Speaker 1: All right, coming up on the show, let's see here.
Speaker 1: I will tell you I normally cringe and don't want
Speaker 1: anything to do with uh. Watching the White House Press briefing,
Speaker 1: I get used to that. That was okay yesterday, substantive questions,
Speaker 1: no gotcha stuff. We's screaming nobody, Uh, turning it into
Speaker 1: like their own little I don't know how to describe it,
Speaker 1: their own little get famous moment. Right, all the cameras
Speaker 1: are on me. I gotta go ahead and do stuff now.
Speaker 1: It was just just good stuff.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: It was bring your bring your kid to workday, or
Speaker 1: actually it was more specifically bring your son or daughter
Speaker 1: to workday, which you know means something because you're kind
Speaker 1: of assigning genders there. And that carried over to the
Speaker 1: White House Press briefing room, where frankly, I'm okay with this.
Speaker 3: Bobby Lynn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you get miked up there, Pumpkin, gotta get
Speaker 1: miked up. What are you doing? Your parents teach you nothing? Oh,
Speaker 1: you got a cute question. You gotta get the mic
Speaker 1: near you so we can hear what you're saying. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead and ask your question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bobby Lynn, how many people has he.
Speaker 1: Fired a lot.
Speaker 3: So many far, actually, we have not had anyone fired,
Speaker 3: with the exception of one individual who did leave their job.
Speaker 1: Because they were leaking information and they're literally a trader
Speaker 1: in Washington. Is that what you mean, Bobby Lynn, Is
Speaker 1: that why you're asking it? Wasn't your mom your dad?
Speaker 1: I don't even know who your parent is. They should
Speaker 1: probably be fired calling themselves a journalist working in the
Speaker 1: White House press briefit. This is why you couldn't have
Speaker 1: me do it, because I'd be honest with these little,
Speaker 1: uh little rug rats. I'm sorry anyway, you're you're, you're,
Speaker 1: you're your parents are trader of the constitution anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, but we have a great team here.
Speaker 1: So far, so good. Yeah, thank you for the question.
Speaker 1: Unless we had to have a protg and then her
Speaker 1: mom doesn't come home and you're like, oh, what happened
Speaker 1: to my mom?
Speaker 4: She's in.
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys, you guys should rethink your life trade.
Speaker 1: I don't even know who your parent is. Yes, little man,
Speaker 1: all right, go ahead, little man? Is that your mommy?
Speaker 1: Your MOMMYOT? Did your mommy have ID? Is your mommy
Speaker 1: being detained? Yes, your mommy's being detained. Yes, yes, we
Speaker 1: need to we need to id your mother anyway, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: what's your question? What's your question? Yeah, your mommy's been
Speaker 1: canoodling with the dude from Fox. So yeah, now it's
Speaker 1: tough stuff. I'm sorry. Well, I don't know. Maybe your
Speaker 1: dad should be around more anyway, I'm sorry. What's your question?
Speaker 1: Little man?
Speaker 4: What's Trump's favorite ice cream?
Speaker 1: Was his favorite ice cream?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Is this from the Biden era? Is that
Speaker 1: what we're doing here? What's Donald Trump's favorite ice cream?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Whatever ice cream gets it done. It's
Speaker 1: not choco choco chip or whatever Joe Biden's is. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's bring your kids to work day.
Speaker 1: I should have a little more heart. Okay, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Go ahead, little man with your question.
Speaker 3: I have seen the president eat ice cream Sundays before,
Speaker 3: with child sauce and some toppings too. Raise your hand
Speaker 3: if you like ice cream Sundays. It's a very popular
Speaker 3: policy position.
Speaker 1: It's a room full of kids. What answer do you
Speaker 1: think you're getting, Caroline, what do you think the polling
Speaker 1: is going to be on that? I'm sorry, I'm taking
Speaker 1: this too seriously, but we're getting down to business and uh, frankly,
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's good use of everyone's time.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's very good.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: Can we get a question like can we get a
Speaker 1: question that actually breaks new ground? On they asked him
Speaker 1: what his favorite food is too, and they're like steak?
Speaker 1: All right? We knew that your parents are a bunch
Speaker 1: of journalists or and I'm making the air quotes, by
Speaker 1: the way, and your parents can explain why I'm making
Speaker 1: the air quotes. Can we get a substantive question of
Speaker 1: the Press secretary for the President of the United States,
Speaker 1: since it's bring your kid to workday, I want to
Speaker 1: break new ground? What do we got? What do we
Speaker 1: got there? Timmy, Jamie, Liam or whatever your name is.
Speaker 1: Would you like to go Dario? Of course? All right,
Speaker 1: so Dario give me some good Would you like to go?
Speaker 2: What is the president have a superpower?
Speaker 1: All right? Dario doesn't have a microphone anyway. So Dario's
Speaker 1: question is, let do you think I'm making fun of
Speaker 1: these kids. I'm not making fun of these kids. The
Speaker 1: kids are fined. These kids are a welcome distraction from
Speaker 1: listening to their parents conduct quote unquote business. Right, Ross,
Speaker 1: did you feel any hatred dubbing in the kids this
Speaker 1: morning like you do normally when you're dubbing in press,
Speaker 1: you know, the actual press press.
Speaker 4: Bran. No, but I'm kind of weirded out by your vibe.
Speaker 2: To be honest, what do you mean my vibe?
Speaker 4: I know it seems like you hate the kids.
Speaker 1: I don't hate the kids. I feel bad for kids.
Speaker 1: Feel I feel bad because Dario's got to go home
Speaker 1: and be like, my mom's a failure. My mom my
Speaker 1: mom has is a partisan and this is what she
Speaker 1: does for a living. And then I have to come
Speaker 1: up with questions that are more substantive. I've actually impressed
Speaker 1: with the kids. It's not the vibe, I promise. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Why would you interrupt, Dario? Dario's got an important question?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Dario, Dario, would you like to go? Yes,
Speaker 1: what is the president? The president has a superpower? What
Speaker 1: would it be? That's a good question.
Speaker 5: Ross.
Speaker 1: We had to guess what do you think Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: superpower would be? Because Dario doesn't know. Not eating kids, No,
Speaker 1: it's not my it's literally not my thing. The kids
Speaker 1: are fine.
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I'm uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yay, kids, Yay, go ahead. No, I'm just bad that
Speaker 1: we have to have eight year olds in there so
Speaker 1: we can get actual questions instead of gotcha questions, which
Speaker 1: is not a reflection on the kids, just showing them
Speaker 1: what a bunch of hacks their parents are. Anyway, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Dario. Wow, good question. Superpower would it be? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a very good question. I think it is.
Speaker 1: I just said that's not a superpower.
Speaker 3: It would be to just snap his fingers and solve
Speaker 3: all of our country's problems just like that, because.
Speaker 1: He like, oh my gosh, who else's thing was snapping
Speaker 1: their fingers and then stuff happened? Ross, I know you're
Speaker 1: weirded out. Can you think of anyone who just snapped
Speaker 1: their fingers and then things happened? Maybe a purple person
Speaker 1: recent years in the movies Thanos? Donald Trump wants to
Speaker 1: be Thanos. That's the headline. That's the takeaway here, and
Speaker 1: young Dario was able to uncover it to.
Speaker 3: Get things done very quickly, but sometimes it takes a
Speaker 3: little bit longer, like today he had to go to
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill to convince people right to vote for his
Speaker 3: one big, beautiful bill. I bet if he had a superpower.
Speaker 3: He would snap his fingers and get it past im meeting.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you would, all right. So, Dario, if you
Speaker 1: have eight friends, four of them you're never gonna see again.
Speaker 1: That's his power. But it's okay, it's for the greater good,
Speaker 1: all right. Yeah, So a little life lesson for the
Speaker 1: young ins there. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Honestly, I saw
Speaker 1: the thing and I'm just like, this is so refreshing.
Speaker 1: This is so much better than having to watch an
Speaker 1: actual twelve minute press briefing. They've got a little questions like, well,
Speaker 1: do you have anonymous sources that say you're literally Satan?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you say to that? Whereas
Speaker 1: like Dario and his friends just want to know what
Speaker 1: kind of ice cream you want? I'm down with Dario.
Speaker 1: That's it. Give me a hashtag. Down with Dario. We're
Speaker 1: good to go. And Katie Lynn or whatever the rest
Speaker 1: of the two named kids were they take your kids
Speaker 1: to workday? Man, I think it's but it would only
Speaker 1: be bad, Like it's one thing if the White House
Speaker 1: brings their kids like take your kids to workday? How
Speaker 1: deep does it go within the administration? Like it is
Speaker 1: hag seth letting kids push the button. I'm assuming he's
Speaker 1: got a button. Is the Defense Secretary Wright bring your
Speaker 1: kid in and like, ah, I hit this button. You know,
Speaker 1: Timmy Tom or whatever his name is with the with
Speaker 1: the with the two names nowadays, right, Like, all right,
Speaker 1: Timmy Tom, go ahead, hit this button here. What'd you do? Ah,
Speaker 1: you just murdered a hundred hoo thies. He decided they
Speaker 1: were gonna stand together in a circle outside. Good job,
Speaker 1: Good job, young man. Kids like, oh, that's amazing. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell my teacher about that boom. He brought your
Speaker 1: kid to workday. He got options anyway, six seventeen all right,
Speaker 1: I creep ross out to the tenth power. Nothing against
Speaker 1: the kids, it's their parents. I just wonder if they're, like,
Speaker 1: I know their kids, they're probably like, oh my mom
Speaker 1: works at the White House Press briefing room, and they're like,
Speaker 1: they have no idea that the Press secretary on the
Speaker 1: daily calls the Calster mom fake news. Just like it's
Speaker 1: such a weird concept, right, because you're a kid, you
Speaker 1: don't know. You're just like mommy goes to the White House,
Speaker 1: Daddy goes to the White House, and you just don't
Speaker 1: understand like all the adult stuff that goes along with it.
Speaker 1: So you're just in there and you're asking about ice cream.
Speaker 1: It's just so innocent. I love it good anyway, six
Speaker 1: seventeen Cacoday Radio program. All right, hang on, oh, some
Speaker 1: we got the vibe. I was being mean to the kids. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: being mean to their parents, which is unfortunate for the kids.
Speaker 1: Kids are fine, kids are just kids. I'm actually really surprised,
Speaker 1: and I mean this sincerely, that one of them didn't
Speaker 1: arm their kid with some weird gotcha question.
Speaker 5: Just like.
Speaker 1: That's what I was kind of expecting watching it. The
Speaker 1: whole thing is like twelve minutes long. I tweeted it out.
Speaker 1: You want to go watch It's absolutely adorable. Go watch
Speaker 1: it because they're kids. They're just kids. But I just assumed.
Speaker 1: And the only reason I watched the whole thing is
Speaker 1: I assumed somebody because you know how you know what
Speaker 1: people do with their kids and politics, right, Like, Oh,
Speaker 1: my three year old woke up yesterday and they asked
Speaker 1: me about the the effects of late stage capitalism on
Speaker 1: you know, the Trump administration's decisions to do terroiffs. Buh,
Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, okay, you your third grade.
Speaker 1: Your three year old asked you that, huh did everybody applaud? Right?
Speaker 1: So we normally get that kind of stuff, but it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was just kids questions. It was great. It was manageable.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of insight there. Donald Trump wants
Speaker 1: to be Thanos Boom. I just gave you your headline.
Speaker 1: You didn't have to jam a weird thing. You got
Speaker 1: a kid to go ahead and extract it. Then you
Speaker 1: can see what mommy and daddy really do twist statements.
Speaker 1: But you didn't. You just had the kids asking adorable
Speaker 1: questions and then adorable answers, and everyone went about their business.
Speaker 1: It was great. I just wanted to share with you
Speaker 1: this morning. I got to read into it.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: Frankly, that room could take a part like a Jake
Speaker 1: Tapper interview, that poor guy doing the media round. So
Speaker 1: yesterday was a book release day. Found out some stuff. Frankly,
Speaker 1: yesterday there was two stories where we found out more
Speaker 1: stuff than I was comfortable knowing.
Speaker 4: Oh, is he have a book coming out? I haven't
Speaker 4: heard about that. What's what's the book about?
Speaker 1: It's about the original original sin Are you familiar? With
Speaker 1: the original Sin.
Speaker 4: I'm sort of reading about it. Yeah, well it sounds interesting.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, really, what's what's to say in your
Speaker 1: book about original Sin?
Speaker 4: I haven't really gotten there yet. I mean, like, I'm
Speaker 4: on one Samuel so.
Speaker 1: Right, But didn't we have original didn't you'd read Genesis?
Speaker 1: I did. Didn't they have anything in there about sin?
Speaker 1: Maybe a big one right at the beginning. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: some would argue, uh, kind of life changing or species chap.
Speaker 1: It's though, it was dude, a good A good piece
Speaker 1: of fruit is a good piece of fruit. Olive this
Speaker 1: You keep trying to walking back about the kids damage.
Speaker 1: But I haven't been beating the kids. I just feel
Speaker 1: bad because their parents are journalists at the White House.
Speaker 1: They should know, they should know kids did fine. So anyway,
Speaker 1: now it's not about that said, it's about uh uh wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, let me read the headline correctly, because you
Speaker 1: know you're like, whose fault is it? The White House
Speaker 1: and all the politicians lie to you about whether Joe
Speaker 1: Biden could know where he was here we go for
Speaker 1: the bulwark. It wasn't just biden Field, it was all
Speaker 1: of America. There you go. Case you're wondering who's responsible
Speaker 1: for Biden's scam on America? It's you? Did you know that?
Speaker 1: Are you sorry? Now? What an absolute piece of garbage?
Speaker 1: This is, knowing what we know now, Biden should never
Speaker 1: have attempted to run who you disagreeing with nobody on
Speaker 1: this show. He and or and or his inner circle
Speaker 1: undermined Harris's chances during the race, and to their discredit,
Speaker 1: have abused her since.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: But he's working today, but he didn't work yesterday, and
Speaker 1: then he's not working the rest of the week and
Speaker 1: not on Monday. Dude, we gotta get on this schedule.
Speaker 1: When is when's Memorial Day?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: When Moral Day is twenty six? That's Monday? Right? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's correct? Right?
Speaker 5: Ross?
Speaker 1: You realize we have Monday off. Of course Ross realized,
Speaker 1: he always realizes. Yes, okay, all right, well that actually
Speaker 1: changes my scot Spot production too. Gonna have to deal
Speaker 1: with that. That's okay. So we're we're fired on Monday,
Speaker 1: but maybe we'll be rehired on Tuesday. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: very good, All right. A little sad news this morning.
Speaker 1: You hate to see it. George Went has passed away
Speaker 1: with seventy six. Of course you know, you know George
Speaker 1: as I'm trying to think of there's any other big
Speaker 1: character that from a movie or TV that George Went
Speaker 1: was in. Was he in anything else but Cheers?
Speaker 4: I mean, I know anything he played Norm, but like Norman,
Speaker 4: a lot of things. What do you mean by like
Speaker 4: he was in the Simpsons as Norm?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, no, right, but I mean was there anything
Speaker 1: standalone other than than him playing Norm or doing cameos
Speaker 1: essentially as it? I don't know, Hang on just a second.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everything is it's all by the way. Where
Speaker 1: do you think George Went was from? It's just perfect
Speaker 1: by the way, Chicago. He's essentially the skip Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything is Cheers in every write up that I've seen.
Speaker 1: And good for him, man, I see a lot of
Speaker 1: there's a lot of actors You're like, Oh, the worst
Speaker 1: thing could be is just you just know him for
Speaker 1: the one role. I don't know, seems to work out
Speaker 1: for certain people.
Speaker 4: I was shocked yesterday I read in his obituary that
Speaker 4: he's Jason, like Jason sidekis is his nephew. Had no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know it, So Hollywood, it kind of makes sense,
Speaker 1: doesn't it.
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it does. It's one of those things that
Speaker 4: you hear and you're like, okay, right, because sometimes you
Speaker 4: wonder you're not to say Jason Sidakis doesn't have talent,
Speaker 4: because he does. But like, you know, how do people
Speaker 4: certain people get ahead of other people. A lot of
Speaker 4: times it is who you know, oh, or you know
Speaker 4: who a family member knows. Like nepotism is definitely a thing.
Speaker 2: No, come on.
Speaker 1: George, Chicago native got his acting career when he joined
Speaker 1: the Oh Second City, dude, If you guys don't know
Speaker 1: anything about Second City, it's kind of there's a big
Speaker 1: deal having to do with SNL. Right, So most of
Speaker 1: the original cast of SNL was Second City, which is
Speaker 1: just icigo improv group school thing. Yeah. So in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty Pursuit blah blah, all right, so we made appearances
Speaker 1: including Taxi Alice and making the grade for being cast
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty two is Norm on cheers. Oh, they
Speaker 1: wanted him to play look at that. That's interesting. So
Speaker 1: when they first cast him, they didn't know if he
Speaker 1: was going to be Norm or if he was going
Speaker 1: to deliver the mail. Interesting.
Speaker 4: I mean, one of the two most characters is so connected.
Speaker 4: So that's sort of perfect.
Speaker 1: Oh no, thousand percent, do you think, but do you
Speaker 1: think he would have been as good playing?
Speaker 4: Uhh, he's perfect as Norm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're Norm. Buddy won six consecutive Emmys from nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty four to nineteen eighty nine for Best Supporting Actor.
Speaker 4: Of course he did.
Speaker 1: What a gig man, just show up kind of in
Speaker 1: the same suit every day, sit in the same seat. Anyone,
Speaker 1: anyone one who is a regular at a bar too,
Speaker 1: Like if you go to a bar on let's say
Speaker 1: you go on Fridays after work whatever, just for an
Speaker 1: hour or whatever. One knows your name, you got your
Speaker 1: same seat. Good to gut your norm. And he probably
Speaker 1: made the comment Hans hands Forth. And what I like
Speaker 1: too is you know him. I've seen him and both Ratzenburger,
Speaker 1: who played Cliff Cliff Clavin obviously the other role there.
Speaker 1: I've never seen either of them go. Yeah, I kind
Speaker 1: of got type cast. They were both every time they're like, no,
Speaker 1: what a great gig man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ratzenburger is the tons of voiceover work too, for
Speaker 4: like tis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yeah. I was just trying to
Speaker 1: think of anything nor whether anything George Went had done
Speaker 1: otherwise and I could not remember him and anything else.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm kind of scanning over his IMDb right now.
Speaker 1: A lot of guest appearances, but you're right where he
Speaker 1: kind of played himself. Went did appearance several films, including
Speaker 1: Forever Young alongside Mel Gibson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Elijah
Speaker 1: wood O Truder. I don't remember what that movie was. However,
Speaker 1: outside of Cheers, was known for his guest roles on
Speaker 1: series like Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, Saint Elsewhere in
Speaker 1: twilight Zone. Oh that's right. He did do some Twilight
Speaker 1: Zone stuff. However, usually kind of appeared as his himself.
Speaker 4: Wasn't he Wasn't he the dad in the Michael Jackson
Speaker 4: Black or White video? I think he's the guy that
Speaker 4: sat in the chair in the house with Macaulay Culkin
Speaker 4: and Macaulay Culkin hooks up the sound.
Speaker 1: Right, was in that?
Speaker 4: I think it was in that music video.
Speaker 1: George Wentz Michael Jackson video Let's see here. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: funny because they're talking about some of his other cameos. Yep,
Speaker 1: he was in the Muse Here we Go threety four
Speaker 1: years ago, George Wentz starting the biggest music video of
Speaker 1: all Is that the biggest music video of all time?
Speaker 4: I remember when that thing premiered on TV.
Speaker 1: Oh it was crazy, big. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It came on after The Simpsons. It was like eight
Speaker 4: thirty or whatever, and everybody was watching it. And I
Speaker 4: remember my dad watching it because at the end of
Speaker 4: the video, like Michael Jackson did this thing where like
Speaker 4: he's on top of his car and destroying it, and
Speaker 4: my man is sitting there is Decliner watching it, just
Speaker 4: shaking his head, going the hell this is about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's screaming too, right, he's streaming, yelling like.
Speaker 4: In the weed shield. He's like, oh, like doing the
Speaker 4: Michael jack My dad is just shaking his head looking
Speaker 4: at it, like.
Speaker 1: Okay, whatever, is making sure you don't walk outside to
Speaker 1: the car. I don't care what you saw boy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: At the time, yeah, yeah, I'm just surprised that's the
Speaker 1: biggest music video of all time. I'm not surprised it
Speaker 1: was big.
Speaker 4: But remember that, like when they at the end of
Speaker 4: that towards the end where all their faces start to
Speaker 4: meld together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how incredible that was. Back
Speaker 4: in the nineties, You're like, oh, dude, it's magic.
Speaker 1: Remember when music videos were that though, Yeah, where like
Speaker 1: if there's somebody had a new music video coming out,
Speaker 1: like it was, it was like a new movie premiering.
Speaker 1: It was just music videos were iconic.
Speaker 4: Especially if it's a Michael Jackson video. Oh yeah one.
Speaker 1: But it didn't just have to be Michael Jackson. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you asked me about music videos, that's the era
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna be like, did you have cameos? The
Speaker 1: production value was off the chain. There'd be ones that
Speaker 1: just stuck out. Remember Share singing her at Chance around
Speaker 1: her lingerie on that navy ship. You were what a
Speaker 1: big discussion point that was. I mean not for all
Speaker 1: the right reasons, but holy.
Speaker 4: Hell, it was uh very popular, and I got to
Speaker 4: support the troops.
Speaker 1: Suppose she apparely she was? She turned that she turned
Speaker 1: the main the main gun on that battleship into some
Speaker 1: sort of weird phallic dance move.
Speaker 2: Oh is it?
Speaker 4: Did?
Speaker 5: She is?
Speaker 4: How you interpreted that?
Speaker 1: Hellot?
Speaker 5: Not just me?
Speaker 2: Not just me with the fish.
Speaker 1: People are like, ah, we can't show this to the
Speaker 1: kids because she's on the you know, one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty caliber where the damn thing was? What's going on? There.
Speaker 1: I mean, think of the icon the most iconic music
Speaker 1: videos of our era, and they almost exclusively fall into
Speaker 1: that window. But you know, when MTV was king and
Speaker 1: music videos were king, that could be that could be
Speaker 1: your whole week waiting for a premiere of a music video.
Speaker 1: They were that over the top, that well produced, and
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson's were literally the cream of the crop. And
Speaker 1: the video went is one of the first people we see.
Speaker 1: A dad is upset with McCaulay culkin's character for playing
Speaker 1: the music too loud. But then mcculkin takes his guitar
Speaker 1: up to Marty McFly's spinal tap levels and Wentz's blasted
Speaker 1: with the in his lazy boy reclined.
Speaker 4: Absolutely that was him, and the recliner goes at the
Speaker 4: roof and lands in Africa. And the reason I know
Speaker 4: this is because I have an autistic son who was
Speaker 4: completely obsessed or at least one point was with Michael Jackson,
Speaker 4: like Michael Jackson was a loop in her house. And
Speaker 4: I've watched that video pribably a million times, but I
Speaker 4: just put it together that he was in the video,
Speaker 4: that he's the guy.
Speaker 1: So mcaulay culkin deported his own feet in.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: You know who else would do that? Probably the kids
Speaker 1: at the White House press brief. I'm sorry, sorry, going
Speaker 1: back to that again. So you guys think I'm mad
Speaker 1: at the kids. I want to know who their parents are.
Speaker 1: At the time, Jackson was the biggest Oh what a
Speaker 1: horrible way to write this, this men's journal. At the time,
Speaker 1: Jackson was the biggest star on the planet. I got
Speaker 1: news for you. I know he's dead, still the biggest
Speaker 1: star on the planet from a name recognition standpoint, and
Speaker 1: he's been dead for what a while. Arguably, though, it
Speaker 1: was Whnce's inclusion at the beginning of the video that
Speaker 1: gave black or White its power. A frumpy white type,
Speaker 1: Oh here we go, you know, all woke, A frumpy
Speaker 1: white tie right leaning dad thrust in the multicultural world.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me read the whole stupid set. This
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with I gotta read the whole
Speaker 1: dubbed sentence. Hold on, a frumpy white type dad, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Conserve thrust into the multicultural world
Speaker 1: that Michael Jackson celebrates what it is about. He's just
Speaker 1: playing his stereotypical dad.
Speaker 4: After work, sitting in his chair trying to relax and
Speaker 4: his son is being loud. That's all it is.
Speaker 1: You don't need to read anymore. And there's no part no, no,
Speaker 1: it's for eclusion. It's eclusion.
Speaker 4: The rass dad out of the room into Africa's not
Speaker 4: what happened. That is how you handle it, man.
Speaker 1: It's right here in Men's Journal, which I thought was
Speaker 1: like a fitness mag am. I wrong.
Speaker 4: Ah, he's playing like the typical, like you know Kevin
Speaker 4: Arnold wonder Year's dad who gets after busting his hump
Speaker 4: at the office and wants quiet, which a lot of
Speaker 4: gus write. A lot of people listening right now can
Speaker 4: can understand that you get home and you want quiet,
Speaker 4: that's what you want.
Speaker 2: I don't even have.
Speaker 1: Kids and I want quiet. Yesterday somebody was messing with
Speaker 1: their car, fixing it like in their garage, and they
Speaker 1: kept having to like revet to figure out what was
Speaker 1: going on. I almost turned into that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, the dad in the video did not come home
Speaker 4: after busting his hump all day. He's sitting down going dumb.
Speaker 4: Don't look not in the video.
Speaker 1: It's not what happens, man, It's why the video is
Speaker 1: what doesn't matter whether you're black or white. See, and
Speaker 1: which is true. George Wentz's character doesn't care if you're
Speaker 1: black or white. He cares if you're loud, really right,
Speaker 1: that's what he cares about.
Speaker 4: Tired man.
Speaker 1: This is why you know why, This is why he
Speaker 1: goes to the bar, doesn't come home directly because of
Speaker 1: this crap right here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he came home, right, he should have stayed
Speaker 4: at the bar because he came home to be with
Speaker 4: his family. And then his son damages and destroys the roof,
Speaker 4: and now he's gonna comes Yeah, that's like ten grand
Speaker 4: out of your pocket. Easy.
Speaker 1: We're off sitting there drinking with the post. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not that hard.
Speaker 4: It's gonna look stupid. They gotta put a tarp over
Speaker 4: your roof before they fix it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people think they're spraying for bugs in there. Right,
Speaker 1: You're like, there's no bugs, tread teller's nothing, it's not
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 4: Plus you got to figure out you got to pay
Speaker 4: for transportation back from Africa.
Speaker 1: That's a good point, especially then it's not as easy
Speaker 1: to travel. We don't know where he is in Africa,
Speaker 1: like mine. Africa is expensive.
Speaker 4: We've talked about the superstar power of Michael Jackson, which
Speaker 4: still you know, it's no comparison even to this day.
Speaker 4: But maybe Michael paid for his flight back, but we
Speaker 4: don't know. It's unsubstantiated.
Speaker 1: We don't know if I mean, he would have liability there, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's through his music that George went the super racist.
Speaker 1: Uh got set there. We should send everyone back to
Speaker 1: Africa and they're like, no, you boom taught them lesson.
Speaker 4: That's a good point. Unfortunately, that is George Wentz legacy
Speaker 4: as an alcoholic racist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, screw Men's Journal. You couldn't just couldn't just you
Speaker 1: couldn't just have it in there. The legacy of Jackson
Speaker 1: might be mixed to this, David. The fact that went
Speaker 1: was game enough to make fun of himself and others
Speaker 1: like him perfectly embodied a certain trope that'd be the
Speaker 1: fat were white racist dude, I guess, And in Black
Speaker 1: or White he mocked that trope to send a positive
Speaker 1: and memorable message to the entire world. Shut up, who
Speaker 1: was it who played the like molestee father in Natural
Speaker 1: Born Killers? Trying to remember who was that? That was
Speaker 1: kind of shocking right there? Uh, the father in Natural Oh,
Speaker 1: it's Rodney Dangerfield, right, you remember that Roster National Killer.
Speaker 4: I do remember that. Yeah, he was so sleazy in
Speaker 4: that movie. Yeah, but that was the point that was
Speaker 4: I remember, you know, watching that and that Now you
Speaker 4: mentioned this one of the most disturbing things. Like I remember,
Speaker 4: I remember this Rodney Dangerfield man, and I remember the
Speaker 4: sweat like skiing the way like glisten. I was so gross,
Speaker 4: like this guy needs a shower.
Speaker 1: But like he nailed it. And it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: Rodney Dangerfield. You're you're thinking, all right, give me some
Speaker 1: caddyshack lines, but it's not. He's there to who is
Speaker 1: the actress? I can't remember her name, but like that
Speaker 1: was that was the whole thing. And I'm not going
Speaker 1: to ruin what happened to him in there, but let's
Speaker 1: just say justice is served. That that whole movie was
Speaker 1: a trip. Even if you were a David Lynch fan
Speaker 1: at the time, you were still like, what the hell
Speaker 1: is going on here? But to have Rodney Dangerfield essentially
Speaker 1: play the child Moleste father in that, like they were
Speaker 1: going for that. George Went isn't going for the racist
Speaker 1: dad in the black and white video.
Speaker 4: No, he's a grumpy dad, and that's what he says
Speaker 4: to McCaulay, says, turn the music down, we want it
Speaker 4: to be quiet. He's tired, and then he destroys his roof.
Speaker 1: It's just the thing after another man, guys just said
Speaker 1: just busted his butt for sixty hours that week.
Speaker 4: I mean, it would be horrible. Like if I went
Speaker 4: home today and Lincoln turns the volume up to like
Speaker 4: these spinal tab levels and I discorded my roof, which
Speaker 4: I have already just fixed previous in the last year,
Speaker 4: and then I'd taken my recliner and I land in Africa.
Speaker 4: It would suck. I'd be like, oh my god, my
Speaker 4: roof is try. I'm like a I feel like when
Speaker 4: a vomit now, because it was flying through the sky
Speaker 4: like in an insane velocity to get here. But at
Speaker 4: the same point, once I sort of collected myself an
Speaker 4: assess the situation and I realized Michael Jackson is in
Speaker 4: front of me dancing, I'd be like, this is pretty cool. Yeah,
Speaker 4: this is probably wow.
Speaker 1: You don't even like leaving the country. You'll still get
Speaker 1: over again. I've got a free performance. How's he leaning
Speaker 1: over like that? That has to be normal. It's a
Speaker 1: real move. I remember reading something where Dangerfield was they
Speaker 1: were thinking that Dangerfield wouldn't want to do that role
Speaker 1: because you know, it's Rodney Dangerfield. Man, this little stick
Speaker 1: is being likable, and he made it creepier and I
Speaker 1: can't remember what he did to make it creepier.
Speaker 4: It's like that whenever you have somebody who always plays
Speaker 4: a protagon, when they suddenly played the antagonist, it's always
Speaker 4: a good Like remember when Tom Cruise in Collateral it
Speaker 4: was brilliant, or even when he was in Tropic thunder
Speaker 4: Right it was because it's such a jarring difference as
Speaker 4: to how you're you're used to seeing that person.
Speaker 1: Some great scream on the phone, Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Dangerfield like they literally were like they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to talk him into this movie. I
Speaker 1: wonder if he'll be okay with it. He's like, what
Speaker 1: would it be creepier if I put my hand on
Speaker 1: her butt? He's just all right, man, all right, you
Speaker 1: got it? And the quotes there I can't I remember
Speaker 1: watching something where he came up with a lot of
Speaker 1: that stuff. They're just like, okay, all right. He says
Speaker 1: he's been harboring that, been holding on to that To
Speaker 1: your point, Ross, it's just like he always has to
Speaker 1: play the kind of nice guy and he was willing
Speaker 1: to let it all hang out for that role. So yeah,
Speaker 1: there's whole threads. How I never looked at Rodney Dangerfield
Speaker 1: the same again as an article here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, that was.
Speaker 1: That was peak? What the hell? There's been a few
Speaker 1: cameos over the years, or or were people played characters
Speaker 1: that literally made like part of the whole movie. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it made the whole movie. That movie's got
Speaker 1: a lot going on, but Rodney Dangerfield, old bug eyed, sweaty,
Speaker 1: as Ross pointed out, just stained shirt and the mom
Speaker 1: with the big hair. I can't remember the actress who played.
Speaker 4: That, like flies coming out of his wife beater, So yeah,
Speaker 4: it was just perfect.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: Juliette Lewis is his daughter and he's like liqu at
Speaker 1: her ear and stuff. Got a lot going on. When
Speaker 1: did that movie come out? Mid nineties? Right? I remember
Speaker 1: when the movie came out. I wasn't allowed to watch it,
Speaker 1: so I immediately watched it and it left an impression.
Speaker 1: So all right, all that to say, George Wen has
Speaker 1: passed away. He was in his mid seventies. Okay, there
Speaker 1: you go, seventy six at his home, surrounded by friends
Speaker 1: and family, YadA, YadA, all that stuff. Six I means
Speaker 1: it will always be norm or, as Men's Journal puts it,
Speaker 1: the racist Dad and the Michael Jackson video, We'll be back. Bacteria.
Speaker 1: Hold on, reset the page. Here we go. Miss mysterious
Speaker 1: bacteria with unique abilities whatever that means. Mysterious bacteria with
Speaker 1: unique abilities discovered on Chinese space station. I'm sure that's fine, right.
Speaker 4: All right, So what you want to do is eat
Speaker 4: it or rub it over your face immediately and hold on?
Speaker 1: You want to you want to what?
Speaker 4: Immediately? Eat it? Rub it on your face?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I would sort of like you just found a bacteria
Speaker 1: with quote unique abilities, which sounds foreboding on the China
Speaker 1: in space.
Speaker 4: No, it's like when they found the Black sarcophagus in Egypt,
Speaker 4: the Giant one. They found the bone bones and people
Speaker 4: were like, hey, should we should we eat the bone juice?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think they were conflicted. I think
Speaker 1: that's the first thing they wanted to do.
Speaker 4: Same thing, it's the same thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've seen some movies where space bacteria
Speaker 1: doesn't work out.
Speaker 4: If you're like in the space station or whatever, and
Speaker 4: you see that growing on the out side of the window,
Speaker 4: you immediately want to put the suit on, and you
Speaker 4: want to go for a spacewalk and take some of
Speaker 4: it inside and then show all your friends and then
Speaker 4: y'all want to rub it on your face or eat.
Speaker 1: It, and then and then come back to China right
Speaker 1: where you and then interact with everybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, do you want to be an astronaut
Speaker 4: or do you want to be moon man?
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, they don't call them astronauts, you
Speaker 1: know that, right?
Speaker 4: What do they call them over there?
Speaker 1: To cow nuts? To cow nuts? Huh, you've never heard
Speaker 1: me make fun of this. They call them to cow
Speaker 1: t ao k a. I think, what is that?
Speaker 4: What does that translate to?
Speaker 1: To cow nuts? I think it's pretty evident what I
Speaker 1: think it translates.
Speaker 4: Well, I know what you think, But I wonder, like,
Speaker 4: what does it actually stand for?
Speaker 1: Use the second syllable? I don't know. I think it's
Speaker 1: just their word for space or something. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they call them to cow nuts. They use
Speaker 1: the knots thing. It's really weird.
Speaker 4: I think that one thing the Russians did better. Like
Speaker 4: I like the name cosmonaut. Cosmonauts sounds cooler than asterisk.
Speaker 1: Right, well that's how they say space. Yeah, just in America,
Speaker 1: so I'm I'm assuming that's what it is in China.
Speaker 1: But it also sounds like count nuts.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Rub that stuff all over your face.
Speaker 1: Rub the cat yep on your face. Okay, sure, there
Speaker 1: won't be a prime. There's all sorts of like interesting.
Speaker 1: Do you understand, like how close we were as a
Speaker 1: society to do you know? Do you know how they
Speaker 1: wanted people when they to answer the phone? Do you
Speaker 1: know the you know, the word hello is like a
Speaker 1: meme from one hundred years ago, right, are you aware
Speaker 1: of this? Hello is a word they made up when
Speaker 1: they when they when they created the phone. It didn't
Speaker 1: exist before that. In fact, the uh you know the
Speaker 1: uh the WB singing frog song, Hello my Baby, Hello
Speaker 1: my darling.
Speaker 4: I remember that racist frog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but that song was a song that was
Speaker 1: created around nineteen hundred to make fun of using the
Speaker 1: word hello. Alexander Graham Bell wanted a different word and
Speaker 1: people are like, no, that's dumb, and he got out
Speaker 1: voted on the on the word we would use to
Speaker 1: greet people on the phone. Do you know how we
Speaker 1: almost greeted people on the phone. If Alexander Graham Bell
Speaker 1: had gotten his way a hoy. He wanted to use
Speaker 1: the term a hoy because that was a more standardized
Speaker 1: greeting at the time, and he wanted to normalize using
Speaker 1: the phone. But people were like, they didn't like the phone.
Speaker 1: They're like, this is weird man, probably ghosts and stuff.
Speaker 1: So they came up with a whole nother word for it,
Speaker 1: and that's where the word hello came from. I can't
Speaker 1: remember there's a reason why they went with hello, but yeah,
Speaker 1: Alexander Graham Bell initially wanted the word a hoy to
Speaker 1: be how you answered a phone, which would be awesome, Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty fun. Yeah, oh hoy maybe right, every time you
Speaker 1: answer the phone. That joke would never get older because
Speaker 1: it's proper.
Speaker 4: You're a pirate, like every day, for like ten seconds day.
Speaker 1: You might actually answer the phone. How many times you
Speaker 1: answer the phone? Now, But if it is it's like
Speaker 1: an accident, well, if it's me or maybe Trevor, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it happened the other day my phone was rigging on.
Speaker 4: I'm staring at it and I'm like, I'm going to
Speaker 4: push that red button, and for some reason they push
Speaker 4: the green budon and the person on the other end
Speaker 4: is like hello, and I'm like, and then anyone wants
Speaker 4: me to do something, and then I hit the red budd.
Speaker 1: Pretty much how it goes, and then he pretends his
Speaker 1: phone's broken. It's crazy. So anyway back to this, So
Speaker 1: China found a bunch of space bacteria and Ross wants
Speaker 1: him to eat it. So this is how you get
Speaker 1: COVID again or something.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The novel strain, which they say closely relates a terrestrial
Speaker 1: bacterium called Nialis circular, don't care, which is normally found
Speaker 1: in soil, sewage, and human stool. Wait a second, so
Speaker 1: hold on, so you want them to eat the poop bacteria.
Speaker 4: That's what that is.
Speaker 1: It's poop bacteria. I mean, it probably tastes better in
Speaker 1: the pangolin but or whatever that weird thing was we
Speaker 1: found out they were eating. But I don't know. Scientists
Speaker 1: say the novel strain demonstrates a unique ability to create
Speaker 1: a gelatine structure. Oh yeah, this stuff sounds It sounds
Speaker 1: definitely like something you want to ingest. However, it's it's
Speaker 1: a terrestrial neighbor. I guess this bacteria's closest to does
Speaker 1: include two key proteins which may enhance biofilm formation, oxydat
Speaker 1: oxidative stress response, and repair radiation damage. It'll give you
Speaker 1: powers to get to so the radiation doesn't help.
Speaker 4: You, I'm telling you. But you you become moon Man,
Speaker 4: you'd be superpowerss man.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the McDonald's moon Man, which
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. I was watching. I was watching something
Speaker 1: the other day and they're like, what happened to this?
Speaker 1: It was like, what happened to these iconic spokespeople?
Speaker 4: I remember it now that you mentioned it, but I
Speaker 4: wasn't aware there was a controversy.
Speaker 1: So apparently ninety nine percent of spokespeople don't exists because
Speaker 1: apparently like whites supremacist adopted them or something. The whole
Speaker 1: documentary was dumb, but I didn't realize. So the moon
Speaker 1: Man from McDonald's, if you remember that era of advertising
Speaker 1: in the nineties early two thousands where he had the
Speaker 1: guy who's his head was like a crescent moon and
Speaker 1: he would sing like Sinatra and stuff apparently, and I
Speaker 1: did not realize this. They had to discontinue it because
Speaker 1: like the Aryan nation made it their spokesperson or something,
Speaker 1: which I don't know how that works. But they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, we can't do this anymore. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't remember any of that, but I remember the
Speaker 1: iconic character or the spokesperson for McDonald's.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 4: I that really surprises me because as a kid, I
Speaker 4: remember and I just had to bring up the picture
Speaker 4: because I swear I had this memory, and the picture
Speaker 4: is exactly how I remember it. He's wearing the suit
Speaker 4: and he's got backglasses playing the piano as a kid.
Speaker 4: And he's playing the piano as a kid. It reminded
Speaker 4: me of Ray Charles. I thought they were going for
Speaker 4: like a Ray Charles type vibe.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: So how could that be white supremacy they're saying.
Speaker 1: That, I guess because he's white, because he's the moon Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's obviously like Ray Charles type moon man type
Speaker 1: moon man racist groups. It'll give you a whole thing.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But he's got the the the black sunglasses looks really
Speaker 4: cool to suit. He's in front of the piano. Mm hmm, okay,
Speaker 4: yeah it was.
Speaker 1: I don't know, some the white supremacists made him their
Speaker 1: spokesp or something, which I don't remember any of that
Speaker 1: being a controversy. That's like early that's like old school
Speaker 1: early canceling right there. Man, it sounds like it was
Speaker 1: more of a four Chan thing, if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: because I was just kind of surprised and I didn't
Speaker 1: really dig into it much but just watched the segment.
Speaker 1: I went, oh, okay, all right, oh hold on, hold on,
Speaker 1: now people are okay, apparently people are experts in space
Speaker 1: bacteria now.
Speaker 4: And they're all saying to eat it right, rub it
Speaker 4: on your face.
Speaker 1: Well, actually they're claiming, if you have to make a decision,
Speaker 1: you want to go with a glowing rock rather than
Speaker 1: space bacteria, which is probably true. At least you know
Speaker 1: the rock's got something going on because it heaps can
Speaker 1: use it as a night light. And then Logan already said,
Speaker 1: I'd rather if I had to get powers from a
Speaker 1: space rock, I'd rather get powers from a meteor man
Speaker 1: from the movie, especially the one where he could absorb
Speaker 1: all the information from a book in thirty seconds. But
Speaker 1: you don't want the Chinese space poop bacteria. Come, I
Speaker 1: live a little bro. So everyone's got an opinion. So
Speaker 1: how did people greet each other on the street before
Speaker 1: the word hello? They would use among others, Oh hoy, yeah,
Speaker 1: look it up. We were that close to being a
Speaker 1: society that still set a hoy when we greeted people.
Speaker 1: They took that from us. Every day could have been
Speaker 1: pretend you're a pirate day, speak like a pirate day
Speaker 1: or whatever that stupid day is which people abuse when
Speaker 1: it is and call into the radio make pirate stupid puns.
Speaker 1: It could have been that every day, but no. People
Speaker 1: were scared of the phone, so they had come up
Speaker 1: with another word. And then they came up with a
Speaker 1: song to mock the word. And then WB made a
Speaker 1: cartoon frog singing this is your history. This is the
Speaker 1: history you get when you listen to the KCO Day
Speaker 1: radio program. You're welcome. Hang on, what Germanic spin off
Speaker 1: from the eighteen twenty.
Speaker 4: Yeah because I knew that because the German is hu
Speaker 4: with an A instead of hello, Hello yeah. And it
Speaker 4: first appeared in eighteen twenty six in print right as
Speaker 4: like an American version of the German version. But then
Speaker 4: it became popular in the eighteen eighties. And why did
Speaker 4: it become popular in eighteen because of the telephone? Because
Speaker 4: of the telephone?
Speaker 1: Correct, yeah, oh can you imagine you did just be
Speaker 1: a pirate every day.
Speaker 4: But you have to you have to.
Speaker 1: You have to keep in mind that when when the
Speaker 1: telephone came out, like a big swath of the population
Speaker 1: is like, this is voodoo.
Speaker 4: This is no I mean, it's still does that makes
Speaker 4: sense to me? And I do this for a living,
Speaker 4: Like I'd like, don't ask me how it works. I
Speaker 4: have no idea.
Speaker 1: It's magic when it works, yeah, when it works, to
Speaker 1: be fair, yeah, no it is. It's the magic of radio.
Speaker 1: But people are so like, this is this is Satan's work.
Speaker 1: We can't use our traditional ahoy reading. We got robbed
Speaker 1: of that because some of you thought it was the
Speaker 1: devil's work or something. Well, not you, but you know,
Speaker 1: your great grandparents and stuff.
Speaker 4: You know, because if you use that word, right, and
Speaker 4: if it was ghosts on the other end of the phone,
Speaker 4: they'd be like, I don't understand that word because I'm
Speaker 4: a ghost from old timey days, right andy, And they
Speaker 4: would get off the phone.
Speaker 1: They'd hang up on you, like when you pick up
Speaker 1: what you'd know is a scam caller and you don't
Speaker 1: say anything and just wait for them to hang up
Speaker 1: and you hear somebody swear with an accent on the
Speaker 1: other end. That happened to me yesterday because I thought
Speaker 1: it was a I thought it was somebody from Charlotte
Speaker 1: and I was trying to organize something and it was
Speaker 1: a whole thing. But I didn't say ahoy, because that's
Speaker 1: how the ghost gets you, right there. Man, got to
Speaker 1: watch out, all right, hold on, let me grab a call. Yes, Jake,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was noticing that. I remember watching the sisions
Speaker 6: and Montgomery Burns would always go hoy hoy when picking
Speaker 6: up the phone, and I had to look that up myself,
Speaker 6: and I thought I learned that back in the nineties
Speaker 6: to understand, why the heck are you.
Speaker 2: Saying it like that?
Speaker 1: Because he's old man, Because he's.
Speaker 7: Old, Yeah, because he's old as dust.
Speaker 6: And another thing, there's a there's a fungus that it
Speaker 6: is basically a mushroom that is eating radiation at trenobyle.
Speaker 6: So combine that with the bacteria.
Speaker 1: Oh for the child, Well that sounds good. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: the Chinese wouldn't weaponize that at all. All right, So
Speaker 1: you're pro space bacteria, Is that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 6: Uh No, the space mushrooms is. I'll put a whole
Speaker 6: new meeting to eating shrooms.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So if you see it takes you
Speaker 1: for the car you see dragons, but actually dragons are
Speaker 1: very popular within Chinese culture, so probably wouldn't mind. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just hate that the Chinese have it
Speaker 1: and not us. I'm sure we have our own space fungus.
Speaker 1: We just don't pray, we don't do it like a
Speaker 1: press release about it. Plus didn't they What was that
Speaker 1: movie that was a few years ago called Life or
Speaker 1: whatever that didn't work out? I've never seen space fungus
Speaker 1: work out in any documentary I've ever seen, so I
Speaker 1: don't know if you should follow Ross's advice there. I
Speaker 1: have shied away from most of it. However, there's a
Speaker 1: couple things that happened at the Diddy trial good Lord
Speaker 1: yesterday that I have to share with you, because one
Speaker 1: I didn't know was the thing.
Speaker 5: The other thing is just.
Speaker 1: It's just crazy, but it's not as salacious as enough
Speaker 1: to the point where I can't tell you about it.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that coming up phone number eight
Speaker 1: eight eight nine three four seven eight seven before you
Speaker 1: want to weigh in on anything on the show. So
Speaker 1: a little more testimony yesterday in the did He trial? Boy,
Speaker 1: where do I start? Apparently he was really into drugs
Speaker 1: and stuff allegedly. In fact, according to testimony from Let's
Speaker 1: see here, who are David James, who is a former
Speaker 1: personal assistant, He said that Diddy, on average took twenty
Speaker 1: five to thirty pills a day and they would be
Speaker 1: prepared in a little bag and then he'd just take
Speaker 1: them and they ran the gamut, Perkoset, ecstasy, Viagra, weight
Speaker 1: loss and sperm count pills along with various vitamins. As
Speaker 1: you do, ross, do you do a supplement with your
Speaker 1: working out? Do you do like I mean, obviously probably
Speaker 1: not viagra and percocet, But do you do like like
Speaker 1: vitamins and stuff? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do tons of them?
Speaker 1: Yeap, yod? How many do you take on average a day?
Speaker 4: I take two three in the morning, and then I
Speaker 4: have a bunch of my pre work out and my
Speaker 4: protein powders and stuff in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Okay, so everyone's got a regiment.
Speaker 4: So I take like a D immune complex in the morning. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so and nothing crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to take there's a couple of supplements
Speaker 1: I take just the doctors recommended over the years. But
Speaker 1: they're they're like one of them is a vitamin D
Speaker 1: supplement then, but you know, it's basically that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: You're not get enough of this in your diet.
Speaker 1: This, this is more than that. And also what's crazy
Speaker 1: is the ecstasy was custom made to look like Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Apparently you would have bowls of them like Eminem's are
Speaker 1: something that is freak offs. Everyone could that's a.
Speaker 4: Week you want the Biden ecstasies?
Speaker 2: Which you want?
Speaker 1: Would you want?
Speaker 4: You will forget your name, You'll forget where you are.
Speaker 4: You could barely move. It's a good time. You're like
Speaker 4: falling upstairs. Somehow, somehow it's possible.
Speaker 1: Hey, man, it happens. Happens to the best of us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You've never fallen while boarding your own private
Speaker 1: wide body jet. Never?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I thought I did, but I was
Speaker 4: actually just high in the Obama or the Biden extacion.
Speaker 4: I thought I'm like, I'm on Air Force one and
Speaker 4: they're like, dude, you're in your living room. Bro.
Speaker 1: It was a Wendy sir, that's going on? Do you
Speaker 1: see the Dennys thing yesterday? And the judge wrote and
Speaker 1: is ruling it's so great. I actually tweeted something too,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, sorry, Wendy's You're no longer the premier
Speaker 1: restaurant meme based political meme, all right, And because it
Speaker 1: had to do with do you remember when the ACLU
Speaker 1: tried to essentially x partay get a judge to respond
Speaker 1: in forty five minutes to their motion and literally call
Speaker 1: this dude. So the Supreme Court, which again has made
Speaker 1: me really nervous right now, they essentially decided that they
Speaker 1: didn't give him forty five minutes. They gave him like
Speaker 1: fourteen hours because they decided that the clock started at
Speaker 1: twelve thirty am. And this judge, who wrote a rebuttal
Speaker 1: to this thing, is like, I'm sorry, what judges, District
Speaker 1: court judges, you can't just say they're available at thirty
Speaker 1: minutes past midnight. That's absolutely stupid. But the way he
Speaker 1: wrote it is great. He wrote, by starting to clock
Speaker 1: at twelve thirty four am, not only not only does
Speaker 1: it ignore the court's express instructions respecting the government's right
Speaker 1: to respond. It also ignores the fact the court is
Speaker 1: starting to clock at twelve thirty four. It's a little
Speaker 1: inside baseball, but I'll get to it. He said, we
Speaker 1: seem to have forgotten this is a district court and
Speaker 1: not a Denny's. The first time I ever heard anyone
Speaker 1: suggests the judges have a duty to check their dockets
Speaker 1: all hours of the night. So rather than sure, this
Speaker 1: is a Wendy's, the thing now is this is not
Speaker 1: a Denny's, which I thought was kind of funny there,
Speaker 1: all right, So anyway, back to the Obama pills. So
Speaker 1: apparently he had custom made Obama shaped ecstasy pills. And
Speaker 1: it looks like the photo they used is the photo
Speaker 1: they use in that weird poster that says hope remember that,
Speaker 1: Which didn't it all seem communism when it came out
Speaker 1: at all? Well, but yeah, it just gets crazier from there.
Speaker 1: They spent three hours detailing how they would put date
Speaker 1: raped drugs in the baby oil too.
Speaker 4: That was the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Apparently they were juicing the baby oil, so if you
Speaker 1: got the full baby oil rundown, you'd absorb enough GHB
Speaker 1: or whatever it was into your system. So watch out
Speaker 1: you ever go to a party and they want to
Speaker 1: rub you down a baby oil. I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: maybe ask what's in the baby oil?
Speaker 4: So did he was doing more than creatine and like
Speaker 4: citra lene and a.
Speaker 1: Little bit a little bit doing all the stuff.
Speaker 2: In fact.
Speaker 1: Then to get the party started, they also had this
Speaker 1: dude testify. What is his real name? They got this
Speaker 1: guy's real name. Oh, this part, I've meant to be
Speaker 1: very careful. How I read this part? All right? According
Speaker 1: to a federal agent who rated comes as Miami estate,
Speaker 1: details emerged about some of the freak Off Marathon sessions,
Speaker 1: which you know, these are the big sex parties there,
Speaker 1: including how he would use various toys, bottles of baby
Speaker 1: oil that we now know to be mixed with date
Speaker 1: rape drugs. And he also really enjoyed using parts of
Speaker 1: an AR fifteen as part of the acts. What like,
Speaker 1: is there a receiver receiver? What the hell does that mean? Anyway?
Speaker 1: And then they talked about certain celebrities also including Kid Cuddy,
Speaker 1: who I haven't thought about in forever, who is expected
Speaker 1: to take the stand today to testify, and the punisher.
Speaker 4: So can you get his drugs at G and C
Speaker 4: or not?
Speaker 1: I'm sure a couple of them. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean in the back.
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like there's some really crazy stuff
Speaker 1: and then there's like a Flintstones vitamin thrown in there.
Speaker 1: You don't have something you want to do.
Speaker 4: What you want to do is go to the gym
Speaker 4: and find the biggest guy that you could find there,
Speaker 4: Like they live at the gym, like nine point nine
Speaker 4: percent muscle and normally they were that fanny pack and
Speaker 4: just go up to them and ask them for all
Speaker 4: the drugs in their fanny pack.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna won't mind no, because it's Jim culture.
Speaker 1: You share, right, right, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 4: They're gonna help you. Spot They're gonna share their drugs
Speaker 4: in their fanny pack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, actually enough Joey Swolvin, Yeah, just like Diddy,
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Also taking the stand was Charay Hayes. Is that a
Speaker 1: relative of yours?
Speaker 4: By the way, I'm gonna have to check. I don't
Speaker 4: think so.
Speaker 1: Who goes by the name the Punisher? Who is a
Speaker 1: how do I describe this? He is a a dominature
Speaker 1: exteemed exotic dancer slash dude in charge.
Speaker 4: All right, it's not the Marvel character or whatever.
Speaker 1: It is not the Marvel character, although they are using
Speaker 1: an AR fifteen for things.
Speaker 4: So or is that DC?
Speaker 2: I don't know?
Speaker 5: Oh what is?
Speaker 1: What is punished? That's probably DC?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: I don't know. How do they screw that team show up?
Speaker 4: The first season was really good.
Speaker 1: Oh it was amazing.
Speaker 4: Anyway, not the same guy.
Speaker 1: No, clearly not. This guy is also who has a book.
Speaker 1: You've probably read this book since it's your relative, described
Speaker 1: as an immense self help book about a rectitle dysfunction
Speaker 1: known as in Search of Freezer Meat.
Speaker 4: What So you go up to the guy at the
Speaker 4: gym with the fanny pack and you say, give me.
Speaker 1: Your wearing the mask. Yes, yeah, give meat in search
Speaker 1: of the freezer beat. He went on to allege that
Speaker 1: did he has a pump? This is this is this
Speaker 1: is this dude's worth snip bear right here? There is
Speaker 1: any dude's worth snape bear. Let alone some guy who's
Speaker 1: a bad boy for life. You know what I'm saying. Uh. Apparently,
Speaker 1: on twelve sets testified to twelve separate occasions where they
Speaker 1: hired the punisher to come over and I guess do
Speaker 1: whatever he does.
Speaker 4: I'm convinced at this point that he killed Biggie. I'm
Speaker 4: I'm convinced like Biggie probably both thought that you're Biggie,
Speaker 4: probably knew that he was in like a super freaking
Speaker 4: a weirdo and he's like, that's no, I'm gonna expose
Speaker 4: this and then did. He's like, can't have that, and
Speaker 4: he like.
Speaker 1: Leaned into the East coast West coast beef. Huh yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll think it's they'll think, uh, Shakur's people did it.
Speaker 1: According to the punisher and author of In Search of
Speaker 1: Freezer meet mister Hayes. M dude, that's gonna be your
Speaker 1: That's gonna be your bio when you die, sir.
Speaker 4: They call me freezer meat.
Speaker 1: No, he's in search of freezer meat. See let's see here.
Speaker 1: He talked about his own struggles with rectile dysfunction That's
Speaker 1: why I wrote the book, and talked about how did
Speaker 1: he had a whole system of pills, including Cialis, viagra,
Speaker 1: and even what he described as a quote now illegal
Speaker 1: corner store pill, but then blamed his performance issues on
Speaker 1: Comb's need to direct him during the job.
Speaker 4: Yes, are they talking like a fedrin or something?
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: every five years there's something they're selling it a truck stop.
Speaker 1: They're like, we should have been selling.
Speaker 4: That and it'll keep you up for days. And then
Speaker 4: they're like, oh my god, it makes your heart explode.
Speaker 1: Now this one's for ed whatever this is. So it's
Speaker 1: probably like, you know, deer wang or something, and you
Speaker 1: know some Chinese herbal thing. There's probably the space bacterio.
Speaker 1: And now that I think about it.
Speaker 4: Rub it on your face.
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, you want to mix it into the baby
Speaker 1: oil and then you know you're good to go there. So,
Speaker 1: by the way, the book In Search of the Freezer
Speaker 1: Meat hit stores May ninth, So are you are you
Speaker 1: more likely to buy that book or the Tapper book?
Speaker 1: That's what I was just going to ask. You know,
Speaker 1: I feel like this one is more honest, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's going to be more honest.
Speaker 1: All right, That's about all I could tell you from
Speaker 1: that story. Trust me, it gets far creepier, far creepier.
Speaker 1: Not creepy, well, actually it does a little creepy. Raced
Speaker 1: agic who's only going to work two days this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what we were speculating, sir, Are you on like Super
Speaker 1: Tornado watch or something or yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's uh what it what it becomes.
Speaker 7: Let's just say I have other duties as assigned, and
Speaker 7: sometimes they need to pull me in another direction.
Speaker 2: So I had to go do that. I didn't want to. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you get it, you get it. So no, it's fine.
Speaker 1: The Chinese just found some space bacteria, so they should
Speaker 1: probably interact with that, huh on their space station they should.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's see what they come up with.
Speaker 1: It's not probably the end of civilization, that's okay. Maybe
Speaker 1: all right, So since it is a Friday, a Friday
Speaker 1: type of vibe, what's going on with the weather.
Speaker 2: The weekend is going to be a lot better starting
Speaker 2: the real Friday.
Speaker 1: I don't like the edge that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you said, pretend, let's go with the good stuff.
Speaker 7: I think for today, the rain that's come on through
Speaker 7: is over for now. This afternoon we may see something
Speaker 7: try to fire, something isolated, especially to the east of
Speaker 7: the triangle, so extreme eastern parts of the state. Maybe
Speaker 7: a stray shower, thunder shower. Why sun and clouds and
Speaker 7: mid upper eighties, a little dropping commidity. Are already starting
Speaker 7: to see to the west even of the Triad now
Speaker 7: lowerd points where they're now dropping into the sixties, where
Speaker 7: earlier in the last couple of days they've been actually
Speaker 7: in the seventy degree range or mid and upper sixties.
Speaker 7: So some drier air is coming in a better feel
Speaker 7: to the air mass. Tonight, we'll wake up in the
Speaker 7: upper fifties to low sixties by morning, and maybe a
Speaker 7: straight shower tomorrow with sun and clouds and near eighty
Speaker 7: with the west breeze, but still not much humidity, so
Speaker 7: we are dropping this kind of tropical air mass we've
Speaker 7: been in. Friday looks great, lots of sun seventies, same
Speaker 7: thing for Saturday in the seventies with sunshine, and even
Speaker 7: for Sunday, Memorial Day might get a little mild or
Speaker 7: maybe upper seventies eighty degrees, but there might be a
Speaker 7: few showers around too, so it's not going to be
Speaker 7: bright and sunny, but I don't think a wash out.
Speaker 2: But the best days of.
Speaker 7: The next several through Memorial Day are going to be
Speaker 7: Friday and Saturday with no mention of rain, and then
Speaker 7: even around that the book ends some scattered showers at times,
Speaker 7: with no big real weather systems. At this point it
Speaker 7: looked like they'll produce severe weather or anything like that.
Speaker 7: I mean, we get into the afternoon today as these
Speaker 7: storms try to go out near the coast, maybe an
Speaker 7: isolated stronger storm or too if you are traveling early
Speaker 7: for the holiday weekend. But other than that, I think
Speaker 7: will be a pretty decent shape.
Speaker 1: Alrighty, thank you, sir, appreciate it. We'll talk back in
Speaker 1: an hour. Okay, yes, there you go, raced agic from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel. It is seven forty eight. Hang on,
Speaker 1: you know how we roll here on the show. I'm
Speaker 1: getting a little weirded out by the National Inquirer page six,
Speaker 1: New York Post kind of coverage on his relationship with
Speaker 1: that his young bo there like with Yeah see wr
Speaker 1: L had a piece yesterday here we Go report which
Speaker 1: is a combination of their own writing and apparently a
Speaker 1: New York Timespace report. Jordan Hudson told at least one
Speaker 1: person she and UNC coach Bill Belichick are engaged. So
Speaker 1: who cares? Does anybody ross? Do you care about the
Speaker 1: ongoing relationship with Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson absolutely not. No,
Speaker 1: don't care, don't care. Were they can noodling? Were they noodling?
Speaker 4: Is she eighteen?
Speaker 1: Okay, then I don't care. I believe she's twenty four.
Speaker 1: So it's doing the math here, yep, No, good to go, Like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Have he cheats at something?
Speaker 1: I want to I want to hear what it did,
Speaker 1: not necessarily on her, but like at football, I want
Speaker 1: to know, hold me round of jokes. If he deflates her,
Speaker 1: I want to know, because that would be murder. I
Speaker 1: want to know so you can report that. But who
Speaker 1: cares what she's run around telling people?
Speaker 5: They like?
Speaker 1: There was like three Belichick pieces yesterday, one where his ex,
Speaker 1: who's like old enough to be her grandmother, was like,
Speaker 1: apparently they ran into each other at some part already
Speaker 1: in some rich person's place, and his ex was not
Speaker 1: nice to her.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, yeah, it's going to be super awkward, right,
Speaker 4: But of course, so you mean that it doesn't matter
Speaker 4: who you are, it'd be awkward no matter who you are.
Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, you're a sixty year old woman who's meeting
Speaker 1: your twenty four year old replacement. You're gonna have some
Speaker 1: feelings about that. But I don't care. If Jordan Hudson
Speaker 1: wants to run around saying they're engaged, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Didn't you like sign a real estate empire over tour?
Speaker 1: She's doing okay, she'll be fine. Now if you're a
Speaker 1: UNC fan, it starts impacting, like if you have concerns
Speaker 1: whether it's impacting your team. I understand why you're leaning
Speaker 1: into it, but who cares what she's telling people? The
Speaker 1: whole thing is weird? Man, do you hear me? Let
Speaker 1: me use some words so Jordan wouldn't understand if she's listening.
Speaker 1: It's grody. Okay, I'm sorry, I just had to take one.
Speaker 1: But who cares if they're happy whatever. Dude's seventy three
Speaker 1: is living the I don't some of you I dealing
Speaker 1: well with that. I can't believe I'm defending Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: I'm not defending it. I'm just like weirded out by
Speaker 1: the tabloiding nature.
Speaker 4: Of all of it.
Speaker 1: Oh, they were holding hands down by the field. What
Speaker 1: is this high school? And I'm in home room and
Speaker 1: I'm hearing the rumors from the you know, last night's
Speaker 1: game that I wasn't there for. Are we talking about
Speaker 1: the new York Times reported the New York Times. New
Speaker 1: York Times reported Tuesday that the twenty four year old
Speaker 1: has told at least one person that they're engaged. However,
Speaker 1: the story doesn't seem to go any furthers. Who cares.
Speaker 1: I don't care. What if they're married, who cares? Yeah,
Speaker 1: CaCO day radio programs. So I don't know if you've heard,
Speaker 1: maybe you've heard that Jake Tapper's got himself a book.
Speaker 1: Well it came out yesterday, and everybody slicing and dicing
Speaker 1: through this thing. There is crazy stuff in there. It
Speaker 1: doesn't you know. It doesn't get away from the fact
Speaker 1: that everybody knew all this stuff and only now when
Speaker 1: they can find a profit motive where we allowed to
Speaker 1: talk about it. And Tapper, I get. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say. To his credit, Tapper's out doing the interviews.
Speaker 1: He was on Megan Kelly yesterday, and I mean she
Speaker 1: asked the right question. Listen to how he slimes his
Speaker 1: way out of this.
Speaker 8: I will acknowledge that after I was named.
Speaker 1: This is basically like why didn't you cover any of
Speaker 1: this stuff? What the hell are you doing? Because she
Speaker 1: her it was a very aggressive question and basically it's like,
Speaker 1: like you all knew and you didn't say anything. What
Speaker 1: the hell's wrong with you?
Speaker 8: I will acknowledge that after I was named UH moderator
Speaker 8: comoderator of the debate, I tried to make sure that
Speaker 8: my coverage was fairly vanilla, both about Trump and about Biden,
Speaker 8: because I just wanted to get to the debate. And
Speaker 8: you know, the Biden people and the Trump I'm kind
Speaker 8: of frankly surprised that either one of them agreed to
Speaker 8: have me as a moderator because both sides disliked me
Speaker 8: so much. But yeah, I remember that moment, and I
Speaker 8: remember that moment, the glitch at the immigration event and
Speaker 8: not getting much attention outside of conservative media at all.
Speaker 8: And Alex and I are here to say the conservative
Speaker 8: media was right, and conservative media was correct.
Speaker 1: To stop calling it conservative media, because it's not just
Speaker 1: conservative media, it's people with eyeballs. This is what irritates
Speaker 1: me because it keeps getting couched as conservative media. It
Speaker 1: was the only one saying this, And while they may
Speaker 1: have been the only ones saying it from a media standpoint,
Speaker 1: everybody knew, even people supported Joe Biden knew what was up.
Speaker 1: They just made a judgment call that they hated Trump
Speaker 1: more in a lot of instances. So no, I get
Speaker 1: irritated by that.
Speaker 8: And that there should be a lot of soul searching
Speaker 8: among me, but among the legacy media to begin with
Speaker 8: all of us for how this was covered or not
Speaker 8: covered sufficiently.
Speaker 1: You want to know how blatant it is. So there's
Speaker 1: a story in the book. And they even talked about
Speaker 1: it on CNN yesterday because it kind of had to
Speaker 1: all right, Ross, did you know about the fake town hall?
Speaker 1: I didn't know about this un till I just read
Speaker 1: about it this morning, the fake town hall.
Speaker 4: I've heard about tons of fake stuff with the administration,
Speaker 4: like the cabinet meetings and stuff like that, but I
Speaker 4: haven't heard about the town hall.
Speaker 1: All right, So, and I just want to point out
Speaker 1: that this stuff is so big that it wouldn't end
Speaker 1: up that it absolutely would end up on people's radar,
Speaker 1: and simple follow up questions probably would have brought this
Speaker 1: to light. So the Biden campaign spent like three and
Speaker 1: a half million dollars to film a town hall, except
Speaker 1: it wasn't a real town hall. It was Joe Biden
Speaker 1: with a bunch of actors, a bunch of quote unquote
Speaker 1: supporters who also so happened to be in, you know, acting,
Speaker 1: which is not surprising a lot of Democrat actors. So
Speaker 1: they filmed this whole town hall and you never saw it,
Speaker 1: and you never saw it because after they spend three
Speaker 1: and a half millions, So you got to have the
Speaker 1: pro crew there, you got to have the sets, you
Speaker 1: got to have everything, and then you shuffle in people
Speaker 1: who are given questions. There's nothing organic about this. They're
Speaker 1: given questions. They filmed the whole thing. Why do you
Speaker 1: think you never saw it? If you had to guess
Speaker 1: ross since you didn't know about this, why do you
Speaker 1: think we never saw it?
Speaker 4: Be maybe Biden's performance was just awful.
Speaker 1: The lighting was bad. Oh the lighting according to campaign officials, however,
Speaker 1: in the book, which is the excuse they gave people,
Speaker 1: because reporters were like, why is there a three It's
Speaker 1: literally was on his schedule three hour thing where he's
Speaker 1: filming something, And they realized he filmed a whole fake
Speaker 1: town hall, which should be a story, right, because they
Speaker 1: were going to present this thing as said, hey, here's
Speaker 1: some undecided voters, let's see what they think. Apparently the
Speaker 1: lighting wasn't the issue, which I don't know how you
Speaker 1: would think that that would be a coherent answer. They
Speaker 1: got the lighting, well, we forgot to turn the microphone on.
Speaker 4: A three million dollar production. You're getting the lighting wrong, correct, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's okay.
Speaker 1: Now, apparently apparently he was so incoherent that he started
Speaker 1: being verbally combative with the fake people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they couldn't even fake it. They couldn't fake the
Speaker 4: fake town hall he started.
Speaker 1: Remember it was like, ah, you want to go outside.
Speaker 1: Remember he's threatening to fight people. Years ago he called
Speaker 1: him fat?
Speaker 5: Yeah, fat?
Speaker 1: Or what was the dog faced pony soldier. It's a
Speaker 1: sort of craziness this guy. It's it's a fake. It's fake.
Speaker 4: Everything about the campaign, about the administration was fake. That's
Speaker 4: why they had the weird Oval office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, super weird is that? Did you see the press
Speaker 1: secretary over doing a little hit from it the other day?
Speaker 1: She's just like, how weird is this? No, that's pretty weird.
Speaker 4: It is because right across the strait is the actual
Speaker 4: Oval Office, but they would film their stuff in this
Speaker 4: fake Oval office across the street like the studio. So weird.
Speaker 1: Well, they needed more space, they said, But when she
Speaker 1: panned around it doesn't look much bigger than the Brady room,
Speaker 1: the press room. The whole thing is strange. So they
Speaker 1: film the town hall. He knows the questions which he's
Speaker 1: clearly been given the answers to, right, because the whole
Speaker 1: thing is scripted.
Speaker 4: And we've seen that before too, with him having no
Speaker 4: cards with the exact words from reporters in the audience,
Speaker 4: like what they're going to say and what his answer is.
Speaker 1: We've seen that, yeah, and the picture of the reporter too,
Speaker 1: so he doesn't get confused. Right, So you filmed a
Speaker 1: three and a half million dollars. Think the press clearly
Speaker 1: knew what was up. They're working in that White House
Speaker 1: every day. You're filming this thing three hours out of
Speaker 1: the president's schedule. Especially a guy or a guy who
Speaker 1: doesn't really do anything right, they call a lit at
Speaker 1: one o'clock usually, So they film a fake thing and
Speaker 1: nobody asks follow up after they're like, wow, we didn't
Speaker 1: like the lighting. The lighting was bad.
Speaker 4: But I mean, even if it's a quote legitimate town hall,
Speaker 4: so many of these things you see on TV are
Speaker 4: just produced all the hell anyway, where they're sort of fake.
Speaker 4: This is what you're saying, it's so fake that they
Speaker 4: were actors and they weren't even like real voters. And
Speaker 4: they because a lot of times with these quote real
Speaker 4: town halls, they'll come in and they'll write their questions
Speaker 4: on a note card, and then the producers, there are
Speaker 4: people involved in the campaign, pick which which questions they
Speaker 4: are answered, and they have and I don't know if
Speaker 4: it's like the people from the campaign that pick them
Speaker 4: or if it's from the networks, but the networks are
Speaker 4: pretty much.
Speaker 1: The sponsor of it, but a lot of them are
Speaker 1: politically in the.
Speaker 4: Fact that the networks are like for the Democratic Party anyway,
Speaker 4: they might as well be like another arm of it.
Speaker 4: So they're picking questions that are you know, nice or like, Hey,
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, what's your favorite I.
Speaker 1: Want to talk about? Yeah, it's kind of their talking.
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, tell me about this awesome policy you have.
Speaker 4: And that's why they would do the same thing for Trump.
Speaker 4: But the questions they would pick out from the audience
Speaker 4: would be like the really bad ones, like you know yeah,
Speaker 4: And then you'd watch the two side by side and
Speaker 4: you'd be like people that go to the b it's
Speaker 4: like super positive. And then when you'd watch the Trump one.
Speaker 4: You're like, he's hitler because that's coming from the questions
Speaker 4: that they collect.
Speaker 1: And and this isn't even that these were written by
Speaker 1: the campaign. This isn't even this isn't picking the cream
Speaker 1: of the crop. And so to get argumentative with people
Speaker 1: who are asking a question that you wrote, right, that's
Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah, you couldn't even hang with that. They're like,
Speaker 1: this is your this is your thing, and you're trying
Speaker 1: to You're trying to fight the perfectly groomed and probably
Speaker 1: super diverse audience that you wheeled in there for this thing.
Speaker 1: And you're getting mad when somebody's like, how come you're
Speaker 1: so awesome now? And they're like, have I not been
Speaker 1: awesome all the time? Bro, let's fight? Bro?
Speaker 4: Like what I can't imagine?
Speaker 1: Love to see tape on this.
Speaker 4: I would love to see it because you can imagine,
Speaker 4: like you sort of just alluded to how diverse the
Speaker 4: crowd probably was asking the questions, And I would love
Speaker 4: to see Joe Biden just you know, flip off, go
Speaker 4: off and you know some transit trans minority person in
Speaker 4: the wheelchair, you know whatever, wheels you.
Speaker 1: Know, wait, do you mean this? It's literally this person
Speaker 1: it's Royal Majesty from the San Francisco City Council meeting.
Speaker 1: And now you're screaming at Royal Majesty in Royal Majesty's
Speaker 1: being paid to be there. What are you asking the
Speaker 1: question you asked for?
Speaker 4: It's going fine, It's gonna be fine. It was so bad,
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, how can you be in this
Speaker 4: campaign and be like, yeah, this is gonna work going
Speaker 4: into that debate the lighting.
Speaker 1: Gotta get the lighting right, man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you wouldn't want to purposely screw somebody over
Speaker 4: with the lighting or tempt the screen to make them
Speaker 4: look super orange.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's a good point. Yeah, you want to
Speaker 1: avoid that at all costs? Is that what Joe? You're like?
Speaker 1: Can we make them look down not dead? Do we
Speaker 1: have some not? We have some lights that add life
Speaker 1: to this. Meanwhile he's screaming at the Royal Majesty in
Speaker 1: the in the wheelchair there, And at what point? And
Speaker 1: it was over two hours, it was two hours of filming.
Speaker 1: They filmed this mess for there's a two hour tape
Speaker 1: of this. It's been three and a half million, two
Speaker 1: hours of tape. This has to come out. And at
Speaker 1: what point in those two hours are you working with
Speaker 1: campaign staff and you look over to your cowork You're like,
Speaker 1: this is none of this is usable. They're just hoping.
Speaker 1: They said that they were filming it and so that
Speaker 1: they could use the cuts from it even if they
Speaker 1: didn't run it live, like the whole thing, so they
Speaker 1: could use cuts for campaign commercials. So it's actually far worse.
Speaker 1: They couldn't find a salvageable few moments so that they
Speaker 1: could use them for campaign commercials, which was I guess
Speaker 1: the overriding goal. It wasn't even just to air the
Speaker 1: whole town hall that was going to be a bonus.
Speaker 1: They just wanted snippets for you know, five seconds of
Speaker 1: a thirty second ad where it's ominous like Donald Trump
Speaker 1: once everyone he wants everyone to die, especially babies and
Speaker 1: puppies and kittens, right, but not Joe Biden, And then
Speaker 1: you cut to them in the town hall. You know,
Speaker 1: his hand out stretched, I'm going to be the president
Speaker 1: for everybody again, blah blahlah. They couldn't find that. You
Speaker 1: know how hard it is not to be able to
Speaker 1: take Ross does it every day? I sent him a
Speaker 1: twelve minute video of the kids press conference at the
Speaker 1: White House yesterday. Right, it's not all gold in there,
Speaker 1: but it's pretty good. And what did you carve out? Total?
Speaker 1: About a minute and a half worth of stuff about
Speaker 1: a minute and a half into two separate cuts. That's
Speaker 1: twelve minutes there. We're going to find something to air
Speaker 1: if you don't know, it was take your son or
Speaker 1: daughter to work day, which is how they are calling it,
Speaker 1: by the way, to get the genders in there, just
Speaker 1: to stick it to the press people, which I thought
Speaker 1: was funny. And so they had like the kids of
Speaker 1: the White House correspondence in there asking questions. And to
Speaker 1: their credit, none of these dirtbag reporters loaded their kid
Speaker 1: up with a gotcha question like how does it feel
Speaker 1: to be a thirty five thirty four time convicted felon
Speaker 1: and a rapist?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: I was just waiting for some eight year old to
Speaker 1: badly spit that out because mom set them up. They
Speaker 1: didn't have it. They asked kids questions. It was adorable.
Speaker 5: Ish.
Speaker 1: I'm just glad the kids are young enough they don't
Speaker 1: realize what a bunch of dirtbags their parents are. So
Speaker 1: you're telling me two hours for somebody who's the president
Speaker 1: of the United States you couldn't find five seconds for
Speaker 1: a campaign commercial. That thing had to go awful. That's
Speaker 1: a train wreck. W I'll watch that from start to finish.
Speaker 1: Send me the tapes, man and check that out. You
Speaker 1: rise to the occasion, you figure something out, and if
Speaker 1: it's all scripted, you can't pull it off. Holy crap.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio testified in front of Congress yesterday. Dude was
Speaker 1: on fire. All right. I tell you I like Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio a lot more doing this job. I guess I
Speaker 1: could say I was kind of ambivalent with him as
Speaker 1: a senator. I like this.
Speaker 4: No, he's got like a new sort of like at it.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 4: He's he's doing great.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh hey he's a new guy.
Speaker 4: Or is the old guy that's come back?
Speaker 1: Maybe? I don't know. He ain't little Marco anymore. Dude's graduated.
Speaker 1: When he's going back and forth with Van Holland yesterday,
Speaker 1: listen to that, I have to tell.
Speaker 9: You directly and personally that I regret voting for you
Speaker 9: for Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: This Van, This is a senator saying he's I'm sorry
Speaker 1: I voted to confirm you, right, Because they're just like, ah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna torch this.
Speaker 9: I have to tell you directly and personally that I
Speaker 9: regret voting for you for Secretary of State.
Speaker 2: I yield back.
Speaker 10: I respond, well, first of all, your regret for voting
Speaker 10: for me confirms I'm doing.
Speaker 5: A good job based on what that's station, Secretary, And
Speaker 5: I respond, mister Chairman, you.
Speaker 1: Mean I didn't have, Senator, Please let the secretary. I'd
Speaker 1: be happy to, but then I can respond to his
Speaker 1: Your time's.
Speaker 9: Up, Senator, and willfully used. I might add your remarksment
Speaker 9: to not represent the view of this committee.
Speaker 5: Well, mister secretary, please, well, i'd like to.
Speaker 10: I can't respond to everything he said, because much of
Speaker 10: these are untrue, but I'll go through a few. First
Speaker 10: of all, I'm actually very proud of the work we've
Speaker 10: done with usai D. For example, I don't regret cutting
Speaker 10: ten million dollars for male circumcisions in Mozambique. I don't
Speaker 10: know how that makes a stronger and more prosperous as
Speaker 10: a nation. I don't redemd psycho social support services, I raised.
Speaker 9: I respond, Senator, Senator, i'd ask you to suspend you
Speaker 9: had seven straight minutes.
Speaker 1: I use my time that way, Mister Chairman, that's my
Speaker 1: right to please suspend that way, Secretary review.
Speaker 5: There's other things here.
Speaker 10: We spent two hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars for
Speaker 10: Big Cat's YouTube channel from USAID. We spent fourteen million
Speaker 10: dollars for social cohesion in Malli, whatever the hell that means.
Speaker 5: So I can go on and on. I got the
Speaker 5: list here, and there's more that I didn't even bring
Speaker 5: the whole list.
Speaker 10: In the case of El Salvador, absolutely absolutely we deported
Speaker 10: members gang members, including the one that you had a
Speaker 10: margarita with, and that guy is a human trafficker, and
Speaker 10: that guy is a gangbanger, and that and.
Speaker 5: The evidence is going to be clear in the days of.
Speaker 9: Rubio has the floor, Chairman, he can't make unsubstantiated.
Speaker 1: That Secretary Rubio has the floor.
Speaker 9: You Pedrick Rubio should take that testimony the federal Fenator
Speaker 9: United States because he hasn't done it under oath.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, is he under that dude's skin? That's and
Speaker 1: then torture about the margaritas. That's hilarious. I like this,
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, more of this. Please.
Speaker 10: There is a division in our government between the federal
Speaker 10: branch and the judicial branch. No judge and the judicial
Speaker 10: branch cannot tell me or the president how to conduct
Speaker 10: foreign policy. No judge can tell me how I have
Speaker 10: to outreach to a foreign partner, what I need to
Speaker 10: say to them. And if I do reach the foreign
Speaker 10: partner and talk to them, I have under no obligation
Speaker 10: to share that with a judiciary branch. Just like a
Speaker 10: judge cannot order me to negotiate with a foreign minister
Speaker 10: of Russia, they cannot order me to negotiate with a
Speaker 10: foreign minister the president of El Salvador. And if I
Speaker 10: did negotiate with them, which we have responded to them,
Speaker 10: and we've told them we've had communications with the President
Speaker 10: of El Salvador, I am under no obligation under our
Speaker 10: division of powers in this country and to share with
Speaker 10: the led the judicial branch how I conducted diplomacy of
Speaker 10: the United States. It would actually be counterproductive if I
Speaker 10: started sharing with courts or frankly with the media my
Speaker 10: conversations with foreign leaders and all of their details. No
Speaker 10: foreign leader would talk to me again, and we would
Speaker 10: break trust with them.
Speaker 5: So I have complied with every court order.
Speaker 10: What I won't comply with is in order to disclose
Speaker 10: what I'm saying, and what we're talking about with the
Speaker 10: foreign leader, because then they won't talk to me.
Speaker 5: Diplomacy doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: And he's absolutely correct. You don't have to like him,
Speaker 1: but you have to understand the process of what Secretary
Speaker 1: of State and others you do with the cabinet. And
Speaker 1: you know, and he wasn't the only one. Tim Kane
Speaker 1: decided he was going to wait in there too. I
Speaker 1: got some Madio as well, but we got to take
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be back a few minutes here on
Speaker 1: the CaCO Day radio program. Publishers of the Chicago Sun
Speaker 1: Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer. I don't remember which company
Speaker 1: owns those two, but so they wrote they had a
Speaker 1: big like get ready for summer supplement and I know
Speaker 1: you guys are all big newspaper readers still, but and
Speaker 1: it was like it was pretty too. It was like
Speaker 1: sixty pages. So it was this big insert that was
Speaker 1: in their most recent Sunday editions and there's some issues
Speaker 1: with it. Included in the sixty page supplement was a
Speaker 1: summer reading list for twenty twenty five, a recommendation and
Speaker 1: even a short summary with excerpts of fifteen novels that
Speaker 1: the editors there at Chicago Sun Times the Philadelphia Enquirer
Speaker 1: feel would be good if you do the book thing
Speaker 1: during the summer. Are you sitting on the beach reading
Speaker 1: some good stuff in here? Ross? There's a new there's
Speaker 1: a new Ray Bradbury book called Dandylion Wine. Do you
Speaker 1: let you ever read any Ray Bradbury? You get into
Speaker 1: his stuff like Fahrenheit four fifty one, any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: I was a bit of a sci fi reader. Pretty
Speaker 1: good stuff. They have another book here called Let's See
Speaker 1: Atonement by a guy who curiously sounds like he's almost
Speaker 1: named the same as the dude who played Obi Wan
Speaker 1: And listen to this opening on the hottest day of
Speaker 1: summer in nineteen thirty five. The novel shows how a
Speaker 1: series of misunderstandings and a lie told by a young
Speaker 1: girl changes multiple lives forever. It discovers, you know, racial tensions,
Speaker 1: emotional complexity. So it sounds like it's a young white
Speaker 1: girl led about a black dude and bad things happen.
Speaker 1: It's basically Emmett Till story. Now why am I bringing
Speaker 1: this up? Because I think you're gonna go and find
Speaker 1: these fifteen books no, I know for a fact you're not.
Speaker 1: Do you know how I know? A bunch of the
Speaker 1: books are not real? They're not real books. In fact,
Speaker 1: of the fifteen books recommended by the Philadelphia in Choir
Speaker 1: and Chicago Sun Times put into a sixty page supplement
Speaker 1: jammed in the newspapers prepare their readers for a woke
Speaker 1: reading summer. Of the fifteen books, how many do you
Speaker 1: think are real? Fifteen to choose from? How many are physical,
Speaker 1: actual books that exist that you could buy? Five? And
Speaker 1: people are like, how could this have happened? How could
Speaker 1: it have happened? Clearly it's ai right. Whoever was the
Speaker 1: author of this thing was like, oh I got to
Speaker 1: put a sixty page book supplement together. It fired everyone
Speaker 1: I work with. I got and when do I have it?
Speaker 1: When's my deadline? May eighteenth or whatever Sunday was. We
Speaker 1: go to the aish, Oh yeah, I finished it in
Speaker 1: one day.
Speaker 5: Here you go.
Speaker 1: Didn't check to see if the books were real? How
Speaker 1: does this happen? Wouldn't you you google if you're if
Speaker 1: you're because remember this is an editor who is an
Speaker 1: editor for things like this. This is what this is
Speaker 1: their world, This is what they're doing pop culture and
Speaker 1: books and movies and this is and and you didn't
Speaker 1: google to see, Hey, here's a book by Ray Bradberry
Speaker 1: I've never heard of. When you're somebody who writes about authors,
Speaker 1: maybe I should see Maybe I should just make sure
Speaker 1: the summary is correct.
Speaker 4: You'd think.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 4: It's like when Jordan Peterson was debating AI and the
Speaker 4: AI just started making up case law.
Speaker 1: And he had to he had to correct it, and
Speaker 1: then it apologized.
Speaker 4: Right, And most people wouldn't be able to call it
Speaker 4: out like that, but you know, he's sort of an
Speaker 4: expert in what he was debating. It's like, this is
Speaker 4: all made up bull crap and and yeah, eventually the
Speaker 4: AI was like, yeah, you got me that one. But
Speaker 4: there's only a matter of time before AI delivers some
Speaker 4: sort of government agency or entity, some false intelligence or
Speaker 4: answer that leads to something tragic. It's only a matter
Speaker 4: of time.
Speaker 1: Well, and but it's so googleable, the word like one
Speaker 1: one one query on Google or whatever one you want
Speaker 1: to use about a new Ray Bradbury book, which should
Speaker 1: tip you off a little bit.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's exactly turning novels out at the moment. Unless
Speaker 4: they discovered some manuscript. But then it would be huge news.
Speaker 1: That'd be a huge story. It's like, uh, what's his bucket? Steinbeck?
Speaker 1: You know there is an unpublished Steinbeck novel, right, that's true,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. And when we found out about it,
Speaker 1: that was a big deal people because people wanted it.
Speaker 1: So they have an excuse to go, I guess, shoot
Speaker 1: at the president or whatever his books do. And but
Speaker 1: Ray Bradbury's been dead for like fifteen years. I knew
Speaker 1: that he's not put a new book out unless, as
Speaker 1: Ross pointed out, they you know, they're cleaning out his
Speaker 1: old cabin or whatever and his kids find a book.
Speaker 1: But you did, like you did zero, like, hey, maybe
Speaker 1: we should uh, maybe we should look at that now.
Speaker 1: Ray Bradbury did write a book in the fifties called
Speaker 1: All Summer in a Day, which is actually kind of
Speaker 1: it's kind of the plot of this book, but not
Speaker 1: really this Dandelion Wine, which I key every time I
Speaker 1: hear that that title too, I think of that, what
Speaker 1: was it Minni McCready who did strawberry wine? I can't
Speaker 1: remember who did that? That old country song. It's not that.
Speaker 1: And they just published this thing and then people, you know,
Speaker 1: idiots went to go find these books because they're like,
Speaker 1: well if the newspaper says they're good, and then like
Speaker 1: these don't work. It caused a whole thing over on
Speaker 1: Blue Sky. By the way, I saw the numbers on
Speaker 1: Blue Sky. They're only doing a million and a half
Speaker 1: uniques a week. I know, it sounds like i'd like,
Speaker 1: you know, a million and a half e uniques for
Speaker 1: our local radio show to be pretty good, although we
Speaker 1: do have a pretty good number. But for a social
Speaker 1: media platform that's available worldwide, you're doing a million and
Speaker 1: a half uniques. What an echo chamber of that is?
Speaker 1: And apparently it upset the apple cart over there because
Speaker 1: they wanted to go out and get these books that
Speaker 1: just don't exist.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: Speaking of AI, you reference that that same lunatic chick
Speaker 1: who wants to put Elon Musk in jail, the EU lady,
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, you your platform. She's actually I remember
Speaker 1: seeing a thing where she was saying that they should
Speaker 1: have AI be the judge and jury because it would
Speaker 1: eliminate bias.
Speaker 4: Dude, that is absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 1: But why wait, no bias? You want bias?
Speaker 5: Ross?
Speaker 1: I mean, are you thinking that the AI would just
Speaker 1: summarily execute everybody at.
Speaker 4: Some point, like I'm saying, I mean, it's not Listen,
Speaker 4: you're dealing with somebody's life, and you have you know, AI,
Speaker 4: which isn't always correct and can make up stuff or
Speaker 4: make a case law or makeup I don't know. I
Speaker 4: feel like a judge should be a human being who
Speaker 4: has experienced life and lived it like other fellow human beings,
Speaker 4: and has a sense of compassion and can have nuance
Speaker 4: on things.
Speaker 1: And also and also, by the way, isn't bound ideological
Speaker 1: things like you want to eliminate bias. You're seeing what's
Speaker 1: going on with the judges and all their stop orders
Speaker 1: with Trump stuff right right, would for sure put in AI,
Speaker 1: We'll start executing crosswalk violations, right, gonna watch out for that.
Speaker 1: Unless you're a half black, half Asian female Nazi, then
Speaker 1: you're probably fine because it loves you. How do I know?
Speaker 1: I saw chat GTP rendering your GPT rendering all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But if you're a cis white male screwed?
Speaker 4: Remember people are we're asking it? Like you generate a
Speaker 4: photo of the Founding Fathers and they were all like
Speaker 4: they were all like super black. Yeah, like what like
Speaker 4: Indian women.
Speaker 1: Are like yeah, and then then the Nazi one there,
Speaker 1: they're like, ah, show me some Nazis, show me some
Speaker 1: SS soldiers. And it's like, I don't know, chick looks
Speaker 1: like she's about twenty five and from soul.
Speaker 4: How many errors have we seen with AI where he
Speaker 4: just goes out of control? So yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 4: pass in the whole judge thing for now and maybe
Speaker 4: for another few thousand years.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So Ross is not on board with that, Well,
Speaker 1: let me send you a book list so you have
Speaker 1: some time to kill while you're waiting for the AI
Speaker 1: to fix itself. How in the world does that happened? Man,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Fire the one guy you
Speaker 1: haven't fired in that portion of your newsroom yet? Like,
Speaker 1: I'm sympathetic, I'm sure. And it's it's not just in
Speaker 1: in newspapers too, Like within media media has been contracting
Speaker 1: for a while. Everybody's doing something more. I can't you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into discussions around how it's changed radio,
Speaker 1: but it's changed radio fundamentally.
Speaker 4: You know, it's changing every industry, right, But and it's
Speaker 4: very helpful to save time, so you can maybe focused
Speaker 4: on other things that you should be focusing on. Right,
Speaker 4: you can get rid of some of the busy work.
Speaker 4: That being said, you should probably check its.
Speaker 1: Work, right, especially for this a big feature, things like.
Speaker 4: The books, like check to see if the books are real.
Speaker 4: You have so much faith in it. That's why there's
Speaker 4: so many people that are you know, they ask AI
Speaker 4: and they just go with it whatever the answer is.
Speaker 4: Remember that woman last week we talked about. She divorced
Speaker 4: her husband because AI told her red red coffee ground
Speaker 4: coffee ground. So like, your husband's cheating, and this woman's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's cheating, gonna divorce you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, I said so man, all right, so Ross
Speaker 1: is not on board for AI judge jury executioner. Well,
Speaker 1: that's the other thing. Do you let it then be
Speaker 1: the executioner?
Speaker 4: Two? It probably come up with some creative I mean,
Speaker 4: it would probably be in that regard. It would probably
Speaker 4: be really efficient.
Speaker 1: Remember the onion thing with the They had a parody
Speaker 1: of this new execution machine called the head Ripper offer
Speaker 1: it's this onion skit from you.
Speaker 4: It was one of the funniest. It's back when the
Speaker 4: onion was super funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when they were just a bunch of political hacks.
Speaker 1: It's called a head ripper offer. It was just and
Speaker 1: it was that like the whole thing was like a documentary.
Speaker 1: And then they had the prison officials after the first
Speaker 1: successful head ripper offering standing out front doing a press
Speaker 1: conference and they're just covered in blood like it's a
Speaker 1: slasher flick. Good stuff. It did the job, Yeah, super efficient, man,
Speaker 1: And they're like they're just and you could tell they're
Speaker 1: just like scarred for life. Having watched you, you.
Speaker 4: Thought the guillotine did a good job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the point. It's like opening a soda canem
Speaker 1: It's super morbid, but it's there for you. All right.
Speaker 1: Let me transition from that to a little weather, shall we.
Speaker 1: Let's get some weather in there, and we'll do it
Speaker 1: from the soon to be vacation and raced aging. What's
Speaker 1: up man, Thanks Casey.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean most of the rain done for now.
Speaker 7: I think over the next couple of days we'll trend
Speaker 7: plenty more dry hours than we We should really notice
Speaker 7: a drop in the humidity in the coming days. Got
Speaker 7: to see a bit of a reinforcing shot of this
Speaker 7: cool air come in and Friday Saturday kind of the
Speaker 7: pick days. Of the next several Yes, a chance of
Speaker 7: showers for Sunday and Memorial Day at this time though
Speaker 7: does not look widespread, so we have to keep an
Speaker 7: eye on that.
Speaker 2: Most of our.
Speaker 7: Showers thunder showers for today are done, sunshine, some clouds,
Speaker 7: and to the east there may be a pop up
Speaker 7: shower thundershower this afternoon, may try to clip the triangle,
Speaker 7: so we have to keep an eye on that. Maybe
Speaker 7: a stronger storm or two eighty six officially maybe around
Speaker 7: Brolly get into the triangle. Probably gonna be right in
Speaker 7: the middle eighties to try at probably low eighties and
Speaker 7: a shower thunder shower threat tonight, small chance of showers
Speaker 7: tomorrow close to eighty degrees for everyone. And then how
Speaker 7: about Friday load to bit seventies. As we wake up
Speaker 7: in the fifties Saturday morning, some of us could wake
Speaker 7: up in the upper forties to low fifties, beautiful Saturday
Speaker 7: load to mid seventies and sunny, and the upper seventies
Speaker 7: on Sunday, chance of showers and a chance of showers
Speaker 7: for Memorial Day.
Speaker 2: So again Casey emphasizing not a bunch.
Speaker 7: Of rainfall around next couple of days, but certainly I'm
Speaker 7: gonna want to keep eyes and ears to the sky
Speaker 7: and a lot.
Speaker 2: Of people are going to be outdoors over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Doesn't look terrible.
Speaker 7: Hopefully the weekend forecast will work out okay, even for
Speaker 7: Memorial Day, although there is a chance of showers.
Speaker 1: Oh it's so weird too that your vacation about that,
Speaker 1: But we won't read into that. We'll just go ahead
Speaker 1: and hit a breake. Come back with Jeff Bellincher next.

Speaker 1: if you win the Wiener Circle? I have a question.
Speaker 1: Instead of dousing each other with milk as there's some
Speaker 1: sort of other condiment spray so that this thing can
Speaker 1: just be as over the top as possible. Well, that's
Speaker 1: just weird. The race is what? So this is one
Speaker 1: of the pre race ahead of the indie thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this will be the Friday race, all right, and
Speaker 1: the Wiener Mobile will be the pace car. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: there's so so weird about that. But I guess you
Speaker 1: gotta have sponsors, all right, That's not the weird thing
Speaker 1: I was reading. I was reading this. So there was
Speaker 1: an interview that was done with Erl Musk. This is
Speaker 1: Elon Musk's father, and part of the interview they delve into,
Speaker 1: you know, South Africa. Obviously that's in the news right
Speaker 1: now with you got, you know, sixty some refugees from
Speaker 1: South Africa. What's really going on there? And Erl Musk
Speaker 1: starts into the story about that one time he was
Speaker 1: so he owns a bunch of properties and he was
Speaker 1: at one of his properties in Johannesburg with his daughter,
Speaker 1: who was a sixth at the time. This is back
Speaker 1: in the nineties, and he said that after he was
Speaker 1: looking I guess he had hired a contractor to do
Speaker 1: some painting, but a lot of security on this house,
Speaker 1: and he comes downstairs because he hears these weird noises.
Speaker 1: His daughter's downstairs and he was checking out the pain
Speaker 1: chob upstairs, and he says he's there are like seven
Speaker 1: men standing there and they were attempting to essentially take
Speaker 1: his daughter. And so he starts telling the story. He said,
Speaker 1: initially one of the men, who he described as wearing
Speaker 1: a suit and jacket or a jacket and a tie,
Speaker 1: brought his arm up. He thought he was initially trying
Speaker 1: to shake hands. It was only in that moment he realized,
Speaker 1: because that there was sparks and a loud noise, that
Speaker 1: this guy had discharged a weapon at him. He said,
Speaker 1: he brought up his left arm, presumed to shake hands.
Speaker 1: I saw his hand come up, saw the sparks, heard
Speaker 1: the sound he had fired a weapon from his hip.
Speaker 1: He missed them. And he said, for twenty years I've
Speaker 1: been doing karate, so I have very fast reactions, all right,
Speaker 1: Steven Siegal and the bullet went past him into a
Speaker 1: glass door, at which point must says he went to
Speaker 1: the bathroom where he left his bag to fetch a revolver,
Speaker 1: and he killed three of the dudes and He said
Speaker 1: he had to because they were quote going they were
Speaker 1: going to ritualistically eat his daughter.
