Speaker 1: Not just any Friday, but a pretty good one, in fact,
Speaker 1: the goodest of them. It's good Friday because the Easter
Speaker 1: Sunday you heathen, so your kids know because there's probably uh,
Speaker 1: you know, candy in the works there. Uh I was,
Speaker 1: I was speaking of kids. I always remember, as a kid,
Speaker 1: like one of the things where they're like, all right,
Speaker 1: it's good Friday. And then you get some concept of
Speaker 1: like you know, the whole chain of events that lead there,
Speaker 1: and you're like that's a good Friday. Like that's not good, right,
Speaker 1: and then like you know, it has they have to
Speaker 1: explain it to you because you're a kid, and that's
Speaker 1: how you process things. Because for a while, I'm just
Speaker 1: like all Fridays are good. Ross you're a fan of
Speaker 1: Fridays just in general, right, most people.
Speaker 2: Are, yeah, no a big fan.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So like, oh, well, what's so good about
Speaker 1: this one? And then but but remember this is the
Speaker 1: same team that just one of all of humanity earlier
Speaker 1: brought you the banger known as the Sabbath. Right, you
Speaker 1: have high hopes like, ah, you know that was pretty good.
Speaker 1: I could stop having to carry pyramid stones or whatever
Speaker 1: I was doing on you know, seven days a week
Speaker 1: at least for one day, tell me more, and then
Speaker 1: boom eventually the weekend. I don't think that's exactly how
Speaker 1: it happened, but okay, because again you're a kid trying
Speaker 1: to make sense of this thing. And I literally thought,
Speaker 1: I'm I literally thought that for a while we just
Speaker 1: had one day off at the end of the week,
Speaker 1: and then this is how we ended up with two
Speaker 1: even though it's kind of not really the thing there,
Speaker 1: but in a way, all right, Democrats will say unions
Speaker 1: did it. Eight year old me thinks Jesus did it,
Speaker 1: So who's wrong? I don't know. I'll let you make
Speaker 1: up your mind, but that will mean a slight little change.
Speaker 1: Race Stagic too good to be with us, Jeff Bellinger.
Speaker 1: There's no markets open, so we can't even ask him
Speaker 1: our awkward question of the day, so we got that
Speaker 1: going for us anyway. Otherwise, good morning, and probably look
Speaker 1: elsewhere for why it's called good Friday, because I don't
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm one hundred percent accurate there, but
Speaker 1: it is funny what we believe is as kids, man,
Speaker 1: and I think I probably there was prompting from an
Speaker 1: older cousin on that because he used to like to
Speaker 1: steer me into things he knew what irritate my parents later,
Speaker 1: which I can totally appreciate. All right, eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight seven four. What is this? What?
Speaker 1: You're not here? You're not here on Monday? Ross? Is that?
Speaker 1: Oh that's just Boston, Paul? Why Boston, Paul? Why do
Speaker 1: you get to litter my email? Monday is Dingus Day,
Speaker 1: the largest celebration in Buffalo. What is that is? What
Speaker 1: is this thing? This Dingus Day in Buffalo? Ross is
Speaker 1: from Buffalo? All right, I'm not you know what. I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna look that up because we're here today
Speaker 1: and we'll be here Monday. I'll tell you when we
Speaker 1: won't be here, just for your future planning events for
Speaker 1: you know stuff people like you have those like the
Speaker 1: big calendar or whatever. We're not gonna be here Cinco
Speaker 1: to my or excuse me, yes, Cinco de Mayo and
Speaker 1: then the whole week. But don't read anything into that.
Speaker 1: It's it was pre planned, so okay, all right, which
Speaker 1: means we're just gonna have to slog through today and
Speaker 1: we'll get you. We'll get you into the weekend, and
Speaker 1: Jeff Maher will be filling in for race, so well,
Speaker 1: we'll be able to get you some weather for the
Speaker 1: weekend and that is what's important. All right, coming up
Speaker 1: on the show, we're doing the Mineral the Mineral deal again.
Speaker 1: That's apparently back on, so that's good. We've got a
Speaker 1: school choice update from Well, I would argue one of
Speaker 1: the very important states, you know, for the second most
Speaker 1: students of any state in all of America. And it's
Speaker 1: weird because I've been told the last few election cycles
Speaker 1: they were flipping this state purple and then blue and
Speaker 1: it just keeps reddening. So that's really weird. And uh
Speaker 1: we will, uh we will get into that because some
Speaker 1: of the Democrats down in Texas are not doing so well,
Speaker 1: and uh, I want to play their audio because that's
Speaker 1: how we roll. And uh one of my favorite stories
Speaker 1: in a while, one of my sports stories in a while, Ross,
Speaker 1: were you inspired when you uh we were putting the
Speaker 1: prep together yesterday and you put this inspiring football story
Speaker 1: together of people sitting down and reading the x's and
Speaker 1: o's and trying to figure out how to best put
Speaker 1: their football club into uh into uh a successful model.
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting to read how like people try
Speaker 2: to innovate their sport. Uh huh, you know, and try
Speaker 2: to take it a step further. And it's what whatever
Speaker 2: you're gonna do to win.
Speaker 1: And then what do people around them who then lose
Speaker 1: because they're not innovating do uh? They hate? Yeah, they hate.
Speaker 1: They try to like what they're doing with Philly with
Speaker 1: the tush push like we got outlaw that well, we
Speaker 1: had we had one outside the box thinker and the
Speaker 1: description to something else one outside the box thinker. You know,
Speaker 1: leave it all out on the field, so to speak, ideologically,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, some some some you know, you know, you
Speaker 1: surround yourself with people that are kind of negative, right,
Speaker 1: like you have a vision, you have an idea, and
Speaker 1: they're just like, I don't think we should do that.
Speaker 1: What if it doesn't work? Manh Yeah, that nobody nobody
Speaker 1: achieved anything with that attitude. You had to go out,
Speaker 1: you had to be you had to break barriers, man.
Speaker 1: And honestly, if they'd implemented this thing that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you about, I don't know, even probably as as
Speaker 1: recently as like the eighties, uh, it probably wouldn't go
Speaker 1: anywhere because it would then just become part of the game.
Speaker 1: But you can't have football without the tossing of and
Speaker 1: you'll learn what it is. But no, no, we're we're
Speaker 1: so deep into this thing. We've gotten so pc on
Speaker 1: other stuff. I don't know that they'll ever get around
Speaker 1: to it. And in a way, it's you know what
Speaker 1: it is. It's it's like what Peter Dinklage did to
Speaker 1: all those actors just wanted to just wanted to eat,
Speaker 1: want to survive in Hollywood, and he got his bag,
Speaker 1: and now nobody gets any of theirs. Well what about
Speaker 1: the what about the folks who can't act, who are
Speaker 1: also the height of Peter dinklish? How does that work?
Speaker 1: You can't act? There's only so many times you can
Speaker 1: be like a nonverbal you know, uh, skipping down the
Speaker 1: yellow brick road cast member or you know, whatever the
Speaker 1: production is. We have kind of a cattle call for
Speaker 1: a bunch of little people. No no, And there was
Speaker 1: a guy, not a little person himself, who was willing
Speaker 1: to innovate on their behalf. And now people are hating
Speaker 1: and it's not okay. So uh well we'll throw that
Speaker 1: out there. Uh and uh much more, let me do this.
Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and hit the Brake and uh, we'll
Speaker 1: come back, got lots of audio for you, Pete calendar.
Speaker 1: He'll join us at eight o five and uh well,
Speaker 1: t he's like his jihad right now is that they're
Speaker 1: uh calling the women astronauts. That's like his hill to
Speaker 1: die on. He won't go there. So uh yeah, good man,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that.
Speaker 2: That's a good fight to have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you gotta pick you know, you gotta stand
Speaker 1: for something or nothing at all. Right, somebody said that
Speaker 1: sometimes one time, although Gale King's not happy about that.
Speaker 1: In fact, Ross, she is squarely mad on I believe
Speaker 1: how you characterized in So we'll see if Ross wants
Speaker 1: to apologize to Gaio King. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so all that more coming up kc O
Speaker 1: Day Radio program. Let me start here though, since it
Speaker 1: is Friday, pooh. You know, it's one of these things
Speaker 1: too where I'm like, yeah, I'm sure a lot of
Speaker 1: people have probably thought of it, but the fact that
Speaker 1: it is it has become legend enough since his passing.
Speaker 1: This is a former Texas tech head coach, Mike Leach,
Speaker 1: who was quite a character man, and there was always
Speaker 1: a rumor floating around, And in this instance, it became
Speaker 1: more than a rumor because there were now multiple people
Speaker 1: willing to talk about this because you can't cancel him
Speaker 1: because he died two years ago. Okay, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense when I lay out what's
Speaker 1: going on here. And I don't like the way the headlines.
Speaker 1: I'll read you the headline, which would give it away,
Speaker 1: but I don't like the way that it's worded, like
Speaker 1: who is what's up with the supporting staff? All?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Here we go. Mike Leach, former Texas Tech Red Raider
Speaker 1: head football coach and several other programs, pretty legendary career,
Speaker 1: allegedly once had to be talked out of putting a
Speaker 1: little person in the backfield so that they could throw
Speaker 1: them over the line of scrimmage in short yard situations.
Speaker 1: Why are you talking them out of that? Would? I mean?
Speaker 1: And by the way, the description of it is the
Speaker 1: stuff of nightmares or Super Bowl ring acquisitions, right, because
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. You're like, Oh, it's just
Speaker 1: like this, give them a little boost, right. You get
Speaker 1: a full back behind the running back, and then the
Speaker 1: running backs the little person, and then the full back
Speaker 1: of the quarterback, just like no, no, no, no, no, no
Speaker 1: no this I want you to understand how highly specialized
Speaker 1: and how game planned. Mike Leach put this out because
Speaker 1: he realized that would not be the most advantageous situation
Speaker 1: because you would not have maximum velocity. So what Mike
Speaker 1: Leach allegedly proposed was was described best as a helicopter toss.
Speaker 1: And then I had to read into that. So you know,
Speaker 1: the another track and field guy, ROSSI ran track and field.
Speaker 1: What's the event with the ball on a chain and
Speaker 1: you spin around and there's the hammer throw? Right? Well?
Speaker 1: The hammer throw?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, first off, I wasn't in track and field.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: Well, I forced myself to do cross country for one
Speaker 2: season and it was a complete nightmare and never again.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but I believe it's the hammer throw.
Speaker 1: Okay, the hammer throw? All right, So understanding, if you've
Speaker 1: ever watched the hammer throw, you have to you get
Speaker 1: your momentum up right and what you got to swing
Speaker 1: the I don't remember exactly how many times you swing
Speaker 1: the thing around. But then only once you've achieved that
Speaker 1: maximum outward velocity, then your skill set kicks in because
Speaker 1: you have to also be able to release it in
Speaker 1: a line that's going to be you know, within bounds,
Speaker 1: so to speak for you, or at least in the
Speaker 1: direction you're wanting to throw it. So it's like not
Speaker 1: just any jibbroni off the street can do it. So
Speaker 1: much like like an NFL long snapper, there's going to
Speaker 1: be an extra skill set that one has to develop.
Speaker 1: And in case people think it's just an end around
Speaker 1: on you know, the rest of the football operation, I
Speaker 1: would point out that you're gonna need an immense amount
Speaker 1: of blocking right so that you have time to make
Speaker 1: the rotations with your short yardage play backfield player specialist
Speaker 1: so that you can achieve maximum velocity because if not,
Speaker 1: then why are you even doing it? And if you
Speaker 1: don't get him high enough at at the correct launch angle,
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm sitting here and I'm saying him,
Speaker 1: what a wonderful opportunity for all of you who wanted
Speaker 1: to see women in the NFL, right, because at that point,
Speaker 1: it's just it's really about who's light enough to uh
Speaker 1: to toss for mashimum amount of yardage. And apparently his
Speaker 1: staff talked him out of it, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: smells like a loophole to me. Smells like a loophole
Speaker 1: to me. It gets that builds the ring ross you arguing, no,
Speaker 1: not at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you'd have to do like the Texas Tornado
Speaker 2: to refer to the wrestling as we always do, like
Speaker 2: the wind up before the puncher before the throw.
Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, And you're gonna need you're gonna need your
Speaker 1: blockers to allow you an opportunity to do that. So
Speaker 1: like nobody's in on this play, everybody's in. And and
Speaker 1: like I said, if you don't get the proper launch angle,
Speaker 1: you get some rookie in there. All they do is
Speaker 1: they sling your your running back or which is probably
Speaker 1: not a we'll call it the flyback, because why not.
Speaker 1: And and you know you launched that right in the
Speaker 1: back of your own offensive line. You look, it's amateur
Speaker 1: hour out there. You're not getting any yards. So no,
Speaker 1: it's not just some random drunken bachelor party from the
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties where you could literally have like that, get
Speaker 1: the velcrow a dartboard thing, and then hire people, which
Speaker 1: of course then activists put out of business as evidence
Speaker 1: in like Wolf of Wall Street would be a good
Speaker 1: example of that. Right, this is not that this is
Speaker 1: not every man just you know, having that hole. This
Speaker 1: is somebody who has to train, which means you're gonna
Speaker 1: need practice squad people that are roughly the same weight
Speaker 1: so that you know you don't risk injury of your star,
Speaker 1: but also allow the launcher or whatever you would deem
Speaker 1: that position to go ahead and be the best in
Speaker 1: the business.
Speaker 2: It would take a lot of athleticism. It would like
Speaker 2: you know what evil and evil got shot out of
Speaker 2: a cannon, right, that took like a lot of like
Speaker 2: physical strength. And if Josh Allen is tossing a little
Speaker 2: person into the end zone.
Speaker 1: Well that becomes to the question who is the tosser?
Speaker 1: And you're right, you got to have somebody who's already
Speaker 1: in on it, and I think the quarterback would be
Speaker 1: the likely position it would it would fall to.
Speaker 2: So, well, if it's the case, if the game evolved
Speaker 2: that way, you couldn't have somebody small like Kyler Murray
Speaker 2: or somebody Oh.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: You'd have to be like a six foot six, two
Speaker 2: hundred somebody who's described as too strong. Yeah, yeah, how
Speaker 2: it's there for an arm Just throw the right in.
Speaker 1: There, even though it's not just it's not the same
Speaker 1: throwing motion. It kind of is because it's for the
Speaker 1: benefit of your team and their points total. So can
Speaker 1: you imagine you're sitting there at you know, you're on
Speaker 1: the coaching team for Texas Tech, right and you're waiting
Speaker 1: for the head coach to come in for you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's got their clipboards or sitting in the room like
Speaker 1: those scenes in Moneyball.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I was about to say this unfair because like,
Speaker 2: you know, the guy from the A's gets a movie
Speaker 2: starring Brad Pitt as himself, right to your movie, and
Speaker 2: like this guy gets nothing.
Speaker 1: Well, because you know what, because at least Brad Pitt
Speaker 1: followed through with his plan, because already I got people
Speaker 1: trying to punch holes in Mike Leach's playing here. Uh
Speaker 1: like the part where you're not allowed to launch other
Speaker 1: players moment their momentum if they're not on the ground,
Speaker 1: which is a rule that essentially makes it so you
Speaker 1: can't just have three people on a defensive you know,
Speaker 1: block a punter or block kick, launch three players up
Speaker 1: in the air like it's a gymnastics conversation competition. But
Speaker 1: that's on the defensive side. If you make it aok
Speaker 1: for offense, there are there are there are plenty of
Speaker 1: rules where once I can do the thing, the other
Speaker 1: can't in certain situations. Okay, those are very it's a
Speaker 1: specialty play. And remember the person you're launching, they have
Speaker 1: to be able to hold out of the ball. So
Speaker 1: it's not like it's you know, it's not like there's
Speaker 1: it's it's not a tangible skills based position. And every
Speaker 1: time you bring that person into the backfield, you're kind
Speaker 1: of tipping your hand, do you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like they kind of know what's up, Like, what are
Speaker 1: you all right? So we're gonna is it a reverse?
Speaker 1: Is that what we're gonna do? Because that's the thing
Speaker 1: the Vikings started doing on for like fourth and short plays.
Speaker 1: That made me just want to bang my head into
Speaker 1: the wall. So no, you're like, oh, okay, well number
Speaker 1: whatever's in a number, whatever happens to be the toss.
Speaker 1: E I think we're gonna I think we're gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and guard against the toss. And by the way,
Speaker 1: is it just football that benefits from this, I would
Speaker 1: I would profer that it is not. Some sports. It
Speaker 1: may work some it may not Baseball, I don't really,
Speaker 1: I can't think of a good reason for it. But basketball,
Speaker 1: how would you like to have the you know, next
Speaker 1: year's dunk champion be three foot tall? Eat your heart out,
Speaker 1: Muggsy Bogues. Just guys, don't you know? Well alley oop
Speaker 1: there from but you don't. You don't have to alley
Speaker 1: oop to anybody, now, Ross thought I meant that Shaq
Speaker 1: would hold him and then and dunk him as well.
Speaker 1: That is not what I meant. No, but rather, you know,
Speaker 1: we can't. Nobody can get in, you know, get down
Speaker 1: low on the whoop, but this guy no.
Speaker 2: But I think Shack, if he wanted to, could do it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I think he could dunk it. I don't know,
Speaker 2: there's confusion. I'm not saying Shack now, but I'm saying
Speaker 2: Prime all right, and it's Prime.
Speaker 1: I got you. I don't know, maybe Shack now, dude,
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna beat the crap out of
Speaker 1: who's that? Aiden? Ross? I you know, I know nothing
Speaker 1: about this dude other than a lot of people have
Speaker 1: a low opinion of him, and I've just never cared
Speaker 1: enough to look into it. He's just one of these
Speaker 1: streamers who just does he go annoy people. Is that
Speaker 1: a thing for him to well, he must have his
Speaker 1: people are annoyed by him. I don't know his shick,
Speaker 1: but he thought it would be funny at the last
Speaker 1: UFC to go and knock candy out of Shack's hands
Speaker 1: and it's like spilled on his legs and stuff, and
Speaker 1: Shack straight up looked like he wanted to murder that dude.
Speaker 1: And they were like trash talking with the UFC thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, think think about the stone owns it takes
Speaker 1: to go knock food out of Shaq's hands. And this
Speaker 1: dude's like, I'll do that for clicks and conflict and
Speaker 1: you know eventually where we are here. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: running through the list of sports. Uh, Hockey, No, not
Speaker 1: really unless unless you're gonna do like a curling motion,
Speaker 1: but probably not golf, No, not really, but you know,
Speaker 1: like basketball is the one where there might be some
Speaker 1: ancillary help there, but football really is the reason for
Speaker 1: the season. If you and by the way, if you
Speaker 1: know nothing about Mike Leach and you've never watch you
Speaker 1: never back in the day watched one of his press conferences.
Speaker 1: This dude was great. Like this dude the type Mike
Speaker 1: Leach fake opening script story, which is confirmed, by the way.
Speaker 1: Check that out and you'll go ahead and you'll get
Speaker 1: yourself a little insight into how much this dude enjoyed
Speaker 1: messing with people. His press conferences were kind of legendary.
Speaker 1: So we'll leave it there, all right, eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine four seven eight seven before. Yeah, that's how. That's
Speaker 1: how I opened the show today. It's Friday, says the
Speaker 1: day you do things like this. We did Friday.
Speaker 2: We did a radio station event once in Salt Lake
Speaker 2: City when I was working there, and it was the
Speaker 2: guys from Jackass showed up and one of them, remember
Speaker 2: the small we man, Yeah, we missed there. And the
Speaker 2: whole event was because the club we were at we
Speaker 2: did the broadcast at like Fridays or Saturdays, they had
Speaker 2: a giant stage there and the entire event was like
Speaker 2: tossing him off the stage, okay, And he was super
Speaker 2: excited about it, and they did it for about ten
Speaker 2: minutes and they had a cancel and this guy was
Speaker 2: super pissed they canceled the event. He was like, I
Speaker 2: want you to keep throwing me off the stage.
Speaker 1: Why did they cancel? Did somebody get offended?
Speaker 2: They they they started escalating and they're like, he's gonna
Speaker 2: get hurt and then we're gonna get sued and there's
Speaker 2: gonna be the issue at the radio station.
Speaker 1: Watch jacket.
Speaker 2: I know he was upset. He was like, no, keep
Speaker 2: doing it. He was having a blast. This is the thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is.
Speaker 1: What I do. Because why I get up in the
Speaker 1: morning and and lace my tiny shoes. This is this
Speaker 1: is what I do. This is why the in all seriousness,
Speaker 1: this is why the Peter dinklic thing is honestly really
Speaker 1: one of the biggest d bag moves in in Like
Speaker 1: you know, to your fellow actors that I that I
Speaker 1: can think of, that you sideline an entire group of
Speaker 1: people because you already got yours and you wanted to
Speaker 1: play this woke stuff. That's just awful, man, So poor
Speaker 1: we man. He's just he's on the road trying to
Speaker 1: ply his thing right. He's not getting Peter dinkld Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones money. No, he's got to go. He's got
Speaker 1: a tour. That's it. By the way, if you ever
Speaker 1: wonder if an artist is just killing it on their
Speaker 1: own and if they tour, I mean sure, just just
Speaker 1: know that for a lot of artists they have no
Speaker 1: choice but to tour.
Speaker 2: They go to I'm not gonna lie, like I've seen,
Speaker 2: you know, being in this business. You know, we've been around.
Speaker 2: I've been around celebrities now and again, and I'm not
Speaker 2: the type of name drop because I find it annoying.
Speaker 2: And even when they would bring celebrities to the radio station,
Speaker 2: I'm not the type I don't want. Yeah, I tend
Speaker 2: to avoid it. I'm like, I just have no interest
Speaker 2: in it. But that being said, I've never seen a
Speaker 2: celebrity have more women all over them than we man
Speaker 2: that night, and like attractive women, Like it was so
Speaker 2: super strange. We were in VIP. It was upstairs like
Speaker 2: they're for this club. What was the club, the Vortex.
Speaker 2: It's called the Vortex and upstairs and the third floor
Speaker 2: was the VIP area and we man comes in there
Speaker 2: and he looks at the women and he just goes
Speaker 2: he motions with his top to pull his top up
Speaker 2: and he goes show show him to me, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is crazy, And every single woman in the vi
Speaker 2: P looks at him and and does it every single
Speaker 2: and hip. Yeah, like this guy's powers, dude, that's why
Speaker 2: you were playing with man? Just for the visual freebies.
Speaker 2: What is the word the kids use like the riz. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this guy just swimming in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and he knows it too, right, you come
Speaker 1: up and now he many times even in Utah, which
Speaker 1: arguably from a getting girls to do that standpoint might
Speaker 1: be one of the hardest lifts on the planet.
Speaker 2: Dude, like this guy and he completely knew that he
Speaker 2: had this power. It was so Like I said, I've
Speaker 2: been around like a lot of rock stars and I'm
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of crazy stuff. The most powerful quote
Speaker 2: celebrity rock star I've ever seen in this department is
Speaker 2: a we man.
Speaker 1: From Jackets Slay and just slay in the groupies. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's a guy who's got to work
Speaker 1: harder bit and obviously he has found his niche. Yeah,
Speaker 1: shame on whoever didn't want him to keep having fun
Speaker 1: that day. That is awful. Speaking of awful, I tend again,
Speaker 1: I tend to, although this is going to be different,
Speaker 1: I tend to when it's the families of people who
Speaker 1: are involved in big, high profile stories, I tend to
Speaker 1: understand that emotions are going to drive a lot of
Speaker 1: the decisions that are made there and so I try
Speaker 1: not to be critical. Yeah, obviously your kid in retrospect
Speaker 1: probably should not. Who's, by the way, not a kid
Speaker 1: anymore in most of these circumstances, even though that's the
Speaker 1: photo you're using. You know, maybe they should have showed
Speaker 1: their hands or not, you know, held a weapon in
Speaker 1: their hand too long, or attempted to grab an officer's
Speaker 1: weapon that escalated into some you know, one of these
Speaker 1: stories that's the next civil rights blockbuster, which are becoming
Speaker 1: less and less thanks to all these body cams. I
Speaker 1: think that's pretty clear. But like so, I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: and you know, I see this stuff, and it has
Speaker 1: to do with the parents of the parents of this
Speaker 1: this kid in Frisco, this seventeen year old accused of
Speaker 1: stabbing the other seventeen year old in the heart and
Speaker 1: killing them, and all the crazy stories that are coming
Speaker 1: out of escalate purchases and mansion moves and all of that,
Speaker 1: because that's the money. No, no, no, it's the sheer
Speaker 1: audacity of it. Shows you the type of lawyer the
Speaker 1: family has chosen. Even though they had the means to
Speaker 1: go hire a really good, not showboat lawyer, they instead
Speaker 1: decided to settle on these uh, these civil rights lawyers
Speaker 1: who all think that this is the next great civil
Speaker 1: rights thing. And when when you're in that mindset and
Speaker 1: you're willing to say whatever, because it's about the shock
Speaker 1: value as to how you're doing things, like the things
Speaker 1: you'll say openly are pretty crazy. But yet we have
Speaker 1: now one of the lawyers for the family who was
Speaker 1: responding to the father of the victims showing up to
Speaker 1: a memorial thing or to a rally, and like most
Speaker 1: every other lawyer I could possibly think of, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: not a lawyer would sit there and go all right,
Speaker 1: just don't acknowledge it, or maybe say, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: say something where you're like, I understand the pain you're
Speaker 1: going through, and you know, we just we just want
Speaker 1: the truth, and we're gonna go ahead and go for
Speaker 1: the truth and just leave it at that. That is
Speaker 1: not the direction that the family and their lawyers chose
Speaker 1: to go in yesterday. And it's pretty awful. So we'll
Speaker 1: dive into that first thing. We'll do that next here
Speaker 1: on the CaCO Day radio program. It's all kicks off
Speaker 1: April second. April second, so about two weeks removed. That
Speaker 1: is the date on which Texas high school athlete Austin
Speaker 1: Metcalf was stabbed in the chest to the track meet.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think we've done a pretty fair
Speaker 1: job of really kind of waiting for the information to
Speaker 1: flesh out and presenting it to you. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people have already locked into some pretty pretty
Speaker 1: substantial positions here, and there's a lot of hypocrisy. I
Speaker 1: understand that, right. But the gist of it was when
Speaker 1: you read the witness statements and you read the police report,
Speaker 1: the Carmelo Anthony, not the one who played for the Nuggets.
Speaker 1: This guy was inside another team or another school's tent
Speaker 1: area a seating area there, and the one of two twins,
Speaker 1: although both were there. I was like, hey man, this
Speaker 1: is not your spot. And then, according to the description
Speaker 1: of how it went, the guy's like, well, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You make me move? A good idea?
Speaker 1: Do that? Find out what happens, which is, by the way,
Speaker 1: really normal high school stuff, right. That's dudes learning how
Speaker 1: to square up to each other. That's an unremarkable thing
Speaker 1: it has become. Back in my day, it might lead
Speaker 1: to a few punches being thrown, but it would be
Speaker 1: one on one nobody'd be jumping in and likely they'd
Speaker 1: break it up as soon as somebody took some real damage,
Speaker 1: and then you know, you might get in trouble, or
Speaker 1: if nobody saw it, you wouldn't and then that was it.
Speaker 1: And then that's just how it would how it would
Speaker 1: have gone. But no, this case obviously took a much
Speaker 1: more tragic turn, one that required somebody to bring a
Speaker 1: weapon on the school property, which is already problematic, but
Speaker 1: also utilize that weapon after the first escalation. Like, I'm
Speaker 1: a big proponent when I watch these videos on the
Speaker 1: internet that if you're the first person to put hands
Speaker 1: and then you get a you get a fist full
Speaker 1: of uh, you know, to the face. I mean like, well,
Speaker 1: you kind of earned that. But then that's it. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't wish you anything beyond that, other than
Speaker 1: maybe you rethinking putting your hands on people now in
Speaker 1: this situation, it's not that necessarily if the hands on
Speaker 1: first came from the victim that it was that you
Speaker 1: have to you have to convince yourself that he was
Speaker 1: fearing for his life there. And I don't know how
Speaker 1: fear fool you are. You can't blame the numbers or
Speaker 1: any of the rest where you're essentially going, I wish,
Speaker 1: I wish a m ef or would like if that's
Speaker 1: your response, it's it sounds like you're you're you're there
Speaker 1: for at least that part of it. And so all
Speaker 1: of these other ancillary stories where he was provoked there
Speaker 1: was a history. The one I saw I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this was his bully. Well, they didn't know each other,
Speaker 1: they didn't go they didn't know each other at all.
Speaker 1: They never met each other, and you could see in
Speaker 1: the press conference they laid this thing out. Well, Uh
Speaker 1: so Austin Metcalf's father, heard that they were having, uh
Speaker 1: press release or a press conference and some sort of
Speaker 1: a rallying thing. Remember there's all these fundraising efforts going on,
Speaker 1: and he decided he was going to show up to
Speaker 1: the press conference, not to run up on stage and
Speaker 1: throw glitter or screaming a bullhorn, but just to be there.
Speaker 1: And I can't, for the life of me understand the
Speaker 1: decision by the family's attorneys for Carmelo Anthony to acknowledge
Speaker 1: there and do so in this way.
Speaker 4: And all I'm going to say so it don't be asked. Later,
Speaker 4: his lawyer was disrespectful and just shows you all the
Speaker 4: character who was not invited. He knows respective to be
Speaker 4: near this family, but he did it. And so I
Speaker 4: say to people's actions speak louder than words.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: What he has failed into is the political operatives that
Speaker 4: want to make this thing a political thing.
Speaker 1: That's why he's upset.
Speaker 4: Bigotry and yet racism a bunch of We have conservative
Speaker 4: operativests that have been posting none thop about this case.
Speaker 1: Do you think the father of the dead students will
Speaker 1: be was radicalized by political posts to show up? You think?
Speaker 5: Is?
Speaker 1: You think that's why he did it and then to
Speaker 1: call it You know, there's a lot of things that
Speaker 1: are disrespectful, sir. If we want to start making a list,
Speaker 1: some would argue moving into the giant gated mansion and
Speaker 1: buying an escalade and then posting things like well, you
Speaker 1: know at least one family's has both parents track this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the d D put this out ross. Did
Speaker 1: you see the new military ad the d D release yesterday?
Speaker 1: I just saw this thing. All right, I'm gonna send
Speaker 1: it to you here and if this delivers on what
Speaker 1: the headline, because I literally saw it right as I'm
Speaker 1: coming back if it delivers on the headline, which I'll
Speaker 1: tell you about here in just a moment. I want
Speaker 1: to get this to the ross here do d ad Okay,
Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent here for it. All right,
Speaker 1: that is on the way. Let me let me share
Speaker 1: with you this. So apparently the DoD has released the
Speaker 1: military has released a new ad uh and this is
Speaker 1: the American Warrior. Right, so if you remember what heg
Speaker 1: Seth was talking about, but really kind of the push
Speaker 1: of the Trump administration was to concentrate on lethality, which
Speaker 1: is a great word that you know, it's now all
Speaker 1: in everybody's wheelhouse. But basically, are our soldiers in the
Speaker 1: best position because again because people think the lethality is
Speaker 1: just about the ability to kill people, and that the
Speaker 1: court is, but also it's you want people to go
Speaker 1: I'm not even screwing with them. That's the goal. That's
Speaker 1: the goal. And look, there's some you'll never convince like
Speaker 1: the Hooti's right. These guys get you know, tricked in
Speaker 1: having a big group outdoor meeting standing in a circle
Speaker 1: so that they can get effectively missiled all at the
Speaker 1: same time, and they just keep it coming right, I'm
Speaker 1: not just not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: other folks. I'm talking about China. Who would you know,
Speaker 1: at any point would go, you know what, this is
Speaker 1: a trade war. Now it's a real war. And if
Speaker 1: you think those things don't happen, I would I would
Speaker 1: suggest you look at World War two. Essentially it was
Speaker 1: a trade It was a trade dispute that was one
Speaker 1: of the big escalators for why Japan thought that that
Speaker 1: was a good idea, which is insane in retrospect. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but not just an ad focusing on the American warrior,
Speaker 1: but one that also mocks the our diversity is our strength.
Speaker 1: That is that is some top tier stuff right there,
Speaker 1: my man? All right, well we'll get into that just
Speaker 1: a little more. Grab a quick phone call here, Yes, Donna,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 6: Good morning, Casey.
Speaker 1: That's Friday. So there's that, and it's good Friday. So
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's that's right, that's right.
Speaker 6: So the dad that went to the press conference when this,
Speaker 6: like I think it was like the night after it happened,
Speaker 6: or maybe the same night, he came out in a
Speaker 6: press conference and said he forgive the boy, He forgave
Speaker 6: the boy, he gabbed his son. The mother, on the
Speaker 6: other hand, said she did not, and so did the brother.
Speaker 6: But he would think that these uh lawyers in the
Speaker 6: family would want him up there on the stage since
Speaker 6: he's the one who gave him.
Speaker 1: Well, you think they'd have enough brains to just not
Speaker 1: trash on the dude. That's the that's the crazy thing.
Speaker 6: That would be a good start.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that's.
Speaker 1: What happens when you hire lawyers who are there for
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons, right, Yeah, I don't begrudge anybody. Look,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite lawyers, and somebody I know personally,
Speaker 1: was a lawyer for Timothy mca right, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's a that's a tough putt right there, right,
Speaker 1: because you know you're you know you're going to get
Speaker 1: an l in your in your overall record, right.
Speaker 6: And the penalty on top of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's but for the lawyer's name is Chris Triteco. Guys,
Speaker 1: because people can look this up. He was introduced to
Speaker 1: me through another radio friend, and Tritico was not He's
Speaker 1: not some Republican I don't know what is technically what
Speaker 1: his politics are, but just talking to him yet a
Speaker 1: little woke in him. But his big thing is he
Speaker 1: he is he's not a fan of the death penalty.
Speaker 1: And as I understand his position, and it's an interesting one,
Speaker 1: is if you have a general distrust of government, now
Speaker 1: you have a possibility where government, using all of the
Speaker 1: powers and force, the government can provide and seek your death.
Speaker 1: And that's a very powerful thing. And you know what
Speaker 1: that is. That is how you argue and debate an
Speaker 1: issue like that. Because he does of people going, well,
Speaker 1: I don't trust the government. I saw what they did
Speaker 1: with Jay six. Or should I trust them when they
Speaker 1: want to execute somebody? And and like, those are good
Speaker 1: conversations to have this lawyer down in Texas. And I
Speaker 1: was talking to another radio guy who has got his
Speaker 1: own lawyer friend down in Texas. Like the other lawyers,
Speaker 1: including one of my buddy's firm, they like approached them,
Speaker 1: and the firm did not want to do it. And
Speaker 1: then they heard that they were getting civil rights lawyers
Speaker 1: and they're like, now nobody will work with him who
Speaker 1: is a legitimate defense because they realized the motivation of
Speaker 1: the lawyers now is not what is in the best
Speaker 1: interest of their client right, but rather what's in the
Speaker 1: best interest of the narrative, and that's where we're gonna
Speaker 1: end up with this stuff. So probably not. All right,
Speaker 1: you guys address your cat up in like a little
Speaker 1: Pope pat today or what do you do?
Speaker 6: Hey, listen, I have a really cool question to you.
Speaker 6: I watched your Katy Perry Illuminati video.
Speaker 1: I just want to be very clear that is not mine.
Speaker 1: It's just something that stumbled across on the internet thought
Speaker 1: everyone should have to hear.
Speaker 6: So well, I'm just wondering, since it's a tantric sex guru,
Speaker 6: if you practice ritual sex.
Speaker 1: Magic blood sugar sex magic is what it's technically called. Yeah, yeah, which,
Speaker 1: now in retrospect, I realize is about diabetic witches. But whatever,
Speaker 1: which is a good one?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: All right? You probably get along with them, you know,
Speaker 1: because they like cats too, So my cat is.
Speaker 3: A dull baby.
Speaker 6: You stop saying bad things about my cats.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Ross, what if we got a cat a
Speaker 1: spot on an NFL roster? Think about how far you
Speaker 1: could throw? No, yeah, yeah, I just thought of something.
Speaker 1: Thank you Donna for being the inspiration.
Speaker 6: Say hi to Boot, Say hi boots.
Speaker 1: I don't know what a boots is.
Speaker 6: Say hi Boots, because she can.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he can run. Boots run. They're gonna dress
Speaker 1: you in something. Yeah, you have a self respect. Get
Speaker 1: out of there, all right. Thanks, I'm the monster. I
Speaker 1: just tried to save your cat from getting uh, you know,
Speaker 1: pictures of it dressed? Is I don't know whatever you
Speaker 1: dress of the Easter bunny? Think your cat wants Easter bunny? Yours?
Speaker 2: Hell No?
Speaker 1: And what Donna's referring to, I just want to be
Speaker 1: very clear, is not my Katie Perry Illuminati video. It's
Speaker 1: just one of the many insane things I watch because
Speaker 1: you know, I like the conspiracy theories where apparently the
Speaker 1: entire launch was nothing but some sort of homage to
Speaker 1: Baphomet and an Illuminati plot. And then they go into
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff and there's a couple things where
Speaker 1: you're just like, why does the patch look like that? Right?
Speaker 1: But then there's other stuff where it's just like you
Speaker 1: all need some thorz. What the hell is going on here?
Speaker 1: Think you pos to think about some of this stuff?
Speaker 1: All right. I have not even heard this ad yet.
Speaker 1: I just saw the description. Does it payoff? All right?
Speaker 1: So this is the new ad from the DoD and
Speaker 1: if it literally does touch on that diversity is our
Speaker 1: strength line that is a top tier. Here we go,
Speaker 1: we're listening to it all together for the first time.
Speaker 8: They never get the appalls, they never get the headlines,
Speaker 8: they never get the bright lights, they never get the microphone.
Speaker 1: No one's heard their story.
Speaker 9: No one's familiar with their story.
Speaker 4: One of the dumbest phrases in military history.
Speaker 2: Our diversity is our strengths.
Speaker 1: Our shared purpose is our strength.
Speaker 5: We are one DoD community committed to.
Speaker 7: The same issue. We are American warriors.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. They didn't shy away
Speaker 1: from that, did they.
Speaker 2: And that's it.
Speaker 1: That is the fundamental And I have no and I
Speaker 1: like that they're doing that because I think that one
Speaker 1: of the things that's very effect in politics is having
Speaker 1: an incredibly easy to discern differentiating factor. Right I am.
Speaker 1: This is their position, this is my position. Which do
Speaker 1: you think is best? And do you think it is
Speaker 1: let's let's have maximum diversity, or is it best when
Speaker 1: we have the maximum ability to not just go out
Speaker 1: and kick ass and take names, but strike fear at
Speaker 1: the very thought of going to war with us? So
Speaker 1: you choose not to, which frankly is a really good thing, right.
Speaker 1: I know, people they go, oh, that just it allows
Speaker 1: you to be authoritarian around the world. Well, sometimes we're
Speaker 1: just the biggest, well every time technically from the numbers.
Speaker 1: But like, is it some sort of weird flex that
Speaker 1: Jamaica isn't going to declare war on the US. I'm
Speaker 1: just picking on Jamaica, but I mean, just from a
Speaker 1: number standpoint, No, this is reality. That's just reality. My friends. Hell,
Speaker 1: just whenever they got just military hardware stood deployed in
Speaker 1: southern Florida would be enough to end that in the day.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you eliminate it from the from the list there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm I'm perfectly fine with the direction they're
Speaker 1: going here. One all right eight eight eight nine three
Speaker 1: four seven eight seven four. Apparently there's some big thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, and maybe it's not
Speaker 1: a big thing, but like, is there some like weird
Speaker 1: David hog kinky story getting ready to come out? I
Speaker 1: hate putting all those words into one sentence, but like
Speaker 1: dudes trying to get ahead of something. And now there's
Speaker 1: like internal warfare with James Carvill and David Hogg, which
Speaker 1: is that that meme, that god Zilla meme where you're like,
Speaker 1: let him fight right, No love loss there, but it
Speaker 1: is a real directional struggle within the Democrat Party because
Speaker 1: Hog is the vice chair of the party and Carville
Speaker 1: is clearly old guard of the party. I don't know
Speaker 1: that there's older old guard than Carville, just being on
Speaker 1: the political scene from the left and apparently they are
Speaker 1: not fans of each other, and I think it points
Speaker 1: to what direction what is the party as a whole
Speaker 1: going to take away from the last election. And if
Speaker 1: you're David Hogg, probably not a lot of useful lessons
Speaker 1: if he gets his way. So but hey, if you
Speaker 1: want to root for the destruction of both sides, fine
Speaker 1: at least let me lay out the details coming up
Speaker 1: on the CaCO Day radio program. Then there's a lot
Speaker 1: to like here. But also I try to analyze these
Speaker 1: things too as to a non as to be in
Speaker 1: a non biased position. We're refuge when reviewing it. Obviously
Speaker 1: I have opinions, but like I try to take a
Speaker 1: step back and think, Okay, is this of all the
Speaker 1: options that they have, is it's probably the best thing
Speaker 1: for them? If so, or if not? Why so I
Speaker 1: can do that. So I saw James Carvill losing his
Speaker 1: damn mind in an interview I think it was on
Speaker 1: News Nation too, right, which is you know, definitely, definitely
Speaker 1: if you're gonna throw beef about internal Democrat squabblings, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be an audience that's gonna lap that up. So
Speaker 1: he's sitting there and he's talking about David Hogg, and
Speaker 1: this is after Hogg announced that as his in his
Speaker 1: new role as vice chair of the National Party, one
Speaker 1: of the things he's going to be doing is creating
Speaker 1: and funneling money a fund and then funneling money to
Speaker 1: incumbent Democrat primary challenges. Right, So you know that always
Speaker 1: gets you know, whenever we make fun of Tom Tillis
Speaker 1: on this radio, which is so easy to do when
Speaker 1: you know you're that's your target, right, like listen to
Speaker 1: the dude or you know those times he murdered the
Speaker 1: kids as slender Man, his alter ego. And but inevitably
Speaker 1: I'll get an email and they're like, yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: if you're primary him, then Roy Cooper's gonna win the seats.
Speaker 1: He just can't do it. I'm like, well, that's that's
Speaker 1: obviously defeat us. Sir, do you think that Tom Tilli
Speaker 1: is the only person who could beat Roy Cooper potentially?
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe the answer is yes, because the power
Speaker 1: of incumbassy is a thing. But Hogs like nah Man,
Speaker 1: what we gotta do is we need to funnel like
Speaker 1: twenty million bucks, which goes a lot further in a
Speaker 1: primary than in a general election. Right, You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a lot of bang for twenty million bucks man, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna get some of these old guard, more moderate
Speaker 1: Democrats out so that we can get a bunch of
Speaker 1: AOC's in there. And that's the hogs all in on it,
Speaker 1: and that's where then the analysis has to be, is
Speaker 1: that really the smart move for the party? Who's got
Speaker 1: you know what twenty percent approval rating as a party
Speaker 1: for twenty one, I guess was the last number I saw,
Speaker 1: where largely it appears that a lot of the quote
Speaker 1: unquote mushy middle people moved to the right, probably for
Speaker 1: some of your more extremist positions. And David hogs all in,
Speaker 1: so I understand why Carville's looking at it, going this
Speaker 1: is the dumbest thing ever, But of course he's got
Speaker 1: to say it in his own little way.
Speaker 10: Somebody sued David Hogg. He's an officer of the Democratic
Speaker 10: National Committee. He is the vice chairman of Democratic National Committee,
Speaker 10: and he's run against other Democrats. I would like to know,
Speaker 10: and you went to law school, does he have a
Speaker 10: fiduciary duty toward Democrats if I work for if you
Speaker 10: work for News Nation, you can't promote seeing that that's
Speaker 10: if you work for somebody else, you have a fiduciary
Speaker 10: duty to your employer, which anybody can understand. He's being
Speaker 10: paid to run against other Democrats. I think it's an outbreak.
Speaker 10: I'm I don't know if I have standing, but I
Speaker 10: might give the DMC ten dollars and consue him.
Speaker 1: He's a contemptible little twerk.
Speaker 10: If you assueh asked Jim, I'll have you on the
Speaker 10: show to talk about it. I don't know if I
Speaker 10: have and if somebody kept standing, sue.
Speaker 2: His punk ass started right on this show.
Speaker 1: All right, So yeah, yeah, you could gauge from the
Speaker 1: reaction of the News Nation host. Uh his excitement at
Speaker 1: the possibility. It does. It does bring me. Uh, it
Speaker 1: brings me a little relief because, like inevitably, David Hogg
Speaker 1: annoys the crap out of me, but I always wonder
Speaker 1: if it's worth my time, and he if he's not
Speaker 1: just somebody doing his thing. But like with David Hog,
Speaker 1: it cements the idea that he's probably as insufferable even
Speaker 1: if you're quote unquote with him, right and and and
Speaker 1: that's good because you know those people, they're just even
Speaker 1: when they're even when they'reup there saying what you think,
Speaker 1: like I hate that guy talking about this, uh, this,
Speaker 1: this Van Holland trip, although yesterday is really where it culminated.
Speaker 1: So you had the Senator for Maryland very publicly talk
Speaker 1: about how he was going to go to l Salvador
Speaker 1: and he was going to meet with this quote Maryland
Speaker 1: man who was deported because there's no other descriptors to attach.
Speaker 1: And you know he's fighting the good fights, fighting Trump Man,
Speaker 1: and then it was just clown show. He flies all
Speaker 1: the way to El Salvador and he gets there and
Speaker 1: they don't tell him until he gets there. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't meet with him unless and this is literally the
Speaker 1: vice president of El Salvador to his face, unless you
Speaker 1: have a note from the president. We need a note
Speaker 1: from your dad. So we speculated, well, what would Van
Speaker 1: Holland do? Right, go over to the maybe one of
Speaker 1: the handful of resorts they have there on the Pacific side.
Speaker 1: Maybe get a chance to explore some of the historical
Speaker 1: settlements that exist in El Salvador. There are a couple there.
Speaker 1: Maybe go check out the volcanoes they got some of those. No, no,
Speaker 1: none of that. He was not dissuaded. And I love, love, love, love,
Speaker 1: love love his bounce back plan here. It is bart
Speaker 1: is just.
Speaker 9: A gross violation of basic human rights and human decency.
Speaker 9: And you know, I asked the Vice President if I
Speaker 9: came back next week, whether or not I could go
Speaker 9: visit Killmark, and the answer.
Speaker 1: Was no, you couldn't guarantee that.
Speaker 9: I said, Look, I may be the first member of
Speaker 9: Congress here, the first senator, but I can assure you
Speaker 9: more will be coming, and you cannot continue to keep
Speaker 9: this man locked up.
Speaker 1: What a good worst prison in El Salvador, Someone argue
Speaker 1: the worst prison in all of Central America. But yeah,
Speaker 1: who's county do it? Do it? Look, it's not like
Speaker 1: the Democrats have anything on their calendar this weekend, probably
Speaker 1: most of them except the ones that are pretending you
Speaker 1: all should go down there. A fantastic idea. I think
Speaker 1: that that's that's the that's the problem here, not that
Speaker 1: the executive branch handles foreign affairs and you're not in it.
Speaker 1: I think the problem is there are not enough federally
Speaker 1: elected Democrats down there. In fact, ross I was doing
Speaker 1: the math here. I think what we need is what
Speaker 1: was the number, oh all of them to go to
Speaker 1: El Salvador this weekend and stand in solidarity there, and
Speaker 1: I hope, hope, hope that while you are all in
Speaker 1: l Salvador, that the administration doesn't become aware of the
Speaker 1: potential of some sort of easily transmitted respiratory virus perhaps
Speaker 1: from the Salvador area or the triangle as they call
Speaker 1: it there with the three countries, which would then preclude
Speaker 1: the travel of anyone who's been there of coming back
Speaker 1: to the US for public safety, right, because you wouldn't
Speaker 1: want everyone to get the you know, the coughs, right,
Speaker 1: especially as an elected official, Why would you want to
Speaker 1: bring that back to foist upon your constituency. So yeah,
Speaker 1: get them all down there, get a big Kumbaya photo op,
Speaker 1: and then mystery respiratory virus. Nothing we can do tell
Speaker 1: you what, We'll just take fifteen days to think about it.
Speaker 1: But we couldn't possibly repatriate you right now. Just have
Speaker 1: to chill down there. How long, Well, we'll tell you
Speaker 1: fifteen days, but how about I don't know, two years, yesh.
Speaker 1: I give for the kids, remember, just for the safety
Speaker 1: of the kids and the family and everybody else. And hey,
Speaker 1: since you're already over there and they have groups sleeping
Speaker 1: options that would be very convenient in those rooms that
Speaker 1: have sixty four bunks to a room, get a few
Speaker 1: of those. You got Congress all handled be like a
Speaker 1: big slumber party without air conditioning in the middle of
Speaker 1: the jungle. So I have fun with all of that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like your stick to itiveness, sir, And
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely positively how you got to go
Speaker 1: with this thing as a totally unbiased outside advisor just
Speaker 1: trying to help you politic I think that's that's the
Speaker 1: direction you want to go. Okay, all right, very good,
Speaker 1: speaking of people that might be ending up sleeping in
Speaker 1: a prison. So this dude was getting some pub yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm calling him Captain Bunny ears Ross. Did you see
Speaker 1: the guy's profile photo with this PhD student where he's
Speaker 1: wearing like free ears on his head.
Speaker 2: No I miss that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well it makes some extra intimidating. So if
Speaker 1: civil war does kick off, I'm gonna make Captain Bunny
Speaker 1: Ears your project. I feel like you, I feel like
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have any problem with him. That's the thing
Speaker 1: about revolutionaries. Some of them are in it. They're willing
Speaker 1: to you know, do their own you know, execution squads
Speaker 1: and things like that. I'm not enjoying the commitment to horribleness.
Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out they're not afraid to get their
Speaker 1: hands dirty. I don't think this du dude wants to
Speaker 1: get in one fight with anybody, but he sure wants
Speaker 1: them to happen. Nicholas Decker, a PhD student at George
Speaker 1: Mason University or PhD candidate I guess that's the term
Speaker 1: at George Mason University, had finally had enough. He had
Speaker 1: he had hit the end of his rope, His TDS
Speaker 1: had boiled over, and so he decided to not just
Speaker 1: write a whole web article about it entitled when must
Speaker 1: we Kill Them? Which is a little innocuous, right, because
Speaker 1: that could be that could be like somebody calling for
Speaker 1: essentially genocide all the way down to how to how
Speaker 1: to treat those tiny ants that invade your kitchen as
Speaker 1: things get warmer, not the ones you can see, of
Speaker 1: the ones you almost can't see, Like, where the hell
Speaker 1: are those guys all the rest of the years? What's
Speaker 1: going on there? Why is there a billion in my
Speaker 1: kitchen right now? And then like when should we kill them? Well?
Speaker 1: That's now, that's a home improvement article. Unfortunately for Decker,
Speaker 1: he yielded not quite into genocide, but into this in
Speaker 1: both an article and then eventually a post on Twitter
Speaker 1: which got added to the FBI and Secret Service a
Speaker 1: million times. He wrote, the ultimate source of political power
Speaker 1: is and always will be violence. If the president administration
Speaker 1: should continue on its course, there is no choice but war.
Speaker 1: I say this out of sorrow. When must we kill them? Well?
Speaker 1: Alrighty then? And also I also love the part where
Speaker 1: essentially his beasts with Trump are all hallmarks of the
Speaker 1: Biden administration. That's not lost on me. But yeah, he
Speaker 1: threw this thing up there. I guess. I guess he
Speaker 1: probably doesn't want to be a George Mason University PhD student,
Speaker 1: because he's literally in this talking about the rationale which
Speaker 1: he clearly thinks is there because he keeps saying things
Speaker 1: like if they don't change course, So if they just
Speaker 1: stick to literally doing the things that voters elected him
Speaker 1: to do, that's good enough to go start a fool
Speaker 1: on war. Are you ready for this? And I don't
Speaker 1: want to just discount it too, because it's not all
Speaker 1: lunatics and Bunny Years that are going to get one
Speaker 1: shot and should you know that ro Shambeau ever break out,
Speaker 1: but rather there are a lot of very violent people
Speaker 1: that are very good at being violent within the ranks
Speaker 1: of the the militant far left. So I mean the
Speaker 1: their stick to itiveness and trying to burn that federal
Speaker 1: building down was one hundred nights in a row and
Speaker 1: he didn't get this wayed. He just kept coming back,
Speaker 1: all right. But I don't think I don't this is
Speaker 1: you know this this whole Uh? Do you think this
Speaker 1: is a flex and intimidates people? Will you just wait?
Speaker 1: You just wait till me and my friends who probably
Speaker 1: also posing Bunny Years for a profile, You just you
Speaker 1: wait until we get enough. Remember that video of where
Speaker 1: they had like leftists these like and they're all like
Speaker 1: real thin leftists who were out like combat training in
Speaker 1: the Woods, except it where it was far sadder than
Speaker 1: even that Venezuelan Special Forces video, which we all laughed
Speaker 1: at hilariously on the show for quite some time. One day, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we're out there. You don't want to
Speaker 1: meet these fists. I'm like, I would I know if
Speaker 1: I met that fist, or would I just hear a
Speaker 1: cracking sound in my periphery of your hand all being
Speaker 1: broken at the same time, Because I feel like there's
Speaker 1: a possible especially if I had a couple, might be
Speaker 1: the second one. But now this guy's like, all right,
Speaker 1: we don't have a choice if they do things like
Speaker 1: jail their political opponents. Huh so ready to go to
Speaker 1: war for that? Oh now you are okay. You weren't before,
Speaker 1: but now you are okay. Good. So the whole things
Speaker 1: are crazy. Read man, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: read it a little manifesto, but you get the gist
Speaker 1: of what was going on there, and it doesn't appear
Speaker 1: to be going well for him, judging by some of
Speaker 1: these changes people were posting with the university there not
Speaker 1: so impressed. All right, seven forty four, We're not all special,
Speaker 1: like mister Stagic so we're here, we're doing our thing,
Speaker 1: and Jeff Maher from the Weather Channel is here to
Speaker 1: help us do it. Jeff, how you doing today, sir?
Speaker 1: Doing wonderful? How are you like? How do you got
Speaker 1: to be a chief meteorologist to get all this time off?
Speaker 8: I don't even know that works. Apparently I'll be talking
Speaker 8: to get next Friday. So apparently it's a Friday thing
Speaker 8: in the area.
Speaker 1: Because that was Oh, how nice for him? How'd you
Speaker 1: like to have every Friday off during the summer months.
Speaker 1: That'd be great?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we got a toil, so let's toil. What
Speaker 1: do we got?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we've got some drying, warm weather right on through
Speaker 8: the Easter weekend. We'll stay warm into Monday, and then
Speaker 8: we'll get some needed rainfall starting on Tuesday. It looks
Speaker 8: like next week and into the middle portion of next week.
Speaker 8: In the meantime, clear this morning, a lot of sun
Speaker 8: this afternoon, whins will pick up out of the south.
Speaker 8: The high headed to eighty three, clear tonight down to
Speaker 8: sixty one. How about a high of eighty nine tomorrow
Speaker 8: with sunshine and then clouds rolling Tomorrow night was still
Speaker 8: dry with the low sixty four. The Outloy for Easter
Speaker 8: on Sunday. A mix of clouds and sunshine. Still on
Speaker 8: the warm side, up to eighty eight and partly it's
Speaker 8: mostly cloudy Monday or behind your eighty seven degrees.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll chat with Jeff once again in the
Speaker 1: next hour. Thank you, sir, sure, and we will take
Speaker 1: a break. Reminder coming up eight oh five peak calender
Speaker 1: will join us. Uh oh, and for the empty time,
Speaker 1: scientists think they found more aliens. Although it is I
Speaker 1: will say it's a unique and interesting bit of reasoning here.
Speaker 1: It's you know, a lot of times it's just they
Speaker 1: found a Goldilocks planet and they're like, oh, we found
Speaker 1: this planet that could feasibly it's within the realm. This
Speaker 1: is different what their claiming is going on here, but
Speaker 1: also reminded me of something, so we'll get into the
Speaker 1: next Here on the CaCO Day Radio program, a goofy
Speaker 1: story that some guy in Florida's last name is Cocaine.
Speaker 1: We're just here to mock that dude, Okay, but I'm
Speaker 1: talking things, right. I have to assess what I really
Speaker 1: feel about it, and sometimes I'm not able to in
Speaker 1: the proper sense because it's not a thing that I've
Speaker 1: ever dealt with, or have any familiarity with, or a
Speaker 1: situation that Frank I, you know, it is profoundly and
Speaker 1: currently problematic for me. So but I still try to
Speaker 1: think it through, and sometimes I get it wrong. So
Speaker 1: I saw a story earlier this week where a couple
Speaker 1: was complaining that some of their fellow hotel guests called
Speaker 1: the police on them, and I listened to it, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe they shouldn't have called the police on these people.
Speaker 1: Is what they're doing really that wrong? And I was
Speaker 1: actually surprised that I ran up by Ross and he's immediately, now,
Speaker 1: you didn't say called the police, but immediately you disagree
Speaker 1: with the parent's decision to leave their kid where they
Speaker 1: left their kid, right, I'm gonna give the details here.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I couldn't approach it from a parent standpoint
Speaker 1: because I don't know. But the story is this, So
Speaker 1: they're staying at a hotel and the hotel has a
Speaker 1: restaurant in the lobby, okay, like a bar restaurant, you know,
Speaker 1: just a standard I don't know if it's a Marriott
Speaker 1: or whatever. But so they're staying there and they have
Speaker 1: their they have their baby and so they go up
Speaker 1: to the room. They get one of the cribs too, right,
Speaker 1: you get the baby crib there from some hotels, and
Speaker 1: they get the baby all, you know, fed and burped
Speaker 1: and cleaned and all the stuff that you do, and
Speaker 1: then they put little little Timmy down to sleep. And
Speaker 1: because it's modern technology, they have literally their baby monitor
Speaker 1: with them, which they can watch on the phone. So
Speaker 1: once the kid is asleep, it's probably you know, like
Speaker 1: seven eight o'clock based on the actual cold time, that'd
Speaker 1: be about righting. So they head down. They they literally
Speaker 1: make sure the babies asleep, they get the camera on
Speaker 1: the baby, they go one floor down to the lobby
Speaker 1: and they go into the restaurant there and they're getting
Speaker 1: dinner and dinner and drinks or maybe just dinner. I
Speaker 1: don't know what all they consumed. However, where they are seated,
Speaker 1: they have the baby monitor basically have a phone propped up,
Speaker 1: you know, in the little like watch the movie mode
Speaker 1: with a little flip up kickstand and it's the baby monitor.
Speaker 1: And one of the other patrons, I guess, puts it
Speaker 1: together that they're eating there, there's no baby insight, but
Speaker 1: they're watching a baby on the monitor, they call police.
Speaker 1: Now me, I'm just like, yeah, is that any different
Speaker 1: than if you the baby's room is upstairs and you
Speaker 1: and your spouse are sitting there watching a movie downstairs,
Speaker 1: but with the baby monitors, so that if there's a problem.
Speaker 2: One of you can go handle it completely, okay, because
Speaker 2: because people are crazy, I don't trust people at the hotel.
Speaker 2: We have these stories all the time. Somebody tries to
Speaker 2: break in and steal your baby or do something to
Speaker 2: your baby. People are nuts. You know, what could happen.
Speaker 1: Usually there to peep ony, like the weird dude who
Speaker 1: is hiding under the cross baby.
Speaker 2: And you're downstairs, so it's going to take you a
Speaker 2: while to get back to that room. And you know,
Speaker 2: babies tend to throw up. So if this baby rolls
Speaker 2: over or or or you know, it starts choking on
Speaker 2: its vomit and you need to go help the baby,
Speaker 2: good luck. By the time you get up there, you
Speaker 2: have to get up, you have to get in the elevator,
Speaker 2: you have to go up stair away. You know, my my,
Speaker 2: my immediate reaction to that is awful. Would never do it,
Speaker 2: wouldn't even I.
Speaker 1: Can't even argue with you because I have no I
Speaker 1: have no point to argue from. I was just surprised
Speaker 1: because your reaction was very visceral.
Speaker 2: Oh completely, yeah, I'm like, that's bad. Would I would
Speaker 2: not even do There's so many things that could possibly
Speaker 2: go wrong. Plus I would don't want to be that
Speaker 2: far away from my kids just in case. Like I
Speaker 2: just like I said, it's a visceral physical reaction.
Speaker 1: If that far away, like a big house, any.
Speaker 2: Stuff happens, man, and and listen, if Marky was away
Speaker 2: from work and I was like, you know, there's just
Speaker 2: a we have a corner store right there. Wait right,
Speaker 2: it's like less than a you know, it's like what
Speaker 2: maybe like two minute walk away. If I'm like Marky
Speaker 2: Lincoln was up in his in his bedroom in his crib,
Speaker 2: and I had the monitor while I walk because you know,
Speaker 2: the signal goes that far. And I walked to the
Speaker 2: store and I got some beer and came back. That's cool, right,
Speaker 2: you know, I kept I kept the house locked. There's
Speaker 2: no way that would be acceptable, and it shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: But but but you've left the premises there, like I
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them, I'm gonna give them all the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt for the for any version of this,
Speaker 1: what if they had they could see their door, right,
Speaker 1: because I've been if you go to like an embassy
Speaker 1: suite time they had that centered like jungle lobby, and
Speaker 1: then they have the stairs up towards like if you're
Speaker 1: on that first floor, if you could see your door
Speaker 1: from there, and and you got your baby monitor. I
Speaker 1: don't understand how that's remarkably different than being in your
Speaker 1: house other than the fact that yes, there.
Speaker 2: Are I don't know your door and I'm and I
Speaker 2: my door locked, and them in my living room while
Speaker 2: we're watching Netflix. We have these stories. Remember the one
Speaker 2: we had, the one where the tiny dude was hiding
Speaker 2: under the bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was a cruise ship one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no way, no possible way.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because also one of the things
Speaker 1: that we talk about on the show a lot is
Speaker 1: once that baby turned six, in our generation, they were
Speaker 1: good to go walk around the neighborhood unattended, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Not now, not now. So it's it's
Speaker 1: it's interesting to chat with our radio buddy to the
Speaker 1: South Middays WBT. It is one Pete Calender who is
Speaker 1: not a fan of using astronauts to describe the women's
Speaker 1: space travelers. How are you doing, Pete?
Speaker 3: I am doing all right. How are you today?
Speaker 1: I good good. I noticed this was one of the
Speaker 1: hill you wanted to die on this week. Pushing back
Speaker 1: using the astronaut, I think we're all in unison for
Speaker 1: the most part. I haven't heard a real good argument
Speaker 1: why it should be except from Gail King, who's upset.
Speaker 1: Did you see Gail King's upset?
Speaker 3: Isn't she always upset? Though?
Speaker 1: Oh but she's super upset. Baby. I don't hold hold
Speaker 1: on here, let me play the audio for it.
Speaker 7: I don't like that people are calling it a ride.
Speaker 7: A ride. You know, you never see a man, a
Speaker 7: male astronaut who's going up in space, and they said, oh,
Speaker 7: we took a ride. We actually duplicated the route that
Speaker 7: Alan Shepherd did. That's why it's called this particular capsule
Speaker 7: is called the New Shepherd. We duplicated that route, that route.
Speaker 7: No one said he took that ride. It's always referred to.
Speaker 1: As a I can't a couple that who didn't like
Speaker 1: the term mankind, and it just gets it's so insufferable.
Speaker 1: Except the difference is that woman was an astronaut and
Speaker 1: if I could suggest, and I'm curious your thoughts, so
Speaker 1: let me suggest migrate because people are like, well, how
Speaker 1: do you delineate the two? And I think I thought
Speaker 1: of a way if after the initial launch, the capsule
Speaker 1: or rocket or whatever you're in had the possibility, if
Speaker 1: left to its own devices, of either staying and stationary orbit,
Speaker 1: or of traveling further outside. Now we're getting into astronaut territory.
Speaker 1: But if the only thing that possibly could happen with
Speaker 1: your capsule, if left, you know, turn all the engines off,
Speaker 1: is that it falls back to Earth, then you never
Speaker 1: left Earth? Is that unacceptable? Would you say that's an
Speaker 1: acceptable dividing line there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's that. I mean, there is actually a term
Speaker 3: for this. I think they call it something like spaceflight,
Speaker 3: a spaceflight participant or something. The FAA actually has a
Speaker 3: description of what these women did, and I'm not minimizing that.
Speaker 3: You know, look, it takes courage to go up in there.
Speaker 3: You don't know what's going to happen with that thing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but the fact that like, here's here's my standard. If
Speaker 3: you have to go through minimum one month worth of
Speaker 3: training to learn how to fly the craft, then you're
Speaker 3: an astronaut, right, that's it, Like you have to have
Speaker 3: a month's worth of training flying the craft in order
Speaker 3: to be called an astronut or as I call them,
Speaker 3: astro knots, because they're not. And I'm just not a
Speaker 3: fan of them claiming credit to be a thing that
Speaker 3: they are not. I have no problem with them doing it.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people were complaining about, you know,
Speaker 3: this is some photo op or whatever. Yeah, I'm okay
Speaker 3: with it. I've been okay with private space flight from
Speaker 3: the beginning. I want all of the ingenuity and engineering
Speaker 3: eggheads to go out there and get us, you know,
Speaker 3: more into space. I'm totally fine with all of that.
Speaker 3: But I just I bristle, if you will, at the
Speaker 3: use of the term astronaut, because it puts them, it
Speaker 3: elevates them to the to the same level as people
Speaker 3: who actually underwent, you know, massive amounts of training, had
Speaker 3: to learn how to fly the craft and what to
Speaker 3: do in all the various situations and all of that.
Speaker 3: I mean, remember the most famous astronaut, Tom Hanks. He
Speaker 3: was doing like calculus with a pencil while floating around
Speaker 3: the moon. I mean, that's an astronaut.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one, I'm with you man and uh and
Speaker 1: and to your point that it's a fun ride is good.
Speaker 1: It's good. It's it arguably is probably the greatest thrill
Speaker 1: wide thrill ride on the planet right now, sure, or
Speaker 1: kind of off of it, And every time they do it,
Speaker 1: it makes the idea of space travel or anything approaching
Speaker 1: it safer and less expensive. It is just the history
Speaker 1: of literally everything. When car first came out, you and
Speaker 1: I were buying a carpet. When their commercial airline stuff
Speaker 1: was going on, you and I were buying a ticket.
Speaker 1: Most people were now, but eventually it went from the
Speaker 1: days of you know, dudes in suits with full martini
Speaker 1: glasses to the absolute healthscape that is you trying to
Speaker 1: put a bag to not pay that the frontier lady
Speaker 1: ten dollars, even though it clearly fits in the square,
Speaker 1: it fits what's going on here.
Speaker 3: So it's amazing. The economic illiteracy. It's actually not amazing.
Speaker 3: It's pretty on brand for us, but it's it's the
Speaker 3: economic illiteracy. Every single technology goes through this same sort.
Speaker 3: It's an S curve basically right where you've got the
Speaker 3: innovation occurs. Few people adopted a couple of early adopters,
Speaker 3: but the price is so high because the technology is
Speaker 3: so new and they're trying to recoup the costs of
Speaker 3: the research and development or whatever. And then you get
Speaker 3: the curve starts going up as more and more people
Speaker 3: start doing it, prices start coming down, it becomes more accessive.
Speaker 3: All the any kind of stereotypes that created barriers against
Speaker 3: the innovation, they start falling, and then you have, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, the explosion of use, and then it levels
Speaker 3: out to whatever that norm would be. And that's what
Speaker 3: this is. So there's there's no problem. I have no
Speaker 3: problem with the with the ride or the flight or
Speaker 3: whatever Gail King wants to call it. My only objection
Speaker 3: was calling these these members of the space tourist flight,
Speaker 3: because that's what they are. They are space tourists, and
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. I don't say that to denigrate them.
Speaker 3: I just I just reject the label of astronaut because
Speaker 3: I think words should mean things, and we should all
Speaker 3: understand what the word means when we use the word
Speaker 3: to apply to a category of people. Also, what was
Speaker 3: with the spacesuits? Why did they have to wear the
Speaker 3: skin tight zipper? Things like, come.
Speaker 1: On, there's stuff that's criticizable, and then maybe there's some
Speaker 1: stuff it's not worth your time. Just let it be.
Speaker 1: I know, Katy Perry talk about how they were putting
Speaker 1: the ass an astronaut. You can't do that without that's fair.
Speaker 1: Tight space suits, Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3: No, I just yeah, it's it's one of those things
Speaker 3: where I wonder, you know, if it was a bunch
Speaker 3: of men to channel my inner Gail King, if it
Speaker 3: was a bunch of men, would they have gone up
Speaker 3: there in the like ress skin suits as well?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if have you seen
Speaker 1: some of the pants the dudes were the gym's now
Speaker 1: basically Lululemon stuff ross. Is that a fair description? I
Speaker 1: don't even know how to describe it. They're just they
Speaker 1: don't look like dude pants, and they're they're outside the
Speaker 1: fact that even one person's wearing it means they're too popular.
Speaker 1: So there's that now to be fair, and again because
Speaker 1: we try to be fair here, Yeah, Katie Perry did
Speaker 1: more than just you know, you know, do some training
Speaker 1: for a month, right. I don't know if you heard
Speaker 1: her interview on how she prepped for this, because she
Speaker 1: wanted to understand all of the aspects of spaceflight. Here
Speaker 1: she is in an interview just Day's Books.
Speaker 7: I don't like that people are calling it.
Speaker 5: Sorry if I click here, we go about the engineering
Speaker 5: of it all. I'm excited to learn more about STEM
Speaker 5: and just the math about how.
Speaker 2: What it takes.
Speaker 5: To accomplish this type of thing. I was winding down
Speaker 5: from a rehearsal the other day and I was listening
Speaker 5: to Cosmos by Carl Sagan and reading a book on
Speaker 5: string theory, and yeah, it was like going.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, So she read a whole book on string theory.
Speaker 1: Pete nice, Have you read a book on string theory?
Speaker 3: No? I take it back, she's an astronaut, now.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all the other string theory unless you're unless
Speaker 1: you think the rocket might jump you in the multiverse.
Speaker 1: I'm not understanding how this is helpful for you.
Speaker 3: Well, we don't know which strings she's talking about. It
Speaker 3: could be strings off of a musical instrument or something.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe when she's talking about women in STEM
Speaker 1: and then I see her holding the daisy, I assume
Speaker 1: she got it wrong, right right, Oh yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, it's a it's a publicity stunt. I thought
Speaker 3: I thought one of them had the greatest opportunity ever
Speaker 3: to get you know, just as you're about to, you know,
Speaker 3: break out of the the bonds of Earth, and then
Speaker 3: you just declare yourself to be a man, that you
Speaker 3: have transitioned, And that would have just ruined the entire thing.
Speaker 3: That would have been a classic troll because I'm identifying
Speaker 3: as a man now. So this is not the first
Speaker 3: all female crew ship. And that's the other one too.
Speaker 3: They're not crew. They were not the crew. So you
Speaker 3: can't call that the crew because it was it was
Speaker 3: flown by you know, somebody else in a.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but what if there have been a problem.
Speaker 1: You don't think that six women in a capsule, if
Speaker 1: there was a problem, would be easily able to explain
Speaker 1: and identify the problem. Perhaps the ground control possibly men. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't think they because some people were fearful. They'd
Speaker 1: be like nothing, nothing's wrong, and they're like, we we're
Speaker 1: having a master alarm. We have a master alarm. I
Speaker 1: need to know what's going on. Is everything okay? Like
Speaker 1: it's fine, everything's fine.
Speaker 3: Well, she would rely on her expertise from the string
Speaker 3: theory book to identify, right the problem Now, I did
Speaker 3: hear that they when they were turned when the ship
Speaker 3: came back or the capsule or whatever landed and Jeff
Speaker 3: Bezos was running around it and face planted into the desert.
Speaker 3: By the way, the tip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, check out the rocket before it's all separated. You'll
Speaker 1: understand anyway.
Speaker 3: I gotcha. Well, my understanding is that when it did return,
Speaker 3: there was a bit of a dent and a scrape
Speaker 3: in the back left quarter panel that nobody. Nobody knew
Speaker 3: how they got that.
Speaker 1: I did hear him screaming like it's a rollercoaster on
Speaker 1: the way down. But then I really I might do that,
Speaker 1: so I probably shouldn't make fun.
Speaker 3: Of them, right, And also, like if you're gonna go
Speaker 3: up like a firework, Katy Perry referenced there, you do want,
Speaker 3: Katy Perry, I would think, like when you're up and
Speaker 3: then if something does go wrong, like you want, I
Speaker 3: would think you would want her to sing as long
Speaker 3: as I think she has the auto tune with her,
Speaker 3: then I think, like you would want that would be
Speaker 3: a nice thing.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's not fair. She did sing. She's sang up there.
Speaker 1: Gail Kingslan who told everyone about him. Yeah, but she's
Speaker 1: sang wonderful world, wonderful world. Yep, yeah, all right, hey,
Speaker 1: quick question. I even though he is he's getting the meeting,
Speaker 1: or he got the meeting, I took some sort of
Speaker 1: diabolical pleasure in watching the timeline of the Senator Van
Speaker 1: Holland trip to El Salvador. Yeah, because he made this
Speaker 1: big show I'm gonna go down and do this. Who's
Speaker 1: with me? And at first they're like, nobody's with you?
Speaker 1: And he went and then he sat on the flight
Speaker 1: down there, and only when he got there is he
Speaker 1: met with a statement from the Vice President and it says, no,
Speaker 1: you cannot meet him unless you have a note from
Speaker 1: your dad. Basically Trump's, you know, Trump and the Department's
Speaker 1: going to sign off. And I thought that was that
Speaker 1: was intentional, funny, nasty. And then he was threatening that
Speaker 1: all the Democrats are going to go down there, which
Speaker 1: I feel like probably now it's screwed up because they
Speaker 1: gave him the meeting. I wanted this to happen so
Speaker 1: that when they got down there, the White House could
Speaker 1: identify a mystery respiratory illness of some sort, thus causing
Speaker 1: the non repatriation of people by the country during a
Speaker 1: brief pause that could extend the two years. So real
Speaker 1: missed opportunity is my roundabout thing on this peak.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or just have them, you know, have the president Bouquela,
Speaker 3: give him a tour of the prison and then you know,
Speaker 3: just lose the keys as there would have been a
Speaker 3: troll that would have been all but no. And did
Speaker 3: you see that the president Yeah, he said, uh he
Speaker 3: put out a tweet. O. Kaylee put out a tweet
Speaker 3: that said, uh, this a Brego Garcia guy, miraculously risen
Speaker 3: from the death camps and torture, now sipping Margarita's with
Speaker 3: Senator Van Holland in the tropical paradise of El Salvador.
Speaker 1: Yeah, make it anywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I kind of feel like that they may
Speaker 3: have that they may have done themselves no favors on this. Uh,
Speaker 3: Democrats in general, but specifically Risen Holland. I'm I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure we're going to see that photo of him dining
Speaker 3: with a Brego Garcia at a hotel. So they did
Speaker 3: let him out, apparently of the of the supermax prison
Speaker 3: so they could enjoy a drink together, and then I
Speaker 3: guess they put them back into the prison. But I
Speaker 3: don't know, and I suspect we're going to see that
Speaker 3: photo emerge on the campaign trail in the midterms and
Speaker 3: in the next presidential race.
Speaker 1: I think they get there there because Van Holland got
Speaker 1: on the ground. He's like, oh my gosh, look at
Speaker 1: I'm in El Salvador. I'm not leaving the hotel. So
Speaker 1: that's the way it works.
Speaker 3: Now it's safe. Now, it's safe now.
Speaker 7: You know it.
Speaker 1: And actually that is the from a number standpoint, that
Speaker 1: is true because anyone, especially if you're a tourist, they
Speaker 1: like in these countries, these vacation destination kind now that
Speaker 1: El Salvador is, but like you get into the Bahamas
Speaker 1: and those you get into like Jamaica. Yeah, places like that,
Speaker 1: you can pretty much stab your fellow countrymen all you want.
Speaker 1: I'm not this is not a hard and fast rule.
Speaker 1: But now of course with you you you mess with
Speaker 1: the tourists, the they'll rain hell fire down on you.
Speaker 3: Right. They need that inflow of cash. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: the that's the revenue generation machine for these countries.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's like that's why they tell you don't leave
Speaker 3: the grounds of the resort, you know, because once you
Speaker 3: go outside the grounds of the resort, and then things
Speaker 3: get a little dicey. But every you know, all the
Speaker 3: criminals outside the resort, No, you don't go into the
Speaker 3: resort because that's usually like a gang or a cartel
Speaker 3: or the government will come and, yeah, rain hell fire
Speaker 3: on you for doing that, because that would then create,
Speaker 3: you know, the perception that it's no longer safe to
Speaker 3: go vacation in that particular place. But I understand, like
Speaker 3: I can understand different elements of these arguments regarding this case.
Speaker 3: I don't agree with him, but I can understand the arguments.
Speaker 3: The why I don't understand is this idea that he
Speaker 3: should not have been deported. I understand the argument that
Speaker 3: he should not have been deported to El Salvador. I
Speaker 3: understand that argument because the judge literally said, don't send
Speaker 3: him there.
Speaker 1: No, no, no. But really, let me just run this
Speaker 1: by you and the devil's avocation, because to accept the
Speaker 1: argument and the reason the one judge said that he
Speaker 1: couldn't be deported El Salvador would require you to accept
Speaker 1: the fact that he is, in fact an MS thirteen
Speaker 1: gang member correct predicated on Barrio eighteen, a competing gang
Speaker 1: correct wanting to murder this dude when he hit the ground.
Speaker 1: So also more if he's our but he and his
Speaker 1: lawyer are saying he's not a gang member, and so
Speaker 1: if you take that face value, then the previous ruling
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been made because it doesn't matter twenty two
Speaker 1: for them, No, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I don't think any of that matters because he got
Speaker 3: he got his he got his first hearing. Hey, please
Speaker 3: don't deport because remember the initial issue here is that
Speaker 3: he is in the country illegally and that they found
Speaker 3: permission evidence, even with the downplaying by his lawyer, which
Speaker 3: now we have new information that has been coming out
Speaker 3: over the last forty eight hours that does tie him
Speaker 3: to MS thirteen. And so no, he faced due process.
Speaker 3: He had his two you know, appearances, both judges said
Speaker 3: deport him. Now where the administration messed up was they
Speaker 3: sent him to El Salvador. I think the whole thing
Speaker 3: can get solved, but just you should have sent then
Speaker 3: Holland down there with a bus ticket and just drive
Speaker 3: him across a border someplace, or we go down pick
Speaker 3: him up and spam his soma.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Pe.
Speaker 1: We got to leave it there in your diabolical plane.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk next week and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm still going to make fun of this dude,
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna make fun of him for the
Speaker 1: reason you think I'm gonna make fun of him. And
Speaker 1: that's the twist. Ross text you to the story. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you had seen it there, but do
Speaker 1: do all right, this is great man, bank robber, bank
Speaker 1: robber captured in rock Hill with a cat on his back.
Speaker 1: You got, yeah, yeah, I decided to go rob a
Speaker 1: PNC bank and he had a backpack, but not a
Speaker 1: regular backpack, because when I tell you there's a cat
Speaker 1: and a backpacker, you're like, well, that's kind of mean
Speaker 1: because the cat's probably not backpack's got to be going
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour. But it's one of those
Speaker 1: see through with the airhole things, the pet carrier backpacks,
Speaker 1: so you can see the cat and the cat and
Speaker 1: out the whole time.
Speaker 2: We just got one of those.
Speaker 1: Oh do you have one?
Speaker 2: So here's the deal, So we have two cats, right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Eleanor was left on the streets by herself and with
Speaker 2: her kittens and stuff, and it was a horrible story. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And she has no interest in ever leaving the house.
Speaker 2: So when the door opens, she's like hell, She's like, Nope,
Speaker 2: been there, done that. I'm going to stay inside this
Speaker 2: nice house and enjoy my life. Elliott, we've had him
Speaker 2: send as a kittenstic eater. This is the dumb cat,
Speaker 2: and he's adorable, but he's an idiot. He loves boxes
Speaker 2: right from Amazon and anything plastic. He wants to eat it.
Speaker 2: But he's he's lovable, but he's dumb right inside cat
Speaker 2: his whole life, his entire life. So every now and again,
Speaker 2: when we come home, we'll open the door and he
Speaker 2: likes to sneak past and run outside, and he sort
Speaker 2: of flops outside, but then he gets out there, like
Speaker 2: we're not really concerned about him running away. When he
Speaker 2: does this, we'll pick him up and we'll put him back,
Speaker 2: but we're not concerned because what he does is he
Speaker 2: runs out like, oh, I'm outside, and then he chows
Speaker 2: on the grass and he looks around like gona, oh,
Speaker 2: but what what is going on? And he just freaks
Speaker 2: out and he stays there because he's overwhelmed by it all.
Speaker 2: So we pick him up and we put it back in.
Speaker 2: So Marky brought this this backpack thing home a few
Speaker 2: weeks or she ordered it. I was like, what is
Speaker 2: this stupid thing? And she's like, she's like, it's for Elliott,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what do you mean. She goes, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna put him on my back and I'm gonna gi
Speaker 2: him a walk around the yard so we don't have
Speaker 2: to worry about him being an idiot or running away
Speaker 2: or getting hit by something or being attacked by something
Speaker 2: because he's a moron. And we're like, oh okay. So
Speaker 2: I'm like, let me see how this is gonna go.
Speaker 2: So she puts it on her back and she puts
Speaker 2: the cat in and he absolutely loves the thing. He
Speaker 2: loves the thing and he's sitting there. So the fear
Speaker 2: he has that when he you know, when he gets
Speaker 2: in the grass and Ah is gone and he can
Speaker 2: just relax in the back and he's nearest Marky, so
Speaker 2: he knows he's he knows he's gonna be safe because
Speaker 2: he has no you know, eleanor the other ca has
Speaker 2: street smarts. He has no street smarts and he would
Speaker 2: be devoured or gone money ice game, completely, yeah, completely,
Speaker 2: So he just chills in the bag, looks around. She
Speaker 2: goes for a walk, she gets quote her steps into
Speaker 2: right around the backyard or whatever, gets some exercise, and
Speaker 2: she comes in and he enjoys it.
Speaker 1: She has lady carrying a cat around in a backpack
Speaker 1: in the backyard.
Speaker 2: It's our own property.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I thought she was walking around the backyard.
Speaker 2: Just the backyard. He enjoys it. He absolutely loves it.
Speaker 2: And I'm all right, whatever he enjoys, it's fine.
Speaker 1: Do you think this is a good use though, of
Speaker 1: the backpack?
Speaker 2: I mean it's specifically made for that, like the air
Speaker 2: holes and stuff.
Speaker 1: Right, No, no, no, but I mean taking the cat
Speaker 1: then on your bank robbery adventure.
Speaker 2: Oh that no?
Speaker 1: Oh, well that's what I thought.
Speaker 2: Unless it's weaponized.
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't have to be weaponized. I think it's
Speaker 1: a deterurn cat. Right. So, if you're a law enforcement
Speaker 1: officer in this day and age, right, what is the
Speaker 1: term that we use for officers who may not choose
Speaker 1: to engage in the same with the same level of
Speaker 1: aggressiveness that they would have in the past, even in
Speaker 1: their own detriment in some cases, remember, it's called the
Speaker 1: Ferguson effect, right, where it's like, ah, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, you don't want to, right, you don't be
Speaker 2: the guy that's going to be in the news, so
Speaker 2: you just avoid it, all right.
Speaker 1: So you also don't want to be the guy that
Speaker 1: shoots the bank robber but shoots the cat, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's like a human shield, but it's a cat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I was inspired by this. You know how
Speaker 1: much a good set of body armor is, Like if
Speaker 1: you wanted to recreate what happened in that North Hollywood
Speaker 1: bank robbery, right, it's an ungodly summ of money. You
Speaker 1: know how much? You know how much enough cats to
Speaker 1: cover your body and shield your body as a weapons
Speaker 1: defense system would.
Speaker 2: Cost three cats there, like a diamond dozen.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. You just go get the free cats because
Speaker 1: you know they're just there so people don't shoot or
Speaker 1: tase you.
Speaker 2: I was looking into the cost of templar armor.
Speaker 1: Okay, as most people do regularly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would know the market. I was in the
Speaker 2: shower and I for some reason, my mind started wandering
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, it would be really cool
Speaker 2: to have some templar armor.
Speaker 1: That's for good ideas shtrike. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I got out, you know, and I'm searching the
Speaker 2: web and there's a company that sells templar quote templar
Speaker 2: armor uh in England and it was like a good
Speaker 2: whole body suit for like thirty six hundred pounds from
Speaker 2: real templars. I don't think so, oh, but it was.
Speaker 2: It was one size fits all and I only wear
Speaker 2: tailored armor. Yeah, I mean, you know, because that's a
Speaker 2: bad quatur. I believe it's the word rights pronouncing right.
Speaker 2: But then then the tariffs, so now it's more expensive,
Speaker 2: So I'm going to pass for now. But yeah, the
Speaker 2: cats would be cheaper, yeah.
Speaker 1: One hundred and right. And then if you do get
Speaker 1: a shootout and they're like, oh, I got a hold
Speaker 1: in my armor, then you go get some more free
Speaker 1: armor filler. Right, just catch the neighbors overwhelmed with the
Speaker 1: kitten berths or go to the pound on the free day.
Speaker 1: Nice sir, we need twelve cats. I didn't read the
Speaker 1: article on this on on the on the show yesterday
Speaker 1: that the article the email I got. Remember yesterday we
Speaker 1: were talking about bunnies, Easter bunny stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: so one off our listeners said that he used to
Speaker 1: hang out with his grandpa right back in the day
Speaker 1: and one day Grandpa says, hey, we're gonna go We're
Speaker 1: gonna go get some We're gonna get some rabbits. And
Speaker 1: there was a woman I guess in town. He was
Speaker 1: advertising free rabbits. Because I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 1: they tend to if you have two rabbits, you really
Speaker 1: have one hundred rabbits. Just wait a minute. And so
Speaker 1: Grandpa takes his grandson, who I firmly believe he took
Speaker 1: the grandson to sell the woman on the story. It
Speaker 1: switches diabolical as well, if I could just use that
Speaker 1: word again today. And he says, his grandpa took him
Speaker 1: to this lady's house explain to the woman that for
Speaker 1: Easter he was wanting to give each of his grandchildren
Speaker 1: a rabbit. And she saw the little boy there. She's like,
Speaker 1: all right, this sounds like it's on the up and up.
Speaker 1: So grandpa says, she said, well, how many grandkids do
Speaker 1: you have? I believe it was ten or twelve, So
Speaker 1: what the guy said, So the woman's like, all right,
Speaker 1: here's ten or twelve rabbits for the for the kids,
Speaker 1: for the grandkids. And then our emailer said that they
Speaker 1: went back to Grandpa's place, and he started braining them,
Speaker 1: skinning them and uh and basically, uh, he's just got
Speaker 1: a bunch of free meat. And apparently it's stuck with
Speaker 1: our our listener. But like, look at grandpa. The only
Speaker 1: he had to drag the kid along to sell his
Speaker 1: story was willing to do it. Man. So I'm just saying, right,
Speaker 1: animals serve purposes in a lot of different ways, and
Speaker 1: I think a body armor made out of cats. Plus
Speaker 1: if they start all freaking out, it's like a massage chair.
Speaker 1: He slipped through that pack. I'm assuming that they can't
Speaker 1: pierce it. It looks like hard plastic. The cat's claws
Speaker 1: are not going to come through that thing.
Speaker 2: Right, No, No, it can't go through.
Speaker 1: No, oh okay, we're perfect. There you go. So if
Speaker 1: it just starts jumping around freaking out like cats do,
Speaker 1: back massager free or cat body armor, and if it
Speaker 1: couldn't get any worse, the story did so. When police
Speaker 1: finally apprehended this dude, and they apprehended him because there
Speaker 1: was a GPS tracker on the money and they realized
Speaker 1: that the money was moving too fast to be on foot,
Speaker 1: but too slow to be in a vehicle. And so
Speaker 1: they immediately knew to find find Debo. Essentially, remember in
Speaker 1: the movie Friday, wou a Debo drive that bicycle because
Speaker 1: he stole it from the one dude? And so they
Speaker 1: just went around. They looked for a dude with a backpack,
Speaker 1: albeit one with a cat in it, riding a bicycle.
Speaker 1: How many in rock Hill, South Carolina? How many people
Speaker 1: do you think you encounter on the daily in rock Hill,
Speaker 1: South Carolina with a cat in a back He threw
Speaker 1: backpack riding a bicycle like that can't be common, right,
Speaker 1: even a rock hill it can't be common. Though, when
Speaker 1: confronted by police, this is crazy. He decided he wasn't
Speaker 1: going to go quietly, not him and his cat. So
Speaker 1: he jumps off the bike. He's got a nine millimeter pistol.
Speaker 1: Deputy's immediately demand he dropped the weapon, but he then
Speaker 1: started to move towards a more populated area, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, nightmare scenario for police. And at that point
Speaker 1: they said, all right, we're gonna use deadly force. So
Speaker 1: the officer fired, struck him in the gun hand, which
Speaker 1: for you gun grabbers, I keep hearing every time there's
Speaker 1: an officer involved shooting there's always some nit with's like,
Speaker 1: why didn't you shoot him in the hand, Well, you
Speaker 1: got your dream, you got your dream. I don't think
Speaker 1: it was intentional, but it happened, which caused him to
Speaker 1: drop the nine millimeter. The problem was, apparently the dude's
Speaker 1: a bit of an ambidextrious criminal, allegedly because, according to police,
Speaker 1: upon dropping the weapon, because they just shot his gun hand,
Speaker 1: he used the other hand to pull out a Filipino
Speaker 1: fighting knife, which is not a thing. I knew was
Speaker 1: a thing, but now I know is a thing. And
Speaker 1: it struck a martial arts post. It was with a
Speaker 1: Filipino fighting knife. And from there it was he's already injured.
Speaker 1: They hit him with some tasers, so he lived and
Speaker 1: all of that. But what happens to Shea the cat?
Speaker 1: That was the cat's name, Shia. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: now I want my full cat body armor, all right.
Speaker 1: Jeff Barr from the Weather Channel, he's here. Oh, and
Speaker 1: he told police the reason they came to South Carolina
Speaker 1: was to quote find other people to do a unity rally,
Speaker 1: but he couldn't explain what unity he was looking for,
Speaker 1: so that story fell apart. Some guy robbed a bank
Speaker 1: with a cat in one of those sea through plastic
Speaker 1: cat carriers on his back, and people think it's cute,
Speaker 1: and I think he was using the cat as a deterrent.
Speaker 1: So police didn't shoot him because I didn't want to
Speaker 1: be the copy shot a cat.
Speaker 8: What do you think, Jeff, Yeah, that's a pretty interesting
Speaker 8: story for sure.
Speaker 1: Hey, South Carolina's got some gems, man, They're kind of
Speaker 1: like our version of Florida here in the Carolina. So
Speaker 1: speaking of the Carolinas, what are we in store for
Speaker 1: this weekend?
Speaker 8: Dry weather, warm temperatures, that's the story, because we've got
Speaker 8: a big ridge of high pressure in the western Atlantic
Speaker 8: that will dominate the weather pattern. So today up to
Speaker 8: eighty three with sunshine at times gusty wins out of
Speaker 8: the south. The load tonight down to sixty one under
Speaker 8: a clear sky will be an even a warmer Saturday
Speaker 8: to begin the week, sunny and wendy Tomorrow up to
Speaker 8: eighty nine, clouds moving Tomorrow night was still dry with
Speaker 8: a load down to sixty four, and then a warm
Speaker 8: easter on Sunday with a mix of clouds and sunshine
Speaker 8: to hide your eighty eight after a dry Monday. While
Speaker 8: the shot for some much needed a rainfall. Heading from
Speaker 8: Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll have a good weekend, sir, and I guess
Speaker 1: we'll talk a week from now. We will have a
Speaker 1: great day, sure duties. Then all right, thank you, and
Speaker 1: we come back. Normally we chat with Jeff Bellinger, but
Speaker 1: we don't because the markets aren't open today because it's
Speaker 1: good Friday. So I got a couple more stories we'll
Speaker 1: slip in coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program.
Speaker 1: And as you were a child, a young child of
Speaker 1: the eighties and into the nineties, for your middle school,
Speaker 1: high school kind of stuff, like you shared a lot
Speaker 1: of the same fears and understanding and then they weren't
Speaker 1: necessarily all valid. But like, look, if you were a
Speaker 1: Cold War kid, you thought death was coming from Russia, right,
Speaker 1: death from above. Here comes the nukes. So you'd go
Speaker 1: through all the drills, you'd watch the weird hey if
Speaker 1: you get under your desk, the nuke can't hurt you videos,
Speaker 1: which are obviously insane, but that's what you lived in
Speaker 1: fear of. For Ross and I was different, and but
Speaker 1: one of the leading things I think our generation had
Speaker 1: beat into their head because there were so many references
Speaker 1: in like cartoons and movies, and and that was that
Speaker 1: at any given day, on any given day, in any
Speaker 1: given place, at a moment's notice, with the quickness it
Speaker 1: takes to turn a one page and a Choose your
Speaker 1: Own Adventure book, you could die via quicksand Ross, did
Speaker 1: you have an unreasonable concern that quicksand could you know
Speaker 1: kill you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Completely, yes, yes, yeah, it was. It was a thing
Speaker 1: in all the things it was. It was almost a trope,
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. You just assume
Speaker 1: the quicksand and I and and and then I made
Speaker 1: it through my whole childhood, and I don't remember any
Speaker 1: story of quicksand attacking people, So maybe the fear was
Speaker 1: a little unfounded. However, uh, Michigan has been making up
Speaker 1: for time. So now this is the second story in
Speaker 1: what like six months now, maybe less than that, where
Speaker 1: people in Michigan got sucked into quicksand and I want
Speaker 1: to know what the hell's going on in Michigan. First,
Speaker 1: why were you hoarding all the quicksand I assumed that
Speaker 1: it was around the corner in Wyoming, never experienced it, right,
Speaker 1: Because proximity is also part of the fear, and as
Speaker 1: it was portrayed in all these shows and movies, it
Speaker 1: could happen to you anywhere, at any time.
Speaker 2: Indiana Jones, Yeah, cartoons, remember it being on an episode
Speaker 2: of mc guiver once, like everything, yeah, everywhere.
Speaker 1: It was such a lazy device too, from a Guiver perspective,
Speaker 1: like what if he used sand to build a Pulley system? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Whatever, but yeah, yeah, he told me the story off
Speaker 2: air my before we even talked about it. My reaction was, yes,
Speaker 2: it's finally happening, finally.
Speaker 1: A little bit. This is fair. They got rescued, although
Speaker 1: the last guy that this guy. So first it was
Speaker 1: a couple in Michigan and then now they got this dude.
Speaker 1: And I'm not picking on the dude, but like, bro,
Speaker 1: you look like you're pushing three bills. Like I understand
Speaker 1: when the quicksand came for you, maybe it wasn't even
Speaker 1: quicksand before you stepped there? What what?
Speaker 2: I just created a sinkhole? Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, oh, this could happen to anybody. And you see
Speaker 1: the rescue were getting ready to throw them a cable.
Speaker 1: He's like, that really doesn't happen to anybody.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is another instance or scenario where
Speaker 2: gen X is going to be overly prepared for a
Speaker 2: catastrophic situation.
Speaker 1: We have a big, non venomous red Yeah, oh are
Speaker 1: you carrying it? Why do you carry that bob stricter
Speaker 1: everywhere you go? Quick? Sand, I'd be worth it watching
Speaker 1: their face just to tell them the reason. So they
Speaker 1: had to process it.
Speaker 2: And gen Z have no idea what's going on because
Speaker 2: they've never even heard of it, because it's not me, yea,
Speaker 2: what is going on? We don't know. We're like, it's
Speaker 2: quick saying, bro, come on.
Speaker 1: So all right, gen Z doesn't survive to survive the
Speaker 1: Quicksand do you think they are aware of the fire
Speaker 1: swamp at all?
Speaker 2: I think some of the more culturally aware ones are. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's got to be some of them that are aware
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 1: References of unusual size, Like when's the last time you
Speaker 1: worried about rodents of unusual size? If you're twenty something
Speaker 1: right now, probably never remember. You're the generation that thought
Speaker 1: pizza rat was cute and not literally how half of
Speaker 1: Europe died
