Speaker 1: Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. Easily the weirdest emails that I get are overnight. Sorry,
Speaker 1: we would just send me the strangest stuff, dude. All right,
Speaker 1: so coming up on the show, well it is Thursday,
Speaker 1: so you know, got that going for us. Obviously, got
Speaker 1: some big weather stuff to talk about. We'll be checking
Speaker 1: in with Ray Stagic a couple times this morning obviously
Speaker 1: seven forty eight forty five, So folks obviously getting ready
Speaker 1: down there in Florida, and ain't gonna be no joke
Speaker 1: some parts of North Carolina what we're going to be seen.
Speaker 1: So in addition all the political stuff and the wacky
Speaker 1: stuff and things like that, we will we will be
Speaker 1: getting into all of that coming up as as the
Speaker 1: show unfolds. All right, let's see here, I was just
Speaker 1: looking at this this morning. We got Steven at eight
Speaker 1: o five, right, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, So we'll
Speaker 1: we'll check in with uh NERD correspondent uh uh are
Speaker 1: are are are? I call him that out of affection,
Speaker 1: just so we're clear, Stephen Kent. But yeah, we got
Speaker 1: we gotta talk yet another intersection of culture and uh entertainment.
Speaker 1: But is it entertainment or the message. As a critical
Speaker 1: drinker likes to say, so, uh, even if you don't
Speaker 1: play video games, a lot of this is gonna be
Speaker 1: comparable to what you saw with Disney. Okay, and the
Speaker 1: snow White movie if you remember obviously all that like
Speaker 1: that was one of those that should have been in
Speaker 1: easy putt for you know, these live action remakes, but no,
Speaker 1: the actresses, one in particular, although both were out there
Speaker 1: doing it. Uh. The two main actresses then did a
Speaker 1: sit down which was just disastrous, right with the the
Speaker 1: one who plays snow White. I don't even remember her
Speaker 1: name right now, and I'm okay with that, you know,
Speaker 1: out there basically trashing on the story and then and
Speaker 1: then telling everyoney, oh, it's going to be different, and
Speaker 1: here's how it's going to be different. And the whole
Speaker 1: thing was not received well. And if you remember, Disney
Speaker 1: had to like stop there to change out the whole
Speaker 1: dwarf mechanism in it does that turned into its own thing,
Speaker 1: and then you know, eventually we found ourselves with the
Speaker 1: delayed movie. This is on the video game side of things,
Speaker 1: but one of the big produced video game companies out there, Ubisoft,
Speaker 1: They make Assassin's Creed, and we talked about this on
Speaker 1: the show previously, But if you don't remember, each iteration
Speaker 1: of Assassin's Creed has been thematically set somewhere in time,
Speaker 1: So I admit I don't remember all of them. Are
Speaker 1: what are a couple of the examples. Sorry, I'm not
Speaker 1: an Assassin's Creed player. Well, it's been set in like colonial.
Speaker 2: Times was one of them, right, And you know, but
Speaker 2: the first game was like a Jerusalem, then it went
Speaker 2: to Italy, like Rome, I believe in Venice.
Speaker 1: I just remember watching people shoot Red Coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah recently, Yeah, I recently played that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It takes place during you know, in the Thirteen Colonies.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so. But but what the game was screaming
Speaker 1: out for, according to fans, at least from what I
Speaker 1: can you know, what I can read and understand is
Speaker 1: the whole game felt like it had to have a
Speaker 1: Samurai thing, right, and so the idea that this current
Speaker 1: one that they're getting ready to release, although things have
Speaker 1: changed to getting ready to release, would be set in
Speaker 1: feudal Japan, right, the the the era of Samurai, of
Speaker 1: Shogun of all of that. Uh, the fans were really excited, right,
Speaker 1: because this is this is what the game felt like
Speaker 1: it was anyway, and now it's going to be. And
Speaker 1: then they decide to go with a fictional story. Not
Speaker 1: that the not that the the small pieces of it
Speaker 1: weren't somewhat accurate. Nobody can tests that there wasn't this
Speaker 1: dude who was literally gifted essentially to the Japanese emperor
Speaker 1: at the time, largely due to the fact that he
Speaker 1: was black and he looked so different and at the time,
Speaker 1: anyone who was foreign who got into Japan, they just
Speaker 1: killed you. This zup, you're done. But he was received
Speaker 1: as a gift. I believe it was from merchants or
Speaker 1: travel from Africa or no, I don't remember where they
Speaker 1: were from, but anyway, they gifted him. And there is
Speaker 1: small historical record of this individual showing up but fighting
Speaker 1: in some instances. But it was then romanticized by a
Speaker 1: professor who looks like I think he's British or something,
Speaker 1: but he teaches over in Japan. Maybe he's an American,
Speaker 1: and he basically created this whole story about how he
Speaker 1: was the secret first black Samurai and you know he
Speaker 1: was he was out leading things and all of that,
Speaker 1: and that like none of none of that is backed
Speaker 1: up by what we know, which the answer is we
Speaker 1: don't know a lot. And but also that was the
Speaker 1: wokest decision. And it's not just that it's a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff, because once you irritate the face and remember
Speaker 1: this game was expected to be super duper extra big
Speaker 1: in Japan, right, And so once you tell your Japanese audience,
Speaker 1: forget the Americans just going, you just had to put
Speaker 1: the woke stuff in there, didn't you. Once you told
Speaker 1: that to the Japanese, they damn near are revolting over
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: I mean, this wasn't complicated. You had a game that
Speaker 2: was based upon stealth and parkour and hiding in the shadows. Right,
Speaker 2: it's an assassin. It's an assassin game. All you needed
Speaker 2: to do is put it in Japan and make it
Speaker 2: like a ninja thing. That's all you had to do.
Speaker 2: And they went, I think there is like a ninja
Speaker 2: in the game, but it's like you said, there's a samurai.
Speaker 2: But they got every literally everything wrong. They got the
Speaker 2: language wrong, they got the customs wrong, the culture wrong,
Speaker 2: they got the arch culture wrong, the season's wrong, everything
Speaker 2: is wrong. So the Japanese people not all of but
Speaker 2: a lot of them are like revolting. They don't eve
Speaker 2: want to play the game.
Speaker 1: They're like they well wait, but what I'm saying is,
Speaker 1: here's the give you an example of the little stuff.
Speaker 1: So there's a scene in the trailer where there's bags
Speaker 1: of rice open, spilled out on the street and they're
Speaker 1: kind of fighting through there. And I think if you
Speaker 1: hadn't irritated people with screwing around with the whole main storyline,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have had people in Japan nitpicking it going.
Speaker 1: You understand that during that time, rice was a form
Speaker 1: of payment to cover your taxes. We would never leave
Speaker 1: at willy nilly in the street, or those are the
Speaker 1: wrong trees to be in bloom that time of the year.
Speaker 1: Those are the things that audiences will kind of put
Speaker 1: up with, except for like the really really hardcore. But
Speaker 1: once you once you get them triggered over the one thing,
Speaker 1: now they're going to chew your game up.
Speaker 2: Just it makes no sense. Like I said, the first
Speaker 2: game took place in the Middle East at Alta Air.
Speaker 2: He was Middle Easter, right, and then then the second one,
Speaker 2: Enzio was from Renaissance Italy. He was an Italian and.
Speaker 1: We know he was Italian. Well they work at Olive Gardener.
Speaker 2: He did. Yeah, oh, because breadsticks move was amazing. But
Speaker 2: there and does the third game. The third game, you
Speaker 2: had somebody come over from England and he was, you know,
Speaker 2: an an English guy in the colonies.
Speaker 1: Oh and now.
Speaker 2: And now this game you've got right, the main protagonist
Speaker 2: is a black dude in feudal Japan. But everything about
Speaker 2: it is wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's so bad that Ubersoft yesterday they're under
Speaker 1: attacked by their own shareholders. And you know what, good
Speaker 1: good that's because here's the thing. It's not government, it's
Speaker 1: it should be the free market. And when you uh, well,
Speaker 1: we have news now that they're going to be delaying
Speaker 1: the launch of the game at least until February. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much you're gonna screw with it. I
Speaker 1: don't think you can. I don't think you can take
Speaker 1: a big, big, big game like this and rewrite the
Speaker 1: whole main protagonist. Can you in in in five months?
Speaker 1: No way?
Speaker 2: No, especially when they are like three thousand people they
Speaker 2: said we're making this game. Yeah, three thousand.
Speaker 1: You could just swap that person out, plus the storyline side.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe they're like, maybe they'll forget
Speaker 1: by February. I don't know. But this statement is everything
Speaker 1: that's wrong that these companies fail to realize. I mean,
Speaker 1: the investors are realizing it. Ubisoft got kicked in the
Speaker 1: teeth yesterday and that's what prompted this. Ubisoff's executive Committee
Speaker 1: and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and a
Speaker 1: review of the company. This following the company's release of
Speaker 1: a financial statement and update, which included the delay of
Speaker 1: Assassin's Creed. Well what do you think that did to
Speaker 1: their stock price yesterday? And shockingly, the announcement that Star
Speaker 1: Wars Outlaws may have underperformed, which is a very nice
Speaker 1: word when you actually realize how much it underperformed. But
Speaker 1: let me read this right here we go, I gotta
Speaker 1: read their whole statement. Uh, this is from the CEO.
Speaker 1: Let me address some of the polarized comments around Ubisoft lately.
Speaker 1: I want to reaffirm that we are an entertainment first company,
Speaker 1: creating games for the broadest possible audience, and our goal
Speaker 1: is not to push any specific agenda. It is it is,
Speaker 1: But I here's what I think. I think. I think
Speaker 1: it is so baked into what Wall Street or companies
Speaker 1: have convinced themselves is the normal. And I'll give you
Speaker 1: an example. You ever try to argue with somebody who's
Speaker 1: all right, so it's you know, some leftist moon bent
Speaker 1: on there and they're arguing the thing, and you're not
Speaker 1: even pushing back. You're just kind of you know, you're
Speaker 1: using examples of you know, uh, like, here's my opinion,
Speaker 1: what's your You're have an actual disco worse, And then
Speaker 1: rather than discussing the point, they say something like, look,
Speaker 1: this isn't politics, this is human rights, okay, which is
Speaker 1: which is an absolute communist intellectual tool. By the way, right,
Speaker 1: you want to you want to separate your cause, right,
Speaker 1: so it's not comparable or it's not comparable contrastible to
Speaker 1: somebody who may have an opposite opinion. Their opinion is
Speaker 1: is bad. Your opinion is you're championing human rights that
Speaker 1: you you've heard that a thousand times, right. And I
Speaker 1: think that there's there's just too many of these idiots
Speaker 1: up in management, especially in middle management. I think the CEOs.
Speaker 1: Obviously there's some that are cooked, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's so beaten into people's brains at
Speaker 1: the university level, within the middle management, you gotta be
Speaker 1: down with the DEI all this stuff that they don't like.
Speaker 1: It's not normal doing that to a video game. It's
Speaker 1: not normal. Giving press uh you know, press conferences, crapping
Speaker 1: all over the storyline which is a beloved storyline of
Speaker 1: your movie. It's not normal. And yes, if a CEO
Speaker 1: or leadership, if they want to go out and they
Speaker 1: have some cause azure, then they better be able to
Speaker 1: react to people who feel that it is literally screwing
Speaker 1: up your product, unnecessary or heavy handed. Look, you know,
Speaker 1: iHeart we're a big company if that. Every year they
Speaker 1: put out a report and an annual report which is
Speaker 1: a public document, and it highlights what was the company
Speaker 1: up to. And it also focuses on the charitable stuff,
Speaker 1: right and and iHeart does a ton of it, and
Speaker 1: and yes we do LGBTQ stuff, but we also do
Speaker 1: like police stuff and in girl Scouts and boy Scouts
Speaker 1: and and you know it's it's it's a real you
Speaker 1: could beat somebody to death with this document. And then
Speaker 1: there's some there's some bigger things that that are company.
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking on behalf. I'm just pointing out that, like,
Speaker 1: we do a lot of this, but also, if you know,
Speaker 1: if our CEO decided his pet project is f them kids, right,
Speaker 1: And so every every week it's just us highlighting kids
Speaker 1: in need and go and f those kids. Right, Maybe
Speaker 1: pull your bootstraps, get some gumption, you know that kind
Speaker 1: of crap, right, you'd be horrified. Got to be fair,
Speaker 1: some kids need to motivate, but it would be it
Speaker 1: would be mind numbingly stupid, because for the most part,
Speaker 1: people like kids, and for the most part, video game
Speaker 1: players like video games that make sense and are not
Speaker 1: political because they want to play video games. And so
Speaker 1: I think that what I honestly, I think the person
Speaker 1: who probably penned this, which wasn't the CEO, but you know,
Speaker 1: somebody in that you know, that c suite communications thing,
Speaker 1: that person probably can't understand why people are upset. And
Speaker 1: when your company's build up with that, you're just asking
Speaker 1: for this to be a problem. How much money is
Speaker 1: Ubisoft gonna lose? How much money did Sony just lose?
Speaker 1: How much money did Disney lose? And I look at
Speaker 1: it and all I can think is, are we on
Speaker 1: the verge of a potential course correction on some of
Speaker 1: this stuff, because at the end of the day, you
Speaker 1: can say, I'm not going to do business with this
Speaker 1: company anymore. But maybe you like stuff. Maybe you like
Speaker 1: the Assassin's Creed game. That's the thing too. They're like
Speaker 1: the people who are the most critical. They're saying don't
Speaker 1: like the game. No, they do, or they wouldn't care.
Speaker 2: They like the way it was. The problem is they're creating,
Speaker 2: whether it's movies or video games, they're creating a product
Speaker 2: for an audience that doesn't exist well, insulting the audience
Speaker 2: that played it.
Speaker 1: Yes, started the Star Wars I should call it this
Speaker 1: Star Wars strategy or something. I don't know, but like
Speaker 1: it's so if I if I just asked the random
Speaker 1: person give me five examples this, you probably could. Even
Speaker 1: if you're not an entertainment reporter. Somebody's particularly plugged in
Speaker 1: because you watch it unfold in real time. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that the leadership at Ubisoft probably thinks, no,
Speaker 1: everything's normal, what's their problem? But the financials don't lie.
Speaker 2: The Tokyo Game Show kicks off today. It's for the
Speaker 2: next three days and.
Speaker 1: They're going protesting there.
Speaker 2: What they took. They took away the booth for this
Speaker 2: game on the floor that it's not going to be.
Speaker 2: That's bad.
Speaker 1: These are all really big deals that maybe don't mean
Speaker 1: as much to you know, be and you and all that.
Speaker 1: But that's that's insane. I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: this Tokyo pretty good video game market, big show, right.
Speaker 2: I believe that's also in Japan. Correct, let me check
Speaker 2: this game is a Japan.
Speaker 1: I was a pretty finalist in the geography, that is true,
Speaker 1: and I was, but it was also Wyoming, so you know,
Speaker 1: Pulse got you there, all right anyway, So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire. We'll be back, that's right, hanging out
Speaker 1: with that crew that I probably couldn't pay any of
Speaker 1: you a million dollars to spell you probably for a million,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. And you know these
Speaker 1: they talk about all the different issues. They should have
Speaker 1: a whole laundry list, and and you know, frankly with
Speaker 1: Joe Biden right now, just you know, just spending the
Speaker 1: ten minutes or whatever you have, like who's running things,
Speaker 1: what's going on? That would be a good use of
Speaker 1: ten minutes. And then Stephanie Rule from MSNBC caught herself
Speaker 1: a not live pre recorded interview with Kamala Harris, and
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. Ross won't stop using the word
Speaker 1: holistically though this morning, and it's getting obnoxious. So how
Speaker 1: many times you could think you could work the words
Speaker 1: just on a normal day? How many times a day
Speaker 1: do you think you could work the word holistically into
Speaker 1: whatever conversations you have without people going that's weird.
Speaker 2: So you want to do like the super Troopers me
Speaker 2: out thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm just how many before people go gosh, he
Speaker 1: uses that word a lot? You know, that's a thing
Speaker 1: in radio, h the word crutches or speech crushes, not
Speaker 1: just in radio. And literally if a radio guy, here's
Speaker 1: another radio guy using a word a lot more than usual,
Speaker 1: they'll tell them.
Speaker 2: I pointed this out to you about a month ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the word wild was using wild too much because
Speaker 1: because it becomes a crutch and then it like clicks.
Speaker 1: The thing what I used to do is I'd write
Speaker 1: it down on a piece of paper in front of
Speaker 1: me and I'd be like, oh, don't use that word
Speaker 1: and what You're just trying to normalize your speaking because
Speaker 1: it sounds weird.
Speaker 2: I know, I've got like, how many notes do you
Speaker 2: think I have here, my boy, I'm counting like at
Speaker 2: least like fifty seven or something. They all say olive garden.
Speaker 1: All that, though, is watching a fill in the first time.
Speaker 1: Look at your board and it's you know, eighteen hundred's quality,
Speaker 1: and also all your toys and all your notes, and
Speaker 1: it's it's got to be deeply terrifying. So anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: olive garden is written everywhere and yet won't shut up
Speaker 1: about it. So when I'm listening to Kamala Harris at
Speaker 1: a softball interview, do this and.
Speaker 4: Assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars and
Speaker 4: looking holistically at the connection between that and housing, and
Speaker 4: looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government
Speaker 4: can create for local and state governments to actually engage
Speaker 4: in planning in a holistic manner. That includes prioritizing affordable housing.
Speaker 1: Holistic but affordable housing. Right, What does that answer even mean?
Speaker 1: And that's not even the dumbest one, that's just the one.
Speaker 1: What's like, how did you use holistically three times in there?
Speaker 1: Unless this, unless you were talking about the word and
Speaker 1: its definition, you used it too many times without ever
Speaker 1: answering the question. I'm telling you, are you? Are you
Speaker 1: ready center yourself? Center yourself.
Speaker 5: For this?
Speaker 1: Although hold, I gotta get them over on different channels
Speaker 1: due to do Sorry, important technical thing should have been
Speaker 1: thank you? All right? Ready, let me get the well,
Speaker 1: get the zither music here?
Speaker 6: Expanding that child tax credit?
Speaker 1: No too loud? Here we go, all right, Kamala, say
Speaker 1: something even worse.
Speaker 6: Spanding that child tax credit? Or you mentioned housing before
Speaker 6: giving that extra money for a first home. If you
Speaker 6: can't raise corporate taxes, or if GP takes control of this,
Speaker 6: where do you get the money to do that? Do
Speaker 6: you still go forward those plans?
Speaker 1: And all right? And I'm gonna I'm gonna stop at
Speaker 1: what we play, but I need i because I want
Speaker 1: you to make no bones about what the question is.
Speaker 1: The question is, and it's one that has been asked
Speaker 1: a thousand times, a thousand different ways throughout our political system.
Speaker 1: If you find yourself in a situation where your party
Speaker 1: doesn't control all the levers of government, specifically in this case,
Speaker 1: the the Congress and more specifically the House, which has
Speaker 1: to originate spending bills, or at least should They've got
Speaker 1: a bunch of tricks, But how do you accomplish these
Speaker 1: things you say you want to do, they are going
Speaker 1: to require a lot of money. That's an incredibly fair question.
Speaker 1: What do you want to do if you're not able
Speaker 1: to have control of funding and bills, how do you
Speaker 1: how do you attempt to accomplish it? And the correct
Speaker 1: answer is, you know, we're gonna have to partner, We're
Speaker 1: gonna have to uh, we're gonna have to horse trade
Speaker 1: or whatever that's used to be what you'd say, and
Speaker 1: then people call you a rhino or whatever the Democrat
Speaker 1: version of it is, and nobody'd be happy. But you
Speaker 1: better have an answer for it, even if it's one
Speaker 1: about you know, we have to convince Republicans what we're
Speaker 1: doing is that's I know it's boilerplate, but at least
Speaker 1: you're addressing the question.
Speaker 6: Here we go expanding that child tax credit, or you
Speaker 6: mentioned housing before getting that extra money for a first home.
Speaker 6: If you can't raise corporate taxes, or if GOP takes
Speaker 6: control of the Senate, where do you get the money
Speaker 6: to do that? Do you still go forward those plans
Speaker 6: and borrow?
Speaker 1: Well, but we're gonna.
Speaker 4: Have to raise corporate taxes and we're gonna have to raise.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to make sure that the biggest corporations
Speaker 4: and billionaires pay their fisher That's just it. It's about
Speaker 4: paying their fair share.
Speaker 1: Well, I I think Biden could have put a more
Speaker 1: coherent answer. I'm serious. It depends on the time of
Speaker 1: the day and what's going on around him. I think
Speaker 1: I think Biden just with his years and years though
Speaker 1: it might be automatic, but you know, he could approach
Speaker 1: it in a well, look, I've formulated relationships over the years,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna work on those relationships. And if we
Speaker 1: need to change the tax coach is I think Congress does,
Speaker 1: then we'll make our case. Or he could do the
Speaker 1: angry thing. He's like, well, we won't let him, and
Speaker 1: we'll hold postage their pet projects. Right, Those are the
Speaker 1: two normal Washington answers. She was just asked, if you're
Speaker 1: not able to do this thing, what do you do?
Speaker 1: And she's like, we do the thing, yeah, but you're
Speaker 1: not able to do the thing, So how do you
Speaker 1: still accomplish the other thing? Well, we got to do
Speaker 1: the thing, and rules like I good enough. Next crazy question.
Speaker 1: But if you thought the softballs were getting slung over there,
Speaker 1: it took a much weirder turnover on the view. First
Speaker 1: of all, Joe Biden, if you're any of kamalists people,
Speaker 1: you had to hear this and do the thing like
Speaker 1: off stage or go his second air through your gritted teeth. Oh,
Speaker 1: don't say that. And his vice president.
Speaker 6: There wasn't a single thing that I did that she
Speaker 6: couldn't do, and so I was.
Speaker 3: Able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy
Speaker 3: domestic policy.
Speaker 1: I'm Donald Trump and I approved this man. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: take that bad boy. Wait, so the person who is
Speaker 1: the vice president who is now running to be president
Speaker 1: may have been delegated literally what did he say? A
Speaker 1: foreign and domestic policy? So that's all the stuff, right ross,
Speaker 1: would you check foreign policy and domestic policy? Would that
Speaker 1: encompass all policies?
Speaker 2: Sure, let me put that through the AIO machine. Yes
Speaker 2: it does, Yes, it does.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So everything pretty much? So the border, right,
Speaker 1: But you.
Speaker 2: Know what's important as we move forward, but.
Speaker 1: The boarder, I just want to make sure I understand
Speaker 1: all your policies foreign and domestic. So the border, right,
Speaker 1: that would be one that's arguably that's a little bit
Speaker 1: of both. So you know obviously that one's going to
Speaker 1: be square Afghanistan withdrawal. Does that fall under foreign policy
Speaker 1: or domestic policy? At least one of them? I believe it.
Speaker 1: It falls under one of them, and probably two of them.
Speaker 1: Since you're talking about US troops, dude, you want to
Speaker 1: talk about the size of that bus. Is is not
Speaker 1: a small bus and Kamala Harris loves talking about buses.
Speaker 1: So you just got thrown under one. And then when
Speaker 1: he wasn't doing that, Joe Biden was pretending to squash
Speaker 1: Trump like a bug. Though he he didn't. He didn't
Speaker 1: start it. And I again, I know we're in this
Speaker 1: crazy time and obviously there's assassination attempts and words have
Speaker 1: meaning and all that stuff. Do I think he's calling
Speaker 1: for for Trump to die? No, I think he's going
Speaker 1: along with what the uh cackling hens on the on
Speaker 1: the view have to say. But it's still not a
Speaker 1: good look right now.
Speaker 2: He just wouldn't go.
Speaker 1: It was like a bug. He just kept this is
Speaker 1: by the way, whoop he's referring to Trump.
Speaker 2: He just wouldn't go.
Speaker 1: He was like a bug.
Speaker 2: He just kept being there.
Speaker 1: Who was like a like a bug right there? So
Speaker 1: you felt and then Uh, obviously it's radio. So what
Speaker 1: you see is you see Biden slap his hand like
Speaker 1: you slap a fly that landed on the counter in
Speaker 1: front of you, although you'd have to have my ninja
Speaker 1: like skills to get it. But anyway, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what he was doing. So let's see specifically, uh
Speaker 1: whatever the whole setup here, I mean again, it was
Speaker 1: it was said joking, it was uh whoopee was complaining
Speaker 1: that while hosting that Trump was an annoying insect that
Speaker 1: no one had been able to successfully show away. I
Speaker 1: gotta play the guy from Idaho again, talks to heaven
Speaker 1: and things. You know. No, so if you believe that again,
Speaker 1: every little bit counts, Every little bit counts. Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: There was nothing of substance that really came out of
Speaker 1: it other than some fun audio cuts. By fun, I
Speaker 1: mean uh so flagellating. Really all right, six forty six
Speaker 1: case O Day radio program and not the only Politico
Speaker 1: throwing out some interesting verbage. And remember how I told
Speaker 1: you my favorite thing currently watching like CNN or MSNBC
Speaker 1: is when they go to the black barber shop or
Speaker 1: we get a pay The MSNBC just had a panel
Speaker 1: of undecided black voters. Right, and whoever's whoever's doing the
Speaker 1: roundtable or hosting the group right, starts asking them questions
Speaker 1: and it's clear the answers are not what they expected.
Speaker 1: Right from the CNN. Dude it went and got himself
Speaker 1: a new Jordan shirt, right, it showed up at the
Speaker 1: black barber shop and they started talking about Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: I heard she wasn't black, like that whole thing was
Speaker 1: off the rails. We played that audio for you. It
Speaker 1: happened again, Yeah, kind of. We'll get into that coming
Speaker 1: up here on the KCO Day radio program. We got
Speaker 1: Daisy Ridley has got thoughts. We have some other game
Speaker 1: developer and whatever it's. This is part of the larger discussion,
Speaker 1: a larger question. At what point you get kicked in
Speaker 1: the teeth enough financially you go, you know what, maybe
Speaker 1: what we're doing is not working. Because what happens is,
Speaker 1: especially if you're a publicly traded company, you start to
Speaker 1: you start to delve into fiduciary responsibility stuff, right, and
Speaker 1: the responsibility that people in charge of these companies have
Speaker 1: to shareholders, and you know, the shareholders will let you
Speaker 1: know they're upset a couple of ways. They'll not invest,
Speaker 1: but they'll sue you and I. That is what in
Speaker 1: this case, ubersofs wanted to get in front of and
Speaker 1: literally on the day that's going on, I'm reading all
Speaker 1: of these folks in entertainment are just like, Noah, screw you.
Speaker 1: You guys. Remember Mackelmore? Remember Mackelmore. I can't remember his
Speaker 1: real name. It's like the most Irish Scottish thing ever,
Speaker 1: but whatever. So he is a a musician from Seattle
Speaker 1: and his big baby is his only hit or his
Speaker 1: big hit? I admit I don't know. Is thrift shop? Right?
Speaker 1: These are the days? Well? That's a cover, right, is
Speaker 1: it the same as? These are? Okay? As who's sang that?
Speaker 1: Trying to remember who's sang these are the days? Now? Now,
Speaker 1: these are the days of our lives? That is, queen,
Speaker 1: these are the days Lauren Daigel. Yeah, somebody else did it.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Is that a cover of a cover?
Speaker 5: All? Right?
Speaker 1: Here we go, Oh so it's not. It's not Van Morrison's.
Speaker 1: That's that's what I was thinking. Okay, it's not cover. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, different same title. That's always wondering, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you want to cover Van Morrison, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I dig on some Van Morrison. But and if it's entertaining, great.
Speaker 1: The problem is he was doing a concert the other
Speaker 1: day and decided to Jack Black himself a little, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I noticed something ross I never saw
Speaker 1: on the streaming all the Jack Black movies and now
Speaker 1: there's like a Jack Black collection on one of the
Speaker 1: streaming platforms. Do you think that's a coincidence considering the
Speaker 1: problems he just had down and self inflicted. I might
Speaker 1: add where his partners out there like, oh, they should
Speaker 1: have shot Trump again or what. I can't remember what
Speaker 1: that idiot said. But I just think it's interesting because
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, you have a Jack Black collection
Speaker 1: on this streaming service. It's like School of Rock and
Speaker 1: some other stuff. And by the way, I had no
Speaker 1: appetite for it. But also I wonder if his people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, we need to get our stuff streaming out.
Speaker 1: There's the Remember that I'm not a lunatics. Sometimes I'm funny.
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. So anyway, Maclamore
Speaker 1: is on stage and he's screaming or attempting to get
Speaker 1: the crowd to chant it. So he's not just saying
Speaker 1: he's trying to get the crowd chant f America. That
Speaker 1: not received well. And in fact, the music fa is
Speaker 1: not our music festival. It's another one called Neon City,
Speaker 1: which is a big music fest going on in Vegas.
Speaker 1: They have removed mackelmore from it, and so then by
Speaker 1: people say, oh, it's free speech. The organizers of that
Speaker 1: are not government. So one, you're an idiot, but two,
Speaker 1: this is the culture that you want it. And also
Speaker 1: I don't know that I think people are getting tired
Speaker 1: of it. I think most people for the most part,
Speaker 1: over the years have rolled their eyes when some artists
Speaker 1: is up there getting an oscar right and decides to
Speaker 1: use it as a minute to well, we just learned
Speaker 1: to tune it out. The problem is you've all done it,
Speaker 1: and you've also done it to the point where now
Speaker 1: you're accusing people of not doing what you want because
Speaker 1: your ego is not in check of you know, being
Speaker 1: domestic terrorists stuf and for you're one of these lunatics.
Speaker 1: So now people are listening to what you're saying and
Speaker 1: they're reacting to it.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I kind of feel like that woke wave
Speaker 2: has sort of started to pull back.
Speaker 1: No, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It's what it feels like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're seeing consequences out there. I
Speaker 1: how Disney doesn't like talk to their artists before they
Speaker 1: do interviews. I mean to the extent that you can.
Speaker 1: But is this productive? Imagine being somebody who's who's who
Speaker 1: the return which a lot of a lot of times
Speaker 1: when you get compensated in Hollywood, a big chunk of
Speaker 1: it is return based. They caught you to get points
Speaker 1: or any of that. Can you imagine being somebody who's
Speaker 1: got who's got a little skin in the game, and
Speaker 1: one person in the whole project can essentially financially tank you,
Speaker 1: but they're so rich they don't care. All right. This
Speaker 1: is the guy you probably saw it who was like,
Speaker 1: he heard a bunch of dudes hooking up in a
Speaker 1: room and he's outside of that, and you could tell
Speaker 1: he kind of had a problem with it. So he's
Speaker 1: he's one who did the audio taping through the door
Speaker 1: of one of the freak offs with I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: but dude every time, and a big chunk of what
Speaker 1: this guy talked about in is one interview we now
Speaker 1: know to at least be part of the charging documents,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. So anytime I see this guy's
Speaker 1: name is Gene deal, I am anytime I see a
Speaker 1: little snippet of him on Twitter or whatever, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go click on it because uh, yes, yes it is
Speaker 1: an indulgence, but it's also insane. And by the way,
Speaker 1: on this story, you used my joke as your actual explanation.
Speaker 1: I I was gonna pull the I just I space this.
Speaker 1: I was gonna go back and see if Ross could
Speaker 1: find it. But I could remember exactly what do you
Speaker 1: remember we were talking about the thousand bottles of lube.
Speaker 1: Obviously we brought that up, the baby oil loube they
Speaker 1: had on his property, and you know, we're doing the
Speaker 1: things that too much. I mean, hell, you know what's
Speaker 1: up with that? And like the offhanded, dumb joke I
Speaker 1: made was, no, it's you go to Costco and they
Speaker 1: only sell them like that. Are you guys ready for this?
Speaker 1: Did He's lawyers? Did these lawyers attempting to explain why
Speaker 1: the fifty four year old rap artist had so many
Speaker 1: bottles of baby oil and lube, roughly one thousand according
Speaker 1: to documents. I didn't want to get into the free
Speaker 1: call for any of the rest of that stuff. So instead,
Speaker 1: what is this guy's name? Agna Fio, it's the lawyer's name.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that number came from, the US
Speaker 1: attorney said at the reporter said, I'm not really sure
Speaker 1: what baby oil has to do with anything, said did
Speaker 1: he's attorney. He has a big house. He buys in bulk.
Speaker 1: I think there's a Costco nearby Ross you ever got
Speaker 1: you guys shop at Costco or BJ's or any of
Speaker 1: the club things or Sam's Club.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we do. Sam's. I think we have
Speaker 2: a membership there.
Speaker 1: How many times have you actually only bought a thousand
Speaker 1: count of baby oil?
Speaker 2: I've never actually been inside, so probably if I were
Speaker 2: to estimate none, I've never done that yet.
Speaker 1: But Barky's come home obviously with thousands of bottles.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: It's never happened though, because you want.
Speaker 1: One or three and I only sell them in a
Speaker 1: thousand Who I'm sorry. Costco's got some insane packaging on
Speaker 1: some stuff, right, Like I, why do I need three computers?
Speaker 1: But you can buy that on their website. I realize
Speaker 1: was just shot. I was looking at a computer. I
Speaker 1: was reviewing it for somebody who's gonna buy it, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, you have a three. You have a three,
Speaker 1: which makes sense if you're using that to buy for
Speaker 1: like an office or something. But it's like they'll package
Speaker 1: deal PCs man things. Sticking a thousand bottles of baby
Speaker 1: oil or lubricant together may mean Costco. Shut up, you
Speaker 1: went to Costco. Now, don't get me wrong. Any of
Speaker 1: you who have ever shot at the Costco or Sam's
Speaker 1: or DJ's or whatever. We've overspent and it's especially painful
Speaker 1: now you roll that giant, oversized cart full of things
Speaker 1: you probably don't need, but there it is. How do
Speaker 1: you think I ended up with a caggurator look nice,
Speaker 1: good price man. I didn't go in. I didn't go
Speaker 1: in to buy a cargerator, but I bought one. I
Speaker 1: think I went in for gum or side. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like, you know, just standard stuff. That's that's Costco.
Speaker 1: Those are nobody's come home with a thousand bottles of
Speaker 1: baby oil. Anyway, back to the uh, the ex bodyguard.
Speaker 1: This is why I'm bringing it up, not just because
Speaker 1: he stole my excuse, all right, So uh jeene doo
Speaker 1: claims multiple polot Titians or on videotapes of the freak
Speaker 1: off parties, which sometimes lasted for days. Basically, he was
Speaker 1: running around like a like an orchestra conductor, and you
Speaker 1: had a mix of party goers musicians. Now they're claiming
Speaker 1: politicians paid sex workers and literally like Diddy would, according
Speaker 1: to the documents, he would force them to perform all
Speaker 1: these acts and do so for such an extended period
Speaker 1: of time that they had to have ivs available. And
Speaker 1: there's there's multiple lot of exotic dancers and whatnot. Who
Speaker 1: you know who are also prostituting, who who've already been
Speaker 1: interviewed about this, and it's insane. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get into all the details, but I want you to
Speaker 1: understand the scope of what we're talking about. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's Caligula on cracked minus. I guess the orgy boats,
Speaker 1: but the politicians things interesting like because if you google
Speaker 1: Sean Combs and then with politician, just go look at
Speaker 1: the Google image library now for a lot of them.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to think about stuff. I don't
Speaker 1: want you to try to get that image in your head,
Speaker 1: but can you imagine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean the rumors, they're like, he that
Speaker 2: he was doing what they say that Epstein was doing, right, Yes,
Speaker 2: like the same, the same sort of thing. And then
Speaker 2: I was reading yesterday they were saying that there's a
Speaker 2: rumor that he was he's actually been working with the
Speaker 2: FBI for a while, like as an informant.
Speaker 1: Now do you think and this is this is a
Speaker 1: good comparison, Like, I think there's a much higher likelihood
Speaker 1: that names get dropped here than Epstein. But why why
Speaker 1: should it be any different? But now that you're telling
Speaker 1: me politicians are in on it, I wonder if they don't. Right,
Speaker 1: It's one thing if like some rap artists basically had
Speaker 1: some embarrassing stuff or you know they're not out, but
Speaker 1: there was you know, they were having gay sex or
Speaker 1: with some of the gay escorts, and you know they
Speaker 1: didn't want that from an image standpoint whatever, That's not
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. If you're telling me politicians
Speaker 1: are at a thing called a freak off that inherently,
Speaker 1: according to prosecutors, included a bunch of illegal stuff. Now
Speaker 1: I'm thinking we aren't going to see it depending on
Speaker 1: who those politicians may be.
Speaker 5: But you never know.
Speaker 1: Right back to the story. He claims to spied all
Speaker 1: of the alleged crimes that did he committed in California
Speaker 1: and Florida. There's a reason why he was charged with racketeering,
Speaker 1: sex trafficking, and the transportation to engage in prostitution in
Speaker 1: New York. You know who else they're doing investigation on
Speaker 1: during this whole time period, the mayor of New York City.
Speaker 1: Oh that's why I'm trying this story in If you
Speaker 1: guys didn't see yesterday the mayor Eric Adams was indicted.
Speaker 1: Now they're referring to it is not unless ros you
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything that has come out identifying the individual charges, right,
Speaker 1: I've not. Okay, yeah, I that the document itself. We
Speaker 1: just know that it involves racketeering.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the one way I take that bad.
Speaker 2: The one thing I saw maybe you mentioned it and
Speaker 2: I wasn't paying attention to my bed, was the they
Speaker 2: said there was some sort of rumor I was reading
Speaker 2: about and this was from a physical actual or Didy Adams.
Speaker 2: They were saying, like the Turkish government was somehow.
Speaker 1: Yeah so so yeah, basically this is this is like
Speaker 1: the more localized version of working as a foreign agent.
Speaker 1: Without registering. You know, you hear that sometimes you heard
Speaker 1: it with whenever they want to go out and get
Speaker 1: somebody in your administration, A lot of times that's what
Speaker 1: the allege that they've done. So in the case of Adams,
Speaker 1: I think it's twenty some different countries where there were allegations.
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're part of the indictment, but
Speaker 1: I think most people were thinking it was that or
Speaker 1: just basic corruption. You want to hear an insane fact
Speaker 1: that came out in that story, No mayor, sitting mayor
Speaker 1: of New York has ever been indicted.
Speaker 2: How that doesn't even seem possible.
Speaker 1: Tammary Hall, what do we what? How is a mayor
Speaker 1: of New York never been indicted. I'm almost embarrassed.
Speaker 2: For you because because maybe they none of them pissed
Speaker 2: off the fence enough.
Speaker 1: Oh I think so. Yeah. So the other theory with
Speaker 1: Adams is because he has although it's not a very
Speaker 1: effective one, is because he's raised alarm about you know,
Speaker 1: a trend lay a trend day Aragua, which is the
Speaker 1: Venezuelan gang. I can never say Ragua, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: is the Venezuelan gang that people are worried about. But
Speaker 1: even just the motorcycle robberies, all this stuff midtown men
Speaker 1: and turn it into a giant migrant shelter. Like He's
Speaker 1: been critical of this stuff, and I saw people speculating
Speaker 1: that because you wouldn't fall in line on immigration, they're
Speaker 1: going to take him out. That seems like a bit
Speaker 1: of an overreaction for that.
Speaker 2: I think what it was is he introduced trash can
Speaker 2: technology to New York City and the Feds were like,
Speaker 2: you've you've flown too close to the sun.
Speaker 1: We've got to take you out right. You don't know
Speaker 1: what they are. They're getting be trapped in the trash mans.
Speaker 1: All right, So I was gonna do a pole and
Speaker 1: I'm not putting your trash can thing on.
Speaker 5: A pole man.
Speaker 2: I just say I've had the timing is suspect, you.
Speaker 1: Know, because one it can't be true, and two because
Speaker 1: you just brought up on the air, you know your
Speaker 1: your minions will go vote for it, and it's totally
Speaker 1: screwed up my mouth. So all right, So it could
Speaker 1: be trash can stuff. It could be that, or you know,
Speaker 1: it could be in a three way with Meek Mill
Speaker 1: and uh uh puffy h. But we shall see now
Speaker 1: as far as the charges go, Adams did release a
Speaker 1: pre recorded video. I guess who is ready for this,
Speaker 1: fellow New Yorkers.
Speaker 7: It is now my belief that the federal government intends
Speaker 7: to charge me with crimes. If so, these charges would
Speaker 7: be entirely false, based on lies, but they would not
Speaker 7: be surprising. I always knew that if I stood my
Speaker 7: ground for all of you, that I would be a target,
Speaker 7: and a target I became. For months, leaks and rumors
Speaker 7: have been aimed at me in an attempt to undermine
Speaker 7: my credibility and paint me as guilty. Just this past week,
Speaker 7: they searched the home of our new police commissioner looking
Speaker 7: for documents from twenty years ago, just one week after
Speaker 7: he joined my administration. Enough, I would fight these injustice
Speaker 7: is with every ounce of my stint and my spirit.
Speaker 7: If I'm charged, I know I am innocent.
Speaker 1: Look and let me say this, they are going full
Speaker 1: guns blazing on this dude. And so when the big
Speaker 1: reveal comes it, I'm expecting it to be just insane,
Speaker 1: right you know where it's like, you know, basically, my
Speaker 1: new commissioner got the job because he paid me this
Speaker 1: and I was charging I want to hear blaguevich stuff, right,
Speaker 1: so I want to hear selling Senate seats with F
Speaker 1: bombs every other word. Or however, because it's New York,
Speaker 1: you better talk like a New Yorker too. If there's
Speaker 1: not a bunch of F bombs, I'm.
Speaker 2: Not even listen. If I have to pick one thing
Speaker 2: that I do like about Eric Adams, right, like you
Speaker 2: have to pick one thing gun to my head, I
Speaker 2: what I enjoy about him is he does sound like
Speaker 2: he's from New York City. Yeah, I think if you
Speaker 2: are the mayor of New York, you should have a
Speaker 2: thick accident like build the Blasio. No Giuliani. Yes, he
Speaker 2: took down the mob. He was an amazing governor, but
Speaker 2: but he doesn't even compare to Eric adams accent. That
Speaker 2: is what a New York mayor on the may of
Speaker 2: New York, that's what he should. You know what I
Speaker 2: mean that that sounds right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But if so, it better be a bunch of stuff,
Speaker 1: because if it's willy nilly, then that's that's crazy. Man.
Speaker 1: You go after this dude because you know, normally, especially
Speaker 1: when your party is controlling the judicial system, which is
Speaker 1: you know, Mary Garland is the ag this is a
Speaker 1: federal indictment, right, they're gonna cut you a wide berth
Speaker 1: on stuff. Blaguyevitch, you know in Chicago he was governor,
Speaker 1: but you know, trying to sell Obama Senate seat. What
Speaker 1: was amazing was that was the impetus. But if you
Speaker 1: remember like they had, they were easily able to document
Speaker 1: years of corruption with that dude, which is why I
Speaker 1: never understood why Trump entertained the idea of him. You
Speaker 1: know that me and friends. The only reason Trump liked
Speaker 1: it is because Blaguoyevitch was so mad of the Democrats
Speaker 1: room under the bus that he was sucking up to Trump.
Speaker 1: It was all weird, but like the level of corruption
Speaker 1: within Chicago and Illinois politics, it was everything you thought
Speaker 1: it was, and probably more because obviously I'm not going
Speaker 1: to put stuff in there that starts to nick you
Speaker 1: know people they're not mad at. Plus, I want him
Speaker 1: to do it so we can play the game again.
Speaker 1: I want there to be crazy the B word, set
Speaker 1: me up tapes, Okay, I want Marion Barry's stuff so
Speaker 1: I can play. And I wanted to swear a lot
Speaker 1: because when Blugoyevitch came out, we played a game on
Speaker 1: the radio called Blogoyevich or soprano, and I had audio
Speaker 1: or not audio. I had audio cuts, but they were
Speaker 1: of our voice guy reading quotes, and then people have
Speaker 1: to decide whether it was a Tony soprano or Blogoyevitch quote.
Speaker 1: And it was an insanely difficult game. I want those
Speaker 1: things to fall into my lap. Again, we had a
Speaker 1: lot of fun with that. So I don't know what
Speaker 1: the atoms. I don't know, you know what the totality
Speaker 1: of it will be. But if it ain't the diddy
Speaker 1: freak off and it's just like political stuff, it's got
Speaker 1: to be a bunch because again, you're not You're not
Speaker 1: gonna go kneecap your own people unless it's risen to
Speaker 1: a level that you feel it's uh, it's it's unnecessary.
Speaker 1: And and you start seeing those political changes, you know
Speaker 1: the fact, the fact is, and this is what has
Speaker 1: things fractured and turmoiled. And however you want to describe it,
Speaker 1: you are watching you're watching three distinct camps on Mark Robinson.
Speaker 1: Happened right now on the Republican side, or at least
Speaker 1: the uh, the independent side, or however you want to
Speaker 1: describe it. Right You're seeing three very specific camps for him,
Speaker 1: not just with you know, people might vote for market,
Speaker 1: people work for them, and people around found him who
Speaker 1: has decided I don't want to tell their campaigns near
Speaker 1: him anymore. You're watching that divide going on and and
Speaker 1: to some extent, that's that's what you're seeing here. What's
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy is if that Eric Adams stuff comes
Speaker 1: out and it is the Diddy stuff, which I can't
Speaker 1: I can't even fathom. Oh man always not our politicians.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have confidence that Virginia Fox is not
Speaker 1: down there. So that being said, there's been some corrupt
Speaker 1: Florida stuff. Who is the guy ran for governor they
Speaker 1: found in the meth hotel room. I can't remember his name.
Speaker 1: That dude, That dude after that story, bruh, that dude sounds.
Speaker 2: Like he's down for a Oh you mean the guy
Speaker 2: that lost to a Disantis.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Remember right after, he's like, oh
Speaker 1: we found him. We found him basically in a medical emergency,
Speaker 1: all messed up at a hotel room, naked with feces everywhere.
Speaker 1: Voters got that one, right, That dude wants to come
Speaker 1: for a freak off. Well, some say they didn't and
Speaker 1: they drove them to it. We'll be back. So there's
Speaker 1: a video What's TV stations is from w c NC
Speaker 1: if you ever took this video there at Chitola and
Speaker 1: that is damn terrifying. Ross. This is on wr L
Speaker 1: on the front there if you just if you need
Speaker 1: a link there, all right, so headlight excuse me? Possible
Speaker 1: tornadoes Senior blowing rock ahead of Hurricane Helene. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's scary looking. Oh you know what that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's just a few miles from Boone. From Boone, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be a wonderful opportunity for Boom Big Beer
Speaker 1: truthers to explain why it's not there. All blew away?
Speaker 1: So do you know if your fake big Beer is okay?
Speaker 1: Did you check in on it?
Speaker 2: And we they were attracted into the ground.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that that seems wildly expensive and unnecessary.
Speaker 2: It's worth it. It's like the retractable roof North Carolina tradition,
Speaker 2: the Boon Big Beer preencils too or yeah those they
Speaker 2: left those up, yes, otherwise they blow off the top.
Speaker 2: Come on, what's the last time you went there?
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 2: When's the last time you went there.
Speaker 1: The blowing rocker never because it's not a thing. But
Speaker 1: in the area. Uh, let's see about a year and
Speaker 1: a half ago. Yeah, yeah, it would have been fall
Speaker 1: to I took. Yeah, I got the fall color pictures too. Uh.
Speaker 1: From where we're staying. That was nice, the big beer,
Speaker 1: lots of colorful leaves. Although, to be fair, like if
Speaker 1: you guys do it like blowing, that's like blowing rock
Speaker 1: stick right, the whole thing is based on weird weather phenomena.
Speaker 1: So you're been to the blowing rock Ross. You've never
Speaker 1: been a blowing rock or Boone in general.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean I went to Boone to see the
Speaker 2: Boone big beer.
Speaker 1: But but you've never been a blowing rock right, I'm
Speaker 1: not okay? All right, So blowing rock has traffic? Is
Speaker 1: it real?
Speaker 2: Or is this like a thing you're making up?
Speaker 1: Obnoxious obnoxious other people, lots of good people. But it's
Speaker 1: it's a whole it's a whole thing. They got some
Speaker 1: decent restaurants. But in time I go to the area,
Speaker 1: I'm not staying in town. I'm me get out of there.
Speaker 1: Although I do like going to the English pub there.
Speaker 1: That's just me so anyway. But the tourist attraction is
Speaker 1: there's uh, there's the blowing rock, and basically it's just
Speaker 1: it's just a situation where you get wind currents that
Speaker 1: act in a very odd manner, and sometimes if it's snowing,
Speaker 1: it's snowing upwards because you're getting that wind gust up there.
Speaker 1: So I think a tornado. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: that's stand out, but I look at this video and
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that stands out.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: C NC meteorologist Brad Panovitch uh showed the storm or
Speaker 1: the video. This is again right above Shatola Resort, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I've ever told you my Shatola Resort story.
Speaker 1: So you guys, you've never been to Chitola, which is
Speaker 1: as you're coming in on was a three twenty one.
Speaker 1: As you're coming in from boone, go past tweet see railroad.
Speaker 1: Make sure your windows are up so you don't have
Speaker 1: to hear any of that nonsense. Sorry, I had kids
Speaker 1: dash across that highway in front of me one time
Speaker 1: tweets see will be the death of them, right, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: But when you get into blowing rock, just although they
Speaker 1: have kind of reformulated the lanes you go past the
Speaker 1: go past the outlet stores, which never do you guys,
Speaker 1: remember when the sinkhole opened in the parking lot of
Speaker 1: the outlet stores a few years ago and he couldn't
Speaker 1: gain access to him. I the girl I would scene
Speaker 1: at the time. I sent that to her because we
Speaker 1: were gonna we were going up and we're gonna be
Speaker 1: at Shatola. We were going up there, and she want
Speaker 1: to stop it, and I thought it was the funniest
Speaker 1: damn thing. I'm like, oh man, oh no, a sinkhole
Speaker 1: open and the only ingress or egress into the into
Speaker 1: the outlet stores that you expected we'd spend an entire
Speaker 1: day at. That's a shame. Boy, oh boy, you hate
Speaker 1: to see that. So anyway, yeah, you got that going.
Speaker 1: And but that's you know, right those outlet stores. The
Speaker 1: area of the wraps around north of it is Chatola
Speaker 1: and it's a big, big resort. They got a lake
Speaker 1: there with some decent fission if you know what you're doing,
Speaker 1: lots of condos, you got the hotel, they got a
Speaker 1: steakhouse bar up there. So anyway, I did an Airbnb
Speaker 1: on one of those condos one time because I want
Speaker 1: to stay at Chatola had never stayed there, you know,
Speaker 1: it is good. But so I'm down in the restaurant
Speaker 1: and the lake I told you about a Chatola La
Speaker 1: has a peninsula that sticks out into it. And it
Speaker 1: just happened as I'm sitting up in the Timber Lake
Speaker 1: Steakhouse or whatever it's called there. I'm sitting at the bar,
Speaker 1: which is kind of on the end where you can
Speaker 1: walk out, but you can see the lake, and there
Speaker 1: happens to be a wedding going on, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: looks like a lovely place.
Speaker 2: For a wedding.
Speaker 1: And so the wedding's going on, they're doing their thing.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, I'm talking to the bartender, watching sports
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's a weekend, and even though they have
Speaker 1: bathroom facilities, guests from the wedding, who are getting increasingly
Speaker 1: more drunk because it's reception now, are coming in and
Speaker 1: using the restroom facilities inside the building there. And so
Speaker 1: you'd seeing they'd walk through the bar and you know,
Speaker 1: here comes part of the you know, the bridesmaids, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden the bride. Here comes the
Speaker 1: bride and she is not walking on her own, which
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the first time somebody consumed too much
Speaker 1: of their wedding. I didn't think much of it, and
Speaker 1: I think I was joking with the bartender like, oh,
Speaker 1: looks like they're having a great time, and he was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you see what they're going through, uh liquor wise, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, well, awesome, right, Well, I don't
Speaker 1: think anything of it. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like I get this sense, like fifteen twenty minutes later
Speaker 1: that like a lot of people are in that restaurant,
Speaker 1: but they're but their their attention is on something. And
Speaker 1: you then I hear like wailing coming from the where
Speaker 1: because there's a hallway you got to go down so
Speaker 1: little ways over to where the bathrooms are. And I
Speaker 1: see what I now know is the bride's bother come in.
Speaker 1: I see the groom come in. They all head down
Speaker 1: that hallway. You hear some like here's some noises, but
Speaker 1: it's hard to hear down there. And then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the groom comes storming out of there and
Speaker 1: goes outside and he starts talking to I don't if
Speaker 1: it's his mother or her mother or whatever. And they're
Speaker 1: having a conversation right outside. I'm really not trying to
Speaker 1: pay attention, but there's just too much going on. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, two of the bride'smaids come in, and
Speaker 1: then the father comes back in and they go back
Speaker 1: in there forever. So after that, I really didn't see
Speaker 1: a whole bunch until the ambulance showed up and they
Speaker 1: come in, the EMT crew comes in, they're doing whatever
Speaker 1: they're doing back there. I'm trying to get information at
Speaker 1: this I'm in news mode, but it's just everything's just insane. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: everyone's just still drinking away down at the lake over there.
Speaker 1: And eventually they come out. They have her on a stretcher.
Speaker 1: They load her in an ambulance at her own wedding
Speaker 1: and take her away, except there is a god awful smell.
Speaker 1: And here's the story, which I got the next day
Speaker 1: from one of the people works there who i'd kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, buddy budded up with. And so the story is, yeah,
Speaker 1: she got really hammered. She came in to use the bathroom,
Speaker 1: was so drunk. Even if they dropped her there, she
Speaker 1: was unsuccessful and actually gaining access. So in the wedding
Speaker 1: dress and I mean everything in the wedding dress, which
Speaker 1: would explain that when it when somebody noticed what was
Speaker 1: going on, her brand new husband went up there. She
Speaker 1: started screaming at him because she wanted her daddy. That's
Speaker 1: your husband now, that's why he stormed out. And then
Speaker 1: dad had to show up and you know at this
Speaker 1: wedding he paid for and watch his daughter get hauled
Speaker 1: off by EMTs with a poopy wedding dress. Tadah. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was my first and only shitola experience.
Speaker 1: So there you go, all right seven four? Are we
Speaker 1: all better for that story? But ross wouldn't that be
Speaker 1: a memorable wedding? I mean, what do you do at
Speaker 1: that point? You have to do a do over? Because
Speaker 1: I just assumed that a bride would not want that
Speaker 1: to be the wedding, like like, oh, they are married.
Speaker 1: This was a reception. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why what
Speaker 1: she threw her what is now her husband out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this was the reception of the wedding. That's why everyone
Speaker 1: was tanking. Tuther Mine. They got married earlier in the day,
Speaker 1: but then all that went down, So I think he
Speaker 1: gave me a free drink though for the smell. Anyway,
Speaker 1: seven forty four raced agic. We were talking about all
Speaker 1: things blowing Rock area and the resort up there, but
Speaker 1: there's this video of what they're claiming may have been
Speaker 1: a tornado that touchdown. Confirm or can't confirm.
Speaker 8: I haven't seen anything on the storm reports, but I
Speaker 8: won't deny. I mean, if there was a weather service,
Speaker 8: I would have to get out there and confirm that.
Speaker 1: Are you up in New York right now? Or where
Speaker 1: are you?
Speaker 2: I am ask?
Speaker 1: Ok So, Yeah, it just sounded different. You sound over modulated,
Speaker 1: is what it is? So at Okay, it's okay, any better?
Speaker 1: I just kind of yeah, Ross, I have to potch.
Speaker 1: It's another It's well, let's do it now, We'll figure
Speaker 1: it out. But it's okay, man, Yeah, it's h Are
Speaker 1: you in jail? Do you need bail? Are you making
Speaker 1: a wrap?
Speaker 8: I had to come in and believe it or not,
Speaker 8: I'm supposed to be in a better facility here in
Speaker 8: the office, but clearly that's not the case. Yeah, let's
Speaker 8: see heaviest rain right now a west of the tryad
Speaker 8: into the mountains are already flood warnings.
Speaker 1: This is not Heleen.
Speaker 8: Triangle faring. Okay, but I really think you should be
Speaker 8: wrapping up preparations for wind, especially just west of the Triad,
Speaker 8: and more heavy rainfall catastrophic flooding in some cases, I'm
Speaker 8: not going to be out of the woods until sometime
Speaker 8: tomorrow morning. So although triangle flooding, one to three inches
Speaker 8: of rain and gusty way still some impacts I think
Speaker 8: the worst from basically let's just say the try it
Speaker 8: and west, especially into the mountains where it's raining now
Speaker 8: and it will continue to rain. There's heavy rain when
Speaker 8: the warnings come. That's when you are expected to take
Speaker 8: cover and take higher ground. There be also some severe weather.
Speaker 8: That threat's gonna be as we head toward tomorrow morning
Speaker 8: and during the at least first part of tomorrow, so
Speaker 8: you know, more rain and thunderstorms. Right now, the severe's
Speaker 8: threat is limited, but the rain threat is continued.
Speaker 1: By Wilkes.
Speaker 8: Alexander County is catabo down toward York and west flood
Speaker 8: to watch. Tropical storm warnings started about Charlotte and north
Speaker 8: and west of that for tropical storm conditions. So officially
Speaker 8: Winston Salem, Greensboro Rally not in the watches are warnings,
Speaker 8: but that doesn't mean we may not see that change
Speaker 8: or see substantial chances of flooding and severe weather, especially
Speaker 8: as we head through late tonight and tomorrow.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you very much. Yeah, Okay, it's fine, dude,
Speaker 1: it's fine. It just sounds, you know, sounded different from you.
Speaker 1: And you know how we audio guys are, I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you sound good now, so just whatever, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you sir. There you go, Racetagic from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel. All right, reminder, we're gonna get into
Speaker 1: the clash of politics and entertainment with Stephen Kent our
Speaker 1: NERD correspondent. That'll be coming up at eighth five. Also,
Speaker 1: let's talk about aerial advertising for just a moment. That
Speaker 1: story coming up next. Case O Day Radio program.
Speaker 6: Ross.
Speaker 1: You've been around enough years. You've probably been doing enough
Speaker 1: big events where uh oh you look up overhead and
Speaker 1: here comes the uh here comes the blimp, right, Goodyear
Speaker 1: blimp or the met Life one with the peanuts. You've
Speaker 1: seen those before, right, yeah, of course, and uh and
Speaker 1: so you might look up at it maybe if you're
Speaker 1: with your wife your kid, like, hey, look at that, right,
Speaker 1: and that's the extent of it. Well, you know, blimps
Speaker 1: are for advertising, so if you're good, you're a met life.
Speaker 1: You got to ask yourself, am I getting my money's worth? Well?
Speaker 1: What would you say? Is the most famous blimp you
Speaker 1: can think of? Uh?
Speaker 2: Probably the Good Year?
Speaker 1: Well really the most due the Hindesburg, the Hindenburg right,
Speaker 1: which required a disaster. So uh any who, so long
Speaker 1: story short? Uh, yesterday in Sapoulou? Was it in Brazil?
Speaker 1: Where you? Sapalo Brazil? A Uh, a blimp that was
Speaker 1: outfitted to promote one of the big soccer teams. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this. They're kind of into
Speaker 1: soccer down there. Rather than just flying over this neighborhood,
Speaker 1: which technically is a neighborhood where one of their rivals
Speaker 1: fans live, decided to slam the blimp into the neighborhood,
Speaker 1: not killing anyone amazingly, uh, not on board or on
Speaker 1: the ground, but uh, basically you know how big those
Speaker 1: things are. That's a that's several city blocks covered in
Speaker 1: a blimp.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: So they're just buzzing around out there. I don't know,
Speaker 1: somebody shot at the thing or what. That's why I
Speaker 1: wouldn't fly a blimp over certain places, because I know,
Speaker 1: I know idiots shoot it stuff you can't tell me.
Speaker 1: Some redneck or some gangster or you know whomever, at
Speaker 1: some point never thought what happens if I shoot at
Speaker 1: that and shot at those things. In fact, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's a thing they don't even talk about. So I
Speaker 1: don't know how this thing crashed in Brazil, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that they're converting to your team either, although
Speaker 1: that is aggressive. Remember this is the country where somebody
Speaker 1: smuggled in a full sized porcelain toilet to a stadium
Speaker 1: and then killed multiple people by throwing it onto the
Speaker 1: from the second level to the first level. They take
Speaker 1: the soccer seriously. So anyway, again, nobody nobody killed. I
Speaker 1: think the the pilot had some minor injuries there. All right,
Speaker 1: don't grab a quick call, Yes Donna, what's up?
Speaker 9: Good morning, Casey. Just how do you tell about a
Speaker 9: blimp because it kind of ties in what I have
Speaker 9: to talk about. I used to work from Monster dot
Speaker 9: Com and we had a blimp. And when I worked there,
Speaker 9: I had a nice desk calendar and on it it
Speaker 9: would have a word of a word of the day.
Speaker 9: So me and my favorite coworker we would play a
Speaker 9: little game where we would try to incorporate that word
Speaker 9: while talking to our other co workers throughout the day,
Speaker 9: and whoever got to use it the most would win.
Speaker 1: You know, you have to use it properly. This is
Speaker 1: how we end up with a presidential candidate using the
Speaker 1: word using.
Speaker 9: The word holistically. Well, it's either that or you know,
Speaker 9: her head is an empty vessel filling along in.
Speaker 5: The sea of Aphasia.
Speaker 9: You know, however, we do have a commerce secretary who
Speaker 9: is a master of language, who yesterday on MSMBC said
Speaker 9: Trump needs to be extinguished.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have that audio. We're gonna I'll go ahead
Speaker 1: and play that teased at and then I got distracted
Speaker 1: by the Diddy stuff here. In fact, Donna, thank you
Speaker 1: very much for the call. Let me let me hit
Speaker 1: this audio before we go to break, and then we
Speaker 1: chat with Stephen Kent coming up to do all right,
Speaker 1: So here's the audio from our commerce secretary. Donna's referred to.
Speaker 2: What he says is the opposite.
Speaker 3: It's just another lie, Like, how did we get here.
Speaker 3: Let's extinguish him for good. We have an answer. We
Speaker 3: have a remarkably talented candidate, who is sincere, who's pragmatic,
Speaker 3: who's open.
Speaker 5: Let's just get it.
Speaker 1: Done all right, thank you. And look, people are coming
Speaker 1: to me like, oh, you know, don't be on that
Speaker 1: trap where you you know, you acquiesced that this is
Speaker 1: the thing, and you're sounding like the moonbat's running around
Speaker 1: complaining about everything. I'm not. I don't. I fundamentally, I
Speaker 1: don't see anything wrong with saying that, because I'm an
Speaker 1: adult and I understand that. However, all of the people
Speaker 1: who keep saying this are the ones that say that
Speaker 1: you are literally trying to commit murder when you say
Speaker 1: these things. And then if we talk to our NERD
Speaker 1: correspondent Stephen Kent about anything makes you mad, that he
Speaker 1: can call in yell, but not now, because we're gonna
Speaker 1: chat with Steven. How you doing, Steven?
Speaker 5: I am well as always good to hear from you. KC.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you made Ross jealous this morning. You know that, right?
Speaker 5: Ross wakes up jealous every day. He envies my aura.
Speaker 1: You get to go hang out with Rob Schneider this
Speaker 1: weekend or something.
Speaker 5: Rob Schneider, Yeah, he's made a real comeback as a
Speaker 5: new sort of conservative dissident intellectual. So Rob Schneider, you
Speaker 5: can find him on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Speaker 1: So I was just looking at the line up here.
Speaker 1: Do you like going to these things? Man, I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm not. If I'm doing a radio row
Speaker 1: M that's one thing, right, And there's one we do
Speaker 1: annually up in DC, although they didn't do it this year.
Speaker 1: But but like you know, just going to the big
Speaker 1: conventions where you got three thousand speakers. I've done some
Speaker 1: in the past. I actually was on a panel up
Speaker 1: at Washington Hilton one time for Americans Prosperity, and I
Speaker 1: think I did two for them, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes it's it's it's just a real
Speaker 1: life digital echo chamber. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: So what are the value I want to talk about
Speaker 1: in the broader sense? What value do you find obviously
Speaker 1: in your work? But like that's what I feel, and
Speaker 1: I the is it productive for organizing? I mean, what
Speaker 1: would you say? Are you just going to go fan
Speaker 1: girl over Schneider and FK and Tyson Gabbert.
Speaker 5: I fangirl over no one. And I hate all celebrities,
Speaker 5: including political celebrities, but I do love to people watch.
Speaker 5: And so you know, this Rescue the Republic event being
Speaker 5: put on by doctor Brett Weinstein, headlined by RFK and
Speaker 5: Russell Brand, and I imagine Jordan Peterson and Charlie Perker
Speaker 5: showing up. You know, they're also being headlined by the
Speaker 5: band to skill It. I want to see who. I
Speaker 5: want to see who shows up to this thing. Casey crime.
Speaker 5: This is crime people watching.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so some seventy year old, some seven year
Speaker 1: old no offense, some seventy year old GOP woman sitting
Speaker 1: there in amash pit. I'm here for it. So you
Speaker 1: better take a video if that happens, man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and I will. And you know, these
Speaker 5: events are I think an interesting measure of how much
Speaker 5: the political scene has gotten turned upside down. I mean,
Speaker 5: the agenda for this rally that they're having on the
Speaker 5: mall is about vaccines, about fighting the war machine, about
Speaker 5: organic food. So this should be a lefty political rally
Speaker 5: from the year two thousand and three. But yet the
Speaker 5: entire lineup is you know, right wing figures and sort
Speaker 5: of left leaning liberal comedians who have jumped ship with
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party. It's just bizarro world. But this is
Speaker 5: the political realignment. There's a lot of people we're finding
Speaker 5: themselves on the right side of politics now because they
Speaker 5: were pushed forcefully out of the Democratic Party in the least,
Speaker 5: and I just think it's interesting to watch. But I
Speaker 5: also to get frustrated by these kinds of events because
Speaker 5: Brett Weinstein and the likes they act like this has
Speaker 5: never been done before. I hear them talk about this
Speaker 5: Rescue the Republic event. They're holding them the mall, how
Speaker 5: many the Glenn Beck's been doing this for years exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Glenn Beck had, Yeah, it's not new.
Speaker 1: I want to say something because it's interesting on that,
Speaker 1: because I think perception is that when you start talking
Speaker 1: about organic foods, oh, it's the hippie culture. But like,
Speaker 1: I think that's unfair, and I had I had a
Speaker 1: discussion with a sponsor we had on this on this
Speaker 1: show for years, right, and part of their job was
Speaker 1: selling solar panels, and I remember talking to our salesperson
Speaker 1: and initially the client was hesitant because they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: because that scene is hippie, dippy green energy. And I
Speaker 1: had to literally have this conversation with them. I grew
Speaker 1: up using solar panels. Solar panels keep our water wells
Speaker 1: open for our couch to drink. We have solar on
Speaker 1: our cabin is an alternative. The difference is is the
Speaker 1: government didn't mandate that we put the solar panels in.
Speaker 1: So the outright perception of the rejection of technology, which
Speaker 1: may not make sense for the totality of our energy
Speaker 1: needs but makes perfect sense for somebody who's got an
Speaker 1: off grid cabin is I feel I feel like sometimes
Speaker 1: we're too quick to put everything in one box, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, someone like Congressman Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky. You know,
Speaker 5: he lives off the grid, completely fueled by alternative energy sources,
Speaker 5: including solar. You would think he was some radical, you know,
Speaker 5: left wing hippie from two thousand and two, But you know,
Speaker 5: he's just a self sufficient Republican who doesn't trust the
Speaker 5: direction that we're going as a as a people, and
Speaker 5: that sort of leads you to go out there and
Speaker 5: be self sufficient. Panels and stuff like.
Speaker 1: That are all part of our Our cabin could run,
Speaker 1: could run for six months now. Granted we have giant
Speaker 1: propane tank that we keep filled. But like, but the
Speaker 1: whole point of that is, you know, it's just you
Speaker 1: never know and and is and so when you see that,
Speaker 1: like here's the only thing where it gets cringey. You
Speaker 1: ever see when Trump first came into office, and they
Speaker 1: were like they were doing like, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the preppers were now like Democrats, right, They're like building
Speaker 1: their Trump survival bunkers and all that. And what used
Speaker 1: to kill me is I saw like CNN and they
Speaker 1: go out and do stories and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: these two college professors which eat nothing but soy, right,
Speaker 1: they built their bunker like even their MRIs look bad.
Speaker 1: But like they also were anti gun, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're building a survival bunker. I feel like maybe if
Speaker 1: you think that that's a dystopic end times thing, you
Speaker 1: might consider at least a shotgun or something. But when
Speaker 1: it comes to you know, when it comes to the
Speaker 1: reasons that people might want to do that, whether it's
Speaker 1: just independence or in our case, a warmer place to
Speaker 1: sleep while we're hunting elk, like it's about the government
Speaker 1: versus not the government, which is why And we transition
Speaker 1: into this, I'm curious your thoughts. I got a whole
Speaker 1: stack of stories here. Now these aren't government things, but
Speaker 1: rather it is the power of the of commerce. And
Speaker 1: let's start with Ubasoft, and specifically the development of something
Speaker 1: we've talked about, which is the latest iteration of Assassin's
Speaker 1: Breed set in Japan, Beudal Japan. You're thinking samurai ninja stuff,
Speaker 1: let's go, and you kind of get that, but you
Speaker 1: also get a story that was faked by a college
Speaker 1: professor or at least a fiction, right, a fanfic piece
Speaker 1: of work that was then taken as historical gospel. And
Speaker 1: now you have a black samurai and all of Japan's
Speaker 1: upset they did. They took their spot away at the
Speaker 1: big Tokyo show, right, they're not even having the gup there.
Speaker 1: And yesterday Ubisoft issues a statement and in the statement
Speaker 1: says essentially, we favor no one. We're not trying to
Speaker 1: do anything. And the only reason they got this statement
Speaker 1: saying that, well, no, we're not woke, we're not injecting this.
Speaker 1: We want to be as broadly as possible is because
Speaker 1: essentially this the c suite folks are probably going to
Speaker 1: get ousted or at the very least potentially sued by
Speaker 1: shareholders over the decisions to do things like you know,
Speaker 1: like have been done with other games, and so do
Speaker 1: you think they don't realize that politicking is being included
Speaker 1: in there or is it the argument, Oh, it's not politics,
Speaker 1: it's human rights. Because I think that that infestation and
Speaker 1: the ability to recognize that you guys screwed up here
Speaker 1: and you could pivot away and to not take that
Speaker 1: opportunity is crazy to me. So do they know or
Speaker 1: they really that clueless because they're surrounded by the DEI stuff?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it has to be cluelessness caused by
Speaker 5: DEI are more typically ESG standards, so that means environmental
Speaker 5: social governance because this.
Speaker 1: Has to do real quick. I'm sorry to do and
Speaker 1: when when you say ESG. One of the things that's
Speaker 1: really important is there is an apparatus where companies that
Speaker 1: need float money and capital basically have to play this game,
Speaker 1: or have had to play this game to be able
Speaker 1: to do it. And companies who are not able to
Speaker 1: access those funds at appropriate rates could have potentially gone
Speaker 1: out of business. It's so insidious. I'm sorry, go right ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, I mean, and it is. It is insidious. It
Speaker 5: also confuses people's understanding of what is political and what
Speaker 5: is not. So when you have companies that are adopting
Speaker 5: ESG standards, and they're receiving outside money to adopt, you know,
Speaker 5: policies and viewpoints that advance social positive socially positive impacts. Well,
Speaker 5: who defines what is socially positive? So they look at
Speaker 5: this and they go, okay, well, then we need to
Speaker 5: have a story that features, you know, a black samurai
Speaker 5: from some random professors. But that's not what people want.
Speaker 5: I mean, just look at how Shogun, the TV series
Speaker 5: about Japanese samurais performed on FX, winning eighteen Emmys in
Speaker 5: the most recent awards cycle. An absolute blowout, and it
Speaker 5: was completely historically accurate and not a whiff of what
Speaker 5: you might call equity when it comes to casting. This
Speaker 5: was purely a Japanese show and no hamdhanding of anyone
Speaker 5: in there who didn't really belong in the middle of
Speaker 5: fourteenth century Japan. You know, it's the mindset of the
Speaker 5: Last Samurai where you have Tom Cruise in there. You've
Speaker 5: got to have a white samurai in order to have
Speaker 5: a story about Japan in this video game.
Speaker 1: The perspective. Here's the thing, this black quote unquote samurai did.
Speaker 1: This is a real individual, right, it was the romanticized
Speaker 1: role in what he did. Tom Cruise's character is a
Speaker 1: combination actual set of like that's a real dude. And
Speaker 1: then you get into the romance sizes the Portuguese.
Speaker 5: The Portuguese were in Japan. There were white people wandering
Speaker 5: in Japan.
Speaker 1: They were all wandering around. Let's be about it. Clear,
Speaker 1: they weren't wandering around with they You know, you couldn't
Speaker 1: go to Japan without the permission of the rulers there.
Speaker 1: They killed you on site during this No foreigners were
Speaker 1: allowed there. And and so when you when you're sitting
Speaker 1: there and you're watching that, I think that you still
Speaker 1: saw with with the Tom Cruise movie, even if you
Speaker 1: don't like some of the stuff that was added in there.
Speaker 1: And I'm here for it because I love history, you
Speaker 1: could tell that they then didn't not give a crap
Speaker 1: about the other stuff, do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: Like the other details they did a good job of.
Speaker 1: And like once you get away from the casting of
Speaker 1: the main character in here, because people are incense, they're
Speaker 1: chewing it apart. Like I see Japanese posters pointing out
Speaker 1: that the rice wouldn't be blowing around because it's how
Speaker 1: we paid our taxes, and those trees would have been
Speaker 1: in bloom and and and then I see people react
Speaker 1: to it, to criticism like the where is this Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do nine different things here. I've seen
Speaker 1: them react to criticism like the founder of the Dragon
Speaker 1: Age series. What is this guy's name here, flipping back
Speaker 1: and forth, David Gator? Right, So, David Gator, the franchise
Speaker 1: creator of Dragon Age, which may be a little too
Speaker 1: inside baseball for some people, but it's a big deal,
Speaker 1: and it's a big ip who is out there and
Speaker 1: he's sending tweets out literally yesterday that say, apparently the
Speaker 1: usual suspects are upset at how woke the new Dragon
Speaker 1: Age is an apparent sudden and unexpected development in the
Speaker 1: series efing tourists. He called him effing tourists. And this
Speaker 1: is over a lot of it's over the character creator
Speaker 1: where you can literally have like top surgical scars for
Speaker 1: your chest and you can give your female character a bulge,
Speaker 1: but you can't give her a proportionate cup size or
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, right, so wow, this dude. How many
Speaker 1: people are their financial livelihoods are attached to this dude's
Speaker 1: franchise and rather than just shutting up and do it.
Speaker 1: He called people quote effing tourists and told them, we
Speaker 1: don't need you. This is just what happened to the
Speaker 1: acolyte with the actress and others. How do you see?
Speaker 5: This is what happens when you loathe the market incentives
Speaker 5: of capitalism. You don't appreciate consumers, You take them for granted.
Speaker 5: You think that people have to eat the gruel because
Speaker 5: you are cooking and serving it. You don't care about
Speaker 5: what people want. And you know that goes right over
Speaker 5: to Ubisoft's kind of other game, which was well reviewed
Speaker 5: but performed pretty poorly on sales. Star Wars Outlaws. You know,
Speaker 5: Star Wars fans have roundly rejected and I really don't
Speaker 5: think it's about, you know, the female lead necessarily, but
Speaker 5: you know, the last Star Wars bology starring ray Or
Speaker 5: Daisy Ridley was not great. It was not well received,
Speaker 5: and their follow up to that is to then serve
Speaker 5: Star Wars fans another female lead story in Star Wars
Speaker 5: Outlaws and not acknowledge the fact that your majority group
Speaker 5: of gamers are probably going to be middle aged or
Speaker 5: you know, twenty something year old males, and they probably
Speaker 5: do want to play with a han solo like character
Speaker 5: and not be forced to play with you know, twenty
Speaker 5: something year old lady. That's just a fact of being
Speaker 5: a video gamer. Red Dead Redemption would have suffered in
Speaker 5: the very same way if you didn't have this kind
Speaker 5: of character that you did to appeal to the majority
Speaker 5: of the gamer base. You don't care about what consumers want.
Speaker 1: You mean, somebody that looks like they appropriately would you know,
Speaker 1: fit in around the turn of the nineteenth start.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you think, when you think about it, yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean that's absolutely the case. And if you want
Speaker 5: to you know, embrace diversity or you know, people being
Speaker 5: able to to have a character that looks like them,
Speaker 5: you create a game in which they can design their
Speaker 5: own character on the front end of the game. That's
Speaker 5: the best way to do it. But they don't want
Speaker 5: to do that because they believe the consumer will make
Speaker 5: wrong decisions play with a character they don't want.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you see her quote? Since you brought Daisy
Speaker 1: Ridley up again? No, responding to criticism of her character
Speaker 1: in Star Wars, she said, let's see here, I can't
Speaker 1: let's see no attention. I don't pay any attention to
Speaker 1: negative criticism of the character. I cannot change the way
Speaker 1: that men see women. Again, this is the Ghostbusters thing again.
Speaker 1: If she's determined that the only reason anyone was critical
Speaker 1: not even just of her, but rather the character. Right,
Speaker 1: she's an actress. She's going to do what she's paid
Speaker 1: to do. So the blame lies with the developers there
Speaker 1: and the producers. But if you think the only reason
Speaker 1: people didn't like it is because of that, you're never
Speaker 1: going to change your mind on this stuff, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna end up. Would we found out with a four
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar flush down the toilet, which Sony just
Speaker 1: did with that game, complaining about toxic positivity, which is
Speaker 1: a new phrase. I had to learn this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, talk to positivity where you are not allowed to
Speaker 5: dissent or speak out against the thing due to a
Speaker 5: culture of fear. You know. This is this is what
Speaker 5: communism gets. Ye, I'm sorry. That's what all these people
Speaker 5: are stewing in inside of these companies and they don't
Speaker 5: know how to break out of it, and it ends
Speaker 5: up being financial boondoggles, you know. And I do want
Speaker 5: to just put out one note about.
Speaker 1: Daisy thirty seconds, but it's a Daisy.
Speaker 5: Ridley by and large has handled this kind of stuff
Speaker 5: the right way. She's sort of a Hillary Clinton feminist.
Speaker 5: She says, you know, men, men don't want to see
Speaker 5: women in these roles. However, I have been very well received,
Speaker 5: and that's true. A lot of people love her and
Speaker 5: she does focus on the positives.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, it's just if that's your only line of thinking.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is for some. But if you think it's
Speaker 1: only then your cat. You're painting people who might, you know,
Speaker 1: have a legitimate beef about something they didn't like. But
Speaker 1: we'll get into it another day. Hey, if Ryan Lizon
Speaker 1: or if Ke get near each other photo that okay,
Speaker 1: that's your thing, all right, thank you.
Speaker 5: Still, I'll get a selfie for you.
Speaker 1: Kamloop City council and city staff have been assailed by trolls. Man,
Speaker 1: it's it's become apparently a thing for folks to show
Speaker 1: up or in this case, virtually show up for the
Speaker 1: public comments session and just start playing porn movies. And
Speaker 1: it keeps happening and it doesn't look like very exciting
Speaker 1: stuff either. But yeah, that's Canada whatever. Yes, and now
Speaker 1: the city is wrestling with the fact that they have
Speaker 1: a under provincial in Canada, under the provincial regulations there.
Speaker 1: They have an obligation to hold this event and they
Speaker 1: have to make it available for people who can't get there.
Speaker 1: So what do you do, I don't know, maybe not
Speaker 1: have video. You know, you can do that virtually with
Speaker 1: an avatar, like you know when when we got to
Speaker 1: jump on a teams meeting. Half the time, you know,
Speaker 1: Ross has his own little savor logo. Everyone else does.
Speaker 1: It's a fifty to fifty shot whether I see him,
Speaker 1: same with me. I don't know if I'm turning my
Speaker 1: camera on. So, yeah, you want people to stop playing
Speaker 1: a porn in the middle of your meeting over and
Speaker 1: over because they're trolls and now Reddit's after you. That's
Speaker 1: how you go about that, all right, I'm helping. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is crazy, all right. So you know, it's fire
Speaker 1: season kind of on the tail end of it, but
Speaker 1: it's fire season, which is a big deal in North
Speaker 1: Carolina sometimes, but out west every year they wildfires. Are
Speaker 1: a lot of fires, man a lot of fires, and
Speaker 1: there it's very easy for them to grow pretty big,
Speaker 1: you know, because especially when you get our Colorado Wyoming
Speaker 1: places like that large. What they're burning is is forest there.
Speaker 1: But like you keep an eye on it and you
Speaker 1: just you go with what you know. The closest I
Speaker 1: ever been to a fire was I happened to be
Speaker 1: in Yellowstone when part of that was going on with
Speaker 1: my uncle in eighty eight. Then I had to leave.
Speaker 1: My grandparents came and got me as that thing was breaking.
Speaker 1: And I remember the fire line burning up to Cook City,
Speaker 1: which is just across the northeast entrance to Montana, literally
Speaker 1: the back of the houses, and I, you know, even
Speaker 1: though I had grown up around fires out west, but
Speaker 1: it's always interesting how they happen, and I had not
Speaker 1: heard this one. So in Colorado, the big problem fire
Speaker 1: there is the Bucktail Fire, largest fire in the state
Speaker 1: of Colorado this year, which is saying some there's lots
Speaker 1: of fires and let's see now, thankfully nobody's been killed
Speaker 1: and they really haven't had to evacuate much, but it
Speaker 1: is burning up a chunk of property. Well, they finally
Speaker 1: figured out how it started and have issued in a restaurant.
Speaker 1: Public officials would like you to know you can't go
Speaker 1: in the national forest and build funeral pires and burn
Speaker 1: your loved ones in the middle of a forest, or
Speaker 1: your beloved pets, which in this case the guy wanted
Speaker 1: to build one of those weird vikings or I gus
Speaker 1: and you know which you see in the movies around
Speaker 1: the funeral pyrates. So he built one and then to
Speaker 1: cremate his dog. And it had something to do with
Speaker 1: some wicked thing. I don't know, but that's how the
Speaker 1: fire started a funeral pyres. So uh, but I just
Speaker 1: found out you're not allowed to do that on your
Speaker 1: property with people, but you can do it with some
Speaker 1: pets in certain places. But yeah, that's he must have
Speaker 1: loved that dog man. Unfortunately, they say, as he was
Speaker 1: putting the dog in the pit with the wood, he
Speaker 1: had sprayed the dog with some sort of accelerant and
Speaker 1: it quickly Yeah, of control. I don't think you got
Speaker 1: to pour gas on who you're burning there, just get
Speaker 1: the fire hot enough. So anyway, and then they say,
Speaker 1: if you are going to do a few some tips
Speaker 1: for your funeral ROJ, you're doing a funeral pyre at
Speaker 1: all time you're doing any funerals there, you want to
Speaker 1: make sure that you're at least one hundred yards from trees.
Speaker 1: And if the wind is it's winny that day, you
Speaker 1: should not have a funeral pyre. But otherwise burn away
Speaker 1: with your pets there. Sorry, just some of the just weird. Man,
Speaker 1: it's colorade. There's a lot of weirdos out there, which
Speaker 1: is entertaining for much of it. All Right, So I
Speaker 1: mentioned one of the things I really enjoy is watching
Speaker 1: every single one of these reporters who puts together like
Speaker 1: a focus group or a panel, and you can tell
Speaker 1: they're trying to stack the deck. They're like, ah, here's
Speaker 1: a group of undecided voters. I'll look at that. They're
Speaker 1: all black. Let's hear what they think of the presidential election.
Speaker 1: And then you know, Donni, Donnie d Bag, they're the reporter.
Speaker 1: He starts asking him questions and like they start saying
Speaker 1: things like I heard Commona wasn't black, and before you know,
Speaker 1: you get that amazing audio. This is kind of like that.
Speaker 1: They had to think this is what was going to
Speaker 1: This was gonna be easy. You're gonna go to the
Speaker 1: rust belt, You're gonna get the union guys there. Remember
Speaker 1: the Teamsters union didn't even endorse anyone for president, not
Speaker 1: because there are people didn't vote. They did, and the
Speaker 1: Teamsters overwhelmingly said that they support Trump. The leadership of
Speaker 1: the Teamsters like many of these big unions give zero
Speaker 1: craps what the rank and file think. So rather than
Speaker 1: doing what they normally do and say the majority of
Speaker 1: our members want this, they just say, yeah, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna endorse anyone. Now, I don't know why you would
Speaker 1: stick with those people what is essentially a criminal organization
Speaker 1: historically in many ways, but that's beyond that's that's beside me.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's who they're going to go talk to.
Speaker 1: Let's see what they think. And clearly it's not going
Speaker 1: how MSNBC thought it was going to go.
Speaker 2: You talk a little bit more about that?
Speaker 8: What what mostly just immigration?
Speaker 1: Can you talk a little.
Speaker 2: Bit more about that? What what about immigration is have
Speaker 2: you been paying attention to There.
Speaker 10: Are thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants come across the
Speaker 10: border every day and the vice president has done minimal
Speaker 10: work to fix that based on what I've seen, so
Speaker 10: I'd like that.
Speaker 1: To change, okay, And and there was a lot of that,
Speaker 1: But how did they think of I mean, I understand
Speaker 1: how they think it was going to go, but like logically,
Speaker 1: you're talking to a group of individuals and this is
Speaker 1: not me detracting, by the way, from team stirs or
Speaker 1: drivers or folks that are doing blue collar jobs. But
Speaker 1: you're you're looking at jobs because not you know, they
Speaker 1: don't necessarily require a degree. Yeah, the people have them
Speaker 1: now are going to be a little suss of others
Speaker 1: who don't, who also seem to be getting a giant
Speaker 1: helping hand because now you're in the world of human nature.
Speaker 1: And for some reason, his reporters think the union ties
Speaker 1: that binder are going to be stronger than self preservation.
Speaker 1: If they had one hundred thousand people that did descended
Speaker 1: upon the state of or one hundred and forty thousand
Speaker 1: I think it was a number in New York, descended
Speaker 1: upon the state of North Carolina, and they were all
Speaker 1: talk radio hosts. That's going I'm going to have some
Speaker 1: thoughts and yet is that selfish? Yeah?
Speaker 10: So what.
Speaker 3: So what.
Speaker 1: I could be selfish in this case. It's the reverse
Speaker 1: of the government doing it. They're letting it happen. Man. Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I do enjoy watching those eight forty three raced
Speaker 1: agic from the deepest basement hole we got bunker. We're
Speaker 1: harding us with his weird new mic. What's up man?
Speaker 1: Not much yet, at least locally.
Speaker 5: Oh, does it?
Speaker 8: You know, you know, I only had to move the
Speaker 8: butt the knob like a notch. I mean, these old
Speaker 8: things said the technical No, no, it's not technical, it's
Speaker 8: what I call I moved it from one to one
Speaker 8: and a half on the shore.
Speaker 1: So that changed things up.
Speaker 8: Who knows that whatever is supposed to be the better equipment, right, Yeah,
Speaker 8: I got a twenty dollars microphone stuck into a PC
Speaker 8: back at home and it sounds better.
Speaker 1: Imagine that, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8: Gotta take a breath, try to sort everything out because
Speaker 8: they'll be varying conditions across the area triangle east. Less impacts,
Speaker 8: but still some that you know, could damage lives or
Speaker 8: could damage property and you know, threaten us with power
Speaker 8: outages and threatened lives too, especially if you get the
Speaker 8: tornado element of this later tonight and into tomorrow morning.
Speaker 8: You know, try it. Already seeing some moderate rain, some
Speaker 8: heavier range just to the west of Winston Salem in
Speaker 8: to Yatkin County and points south and west of that,
Speaker 8: and that rains continuing with something warnings and then west
Speaker 8: of that is going to be the worst of what
Speaker 8: we get from not only the rain right now ahead
Speaker 8: of Helene, also when Helene finally gets here, that's gonna
Speaker 8: be late tonight tomorrow. So this is all not Helen,
Speaker 8: what we've seen so far, and they've really been getting pounded.
Speaker 8: West of a line let's just say, is that seventy seven, Yeah,
Speaker 8: Interstate seventy seven in and around that and points west,
Speaker 8: and that's where the tropical storm warnings are and the
Speaker 8: flood watches. So Yatkin down toward down into Mecklenburg County
Speaker 8: not in the floodwatch, but east of that there still
Speaker 8: could be heavy rainfall and two to four, maybe up
Speaker 8: to six inches try it points west more than that,
Speaker 8: double digit totals catastrophic flooding for some into the mountains,
Speaker 8: especially triangle one to three, maybe some isolated totals that'd
Speaker 8: be higher. I really do think there will be a
Speaker 8: flood risk for everybody, But again as you go from
Speaker 8: east to west, it goes higher. And then overnight tonight
Speaker 8: into tomorrow morning, the severe weather risk and the stronger
Speaker 8: winds as some of the winds could get to tropical
Speaker 8: storm force plus and some of the bands that come
Speaker 8: through as the main logoes to the west of US.
Speaker 8: Looks like that's probably going to be you know, taking
Speaker 8: a look at the latest guidance that's going to be
Speaker 8: sometime tomorrow morning before things start tapering off tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 8: So really from this point forward, everybody should be ready
Speaker 8: not only for the flooding and severe weather, also for
Speaker 8: some scattered power outages, but most of that with the
Speaker 8: power outages and the stronger winds coming as we head
Speaker 8: on through late tonight and early tomorrow morning. So gonna
Speaker 8: be a mess, Casey, and already for some especially west
Speaker 8: of US and west of the Triad, it already is.
Speaker 1: So to talk to my buddy and lives on the
Speaker 1: Bay down in Tampa there. I remember he said video
Speaker 1: that one storm and that hitead on and it sewed
Speaker 1: all the water getting sucked out in front of his house.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna, you know, not be there? And he's like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a party.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 8: There may be some good news for Tallahassee. There's metatrend.
Speaker 8: They did adjust the track a little bit further. Resource
Speaker 8: fits the center just about on top of Tallahassee. Before
Speaker 8: it was to their west and would really put them
Speaker 8: in the unfavorable quadrant. But some of the it's been
Speaker 8: suggesting maybe a little bit further west, and if that
Speaker 8: does happen in tallahasse to can get on the west
Speaker 8: side of the low or the hurricane, they may fare
Speaker 8: better than points to the east of them, which could
Speaker 8: mean worse conditions from the big bended down toward Tampa Bay.
Speaker 8: So a lot to sort out. They do change the
Speaker 8: forecast track, it would be minimal, but could have big
Speaker 8: impacts even from county to county in the Panhandle. But
Speaker 8: still Fork has to be a Cat three with one
Speaker 8: fifteen maximum sustained winds. Again, the intensities could fluctuate, but
Speaker 8: even if it's a strong Cat three or a low
Speaker 8: end Cat four, don't let that really change your mind.
Speaker 8: What the impacts are going to be really negligible in
Speaker 8: terms of what the difference is between you know, the
Speaker 8: wind and the surge. Those values won't change much. Now
Speaker 8: if you go to Cat five and I'm not saying
Speaker 8: we're going to but you know, then you know you're
Speaker 8: talking about a different ballwax. But conversely, I mean it
Speaker 8: may we can. It doesn't look like if anything is
Speaker 8: going to hold its own or maybe get stronger.
Speaker 1: Okay, And if it gets bored, go to Miami and
Speaker 1: get Nitty's house because that thing gets strubbed. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, gott to go, thank you sor right man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: imagine the hurricane to say go still not enough man,
Speaker 1: still ste Anyway, we got to take a break. Come
Speaker 1: back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang on with Jeff Bellinger, who,
Speaker 1: as I understand, not named in the Adams indictment. How
Speaker 1: you doing, Jeff? What's up?
Speaker 2: Unindicted?
Speaker 1: Unindicted?
Speaker 11: Broadcast near The federal numbers machine cranked up this morning, Casey.
Speaker 1: Starting with the labor market.
Speaker 11: New claims for unemployment benefits fell by four thousand to
Speaker 11: two hundred and eighteen thousand last week. The numbers were
Speaker 11: better than expected, but demand for big ticket manufactured products
Speaker 11: was down.
Speaker 1: Last month.
Speaker 11: Orders for durable goods fell two point six percent. In August,
Speaker 11: economists were looking for no change, and the government took
Speaker 11: one last look at how the economy performed in the
Speaker 11: second quarter. No change from the prior estimate that the
Speaker 11: gross domestic product expanded at a three percent annual rate.
Speaker 11: Stock market futures look very good this morning. S and
Speaker 11: P futures OR up forty seven, Nasdaq futures OR up
Speaker 11: three hundred and twenty now futures or up one hundred ninety.
Speaker 11: Looks like the texts are going to lead an early.
Speaker 1: Rally on Wall Street.
Speaker 11: After Micron Technology posted very excellent second quarter results, there's
Speaker 11: mixed news in the latest home affordability report from ADAM.
Speaker 11: Single family homes and condos remained less affordable than their
Speaker 11: historical averages over the summer, but third quarter affordability was
Speaker 11: up slightly from the second quarter. ADAM says the home
Speaker 11: price spike eased and mortgage rates ticked down.
Speaker 1: And this is probably a case not news.
Speaker 11: For anyone who works in the restaurant industry, but Americans
Speaker 11: have become less generous when it comes to tipping. Pop
Speaker 11: Menu says the number of diners who tip at least
Speaker 11: twenty percent is declining, and there's been an increase in
Speaker 11: the number of customers who tip less than ten percent.
Speaker 11: This trend reflecting tighter household budgets and general tipping fatigue.
Speaker 1: Casey, they did it to themselves. Do you know there's
Speaker 1: a gas station where you don't even interact with people.
Speaker 1: You type in your food orders. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you have I guess wah wah up around you or whatnot? Yes,
Speaker 1: we do and they have a tip shark. Yes, you
Speaker 1: don't see anybody. I don't even know the I don't
Speaker 1: know there's people back there. I know the food comes out,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. And so where's that money go? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fatigue? All right? All right, thank you, Jeff, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Okay, have a good day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. I hate it when I do this.
Speaker 1: I have seen this story is gonna be great. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get into this tomorrow. But I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: it is. I I saw the headline this morning and
Speaker 1: I emailed it myself, and I just got distracted with
Speaker 1: the show today. So check this out. Rossetts and Carrie
Speaker 1: roam where the spray paint gangs and the rabbit fox
Speaker 1: room and so anyway, so there's a lot of intricate
Speaker 1: detail here, which I'll get into tomorrow. But the gist
Speaker 1: is this, how many of you have ever lived in
Speaker 1: a home that has a walking path through it and
Speaker 1: as a result, has an easement or just have an easement? Right?
Speaker 1: I know a lot about I know a lot a
Speaker 1: lot about eastments because it's a big deal from an
Speaker 1: agricultural perspective. You know, Montana doesn't have them. Did you know,
Speaker 1: in the middle of Glacier National Park, a federal park,
Speaker 1: there are parcels of private land that the owners can
Speaker 1: they can access but only on foot because they just
Speaker 1: went no, eas we're gonna We're gonna put a national
Speaker 1: park around you. That's a fun fact. You should look
Speaker 1: that up. So anyway, so this guy's got a house
Speaker 1: and it's got a walking path, as so many communities do,
Speaker 1: especially in and around Kerry. Probably walk anywhere from anywhere
Speaker 1: between Kerry and Morrisville all you wanted, and uh it
Speaker 1: happens to go along a sewer easement that is his
Speaker 1: property line, which is not unusual. There is a complexity
Speaker 1: here because there's an h o A. But we'll get
Speaker 1: into more of that tomorrow. But here's what's amazing. So
Speaker 1: I've lived I've lived in a house that was literally
Speaker 1: on a walking path. It's a thing you gotta deal with,
Speaker 1: right Or if you if you have a beach house
Speaker 1: and there happens to be public access, that's that's just
Speaker 1: how it works. Ross, does your timeshare have public access
Speaker 1: next to it? Or do not let the pores?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay, good, yeah, right, there's no Ross isn't dealing with
Speaker 1: the porest, but some of you have to.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And so anyway, this dude literally got a jackhammer and
Speaker 1: chiseled up the walking path and put like cinder blockades
Speaker 1: across it. And as you can imagine, the neighbors in
Speaker 1: the h o wa to set not as much as
Speaker 1: the city because again I get into it. Why it's
Speaker 1: on the plat. They have the copy of the plat here.
Speaker 1: It clearly shows the easeman. How do you live there?
Speaker 1: One day? And just you know, oh, those morning joggers
Speaker 1: come through here every day. I'll show them. You have
Speaker 1: to go get a jackhammer. Most people I don't have.
Speaker 1: I would have to borrow or rent a jackammer, which
Speaker 1: you can do
