Speaker 1: Eight oh five, We're gonna chat with Pete Calender. Uh Ross,
Speaker 1: you remember last Friday when Pete got all worked up and
Speaker 1: rightfully so I never really got into it, but Pete
Speaker 1: was right when COVID started the radio station that he
Speaker 1: worked for, it literally had layoffs and they laid him
Speaker 1: off and it was a really tough time and it
Speaker 1: was one of the reasons I want to have Pete on.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I like the guy, but like you know,
Speaker 1: you want to protect people in the business that you
Speaker 1: think are good at what they do. And do you
Speaker 1: remember how angry I've never heard Pete really angry about anything,
Speaker 1: but he was so angry about the PPP fraud, the
Speaker 1: COVID fraud that was going on out there.
Speaker 2: Remember that, yep.
Speaker 1: Because he was like, I was too dumb to commit fraud,
Speaker 1: right and uh no, no, I'm kidding, like he didn't,
Speaker 1: because that's what decent people do. I got like nine
Speaker 1: other stories this morning, so I think I'm going to
Speaker 1: touch a nerve with him just a little. But the
Speaker 1: level of fraud and fraud stories that hit the news
Speaker 1: yesterday is in saying including and I had to read
Speaker 1: this story several times because I'm like, that can't be true.
Speaker 1: That's that that that's way too.
Speaker 3: High a number. This chick who worked for the USDA
Speaker 3: and was committing food stamp fraud allegedly, it's like thirty
Speaker 3: six million dollars. How do you not think you're gonna
Speaker 3: get caught?
Speaker 1: And the answer is probably because people don't usually, That's
Speaker 1: what we're finding out. The reason you think you could
Speaker 1: commit allegedly thirty six million dollars in food stamp fraud?
Speaker 3: I mean, what must your lifestyle look like to the
Speaker 3: people around you? What must it look look?
Speaker 1: Look, if Ross came in with a new Bugatti every day,
Speaker 1: I would have some questions. Now, I'm sure he would
Speaker 1: come across the bugattis you know, naturally probably fine him
Speaker 1: or whatever. But like, you got thirty six million dollars
Speaker 1: in fraud you're alleged to have commit and you're like
Speaker 1: a middle manager at for food stamp benefits a USDA.
Speaker 1: How do you think you're not gonna get caught?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Unless you're like hiding the money and like some sort
Speaker 2: of Wolter White like storage unit, you know, and just
Speaker 2: but you're saying so they were like showing off the money, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you read some of the stories, apparently she
Speaker 1: got herself a fat pad. Some nice cars was going
Speaker 1: on all these vacations.
Speaker 2: So like a Bugatti being pulled by like a horse
Speaker 2: and carriage.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to be classy. Yes, wait,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you've never You've never done a Bugatti carriage?
Speaker 2: Not yet?
Speaker 3: Oh wows yeah, okay, all right, well maybe we'll get
Speaker 3: there one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Hey, I got a question too. How many graduation ceremonies
Speaker 1: have you been to?
Speaker 5: For Lincoln?
Speaker 2: I remember there was like a kindergarten one. If there
Speaker 2: was a elementary school one.
Speaker 1: Does he transitioned schools in what like fifth grade or something?
Speaker 2: If there was one, it wasn't like big enough to
Speaker 2: register a memory. There's no real memory there, but I
Speaker 2: do remember the kindergarten one.
Speaker 3: How many of the other parents did you fight?
Speaker 1: And you can average this number like you can be
Speaker 1: like per graduation ceremony, I expect you to remember the
Speaker 1: whole number. How many parents did you? Did you fight
Speaker 1: violently at the ceremony?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a little different. So whenever it comes to
Speaker 2: like a school function or a birthday or anything like this,
Speaker 2: My first thing I do is I fight one of
Speaker 2: the parents. It's what I do.
Speaker 3: Do you have if you have one, you hone in
Speaker 3: on or just randish like proximity or proximity.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's sort of like prison.
Speaker 1: Well, no prison, because prison you want to seek out
Speaker 1: the biggest other parent.
Speaker 2: I thought that was also proximity.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so you sit by, Okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure this out because apparently six
Speaker 1: of you insane people decided to fight each other at
Speaker 1: a kindergarten graduation yesterday while your kids scream stop stop, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, don't you want your kids to root
Speaker 1: for you? That's that's a parenting feel right there. When
Speaker 1: you're beating the crap out of all the other parents
Speaker 1: at the graduation ceremony in your kindergarten, it's like, oh mommy,
Speaker 1: stop and is crying and stuff like are they even
Speaker 1: on team?
Speaker 3: Whatever your last name is?
Speaker 1: I don't think so a kindergarten graduation to send it
Speaker 1: into madness when a large brawl broke out between parents,
Speaker 1: forcing school officials to quote scold the unacceptable behavior that
Speaker 1: is such language that you use with a kid, by
Speaker 1: the way, and they're kind of locked into it because
Speaker 1: they're all kindergarten teachers and administrators like this accept this
Speaker 1: behavior is unacceptable. I don't know, man, I'd use a
Speaker 1: stronger word. Several adults are punches and there's a couple
Speaker 1: of good haymakers here.
Speaker 3: Man. One of them connects, by the way, so I
Speaker 3: think that dude won.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: Several parents are punches at each other in the hallway
Speaker 1: at Falk Elementary on Wednesdays.
Speaker 3: This is in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: By the way, multiple men and women were at the
Speaker 1: center of the melee plowing through the school.
Speaker 3: Is other pairs.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so it was a rolling brawl. Ah okay,
Speaker 1: it was like a Survivor series thing. I think, which
Speaker 1: classroom do you think would be most advantageous to roll
Speaker 1: into via fight for the things you could use to
Speaker 1: fight with?
Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm asking?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the obvious go to would be like
Speaker 2: the gym or something where they still.
Speaker 3: Right, you got the rope there, you got all that.
Speaker 3: I mean, chemistry lab.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say that could be good,
Speaker 2: but I mean you've got what you say. It was kindergarten,
Speaker 2: so they probably don't have a chemistry class. Well, it's
Speaker 2: an elementary school, so I'm sure they have you know,
Speaker 2: so they're not going to have that.
Speaker 3: Oh do they not have those in elementary?
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's been a while, all right, So yeah,
Speaker 1: the gym gym would be a good one.
Speaker 2: Parents with that or could be good. You could use
Speaker 2: the paint mm hmm.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 1: I just like the chemistry because you can blind the
Speaker 1: other parent, like it's an ascid attack and Middle East, right,
Speaker 1: so you got that going for you. But you're right,
Speaker 1: they probably don't have one. So anyway, they basically fought
Speaker 1: through the hallway. Now, once you've defeated a parent, can
Speaker 1: you stuff them in a locker? Like it's the old
Speaker 1: you know? Because is this are nostalgia when you go
Speaker 1: back to school, right, you're the member Berry's right, like,
Speaker 1: oh I remember being a kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah once again. It's not really like that anymore though,
Speaker 2: and it'sool, so there's no lockers. There might be a cubby.
Speaker 3: Well who you want to talk about winning? Right? Do
Speaker 3: you get a whole other parent into a cubby?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure honestly what the locker situation is, especially
Speaker 2: like a high school anymore, Linco. It's not in high
Speaker 2: school yet. Yeah, but I don't know what it's like anymore,
Speaker 2: because back in our day used to have like a
Speaker 2: big old locker because you had tons of books you
Speaker 2: had to bring around.
Speaker 3: Well, how like is how how many grades has meant?
Speaker 1: It's because the middle school in the elementary school, Clear
Speaker 1: Creek Elementary that I went to in Buffalo, Wyoming went
Speaker 1: up to.
Speaker 3: Sixth grade.
Speaker 2: No, typically it's six seven. In high school's nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then middle school was just seven and eight
Speaker 1: for us. And then obviously he went into high school.
Speaker 1: So what about cafeteria trays? Those might be helpful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean half the kids are on azempic now, so.
Speaker 3: Are they the kids?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, oh you think in Hollywood there's not some kid
Speaker 3: on those? Yeah, there definitely are, yes, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: But back in our day you used to have like
Speaker 2: a books and tons of book bags and you would
Speaker 2: like to throw your back out with your huge book bag.
Speaker 2: And now you have your tamlets or whatever. So I'm
Speaker 2: not sure what the what the locker situation is in
Speaker 2: high school anymore. If they have hitting somebody.
Speaker 1: With a chromebook doesn't have the same appeal as smashing
Speaker 1: them in the face with like a big old American
Speaker 1: history book.
Speaker 3: So I would agree with you there, all right, you
Speaker 3: know art.
Speaker 2: This is uh, it's like the it's it's it's my
Speaker 2: day sort of thing where you have all these parents
Speaker 2: and they're super focused on their kid and it's their
Speaker 2: kids day, and they can't see be on themselves, and
Speaker 2: they're very self centered and selfish, and whenever they see
Speaker 2: something that's like, oh, it's an affront to my kid
Speaker 2: or it's not fair to my kid, they fly off
Speaker 2: the handle. It's so stupid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sadly, I looked at two different versions of this
Speaker 1: story and they do not have what started it. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming some parent got in another parent's way, was taking
Speaker 1: photos or.
Speaker 2: Something, and they see it as like a slight because
Speaker 2: they don't they can't see beyond themselves, like this is
Speaker 2: my day, not your day, even though you have a
Speaker 2: kid here went to the to the school with my
Speaker 2: you know, the schoolmates or classmates. It's so dumb.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at some of the pictures here. What
Speaker 1: I like, too, is nobody in this in the video here.
Speaker 1: It seems to be sexist. Right, there's there's pure equality
Speaker 1: because this one dude's haymakering a woman and two women
Speaker 1: are punching this dude in the crotch. So right, you know, everybody,
Speaker 1: everybody's like dah, we're you know, gender equality. And that's
Speaker 1: important because you want the kids to witness that, right.
Speaker 1: You want the kids to see that mommy or daddy
Speaker 1: or not like bigots like, oh, only men can punch
Speaker 1: men at the kindergarten ceremony. No, no, no, there's none
Speaker 1: of that. Everybody's fighting everybody, let's see here. Superintendent Eric
Speaker 1: Foyster issued a warning to parents that their time was up.
Speaker 1: I just can't get over the kids not rooting for
Speaker 1: their parents. By the way, Uh, the one mom her
Speaker 1: hoots came out because she's wearing a stripper shirt.
Speaker 3: Is that what you wear to a kindergarten graduation? I
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know, not been to many of these.
Speaker 2: I will say like it was different for Lincoln's, and
Speaker 2: typically the school stuff tends to be different with special
Speaker 2: needs or autistic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got very small class size, smaller.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're just hoping that your kid doesn't have
Speaker 2: a meltdown. And you tell yeah, you tend to be
Speaker 2: more thoughtful of the other parents who are going through
Speaker 2: a similar situation. It's completely different.
Speaker 3: But is there a couple you and Markie would like
Speaker 3: to fight? You don't have to say who they are?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: OK? Yeah, because I.
Speaker 1: Feel like you have to have an arch nemesis too, right,
Speaker 1: like something clearly something triggered this, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was pre existing or what, but let's see.
Speaker 1: The superintendent pointed out, the adults are a poor role
Speaker 1: model for their kids. Well, the ones who lost are right,
Speaker 1: if you're the winning parents, what if you just taught
Speaker 1: your kid hard work pays off. So being an absolute
Speaker 1: piece of garbage, but one that's good at fighting, you know,
Speaker 1: eventually could protect you. Do they even get the ceremony?
Speaker 1: And what do you do at that point? Do you
Speaker 1: have to you have to rehold the ceremony?
Speaker 3: Right? You got a hall? The kids back in there
Speaker 3: because that's their day and you just made it your day.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: Six in total, six adults have been permanently banned from
Speaker 1: the school. We other kid just graduated, so what do
Speaker 1: they care? Citing these zero tolerance policy? Apparently that five too.
Speaker 2: If it's kindergarten, they will be going back to that school,
Speaker 2: right because it's kid But you got.
Speaker 1: A transfer that in all seriousness, right, yeah, you have
Speaker 1: to yeah transfer schools man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean they can get kicked out of
Speaker 2: school because it's only kindergarten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not gonna have access to the Oh
Speaker 3: that's well.
Speaker 1: Look, you guys are living in the past and we
Speaker 1: gotta to send me an email. It's like I would
Speaker 1: beat the other parents with a trapper keeper. I don't
Speaker 1: think they have those anymore, sir, excuse me. I don't
Speaker 1: think they have trapper keeper. That's not a thing anymore. Right,
Speaker 1: trapper keepers.
Speaker 2: Those are like collectibles now, especially the ones we had
Speaker 2: all cool stuff inside. I had a Lamborghinian mind it
Speaker 2: was super cool.
Speaker 3: Oh dude.
Speaker 1: I had a Batman one, Yes, I had. And I
Speaker 1: was the old school Batman, like the old you know,
Speaker 1: like sixties seventies television, like.
Speaker 2: The Adam West Batman.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah I was. I was super retro as
Speaker 1: a kid. So, oh, look at this too.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 1: I just clicked over to another video. Apparently monkeys and
Speaker 1: India are stealing puppies again. So what a morning?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, the trapper keeper would have been your
Speaker 1: your correct sor it would have been like you could
Speaker 1: have had a pencil case, although really the girls had
Speaker 1: the pencil cases, and they had an obnoxious amount of
Speaker 1: pens and pencils. They had all the colored ones or
Speaker 1: the one that like has the six little things that
Speaker 1: flick down for different colors, like real og stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't think they have any of that anymore. But you're right,
Speaker 1: trapper keeper back in the day would have been an
Speaker 1: elite weapon, not anymore, all right. So I guess the
Speaker 1: moral of the story is, even though we're getting late
Speaker 1: in the season, if you still have one of your
Speaker 1: kids graduations to go to, maybe do like a Rocky
Speaker 1: training montage before you go, because you don't want to share.
Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is get your
Speaker 1: behind kicked in front of your kid. I think we
Speaker 1: can all agree with that, all right. Eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight seven four. What a way
Speaker 1: to start the morning. And we'll truck on next. Hang on,
Speaker 1: all right, So I just got an email here from
Speaker 1: one of our listeners ross trapper keepers are a thing again.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's cool. They're probably like they like hold like
Speaker 2: tablets or something now, or is it just paper and
Speaker 2: old school stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It just says I guess maybe he
Speaker 3: was chopping for his kid and he said he saw
Speaker 3: him at Walmart or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't go in the school supplier toy aisle because
Speaker 1: I don't have kids, and I don't want to end
Speaker 1: up on a list, So I don't know, don't know,
Speaker 1: let's see here.
Speaker 3: But yeah, all right, so yeah, I'm with Ross.
Speaker 1: I suspect they probably have like a little one of
Speaker 1: those adjustable tablet holders because I have a really nice
Speaker 1: well that's great. I had a really nice cover for
Speaker 1: my new iPad which kind of, you know, it looked
Speaker 1: like a trapper keeper, but it looked like one of
Speaker 1: those leather bound you know, like meat tablets were redoermally
Speaker 1: right in there and it kind of snaps the pad
Speaker 1: into there, and uh, I just read. I liked how
Speaker 1: strong the damn thing was. But I don't know if
Speaker 1: I describe it as a trapper keeper though. But look,
Speaker 1: we had like elite weapons back in the day, like
Speaker 1: remember snap bracelets, Court Roster.
Speaker 3: Do you have snap bracelets in Schenectady. I'm sure right, yeah.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 2: It was scary because they said that it would like
Speaker 2: cut open your wrist and you'd bleed it and die.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you razor sharpen one of those, because I
Speaker 1: remember when they break down, like the cloth or whatever,
Speaker 1: the fabric around the metal would come off, and then
Speaker 1: they would essentially turn into a foldable knife.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if that actually ever happened.
Speaker 2: I think it's sort of like the razor blade in
Speaker 2: the Apple where it's you know, like a myth, like
Speaker 2: I don't think it ever actually happened.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, did you not live in a household or
Speaker 1: your mom assumed that a ferret and an ATV were
Speaker 1: going to murder you at any more?
Speaker 8: Did?
Speaker 2: And once again, that was a thing that did happen,
Speaker 2: But I'm saying this specific one was. I believe it's
Speaker 2: an urban legend, Like I don't think it ever happened.
Speaker 1: I think that if you got a trapper keeper has
Speaker 1: got some firmness to it. You got enough snap bracelets,
Speaker 1: you know how to wield it, and you can throw uh,
Speaker 1: what was the big pog.
Speaker 3: The slammer?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: That was the heavier pog. You use those like ninja
Speaker 1: stars like the other parents. It's not gonna be a
Speaker 1: good day for them, how many of you have ever
Speaker 1: purchased hair hair Abo. It's such a dumb name. I
Speaker 1: can never pronounce it. But the you've you've seen it
Speaker 1: h A R I b O. And they make like
Speaker 1: gummy bears, right and gummy worms and gummies. They make
Speaker 1: gummy stuff, very very very popular brand.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: They've issued a major recall after and whoopsie, apparently some
Speaker 1: of their gummies are actually full of weed, which I
Speaker 1: guess are not supposed to be.
Speaker 3: Uh. Specifically, what is this um?
Speaker 1: Traditional gummy bears cola the color flavored they have like
Speaker 1: Coca cola flavored gummies.
Speaker 3: Does that sound good?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 3: Anyway, the company is investigating how some of their popular
Speaker 3: gummy products apparently became tainted with cannabis after several people
Speaker 3: reportedly fell ill in the Netherlands. Right, so now you
Speaker 3: just you just so you paid so cheap for gummies edibles.
Speaker 2: There's like two things going on here, one of two things, right, yes,
Speaker 2: One the manufacturer is secretly like a Gusferring breaking bad
Speaker 2: where they're secretly in the business of drug manufacturing, like
Speaker 2: in the in the basement of their plant or whatever
Speaker 2: or too.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: They just want people to buy their gummy bears. So
Speaker 2: it's yes, yeah, no, no, no, this is a marketing thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like, oh no, one in one hundred
Speaker 1: packs is full of weed. You better we do this
Speaker 1: is this is the Wonka Golden ticket right here.
Speaker 3: Absolute genius.
Speaker 1: Now, apparently the company, because you look edible and cannabis
Speaker 1: filled gummies, some of the companies that produced the traditional
Speaker 1: consumer ones also produced the weed ones, which I was
Speaker 1: not aware of, but apparently they do. And I guess
Speaker 1: because specifically the plant where this was manufactured is a
Speaker 1: plant in the Netherlands serving their European market, and you know,
Speaker 1: the edible weed is legal there. So they've issued a
Speaker 1: recall both in the US and EU. So some of
Speaker 1: this stuff apparently got shipped over here, specifically Harribo Happy
Speaker 1: Cola Fizz gummies. Apparently several consumers said they felt dizziness
Speaker 1: after eating the swill.
Speaker 3: You can't handle your high, that's what's going on here.
Speaker 1: Officials took samples of the gummies that the consumers had bought.
Speaker 3: Sure enough, they're a chock full of weed. What is this?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how much weed gummies they
Speaker 1: They're very they're they're not a lot of details here,
Speaker 1: but they do. They do manufacture some. Yeah, you should
Speaker 1: probably have those in different plants or rooms at least
Speaker 1: it just because some people are not down with that
Speaker 1: reminds me. But hey, yeah, what's that.
Speaker 2: We're watching a documentary now in Netflix called The Tail
Speaker 2: and All Murders or Killings or something, and it's about
Speaker 2: from the day from nineteen eighty two when there was
Speaker 2: cyanide and the extra strength pills or whatever. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: tablet or the capsules.
Speaker 3: Dude, that changed that. That screwed up the ability to
Speaker 3: ever open bottles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's now why you have the like the foil
Speaker 2: on the inside once you get the cap off. It's
Speaker 2: why you have a problem getting the cap off. And
Speaker 2: it's why you have the plastic around the cap.
Speaker 3: Thank you who.
Speaker 1: They never caught them, by the way, they never They
Speaker 1: never caught whoever poison the time. But just imagine you're
Speaker 1: sitting around one day and you're just so angry, like,
Speaker 1: I think I have any poison. Some aspirin or islan's
Speaker 1: name is Talanol's aspirin or end said, I can't remember.
Speaker 2: It's like its own sort of, it's it's its own.
Speaker 2: It's oh okay, Yeah, so, but what's scary about that
Speaker 2: story is like how it initially started in Chicago where
Speaker 2: you had like a brother die and they were trying
Speaker 2: to figure out how did the brother die? And it
Speaker 2: was like later on that day, the families around in
Speaker 2: the living room and they're obviously like kind of feeling
Speaker 2: stressed and you know, headaches, and the sister takes some
Speaker 2: of the tailent all and she drops dead and then
Speaker 2: it's just all in a span of twenty four hours,
Speaker 2: its spiraled out of control.
Speaker 3: I can't did they have a theory where they even
Speaker 3: have a suspect that I can't even remember they do.
Speaker 2: You should check it out. It's on Netflix. It's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, it's been a while since I've aprized myself
Speaker 3: with that story.
Speaker 2: Is that all you and Markey watch just like we
Speaker 2: watch everything we actually because of Indoor, we just started.
Speaker 2: We went through the entire After Indoor, we started the
Speaker 2: entire originally Star Wars trilogy. It was like even it
Speaker 2: was great up through Return of the Jedi, and then
Speaker 2: we started Phantom Menace last week and it's so bad,
Speaker 2: Like the drop off, the fall off there is so
Speaker 2: but we could not get through Phantom menace. We're like, well,
Speaker 2: now we're into something difference. It's so it's so bad.
Speaker 3: Everything's it's been forever since it starts. And it's like
Speaker 3: something about a tariffs and in bargo and taxes and
Speaker 3: a trade alliance and there's state Trump started the whole thing,
Speaker 3: So what.
Speaker 2: Is happening here? And then you have jar Jar Banks,
Speaker 2: which is worse than you remember. It's it's not like
Speaker 2: it couldn't possibly be. It is.
Speaker 3: I have to fast forward. When they're in the under
Speaker 3: undersea city thing.
Speaker 2: It is worse than you remember.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, it's maybe it's different or maybe there's
Speaker 3: gonna be like an astylisha factor.
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna enjoy it more than them before. No,
Speaker 2: it's awful.
Speaker 3: It's Jarge Jar needs is Thailand?
Speaker 2: All yeah, you should try.
Speaker 1: By the way, that's gonna suck for your wife. Did
Speaker 1: I see she just had a root canal? And now
Speaker 1: she just watched the thing to scare her about Thailand.
Speaker 2: She did yesterday and that was the thing because we
Speaker 2: were watching it, and that's all she could take is
Speaker 2: Tayland all like you yeah, yeah, I remember when I
Speaker 2: had my root canal was a combo of tailand All
Speaker 2: and Ivy pro well, especially if you're like pregnant, you're
Speaker 2: not supposed to take other stuff. So she's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're like no, no, a leave or ibuprofen or anything
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: So it's okay, Yeah, Like, did you go give me
Speaker 3: some talol? Yeah, Random Chicago got you some money your.
Speaker 2: Tablet form to do the capsules. It's scary, yeah, the
Speaker 2: Phantom menaces where so now we're done, Like it killed
Speaker 2: the vibe, the Star Wars vibe. So we were looking
Speaker 2: for someone else to watch, and we started that the
Speaker 2: other day.
Speaker 1: Is there any of the six other movies, not the
Speaker 1: three original, but of the other six that you actually like?
Speaker 2: I think the one that holds up the best. And
Speaker 2: you recently saw this at the box office where it
Speaker 2: made like a you know, in another one. Revenge of
Speaker 2: the Sith is okay, but the first two are bad,
Speaker 2: and the other movies with Ray just I just can't
Speaker 2: and Or I cannot express this enough. And Or is
Speaker 2: a miracle, especially because it was created by Disney US.
Speaker 2: It's a Disney product, but it shows that they can
Speaker 2: make this. They can do good Star Wars if they
Speaker 2: choose to. And Or is a miracle and it has.
Speaker 2: I believe it has saved Star Wars. I can't recommend
Speaker 2: it enough. It's really good.
Speaker 3: I was reading an article yesterday, Uh, what is the
Speaker 3: video game Oblivion or whatever they're redoing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the remaster came out.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 3: Did you see that?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Did you see the three women who were in charge
Speaker 3: of production.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that's so dumb because they were also involved
Speaker 2: with Skyrim. They've been with the company forever. So that's
Speaker 2: why I'm asking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the scandal around them, they're like, oh, look at
Speaker 3: these women with the hair, and they're going to ruin it.
Speaker 2: They're gonna woci fight. And maybe it is because maybe
Speaker 2: they have more of a license to do that now
Speaker 2: because of of of the past few years or but
Speaker 2: I think this is under decline. But the three women
Speaker 2: that they called out have literally been with the company
Speaker 2: since the since.
Speaker 3: The So it's not a scandal on Twitter.
Speaker 2: The one I know, I know nothing. Yeah, the one
Speaker 2: woman they were trying to call out, she's literally been
Speaker 2: in charge. She's she from the beginning of Bethesta in
Speaker 2: these games. She was the one that created every race
Speaker 2: in the game and what they look like. So okay,
Speaker 2: it's nothing. People are freaking out over nothing.
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, like, I understand why people freak out.
Speaker 1: How many times have they been literally stabbed in the heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it could be now
Speaker 2: they feel like they have they can do whatever they
Speaker 2: want to do. But I think after seeing what's happened
Speaker 2: with it will be soft in different games in the
Speaker 2: industry in the past, like two or three years, there
Speaker 2: might be a little maybe we shouldn't go full woke
Speaker 2: on this.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so that's good because we're going woke
Speaker 3: with everything else.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, man, I feel like it's on
Speaker 2: the decline. I really do feel like the woke stuff
Speaker 2: is on the decline. Really, yeah, I feel like the
Speaker 2: pendulum has started to swing back.
Speaker 3: How many of how many trans saints have you read
Speaker 3: about in the Bible yet?
Speaker 5: I read?
Speaker 2: I know, I haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 1: Oh you haven't got the part with like Joanna the Baptist. Okay,
Speaker 1: wait till you hear how that ends up. That's the
Speaker 1: whole thing. So I saw this yesterday. Uh, Christianity is
Speaker 1: long revered saints who would be called transgender today.
Speaker 3: This is the retroactive thing. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: know this.
Speaker 1: About once a month somebody writes an article where they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: all the people from history, they're all gay or trans
Speaker 1: or have uh what.
Speaker 3: Does it have autism? I think they decided everyone had
Speaker 3: autism back in the day too, and then they write
Speaker 3: these these insane articles.
Speaker 1: Christianity is long revered saints who would be called transgender today.
Speaker 1: There are at least thirty four documented stories of transgender
Speaker 1: saints' lives are there. I was raised Catholic. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know this. They kind of saints are
Speaker 1: a big thing. If you know this, A it's a
Speaker 1: big thing, big thing in the Catholicism. And I did
Speaker 1: the Catechism, obviously, I grew up in the Catholic Church.
Speaker 3: I don't remember any of this. So so a bunch
Speaker 3: of like Saint Eugenia and h.
Speaker 1: The say Marino, right, is there some some of the
Speaker 1: ones you actually learned about were actually women pretending to
Speaker 1: be men. And then I read the article and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're speculating, right, A little bit of speculation going on here.
Speaker 1: And also I don't know if you know this, especially
Speaker 1: when you get into old school Catholic Church probably would
Speaker 1: have not reacted. Well, you understand what I'm laying down here, right,
Speaker 1: going back to I don't know, thirteen hundreds or so
Speaker 1: found out that somebody they were about to be outify
Speaker 1: was actually somebody pretending to be the other gender. I
Speaker 1: feel like that would have not gone well for the
Speaker 1: process within the trip.
Speaker 8: What do I know?
Speaker 1: Now, It's not to say, by the way, that there
Speaker 1: were not women who pretended to be men for certain reasons.
Speaker 1: But it was not because they were trans It was
Speaker 1: because they didn't want burned at the stake or uh
Speaker 1: you know, do y. There's some military militaristic staff. And
Speaker 1: then a time around the time of Reformation, there's a
Speaker 1: little of this like there, so you've taken this thing
Speaker 1: which was simply kind of like rejecting society's norms, but
Speaker 1: not because they honestly thought they were a man. Okay,
Speaker 1: they just chopped their hair off whatever, because it wasn't
Speaker 1: going well in some of these instances for women and
Speaker 1: in very specific cases for San Marino. Right, you can
Speaker 1: you look all this stuff up, but it but it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're like it's like saying that Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: Embosom Buddies was trans.
Speaker 3: He wasn't.
Speaker 1: He just wanted cheaper rent. Okay, well that was it, right,
Speaker 1: It wasn't. I think it was rent right, or they
Speaker 1: wanted to live in that building. I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: the premise of that show. It's been so long.
Speaker 3: But like Tom Hanks, wasn't running around demanding pronoun allegiance. Okay.
Speaker 1: Eugenia Eugenia raised a pagan, join a monastery to learn
Speaker 1: more about Christianity, and later became an abbot, but joined
Speaker 1: the monastery to escape an unwanted suitor, so so posed
Speaker 1: as a man, which I again I think some of
Speaker 1: your research is a little soft here. But because you're
Speaker 1: a sighting motivation didn't want to essentially get sold into marriage,
Speaker 1: that's what's.
Speaker 3: Going on here. Didn't But that's not trans that's hiding.
Speaker 3: That's different. And of course you got to sit here
Speaker 3: and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now people are sending
Speaker 3: me other stories, yes, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1: The number of Founding fathers who were secretly gay, trans
Speaker 1: or had autism is wild. Any European scientists from a
Speaker 1: time around the time when we were figuring out the
Speaker 1: sun earth thing, they always go into those two They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this person had aspergers.
Speaker 3: It was really a woman.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. How too, when you think about like the
Speaker 2: sinking of the Titanic, how many men ended up being
Speaker 2: trans at the end there? How many being what the
Speaker 2: men ended up being trans at the end of the sinking.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're like, you know what, super trans you know,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm about to go down with the ship
Speaker 2: and I just need to be my real self. Give
Speaker 2: me that dress.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine not wanting to drown in three hundred
Speaker 3: years later, some a whole reporters like, hey, you're like, no,
Speaker 3: I didn't want to drown. I don't know it was cold. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh these people, man, all right, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: read all this insanity. Wait, what's even crazier as these authors?
Speaker 1: Alicia Spencer Hall and Blake Gutt also argued that medieval
Speaker 1: Christianity saw transness as holy.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's true. I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you know a lot about medieval Christianity and early Christianity,
Speaker 1: not just early Christianity, but you know religions back in
Speaker 1: the day, they really there was this there was a
Speaker 1: certain amount of conformity that.
Speaker 3: They really demanded, you know, like gender roles were a thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you stepped outside those, they wouldn't just
Speaker 1: be like you have to go to a new church.
Speaker 3: There were other consequences. So we look, we don't do
Speaker 3: that now.
Speaker 1: But you can't pretend like it wasn't a thing, like
Speaker 1: like burning people at the steak was a thing. I
Speaker 1: don't if you know this, heresy is a thing, and
Speaker 1: a modern day apostas apostle, I could never say that.
Speaker 3: They have word.
Speaker 1: But rejecting one's religion is still punishable by death in
Speaker 1: most Middle Eastern countries, right, So there's a bat And
Speaker 1: so I'm just saying within within the world of organized religion,
Speaker 1: over the years.
Speaker 3: People have paid some pretty hefty prices for not conforming.
Speaker 2: So you're saying, like you know, throughout history, uh, medieval
Speaker 2: times or whatnot, you know, like the Roman Catholic Church
Speaker 2: in Europe, they could be sticklers. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 3: They were sticklers is one word. There was a lot
Speaker 3: of sticking with various stuff.
Speaker 1: So true, like if you want to, if you want to,
Speaker 1: some of the craziest execution methods were around that time.
Speaker 3: Not good stuff they had. They would sit there and
Speaker 3: they would cut they would cut the tongue out, they
Speaker 3: would cut the the bits off, like and this was
Speaker 3: and this was part of you.
Speaker 1: And then and then even if you then were like no,
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right, uh, totally into this religion, then
Speaker 1: they'd be like, ah, your soul is saved, and then
Speaker 1: they would murder you. Assuming well look he you know
Speaker 1: they came around, so now they're gonna go to the
Speaker 1: heaven and stuff, right, And I'm I'm not just picking
Speaker 1: on the Catholic Church like this is. This is not
Speaker 1: a new thing, and it's not even a thing that
Speaker 1: completely went away. Is I just evidence where you can
Speaker 1: be executed in a country for going I don't feel
Speaker 1: like going to church no more. Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: waste my whatever day. I don't want to pray five
Speaker 1: times a day. That's way too many.
Speaker 3: That's an executable offense man within the Muslim faith, within
Speaker 3: certain Middle Eastern countries, including one where we're putting a
Speaker 3: damn Disneyland. So give me this garbage. They were all
Speaker 3: secretly trans have you.
Speaker 1: You've seen the you've seen the articles where they're like
Speaker 1: Jesus was hooking up with his apostles, right, you want
Speaker 1: to get really offensive on this stuff.
Speaker 3: I remember reading that article.
Speaker 1: Probably not Judas though, because he knew he you know,
Speaker 1: obviously he's like, ah, one of you will betray me,
Speaker 1: and he knew which one. So but yeah, so, I honestly,
Speaker 1: I think they people write these articles just outrage Christians
Speaker 1: for the clicks. Literary scholar Ronda McDaniel explains that in
Speaker 1: tenth century England, adopting the Christian values of shunning wealth, militarism,
Speaker 1: and sex made it easier for people to go beyond
Speaker 1: strict ideas. So instead of defining gender by separate male
Speaker 1: and female values, all individuals could be defined by the
Speaker 1: same Christian values. So actually, what you're talking about is
Speaker 1: you're talking about the beginnings of equity within a religion.
Speaker 1: You're not talking about a trans movement. And also it
Speaker 1: took a little while to get there. The Whig Party
Speaker 1: was a whole trans political party because men would wear wigs.
Speaker 1: That's a good point, Emiller, you should probably write an
Speaker 1: article for The New Yorker. They'd sure as help publish
Speaker 1: the thing. All right, did you guys see the Epstein update.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell is going on, but
Speaker 1: I'll lay it out for you coming up next. Hang on,
Speaker 1: I see some of you want to earn perma blocks
Speaker 1: this morning. That's I'm fully aware of the glennar Greenwald thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: And if you're not, and you're like, what's he talking,
Speaker 1: just don't just don't just don't, okay, But also.
Speaker 3: Don't send that to us. I don't nobody wants to
Speaker 3: see that.
Speaker 1: If Glenn Greenwald, who is a grown adult, wants to
Speaker 1: don a slutty milk make costume, to have his hands
Speaker 1: tied behind his back and make out with some black.
Speaker 3: Dude's foot, that's whatever that's for him. Don't tag us
Speaker 3: in that. Don't send me that. I don't even know
Speaker 3: the context of it, and I refuse to learn it. Ross.
Speaker 1: Do you know the context of the video? Is it
Speaker 1: like somebody's attacking him because they're mad.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but I will come
Speaker 2: up when there were several people that tag me in it,
Speaker 2: including people that you know call the show often, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, this aggression will not stand man, Well, this is.
Speaker 1: A personal attack. And who hasn't done to slutty milk
Speaker 1: made costume and been bound right? Who amongst us, right,
Speaker 1: I don't need I don't need to see video. Nope,
Speaker 1: just okay, all right, this like I don't even I
Speaker 1: don't know why it exists. I don't want to know
Speaker 1: why it exists. But also you're gonna get yourself on
Speaker 1: a list. Leave us out of it.
Speaker 3: Unless there's some criminal thing there or some story other
Speaker 3: than whatever. Don't care.
Speaker 1: Now if it's Kate Upton, just hear me out here, right,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe yeah, maybe that's different, but no to this, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, very good. Apparently kindergarten or kindergarten pen this case,
Speaker 1: pre kindergarten melee's are very popular.
Speaker 3: So we opened the show explaining.
Speaker 1: That there was a big old, big old like Vivor series,
Speaker 1: a cage match thing going on into kindergarten in outside
Speaker 1: of Memphis is where it happened, and the video is insane.
Speaker 1: A bunch of parents at a kindergarten graduation decide they're
Speaker 1: all gonna throw hands. Probably shouldn't do that, and then
Speaker 1: and then the kids aren't even rooting their own parents
Speaker 1: on there like crying and stuff and stop. You know
Speaker 1: the problem, there's way too some of you're not gonna
Speaker 1: like this there's way too many graduations. I've ran it
Speaker 1: about this before. You don't need a graduation for kindergarten. Okay,
Speaker 1: you sure as hell don't need one for pre K
Speaker 1: because apparently a pre K graduation ceremony in where is it?
Speaker 3: Robison County that turned into a giant.
Speaker 1: Fistfight, and that one, we do understand that a family
Speaker 1: member of one of the kids asked somebody who was
Speaker 1: standing up in front of them if they could sit down,
Speaker 1: and that's enough to start punching people over apparently.
Speaker 3: But the bigger issue is, we don't need your kid
Speaker 3: doesn't need a graduation for everything.
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of a bunch of six year olds
Speaker 1: in cap and gowns. Is ridiculous, and you know what
Speaker 1: it is, it's part of it's it's almost the everyone
Speaker 1: gets a trophy culture.
Speaker 3: Some hard truths here. Maybe your kids will, you don't.
Speaker 1: You haven't accomplished something yet, I mean accomplished a little something.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, right, you're getting into the school thing.
Speaker 1: That's going to be a transition, but you haven't achieved
Speaker 1: anything yet. I think middle school graduation's a bit sus
Speaker 1: I mean, I give you in high school I don't
Speaker 1: give you the college.
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed my kids kindergarten graduation. It was a
Speaker 2: cute thing for the parents in the time.
Speaker 3: I totally get it. But I'm just saying, in the
Speaker 3: in the in the grand scheme of things, you're not
Speaker 3: putting it on a resume.
Speaker 10: No. No.
Speaker 2: Back in my day, I don't think I remember. I
Speaker 2: don't think we had a kindergarten one. We definitely had
Speaker 2: an elementary school. I remember that.
Speaker 1: I remember we had a middle school one and then
Speaker 1: a high school. I didn't even go to my high
Speaker 1: school one. I graduated, and I graduated early.
Speaker 3: I never went back. Didn't care.
Speaker 1: You know, my photos, not even in my senior yearbook.
Speaker 1: That's how little I cared that I'm I'm not taking photos.
Speaker 1: I'm not even here anywhere. I was already down in
Speaker 1: California at school. I don't get me wrong. I enjoyed
Speaker 1: high school. I enjoyed my friends, all of that.
Speaker 3: Didn't care. I think I think I know where my
Speaker 3: high school diploma is. I think I know.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've looked at that thing since twenty years.
Speaker 1: Didn't want to go through all of it. We just
Speaker 1: have way too many graduations. Oh, you learn to not
Speaker 1: poop your pants. Let's have a ceremony, right. We need
Speaker 1: to save this for major achievements people, and then it
Speaker 1: would then limit the ability of people to show up
Speaker 1: and be garbage. Humans having fistfights in front of their kids.
Speaker 3: Learn how to act?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: How many parents were involved in this one in Robeson County?
Speaker 1: A hold on, let me open the story here, cant
Speaker 1: we were slogged down in this this morning pre k.
Speaker 3: And again it's pre k. It's not even kindergarten, it's
Speaker 3: pre K.
Speaker 1: A pre K graduation ceremony on Friday at the Red
Speaker 1: Springs Head Start Center abruptly ended after a fight broke
Speaker 1: out involving multiple people. Chief Police Chief Sarah Purcell said
Speaker 1: they're actively investigating and reviewing the schools surveillance video, along
Speaker 1: with any cell phone footage of the melee. Purcell said
Speaker 1: the fight started with a relative of one of the
Speaker 1: little graduates. Why do you put the word little in there?
Speaker 1: I assume they're all little.
Speaker 3: You had grown.
Speaker 1: Adults graduating pre K. You don't have to specify. Purcell
Speaker 1: said the fight started when a relative of one of
Speaker 1: the little graduates ask someone to move so they could
Speaker 1: see their kid. That's what's even crazier in our society.
Speaker 1: That's a perfectly reasonable request, if it depending on how
Speaker 1: you do it, right, Remember when we used to not
Speaker 1: be horrible to each other in these situations.
Speaker 2: That's what I was saying before in the first segment
Speaker 2: about the kindergarten. They're in Memphis or wherever it was
Speaker 2: where it's yeah, outside of it. Yeah, you have the
Speaker 2: parents here, and it's you've got to understand that there
Speaker 2: are other parents there with other kids. And you know,
Speaker 2: one thing you learn, especially in pre k kindergarten, is
Speaker 2: to share, right, Yeah, that's a big thing, right, and
Speaker 2: to cooperate with each other. And it's just come on,
Speaker 2: act like adults.
Speaker 3: Man. That's woke garbage man, every man for themselves, right,
Speaker 3: that's what you're teaching your kids. Uh yeah, hey, uh
Speaker 3: do you mind?
Speaker 1: I want to take a picture of my kid because
Speaker 1: they're crossing the thing. Punch in the face, you get
Speaker 1: punched in the face. I mean, this is where we are.
Speaker 1: It's just crazy.
Speaker 2: That's why a lot of this stuff happens. You like,
Speaker 2: wonder why the kids act a certain ways because their parents? Yes, oh,
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's the old you know, fried
Speaker 2: egg in the pan. I learned it from watching you dad,
Speaker 2: You know right.
Speaker 1: Well, I just all that kid learned how to do
Speaker 1: is just smoke a joint properly. Here they're punching people.
Speaker 3: By the way, if you're gonna do drugs, apparently want
Speaker 3: to do mushrooms. What a fun transition this is gonna be.
Speaker 3: Two hikers in New York's Adirondack Mountains had to call
Speaker 3: nine to one one to report a third member of
Speaker 3: their party had died. That's worst case scenario.
Speaker 1: Man, You get back, you're doing backcountry, you're hiking back there,
Speaker 1: somebody gets hurt, somebody gets.
Speaker 3: Injured, God forbid, somebody dies. Now you got to deal
Speaker 3: with that.
Speaker 1: Had a buddy who broke a leg when we were
Speaker 1: back in the mountains man, and he really, he really
Speaker 1: wanted helicoptered out of there. And then they were like,
Speaker 1: you can't fly a helicopter in the middle of the
Speaker 1: freaking woods man. So they ended up literally taking them
Speaker 1: out on horseback. It's the most wyoming thing ever.
Speaker 3: But like, she didn't die. These poor people they're back there,
Speaker 3: their their buddy dies.
Speaker 1: Now they got to call nine to one one. The
Speaker 1: state forest rangers got to come out. They got to
Speaker 1: get figure out how they're gonna get the body out.
Speaker 1: This was a Cascade Mountain area. I don't know exactly where.
Speaker 1: That is part of the Adirondack High Peak, so it
Speaker 1: sounds a very remote area. The two hikers called nine
Speaker 1: one one uh and also talk to a steward.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that somebody works for the forest there on
Speaker 1: the mountain summit that they were lost. One problem though,
Speaker 1: their buddy didn't die. They were all just tripping on mushrooms.
Speaker 2: So there I was right way that we were camping
Speaker 2: them Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh well this is page camp there.
Speaker 2: Well this is probably back at like two thousand and four.
Speaker 3: It's been an active volcano longer though.
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, my buddy roy Felt fell off Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 3: Oh no, not Roy, Yeah, into the.
Speaker 2: Cold, straight down into the mouth of the beast. Oh man,
Speaker 2: there was a beast there at the base of Mount Vesuvius,
Speaker 2: I would assume.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And after it we we we we were in a panic.
Speaker 2: And then it turned out we weren't even on Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 2: We were out a chili's Roy wasn't even there.
Speaker 3: I don't even know, Roy, do you have the baby
Speaker 3: back ribs?
Speaker 2: We did?
Speaker 3: Oh, that's good, okay.
Speaker 1: The two hikers who called down one one eventually met
Speaker 1: up with one of the rangers, who then accompanied them
Speaker 1: to their website to retrieve their friend's body, only to
Speaker 1: determine that they were in quote an altered mental state.
Speaker 1: And when they showed up at the campground there was
Speaker 1: the third dude, also high on mushrooms.
Speaker 2: They had to be like super weirded out when they
Speaker 2: when he showed up.
Speaker 1: He's a ghost. Yeah, our friends a ghost. But like
Speaker 1: I got, you can't even because you tortured some poor
Speaker 1: guy on mushrooms.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like this, this story is really
Speaker 2: funny for me because I you know, I've been completely
Speaker 2: honest in the show in the past about you know,
Speaker 2: I've been in radio since nineteen ninety seven, right right,
Speaker 2: I've seen some stuff in my twenties were really fun,
Speaker 2: so I might have some experience with some of this.
Speaker 2: Not now, you know, I'm like super clean, living and
Speaker 2: sober now. But yeah, my twenties were fun and I
Speaker 2: have had some experience, so I can imagine, like you
Speaker 2: think your buddy dies and then he shows back up
Speaker 2: and like you.
Speaker 3: Just start screaming the rangers like, oh my god. They
Speaker 3: lose their mind, like he's a day walker. Wow, he's
Speaker 3: a skid walker.
Speaker 1: Just as you understand how much fun Ross had he
Speaker 1: put a poor man in a closet and tortured him
Speaker 1: with movie posters. So if I'm telling that right, was
Speaker 1: that mushrooms your friend was on?
Speaker 3: Try to remember what it was?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this giant walking closet. And he was like he
Speaker 2: thought the cops were there, so he ran into the
Speaker 2: giant walking closet. He threw in all the I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a massive closet. I don't even know how it was.
Speaker 2: It didn't fit the apartment. It was super weird. So
Speaker 2: he goes in the back of the closet and he
Speaker 2: takes all the coats and all everything off the hangars
Speaker 2: and throws it on himself and lies flat like he's
Speaker 2: hiding from the cops that are.
Speaker 3: Not Yeah, and they get you if you're under coats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me and my buddy Bob, we decide that we're
Speaker 2: going to take we at the time, we collected all
Speaker 2: these giant movie posters and these black frames, so we
Speaker 2: decided that we were going to take them off the wall,
Speaker 2: and then we walked to the entrance of the giant
Speaker 2: walking clause that we go, they're coming for you, buddy,
Speaker 2: and we started throwing the frames at him and he's
Speaker 2: on the ground just like convulsing, thinking he's in attacked.
Speaker 2: H fantastic, all the lolls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 1: It ever have you ever were you ever in a
Speaker 1: house party situation when the cops showed up and everybody
Speaker 1: runs and hides, and then right there you determine who's
Speaker 1: an idiot.
Speaker 8: I's not.
Speaker 2: I was the one that threw those parties.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, no, Me and me and some roommates
Speaker 3: had our house. We had a massive party at our
Speaker 3: house and we ended up.
Speaker 2: It was it did not go well and I kill It.
Speaker 1: Was crazy as there was like thirty people all hiding
Speaker 1: in this house, had like five bedrooms, a huge house.
Speaker 1: But like people, you realize the kids that sucked at
Speaker 1: hide and go seek back in the day, Yeah, they're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold still against the wall.
Speaker 2: I can see you, yeah, and I would answer the door.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time that happened. Once again, early
Speaker 2: twenties life experience not now completely different. I've learned list,
Speaker 2: but you know, I had my fun. But I remember
Speaker 2: opening the door. It was like in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night, and then somebody knocked on the door, like
Speaker 2: who's that. I open it and there's like three cops
Speaker 2: and like dogs, and I remember looking at the dog
Speaker 2: going look at you cute, you know, Poppy Arch, not
Speaker 2: realizing why the dog was there. Right, like right, everything
Speaker 2: was fine, nobody was arrest and everything's fine. But you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: some people run.
Speaker 3: Were they strippers or not? They were not, No, they
Speaker 3: were not.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know why they would bring dogs if
Speaker 1: they were strippers, but whatever.
Speaker 8: So we did that.
Speaker 2: Though. We would mess with the people that would come
Speaker 2: to the party because my roommate he worked security at
Speaker 2: a uh and an adult store. Hm hmm, so he
Speaker 2: would he would be security there. This is annoying an
Speaker 2: ABC store, huh sure, so he would. He had like
Speaker 2: a cop uniform they get like a rental cop uniform.
Speaker 2: But in the middle of the party, he would knock
Speaker 2: on the door. We would plan it out and he
Speaker 2: would act like he was the cops and come in
Speaker 2: just to scare the crap out of everybody.
Speaker 3: That's good stuff. So the so one of our neighbor
Speaker 3: crawled in she so she she crawled into the crawl
Speaker 3: space in the basement when the cops showed up, and
Speaker 3: she fell asleep in there, oh dude, for like two hours,
Speaker 3: and we all thought she had gone home.
Speaker 1: We thought because a bunch of people ran out in
Speaker 1: the backyard. We just assumed she went home because she
Speaker 1: lived just down the street. And then like later we
Speaker 1: see her going to the bathroom and we're.
Speaker 2: Like, where did you come from?
Speaker 3: Where'd she come from?
Speaker 1: And she had she had literally crawled the crawl space,
Speaker 1: which I you know, had like it had like boxes
Speaker 1: and coats and a bunch of stuff stored in there,
Speaker 1: so I guess it was uh, but also it had
Speaker 1: a lot of bugs I remember back in the day.
Speaker 1: So she was pretty hammered. So just slept in there. No,
Speaker 1: didn't get a ticket or nothing.
Speaker 3: So good on her.
Speaker 1: All right, seven twenty here on the Cacoda Radio program.
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna do mushrooms and you think your
Speaker 1: friend dies and then they come back, they might be
Speaker 1: a ghost. I think that's probably the moral of the
Speaker 1: story here. Uh, all right, you're on the you're on
Speaker 1: the Glenn Greenwold list there you go, block and he blocked, block,
Speaker 1: blocked all of you, all right, seven twenty one, hang out.
Speaker 1: My business partner were selling nothing but tar and feathers,
Speaker 1: right and and the and then y' all can buy
Speaker 1: it for whoever's I just got the third email, and uh, look,
Speaker 1: I understand it's anecdotal, but they're all saying the same thing.
Speaker 1: And this is New Hanover County, so uh you know,
Speaker 1: uh down towards Wilmington. We got some listeners down there
Speaker 1: because we've got a big old signal who say that
Speaker 1: the county person of their property to just going up
Speaker 1: ninety percent?
Speaker 3: Is that accurate? I've heard some horror stories from many
Speaker 3: of you in many different counties.
Speaker 2: You have got a friend, a pastor friend that lives
Speaker 2: in Fayeville and he occaually the same thing happened. It's
Speaker 2: like it's making you know, you've lived in your house forever,
Speaker 2: and probably it goes up and makes your your insurance
Speaker 2: go up, and the mortgage, everything goes up, and suddenly
Speaker 2: the house you've been living in for decades you can't afford.
Speaker 3: Me.
Speaker 1: Just think of let's say that, let's say you're you're
Speaker 1: you got an average hume. Let's say your your taxes
Speaker 1: are fifteen hundred a year, all right, that's probably that's
Speaker 1: probably in the window for many counties. And now it's
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars more thirteen hundred with thirteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: more more than one hundred dollars per month in additional
Speaker 1: property tax. And that's just the county portion. Who the
Speaker 1: hell are these people? Just the audacity of it, man,
Speaker 1: this lunatic. I just played the commercial court. Now you
Speaker 1: got the hiccups. Really, that's great. On ross talking about
Speaker 1: tarring and feathering, somebody got drinks of.
Speaker 2: Water, right, So the feathers are super nice. They come
Speaker 2: from Mount Vesuvius. They're indigenous to the area. Now the tar,
Speaker 2: the tar is the kind there were Man, this is
Speaker 2: like good tar. Like yeah, this is like Chapel Hill
Speaker 2: tar heel. This is why they're called this right right.
Speaker 2: We were actually importing it from Chapel Hill. They were
Speaker 2: People's Republic of Chapel Hill. So you know you're getting
Speaker 2: a good benefit. Use use what is the promo code
Speaker 2: Hayes one hundred to check out why is your name
Speaker 2: on it? I started the company you've been bought out.
Speaker 2: I bought all the shares.
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, hostile takeover all right. Should have seen
Speaker 3: that coming.
Speaker 1: So anyway, like and and some of the stories I've
Speaker 1: heard you said from Fayetteville. There's one I try to
Speaker 1: remember which county, and the Triad was hammering people too.
Speaker 1: And wait, don't even get me started on Wake County.
Speaker 1: Wake County when one of the early people, I.
Speaker 2: Was about to say, Wake County has also had like
Speaker 2: a big increase air. I know my mortgage payment has
Speaker 2: gone up because of it.
Speaker 5: Stupid. What are they doing with it?
Speaker 9: What do they do?
Speaker 3: And this is the thing too, like I saw I
Speaker 3: heard Kyle and News say that sixty six people moved
Speaker 3: to North Carolina every year. Was it the Triangle every day?
Speaker 3: Or was it North? It has to be the Triangle,
Speaker 3: not North because there's sixty six people. Shouldn't that less.
Speaker 1: I understand that there is going to be an additional
Speaker 1: need for services, but a lot of it's factored into
Speaker 1: the total population size.
Speaker 3: You get sixty six new people, the hell are you
Speaker 3: doing raising taxes that much?
Speaker 1: These And it's because these local especially in the larger cities,
Speaker 1: these you know, the county commissioners, the city, county.
Speaker 3: They've all been captured. Man, just chalk full of moonbats.
Speaker 1: That's why some guy can run around probably get elected
Speaker 1: mayor in New York because he's essentially bribing people.
Speaker 3: No, we need to bring tarn and feathering back. These
Speaker 3: those were days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, these people come, you know, and understand it's
Speaker 2: ridiculous right now, Like it's not nothing like when we
Speaker 2: were younger starting out, Like when my rent my first
Speaker 2: apartment in Morehead City was like five hundred dollars, maybe
Speaker 2: it was that much, but.
Speaker 1: Three my rent was three hundred and fifty in Wyoming
Speaker 1: the first summer I came back right from college, and
Speaker 1: I remember I was like three fifty.
Speaker 3: How am I going to afford that? Right?
Speaker 2: And now you've got like kids starting out and the
Speaker 2: rent is like two thousand plus, Like a lot of
Speaker 2: people paying more for rent that I pay for my
Speaker 2: mortgage payment every single month, which is ridiculous. But these
Speaker 2: a lot of these people, and I'm not blaming them necessarily,
Speaker 2: but you know, the people complaining about the rent, or
Speaker 2: the these younger people or people that vote blue where
Speaker 2: every time there's like a bond or something up for election,
Speaker 2: they vote everything on it, and then everything goes up
Speaker 2: because you know, you're the fees of everything are going up,
Speaker 2: and then the people that own the land are like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna raise the price so I can taxes
Speaker 2: on it, and that affects the renters.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I understand if you're a landlord and you're
Speaker 1: just let's say your taxes did go up ninety percent.
Speaker 3: You either got to eat that or pass it along.
Speaker 2: When's the last time and maybe there was one, when's
Speaker 2: the last time that you know one of these in
Speaker 2: Wake Forest was on the ballot and it was not
Speaker 2: or in Wake County was on the ballot and it
Speaker 2: was not voted for it.
Speaker 3: The I don't think they ever.
Speaker 1: I don't think in the fifteen years or whatever I've
Speaker 1: been voting in Wake County, I've probably seen and you
Speaker 1: you as well, we've probably seen twenty bonds.
Speaker 3: If they pass every time I stop doing that, stop voting.
Speaker 3: They're the same bonds for the same things.
Speaker 2: And that's that's the only way I see it. Like,
Speaker 2: every time I see a bond in the ballot, I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is gonna make everything go up, and I'm tired
Speaker 2: of everything going up. Someone to vote no every time.
Speaker 3: And they're all like, we had three in a row
Speaker 3: for parks. Are there new parks? Where's the new park?
Speaker 1: I live across the street from apart my house and
Speaker 1: Rally's across the street from a park. I'm not telling you,
Speaker 1: psychos which one it's.
Speaker 3: It's it's been the same. I think they redid the
Speaker 3: bathrooms a few years ago. It's just it's just there's
Speaker 3: a field there, people go play. There's a school nearby.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the kids come over and do really loud things
Speaker 1: over there, especially at the end of the year, or
Speaker 1: they have like these because they don't want to teach
Speaker 1: them anything. So the last few days school is always like,
Speaker 1: let's bring an amplification system to this park and blasted
Speaker 1: at Casey's house.
Speaker 5: That's what they do.
Speaker 3: But whatever the park. But every year there's a damn
Speaker 3: park bond. What are we doing with it?
Speaker 1: I mean, the only last big renovation of a park,
Speaker 1: not counting the pulling Dick's Park complex in the wake
Speaker 1: Forest area was was what more Square? Where they redid
Speaker 1: more square so they could fit more hoboes in there,
Speaker 1: give more benches to sleep on, and then open a
Speaker 1: hot dog stand that nobody goes to because there's too
Speaker 1: many hobos. You just get panhandled trying to walk. You
Speaker 1: can't even go to marbles without getting panhandled.
Speaker 3: You go to the IMAX. There is that what I
Speaker 3: paid for? I guess ross. They got big.
Speaker 1: They got a big, beautiful new park near your house.
Speaker 1: All that money they took from you?
Speaker 3: Probably not. Now what do you have? You have condos
Speaker 3: that blot out the sun.
Speaker 1: That's what you got, which feasibly should have now pay
Speaker 1: you know, because of the cost of those, should pay
Speaker 1: more into the system if it's based on a percentage.
Speaker 1: So why you gotta go jack everybody else's property taxes?
Speaker 3: No tarn and feathering.
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to be clear, I don't
Speaker 1: want you to physically abduct an elected official and tarn
Speaker 1: feather them, but I want you to think.
Speaker 3: It's a good idea. All right, hold on, all right,
Speaker 3: Sam's gonna fill us in. Yes, Sam, what's up?
Speaker 10: Hell?
Speaker 5: Anything I can do?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're on the air, sir. You go right ahead.
Speaker 9: Hey, Hey, Casey, how are you this morning?
Speaker 3: I'm angry. I want to turn feather people, but not really,
Speaker 3: so I'm with you, dude.
Speaker 9: So you ask where the money goes this year when
Speaker 9: there wasn't enough money to fund our schools in the budget.
Speaker 9: There's a dog pound gonna be built out on Auburn
Speaker 9: Nightdale Road. Eight thousand square feet dog school for a
Speaker 9: dog pound and one hundred and ten acres.
Speaker 3: You say you say you said dog point. Do you
Speaker 3: mean an actual dog pound?
Speaker 9: Sir? A dog pound on class A what normally would
Speaker 9: you know? You'd see a food line and a retail
Speaker 9: shopping center. They're going to put a fifty eight thousand
Speaker 9: pound retail dogtown.
Speaker 6: Jeez.
Speaker 1: I've been to the Wake County Animal Shelter and I
Speaker 1: understand the size limitations there. I'm assuming it's an expansion
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 9: Sure, and normally the community would respond by increasing the
Speaker 9: size of the facility and they'd go put it on
Speaker 9: the landfill where it belongs. But this is grade age
Speaker 9: retail space, and they're going to put this They perceived
Speaker 9: the dog pound is what should be a retail almost
Speaker 9: entertainment district, so people can come and visit the two
Speaker 9: hundred and sixty five dogs that live there.
Speaker 3: Can we dip elected officials in like a beef broth
Speaker 3: and throw them in there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hear you did okay, thank you much.
Speaker 3: That'd be a way too good, Beef Broth. Thanks for
Speaker 3: the call there, I saw it.
Speaker 1: There was another stat in the news yesterday that the
Speaker 1: average first time home buyer age is about to eclipse forty.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. The average age of first time home buyer
Speaker 1: in the US is soon going to be.
Speaker 3: Forty years old. And I think it's actually higher, AS's
Speaker 3: like forty one or something. What are we doing? What
Speaker 3: are we doing? Cjy, what's up?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 10: Yes, sir, do you guys talk about tax increases in
Speaker 10: Franklin County. I have a buildings to be assessed at
Speaker 10: two hundred and sixty thousand. They just reassessed it at
Speaker 10: one point five to eight mil.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well, the people would tell you to quit
Speaker 1: whining because you have all that equity now, sir.
Speaker 9: Well, and they did.
Speaker 10: I called and I expressed my concern and the lady
Speaker 10: said that's just how it is. And I said, man,
Speaker 10: I'm not trying to be rude or anything, and I
Speaker 10: hope you don't take my frustration personally, but this is ridiculous.
Speaker 10: And she says, sir, I live and I work here
Speaker 10: in this tax office, and I'm not happy either. And
Speaker 10: I said, where's all the money going? Because you know,
Speaker 10: you know how people talk about these tax increases, they
Speaker 10: are supposed to help our schools. Well, what about this
Speaker 10: this lottery thing where all these billions of dollars are
Speaker 10: raised for our schools and we don't get one penny
Speaker 10: of it?
Speaker 3: Think about Well that's not true, sir. I think I
Speaker 3: read that they would get between three and five percent
Speaker 3: of it. So it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 10: Hey, man, I want to get into the lottery business.
Speaker 10: You and I will split the difference.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well yeah, I'm already in the tar and feather
Speaker 3: business or very busy there.
Speaker 10: I like that too.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you for your time, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You have yourself a good one. Yeah, it's just I mean,
Speaker 3: there's I don't know, now, there is a way to
Speaker 3: do this, right, There is a way to do this,
Speaker 3: and it works like this. And I remember cities in
Speaker 3: Minnesota used to do their budgets this way, and I thought, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: well that actually makes sense because it would guard against
Speaker 3: rapid tax increases because you know, it's not just one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's gonna be situations where a piece of particular piece
Speaker 3: of property becomes much more valuable because I don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe there's a new road that's going to provide access,
Speaker 3: maybe they run utilities there and that increctly, and I
Speaker 3: understand all of that, but the way it works like this,
Speaker 3: So the city would say, all right, we need one
Speaker 3: hundred million to run the city. Okay, we need a
Speaker 3: hundred million, and let's say and just hypothetically, let's say
Speaker 3: you need a hundred million and he got a hundred residents.
Speaker 3: I know that's insane, but everybody's liability to be what
Speaker 3: a million dollars? Okay, I just I mean, you're trying
Speaker 3: to use easy numbers.
Speaker 1: Let's say that the value, and then it's assessed based
Speaker 1: on the value of your property. So if you're home,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a million for everybody, because one guy's
Speaker 1: house is worth twice as much, so he's got tys
Speaker 1: twice as much tax liability. However, the next year, if
Speaker 1: the value of everyone's home goes up, but you still
Speaker 1: only need one hundred million to run the city, your
Speaker 1: taxes really don't go up because you're paying an allocated
Speaker 1: percentage based on your property, and if everybody's property went
Speaker 1: up fifty percent wouldn't adjust your taxes. That's not how
Speaker 1: we do it, because then you can't shoehorn in a
Speaker 1: bunch of giant increases. So then I get emails from
Speaker 1: people going, they're going to raise my county property tax
Speaker 1: ninety percent. It's already insane that you get county property
Speaker 1: tax on your car. Just a money suck. And I
Speaker 1: appreciate the changes at the state level, but something's got
Speaker 1: to give at the county and local levels, especially if
Speaker 1: you live in a community that is a high demand
Speaker 1: community where people are moving in, moving in, moving in,
Speaker 1: and you know, Raley be a good example of that.
Speaker 1: Blowing up, just absolutely blowing up.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: All right, Oh we're on the comrades today. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: raced agic from the Wetherschad. We try to figure that out. So, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know the same thing.
Speaker 3: Oh the whole reason we're gonna be on the comrades.
Speaker 3: But then the thing didn't happen, and it's a whole thing.
Speaker 4: Oh I just dialed. I was like an autopiled that.
Speaker 4: I didn't even think. We'll wait yesterday and the day
Speaker 4: before we were on the phone and the science right, yeah, well.
Speaker 1: We had a U we had we had one of
Speaker 1: our national broadcasters was using our building, so they needed
Speaker 1: uh what you normally call in and then they.
Speaker 3: Didn't show up or something, so yeah, good. Fortunately I
Speaker 3: had to get up Ross, I had to get up
Speaker 3: this morning. You're up this morning.
Speaker 5: So yeah, we're all so lucky. So no, not so
Speaker 5: lucky at all.
Speaker 3: All right, what's going on? Give us something to be
Speaker 3: happy about this weekend? Because I'm just angry today, So yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it improves as time goes by. May have
Speaker 4: to deal with some severe weather today west to east.
Speaker 4: Let's just say try it first because the storms are
Speaker 4: coming from the west, and let's make that timeframe from
Speaker 4: about noon on depends on how far west you go
Speaker 4: and rolling east through this evening, so it's gonna be
Speaker 4: quick moving. So only in a couple hours where you'll
Speaker 4: be threatened by severe weather. Most of us are in
Speaker 4: a slight risk. Could be some strong damaging winds, some hail,
Speaker 4: maybe an isolated tornado, so just be on your guard
Speaker 4: this afternoon. Could be some rough weather around. Watch out
Speaker 4: of the downpours too. They could sell you on the roadways.
Speaker 4: Upper seventies to low eighties. Showers and thunderstorms diminished early
Speaker 4: tonight and then clearing some sun and clouds tomorrow, maybe
Speaker 4: a stray shower storm upper seventies, slight chance of an
Speaker 4: afternoon shower on Sunday, So we slowly start improving each
Speaker 4: day through the weekend. Sunday's high close to eighty degrees.
Speaker 4: Early next week through about Wednesday, actually look a real
Speaker 4: nice around here with plenty of sun and could start
Speaker 4: seeing temperatures inch up toward ninety degrees, So case a
Speaker 4: little rough weather to deal with, likely shower storms that
Speaker 4: may be severe today, and then I think slowly will
Speaker 4: start improving tomorrow, just a little rain around even less
Speaker 4: on Sunday, and temperatures then early next week start to
Speaker 4: come up and start feeling like summertime as we get
Speaker 4: into meteorological summer on Sunday, so that starts Lantic hurricane
Speaker 4: season starts.
Speaker 3: Have your own summer, Yeah, own summer.
Speaker 5: Thanks, Yeah, we are, we'd like to think.
Speaker 3: So anyway, that's it all right, you know, Ross and
Speaker 3: are going to make up your own seasons, and you
Speaker 3: will make you abide by those.
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, what do you want to do.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, you've got looks right, so you've got you
Speaker 4: kind of abide by books fall spring's.
Speaker 6: Kind of.
Speaker 3: Get thirteen months now?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, got it all right?
Speaker 1: I got a roll, Thank you Ross. What is every
Speaker 1: man's worst nightmare in a bathroom? Go into a bathroom
Speaker 1: and this happens to you? What is top three nightmare
Speaker 1: fuel that can happen to ADU in a restroom?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're sitting down and something like bites it off.
Speaker 3: That story.
Speaker 1: Next, when you go in to use the bathroom, you
Speaker 1: look in the toilet first, right or is that not normal?
Speaker 3: And that's just me? Don't you kind of look see
Speaker 3: what's going on in there?
Speaker 2: Like every time?
Speaker 3: Every time mostly just like did somebody not flush?
Speaker 1: What's going on here? Make sure there's water in there?
Speaker 1: You check the toilet sea position if it's the middle
Speaker 1: of the night. This dude, but I think he will
Speaker 1: going forward. They oh, they don't identify him. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess he didn't technically do anything illegal. A thirty eight
Speaker 1: year old man was using the bathroom when all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he said, he felt a sudden, sharp pain
Speaker 1: and looked down, only to discover an eleven foot python's
Speaker 1: jaws clamped around his business. I guess maybe he thought
Speaker 1: it was a mouse or something. I don't know, so
Speaker 1: the python is fully clamped around that, at which point
Speaker 1: he said he started yelling for his wife, who called
Speaker 1: emergency services and then came into the bathroom and wrestled
Speaker 1: the snake to try to free it from her husband's
Speaker 1: at which point the thirty eight ro man is said
Speaker 1: to have passed out from the pain and woke up
Speaker 1: to find emergency services arriving, and that his wife had
Speaker 1: tied a rope around the snake's head to keep it
Speaker 1: from slithering away.
Speaker 3: That's love, man, dude, your wife is uh, she's that's a.
Speaker 3: That's a. That's that's wifey.
Speaker 2: Materials say he married a badass.
Speaker 1: Cac O Day Radio program our number three Happy Friday,
Speaker 1: and even though it was you know, short and week
Speaker 1: with just four days, luckily the news cycle was able
Speaker 1: to pack.
Speaker 3: As much as as much insanity as possible. So to
Speaker 3: help us go through some of that and we WI
Speaker 3: come in Pete Calender middays w B T joining us.
Speaker 3: How you doing, sir, I'm doing okay.
Speaker 8: How are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry We're going to have to start this or
Speaker 1: I kind of make you mad again. But just to
Speaker 1: recap last week, we talked about the people the fraud
Speaker 1: with the Paycheck Protection Act.
Speaker 3: Right, we have that story.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you died.
Speaker 3: You were explaining how angry it made you for very
Speaker 3: good reason. If you want to recap that before I
Speaker 3: make you angry again.
Speaker 8: Oh do you want me?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, just recap in case people didn't hear what
Speaker 3: the what the prize is?
Speaker 8: Yeah, before you're you're you're like specifically inducing the anger
Speaker 8: by making me recap. Okay, it's what we do.
Speaker 3: We do talk radio. We're here to make.
Speaker 10: Okay fair enough.
Speaker 8: Yes, So we have a Charlotte City council woman elected
Speaker 8: in her first term in twenty twenty three, and last
Speaker 8: week she was indicted a little bit over a week ago,
Speaker 8: I guess. She was indicted by federal grand jury for
Speaker 8: fraudulently filing applications for COVID loans like the PvP the EIDL,
Speaker 8: And that occurred before she was on council and before
Speaker 8: she ran for election, And so she got indicted along
Speaker 8: with her two daughters who are adults, and they all
Speaker 8: filed basically identical paperwork, and they cited documents like Schedule
Speaker 8: CRS tax forms that were never actually filed with the IRS.
Speaker 8: So they just fabricated some scheduled c forms and after
Speaker 8: she was indicted, she claims she's completely innocent, and when
Speaker 8: she was made aware of the scrutiny of the loans,
Speaker 8: she immediately paid back twenty thousand dollars twenty one hundred
Speaker 8: dollars or twenty one thousand dollars, So that means obviously
Speaker 8: that she has nothing to hide, although when she called
Speaker 8: her press conference claiming that only an innocent person would
Speaker 8: do that and sit and answer questions, she then refused
Speaker 8: to answer a whole bunch of questions. She appeared on
Speaker 8: I guess it would have been Friday in Setal Court
Speaker 8: for her arraignment on bond. She was given an unsecured
Speaker 8: bond and could not then resist telling the media on
Speaker 8: the way out the door that she is not going
Speaker 8: to resign. The people voted for her and she sees
Speaker 8: no reason to step aside because she paid it back
Speaker 8: and that's what an innocent person would do, and a
Speaker 8: third party had filled out those forms, not her. She
Speaker 8: did not identify the third party. But then she got
Speaker 8: in her car and took off, and then there was
Speaker 8: a town hall meeting. Actually I think it was Yeah, Wednesday.
Speaker 8: It was already pre planned. She appeared, yes, in her
Speaker 8: district three, and she appears at the town hall, and
Speaker 8: quite surprisingly, not a single person who came to the
Speaker 8: town hall had anything to ask or say about the indictment.
Speaker 8: That's weird, right, Oh, I forgot to mention this woman
Speaker 8: also served time in federal prison back in the ninety
Speaker 8: for fraud.
Speaker 3: Okay, so a pattern, some would say, there might be
Speaker 3: a pattern there.
Speaker 8: I will.
Speaker 1: We talked about that last week. Yes, I did not
Speaker 1: realize how amateur hour it was. Oh yeah, she's not
Speaker 1: even putting real numbers up. I got three stories in
Speaker 1: my stack today. I don't even know where to start.
Speaker 1: Let me start with this. The Department of Justice charged
Speaker 1: six individuals, including a USDA employee, for and this number
Speaker 1: is insane.
Speaker 3: All right, you're gonna think I'm made. You think that
Speaker 3: I'm getting I'm reading it wrong.
Speaker 1: The the food stamp fraud, which the DOJ estimates amassed
Speaker 1: nearly sixty six million dollars in fraudulent transactions, basically required
Speaker 1: her and her cohorts to create one hundred This is
Speaker 1: what is alleged create one hundred and sixty unauthorized ebt terminals.
Speaker 1: She would then issue essentially fraudulent EBT cards. They'd go
Speaker 1: run them through the terminals. The terminal then would get
Speaker 1: reimbursed as the program did. And they've been doing this
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen and it is now only coming to light.
Speaker 3: That's sort number one. That's story number one. Story number two.
Speaker 1: The Trump administration is expected to pause Job Corps, claiming
Speaker 1: there is nearly two billion dollars in wasteful or fraudulent
Speaker 1: spending within that And a Raleigh pastor was just indicted
Speaker 1: for a half million dollars of the PP the loan
Speaker 1: fraud with the COVID dollars.
Speaker 3: So like, in a way, this woman could have done more.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Tiajuana Brown, that's her name, is Charlotte City council woman.
Speaker 8: And that's not a misspeak. It's Tia Wanna but not
Speaker 8: spelled like the city. Yeah, she seems downright restraint in
Speaker 8: her alleged fraud compared to those other examples. But here's
Speaker 8: the thing, and she doesn't I guess understand this from
Speaker 8: maybe nobody has told her, is that the FEDS make
Speaker 8: it a point to crack down harder on elected officials
Speaker 8: because versus private citizens, because of the corrosive effect that
Speaker 8: it has in the society when people who are elected
Speaker 8: to public office engage in this kind of behavior. And
Speaker 8: to date, I am not aware of a single Democrat
Speaker 8: colleague on city council, at the county level, any Democrat
Speaker 8: Party officials, state Democrat Party officials, Not a single person
Speaker 8: has come out and said that she needs to resign
Speaker 8: her seat. Nobody, which is that.
Speaker 3: Would be racist. I saw people on Twitter saying that
Speaker 3: she should not have to resign because it would be racist,
Speaker 3: which they didn't back up why it would be racist
Speaker 3: other than she's not, I guess, but.
Speaker 8: So well, and and that's and that's part of the
Speaker 8: issue here. I mean, the Charlotte City Council is nine
Speaker 8: Democrats and eleven out of eleven members, and all of
Speaker 8: those Democrats are in fact black, So any Democrat colleague
Speaker 8: of hers, those and there are there are some on
Speaker 8: the council that don't agree with her, that that vote
Speaker 8: against hers. There's a you know, two different blocks of
Speaker 8: the Democrat voters based or Democrat council members that vote
Speaker 8: against each other and such. And there are two Republicans
Speaker 8: who are basically after thoughts, but they can they can
Speaker 8: you know, swing votes, if the if the blocks are
Speaker 8: sufficiently evenly divided, so it's not it's not at all racist.
Speaker 8: And this is another example. You use the word racist
Speaker 8: for any kind of criticism of a black elected official,
Speaker 8: and the word then loses its power. In fact, there
Speaker 8: was an open letter written by a local an activist
Speaker 8: in her district, Robin Emmons, that went the viral in
Speaker 8: the Charlotte area where she outlined all of the problems
Speaker 8: from Tijuana Brown to our sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden,
Speaker 8: where nothing is ever his fault. And then there you know,
Speaker 8: the police chief payout on the Charlotte City Council. All
Speaker 8: of this stuff going on, and this is this is
Speaker 8: eroding confidence in you know, among the public. And you
Speaker 8: know she said that, uh, you know, things need to change.
Speaker 8: People need to hold themselves more accountable and be you
Speaker 8: are held to a higher standard as an elected official,
Speaker 8: and her colleagues should be holding her to a higher standard. Uh,
Speaker 8: Robin Emans, the author of that open letter is a
Speaker 8: black female and a food activist and farmer in the district.
Speaker 8: And well she's yeah, so she raises crops and then yeah,
Speaker 8: she's a farmer raises crops and then created this activism
Speaker 8: enterprise around getting fresh produce into underserved communities in the
Speaker 8: Charlotte area. Or they donate and you've got a whole
Speaker 8: bunch of farmers that then uh, you know, give portions
Speaker 8: of their yields to the local schools or food or
Speaker 8: food banks.
Speaker 3: And WHATNOTT has a bad you know, as a negative
Speaker 3: connotation a lot of times. Okay, I'm done with that.
Speaker 8: Good, right. So yeah, so she so here's the person
Speaker 8: who's actually trying to you know, be the change and
Speaker 8: to solve some problems and such. And then she looks
Speaker 8: over and sees, you know, this convicted felon who is
Speaker 8: elected to the Charlotte City Council and is now indicted
Speaker 8: for another fraud. And she's like, I'm not going to
Speaker 8: resign and my and she keeps saying, my colleagues stand
Speaker 8: with me, They're supporting me, and I see no evidence
Speaker 8: of that. But I haven't seen any evidence of them
Speaker 8: saying anything to the effect that she needs to step down,
Speaker 8: Like where is our chamber of commerce? Where or our
Speaker 8: business leaders? This stuff has an impact on the brand
Speaker 8: of Charlotte. And when you see the types of stories
Speaker 8: that are coming out over the last you know month,
Speaker 8: This is this is not helpful in recruitment and retention.
Speaker 8: People don't want to open businesses in areas that they
Speaker 8: think are corrupt because they don't want to have to
Speaker 8: play that kind of a game in order to be successful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but my reason, and let me just broaden this
Speaker 1: back to where we are. Like all of those stories
Speaker 1: that I just told you were just in the news
Speaker 1: cycle yesterday.
Speaker 3: You know, sixty six.
Speaker 1: Million in food stamp fraud sixty six Do you know
Speaker 1: how hard you have to work to steal sixty six
Speaker 1: million dollars one EBT card at a time? And and
Speaker 1: yesterday I'm greeted with a panel of Democrat reps on
Speaker 1: like CNN talking about how the first thing they're going
Speaker 1: to do if they regain power is investigate Elon Muskin doge.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: And and you know, in a lot of in in China,
Speaker 1: they just executed a CEO for stealing what fifty million
Speaker 1: In the Philippines, they're probably going to execute that woman
Speaker 1: who owns all owns all the land there.
Speaker 3: She's like one of the biggest private landowners.
Speaker 1: She was doing fraud. They're going to execute her. They
Speaker 1: accused her of stealing like a billion dollars. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that's what we need to do. I'm just pointing
Speaker 1: out that everywhere I turn now we're actually getting into
Speaker 1: some indictments. It shows you how easy it is to
Speaker 1: absolutely fleece the system. And people would argue, well, no,
Speaker 1: they're just getting caught now. They were they would if
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was in there. I wasn't in there.
Speaker 3: I don't think these people would be getting caught.
Speaker 8: No. No, because and this is one of the it's
Speaker 8: one of the great ironies that the people who advocate
Speaker 8: the most and the loudest for these types of programs
Speaker 8: to help people are the same people who are the
Speaker 8: least interested in rooting out the waste and abuse and
Speaker 8: the fraud that undermines the very purpose of the programs
Speaker 8: that they advocate for. You would think that the ones
Speaker 8: who say we need to expand snap benefits, right, You
Speaker 8: would think those people would be the most fiscally prudent
Speaker 8: to make sure every single dollar went to the people
Speaker 8: that they are intensively trying to help with the program.
Speaker 8: But they are actually the least interested people in it,
Speaker 8: which gets to the psychology behind the the advocating of
Speaker 8: these types of programs in that the people who are
Speaker 8: the most vocal about this, they don't really get their
Speaker 8: dopamine hits and their feelings of self satisfaction. They don't
Speaker 8: get that from actually helping the people. They get it
Speaker 8: from knowing that other people hear them say I want
Speaker 8: to help other people. So whether or not people are
Speaker 8: helped is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is do
Speaker 8: people think that I am an advocate to help them?
Speaker 1: And and and will the willingness to do stuff in
Speaker 1: assume like the audacity to think you could get away
Speaker 1: with that, the audacity of that administrator or I guess
Speaker 1: now former administrator at UNC Charlotte.
Speaker 3: We've seen a bunch of videos like this for those of.
Speaker 1: You who don't know the story is on video bragging
Speaker 1: about how they're going to play word games so that
Speaker 1: DEI stuff can continues, right, Yeah, we've seen a few
Speaker 1: of these.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was an undercover video released by Accuracy in
Speaker 8: Media or AIM and I don't know when it was recorded,
Speaker 8: but yeah, I mean the USC system supposedly right past
Speaker 8: policy changes to uproot the whole DEI infrastructure that is
Speaker 8: just you know, spreading like a cancer through these institutions.
Speaker 8: And by the way, not reducing racism, not reducing any
Speaker 8: of these problems, they actually make them worse. And that's
Speaker 8: according to Harvard's own research on this stuff. So they
Speaker 8: were told to stop doing it, and lo and behold,
Speaker 8: shocker of shocks that the people who are doing this
Speaker 8: kind of activism work inside these institutions. They simply go covert.
Speaker 8: They do a rebrand of the office. Oh, we totally
Speaker 8: closed our DEI office unc. Charlotte had three different offices
Speaker 8: for DEI Craft and so they alway closed in down
Speaker 8: and we reassigned like all these people. Yeah, but those
Speaker 8: people haven't changed their ideology or their mission, right. They
Speaker 8: are activists, and so they are attempting to work within
Speaker 8: the institutions in order to tear them down and rebuild
Speaker 8: the utopian vision of whatever the hell that looks like.
Speaker 8: But I'm going to go out on a limen suggest
Speaker 8: it's probably a little bit Marxist. And lo and behold,
Speaker 8: they caught one of these women on video saying that
Speaker 8: this is what she is doing. We're just not using
Speaker 8: these words. We're going to finesse the language and we'll
Speaker 8: just be working covert. She literally says that, and she
Speaker 8: is now out of a job. And according to aim
Speaker 8: accuracy and media, they have been running these types of
Speaker 8: ops in schools all across the state. So Charlotte, So
Speaker 8: everybody make fun of UNC Charlotte today, But tomorrow or
Speaker 8: next week they are going to be other schools that
Speaker 8: get busted for this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I remember the number out of the Chapel Hill,
Speaker 3: the number of offices they had, And I remember thinking
Speaker 3: it was a typo.
Speaker 9: They a zero?
Speaker 3: What happened here? What's what's going on?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: And and and by the way, these are the same
Speaker 3: geniuses that, when it is actually time for them to
Speaker 3: serve the public, come up with things like this. So
Speaker 3: I got two minutes.
Speaker 1: Hypothetically, Pete, let's say that you had a convenience store
Speaker 1: where about once a week, somebody'd rob it and murder somebody.
Speaker 3: Right, probably bad? Right, Yeah, I'd be a bad How
Speaker 3: would you stop that?
Speaker 8: I would arm all of my employees at the convenience store,
Speaker 8: and right.
Speaker 3: So you close the store and ban people from going there. Right,
Speaker 3: So there's no, no, that's no.
Speaker 8: That's a terrible idea, because then I wouldn't have a business.
Speaker 1: Wait, isn't that how you guys are solving your bush?
Speaker 1: Why are all the bus depots psychopath breeding graps? By
Speaker 1: the way, every every town's like that, the one in Winston,
Speaker 1: the one in Raleigh. They're all like crazy is everywhere.
Speaker 1: So so they have a safety problem there, and rather
Speaker 1: than cracking down on the lunatics creating a safety problem,
Speaker 1: they're gonna just close all the businesses.
Speaker 3: Am I reading this?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Correct? Yeah, they're going to so the Charlotte Area
Speaker 8: Transit System or cats. They are telling everybody at the
Speaker 8: transit center, all the little concessionaires and stuff, the little
Speaker 8: businesses like a burger king, whatever you've got, your leases
Speaker 8: are not being renewed. Everybody's going to be out by
Speaker 8: September October because they want to turn it into a
Speaker 8: fair only. Like if you don't have a fare to
Speaker 8: get into the transit center, then you won't be there
Speaker 8: and that'll kind of keep out all the riff rafts
Speaker 8: and such. But so now, if you would like to
Speaker 8: engage in the murdering or in the robbing of people,
Speaker 8: you will have to pay the bus fare of two
Speaker 8: dollars and twenty cents or if you are if you're yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 8: If you are a juvenile, though, you're in luck because
Speaker 8: not only will you probably not get charged as an adult,
Speaker 8: but also the fare is only a buck ten.
Speaker 1: Now, if I don't want to murder, I just want
Speaker 1: to show my private parts to somebody on the bus,
Speaker 1: is it the same fair, same thing?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, same fare. There's no difference, right, if
Speaker 8: you just want to expose yourself, you want to whip
Speaker 8: up on somebody two twenty if you're in a dollar
Speaker 8: ten if you're a kid.
Speaker 1: All right, Pete, been fun, informative. We'll talk next week
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: The story of athleticism a brand new record set, very
Speaker 3: inspirational story. So yesterday was the.
Speaker 1: The championship game for the Minnesota High school girls softball
Speaker 1: and the pitcher, the starting pitcher for the team, was
Speaker 1: also the starting pitcher for the semi final game that
Speaker 1: they just previously played, pitched fourteen straight shutout innings. Just
Speaker 1: remember there's only seven innings in women's softball, So two games,
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, fourteen shutout innings and these were the state
Speaker 1: championship games and they defeated the defending state champs.
Speaker 3: That's amazing, huh. Pretty cool, Huh, it.
Speaker 2: Is pretty amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, I have a question. Oh yeah, which which
Speaker 3: city does does the pitcher play for?
Speaker 2: Oh no, this isn't the first time hearing the story.
Speaker 2: We didn't like prepare this. He just came back with
Speaker 2: break you know, from I did. I just saw the
Speaker 2: I just saw the stat there. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: that's impressive. Unfortunately, Yeah, I've got to ask the question.
Speaker 3: Uh, what's that?
Speaker 9: What was it?
Speaker 2: A dude?
Speaker 3: It's a dude, Yeah, of course it was. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: can tell because one it's a dude, and two, uh
Speaker 3: is throwing a softball underhand at Major League Baseball speed.
Speaker 3: So yeah, can you imagine.
Speaker 2: How frustrating does it have to be if you are
Speaker 2: you know, you're a female athlete and you work and
Speaker 2: you train and you put in the work and.
Speaker 3: You're the best in the stage. You're in the state
Speaker 3: championship game, right, and the bro just comes in and
Speaker 3: just cook you.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Two straight games, two straight games, fourteen innings, shut out,
Speaker 3: not no, nothing, nobody got nothing, nothing, nobody put up
Speaker 3: a run.
Speaker 1: I don't think any advanced past first base. If I
Speaker 1: was really if I remember what I was reading earlier, and.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the answer.
Speaker 1: The schools are just gonna have to refuse to play
Speaker 1: or the kids are I understand. Like you remember that
Speaker 1: girl who walked away from fencing. It was considered probably
Speaker 1: going to be somebody who would compete to go to
Speaker 1: the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've seen a few stories like that, and it's
Speaker 2: always like, I think that's brave and it's commendable to
Speaker 2: be like, I'm not doing this, I'm not participating in
Speaker 2: this lunacy.
Speaker 3: And she's out, she.
Speaker 1: Can't participate in fencing now, Like so it isn't just
Speaker 1: you're not going to be there for that. You have
Speaker 1: to be willing to give up this thing that you're
Speaker 1: very passionate about. Clearly she's passionate if she's among the
Speaker 1: best in the world or potential has the potential to be.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, after if you're the team who now has
Speaker 1: to play that team for the championship and you just
Speaker 1: watched this the semi finals and another team that's among
Speaker 1: the best in the state couldn't put the bat on
Speaker 1: the bowl once, how positive are you going into that game?
Speaker 3: And then it just repeated itself.
Speaker 2: At that point, you just got to fight fire with
Speaker 2: fire and go down to Central America and found find
Speaker 2: like a twenty eight thirty two year old dude who's
Speaker 2: just like, you know, like a ringer. Bring in a
Speaker 2: ringer and put.
Speaker 3: Him in a put him in a wig or something,
Speaker 3: and oh that's how Wait, that's how they do.
Speaker 5: It in the Little league.
Speaker 3: So I don't I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, to be fair, I think they only went to
Speaker 1: Cuba to find that kid. What did they What did
Speaker 1: that turn out being?
Speaker 3: I remember there was some twist with that too, and
Speaker 3: I think I think he went and played minor league
Speaker 3: baseball too, So that was pretty good? All right?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, Boston Paul just sent me some what
Speaker 3: is this? Was it Boston Paul's birthday? How old is
Speaker 3: Boston Paul Ross? What do we think?
Speaker 2: I would say? Boston Paul is a spry thirty three
Speaker 2: years young. Oh, thirty three years young.
Speaker 3: So he wasn't an eyewitness to the Boston massacre because
Speaker 3: I had heard that.
Speaker 2: Now, if I'm really saying how I don't know how
Speaker 2: old is Paul? I don't know, like sixty two, sixty.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But he got a bottle of whiskey. He's very excited,
Speaker 1: although I don't know if I believe this is your
Speaker 1: bottle of whiskey. You sent me a picture of First
Speaker 1: of all, it's Trump whiskey. I didn't know there was
Speaker 1: Trump whiskey. Why would you buy whiskey from Trump? I'm serious,
Speaker 1: Yeah I would.
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not. I mean you don't want to
Speaker 2: buy like an alcoholic product, right from from somebody who's
Speaker 2: like stone cold sober his entire life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like how would he know if it's good or not?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that would be my question. No offense,
Speaker 1: but like, what do you know about whiskey?
Speaker 3: I mean, and also Boston Paul, the bottle's full, So
Speaker 3: I don't know if I believe this is yours.
Speaker 2: Now they do, right, They used to make whiskey in
Speaker 2: Tennessee and like dry counties right, Oh are you talking?
Speaker 3: Are you talking about legal or illegal whiskey? Uh?
Speaker 2: There was I remember one of them. I drove through it.
Speaker 2: It was super weird. It was a dry county, but
Speaker 2: that's where they processed and made the whiskey.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I went to a lake in Tennessee
Speaker 1: that was in a dry county. I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: which county it.
Speaker 3: Was except at the lake, and it was for a
Speaker 3: media event.
Speaker 1: It was when I was doing some of the outdoor
Speaker 1: media stuff and they have this they have a conference
Speaker 1: every year and they move it around, and so we
Speaker 1: go there, and so you have a bunch of like
Speaker 1: outdoor media people and he can't buy booze. And so
Speaker 1: the guy who owned the marina where we were all
Speaker 1: kind of staying, like we were on houseboats would go.
Speaker 3: He'd go and like he'd go to where he could
Speaker 3: get it, and he would he would come back with
Speaker 3: truckloads of booze, which was a horrible idea because then
Speaker 3: everyone would get hammered and be jumping off the houseboats
Speaker 3: and stuff. And I'm like, all right, I kind of
Speaker 3: understand why it's dry here, but I want to say
Speaker 3: they made whiskey in that county too, So I think
Speaker 3: I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 3: but uh yeah. So all right, so there's Trump whiskey
Speaker 3: or what's it called, forty five forty seven?
Speaker 1: See what they did with the numbers there? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: you have to let me know if it's good. But again,
Speaker 1: I you know, how would Trump know if it's good?
Speaker 5: Guy?
Speaker 3: I don't drink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at it, add a google it. Jack Daniels
Speaker 2: is made in a dry county.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, all right, what's the what's the county name?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 2: Produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Located in Moore County, Moore County, Okay, Yeah, this was
Speaker 3: it wasn't It wasn't near Lynchburg. I can't remember where
Speaker 3: it was. It was so many years ago. But and
Speaker 3: I remember one of the dudes did not make the
Speaker 3: clearance on the houseboat and his leg banged off of it.
Speaker 3: And that was the whole thing. But he had drink
Speaker 3: so much.
Speaker 1: I don't think he cared. So there's that as well.
Speaker 1: All right, real quick, couple of things here, Well, this
Speaker 1: show is just flying by.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: Former First Lady Michelle Obama said that a woman's ability
Speaker 3: to grow a human life is quote the least of
Speaker 3: what her reproductive system is for. Then what's it for?
Speaker 3: What it's it's called? What it's called the re productive ross?
Speaker 1: Would you look up see what the word reproductive means
Speaker 1: 'ros's going to google that because I feel like it
Speaker 1: may tip us off as to what the system might
Speaker 1: be good for or used for.
Speaker 3: Sorry, the phone with somebody very important. Would you say, oh, oh,
Speaker 3: is it Boston Paul? Is he sober or not? All right,
Speaker 3: we'll check in a moment. So Michelle Obama said that
Speaker 3: a woman's reproductive system and her ability to grow life
Speaker 3: is quote the least of what a reproductive system is.
Speaker 3: For a system called a reproductive system meaning to reproduce
Speaker 3: some would say life. The author said that the frustrating
Speaker 3: thing is the issue has been reduced to a question
Speaker 3: of choice. I'm not going to read all over garbage.
Speaker 3: What a dumb statement.
Speaker 1: By the way, have you seen her podcast numbers are
Speaker 1: like six or seven percent of what her first episode was,
Speaker 1: So that thing's tank and thankfully all right, So if
Speaker 1: a woman's reproduct active system is not primarily for reproducing life,
Speaker 1: then I don't know what the hell it's for.
Speaker 3: But you did to bring on some obg y n
Speaker 3: who said.
Speaker 5: What is it for you?
Speaker 1: So they don't even say what it's for, then it
Speaker 1: was basically just an abortion topic. But and even even
Speaker 1: if you talk about the cyclical monthly thing, that is
Speaker 1: an offshoot of a woman's body wanting to produce life,
Speaker 1: not a woman full disclosure, but I'm pretty sure that's
Speaker 1: how it works, all right, real quick, Boston Paul. He
Speaker 1: probably has some insight here. Yes, Boston Paul, what's up?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: My birthday's right after yours, and you, you know, you
Speaker 6: hate on all the kids and everything because they didn't
Speaker 6: call and wish you a happy birthday. I did wish
Speaker 6: you a happy birthday, but you didn't acknowledge it.
Speaker 3: As I don't acknowledge it.
Speaker 6: Well, you get on the radio and you were full
Speaker 6: of hate saying nobody wished me a happy birthday.
Speaker 3: Let me let me just get to the point here
Speaker 3: because I gotta do weather here in a moment. Are
Speaker 3: you gonna get together with girl buddies and throw tea
Speaker 3: in the harbor?
Speaker 5: Again?
Speaker 3: What are you doing to celebrate?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well why not? Wake We got better stuff than that.
Speaker 3: The throwing a hot one, Well, you're not gonna throw.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna throw the whiskey. I'm assuming have you
Speaker 3: tried Have you tried it?
Speaker 6: I'm ready to crack it open. I just got it.
Speaker 8: It came in.
Speaker 6: That's another funny thing.
Speaker 3: It came in forty five in the morning. Dude.
Speaker 6: It came in the mail. You know it was delivered,
Speaker 6: And you think you have to sign for a bottle
Speaker 6: of booze. Right, it was just left on my doorstep.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, I'm I know where I'm porch pirrating
Speaker 1: now Austin Paul's house. I be an iPad might be booze.
Speaker 3: All right, well you give us you let us know
Speaker 3: if it's any good, Okay, all right, I will all
Speaker 3: right that It just gave him some homework for tomorrow,
Speaker 3: raised agic from the weather channel. Look at that whiskey
Speaker 3: will just show up at your house?
Speaker 8: Bro?
Speaker 5: Why not? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: It could be lost, could be worse, could be better.
Speaker 3: Are you wish?
Speaker 8: Do you like?
Speaker 3: What's your nature of choice?
Speaker 5: Miller lt?
Speaker 3: Okay, you're not really.
Speaker 4: I'll do an old fashion once in a while. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's so much because people come to the house and
Speaker 4: they bring it and we don't drink it, and it's
Speaker 4: just piled up and yeah, there's a lot so.
Speaker 5: Problems, right Robbed, No, No, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Well, all right, well I'll come over and help next time.

Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You prefer outside or where where?
Speaker 4: I prefer outside. I think there's gonna be an opportunity eventually,
Speaker 4: slowly through the weekend. Many of us have been waiting
Speaker 4: for a nice warm up. Maybe it's the lakes or
Speaker 4: even want to get into the pool. It's been a
Speaker 4: little chilly for that. By next week, I think everybody's
Speaker 4: going to be smiling, may not even smiling. This afternoon again,
Speaker 4: dealing with storms coming in west to east from about
Speaker 4: one or two o'clock for the triad and then on
Speaker 4: off toward the east of the Triangle after that through
Speaker 4: this evening, and those storms could pack some wind and hail,
Speaker 4: maybe an isolated tornado with some downpours.
Speaker 5: Through this evening.
Speaker 4: We'll get close to eighty today either side of it,
Speaker 4: depending on where you are, and then tomorrow just some
Speaker 4: isolated showers thluttererstorms.
Speaker 5: As this front gets.
Speaker 4: Through us, it'll be a little breezy. It'll feel different too,
Speaker 4: a little less humidity. Although we're still close to eighty degrees.
Speaker 4: Small chance of an afternoon shower on Sunday, so each
Speaker 4: day better and better sunshine. Other Wise near eighty and
Speaker 4: then early next week this warm up really starts coming
Speaker 4: in here well into the eighties, maybe ninety by Tuesday
Speaker 4: and Wednesday for some spots.
Speaker 5: So hang in there.
Speaker 4: Today severe less chance to rain over the weekend, just
Speaker 4: hit miss stuff and then warmer, drier as we get
Speaker 4: into next week.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, appreciate it. Having good weekend, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk Monday. So see man, all right, and we'll come
Speaker 1: back with Jeff Bellinger next on Jeff. What's happening here
Speaker 1: on our Friday?
Speaker 2: Well, good morning, Casey, and happy Friday.
Speaker 11: Stock market futures were holding their own until about an
Speaker 11: hour ago when President Trump took to social media. A
Speaker 11: posting on the President's platform accuses China violating its trade
Speaker 11: agreement with the US. Mister Trump said, so much for
Speaker 11: being mister NICs guy, and it was so much for
Speaker 11: the futures being barely changed. Right now, they're lower across
Speaker 11: the board. Now, futures are down one hundred ten points.
Speaker 11: Now they have come back a little bit from their
Speaker 11: low because the government just released the monthly personal income
Speaker 11: and consumer spending data. Incomes were up eight tens percent
Speaker 11: in April, spending up two tens percent, and within the
Speaker 11: report as an inflation gage preferred by the Federal Reserve,
Speaker 11: it was up two and a half percent from April
Speaker 11: of last year, and that was the smallest year over
Speaker 11: year advance and four years. So some good news there
Speaker 11: no change last month, and the purchasing power of the
Speaker 11: nation's middle income families. Primerica's household budget for April match
Speaker 11: the March reading, suggesting that average earned income rows just
Speaker 11: enough to offset any increases in the cost of everyday necessities.
Speaker 11: Hyundai is reportedly preparing to hike the prices on all
Speaker 11: vehicles sold in the US. Sources say the South Korean
Speaker 11: automaker is looking to cushion the impact of new tariffs,
Speaker 11: and a one percent across the board increase could go
Speaker 11: into effect as soon as next week. And if you're
Speaker 11: a Disney or Hulu subscriber, Casey, you'll have some new
Speaker 11: perks offers introduced as one offs last year being expanded.
Speaker 11: Disney Plus subscribers will be able to enter contests. Prizes
Speaker 11: will include Disney cruises and tickets to movie premiers. There
Speaker 11: are also discounts from door Dash and other partners, and
Speaker 11: a separate package of perks for Hulu subscribers will be
Speaker 11: available starting Monday.
Speaker 2: Casey, all right, well, having.
Speaker 3: Your weekend, Jeff, we'll chat Monday.
Speaker 2: Okay, enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 5: Talking of Monday, Take care.
Speaker 3: All right there? You go, Jeff Bellander, Bloomberg News. And
Speaker 3: because it wouldn't be a good Friday if we didn't
Speaker 3: have one of these good old Florida Man story.
Speaker 7: Florida Man, Florida Man, just something in the wandery erors
Speaker 7: hand that they should do all that crazy crap. It's
Speaker 7: like the state is one be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere
Speaker 7: else has the Florida Man. It is almost like as

Speaker 3: Nowhere else are you gonna find him?
Speaker 2: They're so used to it they don't mind him. Hooray
Speaker 2: for Florida Man.
Speaker 1: And for this episode, we go to Jacksonville, where police
Speaker 1: say they're looking for a man who walked into a
Speaker 1: Petlands where it's a pet store in on Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 3: I don't know why hold you where it is? Uh
Speaker 3: and uh absconded with a new friend.
Speaker 1: According to police, they have video of the man going
Speaker 1: into the Petland grabbing a ferret that was for sale
Speaker 1: and stuffing it in his shorts. And he's wearing he's
Speaker 1: wearing let's just say the the ferret was profiling in
Speaker 1: the shorts. That's gotta be weird for the officer if
Speaker 1: they catch him. By the way, he should be easy
Speaker 1: to find because he's described in the report as having
Speaker 1: quote a unique mustache, which is a wild understatement. Roster,
Speaker 1: you got a chance to see this guy's picture, I said,
Speaker 1: you know link I have on Okay, tell me if
Speaker 1: that if that is a quote unique mustache, then we'll
Speaker 1: tweet out a link for you as well. According to
Speaker 1: the report, pet store employees said the man quote fondled
Speaker 1: the ferret for quite some time. Set of euphemism.
Speaker 3: What are you doing in there? I'm fondling the ferret.
Speaker 2: Wait, so is that the ferret on his face?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, in his pants? Oh it was in
Speaker 3: his pants. Oh yeah, dude, he would have that's full

Speaker 3: gonna get caught? Also, why are you fondling the ferret?
Speaker 3: And also.
Speaker 1: What if that ferret gets angry that you just stuffed
Speaker 1: it in your shorts? Like, do you have no self

Speaker 2: This gentleman needs to speak to my mother specifically from
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1: Also, and he got the whole faerry you gotta Oh,
Speaker 1: they already stink, so I guess that that's fine.
Speaker 8: But
