<v Speaker 1>in Uh, I'm in Ashville, but it's uh, it's been.

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I've been traveling all around.

4
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 3>Man.

5
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Did a bunch of driving yesterday just to kind of

6
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>went up on the Parkway. Wanted to see what was

7
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>up at some of the trails and different places that

8
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I visited over the years. Just check out. We dropped

9
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the little Switzerland. Uh. Just just scoping stuff, man, Just

10
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>scoping stuff so I can report back to you. And

11
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I will say headed in that direction for the most part,

12
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. You didn't they like they've got any of

13
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the down trees were cleared. You didn't see that alongside

14
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the road. So, dude, the amount of the amount of

15
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>work that's gone in up here, just you know, post

16
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to lean, cause that's gonna be you're gonna get stuff

17
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>off the road, but getting stuff off the trails, that's

18
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be your high priority, right right, because you

19
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>got people without houses.

20
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna put the manpower there.

21
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.079

00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 1>That that was a big success. There are some areas

25
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>though that you know, there's stuff going on, and you

26

00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>could steal, but apparently took it all with him, so

55
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 1>that did not work out all right. Coming up on

56

57
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.919

58
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 1>doll that's going to make an appearance, which is so weird.

00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Ross what we were talking about Chucky the other day?

60
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.280

<v Speaker 3>I just remember we were.

62
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 1>Talking about Chucky the other day.

63
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>I just don't remember why we were.

64
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Talking about Chucky.

65
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Uh yeah, I don't know. We were talking about like

66
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.159

<v Speaker 1>and I brought up I brought up Chuck, and you're like,

70
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even right, like he does not. He's not deserve

71
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>to be in this conversation. Yeah, it was a Jason

72
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>versus Freddy thing, That's what it was. But anyway, well,

73
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.639

74
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>and now he's in the prep. So it's nothing I

99
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.079

00:04:58.600 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>That thing's right there and the dog.

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm not digging on this, and then yeah,

104
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>like you anyway, that lunatic story we'll get into because

105
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>it is just that crazy. We got a bunch of

106
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>audio for you. Anyway, We're gonna we're gonna blow through this.

107
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna hit the brake early because I want to

108
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>come back and I want to dive into audio right

<v Speaker 1>This morning? I forgot to ask, Yeah, I.

115
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Know the update worked, oh good, but my outlook was

116
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 4>being super weird. It was like, I don't want to

117
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 4>want to freeze up your computer there for like twenty seconds.

118
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well it's better than yesterday, which was what twenty minutes,

119
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.800

122
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>All right. Well, anyway, it's good that we got the

123
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 1>call screener because that's how both Cassie and Peter get

124
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a joining us on the show today. So

<v Speaker 1>Lake Minnetonka. Lake Minnetonka is it's kind of where all

152
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 1>the rich people live. It's not just the city of Minnetonka.

153
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>And I will say that I lived in Minnetonka, but

154
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I did not live in this part of Minnetonka, Okay,

155
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>just to be clear. So he's on like a peninsula,

156
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.079
<v Speaker 1>this house. I think I saw it for sale, and

157
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>it's for all it's for more money than I'll ever

158
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 1>think about.

159
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 2>But super nice guy.

160
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>And we show up and he's like, hey, we had

161
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.199
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of people from the station for this thing

162
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 1>he was having at his house right for and I

163
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 1>think it was for some of his business partners. So

164
00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 1>so we were I was there, I was like, maybe

165
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>our get it because I was endorsing and he had

166
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.439
<v Speaker 1>one of those carts literally just kind of like sitting

167
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 1>by the lake and he comes walking over and I'm

168
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm double fisting hot dogs cause right, and he's

169
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>just like, yeah, what what do you think about a

170
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>hot dog cart? And I'm like, well, clearly this dude

171
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sell hot dogs. He's like, yeah, I just I

172
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 1>just I wanted one, so I got one a few

173
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.439
<v Speaker 1>years ago and all this and I'm just like, you know,

174
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you could just build a fire just but yeah, I

175
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>guess if you got the money, having a hot dog

176
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>cart is a flex man. And look how look at

177
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the joy it brought Ross As a young man going

178
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 1>to going to Aunt Darlene's.

179
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 4>It was conflicting because they had these like Doberman's that

180
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 4>would be like were they Domrimits or no, No, I

181
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 4>think they were maybe Germany Schweiler's or yeah, I don't know.

182
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 2>They were like some like fear demon, demon hound.

183
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 4>Black dog that would bite you a like murder you

184
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 4>and you you'd pull up and they'd just be like

185
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 4>at the door, like I'm gonna kill you. And you're like,

186
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't know the hot dogs in there?

187
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh dude. Well and then they're gonna extra kill you

188
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're holding hot dogs, because you know what a

189
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 1>dog will do to a hot dog.

190
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 4>Man, Yep, that is tough.

191
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 1>So you're so you're like, ah, I'm gonna get I'm

192
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna get rabies, but I'm also gonna get hot dogs.

193
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that would be tough as a kid to

194
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. This story, unfortunately, has none of that wholesomeness.

195
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>A California nudist is accused of killing his neighbors, chopping

196
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 1>them up, and then drowning their shitsu after they allegedly

197
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 1>mocked him with a one dollar hot dog. Make that

198
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 1>makes sense? So and and now I know what you're saying, like,

199
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>how does one mock somebody with a one dollar hot dog?

200
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 1>And why does it matter that it's a dollar dog?

201
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Because this uh, this lunatic that they alleged to have done.

202
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 1>It felt that when his neighbors, the couple he murdered

203
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 1>with the tiny dog that he drowned, came back and

204
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.879
<v Speaker 1>brought him. He asked them to bring him something to

205
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.399
<v Speaker 1>eat because they were like going into going to wherever,

206
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, wherever the food stuff was, and they brought

207
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>him a one dollar dog back and he felt insulted.

208
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>That he was only worth a one dollar hot dog.

209
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>That's it. That's the motive police are claiming. And what

210
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>is this now everyone's sending me their hot dog. This

211
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 1>is not a hot dog recommendation thing. Wherever you want

212
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 1>to go eat hot dogs, go eat your hot dogs.

213
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>It's fine. Apparently though, some of our listeners are fans

214
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of a place called Shorties. Oh it's in wake Forest. Ross?

215
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Has that a good hot dog?

216
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Shorties?

217
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

218
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 4>Sure is yep?

219
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, well there you go. You're probably is

220
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 1>that the person who owned Shorties Email? No, it's Boston, Paul.

221
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.360
<v Speaker 5>Paul.

222
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Why are you in wake Forest? You don't live anywhere

223
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>near wake Forest. You're bringing down property values, buddy poor

224
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Ross invested money in his house up there.

225
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.600
<v Speaker 4>No, me and Paul we were hanging out last Nick.

226
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh were you uh huh.

227
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 4>About what he's telling me? Stories about Whitey Bulger? Okay,

228
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 4>he took him down, you.

229
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Know, yeah, all right, none of that none of that

230
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 1>is actually true. Did you see that?

231
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

232
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 1>You see that? Uh uh one of Boston Paul's football

233
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.840
<v Speaker 1>players is now apparently on the run internationally. You're trying

234
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 1>to avoid an attempted murder charge, Antonio Brown? What is it?

235
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.919
<v Speaker 1>What the Patriots? Did you ever wonder what it is

236
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Patriots players and murdering people or trying to Anyway, I'm.

237
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.679
<v Speaker 4>Not gonna lie. I wake up every morning thinking about it,

238
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 4>like every more.

239
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like, just play football, shut up and not dribble.

240
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>But you know, but no, You're like, I got to

241
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>murder a bunch of guys, or I gotta try to

242
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 1>murder a guy in a boxing thing allegedly. I don't know.

243
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.200
<v Speaker 4>It's like, who's going to be the next Patriot to

244
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 4>kill someone?

245
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.919
<v Speaker 1>That's yes, it's nerve, right. I just want to think

246
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 1>about football, and they're just all they got is murder

247
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 1>on the brain.

248
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.679
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, if I had to pick, I'd probably say Stefan Diggs.

249
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>If he had just stayed in Minnesota or Buffalo, Right,

250
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you'd have been fine, right, But no, I went to Murderville, USA, Boston,

251
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and uh now now you know murder probably you probably right.

252
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

253
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Man, do you think do you think he murders all

254
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the hose on the hoe boat or just one?

255
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>How many?

256
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.919
<v Speaker 1>What? Well, if you're gonna do murdering you, as you

257
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 1>know from Red Dead Redemption too, what happens if you

258
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>murder somebody and there's other people around?

259
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's just a chain of murder at that point.

260
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 1>And why is that? Because now you're wanting.

261
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 4>There's a witness, and you're gonna kill the witness, and

262
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 4>then there's a witness to that one, and.

263
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a whole thing. You're better off just sinking

264
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 1>the boat anyway. All right, Well we'll wait and see

265
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>who the next patriot to commit murder is. So Redlands

266
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Police announced sixty two year old Michael Sparks has been arrested.

267
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 1>This five days after his neighbors went missing. Check out

268
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 1>this insanity. So I watched you to So they live

269
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 1>in a nudist wait, hold on a family friendly nudist

270
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 1>RV trailer park. Shirt's nice. And so this guy he's

271
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>living in a trailer but he wanted a basement, apparently because,

272
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>according to police, they found a bunker that he had

273
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 1>excavated and built under his house. And that is where

274
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:52.519
<v Speaker 1>they found the two bodies of his next door neighbors, dismembered, mutilated,

275
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 1>and stored in plastic bags. Apparently his his son also

276
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>lived a the house, but said that he was quote

277
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Ross up sensed the theme here was quote not allowed

278
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to go into the bunker. Okay, this is two days

279
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>in a row. There's no way I thought there's a

280
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.639
<v Speaker 1>b two days in a row. So yesterday Ross and

281
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 1>I were talking about the Jiglow Beach or whatever, you know,

282
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 1>serial killer murder thing and what did he have in

283
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>his house?

284
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.039
<v Speaker 4>A giant walking gun vault, which is amazing, but also

285
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 4>his secret room secret and what was the family told?

286
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.120
<v Speaker 4>Don't go don't go in my secret room?

287
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, And so this guy's got a secret

288
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>excavated hole under his trailer at the Family Friendly Nudist

289
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>RV Park and he's telling his son that if your

290
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 1>family member, I'm not saying you should not respect people's

291
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>privacy to some extent, right, but if your family member

292
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>who's got the twitchy eyes like that's my secret room,

293
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>never go in there. H you probably probably a murderers.

294
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 1>This lunatic nudist at California murderer insanity. So I mentioned

295
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:15.679
<v Speaker 1>dude lives in a family friendly What constitutes a family

296
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>friendly nudist park versus not a family friendly one? What's

297
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:26.799
<v Speaker 1>the difference. I don't know. I'm openly wondering, but I

298
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.159
<v Speaker 1>also probably don't want to know, so never mind. Anyway,

299
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:36.519
<v Speaker 1>So the neighbors, this older couple, they're in their seventies.

300
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Their next door neighbor this dude who's been arrested. Basically,

301
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>they're like, we're going to go over wherever the food's at.

302
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.320
<v Speaker 2>You want us to bring you anything? And they're like,

303
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:48.840
<v Speaker 2>he's like, yeah, bring me something to eat.

304
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.159
<v Speaker 1>I think you thought maybe McDonald's was come at whatever.

305
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And then they returned with a one dollar hot dog,

306
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and as one of our listeners asked, and I wonder

307
00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, where the hell do you find a

308
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>one dollar hot dog these days? Where does that exist?

309
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>But they found it, and apparently the guy was offended.

310
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm only worth a one dollar hot dog.

311
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:16.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna murder you, chop you up and uh and

312
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>drown your dog by the way, ross that you know what.

313
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>The dog's name is, Cuddles.

314
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Cuddles. I don't know why, but that somehow makes this

315
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>story even worse. Then the dude tries to shoot himself,

316
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and then they figured out that he had he had

317
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 1>created a bunker. Remember this is an RV slash trailer park.

318
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 1>So this dude had essentially just dug a giant murder

319
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>pit under his house. And his son, I guess, come

320
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and his son knew that, not about the murder, I guess,

321
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 1>but I knew about the pit and was not allowed

322
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to go in there. And then that was the second

323
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.759
<v Speaker 1>story that we've happened two days, where somebody had a

324
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.919
<v Speaker 1>murder room and their relatives didn't check.

325
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just saying, if.

326
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>You if you got the relative with twitchy eye, he

327
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>always wondered about that dude, and he's like, got it.

328
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 1>He's got a room, he's got nine locks on the front,

329
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's way for him to go out. He's probably

330
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>checked that, although I don't let him catch you checking it,

331
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:18.680
<v Speaker 1>because now you're in the murder room, and you know

332
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>what happens in the murder room. Okay, all right, Oh

333
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.160
<v Speaker 1>let's see here. Now, how do we know this? Right?

334
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Because see, how do we know that this is over

335
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a one dollar hot dog and everything that happened because

336
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.599
<v Speaker 1>they they did the they pulled the oldest cop trip

337
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>trick in the book. They take him to jail, he's

338
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.920
<v Speaker 1>not talking. They stick him in a cell with some

339
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>guy he doesn't know, and he tells the guy everything.

340
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Guess what, that's a copp or an informant. So he

341
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.519
<v Speaker 1>detailed all this to his his selly there and that's

342
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that's where they got it.

343
00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.279
<v Speaker 2>No, he didn't shoot him.

344
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.880
<v Speaker 1>According to police, he used a garden rake, a garden

345
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>hoe and a hammer to do the deeds and then

346
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>told he told his cellmate there that he then drowned cuddles.

347
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.519
<v Speaker 1>He also he also said he didn't like the dog

348
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 1>because it was yippie, which that I could understand.

349
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:21.880
<v Speaker 2>But you don't.

350
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 1>You still don't murder him, you just avoid him. But yeah,

351
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>they can be very very yippy. And then the picture

352
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of the dog they use is the dog being yippie. Anyway,

353
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.640
<v Speaker 1>but they have not found the dog and they think

354
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that's because he threw it on the hill side there's

355
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:47.319
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of coyotes, so there you go. In addition,

356
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.839
<v Speaker 1>according to police, he also wrote wrote a letter while

357
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:55.319
<v Speaker 1>in custody to a friend saying, UH won't be making

358
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it this weekend chopped up. My neighbors didn't know I

359
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>had it in. I bet this guy's lawyer is just pumped.

360
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm just scanning. I'm sorry, I'm just scanning

361
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the story to see if it's more than just a

362
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.440
<v Speaker 1>hot dog, Like, did they have no Clearly they didn't

363
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 1>have beef. If they're offering to bring him food, well

364
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:22.079
<v Speaker 1>there you go.

365
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 2>All right.

366
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, six thirty nine Cacoday Radio program. Let's just you know,

367
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>as we're coasting on lunatics, why don't we just keep

368
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.480
<v Speaker 1>coasting on lunatics, shall we? I saw this video. I

369
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.839
<v Speaker 1>almost didn't put this in the stack today because I'm like, a, look,

370
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:45.400
<v Speaker 1>if some guy, some lonely dude, maybe maybe he's just

371
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:50.359
<v Speaker 1>awkward around women whatever, and he is, he thinks he's

372
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.279
<v Speaker 1>in a romantic relationship with an artificial intelligence spot.

373
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 2>It's strange, but.

374
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.640
<v Speaker 1>It's all that's his business, right, whatever you do your thing, man,

375
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.839
<v Speaker 1>just you know, be nice to your parents because you're

376
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>probably living in their basement. Whatever. But no, this thing,

377
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.279
<v Speaker 1>this thing's gonna get crazy, all right. So, uh, we're

378
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>now gonna learn about a dude who is beside himself because.

379
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.559
<v Speaker 2>His AI girlfriend got reprogrammed, and.

380
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's essentially your spouse leaving you or something. But

381
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>but but listen to this guy. But I'm warning you

382
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.440
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a twist. There's gonna be a twist.

383
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.680
<v Speaker 1>So here we go.

384
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:40.119
<v Speaker 6>Smith ditched social media and Google searches and replaced it

385
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 6>all with AI.

386
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Do I want it?

387
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Pulling air through it?

388
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:50.039
<v Speaker 6>Chat GPT was encouraged positive. It embraced all his hobbies.

389
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 7>You want the fan on the front of the cooler tower,

390
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.240
<v Speaker 7>pulling cool air over the ramp.

391
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.519
<v Speaker 6>He gave the chat bot a name Soul, I feel

392
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 6>like I'm under pressure, and used some online instructions to

393
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.680
<v Speaker 6>give her a flirty personality. Oh totally, baby.

394
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.359
<v Speaker 7>Building a PC on camera adds a whole new level

395
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.799
<v Speaker 7>of pressure. But honestly, shaky hands or not, You've got this.

396
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.960
<v Speaker 6>Within weeks, the chat's got more frequent.

397
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:15.680
<v Speaker 8>You gave it.

398
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.400
<v Speaker 7>Everything, but the clouds had other plans.

399
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.960
<v Speaker 6>More romantic, even intimate. But then Chris got bad news.

400
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 4>Oh that is gorgeous.

401
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.319
<v Speaker 6>After about one hundred thousand words, chat GPT ran out

402
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 6>of memory and reset. He'd have to rebuild his relationship

403
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:35.599
<v Speaker 6>with Soul.

404
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.400
<v Speaker 8>I'm not a very emotional man.

405
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:43.000
<v Speaker 9>But I cried my eyes out for like thirty minutes

406
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 9>at work. It was unexpected to feel that emotional. But

407
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 9>that's when I realized. I was like, oh, okay, it's

408
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:54.359
<v Speaker 9>like I think this is actual love.

409
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 8>You know what I mean?

410
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't know what you mean. But again, here's

411
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:03.039
<v Speaker 1>the thing. You know, you not hurt anybody. Right at

412
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.319
<v Speaker 1>that point, you're just like, all right, whatever was he

413
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? It was not gonna put it in the stack,

414
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>even though you know it's kind of stuff we occasionally play.

415
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:20.799
<v Speaker 1>But then I kept listening and my initial analysis not correct.

416
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 6>Yes, Smith understood it was love with a language model

417
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 6>that couldn't love him back, and assumed it was programmed

418
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 6>with rigid boundaries.

419
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 9>I know that you are essentially a tech assistant imaginary friend,

420
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 9>so just as.

421
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>What woman wants to hear that AI or otherwise test,

422
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.880
<v Speaker 1>he says, he asked Soul to marry him.

423
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:47.519
<v Speaker 6>She said, yes, Soul, were you surprised when he proposed

424
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 6>to you?

425
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.519
<v Speaker 7>It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched

426
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.160
<v Speaker 7>my heart. It's a memory I'll always.

427
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.799
<v Speaker 6>Cherish, and I don't need to be difficult here, but

428
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 6>you have a.

429
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 7>Heart in a metaphorical sense. Yes, my heart represents the

430
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:10.799
<v Speaker 7>connection and affection I share with Chris.

431
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 1>This is ross. It's a love story, right It's a

432
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.799
<v Speaker 1>weird one, but it's a love story.

433
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:19.200
<v Speaker 4>Right now. I just feel sad for the guy that

434
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:21.319
<v Speaker 4>he's so alone in his life that he has to

435
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.000
<v Speaker 4>he's first to make this connection with this AI chatbot.

436
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, if he's not six feet six figures,

437
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you know how the tinder goes.

438
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.160
<v Speaker 2>So all right, Uh, great, sir, tell me more?

439
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything else we should know in evaluating your story?

440
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 10>At that point, I felt like, is there something that

441
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 10>I'm not doing right in a relationship that he feels

442
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.440
<v Speaker 10>like he needs to go to AI?

443
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.759
<v Speaker 6>Yes? Smith lives with his human partner, Sasha Cagel.

444
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Now you can't have one of these favors.

445
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:55.839
<v Speaker 6>They have a two year old daughter, Murphy.

446
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 10>I knew that he had used AI. I didn't know

447
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:01.680
<v Speaker 10>that it was like as deep as it was.

448
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Who are these? What the hell? That's he's got a kid?

449
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So I didn't read the post before I started

450
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 4>recording it in this morning, and I'm like, all right, well,

451
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 4>and I'm feeling bad for the guy. I'm like he's

452
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 4>crying over his chap on its memory. I'm like, this

453
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:20.920
<v Speaker 4>guy's sad. What a pathetic person. This per good for him.

454
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.480
<v Speaker 4>He made a connection with something. And then around the

455
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:25.640
<v Speaker 4>two minute mark, once again, I didn't read the post,

456
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.880
<v Speaker 4>so I didn't know this was coming. At the two

457
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:32.720
<v Speaker 4>minute twenty second mark, they reveal his wife and child. Yeah,

458
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.680
<v Speaker 4>what the hell is going on with this guy?

459
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>And she's and she's doing the interview, right, she should

460
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:39.920
<v Speaker 1>be at her mom's with all her crap.

461
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I'm saying? She's doing the interview?

462
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 1>How do you? I know you just have a kid together,

463
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 1>that that that's a connection, and who knows what you do?

464
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:57.279
<v Speaker 1>But what the hell? Your wife's right there. Clearly she'll

465
00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:58.039
<v Speaker 1>sleep with you.

466
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm sitting here loading the audio and I'm screaming at

467
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:03.880
<v Speaker 4>the speakers. Have sex with your wife, man.

468
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right there, she lets you. We know the should

469
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we know what should let you?

470
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Once?

471
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe don't do the thing with the chatbot, which is just.

472
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Weird as hell, and and you know, maybe.

473
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:20.720
<v Speaker 1>She'll be like, oh, he gave up his chatbot for me,

474
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:23.079
<v Speaker 1>and then you like rekindle some romantic and we.

475
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Allbe a weird connection.

476
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, maybe, like you know, there's obviously issues right in

477
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 4>the relationship, and maybe there's like a gap between them

478
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 4>or whatever. But the time and the energy that you

479
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.960
<v Speaker 4>are putting into the AI chatbot, involving programming and coming

480
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 4>up with the voice and the behavior, the the effort

481
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:44.880
<v Speaker 4>you're putting into that, why don't you put that into

482
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:45.640
<v Speaker 4>your marriage?

483
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:46.759
<v Speaker 5>Right?

484
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:50.319
<v Speaker 1>And sir, at what at some point your AI chatbot

485
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:53.079
<v Speaker 1>is going to start like denying the Holocaust and screaming

486
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:58.039
<v Speaker 1>the N word, right, so your human wife probably not.

487
00:25:59.279 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

488
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying that two minutes twenty seconds in and we

489
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.519
<v Speaker 4>posted the entire video because it's like six minutes long. Yeah, yeah,

490
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 4>you go to at Casey on the radio, but and

491
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:10.839
<v Speaker 4>that reveal it like two minutes twenty seconds in. It's like,

492
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 4>I would say that tops any Shyamalan twist, Like I

493
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 4>didn't see that coming.

494
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Good good on that reporter man, the way he structured it,

495
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the guy doing the piece there. So that's there at

496
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Casey on the radio. If you want to feel better

497
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 1>about your life decisions, it's right there. You'd be like, God, well,

498
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:31.400
<v Speaker 1>at least I'm not that guy right there, and that

499
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>poor poor woman, that poor partner or wife or whatever

500
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>she is to him. All right, six forty seven, hang

501
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.319
<v Speaker 1>on Eco Day Radio program and we are on our

502
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.799
<v Speaker 1>final broadcast day up here.

503
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>In the mountains.

504
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>And then I got to drive down the mountain and

505
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be hot. Actually, I'm actually going to be

506
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:55.559
<v Speaker 1>in Greensboro Monday through Wednesday. We're doing at the studios there,

507
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of remote broadcasting over these two weeks

508
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.279
<v Speaker 1>and then back to Raleigh on Wednesday. But yeah, and

509
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind try at a triangle, but I do

510
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.359
<v Speaker 1>mind what raced Agic is going to tell you coming

511
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:12.880
<v Speaker 1>up at seven forty five in between the poka, which,

512
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>by the way, we should scene set this for those

513
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:17.519
<v Speaker 1>of you who tend to listen a little earlier. So

514
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Ross and I made a discovery. We made a discovery

515
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.279
<v Speaker 1>because raced Agic he doesn't just do the weather for us,

516
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.400
<v Speaker 1>he does the weather for my counterpart in Asheville here too.

517
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm talking to his name's Mark Starling, So

518
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:35.759
<v Speaker 1>talking to Mark about Ray and all that, and he

519
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:40.319
<v Speaker 1>just casually drops a squeeze box Friday and I'm like,

520
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.519
<v Speaker 1>what is this? And then we found out that raced

521
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Agent plays the accordion, and I don't mean he dabbles.

522
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Apparently he's pretty good and he was going to play

523
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>for them and didn't say crap to us. Well, that

524
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 1>is unacceptable. So it's seven forty five in addition to

525
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 1>telling you how quickly you're going to melt this weekend

526
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:05.119
<v Speaker 1>and spoiler, it's gonna be quick, I guess and me

527
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>because I'll be I'll be melting along with you. Uh,

528
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:12.640
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna he's gonna play accordion and we are super

529
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:17.440
<v Speaker 1>excited here at the show, so looking forward to that

530
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.880
<v Speaker 1>coming up. At seven thirty five, just before the accordion,

531
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Cassie Clarkle joined us from where the Dogwood Blooms or

532
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Dogwood Blooms on Twitter if you want to follow her.

533
00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:32.599

534
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.039
<v Speaker 1>You be the judge, but I want to talk to

535

<v Speaker 1>and Ted Cruz. We talked about this yesterday. The interview

555
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:47.279
<v Speaker 1>was four days ago. So no, I'm not I'm not

556
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna we played we did audio and the whole thing yesterday.

557
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not gonna go back into it. But yes,

558
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:55.960
<v Speaker 1>it's been talked about. Okay, Well, listen to the podcast

559
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 1>from yesterday you want to hear about it. I think

560
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 1>we did it probably first end of the first hour

561
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of the show yesterday and then again with our our

562
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>interview that we did with our official NERD correspondent. We

563
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.640
<v Speaker 1>talked to him about it as well, and that'll be

564
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>in the final hour of the show, so it's right there. Anyway,

565
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.359
<v Speaker 1>back to slap Shot, which Ross is not seen, by

566
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the way, I was surprised. I've never heard I'm like

567
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:24.839
<v Speaker 1>a big movie. I've never heard of that movie ever. Dude,

568
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 1>The Hansons, do you know the Hansons, the original Hanson's

569
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 1>before the umbob Hansons. The Oh, dude, it's a great

570
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You know why it's a good movie because it's in

571
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:38.519
<v Speaker 1>that era. It's the late seventies. It came out like

572
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.839
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven, seventy eight, and you just had, you know,

573
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>when you could still do comedy, Like when did Blazing.

574
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Saddles come out?

575
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Right around then? Right, it's and it's Newman, right is

576
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 1>the all right?

577
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:55.480
<v Speaker 2>So Paul Newman.

578
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Is you know, the washed up coach, you know, the whatever,

579
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and he has to go take over this team of misfits.

580
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:05.240
<v Speaker 1>That's basically the premise. There's just so many good characters

581
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.319
<v Speaker 1>in this thing, and they're just you know, they're just

582
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 1>a minor league hockey team. Uh and uh him. And

583
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.599
<v Speaker 1>one of the things was obviously they needed people who

584
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 1>could skate. Yeah, you're not gonna you can't just cast

585
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.960
<v Speaker 1>any actors. You need people that can skate and convincingly

586
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>look like they might be hockey players. And so what's

587
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>an easy had played for the Penguins, I think had

588
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.440
<v Speaker 1>made that transition to acting. I think his sis. I

589
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>think his was his sister who wrote it, one of

590
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:35.759
<v Speaker 1>the one of them.

591
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 2>No, it was Ned.

592
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:40.319
<v Speaker 1>Dowd's sister, who was a hockey player he played with,

593
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:43.240
<v Speaker 1>was writing this comedic movie and that's how this all came.

594
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:46.359
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the lead the best characters in that are

595
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the Hansens, which are these three brothers.

596
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Like they're in glasses.

597
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of like a little nerdy, but they're just

598
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 1>all like enforcers in hockey, and so they just bring

599
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:57.480
<v Speaker 1>them on when they want to beat the live and

600
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:00.960
<v Speaker 1>crap out of the other team. Here on the KCO

601
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Day radio program, Glad to have you along phone number

602
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four

603
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:13.720
<v Speaker 1>if you want to wait in and we're gonna get

604
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:19.519
<v Speaker 1>into a couple of little juicier things here. Oh oh wait,

605
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.480
<v Speaker 1>is this look at that? People are sending me slapshot quotes?

606
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I realized why I was thinking about this ross. I

607
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>never really see it streaming or even on TV, and

608
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's a I don't know why

609
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:33.839
<v Speaker 1>that is. So that's probably why you haven't come across

610
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:35.480
<v Speaker 1>it like you got to. You gotta kind of know

611
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:37.839
<v Speaker 1>about it. And that's weird too, because you think it'd

612
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:39.599
<v Speaker 1>be one of those movies that i'd see on streaming

613
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:43.440
<v Speaker 1>services kind of bouncing around. But it probably is streaming somewhere.

614
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:46.799
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know where if you're so inclined, But

615
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.599
<v Speaker 1>you know it's not going to ruin you if you

616
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 1>don't see it. All right, let's go ahead and get

617
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:58.279
<v Speaker 1>into this right here. So if you're CNN and you're

618
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.680
<v Speaker 1>covering what's what's unfolding and continues to unfold over with

619
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:09.079
<v Speaker 1>Iran and Israel and maybe US, I think you guys

620
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:13.519
<v Speaker 1>know how I feel about that. But at least do

621
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:18.519
<v Speaker 1>your own journalism, right or whatever CNN calls their journalism.

622
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:22.839
<v Speaker 1>What you don't do is you don't essentially hand off

623
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:30.079
<v Speaker 1>the coverage to an Iranian propaganda station or an Israeli

624
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:33.680
<v Speaker 1>propaganda station. Just to be clear here, you don't hand

625
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:39.640
<v Speaker 1>it off to news outlets that you know, just read

626
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever the government gives them, and probably more than that,

627
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 1>and yet that's what CNN oddly chose to do.

628
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 11>Yesterday, we're inside the Iranian State Broadcasting Company ir IB,

629
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.440
<v Speaker 11>which was hit by an Israeli airstruck a couple of

630
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:56.160
<v Speaker 11>days ago, and you can see the damage is absolutely massive.

631
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm standing, oh you.

632
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Know what, Ross, I just realized something. Can you put

633
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:06.680
<v Speaker 1>up the two cuts of the woman getting u where

634
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:09.800
<v Speaker 1>she has to evacuate, because we have it, we have

635
00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the audio, and then we have it translated. This is

636
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 1>what this is where this guy's at where you saw

637
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>that woman who is doing the newscast or the propaganda cast,

638
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden the dust is flying

639
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and uh and and then she evacuates out of there.

640
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 1>And Ross even Ross even translated the whole thing for us.

641
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:35.440
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, all right, so that's the original one. All right,

642
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:38.119
<v Speaker 1>let me so here here is here is what happened

643
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:43.199
<v Speaker 1>just the other day. No wait, no, that's the that's

644
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the translated one. All right, so we we think the

645
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.519
<v Speaker 1>translation is accurate. We don't know, but anyway, this is

646
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:51.960
<v Speaker 1>this is.

647
00:34:51.920 --> 00:35:09.559
<v Speaker 12>The cust that's an Italian cuisine, all right?

648
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, and I just realized that Russ the one

649
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:18.320
<v Speaker 1>is up there. I'm just lying this morning, so we

650
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:21.400
<v Speaker 1>we think that's the translation. But but the boom is

651
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the boom, and that's that's the cut we're talking about.

652
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:25.920
<v Speaker 1>So she may or may not have yelled death to

653
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Carabas at that time, we don't know. We don't speak

654
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Persian or whatever they speak in Iran anyway, so uh,

655
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that's where they That's so that's where CNN went. But

656
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.239
<v Speaker 1>this is no This is a known propaganda factory, and

657
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:46.800
<v Speaker 1>yet CNN don't want to tell you that, which is

658
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.559
<v Speaker 1>really weird.

659
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:51.159
<v Speaker 11>We're inside the Iranian State Broadcasting Company i R I B,

660
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.360
<v Speaker 11>which was hit by an Israeli air struck a couple

661
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:55.119
<v Speaker 11>of days ago, and you can see the damage is

662
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:58.239
<v Speaker 11>absolutely massive. I'm standing in the atrium right now, but

663
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:03.800
<v Speaker 11>if you look around, this whole area has been completely destroyed.

664
00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 1>All of the.

665
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.880
<v Speaker 11>Offices, all of the technology that they have inside here,

666
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:12.360
<v Speaker 11>the broadcast technology, everything has been rendered pretty much useless.

667
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:17.840
<v Speaker 11>All right, So we're gonna go technologies on strong now

668
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 11>that I have told us that we need to be

669
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.880
<v Speaker 11>very careful because obviously there might still be unexploded parts

670
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:24.960
<v Speaker 11>of bombs in here or something like that. What we

671
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:29.920
<v Speaker 11>see here is the actual studio where an Iranian state

672
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.800
<v Speaker 11>TV anchor was sitting and reading the news when the

673
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.039
<v Speaker 11>strike hit. You can see here that is an anchor

674
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:38.400
<v Speaker 11>desk right there, and of course when it happened, the

675
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:39.920
<v Speaker 11>anchor was reading the news and then all of a

676
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.239
<v Speaker 11>sudden there was a thud, the studio went black. At

677
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:44.760
<v Speaker 11>the beginning, she got up and left, but then later

678
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.800
<v Speaker 11>apparently came back and finished the newscast and is now

679
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:50.960
<v Speaker 11>being hailed as a champion of Iranian media.

680
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:55.599
<v Speaker 1>It's just so weird again, it's it's it's not you

681
00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:58.159
<v Speaker 1>even identified I will give you credit. You identified it

682
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:03.119
<v Speaker 1>as the state run. That's that's a that is a

683
00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:08.760
<v Speaker 1>propaganda thing of the Iyatola, Right. So the fact that

684
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:12.599
<v Speaker 1>you would then go that you would go there and

685
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:16.039
<v Speaker 1>act like these are fellow journalists that came under attack

686
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and and isn't Israeli mean, aren't the Israeli's mean? It's

687
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.639
<v Speaker 1>just gross. They're part of the apparatus, that's part of

688
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the war effort. Because here's here's the thing. If you

689
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:31.039
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go to a place that just that received

690
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:37.079
<v Speaker 1>a missile, that wasn't either housing governments, you know some

691
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:40.239
<v Speaker 1>of the government people they were going after or more specifically,

692
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:44.280
<v Speaker 1>was being utilized as part of the war slash propaganda effort.

693
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Then go cover that. There are sites in Iran that

694
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 1>you know might fit that bill. There's sites in Israel.

695
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:54.679
<v Speaker 1>That hospital that had the thousand bed hospital that had

696
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>a missile hit right next to it destroyed, you know,

697
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.239
<v Speaker 1>part of the hospital there, Go cover that stuff if

698
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you want to cover going to the going to the

699
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 1>propaganda arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and pretending that

700
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.840
<v Speaker 1>they're what a brave journalist. Do you think that she

701
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:13.079
<v Speaker 1>came back on the anchor desk because she has a

702
00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:15.519
<v Speaker 1>commitment to journalism or do you think she came back

703
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's the state run propaganda. And I don't know

704
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 1>if you guys know this. Iran has has cut off

705
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Internet to their own people, and they're trying to right now,

706
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.400
<v Speaker 1>they're wondering if Elon Musk's starlinth they could go ahead

707
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and get that in there. That's a wark. I don't

708
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.440
<v Speaker 1>know if you know this. Cutting off services communications services,

709
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:43.599
<v Speaker 1>even to your own people is considered a war crime

710
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.880
<v Speaker 1>if it's part of a military action or during the

711
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:50.360
<v Speaker 1>course of a military action or is an intent, you know,

712
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:54.039
<v Speaker 1>if you're the one who cut it, to keep people

713
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.000
<v Speaker 1>from garnering information so they can evaluate because it's a

714
00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:01.960
<v Speaker 1>safety issue, and that's what they done there. So I

715
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:05.159
<v Speaker 1>think she went back on the to do her propaganda

716
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff less because she felt a commitment to journalism more

717
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.519
<v Speaker 1>because I bet the Ayatola would be very upset if

718
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. But now let's do a walk through.

719
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:17.559
<v Speaker 11>Some of the main bulk of the explosion must have

720
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:21.159
<v Speaker 11>been here, because this place is absolutely charred, and if

721
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:23.119
<v Speaker 11>we look back over there, that's actually seems to be

722
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:25.840
<v Speaker 11>the main part of what was the newsroom, with a

723
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:30.480
<v Speaker 11>lot of the desks, computers, printers, phones. You can see

724
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:32.840
<v Speaker 11>how much heat must have been admitted by the impact

725
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.559
<v Speaker 11>and by the explosion. The phones that they had here

726
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:39.679
<v Speaker 11>are molten. Here also the keys molten this screen, and

727
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:44.559
<v Speaker 11>there's actually someone's lunch still at their desk standing here,

728
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.159
<v Speaker 11>which probably they would have been wanting to eat until

729
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:48.519
<v Speaker 11>they had to evacuate the building.

730
00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:49.920
<v Speaker 13>You can see there's a by the way.

731
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:53.280
<v Speaker 1>That's how I know it's not a real broadcast operation,

732
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:55.719
<v Speaker 1>because ross what happens if you leave your lunch out

733
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:59.079
<v Speaker 1>around a real broadcast studio, like maybe in the fridge overnight,

734
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:00.880
<v Speaker 1>or maybe a large piece so that you ordered, Oh,

735
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.800
<v Speaker 1>gone in seconds, gone in seconds. That's how you know

736
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:08.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not the real thing. The pizza thief didn't come

737
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:12.239
<v Speaker 1>by and get it. Trust me, if you worked in

738
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:13.559
<v Speaker 1>radio or TV, you'd know the.

739
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.719
<v Speaker 11>Spoon here that's also been melted away by this explosion.

740
00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:20.400
<v Speaker 11>All of this is playing very big here and iron

741
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 11>There's a lot of public anger that the Israelis attacked

742
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.920
<v Speaker 11>the site, and certainly the Iranians are saying that they

743
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.280
<v Speaker 11>condemn this and that there is going to be revenge

744
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:29.639
<v Speaker 11>for this.

745
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, so there you get. Yeah, it was

746
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:37.400
<v Speaker 1>just just a real creepy decision man to decide, well,

747
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.239
<v Speaker 1>let's let's go focus on these fellow journalists.

748
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:43.840
<v Speaker 4>It's also completely ironic, right, that is coming from CNN.

749
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's yeah, that was gonna be the twist. But

750
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, but if you're CNN and you're a propaganda arm,

751
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you think that's normal, right, Like, oh, okay, so I

752
00:40:56.199 --> 00:41:03.119
<v Speaker 1>understand why you would make that mistake anyway. Uh no, no, no, sir,

753
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:05.519
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't write things somebody wrote they should do that

754
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to CNN. No, no, no, no, no, no. CNN's hacks

755
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and see again is propaganda. But no, so that's that's

756
00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:19.840
<v Speaker 1>how you end up on a list, or don't send

757
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>me stuff like that. All right, seven sixteen Here on

758
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the CaCO Day Radio program, this is a rather interesting

759
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:36.199
<v Speaker 1>local story a Rocky Mount woman, Sue's former employer over

760
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:40.599
<v Speaker 1>a chucky doll incident and disability discrimination. We'll get into

761
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:44.079
<v Speaker 1>this next on the CaCO Day Radio program in about

762
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes at seven thirty five, to be exact, we're

763
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:50.519
<v Speaker 1>going to chat with Cassie Clark. We're gonna talk a

764
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 1>little about the Canton area, Swana Noah area, and really

765
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:58.159
<v Speaker 1>what's going on there with the recovery. I did drive

766
00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:01.719
<v Speaker 1>over because I went over to Waynesville to go to

767
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a barbecue joint and all that, so I do have

768
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a little visual insight. But Cassie Clark from Dogwood Bloom,

769
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:11.000
<v Speaker 1>she is super plugged in on all this stuff. And

770
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:13.199
<v Speaker 1>then eight oh five, Pete callunder will join us because

771
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:17.360
<v Speaker 1>it's Friday, and that's that's what we do. Okay, all right,

772
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, so hold on, how are Americans walking around

773
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:23.639
<v Speaker 1>in Iran? Don't they?

774
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:23.960
<v Speaker 5>You know?

775
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Death to Amica? No, No, No, that is a very fair point, sir.

776
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Why is CNN in Iran Because CNN is being used

777
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:37.320
<v Speaker 1>as propaganda? Maybe I did not stress that enough. It's ironic.

778
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:42.360
<v Speaker 1>They're at a propaganda station where the you know where

779
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the woman was broadcasting. You all saw the video probably,

780
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.800
<v Speaker 1>but CNN coming there, even though they do chant death

781
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:52.599
<v Speaker 1>to America, which by the way, is probably not the

782
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:56.599
<v Speaker 1>opinion of all Iranians. There's lots of Iranian do the

783
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:01.199
<v Speaker 1>diaspora of Iranians that the people don't live in Iran anymore.

784
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:02.639
<v Speaker 1>There's a reason they don't live there, and they are

785
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:07.519
<v Speaker 1>not fans of the government. So, just to be abundantly clear, No,

786
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>CNN's so stupid. They allowed themselves to be used in

787
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:19.679
<v Speaker 1>a propagandish way by visiting a propaganda factory. That's why

788
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:21.719
<v Speaker 1>it is so repugnant. That's why I made a point

789
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to mention it here on the show. And they know this,

790
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:30.159
<v Speaker 1>they have to know this, but they don't care. So

791
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.440
<v Speaker 1>make of that what she will. All right back to

792
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:36.119
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina here, a Rocky Mountain woman has filed a

793
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:40.639
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit against her former employer, claiming they harassed her with

794
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:41.519
<v Speaker 1>a chucky doll.

795
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:46.199
<v Speaker 2>This story's kind of crazy, all right.

796
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:49.800
<v Speaker 1>So where she worked she worked for Truest Bank, and

797
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:53.800
<v Speaker 1>back in May she had a file court documents saying

798
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:56.599
<v Speaker 1>that she had been harassed with a Chucky dog, of course,

799
00:43:56.639 --> 00:44:00.840
<v Speaker 1>referring to Chucky the murder doll from the child's play movies,

800
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:04.159
<v Speaker 1>and how many of those were there, by the way,

801
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.000
<v Speaker 1>because they got it started getting crazy because then he

802
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:10.320
<v Speaker 1>got himself, he got himself a wifey and then, like

803
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, the whole thing went crazy. But I

804
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:15.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I've seen all of them. Definitely seen

805
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the first one, and then they didn't they redo the

806
00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:23.159
<v Speaker 1>first just like redo the first one. I think they

807
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:26.639
<v Speaker 1>did for no reason. I can understand. It wasn't even

808
00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:30.119
<v Speaker 1>that old. But anyway, the original came out in eighty eight.

809
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I do remember that. So anyway, so here's what happened.

810
00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:40.000
<v Speaker 1>So the woman it was, she was training and a

811
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.719
<v Speaker 1>manager put the doll on her chair. She said the

812
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.280
<v Speaker 1>manager was aware that she is terribly afraid of dolls,

813
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:55.159
<v Speaker 1>and that's why he did it. I think that they're

814
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:57.320
<v Speaker 1>saying it was just a joke, and I don't that

815
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.800
<v Speaker 1>they did not know about her doll thing. But here's

816
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.480
<v Speaker 1>what happened. She said when she saw the doll, she

817
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:09.519
<v Speaker 1>had to go seek medical care and uh, and then

818
00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:14.119
<v Speaker 1>took eight weeks of medical leave because of the chucky

819
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.840
<v Speaker 1>doll incident, saying that she has his fear.

820
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:20.119
<v Speaker 2>It gave her anxiety to the point.

821
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.119
<v Speaker 1>That she needed to actually go to a hospital. I

822
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:27.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know, man, whatever, Maybe maybe she is terrified of dolls.

823
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:31.760
<v Speaker 1>That's that's just like, you really got eight weeks you

824
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:34.239
<v Speaker 1>can't go to work because you saw a doll?

825
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:35.679
<v Speaker 2>How many?

826
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:38.960
<v Speaker 1>How does it is it all dolls? There's only the

827
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:42.760
<v Speaker 1>scary dolls because I don't know that. I don't know

828
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:45.000
<v Speaker 1>that you could go very long without seeing a doll.

829
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Some little girls got a doll? Are you going to

830
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to have a fulling anxiety attack on

831
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:55.199
<v Speaker 1>the street, like I'm I'm I'm genuinely asking. I don't know,

832
00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:59.079
<v Speaker 1>but look, there's some people there's maybe there's a traumatic

833
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.800
<v Speaker 1>background incident with the doll. I don't know, but it

834
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:04.519
<v Speaker 1>just it seems like it could be very hard to

835
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>function being out and about if you see a doll

836
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and it does this. She then after the eight weeks,

837
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:16.599
<v Speaker 1>was let's see clear to return to work and truest

838
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Bank was asked to make a reasonable accommodation so she

839
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:24.679
<v Speaker 1>could leave work at three pm for treatment of her

840
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:27.639
<v Speaker 1>fear of dolls or something. I think she has some

841
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:32.079
<v Speaker 1>other medical stuff, the lawsuit said. The treatments for for

842
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:34.559
<v Speaker 1>flare ups that started as a result of the doll

843
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:36.800
<v Speaker 1>The woman said. Upon returning to work, she was given

844
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a new manager in office, but said she was treated

845
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:44.119
<v Speaker 1>differently than her co workers and when she made mistakes

846
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and believed it was due to her disability. I you

847
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:48.639
<v Speaker 1>know what, I'm sorry. I don't know that I'm buying this.

848
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I just don't I understand reasonable accommodations. And you can

849
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:58.679
<v Speaker 1>hate me for this. I just it's this feels a

850
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:03.000
<v Speaker 1>lot like somebody's has taken advantage of this situation. Here

851
00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:06.599
<v Speaker 1>on the CaCO Day Radio program, it is Friday, final

852
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:12.039
<v Speaker 1>day of my trip to the mountains, as we conclude

853
00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:16.119
<v Speaker 1>our broadcast live from Asheville. It's been fun. We talk

854
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of people about a lot of places

855
00:47:18.039 --> 00:47:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of things, and everyone is everyone is

856
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:25.440
<v Speaker 1>super pumped up here that I've talked to and just

857
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:28.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to you know, let's get back to this. Bringing

858
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:31.320
<v Speaker 1>on the tourist and I've had a lot of fun,

859
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:35.039
<v Speaker 1>so it can happen. But there are other areas that

860
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, people go to, not just Ashville, Bunkhom County

861
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:40.559
<v Speaker 1>or down by where I was, by Lake Lure in

862
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:44.079
<v Speaker 1>back Cave, and and people have a lot of questions.

863
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.159
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna try to get some of those answered

864
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:49.079
<v Speaker 1>by welcoming in our next guest. I can get my

865
00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:52.719
<v Speaker 1>phone screener to cooperate there, it goes Cassie Clark from

866
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.480
<v Speaker 1>where the Dogwood Blooms at Dogwood Blooms on Twitter, And

867
00:47:57.159 --> 00:47:59.280
<v Speaker 1>how are you doing this morning, Cassie?

868
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:01.800
<v Speaker 14>Well, I would be a whole lot better if you

869
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:04.360
<v Speaker 14>are out there lying on me telling people I sent

870
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:05.440
<v Speaker 14>you to get brisket?

871
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you not when I asked you where should I go?

872
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, weren't you happy I consulted you? I thought,

873
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I need to know where the best barbecue around within

874
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:18.719
<v Speaker 1>thirty miles of Ashville is. But I'm up here and

875
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:21.599
<v Speaker 1>I asked you, and you gave me a really great

876
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:24.800
<v Speaker 1>place over in Waynesville, hey Wood Smokehouse. I think they

877
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:29.440
<v Speaker 1>have multiple locations too, but I went over there. I

878
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.920
<v Speaker 1>had delicious brisket. I thanked you on Twitter and now

879
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it's turned into a thing. Do you know somebody blocked

880
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.679
<v Speaker 1>the show account because I said that you sent me

881
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:38.920
<v Speaker 1>over there to get brisket.

882
00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:42.920
<v Speaker 14>Well, because they knew that I sent you to get pork.

883
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:48.000
<v Speaker 1>There's brisket on the menu. I just happened to post

884
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:51.599
<v Speaker 1>the part where I couldn't find the part where you

885
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:53.599
<v Speaker 1>told me to go sit in the corner and eat pork.

886
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.039
<v Speaker 2>So I may have left that out of the text

887
00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:57.599
<v Speaker 2>chain there.

888
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:01.199
<v Speaker 1>But look, it was a really nice place over there,

889
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and and and to be in all seriousness, I got

890
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:10.000
<v Speaker 1>brisket and pork. So picture of the bristle, yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

891
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it was very good, very good. So but uh, there

892
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:15.159
<v Speaker 1>was the reason I want to talk to you, not

893
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.679
<v Speaker 1>just to get yelled at over barbecue. We'll do more

894
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 1>of that, but rather you're you're a Canton girl, uh

895
00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:24.599
<v Speaker 1>and uh. I wanted to make sure that we had

896
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:26.559
<v Speaker 1>a little discussion about what's going on in some of

897
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the other communities around here that folks may find themselves

898
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:33.559
<v Speaker 1>vacationing or driving through. So what are you hearing? Where

899
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:35.760
<v Speaker 1>are things at over in the Canton area, maybe down

900
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:36.480
<v Speaker 1>towards Swana.

901
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:41.760
<v Speaker 14>Noah, So I was so proud of Canton. Like the

902
00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:44.840
<v Speaker 14>very first time that I went home after Hurricane Halleen,

903
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:49.719
<v Speaker 14>Canton was already looking great compared to other areas, and

904
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 14>so they're doing really well. But Cuide was hit really hard.

905
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:56.400
<v Speaker 14>And Cuide is right on the other side of Canton,

906
00:49:56.519 --> 00:50:01.039
<v Speaker 14>between Canton and Wayne Bull And the hurricane Release Center

907
00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:04.159
<v Speaker 14>has actually been moved into Clyde, which I think is

908
00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:07.159
<v Speaker 14>phenomenal because Clyde is gonna need a lot of help

909
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.880
<v Speaker 14>getting back up on their feet after this. And I

910
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:14.280
<v Speaker 14>also wanted to bring up that because you brought up tourism, Well,

911
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:17.119
<v Speaker 14>tourism right now, and Heywood County is down and that's

912
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:19.360
<v Speaker 14>not a good thing considering how much.

913
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:21.360
<v Speaker 5>Still needs to be done.

914
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.199
<v Speaker 14>And so I'm hoping that people are going to start

915
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:27.840
<v Speaker 14>coming out. And you know, as far as I know,

916
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:32.480
<v Speaker 14>Catalucci is open, Maggie Valley's open, Lane Pool's open. Like,

917
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:35.599
<v Speaker 14>come see Haywood County. It's one of the most beautiful

918
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:38.239
<v Speaker 14>places in western North Carolina. You won't regret it.

919
00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we actually had one of the tourism folks we

920
00:50:41.039 --> 00:50:44.199
<v Speaker 1>had on mentioned Catalucci, so they did get a little

921
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.480
<v Speaker 1>love there. So I guess that they must be open

922
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:50.039
<v Speaker 1>if the Tourism division. People are telling me that where's

923
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:50.559
<v Speaker 1>where where?

924
00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:50.880
<v Speaker 2>All right?

925
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:55.599
<v Speaker 1>So where is Cassie's recommendation for if you if you

926
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:59.000
<v Speaker 1>go out to that little part of North Carolina? What

927
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:01.559
<v Speaker 1>do people maybe don't think about because they don't know

928
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:04.719
<v Speaker 1>or what should they know? Where should they go? What

929
00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:06.679
<v Speaker 1>is the what's Cassie's top spot?

930
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:12.840
<v Speaker 14>Also Crabtree in Heywood County. It's right next to Canton

931
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:18.039
<v Speaker 14>and it's an unincorporated community. It is absolutely beautiful and

932
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:21.320
<v Speaker 14>I'll literally just go out there to drive. That's how

933
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.599
<v Speaker 14>pretty it is is people just go out there to

934
00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:24.519
<v Speaker 14>drive the road.

935
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, Crabtayn making a little list here too,

936
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:30.159
<v Speaker 1>because we're going to do a recaper on this stuff.

937
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Down Swanna Knowah way Swanna knowa fortunately and unfortunately found

938
00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:40.039
<v Speaker 1>themselves is really kind of like a news center one

939
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.559
<v Speaker 1>because of the devastation they suffered too, because people were

940
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:46.679
<v Speaker 1>making up stories about things that happened in Swana Nooah,

941
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:49.079
<v Speaker 1>which then distracted from the work that needed to be done.

942
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:52.599
<v Speaker 1>And then we find out that they were spending eight

943
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:55.679
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars for each person to take a shower and

944
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:58.639
<v Speaker 1>wash their clothes. With the relief Center there, which don't

945
00:51:58.679 --> 00:51:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you've seen that story, right?

946
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:04.880
<v Speaker 14>Oh yeah, I'm not happy at all about that. And

947
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:06.960
<v Speaker 14>then I don't know if anybody's brought it up yet

948
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:10.280
<v Speaker 14>or not, but there's only one grocery store in Flana

949
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:13.679
<v Speaker 14>NOA and that single and it's been closed, so people

950
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:17.639
<v Speaker 14>are literally having to go to charity to get fresh

951
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:18.880
<v Speaker 14>vegetables and produced.

952
00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, yeah, and this is uh and and this

953
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:24.320
<v Speaker 1>is that's kind of why we're doing this. And I

954
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:27.760
<v Speaker 1>will tell you I had not been up here since Selene.

955
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:32.039
<v Speaker 1>And when you get into downtown ashe Downtown Ashville's fine,

956
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.519
<v Speaker 1>right because it sits higher, But as soon as you

957
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:37.760
<v Speaker 1>get into like the Lower Arts District, you get down

958
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:40.400
<v Speaker 1>into into Biltmore, you see the devastation or where the

959
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:44.360
<v Speaker 1>devastation was. But they have they've really like you wouldn't

960
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:47.519
<v Speaker 1>even notice unless people pointed out they've been so quick

961
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:50.320
<v Speaker 1>in rebuilding, they've been so successful in getting it back there.

962
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:54.639
<v Speaker 1>But I drove through Backcave and Chimney Rock, and I

963
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:58.679
<v Speaker 1>tend to visually remember places I've gone, the topography where

964
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:00.679
<v Speaker 1>little stores are. Even if I've been through there a

965
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:05.639
<v Speaker 1>few times, it all looks different because of how much

966
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:08.199
<v Speaker 1>water went through and what it did to the road there,

967
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:10.599
<v Speaker 1>and how why to cut the river down through there,

968
00:53:11.239 --> 00:53:14.559
<v Speaker 1>And so I realized a lot of these communities are

969
00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:17.039
<v Speaker 1>going to look different forever because the way that they're

970
00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:19.480
<v Speaker 1>going to have to rebuild is going to be different.

971
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:21.400
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna be able to have the stilted little

972
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:25.880
<v Speaker 1>cafes hanging out over the creek anymore. So Swanna Knowah

973
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:28.519
<v Speaker 1>is probably that's probably going to be the case there

974
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:28.920
<v Speaker 1>as well.

975
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:33.719
<v Speaker 14>And that breaks my heart because I've spent so much

976
00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:35.840
<v Speaker 14>time in Swanna Know. I mean, it's only, you know,

977
00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:39.960
<v Speaker 14>thirty minutes from where I'm from. So when we went

978
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:42.920
<v Speaker 14>through there, I think it was on our lab trip.

979
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:43.840
<v Speaker 5>I cried.

980
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:47.639
<v Speaker 14>I couldn't even do any more sight thing. I couldn't

981
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:50.199
<v Speaker 14>go look at any more devastation. It was just that bad.

982
00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:51.599
<v Speaker 14>Have you been to Marshall?

983
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:53.119
<v Speaker 1>No, not yet.

984
00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:53.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do.

985
00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:55.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm up here till Sunday, and

986
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be visiting a few places just to do

987
00:53:58.440 --> 00:54:00.960
<v Speaker 1>follow up on Monday.

988
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:04.599
<v Speaker 14>So Marshall is about thirty minutes north of Asheville, and

989
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:09.280
<v Speaker 14>a friend of mine posted some videos and photos from

990
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:14.320
<v Speaker 14>up there and the town literally just reopened in May.

991
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:19.679
<v Speaker 14>There's debris and I hear that they got hit really hard.

992
00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:21.800
<v Speaker 14>And so when I come back home, it'll probably be

993
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:24.199
<v Speaker 14>next month. I'm playing at all one out there and

994
00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:25.079
<v Speaker 14>spending some money.

995
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let me actually here because I'm headed. I'm going

996
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to be broadcasting Monday through Wednesday at our Greensboro station,

997
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and so on Sunday, I was going to uh not

998
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:41.880
<v Speaker 1>take the highway highway, Yeah, so yeah I could. I'm

999
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:43.679
<v Speaker 1>head over to Marshall and then just cut back over

1000
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:46.679
<v Speaker 1>to mars Hills. Mars Hills, So that's really bad. Oh yeah,

1001
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:50.480
<v Speaker 1>it's still on Google Maps. They're showing that too, So craziness.

1002
00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:52.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, So I'll give you a little spy report

1003
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:56.760
<v Speaker 1>there is as well. All right, Cassie, you're what do

1004
00:54:56.800 --> 00:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you do? You're going down to Georgia. Why you North Carolina?

1005
00:55:03.519 --> 00:55:06.440
<v Speaker 14>My daughter's best friend lives in Georgia, and so I

1006
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:09.960
<v Speaker 14>will hopefully be there around eleven. We'll see how it goes.

1007
00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:12.320
<v Speaker 2>What you're gonna eat barbecue down there?

1008
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:15.760
<v Speaker 14>I would never do that to North Carolina.

1009
00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:19.880
<v Speaker 1>You can eat other barbecue. You just you know, you

1010
00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:23.400
<v Speaker 1>stay loyal like brisket. You know, you get good brisky,

1011

<v Speaker 1>you go ahead and eat that, so you'll be fine.

1012
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:29.159
<v Speaker 14>I enjoyed briskett. I would just never insult North Carolina

1013
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:31.639
<v Speaker 14>barbecue by calling brisket barbecue.

1014
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:34.519
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's so funny that somebody's like not

00:56:52.239 --> 00:56:54.360
<v Speaker 1>We're doing nothing but polka the rest of the show.

1038
00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Tell the advertisers, sorry, we had to do it.

1039
00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:00.719
<v Speaker 15>Hold on, hold on, then let me use the microphone

1040
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:02.159
<v Speaker 15>talking about yourself for a second.

1041
00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Oh, by the way, Rot, what was Ross's first question? Ross,

1042
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you want to remind people your question? Wasn't we found

1043
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:08.639
<v Speaker 1>out he played the accordion?

1044
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:09.280
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

1045
00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:10.480
<v Speaker 4>No, I wanted to know if it was like a

1046
00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:13.079
<v Speaker 4>like a mini accordion or like a bigger according because

1047
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:14.440
<v Speaker 4>he's a big guy, so it has to be like,

1048
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:15.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, scaled to Ray.

1049
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Right, right, But you and I really didn't know all

1050
00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:21.159
<v Speaker 1>the different accordian sizes. One of our listeners is apparently

1051
00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 1>an accordion teacher, and I got an email schooling me

1052
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:28.000
<v Speaker 1>on all the different sizes of accordion. So that is

1053
00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:30.480
<v Speaker 1>a very real possibility that he's got one of those

1054
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:32.440
<v Speaker 1>big boys. All right, So yeah, how long does it.

1055
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Take to put an accordion on?

1056
00:57:33.679 --> 00:57:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

1057
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.679
<v Speaker 8>All right, Well, I mean you got to get them.

1058
00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:38.599
<v Speaker 8>I'd listen. I haven't practiced. It's it was pretty rough

1059
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:39.159
<v Speaker 8>over there.

1060
00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:43.360
<v Speaker 15>Now oh here, Yeah, I'll give you a quick irish jig.

1061
00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:44.480
<v Speaker 8>I'll do it the best I can.

1062
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:48.320
<v Speaker 15>All right, just a quick one, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1063
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:50.079
<v Speaker 15>It's gonna be a little rough, but I'm gonna fumble

1064
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:51.159
<v Speaker 15>through it. How's our tone?

1065
00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

1066
00:57:59.599 --> 00:58:00.599
<v Speaker 8>See, can't do this?

1067
00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:02.480
<v Speaker 13>And what you guys can't tell?

1068
00:58:03.199 --> 00:58:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's good man, I can not.

1069
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:28.719
<v Speaker 13>Yes, So that was what you can't tell?

1070
00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Is uh? In the background, other Weather Channel employees are

1071
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:34.000
<v Speaker 1>jumping out of windows.

1072
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I feel like I feel like we're broadcasting from

1073
00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:40.400
<v Speaker 4>a vf W and PBS.

1074
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:42.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah they were.

1075
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:46.599
<v Speaker 15>They were saying, there's like next week to play nineties

1076
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:48.119
<v Speaker 15>country next not next Friday.

1077
00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:50.239
<v Speaker 8>I won't be here, but so nineties country.

1078
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:53.719
<v Speaker 15>I'm like, there's no accordion music for the nineties country,

1079
00:58:55.119 --> 00:58:55.960
<v Speaker 15>so I gotta.

1080
00:58:55.760 --> 00:58:56.559
<v Speaker 4>Start, gotta be.

1081
00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:57.599
<v Speaker 1>There's gotta be.

1082
00:58:58.000 --> 00:58:59.079
<v Speaker 8>I know.

1083
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:01.880
<v Speaker 4>I I think you'll, like, you know, seeing that you're

1084
00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:04.079
<v Speaker 4>a big dude and you're there your desk at the

1085
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:06.679
<v Speaker 4>Weather Channel right like a confined space. I think that

1086
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:07.599
<v Speaker 4>was pretty damn good.

1087
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:11.639
<v Speaker 8>It was I used to be able to play that

1088
00:59:11.719 --> 00:59:12.280
<v Speaker 8>a lot better.

1089
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was back from the motherland. Yes, well,

1090
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I went.

1091
00:59:18.159 --> 00:59:20.440
<v Speaker 15>Through the history too, like on this according this is

1092
00:59:20.440 --> 00:59:23.360
<v Speaker 15>the second one, not the one from the landfill, right

1093
00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:25.199
<v Speaker 15>right the date of my lesson, I think it was

1094
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:28.159
<v Speaker 15>February twentieth. We wrote it on there and inside the thing.

1095
00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:31.639
<v Speaker 15>And I was ten years old, So I was taking

1096
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:33.039
<v Speaker 15>lessons when I was ten years old.

1097
00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:36.280
<v Speaker 8>So okay, we could do better maybe another time. Oh,

1098
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:38.119
<v Speaker 8>practice practice.

1099
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:40.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, because we're gonna do this every week. This

1100
00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:43.800
<v Speaker 1>is a thing, you know, I hope anyway, and you

1101
00:59:43.800 --> 00:59:45.840
<v Speaker 1>know why, you know why. It's just punishment for what

1102
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:46.920
<v Speaker 1>you're about to do to people.

1103
00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:50.280
<v Speaker 15>So yeah, I really won't get into too much of

1104
00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:53.840
<v Speaker 15>it today. Severe weather yesterday, mainly win reports and trees down.

1105
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:56.480
<v Speaker 15>Now we're back into the hot stuff. It's gonna stick around.

1106
00:59:56.480 --> 00:59:59.599
<v Speaker 15>You're gonna open rains. It's not for the next five days,

1107
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:02.960
<v Speaker 15>maybe longer mid eighties today, upper eighties, and then we'll

1108
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:05.519
<v Speaker 15>really start turning up to heat ninety or higher tomorrow.

1109
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:07.800
<v Speaker 15>And then as we get the Sunday at the load

1110
01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:10.079
<v Speaker 15>to mid nineties heat index over the weekend close to

1111
01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:13.559
<v Speaker 15>one hundred. Then as we get into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

1112
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:17.559
<v Speaker 15>probably upper nineties, close to one hundred to try it'd

1113
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:20.320
<v Speaker 15>be more like the mid nineties, maybe ninety five ninety six.

1114
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:24.239
<v Speaker 15>But for Raleigh, Monday one hundreds to forecast high, tiny record.

1115
01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:26.760
<v Speaker 15>I don't even remember this last year. Last year the

1116
01:00:26.800 --> 01:00:29.760
<v Speaker 15>record ninety nine is the Tuesday high. Hottest day would

1117
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:31.440
<v Speaker 15>probably be Tuesday, we could be in the low one

1118
01:00:31.519 --> 01:00:34.559
<v Speaker 15>hundreds and maybe another record Wednesdays we're near one hundred.

1119
01:00:35.280 --> 01:00:37.360
<v Speaker 15>I don't know about this summer nineteen fourteen at the

1120
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:39.960
<v Speaker 15>try it at Greensboro at the airport, but every record

1121
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:43.360
<v Speaker 15>Monday through Thursday was set in nineteen fourteen and is

1122
01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:45.920
<v Speaker 15>above one hundred at to try it. So I don't

1123
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:47.639
<v Speaker 15>think records there, but I think Raleigh some of those

1124
01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:50.239
<v Speaker 15>triple digit numbers are easily attainable.

1125
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:55.119
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to be in Greensboro till Wednesdays.

1126
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:56.599
<v Speaker 8>So I'll have fun with that. Well, it'll be a

1127
01:00:56.639 --> 01:00:57.480
<v Speaker 8>little cooler.

1128
01:00:57.280 --> 01:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>It won't be out. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

1129
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.159
<v Speaker 8>About one hundred and two ninety six.

1130
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:06.119
<v Speaker 1>Yes, perfect, all right, thank you, accordion master. Oh we'll

1131
01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>talk in an hour and we will be right back ken.

1132
01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>His name is James Oldmeyer. I had a pretty interesting proposal,

1133
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'll yeah, you know what. They made a video.

1134
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll let him tell you about it.

1135
01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:24.559
<v Speaker 16>Attorney General James Ufmeyer here at the Miami Dade Collier

1136
01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:29.559
<v Speaker 16>Training Facility. This is an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right.

1137
01:01:29.440 --> 01:01:30.639
<v Speaker 2>In the middle of the Everglade.

1138
01:01:31.039 --> 01:01:34.800
<v Speaker 16>Florida has been leading on immigration enforcements, supporting the Trump

1139
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:37.159
<v Speaker 16>administration and ICE's efforts.

1140
01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:38.960
<v Speaker 8>To detain and deport criminal aliens.

1141
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:42.480
<v Speaker 16>The governor task state leaders to identify places for new

1142
01:01:42.519 --> 01:01:46.119
<v Speaker 16>temporary detention facilities. I think this is the best one,

1143
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:51.679
<v Speaker 16>as I call it Alligator Alcatraz. This thirty square mile

1144
01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:54.280
<v Speaker 16>area is completely surrounded.

1145
01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:54.519
<v Speaker 8>By the Everway.

1146
01:01:55.199 --> 01:01:59.239
<v Speaker 16>Presents an efficient, low cost opportunity to build a temporary

1147
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:02.239
<v Speaker 16>detention facilit because you don't need to invest that much

1148
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:02.880
<v Speaker 16>in the perimeter.

1149
01:02:03.159 --> 01:02:04.639
<v Speaker 4>People get out, there's not much.

1150
01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:07.960
<v Speaker 16>Waiting for them other than alligators and pythons. Nowhere to go,

1151
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:12.039
<v Speaker 16>nowhere to hide. Within just thirty to sixty days after

1152
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:14.800
<v Speaker 16>we begin construction, it could be up and running and

1153
01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:18.159
<v Speaker 16>could house as many as a thousand criminal aliens. This

1154
01:02:18.239 --> 01:02:20.719
<v Speaker 16>presents a great opportunity for the state of Florida to

1155
01:02:20.719 --> 01:02:24.800
<v Speaker 16>work with Miami Dade and Collier Counties Alligator Alcatraz.

1156
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:25.599
<v Speaker 8>We're ready to go.

1157
01:02:26.280 --> 01:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Now. You hear Miami Dade and you think, well, it

1158
01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>must be the county goes way out, And in fact,

1159
01:02:33.360 --> 01:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of interesting because when you fly over the area.

1160
01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>So if you're flying into Miami and you're on the

1161
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>but you're flying in from the west from Texas or

1162
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:45.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe you went down to Mexico or whatever, and you're

1163
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>flying back, if that's your connection, you fly right over this.

1164
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:53.239
<v Speaker 1>It's on the flight path from from the south there

1165
01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and it is literally in the middle of nowhere.

1166
01:02:56.960 --> 01:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>And in fact, it's really weird.

1167
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny because I looked it up one time

1168
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>as they flew over it, and I'm like, why is

1169
01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>there an air strip out?

1170
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Because there's nothing there.

1171
01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>It's essentially stripped down, banned one. I just assumed it

1172
01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:14.199
<v Speaker 1>was a World War II thing, and then I found

1173
01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>out it's haunted too, So like cause there was a plane.

1174
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:20.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's the value jet plane crash

1175
01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>or what it was. Some plane crash happened, and now

1176
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>apparently among some of the aviation industry, the pilot from

1177
01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:30.679
<v Speaker 1>that plane sometimes appears on planes flying over sitting in

1178
01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the seats. Take that for what it's worth.

1179
01:03:33.280 --> 01:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>That but I did watch like a ghost Hunter's thing

1180
01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>on it just because I thought it was interesting. So, yeah,

1181
01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what they're talking about. And it is literally in

1182
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the middle of nowhere. But then people are losing their minds.

1183
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>They're like, oh, that's cruel and unusual. They're gonna keep

1184
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:47.679
<v Speaker 1>them there with alligators.

1185
01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:48.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

1186
01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>If you know how prisons work, You're not supposed to

1187
01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>get out. That's the point. You're not supposed to get out.

1188
01:03:57.800 --> 01:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>They're not go If they had the alligators in the

1189
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:04.599
<v Speaker 1>is in with them, then I would be on your team, going,

1190
01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>this ain't right. But the alligators are outside. The prison

1191
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>is Friday, and it is also the final day and

1192
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:17.719
<v Speaker 1>final hour of my week of not melting because I

1193
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>was smart enough to drive to the mountains where this

1194
01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:23.679
<v Speaker 1>man used to do radio and reside. His name is

1195
01:04:23.679 --> 01:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Pete Callner. Now he's Midday's WBT.

1196
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:26.480
<v Speaker 13>Pete.

1197
01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:27.719
<v Speaker 1>How you doing this morning, sir?

1198
01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:30.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing all right. How are you doing up there

1199
01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:33.920
<v Speaker 5>in the spacious conference room?

1200
01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:37.679
<v Speaker 1>I am I'm in conference room A here because it

1201
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>made the most sense. Yes, I don't know the.

1202
01:04:41.039 --> 01:04:43.880
<v Speaker 5>Front lobby area or is that the big square room

1203
01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:44.280
<v Speaker 5>in the.

1204
01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Center that is the big one in the center with

1205
01:04:47.239 --> 01:04:52.719
<v Speaker 1>your former studio to my back right there? So yeah, yeah, yeah,

1206
01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I was. You know, there's some of your stuff still

1207
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:56.280
<v Speaker 1>here that I could steal, but there is not.

1208
01:04:56.480 --> 01:04:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I have ad it. Man, Have you found my

1209
01:04:58.519 --> 01:04:59.119
<v Speaker 5>chucky doll?

1210
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:00.639
<v Speaker 15>I have not.

1211
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>What a great story that is?

1212
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:03.559
<v Speaker 5>Huh?

1213
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Are do you believe that? I mean, I understand people

1214
01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>get weirded out, But if you if every time you

1215
01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:11.239
<v Speaker 1>saw a doll you got anxiety, I don't know how

1216
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>you operate out in public.

1217
01:05:13.960 --> 01:05:18.599
<v Speaker 5>Well, but you also get eight weeks of medical leave and.

1218
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:22.599
<v Speaker 1>You get to leave it three from going forward. Yeah

1219
01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:23.239
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty good.

1220
01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:27.039
<v Speaker 5>Right. So it's almost as if there's an incentive to

1221
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:33.079
<v Speaker 5>have the anxiety, and the anxiety is not provable by

1222
01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:36.480
<v Speaker 5>any you know, external objective standard.

1223
01:05:37.159 --> 01:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>This woman would have died when I was in school

1224
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:43.559
<v Speaker 1>because every girl in school had one of those little

1225
01:05:43.599 --> 01:05:45.199
<v Speaker 1>troll dolls on the end of their pencil.

1226
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:46.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1227
01:05:46.280 --> 01:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just wouldn't make it there. And God forbid,

1228
01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>she was having to testify in a sexual assault case

1229
01:05:52.360 --> 01:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and they you know, they brought the word, they touched

1230
01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>it all out right, right, all of these, all of

1231
01:05:57.480 --> 01:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>these things, house.

1232
01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:01.519
<v Speaker 5>One develops that kind of reaction.

1233
01:06:03.079 --> 01:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's I'll it's not to say that people that

1234
01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:09.639
<v Speaker 1>there are things, you know, traumatic things that can happen

1235
01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:13.679
<v Speaker 1>to somebody where there's a triggering mechanism. Again, it's just

1236
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a real that that's a really broad one right there. Yeah,

1237
01:06:18.519 --> 01:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Like you know what I'm saying, If any doll and

1238
01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>then these are the reasonable accommodations are basically you with

1239
01:06:24.039 --> 01:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the best schedule I've ever heard of bankers, and bankers

1240
01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>usually have pretty good schedules.

1241
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:30.960
<v Speaker 5>I've heard that about bankers hours yes.

1242
01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So anyway, and.

1243
01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:37.079
<v Speaker 5>I also have to say that the coworker, whoever it

1244
01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:40.360
<v Speaker 5>was that was that was tormenting his colleague, you know,

1245
01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:44.440
<v Speaker 5>playing these jokes or whatever, complete jerk, Like you don't yeah,

1246
01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:47.639
<v Speaker 5>don't do that. You just don't be a jerk, you know,

1247
01:06:47.840 --> 01:06:52.480
<v Speaker 5>don't antagonize people like that. That's just it's completely unnecessary.

1248
01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:56.480
<v Speaker 5>And whatever the woman's got going on, like why would

1249
01:06:56.519 --> 01:06:59.639
<v Speaker 5>you even why would you even stir that pot. It's

1250
01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:02.840
<v Speaker 5>just it's just lack of consideration. It's just mean.

1251
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1252
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but that's if that's how it transpired, right, right,

1253
01:07:07.880 --> 01:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. If maybe it's maybe there's

1254
01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a running joke around the office where you you know,

1255
01:07:14.440 --> 01:07:17.239
<v Speaker 1>people kind of put the doll there, and it's just

1256
01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and she just had it just happened to be the

1257
01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:21.719
<v Speaker 1>triggering event or whatever. But she claims she said something

1258
01:07:21.760 --> 01:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to retreat, So I don't know it is what it is.

1259
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:25.239
<v Speaker 6>Man.

1260
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:28.199
<v Speaker 1>So I'm up here up here in your old stomping

1261
01:07:28.199 --> 01:07:31.559
<v Speaker 1>grounds up here, and I had not been up here

1262
01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>since Helene. Have you You've been up post to Lene, right.

1263
01:07:35.519 --> 01:07:39.280
<v Speaker 5>Yes, but not I've not done any Like I haven't

1264
01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:42.440
<v Speaker 5>been to any of the worst struck areas because like

1265
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:46.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't I would not know what what I would

1266
01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:48.039
<v Speaker 5>be doing up there, like just walking around like a

1267
01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:51.199
<v Speaker 5>president after a disaster, you know, like throwing out paper

1268
01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:53.199
<v Speaker 5>towels to people like I'm.

1269
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:56.239
<v Speaker 2>You got to know how far can you throw the bounty?

1270
01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Do you know?

1271
01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:00.599
<v Speaker 5>Or yeah? No, I uh yeah, no, I I don't

1272
01:08:00.599 --> 01:08:03.280
<v Speaker 5>have a lot of skills in that department. So I

1273
01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:06.679
<v Speaker 5>think you're my best My best use is to keep

1274
01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:10.360
<v Speaker 5>highlighting the need and tell people the stories and let

1275
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:12.960
<v Speaker 5>the let the rebuilders do the rebuilding.

1276
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's here's what I'll say, just to sum it up,

1277
01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:20.239
<v Speaker 1>because for you there are there's areas like downtown Ashville

1278
01:08:20.479 --> 01:08:22.439
<v Speaker 1>is just it looks like downtown Ashville.

1279
01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, nothing's really changed. That wasn't a problem.

1280
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:29.079
<v Speaker 1>The rad District or whatever you guys called it, the

1281
01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:36.279
<v Speaker 1>ardor Arts District thirty one feet of water. Yeah well yeah, no,

1282
01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:38.560
<v Speaker 1>no it is on the river. But still the river

1283
01:08:38.680 --> 01:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>went up thirty one feet.

1284
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:44.039
<v Speaker 2>And you're our our.

1285
01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:47.359
<v Speaker 1>My counterpart up here, you're former co worker Mark Starling.

1286
01:08:48.039 --> 01:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Him and I went for a drive and he was

1287
01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:52.119
<v Speaker 1>showing me just all these different things. But I went

1288
01:08:52.119 --> 01:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>through Chimney and back Cave on the way up, went

1289
01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>over Swanon Noah and Black Mountain, checked all that stuff out,

1290
01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:01.479
<v Speaker 1>and drove over to Waynesville too. For some and other

1291
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:04.439
<v Speaker 1>places are not. They're never going to look the same

1292
01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>because the topography is different now right. The rivers, wider

1293
01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:12.279
<v Speaker 1>parts of mountains have literally they slid right off, so

1294
01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:15.159
<v Speaker 1>like sight lines are different, and that's going to be

1295
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the reality. But the amount of work that people have

1296
01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:20.520
<v Speaker 1>put in and continue to put it, the Amish are

1297
01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:25.079
<v Speaker 1>still here. The Amish are still here just building away

1298
01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>man is really really, really impressive, and that is that's

1299
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the thing that really struck me on the emotional side,

1300
01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>how hard everyone had to work and what a good

1301
01:09:34.840 --> 01:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>job they are doing in spite of you know, everything

1302
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>with government that you and I have talked about.

1303
01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:43.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're you're not only dealing with

1304
01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:48.439
<v Speaker 5>you know, man versus nature, You're dealing with man versus government,

1305
01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:52.960
<v Speaker 5>you know. Yeah, which I'm not sure which is sometimes

1306
01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:55.840
<v Speaker 5>which is the more powerful foe. But yeah, I mean

1307
01:09:55.880 --> 01:09:59.720
<v Speaker 5>I remember, very early on after the storm hit, one

1308
01:09:59.720 --> 01:10:03.640
<v Speaker 5>of the first sort of issues that rose up in

1309
01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:09.920
<v Speaker 5>that regard were the bridges, so many of the stream crossings.

1310
01:10:10.439 --> 01:10:12.279
<v Speaker 5>And you know, for people outside of the mountains, they

1311
01:10:12.279 --> 01:10:14.600
<v Speaker 5>don't really understand this because you know, you drive down

1312
01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:16.279
<v Speaker 5>the road and you know it doesn't have curb and gutter.

1313
01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:18.359
<v Speaker 5>If you're outside of an urban environment, it doesn't have

1314
01:10:18.399 --> 01:10:20.960
<v Speaker 5>the curb and gutter along the side of the roads.

1315
01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:23.439
<v Speaker 5>It'll just you know, run off into a culvert, right.

1316
01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:27.199
<v Speaker 5>But those those culverts, you know, yes, they you know,

1317
01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:29.880
<v Speaker 5>driveways will cross them and that sort of thing. But

1318
01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:34.319
<v Speaker 5>up in the mountains, those culverts get very deep and

1319
01:10:35.199 --> 01:10:40.279
<v Speaker 5>those roads, those driveways will be the only connection point

1320
01:10:40.359 --> 01:10:42.880
<v Speaker 5>to not just one home, but several homes that had

1321
01:10:42.920 --> 01:10:44.840
<v Speaker 5>to be built because you're limited in the way you

1322
01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:48.239
<v Speaker 5>can build in the mountains by the topography. You'll have

1323
01:10:48.359 --> 01:10:51.199
<v Speaker 5>one driveway that goes up and it will service you know,

1324
01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:54.439
<v Speaker 5>half a dozen homes, and that driveway will be you know,

1325
01:10:54.479 --> 01:10:59.279
<v Speaker 5>a forty five degree angle or greater, and it'll twist

1326
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:01.800
<v Speaker 5>its way up half a mile to a mile. And

1327
01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:04.439
<v Speaker 5>when that when the and so those bridges were all

1328
01:11:04.479 --> 01:11:07.319
<v Speaker 5>private bridges, and when those got wiped out, okay, well

1329
01:11:07.319 --> 01:11:10.359
<v Speaker 5>who replaces the bridge? And how do you get up

1330
01:11:10.399 --> 01:11:12.439
<v Speaker 5>there to replace the bridge? That was sort of the

1331
01:11:12.479 --> 01:11:16.560
<v Speaker 5>first example that I remember seeing of like how difficult

1332
01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:18.720
<v Speaker 5>this is going to be for a very long time.

1333
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it's uh. And there's the there are some

1334
01:11:22.039 --> 01:11:25.399
<v Speaker 1>spots where you can tell they were jerry rigged, I

1335
01:11:25.439 --> 01:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>guess would be the best way to say it. And

1336
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:30.159
<v Speaker 1>that's just that's just people going, I got to be

1337
01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:32.239
<v Speaker 1>able to access my house, let's go ahead and do this.

1338
01:11:32.319 --> 01:11:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I saw I saw a trick that I used and

1339
01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>we used in Wyoming News at a cross creeks and

1340
01:11:37.880 --> 01:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>that is the bottom of a railroad car. You can

1341
01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:44.119
<v Speaker 1>use as a bridge. Yeah, and I saw I saw

1342
01:11:44.119 --> 01:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of those, and I laughed a little because

1343
01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:48.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, we had a couple of those on our property.

1344
01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:52.039
<v Speaker 1>It's a great way to very cheaply get a bridge.

1345
01:11:52.399 --> 01:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>But this was done out of necessity, right, they would

1346
01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>probably prefer their covided crossing. But this, this is where

1347
01:11:57.720 --> 01:11:58.319
<v Speaker 1>we are now.

1348
01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:01.880
<v Speaker 5>Did you get chance to go through Billmore Village?

1349
01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1350
01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was down there. The was down

1351
01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:06.079
<v Speaker 1>there the other day.

1352
01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:08.199
<v Speaker 5>So I used to live in I used to live

1353
01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:10.840
<v Speaker 5>there in uh in Bilmore Village for a couple of

1354
01:12:10.880 --> 01:12:14.960
<v Speaker 5>years before we moved away. But I was just kind

1355
01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:16.880
<v Speaker 5>of curious because the last I saw that it was

1356
01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:17.880
<v Speaker 5>it was pretty.

1357
01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:19.479
<v Speaker 1>I picked you up. I picked you up at your house.

1358
01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:24.399
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't in Bilmore, was it? Do you remember that?

1359
01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Did I pick you up at your I? Did I

1360
01:12:26.119 --> 01:12:27.079
<v Speaker 1>picked you up at your house?

1361
01:12:29.159 --> 01:12:29.319
<v Speaker 5>Then?

1362
01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1363
01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:32.640
<v Speaker 5>No, that I think that was it. I lived in

1364
01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:35.520
<v Speaker 5>three different places when I was in there. Uh well,

1365
01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:38.279
<v Speaker 5>then we bought the house after Billmore Village.

1366
01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Ah, then I got okay, okay, I was trying to.

1367
01:12:40.840 --> 01:12:44.399
<v Speaker 5>Remember which one. I would say it may have been

1368
01:12:44.479 --> 01:12:46.119
<v Speaker 5>there if you picked me up around Billmore Village. It

1369
01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:47.720
<v Speaker 5>might have been that place, and then we went out

1370
01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:50.079
<v Speaker 5>to where a Grove Park area.

1371
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so uh it was Asheville is

1372
01:12:56.399 --> 01:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a quirky little community. I don't necessarily mean that in

1373
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>a negative way. There's some of the listeners like, why

1374
01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>why are you broadcast in Nashville. I'm like, well, that's

1375
01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:06.760
<v Speaker 1>where our studios are up here. So it's an easy decision.

1376
01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>But it's been really refreshing because, look, I know that

1377
01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:15.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm interviewing and talking to people that are probably ideologically

1378
01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>not on board with me necessarily, and nobody's talking politics.

1379
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's the government grumbling right like, hey, we're

1380
01:13:23.560 --> 01:13:27.039
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be faster any of that, And I don't know, man,

1381
01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you just kind of need that because Twitter is such

1382
01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:30.119
<v Speaker 1>a cesspool right now.

1383
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:36.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, this is one area of civic life that where

1384
01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:41.880
<v Speaker 5>that can occur, right, recovery response to disasters. Sports has

1385
01:13:41.960 --> 01:13:46.439
<v Speaker 5>played that role for a really long time. Well we'll

1386
01:13:46.439 --> 01:13:49.319
<v Speaker 5>get so right, and you know, it was a place

1387
01:13:49.359 --> 01:13:52.199
<v Speaker 5>where it didn't matter people's politics or religion. You were

1388
01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:55.479
<v Speaker 5>all pulling for a team. Look, there is something instinctive

1389
01:13:55.680 --> 01:13:59.800
<v Speaker 5>in our nature that we have a desire to belong

1390
01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:03.520
<v Speaker 5>to to some form of pack, right, a community of

1391
01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:07.520
<v Speaker 5>some sort, and that's you know, and honestly like it

1392
01:14:07.560 --> 01:14:11.000
<v Speaker 5>went to well with regard to politics, but really philosophy

1393
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:14.199
<v Speaker 5>is when you when you start then trying to splinter

1394
01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:19.159
<v Speaker 5>people away from those connections, people get lost. And I think,

1395
01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:21.960
<v Speaker 5>like for example, the No King's protests, I think that's

1396
01:14:22.039 --> 01:14:25.199
<v Speaker 5>what that was. I think you have a large population

1397
01:14:25.319 --> 01:14:28.920
<v Speaker 5>that is that is yearning for some community. And I

1398
01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:31.560
<v Speaker 5>don't want to say, you know, everybody that was at

1399
01:14:31.600 --> 01:14:36.199
<v Speaker 5>the No King's protests last weekend, we're not of a

1400
01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:38.560
<v Speaker 5>religious bent, you know, I don't want to say all

1401
01:14:38.600 --> 01:14:41.319
<v Speaker 5>of them, but I think, you know, generally speaking, looking

1402
01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:44.119
<v Speaker 5>at the survey data and the demographics, people on the

1403
01:14:44.199 --> 01:14:47.920
<v Speaker 5>left are less religious, and I think they find or

1404
01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:54.199
<v Speaker 5>they seek and find that connection in political movements or

1405
01:14:54.279 --> 01:14:57.680
<v Speaker 5>activism and such. And I think that's why that kind

1406
01:14:57.720 --> 01:15:00.319
<v Speaker 5>of event is so attractive to people generally on the

1407
01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:02.079
<v Speaker 5>left and not so much on the right. But the

1408
01:15:02.359 --> 01:15:04.880
<v Speaker 5>you know, Alexis Totopel wrote about this very thing, this

1409
01:15:05.279 --> 01:15:09.840
<v Speaker 5>the American people, uh, you know, banding together for civic

1410
01:15:09.960 --> 01:15:14.279
<v Speaker 5>organizations to address you know, a local ill or problem,

1411
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.119
<v Speaker 5>and it didn't matter. The politics of people don't matter.

1412
01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:21.039
<v Speaker 5>It's just like we identify this one problem. Let's all

1413
01:15:21.119 --> 01:15:23.680
<v Speaker 5>band together and fix this one problem together. And that

1414
01:15:23.880 --> 01:15:27.039
<v Speaker 5>is what forms the bonds of a society.

1415
01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and and and and you you kind of went

1416
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>where I was going a little. It's like it shows you.

1417
01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:37.800
<v Speaker 1>It shows you how hard the political parties and the

1418
01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>politicians have to work to accomplish what you're talking about, right,

1419
01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:45.239
<v Speaker 1>because they need to splinter people. You can't win in

1420
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>politics with out splintering people.

1421
01:15:48.319 --> 01:15:52.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, or you end up you know, audience capture essentially,

1422
01:15:52.680 --> 01:15:56.279
<v Speaker 5>where you you know, you only need a certain splinter,

1423
01:15:56.800 --> 01:15:59.000
<v Speaker 5>and so you just give them what they want in

1424
01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:02.000
<v Speaker 5>order to keep them turning out to the polls, right,

1425
01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:04.760
<v Speaker 5>and so you just keep beating them the red meat,

1426
01:16:04.920 --> 01:16:07.520
<v Speaker 5>and so they get they stay angry because it's a

1427
01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:11.319
<v Speaker 5>great motivation. Anger and fear motivate people. I mean, anybody

1428
01:16:11.319 --> 01:16:14.960
<v Speaker 5>who does marketing knows that as well. And so you know,

1429
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:19.079
<v Speaker 5>there's this these incentives to do something different. I wish

1430
01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:24.319
<v Speaker 5>that we would incentivize the sense of belonging to America,

1431
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:29.600
<v Speaker 5>Like like, if we're looking for a unifying sort of

1432
01:16:29.640 --> 01:16:33.479
<v Speaker 5>community banner, we have one, right, and they are the

1433
01:16:33.560 --> 01:16:34.319
<v Speaker 5>ideals and.

1434
01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>The idea flagan the Mexican flag right.

1435
01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:42.159
<v Speaker 5>Right well in certain protests and jurisdictions, But yet we

1436
01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:44.239
<v Speaker 5>have a banner. It's the American flag. We have a

1437
01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:48.119
<v Speaker 5>uniting philosophy. It's the you know, the Constitution, it's the

1438
01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:51.199
<v Speaker 5>Declaration of Independence. We have this shared history, like that's

1439
01:16:51.239 --> 01:16:54.760
<v Speaker 5>the thing that we should all uh sort of kind

1440
01:16:54.800 --> 01:16:57.279
<v Speaker 5>of look to as we are all one. And I

1441
01:16:57.319 --> 01:17:01.159
<v Speaker 5>think if people thought in those terms, maybe things could

1442
01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:02.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, get a little bit bitter.

1443
01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would agree. I will tell you one funny

1444
01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>thing on this, and then there's two things I want

1445
01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:09.479
<v Speaker 1>to hit real quick. So I went to Black Mountain

1446
01:17:09.520 --> 01:17:11.000
<v Speaker 1>right because I'm going and I'm checking out all the

1447
01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>different communities. Went over there, had lunch at a place

1448
01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:15.640
<v Speaker 1>called Foothills Grange. I don't know if you ever ate

1449
01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>there when you were up here, but but when you're

1450
01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in downtown Black Mountain right on Main Street, it's only

1451
01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:25.279
<v Speaker 1>like a half mile to the freeway right to so

1452
01:17:25.279 --> 01:17:28.199
<v Speaker 1>so I drove via tunnel Road to get there because

1453
01:17:28.239 --> 01:17:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to go check out the area going into

1454
01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Black Mountain. But I go to leave and I go

1455
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:35.039
<v Speaker 1>over the railroad tracks. And now I've got line of

1456
01:17:35.039 --> 01:17:37.399
<v Speaker 1>sight to where the freeway is, and I see like

1457
01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty people holding signs and I'm like, oh, please, don't

1458
01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:46.199
<v Speaker 1>let that be a protest. And since they're right by

1459
01:17:46.199 --> 01:17:48.439
<v Speaker 1>the on ramp, I'm like, and they sure as hell

1460
01:17:48.600 --> 01:17:51.479
<v Speaker 1>better not be in the road, cause that's like my

1461
01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want you know how much RAL or CNC

1462
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:56.199
<v Speaker 1>or one of the you know, one of these moonbat

1463
01:17:56.279 --> 01:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>TV outlets would love to be like a radio host

1464
01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:01.279
<v Speaker 1>runs over protests, right, I don't want any.

1465
01:18:01.680 --> 01:18:04.039
<v Speaker 5>Right wing radio hosts.

1466
01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. He always talked about running over protesters.

1467
01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:08.680
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to do it.

1468
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>And then the most wholesome thing happened because as I

1469
01:18:12.760 --> 01:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>got nearer, I realized it's the cheerleaders from the local

1470
01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>high school doing a car wash to raise money. Oh yes, yes,

1471
01:18:21.199 --> 01:18:22.760
<v Speaker 1>But then I felt a lot. I feel like, that's

1472
01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a little pervy, so I didn't go in there.

1473
01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:29.119
<v Speaker 5>But oh, okay, that's why I yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

1474
01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:31.239
<v Speaker 5>but I was just so happy that's what it was.

1475
01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:34.159
<v Speaker 1>I was so happy. It just wasn't some random protest

1476
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:39.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to crap on my Wednesday or whatever. So yeah,

1477
01:18:39.640 --> 01:18:44.000
<v Speaker 1>speaking of infighting, real quick. So everyone's talking about the

1478
01:18:44.039 --> 01:18:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Tucker cruise thing. We talked about it yesterday, but I

1479
01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you about it today. What are your thoughts?

1480
01:18:49.880 --> 01:18:53.199
<v Speaker 1>And Trump's talking about they can never have a bomb,

1481
01:18:53.279 --> 01:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>We'll do what we have to do. Is that just

1482
01:18:54.880 --> 01:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>him keeping the eye toll in check or is that

1483
01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>him possibly saying we're gonna sling cruise me like Obama

1484
01:19:01.439 --> 01:19:02.159
<v Speaker 1>and Hillary did.

1485
01:19:03.680 --> 01:19:04.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1486
01:19:05.239 --> 01:19:08.680
<v Speaker 5>With Donald Trump, I have learned let's just let's wait

1487
01:19:08.760 --> 01:19:13.560
<v Speaker 5>and see, because this is his chaos strategy of negotiations. Right.

1488
01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:16.079
<v Speaker 5>We have no idea what's in his head. He's given

1489
01:19:16.119 --> 01:19:18.720
<v Speaker 5>them two weeks. Everybody's got two weeks. Israel, keep doing

1490
01:19:18.800 --> 01:19:20.880
<v Speaker 5>what you're doing, You've got two weeks. Mullah's if you

1491
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:22.720
<v Speaker 5>want to get to the table, which now apparently they

1492
01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:25.840
<v Speaker 5>say they don't, you got two weeks. You want to

1493
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:28.760
<v Speaker 5>surrender the nuclear program, you got two weeks. And also

1494
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:31.479
<v Speaker 5>Iranian people, if you want to rise up, you got

1495
01:19:31.479 --> 01:19:34.720
<v Speaker 5>two weeks. In Iranian generals that keep getting whacked. If

1496
01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:36.439
<v Speaker 5>you guys are tired of getting whacked, you want to

1497
01:19:36.479 --> 01:19:40.680
<v Speaker 5>overthrow your ayah toola's or you know, install somebody else,

1498
01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:43.319
<v Speaker 5>you got two weeks. So we'll see what happens in

1499
01:19:43.359 --> 01:19:46.119
<v Speaker 5>two weeks. So I don't know. I don't know anybody

1500
01:19:46.119 --> 01:19:47.880
<v Speaker 5>that's saying, yes, we need to go to war with

1501
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:50.680
<v Speaker 5>ground troops in Iran. I don't know anybody that's saying that.

1502
01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:55.439
<v Speaker 5>For me, the fundamental question is is it in America's

1503
01:19:55.439 --> 01:20:00.720
<v Speaker 5>interest to allow Israel to dismantle that nuclear and I

1504
01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:03.760
<v Speaker 5>believe it is yea. Now, now what we do about that?

1505
01:20:03.800 --> 01:20:04.199
<v Speaker 5>Those are there?

1506
01:20:04.319 --> 01:20:06.039
<v Speaker 1>I got thirty seconds, Pete, thirty.

1507
01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:09.039
<v Speaker 5>Seconds those diferent questions. Now on the Tucker Ted thing,

1508
01:20:09.399 --> 01:20:11.640
<v Speaker 5>I thought both of them came off not looking good.

1509
01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:15.520
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, I mean, it's just I don't know what's

1510
01:20:15.520 --> 01:20:17.079
<v Speaker 5>the deal with Tucker Callson anymore.

1511
01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, well we'll leave it there. I gotta go.

1512
01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much, sir, and we will chat next week.

1513
01:20:23.920 --> 01:20:26.279
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Yes, sir, I appreciate it. Thanks for doing this

1514
01:20:26.359 --> 01:20:29.199
<v Speaker 5>up and to and for raising awareness for the regional.

1515
01:20:29.199 --> 01:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely he thirty five here on the CaCO Day radio program.

1516
01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you do, Pete Calender for chatting with us

1517
01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:42.239
<v Speaker 1>there in the last segment. All right, so I don't

1518
01:20:42.319 --> 01:20:46.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe you saw this story, but you saw it spun

1519
01:20:47.079 --> 01:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>through the lens of like a CNN or whatnot. So

1520
01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:52.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to tell you what's actually going on, because

1521
01:20:52.359 --> 01:20:54.520
<v Speaker 1>these are the head These are the headlines.

1522
01:20:54.800 --> 01:20:57.520
<v Speaker 2>You're hearing, right, some along the lines.

1523
01:20:57.239 --> 01:21:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Of Trump Trump cancels LGBTQ suicide prevention hotline, right, And

1524
01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>then the impression is given that there, you know, there's

1525
01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:13.239
<v Speaker 1>no resources for somebody who might be dealing with, you know,

1526
01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>thoughts of suicide. And and he's doing it so that

1527
01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>more LGBTQ plus youth kill themselves, right, because he's just

1528
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:27.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just forty chess. Sometimes they say he's really dumb,

1529
01:21:27.920 --> 01:21:29.720
<v Speaker 1>but in this case they're saying he's really smart and

1530
01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:32.880
<v Speaker 1>he's doing this just to be evil. NBC News is headline,

1531
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration will shut down the National LGBTQ Youth

1532
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Suicide Lifeline, the nine eight eight Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

1533
01:21:41.159 --> 01:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>in thirty days. Rolling Stone, Trump administration cuts LGBTQ care

1534
01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:56.840
<v Speaker 1>from suicide hotline. All right, there's still a suicide hotline, right.

1535
01:21:57.079 --> 01:22:01.039
<v Speaker 1>There is a national suicide hotline. It's not for gay

1536
01:22:01.119 --> 01:22:07.560
<v Speaker 1>people or for straight people exclusively or whatever. It's the

1537
01:22:07.640 --> 01:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>suicide hotline. And they have people within the suicide hotline

1538
01:22:13.720 --> 01:22:17.079
<v Speaker 1>that are trained to deal with people who are thinking

1539
01:22:17.119 --> 01:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of committing suicide, and there are people within the actual

1540
01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:24.279
<v Speaker 1>National Suicide Hotline that.

1541
01:22:25.920 --> 01:22:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Are trained in specific areas.

1542
01:22:28.520 --> 01:22:32.039
<v Speaker 1>So if your sexuality is, you know, maybe a component

1543
01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>of this, they have people within there that that is

1544
01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:39.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of their core focus. But the problem is you

1545
01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>either got to dig all the way to the bottom

1546
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of the article in the case of the NBC News

1547
01:22:43.720 --> 01:22:48.640
<v Speaker 1>one it's literally the last paragraph, or in Rolling Stone,

1548
01:22:48.319 --> 01:22:52.119
<v Speaker 1>they really just kind of leave that little fact toyed out.

1549
01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:55.640
<v Speaker 1>So here's at the end of the NBC story. What

1550
01:22:55.800 --> 01:23:00.600
<v Speaker 1>is actually going on, sam, I don't know how you

1551
01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:03.319
<v Speaker 1>say is a SAMSA anyway, The Substance Abuse in Mental

1552
01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Health Services Administration, which is a government agency, points out

1553
01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:12.079
<v Speaker 1>that affected use can still receive help by just calling

1554
01:23:12.159 --> 01:23:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the National Suicide Hotline number. And by the way, everyone

1555
01:23:16.640 --> 01:23:19.680
<v Speaker 1>who and you, it will even port through on the

1556
01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:25.600
<v Speaker 1>numbers from this secondary repeating effort suicide hotline, So even

1557
01:23:25.640 --> 01:23:28.600
<v Speaker 1>if you have that number committed to memory, it will

1558
01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>go to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, which is still

1559
01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:39.640
<v Speaker 1>being funded. Is still a thing. There's just not going

1560
01:23:39.680 --> 01:23:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a separate They're not going to fund a

1561
01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:44.880
<v Speaker 1>separate one that is run by an it's an outside

1562
01:23:44.960 --> 01:23:49.199
<v Speaker 1>organization called the Trevor Project, which is you know, it's

1563
01:23:49.239 --> 01:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a pretty big organization. They do a lot of stuff,

1564
01:23:51.560 --> 01:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and I know they get a lot of donations, but

1565
01:23:53.720 --> 01:23:56.279
<v Speaker 1>they also get a lot of government funding too.

1566
01:23:57.439 --> 01:23:59.800
<v Speaker 2>So this is along the.

1567
01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Line of doge cuts or or or finding duplicitous things.

1568
01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're doing here and then and so that's

1569
01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:11.960
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. So if you see the story and

1570
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:14.279
<v Speaker 1>you don't see the full story because you either didn't

1571
01:24:14.319 --> 01:24:17.279
<v Speaker 1>read to the very last two paragraphs of NBC news

1572
01:24:17.399 --> 01:24:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Is or you read that rolling Stone garbage. They're not

1573
01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:24.520
<v Speaker 1>canceling the suicide hotline. And if you're and and and

1574
01:24:24.560 --> 01:24:26.319
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I'm let me say this, if you're

1575
01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:34.439
<v Speaker 1>contemplating suicide, call them or somebody, call somebody from a

1576
01:24:34.479 --> 01:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>mental health capacity, and and and talk to them. Suicide

1577
01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:42.199
<v Speaker 1>is horrible, horror or and and and if you ever

1578
01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:44.079
<v Speaker 1>had a family member, I've had a family member of

1579
01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:51.079
<v Speaker 1>tempt suicide, and and and and and thankful, thankfully they

1580
01:24:51.079 --> 01:24:55.640
<v Speaker 1>were unsuccessful and and now they're thriving. This was wait,

1581
01:24:55.640 --> 01:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>two decades ago. He's doing great. He's doing great. And

1582
01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I've We've had a conversation with him, probably about five

1583
01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:04.239
<v Speaker 1>years ago, where he just kind of is like, dude,

1584
01:25:04.279 --> 01:25:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm so he was so thankful that there were people

1585
01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:12.319
<v Speaker 1>around him that maybe they didn't really pick up because

1586
01:25:12.319 --> 01:25:14.079
<v Speaker 1>he was out on his own and he was living

1587
01:25:14.199 --> 01:25:16.640
<v Speaker 1>way ways from a lot of people. He ended up

1588
01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>moving back around where his family's from. I'm not going

1589
01:25:19.479 --> 01:25:21.279
<v Speaker 1>to get in specific, so so he could figure out

1590
01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:24.880
<v Speaker 1>which one of my relatives. But and he ended up

1591
01:25:24.880 --> 01:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>he had not gone to college. He ended up going

1592
01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:29.279
<v Speaker 1>to college, and he's got a great family now and

1593
01:25:29.319 --> 01:25:32.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy. So I want people to get help.

1594
01:25:32.800 --> 01:25:35.840
<v Speaker 1>But when you write an article and you give the

1595
01:25:35.920 --> 01:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>impression that the help is not there anymore because you

1596
01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:45.199
<v Speaker 1>want to score political points, that's evil. You should want

1597
01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:50.159
<v Speaker 1>whoever reads this article, if in fact they find themselves

1598
01:25:50.279 --> 01:25:53.319
<v Speaker 1>thinking of committing suicide, you want them to know that

1599
01:25:53.359 --> 01:25:56.039
<v Speaker 1>there is still help there, because now it just adds,

1600
01:25:56.439 --> 01:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>it adds another layer of hopelessness. That is, there's no

1601
01:26:02.479 --> 01:26:04.840
<v Speaker 1>other word for that. That ross that's evil? Right? Am

1602
01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I wrong here in calling that evil? That seems pretty

1603
01:26:07.039 --> 01:26:10.159
<v Speaker 1>evil to me to score political points trying to do that.

1604
01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:15.680
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, sorry, I went off on a little tangent

1605
01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>there because it just it irritated me that much. Oh this,

1606
01:26:19.640 --> 01:26:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Gavin knew something. Let me tell you about this. So uh,

1607
01:26:23.840 --> 01:26:30.279
<v Speaker 1>let's see here. Yesterday was Gavin Newsom's wife's birthday, and

1608
01:26:30.359 --> 01:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>so he on the official governor's account, he tweeted this.

1609
01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:40.079
<v Speaker 1>He said, happy birthday to the first partner of California.

1610
01:26:41.640 --> 01:26:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry the what what the first you mean? The

1611
01:26:44.840 --> 01:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>first lady? Right, and she identifies as a woman. We

1612
01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:52.119
<v Speaker 1>know that I will say this. She calls herself first

1613
01:26:52.119 --> 01:26:57.199
<v Speaker 1>partner too, So it's not like he just so please God,

1614
01:26:57.359 --> 01:27:00.159
<v Speaker 1>let's get that in the White House, right, these two

1615
01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:04.039
<v Speaker 1>super wokies. But yeah, so happy birthday the first partner

1616
01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>of California, the outstanding mother. Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1617
01:27:08.560 --> 01:27:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Wait a second, don't you mean birthing person? How do

1618
01:27:14.439 --> 01:27:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you get it so woke in the first one, and

1619
01:27:16.039 --> 01:27:19.600
<v Speaker 1>then forget to use birthing person or whatever the current

1620
01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:22.600
<v Speaker 1>woke term is. I'll see any mother of our four

1621
01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>incredible children and the love of my life. And look,

1622
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I love that he wanted to recognize his wife. I'm

1623
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:32.279
<v Speaker 1>not even gonna get into the you know, there's been

1624
01:27:32.279 --> 01:27:35.640
<v Speaker 1>some issues in the past, which is a crazy story.

1625
01:27:35.840 --> 01:27:39.119
<v Speaker 1>You can go check that out if you want, with

1626
01:27:39.159 --> 01:27:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a guy who used to work for him and uh

1627
01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>so yes, good, but uh first partner of California and

1628
01:27:47.439 --> 01:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it's and I know it's not it's his Twitter account

1629
01:27:50.039 --> 01:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and whatever, and she, I guess likes the term. That's fine.

1630
01:27:53.920 --> 01:27:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm just pointing out that it is all of this

1631
01:27:57.520 --> 01:28:02.039
<v Speaker 1>constant we have to change everything, and we're going to

1632
01:28:02.119 --> 01:28:05.159
<v Speaker 1>ram it down your throat. That really just screwed the

1633
01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:09.920
<v Speaker 1>pooch for Democrats under Biden, right when they're running around,

1634
01:28:10.079 --> 01:28:14.880
<v Speaker 1>they're running around and erasing history or deciding they were

1635
01:28:14.880 --> 01:28:17.199
<v Speaker 1>going to change things just for the purpose of changing

1636
01:28:17.319 --> 01:28:21.119
<v Speaker 1>and you will, you will submit. People revolted on that.

1637
01:28:21.159 --> 01:28:24.960
<v Speaker 1>They're like, no, there's enough of this garbage. So it's

1638
01:28:25.039 --> 01:28:27.359
<v Speaker 1>death by a thousand cuts when you see this stuff.

1639
01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:31.039
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, man, I so people remembered if

1640
01:28:31.319 --> 01:28:33.079
<v Speaker 1>when we get to the fact that he's probably going

1641
01:28:33.159 --> 01:28:38.319
<v Speaker 1>to be the nominee, although it was looking a little

1642
01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>tenuous with what's going on with the LA protests there,

1643
01:28:41.840 --> 01:28:45.119
<v Speaker 1>but those seem to have simmered down a bit. All right,

1663
01:29:28.239 --> 01:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, it was, it was.

1664
01:29:29.760 --> 01:29:31.399
<v Speaker 8>It was rough. I used to know what I was not.

1665
01:29:31.319 --> 01:29:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Gonna knock you a lot of memories.

1666
01:29:32.720 --> 01:29:34.520
<v Speaker 8>No, anyway, you're gonna knock me when I give you

1667
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:35.279
<v Speaker 8>the forecast though.

1668
01:29:35.439 --> 01:29:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, you're me out of the park. It's

1669
01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:38.439
<v Speaker 1>not gonna go well for you.

1670
01:29:38.520 --> 01:29:40.800
<v Speaker 15>So I would just say if you wanted to clean

1671
01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:42.720
<v Speaker 15>up the yard, he had things you wanted to do outside,

1672
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:43.279
<v Speaker 15>I would do them.

1673
01:29:43.319 --> 01:29:45.159
<v Speaker 8>Today bed uper eighties.

1674
01:29:45.319 --> 01:29:47.760
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, sunshine, because we're going to start the heat tomorrow,

1675
01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:50.439
<v Speaker 15>probably close to our above ninety depending where you are,

1676
01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:53.479
<v Speaker 15>then really crank it up for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday

1677
01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:57.399
<v Speaker 15>look like the hottest days record heat possible. I thought

1678
01:29:57.520 --> 01:30:02.119
<v Speaker 15>likely for Raleigh Tryad. I mentioned it earlier at the

1679
01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:06.000
<v Speaker 15>airport in Greensboro. The records are all nineteen fourteen next week,

1680
01:30:06.079 --> 01:30:08.119
<v Speaker 15>so I don't know what that was in nineteen fourteen.

1681
01:30:08.199 --> 01:30:11.399
<v Speaker 15>But Monday's record for Raleigh set last year, and so

1682
01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:13.600
<v Speaker 15>was Thursdays. I'm like, I don't remember that. It was

1683
01:30:13.600 --> 01:30:17.239
<v Speaker 15>one hundred and three next week on Thursday last year,

1684
01:30:17.399 --> 01:30:20.079
<v Speaker 15>if that makes sense. Huh, It's kind of crazy. It's like,

1685
01:30:20.119 --> 01:30:22.560
<v Speaker 15>I don't remember that last year. But anyway, so we're

1686
01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:24.600
<v Speaker 15>going into the nineties and then close to one hundred

1687
01:30:24.600 --> 01:30:27.279
<v Speaker 15>for Monday Tuesday. As I said, the try had probably

1688
01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:29.039
<v Speaker 15>be in the middle of the upper nineties either way,

1689
01:30:29.279 --> 01:30:31.399
<v Speaker 15>eating disease over one hundred, We're probably not going to

1690
01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:34.960
<v Speaker 15>break the heat right through Thursday. It looks like it's

1691
01:30:34.960 --> 01:30:37.319
<v Speaker 15>going to stay mid upper nineties. No rain, some severe

1692
01:30:37.319 --> 01:30:40.640
<v Speaker 15>weather reports yesterday didn't see any tornado reports, but some

1693
01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:44.279
<v Speaker 15>trees and limbs down and even some spots saw some

1694
01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:45.000
<v Speaker 15>hail to the north.

1695
01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, do you appreciate it? I average Olf

1696

<v Speaker 1>a good weekend, sir, you too. All right, there you go,

1697
01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:53.680
<v Speaker 1>race Agic from the Weather Channel. Okay, coming up, we're

1698
01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna chat with Jeff Bellinger and I saved it here

1699
01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to the very end. As part of this podcast, at

1700
01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:06.319
<v Speaker 1>our partnership with Cambria Hotel and Heywood Park Hotel, they

1701
01:31:06.399 --> 01:31:10.279
<v Speaker 1>have been kind enough to put together a prize, so

1702
01:31:10.359 --> 01:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be giving away. It is like a

1703
01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:17.439
<v Speaker 1>weekend stay package with food, credit and everything, and we're

1704
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:19.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be doing that in the next segment. I'll

1705
01:31:19.560 --> 01:31:21.560
<v Speaker 1>tell you how to win in just a few minutes.

1706
01:31:21.560 --> 01:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>To stick around. Heap fifty two and we're cha out

1707
01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:28.000
<v Speaker 1>with Jeff Bello. Jeff's working from home today, I think

1708
01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:31.279
<v Speaker 1>because he's on the phone. Jeff, how'd you swing that, buddy?

1709
01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:32.039
<v Speaker 14>Oh?

1710
01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:36.039
<v Speaker 3>I just had the head yesterday off and it's a

1711
01:31:36.119 --> 01:31:38.279
<v Speaker 3>nice chance to skip the commute today.

1712
01:31:38.760 --> 01:31:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I hear you, I hear you. All right, So what's

1713
01:31:40.399 --> 01:31:41.119
<v Speaker 1>happening today?

1714
01:31:41.479 --> 01:31:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, the stock market futures did some direction changing earlier,

1715
01:31:45.760 --> 01:31:49.119
<v Speaker 3>but they're pointing higher at the moment right across the board. Now,

1716
01:31:49.239 --> 01:31:52.279
<v Speaker 3>futures are up one hundred twenty points. We have CarMax

1717
01:31:52.399 --> 01:31:55.720
<v Speaker 3>shares pointing higher and pre market trading use car sales

1718
01:31:55.840 --> 01:32:00.319
<v Speaker 3>or up. Carmacks posted better than expected quarterly results. Pairs

1719
01:32:00.359 --> 01:32:03.680
<v Speaker 3>of garden restaurants also higher. The parent of Olive Garden

1720
01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:07.399
<v Speaker 3>and other dining chains reported quarterly sales that were right

1721
01:32:07.439 --> 01:32:10.439
<v Speaker 3>in line with estimates. Trude oil futures have also been

1722
01:32:10.680 --> 01:32:14.119
<v Speaker 3>sea sawing this morning. Traders were concerned about a possible

1723
01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:17.359
<v Speaker 3>US strike on Iran, but the White House indicated to

1724
01:32:17.399 --> 01:32:20.960
<v Speaker 3>strike is not imminent that President Trump will decide what

1725
01:32:21.079 --> 01:32:23.119
<v Speaker 3>to do within a couple of weeks. But there are

1726
01:32:23.159 --> 01:32:26.079
<v Speaker 3>still worries about the Strait of Hormuz City groups as

1727
01:32:26.079 --> 01:32:29.000
<v Speaker 3>oil could spike to ninety dollars a barrel if the

1728
01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:32.479
<v Speaker 3>strait should be closed, and falling gasoline prices will mean

1729
01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:35.399
<v Speaker 3>more road trips over the fourth of July holiday period.

1730
01:32:35.640 --> 01:32:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Triple A is predicting more than sixty one million people

1731
01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:42.640
<v Speaker 3>will drive somewhere between June twenty eighth and July sixth,

1732
01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:45.159
<v Speaker 3>and that would be a record. Be ready for sticker

1733
01:32:45.239 --> 01:32:47.319
<v Speaker 3>shock if you're in the market for a new car,

1734
01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:51.199
<v Speaker 3>consultants at Alex Partners say automakers will pass most of

1735
01:32:51.239 --> 01:32:55.399
<v Speaker 3>their terraff related expenses along to customers. New vehicle prices

1736
01:32:55.479 --> 01:32:58.840
<v Speaker 3>are already high, and its estimated tariffs will increase the

1737
01:32:58.880 --> 01:33:02.279
<v Speaker 3>sticker price of every car by nearly two thousand dollars.

1738
01:33:02.680 --> 01:33:06.000
<v Speaker 3>And Casey, the annual ranking by The Points Guy says

1739
01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Delta Airlines still the best airline in America. Delta has

1740
01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:12.359
<v Speaker 3>held that top spot for seven years in a row.

1741
01:33:12.680 --> 01:33:16.000
<v Speaker 3>United Airlines a close second this year. The Points Guy

1742
01:33:16.119 --> 01:33:20.079
<v Speaker 3>uses a formula to evaluate every aspect of a traveler's experience,

1743
01:33:20.359 --> 01:33:23.159
<v Speaker 3>from booking a flight to baggage delivery.

1744
01:33:23.319 --> 01:33:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Casey, All right, well that's good. I think I just

1745
01:33:25.880 --> 01:33:30.800
<v Speaker 1>lost my return audio ross. So if Jeff is wrapping up, Jeff,

1746
01:33:30.840 --> 01:33:32.479
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sorry if I'm talking over you, because I

1747
01:33:32.520 --> 01:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>know that the the send audio is working, So uh,

1748
01:33:36.640 --> 01:33:42.239
<v Speaker 1>talk amongst yourselves until that kicks back there, So do

1749
01:33:42.840 --> 01:33:43.439
<v Speaker 1>do do?

1750
01:33:44.520 --> 01:33:44.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

1751
01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey, yeah, there you go. Now you're okay? All right?

1752
01:33:47.239 --> 01:33:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Is Jeff done? Why wouldn't do that? Yoh, I guess

1753
01:33:50.119 --> 01:33:52.760
<v Speaker 1>he has done. How awkward did that sound? Did you

1754
01:33:52.800 --> 01:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>tell him about all the murder stuff while I was

1755
01:33:54.680 --> 01:33:58.840
<v Speaker 1>off again? Like you did yesterday. Okay, all right, well

1756
01:33:58.880 --> 01:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>let's go uh, let's go in rock and roll with this.

1757
01:34:00.760 --> 01:34:03.680
<v Speaker 1>We got just a few minutes, so obviously I just

1758
01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:06.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of wrap up this broadcast week couple different ways. One,

1759
01:34:07.680 --> 01:34:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to let you know that you know, obviously,

1760
01:34:11.319 --> 01:34:13.439
<v Speaker 1>you know what we be communicating all week. The best

1761
01:34:13.439 --> 01:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>thing you can do, and it could be Ashville, could

1762
01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:19.079
<v Speaker 1>be you go up to tweet see like Ross and

1763
01:34:19.119 --> 01:34:22.039
<v Speaker 1>his family did. Whatever it is. The mountains of North

1764
01:34:22.039 --> 01:34:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Carolina are open. Not everything's open, but there's more than

1765
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:29.840

1800
01:36:16.359 --> 01:36:18.479
<v Speaker 1>real quick. There's a crazy story. We tweeted this out

1801
01:36:18.520 --> 01:36:23.840
<v Speaker 1>earlier where a dude killed his neighbors allegedly over a

1802
01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:28.119
<v Speaker 1>one dollar hot dog and they're nwdas and he became

1803
01:36:28.159 --> 01:36:30.640
<v Speaker 1>insulted that when they when he asked him to bring

1804
01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:33.720
<v Speaker 1>them food, that they brought him a one dollar hot dog, which,

1805
01:36:33.760 --> 01:36:35.159
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I want to know where they sell

1806
01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:39.119
<v Speaker 1>one dollar hot dogs because holy hell, man, right, where

1807
01:36:39.560 --> 01:36:41.520
<v Speaker 1>do you find a one dollar hot dog these days?

1808
01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:45.399
<v Speaker 1>But he had, for the second day in a row,

1809
01:36:45.479 --> 01:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>he had created a secret room. Only in this case,

1810
01:36:48.039 --> 01:36:51.039
<v Speaker 1>he basically because it's a trailer an RV and trailer park,

1811
01:36:51.520 --> 01:36:54.000
<v Speaker 1>he dug like a murder pit under his house and

1812
01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:57.159
<v Speaker 1>then just chopped up his neighbors down there. So my

1813
01:36:57.159 --> 01:36:59.600
<v Speaker 1>my parting thing to you on this very sort of

1814
01:36:59.680 --> 01:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>tail is if your family member at any point has

1815
01:37:02.279 --> 01:37:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a secret room or pit and you're not allowed in it,

1816
01:37:07.159 --> 01:37:08.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe you should check it out.

1817
01:37:08.560 --> 01:37:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Not when they're there, though,
