Speaker 1: So I'm just I'm reading this piece this morning. I
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna start here, but I'm just so irritated by
Speaker 1: it that this is how we're.
Speaker 2: Going to roll.
Speaker 1: So as you guys are probably aware, Harry and Megan, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Harry and Megan, Yes, that that that Harry,
Speaker 1: the old the old Prince Harry.
Speaker 2: They have have had.
Speaker 1: I guess it's a combination of both some pretty lucrative
Speaker 1: media contracts and as somebody in the media, this stuff
Speaker 1: irritates me to the tenth power man. Usually I'm irritated
Speaker 1: by failed congressman who you know, go to a radio
Speaker 1: station and and some lunatic owners like y'ah, let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and give them a show, even though they've never
Speaker 1: done you know, other than be interviewed, they've never done it,
Speaker 1: and then they just.
Speaker 2: Want for three hours.
Speaker 1: And I hate it because I work in an ever
Speaker 1: shrinking industry. This is there's there's there's just simply not
Speaker 1: as many uh news talk people as there used to be,
Speaker 1: so you you really really got to buckle down, man,
Speaker 1: And so that irritates me and and and Megan and
Speaker 1: Harry are kind of the same.
Speaker 2: So if you tally together.
Speaker 1: The Netflix, Spotify and uh what is there's a production
Speaker 1: company to whatever if you basically movies, streaming television. Okay, right,
Speaker 1: so they're they're they're covering all their bases. If you
Speaker 1: tally together the amount of money these two detestable people
Speaker 1: were handed, it's like a quarter billion dollars just for
Speaker 1: being there. Oh and and publishing, right, because didn't he
Speaker 1: wrote a book where he where he's like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: the spare I think that's what it was called spare right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wrote a book He's like.
Speaker 2: I'm the spare King. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We with all the teen angst in the world, and
Speaker 1: it all has failed, man, every bit of it. And
Speaker 1: now it looks like the production company Netflix and well
Speaker 1: Spotify had already announced they were parting ways, they're all out.
Speaker 1: They're just done with these two. But you know they
Speaker 1: still paid them, you know, a quarter billion dollars.
Speaker 2: You only got to do it once.
Speaker 1: Somebody wants to come in and give Ross and I
Speaker 1: a quarter billion dollars to do an awful show for
Speaker 1: a year and then retire Ross, would that strain your
Speaker 1: credibility or you in quarter billion one year work and
Speaker 1: then that's it. Yeah, people are jumping on that, man.
Speaker 1: I so uh they were. They were just going over
Speaker 1: all the projects. I didn't know half of these existed
Speaker 1: or were literally out there to be consumed.
Speaker 2: And I and I stream on Netflix all the time.
Speaker 1: Oh and uh and they sent out Christmas cards this
Speaker 1: year from the office of Prince Harry and Megan. They're
Speaker 1: just there's nothing genuine about these two. They deserve each other,
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you. So apparently none of
Speaker 1: you watched Polo.
Speaker 2: Do you even know what that is? I had no
Speaker 2: idea what this thing is.
Speaker 1: Apparently there is a series on Netflix right now called Polo,
Speaker 1: which is supposed to be one of these really amped up,
Speaker 1: like behind the scenes sporting shows. Obviously, I'm trying to think,
Speaker 1: what's the NFL one that they're doing with the Ravens
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I don't watch it.
Speaker 1: I tried watching like a couple episodes a few years ago.
Speaker 1: I just really didn't care. Hold on, I'll tell you,
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks that's what it is. Yeah, they've done like
Speaker 1: a dozen seasons.
Speaker 2: I watched one. I just really wasn't into it.
Speaker 1: So like they wanted to do a Hard Knocks, But
Speaker 1: apparently it's for polo players. I'm not knocking you if
Speaker 1: you want to play polo. In fact, where I grew up,
Speaker 1: there is a huge polo facility up in Bighorn, just
Speaker 1: kind of between Sheridan and Buffalo and a lot of people. Oh,
Speaker 1: Christopher Reeve played their one time, not the not the
Speaker 1: one time it didn't work out, but one. I just
Speaker 1: remember that as a kid like Christopher Reeves. Here, we're
Speaker 1: doing a polo thing anyway, and that's fine. But here's
Speaker 1: what I know about polo. Poor people don't play polo.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a program somewhere, but it's it's a
Speaker 1: rich person's sport. And I'm not saying that's necessarily a
Speaker 1: bad thing. You know, like the America Cup, the America Cup,
Speaker 1: you know, the sailing, that's.
Speaker 2: A rich persons sport too. I got no beef there.
Speaker 1: Arguably, the NFL is a rich person's sport, although made
Speaker 1: so by the NFL, and apparently none of you watched
Speaker 1: it at all, to the point where Netflix is reportedly
Speaker 1: going to be pulling the renewal of their one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars annual deal and Megan's Cooking Show isn't going
Speaker 1: to be aired, which I didn't know she cooked, but
Speaker 1: apparently she does.
Speaker 2: Except think of Ross. Do you ever watch cooking shows?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe your wife watches them and then
Speaker 2: you you watch them.
Speaker 3: I watched Chopped, every used to be in them a
Speaker 3: while ago, but not really, not recently.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to cook, by the way, and so
Speaker 1: I'll watch a cooking show in the background or something.
Speaker 1: So her cooking show was her making jam and now
Speaker 1: the world will probably never see. It doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: they're gonna air this thing. I mean, it's I like
Speaker 1: the smugness of all of it. And and and they're
Speaker 1: and they're realizing nobody really likes them. They like them
Speaker 1: for the purpose of hating on them, and I guess
Speaker 1: maybe if they embrace that role.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not uh not going well.
Speaker 1: So the couple who recently who sent out their Christmas
Speaker 1: card uh super impersonal on behalf of the office of
Speaker 1: Prince Harry and Megan are also being criticized because their
Speaker 1: Christmas card is apparently them hugging and holding hands with
Speaker 1: a bunch of like really destitute Nigerian people. And then
Speaker 1: they go back and realize that it was a scheduled
Speaker 1: photo shoot. So when they were visiting Africa, they scheduled
Speaker 1: a two hour photo shoot to take the pictures that
Speaker 1: they then use for their Christmas card. They're like, find
Speaker 1: us some pores after our polo so that we have
Speaker 1: we have stuff for our Christmas card. Dude, Honestly, I
Speaker 1: would prefer not to even think of these two, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you.
Speaker 2: But you can't help it, right, Oprah Oprah went.
Speaker 1: And did the big interview, and then you know, all
Speaker 1: the news stories come through, but it's just flop after
Speaker 1: flop after flop and there and then one hundred. Netflix
Speaker 1: is still paying them the hundred mil. They're literally paying
Speaker 1: them not to produce shows now until I guess the
Speaker 1: contract's over.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The series Polo is one of the biggest flops in
Speaker 1: Netflix's history. The series offered audiences an unprecedented behind the
Speaker 1: scenes look into the passion and determination driving the world's
Speaker 1: elite polo players, the grit behind the glamour a quarter
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Quarter billion dollars could have been could have been.
Speaker 1: Give it to Ross and I We'll find something to
Speaker 1: do with it.
Speaker 3: Ross.
Speaker 1: Probably buy that amulet from the news story the other
Speaker 1: day with the scroll inside, just so he can see
Speaker 1: if it's magic, I don't know, give us some few money.
Speaker 1: See what happens probably will be much more interesting than
Speaker 1: these two. All right, six sixteen, we got other stuff
Speaker 1: we gotta get into. We'll get into that next hang on,
Speaker 1: run now what we're gonna be getting into? Yes, Janet,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 4: Kind of casey. I'm a little bit shocked this morning.
Speaker 4: I'm understand. Maybe I'm misunderstood. Y'all want making a quarter
Speaker 4: million or show?
Speaker 2: Not a shot?
Speaker 1: Neither were they. That was annually, so you know that
Speaker 1: was you you gotta spread. Wow, I'm making slightly less
Speaker 1: than that, so it's a little under Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, now now you got me a little concerned. I'm
Speaker 4: thinking maybe you and Rosso undervalued yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh that that is that's a thousand percent clear, so
Speaker 1: absolutely travesty.
Speaker 2: No, and honestly I don't know about ross. Uh if
Speaker 2: I may.
Speaker 1: If you pay me a quarter million this year, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing a show next year, and I like
Speaker 1: doing radio, but I also like having a quarter million
Speaker 1: dollars to go do dumb stuff with.
Speaker 2: So there's that. Yeah, well didn't give us a quarter mill,
Speaker 2: so uh AnyWho? Sorry, but hey, if everyone. If everyone
Speaker 2: just wants to send us a bunch of money, that's fine.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, it's definitely best for us that you don't
Speaker 4: have a quarter million. I didn't understand the consequence. So
Speaker 4: now I've got a column top of your boss anyway,
Speaker 4: So yeah, make sure you'll never get that.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, if you can figure out who it is,
Speaker 2: you go right ahead, Okay, all right, all right, thank you.
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm speaking on a turned Ross. If I
Speaker 1: handed you a quarter million dollars, you're showing up tomorrow
Speaker 1: because that's our last show of the year. Well maybe
Speaker 1: you do one more, right, Hey, we'd finish out the year.
Speaker 1: We're not animals. But yeah, give me a quarter million bucks.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I always wonder about that. But then it's like, if
Speaker 1: you're making that, then they're gonna pay you that again,
Speaker 1: So get the bag, queen, as they say, all right,
Speaker 1: let me let me jump on this. So yesterday I tried,
Speaker 1: I try to have this window.
Speaker 2: Try to have this window where I I you.
Speaker 1: Know, we do production. I do my production after the show.
Speaker 1: Ross likes to do his before the show, but they're
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day, to the extent that
Speaker 1: it's possible. You try to disconnect from the news cycle.
Speaker 1: You see stuff, any catalog it and you know, like,
Speaker 1: I'll save it throughout the day so I can send
Speaker 1: it in prep later. But ultimately it's like it keeps
Speaker 1: your brain from melting with everything going on. And then
Speaker 1: in the evening, I put together show prep, send it
Speaker 1: over to Ross, and Ross puts all the stuff together.
Speaker 1: That's oh quarter billion, Yes, thank you, Boston Paul, who's
Speaker 1: apparently our accountant. Now it's early. This is why I
Speaker 1: need a quarter billion, so I have to get up
Speaker 1: this early. AnyWho put it all together and then you know, off,
Speaker 1: off you go. But yesterday I messed up. I started
Speaker 1: reading what was in this proposed continuing resolution and everything.
Speaker 2: Every time I read something, I got.
Speaker 1: More and more angry about how on God's green earth
Speaker 1: following this election, an election that went the way that
Speaker 1: it did, where clearly people including Democratic voters, historically Democratic voters,
Speaker 1: lots of them, and of course Republican voters.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean like the Lincoln project.
Speaker 1: Idiots, but even people who you know, didn't like Trump
Speaker 1: on the Republican side, there's a lot of those. But
Speaker 1: they're also they realized which option was I guess the
Speaker 1: one they could hold their nose to. I don't care
Speaker 1: how people got there. And I'm looking at this continuing
Speaker 1: resolution and it is clear to me that the Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House and any Republicans, I understand one of
Speaker 1: the Democrats might like it because of some of the
Speaker 1: stuff in there, But like how these things got shoved
Speaker 1: in there? Now, I mean, the pay raise is one thing.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't have a problem if
Speaker 1: they want to have some sort of open discussion on
Speaker 1: increasing the pay it's it's a drop in the bucket. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is a lot of money, going from one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy four thousand I think is the current congressional
Speaker 1: pay up to two forty three I think is what
Speaker 1: they were proposing in there. I yes, I get all
Speaker 1: that stuff, but it's just like it's the least of
Speaker 1: the problems. That's the least of the problems. So I'm
Speaker 1: not going to book a guest for this. Apparently, scientists
Speaker 1: say that the murder hornet has been eradicated from the US.
Speaker 1: How would you know, right, remember do you remember when
Speaker 1: they found the first murder hornet.
Speaker 2: Hive?
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. Lay out in Washington that
Speaker 1: you didn't even know it was here? So how do
Speaker 1: you know they're all gone? Well, there's there, you go.
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about murder hornets anymore.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's from the USDA. No weird press release. Mark Davidson
Speaker 1: is quoted in here is the us DA's Animal and
Speaker 1: Plant Health Inspection Service Director. We're proud of this landmark
Speaker 1: victory in the fight against invasive species.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think most people thought they were going to run
Speaker 1: into a murder hornet. Like I wanted some murder hornets
Speaker 1: to put in my screen patio for solicitors, and then
Speaker 1: I would just use the I just used the other
Speaker 1: door because I always used the other door. But that
Speaker 1: would have been nice. They come in, Oh, you're gonna
Speaker 1: sell vacuums. Welcome to my murder hornet patio. But I
Speaker 1: guess apparently I missed my window here, all right, so
Speaker 1: you just got Now you just have to worry about
Speaker 1: aliens or Iranian mother ships, so not murder hornets this
Speaker 1: holiday season.
Speaker 2: How nice is that? All right?
Speaker 1: Let's oh a quick rundown eight oh five, since it
Speaker 1: is Thursday, Stephen Kennell join us.
Speaker 2: We'll talk video a little of the video game.
Speaker 1: Stuff Ross and I were talking about yesterday. We got
Speaker 1: a few things, so yeah, we'll do our NERD correspondence section.
Speaker 1: Oh and some video game. Some video game. And it's
Speaker 1: a I guess it's a Disney product. All right, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I did a video game a show. Some Disney product,
Speaker 1: a Pixar product, has apparently scrapped the entire storyline.
Speaker 2: What does the series win or lose?
Speaker 1: And in this the storyline initially had a trans storyline.
Speaker 2: For the show.
Speaker 1: The first episode set to I guess air February nine.
Speaker 1: It's an animated show, so I guess it's a lot
Speaker 1: easier to scrap it and do it. But this is
Speaker 1: what we've talked about with Steven for a while, Like
Speaker 1: at some point Disney's got to go, we're just burning money.
Speaker 1: We got we're just burning money with this stuff, and
Speaker 1: we need to get it, you know, Let's get something
Speaker 1: out there. And keep in mind too that this was
Speaker 1: targeted at really the youngest audience there, right, so they're
Speaker 1: they're targeting like six to ten year olds. The series,
Speaker 1: which well air its first episode February nineteenth follows a
Speaker 1: co ed middle school softball team preparing for the big
Speaker 1: championship game, and one of the I guess the lead
Speaker 1: of the player are for the character is that they're
Speaker 1: identifying as transgender and they're going to go play on
Speaker 1: They're a male biologically transitioned female and you're going to
Speaker 1: play on a women's softball team. And Disney's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that, especially especially for Okay, it's
Speaker 1: not six to ten. Excuse me, it is eight to thirteen.
Speaker 1: That's a weird demo. That's not an actual demo, but whatever,
Speaker 1: I guess that's who they're targeting. Yeah, yeah, here we go. Okay,
Speaker 1: so the trans lead in this, Chanelle Stewart. Their character
Speaker 1: is a fourteen year old transgender girl. Sorry, I'm just
Speaker 1: there's a more expansive story here than the one I
Speaker 1: put in prep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's basically it.
Speaker 1: I don't really see anything else in here today. But
Speaker 1: you know, why would Disney make that decision? I again,
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff bru and a lot of stuff happening right now
Speaker 1: where people are reacting to what happened with the election,
Speaker 1: and maybe this is it. But we'll chat with Steven
Speaker 1: about that coming up here in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: All right, I need to know how this happens now.
Speaker 1: Admittedly I haven't been to a kid's school in a while.
Speaker 5: Ross.
Speaker 1: If you go to your kid's school, what what do
Speaker 1: you have to do as a visitor from a safety standpoint?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: So you stand outside the door.
Speaker 2: You can't even walk inside.
Speaker 3: No, that's impossible. So you stand outside, yeah, and you're
Speaker 3: ing the buzzer and then they have you on camera
Speaker 3: and they say, hey, what are you here for?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: And you see what you're there for, and then you
Speaker 3: have to take out your ID and hold it up
Speaker 3: to the camera and then they check the name I
Speaker 3: mean good and then they buzz you in and then
Speaker 3: you go to the front office. Then you show your
Speaker 3: IDA again. Then you go up to the there's like
Speaker 3: a digital check in kiosk, good Lord, where once again
Speaker 3: you have to put while you're there, what's your name is?
Speaker 3: They have to scan your ID on the kiosk. Then
Speaker 3: they find your kid's name in the directory and then
Speaker 3: they called the classroom to bring the kid out.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's what an hour before you can see
Speaker 1: you pretty much.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, all right.
Speaker 1: Now, and I'm laughing, and look, I hate that we
Speaker 1: have to do this, but I appreciate and I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you appreciate that they're trying to provide a ha.
Speaker 3: You're completely I'm not. There's no point during it where
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh no, because I understand why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you understand why. And again I I hate that
Speaker 1: it's a thing. It's a because like I remember, I
Speaker 1: remember the first time when I went to college and
Speaker 1: then I came back the first time visited. You know,
Speaker 1: I still had friends that were in Buffalo High School there,
Speaker 1: and I remember I rolled over one lunch, just walked in,
Speaker 1: walked over to some classes, talked to some teachers and
Speaker 1: some students.
Speaker 2: So I mean, it was it was insanely easy over kids.
Speaker 2: But it's not.
Speaker 1: That's not how it is anymore. With that being said,
Speaker 1: this story out of Wilson's insane. I don't fully know
Speaker 1: what motivated this quote unquote parent to show up, but.
Speaker 2: The video is bonkers.
Speaker 1: Forty three year old Quinton Lofton, who gained access to
Speaker 1: the school and then say, hey, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do. I'm gonna go strangle a seventeen year old student.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is one of those weird
Speaker 1: things where the student was bullying their kid and some
Speaker 1: parent decided that they're gonna get retributed.
Speaker 2: It's a little unclear.
Speaker 1: So in the footage you see the forty three year
Speaker 1: old grabbing the seventeen year old, pushing him towards the staircase.
Speaker 1: The student literally starts having what looks like a seizure.
Speaker 1: He's being manhandled so aggressively. Eventually he gets up and
Speaker 1: walks away. But the part where this this lunatic who
Speaker 1: has a criminal record including sex crimes by the way,
Speaker 1: so that's nice, was able just to go into the
Speaker 1: school and start strangling a seventeen year old.
Speaker 2: This is at Fike Fike High School. Sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's how it's pronounced.
Speaker 1: I don't know all the schools in Wilson or Wilson
Speaker 1: as my friend says, who's from there? And he puts
Speaker 1: a T in it? And I have no idea why anyway, Um,
Speaker 1: it's pretty tom. And I don't get me wrong, we've
Speaker 1: all thought of strangling a high school student for being
Speaker 1: a smartass. Mostly it's probably your kid, right, But you
Speaker 1: don't do it, and you sure as hell don't go
Speaker 1: to a school and do it, and it's on video.
Speaker 1: The sister what is the sister's name, Shaniqua, Shaniqua. She
Speaker 1: says she's referring to her brother. He's pretty traumatized right now,
Speaker 1: very shaken up by the whole event that took place
Speaker 1: this morning. All right, let's we got audio on this,
Speaker 1: so let's go ahead and get into this.
Speaker 3: What the hell, it's a disturbing video that's hard to watch.
Speaker 3: Then and a man named Quentin Lofton appears to grab
Speaker 3: a student buy the shirt and forces him towards the staircase.
Speaker 6: What happens next, The seventeen year old is pushed to
Speaker 6: the ground.
Speaker 7: He appears to have a seizure.
Speaker 3: He then gets up and walks away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and thankful for that.
Speaker 6: All right, let's continue to deal with absolutely disturbing, disgusting
Speaker 6: driving to my family and none of us can't can't
Speaker 6: even look at a video.
Speaker 5: Just heartbreaking. I mean, I'm gonna do nothing but pride.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So again, this is the sister of
Speaker 1: the student who was reportedly strangled.
Speaker 5: Wait with anyone at all?
Speaker 1: Growing man walking into the old.
Speaker 7: I'm nobody knows. I'm walking through the food with.
Speaker 2: She's a thousand percent right.
Speaker 1: Also, and it's like, so all the stuff Ross just
Speaker 1: explained when he wants to go to his kids school.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the experience for those of you with
Speaker 1: kids listening at some point you've had to go through
Speaker 1: all of this. But and and and we just had
Speaker 1: a school shooting obviously up in Wisconsin, which, by the way, there's.
Speaker 7: More on that.
Speaker 1: Apparently they they she had an accomplice, kind of we'll
Speaker 1: get into that. But and and and then for it
Speaker 1: to be people to be so derelict in what they're
Speaker 1: doing unless there's something I'm missing here, like maybe the
Speaker 1: guy the guy forced a door or something, but I
Speaker 1: don't see that in here.
Speaker 2: So it's like, you want all we want to do
Speaker 2: these things.
Speaker 1: We want to figure out how we can provide safety
Speaker 1: for students. You as parents don't want to worry about
Speaker 1: your kid when you're you know, work that day. I
Speaker 1: wonder if there's some lunatic in the school, and and
Speaker 1: and and yet you fall down so aggressively on this.
Speaker 1: I got emails from parents who have kids going to
Speaker 1: the school. They're like, you can imagine they're they're a
Speaker 1: little weirded out right now. And I still haven't seen
Speaker 1: an update on why he went after that student. So
Speaker 1: if you want to give us some spy report stuff,
Speaker 1: I guess you can. If you if you're a parent
Speaker 1: over there, got a little gossip, that's fine, we'll do that.
Speaker 2: That's fine. You're absolutely right. Locals do put a tea
Speaker 2: in Wolson. I know it's weird. I mean it's not.
Speaker 1: It's just like I just have a buddy who grew
Speaker 1: up there, and it's just that's the way he says it.
Speaker 1: So I guess maybe that's how they sniff out locals.
Speaker 1: All right, Oh, look at this all right?
Speaker 2: Ted? What's going on?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard that.
Speaker 2: I mean I worked with Quinton Locke, been for about
Speaker 2: three years really, and from what I understand that his
Speaker 2: daughter let him in his daughter what letting him in
Speaker 2: the school? Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: Well, and that this is this is, this is why
Speaker 1: we're doing the spire because I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: how we got in there.
Speaker 2: But also it's right but but and here's the other
Speaker 2: thing though.
Speaker 1: Also, it's a really bad security system if a single
Speaker 1: student can defeat it at whim, because then all you
Speaker 1: need is one student who wants to shoot up a
Speaker 1: school who lets their accomplice in. And we're right, you know,
Speaker 1: we're into horrific news cycles. So that sounds like a
Speaker 1: pretty bad system. So when you work with this guy,
Speaker 1: was he a lunatic or was he pretty normal?
Speaker 5: He was?
Speaker 4: He seemed to be fairly normal up until his last arrest.
Speaker 5: And I still don't understand why we didn't let him go.
Speaker 2: What do you mean by that? Well, oh, you mean
Speaker 2: you're I got you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, my employer.
Speaker 1: Can I ask what the industry you're in, sir? Without
Speaker 1: saying your employer name, what industry are you in?
Speaker 9: Aerold space?
Speaker 2: Okay? All right, so he's a rocket scientist, is.
Speaker 7: That No, he was just a technician where I worked.
Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, earlier this year, I believe it is
Speaker 2: early this year.
Speaker 9: He was arrested on child Yeah, but be nice. I
Speaker 9: guess he was pulling around with a child.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know he's got some of the charges he's
Speaker 1: got hanging over him or pretty pretty detestable.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, yeah, this whole thing's weird. Man. All Right,
Speaker 2: thank you for the thank you for the spy report.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that as always, so we.
Speaker 1: Do around these parts. All right, six forty eight coming
Speaker 1: up on the show. We got we got several school stories.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. Uh Man, San Francisco, San Francisco.
Speaker 1: This every day, you guys give me something. And I
Speaker 1: love this headline. Notorious Mexican drug cartel boss el Chabeo
Speaker 1: Chibello Chibello. I think gunn down in a wild shootout
Speaker 1: after cock fight, bloodbath. This is dude, this is the
Speaker 1: most Mexican cartel story I think I've ever seen Sinaloa.
Speaker 2: By the way, in case you wonder what team he
Speaker 2: plays for. We'll get to the head as well, but
Speaker 2: first we'll take a break. Be right back. Hang on.
Speaker 1: This thing's a dumpster fire all on its own. I'm
Speaker 1: also very disappointed to see this. And uh oh, let
Speaker 1: me just let me just go on notice here too,
Speaker 1: if I could so, and we'll we'll identify a few
Speaker 1: items in here, and then we'll read this tweet that
Speaker 1: Congressman Murphy sent out.
Speaker 2: Doctor Murphy. I guess.
Speaker 1: This is and less I'm misreading this, and I'll get
Speaker 1: I will give him the opportunity to clarify because if
Speaker 1: as I understand this tweet, screw this guy.
Speaker 2: Let me just go on record here, okay, and also.
Speaker 1: Let me say this, and I tweeted this out yesterday,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 2: On the radio too.
Speaker 1: And frankly, it might make Ross's job easier because any
Speaker 1: doesn't have to schedule one of these. If you are
Speaker 1: in the North Carolina delegation and you vote for this
Speaker 1: continuing resolution, which that includes the items that we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about, you're not welcome on this show, okay,
Speaker 1: except to talk about that. The only exemption I will
Speaker 1: give is for you to come on and talk about
Speaker 1: why you voted for this piece of garbage. Now it
Speaker 1: sounds like they're going to have to rework this thing,
Speaker 1: so we'll evaluate with what they put forward. But if
Speaker 1: if you were planning to vote for that, and had
Speaker 1: you voted for that, you're not welcome on this show
Speaker 1: to talk about anything that's good for you. The only
Speaker 1: thing you can come on and talk about is why
Speaker 1: you sold out your constituents and people go, well, then
Speaker 1: you're not going to have as many members of Congress
Speaker 1: are good, don't care, don't care. I understand from a
Speaker 1: traditional media standpoint, that'd be a thing but that's not how.
Speaker 2: We roll big roster.
Speaker 1: I give two craps if a senator or congressman's on
Speaker 1: the show versus just talking about video games or school
Speaker 1: stuff or you know, whatever stories are out there. No, frankly,
Speaker 1: I find most of it really boring when you get
Speaker 1: into repetitive answers. They don't get me wrong. I appreciate
Speaker 1: people come on and are willing to talk about whatever.
Speaker 10: We have.
Speaker 1: Senator, but on, I've never fed them a story, so
Speaker 1: he'll come on. But I also saw that his objection
Speaker 1: to this, and I hope that it's more according to
Speaker 1: his own tweet, was not including more hurricane relief, which
Speaker 1: is fine, but even if it did, I don't know
Speaker 1: that you could vote for this. And I little spy,
Speaker 1: little spy report from somebody up in DC. Apparently it
Speaker 1: was just pandemonium yesterday. We get things rolling. One hour
Speaker 1: from now, we'll be chatting with Stephen Kent, our official
Speaker 1: NERD correspondent.
Speaker 10: There.
Speaker 1: We got a few things to go ahead and get into. Sorry,
Speaker 1: and I just saw a couple of little things, and
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna get over to the cr which I
Speaker 1: thought was interesting. If you don't think that there is
Speaker 1: a slight imbalance in payroll in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2: Check this out.
Speaker 1: So, first and foremost, the lowest paid team in baseball
Speaker 1: is Tampa the Devil Rays, Okay, which is not a surprise.
Speaker 1: What is the surprise is how well they've done because
Speaker 1: they've always kind of been that way. And then the
Speaker 1: Twins are pretty low too, but whatever. So the Dodgers
Speaker 1: World Series parade. I was just reading this story. So
Speaker 1: if they won the World Series, they had a parade.
Speaker 2: Obviously it's what you do.
Speaker 1: And according to the La Times, the cost of the parade,
Speaker 1: and when I say cost, it includes like they have
Speaker 1: to pay for the police for the parade, which is
Speaker 1: very expensive, and then you know there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: other stuff. They also had to pay players to be there.
Speaker 2: How does dude, you've that and I don't.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm misreading that because it's worded a little weird.
Speaker 1: If you just won the World Series and you need
Speaker 1: an appearance fee, I don't want you on my team. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: you do that one for free. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: Ross and I literally work in an industry where appearance
Speaker 1: fees and all of these things are the norm. But
Speaker 1: if you just won the World Series. Go to your
Speaker 1: own damn parade, but it's it's Los Angeles thing.
Speaker 2: Do whatever they want.
Speaker 1: The cost of the parade equaled eighty percent of the
Speaker 1: Devil Ray's annual payroll. That's crazy, man, That is a
Speaker 1: crap ton of money. So I guess I saw two
Speaker 1: little stories. That was one of them, and I just thought,
Speaker 1: maybe you guys need that stat in your life. Also,
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise apparently has been awarded the highest civilian honor
Speaker 1: by the US military, the Distinguished Public Service Award, And yeah,
Speaker 1: he got it because he was yeah, for Top Gun
Speaker 1: and for Born on the fourth of July, and for
Speaker 1: a few good men. So that's what Navy, Marines obviously
Speaker 1: Office of the Navy, a few good men. That was
Speaker 1: Navy as well, to do Jack Reacher, I think that
Speaker 1: was Army. Yeah, I think that's army. And then of
Speaker 1: course you know Top Gun Maverick with the update there
Speaker 1: saying that he has increased public awareness and appreciation for
Speaker 1: the military. Well, some of those some of those movies
Speaker 1: he was in, don't Born on the fourth of July.
Speaker 1: Isn't a real positive message for the military, is it?
Speaker 1: And a few good men for that matter, I guess
Speaker 1: maybe you could say that it is in the end
Speaker 1: because you know they.
Speaker 2: Figured out the code red.
Speaker 1: Oh spoiler by the way, spoiler, Yeah, Jack Reacher is
Speaker 1: probably pretty uh and in top Gun. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this. He doesn't listen to commands. Remember
Speaker 1: we wanted to buzz that tower and they're like, no, no,
Speaker 1: you can't, and he's like, I'm gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 1: So that doesn't seem like good order or whatever. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: so they gave him that. I didn't realize this. So
Speaker 1: the new Mission Impossible Ross is filmed on one.
Speaker 2: Of our aircraft carriers. Did you know that?
Speaker 1: We were just talking about this yesterday. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that they were filming it.
Speaker 2: Literally, is it? Boy? It's gotta be Bush, isn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's that newer carrier we have.
Speaker 3: Man, we love those movies. They're so good. We recually
Speaker 3: watched like all of them. We just binged them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bought the whole on the Apple TV. Man,
Speaker 2: I got the whole package. Wheel there.
Speaker 3: We haven't watched the second one, but we watched all
Speaker 3: the other ones.
Speaker 2: Why would you not watch the second one?
Speaker 3: So we were looking for something to Binge and we're like,
Speaker 3: let's watch this, and we started out of order. I
Speaker 3: think we went like six first, then five, all over
Speaker 3: the place.
Speaker 2: They probably do find out of order.
Speaker 3: And we were like, well, let's watch the second one,
Speaker 3: and Mark he was like, no, his hair looks stupid.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, let me say this at risk of offending
Speaker 1: your wife. That's the most girl reason ever did not
Speaker 1: watch a movie.
Speaker 3: I mean, in the hair defense, he did look stupid.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean yes, but she didn't brought it to
Speaker 1: your attentions. Which one's your favor?
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, that's a good point. They're
Speaker 3: also good. Those movies never let you down.
Speaker 2: I really liked the one with the dude of No
Speaker 2: Country for Old Men and you liked what was it?
Speaker 3: The one with Philip symour Hoffman. It's great, but he's
Speaker 3: just fantastic. But seriously, all of them. I like the
Speaker 3: one where they're going through the Kremlin and they have
Speaker 3: like the the screen up so.
Speaker 1: You yeah, with who's the actor and the old old
Speaker 1: guy it was with was with my brain, so of
Speaker 1: the most famous actors in Hollywood, and I can't remember
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's really good, dud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're all great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when they got the and then Simon Pegg's got
Speaker 1: that like the invisibility screen, right, that's the one right
Speaker 1: where they're trying to sneak up on the guards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's good stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, they gave that to Tom Cruise And even though
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise is kind of a scientology lunatic, I'm cool
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 3: He actually climbed that building in Dubai with the one glove.
Speaker 3: That was like a real stunt.
Speaker 2: Well, he climbed the Billage.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it was just with one
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I remember watching the the there's a
Speaker 1: little thing as when you buy the movie they show
Speaker 1: the making of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did you ever see where he because
Speaker 2: he did that.
Speaker 1: Also, he did that stunt where he's hanging off the
Speaker 1: side of that like a transport plane when it's taken off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the motorcycle jump off of the in the Alps there,
Speaker 1: like he actually did that.
Speaker 3: And he just didn't do it once, did it like
Speaker 3: six times.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And there's a whole and I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: attached with all the purchases of it. There's like a
Speaker 1: one hour thing of just Tom Cruise doing these insane stunts.
Speaker 1: And what's crazy is when he's doing them, they the
Speaker 1: shot is then where the crew tent is right where
Speaker 1: they're you know, the directors sitting all the rest, and
Speaker 1: they're all like terrified except for Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2: He doesn't care, right, but everyone's there.
Speaker 1: Because they realize that if his shoot doesn't open, they're
Speaker 1: all out of a job, right and you know they
Speaker 1: used to that's why you have stunt men. But he's
Speaker 1: just like, no, I'm gonna jump a motorcycle off a
Speaker 1: cliff with a parachute with a window to open of
Speaker 1: ten seconds, I think is what they said in there,
Speaker 1: like something goes wrong, man, you just ain't fixing it.
Speaker 3: You remember when that audio leak during COVID where they
Speaker 3: were freaking out. They're like Tom Cruise is like a
Speaker 3: mask Nazi or something, because he was. He was on
Speaker 3: the set and he was like, you guys aren't following
Speaker 3: the rules. But he wasn't doing it because the sense
Speaker 3: I got from it was he wasn't doing it because
Speaker 3: he because he believed you needed the mask and the distancing.
Speaker 3: He did it because he wanted to make the movie
Speaker 3: and those were the stupid rules in place, so he
Speaker 3: was just following him to go along.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's saying, look, if we want to work because
Speaker 1: remember they were like it was a big deal because
Speaker 1: all that they were like one of the productions that
Speaker 1: actually went forward.
Speaker 3: Right, and they were doing scenes without the masks. On
Speaker 3: him now because he watched these movies that were made
Speaker 3: during that time and they're wearing the mask and they
Speaker 3: look so stupid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, can we just let me just
Speaker 1: say this because I see this in fact right now
Speaker 1: on the New York Post website I have opened on
Speaker 1: my browser. Here there's an ad for one of the
Speaker 1: community college or something up there. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what it is. Oh, it's an NBA program, and like
Speaker 1: they're all wearing masks in it.
Speaker 2: Can we stop? Can we purge all tape?
Speaker 1: And I understand some stuff is gonna have to be
Speaker 1: it's the reality there, But why do we still have
Speaker 1: photos of people wearing masks in advertisements and stuff?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 3: You still have that now coming out?
Speaker 2: And yeah, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: Get some new actors or photoshop and geez, tell AI
Speaker 1: to remove the mask.
Speaker 2: They're done.
Speaker 3: Like I said, you watch these movies that were filmed
Speaker 3: during the time, and they're all wearing the masks, and
Speaker 3: I guess you're supposed to look back at it now
Speaker 3: and be like, oh, I remember that, but it's so
Speaker 3: stupid you look at it.
Speaker 10: I do.
Speaker 2: I look at it and going this is right.
Speaker 3: I told the story like if I'm ever put in
Speaker 3: the position where I have, like, you know, a grandchild
Speaker 3: and I'm bouncing in my money and they're like, you know, Grandpa,
Speaker 3: tell me about the big plague of twenty twenty, I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna be like, it was the dumbest time to
Speaker 3: ever be alive.
Speaker 1: There's a movie what was the name of the movie.
Speaker 1: It's just one of the states of movies. I doesn't
Speaker 1: it wasn't one. It wasn't very popular, but whatever. It's
Speaker 1: like he's a bank robber and then they rob some
Speaker 1: like safetyposit boxes or something.
Speaker 2: But then there's another there's a batter guy in.
Speaker 1: That movie who's like because he was like secret Nazi
Speaker 1: or so I'm spoiling this, but whatever. There's like secret
Speaker 1: Nazi dude and he's like hey, but he also kills
Speaker 1: a bunch of people and he's like sitting in his
Speaker 1: office in a mask. The guy who has a plot
Speaker 1: to murder everybody is and I just remember bringing the
Speaker 1: movie off.
Speaker 2: Just like, I'm dud. I can't the guy you're literally
Speaker 2: he's the batty.
Speaker 1: He's the batty, and he's he wants to murder everybody
Speaker 1: and he's a secret Nazi or something. But he's wearing
Speaker 1: a mask around his employees.
Speaker 2: That's so nice of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just tapped out. I never finished that movie.
Speaker 1: That's why I don't know what it's called. Just like,
Speaker 1: I'm out, I can't do this, So yeah, we should.
Speaker 1: We need to purge this from existence. Although now we
Speaker 1: got Avian flu stuff going on, so all right, So
Speaker 1: the continuing resolution, where do I even start on this? Say,
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred pages give it almost no time to read it,
Speaker 1: but obviously people start to digest it, and every time
Speaker 1: they read a.
Speaker 2: New page they're like, why is this in here?
Speaker 1: And keep in mind that this was a bill that
Speaker 1: was put together by the Speaker Mike Johnson in negotiations
Speaker 1: with Democrats.
Speaker 2: Is the way that they phrase it here.
Speaker 1: And like even suggesting some of the stuff in here.
Speaker 1: The fact that Johnson doesn't go hell no is very problematic.
Speaker 1: So again, I understand the pay raises in there, and
Speaker 1: normally we would just have a you know, discussion about that.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put that to the side.
Speaker 1: You can be annoyed or not annoyed by that, because
Speaker 1: it's it's literally not even close to the worst thing
Speaker 1: in there. I mean, especially from an expenditure standpoint. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a was it five thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: month pay.
Speaker 2: Raise, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's a little better than the ones that ross and
Speaker 1: I didn't get that. Being said, it's it's a drop
Speaker 1: in the bucket. What's really dangerous in here is there
Speaker 1: is there's about twenty about twenty pages kind of in
Speaker 1: the middle of this thing that re rejiggers the whole
Speaker 1: law enforce I don't say law enforcement, but like penalty
Speaker 1: process for members of congres.
Speaker 2: We got a few things here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read Congressman Murphy's tweet too, because I'm not
Speaker 1: very pleased with that. But let me just let me
Speaker 1: just hitch you with a couple things. Now, remember this
Speaker 1: thing is fifteen hundred pages. Fifteen hundred pages, and you know, say, hey,
Speaker 1: go go skim it, and then we're going to vote
Speaker 1: on it. It's it's awful and frankly, none of this
Speaker 1: should be allowed in DC. You cannot vote same day
Speaker 1: or even twenty four hours after a fifteen hundred page
Speaker 1: bill or whatever the current remember they have that rule
Speaker 1: is still not long enough. And to really understand this
Speaker 1: stuff like this part on page six oh five. All right,
Speaker 1: so let's say you're a member of the House and
Speaker 1: you're a subject of an independent investigation. This is literally
Speaker 1: the language in this thing, and it's the subheading is
Speaker 1: motions to quash or modify, and it says, upon emotion
Speaker 1: made promptly by a house office or provider for a
Speaker 1: House office, a court of competent jurisdiction shall quash or
Speaker 1: modify any legal process directed to the provider for a
Speaker 1: house office if compliance with the legal process would require
Speaker 1: the disclosure of house data. All right, so they use
Speaker 1: a bunch of words, but basically, if you're a congressperson,
Speaker 1: congress hole will go with don't want a gender congress
Speaker 1: hole works. And you're a congress hole and they're investigating
Speaker 1: you if they in this case, a process could be
Speaker 1: a subpoena, right, so, and they want to subpoena your records.
Speaker 2: This literally precludes that.
Speaker 1: Why is that a thing? Why is that in there?
Speaker 1: What are you absolute bunch of criminals up to that
Speaker 1: you need a thing because if you're investigating me in
Speaker 1: your law enforcement whatever, right, because you're you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you investigate me for, but whatever
Speaker 1: it is, And you want a subpoena my phone records,
Speaker 1: like there's not a law like this is a catch
Speaker 1: all saying yeah, you can't do that.
Speaker 2: I don't have that protection. Why the hell should you?
Speaker 2: This was this is a thousand percent fortification.
Speaker 1: Once again, this is the same reason that in this
Speaker 1: in this, this is why people.
Speaker 2: Think it's, you know what a uniparty.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know this time of the year, people are
Speaker 1: going in they're uh seeing Santa or Santas.
Speaker 2: Helper or whatever however you describe it. And you know
Speaker 2: that's that's not uncommon.
Speaker 1: What is slightly uncommon, though, is this story which is
Speaker 1: out of Mexico.
Speaker 2: And you tip so when you you go see this,
Speaker 2: it's kind of it's you know what, it feels like.
Speaker 1: It feels like performers on like Times Square where they're
Speaker 1: shaking you down for photo money.
Speaker 2: This is kind of weird. So it's a city festival
Speaker 2: in Aguas Caliente's Mexico.
Speaker 1: I have no idea where that is, so I just
Speaker 1: know you have Santa and you have the Grinch right,
Speaker 1: all costumed up, ready to go, and apparently they decided
Speaker 1: they were going to throw down as you do in
Speaker 1: front of the kids. Obviously, and once I said so,
Speaker 1: the other story had this backwards, So now I'm more confused.
Speaker 1: So the way that it worked is people are going out,
Speaker 1: they're doing the Santa visit, they're doing the photos and whatnot,
Speaker 1: and they're collecting tips.
Speaker 2: And the Grinch.
Speaker 1: Got way more tips than Santa, Which, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Who's out there tipping the Grinch more than Santa? But
Speaker 1: they but they did, and then Santa was of the opinions.
Speaker 1: Another story had this backwards. So Santa said that they
Speaker 1: should pool tips, and the Grinch is like, hell no,
Speaker 1: I made more, and then the Grinch it looks like
Speaker 1: the Grinch then as he and Santa came face to
Speaker 1: face through the first punch, but then Santa did too,
Speaker 1: they arrested both of them. But the Grinch is clearly
Speaker 1: who they think is more at fault here. What do
Speaker 1: you tell your kids?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Right, you could go go see Santa and you show up,
Speaker 1: Santa's literally trading blows with the ground. I mean it
Speaker 1: actually tracks right like you could. You could be like, no,
Speaker 1: that's I remember, that's I remember what a jerk the
Speaker 1: Grinch was. That's just Santa defending his honor. Let's see
Speaker 1: both arrested for disturbing public orders, and then it looks
Speaker 1: like the Grinch got himself an additional charge there. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: so the story, they're just like, Ah, think of the kids.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you can explain that.
Speaker 2: That's easy.
Speaker 1: It'd be a lot crazier if he was fighting a
Speaker 1: bunch of tiny elves or something. That's gonna be a
Speaker 1: much that's gonna be a much heavier lift if you're
Speaker 1: a parent trying to make sense of that for your kid,
Speaker 1: said one father.
Speaker 2: They hold on, I gotta translate this.
Speaker 1: He basically said, Okay, So what he's basically saying is
Speaker 1: he said, is it could it be possible that we
Speaker 1: show up and they're not punching each other? That would
Speaker 1: make for a special season.
Speaker 2: Is kind of what is basically what he said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's you shouldn't have to say that
Speaker 1: out loud. Sir, all right, we'll tweet the video out
Speaker 1: for you because you know you want to watch that,
Speaker 1: all right. All right, So back to the Continuing Resolution.
Speaker 1: So not only is there protection in there, there's specific
Speaker 1: protection for you know, j six members members of Congress.
Speaker 1: Which what's even crazier too is while they're doing this,
Speaker 1: while they're making it less likely than a member of
Speaker 1: Congress's you know, details could get out there via subpoena,
Speaker 1: they also, for no reason I can understand, decided to
Speaker 1: release the Matt Gates report and announced they're going to
Speaker 1: be doing that. So and that's Republics who made that call.
Speaker 1: So they're they're big mad at Matt Gates. Like probably
Speaker 1: it's the part where Matt Gates is openly hostile to
Speaker 1: leadership there, but that's what some people like about him.
Speaker 1: There also is are you ready for this? You remember
Speaker 1: the remember this set the Office of Remember they want
Speaker 1: to set up essentially a censorship bureau and uh, everyone
Speaker 1: was balked at that. They're like, no, it's insane, you're
Speaker 1: not going to We're not going to do this. You remember
Speaker 1: it was that theater kid chick who was going to
Speaker 1: be in charge of it, who was looney Tunes in
Speaker 1: in everything that I've seen her say in the interview
Speaker 1: she did, that's in there still they literally it's it's
Speaker 1: literally in the continuing resolution. Even because it was funded,
Speaker 1: even if it wasn't enacted, they refunded it.
Speaker 2: This is the this is you can And I don't know.
Speaker 1: If this is because they were in a hurry or
Speaker 1: if they're stupid, or combination of both, but what a
Speaker 1: self inflicted wound. Yes, the bill for the House and
Speaker 1: Senate yesterday, which has now been withdrawn, I guess, would
Speaker 1: reauthorize the State Department's Global Engagement Center. So this is
Speaker 1: what this is the parent of the US Office. See,
Speaker 1: this is the censorship bureau that we haunt the rest
Speaker 1: of the world with, but also we filter through news
Speaker 1: reports from the US as it impacts the world, So
Speaker 1: it is censorship of US stuff.
Speaker 2: And this is the same.
Speaker 1: These are the same folks who joined that national cabal
Speaker 1: or the international cabal what do they called the Global
Speaker 1: Disinformation Index?
Speaker 2: So this, I mean, this is.
Speaker 1: These are these essentially like the EU people, and we're
Speaker 1: funding this, we're funding this garbage. So we're giving protection
Speaker 1: to members of Congress who may have violated the law
Speaker 1: not being able to access their stuff, and we're funding
Speaker 1: literally this thing that everyone got mad about and was
Speaker 1: outraged that they would even consider it.
Speaker 2: This is what Congress is doing.
Speaker 1: This is a Congress who has learned nothing, zero things
Speaker 1: from the elect I thought it was just the media
Speaker 1: who didn't learn anything from the election. It's clearly more
Speaker 1: than that. And there's there's just absurdity upon absurdity. And
Speaker 1: as bad as this sounds, I can deal with a
Speaker 1: little absurdity, right, you know, like we're refunding the study
Speaker 1: at wake Forest University where we give monkeys cocaine. Right,
Speaker 1: I can make fun of it on the air. I
Speaker 1: think it was one hundred and seventy five thousands what
Speaker 1: they paid for that, And it's it's it's not going
Speaker 1: to outrage people. What outrageous people is one stuff like that,
Speaker 1: funding things that we've clearly told you no to. But
Speaker 1: the most heinous, in my opinion, is providing legal protections
Speaker 1: that you or I can't avail ourselves of unless we're
Speaker 1: elected to Congress. That's that's what has people so mad.
Speaker 1: Just in case you needed somebody to explain it to you.
Speaker 1: And now I want all the members of Congress all
Speaker 1: of their record subpoena before they can get anything in here,
Speaker 1: all of it. I want to see what you're up to,
Speaker 1: and I want that list of you perverts who you
Speaker 1: know committed some.
Speaker 2: Sort of sexual lawsuit.
Speaker 1: Ready kind of thing. I want to know who you
Speaker 1: are and how much I've had to pay for your
Speaker 1: bad behavior. I'm just done with all of you. And
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't care. Mike Johnson doesn't need
Speaker 1: to be speaker.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I said of like you know, one of these these lunatics.
Speaker 1: He clearly this is not leadership. This is a failure
Speaker 1: of the highest order. And Greg Murphy telling people, Oh,
Speaker 1: you're just sitting on the sidelines chirping about it, while
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on the sidelines chirp and screw you.
Speaker 2: How's that.
Speaker 1: I've had him on the show, thought he was a
Speaker 1: nice enough guy.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm just done with all of you.
Speaker 2: All of you.
Speaker 1: If you can't figure, if you can't read the room,
Speaker 1: if you're that bad at it, I don't trust you
Speaker 1: to do to law make at all, because clearly you
Speaker 1: don't care. And I wish I saw the tweet from
Speaker 1: Ted Budd saying he wants the hurricane stuff in there.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a more aggressive tweet or statement
Speaker 1: for that matter. You need, they need to identify, especially
Speaker 1: this stuff, this motions to quash or modify precluding the
Speaker 1: ability to subpoena congressional records.
Speaker 2: I don't even is that even legal.
Speaker 1: I guess because it's a personal investigation, you don't get
Speaker 1: extra protections, none of you, especially since you know you
Speaker 1: set here and you were in Congress and you watched
Speaker 1: this J six stuff go down, and other than some
Speaker 1: strongly worded letters, tweets and maybe some interview statements, the
Speaker 1: fact is you still had people who did not commit
Speaker 1: violence against police. Okay, I want to be very clear here.
Speaker 1: You committed assault and you were sentenced properly, then you
Speaker 1: deserve to be there. We're talking about parading well, which
Speaker 1: is this charge that normally is a fifty dollars fine
Speaker 1: that you can pay on the spot. I'm not making
Speaker 1: that up. DC literally has this. You saw during the
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh hearings. It's why they handed these lunatics fifty dollars
Speaker 1: before they went in and disrupted it. And you have
Speaker 1: people doing five years for that, and you couldn't pull
Speaker 1: your crap together to try to do something about it.
Speaker 1: You're you're you're in incredibly unqualified to be doing what
Speaker 1: you're doing. And so yeah, I'm chirping from the sidelines.
Speaker 1: I just have the added benefit of having two flamethrower
Speaker 1: FM signals to go ahead and stick it in everybody's ears.
Speaker 1: What a discipline, what an absolute disappointment.
Speaker 2: So many of you are sorry.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of stuff I want to say, but
Speaker 1: I can't because then Ross would.
Speaker 2: Have to hit the dump button. So let me just
Speaker 2: go to weather with Ray staging a jeez.
Speaker 7: I hope I didn't let you down.
Speaker 2: You don't want to get on my bad side, not
Speaker 2: this one. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Did you did you go to Congress and then try
Speaker 1: to pass out law barring us from being able to
Speaker 1: subpoena your records if you're under criminal investigation?
Speaker 2: Did you do that?
Speaker 7: You didn't? I did not. I did not do that,
Speaker 7: because that were good.
Speaker 1: Like it sounds like two sets of justice, you know,
Speaker 1: for us and for them, and I I'm just done
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 7: But well, at least that that makes me feel better
Speaker 7: because now I know I'm good. I'm good with KC.
Speaker 7: And that's all night out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, unless you pull some of this crap, and.
Speaker 8: No, I don't have any no intentions at all, no intentions.
Speaker 8: Probably not going to deliver great news in the short
Speaker 8: term because it's going to get colder for the weekend,
Speaker 8: but longer term getting a little bit milder and right
Speaker 8: now near seasonable temperatures for Christmas Day.
Speaker 7: We're down a little bit today, most of.
Speaker 8: Us upper forties, low fifties, a lot of clouds around,
Speaker 8: and tonight and tomorrow we may see some drizzle and
Speaker 8: blow cloud and fog and a few showers, but not
Speaker 8: much rain. That's the next front coming in. We'll be
Speaker 8: in the upper forties to low fifties again tomorrow, and
Speaker 8: then as we get into Saturday and Sunday, the colder
Speaker 8: eras start coming in. Saturday morning upper twenties to low thirties,
Speaker 8: mid upper forties in the afternoon with the gusty breeze.
Speaker 8: And then Sunday a little bit colder in the morning,
Speaker 8: some upper teens to load a mid twenties, and then
Speaker 8: sunny and close to forty in the afternoon. Same thing
Speaker 8: for Monday with sunshine close to forty, and we're back
Speaker 8: into the mid fifties loa to mid fifties by Christmas,
Speaker 8: even Christmas Day, so local shot coming in, no big
Speaker 8: weather systems case you to worry about. Looks good Tomorrow
Speaker 8: night in South Bend, cloudy cold, about twenty eight at
Speaker 8: kickoff for flurries. Noon game and Happy Valley, Penn State,
Speaker 8: it's gonna be cold and breezy, but just some flurry
Speaker 8: snow showers only in the mid number twenties around twenty
Speaker 8: five at kickoff of the gusty breeze, so gonna be
Speaker 8: cold there the wind may be a factor. And then
Speaker 8: up in Columbus it's gonna be chilly Saturday night. Likely
Speaker 8: not gonna have much impact except for the cold at
Speaker 8: least from the weather. No real heavy snow or anything
Speaker 8: like that. Maybe a few flurries and that's about it.
Speaker 2: What we Why do we do bowls in snow country?
Speaker 2: Isn't that the whole point of bowls?
Speaker 7: And I think it's great? Yeah, I think it's great.
Speaker 7: And the Super Bowl should be outside every year in
Speaker 7: any market.
Speaker 2: Really, so you want to lambo this year?
Speaker 8: And sure, okay, yep, that's where football was made to
Speaker 8: be played outdoors and on natural grass.
Speaker 2: That's me first, go back to the very first Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: right I could?
Speaker 1: All right, man, I appreciate it. We're talking in ever,
Speaker 1: all right, all right? So wait, hold on, some scumbag
Speaker 1: just emailed me, sir, what member of Congress do you
Speaker 1: work for?
Speaker 2: What? You're mischaracterizing? What it is? No, I'm not. You
Speaker 2: want to literally you know why?
Speaker 1: You know how I know I'm not because if you
Speaker 1: read a bill, I don't know if you guys know this,
Speaker 1: or a legal document for that matter, which a bill
Speaker 1: technically is, if you read it, they have a there's
Speaker 1: a definitions of things. So if you're ever reading the
Speaker 1: legal ease in a particular passage and you want to
Speaker 1: know what things like third party provider, what are some
Speaker 1: other words in this thing third party provider is? Or
Speaker 1: you want to know what house data is, there's definitions
Speaker 1: in there. In fact, you know what, I feel it
Speaker 1: would be useful to share some of those in light
Speaker 1: of your stupid email, sir. Okay, so we'll go further
Speaker 1: down this rabbit hole you've convinced me, and we'll do
Speaker 1: it next.
Speaker 2: Hang on, are we doing this? We're gonna do this?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Guess we're doing this here? Phil, what's going on, how
Speaker 1: you doing, sir?
Speaker 2: Hello Phil right? Oh hey, hey there you are.
Speaker 5: Kseyah, I don't know. I'm a I'm a truck driver
Speaker 5: and I was heading down sixty four West and as
Speaker 5: I was near in the Apex Chatham County line over
Speaker 5: Lake Jordan. Man, this thing was definitely not an airplane
Speaker 5: because it was it was changing altitude just like straight up,
Speaker 5: straight down.
Speaker 1: Just for the listeners real quick, you're referring to it.
Speaker 1: You saw what you think is a drone, just so
Speaker 1: people know what we're talking about.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it definitely it definitely wasn't an airplane. I mean
Speaker 5: because of the way it was changing altitude. It was
Speaker 5: just like up down. I could see the green navigation light.
Speaker 5: It was going across sixty four West and which hated
Speaker 5: like towards Sharon Harris Nuclear plant. So I mean, I
Speaker 5: didn't see a fleet. It was just a single.
Speaker 2: Before and then just Sharon Harris.
Speaker 5: So I don't really know exactly. I mean, it was
Speaker 5: like I said, it was just a single. I'm just
Speaker 5: going to say it was a drone because it's it
Speaker 5: sure wasn't an airplane, and it was. It was. It
Speaker 5: was pretty damn big.
Speaker 2: What time what's that happened? What time did this happen?
Speaker 5: It was about seven between seven ten, seven fifteen something
Speaker 5: like that. Yeah, that's and I was curious if any
Speaker 5: of the listeners I was I was curious if any
Speaker 5: of the listeners that were in that area at that
Speaker 5: time saw saw it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have your truck driveread you have a
Speaker 1: dash dam or anything, because you see that. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw the video of the plane crash
Speaker 1: down in Mexico the other day, but like it's a
Speaker 1: truck or with that.
Speaker 5: I actually, I actually do have a dash cam on here.
Speaker 1: Dig through that and if if you got any video
Speaker 1: of it, feel free to pass it along. Did did
Speaker 1: did it say anything to you an Iranian? No, it's
Speaker 1: probably not iranium. Other I appreciate the culture. I gotta
Speaker 1: get one more quick call here, Zach, go right ahead.
Speaker 2: All right, Hey, good morning, Kasey.
Speaker 11: How you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm good, sir.
Speaker 9: Hey, Yeah, I just.
Speaker 5: Wanted to confirm.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I saw, I saw Actually I saw three of them.
Speaker 9: I saw them playing today. They were right on ninety
Speaker 9: sixth and Bruce Corner Road, right out there around between
Speaker 9: about six o'clock about thirty six o'clock. I mean I
Speaker 9: even got out of my car and looked at him.
Speaker 9: They were firing three four hundred foot above the ground
Speaker 9: and just making a grid pattern.
Speaker 2: Yeah, rule, North Carolina is not New Jersey.
Speaker 1: So if if somebody is out there, even if you know,
Speaker 1: even if they're just out there to screw.
Speaker 2: Around with people, So one of these drolls is gonna
Speaker 2: get shot.
Speaker 1: Uh it is Thursday, so it's talk about Hollywood say
Speaker 1: mean things, and uh Stephen Ken joins us to do that.
Speaker 2: How you doing this morning, Stephen? What's up?
Speaker 5: Bet hey seed?
Speaker 10: All right, how are we doing?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, let's see we're one hour. We're four hours away
Speaker 1: from a vacation.
Speaker 2: So I mean that's amazing. Yeah, I want that for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you trust me, you or I don't want
Speaker 1: it as much as Ross.
Speaker 2: He's got like a vacation at that calendar in there.
Speaker 2: So did he have him chained in a basement? Don't
Speaker 2: you please?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? He's running around with a Captain
Speaker 1: America's shield. I can't contain him. Did he tell you
Speaker 1: about his Captain America's shild Ross? Did you tell Steven
Speaker 1: you got a Captain America's shield. I figured that would
Speaker 1: be like your currency.
Speaker 10: So like you guys know, but I mean, I'll follow
Speaker 10: him wherever he goes as long as he's carrying it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's probably a good place to be, all right,
Speaker 1: So we'll.
Speaker 5: Go into the capitol.
Speaker 10: That's my only request.
Speaker 1: What but that's where the free lecterns are. So and
Speaker 1: you know what, frankly, after the crap they tried to
Speaker 1: pull with the cr yesterday. Uh, I'm not gonna do it,
Speaker 1: but if somebody did steal their electorn, it wouldn't make
Speaker 1: me sad honestly that Like, I know, we don't really
Speaker 1: do a lot of politics, but like, do they learn
Speaker 1: You live close to these people, so maybe you go
Speaker 1: do a welfare check?
Speaker 2: Did there?
Speaker 1: How many people learned nothing from the last election? And
Speaker 1: I'm talking like media that's doubling down and other you know,
Speaker 1: some of these quote unquote deep state people. And it's
Speaker 1: like and then of course like Congress yesterday where they're
Speaker 1: just like yeah, you know what, Uh yeah, we'll go
Speaker 1: ahead and fund sent the the International Censorship Bureau, which
Speaker 1: is what I kind of call it, that's in there,
Speaker 1: and we'll also provide protection so nobody can subpoena our
Speaker 1: house data, which by the way, includes things like metadata
Speaker 1: which these scumbags were willing to capture on every American
Speaker 1: under the Obama administration.
Speaker 2: So like, like, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, you need to you need to drive over to
Speaker 1: DC proper and smack some people around.
Speaker 2: Can you do that for us?
Speaker 10: No, I will certainly consider it. I mean, this is
Speaker 10: this is a mess. I think Elon Musk's tweet just
Speaker 10: yesterday afternoon where he said vox populi vox with PA, Well,
Speaker 10: you know there's a million, but vox popular. I mean,
Speaker 10: the people have spoken, and the American people clearly want
Speaker 10: a certain kind of Washington and some radical change, and
Speaker 10: they are just going to do everything they can to
Speaker 10: maintain the status quo.
Speaker 5: In their defense.
Speaker 10: However, you know, new people have not even been sworn
Speaker 10: into office yet, Like right now, the Democrats still have
Speaker 10: the White House and the Senate up until next year,
Speaker 10: you know, so we're not even there yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that yet.
Speaker 1: But like it's I don't care if you're whose team
Speaker 1: you're on, like to provide an out so you don't
Speaker 1: have to. You can't be subpoenat is not something that
Speaker 1: you or I enjoyed, right, that's not right that we enjoy.
Speaker 1: If they're investigating stuff, the government will come and they'll
Speaker 1: be in all your crap.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you're the former president. They'll do that.
Speaker 10: So it makes me angry too.
Speaker 1: And then you try to escape into well escapism and uh,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you served up? You're served
Speaker 1: up some really bad Christmas movies this year? How come
Speaker 1: they can't get a good crew? When was the last
Speaker 1: good Christmas movie? What was what was the last one?
Speaker 2: Do you think? I don't know?
Speaker 10: The Lord of the Ring, the Scholarship of the Ring.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're not doing this.
Speaker 1: And if you say die hard, I'm hanging up on you.
Speaker 10: But no, never, I've never thought that was funny personally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's it wasn't funny the first time nor
Speaker 1: the ten thousandth time, but they they.
Speaker 2: Did dump a bunch of money.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 1: The Red One, I guess is the rock Ross was
Speaker 1: giving me the rundown. I haven't seen it yet, but
Speaker 1: he's like yeah. And then the what was a ross?
Speaker 1: What is the name of the Jack Black one?
Speaker 3: You know, dude, is so bad. It's called Dear Santa,
Speaker 3: Dear Sanny.
Speaker 2: Apparently it's just the dumpster fire of dumpster fires. So
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 10: Get what about Hot Frosty.
Speaker 5: Hot Frosty is.
Speaker 10: Apparently making making ways on Netflix?
Speaker 2: What is that? I don't know this It sounds like
Speaker 2: an adult movie.
Speaker 10: First of all, Well, yeah, you know, Frosty the snowman
Speaker 10: becomes a man, and then every woman in town wants to,
Speaker 10: you know, be with him in certain ways.
Speaker 5: And apparently.
Speaker 2: How big of a carrot for a nose does he have?
Speaker 10: Oh that's a great question.
Speaker 5: It's probably pretty big.
Speaker 2: So you know.
Speaker 3: Netflix, So fantasy is this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm literally just going to say that.
Speaker 1: I did you remember the story of the dude who
Speaker 1: went into the target and molested the Oloft dolls? Like,
Speaker 1: that's who that movie's made for. Did you did you
Speaker 1: ever see that story last year?
Speaker 2: So weird from my memory?
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, So there's Luta. It goes to a target.
Speaker 1: It's around Christmas time and he goes First, he walks
Speaker 1: back to the toy aisle and makes love to a
Speaker 1: I can't remember what what the toy was there, but
Speaker 1: then he walks to the front of the store after
Speaker 1: he gets done hooking up with that toy in the
Speaker 1: toy all and then immediately cheats on it where he
Speaker 1: removes an ole off from like one of those big
Speaker 1: n cap bins, you know, there's just a bin of
Speaker 1: Oloft dolls, and then proceeds in front of everyone to
Speaker 1: make love to that thing, and then he puts it
Speaker 1: back in there. So now you can't even figure out
Speaker 1: which is the ole off he violated. So they had
Speaker 1: to get rid of all the olofs. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's who that movie's for.
Speaker 2: That one dude, you gotta burn burn them all.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's let's talk about a couple of
Speaker 1: movie things and and people quote unquote learning. So for
Speaker 1: those who don't know, I didn't mention it earlier in
Speaker 1: the show, though there was a uh, there was an
Speaker 1: animated series.
Speaker 2: It's a Pixar series. It's a Disney things from their
Speaker 2: Animal studios.
Speaker 1: The series called Win or Lose, And basically the storyline
Speaker 1: is that's a middle school softball team, big championship game.
Speaker 1: One of the players is a biological male who identifies
Speaker 1: as a female's playing on the team. So I mean,
Speaker 1: just super red meat about topics that are hugely divisive
Speaker 1: obviously in the news cycle, so Disney thought they'd shoehorn
Speaker 1: one into the series. Now they've removed that from which
Speaker 1: is which is pretty crazy because the thing premieres in
Speaker 1: like two months.
Speaker 2: They've removed that. Is that Disney listening to people.
Speaker 1: And going this is just going to be another money pit,
Speaker 1: We're gonna murder money on or what's going on here?
Speaker 1: Because I've often asked, will Disney learn any lessons?
Speaker 2: So what do you think is going on here?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Well, I think I said it a couple of weeks
Speaker 10: ago on this show that I really still believe that
Speaker 10: Disney is going to write their ship and I hope
Speaker 10: this isn't too boring of a take, but yeah, they
Speaker 10: they are actually listening and they are trying to turn
Speaker 10: this in a different direction. I do find it puzzling, though,
Speaker 10: from a kind of a pr decision making perspective. Why
Speaker 10: we know about it? You know, normally, when a character
Speaker 10: or a plot line or something that's edited and dropped
Speaker 10: on the cutting room floor for any movie or television show,
Speaker 10: you you never hear about it. You never hear about
Speaker 10: it at all because we only talk about finished products.
Speaker 10: But I have a theory, Yeah, I mean, I certainly
Speaker 10: would think that they were concerned that the young man
Speaker 10: in the story that they cut was going to tell
Speaker 10: everybody about it and create social media content and then
Speaker 10: they would have to do a reactive press release, and
Speaker 10: so they got out ahead of it.
Speaker 9: And that's my take because here's about one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: The only thing I would add to that is not
Speaker 1: just the actor or the voice actor in this case, but.
Speaker 2: The woke employees over Disney, right who see this.
Speaker 1: They know what's going on, and because like like nowadays,
Speaker 1: if you're woke, you can literally go and remember those
Speaker 1: idiots at Google decided to the employees decided we're going
Speaker 1: to take over offices and have sit ins and stuff.
Speaker 2: Who got fired? Right, People still think they'll have that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, So I think there's enough woke people over
Speaker 1: there at Disney that, coupled with what you said, they
Speaker 1: wanted to get ahead of this, because I'm sure they're
Speaker 1: matt as hell over there, some of the more activist
Speaker 1: ones I do. I do have to tell you this though,
Speaker 1: kind of transitioning over to the video game front, I
Speaker 1: didn't watch the whole thing, the Video Game Awards thing,
Speaker 1: because I just I would never do that, but I
Speaker 1: saw a pretty good, distilled down version of the games,
Speaker 1: and you know, so, you know, here's some of the
Speaker 1: stuff that they announced, and I'm curious to pick your
Speaker 1: brain on that.
Speaker 2: But like the speeches from people and some of the awards,
Speaker 2: Like there was a there's a game where you plant
Speaker 2: trees to fight climate change. How's that a video?
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's a very popular one too, I
Speaker 1: guess because it was up for awards. And yet every
Speaker 1: speech is one woke garbage lecture after another. Is the
Speaker 1: video game industry?
Speaker 2: I know, I sound like.
Speaker 1: End of the End is ny guy, But like, if
Speaker 1: I just watched that and I knew nothing about the industry,
Speaker 1: I would just assume it's all lunatics.
Speaker 2: And that's not fair because there still are good games
Speaker 2: getting produced, but they're sure as hell not getting recognition
Speaker 2: judging from what I saw there.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean the speeches in the Video Game Awards
Speaker 10: from just a couple of days ago. They're a representation
Speaker 10: of the same entertainment industry that has captured most of
Speaker 10: the music business and mainstream Hollywood. These are the same people.
Speaker 10: A lot of the speeches that were the most cringey
Speaker 10: and woke and we're actually coming from like middle aged people,
Speaker 10: sort of the higher ups in these game companies. I
Speaker 10: didn't see many young people, you know, up there on
Speaker 10: stage and actually talking about their games or whatever.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 10: It was a lot of older people. And it's just
Speaker 10: a reminder to me that most of this movement, all
Speaker 10: of this woke stuff, is coming from the HR department
Speaker 10: of fifty year old forty five year old men and women,
Speaker 10: primarily women, to be clear. And that connects right back
Speaker 10: to the story at the Daily Wire about this trans
Speaker 10: storyline being cut out of Win or Lose. You know,
Speaker 10: the mom in this story was giving most of the
Speaker 10: comments to the press and talking about how she wanted
Speaker 10: her son turned daughter to be this kind of history
Speaker 10: making figure. It's about this older generation.
Speaker 2: That's how it's Hollywood parent, which most of them are
Speaker 2: usually insane.
Speaker 1: So wait, do you see they also did the oh
Speaker 1: the Witcher. That's what I was gonna ask you about
Speaker 1: the Witcher thing, Like, here's another unforced are let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and purge the character that people love and we
Speaker 1: can talk about the TV show side of it too,
Speaker 1: because they basically accomplished that.
Speaker 2: What was the beef with him?
Speaker 1: The director of the TV show on Netflix didn't like
Speaker 1: him because he knew the source material and.
Speaker 2: Would keep correcting her.
Speaker 1: And now on the video game side, they're like, well,
Speaker 1: why don't we just get rid of him and we'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and we'll focus on this female character, who
Speaker 1: is a good character. I really enjoyed the first couple
Speaker 1: of seasons of The Witcher, and so I got no
Speaker 1: beef there, but like to helm the video game to
Speaker 1: tell the fans, you're getting rid of the main character.
Speaker 1: We saw this with the Last of Us, right, didn't
Speaker 1: they didn't they purge their main character and the update
Speaker 1: This isn't a recipe for success, right.
Speaker 10: Just men are dropping like flies and these stuff. I mean,
Speaker 10: this is this has to do a serie the Witch
Speaker 10: right in the Witcher game where elevating Sery to the
Speaker 10: main role. Now, yeah, you know, I really would like
Speaker 10: to see the demographic numbers within these gaming companies on
Speaker 10: who they think their audience is. And you know, it
Speaker 10: definitely was always the case that young men were the
Speaker 10: audience for video games, and so you primarily needed to
Speaker 10: make an appeal to them. That sort of reminds me
Speaker 10: about the Star Wars Outlaws video game. A really really
Speaker 10: big game debut for an open world Star Wars game,
Speaker 10: and they sort of harangue you into playing a pretty
Speaker 10: straight laced female character, which isn't isn't you know? Criminal?
Speaker 10: There's nothing really wrong with that, but it's part of
Speaker 10: a bigger trend that this is in most games now
Speaker 10: where you have to play as these female characters. And
Speaker 10: I just I've met a couple of young guys in
Speaker 10: my life.
Speaker 1: They don't tend to like it as much, I don't think,
Speaker 1: but then they don't like being forced into it when
Speaker 1: there is existing material, like if you develop the game
Speaker 1: where it's a female I have a couple of games
Speaker 1: that are are there's female character, but they're unique games, right,
Speaker 1: and nobody pays any mind to that.
Speaker 2: That's what's crazy about this. People are fine with that.
Speaker 1: It's the part where you destroy the storyline of how
Speaker 1: you got there with and you know, characters can die
Speaker 1: in a storyline, right, We've seen it in Star Wars
Speaker 1: obviously here as of late. But you have to do
Speaker 1: that carefully when you do it in this unceremonial way,
Speaker 1: and you're just and you tell people you're doing it
Speaker 1: for woke reasons that people people aren't gonna they're they're
Speaker 1: sick of it.
Speaker 2: And then you have to run. Did you see the thing.
Speaker 1: Where the guys like a recruiter they were paying They
Speaker 1: were paying some sort of tribute to this guy who
Speaker 1: is a recruiter for people who work in the game industry,
Speaker 1: and they were because they were mad that they were
Speaker 1: not bemoaning all the layoffs and everything.
Speaker 2: And I'm like you, you absolute tools.
Speaker 1: Are complaining about the layoffs and you're literally unveiling games that.
Speaker 2: Will likely lead the layoffs. It's just maddening to watch them.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, most of this industry is engaged in
Speaker 10: the act of self emilation. That's what the ideology of
Speaker 10: the far left requires. They are trying to tear down
Speaker 10: all these institutions and businesses from within and make everybody
Speaker 10: applaud them while they do it, and don't we don't
Speaker 10: have to go along with it. And I do think
Speaker 10: that the highest rungs of these businesses there's going to
Speaker 10: be a major worm turn. And Disney is certainly starting
Speaker 10: to catch on.
Speaker 1: All right, And I had like nine other things I
Speaker 1: want to get with you, but I'm just all over
Speaker 1: the place this morning. So I apologize you're not going
Speaker 1: to get to the drinking story, but maybe I'll say
Speaker 1: that for next No, not next week. Man, we won't
Speaker 1: see you until the new year. Brother, it was that
Speaker 1: January sixth, eight ninth.
Speaker 10: We'll all be we'll all be renewed and filled with
Speaker 10: a bright spirit of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: We're all going to get murdered by drones. Man.
Speaker 1: There's people seeing them around Raleigh right now. So all right,
Speaker 1: let you know how that goes. Smack some congress holes
Speaker 1: for me, and we'll talk in the new year. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plan all right, thank you, sir. Put that
Speaker 1: on hold there, all right, eight twenty three CaCO Day
Speaker 1: Radio program. Hang on, I'm going to talk about the Yellowstone,
Speaker 1: the show and the series finale, okay, and you there
Speaker 1: will be spoilers here.
Speaker 2: I didn't I intentionally.
Speaker 1: Didn't do it yesterday because I wanted to leave a
Speaker 1: little buffer for people. But it can't go unaddressed now,
Speaker 1: believe it or not. I never really watched Yellowstone. I
Speaker 1: watched a couple episodes and it's it's weird because it's
Speaker 1: like I like Kevin Costner. It's definitely in the wheelhouse.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 1: I like I even know the property with a film it.
Speaker 1: I've literally been there because it's it's it's also it's
Speaker 1: a guest range too, and then they do a lot
Speaker 1: of Hollywood shoots there and I went to a shooting
Speaker 1: event there when I was a kid, actually, But anyway
Speaker 1: back to this, so I never really got into it,
Speaker 1: and I, like my friends would be surprised, and I
Speaker 1: think for me what it was is like when you're
Speaker 1: really familiar with something and then they take Hollywood license.
Speaker 1: The stuff irritates me. And so I didn't know if
Speaker 1: I But that's fine. If you like the show, good
Speaker 1: for you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you like
Speaker 1: the ending?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: And for those of you who I know nothing about
Speaker 1: this show, it's Kevin Costner. It's a ranch family from
Speaker 1: Montana and your big sky.
Speaker 2: The Dunton.
Speaker 1: But it was a very well received show, and I
Speaker 1: can identify a lot with that.
Speaker 2: I come from a.
Speaker 1: Family who also homesteaded a ranch in that general part
Speaker 1: of the country and dealt with a lot of the
Speaker 1: same things that they then dealt with on the show.
Speaker 1: And so with that in mind, the way that they
Speaker 1: chose to end this show and here here's the spoiler,
Speaker 1: because remember this, one of the things about this show was.
Speaker 2: That it attracted.
Speaker 1: A decidedly conservative group of viewers, and it's because you
Speaker 1: had the family value stuff.
Speaker 2: You didn't have.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a bunch of baristas with purple hair and
Speaker 1: septum piercnes and big ideas running around in every episode,
Speaker 1: although you did have a component of that which that
Speaker 1: was handled on there where you had family members who
Speaker 1: clearly were rejecting kind of the ranch side of it,
Speaker 1: and they were woke environmentalist kind of stuff. So you
Speaker 1: had an element of that because that's an element that
Speaker 1: exists in real life, but they didn't cater to it.
Speaker 1: So the way you chose to be done with the
Speaker 1: show was one of the one of the family members
Speaker 1: decides to essentially give the ranch back, not exactly give it,
Speaker 1: but sell it for a dollar twenty five an acre.
Speaker 1: And the reasoning was is that the time the Duttons
Speaker 1: came out and they acquired the ranch, the property of
Speaker 1: the property that they purchased, they actually purchased it from
Speaker 1: somebody and they paid a dollar twenty five an acre.
Speaker 1: So that land had been obviously used to be part
Speaker 1: of the range of one.
Speaker 2: Of the tribes up there in Montana.
Speaker 1: And so there's this really hokey ending where he just
Speaker 1: gives the ranch away essentially to the chief of one
Speaker 1: of the tribes there. It says, this was your land
Speaker 1: before it was taken. My family paid a dollar twenty five.
Speaker 1: So if you pay me a dollar twenty five an acre,
Speaker 1: I will sell it back to you. He just gives
Speaker 1: it away. And this is it's part of a much
Speaker 1: larger argument that you don't hear it as much in
Speaker 1: North Carolina, but out west this has been going on
Speaker 1: since I was a kid. There there are positions and
Speaker 1: activists out there who essentially.
Speaker 2: Wan I think Wyomi.
Speaker 1: They were proposing like thirty percent of the property that's
Speaker 1: owned by the state of Wyoming. They just wanted to
Speaker 1: give back to the there's five tribes there and like
Speaker 1: that's been going and so that's how they chose to
Speaker 1: They chose to end it in the dumbest, wokest way possible.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're right, and just plays into it. By
Speaker 1: the way I would point out, because it's not really
Speaker 1: addressed here.
Speaker 2: But I happen to know this.
Speaker 1: Do you know the tribe that is that has the
Speaker 1: reservation that's closest over to Big Sky is not the
Speaker 1: tribe who lived there for most of it. So you
Speaker 1: had you had Sue Shoshone Crow Okay, and the Crow
Speaker 1: are Sue kind of but not really. And then there's
Speaker 1: another one that we call the sheep Eaters that are
Speaker 1: north the yellst On there and I can't remember the
Speaker 1: actual name because it's hard to pronounce. Only one of
Speaker 1: those tribes was that really their range at the time
Speaker 1: that that part of the country was settled. That's why
Speaker 1: if you go if you go up to Harden, Montana
Speaker 1: Custom's last stand, you have the Crow reservation, but then
Speaker 1: you have literally next to it another reservation. The Crow
Speaker 1: purge the Shoshone there, and they purged the Ossibon I
Speaker 1: think it was the other tribe's name.
Speaker 2: They purged him out of there.
Speaker 1: So literally it changed hands prior to white settlement and
Speaker 1: during the course of white settlement within the tribes. So
Speaker 1: he didn't even give it feasibly, if they stick to
Speaker 1: the storyline, they didn't even give it back to the
Speaker 1: right tribe. It's lunacy and the property value of that
Speaker 1: is astronomical ranch near Big Sky.
Speaker 2: You know what do you know what a lot, a house,
Speaker 2: a lot in Big Sky goes for.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's, it's it's the new Jackson, Okay, And
Speaker 1: so to go ahead and do all that this. So
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, if you're a fan of this show,
Speaker 1: how'd you like that? I'm glad I didn't invest emotional
Speaker 1: energy in it.
Speaker 2: Ross. You never watched Yellowstone, right, I don't remember you
Speaker 2: ever talking about No.
Speaker 1: Never, Yeah, but but you read that yesterday. It's just like,
Speaker 1: what are we? What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: And it's like these are the last There's very few
Speaker 1: shows out there that you know, come up in conservative
Speaker 1: circles on the regular, and that was one of them.
Speaker 2: That was one of them. Jack reads here.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think whenever I yeah, where they
Speaker 1: they've not injected woke storylines, and then they choose to
Speaker 1: end the show on a woke storyline.
Speaker 2: So sorry about that. All right, let me let me
Speaker 2: hit just a couple of things.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna warn you there's not a spoiler here, but
Speaker 1: I'm not able to read this story without shifting in
Speaker 1: my chair. Guys, just I'm just warning you and ladies,
Speaker 1: if you're near, if you're if you're near your guy,
Speaker 1: watch him when I read this story, because I think
Speaker 1: you'll have a physical reaction. All right, So here's a
Speaker 1: new horrible thing I didn't know was the thing. In fact,
Speaker 1: let me read the name of this thing first, um,
Speaker 1: with the medical name of this uh, ossification of what
Speaker 1: we'll say, ossification of the sports car. And if you've
Speaker 1: listened to the show for a little while, you know
Speaker 1: that sports car is the code word we use for
Speaker 1: a particular part of the anatomy that men have. All right,
Speaker 1: don't ask how we got there. I'm not gonna explain it.
Speaker 1: So any who, Apparently that's a condition which causes the
Speaker 1: sports car to literally turn the stone, which I mean
Speaker 1: at firstly yeah right, but no, no, it sounds horrible
Speaker 1: basically it it, and I'm not I'm reading from the
Speaker 1: article here. When this affliction afflicts a dude, it results
Speaker 1: in an extensive plaque like calcification, forming an extra skeletal
Speaker 1: structure that is essentially bone encapsulating the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: dude went to the doctor, as you should do, but
Speaker 1: was crazy. He went there after it had all turned
Speaker 1: to stone, I could say, like a fairy tale thing.
Speaker 1: So's he goes there after, because that's just that's one
Speaker 1: hundred percent a guy, right, because this doesn't just this
Speaker 1: isn't onset overnight.
Speaker 2: This thing was.
Speaker 1: It took a while, and this guy didn't go to
Speaker 1: the doctor until it had literally turned a stone. Now,
Speaker 1: how do they treat it? They shockwave therapy, They elect
Speaker 1: they use audio waves and electric current to go ahead,
Speaker 1: and I guess break.
Speaker 2: The stone or something.
Speaker 1: And what's crazy is in the in the article they
Speaker 1: say that after doctors diagnosed and explained the treatment to him,
Speaker 1: the man declined further examination and left. He's he's just like,
Speaker 1: all right, this is me now, because you're not you're
Speaker 1: because you're you're sitting there and you have this this
Speaker 1: thing which i'm I'm And then your doctor's like, all right,
Speaker 1: so what we're gonna do is we're gonna hook some
Speaker 1: jumper cables up to it and uh, you know, uh
Speaker 1: a blast, uh you know, blast some audio waves that'll
Speaker 1: fix it. And this guy's like, no, I just think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go home, and I just mine is made
Speaker 1: of stone now, and I don't even know how that
Speaker 1: impacts the ability to use it.
Speaker 2: Uh. For you know, all the variety of uses but
Speaker 2: holy hell, I could.
Speaker 1: Have gone the rest of my life not knowing that
Speaker 1: this was a thing that could happen some I guess
Speaker 1: some of it has to do with metabolic disorders, so which, uh,
Speaker 1: you know that those are pretty common nowadays, dude to
Speaker 1: the obesity rate and everything. So who knows, maybe one
Speaker 1: day just and now it's stone. So all right, let's
Speaker 1: get rased agic who likes Did you did you catch
Speaker 1: the story?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Caught the whole thing.
Speaker 8: I I tuned in early and caught the whole thing.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 2: That's what you get for showing up early. Man.
Speaker 1: I like, did you need to know that that's something
Speaker 1: you have to worry about now?
Speaker 7: I thought they had a pill for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But but then I'm like, I'm right, this is a
Speaker 1: horrible disease. And then they're like, we're going to shock
Speaker 1: it and sound wave it and no wonder the guy left,
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm fine, I'll be fine.
Speaker 8: I only have one question that if somebody has experience
Speaker 8: and has done the treatment, does it actually work?
Speaker 7: That's what I need to know.
Speaker 1: It's yes, it does work. It says forty patients per
Speaker 1: year treated of this condition in the US.
Speaker 7: So and the percentage that are successful.
Speaker 1: It says it's it's a it's it refers to the
Speaker 1: treatment as a successful uh treatment. And along with they
Speaker 1: also there's hormone therapy for gotcha and some other stuff
Speaker 1: that goes with Yeah, i'd I'd be hung up on
Speaker 1: the jumper cable part.
Speaker 2: I'm out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you'd probably get me at that.
Speaker 1: Like if you told when they when they went into
Speaker 1: a Sods prison in Syria where they found literally like
Speaker 1: a human grape press the other day, Like, if you'd
Speaker 1: have told me they were doing this to the prisoners,
Speaker 1: I might not believe you. I mean, there's no way
Speaker 1: like this sounds like pure torture night air fuel man,
Speaker 1: it does?
Speaker 7: It does?
Speaker 2: All right? Anyway, when I let's go and get to
Speaker 2: the weather.
Speaker 1: Yes, yet, honestly, could snow eight feet and it wouldn't
Speaker 1: sound as horrible as the story sounds.
Speaker 7: No, it wouldn't, and it's not going to.
Speaker 8: We'll get as colder as yesterday made it into the
Speaker 8: low seventies in the triangle of the Triad, A sixty nine,
Speaker 8: officially well above average. WHI should be near fifty this
Speaker 8: time of year, and we'll be near that today For
Speaker 8: the high clouds and sunshine. Really depending on where you are.
Speaker 8: There's still maybe a little low cloud or fogg in spots.
Speaker 8: All right now, it looks like there's more clear skies
Speaker 8: you go near the Triad and out toward Hickory and
Speaker 8: down your Charlotte than there is Raleigh, Fayetteville off near Lumberton,
Speaker 8: and Jacksonville out toward the east. So it's kind of
Speaker 8: a fifty to fifty shot across the state right now.
Speaker 8: Drop into the mid upper thirties. Tonight might be some
Speaker 8: spotty drizzle or light rain into tomorrow and then partly Sunday.
Speaker 8: Otherwise Tomorrow not a bunch of rain. I mean, it's
Speaker 8: less than and it's probably not even making a puddle
Speaker 8: if that. That's the next round of colder air coming
Speaker 8: in upper forties to low fifties Tomorrow, mid upper forties
Speaker 8: on Saturday, with lows down into the twenties. Sunday sunshine
Speaker 8: only near forties. Some may not get to forty degrees,
Speaker 8: with lows at night in the teens and low twenties,
Speaker 8: and a cold Monday near forty. Tuesday, Christmas Eve sunshine
Speaker 8: fifty Christmas Day li to mid fifties and mainly cloudy
Speaker 8: cold for college football playoff games tomorrow night and in
Speaker 8: Columbus and a happy Valley on Saturday. Austin's going to
Speaker 8: be decent. The only gain that may be impacted, and
Speaker 8: I think it would be the wind could be in
Speaker 8: Columbus for Tennessee and Ohio State on Saturday night. I
Speaker 8: forgot to tell you, case I am off tomorrow. I
Speaker 8: know you're off for two more weeks after that. So
Speaker 8: very Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, email, all that
Speaker 8: good stuff. I had an emergency trip. I need to
Speaker 8: make the Death Valley for a graduation, not my daughter's,
Speaker 8: but my daughter's friend.
Speaker 7: And I'm the.
Speaker 2: Report ossification treatment. All right, I gotta roll me around.
Speaker 7: Have a go one man. We'll see next year.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you in the new year. Brother, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next.
Speaker 2: Hang on.
Speaker 11: Well morning, Casey. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell triggered a
Speaker 11: midweek sell off on Wall Street. Major averages ended deep
Speaker 11: in the red yesterday. The Dow has fallen now for
Speaker 11: ten sessions in a row. It's the blue chip's longest
Speaker 11: losing streak in fifty years. The Fed lowered borrowing costs
Speaker 11: with another quarter point interest rate cut, But when Powell
Speaker 11: spoke to reporters yesterday, he indicated the central Bank will
Speaker 11: be more aggressive in fighting inflation and there may be
Speaker 11: just two rate cuts in twenty twenty five. Got some
Speaker 11: new data from Washington this morning. Both the reports surprising
Speaker 11: to the upside. The Labor Department reports there was a
Speaker 11: big drop last week and the number of workers signing
Speaker 11: up for unemployment benefits two hundred and twenty thousand new
Speaker 11: applications were filed twenty two thousand fewer than the week before.
Speaker 11: And the government's final look at how the economy performed
Speaker 11: in the third quarter shows the gross domestic product rose
Speaker 11: at an annual rate of three point one percent from
Speaker 11: July through September. The prior estimate was two point eight percent,
Speaker 11: and Casey a home affordability has worsened over the last
Speaker 11: three months. This is according to Adam. The report says
Speaker 11: median priced homes and condos remain less affordable compared to
Speaker 11: historical averages and nearly all counties across the nation major
Speaker 11: expenses on median priced homes consume thirty four percent of
Speaker 11: the average national wage. And this report Casey was sponsored
Speaker 11: by Total Wine and more.
Speaker 2: Back to you shouldn't we have booze if they're sponsoring
Speaker 2: this fight.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we're all talking about, well we should have samples
Speaker 11: so we could get into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, all right, well you work on that.
Speaker 2: We'll chat tomorrow. Okay, sounds good. Have a good day.
