
is not reality. But I think
it's funny to see her sect now pointing

526
00:43:53.239 --> 00:44:00.519
out that Twitter's not reality. When
Twitter drove the conversation as to what would

527
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.239
be on the view, right,
and if it was on Twitter, it

528
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:07.000
was the most important thing ever and
it must be true. Right, So,

529
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:10.360
if someone somebody on Twitter was mad
at some Republican, they'd be like,

530
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:13.840
you know, America's mad at so
and so. And you're like,

531
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:16.000
well, how do you know,
Oh, well it's on Twitter. Yeah.

532
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:20.280
If you if you go on Twitter, there's a bunch of bunch of

533
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.280
accounts, they're posting the same thing
over and over, sometimes you know,

534
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:29.800
negative things, and you'd have to
remind people that no majority of people are

535
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:32.639
not on Twitter, and the ones, and even of the ones who are

536
00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:38.960
on Twitter, it's a very small
slice that are out there sending multiple tweets

537
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:45.320
a day, So you know,
it's good to remember that she's not wrong.

538
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:49.000
But then she veers here, probably
because she saw what she's about to

539
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.440
say on Twitter. You're hearing from
such a small group of people. And

540
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.800
when you compare a Twitter announcement with
Elon Musk, who I don't know what

541
00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:01.440
his approval rating is, but it's
like in the toilet, do you know

542
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:05.280
what it is? He's Oh,
I'm sorry. I was just told he's

543
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.320
more favorable than Biden and Trump,
which scares me. But I saw forty

544
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:14.440
seven percent. But when you compare
that, right, yeah, yeah,

545
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:16.760
in fact, I saw, I
know the exact thing that our producers barking

546
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:20.000
in her ear. I saw it
when I was putting prepp together the other

547
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.239
day. Yeah, he's forty seven
percent positive, thirty three percent negative.

548
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:27.360
And what they look at is they
look at that differential, like Trump's forty

549
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:32.199
five percent positive, but like forty
five percent negative because people have very firm

550
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:37.199
opinions on him. And then obviously
you have the others that are in the

551
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:44.440
I don't know. With Joe Biden, the differentials ungodly bad. It's like

552
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:49.599
a negative twelve or something, so
it's like thirty some percent positive forty some

553
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:53.119
percent negative. And so he gets
to that twelve point differential. That's that's

554
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:57.840
is really bad. That means people
know exactly who you are and what you're

555
00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:02.920
up to, and the majority of
people old don't like you. So with

556
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:07.280
Elon Musk, there's you know,
a third of the people who definitely don't

557
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:12.360
like him, but almost half do
and the rest are not really plugged in.

558
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:15.840
They just they kind of they probably
know who he is, but they

559
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:17.519
don't really have a firm opinion there. And she's just you know, she's

560
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:22.159
running this garbage and her own producers
probably they probably fired the poor guy.

561
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:30.800
But yeah, I saw that stat
then position negatively on Twitter, they're like,

562
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:37.079
the majority of Americans don't like Elon
Musk, only only forty seven percent

563
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:40.199
do well. By the way,
I don't know what the numbers are going

564
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:44.679
to be for the total traffic that
the Santists pooled, but to Ross's point

565
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:50.000
yesterday, I'll bet those numbers are
higher than what you the ratings for the

566
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.519
view are, what are the view
ratings? But maybe a million and a

567
00:46:53.519 --> 00:47:00.360
half in that day part. I'm
sure there were more than a million people

568
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:07.480
that either sampled that live or watched
the refeed or at least portions of it.

569
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:09.039
No. I saw a tweet today
going over it and they said,

570
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:12.840
like the because the people are like, oh it was three hundred thousand,

571
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:15.440
It was actually seven hundred one thousand, which is the highest at Twitter spaces

572
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:19.760
has ever been. And that's the
live space count, right, that's ye

573
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:22.000
people going back and looking at it
and those over a million that are going

574
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:27.280
to sample apart because people were looking
at the numbers from specifically the BBC and

575
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:29.039
they were like, oh, well
that was two hundred and one thousand or

576
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.119
something like two hundred thousand, but
after that was posted, got over three

577
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:37.159
million listens. Yeah, okay,
well there you go. I'm just saying

578
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:46.039
his ratings are better than yours,
man, And that's you know, that

579
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:51.880
doesn't even count the you know,
the interaction stuff right where you're trying to

580
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:55.239
where it's people listening after or people
utilizing a portion of it, so it

581
00:47:55.280 --> 00:48:00.760
gets those impressions even though people didn't
catch it live. Those numbers add up.

582
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:04.159
Man. It's like when Tucker Carlson
made his announcement members first video back

583
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.400
from when he was let go by
Fox right, and people were like,

584
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.199
why would he even make put a
message on Twitter? And they were,

585
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:12.440
well, you know, if you
look at the total views of that video,

586
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:16.599
it's bonkers. It's it's higher than
all the primetime shows on the network's

587
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:22.079
combined. Yeah, and then people
are like, well, we don't Maybe

588
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:29.159
they only watched one second of it. Maybe, but probably you ever watched

589
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:35.960
one second of a video one second? Really, you may not watch all

590
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:37.320
of it. Probably you don't watch
all of it, but you go there

591
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:44.880
for whatever the meat is. Maybe
you're fast forwarding or whatnot. So yeah,

592
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:47.599
I think they really appreciated that those
two were kind of in a singular

593
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:52.719
space so they could direct their fire
there. But that's not even the biggest

594
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:54.800
news. No, the biggest news, and we'll get to this is the

595
00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:00.840
soap people over Dove have saved video
games. I know you're very concerned,

596
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:07.280
so um, we'll explain how coming
up here on the k c O day

597
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:13.519
radio program Smart Talk All Day,
not five w PTI and the Triad and

598
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:20.559
one oh six one FM Talk and
the Triangle. So even though companies out

599
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:28.039
there you can you can, you
may not see it overtly, but many

600
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:34.199
are sitting there and they are very
strategically planning how they're going to handle Pride

601
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:37.719
Month because normally, what is the
corporate response to that? Right, you

602
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:42.239
change the logo on your Twitter,
not all of your twitters, not the

603
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:45.679
one in the Middle East, but
um, you know, all the other

604
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:52.800
ones get a little rainbow infusion there
post about right, and even people that

605
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:58.679
are you know, if you're some
figure in you know, some big LGBT

606
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:05.679
organization, right, you know,
they don't mean it right, they don't

607
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:08.800
care, so I don't know.
I even even those folks would have to

608
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:12.719
sit there and kind of roll their
eyes. But maybe it's just because they're

609
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:17.559
obeying that that feels good, um, but many other companies are are looking

610
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:21.559
at downplaying it. You know,
Target is obviously they're in a rock and

611
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:25.840
a hard place having to move their
some of their pride stuff to not be

612
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:30.639
a right when you walk in the
store kind of display that I don't know,

613
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:37.199
some people were not cool with you
selling women's bathing suits with tuckable options

614
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:43.440
and features and overtaking the kid's clothing
section with rainbow stuff. Right, They

615
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:49.320
just they felt like enough is enough. And as a result now they said,

616
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:52.960
it's because people were coming in and
threatening the physical harm. They're they're

617
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.320
folks, and it is funny to
watch the hand ringing there. We're like,

618
00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:00.000
people were getting angry with the U
with the clerks there and they don't

619
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:01.639
control it. And I'm like,
I don't know, have you ever seen

620
00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:07.800
any protest ever on the that you
see with some of these activist groups on

621
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:10.920
the left. I'm not saying it's
okay. I'm just pointing out that it's

622
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:16.800
stupid in the in the sense that
you see this. And maybe it's just

623
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:22.199
customers saying what they think, but
some companies, nah, they're all in

624
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:27.559
still north face. We got that
story coming up in dub and I'm gonna

625
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:31.000
lay all of that insanity out for
you coming up right after the news.

626
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:42.559
So hang on one oh six one
FM Talk and nine four five w PTI,

627
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:46.599
two stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and

628
00:51:46.840 --> 00:52:00.800
Carolina's Morning News. Okay, some
thirty five and let's get to this.

629
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:13.320
So Dove has announced a new initiative
to quote save video games. Apparently they

630
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:22.679
need saving. So they initially announced
this back like two weeks ago, but

631
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:28.320
now they've started putting content out and
it's, um, it's something man in

632
00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:30.119
fact, roster. We're gonna retweet
the video or did we post that on

633
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:35.679
the side. I didn't even look
this morning. I'm sorry because it really

634
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:37.559
didn't have any audio. It's just
there's no audio. I just retweeted the

635
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:39.880
story with the video. Okay,
yeah, you can go watch this video.

636
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.840
So let me give you the crux
of this video. So in the

637
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:46.119
video, you see what looks like
a standard video game. You got a

638
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:52.000
female protagonist. She's you know,
she's got like an armor suit thing on

639
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:57.880
right, and she's fighting um,
you know, some monster. Right.

640
00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:01.440
It's just a quick cut to that. She defeats said with one one swipe

641
00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:07.760
and then it and it's all animated
obviously, and it does this like you

642
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:10.119
know that that thing where they're like
cut right, like they're filming. You

643
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:15.519
see the green screen go down.
She thumbs up the monster actor or whatever,

644
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:20.920
and she goes into her dressing room
and she looks like a video a

645
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:25.480
female video game character you'd see,
right. I don't even think she was

646
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:30.360
did you. I didn't even think
her character was quote overtly sexualized in the

647
00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:34.480
way she was displayed. Right.
No. It wasn't like an old school

648
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:37.800
like Laura Croft or anything. No, but it was like a typical video

649
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:42.079
game character, you know, in
shape fit, yeah, wearing armor,

650
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:45.760
running around because she's running around fighting
all the stuff. Right, goes into

651
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:50.840
her dressing room and she takes off
her armor and all of a sudden,

652
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.719
it she looks like one of those
mattresses that they mail to your house and

653
00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:00.000
you open right, and she's just
like, ah, relax, right,

654
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:05.480
and she's looked and she kind of
glances up at like a figurine of herself,

655
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.280
but with the armor on, so
she's all quote you know, right

656
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:14.559
sized, when in reality she's um, you know, she she appears to

657
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:17.480
have a more I don't want to
say she's she's fat, but she she

658
00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:23.599
obviously is a bigger She's bigger and
um. In the ad, she then

659
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:27.440
like you can hear the buzzer hit, like all right, we're back,

660
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.599
we're filming again, and she makes
the decision not to put her armor on

661
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:35.079
and then just rolls out like that
and then that's that's like the kickoff thing

662
00:54:35.159 --> 00:54:39.519
for Dove and they're all about,
well, we uh, we're changing the

663
00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:45.960
over sexualization of women as video game
characters. Huh. And it's just so

664
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:49.679
dumb. It's incredibly dumb video game
doesn't They don't need saving. If anything,

665
00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:52.280
they need to become less political a
little bit. When I play a

666
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:54.239
video game, I don't want to
be me right, I want to be

667
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:58.679
like you sent me yesterday. In
regards to the story the cover of the

668
00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:01.840
Old nes Country game, right with
the special Forces guys that are jacked you

669
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:05.199
know what I mean, with their
machine guns, and yeah, that's what

670
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:07.760
I want. But even if they're
saying we need to stop that, there

671
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.960
are tons of games now where you
can create your own character. You can

672
00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:14.280
make it look just like you.
You could adjust to wait, the hair

673
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:16.400
color. Do you even have that
game Cyberpunk they came out, Remember it's

674
00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:22.679
a big controversy then where you could
make a guy, but then it had

675
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:27.800
you create what was downstairs and he
didn't have to have a sports car.

676
00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:31.840
Yeah, you can. You can
adjust the shape of the sports car in

677
00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:36.920
the character creator. Once again,
the sports car on the show's code for

678
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:40.159
something else male male park. Yeah, so it's like what are they even

679
00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:44.679
talking about needs saving? You can
make your character look just like you.

680
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:47.079
You can have an small version of
that in Cyberpunk. By the way,

681
00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:50.719
I guess it. I never played
through it. I guess in some ways

682
00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:54.360
it affects certain cut scenes in the
story. Okay, because he or she

683
00:55:54.599 --> 00:56:00.320
or there or there do hook up
eventually in the story, and it'll affect

684
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:02.880
butn't The bigger problem with that game
is it didn't work when it first came

685
00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:06.079
out. Yet it's fixed now.
It's great. Yeah, no, no,

686
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:07.159
I'm sure it is. But like
that's another that's you want to do.

687
00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:10.119
You want to say, video games, that's a thing that keeps happening.

688
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:13.519
Yeah, how about when you release
a video game, you make it

689
00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:16.320
complete so when I when I download
it, I don't need a day of

690
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:21.880
uh you know, patch to fix
everything that should have been fixed when the

691
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:23.639
game came out. That's that would
be a good thing. So in the

692
00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:25.719
day, you would buy a game
and you would put the cartridge in the

693
00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:30.440
in the in the console and you
would play the game. But the but

694
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:37.199
to you, to your point,
um, it's escapism, right, and

695
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:43.079
and and what I what I was
excited to see is you had people who

696
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:47.280
across all walks of life who were
like this is dumb, and especially the

697
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:51.519
women who are like, no,
I look more like the girl with the

698
00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:55.360
with the armor off, but I
kind of like running around looking like the

699
00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:58.960
girl with the armor on. Do
you know what I'm saying? Right,

700
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:00.639
that's the way you play games,
right, Yeah, it's a way to

701
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:06.320
escape. So you know, Ross
and I running around like looking like the

702
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:10.039
dudes from the front of the contrabox. But yeah, so envision basically all

703
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:15.000
the guys with Schwartzenegger and Predator,
right, Ross and I don't look like

704
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:19.920
that, the Ross says he does, That's what he wrote me back.

705
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:22.320
But I mean you can if you
want to even that the scenes Row came

706
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:25.159
out and I streamed that on the
Haze for a Sheriff Twitch channel check it.

707
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:30.400
But and I made the character dig
Bickhams and Dig Bickham's is anything but

708
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:32.760
fit, right he was. This
character was grossly overweight, The hair was

709
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:37.159
insane. Who was it wearing pants? You know? You can do whatever

710
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:38.679
you want now, so what are
they even talking about? Well, that's

711
00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:42.760
how you come into the office,
right, Trying to make it true to

712
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:45.920
life, Okay, as accurate as
possible. No, but yes, that's

713
00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:50.239
you have the character controls, you
have all of this stuff. I mean,

714
00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:54.840
this is this ain't a thing.
It's gonna be very interesting is when

715
00:57:54.880 --> 00:58:00.400
they turn this very same attitude on
like manga and animal stuff because I don't

716
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:05.360
know if you've seen some of some
of those, um and, uh,

717
00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:09.480
they're not going to give a crap. You're if you ever go over to

718
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:15.320
Japan, try to find a fat
Japanese person and that's not a sumo wrestler.

719
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:20.679
They don't. They have zero time
for your crap. But here's the

720
00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:24.639
other thing. Since you want to
get into all these technicalities a woman or

721
00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:28.760
a man for that matter. But
since they went with women, let's let's

722
00:58:28.760 --> 00:58:32.199
go with women. Um, since
you're since you want this to be more

723
00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:37.159
true to life, forget the monster
aspect of it. If you have a

724
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:45.239
woman who's fifty pounds overweight, the
chances of her running across the world,

725
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:50.960
Uh, you know within the video
game, full speed, NonStop fighting and

726
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:58.360
you know, flipping and like,
that's not reality. That's not the reality

727
00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:00.719
of how that person would move.
I mean, granted, in video games

728
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:08.000
we exceed reality because it's a video
game, because it's escapism, but now

729
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:14.559
Dove is all in on this.
They Eventually she re enters the battlefield dressed

730
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:19.679
as she actually looks, slamming the
door behind her and knocking down the post

731
00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:24.519
over sexy self. The ad claims
that sent seventy four percent of girls say

732
00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:34.079
they're underrepresented in video games. Really, how with what Roster has pointed out

733
00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:37.440
where you can make your own character? And two, what do you do

734
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:42.320
you think guys are are represented in
video games? Look at male protagonists in

735
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:46.880
video games, they're equally and you
know in in games are different, Right,

736
00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:53.440
Sometimes they're a tiny little Italian plumber. But when you get into Late

737
00:59:53.519 --> 00:59:58.320
hit Man, the Hitman series,
right, most dudes don't look like that,

738
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:02.920
the contra guy. Most guys don't
look like that. When you're selecting

739
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:06.920
your carrier, if you play Diablo, right, do you want to play

740
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:13.320
Barbarian? Most people don't look like
you know, brock Lessner or Yeah or

741
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:19.280
Jason Momoa. Yeah, those are
the characters that people go with. So

742
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:22.559
they put this whole stupid video out
and I'm just laughing while watching it,

743
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:30.360
and I gotta read this part of
their website. So with our partners Epic

744
01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:35.320
Games, Unreal engine and women in
games. We are working to train game

745
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:39.559
creators, developers, and artists all
around the world to create a broader representation

746
01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:46.840
of women in gaming. Really,
do you think some game is somebody who's

747
01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:52.599
getting worked like a dog one of
these game companies, because you always hear

748
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:55.800
these stories when they're getting ready to
launch, right, doing one hundred,

749
01:00:57.000 --> 01:01:00.920
one hundred and twenty hour weeks and
stuffy it's called crunch. Yeah. Do

750
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:04.159
you think they give a crap they
want to sit in on your little training

751
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.880
thing? Not a chance. So
as a result, Dove decided to put

752
01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:15.119
their money where their mouth is and
they've created the world's first game specifically designed

753
01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:22.360
to empower young girls with body positive
messaging. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

754
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:28.639
yeah. Super You is what it's
called, and in the story, the

755
01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:34.519
first of its kind, it will
lead gaming girls in gaming to experience their

756
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:39.199
true selves instead of aspiring to unrealistic
beauty standards. The game takes place in

757
01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:45.480
quote the Academy, a school for
kids with superpowers that's under siege by a

758
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:50.880
group of rogue students spreading negativity,
which sounds like the worst boss ever,

759
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:55.079
by the way, but also,
well, they have superpowers, so already

760
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:59.920
we're in the world of escapism.
Ross, you've got to stream this thing.

761
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:01.239
It's not a ROADBLOCKX or whatever.
You gotta stream this. See,

762
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:07.039
I won't two roadblocks. It has
a listen. I won't let Lincoln play

763
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:14.000
Roadblocks because it has a reputation for
sort of being like a platform that where

764
01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:20.480
groomers will hang out. Like I
rather him play like Red Dead Redemption two

765
01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:23.079
or you know, the new Star
Wars game, then go on Roadblocks.

766
01:02:27.360 --> 01:02:29.840
Yeah, I had read something that
well. I mean, but that's you

767
01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:32.800
know, that's inherently a problem in
any of these big open world things.

768
01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:38.360
Um, yeah, I don't know
how you're gonna but you don't want to

769
01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:40.480
play. You just don't want to
play the game. Right. Plus it's

770
01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:45.239
absolutely horrible. I mean, in
this stupid argument they're making it Maybe you

771
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:47.559
could have made that argument twenty years
ago, but gaming has evolved so much,

772
01:02:47.719 --> 01:02:53.159
Like it said the character creator,
what are you talking about? Yeah?

773
01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:59.440
Also, what students spreading negativity?
Like that's your opposition? Those are

774
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:04.239
the people and how are you going
after them? Right? You can't have

775
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:07.760
them running through a school murdering people, or or you gotta ask yourself,

776
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:13.159
what the hell are you doing dove. So what you're coming, you're having

777
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:17.480
like interventions with them and stuff.
Yeah, take them over to a safe

778
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:21.960
space. See how you made Debbie
feel? Oh yeah, I can't wait

779
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:24.719
for this all right? Seven forty
seven race stagic from the Weather Channel.

780
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:29.239
Almost didn't get to talk to you
today, sir. It's actually Ken in

781
01:03:29.320 --> 01:03:32.320
for racing. Oh Ken, I'm
sorry. That's right. The fire alarm

782
01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:36.039
was going off and apparently nobody told
us there was a test, so we

783
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:38.960
thought the building was on fire.
Oh wow. Yeah, it's been quite

784
01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:44.039
a morning round here, so anyway, but is it good your buildings on

785
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:47.000
fire? Stand outside? Weather?
That's the question. Well, today and

786
01:03:47.119 --> 01:03:51.599
tomorrow we've got a couple of pretty
nice days, although a few extra clouds

787
01:03:51.599 --> 01:03:53.639
around this morning, but I think
we'll see some sunshine mix in as we

788
01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:58.559
head through the day. Breezy,
mild today, middle seventies, low fifties

789
01:03:58.599 --> 01:04:01.239
Tonight. Tomorrow again I think more
clouds and sunshine, breezy, but still

790
01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:04.320
rather miles. Still a pretty nice
day, temperatures into low seventies. But

791
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:08.960
as we get into the weekend,
area of low pressure expected to develop off

792
01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:11.480
the southeast coast, and as a
result, that's going to kind of keep

793
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:14.760
us into clouds, breezy, cool
conditions, and we are going to have

794
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:17.159
a chance for some rain over the
holiday weekend. I think the best chance

795
01:04:17.239 --> 01:04:21.639
is going to come Saturday afternoon through
Sunday, and then rain chances will start

796
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.920
to lower as we look to a
Memorial Day itself. But high Saturday only

797
01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:29.800
expected to be in the low sixties
and upper sixties ton year seventies Sunday,

798
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:31.880
but I think we'll be back into
the upper seventies with some sunshine for Memorial

799
01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:35.360
Day. Just a slight chance for
a shower storm Monday. All right,

800
01:04:35.400 --> 01:04:39.639
thanks again, appreciate it, and
all right, we'll come back. I

801
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:42.719
mentioned that Dove was one side of
it. We also have the North Pace.

802
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:45.800
They're all in, they're doing their
thing. We'll get that story for

803
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.800
you. And I don't know if
this is just a rumor or what,

804
01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:58.880
but who would replace Diane Feinstein in
the short term. Apparently Gavin Newsom has

805
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:09.639
an idea. I'll explain coming up. Hang on your day smarter one oh

806
01:05:09.800 --> 01:05:15.960
six one f them Talk and news
Talk nine four five PTI more with Casey

807
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:21.480
starts now. Yeah, So the
reason I'm pointing this stuff out with dove

808
01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:26.039
and then this north face had in
fact, let me get the ad rady

809
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:31.400
to play here is because of what's
going on with bud light, which by

810
01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:34.840
the way, we do have we
have some numbers that are not just weekly,

811
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:40.320
but somebody finally crunched all the numbers
going back to the from the day

812
01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:46.000
of release from the mulvany thing to
now and it's staggering. Companies are looking

813
01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:49.719
at this and they're battling. They're
battling in their brain. What is,

814
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:57.559
um, I will say, is
a devious and very very very high brows

815
01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:05.360
successful thing that activists have done.
And um and this is frankly, this

816
01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:12.320
is this is where the GOP founders
on stuff one, because I think inherently

817
01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:16.159
more people on the right are of
the opinion that really you shouldn't have your

818
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:21.800
fingers and everybody's business. But still
they do on occasion, but not to

819
01:06:21.840 --> 01:06:26.960
the level those on the left will
do. Right, they'll infiltrate, they'll

820
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:31.280
infiltrate the totality of education because they
realize they have an audience that can't go

821
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:38.039
anywhere and they can do whatever they
want essentially, and that's why you know,

822
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:41.800
school choice is such a big conversation
piece right now, you get into

823
01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:47.000
higher education, and uh, you
you see where everyone's mindsets at. You

824
01:06:47.039 --> 01:06:56.119
see the controlling of the digital public
square and and everything. Everything that happened,

825
01:06:56.199 --> 01:06:59.519
and eventually Elon Musk decided he was
going to come in and buy Twitter

826
01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:02.519
and one of the things that's behind
the scenes. But I think more people

827
01:07:02.519 --> 01:07:14.079
are finally catching onto is setting up
these equity scores. Right And I'm not

828
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:16.639
going to deep dive what all the
elements of it are, but basically,

829
01:07:17.119 --> 01:07:24.199
you got to tick these boxes and
those scores much like your credit rating might

830
01:07:24.239 --> 01:07:29.079
be used for when you want to
get a home loan. These scores are

831
01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:35.679
utilized by the companies that do the
carry financing, basically the financing. The

832
01:07:35.719 --> 01:07:42.280
big corporations utilize the moneys that they
use to do the day to day especially

833
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:46.280
if they are if they have like
a window or most of the revenue comes

834
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:51.519
in, so they're not using their
own money to go about their day to

835
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:55.880
day business. So I saw somebody
break this down for a few companies and

836
01:07:55.880 --> 01:07:58.760
said, basically, if they didn't
have access to these lines of credit,

837
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:04.480
the model wouldn't work for some of
these big corporations. So the people control

838
01:08:04.519 --> 01:08:10.960
those lines of credit. That's where
they've infiltrated. And these companies have basically

839
01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:16.640
been put on notice that if they
don't meet these diversity scores, they're not

840
01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:18.880
going to have access to this or
they're going to have to go to a

841
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:24.479
secondary market where it's going to be
more expensive to them. So companies balance,

842
01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:29.479
whether you know, putting out this
schlock which they don't necessarily believe in

843
01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:35.800
is more, is better for their
business model than irritating a segment of the

844
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:40.960
audience. And up until now,
the first thing's won because people really didn't

845
01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:44.640
boycott. But budd Light was a
cautionary tale. Well, now as you

846
01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:48.239
head into the month in which most
of these companies do all that, they're

847
01:08:48.279 --> 01:08:55.399
having to figure out what they're gonna
do, and it's going to be very

848
01:08:55.479 --> 01:09:00.479
eye opening to see what those decisions
are that they make, and um,

849
01:09:01.079 --> 01:09:03.079
people are going to be following it. Let me do this. I'm gonna

850
01:09:03.079 --> 01:09:05.279
give you the bud Light numbers real
quick, and then we come back.

851
01:09:06.399 --> 01:09:12.640
Oh crap, we up mark coming
up too. All right, I'm gonna

852
01:09:12.640 --> 01:09:15.760
get to We'll do the north Face
thing later just because I need the amount

853
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:18.239
of time to play it. Because
it's it's good to the last drop in

854
01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:25.960
in the in the pandering the bud
light numbers though, is crazy. Their

855
01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:30.880
market value, according to an analyst, since April first, has plunged fifteen

856
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:41.399
point seven billion dollars. Fifteen point
seven billion dollars. That is a twelve

857
01:09:41.439 --> 01:09:48.239
and a half percent volume decline over
an annualized basis. That's that's a that's

858
01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:54.439
bonkers. And companies are looking at
that, and they're looking at these these

859
01:09:54.439 --> 01:09:59.920
scores that they have to meet,
and um, let's just I'm sure there's

860
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.920
some very nervous conversations happening in a
lot of boardrooms right now. I'll get

861
01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:06.399
you the North based stuff. We'll
talk a little of this with Mark,

862
01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:12.359
although I can talk to Mark about
him jumping into the governor's race. Mark

863
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:54.479
Walker joins us, coming up next. All right, good morning everybody,

864

of cover, a lot of ground to

867
01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:15.640
cover with our next guest. Um
as a former congressman and now uh North

868
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:23.159
Carolina GOP candidate for governor, Mark
Walker joins us this morning. Mark,

869
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:27.479
How you doing, man? I
am doing well. I am literally right

870
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:31.800
this moment dropping my daughter off at
school for the last time in her junior

871
01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:35.079
year. So a little bit or
sweet, but but doing will that's a

872
01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:39.000
good thing you added that for the
last time. It's how you just you

873
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:44.479
ditch her? What but else she'll
she'll be driving this summer and she's often

874
01:11:44.600 --> 01:11:54.920
rolling. So but yeah, it's
it's I'm sorry, Mark, Yeah,

875
01:11:54.960 --> 01:11:57.399
I'm here. Are you okay?
Oh yeah, I do just sound like

876
01:11:57.439 --> 01:11:59.920
you cut out there for a little
moment. I was just a night wore.

877
01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:03.640
Now the kids driving, Yeah,
just grabbing the clay next keeping togethers

878
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:08.199
dead. But we're doing fun.
You guys doing okay? Well, h

879
01:12:08.399 --> 01:12:11.159
yeah, you know, just another
day in Paradise. The building. We

880
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:15.359
thought the building was on fire earlier, but we've determined it's not. So

881
01:12:15.920 --> 01:12:20.039
I didn't know that your program had
been that that special disc first couple hours

882
01:12:20.119 --> 01:12:23.920
or what. So, yeah,
like the place that well let me,

883
01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:27.720
uh, let's let's go ahead and
start with you know, the big thing.

884
01:12:28.039 --> 01:12:30.880
Um. Obviously, on Saturday you
had your event, you announced that

885
01:12:31.319 --> 01:12:39.880
you were seeking the Republican nomination for
governor. Um. Why we'll just start

886
01:12:39.960 --> 01:12:44.640
there. Why Why why Governor?
Yeah, I think it's a very important

887
01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:48.399
question. I think there are some
crucial issues that are state is facing,

888
01:12:49.000 --> 01:12:53.279
and I also think that there are
more and more things that the state can

889
01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:56.880
do to push back on the federal
government without getting the weeds. There's three

890
01:12:56.920 --> 01:13:00.880
bigger, large issues here, but
one is economic security, being able to

891
01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:06.199
really push forward our manufactures or recruitments, our ports and push back on the

892
01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:10.800
mandates. There are a lot more
details of what we can do with our

893
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:17.319
community colleges in providing clearing up the
labor shortages. The other huge issue is

894
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:21.800
education. We're on the precipice of
funding the students instead of the systems,

895
01:13:21.840 --> 01:13:28.239
but to be able to know how
to be able to not allow the federal

896
01:13:28.279 --> 01:13:30.479
government to come in with the different
mandates, with the different regulations. And

897
01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:34.520
then the third point that we're very
focused on is protecting our children and families.

898
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:40.239
There's people in the academic world right
now, people like Dane Wicker I

899
01:13:40.239 --> 01:13:45.960
don't mind using those names, that
are really pushing these surgeries and this trans

900
01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:48.319
movement on people as young as are
six or seven years old. That's a

901
01:13:48.359 --> 01:13:51.399
battle that we've got to be got
to fight. And I think the thing

902
01:13:51.439 --> 01:13:57.560
that separates us is that I'm the
only candidate that's that's ever led a successful

903
01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:00.960
business and the only candidate that's led
a church. I'm the only candidate that

904
01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:06.399
ructually became the first candidate in history
to lead the largest caucus in all the

905
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:11.560
US Congress after only one term.
And I think you have to have somebody

906
01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:16.680
that understands the administrative skill set.
Speeches are important, but when you're managing

907
01:14:16.760 --> 01:14:21.399
legislative bodies, you have to have
a background of understanding how that functions.

908
01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:25.800
And I think with all that coming
together, I think it really wants to

909
01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:28.880
dust settles. This is not going
to be something that we accomplish overnight,

910
01:14:29.359 --> 01:14:31.039
but over the next seven or eight
months, as people look at who is

911
01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:34.640
the best person to beat Josh Stey, which looks like the Democrats, I

912
01:14:34.680 --> 01:14:39.479
think we're going to come out in
front. All right, Well, you

913
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:44.359
know the reason I have you on
is because I'm going to dive into stuff

914
01:14:44.359 --> 01:14:45.640
and you don't seem to mind it. So let's go ahead and do this.

915
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:48.680
Because you know the kinds of emails
that I get, and I'm sure

916
01:14:49.039 --> 01:14:53.359
people have asked you the same thing, where Basically they say, we already

917
01:14:53.399 --> 01:14:57.720
have the candidate that we want.
Why are guys not just you, but

918
01:14:57.800 --> 01:15:00.520
also Dale Fallwell, why are they
getting in? And you're going to make

919
01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:08.279
this an expensive process for Mark Robinson? So help help people understand why that

920
01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:11.399
is, because I think it's a
fair question, and people get very tribal

921
01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:14.880
about this stuff, just like a
Trump to Santis. So why why do

922
01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:18.239
you think you're you're the guy when
there seems to be a front runner out

923
01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:23.560
there? Well, well, I
will tell you this. The last two

924
01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:27.279
and a half years, we've run
a very successful business, political consulting business.

925
01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:29.800
I don't want to walk away from
that. I don't want to walk

926
01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:32.920
into twenty twenty five million dollars potentially
that this design and I know how the

927
01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:35.760
Democrats play it, not just to
beat you an election, but they wanted

928
01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:39.800
to ruin you, to destroy you. So it's not something that you're just

929
01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:43.199
flipping and flipping about. Frankly,
been able to do some things for my

930
01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:45.760
family the last two and a half
years that I've never been able to do

931
01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:47.800
before. This is that I get
it. Not trying to sound too martyrdom

932
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:53.760
here, but it's important to remember
that in this state only thirty percent of

933
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:58.520
the voting registrants are Republicans. You
have to have somebody that knows how to

934
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:00.640
build bridges into the unaffeeling. Now, at the same time, I'm the

935
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:04.680
highest rated Conservative to ever serve in
the top four leadership positions in the US

936
01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:08.800
House. I'm very proud of that. I'm very proud that I earned the

937
01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:13.159
respect my colleagues to navigate to get
to produce results for the people of North

938
01:16:13.199 --> 01:16:17.439
Carolina. If you have somebody running
that's never produced anything, that's never let

939
01:16:17.479 --> 01:16:21.840
anything, that's never manage anything,
we have to remember that this is about

940
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:27.600
results, not just rhetoric, and
you have to have I'll give you an

941
01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:32.680
example. I'll be the first Republican
gub gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina history that

942
01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:38.840
has support of black college leaders.
That the reason that's important is you have

943
01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:44.119
to find ways to take our message
of individualism conservative Judeo Christian principles. Was

944
01:16:44.199 --> 01:16:47.720
teaching an entrepreneurial class two months ago
at the largest black college in the country,

945
01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:51.359
happens to be North Carolina. A
and T talking about not falling prey

946
01:16:51.399 --> 01:16:56.880
to the victimization role. If you're
not even allowing these campuses or even allowed

947
01:16:56.880 --> 01:17:00.319
in these circles because of rhetoric,
because of all the names and attacking different

948
01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:04.640
communities. It doesn't bode well in
North Carolina when you're trying to win a

949
01:17:04.680 --> 01:17:09.680
general election. Remember Casey there,
for the last thirty one years, twenty

950
01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:14.560
seven of those years, we've had
a Democrat in the chief executive mansion leading

951
01:17:14.600 --> 01:17:17.760
the state. You have to have
somebody that strong and conservative principles, but

952
01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:21.039
has the ability to lead, has
the experience of lead, that has the

953
01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:25.119
background of leadership. That's going to
be crucial, and I think that's what's

954
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:30.199
going to separate us long term.
But you obviously you know that the very

955
01:17:30.239 --> 01:17:33.760
same writers who I remember reading there
was a USA today did that piece about

956
01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:38.359
you and your work with black colleges, Those very same writers, when it

957
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:42.960
comes down to it that you were
a congressman in one district, those people

958
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:45.640
are going to be the same one
sharing memes of you photoshopped with a clanhood,

959
01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:49.319
right, They're not going to So
how do you get that message out

960
01:17:49.319 --> 01:17:55.000
there? If if that's what you
feel is the big difference maker considering they're

961
01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:58.279
just going to say marks a white
supremacist, this gender male, and what

962
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:02.159
a horrible person, and and you
know the treatment that's coming. They already

963
01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:08.359
have since Saturday. It's interesting that
I've had more attacks than even anybody that's

964
01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:12.960
running in this race, because I
think they really fear somebody who has the

965
01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:16.920
kind of conservative leadership background. With
the results, it can also have a

966
01:18:16.960 --> 01:18:23.119
lot of the unfiliated supporters. That
is what they don't want, and more

967
01:18:23.119 --> 01:18:27.199
of that Reaganesque approach where you're able
to hold the line, you're able to

968
01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:30.439
do something, but you know,
as a person of faith, it's not

969
01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:34.920
mutual exclusive to be able to hold
a line, to be a strong warrior,

970
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:40.000
to call out some of the by
name, but also find ways to

971
01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:43.640
get our message into different places.
Well, we don't have the luxury if

972
01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:46.359
we were at seventy percent Republicans,
yeah, blow everything up. But at

973
01:18:46.399 --> 01:18:51.920
thirty percent, you better have people
who have the skill set to be able

974
01:18:53.039 --> 01:18:57.920
to talk about these conservative principles in
different places than just these Republican echo chambers.

975
01:18:58.119 --> 01:19:00.359
That's good, that's where all the
applause are, but can you take

976
01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:04.119
that message outside of there? And
I think that for a place like North

977
01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:09.600
Carolina, I think that's what is
the winning combination there. And I think

978
01:19:09.640 --> 01:19:13.319
anything short of that is going to
put us back in the same situation we've

979
01:19:13.359 --> 01:19:17.199
before, where we've had Republican nominees
continue to lose as the chief executive well,

980
01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:21.720
and so your your job then or
in the primaries to sell your ability

981
01:19:21.760 --> 01:19:25.800
to sell that message in the general. But you still got to get through

982
01:19:25.800 --> 01:19:30.000
the primary. So you do.
And I think in first forty days,

983
01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:32.319
the first forty days the real test. If you look at May twentieth of

984
01:19:32.399 --> 01:19:36.840
June thirtieth, and I'm probably being
more transparent than what consultants and people want

985
01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:41.119
you to be, But it's the
bottom line. The first forty days is

986
01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:44.840
where people see whether you're relevant or
not and the like it or not.

987
01:19:45.079 --> 01:19:47.960
In our political lanes, it's basically
how much financial support that you can really

988
01:19:47.960 --> 01:19:51.359
in those forty days. If nobody
is supporting you, if you raise one

989
01:19:51.399 --> 01:19:54.880
hundred thousand and two undred thousand or
something like that, people are going to

990
01:19:54.920 --> 01:19:58.560
write you off immediately. But if
you can get out there and people from

991
01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:02.399
the grassroots to the business community are
getting behind you financially, what it says

992
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:06.680
is there's a problem with sometimes to
perceive front runner. And I think that

993
01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:11.199
in the next forty days for us
to be able to say that we've got

994
01:20:11.199 --> 01:20:14.039
to do a million dollars where there's
a half a million dollars in a campaign

995
01:20:14.079 --> 01:20:17.199
and a half a million dollars and
an indefinite expenditure that's supporting us. If

996
01:20:17.239 --> 01:20:19.840
we can't do a million dollars,
well, first of all, I think

997
01:20:19.880 --> 01:20:23.880
if we can, which would be
that's more money than I've ever raised in

998
01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:27.479
any two year congressional cycle. But
if we can do that in forty days,

999
01:20:27.520 --> 01:20:30.079
I think it sends a very strong
message of the way that people are

1000
01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:36.119
looking at this race in North Carolina. What is your Where are you at

1001
01:20:36.199 --> 01:20:42.560
with Dale and Mark? Basically your
big challengers. I know you and Mark

1002
01:20:42.680 --> 01:20:45.880
used to chat a lot. I
don't know your relationship with Dale. I'm

1003
01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:48.199
trying to get a sense for is
this thing going to get nasty or is

1004
01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:53.680
this going to be the best idea
wins? I mean, where are you

1005
01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:58.279
at? I'm going to well,
look, I don't harbor anything. I

1006
01:20:58.319 --> 01:21:00.800
can look. I can look at
anybody in the eye, and I carry

1007
01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:03.119
no grudge no matter what's happened.
Look, life, the people that are

1008
01:21:03.119 --> 01:21:08.039
listening to you and today talk about
this thing. You go through different situations

1009
01:21:08.039 --> 01:21:11.720
you get punched in the stomach.
You have different adverse things, but if

1010
01:21:11.720 --> 01:21:14.560
you if you allow that to make
you bitter, then you really miss God's

1011
01:21:14.560 --> 01:21:18.239
best for your life. And so
anything that's happened in the past, I

1012
01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:24.760
moved forward and what each day look
to see what God wants us to accomplish.

1013
01:21:24.760 --> 01:21:27.079
But I look, I've talked to
both of them. To answer your

1014
01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:30.279
question. I've talked to del Fallwill, who I thinks a fine man.

1015
01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:35.960
I appreciate Mark Robinson's spirit, but
I will I will tell you what I

1016
01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:42.119
told him face to face that I
thought he would do well traveling the country,

1017
01:21:42.439 --> 01:21:45.800
you know, making some of these
speeches there, but managing legislative bodies

1018
01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:49.359
is a completely different skill set.
And I was honest with him, and

1019
01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:53.640
I'll be honest with you and the
people from day one on this. But

1020
01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:57.640
I heard or no ill will towards
anyone. Look, if people feel led

1021
01:21:57.680 --> 01:22:00.600
to do this. I know he's
been campaigning for work for two and a

1022
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:04.600
half years, mister Robinson, but
but I will look at I'll just tell

1023
01:22:04.600 --> 01:22:09.479
you point blank, I can make
the case that we are and this is

1024
01:22:09.800 --> 01:22:13.840
it comes down to this casey,
we want every vote Republican or an uns

1025
01:22:13.880 --> 01:22:16.239
the aid of voter that's going to
the primary to ask this question, who

1026
01:22:16.439 --> 01:22:20.880
is the best candidate to beat Josh
Stein and the Democrats. If we can

1027
01:22:20.920 --> 01:22:24.880
get people to that, we'll make
our case over the next eight or nine

1028
01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:27.880
months. We're confident that when it
comes down to it, we will be

1029
01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:30.880
able to prove that. I'd like
to think a Chiapet could beat Josh Stein,

1030
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:35.840
but unfortunately I recognize the reality of
the politics were in that gay gives

1031
01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:42.199
me the the hebgebs Yeah, yeah, well but people think, well,

1032
01:22:42.239 --> 01:22:45.520
he's another Roy Cooper. He's actually
not. He's There's a difference when you

1033
01:22:45.560 --> 01:22:48.880
deal with Democrats. I've seen it
both in DC and in North Carolina.

1034
01:22:49.000 --> 01:22:51.479
There are sound to just kind of
put their finger in the wind to see

1035
01:22:51.479 --> 01:22:56.560
which way that the polling may go, and then you have other people that

1036
01:22:56.640 --> 01:23:00.199
there are card carrying believers in this
progressive ideology. That's who Josh Stein is.

1037
01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:03.760
He is a Gavin Newsome want to
be. And that's why it's very

1038
01:23:03.840 --> 01:23:08.920
dangerous to let this guy anywhere close
to the governor's mansion because he will lead

1039
01:23:09.279 --> 01:23:13.439
from a very hard progressive, radical
leftist that would do damage to North Carolina.

1040
01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:16.119
That's why some of the business leaders
have reached out to us, because

1041
01:23:16.159 --> 01:23:19.600
they know the regulations and the compliance
issues that he may want to bring in

1042
01:23:19.640 --> 01:23:23.279
it. And you have to have
a candidate that can go toe to toe

1043
01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:26.960
that understand the process here. And
I think that's gonna again. I think

1044
01:23:27.159 --> 01:23:29.479
at the end of the day,
come March of next year, I think

1045
01:23:29.520 --> 01:23:31.840
we're going to be able to prove
that you guys, did you guys talk

1046
01:23:31.840 --> 01:23:36.680
about debates at all? I'm up
for any debate anytime. If I did

1047
01:23:36.720 --> 01:23:40.960
it, I was on the not
mentioned a competitor, but Spectrum. I

1048
01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:45.399
guess it was on Tim Billiams show, and he's when he's yeah, okay,

1049
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:48.880
he's a pretty straight shooter, and
yeah, we'd give you a WEE

1050
01:23:48.920 --> 01:23:55.119
would love No. No, now, I don't do to boetize that often.

1051
01:23:55.159 --> 01:23:58.239
Maybe on occasion, but no.
Yeah, we're up for debate anytime.

1052
01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:00.479
We believe in these friends bles and
we believe that we can make the

1053
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:04.640
best case. And we'll see if
the hith Lieutenant governor will will be willing

1054
01:24:04.680 --> 01:24:10.640
to do that at some point and
ask I'll ask them this in due course.

1055
01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:15.239
Um, if if you're not the
guy you'd be comfortable with either of

1056
01:24:15.279 --> 01:24:19.680
them versus Josh Stein. I'm assuming. Look, even if if I don't

1057
01:24:19.720 --> 01:24:26.800
like somebody the way they say things, or the way they've handled money,

1058
01:24:27.159 --> 01:24:31.000
or whatever the case might be here, if you a guy like that versus

1059
01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:36.680
somebody who's okay with third or trimester
abortions, it would be pretty disingenuous of

1060
01:24:36.720 --> 01:24:41.319
me not to get behind whoever the
Republican might be. It's always been my

1061
01:24:41.359 --> 01:24:45.800
position. I just want us in
North Carolina to put the guy up there

1062
01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:48.079
that has the best chance, that's
built the most bridges, that has the

1063
01:24:48.119 --> 01:24:54.000
best conservative record over over a political
background, to be able to be the

1064
01:24:54.039 --> 01:24:56.680
candidate that's running against them. And
I think that we're going to prove it.

1065
01:24:57.479 --> 01:25:00.600
You're gonna you're gonna bring some guys
in, throw some some big national

1066
01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:04.279
names. Vote for Mark Walker.
I know you, Tim Scott or do

1067
01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:08.039
you hear the question they asked him
Scott the other day whether it was a

1068
01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:13.399
virgin get horrible? I just actually
talk now. I actually talked to Tim

1069
01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:16.600
Scott yesterday. They were getting off
started, and so uh he and another

1070
01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:20.119
differend of mine that was traveling with
him, we touched base for a little

1071
01:25:20.119 --> 01:25:26.159
bit I'm friends with Vane to Santa
Second, friends with Mike Dents. I

1072
01:25:26.199 --> 01:25:28.680
don't know if I'm called friends with
Donald Trump, even though I worked with

1073
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:30.279
Donald Trump more this than any other. I don't have any for I look

1074
01:25:30.279 --> 01:25:33.960
at Pisa nominee as I just said, we'll support him as well. And

1075
01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:39.720
but I do think that Republicans have
to think about who's the best kennon to

1076
01:25:39.720 --> 01:25:43.039
beat the Democrats. This is about
winning. I know people say things that

1077
01:25:43.119 --> 01:25:45.279
we identify with and it's loud as
bold, and we tried to the same

1078
01:25:45.359 --> 01:25:49.880
at times and picking and choosing.
But when when, when this dust settles,

1079
01:25:49.960 --> 01:25:55.640
if we don't win, then it
means absolutely nothing. I just uh,

1080
01:25:55.880 --> 01:25:59.199
i just have a couple of minutes. I'm just curious with the Santas

1081
01:25:59.239 --> 01:26:01.560
Trump. Obviously, the Santis did
his thing on Twitter. It was a

1082
01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:05.479
little glitchy, but that was due
mostly to the fact that they were overwhelmed

1083
01:26:05.479 --> 01:26:10.159
with people wanting to watch it.
And then Trump came out and he made

1084
01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:15.159
statements and he was like, Trump
is definitely adopting the same twenty sixteen philosophy

1085
01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:18.479
where he went after Jeb Bush and
Mark Rubio and all that. And people

1086
01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:25.199
are very dug in that there's no
way that's not going to turn into an

1087
01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:27.640
ugly thing. I just got about
a minute and a half. What's your

1088
01:26:27.640 --> 01:26:31.920
analysis with the Santis now officially in
where this goes? Yeah, I think

1089
01:26:31.960 --> 01:26:34.600
the only way there's two schools of
thoughts in this, and I'll try to

1090
01:26:34.600 --> 01:26:38.319
get this quick. There's some people
say, look, Trump lives in the

1091
01:26:38.359 --> 01:26:40.600
mud, he lives in the ditch. You can't. That's his home turf.

1092
01:26:40.600 --> 01:26:43.239
He can't win there. I think
the only way to win there you've

1093
01:26:43.239 --> 01:26:46.520
got to go take him on his
own turf and try to show that you're

1094
01:26:46.520 --> 01:26:49.520
the best candidate to not be afraid
to take a punch and throw one back.

1095
01:26:50.239 --> 01:26:53.680
That's I mean, he has crushed
the Santis the last two or three

1096
01:26:53.720 --> 01:26:57.479
months, and I think unless you're
willing to engage him and show your policy

1097
01:26:57.560 --> 01:27:00.640
depth is greater, if you're speaking
on behalf of this antist I think that's

1098
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:03.560
what he's gonna have to do.
Not that I'm supporting or endorsing anybody,

1099
01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:06.439
but if you're asking how you beat
Trump, you got to go play him

1100
01:27:06.439 --> 01:27:10.800
his home field. No, I'm
just asking how this how this evolves,

1101
01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:15.520
because before DeSantis wasn't officially in so
he could deflect because Trump's lob and bombs.

1102
01:27:15.560 --> 01:27:18.680
It's what he does. Everyone knows
this. Yeah, but DeSantis can't.

1103
01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:23.199
He can't sidestep anymore. So I
just got about thirty correct. This

1104
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:26.399
thing's got to ramp up quick,
right. Oh, it's it's gonna be

1105
01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:30.439
brutal. It's gonna be absolutely brutal. And I think a few other candidts

1106
01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:32.199
I think they're gonna try to sidestep
it. But it's it's I mean,

1107
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:35.880
you can't ignore if somebody is punching
you in the face. How many times

1108
01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:39.640
are you gonna apple to turn the
cheat before you say, okay, we

1109
01:27:39.760 --> 01:27:42.840
got to swing back or we're gonna
bleed to death. That's I think that's

1110
01:27:42.840 --> 01:27:45.399
where this is hated, and I
think we'll get there pretty soon. All

1111
01:27:45.479 --> 01:27:50.239
right, Mark Walker now officially gubernatorial
candidate Mark Walker, appreciate the time this

1112
01:27:50.279 --> 01:27:53.920
morning. Okay, sir, have
a good one always, Casey, you

1113
01:27:53.920 --> 01:27:57.960
take care, all right, and
we will hold on. My phone's screwing

1114
01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:04.680
around. We'll be back. Hang
on. It's wrong show. After the

1115
01:28:04.720 --> 01:28:10.800
show's on the iHeartRadio app. Search
case o Day for the podcast on the

1116
01:28:10.880 --> 01:28:18.720
iHeartRadio app. All Right, Welcome
back, eight thirty five Koda Radio program.

1117
01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:21.039
All right, I was half club, was doing some and then I

1118
01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:26.800
had poor time management and then we
had to chat with Mark, so appreciate

1119
01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:30.039
him coming on and let me dive
back to this. So, you know,

1120
01:28:30.119 --> 01:28:32.640
companies are having to figure out,
well, what are we gonna do?

1121
01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:39.199
What are we gonna do? And
uh in in the wake of all

1122
01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:51.960
this bud Light insanity, a a
singular marketing effort with a single influencer going

1123
01:28:53.079 --> 01:28:58.520
viral dating back to April first,
has plunged the market value of Anheuser Busch

1124
01:28:58.600 --> 01:29:02.279
by fifteen point seven billion dollars.
In fact, it's getting so bad that

1125
01:29:02.399 --> 01:29:08.159
local bud Light distributors are having to
do there. And I told you this

1126
01:29:08.239 --> 01:29:13.479
was coming because I have somebody in
this business who told me that in their

1127
01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:20.239
city where they broadcast, that the
local Budweiser distributor was trying to do their

1128
01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:25.479
own marketing locally basically like we're not
in this and was wanting people to do

1129
01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:32.479
endorsements. Yeah, going on conservative
talk radio and seeing if people would do

1130
01:29:32.560 --> 01:29:36.199
endorsements for the local distributor. And
I feel for the distributors, man.

1131
01:29:38.319 --> 01:29:41.920
It's you know, people say we'll
find something. It's not that simple.

1132
01:29:42.760 --> 01:29:46.840
These are very coveted things and they're
very profitable things. And people who were

1133
01:29:46.880 --> 01:29:51.000
on the you know, in early
on this, I know I happen to

1134
01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:57.279
know and he's since passed, but
one of the guys who was the distributor

1135
01:29:57.319 --> 01:30:00.000
here in North Carolina, one of
the big cities for the Miller products,

1136
01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:03.479
UM and UH. I remember sitting
there playing some golf with him and we're

1137
01:30:03.479 --> 01:30:05.920
sitting there having a beer afterward,
and he's telling me and he's like,

1138
01:30:06.319 --> 01:30:11.600
you know, back in the day, like nobody really wanted it, right,

1139
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:15.960
nobody, And I can't remember all
the scenarios around it, but you

1140
01:30:15.960 --> 01:30:17.560
know, that just wasn't seen as
a coveted thing. So he and his

1141
01:30:17.640 --> 01:30:23.960
brother bought it cheap and basically became
the distributor. And obviously that that was

1142
01:30:24.039 --> 01:30:28.359
a that was a very good thing
for them, and UM and they've had

1143
01:30:28.399 --> 01:30:31.680
they had to diversify their business and
bring in all these other brands. And

1144
01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:38.159
North Carolina is interesting and how we
force smaller breweries once they get bigger,

1145
01:30:38.199 --> 01:30:43.359
to partner with people that are established
distributors, and it's there's a lot of

1146
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:46.319
complexity there. So look, I
understand that. And I don't think that

1147
01:30:46.399 --> 01:30:55.039
everyone who is a bud Light or
an Anaheuser Bush distributor in every market is

1148
01:30:55.199 --> 01:30:58.960
all in on this, uh Dylan
mulvaney stuff. I think they were.

1149
01:30:59.000 --> 01:31:02.520
I think many of them were horrified, like they can't understand. And frankly,

1150
01:31:02.560 --> 01:31:08.079
there's probably gonna be a bunch of
lawsuits for fiducier responsibilities not being met.

1151
01:31:09.399 --> 01:31:13.199
But down in Alabama, obviously this
is this is gonna be a big

1152
01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:18.199
place. The guy who owns the
Anaheiser Bush distributor Abama Budweiser, based out

1153
01:31:18.199 --> 01:31:24.880
of Montgomery, Alabama, has launched
a whole ad campaign trying to distance himself

1154
01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:31.600
from you know, the corporate the
corporate stuff. But frankly, I don't

1155
01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:36.720
look. People may be sympathetic and
think you're a good guy and get it,

1156
01:31:36.760 --> 01:31:40.079
but at the end of the day, the only way that they can

1157
01:31:40.199 --> 01:31:44.439
help you is to purchase this thing, which will then enrich further up the

1158
01:31:44.479 --> 01:31:49.439
food chain. So I don't know
how successful it's going to be. Maybe

1159
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:54.079
lean into some of the local brands
he district, I don't know, I

1160
01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:58.079
don't know. I don't know the
answer, But definitely companies are having to

1161
01:31:58.079 --> 01:32:00.560
figure out what they're gonna do.
And then Budweisers also gonna slap down because

1162
01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:05.880
they lost their perfect score with the
you know, the diversity, inclusion and

1163
01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:15.520
equity folks. So there's in targets
getting blasted on Twitter for moving displays.

1164
01:32:17.159 --> 01:32:21.680
It's a it's a dog fight,
man. But some companies they're all in

1165
01:32:21.800 --> 01:32:27.359
north Face, which north I remember. North Face used to be like a

1166
01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:30.159
local brand. You can only buy
its ski areas and like Colorado and Wyoming.

1167
01:32:30.600 --> 01:32:33.800
In fact, it was really expensive. But I got gifted like a

1168
01:32:34.399 --> 01:32:39.680
like a light jacket pullover thing,
and I remember when I went to California

1169
01:32:39.720 --> 01:32:44.199
with that thing. After leaving high
school. My buddy's like, looking at

1170
01:32:44.239 --> 01:32:51.760
you go North north Facia, what
bra North Facia What And I'm like,

1171
01:32:51.800 --> 01:32:55.399
oh no, it's a clothing man. Then like two years later they were

1172
01:32:55.439 --> 01:33:00.079
everywhere. But I do remember the
guys were kind of a little moonbatty and

1173
01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:04.000
I obviously the ownership has changed,
it's become a big company and all that,

1174
01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:11.359
but they decided to put an ad
out even with all this going on,

1175
01:33:11.560 --> 01:33:14.680
So you know, brands are making
their decisions. By the way,

1176
01:33:14.720 --> 01:33:18.479
here's that ad hi, It's me
Pattygonia, a real life homosexual and today

1177
01:33:18.520 --> 01:33:23.399
I'm here with the North Based We
are here to invite you to come out

1178
01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:30.079
in nature with us. Wow,
this is nice and just so to add

1179
01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:36.079
the visual that is a dude with
a mustache addressed as a woman with a

1180
01:33:36.319 --> 01:33:41.800
very very bright rainboweek clothing. Okay, all right, we like to call

1181
01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:47.079
this little tour the Summer of Pride. This tour has everything, hiking,

1182
01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:54.000
community art, lesbians, lesbians making
art. Last year we gay sashade across

1183
01:33:54.079 --> 01:33:59.720
the nation and celebrated pride across the
nation with hundreds of you across the nation.

1184
01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:03.319
This year we're back back back again
with two news stops Atlanta, GA.

1185
01:34:03.840 --> 01:34:10.039
Why because you're there in Salt Lake
City. We're coming for you.

1186
01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:15.560
Of course, this year, all
these fabulous speakers will be coming from inside

1187
01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:19.520
this TV to a nature near you. So come outside and celebrate the beautiful

1188
01:34:19.880 --> 01:34:29.600
LGHGTV community. Hold on, it's
for ya. Yeah, we tag thing.

1189
01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:30.800
I'm glad you left that in.
I was good, all right?

1190
01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:34.760
So now why do I play it? I don't know you you know,

1191
01:34:35.039 --> 01:34:38.720
to decide whether you want to buy
north Face or not. But my point

1192
01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:43.199
is it's just interesting watching what the
companies are doing, and frankly, I

1193
01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:49.079
don't know that it hurts north Face's
brand. I really don't, because what

1194
01:34:49.399 --> 01:34:58.439
is inherently different between Budweiser and north
Face is north Faces clientele. Even though

1195
01:34:58.479 --> 01:35:03.079
it's expanded to be a a pretty
innocuous brand, but it was really built

1196
01:35:03.079 --> 01:35:06.960
on a bunch of ski hippies,
you know what I'm saying. So they're

1197
01:35:08.000 --> 01:35:12.439
not overtly going to be rejecting that. However, if you're Budweiser and you

1198
01:35:12.600 --> 01:35:16.920
not only are creating things that generally
don't jibe with your audience, who mostly

1199
01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:23.279
would just ignore that stuff, but
now it's where you're inherently, in their

1200
01:35:23.319 --> 01:35:30.039
opinion, attacking women. And then
the people that are doing it are saying

1201
01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:34.000
that they think that their customer base
is a bunch of fratty people who are

1202
01:35:34.000 --> 01:35:39.640
inappropriate and you know, like those
ads with girls in bikinis and stuff.

1203
01:35:42.159 --> 01:35:46.319
It's it's it's going to have a
much more visceral reaction. But you know,

1204
01:35:46.399 --> 01:35:51.680
keep an eye to it is as
we get into June, because two

1205
01:35:51.720 --> 01:36:13.760
things are going to happen. One
hold on, what is this? No

1206
01:36:14.159 --> 01:36:17.039
ross? It somebody just somebody.
Now I've got two emails. Somebody said

1207
01:36:17.039 --> 01:36:20.640
that has to be parody. Two
did Ross cut a comedic ad? You

1208
01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:26.600
dubbed that straight up? Just I
just want to let everyone know that is

1209
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:29.680
not ross to any character. That
is not so comedic Parry. No,

1210
01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:34.840
that's an actual weird accusation. That
is an actual ad. Where would we

1211
01:36:34.920 --> 01:36:38.479
why would we even come up?
I'm sorry I pause so much becau I'm

1212
01:36:38.520 --> 01:36:41.119
reading this, I'm like, is
that what I think? Okay, all

1213
01:36:41.199 --> 01:36:44.960
right, go watch it. We've
got it on the blog and we just

1214
01:36:44.960 --> 01:36:46.399
tweeted a link to it at Casey
on the Right. Go check it out.

1215
01:36:48.239 --> 01:36:50.880
Like all this stuff you were mentioned
before, it has to be all

1216
01:36:51.079 --> 01:36:58.399
esg related almost exclusively. Some aren't. I think Ben and Jerry's they really

1217
01:36:58.399 --> 01:37:00.880
get off on that stuff. And
there are companies that are, obviously and

1218
01:37:01.079 --> 01:37:04.159
in the same way that the Goya
guy was out there in the My Pillow

1219
01:37:04.199 --> 01:37:06.000
guy. I mean, they're all
in on it, but I think,

1220
01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:11.439
you know, on their political ideology. But for most companies, it's just

1221
01:37:11.479 --> 01:37:15.560
about keeping the skids greased, you
know. And the rock of the hard

1222
01:37:15.560 --> 01:37:19.760
place is because of the pushback,
because of companies like Target and bud Light

1223
01:37:20.279 --> 01:37:26.680
kind of cowering a little. Now
you have the activist groups, they're going

1224
01:37:26.760 --> 01:37:30.680
to be more forceful in demanding that
they do something. This is nightmare fuel

1225
01:37:30.760 --> 01:37:35.640
stuff for c suite guys. They
don't want any of this. But this

1226
01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:39.800
is where we are, so we'll
continue to document it, all right.

1227
01:37:39.840 --> 01:37:44.760
Ken Moon from the Weather Channel,
he's here to document the weather and better

1228
01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:47.520
three day weekend coming up. He
better documents of good stuff. I wish

1229
01:37:47.600 --> 01:37:50.119
I had much better news, but
we do have some rain to deal with

1230
01:37:50.159 --> 01:37:54.159
over the actual holiday weekend itself.
The next couple of days, though,

1231
01:37:54.159 --> 01:37:56.640
do look pretty good. Clouds out
there this morning, but they'll break up,

1232
01:37:56.680 --> 01:38:00.520
sunshine mixes in. It'll be breezy, mild, mid seventies this afternoon,

1233
01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:03.159
low fifties today. Tomorrow again mostly
cloudy, a little sunshine mix again

1234
01:38:03.239 --> 01:38:06.920
from time to time, breezy,
mild temperatures tomorrow into low seventies. And

1235
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:11.520
then as we get into the weekend, low pressure developing off the southeast coast

1236
01:38:11.600 --> 01:38:14.720
is gonna keep us cloudy, breezy, and cool, and we do have

1237
01:38:14.760 --> 01:38:18.760
a chance for rain late Saturday afternoon, Saturday night into Sunday. Temperatures on

1238
01:38:18.760 --> 01:38:23.079
Saturday in the low sixties will be
in the upper sixties on Sunday. Slight

1239
01:38:23.159 --> 01:38:26.920
chance for a shower storm on Memorial
Day. Otherwise we'll call it partly sunny

1240
01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:30.920
as temperatures climb back up into the
middle to even upper seventies. Alrighty,

1241
01:38:30.920 --> 01:38:34.239
sir, thank you? Is it
you tomorrow? Or is Ray Jeff?

1242
01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:38.239
You know, will be in tomorrow, Jeff eno, all right, must

1243
01:38:38.239 --> 01:38:42.000
be nice to be Ray. It
gets a little five day weekend, exactly.

1244
01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:44.239
Lord, all right, have a
go on, sir, Thank you,

1245
01:38:44.279 --> 01:38:45.319
all right, you too, by
all right, we'll come back chat

1246
01:38:45.319 --> 01:39:00.720
with Jeff Bellinger next, hang on, thank you, ZVTI in the triad

1247
01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:04.920
and one oh six one FM talk
in the triangle. Alright, eight fifty

1248
01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:10.319
one, Lumbergut they now, Jeff
Bellinger? What's happened? Okay, morning

1249
01:39:10.359 --> 01:39:14.239
Casey. The debt ceiling impass was
a drag on Wall Street yesterday. The

1250
01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:18.399
major averages all lost ground in midweek
trading. The deadline for a debt ceiling

1251
01:39:18.479 --> 01:39:25.279
deal is uncomfortably close for Fitch ratings. The credit rating agency now classifies the

1252
01:39:25.439 --> 01:39:30.239
US as rating watch negative. It's
warning the partisan bickering in Washington could cost

1253
01:39:30.279 --> 01:39:34.520
the nation its triple A credit rating. Number of workers signing up for unemployment

1254
01:39:34.520 --> 01:39:40.079
benefits were smaller than expected. Last
week, the Labor Department counted two hundred

1255
01:39:40.159 --> 01:39:45.279
twenty nine thousand first time applications.
That was four thousand more than the prior

1256
01:39:45.319 --> 01:39:49.560
week. That tally was revised downward. Another report from Washington says the economy

1257
01:39:49.680 --> 01:39:54.720
drew a little more than previously thought
in the first quarter. It's estimated the

1258
01:39:54.760 --> 01:39:59.960
gross domestic product expanded at a one
point three percent annual rate. And Video

1259
01:40:00.039 --> 01:40:05.000
Your shares are soaring after the company
released a surprisingly bullish sales forecast. Shares

1260
01:40:05.039 --> 01:40:10.760
of other companies linked to artificial intelligence
or rallying as well, and Vidia is

1261
01:40:10.840 --> 01:40:15.000
up about twenty seven percent pre market. The chip maker is on the cusp

1262
01:40:15.079 --> 01:40:18.239
of joining the shortlist of companies with
a market cap of more than one trillion

1263
01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:24.560
dollars. We can credit Envidia and
other AI companies for the NASDAC futures,

1264
01:40:24.560 --> 01:40:28.159
which are up three hundred eight points
at the moment. S and P futures

1265
01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:31.239
are up thirty six points, and
the NOW futures are slowly improving. They

1266
01:40:31.279 --> 01:40:34.840
are down at twelve points at the
moment. They were down more than one

1267
01:40:34.920 --> 01:40:40.039
hundred points earlier this morning. And
casey, your iPhone will be able to

1268
01:40:40.079 --> 01:40:43.840
do some new things. The next
time the software is updated, Apple will

1269
01:40:43.960 --> 01:40:46.680
roll out a new interface that will
allow a locked phone to operate like a

1270
01:40:46.760 --> 01:40:51.439
smart home display. The screen will
display things like calendar appointments and the weather

1271
01:40:51.520 --> 01:40:57.479
whenever an iPhone is locked and positioned
horizontally propped up on a desk, for

1272
01:40:57.520 --> 01:41:02.359
instance. The update also includes wallet
then performance improvements. Are you at a

1273
01:41:02.399 --> 01:41:06.920
bar? Sounds like a party going
on there? Man? It's always noisy

1274
01:41:08.039 --> 01:41:12.920
here. Yeah, I understand,
yes, Well it is wine day.

1275
01:41:13.159 --> 01:41:15.279
Okay, well there you go.
You know, yesterday was drink with Chickens

1276
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:19.279
Day. That's a thing. I
didn't know that. Did you drink You

1277
01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:24.720
didn't drink with chickens? No?
I didn't. All right, maybe maybe

1278
01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:30.039
this weekend or something. All right, Jeff, thank you sir. All

1279
01:41:30.119 --> 01:41:34.319
right, there you go. Jeff
Ehlinger, Bloomberg News. A lot of

1280
01:41:34.399 --> 01:41:39.479
laughter in the background going on there. People having a good time. All

1281
01:41:39.520 --> 01:41:45.359
right, A few things real quick
quick. I look, I don't like

1282
01:41:45.439 --> 01:41:49.680
take medication anyway. I don't know. It's a guy thing. If I

1283
01:41:49.720 --> 01:41:53.600
like I we did that story about
the guy with like the harpoon through his

1284
01:41:53.640 --> 01:41:57.720
head didn't want to go to the
hospital. I totally got that. Um

1285
01:41:57.760 --> 01:42:04.079
that being said, you know,
sometimes you got to. But it's what

1286
01:42:04.319 --> 01:42:09.600
point do Horrible things keep happening where
you're like, you know what, maybe

1287
01:42:09.640 --> 01:42:16.640
I shouldn't take this, and especially
when you're not even taking it for a

1288
01:42:17.039 --> 01:42:23.119
like life or death reason. So
do you know what ozempic is? You

1289
01:42:23.239 --> 01:42:27.640
probably know the ads because, like
many other pharmaceutical companies, they basically found

1290
01:42:27.680 --> 01:42:32.399
some soft rock song to bastardize,
so it's oozempic that one, Yeah,

1291
01:42:32.439 --> 01:42:38.159
and then they have these commercials where
people are living their lives and then talking

1292
01:42:38.199 --> 01:42:43.279
about medical stuff just randomly on the
street. Um, it's a it's it's

1293
01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:48.520
designed for people with type two diabetes, all right, so people who are

1294
01:42:48.640 --> 01:42:53.079
who have type two diabetes has something
to do with the pancreas. I'm not

1295
01:42:53.119 --> 01:42:57.239
a doctor. I don't know.
Basically, it's about insulin production, which

1296
01:42:57.560 --> 01:43:00.319
okay, that's what you would seek
out if you have type two diets.

1297
01:43:00.720 --> 01:43:08.279
However, it also is apparently effective
at to shedding pounds, so some people

1298
01:43:08.279 --> 01:43:12.399
are taking it. It's a very
high profile. People are taking it for

1299
01:43:12.520 --> 01:43:16.199
weight loss, not because they have
diabetes. And um, I'm reading this

1300
01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:21.159
article and the people are online talking
about their experience with it, and apparently

1301
01:43:24.279 --> 01:43:30.159
it has a little side effect that
is just part of part of the program.

1302
01:43:30.680 --> 01:43:38.319
Apparently it makes you poop the bed. So in fact, social media

1303
01:43:38.399 --> 01:43:45.279
groups have formed to talk about OCMPIC
and the poop the Bed club as they

1304
01:43:45.359 --> 01:43:49.199
refer to it. Don't you stop
taking it? Especially for taking it for

1305
01:43:49.359 --> 01:43:58.640
weight loss? At that point,
I like, I'm out at that point.

1306
01:43:58.680 --> 01:44:02.640
If I wake up, I gotta
sheets, Like I'm looking for alternative

1307
01:44:02.680 --> 01:44:06.920
like me, you know, maybe
diet and exercise at that point. Apparently

1308
01:44:06.920 --> 01:44:12.640
it's a bit like a bunch of
Hollywood people are using it. Marky was

1309
01:44:12.760 --> 01:44:15.600
brought this up yesterday. Uh yeah, and she maybe even before I knew

1310
01:44:15.600 --> 01:44:17.880
it was gonna be im prepped,
and she was showing me like, because

1311
01:44:17.880 --> 01:44:20.199
celebs are you because like you said, it's for people with like type one

1312
01:44:20.239 --> 01:44:24.119
diabetes, right, type too,
type too, like like just to lose

1313
01:44:24.159 --> 01:44:28.159
weight, but now celebrities are using
it to lose like extra pounds. And

1314
01:44:28.239 --> 01:44:30.359
if you could tell which ones,
because she would showing me a face of

1315
01:44:30.399 --> 01:44:33.039
Lady Gaga and their faces become like
sunk in. They don't look like themselves.

1316
01:44:33.079 --> 01:44:38.479
Anymore. They look sick. Like
just going google if you have to,

1317
01:44:38.960 --> 01:44:42.039
if you can bear it, right, uh, lady Gaga, you

1318
01:44:42.039 --> 01:44:44.960
know whatever this month or whatever,
and you'll see her face has become like

1319
01:44:45.000 --> 01:44:47.880
sunken in, Like she doesn't look
like myself. Plus they poop the bed,

1320
01:44:47.960 --> 01:44:55.239
so can you like, But it
also would defeat the whole purpose.

1321
01:44:55.359 --> 01:44:57.479
Right, you want to you want
to get you know, you want to

1322
01:44:57.520 --> 01:45:00.479
