Speaker 1: Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. You want to you want to be on
Speaker 1: the show, that's how you go ahead and make that happen.
Speaker 1: Speaking of coming up on the show, we got let's see,
Speaker 1: we got Stephen Kent. He'll be joining us on this
Speaker 1: on this fine morn and that'll be in the.
Speaker 2: Eight o'clock hour, eight oh five.
Speaker 1: So I tell you this because obviously we tend to
Speaker 1: when we have Steven On be able to deviate away
Speaker 1: from the world of politics for a few minutes, except
Speaker 1: where it intersects with you know, like the entertainment industry,
Speaker 1: and Frank, I feel like we all need that. This week,
Speaker 1: I was at a I was at an event for
Speaker 1: one of our clients. I was at an event for
Speaker 1: one of our clients. Man, I could never get away
Speaker 1: from our doomsday updates, even when I'm in another market.
Speaker 3: There we go.
Speaker 1: Okay, one of our clients, Doug Ray Wealth Guardians Gentlemen,
Speaker 1: was he had an event for you know, folks that
Speaker 1: work with him, and uh, I don't know. We had
Speaker 1: maybe thirty thirty five people there yesterday and we did
Speaker 1: a Q and A and uh, yeah, everyone is on
Speaker 1: edge man and understandably. So I just want to point
Speaker 1: that understandably so that everyone is on edge. But I
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like on Friday Ross, we have
Speaker 1: an obligation to talk about nothing but nonsense. So I
Speaker 1: maybe I may be trending in that direction. Nonsense and
Speaker 1: cat memes. You realize you all have become cat memers.
Speaker 1: You know that, right, think of it. You have become
Speaker 1: the cat memers.
Speaker 2: It's like a sigup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got you. They get yourself, a shawl and afghan,
Speaker 1: a divorce, a hoarder house, you're in.
Speaker 2: You're in.
Speaker 1: He tricked you. They really didn't trick you, because you
Speaker 1: know it's still horrible. Oh I'm sorry, it's not horrid.
Speaker 1: It's debunked. It's all debunked that bad.
Speaker 2: You know, you do this for a while, you end
Speaker 2: up seeing like patterns, like like how.
Speaker 1: Things are, and you predict stuff. You predict stuff before
Speaker 1: you even see the edge of the patterns.
Speaker 2: Because you've been doing it so long you can just
Speaker 2: see how it's going to play out. Right. Yeah, for
Speaker 2: me personally, it's a gift. For others, it's just like
Speaker 2: you get over time, you get lucky. Maybe and I've
Speaker 2: been getting the feeling. See my videos come out of Springfield.
Speaker 2: I saw her this morning of a young African American
Speaker 2: woman and she was just in tears bawling about finding
Speaker 2: a decapitated dog and how she was terrified and it
Speaker 2: got hit by car. She was by car and she's
Speaker 2: just crying. I saw another video of a guy from
Speaker 2: Jamaica and he was made a video in a park
Speaker 2: and he was talking about how, you know, he was
Speaker 2: born and raised in Jamaica and talking about, you know,
Speaker 2: he has experience with the you know, Haitians, and if
Speaker 2: he said, just go out and talk to like a
Speaker 2: native born Haitian, not somebody that's been Americanized over decades here,
Speaker 2: but like somebody who just got here, or just go
Speaker 2: there and you know, and talk to them. And so
Speaker 2: by the way, don't go to Haiti. Yeah, anyway, and
Speaker 2: just talk to them and you'll find out that this
Speaker 2: sort of thing is a religious practice they do involving
Speaker 2: voodoo and it's it's believed that you know, they harvest,
Speaker 2: they harvest the blood and they do it for good luck.
Speaker 2: And then it's something he said, that's something that they
Speaker 2: would be proud of, and it's something they do over
Speaker 2: there it's their religious belief. So if you were to
Speaker 2: drop twenty thousand Haitians in a town of fifty thousand people,
Speaker 2: they're probably not going to be super Americanized really quick
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 1: But you're not and you're not implying that every single
Speaker 1: Haitian is even partaking in that.
Speaker 2: No, it is a segment of yes, But there's actually
Speaker 2: a percentage of the population there in Haiti. And there
Speaker 2: is another girl that said she was on a missionary
Speaker 2: assignment there from the church shoots down in Haiti, and
Speaker 2: she said, what they did there is they had to
Speaker 2: put a certain flat over their house so people would
Speaker 2: know that they practiced it. It was like a black
Speaker 2: flag or something. And she was talking about how that
Speaker 2: that was the norm there. But she said, if you
Speaker 2: were to drop twenty thousand Haitians in a city of
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people, which, by the way, Mayor Adams said
Speaker 2: that New York City was on the verge of collapse
Speaker 2: after their population went up two percent now today one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand out of the millions and millions.
Speaker 2: Whereas you drop twenty thousand Haitians in a town of
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people, what is that going to do to
Speaker 2: their economy, let alone all this other stuff, right.
Speaker 1: Right, these are all legitimate, yeah questions, conversations that have
Speaker 1: all been debunked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there is going to be a percentage of
Speaker 2: this population that is going to practice this stuff. So
Speaker 2: I but I have a feeling the way this is
Speaker 2: coming out, in the way videos are coming out, and
Speaker 2: you have like the nine one one call a log
Speaker 2: from Springfield because first they were like, you know, and
Speaker 2: David Moore whatever he pronounces the name of the moderator
Speaker 2: from the EBCD was like, you know, ther French or
Speaker 2: whatever he said that you know, the Springfield Police Department
Speaker 2: said that they've gotten a report because people don't report
Speaker 2: missing pets to the police. That's not something that they do.
Speaker 2: That's not typically well.
Speaker 1: And also if when they do, like the NINEI one
Speaker 1: call log, they don't make a report. See, so they're
Speaker 1: playing it's word games. It's word games because they're not
Speaker 1: they're not doing an investigation because it's not a thing
Speaker 1: that they investigate.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: But then but then it came out with the nine
Speaker 2: to one to one call log where it was like
Speaker 2: you know, there it was in black and white from
Speaker 2: the police department. Talking about responding to a call where
Speaker 2: four geese were stolen.
Speaker 1: That's stolen livestock ross, which is a thing that I
Speaker 1: had to listen how stolen livestock is a common thing.
Speaker 1: Go to Wyoming and steal some cows. Right wait, I'll
Speaker 1: be right here, and I'll be here to console your family.
Speaker 2: You go right ahead. Or see how it is when
Speaker 2: when you maybe steal or you do something to another
Speaker 2: family's pig in West Virginia. Let's see how that plays out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's good point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But but my point is is it's not just
Speaker 1: it's not so a rampant thing that you can just
Speaker 1: write it off. Is that because what you're implying when
Speaker 1: you when you apply as somebody stole livestock generally, you know,
Speaker 1: when when they would rustle cows, they would rustle them
Speaker 1: because they wanted their own cows to raise, right, they
Speaker 1: were going into agricultural endeavors. They weren't killing the cow
Speaker 1: in a pentagram. Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you see people are like, oh, well, we've
Speaker 2: hunted waterfowl forever. Yeah. Well, it's not the cultural norm
Speaker 2: to go down to a park in the United States
Speaker 2: and to capitate a goose or or in front of
Speaker 2: children with a future shooter. Yeah, that's not what we
Speaker 2: do in this country. It's not our can can.
Speaker 1: I add to that too as somebody who has harvested
Speaker 1: waterfowl in and to hunt waterfowl, although I'm not a
Speaker 1: huge waterfowl guy because I frankly I don't really like to.
Speaker 2: Eat geese or ducks.
Speaker 1: I know that sounds weird and somebody probably be like, well,
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? It's just a person. I don't
Speaker 1: mind them, but it's not my favorite thing. That being said,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry where you saying to just.
Speaker 2: Go back to the to the to the original point.
Speaker 2: You know. The way that I see this playing out,
Speaker 2: it has the feelings of the Hunter Biden laptop up
Speaker 2: where it comes out in the election cycle relative you know,
Speaker 2: in the last few months, and it seems so out
Speaker 2: we're you know, so out there that people are like,
Speaker 2: this has to be fake. And then as time goes on.
Speaker 1: We thought we thought it might be. Do you remember
Speaker 1: we had Juliani. I you were like, the whole story
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. You're telling me Hunter Biden's gonna drop off
Speaker 1: his laptop with incriminating evidence to it. Dude in a
Speaker 1: computer shop in New or Delaware wherever it was, and
Speaker 1: he's with all this evidence on it, and then he's
Speaker 1: not going to pick it up. That is completely insane.
Speaker 1: And you understand where the memes are gonna come from,
Speaker 1: and people aren't gonna believe it. But as time went on,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, it all turned out to be true.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm just getting the vibes from the
Speaker 1: Springfield story that is sort of going to be the
Speaker 1: same way. And then what you're gonna see in a
Speaker 1: year because I see a lot of people on Facebook
Speaker 1: and I just ignore a lot of stuff on Facebook.
Speaker 1: People think it would be the other way, where like.
Speaker 2: I'm constantly engaging with people and I want to get
Speaker 2: into annance with I'm not that way at all. So
Speaker 2: I'll be scrolling and what I do is crazy. If
Speaker 2: I see somebody say something I don't agree with or
Speaker 2: I think it's complete lunacy or just dumb, I just
Speaker 2: keep scrolling and I non in my head a little
Speaker 2: bit because I know how it's gonna play out in
Speaker 2: a few weeks time. Right, I let things sort of
Speaker 2: marinate and process, and I let time in the facts
Speaker 2: catch up to them. But what is astounding to me,
Speaker 2: especially on this topic, when there's so much stuff coming
Speaker 2: out about it, and if you dive into it, it's
Speaker 2: not it's not the arrogance of people or not. It's
Speaker 2: not the ignorance of people. It's the arrogance. It's the
Speaker 2: arrogance in their ignorance that is astounding. Yeah, they're so confident,
Speaker 2: They're so confident they're right after being wrong repeatedly for
Speaker 2: three and a half years on nearly every subject. COVID
Speaker 2: hunter Biden's laptop, just throw it out, whatever the topic,
Speaker 2: they've been wrong. And you think at some point you
Speaker 2: would have the ability to look at yourself and look
Speaker 2: at your track record and be like, maybe, instead of
Speaker 2: spitting out my thoughts on a topic two seconds after
Speaker 2: it comes out with no knowledge, maybe I should sit
Speaker 2: back and process just a little bit, because I'm continuously
Speaker 2: looking stupid and dumb. But if you've never admit that
Speaker 2: you got one wrong, your your your record is unblemish.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like you're it's like you're h I
Speaker 1: don't mean to pick on the panthers, but it's like
Speaker 1: the Panthers at the end of this season running around undefeated, undefeated,
Speaker 1: one percent undefeated. That'd like Ross rolling in every morning
Speaker 1: with his four time world championship sweatshirt on.
Speaker 2: And you're like, no, it's the opposite of that. What
Speaker 2: are you sitting down?
Speaker 1: And then I would tell him be like ah whatever
Speaker 1: four times. Whoa going back? Going going back to real,
Speaker 1: real quick to the waterfowl thing. Illegally harvesting waterfowl is
Speaker 1: a big deal. Those of you who hunt know this.
Speaker 1: You start that dude who shot that deer up in
Speaker 1: Virginia up at the Hollywood Cemetery in uh h, was
Speaker 1: it your Richmond? I know if you saw this story,
Speaker 1: the big old buck, everybody stopp to see and he
Speaker 1: just couldn't take it. So he hopped a fence and
Speaker 1: he greased that thing in the cemetery and drug it
Speaker 1: over to a piece of property. And it's so it
Speaker 1: was so non typical. He entered it in the state's
Speaker 1: big buck contest and people all knew which deer it was.
Speaker 1: That dude isn't hunting again for twenty five years.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: And his fine is like a house illegally harvesting, even
Speaker 1: if you. You can illegally harvest out of season, you
Speaker 1: can do it without a license. You can take it's
Speaker 1: called taking in an improper manner. All of these things
Speaker 1: are criminal offenses, in some rise to the level of felonies.
Speaker 1: And it is a challenge that wildlife officials face, especially
Speaker 1: when people move from some other place, and it can
Speaker 1: be as simple as they move from a different state
Speaker 1: with different laws. One of the challenges, and this is
Speaker 1: not me stereotyping or anything. You can look at the
Speaker 1: statistics and the fact that they have special classes. In Minnesota,
Speaker 1: they put together educational systems for relocated muns people who
Speaker 1: had come from Cambodia or people in that area because
Speaker 1: they were over harvesting fish out of lakes and it
Speaker 1: was they they deemed it a communications problem because they
Speaker 1: were free to do it prior to that in certain circumstances,
Speaker 1: and so they had to build an education system that
Speaker 1: didn't even have a weird religious component or any you know,
Speaker 1: any of it. They were and a lot of them
Speaker 1: were like sheep's head and stuff, which I don't even
Speaker 1: know why they had a limited on that, but they did.
Speaker 1: And so they but they were finding the substantial fines
Speaker 1: to people who could least afford it, and they decided
Speaker 1: where we're going to go and we're going to educate.
Speaker 1: But they don't screw around. So my question is where
Speaker 1: are where is the game wardens here? This isn't just
Speaker 1: a police issue. The police wouldn't even handle it. Where
Speaker 1: are the game wardens for the illegal harvesting of the geese?
Speaker 1: If you admit that, they because like they'll admit it,
Speaker 1: but they'll claim it's something else. That's a thing. You
Speaker 1: don't want to be on the wrong side of game
Speaker 1: and fish man. I've I've watched them nick people out
Speaker 1: in Wyoming. Those dudes will never come back to Wyoming
Speaker 1: to hunt again, and they probably won't be sending one
Speaker 1: of their you know, going on a vacation that year.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a big deal.
Speaker 1: And anyone who has ever hunted, ever held a fishing
Speaker 1: like you know, you know what I'm talking about. So
Speaker 1: I don't understand where is that component because that is
Speaker 1: outside the hands of the Springfield City manager and all
Speaker 1: these folks who are being used as sources, although it's
Speaker 1: mostly that manager, get your get your you got a
Speaker 1: game war in there, your semi rule Ohio, that person
Speaker 1: should be in there, Johnny on the spot doing something
Speaker 1: about this for whatever reason, whether they ate the goose
Speaker 1: or you know, who knows. But to Ross's point, it's
Speaker 1: always the same cats. I don't mean actual cats, I
Speaker 1: mean the same individuals who are incredibly confident community notes.
Speaker 1: I've noticed on every one of these stories is a
Speaker 1: simple one line thing, and it all goes back to
Speaker 1: the city manager saying this has been debunked. There's no
Speaker 1: curiosity and even commenting. They were commenting on pictures and
Speaker 1: audio and all of that of the nine to one
Speaker 1: to one stuff, saying that none of it's true. On
Speaker 1: where the media is included in the tweet, they were
Speaker 1: commenting that it's not true.
Speaker 2: The audacity.
Speaker 1: They don't even go, ah, it's faked, like the night
Speaker 1: will add it's a fake. They don't even take the
Speaker 1: time to address the evidence in front of them.
Speaker 2: They're just like, no, I read this one thing.
Speaker 1: There's one link that is the same link shared over
Speaker 1: and over and it's it's not true.
Speaker 2: Great, we saw this play out before with Hunter Body's
Speaker 2: laptop and with COVID. Yeah, it's just it's the same
Speaker 2: thing happening over and over again. It really is, but
Speaker 2: you're dealing with and then the people who are supposed
Speaker 2: to tell you or help you decide whether it's true
Speaker 2: or not by putting in the work. Because we can't
Speaker 2: all go to this town, and we can't all go
Speaker 2: to Springfield and do Foyer requests and interview local officials
Speaker 2: and all that. Yeah, we got jobs, We've got things
Speaker 2: to do. So you rely on the media to have
Speaker 2: that curiosity to do it, and they're not going to
Speaker 2: do it. Remember, the media are the same people who
Speaker 2: did that. You see the CNN fact check total yesterday
Speaker 2: from the debate. I didn't see it till after the show.
Speaker 2: How many lies do you think they nicked Trump for?
Speaker 2: How many times do they say Trump lied during the
Speaker 2: debate according to the CNN fact check or Dale whatever
Speaker 2: that kid's name is, thirty three times? How many times
Speaker 2: do you think CNN said Kamala lied during the debate
Speaker 2: if Trump was able to get thirty three in and
Speaker 2: politicians and politicians I know the Federalists came out within
Speaker 2: an article saying she lied twenty five times.
Speaker 1: One, she lied once. Yeah, and she didn't lie. It
Speaker 1: was a half truth. So and it wasn't even one
Speaker 1: of the things you're thinking of. It was it was, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what it was. It was the sex changes
Speaker 1: for incarcerated illegal immigrants. That's the one wee We're like, no,
Speaker 1: she did because she she wrote it. She wrote the
Speaker 1: damn thing on a survey.
Speaker 2: She's on video talking about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was her one whoopsie. But then they
Speaker 1: called it a half truth and I don't even understand. Hey,
Speaker 1: you get there, so thirty three to half I'm telling
Speaker 1: you every No, it's easy to be ignorant and confident
Speaker 1: because everyone around you who's supposed to be an authority
Speaker 1: is telling you nah, Now you're fine. No, that's you're
Speaker 1: absolutely one hundred percent accurate because we totally didn't even
Speaker 1: look into it. But we are an authoritative news source,
Speaker 1: so feel free to take that to the bank. All right,
Speaker 1: Well we'll continue down that road and uh much more.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we got to Stephen Ken at eight
Speaker 1: oh five, So we're gonna blow through this Thursday coming
Speaker 1: up here on the CaCO Day radio program. So yesterday, well,
Speaker 1: so Tuesday we had our Triad Bourbon gathering.
Speaker 2: Like I mentioned on the show, that was great.
Speaker 1: Today it is the Triangle's turn, so I'll be hanging
Speaker 1: with a few of you, quite a few of you
Speaker 1: coming up later this evening. We do have some tickets remaining,
Speaker 1: so if you want to get Johnny on the spot,
Speaker 1: you're thinking you were't gonna be able to make it,
Speaker 1: but you can make it today. We'd love to have you.
Speaker 1: Details on Bourbon flight is on there, so you can
Speaker 1: check that out and we'll have we'll have we'll have
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff up there. And thank you in
Speaker 1: this case to our client from Isell Health, Eric Wilson.
Speaker 1: He's actually he's actually going to be up in there,
Speaker 1: and he's the guy. He's the Obama killer dude for
Speaker 1: people have to buy their own health insurance. But we'll
Speaker 1: talk more about that. But last night I had an
Speaker 1: opportunity to work with Doug Ray, who's one of my
Speaker 1: very very long running clients and partners here on the radio.
Speaker 1: And I attend an event that he holds at his
Speaker 1: HQ which is in Clemens, and so a lot of
Speaker 1: his a lot of his existing clients come down there
Speaker 1: and he does educational stuff and experienced stuff and and
Speaker 1: so you know, once a year I'll go and we'll
Speaker 1: do a meet and greet and Q and a and
Speaker 1: all that, and what a perfect day to do it.
Speaker 2: You get right after the debate.
Speaker 1: People want to talk about a lot of stuff, and
Speaker 1: so Doug and I get up on stage and you know,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about the debate and some of the
Speaker 1: other big issues. And now it's time to go to
Speaker 1: the audience. So and it's very loose. I'm just staring. So,
Speaker 1: who's got a question? Raise your hand. It's literally, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's grade school all over again. And the first
Speaker 1: question I get is about Ross.
Speaker 2: If it was the question is Ross real? No, I
Speaker 2: don't know, because you weren't there. I was. I drove
Speaker 2: one hundred.
Speaker 1: Miles to I don't know if that's exact. It probably
Speaker 1: is about one hundred miles. I drove one hundred miles
Speaker 1: to be there.
Speaker 2: Well, a few things. One I've said since nineteen I've
Speaker 2: been a sigh up since nineteen ninety four. I've been
Speaker 2: clear about that, so you can't put that on me.
Speaker 2: But also, I was there in spirit. I was there
Speaker 2: in spirit.
Speaker 1: I meant I just say that to deflect it. And
Speaker 1: then I got the question, which, which, to be honest,
Speaker 1: is better than me being actually there. Well, if you
Speaker 1: are if you're a spirit, yes, because then it would
Speaker 1: it Doug's building would be haunted. The question was what
Speaker 1: do you think it was? Do you think it was
Speaker 1: about Middle East policy and your thoughts on it?
Speaker 2: I think that was probably olive garden related.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Why does Ross know so much about
Speaker 1: wrestling and video games?
Speaker 2: Years of experience.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you got to put in the time, You
Speaker 1: got to put in the work you do, gotta just
Speaker 1: do you have to do? You understand the amount of
Speaker 1: work to sit here and you can't see it, but
Speaker 1: there is a visible moment when I'm talking about something random,
Speaker 1: usually serious, and all of a sudden, Ross kicks into
Speaker 1: third or you know, three or four times his normal speed,
Speaker 1: and he is he's he's grinning, but the maniacal kind, right,
Speaker 1: and he if he goes and he starts monking with
Speaker 1: the one keyboard that's the next gen keyboard and frantically
Speaker 1: moving the mouse and typing, I know that he has
Speaker 1: struck upon one of the thousand cuts in the system
Speaker 1: of stupid wrestling or Joe dirt things or whatever that
Speaker 1: he just has sitting in there for no reason.
Speaker 2: I've told you everything can go back to Seinfelder wrestling everything.
Speaker 1: But it's in a system half the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the moderators they said then the debate the
Speaker 2: other day, they were like they were over selling what
Speaker 2: they were doing, and it was very obvious, like when
Speaker 2: Shawn Michaels took on hul Cogan and it's a famous
Speaker 2: wrestling it's just a famous and wrestling lore where the
Speaker 2: entire match, Hogan would punch on Michaels and he would
Speaker 2: just do backflips out of the ring or he would
Speaker 2: act like it was like Mortal Kombat was over selling
Speaker 2: and it was to prove a point, you know. And
Speaker 2: that's yesterday. With those moderators, it was so obviously what
Speaker 2: they were doing. I felt they were over selling it.
Speaker 1: Okay, but yeah, there's not wrong. Yeah, so why does
Speaker 1: he know so much? I I there, I gave him
Speaker 1: a chance to answer. There you go, because it's his passion,
Speaker 1: which why did you think that was not going to
Speaker 1: be his answer?
Speaker 2: You need an escape from all this crap, like because
Speaker 2: if if you just stare into the abyss that is
Speaker 2: politics twenty four to seven, and there are people that
Speaker 2: do this on social media and I don't know how
Speaker 2: you exist. If you if you stare into that, you
Speaker 2: become the abyss. I can't do it. You need to
Speaker 2: have some sort of escape. And for me it's video
Speaker 2: games and wrestling and the Buffalo Bills and then now
Speaker 2: the gym would do the gym, doing a gym thing,
Speaker 2: but not talking about the Bills this season, So I
Speaker 2: didn't say anything. Ross is wearing his four time world champion.
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna lose. Now we're gonna lose tonight. Oh
Speaker 2: you guys here tonight. That's right, yeah in Miami. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 1: Well I wouldn't speed if you're over there, dude, you
Speaker 1: see Steven A. Smith calling Tyreek killo. That whole thing's
Speaker 1: that whole thing's a mess. And somebody made a very
Speaker 1: good point. If not for what happened to that golfer, you,
Speaker 1: this thing would probably be a lot more insane, right, Well.
Speaker 2: You're saying I was thinking about it this morning at
Speaker 2: the gym. I was talking to one of our listeners
Speaker 2: about it, and and uh, what you're saying, you know,
Speaker 2: he's what if I wasn't Tyreek Hill, I don't know. Well,
Speaker 2: what if you were a rich golfer, you probably Scott Chef?
Speaker 1: What if you're the number one golfer in the world,
Speaker 1: and let's no offense to Scotty. Even though the memes
Speaker 1: with the tear drop things are funny, you're not. Nobody's
Speaker 1: acted definitely trying to uh uh be racist against Scotty show.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? Like, they're not.
Speaker 1: There wasn't even a component that was brought up that
Speaker 1: was all about a policing discussion. If they want to
Speaker 1: have that over the Tyreek kill thing, they're welcome to
Speaker 1: have it. You're welcome to have it. Theres a lot
Speaker 1: of there's a lot of people that think that that officer,
Speaker 1: not that he was wrong to escalate, but he escalated
Speaker 1: too quickly or too much. And if if that's the
Speaker 1: debate people were having, then fine, But it went right
Speaker 1: into thanks to his agent and thanks to you know,
Speaker 1: a bunch of poverty pimps that you know, live that
Speaker 1: only only exists for the purpose of, you know, making
Speaker 1: these stories much bigger than they are, or twisting them
Speaker 1: in a way that doesn't accurately reflect what people even
Speaker 1: think the problem is because that's that's their business, right.
Speaker 1: They're like, they're like a commissioned salesperson. They got to
Speaker 1: have the transaction or they ain't gonna get paid. And
Speaker 1: so if you're going to make the argument that, see,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how you know, how big of an
Speaker 1: important and wealthy and famous, uh, a person of color gets,
Speaker 1: they're still treated like you know they're they're doing stopping
Speaker 1: frists in the in the bad parts.
Speaker 2: Of the bronx or something.
Speaker 1: And the reality is, Scottie Scheffler could have been in
Speaker 1: a whier neighborhood, in a wider situation for all of
Speaker 1: you who want to catalog these things, and yet you
Speaker 1: still saw what happened there and uh, and so being
Speaker 1: able to literally hold up those two examples, I think
Speaker 1: limit some of it, or at least at least forces
Speaker 1: people actually stay in their lane and have the discussion
Speaker 1: they say they want to have, which I'm cool with. Right,
Speaker 1: you have a discussion about whatever you want. Maybe you're wrong, babe,
Speaker 1: you're right, and who knows, maybe that changes something for
Speaker 1: how you think it should be changed. But once you
Speaker 1: immediately go into these clearly clearly hispanic officers, all right,
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: It, dog, How do you know? How do you know?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I have ears? You know, people have
Speaker 2: accents right.
Speaker 1: Clearly Hispanic officers were targeting Tyreek because he was black.
Speaker 1: And once you do that, then you're gonna lose a
Speaker 1: lot of people because they're listening. They're like, I don't
Speaker 1: know that that's the thing. Even people would agree with
Speaker 1: your position on most other things. Sorry, I got a
Speaker 1: little sidetracked there because the whole thing was irritating me.
Speaker 1: So anyway, Yeah, so first questions about you, and I
Speaker 1: don't know, I thought it was an easy answer, but whatever,
Speaker 1: So there you go. Person who asked I don't remember
Speaker 1: the gentleman's name, so who asked the question? You has
Speaker 1: to say there's your answer straight from the the horse's mouth.
Speaker 1: Who may or may not be an AI construct we
Speaker 1: used to fool you six forty four. Hang on all right,
Speaker 1: because my my version of it, when when Ross and
Speaker 1: I do this, I have like a remote secondary version
Speaker 1: of it. It's showing me nothing and it says there's
Speaker 1: no show and no still wait, if it says there's
Speaker 1: no show, we can go home, right if that's what
Speaker 1: it says.
Speaker 2: So I don't know that I can put a call
Speaker 2: on the air right now.
Speaker 1: So just if we'll have to, we'll have to figure
Speaker 1: that out. But that's fine. We'll we'll we'll get to
Speaker 1: that here in just a moment.
Speaker 3: Every free day, every day.
Speaker 1: To be fair, half the days it's something I'm doing,
Speaker 1: but uh not today I think I have everything correct. Hey,
Speaker 1: did you guys see the Joe Biden wearing the Trump
Speaker 1: hat yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: We were talking earlier when we open the show. We
Speaker 1: were discussing the process of scrolling and seeing people who
Speaker 1: snap immediately to decisions, right, and then they will just
Speaker 1: they'll they'll die on that hill Man and so that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden there, there was a screenshot of Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: He's got a Trump twenty twenty four hat on, and
Speaker 1: the very same people who always were right, Now, that's
Speaker 1: a photoshop. That's a photoshop. And I'm like, maybe I
Speaker 1: thought maybe it's a photoshop, but here's the difference. I
Speaker 1: went and I'm like, I'm gonna figure out why it's
Speaker 1: a photoshop if it is, because half the time when
Speaker 1: there is that, there's a.
Speaker 2: Story.
Speaker 1: And also if people are putting that out and presenting
Speaker 1: it as real, I need to know whose accounts to block,
Speaker 1: so I don't because it wastes my time. We were
Speaker 1: talking about this the other day somebody say, oh, you're
Speaker 1: all about censorship. Me blocking people because you're wasting my
Speaker 1: time is not government censorship, you absolute dolt who should
Speaker 1: be blocked. And I'm not the government telling people to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: Really, you know you have the ry to tell, but
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean I have the right to. I'm forced
Speaker 2: to listen to you.
Speaker 1: Yes, and again, if I was just if it was
Speaker 1: just listening, it's one thing. But when I see you
Speaker 1: post something that I go, oh, tell me more, and
Speaker 1: then I go look at it, and consistently I find
Speaker 1: out that it's just it's you who thinks you're funny,
Speaker 1: or you doesn't check stuff. You've wasted my time, and
Speaker 1: my time is valuable.
Speaker 2: You can see whatever you want to say, you can
Speaker 2: scream into the void, but I don't have to listen
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: So the same folks like that it's a photoshop, just
Speaker 1: be done with it, because that's the knee jerk reaction. Now,
Speaker 1: anything you don't like, you just accuse it of being
Speaker 1: fake and then you move on. And I know some
Speaker 1: of you are losing your mind with you. You go, oh,
Speaker 1: it's rich covering from you with Trump with the fake news. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes when he does say it's fake news, it's
Speaker 1: kind of not fake news, but a lot of times
Speaker 1: it is. And that's why I will gladly explain to
Speaker 1: you it's fake news. Kamala Harris only lying once and
Speaker 1: Trump line thirty three times. According to CNN's fact check,
Speaker 1: analysis is indisputably fake news. Indisputably, And they go, well,
Speaker 1: how would you assess that? I would assess that, But
Speaker 1: I could find I can find you three different absolute
Speaker 1: diet in the wool moonbats who acquiesced to two or
Speaker 1: three points, Meaning I could have a panel of people
Speaker 1: who are hard left analysis, people who, if I cobble
Speaker 1: them together, have each pointed out several things because they
Speaker 1: all think they're given one away to look balanced, but
Speaker 1: in reality it tallies far more than one. And now
Speaker 1: we're over here. That is fake news. So the Trump
Speaker 1: pad is not fake news. The context is fascinating, though,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to set it up
Speaker 1: then play it or play it and then do the thing.
Speaker 2: I just dude, watching the video, it's absolutely amazing. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna play the interaction that Trump had with
Speaker 1: this guy right there. They're in like you know, they're
Speaker 1: in a they're in a room with tables and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Everyone's sitting around and and buyer, excuse me by Biden's
Speaker 1: work in the room. I know he's he's worked, he's
Speaker 1: going around, he's he's doing the autograph thing and he's handshaking,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, I did not recognize the dude.
Speaker 1: And frankly, if this is the Biden you had seen
Speaker 1: leading up to all this insanity going into the UH,
Speaker 1: going into the debate and everything else, Donald Trump would
Speaker 1: be in a lot more trouble than people think that
Speaker 1: he is right now against Kamala If this is the
Speaker 1: Joe Biden that was out there now, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: he's given his he's given this dude some business.
Speaker 2: But so is the guy.
Speaker 1: And it's not he's not even doing he's not trying
Speaker 1: to fight him.
Speaker 2: No, it's just it's fun back and forth.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, listen, I'm gonna play its entirety. I
Speaker 1: won't talk over it's a minute. Ten, here we go, presidential.
Speaker 2: Hat rap, oh chill, huh. Yeah, I remember her name.
Speaker 1: I don't remember my name.
Speaker 4: I s.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know man, I'm an old guy.
Speaker 4: I know you wouldn't know about that. What I know?
Speaker 2: All right, I'm a young time man.
Speaker 1: Huh you heard mind of the guys that grew up
Speaker 1: with there was always one in the neighborway.
Speaker 2: There you go, man, you got I need that hat.
Speaker 3: My autograph.
Speaker 4: I don't know, come on, I ain't going that far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously put the hat on at that moment.
Speaker 4: I'm crowd.
Speaker 1: You don't remembering cats? Thank you?
Speaker 4: They're good. You got your dog kick him.
Speaker 2: Hopefully like the pizza. Oh, I mean, like what just happened?
Speaker 2: That dude was like like like jovial fun, you know,
Speaker 2: back and forth banter.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 1: He was connected and ahead of the conversation, which he
Speaker 1: hasn't been in a long time.
Speaker 2: Right, jokingly put a Trump hat on. Right, you took
Speaker 2: a picture, and then he talks about like he don't
Speaker 2: eat cats and dogs. Like there's either two things going on.
Speaker 2: Either a he's feeling a lot more light because he's
Speaker 2: not campaigns and he can be himself, or he really
Speaker 2: hates Kamala Harris. It's one of the two.
Speaker 1: I now my brain went to the first one. I
Speaker 1: went to the first one. But Holt but he was
Speaker 1: actually listening this morning of a tech variety and he
Speaker 1: just sent me this email. So all right, so yeah,
Speaker 1: so we got that thing cooking off in the in
Speaker 1: the background. All right, that did nothing, sir. Okay, unplug
Speaker 1: the whole radio station is what you should do, and
Speaker 1: then leave it out for thirty set.
Speaker 2: What is that with the tech? They're like, you know,
Speaker 2: I plug your motive and.
Speaker 1: Make sure it stays unplugged for thirty seconds, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, I think that's BS.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's real.
Speaker 1: I know it probably is, but whatever, speaking of people
Speaker 1: call him BS, I expected this email. So we just
Speaker 1: played that Joe Biden audio or the context I guess,
Speaker 1: however you want to describe it, of the of the
Speaker 1: you know, where he's wearing the hat and he is
Speaker 1: interacting with this dude, the dude, and the dude is
Speaker 1: clearly not a Biden voter, and he is he is
Speaker 1: probably he's excited at the at this at the proximity
Speaker 1: that he has here, so he can make some wise cracks.
Speaker 1: And again it's the exchange which is quick and sounds coherent,
Speaker 1: which is so outside of the outside of what we
Speaker 1: have all seen for quite some time. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's the reduction of stress, because I always
Speaker 1: got to do is go sit on a beach. Right now,
Speaker 1: I'm not justifying it. I'm trying just trying to understand
Speaker 1: how you get that. The reason I said that would
Speaker 1: have been dangerous for Trump for those you mad about that,
Speaker 1: is because all the media needed is like one or
Speaker 1: two clips a week of him looking coherent. You realize that,
Speaker 1: right there could be he could have twenty events, twenty
Speaker 1: different opportunities to film him speaking, dodging, question taking questions,
Speaker 1: interacting with people, and if two of them looked reasonably coherent,
Speaker 1: they could then core focus on that video by saying
Speaker 1: the president had a slate of events this weekend, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. He was here, then over here, and then
Speaker 1: over here, and then they're just like, and here he
Speaker 1: is when he happened to be in Pennsylvania, and then
Speaker 1: they play a clip where he's you know, he's Joe
Speaker 1: Biden from fifteen years ago, and then they could ignore
Speaker 1: the rest of it. It was so bad they couldn't
Speaker 1: get one of those. They couldn't they could without the
Speaker 1: use of AI, they couldn't have put one of those together.
Speaker 1: And then the you know, the cherry on the top
Speaker 1: was obviously the debate. But whatever that was, that's what
Speaker 1: was something different. But the email I expected is guy's
Speaker 1: clearly an actor. Go watch the video. If that dude's
Speaker 1: an actor, that is the most convincing portrayal of a
Speaker 1: fifty something year old, curmudgeonly dude who's you know, who's
Speaker 1: who's blue collar, labored all of his life and probably
Speaker 1: has a seat with a little brass black with his
Speaker 1: name in it at the old local dive bar watering
Speaker 1: hole where he goes with his buddies. That's Americana man,
Speaker 1: that's it. And he's got opinions and he's clearly he
Speaker 1: clearly is not timid about them. And if that's an actor,
Speaker 1: that is one of the greatest actors of our generation.
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, it's not just it's we've
Speaker 1: got to this point where anything we don't like that's
Speaker 1: one of the other deflection. That's clearly an actor. It's
Speaker 1: clearly fake. And it's easy to be cynical like that
Speaker 1: because a lot of stuff right now is fake and
Speaker 1: it looks real. But sometimes you got to you gotta
Speaker 1: go Awkham's razor on this stuff and just figure out okay, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's over at this thing and the guys,
Speaker 1: excuse me, Aukham's razor ramone. Let me just let me
Speaker 1: just head that off at the pass. So but once
Speaker 1: you do that, you realize that it was just it
Speaker 1: was a moment of coherence, which is why it stands
Speaker 1: out because it's not I mean, it's funny, I guess,
Speaker 1: and he is wearing the hat. So yeah, it wasn't
Speaker 1: like it wasn't gonna be in the news cycle. But
Speaker 1: the shot, the story is, holy crap, how.
Speaker 2: Did that happen?
Speaker 1: Which isn't a positive for Piden, by the way, It's
Speaker 1: not a positive if you're if people think you are
Speaker 1: so incoherent and insane that when you have an exchange
Speaker 1: that is a normal exchange. I mean abnormal in the
Speaker 1: sense that one of them's president. But but you know,
Speaker 1: guys talking trash to each other. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: talk trash to my buddies this weekend with football's coming up.
Speaker 1: I have pre prepared trash. I'm excited about. You know
Speaker 1: how many how many you think us up during the
Speaker 1: week and you just can't wait to you know, bust
Speaker 1: your the guy. You know your buddy golf with stones
Speaker 1: over something of the Joe Buck story, the Joe Buck Store.
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that because I got a buddy
Speaker 1: who hit his no, I think it was uh they
Speaker 1: were fiance. It was his fiance at the time with
Speaker 1: a golf ball. If you don't know the Joe Buck story,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that here and in just a little bit,
Speaker 1: I'm going to rebust his chops when I see him on.
Speaker 2: Friday, Yes, sir, mess the fuck with that.
Speaker 1: Joe Buck, the sports broadcaster, was out playing golf and
Speaker 1: he drove the ball into his wife's ankle and she
Speaker 1: had busted it, and so they should to go to
Speaker 1: the hospital and they had to like rebuild her ankle
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And they got a picture of her like
Speaker 1: lying and she's in the hospital bed. She got thumbs up.
Speaker 1: Try to put on a brave face. But this dude,
Speaker 1: this dude, h Snap, you know, Snap, hooked a golf
Speaker 1: ball into his wife's ankle and busted it, which we
Speaker 1: can talk about. I know everybody here knows exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: Everybody here knows exactly what happened. So why you don't
Speaker 1: do it? I don't know if buckets blue white. What
Speaker 1: his te selection is, I don't know. His handicap doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: but the red teas are forward.
Speaker 2: And I've seen this. I've seen this scenario.
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time on golf courses, and
Speaker 1: I'll never understand it why somebody who is on a
Speaker 1: forward tea box will wait on their tea box. I
Speaker 1: don't I was gonna say, I don't care if Tiger
Speaker 1: Woods is doing it, but I've I've stood.
Speaker 2: At PGA events on the on on a tunnel.
Speaker 1: You ever seen where there's like a golf ball in
Speaker 1: the trees and they're hitting through a tunnel of people.
Speaker 1: As as a poor golfer myself, every thought in my
Speaker 1: mind is I would murder all of you. But for
Speaker 1: most of us, the one thing you don't want is
Speaker 1: somebody up ahead of you. I have.
Speaker 2: There's there's a guy golf with.
Speaker 1: We were we were where were we we were? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we were down playing down by uh uh Manio and
Speaker 1: him and I are in the cart and he pulls
Speaker 1: slightly ahead of the tea box because he hits, he
Speaker 1: hits closer T's and me he's uh, he's quite a
Speaker 1: bit older and and and I put the golf ball
Speaker 1: through the cart. Yeah, through, So he's sitting there. Imagine
Speaker 1: you're sitting in a golf cart. You know, you have
Speaker 1: that open space in front of your face. My golf
Speaker 1: ball went through that. It was very quiet for the
Speaker 1: next few holes. Because yes, I'm a jerk. I should
Speaker 1: get better at that. I have a little bit, but
Speaker 1: I should get better. But every now and then things
Speaker 1: go crazy. Also, don't pull ahead of the guy hitting
Speaker 1: the drive. However, in this case, I feel like Joe
Speaker 1: Buck would take his life in his own hands.
Speaker 2: Bringing that point up and and that story.
Speaker 1: That story will be revisited. We could agree on this.
Speaker 1: That's it will be revisited. It will be revisited at times.
Speaker 1: Joe Buck probably doesn't want it revisited.
Speaker 2: Forever.
Speaker 1: Sh'll probably have it chiseled into his headstone. So yeah,
Speaker 1: based on that, I'm looking for because that's how dudes
Speaker 1: talk to each other.
Speaker 2: I reference this movie a lot.
Speaker 1: It's that scene from Grand to Reno he takes where
Speaker 1: he takes the he takes the kid the his neighbor.
Speaker 2: A toad, that's what it was. He calls him toad.
Speaker 1: He takes him to that barbershop, right, and he's like,
Speaker 1: this is how men talk to each other. He's trying
Speaker 1: to train him. It's a very funny scene. I can
Speaker 1: almost repeat none of it on the air. But it
Speaker 1: has to do with the guys at his construction job
Speaker 1: and making him sore. But the the exchange because it's
Speaker 1: so mirrored what people experience that when they're just out
Speaker 1: there being normal dudes. And I know I can't speak
Speaker 1: to your late ladies the version that you have, although
Speaker 1: some women are basically men in this sense, which I
Speaker 1: think is funny.
Speaker 2: That's just it.
Speaker 1: And so when you see that, you see this thing
Speaker 1: that is recognizable, that from a person that you haven't
Speaker 1: recognized it in years from That's why that stands out.
Speaker 1: But if you want to think it's an actor, go
Speaker 1: ahead and do your thing. I can't stop you. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's get over to this because you can't take a
Speaker 1: phone call whatever you know? Where is at nine mice
Speaker 1: and two of them with backward backward buttons, which you
Speaker 1: won't even get into. All right, So we're talking about animals.
Speaker 1: I have an animal story coming up for you that
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to get into. And I don't know, frankly,
Speaker 1: maybe this is the answer there in Ohio. You have
Speaker 1: to do it's you don't like to import species from elsewhere, right,
Speaker 1: that turns into a problem. There's a lot of famous
Speaker 1: examples here in the United States where we brought in
Speaker 1: one critter. A lot of times we bring in one
Speaker 1: critter to deal with the other critters, and before you
Speaker 1: know it, there's a thousand lady bugs. Okay, then we
Speaker 1: got to get some neat the ladybugs or earthworms. Most
Speaker 1: the earthworms that you buy if you ever go like
Speaker 1: a fishing shop, and the ones that you dig up
Speaker 1: in a lot of parts of the country are a
Speaker 1: non native species to the United States. They just got
Speaker 1: brought here and it works for plants and animals. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you're all aware of kudzu. Yeah, thank you, World's
Speaker 1: Fair and some guy have figured out how to get
Speaker 1: really rich out of Virginia. Pushing that stuff is erosion
Speaker 1: control all across North Carolina. So now one of the
Speaker 1: worst infestations of the world is here. That stuffs from China.
Speaker 1: China and Japan they have kutzu. But yeah, how about otters?
Speaker 1: Though I am now terrified. A woman a woman has
Speaker 1: been left bloody, dazed, in crying after getting attacked and
Speaker 1: mauled by a gang of otters. Do they have like
Speaker 1: matching tattoos? Do otters have a hand signal?
Speaker 2: Now the animals are starting to fight back, so they got.
Speaker 1: Wind of what was going on, and wait, what are
Speaker 1: you doing over by our pond?
Speaker 2: What's up with that? They have Internet, they've seen the memes.
Speaker 1: They're like, not me, you think a bunch of water
Speaker 1: weasels are so around watching watching Fox or something.
Speaker 2: I watched the debate?
Speaker 3: What was that?
Speaker 2: I did see that funny meme?
Speaker 1: And of course the joyless, soulless, humorless people of uh
Speaker 1: that are on Twitter, they just can't It was that
Speaker 1: meme of that dog who stared at the TV and
Speaker 1: see something horrific and it hides behind the couch and
Speaker 1: the original video is Darth Vader. This woman's filming or
Speaker 1: it looks like a golden lab or whatever is filming
Speaker 1: or lab have a horrified reaction to Vader showing up
Speaker 1: on the screen. And it's been around forever, but it's
Speaker 1: the video allows you like that big TV screen in
Speaker 1: the bar where everyone cheers, where they just overlay whatever
Speaker 1: video they want. So they overlaid Trump talking about cats
Speaker 1: and dogs yesterday, and I saw people trying to like
Speaker 1: report it and get it flagged and all this stuff
Speaker 1: because nobody's got a good sense of humor. That being said,
Speaker 1: it may have influenced the auto. That's a fair point.
Speaker 1: The victim had reportedly been jogging. This is in a park, geese,
Speaker 1: We're in a park when she was beset upon who's
Speaker 1: writing this? Beset upon by eight of the beasts. Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard anyone refer to an otter as a beast?
Speaker 2: Ross?
Speaker 1: Does that qualify under the fantastic beasts? And where to
Speaker 1: find something with your old Harry Potter stuff they have.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they do have a magical otter of some
Speaker 2: sort yet.
Speaker 1: An oscelet maybe, or a weasel or something in the family.
Speaker 2: At the very least.
Speaker 1: The woman, and you can see in the videos wearing
Speaker 1: dark pink running tights and a black shirt, is pictured
Speaker 1: sitting on the curb in tears, blood visibly covering all
Speaker 1: of her arms, head, and you can actually see giant
Speaker 1: gouges on her leg. The victim transported to a hospital
Speaker 1: while wildlife team dispatched the park to quote keep tabs
Speaker 1: on the otters. Wait now, what do you mean capture
Speaker 1: or you mean keep tabs?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 1: What does that look like? Do you now get the
Speaker 1: vice cops down They're like, Oh, we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: pull you off strip club duties. You can come down
Speaker 1: to the park and monitor the otters. Investigators found that
Speaker 1: the beasts they now called them a beast again, reportedly
Speaker 1: live nearby.
Speaker 2: Who is writing this? Are you? Wait? Are you telling me?
Speaker 2: Are you telling me? Ross? I have to sit down.
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I'm saying are.
Speaker 1: You telling me that the otters may live in the
Speaker 1: pond near the park. This has to be an AI
Speaker 1: written article, right, one hundred percent. There's no way it's not.
Speaker 1: Or you have the worst theorizing law enforce versus a
Speaker 1: wildlife department of folks on the planet. He explained the
Speaker 1: otters had visited the part. Oh what's this guy's name?
Speaker 2: Roland Nwin? Who's the wildlife department? Directly?
Speaker 1: He says the otters had visited the park before without incident,
Speaker 1: and the attack was likely due to a change in behavior.
Speaker 1: You know what, Ross, you might be right that change
Speaker 1: of behavior right at the exact time they're snatching up
Speaker 1: geese or whatever.
Speaker 2: Oh may you gotta what all right?
Speaker 1: So occasion needs something else to worry about today, be
Speaker 1: on the lookout for rogue, beastly otters. What would what
Speaker 1: would be worse getting killed by an otter group, a
Speaker 1: pack of otters or a pack of docsins because that
Speaker 1: was his story not long ago. Anyway, think about it.
Speaker 1: We'll be back if you find yourself mauled by otters,
Speaker 1: which according to like people, well people are now posting
Speaker 1: links to other otter attacks.
Speaker 2: Dude, what's up with the otters? What's less? It's less time?
Speaker 1: Do you even saw an otter let alone screwed with
Speaker 1: the dang thing? So I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: But here's the deal. You get wrecked by otters, you lie.
Speaker 1: I know you shouldn't lie. Maybe don't lie to the police,
Speaker 1: but light to everybody else. If if, if you get
Speaker 1: damn near murdered by an order, go with bigfoot or
Speaker 1: or a bear or something. And I understand, if you
Speaker 1: go with the bear, they're gonna find a bear. They
Speaker 1: might grease the bear. But I don't necessarily want that
Speaker 1: unless it's bear hunting season.
Speaker 2: But you know, you can't walk.
Speaker 1: You can't be the otter guy. If I told you
Speaker 1: that I've got no letting. No, let's not put this
Speaker 1: on me, because then it'll start some stupid meme that
Speaker 1: will follow me around forever. Let's say Ross walking into
Speaker 1: the building tomorrow morning, it's attacked by a gang of rogues.
Speaker 2: Square worlds.
Speaker 1: Okay, they they were maybe maybe they got beef because
Speaker 1: they used to work for his messenger company with the
Speaker 1: squirrels with the post it notes, and now they got nothing.
Speaker 2: They're out of work. They're like the Isis terrorists if.
Speaker 1: They only had a job, right, And they gang up
Speaker 1: like the like the critter ball from that movie, and
Speaker 1: they go after Ross and he he could walk into
Speaker 1: the studio.
Speaker 2: He's all sliced up, like, what what happened?
Speaker 1: Lie?
Speaker 2: Lie?
Speaker 1: Some lions escape one of these big animal closures. They were,
Speaker 1: they were downstairs. I fought them off with my bare hands.
Speaker 1: You don't tell people you got wrecked by otters, No,
Speaker 1: and don't could be wrong. Otters got some slicing ice
Speaker 1: on them. Otters got big old teeth they got they'll
Speaker 1: scratch you up the nasty if they want to be,
Speaker 1: But for the most part they don't want to be.
Speaker 1: They don't want to be around you. Although the California
Speaker 1: sea otters do. That was always a weird thing for
Speaker 1: me because here's what I learned as kid, that even
Speaker 1: if there's a small mammal, don't screw with it. We
Speaker 1: got blackfooted ferrets out in Wyoming. I know the animal
Speaker 1: rights people know it because they try to get prairie
Speaker 1: dog hunting shut down every year I was alive living there.
Speaker 1: Those are much those are much smaller. I've seen an
Speaker 1: aggressive one of those. I could totally take it, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but I you know, still give it
Speaker 1: a wide berth. These otters are ganging up at attacking
Speaker 1: joggers man, and then with what they're reading on the news,
Speaker 1: that's probably you know, this is not a good time,
Speaker 1: not a good time to be around the the animals.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying, all right, eight eight eight nine
Speaker 1: three four seven eight seven four. So the numbers are out.
Speaker 1: With the re repositioning of the DEI staff at UNC, and.
Speaker 2: These numbers are these they feel good.
Speaker 1: According to the UNC system and their final audit of
Speaker 1: or audit and repositioning of resources surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion.
Speaker 1: Following the direction from state lawmakers, they have Realigned one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two positions eliminated fifty nine positions, And
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, like, Casey, why are you happy?
Speaker 1: Fifty nine people lost their job? Fifty nine people lost
Speaker 1: a job, sowing hatred between people and division. Maybe not hatred,
Speaker 1: because I believe there's probably some people who think they're
Speaker 1: doing good, but whether they know it or not, they
Speaker 1: are sowing division more so than they were helping, in
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, So do something else, right, I would
Speaker 1: prefer that those who are using the term equity and
Speaker 1: all white people are racist, not not be a job description.
Speaker 1: I want you to be the I want you to
Speaker 1: be the buggy whip company or something. Right, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. There's no use for you anymore. Now,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. This is different from HR and
Speaker 1: this is different from also protecting because you are a
Speaker 1: public institution people's constitutional rights. One one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: two realigned positions fifty nine eliminated and a total thus
Speaker 1: far of seventeen million dollars in savings, and there's more.
Speaker 1: There is obviously more that could probably be cut, but
Speaker 1: that's a good start.
Speaker 2: So what do you do? With the money. I have
Speaker 2: an idea. Hear me out.
Speaker 1: A seventeen million dollars statue right where Silent Sam used
Speaker 1: to beat. And I'm not saying put a Silent Sam
Speaker 1: one up there. I want to be very clear. I
Speaker 1: think you go super generic. This is a statue in
Speaker 1: commemoration of all UNC alumni and or students who have
Speaker 1: served and died in military conflicts within the United States
Speaker 1: or for the United States. So you can and it'll
Speaker 1: include everyone in can and for those of you go
Speaker 1: and within that dose account. And then you need to
Speaker 1: see how Congress decided that they were going to treat
Speaker 1: Civil War veterans on both sides for the purpose of
Speaker 1: reuniting the country.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I read some history, but again you're not doing that.
Speaker 1: You're just putting up this statue and you're just like,
Speaker 1: this is just to represent folks who were both UNC
Speaker 1: alumni and soldiers.
Speaker 2: That's it, and just very generic. Put it up there.
Speaker 1: And and now you go, well, why's got to be
Speaker 1: seventeen million. One, I didn't say it was going to
Speaker 1: be small. And two for the movie tra apps, not
Speaker 1: deadly ones or even harmful ones, but funny ones. I
Speaker 1: want this thing that if you start rocking it skunk spray,
Speaker 1: you start trying to whack its head off, which is
Speaker 1: gonna be at least I want it to be able
Speaker 1: to tower over that any it has to be taller
Speaker 1: than the than the chapel spire at Duke because right,
Speaker 1: that's you know, I got that contest going.
Speaker 2: Just gold plated, covered with diamonds, and it talks laser eyes.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yes, I want this thing to
Speaker 1: look like they hacked through the jungles of Guatemala and
Speaker 1: found you know, oh, it's the Lost City of whatever,
Speaker 1: and this is the thing at the center or over
Speaker 1: where was it Thailand? Where it was a Thailand where
Speaker 1: they found that whole city in the middle of the jungle.
Speaker 1: The Dame Escape very famous, right yeah, And the ross
Speaker 1: wants to go blingy. We can go blingy because remember
Speaker 1: you're going somebody's gonna steal the blink No oh, booby
Speaker 1: traps just talked about this. How about one of those
Speaker 1: sticky nets, right the thing where it like it shoots,
Speaker 1: it shoots out, then it like sticks.
Speaker 2: To the wall. You're not hurt, but you ain't going nowhere.
Speaker 1: Next day they're like, why are you in the sticky
Speaker 1: net were you were you up to something because you're
Speaker 1: dressed all in black, you got a face mask on.
Speaker 2: What's going on? Yes, it's our seventeen million.
Speaker 1: We and and what a great thing too for the
Speaker 1: engineering students, the stem fields can put this together to
Speaker 1: combat their humanity's counterparts. Day you got a little campus
Speaker 1: rivalry going on, updated on the regular with the newest
Speaker 1: and latest and greatest non lethal, non harmful booby traps.
Speaker 2: That just amuse me.
Speaker 1: It's like I loved it when the University of Minnesota
Speaker 1: UH planted all those little pine trees around the campus
Speaker 1: one year and then like a Christmas rolled around and
Speaker 1: like half of them got cut down. And what was
Speaker 1: happening as students were literally in the middle of the
Speaker 1: night after a few I'm sure, pulling the trees out
Speaker 1: of the ground or cutting them down and then taking
Speaker 1: them into say Christmas trees and their dorms.
Speaker 2: Do you know how they combated that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you know this, it's pretty cold in Minnesota around
Speaker 1: Christmas time. So they sprayed all of the trees, the
Speaker 1: remaining and then the replacement trees. With the spray, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know it's on there until you get it into
Speaker 1: a warmer temperature. So if you've told one of those
Speaker 1: trees from the quad or whatever, look fine, you get
Speaker 1: into your dorm room, and as soon as it hits
Speaker 1: room temperature, it say, it's like a skunk sprayed a
Speaker 1: dead skunk.
Speaker 2: For stinking too much.
Speaker 1: It was awful, and in fact it by fired a
Speaker 1: little because then what was happening is they would they
Speaker 1: would taking them out, but some of them just kind
Speaker 1: of like stuffed them in a somebody stuffed them in
Speaker 1: like a trash choot and it like permeated the whole
Speaker 1: part of the one dorm.
Speaker 2: But you know what, did you know?
Speaker 1: It didn't happen anymore. Nobody stole the trees, went seventeen
Speaker 1: mil to work with. Let's do this thing, all right,
Speaker 1: seven forty four. We're not building another boon big beer
Speaker 1: on the camp. You can't have a beer on the
Speaker 1: campus of a university. I mean you can physically have one,
Speaker 1: but you can't have a giant No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: People send me crazy emails, sir, stop doing drugs, all right?
Speaker 1: Seven forty five. Raced Agic would never do drugs. He's
Speaker 1: high on naming hurricanes and stuff.
Speaker 4: So that's how they get their's life and hurricanes, Yeah,
Speaker 4: all those things. Yes, Hurricane category two when Francine came
Speaker 4: on shore yesterday afternoon about five pm Central time on
Speaker 4: the Louisiana coast, a one hundred mile per hour storm
Speaker 4: now slowing down and bringing a heavy rain threat Mississippi.
Speaker 4: Not a threat's reality around around Jackson, Mississippi right now,
Speaker 4: very heavy rainfall northern parts of the state up near Memphis,
Speaker 4: some heavy rain, severe weather in the Panhandle, and widespread
Speaker 4: rain to the west southwest of US, but staying there
Speaker 4: for the most part over the next few days. Today cloudy,
Speaker 4: departly sunny, and dry. Temperatures upper seventies, low eighties. Tomorrow,
Speaker 4: maybe some spotty showers and a few showers possible into
Speaker 4: the weekend, I guess, and I might be wrong about
Speaker 4: this casey, but I don't know if people really care
Speaker 4: about the wise. But there's the potential for low pressure
Speaker 4: to develop also off the coast to our east, and
Speaker 4: the Hurricane Center slaps a thirty percent chance on that
Speaker 4: developing late in the weekend or early next week, So
Speaker 4: we'll have to see what happens with that. But the
Speaker 4: combination of the precipt down to our southwest, and that
Speaker 4: low potentially developing is going to leave a chance of
Speaker 4: showers and thunderstorms over the weekend and in through Wednesday
Speaker 4: of next week. In the forecast now, the chances are low.
Speaker 4: They're about thirty to forty percent each day, so not
Speaker 4: widespread coverage, but still some rounds of showers thundershower will
Speaker 4: be around. Now depends on how strong that load gets.
Speaker 4: If it does develop it something bigger, No, could bring
Speaker 4: some heavy rain into parts of the Carolina, So something
Speaker 4: about keep an eye up. Probably have a lot more
Speaker 4: on it tomorrow as right now, you do stay dry
Speaker 4: today and even tomorrow it won't be much rain around.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for your buzz saw coming up Sunday?
Speaker 2: Saturday? Yeah, Saturday, you don't.
Speaker 1: Have anything because Clemson's a coward, but right, yeah, and
Speaker 1: then they play State the week after and that's just
Speaker 1: gonna be a nightmare for me having you on the air.
Speaker 1: But well, yeah, but no Sunday, man, I mean you
Speaker 1: got to take on a team that just beat its
Speaker 1: last opponent by thirty seven points.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but forty seven and yeah, really talking about now,
Speaker 4: the Panthers are probably some of the Giants for maybe
Speaker 4: the worst team in the NFL. So we'll see there.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that much, hope. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing too, if you're going to be bad,
Speaker 1: that's how bad you want to be.
Speaker 2: So you get to pick.
Speaker 1: But also you got to make the right picks. Because
Speaker 1: they didn't get the pick. They traded for the pick,
Speaker 1: and then they use the pick, and I don't know
Speaker 1: that people think the pick's working out, and I hope
Speaker 1: I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: I wish I will too.
Speaker 4: I would would say it's still early, but the time
Speaker 4: is ticking, and yeah it probably he's probably got a
Speaker 4: short leash.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Well anyway, so yeah, you guys played
Speaker 1: the Saints. So we'll get into more of that tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but for now, yeah, I'll let you go back to
Speaker 1: staring at your doppler or whatever you're doing.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. Coming up on the show is Lord
Speaker 2: of the Rings.
Speaker 3: Gay.
Speaker 1: I'm not the one asking the question, and I'm simply
Speaker 1: responding to lunatics on social media.
Speaker 2: We got to talk Indiana Jones.
Speaker 1: We got to get into you just a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of nerd stuff, and we'll do that coming up at
Speaker 1: eight oh five with Stephen Kent.
Speaker 2: So I do stick around for that, and we got
Speaker 2: a little.
Speaker 1: Something from the folks over at the US Postal Service,
Speaker 1: and we got to North Carolina connection here that I
Speaker 1: think people need to remember. Plus what's the NC legislature
Speaker 1: up to. We'll try to get to all of it
Speaker 1: fit in coming up here on the Cacoday Radio program.
Speaker 2: Oh look at this. None of us get to go
Speaker 2: to space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if the billionaires don't go, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: if the companies that are going to actually privatize this
Speaker 1: don't have this growing this, you know, this initial phase
Speaker 1: of it, then you don't get to the other part
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: This is like many technologies and many advancements out there,
Speaker 1: has to go through the process where it becomes safer,
Speaker 1: more normalized. And it is through that way and through
Speaker 1: that streamlining that eventually you get yourself to maybe you
Speaker 1: someday getting to go up into space and do a
Speaker 1: little spacewalk, because.
Speaker 2: That's how it works.
Speaker 1: That's how it has worked for just about every big
Speaker 1: advancement out there. Right, Normal people didn't used to fly,
Speaker 1: then they did. Normal people didn't used to be able
Speaker 1: to afford a car, but then they did, or they
Speaker 1: could I guess I should say right.
Speaker 2: And it was through.
Speaker 1: Many, many, many years of development adaption by people who
Speaker 1: could afford because of almost the individual printing of these
Speaker 1: items or manufacturing of these items, that eventually the demand
Speaker 1: created a system where they could create it like an
Speaker 1: assembly line with Henry Ford, and they could create low
Speaker 1: cost carriers. So you could get on a Spirit airline
Speaker 1: one day and hear people screaming for no reason and
Speaker 1: watch some lunatic pulled off of their while your plane's
Speaker 1: delayed for two hours, but at least you got video footage.
Speaker 1: None of these achievements in human history would be possible
Speaker 1: without rich guys getting to do it first, as much
Speaker 1: as you don't want to hear that. And for those
Speaker 1: of you going, well, you know space where you have
Speaker 1: the government that develop it through NASA, which is a
Speaker 1: non military governmentor I understand all that, and everything has
Speaker 1: a bit of uniqueness to it, and a lot of
Speaker 1: the technology that you see integrated into everything that you
Speaker 1: do is part and parcel of the government. The biggest
Speaker 1: example out there, hands down is the GPS navigation, which,
Speaker 1: remember was such a military tool that when GPS first started,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you all remember the very first
Speaker 1: garments that came out. They had a pretty significant air
Speaker 1: I don't want say air range, but they had a
Speaker 1: significant footprint for where they would actually lock on. We
Speaker 1: literally didn't make it legal for them to be as
Speaker 1: precise as they are now, so that you like find
Speaker 1: my iPhone isn't necessarily a thing, and I know it's
Speaker 1: obviously different technology, but is a thing that is also
Speaker 1: an extension that is born from this. We chat with
Speaker 1: Steven Ken, tour official NERD correspondent. All right, so I'm
Speaker 1: getting the echo.
Speaker 3: Ross.
Speaker 2: Are you hearing the echo?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: All right, so that is fantastic. Talk to me, Steven,
Speaker 2: and maybe the echo will stop.
Speaker 3: Oh see, good morning, good morning to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that I kind of did it, so all right, No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on hold.
Speaker 3: Hang on, what is? What is?
Speaker 2: Why is the universe conspiring against me? Well, then I'm
Speaker 2: getting the echo there.
Speaker 1: Whatever, let's just go ahead and do this, all right, Steven.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have one one headphone on the side
Speaker 1: of the year. I think we would be remiss if
Speaker 1: at every at one at one point each and every
Speaker 1: time we have you on Star Wars wasn't mentioned, so
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and get that out of
Speaker 1: the way. But also because I think that this is
Speaker 1: one of the more interesting stories because it speaks to
Speaker 1: what I think is going to be an absolute train
Speaker 1: wreck that is a three pronged train wreck in the
Speaker 1: world of Hollywood that the current Hollywood folks are trying
Speaker 1: to fight off.
Speaker 2: And I wonder if they're not the modern day version of.
Speaker 1: People who were like, I don't need an automobile, My
Speaker 1: horse is fine, and they're just not going to be
Speaker 1: able to get with the program. And that is AI,
Speaker 1: utilization of AI for writing, utilization of digital effects, for
Speaker 1: including people who are no longer with us in acting roles.
Speaker 1: Who knows how far that will go, And of course
Speaker 1: the ability and the changing landscape of and this is
Speaker 1: something that's been going on of the type of entertainment
Speaker 1: that people actually want, which necessarily has created this situation
Speaker 1: where there are no more Hollywood movie stars.
Speaker 2: You know, that's the big discussion.
Speaker 1: So the Star Wars thing has well, right now, it's
Speaker 1: got a little bit of the second, but over the
Speaker 1: years it's it's had a little bit of all of it.
Speaker 1: What is the latest problem that we're now running into
Speaker 1: explain it to us like we're like, we're five.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 5: Well, the latest problem is that last week Disney lucasfilm
Speaker 5: has received a lawsuit from one Kevin Francis, a friend
Speaker 5: of the Cushing family. Peter Cushing is the man who
Speaker 5: played Grandmath Tarkin in the original Star Wars nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 5: You know, the bad guy who works with Darth Vader
Speaker 5: aboard the Death Star. He really was only in that
Speaker 5: one movie, but was instantly iconic, and I think before
Speaker 5: then he was famous for vampire films and a couple
Speaker 5: of other things. But so after he died in nineteen
Speaker 5: ninety four, Cushing was gone and Star Wars was back
Speaker 5: on the rise. In Rogue one, a Star Wars story
Speaker 5: twenty and sixteen twenty seventeen, Peter Cushing was brought back
Speaker 5: from the dead using CGI and his likeness and an
Speaker 5: actor who they grafted Peter Cushing's face over using special effects.
Speaker 5: And they are now being sued for the likeness by
Speaker 5: not a family member of Cushing but a family friend,
Speaker 5: which I find to be incredibly strange. They are going
Speaker 5: to be going to court over it. There was an
Speaker 5: appeal made by Disney and a judge in the UK
Speaker 5: has said that it needs to go to court so
Speaker 5: it can be settled.
Speaker 1: Okay, And each of these things is as each of
Speaker 1: these court cases get adjudicated, you're creating. You're creating a
Speaker 1: legal record in a legal pathway right for a new thing.
Speaker 1: It's like when the Internet first came on, when they
Speaker 1: talked about it being lawless, it wasn't that it was lawless.
Speaker 1: It was that we didn't know how to apply the
Speaker 1: law to things. That's right, and it permeates a lot,
Speaker 1: like you know, searches had to be updated the way
Speaker 1: the law enforcement does searches for what is playing sight
Speaker 1: as it pertains to digital right and and and what
Speaker 1: can you do? So where do you think can I
Speaker 1: This is a big prediction. Where do you think this
Speaker 1: ends up? If not, because I happen to work in
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry, them just jamming this stuff or attempting
Speaker 1: to into contracts. And keep in mind, you're not going
Speaker 1: to get Harrison Ford's not going to sign a contract
Speaker 1: like that, and Brad Pitt's not going to sign a
Speaker 1: contract like that. But if you're a young hungry actor
Speaker 1: and you're like, hey, man, if this means I get
Speaker 1: my big break, I will sign these rights away. Big
Speaker 1: production studios are going to be more than willing to.
Speaker 1: They're going to be putting this stuff into contracts. And
Speaker 1: an up and coming actor who may one day be
Speaker 1: the next Brad Pitt may have signed something on his
Speaker 1: way up. He may you know, it may be like
Speaker 1: the the the Sylvester Stallone porn movie, right yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it just follows you around.
Speaker 5: Now, I know, I know at this point Hepburn has
Speaker 5: been recaptured.
Speaker 3: Digitally for a commercial.
Speaker 5: You have had Christopher Reeves brought back for a crappy
Speaker 5: TV show for The Flash, Paul Walker, Fast and the
Speaker 5: Furious has been brought back, and Carrie Fisher also in
Speaker 5: Star Wars, Princess Leah was brought back for the Abomination
Speaker 5: that has the Rise of Skywalker episode nine. So you
Speaker 5: do have a possible future in which certain actors die
Speaker 5: and they are never truly let go. You don't have
Speaker 5: people step into their shoes and fulfill their role as actors.
Speaker 5: They can just keep bringing them back, and in terms
Speaker 5: of contracts, it's pretty scary stuff.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: We covered the story a few weeks ago about Disney.
Speaker 5: You know, not allowing someone to sue for damages after
Speaker 5: death in the park because they said that they were
Speaker 5: a member of Disney Plus and therefore signed away certain rights.
Speaker 5: You know, Disney is arguing that Cushing signed away his
Speaker 5: likeness in their contract with him in nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 5: But I imagine Cushing thought it was going to be
Speaker 5: his face on T shirts and on cups and on
Speaker 5: pillows and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Re issuing the movie, you know, putting out an updated
Speaker 1: you know they have done with Star Wars obviously, right, exactly.
Speaker 5: No one thinks that Peter Cushing imagined that they'd be
Speaker 5: able to keep him alive and make movies with his
Speaker 5: face in twenty twenty four onward. But the thing that
Speaker 5: I take exception with in this lawsuit is that that
Speaker 5: movie came out seven eight years ago, and I think
Speaker 5: it's strange that the lawsuit is being brought forward by
Speaker 5: a friend of the family and not by the Cushing estate.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure Disney checked all of their across their
Speaker 5: t's and out of their eyes before they brought Cushing
Speaker 5: back from the dead for that film. So I think
Speaker 5: this is probably going to go nowhere, and.
Speaker 3: They'll end up being vindicated in the contract.
Speaker 5: But you know it's going to be one of the
Speaker 5: next frontiers of entertainment law.
Speaker 1: Now, can we get the family or friends of Yoda
Speaker 1: to sue for what they did bringing him back?
Speaker 3: Yes? Probably probably so?
Speaker 1: Did you are were you on those people who thought
Speaker 1: it was really cool when he was flipping around like
Speaker 1: a lunatic?
Speaker 5: No, that was horrible, Okay, absolutely horrible.
Speaker 1: Remember what was the name of that of the of
Speaker 1: the Mechanical duty was fighting forgive me? I don't remember, but.
Speaker 5: Yoda started doing all sorts of crazy CGI flips in
Speaker 5: two thousand and two for Attack of the Clones when
Speaker 5: he battled Count Dooku. Christopher Lee, who, by the way,
Speaker 5: Christopher Lee is a very wonderful candidate for an actor
Speaker 5: who was so iconic that they might try to bring back,
Speaker 5: you know, for future movies. He's dead now, but he
Speaker 5: plays Saramon in Lord of the Rings. He plays Count
Speaker 5: in Star Wars. I would very much imagine that Christopher
Speaker 5: Lee is an actor that they're going to want to
Speaker 5: bring back rather than recast.
Speaker 2: I have a question for Steven. Yeah, isn't there a
Speaker 2: similar law put in a place after Back to the
Speaker 2: Future too for the actor that played George mcfluh.
Speaker 1: And they decided that you could not do that. That
Speaker 1: was a whole bigger thing, wasn't it. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: a whole bigger thing with him. But he's like, you're
Speaker 1: talking Crispin Glover right, because it's.
Speaker 2: Very similar where back to the future too, the guy
Speaker 2: that plays George McFly it's not the same guy that
Speaker 2: played him. And back to the Future one, they hired
Speaker 2: a guy and they made him look like him, and
Speaker 2: they decided to as hell yeah, hell yeah. I think
Speaker 2: they don't know if they passed a law or ruled
Speaker 2: they said you could not do that anymore. You couldn't
Speaker 2: do another person's likeness. It sounds very familiar, like similar, No,
Speaker 2: they couldn't, you couldn't do another person.
Speaker 1: I remember, I actually I actually, well, I'll let Steven
Speaker 1: answer if he wants, but I actually know the answer
Speaker 1: to this, and it was that the beef was because
Speaker 1: it was not made clear that it wasn't him. So
Speaker 1: they said that it didn't matter who was playing. And
Speaker 1: Crispin Glover was saying that if you do that and
Speaker 1: you don't delineate that it's not me. If it reflects poorly,
Speaker 1: I have no control over it, which I actually think
Speaker 1: is a legitimate argument, and he was alive, although I
Speaker 1: also think Crispin Glover is a weird dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think this.
Speaker 5: Raises one question going back to Cushing, which is that
Speaker 5: you know, there are certain actors who the actor that
Speaker 5: they hired to play him in Rogue One, he did
Speaker 5: a wonderful performance, like a wonderful impersonation of Peter Cushing
Speaker 5: as Tarkan and Star Wars, and then they grafted Cushing's
Speaker 5: face over him, and you kind of like would have
Speaker 5: never known that there was a wonderful performance done by
Speaker 5: a great actor who could impersonate Cushing. But you know,
Speaker 5: you could have just hired Charles Dance, you know, the
Speaker 5: famous British actor who plays Tayland Lanister in Game of Thrones,
Speaker 5: in order to do a wonderful Cushing impersonation. You just
Speaker 5: need to actually let actors do the job of performing,
Speaker 5: and even if that means performing a character who is
Speaker 5: made iconic by someone else.
Speaker 3: You need to do that.
Speaker 5: And we've had this same debate in the music industry.
Speaker 5: And I don't mean to change the subject here, but
Speaker 5: you know, passed away singers and famous performers Elvis, we've
Speaker 5: had debates in this country about whether or not they
Speaker 5: should be brought back by hologram to go on tour.
Speaker 5: Can you go and see a tour of Elvis performing
Speaker 5: using hologram technology?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: And we had that same discussion around the death of
Speaker 5: Chester Bennington and Lincoln Park.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a lot of speculation that he was
Speaker 5: going to be brought back by hologram and that is
Speaker 5: going to happen one day with somebody.
Speaker 2: Well, they're working, don't they.
Speaker 1: They either have it or they're working on a show
Speaker 1: like a Vegas show that has a bunch of like
Speaker 1: they're good, they went out.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna go out and get the rights
Speaker 2: and all this.
Speaker 1: But you you'll be able to go to Vegas and
Speaker 1: watch a hologram show of I don't let's just say
Speaker 1: it's Michael Jackson. I don't know who it is, but
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, and then I don't know Diana Ross and
Speaker 1: and you know who the hell knows?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And I think people will pay to go see that
Speaker 1: because it's Vegas and we make bad decisions, but also
Speaker 1: they'll probably put so much money into it it'll be
Speaker 1: like the ORB or whatever there where. It's one of
Speaker 1: these things you got to see once in your lifetime
Speaker 1: and it will probably be pretty successful.
Speaker 2: I think people will show up for that.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, let me ask you this question
Speaker 1: on the on the Bennington thing, and I want you
Speaker 1: to be Lou Pearlman for the purpose of this discussion, Steven,
Speaker 1: do you mind.
Speaker 3: I can do that?
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't remember who Lou Pearlman is,
Speaker 1: he's that really fat dude who was the boy band
Speaker 1: guy and they're like, why does he like working with
Speaker 1: boys so much?
Speaker 2: Then we found out, But also.
Speaker 3: Why would you why would you want me to do that?
Speaker 1: But go ahead, because because Lou Pearlman's job was to
Speaker 1: essentially construct acts. And so I want you to put
Speaker 1: yourself in the shoes of whoever's trying to figure out
Speaker 1: who's going to be the new lead singer for Lincoln Park.
Speaker 2: What are you looking for? You want somebody who's got to.
Speaker 1: Fit with the vibe or do their own thing in
Speaker 1: fitting with the vibe and and really expand the fan base.
Speaker 2: Right, that's the perfect case scenario.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: Okay, what if what if they're rape pathologists.
Speaker 5: Okay, I wouldn't have taken you Casey for a cancel
Speaker 5: culture guy, but I think this is actually a very
Speaker 5: contrived controversy, so I'll recap it for people. Lincoln Park
Speaker 5: has brought on this woman, Emily Armstrong from the band
Speaker 5: Dead Sarah, to be their new lead singer for this iconic,
Speaker 5: you know, giant band, Lincoln Park. And she is two things.
Speaker 5: She is a scientologist, a member of the Church of
Speaker 5: Scientology or whatever it is. And she also was a
Speaker 5: friend of Danny Masterson, the now convicted rapist and cast
Speaker 5: member of that seventies show. And Lincoln Park is basically
Speaker 5: facing a cancel culture campaign because she attended the trial
Speaker 5: and sat in a seat in the courtroom early on
Speaker 5: in the investigation into Danny Masterson when she wanted to
Speaker 5: offer him a show of support as a friend. And
Speaker 5: so Lincoln Park is now under siege because she attended
Speaker 5: the trial of a friend accused of rape and it
Speaker 5: turned out that Danny Masterson was in fact guilty in
Speaker 5: which case then she repeat and said that is bad,
Speaker 5: go to jail.
Speaker 2: I think it's uncouth, are you?
Speaker 3: Are you.
Speaker 1: That that the cancel culture would attach itself to something
Speaker 1: like that, especially in the fact that the cast members
Speaker 1: from that seventies show were able to slink back into
Speaker 1: the bush like Homer Simpson in that meme, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they'll probably never write a letter of recommendation
Speaker 1: again in their life.
Speaker 5: But yeah, and I remember they got in trouble for
Speaker 5: doing that, because you know, you believe the best in people,
Speaker 5: and especially when someone's a friend, and you can't believe
Speaker 5: that they do something so monstrous. And that's what Ashton,
Speaker 5: Kutcher and Milakunis ran into themselves, and they ended up
Speaker 5: being wrong. And so was this girl who sings for
Speaker 5: Lincoln Park, Emily Armstrong. And I think it's time to
Speaker 5: move on now. Is it weird that she's a scientologist? Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's super weird. I'm not a big fan, uh, but
Speaker 5: you know, there are a lot of scientologists in Hollywood
Speaker 5: and Los Angeles. It's kind of shocked when you look
Speaker 5: at all the different scientologists and it's not just Tom Cruise.
Speaker 5: So I think it comes down to this case when
Speaker 5: fans are looking for like a new singer for Lincoln Park,
Speaker 5: they want a new singer, they'd like to see the
Speaker 5: band come back. Do they want a singer that was
Speaker 5: picked by the record label and by the music industry,
Speaker 5: or do they want a singer who was picked by
Speaker 5: the band because they believe in them and they love
Speaker 5: them and want them to be the singer. I think
Speaker 5: they would prefer that the band have a singer that
Speaker 5: they believe in. And the band picked Emily Armstrong, not
Speaker 5: the label, not their pr people, And that's the best
Speaker 5: choice because you got to actually have a singer that
Speaker 5: the band wants to work with and believes can be
Speaker 5: their new voice. And that's what happened here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I got ninety seconds. One of the most
Speaker 1: iconic and improvised scenes in Indiana Jones is the scene
Speaker 1: where the dudes flipping the swords around in front of
Speaker 1: him and he, rather than engage him in the way
Speaker 1: that was actually in the script, he pulls that pistol
Speaker 1: out and just shoots him.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows the scene.
Speaker 1: So why the hell do I got to listen to
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones game creators say that gunplay in the game
Speaker 1: wouldn't be true to the character.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, so they're I mean, they're right, though, So
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna go off on this. In the
Speaker 5: In the sense that like Indiana, Jones was never supposed
Speaker 5: to shoot anyone in any of the movies. It was
Speaker 5: just sort of a thing that George Lucas and Steven
Speaker 5: Spielberg wanted. They wanted it to all be very classic punches,
Speaker 5: you know, using his bowl whip and all that kind
Speaker 5: of stuff. That day, when Harrison Ford was shooting the
Speaker 5: scene where he shoots the guy, uh, he had he
Speaker 5: had let's say, liquid bowel movements. He was very, very sick.
Speaker 5: He was not feeling well and he did not want
Speaker 5: to do the fight scene anymore, and so he got
Speaker 5: fed up. He said, give me a prop gun, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna shoot the guy, and he shot the guy and
Speaker 5: walked off to go to the bathroom because he did
Speaker 5: not want to shoot the scene anymore.
Speaker 3: So it was like a funny a funny gag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but it but it, but it is one element.
Speaker 1: Even think I got five seconds, I got a roll.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the time. We may get into this again.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Hang on
