Putty. It is six through seven, it is Friday, and normally Ross
picks whatever it is and then attaches some horrible name. I'm sick this morning,
and you know what, looking back, if i'd have been a little
more of a detective yesterday, I probably wouldn't be in this boat. So
Thursday, who's gonna sound very bougie. Thursday is when my cleaning girl comes
and she's awesome. She is, um, I had another one. She
kind of like flaked out, didn't want to do it. This one was
a friend recommended, perfect. Love it. When she shows up, but
she texts me and she says, I'm sick. I can my mother,
who cleans because they live together and my mother cleans, can she come over?
And I'm like, yeah, that's fine if some you know, if
that's what you want to do, I'll just pay her whatever. So Mom
comes up. Mom is very good, but Mom's got a little bit of
a cough, and now I'm sick. So I have whatever they all have.
And I didn't even see that yet. See, I always when my
cleaning person comes over, I make them more like the et radiation suit,
like all the time, because I don't know where they've been, I don't
know what's happening. So, I mean, and when they're touching my very
expensive things in my house, I don't want them like contaminating them. So
I'm like, as soon as they come in them you need to put the
suit on. And they complain and they're like, I can't breathe. I'm
like, listen, I'm paying you to clean my giant house. You need
to put the suit on. Are you making fun of me because I'm cleaning,
but I keep my house very clean. I just want to point out,
like if if you want was she the first time the new cleaning girl
walked in, I'm like, yeah, okay, all right, hey blah
blah blah, this this you know, showing and here's where the mops and
the brooms and the stuff. And she's looking around like the beds made,
everything's straight up. The kitchens. There's nothing in the kitchen except a few
dishes in the sink. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not really,
I don't need you to do dishes and set that. I just need like
the deep cleaning stuff because I hate doing that. That's what she does.
And she's like the complete opposite. I just make a mess, just so
she has something to do. Like I feel like I'm giving her purpose.
She still cleans for like an hour, and we have a set rate,
so like she could clean in an hour and be gone or forty five minutes
or whatever. She's like here an hour and a half. She's very good
and uh. But but the reason I bring that up not just to explain
the state of my voice and so you could hear Ross is weird radiation suit
alien thing. Um, I'm just saying when I haven't a person clean my
house is definitely here in North Carolina, what I do is you know,
I just put on a suit. Didn't you have to like kind of be
a little not forthcoming over your acquisition over your yard guy. I seem to
remember that, right, No, that was amazing how that happened. Yeah,
yea, yeah, no, no, no, I'm just pointing this
out. So you got a yard guy, I got a cleaning. I've
got a yard guy that maybe comes every month. Maybe you can find him
when he shows up. He just shows up and he wants to show up.
For those of you don't know, stam like twenty bucks. For those
of you don't know, the story, Ross had like he had the lawn
to mow, and but you had a bunch of branches to cut on one
of your trees. No, I had a very busy I can't remember what
it was, but we are going to have some sort of like event at
the house, like guests or something, which is very rare, and Market's
like, get it, bron, I'm gonna go take it done. So
she went to work and I walked out of the house to like start and
this guy was walking by with his lawnmower and his stuff and I was like,
oh. I was like you, let's let's get this done. And
he's like yah, and I'm like how much and he's like twenty bucks and
I'm like that's amazing because even I can afford that. And then what happened
When your wife got back, she's like, this is amazing. It looks
great. Give you a big kiss. She's like, you're the best husband
ever. And what did you do? I said, yeah, it was
hard work, just tough. And then then when Spencer came back, it
was like, you know, a month later, she's like, who's this
dude in the yard. I'm like, that's that's a long guy. I's
the trespasser. I'll handle, like, go inside, get the boy into
the safe room. Then he knocked on the door, you know, because
he was looking for payment. And Mark he opens the door and she's like,
yeah, put the suit on, put the suit on. I'm like,
no, no, no, that's not the cleaning person. That's the
that's the yard person. And she apologized. I love that. I love
that. You didn't even almost get away with it, right. You had
to know that was going to happen. Oh, completely, because he's already
sketched. You just walking around with a lawnmower taking bids, you know what
I mean. And and good for him, um, and he did a
good job and all that, but you know that, uh once he did
that and he's like, oh this yard, this is perfect, and I
can make twenty. He's gonna be back. Man. He does the entire
block. Now, yeah, well he does a good job, but they
love it. He does it all overweight before. He's a great dude.
That's that's why they're cleaning. This cleaning girl's working out because she literally does
my house. Then she goes and does the guy recommended his house like right
after, and we're on the same block. So we we's like this is
this is perfect because no gas expended. Spencer and I also we have something
in common. You remember the five dollars and quarters. Girl, I ever
forget that he has. He has like one of those like hey, you
can't come on my property things when it comes to her like he had a
trespassed, Yeah, trespassed. Yeah, you didn't have her trespassed. I
did not, yeah. Yeah. And then she comes back, then she's
violating trespass. Come on, man, don't you watch First Amendment auditors.
There is a big thing in then they're not quite the sovereign citizen is more.
I was about to say I was gonna do a trespass, but she
told me she was a traveler and she was a sovereign citizen. And then
she pulled out some documentation she got off the internet, and I was like,
okay, never mind. You can't even get her name. You get
like the name of the entity or what. I can't remember how it goes,
but ah, those are those are something man. But anyway, long
way around just telling you, I feel like crap, and I'm feeling worse
is the day goes on. So I told ROSSI, could you know,
maybe he should just pick what we talk about. But then what was it?
Olive Garden? First time, last time, best time, favorite hours,
right, favorite thing on the menu? What food most reminds you of
Tuscany? Right, because you would have had gone to Tuscany to be able
to go. Ah, this reminds me of Tuscany. And I suspect the
majority of our audience hasn't hasn't been to Tuscany. Not personal, I mean,
you don't really if you've been to Olive Garden, you don't really have
to go to Tuscan. It's like the same thing because you're there and you're
surrounded by family. So now it's a that's a that's a fair point.
All right. Well, if we get around to it, I will let
me give you a little rundown because we got we got some good audio today
which will help save my voice, so big fan of that. Um,
we have like a janitor indicted in the Trump thing. Now I don't understand
this, right, some maintenance dude who works for Trump who's like, you
know, like, what do you want me to do? Boss? Yeah?
Could you move those boxes? Boom? Now you're indicted. So I
perhaps there's more to it, but it's they just literally have the name and
they don't even have the other charging data when I was reading this thing yesterday.
So um, we will uh, we'll get into that and much more,
but let me do this. We'll take a break. Come back six
or fifteen k c O Day Radio program, Smart Talk all Day, w
PTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All
right, good morning, it is six twenty here on the Koda Radio program.
Yeah, dude, I'd be I'd be steaming. I've seen that done
in um uh Europe, right where you're in a very small country and the
airlines will have their own bus services there and there's really not a reason to
take a flight from like Dublin to Cork. It makes sense. I was
just telling us off here. One of our one of our listeners who travels
a bunch, he had to go up to one of the He had to
go to one of the cities in Pennsylvania. And I don't want to give
away too much in folts his business, but I was laughing when I saw
this. So he's got to go up there, not Philly, not Pittsburgh,
but one of the other cities which has its own airport. I would
point this out big enough that it's got its own airport. So he's booked
and his ticket shows Raleigh to Philly, Philly to where this is. He
lands in Philly and it's an airline ticket. But then they go like all
right, everybody step out to the curb, and then instead of a plane
for the short route, they're running a bus. Now that's crazy. That'd
be about a twenty minute It wouldn't even be a twenty minute flight. I'd
be I'd be I'd be curious if you even got above ten thousand feet at
that point, I would be so confused. But now you got a two
hour bus ride. Well yeah, and I priced just that portion of the
route, and you know for what you can trust it on my app,
and it's not cheap, Like I wouldn't pay that for a flight even but
I guess when you bundle it in it probably isn't as expensive. But yeah,
i'd be stewing the whole two hours. I was confused. And I
think it was the new work when I flew home a few weeks ago,
because it was like, concourse, a you land in coming out of Raleigh,
and then they were like, hey, you need to go to like
concourse D and I'm like, all right, well, I'm going to take
like the shuttle and I was I was thinking because I'd previously depended the pass
when I have to take go to the airport, it's like an underground shuttle
or something, and I was confused just taking. So you walk outside and
it's like you're outside in the airport and I'm like, well, where's the
concourse And They're like, you have to wait for the bus and the bus
takes you to the other wing of the airport. There's no like and I'm
like, that confused me alone, let alone like having to get on a
bus and take the remainder of your trip two hours to your destination. That's
crazy. And the whole time you're booking too. Unless you click the details,
you don't know it's a bus. You should When you look at the
time, you're like, why would it take that long? But you have
to click through to it and it says select your flights and that's like,
those aren't flights unless you're bus flies. But I don't think the bus flies,
so yeah I would, and I you know, maybe they doesn't have
enough people flying the route, and that's what they decided to do. So
it is what it is. I'll tell you where you if you really want
to stress yourself out on traveling. And I've done this in Chicago, New
York, and I did this in London too. Split your airports, right,
so one flight is into one airport and then you have to if they
have a shuttle, great, but if not, you got to get an
uber or a taxi or something and hope traffic isn't some weird thing that you
underestimated to get over to your other airport. And I one time it was
nightmarish and I missed my fly, but it's worked out the other two and
that was Chicago, Thank you Chicago. Who by the way, I don't
know if you saw the video. I did post it on Twitter. Um
so they have the Cubs playing socks, so you know it's a big deal.
Got it there Wrigley and some folks got themselves a luxury box. I
don't even know what that must cost, especially during that because that is an
expensive ticket. So you're in a luxury box. You shouldn't have a worry
in the world. You ever ross you ever got to sit in a luxury
box for an event? Radio connection? Well, yeah, when wwe came
from news way. It was so great, and they had like a spread
of food and stuff. Oh like no peasants around class entire way. I
so did not deserve it. I fell out of my element. But it's
great. Yeah. I got a couple of times for a hockey game and
then uh a Vikings one one time, but that was more of we were
we were walking, we were hanging out with Joey Browner and when two of
the cheerleaders and they go box to box to gladhand and we were doing a
feature for the radio. But it was cool, man, I would so
the idea that you would then turn your luxury box into the Royal Rumble is
beyond me. But sure enough, there you go. They are except for
one dude who's just eating his ice cream. He's in his chair, didn't
have a care in the world. He's there to watch the game. People
are acting fools near him and he's just like, nah, I'm gonna eat
my ice cream. So good on that guy. But yeah, yeah,
yeah, oh wait, hold on, dude, a bus dude, just
email me, he said. He said the bus was set up like an
airplane, and they even did a safety briefing stop it stop it really did
they with what they's maybe maybe they won't notice they're on a bus. Is
there oxygen mask? What's going on is that there's like makeshifts wings on the
bus. You know, do you ever see do you ever see the British
reality show or they convinced these people that they were on a they were on
a shuttle, like a like a space shuttle. Yeah. No, they
built a whole apparatus for these cats so it literally it moved and they were
able to simulate gee even so that they felt they were taken off the whole
thing. They had it all these they thought they were in space. And
I can't remember how many were were being screwed with and how many were actors,
but dude, they thought they were in space and they had it all
rigged up so that from a view standpoint, from a constant motion when they
were during takeoff or changing pitches or any of that. Like, they went
all out on this, and uh, can you imagine though you think you
win one of the tourist spots on one of the space shuttles. You think
you're you're telling everybody right, I'm going to space and you're not. And
I'm not even rich, and they go and they do this whole thing,
and then after I can't remember how long they had him up there, they're
just like, dah, you're not in space. Uh huh. But it
was really well done. I think if you want to make the bus feel
like a plane, you're gonna have to get a little of that tech.
That's what I'm saying. What and and and so oxygen mad They have oxygen
masks, they got they got life vest and in case the bus drives into
a lake. I don't even understand what's going on with that. I did
see your picture though of the bus, or it looks I would know I
was in a bus. I'd be like, dah, that's a bus.
I'm in a bus. But anyway, well, at least he got through
it. So all right, six twenty seven here on the KCODA Radio program.
If my voice holds out the whole time, or if I just pass
out, that'll be fun. It's always on a Friday, too, got
the weekend ahead of you, trying not to burst into flames. But I
guess maybe I'll just lay low. All right. Coming up on the show,
we get a little Anneheuser Busch action. Don't forget our three pete callender
will join us. Excited about that because it was between aliens and all sorts
of chord insanity. We got, we got a lot to get into.
Oh and how Barbie now is going to infiltrate the dating scene because that's obviously
what everyone wants. All that more coming up casey Oda Radio program. Thank
you Casey is on PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk
in the Triangle. All right, six thirty five, welcome back casey Oda
Radio Program. I'll have to get into the Nancy Mason thing too. I
don't know. I mean, I understand because of what it was and where
she was why some people are upset. But she made a little joke and
she happened to be at a prayer breakfast. But I you know, over
the years, I've gone to like, you know, the The Link,
the Reagan Dinner stuff and then other events, and I've been too a couple
of prayer breakfasts. Obviously, I don't usually go to them because you know,
we work in the morning, but I'm into a couple and there's definitively
a slightly different vibe. But I don't know they just kind of rolled into
many of the other events. And maybe it's because at many of the other
events, you know, people may have an invocation and pray before pledge of
allegiance, all that good stuff. But um Philly, we got better stuff
to be upset about on this fine morn. In fact, let me just
go ahead and get into that. I was going to get over to the
Diane Feinstein Hospice stuff. But oh, what a day it was, What
a week it's been. So Nancy May, South Carolina congresswoman, she is
Tim Scott's prayer breakfast. She's she gets up to speak, and you know,
wants to set a more comfortable scene. It's something good speakers will do,
especially in an environment like that, where it's a friendly environment. You
may crack a couple jokes, but you're gonna have something that's more personal than
just you just you reading off cards. But it's a prayer breakfast. And
she said this, but want to thank you for pulling this together. Another
year, another standing room only event. And when I woke up this morning
at seven, I was getting picked up at seven forty five, Patrick,
my fiance tried to pull me by my waist over this morning in bed,
and I was like, no, baby, we don't got time for that
this morning. I gotta get to the prayer breakfast and I got to be
on time and a little too am I. But um, I know he
can wait, he's got we got I'll see him later tonight. But I
was here early today for you, Tim, and I think everybody, everybody
was here early for you. And you can hear it takes a little while
for people to start laughing because I think in their head, going, can
I laugh at that? We're at a prayer breakfast? But I mean,
I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's inappropriate. I mean I would have
laughed complete harlott. Well, look, it's fornication. She's not even married,
right, Well, yes, and if you want to word it,
if you want to word it out like I saw, people were really mad.
Word did Nancy Maze went to a prayer breakfast and then made a joke
about her premarital sex. Well you can't see it because it's audio, but
in the video she's also tworking at the podium. There are some people who
are not going to see the video, and they're now going to go through
life thinking she's actually okay. So I'm being told that was two separate videos
I watched. There was a twerking video that I watched. There isn't there
is, And I'm telling you I was confused. I watched a tworking video
before the Mace video and I combined them in my head because I'm tired.
So I retract my statement. She was not working. But she's still a
harlot. She'll sue, you man. She's who did she sue? She
sued somebody in South Carolina for some stuff. I can't remember who it was.
I just wanted to use the word harlot. No, no, no,
no, you don't really good. It's one of those words you just
there's rarely an occasion. Trollops another one you barely get to use. That's
a good one too. Yeah yeah, yeah. Any day he can work
those in is a good day. So what do you think eight eight,
eight, nine, three four seven eight seventy four Do you think it's because
of the event that it was at. I saw some people going, you
know what, maybe you shouldn't go to any event full of conservatives and talk
about premarital sex. I happen to be in I, you know, in
the other camp where I'm like, everybody knows what's I don't like those events
where everyone's pretending that none of this stuff exists, right, I mean,
listen, I've been in radio twenty five years, right, I was in
radio fifteen years before I got married. Stuff happen, right, right,
Well, I mean it's like she she has a fiance and they live together,
you know what I'm saying. And people are knowledgeable of that because he
did a little campaign stuff too. What do they do? You think that
they're all like, it's the clever household with the two separate beds or maybe
separate rooms. I understand that people have their own personal opinion of that,
and they you know, and they in their head, they may are using
the words that Ross is so so excited to get to use today. But
I guess making a joke about it and it being a prayer breakfast or would
that be inappropriate anywhere? I don't know. In the grand scheme of people
in the political circles talking braggadociously about intimate acts, it is the most vanilla
of them when you consider all of the other stuff out there, especially on
the other side of the aisle. Right now, we need to normalize it.
I saw some guy online and it was like, what was he?
He was one of these guys who was advocating for sex work is real work
and we need to legalize it and that will stop trafficking, which it won't,
but you know, it's real work and it needs to be recognized as
such. And there are a couple groups out there that that is the advocacy
that they choose to pursue, which is fine. You know, I advocate,
and if you're talking about adults and you can convince enough people and the
representatives or the voters I guess or whatever are okay with it, then it
is what it is. We're fifty peachree dishes. It's why you know currently
in Nevada they have the counties where that is a thing. And the world
continues to turn. But then he starts talking about how it would impact other
workers. And I tried to find this video after I watched it the other
day when I was putting prepp together, and I couldn't. They probably took
it down. And then he starts talking about how you know, in most
states there's a certain age where miners can start working. It could be fourteen,
sixteen, whatever, and so we need to respect the fact that if
sex work is real work and it's just another legitimate profession, then we need
to recognize that some miners may choose in I'm like, dude, you just
spent ten minutes and all you wanted to just want to hook up with kids
PERV like this is your roundabout way of accomplishing your your your dream there.
And I would also, and nobody pointed this out in the comments when I
saw it. There are a lot of jobs if you're under eighteen you can't
do. Okay, right, you can, depending on what the work age
is in the state. You can go get a job. You can you
know, at a clerk, at a at a movie theater or at a
restaurant busting tables or whatever. But you're not doing underwater welding. Okay.
Most states have provisions on that. So even if you get your one thing,
I don't think we really have to deal with the other thing. And
and now I realize, like your whole mission with this video service because you
want to you want to get with children, so uh, you know,
hopefully somebody's keeping an eye on you. All right, let me grab a
call here, Joel. What's up, Hey, I just want to say
that. I just want to say that I great Ross. I won't use
the hault word stuff like that, but that's the wrong place, the wrong
time for those comments there. She should have had more class and taste than
that. Do you think a gathering of conservatives that's not a prayer breakfast would
be fine? Yeah, I'm with you on that. I mean it would
have been. I think it would have been not well. I don't really
care to hear it myself, but I think it would have been I don't
want to say appropriate, but it would have been less uh. I guess
you could say tish in her words than it is with our saying at that
event there. I mean, I just I want to be abundantly clear in
my position. I don't care that she said. I just said, I
understand why some people would be bothered, and I'm just wondering if it's they
don't want to hear it ever, or if it was just because it was
a prayer breakfast. I don't care. Well is the prayer breakfast? YEA.
Now I'm picking up what you're putting down there, so I'm with you
all. Bet you just called in to use the word Harlot, sir,
all right, get out of here. Now. We got a bunch of
listeners with the soauruss out this morning. All right, so what do we
got? We got Harlot Trala. What did you go with? Um?
What was your word? Ross? My word was Harlott. Your word was
Harlott. Okay, so we got Harlot tralla Um. Yeah, we might
have to uh get a few others, but in reality, I just I
don't care. Um, nobody, you know, nobody at the nobody at
the breakfast, like got up and left. There was some uncomfortable chuckling,
and then she went on and you know, gave a speech about stuff people
wanted to hear. So whatever, I mean, what a complete heart you
know what I mean? Ah, you're the one with just an an absolute
flousy. I think Flosi gets used quite a bit tart, not too much.
Yeah, what are some of the I'm gonna have to go to the
Urban Dictionary check up the new ones, even though I don't understand them,
and I'll probably inadvertently swear. But hey, you know what, We're here
to experiment for you. Although we will have some learning today. The folks
at the University of Texas have put together a workshop that can be used nationwide
to help teach people about their monosexual privilege. Did you know you had monosexual
privilege? Russ? I was unaware. Now that you're aware, do you
feel you feel bad? Right? I'm not sure what it is so,
but probably not because I'm heartless. So oh oh, okay, all right,
well fair enough, alrighty uh we uh the man with no conscience and
myself will return right after this. Hang on one oh six one FM Talk
and ninety four five WPTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This
is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, here we go.
It is six fifty two on the case O Day Radio program. Uh,
I sound like crap because I feel like crap. So but it's Friday,
so it only gets to ruin my entire weekend. But we'll truck through
as we do. So we were we were talking and asking if you had
an opinion on the Nancy Mace thing. Yesterday congresswoman in South Carolina had a
prayer breakfast. Tim Scott was putting on, made a little little joke about
her and her fiance's alone time, and of course the way that people look
at it in some cases is she went to a prayer breakfast and then made
a joke about premarital sex. I guess, I mean, you know,
I don't know that it was super inflammatory. I'm just curious because I don't
really care anything. We're room full of politicians are saying stuff. I just
unless it affects me, I'm just not going to get in a twist over
it. But then we started coming up with old timey words for loose women
because Ross wanted to use the word harlett because he never gets to use it.
One of the listeners had another good one, strumpet, and let's see
Jezebel. I got Jezebel emailed, I got several. It's not about being
slang necessarily, it's about being old timey sling. That's the theme here.
So understand the assignment when we were putting those together, right, No more
poppy cock, no more belly who Although Joe Biden uses some of those words,
man, what's the what's the what is the one? I'm thinking,
Yeah, he used those words back when they were actually popular, like malarkey
malarch, but he's still uses it. Who else in your life uses malarkey?
Un ironically, there's no one. So the only time I ever hear
it is when somebody is trying to be funny, right, and it's meant
sarcastically. So uh, any who let me get over to this? University
of Texas has put together yet another social justice workshop. I guess they're kind
of running out, so they got to get a little more creative. This
one, which will be available to other universities and I guess anyone who wants
it, is a new course to help students learn to check their monosexual privilege,
which is something I didn't know about until I read the story this morning.
So monosexual privilege is defined as a system of unearned advantages afforded to straight
people at the expense of people with buy pan and you know, fluid sexual
ideas, all right, So that's the gist of it. Basically, you
have privilege because your relationship is more the norm, and I guess you have
greater advantage in achieving what you're doing, although arguably wouldn't bisexual have the better
advantage because they can pull from both teams. Of course, you got to
get you know, other people that are into that, but you start with
a much larger sample size is the point I'm making, like everywhere you go,
everything's maybe whereas you know, me, single straight guy, I got
to sit there and you know it's just one camp that may catch the eyes.
So but whatever, it's another way you can make ten thousand dollars going
and speaking about stuff. By the way, did you see yesterday they somebody
had to report out on bud Light bud Light three sixty five woman Dilli Mulvainey,
And on the very same day that about three hundred and fifty bud Light
or Anheuser Bush employees were terminated, representing I think about what two percent of
their work force in the US. Dilli Mulvaaney's publicist updated his pay for going
and speak. Apparently he's getting a bunch of speaking engagements and he was only
charging twenty six thousand dollars and now he's charging forty and people are paying it
to have Dilli mulvainy come to it looks like a lot of universities and talk.
Forty thousand dollars for a for a one hour speech. That's crazy,
but you know what, they're pricing that because he's probably filling up at the
twenty six and three hundred and fifty people are out of a job. So,
um, what a world we live in, man, what a world.
But when it comes to monosexual privilege, it's important that you recognize it
so you can check it. I don't know how you're supposed to check it
though, what you just stop? You just become asexual? Or so?
I don't how do you? How do you not operate in the normal fashion.
The document list a total of forty four supposed privileges, including I can
choose to be in a polyamorous relationship without being accused of reinforcing stereotypes. So
hold on, So if somebody who is gay or bisexual is in a polyamorous
relationship, and then somebody who is straight is in a polyamorous relationship, like
let's you know, let's go to like the you know, the the guy
out in Utah with several wives. Do you think society sees the second one
is normal and the first one not? Or do you think that in both
instances the majority of people go that's different because I kind of feel like it's
that right there. Ross if some straight friend of yours came up and he's
like, yeah, I've got I got three wives now, would you be
like, oh, okay, well that's totally normal, or in your head
you're like, um, that's different. Yeah yeah yeah, so uh,
you know, I could take this thing apart, but you get the gist.
But it costs costs a little money, and that's, frankly, what
this stuff is about. All right, two more hours to go. Case
O Day Radio Program, Hang on, all right, good morning everybody.
If he is our number two, seven h seven Friday GCOD Radio program,
Glad to have you along. We're just trucking through. We got a bunch
of stories to bang into. And then coming up at eight oh five,
Pete Calendar will join us and I have I don't know you bowler or something.
So it was dumb. I know how it happened, and it's my
own fault. Like the girl cleans for me on Thursdays couldn't make it.
She sent her mom. They you know, they live together, they both
clean, and I'm like, yeah, that's cool. And then because she
couldn't make it because she was sick, Mom was in my house and I
heard her cough a couple of times. Now I'm sick, so that's great.
Oh but we'll get through it. It's Friday. I gotta tell you,
though it was like Tuesday or Wednesday, I would not be here and
you just would just be ross talking about Olive Garden for three hours, which
I don't know. Maybe that makes some of you happy. But I did
get an email in the Nancy Mace thing, and I think this is a
this is a good way. I think there's a good perspective to have on
it. It's not it's less about just Nancy Mace and more about respecting the
house you're in. Our daughter lives with her fiance. She's lived with him
for three years. They've only been engaged about eight months. However, every
time they come to visit for the holidays, they are not allowed to stay
in the same room because that is our house rules. Respect it. We
understand that they live together. We're not stupid. But our house are rules.
That's the way that it should be. And if somebody's holding a prayer
breakfast, likely their rules are one that dictates a little more, says patience.
But I don't know what you meant, man, but patience to a
biblical worldview, that's fair. I can go along with that. Again,
that you know, it's not me passing judgment on whether I thought the joke
was too much. I didn't think it was. But the setting matters,
and you're right, that's for the all practical purposes, that's Tim Scott's house,
and that's the lord's house that day because it's essentially if you've been on
the prayer breakfast, it's definitely religion focused. So little dash of politics in
there obviously, But thank you for the email. EDNA appreciate that. All
right, seven or nine on this beautiful morning, and we've recognized our monosexual
privilege because the University of Texas as we should. So I guess you'll have
to come to terms with that throughout the day. The news yesterday on Sam
Bankman freed the crypto bro dude basically laundering money his campaign contributions I believe placed
him what second during the last election cycle. And it turns out a lot
of that money was money that was Pilford away from his crypto company into this
secondary company that was run by his sometimes girlfriend and then spent on Bahamian properties
political stuff. I saw people defending it going well, he gave to both
and the end that's true. He did. However, the ones we know
about he gave to a handful of Republicans, all who were on a key
committee, when the committee that regulates or is discussing regulating cryptocurrencies. So you
know, that's probably a committee where you want to grease a bunch of poems.
And that's the system. So don't worry. I find it just as
repugnant. That being said, he was the second largest on paper donor to
the Democratic political Democratic Party during the last political cycle. And I saw some
going. I saw some people going, well, what you know, what
the deal is is he when he donated to Republicans, he just didn't say
and so it was dark it was actual dark money. And he, you
know, could he said that he donated the same I don't believe that for
a minute. And then he intimated that he just didn't disclose it because he
didn't want people getting mad at him, because donate to a Republican they'll they'll
run, they'll run your business into the ground if they get to get a
wild hair man. But I don't believe that, And why did this come
up? So yesterday the Department of Justice has dropped one of the charges,
not all of them. I saw some people saying that he's still facing decades
and decades for a variety of things. But the charge that they dropped is
the interesting one. It was the campaign finance charge. Basically, he's not
following the protocol in rules for political donations. In some cases it looked like
it may have been funneled under other people to get by the limit. That
obviously is a problem. These are, by the way, the smallest version
of the violation of that law is what denishd Suza went to prison for.
I think we were talking about five thousand dollars with him. Normally they at
that level, they don't send people to jail. They did. I'll let
you judge why this goes back to the double standard. However, this is
in the millions and they remove the charge and people are looking at that going
isn't that a shocker? Now there's not going to be a discovery process around
this, like nobody. The argument is Democrats and probably some Republicans don't want
a court case digging into these donations, and obviously so they carve it out.
Now the excuse that the DOJ used and they're being disingenuous here, and
I'll explain why they said that they had to drop the charge because the officials
in the Bahamas objected to them charging him with a charge that was not listed
in the extradition request, which is not unusual. Generally when it comes to
extradition requests, the entity who's doing the extraditing, the country that has the
agreement with the country where the suspect is has to disclose where they're going to
charge it. It's like in Mexico, if somebody can get to Mexico as
part of an extradition agreement, Mexico will not extradite if somebody is facing the
death penalty. Ironically, just standing around some cities in New Mexico or in
Mexico is facing the death penalty, but I digress, so they won't bring
him back. This is an issue we ran into with the guy who was
accused of killing the Wait County sheriff's deputy. He got to Mexico. Mexico
said, will extradite, but you can only do it if you promise not
to seek the death penalty, which we have a quasi moratorium anyway. So
but in this case they didn't list this, and so the Bahamas said,
no, you listed all the other stuff, you didn't list this. We
can't have it. And the reason they want that is because as part of
the agreement, it's built on trust. You know, if you have an
extradition agreement and you lie and then you bring somebody back and then you charge
him with the bunch of other stuff, the other country feels as though it's
not an honest agreement. Make of that what you will. But acting like
they had no choice, the choice was made. It was just made earlier.
It wasn't made yesterday when they dropped it. It was made at the
time they put the extradition request. The Bahamas has nothing, They have nothing
in their law that would prohibit extraditing and charging somebody with campaign finance violations.
They just want to see it on the sheet of paper. So if you're
doing the extradition, and they did that pretty quick, and you want to
make that part go away a little later, the sneaky thing to do is
not included, and then later go, oh, well, we wanted to
charge them with it, but we can't. Our hands are tied. See,
it wasn't on the sheet. And our agreement with the Bahamas, like
many extradition agreements, says that we will list all the charges except in some
circumstances where we may have to amend it with their agreement, and so you
just don't include that, kick it later and go my hands are tied.
That's the part. That's the part I think people are missing here. That's
my opinion what happened here, because there's a lot of people up in DC
who don't want a court case and discovery and testimony drilling into that for obvious
reasons. Now again he continues to be charged with was it seven other violations,
facing literally decades in prison, but not the one where we could start
seeing some names of some of the very lawmakers who hung out with this dude
and took fat stacks of cash around election time. All right, that seven
sixteen case O Day Radio program. I know at some point you go around,
you'll be talking to people today and somebody will bring up global warming.
You may roll your eyes, whatever, you may engage, you may not
engage, but I want you to know you can correct them. I'll explain
what's up with that coming up on the case O Day Radio program, Your
Day Smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk five w PTI more
with Casey starts Now it's my go to you gotta be on the air and
you sound like this. You get the today quill um, the Walmart brand
apron here that I have, and then a hot potty. You're good to
go. You ever rock the hot toddies when you're when you're losing your voice
on the air. Never you know what a hot toddy is, right kind
of maybe? So it's got the lemon, uh t I got a black
t here, uh, honey, bourbon uh and cinnamon. So well,
it definitely would not work out for me. Well, you don't have to
have that in there. Um, this one, it does not have bourbon
in it. Actually, um seven twenty three's usually that's a that's a little
early even for me. But yeah, later in the day he might a
little slip that in there. But no, it's it's it's great even without
that, the honey in the lemon, the rock on man. So hopefully
that'll carry us through to the promised land of nine o'clock. All right,
uh eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, I'm not gonna
go down that road. I was gonna point something else out on the Nancy.
Well, you know what, screw it. I don't feel well,
so um, I'm gonna do it. It's my day. I did notice,
and you know, it comes down to the algorithm. I'm sure.
As I was scrolling around on Twitter yesterday looking at people who are reps over
the Nancy Mace thing, you know, it ran the gamut what's his bucket?
From Daily Wires, um Um did the what is a Woman? Video?
I don't know, you know the guy I'm talking about, he was
not pleased others, But it was a lot of women, a lot of
like the you know, Ashley Saint Clair and some of the you know,
the ones that have mid range following on there. And I have a theory
as to why that was. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm not. If
if if if a woman wants to call in and tell me I'm an idiot,
more power to you, Maybe I am. I think that some of
that was driven or at least the momentum was partially because Nancy Mace is easy
on the eyes. Do you think that there's any any truth to that that
maybe that might have driven in some of these women to comment, because there's
it's always this kind of subconscious thing that you wonder if it's playing a playing
a part in that. But if she looked like Lizzo. Do you think
everyone would be as mad? It is my question, especially a lot of
the female pundits. I'm just asking. It's a theory again, maybe it's
off base. I don't know. You tell me. I'm not even gonna
drag poor Ross into it, but I'm dragging you into it. I think
that that that did. Uh. I think that brought about some of the
ire, even if it was subconscious, because um, yeah, like competition
stuff. Don't don't hey, don't blame me for having in my head either.
You know, I've been told, like many women, I don't.
We don't do We don't spend this much time getting dressed like this for you.
This is for other women in that sense, which is fine whatever,
as long as it look. If you go out and you feel good,
then you know you're going to be in a good mood and it's more pleasant
to hang out with somebody like that. So no judgment there. But yeah,
I kind of wonder about that, mostly because I'm right, all right,
let's get into this here. So the head of the UN, in
a speech yesterday, decided that this global warming thing ain't getting it done.
Man, you're not paying attention some of the new video Oh my gosh,
the videos of the stop oil people and the truck drivers. Those are getting
crazier and crazier by the day. That might have something to do with people
checking out on this. So the UN chief decides we need to do something
to really ramp it up. So he makes this announcement because I guess he's
President of the world or something, and you're gonna care. But here it
is, and for scientists it is unequivocal. Humans are to blame. All
this is entirely consistent with actions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the
speed of the change. Climate change is here. It is terrifying, and
it is just the beginning. The eata of global warming has ended the idea.
The heat of global boiling has arrived, all right, So there it
is is unbreathable, the hit is unbearable, and the level of fossil full
profits and climate inection is unacceptable. Okay, So global boiling we're going with.
So global warming is unfortunately out. Global boiling is what you need to
go with, so you can really ramp up the panic. Didn't they didn't
They try to do this like a year ago with what was a climate emergency,
right, remember when that was kind of the go to phrase climate emergency
climate the White House, excuse me, Members of Congress, maybe I should
put some bourbon in this, um, Members of Congress, And uh,
you know, all the news people are like, it's a climate emergency climate
because they understand the controlling the language. Man very important that at least that
doesn't sound as stupid as climate boiling, go, climate melting or something.
I don't know, man, climate boiling. But hey, he's he's the
head of the UN and you're not. So thank you, Antonio Gutierrez for
your keen insight. We'll be back keeping you connected. This is ninety four
five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
Welcome back, Happy Friday. Eight is seven thirty five here on the
Cacoda Radio program. Oh thank god, it's halfway. I've been um.
I woke up this morning, I'm like, I'm right on the edge whether
I should do the show. I'm gonna do it, it's Friday, whatever,
And then like every ten minutes I just felt worse and worse and worse.
So that's awesome, But by then it's like God, it's too late.
We'll just do it so coming up on the show safely, you know,
from a distance, so we don't get him sick. Pete Calendar will
join us. Eight oh five got all sorts of insanity to get into locally,
nationally, internationally, we got aliens, all sorts of craziness. Man,
and this happened in Holly Springs. So, um, but I so
I didn't get into this story yesterday, and I was kicking myself when we
got done with the show, so let me let me get into this.
So some dude got arrested at the sheet station in Holly Springs and I was
normally I was going to look at it, not a story we do.
And then I saw a weapon of mass destruction as one of the keywords,
and I'm like, well, we're gonna be clicking that, so click away,
and um, this is crazy and then I and then I realized where
that where? That sheets. I've been to that sheets, and I thankful
edn't run into a dude like this. But still, I know some of
you probably go through the sheets, and people like news from places they go,
so so they get a call to go over to the sheets, and
um, there to reload the story. Hang on, just browsers, even
my browsers sick this morning and now it's loading it twice. Thank you all
right? Uh fifty year old man by the name of Norman Bray was was
arrested. Here's the story, Uh Norman bray Was the way they wrote this
is weird. Okay, here we go. Holly Police. Holly Springs Police
on Wednesday arrested Bray for having an improvised explosive in his car outside a sheets
gas station, the one on a Van Ferry Road. Officers were conducting a
business check at the store around five pm when they noticed Bray acting suspiciously.
Why are they doing it? Is that a normal thing for Holly Springs PD?
Or is that store had some issues? Or I'm just talent gossip over
here. Maybe that's normal and maybe if I check, they mean getting some
coffee because you know, nothing's really happening, which is fine? Is there
breaks? Two? Police say that they saw him acting suspiciously. They located
his ninety nine too out of four runner in the parking lot. During the
investigation, officers found controlled substances, hazardous materials, and an improvised explosive device.
They arrested him and actually evacuated the store. Prosecute has asked the judge
to increase his bond during a court hearing Wednesday, asking the judge to increase
it to based on the seriousness of the situation. They wanted two hundred thousand.
I think the judge gave a one hundred and twenty thousand. He charged
with the possession of a weapon of mass destruction, possession of meth and phetamine,
manufacturer of meth, possession with intend to distribute, and possession of drug
fair or finalia. All right, so it sounds like dude's a drug dealer,
drug manufacturer's Walter White. What's the improvised explosive device? Well, they
have a lawyer in this article here saying that the weapons of mass destruction charge
is a broad term and even something like a sawed off shotgun, So an
under legal barrel length shotgun can be considered a weapon of mass destruction. I
did not know that. So in this case, police believe Bray had in
a homemade explosive device, but they don't get into specifics, so like a
pipe bomb or something bully crap I would have gone to jail. I told
you, man, we'd make little pipe bombs in welding shop and go blow
up the gravel pile out on the agg parking lot. Now we'd all be
in Gitmo, ah, the good old days. The only thing we've got
in trouble for was using all the ascettline and mister Miller got really upset.
But we had fun and that's what counts. And we learned a weld So
there you go. So, is that is that normal for if you're a
drug dealer running around with that? Like? Is there a situation we might
have to throw a pipe bomb in the rival's car or what could I'd be
nervous just puts around town with that thing. Man, get you getting a
small fender bender and something goes wrong and you didn't do it right. You're
not selling meth anymore allegedly, So so I guess what I'm asking is there,
like, is they're doing like business checks and uh miss your alleged meth
dealers hanging out over there with his bombs and stuff. Is like I've stopped
at that sheets didn't I didn't get the impression it was dicey for those who
lived down there. And is there's something I need to know over. You
know, I don't want to be hanging around pipe bombs and stuff. So
eight eight eight ninety three four seven eight seven four let me get a Holly
Springs or somebody who commutes through their little spy report, because I don't know
sheets sheets looks like a sheets man trying to think if there's any sheets that
I found, particularly sketching. Not really, I don't know that I've ever
been stopped at one where I'm like, I don't know about this. The
ones that I stopped at most well, obviously the Ralegh ones, but and
then in greensbro we got one south to the studio, and then Yadkinville when
I'm going up to the mountains because it's easy to stop and shop, and
they got an ABC on the south side of the freeway, and then you
go the sheets on the north side. But no, I never get a
sketch five there. So maybe somebody knows something I don't. All right,
seven forty two and uh we uh, like I said, we're not according
to the UN, We're not doing uh global warming or climate change or any
of that. We're doing climate boiling now. So we are ramping up the
scare factor and to aid in that race Ageck there, let's see if he
wants to join in the un party here. Oh not yet. Oh,
I thought I had the perfect timing, perfect ramp lead into the story coming
off, you know, the big sheets bomb story. I got a friend
who doesn't He said he didn't like sheets. He doesn't go to sheets.
He he says, it's there's too much. He's gonna hate BUCkies if they
get that thing built over. Boy, even, what do you mean?
Don't even everybody should go to what BUCkies once in their life on much like
you're you're that guy too, huh, I am, it's just too much.
I mean everything under the sun. You could possibly imagine what like hundreds
of gas pumps too. Try. Yeah, you can try to get in
there, and it's just no, I'm good, I'm good. Okay,
it's busy. But their jerky game is on point. They're in there.
Oh yeah, they got own and they got a just a bunch of stuff,
and they do they do some of the dry jerky. I don't know
what it is like out west, most of the jerkys were the really dry
stuff. And out here there's a company called ACS. But you can only
get in like the Triad area and then just you know, in some surrounding
areas. I grabbed tons of that stuff. When I was over in Greensboro
last month, I grabbed a giant box of it. I've cleaned this poor
lady out at the gas station. She's looking at me like a crazy I'm
like, it's different than the stuff that's all moist, and I want the
dry stuff. So um AnyWho, Yeah, yeah, just can't win in
US. Used to restroom happens, kids and my wife love it. I
was like, nah, good, I'll take the zero. I'll see you
out in the car. Where did you got You have one down in Atlanta?
Yeah, just north north As. You had a near past lake out
twun seventy five heading toward Tennessee. Yeah, first when in North Carolina if
had happened, so okay, yeah, about forty minutes. So yeah,
they even took a day trip when it first opened. I was like,
nope, I'm good, I'll go into pool. Speaking of okay, so
heat Advisor now Triangle, Um not for the try it, but you know,
I mean usually the difference is only a degree or two. Some days
it's even the same, and some days it's even hotter to the try it
as as a triangle, but traditionally, like yesterday's ninety seven triangle and now
the triad it was ninety four, there is usually a little bit of a
difference. So I think that's why no heat advisor. Now take a listen
to where and when the heat was record heat for the tryad one oh four
in nineteen fourteen, so it's been a whole heck of a lot hotter here
a long time ago. And the triangle the record for the date is one
oh four nineteen fifty two. So we'll have heat, hazy sunshine, maybe
a shower thundershower this afternoon, and still the mid nupper nineties, some spots
over one oh five of the heat indecks where the heat advisory is but not
record warmth. I think we go mid nineties for Saturday, probably a little
bit nineties Sunday a little bit better chance. We get some showers thunder showers,
and then early next week we got a pretty decent tree coming in case
ninety Monday, and then back of the eighties Tuesday Wednesday. I think the
first couple of days of August are actually going to feel real nice. All
right, We'll hold you to it and then check your work here in an
hour. Appreciate it, sir, Thank you very much. I saw I
watched a video one time. I put this story in the stack, and
Ross probably thinks I'm was like, why is that in there? But there
is a video and it's kind of a known thing, and it was I
think the title it was on YouTube. It was a documentary and I don't
word originated from, but it was pretty interesting. It was like the title
was something like how degenerates saved Hollywood, which I thought was interesting because Hollywood
is to generates in many cases. But what they were talking about is the
adaption at a much quicker pace than initially anticipated of VHS technology, and how
one of the reasons that that scooted along as quickly as it did and people
got more comfortable with having a home movie options rather than go into the cinema
was because almost immediately when the technology hit people who wanted adult films, they
had a rabid demand because they didn't want to go sit in a theater with
a bunch of other creepy people surrounding them. Well, you know, I
guess that makes sense. So they embraced the technology more and more people and
then obviously people who would buy a VC for that. We're behind some of
the movies and it literally it established the growth and it also helped change the
technology faster. It was. It was quite fascinating. So I see this
story here and I'm gonna be very delicate, but it's the same thing.
And what they're talking about is thought control devices, right. This is with
what is Elon's neuralink. Right, So he's got the neural link, and
I want to get into why the adult industry is really after this stuff.
And ironically, even if you find that, you know, weird, and
some of the stuff in the story that I'm not even gonna be able to
read is extremely weird, it also advances the tech because they have to be
able. The problem with it now and what their work out, Well,
let me do this. Let's hit our break and we'll come back and I'll
explain what has been some of the stumbling blocks with the thought control device,
but also virtual reality things like that. We'll get into it coming up here
on the k c O Day radio program. After the show's on the iHeartRadio
app. Searchs k c O D four the podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
All right, I'm gonna I will pick this DC. I promise I'm not
gonna get into the details of what it is they're working on, but it
it is interesting and it reminded me again of this documentary A watch where they
were talking about the evolution of home video and why a lot of the technology
and adopting of it was literally driven by people one in dirty Movies and like
they have, I don't have. It's been a while, so I don't
have the numbers. But when you see the numbers they're presenting of really the
types of tapes that were sold initially, and some of them some of the
function changes from original VCRs because you know, people want to back it up
a little, do a little fast forwarding in a couple of different ways,
so they added new features there. You realize a lot of it was driven
by that consumer demand, albeit maybe for something they didn't expect, kind of
like the only Fans guy who thought he was putting together a place where chefs
could share recipes, and it went in a different direction, but on a
much greater scale. So now people who build some of the items that you
can purchase at the adult store are working on thought controlled adult items, and
it is a process and a science that is not obviously limited to this.
There's lots of different companies working on this, whether it's thought controlled electronics,
thought controlled games, you name it. This is a big thing that they
want to crack because they realize it can enhance the our experience. There's a
lot of benefit there. However, now that the adult industry has got a
hold of this, they're throwing real money, man, and they have to
be more refined. One of the things the tech lacks right now, not
just on the adult side but in any case is and this is what Elon
Musk would Neurolink and others are working on, is intricacy. I guess it'd
be the best way to describe it, like you can get it to do
kind of what you want things to do, but there's not a real finite
thing. And if you're selling this kind of stuff like these guys are,
the users want it because of what it is and what it does, it
has to vibe with what that person is thinking specifically as part of what they're
doing. You get what I'm driving at here, So being able to refine
the ability to read mentally what it is you're asking the device to do,
whether it is a device for adults or a device for kids, you know,
like a some sort of learning iPad thing or something in schools. It
might be interactive. It's got to be more and more refined, and as
the technology gets better, it will be. But right now it's still somewhat
rudimentary. But I've found this rather interesting, this interview they did with the
guy, because he's all in, because he realizes kind of the holy grail
for his industry to get that, but also get that to really really read
what people have in their mind, because everybody's different when it comes to that.
And the more specific it can be based on what you're wanting, I
guess, the better it will be, is what I get from the article.
But found that interesting and saw a little bit of comparison going way back
there to the land of VHS and beta and everything else. Man, all
right, let me grab this real quick. Yeah, I got time.
Pete Calendar is going to join us here in just a few minutes. By
the way, we'll do that at eight oh five. So this is NBC,
because of course it is. So how could the Barbie movie get more
annoying? Even if you don't want to watch it. Here's how women around
the world are taking their boyfriends to see Barbie in hopes of answering one fundamental
question, is he enough? So this is what it is. It's the
Barbie test. Some women put this online. It went viral and women are
like, this is genius, and then they're filming themselves doing this or the
aftermath. So basically, you take your guy, could be a new guy,
you're just going on a first date with your boyfriend, whatever, You
take him to see Barbie, and then after Barbie you ask him a series
of specific questions. What they're hoping to gauge is whether their male dates can
understand or at least are receptive to the feminist messaging, Which is ironic because
many of the people that are really doing the videos, uh, you know,
jumping all over this movie are very aware of the feminist messaging. But
I think they mean from a positive standpoint. So instead of just being able
to go to a movie on a date and enjoy yourself and then talk about
things you have in common or whatever, or going with your you know,
your your state, your girlfriend, boyfriend already in a relationship situation, just
having a you know, a couple hours to enjoy yourself doing what you do
in a relationship or even in a date, like maybe that's not your your
kind of movie, but you do it because the other person wants to go
and and you try to make the best of it, have a good job.
But instead, no, they want an inquisition after and they want women
to use it as a determination whether they should in fact keep dating him if
he can't figure out the positive feminist messaging in there. I'm not going to
get into all the questions because it's um and frankly, I would use this
as a litmus test to know that I would not go on another date with
you if you wanted to start feminist grilling me after me I thought we just
went to a movie or something. All Right, we'll be back he calendars
next week. All right, you're morning everybody. It is eight o seven
here on the case O Day Radio program. Glad to have you along,
even if I feel like crap, but to make my job easier as I
phone it in for a little while, we welcome to the show. Our
radio buddy to the South, The mid Day's new to three WBT on the
iHeart radio app. You want to catch it. Pete calendar with us.
How you doing, sir? I'm doing all right? How are you?
I mean, I'm sick. And it's because they didn't expand Medicaid. I
think they did just I'd be fine. Or or because my cleaning lady said
she was sick wanted to send a replacement and I didn't remember her replacement Lise
with her. So I think that's what's up because she was confident stuff.
But I'm gonna go with the Medicaid thing because they you know, the governor
is h he's very tore up about this, you know him. You saw
his tweet where he's just like, oh, here's what we gotta do.
We gotta separate it from the budget. And I get I get Reagan tip
O'Neill vibes, right, or they're like he's like, yeah, no,
no, no, no, we'll do the amnesty and then after that we'll
totally secure the border. It'll be fine. Yeah yeah, I mean,
you know he'll pay you tomorrow for the cheeseburger today, obviously, and look,
yeah, well obviously he has wanted these two. He wants the budget
and the Medicaid deal separated. He's wanted that from the beginning. But he
kind of felt like he had to go along with it in order to get
some win for his two terms. Right, so Republicans obliged him. And
I remember getting into arguments with some conservatives on the Twitter machine or I guess
it's the is it the X machine? Now? Like anyway the keep Yeah
I am too, Yeah, I am too. It's a terrible, terrible
rebrand um. But they were trying to make this argument that, oh,
well, he's going to have to sign the budget now you see, well,
I mean he doesn't have to. He can still veto it and then
you can override it. That's one way to do it. Yeah, but
then he won't be able to claim that he, you know, got Medicaid
expansion. And you're thinking, really, right exactly, we'll just interview about
the business in North Carolina a few weeks ago, right exactly. He's claiming
credit for whatever he wants to know. The media is not going to care.
They're not going to fact check him on that. So why do you
think he wouldn't claim credit for something that he vo The guy veto teacher pay
raises every single budget and he still is like, I'm the biggest defender of
teachers so you know he's gonna yeah, so he's always wanted these two things
separated, so it gives him a cleaner bill. But for a guy,
I mean, it's not surprising that he's you know, blaming everything on medicaid
expansion not happening soon. This is the guy who said medicaid expansion would like
solve well basically every single problem that has come down the pike and his seven
years in office, every single problem can be solved with medicaid expansion. It
seems it's it is the panacea for all rules of North Carolina. And I
continue to I guess maybe because I I don't get sweet hospital lobbyists calls and
dinners and stuff, but I continue to be of the opinion when we're talking
about childless, able bodied adults, there has to be a higher standard there
than just oh, it's free money. It's actually our money, and then
we send it and then we don't get it back and you're wasting all of
our money, and oh no, it'll always be free. There's just there's
there's so much wrong with the argument, and ironically, all of these years
trying to beat it in while they have suggested other ills that it may solve
and r L had a few doozies this week. I just tend to ignore
him now I used to call them out. It hasn't changed, right,
They didn't even attempt to negotiate the boundaries of it with the knowledge that we've
seen from states like Ohio right where they said, oh, it's going to
be free, everything's fine, and then Ohio immediately figured out, no,
there's there's there's places here where we're having to fortify it with money to make
it work correctly. And that number continues to grow, like they agreed to
this for whatever whatever a bargain was thrown to them, and they haven't even
tweaked the parameters from what the governor initially was asked and for I don't get
any of it, Pete, I fail to get it. I think they
want the issue gone. I think that's what it comes down to. They're
tired of being hammered by Democrats and the media. But I repeat myself on
the healthcare issue because Democrats and this happened, well, they learned this,
I guess. In I think it was twenty twenty that they came to this
conclusion that they can win with healthcare messaging and so that's what they have been
using. And it may have been actually earlier than that, it may have
been twenty sixteen. So they just keep hammering a way at healthcare. And
that's why, by the way they talk about you know, abortion as reproductive
healthcare. There's a reason they say that. There's a reason they frame it
as quote healthcare, even though it takes a life. Right. It's the
point is that they know that they're polling is very good. It's better than
Republicans on quote healthcare issues. They are seen as better for healthcare, and
so I think Republicans just want it off the table. And if they could
get some concessions on the certificate of need reforms quote unquote, then they can
tout those as saying, look, we got some you know, certificate of
need reforms, as if they haven't been in control of the legislature for a
decade, and as if the certificate of need is anything other than you know,
rigging the marketplace to protect monopolistic powers, and that should be something Republicans
opposed in principle. And they have never been able to make these reforms.
But now they're going to you know, pull the old Indiana Jones sort of
switch aroo kind of deal. Give you the medicaid expansion, get that off
the table. Oh, but a couple of con reforms, and look at
us, we're conservatives. And then what they the media and the Democrats go
home. They're like, no, everything's good. Now we're friends again.
We are yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. One of the things
that irritates me, But from a more practical sense, it it's another step
further into the depth of we're growing further apart and nobody is ever going to
get along. So if you if there are dividing opinions on how we should
handle something and adults aren't saying this is what I think, and another adult
says that they can have a discussion about it so long as there is not
animosity at the start. And one of the thing, one of the things
that I cringe is when I see people use like demon crats on one side,
or when they would call Trump what was a Cheetolini? Right, because
you just the discussion is going nowhere except every time Biden says Republicans, he
says, Maga Republicans are extreme, Maga Republicans dam near and the governor in
about a third of his tweets throws that word extreme in there, and he's
but he's trying to sell it to North Carolinians, some of which are Republicans
who may be inclined to agree with him on the medicaid issue. There is
some cross polling for people, especially based on their situations. But then you
throw that in there, and it's like, why are you doing it?
Is? And what is what is? What is his next step? Where
does he go after office? So I think there's so I think you're giving
him too much credit. Um, he's not actually trying to talk to Republicans.
That's why he uses those words. Um, he is trying to raise
money from his base. That's it. All of those tweets, all those
messages, those are only designed for one purpose, and it is to generate
interaction on social media to direct people to Act Blue. The website the funnel
right where all the money flows to the Democrat officials and campaigns, and so
that's all that's about, right, It's just it's just a fundraising tool.
And you know it by the word the inclusion of those words of MAGA extremism
and all of that. So that's why they put those words in there.
It's it's just a fundraising tool. That's for what's next. I'm not I'm
not sure. I think maybe he looks at a Senate run um if he
wants to continue to be an elected official. But I'm not. I don't
know. I mean, they don't. They don't keep me in the loop
on his plans for some reason. Yeah, I've seen. There's been some
articles and I'm sure you've seen him, whether where they were saying that perhaps
he would make a good Democrat vice president everything from trade camal out, get
camal out and get him in, or if Gavin Newsom runs and is to
the point where he has to select a VP candidate, then maybe, although
probably not because two white guys, the identity politics doesn't work. So I
don't know. But he fundraises a lot because I'm on the list. I'm
on the mailing list for all of them, because I want to see what
they're saying. So right, well, and you would think that for a
guy like my good friend ray that Cooper, you would think that he would
be acutely interested. Along with Josh Stein, there would be governor the attorney
general right now who is like these Both of them made their aged careers around
this focus on customer and and citizen protections right, especially during hurricanes and stuff.
Make sure no one's charging you too much for gas and chainsaws. So
for somebody, for both of them, who have spent so much time and
attention on protecting the people, I'm kind of shocked that they haven't looked to
protect their own donors, right, their own donors who have made small dollar
donations to Act Blue, and apparently Act Blue is funneling all sorts of donations
through these people's names in their accounts. These people have not made donations in
the tens of thousands of dollars. There are five, ten, twenty five
dollars donors, and they sure as heck fire haven't made you know, a
hundred or a thousand different donations. They may have done, you know,
five or ten at the most, and you would think that from a consumer
customer protection standpoint, that Spine and Cooper would be interested to track that down.
But for some reason, I don't know why, there they don't seem
very interested. They're busy. They're very busy doing a wide variety of other
things, like posting pictures of them with a slightly unbuttoned shirt that doesn't right
out of the package, there'shing a kid on a slide or something. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, and not defending state law and court. Yeah.
Very busy, very busy man, very busy. Which I guess that's the
new standard. Right. So if although when's the I'm trying to when was
the last time there was a Republican age in North Carolina. I don't believe
there ever has been one? Well, there you go. So, but
if the scenario presents, I mean, obviously you know what the reaction would
be. But let me go back to the healthcare thing. We have to
talk about something, and that's something is the hospice they're running up in the
district of Columbia. It seems like it's a very well run service. I
mean a lot of people look like they're trying to get into it, willing
to pay all sorts of one like millions of dollars to get into the facility.
Yeah, yeah, but I want to talk about the medical aspect of
it. Joe Fetterman, Joe Biden. Yesterday, of course, we had
somebody who has been in the Senate the longest who failed to recognize standard procedure
and everyone's like, oh, she just thought it was something else, she's
been there since. What's remember that dude who beat the other dude with a
cane. I'm pretty sure she dumps that right, Yeah, yeah, she
probably watched that, so don't give me that crap. And then of course
Mitch McConnell freezing the other day, and then a couple hours later coming out
and making a sandbag joke but not answering if you went to a doctor.
A lot of people are saying, well, what we need or term limits
or we need age limits, and then of course any time it's a Democrat,
they throw in the Supreme Court, not realizing that if you put an
age limit on it, then people nominating might be inclined to go as young
as possible, maybe not the most qualified, but I address So, what
are your thoughts on all of this? Is that something that maybe is needed
in one place not the other or I don't know. Well, I think
first off, what we what we are asking for is self awareness in some
of these elected officials. And I understand it. You know, I get
it. You get older and you don't want to admit that you're you've lost
a step, or you know you're not as you once were. Nobody likes
admitting that nobody likes acknowledging that until finally, like the proof kind of hits
you in the face. And I think, you know, with McConnell,
like, I got a call yesterday from a retired doctor and he was like,
that's probably He called it something like an absent seizure, which is probably
related to the fall that he took. He got a concussion or something a
couple of months ago, and so there could be probably some blood. He
needs to go in for a CT scan, he said, immediately, and
that that should happen. And maybe that's why McConnell's not talking about it.
So the first thing is, you know, go go get some medical attention.
You know, you're making jokes about it, but you know you should
take your health seriously. But on the other hand, I think that you
know, what we would like to see is for people to say, you
know what, it's time for me to retire. But then how do you
look at a guy like Chuck Grantley, who's I think what he's like ninety
nine or something, and uh, and he's wanted for another six year term,
but he seems he seems still to be with it, right. I
mean, he's leading the charge in the sentence on the min artist standpoint on
a lot of the whistleblower investigation. So, yeah, I don't know.
The age limit thing is a yeah, there are pros and cons to it.
I'm not sure, you know, I'm not sure. I like the
idea that I'm not gonna say his name because a lot of people would know
him. He's he formerly was but a pretty high profile in the business world
here in North Carolina. Um, he's in his eighties and he's he's still
one of the sharpest people out there, man. And it's just like I
would never, I would never, I would question, uh, Maxine Waters
versus this dude, right well, right, And so it's it's not cookie
cut, you know, one size doesn't it all. And then of course
you figure out how would they how would they manipulate the process, because that's
what they do anytime there's something so well, I think term limits gets at
part of what the concern is, right when people refuse to step aside,
and the term limits can help advance that. But you know, but that's
a different kind of discussion on the age front. Yeah, it's it we're
judging them based on their performance and that's why people are making the comments about
Joe Biden because it's so obvious that he's in decline. And the people who
were saying, oh, it's obvious that Donald Trump has some you know,
some declining faculties as well, all of those people are just completely silent on
Joe Biden. It's just people don't want to see it when it's their guy
because they were afraid of losing the power that their guy has and they think
that that kind of you know, inures to their benefit. Well, and
and that's exactly, and I was going to use that example. And I'm
glad you brought it up. Yeah, look at look at Trump's gate,
look at him walk down that we ran right right. We need the twenty
fit, We need to do this. And the reality is once you realize
that that is yet another tool to defeat your enemy, just like impeachment turned
in the last last time, and maybe the Republicans do it this time,
it's it escalates, it never backs off with them. The nuclear option was
a good example, and we are where we are. If this becomes the
norm, just like impeachments became the norm, it's you're just driving it into
the ditch. Everything you do, man. Yeah. Well, and this
is what I said to Elissa Farah, who is on the View. She's
one of the hosts on the View. And I knew I know her from
when she used to be Mark Meadows as comms person and then she went to
the House Freedom Caucus as their comms Galt and so and so she has all
of her Twitter stuff locked down. Only people that she follows can reply.
Well, she follows me, so I got to reply. And when she
says, oh, we shouldn't impeach Biden because the precedent uh, you know,
attack him over policy, defeat him at the ballot box, and I'm
like, I made that argument on Trump's first impeachment that they're setting a terrible
precedent here. Well, that precedent is now set. These are the new
rules. And in fact, the Constitution is very explicit about bribery being an
impeachable offense. So of all things to bring you know, Biden up on,
is the bribery charges. Right to indict or to impeach him over bribery
and build the evidence, you know, build the case. But the precedent
is set. We are on the road. We are on the road.
I just have about thirty seconds left, so we'll kind of leave it there.
Plus, I've now been on a thirst strike for about sixteen minutes,
so really I did it overnight. I did a thirst strike overnight all night.
Pete Gandhie Calendar. Thank you very much, sir, appreciate it.
You here next week, so we'll chatt in a couple Okay, sounds good
to have a great weekend. All right, there you go, Pete Calendar.
A um a man willing to do the tough stuff to prove his prove
his point or or sleep. Anyway, We'll be back. Hang on,
everybody. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News
Talk nine four five w PTI in the Triad. Oh oh, Boston,
Paul, you need to pay attention. I'm not I'm not gone next week.
I'm here next week. Pete Callender is off Friday, so he will
not be doing the radio thing with us in the morning. Now, you're
stuck with me unless like I don't know, unless I have like double lung
pneumonia or something. By the way, this dude man, and you do
whatever is good for you. And I'll say this even though I know he's
listening because I've joked about this in the past. We've shared some email like
still I don't mean still like he is still doing it. I mean still
like dude's running the still And at least once anytime there's a topic where he
feels he can offer me moonshine, he'll send an email. So let's talking
about hot tidd He's like, uh no, what you want to do?
Do you want to get some white lightning? Or you want to get some
moonshine and you want to do a couple of shots real quick of it because
it'll burn out the feeling in your throat so it won't hurt no more.
And I'm like, I don't know, man, And then one and then
once an hour after that you can do it? Do you want me to
send you some? And I'm like, I'm good, ros ain't gonna drink
it. And I don't need a whole big I did them. I don't
mind moonshine, and people have sent that's somebody give me some one time,
and I ended up drinking a bunch down the beach and napping and then woke
up a lobster. So there's a little danger there, but I'm good.
Sir, it ain't my rookie season. I know how to get drunk and
pretend I'm not sick. So but hey, he swears by it, so
everybody's got their ow a little remedy. Man. My mom had this stuff
she would make and it had what did it have in it that I didn't
like? Ah? So long she make this. It was a hot drink,
it had light. I think it had an apricot in it, but
it had like the seeds, and for whatever reason I was a kid,
I didn't like the seeds there. And I'm not sure what the medicinal value
was or she has got a deal on apricots all the time, but she
swore that work because that's what her mom gave her, and I think it
worked. I don't know. I was a kid. So but moonshines your
things, sir, then you do you no judgment, all right, But
now we're good now. The personal we just sending food that's not packaged in
its original thing generally shy away from that. So but nothing personal. All
right. Let me kick over into this story because I mentioned it with Pete
and to play the audio for you, because I realized I hadn't so yesterday
Diane Feinstein Ross, would you look up and see when Feinstein started in the
Senate. I was gonna do that, and I just forgot. I believe
she is. I think she might even be a longer serving than Grasslely.
Actually, even though Grassley is in his nineties, I think she's the longest
serving active member of the Senate right now. If not, she's easily top
two, top three, they'd have to be top two. It's her,
Grassley. So you know her sitting there and it's voting time, and she
knows it's voting time. It's not speech time. Speech time was before,
or a speech time was if they decided to make time for speech time.
Sometimes they just go in and vote. It's not speech time. And in
this instance it's she knows the procedure. She's been doing it the longest.
So when this happened, let me play the audio, and you're gonna hear
another senator and you're gonna hear her aid in couraging her because she has now
started a speech when all that she's being asked to do is say yay or
nay, or to not vote. I guess sometimes people cannot vote there or
abstain. I guess it was the word I'm looking for, but this is
what actually happened. UM say for me, yeah, uh, to say,
I would like to support a yes vote on this um. It provides
eight hundred and twenty three billion. That's an increase of twenty six billion for
the Department of Defense, and it funds priorities submitted. Her whole staff sitting
there around ye to say, Okay, just I thank you, dude.
I've had I've had beef with Diane Feinstein. Obviously her whipping out that letter
during the Kavanaugh hearing at the last minute. That was that dirty pool all
day. I just feel I feel really bad for her man sitting there listening
to that because they didn't just wait until she got off track. They're telling
her right off the bat what to say, and it's got you know what,
It sounded like a butt. A much sadder version is Celebrity Jeopardy Categories
on SNL. Right, They're like, um, what what was one of
the down I'm drawn like on the example, not the weird named ones,
but it's like the color orange, right, and it's like every answer is
just orange. But he can't get the you know, the people playing the
celebrities there to say it because they're also stupid. As the bit goes,
well, that's not what's going on here. Diane Feinstein, when she was
at her peak is I wouldn't say she's stupid. I think she's wrong on
a lot of stuff. But this right here, from the get go,
from the moment they come to her, her staff is already of the opinion
that she's not going to do what she's supposed to do or why else would
you just tell her say I say I listen to it at the beginning,
UM say yeah, uh to say I would like to support she started the
speech. After that they said, it's the Essenel thing is meant to be
funny, it's over the top. In this instance, it has that feeling
but in a sadder way. And I'm not going to hold Republicans harmless on
this because they and the Democrats have created this, this situation, this you
know, this extra dirty trick where you're not able, you could lose control
of the committee. I let's say dirty trick. But this parliamentary procedure that
doesn't prioritize doing something if it's clear than a member who is making decisions that
affect three hundred and well more than I say, say three hundred and thirty
million, but also many decisions that affect people from outside the country who come
here to visit or do business. There needs to be a procedure for that.
I get the arguments where people say that what will happen is people will
use that procedure disingenuously, where somebody will maybe be outed for some health thing
there. But the reality was they just wanted to get them into that office
ahead of the next election, to maybe give them a bump, like they're
the you know, the current senator, you know that which you know which,
which carries some water if there's enough time there and yeah, will people
abuse it, probably, But what's more detrimental being able to call that out
like they abuse everything else, or her having no understanding of what's going on
in there and voting on it. I don't know. You can tell me
right now. She hasn't been in office as long as they thought she was,
Like in the Senate. Her first she was born in thirty three,
Okay, her first elected office was a board a supervisor in nineteen sixty nine.
Then she became the mayor of San Francisco. She didn't join the Senate
till nineteen ninety two. That's she was. Was she mayor board when Harvey
Milk was assassinated? That's right, right, Yeah, so nineteen ninety two
is when she entered the Senate. Okay, but I think she's the longest
serving female senator. Yes, but yeah, but she's been in politics since
what nineteen sixty nine. I mean she knows how this stuff works. Yeah,
But the learning curve in the Senate for when it's time to vote or
when it's time to give a speech, like I if it's your first time
and you're nervous, I got you. But this is this is muscle memory
stuff for senators. They already know what's up. They they they talked to
the whoever their whip is, and they figured out where they're going. And
other than some flair for the dramatic, like John McCain with the thumb down,
this is this is stuff. You know. You know, it is
busy work, it is housekeeping. But yesterday it was just really weird.
All right, Race agent from the Weather Channel, the Yellow Weather house keeping
for you, like stay in your house, yeah, find a cool pool.
Some of them not even refreshing my pool water temps like in the upper
eighties and now it's just kind of like it works. But yeah, kind
of maybe I've I've had hotter, and I'm gonna jump quickly off to the
beaches especially I've had hotter, yeah, believe it or not. Yeah,
South Carolina Beaches down toward the Georgia Beaches. Actually with the Hurricane Center,
they just kind of put an X, a yellow X on this little area
of thunderstorms put a zero percent chance of developing though, but it is kind
of making a little messy and a little more cloud down at the south southeast
of US. So if you're heading to South Carolina beaches, maybe North Carolina
Beaches, the southern beaches there, maybe some more clouds and maybe a couple
of showers today. Other than that, he did advisory triangle try it no
heat advisory. But everybody in the mid to upper nineties today with the heat
and decks or that feels like temperature one oh five or hotter and a chance
of a shower, thundershower, better chance of some afternoon showers thunderstorms over the
weekend, still gonna be hot and humid, load of mid nineties on average,
and the heating us between one hundred one oh five. Nice break coming
next week though more seasonable temperatures. I might get some lows by maybe Wednesday
morning in a load of bid sixties, possibly some upper fifties, especially out
into the mountains. So a little hot, humid stuff here for a few
more days. Nice farm to come on in. We'll start off August with
some pretty nice weather. Yeah. Like the balancing Act is make it so
that if you if you're willing to make the trek up into the mountains,
you can get that relief. The best part about driving up, like going
when I'm going up to Sparta or whatever, is that the highway that gets
you up onto the mountains and watching your thermometer go from like ninety to seventy
nine. Yeah, it's and that wasn't even possible for a long time.
So better days ahead. All right, thank you sir, appreciate it a
week Yeah you too. We'll chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on smart
talk all day ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one
FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good Friday morning, eight fifty
three, your Blueberg update now, Jeff Bellinger, what's going on? Well?
Good morning, Casey, and happy Friday. The Dow's winning streak is
over and ended at thirteen sessions. Stocks started out higher yesterday, but the
mood soured as the day went on. The major averages had losses that range
from around half a percent to two thirds percent. Futures look good this morning.
The Dow futures are up one hundred and fifty three points. We earned
and spent more money last month, the government reports. Americans personal incomes rose
three tenths percent in June, while consumer spending up half a percent. Mattel's
chief executive tells Bloomberg that while sales of Barbie dolls and accessories were down in
the spring, demand has rebounded the summer products they're selling out thanks to the
Barbie movie. Mattel is already thinking about a Barbie sequel and says we could
see more movies based on the company's playthings. The economy's performance is perplexing to
those who try to figure out where it's heading. The latest datis suggests that
instead of heading for the long predicted recession, activity is actually picking up.
So maybe we need some more terminology. Some economists are now talking about a
rolling recession that only affects some industries or a rich session, with the majority
of layoffs setting higher paying occupations. And Casey, the commercial real estate market
is changing. A factory building boom is underway that was part of the recent
economic growth picked up in the second quarter, but the amount of office space
and the US is declining, possibly for the first time ever. There's very
little new office construction. Older offices are being repurposed or torn down. Meanwhile,
the Wall Street Journal reports strip malls or having their moment as retailers look
to move closer to their customers. Casey, all right, have a good
weekend, sir, and we will chat Monday. Sounds good. You have
a good weekend as well. Take care here you go. Jeff Bellinger,
Bloomberg News. All right, a couple quickies before were we roll out of
here this stories. Although I don't know why they took so long to you
know, come back with the findings. I'm pretty sure everyone in that room
or in the exhibit knew what was up. And actually it's kind of so.
There is an aquarium, the Florida Aquarium, the wiz A Mote Marine
Lab, an aquarium which is in Sarasota, Florida, and like many aquariums
in Florida, it's actually pretty nice. They have manatees, right, everybody
loves manatees, the sea cows, all of that, and so. But
in their manatee exhibit, they have two manatees, one named Hugh and the
other one is named Buffett or Buffet, I don't know, oh you pronounced
that, but any who, they're brothers, but there's something else about them,
and regulars and staff knew this. They like to hook up, and
so that was a thing that happened, and you know, their manatees whatever,
But it is something that the aquarium says that they were keeping an eye
on, but they didn't feel that there were any problems. Unfortunately, though,
back in April, as folks were there getting some photos looking at the
manatees. People love manatees, it turned really dark, according to officials who
just this week have announced what they say they feel happened. Hugh or excuse
me, Buffet decided he wanted he wanted and something and his brother wasn't given
it to him, so he took it and he did so he literally killed
his brother doing it in front of people there just take pictures of manatees and
then for what they said, they're in doing investigation and now this is what
the investigation has yielded. So the fort official Wine Life says this is not
simply something with lab animals, that it's actually behavior that is observed in wild
manatees too. So I don't know, I don't know what's up with manatees
man, but maybe need an intervention or something. Although people are wondering why
they didn't separate them, because not just because they're brothers and they're both dude
manatees, but also that behavior in the wild can get aggressive as well.
It's just more terrifying when you got a bunch of kids on a fuel trip
watching it. So there you go. That's the answer to that. A
little cherry on top for your Friday show. I don't feel good now,
you feel uncomfortable. That's how we roll. But stay cool out there to
the extent you can this weekend, and just know that every day this week
there was something crazy that just popped up. So who the heck knows what's
coming this afternoon. And of course we'll get into next week more on the
Trump indictments. We'll have more stuff, and also why a handyman is indicted
this alive every dude for moving boxes that his boss told them to move.
There's got to be something more there, so we should we should have a
little more as we get into early next week, as the leaks will no
doubt make their way to the usual suspects. It's so weird how they always
do that. And of course they'll be you know, not the whole story,
but yeah, it'll be out there and we'll be into it. Plus
