WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:05.879 I hope everyone's having a wonderful, wonderful uh, not quite even halfway morning, 2 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.919 but yeah, it's uh. I'm glad you're here because there is just 3 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.960 a ton of stuff to get into. As I guess MSNBS, I can't 4 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.559 play the audio. I guess I could if I had Ross bleep it, 5 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.719 but I just saw it as we get a little honesty out of MSNBC, 6 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:33.679 which was really nice, Joy read. I gotta tell you, if somebody 7 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:39.679 works around microphones that are either on or off, it is a it is 8 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:44.439 a moment of paranoia, and you know, best practices when you're anywhere near 9 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.320 that microphone, even if you believe you're off there, even if you think 10 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:53.079 the show's done, even if it's Saturday and you came in to fix something 11 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.079 and you're grumbling and all that, like, never ever, ever, ever, 12 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:03.880 ever be saying stuff in a micro room that could hurt you. And 13 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.319 yet TV has a certain comfort level, right, and that comfort level is 14 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.480 one hundred percent on that team who's in the you know, the the mixed 15 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:22.079 studio there, whoever is in the technical studio. And so Joy Reid's doing 16 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:30.040 a little cut with Joe Biden and comments from Anthony Blincoln. And there's two 17 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:37.040 things they were commenting on yesterday. There was what is the nature of hostage 18 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:45.599 release negotiations with all of the Israel Palestine stuff, and he indicated that there's 19 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.079 a framework and they're working on it. And again, this is what makes 20 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:56.239 it lunacy because we actually know what the initial offer was, and it seems 21 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.079 to be the one I think most people are like, yeah, no, 22 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.840 that sounds fine, and it was, Hey, give us all the hostages 23 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:09.199 back and we'll authorize a two or three month or whatever that that number bounced 24 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:15.240 a little ceasefire while we work towards these other goals. And they're like, 25 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.800 no, not gonna do that. So all of these idiots running around trying 26 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.159 to scare children near marbles, they're literally doing what you want. So why 27 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.439 what are you doing? And you know, the fact is it's kind of 28 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.520 trendy. So you see that stuff working forward. And then what's gonna happen 29 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.719 with now three dead US soldiers We do know a little more how it happened. 30 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:47.879 I'll get into that. Who were in They were in their barrack right 31 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.840 and and you know, when it comes to Iran and members of our military 32 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:59.960 being killed in their barracks. This is not our first rodeo. So there's 33 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:06.840 that uh barracks and or on their ship. And I told you the story 34 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:14.240 of that time we went out to do a commensurate I think we went after 35 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.199 the frigate. So Iran had a frigate that was there. They had two 36 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.319 that were their their big boys. We were going to go grease one or 37 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:27.639 immobilize one more accurately, and we ended up destroying half of their navy. 38 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:34.840 But now Blinken saying, well, what we're gonna do is gonna be multi 39 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:40.199 layered, it'll be going on for a while. So arguably a very different 40 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:46.639 approach than than Trump, even if just just remove your political analysis from from 41 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:54.159 the individuals you saw. You saw when Trump decided to use retaliatory action, 42 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.520 right, you saw once in Syria, and he saw twice with Iran. 43 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.879 One time we turned a dude to missed and then the next time we're like, 44 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:10.240 that was too quick, Let's use dogs, and we went that route. 45 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.439 And then we had got to watch Trump doing a speech about beauty, 46 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.480 big beautiful military dogs, which I thought is hilarious, and of course the 47 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.360 media lost their mind over it. So that's where we are with that. 48 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:30.279 So Joy reads on MSNBC and she's playing clips. Here's what the President said 49 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.879 that I would never question live on the air, have any opinion of a 50 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:46.240 negative, negative variety. And literally the moment, the absolute moment that she 51 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.839 cuts to the clip, she says really loudly, obviously thinking her mic is 52 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.680 off too. I guess her control room. She says, he's quote starting 53 00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:04.879 another effing war. Yeah, what was even the focus of the segment? 54 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:10.959 Republicans take credit for stuff they voted against. So she's literally doing a Republican 55 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.360 hip piece. And obviously she has great driving concerns. And I know, 56 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.360 look, it's her Show's a quote unquote news show. She can cover any 57 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.720 of these news stories. She did. She did it under the guys, 58 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.839 the Republicans bad. But yeah, yeah, how do you really feel? 59 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.800 Oh, that's how you really feel. In the same way, I wonder 60 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.560 if some of the Fox hosts really are like, yeah, let's destroy Tehran 61 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:46.160 because Lindsey Graham said so, dude, Lindsey Graham might be the he might 62 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.079 be the chief warmonger of our generation. There's always one in the Senate to 63 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:55.079 just like turn it to glass. And I get that but he got explained 64 00:05:55.079 --> 00:06:01.800 strategically how that works because you know history of stuff, and you have to 65 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:09.959 factor it through. Not the idea that our military is incapable of accomplishing certain 66 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.600 things. It's will they be capable of questioning things based on the orders that 67 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.800 they're given and the rules of engagement and everything that they're asked to do under 68 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:28.279 you know, hamstrung conditions. That's you know, that's that is the thought 69 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.680 process that has to go through there. And I wonder if that's where if 70 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:40.360 that enters Lindsey Graham's brain. But whatever, he's all for it, and 71 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.959 they actually have thoughts over at MSNBC. So, ah, what are you 72 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.800 going to do there? All right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven 73 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.199 eight seven four our phone number? You want to be on the show. 74 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.480 So that's just where we'll start things off. We got we got Hollywood doing 75 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:04.360 Hollywood stuff again. Oh, you're gonna be excited about this the Ross You 76 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:09.920 were right, buddy, You're right. I don't know what the topic is, 77 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.399 but I know you know what the topic. What did I text you 78 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:19.800 yesterday a picture of I don't remember. I've already deleted the thread, you 79 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.839 know, I am, And then I realized we have all that other threat 80 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.079 because I was telling you about locks and stuff. So hold on, hold 81 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.079 on, let me grab this. Yeah, because I texted to you and 82 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.720 it might have been in that window where you were either taking a nap or 83 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.920 running around doing stuff for the Baltimore Sun. Forget Kamala Harris put Taylor Swift 84 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:41.160 on Joe Biden's ticket. Right, That's what I was saying off theory yesterday. 85 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.720 Yeah, Favag said the same thing too, Right, you had like 86 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:49.399 a conspiracy theory with that. He's like, you know, she's gonna maybe 87 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.839 it was somebody else that said that, but like you know, after the 88 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.040 game, they're gonna win obviously because she's so good for revenue for the NFL, 89 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.680 he's gonna propose, they're gonna get married, and then after they propose, 90 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.399 they're gonna come out being for Biden. A lot of people are saying 91 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.160 this. Actually the whole thing is like a sy op. Yeah, okay, 92 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.560 I'm not saying I agree with that. I'm saying lots of people are 93 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.600 saying it. Oh, I know, I know. And it's funny because 94 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.839 I saw one of the real moonback. I don't say moonback is, but 95 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.519 do like real conspiracy theory dudes. But I I think he's also like a 96 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.959 Chiefs fan, so he's like, I'm the conspiracy theory guy and this isn't 97 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.839 and let me tell you why. And I'm like, bro, look at 98 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.879 that through the filter you use on everything else, some guy who has a 99 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:41.440 vested interest in one side dissuading your whole Your whole thing is like secret conspiracy 100 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.679 theories that only you know about. Well the weird thing about the whole thing. 101 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.240 Do you see the audio of Taylor Swift I think it was back in 102 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:52.279 like twenty nineteen talking about how her entire collection was bought up by a a 103 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.399 group including George Soros, like they bought her music, yes, yes, 104 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.720 And then it comes out there like suddenly she's like a crazy liberal and progressive 105 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.480 and they're like, well, it's because now she's owned by George Soros. 106 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.559 That's part of the conspiracy. Well, but I believe her reasoning behind that 107 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.559 was her explanation of why she was going to re record, right, that's 108 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.919 what she did them. Yeah, so so she actually owns it all now, 109 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.279 right, yes, yes, yes, yes, And and you and 110 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.000 I have been in this business long enough, even on the music side to 111 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.000 know that when it comes to uh licensing rights record companies. Uh, like 112 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.399 there's some there's some really crazy stuff that happens. But remember Michael Jackson and 113 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.519 Paul McCartney were friends at one time and right, and then Paul was like, 114 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.080 hey, I'm gonna buy all your music or did their music? Yeah? 115 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.120 Yeah yeah, And Michael Jackson's like, nah, fam, I'm going 116 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.759 to because McCartney had been giving him advice. It's like, what you need 117 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.080 to do is you need to buy catalogs. He's like, oh, you 118 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.519 didn't do that for the children your music? And he's like, wait, 119 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.080 no, what, No, that's not what I'm at. It's like that 120 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.960 Elon meme with Bezos right where he's like, uh, I just bought Twitter. 121 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.840 Oh no, no no, and then and uh what does he say? 122 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.279 Uh? He says, uh, oh come on man, what do 123 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.039 you doing? And then he goes uh and then he put Amazon in the 124 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.960 cart I can't remember how it's worded, and uh, Beas is like, 125 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.320 bro, what are you doing? It kind of had that vibe, but 126 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.559 you know, that's just one of many things. There's lots of behind you 127 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.360 do you ever watch behind the music back in the day behind. It was 128 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.279 a great show back. Yeah, it's great. At least a half of 129 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.440 the at least half of the episodes at some point had a conversation about how 130 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.919 they were getting screwed by their label, their manager, their touring company, 131 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.840 any of the rest of it is dogg eat dog Man. And it's like, 132 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.919 you have to wonder if artists today will an artist today will emerge that 133 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.639 you know, had the power to flip the script as so many of these 134 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.000 older bands did, and it took him a while. From Jackson to the 135 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.960 Eagles, to the Stones, even to zz Top was in a nasty bit 136 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.600 of business. Back in the day, they had the longevity to be there. 137 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.559 Who's who are the artists now who are going to have that twenty year 138 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.960 longevity. I don't know who it is. No, they used to be 139 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.080 completely screwed over by the labels, and now that would like Phil Spector in 140 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.039 that back in the day, he would completely screw his artists out there. 141 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.120 Yeah, absolutely, And that's not Look, that's not to say that there's 142 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.120 bad publishers out there. There's there are publishers that are that are instrumental and 143 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.840 andre are you know, and these are some of the indie houses. But 144 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.159 what happens is when these indie houses get built up, they get bought. 145 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.759 Man, they get bought fast. A and Our Records was the example back 146 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:45.480 in the day. So so A and R like they were, they were 147 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.720 able to get all of these big folks over to this new startup. And 148 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.480 they did it because they created fair contracts, they created recording spaces where people 149 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.879 wanted to work in la and most importantly, they had the you know, 150 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.960 they had actual musicians as the founder, in fact, the founder of A 151 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.840 and R Records during that period was I believe the best selling musician in the 152 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.759 country, perhaps even in the world at that moment. And uh, I 153 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.960 think you know, most people, especially younger people are are are not. 154 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.639 We're not We're not up on this sod A and R. Yeah, it's 155 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.440 A and R. Right, I got a fine because they ended up getting 156 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.320 bought out. It was the same thing because I think Sting was there and 157 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.519 all of that. All right, let me let me look this up because 158 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.200 I want to make sure I give accurate. But it was the the guy 159 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.279 founded. It was the dude who did Tijuana, the Tijuana brass right, 160 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.759 and uh, you know, instrumental trumpet music is not something that I think 161 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.879 a lot of people are familiar with, but that tore it up literally for 162 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.360 decades. I think you had to hit into the eighties. But you know, 163 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.799 label stuff is different, the longevity of musicians is different. So you 164 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.600 know, all of this stuff, all of this stuff is factored in there. 165 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.320 And you talk about the evolution of media, especially the evolution in this 166 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:28.200 case of the music industry, and it's completely trackable to the point where the 167 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.840 best investment honestly for artists because you know, nowadays artists go online and that's 168 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.039 their minor league, if you will, and then when they get popular, 169 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.759 a label will pick them up and then they'll squeeze whatever they can out of 170 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.879 them immediately. But since they don't have to develop artists to the extent that 171 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:50.240 they used to, the math is far more profitable to squeeze whatever you got 172 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.039 on the front side. See if you get something and if you don't move 173 00:13:52.080 --> 00:14:00.080 on to the next project. It's crazy. It's crazy how the business bond 174 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.720 has evolved. And it's probably because you're kind of writing that cusp of artists 175 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.120 being able to do a lot of this themselves. And there are some out 176 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.559 there that do it. So anyway, I just got into a music diet 177 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.960 tried, but it's definitely pertinent here. All right, coming up, Oh 178 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.080 just look at the time. All right, let me do this coming up 179 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.000 on the show, like I Oklahoma, what you're doing? Man? What 180 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.399 you I get it? I understand. I understand that people have very strong 181 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:33.000 thoughts when it comes to this stuff. But this is this is what happens. 182 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.720 Republicans do this. Sometimes Democrats do, but they're a little more lockstep 183 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.759 with stuff. But Republicans will do this. And it's when you see different 184 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.879 versions of kind of the same bill, which is something that happens in both 185 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:52.519 parties in different states, and there'll be one that's just so not like the 186 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.679 others, and of course that'll be the one the media focuses on. And 187 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.879 I think Oklahoma is providing that right now, because I don't even know how 188 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.720 his works, what is being proposed. So we'll get into that. We 189 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.279 got the Shatner stuff, Airport stuff, Mark Cuban, all of it coming 190 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:13.480 up. Casey O Day Radio program, cac O Day Radio program. I 191 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.159 am I'm watching the Free Roster. Are you seeing the Justice League enthusiasts freak 192 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.919 out on Twitter? Yeah, I sure, am what wait and they've done 193 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.120 they've done Batman, dirty Man. Oh my god, they've done them wrong. 194 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.519 There's some spoilers, we got some spoilers. So this is, uh, 195 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.360 this is the newest Arkham series. Right, I'm I'm sorry. I'm 196 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.639 not so into Batman that I know all the different universes, but this is 197 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.000 a big one, right, because the Arkham game has been around forever. 198 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.679 Well, yeah, they're all like Batman games. Right, so you had 199 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.799 like Arkham Asylum and like Arkham Knight in Arkham City. That was the incorrect 200 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.559 order. I understand that. But then the game, the company that made 201 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.519 these games is called rock Steady. So in this new game, it's like 202 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:04.600 Suicide Squad defeats or takes on some kills the Justice League. Yeah, so 203 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.080 it's made by the same company. I believe rock Steady. Is it rock 204 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.799 Steady? People think it's rock Star and it's funny. No, it's not 205 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.440 rock Star. It's called rock Steady. They're getting tagged anyway, that would 206 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.960 be incorrect. Yeah. So so the Batman they have in it is the 207 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.200 one from the Arkham games. Like, it's the same voice actor, it's 208 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.159 the same animation that looks like him, and these games have been around since, 209 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.039 I want to say to me, like two thousand and eight, two 210 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:33.039 thousand and nine, right, but it was a really good trilogy. Well 211 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:41.519 not anymore because the final scene of it again spoiler, yeah, the final 212 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:49.159 scene of it is a lazy back and forth with one liners between Batman, 213 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:57.879 who is subdued on a bench and Haley Quinn. Haley Quinn, Harley Harley 214 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.480 saying Quinn is an actress, right, Harley Quinn, Yeah, I'm telling 215 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:07.440 you my brain sometimes, so yeah, Joker's girl and then not girl and 216 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:12.440 then all of that just uh, one to the head, like it was 217 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:19.400 like it was an execution and you know, some third world hell hold man, 218 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:26.200 that's it. And then out and they're like, well it says kills 219 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.319 the Justice League, and it's like, yeah, but you can't do him 220 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.039 that way. Just getting shot to the dome by Harley Quinn, right after 221 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.039 after all he spent through. You play these games, you invest so much 222 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.640 time and just now shot in the head by Harley Quinn. So he pointed 223 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.079 out that they were really surprised that the reasoning was not because Batman told her 224 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.160 to quit with her comedy routine. But rather that he misgendered her, Like 225 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.440 there was a real missed opportunity if you're going to crap on this game, 226 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:57.119 I see uh like ideas from people that don't want it to be true. 227 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.279 They're like, oh, what if what if it was really Superman with the 228 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.400 Batman mascot and he he caught the bullet with his tooth, that it's gonna 229 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.400 be like, it's gonna be revealed. There's a way you would actually do 230 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:14.359 yeah, the Chinese magic bullet trick. Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, 231 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.480 So I mean it sounds like some cope, but I don't know. Well, 232 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.039 I wasn't gonna play this game anyway because it looks like crap and it's 233 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.920 like an online you always have to be online to play it, and it's 234 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.359 just it doesn't look like my sort of game. If it is your game, 235 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.240 you know, have at it. But I wasn't gonna buy it anyway. 236 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:32.359 So just so this is like it reinforces, you know, the point 237 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.920 that I made the correct decision. But remember you remember all the Kataku articles 238 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.319 on Batman over the years where they're just like he's horrible, he's just rich, 239 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.599 He's an evil rich person. And then if you remember they did the 240 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.440 the actual comic book. What do they do? They took all his money 241 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.960 away? Right, Yeah, they made him poverty. They made him poverty, 242 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.119 which you know could be interesting, Don't get me wrong. I'll tell 243 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:59.039 you. The one thing that bothered me about the the The Bain movie was 244 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.880 that's that's not how the stock market works, right, like that whole part 245 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.000 where they went in and they and it's they have them on camera taking over, 246 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.640 right, they have them on camera taking over the the stock market. 247 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.160 Right spoiler if you, I guess if you haven't seen the Nolan movies, 248 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.759 so everybody knows what time they went in there and took everyone in hostage. 249 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:27.160 So if a series of trades posted by somebody who it was likely discernible that 250 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:32.200 they were elsewhere and it happened in that time frame, like that whole narrative 251 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.200 where like, well all your money's gone because the computer says it is. 252 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.119 I don't know why that just that that felt like that felt like the one 253 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:45.759 big miss in that movie to me. But whatever, But now they're just 254 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.680 going to grease him. Whatever. What is Quinn? What is she? 255 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.880 What is her power? Even? She fell in the ooze, right, 256 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.480 and she's got problems, and obviously she was you know, she was a 257 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:03.599 doctor prior to that. But yeah, I don't think she has any powers. 258 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.759 Like her power is somebody even think she fell in news. I think 259 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.400 she just bumped her head, but I'm not sure. Well, they had 260 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.799 that narrative where her and the Joker kind of like jumped into it in the 261 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:18.319 Suicide Squad movie, but then there's a bunch of colors and it was kind 262 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.480 of strange. I didn't get through that movie. But like, her power 263 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:26.160 is that friend who makes bad decisions, right, because we've all had that. 264 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.440 A guy or a gal who gets infatuated with somebody who everyone realizes is 265 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.640 clearly not a good influence on him, and they will literally do things like 266 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:41.519 sacrifice promising elements of their career. They'll quit, they'll quit school to go 267 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.680 do this thing, and they'll quit a job, a really good job, 268 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.359 just they'fatuated. They'll they'll loan of money buy him stuff or he'll buy her 269 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.599 stuff, and everyone around him is like, what the hell are you doing? 270 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.839 And it's like, I've seen that show and he made a superhero out 271 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:03.440 of that. Watch my buddy get tied down with three kids? Like you 272 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.960 know how that keeps happening, right, dude? But hey, good enough 273 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.319 power to kill Batman? So what are you gonna do? All right, 274 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.720 there's your there's your spoilers done. But yeah, everybody's everybody's that's funny. 275 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.319 It's a gun intuited finally a game that Kataku will like. Yeah, probably 276 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:29.759 they got they got beef with him. So we'll see how the h we'll 277 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.079 see how the fans react. All right, let me let me flip over 278 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.400 to this. Uh. I don't even want to go back into that stuff. 279 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.160 Nope, no, no, no, no, we'll wait right there. 280 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.759 All right, since we're the world of Hollywood, let me do this. 281 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:52.039 So now, uh, we find out that there are a couple reboots 282 00:21:52.759 --> 00:22:07.039 in in the works of really really well known classic historical cinema, and when 283 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:08.279 you hear them, I feel like you're not going to be happy. So 284 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:14.680 let me let me read it from the from the What is this chick's name? 285 00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:22.960 Oh Man bearess? Kenya Bearess? Okay. A pair of Hollywood's most 286 00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:33.079 iconic classic films will be undergoing reboots for modern audiences at the hands of Hollywood 287 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.000 writer Kenya Barris, who was planned who had planned to change main characters in 288 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:45.559 both instances to a quote person of color. Barris, whose credits include Black 289 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:51.559 af Blackish, You People, and the remake of White Man Can't Jump? 290 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.519 Wait, how do you race swap white Man Can't Jump?

Obviously remakes people have been screaming for all right, well 297 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.680 I can't already call this, So the Wizard ends up really being a chick. 298 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.359 Oh no, behind the curtain, Behind the curtain, and what what's 299 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.240 it's a wonderful life? Yeah, Dana Carvey already did the best rendition of 300 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.000 this. Remember the skit he did back such a that's because he's such a 301 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.960 good impression, mister Potter, remember that, like back in the day, 302 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.240 that was he did. That is his his I saw his audition of his 303 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.720 audition tape is part of his audition doing that yeah or doing that voice. 304 00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.160 That's a classic scene where like they just he just kept keeps giving him like 305 00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:10.599 the big drop elbow. Yeah, like you know, like the people's elbow 306 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:14.400 on mister Potter by oh, mister Potter. And they all just like they 307 00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.799 just beat him to death. So you're saying it's been done too well to 308 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.519 bee, Yeah, no, they and I got questions I have. I 309 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.160 have so many questions. Okay, so one like because it's not there's not 310 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.200 they're not just gonna swap the character, Like what do you do with any 311 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.319 religious reference? And it's a wonderful life, right telling that little girl about 312 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.200 angels and wings and stuff? Spoiler I guess on some of this, but 313 00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:41.839 like there's a lot there, but Wizard of Oz, I see a thousand 314 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:48.839 things that are troubling. First and foremost, what do you do? Uh? 315 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.160 What do you do with the first group that Dorothy meets on the Yellow 316 00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:59.720 Brick Road. There's a whole song and dance scene. What do you what 317 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.680 do you do? Man? Because like, didn't we just have big problems 318 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.079 with the what it has to be a group of people supporting him US. 319 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:15.720 So you think, do you think on the journey that rather than running into 320 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.319 it's just protesters blow for Palestine, so their blood they're glued to the yellow 321 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:26.200 brick road. I mean you could also go eco folks. I don't know, 322 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:27.599 but you're right. Yeah, they got to be blocking the road. 323 00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:30.960 But it has to be like when they were blocking the road and the Mandalorian 324 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.759 No, not Mandalorian. What was the one with the little uh, the 325 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:38.519 little girl? Which one am I thinking of? Oh? Solo it was? 326 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:45.480 There was Solo? Right? Ah? What was uh? I can't 327 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.960 I can't even keep these I can't even keep these straight. What was the 328 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:53.559 one where we got the lay as lay as a girl and she's just unbearable? 329 00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.200 So that was Kenobi a cook? Nobi? I said Solo? I'm 330 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.000 sorry, yeah Kenoby? Yeah? Or no it was was it just called 331 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.799 obi Wan or something? Or no? Maybe it was just Kenobe? What 332 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.680 but like, do you remember the scene? Did you watch that at all? 333 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.839 Do you remember the scene when they're at the gate on this like and 334 00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:15.599 it's like they're like in the desert and they have like one of those swing 335 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.559 arm gates on the road. No, and she started being like two hundred 336 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.359 eighty five billion IQ and Kenoby was an idiot, and you know she she's 337 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.759 like, yeah, it's Queen and it's like you know, she's like like 338 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:29.200 yeah, superior to him, but she's like five. I was like, 339 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.279 I'm out. They have a scene where they come up and they have you 340 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.839 know, the uh the Empire's got to They got literally like one of those 341 00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:38.440 swing arm gates. It's he on a millet like an old school in military 342 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.880 checkpoint, except on both the right and the left. It's desert for miles 343 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.279 right, so there's no there's no fence or anything. And they had this 344 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.319 whole scene where they got to figure out how to get around then, and 345 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.240 it was at that point I didn't throw the remote at the tee. I 346 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.160 wanted to. I'm like, this is dumb. So you go into a 347 00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:00.640 Wizard of Oz, you got to change that. Perhaps you're right, mess 348 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:06.000 with the wizard. But it's also the real world part of it. According 349 00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:12.200 to Barriss, the movie will utilize a completely different setting and Dorothy will be 350 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:23.759 living in an apartment complex in Inglewood, California called the Bottoms. You know, 351 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:29.880 they don't have tornadoes in La I guess maybe. I'm sure historically maybe 352 00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.000 there's been one, but you realize that's the whole premise of it. So 353 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:41.880 how are they going to transport Dorothy to what is this other place or a 354 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.480 fever dream? Like? How are they going to I don't I almost don't 355 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:52.200 want to know what the mechanism is going to be. What do you get? 356 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:55.240 Is it going to be air pollution? Are you going to have an 357 00:27:55.319 --> 00:28:00.920 environmental angle in there? Will police beat them into a coma? And you 358 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.279 what you're telling me that beating her into a coma at the hands of brutal 359 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:15.000 police officers to make another Hollywood point isn't at least on the table. Also, 360 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:23.640 apparently the the goal of Dorothy will be different. This is from This 361 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.559 is from an interview the writer did. The original Wizard of Oz takes place 362 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:33.319 during the Great Depression, and it's about self reliance and what people were going 363 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.279 through. I think now is the perfect time to switch the characters and talk 364 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:45.440 about what someone imagines their life could be. Yeah, so I look, 365 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.039 all right, I'm skipping a lot of the fluff here just because I'm looking 366 00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:00.200 at the clock. The writer also spoke with Jimmy Fallon about plans to I 367 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.480 cast diverse characters. Quote. I think this is the best time to turn 368 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.039 a mirror on society because we need to see ourselves, and I want to 369 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:12.440 do it with diverse characters. The character lives in Inglewood and someone comes up, 370 00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:18.480 and now she ends up in Underhood, which is right outside of Oz, 371 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.960 and it takes place from there. This sound like it sounds like a 372 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:32.319 Babylon b article. Man, so lives in Inglewood somehow ends up in underhood, 373 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:38.400 which I guess is Oz. I underhood doesn't sound hood doesn't have a 374 00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:45.319 great connotation. So now now you're in the underhood. I am so confused, 375 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:51.039 man. And it doesn't say the mechanism for getting there. That's why 376 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.000 I think the police thing's on the table. Gotta be honest with you. 377 00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.039 I want to make people think, but also make them feel good. I'll 378 00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.519 tell you Ross, I figured it out. I think you're right. I 379 00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.440 think the wizard is a chick or is a dude, but will be a 380 00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:08.640 chick. And you know where I'm going with this. I think Dorothy will 381 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:15.319 possess a skill set that nobody saw coming, maneuver her way effortlessly through you 382 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:21.279 know, droves of bigots and protesters and eventually, being as smart as Dorothy 383 00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:26.960 will be made to be, will ouse the patriarchal wizard for control of the 384 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:33.440 underhood. You know what, I'm getting vibes of that Robin Hood Canada Robin 385 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.599 Hood show we talked about where she's Robin of the Hood, Like, this 386 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.880 is the same thing, man, and then you're gonna screw it. It's 387 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.000 a wonderful life. If they're trying to like urbanize it. Michael Jackson already 388 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.880 did that that well, you know what, that is a fair point. 389 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:53.960 I don't but they're not trying to urbanize it for the purpose of just like 390 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.680 they're trying they're trying to this is my opinion, they're trying to ruin it, 391 00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:04.400 man, trying to ruin it. I have a question, will will 392 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:12.559 the character of Dorothy be sexually assaulted by her coworkers on the regular Is that 393 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:17.119 going to be a hallmark of the shoot process? Because I don't know if 394 00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.519 you ever read any of that stuff, but the little people there, they 395 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:29.240 were big fans of that. Who was a teenager in address there and it's 396 00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.799 not good looking stuff, man. All right, So there you got a 397 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.720 little some to mark your calendars and look forward to. While we take a 398 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.279 break here on the KCO Day radio program, glad to have you a long 399 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:44.680 phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four and let us 400 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.519 head to the air. We got a couple of different stories here. I'm 401 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:55.920 going to start with NBC and their little takedown piece yesterday. Right wingers had 402 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:02.480 made airports culture were battlegrounds. So airports or culture war back, sometimes they're 403 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.720 physical battlegrounds. Some of the some of the videos of people flipping their lid 404 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:17.279 man And I told and I told you when was that? That was Thanksgiving? 405 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:20.799 It was last year. I remember it. Last year. I had 406 00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:22.880 to be in the Miami Airport on the very same day that woman destroyed like 407 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:29.119 D forty two or whatever that that video was. I didn't watch her do 408 00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:30.240 it or anything. I was there after, but they had it all roped 409 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:31.960 off. No, it was the next day. I was there. They 410 00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:36.200 had it roped off because I'd seen the video and I'm like, oh man, 411 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.720 I've missed it right, And she was throwing everything. So is that 412 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:44.400 what you mean? Because I don't think that's what you mean. David Ingram 413 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:50.519 knew for me today how right wing influencers turned airplanes and airports into culture war 414 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:58.000 battlegrounds. Okay, if you're not following any of this. One of the 415 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:07.839 things that definitely is getting more discussion is DEI programs and specifically how those, 416 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:13.400 how those play with these. You've seen a lot of airlines who literally are 417 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:17.359 running commercials going yeah, we're by twenty thirty, we want half of our 418 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:23.400 pilots to be not white dudes. I can't remember how it's all worded, 419 00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:28.599 but that's the gist of it. And then you got like United CEO Scott 420 00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:35.960 Kirby, who's got some interesting hobbies you should look up, and that's who 421 00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:40.200 they're quoting. One statement. This is from his article, one statement in 422 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.519 particular for United CEO Scott Kirby being misquoted on social media. Kirby told Axios 423 00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.480 the company wants fifty percent of its flight Academy classes to be women, of 424 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.960 people, women or people of color. Flight academy students are at the start 425 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.799 of their careers years for me and Hyleed. So this is the argument, 426 00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.079 and it's and it's fine, like if you want to have adults discuss and 427 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:08.239 debate this one one of the uh one of the factors that they say is 428 00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:12.880 inherent in both is that ultimately, if you don't pass the you know, 429 00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.880 you don't pass the test, you're not gonna move on and be an actual 430 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:22.280 pilot. All right. I don't know what the percentage of classes of its 431 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:28.039 flight academy. I don't know what percentage move on and which ones flame out. 432 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:34.760 We're not privy to that. But the while Kirby may have said that, 433 00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.519 that is still the stated goal of some of Kirby's competitors, including American 434 00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:44.920 Airlines, who has mentioned this UH and Delta who has who has dipped their 435 00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:50.800 toe in the water. And so it's positioned as, look, we're fishing 436 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:58.599 for talent in new ponds. According to Jessica Mensch Munch, chief Diversity, 437 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.920 Equity and Inclusion Office, are united, all right, And and look, 438 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:06.400 I guess I I understand that that there's a set of standards there. The 439 00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:13.679 problem is twofold one. It it deviates outside meritocracy. Do you know, 440 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:22.119 do you know the most common the most common piece of background information among UH 441 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:27.920 airline pilots. What is what is the most common path? I would I 442 00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:32.199 would guess right that they served in a military and ding ding ding, Yes, 443 00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:35.119 And That's what I want to see when I get a plane, right, 444 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.280 I want to see somebody that looks like they've been in the service. 445 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.639 You could like a bad ass, that's all I want to see, too, 446 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.079 bad ass. You don't know what I mean, Like, ah, 447 00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.079 we gotta go flying upside down? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 448 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:51.719 somebody looks capable, that's all. Yeah, And and and and and looks 449 00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:52.920 people they're going to hang up on looks and oh, what do you mean 450 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:57.639 a white kuy? No, like you look at you can look at somebody 451 00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.079 and regardless of the color they are, there's they can they can't. There's 452 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.559 an aura of the way they they they everything about him, right, the 453 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.599 way that dude knows what he's doing. When you watch like I'm Patrol Live, 454 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.960 you can always tell which cops used to be service members. You can 455 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.320 just tell. Yeah, yeah, there is some of that. And you 456 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.119 don't look you don't have to be a service member. But there is an 457 00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:23.519 era of professionalism that that people will exude that puts others at ease. Right, 458 00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:28.159 that's a person who knows what they're doing. And I feel more confident. 459 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.760 And I've been on planes, you know, I used to fly that 460 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:34.639 I flowed that the Sheridan Wyoming to Denver route right when I said, would 461 00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.599 stop all the places. And I remember getting on a plane one time and 462 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.440 I'm like, are you here with your dad? He's like, no, 463 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:46.280 I'm the pilot. And I'm like, oh, okay, that's a he's 464 00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:50.920 got a bad act. He going this morning, dude. But you know, 465 00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:53.159 uh when when push came to show this was back when pilot whether we 466 00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:55.440 didn't have the door in the cockpit, I know, crazy, so you 467 00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:00.199 can literally see in there. I just dude doing his job. Man. 468 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.719 So I look, I understand the visually, you're not always going to be 469 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:07.760 able to tell and there's going to be certain standards. The problem becomes, 470 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:12.960 and this is where the public gets into these things and they start losing trust. 471 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:19.000 The problem becomes when your stated goal is classes, but your inherent goal 472 00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:23.880 is you want the visual. You want when people see pilots that there is 473 00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:30.760 a lot of diversity there because it is quote good for business to quote Mark 474 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.719 Cuban. And he's approaching it in a couple of different ways. And we 475 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.400 got a Cuban story too, but he's approaching a couple different ways. He's 476 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:44.320 saying it's good for it's good for service in that in the long run it 477 00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:47.719 may inspire others who had not even thought that that was a career possibility, 478 00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.960 which inherently would grow the pool. Do you get what I'm saying, Like, 479 00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.960 if you have, if you have a third of the population who would 480 00:37:55.960 --> 00:38:01.039 never even ponder being an airline pilot, now they like everybody else, feel 481 00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:07.639 like they could make it, then yeah, that is a legitimate theory. 482 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:15.000 But in reality we if I don't want to jinx anything, in reality we 483 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:22.039 have enjoyed the longest period I think in the history of private aviation companies here 484 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:28.320 in America of safety, I believe it's the longest. Again, knock on 485 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:31.199 wood, it is not even close by the way, Yeah, I read 486 00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:36.000 that recently. It's like a big stretch, big stretch stretch of time which 487 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:37.480 you hear somebody's paranoid. You're like, well, that means it's bound to 488 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:44.880 happen any day, right, But but like that's that's the reality of it, 489 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.079 the the But the reality of it is where people start to wonder because 490 00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.159 they've seen numerous examples where all right, you may be doing this, but 491 00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:57.159 your ultimate goal is this, So you got to kind of grease the skids, 492 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:06.239 and when it comes down to somebody operating on you, somebody controlling that 493 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.199 plane that you're doing six hundred miles an hour in at thirty five thousand feet, 494 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.159 people don't want they want no inkling that any way, shape or form. 495 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:21.639 A decision was made that was not pure meritocracy, meaning the person who 496 00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.159 performs the best the best person for that job. And you're not always going 497 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:30.559 to get it right, obviously, because people are people, but that's what 498 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:35.559 makes people nervous. And so when they feel you're starting to prioritize that, 499 00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.639 they're going to wonder if safety is one of the things that you're offering, 500 00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:42.920 and they're also looking at example, speaking of the military, within the military, 501 00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.960 where decisions have been made that you know, whether you're in the military 502 00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:52.159 or even if you're just somebody with eyeballs, you go, is that in 503 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:59.119 the best interest of the people they're serving with, whether it is you know, 504 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:06.639 women's in combat situations where they may not have the ability to physically remove 505 00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:13.599 a fellow soldier if they become incapacitated, which is not something that is inherently 506 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:17.880 only women, but is going to be far more prevalent the adjustment of certain 507 00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:22.719 standards. That's what people are concerned about. So yeah, yeah, no 508 00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:29.320 people, people got questions, but no even questioning that for NBC News is 509 00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:30.760 a bridge too far. And then they you know, they get into some 510 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:37.960 examples of all the evil people and they there's a Charlie Kirk, there's a 511 00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:42.599 Charlie Kirk quote, and this is why the guy gets hung up on this 512 00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:47.800 and let me play it. I kind of I get the angles coming from 513 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:58.039 because we just had this whole affirmative action discussion and like, I'm I'm not 514 00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:01.199 I'm not black, so I can approach it from this perspective. But I 515 00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.320 kind of think that if if it's in an environment where there's a lot of 516 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:09.000 affirmative action, in the back of my mind, I'd be like if even 517 00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:12.800 if I went in an ACE this and was top of my class and any 518 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:16.480 of the rest of it, I wonder if people think that I was hired 519 00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:21.480 because of that, And you can call that ignorant, But these are thoughts 520 00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.719 that permeate people's brains when insecurity set in. So I don't know how the 521 00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:28.800 factors of how that all plays in, But here's here's the Charlie current and 522 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:32.559 That's why I think this United story, in the DEI story hits so hard 523 00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:37.440 because we've all been in the back of a plane when the turbulence hits, 524 00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:39.599 or when you're flying through a storm and you're like, I'm so glad I 525 00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:44.199 saw the guy with the right stuff and the square jaw get into the cockpit 526 00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:46.360 before we took off, and I feel better now. Think I mean, 527 00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:50.000 like you want to go thought crime, Like, I'm sorry, if I 528 00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.480 see a black pilot, I'm gonna be like, boy, I hope he's 529 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.119 qualified. Well, you wouldn't have done that. You wouldn't have not an 530 00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:00.480 immediate no, would not who I am. That's not what I believe. 531 00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:04.119 It is the reality the leftos I all right, I'm not and I'm not 532 00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:08.360 gonna go full with Charlie Kirk here because I it's it's more like when Roster 533 00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:13.159 and I were talking about. It is more that ambiance and what that individual 534 00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:17.440 exudes. And there's there's plenty of black dudes, Hispanic dudes, h even 535 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:22.480 some women they have square jaws. I would inherently I'm like, yeah, 536 00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.440 that person does what they're doing right, it doesn't matter matter to me. 537 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.880 Color, female, male, Like the only because I would assume that they're 538 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:31.880 going to hire somebody that can fly the plane and do it well, That's 539 00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:34.880 what I would hope anyway. The only thing that I would be like, 540 00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.519 really concerned about is if I got in the plane and it's like Ray Charles, 541 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.039 like glasses and a cane. I'd be like, you should not be 542 00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:46.159 flying the plane? Like that would be me ONX are amazing today? Why 543 00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:51.400 are you discriminating against Ray Charles? Think about the N flight entertainment man, 544 00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:53.280 that's gonna be amazing. What are you talking about? Yeah, no, 545 00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:57.760 I'm with you. He played the piano while he's flying the plane, and 546 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.639 what if he can and if he'd be amazing, it would have been just 547 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:06.320 questioned you o Racheurnald's apology. Oh man, here's all my money. So 548 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:10.079 yeah, And but to your point, the motivation, the motive, the 549 00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:16.000 motivation for airlines as we understand it in a capitalistic society is you want to 550 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:21.159 for as cheaply as possible, with as much crap as people will put up 551 00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:27.639 with that still give them pause to go to your competitor, to get them 552 00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:31.920 from point A to point B, and to do so in uh in the 553 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:37.760 manner that is safest because there are financial consequences. Is one of your planes 554 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:44.320 crashes, right, I understand those motivations. I know that sounds sketchy, 555 00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:49.880 but ultimately that is the motivation to do it in the most cost efficient way 556 00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:54.360 possible, to do it without alienating passengers as much. But also you have 557 00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:59.280 to have that safety because whoever breaks this big safety this how many you know 558 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:04.599 days without an accident sign that we've have right now, you know, there's 559 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:09.320 that will that will be financially tough for them. So that's their motivation. 560 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:14.599 But now you've thrown this other thing in where in the same way that company, 561 00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:19.199 airline companies who needed working capital have been hamstrung by these DEI requirements, 562 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:24.760 which is this weird infiltration of the industry that we've seen. Now you go, 563 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:30.960 all right, is that concern overriding any of the other concerns. So 564 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:34.960 that's look, that's where people are coming from because they want to be safe 565 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:40.519 in the air. And you know, ultimately, anyone who who throws that 566 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:44.920 in there is just being called a bigot, which means you can't defend your 567 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.960 position. And again I don't agree with Mark Cuban, but I understood where 568 00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:52.679 he was trying to go he if he honestly believes, I think he's wrong. 569 00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:57.199 But but he was in there saying, look, you know, if 570 00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.960 you I believe that if everyone think that they can do this, and the 571 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:04.840 talent pool opens up and maybe we find even better candidates. And like, 572 00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.639 I can see where somebody throw that argument out, but I don't know. 573 00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:14.360 Case in point. All right, here we go. I uh, good, 574 00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:15.760 good, good, I'm glad. I'm glad you weighed in. So 575 00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:22.079 Joe who calls uh, he's former US or he flies for a large US 576 00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:25.840 airline. He said, every single pilot that is at an airline must meet 577 00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:31.239 certain standards when they're hired. There is there is zero test to actually see 578 00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:36.519 how well you can fly. It's personality and theory discussion in an interview. 579 00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:39.239 The one statistic I would love to see of white men who apply is what 580 00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:45.000 percentage is interviewed? And of minorities, what percentage is interviewed. I have 581 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:49.559 no doubt that everyone in a cockpit is qualified per the FAA, but I 582 00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:53.360 wonder if the hiring practices are fair. And again that's fair, but it 583 00:45:53.480 --> 00:46:01.280 causes people to reevaluate how an individual got there. So just my two cents, 584 00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:07.079 and then you know, you talk about also DEI requirements and the hiring 585 00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:15.320 of airplane manufacturers and parts stuff like it's because you're talking about something that has 586 00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:20.920 such inherent nobody cares. If no, I'm not picking on I'm not going 587 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.320 to pick on anyone, but if in some retail position, if that's your 588 00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:30.079 hiring model, it's less impactful than if you override safety concerns, and not 589 00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:31.880 just if you do it literally, but if you do it in the minds 590 00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:37.239 of your consumers and they don't trust your product, you run that risk as 591 00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:45.360 well. So that takes us to this Wall Street Journal with some info here 592 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:49.320 on what may have caused that plug door to come off the Alaskan Airlines flight. 593 00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:52.159 And it was a combination of them looking at where it was attached, 594 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:58.000 the door itself, and looking at records of the construction of that particular jet, 595 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:02.440 and they found that there not these tear outs where the hinges were, 596 00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.039 which is weird because you those type of bolts, you rip them out, 597 00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.159 they're gonna the threading is gonna be messed, the hinge may be destroyed. 598 00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:14.840 It's gonna be pretty tough stuff. And they didn't see that so they checked 599 00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:17.679 maintenance records and I guess during assembly they're putting the plane together and that door 600 00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:22.400 didn't seal right, So they took it off to remachine it and then put 601 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:24.159 it back on. And the theory is they didn't put the bolts in. 602 00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:29.400 They put a couple of bolts to hold it, but they didn't put the 603 00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:35.639 primary bolts in. How does that happen? All We're gonna get into more 604 00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:38.440 of this because like I'm I'm like, you put legos together and there's extra 605 00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.840 pieces. Come on, man, all right, we'll be back casey O 606 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:47.079 Day Radio program seven thirty five. Uh good, I've getting some good email 607 00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:50.679 on this. I've done so smart asses too, But that's okay, that's 608 00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:58.760 what we do. Uh my brother, hold on the ah. Why does 609 00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:02.039 the word document look like the outlook? Uh? Uh logo? I always 610 00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:07.559 do that one of these days. One of the things you just haven't talked 611 00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:13.119 about is airline's main competition, FedEx and other supply chain airlines such as Amazon. 612 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:15.559 My brother flew fighters in the Air Force, but went to work for 613 00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:21.440 FedEx because quote, who wants to deal with rude customers? Yeah? Absolutely, 614 00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:27.280 you're gonna parlay that aviation experience into into that coming out of the military. 615 00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:32.440 That makes sense. And you know some some people would enjoy the uh 616 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:37.920 iles say, enjoy the customers all the time, but that particular type of 617 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:44.199 flying versus you know, heading over to the other side of the airport and 618 00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:51.320 getting in a plane with a couple other people and a million boxes. So 619 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.960 yeah, to each their own, and you gotta you gotta figure it out. 620 00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:00.760 There's also the part too where airlines that in mention this, you know, 621 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:07.039 compensation still has to be there, still has to be there, or 622 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:12.199 other opportunities that may pay more. Obviously, folks may gravitate towards that if 623 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.280 that is what their big motivation is. So look, there's a thousand things 624 00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:19.599 going on. Where this got weird though, is and I mentioned Cuban, 625 00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:27.679 So he was talking to people about this on Twitter, and you know, 626 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:35.239 people have questions obviously, and this account called him out and he responded, 627 00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:38.000 he said, when shown proof of how DEI discriminates, you wrote it off 628 00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:43.920 by stating private entities can do whatever they want. Since then, the goalposts 629 00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.719 have repeatedly been shifted. Given the weak nature of your defense, I suspect 630 00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:52.440 there's no real rebuttal to the criticism others have raised. The alternative would be 631 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:57.440 doing the brave thing of acknowledging you're wrong. Although this would do a lot 632 00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.239 of good, it does not seem you've arrived there, Cuban responded, and 633 00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:04.679 normally back and forth, we wouldn't be getting into this. But it's a 634 00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:10.760 third response or a second response that really makes this story interesting. Cuban wrote, 635 00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:15.760 if it's a for profit school, if they want primarily purple people leaders, 636 00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:22.320 he's talking about an aviation school from Mars, it's their choice. And 637 00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:29.480 again, if it's a quote private school but falls under public accommodation, it's 638 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:32.400 not as simple as that. As you well know, you can't just say 639 00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:39.719 this. I can't just open the white guy flying school white dudes only without 640 00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:45.159 getting my behind student too oblivion. And then they get into a meritocracy discussion, 641 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:50.119 and then Cuban says this. He says, I've never hired anyone based 642 00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:54.000 exclusively on race, gender, or religion. I only ever hire the person 643 00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:58.719 that will put my business in the best position. And part of the argument 644 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:00.599 that the Cuban's making is, if you're a business owner, the path of 645 00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:07.440 least resistance and your ability to access business services that you may need. The 646 00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:15.119 best position for your business may be acquiescing to moon bat demands. And he's 647 00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:22.920 probably not wrong, right if you're look at look at all of the investigations 648 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.599 and problems that Elon Musk companies are having right now, right, look at 649 00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:31.840 look at all of these things that have They went after the neuralink uh for 650 00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:36.920 what was it? An environmental thing? They got mad at the rocket at 651 00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:43.920 his rocket manufacturing because he wasn't hiring migrants, even though he manufactures what are 652 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:50.559 considered weapons of war, it's rocket technology, and he's like, I couldn't 653 00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:53.159 hire them. I can't even hire some Americans. It's got it. There's 654 00:51:53.239 --> 00:52:00.039 a there's secure there's a national security interest here, and then all the threats 655 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:05.760 from this administration and others to go after and investigate everything under the sun. 656 00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:12.239 Is Elon doing business in a much different way than the rest of Silicon Valley 657 00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:17.000 and other big companies. Not really when it comes to core business functions. 658 00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.960 But he's not towing the line anymore. So. If that's what Cuban meant, 659 00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:27.239 and I've heard him say stuff similar, I think he half means that, 660 00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:29.800 But I think he also half buys into this because he goes on to 661 00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:34.119 say something else. He says, and yes, race and gender can be 662 00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:43.360 part of the equation. I view diversity as a competitive advantage. And it 663 00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:49.360 was this where he said as general rule, Yeah, all right, so 664 00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.800 he says that, and then all of a sudden, a person by the 665 00:52:52.920 --> 00:53:00.039 name of Andrea Lucas pops up, and Andrea Lucas is it's that standard government 666 00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:06.239 worker pos where it's your head shot and then behind you you have the flags, 667 00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:07.559 right, you have the flag of whatever department you work for, and 668 00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:13.079 then the United States flag. Pretty standard. And that is because Andrea Lucas 669 00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:20.559 is an eeo C commissioner. She's one of the EEOC commissioners Equal Opportunity Employment 670 00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:25.159 commission And she responds to Cuban and says eeo C Commissioner here, unfortunately, 671 00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:30.360 you're dead wrong on black Letter Title seven law. As a general rule, 672 00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:37.039 race and sex can't even be a quote motivating factor, nor a plus factor, 673 00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:43.679 tiebreaker or tipping point. It's important, it's important employers understand the ground 674 00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.639 rules here. I got to think of your Mark Cuban's attorney, Well, 675 00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:49.599 I don't know, because you stick at the Dojada do stuff. But she's 676 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:52.519 not wrong. And that's why when you see all this stuff where they're like, 677 00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:57.519 all right, we're gonna have we're only gonna we're only going to hire 678 00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:02.480 a minority employees, the company will come out and say that. You scratch 679 00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:05.960 your head and you go, who is that legal? With my understanding, 680 00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:13.719 Well, there's somebody from Equal Opportunity Employment Commission going no or Equal Employment Opportunity 681 00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:16.519 whatever. Don't know, and the law is very clear here, So just 682 00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:22.719 further I guess further proof that we'll just ignore the laws. Bob, what's 683 00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:27.440 going on? I don't know. I'm not sure if I completely understood what 684 00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:32.880 Mark Cuban was going for. But if he's advocating picking somebody on anything other 685 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:39.679 than meritocracy, the amount of accommodation you give to select someone not based on 686 00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:46.400 merit is how much your product will suffer. So let's take grace out of 687 00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:52.039 it. If we say that pilots or you know, little people are highly 688 00:54:53.320 --> 00:55:00.599 underrepresented in the NBA or in piloting. When he hires Peter Dank to apply 689 00:55:00.760 --> 00:55:06.119 his plane or to start for his team, I'll listen. I saw a 690 00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:07.960 guy. I saw dude with the customer I saw a dude with the customized 691 00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:12.800 jet who for But but but to your point, yeah, that's the extreme 692 00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:16.679 example of it. The Dallas Mavericks hiring uh, you know what you know 693 00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:22.199 and then pick pick whomever the Yes. Absolutely. Do you think that there's 694 00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:27.320 any credibility to Mark's assertion that the path of least resistance is just to give 695 00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:32.400 in? Because yeah, if not your elon Muster twenty two investigations, I 696 00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:37.679 mean, he's not wrong. Well, I guess, but it depends on 697 00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:45.119 how many metal showers you want over the over the ground. But to advocate 698 00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:50.840 for the equality and black pilots, some of the best pilots probably in World 699 00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:52.920 War Two were the Tuskegee Airmen, and they had nothing to do with their 700 00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:57.000 race. It had to do with the fact that they weren't able to go, 701 00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:01.199 weren't allowed to go uh in the bat because nobody wanted them to go. 702 00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:06.599 So they had to train three and four times more than their regular counterparts. 703 00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:08.599 So when they finally got there, they were much better because they were 704 00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:13.280 trained further. So, you know, if you feel like you've got to 705 00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:15.119 work twice as hard to get somewhere as the next guy, do it. 706 00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:19.840 Because when you get there, you'll be twice as good. There should be 707 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:23.360 negative incentives. Yeah, what you're seeing and then thank you for the call 708 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:29.079 there, Bobby, is you're seeing the people subconsciously. If you're in your 709 00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:32.360 forties or fifties, what have you been told your entire life up until the 710 00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:37.639 last I don't know, like ten years. When it came to figuring out 711 00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:42.880 who the best person for the job is, we were you were We were 712 00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:49.159 told that in the past there have been historical injustices and such as Tuskey Geearman, 713 00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:53.599 such as you know, there's lots and lots of examples, especially in 714 00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:58.800 cinema. You can watch Glory is a good example, right where there's like 715 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:04.079 we don't and then you know, the inevitability is now they're the first one's 716 00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.400 up there to Sumpter's and it doesn't it doesn't end well Fort Sumter. And 717 00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:12.440 but like I understand all that. So what was beat into the brain of 718 00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:16.239 everyone my age was you need to be it doesn't matter who it is, 719 00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:22.320 based only on the meritocracy is how you should be making decisions. And then 720 00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:24.000 all of a sudden they're like, nah, nah, not that this other 721 00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:29.599 thing, and people who that's been a part of what they've learned for decades. 722 00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:34.800 Like mentally, when you're just operating something subconsciously, it sticks out to 723 00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:38.039 you and people people have a natural reaction to go, wait a sec that's 724 00:57:38.559 --> 00:57:42.599 that is totally different, what in the hell's going on? And then NBC 725 00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:45.000 will write a hit piece on you. So there you go, all right, 726 00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:50.039 seven forty five raced agic from the Weather Channel. He's here and he's 727 00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:52.880 decided in his wheel of torture to freeze you again. So there you go. 728 00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:58.880 Yeah, I got a little chillier, some surprise this morning by some 729 00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:02.440 twenties that have shown up. Milder weather on the way here briefly, then 730 00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:06.800 cooling down a little bit, then milder as we get into the month of 731 00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:09.840 February, at least the beginning of it anyway, looks uh, I'd say, 732 00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:14.119 for this time, you're pretty mild. So really this winter hasn't been 733 00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:15.719 too harsh. Today, we'll have the low fifties, start to see some 734 00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:20.880 cloud come into the west going across the Triad here soon at the Triangle as 735 00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:23.199 we go through mid morning in the afternoon especially, and we got this little 736 00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:29.039 weak kind of low pressure coming through tonight and there might be some rain, 737 00:58:29.800 --> 00:58:31.519 mainly light and why they scattered. If you get a couple of tents of 738 00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:35.960 an inch, that'll be a lot upper thirty. So well about freezing in 739 00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:37.079 the mountains. That's where you got to worry about some wet snow, so 740 00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:39.679 you gotta go well west. And that rain will end tomorrow morning. In 741 00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:43.920 the afternoon cloudy and a little bit cooler, in the upper forties, and 742 00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:46.320 tomorrow night we're back down near freezing. And then as we get into Thursday 743 00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:51.239 and Friday, the first two days of February, upper fifties to low sixties, 744 00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:54.280 lots of sunshine around overnight lows in the thirties, so real nice weather 745 00:58:54.320 --> 00:58:57.599 as we get into February, and the first few days of it right through 746 00:58:57.639 --> 00:59:00.559 the weekend looked pretty good too, with a chance of rain early next week. 747 00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:04.119 So not much rain with this system coming through tonight, a little chili 748 00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:07.280 the next couple of mornings, but uh, looking real nice. As we 749 00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:10.519 get into Thursday and Friday, Groundhog Day. The wait, it looks right 750 00:59:10.599 --> 00:59:14.679 now, probably going to see a shadow and it's six more weeks of winter. 751 00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:17.320 But if winter's like this casey, most people are probably like no. 752 00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:22.079 If days like this, maybe it won't be so harsh. You guys are 753 00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:25.199 way too groundhog invested. I understand it for obvious reasons. It's like, 754 00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:30.039 what other holiday is weather related? Right? I mean, yeah, this 755 00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:32.159 is true. I am. I'm not that invested in it, not like 756 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:36.800 we do on the you know, the cable side, but it is. 757 00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:38.719 Yes, yeah, they'ready. Start. I was trying to think there's no 758 00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:43.519 other weather themed holidays. Yeah, I mean you can make a case. 759 00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:46.159 And maybe Christmas is because if people want to white Christmas but not your I 760 00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:50.039 mean absolutely well I don't know. I hear there's something bigger going on, 761 00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:58.039 so yeah that too. Yeah, okay, all right, Black Friday sales 762 00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:00.559 come on, man, But you think I was talking no obviously, but 763 01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:01.519 yeah, no, I like I get it. All right, we got 764 01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:05.400 a roll, Thank you, sir, appreciate it. There go seven forty 765 01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:12.840 eight. Oh my, this is uh god, bless zoos. This is 766 01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:15.840 a horrible idea. I know, I know, I'm mister negative, but 767 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.400 you'll understand why in just a moment, hang on phone number you want to 768 01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:23.239 be on the show. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. 769 01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:30.079 Okay, Well, let's just go ahead and see this horrible idea play 770 01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:32.800 out look and I'm here for it. And if you don't have a webcam, 771 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:38.159 I'm going to be extra mad. So at this zoo in the UK, 772 01:00:39.719 --> 01:00:45.320 Lincolnshire, don't know they have it had a bit of an issue. 773 01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:54.199 They have a bunch of parrots and the problem is five of the parrots I 774 01:00:54.320 --> 01:01:00.559 guess are from a different group. Oh I'm sorry eight, excuse me. 775 01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:05.639 Eight of the parrots are from a different group. And those eight parrots actually 776 01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:08.519 have a bit of a reputation because the eight parrots these are African grays, 777 01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:17.159 have horrible foul meals. Okay, So, and I don't know how it 778 01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:22.239 got here of like zoo zoogoers. We're teaching them words. If it's a 779 01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:28.800 Microsoft AI gone wrong, I don't know. But they are not family friendly. 780 01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:36.599 Well, now they're trying to figure out what to do with them because 781 01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:39.760 they needed to be they need to be re home to another zoo, and 782 01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:45.320 they think five of them are the least offenders and three of the ringleaders. 783 01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:50.400 So they've decided as an experiment, they're going to take these five profane parrots 784 01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:54.480 and they're going to stick them into this large at another zoo where they have 785 01:01:54.639 --> 01:02:01.400 a bunch of other parrots who do not just constantly yell obscenities, and then 786 01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:08.639 from there, obviously the bad parrots will follow the example of the good parrots 787 01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:15.559 and stop like cussing like sailors at zugoers. Okay, all right, well 788 01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:20.079 that's that's one theory, and it seems to be the only one that you're 789 01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:27.199 considering right right here, According to CNN Steve Nichols, the parts of the 790 01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.960 Chief Executive, He says, these are not even normal swear words. These 791 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:35.440 are proper explotives. So they're like, I guess, I know they're cracking 792 01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:38.199 your mama jokes or what, but it's pretty bad. I have a question. 793 01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:43.559 So you got these parrots, you had eight, but you decided five 794 01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:47.039 or maybe they could fix And you're sure that if you put them into this 795 01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:52.039 environment with what is it, a dozen other parrots, the other parrots who 796 01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:59.400 don't swear will make them behave. Isn't that doesn't that fly in the face 797 01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:01.760 of every instinct that you have. I don't know. Let's go, let's 798 01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:07.039 let's do it from a parent standpoint, right, So your kid shows up 799 01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:09.280 with his new friend. His new friend's got to I don't know a tear 800 01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:17.519 drop tattoo smells like drugs. Right, What is your what is your response 801 01:03:17.519 --> 01:03:22.320 as a parent to that person next time you got your kid, You're like, 802 01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:24.559 I don't want you hanging out with Billy. Billy Billy's claim any murdered 803 01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:29.800 people. He smells like drugs, And I don't feel that that's good good 804 01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:31.239 influence for you. And I don't know, maybe you have a big fight, 805 01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:36.800 but in the end, your mom is probably right. At no point 806 01:03:36.960 --> 01:03:39.679 have I ever seen anyone go, you know what, Billy needs, Billy 807 01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:44.519 needs you to be his friend, and then maybe he'll stop murdering people for 808 01:03:44.599 --> 01:03:50.400 the cartel and doing drugs. That's right. So there's that. I feel 809 01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:55.000 that it is far more likely considering that these birds will then copy their surroundings 810 01:03:55.079 --> 01:03:58.760 that if you've got a bunch of other birds that are saying stuff that they're 811 01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:03.719 not used to, you're probably gonna have more parrots swearing their brains out. 812 01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:08.320 Which is why I want to see this, you know, uh, you 813 01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:11.519 know via internet stream if I got if the if the world gets to watch 814 01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:15.760 that stupid giraffe wait for it to give birth. You remember what the streaming 815 01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:19.800 numbers were on that it was stupid. I think the swearing parrot life cam 816 01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:23.320 would be a I think that'd be a big plus for your zoo. But 817 01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:26.400 I also don't think your experiment's gonna work out like you think it's gonna. 818 01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:31.360 So. Jean Pierre Koreine Jean Pierre is uh. She's being interviewed talking about 819 01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:36.920 the three US service members who lost their lives after a drone, a described 820 01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:43.159 as a suicide drone was allowed to enter the airspace where they are stationed. 821 01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:47.599 And the way that they they believe that it did it is it mirrored the 822 01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:53.239 return of a US drone because they have counter drone tech. They have like 823 01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:58.760 a whole system. I can't remember the name of it, but so normally 824 01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:01.920 if one of the Iranian back militants tries to buzz a drone in there, 825 01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:08.800 and they called a suicide drone obviously because it's a single use packed with explosives. 826 01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:12.239 It's not there to deploy a payload and get out. It's just going 827 01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:19.119 wherever it's going, and in this case hit a standalone these standalone barracks and 828 01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:29.159 three US service members National Guard members were killed, Sergeant into specialists. And 829 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:32.440 now the White House is like, oh man, we're thinking of something. 830 01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:34.719 It's going to be bad, but we're still waiting to see what it is. 831 01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:39.320 And the way that they believe that the drone was able to enter is 832 01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:45.199 it was either it's a little unclear. It either tailed the US drone in 833 01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:49.920 and was not I guess not able to be seen, or there was some 834 01:05:50.119 --> 01:05:56.119 confusion that that was the US drone entering and the timing just happened to be 835 01:05:56.199 --> 01:06:00.920 really bad. So when it went through, and I I don't pretend to 836 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:05.800 understand from a security apparatus that has these types of systems, this anti drone 837 01:06:05.840 --> 01:06:13.239 technology and others, is it how automated alerts are where the human comes in 838 01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:15.519 like they have to make a decision. Now, I think it's this, 839 01:06:15.639 --> 01:06:20.599 and I'm sure that the military will be looking at this and I'm hoping short 840 01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:27.000 up, but that's not what this is about. So in the wake of 841 01:06:27.119 --> 01:06:30.679 that, Jean Pierre said something that I just I put it through the filter 842 01:06:30.840 --> 01:06:34.280 of I can't even imagine if Trump or one of his spokespeople said it, 843 01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:40.039 because the entirety of the media would use it as the launching point to go, 844 01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:47.239 see, we told you he thinks he's Hitler and and like, if 845 01:06:47.280 --> 01:06:54.840 you eight years ago suggesting that about anybody, I would have found myself absurd. 846 01:06:55.079 --> 01:06:58.639 But then I just watched it all play out. Man. So here 847 01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:02.000 is the condole portion of this interview from Jean Pierre. See if you can 848 01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:08.400 pick up what phrase, what terminology has raised eyebrow, what I will say, 849 01:07:08.480 --> 01:07:14.119 our deepest obviously, our deepest condolences go out and our heartfelt condolences go 850 01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:19.000 out to the families who lost three three brave, uh three brave, three 851 01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:23.880 brave of three folks who are who are military, folks, who are brave, 852 01:07:24.039 --> 01:07:28.559 who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf and of this administration 853 01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:32.039 of the American people. Obviously more so more importantly, we lost those souls, 854 01:07:32.800 --> 01:07:36.400 right all right. So and it's it's pretty choppy the whole way. 855 01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:42.360 It was the use of this administration. And granted it is followed. I 856 01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:45.519 saw some people clipping it off, says the American people. Uh there because 857 01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:49.480 I think she realizes what she said, But just the mere utterance of well, 858 01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:54.280 they're fighting for this administration that sends that sends people's head to the moon, 859 01:07:56.000 --> 01:08:00.599 because there is an element of that and you're seen what happens when people 860 01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:06.079 don't have confidence in the current administration, and that is this this recruiting problem 861 01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:11.400 they're running into, and which is now being labeled as a racist recruiting problem 862 01:08:12.360 --> 01:08:20.000 because the recruits of white men, the recruitment numbers have plummeted comparably, but 863 01:08:20.159 --> 01:08:25.279 not just white men. They've had they've had struggles in a lot of different 864 01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:28.039 aspects, and at no point so they go, man, I wonder what's 865 01:08:28.119 --> 01:08:31.399 up with this? But when you intimate that they were fighting for the administration, 866 01:08:31.520 --> 01:08:35.680 people get very sensitive about that. And while they can point to it 867 01:08:35.720 --> 01:08:39.199 and go, well, you look, she's struggling to even get the words 868 01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:44.920 out anyway. Yeah, I'm fine with that because that she you know, 869 01:08:45.199 --> 01:08:51.399 she's bad at this as a reasonable explanation because she clearly is clearly is. 870 01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:58.760 But again, if Donald Trump or one of his spokespeople said that they were 871 01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.000 fighting for this administration, and it would be proof positive in the mind of 872 01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:06.000 journalists that he sees himself right all the thing. He's never gonna leave office. 873 01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:10.880 He's uh, he thinks he's a dictator. He's going to suspend elections. 874 01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:17.479 I mean, that's that right there is It would literally be the proof 875 01:09:17.560 --> 01:09:20.640 you would need to go out and run a ton of stories on this, 876 01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:28.319 but in this case, just a faux pas and everybody just gets back to 877 01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:30.680 what they were doing, all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven 878 01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:38.800 eight seven four lohooked over the wrong page here so that you know that obviously 879 01:09:38.880 --> 01:09:46.079 caught some folks attention yesterday, and what is this right here? And then 880 01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:49.640 she started off u skating on some other stuff. It's not really that interesting, 881 01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:54.479 just that part. Unfortunately, though, we got some cancelations we need 882 01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:58.119 to get into. All right, so let's go ahead and let's get this 883 01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:03.640 wrong. And unfortunately we're going where no man has hope. I'm sorry, 884 01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:11.079 I almost did it. We're headed to the Star Trek universe. That's right. 885 01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:15.159 Some are calling, including the EU, because you know, they're out 886 01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:19.399 there trying to get influencers licensed and people to stop dissenting, and they want 887 01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:27.000 to have like just absolute totalitarians. They're literally all the stuff that America gets 888 01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:32.199 blamed for. They're going out and doing it. They have a problem with 889 01:10:32.359 --> 01:10:40.520 Star Trek, and which, by the way, I here's the thing, 890 01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:46.199 isn't Star Trek constantly explained to me as this is the utopian, progressive paradise 891 01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:51.760 of the future. Isn't that the big argument that's out there, like we 892 01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:56.079 got rid of capitalism, we got rid of this, we got rid of 893 01:10:56.159 --> 01:11:02.600 that, no more of this. That's that's my understanding that Star Trek has 894 01:11:02.760 --> 01:11:09.319 those elements that I've literally heard people on the left arguing for. And what 895 01:11:09.439 --> 01:11:13.000 happened Although they did put a they did put a female captain in charge. 896 01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:15.920 Ross did that work out? Okay? Do we know how you're talking about? 897 01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:19.800 What's your name? What's Janeway? Who murdered? Right? Right? 898 01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:24.720 But they put you But they put a woman in charge, so and everything 899 01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:29.640 was fine and nobody was murdered or I have I would have to say, 900 01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:35.439 no buddies, right, right? So confused? So AnyWho? Yeah, 901 01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:38.760 but that was the whole point of it. So now, what does the 902 01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:45.560 EU have beef with the opening of the show? Yes, that's right. 903 01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:49.039 Uh, they are objecting to the opening of the show and that line that 904 01:11:49.119 --> 01:11:56.399 I've started to utter where no man has gone before. I don't understand why 905 01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:59.680 this is. Are they saying they're going to replace it on the original series? 906 01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:02.680 Because is the next generation already replaced it back in the late eighties early 907 01:12:02.800 --> 01:12:08.119 nineties with where no one has gone before. Yeah, well no, this 908 01:12:08.359 --> 01:12:13.239 is all retroactive to everything that airs some TV channels, everything to the original 909 01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:17.079 series. Correct, that's not right. No, And and do they mean 910 01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:20.359 man in the end like dude? Or do they mean man as in when 911 01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:26.880 we talk about man and space? How did ninety nine percent? Do they 912 01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:31.960 mean dude? Nowagan berries? No, mankind, they mean mankind. Everyone 913 01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:34.600 knows this. Now they can be but people get but hurt over what do 914 01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:41.000 you mean mankind the rest? I mean, what's the wrestler? Yeah, 915 01:12:41.279 --> 01:12:44.600 no, they don't know. That's not see that then goes back. Then 916 01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:48.520 they're right, right, so they're not right, but like they make a 917 01:12:48.560 --> 01:12:53.680 more silent point. No, I don't mean they don't mean mankind the wrestler 918 01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:58.239 unless they do, I don't know. Talk to Shatner now. Shatner says 919 01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:06.159 that no presentism at work? Again, right, Shatner, Why start at 920 01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:11.039 trek? Isn't it better to start at the beginning and redo foundation materials such 921 01:13:11.079 --> 01:13:15.600 as the Magna Carta, religious writings, works of Shakespeare before worrying about a 922 01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:19.439 silly TV show opening that reflects social commentary of the time. And I'm a 923 01:13:19.479 --> 01:13:27.039 little confused because I thought like Shatner saying it means men, and I guess 924 01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:31.600 I just it wasn't my understanding of it. If people are offended by six 925 01:13:31.680 --> 01:13:40.079 seconds of dialogue recorded in nineteen sixty six, maybe they need to educate themselves. 926 01:13:40.479 --> 01:13:45.239 And by the way, maybe that was whoever was recording Shatner not wanting 927 01:13:45.279 --> 01:13:47.840 to fall into the trap you've heard. I'm sure we've all heard, and 928 01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:53.439 if you have it, used to search it out. The amazing audio of 929 01:13:53.720 --> 01:13:58.079 a studio session that Shatner did for I can't remember what he was recording. 930 01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:00.000 Yeah, I think it was like some sort of you know, astronomy or 931 01:14:00.119 --> 01:14:04.399 space show or something something. Yeah, he's in the booth and he's reading 932 01:14:04.439 --> 01:14:08.560 his lines, and he's William Shatner. He's done this his entire life. 933 01:14:08.600 --> 01:14:11.720 He's a professional. He knows what he's doing. But the guy, who 934 01:14:11.880 --> 01:14:15.279 is like a newbie, like you know, young producer, is like, 935 01:14:15.520 --> 01:14:17.439 no, can you read it a little different? Can you give me more 936 01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:26.079 energy? And he just but he but he doesn't just he doesn't just go 937 01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:29.119 after him. He toys with it. He does it the way the guy 938 01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:33.520 wants it because he's like right, because it's horrible. And then he makes 939 01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:40.640 the dude do it. You're laughing the thing and he's just scroll with him. 940 01:14:40.920 --> 01:14:44.239 It's amazing. It's the two best like behind the scenes or the Casey 941 01:14:44.359 --> 01:14:47.640 case Dead Dog bit where he's dropping f bombs and the William Shatner in the 942 01:14:47.680 --> 01:14:53.079 booth with the producer. It's so great and it's just it's funny too, 943 01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:56.800 because you and I have worked in this industry. I've been taped obviously with 944 01:14:57.399 --> 01:15:00.960 a tape. You tape stuff for me every day, right, and it's 945 01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:04.880 like everyone understands what's going on. This is not this is not difficult, 946 01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:08.439 and you're right. This guy was in there and I think he probably I 947 01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:11.560 think at that point maybe Shatner was maybe the biggest person he had ever dealt 948 01:15:11.600 --> 01:15:15.640 with, and he realized that he has to look as though he's still doing 949 01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:19.199 something. And but you really don't, right, No, you don't. 950 01:15:19.439 --> 01:15:24.119 Like if I get a note from management, they're like, hey, Morgan 951 01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:27.279 Freeman is coming in. Wow, and he's going to record some spots. 952 01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:31.279 That's great. That's the easiest session of my life. Right. The dude 953 01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:35.479 doesn't need direction. He's Morgan Freeman. He knows what he's play it back 954 01:15:35.560 --> 01:15:38.880 for him and he wants, and you're like, how do you think, 955 01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:42.640 mister Freeman, And then and then you go from there because you understand, 956 01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:45.720 you understand the dude knows what he's doing. And I taped you, and 957 01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:49.720 I have taped probably hundreds of clients right over the course of a career, 958 01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:54.920 and uh, it's all about who you're taping. There are some clients that 959 01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:57.960 do their own radio commercials, so they come in it's just bengo bango, 960 01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:00.680 you're out right, and there are others who are doing it for the first 961 01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:02.359 time, and it turns into a process and you got to be able to 962 01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:08.079 read the room because they're also your clients, right, And inherently there's gonna 963 01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:11.319 be one or two clients who want to tape something and then you're like should 964 01:16:11.359 --> 01:16:15.000 I say something? But you realize, like that's what they want, and 965 01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:18.560 so you try to make it sound as good as you can and you just 966 01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:23.239 go this guy didn't read the room, man, and Shatner just puppet just 967 01:16:23.319 --> 01:16:27.600 puppeted him. And man, I could listen to that a lot. To 968 01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:30.880 other people's point, So if Captain Kirk is, you know, horrible for 969 01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:35.680 this little six seconds of dialogue, what do you do with Neil Armstrong and 970 01:16:36.039 --> 01:16:40.319 when he said it, why is it that everyone understood when he said it, 971 01:16:40.439 --> 01:16:45.359 he wasn't talking just about dudes. I've seen some people complain, but 972 01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:48.680 like, do you go back and refilming on the New Mexico sound stage? 973 01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:51.720 What do you do? Like the people behind the Star Trek. There's another 974 01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:57.000 story in the past week with William Shattner where it was the anniversary or something, 975 01:16:57.159 --> 01:16:59.640 or it was some sort of an anniversary edition was coming out and it 976 01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:02.920 was the graphic was there and he's like celebrating Star Trek and Star Trek Day 977 01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:05.960 or whatever it was. And on the picture it was a gold background with 978 01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:10.680 space and stuff and the shows, and then on it was every single captain 979 01:17:11.119 --> 01:17:15.039 except William Shattner is Captain Kirk. And he was saying, he said this 980 01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:19.359 on his x profile on Twitter. He said, they've been trying to get 981 01:17:19.439 --> 01:17:24.800 rid of me. They're trying to just eliminate them, like you never happened, 982 01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:28.279 Like Captain Pike was on there, but Captain Kirk wasn't on there. 983 01:17:28.319 --> 01:17:30.760 And obviously, if you're a big fan, you're like, there's somebody missing 984 01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:34.159 on your on your graphic here, and it's because he sort of represents everything 985 01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:38.920 that they don't like, they being the woke people now making the series because 986 01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:44.479 woke Trek is a thing now with his black coworkers. Was the first interracial 987 01:17:44.560 --> 01:17:47.560 kiss on television. Yes, but he's a big, strong white dude and 988 01:17:47.600 --> 01:17:51.199 they can't have that. Well, what's Picard? I guess he's been just 989 01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:57.239 after what they did. There's just a difference, you know, if you 990 01:17:57.359 --> 01:18:02.840 watch the two series, right court card is a is a uh stereotypical right 991 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:08.680 like American leader. Dude. It's just it's different. It's it's different, 992 01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:11.920 which is why, which is yeah, which is why you put them all 993 01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:14.199 in there. And then people can pick their favorites. I know people like 994 01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:16.439 Shatner, I know people like Picards. I love them both. Yeah, 995 01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:20.279 but you know, and and those are fun, nice arguments. And then 996 01:18:20.439 --> 01:18:24.399 well Ross's favorite Jane way as we know, that's what he keeps talking about. 997 01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:27.680 But you can you know that, And I'm joking with you, But 998 01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:30.760 there's probably people out there who think Janeway is the best captain. Of course 999 01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.239 there are, Yeah, there's imagine there's a there's a town somewhere where there's 1000 01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:36.199 a statue of her Sta And I'm like, we need to tear that thing 1001 01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:39.840 down, She murdered tuvics. No, you just cut it in half, 1002 01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:43.960 just cut it right down the middle of it. Boom, you're out of 1003 01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:46.479 there. Ah. So yeah, you know, we got to change everything 1004 01:18:46.520 --> 01:18:51.760 because absolutely, absolutely, this is the biggest problem facing things right now. 1005 01:18:53.720 --> 01:18:57.079 Uh. Well that in environmental issues, which is why the state of New 1006 01:18:57.199 --> 01:19:03.640 Jersey decided that they were gonna Dare County everybody that was no single use plastic 1007 01:19:03.680 --> 01:19:06.039 bags. We got to do this. I remember when Dare County did that, 1008 01:19:06.319 --> 01:19:11.000 like right when they did that, and I was going on a fishing 1009 01:19:11.039 --> 01:19:14.760 trip with some of my friends to Hatteras right for the drum run there in 1010 01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:17.279 the fall, and I was so irritated because the first thing we do is 1011 01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:20.119 go to the grocery store because we need we need all the food for like 1012 01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:25.880 ten dudes over you know, the week or whatever we were down there. 1013 01:19:25.960 --> 01:19:30.199 So we go into this food line, man, and they're like, oh, 1014 01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:31.720 you get all the paper, but the problem is you want plastic bags 1015 01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:34.840 because like food's going to be trans're right on the ocean, We're going to 1016 01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:39.399 be taking it out onto the sand out on the point there. Go fishing 1017 01:19:39.479 --> 01:19:42.680 and everything and if you put that in uh a bag, you know, 1018 01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:48.199 uh, cardboard bags, it's gonna last about thirteen seconds out against the sea 1019 01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:55.239 air. So I had brought the bag of under the sink bags, right, 1020 01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:58.479 So it's the bag that you have all the bags in where if one 1021 01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:01.600 day their currency you're rich ross, you have what a million plastic bags under 1022 01:20:01.600 --> 01:20:04.279 your sink something like I said, if like when the apocalypse goes down, 1023 01:20:04.359 --> 01:20:08.840 and if that turns up being like the currency, like give fallout's bottle caps 1024 01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:12.399 and if our universe it's it's empty plastic bags, I'm like, bezos, 1025 01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:16.159 Oh wow, that's amazing. So I brought a whole bag of those things, 1026 01:20:16.279 --> 01:20:18.760 and there was and we went into the food there's a food line just 1027 01:20:18.840 --> 01:20:21.760 forere you get the hatteris right there. And we went in there and we 1028 01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:26.840 because we're buying all chicken, you know, kind of the freezers. It's 1029 01:20:27.079 --> 01:20:30.039 just and we get to the end there and I produce a bag with like 1030 01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:33.119 a hundred plastic bags in it, and like the checkout chicks staring at me 1031 01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:35.960 like, oh, we can't do that. And I'm like, so there's 1032 01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:39.600 six dudes just stuffing those bags, like well, we'll do it. What 1033 01:20:39.640 --> 01:20:43.640 are you gonna do about it? New Jersey decided they were going to do 1034 01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:49.079 that statewide, and now we have some insight into how that worked. And 1035 01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:54.840 I gotta tell you, I'm gonna need you all to be sitting down well 1036 01:20:55.199 --> 01:20:58.560 when we come back after the bottom of the hour, okay, because you're 1037 01:20:58.640 --> 01:21:01.279 going to be shocked to learn how that went down. So get yourself prone, 1038 01:21:01.399 --> 01:21:04.000 strap in, do whatever you gotta do. We'll give you the details 1039 01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:10.520 of the New Jersey experiment. And we got to talk about this Texas thing, 1040 01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:14.840 the God's Army. Oh yeah, all that more coming up Cacoday radio 1041 01:21:14.960 --> 01:21:23.960 program. Officials in Australia are discussing for more stringent requirements for outside chains to 1042 01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:30.239 enter the Australian market. So and it sounds like we're talking food restaurants, 1043 01:21:30.279 --> 01:21:36.079 says, you know, fast food restaurants and then fast casual and other chains 1044 01:21:36.880 --> 01:21:42.479 because of health concerns or something. But in US, I thought we used 1045 01:21:42.479 --> 01:21:44.640 to go along with Australia. Man. I think it's when we were like, 1046 01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:47.000 hey, maybe you shouldn't put people in camps. I think maybe that's 1047 01:21:47.039 --> 01:21:49.960 what irritated them. And by the way, they have a long they have 1048 01:21:50.039 --> 01:21:55.680 a history long and story to history, not just in Australia but in This 1049 01:21:55.840 --> 01:22:00.000 is what gets people excited about stuff. Man. People get you know, 1050 01:22:00.159 --> 01:22:04.279 when when you're in another country and there's something cool in another country, if 1051 01:22:04.319 --> 01:22:08.720 it's coming there, like, people tend to get excited. We're just kind 1052 01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:13.000 of the one of the greatest exporters of it. But other countries are picking 1053 01:22:13.079 --> 01:22:15.359 up. I'm trying to remember they have this. They have a chain in 1054 01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:21.399 the Philippines and the name escapes me, but they do fried chicken, pasta 1055 01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:30.119 and burgers, and like they're opening some branches in the US, So that's 1056 01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:31.399 weird. You know what else is ross? Do you know what they do? 1057 01:22:31.399 --> 01:22:34.640 You know McDonald's is not called McDonald's in Australia. Did you know that? 1058 01:22:35.960 --> 01:22:39.079 So they can't even get the name right. So maybe this is for 1059 01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:42.399 the best. So if you're ever down under, not that you would be. 1060 01:22:42.600 --> 01:22:44.359 And he wanted to know where the McDonald's, did you know what? 1061 01:22:44.439 --> 01:22:49.319 You got to call it? Maccas, macers or maccas, I can't remember 1062 01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:51.479 they call it. The first time I heard it, it confused the hell 1063 01:22:51.520 --> 01:22:54.239 out of me. I'm like, oh, you're talking about McDonald's, Like 1064 01:22:54.319 --> 01:22:58.439 no, no, macers and I'm like, what does it sell like quarter 1065 01:22:58.520 --> 01:23:00.760 pounders? And no, no, they call it back. They called a 1066 01:23:00.840 --> 01:23:03.479 dingo with cheese, dingo with oh, excuse me, a dingle. It's 1067 01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:08.600 a dingo ryale with cheese. Yes, right, yeah, yeah, does 1068 01:23:08.680 --> 01:23:11.119 that have baby on it? I think we came to find out it did, 1069 01:23:11.279 --> 01:23:14.800 right because I remember an issue like, no way that happened. So 1070 01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:18.439 yeah, they call like Maca's, Where's where's auscy? Paul? He knows 1071 01:23:18.479 --> 01:23:20.640 what I'm talking about. Now. I had a I had a buddy, 1072 01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:25.000 uh streamer buddy who was in Australia, and he told me he was talking 1073 01:23:25.039 --> 01:23:26.960 about that. I was like, what are you talking about? He explained 1074 01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:30.880 he'd explained that it was McDonald's. Yeah, it's macaus Yeah. But I 1075 01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:33.960 think that they called it that for so long that years ago McDonald's went fine, 1076 01:23:35.359 --> 01:23:40.520 now it's and that because I saw a commercial McDonald's commercial and they had 1077 01:23:40.520 --> 01:23:45.039 the logo, but the the voiceover dude who was obviously it's an Australian voiceovers 1078 01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:47.079 like na, it's maccas. I'm like, all right, whatever, I'm 1079 01:23:47.079 --> 01:23:49.359 glad you're happy. So I guess I want to screw with that. EU 1080 01:23:49.439 --> 01:23:55.960 was looking at that too. Okay, I'm telling you, man, the 1081 01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:59.119 idiots, which is fine, they don't have to have any of our stuff. 1082 01:24:00.119 --> 01:24:02.640 But you know there's also and this is this is a bit of the 1083 01:24:02.720 --> 01:24:06.439 lazy American tourist. I kind of get excited too when I'm when I travel 1084 01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:11.199 international and I'm like, look at that. You know, they have all 1085 01:24:11.239 --> 01:24:16.720 over the world, almost everywhere you go seven elevens, especially in parts of 1086 01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:20.640 Asia and Africa and South America. And I got seven elevens everywhere, And 1087 01:24:20.680 --> 01:24:24.560 I'm like, okay, all right, I didn't I didn't expect that, 1088 01:24:26.239 --> 01:24:31.359 but they do. But yeah, so that's I guess something now we have 1089 01:24:31.439 --> 01:24:34.880 to concern ourselves with if we care about those things. Let me grab a 1090 01:24:34.960 --> 01:24:40.199 quick call on the Star Trek stuff. Hey Jim, what's up? Hey, 1091 01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:43.640 good morning, Casey. I gotta admit I feel a little bit like 1092 01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:47.960 Brett Kavanaugh the Chucky Schumer whirlwind. Nine guys are covering some interesting topics. 1093 01:24:48.000 --> 01:24:53.079 The first thing is the Star Trek. I thought you were gonna say that 1094 01:24:53.159 --> 01:24:57.279 people were in an uproar about the dangling participle that's been hanging there for fifty 1095 01:24:57.359 --> 01:25:02.439 years to boldly go I mean that's covered a couple of series. Now they 1096 01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:06.640 keep making that grammatical sin. So anyway, that's where I thought you were 1097 01:25:06.680 --> 01:25:12.880 going. Also, I'm pretty joking when I call you guys, but I'm 1098 01:25:12.920 --> 01:25:15.640 serious about this. For each service member killed, we need to hit an 1099 01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:23.079 Iranian side. I recommend an oil refinery at oil Terminal and a drone factory 1100 01:25:23.239 --> 01:25:28.000 inside Iran or and then you can go ahead and take out some proxy too, 1101 01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:30.680 but definitely hit Iran this time. They need a punch in the mouth. 1102 01:25:31.119 --> 01:25:34.880 Well, I mean, what is But let me Devil's advocate you because 1103 01:25:34.920 --> 01:25:38.880 people would say, well, you're a warmonger and you're going to start World 1104 01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:43.880 War three. And that's a legitimate concern because Iran is wildly impredictable. But 1105 01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:49.279 I don't know what to do about it. I think what I said would 1106 01:25:49.279 --> 01:25:53.000 be fine. I don't know if the I Ran would respond in kind. 1107 01:25:53.079 --> 01:25:56.359 I don't, you know. I almost dare them to. I don't want 1108 01:25:56.399 --> 01:25:59.399 to be a warmonger either, But we got to cut off the source of 1109 01:25:59.479 --> 01:26:01.600 funding. We got to cut off the means of attack on our soldiers. 1110 01:26:02.039 --> 01:26:05.479 Over one hundred and sixty attacks and what have we taken out a warehouse in 1111 01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:09.920 the desert. Come on, it's time to respond with some force. I 1112 01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:13.760 know Biden doesn't have it in them, but somebody needs to whoever's in charge 1113 01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:16.119 up there. I think what you're going to see when they reveal, to 1114 01:26:16.199 --> 01:26:19.960 the extent that they reveal it, whatever their game plan is is, it's 1115 01:26:20.039 --> 01:26:25.560 going to be core focused at these ancillary groups, whether it's the HOOTI rebels, 1116 01:26:25.560 --> 01:26:29.319 threading to shut off and see stuff. But all three of the passages 1117 01:26:29.359 --> 01:26:34.239 there around the Middle East to Hesbella to others. And I also feel like, 1118 01:26:34.359 --> 01:26:38.800 if you want to grease those dudes, you can grease a lot more 1119 01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:44.000 and still call it proportional because there is this weird you know it's Iran, 1120 01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:45.800 but you can't say it's Iran kind of thing. So I don't know, 1121 01:26:46.039 --> 01:26:49.159 but they better do something. I just I'll be curious. Well, those 1122 01:26:49.159 --> 01:26:53.119 the pendives will just grow back. You've got to hit the head and you 1123 01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:56.239 got to give it a little bit of a headache. And also, will 1124 01:26:56.239 --> 01:26:59.720 you sign my petition to band sand spikes a beach chaired At the point, 1125 01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:02.199 I'm tired of these coders sitting up camp. There's no camping at the point. 1126 01:27:03.000 --> 01:27:08.880 Oh, you're talking Hatteras, Not well coders, I mean the guys 1127 01:27:08.920 --> 01:27:13.199 that's sit in their chair and take a valuable fishing space. Look comes in 1128 01:27:13.279 --> 01:27:18.159 there between them. Yeah, let me say this, if if, if, 1129 01:27:18.399 --> 01:27:21.159 if you are, if you are anybody who is new to North Carolina 1130 01:27:21.319 --> 01:27:26.720 and you have never had the opportunity to go to Cape Hatteras, And when 1131 01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:30.279 that drum running, when the run, when the drumer running through that channel 1132 01:27:30.359 --> 01:27:33.159 between that island we claimed and whatnot? If you're sitting down there, what 1133 01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:39.279 you have is one hundred dudes shoulder to shoulder lines in the water and drum 1134 01:27:39.479 --> 01:27:44.039 hooking up. And it's so frantic that you are waded into the water and 1135 01:27:44.279 --> 01:27:46.199 a guy next to you is like I got one coming through. Like I've 1136 01:27:46.319 --> 01:27:49.760 jumped in the air so drum could be ripped below my feet. It is 1137 01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:58.920 absolute pandemonium and all and it's great. I love it. Uh And yeah, 1138 01:27:59.039 --> 01:28:00.640 but I wasn't gonna start with paper bag, sir, that was a 1139 01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:02.680 bridge too far, all right, I got a roll, Thanks for the 1140 01:28:02.760 --> 01:28:09.439 calder. It's crazy town man, fun though, But some dudes set up 1141 01:28:09.439 --> 01:28:12.640 in a chair. I didn't even know how that would work. Not well, 1142 01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:16.840 I guess would probably be my guest there and Ross we had the MLK 1143 01:28:17.000 --> 01:28:19.520 Day holiday. If you remember we had the day off. Do you remember 1144 01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:24.560 one of the news stories that I guess we didn't see that we always see 1145 01:28:25.399 --> 01:28:28.319 and it only now dawned upon me that we didn't see one of these What 1146 01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:30.720 is the inevitable? It's just like Halloween. Inevitably, there's gonna be one 1147 01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:35.720 of these stories Halloween. It's usually a frat house with the theme of costumes 1148 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:40.760 that moonbats don't like. Yeah, Or it's like a restaurant that puts together 1149 01:28:40.920 --> 01:28:44.319 like an MLK theme. You got it, you got it, Yeah, 1150 01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:51.319 except it wasn't a restaurant, It was Syracuse University. But it's very interesting. 1151 01:28:53.720 --> 01:28:59.319 Syracuse Food Service is now apologizing for their MLK dinner menu, which featured 1152 01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:03.800 a picture of MLK and it said MLK by the numbers. Our catering team 1153 01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:08.720 is prepared seven hundred pounds of fried chicken, one hundred and fifty gallons of 1154 01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:13.560 lemonade, one hundred square feet of chocolate cake, one hundred and thirty gallons 1155 01:29:13.600 --> 01:29:18.239 of mac and cheese, and two hundred and seventy five a dozen corn muffins, 1156 01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:20.199 which, by the way, that sounds good for me. I don't 1157 01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:25.680 know what you all are going to eat, and they put that and I 1158 01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:30.079 don't know why it took so long, but the Syracuse University had an interesting 1159 01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:35.479 rebuttal which I had not heard before, and I don't and you would think 1160 01:29:35.560 --> 01:29:42.960 that people would shut up after this. The menu, according to Syracuse University, 1161 01:29:43.279 --> 01:29:50.359 is the exact menu that is is served in the cafeteria of the Smithsonian's 1162 01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:59.439 National Museum of African American History and Culture and is sold in DC at that 1163 01:29:59.640 --> 01:30:08.119 museum a quote a celebration of traditional excuse me, traditional authentic African American cooking. 1164 01:30:08.600 --> 01:30:15.399 So they mirrored they took the Smithsonian's recipe that the Smithsonian uses at the 1165 01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:21.520 African American National National Museum of African American History and Culture. So supposedly the 1166 01:30:21.880 --> 01:30:27.159 learned the most learned people on this particular topic, and they just they did 1167 01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:33.000 the same menu and they're getting roasted for it. So at this point, 1168 01:30:33.079 --> 01:30:35.680 you know, if you're if you're a food cert you probably shouldn't even serve 1169 01:30:35.760 --> 01:30:41.279 food on that day, because if you can't win mirroring the Smithsonian's menu, 1170 01:30:41.399 --> 01:30:46.319 you're probably screwed. Eight forty five race stage. It's here Okay, I 1171 01:30:46.479 --> 01:30:50.039 know, man, everybody, that's a great rebuttal though. I'm glad they 1172 01:30:50.079 --> 01:30:53.279 had that in their pocket, but nobody seems to care. They're like, 1173 01:30:53.439 --> 01:30:57.399 we just did the same menu with the experts, puot. You can't win 1174 01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:03.039 dud su sushi or something. Yes, exactly, exactly a winning for I 1175 01:31:03.119 --> 01:31:06.319 mean really not a bunch of rain over the next seven days. There's a 1176 01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:12.960 little week weather system coming through that will be probably tonight and be gone by 1177 01:31:13.000 --> 01:31:15.800 tomorrow morning, and most of us will actually end up in pretty decent shape 1178 01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:17.800 for the rest of the week, even as we get into the month of 1179 01:31:18.039 --> 01:31:23.960 February on Thursday, so might have a little rain coming in after midnight tonight 1180 01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:27.840 from west east. Already starting to see the clouds coming across the triad and 1181 01:31:28.079 --> 01:31:30.359 starting to get into the triangle right now. But they're high clouds a little 1182 01:31:30.359 --> 01:31:33.239 bit ahead of schedule, So just going to go increasing clouds from this point 1183 01:31:33.319 --> 01:31:38.119 forward, nearer just above fifty than those clouds will lower and thicken. We'll 1184 01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:40.960 get some rain tonight, less than a tenth of an inch, though it 1185 01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:43.920 doesn't look like a bunch near forty, and that chance of rain to be 1186 01:31:43.960 --> 01:31:45.840 with us tomorrow morning. Scattered areas of light rain, I think, and 1187 01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:49.600 it will have fifty tomorrow afternoon and then low thirties tomorrow night, Thursday Friday, 1188 01:31:49.640 --> 01:31:54.800 the great sunshine warmer, temperatures back up fifties to the year sixty and 1189 01:31:54.920 --> 01:31:58.800 probably in the fifties with sunshine over the weekend. Early next week starts to 1190 01:31:58.800 --> 01:32:01.399 look at a little bit more unst so most of our rain does come, 1191 01:32:01.560 --> 01:32:03.960 as I said today and the first part of tomorrow. The rest of the 1192 01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:08.479 week looks great. I was a good at to February, above normal temperatures 1193 01:32:08.680 --> 01:32:11.680 backing off just a little bit. And then as we get into early next 1194 01:32:11.720 --> 01:32:14.399 week, it does look like we'll start to see some rain. But casey, 1195 01:32:14.520 --> 01:32:17.239 I don't see any ice or snow or anything like that. And I 1196 01:32:17.279 --> 01:32:19.920 don't even see in the arcticare coming into the lower forty eight over the next 1197 01:32:20.000 --> 01:32:24.479 seven days. There's some chatter that then may change toward the middle of the 1198 01:32:24.520 --> 01:32:27.960 month, but you know, i'd go out three or five days, and 1199 01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:30.479 I don't take much stock beyond that, so we'll go what we do. 1200 01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:34.000 So there you got audience. If anytime Ray says something that's more than three 1201 01:32:34.079 --> 01:32:38.159 days out, ignore them. There that's right, just tune it out. 1202 01:32:38.479 --> 01:32:40.560 That's what he said. All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it 1203 01:32:40.680 --> 01:32:43.920 yep. And Jeff Bellinger joins us next, Hang on, all right, 1204 01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:47.199 age fifty three. Glad to have you along Cacoda Radio program. Let's do 1205 01:32:47.319 --> 01:32:51.399 our Bloomberg check in now with Jeff Pellinger. Jeff, what's happening now? 1206 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:56.279 Good morning, casey. A stock's moved higher yesterday. Advances for the major 1207 01:32:56.359 --> 01:33:00.520 averages range from six ten percent to more than one percent. We saw the 1208 01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:02.960 Dow and the S and P five hundred closing at record highs, but the 1209 01:33:03.039 --> 01:33:06.800 futures are lower across the board. This morning, S and P, NASDAC, 1210 01:33:06.880 --> 01:33:12.319 and Dow futures are all down about a quarter percent. The Federal Reserve 1211 01:33:12.439 --> 01:33:16.520 opens a two day policy meeting today. The betting among economists that interest rates 1212 01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:21.199 will be left unchanged this time around, but central bankers will likely start to 1213 01:33:21.279 --> 01:33:26.520 set the stage for rate hikes soon, possibly as early as the March meeting. 1214 01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:30.039 Walmart is planning to test a high tech, twenty first century update on 1215 01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:35.119 the blue Light. Special digital labels will light up when activated by shoppers who 1216 01:33:35.239 --> 01:33:41.840 use the Walmart app. The giant retailer hopes to improve profitability and productivity With 1217 01:33:41.960 --> 01:33:45.520 this system, which is already being used to guide employees who stock shelves and 1218 01:33:45.640 --> 01:33:50.199 fulfill orders in a few dozen stores. The days of remote work are ending 1219 01:33:50.319 --> 01:33:56.359 for IBM managers. Big Blue has issued an ultimatum to managers who continue to 1220 01:33:56.439 --> 01:34:00.399 work remotely. They will have to move close to an IBM office or else 1221 01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:04.239 leave the company. Toyota retains its bragging rights as the world's number one car 1222 01:34:04.359 --> 01:34:10.399 maker. The company and its subsidiaries sold more than eleven million vehicles last year, 1223 01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:15.800 new record. Retailers hoping for a lucrative Valentine's Day. The National Retail 1224 01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:20.399 Federation predicts spending for the holiday we'll set a record topping fourteen billion dollars. 1225 01:34:20.920 --> 01:34:27.520 And Casey Duncan has a new deal with Conegra Brands. Missus Butterworth's Duncan Clayze 1226 01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:32.520 donut flavored pancake syrup is hitting grocery store shells now. Casey, I'm sorry, 1227 01:34:32.800 --> 01:34:40.199 what is it flavored? It is a Duncan glazed doughnut flavored pancakes syrup. 1228 01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:43.359 I just need this. This turns to pumpkin spice real quick. This 1229 01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:45.520 is not okay, all right, thank you, Jef all right, day 1230 01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:49.359 news there, Yeah, appreciate it. Speaking of doomsday news, I was 1231 01:34:49.399 --> 01:34:53.359 reading this article on There's a lot going on in here, but here's the 1232 01:34:53.479 --> 01:34:58.800 gist of it. White hat and or black hat hackers. So you know, 1233 01:34:58.880 --> 01:35:01.359 people hack for varie idea of reasons seem to have some common ground, 1234 01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:08.119 and that is they the perceived threat of AI. And as a result, 1235 01:35:08.319 --> 01:35:13.359 you have hacker groups that say they are now working on software to quote poison 1236 01:35:13.720 --> 01:35:17.319 AI models. Right, so they're gonna put little bugs. I'm not a 1237 01:35:17.760 --> 01:35:21.840 I'm not super duper computer hacker dude, but you know, basically they want 1238 01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:27.000 to write software and other uh uh, they want to write viruses for AI 1239 01:35:28.039 --> 01:35:34.960 to stop the rollout. I why do I feel like this brings murder AI 1240 01:35:35.199 --> 01:35:43.319 faster? Is that? Is that wrong? Because like, how many doomsday 1241 01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:46.439 movies have an element of people who who thought that they were you know, 1242 01:35:46.640 --> 01:35:51.600 fighting. What's the Brad Pitt the twelve monkeys, right, Isn't that whole 1243 01:35:51.640 --> 01:35:56.800 thing's predicated on them? What breaking into this research facility with these monkeys and 1244 01:35:56.800 --> 01:36:00.319 they're like, ah, we're gonna let them out because they should be free, 1245 01:36:00.439 --> 01:36:05.560 except they're murder monkeys. So they murder them, and that's that's a 1246 01:36:05.640 --> 01:36:09.399 trope in another movie I'm thinking of too. I might be even conflating, 1247 01:36:09.479 --> 01:36:12.760 but there's at least two of them like that, so I don't know, 1248 01:36:13.279 --> 01:36:15.840 Now you're going to poison the AI models. I feel like they're just going 1249 01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:19.479 to murder us faster. So that's just me and New Jersey. I mentioned 1250 01:36:19.520 --> 01:36:25.840 that they decided to go full plastic bag band did it back to twenty twenty 1251 01:36:25.920 --> 01:36:29.920 and now the law didn't go There was lawsuits, so they law went into 1252 01:36:29.960 --> 01:36:33.760 effect May of twenty twenty two. But they're finally releasing the numbers based on 1253 01:36:33.840 --> 01:36:38.720 the first year, so this is May twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three. 1254 01:36:39.359 --> 01:36:44.399 Did it accomplish its goal of saving the planet and the number of plastic 1255 01:36:44.479 --> 01:36:48.399 bags did go down, fell by sixty percent in the state. However, 1256 01:36:48.560 --> 01:36:58.920 the problem was the total number of bags also includes these alternatives which have a 1257 01:36:59.239 --> 01:37:02.920 much larger your carbon footprints. So think of these as like that woven polypropylene 1258 01:37:02.960 --> 01:37:08.079 stuff. You probably have a few if you do food delivery or grocery delivery. 1259 01:37:08.199 --> 01:37:11.920 Some of the companies use those. I got a drawer full of those, 1260 01:37:12.039 --> 01:37:14.399 but frankly, I never used them. I wouldn't take them to a 1261 01:37:14.439 --> 01:37:18.840 grocery store as are reusable, because they're just tenuous enough. I don't know 1262 01:37:18.920 --> 01:37:19.760 that I trust them
