1
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.439
All right, good morning everybody.
It is Friday. It is six o

2
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:53.200
seven. Sorry, we're the best
audience. We are the best audience or

3
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.960
the worst audience. And if you
think you're in the best, you probably

4
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:02.600
are, so don't worry about it. That's just the name of the game.

5
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:15.400
Man. Somebody, somebody's been sending
me really weird pictures, man,

6
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.439
trying to help prove that there's wolves
in wake Forest, and I've just kind

7
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.840
of ignored it till now. So
Ross, you got some believers up there,

8
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.120
man, let me tell you what
I think. That's a dog footprints.

9
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.439
All right, well, thanks for
that. It is Friday, so

10
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.519
you know there'll be a certain level
of weirdness in everything we do today.

11
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:53.640
So got that? All right?
Coming up on the show? Is there

12
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.599
a bunch of hotties at UNC or
not? Am I allowed to ask that

13
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:05.680
question? Can I make that statement? I thought this story had I thought

14
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.439
there had to be more to this
story. So I read Wril's version,

15
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.840
then I read one that was done
by the student newspaper, and again you

16
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:22.759
handicap it based on where the reporting's
happening, because I thought, well,

17
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.919
there's got to be more here,
but apparently not. The case. All

18
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.800
right, so if you don't know
about this, and yes it is Friday,

19
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:39.319
so a little lighter approach to what
we do. Apparently some dude by

20
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:47.199
the name of Rob Cole recently introduced
as the new wrestling coach over at UNC,

21
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.319
and don't even get me started on
the whole history of wrestling coaches over

22
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.879
at UNC and some of the new
that's surrounded, including a former coach whose

23
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.560
son all through the Meet too era
that was the thing. Look it up.

24
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.960
So you know, if you're going
to be the wrestling coach, you

25
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.719
should probably be a winner. You're
going to be at an upper level school,

26
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:30.240
and coach Cole seemed to fit that
bill former national champion nineteen eighty eight

27
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.520
as a tar hill. That's right, probably helps if that's the school you

28
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:46.280
went to, too carries the most
wins in UNC and ACC history, so

29
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.919
they name him the new wrestling coach
over there. And I will admit I'm

30
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:59.639
not one hundred percent on the various
I say wrestling, but we'll say wrestling

31
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:08.240
for this because obviously it's defined NCAA
wrestling. I'm not super familiar with what

32
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.840
all the power teams are. I
used to have a little better knowledge of

33
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:17.319
it, just because we had quite
a few wrestlers that came out of Wyoming.

34
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.279
Who do you Rulon Gardner kind of
a big deal. First guy to

35
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:30.040
beat the Russians, Greco Roman and
Forever and Gold medaled a few Olympics ago,

36
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.319
and it was it was a big
deal. And my buddy, who

37
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.040
we referred to as Bubba but his
name was Daniel, was our heavyweight,

38
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.959
had to wrestle Roulan in high school. And Bubba was a good wrestler man.

39
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.279
He got scouted by like Nebraska and
a few other teams, but Rulon

40
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:56.839
destroyed him. And then who else
do we have? We had Garrett Viit,

41
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.439
we had a few guys that won
nationals. I went to Iowa,

42
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.560
so I kind of knew what the
power teams were. So I'm looking at

43
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.160
the story and admittedly, when they
send the press release, it's probably not

44
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.240
something we're gonna do. This isn't
really a sports station, even though we

45
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:25.319
talk about sports. So what happens, Well, dude does a podcast talking

46
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:36.000
you know, almost primarily wrestling,
but specifically is answering questions about, Hey,

47
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.439
you got recruited, this is your
school, you set the records here?

48
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.720
How are you going to bring top
talent to UNC, which is a

49
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:57.360
logical question, and he gets into
it and he says something that is apparently

50
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:05.480
so offensive that some of the kids
over on campus can't deal. And I

51
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.480
assume, by the way, I
assume even though you know, we make

52
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:17.639
the the UNC jokes, all of
that, and college campuses are a constant

53
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:25.720
push of the stack. The majority
of kids on a college campus, they're

54
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:38.519
not the whacked out social justice warriors, worm burning rallies with paraglider leaflets.

55
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:46.600
I mean that that's not the majority, but you know, the mindset definitely

56
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:55.000
attaches itself a little bit to a
lot of students, even if they're not

57
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.519
ones who are necessarily going to gather
in the quad with you know, f

58
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.240
is real signs. So I try
to always be able to look at it

59
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:14.439
through through that lens. And the
conversation that this dude has on the podcast

60
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:26.160
seems like the most normal thing ever, And yet has UH has apparently drawn

61
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:32.680
controversy, including from fellow staff members. So what did the new wrestling coach

62
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:46.879
say on a podcast that has caused
not just activist students but activists UH employees

63
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:53.639
to lose their mind? It must
have been wildly insulting. I we'll tell

64
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:58.839
you what that is, and that's
just gonna be. That's just gonna be

65
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:07.040
one aspect of the Friday Show.
Okay. Also we got we got State

66
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:16.560
News love that very big fan and
a coordinated effort by several media outlets to

67
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:24.600
explain to you why the economy's awesome. You got it so great and you

68
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.279
just don't know it. And we'll
see if you're convinced. Plus the latest

69
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:37.360
on the speakers thing and much more
in Pete Calendar eight oh five. So

70
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:43.080
that's Friday in a nutshell and we'll
dive right in coming up here on the

71
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:50.279
KCO day radio program Smart Talk all
Day ninety four to five w PTI in

72
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:56.320
the Triad and one six one FM
Talk in the Triangle. Wait, so

73
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.960
you're like volunt Ross is volunteering to
be the search committee if they do need

74
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.480
a new wrestling time. I don't. I think you do. It'll probably

75
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:11.279
keep his gig so but anyway,
No, So I'm reading this story and

76
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:20.840
I don't even know. Man,
this the new wrestling coach UNC named Coach

77
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:30.840
August thirty first, former tar Heel
National Champion, holds a bunch of records

78
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.679
exactly the kind of dude you're probably
going to hire to be your coach.

79
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:43.399
And look whether all that success transfers
to coaching success will find out. But

80
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:52.159
one podcast has has has mobilized the
moonbats against this dude. All right,

81
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.320
I'm warning you, I'm going to
play this. You've been warned. What

82
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:05.279
he said to ring the podcast?
Now? Did he say death to Israel?

83
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.480
Did he encourage people to burn down
buildings or something? No? No,

84
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.440
didn't get into any of that.
No, he said this, what's

85
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.320
so worried about Chapel Hill. First
of all, it's sixty percent women,

86
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:26.879
for God's sakes, and in ninety
five percent of are are attractive, now

87
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.960
you know, and it's just a
really the little campus for young eighteen to

88
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.320
twenty two year old then you know, I mean, good lord, why

89
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.639
didn't you know? Would you?
I want to go there? And it

90
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.519
was so funny what and and they
had this sorority, they had the soarty

91
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.679
in weekend. While I was there
last weekend, and I look at it,

92
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.440
it's like ninety five percent girls are
like, why do we not have

93
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.200
a recruiting again this week? All
right? So he's answering a question about

94
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.840
you know, how do we do
a better or you know, in the

95
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.639
UNC sense, how does UNC do
a better job of recruiting? And he's

96
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.480
talking about why he thinks it's not
going to be you know, one of

97
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.480
the reasons he goes on to talk
about in a huge amount of other reasons,

98
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.240
ones that are more technical in nature. Do you know what I'm saying,

99
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.559
right like, look at the competition, look at the ability, look

100
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.240
at the look at the resources the
university makes available, all good arguments for

101
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:35.639
why he thinks UNC should be able
to recruit, exactly what you would expect

102
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.720
a coach to say. But he
also points to the campus environment, and

103
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:48.559
let's face it, a campus environment
that may be something that dudes notice when

104
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:54.759
they're thinking about coming to campus.
I'm not understanding what the issue is,

105
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:03.399
but that's because obviously I'm a monster, is well. Ariana Vigil, chair

106
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.000
of Department of Women's and Gender Studies
at UNC, says, the words we're

107
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:20.679
marginalizing, comments such as that unfortunately
support misogyny and hetero sexism. Okay,

108
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:31.000
wait a second is wait, so
hetero sexism is that negative? I'm trying

109
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.919
to figure out why that's Why is
that a problem now? Misogyny I understand

110
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:45.759
as an insult, But hetero sexism
are you is that it supports traditional sex

111
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:54.720
couples or sexism within a hetero From
a hetero perspective, I'm not one hundred

112
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:01.159
percent on this. She goes on
to say it reduces females to students to

113
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.799
their physical beauty and imply that women's
value is measured by their attractiveness to men.

114
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.919
I don't think he said that at
all. I think you pointed out

115
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.399
that if you know, you're an
eighteen nineteen year old dude who likes women,

116
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.840
might be a place you enjoy.
And I would also point out that

117
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.320
there are women. I know this
may come as a shock to some in

118
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:48.360
the UNC system. There are women
who attend that school who like dudes,

119
00:13:48.480 --> 00:14:03.279
and perhaps might even put some value
in their physical appearance as part of the

120
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:13.159
whole dating environment, and might also
find themselves attracted to male athletes on the

121
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:22.000
university campus. I know this is
craziness, absolute insanity. Perhaps you know,

122
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.960
due to the fact that probably they
value their physical appearance, it is

123
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.360
an aspect of it. I don't
think the guy said, hey, come

124
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:39.240
here because it's a bunch of smoke
show dumb floozies, and you can you

125
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.399
know you can, just you can
run through a whole sorority. I don't

126
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.320
think he implied that at all.
I think he basically said, look,

127
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:56.320
thinking about it when I was eighteen, being on a campus, get a

128
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:03.000
lot of beautiful women. It's a
good aspect. But no, now he's

129
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.279
he's come out and apologized, which
is unfortunate because again, if you think

130
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:20.279
that bending a knee to that insanity
is going to get the people who are

131
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.639
critical of you to go okay,
well, look he admitted he was wrong,

132
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:33.159
and everything's fine, Cole tells WRAL, which again, never speak to

133
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:39.799
those people. He's embarrassed and feels
remorseful about what he said. Unc Athletics

134
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:45.080
said they discussed the interview immediately after
it happened, and Cole expressed regret,

135
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:52.200
and he says his thirty five years
of action supporting women's wrestling will speak louder

136
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:58.559
than his words on the podcast.
He previously coached at Stanford and Cornell.

137
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:08.320
This is where we are now,
and again, as many insane college stories

138
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:21.360
as we do, rally coverage various
moonbats in higher ed positions of power who

139
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:27.320
seem to have an oversized amount of
press time. Vast majority of college students

140
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:37.480
are just there to be college students, do the parties, date right,

141
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.600
mingle with the opposite sex or the
same sex for that matter, and are

142
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.679
not really up in the politics.
But this guy's apologizing already. Man,

143
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.080
all right, So if you were
deeply hurt, I'm sorry. I tried

144
00:16:52.080 --> 00:17:00.960
to warn you. But that's the
controversy. Thank you. Casey is on

145
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.920
nine w pt I and the Triad
and one six one f M Talk in

146
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:11.920
the Triangle. When was the so, when was the last time you watched

147
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:18.319
an actual NCAA wrestling match. Ross
is a little kid. I've been uh,

148
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.440
well, this story broke. So
I was checking out some footage Ross

149
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.160
and they're unhappy with the current state
of college wrestling. And I'm disgusted at

150
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:33.279
this coach because he pointed out that
there's poet Listen, we need somebody with

151
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.559
a better track record, we need
an actual champion, we need a North

152
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:44.880
Carolina right natives, so representing North
Carolina. Somebody who respects women. So

153
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.160
somebody likes to woo women. Is
that where we're going here? Did hey,

154
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:53.640
did you know that there's no diet? That's what I was watching.

155
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.720
I'm like, I watch these matches
after seeing this story break. Not one

156
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:06.039
pile driver, not one power bomb. Well, Rick Flair for coach?

157
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:15.759
You want Rick Flair to coach collegiate
wrestling? Yes, I do. You

158
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.559
realize that there are things that are
times he's won the world championship. You

159
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:25.400
know, you can't grab a chair. You can't grab a chair during I

160
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.480
mean knowledge rests, technically you can't, right if the refuse watch it.

161
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.000
That's why your manager comes in.
You have somebody, like you know,

162
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:36.559
a champion like Rick Flair who's going
to distract him, or maybe you get

163
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:42.960
an assistant coach who identifies as Cuban. Perhaps that'd be great. And uh

164
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:51.519
is Uh has a skill set of
distracting the the officials right right, they're

165
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.599
very good at it. I'm saying
that one finger for yeah. I you

166
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.920
know, I'm thinking about it as
and admittedly it's been a long time,

167
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:10.440
but as I understand, there are
I guess there are technically certain pro wrestling

168
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.839
style moves that you could technically get
away with, right because you I mean

169
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:21.119
a throws a thing. A lot
of it's about where your hands are from

170
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:23.640
what I remember, and again I
only wrestled one year, and I did

171
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.640
it because a lot of the guys
that played football with that was kind of

172
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:32.680
their secondary thing, and I don't
know, it wasn't for me. It

173
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:37.960
wasn't for me. So I mean, just in just remembering, there's probably

174
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.079
a few things you could do,
but all of the stuff you listed you

175
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:48.799
can't do that. And I feel
like that would be an actual liability for

176
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.799
the coach, right if he's taking
his team out there and he's like,

177
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:57.960
all right, so today we're going
to figure out how you can pretend throw

178
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.599
an elbow into a fie faces so
that they wander around holding their face and

179
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.440
then you do a bunch of horribleness
and then hit somebody with a chair.

180
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:12.319
Like that's not going to be a
day in practice. But you just want

181
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.119
ric flair there, and you don't
want it for the wrestling. You want

182
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.119
it for the press conferences? Am
I being an accurate? I want it

183
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:23.559
for the championships? Okay? I
want somebody who's going to deliver Yeah,

184
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:33.920
well styles, now one feather boa. So you want somebody who's both styling

185
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:38.880
and profiling. Yes, yes,
now you get it and you come over

186
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:44.960
here, no no, no,
out look I'm not invested in UNC's wrestling

187
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:51.880
future reaching across the aisle and smacking
you in the chest. Do you ever

188
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.039
think that maybe he doesn't want to
be the like it's just good to be

189
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.880
him, do you know what I
mean? Right? None of that responsibility.

190
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:02.319
I don't think he'd have to put
in a lot of effort because it

191
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.200
comes natural. I just think he'd
just show up. He just bring a

192
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:08.799
bunch of vhs is in from back
in the day, exactly there, we'll

193
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.440
watch this and then once you see
do this. I mean, I don't

194
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:17.519
have the information in front of me, just imagining. He probably gets you

195
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.039
know, most most of us plubs. So we have to pay for the

196
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:25.519
w WE video membership. He probably
gets that for free. No, that's

197
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:33.079
probably probably contracted in. So would
you say he might also have some advice

198
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:38.599
for his his wrestlers, going and
and drawing on his years of experience on

199
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.240
what they you know, what they
might do at his sorority party. Hey,

200
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.519
I've already said he respects women and
they respect him. They love oh,

201
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:55.480
they love the fans. I've seen
some tape right or he is He's

202
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:07.160
wearing his boa and is seemingly mobbed
with women though it was very eighties ish

203
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.240
most of the tape. Listen,
but you know, whatever, no one

204
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.279
pair of elegator shoes. Well,
I think there they are. You know,

205
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:26.880
it is probably pretty specifically defined what
is acceptable gear. So that sounds

206
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:33.640
like an NC double A issue or
maybe an ACC issue and not something that

207
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:34.920
Rick Flair could just come in and
change. Or maybe you know, if

208
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.519
you and see here's that proposal that
I put forth, and they're like,

209
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.640
you know, that's ridiculous that guy
say it always, it would be it

210
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.440
would be bad for the school.
Yes, maybe you should stick with the

211
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.079
guy you have because maybe the controversy
isn't actually a controversy. Yeah, well

212
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.960
there is that. I'm just pointing
out there are alternatives of if they want

213
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:57.960
to go down that road. I
just I it's I and I I don't

214
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:04.599
want to say I understand. And
now that he's bent the knee already tyronically

215
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:11.279
is from your wrestling coach, right, So even that description of it is

216
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:18.079
more self defeating when you think about
it. But ah, so annoying,

217
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.880
perfect Friday story. But that's where
we are, so I have so my

218
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:30.119
question is just to stir the pod. Does that mean that Ariana Vigil,

219
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.920
Chair of Department of Women's and Gender
Studies doesn't think that the co eds are

220
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:42.039
hot? Is she body shaming the
women? Absolutely hideous? Oh my hideous

221
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:48.119
dude. Wait hold on, just
because this will wildly irritate. Hold on,

222
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.119
I you know I should have done
this, all right, I haven't

223
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:57.559
looked it up. So the this
this staff member is mad. What do

224
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:04.279
you think hot or not hot?
You had to guess. I'm gonna look

225
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.960
up I'm gonna look up a photo. I would say, I would say

226
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:15.279
physically hot, but internally hideous and
insufferable. I mean, last time I

227
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.799
drove through Chapel Hill and I saw
the females there, I just assumed they

228
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.119
were all in scholarship because they all
look like the elephant woman. Like I

229
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.559
don't know if there's been an elephant
woman, there's been the elephant man.

230
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.799
Like we know the elephant man.
I'm like, oh my god, have

231
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.880
family. I mean, which one
is it? Are they attractive or are

232
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.079
they hideous? Because I don't think
what the coach said was insulting on any

233
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:42.799
level. No, it was incredibly
complimentary. Right. What do you You're

234
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.039
getting mad at the dude for what
do you want to go down the other

235
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:51.079
road. Well, no, that's
what I'm saying. I projectile vomited under

236
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:57.119
my windshield caused an accident because they
were so hideous. I'm like, y'all,

237
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:02.119
I'm assuming they give free scholar ships
to these horribly ugly women there.

238
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.759
Uh oh all right, wait,
hold on, I just found it.

239
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.920
All right, So your guess is, uh, well you're now you're going

240
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:21.319
off of all right, you got
your phone, grab your phone. This

241
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:27.480
textage is something there. I feel
like I feel like I may be understanding

242
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:36.240
some of the motivation though I think, yes, you know what, you

243
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:41.200
know what I'm saying. I'm just
I don't know. I can't think of

244
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.240
the person that is pissed off?
Is like the night the five percent?

245
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.680
That because what do you say?
The number was ninety five, so you

246
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.880
think she's a part of the five
percent. I didn't say that. I

247
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.400
just simply said I have no opinion
on the matter. I you know,

248
00:25:55.599 --> 00:26:00.960
did you get the photo? Yeah? Okay, all right, hold on

249
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.640
scying people. This is science.
You're listening to science. But I mean,

250
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.680
the guy was it was a joke, right, that's the thing.

251
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.720
It wasn't even a joke. It
was a lighthearted observation, exactly what I'm

252
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.000
saying, right, he was.
It was being funny. He was trying

253
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.599
to be funny. Once upon a
time we could be funnier at least attempt

254
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.519
or try to be funny. And
now it's like, this is the same

255
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:29.279
campus where you had people, you
know, supporting Hamas right right now,

256
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:33.440
it's okay, but this guy making
a joke. Not even the campus,

257
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:41.680
just lighthearted discussion. She looks like
she has a great personality though, right,

258
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:56.240
m what what probably funny people could
get so upset. I don't honestly,

259
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.000
I don't care. All right,
well hold on, let me find

260
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.400
all right? Did you do you
do? All right? Sending you another

261
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:18.039
picture. It's a picture of one
of the unc sororities from last year.

262
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.000
Uh. It looks to me,
I don't know, maybe like forty forty

263
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:40.559
women in this uh in this photo? Do you do you feel that it's

264
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:48.880
that it's good evidence or important aspects
to at least consider when trying to figure

265
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.839
out the motivations here, Because again, he didn't even he didn't say,

266
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:59.119
oh, it's a bunch of beautiful
women and they're easy, or like,

267
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:08.240
he didn't say anything disrespectful in evaluating
what was going on. He made a

268
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:15.880
very offhanded observation, and he did
it as though he was providing thoughts from

269
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:23.039
a perspective of what a eighteen or
nineteen year old dude may think when going

270
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:30.000
on a campus visit. And let
me explain something to you, and I

271
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.519
guess some of you who are more
uptight will be shocked by this. When

272
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:42.440
they bring a student athlete in for
a campus visit, they're going to show

273
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.160
them a wide variety of things on
campus. And it's going to be things

274
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:53.960
like training facility. Right, here's
the locker room. There's a reason university

275
00:28:53.960 --> 00:29:00.279
has put a lot of a lot
of money into that. Here's the coaching

276
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:07.160
staff. That's going to be something
they care about. But also here's campus

277
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.880
life, right. And one of
the things that they're going to go do,

278
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:19.599
especially during when they have more organized
visit windows for student athletes, is

279
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.599
college kids are going to go to
They're going to go experience some of the

280
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.839
I want to say party is the
wrong word. I mean that that probably

281
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:33.400
will be some aspect of it,
but you know, more of the recreational

282
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:45.519
social offerings at the university, and
that's that's going to be part of it.

283
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:53.440
And that's just the reality of it. And this guy's getting getting cooked

284
00:29:53.480 --> 00:30:04.119
for literally repeating what is likely something
that a student athlete who went and visited

285
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.640
a campus, if one of his
buddies is like, hey, man,

286
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.279
what'd you think, and he's like, oh man, we want some sorority

287
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.720
parties. Holy cow, right,
But it's not going to be the totality

288
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:19.759
of it, probably even though they're
full of hormones and they're eighteen nineteen whatever,

289
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.920
right, but we'll be like,
yeah, oh man, the coaches

290
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.759
were great. You should see the
locker room facilities. They're great. Went

291
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.519
to some sorority parties, Oh my
gosh, right, it's going to be

292
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.400
part of all of this. And
yeah, I am harping on this because

293
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:47.039
every single day it's something more and
more innocuous, which is some grave insult

294
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:53.960
when and it's not how the majority
of people think. That's why I keep

295
00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:00.119
saying this. The majority of college
students are not represented by the one hundred

296
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:07.440
or so they gather with their paraglide
brochures screaming death to Israel or doing roly

297
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:19.000
poly sitting weird protests. It's just
not And whenever you do a story like

298
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:26.119
this, and you treat it as
though they get to dictate what the status

299
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:33.400
quo is. I'm gonna push back
because that's not And what will happen is

300
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:37.440
the majority of students, though,
will sit there and go, you know

301
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.160
what, I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna put a toe in this water,

302
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:48.960
I whatever. And you know they'll
be more careful as to who they share

303
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:53.680
their opinions with. But it doesn't
change human nature and human nature when you

304
00:31:53.839 --> 00:32:00.039
are eighteen years old and going into
college and you're out a bunch of people

305
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:04.799
that are you know, in as
a as a from a totality or in

306
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:09.000
the best shape of their lives,
right their young skin has their skin has

307
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:14.960
been ravaged by you know, twenty
years of going to topsail, sitting in

308
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:22.319
the sun, and and like that's
that's part of the experience. And and

309
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:27.000
you and you go through it and
you mature, hopefully some of us don't,

310
00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.960
and and you move on to prioritize
different things in life. And yes,

311
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:37.680
eventually you realize even if you're in
that very shallow mindset when you're young

312
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.519
and you're just like, ah,
you know, do whatever I want.

313
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:51.559
Uh, you know, eventually certain
other things become priorities to you. Am

314
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:54.759
I am? I am I making
sense here? Do you men or women

315
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:01.160
listening to the show, do you
prioritize the same things in your forties in

316
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:07.799
somebody you may be attracted to or
involved with, whether it is your husband

317
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.079
or wife now, or you're dating
or whatever it is, or just people

318
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:14.440
you see. Do you prioritize the
same things that you did when you were

319
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:22.680
eighteen? Corey? Probably not.
I don't and I'm as I'm as immature

320
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:29.599
as they come on a lot of
stuff, the physical appearance, especially at

321
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:35.359
that There's a reason that we have
a whole generation of people who who have

322
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:42.480
essentially nudes out there now right because
it because it's it's socially acceptable among half

323
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:47.880
of people in that age bracket to
send people that they're even casually dating photos

324
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:57.119
that would have been scandalous when I
was that age and when many of you

325
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.400
were. So the fact fact that
this is an individual who has to be

326
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:10.760
able on some levels to identify with
student athletes simply recognizing something that they may

327
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:19.960
prioritize that we got to do a
big story on this is absurd and for

328
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.679
a news agency like ARIL to run
around and be like, oh, this

329
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:28.519
is so horrible, we need to
get experts and all of this. Let

330
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:35.679
me ask you a question. If
it's so doesn't matter, why do your

331
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:43.239
on screen television hosts, reporters,
anchors, all the rest. Why do

332
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:51.880
they put even five minutes into their
appearance? Seriously, why doesn't somebody just

333
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:58.960
show up to read the news,
hair, disheveled outfit, you know whatever?

334
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:06.599
I call it the radio model?
Is that what you do? Or

335
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:13.519
do you demand that your anchors and
your TV reporters where a certain level of

336
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:22.480
attire, have their hair done,
go through makeup, and genuinely attempt to

337
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:34.360
have an appealing on air demeanor and
look, could you do it? Absolutely

338
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:38.840
one percent? I don't see a
guy running around in a I went to

339
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:43.800
New Mexico and all I got was
this lousy shirt, joke shirt with a

340
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.840
little mustard stain on it, looking
like they got BedHead because they slept on

341
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:52.119
their face and it's all red.
And now they have like the weird front

342
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:58.719
mohawk thing going. You don't,
because we recognize the way that you look

343
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:04.599
has some impact. Act, I'm
beating a dead horse here, but I

344
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:06.840
don't mean to, all right,
I need to take a break. We'll

345
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:45.519
be back. No, all right, good morning, everybody. Welcome to

346
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:57.039
get your hour number two here on
the k c O Day radio program phone

347
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:00.199
number. When we got call,
Yeah, we got this one. Oh

348
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:04.320
man, I got a bunch of
people hold him. They're like, ah,

349
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.000
I gotta go to work. Okay, Well we'll get hang on.

350
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.639
Those of you who are still holding
will get your calls. And that's good

351
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.519
because somebody sent me an email and
I was kind of you know, sometimes

352
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:24.519
I'm fishing for a response. It's
an old radio trick, right, And

353
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:30.079
this is good because this is going
to make my point for me. Ca

354
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.000
See, he is supposed to be
a role model in the lives of his

355
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:37.440
students. So if we're wanting men
to see more in women than just outward

356
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:44.400
physical appearance, then that's the attitude
that he needs to provide. If he

357
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:51.880
is simply reducing women to only their
outward appearance, that is not a benefit

358
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.000
in helping to shape young student athletes. He's not. See, here's the

359
00:37:55.039 --> 00:38:04.199
deal. When you say reducing,
you're imploied that there is a much thicker

360
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:13.360
dossier if he will, right,
So somebody knows somebody, they know how

361
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:16.400
you know personality, how they interact
with folks, what they like, what

362
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:21.320
they don't like, and then obviously
what they look like, because we got

363
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:28.840
eyeballs. And that person chooses to
disregard all of that other information and only

364
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:32.679
base their opinion on somebody on their
looks, which, by the way,

365
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.519
you're welcome to do. It's not
a winning strategy in life, though,

366
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:45.280
But that's not what he's saying.
What the coach was pointing out is if

367
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:49.400
you're some kid who comes for a
visit and you're you're you know, you're

368
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:52.519
getting the campus tour, and you
swing by those sorority houses there on I

369
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:57.400
can't remember whi street that is there, but I've I've driven down that road

370
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:06.760
and you're glancing over, You're like, oh man, look at that.

371
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:12.360
That's not an unusual reaction for an
eighteen year old because the only information he

372
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:19.840
may have now on his potential fellow
students is what he sees. He doesn't

373
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.599
know them, he doesn't know anything
about him. He doesn't know their name

374
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:27.280
and know what they're majoring in,
what they like, don't like, hobbies

375
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.000
like. He doesn't know any of
that, doesn't know the personality. So

376
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:36.239
it's not reducing somebody to that.
He's simply pointing out how somebody may react

377
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:42.519
based on what is largely the first
nugget of information we find out about people.

378
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.880
That's why I love radio. That's
why I love radio. Ross.

379
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.119
You would say, you know,
Ross and I are like, I don't.

380
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:55.800
I I want to be I want
to be straight up real all right,

381
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:00.679
we're going to Realville. Ross,
we're Ross and I are like nine's

382
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.199
maybe nine and a half. We
put the effort in. We're not tens.

383
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:06.400
You would agree, right, you
don't roll out. It been a

384
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:12.679
ten that takes work. Yeah,
natural state, natural baseline probably nine yeah,

385
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:15.880
yeah, nine and a half if
you really get all you know gussied

386
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:20.679
up right, and we accept that. That's fine. And that's why,

387
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:22.440
you know, in the world of
radio, since you know you can't see

388
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:28.800
us, we have to let other
aspects of our personality shine through. Now,

389
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.320
for some of you, including Megan, to send me this email,

390
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:38.000
she obviously she doesn't have a high
opinion of me. Actually, it wasn't

391
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.559
an implied email. I shouldn't look. I'm not going to imply that.

392
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.320
And I don't know anything about you, ma'am. I know what you wrote

393
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:47.079
here. And by the way,
I don't think your email was disrespectful.

394
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:57.320
But now the totality of what I
know about you is you feel that this

395
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:06.280
kind of behavior isn't what you would
want in a wrestling coach. Fine,

396
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.639
that's it. This is this is
how we go through life. This is

397
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:15.199
the reality. So yeah, and
you know, am I am I am

398
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:19.199
I taking too much time on it. Some of you probably think so,

399
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:25.320
But it's there's there's a lot of
layers here. There's the absurdity of this

400
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:31.599
guy having to apologize for this when
he's speaking as somebody who's trying to put

401
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:36.199
his he's trying to get in the
head of somebody who may be coming to

402
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:43.320
the university. By the way,
some coaches have a philosophy as to how

403
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:47.880
they even feel about their student athletes
being in relationships and and some would argue

404
00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:52.719
that's none of their business. I
knew a guy. He's passed away,

405
00:41:52.840 --> 00:42:00.119
but I got to know him.
He he played college football for Bear Bryant

406
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:05.400
at the University of Alabama. And
he wasn't a big dude, and he

407
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:12.800
was alignment. He played guard right
and his nickname I won't give you his

408
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:17.119
real name, but his nickname was
Tank all right, but he was He

409
00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:22.599
was a slight guy, but was
fat. I love talking to him back

410
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.480
in the day because I got to
know him. Just with this group of

411
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.079
guys I played golf with, I
got to know him. He played for

412
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:34.880
Bear Bryant, which in the world
of college football is a pretty legendary thing,

413
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:42.840
right, And it was very interesting
to hear stories of how Bear Bryant

414
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:47.440
was an influence in his life and
how he handled relationships at the time,

415
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:52.440
because you know, this is going
back fifty sixties. Man, he was

416
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:54.599
married. He's in college and he's
married. A lot of the players were,

417
00:42:54.800 --> 00:43:00.960
and the football players weren't allowed to
with her wives during the season,

418
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:06.960
right. So that was that coach's
philosophy on on what he thought of that.

419
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:13.440
So I knew a legendary coach in
US in Philly. It was a

420
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:17.280
boxing coach and he was He was
famous for saying that women weaken legs.

421
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:22.239
It's a good point. How's that
guy doing? He passed away? Man?

422
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.079
Oh no, he passed away before
before a fight. Oh wow,

423
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:31.440
okay, and not just the other
day. No, it wasn't not Paulie.

424
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:37.679
Wait, you think the legendary coach
is Paulie. Oh my god,

425
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.760
we're talking Mick here, buddy.
All right, all right, all right,

426
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.280
I'm sorry. Do you know what
I was? I was off in

427
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:52.559
my own thing. I just dropped
to an eight point seventy five, I

428
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:57.000
think, honestly, I think it
read too hard on yourself. Solid eight.

429
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:02.320
Oh wow, okay, I really
appreciate that. But there's also there's

430
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:09.119
also where we write an article like
this, the dude apologizes and and the

431
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:13.760
impression is given that the majority of
people think like this, and they just

432
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:22.639
don't because you're never going to eradicate
human nature. You're never going to eradicate

433
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:30.000
human nature. And human nature when
you're eighteen is not the same as when

434
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:36.199
you're twenty, or you're thirty or
you're forty. I'm assuming I don't want

435
00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:42.039
to get too deep here. I'm
assuming Ross that your decision to marry your

436
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:49.599
wife was not purely aesthetic. Right, That is correct? Right? There

437
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:54.760
were there were personality traits and things
that you agree you both hated. It's

438
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.280
not fair, though, because I
hit the jackpot, right, No,

439
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:04.159
I got bulld I got like Scarlett
Johansson's clone. Yeah, I got all

440
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:07.599
the good qualities, like if my
life was an RPG, and you're like

441
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.159
putting stats in the luck, I'm
like, eleven out of ten makes it.

442
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:13.480
I wouldn't believe it. I'd be
like this movie uh if no,

443
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:21.119
and you being just a nine right
but still able to get that oh completely

444
00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:28.159
right. No, So, and
I refuse to buckle to the idea that

445
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:31.119
that the majority of people because the
majority of people don't. But what happens

446
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:37.280
is more and more people will simply
not say anything. And that's where this

447
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:45.559
is problematic, because pure pressure,
even if it's peer pressure applied by people

448
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:52.000
who agree with them but feel that
they have to they have to abide by

449
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.920
this mentality that you're not allowed to
have an opinion on whether you want to

450
00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:04.039
go to a sorority party as a
college athlete. It's just dumb. And

451
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.000
also, let me let me just
put this out there. I would suspect

452
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:12.719
if you were to get uh,
you know, get some truth serum in

453
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:21.639
uh in some of these uh you
know, these sorority girls, they may

454
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:27.320
be more prioritized in a in a
social setting to talk to somebody who's a

455
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:34.440
member of the men's wrestling team versus
the men's chest team. You get what

456
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:39.800
I'm driving at and there's nothing wrong
with that. Look there, there's there's

457
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:47.719
all it's it's it's good to be
old enough to recognize that. If that

458
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:54.599
is the totality of your reason for
wanting to be around somebody, it's it's

459
00:46:54.639 --> 00:47:00.840
a losing battle, right, there's
a reason there. The crazy hot matrix

460
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:07.360
thing, Okay, but you have
to you have to, through self discovery

461
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:12.800
get there. And look, I
know people I have friends that are closer

462
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:22.480
to my age that that is all
they prioritize. And you know they're not

463
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:27.960
successful in the long term, but
that's for them whatever. So yes,

464
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.599
that's why I bring it up because
it's more than just what he said.

465
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:37.000
It's how we react to this and
we all pretend that it's that reality doesn't

466
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.239
exist. And as I told you
here on this show, it's all about

467
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:45.360
Reelsville. Man. That's why I
can admit that Ross and I are not

468
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:47.440
telling how many of the problems are
the news stories that we cover, right,

469
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:51.760
the quote stories, they're not really
stories. This is people over reacting

470
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:57.280
like this one are because people will
not acknowledge human nature and reality. And

471
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:00.519
you get a lot of them,
oh yeah, oh, so many of

472
00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:04.559
them, and look, are there
things within human nature that are undesirable?

473
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:09.440
And uh you should push back on
Sure, absolutely, I got no problem

474
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:15.199
with that. But I'm not going
to pretend, like the majority of people

475
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:21.000
think that seeing somebody who you don't
know anything about and making some sort of

476
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:24.199
judgment, even if it's not a
total judgment, but some sort of judgment

477
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.679
based on the first thing that you
notice, which is the physical appearance,

478
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:37.920
is unnatural. I'm not going to
play that game. So we'll sit here

479
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.079
and do this and we'll see what
you think. Eight eight eight nine three

480
00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:49.159
four seven eight seven four mark,
what's up? Hey, Good morning,

481
00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:52.320
Casey. I was just going to
let you know. I don't know if

482
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:57.360
you were around back in the Matt
Doherty here with UNC basketball, but he

483
00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:01.760
got caught on a hot mic moment
during a time out with during the Carolina

484
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:07.800
Duke game saying that, well,
at least Duke's cheerleaders are still the ugliest

485
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:10.119
in the A c C. And
he got a whole lot of trouble for

486
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:14.960
that. Yeah, you know,
And here's the thing too, do you

487
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.079
think he actually meant that or do
you think that that was him trash talking

488
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:23.639
an opponent? Right? You know
what I'm saying right exactly, Duke Carolina

489
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:27.079
game. It's a time out late
in the game. He's trying to you

490
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:30.159
know, lighten his guys up and
you know, get them, get them

491
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:36.559
hyped up like a late bush.
So I mean that's this is again,

492
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:38.920
this is this is human nature,
but it's also trying to be honest and

493
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:45.639
exploratory about why people say things.
And and apparently there's no room for that.

494
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:46.599
No, I wasn't aware. I
know who he is, I wasn't

495
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:51.679
aware of that though. That's funny. So now there's a reason. Look,

496
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:54.280
there's a reason, there's a there's
a joke that I've heard people use

497
00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.360
about whatever their college rivals. Su
What team do you root for, sir?

498
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:07.360
What's your college team? Carolina?
Okay, Carolina? So you so

499
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:09.360
the version of this joke would be
and it's not just a Duke joke.

500
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:13.440
I've heard it for Iowa, Minnesota, whatever. Uh. And it has

501
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:17.079
to do with the cheerleaders. Do
you know why Duke has artificial turf?

502
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:21.840
And I don't know that they do, but do you know why they have

503
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:29.679
artificial so the cheerleaders raise half time? Yes, Yes, that doesn't have

504
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.280
anything to do with individual that's people
making fun of their rivals. It's also

505
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:37.760
stupid. So all right, all
right, thanks mane, all right,

506
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:44.679
thanks sir. Ross. I can
say that Mark, and I'm comfortable.

507
00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:47.159
Mark sounds like he's probably a nine
nine and a half. Right, I

508
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:51.920
would argue that our audience is probably
the best looking, would you say so?

509
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:58.760
It yea easily, Yeah, I
mean it's just just uh, you

510
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:06.559
know, it's basically Zoolander. That's
this, that's this audience. I'll make

511
00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:12.400
that judgment right now. Everything's so
stupid, man, Everything is done,

512
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:16.079
Anthony, real quick. What's up? Well, just that he said that

513
00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:22.440
the women were attractive. Yes,
you're attracted to You're attracted to them,

514
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:27.599
so you know, that's what gets
gets you to know somebody. More about

515
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:30.079
somebody, You can't you're not attracted
to somebody's brain. You can't see I

516
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:34.159
mean, you can see how these
people are, but you see how smart

517
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:39.199
people are something. Yeah, or
look, some people will meet individuals and

518
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:45.679
and the amount of people that I
meet based on you know, events that

519
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:51.079
we do or some sort of social
setting and they're like, oh man,

520
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.000
where they go. Oh the voice
doesn't look you know, your voice doesn't

521
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:59.519
look like you look that's somebody whose
first iteration of getting to know me was

522
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:05.079
on the radio, right, so
it runs that, damnit is the point

523
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:07.400
that I'm making. All right,
Anthony, I got I gotta roll to

524
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:12.119
break. But thank you very much
for the call there all right, phone

527
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.960
good. You know what I like
about our audience, the willingness to drink

528
00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:31.599

much appreciated. All right, eight eight

534
00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:02.519
keeping you connected. This is ninety
four in the Triad and one six

535
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:08.199
one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, welcome back. It is

536
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:19.360
seven point thirty six Aco Day Radio
program. I'll tell you what's really offensive.

537
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:23.360
Some guy who's not married trying to
explain to the rest of us how

538
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:28.159
human attraction works, ma'am, did
you well, actually, I don't know

539
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:37.800
that. It's a many hold on
your email address, looks Yeah, that's

540
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:40.840
right. I'm gonna look it up. Uh did you ever consider for a

541
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:46.239
moment, I didn't want to rob
the world of the possibility of this.

542
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:57.079
I mean just saying like you don't
know the motivation. I'm just again,

543
00:53:57.519 --> 00:54:00.920
I'm just telling it like it is, so you don't have to listen.

544
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:07.079
Oh look at that, okay,
yeah, so I can see your email

545
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:17.840
address and then I can see your
Facebook. Now, man, Ross,

546
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:22.800
what do you think the relationship status
of this person who sent that email is?

547
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:28.440
Who's uh looks probably about my age. I don't know how old you

548
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:32.119
are. Ross, What do you
think somebody who wants to take this What

549
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:37.960
do you think the relationship status might
be of this individual on Facebook? Divorced?

550
00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:43.480
Yeah? Yeah, that's what it
is, which is fine. Look,

551
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:47.440
I don't know your life story.
Maybe you know, maybe it didn't

552
00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:51.039
work out for good reason. I'm
not going to sit here and judge you.

553
00:54:52.679 --> 00:55:00.639
But that's certain hypocrisy, you know, sending that email so your kids

554
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:07.159
look adorable, by the way,
So good for you, all right,

555
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:10.119
let me get over to a couple
other things. I could literally, I

556
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:14.480
could dwell on this topic all day
because it's just just one of those things

557
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:17.199
that eventually it adds up and it
just pushes my buttons and then I start

558
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:21.719
stripping it down and thinking about it
more, and we get there, but

559
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:27.239
we do have to pivot to a
couple other things. So what happens when

560
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:34.440
an unstoppable force hits in a movable
object? We get all sorts of moon

561
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:43.199
bat insanity news. So this yesterday, So the just stop oil idiots,

562
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:45.880
right? You know them as the
folks who like to glue themselves to stuff,

563
00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:52.800
throw soup on paintings, tangle with
res officers out in Nevada, and

564
00:55:52.280 --> 00:56:00.440
what is some of my favorite video
of the year, The climate change balls

565
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:06.880
decided one of the vehicles they wanted
to stop was going to be a bus

566
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:15.119
full of migrants, and let me
tell you that bus wasn't having any of

567
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:29.199
their insanity hold on. Right?
Do some of their voices sound like the

568
00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:34.000
fake voices you and I would do
if we're joking, by the way they

569
00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:37.679
they do. But I don't feel
that they're joking though I think they're No,

570
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.199
they're real bye. From what I'm
viewing anyway, I love the stuff

571
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:45.719
that that that they yelled to because
you know, it's this feigned. I

572
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:51.159
can't believe this is happening, even
though it's literally what they set out to

573
00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:55.880
the whole thing is so ridiculous.
It's such and I've been like this morning,

574
00:56:55.960 --> 00:56:59.320
I was super stressed. We have
like, you know, we're fixing

575
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:01.360
stuff from the house house Mark.
He's been sick all week. Yeah,

576
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:04.639
you guys are like doing the roof
things. Yeah, we have like the

577
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:07.119
insurance guy coming out later on.
It's like, I have a super stressed

578
00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:10.719
and not sleeping well and just seeing
this video loading the audio and the video

579
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:14.000
up on the blog at Casey in
the Radio, Oh my god, it

580
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:17.159
brought me so much joy. It
is just what I needed. It's not

581
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:21.679
as good, but it's not as
good as the res thing right in Nevada

582
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:24.639
with the reservation police, like yeah, we're you know, because I think

583
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:29.679
it might be better because when you
watch the video, if you're looking at

584
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:32.760
the bus, you can see the
one guy right in front with his arms

585
00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:37.960
folded, just kind of staring at
these lunatics, and it's just, oh

586
00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:43.039
my god, it's chef's kiss.
Oh all right, well again that's a

587
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:46.280
Casey on the radio dot com.
We'll tweet out a link. You should

588
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:50.280
watch its. Look at the joy
it brought into Ross's life. There's a

589
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:52.559
guy later on, like in the
audio cut where he's just like, we're

590
00:57:52.639 --> 00:57:57.599
in the road, you idiots,
And I'm like, who's the idiot here?

591
00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:00.639
That's why I wanted to stop and
point out the wasting. So the

592
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:02.599
real goodness? All right, so
here is here's the rest of that cut.

593
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:29.000
On the ground, you idiot while
they're wearing these vests that are made

594
00:58:29.039 --> 00:58:32.000
out out of petroleum, wearing sneakers
that are the rubber made out of fossil

595
00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:36.519
fuels. Oh, now, you
don't backpacks that are made out of petroleum

596
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:39.800
and fossil fuels. It's like,
there's such hypocrites. Yeah, but you

597
00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:45.280
can't just hold your bong, right, you gotta protect it from the elements.

598
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:50.800
Now, it's it's theater kid overload, right, you know what I'm

599
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:52.679
saying. It's and and and by
the way, that's not even a knock

600
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:57.079
on kids. My sister did.
She was she was really into theater.

601
00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.639
She's a very well adjusted, nice
person, a little bit of a moonbet.

602
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:07.280
But but but this is theater kid
on crack stuff man, and it's

603
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:12.480
so deeply satisfying and and I don't
know if it would be if they weren't

604
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:15.320
playing it up in that sense.
And look at that, I made a

605
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:19.239
snap judgment. I don't know any
I don't know anything about these idiots.

606
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:23.000
I only know what I see in
this video. And it's not even just

607
00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:29.079
appearance driven. It's me evaluating what
is going on here. And yeah,

608
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:32.199
again human nature swoops in and I'm
like, I don't feel like I'd want

609
00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:36.559
to hang out with any of these
kids. But there's also like going back

610
00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:38.719
to the story you were saying with
the on the on the reservation rate,

611
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:43.119
Yeah, the previous story, there's
like a hierarchy here that these people don't

612
00:59:43.119 --> 00:59:47.000
seem to understand. Right, there's
a salt is so interesting, Yes,

613
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:52.239
because it's a bus full of migrants, right, And to your point,

614
00:59:52.760 --> 01:00:00.119
the hierarchy is we're we're a bunch
of rich white kids from Laguna Beach,

615
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:05.440
right if we're gonna right, or
from New York City who've never been told

616
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:12.480
no and are likely clearly funded by
their parents who were just like you know

617
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:16.320
what, it's better in having them
live at home. And they decided that

618
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:22.800
they were gonna go manuymno, with
a bunch of Native Americans. That's is

619
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:25.039
that the hierarchy you're referring to.
By the way, yes, so buss

620
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:30.679
full of migrants. This is why
you got to pick your targets, right,

621
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:35.679
you want to go and screw with
the executives at Porsche. I'm still

622
01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:37.159
gonna laugh at you when they turn
the lights off and you have to go,

623
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:43.599
you know, you gotta go.
We wi like that's funny to me.

624
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:47.760
But in this case, busfull of
chock full of migrants, who's gonna

625
01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:52.800
win? And we get this deeply
satisfying video? All right? Eight eight

626
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:58.199
eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. Speaking of looks, I back

627
01:00:58.239 --> 01:01:00.239
in the day, I was a
fan of mac some magazine Ross. Did

628
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:04.800
you enjoy a good Maxim magazine back
in the day, Yeah, yeah,

629
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:13.159
that was great. Look it's it's
not Playboy, but let's face it,

630
01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:15.400
it was good stuff. It was
one of the few I subscribed to good,

631
01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:20.559
good cooking tips in there. I
think it was probably my motivation.

632
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:25.079
Well, that's jumped the shark man. Maxim magazine put out their you know,

633
01:01:25.199 --> 01:01:30.360
their hottest, hottest women, and
obviously this was a concept that is

634
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:37.840
not made for current current opinions.
Again, not majority opinions, but those

635
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:45.880
squeaky wheels who get the grease.
So I guess this is their way of

636
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:52.199
adapting. We'll let you know what
they're up to coming up right now.

637
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:57.159
Seven forty five Race Stagic, whose
team is on buy so stressed for a

638
01:01:57.199 --> 01:02:01.360
week for him? Yeah yeah,
yeah, is well. On the other

639
01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:06.480
end, it's not NFL. It
is stress free and I like it.

640
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:09.480
Why what's your what's the fact?
Look, Clemson is not as good as

641
01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:13.239
people thought they were going to be. You can admit that, right,

642
01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:15.880
they got they got some stuff to
work on. Okay, all right,

643
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:21.920
yeah, but they still want to
beat Miami, right ACC big match up

644
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:27.960
there, so yeah, look,
you know, I know that there's all

645
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.960
this discussion about what's going to become
of the ACC, who's going to be

646
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:34.079
in, who's going to be out, But there's some really good matchup.

647
01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:37.239
Duke Florida State. I'm really looking
forward to that. Yeah, I mean,

648
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:42.159
yeah, there's a there's a great
football this weekend. I'll be at

649
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:51.280
a concert tomorrow night. But uh, George straight if no, we were

650
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:54.760
done. I don't go into the
movie midday Sunday going to the movie.

651
01:02:55.000 --> 01:03:00.400
What. Yeah. Oh I love
Taylor Swift, huge fan. I met

652
01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:04.960
her a country radio seminar back when
she first came on the scene at the

653
01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:07.920
New Faces dinner. Somebody in the
building is probably familiar with that, if

654
01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:09.480
you're not yourself. Yeah, no, no, no, I actually and

655
01:03:09.920 --> 01:03:15.239
banally, I met Taylor Swift right
when she first broke onto the scene because

656
01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:17.159
she came in, she was in
the studio, she was going to different

657
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:21.880
studios doing interviews, sure, and
I had no at that point, I

658
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:25.159
didn't know who she was. So
yeah, my daughters hate us because me

659
01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:29.400
and my wife had an opportunity to
meet her and actually have the new Face

660
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:34.000
to the you know, the tagging
carry around at the seminars, and it's

661
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:37.480
personally autographed to my daughter, Taylor
Swift. So yeah, it's pretty cool.

662
01:03:37.760 --> 01:03:43.679
Yeah, Simon, every now and
then, this job has some benefits.

663
01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:45.719
Yeah that was then there's no benefits. Tomorrow night, I ain't meeting

664
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:50.800
nobody. I think somebody'd come through
for a straint concert. Man, that's

665
01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:52.679
all. That's good stuff. I've
like my fourth time. I've never seen

666
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:58.400
Carrie Underwood, little big town,
I think, and Willian friends this and

667
01:03:58.599 --> 01:04:01.719
Friend's part makes me nervous, Spud. I think it'll be okay. But

668
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:05.039
as you mentioned, a lot of
great football this weekend. You got Penn

669
01:04:05.079 --> 01:04:11.400
State, Ohio State, Alabama,
Tennessee. That's always a big one too.

670
01:04:11.559 --> 01:04:14.199
And as you said in the ACC, a couple of big matches,

671
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:18.039
I mean, Pittwake Forest isn't really
huge. Butt attention. I need to

672
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:26.440
pay attention to anything other than what's
gonna happen Monday night, because I feel

673
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:30.519
like riding confidently, huh. I
feel like San Francisco may feel like they

674
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:34.559
need to make an example of somebody
and unfall. I hope that doesn't happen

675
01:04:34.599 --> 01:04:40.239
to you. Anyway, ball games
tonight, we should be better as you

676
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:44.519
go further west, so into the
mountains as we're looking at some rain showers

677
01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:47.880
already starting to sneak into the triad
this morning, and this darn radar would

678
01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:51.400
work here. Somebody feed the hamster. Yeah, okay, so I just

679
01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:55.119
hit it on the side, Yeah, just kick it or something, right,

680
01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:58.920
Wilkes County, Alexander County. There's
more back behind that. So west

681
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:02.239
east here this morning, starting to
see the showers command probably late morning through

682
01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:05.679
the triangle. A few thunderstorms are
also possible. Low seventies will start to

683
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:11.079
pick up a gusty southwest breeze.
It's still a threat for some showers thunder

684
01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:14.119
showers tonight, but ending west to
east. So Friday night football, I

685
01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:17.639
think it's nothing but leftovers, but
fairly breezy, and of course it's sudden

686
01:05:17.679 --> 01:05:23.079
return for the weekend, so if
it is local football teams or outdoor plans,

687
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:26.280
mazes, pumpkin patches. Still that
time of year, right, A

688
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:30.039
little breezy to windy at times and
upper sixties to low seventies with lows in

689
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:31.880
the upper forties to low fifties at
night. And you know, we could

690
01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:34.880
go most of next week with no
rain and sunshine and a warming trend.

691
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:39.239
Next week looks like it's going to
beautiful. So some great weather. We

692
01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:42.000
get through this stuff today in early
tonight and we should be done with it.

693
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:45.199
I got a beef with those corn
mazes, though we got a lot

694
01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:48.000
of them around North Litta Way.
I don't go no, no, no

695
01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:51.519
no, I'll explain it to the
audience coming up here, just because I

696
01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:55.679
looked at the clock. But we'll
chat with you one more time. Appreciate

697
01:05:55.679 --> 01:05:58.480
it. So all right, there
you go, Race Stagic. Yeah,

698
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:01.760
yeah, yeah, I feel like
I feel like we we we woosked out

699
01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:13.239
on those two. I'll explain what
I mean coming up, hang on the

700
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:16.480
show. After the show, he's
on the iHeart Radio app. Search Casey

701
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:24.039
O Day for the podcast on the
iHeart Radio apps. All right, well,

702
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:28.360
I I guess I misread your earlier
emails, Roz. This dude's been

703
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:30.920
sending me email. I thought he
was joking. This guy really thinks he

704
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:33.519
saw a wolf and wake for Yeah, you see what you have started.

705
01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:36.840
Some of us have been saying this
for years, which is why you know,

706
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:43.199
somebody has to do something. Vote
Hayes for Shure. You're getting people

707
01:06:43.239 --> 01:06:45.599
are hallucinating, because that's what motivated
me to run, because it was that

708
01:06:45.679 --> 01:06:47.400
one day I got up for work, it was like three thirty in the

709
01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:50.679
morning. I opened my door there
uh huh, and just surrounded by a

710
01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:59.320
pack of rabid wolves. This guy
theorizes it's a red wolf. I don't

711
01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.000
even get me started on the red
wolf thing. But but those would be

712
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:06.519
the wolves down you know, like
when you're headed towards Mannio and all that

713
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:12.960
going through the swamp there. I
don't know, man, but I thought

714
01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:16.599
he was joking, but he's serious. So you but in a way,

715
01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:21.000
you want there to be wolves no
matter you know how they might be hunting

716
01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:25.519
people just so you look right.
Although there ever was an actual wolf,

717
01:07:25.639 --> 01:07:28.440
I would I would start a rumor. You planted it so well at that

718
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:30.760
point, I mean, my psychic
ability would be proven to be off the

719
01:07:30.840 --> 01:07:33.320
chart. Just put me in the
catacombs of the Pentagon and some sort of

720
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:36.719
government programming just got me right,
yes, and you would, uh,

721
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:41.320
what the goats? You would do
the thing with sat right, Yeah,

722
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:47.400
okay. Maxim magazine putting out their
Hottest hundred Women list with a twist at

723
01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:58.159
the number ninety two spot Daniel Laidley. Daniel Laidley is didn't start as Danielle

724
01:07:58.480 --> 01:08:04.639
started as Daniel to catch my drift, you know. Maximum obviously putting a

725
01:08:04.719 --> 01:08:10.400
list together of something that is so
esthetically based has taken grief. So I

726
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:15.880
don't know if this is their way
of coping. But nope, how about

727
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:23.920
nope? And I love it because
obviously they didn't do any other research because

728
01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:29.359
lately's got a little bit of a
history and actually has like convictions for stalking.

729
01:08:30.319 --> 01:08:35.720
Oh and actually didn't go by Daniel, initially went by Dean at the

730
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:46.079
time of the stalking arrests. Let's
see here. Yeah, so number ninety

731
01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:51.159
two of the Hottest Women in the
World includes what used to be a dude

732
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:59.239
or I guess arguably genetically would still
be a dude, but was thrown on

733
01:08:59.279 --> 01:09:01.199
the list. I also like how
they're like, oh, but you could

734
01:09:01.239 --> 01:09:03.800
only find that, and then you
put them at ninety two. Then you're

735
01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:12.119
just pandering, which is apparently the
opinion of people who want want the list

736
01:09:12.239 --> 01:09:18.439
to have more. I guess the
bud Light what do you want? You

737
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:25.680
want bud Light spokesperson their top ten
or something. I like, I don't

738
01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:32.560
know what you're asking for. And
as somebody who actually pays attention to this

739
01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:35.640
stuff. So if you do,
look, if you if you travel,

740
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:41.439
if you travel internationally, one of
the things that you can do before you

741
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:48.720
go somewhere is they keep they keep
recommendations on the US State Department website and

742
01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:53.239
it will tell you like and you
can bet your butt. Before I went

743
01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:57.600
to Columbia and Equidor and all that, I did some reading and they'll tell

744
01:09:57.640 --> 01:10:02.600
you like places to avoid certain issues
that are out there, but it's it's

745
01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:09.439
generally, it's not like always a
whole country. You gotta like, there's

746
01:10:09.479 --> 01:10:11.840
really got to be a lot going
on where they're like, yeah, if

747
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:15.960
you're an American, you shouldn't travel
there. But I've never seen this.

748
01:10:15.159 --> 01:10:24.640
The US State Department has issued a
world wide caution travel advisory, warning American

749
01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:30.199
citizens to be aware in as they
travel anywhere outside the US, as they

750
01:10:30.279 --> 01:10:36.600
say that the possibility of terrorist attacks
and other dangerous situations has increased. So

751
01:10:38.319 --> 01:10:41.119
Ross, going back to your psychic
ability, are you going to claim to

752
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:45.319
have called this too? Ross won't
go anywhere except EPCOT. I wasn't listening.

753
01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:46.840
I'm just gonna say, yeah,
they'll go in my gut, all

754
01:10:46.920 --> 01:10:56.039
right. US officials issue the rare
alert previously once in August of twenty twenty

755
01:10:56.079 --> 01:11:03.039
two, following the killing of al
Qaeda leader Zuwari and oh and not just

756
01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:08.439
one, and then when we greased
that dude with dogs. So yeah,

757
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:14.880
yeah, So if you're thinking of
leaving the the US of A, just

758
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:17.760
know that. The State Department says
it may not be a good idea,

759
01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:21.960
But I thought that was pretty crazy. All right, we got lots to

760
01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:27.840
get into Pete Calendar. Yeah,
radio buddy, he joins us next Friday

761
01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:56.840
round up coming up. All right, good morning every press buddy, and

762
01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:06.920
happy Friday, eight oh seven kc
O day for radio program. The shallowest

763
01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:13.199
show of all the shallow shows.
Sorry, somebody called us very shallow.

764
01:12:15.760 --> 01:12:19.920
That's fine, badge of honor.
We'll wear it. And to help us

765
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:25.640
really really ratchet it down, we
welcome in our radio buddy to the South

766
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:30.000
Pete Calendar, mid Day's WBT catch
it on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning,

767
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:32.520
sir, how you doing? Hey, good morning? How are you

768
01:12:33.079 --> 01:12:38.920
are you? Are you fully engrossed
in the UNC wrestling controversy? Are you

769
01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:44.840
familiar? Do you know what's up? No? Oh? No? Oh

770
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:51.479
wow? Okay. So UNC hired
a new wrestling coach, announced about a

771
01:12:51.600 --> 01:12:58.319
month and a half ago. Former
UNC wrestler. He holds records both at

772
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:03.039
UNC, won a national cha championships, that own some acc records. Probably

773
01:13:03.079 --> 01:13:05.920
a good guy to bring in his
coach, right, you would think,

774
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:12.920
I don't know, have we checked
his social media or whole Well, we

775
01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:17.640
don't have to because he went on
a podcast Pete. Oh yes, yes.

776
01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:23.800
He went on a podcast and was
talking about why, you know,

777
01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:27.800
why would students want to come to
UNC to be part of the wrestling program.

778
01:13:28.239 --> 01:13:30.920
Which way, look, when you
have a coach, recruiting is a

779
01:13:30.039 --> 01:13:36.359
topic that yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And so I wanting to

780
01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:43.319
provide perspective from, you know,
the eyes of somebody who has been through

781
01:13:43.399 --> 01:13:47.680
it. Right, a good wrestler
in high school, recruited by top level

782
01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:54.520
universities, did the campus visits,
and you know what that perspective may look

783
01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:59.880
like. He put himself in the
shoes of potential student athletes, and he

784
01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:08.159
he said something so heinous and so
horrible that his name is Rob Cole,

785
01:14:08.840 --> 01:14:15.079
that the chair of the Department of
Women's and Gender Studies felt that she needed

786
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:18.079
to weigh in on this. I'm
going to play it for you. You've

787
01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:24.199
been warrened, Pete. It's very
offensive. But you know, part of

788
01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:27.439
our job is to evaluate this stuff. So here we go. That's so

789
01:14:27.520 --> 01:14:30.399
worried about Chapel Hill. First of
all, it's sixty percent women, for

790
01:14:30.479 --> 01:14:34.800
God's sakes, and in ninety five
percent of are are attractive, now,

791
01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:40.840
you know, and it's just a
really neat little campus for young eighteen to

792
01:14:40.960 --> 01:14:44.079
twenty two year old men. You
know, I mean, good lord,

793
01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:45.199
why do you know? What'd you? I want to go there? And

794
01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:50.479
it was so funny when and they
had this sorority. They had the sority

795
01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:53.720
on the weekend while I was there
last weekend, and I look at it,

796
01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:57.359
it's like ninety five percent girls are
like, why do we not have

797
01:14:57.439 --> 01:15:03.079
a recruiting again this week? Yes, that's right. He pointed out that

798
01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:11.359
some of the female some of the
co eds might be attractive and that that

799
01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:18.680
may be appealing to you know,
nineteen year old hormone riddled young men,

800
01:15:19.319 --> 01:15:25.119
and and he's already apologized. So
is that well all right? Well now

801
01:15:25.560 --> 01:15:28.680
it's like very difficult for me to, you know, try to defend the

802
01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:32.159
guy right first off, because he's
a he's a wrestler, so he's perfectly

803
01:15:32.199 --> 01:15:36.000
capable of defending himself better than I
could defend him. But but you never,

804
01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:41.560
never, never apologize for this stuff. He didn't say anything wrong.

805
01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:47.800
So about what am I to believe
that that dating and lusting and wanting to

806
01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:51.800
hook up? I mean, like
that's part of the that's or sorry that

807
01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:56.560
that's not part of college? Is
that? Is that what I'm to believe

808
01:15:56.640 --> 01:16:00.359
that there's what no, and and
thank you for you, because I've irritated

809
01:16:00.439 --> 01:16:06.479
some people and I'm I'm I'm pointing
out that I refuse to not I refuse

810
01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:13.760
to further divorce myself from reality.
Because Ariana Vigil is chair of the Department

811
01:16:13.800 --> 01:16:17.560
of Women's and Gender Studies. And
I did look up her profile because I

812
01:16:17.640 --> 01:16:23.199
am a shallow and you know,
I'm not gonna put words in your mouth,

813
01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:28.520
but I wonder if you know,
maybe college wasn't as fun as some

814
01:16:28.600 --> 01:16:32.760
of these sorority girls are having.
But she also is a LATINIX studies person,

815
01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:38.880
so she has the going with Latins, yea with Latins or whatever.

816
01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:44.560
It is, okay, But the
way that it is because r E l

817
01:16:44.680 --> 01:16:49.600
I know you're shocked is who did
the story? She is? She?

818
01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:55.319
She is not how even most of
the kids on that campus think. And

819
01:16:56.079 --> 01:17:00.399
and I can present this from empirical
evidence because you've seen the stats were like

820
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:05.279
if you go on like the Tenders
or the other dating apps, like only

821
01:17:05.359 --> 01:17:13.439
ten percent of the men really get
the response because there is that physical thing

822
01:17:13.760 --> 01:17:16.520
and the same thing. I know
you're shocked, And Pete, would you

823
01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:23.199
say that the things that you as
an eighteen year old young man versus Pete

824
01:17:23.239 --> 01:17:28.760
calendar of today, would you say
that what you may have prioritized in somebody

825
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:33.119
that you wanted to spend time with
has evolved, right versus eighteen year old

826
01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:40.800
Pete. Absolutely, there's absolutely.
And the way that it's presented is that

827
01:17:41.800 --> 01:17:47.039
Ariana Vigil is the voice of reason
here and and she's not. But we

828
01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:54.600
are in we're in this situation where
people will hold their tongue because everyone else

829
01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:59.840
will pretend that she has the right
thought here, and she doesn't. She's

830
01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:04.279
wrong, She's wrong. And that's
how even most of the kids these days

831
01:18:04.640 --> 01:18:08.840
we look at college campuses and we
see the ones, you know, holding

832
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:12.800
their death to Israel rally, but
the majority of college kids are just there

833
01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:17.479
to be college kids. Man,
So that it's her, what's what's what

834
01:18:18.079 --> 01:18:24.359
was the criticism that like, what's
your argument here? Is saying I'm gonna

835
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:28.159
read it. I read it to
you, okay, m comment this is

836
01:18:28.279 --> 01:18:33.359
quote. Comments such as that made
on the podcast support unfortunately, support misogyny

837
01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:41.920
and hetero sexism, reducing reducing female
students to their physical beauty, and implying

838
01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:46.039
that women's value is measured by their
attractiveness to men. And my argument was,

839
01:18:46.279 --> 01:18:51.199
you can't reduce it because it's it's
the only data point. Do you

840
01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:55.680
know what I'm saying. It's not
like they have a full they know a

841
01:18:56.079 --> 01:19:00.079
Jacqueline, right co Ed Jacqueline who
who's hot but all also has a sense

842
01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:05.319
of humor is a double major.
You don't know all of that, so

843
01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:10.319
you can't reduce it from that.
The only thing that you know when you're

844
01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:14.840
a kid coming for a campus visit, driving by a sorority house where women

845
01:19:14.920 --> 01:19:18.079
are sunning on the lawn is what
you see out the car window. But

846
01:19:18.199 --> 01:19:23.880
that's your argument, So you know, it's almost like the well because what

847
01:19:23.960 --> 01:19:27.560
he's talking about is recruiting, and
why didn't we bring these guys to the

848
01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:30.199
campus when you see all of the
women all around? And look, I

849
01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:34.399
went to Winter University and at the
time you Winter used to be an all

850
01:19:34.600 --> 01:19:43.560
female teacher college where women came through
and became teachers. And they changed that

851
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:45.520
when co ed sometime, I want
to say, like the early eighties or

852
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:48.560
something. And by the time I
showed up, there were a lot of

853
01:19:48.640 --> 01:19:55.840
guys there, but it was still
like an eight to one ratio of females

854
01:19:55.920 --> 01:20:03.520
to males and like identifying that that
obvious truth is not misogynistic. It's saying

855
01:20:03.640 --> 01:20:08.079
that, hey, guys, if
you're looking for your forever mate, you

856
01:20:08.199 --> 01:20:11.600
might have a better shot here.
Then if you, you know, go

857
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:15.319
to some other college in the middle
of Alaska focusing on some hard sciences or

858
01:20:15.399 --> 01:20:19.359
something and it's like ninety nine percent
dudes. Or go to Oberlin right or

859
01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:25.880
go to Oberlin right now? Yeah, that crazy university. Yeah, yeah,

860
01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:29.399
you see, Santa Barbara. That
was like, that was the the

861
01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:35.960
uh male to female ratio and its
inclusion on playboys party schools. That is

862
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:40.520
something that believe it or not,
eighteen year old me paid attention to.

863
01:20:41.560 --> 01:20:45.680
Well, this is the thing is
it's You're right, it's not, but

864
01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:50.079
it is part of a larger context. But if you are simply, as

865
01:20:50.119 --> 01:20:56.359
you said, driving through, then
what other data points do you do you

866
01:20:56.520 --> 01:20:59.479
collect because you cannot you're not going
to Yes, you go and then you

867
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:03.279
meet this students. You have these
opportunities to go and meet the other co

868
01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:08.319
eds, the students that are there, and maybe find somebody that that you

869
01:21:08.359 --> 01:21:11.720
would want to hang out with and
have a relationship with. I keep thinking

870
01:21:11.760 --> 01:21:15.000
of this image. You ever,
if you've ever bought a house and you

871
01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:19.720
walk, you're walking through and like
it's almost it's almost in every house they

872
01:21:19.800 --> 01:21:24.079
stick a rocking chair with an open
book on it and they put it next

873
01:21:24.119 --> 01:21:27.439
to a window, right, And
the idea is that you're selling this.

874
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:30.479
You're selling an idea. Oh,
and what everybody always says it, Oh,

875
01:21:30.520 --> 01:21:33.760
I could sit here and read,
No, you're not. You're not

876
01:21:33.880 --> 01:21:38.600
gonna sit there and read that's they're
selling you on that. That's the pitch.

877
01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:40.920
You know, it's like, oh, look at this, how relaxing

878
01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:44.439
it is. It's like the cooking
of the apple pie in the oven and

879
01:21:44.560 --> 01:21:48.399
the open house. You know,
it's supposed to conjure up these ideas and

880
01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:53.239
that helps to sell you on buying
the house. And it's the same thing

881
01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:56.399
here. You're trying to sell these
kids on coming to the school. But

882
01:21:56.520 --> 01:22:00.279
I also, I'm unclear, So
would would it have been better if the

883
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:05.439
wrestler coach guys if he had said
that they were not attractive? Would that

884
01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:10.479
have been the better thing? By
by even having an opinion on that,

885
01:22:11.199 --> 01:22:17.079
he crossed into hetero sex sexism,
right, which I guess is the thing

886
01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:19.720
now. I guess which. First
off, I mean, I think,

887
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:25.479
like, honestly, I just I
think that that defies the law of averages,

888
01:22:26.039 --> 01:22:29.439
the ninety five percent number that he
threw out there. So if anything,

889
01:22:29.479 --> 01:22:31.159
he's like, he's over selling it. You're gonna tell me ninety five

890
01:22:31.239 --> 01:22:36.039
percent are quote attractive, like to
whom because there's a lot of different things

891
01:22:36.079 --> 01:22:41.439
that people find attractive that others do
not. Yeah right, So you ever

892
01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:45.640
met somebody too by the way that
you thought was you know, approaching nine

893
01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:46.840
or ten, but then when you
met him, you're like, wow,

894
01:22:47.000 --> 01:22:50.920
that is a horrible person. Yes, right, yeah, right, right,

895
01:22:51.039 --> 01:22:57.920
that's yeah right, And that's that's
why you're not supposed to simply look

896
01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:00.920
at somebody and say, oh,
like know, I'm in love with this

897
01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:04.279
person. No, what matters inside, what's inside matters, And that's what

898
01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:09.000
I thought was the whole point of
getting to know somebody. But you cannot

899
01:23:09.119 --> 01:23:14.760
deny that there that there are physical
attributes that have been you know, handed

900
01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:17.439
down through generations, but also culturally, like you know, long time ago,

901
01:23:17.479 --> 01:23:20.159
not a long time ago, but
a couple hundred years ago. If

902
01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:26.119
you were pale, then that was
attractive because it meant that you were not

903
01:23:26.239 --> 01:23:29.640
working outside in the fields and your
you know, Lily White's skin had not

904
01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:32.479
burned, and now that has,
that has flipped. And you know,

905
01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:38.600
all growing up having a tan,
that indicated that you were you know,

906
01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:42.800
you had enough money. Basically you
were privileged enough to be able to lay

907
01:23:42.840 --> 01:23:45.199
out and get a tan, and
that became, uh, the standard of

908
01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:49.439
beauty. Right, These things change
over time, and uh, you know,

909
01:23:49.560 --> 01:23:54.840
somebody pointing out that this is what
the culture holds up as attractive.

910
01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:58.079
I don't find it offensive. I
don't find and I darn sure don't find

911
01:23:58.119 --> 01:24:00.479
it misogynistic. It's not at all
of any think it's the opposite. It's

912
01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:05.000
for me, it's a refuse.
I just refuse to participate anymore because she

913
01:24:05.239 --> 01:24:09.159
is not the majority opinion. But
we are in a cult. We are

914
01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:15.319
in a culture now where people who
even people who who disagree with her right

915
01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:19.880
and think it's dumb, will participate
in the punishing of people for holding the

916
01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:25.479
very same opinion they do but don't
dare verbalize. And it's not just in

917
01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:30.479
this setting, it's it is it
is the thing that drives cancel culture.

918
01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:36.840
Right. He apologizes. He apologizes
immediately, saying he's embarrassed and feels remorseful.

919
01:24:38.720 --> 01:24:41.000
Right, and that's the but that's
the whole point. It is to

920
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:45.000
create chaos and to make people unsure. It's this is a form, it's

921
01:24:45.079 --> 01:24:49.439
gas lighting to an extent, and
that it forces everybody to question their their

922
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:53.560
gut, their initial thoughts on things
and think, okay, well maybe I

923
01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:56.680
am wrong. That's the point,
right, This is the this is the

924
01:24:56.720 --> 01:25:00.279
point of the critical studies is to
tear down these inst institutions, to basically

925
01:25:00.520 --> 01:25:04.960
go after the concept of what is
real in and of itself. And when

926
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:09.600
you can tear that down, now
you've got a malleable public that's like,

927
01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:12.399
I'm not sure did he say,
Well what he said was, I don't

928
01:25:12.439 --> 01:25:14.760
know, maybe it is misogynistic.
Oh, I don't want to be a

929
01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:16.960
misogynist, and so I'm going to
fall in line with that. But meanwhile,

930
01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:20.399
you're tearing apart the very concepts of
reality. And when you do that,

931
01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:27.960
now that public becomes way more easily
led to other ideas that might not

932
01:25:28.199 --> 01:25:31.439
be you know, let's just say, you know, less than pressing as

933
01:25:31.680 --> 01:25:36.039
whether or not. Ninety five percent
of the of the females on campus at

934
01:25:36.159 --> 01:25:42.920
UNC Chapel Hill are attractive quote unquote
in whatever subjective means that or definition that

935
01:25:43.079 --> 01:25:45.039
is, by the way, And
then I have women listeners emailing going,

936
01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:47.199
you know what if I was one
of those co eds, I'd be like,

937
01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:53.239
thank you right right? Right?
Would you hook process? Yes?

938
01:25:53.640 --> 01:25:56.199
Right? Yeah, Oh, there's
a whole bunch of ugly people on this

939
01:25:56.319 --> 01:25:59.359
campus. You should come here,
like that's the pitch? Why would you

940
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:01.439
make that pitch? And then of
course, you know all of the people

941
01:26:02.279 --> 01:26:06.119
from the TV station, ral,
from the anchors who threw to the reporter

942
01:26:06.239 --> 01:26:12.239
who's doing the story, have all
seen a half hour in wardrobe, right,

943
01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:17.640
so that they are physically what it's
not radio, right, There's a

944
01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:23.119
reason we do radio. You know. These are people that are obsessed with

945
01:26:23.279 --> 01:26:27.680
the way they look and obsessed with
optics and visuals, and they get they

946
01:26:27.760 --> 01:26:31.640
look. I'm not going to say
anything about their individual expertise and journalisming.

947
01:26:32.079 --> 01:26:35.560
I am going to say though,
that looks matter, Okay, looks matter,

948
01:26:35.640 --> 01:26:42.239
And every woman working in television news
knows that, particularly the ones that

949
01:26:42.319 --> 01:26:45.760
have been around for a long time
and start seeing their opportunities dry up,

950
01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:50.399
because that's that industry. It's one
of the of the dirty secrets about TV

951
01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:56.520
news is that as people get older, they become less intelligenic and they don't

952
01:26:56.520 --> 01:27:00.520
want to be on The consultants and
the managers and the people that run everything,

953
01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:02.880
they don't want them on the air
for much longer because they're not as

954
01:27:02.920 --> 01:27:08.439
attractive as the young, spunky,
perky new girl that's going to come in

955
01:27:08.960 --> 01:27:13.199
and read the news to them,
which somebody else wrote, yes, yeah,

956
01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:18.800
And to not at any point have
that self realization while doing this story,

957
01:27:18.960 --> 01:27:23.039
like they had to think it at
some point, but again, you

958
01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:29.960
don't verbalize it. And I'm not
going to participate where Ariana Vigil's opinion is

959
01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:32.359
seen as the majority opinion. I
just want people to be honest, and

960
01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:35.239
if we were, I think a
lot of this would get rejected. All

961
01:27:35.319 --> 01:27:38.119
right, we just got a bunch
of time on that, so let me

962
01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:43.680
real quickly. The redistricting maps,
the EMS and I everything's crazy. The

963
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:47.520
Republicans are they got control of the
Supreme Courts, so now they're going to

964
01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:55.760
they're going to lock themselves in for
one hundred years of ruling. The reactions

965
01:27:55.840 --> 01:27:59.680
yesterday I got about a minute and
a half. I'm assuming lawsuit city that's

966
01:27:59.720 --> 01:28:02.439
what's coming oh yeah, absolutely,
so, Like that's the nice thing about

967
01:28:02.479 --> 01:28:06.399
living in North Carolina is that while
all of the rest of the country has

968
01:28:06.560 --> 01:28:13.039
congressional districts gerrymandered or drawn for them
for a decade, North Carolina we get

969
01:28:13.079 --> 01:28:16.560
to redo hours about every two years
thanks to the lawsuits. And you know,

970
01:28:16.640 --> 01:28:20.399
the irony there is that you know, you keep doing it and keep

971
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:25.479
doing it, and you don't allow
for the natural population shifts to minimize the

972
01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:30.520
effects of you know, abusive jerrymandering, because they do eventually like the sharpness

973
01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:35.399
of the gerrymanders, whether the districts, they soften over time because population moves

974
01:28:35.880 --> 01:28:40.319
well, and you know what,
do you want to stick around for an

975
01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:43.800
extra segment or you got stuff?
Yeah? Sure, okay, all right,

976
01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:45.279
well we're going to hit a break
and then we'll do It's gonna be

977
01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:48.479
a long break. But because I
want to get it, I think people

978
01:28:48.600 --> 01:28:57.359
fail to understand what what the intent
of drawing the districts as stated and some

979
01:28:57.520 --> 01:29:00.720
of the rules are, and it
gets lost in all of these allegations.

980
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:05.600
So a little more on that coming
up, because it's frankly, I think

981
01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:11.640
it's worthwhile to remind folks and also
more shallow stuff. I'm sure coming up

982
01:29:11.680 --> 01:29:23.600
with our guests, Pete Calendar.
Hang on, this is one O six

983
01:29:23.680 --> 01:29:28.239
one FM Talk in the Triangle and
News Talk ninety four or five w PTI

984
01:29:28.520 --> 01:29:32.039
and the Triad. All right,
good morning, welcome back, eight thirty

985
01:29:32.359 --> 01:29:40.560
six. We're continuing to get a
bonus time our conversation, our Friday conversation

986
01:29:40.680 --> 01:29:44.640
with Pete Calendar. There we go, come on phone screeners, a weird

987
01:29:44.880 --> 01:29:47.439
Oh all right, now my phone
clear? Well, no, I think

988
01:29:47.520 --> 01:29:50.880
my you know what, I think
my phone might have been attacked by the

989
01:29:51.000 --> 01:29:56.880
Israeli Air Force. So yeah,
I have nothing up, but yeah,

990
01:29:57.039 --> 01:30:00.359
right, no, that does happen. I'm os. If i'm off tells

991
01:30:00.399 --> 01:30:03.479
you it's so, then you just
run with that fog of war Pete.

992
01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:08.000
So yeah, am I to know. We'll watch on that here in just

993
01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:12.920
a moment. Let me get back
to the redistricting things. So yeah,

994
01:30:13.319 --> 01:30:17.000
look, in the world of redistricting, North Carolina has seen a significant amount

995
01:30:17.000 --> 01:30:23.399
of lawsuits. Obviously, we went
through the Special Master, which I see

996
01:30:23.479 --> 01:30:28.319
reporting where they mentioned that, but
they also failed to mention that in that

997
01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:32.720
instance they found that the Special Master
may not have been as impartial. Would

998
01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:35.520
that be a fair way to say
it, as I think that's a very

999
01:30:35.600 --> 01:30:40.560
fair way to say it at least. Yeah, And we got a North

1000
01:30:40.640 --> 01:30:46.119
Carolina Supreme Court ruling on that issue
that was befuddling, would be a polite

1001
01:30:46.199 --> 01:30:50.680
way to describe it, where like
new law was just made up wholesale,

1002
01:30:51.640 --> 01:30:57.960
that is the history of this.
Are Republicans going to redistrict in a way

1003
01:30:58.039 --> 01:31:03.840
that they think is politically advent Yes, yes, absolutely, and you know

1004
01:31:03.920 --> 01:31:10.479
why because we don't have case law
unless you make it up. That speaks

1005
01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:16.039
to where you are not able to
do that. And so as long as

1006
01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:19.960
that is a thing that continues to
play out in both directions, I would

1007
01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:26.319
point you to Illinois, State of
New York and others. That's the reality.

1008
01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:30.479
And again we're all about reality here. So my question is now the

1009
01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:34.720
Supreme Court in North Carolina has flipped
the US Supreme Court is what it is,

1010
01:31:34.800 --> 01:31:38.520
and they pretty much indicated they don't
want to they don't want to wait

1011
01:31:38.600 --> 01:31:45.359
in on this issue. What what
where do you think we end up in?

1012
01:31:45.760 --> 01:31:47.479
Uh? Because I feel like it's
just going to look like the map

1013
01:31:47.560 --> 01:31:53.479
that they offered, which was much
more concise when compared to maps from twenty

1014
01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:56.680
years ago. I feel like all
of this is going to put us right

1015
01:31:56.720 --> 01:32:00.960
back where we would have been.
Right. So, what I've been told

1016
01:32:00.800 --> 01:32:10.000
is that the Democrats' history over a
century's worth of gerrymandering to keep themselves in

1017
01:32:10.159 --> 01:32:15.880
power, that that is irrelevant.
None of those old maps matter. Roy

1018
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:20.640
Cooper being the head of the redistricting
stuff and drawing maps that were jerrymandered out

1019
01:32:20.720 --> 01:32:25.319
the law zoo, none of that
is applicable now. And every now and

1020
01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:28.680
again you'll get one or two that
Democrats will say, well, you know

1021
01:32:28.880 --> 01:32:30.359
that was wrong, that was wrong
when they did it. But I wasn't

1022
01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:33.199
here at the time, and I
totally would have been, you know,

1023
01:32:33.399 --> 01:32:40.439
in favor of creating a better system. Here's the problem is that redistricting is

1024
01:32:40.720 --> 01:32:47.680
inherently a political process. Inherently so, and the State of North Carolina has

1025
01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:53.199
for the legislative races, it has
a set of rules. It's right,

1026
01:32:53.319 --> 01:32:56.039
it's in the constitution. Right.
You look at the rules, like number

1027
01:32:56.079 --> 01:33:00.319
one, the big one is the
whole county provision. Right, You're not

1028
01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:03.760
supposed to break up a county and
split it all up and send different parts

1029
01:33:03.800 --> 01:33:09.319
to different districts. So you can
give yourself power. So once you start

1030
01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:14.000
applying the rules that already exist and
the case law, because this is where

1031
01:33:14.000 --> 01:33:17.840
you get into the county groupings or
as the Democrats call it, clusters,

1032
01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:21.000
and I don't know why they have
a different name. I think it's just

1033
01:33:21.079 --> 01:33:25.520
sort of like a backhanded kind of
insult kind of deal, like, oh,

1034
01:33:25.600 --> 01:33:30.000
it's a cluster, you know,
but yeah, yeah, population right,

1035
01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:31.840
and so that their groupings. And
so once you start following these rules,

1036
01:33:32.159 --> 01:33:35.840
you really don't have a lot to
play with. Just accept along the

1037
01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:41.039
margins and you end up where,
like in Meckelberg County, for example,

1038
01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:44.800
you've got such a large population you
have to split it up because all of

1039
01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:49.840
the districts have to be of an
equal or roughly population size. So once

1040
01:33:49.880 --> 01:33:54.319
you start doing this, I mean, yes, you're going to end up

1041
01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:58.239
with You're going to end up with
some areas that kind of look a little

1042
01:33:58.279 --> 01:34:01.359
weird, but there are but there
are usually reasons for it. And yes,

1043
01:34:01.439 --> 01:34:04.600
they're going to draw themselves. The
levers in power is going to draw

1044
01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:12.079
themselves maps that are more advantageous to
them, much like the Special Masters gave

1045
01:34:12.239 --> 01:34:16.680
Jeff Jackson a seat down in meckliberg
county, right, they gifted Democrats a

1046
01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:21.279
couple of seats so it wouldn't be
the bloodbath that everybody was expecting in twenty

1047
01:34:21.359 --> 01:34:25.000
twenty two. That was the practical
result, and what you ended up with

1048
01:34:25.159 --> 01:34:28.720
was a map that had a seven
to seven split. And when Democrats defend

1049
01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:32.800
this, they say it's a proportional
map. That's their argument, But that's

1050
01:34:32.840 --> 01:34:38.159
not law. There isn't any law
that says we have to have proportional maps.

1051
01:34:38.920 --> 01:34:42.359
And what's more, I find it
kind of comical that everybody points out

1052
01:34:42.359 --> 01:34:45.680
all the Supreme Court changed hands,
Well, how did that happen? Those

1053
01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:50.159
were state wide races and Republicans swept
all of them. So what's the proportion

1054
01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:55.720
for that? When they win every
single state wide race like that and they've

1055
01:34:55.760 --> 01:35:00.720
taken over the judiciary because statewide people
want Republicans there, So what's the proportionality

1056
01:35:00.920 --> 01:35:04.720
there. We don't have a proportional
system. We don't We don't have a

1057
01:35:04.800 --> 01:35:09.000
parliamentary kind of a system with coalitions
and that sort of thing. It's sort

1058
01:35:09.039 --> 01:35:11.119
of like people like, we need
to get rid of the electoral college and

1059
01:35:11.159 --> 01:35:13.640
go to a popular vote. If
you want to do that, well then

1060
01:35:13.640 --> 01:35:16.399
you have to change the laws.
You have to do legislation, and that's

1061
01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:19.840
hard. That takes a long time. You got to build up support and

1062
01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:25.560
coalitions for that. And why do
that that kind of hard work when you

1063
01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:29.479
can just get a bunch of money
from some you know, really rich leftists

1064
01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:33.680
and sue su, sue until you're
able to get a bunch of lawyers in

1065
01:35:33.800 --> 01:35:38.880
black robes to rewrite the law for
you. See, that's way easier,

1066
01:35:39.199 --> 01:35:43.000
way easier. And it has the
added benefit of keeping a lot of lawyers

1067
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:48.000
that these leftist organizations employed the UH. And there's two things. One one

1068
01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:54.560
pushback is it's selected officials choosing their
voters and not the other way around.

1069
01:35:55.079 --> 01:36:00.399
But it's not. And here's why. People are aware that every ten years

1070
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:02.279
we do the census and every ten
years, I mean, this is how

1071
01:36:02.319 --> 01:36:08.000
it's supposed to work. That whoever
is in charge of redistricting, which is

1072
01:36:08.119 --> 01:36:12.479
the legislature, is going to go
through the process. So if voters are

1073
01:36:12.520 --> 01:36:16.039
aware of that, that is something
that they can factor in when voting who

1074
01:36:16.399 --> 01:36:20.479
is in the legislature. And the
second thing is they talk about packing.

1075
01:36:21.039 --> 01:36:25.479
You talked about one of the things
that is that they strive for. One

1076
01:36:26.119 --> 01:36:29.199
is to try to have proportionality in
districts, right, you want to have

1077
01:36:29.319 --> 01:36:32.760
roughly the same number of people,
but also you want districts that have shared

1078
01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:39.159
interest. So when you see the
old Alma Adams map or GK Butterfield map

1079
01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.720
from back in the day, you
have to ask yourself, what is a

1080
01:36:42.880 --> 01:36:47.439
peanut farmer you know nearly on the
coast have in common with a voter in

1081
01:36:47.560 --> 01:36:54.119
downtown Durham. Arguably you want you
would want a map or a district that

1082
01:36:54.279 --> 01:36:59.000
represents all of that downtown Durham.
But if you do that, you're said

1083
01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:03.359
to be packing. But the reality
is people who vote blue in North Carolina

1084
01:37:03.960 --> 01:37:11.760
more proportionally live in higher density population
areas. So yes, you're going to

1085
01:37:11.880 --> 01:37:16.760
have packing because that's where people pack
themselves. And so folks who live within

1086
01:37:17.000 --> 01:37:23.199
let's say the city of Durham have
much more in common from an interest perspective

1087
01:37:23.640 --> 01:37:29.119
than that peanut farmer from Bertie or
you know, wherever county here in North

1088
01:37:29.199 --> 01:37:32.359
Carolina. So yeah, yeah,
that's the packing, but it's packing based

1089
01:37:32.439 --> 01:37:36.920
on shared interest in where people choose
to live well. And then on the

1090
01:37:36.960 --> 01:37:41.319
flip side is the cracking. Right, So you've got cracking and packing,

1091
01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:45.439
and what it means is essentially it's
Calvin Bull. It's I'll know it when

1092
01:37:45.520 --> 01:37:49.439
I see it, and whatever argument
I need to make in order to get

1093
01:37:49.479 --> 01:37:53.800
you to draw a quote fair map. And when Democrats say fair maps,

1094
01:37:53.840 --> 01:37:58.399
they mean maps that give them more
seats than Republicans. Because we went through

1095
01:37:58.439 --> 01:38:01.279
a redistricting in Charlotte with Charlotte City
Council a couple of years ago, and

1096
01:38:01.920 --> 01:38:06.960
they gerrymandered all of those district races
so they could have a They want a

1097
01:38:08.079 --> 01:38:13.359
complete eleven to zero Charlotte City Council. They don't even want two of the

1098
01:38:13.760 --> 01:38:17.079
seven districts to be held by Republicans, even though one of the areas is

1099
01:38:17.159 --> 01:38:23.520
like the last Republican area of the
City of Charlotte inside the city limits.

1100
01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:26.000
And so they say, well,
you know, so, if you split

1101
01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:30.359
up Democrat voters, that's cracking.
If you put Democrats in a district together,

1102
01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:34.399
then that's packing. And whatever argument
they need at any given time,

1103
01:38:34.600 --> 01:38:40.319
they will use cracking or packing.
Yeah, And it's a model that's played

1104
01:38:40.319 --> 01:38:44.640
out in a lot of municipalities Wake
County where they went and they said,

1105
01:38:44.640 --> 01:38:48.159
oh, we're going to have everybody
vote rather than districts and the net result

1106
01:38:48.439 --> 01:38:54.520
is a completely flipped county Commissioner's board. But you know this is we could

1107
01:38:54.560 --> 01:38:56.880
do a whole show on this,
all right, Pete. I appreciate you

1108
01:38:57.000 --> 01:38:59.760
sticking around, but people, oh
yeah, you know, at least need

1109
01:38:59.800 --> 01:39:02.439
done understand what they're striving for and
understand that, yes, partisanship is going

1110
01:39:02.520 --> 01:39:06.159
to be part of it. But
we'll continue this next week. Appreciate it,

1111
01:39:06.279 --> 01:39:09.039
sir. Have a good one,
okay, you too. Have a

1112
01:39:09.079 --> 01:39:12.640
great weekend, guys. Yep,
yep. And that's Pete calender and this

1113
01:39:12.840 --> 01:39:15.479
is race agic here with your weather. What's going on today, sir?

1114
01:39:16.439 --> 01:39:19.920
They make us happy for the weekend. Yes, I'm going to. I

1115
01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:24.760
mean, most people are reasonable though, well, no, not much.

1116
01:39:25.520 --> 01:39:30.920
Wait a second, let me rephrase
that, you know, yeah, exactly.

1117
01:39:31.199 --> 01:39:33.960
I would say most people would say, well, if I've got one

1118
01:39:34.119 --> 01:39:39.000
rainy day and I've got two real
nice days of the next three, I

1119
01:39:39.079 --> 01:39:41.840
think most people would say, that's
okay. And it may be one of

1120
01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:45.800
of the next nine days we have
rain showers. And that's today. Westbound

1121
01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:49.239
as you go west of Greensboro,
Winston say, I'm starting to see this

1122
01:39:49.479 --> 01:39:55.279
line of showers come and extends north
in southwest Virginia and the Roanoke Valley right

1123
01:39:55.399 --> 01:40:00.199
down through and getting into western Stokes
now and through Yatkin County in points out

1124
01:40:00.239 --> 01:40:03.479
of that, down your Statesville and
rolling east, so pretty soon here Winston,

1125
01:40:03.560 --> 01:40:06.920
Salem, Greensboro, and then eventually
the triangle is this round of showers

1126
01:40:06.920 --> 01:40:10.600
goes through, there's another one back
behind that, so a few showers,

1127
01:40:10.640 --> 01:40:14.199
maybe a thundershower mixed in there.
Shouldn't see too much in a way of

1128
01:40:14.399 --> 01:40:17.279
heavy rain, but still new since
a little breezy today, still should climb

1129
01:40:17.359 --> 01:40:21.079
upper sixties, low seventies. A
threat for a shower thunderstorm tonight, but

1130
01:40:21.159 --> 01:40:25.119
I think most of it's wrapping up. If you do have Friday night football,

1131
01:40:25.399 --> 01:40:28.600
I really don't think there'll be much
rain left, and then the payoff

1132
01:40:28.600 --> 01:40:31.319
will be the weekend. Casey upper
sixties, maybe seventy degrees, a little

1133
01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:34.000
breezy at times, so the mornings
when we're waking up to the forties to

1134
01:40:34.079 --> 01:40:38.840
near fifty might be a little brisk, but it's gonna look good and we'll

1135
01:40:38.880 --> 01:40:42.359
keep it beautiful through early next week. Pleasant highs in the sixties through Tuesday,

1136
01:40:42.439 --> 01:40:45.439
lows a low to mid forties maybe
a little cooler in some spots.

1137
01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:47.760
So we get through today. As
I said, if you're a reasonable person,

1138
01:40:48.159 --> 01:40:51.439
not a bad forecast. Okay,
all right, Well for the couple

1139
01:40:51.720 --> 01:40:56.039
reasonable people there you go and have
a good weekend, sir, Okay,

1140
01:40:56.039 --> 01:41:10.960
block Monday and good Joan Donagher Bloomberg
News joins us. Next smart Talk all

1141
01:41:11.079 --> 01:41:15.720
Day ninety four to five WPTI in
the triad and one six one FM talk

1142
01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:21.159
in the triangles. All right,
good morning, a fifty three happy Friday.

1143
01:41:21.359 --> 01:41:27.800
And Joan Donager Lumberg News joining us. Joan cap Off our week course.

1144
01:41:27.880 --> 01:41:30.199
What's going on? Well, you
know, if you have money,

1145
01:41:30.279 --> 01:41:34.720
you don't mind spending it right An
American Express can certainly back that up.

1146
01:41:34.800 --> 01:41:41.800
It's profits and sales last quarter soared
to records because it kept attracting new cardholders

1147
01:41:41.800 --> 01:41:45.159
who were willing to pay an annual
price for its premium products. Those fee

1148
01:41:45.199 --> 01:41:48.920
based cards made up more than seventy
percent of all new accounts added during the

1149
01:41:49.000 --> 01:41:54.239
quarter. Some encouraging news for Apple
from AT and T. The telecom company

1150
01:41:54.359 --> 01:41:59.199
CEO says AT and T saw the
strongest iPhone orders last month in many years.

1151
01:41:59.279 --> 01:42:02.199
It saw customers upgrading to the new
iPhones at a higher rate than in

1152
01:42:02.319 --> 01:42:06.640
the last several quarters. The iPhone
made up about half of Apple's sales during

1153
01:42:06.680 --> 01:42:12.399
the second quarter of the year.
Elon Musk's X going the subscription route.

1154
01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:15.159
Musk says on the social media platform
that used to be known as Twitter this

1155
01:42:15.279 --> 01:42:20.640
morning that X will launch two new
tiers of premium subscriptions, a lot like

1156
01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:26.199
Netflix and other streamers. One is
lower cost with all features but no reduction

1157
01:42:26.359 --> 01:42:30.159
in ads, the other more expensive
but ad free. Some things are starting

1158
01:42:30.239 --> 01:42:33.159
to look a little better this Friday
morning, though the auto strike for one,

1159
01:42:33.479 --> 01:42:38.880
A top United Auto Workers negotiator says
GM and the UAW are moving towards

1160
01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:41.560
a deal. He says, all
the pieces are there. Both sides just

1161
01:42:41.640 --> 01:42:44.600
have to glue them together. He
says, though they are still divided on

1162
01:42:44.720 --> 01:42:47.319
pay and pensions, but the union
will meet with GM today to keep talking.

1163
01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:51.399
And the economy is looking up too. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg think the

1164
01:42:51.479 --> 01:42:56.520
output of goods and services grew three
and a half percent over the past three

1165
01:42:56.600 --> 01:43:00.279
months. That's the fastest in almost
two years. So now they're pulling back

1166
01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:04.000
on their bets on recession in the
next year. So now the cold water

1167
01:43:04.199 --> 01:43:09.039
more proof the so called American dream
home ownership is pulling out a reach for

1168
01:43:09.199 --> 01:43:13.479
more people. The Redfinn real estate
brokerage says home buyers needed to make one

1169
01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:17.439
hundred and fourteen thousand dollars a year
to afford a typical home in September,

1170
01:43:17.840 --> 01:43:23.279
figuring on a seven point two percent
mortgage rate with a twenty percent down payment

1171
01:43:23.359 --> 01:43:28.159
on a median priced home. But
casey, in twenty twelve, you needed

1172
01:43:28.239 --> 01:43:32.159
only thirty eight thousand dollars a year
to buy the typical home. Yeah,

1173
01:43:32.720 --> 01:43:36.680
that whole thing when you look at
it compared like from a historical perspective.

1174
01:43:38.479 --> 01:43:42.239
So some people trash on you know, kids these days don't get it.

1175
01:43:42.399 --> 01:43:45.399
But like if you math it out, like how you yet it? Yeah,

1176
01:43:45.439 --> 01:43:51.279
it's pretty absolutely absolutely just no way. Yeah, this is why I

1177
01:43:51.359 --> 01:43:56.000
live under an overpass. It's much
cheaper. Well there you go, and

1178
01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:58.720
you know it's shield you from the
rain and snow. Yeah. Well,

1179
01:43:58.760 --> 01:44:00.800
good time of the year too,
nice weather. All right, thank you,

1180
01:44:00.920 --> 01:44:02.640
Joan, appreciate it, and uh
have a good weekend. Okay,

1181
01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:06.399
thanks you too. All right,
there you go, Joan Doniger, Bloomberg

1182
01:44:06.520 --> 01:44:10.439
News. That's why Ross is finally
putting a roof on his house. So

1183
01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:14.119
I think I was talking about it
earlier and people like, oh, he's

1184
01:44:14.159 --> 01:44:16.840
replacing it now. I just just
finally getting one. So that'll be good

1185
01:44:17.760 --> 01:44:21.760
keeping all your stuff in. Yeah
yeah yeah, so hey, look it

1186
01:44:21.840 --> 01:44:27.159
got Mark Watney into space. So
I mean that's exactly how I felt.

1187
01:44:27.239 --> 01:44:34.119
See yeah, see craziness. Oh
man, what a show. Basically we

1188
01:44:34.159 --> 01:44:38.239
were able to we were able to
get half of the show just based on

1189
01:44:39.319 --> 01:44:42.279
whether co Ed's are hot. So
and you know what, that's a that's

1190
01:44:42.319 --> 01:44:45.800
a good show. Plus people found
out, uh you know Ross and I

1191
01:44:46.359 --> 01:44:51.760
we do the radio, but also
very hot. So uh now you know

1192
01:44:51.880 --> 01:44:55.479
in fact, Ross right now,
you guys don't know. He walked around

1193
01:44:55.479 --> 01:44:59.359
the studio just covered in cooking oil, pointing at stuff but doing that like

1194
01:44:59.560 --> 01:45:02.039
where's our not outstretched, it's in
an L shape. It's all just like

1195
01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:05.239
Hogan's old promos back in the day. Yeah yeah, so I'm like,

1196
01:45:05.319 --> 01:45:11.199
where's reports and he's like over there, I have the the intern dressed of

1197
01:45:11.319 --> 01:45:14.359
like me and Gene. Oh yeah
yeah you might not. That's not a

1198
01:45:14.399 --> 01:45:16.159
real mustache. He has a hormone
disorder. He can't even grow a mustache.

1199
01:45:16.319 --> 01:45:19.720
Oh it's fake because you know I
don't interact with the interns. So

1200
01:45:20.479 --> 01:45:25.920
interns man, all right, so
uh yeah, yeah, that's that's a

1201
01:45:25.960 --> 01:45:28.560
Friday show I can totally get with. And I remind you too. We

1202
01:45:28.640 --> 01:45:32.720
got that video at Casey on the
radio. What happens when it is dueling

1203
01:45:34.079 --> 01:45:41.520
dueling groups of moon bat interests.
Well, how about a bus of migrants

1204
01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:45.239
getting stopped by the uh the block
the road, get rid of oil people?

1205
01:45:45.960 --> 01:45:51.399
It plays out, The video is
delicious, The audio is great because

1206
01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:55.760
Lord knows, right, hold on, get my button bar here, because

1207
01:45:56.000 --> 01:46:06.680
Lord knows it's theater. Kid overload
with them like they never imagined. They

1208
01:46:06.800 --> 01:46:11.600
never imagined that there's a possibility that
people wouldn't abide by what they wanted.

1209
01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:18.359
And I'm there's people on the ground, Well why are you on the ground

1210
01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:24.560
of the road man? And again
I love that their screams are literally the

1211
01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:29.000
ones that I would mockingly do if
attempting to describe it with the situation to

1212
01:46:29.079 --> 01:46:31.159
you. But it didn't have the
audio. Growing up in Wyoming, were

1213
01:46:31.199 --> 01:46:33.720
you taught to stay out the roads
or do you not have roads? Well

1214
01:46:33.760 --> 01:46:41.000
that's where the bears go, right, So we have roads kind of that's

1215
01:46:41.039 --> 01:46:45.199
another story for another day, because
we have gates that shut our roads,

1216
01:46:45.239 --> 01:46:47.239
and then we just find other places
to drive. And I'm not saying I've

1217
01:46:47.279 --> 01:46:50.199
driven across the field to get around
one of those, but it may have

1218
01:46:50.279 --> 01:46:55.399
happened. But check that video out
at Case on the radio. Have a

1219
01:46:55.479 --> 01:46:57.520
good weekend. We'll see you back
here Monday.
