WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 If everyone's doing okay this morning, but if you're not 2 00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:05.200 and it's really bad, you should call the show and 3 00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.519 let us know. Not so we can not you know, 4 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.439 not because we want to hear those stories. But if 5 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.439 something's going down and I could save others, massle, that 6 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.480 is our that's our wee bit of public service on 7 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.879 this fine Friday morning, all right. Also coming up on 8 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.559 the show, let's see, well, Pete Callander, he'll be uh, 9 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.679 he'll be calling in from Charlotte. We'll see if that 10 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.359 city's still there. See, I was just looking at I 11 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.320 was just looking at a bunch of pictures this morning, 12 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.719 and then I was reading the Mister Beast pledge. I 13 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.679 don't I don't know that we've talked about the Mister Bee. 14 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.479 We talk about Mister Beast from time to time. Obviously, 15 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.600 I guess if you don't know, dude can probably hear 16 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.280 us right now. But he's in Greenville, and uh, well 17 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.920 he's outside of Greenville, but whatever, so you know you 18 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:06.079 have that North Carolina connection there. I find I'm gonna 19 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.239 date myself some of his videos if I'm not paying 20 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.280 full attention. The jump cuts are too much. I know 21 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.959 I'm old or whatever, but some of them are pretty interesting. 22 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:26.760 I know I'm subscribed. I don't subscribe to any YouTube channels. 23 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.480 But mostly what got me interested in really kind of 24 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.519 following it more is watching these lunatics. Every time he'd 25 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.239 go somewhere and be like, here's a bunch of houses. 26 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.040 Oh he didn't you know, and then just people hate 27 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:47.200 he's got white savior complex. Well, you people are absolute lunatics. 28 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.040 And then obviously what I guess drew us here now 29 00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:02.439 started with the cast member who who decided he is 30 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:08.360 no longer he he is she? And I remember people saying, 31 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.000 you know what, this isn't gonna be good for your channel. 32 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.719 You know you're you're a family channel, and some families 33 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.840 don't want that. I don't know that that ever hurt 34 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.120 his numbers. And frankly, i've seen videos subsequent videos where 35 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:32.120 Chris or whatever, I don't even know what the damn name, 36 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.719 this is how little I pay attention to what's actually 37 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:41.759 going on where that particular cast member is there, and 38 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.400 then they just do like there's so the jumps are 39 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.439 so quick, they'll be on screen for like a half second, 40 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.879 and then it's mister beast back yelling at me about 41 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.120 how there's one hundred people in the in the blender 42 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:55.759 or whatever. They got to find their way out or 43 00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.960 whatever it is, whatever it is, and then it just 44 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.840 turned into an avalanche. Man. And I found myself earlier 45 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.400 this week watching one of the that. You know, there's 46 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.599 a thousand commentary channels on YouTube, and so you know 47 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.680 everyone's probably got one or two that they'll occasionally watch, 48 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.520 you know, Critical Drinkers one that we brought up here 49 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:25.840 on the show, but that's more movie oriented. There's there 50 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.719 is a younger guy who I think does really really 51 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.360 really good research and I don't didn't seem to be 52 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.199 very biased, and I will watch videos of his if 53 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.840 it's on topics we're going to talk about, because it's 54 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.479 like cliffs notes. Man. That's a creator named to Tozy. 55 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.680 I don't know if you the younger dude. I think 56 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.919 he's like America but grew up in Norway or something. 57 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.879 I don't know, but but he he brings the receipts, 58 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.719 so to speak, and a lot of times he talks 59 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.280 about not the Kardashian crap, but actually some of the 60 00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:01.080 more important stories, so you know, stuff like that. And 61 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.199 every single one of the channels was like doing one 62 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:10.240 hour mister beasts takedown, and you had a couple of 63 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.240 former employees running around out there, and it was getting real. 64 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:19.759 It was getting real, and uh, mister donald said that 65 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.480 mister beast, excuse me, what is his Jimmy Jimmy Donaldson, right, 66 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.560 I think it's his actual name. Anyway, he was silent 67 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.199 on all this for over the last week or so, 68 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:35.319 and so people were just feasting and he came out 69 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.519 with a statement, and it is it is. It's pretty 70 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.959 apparent that he went and he got himself one of 71 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.759 these big woke law firms or something. I don't know, 72 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.199 all right, So here is how they're going to fix it, mister. 73 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:54.000 And for those who go, why are you talking about this? 74 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:59.920 This YouTube channel has an impact on the economics of 75 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:07.879 North Carolina that is pretty sizable. So this is more 76 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.720 than a couple of kids in their yard. There are 77 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.000 a lot of people that are employed by this that 78 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.720 are within the sound of my voice. There are a 79 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.439 lot of people that, from an ancillary standpoint, make a 80 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.279 lot of money off this guy and his channel. So 81 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:26.000 I do consider it somewhat important. But you know, all 82 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.040 of those who were mad at him over and then 83 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.560 insert whatever little thing. It was. They started, you know, 84 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.680 bringing out videos of him when he was seventeen, saying 85 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.439 a lot of stuff you shouldn't have said, but he 86 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:42.240 was seventeen. You know, take it for what it's worth. 87 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:44.800 But I don't know. This is the thing that almost 88 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.160 irritates me more because the crux of the videos and 89 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.759 the the takedowns have centered around this cast member who 90 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.120 decided that they were going to transition from man to woman. 91 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.000 Also clearly, and I think it has admitted to some 92 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.040 of this, I don't know if all of it clearly 93 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:15.160 was being very inappropriate with children. If these if these 94 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.639 messages are one hundred percent accurate, and I haven't seen 95 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.120 pushback on the accuracy. I've seen a lot of silence, 96 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.319 and that's you know, that's the problem. And when did 97 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.000 they know? Should they have known? And what's the atmosphere 98 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.519 around there? And then you watch some of the employees 99 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.120 that don't work there anymore, so you are you got 100 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.639 to always take that with a grain of salt. But 101 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.399 they tell a lot of similar stories. Uh more to 102 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.319 Donaldson being aloof I guess or and I think I 103 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.480 know why. As I'm reading through this story, it sounds 104 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.120 like he's trying to do literally everything at once, which 105 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.720 is not a recipe for success. Because of the amount 106 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.959 of money and the amount of money that churns over 107 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.680 there and the in the size of these projects. It 108 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.759 looks like they have now he is for the company 109 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.240 decided to actually hire the people I just assumed that 110 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.720 they had, so he doesn't have to deal with compliance stuff. 111 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.639 He doesn't have to deal with regulatory stuff other than 112 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:16.120 to make sure that advice is followed. Other allegations were contesting, 113 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.680 which is funny because in radio this is a thing 114 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.079 that we have conversations about and then on air, talent 115 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.399 will ignore sometimes because you're you're talking, you're doing, you're 116 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.680 doing you know, you're doing the thing on the air. 117 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.959 A lot of times you're doing it just hey, somebody 118 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.000 put in your ear, like we have these tickets to 119 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.240 give away. Well, you know, as random as that sounds, 120 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.800 where we were giving away tickets for the show at 121 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.040 DPAK on Sunday, we did over the last few days 122 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.680 for Great Gutfeld. The fact is it's very there's a 123 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.279 there is a very thorough outline pattern how we have 124 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.920 to do that right. Certain information we need the If 125 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.920 you were one of the winners. You understand, because we 126 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.879 have a promotions person who talks to you and and 127 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.160 then explains to you if your prize is over a 128 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.040 certain amount of money. We actually have tax stuff we 129 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.040 got to do. Those those are not but like there's 130 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.240 a lot that goes on there. And reading this article here, 131 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.319 this letter that was sent to employees, it like where 132 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.040 where are your where is the support staff that I 133 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.920 guess most companies would have. I assume there's got to 134 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.399 be enough profit there. So let's see here do do do? 135 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.320 I just want to read two parts of it. As 136 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.399 your leader, I take responsibility and I'm committed to continue 137 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.720 to improve and of all my leadership style, I recognize 138 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.360 that I also need to create a culture that makes 139 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.919 our employees feel safe and allows them to do their 140 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.960 best work. See, this isn't what I thought most of 141 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.679 the stuff was about. I mean, other than obviously this 142 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:57.879 allegation that, uh this this one cast member, I look 143 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:05.200 to be having some very inappropriate conversations with children. Donaldson 144 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.879 admitted previously using inappropriate language. Yeah he did. He was 145 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.480 at seventeen or eighteen in that video. But he's not 146 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.679 that old now, what is he? Twenty five? Still you know, 147 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.000 seven high school me and twenty five year old me 148 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.919 or two different people. So I hope that's the case. 149 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:28.399 Let's see. The memo reveals Donaldson has also hired a 150 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.039 law firm quinn I see, I called it. I called it, 151 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:36.960 I called it. Here we go. The memo outlined a 152 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.480 plan to hire a chief financial officer and general counsel. 153 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.360 How does the biggest YouTube channel on the planet not 154 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:50.039 have a lawyer retained or a lawyer on staff. I 155 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.960 just assume there's you know, when you're shooting people out 156 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.200 of a cannon and stuff. I just assume lawyers are 157 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.240 all up in this. It would almost be more cost 158 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.879 effective to have your own. Apparently he did, and the 159 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:05.679 company will offer mandatory training for all employees on say 160 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:12.240 on LGBT, you have missed the boat here the beef 161 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.360 with other than him make saying words when he was 162 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.960 seventeen that he says he now regrets. I didn't get 163 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.240 the I didn't get to read that. There was you know, 164 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.840 there was a lot of gay hatred over at mister Beast. 165 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:32.440 I mean when when Tyson that's the transitioning CASPA. When 166 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.879 when when that story came out, it seemed that everyone 167 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.600 was very supportive. So I don't know that you need 168 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:45.799 manual anddatory annual mandatory training, uh for diversity, equity and inclusion, 169 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.039 But you need annual training for don't sleep with the kids. 170 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.720 How about that? How about just once a year? Look, 171 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.360 every year, Ross and I have to agree not to 172 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:04.159 bribe customs of officials. I'm not making that up. Every 173 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.960 year Ross and I have to take training reminding us 174 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.240 not to bribe customs officials, one of my favorite activities 175 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.720 in the world. But we have to do a little 176 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.919 thing and go Nope, not going to bribe customs officials 177 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.240 this year. Ross, How tempted are you to bribe customs 178 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:21.200 officials every year? 179 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:22.559 I want to go on a trip just so I 180 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.399 can do the bribery. 181 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.480 He just he just wants to. It's just Casablanca homage 182 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.240 kind of thing right where he's in there and he 183 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.519 too is surprised that there is a drinking in this establishment, 184 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.960 and then boom, you slipped the guy to hat a 185 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:40.519 you know, a hundro. Absolutely, but no part of our 186 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:45.519 job requires us not to bribe customs officials. So unfortunately, 187 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.440 while you get to go live the dream, we don't 188 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.200 get to bribe any customs officials. It's part of the job. 189 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.320 So if I have to be reminded every year not 190 00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:00.279 to bribe customs officials, then maybe maybe you could just 191 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.399 remind others on your chair not to try to sleep 192 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:10.440 with kids, which I know is incredibly obvious. But you know, 193 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.720 coming in here with the DEI stuff to ignore the 194 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:19.480 other stuff I think is just going to irritate more people. Anyway, 195 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.039 damn it, I want to go bribe a customs official 196 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.159 right now. See it's like when you're hungry and you 197 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.840 but you're doing okay, and then somebody brings up food. 198 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.480 Now you're extra hungry. This, oh man, that is not 199 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.399 fair anyway. Six nineteen CaCO Day Radio program. Hang on, 200 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.320 if you're a child, if you're a child of the 201 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.960 eighties early nineties, basically the era that Ross and I 202 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:48.679 came up in, that level of freedom will probably never 203 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.840 be achieved by kids again, not in mass you know, 204 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:57.799 in individuals your mileage may vary, but like you know, 205 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:02.720 you you disappear at a dangerous place, and as long 206 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.279 as you're home by dark, whatever you're doing all day, 207 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.519 probably don't want to know about it. Just don't get arrested. 208 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.639 My mom on the weekends before we could drive, would 209 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.799 let us literally walk out of the house into bear 210 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.200 infested woods, go camping for the week, never have to 211 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:24.879 check in. She wanted U back Sunday by noon. That 212 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:29.919 was the bar, right. With that being said. With that 213 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.519 being said, there were times when Mom would get mama 214 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:39.200 bear on stuff. So that's why I don't understand things 215 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.799 like this. Raleigh emergency crews had to do a water 216 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:47.879 rescue of three children in Marsh Creek yesterday. I don't 217 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.720 need to remind you what the creeks look like right now. 218 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:58.799 So the kids now, Mom says she thinks they're out 219 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.960 riding bikes, and then they're like, let's get in the 220 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:04.080 Murder Creek, which is the only way I can describe 221 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.879 most of the creeks. I guess I don't know technically 222 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.399 what Marsh Creek will excay, but they did have a 223 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:12.240 little picture here and it looks like it's rather high. Yeah, yeah, 224 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.799 getting into I guess maybe it was just beat into 225 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.600 me that when there's an unusual level of runoff in 226 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.080 a body of water, even when you're familiar with, don't 227 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:25.080 get in it because all of its attributes have changed. 228 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.039 But yet let's see, they're taking a bike ride through 229 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.399 the forest. They got off the bikes, discovered the creek. 230 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.200 What are they, Magellan where the creek was? Come on, 231 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.639 it's their kids, That's why they're going down there. Two 232 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.320 of the children crossed the creek safely, the others weren't 233 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.039 able to start to slide into the water, you know. 234 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.279 And then you have this stuff and what happens you 235 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:48.919 got to call nine to one one and then the 236 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.519 group of men and women who have to literally put 237 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:57.639 their own lives in peril to make rescues in these instances. 238 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.159 So just like Austin and I are not allowed to 239 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.200 bribe told we're not allowed to bribe officials in custom situations. 240 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.480 And mister b should probably have a you know, don't 241 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.879 try to sleep with the child fans policy. I'm gonna 242 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.240 have to state the obvious on this morning. I may 243 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.279 not be watching it in real time for the most part, 244 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.159 but I'm definitely following it. I don't think there's been 245 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.639 that moment in this Olympics. And when I say that moment, 246 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.000 I mean moments that like stick with you. Whether it's 247 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.080 the Kerry Strug thing. Obviously, you know that that was 248 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.120 a pretty that's a pretty high bar, pretty high from 249 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.080 an iconic moment standpoint. Once you're on the weedies box, 250 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.679 you know you've done it, or you know. The Dream 251 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.080 Team wasn't a moment per se, but it was. It 252 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.399 was a thing. It was, it was the only thing right. 253 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.759 And remember the remember the impetus for why we have 254 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.279 the why we had the Dream Team at all? Do 255 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.240 you know why that that whole change finally came about? 256 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.240 Do you guys remember what prompted the US and the 257 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.919 handful of other countries to work so hard to argue 258 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.440 that it's not fair that we have these amazing players 259 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.519 and yes they did go pro, but what do you 260 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:11.799 want them to do? Shouldn't the best of the best 261 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.360 be there? And that argument due to this way that 262 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.720 we held one. Do you know why that happened? Because 263 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:24.519 the US men's basketball team lost to Russia and people went, ah, 264 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:30.080 hell no, can't lose to Russia, right, and you know 265 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.879 we're still, you know, coming out of the Cold War 266 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.200 kind of stuff there, So that didn't sit right with people. 267 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.600 So that's how we got the Dream Team. That being said, 268 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.080 from there, it should be smooth sailing now, don't get 269 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.320 me wrong, some countries are getting better, and there's a 270 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.879 lot of players in the NBA who are actually from 271 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.840 other countries. So then go back and play for their country. 272 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.279 But you shouldn't have to beat Serbia in the last second. 273 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.360 What are you doing? How is the US men's basketball team? 274 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.799 They were done, they were cooked yesterday. It's it's only 275 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:12.599 through a series of kind of I don't say lucky shots, 276 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.039 because I'll give them, you know, skillless skill right, you 277 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:17.519 still got to be able to get the job done. 278 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.440 But you almost lost to Serbia. 279 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.799 I'm sorry, but our take on this is the correct one, 280 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.839 and I'm not seeing it really anywhere else because you 281 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.960 see the story about how we won yesterday and you either. 282 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.680 And they have to be all younger people who didn't 283 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.279 experience the dream team or don't understand what this country is, 284 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.839 because they're all like greatest sporting event I've ever seen, 285 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.839 greatest game at the Olympics ever, all time classic. Our 286 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.279 guys really turned it up and showed them who's You 287 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.240 should never be in that position to lose to Serbia. 288 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.319 That should never happen. You should be rolling over teams 289 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.559 by thirty points a game, and you should be playing 290 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.880 out every single game. You shouldn't be like you said 291 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.480 earlier in the week, you shouldn't be holding back because 292 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.119 you don't want them to look bad. That is ridiculous. 293 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.400 And the argument, by the way, and the argument people 294 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.119 made is they're managing injuries or the potential for injuries 295 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.319 and all that. If you're up twenty like they were 296 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.799 against what was it Chad or no South Sudan, Right, 297 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:24.079 that's who they almost lost to initially but did be 298 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.720 by twenty something. If you're up twenty, I'll give a 299 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.720 little bit of that. The only reason the US men 300 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.119 are going to the gold medal game is because they 301 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:39.839 were able to score six points in two seconds. Obviously, 302 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:43.559 you know, start stop, start stop. But they won by four. 303 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:51.200 They scored six points in two seconds, so they didn't 304 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.079 need all of them, but they needed half of them. 305 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.000 And you know, I understand that the world has gotten 306 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.960 better at basketball. Cirmparent to the Night to Dream Team, 307 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:03.319 Like I understand the world has come a long way 308 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.720 and they're more focused than the game. Yes, yeah, so 309 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.519 you know what that means. That means we should be 310 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.759 even better as well. There's no excuse that I saw 311 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.240 somebody be like, oh, it looks like Steve Kerr realized 312 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.000 he could put his best players on the floor the 313 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.599 entire game. 314 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.000 You think that whole thing has been you know, I 315 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.839 get I I don't pretend to know enough about basketball 316 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.319 to really get into all of the selections that he's made. 317 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.200 But it doesn't make any sense, like he'll he'll sit 318 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.359 guys for instead of playing everybody and kind of rotating 319 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.240 them in so everyone's fresh every game. He's got some 320 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.559 dude who's just never played, and I don't understand, like 321 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:43.720 a BIB who went off yesterday, he sat on the 322 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.880 previous game and there's not an injury issue, so I 323 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:51.200 don't understand what that dude's doing. Serbia is barely legal. 324 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.960 This is, by the way, this is not me attacking sir. 325 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.039 You know, I happen to have a friend who is 326 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:01.839 from Kosovo. People i'll say Kosovo, but he's literally from 327 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.680 Kosovo and that's how he says it, so I'll give 328 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.000 him that. And you can't even count Kosovo or Kosovo 329 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.119 as part of Serbia anymore because I don't know if 330 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.480 you know, Oh, it's been nicy over there for years, 331 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.160 but the country of Serbia as we know it, minus 332 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.799 the Kosovan Enclave, which is its own thing, is eighteen 333 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:27.599 years old, and for most of it they've been they've 334 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.480 been trying to kill each other. But they got time 335 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:35.200 to almost beat the men's basketball team. Kudos to them. 336 00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.599 I think they do have one NBA player who I'm 337 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:43.240 not super familiar with, but obviously he was their leading scorer. 338 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.519 So Serbia will face Germany and then we got to 339 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.599 play France. You know, France has a couple of NBA players. 340 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.119 It was funny. I saw somebody mention the comment. They 341 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.079 were like, you know what happened was they were losing 342 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.839 and somebody whispered in a Lebron's here, and they were like, 343 00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.440 do you want to go the rest of your life 344 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:03.200 being known as Lebron's. He's like, you can't be Lebron's. 345 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.319 Oh no, that would have been amazing. If there's a 346 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.440 way that we could win and he's still Lebron, they 347 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:12.599 should If if they win, they probably will win, right, 348 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.240 because there's just no mathematical reason for them not. 349 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:17.759 To, Right, it's just to be in that position. It's 350 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.319 not the greatest game ever. It's embarrassing. 351 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.960 You should be Inama playing for France. I think he's 352 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.480 like they have a cut. He's like, he's like the 353 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:32.279 you know, the the new hot thing. So like here 354 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.720 you might you might be able to argue since half 355 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.480 the guys against you play in the NBA, that it 356 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:46.519 should be closed. But still, ah, Serbia eighteen years old? 357 00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.920 How many people they have in Serbia? Like ten? No, 358 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.440 my phone thinks, might say, Serbia. I'm saying the S 359 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.839 word for iPhones, you know, the one. It's getting real annoyed. 360 00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:03.119 Let's see here. Yeah, so reformulated in two thousand and six, 361 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:12.559 so just what eighteen years? Yeah? Your total? All right, 362 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.240 here's the thing. All right, here's how we know you 363 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:20.440 shouldn't lose to this if the country's total gb gbt 364 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.440 GDP is less than the amount of money that Elon 365 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:33.000 Musk has. No, okay, no, you can't lose to less 366 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:39.079 than must wallet. I better find the population here. That's right, 367 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:41.200 we're learning about Serbia this morning. You didn't think you 368 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.880 didn't think that was going to be part of your Friday, 369 00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:50.559 did you? It has six point six million people six 370 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:54.880 point six North Carolina has what ten and a half million? 371 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.359 So if you took less than if you had less 372 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.160 than half the stay about half the state of North Carolina, 373 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.920 of which to draw out of that population to field 374 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.799 a team. They fielded a team that almost beat the 375 00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:15.960 NBA All Star team essentially, So, yeah, don't give me this. 376 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:18.119 Oh we're just trying to play down to you know, 377 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.799 I want to I don't want to embarrass people. Well, 378 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:23.640 obviously you can't control it as easily as you thought. 379 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.599 You're not the Harlem Globe trotters with your choreography, so 380 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.200 you probably you just need don't pull this crap with France. 381 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.319 If you lose to France, uh ross passport revocation or 382 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.279 is that too much? I feel like we got it. 383 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.720 I feel like we take there, but we don't let 384 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:41.920 them in. 385 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.319 I've said this before. I mean, you know, you lock 386 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:46.880 them up into the stille. 387 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:49.240 You guys want to be in the best. You know 388 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.519 what would be more punishing just having to put them 389 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.039 on like the west bank of this of the saying 390 00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:57.240 there and then just deal with the uh pickpockets and 391 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:01.200 obnoxious people trying to sell you stuff. But like you're 392 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.960 chained there so you can't move. That'd be fun, or 393 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.920 we can rotate you from the mistill to there. Okay, 394 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.119 all right, good, So don't lose this when is that 395 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:15.359 game let's see, I mean the US against France for 396 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.240 gold in a dream matchup from the host nation. This 397 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:24.680 is aps thing that's Saturday, so on Saturday, so on 398 00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:29.759 Monday we may be talking about revoking passports or something 399 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.839 I don't know, or you guys can win it. But yeah, 400 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.160 if if you're too young and you're listening to this show, 401 00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:38.279
