00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.399
<v Speaker 1>US is down on surprises. This morning, we were just

2
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>having a conversation here. Do you not like surprises? Some

3
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>people don't like surprises.

4
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it really just depends on my mood. But yeah, no,

5
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I went to bed last night. You know, it's like,

6
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 2>what's the big surprise gonna be in the morning, because

7
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I ran as like, oh, you got a big surprise,

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>because we're gonna yeah surprise. It's gonna be a surprise

9
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be remembered for the centuries. And they're like

10
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 2>posting videos of like it looks like a mini nuke

11
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>from Fallout, like a tiny bomb or like a radioactive

12
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>sticker on it that's obviously like AI generated and they're like, ah,

13
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 2>you just wait in the overnight and there's a surprise.

14
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>And I woke up and there's no surprise? Was there?

15
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Did I miss something?

16
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did you want the surprise to be a

17
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>nuke from Fallout, which is, by the way, a game.

18
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>If I guess some of you don't know that.

19
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to be like like I figured they would

20
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>do something.

21
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah happened, Ah, not that I know of. No, maybe

23
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.319

00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you're on Ross calendar, and Iran's not on your calendar.

53
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>what the surprise at this Iran is basically the Heraldo

54
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>of the Middle East at this point, I don't know.

55

00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 2>media that are like, you know, I don't know they're

59
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>actually like related to Iran. Some of them are, I'm

60
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 2>sure fake, but some of them do have like the

61
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 2>little emblem, like the little symbol, so you know they

62
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>related to that.

63
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the Iran military a count and then the main

64
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>one they've been tweeting like a son of a gun man.

65
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Those are their account those are their accounts, yeah.

66
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>And very like ominous foreshadowing type posts like oh it's

67
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen. You just wait, you just wait. But yeah,

68
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like we're gonna hit you at Capone's vault.

69
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 1>So I have a surprise.

70
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 3>What is it?

71
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I can't tell you. And it's not for you.

72
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's for whoever walked into the studio that I'm

73
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 1>broadcasting from in Ashville all week, which I love doing,

74
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and unplugged all of my stuff. And I don't mean

75
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>from the wall. Yes, it was unplugged from the wall.

76
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Somebody came in overnight or I guess yesterday afternoon probably,

77
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>and I have it's you know, I have these two

78
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>devices that I use when i'm you know, remote broadcasting

79
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>up here in Nashville, and they unplugged like all the

80
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>microphones and mike cables, the plugs in the wall, the

81
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>audio cable that sends from the one device to the

82
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>other device so they could broadcast it back to my

83
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Raleigh studio. So ross can you know, put it up

84
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 1>on the board. Somebody came in and unplugged all this stuff.

85
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>So I walk in this morning and I'm like, who

86
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>would do this? Why did this happens? So whoever did it?

87
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I want you to know I got a surprise coming

88
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>for you. You're gonna love it, and I will make it

89
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>my mission at nine oh one to day to figure

90
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>out who you are so you could get your surprise.

91
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Do I sound as ominous as I ran? I mean,

92
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not as foreboding I should be. It should be

93
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>need to you know.

94
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 3>What I mean?

95
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Like, Oh, you're you're all gonna pay your son? I

96
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I don't know.

97
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 1>It's probably there's probably a code of conducting violation.

98
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 2>You think it was intentional, Like somebody came in and

99
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>they're like scaredy somebody.

100
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, right dude, because you know in the

101
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>back of this thing, you have all the different mic

102
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 1>position cables, right because like you know, I have the guests,

103
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>they have the microphone over there, I have my microphone.

104
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>There is the cable that runs it from the mixer

105
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to what's called a Comrex device, which is the actual

106
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 1>call it a modem for all practical purposes, there is

107
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 1>and then there's the power cable for both devices. And

108
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>then there's a third power cable that goes to the

109
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>laptop that I use to access the button bar and

110
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the callscreener. Every single thing was individually unplugged from everything

111
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>else and then the wall. So what I'm assuming, because

112
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>if we get conspiratory, I'm assuming some salesperson came into

113
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>this room where I have set up my radio studio essentially,

114
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 1>was having some phone call where they were talking about

115
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 1>some really sketched stuff, looked over and went, I wonder

116
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>if those microphones are recording and unplugged all this stuff.

117
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 1>That's my theory, and I'm probably right, because if you

118
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 1>don't understand the equipment, you might think that. So I

119
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>have a surprise for whoever you are when I find you.

120
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's for me, and it's not chocolates either, or

121
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 1>fly or anything nice like that. Surprise is I'm going

122
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to figure out who did it, and then tomorrow morning,

123
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 1>when I'm broadcasting, I'm going to go into your office

124
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to unplug everything, and that will require

125
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 1>me to crawl under your desk so that when you

126
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>come in and attempt to do your job none of

127
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>your crap works. Surprise, which is far more which is

128
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 1>which has far more bang for your buck than Heraldo

129
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 1>opening Capone's vault. Okay, don't screw with the morning guy

130
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 1>at o dark thirty in the morning, because we're vengeful

131
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and I think it'll be hilarious to do it to you.

132
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>So other than or a ghost, that's the other ross.

133
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 1>The other theory is a ghost. So what do you think? Oh,

134
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 1>you know what, maybe it's the it's the curse of

135
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 1>toot in Common. We talked about this yesterday.

136
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you mocked me yesterday for bringing that up. By

137
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>here we are, I didn't mock you.

138
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I explained that it was The tomb is a replica

139
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>The actual sarcophagus is a replica of If you guys

140
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know, they have like a thousand of the thousand

141
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 1>piece display of the items from Tuton Common's grave at

142
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 1>the Biltmore this summer. And so we're talking about that,

143
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 1>A ross immediately thought it must be cursed.

144
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't mock you, did I.

145
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that.

146
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm just looking after your safety. And you're like, that's ridiculous.

147
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 2>And now look and now look how.

148
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Weak is the curse If it went from murdering everyone

149
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>who walked in to unplugging my mic cables, like what

150
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of It's not even a curse at that point,

151
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 1>is it?

152
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 4>Man?

153
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>They're tired, man, they've been around for a long time.

154
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>That's a minor annoyance.

155
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Sure you tried cursing for you know, three thousand years

156
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it is?

157
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, because they only found the thing in what

158
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the twenties or the thirties or something.

159
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Is that three thousand years. It's sort of like the

160
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 2>genie just being in the bottle forever. It's waiting, like

161
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 2>here we go, and I.

162
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 1>How amazing would it be if it can If it

163
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>was like Robin Williams, man, you know how stoked I'd be.

164
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I have some questions for that dude anyway. All right,

165
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 1>So it's either the two, the curse of toot in

166
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 1>common or a salesperson who wanted to have a raunchy conversation.

167
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know which it is, but I will find

168
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 1>out and we will be right back. It's twenty one

169
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>here on the CaCO Day radio program, phone number eight

170
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 1>eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Sorry,

171
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>he'll pop up window. I'm like, what is happening now?

172
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>But it's just telling me to update some stuff. By

173
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the way, Ross, did you see the email we got?

174
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>That's probably them trying to catch us into doing somethinghere.

175
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 1>They're like all of your laptops seed to be upgraded

176
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 1>to the new Windows. Did you see that in your

177
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>inbox yesterday?

178
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I saw something from the lady that sends

179
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 2>out all the scams or something idea.

180
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, By the way, just just to be clear, she

181
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 1>doesn't actually send out scams. She sends out test emails

182
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>so that she can then you know, if we click

183
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 1>on something, she's like, dah, you feil for a scam.

184
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>And I got to tell you some of it is

185
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>downright diabolical. Yeah. Like they sent one out one time, Yeah, yea,

186
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you know the one I'm going to reference there.

187
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>There's two of them. They sent it one one time

188
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>where it was like, hey, your upcoming vacation has been

189
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 2>canceled and yeah, and it looks like it's from the company,

190
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 2>like the software in the program we use, and like

191
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 2>a screenshot and you're like click here for whatever. And

192
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I looked at it. I was like hmm, And I

193
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 2>remember I you know, I texted our boss at the

194
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>time and I said, has my vacation been canceled? And

195
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>He's like, no, everybody's emailing me or texting me. It's

196
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.559
<v Speaker 2>a it's a phishing thing to see if you're gonna

197
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 2>fall for the scam. And the other one was like

198
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>there was another one involving like.

199
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Your pay Yeah, like you get no money, no money,

200
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 1>your money's yeah, like you're gonna be like paid for

201
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>one hour in your upcoming check and you're like, yeah, yeah,

202
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>enjoy enjoy being poor and not on vacation. Well in

203
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a way, if you don't have any money, then you

204
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>can't You probably shouldn't go on vacation, right, So I

205
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>saw that yesterday, and I'm like, my laptop will never

206
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:20.799
<v Speaker 1>get upgraded because it's probably true. I believe that that

207
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 1>that the email is probably true because it's not asking

208
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.759
<v Speaker 1>you to click for anything. It's just informing you that

209
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>this is a thing's gonna happen. But I'm also like,

210
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I'm gonna take the chance. I'm

211
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'll just give me a Windows ninety five.

212
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't care.

213
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, just happened, And so I just got to

214
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 1>pop up window from my laptop telling me that now

215
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 1>would be a really good time to do the upgrade,

216
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, right in the middle of the show. So, uh,

217
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>there you go.

218
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 3>What is this?

219
00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>People have surprise theories from Iran here, I would prefer

220
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 1>no surprise how's that, well, that that would be a

221
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 1>good thing? What is this is the new thing with Democrats?

222
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>A politician trager arrested. I'm assuming you're referring to the

223
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>New York City comptroller, which, by the way, does anyone

224
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>know what a comptroller does? Don't lie, you don't. So

225
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>this jackass goes to where he knows that there's going

226
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 1>to be immigration arrests in New York, locks arms with

227
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>those trying to get arrested or to keep them from

228
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:34.879
<v Speaker 1>getting arrested, gets detained and arrested himself, and now he's

229
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>so it's all so tiring, and I like, does it

230
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 1>move the needle? Can I ask somebody who is is

231
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>is more likely to vote for I guess a Democrat?

232
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Does it move the needle? When you see like, are

233
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 1>you like, oh wow, that person was brave. They went

234
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 1>down with a fotography crew, locked arms for about thirty

235
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 1>seconds with this guy who's getting arrested themselves got arrested

236
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of but not really. And now I'm voting for them,

237
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Like how does that work? It just it it's so performative,

238
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and just to be clear, it's not a partisan thing.

239
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I hate it. I hate it all around. I mocked

240
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the crap out of Republicans or Democrats that do these

241
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>little stunts. I'm just really bothered that it might work

242
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>with some people. That's the part that kills me. Like

243
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>when they had that Republican congressman and brought the snowball

244
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.519
<v Speaker 1>into the House chamber and he's like, see.

245
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 2>There's snow outside. Here's some snow. I brought him from

246
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 2>outside global warmings, not real.

247
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, what are you doing. It's December, bro

248
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of cour It's December and there's snow out.

249
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's that's not a thing. Or the guy who brought.

250
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>In the uh KFC, right, remember remember the jackass you

251
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.519
<v Speaker 1>brought in the bucket of KFC to eat it because

252
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>he was mad at Chick fil A? Who responds to

253
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 1>things like this? Do you understand how simple you have

254
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to be? How you you a single digit IQ required

255
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 1>to look at things like this and go, that person's

256
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>fighting for me, that's my politician. So you know, when

257
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I see the comptroller getting himself arrested, the it's it's

258
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.519
<v Speaker 1>just it's it's stunts. It's all stunts, and I can't

259
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 1>understand why they keep doing it. I can't understand why

260
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>these Democrat politicians keep swearing too. I love swearing, don't

261
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.559
<v Speaker 1>get me wrong. The fact that I've not done it

262
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>on the radio yet if you ever talked to me

263
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:05.519
<v Speaker 1>in person, especially if I'm relaxed, I probably I could.

264
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I could benefit from cleaning up my vocabulary, not gonna lie.

265
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 1>And yet I saw Kathy Hokeel who who texted about

266
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 1>or she tweeted about the arrest of the comptroller and went,

267
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 1>this is.

268
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>BS, but didn't say BS said.

269
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>The whole thing or something like that. Some swear word

270
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.559
<v Speaker 1>in there. And the reason they're doing that is because

271
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 1>of that poll we talked about where Democrat voters, when

272
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>asked what do they think of their party, had a

273
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.360
<v Speaker 1>very low opinion. It was less but but you know,

274
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.320
<v Speaker 1>which is not unusual after you've lost a big election.

275
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 1>But then they're like, well, what do you want? We

276
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.279
<v Speaker 1>want them to be tougher, we want them to be meaner.

277
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.399
<v Speaker 1>So swearing in tweets and stupid YouTube videos while they're

278
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 1>eating tacos, that's not anything. That's not substantive, that's not

279
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 1>a thing. You're not out accomplishing any there.

280
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Once again, they're trying to get that blue color vote

281
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.679
<v Speaker 2>again and there it's it's like a stair right, you know,

282
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 2>like if I swear, the average guy is going to

283
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.960
<v Speaker 2>be like, hey, it is very insulting. Yes, that's what

284
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 2>it is. Though, It's like, look, I'm a common man.

285
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I swear like you do.

286
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.039
<v Speaker 1>You know what it is. It's Hillary with the hot

287
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Sauce Cambria Hotel, which is owned by the same ownership

288
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.159
<v Speaker 1>group in Asheville and they own a bunch of other

289
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>stuff too, but the the head of that company, the owner,

290
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Alex Fraga, is actually going to join us on the

291
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 1>show today. That'll be coming up at eight o five

292
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>so and that'll kind of that'll kind of complete the

293
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 1>trifecta of what you know from a Buncombe County standpoint

294
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 1>and the different various areas you know, builtmore village, downtown Ashville,

295
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.039
<v Speaker 1>like the River district there and the outlying areas of

296
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>really the hardest hit under Helene uh with half of

297

<v Speaker 1>sponsor this, so and we're gonna speak with them before that.

301
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be clear. So but you know,

302
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.519
<v Speaker 1>full disclosure and all that stuff. Uh oh what ross

<v Speaker 1>you got? You got something in your truck trap this morning?

304
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Look at.

<v Speaker 2>Truckload of blueberries? Like blueberries? Yeah, yeah, you make like

306
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.399
<v Speaker 2>smoothies smoothie action or now you put in some protein

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:37.679
<v Speaker 2>with that.

308
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, look at that. Well you got a whole truckload, man,

309
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>so you better get after it.

310
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 2>You ever think that? So the surprise I ran, surprise

311
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they're the ones responsible for your cables. Maybe that

312
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>was the surprise.

313
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You think that I ran in Their last gasp was

314
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 1>to come to Ashville and unplug three cables.

315
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I can see them there.

316
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>They sneak two power cables, two three mic cables and

317
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>two power cables. They sneak in the unplug it and

318
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.039
<v Speaker 1>they're like free Palestine and they leave. What are they

319
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>dressed as a camel So, I mean it's just two dudes.

320
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather be the front of the camel or

321
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the camel butt in the front? Well yeah, but think

322
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>about it. If you're in a if you're in war,

323
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the part pointing at the enemy. So if you're

324
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.119
<v Speaker 1>the camel butt, you got a human shield in front

325
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:37.759
<v Speaker 1>of you. And you know how much they love human

326
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 1>shields in the Middle East, Right, I feel like.

327
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.839
<v Speaker 2>This is like the South Park like human centipede thing. Now,

328
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.559
<v Speaker 2>you got to be smart man when you choose here.

329
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you like Asian food, that was working

330
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>out for you, right, wasn't it The dude from the

331
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the city Walk that was the front of the centipede

332
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and he kept eating like the craziest.

333
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:05.599
<v Speaker 2>He kept eating the craziest like pangle in. Right, He's like,

334
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.200
<v Speaker 2>do you want the vanilla paste or the right like

335
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:11.039
<v Speaker 2>the cuttle fish?

336
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, was like, yeah, what a great episode?

337
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Is that? The one? Is that the one that they.

338
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Did?

339
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>You ever see the documentary that's like seven days to

340
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 1>air or whatever it is that is It's only an

341
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.359
<v Speaker 1>hour long.

342
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.440
<v Speaker 2>It is a phenomenal documentary and it shows the process

343
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.319
<v Speaker 2>of putting an episode of South Park together because they

344
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>do it in the span of like five or six days, right,

345
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 2>most days seven days and and some some days they

346
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 2>bring it to air like like they'll finish it and

347
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>they'll bring it to air with twenty minutes to spare,

348
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 2>whereas like shows like The Simpsons, at least back in

349
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.519
<v Speaker 2>the day when the documentary is made the Simpsons will

350
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 2>take like, you know, one episode will take months, you know, yeah,

351
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.039
<v Speaker 2>a long time. And that's why South Park can be

352
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:06.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot more relevant to the news of the day

353
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>because they're making it on the spot than in there.

354
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

355
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to say the episode that they're making in

356
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that is the that one, because it's that and there's

357
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 1>there's because there's two things going on in the episode.

358
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's that one. It's hilarious whatever it is.

359
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the whole process is very interesting if you

360
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.519
<v Speaker 1>ever get a chance to check that. Oh no, oh no,

361
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.920
<v Speaker 1>well that's uh, Ross, did you uh, I'm assuming oh

362
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>wait it's cuddlefish and asparagus what our listeners knows exactly

363
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the episode? Yeah, go for the vanilla paste. Go for

364
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the vanilla paste.

365
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:47.799
<v Speaker 3>All right.

366
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:53.039
<v Speaker 1>So Stanley Cup? Do you watch the the uh the

367
00:19:53.079 --> 00:20:00.039
<v Speaker 1>finals for hockey yesterday? Huh that's unfortunate. Oh man, and

368
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that is that? That's too bad? Ross? Did you

369
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:05.920
<v Speaker 1>see this? Canada didn't win the Stanley Cup again this year?

370
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how how long has it been since since

371
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.799
<v Speaker 2>they've won? Hockey is supposed to be their thing, right,

372
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 2>like it's oh yeah, they.

373
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Got all the snow and the ice and then the

374
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.519
<v Speaker 1>hot you know even there like they're pulling the campaign

375
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 1>for prime minister, and then then the way the marketing

376
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.079
<v Speaker 1>that they did to fight back against Trump when they

377
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, when all that was going on was uh

378
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh it was hockey references. I don't know

379
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>if you know this, maybe people didn't if they're not

380
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>into hockey. Literally they were hockey fighting references is how

381
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.559
<v Speaker 1>they would talk about their battle with Trump. So so

382
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:51.559
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't been that long, right, uh, Ross, do you

383
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.039
<v Speaker 1>remember President Clinton?

384
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I do, yes, way back in the nineteen hundreds, I

385
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>believe that was president right, yeah, yeah.

386
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah. So the last time that Canada has won

387
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a Stanley Cup was ninety three, so that's a minute.

388
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>That's actually that's more years than there are hockey teams.

389
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And since Canada has what five teams, mathematically they should

390
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 1>have won five of them if it's evenly distributed. But

391
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I understand it's not evenly distributed because hell, the Vikings

392
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:29.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't won a Super Bowl, so I know.

393
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker 3>How this goes.

394
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>But you got five slots out of you know, thirty,

395
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:35.759
<v Speaker 1>and I think, what are you doing?

396
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I think we've talked about it before, right, A lot

397
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:38.480
<v Speaker 2>of it comes down to, like, do you want to

398
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.640
<v Speaker 2>play in Canada and pay a ridiculous amount of taxes right,

399
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 2>or go to Florida and I have to pay those taxes.

400
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean we saw that, the Bills saw this in

401
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.559
<v Speaker 2>football with Tyreek Hill, right, Tyreek was going to maybe

402
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:52.920
<v Speaker 2>go to New York, but he's like, I don't want

403
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:54.440
<v Speaker 2>to pay those taxes. And he went down to Florida

404
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:56.039
<v Speaker 2>and people gave him a tough you know they were

405
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 2>they were like giveing him a tough time about it

406
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:00.599
<v Speaker 2>at the time, but like, oh, you're putting your your

407
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.200
<v Speaker 2>paycheck in front of your possibility for a Super Bowl.

408
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, hell yeah, I am.

409
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know if you' and I mentioned this

410
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to you off the year. I don't know that we

411
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 1>talked about it off the year. So one some politician

412
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>who is I guess represents Edmonton, so that's where the oilers, right.

413
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>He was bemoaning the fact that it's unfair because hockey

414
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.240
<v Speaker 1>players want to go play in like they want to

415
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>go play for the Stars in Dallas, or they want

416
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 1>to go play for the Panthers in Florida, right, And

417
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.039
<v Speaker 1>he's like, it's not fair because we can't compete. And

418
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 1>his thing was not to have Canada not tax the

419
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:43.039
<v Speaker 1>crap out of people. His what he was demanding was

420
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that the NHL tax people or essentially have a have

421
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 1>all the taxes paid into a big pool and then

422
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:55.440
<v Speaker 1>level all the players.

423
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 2>So he didn't want like in equity tax or something.

424
00:22:59.039 --> 00:22:59.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

425
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Essentially, so if you if you played in Texas and

426
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.359
<v Speaker 1>you played in and let's say you played in Edmonton, right,

427
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.319
<v Speaker 1>and if you if you played and it was eight

428
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 1>percent of was your local tax, then they would take

429
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>eight percent from the Florida hockey players thing, put it

430
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 1>in there, and then level it off so that the

431
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 1>player in Canada would only end up with a four

432
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 1>percent tax liability, and then the Florida player would pay

433
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 1>four percent. They wanted to steal rather than just not

434
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.599
<v Speaker 1>taxing the crap out of their citizens.

435
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Now, hold on, they're not going to steal. They just

436
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:34.400
<v Speaker 2>want to move the money around a little bit, you know.

437
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Right, right, redistributing, Yeah, because that sounds better day Yeah, yeah, Well,

438
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.519
<v Speaker 1>look what happened to him, right? You know that there's

439
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 1>a he was assassinated conspiracy theory, right, I've not heard that.

440
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh maybe I have, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'm like,

441
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.559
<v Speaker 1>why would they not assassinate him till like ten years later.

442
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.400
<v Speaker 2>If you're doing it.

443
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 1>If if you're worried that a guy is somehow, you know,

444
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 1>the face of a political movement that you object to,

445
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>do you not murder him for ten years?

446
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:08.960
<v Speaker 2>No, you murder him right away. Oh So they're saying,

447
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>like Obama killed him because what the embarrassings.

448
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's just Obama, you know, deep state,

449
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever, one of those generic things.

450
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.240
<v Speaker 2>But but I mean Obama won, so it really didn't

451
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.839
<v Speaker 2>matter at the time, right, Yeah, that's why you don't

452
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 2>have to get around to killing him right away, because

453
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 2>you already got what you wanted. So yeah, I tend

454
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 2>not to believe that. That's my second That's the second

455
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.640
<v Speaker 2>craziest conspiracy theory I'm going to tell you about today.

456
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, So who did uh? Who did the the

457
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Canadians lose to yesterday?

458
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, another.

459
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Area of this world that is an absolute you know,

460
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 1>really into hockey. You know, kids growing up skating around

461
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 1>on that frozen lake Ross. Have you heard of the

462
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:57.400
<v Speaker 1>area called Florida? Have you the hockey mecca that is Florida.

463
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have, yes, Yeah, so you know how much

464
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 2>they love hockey.

465
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, those kids growing up on the frozen ponds

466
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot, just skating around pretending to be Gretzky.

467
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean when you learn that's who you lost to

468
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.480
<v Speaker 2>when you when you learn to play in a frozen swamp.

469
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they just gives them an advantage from the beginning.

470
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.079
<v Speaker 1>And think about this too. Not only are you having

471
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to skate on the floor on the swamp, but at

472
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 1>any moment, an ice skater could pop out, right, so

473
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to just look for defenders, right, whoever's

474
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:28.480
<v Speaker 1>on the other shift from you. At any moment, ice

475
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.400
<v Speaker 1>skaters pop right through the ice hoole.

476
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, would you rather, like, you know, personally, would you

477
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 2>rather fight a moose or an ice skater?

478
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 1>No, well, you know, or or both?

479
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:39.799
<v Speaker 3>Right?

480
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>A lot of moose down in Florida too, I think,

481
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I'm not checking that, yeah, I mean,

482
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>just kids have gone through.

483
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about I'm not talking about the ice moose.

484
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm just talking about a moose. Oh regular moose. Oh,

485
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 2>well that's different.

486
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:53.880
<v Speaker 7>Ah.

487
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:58.880
<v Speaker 2>How many ice skaters just one?

488
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know, so anyway, Uh yeah,

489
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.799
<v Speaker 1>way to lose the tea, way to lose the sport

490
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 1>that requires everything to freeze. Two people who live where

491
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't freeze. But there's always next year, So you know, maybe.

492
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.519
<v Speaker 2>What was the last who is it?

493
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Who is it the Canadians? Who was in ninety three? Yeah,

494
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 1>just looking that up, just like I just want you

495
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:35.519
<v Speaker 1>to have all the information. It's been that long. That's awesome.

496
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about first term Bill cleon.

497
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Ninety three. It's crazy, that's embarrassing.

498
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And people go because I have know, you know,

499
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:53.359
<v Speaker 1>not just first term. I'm talking first World Center, World

500
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Trade Center bombing, if you know, if we're trying to

501
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>put this in, we're talking at Reno, Greece and people

502
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 1>at Waco and about you know a few months later.

503
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm taught.

504
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:10.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's how long it's been since Canada. Who's got

505
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 1>five Bites at the Apples has been Pablo Escobar was

506
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>still doing Pablo Escobar stuff in nineteen ninety three.

507
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Here's one that will blow your mind.

508
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.079
<v Speaker 4>Ross.

509
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what else happened?

510
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.839
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen ninety three, NFL Free agency was created.

511
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow, it's been that long.

512
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:44.200
<v Speaker 1>The first penniem chip was created. The modern computer, so

513
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.640
<v Speaker 1>they had the ability to run things like Windows. Windows

514
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.119
<v Speaker 1>ninety five wasn't a thing yet, which I referenced earlier

515
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:56.319
<v Speaker 1>in the show. It's been that long since Canada has

516
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>won a Stanley Cup. You guys should quit. It doesn't

517
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.799
<v Speaker 1>look like it's gonna happen. Go back to you know,

518
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:13.559
<v Speaker 1>concentrate on the curl and lean in man. I wouldn't

519
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:17.960
<v Speaker 1>want to dwell on the misery that is being a

520
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 1>hockey fan in the entire country of Canada, because that

521
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 1>would be rude. But I did think that this would

522
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 1>be a fun game. Ross, I want to play a game.

523
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I want you to tell me if the movie I'm

524
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:38.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you is newer or older than the last

525
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Canadian Hockey championship, right, this will be a fun game.

526
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Right, Okay?

527
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I think so? All right, let's see here, do Unforgiven?

528
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Is that newer? Did that happen more recently or less recently?

529
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>The release of Unforgiven? Oh?

530
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that was ninety two? Maybe maybe you are correct.

531
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you nailed it there, two. So they have since

532
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.839
<v Speaker 1>the release of Unforgiven, the Canadians have won a Stanley Cup. Okay,

533
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:14.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, so uh let's see here do I got

534
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.920
<v Speaker 1>my little list here?

535
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:27.559
<v Speaker 2>All right? Batman returns, Batman returns. That would be let's see,

536
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 2>that would be maybe like ninety four, ninety three, ninety four.

537
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Nope, that's also ninety two ninety okay, all right, Forrest Gump,

538
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the inspiration the inspiration for the haircut of that weirdo

539
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:40.559
<v Speaker 1>in Minneapolis, by.

540
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:43.119
<v Speaker 2>The way, that yeah, that's like ninety four.

541
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Correct, Yes, so Forrest Gump. The entire time Forrest Gump

542
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.279
<v Speaker 1>has existed, the Canadians have not won the Stanley Cup.

543
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Because that was a ridiculous year at the Oscars, because

544
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 2>you had Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump and I think pulp

545
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Fiction up for Best Picture or something stupid and The

546
00:29:59.319 --> 00:29:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Lion King.

547
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you have Forrest Gump, Shawshank, pulp Fiction, the

548
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Lion King. I think Clerks came out that year too,

549
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.480
<v Speaker 1>not that that was the Best Picture nominee, but yeah.

550
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:16.400
<v Speaker 1>So just to put that in perspective, Lion King, Forrest Gump,

551
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:22.920
<v Speaker 1>pulp Fiction, and Shawshank Redemption are newer since their release,

552
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 1>the Canadians have not won a Stanley Cup. Read into that,

553
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 1>what you will all right. Now, some people are like, what,

554
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:39.519
<v Speaker 1>don't come on, man, look at that. Yeah, but most

555
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.359
<v Speaker 1>of the people who play hockey or Canadian one. That's

556
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.559
<v Speaker 1>not true. Not to say there's not a lot of

557
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Canadian hockey players, but it's actually more embarrassing because the

558
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.599
<v Speaker 1>really good Canadian hockey players choose to not play for

559
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.359
<v Speaker 1>They could play for Canadian teams. Connor Bedard could play

560
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>for a Canadian team. Every player from Canada the plays

561
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>for the Carolina Hurricanes could play for a Canadian team.

562
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.480
<v Speaker 1>But they choose to And I don't begrudge them at all.

563
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.119
<v Speaker 1>They choose to play for other teams, whether it's financially

564
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.119
<v Speaker 1>motivated or more likely they want to win a championship.

565
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker 1>But if you got about five solid, top tier Canadian

566
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:28.440
<v Speaker 1>players that you could spread over a couple shifts, I'm

567
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>talking like the Krem de la Creme, and they all

568
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>made a conscious decision to dream team stuff because you know,

569
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Canadian patriotism, they could do that. So AnyWho, All right,

570
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll stop for now, but I'm sure I'll bring it

571
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:50.400
<v Speaker 1>up at some point in the future, very very soon.

572
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:55.119
<v Speaker 1>We're doing it live, doing it live to quote Bill O'Reilly, Oh,

573
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 1>that would have been a fun drop for this. All right,

574
00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that's on me. And when I say live, I mean

575
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 1>live from the mountains, oh North Carolina. As we continue

576
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:10.039
<v Speaker 1>our broadcast, I'm up at iHeart Ashville, and we're up here.

577
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:11.559
<v Speaker 1>We've talked to a lot of great folks. We've got

578
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:14.039
<v Speaker 1>more that will be joining us coming up both today

579
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and through the rest of the week, and just really

580
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to put a spotlight on what's going on up

581
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:23.200
<v Speaker 1>here post Helene, because I know there's a lot of

582
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.839
<v Speaker 1>people such as myself who maybe haven't been up to

583
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the mountains since Helene, haven't taken the trip obviously going

584
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>back last year, a lot of people for obvious reasons,

585
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.759
<v Speaker 1>we were so close to the storm.

586
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 2>But now you know, things are open.

587
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.480
<v Speaker 1>And I got to tell you a lot more is

588
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:43.279
<v Speaker 1>open than even I thought was going to be the

589
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>case up here.

590
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>And it is a testament to not giving up obviously.

591
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we've talked about all of the political

592
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:57.720
<v Speaker 1>side of this too, having to really really fight for recognition,

593
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:03.279
<v Speaker 1>help and then watching what people were willing to do

594
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to step up. I think there's a lot of people.

595
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to tell you how much because that's

596
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:10.359
<v Speaker 1>not the point of this, but I think a lot

597
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:14.319
<v Speaker 1>of people were willing to financially step up and give

598
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I made a couple donations. I'm sure many of you

599
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.640
<v Speaker 1>did as well. Some of you did drive up and

600
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you put sweat equity into helping fellow North Carolinians. And

601
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it shows and it has paid big dividends for a

602
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of these areas. Now there are areas that still

603
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 1>continue to struggle and are working their way back because

604
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.400
<v Speaker 1>they were victims of more than just the storm. They

605
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.880
<v Speaker 1>were victims of a changing topography, which is an amazing thing.

606
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I talked about the area over by Back Cave and

607
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Chimney over there, where you know, one of the things

608
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 1>that we see in North Carolina.

609
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:55.200
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of towns.

610
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Have these where you have like little stores and cafes

611
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and restaurants that are kind of built on stilts to

612
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:04.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of overhang some of the rivers and creeks. And

613
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:06.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the roads up in the mountains run

614
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.639
<v Speaker 1>adjacent to the water because it's a natural place to

615
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.159
<v Speaker 1>put a road because it carves out the bottom of

616
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a passageway. Those are gone in some instances and will not.

617
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to be able to build them back

618
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:25.800
<v Speaker 1>roads are going to be in different places. So being

619
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:28.079
<v Speaker 1>able to come out and see it and truly get

620
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a deeper understanding of what happened in our state has been.

621
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.519
<v Speaker 1>It's it's been emotional, man, because I look at places

622
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:39.559
<v Speaker 1>that I have been on a dozen different you know,

623
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a dozen different trips, and I realized that little cafe

624
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.239
<v Speaker 1>where I would go get breakfast whenever I would be

625
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.159
<v Speaker 1>in the particular area. You know, we all kind of

626
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.320
<v Speaker 1>get our favorite is not there, and now it's going

627
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to be over here, and maybe it doesn't come back.

628
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.199
<v Speaker 1>But for all of the all of the stuff that

629
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.239
<v Speaker 1>we did, even though we may not have lived up

630
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>here in the mountains, the donations we made, the driving

631
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:10.519
<v Speaker 1>truckloads of you know, bottled water, maybe your church did something.

632
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:16.360
<v Speaker 1>The way that you can help now is, dare I

633
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 1>say the fun way come up and do the vacation

634
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:25.920
<v Speaker 1>thing and if you you know, go to where you

635
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:30.199
<v Speaker 1>used to go, spend the money up here, because for

636
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:34.360
<v Speaker 1>so many of these communities, it is the lifeblood of

637
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 1>how they exist and how they will continue to exist.

638
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:39.480
<v Speaker 1>And not just the city of Asheville, which is obviously,

639
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, really the biggest example, but all the little

640
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:47.400
<v Speaker 1>towns too, all those little places along the parkway that

641
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.159
<v Speaker 1>you go to that fudg shop at Little Switzerland, which

642
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:56.519
<v Speaker 1>is you're pulling there. You want to see the happiest

643
00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:59.119
<v Speaker 1>kids you've ever seen. Pull into the Little Switzerland fudge

644
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.239
<v Speaker 1>shop there and watch them barreling out of the car.

645
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Man parents look at all haggard. They're just like, oh man,

646
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:08.679
<v Speaker 1>they're already out of control. Now we're going to stick

647
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 1>fudging them. But you do it, and you do it

648
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:14.559
<v Speaker 1>because that's what you like to do. So this is

649
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.639
<v Speaker 1>this is this is how you give back. Now, this

650
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:21.079
<v Speaker 1>is how you help. Now. If you're on the fence,

651
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I would encourage I would encourage you to come up

652
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and I don't care where it is. Go where you

653
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:30.000
<v Speaker 1>used to go, do what you used to do, and

654
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:35.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe do some new stuff. Expand what it means to vacation.

655
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:38.719
<v Speaker 1>And would we have weather in the Triangle and the

656
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Triad like we got going on this week. I shouldn't

657
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:44.599
<v Speaker 1>have to twist your arm to want to come up

658
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.719
<v Speaker 1>in the mountains. It was it was downright pleasant. Ross

659
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Was it pleasant in Raleigh yesterday? Would you say it

660
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:56.199
<v Speaker 1>was pleasant outside? And yeah, if anything about it, say no, no, okay,

661
00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:56.760
<v Speaker 1>not pleasant.

662
00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>It's getting stupid hot.

663
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm just gonna stay up here. I live here now. Actually,

664
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go higher up. I'm gonna go to the

665
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.559
<v Speaker 1>top of Mount Mitchell and build a cabin. Do you

666
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:08.400
<v Speaker 1>think they'll have a problem with that since it is

667
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 1>a state park thing? Maybe I'm not looking forward to that.

668
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:16.880
<v Speaker 1>We'll make fun of raced Agic later in the hour

669
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.280
<v Speaker 1>when he comes on to torture us. All right, what

670
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.760
<v Speaker 1>would you say your hobbies are? Ross? What are your hobbies?

671
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:25.519
<v Speaker 1>What would you say your hobbies are? I like gaming,

672
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 1>I like lifting. I'm really big into like theology and

673
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.239
<v Speaker 1>the Bible at the moment. Yeah, well is that a hobby?

674
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:33.360
<v Speaker 1>What did you call it a hobby?

675
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's it's taking up a considerable amount of time.

676
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.119
<v Speaker 2>So all right, I'm really enjoying it.

677
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Good, good, good good.

678
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Have you thought of recreational terrorism?

679
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Have not?

680
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.679
<v Speaker 2>What you know? I just I'm very busy.

681
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well maybe you don't. Maybe don't lift anymore? No,

682
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:55.599
<v Speaker 1>replace it with recreational terrorism. Have you thought of that?

683
00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I haven't be easier on your muscles. Maybe I don't know,

684
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:03.320
<v Speaker 1>depending on how you're terrorism goes. Maybe get rid of

685
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the gaming. Have you thought it's not gaming and touching

686
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.519
<v Speaker 1>grass outside while you're committing recreational terrorism.

687
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I think they'd be a waste though, because I've invested

688
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:13.119
<v Speaker 2>so much money into that hobby that I you know,

689
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:14.960
<v Speaker 2>it'd be a waste of money, and that would be

690
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:18.920
<v Speaker 2>financially irresponsible in my part. Okay, I have to keep playing,

691
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:22.840
<v Speaker 2>all right, I'm so frustrated with golf this year. Maybe

692
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.239
<v Speaker 2>how quick that and start recreational terrorism? And I know

693
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>what you're thinking, You're going, Casey, what the heck are

694
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you talking about? I'm talking about this thing I learned

695
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:33.599
<v Speaker 2>about yesterday from this absolute lunatic who decided to post

696
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:36.159
<v Speaker 2>a video that I'm sure has been forwarded to the

697
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:37.599
<v Speaker 2>FBI three thousand times.

698
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.320
<v Speaker 7>The only way anything's going to change in this country

699
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 7>is if more people embrace recreational terrorism. There's been a

700
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 7>lot of recent videos of ice raids, and I can't

701
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.400
<v Speaker 7>help but feel like there's all these empty rooftops here

702
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:56.840
<v Speaker 7>where citizens could go and show their appreciation for these

703
00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:01.440
<v Speaker 7>literal Nazis terrorizing their commute. It is, they could go

704
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 7>up there.

705
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 2>And show their support.

706
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, first, what makes terrorism recreational versus regular terrorism. I

707
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 1>guess that'd be my I mean, I got a lot

708
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of questions.

709
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:18.559
<v Speaker 2>That's the first one. Well, first, he's a psychotic, maniac, lunatic.

710
00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:20.400
<v Speaker 2>They should be locked up in prison for a long time.

711
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.000
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, rightly saying like, you know, if you have

712
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:25.239
<v Speaker 2>like a full time job and you can't commit, you know,

713
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:27.440
<v Speaker 2>all the way to the terrorism, it'd be like a

714
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:29.159
<v Speaker 2>part time gig.

715
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.760
<v Speaker 1>So part well, that would be part time terrorism.

716
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:31.039
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

717
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's like right, maybe if there's like a tier system,

718
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:39.039
<v Speaker 2>like full time, part time recreational more like volunteer terrorism.

719
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm still trying to figure out what makes it

720
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:48.079
<v Speaker 1>recreational though, because I understand part time terrorism. You're busy,

721
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.559
<v Speaker 1>it's a side. You know, there'd be a terrorism side hustle.

722
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.679
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. Recreational you do when you

723
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:55.599
<v Speaker 1>when I used to think of the word recreational, you're

724
00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:57.320
<v Speaker 1>doing it because you love it for the love of

725
00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the game, so to speak. So I don't know, Also,

726
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you're culturally appropriating, sir, since clearly, uh clearly you're you're

727
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.320
<v Speaker 1>all aboard on this stuff. You realize that your culture

728
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.400
<v Speaker 1>ross you realize it's cultural appropriation what he's promoting too, Right,

729
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:18.480
<v Speaker 1>how's that? Who are the rooftop people? Who are the

730
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:21.480
<v Speaker 1>rooftop people as we learned during the Rodney King and

731
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:25.719
<v Speaker 1>LA riots. Oh okay, so the rooftop Koreans? Right, So

732
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:29.519
<v Speaker 1>this guy's taking jobs from Korean rooftop people.

733
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you follow that one guy on social on X

734
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:36.239
<v Speaker 2>there's the one rooftop Korean his name is something Moon,

735
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:39.920
<v Speaker 2>his last name is Moon. But he's crazy like he is.

736
00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:42.639
<v Speaker 2>He's based as all hell, believe it or not, and

737
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:44.519
<v Speaker 2>he flies off the handle.

738
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Man.

739
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:45.880
<v Speaker 2>He's he's entertaining.

740
00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think I've seen his stuff.

741
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that this should be follow with the show.

742
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.920
<v Speaker 2>He's a good he's a good follow Okay, Yeah, this

743
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.679
<v Speaker 2>guy's This guy's taking you know, trying to take jobs

744
00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:01.760
<v Speaker 2>from a Korean liquor store into convenience store owners.

745
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Because I think the dudes in LA this lunatic. Let's

746
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 1>play Lunatic's audio one more time, shall we?

747
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:11.000
<v Speaker 7>Honestly, the only way anything's going to change in this

748
00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:16.159
<v Speaker 7>country is if more people embrace recreational terrorism. There's been

749
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:19.920
<v Speaker 7>a lot of recent videos of ice raids, and I

750
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:23.280
<v Speaker 7>can't help but feel like there's all these empty rooftops

751
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:27.679
<v Speaker 7>here where citizens could go and show their appreciation for

752
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:32.800
<v Speaker 7>these literal Nazis terrorizing their communities. They could go up

753
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.480
<v Speaker 7>there and show their support.

754
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And here's the thing. I just want to be clear.

755
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want anyone recreationally or otherwise going, hey, you

756
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, I'm gonna embrace some terrorism. But more I

757
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:51.559
<v Speaker 1>just want to point this out. I find it really

758
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:57.960
<v Speaker 1>amusing whenever I see the tough guy leftist protesters who

759
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:02.960
<v Speaker 1>think they will want to get into essentially a civil

760
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:08.519
<v Speaker 1>war with the Maga folk. Do you think that's gonna

761
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:12.719
<v Speaker 1>work out for you? Do you want? Do you you

762
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you wanna? You wanna go at like all the Hillbillies

763
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.599
<v Speaker 1>that live in Joco or Rockingham or one of the

764
00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:24.199
<v Speaker 1>You don't want that, I say Hillbillies affectionately. You don't

765
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:26.599
<v Speaker 1>want to get into it in mass with those people.

766
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:28.480
<v Speaker 2>You want to mess with the with the mountain the

767
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:30.880
<v Speaker 2>mountain folk. I don't think so, Yeah, yeah, right.

768
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you want. When I was over in Waynesvill, you

769
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want you don't want that. You don't want the

770
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:40.599
<v Speaker 1>guys at that gas station that I stopped at yesterday

771
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:43.760
<v Speaker 1>when I was driving over there, which are all good

772
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.480
<v Speaker 1>old boys for lunch eating, you know what, they had

773
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:48.480
<v Speaker 1>like some sandwiches over in the gas station. They're all

774
00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:52.599
<v Speaker 1>sitting there eating in their work trucks. Yeah, and they

775
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're they're got pipeline, their construction guys, all

776
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of that. You don't those guys. You don't have many

777
00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:00.920
<v Speaker 1>guns they have. They have all the guns and they

778
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:07.000
<v Speaker 1>like shooting them, So don't do it. You ever noticed

779
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:09.159
<v Speaker 1>those videos where they have do you remember, like the

780
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Antifa where they were like training in the mountains, but

781
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:16.119
<v Speaker 1>they're all like a buck five, dripping wet, and they're

782
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:20.159
<v Speaker 1>doing like this weird Steven segall knockoff bad Ninja stuff

783
00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's and they're serious. They're like, oh, we're getting

784
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:26.760
<v Speaker 1>ready for you. It's just you don't want this, sir.

785
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:32.360
<v Speaker 1>So as much as this fever dream enticed you enough

786
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:34.679
<v Speaker 1>to make this video, that probably got you on the

787
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.280
<v Speaker 1>radar of some government agencies, so good luck with that.

788
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel that it works out for you. Also,

789
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I kind of think that the other side's gonna have

790
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Schwarzenegger on their team. You don't want that either.

791
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't care how old the dude's getting, he's still

792
00:43:54.039 --> 00:44:00.000
<v Speaker 1>he'll squish you. And also he will make the ladies

793
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the View said, I'll explain next here on the CaCO

794
00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Day radio program, Arnold Arnold Schwartzeneger was on The View yesterday.

795
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Of course, you know, Arnold is the former governor, obviously

796
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Republican governor, but a California Republican governor. And it's you know,

797
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.880
<v Speaker 1>as far as a fealty to always being on one

798
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.239
<v Speaker 1>side of the issue or the other. You know, I've

799
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.559
<v Speaker 1>seen Schwarzenegger over the years really come down. You don't

800
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:29.000
<v Speaker 1>know where he's going to come down on stuff. But

801
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the ladies of the View, they must have thought he

802
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was going to be all about because you know, the

803
00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:35.880
<v Speaker 1>California connection. He was going to be all about whatever

804
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:39.840
<v Speaker 1>they were pushing yesterday. And it was was kind of

805
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:43.239
<v Speaker 1>funny to watch the interview because it's clear while they

806
00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:47.400
<v Speaker 1>thought that, it started going in a decidedly different direction

807
00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:51.559
<v Speaker 1>when they started discussing the ice raids, the protests and

808
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:56.199
<v Speaker 1>all the rest. And you're gonna hear it. But also

809
00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you got to understand, and this is a weird thing

810
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:01.159
<v Speaker 1>they do with the View where they start hands on you.

811
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:05.480
<v Speaker 1>And I don't mean like in a positive way, like, oh,

812
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:08.440
<v Speaker 1>he's praying, everybody put a hand on was pray for? No,

813
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:12.719
<v Speaker 1>They're like, it's the international view sign for shut up,

814
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.079
<v Speaker 1>and Arnold's not having any of it. I don't know

815
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:17.719
<v Speaker 1>how you thought that that was going to work.

816
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:20.119
<v Speaker 6>Listen to this now, if you are an immigrant, you're

817
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.559
<v Speaker 6>an immigrants country, did you have a visceral reaction to

818
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:26.480
<v Speaker 6>what they're doing, what is is doing when you see

819
00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:29.400
<v Speaker 6>the videos of it? Well, I tell you you said

820
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:35.800
<v Speaker 6>that the immigrant I'm so proud and happy that I

821
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:41.320
<v Speaker 6>was impraised by the American people like that. I mean,

822
00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:43.920
<v Speaker 6>imagine they came over here at the age of twenty one,

823
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 6>but absolutely nothing. And then to create a Korea like that,

824
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:53.679
<v Speaker 6>I mean, in no other country in the world could

825
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:56.840
<v Speaker 6>you do that. Every single thing, if it's a bodybuild

826
00:45:56.880 --> 00:46:01.599
<v Speaker 6>in Korea, if it's my acting Korea becoming governor, the

827
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:04.559
<v Speaker 6>beautiful family that have created.

828
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:06.519
<v Speaker 4>All of this is because of America.

829
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.159
<v Speaker 6>And so this is why I'm so so happy to

830
00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:14.719
<v Speaker 6>see firsthand that this is the greatest country in the world,

831
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:16.800
<v Speaker 6>and this is the land of opportunity.

832
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, all right, And again this requires this this

833
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:23.639
<v Speaker 1>this thing that we do where we can't tell the

834
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:27.000
<v Speaker 1>difference between legal and illegal. So now they think, all right,

835
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Arnold's on our side, right, Well, not smart.

836
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:32.159
<v Speaker 6>But the key thing also is at the same time

837
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:35.039
<v Speaker 6>that you got to do things legal. That is the

838
00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:35.880
<v Speaker 6>important thing, you know.

839
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:37.519
<v Speaker 4>So you've got to do things legal.

840
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:40.960
<v Speaker 6>And those people that are doing illegal things in America

841
00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:46.519
<v Speaker 6>and they're there foreigners, they are not smart. Because when

842
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:51.079
<v Speaker 6>you come to America, your guest, and you have to

843
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:53.840
<v Speaker 6>behave like a guest, Like when I go to someone's

844
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:57.280
<v Speaker 6>house and I'm a guest, then that will do everything

845
00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:01.239
<v Speaker 6>I can, keep things clean and to make my paid

846
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:03.440
<v Speaker 6>and to do everything that is the right thing to do,

847
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.760
<v Speaker 6>rather than committing a crime of being abusive with something

848
00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:08.920
<v Speaker 6>like that. So that doesn't really work in this country.

849
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.119
<v Speaker 1>So I hang out. I just I'm gonna posit here

850
00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:12.920
<v Speaker 1>just because I need a little more time for the

851
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:17.159
<v Speaker 1>rest of this clip. Seven thirty five and we are

852
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:19.480
<v Speaker 1>we're talking through some audio. I'm gonna grab a quick

853
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:23.079
<v Speaker 1>phone call too, because one of that kicked off all

854
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:27.599
<v Speaker 1>of the audio this morning was this guy who was

855
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:32.480
<v Speaker 1>promoting something called recreational terrorism, which again here.

856
00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:35.159
<v Speaker 7>Here we go the only way anything's going to change

857
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:39.840
<v Speaker 7>in this country is if more people embrace recreational terrorism.

858
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:43.320
<v Speaker 7>There's been a lot of recent videos of ice raids,

859
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:46.280
<v Speaker 7>and I can't help but feel like there's all these

860
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:51.039
<v Speaker 7>empty rooftops here where citizens could go and show their appreciation.

861
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:53.159
<v Speaker 1>All right, so you get the gist of why this

862
00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:57.119
<v Speaker 1>guy's on a list now, Probably first, don't do that,

863
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:02.920
<v Speaker 1>regardless of how you feel politically. Also, uh, as far

864
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.719
<v Speaker 1>as the rooftop goes the Korean, that's the Koreans. They

865
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:11.039
<v Speaker 1>got that, that's theirs. Okay, So in in in California

866
00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:14.800
<v Speaker 1>based riotous or protest situations, the Koreans have it. So

867
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:19.679
<v Speaker 1>now you're culturally appropriating stuff too, so FYI are there.

868
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:21.960
<v Speaker 1>But also you don't want to I don't think you

869
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.239
<v Speaker 1>want to get into it with I do a bunch

870
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:28.280
<v Speaker 1>of dudes who do roofing all day, crawing roofs because

871
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:34.719
<v Speaker 1>uh uh they're probably better armed than you, probably a

872
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:36.960
<v Speaker 1>better shot than you too, So you don't think about

873
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:39.880
<v Speaker 1>think about what it is you're promoting, sir. All right,

874
00:48:39.880 --> 00:48:41.440
<v Speaker 1>hold on, we have a recreation ross. We have a

875
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:45.360
<v Speaker 1>recreational terrorist on the Oh look at this. Okay, hold on, Anthony,

876
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:46.159
<v Speaker 1>what's up?

877
00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:50.079
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I do commercial rights stacy, and I'm on a

878
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.119
<v Speaker 8>roof seventy five percent of I'm gonna.

879
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:53.239
<v Speaker 4>Be in there up on the roof all week.

880
00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I ain't doing nothing of their recreationally, right.

881
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:00.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a that's a fair point too. Well, you got

882
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to embrace it, sir. What a great side hustle for you.

883
00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Since you're already on the roof, right, clock it out

884
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, terrorize or whatever.

885
00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:12.119
<v Speaker 6>So I clock out him getting off the roof. I

886
00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:12.920
<v Speaker 6>ain't staying up there.

887
00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, all right, Well, look you're if you ever,

888
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:20.599
<v Speaker 1>if you ever change your feelings, just know that this

889
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:25.840
<v Speaker 1>is the thing my friend. Okay, Yeah, that ain't gonna happen. Okay,

890
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.440
<v Speaker 1>all right, we'll look at that. And he but ross

891
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.440
<v Speaker 1>he has to say that, you know, right, He can't

892
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:33.000
<v Speaker 1>be like, yeah, that's what I'm doing. So I get

893
00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:36.519
<v Speaker 1>what's up. It's okay, Anthony, we won't help you. So

894
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:40.280
<v Speaker 1>anyway back to this, Arnold Schwarzenegger's on the view. They

895
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:43.639
<v Speaker 1>hit him with the you're an immigrant, don't you hate

896
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump? Uh? And what he's doing a line of questioning,

897
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:48.639
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of what you expect from the view,

898
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 1>and again it is this thing where we are we

899
00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:57.119
<v Speaker 1>have an inability to recognize that there's legal and illegal immigration.

900
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:01.400
<v Speaker 1>And regardless of whether you want all the immigrants or

901
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:06.199
<v Speaker 1>you want no immigrants, the discussion as to a legal

902
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:10.320
<v Speaker 1>means is a healthy discussion, right, all right, So what

903
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:13.800
<v Speaker 1>should the laws be? And normal people would say, and

904
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:17.079
<v Speaker 1>the polling backs this up that if we have laws,

905
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that we should follow laws. Pretty common sense, and it

906
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:25.159
<v Speaker 1>is the majority position that being said, when they think

907
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:27.760
<v Speaker 1>they got Arnold, they don't realize they don't have Arnold

908
00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:31.119
<v Speaker 1>because after he says, look, I'm an immigrant, it was

909
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:34.880
<v Speaker 1>thank you guys for embracing me. What a career I

910
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.679
<v Speaker 1>built here. The fact remains that Arnold immigrated to the

911
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:44.480
<v Speaker 1>US legally, eventually became a citizen, became a governor. Bill Burr, who,

912
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.039
<v Speaker 1>by the way, that guy's just off the deep end now.

913
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:50.039
<v Speaker 1>But he has a great bit that he did as

914
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.239
<v Speaker 1>part of one of his comedy specials where he's talking

915
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:57.239
<v Speaker 1>about Arnold and that story where he hooked up with

916
00:50:57.320 --> 00:50:59.480
<v Speaker 1>his housekeeper, Right, you remember that when he was okay,

917
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, why would you hook up with the

918
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:05.159
<v Speaker 1>housekeeper your Arnold and Basically the crux of the bit is,

919
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:07.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're Arnold Swartzenegger, you think you can do whatever

920
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:10.639
<v Speaker 1>you want because you've been in the zone your entire life, right, Like.

921
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:12.320
<v Speaker 2>The bit was, how could he do that, you know,

922
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.639
<v Speaker 2>in his own bedroom with the maid? Obviously you'd get

923
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:17.800
<v Speaker 2>caught and they're like, well, no, because he's been in

924
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:20.039
<v Speaker 2>the zone for decades, Like.

925
00:51:20.199 --> 00:51:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna go to America and nobody can understand

926
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:27.159
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying and become an actor. Right, I'm gonna

927
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:30.599
<v Speaker 1>marry a Kennedy. Right, It's just there's a whole list there.

928
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:33.159
<v Speaker 1>It's really funny, right, like on.

929
00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:35.880
<v Speaker 2>The amazing things that Arnold has pulled off in his life, right,

930
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:38.280
<v Speaker 2>you would think, like, you know, cheating on his wife

931
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:39.880
<v Speaker 2>with the maid in his own and you know, in

932
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:42.639
<v Speaker 2>his bed, right is, yeah, would be at the bottom

933
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:44.639
<v Speaker 2>of the list there, because he's pulled off so many

934
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:45.400
<v Speaker 2>incredible feats.

935
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:46.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

936
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so it so I would encourage you to listen

937
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 1>to it if you ever come across it on Twitter there.

938
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:55.159
<v Speaker 1>But but that being said, it's what Arnold then starts

939
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:57.079
<v Speaker 1>to explain to the ladies, and you can hear, especially

940
00:51:57.079 --> 00:51:59.000
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of this cut you hear them kind of.

941
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember exactly what they say. We'll play it

942
00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:04.280
<v Speaker 1>again here, but you can hear where they they immediately

943
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:06.599
<v Speaker 1>realize that they're not getting the answer they thought they were.

944
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:09.159
<v Speaker 2>There's like ah, and they try to touch them and

945
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:12.639
<v Speaker 2>try to interrupt him and change the conversation. You're trying

946
00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:13.840
<v Speaker 2>to alt alpha, Arnold?

947
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Are you had good luck with that? What was What

948
00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:19.760
<v Speaker 1>were you telling me about the video you saw of

949
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:23.440
<v Speaker 1>him recently of back or the picture when he was

950
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:26.079
<v Speaker 1>still doing the fitness competitions.

951
00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:28.639
<v Speaker 2>So I saw this video yesterday, so you know, X

952
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:31.880
<v Speaker 2>does what it does, and that becomes my entire timeline. Right,

953
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:33.719
<v Speaker 2>you look at something for too long and that becomes here,

954
00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:36.000
<v Speaker 2>or you like something once and that becomes your entire

955
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:38.639
<v Speaker 2>timeline for a while. So I like this post about

956
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:40.519
<v Speaker 2>him on the view, and then I saw one that

957
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:43.880
<v Speaker 2>populated where it was Arnold standing on the podium doing

958
00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:46.119
<v Speaker 2>like you know, pose from the back in like nineteen

959
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:48.639
<v Speaker 2>seventy seven. I believe it like mister Olympian or something.

960
00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:54.599
<v Speaker 2>People don't understand how his muscles had muscles on top

961
00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:56.480
<v Speaker 2>of muscles, like I don't how do you even work

962
00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:58.360
<v Speaker 2>out the fourth muscle coming out of your shoulder. I

963
00:52:58.360 --> 00:52:59.360
<v Speaker 2>don't even know what.

964
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Ex Well, if you don't understand how to do that,

965
00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:04.599
<v Speaker 1>you should give up lifting and take up recreational terrorism.

966
00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I like at that.

967
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:08.199
<v Speaker 1>You just made the argument for it. All right, Let's

968
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:10.760
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and play the entire response because it's

969
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:11.199
<v Speaker 1>just great.

970
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:13.000
<v Speaker 6>But the key thing also is at the same time

971
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:15.880
<v Speaker 6>that you got to do things legal. That is the

972
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:18.119
<v Speaker 6>important thing. You know, you got to do things lead

973
00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:22.159
<v Speaker 6>those people that are doing illegal things in America, and

974
00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:27.480
<v Speaker 6>they're the foreigners, they are not smart because when you

975
00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:32.320
<v Speaker 6>come to America, you're guest and you have to behave

976
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:35.039
<v Speaker 6>like a guest. Like when I go to someone's house

977
00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:38.599
<v Speaker 6>and I'm a guest, then that will do everything I can,

978
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.440
<v Speaker 6>keep things clean and to make my path and to

979
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.039
<v Speaker 6>do everything that is the right thing to do, rather

980
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:47.880
<v Speaker 6>than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that.

981
00:53:48.159 --> 00:53:50.079
<v Speaker 6>So that doesn't really work in this country. So I

982
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:53.280
<v Speaker 6>think the important thing is when you become an immigrant

983
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:56.599
<v Speaker 6>to think about, Okay, I go to America because I'm

984
00:53:56.599 --> 00:54:00.320
<v Speaker 6>going to use America for the great opportunity just that

985
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:04.559
<v Speaker 6>America has in education, in jobs, creating a family, all

986
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:07.199
<v Speaker 6>of this kind of things, then you have to think about, Okay,

987
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.239
<v Speaker 6>if I get all of those things from America, then

988
00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:13.400
<v Speaker 6>I have to give something back. You have a responsibility

989
00:54:13.440 --> 00:54:16.400
<v Speaker 6>as an immigrant to give back to America and to

990
00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:19.039
<v Speaker 6>pay back to America, and to go and do something

991
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:22.239
<v Speaker 6>for your community for no money whatsoever. Give something back

992
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:25.920
<v Speaker 6>to after school program especially what's like whatever it is

993
00:54:26.599 --> 00:54:27.360
<v Speaker 6>may just prod be.

994
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:31.039
<v Speaker 2>A blob, all right, So so they're not digging on

995
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:33.599
<v Speaker 2>that answer, not at all.

996
00:54:34.079 --> 00:54:36.559
<v Speaker 1>And there's and again there's something hilarious about if you,

997
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:38.639
<v Speaker 1>like Arnold was a guest at your house and you

998
00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:40.960
<v Speaker 1>wake up, you're like, is that bacon cooking? Right? You

999
00:54:41.079 --> 00:54:44.039
<v Speaker 1>come out, he's dusting stuff, making an omelet right. I

1000
00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:46.199
<v Speaker 1>just for some reason that visual is funny to me

1001
00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that Beings said he's not wrong. And what's even crazier too,

1002
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.519
<v Speaker 1>is like the view the audience is clearly divided because

1003
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.679
<v Speaker 1>it's about half of them clapping, and normally they're clapping

1004
00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:57.719
<v Speaker 1>it like seals at whatever those ladies say.

1005
00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the crazy thing that's not a radical in view.

1006
00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:04.639
<v Speaker 1>No, that's where if you believe polling, that's where most

1007
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:08.760
<v Speaker 1>people are at. Man, it's not crazy. Also, I got

1008
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:13.199
<v Speaker 1>this this discussion on an argument with somebody. Uh the

1009
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:16.760
<v Speaker 1>actually literally the other day we were talking about accents.

1010
00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Another radio guy was talking to and because they were

1011
00:55:20.079 --> 00:55:21.800
<v Speaker 1>asking me like this, why don't we have an accent?

1012
00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:24.400
<v Speaker 2>And I said, yeah, it's kind of a little Texas

1013
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:28.320
<v Speaker 2>with soft southern. It's but it's not a it's not

1014
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a big thing. I don't know how to describe it.

1015
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:34.440
<v Speaker 1>But we were talking about where this guy was from.

1016
00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, he had he had a New York accent,

1017
00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:39.199
<v Speaker 1>and when you do radio, especially when you do radio

1018
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:43.960
<v Speaker 1>different places, your accent softens if you're outside of kind

1019
00:55:43.960 --> 00:55:46.039
<v Speaker 1>of where your normal thing is. And also you may

1020
00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:48.800
<v Speaker 1>pick up a little of the local accent. I arguably

1021
00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:51.639
<v Speaker 1>picked up a little a bit of a Minnesota accent

1022
00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:54.800
<v Speaker 1>when I was up there for like ten years. And

1023
00:55:54.920 --> 00:55:57.280
<v Speaker 1>then the example he goes, but he goes, he goes.

1024
00:55:57.320 --> 00:55:59.880
<v Speaker 1>It's weird though, because there's somewhere like their accent never

1025
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:03.639
<v Speaker 1>goes away, and some do. And the example was Arnold,

1026
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:08.119
<v Speaker 1>And I said, Arnold probably could have flattened his accent,

1027
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:11.119
<v Speaker 1>but he wouldn't because he wouldn't be Arnold anymore. Do

1028
00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:14.599
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying? Can you imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger

1029
00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:15.480
<v Speaker 1>without an accent.

1030
00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:18.480
<v Speaker 2>You ever see like the you know, the original Conan

1031
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:20.920
<v Speaker 2>movie that he was in where they over dubbed his

1032
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:24.119
<v Speaker 2>voice right with like yeah, super americ, like no accent

1033
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:26.639
<v Speaker 2>at all, and it's so d it's it's like, it's

1034
00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:28.920
<v Speaker 2>not Arnold. It's bad, and like, why don't just you

1035
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:30.920
<v Speaker 2>go back and watch it, And you understand why at

1036
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the time, because he was so new and people didn't

1037
00:56:33.079 --> 00:56:35.199
<v Speaker 2>know it was Arnold, right, But you go back and

1038
00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:37.119
<v Speaker 2>watch it and you're like it makes you uncomfortable because

1039
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:38.039
<v Speaker 2>you're like, that's not the dude.

1040
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:38.280
<v Speaker 6>I know.

1041
00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:42.119
<v Speaker 1>I can't I can't get to If he couldn't say

1042
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:44.320
<v Speaker 1>get to the Choppa the way that he says it,

1043
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:48.639
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be Arnold talking. So in all seriousness, I

1044
00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:52.440
<v Speaker 1>think that he made a conscious decision not to improve

1045
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:56.079
<v Speaker 1>his accent. As weird as that sounds, Look, I know people.

1046
00:56:56.960 --> 00:56:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I know people from I'll give you an example yesterday,

1047
00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:06.719
<v Speaker 1>literally yesterday at the hotel where I'm staying at actually

1048
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:08.559
<v Speaker 1>it's the hotel next their own by the same In fact,

1049
00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:09.760
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk to the guy who owns the

1050
00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:13.639
<v Speaker 1>hotel coming up here in about twenty minutes. His manager

1051
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:16.480
<v Speaker 1>is this really nice woman. We were putting together some

1052
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:20.320
<v Speaker 1>plans for some broadcast stuff that we were doing, and

1053
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:25.199
<v Speaker 1>she has a hint of an Australian accent, just a hint,

1054
00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:28.480
<v Speaker 1>And I asked her, even though I guess you're not

1055
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:31.719
<v Speaker 1>supposed to, I'm like, am I picking up Australian? And

1056
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:32.960
<v Speaker 1>she was telling me the story and all that.

1057
00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Again, such a nice lady.

1058
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:38.599
<v Speaker 1>Clearly she's lost most of it though, unless you kind

1059
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:40.440
<v Speaker 1>of hear it in the background. And that happens to

1060
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:42.840
<v Speaker 1>some people. But for Arnold you couldn't do it because

1061
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:44.199
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't be Arnold anymore.

1062
00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:47.400
<v Speaker 2>You could make the same argument even for someone you

1063
00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:50.199
<v Speaker 2>like American like Sylvester Stallone. Right, you could send him

1064
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:52.719
<v Speaker 2>to like a speech class. But correct, you're going to

1065
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:58.239
<v Speaker 2>ruin what makesly slide? Yeah, everybody can do it. You

1066
00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:02.280
<v Speaker 2>immediately know how to impress it, impersonate him. Yeah, raced

1067
00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:04.840
<v Speaker 2>agic actually French. I don't know if you guys know this.

1068
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:07.760
<v Speaker 2>So we got rid of we we yeah, got rid

1069
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:08.280
<v Speaker 2>of the accent.

1070
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Actually he's not French, he's whatever whatever country where they

1071
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:14.360
<v Speaker 1>like it. When it's one hundred and fifty degrees.

1072
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:18.159
<v Speaker 4>Right that, yeah, deal on the headline again.

1073
00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Goodness, what people weren't going to know it's hot out.

1074
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's all over the inner webs, right.

1075
00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1076
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:28.039
<v Speaker 8>I'm just talking to somebody yesterday that I was talking

1077
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:32.199
<v Speaker 8>about a Bermuda high and the innerwebs, and they're kind

1078
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:34.679
<v Speaker 8>of like, what are you talking about Bermuda? I mean,

1079
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:36.400
<v Speaker 8>haven't you heard the term Bermuda high.

1080
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I've heard of people going into Bermuda and getting high.

1081
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Right, But yeah, show sorry, sorry.

1082
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:48.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm just waiting for you to mess up heat index again.

1083
00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Or in disease. He didn't decease.

1084
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:53.800
<v Speaker 8>If there's more than whether it's just one heat it depends,

1085
00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:56.119
<v Speaker 8>it's because I'm talking about multiple places, so it would

1086
00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:58.519
<v Speaker 8>be he didn't decease. Maybe at one hundred today the

1087
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:02.320
<v Speaker 8>heat index at or over one hundred, a few clouds otherwise,

1088
00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:05.360
<v Speaker 8>sunny and hot today, little bit nineties. Tomorrow we may

1089
00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:07.440
<v Speaker 8>throw a couple of showers thunder showers around, but the

1090
00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:10.559
<v Speaker 8>same in terms of temperatures. I mean for the triangle,

1091
00:59:10.639 --> 00:59:13.440
<v Speaker 8>we could have a ninety five ninety six today tomorrow,

1092
00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:16.840
<v Speaker 8>try it maybe low nineties. The way you slice it,

1093
00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:19.199
<v Speaker 8>that's hot. Then we will get this front to come through.

1097
00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:33.280
<v Speaker 8>we'll have to run into that, and that may actually

1098
00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:36.599
<v Speaker 8>give us a little break. Friday, mid upper eighties sunshine

1112
01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Hang on, coming up here at eight oh five, we're

1113
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:19.599
<v Speaker 1>going to I've been talking about the hotel. I was

1114
01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:21.719
<v Speaker 1>staying at there's two of them Cambria. Hey, we're gonna

1115
01:00:21.719 --> 01:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>talk to the guy who owns the place and just

1116
01:00:24.639 --> 01:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>really get a sense of because we talked about Biltmore Village,

1117
01:00:28.039 --> 01:00:31.599
<v Speaker 1>that area what they call the rad District and downtown

1118
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and really the impact and what happened with Helene and

1119
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:40.480
<v Speaker 1>where everybody's at downtown Ashville was banging. Would I showed

1120
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>up on Sunday, which of course was Father's Day. It

1121
01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>looked like it looked like when I've got been to

1122
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Asheville in the past. So we'll get the perspective of downtown.

1123
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to the owner there, coming up here at

1124
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>eight oh five, but real quick, this all right? So Ross,

1125
01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:59.199
<v Speaker 1>do you know what the runestones are up in Minnesota,

1126
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Michigan and up into Canada. Have you heard of these things?

1127
01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:03.239
<v Speaker 2>I have none?

1128
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:05.679
<v Speaker 1>You I heard of the runstone all right? So I

1129
01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>think most of them are bs right where they're just

1130
01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>like because they think there's this yeah where they think

1131
01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings like went all the way into Minnesota and

1132
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the did runestones. I never bought into it.

1133
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>And they're like tablets and stuff with these with this

1134
01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:19.079
<v Speaker 2>writing on it.

1135
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:19.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

1136
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in the farmers Field. So they found in like

1137
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:24.519
<v Speaker 1>a Canadian force just north of the up up there

1138
01:01:24.519 --> 01:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>in Michigan, they found this this what they thought was

1139
01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:31.559
<v Speaker 1>a runestone. It's not a runestone. They tried. They finally

1140
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:34.719
<v Speaker 1>excavated and translated it, and they thought they thought they

1141
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>had found like the Vikings made it all the way

1142
01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:40.119
<v Speaker 1>to just north of Michigan. There they translated you know what,

1143
01:01:40.199 --> 01:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>it was the Lord's prayer. The Lord's prayer and not

1144
01:01:46.119 --> 01:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Viking hieroglyphics. What they think it was is Swedish workers

1145
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:53.599
<v Speaker 1>who were hired by the Hudson Bay Company, but I

1146
01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>guess got bored and decided to carve the Lord's Prayer.

1147
01:01:56.079 --> 01:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Into this giant stone. So it's kind of based what

1148
01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>they found up there.

1149
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>But I was kind of following this because I had

1150
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>like an unhealthy interest in the runestones when I was

1151
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>working in Minnesota. But no, according to the Ontario Center

1152
01:02:11.880 --> 01:02:19.159
<v Speaker 1>for Archaeological Education who handled the translation, just Swedish shipping workers.

1153
01:02:19.239 --> 01:02:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Guys were working off the gun flint in Minnesota, logging, trapping,

1154
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>doing all sorts of stuff, just carve with the Lord's prayer.

1155
01:02:26.880 --> 01:02:29.519
<v Speaker 1>And there's apparently like four other stones they found. So

1156
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>we will see what's going on there? Let's see here

1157
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>therees it four other No, I'm sorry, it's three other

1158
01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>stones for total, so but yeah, not Nordic ruins.

1159
01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Where do you tend to lie in that? Do you

1160
01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>tend to lie like the one the farmer found? Do

1161
01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>you think it's like a hoax, like he did it

1162
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>or do you think?

1163
01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:47.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that.

1164
01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think necessarily that farmer did it, because it's

1165
01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:52.159
<v Speaker 1>like this guy and his wife, if you know the story.

1166
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he did it. I think somebody did

1167
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it and they weren't wearing pelts, and they didn't just

1168
01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, ravage and rape and pillage a trading post

1169
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:02.199
<v Speaker 1>in Greenland before they did it, you know what I'm saying.

1170
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's quite that old, but it's cool.

1171
01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I've actually seen some of the stones. And then after

1172
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:11.559
<v Speaker 1>that happened, after that stone was unearthed like eighty years

1173
01:03:11.599 --> 01:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>ago or whenever they found it, then all of a sudden,

1174
01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>all these other farmers and like central Minnesota's like I

1175
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>found a stone too, and they're clearly fakes, they're not real.

1176
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>But because I think there was like one hundred and

1177
01:03:25.639 --> 01:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>ten stones or something, some crazy number but yeah, that's

1178
01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:31.719
<v Speaker 1>just people. I don't know if they thought they'd get

1179
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>more money or just get their face in the paper

1180
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:37.920

1202
01:04:37.559 --> 01:04:41.159
<v Speaker 1>center city business owners following Helene. And that's where I

1203
01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:44.679
<v Speaker 1>want to start this conversation because I have I've been

1204
01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:47.679
<v Speaker 1>to Biltmore Village area, the rad area, saw the water

1205
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:50.679
<v Speaker 1>line on the building down there, and depending on where

1206
01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you were in Ashville, it was a very different experience

1207
01:04:54.440 --> 01:04:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the day of and then you had to kick into

1208
01:04:56.639 --> 01:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>the community experience post. So let's let's start with did

1209
01:05:01.280 --> 01:05:04.679
<v Speaker 1>you And I've asked everybody this. You knew it was coming, right,

1210
01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:07.159
<v Speaker 1>you're tracking, they get the weather, the spaghetti models with

1211
01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>the hurricane, and they're predicting. They were predicting a lot

1212
01:05:10.719 --> 01:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>of rain. When did it start to exceed what even

1213
01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you thought that you guys were going to see up here.

1214
01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:19.920
<v Speaker 9>Well, first again, thank you for having me and that

1215
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:24.920
<v Speaker 9>education earlier. For the roomstones, hey man, rootstones are cool.

1216
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I love history.

1217
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:28.119
<v Speaker 3>So I'm originally from South Florida.

1218
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:30.159
<v Speaker 9>I moved here twelve years ago, but coming back and

1219
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:36.719
<v Speaker 9>forth since two thousand and two. I first was surprised, generally,

1220
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:39.599
<v Speaker 9>I mean completely surprised because I never thought hurricane and

1221
01:05:39.639 --> 01:05:43.440
<v Speaker 9>ashe actual would be in the same sentence, It didn't hit.

1222
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:47.639
<v Speaker 3>Me, Casey until the next day. The day after during

1223
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:49.280
<v Speaker 3>the storm, I was up all night.

1224
01:05:50.760 --> 01:05:54.119
<v Speaker 9>I'm married, and I have four kids, and they're older

1225
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:56.760
<v Speaker 9>my kids as far as you know, one already finished school,

1226
01:05:56.840 --> 01:05:59.559
<v Speaker 9>so he actually lives in South Florida working down there

1227
01:05:59.719 --> 01:06:01.840
<v Speaker 9>and after in school. And my wife happened to go

1228
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:05.599
<v Speaker 9>down there for I forgot something that she had to

1229
01:06:05.639 --> 01:06:07.320
<v Speaker 9>go down there for. And I was here stuck with

1230
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:09.719
<v Speaker 9>my daughter, and so it's just her and I in

1231
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:11.559
<v Speaker 9>the house, and I was just looking at my backyard

1232
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:12.280
<v Speaker 9>going crazy.

1233
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:12.840
<v Speaker 6>You know.

1234
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:15.960
<v Speaker 9>I think we lost something like twenty five trees, but

1235
01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:20.199
<v Speaker 9>I really didn't actually get the just.

1236
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:21.559
<v Speaker 2>So exactly what's stroing.

1237
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:24.239
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, So I grab her, my daughter because of the

1238
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:27.320
<v Speaker 9>businesses that you mentioned and everything else, and I and

1239
01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:29.880
<v Speaker 9>we were able to get on twenty six, which was

1240
01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:32.320
<v Speaker 9>eerie because we were the only ones on twenty six.

1241
01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>And that would be a first. Actually, every time I've

1242
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>been on twenty six, I'd never been the only one.

1243
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:40.360
<v Speaker 9>I had a flashback of COVID times, but yes, and

1244
01:06:41.039 --> 01:06:43.639
<v Speaker 9>I ended up going to drive up to the river,

1245
01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:47.840
<v Speaker 9>and that's that's when it hit me hardest. And when

1246
01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.920
<v Speaker 9>you you know, everybody that was here at that time

1247
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:55.679
<v Speaker 9>or near that time can inhale what happened. I don't

1248
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:59.559
<v Speaker 9>think you can totally get it until you know. I

1249
01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:02.159
<v Speaker 9>was there with my daughter and you know, she was

1250
01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:04.760
<v Speaker 9>a senior in high school, you just finished graduating, and

1251
01:07:05.440 --> 01:07:09.000
<v Speaker 9>you know, uh, it totally changed her perspective and the

1252
01:07:09.039 --> 01:07:10.559
<v Speaker 9>next thing you do I did.

1253
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Anyways, I I got to downtown and I walked in.

1254
01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:15.880
<v Speaker 3>We had guests.

1255
01:07:17.400 --> 01:07:21.400
<v Speaker 9>That were staying there right and guests you know throughout uh,

1256
01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:24.199
<v Speaker 9>you know with we have the Heywood Park Hotel and

1257
01:07:24.239 --> 01:07:27.239
<v Speaker 9>the Country in the Sweeten their Westgate, and I walked

1258
01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:29.000
<v Speaker 9>into every lobby. Of course, we had no power in

1259
01:07:29.079 --> 01:07:34.159
<v Speaker 9>no water, and even then I thought maybe in a

1260
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.159
<v Speaker 9>couple of days everything of the lights would turn back

1261
01:07:37.239 --> 01:07:41.280
<v Speaker 9>one uh, and of course they didn't, and so I

1262
01:07:41.400 --> 01:07:44.960
<v Speaker 9>went into so I immediately called the you know, my

1263
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:49.079
<v Speaker 9>vice president, the managers and everybody put got into the huddle.

1264
01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:53.039
<v Speaker 9>We can spoke to anybody we can and said listen, uh,

1265
01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:56.159
<v Speaker 9>luckily we still have power in downtown.

1266
01:07:56.960 --> 01:07:59.639
<v Speaker 3>And so at that time we had as bistro MH

1267
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:02.159
<v Speaker 3>and we have him and Waste Cuba. So I'd walk

1268
01:08:02.199 --> 01:08:05.480
<v Speaker 3>in coolers. We need to feed these people. We need

1269
01:08:05.559 --> 01:08:08.079
<v Speaker 3>to you know, you know, forget about trying.

1270
01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>To not just your people.

1271
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to be how many employees do you do

1272
01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>you have between all of your stuff.

1273
01:08:13.159 --> 01:08:15.639
<v Speaker 9>At this moment? I mean, I peak, I guess you

1274
01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:17.520
<v Speaker 9>could say two hundred and twenty five. So I mean

1275
01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:19.600
<v Speaker 9>at this point, at this particular time, I was two

1276
01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:20.119
<v Speaker 9>hundred and ten.

1277
01:08:20.359 --> 01:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, because it's not just your family you're thinking about it,

1278
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:26.439
<v Speaker 1>think about everybody, hundreds of people, and then everyone, you know, right, you.

1279
01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:29.000
<v Speaker 9>Know where I remember my daughter speaking to family saying,

1280
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:30.520
<v Speaker 9>you know, I don't know where we're going to go,

1281
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:32.319
<v Speaker 9>how we're going to get there. I don't know if

1282
01:08:32.359 --> 01:08:34.279
<v Speaker 9>I have a home, I don't know, you know, if

1283
01:08:34.279 --> 01:08:37.119
<v Speaker 9>we can even drive there. All they have is what's

1284
01:08:37.159 --> 01:08:42.039
<v Speaker 9>on on their backs. And we continue to grab the

1285
01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:44.439
<v Speaker 9>food and start cooking. But but we didn't have water.

1286
01:08:45.039 --> 01:08:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah okay, so well you did just not the water

1287
01:08:48.439 --> 01:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>you wanted.

1288
01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:50.479
<v Speaker 3>Well, at that time, we had zero water.

1289
01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah no, I just mean in the community, yeah right right, yeah.

1290
01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then uh I didn't, so how do we

1291
01:08:56.760 --> 01:08:56.920
<v Speaker 3>do this?

1292
01:08:57.039 --> 01:09:00.319
<v Speaker 9>So we had water they had in house, So we

1293
01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:04.239
<v Speaker 9>cooked everything because the gas worked, and then I took

1294
01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:06.359
<v Speaker 9>everything home and I would do shifts.

1295
01:09:07.159 --> 01:09:10.319
<v Speaker 3>And then the other thing is how do you flush toilets? Yeah?

1296
01:09:11.520 --> 01:09:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Uh so uh and I and I'm not talking.

1297
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:17.840
<v Speaker 9>Just look, this is the community all came in together,

1298
01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:21.079
<v Speaker 9>and we all helped everybody, and whoever was in my position,

1299
01:09:21.239 --> 01:09:24.159
<v Speaker 9>pretty much everybody I spoke to one hundred percent did

1300
01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:26.319
<v Speaker 9>the same thing. So we happened to have the country

1301
01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:27.920
<v Speaker 9>in sweets, which as an indoor pool.

1302
01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:29.720
<v Speaker 3>So what did we do.

1303
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:33.199
<v Speaker 9>We got five gallon tanks pulled up to pickup trucks

1304
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:36.680
<v Speaker 9>and floor to floor flushing toilets. I'll give them garbage bags,

1305
01:09:37.399 --> 01:09:40.159
<v Speaker 9>construction bags. Do your business. I'll come back later and

1306
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:40.680
<v Speaker 9>pick it up.

1307
01:09:41.560 --> 01:09:46.960
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I it was. It was tough.

1308
01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:50.520
<v Speaker 9>It was really really tough. But we got through it.

1309
01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:53.279
<v Speaker 9>And you know, instead of saying why, you know, you

1310
01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:54.680
<v Speaker 9>roll up your sleeves and you go forward.

1311
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:55.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1312
01:09:55.439 --> 01:10:00.279
<v Speaker 9>And it was an incredible experience. And I went through

1313
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:03.159
<v Speaker 9>a hurricane. The worst hurricane that i've at that time

1314
01:10:03.279 --> 01:10:05.319
<v Speaker 9>before was Hurricane Andrew ninety two.

1315
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Because you're from South Florida, because they're.

1316
01:10:07.079 --> 01:10:09.760
<v Speaker 9>From South Florida. And I remember telling once we were

1317
01:10:09.800 --> 01:10:12.000
<v Speaker 9>back on the grid, a you know, a week or

1318
01:10:12.039 --> 01:10:16.319
<v Speaker 9>two weeks later, telling everybody from South Florida and my

1319
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:17.800
<v Speaker 9>family there. They're still there.

1320
01:10:18.880 --> 01:10:20.800
<v Speaker 3>This is worse. You know, this is much.

1321
01:10:21.039 --> 01:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>It's got to blow their mind.

1322
01:10:22.439 --> 01:10:25.479
<v Speaker 9>They were you know, you know, they blew their mind. Ye,

1323
01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:28.760
<v Speaker 9>I can't believe you're telling me this. And it was

1324
01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:30.199
<v Speaker 9>because water will received.

1325
01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:32.640
<v Speaker 3>In inland and then leave right it didn't leave.

1326
01:10:32.720 --> 01:10:35.000
<v Speaker 9>And if you recall, we had a storm for three

1327
01:10:35.079 --> 01:10:38.239
<v Speaker 9>days prior to this, two days prior, three days prior.

1328
01:10:38.479 --> 01:10:41.319
<v Speaker 1>For three days, you saw the trees all down. When

1329
01:10:41.359 --> 01:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you're coming into the studio, we're on top of a hill.

1330
01:10:43.640 --> 01:10:45.279
<v Speaker 1>I just want people that we're on top of a

1331
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>hill because our radio towers are up here and I'd

1332
01:10:48.840 --> 01:10:51.439
<v Speaker 1>never seen anything like that. And I look, there's there's

1333
01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>there's people that I've spoke with here who really they're like, oh,

1334
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't talk so much about the damage. Just talking

1335
01:10:56.640 --> 01:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>about but you need to understand how bad it was,

1336
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>so you understand how amazing it is that I show

1337
01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:07.079
<v Speaker 1>up Sunday in downtown Ashville and it's like every other

1338
01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>time up into Ashville. I go up to your restaurant

1339
01:11:09.920 --> 01:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and there's a twenty minute wait to go sit on

1340
01:11:12.680 --> 01:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the patio because you guys had so many people in

1341
01:11:14.920 --> 01:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>there eating. So to go from that to where we

1342
01:11:18.039 --> 01:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>are with so many of these communities and not all

1343
01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:22.359
<v Speaker 1>the communities are there yet, not even all parts of

1344
01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Ashville is there yet. It is really a testament to

1345
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>what you guys were able to pull off.

1346
01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:33.319
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, in the beginning, we had to somehow, we

1347
01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:40.079
<v Speaker 9>had to shake the tree and make everybody aware, from local, regional, state, federal, and.

1348
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Well I'm not going to get.

1349
01:11:42.880 --> 01:11:47.840
<v Speaker 9>Into politics, but really nothing's happened, right, And so that's

1350
01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:50.279
<v Speaker 9>another thing that roll up sleeves. And you know I

1351
01:11:50.359 --> 01:11:52.279
<v Speaker 9>used to tell my kids that when they played soccer.

1352
01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:54.600
<v Speaker 9>You know, if you have your hands up looking for

1353
01:11:54.680 --> 01:11:56.479
<v Speaker 9>a call while you missed the play, you can't recover.

1354
01:11:56.880 --> 01:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's good.

1355
01:11:57.880 --> 01:12:00.880
<v Speaker 3>So I can't leave put your palms up.

1356
01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:03.159
<v Speaker 9>You gotta roll up your sleeves and like I said earlier,

1357
01:12:03.239 --> 01:12:05.800
<v Speaker 9>move forward and figure out another way to get through this.

1358
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:09.520
<v Speaker 9>That's one message. Now that message got a little bit

1359
01:12:09.600 --> 01:12:13.800
<v Speaker 9>more out of control. But just by the common knowledge

1360
01:12:13.840 --> 01:12:16.039
<v Speaker 9>of the world. I mean, you go to Charlotte, people

1361
01:12:16.039 --> 01:12:17.880
<v Speaker 9>are like, are you sure we should go to Ashell?

1362
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:18.079
<v Speaker 7>Now?

1363
01:12:18.600 --> 01:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>This is why we're here.

1364
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:21.640
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I appreciate that This is why I've

1365
01:12:21.680 --> 01:12:22.119
<v Speaker 3>had so.

1366
01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Many people tell me that they went every year to

1367
01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the mountains, they should they go this year, maybe not

1368
01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:30.079
<v Speaker 1>this year, And I'm like, no, they need it now

1369
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>more than ever.

1370
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:31.399
<v Speaker 3>One hundred percent.

1371
01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:33.720
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and so many mark my dad used to say,

1372
01:12:33.760 --> 01:12:36.800
<v Speaker 9>there's two kinds of marketing. A shotgun and a sniper approach.

1373
01:12:37.279 --> 01:12:41.239
<v Speaker 9>You know where about twelve hours away from fifty percent

1374
01:12:41.279 --> 01:12:45.039
<v Speaker 9>of our country? Okay, yeah, all right, that's you. That's

1375
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:48.359
<v Speaker 9>your shotgun. Well, coming in a little closer, let's go

1376
01:12:48.479 --> 01:12:51.760
<v Speaker 9>half a day, all right, I mean six hours. Yeah,

1377
01:12:52.079 --> 01:12:54.159
<v Speaker 9>and that should be our snipper because either spoken about

1378
01:12:54.199 --> 01:12:56.319
<v Speaker 9>coming to Asheville or they've been to Asheville. Well come

1379
01:12:56.399 --> 01:12:58.640
<v Speaker 9>make that memory that you've always wanted to or make

1380
01:12:58.680 --> 01:12:59.159
<v Speaker 9>another one.

1381
01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.479
<v Speaker 1>What's the What's the when people call your hotel and

1382
01:13:02.600 --> 01:13:05.159
<v Speaker 1>talk to your employees? What are they What are they asking?

1383
01:13:05.399 --> 01:13:07.720
<v Speaker 3>What they asked the same questions that you've been asked?

1384
01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:12.239
<v Speaker 3>What's open? What can we see? Are the trails open?

1385
01:13:12.399 --> 01:13:13.279
<v Speaker 1>The parkway open?

1386
01:13:13.399 --> 01:13:14.039
<v Speaker 3>Parkway open?

1387
01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Email that it is open, by the way, Yes it's open,

1388
01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:18.800
<v Speaker 2>and so.

1389
01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:21.039
<v Speaker 3>Are the trails. So it's downtown.

1390
01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:26.039
<v Speaker 9>So so are so many places that in restaurants you know,

1391
01:13:26.159 --> 01:13:31.079
<v Speaker 9>the the the breweries, everything can Some are yes, of course,

1392
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:33.119
<v Speaker 9>some have been hit and it's gonna take some time

1393
01:13:33.199 --> 01:13:40.439
<v Speaker 9>to recover. But the businesses that are open today so

1394
01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:43.000
<v Speaker 9>many marketing words without selling desperate. Is that they that

1395
01:13:43.159 --> 01:13:45.439
<v Speaker 9>this is the time they need you the most. And

1396
01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:47.560
<v Speaker 9>we're look at the weather that were happening. It's still

1397
01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:50.199
<v Speaker 9>beautiful out here. I mean, we have nine months of

1398
01:13:50.199 --> 01:13:52.560
<v Speaker 9>beautiful weather. All the trails where you come here for

1399
01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:55.800
<v Speaker 9>the summer, if you've been in the past, it's it's exactly.

1400
01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:56.039
<v Speaker 3>What you want.

1401
01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>It's it's and it's everyone's melting down in where we

1402
01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:04.039
<v Speaker 1>broadcast down a triangle triad. So I was I was

1403
01:14:04.119 --> 01:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>joking with you. I'm like, I'm not gonna leave you guys,

1404
01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>are gonna have to force me out of town man

1405
01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:10.079
<v Speaker 1>until this weather subsides, because I don't want to drive

1406
01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:13.279
<v Speaker 1>down the mountain. And it was really funny too. I

1407
01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:18.159
<v Speaker 1>was talking to a woman from the Biltmore Village area

1408
01:14:18.279 --> 01:14:21.159
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and she said that one of the questions she gets,

1409
01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>but this speaks to how people make memories and have traditions,

1410
01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>is the fancy McDonald's is that open right right?

1411
01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:31.479
<v Speaker 2>It's with the the baby yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

1412
01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>And it's but but it's it's a testament to the

1413
01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:37.239
<v Speaker 1>memories and the annual traditions that people have.

1414
01:14:37.680 --> 01:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I've got my spots, right, I got my spots that

1415
01:14:39.880 --> 01:14:41.159
<v Speaker 2>I like to go on the regular.

1416
01:14:41.760 --> 01:14:44.039
<v Speaker 1>And you know, there's a couple of places I like

1417
01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>to camp, and there's uh, there's some places I love

1418
01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to eat, and and you know little cafes that are

1419
01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>off the way if you do the Parkway thing or

1420
01:14:51.680 --> 01:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the fud shop at Little Switzerland. I was using an

1421
01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:59.119
<v Speaker 1>example earlier. So anyone who is part of those businesses,

1422
01:14:59.359 --> 01:15:02.159
<v Speaker 1>once you who call them and ask if they're open

1423
01:15:02.279 --> 01:15:04.119
<v Speaker 1>and what's going on, you're not going to bother them.

1424
01:15:05.359 --> 01:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you and I kind of ask

1425
01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:12.399
<v Speaker 1>other people this. Clearly, you're in a competitive business, right,

1426
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>so you have hotels, your competitors have hotels, You have

1427
01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:18.319
<v Speaker 1>restaurants the other ones that all disappears, that all disappears.

1428
01:15:18.319 --> 01:15:19.079
<v Speaker 3>It's collaboration.

1429
01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So what what is what is something that that when

1430
01:15:23.079 --> 01:15:25.239
<v Speaker 1>when you guys were saying, did you guys have meetings

1431
01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>as business owners? Immediately like, how how are we going

1432
01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to do this heavy lift all at once? Not just

1433
01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:33.359
<v Speaker 1>cleaning mud out and figuring out plumbing issues, but really

1434
01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>how how can we do this better? And are there

1435
01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:39.079
<v Speaker 1>ways that you're doing things? But from a business perspective now,

1436
01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say taking lemons and making lemonade,

1437
01:15:42.039 --> 01:15:45.239
<v Speaker 1>but that that allowed you to really adapt and and

1438
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:48.479
<v Speaker 1>and maybe best practices going forward to make things either

1439
01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:50.439
<v Speaker 1>more efficient or more appealing to people.

1440
01:15:50.640 --> 01:15:52.720
<v Speaker 9>It's a great question. I mean the first thing that

1441
01:15:53.840 --> 01:15:57.800
<v Speaker 9>we did as a company is get together with other

1442
01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:02.720
<v Speaker 9>small businesses, not just hoteliers, not just restaurants, but small

1443
01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:06.520
<v Speaker 9>business owners. You know, like the e bike tour guy

1444
01:16:07.199 --> 01:16:09.640
<v Speaker 9>who lost everything in the river. You know, what's that

1445
01:16:09.720 --> 01:16:11.720
<v Speaker 9>guy going to do? How can we get him back

1446
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:15.119
<v Speaker 9>in business? How can we raise money for him? Or

1447
01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:18.800
<v Speaker 9>the ice cream shop or you know, what are we

1448
01:16:18.960 --> 01:16:22.520
<v Speaker 9>going to do? It was also it was survival mode,

1449
01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:24.359
<v Speaker 9>but at the same time, like I said before, we

1450
01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:26.760
<v Speaker 9>got to be proactive and what we do so we

1451
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:30.880
<v Speaker 9>do a collaboration together and what we can bring the

1452
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:35.680
<v Speaker 9>message out well yelling and screaming, but bring the message

1453
01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:37.439
<v Speaker 9>to how these businesses.

1454
01:16:37.600 --> 01:16:41.159
<v Speaker 3>So we do partnerships with everybody. And yes, so it

1455
01:16:41.279 --> 01:16:43.079
<v Speaker 3>was a task force that we put.

1456
01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:47.560
<v Speaker 9>Together with you know, and from meeting commissioners, to the mayor,

1457
01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:50.560
<v Speaker 9>to you know, you know, the small guy to the

1458
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:53.039
<v Speaker 9>biggest guy in town. Yeah, you know, and I have

1459
01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:56.920
<v Speaker 9>to mention names, but everybody, you know, we we did it.

1460
01:16:57.039 --> 01:17:00.520
<v Speaker 9>We met once a week four months and what we

1461
01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:02.960
<v Speaker 9>did is try to figure out what do we have

1462
01:17:03.079 --> 01:17:05.640
<v Speaker 9>to do next. I spoke a little bit based on

1463
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:09.159
<v Speaker 9>my experiences with hurricane. I mean I was only ninety two,

1464
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:11.640
<v Speaker 9>I was only twenty years old, but you know, I

1465
01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:14.840
<v Speaker 9>remember the experience my father, who was you know, developer

1466
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:17.359
<v Speaker 9>at the time, what he did, how he did. I

1467
01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:21.479
<v Speaker 9>even called Homestead, Florida, which is south of Miami right

1468
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:25.000
<v Speaker 9>got devastated. I mean they got plowed during Hurricane Andrew.

1469
01:17:25.159 --> 01:17:28.560
<v Speaker 9>I called that mayor of that time and who is now.

1470
01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:33.640
<v Speaker 9>He's in Minnesota, I believe, and he called me back

1471
01:17:34.039 --> 01:17:38.239
<v Speaker 9>and you know, gave me some advice and I mean

1472
01:17:38.319 --> 01:17:40.720
<v Speaker 9>not to go on about what had hit and how

1473
01:17:41.039 --> 01:17:44.680
<v Speaker 9>hurt everybody is. But we need help on that end.

1474
01:17:44.720 --> 01:17:47.760
<v Speaker 9>As far as we don't need other we need additional loans,

1475
01:17:48.199 --> 01:17:52.479
<v Speaker 9>we need grants and especially you know the small business owner.

1476
01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:54.760
<v Speaker 9>And that's why they need you here more than anything

1477
01:17:55.119 --> 01:18:01.960
<v Speaker 9>is you know, it's it's so different goal to describe

1478
01:18:02.039 --> 01:18:04.880
<v Speaker 9>what everybody is going through, although it's all the same,

1479
01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:07.720
<v Speaker 9>you know what I mean the same is you know,

1480
01:18:07.960 --> 01:18:12.760
<v Speaker 9>the the immediate impact that I had on you. Family First, Okay,

1481
01:18:12.760 --> 01:18:14.560
<v Speaker 9>are they safe this and that? I mean I know

1482
01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:18.359
<v Speaker 9>families that are not here anymore, right, Uh, you know

1483
01:18:18.479 --> 01:18:21.359
<v Speaker 9>that's that's devastating. Hell I I lost twenty two trees

1484
01:18:21.359 --> 01:18:22.720
<v Speaker 9>in the back of my house, so what.

1485
01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:27.079
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's what's crazy. I mean, that's everybody has

1486
01:18:27.119 --> 01:18:29.760
<v Speaker 1>their own experience and you feel guilty saying that, correct

1487
01:18:30.039 --> 01:18:32.239
<v Speaker 1>because of what they hit. I got about a minute

1488
01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and a half. And there's just two things I want

1489
01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:36.079
<v Speaker 1>to touch with you real quick. One that room that

1490
01:18:36.119 --> 01:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying in over it, Hey what that should be

1491
01:18:37.840 --> 01:18:41.239
<v Speaker 1>two rooms? You're you're losing money, dude. I'm not saying

1492
01:18:41.279 --> 01:18:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that just to be nice because you're a spot. That

1493
01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:44.520
<v Speaker 1>thing's that thing's insane.

1494
01:18:44.640 --> 01:18:47.119
<v Speaker 3>So you don't rent hotel rooms per foot though.

1495
01:18:49.119 --> 01:18:53.039
<v Speaker 1>I get lost in that bathroom back there. But just lastly,

1496
01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:57.079
<v Speaker 1>just real quick, when the Amie started showing up and

1497
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:00.359
<v Speaker 1>building stuff like that blows my mind, man. And they're

1498
01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:05.279
<v Speaker 1>still here. They're still here doing that. So the ways

1499
01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:07.119
<v Speaker 1>in which and many of my listeners helped. They drive

1500
01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:09.279
<v Speaker 1>trucks of water up there. They came up and cut

1501
01:19:09.319 --> 01:19:11.760
<v Speaker 1>trees and all that. This is the fun way to help.

1502
01:19:12.319 --> 01:19:14.279
<v Speaker 3>And I mean one thing I will add is what

1503
01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:15.880
<v Speaker 3>we did. Also, we teamed up with.

1504
01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:21.439
<v Speaker 9>Beyond the Borders and Western North Carolina Rescue Mission at Westgate.

1505
01:19:21.479 --> 01:19:25.039
<v Speaker 9>We had a big empty space. We collected all food goods, cans,

1506
01:19:25.399 --> 01:19:28.880
<v Speaker 9>clothes that probably gave away about three million dollars worth

1507
01:19:28.920 --> 01:19:32.520
<v Speaker 9>of you know, trucks coming from even South Florida, my

1508
01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:33.840
<v Speaker 9>family and this.

1509
01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to cut you off here. I got a

1510
01:19:36.000 --> 01:19:36.920
<v Speaker 1>heart break, I got a hit.

1511
01:19:37.319 --> 01:19:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Alex rago with us.

1512
01:19:39.479 --> 01:19:43.319
<v Speaker 1>The fun way to help is what you have done

1513
01:19:43.359 --> 01:19:45.520
<v Speaker 1>in the past, and that is to take that vacation

1514
01:19:45.840 --> 01:19:49.359
<v Speaker 1>and enjoy the food, stay in the hotels, hike the trails,

1515
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:52.359
<v Speaker 1>drive the parkway, and if you got questions, as you

1516
01:19:52.439 --> 01:19:55.319
<v Speaker 1>heard Alex say, call and ask. They love to answer. Alex,

1517
01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:58.039
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate you joining us this morning. Okay, Well

1518
01:19:58.079 --> 01:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that they can add one with thing real you got

1519
01:19:59.560 --> 01:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>five second.

1520
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:02.680
<v Speaker 3>It's fun. That's the word. It's it's a small, little

1521
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:04.680
<v Speaker 3>three letter word, but it's a huge word.

1522
01:20:08.199 --> 01:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I was going to ask it during the interview with

1523
01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Alex there and then I forgot, Uh that's on me. Uh,

1524
01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:18.560
<v Speaker 1>but this was actually a question. So it's one of

1525
01:20:18.600 --> 01:20:21.319
<v Speaker 1>our listeners was wondering, what's the state with Mount Mitchell

1526
01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>right now? It's my understanding, so I asked, I did

1527
01:20:25.079 --> 01:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>ask Alex off the here. So it's closed, but Mount

1528
01:20:28.199 --> 01:20:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell didn't close. Isn't closed because of Helene actually, which

1529
01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize. I knew it had been closed, and

1530
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I just assumed it was closed because of Helene, but

1531
01:20:37.479 --> 01:20:40.920
<v Speaker 1>actually it was because of some they had ice and

1532
01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:45.920
<v Speaker 1>snow that damaged it over this last winter, so I

1533
01:20:46.800 --> 01:20:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I did not know. So there there that is that

1534
01:20:50.279 --> 01:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>is still the case. So to answer your question, there

1535
01:20:53.479 --> 01:20:56.319
<v Speaker 1>but the parkway itself and uh most of the those

1536
01:20:56.359 --> 01:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>are open. But again just you know, reach out and

1537
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:04.520
<v Speaker 1>reach out and ask. It's it's really that simple that

1538
01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:06.279
<v Speaker 1>he said. If you guys want to call it and

1539
01:21:06.399 --> 01:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>ask his people anything you want, they're happy to answer. Okay,

1540
01:21:10.960 --> 01:21:14.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, a couple things as we roll through the

1541
01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>final half hour of the of the show. Here out

1542
01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in California, they decided to introduce a new what's this

1543
01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>called No Secret Police Act. This is this is super.

1544
01:21:28.720 --> 01:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Performative and I don't frankly, I don't even.

1545
01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Know if this is enforceable in California when as it

1546
01:21:37.920 --> 01:21:41.640
<v Speaker 1>pertains to federal agents, because there there are certain in

1547
01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the course of the federal government carrying out their duties,

1548
01:21:45.159 --> 01:21:47.159
<v Speaker 1>and I can't remember the term for this, there is

1549
01:21:47.239 --> 01:21:52.640
<v Speaker 1>a legal concept where the states can't. They have to

1550
01:21:52.680 --> 01:21:55.159
<v Speaker 1>be very careful in what the state can require of

1551
01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the federal government if it's supposed to be part of

1552
01:21:58.039 --> 01:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>their core duties. Right, this is a new rated power stuff.

1553
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:04.319
<v Speaker 1>So in the state of California, some local lawmakers have

1554
01:22:04.439 --> 01:22:08.199
<v Speaker 1>introduced a bill that would make it illegal for law

1555
01:22:08.319 --> 01:22:10.880
<v Speaker 1>enforcement to wear masks.

1556
01:22:11.399 --> 01:22:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Through in the course of their duties. But this isn't

1557
01:22:16.640 --> 01:22:17.319
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot.

1558
01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Of reasons law enforcement might wear a mask that have

1559
01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with even the current ice stuff that's

1560
01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:26.479
<v Speaker 1>going on there. Right, they could wear a mask because

1561
01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:29.319
<v Speaker 1>they're in it's a hazardous situation. They've shown up and

1562
01:22:29.359 --> 01:22:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the police are needing to be there. But they also

1563
01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>need some sort of protection for their lungs. Like what

1564
01:22:35.960 --> 01:22:40.399
<v Speaker 1>they introduced is is really basic, but it's California, so

1565
01:22:40.479 --> 01:22:44.239
<v Speaker 1>as crazy as it sounds in any other state, you know,

1566
01:22:44.399 --> 01:22:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like in Minnesota when I was working there in the

1567
01:22:47.680 --> 01:22:51.359
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina during my you know, decade and a half here,

1568
01:22:52.239 --> 01:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I have seen where the party that is out of power,

1569
01:22:55.119 --> 01:22:57.439
<v Speaker 1>will you know, they'll introduce some crazy bill. And it's

1570
01:22:57.520 --> 01:22:59.319
<v Speaker 1>not that they think the bill is going to pass.

1571
01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:02.560
<v Speaker 1>It's to get the news cycle and show that they're

1572
01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>doing something right. And by the way, it works both ways, right.

1573
01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:11.039
<v Speaker 1>So up in Minnesota, where the Dems were running everything

1574
01:23:11.119 --> 01:23:13.239
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of years, the Republicans would put these

1575
01:23:13.319 --> 01:23:16.079
<v Speaker 1>performative things knowing that they're not even going to get

1576
01:23:16.079 --> 01:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a hearing. California, this is the kind of stuff that

1577
01:23:18.760 --> 01:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>they pass on a Tuesday. So I don't know what's

1578
01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:25.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen, but I have to assume that frankly, this

1579
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:29.439
<v Speaker 1>thing would be almost unenforceable and likely wouldn't survive an

1580
01:23:29.560 --> 01:23:32.760
<v Speaker 1>honest court hearing. I guess if you judge shop enough,

1581
01:23:33.279 --> 01:23:35.640
<v Speaker 1>by the way, the guy doing it is that Scott

1582
01:23:35.680 --> 01:23:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Wiener dude up in San Francisco, And this is kind

1583
01:23:37.920 --> 01:23:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of hism o. He's the guy. He's the guy who

1584
01:23:41.680 --> 01:23:46.279
<v Speaker 1>successfully killed a bill that would have made what was

1585
01:23:46.359 --> 01:23:52.640
<v Speaker 1>it would have made it a felony to have sex

1586
01:23:52.800 --> 01:23:57.840
<v Speaker 1>with children in older children over the age of sixteen,

1587
01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:01.239
<v Speaker 1>rather than like a gross miss demeanor, which I think

1588
01:24:01.399 --> 01:24:04.000
<v Speaker 1>is way. The law still works, and it's only in

1589
01:24:04.079 --> 01:24:08.000
<v Speaker 1>certain circumstances, but it seemed like a no brainer. He

1590
01:24:08.439 --> 01:24:11.840
<v Speaker 1>successfully fought that off. So the guy's a little out

1591
01:24:11.880 --> 01:24:14.279
<v Speaker 1>there with the stuff that he makes his pet projects,

1592
01:24:14.319 --> 01:24:17.359
<v Speaker 1>but he's got some pretty good name recognition, so I

1593
01:24:17.399 --> 01:24:20.039
<v Speaker 1>guess we'll go ahead and see how that goes, all right,

1594
01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:24.319
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to update you on that as well. R Kelly. R.

1595
01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Kelly apparently had to be rushed to Duke University Hospital because,

1596
01:24:31.359 --> 01:24:35.199
<v Speaker 1>according to the reporting here, he odeed in prison and

1597
01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>now he think, he says that prison officials are trying

1598
01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to kill him. Let's see, so cause you see the

1599
01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:45.600
<v Speaker 1>od and I guess and you think he got a

1600
01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:48.159
<v Speaker 1>hold of some like heroin or something up in there.

1601
01:24:48.239 --> 01:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But according to Kelly, let's see, in his lawyers, prison

1602
01:24:52.760 --> 01:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>staff gave Kelly an amount of medicine that could have

1603
01:24:55.039 --> 01:25:00.399
<v Speaker 1>killed him. I don't know that that's confirmed, right, I

1604
01:25:00.439 --> 01:25:03.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know that that's that that is actually confirmed, that

1605
01:25:03.239 --> 01:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>is from his lawyer, But either way, he spent a

1606
01:25:06.760 --> 01:25:09.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of days over there, and I why would they

1607
01:25:09.720 --> 01:25:11.640
<v Speaker 1>be trying to kill you. And and by the way, R.

1608
01:25:11.760 --> 01:25:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Kelly's not even the highest profile dude up in Butner Man, right,

1609
01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:19.039
<v Speaker 1>We've had some we've had some big boys through there.

1610
01:25:19.199 --> 01:25:21.560
<v Speaker 1>And I also I appreciate that some of you listen

1611
01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>up at Butner because I've gotten the emails where they

1612
01:25:25.840 --> 01:25:28.640
<v Speaker 1>say a prisoner wants to send you something, which I

1613
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:32.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't realize was the thing from from Buttoner. And I

1614
01:25:32.920 --> 01:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>know that we got some the guards up there that

1615
01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:38.680
<v Speaker 1>listen because they've they've I had some questions, and a

1616
01:25:38.720 --> 01:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>couple have been very nice to fill me in on

1617
01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>like how the dorms work up there, because I don't

1618
01:25:42.960 --> 01:25:45.199
<v Speaker 1>know if you guys know this. The dorms that are

1619
01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:48.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of segmented by crime are based on ACC schools,

1620
01:25:50.239 --> 01:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>which means like one ACC school and I ca'tmeraer which

1621
01:25:52.560 --> 01:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>one it is is where all the sex offenders are.

1622
01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:56.560
<v Speaker 2>So so they're like tables at Alehouse.

1623
01:25:57.960 --> 01:26:02.079
<v Speaker 1>What yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, except instead

1624
01:26:02.119 --> 01:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of you and your family getting onion rings, it's for

1625
01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:10.239
<v Speaker 1>sex offenders or for drugs or financial or whatever. Yeah,

1626
01:26:10.319 --> 01:26:12.760
<v Speaker 1>they got the different dorms or the different ACC schools.

1627
01:26:12.800 --> 01:26:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm just wondering how you picked which poor

1628
01:26:14.840 --> 01:26:18.239
<v Speaker 1>acc school had to be the sex offender wing. I

1629
01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:20.159
<v Speaker 1>feel bad. I can't remember which one it is, which

1630
01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>is probably for the for the better. Let's see here,

1631
01:26:25.680 --> 01:26:28.840
<v Speaker 1>how do you heal R Kelly if you get a

1632
01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:29.680
<v Speaker 1>jellyfish sting?

1633
01:26:29.880 --> 01:26:32.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I actually looked into this. He'd probably like that. Oh,

1634
01:26:32.840 --> 01:26:37.880
<v Speaker 2>they're running it like experimental therapy there but at Duke.

1635
01:26:38.439 --> 01:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if if it's at Duke or a button,

1636
01:26:41.800 --> 01:26:43.479
<v Speaker 2>but I know, like this is what I was reading about,

1637
01:26:43.560 --> 01:26:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Like this is how they're trying it. It's some sort

1638
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:49.039
<v Speaker 2>of weird like you know, like for physical therapy they

1639
01:26:49.079 --> 01:26:51.840
<v Speaker 2>put people in like pools and stuff like water, Yeah,

1640
01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:55.319
<v Speaker 2>saltwater tanks and similar thing. But it involves dolphins.

1641
01:26:55.760 --> 01:26:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh jeez, stop it, stop it.

1642
01:27:00.520 --> 01:27:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling me, no.

1643
01:27:05.279 --> 01:27:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Love this audio cut, but my body, my body telling.

1644
01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Me, I can't believe the use we've gotten out of

1645
01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:19.159
<v Speaker 2>that cut after like twelve years.

1646
01:27:19.720 --> 01:27:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hold on, I was just gonna load the wait,

1647
01:27:22.359 --> 01:27:26.439
<v Speaker 1>where's the info? Hold on? What was the dumblin you're

1648
01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>bringing up?

1649
01:27:26.840 --> 01:27:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Bar Kelly? We're gonna use the dolphin R Kelly audio.

1650
01:27:29.479 --> 01:27:32.000
<v Speaker 2>So even if we'll find a way to fit it in.

1651
01:27:32.439 --> 01:27:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Twenty fifteen, ten years man February of twenty fifteen. For

1652
01:27:37.159 --> 01:27:39.159
<v Speaker 1>those of you who don't know, For those who don't know,

1653
01:27:39.359 --> 01:27:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the story that started all of that, that that audio

1654
01:27:42.720 --> 01:27:46.600
<v Speaker 1>cut is a dude who's a dolphin trainer who they

1655
01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>did a thing on him and he mentioned hooking up

1656
01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:50.720
<v Speaker 1>with a dolphin.

1657
01:27:52.359 --> 01:27:53.199
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know how R.

1658
01:27:53.279 --> 01:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Kelly got attached to it. I think it's just because

1659
01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:57.439
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's one of those making love songs there.

1660
01:27:57.600 --> 01:28:02.079
<v Speaker 1>But that's how that happened. That's and and we have

1661
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>been able to use it probably twice a year for

1662
01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:07.159
<v Speaker 1>ten years. Yeah, and there's a good chance listen if

1663
01:28:07.159 --> 01:28:09.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance that R. Kelly could hear that, right,

1664
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:13.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's a kaff fan. Maybe I just want him

1665
01:28:13.319 --> 01:28:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to hear what his works. Yeah, yet suit getting sued

1666
01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:21.960
<v Speaker 1>so bad all of that, we got licensee Oh you

1667
01:28:22.159 --> 01:28:25.159
<v Speaker 1>do all right? So uh anyway, yeah, so uh, but

1668
01:28:25.399 --> 01:28:26.840
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to I want to point it out

1669
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>because I think a lot of people saw that story

1670
01:28:28.399 --> 01:28:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and they assumed he was like he got a hold

1671
01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of some drugs in prison, blah blah blah. But they're

1672
01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:36.199
<v Speaker 1>claiming that they gave him a bad dose of medicine

1673
01:28:36.279 --> 01:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>or too much medicine, uh for the ode. But again

1674
01:28:39.680 --> 01:28:42.159
<v Speaker 1>that's also what his lawyer's saying, So take it for

1675
01:28:42.239 --> 01:28:44.359
<v Speaker 1>what it's worth, not like somebody at the like, not

1676
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:46.159
<v Speaker 1>like a group of people in the prison, but the

1677
01:28:46.239 --> 01:28:52.399
<v Speaker 1>actual prison. Yeah, whoever administers medications at butner. So that's

1678
01:28:52.439 --> 01:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a big charge. And and and who knows. Maybe somebody

1679
01:28:55.000 --> 01:28:58.560
<v Speaker 1>made a mistake and uh, but also maybe not, maybe

1680
01:28:58.760 --> 01:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>somebody just doesn't want to say that they were doing

1681
01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>drugs in prison, you know, which is another possibility. So

1682
01:29:07.279 --> 01:29:09.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, Uh, I guess maybe we'll find out.

1683
01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not all right, eight forty four, Speaking of find

1684
01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:17.079
<v Speaker 1>it out, apparently apparently too many people have been f

1685
01:29:17.199 --> 01:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a and around and now we're f oing from a weather.

1686
01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:23.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll chat with Ray here momentarily on that. But ah,

01:29:24.279 --> 01:29:27.199
<v Speaker 1>it is getting it is getting melty out there, and

1688
01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:30.359
<v Speaker 1>that's uh, that's going to continue, all right.

1689
01:29:32.159 --> 01:29:35.199
<v Speaker 2>What is it's going on?

<v Speaker 4>Me, Yes, right in the studio, maybe yelled down the hall.

1703
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:23.079
<v Speaker 1>We're still gonna screw with you. At some point this week,

1704
01:30:23.119 --> 01:30:23.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll time you out.

1705
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:26.680
<v Speaker 4>It'll happen, probably, but and it could be Friday, that

1706
01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:27.479
<v Speaker 4>could be the day.

1707
01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:31.159
<v Speaker 1>So okay, all right, Yeah, that's how these things go.

1708
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So uh yeah, yeah, bear bad news. Bear some bad news,

1709
01:30:37.039 --> 01:30:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and then tell us how it's not summer. Go ahead

1710
01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and do it, do it, do it.

1711
01:30:40.000 --> 01:30:41.079
<v Speaker 4>No, it's not summer yet.

1712
01:30:41.079 --> 01:30:43.640
<v Speaker 8>And then we'll get into the you know everybody talking about, well,

1713
01:30:43.760 --> 01:30:46.880
<v Speaker 8>the first full day of summer is really Saturday officially,

1714
01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:50.560
<v Speaker 8>though it is Friday night at I wrote it down

1715
01:30:50.600 --> 01:30:54.880
<v Speaker 8>here ten forty two pm. Until then, I think it's

1716
01:30:54.960 --> 01:30:57.359
<v Speaker 8>gonna still be warmth. The hot load of mid nineties,

1717
01:30:57.399 --> 01:30:59.880
<v Speaker 8>I think closer to ninety try it closer to ninety five.

1718
01:31:00.039 --> 01:31:03.079
<v Speaker 8>Triangle with the heat indecks close to one hundred. No

1719
01:31:03.239 --> 01:31:05.960
<v Speaker 8>rain today, but a few showers thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon into

1720
01:31:06.000 --> 01:31:09.880
<v Speaker 8>tomorrow night, and we are painted in yellow most of

1721
01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:12.439
<v Speaker 8>us anyway chance for severe storms, so be on the

1722
01:31:12.479 --> 01:31:14.720
<v Speaker 8>lookout for that. And that front to goes through Friday

1723
01:31:14.760 --> 01:31:16.560
<v Speaker 8>may not feel terrible. We may see a little bit

1724
01:31:16.560 --> 01:31:18.680
<v Speaker 8>of a drop in humidity and just a hit or

1725
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:20.840
<v Speaker 8>miss storm. We may stay in the eighties, and then

1726
01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:24.279
<v Speaker 8>we'll slowly start working it up for Saturday near above ninety,

1727
01:31:24.439 --> 01:31:28.079
<v Speaker 8>mid ninety, Sunday mid and upper nineties on Monday and Tuesday,

1728
01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:31.359
<v Speaker 8>maybe even longer. Sunny, hot, humid, and the heat indecks

1729
01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:34.640
<v Speaker 8>close to or above one hundred degrees. So you know,

1730
01:31:34.680 --> 01:31:39.079
<v Speaker 8>people are already starting to panic about the heat, but

1731
01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:41.600
<v Speaker 8>we don't need to panic. We don't need to panic,

1732
01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:45.960
<v Speaker 8>just you know, it's been hot before. But certainly probably

1733
01:31:46.439 --> 01:31:48.800
<v Speaker 8>start seeing some advisories for he already a couple up

1734
01:31:48.840 --> 01:31:51.079
<v Speaker 8>in Jersey and eastern PA for some of the hot

1735
01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:55.119
<v Speaker 8>weather coming so dangerously hot. It's kids in the elderly

1736
01:31:55.199 --> 01:31:56.920
<v Speaker 8>and the pets. We keep our eyes on first, right,

1737
01:31:57.199 --> 01:31:59.760
<v Speaker 8>and if you're working outdoors, plenty of fluids perfectly water.

1738
01:32:00.399 --> 01:32:02.960
<v Speaker 8>That's the kind of heat that's coming, especially end of

1739
01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:04.640
<v Speaker 8>the weekend and into next week.

1740
01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I got two lunatic friends who wanted to see if

1741
01:32:08.359 --> 01:32:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to join their tea time today.

1742
01:32:11.359 --> 01:32:12.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. No, I take the zero on that.

<v Speaker 1>Good well, good morning, Casey.

1756
01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:54.279
<v Speaker 10>A couple of economic indicators just released in Washington this morning.

1757
01:32:54.720 --> 01:32:57.720
<v Speaker 10>The Labor Department counted two hundred and forty five thousand

1758
01:32:57.840 --> 01:33:01.920
<v Speaker 10>first time applications for unemployment benefits last week. That was

1759
01:33:02.000 --> 01:33:05.039
<v Speaker 10>down from an upwardly revised two hundred and fifty thousand.

1760
01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:07.920
<v Speaker 10>The prior week and right in line with forecasts. There

1761
01:33:08.039 --> 01:33:11.640
<v Speaker 10>was a bigger than expected decline in housing starts last month.

1762
01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:15.680
<v Speaker 10>The e Commerce Department says groundbreakings for houses and departments

1763
01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:19.279
<v Speaker 10>fell nearly ten percent. The Federal Reserve wraps up two

1764
01:33:19.359 --> 01:33:23.640
<v Speaker 10>days of policy talks today. Economists have no doubts interest

1765
01:33:23.720 --> 01:33:26.920
<v Speaker 10>rates will be left unchanged, but they will be parsing

1766
01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:30.880
<v Speaker 10>the statement released by Central bankers and listening intently to

1767
01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:34.680
<v Speaker 10>chairg Jerown Powells use conference. They're hoping for clues to

1768
01:33:34.840 --> 01:33:38.199
<v Speaker 10>when rates might be lowered. Stock market futures a little

1769
01:33:38.239 --> 01:33:40.439
<v Speaker 10>bit higher as we get ready for the midweek session.

1770
01:33:40.520 --> 01:33:43.680
<v Speaker 10>Now futures or up twenty one points. The Trump administration

1771
01:33:43.920 --> 01:33:48.760
<v Speaker 10>is considering a possible crackdown on pharmaceutical advertising. Sources say

1772
01:33:48.800 --> 01:33:52.319
<v Speaker 10>the White House is discussing new legal and financial requirements

1773
01:33:52.359 --> 01:33:55.720
<v Speaker 10>for drug ads not in outright Man. New Zealand is

1774
01:33:55.800 --> 01:33:58.800
<v Speaker 10>the only other place in the world where pharmaceutical companies

1775
01:33:58.840 --> 01:34:02.319
<v Speaker 10>are allowed to market directly to patients. New restrictions would

1776
01:34:02.359 --> 01:34:05.279
<v Speaker 10>be a win for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

1777
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:09.680
<v Speaker 10>Kennedy Junior. He believes Americans consume more drugs because of

1778
01:34:09.760 --> 01:34:13.079
<v Speaker 10>the ads and trade tensions pushing up prices at the

1779
01:34:13.159 --> 01:34:17.800
<v Speaker 10>women's fast fashion retailer Dynamite. The company's chief executive says

1780
01:34:17.840 --> 01:34:20.880
<v Speaker 10>prices have jumped nine percent over the past year. He

1781
01:34:21.000 --> 01:34:23.880
<v Speaker 10>expects to be raising prices at twice the rate of

1782
01:34:23.960 --> 01:34:27.880
<v Speaker 10>inflation for the foreseeable future. And Casey must mention that

1783
01:34:28.279 --> 01:34:32.319
<v Speaker 10>I'm reporting today from the Fidelity Bloomberg business desk. Casey,

1784

1786
01:34:39.239 --> 01:34:39.840
<v Speaker 10>you on Friday.

1787
01:34:40.319 --> 01:34:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, Jeff, do appreciate it. Thank you much, sir.

1788
01:34:42.880 --> 01:34:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, have a good day, yep.

1789
01:34:44.720 --> 01:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>And just for all of you listening, we will be

1790
01:34:47.720 --> 01:34:51.279
<v Speaker 1>here tomorrow because we're doing this broadcast week so I

1791
01:34:51.359 --> 01:34:53.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to sit a day out, so will there

1792
01:34:53.399 --> 01:34:55.239
<v Speaker 1>will be a morning show tomorrow. I know some of

1793
01:34:55.279 --> 01:34:57.159
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to work, some of you do, so

1794
01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll be here either way. Okay, very good. Ross and

1795
01:35:00.880 --> 01:35:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I are trying to figure out the size of race age.

1796
01:35:02.800 --> 01:35:06.680
<v Speaker 1>It's accordion. And the reason is we're now fascinated by this.

1797
01:35:07.279 --> 01:35:10.840
<v Speaker 1>The reason is, and if you've never heard, Ray is

1798
01:35:10.920 --> 01:35:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a giant if and sometimes if there's really bad weather

1799
01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:19.399
<v Speaker 1>that he'll do TV stuff too. And it's really funny

1800
01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:22.479
<v Speaker 1>because the first time I saw him on TV, he

1801
01:35:22.600 --> 01:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>was doing like Overnight's. It was we had the weather

1802
01:35:24.720 --> 01:35:26.680
<v Speaker 1>channel on in the studio before the show started, and

1803
01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Ray was really doing that. It looks like he's in

1804
01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:33.840
<v Speaker 1>your kid's first grade classroom, right, would he go in

1805
01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:34.760
<v Speaker 1>for parent teacher?

1806
01:35:34.840 --> 01:35:36.520
<v Speaker 2>And all the desks are like little miniature.

1807
01:35:37.399 --> 01:35:40.399
<v Speaker 1>He's that big, So there's no way he plays the

1808
01:35:40.439 --> 01:35:42.359
<v Speaker 1>standard size accordion right Ross.

1809
01:35:42.239 --> 01:35:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, you'd have to scale it right otherwise. He's

1810
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:46.319
<v Speaker 2>seen that photo of under the Giant with like a

1811
01:35:46.399 --> 01:35:47.840
<v Speaker 2>beer can in his hand, and it looks like a

1812
01:35:47.880 --> 01:35:51.520
<v Speaker 2>sim Right, he's quite that big. But yeah, do you

1813
01:35:51.560 --> 01:35:56.319
<v Speaker 2>think you could body slam him their Hulk? I definitely not. Nope, Okay,

1814
01:35:57.640 --> 01:35:58.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what it is though? I think it's because

1815
01:35:59.039 --> 01:36:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Ray and I are from like the same area sort

1816
01:36:01.520 --> 01:36:03.079
<v Speaker 2>of kind of up in New York and there's like

1817
01:36:03.119 --> 01:36:06.720
<v Speaker 2>a really big Polish population. And are you saying Stagic

1818
01:36:06.880 --> 01:36:10.000
<v Speaker 2>might be Polish? No, but I'm saying, like he's playing

1819
01:36:10.079 --> 01:36:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the accordion, and I know that's like a big thing.

1820
01:36:13.119 --> 01:36:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Like with that population there, we would have like Polish

1821
01:36:15.720 --> 01:36:18.159
<v Speaker 2>food festivals and music festivals, and they would have on

1822
01:36:18.239 --> 01:36:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the public access station. They would have these live from

1823
01:36:22.039 --> 01:36:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the VFW, like the Polish dancing and stuff. It was

1824
01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:26.399
<v Speaker 2>a big deal up there, So I bet you that's

1825
01:36:26.439 --> 01:36:27.119
<v Speaker 2>how he got into it.

1826
01:36:27.680 --> 01:36:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Dude, the crazy. I don't say it's crazy because I'm

1827
01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:33.239
<v Speaker 1>glad it works. The radio state, one of our radio

1828
01:36:33.279 --> 01:36:37.399
<v Speaker 1>stations up in Minnesota has a weekend program called Arcadia

1829
01:36:37.560 --> 01:36:41.199
<v Speaker 1>on the air and it's been going since I think

1830
01:36:41.279 --> 01:36:47.039
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen fifties on It's been on several different radio stations.

1831
01:36:47.680 --> 01:36:50.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's it puts up big numbers on the

1832
01:36:50.800 --> 01:36:53.840
<v Speaker 1>weekend and it's just this. It's just a woman playing

1833
01:36:53.920 --> 01:36:54.600
<v Speaker 1>polka music.
