Remember all right, good morning everybody getting six or seven casey okay radio program.
Um, God help us man. Apparently Biden decided that he wasn't going
to go to like any of the dinners with the world leaders there at NATO,
and um, that's kind of become a thing when he was in Japan
and then where was it last early Indonesia or something, same deal, And
I'm I don't know, I'm a little torn on it. Right, they're
not doing it because there's not going to be ice cream there there. I
would assume strategically he's not going to dinner because there's a you know, the
theory that some people have is that there is a window of time and there
is a certain amount of preparation required when he is able to publicly do things.
And I don't know that there's any evidence out there pushing back on that
theory. Four o'clock interviews on CNN instead of Primetime. The CPAP mask thing,
which was still very prevalent, and for anyone out there who uses a
c PAP, I'm assuming that doesn't last for half the day. The marks
on the face, so that kind of gave the indication he had been sleeping
just prior to that afternoon thing. And don't get me wrong, I love
a nap as much as the next guy. But you know, it all
culminates with they They don't want to get him around at that time of the
day with various world leaders because there's going to be cameras there. There's going
to be, of course, the standard gossip that emerges from the various countries,
press people and governmental people. And I don't you know, maybe that's
his way of trying to project to the world. It's not as bad as
his critics are saying. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is running around like some weird
speaking spell or speak and say or whatever that thing was called. And it's
for her, I don't I don't think that it's because she's exhausted. I
just think that she continues to be in over her head. How many of
you didn't know what transportation was, Well, luckily the Vice president's here for
and I again want to thank the Secretary for your work. This issue of
transportation is fundamentally about just making sure that people have the ability to get where
they need to go. It's that basic, is it? Is it?
Though? Is that what transportation is? Because people are referring to it as
you know, she's an idiot. It's a gaff, but in reality it's
a lie. Look at the priorities of the dot right now, and you
know, with racist roads and you know, basically all of the diversity,
equity and inclusion stuff being shoehorned in there. There's a big debate going on
right now with the current budget that the House put out, how much of
that you know, diversity equity stuff that the military is going to put up
with. And that literally is a sticking point for the Biden administration. They
issued a statement yesterday because in the budget there's a line in there that says,
when you're promoting in the military, you need to promote based on merit.
Now, look, don't get me wrong, the military is like any
other entity out there. Right there's going to be I'm sure every one of
you who has served in the military has scratched your head watching a promotion of
one of your fellow troops because you know, dude can't tie his shoe,
or she's an idiot or whatever. And you know, so there's there's a
certain amount of like anything else, there's going to be people with alliances and
nepotism and people brown nosing and like, that's understandable. But what the administration
is rejecting saying that they want to do is specifically work for diversity among all
of the various ranks and merit will not be the primary issue in some cases.
Well, I'm sorry, this isn't you're you're not making widgets, do
you know what I'm saying. I mean kind of you are with some of
the especially when you get up into the upper rachel on there. You know
that that middle of the road where you're not really in charge, but you've
got a suite officer's job basically under one of the generals or something. But
in reality, when you're looking at promotion, I would assume that you would
want the person that's in the best position to carry out whatever the military mission
is. And especially as promotions happen, these are the people in charge,
These are the leaders. How is this? How is this even a topic
of discussion? Man? And they wonder why recruiting continues to be problematic.
Um, I'll give you more on that story. We got bud light stuff,
all sorts of fun little uh little nugget stories that actually and I this
morning, I had to, UM, I had to learn a new term.
And I'm gonna tell you I didn't want to, and I'm sorry I
did, but I didn't. I didn't know what this was, and it
was it was buzzing on the social media yesterday after the Vassoline corporate account put
out something really weird. So we will have to touch on that as well.
But right now six fourteen, case O Day Radio program Hang on TALKTI
two stations driving them as did Talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's
Morning News. All right, morning eighteen, all right, So here is
here is the story on the budget and the military promotions thing do do do?
Do? All? Right? The administration has formerly announced a pushback against
a new provision in the annual Defense spending bill that would require military promotions to
be based solely on merit. The White House responded in a statement outlining a
number of provisions they oppose, which is not unusual obviously, when you're hammering
out something the House put together and it's posing party in the White House.
There you go. But it's it's one thing to say that you know you
want to um, you want to include diversity, equity, and inclusion within
the military. But when you put out a statement and you're formally announcing that
you want it to be the driving force and how you promote, and you're
already having issue's recruiting, like, it's just bonkers to me. All right,
So here we go. DoD strategic advantage is a complex global security environment
with diverse and dynamic talent pool from which we draw. We rely on diverse
perspectives, experiences, and skill sets to remain a global leader, deter war,
and keep our nation secure. Moreover, DoD is committed to developing and
maintaining dignify blah blah blah. All right. So basically they said, we're
not able to staff the military and do so and reinvented in the way that
we want unless this is the driving force. So anything forbidding that within the
budget flies in the face of what it is they're trying to do. Um
let's see here. Oh that's the statement from Chip roy As you can imagine
the House. Republican statements are it's dumb, you should you should you should
promote based on merit, which I guess I would have. I would think
most people would agree with that. I would think most members of the military
and x members of the military would agree with that. But um, you
know, there's a I'm trying to remember what the Twitter account is. There's
a Twitter account which is um it purports to be representative of US military member
members, but it's all moonbat stuff. So like anything else, when it's
then presented or quotes presented in a news story, uh, you know,
it's it's it's said to be all here's here's a collective of military members.
Here's what they think. But it's the same game that we see like with
the North Carolina Teachers Education Association right running around with the red fish shirts and
most teachers are not a member of it, yet the media will portray it
as well. This is this is on the pulse of what teachers are thinking.
When that's not reality. So yeah, prepare for that fight. There's
a whole laundry list of things within the budget that they're pushing back on.
So but I just putting that on the record, I thought was pretty strange
in such a specific manner instead of just saying, look, we don't want
our hands tied. So but you know that's what you do. You got
to signal ahead of the elections, this is a priority for you because they
think it's what people want. In reality, though, anytime we then see
polling on this stuff, it it doesn't go that way. Firmative action.
The majority of individual us pulled, including the majority of black individuals pulled,
oppose affirmative action. And that's you know, the way it was portrayed when
it was going down. It was another one of these the end, you
know, the end of democracy or however was portrayed. So we will wait
and see. I'm curious though, because maybe maybe I'm wrong. Is this
something that members of the military and vets, you folks, is this something
you care about? Does this concern you? I'm sure you have beef with
the way promotions work currently, But if you're driving force is one of diversity,
equity, and inclusion rather than who's the best person to and then you
know, insert whatever the role is, and you know it's it very well
could be a life or death situation. I would think that that would weigh
on one's mind. But I'm not in the military. So eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seventy four. You want to weigh in on that,
um, so be siding. If you're gonna send an email and you
want me to look at something. You gotta put the link in there,
dude, or I'm just gonna make up whatever I think it is. So
all right, Oh it's Wednesday. Why does this week feel like it's going
so slow? Ross? Probably the part where we weren't here last week?
Huh. Yeah, I mean I was super excited Monday and then I'm already
like sleep deprived, like three days later. Do you oh? Um,
you know I just saw this story this morning too. Um, here we
go. One in three, um, stupid pop ups and York posts is
getting horrible. Umm. One in three marriages in America are subject to sleep
divorce. Do you know what this? I didn't know what this term was,
but yeah, it's pretty obvious. Basically, one in three marriages the
partner's spouses they don't sleep in the same room or at least in the same
bed. That happened to my parents, And but they had an amazing relationship.
Like, you know, my father passed in twenty eleven and my mom
like still misses him to this day. That a great relationship. But the
problem was, like my dad was a big snore and moved around a lot,
and like so she just wouldn't sleep, so they ended up sleeping in
separate rooms. I get it. Um, I worked with I worked with
a guy who did UM morning radio guy, and they had you know,
he had his room, she had her room because he got up so darn
early and m but you know they were. They're still married, happy couple
as far as I know so. But yeah, they said that. Um,
let's see here, who did this. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
More than two thousand adults surveyed as part of this, and yeah,
restlessness snoring the two largest reasons given non traditional schedules. Just digesting the rest
of this story because I just glanced at it. Yeah, but you know,
they call it sleep divorce. I think he's a little disingenuous. And
I'm sure there's some that. I'm sure there are some people that are literally
like not doing the divorce and would be divorced, but just choose to coexist
in the house for whatever reason, religious, for the kids, whatever it
is. But I don't get the impression that's what they're talking about here.
They're just talking about getting a good night's sleep. Yeah. The issue marketing
I have is we have an autistic child who likes to wake up around I
don't know, one o'clock every night, singing old fifty sixties motown songs at
the top of his lungs, and he will not go back to bed.
But it's been passing out right, Like he goes to bed every now to
eight clockwork, you know, because when you're artistic, your schedule is so
important. He goes to bed, passes out. But it's like also in
cloud working for some reason, we're trying to get it off at like one
o'clock, one thirty boom, he's up singing like old Bobby Rydell's songs Valada
happening COEs on forever. It's like, I just want to sleep, dude.
Well that's not on the list here, so but yeah, no I
I I feel your pain. What was I'm telling you my hatred sing the
other day? My hatred. It was my hatred for Bobby Rydell, who
I guess passed away. This knowledge you have as an autistic parent because you
can sing. It was like Michael Jackson, he's out of that and now
he's into Bobby Rydell. He passed away like last year, I guess.
But my hatred for the man he's like it knows no bounds at this point,
dude, because I just need to sleep and I'm tired of here in
Valai. What's um? Where? Where did he even get a hold of
Bobby Rydell? So we played Fallout four. It has like old songs on
it. But one of the mods on console was like this, uh,
this playlist because part of the game is you have a radio while you're walking
around, and the play the mod was like all these fifty sixty songs and
Bobby Rydell was on them. And then for Christmas last year, the one
thing he wanted was a CD collection of fifty sixty songs, and I got
that for him. So yeah, he knows all of them. You know.
It's like every song from that era, when it was recorded, who
sang it, when that person was born, when they died. M what's
his favorite right Dell song? Valari I just well that's that's a good one.
All right, yeah, no, right Deell died April fifth last year.
Actually, so there you go, all right, we'll be back.
Hang on, everybody. This is one O six one FM Talk in the
Triangle and there's talk w PTI in the Triad. Well that is that's downright
terrifying. So engineers and I guess deep sea diving officials are now floating the
possibility that the five people aboard the ocean Gate submersible likely had between forty eight
and seventy one seconds where they knew what was happening and I obviously could do
nothing about it. Yeah. Spanish engineer and underwater expert Jose Martin said that
that timeline, with the damages, we understand it would fit with Titan's final
moments. So yeah, basically, less than two hours into the dive going
to the shipwreck, they estimate there was an electrical fault that left the craft
without thrust, and after that was the case, the weight of the passengers
and the pilot UM would have disrupted their longitudinal stability. They estimated about fifty
five hundred feet, so obviously an immense amount of pressure. At this point,
the submersibile began to fall headlong towards the sea floor and UM can no
longer be maneuvered. So he estimates, you know, based on that drop
and what was going on, Uh yeah, about a minute. Those are
the story, man, You hear those stories. That's just that's terrifying because
that's the what they were saying. Afterwards we found out for sure that they
were gone, is that it was probably instantaneous. Right, there is like
tweets about how the brain works and milliseconds and how much how much time it
takes her up to respond to stuff. But knowing that they knew that is
kind of terrifying. It's like m Challenger when yes, yes, the scary
like the god. The terrifying part about Challenger is and some people we thought,
no, they didn't die in the initial explosion. They were actually still
alive as they fell to the earth, even longer than yeah. Yeah,
well, and I think it's because initially they thought was that they were They
were basically at the seafloor by then, so fifty five hundred pounds wouldn't do
it. But once they fell and they hit that depth, that's what caused
it. So you would have that falling it would be like a I guess
a plane dashing out of the sky and nothing you can do, and just
what an awful, awful thought. Man. All right, uh, oh
good, we do have a all right, we're gonna get a call here
on the whole diversity thing. U. The White House has said that they
do. They will reject a budget line inclusion by House Republicans, which basically
says, look, if you're going to promote, you need to do so
based on merit. The White House says they're they want to do it on
diversity, equity, and inclusion. And you know this isn't They're not making
children's toys here. These are These are folks putting their life on the line
in many instances. So I would assume you would want whoever is the most
competent and best add carrying out the mission limiting uh, you know, injuries
and or death to our soldiers. But I'm not in government, so what
the hell do I know? And I'm not in the military. So let's
see what you think. Andrew, what's up? Yeah? Hey, casey
um. So when you hear something like that coming from a political entity,
like like a presidential administration, it definitely sounds like they're they're gonna, you
know, deject all of us who bust a bust are but for the standards.
But when you hear I will say, like diversity coming from a military
stick mindset, like diverse backgrounds and skill set totally makes sense across the full
spectrum of multi domain operations, you know, like you don't want a logistician
working on intelligence. Um. But also yeah, you don't want to be
promoting people based off of the color of their skin because then you're you know,
or because you're you're gonna wind up with nepotism and you're gonna wind up
with all kind of other issues. Yeah. I just the bay, and
I understand that the what you mean, Um, you're talking about diversity of
schools, skill sets. That's not at all what they're talking about. Just
to be abundantly clear, right exactly, Okay, Um, maybe to some
extent backgrounds and maybe there's some cross over there, but no, that's not
what this is. This is about the current system within the military. There's
already going to be decisions that are made where people scratch their head about it,
right, like that exists already. It's just too big of an organization.
We're the largest bureaucracy in the world. Like it's never going to be
perfect. Okay, but you know, this is them stating this is the
goal. Um. I and they're having recruiting issues. I don't know how
anyone reads that goes, yeah, let me sign up for that, especially
if they don't feel they're going to tick any diversity boxes, right, because
you're going to be stymied on promotions. So all right, Andrew appreciate the
call, thank you very much. Yeah, yeah, that right. That's
the first thing that popped into my head. And I'm assuming people who are
considering whether it is entering the military at first or having to make the decision
to re up, these are all factors they're considering. All right. At
two bud Light stories. One is the Costco story, which I found incredible.
But let me hit this one first. So bud Light has now plummeted
to fourteenth among beers. Remember it was number one, and then when it
was number two, that was a big deal when MODELO overtook it. Well,
that free fall has continued and now it is in the fourteenth spot.
I don't can you name. I mean, I understand there's there's a gazillion
craft beers, but are there fourteen of the standard big beers that are really
that popular? Like what do you have? You got? Um, well,
you got bud you got bud Light, you got Miller Miller Light,
you have michaelo Golden Draft. In some parts of the country, they don't
have it in the South for some reason. Um what what? Yeah,
Miller Genuine Draft. I guess PBR probably MODELO obviously, UM maybe Hindneken.
I'm just I'm just trying to think of the big, big ones. So
for bud Light to be losing to PABs Blue Ribbon, um, that that
is a crazy continued free fall. And now the Anheuser Bush folks are there.
They want you to understand what it is you're doing. Yep, yep,
yep. They would like to remind you that this, this whole thing
is jeopardizing the livelihoods of these sixty five thousand people who are economically linked.
So it would be people who work for Anheuser Busch, It'll be people who
work for the distributors. Um, you know, warehouse folks who drive trucks
full of this That sixty five thousand people are in whole or or in a
to a great extent, economically associated with the well being of Anheuser Busch's success.
And you know, I understand that. And obviously the of the sixty
five thousand people were talking about a handful that made these decisions. But that's
the reality for any company. You work at a company, the company doesn't
do well. Unfortunately, this is the reality of it, and it cannot
do well for a variety of reasons. In this case, it was a
wildly miscalculated marketing thing and more specifically hiring thing in the marketing department. And
then the failure to address any of this stuff, and in a prompt manner,
just trotting out, you know, Clydesdale commercials and friends at summer music
festivals and thinking that that was going to correct all of this. And then
the momentum, and I've said this before, the momentum then carried into a
cultural thing. And once it is firmly entrenched in the culture, where you're
going to have people going, come on, dude, did you just order
a bud light? What are you doing? When that's a natural reaction.
And you know, in our society, which is so vain and loves,
you know, posting pictures and all of that about everything that we do,
people care what other people think of them. And once that ball's rolling,
man, I don't know what you're gonna do. Case in point, ready
for this, well, actually, let me do this. Have you seen
the photos from Costco? Oh? Yeah, Costco? I don't know.
I don't know how much of the large retailers Costco is a percentage of bud
Light sales, but it's not an insignificant number. Obviously, Costco sells a
lot of beer all across the country, and they sell large quantities of it
because they sell the big packs of it. So people are noticing what's going
on with what is known as the Costco code on the pricing information, which
I had no idea about. But I'm going to explain it to you and
why what the photos show is pretty damning and we'll do that. Come it
up next on the case O Day radio program, Your Day Smarter one oh
six one FM Talk and News Talk five w PTI More with Casey starts now.
All right, So, um, the term is Costco death star.
I've never heard of this before. Um. I used to have a Costco
membership. I don't need more, just I wasn't you know, I was
go there once or twice a year kind of stuff. But um, during
that time I had it for years. I never noticed this. But apparently
if you look at the price tag right the the you know, the thing
that's sitting next to the display there when you go to Costco. Um,
if you look at the top right hand corner, there is in some instances
eight an asterisk, and that is what is referred to as the Costco Star
of Death. And basically, here's what it means. It means that that
it's a signal that product will not be restocked once it's sold out. And
that can be for a number of reasons. It can be because they're just
not going to carry it anymore. It could be a seasonal product. Right,
So some of the stuff you see appear obviously, I don't know,
around Christmas or Halloween, that kind of stuff. And then once they have
all that they're going to sell at that store, you'll see a little asterisk
appear in the top right hand corner of the price tech not on the actual
item, but the one that's posted on the shelf there. And I didn't
know that. I also didn't know where's this other thing in here that when
you look at the pricing. If something's being sold for were the last two
digits excuse me here, ninety seven cents or an even number, that's another
indicator that they are they're trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
Whereas if it's at ninety nine. That's something that they're going to be
keeping around. And it's it's not the totality of the company in every case.
Sometimes it is, but your store may vary. Is basically what's going
on. So people are posting pictures of various Costco stores with the bud light
with the little star up there. That is that's crazy just to make huge
retail just a masterclass and how to destroy a business when it comes to marketing,
Like I don't know the woman that was in charge of that, but
is she gonna maybe Like I don't think she can work in marketing again,
because maybe she can write a book and how to destroy account, do a
ted talk, and how to just make it make sales plummet? Like what
it on? Come on, dude, do you think she's gonna be hired
again? Yeah, but I think that she'll be hired by she'll probably they'll
probably give her a professorship. What are you talking? Yeah, that's a
good point probe at Harvard. I think she went to Harvard or she went
to Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, they'll give her they'll give her
a gig there, are you kidding me? What is the one thing that
we've learned all of all of the people on the left. They take care
of their own. Man, they take care of their own. But kid,
can you see her working in marketing again, if it's they're not teaching
it, well, if it's some company that's you know, like if if
it's like Ben and Jerry's right, if it's some company that just doesn't give
a crap and politics for the most important thing, then yeah, she walks
into the interview wearing like one of those mustaches with the glasses. I'm just
saying, you know, change, she can change how she identifies whatever,
give her the gig, but I think that her being who she is,
they're more likely to do it. And and the reality is, um,
the reality is that it wasn't just her. It was obviously they always leave
this out, they say it's all about Dylan mulvaney, But in reality,
what made a lot of people really upset was her referring to the current clientele
is fratty and out of touch, and then to never address it was an
air not necessarily just on her part, but basically everyone up into the you
know, in management there, they just they just chose to ignore that and
put us stupid commercials. So yeah, she's gonna be okay, but it
may have a different she may have a different look to it. The bigger
question is how do companies, Because companies are they can't just come out and
go, look, what bud Light did was stupid. We're never going to
do that, and we're never going to hire anyone that would do that because
then they anger activists on the other side. So what is going on behind
the scenes, We may not know the totality of it. That is far
more important. And if you think right now at big, big companies that
generally don't get seen as too political kind of fly under the radar that these
are not discussions that are taking place, and these are not things that are
factored in for hiring decisions. Give me a break, because you know that
that's the case. It has to be happening. A pendulum has swunk um.
Yeah, So I'm trying to figure out where these picture. It doesn't
say where all of these different pictures are from though, which Costco stores.
So I'm curious if anyone heads over to the Costco or one of the costcos
around here, let me know. Let me know if you see that little
asterix thing there okay, because again it's not necessarily all the stores, but
any story where it's suffering, which is probably a lot of them, that's
shelf space. And I gotta you know, and what is that mean for
your standard grocery stores too? You know what's Harris Teeter thinking? Costco just
has his code that I guess people were aware of, which I wasn't,
but now I am. And there if it's not selling, they're they're not
gonna put it in there. They got they got they got space, and
they're gonna put something in there they're making money on. They're gonna make a
business decision. So, um, we'll see, all right eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seventy four the phone number here on the show.
Um, a few military people sinam me stuff too. Yeah, yeah,
So I'm not believing any of the you know, the statements that you're seeing
in these stories where um, the military folks are all good with this.
There's no way. I don't. Again, you don't even have to be
in the military to sit there and resent someone who may get a promotion or
an advancement in whatever your line of work is when you don't feel that they
earned it and you feel others were passed over. It breeds resentment and to
funnel it then into a situation where that person can be commanding folks on you
know, on a field of battle. Ah, craziness, man. And
these twos and these stories exist simultaneously, the bud Light story where people are
fed up with this crap, and the White House doubling down on this stuff.
All right, hour in the books, coming back right after your news.
Um, you got a little talk, just a little about Elon Musk
and Zuckerberg. This thing is getting all right, Good morning everybody. It
is seven h seven, and we're gonna have to have a clock because I
need to know what you purves are up to. I have so many questions
about this story I'm reading right here headline. This is CBS news. Deer
spread COVID to humans multiple times, new research suggests. Okay, all right,
so this is going back looking to COVID nineteen various incidents dating back to
November of twenty twenty one and through April. All right, Basically, it's
a sample of eight thousand, eight hundred and thirty wild white tailed deer across
twenty six states Washington, d C. Obviously largely East coast, and it
looks like there's a heavy sampling in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania area.
Okay, so um. The analysis published Monday said that people people gave
COVID nineteen to deer in including mutated variants from deer that then transfer back to
people. And again, these are these are these are living deer. Okay,
So it's not like it's it's not like somebody during hunting season killed a
deer and and caught some sort of disease from it, which happens from time
to time with different things. It's one way to get the plague, man,
you know, if you're not careful. Less so with deer. But
obviously there's a variety of issues there. Most of it, though, the
concern you get into with the wild animals is how it impacts livestock they may
interact with. Bruculosis is a good example of this, especially out west where
I grew up. Blue tongue with antelope and deer two. All right,
But in this instance, basically people are given COVID to the deer and then
the deer given COVID back to people. How how is that happening? What
were you? What were people up to where this is a thing where you
were in such close contact with said deer that you guys are swapping COVID nineteen
because they do a they do not do a good job in explaining how that
came to pass. Again, wild deer. These are not deer that are
being raised on you know, operations that raise white tails. These are the
deer you generally are glassing from a distance. You see him in the field
in the mornings, in the evenings, you maybe a trail cam. Maybe
you do put a stock on them, because you're that's how you're hunting.
But still you're not You're not you're you're you're not getting within six feet,
is at least what I thought. But apparently they are the biggest problem obviously,
and why they're studying deer like anything else is the mutations that come from
this. Let's see here. By comparing sequences from viruses and deer against publicly
supported samples from human infections, they were able to trace the likely spread of
three different variants between humans and animals. A total out of the eight thousand
deer that were studied, spoke to one hundred and nine independent quote spillover events.
Right, Because they're they're they're looking at the COVID that the deer had,
and they're looking at what the humans in the area had, and they
realize that this unique mutation is shared exactly. M Let's see, I read
this whole article twice, so they had spillover to the deer and then the
spillover back from the deer two humans. Two of these spillback variants were in
with Carolina, one was in Massachusetts. What are you all doing to the
deer? What am I missing? I know, look, I know people
were immensely bored during COVID, but what the hell? How is this thing?
And and also do you remember early on in COVID where like the whole
thing with Katie give it to your pets right where you had people that were
literally like, yes, I'm gonna have to grease madog. Right, we
have these weird articles out there. What is it? What are people doing
to swap diseases with the deer? Man? Because this is not a hunting
thing. These are live deer that were infected live deer that then reinfected humans.
Back Government scientists concerned about how the virus could have spread between Yeah,
yeah, I got a lot of questions because I've never looked at a deer
like that, and apparently some of you have a very different perception. Now.
I've been close enough too wild deer, obviously from a hunting perspective,
but in some instances where we've had deer that would get stuck in fences and
I didn't want, Yeah, you don't want to get right up on them,
so i'd be over like twisting the wire on the next post over,
so I don't have to get near that thing. I don't think I got
within six feet, because that's a good way to get kicked. Man,
what a creepy story, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. I just I don't know. If you're gonna put those
numbers out, you should probably let me know how it's going back and forth.
One of the things, at least from the human to deer side of
it, um where they theorize I had to do with supplemental feeding. Okay,
you know people running feeders, but still that's a whole lot of that
going on and here in North Caronta. Yes, the dear we're ignoring the
mask man day, you're correct, sir. They gave zero craps as as
far as I understand. So all right, you could get the little pet
mask though those were those were extra creepy. So yeah, that's how we'll
start the hour with that story. Let me flip over this other thing I
want to talk about. Are you guys watching whatever this Elon Musk Mark Zuckerberg
thing is? At first, I like I got the impression where it like
it wasn't a personal thing, and now I'm not so sure, and it's
just really weird to literally be proposing, um, measuring contests and uh then
Elon used, uh, the what do you use the word cuck? Yes,
and then that turned into it's a white supremacist thing, um, which
I would if if you think that that's the totality of what it is,
it may be used, uh in in the the two or three examples that
they're calling up here. But um, maybe you should google it because I
feel like you're you're not gonna it's not gonna be a clan meeting. You
need you get what I'm driving at. If you google that word with the
safe search off, I'm just I'm just trying to help out Ross. I'm
right correct, Like, if you google that four letter C word, there,
what do you what do you think it's more likely to come up a
cross burning or a very um or like a dude sitting in a hotel chair.
Yeah, yeah probably this ah, this is And then they were gonna
fight and then they weren't gonna fight because Ellen Bomb didn't wanted to fight.
But Zuckerberg has been training, Like is the fight still on? Because I
have a feeling Ela is just being weird Elon Like, I don't think he
has any like serious Well maybe now he's pissed off because of the Threads thing.
And you know, remember before Threads was coming on, they were having
all that data scrapping problems where they were having to limit uh you know,
posts and stuff. Yeah, though Threads is having some they're having some I
guess people who put it on iPhones it's chewing up their battery. Well that's
the main problem with the Facebook app anyway. Facebook takes up so much space
on your phone. But the other thing is too like everybody's like you saw
Joan Donnagher and the Bloomberg Report yesterday talking about, oh my god, it's
the fastest growing social to a company ever. Yeah, but listen, it's
attached to Instagram and Facebook, Right, So you automatically have two hundred million
people on what those platforms, and you're giving them the option to join by
just pressing a button. It's not like you're going over to Twitter and have
to sign up and put an email address and do all that. You literally
they say, hey, here's threads, push this button. So I mean
it's not really them. It's not the same an't thing, No, not
at all. But I do know that Elon is threatening some sort of intellectual
property lawsuit, so I don't know what's going to happen with that. But
to your point, yeah, no, I don't think it's funny games are
being weird anymore. I think it started out that way and now it's just
weird. But I saw a photo yesterday of Mark Zuckerberg training with some UFC
dudes and he's cut dude. Like, I have a feeling like Elon might
be in trouble if they actually do this fight. Well again, I'm going
back to what I want. If they're going to do this thing, I
want them to be able to use whatever gadget skills they have completely. It
needs to be iron Man versus Batman, right, I want them you know,
put put him in a cave with you know, some simple stuff or
whatever, and whoever comes out with the next you know what I'm saying,
Tony Stark made this in a cave, right, dude, that would be
amazing and and and like, these are the guys that you want to do.
They can have a small team, all right, anything, Well,
I agree, we need to put them in a cave in the Middle East
with some you know whatever, some like an old refrigerator and whatever and see
what should come up with. And I think if that was the case,
Elon would win because mostly everything And you could say, okay, well Elon
didn't make Twitter obviously, but you could say, you know, everything that
Zuckerberg has, he's pretty much stolen. Well, I mean that goes back
to the very innovation of Facebook, with who is the Winklevoss twins or whatever?
So yeah, right, so maybe maybe at that point, maybe zuck
could do well if he had like, you know, somebody else's answers in
the cave and what to make. But I don't know. Let's see here,
come on, guys, deer farms, drive Rozoo's wildlife refuges, rehab
pettings. Well again, there these are not the deer there, but obviously
you do get some cross interaction. And how many moonbats by homes and moved
to Montana and are feeding deer to the point of domestication. You feed him
while you want. You're not gonna domesticate deer, especially out in Montana,
Wyoming, although um we did. There was one guy who he married,
this moonbat chick. It was over by Gillette. His name escapes me,
but he was neighbors with a friend of mine and like she was, she
was like vegan and whatnot. And they run a cattle ranch. He runs
a cattle ranch. And he said that he started seeing like antelope and deer
who obviously had been injured in fences walking around in like full ace bandages and
stuff because whom was just running around rescue him and stuff. And he sent
me these pictures and I'm just like, people got too much time on their
hands. Kyot's got eat. Wolves got eat too, That's all I'm saying.
All right, let me grab a call here, John, what's up,
Hey, what's going on? Casey? I'm calling about the your your
your favorite little deer COVID story you got going all right now? I don't
know if it's my favorite. Just just creep me out, sir, but
go ahead. Yeah, so I have. It's kind of it's kind of
out there, all right. You got to stick with me because you're trying
to figure out how the COVID got, you know, from the person back
to the person, Okay, or you know, like this whole thing maybe
just maybe it's all made up, and the whole study they just made it
up. So they just made up that there which part is made up?
That deer have COVID or that there's a there are similarities in the variants.
Yeah they well no, I mean, maybe deer have COVID. But but
the fact, you know, your people are all out here mingling with all
the deer, you know, giving it and taking it. So maybe that
part, you know, is a little little bit far fetched or or and
another option. Have you heard the stories we've done over the years. Wouldn't
they didn't they just arrest some Mississippi for at ten year old or hooking up
with a dog or a horse or so, I don't remember what it was.
Plus you have a guy down in the burlet that your story was just
talking about. I'm I'm look, I'm just I want to know. But
I kind of don't want to know, so that's why I was bringing it
up. So if if it has to be, would definitely win if they
could make devices or something. All right, Well, now the crepactors hit
a living all right, John, thanks for the call. IM just saying,
get a get on a dating nap or something. Well, unless you're
a guy who doesn't make a bunch of money, this is this is the
most obnoxious attitude. Uh. This this chick who is a relationship expert.
A story on her giving advice out of San Diego, and um, you
know she's she's trying to help women who can't find can't find a man,
say, it's harder than ever and the advice she's giving is horrible. But
I think largely contributing to uh, these you know, these these creepy tiktoks
where some woman's like, I don't get it, I don't know what's going
on. I remember that woman's like, ah, every time I find a
nice guy, he's conservative, what do I do? So well, we'll
touch on that as well. Seven twenty two hang on keeping you connected.
This is WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the
triangle. All right, long second there to um get things rolling in this
hour, but we got lots of ground to cover, including a story that's
getting national attention. Out of the high point. It's the story of the
Hank and his owner, Adam Barnes. Hank is a black Lab and on
Sunday, a police officer fatally shot the dog, according to the family,
was the wrong dog. So we'll give you the details of that as you
can imagine a lot of outrage, but folks also defending the officer, so
we'll get into both sides coming up the show. After the show, it's
on the iHeartRadio app. Searchs Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio
app. All right, and there were a cup whole couple stories or one
video and then one story Meg of the rounds here recently. But sadly this
is not an unusual thing. It is occasionally something that law enforcement does.
This one just hit close to home. So over the weekend, a family
Adam Barnes is m is the I guess the patriarch's name, and he owned
owned a dog named Hank. Hank was a black lab. Barnes describes him
actually as his um is his son's dog more more than anything and Um.
They live in high Point and UM. On Sunday, police and High Point
responded to a call from a woman concerned about a stray German shepherd. It
was in her yard. Apparently was in the yard acting aggressive, so she
called told police as you do. Police showed up and in what is being
said to be a case of I guess, mistaken identity, when they arrived
on scene, initially they could not catch that dog, and a neighbor had
then pointed them in the direction of where the heat I guess they said the
dog was, but it turned out to be the wrong direction. And so
from around this house barking comes this black lab. The officer initially backed up
as the dog continued to charge, but eventually drew a service weapon and shot
the dog. At the time, the dog was reportedly about six feet away,
fired four shots, killing the dog. Obviously, a lab is not
a German shepherd. But and I'm curious what you think the dog was.
The dog was not just standing there now. The reason the dog was obviously
barking and approaching the officers because the officer was now on the dog's property I
guess or adjacent to it. It's a little hard in the story here to
figure out exactly where the officer was at the time, but yeah, he's
in front of the house, sees this dog coming around the corner of the
dog is barking as dogs do when you enter their property, and it was
at that point the dog, which had been with the family for nine years,
was shot. Let's see here if I let me read does this is
some quotes from w XII quote. The dog was within his own yard.
He had no reason to shoot. If the officer was fearful for his life,
he could have gotten back in the vehicle faster than he shot four shots
maybe I mean six feet away. And here's the I'm not taking a side
here. The whole thing is tragic and sad, but some people seem to
be trying to, I don't know, assign some sort of malice to this,
and it just sounds like there was miscommunication. There was a situation here
where the officer was directed by a witness in the wrong direction and didn't see
the initial dog and then sees this dog coming barrel around the house, barking,
coming aft, coming at him, and he reacted for his part.
In the interview, Adam said, quote, I'm not out here to you
know, call for anyone's job or get somebody fired, but I do want
you guys to acknowledge what happened. High Point Police and they're investigating the incident
at this time. And again, this it happens. It happens more times
than you think. Now generally when when an officer goes and dispatches an aggressive
dog, Um, there has been an incident where the dog has attacked somebody,
right, and we've had some pretty pretty nasty, brutal stories where um,
you know, we've seen people get killed by dogs here locally and around
the country, and when the officer shows up, especially if somebody's injured like
that, I think the expectation is that they're going to shoot the dogs.
And it's what's interesting to me is, um, the way that people are
reacting to this in the sense that it's all or nothing right either um either
you know, Hey, if you got a dog and it's it's it's being
aggressive, it's somebody, ye, then you should be able to go ahead
and shoot it. And then on the other side, it's no matter what's
going on, you can't shoot a dog dogs just being a dog and I
feel like the truth probably lies a little in the middle here. But I'm
curious what you think. And you know, when you get into like I
don't know the fencing situation here, I've lived. I lived. When I
lived in Minnesota, we had some people down the street who had these two
dogs and they did have them, they did have them in their yard,
but the dogs would constantly get out and they were really aggressive. And I
remember I was I was because it's where he pulled into where I lived,
and there is like these two kids that are they're like up against a tree
and they're bawling their eyes out. They're like five, and these dogs are,
you know, ten feet away, scaring the crap out of these kids.
And this is like, you know, the umpteenth time that we've seen
these dogs get out the guy. The guy was a real piece of crap.
And you know, I literally pulled over and I got out, and
I was armed, and I told the kids they could get in my car,
and then the kid one kid wouldn't get in the car because his mom
taught him right, But I'm like a dog. So but that ended up
kind of dispatching the dogs there because there was more aggressive people. Well,
eventually one of those dogs ended up, you know, it was one of
the relatives of the guy ended up mauling a He was a young teenager,
twelve or thirteen, pretty badly. So uh. And then some people are
saying, well, look, if you can't tell the difference between a German
shepherd and a black lab, you're an idiot. And I agree that you
should be able to tell the difference. But also they're going based on somebody
who called and IDENTI find that, and you know, you're not one hundred
percent that that person properly identified what the dog is. Eyewitnesses are there.
There are problems all the time I identify a vehicle, it turns out to
be something else they identify, in this case a dog. Maybe they don't
know that much about breeds. I don't know. So what do you think?
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. Yeah, so
yeah, So here's my email. Sorry, if you can't tell the difference
between a lab and a shepherd, you're a moron. I you know,
I feel that I could tell the difference, but also I'm basing it off
of a single report, and I have a secondary thing where a different neighbor
has now pointed me to a specific yard and they were wrong. So you
do have the air there. So police, sir, this is what they're
they're dealing with, is this dog. The whole scenario is just tragic and
sad, and I feel horrible for the family Lee. But I don't get
the impression the officers out there just like, hey, man, I hope
I get shoot a dog today. So you can weigh in on that.
Seven forty four all right, I'll look at this. So I got are
we doing Ray on the hot line or the comracsax? I see he's calling
in. We'll try the comrads. But he's calling in on the hot line.
Are you there, mister Staging? All right, it looks like he's
gonna be on the phone. So do you do? You do you?
Let's try it this way. Um, whole thing is now it's acting all
weird. There we go Ray stage from the weather channel. All right,
how are you doing? The man? You've got me somewhere. I don't
think there's a whole Yeah, we could. We could hear you on the
comradsh that's funny. I got you on the phone now. So let's just
let's just roll with this, bad boys, because somebody's playing music and the
other thing. So yeah, good time, all right, all right,
no problem, We'll just do this and then we'll do it on the phone
in the next hour. Yeah, there's there's some there's some out of town
hosts that are doing shows in the building and it's uh yeah, yeah yeah,
but that's we thought it was today, but it's until tomorrow. So
phones phones for the rest of the week. Firewayser, which it sounds good.
Well, it looks good. Um. There was a little small area
of showers feader showers Ralphayville earlier this morning and well south of us, and
that's moving away, so that's good news. There's a little clouder than that.
We are in good shape here this morning. Lots of sunshine. I'm
gonna see a little kick in the humidity upward as we hit about nineties.
Some will be just above same thing tomorrow and it's gonna start feeling closer to
one hundred with the heathendecks tomorrow, So get a little sticky out there in
the coming days. That will be Friday. In the weekend, we'll start
getting shower steader showers. The bias will be towards the gapter dooon hours.
Hot humid weather expected typical Mitchell by little mid nineties, maybe a little bit
above average, but the heat and disease will make it feel quite a bit
warmer, probably close to one hundred. So well you'll dodge storms, but
in between that'll be hot. All right, thank you, sir, appreciate
it. We'll talk in an hour, okay, okay, all right?
Uh and again phone number eight eight eight, because I'm dumb, Okay,
what a day? What a day? What is is? I know?
I'm I'm well aware. I did see the other video, this one in
Ohio where they shot what was it a golden lab or a golden golden retriever?
I got it, man, it look it's horrible. But I also
saw the video of those two pits that were chomping down on that dude and
um and police went up there and doing everything in their power to separate these
dogs so they could put them down. So and those were pitched, and
then we had the woman with what was it like? Was it weener dogs?
You got killed by six wiener dogs? So with that in mind,
we'll get your your takes coming up seven forty six. Hang on Thank You,
jec Is on five WUTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM
Talk in the Triangle. I welcome back seven to fifty one. Let's see
here. This seems to be the dividing line, and I guess I'm a
little unclear. I can go off what was said in the interview as to
whether the officer was physically on the property or was quote in front of the
property quote there was a stranger in front of his house while his family was
out there, and he doesn't know them from Adam. He's gonna bark,
he's gonna run. And also keep in mind, um an officer, uh
you know, goes up and knocks on the door. They don't need a
warrant to do that, right, So, I again, I understand what
people's concerns are here. I get it. Somebody pointed to a scenario where,
um, you know what happens if an officer is on your property because
they have the wrong property and you come around the house screaming at him and
something happens. There's been incidents like that, But I guess I didn't get
the impression the officer was like digging around in the backyard here. I don't
even he says, in front of the house, So I don't know if
he means on the sidewalk or if he means literally walking up the porch to
knock. They said, the whole situation sucks. So let's just get into
some phone calls here, Scott, what's up, hey, Casey, love
your show man. So what do you think about this? Well, my
take is, all right, we're looking for a German shepherd. He shoots
the black lab. Yeah, that can go horribly wrong if it was human
being. Yeah, personally, I think the officer needs to be removed.
Well, in this scenario, does the human being come from around the house
and uh and is moving aggressively at the officer or is it the human says,
get off my property, because I understand what you're saying. But there
is a dog. A dog's gonna a dog is gonna bark regardless if you
don't know you sure, nine times out of ten. Okay, But once
again, we're looking for a German shepherd. Well, we're not a black
lamb. We're we're we're going off of a single individual witness and then another
witness contradicted that witness by from a location standpoint right, so right, this
is this is this it's also messy. Yeah, yeah, no, I
hear you. I mean they're roughly the same size, I guess, you
know, so there is some milarities there. You know, if it was
a Chihuahua that rolled around and you were looking for a malamute, I think
that would be pretty clear. But a black lab, a German shepherd roughly
going to be the same size. And again I don't know, they're investigating.
We'll see, but sadly it's not that uncommon. And you know,
it was the dog on the property the whole time or did the dog leave
the property. So I wish there was a little more info, Scott.
I appreciate the call this morning, though, I get your concern. Um
let's see here, Jake, Hey, good morning. Yeah. I recently
lost my dog, so I could feel with a Sago owner. I lost
him on Saturday. But he was one of the best protective dogs, alert
dog that you could really ever get. And about four years back, I
had police in my yard with an AAR fifteen advancing on a house up the
road, which is kind of a big deal. And I guarantee if I
didn't have a fenced in yard, I would have a dead dog, and
I wouldn't hold it against the cops. Not to mention the fact that if
you want a dog for protection and companionship, it is also your obligation to
protect that dog as well as that dog's obligation to protect you. Yeah,
I agree with that. And again I don't know, you know, because
there's some dogs like where you don't even need a fence. They won't leave
the property or they have the underground to the invisible fence, right, really
don't necessarily know that. I mean, sometimes there'll be a sign there that
says that, but you don't necessarily know that. I was playing golf one
Yeah, I was playing golf at a course one time, and one of
the people on the course had it and this dog started making a bee line
for me because I was right up against the out of bound steak and I
didn't realize they had invisible fence, and that dog stopped about four feet short
of me because the dog knew. But for a moment there, I'm like,
I'm gonna have to hit this dog with this three wood because I didn't
know what the reason I bought my house was garage and had a fence in
yard. I mean the fence in yard. It could be a very big
selling feature, not to mention the fact that's safer and good senses to make
good neighbors. Yeah, I hear you, all right, Jake, thanks
for the thanks for the call. Um, So people, why didn't they
taze or pepper spray the dog? I don't know. Obviously, it's a
lot smaller target to hit with a taser, and uh, you know,
people consistently, I've seen a lot of law enforcement videos where the taser just
it doesn't stick, doesn't work, it wasn't the right shot. Dog's gonna
be moving faster, and um, you know, I don't know. I
don't know what policy is there, to be quite honest with you. So,
but it's a fair question, Brian, about a minute, go ahead,
Yeah, good morning. Look, I think it's an extremely unfortunate event,
and I like dogs most times, and I like people. However,
I do think the cops should have known the difference between a German shepherd and
a lab being as most German Shepherds are police dogs. However, under this
situation, when you're being embarked at and run out by a dog, I
don't care how big or strong or tough you are. It's a scary situation.
And the cop reactor the dog was within six feet. I think everyone's
just looking to hate on the police and look at another reason to put him
in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. And I think it's unfortunate. I
think that your first caller, Scott says the top to lose his job is
ridiculous. It's just it's just a sucky event. That's all there is to
it. Well, and you know what, maybe during the investigation the officer
violated a bunch of procedures and we find that out. I mean, I
don't know that to be the case. So right, maybe let's let's let's
figure it out. Let's wait and see what happens. All right, we'll
get a bunch of one away in happy to do that. All right.
We got another hour to go, so for sure we'll get your calls if
you want to get them lined up phone number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. And and keep in mind six feet distance. Um,
you know one of the things officers, I know it was a twenty
one feet somebody with a knife. You know, they're taught that if somebody's
within twenty some feet of you, and they have a knife. You may
not be able to get to your firearms the time. This dog's at six
feet and he's faster. Remember, well, I guess that means we're in
good morning everybody at his hour number three here at eight o seven. So
I've got people up set with me on both sides of this dog story.
I feel like I've been really kind of middle of the road hoping to hear
what you have to be. So either I want dog shot or I want
officers demonized. Oh kay ah eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. Well, um, we have more of your calls on it.
But again there's, you know, there's some stuff we don't know. There
is a couple of witness statements. There is the statements from the dog owner
in the interview they did with w XII, and um, I guess I
just I assume that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. But we'll keep
chewing on this. Let me get some more calls her Carol, what's up?
Are you speaking to me? Yes, already ahead, you're on the
air. Okay. So I was wondering at first whether it was the same
family that had called the police and it was not. They went to a
different house, which is where they were told the dog lived, and but
I have found it on Google Maps. It does not have sensing, so
there's that. But it's just really unfortunate. And nobody has said that the
police officer didn't realize that wasn't a German shepherd. He shot a dog that
was the look to be getting ready to attack him. So I don't think
that saying that they can't tell the difference between a lab and a German shepherd
makes any sense. Well, I just I hold out the possibility that sometimes
witnesses or people who call nine one one not intentionally, but you know,
I have given inaccurate information, and um, that's all. That's something that's
going to be in an officer's mind, even if he did notice the difference.
We're talking about some that transpired in seconds. So UM, but I
wasn't there. I was not in the mind of the officer either. But
people who are saying this guy's got some like blood lust for dogs, um,
I don't think that that's fair at this point, and unless new evidence
comes out. So yeah, it's just really unfortunate. So thanks for taking
my call. Yeah, I think anyone viewing this story realizes it's horrible.
I would hope, but I don't know some of the email I'm getting,
maybe none. Maybe I give some people too much credit. All right,
Hello, what's up hey, Casey? So I'll call him out the down
taste class surprised. So the way I see it, that doll was there
for a reason. It wasn't because of cheating Cuddly. That was a working
doll. Okay, criminals have working dogs. They don't have pets. Okay,
in my opinion, leave them a white and let them do what it
takes to get the trash off the street. If you've got a dog to
keep the cops out of your house, that's a problem. That dollar's gone.
Well, well, nobody's accusing the family that I mean, it sounds
like they admit that this was this was the wrong house, and right,
I understand that, but at the time that was an information they didn't have.
So they were going based off of what they the information they had.
And you know, stuff happens when you, you know, hang out with
the wrong people living on neighborhoods. You know whatever. I don't know,
again, I I don't know. I don't know, I don't think it's
unreasonable if people have dogs that those dogs when people appear to be coming on
the property, bark. But it comes into a fencing issue, it comes
into uh does the dog stay on the property. There's a thousand things we
don't know here, so but I appreciate the call this morning. Okay,
all right, yeah, I again the homeowner. By the way, in
the interview, he sounds like a perfectly reasonable individual. He even went on
to say, look, I'm not I don't I'm not calling for anyone's job.
I just want them to acknowledge what happened. Somebody come out and say
they're sorry. And if the if the information bears that, I don't feel
that that's an unreasonable request. Let's see here, Anthony, what's up?
Hey? Man? Just wanted to say, I'm assuming you guys never got
to see the bodycam footage, but Channel twelve showed the bodycam and the dash
cam footage of the officer as he arrived on the scene, and from the
footage you could tell that there were four or five people standing in that yard,
and there were three or four lads and they were just all running around
plague and had the officer took five seconds to look at the scene before he
ever got out of the car, he would have known he was in no
danger there. But he got out of the car with his gun in his
hand already and walked it. Never even got into the yard. He was
still in the street when he shot the dog. The dog came running around
the car, and they also showed footage of him as he was getting ready
to leave the scene after the other officers had got there and took control of
the scene, and he admitted to one of his officers that he was scared
of dogs to begin with and probably shouldn't have gotten out of the car.
And I agree with them if he doesn't, if he's scared of dogs,
he never should have answered that call to begin with, because that puts him
in a bad situation to begin with. Yeah, and so I did see
a small snippet of it, But when the guy was talking about him and
retreating, um, I didn't know if the officer had had at any point
stepped in and then backed up. So thank you for clarifying that. But
also, you know, dogs, especially a lab, but a dog in
general, is gonna run at you. We've all had dogs run at us,
and you know, most of us are are pretty good gauge of that
dog either intends to bite me or that dog wants to lick me to death,
do you know what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, So you know,
it comes it comes down to what the officer was thinking and if and
if he already had a problem with dogs or was scared of them. Um,
that definitely could influence it. I I don't disagree with you, so
all right, yeah, that's uh. Any any officer that's scared of an
animal like that, they should wait till they've got back up before they get
out, because, like you say, they they're already predisposed to be aggressive
towards that animal if they think they're in the leash a little bit of danger.
What did that? But to be fair, that dog didn't look like
he was running up for hugs. And even the homeowner says, you know,
he says, the dog's barking because somebody's out in front of the yard.
So there was a certain protection element to it. But you know,
most of us can get to read on dogs pretty quick. Yeah. But
again, Hetty sat in this car and observed for about fifteen seconds. The
other people would have had the dogs under control by then, but he got
out of the car with a gun in his hand, and that was the
wrong way to approach the situation to begin with. Well, and here's the
other thing, and I literally witnessed this yesterday. A woman was walking two
dogs out in front of my house and around the corner here comes a lady
who's she's got like six dogs with her. She's walking. Two of them
are off leash, and one of them barrels over. And I've seen that
woman who walks those dogs. They were they all walking a line. They're
a bunch of old dogs, and I've never seen them do anything like that.
But the woman who was who I had not seen before, with the
two dogs. She was terrified. And what triggered that dog was her two
dogs, not the woman, was the So you know, the officer doesn't
know maybe that maybe he thinks that that dog is in that yard even with
the other dogs and the people, because now he's gone over to be aggressive
there. So I'm saying, all of these scenarios exist, so we shall
see. All right, thank you very much for the call. We try
to just fit these last two in here because I got a few other things.
I want to get to before the show is over? Roy, what's
up? Hey, Casey? I don't know how I can follow that last
long call. You pretty much just won the game. But my family breeds
laughs. We interact with the police force all the time. We give dogs
away for various institutions. Every law enforcement officer understands what a lab is.
And if you see a black lab with gray and his beard, you know
that dogs not aggressive because the black lab is not a common black lab grey
in his beard. If he's aggressive, this officer, based on your previous
phone call, I'm eating this all through. It is blankingy black and there's
no other way around it. There isn't a procedure issues. This is a
humanity is hold on, let me just can I just push back for a
little on one thing because I I inevitably I always get this list sent to
me whenever we do a story, usually about a pit bulls or and I
agree with you pit bulls or not black labs. However, if you look
at the statistics, and it's just based on numbers, not per capita,
but numbers of of attacks and bites by dog breeds, labs are right up
there, and it's due to the fact that they're one of the most popular
dogs. So there's a lot more of exactly right, exactly so exact well,
no, no, but it's misleading in the sense that people are they're
they're being dishonest about you know, per per one hundred thousand versus total numbers.
But it also points to the fact that there are lots of circumstances where
black labs do bite people, right, But yeah, a black lab that
bites a person does not become a black flably gray in his beard, and
you can see gray in a black labs of beard from a well more than
six feet away. So this officer just was in the wrong one hundred percent,
and your previous caller didn't nailed it with video events. But that's all
I want to say. All right, okay, all right, all right,
thanks for the thanks for the call there. Um, yeah, a
lot of a lot of finites here, and now that they're gonna let you
do it, I'd be very interested too to see a full interview with that
officer, but they'll they'll give you the investigations ongoing things, so you probably
won't. Right now, Rob, what's up? Oh? I disagree with
both those two previous callers that you never know on a large stock what if
they're going to attack or if it get stuff that's going on because you don't
know the owner. It's it, he asked. Breeds are important, that
the ownership is more important, how they raise them, and to get to
go into a situation as a police officers has a situation and hey, something's
a dog's attacking a large dog. Well, the size difference between a black
lab and a pitbull or a German shepherd really in that much. And going
into the situation, having people in the yard making sure that they're okay,
and a dog in that video coming around the car hot or not. You
know, that's that's ready. You gotta be ready for action. Unfortunately,
And the police officer, sure, he can apologize, but he was doing
what he felt was his duty to protect his community, which is what he
has charged with as a police officer. That's that's their duty. But I
did I did want to ask if I could say just one more little thing.
Well, okay, what is it about sir Joe Biden is a big
bag of suck? All right? Fair enough? I seem to remember you
having that opinion about Obama as well. So you remembered. Yeah, well
it's a it's a strange turn of phrase, sir. So yeah, it's
a great situation. So well, right now, all right, thanks thanks
for the color. Up. He's taking a nap right now, so he
wouldn't he wouldn't even hear you. Um. I worked as a UPS.
I worked at upas as a driver, interacted with dogs often. I knew
how and learned to handle all types. Well look there, yeah, I
mean obviously you're gonna be dealing with them like the mailman on a much more
regular basis. I don't disagree with you there, but um, ultimately again,
and let me give you let me give you an example here. Um,
and this is this is more. This is more situational. This is
more of a country thing, and more specifically, this is more of a
wyoming thing, at least from my experience growing up. If you have dogs
and they're you know, they're riding around the back of your truck, and
one of them decides he looks into a field, it's not your field,
see some cows, and it's like, man, I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna go chase me some cows around because that sounds like fun. There is
a very high likelihood that if that rancher sees it, he's gonna shoot that
dog, because, um, you know, you know, you don't want
them harrass you don't want anything harassing cattle. You don't want to take them
weight off of them, you don't want them running. They could get injured,
obviously. So the mindset there is control your dog at all times,
and you don't want to mend it up. You don't want to mend it
up on somebody else's property because a lot of a lot of a lot of
those folks they might as well be a coyote at that point. So and
you'd be mad at me about that. I'm just explaining the situation as it
existed where I grew up. And I can think of several instances where dogs
got out, they got on somebody else's property, they were out of harassing
livestock, and the rancher dispatched them and they didn't get charged for it.
Now, this is a law enforcement officer, obviously, it's a you know,
it's not a herd of cattle sitting there. But um, people react
in a lot of different ways, and sometimes they react in ways that you
disagree with, and that's when it becomes um, that's when it becomes you
as part of a responsible pet owner, not putting your dog in that situation.
So all right, yeah, send your hate mail. That's fine,
We'll we'll bang through all of that, all right, Crazy this crazy,
This is I think one of the best summations of this article of what is
really wrong. I think where people are saying, it's it's just so hard
for folks to meet each other, and why can't I find a good person?
Women saying what the hell is wrong with men? Men saying what's wrong
with modern women? And and onward and upward, And we get in these
debates that this woman is somehow seen as a relationship expert and is seemingly giving
the worst advice I've ever seen, and people pay her for this too.
And in my experience, if you follow this woman's advice, and she's mostly
advising women, obviously you're probably gonna be single for a long time. But
I'll let you be the judge, okay. And the irony, of course
is as I saw the picture of her too with her husband, and he's
not smiling in the photo. I look, I understand I'm projecting just a
little there about what it must be to be around her, But ultimately it's
it's it's some of the worst advice, but it's also something that I think
permeates a lot of modern culture, and we'll talk about it. Plus,
let's see here one other thing I want to get into. Two Do Do
Do Do Do? Had a reset all of my little Twitter stories there.
Do you know what? Do you know what the term slugging means? I
didn't until this morning, and I got to tell you I would have been
My life would be better off not knowing what this means. Yet Vasoline,
the brand of Vasoline, on their Twitter account, caused quite the quite the
story yesterday. Lots of a lot of jokes too, So we'll do it
delicately. We'll get you that the relationship story, plus a few other news
things, all coming up here before the before the end of the show again
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four the phone number. We're
gonna move on from the dog thing though, just because we did get a
lot of calls, So stay tuned for the rest of the news coming up.
All right, Smart Talk all day, WPTI in the Triad and one
oh six one FM Talk in the triangle. All right, welcome back.
It is eight thirty six here on the case O Day radio program. All
right, so I've now seen about ten of the folks who are on strike
pushing back on this this Deadline article claiming that it's a negotiating tactic by the
studios. Ross sent this to me earlier. Why is it no loading the
article? There we go? All right, now it's loaded at three times.
Um. Yeah, so this is from Deadline. Hollywood Studios WGA Writers
Guild of America America strike endgame is to let writers grow broke, go broke
before resuming talks in the fall. So basically they're gonna wait them out,
They're going to bankrupt them, and they'll, you know, they'll break the
union. Um. I think we're in for a long stripe. We're not
gonna let it bleed out, said one industry veteran intimate with the point of
view of studio CEOs. So this is UH, purportedly the strategy among the
UH you know, the big streamers like Disney, Netflix and UH Paramount and
obviously the various UH movie and TV show producers. There the big concern and
the you know, the where the where this thing gets real con spiratorial is
that ultimately they'll break them because they have a fallback in The fall back is
having AI write stuff all right, do you believe that? I mean,
we've seen how many examples were AI literally just made stuff up, and then
somebody's like, I don't think that's true, and and then it's like,
now you're right now. Granted, when you're crafting, you're crafting fiction stories
in many instances, even if you purport to be using or doing and working
for a reality TV show. I mean, it's it's all garbage fiction.
But do you think do you think that that they're willing to bet it all
on that, or do you think that this is simply a side effect of
how badly these studios have and this much of itself inflicted, have found themselves
doing what was what was the Disney I remember looking at the year over year
for Disney movies and it was crazy how much money they've lost this year just
because they've had so many movies that just know they've absolutely cratered, just aren't
getting it done. And so you know whether whether it is some long game
thing that they're trying here. And this anonymous source for Deadline is spot on
or it's simply just movie companies going, um, we're bleeding man, and
um, so we're not. We're not going to move at all. And
and right, you and I were talking about this soft the year. I
don't even I don't even know fully what they want. I think they want
some expansion on streaming with residuals there that maybe they don't get in their current
contract. And you know, admittedly that's a fair conversation piece. I don't
care whether you whether you are a writer in Hollywood or an actor, or
you're you're a guy on the radio. The fact is that we are the
whole the whole industry is evolving, okay, right, So, um,
you know, the the amount of people who listen to this show and do
it via one of our app our website is a number that grows every year.
So you know, the way that content is delivered, even from a
radio perspective, is changing. Arguably, it's changing a lot faster over on
the TV side of things and the movie side of things. So you know,
if you've got if you have a contract that doesn't take those into account.
I can understand why people are upset over that. I gotta get it,
but Also, you got to counterbalance that against the fact that these the
companies are losing their butts in many instances, and a lot of it,
a lot of the blame doesn't just lie with the studios for green lighting this
stuff and and going forward. It's Hollywood writers, man. Look at the
garbage they churn out, Look at look at how everything has to you know,
be some not everything, but a good portion of it has to have
some social justice angle. The product right has been insufferable and just abysmal.
It's been so bad. So if they're asking four more money, listen odds
are I'm guessing anyway, they're probably making more money than the average dude,
you know, slaving away digging a ditch right on the side of the road.
Yes, the guy work in construction. I'm guessing they're probably getting paid
well. Yeah, you know, like anything else, it comes down to
what projects you're working on and um, you know, and and how much
you work. But yeah, for the most part, if you're if you're
a full time writer in Hollywood, you're making more money in the dude doing
the road construction. But I'm I'm shocked at people in the comments of the
tweet I sent you at, like, I would say easily nine out of
ten, if not more, are all on the side of the writers,
and they're all like, you know, it's the greedy billionaire and they can't
believe that the studio would actually want to force these people to give up the
strike, right, They're like, oh my god, they're actually their plan
is to break the union and have them lose their homes and their apartments,
so you know they have to actually start working again. Well, yeah,
that's typically how these things work, right, Otherwise you wouldn't have the strike.
They would just give you what you want when you want it. Well,
you gotta have leverage, right, and you know, going back in
the day the writers, remember the writer's strike, what was it ten fifteen
years ago? I think they're under the still kind of the same deal.
They had loverage, They had leverage then. Companies were still making money.
They were making you know, a normal amount, which is a very good
amount, and there was some beginning of the evolution of things, and they
went on strike and it severely negatively impacted the bottom line. But those are
not the conditions right now. No, before you could do it right,
and as always, the powers in the hand of the consumers, right,
if you want to, if you're on the side of the writers, boycott
the product. And if the studios hurt enough, they might go back to
the writers and say, Okay, we'll give into your demands and we miss
you. However, it's twenty twenty three and now there's different alternatives, right,
they can go the AI route, or they could even outsource it.
Yeah. Absolutely, And also there are a ton of movie companies that are
not Hollywood based movie companies. So you know, do you think the do
you think there's a writer's strike at Go Well USA, which is the big
Chinese one that is literally funds half the damn movies out there? Now?
Do you think there's a bunch of Chinese script writers currently walking a picket line
somewhere in Beijing. I suspect that's not the case. So when it comes
to the AI. Recently, I saw some people on the artist front freaking
out about there's the new Marvel show Secret Invasion, which is about it's got
a Samuel Jackson and he's Nick Fury. It's the Marvel Universe, right,
Yeah, it's it's a new show. The intro to that show, they
was revealed, was made completely by AI. No artists touched. It was
all done. I think it was. What's the one um, I can't
remember. The AI program is called or something like that. Yeah, yeah,
so it made and the artists are like, oh my god. You
know Marvel doesn't support artists. Well they can now plug in whatever they want
to this machine and boom they get it produced in no time. But don't
they don't have to pay anybody. Yeah, I'm telling you the you have
to. You got to take into account the landscape. And it's a landscape
that most of the people walk in the picket line helped create. And you
know, don't give me this garbage. By the while, we were just
doing what the studio companies wanted us to do, kind of, but they
weren't twisting your arm. I see your tweets. This is this is the
garbage you think you want to. You want to you want to shovel out
there, and it's not going well. And meanwhile, Mission Impossible and the
trafficking movie they're they're gonna make a gazillion friggin dollars this weekend. And nobody's
like, ah, you know what, maybe they looked at they looked at
the top gun sequel last year, and like it never dawned on anybody that
maybe Tom Cruise is the only one who has it figured out right now.
They it never occurred to them, so you know, they're just like,
oh, no, we need to get what we need to take this old
product and making Nanna Jones one of the least likable people we could and get
a strong independent woman in there to take the reins. Well, that's not
what people wanted to see, and the numbers bear it out. Eight forty
five race Agic Weather Channel joining us. Now, what's going on, sir?
Not much gonna heat up around here the next couple of days, talking
about humidity, coming back to some uncomfortable weather and then maybe some showers,
thunder showers. So close to ninety today, someone'll stay in the upper eighties
with lots of sunshine today, probably be in the sixties again this morning to
the west of the mountains. We talked about that earlier in the week.
It wasn't the fifties again, so it was another pleasant morning there, but
then low nineties tomorrow, maybe a storm in the afternoon, I think Friday,
and into the weekend scattered showers and butter storms. Little buyas towards the
afternoon hours, hot and humid, probably lower mid nineties across the region,
the low nineties for the Triad, mid nineties for the Triangle. UM took
a quick look into the tropics. How much going on? There is an
area of disturb weather in the central Atlantic as a chance of developing at about
fifty percent, but that looks like it is moving away. So for the
beaches, it looks like nothing more but typical mid July afternoon showers thunder storms.
Will be aware of that as you had on that later in the week
and this upcoming weekend. All right, thank you very much, sir.
We'll chat tomorrow. Okay, okay, all right, there you go.
Race Aging from the Weather Channel and Joan Donneger from Bloomberg News joins us.
Next one FM Talk w PTI, two stations driving them best talk. This
is casey Oda and Carolina's Morning News casey Oda Radio program. John Donnaker,
Bloomberg News. What's happened on this one? Oh? Okay, she's on
the foe. She's not on the comradation. Okay, all right, well
that's fun. Ah let me uh well, we'll wait and see wait see
here in just a moment. Let me add one other thing too. I
was thinking about with this with this Writer's Guild thing. Uh, it was
fifteen years ago when they had the last strike. We talked about the evolution
of things. One of the things that has evolved immensely because of how we
consume entertainment products now is the calendar. You know, some of the leverage
you're going to have fifteen years ago is that people were used to they their
shows and they knew that. You know, he had a couple of seasons
of the show. You had the fall in the spring seasons, and and
you knew how many episodes there were going to be in a rough timeline of
when they were going to be there, and everything was pretty regular. That's
not how we do things. I mean, don't get me wrong. There's
still network TV, but less and less people watch that, and more and
more people consume on the streaming model. And while some shows are fed on
a weekly basis, a lot of them they just they upload an entire season
and it is a very long time between each season, right. No,
No longer are those days of once you're your show in the spring goes off,
you just wait through the summer and then it'll be back in the fall.
It's years, literally years in many instances. How many shows did you
watch the season of the almost forget to go back, and then like two
years later you're like, oh, look at that, there's another season coming
out. Because that's that's that's the scenario. So rather than perhaps pressure from
the public going, oh, man, I don't know what I'm I don't
know what I'm gonna do if we get to the end of summer my favorite
shows not there, the fact is people are more used to waiting for a
very long time, so you don't have that added additional pressure on the on
the writers or excuse me, on the studios. So like the whole the
whole dynamic has changed. Yeah, I mean back in the day, right,
remember that during there was Star Trek the Next Generation. Right, this
season, you would have like twenty thirty episodes per season, so if the
writers were to strike, man, it would cause serious damage. Whereas now,
like you said, you have to wait maybe a year or two for
six or seven episodes. Yeah, and now and now also we have reality
television. Unfortunately, yes we do, so they can just turn a camera
and follow the Kardashian said not to say, obviously the show is writers and
most of it is fake anyway, but it's easier to produce than say,
you know, a big show. Yeah, so um, this is Um
it'll be interesting to watch it play out, all right, speaking of mindsets,
I don't understand. So I was reading this, and I gotta tell
you, any anyone who would pay this chick ascent deserves everything they get.
Now, this is This is one of the constant debates you see and discussions
going on in social media and whatnot. And it it's like, um,
you know, uh, why aren't why aren't men how we want them to
be? And then on the men's say, why aren't women how we want
them to be? And uh, there's a lot of changing attitudes on things,
and some of them are really really bad. Carla Eliah, who is
a relationship coach earns your living teaching women how to find the right man,
has some advice and I think it's more rible you're ready. So she claims
that's many clients struggle to find the perfect man because they have the wrong mindset.
She advises women not to date men who quote can't afford their lifestyle and
and any guy on a low salary she advises shouldn't be dating in the first
place because women are investments and men don't understand that. Yes, yeah,
being treated right is the bare minimum, suggesting women shouldn't be treated equally to
men because women's time is quote more precious. The coach claims many clients struggle
to find the perfect man because they they don't understand how to find a provider
mindset who will give the partners. I'm not gonna be able to read the
whole thing just with the with the amount of time we have left. But
it's horrible, horrible advice, and because it it flies in the face of
everything that modern culture would tell us about. You know, it's it's the
whole thing. You want to quality till you have to pay for the for
your half of the meal. But it's like that on steroids. But the
part where she just telling men, look, if you don't make a lot
of money, you shouldn't even be in the dating pool because her mindset is
that is all that it comes down to. And don't get me wrong,
evaluating a partner or a potential future partner's ability to you know, hold down
a job, meet financial responsibilities are all important things, but that's not what
she's talking about. She's she is furthering this thing where she's telling women you
all deserve the top one tenth of one percent and you shouldn't settle for any
less. And I don't know how that's a winning formula for somebody who's being
paid and likely has clients who you know, wants some results there. But
I digress. I don't know. Maybe because it's in San Diego, that's
how it is. In my experience, women are scared of speaking their standards.
They think there are no men like that out there, when actually there's
a big pool of men with provide her mindset. And when I hear provide
her mindset, she's quickly wants to point out it's not about any of the
traditional things. Reject that, and anyone who has that is not worth your
time. You know where it's like, you know, I'm gonna play the
male role, you're gonna play the female role. She summarily rejects that.
She just bels that because women are investments that men need to pony up regardless,
And she puts a list of the gifts that are to be expected during
non during the early dating time. I mean the whole thing is just Bonsors.
But hey, if you want to never find anyone, there you go.
