Speaker 1: Is June teenth, but we're here because we're doing our
Speaker 1: mountain broadcast. But we did get our holiday. Remember that
Speaker 1: Monday we took off, y'all are mad about Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 1: All Averages and Ross and I are of the same opinion.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are. If you could
Speaker 1: get a day adjacent to a weekend rather than rando
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week, that is a far
Speaker 1: better day off. I mean, that's just a no brainer.
Speaker 1: I don't even know that we should argue that, which
Speaker 1: is why I'm really excited that fourth of July is
Speaker 1: a Friday this year, so yay. And I'm sure many
Speaker 1: of you are too. And you know what, just maybe
Speaker 1: maybe fourth of July weekend, still trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do. Wanna do a little traveling. It's
Speaker 1: a lot cooler up here, just saying, lot cooler up
Speaker 1: in the mountains. Quite pleasant walking around yesterday. I had
Speaker 1: to walk a few blocks for different things I was doing.
Speaker 1: Didn't break a sweat, which is really really nice. So lea,
Speaker 1: let me throw that in the hopper for you. All right,
Speaker 1: Where do I even start this? Where do I even
Speaker 1: start this morning? We'll get to the plane. If you
Speaker 1: have not seen the airplane, I can't play any of
Speaker 1: it for you. I mean I could task Ross with
Speaker 1: dubbing it in, and then four hours from now, when
Speaker 1: he got done bleeping everything, he would have to bleep.
Speaker 1: Then you would just hear a bleep for about four
Speaker 1: and a half minutes, because that's how long this video is.
Speaker 1: So I would encourage you if you would like to
Speaker 1: see it. Don't be around children, don't be around whoever
Speaker 1: employs you unless they're cool, and give that thing a watch,
Speaker 1: because holy hell. A New York artiste.
Speaker 3: Who looks to.
Speaker 1: Be hammered out of her mind. Leanna Perry, a New
Speaker 1: York artist. Oh wait, love, she's more than an artiste.
Speaker 4: She is a.
Speaker 1: Says you read the end of the stoor. Oh well,
Speaker 1: hang on, artist, oh artist and designer. It's kind of
Speaker 1: the same thing. I get. But whatever, so uh and
Speaker 1: and so she's on a Southwest Airline's flight and she
Speaker 1: is she not happy with another female passenger. So this
Speaker 1: is happening at LaGuardia. They're you know, they're on the ground.
Speaker 1: They had just boarded. So in the in the video,
Speaker 1: the video starts with her leaning over the seat to
Speaker 1: attach her hand to the ponytail and hair of the
Speaker 1: wooden because you know how the women's fight, right, So
Speaker 1: she's got this other chicks hair who's who's sitting in
Speaker 1: her seat, not moving, clearly not participating voluntarily in whatever
Speaker 1: this is. And you see four like flight attendants, cabin
Speaker 1: crew people because they're all wearing their Southwest gear.
Speaker 3: You see a couple passengers and.
Speaker 1: They they've got her kind of leaned over the seat
Speaker 1: so that they can zip higher, but she's still holding
Speaker 1: onto this other chick's hair, so they're trying to one
Speaker 1: get her hand and then get them behind her back
Speaker 1: so they can zip higher. And of course police are
Speaker 1: on their way, right because they're but they must not
Speaker 1: have had the door open. I wonder if maybe they
Speaker 1: had pulled away. It doesn't matter. And let me tell
Speaker 1: you this, if you, in any way, shape or form,
Speaker 1: believe in demonic possession, that's a demon bro right. I
Speaker 1: mean the look on her face and then what she's saying.
Speaker 1: She's screaming ugly B word. She then goes on a
Speaker 1: rant because the woman she's assaulting in this video is
Speaker 1: her boyfriend or husband or whatever, is white. And she
Speaker 1: starts screaming, my boyfriend's black. He's black, black black black black.
Speaker 1: Your boyfriend's manhood is two inches. It's embarrassing. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: It's just and it goes on and on and on,
Speaker 1: and then there's f bombs pretty much every sentence, which
Speaker 1: again is why I'm not gonna play any of this
Speaker 1: for you. It would even make sense once you remove
Speaker 1: all the es swearing. Let's see here. Yeah. Port Authority
Speaker 1: police say they responded to a report of an intoxicated passenger.
Speaker 1: The video is on our Twitter account. I tweeted it
Speaker 1: this morning. I believe I said I can fix her.
Speaker 1: That's a lie. I can't fix her. Frankly, I don't
Speaker 1: think she's fixable from what I just saw in those
Speaker 1: four and a half minutes.
Speaker 3: But you be the judge.
Speaker 1: So if you go to our Twitter account at Casey
Speaker 1: on the Radio, you can watch. I'm gonna put this
Speaker 1: up there. Top five airplane meltdowns. I've ever seen top three. Maybe,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you'd be the judge. You know, the
Speaker 1: the he's not real chick, that wasn't violent, so almost
Speaker 1: it's got to go kind of on a different scale,
Speaker 1: don't you know what I'm saying like she wasn't being violent.
Speaker 1: This chick is straight up being violent and just going off.
Speaker 1: I mean just going off. Now, let's see here. So
Speaker 1: port authority responded to report of an intoxicated passenger at
Speaker 1: La Guardia. They ended up taking her to the hospital.
Speaker 1: They just figured out she was just drunk out of
Speaker 1: her mind, I guess, and then off to the uh,
Speaker 1: off to the pokey you go. I love the statement
Speaker 1: the customer involved was removed and denied boarding. You think
Speaker 1: you just wheeled her away on a gurney and then
Speaker 1: now she's in lockups. So uh anyway, so check yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you get a moment, go ahead and check that out. It'll,
Speaker 1: you know, and it'll make you feel a lot better
Speaker 1: about any dumb stuff you've ever done, uh, when you've
Speaker 1: had a few too many, Because that right there, this
Speaker 1: is this is uh, this is over the top. And
Speaker 1: I can't tell because she keeps screaming that her boyfriend's black.
Speaker 1: There is a black guy standing there, but I think
Speaker 1: he's a passenger trying to help. So it kind of
Speaker 1: sucks because I saw people commenting that he's just staying
Speaker 1: I think he's I don't think that's her boyfriend. So
Speaker 1: if you watch it, I think he's a passenger trying
Speaker 1: to get a get a hold of this check, just
Speaker 1: helping out the flight attendants who and it's almost like
Speaker 1: it's almost like super strength, the amount of people that
Speaker 1: are having to because she's not a big girl. Try
Speaker 1: to figure out what that hat is she's wearing too.
Speaker 1: Let me see if I canzlly, I can't tell. First
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a Confederate flags. So the
Speaker 1: whole thing's weird. Where was the flight headed? All right, well,
Speaker 1: I'll have to figure that. I just saw this thing
Speaker 1: literally right for the show. It's crazy town, all right,
Speaker 1: six fourteen here on the CaCO Day Radio program. So
Speaker 1: apparently the vice president opened a new social media account
Speaker 1: for three minutes. You know what social media. I'm referring
Speaker 1: to Blue Sky Baby. We'll tell you how that went,
Speaker 1: coming up on the CaCO Day Radio program. Glad to
Speaker 1: have you along on this Thursday morning. And yes it
Speaker 1: is the of course the Juneteenth holiday, but hey we're here,
Speaker 1: we're doing our thing, okay, so happy you're joining us,
Speaker 1: and we got we got enough backcrap crazy to probably
Speaker 1: do two shows today. We would do that because that
Speaker 1: would you know, be insane. All right, everybody sabotaged all.
Speaker 3: Of our equipment this morning. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Ross's Computer's probably a it's probably a bomb. So we
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with that. All right, good,
Speaker 1: my good, Okay, thank you computator. So we had a
Speaker 1: little incident yesterday, little something something. The Vice President of
Speaker 1: the United States decided to open a new social media account.
Speaker 1: It did not go well. It did not go well
Speaker 1: at all. Jd Vance was almost instant suspended after he
Speaker 1: posted two, just two posts on Blue Sky yesterday. So
Speaker 1: he wrote, well, Ross, can you have your finger near
Speaker 1: the dump button? Because if this this must be real,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read what he wrote. But if you got
Speaker 1: suspended within minutes, it's got to be pretty bad, right.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's got to be super bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh man, so much hate.
Speaker 1: So have it just, you know, right by the dump
Speaker 1: button in case I accidentally say the bad part.
Speaker 3: All right, here we go. Are you guys already out.
Speaker 1: In the audience, because I don't want to offend you
Speaker 1: this morning. But like he got he he lasted twelve minutes,
Speaker 1: twelve minutes from posting his first post and opening his
Speaker 1: account to you know, suspended. So if this is going
Speaker 1: to be pretty ear muffs on the kids, ear muff's
Speaker 1: on the kid. Okay, all right, here we go, He wrote,
Speaker 1: Hello Blue Sky. I've been told this app has become
Speaker 1: the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis.
Speaker 1: So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all
Speaker 1: of you. That was the first one, because it's it's
Speaker 1: like two things, all right, So I don't know if
Speaker 1: it was that one one that did it. That's pretty
Speaker 1: bad obviously, right, you would never you'd never say that
Speaker 1: to somebody's face.
Speaker 3: But then he wrote.
Speaker 1: In referencing he posted a screenshot of the Thomas's Concurrent.
Speaker 3: So this is on the ruling.
Speaker 1: Against or not against, but over the state of Tennessee's
Speaker 1: restrictions on transgender medical care for minors. Right, what was it?
Speaker 1: Limbaugh used to call it? Probably I get myself in trouble.
Speaker 1: This was the This was the you know, no, he
Speaker 1: used to refer to it as an addictomy. This is
Speaker 1: the opposite one. So they're like, nah, you can't do
Speaker 1: that to the kids. That was what the ruling was.
Speaker 3: That's what the lawsuit was about.
Speaker 1: You like it or you don't, but you know, people
Speaker 1: are probably going to converse about it, and that's what JD.
Speaker 1: Vans wanted to do, so he posted a screenshot of
Speaker 1: Justice Thomas's concurrence on the majority decision. He said, I
Speaker 1: found Thomas's concurrence on medical care for transgender youth illuminating.
Speaker 1: He said, he argues that many of our so called
Speaker 1: experts have used bad arguments and substandard science to push
Speaker 1: experimental therapies. I might add that many of those scientists
Speaker 1: receive substantial resources from big Pharma. All right, So there's
Speaker 1: a little conspiratorial thing in there, But it's also that's true,
Speaker 1: and that was part of the argument there, that many
Speaker 1: of the leading experts also are essentially on big Farmer's payroll.
Speaker 1: And let's face it, big pharma and given money to
Speaker 1: experts is really a right left. There's seemingly a unifier there, right,
Speaker 1: It just depends you know which which aux you're going there.
Speaker 1: So he that's what he wrote, and then he added,
Speaker 1: what do you think that's it? That's what that's that's
Speaker 1: what he wrote. Ross, Are you wildly offended? I can't tell.
Speaker 1: He's just because I'm em in Nashville. So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: pretty bad. Huh okay, yeah, so how long was that at?
Speaker 5: Thirteen minutes?
Speaker 3: Twelve twelve twelve minutes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that website is pretty much dead, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, uh yeah, I've seen some They are definitely
Speaker 1: having some engagement issues. Even didn't Stephen King even bail
Speaker 1: on it. And he might be that guy's a lunatic
Speaker 1: a lot because they realize there's really not discourse there.
Speaker 1: Because that was super nice. I mean, I understand it's
Speaker 1: a controversial subject, but he just he posted part of
Speaker 1: one of the Supreme Court decisions or in this case
Speaker 1: of concurrence, and then he mentioned two things he found
Speaker 1: interesting and then.
Speaker 3: Ask people what they thought.
Speaker 1: Here's your chance to engage with the vice president. He
Speaker 1: may be a vice president that you hate, but the
Speaker 1: willing you know, this is what's so crazy. How many
Speaker 1: times ross have we done stories where a reporter like
Speaker 1: Dana bashit is seeing she can call Trump and he answers.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know.
Speaker 5: This, No, you no, you're right, And it's super weird
Speaker 5: and it's awesome, like to see jd Vance just talking
Speaker 5: to regular people on X like he's not one of
Speaker 5: these people well, first you can tell he's the one
Speaker 5: posting it right, correct, But also because there are a
Speaker 5: lot of politicians where they will post on social media,
Speaker 5: but then they don't really there's no back and forth,
Speaker 5: and a lot of times they make it so you
Speaker 5: can't even reply to their killer's cleared and there's no
Speaker 5: real back and forth. Hell post and then just have
Speaker 5: a normal discussion with regular people. It's pretty awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so he got now.
Speaker 1: Granted, obviously Blue Skuy is different from X. But it's
Speaker 1: like if you're if you're on Blue Skuy, chances are
Speaker 1: you probably don't like him very much or or at
Speaker 1: the very least, maybe you're just like, he's just wrong.
Speaker 3: He's just wrong on all these things. He's the good
Speaker 3: Tell him he's wrong.
Speaker 1: If you don't call, if you don't drop an f
Speaker 1: bomb doing it, he might even answer you. And because
Speaker 1: it's like one of his first few posts, there's a
Speaker 1: higher likelihood he might engage with you.
Speaker 3: So tell him why he's wrong. Tell him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know that's a coincidence with the with
Speaker 1: the pharma stuff. It's just that pharma gravitated towards the
Speaker 1: people who are leaders in the field, which is the
Speaker 1: argument that people will make on that.
Speaker 5: It's just it's an idea that it's a little bit
Speaker 5: outside the bubble and they can't have that. They're like,
Speaker 5: oh man, what is this? And plus they're like, oh,
Speaker 5: he's just here to say us and he's here to
Speaker 5: troll us, so we're gonna block him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now they did unblock him finally. I think they
Speaker 1: realized that wasn't a good look. A c o DA
Speaker 1: radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seven four. Uh, just looking at this, uh
Speaker 1: this update here. Man, if you think the if you
Speaker 1: think that the Iran Israel thing's gonna slow down, I
Speaker 1: don't know about all that. I don't know.
Speaker 3: About all that.
Speaker 1: Because one of the largest hospitals in Israel just got
Speaker 1: a missile put up in it.
Speaker 3: Now I'm not even I'm not.
Speaker 1: Sure the total totality.
Speaker 4: Of the.
Speaker 1: Oh no, sorry, I just saw something out. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that here in just a moment. I don't know
Speaker 1: the totality of you know, from a casually standpoint, but
Speaker 1: I do know that hitting and this is not a
Speaker 1: military hospital, not that that would make it any better.
Speaker 1: It's it's like a thousand bed civilian hospital, and it's
Speaker 1: a hospital, by the way, that treats a bunch of
Speaker 1: Palestinians too, because that's you know, that's how that works.
Speaker 1: So as you can imagine, they're not pleased over in Israel.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't see this thing slowing down
Speaker 1: unless you excuse me. I did see on Twitter this
Speaker 1: morning that the quote Jews blew up their own hospital.
Speaker 1: So if you're one of those lunatics on Twitter, then
Speaker 1: I guess maybe you have a different outlook on this.
Speaker 3: But yeah, man, did.
Speaker 5: You see that one dumb post. It was probably the
Speaker 5: dumbest post.
Speaker 3: Of ever, the one dumb post.
Speaker 5: Oh no, it is the like the dumb I've ever
Speaker 5: seen in social media. It was a week ago talking
Speaker 5: about it was from an Iranian account, I don't know
Speaker 5: if it was like state media or whatever, and it said,
Speaker 5: you know, did you know that the Israelis put their
Speaker 5: defense messssile systems over civilian areas? Now, who exactly is
Speaker 5: using civilians as shields? And people are wait, what what
Speaker 5: do you? Of course the defense missile system is going
Speaker 5: to be over civilian areas, right because they're shooting missiles
Speaker 5: in to these areas and we want to blow them up,
Speaker 5: and they're like, no, no, no. What you don't understand
Speaker 5: are the defense missile systems are targets for the Iranians
Speaker 5: And how dare they put those targets above the civilians?
Speaker 1: What I mean, that's how they'll do you.
Speaker 5: But I saw them mapp this morning, and you know
Speaker 5: it's like, hey, here in the map are where all
Speaker 5: the missiles are being fired from Iran and it's all
Speaker 5: civilian areas, Like it's all now.
Speaker 1: We because we have awesome missiles, we can put our
Speaker 1: missiles in the middle of nowhere, which unfortunately, in a
Speaker 1: couple instances, we're right by, uh like my house.
Speaker 3: Right if you're a.
Speaker 1: Drive around Montana and art's wyoming the Dakotas and uh,
Speaker 1: I think Utah as well, then obviously Colorado. But if
Speaker 1: you get into Montana, wyoming up there we got we
Speaker 1: got all the missiles, missiles, missiles, missiles, missiles. But that's
Speaker 1: because we have badass missiles that don't have to be
Speaker 1: right there there. From an instantaneous standpoint, Israel doesn't have that.
Speaker 1: It's not that the missiles suck, it's that the people
Speaker 1: shooting at them are so close and things are coming
Speaker 1: in so quickly, you can't stage missiles weigh the hell
Speaker 1: away from civilian populations because you wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: share missiles. Probably the wrong word, but it's probably wrong
Speaker 1: to compare to the size of the missiles. But when
Speaker 1: you're talking iron Dome, it's got to be right there
Speaker 1: because most of the stuff prior to Iran that Israel
Speaker 1: was shooting now with Iron Dome was literally coming from
Speaker 1: like right over the fence. So yeah, that is pretty
Speaker 1: I will say that is pretty dumb. Man Ross.
Speaker 3: Do we know what's going on with Hulk Hogan?
Speaker 5: I haven't heard anything. Why what's up?
Speaker 1: Here's the headline? Florida radio hosts sparks a Sparks rumor, saying,
Speaker 1: after saying the wrestler has been hospitalized and might not
Speaker 1: make it, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think this is true. You know, Oh, you know
Speaker 3: who did it?
Speaker 1: Bubba Bubba the Love Sponge, which I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys know the history there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've heard they got beef.
Speaker 3: A little bit, A little bit.
Speaker 5: No, I haven't heard that.
Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, I don't think it's true.
Speaker 5: How old is the story?
Speaker 1: It's just I just populated on New York post the
Speaker 1: original the originals yesterday evening. All right, so it looks
Speaker 1: like at this point they're saying it's that he's that
Speaker 1: it's not true that he might not make it, but
Speaker 1: they're unclear as to whether he had to go to
Speaker 1: the hospital or not. Sorry, I'm reading this in real time.
Speaker 1: I apologize for this. We're very concerned here on the show.
Speaker 3: So here's so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess there's audio of this too. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna well, I'll watch this during the break. Well,
Speaker 1: we got so much audio to get too. I don't
Speaker 1: think this is true, but like, why would you do?
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. Well, he runs a slightly different radio
Speaker 1: show than we do. Yeah, all right, Bubba said, Allegedly,
Speaker 1: Hogan is in the hospital. I heard people say he
Speaker 1: might not make it. Okay, so here we go. Finally,
Speaker 1: this is what I was looking for. So here's a
Speaker 1: Here is a statement from Hogan's reps.
Speaker 3: Thank you, he said.
Speaker 1: All right, So, according to Hogan's reps, yes, the Yes,
Speaker 1: Hogan was hospitalized, but he was hospitalized as part of
Speaker 1: treatment he's receiving to address lingering neck and back problems
Speaker 1: and is in no way shape or for him on
Speaker 1: his deathbed. So what a what an a hole move man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he had neck surgery last month. Yeah, I've heard
Speaker 1: Hogan ti, I mean not just Hogan, dude. Like the
Speaker 1: lingering effects that these guys deal with, especially especially the
Speaker 1: older wrestlers well obviously you know the older ones, but
Speaker 1: also more specifically with you know, the heyday of wrestling
Speaker 1: when some of that sports science maybe wasn't part of
Speaker 1: the program as much as it could be.
Speaker 5: The sports science. It involved the steroids and copious amounts
Speaker 5: of alcohol.
Speaker 1: I was be it polite, Yeah, what would you say?
Speaker 1: Boo boos and drugs yeah yeah, and the roids yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Mean yeah, but they're in all sincerity. There's a reason
Speaker 5: that these guys like get addicted to painkillers because they're
Speaker 5: breading up their bodies on a daily basis and people
Speaker 5: don't realize like how often they work or at least
Speaker 5: back in the day. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 5: Now now you've got like, you know, what do they
Speaker 5: call it, Like when Lebron isn't gonna work play in
Speaker 5: the NBA, like load of something like low t yes,
Speaker 5: load management they call load management, right, like I can't play?
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, where like Jordan would like play every single
Speaker 5: game because he's the goat and Lebron is not. But anyway,
Speaker 5: these guys back in the day, like there was no rest,
Speaker 5: Like they'd be wrestling like three hundred and fifty days
Speaker 5: out of the year, you know, like sometimes three days,
Speaker 5: three times a day, you know. So it's they destroy
Speaker 5: their bodies crazy.
Speaker 1: Remember what happened to British Bulldog possibly, I mean, so
Speaker 1: he frightened, he fractured his spine. So they had they
Speaker 1: had built a trap door. They don't They had built
Speaker 1: a trap door, uh into part of the ring, and uh,
Speaker 1: somebody flipped Bulldog over and onto the door. The door
Speaker 1: was so that the Ultimate Warrior could like emerge from
Speaker 1: the if I'm remembering it correctly, it was Ultimate Warrior
Speaker 1: was going to emerge from the trap door was preceding that,
Speaker 1: and they landed him basically where the where the hinges
Speaker 1: were and fractured his spine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you see stuff like this all the time. Or
Speaker 5: they jump off the you know, I'm gonna jump out
Speaker 5: of the ring and then you land on the side
Speaker 5: of the ring. It's always like the back, it seems
Speaker 5: like the back of the neck.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Brett Hart was the same way too, Like he was
Speaker 5: in like great condition and I think he was fighting Goldberg.
Speaker 5: I think it like completely, like you know, ended his
Speaker 5: career pretty much. He said that Goldberg in a matter
Speaker 5: of seconds stole millions of dollars from him because his
Speaker 5: career was just over. It was never going to be
Speaker 5: what he was before.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sorry, I'm just I just wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure it was right that it was. It was British
Speaker 1: Bulldog in Ultimate Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure enough, there it is. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the Fall Brawl of nineteen ninety eight. Landed
Speaker 1: him right on the hinges of the trap door? Who
Speaker 1: threw him on there?
Speaker 3: Alex? Right, I guess, I MA, it's side.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the agreement is.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you'd put some with hinges and
Speaker 1: a trapdoor in the middle of a wrestling ring. That
Speaker 1: just there should be somebody going, yeah, let's not do that.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe put the trap door under the ring, right,
Speaker 1: he crawls out from up but yeah, and then I'd
Speaker 1: have to get tossed around knowing that that thing is
Speaker 1: there somewhere in the ring. Uh, that's that's terrible, all right.
Speaker 1: So Hulk Hogan's not on his deathbed. I guess all
Speaker 1: of that to say.
Speaker 5: I mean forty If he was, though, right, we could
Speaker 5: just use the power of all the whole Camaniacs to
Speaker 5: come together to bring him up. I've seen him be
Speaker 5: down numerous times and you're like, he's down and out,
Speaker 5: and then he comes up and you can't defeat him.
Speaker 3: I've seen when he puts the trump fist.
Speaker 1: Upright, So you think the power of Hulkamania has the
Speaker 1: power to.
Speaker 5: Heal the power of the hulk Comaniacs. Correct, I've seen
Speaker 5: it numerous times a pay per view.
Speaker 1: That's that's fair, all right, six forty five. Hang on,
Speaker 1: So the former USSR had small nukes, their version of
Speaker 1: an iron dome around the Kremlin to thwart incoming ICBMs.
Speaker 1: They would literally kill their own people just to save
Speaker 1: the Kremlin. It's a high enough burst the radiation would
Speaker 1: kill people but would not destroy the buildings.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: So you're all dead, But you know the turn up
Speaker 1: top over at the cathedral next door is fine, okay,
Speaker 1: all right?
Speaker 3: Whatever, that's really dark.
Speaker 1: I believe it, though, all right, couple little quick things. Oh,
Speaker 1: I should probably have done this at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the show. But let me go ahead and let you
Speaker 1: know because we got a guest coming in who is
Speaker 1: the head of the tourism organization for this part of
Speaker 1: western North Carolina. She's gonna be chatting with us and imagine,
Speaker 1: like I want you to imagine this ross. So she
Speaker 1: started in twenty twenty. So your job, you are brought
Speaker 1: in here to do everything that you can to promote tourism.
Speaker 1: You get this sweet gig, right, obviously, this is a
Speaker 1: tourist mecca out here in western North Carolina. And what happens,
Speaker 1: you know, you think you're having a bad day at work.
Speaker 1: What happens like you're there for five minutes and it'say, hey,
Speaker 1: there's this thing going on in Wuhan. So then he
Speaker 1: got that, and then of course you have everything that
Speaker 1: happened with Helene.
Speaker 3: So I feel really I feel bad.
Speaker 1: Man. That would suck because your one job is tourism
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, here's all the reasons you can't
Speaker 1: do tourism. So now that they're on the now, obviously
Speaker 1: we're we're you know, we're past those things. So I
Speaker 1: am super interested to dive into that coming up here
Speaker 1: in about fifteen fifteen minutes. Yeah, we're gonna have we'll
Speaker 1: have her on at seven o five, so hang out
Speaker 1: and hang loose for that. Oh by the way, her
Speaker 1: name is Vic Eisley, so I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: short for Victoria or if it's just Vic, but we'll
Speaker 1: find out. And she is president and CEO of Explored Ashville,
Speaker 1: Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority and a bunch of stuff,
Speaker 1: so we'll get into that, all right. So what do
Speaker 1: we learn this morning? Jad Vans lasted twelve minutes on
Speaker 1: Blue Sky. Paul Cogan's not dying. Well, everyone's dying technically
Speaker 1: if you want to, you know, get philosophical about this,
Speaker 1: but he's not on his deathbed, even though some radio
Speaker 1: hosts decided to start that rumor yesterday. And oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there's lunatics on Southwest Airlines flight. Well there's lunatics on
Speaker 1: every airline's flight. I just assume that's why I try
Speaker 1: not to talk to people when I get on a plane.
Speaker 1: But this one decided to show out. And the video
Speaker 1: is crazy Town and it's right there for you case
Speaker 1: see on the radio. You want to check that out?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: The what?
Speaker 1: What is your what is your active opinion of Tucker
Speaker 1: carl Ross? What do you think of Tucker Carlson now?
Speaker 1: And has it changed over the years. I think I'm
Speaker 1: pretty much indifferent. You're okay, and I think that's that's
Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at. I just think it's really
Speaker 1: it's really weird because this Trump cut is just really
Speaker 1: weird because I I don't know, as a journalist, you
Speaker 1: call and apologize to something, you kind of have to
Speaker 1: own own what you did, right, and someone say, I apologize,
Speaker 1: But but you also have to if you want to
Speaker 1: be a journalist and and and and an opinion journalist,
Speaker 1: which Tucker can be. And I don't have a beef
Speaker 1: with that, right you just he's a pundent, you know
Speaker 1: what you're getting. I think it makes you look weak man.
Speaker 1: And I know that's not a good advice because you know,
Speaker 1: your parents would tell you if they're raising you're right,
Speaker 1: you know, well, you know, if you screwed up, you
Speaker 1: got to go ahead and apologize. But when you're talking
Speaker 1: about apologizing to Trump, it almost kind of looks a
Speaker 1: little self serving, like you're trying to maintain access. Listen,
Speaker 1: this is Trump talking about a conversation he had with
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 6: Tucker Carlson Senator Ted Cruz interview. It seems like this
Speaker 6: issue on whether or not the United States should strike
Speaker 6: is kind of dividing a lot of your supporters.
Speaker 7: Uh no, my supporter is that for me. My supporters
Speaker 7: are America first. They make America great again. My supporters
Speaker 7: don't want to see you around having to grow upon.
Speaker 7: Tucker's a nice guy. He called and apologized the other
Speaker 7: day because he thought he said things that were going
Speaker 7: too strong, and I appreciated that. And Ted Cruiz is
Speaker 7: a nice guy. I mean, he's been with me for
Speaker 7: a whole time. I'd say once the race was over,
Speaker 7: he's been with me ever since.
Speaker 1: But for your accuses, his father call you, Kennedy.
Speaker 7: If they think that it's okay for around to a
Speaker 7: nuclear weapon, and then they should oppose me. But nobody
Speaker 7: thinks it's okay. People that don't want I don't want
Speaker 7: to fight either. I'm not looking to fight. But if
Speaker 7: it's a choice between fighting and them having a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 7: you have to you have to do.
Speaker 4: What you have to do.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, are you growing Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are you growing comfortable with what he said to about
Speaker 1: what you have to do to prevent that? What were
Speaker 1: you going to say, Ross Upson, I'm gonna say when
Speaker 1: it comes to Tucker Carlson, I think the only reason
Speaker 1: he's calling him to apologize is his son works for JD.
Speaker 1: Vance is his deputy press secretary, right, So I mean
Speaker 1: he's covering, you know, he's looking out.
Speaker 5: For his kid. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 3: You think Vance would be that petty.
Speaker 5: I don't think he would be. But I mean I
Speaker 5: think Tucker Carlson's being like a dad, you know, sort
Speaker 5: of looking out for his kid. I think that's what
Speaker 5: it comes down to. Yeah, Or maybe he's really apologetic,
Speaker 5: maybe feels bad. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And again, I don't want to scold people for
Speaker 1: doing the thing that my parents told me was the
Speaker 1: thing that I needed to do.
Speaker 3: But it's just.
Speaker 1: It's just weird in this situation. And I love the
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz part two. He's he's a nice guy, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, guy, you gotta said his dad do I
Speaker 1: to kill Kennedy? So that that's just but you know,
Speaker 1: that's the thick skin I guess you gotta have.
Speaker 5: With pologize, Like do I think jd. Vance would be like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, I can't believe your dad saying this.
Speaker 5: I'm fired. No, But do I think Trump could be spiteful? Perhaps?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe just a little bit if. But I
Speaker 1: also I don't like what Trump's saying about. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't want to fight, but we can't let him
Speaker 1: have a nuke. Well, then that means you might have
Speaker 1: to fight, and I'm I'm I'm not on board with that. Man.
Speaker 1: It's again live from where I'm not melting like all
Speaker 1: of you are, because it's one hundred and five degrees
Speaker 1: down there, up in the mountains of North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Which if you don't want to melt, might be a
Speaker 3: good place for you to go.
Speaker 1: You got the three day weekend with the Fourth of
Speaker 1: July holiday this year, just saying it's on a Friday.
Speaker 3: Make it happen, all right.
Speaker 1: Our next guest and we just chatting, is Vic Eisley's
Speaker 1: President CEO of Explorer Asheville, the Buncomee County Tourism Development Authority.
Speaker 1: And I got a copy of your bio, said to me,
Speaker 1: and the very first thing it says in it is
Speaker 1: that you started this position in twenty twenty and immediately
Speaker 1: I went that what did you do?
Speaker 3: Who did you offend there?
Speaker 1: Because almost every single day of your tenure thus far
Speaker 1: has been having to deal with something as we went
Speaker 1: into COVID and then of course Helene and everything else.
Speaker 3: So really taught Let's talk about that first.
Speaker 1: What an overwhelming challenge and how have you been dealing
Speaker 1: with that?
Speaker 8: Well, Casey, first, thank you for coming up here to
Speaker 8: Asheville and western North Carolina and shine in a spotlight
Speaker 8: on our community and region and how far we've come.
Speaker 8: I grew up in Rockingham County down in the middle
Speaker 8: of the state and have been doing the work of
Speaker 8: telling places stories for thirty years, and so I was
Speaker 8: really proud to come back to North Carolina and Asheville
Speaker 8: in December of twenty when I think there were like
Speaker 8: three humans in our office and we were doing everything
Speaker 8: by zoom and the like. So, you know, I think
Speaker 8: it's been a challenging time for travel and hospitality, you know,
Speaker 8: through COVID and the pandemic and coming out of that
Speaker 8: and now in western North Carolina being challenged by the
Speaker 8: devastation of Helene, and also just being heartened by the
Speaker 8: grit and gumption and determination of the people of western
Speaker 8: North Carolina and just how far we've come since then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and not just Western North Carolina. We were talking
Speaker 1: off the air. I had to go see. I heard
Speaker 1: the Amish. We're still here. They are still here. Ar indeed,
Speaker 1: and we had a lot of our listeners too, from
Speaker 1: you know, the Raleigh area, in the Greensboro area where
Speaker 1: we're broadcasting.
Speaker 3: In fact, our towers would rock Kingham County. So there's
Speaker 3: your connection.
Speaker 9: Glass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who also said I got to go do something
Speaker 1: whatever it was all trailers, bring generators, water, everything. So
Speaker 1: the ability of people to pull together and create what
Speaker 1: I saw on Sunday when I arrived, which was downtown
Speaker 1: Ashville that looked like every other time I've been in
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville. Pedestrians everywhere, The bars and restaurants are full,
Speaker 1: the shops are full.
Speaker 3: How how like, how long have we been.
Speaker 1: What do we had? Eighty five percent I believe was
Speaker 1: the number provided. How long have we been there? And
Speaker 1: how quickly is it growing to fill in that last
Speaker 1: fifteen percent? Because I didn't really notice it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think for Western North Carolina we're
Speaker 8: going to be on a continuum for quite some time.
Speaker 8: I think we were talking about. It's a both and
Speaker 8: situation where visibly you can't tell in downtown Ashville that
Speaker 8: anything came from. You know, on September twenty seventh, in
Speaker 8: the River Arts District, in the Upper River Arts District
Speaker 8: or RAD, you know, there are hundreds of artists in galleries, restaurants, bars,
Speaker 8: the Radical Hotel open. There's been tremendous progress in the
Speaker 8: Wedge building in the River Arts District where Wedge Brewing
Speaker 8: reopened on Halloween. The bullen Begger restaurant just reopened a
Speaker 8: couple of months ago, and they're doubling down.
Speaker 3: What's the biscuit restaurant? Butter Punk is that That's what
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: They have a specialty biscuit rest if you're into biscuits.
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know that that's the thing in
Speaker 1: the RAD district there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 8: But the bullen Begger reopened, they're doubling down and expanding
Speaker 8: their kitchen and opening an oyster bar, which I'm personally
Speaker 8: psyched about. And then Marquee, which is I spent most
Speaker 8: of my weekends at least one day a weekend in
Speaker 8: the Marquee and they're leasing space out and they aim
Speaker 8: to be open and early this fall, so lots of
Speaker 8: progress made and there's more to come for sure.
Speaker 1: What do you guys, how many inquiries do you get
Speaker 1: people calling? I mean they should call you, right if
Speaker 1: they have questions, I mean they can call the venue.
Speaker 1: But if they just have questions in general, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: Explore Ashville's happy to answer.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, so Explore ashville dot com is the best resource
Speaker 8: for your listeners to get what's open, family friendly itineraries,
Speaker 8: girlfriend itineraries, all kinds of things.
Speaker 9: Of what to do and where to go.
Speaker 8: Just this week, Wrong Way River Cabins announced a fly
Speaker 8: fishing festival which will be August twenty fourth. So that
Speaker 8: shows you the French broad River is open and ready
Speaker 8: and we're really excited about the progress there. Weekends are
Speaker 8: getting back to normal, and you know, we just invite
Speaker 8: all of your listeners to come up and be part
Speaker 8: of the comeback.
Speaker 9: And Asheville is open and ready.
Speaker 1: The people of Ashville that I've spoke with Alex Fraga,
Speaker 1: who obviously I'm staying that at his hotel there. He's
Speaker 1: actually a sponsor of our broadcast. Just full disclosure there.
Speaker 1: But I had a chance to hang out with him
Speaker 1: and his wife for a couple hours yesterday, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he once he gets to know you man, the guy,
Speaker 1: the guy wants to tell you everything what what is
Speaker 1: normally a competitive situation between people run hotels and restaurants
Speaker 1: and all the rest the stories that he was telling
Speaker 1: me about how they just kind of flipped the script
Speaker 1: and now we're feeding first responders and I had he
Speaker 1: had two hundred and twenty five employees. He's got to
Speaker 1: look after and figure out how he's gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: take care of them to the extent that he can.
Speaker 1: That all disappears when when something like this happens, and
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it carries over after because now you have
Speaker 1: this shared experience.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I've been really impressed from day one
Speaker 8: arriving here during the pandemic about how collaborative this community is.
Speaker 8: You know, twenty years ago there were nineteen farms that
Speaker 8: we're sourcing to restaurants and brewers and distillers here, and
Speaker 8: now that collaboration in those relationships, there are more than
Speaker 8: two hundred farms that are working in tandem with our
Speaker 8: food food culture here, So there's really great collaboration. But
Speaker 8: going back in the it feels like the way back
Speaker 8: Machine and Helene of the early days of hotels without
Speaker 8: power or water themselves, housing their displaced workers, displaced residents,
Speaker 8: first responders flushing toilets with pool water. We never want
Speaker 8: to go back there again.
Speaker 3: He told that story on the air.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I mean in your home flushing your toilet
Speaker 8: with creek water.
Speaker 9: We've come a long way, yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then his wife said, you shouldn't have told this.
Speaker 9: Well, I think that.
Speaker 8: I think many of our filters have come off since
Speaker 8: the Alene and just being a part of a community
Speaker 8: that is so dedicated to this place and to each
Speaker 8: other means a lot.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about let's talk about what's going right,
Speaker 1: because there is a lot going right. I think the
Speaker 1: toot and common thing is really cool over it built
Speaker 1: Moore if you like cursed artifacts or replicas thereof, So
Speaker 1: which is more appealing to me than when they had
Speaker 1: the Downton Abbey dresses, which was the last time I
Speaker 1: was at builtmore.
Speaker 9: But heard, I can hear that, I can feel that
Speaker 9: for you, Casey.
Speaker 1: Well something for me, a little something for them.
Speaker 8: So, yeah, you know, we've got a lot of things
Speaker 8: Builtmore is is beautiful with blooms this time of year.
Speaker 8: You know, right outside the gates of Biltmore, the Grand
Speaker 8: Bohemian Lodge just reopened. New Morning Gallery across the street
Speaker 8: is having its grand, grand reopening party tomorrow night. I'm
Speaker 8: headed to Black Mountain this afternoon for a ribbon cutting
Speaker 8: of the brand new North Carolina Glass Center.
Speaker 1: I was there yesterday and I went. I found the
Speaker 1: restaurant too Hell or high Water because fabulous. I got
Speaker 1: to meet the chef, one of your employee's casts and
Speaker 1: I were over there, and I'm going to go there
Speaker 1: on Saturday.
Speaker 9: It's fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And so there's there's lots going right. You know, in
Speaker 9: any time, a new.
Speaker 8: Airport terminal would be a huge economic development boom for
Speaker 8: a community. And we have the ribbon cutting for the
Speaker 8: new terminal at AVL tomorrow afternoon, and that's really exciting.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: Early days in you know, December January, Lou and Tina
Speaker 8: from the airport and myself went to meet with airline
Speaker 8: partners like Allegiant, like Delta, like American, and they were
Speaker 8: really interested, of course, of what was happening on the
Speaker 8: ground at the time in recovery and more importantly they
Speaker 8: were like, is that airport terminal on time? And can
Speaker 8: we get more gate access so that we can get
Speaker 8: more flights. And so we're really excited and heartened by
Speaker 8: the trust and belief in our region in the in
Speaker 8: the future growth for flight flight access for US as
Speaker 8: residents here, but for visitors coming in too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I was when I was driving in on Sunday,
Speaker 1: it was funny because you can as you're driving in,
Speaker 1: you see them on approach into AVL and they were
Speaker 1: staggered only like five minutes apart, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: pretty good indicator. You guys are having a lot of
Speaker 1: flights in here. So that's the stuff people know about.
Speaker 1: What's the what's the thing If so when you say,
Speaker 1: all right, if you want to see the area, but
Speaker 1: you really want to see the area, here's what you
Speaker 1: need to look at or do that, maybe people don't
Speaker 1: think about unless it's presented to them.
Speaker 3: Give me the give me the secret tourist insight.
Speaker 9: We don't do that. We don't tell our secrets.
Speaker 1: Well it's your job, come on, give me give me one.
Speaker 3: Give me one.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I personally love live music. So Ashville's
Speaker 8: always punched above its weight in terms of live music scene.
Speaker 8: I'm a foodie. I love walking. I love you know,
Speaker 8: drawn to the river, so walk. You know, the Greenway
Speaker 8: just reopened around the French Broad River and the River
Speaker 8: Arts District, so doing that. The North Carolina Arboretum, as
Speaker 8: big as it is, is a local secret. They've got
Speaker 8: great walking trails that are open, great gardens. So that's
Speaker 8: a really fun place for families. And we've got a
Speaker 8: pretty exciting announcement coming next week that we can't quite
Speaker 8: tell you yet, but it's going to be great for
Speaker 8: families all over the region, the state and from from Afar.
Speaker 1: And I will say this. You mentioned music there. I
Speaker 1: was at the bar was at yesterday had a big band.
Speaker 1: You don't often see that in a in a bar setting,
Speaker 1: uh so to have a big band in there, and
Speaker 1: it was shock full of people dancing of all ages too.
Speaker 1: And I noticed Louis e K's coming. So if you
Speaker 1: don't want to do music but you like comedy, you
Speaker 1: guys have a performing arts center too.
Speaker 8: We do Harris Cherokee Center and explore Ashville dot Com Arena,
Speaker 8: host events at the Tom with the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.
Speaker 8: You know, I know I have my tickets to Nathaniel
Speaker 8: Rateliffe and the Night Sweats, which are playing at the
Speaker 8: Asheville Yards.
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, we played in Raleigh. I was at that concert.
Speaker 3: It was very good.
Speaker 8: Yeah, A big, big fan of Nathaniel rightlift in the
Speaker 8: Night Sweats, all right.
Speaker 1: And then this is the this is the question you
Speaker 1: don't want to answer when you're not in Asheville and
Speaker 1: you want to go somewhere else in North Carolina, sneak away?
Speaker 3: Where's your other favorite place? Oh God, I ask everybody.
Speaker 1: This, so don't feel like I'm picking on you now.
Speaker 8: Growing up in North Carolina, one of the things that's
Speaker 8: so amazing about this place is how diverse it is
Speaker 8: from from the mountains to to the beaches.
Speaker 9: And for for.
Speaker 8: Two decades, our family, multi generational family, has gone to
Speaker 8: the outer Banks Killed Kill Devil Hills area, and for
Speaker 8: the first time over July fourth weekend, we're going to
Speaker 8: go to Topsle Beach instead. So we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 8: check this out. We have four generations now, so looking
Speaker 8: for a flatter, wider, calmer beach where you don't have
Speaker 8: to have one leg shorter than the other to walk
Speaker 8: on the beach.
Speaker 1: Well, and if you go up in North Top so
Speaker 1: you can walk all the way out on that sandspit
Speaker 1: for like ever, just check your tides. Is the only
Speaker 1: thing that I would say that is that is that
Speaker 1: is great.
Speaker 9: That's a good inside tip.
Speaker 5: Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: From Murphy to Mantio as they say. So, all right, Vic,
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you coming on this morning, and I
Speaker 1: would encourage there are no dumb questions.
Speaker 3: That's what I want to leave this.
Speaker 1: There are no sometimes I ask dumb questions, but yours
Speaker 1: or not. If you just want to know what's going on,
Speaker 1: go to the website, which again.
Speaker 9: Is explore Ashville dot com.
Speaker 1: And if that doesn't get you the answer, you feel
Speaker 1: free to call. Absolutely lots of great folks over there
Speaker 1: happy to answer. All right, Vic Eisley, President CEO of
Speaker 1: Explore Ashville, thank you.
Speaker 9: For your time this morning, Thanks for being here.
Speaker 1: Absolutely we will be right back again.
Speaker 3: Thank you to.
Speaker 1: Vic Eisley for joining us there. And I just tweeted
Speaker 1: that photo out. All right, so if you go and.
Speaker 5: What is this?
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 1: No? No oh no no no, no, all right, so
Speaker 1: somebody's already answered this, because here's what I wrote it said,
Speaker 1: there's a new restaurant in Black Mountain called Hell or
Speaker 1: High Water, and there is a photo on the wall
Speaker 1: of the man who built the ridge of the building
Speaker 1: that it's in and he ran an ice delivery business
Speaker 1: in the early nineteen hundreds. So and I said, zoom
Speaker 1: in on the guy dressed like boss Hog and tell
Speaker 1: me if you know why he chose the ice business.
Speaker 3: And when you zoom.
Speaker 1: In, yeah, I mean, obviously he's dressed like that, but
Speaker 1: if you zoom in, I'll give you a hint. You
Speaker 1: want to zoom in on about the middle of the dude.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have hands, so he has hooks. And so
Speaker 1: what they were telling me is that he he didn't lose,
Speaker 1: he wasn't in the ice business. He literally he got
Speaker 1: his hands chopped off in some sort of industrial accident
Speaker 1: and then they replaced his hands with hooks because you know,
Speaker 1: the nineteen tens, twenties or whatever. And then he's like,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm going into the ice business because really
Speaker 1: your options at that point are you sell hay bails
Speaker 1: ice or maybe if you get a really big hook,
Speaker 1: you can be the guy who Back in the day,
Speaker 1: remember at Vaudeville thing where they had the big hook
Speaker 1: and they just pull you off the stage.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: I feel like those are all your job, those are
Speaker 1: your possibilities. So I guess he chose well because he
Speaker 1: was very successful. All right. Actually that pictures from nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty six. I think he built the building in nineteen twenties,
Speaker 1: I think is what they were saying. So don't quote
Speaker 1: me on the actual date there. I should have wrote
Speaker 1: it down. But the yeah, the photos from nineteen thirty
Speaker 1: six of the guy with hook hands who naturally got
Speaker 1: into the ice business.
Speaker 3: So as you do. All right, that's a casey on
Speaker 3: the radio.
Speaker 1: If you want to go, you want to go check
Speaker 1: that bad boy out that you'll find it right there
Speaker 1: on our Twitter account. All right. Couple other things, As.
Speaker 3: Are we ross?
Speaker 2: We are?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna chat with Steven today? I didn't know yet.
Speaker 5: I'm texting him as we speak.
Speaker 3: Cool cool, cool?
Speaker 1: Oh we got and I heard I heard stage exin
Speaker 1: do we ambush him today?
Speaker 5: Yes? We do?
Speaker 1: Okay, I feel you guys don't know what's up. I
Speaker 1: just wait for it.
Speaker 5: Like I heard the news yesterday about Ray and I
Speaker 5: raised the teal flag of.
Speaker 1: Oh no, the vengeance.
Speaker 5: Flag, the teal flag of vengeance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I ran did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and whether it's our red flag of vengeance. And
Speaker 1: Ross is such a jerk, He's like, I don't think
Speaker 1: that's red, right, Just stick it right in Iran's eye
Speaker 1: a little harder. You guys don't even do red right, trying.
Speaker 5: To turn into that like that dress. You know what
Speaker 5: I mean? Your flag isn't even red, losers, it's gold.
Speaker 1: What some guy gets executed for the wrong flat? Oh
Speaker 1: that's that sound. That would be a North Korea thing
Speaker 1: for sure. Man.
Speaker 3: All right, if you should I tell the audie no, all.
Speaker 1: Right, So yesterday yesterday? So be So being up here
Speaker 1: in Ashville is I my my counterpart. His name is Mark.
Speaker 1: You've heard Ray reference him before. His name is Mark Starling,
Speaker 1: and he does the morning show on the talk radio
Speaker 1: station that our company owns in Ashville. And so I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Where I'm broadcasting, we can see each other. We're literally
Speaker 1: across the hall from each other, and so the commercial
Speaker 1: breaks because we all kind of go to break at
Speaker 1: the same time. We're popping into each other. Mark and
Speaker 1: I've known each other for years and we're just shooting
Speaker 1: the breeze talking about this. He's telling me about the
Speaker 1: family and all of this, and uh, I was I
Speaker 1: One of the things that we thought would be funny
Speaker 1: is if when it's time to do the Ray hit,
Speaker 1: because his hit happens right when they come back from
Speaker 1: break with Ray, I guess instead of Mark's voice being there,
Speaker 1: it's me and then Ray for a hot second is like,
Speaker 1: am I dialed into the right station?
Speaker 3: What is happening?
Speaker 1: But the timing just really hasn't worked yet, and he goes, well,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we could do it during a Polka
Speaker 1: Friday or no, what was it accordion for?
Speaker 3: I can't remember what he calls it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we figured it out yesterday because in the segment,
Speaker 5: the very first segment with Ray, we had mentioned a
Speaker 5: French joke somehow accents were in the conversation. I don't
Speaker 5: even recall how. And you said, oh, you know, Ray,
Speaker 5: are you actually French?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 5: And we made some sports nigger, oh Schwartzenegger right right
Speaker 5: right now? That sense would work in Hollywood, you know,
Speaker 5: wouldn't be the same if he had, you know, sounded
Speaker 5: like you know, quote in America, And I.
Speaker 1: Just made a joke.
Speaker 3: I'm like Ray's actually French.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, So coming back the second time, I like
Speaker 5: ate forty five or whatever. I came back with some
Speaker 5: French music the intro Ray and he said something about
Speaker 5: the accordion, not remembering the French conversation from the previous hour,
Speaker 5: and he was like, oh you get starling spilled the tea.
Speaker 5: But and we figured out and I asked him, I said, Ray,
Speaker 5: do you played the accordion? Like that's some sort of secret?
Speaker 1: And he does, he does, but but but more than that, right,
Speaker 1: So I immediately because now Ross and I are like,
Speaker 1: what the heck's going on? So we go to that
Speaker 1: break so that we you know, we come back with
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger. So during that break I walk over to
Speaker 1: Mark Studio and I'm like, what the hell, man, what's
Speaker 1: going on? I guess Ray plays the accordion on the
Speaker 1: air for him on Fridays.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a benchmark bit they do every Friday.
Speaker 5: What do they call it?
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I can't remember what it was, but
Speaker 1: Ray will tell us because we will extract this information
Speaker 1: from him in just a few short minutes. How are
Speaker 1: how how long has Ray been our weather guy?
Speaker 5: I can't even remember who is before Ray?
Speaker 1: We had Tony right, yeah, it's been yeah, but Ray's
Speaker 1: been the guy for.
Speaker 5: Dude twelve years or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And he held out.
Speaker 3: This from us.
Speaker 1: He held out on us all of this time. We
Speaker 1: could be serenaded by raise. Is he good on the accordion?
Speaker 5: I bet you he's good. I bet you he's super good.
Speaker 3: Probably.
Speaker 5: I also want to know your question yesterday us on
Speaker 5: the air, because Ray's a big dude, He's like a giant.
Speaker 5: Does he use a giant accordion? Or is it like
Speaker 5: a because.
Speaker 1: He probably crushed a regular one, right like like even
Speaker 1: calling man just I don't know, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: he owes you know how much accordion he owes us? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna shut up down in case he's
Speaker 1: already on. I don't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 1: prepare in himself. We're gonna hit this, We're gonna hit
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit this cold, and we're just gonna see
Speaker 1: what happens, and who knows, maybe a whole new thing
Speaker 1: will develop.
Speaker 3: Because uh, I.
Speaker 1: Want some of that, right, Ross wants some of that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna make We're gonna make it.
Speaker 3: Happen.
Speaker 1: Uh, real quick, my tea has this h They just
Speaker 1: they just released a big study about AI, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of terrifying. I'm not I'm not gonna lie kind
Speaker 1: of terrifying. Let me give I'm gonna tease you with
Speaker 1: just the first part of this of it and then
Speaker 1: I will get into all the details, like if you're
Speaker 1: on the fence as to whether AI is a good
Speaker 1: thing or a bad thing. It you know, for most
Speaker 1: people it depends on the situation. If you want AI
Speaker 1: to explain the conflict in the Middle East as a pirate,
Speaker 1: groc will do that for you.
Speaker 3: Just go on Twitter.
Speaker 1: That is literally something that people do and and it's
Speaker 1: funny and that and that's fine. But also if you know,
Speaker 1: certain industries are very nervous.
Speaker 3: About AI because what if.
Speaker 1: Your job could be done by AI, or at least
Speaker 1: your boss thinks it can, then that's probably not a
Speaker 1: good thing for you. But the bigger problem is what
Speaker 1: it's doing to our brains. And we kind of talked
Speaker 1: about this a little bit either yesterday or the day before.
Speaker 1: Where I can remember my friends, my best friend Travis's
Speaker 1: phone number, I'll never forget it from.
Speaker 3: When I was when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I still know it. I don't know Ross's number. My
Speaker 1: phone does, though, right and until he blocks me, and
Speaker 1: and so that once you don't have to do the
Speaker 1: thinking or the remembering on things, and he got something
Speaker 1: else to do it for you. That's really handy, dude.
Speaker 5: The only phone numbers I know now are my friend
Speaker 5: Phil's growing up living around the corner from my mother,
Speaker 5: friend Dave lived down the street on Congress Street, my own,
Speaker 5: and my wife's. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's it, because you don't have to and and we
Speaker 1: don't think about that as as learning loss, but it
Speaker 1: kind of is well with when you get into the chat.
Speaker 1: They studied chat GPT and they did brain scan studies
Speaker 1: of people and a bunch of different scenarios.
Speaker 3: And remember, you guys know the movie Idiocrasy.
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that's how we got there in that movie,
Speaker 1: even though they don't really explain it other than the
Speaker 1: breeding thing, like that's going to be part of it.
Speaker 1: So here's the one nugget I'll get you, and then
Speaker 1: we'll get into the rest after we're done chat with
Speaker 1: Ray here in a moment, eighty three percent of chat
Speaker 1: GPT users couldn't quote from essays they wrote minutes earlier,
Speaker 1: because you have no incentive to remember anything, even stuff
Speaker 1: you're processing and put together using the AI that you're
Speaker 1: kind of guiding it. Once it's done, you don't retain
Speaker 1: any of that information. So you did the research, and yes,
Speaker 1: in this case, they didn't have them write the whole essay,
Speaker 1: but they used it to source and provide the nuggets
Speaker 1: of info that were incorporated in it. Right, it's kind
Speaker 1: of the halfway thing, right, But you don't retain any
Speaker 1: of it. So feasibly, you just studied something to learn
Speaker 1: about it so that you can communicate it to another person.
Speaker 1: But you didn't learn anything. That's just we're just getting started.
Speaker 1: Let's get rased agent here so we can learn some stuff.
Speaker 4: What do you want to learn? Where is he? Where
Speaker 4: is he?
Speaker 3: Why? Why?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 10: Because I know what you guys are gonna do. You're
Speaker 10: gonna pull You're gonna pull a fast one on me
Speaker 10: right next to you.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, he's not on the air today.
Speaker 1: No he's not. I'm on the air. He's not on
Speaker 1: the air today. How did you not you know he's
Speaker 1: not on the air because you didn't do a live
Speaker 1: hit with him.
Speaker 10: Well, I thought that since I saw you too kind
Speaker 10: of chumping it up yesterday together on the interwebs, I said, oh,
Speaker 10: maybe they're gonna try to pull a fast one on
Speaker 10: me here today.
Speaker 4: I know not of what you think about it. Nothing.
Speaker 3: Could you say it in accordion?
Speaker 4: I could?
Speaker 1: But what how is it possible? Not only do you
Speaker 1: play the accordion apparently, well, then you hold out on us,
Speaker 1: and then on you go cheat on us with another
Speaker 1: station where you do it for them on Friday.
Speaker 3: Why do you call it on Friday?
Speaker 10: Well, starting tomorrow it's gonna be called squeeze Box Friday.
Speaker 4: Squeeze Box Friday, squeeze Box Friday.
Speaker 10: I think we got sales. I think we've got sponsored.
Speaker 10: I don't know we're gonna.
Speaker 1: Get How do we get in on this? Where is
Speaker 1: your accordion? Is it right next to you?
Speaker 4: No, it's it's in the basement.
Speaker 10: I've got to dust it off and fix a couple
Speaker 10: of my bellows and see if.
Speaker 3: I've got any.
Speaker 1: Theory.
Speaker 5: But the reason you were into it was because of
Speaker 5: the area of New York that you were. I know,
Speaker 5: I know where I was, Schenectady. We had like Polish
Speaker 5: music festivals and the PBS. You had like polka down
Speaker 5: at the the VFW, like it's a big deal that
Speaker 5: Polish culture in the accordion. So I was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: Y got into it.
Speaker 1: So so he's swimming and women.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was a real go getter. In high school,
Speaker 10: they were lining up trus Maybe next hour, I one
Speaker 10: to two minute story about the how how it all started.
Speaker 4: Now you've got time now, because that's the difference.
Speaker 3: Oh so here's a quick nobody's really doing.
Speaker 10: Here's a quick story. My father was a picker, all right,
Speaker 10: so he used to go to the county landfill. Found
Speaker 10: the first accordion that I played, actually kind of forced
Speaker 10: to play by my mom and come from an Italian
Speaker 10: family in the county landfill.
Speaker 4: Brought it home.
Speaker 10: It was in good condition, it played, and we had
Speaker 10: a friend who was in a polka band that always
Speaker 10: used to play the local firehouse for the weddings that
Speaker 10: we used to have with the fire hole, you know
Speaker 10: how all that goes with the.
Speaker 4: Italian And he taught me how.
Speaker 10: To play the accordion and then we got rid of
Speaker 10: that one, got my second according which I still have
Speaker 10: and now I can still play that I haven't played
Speaker 10: it since COVID, but dusting it off tomorrow for bucks.
Speaker 1: No, I got the impression you had played for them already,
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be new for me.
Speaker 5: I think I have Okay, is it a regular size
Speaker 5: accordion or do you have like a giant size one?
Speaker 5: Because you're a big dude.
Speaker 10: I would say it's more regular size. It does look
Speaker 10: a lot smaller on me than when I was a teenager,
Speaker 10: But listen, I was hot. Can you imagine dating the
Speaker 10: guy who played the accordion and going to a senior
Speaker 10: problem with he? Just think about that for a minute.
Speaker 10: I am unique.
Speaker 1: I mean nobody else how you never questioned the origin
Speaker 1: story of your first according because if it was a
Speaker 1: working condition you found in the landfill, that means somebody
Speaker 1: somewhere relative played it. They hated it so much they
Speaker 1: threw it out. Probably that person.
Speaker 4: Well you go with that story, and I'll go with mine.
Speaker 1: No, not you, I'm saying, whoever put it in the landfill?
Speaker 4: Well that's what I mean. You go with that story. Well,
Speaker 4: how do you think get thrown.
Speaker 1: Out by a genie?
Speaker 10: You got thrown out by accident? Did you ever have
Speaker 10: that where you're like, hey, where's my star wars? Oh
Speaker 10: what was in that bag? I threw hi out?
Speaker 5: Could be thrown out in It's like distraught for the
Speaker 5: rest of his life, exactly.
Speaker 4: Look at that distraught I am about you.
Speaker 1: All right, this is happening. This is happening tomorrow, So
Speaker 1: prepare yourself.
Speaker 4: I will.
Speaker 10: I might as well just roll right in. Heat's coming
Speaker 10: storms today later could be severe heating next Today could
Speaker 10: be close to one hundred. The real heat comes over
Speaker 10: the weekend. I mean, it's gonna be darn hot today too,
Speaker 10: but we could be near one hundred in the triangle
Speaker 10: by Monday and Tuesday. Multiple days of dangerous heat coming.
Speaker 10: All right, tell me if I got more time, I
Speaker 10: get plenty of time with Mark, so I'll be more.
Speaker 1: Than Yeah, well, well we'll make it happen. We'll have
Speaker 1: to do it in this second in this segment, though,
Speaker 1: can I have the business report in the other ross?
Speaker 1: Could you play our man out here?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 7: We go?
Speaker 1: All right, raced Ajic. We'll talk in an hour, so
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Oh bah, all right, and we will. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back live broadcast going on from the mountains
Speaker 1: of North Carolina up here in Nashville all week and
Speaker 1: you know we're doing our thing. I am. I'm getting
Speaker 1: much fatter, so that's probably, but that's my own fault.
Speaker 1: Just run around, eat and everything. So and even though
Speaker 1: it is a holiday, Stephen Kent's joining us. How you doing, sir?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 2: I have returned from vacation. Nice to be with you.
Speaker 1: Oh, we assumed you're on one of your secret missions
Speaker 1: things again. So you were just on vacation or is
Speaker 1: that what you have?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I have to say. Yeah, there's this
Speaker 2: conspiracy theory out there that I am a secret agent though,
Speaker 2: so I allow this to happen, and I appreciate that rumor.
Speaker 3: I would. I would as well. So no, but did
Speaker 3: you go glamping again?
Speaker 1: Or we were glamping?
Speaker 2: We were supposed to go blamping in West Virginia, but
Speaker 2: as most of the East Coast has witnessed that flooded
Speaker 2: flooded out, that's going to have to wait before my
Speaker 2: travels to Vienna, Austria next week for non spy related business. Definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to Vienna, dude, bring money. Vienna is expensive, dude.
Speaker 2: I'll be on a I'll be on a I'll be
Speaker 2: on a company card language or something that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, what time when do we leave go to
Speaker 1: Vienna and have schnitzel.
Speaker 3: It'll be great.
Speaker 1: So, right, a couple couple of things, man, Ross, I
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out. I think Ross passed it along
Speaker 1: to you. I'm fascinated by this MI I t study
Speaker 1: with chat GPT and really what it does to our brains.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of useful stuff here. By
Speaker 1: the way, I did notice at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: comments people asking GROC to summarize it. You're missing the point,
Speaker 1: the whole point of this, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this study for folks, because this is pretty.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I teed up just
Speaker 1: the first few points, so let's go ahead and get
Speaker 1: into it basically, And this is stuff you cut and
Speaker 1: you know I call it's the phone number phenomena. Ross
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this literally the other day.
Speaker 1: It's I remember my best friend's phone number from high school.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't know Ross's phone number. Oh
Speaker 1: oh whatever, my phone breaks. Ross ain't getting bugged. I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be able to call him. So when we
Speaker 1: make these trade offs, right, I had to remember Travis's
Speaker 1: phone number back in the day, so that wherever I was,
Speaker 1: I I want to call over or what you know,
Speaker 1: then I could do that. Now I don't, and we're
Speaker 1: you know, people are comfortable with it even if they
Speaker 1: recognize it. The problem is, like one of the nuggets
Speaker 1: here is they had people use an assist an AI assists,
Speaker 1: so they didn't just have AI write an essay. They
Speaker 1: used it to basically fill in factoids and whatnot, but
Speaker 1: they didn't retain any of them. And when you're writing
Speaker 1: an essay, you know, back in our day, you go
Speaker 1: get the Encyclopedia Britannica or maybe the Internet during the
Speaker 1: early iteration, you pull the information down, you cobble it
Speaker 1: together in a reasonable fashion, and you retained at least
Speaker 1: some of it. That was the intent. That's why they
Speaker 1: made you write essays in school. Eighty three percent of
Speaker 1: users couldn't quote any of anything for anything from the
Speaker 1: essay that they had just used AI to assist in preparing.
Speaker 3: Minutes before.
Speaker 1: How that's bad, man, Like this is how idiocracy happens, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 2: You know. Part of this part of this study that
Speaker 2: was posted by Alex Vaka you know, it's noting that
Speaker 2: shat GPT does in fact make you sixty percent faster
Speaker 2: at completing tasks, but it reduces and again a lot
Speaker 2: of this is scientific jargon, which I don't fully understand.
Speaker 2: Your your main cognitive load needed for actual learning by
Speaker 2: thirty two percent, so you're just not actually retaining information.
Speaker 2: It makes the human being into a widget, and that
Speaker 2: should be alarming to everybody, particularly people who are like
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists about capitalism and markets. Like, I'll give them this,
Speaker 2: like what we are being turned into as widgets that
Speaker 2: are made to produce, produce, produce complete tasks, and so like,
Speaker 2: what is the point of completing work sixty percent faster
Speaker 2: if you just have to do more work? It's just
Speaker 2: to me, it's not It's not something that I'm super
Speaker 2: excited about, and I'm not feeling like cause for celebration.
Speaker 1: There is upside. I'm going to get to that here
Speaker 1: in a moment. One of the other things that I
Speaker 1: think was pretty alarming is they were talking about employees
Speaker 1: becoming so dependent on the AI tools that they're unable
Speaker 1: to do their job otherwise. But the secondary effect is
Speaker 1: it also makes them less capable of critical thinking and
Speaker 1: independent things when they're not using AI, so they're not
Speaker 1: training their brain in the one area, and then as
Speaker 1: a result, they're not using the it to its full
Speaker 1: capacity when they're doing non AI related tasks. That's where
Speaker 1: the damn gap gets done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned like the cell phone numbers phenomenon. Another
Speaker 2: one of those things is the use of Google Maps
Speaker 2: and any really navigation app to get basic places inside
Speaker 2: your own town or zip code. You know a lot
Speaker 2: of individuals and I have looked at a study about
Speaker 2: this months ago, and guess what, I can't retain it,
Speaker 2: but you know, this study basically just indicated that most
Speaker 2: people turn on their navigation when they're getting anywhere. And
Speaker 2: they justify it by saying they want to know when
Speaker 2: they're going to get there, they want to know if
Speaker 2: there's a traffic jam two blocks up the road, they
Speaker 2: want to make sure that there's not a road closure
Speaker 2: so they can detour. But effectively, what they end up
Speaker 2: doing is they have a blacks a black hole where
Speaker 2: understanding of their own city grid would normally go. And
Speaker 2: so I always say this, if the lights were turned
Speaker 2: out on you tomorrow, could you make it home to
Speaker 2: a safe place yeah, and I think I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people actually would really.
Speaker 3: Struggle that, you know, that's all.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a pet peeve, but
Speaker 1: it's it's what. It's something I've never understood. And I'm
Speaker 1: not bragging here. If if I get taken a place
Speaker 1: one time, even if I'm not driving, like if I'm
Speaker 1: the passenger and I go somewhere and that I can
Speaker 1: get myself back there, probably without a map, and I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just because I was raised
Speaker 1: in the wilderness kind of. I mean that seriously, Like
Speaker 1: I always knew what east, west, north and south is,
Speaker 1: even in the woods, right, even if you can't see skyline,
Speaker 1: I could pretty much tell you. And it's just it's
Speaker 1: like an internal thing, and and a lot of people
Speaker 1: are like that. A lot of people just inherently aren't
Speaker 1: like that. So you couple that with your lights out
Speaker 1: scenario and you just stand there and wait for the
Speaker 1: bear to each you me, because that's yeah, you should
Speaker 1: want to work on.
Speaker 2: That kind of just connecting this in a way to
Speaker 2: pop culture. You know that that Star Wars show and
Speaker 2: or that got so much attention over the past couple
Speaker 2: of months. You know, Season one of the show touched
Speaker 2: on this, where like one of the rebels is sitting
Speaker 2: there with Cassy and Andor in the woods, and he's
Speaker 2: holding a manual StarPath device basically just a galactic GPS
Speaker 2: that allows you to travel all across the galaxy. And
Speaker 2: he is insistent to and Or that it's important that
Speaker 2: you know how to manually use the device because all
Speaker 2: of the automatic technology that's coming out of the Empire
Speaker 2: basically enslaves you to their tech, and so that you
Speaker 2: cannot be free unless you know how to fix it,
Speaker 2: to appair it, to use that thing. And this is
Speaker 2: absolutely true for everybody listening. You know. I don't think
Speaker 2: that any of us are enslaved to Google, but you
Speaker 2: will realize again if the lights go out, that you
Speaker 2: essentially are. So you got to start building that muscle
Speaker 2: to be dependent and chat GPT this is just one
Speaker 2: of those things too. I'm a writer by trade. I
Speaker 2: use chat GPT again with that sort of idea of
Speaker 2: productivity saving a little bit of time, but it does
Speaker 2: take something away. It takes away a little bit of
Speaker 2: your patience, and it takes away a bit of your
Speaker 2: ability to do the research component of writing the unpleasant part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's two things. One going back to what you
Speaker 1: just said, did you see in the in the thread there?
Speaker 1: The which, by the way, you go to at KC
Speaker 1: on the radio. If you want to follow along or
Speaker 1: read this in your own time, I would encourage you too,
Speaker 1: and don't have AI summarize it for you. I will
Speaker 1: find you. They said that, They said teachers didn't know
Speaker 1: which essays used AI, so they you know, the game
Speaker 1: some essays that humans wrote and AI wrote. However, they
Speaker 1: were able to identify them, describing them as soulless, empty
Speaker 1: with regard to content, close to perake language, while failing
Speaker 1: to give personal insights. It's one of those things where
Speaker 1: you can just feel something's off, and that's kind of
Speaker 1: AI in general. You just like when it's rendering video
Speaker 1: and you just feel that something's off, even though it's getting.
Speaker 3: Really good at it.
Speaker 1: It's almost like it's almost like the soul, the soul.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's like it is the ability to recognize
Speaker 1: as soul, which is I don't know, kind of an
Speaker 1: intrinsic thing.
Speaker 3: So maybe that's what saves us. I don't know, man, we're.
Speaker 2: Doing going deep here, Yeah, and I edit op eds
Speaker 2: and articles, you know, for a living, and so I
Speaker 2: received them from my clients all day and so everyone
Speaker 2: listening uh here on the radio. You know, when you
Speaker 2: send somebody a piece of writing that you did, if
Speaker 2: you're dealing with like an experienced editor, they can sense
Speaker 2: it immediately. They know what is AI written. And one
Speaker 2: of the things that young people have pointed out is that,
Speaker 2: you know the term M dash, the very long hyphen
Speaker 2: yah zoomer apparently don't know it as the M dash.
Speaker 2: They call it the GPT dash because they it is
Speaker 2: something that chat GPT uses so much, the M dash,
Speaker 2: that they thought it was sort of like a native
Speaker 2: feature of chat GPT writing. You know, it's typically something
Speaker 2: that you slap onto the end of a paragraph just
Speaker 2: to sort of punctuate it differently and make a point.
Speaker 2: But M dashes are throughout chat GPT's writing model, and
Speaker 2: it gives you away. Nobody uses M dashes that much.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's what happened to the pound sign man, Right, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a hash.
Speaker 5: I love M dashes though, yeah, I do. Hunter Thompson
Speaker 5: used them a lot, and I like, so I look
Speaker 5: at it, I'm like, well, I want to use it too.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: We're just right now. So that's that's literally what we've
Speaker 1: transitioned to. The the I said, there is one positive
Speaker 1: thing here, and I'll end this this particular topic on this.
Speaker 1: If you're already smart, actually it can it like AI
Speaker 1: is not bad for you. In fact, people with strong
Speaker 1: cognitive baseline showed higher neural connectivity when using AI rather
Speaker 1: than dumb, so like, it also creates an intelligence gap.
Speaker 3: Right, you're smart, well, and here's the idiots.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's a real risk. And I will say,
Speaker 2: I mean, looking at this, one of the things that
Speaker 2: I treat as a little bit of a red flag
Speaker 2: with this whole study is that I can't actually verify
Speaker 2: in most of it that it's even even real or true.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm looking at screenshots and brain scams and
Speaker 2: all of this stuff, and I'm like, I don't understand
Speaker 2: any of this. I assume that this is all accurate
Speaker 2: and it did come out of him tea, but it's
Speaker 2: just like one of these things where I'm like, ah,
Speaker 2: just because I saw it on the internet, I don't
Speaker 2: know if this is even even real. So not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no no, And I pulled the thread
Speaker 1: from an article. I just I found the thread which
Speaker 1: was summarized right. So in a way, even though a
Speaker 1: person did it, I think, what if.
Speaker 5: The study was produced by Chad GBT though you didn't
Speaker 5: even know that.
Speaker 3: Dude, you still where I was going to go with this.
Speaker 1: But I don't know that the and it is it
Speaker 1: is MI T published. But I to Ross's point, do
Speaker 1: I know AI didn't write do the study? So yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, that's crazy.
Speaker 3: You mentioned the kids.
Speaker 1: Ross was telling me you guys were talking about I've
Speaker 1: heard some of this stuff with texting, like like if
Speaker 1: you put a period, you can offend somebody who's young,
Speaker 1: and I don't A lot of times I hear this
Speaker 1: stuff and it's just that generational, all those next generation's idiots.
Speaker 1: So I always take that stuff with a grain of salt.
Speaker 1: But there are real world differences. And I got to
Speaker 1: tell you if I can get on my old man
Speaker 1: kick again, like the way that I see that some
Speaker 1: kids text, it's almost like Sanskrit man, and do they
Speaker 1: do they come and then we all are again speaking
Speaker 1: the same language? Or is am I just watching the
Speaker 1: front side of the evolution of the language and being
Speaker 1: grumping about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean the reason this was on my mind
Speaker 2: is there was this viral, viral tweet out last week
Speaker 2: and it said that millennials use LOL like stop at
Speaker 2: the end of a telegram. So imagine the Titanic hitting
Speaker 2: an iceberg and I go, we've hit an iceberg. Lol,
Speaker 2: please send help, LOL, thinkingyolo, send telgram. And then I
Speaker 2: was looking at my text messages with Ross actually and
Speaker 2: two out of every five text that I send and
Speaker 2: with LOL as a peak millennial, none of Ross's include
Speaker 2: this at all. And I think it's because millennials like
Speaker 2: with the period on the end of the sentence of
Speaker 2: a very short sentence. They want to communicate I'm not
Speaker 2: mad at you, I'm not mad at you, everything's good
Speaker 2: all the time. There's sort of this incredible nervousness about
Speaker 2: being on the wrong side of somebody, and LOL is
Speaker 2: like this marker that gives millennials insecurity away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, real quick.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this the beginning of the show and
Speaker 1: it was ty So Trump was asked about the the
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson interviewing, hold on, I'm just stringing at my button.
Speaker 1: Burro up here all right here we go was talking
Speaker 1: about Tucker Carlson. Obviously they've they got the there was
Speaker 1: a little bit of beef or a lot of beef.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't believe anything I read anymore,
Speaker 1: but I found it very interesting that Tucker Carlson, as
Speaker 1: a journalists would call and apologize to Trump. Let me
Speaker 1: play this audio real quick, and this goes back to
Speaker 1: the Ted Cruise and really check this out.
Speaker 6: The Tucker Carlson Senator Ted Cruz interview. It seems like
Speaker 6: this issue on whether or not the United States should
Speaker 6: strike is kind of dividing a lot of your supporters.
Speaker 7: Now, my supporters, I for me, My supporters are America,
Speaker 7: make a Marga great again. My supporter is don't want
Speaker 7: to see you around having new grow up. And Tucker's
Speaker 7: a nice guy. He called and apologized at the end
Speaker 7: of the day because you thought he said things that
Speaker 7: were a little bit too strong, and I.
Speaker 1: Appreciated that, and all right, I'll cut it there. He
Speaker 1: also says Ted Cruise is a nice guy. And I
Speaker 1: remember him accusing or wondering aloud if Ted Cruse's dad
Speaker 1: had a hand in the Kennedy execution.
Speaker 3: So I mean the I mean, I.
Speaker 1: Never know, but then you know what the Trump elon
Speaker 1: beef and now it's not beef, but one person said
Speaker 1: the other person was on the Epstein list.
Speaker 3: This is one.
Speaker 1: This is why I would never do well in national politics.
Speaker 1: But holy hell man, your thoughts. I got about thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: I'm always stunned at how vindictive Trump can be, but
Speaker 2: also how quick to grace he can be. You know,
Speaker 2: it's one of those things where if you just call
Speaker 2: and apologize and say I got a little hot headed
Speaker 2: and everything, he's usually the it's like, yeah, that's what
Speaker 2: we do. That's what this is all about. We fight
Speaker 2: and then we say sorry and move on. She is
Speaker 2: very good at that, and I think it's actually one
Speaker 2: of his endearing qualities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, hey, Stephen, I'm up against it, but
Speaker 1: I appreciate you calling in.
Speaker 3: Take the rest of the day, sir.
Speaker 1: All right, you got it Chorley with some audio because
Speaker 1: well I tortured Ross because he had to dub it
Speaker 1: in and I got tortured.
Speaker 3: Because I had to listen to it.
Speaker 1: So you will not escape, but real quick this so
Speaker 1: you guys know that they found like human remains at
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's mansion in Rhode Island. Right, so they finally
Speaker 1: identified the guy. He's a thirty one year old former
Speaker 1: marine from let's see Massachusetts, Rizly, Yeah, thirty one year old.
Speaker 1: So not only is she murdering people, she's killing veterans.
Speaker 5: You know, so I've heard enough. She needs to go
Speaker 5: to prison.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, but in all seriousness, they do not expect
Speaker 1: suspectout play. They did find his vehicle at one point
Speaker 1: and they thought it had just been dumped. So now
Speaker 1: it's connected and they don't know if he like was drunk,
Speaker 1: got in the water, suicide situation or what. And it's
Speaker 1: a beachfront mansion, so that's where the remains ended up.
Speaker 1: But also, you know, maybe it's evidence, So there's that.
Speaker 1: You can't have too much evidence because Ross was just
Speaker 1: telling me something else. And now I'm gonna watch Is
Speaker 1: this on Netflix or whereas this? Yeah?
Speaker 5: You know this is their new fascination. It's about the
Speaker 5: guy who is allegedly the Gilgo Beach Likes murder serial killer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the killing all the hookers.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And now there's a new documentary out. There was one
Speaker 5: out and then there's a new one that's actually produced
Speaker 5: by Curtis Jackson fifty cent Okay, and all right, and
Speaker 5: you know he's not in it at all, but he's
Speaker 5: a producer. But this one takes place in the house
Speaker 5: where they're saying the murders might have taken place because
Speaker 5: his family still lives there. So it's like an interview
Speaker 5: with his wife and kids, and it's fascinating and this
Speaker 5: woman is so in denial.
Speaker 3: So just give me the bullet points here, dude.
Speaker 5: So every time, it turns out every time that she
Speaker 5: would go on vacation with the kids, right, hey, to
Speaker 5: take the kids and we're gonna go to Iceland.
Speaker 1: What are you going to do on gone, honey?
Speaker 5: Right, So it happens that every murder took place while
Speaker 5: she was away with the kids on vacation. So when
Speaker 5: she went to Iceland, or when she went to Six
Speaker 5: Flags or whenever, it was like when they were gone
Speaker 5: for a good amount of time for weeks, that's when
Speaker 5: every murder would take place. And there was one time
Speaker 5: where and she's talking in the interview, you can tell
Speaker 5: she like she so believes still in her husband, that
Speaker 5: he's innocent.
Speaker 1: And even though that's a pretty that's a pretty damning
Speaker 1: bit of circumstantial not just circumstances.
Speaker 5: There's tons of DNA evidence, like tons of DNA evidence.
Speaker 5: On one of the bodies, they found hairs of not
Speaker 5: just him, but also his daughter and his wife.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was doing the honey do list while she.
Speaker 5: Was gone, right right right, So she said, like, you know,
Speaker 5: just to prove how you know, good of a husband,
Speaker 5: he is. One of the times when she they went
Speaker 5: a vacasion, when she came back, he surprised her with
Speaker 5: a brand new bathroom. All the tiles were new, the
Speaker 5: tub was new, the toilet was, the sacres new, the
Speaker 5: walls were painted. Everything was brand new, spick and span.
Speaker 5: And she's like, you know, he's just he's just a
Speaker 5: good provider, he's a family man.
Speaker 3: I'm like, he murdered her in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Dude. Dude telling me if Marky took Lincoln to go
Speaker 1: visit her family, as she's done before, and she came
Speaker 1: back and you had renoed the bathroom, that that's the bainting.
Speaker 5: I have done stuff before. When she's gone, we're like,
Speaker 5: you know, I fixed the door or I've done this
Speaker 5: sort of yeah, and it wasn't even the wife was like, oh,
Speaker 5: he's just so great.
Speaker 1: It's such a provider. He's a family man.
Speaker 5: He went never They're like, I don't know, man, there's
Speaker 5: like a lot of circles. How about the DNA and
Speaker 5: said he spit set up and it's just this.
Speaker 1: Point woman, he's completely in denial. But it's not like
Speaker 1: it's not like he had a how to list right.
Speaker 5: Right, So anyway, so they find three hundred to four
Speaker 5: hundred devices in this secret room that was in the house. Right,
Speaker 5: there's all these next to his giant gun safe, which
Speaker 5: fair play to him to have the gun safe. It
Speaker 5: was pretty amazing, like a walking vault, and guns were
Speaker 5: never used in any of them, so shall not be
Speaker 5: in fringe. Good for him, Yeah, even though the Feds
Speaker 5: took his guns pigs, right, But that's there is a
Speaker 5: secret room. There was a secret room next to the
Speaker 5: giant walking gun vault that the family was not allowed
Speaker 5: to go into. During the interview, they're talking to the
Speaker 5: family and they're like, yeah, we were never allowed in there.
Speaker 5: We have no idea what's in the secret room. The
Speaker 5: daughter's like, I've never been in a secret room. I
Speaker 5: have no how could you wouldn't you be like, we
Speaker 5: need to go in that secret room like right now.
Speaker 1: Well, for first I would stop calling the secret room
Speaker 1: and I call it the murder room.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, So anyway, in the secret room, and also
Speaker 5: this place of business in Manhattan. He was an architect.
Speaker 5: They thought they'd go through four hundred something devices to
Speaker 5: look for like you know, forensic evidence. And they found
Speaker 5: that he had bought these programs to destroy all the
Speaker 5: all the information on a certain number of these computers.
Speaker 5: So they find experts that can bring them back.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait was it the Hillary thing?
Speaker 5: Right? Like the bleach bit stuff. So they find some
Speaker 5: experts like with the rag, right with the rag and
Speaker 5: the hands. Yeah, and they find this list, this Microsoft
Speaker 5: word document, and the Microsoft word document is the most
Speaker 5: chilling thing you've ever read. After watching it, less night
Speaker 5: to go back and look it up. It is chilling.
Speaker 5: It is a list of how to do serial killing,
Speaker 5: how to how to find.
Speaker 1: Out my return audio is not there? Ross you just
Speaker 1: keep talking about it.
Speaker 5: So how to how to find the victims, what victims
Speaker 5: should be?
Speaker 1: This is what happens when he broadcasts remotely. Sometimes do
Speaker 1: but keep talking so I can hear what hoose how
Speaker 1: to dispose of for whatever reason, I.
Speaker 3: Get these weird dropouts about fifteen seconds.
Speaker 5: How to use kitty litter to clean up you know,
Speaker 5: like human.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there we go. Okay, now you're back.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: That was weird.
Speaker 1: Sorry, so weird, so weird.
Speaker 5: That segment right there, that thirty seconds Marconi, it was
Speaker 5: so good. It's super guilty allegedly.
Speaker 3: What what do you think it would take the wife?
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I bet he could tell her that
Speaker 1: he did it.
Speaker 5: The kill list they found, like the list of things like, hey,
Speaker 5: you should get new tires, you know between kills, and
Speaker 5: you should you know, wear booties and gloves, and you
Speaker 5: need to take off tattoos if the victim has them.
Speaker 5: Like this document is so damning. Combined with the DNA evidence,
Speaker 5: he's so guilty allegedly.
Speaker 3: Wait, you don't have a murder document on your I
Speaker 3: do not. I mean you wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Say if you did.
Speaker 3: So all right, let's let's get this. Let's get this
Speaker 3: out of the way.
Speaker 1: I don't know why all of the worst people on
Speaker 1: TV yesterday all decided simultaneously.
Speaker 3: To be extra worse, but whatever.
Speaker 1: But when you're on the view and you lose joy,
Speaker 1: behar because what you say is so crazy. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess that's that's amazing to me. And you'll understand right
Speaker 1: now what it was, because here is the audio. So
Speaker 1: this is Sonny and and Whoopee who have themselves a
Speaker 1: little theory that the others are not abiding by.
Speaker 3: Just listen to this.
Speaker 11: Let's just remember to the Iranians literally throw gay people
Speaker 11: off of buildings. They don't hear the basic humans.
Speaker 5: Let's not Let's not do that.
Speaker 2: Let's not do that, because if we start with that,
Speaker 2: we had we have been known in this country to
Speaker 2: tie gay folks to the car.
Speaker 11: Where but where the Iran.
Speaker 1: People?
Speaker 11: So he did not even the same. I couldn't.
Speaker 5: No, that's not what you mean to say. It is
Speaker 5: the same.
Speaker 11: No, it's not the year twenty twenty five. The United
Speaker 11: States is nothing like if I stepped foot wearing this
Speaker 11: young interro, I'm sorry, we direction. I can't have my
Speaker 11: hair showing, I can't wear a skirt, I can't have
Speaker 11: my own I'm telling you, as I literally said, it
Speaker 11: was up to the Iranian people.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is up to and that's why I am
Speaker 1: saying that it is the same. Murdering someone for their
Speaker 1: difference is not good. Whoever does it's not good. So
Speaker 1: that's why I said you you weren't saying what you
Speaker 1: What I heard was not what you meant.
Speaker 11: I think it's very different to live in the United
Speaker 11: States in twenty twenty five than it is to live
Speaker 11: in an you're black, not for everybody, not if you're black.
Speaker 1: Okay, And again if they'd just kept the separation and
Speaker 1: will be when I'm talking about the nineteen twenties, again,
Speaker 1: it's not apples to apples because the motivation is different
Speaker 1: and all that. But however, you can talk about But
Speaker 1: that part she adds at the end, where the woman
Speaker 1: is trying to clearly point out that she means twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, Tehran, twenty twenty five New York right where
Speaker 1: they all live are kind of different and woopee, just
Speaker 1: can't She's like, Nope, nope, if you're black, it's either
Speaker 1: as bad or worse than it is in Iran. Right now,
Speaker 1: if you're somebody a woman who dares show skin, or
Speaker 1: somebody who is thought to be gay, like she didn't
Speaker 1: even get a jump in from the others. Just you know,
Speaker 1: Sonny's there kind of rooting her on. But no absolute insanity,
Speaker 1: absolute insanity or I got a couple other clips. We'll
Speaker 1: get those in the final segment of the shows, Ray
Speaker 1: ready to go, mister accordion man, Hey, accordion man? Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's no little mini quits? The little mini accordion looks
Speaker 1: like an octagon or just I'm probably not an accordion.
Speaker 3: You know what what is that?
Speaker 10: I think they call it a squeeze box that actually
Speaker 10: squeeze box.
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you just.
Speaker 1: By proxy play that as well?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 10: No, no, I don't like Yeah, I mean I'm not
Speaker 10: old nimble fingers. Do you know who that is they
Speaker 10: used to His nickname was nimble Things.
Speaker 1: That was my nickname in high school.
Speaker 4: In college, Lawrence Lawrence Welk. Look him up.
Speaker 10: I mean some great accordion playing Lawrence Welk.
Speaker 4: He was old.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: No. So one of the stations I worked out in
Speaker 1: Minnesota runs a program called her Katie on the Air.
Speaker 1: It's for They've run him for fifty years. It's a
Speaker 1: weekend program. And they just played Polka and it gets numbers.
Speaker 1: It gets numbers. Yeah, yeah, they on r FD they
Speaker 1: show that stuff. Whether My wife just looks at me
Speaker 1: as like really, I said, no, you want to try
Speaker 1: this She's like, no, do not.
Speaker 4: Especially she did not, But.
Speaker 10: Let me tell you it is a party favorite, especially
Speaker 10: at the Saint Patrick's Day party that our principal every year.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like I said, my wife always just says, he's all
Speaker 4: mine ladies.
Speaker 3: All right, what you got man?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 10: Some concern today. It's not really the heat. I think
Speaker 10: tryad load nineties, maybe mid upper nineties triangle. But later
Speaker 10: this afternoon into early tonight. Yeah, let me see before
Speaker 10: I put my foot in my mouth. Yeah, we're still
Speaker 10: in a slight risk for severe storms. I think that happens.
Speaker 10: Some severe could be hail wind, gusty wins, damaging wins,
Speaker 10: maybe some isolated tornadoes too. So kids at ballgames are
Speaker 10: gonna be out later this afternoon, this evening. I'll just
Speaker 10: be ready for that. Tomorrow is gonna be a little
Speaker 10: bit better day, mid upper eighties, and you may notice
Speaker 10: a little different feel to the air mass. But it's
Speaker 10: quickly gonna go away. We're gonna have the first full
Speaker 10: days of summer coming up. Saturday, Sunday, upper eighties load
Speaker 10: nineties Saturday well into the ninety Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, maybe
Speaker 10: even Wednesday could be close to the upper nineties for
Speaker 10: the tryad a little bit cooler or not as hot
Speaker 10: triangle maybe load of mid nineties. You get the picture. Hazy, hot, humid,
Speaker 10: kind of yucky out there and heat index over one
Speaker 10: hundred degrees.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, thanks for the misery. We'll chat tomorrow
Speaker 1: with the excellent with the musical. All right, thank you.
Speaker 1: Ray's gonna play the accordion. Everybody, do not miss it.
Speaker 1: This is appointment Radio.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: We will be right back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang on,
Speaker 1: Jeff's not here, so Ross is gonna be Jeff. What's
Speaker 1: going on there?
Speaker 3: Jeff Ross?
Speaker 5: Ross? Jeff?
Speaker 3: Why can't say Jeff Ross? That's a guy? Well, good morning.
Speaker 3: Did you do anything normal today?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: I did not see Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's your favorite kind of pizza?
Speaker 5: Well, okse you I've never had pizza.
Speaker 3: Oh no, okay, all right.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Jeff, appreciate that. Okay, back to Realville.
Speaker 1: By the way, I got the weirdest But Boston Paul
Speaker 1: keeps emailing me saying that Ray informed us of the
Speaker 1: poke of this accordion thing, and we've just ignored it.
Speaker 1: You're put down. I know it's a holiday. Don't start
Speaker 1: drinking this early.
Speaker 5: Man, maybe it's like a Mandela effect thing.
Speaker 1: Oh well, didn't we have a theory that you and
Speaker 1: I jumped into a different multiverse?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we said your name possibly could yeah. Yeah, And
Speaker 5: we still have the evidence ower of the case. The
Speaker 5: Odeal show is sponsored by wind Donation.
Speaker 1: And then we jumped into another one because then it
Speaker 1: was the ODEA. But so maybe maybe we're maybe everyone's
Speaker 1: right anyhow, No, but this is this is the email.
Speaker 3: I got this morning. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I will look into it, all right, So Ben Road,
Speaker 1: he said, what's going on with the National parks and
Speaker 1: selling the two hundred million acres of land of trying
Speaker 1: to find info?
Speaker 3: Are we?
Speaker 1: Are we selling the National Parks? I had not seen that.
Speaker 1: Now I do know that Trump talked about selling land.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you somebody from Wyoming, and this
Speaker 1: permeates a lot of the Western United States. We hate
Speaker 1: how much land the federal government owns in our states.
Speaker 1: And in fact, the federal government is the top land
Speaker 1: owner in several states. In fact, they owned most of Nevada,
Speaker 1: like most of that is owned by the Feds. But
Speaker 1: you know, out in the West, from the National Forest
Speaker 1: to the bl m stuff all of that. It's in Wyoming.
Speaker 1: The federal government and the railroads are the two largest landowners,
Speaker 1: so that. But I don't think they're selling the national parks.
Speaker 1: If they are, I call DIBs on Yellowstone. So that's mine, Ross,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta national park. You want if they're
Speaker 1: if we're going to sell these or.
Speaker 5: Actually already bought Yellowstone.
Speaker 1: What no, no, no, no, no no no, that's my back.
Speaker 5: No, it was going to be a gift. I was
Speaker 5: going to gift it to you, but.
Speaker 1: I ruined it. Oh man, well I was very thoughtful,
Speaker 1: love you. So yeah, I don't think they're selling the
Speaker 1: national parks. I think that might be a bridge too far.
Speaker 1: But the idea of selling federal land, that might make sense,
Speaker 1: but i'd have to see each chunk. But these and
Speaker 1: the other beef is is that when families settled out there,
Speaker 1: such as mine did, and it was one of those
Speaker 1: situations where essentially you fence it, you own it kind
Speaker 1: of thing, although you did have to pay some stuff,
Speaker 1: and they went through a process of reclamation of land
Speaker 1: and it knocked the size of our place down over half. Right,
Speaker 1: So you could have national forest. You can do all
Speaker 1: this other stuff and they're just like, not yours anymore.
Speaker 1: But you can lease it in perpetuity for next to nothing,
Speaker 1: but it's just but it's not yours anymore. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of hard feelings on that stuff. It'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see. All right, one more just because I
Speaker 1: apparently they finally got the message that's saying if we
Speaker 1: deport all the people who's going to pick the crops
Speaker 1: might come across as a little I don't know, little
Speaker 1: racisty or however you want to describe it. So Anna
Speaker 1: Navarro's on CNN and she's decided to pivot. Let's see
Speaker 1: if this sounds any better.
Speaker 12: And look, what's going to happen here is that we're
Speaker 12: going to find that milk gets a lot higher. Because
Speaker 12: I don't know if any of you have ever been
Speaker 12: in a dairy farm. It is god awful work.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't believe you've driven past a
Speaker 1: dairy farm.
Speaker 3: Screw you.
Speaker 1: I have. I have, even though my family's you know, beef,
Speaker 1: like I know dairy farmers and it's hard work. But
Speaker 1: I don't get me wrong, it's hard work.
Speaker 5: I have a question about this. Yeah, yeah, isn't that
Speaker 5: like all like, it's all machines now, right, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Well, it is when you're Yeah, they're not physically pulling
Speaker 1: on the otters.
Speaker 3: You get it.
Speaker 1: You're a milking parlor. But it's a lot of work.
Speaker 1: You got to get the girls in and out. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of cleaning, you have to maintain the animal. Arguably,
Speaker 1: some my friends are gonna get mad at me. I
Speaker 1: think dairy farming is probably harder than beef ranching, for
Speaker 1: for the continuation of the year. Beef Ranching is just
Speaker 1: very intensive certain parts of the year, calving seasons and
Speaker 1: nightmare right, and then he got branding. But you know,
Speaker 1: once you're in a summer feed program, you're just basically
Speaker 1: you just this is what I tell people. Ranching is
Speaker 1: just mostly for uh, during the downtimes, mitigating stupid.
Speaker 3: You just drive around and.
Speaker 1: You're like, what what did this dumbass do today? And
Speaker 1: it's like, ah, I'm a cow who thinks he can
Speaker 1: fit in a gopher a hole. Like that's your day,
Speaker 1: that's your day, just keeping them alive.
