Yep, yep. Yeah, four day work week. We are digging on
that. Hope everyone had a safe and productive Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully you
put a little time out of your day or I guess you're uh your weekend
too. You know, properly, I don't mean by a mattress, you
know, properly reflect on what it is we're talking about here. And you
know I would say I get torn on stuff, and I want to I
want to draw a dividing line here. I think that one of the things
like we can all we can all reflect if we're honest with ourselves. When
you know, sometimes we do things and it might not be the most effective
way of doing things. This will irritate some of you, but that's fine.
I especially in our current political environment, I feel like we are ramped
up to an eleven when it comes to dunking on people. That don't get
me wrong. We do some dunking here on the show, the regular dunk
contests around this place. Ross, I'm Muggsy Bogues in the dut Dunk contest,
going a little old school. I don't know who you want to be.
I'll let you choose, but and I get it, but you know,
Memorial Day is one of the times of the year when I see something
that I think is really not helpful in all instances, but legitimate in some,
Okay, and that is when somebody posts an innocuous thank you to all
of our service members who have served, and I know what you're saying.
That's Veterans Day, not Memorial Day. Can you tell that person that without
screaming at him like a lunatic, because I see that crap on social media
and I'm just like, this is not helpful. The other one is the
constitutional Republic. I get it, I get it, I get it.
I don't know that you're making any friends doing that. However, when it's
a member of Congress, give it to them, right. There's if you
decide you're going to serve in Congress. I know you're busy with your junket
trips and your payoffs, I mean contributions, you know, just just running
around and thinking the rest of us rubes. Not all of you, but
a lot of you, because I've been around you and it is an attitude
that permeates. So oh, just you know, just one of those little
observations, little some I think. I try to point it out every year
when I see it, right, educate people, tell them, hey,
no, this is actually this is for people who have died in service to
this country, and maybe invite him to do something. I don't know,
come over to your barbecue so you can talk to them, or if you're
going to one of the many, many, many events that are out there,
invite them along. But it's okay, man, well baby steps little
thing, you know why? Because the one thing I think, and I
saw some of this up of the Bronx rally. I don't know if you're
signing these videos where you have people screaming at each other from both sides of
the street, and yet I saw some dudes who were on the side that
were mad at the Trump people. And there's a video of this one.
I don't know who the reporter is, but or reporter, content creator or
whatever it is, but she basically says, why don't you come up across
the street and talk to him? And you could tell the dude isn't really
hesitant, but you've seen these things play out. They go over there and
it's, uh, he's a black dude, and he's just like, I
don't see any of me over here, and then like everyone is just very
welcoming. They're talking and you could see that there's a real inner conflict.
But then he suggests that, you know, if people are wanting to have
a legitimate conversation, they'll do just fine across the street. And so then
they take a trump person. I guess, you know, just going back
to the Bronx rally. I just hadn't seen this video yet. Walk uh
walk him across the street. It does not go well at all, Like
there's not a moment where they're not wanting to actively murder this person. And
that was the seemingly the lynchpin in this guy's head where he's just like,
I'm on the wrong side of the street. Man. So you know,
it's what your mom said, you know, uh uh huh, catch sugar
whatever. I can't remember the same you you get it though, your mom
said a lot of stuff. Let me ask you this. Did your mom
ever meet one of your friends and say I don't want you hanging out with
that boy, girl? Whatever it is, Ro's that never happened to you?
Your parents ever meet one of your friends? Yeah, buddy over from
school, big Tony big Well, dude, he's got a mob name.
That's what my dad said. Well, I'm good, good, I'm glad
that they were vigilant. Parents really had to dig deep on that, all
right. So he brought Big Tony over. What were you guys gonna do?
Go selluh what tax free cigarettes? I mean, what were you guys
doing? Yeah, I know he was an entrepreneur. You would think your
parents would want you to be around some use business. Mine dead. Yeah,
but it'll be quick. It'll be two to the heart, one to
the head or whatever it is. Come on, man, you were just
going to get canoli's. I don't understand what the problem is, all right,
but that happened, right, do you do? You know they just
said that. Do you think they're concern might have been either the possibility that
you end up as an earner for the mob or that perhaps your friend Willet.
I'm sorry what it never made any sense because they're like, you need
to get a job. You should get a job, you know, you
should get a shit, right, bringing Big Tony over and all suddenly like
getting a job is a bad thing. Yeah, you were getting a job
in the cab, stand right, right, Yeah, just running errands,
dropping stuff off. What's a you know, that's that's a good entry level
job. You're a utility man, and then eventually you can move on to
other things, you know, like gardening with really big bulbs. You got
a plant. I only say this because there is a very interesting story in
the stack today. I don't know how this happens, although the internet does
because conspiracies. Do you think that possibly your mom's concern was that Big Tony
would I don't know, accidentally get you involved in a failed coup? I
mean that, No, that would never happen. Uh, all right,
but Russia being ridiculous, Russa's things like that can't happen, except it might
have happened. Yes, So some dude, some American was captured as part
of a failed coup over in Africa, and his parents are like, we
thought he was. He was going on to senior trip. He was with
some friends, and then all of a sudden we see him on the TV
getting arrested and beaten up pretty good by soldiers who he just tried to coup
against. Now, just to be Claire Ross, you've never been involved in
a failed coup, right I have not? Okay, neither of I because
poverty right there, right, we can agree failure in general, right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, Look rule number one, never join a doomed
or failed coup, right. And if you can't even get that right,
then I don't know what I'm gonna do for you. But as you can
imagine, and I'll give you the details of the story coming up here.
Yeah, some people have some thoughts and theories and stuff, and I don't
not look not everything is CIA program. Sometimes people are dumb. Remember the
Remember the kid from California decided he was going to go join with al Qaeda,
Right, Remember how crazy that was during the early days of the war.
Well we got a version of that. Plus we will dunk on members
of Congress who don't know, although I have a reason that Rashida Telie may
not know and Elon Omar why they would conflate the service of all members of
the military with those who gave their lives. If you are going to go
speak at an event that is being put on by an organization that is literally
on the terrorist list and is known to give materials support and perhaps even more
to the Al qaedas the ICE is kind of folks of the world, I
understand why you get confused, because if you know, if your soldiers are
all suicide bombers, they're one and the same. Do you know what I'm
saying? A martyrs and martyrs and martyrs. So like that's the that is
as far as I can go to defend them having to post and then all
of them delete from the squad minus AOC the same, wildly incorrect what it
means from Memorial Day. And again they're members of Congress, they have no
excuse. So yeah, failed coups. Trump's visit to the Libertarian conference that
went well or maybe it did, depending on your perspective, And just a
bunch of insanity from over the long weekend. Oh and we have we unfortunately,
we have some some folks. We'll do a little in memoriam. Okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah, So we'll tell you who what's up,
and we'll get into it next KCO Day Radio program six twenty three Here on
the KCO Day Radio Program, Tuesday edition. I hope everyone's Memorial Day weekend
went well. You didn't run into too many crazy so that we do have
some some stories about some crazies that we'll get to in the course of the
show. But yeah, I got it. Let me talk about this failed
coup thing, and specifically the story with the fam here. All right,
So here we go. A twenty one year old American man was reportedly on
his first overseas trip when he got and I'm quoting here mixed up in a
failed coup and then a video emerged of him appearing a bag for his life
as soldiers with the Congolese government were very roughly taking him into custody. All
right, So fifty people, three Americans detained over a plot to overthrow the
Congolese government. The leader of it, who is dead now of the coup,
failed coup, Christian Malunga. So how does one accident? Like you're
in country visiting and then things happen. Look, that's okay. You know
sometimes you're like, why were you in that country? That's kind of insane,
But it is what it is. People are there for a variety of
reasons and sometimes things kick off. Man. Yeah, I mean, this
is why you constantly tell people not to leave the country. I've been saying
it's for like a decade hour show. This is what I And I see
stories like this one, and I see stories like the missionary couple that,
uh, they got murdered in Haiti. Yes, and then I think about
you traveling overseas, and this is what I'm always worried about. I have
a buddy who's traveling to Scotland coming up in the summer, and I send
them this story. I sent them a story, and I was like,
listen, if something happens to you, if you're if you're kidnapped by Algerians
or something, or Albanians and you're sold the human trafficked, or you're sold
to some you know, she sex with him like a nice yacht though,
right, or or you know you're just hey, I'm checking out this,
uh, this famous landmark, and suddenly I'm surrounded by a coup. These
things happen when you leave the United States. Don't Anything outside the United States
is third world, It's all poverty. There's no reason to leave, you
know. And he's bringing his family to Scotland. I'm my dude, Yeah,
well, they do have a long history of people's uprisings in scott Or
he's gonna come back addicted to smack and like a fascinated with trains. Yeah,
there's a problem in Scotland, the addiction issues. Where did you recently
went to Argentina, and I was afraid about the same thing every time you
texted him, like was there a coup? No, there was a lot
of steakhouse and wine, and then this really interesting rum and then I listen,
my theory remain defeated. If you don't leave the country, this wouldn't
have happened. There was the Southern Southern Hemisphere version of TDS, which I
thought was interesting because I saw a lot of it, but no coup.
So although to be fair, one probably could have kicked off man. The
libs down there are big mad over this, dude, But how do you
get involved? Involved? Though? All right, so this is where it
gets weird er. The US citizens captured over their alleged involvement in the failed
effort identified as Tyler Thompson. He's the twenty one year old. There's a
drug trafficker. And Malonga's son who is a twenty one year old football player
from Utah and he is friends with the Thompson, the twenty one year old.
So I think, first and foremost, if the parents are looking for
answers, your friend is buddy buddy with the kid of the coup leader,
and you all went to visit so that would be a pretty good investigative place
to start. Thompson's step mom told ABC her stepson traveled overseas for the first
time to see the family leave his close friend Marcel. Well, he did.
Family are happy to be leading the coup. He was teammates. They
played high school football in Salt Lake together, so that's how they knew each
other. She added. It was also the first time he'd ever flown alone
or flown on his own at least twenty one. Man. Man, we
coddle kids just right into the grave these days. This woman, she looks
up, she's her twenty one year old step son who's traveling for the first
time, traveling for the first time and is with a friend of his by
the name of Marcel Malonga. And then all of a sudden, there he
is on the TV and they're talking about a coup that was put down in
Congo, and there's her son. The rest of the enemy combats, you
know, getting knocked around, put into put into detention, and not what
she expected to see. She said she was not aware of any plans for
the pair to travel to the Congo. I believe they said they were going
to South Africa. Yeah, South Africa, which, by the way,
I wouldn't go to South Africa right now. That's I think he'd probably be
fine. But things are things are not good down there right now. But
anyway, I can understand whatever. She said that she later saw the images
of him being detained. It doesn't feel real. She was heartbroken when asked
about the friend who was the son of the coup leader. Even though the
pair were from Utah, the coup leader family was in the US. He's
over doing his thing. In the video, Thompson appears to beg for his
life. He and Marcel are forced to stand up while soldiers tie their hands.
Okay, pretty standard. Now. Christian Milonga, who had been exiled
from the Congo in the US, which is why the families in Utah became
a naturalized citizen headed for headed the United Congolese Party. He did so remotely
well, he decided to take it to the next level. He's dead now,
so yeah, yeah, don't so there you go. No failed coups.
You want to be on the winning's side of that. And of course,
what's the internet. He's a CIA asset? Is that I could have
predicted that. That's not even a heavy lift. Internet. Oh maybe maybe
he's an idiot twenty one year old. I don't believe for a moment that
he's the that he really thought he was going to South Africa and that was
it. But like remember when you were a kid into that with your parents.
Right now, where are your friends? And you got where you guys
going, Oh, we're gonna watch a movie, mom, all right,
and you are maybe gonna be over there, but you're probably just gonna go
to the mall and harass, you know, girls, and loiter and be
a general nuisance. But you know, a little little white lie. This
just this went in a much crazier direction. All right, let's get to
this, uh what is going on? What is going on down in uh
in Carthage with this crazy well Carthage in the surrounding area with this uh,
this crazy Chechen util There's so many buzzwords here, Chechen Utility contract company.
All right, if you're only partially following this, and I think I can
forgive some folks, because you know, a lot of it was one of
the newer details were emerging, you know, leading up to the three day
weekend. But let me give you a brief synopsis out of Moore County.
On May third, More County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a report of trespassing
at a residence in Carthage. The residence was from a colonel out of Fort
Bragg lived off base and the report all they know is they're going up and
they said the caller indicated that an individual was observed taking photos on the property,
kind of often in the brush. On arrival, deputies discovered the body
of thirty five year old Romsen d'rev from Chicago but not originally, who appeared
to have sustained gunshot wounds about two hundred and fifty yards from the roadway along
the power lines, which is a really good place to hide because you've got
a clear cut there and usually brush. I've done it more from a hunting
perspective, but you know, same concept. The problem was, you know,
you're doing this against somebody who's got the you know, the thousand yard
stare or whatever. AnyWho do we know if it was troutman Ross he's out
of brag, right, I believe he's out of brag, So I don't
know if it was Troutman. But but it really is not that it's what
you start to find when you begin digging into this, and that is where
this thing gets real crazy, real quick. In fact, on Fox News,
I think they had a pretty good roundup of it. Let's get into
it. New developments tonight in the mysterious shooting in Carthage, North Carolina,
outside a US Army Special Forces residence, involving an elite US soldier and two
Chechen males who immigrated from Russia. At least one lived in Chicago, but
neither name so far appear in any national databases. And I'm told both were
here illegally. Okay, all right, So that's that's a lot already,
right, Yet two Chechen nationals, they're here illegally. That may not even
surprise now when you get a flavor of all the different countries represented out on
the border. But you make your way here to the interior, you go
to Chicago, and then eventually you end up in the bushes in rural North
Carolina trying to take pictures of a colonel's house. That's that's going to be
a crazy path. Let's go down that path. How did we end up
here? From illegal entry to this Now learned that the phones collected at the
scene have been taken to an army base for analysis to recap briefly. On
Friday May third, at eight fifteen pm, an Army colonel reported an altercation
with a possible trespasser near his home. The individual was reportedly taking photos near
the colonel's home with a telephotoln under a power line in a wooded area.
A fight ensued, shots were fired, and the alleged trespasser died. Upon
arrival, deputies discovered the body of thirty five year old Ramzan Dariev from Chicago,
Illinois, who appeared to have sustained gunshot wounds. Dariev was reported to
have been working as a subcontractor for Utilities I, a company based in New
Jersey, at the time of his death. Investigators are still working to verify
his employment status. At the time of the incident, Dariev was not in
possession of any utility equipment, utility clothing, or identification. We have attempted
to reach out to Dariev's family, who set up a change dot org petition
for the New Russian immigrant who they say was shot despite seeking a new life
in America. Fox News has reached out repeatedly to Utilities I, a foreign
registered New Jersey based company founded in twenty sixteen by a young CEO from Moldova
who founded the firm three years after moving to the US and working as a
dishwasher and selling ice in Alaska. Okay, So that's that's uh, Jennifer
Griffith. The the pathway is odd, by the way, for all you
hiring managers out there, if you saw Alaskan ice salesman on somebody's resume,
they're getting a face to face interview at least, right what a horrible you
want to talk about jobs Americans won't do? Who's selling ice? Who's literally
the saying? Do you think he just got confused? You know how sometimes
things are when you're you know, it's not your first language you hear,
especially when you hear like slang or colloquialisms, it can be a little a
little distracting if you're not. So you know, maybe he heard somebody,
you know, you sell ice to Eskimos right set about somebody in a positive
manner, and all of a sudden he's like, well, if I want
to establish myself, that seems to be uh, something that people will respect.
I don't know. That's That's the craziest line from the story. All
right, let's continue, because then they had Pentagon officials and others weighing in
on this. And remember remember the other crazy story out of Carthage maybe you've
forgotten, remember the Remember the transformer, the subs, the power substation.
Did somebody just ran this? That's right down the street from this. So
as you can imagine, now, I understand that the media already decided that
what was it? It was Maga or it was Christians? Right, who
did it? Right? You remember the whole narrative. But yeah, they
were pissed off over the there is going to be like r yeah, yeah,
a drag queen story out at some bookstore in what southern Pines or whatever.
And there were conspiracy theories at the time that were like, hey,
maybe there's people coming over our border, you know, who are assets from
other countries who are here to destroy our infrastructure. I mean that assd theory
that's been out there. I heard about this, No, I heard it
was the lady for the Baptist Church, Nana was the uh yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, Nana in a thirty out six or so. I
don't know. Yeah, no, I had heard some of those conspiracy theories.
But I was told, I was reliably told by ad members of what
we consider mainstream media, all of them using the quote from that activists,
the transactivist I can remember what her name is, but the one they always
go to who had just and they just dutifully reported it. So but now
now you find out that this is going on, you find out how many
different incidents have we had of people trying who have been literally arrested outside of
military installations, including those two geniuses up in it Quantico it was it Quantico
hor they tried, I tried, I can't remember. They were trying to
go in up there. And then you had you had like Chinese nationals what
who were picked up down by what Seymour Johnson right. And in fact,
when you start looking at the numbers the amount of incidents that they've had outside
of military or governmental installations, it's pretty significant. But you know, the
idea that you're honing in on a colonel, albeit a colonel that obviously is
you know, dealing with US special Forces. You're gonna want to have probably
some info on what they're up to if you know, you're no good baddie
from somewhere. But the whole thing is wild and finally was picking up some
steam on a couple of the news outlets ABC. He did do a piece
Fox obviously focused on it, but not getting as much attention as I think
probably it should. Company was incorporated on December twentieth, twenty By the way,
this is the Utilities Company and this is the other crazy part of this.
The company was incorporated on December twentieth, twenty twenty three, and,
according to its website, provides quote infrastructure solutions for telecommunications providers, electric and
gas utilities, wireless carriers, and the technology deployment sector. The company's vice
president of Fulfillment and Infrastructure is from Russia as well. Again Brett. We
have reached out to Utilities One repeatedly today by phone and email to confirm Dariev's
employment and to get a statement about his death. All calls go directly to
voicemail, and our emails have gone unanswered. The More County Sheriff's office in
North Carolina also tells us they have not been able to make contact with Utilities
One. I am shocked that the Moldovian startup, what russ It's tough.
Maybe they don't have a receptionist, you know, what it is. They're
in a different time zone, so Fox News is calling. No, I
think the company is out of New Jersey. Oh okay, and is this
a paperwork? We're actually here in Jersey, but we're actually in Russia.
Yeah, well yeah, I'm sorry. Have you ever forwarded your uh,
your your phone? You know you can do that, right people with cell
phones? Let me ask that for those of you in the biz. I
think I'm understanding this. So the company is is a subcontractor, right,
and then is handling what overflow work or utility work. Maybe somebody actually in
the utilities business can be a better idea. That's my read on it.
And that's not an unusual thing, so I can understand why that would kind
of fall in there. But now you had all of this, you have
the substation attack, You've got the crazy illegal chechens with telephoto lenses outside of
a colonel's house. I mean, what the hell is going on? Does
come as we are hearing about an uptick in what appeared to be probing incident,
looks fit the Pentagon military bases. Look across the country, that's right,
Brett. Special Operations Forces have reported many suspicious surveillance activities of them and
their families of late and then and by the way, this is what she's
talking about is a Pentagon. There was an interview that Fox did with the
Pentagon guy, but there was also some formal statements. So but she sums
it up nicely, so don't have to play all the other stuff. Military
has seen an uptick of foreigners probing near or on US military bases here.
Earlier today, the head of US Fleet Forces, the Navy's Fleet Forces,
told Bill Hemmer that his name is Admiral Darryl Coddle of US Fleet Forces Command.
He said, this thing of our military base is getting penetrated by foreign
nationals. It's happening more and more. You know, this is something we
have probably happened two or three times a week. I understand. We have
his bites. Let's hear from him himself. Our military base is getting penetrated
by foreign nationals. Is happening more and more. You know, this is
something we see probably two or three times a week where we're stopping these folks
at the gate. Typically we get NCIS involved with those and we get biometrics
when possible. So there's a lot going on there. And I saw some
people trying to you know, well, you know it's this is happening.
It's always happened. No, that's true. I mean we've had spies and
people feeding intail, just as we do around the world. I understand all
that. But like, just as one little slice, and don't get me
wrong, Fort Bragg, I've decided I'm going to operate using my Twitter X
decision making, so I'm not calling it X and I'm not on a liberty
so anyway, Fort Bragg obviously is incredibly incredibly important from a military standpoint,
so understandably so, and in around Fort Bragg you're going to I will understand
why that may be a target of focus. But like that was pretty brazen
up the Quantico thing, right, Oh, we're from Amazon, just let
us in what And then you know this where it seems very hyper specific and
obviously the context of the importance of that colonel. You know, the public's
not going to be ready in on that, but somebody who's in a command
position within our special forces, I understand why they would want to know what's
up with that dude. But also it's a command it's a colonel from special
Forces. You better be really good at hiding in the bushes, just saying
so, yeah, that's the weirdness we're presented with this morning. We'll take
a break and lots to get to here on the CaCO Day radio program.
Well, I guess we'll start with this and we'll get into phone calls.
You saw Ross, you saw who he lost to the world of sports,
right or the three day weekend. Ross is screaming at equipment while eating eggs.
It's very busy. Angel Hernandez has retired. Yes, yes, just
like just pulled the ripcord. He's like, you know what, I'm gonna
spend more time with family. If you don't know who Angel Hernandez is,
I've just retweeted a thread of his career highlights. It's got a video and
all this. So it is absolute worst, the worst. In fact,
let me back it. That's not just Ross's opinion. Since the utilization of
pitch tracking, okay, right, so you can watch a baseball game,
you'll see the little graphic that's where the ball went. And in the videos
with the Angel Hernandez's greatest hits, you'll notice that they don't always comport balls
and strikes. But he is the current leader. I want to read this
correctly. He holds the record for the least accurate single game performance by an
umpire, least accurate single game, least accurate game in the with the with
the modern saw of the modern computer software. He is the king, and
apparently it's not even close. So and uh, he just retired. Say
he's gonna go spend more time with family. Can you imagine being one of
his kids right right? And you're, you know, you're in there with
your your siblings, you guys, are you know, you're being kids,
your rough house and all that stuff. He's sitting in the room with you.
He watches your brother punch you, and yet you get in trouble every
time, and it's like, dude, you're staring right at it. Billy
punched me, and he's like, that's not what I saw. That had
to be hell. So yeah, good riddance. He's retiring. We're all
very tore up about it. I was trying to see I was trying to
find out which team because I'm sure somebody has figured the math on this,
which team has been screwed the most by this dude. And there's just so
much to choose from. I don't know if we can accurately get an answer,
but yeah, he's retiring. And then on a more serious side,
Bill Walton passed away. Obviously UCLA played for some pretty good teams out there,
went into the NBA. He there was a whole lot there with like
an MVP campaign, a hold out threat, and some other stuff. But
ultimately, even though he's when you start with Portland, played for Boston,
played for the Clippers, and then just eventually had medical issues, then transitioned
into you know, the Bill Walton within the media and obviously had a very
storied career with that. So sad news there. I don't have any beef
with Bill Walton, Angel Hernandez, happy retirement. Please don't even come to
the stadium and watch my team if you could. Are we grabbing a quick
phone called Donna? What's up? Good morning, Casey morning. So we've
had chuch me in terrorists here, I e. Boston. So why are
they calling them? Uh, well, they're not terrorists maybe, but they're
spies. Why are they not calling them spies and they're calling them foreign nationals?
Is not a little strange? Well, I mean I don't know that
it's strange. It's strange in the part where I understand the inaccuracy of it,
but you know, ultimately, at the end of the day, like
I wonder if they even know when these guys came in. I think they
were able to track one of them. Like that's how how loose everything is.
Yeah, that's pathetic. He listened before I go. I wanted to
say it to Ross, but I didn't get a chance. If you miss
me, I've been kicked off Twitter. How did you get kicked off of
Twitter? I have no idea. They flagged me for an activity? What
did you do? They flagged me for unusual activity? You know what it
was. I know what it is. I know what it cat memes.
Yeah, you probably reported me. I would not do such a thing.
Yeah you did. You reported me for too many cat videos. I don't
know what you're referring to. I'm just saying that if that's not why you
got kicked off, that should be a reason people are kicked off. So
right, listen, I post you know what. You know what I really
think it is. I retweet all of your stuff. I retweet all of
comfortably smug stuff and red steas, and I think that if you retweet many
people, they think you're spamming, so that actually maybe and that may be
a thing, because thank you very much for the call there. Don I
remember when I set up the show Twitter account. I tried to on the
very first day go through and I got a whole list of all the media
stuff I wanted to initially follow on it, so I like made a project
out of it and this, and then it got flagged for aggressive following.
Oh Man, back in the back of the good old days, huh,
aggressive following. And so I'm like, I just set up the new show
Twitter account way back in the day, and now we can't use it because
aggressive following. So I don't know some of the rules, but I think
it's probably cat memes. And I think everyone listening should take this as a
valuable lesson and not use the Internet to share cat memes or you could end
up like Donna. I'm just saying, all right, seven twelve Cacoday radio
program, an Ohio billionaire is planning to take a deep sea submersible too the
Titanic, and now not just the Titanic, but also what would they call
the was it Expedition? I think was the name of the sub that literally
just imploded turned everyone to missed. And I'm not exaggerating. You should go
watch the computer recreation of it. I mean it's a it's a it's a
graphic and it'll turn your stomach. So but in this case, this billionaire
says, you know, it's the other guy's sub sucked. That was the
problem, in fact, referring to the guy who ran the company. Let's
see here though, there's the Titan submersible expedition which killed all five people on
board, including the CEO of Ocean Gates Stockton Rush and this guy in Ohio
along with his partner, said that this guy was he was known to cut
corners. What is the one phrase they said? All right, so here
we go. He said, you know what we need to do is build
a sub that can dive to Titanic level depths repeatedly, safely, and demonstrate
to the world that you can do it. But the Titan was not it.
It was a contraption, referring to Rusha's approach to doing it. Here
we go as quite predatory and utilizing questionables safety standards. Okay, I have
a question. So because you're you're like, ah, everyone knew that that
was a big old piece of junk. They never should have got on it.
Well, you're some you this is also your gig. Although to be
fair, this guy made his money uh in doing real estate in Dayton,
Ohio and made billions. Which ever been to Dayton, Ohio? How do
you make billions in real estate there? Sorry, I'm not trying to knock
on Dayton, but you know it's not a it's not like a super high
end real estate market. So obviously this guy does well. But if you
knew this, why didn't you say something to the other people? I don't
remember you scream it? Because I think people would listen to another tech billionaire
or it started as real estate, but one who's now in the submersible business.
They may weigh it because of the competitive nature of which you guys are
trying to do, but they're gonna listen. Right if if if the ghost
of Jacques Cousteau came out, it's like, don't get on that. I
think people would listen. So with that in mind, uh Ross, you
want me to get you a seat, buddy, I want to go see
the uh the sub, to go see the wreckage of the sub, to
see the wreckage of the Titanic so again we're on layer three here, or
you want to wait a little until I don't know what controller are we using
this time? Uh? And it is an old school Sega Genesis always it
Okay, perhaps it's gonna say if it was like the old Nintendo sauce would
up on this one fact. If you don't remember the basically the way that
some the Doom submersible was controlled. It looked like a PlayStation controller. It
was, wasn't it. It was one of those you buy like aftermarket.
Yeah, so it was like off brand, sort of like a universal remote,
but a video game system. Yeah. So it wasn't like Sony.
It wasn't Nintendo. It wasn't. But it could be used in all the
different systems. And if you're you know, if you've ever used a controller
like that, you know how temperamental they can be and disconnect at a moment's
notice and then murder everybody in your sub I mean, yes, that's I
did see somebody defending it saying, well, look, you know, ultimately,
when you're talking about controls, you're just mapping something and creating relays and
then depending on if it's fly by wire, if you have an assist where
there's an actual mechanical side. Obviously this was electronic. You know, whether
it looks like a PlayStation control or you know, like the the dash of
your car, it's all doing the same thing, is it though? Because
it does? No, I don't. I don't agree with it. Right,
appearance doesn't matter. Like if you had to choose where you like,
hey, you're gonna we're gonna go check out the wreckage of the Titanic and
the one thing shows up that blew up and you're like, oh, look
at that. And then the event something that looks like the Avengers would would
be inside it pops out of the ocean like a summarine. You're like,
I'm going on that one. So the Nautilus, Yes, I'd get on
the Nautilus. And that thing's hella old, so yeah, all right,
So if it doesn't look like the the aircraft flying carrier from you're not getting
on it. There's no way in hell. Okay, I mean, one
day, you know, you get further down. One day your kids will
take the sub to see the sub to see the submersible and the wreck of
the sub that right, to see the submersible, to see the Titanic it'll
be a family tradition. Well, now now you're selling seven day packages because
you got to see all the stuff. That's how you do. That's how
you make money and tourism. You're welcome free tip right there, I think
about. Yeah, some just don't want to be early adopters. Let me
ask you a question, Roz. You were just down at the beach.
What week or two weeks ago or something? Right, took the family down
to the beach. Now you weren't down by Kitty. But let's say you're
up by Kitty. How Let's say you were and two young gentlemen who once
lived in Ohio but nobody cares that's meaningless, now live in North Carolina and
they're testing their flying contraption. You want to get on that damn thing?
Hell no, reasonable people are waiting for caviare service and pressurized cabins. So
it, you know, just comes down to when do you want to get
on this thing? But you got to give it to the guys who did
go on it first. Yeah, that's not that's good for them. Like
you see these old timey movies right that people jumping off houses with like umbrellas
and stuff. Yeah, like burle rely stuff. Yes, yes, yes,
yes, it's amazing. Absolutely well. It's like did you did you
ever try to jump your bike when you were a kid, build a little
ramp or something, right, it's that that is that daredevil spirit. Some
people just take it a lot further in life. Others get some skin knees
and mom won't let them ride anymore. All right, seven nineteen Casey ode
program a lot of weird stuff over the weekend, and not the least of
which is Pete Bootagege, who I did see one of the Democratic panelists from
SNBC responding to this, saying that it's quote this strikes fear into Republicans because
of how articulate and no nonsense mere Pete is. So you all are intimidated
by him, and you will be much more intimidated when we play play some
of this audio. Plus we got audio from Trump. And yes, even
we will not lie, steal our cheat, nor tolerate those who do.
End of quote. End of quote. Couldn't have said it better myself back
in a few this guy reading we will not lie, steal, our cheat,
nor tolerate those who do. End of quote. By the way,
there's nothing that makes me think your pledge to not lie is sincere as much
as when you say end of quote after it. Do some to think about
so anyway, But that stink permeates across the cabinet, including to Transportation Secretary
Pete Boodagege, who had an absolutely disastrous appearance on what should have been a
softball of an interview. For a couple reasons. Reason number one, what
happened all that month? The Federal Highway Administration says only seven or eight charging
stations have been produced with a seven and a half billion investment seven and a
half billion, and they've built seven or eight? Are the Is the Clinton
Foundation doing it? Are these HAITI houses again? What the hell is happening?
Taxpayers made back in twenty twenty one. Why isn't that happening more quickly?
So? The president's goal is to have half a million chargers up by
the end of this decade now and intentions, that's his intentions. You guys
going to have a half billion by the end of the decade. He won't
live to see it, probably, but you know that's what we're going for.
Yeah, but you only built six and like the first year, what's
going on to do a charger. It's more than just plunking a small device
into the ground. There's utility work and this is also really a new category
of it's okay, shut up guiding you through. Mayor Pete Boodagig, who
was being interviewed over the weekend, was it ABC now one of the networks,
and it went a lot tougher and I think he thought it was going
to go first and foremost. I'll just play the first part of this again.
I feel like this should have been explored the whole time. Federal Highway
Administration says only seven or eight charging stations have been produced with a seven and
a half billion investment that taxpayers made back in twenty twenty one. All right,
so in actually twenty twenty one. So in twenty twenty one they allocated
billions to build out charging stations, and they were gonna have a half million
by the end of the censor or the end of the decade, so still
got room to go. But in the first three years they've averaged two charging
stations. Do you do you know how many charging stations Tesla built out.
I don't care what you think of them. The Tesla chargers are the superior
chargers when they're working. I understand that, you know the complaints there,
but they built that, they had to build all that infrastructure. In fact,
Ross, I'm sorry, can I will you look something up? I
was gonna look this up? Will you? Will you? I'm sure you
could probably google this. How many Tesla charging stations are in the United States?
How many have they built? Because you know Tesla has done all however
many this number is the ROSS going to come up with. These were built
out within the same timeframe that they're promising to do what they're doing. Okay,
and I promise you that Tesla when they were building out chargers wasn't averaging
two a year because it wouldn't be functional from a business standpoint, because that's
one of your marketing angles. Right, So yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right? How many charging stations? Al Right, so in the US
there are twenty two hundred and thirty four supercharger stations, and all together,
when it comes to chargers, there's twenty five and fifty six guys. So
now obviously with you know, making a pledge for a half million, is
you know, a lot more, but you can do more than six or
seven or whatever the number is in three years. No, it's the absolute
inefficial and see an absurdity of government highlighted with a very easy to understand example
that made peat glare. But then they changed the subject because we'll just I
guess we'll just kiss those billions goodbye and move on to something else. Tell
me, mayor Pete, what else you want to get into, maybe some
climate change? Could we do that? Okay? Good, good good?
What do we got now? Reality is, the effects of climate change are
already upon us in terms of our transportation. We've seen that in the form
of everything from heat waves that shouldn't statistically even be possible threatening to melt the
cables of transit systems in the Pacific Northwest, to hurricane seasons becoming more and
more extreme, and indications that turbulence is up by about fifteen persons. Sorry,
I'm sorry. I've heard the other stuff. Heat waves that shouldn't technically
no, they can technically be possible because they happened. So you can't say
something is technically not possible if it happens. And then I yeah, I'm
sorry. Turbulence Now, turbulence is kind And by the way, I look
this up and I was able to find one moon bad study who's decided the
turbulence must be a climate change thing. I'm not a pilot for American or
Delta or something like. Okay, that being said, the causes of turbulence,
the you know, the main things that they would look for are all
things that literally have existed for so long, have been so predictable, and
are about differentials. Right. I'm not going to explain it in a in
a technical scientific manner, but if you read through this, it's fairly easy
to understand. So now the turbulence because the climate, global climate warming change
is a thing. You know how happy Boeing is does the ultimate get out
of jail free card? Right? Oh? Yeah, no, no,
no, yeah? The door? Yeah, So here's what happened with that.
Uh, you drive an suv? Ross? You got? You have
an suv, don't you? You got? Yeah? Or is it a
crossover? Yeah? You got two of them? Wow? Do you feel
bad about tearing the door off that American Airlines playing with your gas couslin suv?
Habit? Do you feel guilty at all? I sure don't. Oh
he doesn't. Okay, some would say that's absurd, but they're like,
oh no, here's a one study thing about this that just reads like ninety
percent of the other things that you saw in al Gore's video where it's like,
I don't know, man, let me, I'm I want to hear
about your methodology. And if you remember the ninety nine percent methodology was basically
what you want to do is anyone who has a dissenting opinion, you don't
include them in the numbers because then as a percentage, it still looks bigger.
And that's just one of nine thousand problems with that. So oh man,
So yeah, yeah, I don't think that thought how it was going
to go, how he thought it was going to go. And sometimes you're
able to roll within and sometimes you're not. I would say, did you
see Trump at the Libertarian conference and they started booing him. Here's what it
looks like to be able to roll with something. Mayor Pete take notes that
sign that size only if you want to win, only if you want to
win. Maybe you don't want to win, Thank you, dear Roy,
thank you. No, only do that if you want to win. If
you want to lose, don't do that. Keep getting you three percent every
four years. Dude, did he look? Did he look? Even remotely
uncomfortable up there. I mean think about that to be in, you know,
at a podium with thousands of people booing you at hundreds or whatever it
was, right, even if you're a public speaker, it can be pretty
awkward. Biden when he was given when he spoke up at where do you
speak? At West Point? No? No? Where? Did he speak
over the way one of the military schools, right, and they weren't clapping.
He did the police clap thing with Jeb Bush, which is which is
stupid because you're the commander in chief. Man, you can order him to
clap. Dude, why why have that if you're not going to flex it
in a moment like that order, or if it's not loud enough. Here's
what you want to do. Ross checked my work here. If you're in
a military setting and the response you're getting is not loud enough, you want
to scream I can't hear you, maggots, and then some other stuff.
I can't stand on the radio at the top of your lungs until you get
the response you're looking for. That's how you do that. Maybe you can
also walk around the room ask each of them a little something about theirselves.
Explain that you didn't know they stacked stuff that high, and guys from Texas,
that's going to go in a different direction. And yeah, maybe talk
about someone's mom and their leg you get, but you have to exert dominance.
And in that situation, Biden just kind of shriveled. Pete acted annoyed
and smug. Donald Trump started making fun of them. Different people deal with
different stuff different ways, That's all I'm saying. All right, coming up,
you thought they weren't innovating on the whacked out college ro tester Palestinian Hamas
front. You think, no, they're coming up with new and different and
this might be my favorite one yet. But first let's get Ray Stagic from
the Weather Channel. We'll get into that other thing here after the break.
How you doing, sir, good? Good casey? How are you?
I'm pretty good? Did you What did you do over the weekend? And
did work? Believe it or not? Went from graduation at the high school
while they didn't my seat graduation to dinner quicknap. It's overnight covering the tornado
outbreak was actually on the air for the Texas One north of Denton and for
the Arkansas One. Texas One was crazy, and I was gonna ask I
was going to actually lead to that because I saw one of the weather warnings
out of Oklahoma and there was a phrase in there the my my attention,
DVD size hail. Oh I didn't see that DVD. They recall DVD sized
hail that shouldn't exist. And times maybe also, I feel like you have
to change that because if I'm twelve and I'm listening to the weather and I'm
like and they're like, watch out, there might be DVD sized I don't
know what the hell that is. I'm not going outside. I'm stupid because
I don't know exactly. You got to update it. So we need something
else. Yeah, big yeah, big time hail. And if to this
or says that's what we need, yes, that'll get them right. So
yeah, and unfortunately multiple I think we're over twenty fatalities from severe weather over
the weekend, some storms here locally. Now we're in for some absolutely beautiful
weather next few days. It's warm this morning still and today another warm day
for the breath of the cooler, more pleasant air gets in here. Mid
upper eighties today tonight in the low sixties and maybe some fifties from the triad
West Tomorrow Thursday Friday, near or just above eighty degrees. On Friday,
we actually stay in the upper seventies with lows in the fifties. The mountains
could sneak into the forties later in the week, and I don't know if
we'll get to mention a rain maybe through the entire upcoming weekend too. So
it's been a rough severe weather season so far for many across the eastern US.
We're going to get a nice break, and this break's going to continue
right for the rest of the month, and as we get into the first
day of meteorological summer in June and hurricane season on Saturday, hopefully we don't
uncover a whole ball of wax that they're talking about for what this hurricane season's
supposed to be like, which, believe it or not, it's off to
a very slow start in the northern hemisphere, including the Pacific Ocean, but
forecast to be one heck of an Atlantic hurricane season, so we'll see.
All right, I probably can't get you on board with this, but I
want to do something because I've started to get all the press releases from all
the people pitching hurricane related interviews. You know, it's just the cycle of
things. Do we really need to tell people to have food at their house
every year? And water? Do we? I mean, do we?
Or can we start thinning some folks out? I think we could thin to
hurt a little bit. Okay, all right, it's like what a bunch
of wasted space. Make sure you have water? Yeah, well if you
don't know, then you know, one hundred years ago you'd be dead.
So right, yeah, I agree, Okay, all right, sorry to
drag into my angry. I appreciate it, sir. There you go,
race to egic from the weather Channel. Oh oh, Air Force. Okay,
I know it was one of the service academies. But again, you're
the commander in chief. Tell them to clap, call him maggots, screen
it go, you know what, get some of your buddies go into their
dorm and turn everything upside down like somebody didn't lock a foot locker. Okay,
a clap, Commander in chief. All right, we'll be back.
Hang on. Generally, these are going to be the types of jobs that
more men are doing. Not always, but most of the time. I'm
talking the you know, the bus you're ass sun up to sun and down.
We're gonna you know, you're hanging drywall, you're pouring concrete, you're
you know, you do plumbing, your rancher wait, you know whatever it
is, right and and and also it's a job that generally you're gonna have
a truck, right, and you're gonna actually use a truck for truck stuff,
not like the Kerrie soccer mom uses her truck. And imagine you're at
the end of one of those days. You're not appreciated, you're underpaid for
the work that you do, but you go out and you do it because
that's you know, you have a responsibility to your family. You're the people
that make America work. And at the end of that day, when when
when the end is in sight, you head back to your truck for that
commute that's probably way too long, back to your house or you know you're
going to be exhausted, have limited time with your family, and then get
up and do it all over again the next day. This is the life
that so many people lead. There was a time where I where I worked
did roofing. It's it's not easy, but you do it because you want
to have you want to have a gig and as you're getting back to your
truck. Inside of your truck is an absolute demon in the form of one
of these pro Hamas protesters who literally got into your truck because you got out
to check a tie down strap and at that moment jumped in there. It
is now occupying your truck. How is that going to go? We don't
have to speculate, because it happened. I got some psycho you just Scott
in my truck and was driving it. Three Palestine in downtown Detroit and my
future kids, Free Palestine, Free Palestine, Palestine. And you're don't You're
dealing with this fealine out of my truck. All right? I have to
tell you his restrain initially, because he does. He sits there in films
her. I think he for a moment thinks shame is gonna work. It
spoiler doesn't work, and she just gets more and more animated, and eventually
he grabs she's wearing like a puffy coat, you know, grabs the coat.
And I wouldn't say he tossed her aggressively. She didn't catch air per
se, but then she kind of soft rolls on the sidewalk. Yes,
can I just say, for all of you protesters who want to make everybody's
life miserable, this is the way I would encourage you to seek how construction
sites, auto parts stores, anywhere men are being men and occupy their vehicles.
What is the worst that could happen kicking off a four day work week
post Memorial Day? And I have to tell you just I always find it
interesting because I like to think I see everything, but you just can't see
everything. I didn't know and I hear by the way Kyle and News is
he loves this story this morning. I didn't know grown adults chase cheese wheels
down a hill assover tea kettle. I had no idea. This fascinating Ross
is like the expert on this stuff. For some reason, I was very
a bunch of documentaries accidentally a few years back, maybe accidentally like the guy
who got accidentally. I think it was like during COVID, where like people
are looking for stuff to watch, and like one video led to the other
and I watched the whole documentary on it. There's like YouTube series on it.
It's fascinating, man. These people go down these hills, and these
hills are super steep, and they the phones get the Wheeled Cheese and the
special I watched was it was on about a girl. It was like the
biggest one of these they do over there, and she had won it like
three or four years in a row, like the Murray de Jordan of cheese,
the Michael Jordan of cheese Chasing got you and it followed her. She
was trying to win again. Why but why? Because I heard it.
I heard Kyle say that it's hundreds of years old? What what? Why?
How how did that start? That's what I want to know. How
do we how do we now have an annual cheese wheel chase injury fest going
back hundreds of years? What? How did they start chasing cheese? It's
a way to try to get to get rid of the black death? Is
that true? Well, I mean you see you see, yeah, they
tried to get they tried to get rid of the black death. That goes
well to the p yeah spread yeah right, fleas yeah, times with fleas
cheese. Well also, what would the fleas on? That's kind of what
the rats like? Cheese like cheese. Okay, so it's death yeah,
no, you're right, Yes, A ring around the rosie, the ring
of cheese ashes ashes, we all fall down the hill to get the cheese.
We forgot your pocket with the flowers in it there, So it was
that. But then I also, but then, why would you if the
source of the black plate I don't I can't believe I'm going down this rat.
If the source of the black plague was the rats and the fleas on
the rats, and they are cheap, why wouldn't you want to run away
from the cheese wheel? Yeah? I assumed, Yeah, I assumed.
It was like how like William Wallace won the Battle of Laton or whatever.
That first one was right where he was outnumbered, but he had the high
ground. Maybe they were rolling Indiana Jones boulders things of cheese down on the
King's men. Okay, so full disclosure. I don't remember why they do
it. I think it was just some weirdo who did it and they were
like it caught on. It's like something fun to do. Well, why
don't you do it? Man? I'm old dude, Well you don't,
like, you don't have to go pro treat it like pickleball right where I'm
playing tennis. No, you're not not. Really, It is a great
rabbit hole to fall down and watch these people just fling themselves down the mountain
get injured to get this wheel of cheese. It's fascinating. Yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah, I mean I I do enjoy stuff like that when I
lived in when I spent that year living in Breckenridge, I got to go
to the spring thaw at a Rapahoe Basin, which is one of the nearby
ski areas, and at the end of the year they literally let the water
pool and create a pond at the bottom, and then people get as drunk
as possible and either ski and try to water ski across it and it ends
horribly, or they build big sled contraptions and big groups of people break their
necks. So like, I'm here for the watch and I'm just saying,
maybe we can put together a softer, more pickleballish league where it's you know,
you're not using you know, damn near a cliff, right, You're
not using the hill that Wesley rolled down, because that's what we're talking about,
right, If people need a visual on this, Yes, in the
Princess Bride, that hill he goes rolling down, Like that's what some of
these look like. But instead of one, there's like hundreds of them,
all falling down simultaneously. Yes, yes, yes, yes, So instead
of that hill, maybe the uh maybe the incline of the driveway into the
studios there, Jesus, moving as fast you might actually catch it, because
that would suck to never catch the cheese, right, starve man, that's
the documentary I want to see. I want to see the documentary of the
person that's done this year after year, off to year and they've never won.
That's the stick to it. I don't know, I don't know that
I could keep a straight face watching somebody tumble after cheese down the hill slow
mow with chariots of fire in the background. So was there a training montage?
Please God tell me there was, now I want to know how you
trained. You just throw yourself down the hill over and over again. I
think she just ran down the hill over and over again. Oh okay,
all right, Like she was a champion because she was able to believe to
stay on her feet. Is she still the champion? Uh? This is
proud. No, she has to be retired now. Well it's probably good
because the women's division now nothing but trans dudes. So yeah, sorry,
ladies should have got into it sooner, all right. So that's a cheese
wheel chasing. I know, people do weird stuff everywhere, man, I
mean, let's face it, we were dropping possums in a box until some
cry babies at Chapel Hill got sad. So you never know, all right,
Here's what I do know, though, whatever happened to your kid's kindergarten
that you know may have concerned you, right, you know, especially if
it's your first kid, probably overly protective. Now they're at school, Just
thank your lucky stars. It wasn't this. Kindergarten graduations are times for making
memorize. These graduates were crossing over into the next journey of their life.
This was a supposed to be a time for kindergartens to be promoted to the
first grade, but it turned into this fight. This video circulating online shows
children breaking off into a fight during a graduation at Buckley Carpenter Elementary School.
It doesn't surprise me, because no one where we live in a falling world,
people need the Lord Jesus Christ. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, I hear you there. How does an entire graduation ceremony of
kids look like a four am waffle house melee. How do you these are
kindergarteners. Don't get me wrong, they can all act a fool, but
it's like it's like every it's the worst world star hip hop video fight like
I've ever seen you with kindergarteners. And they even had a kindergarten fight club
here in North Carolina we talked about a few weeks ago, and it goes
full melee, man at a kindergarten graduation. That's not just on the school
right there. That is wild to me. Man, those kids, I
hope they're not, but I think it's fair to say some of those kids
are doomed. Some of them probably will never go to another graduation, as
sad as that is, and that's how they kicked off their very first one
wild melee at a kindergarten graduation. We are absolutely bring on the asteroid at
this point. All right, Hey, you want to feel good? Though
not everything's a Debbie downer, although the cheese thing probably made some people feel
good. I like cheese, But the US has recaptured its former glory and
stuck it to those Australians. I'll explain what we did and why USA number
one in just a moment here on the Cacoday radio program. So somebody sent
me an email. Apparently a girl over at NC State has won two of
the last three and according to the email, or she actually changed well that
makes sense, actually ras she chased she trains at Pulling Dick's Park complex for
the cheese chase. All right, well, I don't know if that's true,
sir, but if it is a nice little cool local connection, appreciate
that. All right, so uh, let's go ahead. In fact,
let's let me get this ready. Why don't we head on down to the
sunny state, Oh, Florida? Shall we? Florida? Then Florida?
Then something in the water the errors hand that makes you do all that crazy
craft. That's like the state is let me done, ass trap. Nowhere
else has the Florida man. It is almost like as the Weird Factor climbs
and you find out it haven't in Florida every time, in Florida, then
Florida. Then if anyone can jeer me have you know, you can't just
mind life be crazy? But of course but it's not. It's cod crab
crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used
to it, they don't find him. Hooray for Florida man. Well,
that's a Florida man in question. Pencicle of Florida. Thirty one year old
David Jackson had been on the run from police and significant charges felling, the
assault, felling, the assault of law enforcement officer, possession of a weapon
by felling. You just you know a bunch of stuff. But anyway,
he's on the lamb din. The police get a tip, you little tippy
tip, Hey, this dude, he's in this house. So on Friday,
they roll the they roll the tactical team over there to get them and
finally make their way inside. And initially they're looking around, they don't know
where he is. And it was only after one of the officers went into
a utility room that it became really really apparent. The five foot ten,
one hundred and fifty pound dudes, so he's you know, it's tallish,
but you know, lanky, had apparently folded himself into a dorm room size
dryer, a front loading dryer, like he's like he's a circus act and
was hiding in there with the door closed behind him. Ross, what do
you know about front loading dryers? This is This is an important thing that
this man didn't think about. What do you know about front loading dryers?
You have a front loader or top loader? We have a top and recently
we had to buy a new washing machine. On Saturday, we went traditional.
I don't like the front loading. You don't like the but you've seen
the front loader, right, yes, all right? What is a feature
that front loaders have that not all the top loaders have the doors on the
front, right, But what is the door? Is it a solid door?
No, it's it's like a window. Right. So yeah, so
they walk in, they're like, oh, man, where's David? And
then they just through the window they just see like a face in arms.
There's a picture of it. Wait, he didn't even like bring a sheet
in there with him. No, no pillowcase, they hold a nasty T
shirt. Nothing. He found all the socks. Cover yourself with socks,
man, Yeah, there's hundreds in there at the Suvie's still But also,
yeah, that's a tight fit, man, that's a whole lot of it.
Just says you can retweet this that send you the link. Yeah.
I can't imagine how he got caught except for the window that's clearly on the
front loader. I have a front I have a front loader. Ross and
I were talking about applying stuff off the air. I have a question.
I just sent that to you. Did it go like the refrigerator where you're
shopping for it and it's come with some feature that you're gonna hate eventually,
like your door. I'm sure it does, because Marky picked one out our
washing machine of like twenty seven years. We got it when we moved from
Atlanta. It was Marky's moms. Okay, it was like I said,
it was like twenty seven years old, but it lasted twenty seven lasted twenty
seven years because it was as simple, you know, from like nineteen ninety
eight or whatever. Perfect just a big solid piece of metal with the big
door on the on the top and you know, the nothing complicated. And
now you know, Marky's like watches this video, watch that video, and
I'm like, just get whateverone you want, because I'm watching the videos and
I'm like, this is overly complicated. Like they all look like they belong
to the enterprise, and they all have these smart features, and they all
these green features, and it's like expensive stuff to bring more stuff to break,
the more arts they have the more chance something one of those parts is
gonna break and then it's gonna be super complicated to fix it. Because why
does your washing machine need to have a million different computer chips so you can
use it as a server to do your twitch stream? Good point, dude,
my my, Now my unit is newer and there's a USB port.
Why why, Well, I'm good for for software updates. Has anybody ever
jammed in that had jammed a US beat into the side or that, in
that case, the back of the washer. No, no, you haven't,
shut up, No you haven't. And to Ross's point, give me
the old twenty five, give me the give me the old school appliance that
if you, if you do some general maintenance, you'll get a ton of
life out of it. And you know it's gonna let you said, there's
gonna beeping on it, like the fridge had the beating where if it's open
for too long it beats. And by the way, when you have a
kid with autism, that's really a bad thing because they know he's terrified of
the stupid refrigerator opening now because the beat might go off, right, son
of the BP hates it and the unpredictability of it. So now you're gonna
have a washing machine that's going to be like, well, if you did
three loads of longer today, you're over your water limit. Beep beep beep.
You know that's coming. Can't wait, so that shows up on Thursday.
But I wanted an old school machine. Just give me a simple washing
machine, that's all I want. Somebody's mad at me. Why are you
kids have dryers in their dorm? I don't know, sir. Why it's
called a dorm size. It must be to indicate that it's slightly smaller than
a standard. I didn't name it. I also know that it's got a
window on the front. And if you hide in there by the way,
you see the picture of us just some to you, you'll see like,
also, do you do you try to get the dude out or you just
take the whole unit, but the top load you some felon eluding police couldn't
hide in your uh in your washer man, because it's got that that agitator
up in the middle. And so that was the other thing. We're looking
at options, and they're like, well, you know, do you can
get one where like the agitator is a removed, and I'm like, well,
that's just another piece that can possibly break. Yeah, and then you
have to buy one to replace it, and yeah, it's only half the
cost of a new one. Planned obsolescence man, all right. By the
way, So somebody did send me a story about the uh, the young
cheese chasing enthusiast from NC State, and what I think is really funny here.
Good for her, by the way, she looks very happy and not
all of her bones broken, so she's doing it well. So I'm reading
the article and it says that she has ni l deals, she's got cheese
spots. That's fantastic. So she's like the Caitlin Clark of cheese. I
guess it's awesome. Dude. If one of the salespeople walk down the hall
after the show today and was like, Hey, anybody want to endorse cheese.
You're doing that endorsement, right, I don't even got to think about
it the way. Yeah, uh yeah, I'll do. I'll do cheese,
and then I want to cheese one, and then I want to cheese
it one so I can put cheese on the saleskin bag. Best they could
do with cheese nips, No cheese nips. What so you're doing that.
You're doing the cheese nips. This is from sales. I'm just saying there.
Yeah, all right, well congratulations, Ross is gonna do cheese nips.
I'm gonna do cheese Its no listen, man, they get any cheese
nips. All they can do is cheese nips. Are you going to sport
the company or not? What's the other? What's the super ghetto one?
Oh? What was it called? It was the one we used to I
just remember it was gross. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, ah,
it's just as good as the name brand. And you're like, eh,
I don't know about that. Yeah, but she's got she got nil deals.
Dude. That whole thing is going sideway. You see the video from
the University of Colorado for the players at practice, so like gamblings thousand dollars
stuff on passes. It's like it looks like a bunch of super rich NFL
dudes doing that, and people are like, this isn't a good look.
I'm like, I don't know if it's a good look or not. I
mean, if it's their money, they want to gamble it fine against each
other doing stuff and a bet non actual games I think they're probably okay,
but maybe talk to the people who have private jets now that are play in
college football. Maybe start there. So all right, so I mentioned Florida
and US recapture in our glory. Here we go. You're ready to feel
patriotic, You're ready. The US is again the shark bite capital of the
world. Yeah, buddy, and specifically, uh, Daytona, Daytona Beach,
And then was Lucia County or whatever it is that county is identified now
as the hands down leader for negative shark interactions whatever, whatever the stupid name
they came up, but they literally changed it. Shark bite sounds aggressive.
You know why because it is because it is like, would you rather get
bitten by that new kitten or mako? I think we know. Plus you
can if the mako's attacking and you're holding the kit and I'm just saying,
may give you a few extra moments. All right. So the International Shark
Attack File, which is a thing, said that the world's hotspot for sharks
not just now, but of all time. We are the goat and now
we're back in the lead on the annual includes three hundred and fifty one unprovoked
attacks since they started tracking this stuff back in eighteen thirty seven, Florida average
has seen nine hundred and twenty of them. By the way, South Carolina
is a fourth. Good for you, guys, and Australia is no longer
number one. So good to see the crown back here in the US Man
And they also point out why that may be, and you know, it's
that typical smug euro kind of thing. They're like, well, in Australia
that we do more to mitigate it, and people don't go into the water
in a lot of places. Okay, one, that's not true. If
you've seen the beaches in Australia google Sydney Beach sometime it's wild. It looks
like those Brazilian beaches. But more importantly, we're just not cowards. I
think that's the bigger point here. Yes, does Australia do more to mitigate
it because of the ferociousness of the attacks, probably, but that also includes
basically they shut down beaches all the damn time here in the United States in
Florida. Hell no, oh, I'm sorry, there's a shark eating people.
Well, people know that it's on them. They can figure out what
they're gonna do so with that attitude of screw all, you all, I'm
going in the water the same energy, remember the energy that the dude got
eaten by the gator head. That's that. That's kind of that has a
Daytona beach feel, if you don't remember that story. Down in Texas,
this dude's he's like at a bar, and behind the bar they have like
this is right on Louisiana border. You know, they got a swamp with
a channel there so you can tie boats up coming in off of some other
body of water. But there's a big sign there that says, hey,
don't go in the water, dummy. There's a gator and like they have
the gators got a name and everything, like if you go, like if
you ever golf that golf course down in North Topsail there right before you go
across the bridge, there's a par three I think it's number ten where they
have like signage on this pond and they have the gator in his name and
everything. I've never seen him, so maybe he's not real. But so
this dude down in Texas, he's at the bar, he's John. He
sees the sign and he is he says and I quote f that gator and
then jumps in the water to immediately get eaten by the gator because the gators
probably he's probably not even hungry. He's just sitting there underneath the dock or
whatever, just you know, doing gator stuff. And all of a sudden
he's like, here's some dude directly above him who's talking mad trash right now.
Gator's like, what do you mean f me? No, no,
f U, sir, and then boom. So it's with that energy,
I think that it's pumped our shark numbers up. So you know, good
for you, sir. All right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four O. You got a little Jeff Bellinger stuff there. All right,
you're all hung up on the dryers. I don't know. I don't
sell dryers. Go watch videos. Ros says, there's lots of dryer videos.
They're very in depth. I'm trying to think I've ever watched like a
full sizzle reel on an appliance. I watched my cars before. Well,
like I said, we had to buy a new washer because our was crapped
a beat after twenty seven twenty years and now we have a lovely like you
know, water stain in the kitchen above where the washer is. Oh,
that's fantastic, but it's so dumb. We're at the point where we have
multiple videos of of washing machines. It look like NASA trains. Yeah,
like it shouldn't be that complicated, right, but there's so many Yes,
so dumb. Does it wash the clothes? Well? I hope so.
I mean, because let's face it, this is the problem with appliance,
especially ones that utilize water well energy even is all these just you know,
they're trying to nerf appliances straight up. Let me remember the water heater story
from just down. So now you know the biggest beef that people have is
the detergents don't work as well because they're like, ah, you can't put
poison in there anymore. Whatever it was, but it worked great. Give
me some of that poison back. And whether appliances can do what their twenty
five year old brethren were able to do because the waterflow is obviously not going
to be the same energy use. You know, all these things that are
mandated into it are just working against you. You go to that twenty five
year old washer that Ross had that thing probably in its heyday, with the
right detergent and not the crap we have now. I bet that that was
a close cleaning machine. But it was. But also in the figurative sense.
AnyWho eight forty four raced agic from the Weather Channel. H Ross had
to go get a new washer, and they're all the space shuttle. His
old one was like twenty five years old, and I'm like, those are
the good ones, right, they did the job. Yeah, they broke.
You had like five parts that could break, and they weren't expensive.
And now he can I think he controls the space station and now it looks
like it belongs to like the millennium falcon of the Death Star or something.
You know, yeah, overly common. Well, my mom and dad,
Yeah, they've got you know, the one button dry they still have the
dryers over thirty years old. You know, you replace a coil or two,
which right back in the day you could do that yourself. Yes,
not anymore, replay. I've replaced stuff in my old dryer. It's like
cars, man. I when I was a kid, we all had trucks
with like three fifty engines, carbureted engines, right, a lot of Chevy
trucks. And I as a as a kid in high school could take that
engine apart and put it back mostly correct. I had the firing order all
scraping up on time, but like I could functionally do stuff. Nope,
you're you open a hood now you're like, there's cats man. Well yeah,
it's the same way with snowmobiles too, back back of the nineties when
I had, they were piece of cake. Now you can't even get to
the parts now, so you gotta have a dealer even take the thing apart
for you, because you got to have the right It's just you would get
crazy. Uh I had a car. I had a car a number of
years ago where there's no battery in the in the thing. There are there
are ports or there are cable connectors, right, but if you pop the
hood, you don't realize the battery is actually behind the passenger seat and you're
sitting there like I'll give you a jump, and then you're staring at it
like the hell do I you manhood questions? You know where that thing is
exactly? Study up? All right? What do we got? Weatherwise?
Calming down thankfully after pretty crazy weekend, it is uh Texas a getting big
storms now. Ground stop at DFW all the severe weather today is going to
be out across the southern place and probably it's going to be Texas. We're
going to stay quiet, high pressure, and it could stick around for the
rest of the week, maybe even into the upcoming weekend. Today the warmest
day, mid upper eighties, sixties tonight, and then lot to mid eighties
for the rest of the week until Friday, where we may actually stay in
the mid upper seventies. We've got overnight lows in the fifties starting probably maybe
tomorrow morning in some spots, but certainly later in the week, might even
see some forties in the mountains. By Friday and Saturday morning, beautiful weather,
and it could continue even on into the weekend. Did uh you and
Cee? Did they get a regional? I think they got I know Clemson
got a regional this weekend. Did they get a regional? No? But
they think in this selection No. No, But like dude, I'm not
eat, I'm not even a college baseball guy, and everyone's losing their damn
mind. Did you see the whack champion didn't even get a bid one of
the conference champs? Oh? I did not see that. Yeah, I
mean interestingly, Yeah, everything's rigged, sorry to tell you. Hell yeah,
I know that, all right, correct, But the weather's gonna be
done whatever it is outdoors. Hopefully the weekend this a whole. You know,
we're beyond my threshold three four days. I'm confident, and I get
beyond that, I get a little nervous. So I will see it.
Give me something to do later in the week. Okay, all right,
very good, Thank you, sir. Appreciate it, and we'll come back
with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on cacoday radio program Bloomberg Update Now, Jeff
Bellinger, what's happening? Well, good morning, Casey. Stocks ended higher
ahead of the long weekend, had some positive numbers on Friday. This morning,
the S and P and Nasdaq futures are higher, the Dow futures down
twenty six points. We get reports on consumer confidence and home prices a little
bit later this morning. Investors and Federal Reserve Board policymakers are especially anxious to
see a new reading on inflation that comes out Friday morning. It's the Personal
Consumption ex or pc PCE price index. It's the favorite inflation gauge at the
Federal Reserve. T Mobile is buying us Cellular's wireless operations and some of the
company's spectrum assets. The total value of this deal, which includes the assumption
of debt, is nearly four and a half million dollars, and job seekers
are finding fewer high paying work from home opportunities. Case the job site Ladders,
which specializes in high salary positions, compiled data from more than half a
million jobs posted over the last year. Just four percent of jobs paying at
least a quarter of a million dollars per year were fully remote. Fewer than
one percent were hybrid. To guess, employers that pay that kind of money
want to see people at their desks five days a week. Casey, well,
get a camera see boom. There you go, all right at COVID.
Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Okay, have a good day.
Yeah, there you go. Jeff Belling for Bloomberg News. All right,
two stories will get them in quick. First, I was, this
is fascinating. So I don't know if you're following everything going on down in
Haiti. It's a whole lot of awful. We referenced earlier on the show
a missionary couple from the United States. They were violently murdered down there after
their calm. They called a compound, but basically it was a high fence
house, which pretty typical and places like that, and it's just not getting
any better. Well, over the weekend, a just some random dude on
the internet sat down to do the remember on their tracking down Shilabuff stupid Flag.
It was kind of like that. They used a CNN interview that was
done in April where the reporter was secretly whisked away to the home of one
of the gang lords, and little fragments of the video from roof color to
you know, being able to shape the house. Some things along the way
on the road that would seem not acuous to most people were all the clues
that were necessary to figure out where this dude's hiding. And it's in a
giant mansion, and he's got tons and tons of guards everywhere, and this
guy's was there is a two million dollar bounty on him. He reached out
to officials with you and they ignored him. So he posted this whole thread.
I retweeted I'm gonna retweet it again right now that clearly they found this
dude. By the way, this is not barbecue barbecue. This is Barbecue's
buddy who also has an interesting name, the Haitian gang lord vitel Ome Innocent.
His last name is Innocent, so I don't know if that's a loophole
or what it works, but anyway, so not to be confused with Barbecue,
This is Innocent. They're two different people, but they do like murdering
people together, so
