1
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:28.239
All right, good morning everybody in
happy Wednesday wed nest Day, or however

2
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:34.280
it's weirdly spelled. You do,
man, what uh? Don't let the

3
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.240
door hit your article but in reverse? This uh. I was just reading

4
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.000
this op ed from the La Times
this morning. I can't wait to get

5
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.079
get to this Sada Oliver treit Ross. Did you see the La Times uh

6
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:56.840
editorial addressing Californians that are fleeing?
Dude, dude, this is all right?

7
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.719
So La Times Uh Paul Thornton,
who is the opinion editor, has

8
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:11.760
penned a piece asking the soon to
be former citizens of California for a favor.

9
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.840
The piece entitled, Hey, if
you want to leave, fine,

10
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.879
but could you not insult us on
the way out? No, that's the

11
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:30.319
actual headline. Right. So,
apparently apparently such a staggering number of Californians

12
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.319
are fleeing, and there's been some
pretty high pro pile cases of individuals like

13
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.079
I don't know, Elon Musk,
right, who didn't just move his house.

14
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.920
He moved what was one of the
top ten, i want to say,

15
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:52.439
one of the top three largest companies
in California from a revenue generation standpoint,

16
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.040
right, So, because he wanted
to be able to make cars during

17
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.599
COVID and they're like, Nah,
you can't do that. Yes, that's

18
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:10.080
right. The La Times is beseeching
soon to be former Californians to not say

19
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.120
negative things about the state, and
went on to remind them that as they

20
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.360
move away, and I get,
you know what this is, this is

21
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.159
somewhat accurate. I guess, depending
on where they live. I have a

22
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:27.199
neighbor who moved from the Bay Area
and he lives in the really nice part

23
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.680
of the neighborhood. Technically it's not
in my neighborhood anymore. It's in I'll

24
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.240
tell you. I'll tell you where
he lives. He lives right at five

25
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.560
points. I live way down the
street where my houses, but he lives

26
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.840
right there. So if you're in
if you're in Raleigh and you're driving up

27
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.759
Glenwood and Fairview, he lives within
like two blocks that intersection. So you

28
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.759
understand the price of the houses we're
talking about. Bro moved from California and

29
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.400
paid cash and and like he didn't
he didn't even have a big house.

30
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.919
And thankfully he brought politics with them, but they were not California politics.

31
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.840
So there's that for you. And
so in the in the op ed,

32
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:14.879
in this weird, weird way,
the editors remind Californians who are leaving to

33
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:20.639
be thankful because as they leave California, due to the wonderful economy in California

34
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.479
and the housing prices, any any
equity they have in their home is going

35
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:32.639
to go a long way in many
of the places they move, and examples

36
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.719
include Nashville, North Carolina, the
Charlotte, they mentioned Charlotte and others,

37
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.759
and so that they should be very
thankful that they were able to build that

38
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.039
equity because of California's magnanimous nature or
something. It's it is holy crap,

39
00:03:51.120 --> 00:04:00.199
is it something? Yeah, So
we had this wildly expensive economy and taxed

40
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.840
accordingly, and now you're sick of
it, and you should thank us because

41
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.680
we forced you to be a richer
person. That's quite a take, man,

42
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.240
That is quite a take. You
know what it vibes with? Is

43
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.759
it? You know? Deblasio said
something like this one time, right,

44
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:26.959
he was asked about New Yorker's leaving
and he's like, well, you know,

45
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.079
those New York dollars they're going to
go a long way. And that's

46
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.360
quite I mean, that's a mindset, man. That's a mindset right there.

47
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:40.920
We've created this this economic situation where
it is untenable for people, and

48
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.800
as they leave, they should remind
themselves that the years they chose to suffer

49
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.319
through it, they're better for it. And I'm like, so, so

50
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.600
wait a say, that doesn't sound
like you defending how awesome your your your

51
00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.600
your place is there? Did you
hear what you just set or in this

52
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:11.040
case, what you just wrote.
That's like the only example I could think

53
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.240
of is like you grow up somewhere
like it's extreet. You know, you

54
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.000
grew up in some country where like
machete attacks were a thing, right,

55
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.439
and finally you were able to get
out of there, right you did whatever

56
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.000
legally. Let's go with legally,
because that's the distinction we have to make.

57
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.120
And like the former dictator who you
know who used rape as a weapons,

58
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.160
like, well, you know,
at least it's gonna be tough out

59
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.959
there. What a dumb take,
man, But you know it was very

60
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.759
amusing this morning, So I did
appreciate that. Oh hey, Ross,

61
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.079
let me ask you a question.
Do you have any relatives that like,

62
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:57.240
yeah, like you've had such little
interaction or the interaction was so similar each

63
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.079
time that like, if you had
to rack your brain, maybe had just

64
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.000
a just a couple memories that stick
out. I mean, you know,

65
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.519
extended relatives. I'm sure everyone's got
one. I'm assuming you have one.

66
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.360
Yeah, I can think of one. Yeah, okay, all right.

67
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.279
So one of those in my family
he passed away. Yeah, he passed

68
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.160
away two days. They passed away
on Monday. But I found out yesterday

69
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:26.920
and did uh for those of you
out there, did you all ross you

70
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.959
saw the new True Grit? Right? The Coen Brothers. I thought,

71
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.079
how how how weird is it that
there's two of a movie and you're like,

72
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.439
yeah, that I like them both. I mean it's Hollywood, right,

73
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.240
So it's like that was that was
a rare win. And you remember

74
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:49.279
the scene where they have they've gone
to the cabin and did their visit with

75
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:54.480
that dude, and now they're they're
making their way further into the Arkansas territory

76
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:00.439
and there's a dude hanging in the
tree, right, and they take the

77
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.040
dude down and then they pass through. And then a little while later they're

78
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:10.360
like, somebody's following us, and
they stop and here comes the worst version

79
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.120
of Jeremiah Johnson you've ever seen,
and he's got that body sloped over his

80
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.319
mule and he tries to like sell
it to him for teeth or something.

81
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.519
Do you remember that? I do
remember that, Sorry for the loss,

82
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:23.800
by the way, that was him, not the actual actor, but like

83
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.560
the dude that was based off of. And well I appreciate that too,

84
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.720
by the way, but I had
very little interaction with him. And the

85
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:38.639
reason was is he's a relative.
Because there's one my dad's oldest brother is

86
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:46.720
quite a bit older than him,
and so like and the cousins run the

87
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:54.120
gamut. They have three biological kids
that are much older than me, and

88
00:07:54.199 --> 00:08:00.800
they have five adopted kids from the
Philippines. So yeah, you big family,

89
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:07.680
a whole deal there. And then
one of them is the the oh

90
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.360
what is I'm sorry I forgot?
Is right, he's the highest enlisted rank

91
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.759
in the army and he's he's done
now, but highest enlisted rank in the

92
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.399
army achievable, right, So he
did his whole life there and he anyway,

93
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.959
so that family, but he's quite
a bit older than me. And

94
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.240
this one of my cousins married this
girl who was the daughter of this guy,

95
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.240
so that is the relative connection.
We're not blood relatives any of that,

96
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.559
but that family I come. I
came to find out that, like

97
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:48.399
she was in high school before they
had an indoor toilet. And this isn't

98
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.519
you know, this is not the
nineteen fifties. This is a household in

99
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.759
the nineties in Wyoming, so it's
still like the old like the ultimate mountain

100
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.960
man. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah yeah. And her youngest brother,

101
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.799
who's way younger than her, was
in my grade. His name was

102
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.000
Josh. He was He was an
interesting cat. He was very quiet,

103
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.240
so I wouldn't say that we were
friends, but you know, but that

104
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.559
was just his nature. So anyway, that's who married in and I and

105
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.759
when we were kids. He was
also the dude that was kind of scary

106
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.559
to little kids, but he was
He was a fine dude. But what

107
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:31.279
was crazy is other than just some
you know, little interactions here. I

108
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.039
only really had one memory of him, and it made me laugh because I

109
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:41.360
hadn't thought about it. And it
was like the one time he like injected

110
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.879
himself into family stuff. And I
remember part of it. And then my

111
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.000
mom explained it to a little more
when I was older, because she thought

112
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.840
it was hilarious. So he showed
up at at the school and it was

113
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:03.440
Halloween, and he showed up because
Josh, you know, his youngest son

114
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.039
was there. And he showed up
and he I remember talking to him,

115
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.720
and then later I went over.
I went home and he is at my

116
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.600
house and he kind of walks out. He'd been talking to my mom and

117
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.480
had some like weird look on his
face and didn't say anything. He was

118
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:28.200
always very quiet, dude. He
was concerned over my fascination with turtles and

119
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.240
why I would want to be a
turtle on Halloween because he thought it was

120
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.639
he thought it was not very masculine. And my mom had to explain to

121
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.600
him that I was not just a
turtle. I was a Ninja turtle.

122
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.879
He had no concept of the Ninja
Turtles. And this was in the meat

123
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.519
of it, right, this is
lunchbox. You're also talking about a family

124
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.879
that possibly at this point had had
running water in the house, right,

125
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.240
So I'm doubting, and he never
seen the Ninja turtles before, you know,

126
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.360
this would have been just shy of
running water. Well, they had

127
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.759
running water, they didn't have a
bathroom as what it was, so like

128
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.039
they they they piped in stuff and
then but they he didn't bother build a

129
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.039
bathroom. Although it wasn't just a
standard outhouse, it was like kind of

130
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.559
connected. But you started to walk
outside, it was it was super strange,

131
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.679
but well, you know, it
worked whatever. But yeah, and

132
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.960
the look on his face walking out
was like like, even after she explained

133
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.200
to him, he like just acquiesced, but he never understood it. And

134
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.279
I just thought it was so strange
because I was so excited. We had

135
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.799
a great costume back in the day. Dude, my mom, my mom,

136
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.440
like your wife's good at like sewing
stuff and making stuff, She's awesome

137
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.440
about it. Right, My mom
was pretty good at that too, And

138
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:50.679
she transformed a box into the most
amazing shell right cardboard box. When you

139
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.080
open it and then kind of crimp
it together. All you gotta do is

140
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.200
kind of like bend it and then
tape it up and color it and uh

141
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.200
it. And she meant and I
was so excited for this thing, which

142
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.000
when you're a kid, you're excited, and then I think, about ten

143
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.039
minutes into wearing it, I was
not excited anymore as per usual, but

144
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.720
but he was so like and I
could not understand it. I thought it

145
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.480
was in trouble. It was racking
my brain. Other than that's like the

146
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.360
only big memory I have of this
dude. And now it's hilarious. We

147
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.519
had my mom explaining Ninja turtles to
him and him being disgusted. Which turtle

148
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.759
were you? Because that could explain
it. You weren't don Tello, right,

149
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.960
No, god, no, oh
yeah, that's why probably if you

150
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.240
were Donaello, he'd fleet to the
mountains. He's like, I'm out,

151
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.960
Well, he lived in the mountains. He lived a way, he'd yeah,

152
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.120
you go we to the top.
Yeah, they lived off the road.

153
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.120
It was called muddy Guard. And
the reason it was called muddy guard

154
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.799
is it was a It was called
a weather road, and that means you're

155
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.200
subject to the weather because we knew
anything to maintain it. And like they

156
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.480
would, Josh should not show up
for school for like weeks after a big

157
00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:01.120
snowstorm. It was crazy. Man
and his wife passed away right around the

158
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.200
right around this. Now he she
would have passed away a little after this,

159
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.519
and like they were, they were
super self sufficient. But yeah,

160
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:18.399
no, I was Michelangelo, and
I had like a rebar where I had

161
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.360
where my uncle attacked welded like a
handle on it. It was the most

162
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.840
ghetto sword you've ever seen. But
I wasn't gonna be Rafael. I felt

163
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.320
bad for those kids. What are
those weapons? Even? I have to

164
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.000
assume the other Turtles can beat the
crap out of Rafayel. You know,

165
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.799
Raphael is the most popular Turtle now, you know that, right? Like

166
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.679
people are because of his attitude.
They like his attitude. Okay, well,

167
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.279
look when you're in the you know, when you're in the octagon,

168
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.360
so to speak. Uh is is
that what counts? That? You remember

169
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.759
the movie when he was up on
top of the roof, like taking on

170
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.840
like fifty of the foot by himself. You're talking not the new the new,

171
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:56.919
the one we saw when we were
kids. Yeah, yeah, okay,

172
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.440
good because I didn't watch the new
one. I just couldn't. Yeah.

173
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.000
No, the popularity of the Turtles
has always been I would probably say

174
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:09.440
Michaelangelo was always less popular Raphael,
Leonardo and Donatello. You think Donatello was

175
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.000
last? Of course he was last. He was the nerd and he had

176
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.879
a stick. Nobody liked Donatello.
Yeah, but that stick, but nobody

177
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.960
likes Donatello. Would you rather have
a length weapon or something where you have

178
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.480
to get I know that, but
the personality has a lot to do with

179
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.840
it. And Donatello was the nerd
of the group. Nobody liked Donatello and

180
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.519
Leo was a close one. But
Leo was boring too. He was like

181
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.960
Vanilla. Okay, you know when
he was in when he was in that

182
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.759
Pow camp, you could argue that
the Russian interrogator slash Torture had a lot

183
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.080
more personality than Rambo. Right right, Hey, I'm telling you how it

184
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.559
is. I don't want you to
embarrass yourself out here. Well I embarrassed

185
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.799
my uncle, all right, Well
I called him an uncle. He's obviously

186
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.840
I don't know he'd be an uncle, but yeah, yeah, yeah,

187
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.639
yeah, yeah, he was embarrassed. And I wanted to be a turtle

188
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.399
and he was like f yeah,
he's like, uh, what's wrong with

189
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.000
this kid? You're tell you're a
lunatic. Yeah, turtles don't do martial

190
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.679
arts. Ah well what slaps you? Yeah? Yeah, you know that

191
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.159
creek you dump all of your tractor
fluid. It that's how you get turtles.

192
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.519
That's how you get turtles. John
So anyway, but yeah, yeah,

193
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.919
that was the thing. So it's
just weird what you remember, man,

194
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.759
Just like the one offs. I
have a couple of relatives like that.

195
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.440
I'm sure you all do too.
You're just like, oh yeah,

196
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.840
yeah, yeah, that that thing. The one time I have an uncle

197
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.600
called that we nick nay, it
was nicknamed uncle Smoke And I still don't

198
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:35.759
know why he didn't smoke, but
they said he used to. So there

199
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.919
you go. All right, hang
on, we'll be back keeping you connected.

200
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.679
This is ninety four to five w
PTI and the Triad and one six

201
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:50.480
one FM Talk and the Triangle.
All right, good morning everybody, and

202
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:58.120
welcome back, six thirty five and
hitting ye old halfway mark. A little

203
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.600
rain but is uh a little drizz
and we'll talk to Ray coming up.

204
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:08.440
But as that moves in, obviously
the warmer temperatures, so you know that's

205
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.519
the trade off, but it's a
January trade off. I think a lot

206
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:18.960
of people are willing to make.
All right, dude, do there we

207
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.039
go? All right? So I'm
scam, I'm sca. I can't wait

208
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:29.200
to talk about this. This is
great. Oh Ross, Oh no,

209
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:30.559
you know what, never mind.
I was going to ask you for something

210
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.960
then I realized I still have it
on the button bar okay, all right,

211
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:45.960
so any who, yesterday Israel proffered
a ceasefire. Did you hear about

212
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:53.120
this? Because this is what everyone, I understand wanted, all the students,

213
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.919
all the protesters, all the idiots. The damn near ran me over

214
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:03.839
at that roundabout in front of n
State with their their stupid parade that violated

215
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:10.200
about nine laws, almost injured people, and yet apparently as a regular enough

216
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:11.640
thing that I talked to my police
buddies like, yeah, that's a thing.

217
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.359
So they offered a ceasefire all of
y'all who wanted that. Uh what

218
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.440
what do they want in return?
All right, let me just set the

219
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.920
stage here because this is very important
as we go through the update. Uh,

220
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:33.640
they wanted the hostages released, but
that sounds kind of reasonable. Huh

221
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.640
your whole No, we still have
Americans being held or at least uh you

222
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:44.119
know, dual citizens, but you
know Americans. So yeah, you want

223
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.920
to you want to cease fire the
San France obviously this was pushed forward by

224
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:55.759
San Francisco's City Council's resolution. I'm
sure that's what drove it. And uh

225
00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.519
yeah, they offered it up in
exchange for the release of the hostages.

226
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:06.559
And specifically they had a list of
the hostages, and that's important because it

227
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.200
disallows them saying, well, look, the some of the hostages they want

228
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.400
are you know, they're spies and
that's not what we're here to negotiate.

229
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.319
They listed, you know, the
standard folks that were rounded up, who

230
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:26.680
are clearly, unless there's something I
guess we don't know, are probably not

231
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.000
Israeli spies. Like you know,
that ten year old is probably not an

232
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.200
Israeli spy. I think, although
to be fair, these are the same

233
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.720
idiots who what they remember they captured
an eagle that they thought was a Jewish

234
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:47.920
spy and killed it because it had
it was banded, and it was on

235
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.880
the band there was Jewish writing and
it was from it was like some from

236
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.480
the university or something. Obviously a
Jewish spy. So so they offered the

237
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.960
ceasefire. All of you have been
out protesting, blocking traffic, chanting from

238
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.480
the river to the sea, like
you don't know what it means. The

239
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:11.359
ceasefire was offered. Hamas has rejected
the ceasefire. So that's done, right,

240
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.640
All of that, all of that
lunacy is done with city councils.

241
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.480
And uh, there was one in
this small town in Iowa of like a

242
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.920
thousand people. I don't know how
they got all those moonbats packed in there,

243
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:30.599
but they advocated everyone wanted a ceasefire. The ceasefire was offered and Hamas

244
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:37.079
has rejected it. So there you
go. You got what you wanted.

245
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.640
Do you go protest Hamas? I
think you have to write because correct me

246
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.160
if Ross correct me if I'm wrong. They were protesting anyone and everyone,

247
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:56.200
including child cancer patients, anyone they
thought was standing in the way of a

248
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:02.000
ceasefire, which is obviously an eight
year old with you know, leukemia.

249
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.559
I get you got to go protest
to most They're the only thing standing in

250
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.839
the way here. Now I feel
like we need to get a you know,

251
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.400
maybe some travel options. I'm sure
folks would kick in a few bucks

252
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:23.720
to get you over there that's done, or or other option, rather than

253
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.519
you know, going over there and
talking to the people who are now standing

254
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:32.680
officially in the way of this thing. You want you can continue to do

255
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.960
large scale theater performance in front of
the White House. I have to admit

256
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.799
I heard there were some idiots up
there pretending to be like Israel and you

257
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:47.319
know, like and then other protesters
were pretending to be the Palestinians and it

258
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.799
was this kabuki theater where they were. It looked like the first the first

259
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.319
part of the mini series of Roots. And I'm not exaggerate Ross you dubbed

260
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:57.480
in the video today, Right,
that's the look they were going for.

261
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:06.160
They were straight up up like it
was. It was and it was aggressive.

262
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.359
And the dude dressed is the jew
I don't know why I laughed,

263
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.599
it was just it was so ridiculous. So they have guy like in a

264
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.720
storm Trooper camo set up with you
know, he's got the face covered and

265
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.920
all that, but he has a
big Jewish flag on and so he is

266
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.759
the persecutor in this in this weird
bit of theater outside of the White House.

267
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.640
And then a bunch of other shirtless
uh moonbats are the Palestinians. Uh,

268
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.359
And they're just very It's so weird. Yeah, the person playing the

269
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.880
like the Jewish person is looks like
Jeremy Renner and the hurt Locker. But

270
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:47.960
it's also a female, like super
aggressive, is it? Is it?

271
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.400
Though? I mean, are we
sure a good point? Yeah? I

272
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.240
know, I don't know, But
like everywhere this whole this whole fever dream

273
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.519
has been en. And I again, this is not about me telling you

274
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.200
I'm not advocating for Israel either.
I'm just I'm like, I'm simply like

275
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:14.000
I normally do, because I genuinely
start at a negative one for everybody and

276
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:18.480
everything, right, I'm not even
indifferent to most people. I'm I'm generally

277
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.720
like, I just assume you're gonna
be waste my time. And it's not

278
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.640
even an ego thing. It's just
like, I'm just really, I guess

279
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:32.400
maybe I'm just lazy doing the interactions
because we do it for a living and

280
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:37.559
it's nothing personal. But like,
I understand people got beef all over and

281
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.559
I don't I honestly most of the
time. Like if it's your beef,

282
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:47.920
handle your beef kind of thing.
So I understand people are passionate, but

283
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.599
like it's so over the top when
you see the reporting versus the reality on

284
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.920
the ground, and you understand some
of the military stuff, and yeah,

285
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:03.039
you also understand that it's a war
of of in the press in the same

286
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:08.400
way that Ukraine Russia is too,
right, So that's fine, But once

287
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.319
you are offered exactly what you want, I feel like it kind of stimies

288
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:17.400
you. And yet I don't feel
that they're gonna stop doing this this weirdness.

289
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.240
All right, so listen to this. This is this is going on

290
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:23.759
in front of the White House the
other day. These are just normal people,

291
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:30.000
absolute normal people. Nothing to see
here. Get on your knees.

292
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:37.720
What the animals? You like being
old? You like being hungry? That

293
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:45.440
the animal should be. That's Ross's
woman by the way, right there by

294
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.440
the way. Did you find any
irony in her asking them if they're hungry,

295
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.599
why'd you take all my food?
It looks like they didn't. I

296
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.200
have had a meal in five seconds. Yeah, it looks like she retained

297
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:03.559
most of the most of the uh
MRIs or whatever. All right, anyway

298
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:15.480
back to uh this person, how
about your old Lamas? Yeah? Which

299
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.200
Ira, here's the ironic, the
ironic part two. She's kind of making

300
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:26.240
Israel's case right because she's identifying the
people that are being held captive as Hamas

301
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:33.599
rather than just Palestinians like the right, which is the line that normal people

302
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:40.200
draw, like they can recognize that
there's Palestinians that probably are not fans of

303
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:45.000
Hamas, and but that's that's where
they live, and they don't have the

304
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:51.839
resources necessarily break away, and Hamas
was even stopping people from leaving and you

305
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.599
but you can also recognize Hamas's Hamas
and they were making uh you know,

306
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:00.160
uh spring break rape videos. So
so and you sit there and do that,

307
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.640
you're kind of making the point of
that right there. They that was

308
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.440
denied by I don't know, three
college professors. Trus you Tess, you

309
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:18.799
knew, Neil Trus you knew,
just you knew. How have you belong

310
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:32.680
he this is the chosen lad of
Israel. Now anybody moved, you will

311
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:44.440
die onnest. Thank you. This
is not dubbed by We did not add

312
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:52.000
sound effects. Keep money. So
this is going on in front of the

313
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.079
White House. By the way,
I have a question. So let's say

314
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:03.160
a group of conservative protesters rout in
front of the White House. They just

315
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.839
had the march for the anti abortion
march. Okay, all right, you

316
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.680
didn't see a lot of coverage.
I'm sure that was just an oversight of

317
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.359
the part of the media. But
that happened last weekend. I have to

318
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:22.839
think if one hundred pro life protesters
were doing some sort of theatrical performance which

319
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:29.440
included literally the discharge of things meant
to sound like gunfire right in front of

320
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.599
the White House. That I don't
know. I feel like it would have

321
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.279
ended different. That's just me.
But I also feel like this chick didn't

322
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:42.960
research her role very well, Like
how generic it was almost she was out

323
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:47.079
of stuff to say. She wants
them to kneel and if everybody it's like

324
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:52.799
she watched the first part of the
movie Heat and then channeled that into her

325
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.759
Jewish tormentor character. But now you
got what you want. It's your theater

326
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:03.480
paid off. What do you do? What do you do it? It's

327
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:06.519
the big gaping hole in this story
that I'm looking for. I was scrolling

328
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:11.359
Twitter looking at some of the you
know, the people who are the river

329
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.119
to the Sea folks, and like, apparently they're busy. They're busy talking

330
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:21.279
about other stuff, doing other things. But it was a ceasefire for the

331
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:30.759
release of hostages, identified hostages that
are just you know, Jewish citizens or

332
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.920
dual citizens that you decided, and
some of them are not even Jewish.

333
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:41.599
I think there's there's some folks that
are either non religious or there's there was

334
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.960
two Christians, although they released the
Christian lady and her son who were just

335
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:49.960
happened to be over there. So
there it is, and I'll be very

336
00:27:51.039 --> 00:28:00.039
interested to see today how that moves
forward. What is this? How did

337
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.279
Biden? Oh you no, No, we'll get to the new Hampshire thing.

338
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.359
That whole thing's weird, man,
We'll get to the new Hampshire thing,

339
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.200
because yes, Trump one and Biden
one. But there's on the Biden

340
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.279
side. There's a little interesting backstory, but not really. It's not a

341
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:19.920
big state and it was it was
a circumstance that rose from a beef with

342
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:25.759
the party and the National Party,
the state party in the National Party.

343
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.839
So yeah, we will get into
those details, but it's not that interesting.

344
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.880
And then Nikki Haley was second.
I know you're surprised, although it

345
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.960
was it was much closer than say, in Iowa, just not in Gobbler's

346
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:42.480
Knob or Dick still notch. So
we'll get to the details on that and

347
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.519
let's see here. Yeah all right, yeah, well chataway. I'm sorry.

348
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:51.400
I was just looking at my calendar
here. Why did I think it

349
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.960
was Thursday today? Hey? Ross, can we just pretend it's Thursday?

350
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:57.880
Yes? How about Friday? Can
we pretend it's Friday? I can't believe

351
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:00.640
we're here on a Saturday, is
it? So? Oh my gosh,

352
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.480
what do we know? Go home? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

353
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.680
Yeah. And you know, you
know those days where you think it's

354
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:11.799
a different day. You don't just
do it once, you just I know

355
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.599
that at several other points today,
for whatever reason, we'll think it's Thursday.

356
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.920
I don't know why human brains do
that, or maybe it's just mine.

357
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:29.559
Anyway, six forty eight Hang on, This is one O six one

358
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:37.519
FM Talk in the Triangle and News
TALKPTI and the Triad. All right,

359
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.240
I have a question, and let's
go ahead and get this going. What's

360
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:53.799
going on over at NASA as well
as with NASA's partners in the exploration of

361
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.839
space, you know, the folks
who run the various telescopes all of that.

362
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:03.519
I'm asking because NASA used to be
you know, it was it was

363
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.839
about the science, man, and
it was fascinating. What was fascinating is

364
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:18.160
the science and the capacity for a
learning curve. And then by the way,

365
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.000
this is it. Please don't call
with We didn't go to the moon,

366
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:26.680
right, so we'll we'll have that
another day, okay, but for

367
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:33.279
today, like if you look at
the technology of nineteen. When did Kennedy

368
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:38.640
make that speech sixty two sixty three
right where he's like, hey, we're

369
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:44.880
gonna go the moon suck at Russians? Right, So, like, if

370
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:49.880
you look at all of the technology, which by today's standards is less than

371
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:56.079
your smartphone ever even thought of being, but the learning curve that was necessary

372
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.519
to go there, I mean,
that was that was more. It was

373
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.519
more than just the images of dudes
bouncing around on the moon. It was

374
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.599
and I wasn't alive for it.
So I have to like vicariously through news

375
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:14.240
reporting, like the excitement of getting
there and the tragedy of getting there.

376
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.880
We lost astronauts obviously, you know, we famously we had three astronauts die

377
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:23.559
in a fire in a simulator,
right, and everything that went to it

378
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.480
really speaks to the phenomenal serious nature
of what they were doing. And now,

379
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.559
whenever I see a story about an
asteroid, you tell me it's measurements

380
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:42.279
in African planes, animals? What
are we doing? And also this name

381
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:51.440
a small rock. An asteroid is
set to fly near the Earth this week.

382
00:31:52.440 --> 00:32:00.359
The object estimated to be five giraffes
wide. Okay, first of all,

383
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:05.599
giraffes aren't known for their width.
What did we remember? We had

384
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:07.599
a story that was two weeks ago
or whatever last week where they were they

385
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:12.440
were commenting on the size of a
woman's rear end. But it sounded perfectly

386
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.200
reasonable. I can't remember what they
said. It was certain number of things

387
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.839
white, oh, axe handles,
axe handles wise, like she's her butt's

388
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:21.799
five axe handles wide. And I'm
looking, I'm thinking of an axe handle

389
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:23.960
like the axe I have, And
I'm like, that seems perfectly normal.

390
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.039
But don't tell me, asteroid mat
how many feet is it? Why?

391
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:31.839
How would I know how wide a
giraffe is? When you think of a

392
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.839
giraffe in your mind, you picture
the width of it, you picture the

393
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:43.240
height of it, right, And
most people I don't even know what a

394
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.079
giraffe on averages high. I've just
had to visualize it. But I also

395
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:50.359
I do know what eighty two feet
is, which I had to go find,

396
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:55.359
which is the actual width of the
object, which I would never if

397
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:00.559
I wanted to tell ross something was
eighty two feet okay. So if I

398
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.119
if I'm like the vikings need to
pick up thirty yards okay, or roughly

399
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:09.119
thirty yards, it's third and thirty. You'd be like, oh my gosh,

400
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:13.319
that's a long way to go,
right, can cousins make the throw?

401
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:15.920
But I would never be like,
yeah, they just oh man,

402
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:22.759
they just need you know, five
giraffes. So stupid, it's so unseerious.

403
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:29.240
It's like somebody wants me to learn
about giraffes and I refuse. But

404
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.279
then I started thinking, which giraffes
do you mean? Because while I don't

405
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:36.000
think of them for their width,
there's one that I do hold on for

406
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:59.319
that. Hang on, all right, good morning and welcome. It is

407
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:06.759
seven oco here on the KCO Day
radio program. Little weather transition or a

408
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:12.760
stage being a billion on more but
little rain, depending on where you're at

409
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.280
today. Nothing crazy, but feeling
better. We like that we're just talking

410
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:21.440
about NASA and how like I don't
understand if it was a one time thing,

411
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.280
fine, but like I've noticed this
as a trend. And off the

412
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:29.679
air, Ross and I retired,
and he was like, why do they

413
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:34.119
keep doing this? Because they keep
doing it. They keep randomly telling us

414
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:43.079
about space stuff and for measurement they
use random objects instead of feet or meters.

415
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.119
If I guess if it's the European
space people or whatever. I don't

416
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:51.079
care, but like I could wrap
my head around eighty two feet, so

417
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:55.199
this need to sit there and go. It's five giraffes wide, which I

418
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:59.760
think is meant. I think they
think it's a hook because it's given obviously

419
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.679
I'm talking about it. So it
worked because I'm like, Okay, even

420
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:06.559
if you wanted to tell me something
was wide, wouldn't you pick a white

421
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.079
animal because the giraffe is not a
white animal. It's a tall animal.

422
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:15.199
If you're gonna pick a feature of
something, because that. One of the

423
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:16.599
other things they use is they use
like a car. I think it was

424
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:20.679
like a Toyota camera or whatever,
which is I guess I can envision a

425
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.360
camry. But they went it's like
I think I can remember what they said.

426
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:29.000
They're like, it's thirteen cameras tall. Well, now use the giraffe

427
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:30.360
if you're gonna go tall, use
the car if you're gonna go along.

428
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:39.159
What are you doing? But that's
what that's what they did. By the

429
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:49.719
way, that's all. That's just
one minor point on this. The small

430
00:35:49.920 --> 00:36:00.440
rock dubbed the BJ and then the
year in which is so it's the twenty

431
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:07.760
twenty four BJ. We'll tweet the
story. You think I'm lying, we're

432
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:13.840
not. We'll tweet the story.
The small rock called twenty twenty four BJ

433
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.000
will fly past Earth and the Moon
in just a few days. It was

434
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:24.239
discovered only last week. What now, look twenty five meters eighty two feet

435
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:31.760
across. That's not considered a civilization
ender. But it would suck immensely.

436
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:37.599
It would. It would be very
effective at depopulating much of the Earth.

437
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:43.320
But it's not going to dinosaur Us
or whatever. But I you know,

438
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:45.400
but it is a thing, and
you want to communicate that it's a thing

439
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:53.000
because obviously there are people who from
an amateur perspective, they love, you

440
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:57.320
know, staring up at the sky
and stuff, and they're you know,

441
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.119
and and they track this kind of
stuff, and that's cool. If that's

442
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:06.199
your hobby, that's great. So
of those those telescopes, oh my gosh,

443
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.719
Like I thought, like you could
probably get the one. Somebody told

444
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:12.880
me the cost of one of the
telescopes they have, and I'm like,

445
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:15.960
dude, that's a car. But
hey, you know, if it works

446
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.719
for you, great. So anyway, so you know, you want people

447
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.039
to know it's there, that's fine. That's great, but just tell me

448
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:29.000
eighty two feet. Just tell me
the BJ is eighty two feet. Like

449
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:32.280
I have to assume you're just screwing
with this over at NASA with the wide

450
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:39.519
giraffe and then the naming of that, right, But tell the people because

451
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:44.159
people are going to question you.
Remember the video that that asteroid that came

452
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:47.519
in or meteorite that came in in
Russia. That thing was the size of

453
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:52.199
like half of a car, and
it was visually amazing because of what it

454
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:55.840
does is it enters the earth atmosphere. Now this isn't expected to do that.

455
00:37:55.960 --> 00:38:02.559
It's gonna be it'll be slightly for
other than the moon. But oh

456
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:06.360
no, so going to be just
inside the moon ninety two percent of the

457
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.119
average distance from the Earth and the
Moon. So two hundred and twenty thousand

458
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:14.360
miles ross. How many giraffes wide
is two hundred and twenty thousand miles?

459
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:19.280
Can you make that conversion? No, he can't because that's not a natural

460
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:24.159
conversion. That's not a button on
the calculator people. And again, giraffes

461
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:30.480
wide is dumb, with the exception
of one giraffe where I do think of

462
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.079
it in width. So when I
was in when I went to Santa Barbara

463
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.440
after high school, went there for
school, and if you had a college

464
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:42.360
ID, you could get into the
zoo for like next to nothing, and

465
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.239
it was it was a really cool
zoo. Santa Barbara has an amazing zoo

466
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:52.880
based on how nice it is versus
the population size. And it's because Santa

467
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:59.760
Barbara is incredibly wealthy, like you
had that and now they're dealing with Prince

468
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:05.360
har But whatever. Yeah, and
I like I go the zoo. They

469
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:08.719
and I've told you they on Valentine's
Day they did this big fundraiser where you

470
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:14.519
could show up and uh, the
best chefs would be there and they'd walk

471
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:19.079
around and watch the animals hook up. I always thought that was a little

472
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.840
weird. But you couldn't get a
ticket to that. That was That was

473
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:29.880
Mucho de Niro, all right.
So but there there was one thing in

474
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.719
the zoo that became the identity of
that zoo, and it was a giraffe.

475
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.920
They had multiple giraffes, but they
had one giraffe in particular, who

476
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:49.800
is now deceased. Hold On,
I remember the giraffe's name. Oh,

477
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:52.119
come on, hold on, hold
on. We got a crazy, crazy

478
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:57.280
video of a Colorado pastor. We'll
get to that here in just a moment.

479
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.039
But they had this, uh,
this giraffe the Santa Barbara Zoo whose

480
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:07.119
neck instead of just going up,
it was in an L shape. It

481
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:09.320
looked like an upside down L.
And I'm not exaggerating, Ross, I

482
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:14.239
sent you a photo of this giraffe, right, Yes, we're horribly deformed.

483
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:20.159
Yeah, yeah, Like, and
that that giraffe was the It sold

484
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.440
tickets. People would go to see
that giraffe, and there was a there

485
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:30.400
was undeniably a love within the community
of that giraffe due to the fact that

486
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:37.599
it looked like no other giraffe I
had ever seen. Jemina was the giraft's

487
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:42.199
name there. And so the giraff's
neck could go up about two thirds of

488
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:45.239
the way and then went straight to
the right, and then its head would

489
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:50.159
then be kind of kind of bend
back, so it looked but that's what

490
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:53.639
this giraffe looked like. And I
remember being weirded out because I'm like that

491
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:59.239
that thing. Line would be pooping
that thing out like two months after it

492
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.719
was born, Like, but it's
in a zoo, so that's fine.

493
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:07.119
But I remember the thing that I
thought was weird is they would sell merch

494
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:08.760
with the giraffe, and the draft
with it was on the zoo logo.

495
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:14.840
I don't think it is anymore,
but which definitely piques your interest. But

496
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.599
yeah, they would say they had
necklaces, and what was weird is because

497
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:21.840
a necklace, you want it when
it hangs, You want it to be

498
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:25.440
weighted so it hangs straight. So
they had it had like a larger crook

499
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:31.119
to its neck and you could buy
these way overpriced, busted, busted giraffe

500
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:37.880
necklaces where it just had this crooked
l neck thing in it. And I'm

501
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.480
just looking at this thing, and
I'm like that, what is that giraffe

502
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:45.280
thinking? Right? Or thousands of
people are rolling by this stare at it.

503
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:49.360
It's just like to make that like
the focus to me of your zoo

504
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:52.280
where you're profiting off this animal's deformity, Like what are you gonna do when

505
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.159
it passes away? Oh yeah,
no, no, no, no,

506
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:58.639
this is I had this conversation because
one other thing that they had is they

507
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:02.360
had like the largest collect of camels, which doesn't sound interesting until you realize

508
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:07.119
how many different camel breeds there are. And they had like a train that

509
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:08.760
would go through. It was really
it was really well done. And the

510
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:12.760
draft was kind of the after the
camel's there. But I can just see

511
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.039
the zoo keeper when Jimina died,
like going into the camel thing with a

512
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:19.239
sledgehammers, like, all right,
who wants to be famous? Right?

513
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.960
Which the animal? Are you gonna
hobble next? That's so dark? But

514
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:27.519
that thing was, uh, I
think it was crazy looking, dude,

515
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:34.079
yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I even, like eighteen nineteen

516
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:37.480
year old me was weirded out by
that. I'm like, we had a

517
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:39.400
cow that looked like that. We
wouldn't have that cow anymore, just saying,

518
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:47.440
but it would like it would do
most things seventy five percent, right.

519
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:53.440
But obviously, like like they had
the trees, the tall trees that

520
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:57.960
the drafts would graze on that you
would see, you know, that were

521
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.840
actually the trees from Africa, right, they had them planning. They had

522
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:02.800
a huge, huge enclosure, which
was that was the other thing about the

523
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.360
Santa Barbara Zoo. Some zoos you
go to and they're like basically in a

524
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.760
box. They had these huge enclosures
because again they got more money and they

525
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:16.440
know what to do with and but
they had like trees just for Jemina too,

526
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:23.000
right where they had where they were
clearly the younger trees because she could

527
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:25.719
reach those, and so you like
knew where she was. It was the

528
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:30.559
whole thing was strange. But yeah, the hobbled animal, it felt like

529
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:36.079
an old timey side show right where
you're like, hey, are you deformed

530
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:38.440
in the nineteen thirties, you should
be in the circus right And then that

531
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:43.119
and I don't remember how the neck
guy maybe either maybe birth or something or

532
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.239
another draft stepped on it as a
bay. I don't know. But like

533
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:50.599
the really funny thing too, is
like half the people who roll into that

534
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:53.519
zoo because it's southern California, with
a ton of money like they have,

535
00:43:53.760 --> 00:44:00.079
they probably have more plastic surgery than
than what your houses were. And I

536
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:05.119
know that giraffe was looking at him
like I see you, like twenty years

537
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:08.280
younger. Could you fix them a
neck? Please do something? But no,

538
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:12.400
she lived, She lived out her
days like that. Just crazy,

539
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:16.280
all right, Sorry, we gotta
have find a giraffe tangent. But memories.

540
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:22.079
All right, Look, here's the
deal, and I'll probably get some

541
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:30.360
somebody sending me a really nasty.
I don't care. I got I don't

542
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:37.079
have a beef with all high profile
members of you know church folks, right,

543
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:44.280
some of them are legitimately very talented
in in bringing people in to hear

544
00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:50.239
the gospel and these and and yes, to some extent, it is a

545
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:53.519
business, right, because you have
to have money to do things with you

546
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:59.320
know, churches, travel, missionary
work, all of that. And I

547
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:06.519
can even justify once you get to
a certain point, making purchases of things

548
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:12.360
that would help you accomplish that from
a reasonable standpoint, right, Like people

549
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.519
were, you know, you get
somebody's megachurch pastors and they like, oh,

550
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:20.599
he bought an arena, Well,
the church did, and he fills

551
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:25.039
it, right, So I mean, like I understand that. But do

552
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:31.280
you remember that I was a New
Orleans pastor who he was complaining because his

553
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:37.400
his his business jet didn't have the
range to allow him to he had to

554
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:42.760
stop and refuel, and so he
bought like another giant, a big,

555
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:46.559
big business jet. But he was
complaining about it on TVs like, man,

556
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:50.679
we gotta we gotta, we gotta
get a jet. We had to

557
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.960
stop for fuel. And he was
talking about flying between two countries in Africa

558
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:58.880
where they're doing missionary work, and
I'm like, yeah, you lost me,

559
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:02.159
dude, this is uh no and
uh, by the way, it

560
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:07.519
was one. That situation was one
of the most brilliant parodies of South Park's

561
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:09.920
career, and it was a very
early Ross. Do you remember the episode

562
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:14.119
where it's the they were parting the
seven hundred Club, but they were trying

563
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:17.400
to raise money for a battle cruiser
in space? It was the Starve and

564
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:22.519
bar we need we need more money
for we need money for a Hiberian Junker.

565
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.800
Yes, yeah, I remember it
was, and then coming back because

566
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:29.880
it had the wrong cloaking Yeah,
they bought the one with the wrong cloaking

567
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.960
mechanisms, so they need money for
a new cloaking thing. So they right,

568
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:36.960
I understand why they were parting.
And and at that point all I

569
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:40.320
could do is laugh at these people, this pastor in Colorado. This is

570
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:49.280
a new twist. But what are
you doing? Mad? What even is

571
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:53.639
that? Uh? To quote the
meme and then Ross, did you notice

572
00:46:53.639 --> 00:47:00.760
anything when you're dubbing in the audio
about because he is explaining why the authorities

573
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:05.639
think that he built one point three
million from his congregation for personal expenses and

574
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:09.559
so he's making this explanation video.
Do you notice anything about the video stood

575
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:14.920
out to you, like maybe where
it was filmed. Just glance at the

576
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:17.480
screenshot and see, I see if
you catch what I'm I'm putting down there,

577
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.800
because remember he's he's making a video
to point out that the authorities are

578
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:28.039
wrong. They didn't they didn't steal
over a million dollars for range rovers and

579
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:32.760
wildly expensive purses and vacations and homes. Uh, they're just you know,

580
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.199
it was it was God's will.
Do you notice anything about the video where

581
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:42.360
he's filming it. I mean,
it looks like it's like a lakeside property

582
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:44.519
or something. But I mean it
could be a little shack on a lake.

583
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:47.599
Maybe it's like a Ted Kazinski type
shack. And it looks like a

584
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:52.960
nice home. It looks like he
does it look rustic, insiders, super

585
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:58.320
modern, super modern, but in
an elevated lake front position in the beautiful

586
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:04.880
Rocky Mountains. I'm here to tell
you, even though it's out in Colorado,

587
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.039
that's not a cheap house. Fan
like and with the ability to use

588
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:13.679
film like, you can be anywhere
you want in a video now right anywhere

589
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:16.320
Ross has a green screen in his
house for his Twitch stuff, Like if

590
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:19.639
he wanted to come on Twitch,
you'd be like I am at the Olive

591
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.280
Garden in Tuscany. Like he could
mock up a background in what twenty seconds?

592
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:28.639
It would take you no time,
And even on any of the video

593
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:30.840
stuff, like you know, the
zooms or the teams, like you can

594
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:37.760
put any background you want, anyone
you want. I know because I very

595
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:43.360
immaturely Ross, Were you on the
were you on the you were on the

596
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:46.119
meeting? When I when I put
in the casting couch with nothing in there,

597
00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:49.119
No, I think I missed that
one. But I've heard about it.

598
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:52.199
Oh okay, now I don't because
it was green. It was Greensboro

599
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:54.320
people I was talking to. Yeah, it was a still frame of an

600
00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:59.519
office with a couch that is,
uh looks like a Hollywood casting couch.

601
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.440
And I just randomly had it up
as a background because I thought it was

602
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:08.280
hilarious because it was. But but
dude, if you're that guy and you're

603
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:13.400
this pastor, we're gonna get into
the audio coming up here. One,

604
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:20.719
don't I don't don't blame God.
But two, like take Ross and this

605
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:25.679
advice find a background to some like, No, just pick a normal house,

606
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:30.079
I guess, not a not aant
giant lake front with a landscape window

607
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:36.760
the size of the wall in my
house overlooking the lake. From your elevated

608
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:40.199
position. You can be anywhere you
want, man, You could literally,

609
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:45.559
you could literally make it appear as
though you're on a missionary trip in Guatemala.

610
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:50.400
Right, Just getta get a nice
Central American volcano. Still but no,

611
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:52.960
And when I listen to this audio, holy crap. We'll play it

612
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:57.360
for you here coming up right after
the bottom of the hour and New Hampshire.

613
00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:00.559
I'm not gonna spend a bunch of
time, but I will explain how

614
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:06.199
we got to where we are,
even though it's largely meaningless. But we'll

615
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:12.440
do that. Coming up, it
is the CaCO Day Radio program one O

616
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:17.480
six one FM talk A w pt
I, two stations driving the best in

617
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:30.199
talk. This is Cacoda and Carolina's
Corning News. Oh boy, I know

618
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:36.400
what I probably would have been better
off, and I'm making into it.

619
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.719
Has it is painted what is already
a weird memory. Just real quickly going

620
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:45.039
back to the draft, the with
the with the ninety degree neck thing.

621
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:50.400
Okay, so I was right because
I did this story a couple It was

622
00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:52.840
funny. Somebody has sent me an
email. I didn't realize they had a

623
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:58.280
whole kid's book series with the draft
of the busted neck, which again it's

624
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:02.599
fine, but I was trying to
remember how it happened and I couldn't,

625
00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:07.360
so I looked it up and I
kind of wish I didn't. So the

626
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:12.159
giraffe was born at the San Diego
Zoo and then they sold it to the

627
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:16.119
Santa Barbara Zoo, and they almost
immediately they started noticing neck issues. So

628
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:23.239
like San Diego sold them a busted
giraffe, and he got a do they

629
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:25.360
know? What do they know?
And when do they know it? But

630
00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:30.920
it's not really that they were trying
to stock up drafts. But they talk

631
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:35.480
about how the neck bend started when
the giraft was young, and then over

632
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.320
the course of about two to three
years, it eventually morphed into this ninety

633
00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:44.920
degree bend, which makes it look
so weird. And they were studying this

634
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:50.639
because they say that they had not
seen a giraffe with that deformity since nineteen

635
00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:54.960
oh two or something, according to
this article here, and by the time

636
00:51:55.079 --> 00:52:02.199
they went, hey, maybe we
should do something three years later they realize

637
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.719
the vertebrates had fused, so now
they that's just how it was. But

638
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:12.840
one of the reasons they didn't do
anything that is literally quoted is uh one

639
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.360
of the people at the zoo,
on the board of the zoo, said

640
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:23.079
that Jemina had become an icon to
kids with scoliosis. Okay, uh,

641
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:28.840
yes, I get that right,
And I you know this, this comes

642
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:31.519
out of the representation thing. And
I think that if you're if you're a

643
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:37.880
child and you're dealing obviously with something
like that, something within your orbit that

644
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:42.719
you like as a kid, Yeah, where that I get that, And

645
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:49.519
I'm not trying to be insensitive here, but it sounds like at first this

646
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:55.199
was an easy fix of the giraffe
and like then they didn't want to because

647
00:52:55.559 --> 00:53:00.679
they say it was insan I think
it was because you people were showing up

648
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:05.320
at the zoo in crazy numbers.
Is this dark like theorizing this roster?

649
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:08.679
Do you think there's some validity to
this, like don't screw up a good

650
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:13.079
thing. I think they were profiting
off and that became what they were known

651
00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:15.559
for. Yeah. I think they
didn't fix it because they're like, wow,

652
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:17.719
everyone keeps coming to the zoo,
like if you have you know,

653
00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:22.480
I don't if there's a polar bear
at our zoo, Yeah, and it's

654
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:29.320
up born with like four heads,
right, yeah, you know, pothetical

655
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:32.159
scenario and people are showing up to
see the four headed polar bear. I

656
00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:36.400
mean it's the reason that they had
the traveling side shows. Let's just be

657
00:53:36.519 --> 00:53:42.480
honest. It's just it's a more
modern version of that. Now you've seen

658
00:53:42.519 --> 00:53:44.800
all the polar bears at the zoo. They don't have four heads here,

659
00:53:44.920 --> 00:53:49.800
right and right. I mean there
are something that speculate there's actually no animals

660
00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:54.400
at our zoo. Oh I've heard
that before. You're really just like you

661
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:57.280
show up at the zoo and you're
like, oh, I can't wait to

662
00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:59.599
see the polar bear, and you're
on the third floor and you're like where

663
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:00.440
is it the like, oh man, you just missed it. It's down

664
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:02.679
the second floor. Then you rush
the family. Now the second floor,

665
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:05.599
you're like, oh, where's the
polar bear. We came here all the

666
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:07.400
way for the polar bear, Like, oh my god, I went down

667
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:08.800
the first floor. And then on
the first floor you're like, where's the

668
00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:10.599
polar bear? Like, oh man, we just took it in the back

669
00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:13.719
eat and they're like, oh my
god, it's on the third floor.

670
00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:15.960
And then you rushed back up to
the third floor. Where's the polar bear?

671
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.199
Oh man, you just missed them. Well, they have a big

672
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:20.840
range in the wild, right,
So yeah, and it seems to be

673
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:22.639
like that way a lot of times, but a lot of the animals there

674
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:25.719
there's zoo. So was it you
or your wife who posted a picture of

675
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:30.199
a like a grasshopper on ranch?
Dude, You're like, we found it

676
00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:35.039
out like a bug. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's what they used

677
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:37.920
a refund. That has been our
experience at our zoo. When we're on

678
00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:44.119
Christmas vacation. We went down to
Louisiana. It's near Monroe, Louisiana,

679
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:49.800
Calhoun. It's a Louisiana Purchase Museum
whatever it's called, or zoo. Tons

680
00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:53.440
of animals, tons of them outside. Yeah, monkeys. Lincoln loved him.

681
00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:58.159
He was jumping up it down,
making the monkeys howl, bison,

682
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:01.199
buffalo, every like every kind of
animal. Wow. It was a different

683
00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:07.880
experience. So some people speculated our
zoo it's a conspiracy. I love it,

684
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:12.239
didn't You weren't at the event at
one of our Greensboro listener meet and

685
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:15.760
greets one of our listeners. Who's
he I think he was city. He

686
00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:17.679
was either city, county. He's
in some sort of governmental position. He

687
00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:21.760
showed up at it. He's like, hey, drove all the way from

688
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:24.880
you know, because you know,
lives obviously lives where the zoo is.

689
00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:29.199
And he's like, yeah, I'm
so glad to be here. But he

690
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:35.679
was like he speculated. He was
like he had heard this on the radio,

691
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:37.880
and he's like he's like, yeah, no, come on, I

692
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:39.960
know a guy. I'll show you
the animals. So like, do you

693
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.559
want to go? He'll let you
in the polar bear exhibit or something I

694
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:46.679
think, but it sounded like a
trick, right, Oh you want to

695
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:53.079
see the polar bear? Yeah,
go in this dark closet. Oh.

696
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:57.480
I don't know if you're being friendly
or you want ross to get eaten,

697
00:55:57.599 --> 00:56:01.159
sir, but I'm here for it. So anyway, Yeah, that's what

698
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:07.159
was so dark. Man. I
just read that that like that that removed

699
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:13.800
any like positivity there because now I'm
old enough and wise enough or at least

700
00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:17.000
moving in that direction, because you
know, dumb kid right out of high

701
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.079
school. I just like, oh, Okay, well that sucks, but

702
00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:22.360
hey, look at that, and
now I'm like, no, wow,

703
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:28.079
it one sounds like you didn't fix
that thing intentionally on mugs and key chains

704
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:31.320
and children's books. You can't fix
it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

705
00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:36.880
And also I was reading, so
I remember I mentioned that the big Valentine's

706
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:38.960
thing was to go watch the animals
hookup, which again I always thought that

707
00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:43.719
was so weird. But like they
would, they would put pictures from it,

708
00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:45.400
and there's like Oprah would be there
because she had a big house of

709
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:49.559
Montecito, a bunch of Hollywood people
to live up there, and it was

710
00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:52.599
just really weird. It's like you're
showing up to you know, spend ten

711
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:59.159
k or whatever for a private thing
and to watch animals hook up. And

712
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:01.800
I remember just like as a kid, you know, a ranch kid,

713
00:57:01.880 --> 00:57:06.400
I'm like, I've seen way too
many animals hook up. So like I

714
00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:10.440
don't understand the appeal, but you
do you And so they're showing up for

715
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:15.320
all this. She actually, uh, they actually bred her, and I'm

716
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:20.639
just wondering what freak showed up for
that? Right, watch that thing,

717
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:27.559
the crooked neck giraffe get impregnated,
like somebody paid a lot of people paid

718
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:32.119
a lot of money to watch that, and uh, I wish I was

719
00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:36.239
still seeing it through a child or
in your child's eyes, man, because

720
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:39.119
holy crap. All right. Also, we mentioned that NASA wants you to

721
00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:43.039
know that speaking of giraffes, and
this is how we got on this conversation.

722
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:46.760
Giraffe, there's an eleven giraffe wide
asteroid gonna fly by but not hit

723
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:52.159
us. And I don't know why
NASA, who is giving me measurements in

724
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:57.679
giraffes, just tell me how many
feet it is. It's eighty two feet,

725
00:57:57.719 --> 00:58:00.199
by the way. But also why
you would use something that it's not

726
00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:05.360
known for its width, which just
seems incredibly like you wouldn't tell me that

727
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:10.599
he's three to kembe Mtumbo's wide,
Like what even is that? So?

728
00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:16.639
And then it's called twenty twenty four
BJ and it's one of one hundred and

729
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:23.119
thirty five objects identified or one hundred
and fifty eight excuse me identified under the

730
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:28.400
BJ moniker although some guy wrote me
and he said he's not worried it's gonna

731
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:30.800
hit because it's not his birthday.
And that's funny, So thank you for

732
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:37.239
that, sir. I'll let the
adults figure out what that's about. Oh

733
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:43.239
and Ross, some lunatic is listening
to the show from a balcony suite at

734
00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:47.239
the Atlantis in the Bahamas. Obviously
you haven't been there because you don't leave

735
00:58:47.239 --> 00:58:50.760
the country, but you're familiar with
that hotel, right, You've seen pictures

736
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:54.599
of its crazy, right, super
nice hotel. He's like, hey,

737
00:58:54.719 --> 00:59:00.559
guys, he's on his patio this
beautiful shot, uh, you know,

738
00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:04.400
looking out over the Bahamian waters and
the bay there. And he's just like,

739
00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:07.159
hey, listen to you guys from
Atlantis and the Bahamas. And I'm

740
00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:13.079
like, what are you doing,
Psycho, You're in the Bahamas. It's

741
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:15.360
not us. I want you to
listen to us. But if I go

742
00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:19.039
to if I if I go to
the Bahamas, when I have gone to

743
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:22.119
the Bahamas in the past and other
destinations like that for vacation. Do you

744
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:28.079
know the last thing I'm doing.
Check it up on the news back home.

745
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:31.559
Right, I'm in the Bahamas,
man, I'm gonna go fishing.

746
00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:36.599
I'm gonna base it on the beach. I like the direction we're going with

747
00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:39.800
some of the bikinis. Now you
want to get that all over ten?

748
00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:44.639
I understand, right, and you're
on vacation, get a get a drink

749
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:46.960
with the umbrella in it. But
I appreciate your commitments. So I'm just

750
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:51.679
teasing. But I mean, I'm
on the show. And when I went

751
00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:54.719
to the Bahamas, I didn't I
didn't know. I didn't. I didn't

752
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:58.679
know if the state the station could
have exploded, and I would have found

753
00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:01.880
out the day I got back.
So there's that. But do appreciate it,

754
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:07.079
all right, Race st Agic.
He's in the Bahamas secretly actually yeah,

755
01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:07.960
yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
got a doppler down there. It's

756
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:13.599
pretty crazy. Yeah, I love
our listeners commitment. But he's he's on

757
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.880
this beautiful balcony. You've seen the
Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Oh things,

758
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:20.440
have you been there? No,
believe it or not. I was

759
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:22.559
poking around for a trip this summer. But right now it's a little bit

760
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:28.280
out of a radio broadcast media all
just price range for fos. There's some

761
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:31.000
deals to be had. I've stayed
on because it's was a paradise island.

762
01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:37.199
It's the second island I've stayed on
that island, but not there because yeah,

763
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:39.039
I just they were not doing deals
at that time, but we didn't

764
01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:42.280
go over because we got a casino
and restaurant over there. I mean,

765
01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:46.360
it's amazing, but the last thing
I'd be doing is carrying what the weather

766
01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:52.079
in Raleigh is. Yeah, sorry, because we just we need to disconnect

767
01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:55.480
sometimes, So go question do we
do? I mean, and hang out

768
01:00:55.480 --> 01:00:59.960
with your wife, you know,
make some memories, make some tan line

769
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:04.599
and all that good stuff. Right
or not? Right? Yeah, you

770
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:07.920
don't want clouds and fog and drizzle, and you don't want it. Further,

771
01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:09.559
I don't want to go to that
beach either, So no. One

772
01:01:09.679 --> 01:01:14.559
two envisioning I suspect no, no, no, no, envisioning a lot

773
01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:16.639
of gray sky and cloud and fog. And ye know, we painted a

774
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:21.039
nice picture somewhere else, but not
here. In the next four days,

775
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:23.000
I don't even know how much in
the way of sunshine we get. We

776
01:01:23.079 --> 01:01:27.679
may not get any until Sunday,
as we'll be in the drizzle and the

777
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.880
clouds and fog. Today. There
might be some light rain and spots a

778
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:36.480
few light rain showers showing up now
around Winston, Sellem, Greensboro and just

779
01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:38.360
on the north end of the triangle. Then down your Charlotte. It's real

780
01:01:38.440 --> 01:01:42.960
spotty even as you get into Georgia
and eastern Alabama, but heavier rain to

781
01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:45.639
the west out across Mississippi heading our
way, and some of that gets here

782
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:49.519
tonight. Very mild today, mid
upper sixties. Tonight we're only going to

783
01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:54.239
near sixty for an overnight low temperature, almost dropical for this timely Yeah,

784
01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:58.480
yeah, I mean that's kind of
nuts. And tomorrow when near seventy Friday,

785
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:00.519
we're near seventy. We'll have a
little round of rain and showers in

786
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:04.519
the morning. Then we may get
a break tomorrow afternoon, and then another

787
01:02:04.599 --> 01:02:07.360
round in as we go through Tomorrow
night into Friday, showers and thunderstorms,

788
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:13.559
some thunderstorms in the afternoon, and
still some showers on Saturday are possible Saturday

789
01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:16.159
night before finally we may get some
sun by Sunday. We're going to stay

790
01:02:16.159 --> 01:02:20.239
in the sixties over the weekend,
might cool off just a little bit early

791
01:02:20.320 --> 01:02:23.320
next week. Oh right, well, look, I mean we're living living

792
01:02:23.440 --> 01:02:27.840
large with this. So all right, thank you, sir. We'll talk

793
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:29.960
in an hour. Appreciate it.
There you go, race stage. All

794
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:35.280
right, we'll get get to that
past or audio and look, I nothing

795
01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:38.559
has been proven, but he's also
not really denying it. So I'll let

796
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:44.639
you take that. But honestly,
it might be the worst explanation video I

797
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:47.480
think I've seen in some time.
But we'll let you be the judge.

798
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:55.039
We'll do it next. Hang on
your Day Smarter one six one FM Talk

799
01:02:55.320 --> 01:03:07.920
and News TALKTI with Casey starts.
Now. I guess I gotta say this

800
01:03:08.079 --> 01:03:15.119
because, uh, but I guess
I gotta say this. Somebody's like,

801
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:17.760
it's seven forty five in the Bahamas. Man, let him enjoy his coffee

802
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:22.599
on this patio leave belowe. Yeah, I'm not seriously trashing on me,

803
01:03:23.679 --> 01:03:27.440
although I am a little curious while
you're up at seven forty five in the

804
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:32.079
Bahamas, because when I'm there,
I tend to stay up a little later.

805
01:03:32.159 --> 01:03:35.400
But to each their own, No, no, no, no,

806
01:03:35.599 --> 01:03:39.119
I'm just I'm teasing them, sir. That's fine, do whatever he wants.

807
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:44.920
I appreciate his commitment. Like,
but now, let's be real real,

808
01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:49.360
Ross were fired over Christmas those days
you were doing the fan road trip.

809
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:52.199
How many times did you check in
on the station each day? Uh?

810
01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:55.400
Not at all? Okay, not
every day, like every other day,

811
01:03:55.840 --> 01:04:00.119
like like zero total zero for that. I didn't even check in on

812
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:03.119
the news. It was gonna well, well that's that's not true. There's

813
01:04:03.159 --> 01:04:06.079
times where you're scroll on your Twitter
feed or extually even on the for you

814
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:09.920
tab and you'll find some news.
But I tried to avoid news that'll cost

815
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:12.960
you. Yeah, like I don't
want to know anything. Yeah, I

816
01:04:13.079 --> 01:04:15.280
want to look if I if I'm
in the Bahamas and I'm flying back to

817
01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:19.400
the US after and it's not the
US anymore, like that Tom Hanks movie.

818
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:21.440
I want to find out in the
airport so I can live there.

819
01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:27.440
Okay, So anyway, we're just
teasing. But you know, if you're

820
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:30.880
traveling, I heard radio app there
you go, boom boom boom. All

821
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.039
right, tell corporate I said that. Please. Let me tell you about

822
01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:42.159
this dude, pastor Eli Ray Jilado, who's been charged in a crypto essentially

823
01:04:42.159 --> 01:04:46.559
a crypto scam. According to Colorado
authorities, he pocketed one point three million

824
01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:57.639
dollars and spent hundreds of thousands of
it on things like Homer Model range Rover.

825
01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:00.000
That's nice. His wife has very
expense. It's a purse taste.

826
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:10.039
And so now they are there,
they're moving forward as a civil a He

827
01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:15.360
says civil it's a non criminal,
but it's obviously a prosecution there. Now.

828
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:16.360
I don't know whether he did it
or didn't do it, but I

829
01:05:16.440 --> 01:05:24.079
know his video explaining it from the
living room of what looks like a lake

830
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:28.920
front giant home. Probably we should
have picked another background, sir, but

831
01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:34.400
it's his explanation that I think irritates
me and probably probably quite a few members

832
01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:39.239
of his congregation. Listen to this
guy. Caitlin and I are being charged

833
01:05:39.360 --> 01:05:43.840
in a civil charge from the Colorado
Securities and Exchange Commission, which is not

834
01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:45.679
a civil charge. It's a non
criminal, but it is elite. You

835
01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:49.079
know. Civil implies that it's a
private person. This is the government.

836
01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:53.920
So just fyi, but it is
what it is, white collar, if

837
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:57.320
you will. We're basically selling millions
of dollars worth of cryptocurrency that is deemed

838
01:05:57.480 --> 01:06:01.400
worthless by the state. That they're
seeing that it's worthless is because there is

839
01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:08.159
no exit for people who have bought. We launched an exchange, the exchange

840
01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:12.519
technology failed, things went downhill,
and from that point forward we've just been

841
01:06:12.599 --> 01:06:15.760
we've just been waiting on the Lord
literally per a miracle. Okay, all

842
01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:17.360
right, all right, So and
that's the soft side of this, all

843
01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:21.119
right. So they launched it and
it had value, of which they hold

844
01:06:21.199 --> 01:06:25.199
most of it, and then they
sold most of it when it had value,

845
01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:27.719
and now it has no value.
And a lot of coins have done

846
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:31.400
that obviously, but this is the
first. This was their own coin,

847
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:38.440
like a Jesus coin. So anyway, let's continue. So the charges are

848
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:41.519
that Caitlin and I pocketed one point
three million dollars, and I just want

849
01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:45.280
to come out and say that those
charges are true. So there's been one

850
01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:46.920
point three million dollars that's been taken
out of I think it was a total

851
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:49.840
three point four million. But out
of that one point three half a million

852
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:54.719
dollars went to the irs and a
few hundred thousand dollars went to a homing

853
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:59.239
model that the Lord told us to
do. But like that window, did

854
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:02.199
you tell you to put that giant
window over the beautiful mountain lake there?

855
01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:06.440
Okay? So how this whole thing
started as the Lord told us in twenty

856
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:10.320
one to walk away from our marketing
company and he said, I'm going to

857
01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:13.519
do a new thing, and then
he took us into this cryptocurrency. It

858
01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:15.239
was a different cryptocurrency other than index
coin. At the time, Well,

859
01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:19.679
that cryptocurrency turned out to be a
scam. Yeah, And so the Lord

860
01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:23.199
says, give that to him,
but also give them a ten X.

861
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:25.920
And I'm like, well, where's
this liquidity going to come from? And

862
01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:29.360
the Lord says, trust me.
What's crazy too, is they're using all

863
01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:32.239
the terminology that if you're not in
crypto, confuses even me and like,

864
01:07:32.440 --> 01:07:35.760
try and explain. But you know, God's explaining NFTs to this dude,

865
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:39.559
So all right, roll on.
Well, as money is coming in,

866
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:42.480
we would be sewing it. And
at first it was one hundreds of dollars,

867
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:45.760
and thousands of dollars, then tens
of thousands of dollars. When he

868
01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:46.719
would come in, we tied we
sow more money would come in. And

869
01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:49.360
so we were just always under the
impression that God was going to provide,

870
01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:53.039
that the source was never ending,
that God was doing a new thing,

871
01:07:53.599 --> 01:08:00.440
and that we had nothing to worry
about. We sold a cryptocurrency with no

872
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:04.639
clear exit. We did. We
took God at his word and sold a

873
01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:10.599
cryptocurrency with no clear exit. Bro, did you just blame God? It

874
01:08:10.719 --> 01:08:13.800
sounds like you just blame God for
this. So the prosecutors have to take

875
01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:16.680
that and say, these people willingly
sold a cryptocurrency with no clear exit.

876
01:08:17.319 --> 01:08:20.560
What we're praying for and what we're
believing for still, is that God is

877
01:08:20.640 --> 01:08:24.760
going to do a miracle. God
is going to work a miracle in the

878
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:28.880
financial sector. Yeah. I don't
think God's doing pumping dump, sir,

879
01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:32.239
because that's what that sounds like.
And I don't know, man, a

880
01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:38.640
video blaming God from your giant home
on the beautiful rocky mountain lake, I

881
01:08:38.680 --> 01:08:51.920
don't know that you're welling up sympathy
craziness. Man. All right, good

882
01:08:51.960 --> 01:09:00.319
morning everybody, and welcome. It
is the CaCO Game radio program. Our

883
01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:05.319
numbers three. Glad to have you
along. Boy O boy, I'm gonna

884
01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:14.640
tell this story kind of in reverse, okay, because the the twist is

885
01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:19.279
is really the why it's a story. But it's even without the twists,

886
01:09:19.359 --> 01:09:25.760
the finality of the court decision,
it's it's bonkers. This is in the

887
01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:30.079
UK, but I see a lot
of similarities in the way that their justice

888
01:09:30.119 --> 01:09:36.159
system seems to have a lot in
common with ours. In you know,

889
01:09:36.279 --> 01:09:44.119
like you did. You just had
two instances of New Yorkers going hands on

890
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:49.960
with people who were committing making threats, doing criminal things. You know,

891
01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:56.880
those are criminally prosecutable acts and causing
widespread fear. According to the testimy,

892
01:09:56.920 --> 01:09:59.640
you had two instances. You had
Pearl, the dude who put the guy

893
01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:01.800
in the head lock, who's still
charged, and then you had another dude

894
01:10:02.119 --> 01:10:05.439
who went on and he ended up
killing the dude because they got into it,

895
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:10.239
but he didn't get charges because they
and they shouldn't have. It was

896
01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:15.239
totally justified. But that guy was
black, and some people are wondering,

897
01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:17.199
well, how the hell is one
thing this and the other thing that when

898
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:24.520
they're so similar, and so keep
that in mind. So we head over

899
01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:27.960
to the UK and I'm going to
tell you a series of events that happened.

900
01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:35.760
What is the guy's name, Valdo, Valdo Calikan Vall. I'm not

901
01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:40.039
familiar he is. He's from North
Africa, lives in the UK. But

902
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:42.960
so I've just never heard that name. Maybe it's a common name. But

903
01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:50.079
so according to authorities, and now
that the court is done, it is

904
01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:58.279
in fact what happened. Officially,
Valdo is out for the night and he

905
01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:03.800
happens upon to Universe City students guy
in a gal and goes over to him,

906
01:11:04.039 --> 01:11:14.079
pulls out and this is their description
a ceremonial dagger, which I guess

907
01:11:14.119 --> 01:11:15.680
that means it's got to have a
big jewel in it, right, Is

908
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:18.720
that how that works? I mean, is that what makes a ceremonial dagger

909
01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:23.039
that? Or you use it to
kill ten thousand people so it rains the

910
01:11:23.119 --> 01:11:26.840
right amount. I guess that would
be one. But described as a ceremonial

911
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:32.520
dagger, but also described as a
tactical ceremonial dagger, So now I'm even

912
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:39.720
more confused. But I point this
out because it's a rather unusual weapon.

913
01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:44.800
You would say, right, okay, but he's out with that, comes

914
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:50.039
upon these two college kids and then
stabs the dude to death while the woman

915
01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:54.439
is fighting him and with his last
dying breath. The guy is on the

916
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:59.000
ground trying to fight slowly or quickly, bleeding out, and then he stabs

917
01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:03.600
the woman to death too, so
he kills these two nineteen year olds.

918
01:12:05.039 --> 01:12:10.159
Following the killing, officials say he
went to a hostel which was right there,

919
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:14.079
and it's unclear he like he was
wondering. I think maybe if people

920
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:16.840
saw him, and he tried to
make entry through a window and one of

921
01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:20.720
the residents of the hostel punched the
dude in the face and knocked him out

922
01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:25.920
of the window, according to witness
statements. So he walks down the street

923
01:12:26.039 --> 01:12:30.399
and flags down a guy who's driving
a delivery van, and the dude stops

924
01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:35.479
and he stabs that dude to death
too. He then takes the delivery van

925
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:42.399
and runs around and starts hitting people
with the van. He thankfully he did

926
01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:46.439
not kill anyone else, but he
did seriously injure at least one other person

927
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:56.119
in some moderate to minor injuries for
two others, and eventually he was taken

928
01:12:56.159 --> 01:13:00.399
into custody. Yeah, the dude
got really messed up, fractured skull,

929
01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:03.000
bleeding to the brain, and he's
going to have some cognitive issues. So

930
01:13:03.079 --> 01:13:09.319
it was pretty substantial. So anyway, they went through the court proceedings and

931
01:13:11.359 --> 01:13:17.199
guilty of unintentional manslaughter. And that's
not necessarily just because that's what they came

932
01:13:17.239 --> 01:13:25.359
back with. That was the top
charge, saying that he had he had

933
01:13:25.439 --> 01:13:31.720
dealt with some serious emotional and mental
health issues, though they even the psychiatrists

934
01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:35.920
assessed him, saying that they did
not feel that it was substantial enough that

935
01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:41.359
he didn't know what he was doing. But they also argued that this was

936
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:48.199
something that was not planned, and
the families are outraged, as you can

937
01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:54.359
imagine, because this student is going
to do very little time and feel that

938
01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:59.439
maybe there might have been something here
where the prosecutor didn't go after this guy

939
01:13:59.560 --> 01:14:03.199
because obviously, you know, this
is a hot topic in the UK and

940
01:14:03.279 --> 01:14:11.319
other countries over in Europe about crimes
associated with migrants, but migrant or not,

941
01:14:11.920 --> 01:14:15.960
psychiatrists said, he's fine, the
prosecutor doesn't go after a murder charge,

942
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:19.560
and then all of those things happened, and I kind of feel like

943
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:26.479
once you've left the house with your
ceremonial dagger and you go up to people

944
01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:30.000
and start stabbing them, there is
some like that doesn't just happen. We're

945
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:32.039
like, oh my gosh, what
am I doing? You know, like

946
01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:36.039
you ever seen ross? You ever
see somebody who's walking like power walking?

947
01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:39.680
How ridiculous that kind of looks.
I mean, more power to you if

948
01:14:39.680 --> 01:14:42.399
you want to do it, but
like speedwalking looks weird because it's not quite

949
01:14:42.479 --> 01:14:45.640
running, but you got the arms
swing going on. I'm like, what

950
01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:48.119
on what planet are really? Oh? He didn't mean to do it,

951
01:14:48.600 --> 01:14:51.880
and I'm like, so what he
does? The weird fast walk thing?

952
01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:55.359
And they got in his way.
I'm not buying it. He fought them

953
01:14:55.399 --> 01:14:58.600
for several minutes, killed them,
killed another dude to take his van,

954
01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:04.840
and then tried to kill more people. And yet you got manslaughter with they

955
01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:10.920
call it something different in the UK, but what do they call it here?

956
01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:15.399
Uh? Well anyway, but basically
it would be the version of the

957
01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:20.960
manslaughter here where he didn't he wasn't
planning on doing it. Just nuts,

958
01:15:21.279 --> 01:15:29.960
absolutely nuts, And that was the
sentence they handed down yesterday. Yeah,

959
01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:34.960
they call it manslaughter with diminished responsibility, so that can be a number of

960
01:15:35.039 --> 01:15:38.760
things, but in this case they
said he wasn't planning it, so he

961
01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:44.600
was just walking around with a ceremonial
dagger as you do, and didn't like

962
01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:46.319
to look at the couple or something
like. There's no explanation on it,

963
01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:53.800
obviously by his lawyer, you know, his lawyer, his barrister was did

964
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:57.159
not allow him to testify for obvious
reasons. But holy crap, man,

965
01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:03.479
and people who are pushing back on
it. I saw a little clip.

966
01:16:03.479 --> 01:16:08.000
I didn't put the audio in because
it was bouncing around. But like they

967
01:16:08.039 --> 01:16:12.560
have the blow hard mainstream media people
on TV who were like excoriating the families

968
01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:15.760
kind of, They're like, you
know, they said the word the words,

969
01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:18.760
and it wasn't It wasn't the parent
of the of the I think it

970
01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:24.600
was the brother, the brother of
the female college student was he was you

971
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:28.199
know, I went in front of
the microphones. And then they had experts

972
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:31.439
who had nothing to do with this
other than their own moon bat theories on

973
01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:34.479
things, who were like, you
know, this isn't helpful, this is

974
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:39.479
this is drawing ire on all migrants. And it's like, I saw a

975
01:16:39.479 --> 01:16:42.720
little bit of the brother's thing,
and he he uses the dude's name,

976
01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:46.720
so I think he's being specific.
Yeah, so yeah, you know,

977
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.479
look forward to that more of that. That'll be fun. But that's the

978
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:55.600
that's the outrage over here over there, and I see some similarities here,

979
01:16:55.720 --> 01:16:59.800
so I thought we'd share that with
you. All Right, check this out.

980
01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:09.720
Who, speaking of the media,
is the most trusted media person in

981
01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:15.399
America now, obviously because of the
way that we consume news, the way

982
01:17:15.479 --> 01:17:18.159
that we you know, the tribalism
all of that. You know, every

983
01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:21.720
time they do this list, you're
gonna get somebody on the right, somebody

984
01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:26.119
on the left, who's gonna get
you know it's gonna go fifty to fifty

985
01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:28.720
usually, all right, and then
bounce around like there's not a lot of

986
01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:33.760
surprises. But admittedly I was a
little surprised on this because the top vote

987
01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:39.800
getter, well, i'll tell you
it's two through four. Uh so the

988
01:17:39.880 --> 01:17:44.279
top four here who were really far
and above everybody else? Uh Number four

989
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:51.279
Jake Tapper, all right? Number
three, Joe Rogan. Interesting? Number

990
01:17:51.399 --> 01:18:00.479
two Tucker Carlson. Who do you
think was the number one most trusted media

991
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:05.399
person? Albeit so as you can
see it, it's it's not just your

992
01:18:05.479 --> 01:18:13.520
straight news people. You got Joe
Rogan on there. It's okay, it's

993
01:18:13.600 --> 01:18:19.000
not Ross Hayes. Why is why
do you do this? It's Bill Maher?

994
01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:26.279
Bill Maher, Although I think you
were robbed because at the very least,

995
01:18:27.119 --> 01:18:30.720
but it's I it's crazy. But
I've noticed on Twitter I get served

996
01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:35.399
a lot of Bill Maher stuff and
I don't follow Bill Maher. Do you

997
01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:39.399
see that Ross you're on the show
timeline. Do you notice how many Bill

998
01:18:39.479 --> 01:18:42.199
mark clips get served to us.
It's been a lot more than usual.

999
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.439
But I think when it comes to
people that before were perceived in the left,

1000
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:49.880
when it comes to comparing them to
him. He's been more in the

1001
01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:55.199
middle lately. Maybe he's still exactly
where he was, but the Overton window

1002
01:18:55.279 --> 01:18:57.319
makes him appear to be more centered
now. I don't know. And he

1003
01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:00.479
says that, he says that quiet. I've seen clips where he says that

1004
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:02.800
when he was talking to Elon Musky
said that they were having that conversation.

1005
01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:09.560
But yeah, yeah, And there's
been some moments over the years. I

1006
01:19:09.680 --> 01:19:13.760
remember, Uh remember he had Ben
Affleck on one time and he was talking

1007
01:19:13.800 --> 01:19:16.720
about he was talking about literally Islamic
terrorists, and he was very specific.

1008
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:20.880
He was talking about ISIS or maybe
Al Kaita, but he was being blindingly

1009
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:27.520
specific. And Ben Affleck is like
shifting in his seat. He's so uncomfortable,

1010
01:19:27.960 --> 01:19:30.199
and mar picks up on it and
kind of is like, what's the

1011
01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:32.640
problem, And it's like the lang. Something's like the language you're using,

1012
01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:36.600
and he's and he's staring at him
like I'm talking about people that are beating

1013
01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:40.520
people on videos. I mean,
what what am I supposed to say?

1014
01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:45.920
And and so on that issue when
it comes to radical Islamic terrorism. Uh,

1015
01:19:46.039 --> 01:19:48.359
he is not cowed from it.
And I think that's where most of

1016
01:19:48.399 --> 01:19:53.119
those videos lie. So yeah,
I guess the most recent one I saw

1017
01:19:53.199 --> 01:19:57.800
that came across my timeline and X
said something like it's no longer Left.

1018
01:19:57.880 --> 01:20:00.880
It was a Bill Maher video,
and Bill Maher's in the video was it's

1019
01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:05.399
no longer left versus right, progressive
versus concervatives. It's insane versus insane.

1020
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:09.880
Yeah, it's the crazies on both
ends kind of things, was his point.

1021
01:20:10.720 --> 01:20:14.199
Yeah, So I don't know if
it's just in the moment, but

1022
01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:17.560
like I because I think most people
think of Bill Maher if they don't get

1023
01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:20.880
served that stuff, especially in North
Carolina. If you don't like him,

1024
01:20:21.279 --> 01:20:27.520
you still remember him doing his movie
where he's clowning on truckers in North Carolina

1025
01:20:27.520 --> 01:20:30.319
a truck stop, right because the
lot, you know, big truck stops,

1026
01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:34.479
a lot of them will have religious
services offered for truck drivers. And

1027
01:20:34.680 --> 01:20:38.840
like mar show's up to one of
those, and what was it? Religious?

1028
01:20:39.039 --> 01:20:42.039
Religious? It was some religious lists
or I can't remember what the name

1029
01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:46.199
of the thing was, but it
was a takedown of religion and that obviously

1030
01:20:46.279 --> 01:20:49.800
that bothered a lot of people.
But you know, I also thought it

1031
01:20:49.960 --> 01:20:56.039
was I thought he was doing kind
of what the Daily Show did where if

1032
01:20:56.079 --> 01:20:58.520
you want to be, if you
want to question people and have a debate

1033
01:20:58.600 --> 01:21:00.239
with them, at least show your
car. You could tell that a lot

1034
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:04.520
of that was him trying to get
footage where these guys were now a little

1035
01:21:04.560 --> 01:21:09.000
more comfortable, and probably because also
he's a celebrity. They knew who he

1036
01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:13.359
was. But the whole thing just
creeped me out. But yeah, now

1037
01:21:13.399 --> 01:21:16.239
he's the most trusted. I got
a feeling that depending on the week that

1038
01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:21.880
you take this, it probably varies
though, so we shall see, all

1039
01:21:21.960 --> 01:21:26.000
right, eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. So New

1040
01:21:26.039 --> 01:21:29.439
Hampshire, let's go ahead and get
into this real quick. It's not that

1041
01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:34.760
exciting. So Trump one, Nicky
Haley showed pretty well compared to like Iowa

1042
01:21:35.079 --> 01:21:41.439
and the larger polling. But you
know, she really worked New Hampshire,

1043
01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:53.560
and New Hampshire has a lot of
much more moderate folk. I'm not hacking

1044
01:21:53.640 --> 01:21:58.119
on anybody, but like, I
wasn't surprised that New Hampshire was pretty evenly

1045
01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:03.119
divided between Trump in Haley. That
didn't surprise me because it's also New Hampshire.

1046
01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:08.319
Now, she did sweep the six
votes and that midnight thing at Gobbler's

1047
01:22:08.359 --> 01:22:12.560
Knob or whatever. But now she
says she's inspired and it's on to her

1048
01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:15.560
state, of course, South Carolina. But what was weird is the other

1049
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:24.720
side. So you know, the
parties don't want states moving primaries, and

1050
01:22:24.840 --> 01:22:27.399
they will literally threaten them that you
can't. If you do that, I'm

1051
01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:30.880
going to take your electoral votes they
won't count towards it. Now, I

1052
01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:33.720
understand that that's the inner workings of
the political parties and that's what these are

1053
01:22:33.800 --> 01:22:42.239
for. But if the state who
funds the elections wants to move them for

1054
01:22:42.359 --> 01:22:47.279
whatever reason, the parties need to
shut up. Okay, I know,

1055
01:22:47.680 --> 01:22:51.800
I know there's I've gotten the email, and I've said this before one hundred

1056
01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:56.279
reasons why they if they do this, here's the problem, here's I got

1057
01:22:56.319 --> 01:23:00.479
it. But like, and yes, even though the parties are people paying

1058
01:23:00.640 --> 01:23:05.159
for, you know, taxes in
the state that are then utilized for that,

1059
01:23:05.399 --> 01:23:09.560
but this is about party leadership and
they don't want to move for a

1060
01:23:09.640 --> 01:23:15.880
host of reasons. Some are arguably
selfish, some are more practical, But

1061
01:23:15.239 --> 01:23:18.399
I also don't like, you know, it's like if you paid for somebody's

1062
01:23:18.479 --> 01:23:24.720
meal somewhere and they're like oh,
this is a this is a t bone.

1063
01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:27.159
I wanted to FILET how dare you? And I'm like, I'm paying

1064
01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:30.359
for it. Shut up. So
that's what was going on in New Hampshire

1065
01:23:31.760 --> 01:23:36.399
from the Democratic Party and as a
result, Biden wasn't on there because he

1066
01:23:36.560 --> 01:23:42.840
honored their request. So they organized
a right in thing locally and actually for

1067
01:23:42.960 --> 01:23:45.439
not being on the ballot, they
just disclosed that his campaign spent over a

1068
01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:47.399
million dollars. So it's like wall, wait to say, you're not on

1069
01:23:47.439 --> 01:23:49.479
the ballot, but you spend a
million dollars, what are you doing?

1070
01:23:50.680 --> 01:23:55.880
So he won, he won in
a write in standpoint or writing standpoint.

1071
01:23:56.199 --> 01:23:59.960
But like there were robo calls going
out and they were blaming Republics some Republican

1072
01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:04.520
dude for this, And it was
a robo call in a primary saying this,

1073
01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:09.800
we know the value of voting Democratic
on our votes count. It's important

1074
01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:13.920
that you save your vote for the
November election. Will need your help in

1075
01:24:14.039 --> 01:24:18.640
electing Democrats up and down the ticket. Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans

1076
01:24:18.800 --> 01:24:25.119
in their quest to elect Donald Trump. Again, your vote makes a difference

1077
01:24:25.199 --> 01:24:28.840
in November, not this Tuesday.
If you would like to be removed from

1078
01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:32.239
future calls please press two, all
right, And they're saying, well,

1079
01:24:32.279 --> 01:24:35.359
that's a deep fake Joe Biden.
Maybe it is, but also I don't

1080
01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:38.479
know. Maybe you think you only
get one vote and you have to use

1081
01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:41.399
it one or the other. But
my point is, how does that benefit

1082
01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:46.319
Republicans out in the world? Does
that? Man? Because Republicans aren't getting

1083
01:24:46.359 --> 01:24:51.560
a slice of the Democratic primary votes. Joe Biden's not on the ballot,

1084
01:24:53.960 --> 01:24:58.479
and any of the votes from New
Hampshire do not count towards the primary.

1085
01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:03.319
So how on God's green Earth is
that some you know, dirty politics thing

1086
01:25:03.399 --> 01:25:08.039
from the other side. And somebody
explained that to me. I don't.

1087
01:25:08.039 --> 01:25:13.479
I also don't understand why it benefits
Democrats. But like you know, make

1088
01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:15.800
any I need to know the conspiracy. That's what I need to know.

1089
01:25:16.720 --> 01:25:19.560
I need a good kid. Although
I did ross. Have you heard the

1090
01:25:19.600 --> 01:25:24.720
Mel Gibson conspiracy this week? Oh? But I'd love to hear it.

1091
01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:31.239
Oh dude, this has there's two
versions of it, one where it's Illuminati,

1092
01:25:31.439 --> 01:25:36.479
but then also it's Jews and Illuminati, but it's Mel Gibson and so

1093
01:25:36.560 --> 01:25:42.680
there's some history there. So anyway, I was reading this yesterday and you

1094
01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:45.359
all got way too much time,
but I'm here for it. And yeah,

1095
01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:49.840
I'll explain the Mel Gibson conspiracy theory. We'll get to that. The

1096
01:25:49.960 --> 01:25:56.239
World Health Organization is making some interesting
decisions, and so is the State of

1097
01:25:56.439 --> 01:26:00.279
Washington. We got moon back coming
out our ears that we will get to

1098
01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:05.640
you in you know, in the
last half hour of the show. All

1099
01:26:05.720 --> 01:26:11.119
right, phone number eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four oh,

1100
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:15.439
and the the immigration numbers, but
the dollar numbers. Wait for this,

1101
01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:18.279
it's coming up. So after the
show, it's on the iHeart Radio

1102
01:26:18.399 --> 01:26:23.680
app. Search case the oday for
the podcast on the iHeart Radio app.

1103
01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:34.279
All right, and welcome back.
Be a busy half hour. I promised

1104
01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:36.439
a lot, but we'll get to
it. Let me throw just a couple

1105
01:26:36.520 --> 01:26:43.039
other things in as we kick it
off. The Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday

1106
01:26:43.119 --> 01:26:49.039
announcing the induction of three players.
They also although it was announced last month,

1107
01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:53.520
because they have a different process for
it. There's one there's a coach

1108
01:26:53.640 --> 01:26:58.880
going in, a manager, Jim
Leland from Pirates, and then I'm sure

1109
01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:01.800
probably other places, but I just
remember him with the Pirates up Pirates.

1110
01:27:01.920 --> 01:27:06.720
But once you go ten years and
don't get it. You have to appeal

1111
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:12.239
to this commission and then they can
recommend. They generally don't, but they

1112
01:27:12.319 --> 01:27:15.560
can slide somebody in. But it
used to be ten years. And you

1113
01:27:15.560 --> 01:27:19.720
don't get in, you're you're done. No more voting for you. Uh

1114
01:27:20.039 --> 01:27:25.960
and uh yeah. The Contemporary Baseball
Era Committee is the name, so that

1115
01:27:26.119 --> 01:27:30.880
they got him in among those among
the three, two of them were first

1116
01:27:30.039 --> 01:27:38.359
timers, Adrian Beltray and Joe Mauer. I love Joe mahert Man, not

1117
01:27:38.520 --> 01:27:42.640
just because he played for the Twins, but like Joe Mauer was one of

1118
01:27:42.720 --> 01:27:46.399
those disgustingly nice good dudes in sports
and there's a lot like there's a lot

1119
01:27:46.439 --> 01:27:53.800
of good people there, but like
he was because everywhere Joe mauerd or his

1120
01:27:53.920 --> 01:27:57.199
career. Played a decade and a
half for the Twins catcher and then first

1121
01:27:57.239 --> 01:28:01.399
base because he had some issues with
his back, but six Hall of Fame

1122
01:28:02.439 --> 01:28:08.840
lifetime, over three hundred Golden Glove, all that stuff. But he had

1123
01:28:09.159 --> 01:28:12.079
his children's charity I think is one
of the biggest in the state of Minnesota

1124
01:28:12.159 --> 01:28:15.319
now because he like worked it.
He was always doing stuff and when you

1125
01:28:15.359 --> 01:28:19.640
get really famous doing what they called
the Twins Caravan, which is an annual

1126
01:28:19.680 --> 01:28:23.239
thing where they go all around the
state. The players don't want to do

1127
01:28:23.359 --> 01:28:26.880
that because they're literally on the road
during the time when they're not on the

1128
01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:30.640
road because it's off season, and
the Mauer would like volunteer for that thing.

1129
01:28:30.840 --> 01:28:34.960
So it's good to see a good
dude get in there. Also,

1130
01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:40.760
Todd Helton not in his first year. He made his way in, so

1131
01:28:44.439 --> 01:28:48.600
but there's some issues, and that's
if you click on the New York Post

1132
01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:56.680
who not only did Gary Sheffield miss
although he was polling well, he didn't

1133
01:28:56.720 --> 01:28:59.319
meet the requirements in his tenth year, so he'll have to go to the

1134
01:28:59.319 --> 01:29:05.359
commission if you in. But there
continues to be strife among New York baseball

1135
01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:11.199
fans because I'm trying to see the
percentage a Rod only got thirty five percent?

1136
01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:14.880
Is are they do you think they're
gonna never put him in or do

1137
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:17.159
you think they're gonna make him wait
ten years? Because you know he still

1138
01:29:17.319 --> 01:29:24.560
is linked with that era of baseball
in those allegations, right, So I

1139
01:29:24.840 --> 01:29:31.640
don't know, but I mean he
is easily the biggest name who received votes

1140
01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:35.479
yesterday, even bigger Joe Mauer'll admit
that he's a rod Man, but still

1141
01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:40.560
I don't know. I don't know
if they'll they'll have to put him in.

1142
01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:45.199
Doesn't he own part of a team
now or something. I think he

1143
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:48.640
has ownership interest in the Miami team, right, or he did and then

1144
01:29:48.640 --> 01:29:54.600
he didn't. I can't remember.
So it's like you crap all over him.

1145
01:29:54.600 --> 01:29:57.560
The dude's still around baseball. I
never wanted to see a rod come

1146
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:00.479
play the Twins. When I was
watching, I did not enjoy that.

1147
01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:04.960
Uh uh, but yeah, I
only getting thirty five percent. The threshold

1148
01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:12.399
is seventy five percent. You gotta
get so and only those those three did,

1149
01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:15.640
all right, So we got that. In other sports news, I

1150
01:30:15.760 --> 01:30:23.399
saw this this morning. WWE has
signed a massive broadcasting deal for their Raw

1151
01:30:24.239 --> 01:30:28.479
So for those of you like Raw, you're gonna have to have a Netflix

1152
01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:36.399
subscription. That's where they're headed.
Yeah, WWE and Netflix have signed a

1153
01:30:36.880 --> 01:30:42.479
massive deal that would move the broadcast
of Raw as well as a handful of

1154
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:48.479
special events and then some other ancillary
shows that I'm not familiar with, but

1155
01:30:49.960 --> 01:30:55.119
to Netflix and provide a streaming outlet. Two I think for their for their

1156
01:30:55.159 --> 01:31:02.119
network channel, which that's is,
is that that's not basic. That's on

1157
01:31:02.239 --> 01:31:08.359
expanded sports and most I think,
but sometimes basic. So I don't know

1158
01:31:08.560 --> 01:31:11.720
if that MUCKs up anything, but
how do we feel about that? And

1159
01:31:11.800 --> 01:31:14.479
I and I want to approach it
not just from a a it's wrestling and

1160
01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:17.000
some guy you know, Hey,
you guys should talk politics, not wrestling.

1161
01:31:17.439 --> 01:31:21.520
Well, let me let me,
let me dip into something. What

1162
01:31:21.680 --> 01:31:27.479
have you What have we seen with
streaming services that have either taken older product

1163
01:31:28.640 --> 01:31:32.479
over and so they have the whole
library there, as well as streaming services

1164
01:31:32.600 --> 01:31:38.159
that have adopted products that once were
on TV that maybe went to streaming services,

1165
01:31:38.520 --> 01:31:45.319
and specifically Netflix and HBO they're the
they're the big ones here. If

1166
01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:50.119
you go to try to watch south
Park on HBO and even on Paramount,

1167
01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:53.960
I think is where the home is, but HBO still has it on there,

1168
01:31:54.600 --> 01:31:58.800
there's a bunch of episodes that aren't
there. There's a bunch of episodes

1169
01:31:58.840 --> 01:32:01.560
of a lot of shows that aren't
there. Where the there's been, there

1170
01:32:01.680 --> 01:32:06.640
was troubling content. And Netflix has
done this. Remember they put like a

1171
01:32:06.720 --> 01:32:14.439
three minute pre roll on Blazing Saddles. So if you want to watch Blazing

1172
01:32:14.520 --> 01:32:17.399
Saddles on UH in stream it you
got to watch this woman explain to you

1173
01:32:17.439 --> 01:32:21.560
why this is a really bad this
is horrible and terrible and no good before

1174
01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:28.119
they'll show you the movie. She
just wants you to know. And I

1175
01:32:28.279 --> 01:32:33.439
don't know with the wokeness inside of
Netflix decisions that you could like could you

1176
01:32:33.680 --> 01:32:41.640
show eighties and nineties era wrestlers?
I mean think about that, Like,

1177
01:32:42.159 --> 01:32:44.600
if you're one of if you're one
of these people who's butt heed and hung

1178
01:32:44.680 --> 01:32:49.199
up over cultural appropriation and everything is
a secret sign to explain, you know,

1179
01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:55.560
some white supremacist motive or something in
a microaggression, you should not watch

1180
01:32:55.720 --> 01:33:00.319
eighties and nineties era pro wrestling.
Am I wrong on this? I mean

1181
01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:04.279
I'm not right. So how does
Netflix handle that? And even if you

1182
01:33:04.359 --> 01:33:09.079
go, well they're going to show
modern wrestling, sure, but let's you

1183
01:33:09.119 --> 01:33:15.800
know, you watch modern sports.
I what was justin? Jefferson said he

1184
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:17.520
set a record in the last game
of the season, but also he hit

1185
01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:21.039
a bonus, so he was super
excited. I talked about this because people

1186
01:33:21.039 --> 01:33:24.680
are like, why is he celebrating
your news in and it's like, because

1187
01:33:24.680 --> 01:33:28.359
that dude's about to get paid more, so I get it. But he

1188
01:33:28.399 --> 01:33:30.119
set a record and then inevitably,
what do they have to do? They

1189
01:33:30.199 --> 01:33:35.439
got to talk about who held the
record before him, which was was it

1190
01:33:35.560 --> 01:33:40.359
Carter? But it was? You
know it was And that's a normal thing

1191
01:33:40.439 --> 01:33:45.479
in sports. You go to pro
wrestling and you want to reference people who

1192
01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:54.000
are pretending to be of a certain
nationality but clearly aren't. Like I feel

1193
01:33:54.039 --> 01:33:57.920
like this fits squarely into things that
Netflix has problems with. So I don't

1194
01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:01.319
know. I don't know how that's
gonna work. And are they going to

1195
01:34:01.399 --> 01:34:05.680
try to exert any influence over it, because that's another thing notorious within Netflix

1196
01:34:06.960 --> 01:34:16.319
is people who have worked with Netflix
and had complaints had talked about that Netflix,

1197
01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:19.359
even more so than the studios on
some stuff, was all up in

1198
01:34:19.399 --> 01:34:27.560
their business. So I don't know. But if you can't have those random

1199
01:34:27.720 --> 01:34:30.880
look and just see it's not all
in the past, Like what'd you tell

1200
01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:36.039
me Ross Hulk Hogan's coming, right, He's wrestling again or something he promo.

1201
01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:40.920
Yeah, he's like hinting he might
show up at Doro Rumble or maybe

1202
01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:44.239
go against Roman Reigns because Roman Reigns
is about to break his record for like

1203
01:34:44.319 --> 01:34:47.680
longest continuous champion whatever it is.
But I think he's just trolling people,

1204
01:34:47.760 --> 01:34:49.960
or he's just you know, wants
to get the attention, because Hulk Hogan

1205
01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:55.399
would die. Yeah, yeah,
no, look I would die, right.

1206
01:34:55.640 --> 01:34:59.760
So but listen, right, for
seventy he is in amazing shape,

1207
01:34:59.800 --> 01:35:02.239
right, and it's a miracle he
lasted this long because of you see a

1208
01:35:02.279 --> 01:35:04.920
lot of these wrestlers they dropped dead
in their fifties, right, Roddy Piper

1209
01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:09.840
dropped dead, Macho Man all super
early. And it always comes back to

1210
01:35:09.920 --> 01:35:12.800
what the steroids they did in the
eighties and all that kind of stuff.

1211
01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:14.880
So and you know, Hulk Hogan
did that stuff too, but it just

1212
01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:18.000
happens to be a coincidence. Hulk
Hogan is, who are the most Rick

1213
01:35:18.079 --> 01:35:21.760
Flair and Hulk Hogan the most known, Plus they made the most money and

1214
01:35:21.840 --> 01:35:25.359
they've lived the longest. And that's
not a coincidence, right, there's a

1215
01:35:25.399 --> 01:35:29.039
correlation there. Yeah, he's in
great shape. But for somebody like that

1216
01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:31.359
still to get in the ring at
the age of seventy, I mean he

1217
01:35:31.520 --> 01:35:36.479
has to use a cane to walk
around. Yeah, I don't I so

1218
01:35:36.760 --> 01:35:39.920
he has to be trolling. There's
no way he shows up at the Royal

1219
01:35:40.000 --> 01:35:42.840
Rumble. I mean that would be, but it would introduce him to a

1220
01:35:42.880 --> 01:35:46.800
whole new generation, right, get
famous? Right? I think I think

1221
01:35:46.840 --> 01:35:50.119
the fans already know who he is. It's not like there's no no wrestling

1222
01:35:50.159 --> 01:35:53.960
fan is going to be watching,
going who's this guy. I'm being starcastic

1223
01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:57.439
with a younger generation thinking they invented
everything right with that story we had,

1224
01:35:57.520 --> 01:35:59.880
so they're like, ah, roommates, it's a new thing. Yeah,

1225
01:36:00.000 --> 01:36:02.600
if he dies, like nobody knew
who Dale Earnhardt was, right, So

1226
01:36:02.800 --> 01:36:06.720
all right, somebody's gonna get mad
about that. Yeah, yeah, but

1227
01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:11.920
no, although Rick Flair got in
the ring down in Charlotte what not that

1228
01:36:12.079 --> 01:36:15.359
long ago and he's still with us, so and he's got a he's got

1229
01:36:15.439 --> 01:36:17.399
a wu coin now, so he's
a busy man, all right, eight

1230
01:36:17.439 --> 01:36:21.039
forty five raced age. It converted
all his four one two WU coin.

1231
01:36:21.560 --> 01:36:28.600
Yes, fingers crossed the Rick Flair
cryptocurrency, Yes crypto. Doesn't he have

1232
01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:31.000
an energy drink too? Ross?
He probably does. He's got a he's

1233
01:36:31.000 --> 01:36:34.600
got an energy drink too. Which
if somebody's gonna sell an energy drink and

1234
01:36:34.720 --> 01:36:38.600
you and you want it as a
consumer, like you're wondering will it work?

1235
01:36:38.840 --> 01:36:41.239
And then you have Rick Flair pitching
it. You're like, that's gotta

1236
01:36:41.319 --> 01:36:45.720
work. Yeah, I mean why
not? Absolutely, that guy get on

1237
01:36:45.199 --> 01:36:48.920
he's on an eight ball of the
Yeah, the hours that we get up,

1238
01:36:48.920 --> 01:36:53.039
we could use a little kick,
right. Oh man, Oh geez,

1239
01:36:53.159 --> 01:36:55.479
I'm sure it's it's called WU or
something. Anyway, I'm sorry we

1240
01:36:55.520 --> 01:36:59.079
got into yeah, but uh,
let's get into a weather thing show.

1241
01:36:59.239 --> 01:37:00.960
Yeah, weather thing. Yeah,
it looks a little bit like spring or

1242
01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:05.239
early summer. There's high pressure parked
off the Atlantic, and that's actually going

1243
01:37:05.319 --> 01:37:09.479
to weaken the rain as it approaches, but we'll still get some. There's

1244
01:37:09.479 --> 01:37:13.239
been some light rain and drizzle around
this morning and into the afternoon and this

1245
01:37:13.439 --> 01:37:16.520
evening from west to east. It's
probably like overnight tonight, some showers thunderstorms

1246
01:37:16.560 --> 01:37:19.119
that'll come on in and we'll probably
get to the ground as we go on

1247
01:37:19.159 --> 01:37:24.199
through tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night.
The heaviest rain stays west, although a

1248
01:37:24.279 --> 01:37:29.239
lot of clouds and warm temperatures upper
sixties even into the low seventies by tomorrow

1249
01:37:29.279 --> 01:37:32.399
and Friday, so don't expect much
of the way of right sunshine if any

1250
01:37:32.479 --> 01:37:35.640
through Friday, maybe even Saturdays.
We'll get more showers there, temperatures in

1251
01:37:35.640 --> 01:37:40.239
the mid sixties. It gets better
late in the weekend early next week,

1252
01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:43.640
cooler temperatures and dry weather coming in. Might be in for a stretch of

1253
01:37:43.840 --> 01:37:47.000
multiple dry days. On Sunday,
low sixties and low's at night, back

1254
01:37:47.039 --> 01:37:50.159
down close to forty for Monday morning, and then back down your freezing for

1255
01:37:50.239 --> 01:37:54.439
Monday night and Tuesday morning. So
we'll get out of this stuff. Kind

1256
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:57.720
of cloudy, dreary, even some
fog at times over the next few days,

1257
01:37:57.760 --> 01:38:00.159
and then the rain and thunderstorms coming
through, probably in rounds. It'll

1258
01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:04.600
be tough to time it too,
so just be ready this afternoon tonight than

1259
01:38:04.720 --> 01:38:09.439
probably another round sometime tomorrow into Friday. Also, oh wow, okay,

1260
01:38:09.640 --> 01:38:12.319
yeah, I mean it doesn't sound
great, but no, I think we

1261
01:38:12.439 --> 01:38:15.399
avoid flooding and we avoid any ice. There's not even a chance any of

1262
01:38:15.479 --> 01:38:18.159
that. So we're good. Okay, Thanks, we'll talk tomorrow and Jeff

1263
01:38:18.159 --> 01:38:23.479
Bellinger joins us next hang on.
Thank you. Casey is on ninety four

1264
01:38:23.600 --> 01:38:28.640
five w PTI and the Triad one
six one af M Talk in the Triangle

1265
01:38:30.359 --> 01:38:34.079
Update now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's going on? Good morning,

1266
01:38:34.159 --> 01:38:39.039
Casey, mixed clothes on Wall Street
yesterday, but it looks like a positive

1267
01:38:39.079 --> 01:38:43.199
start ahead for the midweek session.
Futures are higher right across the board now,

1268
01:38:43.319 --> 01:38:46.199
futures are up one hundred and thirty
eight points. Netflix is coming off

1269
01:38:46.239 --> 01:38:50.600
a big quarter. It added more
than thirteen million subscribers in the final three

1270
01:38:50.720 --> 01:38:55.880
months of twenty twenty three. That's
the most for any quarter since a surge

1271
01:38:55.960 --> 01:39:00.640
in the early days of pandemic lockdowns. Netflix share a sale rather stopped forecasts.

1272
01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:04.600
eBay is planning a round of layoffs. The e commerce company will cut

1273
01:39:04.640 --> 01:39:10.359
about one thousand workers and cut back
its use of contractors. Overall, home

1274
01:39:10.439 --> 01:39:14.199
loan demand picked up last week,
driven by a seven and a half percent

1275
01:39:14.359 --> 01:39:18.640
increase in applications for new mortgages.
Home purchase applications hit a nine month high

1276
01:39:18.840 --> 01:39:24.239
last week. A majority of Americans
live close to the edge financially. Less

1277
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:29.159
than half of the people surveyed by
bankrate dot com say they have enough emergency

1278
01:39:29.239 --> 01:39:33.000
savings to cover an unexpected one thousand
dollars expense. People say they'd have to

1279
01:39:33.079 --> 01:39:38.319
use credit cards, personal loans,
borrow from family or friends, or cut

1280
01:39:38.399 --> 01:39:42.359
their spending on other things to cover
a surprise bill of that size. In

1281
01:39:42.520 --> 01:39:45.560
case, Apple will not be adding
vehicles to its line of products for at

1282
01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:50.399
least another four years, and sources
Toll Bloomberg, the iPhone maker no longer

1283
01:39:50.600 --> 01:39:56.720
envisions a truly driverless car. With
the latest changes, Apple reportedly hopes to

1284
01:39:56.800 --> 01:40:00.520
launch an electric car in twenty twenty
eight. That would be the early the

1285
01:40:00.680 --> 01:40:04.479
vehicle will not be self driving,
casey, Okay, one last thing to

1286
01:40:04.600 --> 01:40:09.319
kill me, all right, thank
you appreciate it. Okay, yeah,

1287
01:40:09.359 --> 01:40:12.279
yeah, yeah, all right,
a couple of things for oh, the

1288
01:40:12.359 --> 01:40:15.399
mel Gibson thing, all right,
real quick, So and this is actually

1289
01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:19.079
because there's a boot involved, but
it's not the boot theory, which is

1290
01:40:19.199 --> 01:40:23.640
a kind of a different thing,
but it's kind of also that but also

1291
01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:28.159
its own thing. Does that make
sense? Okay? So mel Gibson has

1292
01:40:28.239 --> 01:40:35.079
been photographed recently with multiple injuries,
including he had to walk with a cane

1293
01:40:35.119 --> 01:40:40.319
for a little while and he was
in he's in a walking boot, and

1294
01:40:40.520 --> 01:40:44.000
he had his arm in a sling
a few months ago. And so obviously

1295
01:40:44.199 --> 01:40:48.960
you know what's going on here,
Illuminati and or the Jews. So that

1296
01:40:49.279 --> 01:40:57.119
was that's that's where we're at now. Obviously you know, mel Gibson's got

1297
01:40:57.119 --> 01:41:00.319
a little history there, but more
recently he was actually one of the folks

1298
01:41:00.359 --> 01:41:08.279
who was testifying and providing quote what
was described as valuable intelligence to authorities as

1299
01:41:08.399 --> 01:41:14.920
they were putting together child trafficking stuff, right, and and he leaned in

1300
01:41:15.039 --> 01:41:19.720
in an interview to how there's a
Hollywood connection too to trafficking. And it

1301
01:41:19.800 --> 01:41:26.560
might not be secret tunnels under pizza
places, but Hollywood's got a filthy history.

1302
01:41:26.600 --> 01:41:30.479
I'm looking at a certain director who
can't even come into the country,

1303
01:41:30.359 --> 01:41:34.119
and so the theory is that he's
all these they keep coming over and beating

1304
01:41:34.159 --> 01:41:38.880
the crap out of him like mob
enforcers. But in the latest photo,

1305
01:41:39.039 --> 01:41:44.039
his black balking boot is now a
white walking boot because that's him indicating that

1306
01:41:44.159 --> 01:41:49.000
he surrenders. So there you go. Now there's another boot thing because but

1307
01:41:49.159 --> 01:41:54.640
that's just those are convicted or those
are people that are childless. So if

1308
01:41:54.680 --> 01:41:57.600
you're in the conspiracy theories, the
boot theory is if you ever see a

1309
01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:00.600
celebrity like they're the recent ones or
Tom Hanks and I think Julie Roberts,

1310
01:42:00.640 --> 01:42:04.640
they were walking around with the and
Ellen DeGeneres like the big black boot on

1311
01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:09.760
yes, yeah, what that theory
is and this is conspiracy theory, sure,

1312
01:42:09.840 --> 01:42:13.720
sure, off the bat, this
is it's a it's a cute thing.

1313
01:42:13.960 --> 01:42:16.840
So the secret government that's truly in
controlled being run by Donald Trump,

1314
01:42:16.920 --> 01:42:20.399
are going after pedophiles. And what
you do if you see a celebrity in

1315
01:42:20.479 --> 01:42:25.680
one of those black boots, there's
actually a tracking device. It's like ah,

1316
01:42:25.960 --> 01:42:28.800
like a like an ankle bracelet,
so the government can keep tabs of

1317
01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:30.600
them, so they don't you know, molest children or whatever it is.

1318
01:42:31.600 --> 01:42:34.920
Well, people still do. Like
we had a story this story yesterday the

1319
01:42:35.000 --> 01:42:39.600
crazy woman and got arrested. She
was wearing her ankle monitors, so I

1320
01:42:39.640 --> 01:42:43.520
don't know. Oh and the guy
who tried to trade drugs for buffalo wild

1321
01:42:43.560 --> 01:42:47.520
wings pickles also wearing an anklet.
So there's there's that. Are they the

1322
01:42:47.600 --> 01:42:50.479
clones or are they the actual I'm
not sure. I don't know. Wow,

1323
01:42:50.640 --> 01:42:54.720
Okay, but if you see the
celebrity, that's that's what the conspiracy

1324
01:42:54.760 --> 01:42:58.319
theorists believe. Oh, Harry,
I haven't heard the white one machine.

1325
01:42:58.479 --> 01:42:59.920
Well no, yeah. And then
there's the other thing. If you have

1326
01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:01.560
see it, like a celebrity with
a black eye, that's the initiation to

1327
01:43:01.560 --> 01:43:05.199
get into some sort of weird elitist
club. Oh wow, well, Harry

1328
01:43:05.239 --> 01:43:08.600
Reid, would you know, he
sounds like an elitist club kind of guy.

1329
01:43:08.680 --> 01:43:13.399
But I don't know. I heard
that. I read that was over

1330
01:43:13.479 --> 01:43:16.159
a land deal the river, So
so yeah, we got that going for

1331
01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:19.159
us. All Right, I'm gonna
do. I have to do the number.

1332
01:43:19.319 --> 01:43:21.600
Just I want you to keep this
number of my two numbers. One

1333
01:43:23.880 --> 01:43:27.000
that day that Donald Trump was sitting
in that movie with Pelosi where she's jamming

1334
01:43:27.039 --> 01:43:30.119
her finger at him. If you
remember, he was offering daka amnesty or

1335
01:43:30.119 --> 01:43:33.079
at least a discussion, and he
wanted six billion for the wall. They're

1336
01:43:33.159 --> 01:43:36.319
like, no way, now,
we can't afford it, can't do that.

1337
01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:43.359
The numbers have come out on just
federl spending on housing wait for it tomorrow
