WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>We are watching you. It was damn near an eighty song.

2
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:11.519
<v Speaker 1>We are watching you. We are onto you, secret Ross's

3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>computer program thief, We're onto you. We're seeing what's happening.

4
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Somebody is stealing applications and programs off Ross's three computers.

5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Dude, it makes no sense none. I'm recording a commercial today,

6
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 2>got up early to record these spots, right, and I'm

7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 2>in here recording them.

8
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>They're fine, I said, I send them our spots in

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 1>the morning's pretty good. Yeah, send them off to the rep. Good.

10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>And then I go back to, uh, you know, record

11
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 2>some more commercials. The program is just gone close. No,

12
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>it's close close, it's off the desktop. It's gone. I'm

13
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>like restarting my computer. This is like like a thirty

14
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 2>forty minute word deal this morning.

15
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy to have to reboot the whole system.

16
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>The printers, printers aren't working. They're just not like you

17
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>can't print anything. Now that's not gonna happen because we

18
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>print the prep packet in the morning.

19
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>That was another thirty forty minutes. Then I go over.

20
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you know, I'm gonna go over on this

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 2>computer here to my right.

22
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, soh the call screener is yeah, yeah, call Skien,

23
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>which but it only does that, that's its only thing.

24
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>The call s Grinner's been on the desktop for what

25
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>thirteen years? Gone, like it, like it, like it never existed. Okay,

26
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I think we have a contractor ghost.

27
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>It's so weird because there's nothing to be gained from

28
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>any of the things you just said.

29
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Because we're doing all the construction dow the hallway, like

30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 2>half the building is gone. I think we have a

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>contractor ghost.

32
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they're there. They're u or they're basically kind

33
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of revamp and all of our all of our stuff.

34
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>If somebody would cut a wire they weren't supposed to

35
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 2>cut or something, or maybe they.

36
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>Like mcgruber, maybe they're just in there. I saw a

37
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>timer going out. We had a lot of timers because

38
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, things are timed in radio. So yeah, if

39
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>you've never worked in a radio station before, here you are.

40
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>You got You ever open a a ceiling panel and

41
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a radio station. You've never seen so many wires in

42
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 1>your life. It's crazy. In fact, we don't do it

43
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 1>in the Raleigh of Greensboro stations, but in Minneapolis they

44
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>had this real futuristic look where everything was open, so

45
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>you like see the beams of the building and then

46
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 1>they just had these huge like metal luges runways if

47
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you will, and it's just nothing but conduit and audio everything.

48
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>That's why when I came in on Monday, and yeah,

49
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 2>the signs are there, Hey, you know, please don't mind

50
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>our we were doing all this construction mess.

51
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

52
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there's a big you know, the plastic give

53
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>to walk through in the big sign here that says

54
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>please you wear a hard hat or glasses that become

55
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>in this area.

56
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like those of you at home. It's like if

57
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you ever saw a flight to the Navigator when they

58
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 1>first walk into the hangar. It's like that, except there's

59
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 1>no spaceship to ride around in on the other end.

60
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>And I had to go in just because I wanted

61
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to see all the stuff that was open in the

62
00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>ceiling because it's so nuts.

63
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but now they're stealing programs. I don't know what's

64
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>going on. It's just one of those kinds of mornings,

65
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>one of those kinds of mornings. But we'll truck on.

66
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>We'll do what we do because that is what we do.

67
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>And on today's doing of the things that we do

68
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 1>a few things. One eight oh five, we will talk

69
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>to the new state auditor, not the old one she left, Nope,

70
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 1>not the interim one that's gone, Nope. We will talk

71
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>to mister Bullock and see how many cars he's been

72
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>able to jump in gravedigger since assuming office. I'm assuming

73
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 1>that's what they do over there, right, these monster truck cars.

74
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know what they did until last year, So

75
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll be curious to find out more. Or maybe he's

76
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>doing some other stuff. We'll find out. That'll be an

77
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>eight oh five coming up on the show. That was

78
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 1>really weird because they reached out and they're like, hey,

79
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>which is not uncommon when new people get in office.

80
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>They reach out to the from media outlets and hey,

81
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd be available if you guys want to chat. And

82
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>generally we got somebody new coming into office, well we'll

83
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 1>do a little sit down on a state wide office

84
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 1>like that, especially with so many concerns out there. And

85
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>so they send an email and they're like, hey, yeah,

86
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 1>we love to talk to you, and I'm like, yeah, no,

<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

91
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Every time, they're like, hey, we'd like to do an interview.

101
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 2>about like trying to figure out how to pen this

107
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>made an this is how petty I used to be

108
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and still sometimes am, And then I would have done

109
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 1>a massive amount of research to figure out the things

110
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 1>the individual least wants to talk about, not even from

111
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 1>a like a scandal set. Yeah. No, I mean like

112
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>if they have an irrational fear of squirrels or something.

113
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Right week, what do you think of the state the

114

116
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>So they bring me back and I was before I

<v Speaker 2>get back to them in like five.

120
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>You got to cure it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,

121
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see what I came up with. Okay, I'll

122
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 1>be at eight oh five. Stick around for that. I

123
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 1>need to go on the record here though, real quick.

124
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I could to kick things off. We are a week

125
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in a day. We are single digits to this new

126
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>year of us of ours. Maybe we make it. Maybe

127
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 1>even asteroid hits us later. I don't know the the

128
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>amount of grande os. It's an alien invasion conspiracy theories

129
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 1>that are currently blossoming online right now where they just

130
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>pack everything, you know what it is. It's like the

131
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like the alien is everything theory. Do you guys

132
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>know this?

133
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 4>All?

134
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Right?

135
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>So there is there is a a stream of conspiracy theory.

136
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 1>I guess I don't know a channel if you will,

137
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 1>where all the all the weirdness like ghosts right, oh

138
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>it's not ghost right, or demons, all of those things,

139
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the big foots, of the World, the the Exorcisms, the

140
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>it's all aliens, man, and it's all like interdimensional is

141
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a serious it's all interdimensional, including aliens. I I screwed

142
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>that up because there's two versions of it. But basically

143
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's like you versus colliding. So you see

144
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>like specters from another universe and it all and so

145
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it all fits under one nice, neat little thing.

146
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 2>So there's a theory that's been going around about like

147
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Bigfoot and like these supernatural creatures that you've heard for

148
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a while, right because and even UFOs you've been like, oh,

149
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>they're they're from a different dimension and they're sort of

150
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 2>blending into our our dimension. And then that's why you

151
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>can't ever find Bigfoot, because he goes back to his dimension.

152
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 2>But there's a there's a theory maybe you've heard this

153
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>that the reason that happens typically at night is because

154
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 2>it all has to do with the sort of like no,

155
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>like the fear you're feeling, like when you when you

156
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 2>don't feel exactly comfortable, you're like fearful. It takes you

157
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 2>out of your zone and it makes you like it

158
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>blends dimensions.

159
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a lot of movie tropes like that.

160
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:49.959
<v Speaker 2>Which is why it tends to happen at night, because

161
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 2>at night, right it's dark, it's scary. You go back

162
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>to like the primal thing. You don't know what's out there.

163
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>You know to make fire to survive, So it's like

164
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>you tend to be a little bit uneasy, more uneasy night.

165
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you the weirdest stuff I've seen in

166
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>my life, the most unexplainable stuff. Pitch Blackout, Pitch black,

167
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 1>you go, Looney Tunes. Sitting at the top of a

168
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 1>mountain in early October. It's elk season. It's three thirty

169
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.399
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. You're at nine thousand feet. It's early

170
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in the season, so that snow hasn't pushed them down yet,

171
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 1>and you have when you're at that altitude and you

172
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.399
<v Speaker 1>have a clear sky. You've never seen a clear sky

173
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 1>until you've seen a clear sky at altitude and you

174
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>see everything moving, shooting stars, everything. It's just crazy because

175
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>you're just sitting there for two hours waiting for the

176
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>light to come up to see if an elk was

177
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>dumb enough to stand within a couple hundred yards you.

178
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.039
<v Speaker 1>That's all at night and scary during the day. So

179
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 1>my point is this. Maybe it's all done, maybe this

180
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>won't be a problem. But if it's not, and we're

181
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.159
<v Speaker 1>going to do this thing, all three hundred and well,

182
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's the normal year. This year, all three

183
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty five. I am at my peak capacity

184
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of comedians doing podcasts, going what happened? Well, I was

185
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>just making Trump jokes. You all thought I was making

186
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>fun of you, But I love you and I would

187
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 1>never do that thing. I'm done with him. Yeah, dude,

188
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.320
<v Speaker 1>they're full of crap. I'm so done with this already.

189
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Jim Gaffigan is the one who's probably getting the most

190
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 1>pub now, but Jack Black was doing this too, And.

191
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Jim Gaffigan's been dead to me for a while. It's

192
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.679
<v Speaker 2>because he never got political. It was one of those

193
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 2>things where I remember Glenn Beck.

194
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 1>Tow's pocket guy, right, Yeah.

195
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Glenn Beck talking about it, like Glenn Beck liked him

196
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>because he had no idea what his politics was. And

197
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>then it was like what two or three years ago,

198
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 2>you log onto Twitter at the Times and he's like

199
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>turning into Patton Oswald and he's having a complete meltdown

200
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 2>and calling like half the country like special needs and

201
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>like drop you know.

202
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Gaffigan called literally half the country a bunch of differences. Yeah,

203
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even gonna repeat what he said, so to

204
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>say it's just making Trump jokes. No, no, you weren't.

205
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>And Jack Black, I don't believe because here's what I

206
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>battle with. Do people do we need to be able

207
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 1>to I've been wrong? Right? Uh? Police body cameras is

208
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>the big example I use. I was stopped because you

209
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 1>know what I thought. I thought it was unfairly burdening,

210
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 1>unfairly burdening law enforcement officers in kind of opposition to

211
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 1>the innocent, util proven guilty side of things, right, or

212
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 1>you're just making that assumption. And then I talked to

213
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot of law enforcement officers like, no, man, we

214
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.399
<v Speaker 1>want them. This is the best thing that happens. A

215
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of the officers were buying them before. We need

216
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to make sure the legal process is there so people

217
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>can't just scoop out five seconds. We have no recourse.

218
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>And I was willing to. I was willing to say,

219
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what, you know what, you guys are making

220
00:10:55.639 --> 00:11:01.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sense and change my position. Not because

221
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 1>it made my tour come back, okay, but because I

222
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>honestly and I think there needs to be room out there,

223
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 1>So I battle with it. When I look at Jim Gaffigan, who,

224
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 1>much like Ross, was pointing out like I didn't know

225
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>anything about his politics until Trump came around. He was

226
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 1>the hot pocket guy. Just he was on the goofy

227
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 1>your end of comedians. He was a comedian too. You

228
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>could probably play in front of your kids, which you know,

229
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.039
<v Speaker 1>some comedians you can, some you can't. Gaff again, you

230
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.639
<v Speaker 1>can do that whole bit in front of your kids

231
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>probably laugh their butts off. So I don't. The problem

232
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>is I don't believe you. I don't believe that Jack Ross.

233
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 1>Do you believe Jack back Black's motivation is because he

234
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>had to come to Jesus moment and thought that maybe

235
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 1>some of his fans were set.

236
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>No, it's again, it wasn't Jack Black that said the

237
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 2>thing on stage ready, it was the other guy.

238
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Was Kyle Gash, his partner. But Jack Black responded without

239
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>saying anything negative.

240
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 2>You know what happened to as you were on stage,

241
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.759
<v Speaker 2>one of you said something really still right, and then

242
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 2>you're which.

243
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>By the way, you know he's probably said a lot

244
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 1>worse in the green room.

245
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, if you're saying that on stage with your bandmate

246
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, or your co host or whatever you're doing. Yeah,

247
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you've had those conversations before, so you slipped it out. However,

248
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>when you did that, you weren't you know, it's a

249
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 2>different environment than it was even two years ago. Like

250
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 2>that pendulum from the left of the right has swung right.

251
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.720
<v Speaker 2>We're sort of like going in an anti woke direction

252
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 2>out thank god. So you make this like assassination joke.

253
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>What do you say, like, hopefully the guy won't miss

254
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>next time?

255
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, immediately time they won't miss.

256
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Instead of people laughing and patting you in the back,

257
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 2>they cancel your entire tour. Now you're feeling it in

258
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>your wallet and you're like, oh well, now I'm feeling remorseful.

259
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think Black just had a movie come out,

260
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't He wasn't he one of the big Christmas movies

261
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 1>that one of the story that was awful. It's horrible.

262
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's right.

263
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 2>We talked about it about the boy who writes the Santa,

264
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.159
<v Speaker 2>but he accidentally writes the Satan and he plays he

265
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.120
<v Speaker 2>plays Satan. We watched it for like an hour or.

266
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Like we keep by the way, it could be a

267
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>hilarious premise if it was done in the night.

268
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>To be fair, he was good in the movie. It

269
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.519
<v Speaker 2>was everybody else was awful. Uh well, but yeah, you're right.

270
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe you were talking about Mark Zuckerberg yesterday

271
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>and like his his apparent transition, and I believe Mark

272
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Zuckerberg because you can see those pivot points along the way,

273
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>right he said after Trump was shot at and survived

274
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:23.320
<v Speaker 2>the assassination.

275
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>He's the photo. Yeah, he said that was the.

276
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Most one of the most badass things you ever seen.

277
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.720
<v Speaker 2>And you know you can you can find these pivot

278
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.519
<v Speaker 2>points along the way when it comes to these like

279
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>John Cryer or Jim Gaffigan.

280
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Don't believe John cry There's no hope for that dude.

281
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>If you saw any of his little Bill Mark clips

282
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.639
<v Speaker 1>from the interview the other day, Bill mars like treating

283
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>him like a toddler who got hit in the head

284
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 1>with a rock at birth.

285
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's not the differing in opinions. I can handle

286
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>a differing opinion. It's a matter of the incredible arrogance

287
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 2>they they're so confident, but they're so wrong simultaneously that

288
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 2>it's off putting.

289
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>And you're wrong about stuff. You want to be wrong

290
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 1>about the moon landing, I'll find you amusing, right, Hey,

291
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to hear what you have to say, and

292
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>there will be no hostility if if you don't want

293
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to make it hostile, I won't make it hostile with

294
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.559
<v Speaker 1>John Cryer, you're sitting there with with Bill Maher, who

295
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:22.039
<v Speaker 1>is again, there isn't a conservative bone in Bill Maher's

296
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.799
<v Speaker 1>body in anything that I've ever heard him expouse, with

297
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe the exception of being a lot more forward thinking

298
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 1>on what you know, all this Caliphate stuff does, right,

299
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and uh yeah, these people are trying to murder us

300
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's not cool, right, And you're like, hey, what

301
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>if what if y'all come live with us, will you

302
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>not want to murder us? Then? Whoopsie, you still want

303
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to murder us some of you. Yeah. Yeah. So when

304
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>when mar Like gave up trying to convince Crier of

305
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>just really basic things, that was all the clips I

306
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:02.919
<v Speaker 1>could watch. But dude, man, the Jim Gaffigan stuff I got,

307
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I just I have no energy for it. I don't

308
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and I hate it.

309
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 2>It's sad because he showed up on Netflix or whatever

310
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 2>it was, and you know mine, he check out the

311
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>New Jim Gaffigan Special, and if it was like two

312
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 2>three years ago, been like, yeah, well check that out,

313
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>watching it around my kid, it'll be fine, And I'm like, nope,

314
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.679
<v Speaker 2>no interest.

315
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, they're not gonna

316
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>go away, but yeah, how do you determine that somebody

317
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>really has figured it out? See? I got people email

318
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>me Zucherberg's nothing but a weasel slithering out it. Maybe

319
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm convinced one way or the other,

320
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know how to deal with it. But

321
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 1>again I don't. I if people i'd make fun of

322
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Roy Cooper, who, by the way, he sent me like

323
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>ten emails asking for money yesterday, because again I sign

324
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 1>up for all this stuff, or Josh Stein pretending like

325
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 1>he just figured out something happened to Western North Carolina's

326
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna take credit for doing something about it. Wait, I can.

327
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 1>I can criticize Cooper and short round there. But if

328
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>at any point during all that FEMA stuff, if they

329
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 1>had come out and be like, what the hell's going

330
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.799
<v Speaker 1>on with these houses? Why are they sitting at the airport?

331
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 1>What are we doing here? I wouldn't I wouldn't have

332
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>been critical of them because I'd be like, thank you

333
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>for paying attention to this. Of course it didn't happen,

334
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>but uh, you know what, we'll take a break, be

335
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 1>right back. Rosse you still eat the cookies. I don't

336
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>know with your current diet stuff, is it dangerous? Girl

337
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Scout cookies? And I pretty much eat whatever I want? Okay,

338
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>what's your favorite cookie, by the way, Girl Scout cookie? Yes?

339
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Or just like cookie in general? No, Girl Scout cookie.

340
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I like that thin mints, but I also like the samos.

341
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we can call them simoens anymore, but

342
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>they're samoans.

343
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, something else. Then they had s'mores, the peanut butter. Well,

344
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know all of them. They're not really a

345
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.399
<v Speaker 1>sweet skuy per se I did. The other thing I

346
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>love most about Girl Scout Cookies is one avoiding coworkers

347
00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:01.320
<v Speaker 1>on that uh and two uh and the dude uh.

348
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's the owner or whatever, but

349
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 1>the guy who works I'm pretty sure. I think he

350
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 1>lives in the VP by the station here, him and

351
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:10.400
<v Speaker 1>his brother and just sleep in the back. And they're

352
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 1>from Ghana and they're very cool actually, but his name's

353
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Moustafa anyway, where that dude buys girls scout cookies now

354
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>and then he waits for you all to eat him,

355
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and then he sells them on the counter for like

356
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 1>double price and then people flip out. I love that.

357
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I love I love capitalism of play, Like, well, maybe

358
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you should have bought more cookies, fatso wouldn't have to

359
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:35.160
<v Speaker 1>pay Mustafa seven dollars for that bag. But I that's

360
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that's where. That's where that's at, and watching people lose

361
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 1>their minds when cookies come and go, and apparently two

362
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of them are going. So h stay tuned to find

363
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 1>out if it's your flavor. All right, okay, so uh

364
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>let me go here, shall we. It's not going well

365
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>out in California. The the fires, now, there's three of them.

366
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're all hobo fires, but I

367
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be surprised. There was a wild video out there.

368
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Ross hadn't even seen this. Actually, there's a video of

369
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:13.880
<v Speaker 1>this homeless woman who's literally on she's on the backside

370
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:18.319
<v Speaker 1>of one of the big like bluffs there on the ocean,

371
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.279
<v Speaker 1>which they don't have a lot in LA but but

372
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, it looks very similar like what you see

373
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.880
<v Speaker 1>in North Carolina where you have to walk over the

374
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 1>mound where they've packed the sand over the berm there

375
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and then but it's got all the dry stuff on there.

376
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>This lunatic, she's that. You can see the fire in

377
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 1>the background from Pacific Palisades, so I guess she's Santa

378
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.319
<v Speaker 1>Monica ish. The geography has failing me right now. But

379
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and this homeowner screaming at her because she's stacking like pallettes,

380
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 1>busted palletts she stole from like the back of a

381
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>wal Mart or something, lighting them on fire, going we

382
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 1>need more fire. This guy's like, what are you screaming

383
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:58.519
<v Speaker 1>at her? But politely, there's some lunatic setting the berm

384
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.279
<v Speaker 1>on fire next to my house. Please is not a

385
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 1>word that's gonna be in my vocabulary. This guy's like,

386
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like those people punish their kid who's

387
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 1>arsening a store. They're like, Johnny, we don't arsen stores.

388
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:15.559
<v Speaker 1>And let's just say, how did we get here? And

389
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>there's so much craziness to it. Some people are upset

390
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 1>because there have been some very critical, very critical Uh oh,

391
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:34.119
<v Speaker 1>that's great, all right, Hey, Ross, I'm getting a bunch

392
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 1>of messages they're saying that our stream is not streaming

393
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the show. So I am not surprised. Okay, what is

394
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.759
<v Speaker 1>the first thing I told you this morning? Right? Like,

395
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.039
<v Speaker 1>I know everything's broken. Everything's broken, all right, So know

396
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that we know, and we'll tell people that are smarter

397
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.440
<v Speaker 1>than us, and maybe that'll maybe well, or maybe shut

398
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>your app and reopen it if I could just be

399
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the call center guy for a moment. Okay, back to this.

400
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.559
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, people are getting upset because they were, among

401
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 1>other things, they were mocking the fire chief out there

402
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and what's her name? Kristin Crowley? And they're like, wait, Ross,

403
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna send something. Have you seen a picture of

404
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Kristin Crowley just carried for this? What is your problem? Oh?

405
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 1>There we go. Are you watch your show account or no?

406
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna send it to both of them. Roz has

407
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.359
<v Speaker 1>a secret account. You have to know him to know

408
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 1>what it is. All right, I'm gonna send that to you.

409
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>When you get a moment, open it and tell me

410
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not Val Kilmer. Okay, anyway, so let's let me

411
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 1>just give me one example. Lives of TikTok tweeted meet

412
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles fire chief Kristin Crowley, who boast about being

413
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the first female and first LGBTQ fire chief in the

414
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 1>LA Fire Department, promoting a what what looks like?

415
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 2>It's Val Kilmer from the latest of the latest Top

416
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Gun movie where they just show his photos on the

417
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 2>wall because you know, he has the issue where you

418
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>can't really speak anymore, so they put they put him

419
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 2>in the movie. It was great how they put him

420
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 2>in the movie. But anyway, you know, yeah, Maverick goes

421
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>there and the photo of Val Kilmer Iceman's admiral character

422
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:24.359
<v Speaker 2>is up on the wall and this person looks just

423
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.279
<v Speaker 2>like Val Kilmer in that movie.

424
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>So Iceman, which is a weird uh moniker for somebody

425
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 1>who's the fire chief would point out, but a sorry, sorry,

426
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.599
<v Speaker 1>she looks like Val Kilmer. There's no hate there. She

427
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:43.599
<v Speaker 1>just looks like Val Kilmer the way. It's badass, Like

428
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I wish I looked like Val Kilmer, right, I know,

429
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>but old Val Kilmer. I want to look my first

430
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Top Gun Val Kilma. It doesn't matter to me. Anything

431
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:57.440
<v Speaker 1>will be an improvement. H you get to be an admiral.

432
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:02.039
<v Speaker 1>So there's that. So anyway, they're very upset, like why

433
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 1>are they tweeting that out not at this time, and

434
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I and part of me is like, I understand what

435
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, but also yes, at this time. And here's

436
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.119
<v Speaker 1>why some of the other stories we're seeing right now

437
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.079
<v Speaker 1>is they're showing up and they're trying to put out

438
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:23.519
<v Speaker 1>fires and there's been zero oversight and maintenance on the

439
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>hydrants and the water pressure. So they're showing up to

440
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:31.200
<v Speaker 1>these places. And California is tricky anyway with water pressure

441
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:35.799
<v Speaker 1>and water access, but you have to the sustainability of

442
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the network is part of what the fire Department works

443
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:41.400
<v Speaker 1>with the City of Los Angeles Water department and other

444
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the other communities around the communities. This is what they

445
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 1>work with them, not so that when there is a fire,

446
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.519
<v Speaker 1>especially in a place where fires are a thing, they

447
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>have infrastructure there. And keeping in mind too that the

448
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 1>properties that they're protecting and they're drawing taxes from are

449
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:04.599
<v Speaker 1>some of the most expensive in the world. And and

450
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 1>and yet it seems like the priority of this particular

451
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>fire chief in a lot of the media and stuff

452
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>that I've seen passed around is is we're gonna We're

453
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna make sure that the LA Fire Department is the

454
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 1>most diverse out there. It's not just LGBT, it's you know,

455
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.640
<v Speaker 1>socioeconomic and which is weird kind of how do you

456
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:28.839
<v Speaker 1>gauge that? And then you know your background black or

457
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 1>brown or white or whatever like And I'm just like,

458
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:36.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the person who's houses on fire cares.

459
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they care. And if you in a

460
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:45.279
<v Speaker 1>very challenging environment, are not even able to maintain your

461
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.799
<v Speaker 1>own infrastructure, and yet you got time to make, you know,

462
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:55.559
<v Speaker 1>dancing COVID nurse style videos every week and talking about

463
00:23:55.559 --> 00:24:00.319
<v Speaker 1>how you want to forcibly stack the diversity within your department. Man,

464
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't people don't feel like your eyes on the ball.

465
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.160
<v Speaker 1>This is what's so much of this that is getting

466
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 1>ready to happen and is currently happening. This this transition

467
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is weirdness that you feel right now where companies are

468
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:14.720
<v Speaker 1>going like McDonald's just days, it's like, why are we

469
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 1>doing this DEI stuff? McDonald's might be the least it

470
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>might be the company with the least necessity to do it.

471
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Is there is there is there any racial or social

472
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>stigma LGBT or men versus women or any of the

473
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:37.440
<v Speaker 1>divisive stuff. Is there is there any even stereotype of

474
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.839
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's being a place where white people go, or black

475
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.160
<v Speaker 1>people go, or brown people go, or gay people go.

476
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean the latest McDonald's. The latest stereotype would be

477
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>that they never get your order right now.

478
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>That would be it. So if they could fix that,

479
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 1>that'd be amazing. No no, no no, but I mean

480
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:55.920
<v Speaker 1>like the makeup of the staff there or the customers

481
00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:00.519
<v Speaker 1>who go. Nobody cares. Everybody's slumming it, okay, And I

482
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say that. I got no disrespect for

483
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.400
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's on that. Give me, give me a double quarter

484
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:09.039
<v Speaker 1>pounder every now and then. I'm down. I even ate

485
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it when they said the onions would kill you, I'm like,

486
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 1>you're not stopping me. I want what I'm gonna have.

487
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I just ordered the onions, frosted a whole thing onions.

488
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 1>I ate it. Maybe I just did it. Not a coward, yeah, crazy, Yeah.

489
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Nobody cares about this. And when their homes are on fire,

490
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 1>they don't care. They want two things. They want to

491
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 1>know that whoever's in there, whether it's this Val Kilmer

492
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>look alike or a man or somebody doesn't want to

493
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.640
<v Speaker 1>give you their pronouns or a green marshal that what

494
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 1>they care about when your house is on fire, The

495
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>only thing you care about is putting your house out, right.

496
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I know that we could do some like hollywooded nineteen

497
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.200
<v Speaker 1>forties movie where you know it's like deep set out

498
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.799
<v Speaker 1>like Mississippi outside Oxford, Mississippi, homes on fire and for

499
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 1>firefighters show up, one of them is black, and then

500
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 1>some redneck in overall is going you get down of

501
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 1>here with your black firefighter right right. And you could,

502
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.119
<v Speaker 1>but even in that situation like can you put my

503
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:20.839
<v Speaker 1>house out please, nobody cares about all of this stuff

504
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 1>when their house is on fire. And you have challenges

505
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 1>that are unique to your department, specifically because of how

506
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 1>water works in California, it's crazy, and wildfires in California

507
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 1>are I grew up with fires, Okay, fires out When

508
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you live essentially in a national force and you live

509
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:47.440
<v Speaker 1>in a really lett it burned permissive environment, we have

510
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:50.319
<v Speaker 1>fires all the time. I was just talking. We had

511
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a fire, a fire that just they just got all

512
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:58.200
<v Speaker 1>of it here. Like two weeks ago, we had a

513
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.759
<v Speaker 1>fire up there outside of Wyoming, up by where my

514
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 1>brother and his wife live. And it's and and so

515
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 1>you like you're constantly trying to figure out what the

516
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>wind's doing where you're at. What should you evacuate? You

517
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 1>go stay with your aunt and uncle, should you get

518
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>some stuff out of your house? What should you do?

519
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Like that was part in California. It's like that, but

520
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>in an urban environment it's really weird. And during my

521
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>time in California, when I was a little kid, my

522
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.720
<v Speaker 1>grandparents who had already moved there, they almost lost their

523
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 1>house during a fire called the Painted Cave Fire, which was,

524
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, in the eighties, late eighties, early nineties.

525
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.599
<v Speaker 1>But we had fires when I was at school in California,

526
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.839
<v Speaker 1>and they're like they're just a thing, but they're a

527
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.519
<v Speaker 1>thing where the fire because so we had a fire

528
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>where if you go south of Santa Barbara, you go

529
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>through what's called Carpenterrhea and then you eventually get to

530
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Ventura and now you're kind of in the La Metro

531
00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>one thousand Oaks and Chatsworth and all that there, and

532
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.720
<v Speaker 1>they we had a fire that started up in like

533
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.079
<v Speaker 1>a Yaviota burn all the way up the top of

534
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the of the mountains there, the coastal mountains there, and

535
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:12.920
<v Speaker 1>decided one day the winds were just right. It was

536
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:14.920
<v Speaker 1>basically going to start from the top of the mountain

537
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and the winds were flowing straight west, and in a

538
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:23.279
<v Speaker 1>course of an hour, it moved five miles inland, jumped

539
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the freeway, jump the one on one and the one

540
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>on ones right at the coast, jumped it just so

541
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it could burn everything on the small, little other side

542
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>of the hill there before you hit the ocean. Yeah,

543
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the thing, I was ready. Yesterday.

544
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>They were saying it was crazy, nine o'clock at night

545
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>less thing. They were saying it was traveling so fat,

546
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 2>it was like three football fields of really twenty seconds.

547
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, I had never seen anything like it. Fires

548
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:48.799
<v Speaker 1>move fast up in uh you know where I grew up.

549
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 1>But this is something different because it doesn't have to

550
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>stick around and burn for that long, because it's not

551
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>like a forest full of Douglas firs. Right.

552
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I was watching an interview at I think it was

553
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:02.440
<v Speaker 2>with Josh Brolin, and he was talking to because I

554
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>guess he moved out of California whatever, And he said

555
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:06.599
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons why he was talking to his buddy,

556
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>who was like a big a big big shot like

557
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 2>fire firefighter guy whatever, like knew what he's talking about.

558
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 2>He said, all you need to do in this certain

559
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:15.839
<v Speaker 2>area of the world is have the breeze come in

560
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:17.440
<v Speaker 2>a certain way and have the right sort of and

561
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the whole it'll just take out the entire the entire everything's.

562
00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Dry all the time. It's it's it's dry. And even

563
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.559
<v Speaker 1>though you have all these houses around, there's so many wis.

564
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:29.720
<v Speaker 1>They have water restrictions that I thought were draconian in

565
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the nineties when I went there for school, Like I remember,

566
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:35.160
<v Speaker 1>they're like because we had a little bit of grass

567
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 1>and my landlord was like, do not water this at

568
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.799
<v Speaker 1>during the daytime and he can only do it like

569
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.359
<v Speaker 1>this day of the week. And he's like, please don't

570
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>cause a fine was so massive. You don't want to

571
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>get fine because of his tenants. And I understood it.

572
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.160
<v Speaker 1>And so yeah, as soon as this stuff hits, it

573
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>goes and I remember what So to my point with

574
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it jumping the freeway, they were reporting on the news

575
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:58.680
<v Speaker 1>like they would report a traffic jam, like, ah, if

576
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you're headed south on the what one out of Montecito,

577
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:05.160
<v Speaker 1>before you get to Summerland and Carpenteria, there's gonna be

578
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a giant fireball crossed the freeway at some point this afternoon,

579
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:13.559
<v Speaker 1>so you probably shouldn't go there. That's how this stuff works.

580
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 1>So it takes eye on the ball. It takes the

581
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 1>best in the world if you're in a very fire

582
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:22.599
<v Speaker 1>prone area dealing with a lot of unique circumstances. So

583
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:27.519
<v Speaker 1>that's why people are upset. Job number two. If you're

584
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a reporter and you want to make your

585
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:35.559
<v Speaker 1>bones in the number two media market in the country,

586
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 1>which is Los Angeles, New York's number one. Los Angeles

587
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 1>is number two, good for you. You have climbed the

588
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:46.960
<v Speaker 1>pinnacle of your career. You should probably know who the

589
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:50.680
<v Speaker 1>actors are because if not, you're just gonna make me

590
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 1>feel old and stupid. Okay, you should know who the

591
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>actors are, and I know you're not gonna have all

592
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 1>of them, But if you don't know, like I know

593
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>actors from before I was born Horn and arguably the

594
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.279
<v Speaker 1>actor I'm going to bring up here, really I was

595
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 1>a really little kid when he was in his prime.

596
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.279
<v Speaker 1>But like, you gotta know, and you have to assume

597
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.039
<v Speaker 1>when you're standing in a Pacific Palisades neighborhood with ten

598
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 1>million dollar homes that you might run into some actors

599
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.480
<v Speaker 1>because this dude had no idea who he was talking to.

600
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's clear even though you can't hear, it's clear

601
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to me. And if you think about it, that there's

602
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>some producer back at you know, in the van or

603
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 1>back at the station screaming in this dude's year at

604
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.279
<v Speaker 1>some point. Listen to this insane interview.

605
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:40.119
<v Speaker 5>You're Palisades Drive. If anybody has a car and they

606
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 5>leave the car, leave the keys in the car so

607
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.200
<v Speaker 5>that we can move your car so that these fire

608
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:46.880
<v Speaker 5>trucks can get up Palistrades Drive.

609
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, are you picking up on this? This

610
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 1>is why I didn't want to set it out. I'm

611
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna play that part again. So that's the voice of

612
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the person being interviewed.

613
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Anybody our age knows exactly who that is by the voice.

614
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to see, just by the voice. Yeah, yeah,

615
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty quie. All right, So if I know it's a release,

616
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna play that part again. We'll play the

617
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker 1>whole clip though, but before before the guy because you'll

618
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>hear him give his name because he's asked for it.

619
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:14.880
<v Speaker 1>See if you can figure it out here In the

620
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.559
<v Speaker 1>next about it's about fifteen twenty seconds in here we go.

621
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Listen closely.

622
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 5>You're on Palisades Drive. If anybody has a car and

623
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.160
<v Speaker 5>they leave their car, leave the keys in the car

624
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:27.799
<v Speaker 5>so that we can move your car so that these

625
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 5>fire trucks can get up Palisades Drive. What's happening is

626
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 5>people take their keys with them as if they're in

627
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.480
<v Speaker 5>a parking lot. This is not a parking lot. We

628
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.839
<v Speaker 5>really need people to move their car. So if you

629
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.359
<v Speaker 5>leave your car in Palastaid Drive, leave the key in

630
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:43.480
<v Speaker 5>there so a guy like me can move your car,

631
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.839
<v Speaker 5>can get him up there, so that so that these

632
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 5>fire trucks can get up there. It's really really important.

633
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready? You're ready for the big reveal? Here

634
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.240

645
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:19.799

00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>dude's ears. Well, Steve Guttenberg should be like, oh, you

649
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.880
<v Speaker 2>No, first movie I saw in the theater that I

650
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:33.559

00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I saw my sister. It's a great movie.

652
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, just think think of the run this

653
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.519
<v Speaker 1>dude had from like eighty three eighty when the first

654
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.680

655
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.640
<v Speaker 1>cocoon all the sequels of all of them. There's what

656
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:53.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven Police Academies, three men and a baby, Like,

657
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:58.039
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine the eighties without Steve Gutenberg. Man, Steve

00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:04.319
<v Speaker 1>your weekend. I guess how it depended on how I

661
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:06.440
<v Speaker 1>look at it. Here in about forty five minutes, we'll

662
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 1>do that. Also, we will be chatting with the new

663
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:16.679
<v Speaker 1>state Auditor of North Carolina coming up at eight five.

664
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Mister bullocal join us, and yeah, I will talk about

665
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:25.440
<v Speaker 1>some stuff monster trucking cars, What the hell the auditor

666
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 1>does those kinds of things. So we'll do a little

667
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>get to know your thing there, maybe have him way

668
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 1>in on whether he knows who Steve Gutenberg is. Sorry,

669
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't get over this. And I remember yesterday because

670
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.079
<v Speaker 1>somebody just reminded me, like, didn't you yesterday do a

671
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:43.719
<v Speaker 1>whole show about how you refuse to learn who all

672
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the influences are. Yes, because it's not paramount to my business,

673
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 1>and arguably it's more funny when Ross and I don't

674
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:55.719
<v Speaker 1>know who it is. But yes, but if I'm going

675
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to do a if I am a person who is

676
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a out on the street, man on the street reporter,

677
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 1>right going doing the interviews, telling the hard stories, and

678
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm working in that media market where Hollywood is, I'm

679
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:16.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna do my homework because the chances of you interviewing

680
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity or never not zero, but a lot of

681
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a U see clips on YouTube where reporters ran,

682
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:27.239
<v Speaker 1>what do they just did this with? Who's the Euphoria chick,

683
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Zendaya or whatever, who's dating the Spider Man guy. They

684
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:33.239
<v Speaker 1>just had some in New York. They were just they

685
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:36.039
<v Speaker 1>were just clowning on a reporter up there because they

686
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.440
<v Speaker 1>was like her and her mother just walking down the street.

687
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:40.639
<v Speaker 1>It's clearly her. I don't know who her mother is,

688
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.320
<v Speaker 1>but uh, they're clearly walking. They're like, look at this

689
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.760
<v Speaker 1>young woman and her mom. How for a walk like that?

690
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Is Zendaya? Do you not know who that is? I

691
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:51.639
<v Speaker 1>don't even watch her and I know who that is. Honest,

692
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you're in the movie or whatever. But yeah, if you

693
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:57.239
<v Speaker 1>know't who Steve Gutenberg is. Now I feel old and

694
00:35:57.239 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 1>now I'm mad at you, not in a real mad way,

695
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:06.519
<v Speaker 1>but ah, police academy. Do you think you could do

696
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:11.079
<v Speaker 1>a police academy? Now? It had never happened, And you

697
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:14.000
<v Speaker 1>know what I think there is I think what Goudenberg's

698
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.679
<v Speaker 1>got to do, and and God bless them, he's out

699
00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:18.400
<v Speaker 1>there and he's, you know, doing what he's doing. I

700
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:21.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know Steve Gutenberg's politics. I'm excited about that. I

701
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.119
<v Speaker 1>don't care. He's like, leave your keys. I don't know

702
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:26.679
<v Speaker 1>if you saw they're literally running bulldozers down some of

703
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:30.199
<v Speaker 1>the roads like a like a snowplow blade on the front,

704
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:34.559
<v Speaker 1>just pitching cars off to the side those roads, especially

705
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.679
<v Speaker 1>when you get into those windy roads in around southern California.

706
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.199
<v Speaker 1>I've driven them for years. When I was down there,

707
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.239
<v Speaker 1>there's there's there's not big shoulders. It's like it's they're

708
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:47.079
<v Speaker 1>pretty tight. So if you got cars jammed out and

709
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:49.039
<v Speaker 1>they don't have keys and them, they're gonna get bulldozed.

710
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:50.840
<v Speaker 1>So he's out there doing his thing. I think he

711
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>got to bring in some of his fellow actors just randomly,

712
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and so today I want to see that guy randomly, uh,

713
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.639
<v Speaker 1>interviewing a six foot seven, giant black dude.

714
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it's you know, generational for us. But yeah,

715
00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Steve Guttenberger, like I said before, his voice is so familiar, right, I.

716
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Looked it up. He's been working since he had like

717
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>five years he didn't which is kind of interesting. But

718
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:18.199
<v Speaker 1>he's doing a ton of stuff still.

719
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.119
<v Speaker 2>And he's not like you know, his co his co

720
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:23.760
<v Speaker 2>workers that are co stars in that movie, like Bobcat

721
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:27.199
<v Speaker 2>gold With right, Like I'm sure like if Bob Kat

722
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:28.760
<v Speaker 2>was on the side of the road not doing his

723
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:33.480
<v Speaker 2>typical voice that he does, right, like you know that

724
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:36.320
<v Speaker 2>would be like, oh my god, I just but the

725
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:38.199
<v Speaker 2>problem is, like you said, this kid is so super

726
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.719
<v Speaker 2>young or whatever, the guy in the street probably no

727
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:43.360
<v Speaker 2>idea who he was, and the producers like that, you know,

728
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:46.159
<v Speaker 2>that's Steve Guttenberg, and he's like, oh, like I said,

729
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:47.800
<v Speaker 2>that's the way she'd been, Like you just name one

730
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 2>of my movies.

731
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Just name one, anyone you know who you know who

732
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:56.440
<v Speaker 1>got to get his uh when didn't Michael Winslow die though?

733
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 1>God dude, oh great, Greg, Now I'm starting this rumors?

734
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Would you look it up? Which I think? We who

735
00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:05.440
<v Speaker 1>do we kill one time? Tom Green or somebody? I

736
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.760
<v Speaker 1>can't remember who it was, but oh dude, we've killed

737
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:11.760
<v Speaker 1>so many people. Yeah, yeah, it's very sad. All right,

738
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:13.679
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna see it. My Winslow is the guy did

739
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the voices? Was he Jones? Right? Was his character in there? Right?

740
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.679
<v Speaker 1>So not only could could Winslow be doing an interview

741
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:22.920
<v Speaker 1>if he has like a he had a COVID mask on,

742
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he could make the reporter think the fire is coming

743
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:27.639
<v Speaker 1>at him. He is alive. He is sixty six. Oh

744
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:31.400
<v Speaker 1>thank goodness, I didn't I don't. There was no animosity there,

745
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:34.880
<v Speaker 1>no animosity. Good get him out here. You know how

746
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:37.559
<v Speaker 1>much fun Michael Winslow could have with that, dude. You

747
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.440
<v Speaker 1>think like the aliens are landing. He's like, oh, I

748
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 1>was just over my manch and the aliens are here.

749
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:45.119
<v Speaker 1>People were making the sound. I can't make this sound.

750
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 1>They could bring on hooks like man man, please speak up,

751
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:51.559
<v Speaker 1>trying to shoot him in his uh boys there or

752
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:53.360
<v Speaker 1>whatever her line was for the movie? Was she the

753
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:58.719
<v Speaker 1>one that thread where said that was finally screamed? Oh?

754
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:00.719
<v Speaker 1>So many options, dude.

755
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Those movies were so dirty when I was a kid,

756
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:04.599
<v Speaker 2>like I couldn't watch them. I could watch them maybe

757
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:06.480
<v Speaker 2>if they showed up on Remember like Fox would play

758
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.960
<v Speaker 2>movies on the weekends, right, but it was super TV

759
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:11.199
<v Speaker 2>edited like an hour and ten minutes longer, Like isn't

760
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:12.039
<v Speaker 2>this movie longer?

761
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah? Well, I mean think about the way in

762
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:20.519
<v Speaker 1>the Police Academy movies they vanquished their enemies was to

763
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:23.119
<v Speaker 1>trick them into going into a gay bar to get

764
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:28.559
<v Speaker 1>raped by bikers. When it worked these days, you get promoted,

765
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh you would, Yeah, you've got to be the fire chief.

766
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Looked like Val Kilmer there, Yeah, commitment to diversity here.

767
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember that was the whole, That was the that was

768
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:40.480
<v Speaker 1>like the premise of the threat.

769
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:43.960
<v Speaker 2>There, there's a lot of diversity. Like Gutenberg was in

770
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Short Circuit, which had one of the greatest uh Indian

771
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.360
<v Speaker 2>American actors of the generation. Right, you played the professor,

772
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:53.320
<v Speaker 2>the scientist guy. Remember that I cooked?

773
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.559
<v Speaker 1>How cooked do you think he was when all the

774
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:56.920
<v Speaker 1>me too come into Jesus?

775
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:57.079
<v Speaker 5>Right?

776
00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:59.440
<v Speaker 2>So, if you're not aware that guy back in the

777
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:02.079
<v Speaker 2>day was isn't actually an Indian America. He was a

778
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:05.800
<v Speaker 2>white dude. They just put paint on his face. And

779
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I remember learning this maybe it was probably a decade

780
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:10.239
<v Speaker 2>ago now being like, oh my cause as a kid,

781
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was like an actual Indian dude, like

782
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:14.880
<v Speaker 2>with the accent and doing like the the up poo

783
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.800
<v Speaker 2>type accent. And I was like, oh, it's definitely like

784
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:21.159
<v Speaker 2>a real Indian dude. They're like, no, it's not. It

785
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.320
<v Speaker 2>was like learning about Razor Ramone like Scott Hall, like

786
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:25.800
<v Speaker 2>that's not really a Cuban dude.

787
00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh. The actor's name is Fisher Stevens. I can never

788
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:32.119
<v Speaker 1>heard of his name was. And if you're still strugg

789
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:35.639
<v Speaker 1>you're like, dah, who is that so obviously short circuit.

790
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:39.639
<v Speaker 1>He was in Hackers, he was in Super Mario Brothers,

791
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I think too. Trying to think of one of the

792
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.119
<v Speaker 1>bigger things he's been in here as well.

793
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's definitely not Indian, He's not, and he's still working.

794
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.519
<v Speaker 2>He was on Blacklist forever. As soon as you see

795
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>this dude's face not in.

796
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Shoe polish, You're like, oh, I know that guy. He's

797
00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:58.199
<v Speaker 1>always kind of a bad dude.

798
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm a greasy listened and it was a different time, yeah,

799
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and they're just like, hey, we're gonna we're gonna have

800
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.840
<v Speaker 2>you throw a bunch of shoe polo Sean and your

801
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:11.679
<v Speaker 2>name is Javeri or whatever they went with, or Ben

802
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:13.079
<v Speaker 2>his first name was Ben.

803
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I remember watching an interview with that guy after

804
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:19.360
<v Speaker 1>like when all this stuff was going on, and it

805
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.239
<v Speaker 1>was basically his his apology video, and I'm like, oh,

806
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.599
<v Speaker 1>he's probably not gonna work again. And then like immediately

807
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:27.719
<v Speaker 1>everyone's like, all right, you're okay. He got the Jimmy

808
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:31.559
<v Speaker 1>Kimmel treatment. And I don't think it was political necessarily,

809
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.400
<v Speaker 1>you just got to remember Jimmy Kimmel. All of a sudden,

810
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.599
<v Speaker 1>they're like, oh, yeah, he did do blackface for six

811
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:41.320
<v Speaker 1>seasons pretending to be Karl Malone and woop be not

812
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:47.840
<v Speaker 1>will be oprah Uh. But we're fine with that. But yeah,

813
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:50.039
<v Speaker 1>to Ross's point, a lot of people don't know that

814
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that the Indian dude in there not Indian, which is

815
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:57.559
<v Speaker 1>ironic considering all the H one B stuff here recently.

816
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm over to work in the movie and where it

817
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:03.800
<v Speaker 1>was visas, right, That's right. That's why they had to

818
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:07.400
<v Speaker 1>implement the program in the late nineties too, because like, wow,

819
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:10.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't even have enough actors to play the Indian

820
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.719
<v Speaker 1>dude in short circuit back in nineteen eighty five or whatever.

821
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:20.280
<v Speaker 1>That was different times, man, different times. All right, let's

822
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:21.159
<v Speaker 1>see what did I mentioned?

823
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:21.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

824
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Did you guys know tomorrow's a holiday?

825
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:24.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

826
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:28.039
<v Speaker 1>I did not know this. I was unaware of this.

827
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:33.599
<v Speaker 1>But I will say I am exhausted. Ever since we

828
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:37.840
<v Speaker 1>got back from vacation, it has been one thing after another.

829
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Ross's equipment isn't working. Everyone hates everybody else. I you know,

830
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:51.480
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit wars are going on. The incredible pantomime Theater of

831
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:55.719
<v Speaker 1>January sixth commemorations had to sit through all that. It's

832
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.400
<v Speaker 1>been so much I'm so glad that tomorrow's a holiday.

833
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh you don't think it's a holiday, Well, let me

834
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:05.840
<v Speaker 1>run this by you. The US Postal Services announced they

835
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:12.000
<v Speaker 1>will close all locations and suspend regular mail delivery tomorrow.

836
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.880
<v Speaker 1>This is part of the Jimmy Carter National Day of

837
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Mourning bano. So if they're closed, can fifty people drive

838
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:30.199
<v Speaker 1>to the post office and sit in an endless line

839
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:32.639
<v Speaker 1>in their cars that goes all the way down about

840
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:39.679
<v Speaker 1>six blocks, waiting for nothing to commemorate. No, okay, all right,

841
00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:43.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Financial markets, including the New York Stock

842
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Exchange and the Nasdaq, will also be closed tomorrow, So

843
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. If the mail's not getting delivered and Jeff

844
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Bellinger doesn't have to do a report, we're going to

845
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to him figure out how that's gonna work. That

846
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:02.320
<v Speaker 1>tells me that that's a holiday. So that's a federal holiday.

847
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:04.639
<v Speaker 1>We have the day off. We should have the day off.

848
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I was just your streating a call there, and I

849
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:09.159
<v Speaker 1>was telling him, like the Ross, you have no idea. Ross,

850
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:11.519
<v Speaker 1>and I are just so exhausted. It's been so dude,

851
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:15.519
<v Speaker 1>everything's been breaking. Nothing works, and and as and and

852
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:17.280
<v Speaker 1>by the way, a lot of it's by design. Our

853
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>entire Raleigh studios, half of them are ripped up and gone. Literally.

854
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I had a conversation yesterday about some stuff that was

855
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:27.920
<v Speaker 1>stored in another room that I didn't realize that it's

856
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:31.000
<v Speaker 1>just gone. Now, it's just gone.

857
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:33.239
<v Speaker 2>We're in the that we had like our after show

858
00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:36.280
<v Speaker 2>meeting with Trevor. Yeah, and you know it's talking about

859
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:37.000
<v Speaker 2>how he keep.

860
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So I have. We have like quasi offices, and so

861
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I just use it for storage of old like rollover equipment.

862
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.079
<v Speaker 1>I didn't actually use it. I didn't realize that they

863
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.199
<v Speaker 1>tore the inside wall of that thing out.

864
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Did you know I sent you that video the other day?

865
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Did you did you know it was a video or

866
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:52.159
<v Speaker 2>did you think it was a photo? I thought it

867
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:53.800
<v Speaker 2>was a photo case you mentioned on the air. You

868
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:56.119
<v Speaker 2>were like that photo and I just I was like, whatever, No,

869
00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:59.360
<v Speaker 2>that's a video. It's like a minute. Oh yeah, everything

870
00:44:59.480 --> 00:44:59.719
<v Speaker 2>is gone.

871
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I got reason. I got no reason to go back

872
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:04.559
<v Speaker 1>in there because I assume everything stored. It's mostly company.

873
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.679
<v Speaker 2>My gold balloons were in there, dude, what's that My

874
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:12.320
<v Speaker 2>gold The ballooms were in there, that's where I store them.

875
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Gone. This is this is a concern you raised yesterday,

876
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:20.199
<v Speaker 1>although I didn't feel that management took your concerns seriously.

877
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:23.519
<v Speaker 1>If I could just say, I think I don't think

878
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:26.880
<v Speaker 1>they believed you. But what that would be where I

879
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:31.119
<v Speaker 1>would store gold to ballooons. I did an endorsement Eye

880
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Morning Show office that none of us use.

881
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I did the Gold endorsement a while back. They gave

882
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:39.800
<v Speaker 2>me a treasure chest full of golden blooms. Yeah they did,

883
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:41.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're gone now and I deserve them back.

884
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:43.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell this story to the day I die. Saw

885
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.199
<v Speaker 1>another radio guy I worked with at a gold endorsement.

886
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:48.880
<v Speaker 1>This is when radio guys started first doing them. And

887
00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the endorsement was he got actual gold right for his

888
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:56.360
<v Speaker 1>uh for his fee for doing it. And so they

889
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:58.280
<v Speaker 1>were going to do the because it was part of

890
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.519
<v Speaker 1>the service. I can't remember which the company as it was.

891
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker 1>And so it's like the end of the endorsement. So

892
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:06.159
<v Speaker 1>they're paying him his loot right and they're like, all right,

893
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:08.159
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna have a car. We're gonna have literally

894
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:11.880
<v Speaker 1>an armored car come to your house. So he had

895
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:13.920
<v Speaker 1>he had a big safe there. He's like, all right,

896
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.960
<v Speaker 1>delivered to my house and it's gonna be at this time,

897
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>but only his wife's home right ahead of it. So

898
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:22.519
<v Speaker 1>he gets done with the show and he is driving

899
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:26.039
<v Speaker 1>like a mad man to get home and to get

900
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:29.159
<v Speaker 1>there before the you know, the gold delivery comes. And

901
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:34.079
<v Speaker 1>he gets to his house, his wife has moved all

902
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the furniture in the house to the walls, so the

903
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:40.199
<v Speaker 1>living room is basically this big open and he's like,

904
00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:45.559
<v Speaker 1>what what are you doing? Who is happening here? He's like,

905
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:47.480
<v Speaker 1>for the gold, And he's like, do you think you're

906
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:50.079
<v Speaker 1>just coming in with a fork lifted a pallet? What

907
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:55.519
<v Speaker 1>do he It wasn't an insignificant amount of money because

908
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:58.400
<v Speaker 1>it was a big market he worked in. But also

909
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.199
<v Speaker 1>when you're getting into thousands of dollars worth of gold,

910
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:05.920
<v Speaker 1>they're not bringing a forklift. It comes in a little

911
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:10.320
<v Speaker 1>thing because gold's heavy, expensive and small. And she had

912
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:13.960
<v Speaker 1>she had moved furniture thinking that they were gonna come

913
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:17.119
<v Speaker 1>in and fill it up like Scrooge McDuck's vault or something.

914
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:23.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I just started laughing, So yeah, I don't. Yeah,

915
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:27.039
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what Ross, I guess is dealing with right now.

916
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, all right, seven twenty oh, I mentioned

917
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the Girl Scout cookie story. Let me tell you this,

918
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:34.639
<v Speaker 1>this sounds like a marketing scam more than anything. But

919
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:37.480
<v Speaker 1>oh you know what, if I'm going to do this,

920
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:43.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do. You know, we got all these these

921
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:48.280
<v Speaker 1>wonderful parody songs in our in our wonderful library her here,

922
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:52.960
<v Speaker 1>So if I'm gonna do the girl Scout story, then

923
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:57.119
<v Speaker 1>might as well get our theme song for it.

924
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:08.320
<v Speaker 4>They sell dozy dose and tag alongs, thin mint and

925
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:15.960
<v Speaker 4>like camped out at the entrances a supermarkets day in night.

926
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Avoiding them is hard.

927
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:26.239
<v Speaker 6>I can never seemed gared away, especially when David Accounting

928
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:35.159
<v Speaker 6>hits me up ten times a day. Hey, girl Scouts

929
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:37.039
<v Speaker 6>of Americans.

930
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:39.480
<v Speaker 4>I asked that you don't bother me.

931
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:43.960
<v Speaker 6>Half the cookies you sell I no longer like you

932
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:49.159
<v Speaker 6>must have changed the resup and mints taste like chapstick.

933
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Why I just grew with cookies that were one so great.

934
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:56.000
<v Speaker 4>And mango creams with nutrifusion.

935
00:48:56.039 --> 00:49:08.400
<v Speaker 1>What the hell is that? I'm that's so funny? Ross

936
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Field greeted about Buddy, who I was just talking about.

937
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:12.000
<v Speaker 1>The radio is listening to the show right now. He

938
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:16.840
<v Speaker 1>just just text it his wife furniture I just want

939
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you guys to know that that's true. You gotta make

940
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:22.159
<v Speaker 1>this stuff up. That's finny. If you do his wife too, you,

941
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:26.599
<v Speaker 1>that's that's super funny. She's so nice. But seriously, man,

942
00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:29.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, So the Girl Scouts have announced that two

943
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:35.719
<v Speaker 1>of their cookie orders will be retired. It's your last chance. Uh,

944
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:38.920
<v Speaker 1>two of the toast yay. I don't even know what

945
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that is. What is toast ye? Toast that's like a

946
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:48.519
<v Speaker 1>cocaine cookie. Hey, now that'd be toast ye Oh okay, yeah,

947
00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:51.360
<v Speaker 1>toast yay. I don't know that one, but you're gonna

948
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:53.239
<v Speaker 1>know this one. You're ready. Here's the other cookie that's

949
00:49:53.280 --> 00:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>going bye bye. S'mores? What that's a popular flavor, isn't it? S'mores?

950
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:05.480
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the old That's one of the ogs,

951
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:10.960
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. They're doing away with spores. We routinely reevaluate

952
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.199
<v Speaker 1>our cookie lineup, so we'll be discontinuing s'mores and Toastier's.

953
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:18.119
<v Speaker 1>And something new and delicious is on the horizon. I

954
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:20.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know, not if it's not neutral fruit crap. We'll

955
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:27.440
<v Speaker 1>be back thirty minutes from now. The new state auditor who,

956
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.599
<v Speaker 1>as far as I know has not monster trucked vehicles

957
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:33.880
<v Speaker 1>in a state vehicle yet. Dave Bolock will join us

958
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:36.119
<v Speaker 1>and we'll figure out what the auditor does. No, no, no,

959
00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:38.880
<v Speaker 1>there'd in alls. Well we will do that because I

960
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:44.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think a lot of people probably really know. I mean,

961
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you hear the word there and you're like, oh, that

962
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:48.039
<v Speaker 1>should be a watchdog individual, and it kind of is.

963
00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:51.320
<v Speaker 1>So we'll talk to Dave see what's up. But there

964
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:54.599
<v Speaker 1>is there's there's some hurricane discussion that needs to happen there.

965
00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:56.079
<v Speaker 1>So I'm glad we're going to be chatting with him.

966
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So we got that the Oh, let me put on

967
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:06.559
<v Speaker 1>notice some of our listeners. So at ten am and

968
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:10.840
<v Speaker 1>between ten am and eleven am this morning, if you

969
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:16.639
<v Speaker 1>happen to be I guess south of the triangle, the

970
00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Sharon Harris nuclear plan is not melting down. You are

971
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:23.360
<v Speaker 1>not about to get free superpowers. They're gonna be testing

972
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:27.719
<v Speaker 1>these sirens. They will be tested for five to thirty

973
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:30.239
<v Speaker 1>seconds between ten am and eleven am. I don't know

974
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:33.119
<v Speaker 1>if it'll just be once, twice, it'll be the whole time, whatever.

975
00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:36.800
<v Speaker 1>But you are not about to get super paid unless

976
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you are, which would be very unfortunate timing, right, They're like, ah,

977
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:45.119
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have this, which you know is kind of

978
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:50.400
<v Speaker 1>a gamble, kind of a gamble because if it at

979
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:52.440
<v Speaker 1>ten oh one, it's like now I'm gonna melt down

980
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:54.559
<v Speaker 1>now and you're hitting the sirens. Everyone's like, no, I

981
00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:56.440
<v Speaker 1>heard the guy on the radio saying this, and the

982
00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>TV said it, and everything's fine and before now you

983
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:05.119
<v Speaker 1>can fly or you know, you get horrible fast approaching

984
00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:08.599
<v Speaker 1>cancer very quickly, but you know, hope for the first one.

985
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:11.199
<v Speaker 1>But no, that's what the sirens are probably gonna be.

986
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And I will still expect we'll get flooded with emails,

987
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:19.519
<v Speaker 1>but that's what they're saying. All right, So now you're onnoticed.

988
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:23.400
<v Speaker 1>But that's okay. It's sit at home with your new

989
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:29.920
<v Speaker 1>superpowers and uh, listen to Ross and I talk about

990
00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:33.960
<v Speaker 1>interdimensional bigfoots and stuff, which is how we started the show. Today.

991
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.199
<v Speaker 1>We flip over to something real quick. Oh wait, hold on,

992
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I got to mention something got a little housekeeping here?

993
00:52:40.519 --> 00:52:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Where did I put this from yesterday? Do do do

994
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:43.360
<v Speaker 1>do do?

995
00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:43.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

996
00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here we go, all right, because we don't get

997
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:48.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of love over on the talk side of things,

998
00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:50.800
<v Speaker 1>it's always honever you know this behind this. They're obsessed

999
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.199
<v Speaker 1>with music at this company, probably because the majority of

1000
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:57.079
<v Speaker 1>their stations are music. But yeah, in the world of talk,

1001
00:52:57.159 --> 00:52:59.039
<v Speaker 1>you got us, you got the podcast stuff. You got

1002
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:01.679
<v Speaker 1>our podcast, which is pretty amazing. So even if you

1003
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:03.679
<v Speaker 1>listen to the morning show, you should listen to the

1004
00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:08.599
<v Speaker 1>podcast in case you missed something. But also we do

1005
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:10.639
<v Speaker 1>the voting, like the end of the year stuff with

1006
00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:14.960
<v Speaker 1>all that. So they put together podcast awards, which is

1007
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:17.519
<v Speaker 1>something that this company does, and so I would encourage

1008
00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you if you're down with the podcast, you're down with

1009
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.760
<v Speaker 1>what we do and spoken word and all of that,

1010
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:28.400
<v Speaker 1>that you go online and vote. It's Iheartpodcast Awards dot

1011
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:30.559
<v Speaker 1>com and you can vote for podcasts or and other

1012
00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:32.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff and you can write us in on stuff where

1013
00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:35.239
<v Speaker 1>you can. But for the main ones, you probably picked

1014
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:38.159
<v Speaker 1>from the list there. It's not like when Ross was

1015
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:41.800
<v Speaker 1>almost soil and water supervisor in Guildford County and instead

1016
00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:45.440
<v Speaker 1>they elected somebody who was a sex offender or something.

1017
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:47.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what was going on over there.

1018
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:51.519
<v Speaker 1>That's what happens when you don't vote, So check that

1019
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.840
<v Speaker 1>out there you go. Housekeeping done, But anything that keeps

1020
00:53:55.840 --> 00:54:00.920
<v Speaker 1>spoken word top of mind. I am I'm happy about

1021
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:03.679
<v Speaker 1>you know why, because not all music is good. Like,

1022
00:54:03.920 --> 00:54:05.559
<v Speaker 1>let me give you an example. Let's say you're a

1023
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:09.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty year CIA top level analyst, one of these people

1024
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:12.480
<v Speaker 1>who likely was you know, sitting around going yeah, we

1025
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:15.119
<v Speaker 1>should all sign this thing saying that the laptop's not

1026
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:18.519
<v Speaker 1>real because we're partisan hacks. So imagine you're one of

1027
00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:21.840
<v Speaker 1>those people and somebody tells you you can sing, and

1028
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:25.840
<v Speaker 1>now you're this lunatic woman, this former CIA analyst who's

1029
00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:30.559
<v Speaker 1>putting out anti Trump music videos that are comically best.

1030
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:36.039
<v Speaker 6>See you're driving roundtown and motorcade and I'm like, fuck.

1031
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:41.599
<v Speaker 1>You, forky okay, democracy is just a game to play,

1032
00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:45.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, fuck you and your woldown crew. If

1033
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:49.440
<v Speaker 1>there were any justice could not be a monster. By

1034
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, it's like it's like ms paint and the

1035
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:56.199
<v Speaker 1>very first editing software that Apple had on their iOS

1036
00:54:56.280 --> 00:55:00.639
<v Speaker 1>is what she used to make this. It's bad green screens,

1037
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:02.280
<v Speaker 1>so it wrots. You have a green screen. How does

1038
00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:04.679
<v Speaker 1>her green screen look so bad and yours looks fine?

1039
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:07.760
<v Speaker 1>With you with minimal effort, I'm sure this isn't hard

1040
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to give me.

1041
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:10.239
<v Speaker 2>Mean, you would expect better, right from the people that

1042
00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:12.039
<v Speaker 2>apparently are supposed to be. Like in that room with

1043
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:14.280
<v Speaker 2>all the computers looking for Jason Bourne.

1044
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:16.280
<v Speaker 1>The people are like, Oh, we're gonna film the moon landing,

1045
00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:22.280
<v Speaker 1>right what. I don't believe you're really dancing in front

1046
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:24.400
<v Speaker 1>of Trump there with a fork. I don't believe it.

1047
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's true. You know what I shouldn't say.

1048
00:55:26.679 --> 00:55:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any range? Ma'am? Do you got any

1049
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:30.400
<v Speaker 1>range on that voice?

1050
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:34.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm beat in jail and though there's pain in my chest,

1051
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:36.599
<v Speaker 4>don't give it a rest.

1052
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:42.719
<v Speaker 1>We can forget. You're not talking trash. If I call

1053
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you fascist, come on and unlike you know.

1054
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:46.400
<v Speaker 6>What that means.

1055
00:55:46.519 --> 00:55:48.480
<v Speaker 1>You go up here in a moment, you went to

1056
00:55:48.599 --> 00:55:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the dumpstera to give you a cabinet. Also is spineless

1057
00:55:53.400 --> 00:56:02.119
<v Speaker 1>clouds and freaks ross dah. I don't know that I

1058
00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:08.400
<v Speaker 1>could go on. Oh, just overloaded my headphones with whoever

1059
00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:12.639
<v Speaker 1>that was. I think I dowb my I bleed, My

1060
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:15.440
<v Speaker 1>eyes are bleeding. How did that happen?

1061
00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:18.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

1062
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm glad you're not in there literally in

1063
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:24.239
<v Speaker 1>charge of I don't know our security and stuff anymore.

1064
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:31.320
<v Speaker 1>You absolute lunatic. Remember what did Hillary get what ninety

1065
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Even Kamala didn't even get as much, but Hillary got

1066
00:56:33.440 --> 00:56:36.039
<v Speaker 1>like what ninety six and a half percent in the district.

1067
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:38.079
<v Speaker 1>It's not that Trump got all the rest of it.

1068
00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I went to green and other stuff. You're an absolute lunatic, man.

1069
00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're free to go ahead and put out

1070
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:47.119
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want, but I'm gonna judge you on it.

1071
00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:50.960
<v Speaker 1>And our parody songs are elite compared to you know

1072
00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:53.599
<v Speaker 1>what you got going the girls Scout thing we just did.

1073
00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Are you freaking kidding me? It's amazing. I can play

1074
00:56:57.039 --> 00:56:58.519
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing again. But listen to the quality of

1075
00:56:58.599 --> 00:56:59.320
<v Speaker 1>this voice.

1076
00:57:01.559 --> 00:57:07.199
<v Speaker 4>They still dozing thin men sent light.

1077
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:14.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go back to you. Oh my god,

1078
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:21.000
<v Speaker 1>just stop, Arah, that's why the equipment's broke. Oh, that's

1079
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:22.719
<v Speaker 1>that's what it is. Was this the first cut you

1080
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:24.960
<v Speaker 1>dubbed in this morning? That's what broke all the equipment?

1081
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Because that would make sense. I mean, yeah, it's possible.

1082
00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:31.559
<v Speaker 1>Or the audio equipment is actively rejecting the sound of

1083
00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:32.559
<v Speaker 1>this woman's voice.

1084
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Could this be like the sound torture that we've heard

1085
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:36.199
<v Speaker 2>they use at Guano.

1086
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:39.519
<v Speaker 1>It could be Oh, I see where you're going. With this,

1087
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Ross is very excited about something. You want to hear

1088
00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:50.840
<v Speaker 1>what it is? You want hear? What you hear what

1089
00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:52.760
<v Speaker 1>he's so excited? Let me let me ask you maybe

1090
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:55.599
<v Speaker 1>we can get raised agic First, Ross is very excited

1091
00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:59.800
<v Speaker 1>about something because a thing that we talked about here

1092
00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on the show for a lot longer than I would

1093
00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:05.440
<v Speaker 1>expect that we talked about on the show, and then

1094
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:07.360
<v Speaker 1>it became a recurring thing that came to come up

1095
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:13.639
<v Speaker 1>on every show might be reality, and might have, according

1096
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to a report here from The Blaze, might have been,

1097
00:58:18.159 --> 00:58:20.320
<v Speaker 1>although it sounds like it was really an admission for

1098
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Mark Milly, who is a lunatic, probably loved that last

1099
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:31.119
<v Speaker 1>song I just played you specifically, Milly told people might

1100
00:58:31.159 --> 00:58:36.840
<v Speaker 1>have been utilized in twenty twenty not for January sixth stuff,

1101
00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:39.800
<v Speaker 1>but rather for or twenty twenty three. I should say,

1102
00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:45.159
<v Speaker 1>not for January sixth stuff, per se, but June twenty

1103
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:51.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty the rioters at Lafayette Park in DC. And it's

1104
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:53.679
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a doozy man. So we'll get to

1105
00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:56.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to that, or it should say I said

1106
00:58:56.440 --> 00:58:58.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. It was used in twenty twenty and the

1107
00:58:58.400 --> 00:58:59.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one is the other thing I was referring to.

1108
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But we have speculated and it looks like it may

1109
00:59:06.840 --> 00:59:08.880
<v Speaker 1>be the case. So we'll get into that here in

1110
00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a moment. All right, we got our boy. We could

1111
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to go mister stagic for the one. No oh no,

1112
00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Ray wait wait? Do you think her voice killed the

1113
00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:19.679
<v Speaker 1>comrades that we connect to Ray with? That might be

1114
00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a possibility. Directed energy weapons people directed energy weapons, That's

1115
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:29.639
<v Speaker 1>what I'm talking about, and specifically, well I'll just say

1116
00:59:29.679 --> 00:59:31.559
<v Speaker 1>this before I tell you what they do that may

1117
00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:34.960
<v Speaker 1>have been utilized according to Millie. According to Ah who

1118
00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:38.880
<v Speaker 1>is he talking to this in twenty October of twenty

1119
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:41.519
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, he said, we use directed energy weapons of

1120
00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Lafayette Park, if you remember, that's what Trump holding the

1121
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Bible St. John Saint John's the church there in Lafayette. Well,

1122
00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the church or they tried to arsenate and all that insanity,

1123
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and eventually they had to get contractors out there to

1124
00:59:55.039 --> 00:59:57.880
<v Speaker 1>construct another fence. And they tried to make that a

1125
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Trump scandal where he's he like sick his dogs and

1126
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:04.119
<v Speaker 1>they realize that he didn't. Well, now they're coming back

1127
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>for another bite at the apple. So we'll get into

1128
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:07.719
<v Speaker 1>that here in a moment, but first race age it

1129
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:13.079
<v Speaker 1>from the weather channel standing by, alrighty Rue, what's going on, sir?

1130
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:16.920
<v Speaker 7>I don't know did we create a ruckus yet?

1131
01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:23.039
<v Speaker 1>I pre sold your ruckus this morning, and right at

1132
01:00:23.039 --> 01:00:25.199
<v Speaker 1>the top of the hour at seven oh five, I'm like, uh,

1133
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:28.519
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk to Ray from now and he will ruckus

1134
01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>the heck out of you.

1135
01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:33.199
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, And it does look like light accumulations of

1136
01:00:33.239 --> 01:00:36.440
<v Speaker 7>snow and ice, especially east of the Triad. As you

1137
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:39.159
<v Speaker 7>get into the mountains where there are already winter storm watches,

1138
01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:43.119
<v Speaker 7>a better opportunity for maybe a three to six in snowfall,

1139
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:47.000
<v Speaker 7>So I think tryad maybe about one to three of

1140
01:00:47.079 --> 01:00:50.039
<v Speaker 7>snow and ice. You get near the triangle, it's or

1141
01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:52.320
<v Speaker 7>less of snow and ice accumulating. And the good news

1142
01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:54.880
<v Speaker 7>is too it most of it comes at night Friday,

1143
01:00:55.360 --> 01:00:58.480
<v Speaker 7>unless you're an overnight worker. The bigger problems are going

1144
01:00:58.559 --> 01:01:01.559
<v Speaker 7>to be Friday night's Saturday morning with the snow and

1145
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:04.400
<v Speaker 7>ice and even some rain mixing in, so lead ups

1146
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:06.400
<v Speaker 7>kind of now, right, you've got a couple of days

1147
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:09.440
<v Speaker 7>here to prep teens and low twenties this morning, so

1148
01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:12.519
<v Speaker 7>sitting the kind of stage for our winter weather. As

1149
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:15.400
<v Speaker 7>a cold there is in place upper thirties near forty today,

1150
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:17.800
<v Speaker 7>same thing tomorrow. A little gusty breez will add a

1151
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:19.360
<v Speaker 7>little bite to the air. The lows are still going

1152
01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:21.199
<v Speaker 7>to be in the upper teens to near twenty. But

1153
01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:23.079
<v Speaker 7>I think clouds will thick it up Friday and from

1154
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:26.039
<v Speaker 7>west southwest to north northeast, coming through the mountains and

1155
01:01:26.079 --> 01:01:29.280
<v Speaker 7>the Triad late Friday, probably more like Friday night, will

1156
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:31.559
<v Speaker 7>start to see some snow and sleep, freezing rain come

1157
01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:35.039
<v Speaker 7>in more mixing towards the Triangle, and then rain snow

1158
01:01:35.079 --> 01:01:37.239
<v Speaker 7>mixed depending on where you are, does end Saturday. So

1159
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:40.519
<v Speaker 7>that's the window Friday night Saturday morning with anywhere from

1160
01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:42.960
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of a trace of snow and ice

1161
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:44.960
<v Speaker 7>the further east you go to maybe one of three

1162
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:47.320
<v Speaker 7>inches of snow and ice, and the higher totals three

1163
01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:50.599
<v Speaker 7>to six inches of snow possible we could say, from

1164
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:54.480
<v Speaker 7>about Ashville and into the higher peaks into some of

1165
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:57.480
<v Speaker 7>the mountains. So I still think an impactful event for some,

1166
01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:00.920
<v Speaker 7>maybe some not so much, but looks right now it

1167
01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:03.079
<v Speaker 7>does look like we will have at least some impacts

1168
01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:04.039
<v Speaker 7>on the Stone ice case.

1169
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Uh blockbuster storm.

1170
01:02:06.599 --> 01:02:08.599
<v Speaker 7>It doesn't look like it right now, but there'll be

1171
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:10.159
<v Speaker 7>changes there probably will.

1172
01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:10.280
<v Speaker 3>But.

1173
01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:18.039
<v Speaker 1>We already did it. Yeah, we did. Hold on a.

1174
01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:22.719
<v Speaker 7>Second, let me Cora winter storm Cora r A.

1175
01:02:23.239 --> 01:02:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do it. I didn't do it. Well you did,

1176
01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>because the those just show everyone the weather naming of

1177
01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>winter storms is a weather channel thing. It is it is,

1178
01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:37.159
<v Speaker 1>and I mean, love it or hate it, it is

1179
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>what it is.

1180
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:39.360
<v Speaker 7>And I think they really did it more for a

1181
01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:42.840
<v Speaker 7>social thing, so you have something to grasp bout there.

1182
01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I know I still have to make fun

1183
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>of it though it's my absolutely well me too, and

1184
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>I work here. Yeah sometimes yeah, Hey, quick question, what

1185
01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>are your thoughts on girls scott cookies?

1186
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:55.719
<v Speaker 7>As long as they didn't get rid of the tagalongs,

1187
01:02:55.760 --> 01:02:56.320
<v Speaker 7>I'm fine.

1188
01:02:56.559 --> 01:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you saw they get rid of s'mores, right, yep,

1189
01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>I did, And don't tag along. I don't even know

1190
01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>what those are, so I don't either.

1191
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.440
<v Speaker 7>Don't change a good thing, don't add it to it,

1192
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:08.320
<v Speaker 7>no new flavor, I mean, just just keep it the

1193
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:08.760
<v Speaker 7>way it is.

1194
01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>You don't have the nutra to crab something with nutra

1195
01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>fruit or whatever. Not interested? Oh man, that is very

1196
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>very angry. So peanut butter patties, tag alongs, Yep.

1197
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:23.599
<v Speaker 7>Yep, Carl Delicious Mint or the mints too. Yeah, give

1198
01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:25.679
<v Speaker 7>me like the half a dozen boxes or so of

1199
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:28.079
<v Speaker 7>those and about ten minutes in a glass of milk

1200
01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:28.719
<v Speaker 7>and we're fine.

1201
01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well good, okay, Well I think it's a

1202
01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>marketing stunt. It's like one of those stories, like going

1203
01:03:33.920 --> 01:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>out of business forever kind of thing. So we'll see,

1204
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh you didn't you didn't want to get rid of smores.

1205
01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:41.199
<v Speaker 1>We'll bring them back after we just force you to

1206
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:45.239
<v Speaker 1>buy three times as much, right, genius? All right, thank you, sir,

1207
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. Seven forty eight. Will we come back? Uh?

1208
01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Those directed energy weapons? That's interesting. What's up with that?

1209
01:03:51.480 --> 01:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll find out next. Maybe you don't remember why it's

1210
01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.159
<v Speaker 1>I remember this. I remember this story for a long time.

1211
01:03:57.239 --> 01:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You know why, because it was one of those moments

1212
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>when I really appreciated that I had management who got it.

1213
01:04:06.280 --> 01:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>It's nice. It's nice, right if you ever worked in

1214
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:10.639
<v Speaker 1>a job or the management is not somebody who you

1215
01:04:10.639 --> 01:04:13.119
<v Speaker 1>feel you can go talk to, or they're just unyielding

1216
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>on stuff. And I don't mean the little stuff, but

1217
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean stuff. It's kind of principled. You know, I

1218
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>left a radio job one time. I left a radio

1219
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>job prior to working for the company I work for now.

1220
01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I chose to make the transition, doing large part to

1221
01:04:27.960 --> 01:04:30.079
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I didn't feel management had our back

1222
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>on anything. It was a private ownership group. As a

1223
01:04:33.239 --> 01:04:35.239
<v Speaker 1>husband and a wife, and I just didn't give a crap,

1224
01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and so I appreciated. There was a circumstance where if

1225
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't know Peter Yarrow is I'm gonna fill it

1226
01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>in Peter Yarrow, Peter, Paul and Mary right where Yeah,

1227
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Yarrow continued to tour and we were we were working

1228
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>with one of the theaters that hosted Yarrow, and I

1229
01:04:56.760 --> 01:04:59.599
<v Speaker 1>would do I sometimes I do interviews with the different

1230
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>people came through if they were of decent size. And

1231
01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>there was a request that I interviewed Yarrow, and I'm like, no,

1232
01:05:05.719 --> 01:05:08.519
<v Speaker 1>it's not a chance I'm gona interview that guy. And

1233
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>if you don't remember, and I noticed they left it

1234
01:05:10.679 --> 01:05:13.679
<v Speaker 1>out of almost every story I've seen. So Peter Yarrow,

1235
01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>who died at eighty six the other day, and it's

1236
01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>interesting that he died adjacent to Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Yarrow

1237
01:05:23.719 --> 01:05:27.119
<v Speaker 1>or Peter Yarrow, excuse me, was convicted of in decent

1238
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>liberties with a fourteen year old. Basically, he had a

1239
01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>fourteen year old and his seventeen year old come over

1240
01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>his hotel room, answered the door naked, insanity ensued. It's

1241
01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>unclear how much. And he caught that charge, but he

1242
01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>was pardoned by Jimmy Carter by his last day in office.

1243
01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So Jimmy Carter pardoned the child molesting charge or the

1244
01:05:53.079 --> 01:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>indecent liberties with the minor charge of Peter Yarrow. So

1245
01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:58.679
<v Speaker 1>forgive me. I don't want to interview and the management,

1246
01:05:58.679 --> 01:06:00.559
<v Speaker 1>I guess and remember and I just mentioned it to

1247
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:02.079
<v Speaker 1>our manager at the time. He's like, yeah, I don't

1248
01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:06.679
<v Speaker 1>interview him, thank you. So yeah, it's a little context

1249
01:06:06.679 --> 01:06:10.119
<v Speaker 1>to that, all right, real quick on this. So Milly

1250
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>indicated that a directed energy weapon was used. This is

1251
01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>more of that sound stuff, that weird stuff, but in

1252
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.519
<v Speaker 1>this case, they were using it on protesters who were

1253
01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:22.199
<v Speaker 1>trying to burn the church while they were constructing an

1254
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>additional fence outside of the White House. When they took

1255
01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>over Lafayette Park. It was BLM and Antifa and all

1256
01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>of that. And Millie says they may have used that

1257
01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:34.639
<v Speaker 1>the energy weapons described as something that would cause pain

1258
01:06:34.800 --> 01:06:40.519
<v Speaker 1>in hearing, as well as the potential how do I

1259
01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>say this, the potential for it to cause you to

1260
01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>go to the bathroom on yourself. Right, they invented my

1261
01:06:49.679 --> 01:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>poop lazer? Okay, kind of, but I don't know if

1262
01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I believe that it's real. And here's why. If there

1263
01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:00.480
<v Speaker 1>is a functioning poop lazer, the government has Biden have

1264
01:07:00.559 --> 01:07:03.159
<v Speaker 1>been using this thing, right, because there's not a zero

1265
01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>percent chance that he poops himself when he's talking to

1266
01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the Pope or whatever. So you got to kind of

1267
01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:10.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe have somebody stand around with this thing so you

1268
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:13.159
<v Speaker 1>can pre poop the room. Glad to have you a

1269
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>long new year, new you, new laws, new lawmakers, a

1270
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:22.599
<v Speaker 1>lot of old lawmakers, some very old using walkers around capitol.

1271
01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>But it's important you understand everybody who, frankly as in

1272
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:29.519
<v Speaker 1>a position to ruin or make your life better. So

1273
01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>with that in mind, we're gonna chat with the one

1274
01:07:33.400 --> 01:07:36.559
<v Speaker 1>of the newest politicians in your life. It's Stave Bullock,

1275
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:40.119
<v Speaker 1>who is the new state auditor here in North Carolina.

1276
01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:43.559
<v Speaker 1>How you doing this morning, sir, Hey.

1277
01:07:43.519 --> 01:07:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Casey, I'm doing great. I hope you're doing well.

1278
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I am a couple of years. All right, One, I

1279

<v Speaker 3>Us stick behind the wheel of a state vehicle? And

1282
01:07:55.840 --> 01:08:01.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm totally suck okay, chat no poople though in the

1283
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:02.840
<v Speaker 3>in the auditor's office.

1284
01:08:03.199 --> 01:08:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Tell us you couldn't tell us if you did have that?

1285
01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:10.039
<v Speaker 1>So good point. Yeah, all right, So what what the

1286
01:08:10.079 --> 01:08:14.039
<v Speaker 1>hell do you do? That's a good question you personally

1287
01:08:14.199 --> 01:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>with the office. So let's let's go ahead, get into that.

1288
01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? Yeah?

1289
01:08:18.680 --> 01:08:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Look, you know, for years, I would say even decades,

1290
01:08:23.239 --> 01:08:27.239
<v Speaker 3>the State Auditor's Office has been sort of an office

1291
01:08:27.439 --> 01:08:30.199
<v Speaker 3>agency over in state government, and people just haven't no

1292
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:33.279
<v Speaker 3>clue what they do. Every now and then, one of

1293
01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:38.239
<v Speaker 3>the former elected state auditor, Beth Wood, would shoot out

1294
01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:41.439
<v Speaker 3>an audit of a municipality where a city council was

1295
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:44.960
<v Speaker 3>misappropriating money, something along those lines, and you would hear

1296
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:48.359
<v Speaker 3>about the State Auditor's office Other than that, I don't

1297
01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:51.239
<v Speaker 3>know if there was a lot heard about it. Of course,

1298
01:08:51.239 --> 01:08:52.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking to change that. Well.

1299
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I kind of liked in the sense that I don't

1300
01:08:55.800 --> 01:08:59.079
<v Speaker 1>think that it was as politicized as most offices. Unfortunately,

1301
01:08:59.119 --> 01:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be size because you are who you are, sir,

1302
01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:06.079
<v Speaker 1>and you're you're not of the approved vintage there. And

1303
01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:09.199
<v Speaker 1>obviously we've had some changes with election laws, which we'll

1304
01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:12.439
<v Speaker 1>get to. So but I like when I don't hear

1305
01:09:12.600 --> 01:09:14.359
<v Speaker 1>no offense to the work you guys put in. But

1306
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I like when I don't hear a lot from you folks.

1307
01:09:17.159 --> 01:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean.

1308
01:09:17.720 --> 01:09:20.239
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I mean that's a good thing. I mean

1309
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:23.680
<v Speaker 3>to an extent. Look, I'm when you go into the office,

1310
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:26.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean clearly, as the state order you've got to

1311
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:29.279
<v Speaker 3>you gotta take it. And I've had the opportunity now

1312
01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:31.680
<v Speaker 3>been on the job for less than a week. But

1313
01:09:31.760 --> 01:09:34.319
<v Speaker 3>we don't talk politics in the in the office. What

1314
01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:38.720
<v Speaker 3>we talk about is accountability of government and putting together

1315
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:41.399
<v Speaker 3>all the plans to make sure that tax dollars are

1316
01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:45.760
<v Speaker 3>spent the way the legislature appropriates those dollars and that

1317
01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:50.479
<v Speaker 3>there's a little traub or no fraud hopefully, and certainly

1318
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:54.479
<v Speaker 3>we want to cut waste. I really think though case

1319
01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:57.479
<v Speaker 3>he just to be a little bit contrarian with you.

1320
01:09:57.640 --> 01:10:02.119
<v Speaker 3>I think it's important for the public to hear about

1321
01:10:02.199 --> 01:10:05.159
<v Speaker 3>the audits that the auditor's office does, because I really

1322
01:10:05.239 --> 01:10:08.439
<v Speaker 3>think we've got an opportunity here. I think President Trumps

1323
01:10:08.479 --> 01:10:11.640
<v Speaker 3>also served out up to me on the state level

1324
01:10:12.039 --> 01:10:16.520
<v Speaker 3>with his efforts on government efficiency, for us to sort

1325
01:10:16.520 --> 01:10:19.960
<v Speaker 3>of take that baton and work in that arena in

1326
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:21.399
<v Speaker 3>the state of North Carolina.

1327
01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, no, please don't misunderstand me. I think we agree.

1328
01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>The reason I don't want to hear a lot from

1329
01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:30.399
<v Speaker 1>you is because I would love it if every municipality

1330
01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:33.359
<v Speaker 1>out there, from state down to the you know, the

1331
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:36.279
<v Speaker 1>dog catcher's office in which city you live in, is

1332
01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>doing things correctly. Then we don't hit to do here,

1333
01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Like, I want that to

1334
01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:45.399
<v Speaker 1>be efficient. What's the biggest, biggest red flag that you

1335
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:47.279
<v Speaker 1>saw when you walked in You want to name names.

1336
01:10:47.319 --> 01:10:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Is there a municipality or a portion of localized government

1337
01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in North Carolina that you're really concerned about?

1338
01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:56.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, a couple of things. One, I do agree with

1339
01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:58.680
<v Speaker 3>you one hundred percent. You and I have the same

1340
01:10:58.760 --> 01:11:01.600
<v Speaker 3>thought process on that. But I do think there's an

1341
01:11:01.640 --> 01:11:05.960
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to to highlight when municipalities and when state government

1342
01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:08.760
<v Speaker 3>is doing things right and so I hope to be

1343
01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:12.640
<v Speaker 3>able to do that as well. We've just now gotten

1344
01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:16.079
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity and get a look under the hood. I mean,

1345
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:19.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, first thing we did day one, the governor

1346
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:27.560
<v Speaker 3>put out emergency order emergency executive orders to reform his

1347
01:11:27.800 --> 01:11:33.600
<v Speaker 3>hurricane relief efforts out west form a new agency. And

1348
01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:36.239
<v Speaker 3>so I put him on notice, and I don't think

1349
01:11:36.279 --> 01:11:38.439
<v Speaker 3>it's inappropriate to do so that we're going to watch

1350
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:39.399
<v Speaker 3>every dollar.

1351
01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:44.039
<v Speaker 1>And so as you wanted after what happened with the

1352
01:11:44.039 --> 01:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>ousting of the woman who was running the hurricane relief

1353
01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>from the coastal stuff the years down the road, it

1354
01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>wasn't doing what they're doing. This doesn't have to be political.

1355
01:11:52.119 --> 01:11:54.199
<v Speaker 1>This has to be people doing the job they're supposed

1356
01:11:54.239 --> 01:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to do right.

1357
01:11:55.680 --> 01:12:00.199
<v Speaker 3>And to his credit, he's he's, you know, working toge other.

1358
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.399
<v Speaker 3>We're collaborating on it. I put a team together. It's

1359
01:12:03.439 --> 01:12:07.640
<v Speaker 3>a sign now to do that. The legislature really has

1360
01:12:07.800 --> 01:12:11.479
<v Speaker 3>not only asked, but it's sort of tasked the Auditor's

1361
01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:14.680
<v Speaker 3>office with not only auditing these funds but tracking them.

1362
01:12:14.760 --> 01:12:17.640
<v Speaker 3>We don't need another train wreck like we had at

1363
01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:20.680
<v Speaker 3>the Joint Oversight Committee, where you have the head of

1364
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:24.760
<v Speaker 3>the North Carolina Organization of Relief and Recovery come in

1365
01:12:24.840 --> 01:12:27.520
<v Speaker 3>and say, through thirty five million, we don't know where

1366
01:12:27.520 --> 01:12:29.840
<v Speaker 3>it is. And wow, we need another two hundred and

1367
01:12:29.880 --> 01:12:32.359
<v Speaker 3>twenty million from the state to finish what the what

1368
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:36.279
<v Speaker 3>what we've got going on because we misspent the money

1369
01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:38.560
<v Speaker 3>that we were initially given. We don't need another train

1370
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:42.039
<v Speaker 3>wreck like that. And so you know, I've taken on

1371
01:12:42.159 --> 01:12:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the responsibility of tracking those dollars and I think it's

1372
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:46.720
<v Speaker 3>not inappropriate. I think it's going to be a good

1373
01:12:46.720 --> 01:12:47.359
<v Speaker 3>thing for the state.

1374
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, or what was you know with the dotfi ASKO

1375
01:12:50.800 --> 01:12:53.439
<v Speaker 1>from a couple of years ago, like oh yeah, yeah,

1376
01:12:53.479 --> 01:12:55.439
<v Speaker 1>we're out of money somehow, and you know what that's

1377
01:12:55.520 --> 01:12:57.479
<v Speaker 1>doning from? This is this is where I really wanted

1378
01:12:57.479 --> 01:13:01.119
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you. It's sure like people will hear.

1379
01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>We'en give you an example. This isn't a state example,

1380
01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:05.399
<v Speaker 1>but you'll you'll get it and people will get it.

1381
01:13:05.399 --> 01:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I talked about on the air

1382
01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is when they when they put that giant thing that

1383
01:13:09.960 --> 01:13:13.159
<v Speaker 1>tanked our economy together, the that Biden wanted with the

1384
01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:18.279
<v Speaker 1>spending and that project for everythingture Bill. Yeah, well, and

1385
01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, ports were a big issue. We were coming

1386
01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>out of COVID stuff. The supply chain was crazy. I

1387
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:28.119
<v Speaker 1>remember traveling at that time, flying over the Panama Canal

1388
01:13:28.279 --> 01:13:32.399
<v Speaker 1>and seeing as far as the eye could see ships

1389
01:13:32.680 --> 01:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>who were just waiting to traverse the Panama Canal. And

1390
01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>then Los Angeles was having it. I landed in Miami

1391
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>one time, and you fly out over the ocean there,

1392
01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:42.439
<v Speaker 1>and there were ships waiting to go in the port there,

1393
01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:45.399
<v Speaker 1>and and they would say we put six hundred million

1394
01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:48.479
<v Speaker 1>in here for port improvements. But when you read it,

1395
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you realized that like five hundred million of it could

1396
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:55.319
<v Speaker 1>only go to green project. So buying electric vehicles, you

1397
01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:59.279
<v Speaker 1>couldn't build new unloading facility, You couldn't do any of

1398
01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. So or when dot dollars that people think

1399
01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>their tax dollars are going for roads that end up

1400
01:14:05.640 --> 01:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>making you know, three different bike lanes or something. They

1401
01:14:09.000 --> 01:14:12.039
<v Speaker 1>don't feel that people are shooting straight with them, even

1402
01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:15.680
<v Speaker 1>though it may not be a technical misappropriation of dollars.

1403
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I'm saying? Because legally you know

1404
01:14:17.880 --> 01:14:21.119
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying, So like, how is your It sounds

1405
01:14:21.159 --> 01:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like you may I don't want to put words in

1406
01:14:22.840 --> 01:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>your mouth. I don't have a taste for that. Most

1407
01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>people don't. How can the state auditor look at things

1408
01:14:28.600 --> 01:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>where people are playing fast and loose with the definition

1409
01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:33.079
<v Speaker 1>of directed spending?

1410
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that's a good question. That's where it comes

1411
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:39.880
<v Speaker 3>down to performance and efficiency audits one of the things.

1412
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:43.880
<v Speaker 3>And we'll go into DOT, but I'll circle back as

1413
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:46.439
<v Speaker 3>part of DOT D and B. For example, we're gonna

1414
01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:48.800
<v Speaker 3>we're going to start a Florida ceiling audit of D

1415
01:14:48.880 --> 01:14:52.159
<v Speaker 3>and B. So D and D. You know, there is

1416
01:14:52.239 --> 01:14:56.760
<v Speaker 3>an area where, uh, it's not just about appropriations. What

1417
01:14:56.800 --> 01:15:01.760
<v Speaker 3>it's about is about the lack of of customer service

1418
01:15:01.920 --> 01:15:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and the lack of a working state agency. I mean

1419
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:10.279
<v Speaker 3>there is an agency. You've got people these days to

1420
01:15:10.359 --> 01:15:13.079
<v Speaker 3>go online and they're trying to get an appointment to

1421
01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:15.960
<v Speaker 3>get a driver's license from their sixteen year old and

1422
01:15:16.439 --> 01:15:20.159
<v Speaker 3>it's three months, six months for an apployment. So they've

1423
01:15:20.199 --> 01:15:23.479
<v Speaker 3>played these games. Where can I go in the state

1424
01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:27.039
<v Speaker 3>of North Carolina six hours away to hopefully get a

1425
01:15:27.119 --> 01:15:29.680
<v Speaker 3>walk in appointment. Look, that should fay see, that shouldn't

1426
01:15:29.680 --> 01:15:33.800
<v Speaker 3>be the way the DMV operates. And so for now,

1427
01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:37.960
<v Speaker 3>years and years and years, that agency just seems to

1428
01:15:37.960 --> 01:15:40.239
<v Speaker 3>not be able to get it right. So there's an

1429
01:15:40.279 --> 01:15:43.920
<v Speaker 3>area where I think an audit can come in, you know,

1430
01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:49.680
<v Speaker 3>and give some solid, common sense recommendations and benchmark some

1431
01:15:49.720 --> 01:15:54.359
<v Speaker 3>of these other states. Benchmark Florida, Benchmark Texas, Benchmark California

1432
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:56.520
<v Speaker 3>where they don't have these long lines and whether they

1433
01:15:56.520 --> 01:15:59.119
<v Speaker 3>don't have three month rates to get your driver's license.

1434
01:15:59.399 --> 01:16:02.159
<v Speaker 3>And let's take some things that work across the country.

1435
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Give those as recommendations, hand them to the governor's office

1436
01:16:06.079 --> 01:16:08.920
<v Speaker 3>and the legislature and say here you go, here's your solution.

1437
01:16:09.239 --> 01:16:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Now that's up to you to do it. I mean,

1438
01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:12.079
<v Speaker 3>that's what the auditor can do.

1439
01:16:13.199 --> 01:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>All right. Well, well, let's talk about what the auditor

1440
01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>does and an expansion of what they do. As part

1441
01:16:19.039 --> 01:16:23.199
<v Speaker 1>of the relief bill, which also included some reformation of

1442
01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:28.439
<v Speaker 1>where powers are located, you were tasked with some new duties.

1443
01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>And let me I'm going to read the headline here

1444
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>from News and Observer incoming n see Auditor Dave Bullock

1445
01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>says he doesn't see he didn't seek new powers over

1446
01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:40.079
<v Speaker 1>state Elections Board. All right, why is the state auditor

1447
01:16:40.079 --> 01:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>at powers over elections board? Where are you at on this?

1448
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:45.159
<v Speaker 1>And what do you understand your duty.

1449
01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Is so my understanding of the duty under the statute

1450
01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:54.319
<v Speaker 3>is the State Auditor now and as it's a law,

1451
01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:58.039
<v Speaker 3>it's not just a bill anymore, it's a lall my

1452
01:16:58.199 --> 01:17:01.680
<v Speaker 3>office and I will be We're responsible for appointing State

1453
01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Board of Elections and county board chairs all across North

1454
01:17:06.880 --> 01:17:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Carolina to administer the elections. Will also be in charge

1455
01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:14.800
<v Speaker 3>of the budget of the Board of Elections. The Board

1456
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:20.079
<v Speaker 3>of Elections itself will operate much like it did under

1457
01:17:20.119 --> 01:17:23.359
<v Speaker 3>the Governor's office. It will operate in a sort of

1458
01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:29.439
<v Speaker 3>as a quasi independent agency subject to direction of the

1459
01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Board of Elections, but the Auditor's Office will handle the

1460
01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:35.720
<v Speaker 3>budget of that agency.

1461
01:17:36.239 --> 01:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And I just because the way that it's the

1462
01:17:41.760 --> 01:17:43.680
<v Speaker 1>way that it's portrayed, and I know you know this

1463
01:17:44.279 --> 01:17:47.199
<v Speaker 1>is that you are in a cigar field room and

1464
01:17:47.520 --> 01:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>with your buddies, and you know Burger's in there and

1465
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:52.039
<v Speaker 1>Moors in there, and they're only, ah, how can we

1466
01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:54.840
<v Speaker 1>screw Josh Stein and and you rub your hands together,

1467
01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:57.279
<v Speaker 1>like give me, give me some stuff. I'll carry this

1468
01:17:57.319 --> 01:18:03.239
<v Speaker 1>out on behalf of my gop masters. What I almost

1469
01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>that's almost verbat him. Some of the stuff I've seen

1470
01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>around this it's getting pretty insane, but when you explain it,

1471
01:18:07.760 --> 01:18:13.079
<v Speaker 1>it sounds pretty boring, respectfully. So there's a we know

1472
01:18:13.119 --> 01:18:16.600
<v Speaker 1>there's been political politicalization, especially when you get into board

1473
01:18:16.600 --> 01:18:19.479
<v Speaker 1>of election stuff right at the state level. That transition

1474
01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:22.439
<v Speaker 1>to Cooper made, So how do how do you go

1475
01:18:22.520 --> 01:18:25.159
<v Speaker 1>about doing that and ensuring that you're doing so in

1476
01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:28.479
<v Speaker 1>an oversight way that is fair to everybody. I know

1477
01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:30.199
<v Speaker 1>they're still going to say this, but what is your

1478
01:18:30.239 --> 01:18:32.199
<v Speaker 1>plan for that? Because you know they're going to attack

1479
01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:33.760
<v Speaker 1>you if you do something they don't like.

1480
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:38.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, we're to be just transparent with you.

1481
01:18:38.359 --> 01:18:43.079
<v Speaker 3>It's something that I didn't ask for, didn't expect, and

1482
01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:45.600
<v Speaker 3>we're we're simulating a plan of how we're going to

1483
01:18:45.640 --> 01:18:48.920
<v Speaker 3>handle it. Let me say one thing. You know when

1484
01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:50.840
<v Speaker 3>I took the oath of office, I actually took the

1485
01:18:50.880 --> 01:18:53.479
<v Speaker 3>oath on January first, and we'll do the ceremonial thing

1486
01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:58.239
<v Speaker 3>Saturday in the snow. I guess, yeah, there is there

1487
01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:04.119
<v Speaker 3>is a special oath that the auditor takes to be

1488
01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:09.680
<v Speaker 3>nonpartisan and to look after the people of North Carolina

1489
01:19:10.039 --> 01:19:13.760
<v Speaker 3>in an accountable way. It's actually in the statue where

1490
01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:18.399
<v Speaker 3>the Auditor has a Most Council of State have two oaths.

1491
01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:20.640
<v Speaker 3>They have a constitutional oath and then a statutory oath,

1492
01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:24.119
<v Speaker 3>and then the Auditor has a special third oh which

1493
01:19:24.319 --> 01:19:28.800
<v Speaker 3>talks about being nonpartisan and administering the office in a

1494
01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:32.359
<v Speaker 3>non partisan way. On behalf of politas, payers and citizens

1495
01:19:32.359 --> 01:19:38.560
<v Speaker 3>in North Carolina. So we'll start there, right, and then look,

1496
01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:43.119
<v Speaker 3>don't I don't see the big I really don't understand

1497
01:19:43.119 --> 01:19:47.119
<v Speaker 3>the controversy as much. I guess if you're the governor

1498
01:19:47.439 --> 01:19:51.800
<v Speaker 3>and you have part of your duties taken away, I

1499
01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:53.720
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I might be happy that that's one least

1500
01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:58.159
<v Speaker 3>thing I have to do, but it's no different when

1501
01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:01.640
<v Speaker 3>they talk about politicalization. I mean differences. I'm a Republican

1502
01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:04.880
<v Speaker 3>and Josh Stein's a Democrat. So the media is upset

1503
01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:07.159
<v Speaker 3>that a Republican is going to be administering the Board

1504
01:20:07.199 --> 01:20:09.640
<v Speaker 3>of Elections, not a Democrat. That's the only difference.

1505
01:20:09.680 --> 01:20:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I said, all right, hey, Dave, real quick, how does

1506
01:20:13.039 --> 01:20:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the auditor fix the concerns people have with the hurricane

1507
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff or is there something to fix there?

1508
01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:22.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, now, I think there is a way the auditor

1509
01:20:22.399 --> 01:20:24.239
<v Speaker 3>can help with the concerns on that. As a matter

1510
01:20:24.279 --> 01:20:27.279
<v Speaker 3>of fact, tomorrow, I'll be in Ashville. The Auditor's Office

1511
01:20:27.319 --> 01:20:31.720
<v Speaker 3>has an office in an Ashville. I'm stopping by in Hickory

1512
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:33.520
<v Speaker 3>and Cataba County. We're going to take a look at

1513
01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:38.319
<v Speaker 3>some stuff there, talk to a business roundtable from business

1514
01:20:38.399 --> 01:20:42.399
<v Speaker 3>leaders around western North Carolina to get their input so

1515
01:20:42.479 --> 01:20:46.279
<v Speaker 3>I can put some context around auditing and a context

1516
01:20:46.279 --> 01:20:50.640
<v Speaker 3>around recommendations on response. And then we're going to go

1517
01:20:50.720 --> 01:20:53.119
<v Speaker 3>to Ashville. I need to meet with the team members

1518
01:20:53.159 --> 01:20:55.720
<v Speaker 3>that work for the State Auditors Office, make sure that

1519
01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:58.399
<v Speaker 3>their families are doing okay. And then we're going to

1520
01:20:58.479 --> 01:21:01.600
<v Speaker 3>talk to folks there in ash Bill again to bring

1521
01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:04.439
<v Speaker 3>context to these auths. And we're going to take a

1522
01:21:04.479 --> 01:21:09.000
<v Speaker 3>look and give the public not only just a kind

1523
01:21:09.039 --> 01:21:12.560
<v Speaker 3>of a dbreak after the fact, but some tracking along

1524
01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:15.720
<v Speaker 3>the way. And I think that's uni shot a light.

1525
01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:17.279
<v Speaker 3>People tend to respond.

1526
01:21:17.800 --> 01:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you think, and again, I'll leave this up to

1527
01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>you because you're in a position now where you got

1528
01:21:22.800 --> 01:21:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to work with these folks. Do you think that leadership

1529
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>in North Carolina through the hurricane, and I mean at

1530
01:21:28.720 --> 01:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the legislative level, the AG's office, Governor's office, do you

1531
01:21:32.640 --> 01:21:35.239
<v Speaker 1>think that everyone there was doing their level best to

1532
01:21:35.279 --> 01:21:38.079
<v Speaker 1>work in the best interest of North Carolinians who were

1533
01:21:38.079 --> 01:21:41.039
<v Speaker 1>affected by this, because a lot of people don't, A

1534
01:21:41.079 --> 01:21:43.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of my listeners don't. I don't. I thought it

1535
01:21:43.920 --> 01:21:46.399
<v Speaker 1>was a tragedy, especially with the FEMA stuff and the

1536
01:21:46.399 --> 01:21:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Trump signs, that we didn't hear a peep from the

1537
01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:51.279
<v Speaker 1>governor in the ag at the time. Who's now the governor.

1538
01:21:52.279 --> 01:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's where you get into the partisan side of this.

1539
01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:57.479
<v Speaker 1>So how do you how do you walk that line?

1540
01:21:57.520 --> 01:22:00.239
<v Speaker 1>I got about ninety seconds and do you Yeah.

1541
01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, in my sense is is that most people in

1542
01:22:05.119 --> 01:22:08.600
<v Speaker 3>state government really want to do the right thing. Whether

1543
01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:11.960
<v Speaker 3>that happened or not. I don't know. You know, I've

1544
01:22:11.960 --> 01:22:13.720
<v Speaker 3>gone back and forth on this, and I've talked to

1545
01:22:13.800 --> 01:22:17.159
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people about it. I really think that

1546
01:22:17.279 --> 01:22:22.439
<v Speaker 3>the governor's office and the response from the state in

1547
01:22:22.560 --> 01:22:26.079
<v Speaker 3>Raleigh kind of were caught off guard and just didn't

1548
01:22:26.760 --> 01:22:30.239
<v Speaker 3>didn't have the wherewithal to respond to Western North Carolina.

1549
01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:32.600
<v Speaker 3>In eastern North carolin it's a little different. Your local

1550
01:22:32.640 --> 01:22:36.520
<v Speaker 3>emergency management teams have been through these disasters. They can

1551
01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:40.239
<v Speaker 3>flip the switch and move forward, totally different situation in

1552
01:22:40.319 --> 01:22:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Western North Carolina. I went out to Western North Carolina

1553
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:48.640
<v Speaker 3>ninety six hours after the storm, and I do think

1554
01:22:48.680 --> 01:22:51.680
<v Speaker 3>they were probably a couple of days late. But the

1555
01:22:51.720 --> 01:22:56.079
<v Speaker 3>individual actors, yeah, they really were about ninety six hours

1556
01:22:56.119 --> 01:22:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I think late. But the individual actors, the individual National

1557
01:22:59.760 --> 01:23:04.159
<v Speaker 3>Guard workman and folks that were on the ground, they're

1558
01:23:04.159 --> 01:23:05.600
<v Speaker 3>doing everything they can do.

1559
01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to cut you. I got about ten seconds.

1560
01:23:08.039 --> 01:23:09.159
<v Speaker 1>I just want to thank you for your time. It

1561
01:23:09.159 --> 01:23:10.479
<v Speaker 1>has been an interesting conversation.

1562
01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:15.520
<v Speaker 3>So uh hey, thanks for thanks for having me on.

1563
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:18.079
<v Speaker 3>Enjoy being with you before, have me on again. I'm

1564
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:18.880
<v Speaker 3>glad to give you a lit
