Speaker 1: I was just reading something this morning, and I realized
Speaker 1: I might have perfectly timed in the way that only
Speaker 1: a sitting member of Congress can perfectly time, like a
Speaker 1: stock trade. I think I may have caught lightning in
Speaker 1: a in a bottle there. So I had to go
Speaker 1: grocery shopping Monday. So I did that kind of prefer
Speaker 1: mondays wind down. I don't want to be I don't
Speaker 1: want to go in on the weekends or run into
Speaker 1: a bunch of people. Plus on Monday sometimes for one
Speaker 1: of those people who like to go check out the
Speaker 1: yellow or red tags over the meat area, Monday's a
Speaker 1: good day to do that. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: the all stores, but finds of deals in there. So
Speaker 1: I went shopping, and you know, about the normal stuff,
Speaker 1: the normal stuff, and you know, still grown. When I
Speaker 1: did it, it was what it was. And then you know,
Speaker 1: Tuesday was Tariff's Day and I'd already been shopping, and
Speaker 1: now here we are it's Friday, and uh panel on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: Let make sure I have this correct. I was just
Speaker 1: watching these idiots all bark at each other. Let's see
Speaker 1: here the prices now since okay, so since the announcement
Speaker 1: of the Trump tariffs. This MSNB a CNBC host, this
Speaker 1: is just insane, and then it was over on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: So they said on CNBC and MSNBC quote anecdotally was
Speaker 1: pointing out that the very same groceries from last week
Speaker 1: are now one hundred and fifty percent more. Is that true?
Speaker 1: I haven't been to a grocery store since Monday? Ross,
Speaker 1: have you done it? You're you're you're further north. It
Speaker 1: should be truer for you, probably, right.
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1: You haven't bought anything? Right?
Speaker 2: No, No, I have.
Speaker 1: But food, not food? You have food?
Speaker 2: Oh you know, no food?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh wow, Okay he paid one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: percent more for it.
Speaker 2: I mean I can double check my account. No I
Speaker 2: did not.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, well it's coming right. It's probably
Speaker 1: like the zombie apocalypse right where you know, you get
Speaker 1: the first Biden. It's got to work its way down.
Speaker 1: So that's crazy. Like do you even have the staff
Speaker 1: at a normal grocery store to reprice everything one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty percent different in three days? I don't feel
Speaker 1: like you do. I don't feel like that's reality. But no,
Speaker 1: that's what they were going with. And you're gonna be
Speaker 1: shocked to learn they figured out where the claim emerge from. Uh,
Speaker 1: it emerged from what is known as post fact or
Speaker 1: fact post. Do you know what this account is? You do?
Speaker 1: You don't know that you do? This account used to
Speaker 1: have another name, Kamala HQ. Apparently they were able to
Speaker 1: get the the name changed to fact Post, and so
Speaker 1: they sit there and they run all this stuff. And
Speaker 1: so I don't know if they're keen off of it
Speaker 1: or it's the same person. But I'm so glad I
Speaker 1: bought Monday. Whoo. That was close. So sure, it's just
Speaker 1: a matter of top Probably some of our Virginia listeners
Speaker 1: are dead now because it's I'm sure there's panels in
Speaker 1: New York or maybe DC, probably New York. So it's
Speaker 1: a coming head of the hills. Get in your bunkers.
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be absolutely pandemonium, the dumbest thing. And
Speaker 1: then nobody just sits there and goes, you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't have Maybe we shouldn't have gone with
Speaker 1: one fifty. That's kind of ridiculous. They're just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, it's so bad out there. I can't believe
Speaker 1: what he did this week. It's like the did you
Speaker 1: see the story last week where they're like, uh, the
Speaker 1: they're they're they're bordering on running that there's a full
Speaker 1: blown AIDS crisis because of the USA I D cuts,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, everybody got AIDS in three weeks? What happened?
Speaker 1: How does that work? Because like I again, I'm willing
Speaker 1: to listen to any arguments out there saying, hey, we
Speaker 1: had this program, this program was very effective, and here's
Speaker 1: this strategic advantage or positive thing for how did everyone
Speaker 1: get AIDS in three weeks. I'm not making light of AIDS.
Speaker 1: I'm making light of people who would sit there and go, oh, yes,
Speaker 1: this thing, this thing not happening anymore. Meanwhile, there's a
Speaker 1: gazillion other organizations out there and all of a sudden, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just saying this. Numbers are blowing up. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if you go get if you wanted to go get tested.
Speaker 1: Let's say that you find out your spouse is unfaithful. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is this is where this is where people will
Speaker 1: go get full screens right and and DWARS is nigh
Speaker 1: one of the first things you should probably go do
Speaker 1: should probably probably go get an STD check and they
Speaker 1: will tell you when you get a panel for something
Speaker 1: like that that specifically when you're talking about HIV, that
Speaker 1: time matters, So you can go get a checked two
Speaker 1: weeks after you find out, but also you need to
Speaker 1: go get checked again after a certain amount of time.
Speaker 1: So like that's that's that's what I'm talking about here.
Speaker 1: You're telling me that all this happened in two or
Speaker 1: three weeks. How long have we been running eights? I
Speaker 1: can't even get into all the things I want to
Speaker 1: say about this topic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you can't. Ross knows him and no,
Speaker 2: but on a larger thing, I mean, listen, I can't
Speaker 2: remember my life without AIDS being a thing in like
Speaker 2: in the world.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: We grew up in the Red Ribbon and it was
Speaker 2: on TV everywhere and they had like very special episodes
Speaker 2: of shows and stuff. So we've had thirty to forty
Speaker 2: years of education about this and how to get it
Speaker 2: and how not to get it, and we've been helping
Speaker 2: these countries for the same amount of time. If this
Speaker 2: was the case, which it isn't, but if it was
Speaker 2: the case that you know, Trump suddenly pulled out this
Speaker 2: usaid money and certainly AIDS has exploded in Africa on
Speaker 2: a span of two weeks, which once again hasn't happened,
Speaker 2: because that's ridiculous. But even if that did, what was
Speaker 2: given the benefit of the doubt that did happen?
Speaker 1: What do we what? What?
Speaker 2: What happened in the last thirty forty years? That message
Speaker 2: should have gotten in your head. You should be aware
Speaker 2: that this is a thing and how how to get
Speaker 2: it and how not to get it because we've been
Speaker 2: pumping billions of dollars in these countries for four decades
Speaker 2: about this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've done some We done some educating, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Do we need like another forty fifty years before you
Speaker 2: know the the concept is understood? I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: I would encourage people if they too, are questioned, because
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into a lot of reasons
Speaker 1: because I I don't pretend to fully understand all of them. However,
Speaker 1: you will quickly if you if you start really digging
Speaker 1: into this topic, you're going to be greeted with some
Speaker 1: big hurdles that are cultural hurdles that have to be overcome.
Speaker 2: And you're gonna read it and you're going to be like,
Speaker 2: that's not true because it's so ridiculous. Look, can't do it.
Speaker 1: Illogical. No, here's what I'm gonna say, illogical customs and
Speaker 1: or beliefs that have a little part of religion maybe
Speaker 1: attached to it. Like that's not like that's it's not
Speaker 1: a new thing. Okay, it's just I don't even want
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that this is a religious
Speaker 1: thing that necessarily because it's not any it's it's just
Speaker 1: an incorrect interpretation of things. And so that's a that's
Speaker 1: a and that's a tough thing to overcome, right, it's
Speaker 1: a tough thing for practices of this really this thing
Speaker 1: that is just you know, it's everyone on earth. This
Speaker 1: is the tie that binds, so to speak. Right, I
Speaker 1: don't care, I don't care who you are. Your dude,
Speaker 1: some topless girl goes by with a basket on her head,
Speaker 1: What do you see? You know what's in the basket. No,
Speaker 1: you're not right, because you just have these innate drive
Speaker 1: to pro create, and it's just very important that there
Speaker 1: are things that you can do and things that you
Speaker 1: can't do within there. And I don't know how to
Speaker 1: overcome that, but it really really there's there's a lot there,
Speaker 1: but don't don't try to tell me that in two
Speaker 1: three weeks, like all effort was lost.
Speaker 2: The whole premise that we have to think through this
Speaker 2: is if it's a possibility that that actually happened, is ridiculous, right, absurd?
Speaker 2: Absolutely Trump comes in two weeks later, there's an AIDS
Speaker 2: explosion in the Congo or whatever.
Speaker 1: Please yeah, and let's video emerge of him running around
Speaker 1: with a needle, like just stop, just stop, make your
Speaker 1: arguments why this is good for the US from and
Speaker 1: then insert whatever it is. And again, I'm not one
Speaker 1: of these pure isolationist dudes. I think sometimes you do
Speaker 1: do things so that you can exert a little bit
Speaker 1: of control or or you can at least counter control China. China,
Speaker 1: this is their thing now. They just go around, They're like,
Speaker 1: we're your friend, we're your friend. And the US used
Speaker 1: to do it a lot. And I don't know what
Speaker 1: the answer is, but I get very uncomfortable when China's
Speaker 1: doing things like US stopping I can't believe I'm going
Speaker 1: to say this stopping the acquisition of those port facilities
Speaker 1: down in Panama by Blackrock. Not that I'm Blackrock to
Speaker 1: have him. But I don't like that China's in a
Speaker 1: position that they can dictate who can or can't buy
Speaker 1: these from the Panamanian government. But holy hell, all right,
Speaker 1: that's as close to that hot potato as I'll get.
Speaker 1: But you guys do your thing. Oh do you see
Speaker 1: Corey Booker admitted that his big speech was nothing but
Speaker 1: political theater. That's weird, Rosz. Did you see Corey Booker's
Speaker 1: quote yesterday to Stephen A. Smith? He said he won't
Speaker 1: define himself by who he's against, who his opposition is,
Speaker 1: I should is what he's saying. Corey Booker says he
Speaker 1: doesn't define himself by who he's against. Now I know
Speaker 1: it was none of it was real. No, that's a
Speaker 1: troll of all trolls. Man.
Speaker 2: No, he was only done so he could, you know,
Speaker 2: raise his profile for the next election.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And he's like, oh, I don't care
Speaker 1: about I don't define myself by him against you. You've
Speaker 1: set a kind of not really a filibuster. But you
Speaker 1: let's put this in normal terms. All right, Let's say
Speaker 1: let's say we're a bunch of girls, sorry ladies, all right,
Speaker 1: We're a bunch of girls right, uh, and we're and
Speaker 1: Ross and I are sitting around in our friend court
Speaker 1: Korea or whatever where he would go buy in. This
Speaker 1: scenario comes by and it's like, I, Oh, that boy
Speaker 1: that I like, I don't even think about him, and
Speaker 1: then proceeds to whine about how he doesn't he didn't
Speaker 1: look back, and I gave him the I gave blinked
Speaker 1: at him, and I left the note and b for
Speaker 1: eighteen hours. She's like, I don't even think about him.
Speaker 1: That's that's what that is. Am I wrong? That's that
Speaker 1: where he's living rent free in your head and your
Speaker 1: friends know they're just like whatever.
Speaker 2: He only brought up one valid point the entire twenty
Speaker 2: four hours. There was at one point where he said
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills were the only near New York state
Speaker 2: football team, the only team and.
Speaker 1: I'm not check. Four hours and twenty minutes he did.
Speaker 2: I see now. I saw it on my Twitter feed
Speaker 2: and I said, you know what, Corey good point Korean Arena.
Speaker 1: Remember we're doing the that that's because this is what
Speaker 1: this is. I don't even I don't even think about him.
Speaker 1: Here's eighteen hours of why do man so good on
Speaker 1: him getting his troll on. Now we can just as
Speaker 1: quickly ignore him. All right, six nineteen, we have an
Speaker 1: update on that lunatic who went on the Sentinel Island
Speaker 1: because of course he did. This guy's got a guard dude.
Speaker 1: I need to get in on this dude's guardian angel action.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna tell you. I'll give you the
Speaker 1: rest of the details and much more coming up case
Speaker 1: O Day Radio program. You know, so of the tariff
Speaker 1: reaction and what's going on there stock market now it's
Speaker 1: sixteen no twelve, sixteen hundred, right, yes, sir, which is
Speaker 1: not on expat. I don't know if they expect it
Speaker 1: to be that much, but clearly there was gonna be
Speaker 1: some some sell off here. Well, will chat with Jeff
Speaker 1: Bellinger a little later. Pete Callener will join us. That's
Speaker 1: coming up at eight oh five. And uh, we had
Speaker 1: basically two weeks of stuff to chit chat about.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Liam Neeson is Frank Drevin? Is that what's going on?
Speaker 1: Do you see this the New Naked Gun reboot starring
Speaker 1: Liam Neeson. I he's got some You ever see the
Speaker 1: video of Liam Neeson where he's I don't even know
Speaker 1: the premise of what they're doing. But they got him
Speaker 1: in there and they're like, all right, let's act out
Speaker 1: a scenario, like a workplace scenario, and he's his comic
Speaker 1: timing's pretty good. I can't even remember what they were doing.
Speaker 1: It's really funny. Are you just kind of it's just weird?
Speaker 1: And everybody else saw in the room. I think it
Speaker 1: was like, all right, imagine the conversation with you and
Speaker 1: this restaurant owner, and like it evolved into some really
Speaker 1: dark humor and Liam Neeson kind of nailed it. So
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you can do this. The problem
Speaker 1: is I don't think you can let Frank Drebin be
Speaker 1: Frank Rebin man. By the way, here, the writing probably
Speaker 1: is gonna be okay, listen to the yeah we got
Speaker 1: time for this.
Speaker 3: Hey, little girl, stop, what do you want?
Speaker 4: Little one?
Speaker 1: Your ass?
Speaker 3: That's the.
Speaker 5: Who are you?
Speaker 1: Frankreben? Please squad.
Speaker 6: The version, h daddy, it's me Frank Jad.
Speaker 1: Would miss you. Look, I don't know.
Speaker 7: You.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the little slicing dice here is a little OJ
Speaker 1: reference there, So that's fun maybe, And I did cat
Speaker 1: I did give it a an asterisk. I will point
Speaker 1: that out because I'm because you never know, you never know.
Speaker 1: I'm referring to the father with the job interview because
Speaker 1: the story as it was first explained, and I was
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how the media seems to have
Speaker 1: gotten so duped on this, and I think I figured
Speaker 1: it out. So if you remember a Georgia father accused
Speaker 1: of leaving three young kids, the oldest twelve, the youngest one,
Speaker 1: the middle one is six, at a McDonald's and uh,
Speaker 1: like us to Georgia there so that he could go
Speaker 1: do a job interview kind of across the street and
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Apparently it was at a hotel
Speaker 1: or an inn of some sort, and he just left
Speaker 1: the kids at the play place at McDonald's. A customer
Speaker 1: saw the kids and it was a problem. That's how
Speaker 1: we understood it, right, So yeah, it looks like that
Speaker 1: may not be the case. So as best I can tell,
Speaker 1: now what I said when we talked about I said,
Speaker 1: you know this, I don't understand necessarily how this is
Speaker 1: helpful if he's trying to do the right thing. And
Speaker 1: I said, unless, of course, he was going to a
Speaker 1: bar or to go gambling or whatever, and then you know,
Speaker 1: do whatever you're gonna do, and I don't know that
Speaker 1: it quite rises to that level. So here's what police
Speaker 1: think happened. Dude went and filled out a job application
Speaker 1: around one thirty and uh, but was not expecting any
Speaker 1: return call for an interview. Okay, all right, so you
Speaker 1: take care of that. But you know, some would argue, well,
Speaker 1: if you're just doing the application, it's not a set
Speaker 1: of appointment. Is the urgency enough with the kids, And
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it is. I don't know his
Speaker 1: whole schedule there, and I arguably that would be far
Speaker 1: less worse, right, because it's a very timed, quick event
Speaker 1: to just fill out a very generic job application, so
Speaker 1: it'd pop over, pop off. But it turns out he
Speaker 1: was not gone for thirty minutes. He was gone for
Speaker 1: ninety and there were customers that police interviewed that it
Speaker 1: reported some like exchange because he was on the phone
Speaker 1: too before he left his kids there, and something about
Speaker 1: dropping something off and then going to the store and
Speaker 1: grab something. Well, it turns out the police think he
Speaker 1: had the backpack he had and then whatever acquired at
Speaker 1: the store he was getting for the I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's all the kid's mom, but whatever is estranged
Speaker 1: the other the woman's name is, and then went to
Speaker 1: an apartment complex. It's about a mile down the road,
Speaker 1: walk down there, and for whatever reason, was not able
Speaker 1: to find her, which the whole thing is weird. And
Speaker 1: in the during that time he had he lost his
Speaker 1: wallet and ID and was not able to deliver the bag.
Speaker 1: But the point is that when police started digging into
Speaker 1: this like it was, it clearly wasn't that now the
Speaker 1: reason I think that they, probably the media was willing
Speaker 1: to run with it. Well we can. We can talk
Speaker 1: about motivations for days, but is one of the people
Speaker 1: corroborated that this is what was happening? Turn it now
Speaker 1: turns out, is this dude's homeless crackhead girlfriend. I don't
Speaker 1: know if cracks her drug of choice. Uh. It kind
Speaker 1: of looked like something is uh, And there you go.
Speaker 1: And I'm not knocking on her for being homeless. I'm
Speaker 1: not knocking her for that, but it's like, you didn't ask, hey,
Speaker 1: do you guys know each other? What's going on here?
Speaker 1: So that's where that's where we're at. And with with
Speaker 1: those facts there until they tell me something more. I mean,
Speaker 1: charging him with kind of a very moderate in the
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things as it pertains to kids probably
Speaker 1: is appropriate. And I know some people are going, well,
Speaker 1: what does it change? You know, if he does, he
Speaker 1: has enough transportation and he's got to drop this bag
Speaker 1: off for his kids, you know, his his kid's mom's
Speaker 1: or a mom or whatever. You gotta do what he's
Speaker 1: got to do. Well, no, because if you walk the
Speaker 1: kids down there, kids can walk a mile, ten year
Speaker 1: old will walk a mile. You probably have to stick
Speaker 1: of what you know, you're gonna have to carry a
Speaker 1: one year old obviously, but if that's something you feel
Speaker 1: you got to do, you don't have to leave your
Speaker 1: kids a McDonald's to do it. So yeah, I hate that. Now,
Speaker 1: what's didn't they raise a crap ton of money for
Speaker 1: this dude too? And Antonio Brown come out and was like,
Speaker 1: let's get him paid. I don't know how that's gonna work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because most people wanted the story to be true,
Speaker 2: right well, and yeah, yeah, I mean it was a
Speaker 2: good thing. You have a guy who had a kid
Speaker 2: at fourteen, is still in his kid's life and ten
Speaker 2: years later at twenty four going to try to get
Speaker 2: a job to provide for his family. I mean, we
Speaker 2: will all most people wanted this story to be true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think they're disputing that he went
Speaker 1: over there and filled out the application. So you know,
Speaker 1: whether that was because he sincerely wants that job, or
Speaker 1: he has to do a certain number for some benefits
Speaker 1: for his kids, I don't know what it is, but
Speaker 1: like this is that's a remarkably different set of circumstances. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd be very interested to see this
Speaker 1: all filled in. I suspect this story will probably not
Speaker 1: get picked up by most of the national media again because,
Speaker 1: let's just be honest, a lot of them were in
Speaker 1: it because they want there. There was a certain narrative
Speaker 1: there too. Why are they harassing this this this poor
Speaker 1: black man who's just trying to get ahead. And again
Speaker 1: I don't know that he wasn't doing things he thought
Speaker 1: he needed to, but it just tarnishes all of it, man,
Speaker 1: So hopefully they get that figured out. Meanwhile, over in Asheville,
Speaker 1: they got their own dude trying to get ahead. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that story here, and uh, actually, what the
Speaker 1: what the heck? The clock a few minutes if you said, hey,
Speaker 1: some dude tried to tried to successfully Although did get
Speaker 1: caught rob a grocery store for incense and a cinnabon,
Speaker 1: you'd be like, I'm sorry, what, Yeah, the whole the
Speaker 1: whole store and you robbed incense.
Speaker 2: Dude, that are good?
Speaker 1: It well, I don't know if it was a cinnabun
Speaker 1: or a cinnamon bun.
Speaker 2: Both ways, Yeah, they're better at the airport though my opinion.
Speaker 1: I'm just not a sweet skuy.
Speaker 3: But you do.
Speaker 1: You people are over at Cinnamon look like they're having
Speaker 1: a great time. I will say that I've never had
Speaker 1: a cinnamon but you guys do you so you're missing out?
Speaker 1: Am I really? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's life changing.
Speaker 1: As you go to the city.
Speaker 2: I don't even know where is. It will probably give
Speaker 2: you diabetes.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, can't you get don't they sell cinnabons
Speaker 1: at Taco Bell and the dessert menuor that's chopped up?
Speaker 1: Isn't that what that is?
Speaker 2: I know I'm talking like the big Mac Daddy like
Speaker 2: cinabun where it's like it comes in the giant box.
Speaker 1: So my point was, does that dude's mugshot? I never
Speaker 1: knew this existed. Looks like somebody who would steal in sense?
Speaker 1: Is that true? That's true, that's the most hippie. It's
Speaker 1: the most dippy hippie Violet. And you know what was
Speaker 1: his weapon of choice? Machete?
Speaker 2: Oh that's great, yeah whatever, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So this long haired lunatic goes in allegedly to a
Speaker 1: grocery store in Ashville's name's Jeffrey Bradburn, and he's like,
Speaker 1: give me all the incense, which is the most Ashville
Speaker 1: crime I could think of if you really think about it.
Speaker 1: What it don't sell? Patuli there that you could get?
Speaker 1: What are your staple needs? I'm assuming if you go
Speaker 1: steal a cinnamon bun and uh and and incense, you're
Speaker 1: high af right? Doesn't that sound sound like something in
Speaker 1: case the munchies to bring about. I'm not encouraging it.
Speaker 1: And by the way, when police tracked him down, you
Speaker 1: know what he was doing, shoving that cinnamon roll in
Speaker 1: his face. Cought red, caught white handed. I guess with
Speaker 1: the uh the goodness they put on.
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of robberies lately in the news
Speaker 2: where they've been super weird. Really, you know, younger people
Speaker 2: committing these robberies or these staffs. Remember the guys who
Speaker 2: had the snake who stole who stole the vapes? Like,
Speaker 2: take the money, man.
Speaker 1: You can flip vapes. That stuff's not chance to sell.
Speaker 1: People sell like vapes on the streets.
Speaker 2: But whatever happened is taking the cash. Now you're like,
Speaker 2: give me the cinabun in the incense.
Speaker 1: You just claim to like cinabuns. All right, let's say
Speaker 1: you all right now.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to commit a crime for a cinnabun.
Speaker 2: I will pay for it, all right, out my mask
Speaker 2: in the airport like a normal human being.
Speaker 1: Hear me out. Let's say that that weird MSNBC panels, Right,
Speaker 1: groceries are one hundred and fifty percent higher this week
Speaker 1: from Monday when I shopped. And now you're like, ah, man,
Speaker 1: I gotta feed my family. I gotta do something. So
Speaker 1: let's say you go rob the cookout, you leave it
Speaker 1: with just the money.
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm a man of class and sophistication, So if
Speaker 2: I'm going to take part in the heist, it's going
Speaker 2: to be a major heist. So I would do this
Speaker 2: Cinnabon if it was. If I'm like robbing a Cinnabon,
Speaker 2: playing factory, like, I'll take out like seven trucks. I'm
Speaker 2: not going, I'm not committing a crime and going to
Speaker 2: prison for stealing one cinnabon.
Speaker 1: And insane you forgot these? Yeah, it's not gonna incense.
Speaker 1: I don't even know. All right, but you're a cookout
Speaker 1: and let's say that as you did the stick them
Speaker 1: up and you got the money, you look over where
Speaker 1: they put all the food that's getting ready, it's all done.
Speaker 1: Are you ready to go to people? And you see
Speaker 1: a peach cobbler sitting there?
Speaker 2: Oh no, but I'm taking the money and the cobbler.
Speaker 2: But also, once again, I'm a man of sophistication. I'm
Speaker 2: hiding in the ventilation shaft at night when they close
Speaker 2: the cookout, I'm popping down and taking all the peach
Speaker 2: cobblers and the money.
Speaker 1: I mean the ventilation shaft, we push nothing but hot Yeah,
Speaker 1: smoke through all day. Good luck with that, say beasy. Well,
Speaker 1: that's part of the principal thing you mentioned there. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder if much incense he got.
Speaker 2: I don't know that it matters, like there what a
Speaker 2: certain number? Really that's good?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, hey, if you got enough that you can flip
Speaker 1: for it's like what the city you just said you'd
Speaker 1: rob seven trucks even because they're filled with one dollar
Speaker 1: cinnamon buns. But if you got enough of them, it's
Speaker 1: gold man. You tell me you can't flip cinnabuns.
Speaker 2: Like it'd be like the robbery scene in Goodfellas where
Speaker 2: they show up at the bar afterwards and deniros in
Speaker 2: there and like I pull up in the cinebon truck
Speaker 2: and he's like, what are you doing? Hey?
Speaker 1: Go to go to wherever lonely cat ladies you know are,
Speaker 1: and then just open your cinnamon truck. Just flip it open. Hey,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? He sold out. In a minute,
Speaker 1: they saw that cat fanciers thing at the state paragrounds
Speaker 1: every year. Pop into that parking lot. He fires all
Speaker 1: those things in a minute. Well, we're just doing business here.
Speaker 1: Don't you get mad people, cause I, like I said,
Speaker 1: every year when they have that cat association thing over
Speaker 1: at the fairgrounds. If you're a dude, wanted to were
Speaker 1: like where the single lady's at? So now you bring
Speaker 1: you and your cinabun truck. You're gonna be like a god.
Speaker 2: Hey trucks plural, Well.
Speaker 1: You bring one at a time because you don't want
Speaker 1: to have all your stolen goods at the same place.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, I'm not like a low and thief here.
Speaker 1: Have you? Have you ever earned peers? Not just like
Speaker 1: in the movie, Leave the gun, take the cinnabun. Is
Speaker 1: that how that went? I don't think that's how it went.
Speaker 2: Boston, Paul, imagine Val Kilmer and Heat coming out with
Speaker 2: his ak. What did he happen? There was an AR
Speaker 2: fifteen is AR fifteen and just coming out, like you know,
Speaker 2: with a duffel bag full of cinnabuns, just taking it.
Speaker 1: In those bags. Ye gotta they looked heavy full of cinnabons.
Speaker 2: Well it's the icing man. It weighs it down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's fair. That's fair.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: What's more surprising is his bond. His pun is fifty thousands. Well,
Speaker 1: look he had a giant machete at the time, so
Speaker 1: not an June sword though. So that's good, sir. You're
Speaker 1: probably still eligible to go to the UK. All right,
Speaker 1: six forty eight. Hang on, have you seen any of
Speaker 1: the roster? You've seen any of the Jackie the German
Speaker 1: Shepherd saga, which stretches now from California to Alaska.
Speaker 2: I don't think at all.
Speaker 1: No, what is it oh my goodness. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: So during the just days after the wildfires, a stray
Speaker 1: dog and the people named it Jackie. I don't know
Speaker 1: whose it was, nobody claimed it whatever, And actually there
Speaker 1: were so many stray animals brought in following the fires.
Speaker 1: Very sad because you know a lot of he did
Speaker 1: have a lot of animals that were probably not living
Speaker 1: with people, just kind of neighborhood dogs. But you know,
Speaker 1: then all the trees burned down and all of this,
Speaker 1: so they had a big influx of pets. And this
Speaker 1: dog came in and she was facing euthanasia just due
Speaker 1: to the numbers, but at a rescue group because there's
Speaker 1: a little notoriety with this dog in Alaska stepped in
Speaker 1: and Jackie made her way to Juno, Alaska. She had
Speaker 1: to be a little bit of a shock for a
Speaker 1: dog raised in the Los Angeles area. Unfortunately, Jackie freaked
Speaker 1: the hell out, so she ran away and they've been
Speaker 1: trying to catch Jackie since then up there, and Jackie
Speaker 1: has been incredibly resourceive, resourceful, and elusive as animal control
Speaker 1: officers in the public at large. In fact, she keeps
Speaker 1: besting their traps. So they have cheese they're using cheeseburger traps,
Speaker 1: and she keeps figuring out how to eat the cheeseburger
Speaker 1: but not get trapped, which I would get How quickly
Speaker 1: would you get trapped if there were cheeseburger traps out there?
Speaker 1: I feel like I'd probably be there day one man,
Speaker 1: you'd get me sitting there? Is that a cheese Is
Speaker 1: that a delicious cheeseburger? Oh my goodness? What is this
Speaker 1: surroundings that feels caged? Anyway, there's a cheeseburger.
Speaker 2: I'll give you in a minute, I would recognize it
Speaker 2: was the trap and still go for the cheeseburger. I'll
Speaker 2: take my chances.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it looked good, they grew up a cheeseburger,
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: that it's delicious looking and she's able to get in there.
Speaker 1: So she'd been on the lamb since mid February. As
Speaker 1: you can imagine, there's still a lot of snow stuff
Speaker 1: up there. She's not exactly a cold weather dog, so
Speaker 1: uh yeah. Also, cheeseburger traps are a thing. Yeah. Here
Speaker 1: she is eating the cheeseburger they got because they got
Speaker 1: the trail cams on it. That dog's smart.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: She probably wouldn't anybody's dogs. She probably was just living
Speaker 1: off the large s of the Pacific Palisades, neighborhood man
Speaker 1: eating whatever, living her life. And now she's like, wait
Speaker 1: a second, I got on this weird loud thing and
Speaker 1: now it's cold as hell. What the heck's going on?
Speaker 1: Where's the beach? So anyway, but yeah, cheezburger traps. That's
Speaker 1: mostly why I did the story because I didn't know
Speaker 1: those were a thing, and we'd all get busted, so
Speaker 1: we got some fun audio to get for you. You
Speaker 1: heard probably mentioned in the news the tornado situation. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of really bad stuff. We'll get into it
Speaker 1: with Race Agic. And of course, even in spite of
Speaker 1: the fact that there's a lot of really bad stuff, uh,
Speaker 1: there are people out there who are reveling in the
Speaker 1: fact that when we get into these big tornado outbreaks,
Speaker 1: what are the what are the what are the states
Speaker 1: that normally are impacted flyover country quote unquote, get Oklahoma, Kansas,
Speaker 1: maybe North Texas, Arkansas, and then of course southern states Mississippi, Alabama.
Speaker 1: Any times there's a big tornado outbreak, somebody in Mississippi
Speaker 1: and Alabama. I know I'm generalizing here, but somebody in
Speaker 1: a trailer parking way like something bad is gonna happen. Well,
Speaker 1: an interesting coincidence. Do you guys remember in the very
Speaker 1: last hour when I was talking about the dude in
Speaker 1: Asheville who went and robbed the grocery store for incense
Speaker 1: and the cinnamon or whatever. And I was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: a scenario with Ross. What did you say? You said
Speaker 1: you only do big heights, right right?
Speaker 2: You know, man, you know, come on sophistication here. I'm
Speaker 2: not your petty thief.
Speaker 1: Somebody stole one hundred thousand eggs from a delivery truck.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: That's weird.
Speaker 2: That ain't me.
Speaker 1: You know, if I had to pick the person I
Speaker 1: know who eats the most eggs, you know who that
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 2: The person might be Kyle Wilson.
Speaker 1: You think it's Kyle Wilson, Zoy Chreiso Wilson, Right, No,
Speaker 1: big persons, not him, it is. It is another person.
Speaker 1: It gets up early in the morning for this station.
Speaker 2: Steve said, all he doesn't, he doesn't even work with
Speaker 2: Steve doesn't work.
Speaker 1: No, Trevor's not up that early on to blame them.
Speaker 1: So it's not me. I would know if it was me.
Speaker 1: So like, this is running short. So that happened, and
Speaker 1: then simultaneously that was in Pennsylvania, and then yesterday I
Speaker 1: thought this was Kentucky and so it's Tennessee. Oh I
Speaker 1: get it. Okay, So it so in Tennessee. Two trucks
Speaker 1: It was not one. It was two trucks showed up
Speaker 1: at a Tennessee meat packing plant and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're the meat delivery guys. And they're like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we're waiting for you, and why don't you back your
Speaker 1: trucks up? And then according to the police report, they
Speaker 1: loaded the trucks up, they drove away, and then they
Speaker 1: never arrived for deliveries for I guess was said to
Speaker 1: be in Michigan and Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Now, if it's so, did they just pull up in
Speaker 2: like a minivan or something and say, hey, give me
Speaker 2: the meat and they gave me.
Speaker 1: The trucks and falsified a truck company name called List Truckings.
Speaker 2: Okay, so if you have if you have a fake
Speaker 2: manifest and a fake truck, then truck I don't know.
Speaker 2: They always do that in the movies though they show
Speaker 2: up with like a truck that and usually it's a
Speaker 2: van they get for like the heist or the theft
Speaker 2: or whatever, and they completely remake the van to look
Speaker 2: like whatever they're supposed to do, and they paint it
Speaker 2: and they put the house and it's always perfect. And
Speaker 2: for once, I would like in a movie for them
Speaker 2: to show up in the truck and have the logo
Speaker 2: be completely crooked and the paint be like off, because
Speaker 2: that's a hard job. It's not something that's super you
Speaker 2: can just pick it up and like do a great fit.
Speaker 2: That's why we go to places to have that done.
Speaker 2: It takes a lot of work and I would just
Speaker 2: like to see it for once. They say, I want
Speaker 2: to see the process of the guy painting the van, but.
Speaker 1: You can get a wrap now for like eight hundred
Speaker 1: bucks and it will say whatever you want.
Speaker 2: I would just lay. I would like to see in
Speaker 2: a movie where they get for once, you see the
Speaker 2: guy painting the van that they use in the heist,
Speaker 2: and halfway through you know, it pans back and you
Speaker 2: see how bad of a job he's doing. He just
Speaker 2: liked and he just goes anyway and he uses that
Speaker 2: van because it means it's perfect.
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. But also even if it
Speaker 1: is perfect, you can just randomly show up and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm the guy with give me all the meat, and
Speaker 1: they do that. There's not there's no other verification. Just
Speaker 1: like your fan the logo looks correct, like that feels
Speaker 1: like that's not two part authorization. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always like where spob but he's a guy,
Speaker 2: he's off to day and they're like, that's every look.
Speaker 1: Every movie that ever has the how many movies are
Speaker 1: there in existence where they have to deliver a vending
Speaker 1: machine that's actually a bomb or something like? I can
Speaker 1: think of multiple movies and in every scenario it's the
Speaker 1: same thing. What's the Schwarzenegger movie where he pretends to
Speaker 1: be a mob dude? H very early one. It's not
Speaker 1: Commando because ah, hold on, I'm undercover.
Speaker 2: I gotta search. That's fine, you can search that. I'm
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the photos mark he took yesterday. We
Speaker 2: made a you know, back in the day, they'd make
Speaker 2: these you seem a p Interest market, which showed me
Speaker 2: you would see these decks made out of palletts, we
Speaker 2: just made a deck made out of egg curtains.
Speaker 1: Well that's thousands of thousands of.
Speaker 2: Egg curtains and it's it's stable. Dude, you think like
Speaker 2: that's gonna it's not moving anywhere. That's solid.
Speaker 1: I mean it's unique. That is a unique idea, just
Speaker 1: instep repurposing stuff for other things. He's very hot right now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, raw deal, So raw deal. It's the I
Speaker 1: think for they need to like soft blow up a
Speaker 1: police station. They don't want to really kill anyone, and
Speaker 1: so they can rob a different one. I think it's
Speaker 1: the prime. It's been it's been a while. That movie
Speaker 1: came out forever ago, and like they're like all right,
Speaker 1: and then this dude rolls in and he's got like
Speaker 1: what you were just talking about. But I think in
Speaker 1: that one, the van was off, so he's got one
Speaker 1: of those snack truck looking things but it's a sketch.
Speaker 1: And he rolls up in a police station and then
Speaker 1: they're just putting the vending machine in there, and the
Speaker 1: desk sergeant's like, hey, what are you doing. Where's Bill?
Speaker 1: And he's like oh, He's say, you know, Bill, he's
Speaker 1: a loser. The guys like I waves his hand at
Speaker 1: him and then not good security. Wasn't it in the
Speaker 1: Batman movie. Wasn't the whole thing like, Oh, it's it's on,
Speaker 1: but it's not plugged in, which seems like an incredible oversight.
Speaker 1: Same thing just rolls up in there like you're not
Speaker 1: the guy I've ever seen before, ever in my life.
Speaker 1: So you're telling me that if later today Ross and I,
Speaker 1: wearing like the warrior stash that Elon wore on SNL,
Speaker 1: showed up with the truck in Smithfield somewhere one of
Speaker 1: the meat packing plans and just rolled up there and
Speaker 1: pretended like we knew what was up. You guys will
Speaker 1: give me eighty thousand pounds of meat, no questions asked.
Speaker 1: There's no security on that. That sounds like a deal man,
Speaker 1: no way, really, Why Oh.
Speaker 2: These guys just dropped off a vending machine for me.
Speaker 1: Oh is that okay? I thought that was construction so exciting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should put all us right next to you that
Speaker 1: in there. It look at all the chips, you should
Speaker 1: probably get them before they're gone. But not for the
Speaker 1: reason you think. Yeah, that's a that's like a So
Speaker 1: many movies.
Speaker 2: Get right, and it's always like it's like a super
Speaker 2: common thing, like oh, here comes Bob again, replacing the
Speaker 2: vending machine again. Like that that shouldn't be an occurrence
Speaker 2: where you're like, oh, this is happening again. You should
Speaker 2: be like, this is weird. I didn't know we needed
Speaker 2: a new machine.
Speaker 1: I think they replaced the venue machine in the break
Speaker 1: room once and it was when they decided they were
Speaker 1: going to put the healthy thing in.
Speaker 2: Dude, they did it once in like twenty years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they replaced the good machine with the machine full
Speaker 2: of like healthy stuff.
Speaker 1: Or no to be healthy or it's just much smaller
Speaker 1: versions of stuff that's quote unquote bad but for the
Speaker 1: same price. So like, so I don't want to knock
Speaker 1: on there because there's some stuff and that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: But like, that's the only vending machine replacement in the
Speaker 1: all the years that I've ever noticed at you know,
Speaker 1: at the old iHeart facility, and it hasn't blown up yet.
Speaker 1: But maybe this thing in Ross's office, well I don't know,
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that, but yeah, they have
Speaker 1: not found either of the trucks nor the meat, so
Speaker 1: we'll see what's happening there. But like, don't you guys
Speaker 1: I know there's a guy's driving right now that show up.
Speaker 1: You go to pick up a load, and could you
Speaker 1: just show up and if you like, you know, look
Speaker 1: like you knew what was going on, they would just
Speaker 1: load it without asking questions. Is there no paperwork? The
Speaker 1: whole thing is weird because like it's a trucking company
Speaker 1: they said they didn't recognize. So if I just pretend
Speaker 1: to have a trucking company name, I can have all
Speaker 1: the meat, and Ross can have all the eggs, you know,
Speaker 1: for his deck. That's actually pretty terrifying from a food
Speaker 1: handling standpoint, Just a little bit, all right, seven fourteen
Speaker 1: Cacoda Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three
Speaker 1: four seven eight seven four. Now I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: out which meat plan in North Carolina would be best.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could go wings, but you want the
Speaker 1: good stuff. You want the you know, the high flip stakes,
Speaker 1: although they don't have the shelf life necessarily unless you
Speaker 1: properly handle them, so that'd be very careful. What I
Speaker 1: was looking for a meat manifest figure out what all
Speaker 1: they got. Well, chances are if you're anywhere near the
Speaker 1: Tennessee border today and there's some dude on the side
Speaker 1: of the road selling meat going, oh no, it's from
Speaker 1: our farm. Might not be, and he's got probably be
Speaker 1: at a very big discount. All right. So I mentioned
Speaker 1: yesterday and it's in the news today about some severe
Speaker 1: weather we're on the lookout for, and unfortunately in some places,
Speaker 1: they they've already found out, so to speak, with tornado outbreaks.
Speaker 1: And so imagine my surprise then when I go on
Speaker 1: Twitter and I'm greeted with lunatics like I don't know
Speaker 1: this woman who's decided this is this is where she
Speaker 1: needs to make her political bones. Man.
Speaker 5: So the Red States are getting hit with tornadoes big
Speaker 5: time east of Oklahoma and at north in the Ohio
Speaker 5: Valley Kentucky. Again, no fem for you. Well, they're gonna
Speaker 5: have it hard. It's a pitching.
Speaker 1: No I know exactly.
Speaker 5: Oh, Lady seventeen's over there and I'm right next to
Speaker 5: the crooked woman allotment.
Speaker 1: I'll be okay, I just like this is the stuff
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't I know there were some people,
Speaker 1: but like, can you imagine going on after the Pacific
Speaker 1: Palace say, it's sure you got a lot of opinions,
Speaker 1: but no, you're laughing at literally the homeowners, and its like.
Speaker 1: I did see people on the left doing a little
Speaker 1: of that because they were rich and they didn't like them.
Speaker 1: But I can't even yeah, because the one imagine doing that.
Speaker 2: One thing that never happened, right was a giant storm,
Speaker 2: saying western North Carolina where people's homes were just flooded away.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure FEMA was definitely there to help. FEMA
Speaker 2: was there, right, because Biden was there and we had FEMA.
Speaker 2: They had FEMA, right.
Speaker 1: I remember Biden talked to somebody and they said that
Speaker 1: everything was great. Then he mentioned that, say who said that?
Speaker 1: But that's right. Yeah, I don't know about that. I
Speaker 1: don't know about that at all, lady, But yeah, you
Speaker 1: need uh Jesus or Thorsine or if you put that
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But how could you even put that out there in
Speaker 2: the universe, because I would be fear like you put
Speaker 2: that out there. First off, it's so hateful and spiteful
Speaker 2: and evil, I would just assume that I'm gonna get smited.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like that story the other day. I didn't
Speaker 1: get into it like I because I'm like, you remember
Speaker 1: the pastor story. I told you the other day, there's
Speaker 1: this really really horrible story out there of a disabled veteran. Right,
Speaker 1: so he I'm not sure exactly what caused, if his
Speaker 1: ied or got shot or what, but he ended up
Speaker 1: being partially paralyzed. Right, So he's now he's not confined
Speaker 1: to a wheelchair and having some significant mental ish excuse me,
Speaker 1: medical issues, and then he finds out, like a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, that his wife is having an affair
Speaker 1: with their pastor, and he then he kills himself. Those
Speaker 1: two go to super hell.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, being a pastor, I assume you would know
Speaker 2: that there's a portion in the Bible that says you
Speaker 2: probably shouldn't do that what you do with that kind wife.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just reading say it explicitly.
Speaker 1: You're wanting people to read, like, okay, just right now,
Speaker 1: and it's got a lot of things you're not supposed
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: I've mentioned this in social media, and I'm updating it
Speaker 2: every day. I'm reading the Bible for the first time
Speaker 2: in my life. My goal is to read it in
Speaker 2: an entire year. So three and sixty five days and
Speaker 2: every day on Twitter, on my ex account or whatever,
Speaker 2: I update what I've read and little notes and everything,
Speaker 2: and I've gotten I'm in Leviticus, and even I I
Speaker 2: am not full disclosure, not a pastor note, the theological
Speaker 2: degree or anything. I know that an Exodus it says
Speaker 2: you should not do what that guy did to that
Speaker 2: guy's wife. Oh right, there, I have gotten to that point.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he hasn't gotten to that point. Maybe I'm not.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he's in Genesis, you know he hasn't got
Speaker 2: that point.
Speaker 1: Is it? Is there maybe too many rules in that
Speaker 1: list you're referring to, Rember.
Speaker 2: I think what it is.
Speaker 1: You think there's just way too many to remember. Huh.
Speaker 2: It's like Maddi's gonna get that point yet he probably
Speaker 2: feels stupid. Now right, it's gonna get and.
Speaker 1: I still take my neighbour's stuff.
Speaker 2: Right the meat you make?
Speaker 1: The meat? Is that okay? I steal the meat.
Speaker 2: I mean, if they give it to you, do you
Speaker 2: have a.
Speaker 1: Man, I'm gonna steal it. That's okay.
Speaker 2: Though it's not good either.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, man, Yeah, it's not good.
Speaker 2: Typically it's frowned upon.
Speaker 1: How about the lord's name? But in vain? Is that okay?
Speaker 2: I would not do that?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 8: Not do.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a pastor, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I mean, you should probably know these things.
Speaker 1: Oh those rules are only for pastors.
Speaker 2: Or do they teach you that in pastor school? Don't.
Speaker 1: I never went to pastor school. I did the catechism stuff,
Speaker 1: and I seem to remember them mentioning some stuff about this,
Speaker 1: but you know it's been a while. Yeah, so like
Speaker 1: go to super Hell. You post videos where Tornado just
Speaker 1: you know, mowed through a preschool. You go to super Hell.
Speaker 1: I don't make the rules. Apparently somebody does, because Ross
Speaker 1: was reading about them and was able to report back
Speaker 1: to us. Did They didn't write him down though, right?
Speaker 2: They actually wrote down like twice believe it or not.
Speaker 2: First time there was an episode, there was an incident
Speaker 2: brought down.
Speaker 1: Law making is a messy business.
Speaker 2: I could be wrong. I mean I am an amateur
Speaker 2: in this, in this role here right right with the materials,
Speaker 2: so I could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well, hey, once you get through, I
Speaker 1: don't want to spoil it for you, but I I
Speaker 1: feel like you're on the right track there, uh with
Speaker 1: with that? Yeah? Just just sheer lunacy, man, just just
Speaker 1: evilness permeating some of this stuff, and I don't. There's
Speaker 1: so many ways you can go and just be an
Speaker 1: obnoxious a hole for political reason the purposes. People do
Speaker 1: it all day every day. It's called Twitter, and you
Speaker 1: know lots of other social media. It's a whole it's
Speaker 1: a whole genre. It' say. It's a niche thing that
Speaker 1: is unfortunately not as niche as it probably should be.
Speaker 1: So uh, just something to think about, all right. Reminder,
Speaker 1: Pete Klener will be joining us. That's coming up here
Speaker 1: at eighth five. I'll hit a break. We've got another
Speaker 1: piece of audio for you, and it's a doozy thank
Speaker 1: you New Hampshire that's coming up next. Hang On, I
Speaker 1: saw this original post. It was posted actually this was
Speaker 1: posted on the thirty first. I happen to see it
Speaker 1: over the weekend, or not over the weekend, but I
Speaker 1: like on Monday and I just saw it. It didn't
Speaker 1: have a ton of responses yet, but somebody wrote, does
Speaker 1: anyone have any random fun facts about a very niche subject.
Speaker 1: I'm bored and love learning random things, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, it's engagement farming, but I'll bite so I
Speaker 1: click in there and there's some really cool stuff So
Speaker 1: if you look at some of the top rated comments,
Speaker 1: here's a dude who knows way too much about octopuses. Ross,
Speaker 1: did you know octopuses have three hearts and their blood
Speaker 1: is blue because it's copper instead of iron. Now what
Speaker 1: are you gonna use that for? I don't know, But
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Now I do. There's some good
Speaker 1: rabbit holes. I was not familiar with linguistic relativity. Relativity hypothesis.
Speaker 1: Have you guys ever heard of this? And it's actually interesting. Basically,
Speaker 1: the grammar and vocabulary and words that are available within
Speaker 1: a particular language, within a particular era can be even
Speaker 1: though you have the same language, or at least base
Speaker 1: of language. You know, how they tell you if you
Speaker 1: ever got there, if you ever got a time machine
Speaker 1: and they deposited you in like, you know, medieval Britain,
Speaker 1: even though they're speaking English, you wouldn't really know it.
Speaker 1: You'd pick up a word here, a word there, but
Speaker 1: it would sound pretty foreign to you. Well, in the
Speaker 1: same way that it doesn't connect people through the years,
Speaker 1: it also interprets how we interpret the world because maybe
Speaker 1: we don't have words for stuff. Maybe, And if you
Speaker 1: speak any if you speak another language. This this quickly
Speaker 1: becomes very, very possible because the way that you structure sentences.
Speaker 1: It's one of the things that has really hampered my
Speaker 1: ability to improve my Spanish more so than just kind
Speaker 1: of functional conversational because like the order of how you
Speaker 1: say things and describe things is different.
Speaker 2: You see this in Vietnam as well, where like sometimes
Speaker 2: there's not an English equivalent to the word you're looking for, right.
Speaker 1: And then also you hear it even if you don't
Speaker 1: speak about you hear it when non native English speakers
Speaker 1: speak English, they put the order of the words different.
Speaker 1: So you know, instead of saying a blue thing in
Speaker 1: a lot of languages, including Spanish, you might say the
Speaker 1: thing and then describe it as blue. Does that make
Speaker 1: sense to you, all right? So you know it would
Speaker 1: be a pepper spicy, or a car blue or and
Speaker 1: not all the time. I'm not a language learning teacher,
Speaker 1: but that's an interesting hole and I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I read a few articles after that it makes sense
Speaker 1: and and and you see examples of it when we're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what do they mean by a
Speaker 1: well regulated militia. That's the big one I think in
Speaker 1: the US that we can look at because they don't
Speaker 1: mean what you think militia means. So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: But it was pretty high level stuff for the most part,
Speaker 1: like you know, people who clearly were you know, had
Speaker 1: an immense amount of knowledge in very specific topics due
Speaker 1: to their job or training, whatever it is, and wanted
Speaker 1: to share it. And I spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: digging through it. And then some poor women came along
Speaker 1: and and here was the deal. They were. They were
Speaker 1: clouded on her and joking with her. And it could
Speaker 1: have just been kind of a nerdy thing because she's back.
Speaker 1: She was pushing back after what she posted. It's like
Speaker 1: you all suck. I just thought it was a fun fact. Ah,
Speaker 1: But then somebody. I don't think people started going out
Speaker 1: for some sort of racist reason. I think that people
Speaker 1: defending her were trying to speak it into existence because
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize she was black. I just didn't,
Speaker 1: because it was just why I read what she wrote,
Speaker 1: and I started laughing, as did everybody else. So are
Speaker 1: you ready for the fun fact? You're ready to have
Speaker 1: a fact that's a lot of fun. Here we go.
Speaker 1: Our planet doesn't get heavier with buildings because all the
Speaker 1: materials used to build them. We're already here.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, it's true. It's a good point.
Speaker 2: It does not.
Speaker 1: I mean technically without getting into like meteorites. And so
Speaker 1: let me let me do some Hey, Ross, do me
Speaker 1: a favor. Stand up, would you share?
Speaker 2: No problem? All right, I'll stand up.
Speaker 1: A big thing is he loves his chair. All right. Now,
Speaker 1: on the count of three, I'm gonna want you to
Speaker 1: jump in the air like you're doing a vertical to
Speaker 1: comboy out. Okay, sure, all right, so uh and I
Speaker 1: supposely what happens here? All right? Ready? One, two, three?
Speaker 1: Go oh oh, I'm still in the air. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: the earth is lighter. Can you feel it? Not you,
Speaker 1: you won't know you're up in the air. Now you're down.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a big jump. No, that was it.
Speaker 1: There's some hangtime there, Michael Jordan, good for you twenty
Speaker 1: eight every morning. That was true. I didn't realize you
Speaker 1: guys all feel that where the earth got lighter for
Speaker 1: a moment.
Speaker 2: My concern is that we're all going to jump at
Speaker 2: the same time when you do this radio bit, when
Speaker 2: you're explaining, and everyone else is gonna jump at the
Speaker 2: same time.
Speaker 1: Like this the end of an eighties sitcom where they
Speaker 1: do the freeze frame jump in the area. So if
Speaker 1: everyone jumps at the same time. Hearing that, I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: My concern is that the Earth is going to flip over.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no. Wouldn't it shoot up in
Speaker 1: the air, right, it would shoot up in the air
Speaker 1: all the weights Now if or do you have to
Speaker 1: if you did it all around the world at the
Speaker 1: same time, maybe, But let's say that just in the
Speaker 1: western hemisphere we.
Speaker 2: Did it, full disclosure. Not a physicist, so not at all.
Speaker 1: There's no there's no learning going on here. Yeah, yeah, slowly, slowly,
Speaker 1: I don't think will do it readjust to the Earth's
Speaker 1: mass here.
Speaker 2: They don't pay me to stand dude.
Speaker 1: And and let me just give you some of the responses,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't people just outright yelling atter. It was
Speaker 1: people adding different theories to it. So everyone was having fun,
Speaker 1: all right. So see if you can answer some of
Speaker 1: these questions they attempted to use to debunker or just
Speaker 1: random facts. Uh, this guy one of the And by
Speaker 1: the way, I love this because the count's name is
Speaker 1: Ross Creations. But I don't think it's you uh, he wrote.
Speaker 1: A response, he goes, things don't stop existing when your
Speaker 1: eyes are closed. They're still there, but your eyelids are
Speaker 1: blocking your view. Right, it's that hateful stuff. It's just
Speaker 1: people having fun. Man.
Speaker 2: But but it is a good way to hide though,
Speaker 2: if you do that, if you if you cover your face.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, no one could.
Speaker 1: You, I wrote. Every kid learns that right with the
Speaker 1: blankets early on, right right now, the monsters can't catch you.
Speaker 1: Have any monsters have been under your bed, going oh
Speaker 1: if only oh, why do you have to have blankets? Okay,
Speaker 1: this guy writes, but when we lose weight, wouldn't earth
Speaker 1: be lighter?
Speaker 2: I have a theory that when when one person loses weight,
Speaker 2: another person in the universe gives it to another. Poor bastard.
Speaker 2: That's really a theory I have.
Speaker 1: So whatever whatever horrible thing you were gonna shove in
Speaker 1: your face, you avoided it because you're not doing that,
Speaker 1: and that it was there for somebody else to shove
Speaker 1: in their face.
Speaker 2: I think nothing is wasted, and I think it's an
Speaker 2: evil thing that happens, like, hey, I've lost all this weight,
Speaker 2: and there's somebody else like some and somewhere other part
Speaker 2: of the earth. They're like, why did they gain twenty pounds?
Speaker 2: It's not fair?
Speaker 1: All right? How about this? How about trees? Plants? A
Speaker 1: little one gets bigger? What up with that? That's a
Speaker 1: good point, Caleb, This is fun again. It's not mean.
Speaker 2: Now now the tree getting bigger, when did that increase
Speaker 2: the weight of the earth.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what he's saying, because it's like the reverse.
Speaker 1: What about yeah, plant small one, why it get big?
Speaker 1: That's good stuff right there. When Elon sends a rocket up,
Speaker 1: your your theory falls apart. No, that would be in
Speaker 1: keeping with their theory, wouldn't that. She was talking about buildings,
Speaker 1: not rockets that leave. And it just goes on and on,
Speaker 1: and the people are like literally trying to run calculations. Okay,
Speaker 1: but if you do shoot six people up in a
Speaker 1: rocket and people have, you know, one hundred babies a
Speaker 1: second or whatever in this country, then technically it would
Speaker 1: be heavier. And why don't babies add to the mass
Speaker 1: because the stork brings them from heaven? Come on, sir,
Speaker 1: what are you even doing here? There's a really funny thread.
Speaker 1: I'm a retweet right now. I already retweeted it, but
Speaker 1: I'll retweet it again. All right, reposted, Yeah, there's I
Speaker 1: could do the whole show just reading the comments, but
Speaker 1: I will not force that upon you. So what are
Speaker 1: our weather odds today? Do we know? Oh? He's there?
Speaker 1: Hey look at that? Hey what's up? Oh you know
Speaker 1: it's Friday, It's Friday. Testing this woman's theory. Uh. She
Speaker 1: was telling the internet, there's a hey, any signs fun
Speaker 1: facts anyone knows? And she wrote, our planet doesn't get
Speaker 1: heavier with buildings because all the material used to build
Speaker 1: them already here. Interesting. So when a clouds, when the
Speaker 1: clouds are holding a bunch of rain but they've not
Speaker 1: yet deposited, technically the Earth is lighter at that moment,
Speaker 1: right at the surface. Yes, I'm not a science unmars
Speaker 1: things here.
Speaker 8: I'm wondering if the surface I would say, yes, right,
Speaker 8: and the clouds are not considered get into the something sphere,
Speaker 8: the weather meteor school whatever. It was a long time ago,
Speaker 8: So don't expect much of that out of me. But
Speaker 8: how about warm? This is an easy one, pretty wide
Speaker 8: temperature range. Yesterday upper seventies in the triad to the
Speaker 8: lot mid eighties across the triangle, and today I think
Speaker 8: we all get into the middle maybe upper eighties, and
Speaker 8: in record territory, so eighty eight the record at Raleigh.
Speaker 8: I think that's attainable already in the seventies and many
Speaker 8: spots this morning. For the Triad, the record for the
Speaker 8: date is eighty six, so maybe a little tougher there,
Speaker 8: but either way, warm afternoon. Satellit pictures sewing clouds, there's
Speaker 8: some breaks of sunshine. I think that's about a partial
Speaker 8: sun today and tomorrow when tomorrow we'll get into the
Speaker 8: mid upper eighties again, I don't think ninety, but still
Speaker 8: in record territory before the chain comes in. That's gonna
Speaker 8: be Sunday afternoon. But again, mid upper eighties are still possible.
Speaker 8: I think it'll be a little cooler, maybe low eighties
Speaker 8: for the Triad.
Speaker 1: Have your rainfall possible, I don't think severe.
Speaker 8: We are in the margin at risk of severe storms
Speaker 8: Sunday Sunday night and then showers Monday and some Chilia
Speaker 8: air coming in. We space spend Tuesday morning in a
Speaker 8: little bit thirties, so I might be talking about a
Speaker 8: little frost and in the mountains maybe even some upper twenties,
Speaker 8: so little chili blast coming in.
Speaker 1: It's gonna beautiful next week.
Speaker 8: We'll lose some of this humidity that's around now. You know,
Speaker 8: temperatures right now in the seventies around the triangle, with
Speaker 8: due points getting close to the seventies too. I mean,
Speaker 8: this is an air mass that almost has like this
Speaker 8: summertime feel to it, even around Winston Salem, Greensboro. Low
Speaker 8: seventies and mid sixties du points pretty warm for a
Speaker 8: Friday morning in early April.
Speaker 1: Casey, oh yeah, oh yeah, this ain't normal. Nope, it's abnormal. Man,
Speaker 1: all right, appreciate it, Thank you very much. Ray yep Ross. Somebody,
Speaker 1: one of our listeners I think, has a pretty good
Speaker 1: theory on your what if we all jumped at once?
Speaker 1: He surmises the Earth would spin faster because less drag.
Speaker 1: That might be a good point. But if we were
Speaker 1: really what if we all ran in the opposite direction
Speaker 1: of the spin of the Earth in place at the same.
Speaker 2: Time, I'd be like the flash, we could light.
Speaker 1: We could do what Superman did, right, Hey, you go
Speaker 1: back in time? Yeah, well that's what we run the
Speaker 1: other way. So but if we run that way, like,
Speaker 1: shouldn't we age faster? It turns into what's his Name's
Speaker 1: planet with the big waves at that point. I don't know. Again,
Speaker 1: we're not physicists, we're you know, just people think about
Speaker 1: things logically. All right, it's seven forty seven. Hang on,
Speaker 1: what if we all just stand on the Earth and
Speaker 1: we all excel in one direction? Could that speed or
Speaker 1: slow the spin of the Earth.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's very concerning because many people say the
Speaker 2: Earth is flat. Many scientists say this, many many do.
Speaker 2: Many scientists say the Earth is flat. So if we
Speaker 2: all jump at the same time, there's a concern that
Speaker 2: we'll push ourselves away from the Sun.
Speaker 1: Well, look, if we're operating under this new premise, if
Speaker 1: what if we're all towards the edge, then I think
Speaker 1: it flips over. I think you're you're earlier concerner.
Speaker 2: It could bring in a new ice age.
Speaker 1: Though. What if when we're excelling, instead of just blowing,
Speaker 1: we do the thing where it's a deep breath so
Speaker 1: it's all heated air, and then we excel it like
Speaker 1: you do when it's cold out to your breath. All right,
Speaker 1: So full help the ice walls, right, full disclosure. I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about thermodynamics. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: I say is to be honest, So I can't answer that.
Speaker 1: So these are these are untested theories, but I would
Speaker 1: say be careful. Just because you can, it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you should. Famous scientists said that one time, the retrospect
Speaker 1: dude was right, why can't we just have fun with
Speaker 1: people having to turn and oh they're attacking? Or does this?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, nah, most of the people clowning on
Speaker 1: her are not white people anyway, and they're they're like
Speaker 1: nice clowning on her. It's almost it's you know what
Speaker 1: it is, it's a blesser, bless your heart moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she don't need to make it a race thing,
Speaker 2: like you're not going to assume automatically, oh that's from
Speaker 2: a black person or a white person. Or it used
Speaker 2: to be like, well, why that's a crazy thing you
Speaker 2: just said.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think that's a dumb person. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: that's somebody who saw something on TikTok and then cut
Speaker 1: and pasted it. And later in the response because she's
Speaker 1: like she keeps posting. She literally said she saw it
Speaker 1: on TikTok and thought that she would share, and why,
Speaker 1: you know, this is why we can't have nice things.
Speaker 1: And I partially agree with her, But it was pretty
Speaker 1: clear from that thread that the people who were posting
Speaker 1: this stuff were like really into the topics, and it
Speaker 1: was a lot of stuff I had never heard of,
Speaker 1: and I book barked a couple of them. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I probably could use that factoid in the story coming up.
Speaker 1: But nah, Then when a different well was see what
Speaker 1: Pete Callender thinks. He's probably more. He probably knows about
Speaker 1: thermo dynamics, right, Maybe, I don't know. We'll ask him.
Speaker 2: I mean he went to MIT, but I think he
Speaker 2: was just the janitor.
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't like solving unprovable theorems on.
Speaker 2: A way I mean in his spare time, yes, okay, and.
Speaker 1: Then took full credit when confronted.
Speaker 2: Right, No, he ran away from it. It did not
Speaker 2: want the responsibility. So I'm just here to clean the floors.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing here, okay.
Speaker 1: Hey. Also, I know more now about meat shipping. And
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I know a little some about
Speaker 1: meat production, well some some, but I the only here's
Speaker 1: what I know about shipping meat. We ours is alive
Speaker 1: when we do it, and your only job when the
Speaker 1: loader gets there is to make sure he's not making
Speaker 1: the cows run, not speedloading them, because they can get
Speaker 1: injured and or they lose weight doing that. But more so,
Speaker 1: you don't want to get injured because if you deliver
Speaker 1: a downer cow, then you probably not gonna get paid
Speaker 1: for it. So your job is to basic watch the
Speaker 1: truck driver, make sure that they're not speedloading the cows,
Speaker 1: and there's pandemonium, and then that's it, and what happens
Speaker 1: after that none of my business. Tell I want to eat.
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, I did not know about
Speaker 1: how you could just show up at a meat packing
Speaker 1: plant with a truck and be like, hey, I'm the
Speaker 1: meat guy, give me all the meat. Because somebody did
Speaker 1: that with two trucks tole eighty thousand dollars worth of meat.
Speaker 1: So from a series of our listeners out there who
Speaker 1: are in the trucking industry, every single one of them
Speaker 1: has laid out in detail why it had to be
Speaker 1: an inside job or you didn't just show up and
Speaker 1: they give you eighty thousand pounds.
Speaker 2: What if it was super complex though, like we said,
Speaker 2: with a fake truck and a fake manifest and a
Speaker 2: fake badge and all kind of stuff, All.
Speaker 1: Right, So here's the one guy. They don't do meat,
Speaker 1: but it's some sort of food. He doesn't specify what
Speaker 1: it is. And he said that we have a driver.
Speaker 1: He goes, one of the concerns that we have is
Speaker 1: there is a thing where drivers will essentially be doubling
Speaker 1: up to avoid the rules, unrest and and they will
Speaker 1: like swap out play. I don't again, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm reading this from people seem to know what they're
Speaker 1: talking about. And he goes, So, in a situation where
Speaker 1: we had somebody show up and it was not a
Speaker 1: driver we were familiar with, even if it was a
Speaker 1: company we might be familiar with, our policy would be
Speaker 1: to check with the company to make sure that they
Speaker 1: have the right driver. And I don't know what that
Speaker 1: process looks like, but that would make sense to me.
Speaker 1: We didn't get a chance to chat with him last
Speaker 1: week because he had to go like sol Middle East
Speaker 1: crisis stuff or whatever. I don't know, but he's back.
Speaker 1: Our radio buddy to the South, Pete Calendar Middays WBT Pete.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man?
Speaker 3: Oh nothing, I don't not a lot nothing.
Speaker 1: Thank you for saving last week or whatever you were doing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's cool. You can talk about the Dinga swords.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't get to.
Speaker 1: Luckily, the news cycle has not forgotten us, and they
Speaker 1: had one or two things first though. I got I like,
Speaker 1: when you see this, do you see the story of
Speaker 1: the dude in Asheville who took him machete and decided
Speaker 1: he was gonna rob a grocery store.
Speaker 3: I did see the headline. I did not read this.
Speaker 1: See what he stole? Do you see what he stole?
Speaker 3: Was this the perfume thief? U?
Speaker 1: He sold a cinnabon and incense. And I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you that's the most Ashville crime I've ever heard, right,
Speaker 1: go steal? So do you miss it a little? Now
Speaker 1: that you're not you know, square in the land of
Speaker 1: crazy and you know, back in Charlotte whatever, do you
Speaker 1: miss a little of this? Dude? If you if I
Speaker 1: asked one of the ais, I'm like, show me a
Speaker 1: picture of a person who would steal incense with a machete.
Speaker 1: I'm like that, you nailed it, You got it, that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've got the the you know, the
Speaker 3: Ashralian you know, more than likely anti Second Amendment aspect
Speaker 3: of it. Right, so he's carrying it rather than a
Speaker 3: firearm because you know, anti dunn while he commits the
Speaker 3: the crime of stealing the incense. But also a quick question,
Speaker 3: if you're stealing a cinnabon, wouldn't that serve the role
Speaker 3: of the incense.
Speaker 1: I think this dude was just high a f Let's
Speaker 1: just be honest, because they you know what, you know,
Speaker 1: how they cottom? He went around the corner. He's sitting
Speaker 1: there eating the cinnabon.
Speaker 3: Right, so got the monkeys? Yeah and yeah right? So
Speaker 3: but then but then why the incense?
Speaker 1: Also? Why are they selling incense at grocery stores in Asheville?
Speaker 3: Really are you asking that question?
Speaker 1: Come on, man, that can't be that much demand. Is
Speaker 1: it in the Petulie aisle? What ale is that in?
Speaker 1: I've been there. I've been in Harris Teeter a couple
Speaker 1: of times in Asheville. I don't remember there being an
Speaker 1: incense aisle? Is that near the crystals? Is that by thestal?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Ingles? Also they've got them there. If you go
Speaker 3: down the aisle where usually they've got like, uh, the
Speaker 3: facial tissue, right, cleanexes and stuff or maybe automotive and
Speaker 3: you go down that aisle you will find all of
Speaker 3: the candles and fabreezes and all of the plugins and
Speaker 3: all of that stuff, and they usually have a couple
Speaker 3: of uh.
Speaker 1: Ross, did you know that? Did you know where the
Speaker 1: incense was at the grocery store? Ross had no idea.
Speaker 1: It's weird, you do you? You know you know exactly where?
Speaker 2: Well, you know when in Rome where it was?
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, so I love that story. Now what
Speaker 1: happens now? What prompted him to this crime? If not
Speaker 1: a case of the munchies and the need for some incense,
Speaker 1: perhaps looming incense tariffs? I don't know, Maybe that's possible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, want to get it, you want to get
Speaker 3: ahead of that curve.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming I was looking at your prep sheet here
Speaker 1: because you allow you, you grant me access to it,
Speaker 1: and I was just a giver. It just says new
Speaker 1: World order getting liberated from my money? Is then it?
Speaker 3: Pariff?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Well, this is what I am told we are, we
Speaker 3: are embarking upon. We are Dare I call it a reset?
Speaker 3: A grain reset? Maybe do we have the.
Speaker 1: Red button that Hillary brought to putin or not?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe he will let us borrow it
Speaker 3: back if they still have it, or maybe it got
Speaker 3: put out at a Moscow yard sale.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but probably yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the yeah, I mean this is to hear
Speaker 3: the to hear the defenders of what we are now
Speaker 3: going to be subjected to, barring any kind of either
Speaker 3: voluntary walk back from the administration or any kind of
Speaker 3: effort to block it from a Republican Congress, which I
Speaker 3: am doubtful either of those things will occur unless sufficient
Speaker 3: pressure is brought to bear, then yeah, it's gonna it
Speaker 3: will reset the entire global trade order. And for people
Speaker 3: that are on sort of the Bernie side of Bernie
Speaker 3: Sanders on the on that command control economy, you know,
Speaker 3: we can manage all of this stuff, and you know protectionism,
Speaker 3: and that's sort of if you are on that side
Speaker 3: of the economic theory scale, this is this is what
Speaker 3: you want to see. And we're hearing people say we're
Speaker 3: going to have to go through short term pain in
Speaker 3: order to make this correction. So they're telling you like
Speaker 3: you will, like you don't need I've seen people saying
Speaker 3: you don't need to buy that smartphone, you don't need
Speaker 3: to buy that gaming console, and it reminded me of
Speaker 3: something that I heard from the New World Order guys,
Speaker 3: right when they were talking about you will you will
Speaker 3: own nothing and be happy. Right, And that's what Now
Speaker 3: I'm being pitched from the people that saw that World
Speaker 3: Order as a as a threat. And now they're making
Speaker 3: the same arguments to me because this is going to
Speaker 3: America stronger again or poorer?
Speaker 1: Not sure?
Speaker 3: And yeah, this is it.
Speaker 1: And I said this, Do you think America was getting
Speaker 1: fundamental finish you?
Speaker 3: No? No, I said this before. Like what this comes
Speaker 3: down to is like I am the fish in the
Speaker 3: water not knowing it's wet. Because I have always understood
Speaker 3: high tariffs on imports and such to be a tax
Speaker 3: on American people. I have always understood the smooth Holly
Speaker 3: terr Effact to be a an accelerant and a prolonger
Speaker 3: of the Great Depression. And maybe all of that stuff
Speaker 3: is false, right, Maybe the only person that doesn't think
Speaker 3: that was true was Donald Trump. And his view on
Speaker 3: trade deficits is not kind of crazy, but is in
Speaker 3: fact the truth, which is that if we haven't trade imbalanced,
Speaker 3: then that means the other country that we are buying
Speaker 3: stuff from their companies and adding stuff for those purchases
Speaker 3: that that is somehow ripping us off.
Speaker 1: Okay, so just some people are clear when you when
Speaker 1: the chart that you probably saw following the press conference
Speaker 1: on Monday was not simply a percentage of a tariff.
Speaker 1: So it's really easy to point out that the US
Speaker 1: percentage for cars imported from Europe is two point five percent,
Speaker 1: exported to Europe is ten percent. However, when those numbers
Speaker 1: start to grow is for the thing that Pete was
Speaker 1: just talking about, because the calculations in the White House
Speaker 1: also included things like that taxes built in there, and
Speaker 1: and also just because we let's say, even if we
Speaker 1: have an even amount of tariffs, if we if one
Speaker 1: country buys more than the other, then there's likely going
Speaker 1: to be a trade imbalance. It's not as simple as that.
Speaker 1: And they worked that percentage in with the numbers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but really it's that simple. But you yeah, explained it.
Speaker 3: That is what happened. They they took the trade deficit,
Speaker 3: which okay, let's say you're the rich nation. I'm the
Speaker 3: poor nation. All I produce basically is raw goods. That's
Speaker 3: all I can muster. Right, My people make a dollar
Speaker 3: a year. We are very poor. Okay, So we go
Speaker 3: and we get all of this stuff out of the ground,
Speaker 3: and you need this stuff out of the ground because
Speaker 3: you use a lot of it in your manufacturing or whatever.
Speaker 3: So we sell you a lot of the raw goods,
Speaker 3: but we have no money, so we're not buying the
Speaker 3: stuff that you're making because your stuff you're making is
Speaker 3: way too expensive for us to purchase. So we don't
Speaker 3: purchase much from you, if anything at all. That's a
Speaker 3: trade deficit, and in Donald Trump's mind that means I
Speaker 3: am ripping you off. This is what makes it so crazy.
Speaker 3: And then they say, do.
Speaker 1: You think that there are fundamental trade imbalances with countries
Speaker 1: that are not surely that though? A yeah, okay, right,
Speaker 1: And that's.
Speaker 3: Why I said, if he wants to go after like,
Speaker 3: I've never been a proponent of trying to getting most
Speaker 3: Favored Nation status, I've not I understood what the argument was,
Speaker 3: maybe they'll be less commy and they'll you know, they'll
Speaker 3: adopt free market ways and all of this. But it
Speaker 3: was it was a bad deal and it has been
Speaker 3: and they've taken advantage for ever since. And so there's
Speaker 3: no there's no point in continuing that trade relationship. We
Speaker 3: never would have traded like that with the Soviets. But
Speaker 3: China's comments too, So why are we doing this? Right? So,
Speaker 3: I'm all in favor of true reciprocal tariffs. Right, if
Speaker 3: a country is blocking access of our products and services,
Speaker 3: which by the way, that Trump formula did not account
Speaker 3: for either, if they're blocking access of our companies into
Speaker 3: their market, then we can block access to them. That's fair. Right,
Speaker 3: But when you take a country like South Korea and
Speaker 3: their tariffs are like two percent i'm sorry, less than
Speaker 3: one percent, like point seventy nine, and you hit them
Speaker 3: with a ten percent tariff, that's not reciprocal any longer. Right,
Speaker 3: You've got some zero tariffs on us and we're hitting
Speaker 3: them with Some countries have surpluses and we're hitting them
Speaker 3: with tariffs.
Speaker 1: That's right. But if but if if the simple active
Speaker 1: import adds both a tariff and a vat, which is
Speaker 1: what a lot of this is like, I'll give you
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. If you go to most
Speaker 1: countries in Central America, South America, chances are if you
Speaker 1: buy an American product in most of those countries, you're
Speaker 1: going to pay about a thirty percent pop on it
Speaker 1: and it's like and half of its import or tariff
Speaker 1: and the other half is that okay, So if not
Speaker 1: for the import, the that would not be attached because
Speaker 1: what these countries do is they largely waive the VAT
Speaker 1: for their own products. So it's it is it is
Speaker 1: a double edged thing as or as far with the
Speaker 1: final consumers so well.
Speaker 3: And that's why that's why this formula that the Trump
Speaker 3: administration is using is inappropriate because they're not targeting individual
Speaker 3: countries for those types of that's that they apply on
Speaker 3: certain products or others and whatever they are.
Speaker 1: They are liquor liquor VAT pay an American bottle of liquor,
Speaker 1: but they're not pay on a bottle of liquor from
Speaker 1: either that country or some country and its near vicinity.
Speaker 1: So about a bottle of liquor and Nicaragua and it
Speaker 1: was produced in Honduras, I wouldn't get the VAT. And
Speaker 1: it is only because it's not produced there that the
Speaker 1: that attaches. That's their argument just to be great. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a good one, but maybe.
Speaker 3: Right they're they're saying, but they're saying that that is
Speaker 3: captured inside of the exports minus imports. That's that's what
Speaker 3: they're saying, is that that captures all of the quote cheating.
Speaker 3: In other words, the trade deficit captures that trading. That's
Speaker 3: their argument, and it does it. It's it captures way
Speaker 3: more than that. It captures any kind of an imbalance
Speaker 3: where I may be exporting to you. This is why, Like, look,
Speaker 3: if you want to go and do reciprocal terrorists to
Speaker 3: address the thing that you're talking about, then I'm all
Speaker 3: for it. Becau's fair. It's fair. However, just simply saying
Speaker 3: we export more than we import, therefore we're getting robbed,
Speaker 3: we're getting cheated, that's not that's not correct.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Well, what's gonna happen? Stock market
Speaker 1: did its thing yesterday. I I I do appreciate now
Speaker 1: that we're willing to use the word recession, because I remember,
Speaker 1: remember we stopped using that word time, good time. But
Speaker 1: they're going to be quick on it. The problem is
Speaker 1: is there's a lot of very interesting arguments and discussions
Speaker 1: to be had, and so I what do I do.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wonder what MSNBC and CNBC you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Because I'm dumb, I'll put I'll stick a quarter in
Speaker 1: that crotch punching machine once in a while, and low
Speaker 1: and behold. I go on there and thank god, I
Speaker 1: went to the grocery store Monday, Pete, because apparently, ever
Speaker 1: since the Tuesday press conference, some lunar tick was saying
Speaker 1: that groceries are up one hundred and fifty percent. M
Speaker 1: have you been to the grocery store last week? Ross says,
Speaker 1: it's not that way in wake Forest yet, But I
Speaker 1: don't know. I heard it on my true.
Speaker 3: I have not been to the grocery store since Liberation Day.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now look, look here's the thing. I don't know what
Speaker 3: this is going to do. Nobody does. That's that's the uncertainty.
Speaker 3: That's what has the markets worried, is because nobody knows
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. And you've got miss or mixed
Speaker 3: messaging coming out of the White House, coming out of
Speaker 3: the Republicans on Capitol Hill. Nobody really understands what's going on.
Speaker 3: It's chaos. And then you have people that are like, well,
Speaker 3: that's Donald Trump's signature negotiation style, and maybe it is,
Speaker 3: and maybe that's what he's doing, but he's saying it's
Speaker 3: not negotiation this is not up for negotiation, so I
Speaker 3: don't know. And then there's the question did he even
Speaker 3: have the legal authority to do this, because I would
Speaker 3: submit he does not. This is there is no there's
Speaker 3: no global emergency that requires the executive to act without
Speaker 3: the power and backing of Congress to impose tariffs. That
Speaker 3: is a congressional.
Speaker 1: Duty except for historical but it's not always been. And
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand the argument that, well, if it's
Speaker 1: not an emergency situation, then he should go through the
Speaker 1: slower process. But presidents, every president has done stuff right,
Speaker 1: whether they're sanctioning Venezuela or Russia. And what do they
Speaker 1: do it with. They do it with tariffs. They do
Speaker 1: it with those things. And so Barack Obama could roll
Speaker 1: out and be like, we're mad at so and so
Speaker 1: and so we're either going to have a tariff or
Speaker 1: moratorium in some cases, and that is a unilateral action
Speaker 1: by the president.
Speaker 3: Assigning sanctions to a foreign hostile nation is not the
Speaker 3: same as doing a global tariff on every single country.
Speaker 1: If you think the country again I'm just devil's advocate here,
Speaker 1: if you think that they are ripping you off through
Speaker 1: hostile trade, practices, which isn't always tariffs. Uh, you know China,
Speaker 1: Remember China's done up and all that steel.
Speaker 3: If you want to target, if you want to target that,
Speaker 3: target them. But if you want to target a single
Speaker 3: country for dumping, then you go after the single target, right,
Speaker 3: or you just cut off all trade with that country
Speaker 3: whatever specifically. But what you're doing is you're creating an
Speaker 3: entire regime, the whole framework for the entire globe. Right,
Speaker 3: And that is beyond the scope. So what are we
Speaker 3: saying that we have one guy, We have a president
Speaker 3: that gets elected and therefore he can then essentially raise
Speaker 3: taxes on consumers in America. He can hold global trade
Speaker 3: without any kind of checker balance on that. I do
Speaker 3: not believe that's what the founders intended when they took
Speaker 3: all of the financial power and nested it in the house.
Speaker 1: Right. But to be fair, the founders at the time,
Speaker 1: and for many many years after, the country was essentially
Speaker 1: funded by tariffs. Correct, so approved by Congress. Correct, Yes,
Speaker 1: but that's we plan. And then so we got away
Speaker 1: from that, we're like, well, we're not going to do
Speaker 1: this is not gonna be our main funding mechanism, even
Speaker 1: though we have the financial market that most producers in
Speaker 1: most countries, in most places of the world want to
Speaker 1: be a part of. Hey, real quick, I just got
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. But this hell whole country, imaginary country you're
Speaker 1: running Pete's stand or whatever it is. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: I'm not going to buy your stuff and you can't
Speaker 1: afford to buy my Can my tourists? Can? I can
Speaker 1: let us tourist still come over there and act obnoxious
Speaker 1: and entitled at resorts where you're going to waste more
Speaker 1: food in the day than most people eating a month?
Speaker 3: Is that a way we do that?
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 3: Where a year?
Speaker 1: It'll be great? All right, Pete, I got a roll man,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much on tariff discussion. Sorry about your
Speaker 1: money liberated? All right, We'll talk to Pete once again
Speaker 1: next week and be right back. For those of you
Speaker 1: who are now upset with Pete's take on tariffs, why
Speaker 1: are you yelling at me? Yell at Pete? Do it
Speaker 1: on Twitter? He loves that. He loves going back and
Speaker 1: forth with people on Twitter yelling at me he's dumb.
Speaker 1: Or later it'll be on the air. You can call
Speaker 1: in the streaming them between noon and three. But question
Speaker 1: my child, I don't know, you know what, Let's get
Speaker 1: an arbory. Let's get a tiebreaker in here. Let's get
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's take on terror show.
Speaker 7: How far does China have to go, how much more repression,
Speaker 7: how big a trade deficit and loss of jobs for
Speaker 7: the American worker, and how much more dangerous proliferation has
Speaker 7: to exist before members of this House of Representatives will
Speaker 7: say I will not endorse the status quo. Oh, okay,
Speaker 7: As I mentioned, it's about jobs, proliferation, and human rights.
Speaker 7: And there are those who say we shouldn't link human
Speaker 7: rights in trade and proliferation and trade.
Speaker 1: I disagree.
Speaker 7: Oh, but if we just want to take up this
Speaker 7: issue on the basis of economics alone, indeed, China should
Speaker 7: not receive Most Favored Nation status, all right, for several
Speaker 7: reasons that I'd like to go into it. To her,
Speaker 7: I'd like to call the attention of our colleagues to
Speaker 7: this chart on the status quo that the business community
Speaker 7: is asking each and every one of you, to each
Speaker 7: and every one of us to endorse today.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, this is not what I expected when
Speaker 1: I saw this audio here. So Nancy Pelosi, seemingly breaking
Speaker 1: from really her party status and all right, go on, ma'am,
Speaker 1: I am inspired.
Speaker 7: Now we have a thirty four billion dollar trade deficit
Speaker 7: with China. The nineteen ninety five figure.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what that's the most recent one you have.
Speaker 1: That's so weird. Why is that the most recent one
Speaker 1: you have?
Speaker 7: Will be over forty billion dollars for nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 7: Since the Tenement Square massacre, this figure has increased one
Speaker 7: thousand percent from three and a half billion then to
Speaker 7: about thirty four billion dollars now. In terms of tariffs,
Speaker 7: it's think it's interesting to note that the average US
Speaker 7: MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming into the United States
Speaker 7: is two percent.
Speaker 1: All right, well, look, I'm not going to play the
Speaker 1: whole thing ross. That's a woman changed right right, clearly,
Speaker 1: Clearly she recognizes and has some concerns with what's going on.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think she sounded more youthful
Speaker 1: in quite some time. So I don't know what it
Speaker 1: is that's working out.
Speaker 2: It's crazy to see her in nineteen ninety six. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: it's it's crazy to see Nancy Pelosi in nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: six looking like that.
Speaker 1: What does that have to do with ninety six. I
Speaker 1: don't understand.
Speaker 2: No, no, nineteen.
Speaker 1: Wait are you saying that that audio is not from
Speaker 1: this week?
Speaker 3: No it is not.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, super confused.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was so duped, man. I thought she just
Speaker 1: got a hair dyed, right, wasn't drinking that yesterday?
Speaker 2: A Man's Epic and the botox and all the films.
Speaker 1: In California acail Man. Yeah, so you're oh, so she
Speaker 1: felt all that same way. That literally is Trump's basic
Speaker 1: position right now, but in ninety six it's different. Now,
Speaker 1: how's it what we're not dealing with literally China?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's twenty twenty five now, so.
Speaker 1: Right, I got that calendar. So so you're just you're
Speaker 1: just pointing out, it's been thirty plus years. What what
Speaker 1: What has fundamentally changed in thirty years? Not really? Our
Speaker 1: tariff and taxing policies not much, pretty pretty much the same.
Speaker 1: Some go up, some go down. We may never we
Speaker 1: may never know what drove this woman into the political wilderness.
Speaker 1: But very sad to hear that. You know what it is?
Speaker 2: She's pissed off, probably for the same reason Pete is.
Speaker 2: She probably gets all her clothes from shine or Sheen
Speaker 2: or however you pronounce it.
Speaker 1: The woman with nine dollars pints of ice cream in
Speaker 1: her fridge is buying from the website that I see.
Speaker 1: All the girls on TikTok do they know better?
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, women and Pete, they love the shine.
Speaker 2: They love it.
Speaker 1: I don't even know that's pronounced that she is, Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: they love it, the t MoU and shine or sheen.
Speaker 1: That's all I knew. Here's what I know. Every time,
Speaker 1: like one of the favorite genres on social media is
Speaker 1: somebody's you know, they order some dress, but they order
Speaker 1: some anything right, and it shows up and it's so
Speaker 1: clearly not what they ordered or such garbage. Then they
Speaker 1: make a sad video right where here's the picture of
Speaker 1: the listing. Here's what I got. And it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't even get into that content. I never watched it.
Speaker 1: There's how I keep getting it suggested to me, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, you just you keep getting punched in the
Speaker 1: mouth that many times. I I just believe you like
Speaker 1: getting punched in the mouth.
Speaker 2: I didn't know she had that issue as Team You,
Speaker 2: because Marky loves Machine. We have so manychine bags and
Speaker 2: she's never had an issue with anything from there.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I ever, so I think the main issue is team
Speaker 2: you for sure. Okay, but we can agree that Pete
Speaker 2: buys his clothes from there.
Speaker 1: And at Harris Teeter in the in the Mystic Crystal
Speaker 1: Aisle or whatever, which he seemed to know a lot about.
Speaker 1: Not something I run across. I heard the I heard
Speaker 1: the the spiritual crystals at Wegman's all Bills themed. So
Speaker 1: that's good.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to check that out. And while there,
Speaker 2: while in there, I'll just I'll have to pick up
Speaker 2: some cookies.
Speaker 1: What why would you? You don't have to? This is
Speaker 1: going back to our Cinamon discussion, forcing you I have
Speaker 1: to before the tariffs kick in. Oh, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That's a good point. And what does Josh
Speaker 1: Allen smelling incense smell like?
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 2: I don't know what that smells like? A winner smells
Speaker 2: like a smells like a goat? Yep, okay, speaking of winners.
Speaker 2: Uh So, a little hot mike action here.
Speaker 1: This is uh the Teachers Union president for the state
Speaker 1: of New Hampshire, and uh she was literally testifying at
Speaker 1: the time about or against a parental Bill of rights
Speaker 1: that would have included among other things, uh, some semblance
Speaker 1: of vouchers in there, but more so on the uh
Speaker 1: you know, the sex aid and things like that. So
Speaker 1: she this is literally what she's there for. It is
Speaker 1: part of one of the topics. And she says this
Speaker 1: thing to give some sort of advice to to people.
Speaker 1: And like she's the teachers' union president testifying against this
Speaker 1: movement by Republicans to tamp down on DEI initiatives and
Speaker 1: create voucher programs for private schools. And I know you
Speaker 1: know how the unions feel about that. Listen to this.
Speaker 4: If you're sending your kid to public school and we're
Speaker 4: following the academic standards adopted by the school board and
Speaker 4: the curriculum for our class, there's got to be some
Speaker 4: level of trust or perhaps, you know, maybe you should
Speaker 4: have chosen to send them to a different school. We
Speaker 4: cannot have parental rights to the point where you're micromanaging
Speaker 4: everything in the classroom and taking away education from all
Speaker 4: the other students.
Speaker 1: Let's see, So what do you mean by to another school?
Speaker 2: Do you mean?
Speaker 1: I don't know what would be an alternative?
Speaker 3: Ross?
Speaker 1: What are alternatives that you understand exist out there? If
Speaker 1: you're you have a chied in a public school. And
Speaker 1: have you taught about other educational home that homeschool home
Speaker 1: school be one. I don't, but she said send them
Speaker 1: to another school. So I'm going to say homeschool is
Speaker 1: not what she met right, because you wouldn't send your kid.
Speaker 2: To homeschool or vocational school.
Speaker 1: You think it's a trade school of some sort. But
Speaker 1: now we're not talking about kids, they're necessarily at that level.
Speaker 1: We're talking about middle schoolers, I think was the crux
Speaker 1: of this. So what are you so if you can't
Speaker 1: send your kid right to the coal mine already because
Speaker 1: they're not old.
Speaker 2: Enough military school mill, well you can.
Speaker 1: They have others one right north of the triad. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty big one. That's it, though. That's all the
Speaker 1: theories that she could have been referencing when she said
Speaker 1: send them to another school, because some people, I'm not
Speaker 1: a school expert, but some people think that what she
Speaker 1: said there was if you want parental involvement, where there's
Speaker 1: a lot of it, send your kid to a private school,
Speaker 1: which seems like a really weird thing to say. If
Speaker 1: you're the president of the teachers' union and you are
Speaker 1: fundamentally pushing back on opportunities for people to do such
Speaker 1: a thing. And it is also a pretty crazy statement.
Speaker 1: Even if you're not head of the teacher's union. Your
Speaker 1: your response is, well, we can't have parents meddling. You
Speaker 1: go to a private school if you want to do that,
Speaker 1: which I'm sorry, do you want parent involvement. I don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, I'm sure there's pain in the ass
Speaker 1: parents out there. In fact, I know that there are.
Speaker 1: I know nothing's ever good enough and it never will be.
Speaker 1: But also you don't have to go to their house
Speaker 1: with six cops and arrest them if they did to
Speaker 1: the family in the UK for having an opinion whether
Speaker 1: kid loses their mind because she's autistic and nine and
Speaker 1: doesn't know what's going on. But stop trying to sell
Speaker 1: me on private schools, you lunatic. Go to another one. Well,
Speaker 1: not everyone can afford it, and the ones who can't,
Speaker 1: you're gonna make sure they can't. So get on out
Speaker 1: of here with that, all right? Eight forty four raced
Speaker 1: Agic from the Weather Channel. Ray, I don't know how
Speaker 1: I'm feeling about this Final four arena. This is just greed, man,
Speaker 1: this is just greed. I don't know how you feel
Speaker 1: about it so oh really, really really, I think the
Speaker 1: NC douale A got him. All right, we'll give them
Speaker 1: a chance real quick to call in on the phone
Speaker 1: or maybe reconnect. That's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Hey, what's up?
Speaker 1: Oh there you are? Yeah, I forgot to shut that.
Speaker 1: I forget it. What I'm sorry, man, that's just you're
Speaker 1: just in hell, are you. I I'm not happy with
Speaker 1: the Final four arena. I don't think it's fairy of
Speaker 1: the basketball players. I know how you feel about this.
Speaker 1: So you know that they're playing at the Alamodome Final
Speaker 1: Four tomorrow, right, all right, So that's a football stadium.
Speaker 1: So basically you have that setting and we're in the
Speaker 1: middle of a football stadium that you have to have
Speaker 1: a basketball court and there's huge open expanses so they
Speaker 1: can seat like seventy thousand. Yeah, and it's like, that's
Speaker 1: not not basketball. And for the Final Four and then
Speaker 1: the Championship of Basketball, shouldn't you play in something that
Speaker 1: feels like it's a basketball arena? Yeah? You know what
Speaker 1: it's all about. King, No, I do I do revenue,
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't think it's fair to
Speaker 1: the players. So I don't know who did you have winning.
Speaker 1: I have Florida in one racket and Duke in the other.
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, hey, you got a shot St. John's things.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? All right? So uh all right,
Speaker 1: let's just go ahead and get this over with because
Speaker 1: I can barely hear you. What's going on with Sorry?
Speaker 1: That's okay?
Speaker 8: How about that kind of is mid upper eighties today tomorrow,
Speaker 8: maybe some record set are tied. And then as we
Speaker 8: get at the tail end of the weekend, some showers
Speaker 8: come in Sunday Sunday night, maybe a few thunderstorms. To
Speaker 8: mid upper eighties on Sunday. Much cooler next week, as
Speaker 8: we could see some lows by Wednesday morning in a
Speaker 8: little bit thirty, so we may get some patche Frostback
Speaker 8: didn't want to mention it to Casey before we go.
Speaker 8: Colorado State came out with their first prediction for hurricane
Speaker 8: season going slightly above average. About fourteen's a typical number
Speaker 8: of name storms, sort of the Atlantic hurricane season. They're
Speaker 8: going seventeen name storms.
Speaker 1: I've this is always confound in me because like I've
Speaker 1: been to Fort Collins, there's no ocean there, all right,
Speaker 1: and yet that's the arbor of hurricane information. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know school in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Speaker 2: We all get the same data though, right.
Speaker 1: Fort Collins, Yes, I know, but okay, come on wall
Speaker 1: check it out. Geez all right man, having my weekend,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. There you go. Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg News and
Speaker 1: or excuse me, Jeff Bellinger with Bloomberg News coming up.
Speaker 1: There's raced agic and we will be right back. Talk
Speaker 1: to Jeff Belle. Jeff, have you figured out which building
Speaker 1: you're gonna loot first when society breaks down over the
Speaker 1: tariffs or whatever and being told is going to happen.
Speaker 1: I haven't given that a lot of thought yet, Casey,
Speaker 1: but you probably you don't want to get their last all.
Speaker 1: It's true and stuff's been looted. So you get a plan, Jeff,
Speaker 1: get a plan, and okay, listen to the report this morning.
Speaker 6: Okay, and this report is sponsored by Total Wine anymore.
Speaker 1: There's a good idea, right there, Jeff. That's that's true,
Speaker 1: your Total Wine. You are. Yeah.
Speaker 6: On a typical jobs report Friday, case this would be huge.
Speaker 6: Job growth was much stronger than expected last month. The
Speaker 6: Labor Department says two hundred and twenty eight thousand workers
Speaker 6: were added to payrolls in March. The nation's unemployment rate
Speaker 6: ticked up to four point two percent. Today, though will
Speaker 6: not be typical, the futures indicate terrif worries will weigh
Speaker 6: heavily on Wall Street for a second session in a row.
Speaker 6: China made it a true trade war today when it
Speaker 6: announced retaliatory tariffs on all imports from America. Stock market
Speaker 6: futures are all down between two and third and two
Speaker 6: and a half percent, and that actually is a small
Speaker 6: improvement from about an hour ago. Investor's very anxious to
Speaker 6: hear what FED chair Jerome Powell will have to say
Speaker 6: about tariffs, the economy, and interest rates. He'll be speaking
Speaker 6: in Alexandria, Virginia later this morning. Just about everyone with
Speaker 6: a retirement savings plan is poorer on paper. After yesterday's
Speaker 6: meltdown on Wall Street. The total fortunes of the five
Speaker 6: hundred richest people in the world shrank by two hundred
Speaker 6: eight billion dollars. It was the fourth largest single day
Speaker 6: decline ever for Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. Nissan responded to the
Speaker 6: new tariffs on imported vehicles. The company says it will
Speaker 6: end US sales of two Infinity brand SUVs that are
Speaker 6: built in Mexico. The cell phone market very mature now
Speaker 6: and very competitive. Verizon is looking to lure new customers
Speaker 6: and hang on to existing ones with new perks. It's
Speaker 6: offering a free phone trade in and a three year
Speaker 6: price Lock and Hershey struck a deal to buy Connecticut
Speaker 6: based Lesser Evil. This is a company that makes organic popcorn.
Speaker 6: Her She has been expanding beyond candy, adding snack foods
Speaker 6: to its portfolio.
Speaker 1: In Casey.
Speaker 2: Terms of this deal were not disclosed.
Speaker 1: Okay, alrighty, Well, have yourself a good weekend, Jeff, and
Speaker 1: tell you your sales rep is probably freaking out. I
Speaker 1: didn't mean it, so I understand that it would be
Speaker 1: a bad idea. All right, thank you, appreciate it. Treat care.
Speaker 1: So I just said it again. He said it, lute.
Speaker 1: The sponsor did not say that. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1: I just indicated that it would be the first time
Speaker 1: a business that sold liquor was looted as part of
Speaker 1: some sort of pandemonium going on there. He did it again.
Speaker 1: You ever, Ferguson when they looted the store literally called
Speaker 1: liquor and meat. Yeah, and the problem was, so you
Speaker 1: get you get anything you want in there, and one
Speaker 1: that's amazing. All stories should be. There should be a
Speaker 1: whole chain of just stores called liquor and meat. You
Speaker 1: every guy shops there now. But what the problem was
Speaker 1: is everything's zero dollars at that point because you've chosen
Speaker 1: to loot it. And instead of running out with a
Speaker 1: good eighteen year and some t bones, some of the
Speaker 1: first people I saw running out of there had like
Speaker 1: uh uh puckers and the tube beat you know, like
Speaker 1: the big tube of questionable hamburger you can get in
