Speaker 1: Glad to have you a long and I'm just thankful
Speaker 1: we don't have a zillion audio cuts, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: Ross is very sad about. But we have a lot
Speaker 1: of weird stuff today. Plus I got some rollover it
Speaker 1: and get to yesterday, so it's gonna be a bounce
Speaker 1: around day. Also, are they still looking for the murderer?
Speaker 1: And I think a murderer escape. Remember when that used
Speaker 1: to be a big deal, right, it was the start
Speaker 1: of any good horror movie. They're like, the murderer escape
Speaker 1: the whatever. Usually it had to be like an insane
Speaker 1: asylum or something, right, because they're like, oh yeah, but
Speaker 1: like real life murder escapes, they tend to go in
Speaker 1: in a couple of directions. And there's a reason that
Speaker 1: jail staff is not jazzed at the idea of having
Speaker 1: to transport you to a medical facility. I know, we
Speaker 1: get into these debates or they'll be like, you know so,
Speaker 1: and and there are situations where clearly clearly staff did
Speaker 1: not do what they should do, either through a little
Speaker 1: chicken little where they convinced themselves they didn't have an obligation,
Speaker 1: or just sheer negligence Epstein. Although that was that might
Speaker 1: have been something different that being said that that trend
Speaker 1: or they got to take them over to a medical facility.
Speaker 1: That's bad. I can't tell you the number of stories
Speaker 1: I've done over the years, and it's because you're not
Speaker 1: in a controllable situation or not to the extent that
Speaker 1: you were. So I get that. But also every now
Speaker 1: and then we get those murder escape because he was
Speaker 1: on the trust farm with no fences, picking beats or whatever,
Speaker 1: and they're like, God, he murdered six people and then
Speaker 1: he had the audacity to walk off the trust farm, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, that happened years ago in North Carolina. Right,
Speaker 1: did we have a dude who was a murderer who
Speaker 1: was at one of the North Carolina one of the
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're called in North Carolina, but
Speaker 1: basically very minimum secure. They just wandered off. So uh,
Speaker 1: but you know it used to be if there was
Speaker 1: a murder on the loose. Uh, you know, some sorority
Speaker 1: girls were gonna die. But we'll we'll fill you up,
Speaker 1: fill you in on that. Unfortunately, though, we don't get
Speaker 1: to start the show on a a happy note for everybody.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I hate to see this because I think
Speaker 1: it is the I think it's the fuel that powers
Speaker 1: the boat, whatever you want to call it. You study
Speaker 1: out even light drinking is harmful to older adults. Quote
Speaker 1: from the first drop Ross. Do you think you know
Speaker 1: who's listening already this morning? Probably you know who is?
Speaker 1: You know who? Right? Somebody might be considered among the
Speaker 1: uh this demographic here who I want to keep safe,
Speaker 1: I want to keep healthy, and I wanted to do
Speaker 1: this story before he cracked his first coal in this morning.
Speaker 1: A twelve year study found, let's see, of one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty five thousand adults, that's a lot age sixty
Speaker 1: and older, found that even light drinking associated with an
Speaker 1: increase in horribleness answer all sorts of stuff. The uptick
Speaker 1: most pronounced in older adults who have health troubles, but
Speaker 1: does not discriminate even if you don't. You're just getting old.
Speaker 1: We're all getting older. The findings contradict the previously held
Speaker 1: belief that small quantities of alcohol, particularly red wine, are
Speaker 1: good for the heart once you hit sixty. Apparently that's
Speaker 1: not the case. I just ruined a lot of weekends
Speaker 1: or early morning weekdays before you head over to a
Speaker 1: trade Joe's that creepy all right, do do do?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 1: So there you go, person from the Northeast. The new
Speaker 1: research published Monday and the journal JAMA. That's a big
Speaker 1: one I've heard of. That one maintain there is no
Speaker 1: reduction in heart disease deaths among lighter moderate drinkers, regardless
Speaker 1: of health or socioeconomic status. However, that light drinking uh
Speaker 1: starts going into the negative territory once you pass the
Speaker 1: age of sixty. I bet she's fun. Lead author of
Speaker 1: the study, Rosario or Tolo, tell us The New York Times,
Speaker 1: we did not find evidence of a beneficial association. She
Speaker 1: added that, far from being good for you, consuming alcohol
Speaker 1: likely raises your risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease
Speaker 1: once you're past sixty from the first drop. So there
Speaker 1: you go, sad day, sad day. Think of all the
Speaker 1: money you're gonna save it that's for you. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: or you know, or you could just be like, I
Speaker 1: want to see more studies. But you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If you're going to ruin everything else around us, right,
Speaker 1: you're gonna destroy democracy, our trust in institutions of law enforcement,
Speaker 1: as well as journalism. Not granted they're doing that all
Speaker 1: on their own. But when I say you, I just
Speaker 1: mean you, you in general, you from behind the U
Speaker 1: lizard people. You're gonna do that. At least let us
Speaker 1: have our booze. Do you remember Ross? Do you remember
Speaker 1: seeing the numbers during COVID of like how much liquor
Speaker 1: the state was selling? Yeah? And I thought it was
Speaker 1: funny because that's when I stopped drinking. Yeah. It's like
Speaker 1: everybody else was like weak and had to cope. But
Speaker 1: you would have You could have blended. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I hear you, But like you could have, you could
Speaker 1: have blended bad people were I remember going I remember
Speaker 1: going to the ABC sturing during during COVID, the one
Speaker 1: on Capital right across from the station there which that
Speaker 1: one boy, that thing kicks off right when it opens,
Speaker 1: the one not capitable of our they are they're busy
Speaker 1: from the word get. But I remember going over there
Speaker 1: during COVID. It was it was right after they did
Speaker 1: the lockdown thing, right where you got to have your
Speaker 1: papers if you want to travel? Are you what was
Speaker 1: the term whatever whatever we whatever the term was, I
Speaker 1: can't remember essential? Are you an essential? Essential employee? And
Speaker 1: I remember iHeart like you're an essential employee. Like that
Speaker 1: doesn't make me feel better, but I guess I kind
Speaker 1: of get it, so uh yeah, yeah so they uh,
Speaker 1: I mean it.
Speaker 3: It was crazy looking back at that, it's absolutely insane
Speaker 3: that they said that that was essential but they closed
Speaker 3: the gyms.
Speaker 1: Well, but that was. But here's the thing. It's like
Speaker 1: you got if you took people's booze away.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's that's that's sad, but very sad. What
Speaker 3: do you mean It's sad that you're so dependent on it,
Speaker 3: you're a slave to it.
Speaker 1: It's really gross. Well here's the mere slave to it.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree.
Speaker 3: So weird, like when you're an alcoholic and you're drinking,
Speaker 3: you assume everybody else is right, right, yeah, but then
Speaker 3: you stop and you look at it and you're like,
Speaker 3: it's so weird. How society is all built around it.
Speaker 3: It's super weird.
Speaker 1: A lot of events, absolutely, and people just look for
Speaker 1: a reason to do it. Yeah, they'll be like, well,
Speaker 1: they'll they'll pick something else and then they'll be like
Speaker 1: let's and then let's uh, let's do it, but let's
Speaker 1: do it surrounded by beer taps, right, Like they look
Speaker 1: for a reason to do it. It's super weird. But
Speaker 1: here's on the on the flip side though, on the
Speaker 1: flip side, though, you know, liquor, the only place you
Speaker 1: can get well, the other place you get legal liquor
Speaker 1: in North Carolina is from these state stores. And I
Speaker 1: I gotta think they sat in there and they realize completely, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh what would happen, Like they cut off the liquors.
Speaker 3: Or they realized how much money they could make. They're like,
Speaker 3: we're going to make so much money.
Speaker 1: Look at you all the doctor evil on this. You're
Speaker 1: probably right. Somebody had to think that. But they were
Speaker 1: willing to deal with Christians who couldn't go sit in
Speaker 1: a parking lot and listen to a sermon in their
Speaker 1: car with the windows. But they weren't going to take
Speaker 1: on the alcoholic alliance. That's what's crazy, which is going
Speaker 1: to make you, you know, more susceptible to getting sick. Well,
Speaker 1: but it's about soothing the masses. It's about soothing it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah at that point, absolutely one hundred percent. So oh man,
Speaker 1: all right, So there you go, bad news Boston. Paul
Speaker 1: I Hope, I said his name, What are you going
Speaker 1: to do? All right? Oh, yeah, he is. Their study
Speaker 1: is wrong. I am living proof, all right, just saying
Speaker 1: I I I tried, man, I tried. This was your intervention.
Speaker 1: This was it. We had a note for you. We
Speaker 1: were gonna send you to that that ranch. Is that
Speaker 1: where they tried to send the intervention people, some doctor
Speaker 1: Phil at a ranch or something. Was that even his show?
Speaker 1: Or was it some other dude? I never wanted an intervention?
Speaker 4: Thing?
Speaker 1: Was was that doctor Phil? Or was that? I never watched?
Speaker 1: No note, I don't see clips Doctor Drew. Oh, doctor Drew. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'd see clips and I'm just like, Nope, I
Speaker 1: have no interest in watching this. But then every now
Speaker 1: and then somebody'd like really lose their crap, and then
Speaker 1: I'd watch it like I'd like, what's her name? To
Speaker 1: catch me outside? Girl. I still don't know what prompted that,
Speaker 1: other than she was obviously a lunatic who then parlayed
Speaker 1: her eighteen year old and thisess into a million dollars
Speaker 1: in twenty four hours on the only fans. But so
Speaker 1: maybe she got the last laugh. But she was just
Speaker 1: a mouthy what fourteen year old or something trying to
Speaker 1: fight everybody and think she's gangster. Yeah, know she's like
Speaker 1: super rich and now she's super rich. What a horrible message,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You're a fourteen year old. Look,
Speaker 1: I had two little sisters, and don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: I was a tird but girls, sorry, girls, thirteen fourteen
Speaker 1: year old girls that you're related to anyway, I guess
Speaker 1: Stott when you're a thirteen fourteen year old boy. But like,
Speaker 1: you go through some stuff. Guys go through some stuff too.
Speaker 1: But I remember, like my sisters, which there used to
Speaker 1: be fun and now they're teenagers and it was a
Speaker 1: whole thing. So you couple that with, uh I hate
Speaker 1: my parents, who look what this girl did. That's a
Speaker 1: horrible I mean to be fair though, I mean back
Speaker 1: when you were a kid and you were a jerk,
Speaker 1: that's before OnlyFans. So you didn't have the way to
Speaker 1: become a millionaire. No, that's well, I mean you could
Speaker 1: still go to you know, you could go to Hollywood
Speaker 1: or wherever they whatever CD suburb they do the filming,
Speaker 1: or I guess Florida and you know, actually get into
Speaker 1: the booze if you wanted. But uh no, you're right,
Speaker 1: that is a pre only fan. Back in that day,
Speaker 1: you had to just drop drop nudes in the AOL
Speaker 1: chat and probably not even then, it would have been
Speaker 1: a few years later. So uh anyway, all right, Oh
Speaker 1: how times have changed. So there you go, one drinking
Speaker 1: study into an OnlyFans cautionary tale and that's how your
Speaker 1: morning starts. Six eighteen. Hang on, take take a trip
Speaker 1: to the Twin Cities. So ross was tom. I did
Speaker 1: see some of this? Is there is there quite a
Speaker 1: bit of it with the I've seen a bunch because
Speaker 1: people are saying, like, the way that the votes came
Speaker 1: in was super weird because it took like but so
Speaker 1: they're saying, like her district when they were saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, results coming in, it was like zero percent,
Speaker 1: zero percent, and within an hour is like ninety five
Speaker 1: point five percent, and you know, she had victory in
Speaker 1: her district, and they saying, yeah, compared to other districts,
Speaker 1: you weren't seeing the information coming that quickly. But I
Speaker 1: think the people don't understand her district. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: let me explain her district to you. If somebody lived
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, the fourth district which there at the time
Speaker 1: she was elected, and they've they've moved some of the
Speaker 1: district lines, but not really so the fourth district since
Speaker 1: in what you'd refer to as West Northwest or North Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: don't go there, don't go there along let's see Highway
Speaker 1: fifty five Plymouth Avenue. Plymouth Avenue is kind of the
Speaker 1: and Saint Paul's is what's the Tremember the avenue was Snelling.
Speaker 1: You want to stay off Snelling there very very high
Speaker 1: crime area. But as you get into suburbs up towards
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Park, it is where most of the Somali immigrants live.
Speaker 1: So and the you know, you drive through there and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Somali flags, Smali this, Smalling that,
Speaker 1: and so it is a big identity issue. So yes, am,
Speaker 1: I surprised that the Somali immigrant won an election when
Speaker 1: a district has the highest percentage of small immigrants. I
Speaker 1: think in the United States, by congressional district, it's sure
Speaker 1: as hell has to maybe they went up by Deerborn,
Speaker 1: but they're not all Somali up there. So yeah, and
Speaker 1: I don't mean that as an insult. I mean that
Speaker 1: is obvious, right you have because it's a very culturally,
Speaker 1: it's a very sheltered group. The mung Are much more
Speaker 1: integrated up in Minneapolis. Saint Paul and now the mung
Speaker 1: have been here longer, so the chances are their kids
Speaker 1: you would think that they're from you know, there's no
Speaker 1: accent or anything there, but in a lot of its
Speaker 1: third generation, whereas Somalia is more recent. But that being said, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at all it is. That's but also,
Speaker 1: stay off Plymouth. It's very, very dangerous. They used to
Speaker 1: be you'd stay off Plymouth and you'd go down through
Speaker 1: Loring Park to like Franklin Lake and Hennepin and Lyndale,
Speaker 1: so you could go to h Uptown. But they burned
Speaker 1: that down. So AnyWho does that explain it for you.
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna be like, oh, what a racist. Nope, Nope,
Speaker 1: pull the numbers. It's it's it's it's a different district
Speaker 1: than like Corey Bush was dealing with in in Missouri,
Speaker 1: where it might be a D plus. In fact, hold
Speaker 1: on what is her? I wonder if the D plus
Speaker 1: is in the district. I don't know if I've looked
Speaker 1: after the redistrict. It wasn't a huge redistricting, but it
Speaker 1: it did, and if anything, it probably made it more
Speaker 1: in favor of her Elino, her district D plus. Let's
Speaker 1: see what that is? Hell is the plus symbol? I
Speaker 1: never use it? All right, you know, look that bad
Speaker 1: way up because she's fifth district now, right, So her
Speaker 1: district change, her district number changed, but the area really didn't,
Speaker 1: all right, And of course I can't, Oh, here we
Speaker 1: go D now and I can't find it. Say this
Speaker 1: is a primary. But you got to understand it is.
Speaker 1: There is a lot of there's a lot of conflict,
Speaker 1: especially among it's because it's a socioeconomically challenged area, but
Speaker 1: also that part of Minneapolis used to be it was
Speaker 1: primarily low income minority neighborhoods. And uh but you know,
Speaker 1: but not immigrants. I mean, you did have immigrants, and
Speaker 1: they're the among mostly are in Saint Paul. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say mostly, but that's where they have the largest largest group,
Speaker 1: and they're kind of stacked, but they do spread them
Speaker 1: across two districts. These woke mines in Minnesota. Basically that
Speaker 1: was where they put a lot of the systems stuff too.
Speaker 1: And so Crystal and Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, these are
Speaker 1: all suburbs up there, and it kind of Richfield it
Speaker 1: drew in a lot of immigrants, and then it caused
Speaker 1: a lot of problems with you know, people have been
Speaker 1: here six generations who are low income and people quote
Speaker 1: unquote fresh off the boat from Somalia, and that's that's
Speaker 1: been a big issue there. So look, I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to live in that district, and I'm sure a lot
Speaker 1: of people that do also don't want to live in there,
Speaker 1: but don't have a choice. I mean, and it is,
Speaker 1: it is. I didn't realize it was far more entrenched
Speaker 1: when they flipped her, because they just changed her district
Speaker 1: number and then they packed they basically packed most of
Speaker 1: the Somalis into one district, which I don't know. I
Speaker 1: thought that's when you started lawsuits and stuff, but hey,
Speaker 1: what do I know anyway? All right, so D plus
Speaker 1: thirty did look it up? There you go, alrighty, let
Speaker 1: me flip over to this. Deputies are searching and maybe
Speaker 1: they found them. I looked, and I didn't see anything
Speaker 1: this morning, So let me check one more time just
Speaker 1: to make sure, so you're not, you know, walking around
Speaker 1: trying to find a murderer today. I don't see that
Speaker 1: they caught him. Usually they catch these dudes real quick
Speaker 1: or you know where they go in the woods for
Speaker 1: a while. Orange County Sheriff's Office is searching for Ramon Allston,
Speaker 1: a dangerous inmate to escape while being transferred to UNC
Speaker 1: Hospitals Hillsboro. Let's see black wearing a great T shirt? Wow?
Speaker 1: Wral put a description with somebody's race in there. Are
Speaker 1: you guys feeling? Okay? Orange County Sheriff's Office searching for
Speaker 1: Ramone Allston thirty described it as a black man wearing
Speaker 1: a great T shirt, khaki pants, and a new New
Speaker 1: Balance tennis. What was he wearing? He was also wearing
Speaker 1: handcuffs connected to a belly lead with that ross. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. If I told you to
Speaker 1: keep your eyes peeled for a dude in khaki pants
Speaker 1: and New Balance shoes today as you go about your business,
Speaker 1: or a dude wearing handcuffs with a belly chain, which
Speaker 1: one do you think might might be the better thing
Speaker 1: to try to sp I.
Speaker 3: Would probably say the handcuffs with the belly chain. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: all right, because otherwise it sounds like any other middle
Speaker 3: aged dude, right, yeah, Balances, I've.
Speaker 1: Mean Carrie, what happened? Yeah? Yeah, Wait didn't you got
Speaker 1: some new balances.
Speaker 3: I love new balance, That's what I'm saying. Yeah that
Speaker 3: they're like the middle aged dude shoe, right, and then
Speaker 3: as you get older, you move ont of the sketchers.
Speaker 1: Oh is that the time shoe? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't even know what the old shoe. It
Speaker 3: was like Nike, Rebo, Kadidas, whatever. When you're younger, and
Speaker 3: then it goes a new balance and then sketcher.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you want some really you want some
Speaker 1: really comfortable shoes. I only like three pairs of these
Speaker 1: things down. I'm like, I'm like a dude who like
Speaker 1: other than the function thing. Like I have boots. I had,
Speaker 1: you know, and then I got hunting boots, and I
Speaker 1: got cold weather boots, and I got Cowboy I yes,
Speaker 1: I own Cowboy boots. I know you're shocked, Jade Fraker,
Speaker 1: So have you lived in the West, you'd be like,
Speaker 1: that's impressive. Went to school with his granddaughter, and I
Speaker 1: was able to buy a pair of boots off him.
Speaker 1: He since pasted legendary saddle maker boot maker anyway, But
Speaker 1: when it comes like everyday standard shoes, dude, the best
Speaker 1: shoes I own are the ones I wear almost every day.
Speaker 1: Are the Coasta the Costa shoes that have the removable insult.
Speaker 1: They sell them at Tommy Bahamas. So if for a
Speaker 1: middle aged dude, I know you're shopping there, so I
Speaker 1: should check him out while you're in there. Anyway, Sorry,
Speaker 1: a little plug there, don't or I'm not making any money,
Speaker 1: but I do love these things, so I can maybe
Speaker 1: those are my new balance. I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I want to screw with laces or anything. So anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: although he's probably removed the handcuffs in the chain or
Speaker 1: you try to make it blend in which you know,
Speaker 1: this is what I've always said, and I'll say it again.
Speaker 1: If you're if you're a if you're listening to me,
Speaker 1: and I know that we have some folks who are
Speaker 1: currently incarcerated to listen. You guys send letters from time
Speaker 1: to time, which I always feel bad because like, what
Speaker 1: did you have to do for the stamp? I don't
Speaker 1: want to know, but you know, whatever, if it kills
Speaker 1: the time, that's fine. And then occasionally we've had people
Speaker 1: call from institutions, so we get the thing where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a call from the you know, the the
Speaker 1: such and such correctional facility. We're not accepting charges, but
Speaker 1: some call and they're accepting charges. And it still feel it's.
Speaker 4: A little weird.
Speaker 1: But if escape on Halloween, how do you not know this?
Speaker 1: This is my plan. If I ever, you know, get
Speaker 1: falsely convicted of a string of hobo murders in the
Speaker 1: North Northwest in the nineties, wait for Halloween, be like, ah,
Speaker 1: my appendix, oh, my appendix. And then when they take
Speaker 1: you over, you know, if you're gonna do your thing,
Speaker 1: do your thing, and then like that's gonna buy you
Speaker 1: a little bit of buffer, right, same if you want
Speaker 1: to murder somebody in your front yard, you want to
Speaker 1: have a dead body in your front I let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question. I know this is really morbid
Speaker 1: ross and I think it occurred to me one time,
Speaker 1: probably when I was drinking. I always thought, you know,
Speaker 1: there's got to be some cocky serial killer out there
Speaker 1: who's displayed a victim on Halloween for the lulls, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Right, Normally that's in the basement,
Speaker 1: that's going into the secret field out in you know,
Speaker 1: wherever you're burying your victims. But it's Halloween, so let's
Speaker 1: throw that thing out in the yard. Yeah no, that's
Speaker 1: got that's got to be like a true crime podcast somewhere.
Speaker 1: That has to be. That's had to happen. I mean,
Speaker 1: is that so I'm not crazy for thinking that. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. I just I just assumed it's happened before.
Speaker 1: And he Meanwhile, he's sitting there on his patio with
Speaker 1: a bowl of candy. Right, none of the neighbor kids
Speaker 1: are coming up because everybody's got to read on this dude.
Speaker 1: Oh he's very quiet. Right, they don't let their kids
Speaker 1: trigger treat there. Used to say they're the bowl of
Speaker 1: candy watching people go oh look at that. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: so realistic and just laugh in his serial killer butt off.
Speaker 1: That's what I do. And then escaping Halloween all day? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you? Whoa? Whoa, whoa? What's what's going on?
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a prisoner. Oh okay, all right, carry
Speaker 1: out here. You want some candy, dude, give you a
Speaker 1: ride somewhere. People need to consult me before they do
Speaker 1: this stuff. Oh wait, Boston Paul just uh, he says,
Speaker 1: sketchers absolutely the way to go ross. You're becoming Boston
Speaker 1: Paul no, I'm listen. I love the New Balances and
Speaker 1: eventually we will all become Boston Paul when it comes
Speaker 1: to our feet. It's how it works. So I'm saying
Speaker 1: this how I'm speaking the truth. No, no, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: a timeline from my observational stuff. Absolutely, man.
Speaker 3: And you know I actually noticed because I had someone
Speaker 3: to pointed out before to me on Twitch. That's they
Speaker 3: pointed that out because I was going off how I
Speaker 3: love the new Balances now and I don't care like
Speaker 3: before I'd be like, oh, I can't be a new Balances.
Speaker 3: Now I'm like, oh, they're amazing.
Speaker 1: I love them.
Speaker 3: But when my father in law was here this past week,
Speaker 3: they're visiting from Louisiana, and we were doing some yardwork
Speaker 3: and I looked down into his feet sketchers.
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, oh yeah, no way, yeah, maybe I've
Speaker 1: already jumped the gun because these shoes, the shoes, literally
Speaker 1: the shoes that I'm wearing right now, the ones I
Speaker 1: just told you about, they basically operate like Sketchers. They
Speaker 1: have a hard and back heel, so you you don't
Speaker 1: even have to lean down and put your finger to
Speaker 1: pull them on. So maybe I've already jumped the gun
Speaker 1: to as lazy as possible. They're very comfortable when they breathe.
Speaker 1: There was a time in the nineties right where they
Speaker 1: were popular, though. Sketchers were thing. Yeah, you had those,
Speaker 1: and you had the nineties you had those, la No,
Speaker 1: you had the Adidas shoes, you remember, yep, everyone where
Speaker 1: I had a pair of the black Adidas is and
Speaker 1: I wore those things out. Man, dude, you don't realize.
Speaker 1: Some of you do, obviously, but if you're younger, you
Speaker 1: don't realize that the amount of what's the cred is
Speaker 1: at the South Park where they're making fun of Prime,
Speaker 1: they're calling it cred. But you know, obviously you don't
Speaker 1: the amount of cred that you had strolling into my
Speaker 1: high school in the mid nineties with a pair of
Speaker 1: Adidas on and a No Fear or a big Johnson's shirt, right,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: No, And it goes the opposite way too, because back
Speaker 3: in the day, at least up in New York, like
Speaker 3: you had, you know, the Champion shirts are popular now,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was poverty back in the nineties. Like
Speaker 3: if you were to wear the Champion stuff, that was
Speaker 3: the stuff you'd find on like the the discount rack
Speaker 3: or the or not the good will store, but like
Speaker 3: the equivalent to that where it's like the discount store,
Speaker 3: like if you rolled in with a championship and now
Speaker 3: they're like popular, they're popular.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was the other thing that blew me away?
Speaker 1: What's the what's the clothing brand with the little alligator
Speaker 1: on it? Am I trying to I can't remember the
Speaker 1: name of it. It was really popular in the eighties
Speaker 1: and by the nineties it was kind of ghetto. And
Speaker 1: then like they have a that I saw for sale
Speaker 1: at Macy's for like one hundred and ten dollars for
Speaker 1: a shirt, So good on them with you know, pulling
Speaker 1: a John Travolta, I guess reinvigorating your career. But holy crap, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so everybody's got there. You look and if you asked
Speaker 1: anybody what the what the uh most popular outfit is
Speaker 1: or think about it from your high school, you probably
Speaker 1: roll your eyes a little depending on what era, what
Speaker 1: era you came through, But yeah, you know what she was.
Speaker 1: I liked was the British Knights. Did you have those?
Speaker 3: I didn't have the one other with the with the
Speaker 3: BK button When I was a kid, I had to
Speaker 3: have those shoes with a stupid BK button.
Speaker 1: Well, the rebock pumps. We've talked about this, because I
Speaker 1: didn't have the regular ones. I got the fake Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got the poverty ones. There's no air pumping. It's
Speaker 1: just got a little fake basketball looking things sticking.
Speaker 3: Out on the sideline. A gym class like pumping up
Speaker 3: your shoes, but it's not doing nothing.
Speaker 1: I'm totally pumping. Everybody knew what was up. No, no, no, no, no. So,
Speaker 1: uh did you did you travel at all for any
Speaker 1: Were you in any extracurriculars where you traveled. I was
Speaker 1: in cross country, so yeah, we would like to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know the rule on travel days you got
Speaker 1: a dress you had we had to wear. We had
Speaker 1: to wear a nice We had to wear a dress shirt,
Speaker 1: which is you did we didn't. Oh yeah, we had
Speaker 1: to wear for the football team and we had to
Speaker 1: wear a dress shirt when we traveled. So remember the
Speaker 1: silk dress shirts from the nineties. Did you ever have
Speaker 1: any of those? I still got a ton of them. Man,
Speaker 1: oh dude, oh man, I had some. I had some
Speaker 1: really nice silk shirts fashion those aren't in fashion now. No,
Speaker 1: you look nice. You look fine with your due balance
Speaker 1: and your soap fresh thing. He's also wearing umbro shorts,
Speaker 1: so ross'sued in. It's tucked in. Yeah, no, no, no, he's
Speaker 1: he's a business above and uh athlete you know Jim below,
Speaker 1: So he's kind of like an upside down mullet. Taking
Speaker 1: a step further, why don't body farms have haunted trails
Speaker 1: on Halloween. That's a good point, sir. The problem is
Speaker 1: is only the government can have body farms. If I
Speaker 1: try to have a body farm, what do you think
Speaker 1: is gonna happen Ross if I open If we open
Speaker 1: a body farm, all right, Casey and Ross is Halloween
Speaker 1: extravaganza body farm. How fast do you think we get
Speaker 1: shut down? About five minutes? Actually the police like you
Speaker 1: have a you got a police like us, and the
Speaker 1: fire people do because I think they brought Ross's shirts,
Speaker 1: so maybe ten minutes before they come out and be like,
Speaker 1: holy hell, what happened? Now I'm straight up on this
Speaker 1: real killer thing that happened. Somebody displayed their work on
Speaker 1: Halloween for lolls for laughs. Sorry, somebody emailed me last
Speaker 1: time I said lowells and asked me what it meant
Speaker 1: and if I'm gonna assume. I was gonna assume you
Speaker 1: didn't have the Internet, but you emailed me, so I
Speaker 1: assumed it was like an old timey Wyoming thing. You know,
Speaker 1: when I first got into radio in Minnesota, I had
Speaker 1: to break myself. There's some Wyoming phrases that I used
Speaker 1: to say regularly that would cause confusion. You know, that'd
Speaker 1: be a fun segment one time. I just made a
Speaker 1: list and asked you if you knew what they meant. Hey,
Speaker 1: some of them are pretty prettybus ubiquitous in other states.
Speaker 1: I all had no cattle. I'm sure you've heard that before.
Speaker 1: People say that in Wyoming a lot all had no cattle.
Speaker 1: And it's not a positive thing. It doesn't mean they
Speaker 1: like your hat. Basically, if you're if you come out
Speaker 1: and you're gonna go, you come out to Wyoming, You're like, well, honey,
Speaker 1: we're traveling to Wyoming. Let's go to the Western Store.
Speaker 1: I got great stores like Kings and Sheridan is a
Speaker 1: legendary Western store. Tourists would roll in there and buy
Speaker 1: you know, Tony Lama boots and some of the Pigo
Speaker 1: which like the Cowboys shirt. It was a brand of
Speaker 1: cowboy shirts. At the time that the rodeo guys would
Speaker 1: wear and and and then they get it and it's
Speaker 1: all brand new with folds still in it, and you
Speaker 1: look as ridiculous as Kamala cooking in the kitchen with
Speaker 1: the chick from the office. Okay, and then people go, oh,
Speaker 1: all hat, no cattle. So that's what that meant. So
Speaker 1: do you guys have any fun sayings up in Schenectady?
Speaker 1: Not along those lines? No? Oh well, anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: let's see here it is six forty nine. We'll take
Speaker 1: a break. Yeah, I literally I I've purged myself with
Speaker 1: a lot of them. There's a lot of way Minnesota
Speaker 1: sayings too that I wouldn't wouldn't use because people like,
Speaker 1: what the hell are you talking about? But that's the
Speaker 1: fun part, man, That's why I love learning this stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: six point fifty, hang on, I think might be fun. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so you ready barking squirrel.
Speaker 3: It's like somebody that's like small, but they've like they
Speaker 3: talk a big talk.
Speaker 1: No, it's it'd be a prede dog or a rock
Speaker 1: chuck them. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they bark. Man.
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty creepy. Buckle bunny. This was one of
Speaker 1: my favorite. Do you know what a buckle bunny is?
Speaker 1: I had no idea that are those are women who
Speaker 1: chase uh rodeo guys around, So we call them buckle bunnies, right, Oh,
Speaker 1: so they're like groupies. Yeah, they're great. It's just the
Speaker 1: cow They're just cowboy groupies. Man. So doubt Doubt's another
Speaker 1: one that we use. I've used. That's one I used
Speaker 1: on the air, and people thought it was saying doubt
Speaker 1: like d O U B T. But it's d O
Speaker 1: W T or d O U T and it literally
Speaker 1: is a phrase. It just means putting out a fire.
Speaker 1: That's when I had I've never heard that before, so
Speaker 1: and I was be like, ah, the fire, but the
Speaker 1: engine showed up in doubt it. Yeah, I honestly I
Speaker 1: didn't know I was saying it wrong until I got
Speaker 1: I moved away. People in California didn't know what the hell
Speaker 1: it was either around the beach got a fire going, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta we should doubt that before we leave? What
Speaker 1: don't doubt it? Be positive? A lot of hippies down there, greenies.
Speaker 1: You've heard me use that on the radio. That's what
Speaker 1: we call Colorado because he's got the green license plate.
Speaker 1: Let's see Nanny Slammers. Those were those were there's more
Speaker 1: rodeo stuff. Yeah, that's like Kamala Harris's husband. It's the
Speaker 1: goat ropers. Oh, I was close a female rodeo event. Hypnolope.
Speaker 1: You know what a hypno lope is? That is that's
Speaker 1: like a hippie who is like if it's a fat hippie. No,
Speaker 1: it's you know, the antelope. You've seen the antelope. You
Speaker 1: look at Utah, you're familiar with them. Obviously, we call
Speaker 1: him hypnal lopes up in California. Went over at Disney
Speaker 1: that to tell Disney's lawyers and people work for Disney, Hey,
Speaker 1: for like five seconds, could you all not be Rocky
Speaker 1: Mountain Canaries. I didn't get to that phrase, Rocket Ross.
Speaker 1: What do you think Rocky Mountain Canary? Oh? Wait, Ross
Speaker 1: is fixing something cause their computer sucks. Rocky mount Canary
Speaker 1: is is a donkey or a jackass? The wyoming thing whatever.
Speaker 1: I never understood that one either, but that was my
Speaker 1: polite way of going Disney. What are you doing? Man?
Speaker 1: Don't you have enough bad pr chugging along? So a lawsuit?
Speaker 1: This is this is a wrongful death lawsuit. Now, to
Speaker 1: be fair, we do have a running bit on this
Speaker 1: show where anytime there's a death near Disney World that's
Speaker 1: really unusual, like they had a worker on one of
Speaker 1: the rides die in a smelting accident, we just assume
Speaker 1: that's cover up for they got eaten by an alligator.
Speaker 1: And they've been doing that ever since that boy got
Speaker 1: eaten by an alligator. But that's just us being fun,
Speaker 1: because that's what we are, is fun. Right, This is
Speaker 1: serious stuff. Disney trying to get a wrongful death lawsuit
Speaker 1: that has been filed by New York University doctor's grieving husband.
Speaker 1: So this guy and his wife, they go down to Disney,
Speaker 1: they eat at I don't understand that. I didn't understand
Speaker 1: the true scope of this until I had it explained
Speaker 1: to me by somebody who owns a house across the
Speaker 1: lake from Disney in front of radio friend of mine
Speaker 1: that even when you think you're not in Disney and
Speaker 1: doing business with Disney, once you get off that exit,
Speaker 1: you're doing business with Disney like like they own. And
Speaker 1: and by the way, that's because Disney. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this, see I do. I do happen
Speaker 1: to research some Disney stuff, even if I'm not a
Speaker 1: Disney goer. The way that Walt Disney was able to
Speaker 1: get disney Land to get a foothold in was not
Speaker 1: just that he created something that you know, people I've
Speaker 1: foreseen before. It was pretty amazing. But you have to
Speaker 1: remember that the land that he bought where Disney sits
Speaker 1: in Anaheim at the time was was orange groves and
Speaker 1: avocado trees, and there was nothing near there. It would
Speaker 1: be akin to going down to and putting Disney in.
Speaker 1: I don't want to pick on any town, but basically
Speaker 1: out in the middle of nowhere. And you had to
Speaker 1: get people then to commute at a time when they
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't like now where you'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll drive three hours to go to an amusement. I'll
Speaker 1: go to two and a half hours or whatever to
Speaker 1: go down to Charlotte. People that wasn't their thing, man,
Speaker 1: So you had to get him to come there from
Speaker 1: Los Angeles proper. And so he put all his money
Speaker 1: into the park, but you had to have the other stuff.
Speaker 1: You had to have hotels for people to stay because
Speaker 1: it was such a long distance and people were coming
Speaker 1: from other parts of California and the country. You had
Speaker 1: to have restaurants, you had to have all this stuff.
Speaker 1: So he had to go like beg people in the
Speaker 1: hospitality industry to do business in. Almost every single place
Speaker 1: turned him down. All the big hotel companies at the time,
Speaker 1: big restaurants or restaurant restaurant tours. And there was a
Speaker 1: dude from Texas who saw the opportunity and he he
Speaker 1: made He said he would do it, but Disney had
Speaker 1: to guarantee him exclusivity and it was a license to
Speaker 1: print money. So when Disney World rolled around, they decided,
Speaker 1: never again will they miss out on that revenue. We're
Speaker 1: going to everything that you see is going to be
Speaker 1: Disney owned. So even hotels that are out of there,
Speaker 1: you know, whole housing developments, obviously, restaurants. You think you're
Speaker 1: not on Disney property, but you're doing business with Disney,
Speaker 1: which is fine, whatever, That's not my beef. This is
Speaker 1: my beef. Are you ready? So this this doctor and
Speaker 1: his wife go down to Disney. It is was this
Speaker 1: guy's name, Jeffrey Piccolo. Is the is the New York
Speaker 1: University doctor his wife. Oh, it's unfortunate. This is her name,
Speaker 1: Canoe Porn to Gosson, I'm not miss I'm not mispronouncing
Speaker 1: that that's there's a k in there, though maybe I am. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So they go down to Disney. She suffered a fatal
Speaker 1: allergic reaction at a one of the restaurants near Disney Springs,
Speaker 1: which I don't know what that is, but I guess
Speaker 1: it's part of Disney. So and uh, you know it
Speaker 1: was after being assured, after being absolutely assured that this
Speaker 1: was not in there. Very sad story. Disney, though, has
Speaker 1: filed in response to the to the wrongful death lawsuit,
Speaker 1: the following defense and this is going to make your
Speaker 1: blood boil. They have argued that the lawsuit should be
Speaker 1: thrown out because the doctor and his wife agreed to
Speaker 1: go to arbitration with Disney. How did they do that,
Speaker 1: according to Disney's lawyers, because he had a he took
Speaker 1: a thirty day free trial on a PlayStation for Disney Plus.
Speaker 1: It sounds like one of their kids did, right, So
Speaker 1: when signing up for the Disney Plus app for a
Speaker 1: thirty day free trial. In the terms of service, it says,
Speaker 1: quote let's see here, saying the Disney Plus subscriber agreement
Speaker 1: that Piccolo signed or was signed in his household on
Speaker 1: his behalf via PlayStation. Is that for any dispute that
Speaker 1: Piccolo has with Disney, with the exception of small claims,
Speaker 1: all will be resolved by individual binding arbitration. Disney pulled
Speaker 1: the arbitration card. Not for the not for even on
Speaker 1: the tickets, because a lot of time you ever go
Speaker 1: to a sporting event to flip over your ticket, there
Speaker 1: may be an arbitration agreement on there, but for something
Speaker 1: that was not remotely related to what he did. Right,
Speaker 1: Disney Plus, I had a free trial at Disney Plus
Speaker 1: when it first came out. I paid for it for
Speaker 1: a little while. I don't need Moore, but I had
Speaker 1: that ross. Did you know you have Disney Plus? Right?
Speaker 1: Did you know that if you go to Disneyland and
Speaker 1: you get eaten by an alligator, mark, he's got to
Speaker 1: go to arbitration? We did.
Speaker 3: We read the terms and conditions. It's clearly right there.
Speaker 3: It's right there. Yeah, how you know?
Speaker 1: I know some lawyers who I respect and like very much,
Speaker 1: but these are the cats that This is why there's
Speaker 1: the jokes. This is the south Park episode? Right? Yes
Speaker 1: it is? Yes?
Speaker 3: Is it Kyle doesn't read that. I think it's Kyle
Speaker 3: doesn't read the terms and conditions and then they come
Speaker 3: from Apple and they turn them into a human centipede
Speaker 3: and they're like, it was right there, dude. The rest
Speaker 3: of his friends are like, wait, you didn't read the
Speaker 3: terms and conditions.
Speaker 1: At least Kyle got to pick which end of the
Speaker 1: centipede he wanted, and it was with the dude from
Speaker 1: the Walk. I can't say the name of it, but
Speaker 1: the Chinese restaurant, right, and he's the lead part of
Speaker 1: the centipede and he's but he keeps eating all these
Speaker 1: horrendous Chinese dishes right right? You wanna eat the vanilla paste? Yeah,
Speaker 1: He's like, do you want to vanilla ice cream cone?
Speaker 1: Or pangalin? And you can hear the restaurant going, it's
Speaker 1: a great episode. In fact, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: I think that's the episode in that South Park documentary,
Speaker 1: was it five Days to Er or whatever. I think
Speaker 1: that's the episode they're working on in there. So Disney's arguing,
Speaker 1: this is I'm telling you, man, this is don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, corporations. This is why you hire a team
Speaker 1: of lawyers. They got to come up with something. The
Speaker 1: fact is that it looks like it looks like if
Speaker 1: the story is as Piccolo says, a lot of extreme
Speaker 1: negligence here. But to take the fact that he was
Speaker 1: a Disney how does that make you feel? As a
Speaker 1: Disney Plus subscriber the two or not? And thankfully, because
Speaker 1: they filed this in Florida, where there's at least a
Speaker 1: tidbit of common sense, the judge was not pleased. An
Speaker 1: emotion filed in Orange County, Florida Circuit Court. Disney argued
Speaker 1: that Disney Plus subscriber agreement binds him, or at least
Speaker 1: obligates him to use individual binding arbitration. They also added
Speaker 1: the Piccolo, excuse me, agreed to similar language when he
Speaker 1: downloaded the My Disney Experience app. So they're sticking this
Speaker 1: stuff in the app right there, And of course that's
Speaker 1: not at all what is intended. It's about the individual thing,
Speaker 1: right so by Disney, I guess maybe you can buy
Speaker 1: tickets on there. So I guess maybe that if you
Speaker 1: bought tickets and you thought there was shenanigans you want
Speaker 1: to resolve it, that that would be the resolution with
Speaker 1: the app, not your wife dying at a restaurant because
Speaker 1: they told her there was no shellfish in there or whatever.
Speaker 1: It doesn't say what the allergy was, does it? Here
Speaker 1: we go, all right, So the forty two year old,
Speaker 1: his wife was forty two, died of a severe allergic
Speaker 1: reaction anaphylaxis, just hours after dining at the Raglan Road
Speaker 1: Irish Pub and restaurant. The physician, who had worked at
Speaker 1: Manhattan's Nyu Lagoon Hospital, repeatedly stressed to wait staff that
Speaker 1: she has nutt and dalla and dairy allergies, and she
Speaker 1: ordered scallops, onion rings, broccoli and corn fritters. And at
Speaker 1: each point he and he, I'm sure he pulled that.
Speaker 1: I'm a doctor and I'm telling you it's really really bad,
Speaker 1: which is fine, he should, right if it's really because
Speaker 1: some people have allergies, and some people have allergies, right.
Speaker 1: And they did administer an EpiPen to her. That's the
Speaker 1: people were like, why didn't you have an EpiPen? They did,
Speaker 1: They did have an EpiPen, and she had just there
Speaker 1: was so whatever was in there was so much. I
Speaker 1: guess that it didn't matter, which is pretty crazy because
Speaker 1: those you see those EpiPens on TV where they put
Speaker 1: in a person like thirty seconds later they're talking sports. Again,
Speaker 1: that's not how that goes, and especially in this situation.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't say in a lawsuit what exactly they
Speaker 1: think was in there. But they did test her, and
Speaker 1: obviously they showed that she had consumed nuts in a
Speaker 1: significant manner. Maybe the broccoli, but you could do broccoli
Speaker 1: with almonds, but you can see the almonds, especially if
Speaker 1: you have if you have a nut allergy. I gotta
Speaker 1: think you're Johnny on the Spot with that stuff. But
Speaker 1: either way, maybe walnut oil. I don't know if that works.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so what a bount you scumbags.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, this is why we this is why we advocated
Speaker 1: for having drug lords dropped into the park. Aditially. I
Speaker 1: wanted him tethered to stuff so that we could come
Speaker 1: along and arrest them, but not just put them in there.
Speaker 1: Mag a Disney problem. So we'll see, we'll see where
Speaker 1: that goes. The judge was not impressed. I'm sure they'll
Speaker 1: come up with something else, all right. Eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight seven four h Dennis Kuai,
Speaker 1: you I do this Dennis Quaid story, Dude, When you
Speaker 1: got big Hollywood people coming out and going, hey, you're
Speaker 1: throttling stuff. I know that maybe just go hey, maybe
Speaker 1: the system's broken. I know that most of social media
Speaker 1: they don't think the system's broken because it's accomplishing what
Speaker 1: they want. But they're marketing. They're trying to market a movie,
Speaker 1: and they're literally buying advertising too. This is why this
Speaker 1: story is so much worse than you know, you made
Speaker 1: a post about how you feel about this politician, or
Speaker 1: you posted the Donald Trump photo right, the iconic photo
Speaker 1: of fist in the air, flag over, and then Facebook
Speaker 1: throttled it, which they admitted to doing, by the way,
Speaker 1: is on accident. But this is something totally differ. So
Speaker 1: we'll get into what Dennis Quad's beef is about. And
Speaker 1: already Boto places use peanut oil as frying oil. Yeah no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I know that that's probably with the onion rings that
Speaker 1: might be in the fritters, both fried foods. But you know,
Speaker 1: but it's also one of the really easy things some
Speaker 1: of reading an email here one of the really easy
Speaker 1: things for restaurants where I've seen restaurants where they accommodate,
Speaker 1: they use you know, something else. So because I like
Speaker 1: peanut oil, let me wrong if you're going to deep
Speaker 1: fry turkey and you don't have a nut allergy, you
Speaker 1: should be using peanut oil. Just my two cents, but
Speaker 1: obviously not a good thing if you are very, very
Speaker 1: allergic to them. All right, So we'll get into the
Speaker 1: into the Dennis Quaid thing, because that should be far
Speaker 1: more disastrous for them than anything else. And San Francisco
Speaker 1: has done something crazy. No, Now know what you're thinking, like, well,
Speaker 1: does that word even have meaning in Sani? You know
Speaker 1: what I think it does, and I'll explain next why
Speaker 1: it does. Hang on. San Francisco has filed felonies against moonbats.
Speaker 1: I want to repeat this, San Francisco has filed actual
Speaker 1: felony charges against some of their fellow moonbats, right, because
Speaker 1: you know you got San Francisco. Does anybody get charged
Speaker 1: for anything?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Not that guy pooping right there? How about the guy
Speaker 1: were there doing the same No? No, okay. How about
Speaker 1: these people looting all the stores till they shut down?
Speaker 1: Do they get charged?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: It was under a night It was nine hundred ninety
Speaker 1: eight dollars. Wow, what a queen kadik Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: but the the bridge too far pun intended? Is the
Speaker 1: shutting down of the San Francisco Bridge that was done
Speaker 1: by twenty six of these pro Hamas protesters. They have
Speaker 1: been hit with felony charges of false in prison after
Speaker 1: they shut down the Golden Gate Bridge. This was back
Speaker 1: in April, so they were some of the early early adopters.
Speaker 1: Eight are accused of felony, conspiracy, trespassing, obstructing a thoroughfare,
Speaker 1: refusal to disperseed. You know, this reminds me of Ross.
Speaker 1: You remember that story we did about a month ago
Speaker 1: in the UK where they're going to throw the art
Speaker 1: vandals and the roadblockers. Like they started. There was a
Speaker 1: judge who had it out, started harding out sentences and
Speaker 1: like the really really that CEO mom, her daughter's in
Speaker 1: there and her daughter's got like five years in prison
Speaker 1: for shutting down. They had a whole list of all
Speaker 1: of the causes, right, Like there was a woman who
Speaker 1: ended up giving birth in a dangerous situation because she
Speaker 1: couldn't get through there. Like they made a very clear
Speaker 1: cut case for it, but they absolutely couldn't deal. So
Speaker 1: now they're saying that after the DA there charged twenty
Speaker 1: six of these idiots with false in prism at eight feloniously,
Speaker 1: including trespassing, obstructing a thoroughfare, refusal, and a riot. They
Speaker 1: declared it a riot. They're you know, feasibly they should
Speaker 1: be doing some jail time. But yeah, blocking the bridge
Speaker 1: to talk about how much you hate the Jews, that's
Speaker 1: that's a as I said, a bridge too far in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. I don't know these will go anywhere. And
Speaker 1: by the way, with some of the elon Trump stuff,
Speaker 1: it's labor unions who are being intentionally dishonest, which again
Speaker 1: shows you that intellectual honesty within politics is dead. There's
Speaker 1: not even that. There's no expectation where you would feel
Speaker 1: bad about. You know, I shouldn't word it that way.
Speaker 1: People might misinterpret what I'm trying. That doesn't exist because
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The ends justify the means, because you
Speaker 1: created a candidate in your own mind that is literally
Speaker 1: satan and not just stupid or ineffective or any of
Speaker 1: those things, but it will literally be the end to
Speaker 1: your life as you know it, and you've convinced people
Speaker 1: of that. So that's a really easy way to shake
Speaker 1: off moral objections to doing stuff. Okay, so that's on you.
Speaker 1: So then you couple it with insane lawsuits. Algerian boxer
Speaker 1: a Maine Khaliph. So this is the gold medal winner,
Speaker 1: and I think the sixty kilogram, yeah, they use kilogram
Speaker 1: whatever women's boxing there at the Olympics. Obviously, this is
Speaker 1: the x Y chromozoone, the super high testosterone. And again,
Speaker 1: as we've said on this show, as I understand the situation,
Speaker 1: this is not somebody who decided that they would transition,
Speaker 1: but rather somebody who's dealing with a really unique, very
Speaker 1: rare condition, but one that bestows upon them testosterone levels
Speaker 1: and strength and speed that you would associate with the
Speaker 1: man couple with the x Y chromosome. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's just like sometimes
Speaker 1: life isn't fair. Let me ask you a question. If
Speaker 1: it's somebody who was born female but has very high testosterone,
Speaker 1: I don't think most people in non contact sports are
Speaker 1: going to go the full this is a transgender person route.
Speaker 1: I think it's the part because they watched you on
Speaker 1: video breaking other women's faces. You know, in a way
Speaker 1: that other than a couple MMA matches some that I
Speaker 1: can think of some really good ones. Actually, you just
Speaker 1: don't see in the world of boxing because the glove,
Speaker 1: you know, the glove size. You have the gloves obviously,
Speaker 1: but the size of what you're using is significantly more.
Speaker 1: We look like MMA fights. She was busting these folks up.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but now she's suing Elon Musk
Speaker 1: and JK. Rowling for cyberbullying and her lawyers are looking
Speaker 1: into Donald Trump. So and Algery. Of course, Algerie, if
Speaker 1: you want to start something, that's fine. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I'd be in North Africa running my mouth. The last
Speaker 1: time somebody did that, they died with a stick in
Speaker 1: their But so looking at you, Kadafi and you know,
Speaker 1: it was funny. Have you said, Ross, have you seen
Speaker 1: this where people are lionizing Goddaffi? Now I've seen some
Speaker 1: of these posts where they're just like they don't have taxes, nobody, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, free electricity for everybody. It's a paradise. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know the dude bomb passenger plants, right,
Speaker 1: are you familiar? Are you familiar with this? Like you've
Speaker 1: heard of locker Bee? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was
Speaker 1: one of those things where they are they're trying to
Speaker 1: lionize him and it's like I think their main point
Speaker 1: is you know, or maybe it's not, but he didn't
Speaker 1: he sort of he was an awful dude, but he
Speaker 1: stabilized the region. So it's like, which side do you want? Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they took him out. That's it argument you can make.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, I'm seeing people going a step
Speaker 1: further where they're like, why wouldn't you want to live here?
Speaker 1: Electricity is free? And it's like maybe like five seconds
Speaker 1: after you open your power bill, I would understand what
Speaker 1: that thought aldcross your mind, but after that you got
Speaker 1: to think about it. But also like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I should have reposted this, but it just show blew
Speaker 1: me away over the weekend because they were like this
Speaker 1: is they had all these fun facts, right, they didn't
Speaker 1: have this. He couldn't There was one fun fact where
Speaker 1: it was like they didn't have this, and then it
Speaker 1: was because, yeah, because you don't allow those people to
Speaker 1: live there. So anyway, where are you saying, no, I
Speaker 1: saw that meme going back a while ago. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: so dumb man. So just you know, keep note Algeria
Speaker 1: and that's not the only lawsuit. Now, we have lawsuits
Speaker 1: that were filed over the Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we have ross. Can you put that piece
Speaker 1: of audio back up where he's like, you like to
Speaker 1: fire people. Did we have that yesterday? I can't remember
Speaker 1: so many of these. I think we did, all right.
Speaker 1: So because they're they're clearly conflating two things, you're and
Speaker 1: they're doing it because again, it's another arm of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, in this case the labor unions that are
Speaker 1: willing to go out there and do stuff. It's the
Speaker 1: same thing like with with Reverend soul Glow, the buffets Layer,
Speaker 1: for all those years in North Carolina, there was a
Speaker 1: period where for all practical purposes he was the official
Speaker 1: spokesman of the Democratic Party of North Carolina. Didn't even
Speaker 1: they I couldn't even tell you who it was at
Speaker 1: the time, that's how bad it was. And I have
Speaker 1: a rolodex full of these people. And so you sit
Speaker 1: there and you watch that and you realize it's all
Speaker 1: hands on deck, like, uh, was it tracking the blue
Speaker 1: or tracking the left? What was the civitas thing? I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, if you've never seen this, where you start
Speaker 1: seeing the the actual the absolute tentacles of things like
Speaker 1: the z Smith Reynolds Found Nation and many of the
Speaker 1: others here, these large charitable but also very activist groups,
Speaker 1: and how all the money flows. It's very like the
Speaker 1: dude who's running against Michelle Morrow Mo Green, not that
Speaker 1: Mo Green, that Mo Green Dayge should have made the deal,
Speaker 1: should have made the deal. I mean, how do you
Speaker 1: not make the deal? And after what happened to that
Speaker 1: Hollywood producer, which I'm sure Mo Green had to be
Speaker 1: aware of, right Ross, wouldn't you say that Mo Green
Speaker 1: king of Vegas obviously deal with all the Hollywood folks
Speaker 1: that are coming to Vegas, would be aware of what
Speaker 1: they did to that Hollywood producer and his horse, like
Speaker 1: that story travel Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: you think it for that cut. Don't worry about don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. Don't worry about if you can't find it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So anyway, but going back to like, so the guy
Speaker 1: who's running for education secretary of Education secretary here in
Speaker 1: North Carolina, that's where that's he cut his teeth over
Speaker 1: at z Smith Reynolds. These are all actloose now he's
Speaker 1: running as a Democrat, but you need to understand all
Speaker 1: of the stuff behind the scenes, all the stuff that
Speaker 1: they literally accuse of Republicans, and Republicans try to do,
Speaker 1: but I would argue they're not as good at it.
Speaker 1: Is exactly what we're talking about here. So, like when
Speaker 1: you get into these organizations, whether it be the labor
Speaker 1: unions or any of the others, they're willing to step up.
Speaker 1: That's why the teachers' unions will get in there and
Speaker 1: they'll be like, oh yeah, let's yeah, let's essentially hold
Speaker 1: a fundraiser and let's use a bunch of the donations
Speaker 1: or the donations the dues from our members, even members
Speaker 1: who were forced to be in our union, which is
Speaker 1: a thing, and it was a thing that to this day,
Speaker 1: I cannot understand how the Supreme Court allowed to continue
Speaker 1: to be a thing. You would force people to be
Speaker 1: in the union, forced people I knew people in Minnesota
Speaker 1: who were teachers. They didn't have a choice. You're in
Speaker 1: the union. So they go out and they sue, man,
Speaker 1: they sue. So here's what Trump and must said that
Speaker 1: has prompted this lawsuit.
Speaker 5: I mean, if so, I mean, I mean, I think
Speaker 5: it would be great to just have a government efficiency
Speaker 5: commission that takes a look at these things and and
Speaker 5: just ensures that the taxpayer money that the taxpayers are
Speaker 5: harder money is spent in a good way. And I'd
Speaker 5: be happy to help out on such a commission.
Speaker 2: I'd love Well, you you're the greatest cutter. I mean,
Speaker 2: I look at what you do. You walk in, you
Speaker 2: you want to quit.
Speaker 1: They go and strike.
Speaker 2: I won't mention the name of the company, but they
Speaker 2: go on strike, and you say, that's.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're all gone.
Speaker 2: You're all gone. So every one of you is gone,
Speaker 2: and you are the greatest. You would be very good. Oh,
Speaker 2: you would love it. But you know, if you look
Speaker 2: at Argentry, by the way, congratulations. I just looked at
Speaker 2: the number of people that are listening to you and
Speaker 2: I chat will quote a chat, but congratulations.
Speaker 1: This is very good. I mean it's great. Okay. So,
Speaker 1: and he called them the great cutter all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So that irritated the labor unions and they're like ah,
Speaker 1: And specifically the part where he said you know where
Speaker 1: Trump said, you know the great cutter he's referred to
Speaker 1: when Musk bought Twitter, right, And there were several incidents,
Speaker 1: but they were not labor union contract incidents, Okay, they
Speaker 1: were large groups of workers who either didn't want to
Speaker 1: do what Trump wanted were clearly bloated. When he came
Speaker 1: into the company, he made the requisite announcement following the purchase,
Speaker 1: because you have to tell the labor relations or the
Speaker 1: labor the government if you're going to if you're going
Speaker 1: to fire. And I don't know what the threshold is,
Speaker 1: if it's a number of percentage or whichever is lower,
Speaker 1: I think of the two, you have to announce it.
Speaker 1: That's why you see these stories where they say Microsoft's
Speaker 1: going to be laying off five thousand workers. Do you
Speaker 1: think Microsoft put that out because they're proud of it. No,
Speaker 1: they put it out because they're legally obligated to. So
Speaker 1: he followed those rules. But when they came to the
Speaker 1: other stuff, what you were talking about is you were
Speaker 1: talking about groups that were holding protests and conference rooms.
Speaker 1: Remember the Google was a Google or YouTube. They just
Speaker 1: fired a bunch of people for this. Think it was
Speaker 1: Google Google where people just decide they're going to do
Speaker 1: whatever they're going to do. There was no formal labor contract, right,
Speaker 1: Sally Field's not over here banging the drum for stuff,
Speaker 1: and so it's a pointless thing. So what does the
Speaker 1: United Auto Workers do. They announced they had filed federal
Speaker 1: labor charges against Trump and must for allegedly making illegal
Speaker 1: attempts to threaten and intimidate workers engaging in protected activity. No,
Speaker 1: they weren't. They fired a bunch of people either didn't
Speaker 1: want to move, didn't want to do what they were doing,
Speaker 1: were openly hostile to Elon Ross. You remember the photos
Speaker 1: of Like the Bat where you'd see people in the
Speaker 1: background that were death glaring Elon when he was touring Twitter,
Speaker 1: including like Upper Management. He fired all those people, And
Speaker 1: why would you want him around there if if they're
Speaker 1: not going to get with the program. And look, Elon's
Speaker 1: program may be different, maybe weird, but it's his program.
Speaker 1: I told you the server story earlier this week. Fired
Speaker 1: a bunch of people then, so it's just it's just again,
Speaker 1: it's law fair. It's meant to drain money. Not that
Speaker 1: they're going to get enough to make a dent in
Speaker 1: either of these two, but just make things difficult so
Speaker 1: they don't do it. It's an inkind political donation that
Speaker 1: will go unregistered. All right, race stage and here to
Speaker 1: make a donation to your Weather Fund, the Great Weather Fund.
Speaker 1: All short of funds and charitable stuff. I got a
Speaker 1: crazy charity story for you coming up in a few minutes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I got for you, though. You have to do the weather.
Speaker 4: You have to do that, oh sorry, well yeah, and
Speaker 4: maybe contribute to my fund for the delivery of what's
Speaker 4: a beautiful morning? Up down?
Speaker 1: Get things right once and you're just.
Speaker 4: Blind squirrels and corns. Man, Come on, I mean, this
Speaker 4: is a nice tree for the middle of August, a
Speaker 4: low sixties, triad, mid sixties, trying a little fog. There
Speaker 4: was an advisory for some of the It looks like
Speaker 4: the Weather Service slept on us for the fog. But
Speaker 4: most of that looks like visibilities are coming up to
Speaker 4: I'm seeing six miles eight miles, so if you can't
Speaker 4: see that far, yeah, you've got bigger problems in the mountains.
Speaker 4: Is actually in the upper fifties, so beautiful start to
Speaker 4: the day, nice finish, maybe a passing shower, thunder shower,
Speaker 4: not much rain and mid eighties today. Then we'll go
Speaker 4: to the mid upper eighties as we go through Thursday,
Speaker 4: Friday to beautiful days. Lows will still be in the
Speaker 4: low to mid sixties. I think we'll start to feel
Speaker 4: some changes for the weekend, maybe little early will increased
Speaker 4: humidity and maybe some rain chances starting to come back
Speaker 4: widespread most likely not just some afternoon stuff for Saturday
Speaker 4: and Sunday. Arnesto's put power out on Puerto Rico. Now
Speaker 4: we're over three hundred thousand customers. I believe as the
Speaker 4: center passes now heads toward Bermuda and strengthen, it's probably
Speaker 4: becomes a hurricane that stays well off east coast. If
Speaker 4: you are heading to the beaches next week or later
Speaker 4: this week into the weekend, may start kicking up some
Speaker 4: of the surf and the rip currents, but shouldn't be terrible.
Speaker 4: But certainly that would be if there already impacts from Ronesto.
Speaker 4: That would be where they are. So another storm, but
Speaker 4: this time this one's amiss.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I do appreciate it, sir. We'll talk
Speaker 1: in an hour. Thank you. All right, there you are
Speaker 1: race staging by the way, I was trying to grab
Speaker 1: Elon's tweet here. Oh Ross, did you see that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump didn't tweet anything yesterday? Or I shouldn'tay he didn't
Speaker 1: tweet anything. He didn't tweet like he normally does. There
Speaker 1: was some stuff that clearly looks like videos posted and stuff.
Speaker 1: Is he not going to embrace the Twitter thing again?
Speaker 1: I don't know, because right now it looks like it's
Speaker 1: it's like you said, what they're putting out a super
Speaker 1: focused and right yeah and on message. He why would
Speaker 1: you abandon the thing that works so well for you?
Speaker 1: Or I guess arguably not well, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: the people around him. You can't control him to the
Speaker 1: Union folks, though, Elon Musk tweeted, the last two ua
Speaker 1: W presidents went to prison for bribery and corruption and
Speaker 1: based on recent news, it looks like this guy will
Speaker 1: join him. Now I will fact check our community. Note Elon,
Speaker 1: technically there was one dude between the two who were
Speaker 1: went to jail for corruption. They had like one dude
Speaker 1: in there for a short period of time who somehow
Speaker 1: managed not to get arrested for corruption. And then Sean Fain,
Speaker 1: who's the guy who runs it so whose name sounds
Speaker 1: like Shin Faine. But that doesn't stop Elon. So there
Speaker 1: you go, all right, seven forty nine, hang on, ross,
Speaker 1: have you guys with your was it Hayes Global Initiative
Speaker 1: and the Lambeau for It's not Lambeau for the kids anymore? Right,
Speaker 1: you switched to something else?
Speaker 3: Yeah know, we divested to the flamethrower robodog for the
Speaker 3: children for the children.
Speaker 1: Yes, you guys haven't been rocked by any major scandals yet,
Speaker 1: have you. There's no reason to be. We are legit
Speaker 1: for real charity. Okay, Children for the children? Right. Well,
Speaker 1: let's say the children came over and you wanted to
Speaker 1: give them candy, right, Kids like candy, right, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you had a little candy for him. Would that be okay?
Speaker 1: For the care We would not be giving anything to
Speaker 1: the children except the flaming robodog. What if you put
Speaker 1: the candy bowl on the flaming robodog and then it
Speaker 1: was like a challenge to get the candy.
Speaker 3: We talked to our lawyers and there's too much there.
Speaker 3: They could choke on the candy, they could be allergic
Speaker 3: to the candy, So they're no candy for the children.
Speaker 3: What if it's meth candy, that would probably be problematic. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 1: The is New Zealand New Zealand charity is apologizing after
Speaker 1: distributing dozens of pineapple flavored candy cut with meth and
Speaker 1: not a little bit. Wait to year how much was
Speaker 1: in here. The Auckland City Mission, which looks like a
Speaker 1: good charity. They donate parcels of essentials to New Zealanders
Speaker 1: can't afford foods like you know, like you know, food
Speaker 1: for people, or food insecure or having a tough time.
Speaker 1: It's a charity again, you know, these charities seem to
Speaker 1: be far more efficient at it than government, so good
Speaker 1: on them. Unfortunately, it looks like they didn't check a donation,
Speaker 1: which I don't know about this because again I once'
Speaker 1: you hear how much meth was in these candies. It's
Speaker 1: a miracle that didn't kill anybody. They say that somebody
Speaker 1: had donated the candies which were sealed, and they look
Speaker 1: like the bag looks like you know when you go
Speaker 1: to a gas station they have like one hundred different
Speaker 1: bags of little candies there and they're always like they
Speaker 1: used to be. Remember when they were two for fifty cents.
Speaker 1: Now they're two for like nine dollars or whatever you seem.
Speaker 1: The truck stops looked like one of those little pineapple candies. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: the candies sent several people to the hospital. Thankfully, nobody
Speaker 1: is still in the hospital. They estimate after testing that
Speaker 1: each bag contained three grams of meth. I'm going to
Speaker 1: repeat that, and for those of you wanting to do
Speaker 1: the math, I want you to picture in your head
Speaker 1: the cocaine bag they found in the White House or
Speaker 1: you got that picture the little tiny zip block, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, if you're a zip block, you know
Speaker 1: what people are buying those four for crafting supplies. Sure. Anyway,
Speaker 1: whatever that was what a half gram they said was
Speaker 1: in there. I think this at a half gram, so
Speaker 1: six times the amount of powder that was in that bag,
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine, as you as you probably know,
Speaker 1: And by the way, welcome hour number three. Glad to
Speaker 1: have you along. As you probably know, San Francisco is
Speaker 1: kind of like the guinea pig test market for driverless
Speaker 1: cars here in the US, specifically Waimo, which is a
Speaker 1: spin off of the Google company or Alphabet I guess
Speaker 1: is the parent company, and they've been doing driverless cars
Speaker 1: in around San Francisco. Who's been permissive of it? Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot a lot of places don't allow it,
Speaker 1: although more and more are. We had that video not
Speaker 1: long ago of an officer pulled over a driverless car
Speaker 1: and he didn't even hit it with his night stick.
Speaker 1: I mean, what a waste. But they've been people have
Speaker 1: been dealing with this for better in a decade in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. In fact, fifteen years, that's how long San
Speaker 1: Francisco is allowed, to some extent driverless cars to operate
Speaker 1: on their roads. So you've had fifteen years to work
Speaker 1: on this, and I understand that it's not easy, and frankly,
Speaker 1: you know, it might be unachievable in some instant you know,
Speaker 1: in some traffic situations, I can't and maybe not in
Speaker 1: the US. Have you ever been to a foreign country
Speaker 1: where there's clearly no traffic laws. If you go to
Speaker 1: if you go to Dominican Republic, you pretty much do
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Not that you'd want to drive around there,
Speaker 1: but I've had the I've done that. I've driven from
Speaker 1: the north to north side to the south side at
Speaker 1: military checkpoints, but you can pretty much do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: A lot of Central Americas like that. You know, they
Speaker 1: have signs and stuff, and they don't really enforce anything.
Speaker 1: And so when you get into more you know, busier
Speaker 1: areas or have you ever been to Asia, You ever
Speaker 1: been in one of the big cities in Asia and
Speaker 1: seen traffic around there or India if you've ever seen
Speaker 1: the videos. I don't know how driverless car would ever
Speaker 1: work there, but San Francisco's where they're testing them, and
Speaker 1: they've had some problems. Although I was correct in saying
Speaker 1: that that driverless cars would turn into essentially sex booths,
Speaker 1: which is a thing because of court you have driverless ubers,
Speaker 1: people drunk from a bar, heavy petting each other in
Speaker 1: the back of that thing. You know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: But I digress. So here's what happened here. So they
Speaker 1: have a big parking lot and it's surrounded by residential buildings,
Speaker 1: and it is it's the charge up station in the
Speaker 1: parking lot where the cars go to at night recharge
Speaker 1: and sleep I guess, you know, or whatever. And then
Speaker 1: at four in the morning the cars come alive and
Speaker 1: then they go out and they actually, you know, they
Speaker 1: have an algorithm to predict them based on usage in
Speaker 1: different parts to the city. But they moved where they
Speaker 1: were re storing the cars and they moved it into
Speaker 1: this area, which makes more sense that it's closer to
Speaker 1: where the actual people wanting to use them. Are. But
Speaker 1: at four am there's video from the security build of
Speaker 1: the security footage from the buildings adjacent to this parking lot.
Speaker 1: They keep causing traffic jams in their own parking lot
Speaker 1: because they're all trying to leave at the same time.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's like when you're trying to leave you know,
Speaker 1: the UNC game or whatever, and it's just you just
Speaker 1: idiots abroad, you know, everywhere. Man. So that's that's funny enough.
Speaker 1: But when they have a function, which is the most
Speaker 1: pointless function I've ever heard of, so a they will
Speaker 1: honk to alert based on proximity another vehicle to their presence. Now,
Speaker 1: it's not impractical when you're out in the real world
Speaker 1: and the car is not another driverless car, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Hey I'm backing up, or hey i'm behind you. You know,
Speaker 1: we we have little honks in certain situations. That reminds
Speaker 1: me in when I was driving in Costa Rica. They
Speaker 1: literally people will honk to let you know they're going
Speaker 1: to run a stoplight and then they'll just run it,
Speaker 1: but at least they honked and everyone's just good natured
Speaker 1: about It's really weird. But anyway back to this, so,
Speaker 1: so these folks are waking up four am to fifty
Speaker 1: one hundred cars honking in Unison. But here's the deal.
Speaker 1: Why would you have to honk to another driverless car
Speaker 1: whose network you're connected to? And the answer is, you don't.
Speaker 1: This is a simple programming thing. If it's honking to
Speaker 1: alert its presence and it's because of proximity to another
Speaker 1: vehicle that it knows is another driverless vehicle, just have
Speaker 1: your computer brain tell the other computer brain the honking's
Speaker 1: purely perfunctories for show. It's for the person who thinks
Speaker 1: in the back of the car. Let me ask you
Speaker 1: this question. So I didn't know that. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that have fifteen years to work on this ross. Will
Speaker 1: you get a driverless car? Would you get inside? If
Speaker 1: if I said, hey, man, driverless car coming by the station.
Speaker 1: They want to show it off.
Speaker 3: You want to go for a while, like just for fun,
Speaker 3: like around the parking lot? Are we going on like
Speaker 3: the belt?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, we're gonna go. You're gonna take the loop.
Speaker 1: I'm passing on that. But why you not to drive?
Speaker 1: You can sit in the back and you said wherever
Speaker 1: you want, do whatever you want. I only get in
Speaker 1: cars that have drivers that I'm paying for. Are you
Speaker 1: getting here? Does your wife drive? When you guys know
Speaker 1: we have drivers? Oh so first see you? No, I
Speaker 1: like driving, man, I like driving my own car. Well,
Speaker 1: I understand that, but that's not all. I mean, you
Speaker 1: don't drink anymore, but like you know, when you're drinking,
Speaker 1: you don't get the Uber. I would encourage people to
Speaker 1: do that or the Lyft. I actually like Lyft a
Speaker 1: little more. But yeah, I mean I'm super weird man,
Speaker 1: And you know I don't drink at all. We don't
Speaker 1: drink either, this markie. And I've never used an Uber
Speaker 1: or a Lyft either. Really yeah right, I've never even
Speaker 1: downloaded the app even when you're travel I guess you
Speaker 1: right in a car? We don't have to visit your mom? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: yeah I was. I was initially hesitant, and that's enough
Speaker 1: for me. I had. I took an Uber one time
Speaker 1: and the woman drove on the sidewalk. Is that not
Speaker 1: a reasonable place to drive? Well, she only drove the
Speaker 1: two passenger side tires of the sidewalk. The other two
Speaker 1: were on the road, so I don't know if she
Speaker 1: was trying to do a weird stunt cars on two wheels.
Speaker 3: Was she like avoiding a child or something, or like a.
Speaker 1: Pola couldn't use the app? So I figured out is
Speaker 1: she she had technological mental meltdown because she didn't start
Speaker 1: the ride. So she picked me up, and I cause
Speaker 1: I could see her phone out of there. She picks
Speaker 1: me up and she starts like going like a half
Speaker 1: mile an hour, and she's screwing with her phone. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: she's just starting the ride, but it's not working. Then
Speaker 1: she starts taking off at like freeway speeds and we're
Speaker 1: going down. This is on Atlantic Boulevard in Raleigh, so
Speaker 1: this is from uh, this is from essentially by my
Speaker 1: house to a downtown is where I'm going. And so
Speaker 1: she comes off there, she flips over to Atlantic, which
Speaker 1: is you know's that's what five blocks she's probably moved
Speaker 1: to get to Atlantic from my house. So she's gone
Speaker 1: five blocks either a half mile an hour or at
Speaker 1: about sixty on street. And she keeps it and I
Speaker 1: can see what it's doing. It keeps yelling directions at
Speaker 1: her to turn around to go back to my house
Speaker 1: where she had picked me up. And it's because she
Speaker 1: didn't press starts, so it still thinks it's going to
Speaker 1: pick me up, and she can't handle it. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the car jumps up in the air and
Speaker 1: she's driving on the sidewalk. Now, what would you do
Speaker 1: if you were driving on the sidewalk? You just you
Speaker 1: lost concentration, and now two tires are on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: What would you do? I would say, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I would drive back into the road. You drive back
Speaker 1: in there, or you might stop right, you may stop yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: she did either of those. She's like, this lane works.
Speaker 1: And we went down Atlantic down past the where they
Speaker 1: had where they built all the new restaurants, and then
Speaker 1: where the brewery used to be there, or where the
Speaker 1: breweries and the waste management all that is. So it's
Speaker 1: that stretch from like six forks to when you go
Speaker 1: to get on the freeway down on Capitol Ble. She
Speaker 1: drove that whole top section before he came down the
Speaker 1: hill on the damn sidewalk, And only when you get
Speaker 1: to where the walking path is, the rape trail is
Speaker 1: my neighbors call it. Talk to my neighbors. Then she's like,
Speaker 1: because there's posts there and there's a creek. She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: guess we have to get back over here, and she
Speaker 1: kept going and then I looked and I realized her
Speaker 1: Uber rating was a three point two, which you don't
Speaker 1: use Uber. That's crazy. That's three five, not a five,
Speaker 1: which you might eat at a restaurant. That's a three
Speaker 1: point two if you get in an uber and it's
Speaker 1: and it's under a four point like I'm a four
Speaker 1: point nine to five. And I only know this because
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out why it dropped because I haven't
Speaker 1: I hadn't taken an Uber in a while. But whatever,
Speaker 1: But if you get in there and the driver's three
Speaker 1: point two, they're probably gonna murder you. Like I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do, because people just put
Speaker 1: five for no reason. Oh I didn't get murdered. Five
Speaker 1: didn't get murdered five. She had a three point two.
Speaker 1: I hope to God this woman isn't out there doing it.
Speaker 1: And yes, for those of you asking, I did say
Speaker 1: something to Uber. She was She's dangerous. She absolutely because
Speaker 1: she and it's not that she's probably a dangerous driver
Speaker 1: if she's focused on it. She can't use technology in
Speaker 1: that at the same time, and she was one of
Speaker 1: only two Uber drivers I've ever reported the other one
Speaker 1: and I'm not making this up. It sounds like And
Speaker 1: when I told my friends, they didn't believe me either,
Speaker 1: and the person at Uber they didn't believe the submission
Speaker 1: I had met so much I got a phone call
Speaker 1: from Uber. This dude picks me up. He's a younger guy,
Speaker 1: He's in a car, and he had clearly just gotten
Speaker 1: into some sort of uh, some sort of squabble with uh.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It sounds like an x that he
Speaker 1: was still and he wanted to tell me about it.
Speaker 1: And then you started talking about how you ever get
Speaker 1: that feeling where you just want to murder a woman?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't think he means figuratively, and
Speaker 1: he went on. He's just like, yeah, you know, this
Speaker 1: is I understand why guys just you know, they snap
Speaker 1: and they do this stuff. And I'm and I'm sitting
Speaker 1: in the back of this car. I'm like, get me out.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm not a woman one get me out
Speaker 1: of this psychopass car. So yeah, so her and that dude,
Speaker 1: but yeah, driverless cars, no, thank you, not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And it is it is, It is comical to watch
Speaker 1: them all traffic jam themselves in a parking lot at
Speaker 1: the same time. But I feel bad for anyone who's
Speaker 1: got to look well, that's why you don't live in
Speaker 1: downtown San Francisco. So there you go, all right, we will.
Speaker 1: We retweeted that. Look at that. I just did a
Speaker 1: whole whole opener on. Then, yeah, there's some crazy folks.
Speaker 1: But to be fair, you know, if you talk to
Speaker 1: you know, you talk to uber lyft drivers that you
Speaker 1: know are not and most of them are fine. Uh,
Speaker 1: and you get one of them if you're on a
Speaker 1: longer ride, tell you about some crazy stuff. And I
Speaker 1: feel bad for those dudes. There's a reason there's a
Speaker 1: vomit fee. There's a reason there's shenanigans that are afoot.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a guy who does a YouTube channel
Speaker 1: that drives uber and the stuff he posts it's clearly
Speaker 1: not staged. The amount of people that try to like
Speaker 1: cancel rides or or punched Uber drides, it's there's a
Speaker 1: reason they have cameras. But occasionally it's the drivers man
Speaker 1: and uh mass murderer and a woman who drives on sidewalk.
Speaker 1: God help me if you get either of those people,
Speaker 1: although he doesn't drive for them anymore. They actually ended
Speaker 1: up sending me an email back saying that they had
Speaker 1: they had multiple complaints and he was out of the system.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, so he threatened to kill women multiple times?
Speaker 1: I just I didn't respond. But how many times do
Speaker 1: you have to fantasize about murdering women that and tell people,
Speaker 1: tell strangers about it before they kick you off the platform?
Speaker 1: And I don't know the answer to that. So you're
Speaker 1: a driver listening to my voice right now, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe don't do that? All right? Eight eighteen Cacoday Radio program.
Speaker 1: We get some audio we gotta get to not as
Speaker 1: much as we normally do. What did Boston Paul? Did
Speaker 1: you give her five stars? I did not? How about
Speaker 1: right in a party bus is different? Okay? An uber
Speaker 1: home from the bar one of these way most home
Speaker 1: from the bar is not the bachelor party party bus.
Speaker 1: That's different. We had we had a party group at
Speaker 1: a party bus down in Myrtle one time. That driver
Speaker 1: knew what was up and it wasn't It wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: Sodom and gomorre in there. But everyone's acting like a
Speaker 1: bunch of drunk fools and they're doing stuff you clearly shouldn't.
Speaker 1: But that's what they signed up for. This is not
Speaker 1: I did not sign up to drive on the sidewalk
Speaker 1: on Atlantic. All right, eight nineteen, hang on, we'll be back.
Speaker 1: Do you follow the Murdau that South Carolina murdaw trial
Speaker 1: that was you know this lawyer accused of.
Speaker 3: So the funny thing about that is I followed it
Speaker 3: via my viewers on Twitch. Everything about it I know
Speaker 3: from my chat on Twitch. It's about it.
Speaker 1: I know nothing I got. I mean, I know the
Speaker 1: basics of the story, and people were enraptured by this
Speaker 1: story mark kind of the court TV thing of the moment.
Speaker 1: I never got into it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Markey was into it kind of sort of too,
Speaker 3: and she's I've heard some stuff through her.
Speaker 1: So it looks like it looks like they may have
Speaker 1: to do this all over again. So I knew that
Speaker 1: the the county clerk, Rebecca Hill, there were accusations that
Speaker 1: she jury tampered and by the way, this is how
Speaker 1: they accused her of jury tampering. Now she's she's not
Speaker 1: prosecutor making a closing argument. She is the court clerk.
Speaker 1: She is accused of telling jurors not to be fooled,
Speaker 1: that it's an emotional put on with his testimony and
Speaker 1: all that, and he can't do that, can't do that.
Speaker 1: But the question became did it sway jurors, And initially
Speaker 1: they decided that it didn't. Also, this woman published a book,
Speaker 1: you know, because the trial was there, and she decides
Speaker 1: she was going to cash in on it. And then
Speaker 1: they went through the book and figured out she plagiarized
Speaker 1: a bunch of it, so she resigned in disgrace. Then
Speaker 1: they thought then they wanted to charge with jury tampering. Well,
Speaker 1: now it looks like the South Carolina Supreme Court maybe
Speaker 1: signing on to this argument with the with the idea
Speaker 1: that here we go, the South Carolina Supreme Court will
Speaker 1: now hear arguments for against a new murder trial. So
Speaker 1: they've decided to elevate this based on that. And that's
Speaker 1: actually kind of a big deal in South Carolina because
Speaker 1: they the Supreme Court works. They got slightly different down there,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's pretty it's a good indicator if
Speaker 1: you're a defendant's lawyer at the Supreme Court's willing to
Speaker 1: take this up after three courts have already said no,
Speaker 1: but three local courts that could be interesting. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so this publicity seeking that's specifically what they call her
Speaker 1: court clerk may have made them do this all over again.
Speaker 1: But I guess if you're really into the trial, there
Speaker 1: you go. What was the craziest thing you heard about this?
Speaker 1: Do you remember? Because again I don't know very much
Speaker 1: about it. I remember the whole thing was weird. But
Speaker 1: I guess maybe we'll get a do over. Simone Biles right,
Speaker 1: the gymnast her birth mother, and I didn't I didn't
Speaker 1: really know the story. I knew she was raised by
Speaker 1: her grandparents. I didn't know the story just from an article,
Speaker 1: the articles that I've read. So apparently her and her
Speaker 1: sister there with mom. Mom's a big fan of partying,
Speaker 1: and obviously it appears she was dealing with drug and
Speaker 1: alcohol addiction, and so she's like one day, like, we're
Speaker 1: going to visit your grandparents. And then took the little
Speaker 1: girls to Texas. They lived in Ohio, took them to Texas.
Speaker 1: Said she was, I don't know, going to the going
Speaker 1: to the corner store for milk, and then just almost
Speaker 1: out of there, man just gone. And that was how
Speaker 1: it was for years and years. The grandparents raised Simon.
Speaker 1: Obviously they helped her pursue her passion. She's got eleven
Speaker 1: medals now and I think she's married to the Safety
Speaker 1: for the Bears. So it's really funny watching those two
Speaker 1: stand next to each other, and you know, she's living
Speaker 1: her best life whatever. Well, right, is all this is
Speaker 1: going on? I see these news outlets that are doing
Speaker 1: interviews with the mom because mom is like, ah, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry, Hey, let's let's have a relationship. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, like things are complicated, especially when you're dealing
Speaker 1: with addiction. But you just abandoned your kids and abandon
Speaker 1: your family too, Like her parents didn't know where she went.
Speaker 1: She's just out of there. She's just partying and all that,
Speaker 1: and now you want to get back with your daughter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we've seen some instances like this, the famous people
Speaker 1: who were adopted. Yeah, you've seen it.
Speaker 3: It's like Joe Dirt, oh right, and then he struck
Speaker 3: the big time and suddenly his parents wanted his attention.
Speaker 3: They wanted to come back and do his life, and
Speaker 3: they were.
Speaker 1: Just everything is Joe actually this in this in this
Speaker 1: one instance, yeah, in this one instance, yes, I guess
Speaker 1: it is kind of like Joe.
Speaker 3: Dirt because and he was like, oh my god, it's
Speaker 3: my family, and then he realized the real family it
Speaker 3: was with him in the entire time. He didn't need
Speaker 3: them because they were trash.
Speaker 1: Tied it up with a bow, which is why they
Speaker 1: made a second one, right, I never saw that one.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, why would they make a second
Speaker 1: one if they had it? So? For the message? I
Speaker 1: guess would be money. Oh wait, why do you think
Speaker 1: Mom's reaching out to Simona? My guess would be money.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I I don't know. And that's why Joe
Speaker 1: Dirt is the top three movie. It's not for you, Yes,
Speaker 1: it is for you. Yes, Godfather three, Godfather one, and
Speaker 1: then Joe Dirt. You said, right, why you have Godfather threes?
Speaker 1: Number one? I will never know. Did we decide whether
Speaker 1: you like number two or number one?
Speaker 4: More?
Speaker 3: I I know most people I think like Godfather two more.
Speaker 3: I like Godfather one. I just like the wedding site
Speaker 3: because without godfeather when you'd have no Godfather too.
Speaker 1: Well, but that's I don't know. So I like Godfather too.
Speaker 1: It's a great it's a great movie. Yeah, But I
Speaker 1: mean I don't know the original. Yeah, Marlon Brando, I
Speaker 1: used to like I used to like number two more
Speaker 1: and and I think even though I've decided, I just
Speaker 1: can't let it because there's too many good movies. I
Speaker 1: think the neuros put me off so much. Yeah, where
Speaker 1: I'm just like, screw this guy. Although actually I did
Speaker 1: see something where I kind of all right, well hold on,
Speaker 1: let me flip over to this. Do I put this? Oh?
Speaker 1: I emailed it to myself and then I didn't know
Speaker 1: but it because I'm dumb, all right, is this story
Speaker 1: I was gonna get to you yesterday. Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1: So remember I talked about how creepy AI could start
Speaker 1: making everything with you know, if you get families quote
Speaker 1: looking for money who happen to own publishing rights still
Speaker 1: for their dead famous singer relatives or actor relatives, Like
Speaker 1: how creepy could it get? How fast? And so? But
Speaker 1: you can't go in with the really big stuff right away,
Speaker 1: right You can't go in and be like, hey, who's
Speaker 1: the porn actress, who's the very famous one? Who? Well
Speaker 1: pick one, I think several pick one. You can't go
Speaker 1: back to start making adult films with her again. Although
Speaker 1: that would be your profession. Still, that's just foo, right,
Speaker 1: or even maybe having actors act in roles that they
Speaker 1: knowingly wouldn't have taken in real life. Or singers, right,
Speaker 1: what was the one where they had what was it
Speaker 1: eldest singing some modern song? It was a really creepy AI.
Speaker 1: That being said, where it does make sense and there
Speaker 1: is now apparently this is a CNBC article Hollywood icons
Speaker 1: of the past take new star turn celebrity estates cashing
Speaker 1: in on AI voice cloning deals. So this is the
Speaker 1: this is the rage in Hollywood. There are several companies
Speaker 1: and I'll explain the tech to you in a moment.
Speaker 1: There are several companies that are going out and trying
Speaker 1: to get exclusive licensing for the voice of all sorts
Speaker 1: of famous people. In fact, in the article they talk
Speaker 1: about let's see here, Bert Reynolds, Lawrence Olivier, Judy Garland,
Speaker 1: all sorts of them, and even some live actors. They're
Speaker 1: approaching them too. And the way it works is this,
Speaker 1: and this is how the voice thing works for now.
Speaker 1: So you know how you get books on tape? You
Speaker 1: guys like books on tape. I'll listen to them and
Speaker 1: I'm on a plane, and I try to around the
Speaker 1: house sometimes, Like I listened to Wise Guy, which is
Speaker 1: the book The Goodfellas is basically okay on tape all
Speaker 1: but but I also listen. I have to listen to
Speaker 1: one where Henry Hill is doing the narration and his
Speaker 1: wife who actually do do the narration for part of
Speaker 1: it when it's in first person in the book on tape.
Speaker 1: But I'm not really into it, but some people are
Speaker 1: really into it. So what if just like you can
Speaker 1: select the voice of your AI assistant, like you can
Speaker 1: make Siri have be a man, and you can make
Speaker 1: Siri from anywhere. My Siri is Irish. She's an Irish lass.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think I changed them when
Speaker 1: I first got the phone. I never changed it back.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because I barely use it. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, now she thinks I want to talk to her.
Speaker 1: Go away, go pick potatoes. I can make that joke anyway.
Speaker 1: So you instead of having to get the book or
Speaker 1: buy the audio version of Wise Guys, the one where
Speaker 1: you have, you know, the actual dude and his wife
Speaker 1: narrating part of it, because there's another one where it's not.
Speaker 1: You can pick any book and they only need a
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of voice of most people to be able
Speaker 1: to put an almost perfect voice assistant or in this case,
Speaker 1: voice reader together. So these these tech companies, and some
Speaker 1: of them Google Play, Apple Books, some of the big ones,
Speaker 1: where there's also some smaller ones, are rushing to get
Speaker 1: all these big names signed up. So if you wanted
Speaker 1: to have a famous person read you, if you wanted
Speaker 1: to read, if you want to have a book read
Speaker 1: to you by Bobcat Goldwick, you could, which I think
Speaker 1: is the way to go. If I'm not wrong, right,
Speaker 1: Can you imagine I'm gonna do Warren Peace, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have Bobcat read it to me. That'd be amazing.
Speaker 1: Now here's the only reason I'm excited for this. I
Speaker 1: can't wait until I have the option to get Rosie
Speaker 1: O'Donnell and de Niro's download and have them read the
Speaker 1: Art of the Deal to me. I don't know why
Speaker 1: that would make me so happy, but I think that'd
Speaker 1: be hilarious. Can you imagine DeNiro, well, in this case,
Speaker 1: dead de Niro, his greedy family has basically sold his
Speaker 1: voice for extra money, and now he's got to read
Speaker 1: Trump's book to you. Rosie O'Donnell. Oh yeah, Debra Messy
Speaker 1: and in rest these moonbats. Mark Ruffalo probably have to
Speaker 1: wait a little on him, but you know, Hollywood sometimes
Speaker 1: they offer him up early, so that'd be great, although
Speaker 1: they say that already, there's lots of unlicensed versions of
Speaker 1: this as people are able to, you know, really grab
Speaker 1: on to the power of AI that's out there and
Speaker 1: use it to go ahead and do a variety of things.
Speaker 1: Do you remember how bad the Joe Rogan things sounded
Speaker 1: just a few years ago with the hockey and the
Speaker 1: Monkeys we played. I mean it didn't sound awful, yeah,
Speaker 1: but the cadence was off, like you could tell it
Speaker 1: was generated. Some of the stuff that's generated now they're
Speaker 1: the emotional inflection is getting so good, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe that's because I'm in the in the world of audio,
Speaker 1: but the Rogan immediately, I'm like, there's a lot that's
Speaker 1: wrong with this. Some of it's really good. But now
Speaker 1: if you just need thirty minutes of somebody, feasibly you
Speaker 1: could find thirty minutes of audio of most people because
Speaker 1: of a lot of people post videos online. People post
Speaker 1: videos online or you have access to their video, so
Speaker 1: pheasibly you could easily make you could make it out
Speaker 1: a ross reader. That's it. Ross, there's your next billion
Speaker 1: dollar IDEA ross reader. Yeah, and you just people just
Speaker 1: plug it in and then whatever book or anything you
Speaker 1: put in there, it's all read in your voice. So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking you could do Art of War, you'd try
Speaker 1: to limit it, or anarchist cookbook, you know, make it
Speaker 1: real edgy. But ah, so for that, that's when I'll
Speaker 1: re embrace the hero, when I can use his now
Speaker 1: deceased voice to read Trump stuff to me, or maybe
Speaker 1: just read Trump tweets. A jerk, I know whatever, a
Speaker 1: forty four raced agic. He's not a jerk unless he
Speaker 1: gives you a bad forecast and it ruins your beat, right,
Speaker 1: any something now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know yeah, not today, No, not today, maybe
Speaker 4: later down the road, probably toward the weekend, later, just
Speaker 4: in time. Right, if we see some of the swells
Speaker 4: from what will be Hurricane or Nesto try to come
Speaker 4: toward the east coast, they probably will, just a question
Speaker 4: of you know, how big and how much impact will
Speaker 4: they have, But just keep an eye out that the
Speaker 4: flags are flying out of the beach. Is certainly going
Speaker 4: to want to pay attention to that. Other than that,
Speaker 4: we're a pretty good shape for the rest of the week.
Speaker 4: Beautiful morning, seeing a few clouds, Still got a few
Speaker 4: areas of fog, but that's going away. May Papa shower,
Speaker 4: thundershower this afternoon, nothing widespread. Temperatures will stay comfortable in
Speaker 4: the little mid eighties, in the sixties again tonight and
Speaker 4: again to the west and in the mountains there could
Speaker 4: be some fifties Thursday, Friday sunning mid to maybe upper eighties.
Speaker 4: A little more humidity at cac for the weekend, maybe
Speaker 4: some afternoon showers thundershowers, but for the middle of August,
Speaker 4: really not a bad forecast. We'll let you think the
Speaker 4: heats behind us. You know, I don't think you knows
Speaker 4: behind us.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna screw us one more time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, September, like we'll get past Labor Day one of
Speaker 4: these September mid ninety degree stretches.
Speaker 1: But right now, next never tell you about the time
Speaker 1: I went winter camping to Minnesota but didn't mean to.
Speaker 4: How does that happen?
Speaker 1: It was end of September, and uh, you know the
Speaker 1: state fairs in September there, so I mean, it gets
Speaker 1: really hot Minnesota gets hot and and so we're getting
Speaker 1: towards the end of September and I'm like, let's do
Speaker 1: one more trip to the boundary waters. And so me
Speaker 1: and three buddies we went out there, had our tents
Speaker 1: and our boats because got a portage boats. It's a
Speaker 1: whole thing. And all of a sudden we got the
Speaker 1: most snow in a single day in October. I have
Speaker 1: video of this because the guys that are with or
Speaker 1: one of them was the TV guys. So you're shooting
Speaker 1: a bunch of year olds. We're just camping in it. Man,
Speaker 1: just can't just do what we can likely we brought
Speaker 1: some quest did you know it'd be cooler? We didn't
Speaker 1: know it was going to be that cool, so right,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're at the temperature changes anywhere. So thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Okay, there you go, raced agic. Oh man,
Speaker 1: do I have a twist on? Oh? Is this a
Speaker 1: twist on the whole? Men competing in women's athletics? Wait
Speaker 1: for it, it's next.
Speaker 6: Good morning, Casey. A couple of big stories this morning.
Speaker 6: Economists were on the money with their forecasts on the
Speaker 6: Consumer Price Index, the headline and Core CPI both rose
Speaker 6: two tenths percent last month. One potential fly in the
Speaker 6: ointment the Federal Reserve may be troubled by a bigger
Speaker 6: than expected increase in shelter costs. Stock market futures just
Speaker 6: a little bit higher as we get ready for the
Speaker 6: midweek session. S and P futures or up six, the
Speaker 6: Nasdaq futures are up twenty six, and the Dow futures.
Speaker 1: Or up five.
Speaker 6: The other big story this morning is Mars agreeing to
Speaker 6: buy kelen Nova, and what is one of the biggest
Speaker 6: deals so far this year. Mars is paying eighty three
Speaker 6: dollars and fifty cents a share nearly thirty six billion
Speaker 6: dollars in all for Kelenova, which makes Pringles, chips, I
Speaker 6: go waffles and pop tarts and other products. Kelenova has
Speaker 6: been doing better than some other packaged food maker since
Speaker 6: being spot off by Kellogg last year, and this acquisition
Speaker 6: is helping Mars diversify its portfolio, which is currently chocolate heavy.
Speaker 6: A Google was showing off its new smartphones, watches, and
Speaker 6: earbuds at what it called a hardware event yesterday. At
Speaker 6: the same time, the Justice Department was considering its next
Speaker 6: move against Google now that a court rule that the
Speaker 6: company monopolized the Internet's search market. Sources say one option
Speaker 6: on the table is an effort to force a breakup
Speaker 6: of Google. A lot of new car buyers stretching their budgets.
Speaker 6: Now Edmunds has average monthly payments hit a record seven
Speaker 6: hundred and forty dollars in the second quarter. Nearly eighteen
Speaker 6: percent new car loans come with monthly payments of more
Speaker 6: than one thousand dollars. FED data show there has been
Speaker 6: an increase in auto loan delinquencies. In Casey, A lot
Speaker 6: of today's music stars going retro. They're releasing their albums
Speaker 6: on cassette. A lot of teenagers and twenty somethings bought
Speaker 6: the tapes, but they needed help from the baby boomers
Speaker 6: to play them. Wall Street Journal says gen zers are
Speaker 6: using their parents' old boom boxes or Sony Walkman players
Speaker 6: bought on eBay.
Speaker 1: Casey, I yeah, I hate this. I I like it.
Speaker 1: For the artists, I'm glad they're making money. But no, no, jeez,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, thank you sir, that's old. Appreciate it,
Speaker 1: all right, have a good day. Yeah. I don't want
Speaker 1: I don't want my music delivery system. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean, tapes I had with DJ's talking up the
Speaker 1: ramp when I was a kid. ROJ. You ever do
Speaker 1: that record off the radio? Make you stuff a little
Speaker 1: mixtape off of it? Super weird? Shut up, No, I
Speaker 1: was super weird. I would record the DJ. That's actually
Speaker 1: probably true. It is true. I'm not lying.
Speaker 3: I mean that's what I wanted to do. I wanted
Speaker 3: to the DJ, and I was like so fascinated to me,
Speaker 3: it was like an art form. It was like, I
Speaker 3: need to record that guy. That guy's cool.
Speaker 1: I would record when Casey Kasem's Top forty because we
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot because we only had two country stations,
Speaker 1: but the Sheridan station did play Casey's Top forty on
Speaker 1: on the weekend for some reason. On a non Top
Speaker 1: forty station whatever, I would record that whole damn thing. Man,
Speaker 1: Oh those were the days. I still remember my first
Speaker 1: cassette tape. Do you remember the first cassette tape you
Speaker 1: ever owned? I sure do. Yeah? What was it? Top
Speaker 1: Gun soundtrack? Nice Huey Lewis in the news, Yes for me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, Hey, you know when you start to
Speaker 1: normalize stuff, so's you gotta start branching out and find
Speaker 1: a new twist and turns all right, Well, apparently just
Speaker 1: the simple act of men competing in women's athletic events
Speaker 1: that's too vanilla for some people. You ready for this
Speaker 1: headline and you're gonna have a lot of questions. A
Speaker 1: blind runner who won eleven national titles is a man
Speaker 1: and will compete as a woman in the upcoming Para Olympics. Okay,
Speaker 1: before we get to any of the trans stuff, and
Speaker 1: I mean this not out of disrespect. There. Every picture
Speaker 1: on the article is this individual running on a track
Speaker 1: which has lanes? How do you do that? That's blind?
Speaker 1: That's amazing. That is amazing to be like, how do
Speaker 1: you do that if you're blind and legally blind? Keep
Speaker 1: in mind you would have to be legally blind. I
Speaker 1: know some people you say blind, they're not totally blind
Speaker 1: but still making out track lines. But this individual wins
Speaker 1: in the men's Like.
Speaker 3: I said, this is just out of curiosity. There's no
Speaker 3: joke here, like would there because now this is this
Speaker 3: is amazing. Is there some sort of like brail or
Speaker 3: something on the track like you can like feel like
Speaker 3: how would you know that you're I don't know. I
Speaker 3: would write if it was me, like we're gonna blindfold
Speaker 3: your runner on the track. I'd be out in traffic
Speaker 3: and no time would be getting run over by cars.
Speaker 1: Ripross yes, yes, yes, yes
