Speaker 1: So what happened over the weekend after I don't know,
Speaker 1: arguably pretty crazy week, you know, the last week and a
Speaker 1: half we've had. We almost had a third Korea. Don't
Speaker 1: worry though. The president there says he's sorry he didn't
Speaker 1: understand the how the martial law thing worked. No, really,
Speaker 1: that's what he said. He didn't really, he said, he
Speaker 1: really didn't understand it. What isn't that ross? You're not
Speaker 1: you can't You're not in a position where you can
Speaker 1: implement martial law, not yet. I know, I know you
Speaker 1: got dreams, but you understand it, right that if you
Speaker 1: do that, it basically is people have a negative reaction
Speaker 1: to that, right yeah, yeah, yeah, think so yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's sort of general consense to a rebicon. You don't
Speaker 1: across well, or if you do, you got to be
Speaker 1: prepared because now you got to go with it, and
Speaker 1: then it's got camps and stuff like that. Anyway, it's
Speaker 1: not not a good thing. So he's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't had no idea. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I thought it was a mechanism for essentially,
Speaker 1: I don't know, redefine Well, how did he say? He
Speaker 1: so redefining Korean values or something. So good luck with that.
Speaker 1: You're going to be out of a gig. Speaking of
Speaker 1: out of a gig, did we destabilize and depose an
Speaker 1: entire country and ruler kind of sounds like it. It
Speaker 1: looks it looks like the the uh, let's let's get
Speaker 1: a sod thing, which started under the Obama administration may
Speaker 1: have had a helping hand from the US. I only
Speaker 1: know this because you know, President silver Alert kind of
Speaker 1: intimated it when he was speaking yesterday, and then very
Speaker 1: odd he did something that he's done once before, and
Speaker 1: I kind of gave him a pass on it because
Speaker 1: there was a lot of people yelling at him all
Speaker 1: at once. But now I'm not so sure because he
Speaker 1: did it again. Well, we'll play the audio from that.
Speaker 1: But remember when do you remember when he was he
Speaker 1: was talking about Helene. He was talking. It was right
Speaker 1: after he got back from North Carolina, and he was
Speaker 1: telling everyone that, oh no, they talked to everyone and
Speaker 1: everyone's fine. Remember that, of course, how infuriating that was?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolutely. They then asked him you remember that, They asked
Speaker 1: him a follow up question and he's like, what do
Speaker 1: you say? What storm or something he'd just been talking
Speaker 1: about coming back from you know, eyeballing what was going
Speaker 1: on here in North Carolina and Georgia. I think he
Speaker 1: went to Georgia too, and then in the same series
Speaker 1: of questions, he's they somebody asked him a question about
Speaker 1: a storm, and he goes, what storm? And what I
Speaker 1: thought was the confusion was between Milton and Helene. But
Speaker 1: then you would kind of say which storm, but it's okay,
Speaker 1: And it was at that point I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: I think there was everyone yelling at him, and you know,
Speaker 1: there's there was at the time. There was two storms,
Speaker 1: Milton and Helene. So all right, fair enough, that's not
Speaker 1: an excuse this time around. And we'll play that for
Speaker 1: you as we break down what he had to say there.
Speaker 1: And I, you know, I'm a dark soul sometimes. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite stories in in Forever Man, Thank you Georgia,
Speaker 1: thank you, Bad Decisions, bar owner, sports bar, dive bar
Speaker 1: owner in Georgia. I have a ton of questions how
Speaker 1: something came to pass that came to pass over the weekend.
Speaker 1: And I shouldn't laugh because it turned into an entire brawl.
Speaker 1: But what did you think was gonna happen? So I
Speaker 1: find myself asking that at Rando them points this weekend
Speaker 1: after I had seen this story. H it's so dumb.
Speaker 1: I just uh yeah, let me. I don't want to
Speaker 1: do it right now. I gotta do the I gotta
Speaker 1: do the Biden stuff. But you want to you do
Speaker 1: not want to miss the this story down in Georgia. Also,
Speaker 1: uh Trump sitting down on uh was it?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 1: Meet the press? I guess being interviewed by who cares?
Speaker 1: One of the ns uh NPC Uh wait not remember
Speaker 1: that term. One of them started as some of that,
Speaker 1: says nhs on here one of the NPC reporters. All
Speaker 1: the same question, dumb questions like are you going to
Speaker 1: fire Christopher Ray?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: What did you think you were gonna do? Bust him
Speaker 1: down to what we're manning the phones? He nominated so
Speaker 1: for his job. That's how it works, man. I don't
Speaker 1: even work at the FBI or do I? Uh no,
Speaker 1: like he nominated somebody for his job. Let's say, are
Speaker 1: you gonna fire Joe Biden? Yeah? They call it a
Speaker 1: fire and call it a forced retirement. Yeah, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Of course he's gonna fire, but you know,
Speaker 1: and then there was, and then there was all the gotcha's,
Speaker 1: why are you making everything so horrible? Defend yourself? Not
Speaker 1: once so they asked Trump what his favorite ice cream
Speaker 1: flavor was? Never came up, Well did come up when
Speaker 1: Trump was mocking the reporter for asking what his favorite
Speaker 1: ice cream was. So though technically not him or her,
Speaker 1: excuse me, but other reporters at her network. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was everything you expected to be. And and I've
Speaker 1: constantly battled like why does Trump sit down and do
Speaker 1: this stuff? And I I I he likes it. He
Speaker 1: likes telling them to their face that they're garbage. And
Speaker 1: let me tell you, it feels good. I love getting
Speaker 1: on the radio and if people are garbage, being able
Speaker 1: to point out that they're garbage, and I have a
Speaker 1: megaphone to do it. Tom Tillis will attest to this,
Speaker 1: that guy garbage over the weekend. I'm not gonna put
Speaker 1: I won't support any nominees that are not down with
Speaker 1: the Ukraine. Did you just did you see the vote?
Speaker 2: Sir?
Speaker 1: I don't do they do? They do? They drop something
Speaker 1: off at your office up there? Let you know. You
Speaker 1: got staffers to let you know. That was kind of
Speaker 1: an issue in the UH in the race, a race
Speaker 1: that was definitively won by the guy who's doing the nominating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know when Tillis is sounding like Amy klobashar
Speaker 1: over the weekend, our job is to advise and consent
Speaker 1: over the FBI. This is over the FBI thing. No,
Speaker 1: it's not now, not with an FBI background check and
Speaker 1: all that. So you know why, because the because the
Speaker 1: founding fathers would have abhorred the FBI or the concept
Speaker 1: of it. I don't necessarily disagree with the concept of it,
Speaker 1: but at the time they would have abhorred it. So
Speaker 1: when they're talking about advice and consent, they're they're they're
Speaker 1: literally also talking about nominees. I read I read a
Speaker 1: piece on this that was years ago where they were
Speaker 1: doing breakdowns of it was right after the Heller decision,
Speaker 1: the gun decision, where they were also uh wrestling over
Speaker 1: what the different terms and in the Second Amendment meant,
Speaker 1: and then they started talking about some other ones, like
Speaker 1: what does advising consent mean and and all of these things.
Speaker 1: And there was definitely a role there. It was a
Speaker 1: role that we then interpreted into the process that we
Speaker 1: do now. But there wasn't The defined thing was just
Speaker 1: that you, as members of the Senate, would advise I e.
Speaker 1: May perhaps make the nominator give some of the green
Speaker 1: light for the nomination, like, hey, we have this guy
Speaker 1: in pennsylvania'd be great for this, because you know, not
Speaker 1: everybody knew everybody. It wasn't all that instantaneous conversation and connection.
Speaker 1: So so she's up there screen. You guys not going
Speaker 1: through the normal process. You know why because Trump didn't
Speaker 1: go through the normal process because last time around, you
Speaker 1: guys hung a bunch of plants in there that would
Speaker 1: run to the media. There be four person meetings and
Speaker 1: immediately everything that happened in these meetings would be out
Speaker 1: there for Washington Post or New York Times. No. No,
Speaker 1: you had people that were in that transition thing, which
Speaker 1: is generally done by people who who were already in government. Well,
Speaker 1: that doesn't work for a guy who's coming in to
Speaker 1: probably fire a bunch of them. And then I saw
Speaker 1: people defending this like, oh, he's going to crash the
Speaker 1: economy by because you're going to fire all these government
Speaker 1: workers who uh, this guy estimated that the average worker
Speaker 1: in Washington probably makes twenty five to thirty thousand a year.
Speaker 1: Have you been to DC, sir? Absolute lunacy, Absolute lunacy.
Speaker 1: So no, he's not gonna go through your process, which
Speaker 1: was it's never it was never a constitutional process. It
Speaker 1: was just the way that the way that we thought
Speaker 1: it would be easiest, and then, like everything else, it
Speaker 1: was weaponized. So no, he's not gonna participate. Do your research.
Speaker 1: Go get one of your staffers. Verbally abuse them and
Speaker 1: emotionally abuse them like the story says you like to
Speaker 1: do is thread them with a comb, eat your salad,
Speaker 1: and you know Google, how's that will that work for you? Okay? Good,
Speaker 1: all right, So let's do this. We'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: get into Biden's little serious thing. I'll play a little
Speaker 1: of the Trump thing. It's it's it's basically if you've
Speaker 1: probably seen some clips, it's nothing new. There's just another
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to uh get in there. But he's
Speaker 1: having fun, man, and I'm gonna play the clip that
Speaker 1: shows that. So lots to get too sick. Sixteen Hang on,
Speaker 1: we had some little I got the emails from I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't go out this year. Ross you went out
Speaker 1: this year. We had our big stuff, A bus out
Speaker 1: at the Walmart on is it killed or farmed road
Speaker 1: killed her? Yeah. Yeah. Down there in Kerry Ross was
Speaker 1: a man in the booth for one of the days
Speaker 1: this weekend. And I know we had some listener stopped
Speaker 1: by it when I was on the air Friday and
Speaker 1: donated some books and stuff. So Elizabeth, thank you very
Speaker 1: much for that. It's amazing. It's amazing. How how how
Speaker 1: stuffed was the bus when you finally left, but you
Speaker 1: were there.
Speaker 4: Student, dude, completely, They stuffed the bus like five or
Speaker 4: seven or twenty times. And every time they do, they
Speaker 4: have to unload the bus and bring the bus to
Speaker 4: where they bring the toys for the toys or toss
Speaker 4: the Marine Corps. And they broke records this year.
Speaker 1: So today Lane Lane Dentistry and Associates. They are Family Dentistry.
Speaker 1: I remember they because they had did drop offs like
Speaker 1: a there were various because they have like a gazillion
Speaker 1: different offices and so they were doing drop offs there.
Speaker 1: And so the day the first day I was out there,
Speaker 1: they brought it up. And you know that thing when
Speaker 1: you're trying to go on a road trip with a
Speaker 1: with a whole family. I was gonna say with with
Speaker 1: with your lady, but or just a family situation and
Speaker 1: you're having to play Tetris to get it into your vehicle.
Speaker 1: When they came that first day, we had to transfer
Speaker 1: to the bus. I was the poor bastard and the
Speaker 1: bus playing Tetris, and it's just like it was me
Speaker 1: and one other guy. We're just like, where are we
Speaker 1: going to put all this stuff? So the generosity is
Speaker 1: off the chain that I'm saying. But the funnest part
Speaker 1: is occasionally somebody will come by and they're they're walking
Speaker 1: out of the store and then they realize what's going
Speaker 1: on and they're like, Oh, I don't have time to
Speaker 1: run in. Here's here's twenty bucks. Why don't you go?
Speaker 1: And then you get to go in the store to
Speaker 1: shop for the kids, and this is where you get
Speaker 1: to indoctrinate them. So this is why I understand like
Speaker 1: being an administrator for a higher ed collegiate environment or
Speaker 1: something like that, because like last year, I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what the kids are gonna get. They're gonna get
Speaker 1: fishing supplies. Because when I was a kid, if I
Speaker 1: got a free fishing pole and uh and a little
Speaker 1: mini tackle starter tackle box, that was my summer planned man, So, uh,
Speaker 1: what'd you indoctrinate the kids?
Speaker 4: Well, I got there super early before we even set up,
Speaker 4: so I spent my own money on some on some presents.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah, So I went with what every kid wants,
Speaker 4: which are Hulk Hogan figurines. Absolutely, yeah, what kid? What
Speaker 4: young kid?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: Isn't walking down the stairs on Christmas morning?
Speaker 2: Ago?
Speaker 4: And I hope that's a Hulk Hogan?
Speaker 1: Like would you be walking down the stairs? You mean
Speaker 1: coming off the stairs right, like leaping right? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, top turn buckle of stairs, man off
Speaker 4: that thing right on.
Speaker 1: The stunner or something. Yeah. Yeah. Mom's like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing Christmas? I'm doing this? No, it's out there
Speaker 1: with Trevor. He actually told me a story too, talking
Speaker 1: about wrestling, about the time that he ran into uh
Speaker 1: stone Cold Steve Austin in a bathroom in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: And it's appropriate place for I guess. Yeah, he got
Speaker 1: a picture with him in the bathroom. Yeah, in the
Speaker 1: bathroom with Stone Cold And it took aim while to
Speaker 1: find the photo. I'm like, dude, if that was on
Speaker 1: my phone, I would know exactly where they photo is
Speaker 1: your scream round? Yeah right?
Speaker 4: It was like, did he give you a stunner? And
Speaker 4: he said no, so disappointed.
Speaker 1: What do you do?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: You do it is stunner? And then you're laying there,
Speaker 1: he autographs your face and then just leaves. No, he
Speaker 1: had a good time, though, Okay, good, good, good, good
Speaker 1: good good. Yeah. I was. It's it's it's amazing how
Speaker 1: many people show up for that, So thank you anybody
Speaker 1: who did donate. You guys had a bust full of
Speaker 1: toys and carry the murder capital of the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got away with it. So what do you do?
Speaker 1: I was so scared, were you? Yeah, it's very terrifying
Speaker 1: shopping center. I killed her far road carry. Oh absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's the most terrifying part? The other New York Bagel
Speaker 1: that's right down the way. There's really good cars.
Speaker 4: Go buy him? What what gang is that?
Speaker 1: What? Am I gonna see? The point? You gotta be careful.
Speaker 4: I was happy to go back to the safety wig
Speaker 4: forest out of here.
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, it's about the fact that you survived. It
Speaker 1: is amazing. Right, congratulations, dude. I had the did you
Speaker 1: have the stretchy Hogan when you're a kid, the one
Speaker 1: that's like half body pillow half h thing free to wrestle.
Speaker 1: I did, yes, that's is that's not the one you
Speaker 1: got that you just get you got figurines.
Speaker 4: I guess I'm silly. New one Python powerhole Cogan?
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 1: Okay, look, maybe you didn't think of the kid what
Speaker 1: do they do? And they just like, who's that guy
Speaker 1: ripping his shirt off next to the president? Who's that guy?
Speaker 4: He's got a new generation of fans because of the
Speaker 4: rn C, which once again all the kids have watched.
Speaker 1: Yes, as they do, as they do? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: it's probably because the kids don't want to watch the
Speaker 1: Commander and Chief answer questions because it's just too sad.
Speaker 1: Like here he is talking about Syria, and you tell
Speaker 1: me the CIA didn't have anything to do with this,
Speaker 1: and now it's just a giant mess in the vacuum,
Speaker 1: the vacuum now of ne'er do wells and just just nasty,
Speaker 1: horrible people just sucking into Syria. Is going to be
Speaker 1: a thing to watch and the thing that Trump has
Speaker 1: to deal with. Meanwhile, here's Biden.
Speaker 5: The new constitution cover that serves all series. Really process
Speaker 5: to be determined by the Syrian people themselves. In the
Speaker 5: United States, will do whatever.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be either, it'll be determined by the people
Speaker 1: with the guns. I want to mention too, So we
Speaker 1: did the stuff a bus thing obviously with in our
Speaker 1: Triangle Triangle station clusters of station cluster and that was
Speaker 1: great success on the Greensboro side. I want to thank
Speaker 1: everyone too who helped us support the Saint Jude fundraiser.
Speaker 1: We were able to raise I think it's like one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand hold on, one hundred and seventy seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety bucks, so that is amazing. This
Speaker 1: is a toys for Tots thing too, so yeah, incredible, man,
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. Let's see how many they did, sixty seven
Speaker 1: boxes of toys. The Saint Jude was one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty thousand raw stuffed the bus multiple times. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of of a lot of folks around the
Speaker 1: Triad and Triangle because all of this stays local too.
Speaker 1: This is so if you did come out and donate,
Speaker 1: it's staying right in the community. So that's I really
Speaker 1: like that part of the fundraisers, So thank you everyone
Speaker 1: who took part. Now we can coast ride into Christmas
Speaker 1: and two weeks away well, I know Christmas isn't, but
Speaker 1: that's when our vacation starts, so deal with it, all right,
Speaker 1: let me get back to this, all right. So Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's doing the serious thing, and I'm gonna play that
Speaker 1: cut again because it's pretty clear he wants to send
Speaker 1: him a bunch of money. We don't even know he's
Speaker 1: going to be in charge. I think it's pretty naive
Speaker 1: to just assume that it's going to be a ragtag
Speaker 1: grew and I hope that it is. I just want
Speaker 1: to be clear here. I hope, and I suspect we're
Speaker 1: helping to steer this, but yeah, you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: transition time right now, and something tells me it's going
Speaker 1: to be pretty ugly. And the because the nation is
Speaker 1: getting flooded with ultra conservative, radical Muslim groups, which has
Speaker 1: already been a problem. Israel took some land too, which
Speaker 1: I'm sure will be a point of contention, and you
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna slide in there. Here's what I know.
Speaker 1: I was watching video of people, you know, doing the
Speaker 1: palace loot as you do. Because Asad and his family
Speaker 1: they went to Russia, they're out and to get the
Speaker 1: hell out of there because they remember, they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be Goadafi. You die with a stick
Speaker 1: in your butt. No, thank you, we're leaving, and oh,
Speaker 1: he deserves to die with a stick in his butt.
Speaker 1: Just so we're clear, slowly, he is a monster. That
Speaker 1: being said, there's other monsters to fill that vacuum. And
Speaker 1: while people were eluding the palace, I did see the
Speaker 1: smart people headed over to the Central Bank, and we're
Speaker 1: just walking out with bags full of money. I don't
Speaker 1: know how rampant that is. I don't know what that
Speaker 1: does from an inflationary standpoint, like how much money is
Speaker 1: getting taken. The whole thing's crazy. Uh and and it's
Speaker 1: a it is a hand grenade that is now in
Speaker 1: Trump's lap, but it's also the destabilizing of Asad is
Speaker 1: something that was that started under Obama. He kind of
Speaker 1: ramped into it. Trump did a little, but after that
Speaker 1: gas attack stuff, he was kind of hands off with
Speaker 1: Syria because remember we did fire in there. Now we fight,
Speaker 1: We hit some targets in Syria. US did this wasn't
Speaker 1: just this happened. We took the opportunity to uh missile missile.
Speaker 1: Some folks as we do, and this is all tried. Now.
Speaker 1: Trump's thing on it was this isn't our war, let
Speaker 1: them let them kill each other, which is probably pretty
Speaker 1: accurate when you see who's going to be vying for power.
Speaker 1: But you still have people and you do like there
Speaker 1: are people in Syria obviously who just want to do
Speaker 1: their thing and not have to worry about gas attacks
Speaker 1: or subjugation or random uh, random executions. You know, all
Speaker 1: the horrible stuff that was was was right, you know,
Speaker 1: brimming over, Uh they're they're in Syria and then would
Speaker 1: spill over into these these conflicts, which would make the news.
Speaker 1: Then it would go back to just sucking most of
Speaker 1: the time. And and you hope they're the ones. But
Speaker 1: they're also not that they're not armed. A lot of
Speaker 1: those folks they're not you know, these are these are
Speaker 1: they're not military folks, but they're essentially trained. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: isis fighters, isis adjacent however you want to say it.
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it pans out. But Trump can
Speaker 1: say he doesn't want to deal with it and he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to commit blood or treasure, but it will
Speaker 1: be it's going to be something he has to deal
Speaker 1: with because it's going to be going on around him,
Speaker 1: and so, uh what that looks like? I don't know.
Speaker 1: So as he's talking about it, and let me play
Speaker 1: this cut one more time. As he's talking about it,
Speaker 1: they start trying to gaze how much the US would
Speaker 1: be involved in any of this. And as far as
Speaker 1: Biden is concerned, if we're missiling stuff, Israel's taken land
Speaker 1: and we're cool with that and we're offering to rebuild
Speaker 1: it sounds like a financial quagmire.
Speaker 5: The new Constitution, new Governess.
Speaker 1: First, it sounds like you know, dreams uh, you know,
Speaker 1: rainbow rainbows and unicorn kind of big dreamer stuff. If
Speaker 1: he really thinks this, he's he's incredibly naive.
Speaker 5: For the New Constitution, New Governess serves all Serias and
Speaker 5: this process to be determined by the Syrian people themselves.
Speaker 5: In the United States will do whatever we can to
Speaker 5: support them, including through humanitarian relief, to help restore Syria
Speaker 5: after more than a decade of war and generation to
Speaker 5: brutality by this SOD family.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, and again he's not wrong in the way
Speaker 1: that the SOD ruled. But yeah, I don't know that
Speaker 1: people are just random people are going to be filling
Speaker 1: that vacuum, and and then it comes into well when
Speaker 1: you're sending well, we're sending relief, but it's just for
Speaker 1: humanitarian aid. Well, we know how that goes. And and
Speaker 1: then they'll be like, well we just sent boxes of medicine. Well,
Speaker 1: we know how that goes. It's it's the North Korea
Speaker 1: thing where they get sent food and medicine and then
Speaker 1: they turn around and sell it for money. And then
Speaker 1: you know, or weapons they traded for weapons. They literally
Speaker 1: would trade food and medicine to China for weapons. We
Speaker 1: knew this was happening. And then but politicians still go, well, look,
Speaker 1: we're just sending a medicine, but you're not. You're sending
Speaker 1: them sending them money. So well, but yeah, but they
Speaker 1: need the medicine. No, I agree with you that the
Speaker 1: people probably do need the medicine because Lukhu's in charge.
Speaker 1: But if it's never getting to them, then it's not working.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. And then they he got asked
Speaker 1: about Austin Tice. Now, this is what I was comparing
Speaker 1: when we started the show to when he was taught.
Speaker 1: When he would come back from North Carolina after going
Speaker 1: on his tour there and said that he talked to
Speaker 1: everyone and they're happy as it pleased his punch, which
Speaker 1: would you talk to one person who works for you?
Speaker 1: I don't know, And then so he says something, and
Speaker 1: then somebody then asked a storm question and he goes
Speaker 1: which storm, and I'm like, yeah, there's two storms. It
Speaker 1: was clear that they were talking about Helene at the time,
Speaker 1: but there is the other storm. Maybe it's gotta have
Speaker 1: a brief. Who knows, we kind of did it something similar.
Speaker 1: So Austin Tice is a person that we believe I
Speaker 1: don't know what intelligence fully the government has, but the
Speaker 1: belief is that he is still alive. A journalist's former
Speaker 1: marine I know once marine always ringing, but certain the Marines,
Speaker 1: and then was investigative journalist, was investigative journalisming in Syria
Speaker 1: and was captured and has been held there for let's see.
Speaker 1: He was captured in twenty twelve, so he's twelve years
Speaker 1: man almost thirteen years. Uh yeah, and we think he's alive.
Speaker 1: And so they asked Biden about him, and then he
Speaker 1: is why he Biden in the in the moment I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play, I'm play the audio fully for you. He
Speaker 1: starts walking away from the podium and somebody asks Austin,
Speaker 1: when are you gonna get Austin tice after he had
Speaker 1: just been mentioned, and uh, listen to Biden's reactions, what
Speaker 1: did you guys know about where Austin pys might be?
Speaker 3: And if he's safe, could believe he's alive.
Speaker 5: We think we can get him back where we have
Speaker 5: a direct drave in to that yet and spots as
Speaker 5: your homecom.
Speaker 1: Haven't write a domination to go get him go it.
Speaker 1: We won't want to get him out to identify where
Speaker 1: he is, thank you. So it's so when when he
Speaker 1: asks you have a plan to get him out, and
Speaker 1: then he goes, who you just you just finished, You
Speaker 1: just completed a sentence talking about Austin Tye and so,
Speaker 1: And clearly that's a go get kind of question. When
Speaker 1: are you going to get him out of there?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 1: Who did he think he meant? In the And those
Speaker 1: are not fifteen minutes apart either. That is the continuation
Speaker 1: of how that conversation went.
Speaker 4: The only thing I could think of is in the
Speaker 4: follow up question which he's asking the second part of
Speaker 4: the question, there's another person who asks about a sod
Speaker 4: and they sort of overlapped, so I can see him thinking,
Speaker 4: are you asking me about a sod or?
Speaker 1: Tye? Well, no, the guy, the guy's voice is asking
Speaker 1: about Tyson clarifies and says, there's two there's two people there.
Speaker 1: Somebody says a'sd All right, let's say overlap. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: listen to it again. Okay, here we go. What did
Speaker 1: you guys know about where Austin Tis might be?
Speaker 2: And if he's safe?
Speaker 5: Good ladies, alive? We think we can get back where
Speaker 5: we have direct drive into that yet and thoughts beyond count.
Speaker 1: Haven't write an omination to get.
Speaker 4: All ty if you have it, we.
Speaker 3: Won't want to get him out.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right? And again that's the government's position, is
Speaker 1: they believe he's alive. Yeah, I don't know, man I
Speaker 1: who knows?
Speaker 4: Because he answers and he ends it talking about Asad.
Speaker 4: Then she asked, she repeats, you know a similar question
Speaker 4: of her. But there's another person that says Asad. So
Speaker 4: I think he's thinking, are you asking me a sod
Speaker 4: or twice?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be a big screw up right right?
Speaker 4: Because you know what if they were asking for some
Speaker 4: reason about Asad and he just answers thinking they're saying
Speaker 4: yes about Tyson. Suddenly the news headline is Biden wants
Speaker 4: to abduct a SOD in Russia.
Speaker 1: They got that whole press corps out at Andrews. Like
Speaker 1: when they brought the hostages home from Russia after the trade.
Speaker 1: Remember the guy's like, God, never go to Russia, right,
Speaker 1: But then the guy comes walking off the plane and
Speaker 1: they're like and it's a sod. They're like, oh, oh no,
Speaker 1: we got the wrong guy. But also going into Russia
Speaker 1: might be a problem.
Speaker 4: That guy when they released him and he made that
Speaker 4: comment about I'm never going there again. That's one of
Speaker 4: the funniest things I've ever heard. Somebody they asked, what's
Speaker 4: a piece of advice? Was the what's your biggest piece
Speaker 4: of advice?
Speaker 1: Or somebody's like, don't go to Russia, never doing that again? Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh man, you canceled your Moscow trip that same day,
Speaker 1: I believe, right, Yeah, like, yeah, not taking the fam there.
Speaker 1: Oh man. You know what you do is if you
Speaker 1: want to side, you got to get idiot John Candy
Speaker 1: and Chevy Chase.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: Get him some big Babushka coats. Send them on in there.
Speaker 1: I think they could do it. They were six. They
Speaker 1: were very successful the last time.
Speaker 4: So that was a great documentary with those two, yes
Speaker 4: what I mean? And he showed really why the Soviet
Speaker 4: Union fell, whether military was weak, because all they did
Speaker 4: was party out in the Yeah, in the tundra and
Speaker 4: the frozen party, like you know in Siberia that will
Speaker 4: party like a tundra party. No one was half naked.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: I saw that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely can't win the cold wear like that.
Speaker 1: What do you do?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 1: Obviously history has proved that. So there you go, and
Speaker 1: you just have Chevy Chase over and being a hole
Speaker 1: to him. It'll be fun. So you're the Why do
Speaker 1: they keep writing Chevy Chase as in a whole articles?
Speaker 4: I don't know, but my weakness. I stumbled across one
Speaker 4: this morning. It was UNDI like the my main page here. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and anytime I stumbled across at Chevy Chase is an
Speaker 4: a whole article, I have to read it because this
Speaker 4: story is involved.
Speaker 1: There was fantastic It's Buddy Bastard though he is that man,
Speaker 1: but those stories have been since his time at SNL.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody worked with them in SNL, Like he's been
Speaker 4: an a hole. Everybody hates him. Him and Bill Murray
Speaker 4: got in a fistfight right before they went live.
Speaker 1: It's what's so crazy is we know all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and yet I'll still if Caddy shacks on, I'm watching that.
Speaker 1: Whereas with de Niro, who also obviously is an a hole.
Speaker 1: It's here we talk about this this subconscious effect where
Speaker 1: you just don't want to watch movies, the movies that
Speaker 1: you love, because you just don't want to see this guy.
Speaker 1: And it's like, like if they had an a hole off,
Speaker 1: I don't know who'd win. So I think Chevy's thing
Speaker 1: is I think people give him a pass because it's
Speaker 1: not political and it's such a good run.
Speaker 4: And it was before this, back when you could be
Speaker 4: an a hole off screen and people wouldn't know about it.
Speaker 4: So it took a long time for these stories to
Speaker 4: permeate it. But he had such a good run there
Speaker 4: for a while. Really, you said, Caddy shack a vacation,
Speaker 4: fletch Christmas Vacation, like Chris Columbus, I guess was supposed
Speaker 4: to direct Christmas Vacation. John Hughes asked him to, and
Speaker 4: Chris Columbus was like, after having the interview with Chevy,
Speaker 4: Chase that I can't work with that guy. He would
Speaker 4: be an absolute nightmare. Later he followed it up with
Speaker 4: a home alone. So Christoph Columbus did, okay, right, but
Speaker 4: that's a crazy like he was like, Nope, can't work
Speaker 4: with Chevy Chase.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, I met an amazing person. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew this person, but I didn't know this about
Speaker 1: this person, A thirty eight year old who had never
Speaker 1: heard of or seen Christmas Vacation. What yeah, thirty eight, thirty.
Speaker 4: Eight, that's not possible.
Speaker 1: Well it was. And so immediately I'm like, you know
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're watching Christmas They were they raised
Speaker 1: in like a jungle in Thailand or something. No, I
Speaker 1: don't absolutely that movie is all over the world, So
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. But so I got to watch
Speaker 1: a thirty eight year old watch Christmas Vacation for the
Speaker 1: first time because I wanted to watch it too, laugh
Speaker 1: of the whole time, I'm like, how is that not
Speaker 1: in your life? That's amazing. So I don't know who knows, man,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it was. That's the Christmas spirit there because
Speaker 1: every time I hadn't watched that movie since last year.
Speaker 1: Just art Man it's just art. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: saw it.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, I saw people in social media that
Speaker 4: they said their biggest problem with the Christmas Vacation movie
Speaker 4: was they didn't understand that Christmas bonuses, once upon a
Speaker 4: time existed. What is a Christmas bonus?
Speaker 1: Yeah? That's uh. Those are the days huh back Jelly
Speaker 1: of the Month club. That's why I made that joke
Speaker 1: the other day, and I assumed everybody knew it, And
Speaker 1: then I met a person who never seen it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know. All right, So
Speaker 1: you want to hear the craziest story. I the craziest
Speaker 1: story for you. We'll do that coming up. Let me
Speaker 1: grab a quick call before we do, Donna, Donna, what's up?
Speaker 3: Good morning, Casey. I just want to say that you
Speaker 3: are fake news, sir.
Speaker 1: Why have I fake news?
Speaker 3: Well, you only told half half the story about your gifts,
Speaker 3: about your gift giving to the children.
Speaker 1: Oh, when I go in the Walmart get some toys
Speaker 1: for the toy drive last year, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: You donated a nice spider Man fishing pole. I did, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but then a machete.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I didn't get to donate it. Because they
Speaker 1: didn't want it. And I'm like, you wouldn't want a machete.
Speaker 3: I mean, what's conscientious content?
Speaker 2: Parent?
Speaker 1: No, the boss, no, the boss is like, I don't
Speaker 1: think we should put that in the bush. Yeah she
Speaker 1: means I know. She was saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 1: just says four. That's what it says here.
Speaker 3: I got a quick question. When you were a kid,
Speaker 3: did you have the wrestlers, the big rubber wrestlers. They
Speaker 3: sure have changed, haven't they Now they're just a little plastic.
Speaker 1: Oh their poverty right, Okay, modern kids don't even know.
Speaker 3: Well, they really are missing out.
Speaker 1: Go on it takes for the call there, done it?
Speaker 1: Go on Twitter? I actually posted a picture of the
Speaker 1: most amazing slide that would have like in the eighties.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a child death trap and it has
Speaker 1: to be a billion degrees if the sun's out of slides.
Speaker 4: I fell off one of those as a kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no guard rails, there's nothing. This one's got
Speaker 1: a high dive style ladder behind it, and then it's
Speaker 1: just the super hot metal. But you know what, We
Speaker 1: slid on those when we were kids and we liked it.
Speaker 1: Damn it. Oh we didn't like it, but if you
Speaker 1: kept going, it couldn't burn you.
Speaker 4: We had one that looked like it looked like a
Speaker 4: rocket ship, and I had, like, you know, the outside
Speaker 4: of literally a rocket ship phone.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, gravity does.
Speaker 4: Exist, yeah on that planet?
Speaker 1: It does. All right, hang on, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Was this this would be Friday? He was Friday, yeah
Speaker 1: or whatever? So uh over the weekend?
Speaker 7: A bar?
Speaker 1: I guess it's technically in Atlanta, Southeast Atlanta. Ross When
Speaker 1: you say southeast Atlanta, is that a good part of
Speaker 1: Atlanta or not a good part of Atlanta? That's not
Speaker 1: more of the airport?
Speaker 4: Completely purge that for my brain.
Speaker 1: Okay, well here here's because I wanted to get a
Speaker 1: sense of who hangs out at this bar for the
Speaker 1: purpose of this story, because there's a there's a big
Speaker 1: racial component. So one of the ways that I do
Speaker 1: that if I want to learn more about an area
Speaker 1: is even though they're monsters and frankly trying to control elections.
Speaker 1: Google is useful for this reason, and that is you
Speaker 1: go anywhere on the Google Maps and there's street view,
Speaker 1: which could be helpful even though it's a snapshot in time.
Speaker 1: But much like Yelp or trip Advisor. There's probably an
Speaker 1: entry for that business where photos have been posted. And
Speaker 1: one of the series of photos is you can see
Speaker 1: I think it's atmosphere, and you click that so you
Speaker 1: can see if you just want to see in the
Speaker 1: let's say you want to go to a restaurant, you
Speaker 1: want to see what the sea look like, you could
Speaker 1: do that. So there was a bunch of pictures in there.
Speaker 1: And I would describe this bar based on the parking
Speaker 1: lot and the photos that I saw as kind of
Speaker 1: a hole in the wall, a working class bar. Looks
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like there's pickup trucks, a lot
Speaker 1: of construction dudes, some motorcycles. It's probably predominantly white from
Speaker 1: the photos that I saw. And it's a sports bar.
Speaker 1: It's ideal sports bar. And so based on those photos,
Speaker 1: using that to kind of figure out what happened, because
Speaker 1: in the story, you gotta piece this stuff together and
Speaker 1: once you do and you realize what happened is crazy,
Speaker 1: all right. So a racially I'm gonna read from the
Speaker 1: New York Post article, A racially charged brawl broke out
Speaker 1: between a band and bar patrons at a watering hole
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, leaving several people injured, including one woman who
Speaker 1: had to be hospitalized. Customer an ideal sports bar became
Speaker 1: agitated with a performing band after the members of the band,
Speaker 1: who are in this case, the one guy they point
Speaker 1: out who is really at the forefront you see him
Speaker 1: in the article photo is a younger black dude. He's
Speaker 1: a guitarist, it looks like.
Speaker 2: And he is.
Speaker 1: He's making some comments directly at this group of people,
Speaker 1: and according to the article, he said they were derogatory
Speaker 1: comments about white people. And I'm like, all right. But
Speaker 1: also one of the patrons was reportedly after he did it,
Speaker 1: started yelling the N word back at him. So it's on.
Speaker 1: That's all it's on. I don't know the exact trigger point,
Speaker 1: but I'm now curious what were the comments that the
Speaker 1: band decided to make or one of the band members
Speaker 1: during the performance that started this. And it's clear, it's
Speaker 1: clear that that's what the that was. The first thing
Speaker 1: lobbed was whatever this guitar has said. And it's not
Speaker 1: until you get to the end of the article do
Speaker 1: you find out what the guitar said and why then
Speaker 1: it might have caused a patron to start screaming the
Speaker 1: N word at him because at the end of the article,
Speaker 1: and I'll get to all the middle part, but I
Speaker 1: just want you to know off the jump what this is.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: There is a statement from the owner of Ideal Sports
Speaker 1: Bar quote. In reviewing the circumstances surrounding the incident, it's
Speaker 1: clear that both parties contributed to the escalation. Emotions ran high,
Speaker 1: leading to unacceptable behavior on both sides. We will be
Speaker 1: taking steps to include the screening of the bands we book,
Speaker 1: as we do not condone lyrics that call for the
Speaker 1: killing of human beings. The dude was they start They
Speaker 1: were singing about or talking about at least killing white
Speaker 1: people in a redneck bar. Kind of definitely Redneck's not fair.
Speaker 1: But I want you to understand what you're dealing with.
Speaker 1: You're dealing with a bar that's full of a bunch
Speaker 1: of working class dudes with pickup trucks. It's like a
Speaker 1: it's like a crazy movie scene. It's like, they did
Speaker 1: the meme, right, and somebody anytime a journalist, right, So
Speaker 1: the Republicans pounced, you're doing the meme. They did the meme,
Speaker 1: and I'll share with you the meme here in just
Speaker 1: a moment, But you have to understand what happened because
Speaker 1: it's also was the most stereotypical barroom brawl I've ever
Speaker 1: seen or had described to me. Right, patrons turned into hacklers,
Speaker 1: one man yelling the N word. Musicians then got off
Speaker 1: the stage of fight, erupted barstools and pooled pool cues
Speaker 1: were grabbed once the N word was thrown. I knew
Speaker 1: it was going to be pretty bad, said one white
Speaker 1: band member. What about the part where you're talking about
Speaker 1: killing white people? Did you not think that that was
Speaker 1: going to end pretty bad? I think they wanted to kill,
Speaker 1: they didn't want to fight, he added of the hecklers.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, Maybe you shouldn't sing about killing
Speaker 1: people and do it, especially do it in a racial
Speaker 1: way in a setting where everyone's ingested a bunch of alcohol.
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's just try to have a
Speaker 1: good time. How about that surveillance video shows a younger
Speaker 1: black guitars to the band taunting an older white man
Speaker 1: standing near a pool table. The two are separated by women,
Speaker 1: and then it looks like it's kind of hard to
Speaker 1: tell because women are in the way, But then they
Speaker 1: start going at it. One of the women. I think
Speaker 1: it's popped. I think she bounces her head off the
Speaker 1: pool table. It's kind of hard to tell. Then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, everyone in the bars starts throwing punches
Speaker 1: and hitting each other with pool sticks. In fact, one
Speaker 1: man grabs a woman who's dancing with the band. He
Speaker 1: becomes the center of the skirmish, pinning the woman on
Speaker 1: the pool table. When he emerges, there's blood dripping down
Speaker 1: his forehead. One I love this The way they wrote
Speaker 1: this one she made in is seemingly distributing wooden weapons.
Speaker 1: So you know that scene or somebody's fighting and then
Speaker 1: somebody's handing out pool cues. That literally is what happened.
Speaker 1: And then there's a line in there that's just crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't want to read this quote. I did. We
Speaker 1: didn't expect that much violence, said one of the bad Well,
Speaker 1: what did you? Is there an acceptable level? Right?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 1: One punch throwne? What the hell are you doing? And
Speaker 1: when I said they did the meme, I meant they
Speaker 1: did the meme. How many of you remember the old
Speaker 1: SNL bit with Eddie Murphy? All right, So if you
Speaker 1: don't remember the bit, Eddie Murphy is up there with
Speaker 1: two other actors and they are pretending they're being a
Speaker 1: reggae band. Okay, and they're a reggae band that gets
Speaker 1: signed to play at a VFW. And it's a hilarious skit.
Speaker 1: Ineligible guys in the vfwor.
Speaker 2: In esh shut the time, we have no son on
Speaker 2: the ground. Take a bitch, mama, my ship do lolun shop.
Speaker 5: Was a bitch?
Speaker 2: What you.
Speaker 3: All?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Then everyone starts leaving. Great man, But it's an SNL bit.
Speaker 1: You don't do it in real life, bro, man, you
Speaker 1: cut off the best part. Man, Oh I want to
Speaker 1: is that you got in this other cut?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, alright, alright. So, because Ross has been saying this
Speaker 1: all morning, I had.
Speaker 4: Never heard the bit before until last night till you
Speaker 4: sent it, and and I myself driving to work this
Speaker 4: morning's singing it's very.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you're gonna start a brawl, did you? I'm
Speaker 1: like I like that. Oh yeah, people.
Speaker 5: Become me.
Speaker 4: To the white people.
Speaker 1: What buy my redcord?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why don't you buy? Why? He's like, buy my record first?
Speaker 1: Always be closing? How did you do that? Real life Atlanta?
Speaker 1: Why would you? And also the bar they're like, maybe
Speaker 1: we should listen to music. I'm sorry, has anybody ever
Speaker 1: booked a band and not, I don't know, listen to
Speaker 1: what they sing? Dude. So yeah, like I said, it's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite stories in a long time because
Speaker 1: one the comment about we didn't expect that much violence
Speaker 1: what goes on an ideal sports bar on the regular?
Speaker 1: And two, how did you think that was going to go?
Speaker 1: How did you think a bar full of intoxicated people,
Speaker 1: most of which will appear to be white, we're going
Speaker 1: to react to a singer not trying to be funny
Speaker 1: like Eddie Murphy is, but you know, making politically charged
Speaker 1: comments and talking about killing white How did you think
Speaker 1: that was going to go? Pick the most country bar
Speaker 1: you can think of around the triad or triangle, and
Speaker 1: now put a band in there.
Speaker 2: Do it?
Speaker 1: Let me know how that goes. So yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: exactly what I would have predicted. It played out exactly
Speaker 1: like I predicted. And now, by the way, all of
Speaker 1: you would be spending your day kill what you didn't
Speaker 1: do that at the sheets? You stabbed the sheets this morning?
Speaker 1: That'd be awkward.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, dof today?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right? Once you singing that? So now
Speaker 1: but there you go. So now when your boss like,
Speaker 1: why are you singing?
Speaker 8: Killed?
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's Eddie Murphy. Skit. You're off the hook.
Speaker 1: You're welcome seven to seventeen. Hang on. So you guys
Speaker 1: are all aware of MDC, the Metropolitan Detention Center up
Speaker 1: in New York. There, you know, it is a place
Speaker 1: for some rich financiers like to randomly hang themselves and
Speaker 1: then the cameras break. Well, anyway, that's where Diddy's at
Speaker 1: and uh so this is a TMZ says that Diddy
Speaker 1: and his fellow prisoners will be allowed a Christmas party
Speaker 1: this year, of which Diddy is one of the organizers.
Speaker 1: What what it's why we're here, bro, you know, let
Speaker 1: Didy organize parties in prison? Holy cow, let me just
Speaker 1: let me just say whatever the part I guess it
Speaker 1: is a Christmas Day. Probably don't want to go. Uh
Speaker 1: don't want to go in the showers that day, That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Just you know, maybe the day before
Speaker 1: and then just you know, go for a go a
Speaker 1: day and then the day after Christmas. But I would
Speaker 1: avoid a day of So what exactly is the party? Well,
Speaker 1: according to TMZ, the party organized by Diddy and some
Speaker 1: of his fellow prisoners will include a spades tournament, a
Speaker 1: Domino's competition, three on three basketball, in a soccer match,
Speaker 1: and they will feast upon cornish game hen mac and cheese,
Speaker 1: cranberry sauce, and dinner rolls and something described as a
Speaker 1: holiday dessert on that day. So there you go. Probably
Speaker 1: a little different than a freak off, but maybe not.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sounds like nobody watches the prisoners at
Speaker 1: that place anyway. Yeah, that's an Epstein reference. All right,
Speaker 1: So I guess you could tell me which is the
Speaker 1: which is the worst? Idea? There? Let me flip over
Speaker 1: to this. I think this is a fascinating story. It's
Speaker 1: not super political, but I just want to know what
Speaker 1: you think. So I read this article over the weekend
Speaker 1: the subtitle Generation while Millennia. Why Millennials and gen Zers
Speaker 1: need everything spelled out for them? And in the article,
Speaker 1: it talks about how gen z and Millennials, the majority,
Speaker 1: the majority, say that when they watch media, watch a
Speaker 1: movie or TV or whatever, they have the subtitles on. Why. Now,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, When I watch I have the
Speaker 1: subtitles on, and I just assume it's because I'm getting
Speaker 1: older and I sit around with headphones on my head
Speaker 1: do there's people in radio. There are people in radio
Speaker 1: who when you walk into a studio, they have their
Speaker 1: headphones on and you can hear clearly standing across the
Speaker 1: other side of the studio. What is coming through those headphones? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Those are my headphones. Completely.
Speaker 1: You're not Chordal bad though, Oh is it was he bad?
Speaker 1: But you know the you know the little thing under
Speaker 1: the counter that boosts the audio. We had that put
Speaker 1: in so Cordle could plug in. Nope, that was put
Speaker 1: in so I could plug in. There, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: the one that saw Saul made that for me, not
Speaker 1: in your studio, in my studio.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was made for me.
Speaker 1: The one that's on the other side was made for you.
Speaker 4: When I joined the show, Saul put that in for
Speaker 4: me because I could not hear. What which what was there?
Speaker 4: I asked them.
Speaker 1: I swear, Cordal, has you got that dead wrong? I
Speaker 1: swear Coortle had something. Nope, okay, well whatever. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I wasn't naming names. But if you want to confess
Speaker 1: to it, Ross listens really loud.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my hearing is super bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so a lot of.
Speaker 1: People in radio. But but I was, but when you
Speaker 1: were twenty. If you're twenty, if you're twenty, what do
Speaker 1: you need subtitles for? And I, honestly, I think it's not.
Speaker 1: I don't think it has anything to do with how
Speaker 1: old you are. I think it's because people don't mix
Speaker 1: sound properly.
Speaker 4: No, the sound design and movies are horrible. Now, where
Speaker 4: like the action scene, they're super.
Speaker 1: Loud and hear a word they're saying yeah. But when
Speaker 1: they're just like a dialogue scene, it sounds like they're
Speaker 1: mumbling and you can't hear it. And then the two
Speaker 1: of those together it's awful. So what is And by
Speaker 1: the way, the setting on my TV called steady sound,
Speaker 1: it's probably it's you know, you know what that is?
Speaker 1: They I'm on all the TV's where it's just all right,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna it doesn't work, that's all bs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it doesn't work. It's in that combined with
Speaker 4: having a kid. We have, you know, an autistic child
Speaker 4: who at times can be super loud, right, so it's
Speaker 4: like we have to have it on so sometimes we
Speaker 4: can follow what's on the TV. And also, to be honest,
Speaker 4: it helps him learn to read like he likes reading
Speaker 4: the subtitles.
Speaker 1: Now, mm hmm, yeah, it's I mean, I understand all that,
Speaker 1: so I just again it's this isn't a political story.
Speaker 1: I just think that's fascinating because it never would have
Speaker 1: occurred to me when I was in my twenties with
Speaker 1: the subtitles on. You know what I'm saying. I just
Speaker 1: like it would I cause I'd been like, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not old, I can hear. But now the I
Speaker 1: get mad when an app updates on my streaming apps
Speaker 1: and then the subtitles are turned off, like son of them,
Speaker 1: I gotta turn them back on. YouTube turns them off
Speaker 1: all the time too, although the YouTube subtitles are pretty
Speaker 1: hit or miss, but still, yeah, honestly, I think it
Speaker 1: has more to do with the way that we mixed on.
Speaker 1: You can't watch a Marvel movie and hear the dialogue.
Speaker 1: Darcy Bell. Darcy Bell is a San Francisco woman. She
Speaker 1: is a defund the police ANTIFA activist. By the way,
Speaker 1: when she's out Antifa en, she goes by a pseudonym,
Speaker 1: Jerk Cousteau. AnyWho something happened over the weekend, so apparently
Speaker 1: she had everything she owns in a twenty six foot
Speaker 1: U haul truck parked on Market Street in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: and they stole it. They stole the truck, and so
Speaker 1: she what do you think she did? Call the police?
Speaker 1: You know, the ones that she hates and marches against
Speaker 1: and wants to defund. And she wants to defund. There's
Speaker 1: no mincing words when you look at her social media posting.
Speaker 1: She does not think police should exist. So I don't
Speaker 1: understand what she thinks, which you would then do in
Speaker 1: this situation, but she did, so she called him, and shockingly,
Speaker 1: San Francisco police don't really see it as a priority.
Speaker 1: It's almost as if they're wildly overwhelmed and unmotivated, because
Speaker 1: when they rust somebody then they just get out. So
Speaker 1: she called the police. She calls the police, and they
Speaker 1: didn't solve it immediately. So she is on a digital
Speaker 1: tirade over the fact that the police have not immediately
Speaker 1: located or stolen possessions. Quote, I haven't found my stuff.
Speaker 1: The cops didn't do anything, So I can't read the words.
Speaker 1: She wrote, U Haul maybe file an effing police report.
Speaker 1: There's cameras all over the city, but they haven't done anything.
Speaker 1: I just want my stuff back. So then she posts
Speaker 1: and some of you're gonna laugh when you hear this,
Speaker 1: and then you'll laugh if for those of you who
Speaker 1: don't immediately, you'll get it after I explain it. So
Speaker 1: she starts posting on social media videos wearing a mask,
Speaker 1: by the way, shooting a video in her house wearing
Speaker 1: a mask. Hey guys, if you see a twenty six
Speaker 1: foot U haul truck with Arizona plates, would you let
Speaker 1: me know? Because it had like everything I own on it.
Speaker 1: I think you mean in it. So a twenty six
Speaker 1: foot U haul, which is a very popular size with
Speaker 1: Arizona plates. You say, that's funny. And if you don't
Speaker 1: know why that's funny, I'm gonna let you in on
Speaker 1: something a little fun fact. Do you know that all
Speaker 1: U hauls are registered in Arizona. It's just that they
Speaker 1: picked that. I'm assuming that's obviously the from a licensing
Speaker 1: your vehicle standpoint, It's probably the cheapest, so they went
Speaker 1: with Arizona. Of fact, I believe that is the reason
Speaker 1: I was reading about a one time, So good luck
Speaker 1: fishing through all of those. But that also points to
Speaker 1: what the police are up against because all they know
Speaker 1: now they don't have a plate number in this other
Speaker 1: part here, so that's gonna be more helpful for the police.
Speaker 1: But you know, for people telling people to look for
Speaker 1: a popular sized U haul with Arizona plates, good luck
Speaker 1: with that. Then she got mad at you haul. Here
Speaker 1: we go it was stolen. Your know and market and
Speaker 1: fun fact you haul? She tagged them doesn't put GPS
Speaker 1: on their trucks, and thieves know this. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if she's implying that you haul once their trucks
Speaker 1: stolen or or what.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Here's a here's a little fun fact, ma'am. Do you
Speaker 1: know what an air tag is? Do you have what
Speaker 1: you share? I think everyone should have an air tag.
Speaker 1: Those are the little GPS cylinder things. They're very useful
Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons. You can use them if
Speaker 1: you mail something that you're a little hesitant about, but
Speaker 1: you know, as long as you're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: get it back or you know, take us charge to
Speaker 1: the person for it. I know somebody who put them
Speaker 1: in his travel gun cases. He's got air tags in there.
Speaker 1: That's pretty smart. Yeah, and yeah, you can use them
Speaker 1: for You could use them to lowjack your kid if
Speaker 1: they're not paying attention, Oh, why'd you say you were
Speaker 1: Billy's house when you were at the ball or whatever?
Speaker 1: So you know, if you got the U haul man,
Speaker 1: why didn't you put an air tag in there? Thrown
Speaker 1: in the glovebox? Super simple, instead of the wanting the
Speaker 1: police to go solve it and now and then they're like, well,
Speaker 1: the police know who she is, so they're doing this intentionally.
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: I think San Francisco that's the level of service you get.
Speaker 1: And it's because San Francisco basically made it like that,
Speaker 1: and idiots like her made it like that and the
Speaker 1: people that she elects. So I'm sorry all your stuff's
Speaker 1: in there. I'm sure it was really nice stuff. Probably
Speaker 1: a lot of like cat stuff and more cat stuff
Speaker 1: and crystals. There's got it, Ross. I think there's crystals,
Speaker 1: probably crystals, probably a bunch of crystals and cat stuff.
Speaker 1: So hopefully, hopefully they find the U haul with the
Speaker 1: Arizona play man. I'm rooting for you, all right, you
Speaker 1: want to hear here we go? All right, let's hear it.
Speaker 1: Let's hear a little from Trump over the weekend. So
Speaker 1: he does the NBC Weekend Show. And I've said why,
Speaker 1: you know, and others have said why does he subject
Speaker 1: himself to this stuff. He's not going to get a
Speaker 1: fair shake. They're going to be They're going to be
Speaker 1: combative from the start. The questions will be loaded beyond
Speaker 1: loaded questions and stupid stuff, stupid stuff that's been out.
Speaker 1: Like one of the questions this woman asked Trump is
Speaker 1: is he going to fire Christopher Ray the FBI director? Well?
Speaker 1: What do you think he nominated an FBI director? Do
Speaker 1: you think Christopher Ray just evaporates. I mean, maybe he quits.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he quits and somehow that's better
Speaker 1: for his pension. I don't know. But it's pretty clear
Speaker 1: that Trump is going to or wants to fire or
Speaker 1: have Christopher Ray not be the FBI director anymore. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know he appointed him, but a lot of us
Speaker 1: were screaming on appointed him? What are you doing? And
Speaker 1: I think that that I think Trump after that, and
Speaker 1: then that you know, all these intelligence people signing this
Speaker 1: garbage which turns out not to be true. I guess
Speaker 1: now they got the signature, has got a hundred signatures
Speaker 1: against Tulci Gabbard, So she obviously must be qualified. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he watched that lunacy and he watched it all play out,
Speaker 1: because everybody thought he was gone, like all right, we're
Speaker 1: done with him, and then we're just and then the
Speaker 1: and then the the punitive prosecutions and punishment started and
Speaker 1: the FBI contributed to that, and under the under Christopher Ray,
Speaker 1: Trump feels that that was a miscarriage of justice. The
Speaker 1: majority of Americans believe it was the miscarriage of justice.
Speaker 1: If you look at the polling around the New York trial,
Speaker 1: the majority, the majority of Democrats. The difference is Democrats
Speaker 1: were okay with it. So there's two parts of that
Speaker 1: thing that were like, yeah, yeah, it is political, is
Speaker 1: what they thought. But good because I hate him, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, probably not a good way to go about things,
Speaker 1: most people think. So Trump sees this and he's personally
Speaker 1: the one that it's done to, Well, how do you
Speaker 1: think he's going to react? It's you can say, well,
Speaker 1: it's all personal, but no, because what he's personally complaining
Speaker 1: about is a thing that's that absolutely appears to be
Speaker 1: outside of how we understand our judicial system should work.
Speaker 1: And everyone, the majority of people agree with what I
Speaker 1: just said. That it's outside of the normal way that
Speaker 1: the justice system works. It's political. The if you believe
Speaker 1: polls at all, you gotta believe that one, and it's
Speaker 1: pretty overwhelming, so it's not even margin of error. So
Speaker 1: the reason he goes there, though, is he likes screwing
Speaker 1: with them. There's no other answer. He enjoys to their
Speaker 1: face telling them they suck, which you know, that's how
Speaker 1: some people like to. I enjoy that. I I I
Speaker 1: when I tell Tom Tillisey sucks. Absolutely I kind of
Speaker 1: did in person, which is the whole thing I talked
Speaker 1: about here on the show. The guy was just being
Speaker 1: a jerk and wouldn't even talk to me for five
Speaker 1: seconds after we just had him on the show. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'll do it. I do it every day
Speaker 1: here on the radio. It is cathartic, but it also
Speaker 1: doesn't win you a lot of friends, and you're definitely
Speaker 1: not going to be in the cool kid club, I e.
Speaker 1: The swamp. But Trump doesn't want to be, so he'll
Speaker 1: go there. He doesn't want to cozy up to the journalists,
Speaker 1: so he'll go there and you'll have these combative interviews
Speaker 1: because I think he enjoys it, and I'm okay with that,
Speaker 1: and let's just let's hear a little of that show.
Speaker 9: And you're saying something, sir, that's significance. I just want
Speaker 9: to make sure I'm clear, which is that you're saying, Yes,
Speaker 9: you're going to focus on the people with criminal histories,
Speaker 9: but everyone who's here illegally has to go.
Speaker 6: We have to get the criminals out of our country.
Speaker 6: We have to get people that were taken out of
Speaker 6: mental institutions and put them back into that mental institution,
Speaker 6: no matter what country it is. Do you know that
Speaker 6: Venezuela the prisons are at the lowest point in terms
Speaker 6: of emptiness that they've ever been. They're taking their people
Speaker 6: out of those prisons by the thousands, and they're drugs
Speaker 6: and just to get back because they know exactly what
Speaker 6: you're getting. At number one, we're doing criminals, and we're
Speaker 6: going to do them really rapidly. We're getting the worst
Speaker 6: gang probably with MS thirteen and the Venezuelan gangs the
Speaker 6: worst in the world than they're shock violent people, and
Speaker 6: you see what they've done in Colorado and other places.
Speaker 6: They're taking over literally taking over apartment complexes.
Speaker 1: And doing it with impunity.
Speaker 6: They don't care.
Speaker 8: They couldn't.
Speaker 6: They just are takeing there.
Speaker 1: And by the way, everyone has seen the videos of
Speaker 1: them going and they've seen the multiple you see. You
Speaker 1: saw the guy who got the face pummeled by that
Speaker 1: group by the trendera ragua. They're in the Rura, Colorado.
Speaker 1: And this journalist, rather than watching that video, listening to
Speaker 1: the people and reading the police reports, has decided to
Speaker 1: inform herself completely and solely on a politician who looks bad.
Speaker 1: If this is going on, going, nah, this isn't happening.
Speaker 9: You know the local police say there that is not
Speaker 9: the case in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's totally the case. I mean, I think you
Speaker 1: don't believe the local pot I play it.
Speaker 6: I used to play it at my rallies in your
Speaker 6: single night. No there breaking into doors, they're taking over
Speaker 6: the buildings.
Speaker 2: You.
Speaker 6: By the way, the police, the police are afraid to
Speaker 6: do anything.
Speaker 9: You raise the point that the logistics are complicated. You
Speaker 9: said to yourself, what everything's going twenty yeah, I mean
Speaker 9: you need twenty four times more ICEED attention capacity just
Speaker 9: to deport one million people per year, not to mention
Speaker 9: more agents, more judges, more planes. Is it realistic? To
Speaker 9: deport everyone.
Speaker 1: This woman cheered when they want to add eighty two
Speaker 1: thousand I rs agents, shut your face.
Speaker 6: First of all, they're costing us a fortune. But we're
Speaker 6: starting with the criminals and we got to do it,
Speaker 6: and then we're starting with others, and we're going to
Speaker 6: see how it goes.
Speaker 1: Are the others?
Speaker 6: Others are other people outside of criminals. We have convicted murders.
Speaker 6: We don't mean people that are even on trial. We
Speaker 6: have people that have murdered numerous people are on our
Speaker 6: streets and in our farms, and we have to get
Speaker 6: them out of our country.
Speaker 1: What all right? So this is the this is what
Speaker 1: all the kicking and screaming initially is going to be
Speaker 1: with with Trump, and I think it will be the
Speaker 1: loudest over this issue. But I'm going to give you
Speaker 1: some numbers in the next segment. So if anybody wants
Speaker 1: to immediately own some idiot like this reporter that you
Speaker 1: can just use the numbers. We'll get to that in
Speaker 1: a moment. Let's get race stage. You can. Here's got
Speaker 1: some numbers. How you doing, sir?
Speaker 8: I got a number for you fifty six yards, baby.
Speaker 1: I got a number four you six? You know six. Number,
Speaker 1: that's the number of touchdowns that Arizona State scored in
Speaker 1: your stadium during championship game. Now here's another number. Five
Speaker 1: You know what that is. That's the number of these
Speaker 1: Cowboys have scored in that stadium this year. Wow geezeh
Speaker 1: boy fun fact? What else?
Speaker 8: Hey listen, Yeah, you take what you can get, right
Speaker 8: And anybody, and I was talking to some people this weekended.
Speaker 8: Anybody who have thought that that kid was making that
Speaker 8: kick except him because he's wink pretty confident, he wink.
Speaker 1: Did you know we're talking about the Clemson field goal kicker?
Speaker 1: And you guys shouldn't even have been there. No, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? They should have wanted Miami? No, sracuse
Speaker 1: well Miami.
Speaker 8: So you that's all show what it could have should
Speaker 8: have They were there, and honestly, I thought they should
Speaker 8: have run away with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, and how both teams are now in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: I don't is not holy cat. And by the way,
Speaker 1: should Glorgia be able to go to the playoffs? I
Speaker 1: thought the rule quarterback got injured, you can't go.
Speaker 8: Well, you know the rumor is that's why they kept Okay, well, yes,
Speaker 8: and that's why they kept them suited up on the
Speaker 8: sidelines to show that he wasn't injured. They didn't put
Speaker 8: him in streak here because that was the rumor I
Speaker 8: was reading.
Speaker 1: That was one of the nastiest hits I've ever seen
Speaker 1: in college football. Man, that was you see the helmet
Speaker 1: and d well, he's still in the air. He was,
Speaker 1: he was, Oh, he was all right.
Speaker 8: But they Gunner could be the answer. Who knows.
Speaker 1: By the way, look on the bright side, at least
Speaker 1: you're not the Bears who put up two yards in
Speaker 1: the first half of their game over the weekend. There
Speaker 1: this weekend anyway, there was there's some bad weather. We
Speaker 1: don't need bad web, so yeah, and it's the rounds
Speaker 1: of rain.
Speaker 8: Keep the Umbrell's handy till about Wednesday and Wednesday evening
Speaker 8: as his first round pushing through scattered around and ending
Speaker 8: west east from the try of the triangle around lunchtime
Speaker 8: and then coming on through and by the afternoon upper fifties,
Speaker 8: and then tonight we'll see another round of showers through
Speaker 8: tomorrow and to get off again some fog tomorrow morning too,
Speaker 8: and staying mild upper forties, low fifties tonight and miit
Speaker 8: upper sixties tomorrow, and then we'll see the showers continue
Speaker 8: Tomorrow night to Wednesday. May be some heavier rain at
Speaker 8: times right now, especially late Tuesday night to Wednesday, and
Speaker 8: a little bit sixties, and then it'll turn cooler and
Speaker 8: Sunday finally the sun's going to come back out. I
Speaker 8: think by Thursday Friday we're back in the forties with
Speaker 8: those of the twenties. So damn start to the week,
Speaker 8: mild start, a little cooler, more seasonable late week.
Speaker 1: I know, by the way, if you name your kid Gunner,
Speaker 1: that kid will play football, right, yes, but I love
Speaker 1: that name your football name. All right, appreciate it, man,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Seven forty nine back in just a few
Speaker 1: Know what this is. I'm going to explain to you
Speaker 1: because I've now seen three different states that have proposed this,
Speaker 1: and it looks like Ohio will probably get it done,
Speaker 1: and there's been some interest. North Carolina is a little
Speaker 1: different in the sense that we have obviously state run
Speaker 1: liquor stores, but Pennsylvania is one of the other states,
Speaker 1: and they also have state run liquor stores, so you
Speaker 1: could feasibly do this wherever. You could do this with
Speaker 1: either side. Sorry, pull that thing over here. You could
Speaker 1: do this with either either state run liquor stores or
Speaker 1: not state run liquor stores. But for those of you
Speaker 1: who like bourbon, you've probably spent some time at one
Speaker 1: of the fine ABC establishments near you coming through there.
Speaker 1: Maybe you even did the thing, or you went over
Speaker 1: the clerk and you're like, hey, remember me, I'm your friend.
Speaker 1: Anything in the back, which they love because they you know,
Speaker 1: they obviously don't hear that every minute of every day.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you want it, if you want
Speaker 1: to get a lot, actually no, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: tell you my tips and tricks. There is a way
Speaker 1: you can increase your odds. A couple of things you
Speaker 1: can do trying to find those rare bottles. And what's
Speaker 1: crazy about North Carolina is that since there's state run,
Speaker 1: if they're selling a high end bottle, they got to
Speaker 1: sell it for MSRP. So you can go. That's why
Speaker 1: you can go get a bottle of Blantons for sixty
Speaker 1: sixty five bucks or whatever. I'd say it's a little
Speaker 1: more than that now obviously, but you know it was
Speaker 1: when Blaton's was really really hot. It was like sixty
Speaker 1: five bucks. I know because i'd i'd buy. If I
Speaker 1: saw a bottle, I'd buy it because if I didn't
Speaker 1: drink it, one of my buddies would pay me for it.
Speaker 1: And and that's kind of how it went. So but
Speaker 1: then people would get a hold of a blant and
Speaker 1: you know, you could sell a bottle of Blantins down
Speaker 1: in Georgia for like six hundred dollars. And I know
Speaker 1: this because I went into a liquor store in Georgia.
Speaker 1: They were selling Blaantins for six hunds and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, and the dude's like, that's the that's the
Speaker 1: third one. I've sold the other two because you know,
Speaker 1: people are dumb or they really want a bottle of
Speaker 1: blends and they got a bunch of money and they're like,
Speaker 1: well whatever, it's better than me having to spend time
Speaker 1: in the store. But what it was is it was
Speaker 1: a microcosm of capitalism. But of course it's not fair.
Speaker 1: It's not fair that there was only ten bottles of
Speaker 1: whatever the bourbon was and only ten people got it
Speaker 1: and the other people didn't. And now if they want it,
Speaker 1: then they have to pay what somebody is reselling it for,
Speaker 1: which is generally a lot higher than MSRP. So here
Speaker 1: we go. This is what they are actually proposing. And
Speaker 1: I've heard some nitwits in North Carolina. I think this
Speaker 1: is a good idea. I don't know. Maybe you think
Speaker 1: it's a good idea. You can call and tell me
Speaker 1: that you're not a nitwit and I'm a nitwit. That's cool.
Speaker 1: That's what we do here. Are you ready? So under
Speaker 1: the proposal, there's two plans. One and it has to
Speaker 1: do with what a particular type of of liquor called
Speaker 1: allocated spirits. So allocate theory are just going to be
Speaker 1: the ones that are in short supply. All right, just
Speaker 1: read it as that. So under the what they're doing
Speaker 1: in Ohio, which merrors Pennsylvania, which mirrors Idaho. Uh is this?
Speaker 1: So if you go into a store and in Ohio,
Speaker 1: even though they're private stores, their state, they're there. Their
Speaker 1: way in is that they're well, they're regulated by the
Speaker 1: state because that's how the state does every Well, you're
Speaker 1: regulated by us, so you're not a private endeavor. We
Speaker 1: can do whatever we want. If you went into the
Speaker 1: store and let's say that they had a bottle of
Speaker 1: Van Winkle there, right, the holy grail for some of
Speaker 1: you I don't know, Eh, it's okay. One, you would
Speaker 1: only be allowed to buy one bottle per month, so
Speaker 1: you'd have to put your id down and they keep
Speaker 1: it on files, so then they would know what liquor
Speaker 1: you're buying, which is something that I hate about North Carolina.
Speaker 1: If you buy a bunch of bottles, so you're for
Speaker 1: tailor gaining. We got a bunch at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the year, and I gotta give you an address. F
Speaker 1: off and giving you my address. That's the dumbest thing.
Speaker 1: And it said, way we got to protect from the
Speaker 1: bar's doing it. Well, maybe you maybe you shouldn't screw
Speaker 1: the bar so hard? Have you guys thought of that?
Speaker 1: You doults anyway, So not only would you be on
Speaker 1: the list, but here's the thing that just got my
Speaker 1: blood boiling. You ready, you would be required to open
Speaker 1: it at the store. What one? Now you have an
Speaker 1: open container in your vehicle. Now, it's not illegal to transport.
Speaker 1: H I shouldn't say this. I don't know in North
Speaker 1: Carolina if it is most states it's not. I never
Speaker 1: I would never do this. I don't think it's illegal
Speaker 1: to transport an open bottle. You just can't like have
Speaker 1: it next to you. So, like you know, with our
Speaker 1: open bottles for like tailgating and stuff, there's a big
Speaker 1: cooler that's kind of like the bar. Don't steal it.
Speaker 1: And so a lot of those bottles roll over from
Speaker 1: week to week. So I don't I I don't know,
Speaker 1: but no, what if, well, then they can't resell it
Speaker 1: for a much higher price. Who the hell are you
Speaker 1: to tell me what I'm gonna do with this thing
Speaker 1: that I just bought. Maybe it's a gift for somebody
Speaker 1: I've bought. I've bought many people gifts that were a
Speaker 1: bottle of a decent bourbon or whatever. I got a
Speaker 1: lot of friends that are into they're into bourbon. Get
Speaker 1: them in a bottle. It's hard to find. Heck, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: give him some Colonel. I gave a bottle of Colonel
Speaker 1: here last year as a as a Christmas gift to somebody.
Speaker 1: So no, I'm not going to crack open this bottle
Speaker 1: that I just paid for that maybe I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: us a gift, But also maybe I don't want opened
Speaker 1: right now. I know it's not going bad next week,
Speaker 1: but that's not the point of it. Not everything's fair.
Speaker 1: You can't have everything, and sometimes people are gonna be
Speaker 1: dumb luck I can't tell, I can't. Let me give
Speaker 1: you one of the tips. If you if you're traveling
Speaker 1: and you if you're traveling somewhere very rule place, but
Speaker 1: a rule part of a populated county, because this is important.
Speaker 1: So like Yadkinville used to be my victim for a while.
Speaker 1: So if you're in a if you're if you're anywhere
Speaker 1: around a population center but on the outside of it.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, and I don't know exactly how
Speaker 1: it works, but I've had this explain to me. When
Speaker 1: they allocate to liquor stores based on by county by
Speaker 1: county purchase, they have to allocate evenly to the stores.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's still the case, but what
Speaker 1: you end up with is you end up with really
Speaker 1: expensive bottles of bourbon in a in an area where
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of people paying that kind of
Speaker 1: money for it. Snead's Ferry ABC a lot of times
Speaker 1: has stuff too, So like Elkin, Yadkinville, Snead's Fair. I
Speaker 1: used to hit those all the time when they're going
Speaker 1: to the beach or going up to uh Sparta area.
Speaker 1: Stop buy and swing in there. But I'm not opening
Speaker 1: a bottle on the premises because somebody's got mad that
Speaker 1: they weren't able to get a bottle that they wanted,
Speaker 1: which most people weren't able to get because they're very
Speaker 1: small amounts of them. No government, get out of everything, man,
Speaker 1: get out of everything. Yes, I did feel that that
Speaker 1: needed to be done today, so I did do the story.
Speaker 1: What of it already got me? Will you talk about
Speaker 1: bourbon cauz talking about government is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Forget that it's bourbon. It's the idea that anything that's
Speaker 1: out there that you want, uh ross. What was the
Speaker 1: wait time for the plate? What was the Xbox or
Speaker 1: PlayStation the last release, because generally you can't get those
Speaker 1: all on day one, right, there's just a bunch of
Speaker 1: people have to wait, right, I believe PlayStation was. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it was for the last Xbox release,
Speaker 1: but PlayStation like people, people go out and they were
Speaker 1: paying stupid money for these things and then if you
Speaker 1: wanted one, you just kind of had to wait. And
Speaker 1: then eventually, obviously the supply catches up and there you go.
Speaker 1: And while that may not do it with Bourbon, it's
Speaker 1: not the government's job to step in and go, I'm sorry, sony,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta, you gotta start the thing. When
Speaker 1: somebody buys it or you you have to allocate a
Speaker 1: certain amount. Life's not fair, and government is not here
Speaker 1: to make everything fair, especially when it's on the equity side.
Speaker 1: This is not equality the government. The other thing the
Speaker 1: government should guarantee is that if you're over the age
Speaker 1: of twenty one and you walk into an ABC store,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be thrown out because you're black, or
Speaker 1: gay or any you know, any of the other things.
Speaker 1: That's where government sits. And even people argue that. But
Speaker 1: I'm using it as an example, not that everyone who
Speaker 1: walks in absolutely positively can have the same experience, because
Speaker 1: there is only so much of certain things. But man,
Speaker 1: the government can't help themselves. There's always a pribe. I
Speaker 1: always gonna get their nose under there. This is why
Speaker 1: the more I read stories like this, the more enthusiastic
Speaker 1: I am. If Elon Musk and crew are able to
Speaker 1: pull off the Doge thing. I mean, there's going to
Speaker 1: be that people are just screaming bloody murder. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, is there less people unnecessarily,
Speaker 1: so FEMA should start. Do you know, by the way,
Speaker 1: those FEMA trailers we talked about, remember the ones that
Speaker 1: I could have organized in one segment on this show
Speaker 1: enough people to deliver all the FEMA trailers sitting there
Speaker 1: in Hickory and then nobody nobody would, nobody knew nothing.
Speaker 1: Our governor would never comment on it. Are soon to
Speaker 1: be governor didn't want to comment on it. And it
Speaker 1: was embarrassing. There's embarrassing as people sit there in tents
Speaker 1: and makeshift shelters getting told they can't put temporary housing
Speaker 1: on their own property because of flood planes and building
Speaker 1: codes by elected officials who live there. Shut up, And
Speaker 1: those trailers were sitting there and anyone could go and
Speaker 1: see them, anyone. There were videos. Oh yeah, here's the
Speaker 1: videos of them. And we're no, you're misconstruining it, or
Speaker 1: it's the logistics of getting them up there are tough.
Speaker 8: Well, what do you mean.
Speaker 1: I looked at the size of them. They don't look
Speaker 1: like it even have to be flagged as oversized. But
Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to have a
Speaker 1: little car with the oversized load thing, whatever, you want
Speaker 1: to get some State troopers to do a caravan of
Speaker 1: trucks with those things, you get them up in the
Speaker 1: mountain in one day. One day. Well, FEMA last week
Speaker 1: was being asked a question by w b T who
Speaker 1: was it WBTV? Yeah, all right, so they were asked
Speaker 1: a question at a Wednesday presser where they acknowledged that
Speaker 1: they have them down there, and they started digging in
Speaker 1: and here's what we learned over the weekend. One. They're
Speaker 1: very sorry, They're very sorry. Apparently there was a mix up,
Speaker 1: and yeah, they were supposed to get those travel trailers
Speaker 1: and tiny homes delivered up there, and they've just been
Speaker 1: sitting in Hickory. And by the way, most of them
Speaker 1: are still sitting in Hickory as of Sunday. Here's the numbers.
Speaker 1: FEMA spokesman. Following that comment that was made, Obviously, reporters
Speaker 1: like what do you mean? And by the way, there's
Speaker 1: the same reporters who knew full well those trailers weren't
Speaker 1: there and only now got around to getting a FEMA
Speaker 1: official to comment on it. The spokesperson for FEMA apologized
Speaker 1: in response to the question about why the agency failed
Speaker 1: to deliver dozens of travel trailers and actually it's more
Speaker 1: than dozens. It's a one hundred and three. Believe why
Speaker 1: the agency failed to deliver these trailers to North Carolina
Speaker 1: residents displaced by Helene, And then we started getting into
Speaker 1: the numbers. According to FEMA, the goal was to deliver
Speaker 1: the one hundred and three temporary travel trailers by the
Speaker 1: end of the week, so it was Wednesday. They asked
Speaker 1: a question. They said, they're going to do by the
Speaker 1: end of the week, which is feasible. Remember, you could
Speaker 1: do this in a day if you got enough trucks
Speaker 1: in a day. However, only accomplished in delivering forty six. Currently,
Speaker 1: there are five hundred families that have already received approval
Speaker 1: for one of these, and prior to them asking the question,
Speaker 1: FEMA had only delivered twenty seven. So Wednesday of last week,
Speaker 1: out of five hundred families promised these, with one hundred
Speaker 1: and three sitting in Hickory, twenty seven had been delivered.
Speaker 1: Once they got a fire lit under their butts, they
Speaker 1: only were able to get forty six totals. And he says,
Speaker 1: so it's not forty six more, it's forty six total
Speaker 1: now and I don't know what the number is. This
Speaker 1: morning as I sit here, But that was the number
Speaker 1: from Sunden Saturday, Saturday. That's lunacy. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: You tell me you can't take a giant knife to
Speaker 1: that organization. What is with the ineptitude of these people?
Speaker 1: But Buddhaji j Ot over the weekend talking about his
Speaker 1: biggest accomplishment is spending all your money in a crap
Speaker 1: banner and getting three charging stations built. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a badge of honor. And FEMA is really sorry this
Speaker 1: thing's happened. No, you know who needs to be really sorry? Yes,
Speaker 1: you because this is insane. But also all of you
Speaker 1: politicians who feasibly could have brought attention. I can scream
Speaker 1: about on the radio all I want. If the governor
Speaker 1: is standing over there staring at the trailers as a
Speaker 1: backdrop holding a press conference, I promise you FEMA hals
Speaker 1: trailers up the hill because it's now you're on blast.
Speaker 1: At that point, you're on blast and you're and it's
Speaker 1: the governor sitting there and he's pointing at these trailers,
Speaker 1: going what the hell is this? Why are these sitting
Speaker 1: out here by the Hickory Airport for anyone to go
Speaker 1: see you?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: You go stare at the fence. Don't break in, but
Speaker 1: go see them. They're just sitting there. There's video. I
Speaker 1: posted a video on the Twitter yesterday. Go look at that.
Speaker 1: And this is where we are for everyone who's being
Speaker 1: told that there's there's not problems or there is just
Speaker 1: minor problems. No, that is pure dysfunction. That's the Clinton
Speaker 1: Foundation getting all that hundreds of millions and building five
Speaker 1: homes in Haiti which are probably all burned to cinder
Speaker 1: now because things not going well down there. This is
Speaker 1: why people want things like doge not the coin, the
Speaker 1: office or the advisory Council or however they position this thing.
Speaker 1: And then I saw nit go well, it won't be
Speaker 1: an actual government office.
Speaker 6: Do you know?
Speaker 1: There's rumors that they want to cut the total number
Speaker 1: of government offices to UH ninety nine or one hundred
Speaker 1: or something. The number currently is three hundred and something,
Speaker 1: so that's a pretty heavy lift. But also hearing that
Speaker 1: there's ninety nine offices would blow my mind. That seems
Speaker 1: like way too many ross Does ninety nine seem like
Speaker 1: way too many federal government offices? Does ninety nine one hundred?
Speaker 1: You just think about one hundred different agencies and organizations
Speaker 1: out there that can essentially subjugate you in some way,
Speaker 1: and currently that number is more than three times that.
Speaker 1: I don't know that they'll get there, but there's lots
Speaker 1: of fat, lots of fat, and it's demonstrated every day.
Speaker 1: But the big takeaway the way that they wrote this
Speaker 1: article is FEMA is very sorry. What was crazy is
Speaker 1: how upbeat this FEMA official was at the start of
Speaker 1: the Q and a. And then when that question got
Speaker 1: asked and they kind of had to fess up to it,
Speaker 1: the whole thing changed. The follow up question, there could
Speaker 1: be five hundred of these because I remember they said
Speaker 1: that they've had five hundred families, so you're saying there's
Speaker 1: five hundred of these. Eventually it could be given out.
Speaker 1: And the FEMA media relations specialist le Tenga Hope said,
Speaker 1: here's the beautiful part about it. The answer is yes,
Speaker 1: and we've done even more so we can handle it.
Speaker 1: Apparently you can't. If I can, if I could band
Speaker 1: together a group of good old boys to do it
Speaker 1: in a day as an idiot on the radio, and
Speaker 1: it would be done correctly by the way, be done correct,
Speaker 1: and it would be correct and people would be polite
Speaker 1: and helpful, and they'll probably be hugging each other when
Speaker 1: it all got done, and then they'd all have a
Speaker 1: little sweet tea together or something, I don't know, be
Speaker 1: a wholesome moment. And if I could accomplish that with
Speaker 1: one segment on radio and a bunch of used to
Speaker 1: up patriots. You're telling me you can't get those things
Speaker 1: up the mountain, even after you've apologized, you can't accomplish
Speaker 1: it after you've been put on notice. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: know I'm ranting on this. It's just mind blowing to me.
Speaker 1: And then you try to spin it as a positive thing,
Speaker 1: but you're very sorry. Nobody's buying this, and really the
Speaker 1: gutting of some of these agencies can't come fast enough.
Speaker 1: Will there be stops along the way where maybe we
Speaker 1: cut something we shouldn't, I'm sure, but let's begin. We'll
Speaker 1: be back and it's only Monday, so we'll rock and
Speaker 1: roll with that. But luckily it does not preclude us
Speaker 1: from talking to Ray staging from the weather right, albeit
Speaker 1: just really differently. So, is there any any of the
Speaker 1: Bowl games announced you're really pumped about because I saw
Speaker 1: some you know, State plays ECU, which and then it's
Speaker 1: also the first game of the season next year. So
Speaker 1: I think some people are feeling like, oh, they wanted
Speaker 1: something different, especially guys who like to travel to Bowl
Speaker 1: games like I did. I've played right first state to Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: but enough to travel to Annapolis, Maryland. Where'd you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Uh see, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I don't know what ends up happening at the bowl games, right,
Speaker 8: I mean guess that's gonna be the big debate. So
Speaker 8: I I haven't looked at the bowl schedule yet.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, yeah, I know, I I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just used an excuse to go to Florida around
Speaker 1: New Year's Yeah. Yeah, that's a good down there, right.
Speaker 1: And did you see, by the way, you see that
Speaker 1: Texas is not gonna be allowed to have their mascot
Speaker 1: at the Georgia Texas game. It's not allowed to really
Speaker 1: that the I because because that incident a few years ago,
Speaker 1: they weren't allowed to have it. I guess, oh Longhorn
Speaker 1: tried to kill the bulldog.
Speaker 8: So yeah, well there's that, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, vaguely had my money on that on that cow.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, the our game is gonna.
Speaker 8: Affect there's family issues now involved. You know, grand kids
Speaker 8: were scheduled to go with Grandma out of Christmas dinner,
Speaker 8: and now my one daughter is gonna be all up
Speaker 8: in arms because the game's at four, and oh, like
Speaker 8: I wonder if we can move? Yeah, you know, so
Speaker 8: there's gonna be some conflict in the home because my
Speaker 8: daughter's gonna move the game.
Speaker 1: They could maybe they would just for race stags right anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, we got the five.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, damn start to the week. Mild start, no
Speaker 8: wintery precip to worry about this week. Uh, I don't
Speaker 8: think we're gonna see much in the way of sunshine
Speaker 8: till maybe Thursday. But these showers coming through now will
Speaker 8: end in most of us by lunchtime are done west
Speaker 8: to east the upper fifties today. Tonight we stay in
Speaker 8: the fifties basically, with another dose of rain coming in
Speaker 8: and scattered showers around Tomorrow, some fog in the morning,
Speaker 8: even milder as we go mid upper sixties Tomorrow night
Speaker 8: and to Wednesday there could be some heavier rain, maybe
Speaker 8: a couple of inches, and by Wednesday evening seven o'clock
Speaker 8: we could have anywhere between one and three inches between
Speaker 8: today through Wednesday, yeah, so you So it comes at
Speaker 8: around though, so we're not looking at a flash flood
Speaker 8: threat obviously in the western parts of the state case
Speaker 8: seed Yo, certainly they don't want to see any flooding.
Speaker 1: So we got fires from the down tree.
Speaker 8: Well yeah, we could have that too, but uh, I
Speaker 8: think by the end of the week though, the sudden
Speaker 8: be back pretty pleasant for this time of year in
Speaker 8: the mid upper forties and returned with blows in the twenties,
Speaker 8: you know, pretty close, little blow average, but where we
Speaker 8: should be. But damn mile beginning of the week and
Speaker 8: then some later.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well I appreciate it, sir. Tomorrow we'll
Speaker 1: chat with you. If technologiyly allows, we will talk to you. Right,
Speaker 1: thank you, appreciate it. All right, raced agic there. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk to Jeff Bellinger here in just a
Speaker 1: moment because I I flipped the brake there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, just going back quickly the Superman Batman stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just like, is there anything you don't want to ruin?
Speaker 1: And I've seen people in the numbers back this up.
Speaker 1: Where people who are traditional uh traditional how do you say?
Speaker 1: Comic book readers are are a lot more money is
Speaker 1: go into the Japanese you know, manga or whatever. I
Speaker 1: know nothing about it. I'm sorry. If you like it,
Speaker 1: that's that's good on you. I think some of it's
Speaker 1: a little weird, but you know what, it's not. It's
Speaker 1: not woke, right, they're not woking up that stuff, And
Speaker 1: so I understand why people gravitate. You got Superman lecturing
Speaker 1: Batman about his rich white guy privilege. Shut up. Do
Speaker 1: you remember this is the same guy who wanted Batman
Speaker 1: to go broke for social justice. These are the people,
Speaker 1: by the way, who are also sitting there cheering when
Speaker 1: CEOs get assassinated. And you can't convince me otherwise. And
Speaker 1: by the way, what a weird twist on that story.
Speaker 1: Do you see what they say he had in that backpack,
Speaker 1: which some people don't think it's a backpack, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe monopoly money was full of monopoly money.
Speaker 1: What's what's with that? Why? Explain to me why in
Speaker 1: the world? And then I thought it dawned upon me
Speaker 1: he was gonna throw that on the body, and I
Speaker 1: think he forgot there's no other reason to have it, right,
Speaker 1: And that's how you send the message about the evil
Speaker 1: whatever you know the evil you know the evilness of
Speaker 1: the insurance industry, the evilness of CEOs, the evilness of whatever.
Speaker 1: You know your message is, and you throw the monopoly
Speaker 1: money it it obviously it's fake money, but it also
Speaker 1: you're a monopoly see you get it. I think that's
Speaker 1: probably the direction they were going. I don't know. We'll
Speaker 1: theorize in a moment. Let's get to Jeff Bellinger from
Speaker 1: Bloomberg News. How you doing there, sir?
Speaker 4: I'm doing well, Casey.
Speaker 1: Hope you had a great weekend.
Speaker 7: Stocks closed out a winning week with a mixed session
Speaker 7: on Friday, with the Dow losing a little ground, but
Speaker 7: modest advances were enough to put the Nasdaq and S
Speaker 7: ANDP at record highs ahead of the weekend, and just
Speaker 7: the opposite this morning, the S and P and Nasdaq
Speaker 7: futures are a little bit lower and the Dow futures
Speaker 7: are up thirty six points, So we'll see what happens
Speaker 7: at nine to thirty when the opening bell rings. Shares
Speaker 7: of inter Public Group were up about fifteen percent pre
Speaker 7: market after it was announced the advertised company will be
Speaker 7: acquired by Omnicom. It's a stock for stock transaction and
Speaker 7: it will create the world's biggest advertising agency. The combined
Speaker 7: company will keep the Omnicom name. President elect Donald Trump
Speaker 7: says he will not try to oust Federal Reserve Chair
Speaker 7: Jerome Powell when he returns to the White House. Trump
Speaker 7: discussed the matter on Meet the Press. Powell said last
Speaker 7: week he's looking forward to a good relationship with the
Speaker 7: new administration. Threats of new tariffs have prompted some people
Speaker 7: to stockpiled daily necessities because they fear prices will jump
Speaker 7: when Donald Trump takes office. A third of the consumer
Speaker 7: surveyed by credit cards dot Com said they're buying extra
Speaker 7: toilet paper, non perishable foods, and other day Today necessities,
Speaker 7: even though the threatened tariffs, if they're actually imposed, would
Speaker 7: only apply to foreign goods. Walmart says the countdown to
Speaker 7: Christmas is in the final stretch. It's going to leverage
Speaker 7: its supply chain and store footprint for eleventh hour shoppers.
Speaker 7: Walmart customers will be able to place sword as late
Speaker 7: as four pm local time Christmas Eve for express delivery.
Speaker 7: Mawana II was the number one movie for a second
Speaker 7: weekend in a row comScore estimates. The animated film from
Speaker 7: Walt Disney took in another fifty two million dollars, and Casey,
Speaker 7: tipped workers can expect to receive more tips this holiday season.
Speaker 7: A Bank Create survey finds more people are planning to
Speaker 7: tip this year. The size of the tips will be
Speaker 7: about the same as last year. The survey found that
Speaker 7: younger consumers will be the most frequent and most generous tippers.
Speaker 1: Casey, All right, well, probably people are more likely to
Speaker 1: work in the service industry. So there you go. That
Speaker 1: makes sense, all right, Jeff, appreciate it, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4: Okay, have a good day.
Speaker 1: Do that teriff story too. Or people are running around
Speaker 1: in their panic buying toilet paper. Get what is your
Speaker 1: fascination with going to the bathroom America, especially if you're
Speaker 1: buying American made products which aren't subject to tariffs. Some
Speaker 1: people are just stupid, man, But whatever thest it is. Uh,
Speaker 1: look at that Donald Trump is driving consumer spending, so
Speaker 1: good on him. All right. Anyway, a couple of things
Speaker 1: real quick, ross did you see that you see the
Speaker 1: speaking of Trump? Do you see the colognad that he
Speaker 1: did with Jill Biden's Yeah no, no, I did.
Speaker 4: Stephen Kenton just actually send it to me like twenty
Speaker 4: minutes ago and he's, Oh my god, he's just like
Speaker 4: he captioned it, I love this guy, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: I'm like, sotwa she so yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, you know she voted for the reopening of
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, right, And so Trump's sitting there and he
Speaker 1: has two seats away from Jill Biden and Ashley Biden.
Speaker 1: I think it's on the other side of her. And
Speaker 1: there was one photo they were floating around where Jill's
Speaker 1: kind of giving a course look or no, Ashley's giving
Speaker 1: a course look, and they're like, see, they can't even
Speaker 1: stand being around him. But all the other photos are
Speaker 1: like him talking to the both of them, and they're
Speaker 1: all smiling, although Jill's smile looks a little suss as
Speaker 1: they as the kids say, and so what does Trump do?
Speaker 1: He takes that photo of them looking animal. He's telling
Speaker 1: him something and he says, here are my new Trump
Speaker 1: perfumes and colognes I called him fight Fight Fight because
Speaker 1: they represent us winning great Christmas guests for the family
Speaker 1: go to whatever. The website is Merry Christmas and Happy
Speaker 1: New Year, and the tagline in the ad or over
Speaker 1: the pictures you see the bottles of Fight, Fight, Fight,
Speaker 1: and it says a fragrance your enemies can't resist. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: that's funny, man, that's funny. I'm sure they be very upset,
Speaker 1: and they're upset to She's like, oh, you called her enemy.
Speaker 1: He probably wants her execute. Well, she called him hitler.
Speaker 4: But you can't convince me that she did not vote
Speaker 4: for him. Listen, the big thing on election day was
Speaker 4: she came out wearing that super bread right bright red dress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also think she was the driving force
Speaker 1: for wanting to keep Biden there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think she was pissed off they threw him out
Speaker 4: and she's like, screw you, Kamala, I'm voting for Trump.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So that's that's just so on brand man.
Speaker 1: Anybody does it smell good? Does anybody have any fight
Speaker 1: fight fight Colonne? Do you put it on your ear?
Speaker 1: Where do you put it? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: People had madd He's sewn clones. What is a private citizen?
Speaker 1: And do whatever you as president elect? I mean, sell colognes.
Speaker 1: Don't buy him if you don't want them. Every time
Speaker 1: this guy sells something, they lose their crap, whether it's
Speaker 1: uh uh, the coins, right, remember the coins are making
Speaker 1: fun of them, which, by the way, they don't think
Speaker 1: anything to do with those coins. The first ones. He
Speaker 1: just kind of he tweeted about them. Whatever. People are lunatics,
Speaker 1: but you don't know what's going on around you, dude.
Speaker 1: I saw I saw a number. I'm gonna be delicate here.
Speaker 1: I saw a number that blew my mind, all right.
Speaker 1: One the story is this is a this is becoming
Speaker 1: very popular among gen z and that is choking and
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean by that in a
Speaker 1: private manner if you catch my drift right, and doctors
Speaker 1: are very worried. But there's a stat in this story.
Speaker 1: I don't know why all the twenty somethings want to
Speaker 1: strangle each other while they're hooking up, but whatever, there's
Speaker 1: obviously danger there. And then I'm hit with this stat.
Speaker 1: They estimate that a thousand Americans die every year from
Speaker 1: choking themselves when they're this is actually doing alone time
Speaker 1: all choke yourself. Well they're doing it. That means and
Speaker 1: I broke this down. If a thousand Americas, a thousand
Speaker 1: people walking around you annually choke themselves to death with
Speaker 1: no pants on, that means that if you base allocated
Speaker 1: on population, that that would account for about thirty or no, no,
Speaker 1: it would be more than that. What do we have
Speaker 1: about fourp I guess we have about four percent of
Speaker 1: the population in North Carolina. They were talking dozens and
Speaker 1: dozens of people, which means those are the ones who
Speaker 1: get it wrong. What is you got to build an apparatus?
Speaker 1: What is it if you need a rude Goldberg machine
Speaker 1: talk to somebody? Holy cow, man, a thousand people. That
Speaker 1: means somebody you know that's that is in danger for that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Internet did that to us
Speaker 1: or what. Man, it's only when you get it real
Speaker 1: wrong and you're famous, do you hear about it? You know,
Speaker 1: a little little carroting action, little Hutchins action. But nah,
Speaker 1: there's a thousand people in the US who kill themselves
Speaker 1: this way. I just feel like we would have heard
Speaker 1: about it. That's all I'm saying. Again, trying to be
Speaker 1: delicate here, but holy crap. Sometimes you just see a
Speaker 1: number and you're like, that can't be right. But also
Speaker 1: it would be something that's probably pretty easy to tallally
Speaker 1: to whatever the coroner says. And if you show up
Speaker 1: and the guy's got, you know, a bunch of like
Speaker 1: belts hanging off the ceiling. I add that one of
Speaker 1: the added the stack. So there you go. All right. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: there's things you learned that you just didn't want to know.
Speaker 1: Did you know that? Also on YouTube just announced they're
Speaker 1: demonetizing AI adult video tutorials. Apparently there's a whole cottage
Speaker 1: industry of YouTube creators that just show people how to
Speaker 1: make AI adult films, and YouTube had to step in
Speaker 1: and demonetize it. I'm telling you, there's everything on the Internet.
