00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.000
Sounds normal to you, but to
the trained year or the OCD year,

2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:09.400
it's just a little something something.
But Ross, everything's coming through your board,

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.800
correct, right, all right,
rock on. I don't know.

4
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:23.280
Maybe maybe I'm crazy. Maybe it's
because yesterday was just the worst. Ross

5
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.519
knows some of this, and he
this is why I like Ross. I'll

6
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:35.320
tell him a lot of times we
don't even answer each other because we're not

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.039
tweens. Girls. Okay, sorry, sorry twin girls. You like the

8
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.079
text? Do you want to do
the tip? Whatever. However, when

9
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:49.920
he can tell there is a crisis, he's always there with encouragement to take

10
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.520
a day off. And I appreciate, appreciate that or three or you know,

11
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.159
however many and you know what,
I gotta be honest with you.

12
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:07.319
With the way things eventual unfolded yesterday, that probably would have been smart,

13
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.599
but I was I thought I thought
I had things figured out, worked out,

14
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.280
everything was gonna be fine. And
it was because I didn't have the

15
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:23.000
requisite experience with this topic. And
so I had tons of time too.

16
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:23.879
And it's you know, it's one
of the things that we do in the

17
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.640
world of radio. Sometimes the story
comes up. We don't I don't know

18
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.799
anything about it, and uh,
you make the commitment that you're gonna go

19
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.400
and you're gonna get a lot of
info. Now I have a selfish personal

20
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:44.000
interest obviously, in in the sense
that you know, this was something that

21
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:49.159
was impacting my life outside of work. Yeah, you know, that's why

22
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.959
I didn't learn cricket stuff, right, we just did the story whatever.

23
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.079
But this I did, and I'm
gonna I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna

24
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.200
I'll set the scene. But I
sent a tweet out yesterday and it happened

25
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.000
after I had communicated with Ross kind
of let him know what was going on.

26
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.319
What did you suggest, napalm?
I can't remember what it was.

27
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:20.560
There was definitely something on fire,
but oh my gosh, it got so

28
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.879
much worse. And the tweet I
said this, And let me just be

29
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:30.719
abundantly clear here. If there's one
thing on on Twitter, and it predates

30
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:36.080
Elon a little bit, but obviously
it's once you get into monetization of engagement

31
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.360
farming. There's a lot of folks. How many times have you seen somebody

32
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.120
just send out a tweet. It's
usually very short and it's just like your

33
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:54.759
world changes at three check back or
Biden in handcuffs. By the end of

34
00:02:54.759 --> 00:03:00.680
the day, you know whatever the
hook is, and you know that you

35
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.599
know that there's nothing coming or it's
gonna be just it's either gonna be an

36
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.360
unprovable thing scoop, which I don't
know. It's fine if you want to

37
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.639
do it conspiratorially, but if you're
gonna make the promise that somebody's going to

38
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.599
jail, even in this this messed
up system, you should at least have

39
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:23.000
the goods that in a normal world
they would be in jail. Like,

40
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.759
I don't even hold you to the
standard of what DJ is gonna do.

41
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.439
And and there are there are some
Twitter accounts that realize if you need to

42
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:37.400
pump those numbers up, that works, And I hate it and I hope

43
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:42.879
it stops working. And I literally
block accounts for that crap. So when

44
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:49.680
I send a tweet out yesterday,
I I didn't have enough room in the

45
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.479
tweet to explain what I wanted to
explain and also let you know how much

46
00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:02.360
I hate that crap. So I
wrote, kids, I have first ballot

47
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:08.199
Hall of Fame nightmare fuel ross.
That's a high standard, right, first

48
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.759
ballot Hall of Fame nightmare Fueld.
Yeah it's pretty big. Yeah, yeah,

49
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.280
what would you say is up there? If you just I'm sorry,

50
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.879
I just hit you with this right
there. Just something that that haunts your

51
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.439
dreams, maybe a story you saw
or what about that little girl who founded

52
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:25.480
the bees in her wall? Okay, that's that's a very good example.

53
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.839
I did not find what was how
many bees was? It was way too

54
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.040
many. It was like over fifty
thousand bees. It was all the bees

55
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.360
they're looking for in the documentary.
I've just put it together. They did

56
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.759
a whole documentary about had a cute
name and a camera what it was.

57
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.959
But they're like, ah, all
the bees are missing and then we're all

58
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.399
gonna die. So we found them. They were in this little girl's wall.

59
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:56.759
That is a good example. So
here's what Ross knows. And I'm

60
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.920
gonna let you I'm gonna tell you. I don't like to do the trick

61
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.720
warning thing, but I'm gonna let
you know when I get before I get

62
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:15.639
to the really stuff. Okay,
So I'm bopping back and forth, you

63
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.000
know, travel we had the time
off all of that. What is that

64
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:26.319
three weeks ago? Okay? And
I have when you live on your own,

65
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.360
you do whatever you want within reason. Eventually kind of mature and you

66
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.560
don't do some of the stuff you
did when you were twenty or you know,

67
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.439
your first apartment, you're like,
I'm gonna have an indoor fire pit.

68
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.319
Right, You're past that, although
now you can kind of maybe afford

69
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:48.079
to do that, but still no, not me. So I this sounds

70
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:55.720
weird. I don't sleep necessarily just
in one bed, is I It's crazy?

71
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:03.160
Right? So like I have two
different sleep possible my house. Don't

72
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.360
judge, it is what it is. I know some people I've told people

73
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.680
that in they can't fathom it.
They're like, I have to sleep in

74
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.800
my bed on my side whatever,
And I'm like, it's just me.

75
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.560
I'll sleep in the kitchen if I
want to. Who's gonna stop me.

76
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:24.720
So so there's that, And it
has to do with, you know,

77
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.160
where you want to be in the
house. The airflow, if it's the

78
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.279
windows open, act that whatever it
is, that's not important. What is

79
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:38.319
important, though, is it stays
warmer in the one room just kind of

80
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.040
naturally, if without screwing with too
much stuff, without having to really crank

81
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:51.519
stuff, So that can that can
impact it. However, also when you're

82
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:57.680
running a lot of ac. On
the other side, it stays cooler because

83
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:04.240
it's a lot more insulated. But
I prefer the bed. So it's obviously

84
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:12.920
obviously it's summer, so but at
night sometimes it's actually reasonable. And so

85
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:21.040
as I returned to the world from
time off, I am I'm very bad

86
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:26.720
with unpacking luggage because I don't I
always have a carry I only take carry

87
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:31.959
ons even internationally. And I got
it. I don't have a lot of

88
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.079
variety to my clothing. It's a
lot of you know, T shirts and

89
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:45.959
pants and shorts, pretty basic mix
and match. Okay, So I took

90
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.439
the luggage and I when I got
home and I literally put it on the

91
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:55.480
one bed and opened it up,
took out like the travel you know,

92
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:00.319
my travel kit case thing for you
know, toothpaste and all that, at

93
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.920
a couple other things, and I
just kind of left it there, and

94
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.399
in sheer laziness, I slept in
where I wanted to sleep so that other

95
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:16.199
one can be a guest bedroom whatever. And then I wanted to go sleep

96
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.519
up there because obviously crazy you know, crazy temperature extremes all that. But

97
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.839
when I'm doing that, I don't
even let I don't like. It has

98
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.600
a comforter and sheets and looks like
a normal bed, but I mean,

99
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.920
if I'm hot, so it's still
a little warm. There's like a blanket

100
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.000
on the bottom end of it.
I won't even I'll just sleep on top

101
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.440
of it with that blanket. I
know that's weird, but it's necessary for

102
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.519
this story. So I moved the
luggage, put in the over the closet,

103
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.399
a little stand thing in there.
I'm like, I'll deal with that

104
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.159
later. And a few days go
by. This is just And then on

105
00:08:50.759 --> 00:09:01.159
Thursday obviously was a day off,
and so Wednesday, I'm like, hey,

106
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.919
I know it's not sinco to my
ole, but you can drink tequila

107
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.600
for this, right. So anyway, so I come back to the house

108
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.519
and a little late when I was
some friends and uh we did that because

109
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.039
you know, Friday morning we had
to do the show. And I woke

110
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:24.039
up and I'm like, that was
stupid. Also what happened? And I

111
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:30.240
like, had I thought, like
I thought I had left like a screen

112
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.919
door open or something, or a
screen on a window, and like all

113
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.799
the mosquitoes were like, yeah,
let's go in there. Like I didn't

114
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.279
know what was up at first,
but I brushed it off because like it

115
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.279
wasn't bad bad and it looked like
mosquito stuff. So I kind of walked

116
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.240
around the house and I did actually
find a culprit, and he met his

117
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:56.279
demise with the electric whacker thing.
So it happens again and it's bad.

118
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.000
And then I kind of looked around
went to the other bed, and then

119
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.919
Saturday night, slept in that bed
and got under the covers. This time,

120
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.559
because the blanket was a little I
had thrown it into the wash.

121
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:20.480
I woke up and I am absolutely
brutalized on my legs, and so I'm

122
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.840
like, all right, I gotta
figure out what's going on. I start

123
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.799
walking around the house kind of you
know. I was threw some dishes in,

124
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.320
was sweeping, sweeping the patio,
and I'm like, all right,

125
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.480
well, I'm gonna go. Let
me go grab those sheets or whatever,

126
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.440
because like, I don't know what's
up, but I like it was gross.

127
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:48.200
So I pulled back the sheets ready, all the bed bugs, all

128
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.360
of I know this is a long
road to get there, but you need

129
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.639
to understand because now I have to
solve a mystery. Why in this one

130
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.799
part of my house and nowhere else
because I point, I'm like, I'm

131
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:07.000
checking everything and and and that that
part of that one bedroom and then the

132
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.360
bathroom that's adjacent to it that attaches
to it, the en suite, which

133
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.240
also attaches out into the hall.
So that's that's important. So I'm like,

134
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:22.919
how like I hear bedbugs and I've
never actually had that happen, but

135
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.320
it sounds awful, like like you
have to you have to burn your house

136
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.799
down, right? Is just that
I was gonna say, So you burn

137
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.600
that mattress right like that. The
mattress is done, it's out, and

138
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.919
not just that basically anything that I
didn't So I take everything out of that

139
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.679
room and it's the hottest load with
the hottest dry thing I was reading online.

140
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.759
They're like, that'll do it.
But even stuff like there's a couple

141
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.480
like mats, bath mats and stuff
that were like ten dollars at Walmart.

142
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.559
They're gone, they're out. But
the mattress obviously is gone. And that's

143
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.120
what you right, because you're like, yeah, you should take the day

144
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.919
off, and I'm no, no, no. To be fair, he

145
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.879
said you should take two days off. Okay, that's you know what you

146
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:15.120
might be right the most awful thing. So so like immediately I'm like,

147
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:22.200
I gotta get a I actually know
exterminator bedbug, like dude, and I'm

148
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.759
like, we got we gotta do
this. So so I actually talked to

149
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.600
the guy. I texted him a
little bit, but he couldn't get there

150
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:41.559
until after brown noon today. So
yesterday I am simultaneously educating myself on these

151
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.840
things, and I'm also trying to
figure out how they got in there.

152
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.720
And I always just assumed it's like
you go to a you go to the

153
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:50.559
swap meet, and you're like,
hey, look at that couch, and

154
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.120
then you just like, don't check
anything, and it's it's it's just the

155
00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:01.519
the trojan horse. But I don't
think so, and so you have to

156
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.240
understand that. In the in the
span of that vacation, uh and and

157
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.879
back and forth to work, I
am in Raleigh, Greensboro, Miami,

158
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.279
and Costa Rica, Okay, And
the Miami thing was not just at the

159
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.840
airport. Remember they had the two
feet of rain. I got stuck in

160
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.600
that. So I had to go
in the middle of Miami now being a

161
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.759
swimming pool, and and go get
a hotel. It was very cheap though,

162
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.080
why because nobody's dumb enough to be
in Miami, just me. So

163
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.440
it's so I got like I had
points, and I got a I got

164
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.200
a suite at the Kempton, which
is very nither win in Winston Salem is

165
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.679
amazing. By the way, if
you haven't been to the bar restaurant,

166
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.879
highly recommend it. But that's another
thing for another time. So South Beach,

167
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.279
Miami, Anglers, Kempton there.
So now I have to figure out

168
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:03.679
one of these places. I had
sent dude a picture of the bugs that

169
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:11.000
I corralled in the murder Zone.
And what was interesting is he's like he's

170
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.840
explaining it to me, like I
know what the heck it is. There

171
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.519
are two kinds of these bugs.
There are the North American version, or

172
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.440
I guess the northern version, and
then there what are known as tropical,

173
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.720
and the body style is different.
Not that I could pick it out,

174
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.879
but once he pointed it out,
I guess it made sense. And he

175
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.039
thought it was interesting because it looked
like there was both and the only place

176
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:39.799
where there's both of those places is
Miami. So I don't know, this

177
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.080
is not me knocking. I kept
in especially you brought him back from Florida.

178
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.480
Well no, So here's the thing. Yes, they went Florida.

179
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.000
They yes, and remember that's on
the down leg. That's so, it's

180
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.879
just everything is Florida. Man,
this is this is my punishment for doing

181
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.240
all the Florida jokes. I think
I haven't got to the worst part yet

182
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.519
and for that, I'm gonna take
a break. I'm leading up to this

183
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.919
and I'm sorry I'm dragging you along, but holy crap, here's the thing.

184
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:18.080
For like several hours on Sunday,
I'm doing the thing. I'm doing

185
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:24.360
the thing where I know because I
can visually see that there is not anything

186
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:30.679
on me, and it feels like
bugs are on you, just randomly,

187
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:37.200
and it's it's so awful. And
that's where Ross and I's conversation ended.

188
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.240
And I after a little while,
I'm like, I kind of got it

189
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.559
together, and I'm just like,
oh, that's a horrible feeling. But

190
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.480
we're gonna get We're gonna get through
this. I learned way too much.

191
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:56.080
They there's they love to hook up, totally irresponsible with you know, children,

192
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.960
and boy, they make a lot. It's when you start doing the

193
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.559
math, it becomes like Frank Duke's
explaining the number of rounds of the Kuma

194
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:10.559
te all right, the horrible part
though, yeah, that's not even the

195
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.919
horrible part. The horrible part comes
your way in just a few minutes.

196
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.200
Hang on, I like, I
hear you, and I read all this

197
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:23.480
stuff, and look, it makes
sense. Some of it makes I'm it's

198
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:33.120
either napalm or professional dude coming in
so and I and they do all sorts

199
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.120
of explained it. I'm like,
you do just whatever, man, just

200
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:45.200
whatever, Just do it twice or
extra whatever. And that's where we left

201
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.480
it. And I communicated Ross what
was going on. He say, I

202
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.960
take the day off. And then
I'm like, now, or take two

203
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.919
days off? Ha ha. I
did threaten our PD And he's like that's

204
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.000
awful man. I'm like, yeah, I'll still be there. I'm feeling

205
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.240
better. So the creepy krawleys that
stuff kind of like dazed, and then

206
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.640
I did and this is the here's
the cautionary tale, and then we'll get

207
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:17.200
to the meat. I did something
incredibly dumb. In hindsight, I recognized

208
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:23.440
that after my fervent search, that
a very small footprint of my house was

209
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.039
impacted by this. Because now I
know what to look for from eggs and

210
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.079
all that, and basically that room
a little bit in the bathroom in the

211
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.440
shower, but I'll never use that
shower. But I looked in there and

212
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.920
the tile is kind of the color
of the egg, so it And there's

213
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.759
another thing. I had a cleaning
I have a cleaning lady, and uh

214
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:52.119
yep, that's right, Flexen.
And the last time she had came and

215
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:57.640
done anything with that bathroom and that
bedroom was prior to vacation. So but

216
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:03.880
it was the day before four.
So I have a timeline now because obviously

217
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.759
she's she's good. And it's like
when she changed out the sheets and she'd

218
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.599
have noticed and she'd have said something. And I did text her and she's

219
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.880
like, no, no, nothing
like I would tell you. I'm like,

220
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.799
no, I know you would.
I just literally I'm just trying to

221
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:26.839
figure this out. So I decided
I'm going to contain and start the murdering.

222
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:32.160
Don't start the murdering until you're ready
to do all the murdering. Here's

223
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.279
the spiral and wait for the punchline. So I'm like, all right,

224
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.920
I don't have I already know where
this is going. Well, really,

225
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.720
what's your prediction, sir? I
believe that when you killed one of them,

226
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.799
Uh, they all sort of ran
to where the one was, so

227
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.359
they all it drew them all out, right, they all came out.

228
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.799
You're half right. You have to
understand I'm opening volley was Nagasaki? Okay,

229
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.799
yeah, I understand. That's I
know how that's that's how ants work

230
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.799
because when you kill an ant,
you ever notice, like you step on

231
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.079
an ant, Yeah, a lot
of like where's your friend? It releases

232
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.319
like some sort of oh yeah saying
that the ants get like a pheromone or

233
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.839
something that the ants can sense,
so they go there so they can sort

234
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.240
of like get rid of their dead. I was on a website that,

235
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.359
based on that tried to give you
like it has like a calculators you can

236
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.640
try to figure out how many based
on eggs stuff and what you see,

237
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.640
and it's total. It's probably wildly
inaccurate, as I came to find out.

238
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:37.400
And so I decided, all right, I'm going to the center of

239
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:45.839
the problem. Is this bed right
hands down? That's it just horror story.

240
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.599
When I pulled back, there's actually
like a comforter pad two, so

241
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.240
it's two layers. That's right.
You get the fitted sheet off and you're

242
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.160
like, oh my gosh. And
then you pull the pad off, You're

243
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:00.000
like, there's a whole other town
here. So then immediately I'm like this

244
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.119
mattress. I didn't take it out
of the room, but I did strip

245
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:08.279
everything down and h and lean it
up against the wall there, right,

246
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:11.880
because I wanted to assess what's going
on. So and I'm like, you

247
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.039
know what, I could probably kill
like a bunch of these because I have

248
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.519
some I have some stuff, right, and for ticks and mites and all

249
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.720
that, and that stuff, Jenner
and Flees will work, but bed bugs

250
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:27.759
were a little different, right.
You got to you gotta hit them right

251
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:34.160
on and on the ones that got
hit right on absolute, absolute scoreboard.

252
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:44.039
Uh Nagasaki. Right. Problem is
Japan's not just Nagasaki or Hiroshima. And

253
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:48.720
that's where the comparisons will stop,
because yes, you're kind of right in

254
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.799
that all of the bed bugs at
that point, the ones I could see

255
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:59.039
and couldn't see, recognized that I
had I had started the war. And

256
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:03.000
you have to understand the only thing
that they eat is blood from warm blooded

257
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:08.839
cret creatures, mammals. Right,
I'm the only mammal. I'm it.

258
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.359
I'm the buffet. I didn't take
this into account. So two things happened.

259
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.279
One bloom, You're all dead.
I feel good. I'm like,

260
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:23.119
this war is gonna be over to
I'm George Bush with the mission accomplished banner.

261
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.319
Okay, I'm like, this is
gonna show up Tomorrow's be like,

262
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:36.599
oh no, thanks, he did
my work for me. They then scattered,

263
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:45.279
which is far worse than the ants
from like the crystal skulls. Okay,

264
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.079
I'd rather have them all as weird
as that sound. They scattered,

265
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:55.880
and to scatter, they went places
they had never been, and I recognize

266
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.839
pretty quick what's going on. Like
no, so I try to like spray

267
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.279
perimeter in there, like we're you
said you should have done the perimeter first.

268
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.160
I did. I actually did do
the perimeter. First. I did

269
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.200
the door. I'm two doors into
that room, and then the bathroom.

270
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.359
I did the perimeter hard. I'm
having didn't care. I'm sorry, I'm

271
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:18.359
having a hard time focusing here.
Yeah, sort of looks like the skin

272
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.000
this like your skin is hanging off
your bones. Yeah, like iak sugar

273
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.960
water every morning. So is that
where you're gonna go as a host for

274
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.960
a giant space cockroach? I'm just
gonna put it out there that are you

275
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:36.079
a giant space cockroach? You guys
killed all my people. So I knew

276
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.559
it all right now, all right, So I did perimeter first. Remember

277
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.200
how you said you gotta hit them, You gotta hit them on right,

278
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.240
they'll die a quick death on So
now I am. I am in a

279
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:52.680
sinking feeling because every time I said
another perimeter, I look behind me and

280
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.759
I'm like, you can see them. They're they're like all they're like six

281
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:59.440
different sizes. I learned so much, little ones or big ones. They

282
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.559
don't fly, but they are determined. They're a little engine that could.

283
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:11.559
I almost respected the hustle. And
so what happened is now I'm like I've

284
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:18.720
lost I've lost the the the They're
through the wall. They're in the city,

285
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:26.680
okay. And so then my afternoon
turned into trying to find a place

286
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:32.839
where they wouldn't go so that I
could could I to put prep together.

287
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:38.039
I got to sleep. Turns out
I don't very much, and I would

288
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.319
go into another room and within twenty
it's like, you know, it's like

289
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.319
Jason Voorhee's tracking you through the woods. Right. He's not fast, but

290
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.240
he's always there, and I would
see them. I'm like, I'm a

291
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.960
bedbugs spotty machine. Now yeah,
and then you get super paranoid about them

292
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.799
being everywhere, like you can't say
it gets and now the creepy crawley feelings.

293
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.359
And so every about thirty minutes,
I would get up with a broom

294
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:10.079
and murder spray and just go out
and try to put another bullet in their

295
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:18.960
head. And it quickly was growing
out of control. And and then I'm

296
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:23.000
like, all right, it looks
like the area they want is this.

297
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.440
I got squatters in my house.
There's nothing I could do to oll tomorrow

298
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.759
when the police show up. I
need to I gotta do prep. And

299
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.720
now I feel horrible. I should
I should Rouse was right, we should.

300
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.119
I should not be here because I
don't think you could pay me to

301
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.880
sleep in this house. But I
got to set up away from anywhere that

302
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:47.440
they were, where it's wood stairs
connected. They kinda they need you have

303
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:49.720
fabric is more advantageous to them.
And I'm like, I gotta I got

304
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:52.720
a pretty good setup. I got
some blankets that had never been near him,

305
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.440
but also I had just washed hot
at setting okay, and I set

306
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.880
this thing up and I kind of
on a couch, but it's a it's

307
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.640
one of those couches that's it folds. It's in it's in my office and

308
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.799
it folds and flips down. And
then it's a bed. So this is

309
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:12.720
an extra bed, and it's leather, or it's probably not real. It's

310
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:18.559
not real leather, but yeah,
it's not really their jam. And so

311
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.359
I'm up in there, and I'm
sitting there and I'm looking around because now

312
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:29.319
I'm paranoid, and I see the
first one and and and then it dawns

313
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:34.079
on me. I'm the only food
source in the house. You know,

314
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.720
I don't got critters running around,
not married off kids. I'm it.

315
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:47.039
They're gonna go wherever I go.
And and they will always know somehow because

316
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:52.559
I would look through the door into
the hallway where I've got every light on,

317
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.759
because I've convinced myself that if it's
super light, maybe they won't move

318
00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:02.839
like a cockroach. They don't care. You're the only buffeith, and you

319
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:10.039
realize real quick that you are losing
this campaign, and even with reinforcements tomorrow,

320
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:11.640
I don't know, maybe the burn
it down napalm thing was right.

321
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.680
You know, you're like the Australians
with yes, yes, how could I

322
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:23.599
not beat an EMU pull get on? They're so dumb, and I'm like,

323
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.880
I gotta get it together. I
gotta I gotta do work. So

324
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.119
I'm like, all right, I
get this prior to get it set.

325
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.559
I got it set up. I
see what's going on. But I'm like,

326
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.720
I still got a truck forward.
I'll take a quick shower, come

327
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.799
out, we'll do another round of
murdering. I don't know that I'm gonna

328
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:42.519
sleep very much, but we'll make
it work. I do a show tomorrow.

329
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:52.920
So this is the part where I'm
gonna let you know this. This

330
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.240
is not some of you are gonna
get pretty creep down. I want you

331
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.880
to stick through it, okay.
And I asked Roza if you want to

332
00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:03.759
know before the show? He said
no, he would take the plunge with

333
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.279
you. So ross, you're signing
the digital permission slip. Okay. I

334
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:12.240
gotta I feel like I need legal
protection here for what I for what happened

335
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.839
next, And unfortunately there's not a
way I can just get to it without

336
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:21.039
telegraphing a little of what's gonna happen. Do you're probably picking up on it.

337
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:26.759
Remember I said, I woke up
and I am just like, I'm

338
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.519
like, what happened to me?
Why am I? Why don't look like

339
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:34.839
I got attacked by all the animals? So I have done this all day.

340
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:38.559
I'm sweaty, I'm nasty because I'm
running around moving stuff, sweeping,

341
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:47.759
planning, arson and I go to
the shower, not obviously that one,

342
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.920
but the one that I use where
which thankfully I had not seen anything in

343
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:59.640
there yet yet. Get in the
shower, I'm scrubbing the heck out of

344
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:00.799
myself, cause not in paranoid,
I'm like, are they on my back?

345
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.799
It's like ticks? Right? Where
are they? And I'm like,

346
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.279
can I go to the the neighbor
look at my back? But I don't

347
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:10.400
show them there, Like I'm these
are all the things going through my mind.

348
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.359
And I do all that scrub the
hair, brush, the teeth.

349
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.599
Basically all the clothes I had,
I had put them in one of the

350
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:23.000
rooms where they have they've already seized
that land, right, I want no

351
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:29.480
set And I got clothes that were
nowhere near and I visually checked them all

352
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.559
and brought them in there. And
there's a little cubby thing and he closed

353
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:40.880
the boot, put them in there. And here's the telegraphing. We wear

354
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:44.880
ross and I wear headphones a lot, and it doesn't afflict everybody like this,

355
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.599
but I it does happen to me. Where if you wear headphones a

356
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:55.119
lot for work and you know,
not just radio, but guys weren't construction

357
00:28:55.279 --> 00:29:00.559
sites, you know, work in
an airfield, whatever, sometimes like your

358
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:07.880
ears will get all backed up,
and so I literally have like a flush

359
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.200
kit thing in that shower. So
if I'm like, ah, and then

360
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:11.880
I could just do it. I
know it's kind of gross. You didn't

361
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.799
want to hear that, but did
exist. So I'm like, you know

362
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:22.640
what, I clean everything. Let's
hit this bad boy. You know where

363
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:27.680
this is going, don't you?
In the sleep While the rest are like,

364
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:34.559
look at this buffet, this is
amazing. One of the bed bugs

365
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:38.440
was not interested. He's like,
you know what, I'm going splunking.

366
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:48.559
And so I flush the right ear
and like, I really didn't get the

367
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.160
results, but it felt better.
I'm like, Okay, I do the

368
00:29:52.240 --> 00:30:00.680
left ear, and uh, it
expels out and then I feel something on

369
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.480
the left side and then it drops
on my shoulder. It's the it's the

370
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:17.640
cave dude. But that's not the
worst part because as I am looking at

371
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:21.599
my shoulder, going I guess I
gotta burn the shoulder and get John Wick

372
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:26.400
to stick his pencil in that ear, I feel movement in the right ear

373
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:38.160
and he's not coming out. Oh
my god, you've got a bug in

374
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:44.359
your head. Not anymore. We'll
talk, but I staying and you'd stay

375
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:48.799
over there, dude, exact count
Am I delivering on my promise? Yeah,

376
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:56.000
so that was why are you here? Because now I'm having to go.

377
00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.559
Yeah, you started the show and
you're like, oh, my mic

378
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:03.079
sounds weird on the way. Everything
sounds weird today because you got bugs in

379
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.799
your ears. Man, No,
hold on, I didn't realize that.

380
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:10.799
The one dude's like, I'm going
spelunkin. The other dude, much larger

381
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:11.759
dude, was like, hey,
that sounds like a good idea, but

382
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.359
I'm gonna go check this other kve
out. But also it's all you can

383
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.079
eat, right because they got a
little thing to in there, which that

384
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:26.200
crosses my mind. I'm like,
yo, no, and I learned many

385
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:32.039
years ago, you you gotta be
careful because I was in my twenties and

386
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:37.440
uh, we were road tripping up
in New England and we we found this

387
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.480
like Vermont, Yeah it was in
Vermont or New Hampshire, I can't remember

388
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:44.400
which one. Like roadside hotel,
the only amenities. It's got a bar

389
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.680
and a driving range and was like
cheap and we're like we're in And in

390
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.599
the middle of the night, I
woke up. I'm like, what is

391
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.519
that feeling? And it was a
spider in the moment I woke up,

392
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.960
boom in the year and I ran
in the shower and I ended up drowning

393
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:00.640
him. And now he's in there, and I did the rest of the

394
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.799
trip, like a week with him
in there. He didn't the whole thing

395
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.839
didn't come out because I didn't want
to. I was poor, didn't want

396
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:12.599
to go to the doctor any of
that, and so I just waited it

397
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.720
out and then boom, one day, boom, there's the whole thing.

398
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:19.960
And so I learned my lesson,
so I didn't drown him. I negotiated

399
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:27.359
with him for four hours with a
combination of vegetable oil and water and just

400
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.039
something together, and then eventually he
gave up the ghost. And it was

401
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.119
at that point as I go into
the night and I know that I'm not

402
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:39.160
sleeping. Two hours before my alarm
went off, I surrendered the battlefield and

403
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:43.640
I slept in a folding chair on
my patio for two hours. And now

404
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:52.079
I'm doing a show because that's our
commitment. And I'm sorry if I creeped

405
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.720
you out. I'm still thinking napalm
maybe the way to go. But we'll

406
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:59.119
see it eleven thirty when the dude
gets there. Okay, all right,

407
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:02.240
we'll be back. Hang on.
I know that I just chewed up the

408
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.039
first hour of the show, and
I here's the deal. The story had

409
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:15.799
to be told once in its entirety
because there are cautionary tales in there.

410
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:22.599
There is These are stories like old
Time. Somebody mentioned Twilight Zone, the

411
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:28.839
email where you were able to convey
from an audio and the imagination of the

412
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:34.680
listener's perspective something that will stick with
them. And I know this because multiple

413
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:38.119
people are. I don't know that
they're. One lady's very upset with me.

414
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:40.920
But I gave you a trigger warnings, So what do you want me

415
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:45.240
to do? And I didn't go
crazy on it. I literally told it

416
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:52.720
straight up because they're driving like I
had not covered in bugs. Yes,

417
00:33:52.160 --> 00:34:01.279
yeah, absolutely, you know what
my buddy Robert, who so I he

418
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:08.840
and I share that cleaning lady.
And I know one of Robert's things is

419
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:14.719
bugs. I don't know why he's
dude. He's a dude's dude, but

420
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:19.880
like bugs creep him out, man, and he's not and I hold him

421
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:24.400
and she cleans my house then goes
to his house. He was like,

422
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:29.760
she can't clean your house this week. After they're done, and then my

423
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:35.639
house on the same day. I'm
like, I will work it out with

424
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:40.840
her. Man. It's just wild. So like I'm sitting there and I'm

425
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.119
I'm like telling him this because I
just like I have to share the pain

426
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.239
with somebody else, and like he
viscerally got it. So I apologize if

427
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:50.880
I did that to you, but
in a way, but like there was

428
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.000
so much going on. From now
on, we'll do calls right now and

429
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:59.559
then I'll probably retell a very shortened
version of it. So if you're hearing

430
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:01.840
this now, he just joined us
or that, go back to the podcast

431
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:07.280
if if you want to, you
want an hour that will fly by and

432
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:12.079
horrify you, And to Corey,
you send me the email. Those were

433
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:14.440
the bugs in your ears? How
many you think you're in your nose and

434
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:20.079
mouth. Thank you for that.
Appreciate that. Thank you very much.

435
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:27.320
Glad you sent multiple emails on that
thing that I thought I did think about

436
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:29.880
for a moment, but I had
to like erase it from my brain.

437
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:36.480
Don't worry. We'll get Joe Biden, who every time the more black churches

438
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.280
he goes to, the more awkward
he looks and wait to hear the quote

439
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:42.800
from the bishop. And we got
audio. We we got all sorts of

440
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.719
stuff we will get to over the
course of the show. But it's my

441
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.920
show, and I had to share
that with you, cause damn Okay.

442
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.920
All right, Seth, you're up
first, go right ahead. Hey,

443
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:57.119
good morning, we're usome morning.
Casey. Yeah, I was driving on

444
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:00.840
forty this morning listening to this on
the way into work, and I'm like

445
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:07.039
viscerally also reacting to the story.
I'm like making these jerk emotions, like

446
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.239
freaking out, and I'm watching the
people around me. Before You're like,

447
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:15.119
dude, are you okay? Are
you like going into medical medical issue?

448
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.239
I'm like, no, I'm fine, I'm all right, but I'm getting

449
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:21.280
ready to go over to the window. The widow. The widow got a

450
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.199
chair to watch me. I don't
blame her. I look like it looks

451
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:25.280
like the dude on the other side
of the park with the bees. But

452
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:29.119
she thinks I'm an OCD meth producer
or something. I don't know. She

453
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:32.000
knows what I do. But come
on, man, and I'm getting ready

454
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:36.360
to go overseas myself here in about
two weeks, and I was like,

455
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.039
oh god, I'm gonna be like
hyper paranoid. I'm gonna I don't want

456
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:43.880

457
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:47.199

459
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:58.119

know what, He's right, Yeah,

460
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:02.199
Like thank you that. Like I
learned my tail. The spider thing was

461
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:09.480
very instructive and horrifying, but instructive. And I rather than you know,

462
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:15.679
shoot first, ask questions later.
I'm telling you if forget water boarding,

463
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:20.079
all you you military folks listening,
okay, all right, forget you know,

464
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.159
the the Hanoi hilton or pungy sticks
or fingernails, bamboo, you know

465
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:29.239
what put somebody in a house with
all the bed bugs and tell them they

466
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:36.880
can't go outside of the house have
fun sleeping, and you'll start hallucinating bed

467
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.559
bugs. You're like, is that
now it's a fuzzy because they're about size

468
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:45.599
of a little fuzzy and some of
them are the same color. It's that

469
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:51.719
was awful and I and I yielded
the field. I let squatters take over

470
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.840
my my house just for so I
could get like two and a half hours

471
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:04.079
sleep. Awful, all right,
Uh Joe, what's up? Hey?

472
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.719
What's up? Gentlemen? How's everything
horrible? Obviously? Sir? Okay,

473
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.840
I feel free a man. I
had a buddy that went through this.

474
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:13.360
First thing you gotta do is get
your housekeeping a bomb in her entire set

475
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:15.920
of equipment to go. That stuff
can never come back in the house.

476
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:17.480
Second of all, yes, I
want the equipment. The equipment is at

477
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:21.119
my house actually, and Roberts got
his own, which is why I told

478
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.480
him that he's whiny and just asked
her to change in between. But he's

479
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:27.679
he bugs creep him out, man. So yeah. But the second thing

480
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.840
you gotta do, the you gotta
bay these sobs. You got to get

481
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:35.840
yourself a bloody piece of room tench
temperature steak laid on a plate. What,

482
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.679
No, it's a steak, sir, it's my steak. You want

483
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:40.800
to get. You know what I'm
gonna get, sir, I'm gonna get

484
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:45.280
a hobbled cat. One of this
got the wheel the back. Now you're

485
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:51.079
talking, Now you're talking bread.
No, Yeah, they come out get

486
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:52.079
whatever you got to need. It's
got to be room, temperture, it's

487
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.400
got to be bloody, and they'll
come out to it and they're gonna swarm

488
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.920
it. And then you grab those
son of the guns and you spray them

489
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:01.719
and you'll kill hundreds of thousands at
a time. Well then that probably shouldn't

490
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:07.800
do the cats. So all right, all right, man, good luck,

491
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.599
y have a good way. Do
you think I probably can't go over

492
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:13.960
to the shelter today and be like, you know what, I just found

493
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.920
out. I love cats. You
should give me five of them. Do

494
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:23.559
you have slow ones anything injured?
Probably not. You just make so many

495
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:28.599
realizations as you're you're you're figuring out
that you're it. You're the only game

496
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:31.320
in town. They're gonna follow you
with they are. It's like slow zombies.

497
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:37.880
Man, It's just awful. All
right. I feel like we need

498
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:40.360
some oh, one of the last
thing. I'm gonna say. There are

499
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:45.239
two moments this over the weekend too, where I felt bad for a moment.

500
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.519
Then I'm just like, nah,
this is what I do. One

501
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:54.920
I felt bad for a moment about
the promo I cut Friday, where I

502
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.760
just said, hey, uh,
it's uh fourth of July. Park two,

503
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.320
how many fingers well folks have left? And what happens? You know,

504
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:08.360
a little crazy fireworks story join us
Monday. And I don't know if

505
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:13.559
you're aware of what happened down in
South Carolina. I texted Ross. I

506
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.920
said, I felt bad for a
little moment for for a little bit,

507
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:21.639
and we'll get into that story.
But then, while I am on a

508
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:27.800
arrest period in between my you know, my murder raids all around the all

509
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:35.440
around the house, I started to
remember Spiderweb Dad. Do you remember that

510
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:37.559
story Ross? Where he went up? Was it? It was the rafters

511
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:42.280
of the garage, right, he
had like the garage had wood rafters.

512
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:45.199
We had the panels overseeing store stuff, but it was wide open up to

513
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:49.840
the sky. And and there's two
different versions. There's this one and then

514
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.920
there was another dude, but the
story went the same way and he was.

515
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.880
I think it was his basement or
something, and I don't know how

516
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.559
it got as bad as it did, but the whole thing spy Webs and

517
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:07.480
they both arrived at the conclusion blow
torch is the way to go. And

518
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:10.360
you remember that story because they burned
all their stuff down right, it's like

519
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:16.360
turkey frying in your garage, and
you don't know how displacement works. I

520
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:23.679
felt bad for Spiderweb Dad because I
read the heat thing right, and there's

521
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:28.440
only so much you can stick into
the dryer of the washer. And I

522
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:32.000
thought for a moment, because I
have a blow torch, what man doesn't.

523
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:36.400
I don't have a flame thrower,
but I have a blow torch,

524
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:44.119
so we get by. What if
I have that in one hand, and

525
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:50.559
I have a little fire extinguisher that's
in the in my office, and then

526
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:52.920
I have a big one in the
kitchen, but or a bigger not like

527
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.159
a huge one, but you know
what I mean. What if I got

528
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:00.800
the little palm one in one the
blow torch in the other, because just

529
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.480
trying to hit them individually with the
uh And that thought crossed my mind yesterday.

530
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.679
I'm like, it's not that they
were dumb, it's that they didn't

531
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:14.320
do it right. It's like,
you know what it was. It was

532
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:19.000
communism for a moment, Ross,
it was communism. Those two guys burn

533
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:21.480
their house down. They just didn't
do it right. I'm gonna do it

534
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:23.480
right. Yeah, we're gonna learn
from their mistakes. Yes, yeah,

535
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:28.719
you just These aren't spiderwebs. These
are bed bugs whatever. I mean,

536
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:32.360
if it's bed bugs or carbon or
termites or whatever. Yeah said in the

537
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:37.920
way kill right, Yeah, you're
right, yeah, And I was.

538
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:44.119
I had convinced myself that if I
went onto the three season porch patio thing

539
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:49.400
where they did, that's what they
did. Make out. That floor is

540
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.840
not it is not like the other
floors. Right, You're not going to

541
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:57.400
catch that thing on fire directly because
it's the fire resistant composite. There's reasons

542
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.280
for it. But I'm like,
that could be my test area. And

543
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:04.360
I'm like, dude, you are
going to burn your house down. Stop

544
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:09.039
it. You already tried to fix
this yourself. Stop stop your Clark Griswold,

545
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:14.920
just stop, man, And uh, thankfully I did. And then

546
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:20.079
horribleness. So all right, let's
do this because I gotta have a buffer

547
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.559
zone. I do we got news, you ever got actual news and audio

548
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:28.559
and all sorts of craziness because you
know the weekend THEO was and we will

549
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:35.199
get to that after my selfish hijacking
of airtime coming up here on the CaCO

550
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:38.679
Day Radio program. It's wrong though, it says, uh infested CaCO Day

551
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:44.800
Radio program infested with bugs slash bugs
in ear survivor, you got the bugs

552
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.039
part right. I'm a two time
survivor. I will fix that right now.

553
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:50.199
And I think when I was a
kid, I got I had like

554
00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:53.760
the silver fish or the roly pie
had something in my ear. I remember

555
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:59.960
my mom was just like, she
was not pleased. But so but adult,

556
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.880
we'll just for adults. So anyway, thanks for putting that out there.

557
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:12.400
Everyone appreciates it. Speaking of adults, it's adulting at church with uh

558
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:15.239
Joe Biden. I'm telling you,
man, the more black churches he goes

559
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:23.079
to, the more uncomfortable he looks, and the orange is gone, that

560
00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:30.239
little hand to temporary tattoo thing he
had rocking. I mean it was kind

561
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:36.280
of there for this Stephan Stephanopolis interview. Yeah, but now does this make

562
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.920
him a Christian nationalist because he's campaigning
at a church, A big fan of

563
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:44.199
the church. Mark Robinson's remember he's
big. He's in big trouble for saying

564
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.039
some stuff at a church again and
they think he's a Christian ationalist. So

565
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:52.679
yeah, I mean right, because
we equality yours. No, no,

566
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:55.559
it doesn't, of course it doesn't
because, as you'll come to find out,

567
00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:04.760
it's a moonbat church. Yeah,
yeah, it's uh it's super moonbatty

568
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:09.280
man. And uh there is an
amazing quote. Well there's two things.

569
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:15.239
One Joe Biden says Dark Brandon's coming
back. Do you think Joe knows he's

570
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:17.679
Dark Brandon or do you think there's
an act? Does he think it's somebody

571
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:24.239
else? I was just thinking of
that, like he's like, that's that's

572
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:29.280
a good looking man there. Oh
he's scary too, he probably does.

573
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:35.360
But anyway, the the amount of
like what's he gonna do for him?

574
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:38.159
Like he was, he was all
in on those statements he was making.

575
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:43.000
He's like, I'm not going anywhere, And there was, you know,

576
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:47.719
speculation was that they're literally negotiating surrender
at this moment. And he came out

577
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:52.039
full throated and he's like I'm I'm
gonna do what I'm gonna do if you

578
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.440
can be convinced that you can knock
defeed Donald Trump while you stand down.

579
00:45:55.760 --> 00:46:01.119
This is from the interview. Depends
if if the Lord Almighty comes out and

580
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:05.039
tells me that I might do that. Well, I mean at a more

581
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:09.039
practical level. Washington Puss just reported
in the last hour that Senator Mark Warner

582
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:14.000
is assembling a group of senators together
to try and convince you to stand down

583
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.760
because they don't think you can win. Well, Mark is a good many

584
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:22.519
We've never had that. He also
tried to get the nomination too. By

585
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.199
the way, he didn't do different
Mark a lot of marks. Whatever.

586
00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:30.880
Mark's not Mark, can I have
a different perspective. I respect him.

587
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:37.360
And if Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries
and Nancy Pelosi come down and say we're

588
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.679
worried that if you stay in the
race, we're going to lose the house

589
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:44.760
in the Senate, how will you
respond. I've go into detail with them.

590
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:49.480
I've just picked all of them in
detail, including Jim Cleiber. Every

591
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.679
one of them. They all said, race, stay in the race.

592
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:58.800
No one said what does that mean? He also Jim Clyber, because Akeem

593
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:00.719
Jeffries is black, so is not
that I saw the video of him not

594
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:07.519
hugging that woman or whatever, although
he had talked to her earlier, that

595
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.960
is on video. But you couldn't
convince me he remembered something he did before

596
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:15.000
the Ralley right now. So I
don't know. But on this what do

597
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:17.760
you mean? Also, Jim Clyburn, what does that mean? Maybe he

598
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:22.119
holds him to more of a standard
or something because didn't he have something to

599
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.880
do with them, or maybe I'm
thinking of a different guy like the primary

600
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:29.599
back in twenty twenty. It all
turned around in South Carolina because of his

601
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:34.519
help, right, yes, so
maybe that's why, Yeah, I get

602
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:37.639
Yeah, maybe I Again, I
don't have to because you know, the

603
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:40.360
easy thing if you're like Associated Press
and that the parties are flipped, you

604
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:45.440
just go look racist. So I
don't know, it's just a weird wording.

605
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:51.000
I should leave. But if they
do, oh I'm not going to

606
00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:55.400
do that. Yeah. Yeah.
And and by the way, this goes

607
00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:59.599
on, and remember they had this
was like this is a short interview and

608
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.480
it was pretty recorded. It's use
if the Lornal Mighty come out and said,

609
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:02.920
Joe get out of the race,
I got out the race, and

610
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:08.440
Lord of Mightey's not coming down.
I mean these hypothetic what sends somebody in

611
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:13.199
as the Lord Almighty. I'm sorry, I understand this is a blast,

612
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:16.159
but you'll have to tell him that
you support abortion. Note so he'll be

613
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:20.480
like, oh, that's the church. I know, Nichol George if I

614
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:24.840
mean default, but it's it's not
that hypothetical anymore. I grant that they

615
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:29.800
have not requested the meeting, but
it's been real. I met with them.

616
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:32.679
I've met with a lot of these
people. I've talked them right money.

617
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:37.880
For those of you, by the
way, maybe tuning in to that

618
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:43.400
Sweetest Cent and you're like, ah, what happened? I did? I

619
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:47.800
did a literally the whole first hour
on the Nightmare Fuel thing that I tweeted,

620
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:52.440
So I'm gonna I'll talk about it
again for one segment at eight oh

621
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:57.639
five. Okay, I will not
do the full but if you want the

622
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:01.559
full version, that'll be our one
of the podcast, okay, or won't

623
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:05.440
be an hour, be the first
what thirty five minutes or whatever of the

624
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.239
podcast today, so you can get
that. You can get the whole thing.

625
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:12.960
The only thing I left out of
that is how I was dressed,

626
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:15.599
which I'll at the eight o'clock hour. I'll mention that because it is.

627
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.360
It's an amazing little nugg of the
story. But I was running out of

628
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:22.599
time. Yeah, all right,
let's go to Joe Biden, shall we.

629
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:29.639
Dude, is you know he's campaign
in Pennsylvania. He's doing a few

630
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:35.639
stops, says dark Brandon's coming back
whatever, and then heads over to the

631
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:40.199
black church. Okay, all right. Remember this man was raised in a

632
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:46.440
black church, he told us,
and every time he goes to a black

633
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:51.280
church, he somehow looks more awkward. You remember the video of him where

634
00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:54.639
everybody's moving, they're feeling the spirit, they're dancing, they're clapping, you

635
00:49:54.679 --> 00:50:00.320
know, the stereotypical southern black church, which you know it's a stereotype for

636
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:06.280
a reason. And he's like armstiff
to his side, doing the slow rock

637
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:07.880
okay, and I can't dance,
so I like, I get that,

638
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:15.239
But you're like, nah, this
is my this is my background. Mm

639
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:21.679
hmm. It is clearly not,
sir, But he keeps going. And

640
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:24.400
you know, when you're for the
same reason that Mark Robinson goes to church.

641
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:28.719
There is value there in connecting with
people. If you know how to

642
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:34.800
connect with them and uh. And
then also it gives video for the Moonbats

643
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:43.400
journalists locally to say that Mark Robinson
wants to kill everybody because they've never seen

644
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:51.280
about nine different movies I can tell
you about because they're boring from the pulpit

645
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:53.599
of the church. Oh, here
is the damn. Here is the audio.

646
00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:57.360
It was not attached to the other
story. I'm gonna read it to

647
00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:05.880
you. The bishop of the church
who now has to tell his congregation a

648
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.280
little something because they knew that Biden
was probably they probably knew Biden was coming

649
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:13.280
pre debate or had some well maybe
not. I don't know. I don't

650
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:15.800
know how long this thing was scheduled
out. But obviously, even if you

651
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:21.679
love the guy, you recognize that
that Joe Biden shows up may not be

652
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:25.400
the one in your mind, Okay. And the bishop recognizes that. So

653
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:30.159
he's got to go lob some defense
some you know, he's got to preload

654
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:36.239
this thing. And I'm going to
read this for batim the bishop j Lewis

655
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:42.360
Felton. That dude sounds like a
middle of the day injury lawyer, doesn't

656
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:50.679
he. Jay Lewis Felton call the
law offices up Mi's o'theliomer something I don't

657
00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:52.519
know, but he went, he's
a bishop, all right. Anyway,

658
00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:59.280
he said, and I quote,
I don't know why it is, And

659
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:02.199
Biden's sitting on stage next to him, he's kind of he's talking to him,

660
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:07.679
but he's talking to congregation. I
don't know why it is that you

661
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:10.920
want to make an issue the president
and his condition and this is being directed

662
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:15.239
at the media, people online all
of that. I don't know why it

663
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:20.639
is that you want to make an
issue of the president and his condition was

664
00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:24.639
stammering and not being able at certain
times to bring forth words. And then

665
00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:31.159
he's like, you know, look
at the other guy trump word salads.

666
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:37.960
We agree, wanders rambles. I'm
guilty of it too. But if when

667
00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:42.920
you're at that level of politics,
tind to try to rein it in because

668
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:45.800
you know, time is money,
Money's time. You're doing a bunch of

669
00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:47.480
different things. Get to the point. Here's the test and stuff. It's

670
00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:52.159
all the stuff you hate about upper
level politicians that at the end of the

671
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:54.960
day kind of works like attack ads. Who likes these? I don't know

672
00:52:55.280 --> 00:53:04.920
people sadly, this is what it
is. The it's not because of the

673
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:10.559
stammering though, because you could argue
that Donald Trump is not a smooth start

674
00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:16.199
to finish, clear, concise storyteller. Sometimes he is, but a lot

675
00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:22.320
of times it's it's nine things going
on at once. The just randomly says

676
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:24.440
that, by the way, that's
what people like because it is that differential.

677
00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:30.880
So a lot of people try and
explain this on the air or online,

678
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:34.079
they're just like, no, what
you don't understand is he's not that

679
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.039
guy. We talked about this last
week right ross when Pete was on with

680
00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:43.280
the European elections, right or just
elections everywhere. It's like, you're just

681
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:46.079
not the guy who I hate because
the COVID or whatever. I just need

682
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:50.719
to have the other guy. And
maybe we're perpetually in that voting pattern or

683
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:55.000
maybe not. If you do what
McCrone did in France and you literally bring

684
00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:59.079
over all of the people that you
brought over the squad, you have to

685
00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:05.239
understand in France, look, I'm
rambling in France to maintain power, so

686
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:09.440
that the penn and there's there's far
right, there's right, there's left,

687
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:14.280
and then there's far left and obviously
you got some middlers there and it's just

688
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:16.760
like in the US where they're just
like, that's a far right. Everyone's

689
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:21.199
far right. Who's on the right
if you listen to the left tell you

690
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:29.199
that? And for some politicians the
same back and forth. But the uber

691
00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:31.840
moon bats in France, basically the
left could ignore them and then the right

692
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:38.679
ignores the uber right. So but
McCrone couldn't do that anymore. So he

693
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:44.760
had to go and he had to
get a coalition, which means one of

694
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:47.519
two things happened. There were demands, there are policies, there are things

695
00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:52.480
and priorities that had to be agreed
to be included, maybe some higher up

696
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:59.599
leadership positions. We'll see you either
don't do it and then you get a

697
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:05.079
blitter rate in the next election,
or you do it and you have now

698
00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:09.000
successfully moved France leftward. And in
fact you were so quick to do it

699
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:20.920
one of the biggest fails in French
policy. Uh posts nineteen forty six was

700
00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:23.440
about a decade or something, maybe
even more than that. Do you remember

701
00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:27.719
when France is like the top marginal
tax rate's going to be ninety percent.

702
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.199
I promise I'll get back to the
Trump thing and the and the Biden thing

703
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:34.159
where they said, the top tax
rate for the for the you over rich

704
00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:38.239
in France is going to be ninety
percent, which is French society is born

705
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:44.679
upon income, inequality or whatever.
Right the haves that have nods being members

706
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:46.679
of court. Let them eat cake. Oh that's a guillotine. What's going

707
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:51.840
on? And so they have a
they have a long and storied tradition.

708
00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:58.840
But ninety percent was too much for
basically all the people who would be tax

709
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:00.760
ninety percent because it's not like people
say the US, we had a top

710
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:05.400
marginal tax rate of whatever, it
was eighty some percent. It's like,

711
00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:08.880
yeah, but that's not the the
effective tax rate. If you look through

712
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:13.639
history, the effective tax rate in
the US, if you group everybody doesn't

713
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:17.960
move much. Is it like eighteen
percent or something on average? But it

714
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:21.559
does, you know, around the
edge of it ebbs and flows. And

715
00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:28.480
I remember literally that day, what
is Depp Pardue's first name is Gerard right,

716
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:30.920
the actor, the ugly actor,
but they call him but whatever,

717
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:39.440
he's a good actor. He's like, ah bye, yeah, I'm out.

718
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:43.719
And they're like, oh my gosh, wait where are the rich people

719
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:47.480
going? And and Franz you have
to understand France was like overrepresented in the

720
00:56:47.480 --> 00:56:52.079
Panama papers, because that's all I
told you about when I was in When

721
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:58.000
I was Panama City and I'm in
the I'm in the Hotel Nice Hotel in

722
00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:00.960
the financial district. I look at
this quizite condo building across the street which

723
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:05.280
had a doorman and the park,
and I realized, there's no there's really

724
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.800
nobody in there. And then I
realized when I'm at the restaurant, which

725
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:10.599
is like the thirty eighth floor of
the hotel, looking into the thirty eighth

726
00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:14.440
floor of the condos, they're not
even built out. Most of them.

727
00:57:14.679 --> 00:57:20.000
They're all tax shelters. And so
those Panama papers came forward. There's a

728
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:24.960
lot of big names craziness in there, but a lot of French because they

729
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:29.159
went Nope, if I'm going to
stay, nope, and even if I'm

730
00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:36.039
leaving, I'll probably nope. And
they ended up having to undo that because

731
00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:38.880
they were just driving anyone with a
big money out of the out of the

732
00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:45.800
country. That is a priority for
the new government in France. This thing

733
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:50.360
that they saw, they just didn't
try it right the first time. Ross

734
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:53.559
what you need or fences or walls
to keep people in man I'm seeing this

735
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:58.719
stuff from France yesterday. Yeah,
and I'm looking at the map that came

736
00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:00.400
in. You see the map that's
all the social media where like it's all

737
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:04.920
of France and it's all blue where
La Penn won. Right, the only

738
00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:07.679
place she did not win was Paris. And the first thing I thought,

739
00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:10.239
Well, first, I thought,
the parliamentary system is ridiculous in garbage and

740
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:14.519
you talk about these backroom shady deals. It's the definition of it. Right,

741
00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.119
I got to build a coalition with
the communists just some quote far right

742
00:58:17.199 --> 00:58:22.639
can't win. But also the second
thing I thought was thank God for the

743
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.599
electoral College because this is the sort
of thing because you hear this all the

744
00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:29.559
time, right when we have an
election and I talk to people over in

745
00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:31.400
Europe and UK thanks to the Twitch
channel, right, like I talked to

746
00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:35.159
it, and you constantly hear or
you read it on social media, like,

747
00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:37.519
oh, the American system doesn't make
sense because why you know, the

748
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:40.159
popular vote should count and what is
this? You know, the electoral college

749
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:45.079
makes no sense. This is the
sort of thing it defends against. Yeah,

750
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:51.159
and so this is why the founders
were genius in creating it. Minnesota

751
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:53.480
when I lived there, and then
it was it was swaying. Minnesota had

752
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:58.679
that to some extent. Obviously they
don't have parliamentary so to speak. It's

753
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:04.239
it's very standard, but it is
immediately clear that if you live in Minnesota,

754
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:09.119
the twin cities are one, they're
Minnesota left and outstate is Minnesota right.

755
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:13.000
And they're almost they at the time
were almost equal in voting. That's

756
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:15.840
why you'd have these crazy Senate races. Were one trunk full of ballots.

757
00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:21.800
Get al Franken in there, thanks
Mark Elias, and and and then that

758
00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:25.079
was quickly going the other direction because
if you were a kid who wanted to

759
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:30.360
live in the big city, had
lofty ideals, maybe a little little leftist,

760
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:35.119
not just from Minnesota, but Wisconsin, the Dakota's, Iowa, wherever

761
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:38.960
you go to Minneapolis. And so
the numbers just kept blowing up. Yeah,

762
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:43.599
no, it's crazy. And this
this, this bishop's got to think

763
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:49.760
of something not even remotely the same
thing. Sir, all right, who

764
00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.920
do we got raced agic or do
you get swept away by stupid the name

765
00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:58.400
hurricane out Hey? Good morning,
all right, go ahead with your barrel

766
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:01.079
update, and then yeah, maybe
talk about us for a few Yeah,

767
01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:07.639
Baryl came on shore just before four
am Central time, Category one eighty mile

768
01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:13.519
per hour storm impacts now being felt
across coastal Texas. Houston being hit hard,

769
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:17.719
heavy rain, storm surge along the
coast, and even severe weather threats.

770
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:22.599
So Cat one coming on shore near
Matagorda, Texas, eighty mile per

771
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:27.679
hour winds and now heading inland,
likely having impacts as far north as maybe

772
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:31.639
Chicago and Detroit later in the week
as a depression, but limited if any

773
01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:34.559
here. I mean, I mean, I guess you can make a case

774
01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:38.360
that the remnant low might be hooked
up to a front and eventually and become

775
01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:43.519
extratropical and draw some moisture in here, But that's kind of stretching it a

776
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:45.960
bit. But we will get some
showers. Thunder showers might be a few

777
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:50.599
trying to sneak in this morning to
our south, but most of it this

778
01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:53.599
afternoon's still warm and humid, near
ninety. Tomorrow ninety five or the lot

779
01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:58.039
to mid nineties will feel over one
hundred again, and Wednesday we'll be back

780
01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:01.079
into the lotta mid nineties again with
afternoon storre worms each day. And what

781
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:04.360
was that I saw while I was
away. What o six? All time

782
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:08.440
record high for Raleigh. You're talking
about station with our ratings? Yeah,

783
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:12.280
well yeah that too. Did we
have that too? Again? Boy,

784
01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:15.199
we're good, aren't we. Well
it's you know what, you gotta thank

785
01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:19.239
the president and and debates. Yeah
they can do that too, right,

786
01:01:19.360 --> 01:01:22.360
Yeah? But what was it?
Six? Wasn't it? Gosh? I

787
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:23.679
was like, wow, good thing. I'm not there to take the heat

788
01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:28.079
for that, but yeah, hot, humid, not quite as hot,

789
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.599
but hot enough. Next couple of
days. Okay, well, what's the

790
01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:34.880
next name? Storm? By the
way, so you guys, Debbie the

791
01:01:35.039 --> 01:01:37.880
sea storm, Chris Cutting, remember
we changed we? Uh we did?

792
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.719
We tell you we changed all the
names to we're doing thematically and this year's

793
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:45.960
storms are all named after eighties wrestlers
Roy who was the D Do you remember

794
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:52.880
who do we go with with D
B? Remember who was the D?

795
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:58.679
Yeah? B was Brutus Beefcake,
wasn't it now? I think we saw

796
01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:01.679
the Bam bam Bigeloway then see and
then D is we have to come up

797
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:06.599
with the D storm. So anyway, just consult with us as you go

798
01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:08.639
through talking and out. We'll do
it. Yep, there you go,

799
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:14.719
Ah, are you staging from it'd
be like Diamond Dallas Page. Maybe I

800
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:20.920
don't know. Yeah, I thought
we had something, but I don't remember

801
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:24.920
because my whole life turned into a
walking nightmare on Sunday. So I will

802
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:28.800
get into that story eight oh five, but the shortened version. So there's

803
01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:36.519
that I yesterday took to Twitter with
almost no sleep, already in covered in

804
01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:43.519
injuries. I'll explain kind of.
I said, I have first level,

805
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:49.360
first ballot, Hall of Fame,
nightmare fuel, and unlike those guys on

806
01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:53.559
Twitter just looking for engagement, Ross, I delivered right our one of the

807
01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:58.760
show, one hundred. Okay,
this is not even a question the emails

808
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:01.840
that I have. I so I
wouldn't be surprised if somebody calls your boss

809
01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:07.239
like I can't come in today.
But also I can't go into a structure.

810
01:03:07.559 --> 01:03:09.360
I don't know. I didn't mean
to do that to you, but

811
01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:13.679
is wild the whole setup how we
got there. I'm gonna eliminate that.

812
01:03:13.719 --> 01:03:17.199
But if you want to hear the
whole thing our just listen to podcast.

813
01:03:17.519 --> 01:03:22.519
Well I have it for you shortly
after the show. Unless Ros gets creeped

814
01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:25.960
out, He's like, nope,
I'm out. So just look for it.

815
01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:30.480
I'm going to give you a small
version, and if you have a

816
01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:32.280
visceral reaction, I will warn you
at the part where I think it might

817
01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:45.239
happen. But soul, my Sunday
sucked. Long story short, I went

818
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:49.119
on vacation. You remember all that, And I know that within the time

819
01:03:49.159 --> 01:03:52.159
that I went on vacation to the
weekend, it was actually the end of

820
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:55.320
last week, but into the weekend, signs were showing. But I didn't

821
01:03:55.320 --> 01:04:01.280
figure out untill Sunday. A the
theory. My theory is a piece of

822
01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:06.280
luggage from my travels, either Miami
Coastreak or Raleigh. I don't know.

823
01:04:06.480 --> 01:04:13.920
Miami's looking like the spot because I
had I went in and was pulling sheets

824
01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:20.639
off this bed that I had not
slept under into the sheets, uh until

825
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.800
the last couple of days. Sometimes
I sleep in one bed, sometimes I

826
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:28.360
sleep in the other. Don't try
to understand it. And I got I

827
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:30.079
woke up and I thought, like
mosquito. I had left like a screen

828
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:33.400
open or something. Some mosquitos got
in. But it was it was weird,

829
01:04:33.480 --> 01:04:36.800
man, because it looked like a
kind of but it had happened before,

830
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:42.320
and I had to go around like
murder, mosquitos, whatever. I

831
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:45.480
but I felt so bad waking up
Sunday morning, I'm like, what is

832
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:49.039
going on? And I go out. I'm doing some things, make I'm

833
01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:53.239
making some food, and I'm like, I gotta like, I gotta clean

834
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:56.360
up and then figure out what's going
on. So I throw pasta in the

835
01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:01.559
water and then I walk into this
bedroom and I'm I'm stripping it down the

836
01:05:01.559 --> 01:05:08.559
throat in the wash right, and
that's when I see it. There is

837
01:05:08.599 --> 01:05:13.840
a layer of bedbugs. I had
never seen bedbugs in person, and under

838
01:05:13.960 --> 01:05:15.119
I have a pad on there too, so I think the pad off,

839
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:19.840
there's another layer. It's it's it's
like a fifteen minute city or something.

840
01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:28.920
And I'm horrified. But one because
now every moment it feels like there's bugs

841
01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:33.320
on my skin, even though I
can visually see there's not. I'm having

842
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:38.519
PTSD on this, and I tell
I, tell Ross what's going on.

843
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:41.480
He's like, you should burn your
house down. I'm like, that's probably

844
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:45.760
where I'm gonna go. But so
I doing triage. I'm educating myself because

845
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:50.559
I don't know a lot about it, and I convince myself that it hasn't

846
01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:56.079
spread out of this nexus very much
and due to the short time. And

847
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:01.239
I get a guy he's coming today. I'm assuming he'll nap palm the house

848
01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:06.000
for me or whatever he does.
And we're talking and he actually puts me

849
01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:11.960
a little at ease. He's like, no, this is good, this

850
01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:14.639
is better. And so he told
me a couple of horror stories from the

851
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:18.880
anyway, and he goes, if
you caught it early, this is what

852
01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:20.639
we just we're gonna do these things. And I'm like, you should do

853
01:06:20.639 --> 01:06:23.960
all those things multiple times, and
then if you want to use fire,

854
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:28.320
go ahead. But I feel a
little better and I kind of the creepy

855
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:30.239
crawlies go away. I communicate this
to Ross, who's instantly like, we

856
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:43.599
should take time off. So we
didn't do that, and I did something

857
01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:47.559
really stupid. I'm like, you
know what, Yeah, I gott I'll

858
01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:51.239
come tomorrow. I wonder if I
go Nagasaki on him? Right? I

859
01:06:51.239 --> 01:06:55.960
got him, I got him surrounded. I know where they are. They're

860
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:59.239
in this They're in this one bedroom
and then like a little bit in this

861
01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:05.119
bathroom that's the en suite. I
got this. Do not do that because

862
01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:10.519
what happened is I hit him.
But unlikes the ticks and the fleas and

863
01:07:10.559 --> 01:07:13.320
stuff that the spray also says that
it does. It's just the home stuff.

864
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:16.519
It's not the good stuff. It'll
it'll, it'll kill the bedbug.

865
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.440
But you got to hit them straight
on. They're not coming by munching on

866
01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:26.119
it later and dying. And instead
of swarming me, they immediately broke into

867
01:07:26.199 --> 01:07:30.079
one hundred different tribes and moved throughout
started expanding in the house, and I

868
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:34.599
start freaking out. So now I'm
having to do this thing where every like

869
01:07:34.639 --> 01:07:40.239
thirty minutes, I go on like
kill team missions, like seal team all

870
01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:43.000
around the house, just trying to
to and I had like tried to put

871
01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:46.360
a perimeter and it kept expanding.
I'm losing this battle. I'm losing the

872
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:53.760
war. And it got so bad. I'm like, I have made a

873
01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:59.559
grave mistake that I'm I am walking
around this out. I'm walking around my

874
01:07:59.559 --> 01:08:02.960
house. But I want you to
visualize this I am wearing because I don't

875
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:05.559
want them anywhere near my skin,
because you have to understand, the only

876
01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:09.400
warm blooded mammals, that's what they
feed on. And I'm the only game

877
01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:11.880
in town. I got no pets, I'm not married, no kids,

878
01:08:12.159 --> 01:08:15.479
i'm it, and any room I
went into, after a certain amount of

879
01:08:15.479 --> 01:08:18.840
time I would see some, I'd
see a couple of them just kind of

880
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:25.359
like slowly Jason Voory's style, making
their way in. They are diabolical.

881
01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:31.640
I respect the hustle, but i'm
it. And I have now got on

882
01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:35.600
a pair of real tree that I
don't use them for hunting anymore. But

883
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:39.319
you know, the pants got all
the velcrow around them, so you can

884
01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:43.880
literally lock down your your sock situation. If you're like early early hunting,

885
01:08:44.239 --> 01:08:45.840
like early fall beer hunting, you
got it the whole thing, or you

886
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:51.279
just could get eaten alive. Yeah. So I've got those on, which

887
01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:56.239
because these have now made their way
to around the house pants and I needed

888
01:08:56.279 --> 01:08:59.159
the longer socks, but the warm
weather the wool socks, I want to

889
01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:00.520
wear those. I have the short
socks for shoes. So I have on

890
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:05.640
a pair of dress socks and those
pants they velcrow and then they flip the

891
01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:09.560
socks because you need length on the
socks, and it tucks it in there

892
01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:15.520
all tight. I then have a
long sleeve shirt that tucks and then hooks,

893
01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:17.880
but it's it hooks off the pants
and I kind of you know,

894
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:24.279
rigged it, which is just like
it's like an American flag long sleeve shirt,

895
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:29.520
but it has the velcrow wrists and
I've got those on lockdown, but

896
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:33.319
I need my hands. I have
the collar thing up and I had like

897
01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:40.319
a pullover hat. I am basically
a middle Eastern, more moderate woman.

898
01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:45.760
It's not the full uh you know, the full beaded thing. Most people

899
01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:48.680
are mistake it and think that's the
whole outphit. There's an abaya the job,

900
01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:51.920
and then there's the veil. But
anyway, so it's open. That's

901
01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:56.359
what I look like, except nothing
matches. And my neighbor's like what is

902
01:09:56.359 --> 01:10:01.079
he doing? And I'm running around
frantic. That's not the bad part.

903
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:06.960
That's the setup. So now I
have I'm like, I don't know what

904
01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:10.720
to Ross was right. I should
not I should take the day off because

905
01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:13.640
you couldn't pay me to sleep.
And it's like, do I go to

906
01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:16.279
the hotel? And if I go
to a hotel, this thing they're gonna

907
01:10:16.520 --> 01:10:20.720
they'll have all the houses right,
and then there'll be a bed bug paradise

908
01:10:20.840 --> 01:10:25.560
and I'm not gonna let the squatters
win. So I continue this and I

909
01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:30.000
prep and I do all these things, and I'm running around doing all this

910
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:33.640
stuff and I'm sweaty, I'm gross, I feel defeated, and I'm like,

911
01:10:33.760 --> 01:10:38.640
I have to like clean up a
little. I gotta get my I

912
01:10:38.640 --> 01:10:43.439
gotta get prepped done, and I
gotta figure out what I'm gonna do to

913
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:46.199
get a little bit of sleep,
because everywhere I go, even if they

914
01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:54.560
weren't there, they're coming because that's
what Vorhees does. And here is here's

915
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:59.800
the part. Here's the part where
I'm just gonna let you know you should

916
01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:08.640
right here. But it's part of
the cautionary tail. So I think I

917
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:12.359
got a pretty good handle on I'll
be able to sleep on this one couch

918
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:16.319
because it's you know, it's leather
feel and they're more fabricy and it's got

919
01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:19.279
metal legs. I don't know if
they fully get up that they can,

920
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:25.520
by the way, and then I'll
kind of cord it off and that'll work.

921
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:29.960
And then I got some clothes were
nowhere near it. I gave him

922
01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:34.039
a visual inspection everything, and they'd
been freshly washed. Do We're fine,

923
01:11:34.399 --> 01:11:38.119
And I got everything where they can't
get to it. So I go and

924
01:11:38.199 --> 01:11:42.239
I shower and I'm in the shower, and one of the things that happens

925
01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:46.159
if you wear a headful lot of
headphones for work, like we do pilots.

926
01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:51.680
I guess to some others, your
ears can get a little clogged up.

927
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:58.600
So I actually have like a flush
kit in in that shower, and

928
01:11:58.680 --> 01:12:03.119
the thing works like gang bas fans
great, and so all right, I'm

929
01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:06.800
gonna hit these bad boys. It
never dawned on me, is it been

930
01:12:06.840 --> 01:12:11.600
a while? And I flushed the
right ear? All right? Worked?

931
01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:14.399
That was much like, We're good. I know it's a little gross,

932
01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:16.720
and I'm like, all right,
cool, I hit the left here.

933
01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:19.359
I'm starting to feel better. I'm
like, plans working. I don't see

934
01:12:19.439 --> 01:12:30.439
him just great. And the moment
that rinsed out while everyone was running around

935
01:12:30.439 --> 01:12:32.399
trying to eat me, this guy
is like, I'm going cave diving,

936
01:12:32.880 --> 01:12:36.439
and that's what he did. No, that's not even the worst part.

937
01:12:38.079 --> 01:12:41.039
You feeling it, aren't you the
little tingly sensation. The worst part is

938
01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:45.000
this. So I look over and
he's on my shoulder, and let's just

939
01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:50.680
I didn't have the most manly reaction. But I'm like, you're going down

940
01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:56.199
the drain right now. I can't. And the moment he's off and I

941
01:12:56.199 --> 01:13:02.479
think I'm clear. I feel wiggling
in my right ear. And I told

942
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:04.960
you the story of when I was
early twenties, me and a buddy are

943
01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:08.279
like, let's go to all the
baseball stadiums. We have no money,

944
01:13:08.640 --> 01:13:14.720
and so we we did. We
did. We did Baltimore and went to

945
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:16.199
the Mets. We didn't get Yankees, I know, we suck, and

946
01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:23.760
went to Boston and went to Then
We're gonna loop around through New England and

947
01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:28.000
then come back through Cooperstown and then
drive backs as I was obviously not living

948
01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:31.800
in North Carolina and somewhere we we
have no money, and so imagine our

949
01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:35.880
surprise on the roads of New Hampshire, whichever one doesn't allow billboards. There

950
01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:41.920
is this roadside motel that has a
sports bar attached to the motel and a

951
01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:45.119
driving range with like five bays,
and it says you stay here, you

952
01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:48.199
play here. And we did have
clubs with us because we're going to play

953
01:13:48.239 --> 01:13:53.720
the course in Cooperstown. And in
the middle of the night, I wake

954
01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:56.039
up, I'm like, what is
going on in Oh it's a spider and

955
01:13:56.039 --> 01:13:59.119
it crawled in my ear and I
made rookie mistake and I went to the

956
01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:03.159
shower and d and it stayed with
me like the next week we were still

957
01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:09.119
out and then when I got back
home event it came out and I'm like,

958
01:14:09.359 --> 01:14:12.399
don't make that mistake. So I
know I got to negotiate with this

959
01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:17.520
monster, which you know, don't
just jam him in there. The trick

960
01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:23.319
that I found that does that did
work is a little whale in the ear.

961
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:27.720
But you actually it's weird because you
actually want up that you're facing up.

962
01:14:27.720 --> 01:14:33.399
I'm pulling away from the bike and
you want it up so like they

963
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:36.479
can float out because if not,
you'll just drown it. I can't.

964
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:41.479
Yeah, so grust If I wake
up and I'm doing my morning routine and

965
01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:45.720
bugs start falling out of my ears, I am I'm done for the day.

966
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:48.279
And you you were saying early in
the show, very early before we

967
01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:51.560
went on the air, like you
know, like five fifty whatever, you're

968
01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:55.439
you're testing your microphone out and this
is before you told me about the bugs

969
01:14:55.439 --> 01:14:58.000
in your ears. Yeah, you're
like, oh man, the microphone doesn't

970
01:14:58.039 --> 01:15:00.399
sound right. It does sound right
to you. How come I and how

971
01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:01.880
come this doesn't stutter? Because you
got bugs in your ears? Man?

972
01:15:02.560 --> 01:15:09.119
I think well, actually, I
think the microphones sounded different because I the

973
01:15:10.399 --> 01:15:14.199
I literally bumped this thing, and
I have different headphones. I just switch

974
01:15:14.239 --> 01:15:16.880
out headphones, so not for that
reason. Just because I got some newer

975
01:15:16.920 --> 01:15:21.479
ones, you may have to buy
new headphones like mat oh the match that

976
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:25.479
they's gone. Yeah, I know
there's a bunch of stuff like anything in

977
01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:29.840
that bathroom that's not a gazillion dollars. It's gone. Owls, bath mats,

978
01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:31.159
they're gone. And I want to
apologize too, because I made the

979
01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:34.279
joke previously about before I knew about
all this, like I just knew.

980
01:15:34.279 --> 01:15:38.239
I knew it the bed bugs,
but you know about like the ears.

981
01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:42.319
I was on the upswing with you, right right, and I just said,

982
01:15:42.359 --> 01:15:44.920
being funny, I said, you
know, hey, your skin is

983
01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:47.800
hanging up your bones. Have you
become the host of a space cockroach?

984
01:15:48.199 --> 01:15:54.399
Right? Are you drinking sugar water? I'm drinking tea iced tea, so

985
01:15:56.039 --> 01:15:59.920
unsweet? I know that's so.
When's the bug guy come? Uh?

986
01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:09.880
Eleven thirty? Yeah, yep,
eleven thirty. I I mean I gotta

987
01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:13.199
go. Triage free gets there,
right. You mean if I were you,

988
01:16:13.319 --> 01:16:16.680
dude, I would move I would
well do it. So Nate Palmer

989
01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:23.279
Arson. I don't know if you
decided, but dude, it's just horribleness,

990
01:16:23.319 --> 01:16:26.439
just horribleness. I promise you though, if you want like the full

991
01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:29.920
horror movie experience, since in you
know, the growing sense of dread.

992
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:34.000
You think it's going one way,
it's going another. Dumb decisions by the

993
01:16:34.359 --> 01:16:38.760
protagonist, right, Ah, I'm
gonna run in the woods with heels,

994
01:16:40.119 --> 01:16:43.119
or I'm gonna I'm gonna murder them
before the guy can get here tomorrow.

995
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:46.720
Like all of those elements, all
the good horror elements, or at least

996
01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:50.520
uh stereotypical one, they're all in
there. I could say this is terrifying,

997
01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:54.000
and this is an experience that I
think more people had living in North

998
01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:57.039
Carolina was like once this happened.
I want to say, this was like

999
01:16:57.079 --> 01:16:59.680
ten years ago where we were watching
a movie in bed and all of a

1000
01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:02.079
sudden was movement and it was one
of those good old fashioned, big old

1001
01:17:02.279 --> 01:17:09.199
North Carolina palmetto bugs and the shrieking
that we went a dude, terrifying.

1002
01:17:09.279 --> 01:17:13.079
I can't even imagine having a whole
colony of bedbugs. Did you win the

1003
01:17:13.079 --> 01:17:15.720
shriek off with the wife or that
it was super I'm sure I did.

1004
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:17.760
Yeah, I always win. I
dominate. Yes, yeah, yeah,

1005
01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:23.680
yeah, I'm not gonna lose.
H you had to win it, yeah

1006
01:17:23.880 --> 01:17:29.039
yeah, yeah, yeah, I
mean dude. And then I'm just like,

1007
01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:33.399
I gotta tell this story. It's
yeah, I have to. And

1008
01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:39.560
then there was a moment too where
I'm not kidding. I thought I felt

1009
01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:43.000
bad for making fun of the dude
who burned his house. There's two different

1010
01:17:43.039 --> 01:17:46.439
ones because they were trying to get
spiderwebs out one of like garage rafters,

1011
01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:50.079
the other one in the basement or
something, and spider webs burned like a

1012
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:53.760
son of a gun. I don't
know if you guys know this. And

1013
01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:56.039
so he's got a whole house.
Well what did you think was gonna happen?

1014
01:17:56.039 --> 01:17:59.279
He burnt his house down. But
I was doing all the reading getting

1015
01:17:59.279 --> 01:18:01.560
to know the bedbugs and uh,
it's like they hate heat. And I'm

1016
01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:04.840
like, I got a blow torch
in one hand and a fire extinguished in

1017
01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:11.359
the other. That's safe, right, And I thought about it because I

1018
01:18:11.439 --> 01:18:15.479
was running. I was I ran
out of murder Spray had like a big

1019
01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:17.680
tall the raid you know, tick
flee whatever. It's got the bed bugs

1020
01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:20.680
on there but I used the whole
damn can, and there was like three

1021
01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:28.039
quarters when I started probably poisoned myself. So that was that was. That

1022
01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:32.000
was my Sunday. And now I
have the creepy Crawley's again to every time

1023
01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:33.640
I tell it, so I'm not
gonna tell it again. You want to

1024
01:18:33.640 --> 01:18:38.720
hear the full version, go to
the podcast. It's there for your first

1025
01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:44.199
hour. Oh all right, we
will be back. Hang on, have

1026
01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:46.800
we I'm trying to think we've known. It's never even been like talked about

1027
01:18:46.800 --> 01:18:51.119
with management. I remember I just
wanted a window for ten years because they

1028
01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:56.039
were gonna put us in the h
the old morning show studio for the organisation.

1029
01:18:56.239 --> 01:18:59.319
Yeah, people are always surprised to
learn that we're we're like nowhere like

1030
01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:02.079
in this his studio. Yeah yeah
yeah different. Ross is his studio,

1031
01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:11.319
It is mine is described as spartan. Ross is Mine is very cozy.

1032
01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:18.079
Cozy that's a good word. Yeah, very uh unique. And then he'll

1033
01:19:18.079 --> 01:19:24.000
put like signage to block his window
but also confuse people, and then he'll

1034
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:26.760
get a misspelled award and then he
hung that for like a year. So

1035
01:19:27.119 --> 01:19:30.880
you never know what you're gonna see
anyway. So there you go. Yeah,

1036
01:19:30.880 --> 01:19:35.000
that's no. Would you rather,
hey, would you rather help me

1037
01:19:35.239 --> 01:19:39.800
tree eye or clean up after the
dude hits the house today? Or help

1038
01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:45.039
a dude move out of an eight
bedroom house. I'd probably go with the

1039
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:46.319
movie. I don't know. Yeah, I don't want to risk bringing the

1040
01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:49.399
bugs back to the my house and
with Lincoln and stuff, so well,

1041
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:54.520
no, just go. You just
go in, walk into like a giant

1042
01:19:54.560 --> 01:19:58.760
industrial uh, like smelting nothing,
right, So all I need to do

1043
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:00.279
after I help you with the b
uggs if that were the case, We're

1044
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:03.600
to jump in like a giant like
a chemical plant, like the Joker in

1045
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:10.079
the Michael Keaton Batman movie. I
really feel heats the answer here, so

1046
01:20:10.119 --> 01:20:15.319
I think you gotta Yeah, but
yeah, you could do that whatever,

1047
01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:19.199
man, whatever makes you feel better, that's fine, Like crazy crazy day.

1048
01:20:19.399 --> 01:20:21.680
There's even other parts. I just
I'm not gonna go back into it.

1049
01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:25.960
But I just keep remembering different stuff, all right, I'll tell you

1050
01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:30.279
this one. There was a moment
while I was negotiating with the holdout in

1051
01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:35.039
the right ear right, Squatters writes
whatever, and I'd done the oil thing

1052
01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:38.760
once, I've done the water once. Then I did them both again and

1053
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:42.520
I'm like every time you do it, like he gives you this indication like

1054
01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:45.079
all right, all right, I
get it. I get it, and

1055
01:20:45.119 --> 01:20:47.720
then nothing. And now I've got
a little water in the ear too.

1056
01:20:47.800 --> 01:20:50.039
So I'm like doing the thing where
you're trying to jerk your head so it

1057
01:20:50.079 --> 01:20:56.680
comes out, because maybe he'll just
surf on out. And again my brain's

1058
01:20:56.720 --> 01:20:59.800
not with me. So I'm I
do this and I stand, I walk

1059
01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:02.079
out on my patio because water,
you know, water might come out.

1060
01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:08.680
And again my neighbors have to think
I am insane because now like I'm trying

1061
01:21:08.680 --> 01:21:12.920
to bite my ear or something,
and I'm dressed in like, uh poor

1062
01:21:13.039 --> 01:21:18.000
man poor man's bow hunting attire and
dress socks. There's all reason is gone.

1063
01:21:18.079 --> 01:21:20.159
And and by the way, if
you don't and so I had this

1064
01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:26.199
thought, well those didn't work.
I the goal is not to kill him.

1065
01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:29.000
I learned my lesson with the spider. But you got to be a

1066
01:21:29.039 --> 01:21:31.279
firm negotiator. So I'm gonna arder
the deal. This thing. I'm not

1067
01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:38.239
gonna spray the entire can of rate
in my ear, but maybe just a

1068
01:21:38.239 --> 01:21:42.079
little to know I mean business,
and it sprays the wrong word, like

1069
01:21:42.239 --> 01:21:45.880
yeah, I get a little get
the the essence of it, it's probably

1070
01:21:46.000 --> 01:21:49.039
Q tip or something. It's probably
bad because it's a nerve agent. So

1071
01:21:49.079 --> 01:21:54.399
I would it crossed my mind for
as long as it took me to explain

1072
01:21:54.439 --> 01:21:57.359
it. I'm like, that is
a horrible ideal. So I would be

1073
01:21:57.399 --> 01:22:00.479
better off, as I said,
just having John Wicks stick his insul in

1074
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:02.039
my ear, because then at least
I don't have to think about this anymore.

1075
01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:09.079
And you know, he's probably dead. So what today? What a

1076
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:15.600
day? Now? Arguably worst day
South Carolina. Sorry to make that transition,

1077
01:22:15.760 --> 01:22:19.640
but we're short on time. And
again another thing I feel bad.

1078
01:22:19.640 --> 01:22:24.359
I did the standard fourth of July
promom. Who's not gonna be able to

1079
01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:27.119
count to ten? What's gonna happen
in the world of fireworks? And then

1080
01:22:27.159 --> 01:22:30.319
the first to emerge. You see
the video of the dude in the in

1081
01:22:30.399 --> 01:22:34.560
the electric wheelchair and the kid lights
well, you know like a stack of

1082
01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:38.720
where there's like twelve of the box
that go off right next to him.

1083
01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:42.279
He's trying to have the dude light
it, and then the guy helps him

1084
01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:49.640
and then they're lit and he goes
to light he goes to the I'm gonna

1085
01:22:49.640 --> 01:22:51.800
get to the Sharon harristing here in
just a moment. I'm waiting. I'm

1086
01:22:51.800 --> 01:22:59.079
waiting for one other thing so to
chill out. So he he like,

1087
01:22:59.119 --> 01:23:01.560
I don't know if he turn earned
it off or what. But he's now

1088
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:05.600
directly next to us, and like
his thing isn't moving, his little joystate

1089
01:23:05.680 --> 01:23:09.920
it ain't working, and these things
are about to who the hell knows right,

1090
01:23:10.359 --> 01:23:13.600
And thankfully didn't get injured. But
after a few of them whatever,

1091
01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:16.079
it started moving. But the other
guy ran so far he couldn't even push

1092
01:23:16.119 --> 01:23:21.439
him. I know that's as bad
as it was. No, how do

1093
01:23:21.800 --> 01:23:28.439
we not know it's the m eighty
thing. Think about this, we're dealing

1094
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:30.439
fibers. If you have an am
eighty go off in your hand, it's

1095
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:33.359
gonna your hand's gonna get messed up. Surely you still have a hand,

1096
01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:39.840
probably mostly functional when you're done,
because it's not under pressure, so it

1097
01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:43.039
has even though it's gonna. You
know, it's harder for it to expand

1098
01:23:43.199 --> 01:23:46.760
against the hand. It has a
lot of and we can get into the

1099
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:49.760
physics of it, but that's you
know, it's a it's a much better

1100
01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:55.760
option. If you close your hand
has gone bye bye. Hand, you're

1101
01:23:57.880 --> 01:24:01.760
you're uh. I guess maybe creeping
people out who just instinctively shake with one

1102
01:24:01.760 --> 01:24:05.640
hand because your other one's gone and
they're gonna feel bad. So anyway,

1103
01:24:08.279 --> 01:24:11.399
this guy won a different route,
and the fact that it's coupled with this

1104
01:24:11.640 --> 01:24:17.399
like TikTok video thing is wild to
me. So this guy in South Carolina,

1105
01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:25.640
life of the party joker, you
know, get families there, he's

1106
01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:30.039
got friends there. He's always cutting
up what do they refer to him as

1107
01:24:30.439 --> 01:24:38.000
the show mooting but funny dad.
He has on a he has a super

1108
01:24:38.039 --> 01:24:43.239
Fourth of July, and to top
it off, he has a comically oversized

1109
01:24:43.279 --> 01:24:49.000
think turd ferguson SNL Jeopardy, the
cowboy hat like Uncle Sam top hat,

1110
01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:57.439
patriotic as a as a you know
what. And for some reason he decides

1111
01:24:58.479 --> 01:25:02.319
he's smoking a cigarette. He's doing
like a funny jig. He's in the

1112
01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:10.800
red, white and blue. Everything's
fine, and there's you can see like

1113
01:25:10.920 --> 01:25:15.039
smoke behind him, and then he
sla he's like doing finger guns, kicks

1114
01:25:15.039 --> 01:25:21.079
his feet and then it all goes
horribly wrong because that was a full on

1115
01:25:21.199 --> 01:25:27.960
mortar. And the mortar in question, when I say behind him was not

1116
01:25:28.439 --> 01:25:33.560
behind him, but rather on him. And this is a big boy,

1117
01:25:34.439 --> 01:25:42.520
it's on him. And it's further
problematic because he's got this the crazy hat

1118
01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:48.039
man, which even though it's big
for some of that size is it's a

1119
01:25:48.079 --> 01:25:54.920
horrible idea and he did not make
it. Uh what is he? He's

1120
01:25:55.079 --> 01:26:02.399
HVAC worker. So now now with
the jig, it's fine. I just

1121
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:04.600
want to I wanna be a bundlely
clear. So he's doing this this silly

1122
01:26:04.680 --> 01:26:12.479
video for those he's using something smaller, but then he had to keep up

1123
01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:19.680
being the ante and later on the
forty one year old according to family,

1124
01:26:21.039 --> 01:26:27.119
this is his wife. I thought
he was just showboating before he set it

1125
01:26:27.159 --> 01:26:33.520
on the ground as I watched him
pick up a large mortar lit and do

1126
01:26:33.600 --> 01:26:39.960
what he did with the other little
ones, put it on his head and

1127
01:26:40.199 --> 01:26:46.479
you're done. You're done. And
uh yeah, here's the And I don't

1128
01:26:46.560 --> 01:26:50.560
know why this is one of the
first things that cross my mind. Family's

1129
01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:58.760
there. Do you remember the awful
moon back college moonbats and just other distasteful

1130
01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:02.760
people who right as Trump got into
office, if anybody had an American flag,

1131
01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:06.880
they were triggered and they would like
lose their crap. So they just

1132
01:27:06.880 --> 01:27:11.680
couldn't fathom that somebody has an American
flag. And it wasn't just the trucks

1133
01:27:11.720 --> 01:27:14.680
with like four flying. But as
soon as you let them know that bother

1134
01:27:14.760 --> 01:27:16.520
you, then you know it was
just an up the antithing. But they

1135
01:27:16.520 --> 01:27:21.520
would like flip out on people who
had a bumper sticker that you know probably

1136
01:27:21.560 --> 01:27:26.800
been there for five years or something. Uh it is, we're having it

1137
01:27:27.119 --> 01:27:29.960
because it was so triggering. Well, you all are stupid. I don't

1138
01:27:29.960 --> 01:27:33.239
believe you this family. I will
say, if you're triggered by the American

1139
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:38.000
flag, I going for it.
I would understand. And like I can't

1140
01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:43.239
even imagine because you're in South Carolina, and South Carolina they did. They

1141
01:27:43.319 --> 01:27:47.800
loved them some flags. They love
any representation products you can't. South Carolina

1142
01:27:47.960 --> 01:27:51.880
is one of those states, not
the only one where the chances of you

1143
01:27:51.920 --> 01:27:57.720
coming across multiple flag representations on a
day where you just run a few errands

1144
01:27:57.720 --> 01:28:01.199
are very high. It's like it's
like if you're ever in a if you're

1145
01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:03.760
ever somewhere and there's a group of
guys in the store and they get a

1146
01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:08.359
little accent and trying to place it, you will know if they're from Texas,

1147
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:12.600
because somebody will have something referencing Texas
as as a garment. They can

1148
01:28:12.680 --> 01:28:15.520
have a Texas belt buckle, lone
star hat, whatever. Man. I

1149
01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:19.399
picked some dudes out in a grocery
store in another country one time, like

1150
01:28:19.439 --> 01:28:25.359
those are Texans, And I just
seen him across because the dude had the

1151
01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:32.000
he had the quintessential Texas hat and
belt buckle match, And of course they

1152
01:28:32.000 --> 01:28:38.439
all were so like if that's I
again, I mean, I don't even

1153
01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:41.279
know how to pick it apart other
than to say that's awful. I just

1154
01:28:41.359 --> 01:28:45.319
like, and then Fourth of July, which is one of the fun holidays,

1155
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:53.319
right, but I mean that sympathetically
because and then you're there and it's

1156
01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:56.920
just oh, it's the whole thing
is just horrible, man, but also

1157
01:28:57.000 --> 01:29:02.000
dumb as hell. Don't do that, right, just I don't build the

1158
01:29:02.039 --> 01:29:05.520
oil to the top to deep friar
Turkey raced agic from the Weather Channel.

1159
01:29:05.920 --> 01:29:10.239
I don't know if you actually did
that, but maybe you did. Got

1160
01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:14.840
close ones. I remember when that
first trend started. I'm like, does

1161
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:18.439
nobody understand how displacement works? And
it was clear they did not clearly,

1162
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:23.680
or they don't try to get you
throw it in there. Yeah that too,

1163
01:29:24.159 --> 01:29:27.000
but you know what, and now
you don't have a garage, so

1164
01:29:27.399 --> 01:29:31.159
good on you, so the Lord
you wouldn't. Yeah, it does,

1165
01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:35.760
it does, So any garage record
is coming our way. What's up?

1166
01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:40.640
I don't know. It stays hot
and humid the next few days upper eighties

1167
01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:44.640
to low nineties today, load to
mid nineties tomorrow and Wednesday. Storm chances

1168
01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:47.359
will be best during the afternoon,
how whurs otherwise hazy and warm. There

1169
01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:50.800
might even be some fog in spots
next few mornings, but the rain,

1170
01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:54.760
if you do get a thunderstorm,
we have the potential to produce some downpours

1171
01:29:54.800 --> 01:29:58.000
too, so hopefully that'll cool you
off just a bit. Boy, it

1172
01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:00.680
was a hot week and hot weekend. I don't see really temperatures going too

1173
01:30:00.760 --> 01:30:04.640
much below ninety degrees until maybe later
in the week, when, especially the

1174
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:09.800
Tria, you may end up in
the upper eighties rather than ninety or just

1175
01:30:09.800 --> 01:30:13.520
above ninety degrees. With the shower
thunderstorm chances with us each day here this

1176
01:30:13.600 --> 01:30:17.479
week, so another look like we're
gonna see widespread all day rain. I

1177
01:30:17.520 --> 01:30:20.720
think the better chances will come later
in the week. Hopefully everybody getting some

1178
01:30:21.640 --> 01:30:25.920
barrow did come on shores, a
Category one storm with eighty mile per hour

1179
01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:30.119
winds and now bringing wind and rain
and even some hurricane force wind gusts in

1180
01:30:30.199 --> 01:30:35.039
and around Houston and Galveston, water
rise and now power out to over a

1181
01:30:35.079 --> 01:30:39.279
million customers in the state of Texas. Obviously there's no flights in and out

1182
01:30:39.319 --> 01:30:44.079
at Hobby or Intercontinental and other regional
airports, so certainly call ahead and figure

1183
01:30:44.079 --> 01:30:46.239
out what your travel plans are if
you did have some travel plan to the

1184
01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:50.479
Great State of Texas, because even
Dallas could be impacted with some heavy rain

1185
01:30:50.520 --> 01:30:54.159
too. As we go through the
morning and into the afternoon, then all

1186
01:30:54.159 --> 01:30:57.720
that moisture get drawn up into the
Ohio Valley, the northeast New England as

1187
01:30:57.800 --> 01:31:00.960
either depression and or eventually a remnant
low, so rain will be in the

1188
01:31:00.960 --> 01:31:04.479
forecast, maybe Chicago, Detroit,
but especially to the south southeast of them,

1189
01:31:04.479 --> 01:31:08.520
and then some of that moisture gets
into the northeast, Dani Winga.

1190
01:31:08.600 --> 01:31:12.039
So we escape this one, but
I'm sure there'll be more. Do you

1191
01:31:12.079 --> 01:31:15.640
do a Texas station or not?
U daily? Yes? Actually do San

1192
01:31:15.640 --> 01:31:17.680
Antonio, Okay, yep, good, try to get him to shoot at

1193
01:31:17.680 --> 01:31:23.560
it. It's Florida and Texas,
I feel are convincible states sometimes. So

1194
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:26.680
all right, let me know how
that goes. Okay, Yanks, Yep,

1195
01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:29.479
dude, I'm the start and stuff. Anyway, we'll be back.

1196
01:31:29.520 --> 01:31:32.680
Hang on. Well, good morning, Casey. Stock's advanced in slow trading

1197
01:31:32.720 --> 01:31:38.199
on Friday, Investors hoping a gradual
cooling of the job market will help convince

1198
01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:43.600
Federal Reserve Board policymakers to start cutting
interest rates later this year. Futures are

1199

That long drama over the future of Paramount

1202
01:31:58.840 --> 01:32:02.920
Global is over. Paramount has agreed
to merge with Skydance Media in a complex

1203
01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:09.119
deal. Boeing agreed to plead guilty

Max crashes that killed a total of three

1205

hundred forty six people. Federal prosecutors
accused the airplane maker of violating an agreement

1206
01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:24.319
with the government. A couple of
the discount chains are launching sales ahead of

1207
01:32:24.359 --> 01:32:29.319
Amazon's Prime Day events scheduled for next
Tuesday and Wednesday. This is Circle Week

1208

at Target. The retailer has started
emailing offers to members of its loyalty program.

Walmart deals will be in effect today
through Thursday. And kids just starting

1210
01:32:38.800 --> 01:32:42.720
their summer vacations. Casey won't want
to hear this, but Target sent out

1211
01:32:42.720 --> 01:32:46.119
a news release this morning about back
to school deals. Oh you think that's

1212
01:32:46.119 --> 01:32:53.399
bad, Rosching? He's watching his
Christmas movies already. Yeah. Yeah,

1213
01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:59.560
I have a neighborhood website and one
of the people complained that Halloween was already

1214
01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:02.720
up the stores they visited. Well, and I probably bought candy. So

1215

01:33:16.880 --> 01:33:17.479
do worse for that.
