Speaker 1: How was everybody's weekend? Ross and I were just chatting
Speaker 1: about ours off the air. So to finish what I
Speaker 1: was saying, I really didn't accomplish anything. I did watch
Speaker 1: a lot of basketball either, you know, around the house.
Speaker 1: There was a couple of projects I was getting done,
Speaker 1: so I kind of had that in the background, and I,
Speaker 1: you know, went out, went out on Saturday and hung
Speaker 1: out with the boys for a little while. And it
Speaker 1: was good, man. I mean there was some really really
Speaker 1: good games, Like did you have a favorite, by the way, Ross,
Speaker 1: Like maybe the Florida Connecticut one that was pretty really
Speaker 1: the the one that was crazy at the end Maryland
Speaker 1: and Colorado State. Colorado State damn near upset Maryland. I
Speaker 1: mean we're talking two last minute shots. It was just crazy.
Speaker 1: So anything that stood out maybe the US.
Speaker 2: I pissed all the unc Yeah, yeah, I mean I
Speaker 2: have thoughts on that. I think the big takeaway from
Speaker 2: that game is old MESS is a bunch of wealthy
Speaker 2: elitist scum, and U and C is a bunch of
Speaker 2: salt to the earth. You know, real, They're real, real,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't happen. I think that's how you
Speaker 2: compare the two schools.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't, you know, I don't Okay, you
Speaker 3: know it's wealthy, elitist scum you and C real.
Speaker 1: I okay, it wasn't particularly close game.
Speaker 2: Like if you were to go into like a randomly
Speaker 2: you go down to UNC today and you go into
Speaker 2: a classroom, it's sort of like you're in the Gangster's
Speaker 2: Paradise video. It's real.
Speaker 4: What.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think financially from an endowment perspective, that
Speaker 1: is close really actually, especially in basketball. You know, UNC
Speaker 1: is kind of like considered royalty in the world of
Speaker 1: college basketball. Maybe not now. I mean, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Just trying to help out the un C fans and
Speaker 2: make them feel better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. But yeah, okay, Well the women advance,
Speaker 1: so you got that, I guess if you're over over there.
Speaker 1: So okay, so you think it's like the do you
Speaker 1: think it's just what about the Does that include the
Speaker 1: classes that never existed? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Even the unreal classes are real from back in.
Speaker 1: The day or eighteen years. Okay, all right, you didn't
Speaker 1: watch any basketall.
Speaker 2: I didn't watch a second of it. Okay, is NC
Speaker 2: State in the tournament this year? No, they're not they're not.
Speaker 2: That's sad.
Speaker 1: No, it is sad. Yeah, but I mean really, I
Speaker 1: mean it's sad. But they just their season was they
Speaker 1: did not have a good seaton.
Speaker 2: How is Starfley doing Starfleet Academy? I got a new
Speaker 2: coach though, they got Starfley Academy got a new coach.
Speaker 1: No, not no, no no no. NC State got a
Speaker 1: new coach from he coached a team that did go
Speaker 1: to the tournament but then got eliminated. So so you know,
Speaker 1: it's a new era of wolf back basketball. We'll see
Speaker 1: where it goes. Starfleet was not How does Starfleet's not
Speaker 1: in it?
Speaker 2: I think, okay, that's my bad. I confused Starfleet Academy
Speaker 2: with Connecticut, So that's completely and that's me. That's unmazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, Connecticut's not in it anymore so, but almost dude,
Speaker 1: that's uh. I had Connecticut covering, and boy was I
Speaker 1: smart because all you people were like, to AF Florida
Speaker 1: is going to destroy him. Nine and a half point,
Speaker 1: say't enough, it should be like fifteen. I saw Portnoy
Speaker 1: jumping on that, and then I just saw Portannoy having
Speaker 1: to do like my mia culpa tweets. While I cashed,
Speaker 1: so yeah, what are you gonna do? So, yeah, you
Speaker 1: got basketball over the weekend. So if you weren't doing that,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you went and saw the new snow White.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what you did with the fam.
Speaker 2: Or no, we had a good weekend. Yesterday was one
Speaker 2: of those days where and it's perfect for a weekend
Speaker 2: because when it happens during a weekday it sucked. But
Speaker 2: it was one of those days where it felt like
Speaker 2: it went on forever, like it wouldn't end. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was like twelve thirty in the afternoon and we were like,
Speaker 2: how is it only twelve? It was amazing. It was
Speaker 2: a great weekend. Okay, all right, didn't see the new
Speaker 2: Star of snow White.
Speaker 1: Though, huh No, we passed on that, well, you and
Speaker 1: everybody else.
Speaker 2: Apparently so, and we are all very busy.
Speaker 1: Now here's the I'm really tempted because I I cheated
Speaker 1: myself because I wanted to know the full thing. Did
Speaker 1: you read anywhere or absorb the full storyline so that
Speaker 1: you understood it.
Speaker 2: I've seen it through various like social media accounts and
Speaker 2: headlines and stuff. I kind of get it.
Speaker 1: Are you aware of how snow White winds in the end, I.
Speaker 2: Know she has like a spoiler. She does like a
Speaker 2: revolution against the evil Queen correct, like an Antifa style
Speaker 2: revolution or something, and there's there's no prince I know
Speaker 2: that much. They took the prints out.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, he's kinda he was there for a second,
Speaker 1: but really just to kind of get berated for not
Speaker 1: doing something. And then she's out. So no, she she's
Speaker 1: single was she kind of single handedly won it, But
Speaker 1: it's how she won it. So how if you're if
Speaker 1: you're you know you're it's you. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: remember those those things we thought were the we're supposed
Speaker 1: to be the Dwarfs, those weirdos in the field that
Speaker 1: looked like baristas. Apparently there they were bandits in the
Speaker 1: movie and then like they were only in there for
Speaker 1: like a hot second. So like you can tell how
Speaker 1: like the big takeaway was that there. You could tell
Speaker 1: how many different ways they tried to rework the storyline
Speaker 1: and like they didn't care about continuity at some point.
Speaker 2: I mean, say what you will, man, that chick buried
Speaker 2: that movie. She buried it people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And people are like, well, you can't blame her.
Speaker 1: She's twenty eight three and she doesn't know any better,
Speaker 1: and she's an adult man. And even if she didn't
Speaker 1: know any better at that, remember that for the very
Speaker 1: first one where she's on the carpet going weird, weird, right, Oh,
Speaker 1: Like she could have not gone there ever again, and
Speaker 1: she couldn't help herself. She kept going there, and then
Speaker 1: she got all the political stuff where she's like, you know,
Speaker 1: she decided that seventy seven million people can kiss her
Speaker 1: behind and don't like Disney got savaged on this thing.
Speaker 1: People are gonna lose their job.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The theory was they were gonna do it like
Speaker 2: sort of like they do with The Little Mermaid, where
Speaker 2: they can ad a Little Mermaid. They race swapped a
Speaker 2: Little Mermaid, and then they made that like a central
Speaker 2: focal point of the promotion and marketing of the movie
Speaker 2: because it sort of like makes a divide and then
Speaker 2: people are like, well, I'm gonna go see it to
Speaker 2: support it because I want to support the African American,
Speaker 2: black Little Mermaid or whatever it is. Yeah, well, Rachel Zegler,
Speaker 2: what she did is she sabotaged this movie before they
Speaker 2: could put that into the marketing promotion because they were
Speaker 2: going to do a similar thing be like check it out,
Speaker 2: it's a Latina snow white. You got to go see
Speaker 2: this to support the you know, support Latina. And it's
Speaker 2: just it didn't work because she kept saying one thing.
Speaker 2: I saw a list this morning. It was like ten
Speaker 2: things she said before this movie aired that completely sunk
Speaker 2: the movie. So they could never get to that point
Speaker 2: like they did with The Little Mermaid.
Speaker 1: She also she also said something during an interview that
Speaker 1: was with Think it was with Telemundor it was one
Speaker 1: of the Spanish speaking stations that ended up alienating a
Speaker 1: bunch of Latin viewers. And I don't fully know. I
Speaker 1: think the beef was where she was talking about like
Speaker 1: downplane her Latina heritage and then people got mad at
Speaker 1: that or something. But it like so like wow, I
Speaker 1: mean you put in the work, I'll give you that much.
Speaker 1: Disney total forty two million, which is an absolute. That's death, man,
Speaker 1: that's just death on the opening weekend.
Speaker 2: Disney should use this going forward for their future productions
Speaker 2: and stars of like what not to do during a
Speaker 2: press junker or a presser.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing I don't understand, Like you contract
Speaker 1: people Ross and I are, there are things we can't say,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know this. There's things
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it sometimes, but there are things
Speaker 1: we can't say that we know would be instafiring, right
Speaker 1: because it would be financially detrimental to the radio station.
Speaker 1: And it's just and if it's not, it's not in
Speaker 1: the iHeartMedia is not and the FCC, I guess is
Speaker 1: involved here to some extent. But like, let's remove the
Speaker 1: FCC part.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: We know the words that you can't say and the
Speaker 1: things you can't do. But there are things that Ross
Speaker 1: and I could say that would financially be negative for
Speaker 1: our company, and if we said them, then they would
Speaker 1: fire us. Right. So I don't understand how if you're
Speaker 1: a production house and you're poning up five hundred million
Speaker 1: for a movie, you know, two fifty to produce, two
Speaker 1: fifty to market or you know whatever. The standard breakdown is,
Speaker 1: how when you're putting your movie together, the actors and
Speaker 1: actresses can't sign something that attaches produciary responsibility or at
Speaker 1: the very least says hey, you can't sit. I know
Speaker 1: they'd lose their mind in Hollywood, but that's how the
Speaker 1: normal world works. We could never do that you could
Speaker 1: never do something that to drill a half billion dollar
Speaker 1: loss into your company and not expect there's going to
Speaker 1: be ramifications. And yet they don't do it in Washington
Speaker 1: because she wouldn't shut up. She kept going out and
Speaker 1: doing stuff. Can't help themselves. All right, real quick, just
Speaker 1: because people might be interested in this, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it on the Eric. I'm gonna say it coming
Speaker 1: up here in five seconds if you want to, Just
Speaker 1: if you just want to turn your radio down for
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds because you plan and go and see in
Speaker 1: snow White. I'm gonna explain to you how lazy the
Speaker 1: rewrite was, has to how snow White defeated the evil Queen. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it'll take me ten seconds to say it, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna count down right now till I say it. Okay, five, four,
Speaker 1: three to one. She showed up. The queen had the
Speaker 1: entire army there, and then snow White remembered all the
Speaker 1: army guy's names because she's nice and she gets to
Speaker 1: know people, and they went, well, she knows our name,
Speaker 1: so now we fight for her. The end is that
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing you've ever heard.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of the Batman.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, if you don't know this one. If you
Speaker 1: don't know Batman versus Superman was solved because both of
Speaker 1: their mother's names were the same. I'm not making that up.
Speaker 1: You go check me on that. What are we doing
Speaker 1: so true love didn't do it. And by the way,
Speaker 1: if you're thinking of going to see the movie and
Speaker 1: you're like, look, I'll sit through it even though all
Speaker 1: this garbage because I'm nostalgic from my childhood, I watch
Speaker 1: it a thousand times. I love the songs, right, I
Speaker 1: love all I just want you to know that rite
Speaker 1: this not in the movie gone yeah, along with several others.
Speaker 1: But don't worry. They put a new girl boss anthem
Speaker 1: instead say all.
Speaker 6: You have to do to make your wish come true,
Speaker 6: we go, we go. Your voice will carry you.
Speaker 7: All.
Speaker 2: Right now, listen, that's a that's a team you version
Speaker 2: of Let It Go from first, Yes it is, Yes
Speaker 2: it is sounds just like let It Go and every
Speaker 2: single big Disney song lately with their movies, they're all Mulan.
Speaker 2: They've all become Mulan. You go back and Mulan. It
Speaker 2: was different because it fit the story. Now every single
Speaker 2: movie is Mulan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Mulan was a women's empowerment movie, right, but
Speaker 1: it was a great but also I mean no, I mean,
Speaker 1: to be fair, there are songs in that they celebrate
Speaker 1: both genders, like yeah, no, no, no, I totally agree. But
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that they like they didn't have to
Speaker 1: jack the storyline Mulan.
Speaker 2: No, because it fit and it's it's a it's a
Speaker 2: famous tale. I mean that's what the Disney used to do.
Speaker 2: They used to take these classic tales and turn them
Speaker 2: into and you stay animate them. Yeah, it's not like
Speaker 2: they came up with the source material. Right, you go
Speaker 2: back and like watch, like where how how old some
Speaker 2: of these stories are?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, would tell me what's the Uh, there's a
Speaker 1: great movie with Tom Hanks. I would recommend that you
Speaker 1: watch it. Scott Colin Farrell, Tom Hanks. It was uh,
Speaker 1: it was about Mary Poppins, right, what was the It
Speaker 1: was the live action where it was showed how he
Speaker 1: acquired the rights to it because he had to deal
Speaker 1: with this right the you know the writer of Mary Poppins,
Speaker 1: who was an Australian living in London, and like she
Speaker 1: had the whole attitude and it's a good movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good movie.
Speaker 2: They're these classic you know, Hans Christian Andersen stories that
Speaker 2: they would just take and they would animate them and
Speaker 2: they wouldn't change them quote for the modern audience, and
Speaker 2: believe it or not, they worked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like this is this is, this is how
Speaker 1: how it went man so like, and people didn't object
Speaker 1: to it. What they object to you is then once
Speaker 1: it worked, going I don't think that worked. And you're like,
Speaker 1: that's the wasn't that the highest grossing animated movie of
Speaker 1: all time? I think it is, right something if it's
Speaker 1: not the highest grossing it was, and then something may have,
Speaker 1: you know, beat it in the Pixar era, but like
Speaker 1: it was. It clearly worked. It clearly worked. And so
Speaker 1: for you to throw out the prints and and and
Speaker 1: I don't know, look, and people can get in they
Speaker 1: complain about graphics and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: She can sing, I was about to say. The thing
Speaker 2: is like she can actually sing, like she's singer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's on point with the Frozen movie, like it's up there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just but it's crazy how similar to that song
Speaker 2: is to Frozen. They're just like, let's recreate that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because it works and you can't blame them, but it's
Speaker 2: not working.
Speaker 1: Well because you can't have Yeah, because if there's one
Speaker 1: thing women don't want to do is marry a really
Speaker 1: famous dude today.
Speaker 2: But the thing is, like the st remakes are completely unnecessary.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, it wasn't necessary to remake this movie because
Speaker 2: the old one is still a class again, still great
Speaker 2: and still holds up.
Speaker 1: I think I would look, it would be fine if
Speaker 1: you're going to respect the source material and you can,
Speaker 1: like you can even there are ways that you can
Speaker 1: modern it up with how without having to get political,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like, like you can
Speaker 1: you could make it a you know, rather than set
Speaker 1: in you know, fairy tale, but kind of a medieval vibe.
Speaker 1: You could modern it. You gotta be careful, but you
Speaker 1: could do it. But once you once you take the
Speaker 1: storyline and the emotion that people felt watching that movie
Speaker 1: and you just go, well, that's not going to be
Speaker 1: in here anymore, then you didn't do the same movie
Speaker 1: because it doesn't the moral of snow White and everything
Speaker 1: that happens doesn't need to take place in a medieval vibe,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? You can do it
Speaker 1: you could do it in a modern way, but you
Speaker 1: have to have all of the elements. You have to
Speaker 1: have the elements that made the movie the movie, and
Speaker 1: they just weren't down with that. So and then I
Speaker 1: don't know, some of the dance numbers look weird just
Speaker 1: from videos that I saw.
Speaker 2: Well, what you're describing, though, it is already a movie
Speaker 2: that exists, or bring it into the modern age, Amy Adams.
Speaker 2: It's called Enchanted and it was at a great movie.
Speaker 1: Oh I had not seen that. Yeah, I know you
Speaker 1: there had to be an example.
Speaker 2: Of the movie starts and it's like animated and she's
Speaker 2: sort of like, you know, it's no white Cinderella character,
Speaker 2: and she's brought into like modern day. She jumps out
Speaker 2: of the book and she's in modern day Manhattan. And
Speaker 2: it's got the guy that played McDreamy in it, and it's.
Speaker 1: Fantastic, the dude from the Hospital.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, from Gray's Anatomy, and it's a great movie.
Speaker 2: It's well done. But they've already done.
Speaker 1: It and it worked. Yeah, yeah, it's great. Okay, Well
Speaker 1: look look at that. I didn't even know and I
Speaker 1: should have been a producer because I called it so
Speaker 1: all right, did anybody see this thing? Anybody in your
Speaker 1: kids just like, well, we gotta go. I'm just curious
Speaker 1: if somebody saw this thing called the show. Let us know,
Speaker 1: all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four coming out. People in Denver want to murder
Speaker 1: you and not even hide their face telling you about it.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that and much more. Hang on,
Speaker 1: we were just talking to you know about all the
Speaker 1: weekend stuff. Whether you went and saw snow white, you
Speaker 1: gorged on basketball, or you did something else. Hope you
Speaker 1: had a good weekend or there. I guess there was
Speaker 1: one other option. You could have flown to Denver, you know,
Speaker 1: dyed your hair blue and then showed up outside of
Speaker 1: the Bernie Slash AOC tour date there and answered questions
Speaker 1: by one of the talk radio stations there in Denver.
Speaker 1: I can't remember the call letters. I think it's it's
Speaker 1: not one of ours, it's one of the others. But
Speaker 1: so they had one of the news guys or co
Speaker 1: hosts out there and just just interviewing him. And he's
Speaker 1: not aggressively interviewing. And when you have a mic flag
Speaker 1: that's local media and doesn't say like info Wars you
Speaker 1: can usually hook people a little more. And the stuff
Speaker 1: that people ross. Do you think that they were doing
Speaker 1: everything they were doing anything really to hide their identity
Speaker 1: doing these interviews, because like their faces are pretty much uncovered,
Speaker 1: like the one dude's wearing glasses, the woman's got a
Speaker 1: little kertcheef. I mean, yeah, we're in a shirt that
Speaker 1: has something on it. Like literally that says a school.
Speaker 2: Some of them are covering their face. They look like
Speaker 2: the like the Islamic hostage videos, right, yeah, like the
Speaker 2: like the Hamas or isis where they're covered up and
Speaker 2: they look like a militant. Some of them are do
Speaker 2: look like that, yeah, But then some of them in
Speaker 2: the middle of the interview that we have some audio though,
Speaker 2: and the one guy just takes off his mask and
Speaker 2: just starts talking like all right, he's like he's like
Speaker 2: a muffled you can't hear anything. I want to murder
Speaker 2: whoever let me take the mask off.
Speaker 1: But and then says these things, and I'm about to
Speaker 1: play you, says them out loud. It's here we go,
Speaker 1: let's go.
Speaker 5: My sign says.
Speaker 8: If you want to know how fascism ends, ask Benito Mussoline.
Speaker 8: I believe that the minute the Donald Trump decided to
Speaker 8: start ignoring judicial orders, he gave up the right to
Speaker 8: be the rightful president of the United States. He's an
Speaker 8: enemy of the nation. And yes, I'd like to see
Speaker 8: him hung by his feet by a lamppost. So I'm
Speaker 8: kind of sick and tired of all these democrats running
Speaker 8: around talking about here's what we're gonna do to win.
Speaker 9: Mother.
Speaker 8: They're not going to let you take office. The only
Speaker 8: way we're getting Donald Trump or jd Vance or his
Speaker 8: ilk out of power is having tens of millions in
Speaker 8: the people in the streets. And probably we're gonna probably
Speaker 8: have to have a few thousand people die at the
Speaker 8: hands of cops and soldiers before people get outraged enough
Speaker 8: to actually force the government to RESIGNA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, the follow up question should be like, well,
Speaker 1: who do you think those thousands should because I guarantee
Speaker 1: this dude doesn't see himself as one of them. He thinks, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: some useful idiots will do any of the rest. So
Speaker 1: you want to hang Trump like Benito Mussolini? Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: and then you want a revolution where thousands die. And
Speaker 1: here's the thing, there is a lot I want to say,
Speaker 1: a lot of similarities. There's several similarities to what people
Speaker 1: were saying, what Republicans were saying following the twenty twenty election. Right, oh,
Speaker 1: they stole it. They'll never let Republicans have power again.
Speaker 1: All right, But at no point did I go, so
Speaker 1: we need to hang Joe Biden by his feet and
Speaker 1: shove castor oil in his and hot oil in his butt,
Speaker 1: which is another thing they did in Mussolini in case
Speaker 1: you didn't know. Yeah, yeah, they never said that, you
Speaker 1: know why, because that's insane, that's crazy, and especially in
Speaker 1: an interview, let alone, like a a in a chat
Speaker 1: for him somewhere. All right, let's continue the insanity. You
Speaker 1: did sign the people straight cut his head off. Tell
Speaker 1: me what your shirt is all about?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it says, but daddy, I love him, And
Speaker 4: it's a picture of Luigi Mangioni, a guy that's kind
Speaker 4: of bringing people together, like all the classes need to
Speaker 4: like get together against the CEOs of the country.
Speaker 10: I don't know of the healthcare and others CEOs.
Speaker 2: But he committed murder.
Speaker 1: Doesn't it give you any pause?
Speaker 4: So does the CEO every day that's denying healthcare to
Speaker 4: all these people? So one person against millions of people, So.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't necessarily call for violence, would you?
Speaker 1: Are you supporting violence?
Speaker 4: I think there's the people in power. That's all they're
Speaker 4: going to listen to at this point.
Speaker 10: The intimidation of judges right now for making decisions that
Speaker 10: Trump does not like, and he and Musk are weaponizing
Speaker 10: our democracy.
Speaker 9: And did you did you feel the same way when
Speaker 9: they threatened like Alito and Kavanaugh and the rest of
Speaker 9: the folks.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about, dude.
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not a unique thing to Colorado,
Speaker 1: but Colorado has an above average number of crunchy like
Speaker 1: sixty five seventy plus year old hippies, and they are
Speaker 1: just and hippie is the wrong word because like when
Speaker 1: I think of hippie, I think, well, they're probably not
Speaker 1: going to bomb you, right, this is what is smoke
Speaker 1: pot get left alone and really not pay attention. But
Speaker 1: these these are people who purport to be politically plugged in.
Speaker 1: It's people's grandma and grandpa where somebody needs to come
Speaker 1: get them that their family doesn't want to be around
Speaker 1: usually and they're like at the forefront. There's so many
Speaker 1: in Colorado just living that one year in Colorado and
Speaker 1: visiting when I was a kid, all those times, and
Speaker 1: you know, I would stay there with a friend down
Speaker 1: in Crusted Butte for a few weeks at a time
Speaker 1: with his father because his parents were divorced. His mom
Speaker 1: lived up in Wyoming. And especially when you get into
Speaker 1: the ski towns, you're absolutely overrun with these things.
Speaker 2: They seem like the the old like like, what is
Speaker 2: it the Barack Obama hung out with that guy in
Speaker 2: Chicago when he was killed there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're underground, the weather underground.
Speaker 1: They are the they are now the weather underground. But
Speaker 1: they're just aged to it like that sort of hippie.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Colorado is just crawling with them. You know what
Speaker 1: they do?
Speaker 3: They hang that red it black, that red white and blue.
Speaker 1: It's red white and bloom. I forgot about this tick.
Speaker 1: Well all right, so hold on, do you mean the
Speaker 1: Confederate flag, which, by the way, Ross, would you look
Speaker 1: up the color scheme of the Confederate flag? Maybe check
Speaker 1: an old uh check the old general Lee there, what
Speaker 1: color is the Confederate flag?
Speaker 2: It's not red, white and blue.
Speaker 1: Oh no, look at that so so and and by
Speaker 1: the way, there's lots of Confederate flags. Let's just be clear.
Speaker 1: Let's just be clear. I want to be one hundred
Speaker 1: percent here. So and you do have red, white and blue,
Speaker 1: don't you know on some of the stars and bars.
Speaker 1: But you have a different blue, and it was it
Speaker 1: called it's a Canton blue or something. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's what she's talking about or if she
Speaker 1: means the actual US flag. So anyway, let's let's continue.
Speaker 11: You know what they do, they hang that Confederated black,
Speaker 11: that red, white and blue. It's okay, red white and blue.
Speaker 2: There's a luminati on the money.
Speaker 10: Do you probably want to get Elon Musk out of politics. Yeah,
Speaker 10: the world's richest man, the most influential in history, is
Speaker 10: now calling the shots. He's arrogant, drugged up idiot.
Speaker 12: He's basically a second grader, all right, if you've listened
Speaker 12: to what anything he said, okay, over his entire career,
Speaker 12: he's literally a primary school mentality.
Speaker 9: I don't believe that racists should hold off this. So
Speaker 9: first and foremost, if you have an opinion that your
Speaker 9: race is better than or for some reason has some
Speaker 9: sort of spiritual or cosmic.
Speaker 1: Can I just for a moment. So would you say
Speaker 1: that somebody's racist if they were to implement programs they
Speaker 1: can only that only certain races can avail themselves of
Speaker 1: and others can go pound sand that would be pretty.
Speaker 2: Racist, because I mean not if you're a believer in CRT,
Speaker 2: because it says that black people can't be racist.
Speaker 1: Oh right, loophole, the loophole, damn it. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: because I was going to say, like that means that
Speaker 1: all the Democrats have to leave right right.
Speaker 9: Right preference or elevation over another race. That's wrong.
Speaker 1: And I don't miss support or believe in you.
Speaker 9: So right now, the person who's the president does believe
Speaker 9: that their race is better than is supreme.
Speaker 2: Whatever Donald Trump say, white people are supreme.
Speaker 9: I have heard Donald Trump support many racist policies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you couldn't name one. So yeah, that's uh. That
Speaker 1: looks that looked like a good time.
Speaker 2: The judges thing. Where were these people when the Supreme
Speaker 2: Court was like, hey, you can't do that when it
Speaker 2: comes to like, you know, like student loan payments, and
Speaker 2: Biden is like, hey, they made this rule in but
Speaker 2: screw it, I'm not going to follow it. Where were
Speaker 2: these people? What was different.
Speaker 1: When lady said she was unaware. Oh she talking about
Speaker 1: Kavanat being threatened. How are you not a cavan How
Speaker 1: are you not aware that lunatics showed up in front
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court people's houses and they arrested a
Speaker 1: dude who was there to assassinate one of them. Like,
Speaker 1: how how do you how do you purport to be plugged?
Speaker 1: Because remember She's went, I didn't, I don't. I didn't
Speaker 1: hear anything about that. And I'm like, well, maybe you didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's your source? Crystals? Crystals? Where you
Speaker 1: getting your news, lady? And the answer is that might
Speaker 1: be it? So uh yeah, like if that's again and
Speaker 1: and and and like the Tesla stuff and like everything
Speaker 1: and like everything else, is it the majority of people
Speaker 1: who who like or will openly call for physical harm
Speaker 1: against political No, it's not, it's not. It may be
Speaker 1: irritated about stuff. They may just kind of mentally check out,
Speaker 1: which is what a lot of people do if their
Speaker 1: guy or gal is in power right now. But you
Speaker 1: don't need the majority, you need five percent, You need
Speaker 1: one percent. You need people that are willing to go
Speaker 1: out and do these heinous things, and like they're so
Speaker 1: blatant about it. I can't imagine giving an interview to
Speaker 1: a radio stage it's identified as a media outlet, and
Speaker 1: you're being filmed too. You know you're being filmed, and
Speaker 1: you know that the microphone's there, and you're willing to
Speaker 1: like this guy, just sit there and Signe says.
Speaker 8: If you want to know how fascism ends, ask Benito Mussolini.
Speaker 8: I believe that the minute the Donald Trump decided to
Speaker 8: start ignoring judicial orders, he gave up the right to
Speaker 8: be the rightful president of the United States. He's an
Speaker 8: enemy of the nation. And yes, I'd like to see
Speaker 8: him hung by his feet by a lamppost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, how even for your own even if you like,
Speaker 1: if that was your plan for your own self preservation,
Speaker 1: why would you sit there and say it on video?
Speaker 1: Any answer, largely is he probably feels in Colorado, where
Speaker 1: they're coddled by the way. Did you Ross did you
Speaker 1: see the the Trump portrait scandal in Colorado?
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, all right, I gotta find this so uh.
Speaker 1: You know, you know how when you go into government buildings,
Speaker 1: there'll be a photo, There'll be photo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I saw the one that they posted, I
Speaker 2: believe in the White House where it's like his mugshot looks.
Speaker 1: Amazing, it's his mud well that's it. But but more importantly,
Speaker 1: that is his official photo, right.
Speaker 2: Which is which is amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is yeah, but that is there's supposed
Speaker 1: to be continuity there. So anytime any you know, if
Speaker 1: you go to a federal building, you go to go
Speaker 1: to the Federal building in Raleigh there with the federal courthouses, right,
Speaker 1: go in there, there is a there is Jdvan, there's
Speaker 1: Trump and JD. Vance's photo. It's a federal building, right.
Speaker 1: And if you in Colorado and a lot of state
Speaker 1: capitals will have even though it's a state thing, we'll
Speaker 1: have the governor, right and then the president and all that.
Speaker 1: So so in Colorado, rather than using the photo, that
Speaker 1: photo Colorado found like a photoshop crappy one where Trump's
Speaker 1: all super fat and it's clear it's I'll have to
Speaker 1: find it and it's it wasn't a screw up because
Speaker 1: people understand there's an official photo. They picked one at
Speaker 1: like a bunch of children, so that Trump had so
Speaker 1: that it was a bad photo of Trump. That's the
Speaker 1: level of maturity that you're dealing with with uh within
Speaker 1: government there, Colorado's lost the plot man. And they were
Speaker 1: always we you know, there was always jokes about it.
Speaker 1: That's why we were like, oh, greenies, we used to
Speaker 1: call them greenies. Is that a green license plate back
Speaker 1: in the day. And then that was the joke that
Speaker 1: they were the granola. They were crunchy. But it was
Speaker 1: never mean spirited, right, it was just Wyoming going, oh,
Speaker 1: look it's over run with a bunch of hippies, and
Speaker 1: Montana's a bunch of Californians and the Dakota suck, which
Speaker 1: is why it's so windy.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: It was all these little rivalry, but nobody hated each other.
Speaker 1: Now they hate each other. They hate they're calling for
Speaker 1: the president to be executed in multiple different ways. So
Speaker 1: it's something something else has taken over and and rapture
Speaker 1: these people. And considering the number of people that are
Speaker 1: willing to go out. I saw high school kids vandalizing
Speaker 1: teslas on video over the weekend. High school kids, what
Speaker 1: the hell do they know nothing? They're doing it because
Speaker 1: they think it's cool, and that's where it gets. That's
Speaker 1: where it gets more problematic. It's not just the diehards.
Speaker 1: It's not just the committed people. It enters the zeitgeist
Speaker 1: right where if hey, if you want to be cool,
Speaker 1: and the thing that Republicans were successfully able to do
Speaker 1: this last election is resecure the cool factor. It was
Speaker 1: cool to be a It wasn't cool to be a Democrat.
Speaker 1: It was cooler to be a Republican. And so you
Speaker 1: just hope that they're not going to dig through some
Speaker 1: of the gains there, especially if the people that they
Speaker 1: would then find themselves associating with are people advocating for,
Speaker 1: you know, the execution of pol Petitians. But yet here's
Speaker 1: where we find ourselves, all right, eight eight eight nine
Speaker 1: three four seven eight seven four, And you know there
Speaker 1: are instances where people think they're going too far. Tim
Speaker 1: Walls was he's so dishonest, but he over the weekend
Speaker 1: tried to correct himself. We're not gonna let him get
Speaker 1: away with it. We'll play all the audio for you.
Speaker 1: And also the media is once again ramping up to
Speaker 1: do what they do. The sheer dishonesty of that interview
Speaker 1: with Homan and subsequent coverage I saw from ABC and
Speaker 1: CBS over the weekend on the trend de Ragua members
Speaker 1: the Gangbangers from Venezuela. Where the source that they believe
Speaker 1: and the only one that they believe, and then they
Speaker 1: forced the Trump administration to prove a negative is some
Speaker 1: social media post by a family member who obviously is
Speaker 1: totally unbiased. So we'll get into that much more coming up.
Speaker 1: Casey O Day Radio program. All right, hang on, Ross,
Speaker 1: would you tell me? I'm gonna send it to you.
Speaker 1: I'll let you make the judgment call whether this is
Speaker 1: any good or not, because I'm seen it while I'm
Speaker 1: on the air, So well, why are you being a jerk?
Speaker 1: Come on, computator, do what you're supposed to do. There
Speaker 1: we go. All right, it's Monday. I don't expect anything
Speaker 1: to work properly some days. All right, AOC. If it's
Speaker 1: not really like blatant, then don't worry about it. All right,
Speaker 1: he's gonna give it and check that out. So a
Speaker 1: few things to get into this morning. Let me let
Speaker 1: me lay this story out for you. Oh wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: let me get it. Let me get a call on
Speaker 1: the insanity of the Man on the Street interviews at
Speaker 1: the Bernie AOC rally. So if you remember, and I'm
Speaker 1: just let me just play this first part again.
Speaker 8: My sign says, if you want to know how fascism ends,
Speaker 8: ask Benito Mussoline. I believe that the minute that Donald
Speaker 8: Trump decided to start ignoring judicial orders, he gave up
Speaker 8: the right to be the rightful president of the United States.
Speaker 8: He's an enemy of the nation. And yes, I'd like
Speaker 8: to see him hung by his feet by a lamppost,
Speaker 8: all right.
Speaker 1: And then some other chick wanted to see him beheaded.
Speaker 1: And then some other chick was there for Luigi because
Speaker 1: she wants CEOs to be murdered, and like just so
Speaker 1: blatantly out there, not even trying to hide it in
Speaker 1: many instances. And this is this is the stuff that
Speaker 1: really makes me nervous because, well, I don't necessarily think that,
Speaker 1: you know, the ten or so people that they interviewed
Speaker 1: are probably going to go out and pull a trigger.
Speaker 1: It's not about them. It's about creating a permissiveness within
Speaker 1: the environment.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: It's where somebody who is just wanting to do something says, well,
Speaker 1: look at that. There's a bunch of there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of quote unquote regular people who who are down with
Speaker 1: this insane idea that I've had let's go do this
Speaker 1: thing and then they find him. So like that Ruth
Speaker 1: Loser from North Carolina hiding in the bushes at mar Lago,
Speaker 1: waiting to take pot shots at the president, that's how
Speaker 1: you get there, and so that's why it's so dangerous.
Speaker 1: All right, Chris, what's up?
Speaker 7: Hey, Casey, good morning, Thanks for taking my call. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you kind of touched what I was going to say.
Speaker 7: The permissiveness is what they're trying to do. Just like
Speaker 7: you know, Thomas Crook shot Donald Trump, and if he
Speaker 7: had gotten away with it, I think he wouldn't have
Speaker 7: I don't think they would have. I don't think they
Speaker 7: would have prosecuted him. I think he would have been praised,
Speaker 7: which is sad. And that's my other question. Are these
Speaker 7: people allowed to own guns? And how am I supposed
Speaker 7: to take that kind of stuff as a citizen. You
Speaker 7: know that I'm sitting here listening to these people just
Speaker 7: talk about how they want to kill the president, and
Speaker 7: all I see him doing is arresting gang members. Now,
Speaker 7: if you go to Carborough, you'll see that there's a
Speaker 7: bunch of immigrants that just stand there looking for work.
Speaker 7: And those guys aren't being harassed by anythink cops is
Speaker 7: drive by them. They don't messle them because they're working.
Speaker 7: Trump's just trying to get the criminals out, and I
Speaker 7: don't think anyone understands that. But my question goes.
Speaker 1: Back through, Yeah, it's not just criminals. There are also
Speaker 1: people that standing deportation orders, and you know, they don't
Speaker 1: necessarily need to be a gang member for that. But
Speaker 1: to your point, he's prioritizing right now the criminals and
Speaker 1: those where they don't have to do paperwork because of
Speaker 1: the expediency. Right if they already have a standing deportation order,
Speaker 1: it makes things go faster. And so that's why they're
Speaker 1: prioritizing there. And yeah, well, yeah, I just.
Speaker 7: Concerned about you know what I'm supposed to say. How
Speaker 7: am I supposed to think about all these people, you know,
Speaker 7: trying to hurt our country. You know, it doesn't matter
Speaker 7: who the president is. They've all got their good and
Speaker 7: bad points. I mean Joe Biden had some good and
Speaker 7: bad points, and he kept some Trump stuff in place.
Speaker 7: Sometimes I just think that's the get I get worried
Speaker 7: because I wonder, you know, I don't want to see
Speaker 7: another firefighter get killed and have a family, have to
Speaker 7: do with that because of some politician or some people
Speaker 7: think that the policy Titian's crazy, you know what I mean,
Speaker 7: it just didn't make any sense. I'm sorry to say that,
Speaker 7: but thank.
Speaker 1: For my call. Yeah, well to make it, and thanks
Speaker 1: for the call there to this is probably you don't
Speaker 1: want to hear this. Everyone I've ever known, for the
Speaker 1: most part, in Colorado, including people that are very far
Speaker 1: on the left, a lot of them have guns because
Speaker 1: it's just you know, Western US is a bit of
Speaker 1: a gun culture, even for those on the let Maybe
Speaker 1: it's not to the extent that it used to be.
Speaker 1: Admittedly I haven't lived there in a very long time,
Speaker 1: but like I know a lot of people. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people including remember I told you the
Speaker 1: story of and I don't by the way, I just
Speaker 1: want to be clear, I don't think she's violent. But
Speaker 1: I told you my best friend's mom. Growing up in
Speaker 1: high school, I considered my second mom. I mean, that
Speaker 1: was it. She was my second mom. And when Trump
Speaker 1: first got elected, she sent me about a year into
Speaker 1: the Trump thing, she sent me a message saying on
Speaker 1: Facebook saying, I can't deal with your posts anymore. I'm
Speaker 1: going to unfriend you basically have a good life. Never
Speaker 1: want to talk to you again. That woman owned a
Speaker 1: absolute monster amount of guns. So again I don't think
Speaker 1: she's violent, But like, these are people clearly on the left.
Speaker 1: So if you're concerned with what you think are people
Speaker 1: on the right who are not all there, where is
Speaker 1: the concern for people on the left standing out there
Speaker 1: giving an interview going yeah we're gonna oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and and you know, execute them like
Speaker 1: Mussolini or whatever. Dude, it's it's it's chilling stuff. And
Speaker 1: then meanwhile, inside the rally, I'll get to the Foreman
Speaker 1: stuff and the Suran Wrap stuff here in just a
Speaker 1: little bit. But inside the rally they were packed. I
Speaker 1: told you, I told you last week. I said, the
Speaker 1: one thing that you're seeing Democrats gravitate towards is this
Speaker 1: combination of Sanders and AOC. As much as I don't
Speaker 1: understand it with the AOC thing, because she's just she's
Speaker 1: not good, she's not smart. I mean, I'm not even
Speaker 1: going to, you know, joking about the garbage's bowls or whatever.
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm basing this on. Like the decision
Speaker 1: to try to run Amazon out of her own district
Speaker 1: right where she makes these snap decisions that you know,
Speaker 1: frankly are injurious to her own constituency in many instances.
Speaker 1: And then you know, wants to spend all the money
Speaker 1: that's ever been printed in the US, of all the
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years, well, two hundred and forty
Speaker 1: nine years, I guess in our existence to you know,
Speaker 1: to get rid of cows and build trains to Hawaii
Speaker 1: or whatever, which I understand is a slight exaggeration, but
Speaker 1: the way that she worded it, it's not.
Speaker 5: This.
Speaker 1: And and yet when I talk about Main you know,
Speaker 1: the Main Party when they do polling, right, they pull
Speaker 1: all Democrats registered Democrats. Also, the lunatics are clearly gravitating,
Speaker 1: hence them showing up on the lawn in front of
Speaker 1: the rally doing these interviews. But AOC's got it all
Speaker 1: figured out, man, she got it all figured out. In fact,
Speaker 1: let's let's hear from a part of her speech.
Speaker 11: We need a democratic party that parts fighting.
Speaker 2: Harder for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry. What I'm sorry you need I'm sorry
Speaker 1: what we need?
Speaker 9: A democratic party that parts fighting.
Speaker 1: Harder for us? Okay, all right, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a Freudian slip. But you know, we had a
Speaker 1: lot of fiber in the diet with the hummus, so
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's what she needs. So she's in there
Speaker 1: doing her thing, and you know people are positive with it. Uh.
Speaker 1: The only thing that got really weird was Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: was doing an interview with boy Jonathan Carl was a
Speaker 1: busy boy. So he's doing an interview with Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 1: and like Bernie Sanders did the whole rip the mic off,
Speaker 1: stand up to leave thing over. What I think people
Speaker 1: think is an innocuous question, but I'll explain to you
Speaker 1: why it's not. Let's listen. First, she inspires young people
Speaker 1: all little bit talking about a Would you like to
Speaker 1: see her joining in the Senate? Right now? We have,
Speaker 1: as I said, just a whole lot of people in
Speaker 1: the concress. Okay, gunn thank.
Speaker 13: Way, I got one one that's important.
Speaker 14: Well, I asked you, okay, you know you want to
Speaker 14: do nonsense nonsense.
Speaker 11: No, I don't want to talk about inside the beltway stuff.
Speaker 1: I got thirty two thousand people. I was just asking
Speaker 1: you about AOC because she was fine. But I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about this all right, some people aren't
Speaker 1: understanding why Bernie Sanders got so upset. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think he should have got so upset. But the
Speaker 1: reason he got so upset and by and the question,
Speaker 1: I guess if it was a little hard to hear, uh,
Speaker 1: do you want to see AOC in the Senate? And
Speaker 1: people are going why would he get mad over that?
Speaker 1: The reason is is because the narrative or the people
Speaker 1: want Chuck Schumer gone right, you know, for not shutting
Speaker 1: the government down or whatever within in New York. That's
Speaker 1: the narrative. I don't know if that polls correctly, but
Speaker 1: that's what people are saying, and they want AOC to
Speaker 1: primary him or they want him to take his medicine
Speaker 1: leave and then have AOC run for Senate in New York.
Speaker 1: So that's why Sanders got mad, because Jonathan Carl was
Speaker 1: trying to drag him into that fray where he's either
Speaker 1: got to pick Schumer or he's got to pick AOC.
Speaker 1: So that's why that's why I got upset. Now, even
Speaker 1: though he did stand up to leave, he did come back,
Speaker 1: so he didn't actually do the cold walkout. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the whole thing was very uncomfortable, and then
Speaker 1: Carl going, oh, no, I was only asking because she's
Speaker 1: doing a rally with you. Jonathan Carl is lying, Okay,
Speaker 1: he was, And I would have asked that question too.
Speaker 1: I just want to be I want to be clear,
Speaker 1: but I would have owned it. That's what irritates me.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Carl asked a correct question. He recognized that there
Speaker 1: is this infighting here, that there are two camps here,
Speaker 1: and he wanted to know what can't Bernie Sanders is
Speaker 1: in because he's hitting the road with AOC. It's a
Speaker 1: fair question, and Bernie wants to get all butt hurt
Speaker 1: over it. Whatever, not not much you can do about it.
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Carl will go, oh, no, I only ask
Speaker 1: because she's at the rally with you. No, you didn't.
Speaker 1: You asked because you knew this was a hot button
Speaker 1: issue that if he said something, if he went on
Speaker 1: the record saying I absolutely do Bernie Sanders saying that
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer should lose his seat would be a really
Speaker 1: big deal politically. And that's why Carl asked it. But
Speaker 1: he's too much of a coward to own it. And
Speaker 1: you know why, probably because he wants access just so
Speaker 1: many people so dishonest over the weekend. How many of
Speaker 1: you do I want to get into this. How many
Speaker 1: of you know what's going on with soda gate, which
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it. I know, I hate doing the
Speaker 1: gate thing every now and but it's perfect. How many
Speaker 1: of you followed the soda insanity? So if you don't
Speaker 1: know what happened? And I have a lot of Ross
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of thoughts on this because
Speaker 1: it's just something that.
Speaker 2: We I'm so parched and eat some soda, just some man,
Speaker 2: it just refreshing, you know what I mean? In the morning,
Speaker 2: straight down the mouth hole. Yeah, first thing in the morning.
Speaker 2: Tea this morning out. Yeah, not enough sugar, but it is.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have any sugar. It's because it's just tea.
Speaker 2: But you need carbonated sugar to start your day.
Speaker 1: I no, just I like tea in the morning, like
Speaker 1: some earl gray, some black teeth. Good, A couple bags
Speaker 1: in there. Oh yeah. So uh so, let me let
Speaker 1: me set this here. So when you endorse something, and
Speaker 1: we obviously Ross and I endorse stuff right part of
Speaker 1: the deal. But when you hear a commercial where it
Speaker 1: goes hey Ross here for you know, vapes right. Oh sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like you're like, oh, Ross is endorsing this. It is,
Speaker 1: it is, It is disclosed and and you can make
Speaker 1: your decision. And we don't endorse every well I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. If Ross endorses vapes, then you know
Speaker 1: he's sold out because I know how it feels. But like,
Speaker 1: you don't endorse everything you endorse with clients. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that I turned down. I don't want
Speaker 1: anything to do with, and that's fine, but it stacks
Speaker 1: to your credibility and you have to disclose what it is.
Speaker 1: In fact, we have a legal obligation to disclose, and
Speaker 1: it's my understanding from the training that they give us
Speaker 1: in even in a social media setting, Ross, we just
Speaker 1: took the training. Right, what do you have to What
Speaker 1: do you have to do if you make a social
Speaker 1: media post about one of your endorsement clients?
Speaker 2: Do you have to write a hashtag ad?
Speaker 1: There's a few things, but adds the main thing. Right,
Speaker 1: So what you had is you have this issue where
Speaker 1: they are discussing whether Snap benefits should include the ability
Speaker 1: to buy soda and not just soda, a few other things,
Speaker 1: but soda, which is incredibly valuable to the soda manufacturers, right,
Speaker 1: they if Snap people weren't able to buy it with
Speaker 1: their Snap benefits, never mind that they could still buy
Speaker 1: it because there are there is some money that they
Speaker 1: have if they're getting the full fledge. But you have
Speaker 1: these soda companies actively lobbying, and it's really kind of disgusting,
Speaker 1: right they send these people to all these hearings in
Speaker 1: these different states or they're having it going, oh, you
Speaker 1: can't do this, it's great. And so they decided what
Speaker 1: they would do is they would get quote unquote conservative
Speaker 1: influencer accounts and they would pay them. It was between
Speaker 1: five hundred and one thousand dollars one time payment, and
Speaker 1: they would all and then they were to post about
Speaker 1: how the federal government telling Snap beneficiaries that they can't
Speaker 1: buy soda basically is a violation of the Constitution. And
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has a diet coke button in his office
Speaker 1: and we shouldn't we because then we become the mayor
Speaker 1: of New York or Philly when they wanted to do
Speaker 1: this soda bans and it's just not right. And they
Speaker 1: didn't just disclosed any of this, they just did it.
Speaker 1: And you had big accounts like Ian Miles Chong and
Speaker 1: clown World and who was the guy we were talking about.
Speaker 2: I think his name is Brad Daughtry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Daughtry and uh and and a handful of others
Speaker 1: that did this and they and it's worse. It's not
Speaker 1: like it's not like the Hooters gave them a bunch
Speaker 1: of chicken wings and then they made a post about
Speaker 1: how much they love Hooters, okay, which again, if it's
Speaker 1: not disclosed, is a problem. It's their whole bread and
Speaker 1: butter is political opinion and commentary, and they sold it
Speaker 1: out for one thousand bucks or five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: They've destroyed their brand for a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I blocked every single one of them's. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you do whatever you're gonna do. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm no, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2: It's no different than during the campaign you had these
Speaker 2: you know, younger influencers and streamers just random in their
Speaker 2: stream going, oh, by the way, I love Kamala, Kamala, Kamala.
Speaker 2: I'm voting for Kamala. You should vote for Kamal. It
Speaker 2: turns out, but it's worse.
Speaker 1: You know why, It's worse because a lot of those
Speaker 1: in influencers just talk about sex and boys and you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, they're not political people. So in
Speaker 1: a way, it was almost aside, these are political accounts
Speaker 1: they post, and I'm not going to miss anything because
Speaker 1: everybody posts all the same twenty memes all day and
Speaker 1: whatever the stories are, so I'll get it from the
Speaker 1: other three hundred places. But to flush your credibility for
Speaker 1: five hundred to one thousand dollars, it is amazing to me,
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: To be fair, I had Chong blocked a long time ago.
Speaker 1: I've never understood why one of the leading thought leaders
Speaker 1: in American politics is a dude from Malaysia who's never
Speaker 1: been to America never. Always it was weird to me,
Speaker 1: But but yeah, that's that was absolutely looney tunes to
Speaker 1: see what was.
Speaker 2: It like copy and paste stuff or was it at
Speaker 2: least original coming from them?
Speaker 1: No, I don't know if you saw that. It said, hey,
Speaker 1: here's some points to hit on. So well, it wasn't
Speaker 1: copy and paste they want. There was three or four
Speaker 1: points they wanted in there, and they all kind of
Speaker 1: put it in their own words, like the Trump the
Speaker 1: thing where they invoked Trump going he's got a diet
Speaker 1: coke button. Okay, he's not on welfare. He can afford
Speaker 1: his own diet coke. What are you talking about? Just oh,
Speaker 1: just that you would do that as insane. We'll be
Speaker 1: back quick call on the protesters, and we will swiftly
Speaker 1: transition to this other side.
Speaker 14: Well, a couple of things. Okay. First off, I don't
Speaker 14: believe for a minute that all those people came out
Speaker 14: for them.
Speaker 7: I believe they were paid.
Speaker 14: And I don't just say that off the top of
Speaker 14: my head. I've actually seen ads on Craigslist asking for
Speaker 14: paid protesters. One was just the other day and it
Speaker 14: had an email to apply to and I sent an
Speaker 14: email with a fake name, and the email was good.
Speaker 14: It didn't come back to me as undeliverable to the
Speaker 14: I think those people were paid, and there's a lot
Speaker 14: of money float now there for that.
Speaker 1: So here's a I don't necessarily I think that some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you see on social media as
Speaker 1: people screwing with people, but it's undeniable in certain circumstances,
Speaker 1: like with the Kavanaugh protests, where they were giving protesters
Speaker 1: money in the in the instance that they got caught,
Speaker 1: which it was basically in lieu of a payment, and
Speaker 1: I think it's undeniable when you see the crowds that
Speaker 1: have showed up pre and post disassembling USAID money. So
Speaker 1: there's what I'm saying is there's a lot of evidence
Speaker 1: out there that I think definitely points to You're probably
Speaker 1: not wrong. I just don't know if every instance is
Speaker 1: that or somebody trolling? Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 14: And yeah, and I agree, I agree with you on that.
Speaker 14: I know they all weren't, but that's just out of nowhere.
Speaker 14: They couldn't get anybody to gather before the election, and
Speaker 14: all of a sudden they've got tens of thousands of
Speaker 14: people showing up. And one last thing I want to say,
Speaker 14: on the side of saying, those people are gristers. And
Speaker 14: I knew it when Kyle Rittenhouse. I'll never forget the
Speaker 14: day I woke up and they were all attacking Coleritt House,
Speaker 14: and I knew what had happened to him. Someone had
Speaker 14: gotten to him and convinced him, just played with his head.
Speaker 14: And I knew before two hours was up he was
Speaker 14: going to turn around and say, ooh, I made a mistake.
Speaker 14: But I thought almost every one of those influencers turned
Speaker 14: on him like Cobra's well and bit, and the hate
Speaker 14: was insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was unnecessary. They piled on. But Kyle Rittenhouse
Speaker 1: made a couple of really bad decisions. One of them
Speaker 1: he did, yeah, to try to divorce himself from that
Speaker 1: thing down in Arizona, which I didn't understand why he
Speaker 1: would do that. And there was one other yeah, but not
Speaker 1: enough to garner heat. It's just I just looked at
Speaker 1: him as a young guy who's now famous, not that
Speaker 1: he wanted to be, but he is because of it,
Speaker 1: who is getting either some bad advice or up in
Speaker 1: his fields.
Speaker 14: So exactly exactly, And the response from people who are
Speaker 14: supposed to be helping us make decisions as conservative as
Speaker 14: to what's good oughts good is is just way too
Speaker 14: often inside just look with the sides stuff. And I'm
Speaker 14: lucky I follow every one of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so if it look, if you want real opinions,
Speaker 1: you want real straight dope, you come to Ross and I.
Speaker 1: So we'll tell you when we'll be straight up.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: As look, we can see the future. I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I think we've that's been proven definitively here on
Speaker 1: this show. How many predictions have we made that comes true?
Speaker 1: Look at that, and we're willing to put in the work.
Speaker 1: Do you know that Ross almost let Taylor Swift be
Speaker 1: the world champion wrestler, But no, dude, he put in
Speaker 1: the extra work to make sure that wouldn't happen.
Speaker 2: That it is correct. Chat Chat was shook this weekend
Speaker 2: on the Twitch broadcast do It. It was so we
Speaker 2: have the new w W E two K twenty five
Speaker 2: game and you can download like celebrities and stuff, and
Speaker 2: it's so, by the way.
Speaker 1: If people come watch us. Let me just be clear here,
Speaker 1: So if people come watch you on Twitch, you you
Speaker 1: somehow profit from that? Right?
Speaker 2: That is correct?
Speaker 1: Okay, full disclosure, even though it's disclosed literally when you
Speaker 1: go there. So all right, anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 2: But this new game is great because you can download
Speaker 2: like celebrities and musicians and it looks just like him
Speaker 2: in the intro, like we had like a he Man
Speaker 2: versus skeletor in the in the squared circle. It looked amazing.
Speaker 2: But one of the ones was Taylor Swift. Chat was like, hey,
Speaker 2: let's have Taylor Swift fight the Ultimate Warrior because then
Speaker 2: the Ultimate Warrior will like run over Taylor Swift, and
Speaker 2: I find that entertaining, so we we programmed that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then the impossible happened. Oh no, Taylor Swift pinned
Speaker 2: the Ultimate Warrior and then she won the championship. And
Speaker 2: the way this game works is like in past games,
Speaker 2: if a character would win a championship, that's it, and
Speaker 2: it doesn't carry over for the rest of the game.
Speaker 2: In this game, once Taylor won, she was the champion
Speaker 2: forever in my game, until somebody bet here. So we're like,
Speaker 2: this cannot stand. We cannot end the broadcast until we
Speaker 2: fix this problem because it's a definite problem and it
Speaker 2: should have never happened. So we had her go against
Speaker 2: the Undertaker, Oh good and the Undertanger Tombstone during like
Speaker 2: five minutes tragedy.
Speaker 1: Avert so excited.
Speaker 2: So coming up this weekend, we're gonna have Donald Trump
Speaker 2: versus the Lensky.
Speaker 1: Oh that's that shouldn't even be closed, right, doesn't Trump
Speaker 1: like twice his size?
Speaker 2: What's the other one? I'm gonna have he Man versus Lione.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have Bob Ross and Dora versus mister Rogers
Speaker 2: and Cayu and in a cage match. Oh, Beavis versus
Speaker 2: butt Head Extreme Rules and then in a cage match
Speaker 2: to see where's the pants in the relationship, We're gonna
Speaker 2: have Taylor Swift versus Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 1: So how many different So the game has these in
Speaker 1: there or peace are making them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, people make them and they upload them and you
Speaker 2: can download them for free. And some of them are
Speaker 2: like so well done where you're like, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: you're thinking it's going to kind of look like that
Speaker 2: person in the ring, but it is, and it looks
Speaker 2: just like that person in the ring.
Speaker 1: Well, when does Ross Russell?
Speaker 2: I was gonna have? So I got a cat, oh
Speaker 2: g enormous, like ten foot adorable cat in like a
Speaker 2: Darth Vader gear, And I'm not going to put in
Speaker 2: the effort to make a character because I'm way too busy.
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm so busy. However, if somebody wanted
Speaker 2: to upload a k.
Speaker 1: C No, No, that's okay, We're good.
Speaker 2: We could possibly have Case versus Whiskey at WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: So you're now trying to rather than put in the effort.
Speaker 1: That was just complimenting you for making sure that Tate
Speaker 1: wasn't the You're now going to offload the responsibility for
Speaker 1: designing a thing of me so.
Speaker 2: That you no no, no, no, no, no no no. Okay,
Speaker 2: there's been a misunderstanding here. Okay, I'm I'm not saying you.
Speaker 2: I'm saying C A. S E Y and say Casey,
Speaker 2: it's somebody. Yeah that might just happen to look like you,
Speaker 2: but it's not k C. That would at That would
Speaker 2: be unethical and immoral.
Speaker 1: Really is you put me on a mug with John
Speaker 1: Wayne Gacy once you remember, Yeah, I'm looking at it
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, So some would say that was slightly
Speaker 1: you know, in that direction, but I digress, all right.
Speaker 1: So anyway, going back to George Foreman, you know, can
Speaker 1: you have d wait, can you have there's got to
Speaker 1: be a George Foreman now right after he died this week.
Speaker 2: I'm sure somebody's gonna make it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and then you can have them fight Michael
Speaker 1: Moore again.
Speaker 2: We tried doing Tim Walls versus Kane, but nobody made
Speaker 2: Tim Walls yet.
Speaker 1: How is that possible? Get on it. We'll hear from
Speaker 1: Tim Walls coming up here. But going back to this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: George Foreman passing away over the weekend, and uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone who didn't own a George Foreman. I
Speaker 1: really didn't. Man, they were great too. The timing of
Speaker 1: the George Foreman's Yeah, I'm really once, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: starting off off on my own, and I can actually cook.
Speaker 1: I'm not horrible at it, I'm not great at it.
Speaker 1: But that thing was so easy. Do you can take anything,
Speaker 1: Just take any little cut of meat, you got pork,
Speaker 1: you get a bunch of pork chops in the fridge freezer,
Speaker 1: and then just George forming him through the week. It
Speaker 1: could not have been simpler. Could not have been simpler.
Speaker 1: Everyone owned one. And there was one other thing Ross
Speaker 1: and I were reminiscing about too, which I had kind
Speaker 1: of forgotten about, and that was the last Foreman comeback,
Speaker 1: the narrative that he's so old he was going to die.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that. The way the play by play
Speaker 2: and the way they marketed that was like I remember
Speaker 2: watching as a kid. It was like in the early nineties, right,
Speaker 2: I remember watching that at home.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the premise was the premise was he was so elderly,
Speaker 2: ancient and old that him winning was nearly impossible, and
Speaker 2: they were concerned for his help because here he is
Speaker 2: in the ring, the oldest man to ever put on
Speaker 2: boxing gloves, and as a kid, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: he has to be like super old, right right? And
Speaker 2: then I did some research when he passed away him
Speaker 2: like he was forty five during that fight, and now
Speaker 2: I feel attacked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and ninety nine days so he's almost forty six.
Speaker 2: So he's like our age now and it's like, listen,
Speaker 2: I'm not old, I'm young man, but apparently we're we're
Speaker 2: going to a dust.
Speaker 1: You know. What's crazier is during that comeback and also
Speaker 1: his comeback in the late eighties, which uh I remember
Speaker 1: who initially he fought there. He actually fought a pretty
Speaker 1: big name. His goal. He was trying to fight Tyson.
Speaker 1: This dude, he would have been thirty. I guess he
Speaker 1: would have been what late thirties, mid to late thirties.
Speaker 1: He wanted a piece of Tyson. Do you remember Tyson
Speaker 1: in eighty seven eighty eight? Holy crap, dude, I mean this.
Speaker 1: He had no fear, man, he had no fear going
Speaker 1: forward and then and then he fought Michael Moore was
Speaker 1: the guy he fought to regain the title when he
Speaker 1: was forty five, not more more the director. No, no,
Speaker 1: that dude out of share? What's he's out of shape? Man? Wait?
Speaker 1: Can we give Michael Moore to fight George Lucas or something? Yes?
Speaker 2: D you see why this is fun?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Oh what about Rachel Zegler? Yes, all right, we need
Speaker 1: to do these things. All right, Well, let me do
Speaker 1: let me do this real quick. Okay, well ill, oh
Speaker 1: we're doing the phone again. Okay, wonderful Ken Boon from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel here because a technology Ken, How are
Speaker 1: you doing on this Monday morning?
Speaker 5: Sir?
Speaker 1: Did you own a George Foreman grille at any point
Speaker 1: one of those little girl?
Speaker 5: I certainly did. I certainly did. I'm sure it's somewhere
Speaker 5: still in the house, but I haven't used it in
Speaker 5: a long time. If I still have.
Speaker 1: It, yeah, Well, now we got air fryers and the
Speaker 1: world's moved on by. What are you gonna do? All right?
Speaker 1: So what's going on this morning, sir?
Speaker 5: Well, we've got cloudy skies, breezy cool conditions out there today.
Speaker 5: We've got front moving through, so scattered showers, even a
Speaker 5: thunderstorm possible today. I think best chance is going to
Speaker 5: be as reapproach midday and then through the afternoon. High
Speaker 5: temperatures today generally in the middle part of the sixties,
Speaker 5: decreasing clouds Tonight, mid forties. Nice day tomorrow with sunshine.
Speaker 5: It'll be a little mild there, temperatures climbing up into
Speaker 5: the little part of the seventies. We could see a
Speaker 5: few hours moved through Tuesday night, but then it's back
Speaker 5: to sunshine Wednesday Thursday, but a little cooler for us
Speaker 5: mid sixties. Both afternoons. Lows will be down around forty
Speaker 5: and then warming back up Friday as we finish out
Speaker 5: the week with sunshine and low seventies. And right now
Speaker 5: our weekend looks really nice, so they eat warm. We
Speaker 5: could be close to eighty both afternoons.
Speaker 1: Hey, man, you get this is like the best golf
Speaker 1: stretch part of the year, or one of the two.
Speaker 1: So you guys just keep it up. Five up the
Speaker 1: good work, okay.
Speaker 5: All right, all right, I'll try yeah, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, if you're watching basketball, get out and
Speaker 1: scream and throw clubs in the water. That's how I roll,
Speaker 1: all right, seven forty six hang on the worst polling
Speaker 1: VP candidate in modern history. So he's already probably it
Speaker 1: probably stings a little right there, even if he would
Speaker 1: never admit it. So he's decided he's just going to
Speaker 1: be angry lunatics some more and that should help. And
Speaker 1: he got on the stage and said this on my phone.
Speaker 1: I don't some of you know this on the iPhone.
Speaker 1: They've got that little stock app.
Speaker 15: I added, Tesla, dude, to give me a little boo during.
Speaker 11: The day two twenty five and dropping so, and if
Speaker 11: you own one, if you own one, we're not blaming you.
Speaker 11: You can you can take dental floss and pull the
Speaker 11: Tesla thing off, you know, and take out of just telling.
Speaker 1: You all right, all right, so you know, And a
Speaker 1: lot of people responded, even people that probably would have voted, said,
Speaker 1: you know, this is not a good look because you're
Speaker 1: the governor of Minnesota, and Minnesota's retirement and pension investment
Speaker 1: funds have major positions in Tesla. And in fact, I
Speaker 1: saw a very good video where a guy was talking
Speaker 1: about if you really want to divorce yourself from all
Speaker 1: things Elon related, here's all the things you have to do,
Speaker 1: and like, you don't realize how intertwined all of his
Speaker 1: companies are in different things. One of which is you
Speaker 1: can't invest in the s and P five hundred because
Speaker 1: it's two percent of the S and P. It's actually
Speaker 1: a very big position for the Minnesota stuff. And Tim
Speaker 1: Walls himself, I guess, owns it and it employ you know,
Speaker 1: it employs primarily eighty thousand people. That's just Tesla, not
Speaker 1: to mention all his other companies and any ancillary companies
Speaker 1: that exist solely because Tesla exists, companies that employ hundreds
Speaker 1: of people because they make parts that they then sold
Speaker 1: to Tesla. It's insane. So I think Walls figured out
Speaker 1: it was a bad idea because he decided that he
Speaker 1: was just joke.
Speaker 15: This guy bugs me in a way that is probably
Speaker 15: unhealthy and so but but I have to be careful
Speaker 15: about being a smart ass. I was making a joke.
Speaker 15: These people have no sense of humor. They are the
Speaker 15: most literal people.
Speaker 1: Russ that line right there.
Speaker 2: I am so pissed off. Listen, he is not listening.
Speaker 2: You can't change the game after two decades, especially him,
Speaker 2: because he's not a good politician. He's not good at this,
Speaker 2: all right, but nobody believes you. You're not genuine. For
Speaker 2: twenty years, you've been doing the thing where if somebody
Speaker 2: on the right makes a joke it's sarcastic says something.
Speaker 2: Not only do you declare them a racist, but then
Speaker 2: you cancel them and try to destroy their lives. So
Speaker 2: don't say that we're the literal ones when we're What
Speaker 2: you're pissed off at is we're playing your game now
Speaker 2: and we're better at it than you, and we're winning.
Speaker 2: And you're seeing this across pop culture and movies and everything.
Speaker 2: We're suddenly why it's just a video game, It's just
Speaker 2: a movie. Why is it important? It was? It was,
Speaker 2: it was important when you guys are winning. Now you're losing,
Speaker 2: so now you're you're you're you're saying a different thing.
Speaker 2: It's so annoying.
Speaker 1: He woke Dracks.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it, right, Yeah, that's all
Speaker 2: you've been doing. You've been canceling and ruining lives for
Speaker 2: twenty years when people said the wrong thing. So shut up.
Speaker 1: I was just joking. I okay. I'm glad that that
Speaker 1: was your trigger point too, because that's where I lost
Speaker 1: my crap. In fact, let me play let me play
Speaker 1: it again, because it's just it's so in theory. Oh
Speaker 1: you guys can't take a jewels.
Speaker 15: Me in a way that is probably unhealthy. And but
Speaker 15: but I have to be careful about being a smart ass.
Speaker 15: I was making a joke. These people have no sense
Speaker 15: of humor. They are the most literal people, most literal people.
Speaker 15: But my point was they're all mad and I, you know,
Speaker 15: said something I didn't you know, probably shouldn't have about
Speaker 15: a company he.
Speaker 5: Is in agreeing a great So I make the case.
Speaker 5: I make the case.
Speaker 15: They're all but hurt about the Tesla thing, but they
Speaker 15: don't care the disrespect they have shown to employees at
Speaker 15: the Minneapolis VA who care for our veterans when.
Speaker 5: They fire them.
Speaker 2: They don't care.
Speaker 1: So we will have.
Speaker 15: The conversation about efficiency and government and about doing that,
Speaker 15: but none of us believe for a second they're thinking
Speaker 15: about this. Oh we fired everybody that's dealing with ebola.
Speaker 15: And then he went into the Oval office wearing a hat.
Speaker 15: I don't ever want to hear anybody talk about decorum
Speaker 15: and respect or that wearing a hat coming in their
Speaker 15: richest man in the world.
Speaker 2: Again, this maybe is just me.
Speaker 15: If I'm the richest man in the world, I'm like
Speaker 15: out on the streets handing out to money. It'd be
Speaker 15: fun as hell just.
Speaker 2: To help people out.
Speaker 7: We'll help people out, you know.
Speaker 1: And then and then, by the way, then you wouldn't
Speaker 1: be the richest man in the world.
Speaker 2: At least Trump is actually in the Oval Office, as
Speaker 2: opposed to the fake Oval office across the street, which
Speaker 2: is still super weird.
Speaker 1: Well, he was talking about Musk coming in with the hat,
Speaker 1: that's what he was wanting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but at least they're in the actual Oval office.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did see. They went over and we're doing like,
Speaker 1: hey undercover, like, hey, this is what it looks like
Speaker 1: with his tiny little desk and all that. But other
Speaker 1: than that, yeah, I don't think he's done anything in
Speaker 1: the office except make that have his staff make that video.
Speaker 2: The fact that he's like, oh, well, they're just jokes,
Speaker 2: and they can't take a joke. Her people can't take
Speaker 2: a joke because they hear you, and then they start
Speaker 2: destroying Tesla's or letting them on fire.
Speaker 1: Right. Well, also the Superchargers, they do those two and
Speaker 1: again it's so it's just a joke. No, it's not.
Speaker 1: Especially And here's the thing. If I'm making jokes about stuff,
Speaker 1: and I honestly am and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: and I'm in a very high profile thing, I realized
Speaker 1: that somebody quote misunderstood the joke and literally went and
Speaker 1: did it. I'm gonna it's gonna give me a little
Speaker 1: bit of pause. It's gonna give me a little bit
Speaker 1: of pause. I'm gonna be like, oh okay. So clearly,
Speaker 1: clearly some lunatic has latched on this, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to alter the way that I handle it. Coming up
Speaker 1: on the show, we had a little another quick, little
Speaker 1: movie discussion too. I want to get into it kind
Speaker 1: of we did the snow White thing earlier, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, did not do well. I know forty was
Speaker 1: it forty two domestic or forty three domestic or whatever
Speaker 1: it was. That sounds that's you know, for a lot
Speaker 1: of movie, especially with some of the stuff that we've
Speaker 1: seen post COVID, those have been pretty good weekends, but
Speaker 1: not when you've invested hundreds of hundreds of millions of
Speaker 1: dollars in this thing. That is an absolute bath. People
Speaker 1: are going to lose their jobs. But these folks who
Speaker 1: I see that are hopeful out there like, well, Disney'll
Speaker 1: now get the message. Good luck with that. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I've seen anything that tells me that Disney's
Speaker 1: going to turn course on this thing. So if that exists,
Speaker 1: I don't know will Rachel Zegler work again. She might
Speaker 1: be the one to really take the brun of this.
Speaker 1: And I don't care that she's twenty three, She's an
Speaker 1: adult and she kept doubling down on this stuff. But
Speaker 1: just you know, this weekend represents probably a half billion
Speaker 1: dollars in investments that will never be recouped in big
Speaker 1: project video games and movies. Right, if you take snow
Speaker 1: White's losses, likely the losses that that Assassin's Creed game
Speaker 1: is going to have, It's just like the entertainment industry,
Speaker 1: Ubisoft or how we pronounced it, the company that produced it.
Speaker 1: If they don't make enough money back, they're done. Most
Speaker 1: people don't realize, especially with video game development. They a
Speaker 1: lot of times they'll finance this stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the game took like three hundred fife hundred fifty
Speaker 2: million dollars to make or something, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no finance. They'll go out and they'll get working capital.
Speaker 1: But that also means that they have to meet certain
Speaker 1: requirements and make payments back and as far as I
Speaker 1: know Ross can probably speak to it better that that
Speaker 1: thing's not going to make its money back right now.
Speaker 2: They said it had to make like a fifteen percent
Speaker 2: of it back or something, and it's like underperforming. Oh oh,
Speaker 2: I know the end credit scene. Somebody posted it the
Speaker 2: end credits if you beat the game is over two
Speaker 2: hours long.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I did see some that the first
Speaker 1: Assassin's Creed had three hundred people did it and is
Speaker 1: considered it's still considered like one of the best video
Speaker 1: game ever, right, the original Assassin's Creed.
Speaker 2: That's kind of pushing it. I'm sure there has to
Speaker 2: be somebody who thinks that, sure.
Speaker 1: Maybe this series I saw that, but okay, all right,
Speaker 1: but it was very popular and it definitely made its money,
Speaker 1: and now they have like three thousand people working on it,
Speaker 1: and then they put that stinker out. And it's not
Speaker 1: just people upset with the Don't get me wrong, the
Speaker 1: whole country of Japan is irritated by it and lot
Speaker 1: of other people. But I saw some gameplay where your
Speaker 1: character can lay like belly crawl, like you know, like
Speaker 1: you're doing the obstacle course at basic training, can belly
Speaker 1: crawl literally around your feet and then the enemies can't
Speaker 1: hit you.
Speaker 2: The AI doesn't know how to handle it. They'll just
Speaker 2: chase you around, flailing their swords around. It's super weird though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Ross was saying too that it's kind
Speaker 1: of racist.
Speaker 2: Dude, some of it. I was seeing the cut scenes
Speaker 2: of it, and you like, walk in and you talk
Speaker 2: to a woman at the marketplace or whatever, and not
Speaker 2: only does it look horrible, but she when she speaks,
Speaker 2: it sounds like it's audio, like a placeholder audio that
Speaker 2: they didn't switch out and improve upon. It's so horribly racist,
Speaker 2: like she it's a one. It's choppy English, and she's
Speaker 2: having a hard time, you know.
Speaker 1: It's the joke from SNL. Yeah, that was the whole thing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which was meant to be over the top. Oh that's
Speaker 1: that's well, I mean could it's the entirety of Japan
Speaker 1: was already mad at you.
Speaker 2: It's just so you had such a you should be
Speaker 2: printing money with this game. It's an assassin's creed game
Speaker 2: in Japan. Just put a ninja in it and it
Speaker 2: should be fine. But you have you know, a gay
Speaker 2: black samurai who falls in love whether they them non
Speaker 2: binary person and feudal Japan, which didn't exist, by the way,
Speaker 2: and so and they're like, oh, well, you know this
Speaker 2: is optional, you don't have to do it. Well, it
Speaker 2: shouldn't be in it because it would never be okay,
Speaker 2: And maybe it should be it made. Maybe it's a
Speaker 2: video game, and who cares, right, because the whole series
Speaker 2: has sort of skewed history. But I don't know, people
Speaker 2: in Japan seen kind of pissed off about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't really like it because they're kind of
Speaker 1: big into the cultural and heritage and it's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so like you saw over the weekend, you
Speaker 1: saw like a half billion dollars just flush down the toy.
Speaker 2: And they're pushing it everywhere. I loaded up, you know,
Speaker 2: turned on the Xbox this weekend and a big square
Speaker 2: popped up on the screen which I'd never seen before,
Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, you should buy Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what is this? You're pushing it? And
Speaker 2: then I scrolled down and it's the games we recommend
Speaker 2: for you tak which has always been there. And typically
Speaker 2: it's games that I would play, like games that I
Speaker 2: played in the past or series and first up there
Speaker 2: in the games we recommend for you was Assassin's Great Shadows.
Speaker 2: Like one of these things does not belong with the
Speaker 2: other games.
Speaker 1: All right, hold on, hold on, somebody just sent me
Speaker 1: an angry email. He goes, I'm seriously, guys, if all
Speaker 1: are going to talk about his video games, that I'm
Speaker 1: never going to listen again. You need to understand that
Speaker 1: nobody cares about video games, at least not most of
Speaker 1: your audience, sir. You understand that we're there, We're literally
Speaker 1: talking about video games, but under the premise of woke politics. Right,
Speaker 1: so this isn't just Ross and I talking about the
Speaker 1: cheat codes for the original Mario Where get the Infinity Lives?
Speaker 1: And what was that three to three you got to
Speaker 1: jump on the turtle?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep it repeatedly. Right, that's not what's happening here.
Speaker 1: You want to hear what my point is, sir? All right,
Speaker 1: so why just just sit down, get yourself a chill pill,
Speaker 1: have a delicious soda. Ross recommends sodas for breakfast.
Speaker 2: Doctor Pepper. I recommend Doctor Pepper because first off, he's
Speaker 2: a doctor, and second it's also a meal.
Speaker 1: You know, we never got the ever got the name
Speaker 1: brand sodas and I as a kid, like my mom
Speaker 1: would go to like the the warehouse that was food
Speaker 1: for less up in the Billings and then Doctor Thunder.
Speaker 1: It would be like this, you know, like twenty four
Speaker 1: different sodas and it would be like doctor Zip or
Speaker 1: like yeah, I don't think he's a doctor.
Speaker 2: Yeah we had doctor Thunder.
Speaker 1: Oh doctor Thunder? Is that what you guys had out there?
Speaker 1: M hm? So uh And by the way, did you
Speaker 1: see people used to heat doctor pepper and drink it hot?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was that the late fifties or the sixties.
Speaker 2: They would they market That's how they marketed it, where
Speaker 2: it's like you should like heat it up and enjoy
Speaker 2: it during like the holidays are Christmas.
Speaker 1: Now pre nineteen twenties Coca Cola, I'll take some of that.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a way to start your day.
Speaker 1: You're up, you're doing stuff, You're accomplished everything. I'm kidding,
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I don't want cocaine for breakfast, all right?
Speaker 1: So anyway back to back to the point that I'm
Speaker 1: making here, sir, because I'm sorry you just so hate
Speaker 1: on this. When we talk about companies that may look
Speaker 1: at this and go, we got to cheatange what we're
Speaker 1: doing right, And they go, we're gonna get rid of
Speaker 1: all the DEI stuff. We're not gonna We're not gonna
Speaker 1: bring sexuality into any of these games. We're just gonna
Speaker 1: make video games. Well, you have a bunch of people
Speaker 1: that are willing to stand on the lawn in front
Speaker 1: of the Denver State Capitol ahead of a Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: rally and tell local media that they want to execute
Speaker 1: the president. Do you think companies want to deal with
Speaker 1: that if they're seen as folding on the woke stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you think that these lunatics in the same way
Speaker 1: they went after Tesla? Do you think that doesn't weigh
Speaker 1: in the minds of CEOs who may want to offload
Speaker 1: some of the woke because they realize it's a loser
Speaker 1: for them, but not so much of it that they
Speaker 1: turn these lunatics on them. I think there's something there.
Speaker 1: I think companies there. You remember how immediately companies right
Speaker 1: after the election were started doing away with their DEI stuff.
Speaker 1: I think there's companies now that are paused going all right, well,
Speaker 1: it's not good because the people on the right are
Speaker 1: sick of this, and the country has spoken. But also,
Speaker 1: I don't want to irritate this band of terrorists. So
Speaker 1: the last thing any company wants to do is end
Speaker 1: up on the radar in the same way that Elon
Speaker 1: Musk companies are right now.
Speaker 2: It's a sort of like a lose lose for them.
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, because the either a you're not going to
Speaker 2: profit or be you're gonna piss off a crazy person
Speaker 2: who's letting cars on fire.
Speaker 1: And then you know, if if you make a video game,
Speaker 1: they'll go into a target or wherever they sell it,
Speaker 1: and they'll get all the copies, pour some lighter fluid
Speaker 1: on it, burn it right, and then it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's a bad pub there. Like they're back in this
Speaker 1: window right here. So yeah, I'll talk about video games,
Speaker 1: and I'll talk about Disney, and I'll talk about these
Speaker 1: companies that right now I think are having to deal
Speaker 1: with the choice what do you do? And what they
Speaker 1: don't want to do is they don't want to be
Speaker 1: in the position that Tesla is right now. And these
Speaker 1: these hey, let's execute politician lunatics. They'll throw you right
Speaker 1: on the list. And remember you have the other one
Speaker 1: who's all down with Luigi because he assassinates CEOs. Well
Speaker 1: you you, Bob Iger are a CEO.
Speaker 2: And the ironic part is none of these companies, like
Speaker 2: you know, change their logos or took this stance on
Speaker 2: moral grounds. They thought they would make money on it. Correct,
Speaker 2: I thought they were following the money.
Speaker 1: Correct, Yes, So uh anyway, Hey, you want to hear
Speaker 1: another thing that's going to irritate you to the tenth power.
Speaker 1: Let me get to this.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 1: Uh, here's the headline. Australia US relations suffer latest blow
Speaker 1: is Trump administration cuts UNI funding university funding. Uh so
Speaker 1: uh apparently we were Now now I understand too that
Speaker 1: it is not uncommon for US university or research facility
Speaker 1: to partner with something in Australia or the UK or
Speaker 1: really all over the world. Right, how many studies that
Speaker 1: we talked about where it's like for the University of
Speaker 1: Vermont and the you know, the the you know then
Speaker 1: insert whatever the Koala Institute of Canberra, right and and
Speaker 1: and then it's a university thing. I understand that. So
Speaker 1: the problem is here the Trump administration, the funding these
Speaker 1: these dollars that the FEDS were setting to Australia, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, Ross, would you check and see is
Speaker 1: Australia third world country or are they a first world country?
Speaker 1: Ros's gonna look this up, because like we're not. This
Speaker 1: isn't Nairobi, right, this isn't Yemen, this isn't Haiti. This
Speaker 1: is a country that has money and stead but the
Speaker 1: money was going to these universities, and the universities were
Speaker 1: continuing to maintain these really woke research parameters right all
Speaker 1: in on all the trans stuff, all in and then
Speaker 1: and then they would direct the money to do that.
Speaker 1: And Trump's just like, one, a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: even know we're setting all these research dollars to Australia,
Speaker 1: and two now you're using it for things that we
Speaker 1: here in the United States have also precluded our public
Speaker 1: universities from using the money for. So why should you
Speaker 1: get a pass just because you're not here? And again,
Speaker 1: it's insane where we were sending Australia six hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars annually for research and then he cuts it off cold.
Speaker 1: But this one quote from the woman who runs this stuff. Honestly,
Speaker 1: they shouldn't let this woman ever visit the US. All right,
Speaker 1: hold on, it's a little later in the article here.
Speaker 1: It just made me so angry. Oh, and a lot
Speaker 1: of the money's going to a bunch of Marxist equity stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, just everything under the sun you don't want.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought I had the quote in here. Basically
Speaker 1: it was a woman saying that they are the Trump
Speaker 1: can't do that because they are they're owed that money,
Speaker 1: And I just got so mad. Here we go, Alison Barnes,
Speaker 1: the federal government must push back on the Trump administration's
Speaker 1: blatant foreign interference in our independence research in the strongest
Speaker 1: possible terms. How is it independent research If we're giving
Speaker 1: you six hundred million, that doesn't sound independent. If somebody
Speaker 1: if you want to do independent research, then you would
Speaker 1: do it independently of us. And and by the way,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that people in research facilities and settings
Speaker 1: and academia shouldn't be able to share information and work together.
Speaker 1: And yes, I understand there's an inherent cost, but you
Speaker 1: shouldn't need the federal government just for the getting to
Speaker 1: know you connection. You can do this on zoom. You
Speaker 1: can get an airline ticket. I told you my grandfather
Speaker 1: was a college professor. He would have never made it
Speaker 1: nowadays because he wasn't woke. He was because he was
Speaker 1: a numbers guy. He was an accounting guy, and he
Speaker 1: did when I was when I was about ten, he
Speaker 1: did a professor exchange in aust earlier. So he went
Speaker 1: over and did a semester at an Australian university, and
Speaker 1: I guess somebody came from Australia to his I guess.
Speaker 1: But you know that was That was cool man, That
Speaker 1: was fine, and do all that stuff. But why should
Speaker 1: taxpayers give you six hundred million dollars so that you
Speaker 1: can do studies on uh, you know, Marxist indoctrination, trans
Speaker 1: studies and woke you know, woke garbage, DEI garbage when
Speaker 1: US universities now can't do that because we've deemed it
Speaker 1: a waste of money and divisive to say the very least.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't want to hear any of this.
Speaker 1: And oh they've got to. They've got a demand he
Speaker 1: does it for our independent stuff, which is clearly not independent.
Speaker 1: You should go talk to somebody in the English department
Speaker 1: to see what that word means, unless it means something
Speaker 1: different in Australia, which I don't believe it does because
Speaker 1: they speak English Ish kind of there's some words that
Speaker 1: I had to look up from time to time. But
Speaker 1: uh no, no, no, no, you don't get your money. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, very good, and then real quickly, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be super delicate on this, but I just like it's
Speaker 1: a personal responsibility thing. So I'm not gonna get into
Speaker 1: all the gory details. But I'm gonna ask you all
Speaker 1: the question if and this is for those of you
Speaker 1: who are not doctors. Okay, so if you're not a doctor,
Speaker 1: here's your question. If you put a plastic bag over
Speaker 1: somebody's head and you seal it off so no air
Speaker 1: can get in and out, do you think that that
Speaker 1: could injure them and or kill them? Of course you do.
Speaker 1: How many movies have you seen where somebody that's happens, right,
Speaker 1: Remember they tried to kill John Wick that way? Okay,
Speaker 1: didn't work out, by the way, didn't work out, spoiler.
Speaker 1: My point is everyone should know this. So what you
Speaker 1: have is you have this woman in California who is
Speaker 1: a she's a BDSM prostitute. That's his graphy, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get so she's doing all the weird stuff people
Speaker 1: are paying her for it, which I guess is legal
Speaker 1: in California. I don't know how. So this guy comes
Speaker 1: over and she wraps his entire body in saran wrap,
Speaker 1: and he requested having his eyes glued shut with gorilla glue,
Speaker 1: and then she also placed something in his mouth to
Speaker 1: obstruct his airway and he died. And she's like surprised.
Speaker 1: She goes, oh, and I'm like, she's what, how old?
Speaker 1: Twenty nine thirty? How do you not thirty one? How
Speaker 1: do you not know? Wrapping somebody completely in a non
Speaker 1: breathable material, jamming something in their airway and gorilla gluing
Speaker 1: their eyeball shut might injure them. And now she's facing
Speaker 1: second degree murder charges and people are online going, well,
Speaker 1: this is what he wanted? This is what is it?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Did he want to die? He was
Speaker 1: so immobilized that they say that he couldn't move a
Speaker 1: finger and you couldn't see if he blinks. So yeah,
Speaker 1: she's probably gonna do some time, even in who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe in California. The letter off. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it's like not having any personal responsibility. It's beyond me.
Speaker 1: Somebody wants to pay me, and I, well, what do
Speaker 1: you want? They're like, I want you to cover me
Speaker 1: in spray insulation foam and put one of those easy
Speaker 1: bakeup AND's on my business. No, no, because I'm an
Speaker 1: adult and I can think this stuff through. But now
Speaker 1: she's the Saran rap killer and that's her moniker. I guess.
Speaker 1: So whether be she'll be convicted, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: the world is just losing its mind. We'll be back.
Speaker 1: Who's an anesthesiologist from Los Angeles, posted an Instagram video
Speaker 1: which then went everywhere and people were debating this, and
Speaker 1: he issued an urgent warning against kissing men with beards,
Speaker 1: which I took personally because I have a beard. Ross
Speaker 1: has a beard. A lot of people have a beard,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I know a lot of women
Speaker 1: who like dudes with beard. Honestly. The only reason I
Speaker 1: grew a beard back in the day, and it was
Speaker 1: a long time ago, is like the girl I was
Speaker 1: dating at the time said yeah, I think you look
Speaker 1: good with a beard, and I went, well, I don't
Speaker 1: like shaven every day anyway, Let's see how it goes.
Speaker 1: And look, some guys can grow a beard in some
Speaker 1: guys can't. I'm not necessarily gonna make fun of him,
Speaker 1: but this guy clearly looks like a dude who couldn't
Speaker 1: grow a beard. So I think he's.
Speaker 2: Jealous, maybe he's concerned. Maybe he's talking about like Rob
Speaker 2: Zombie type beards. Remember when Rob Zombie back in the day.
Speaker 2: It's like an older story like Whaled where they they
Speaker 2: found a new form of species of flea and his beard.
Speaker 1: I bet that flea was metal af Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh yeah, they got bacteria and all that.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, first of all, why are you
Speaker 1: a bigot? What about women with beards? I've seen that
Speaker 1: few of those in my time, but but whatever. But also,
Speaker 1: if you don't look like you can grow a beard,
Speaker 1: I know I'm not gonna listen to you because I
Speaker 1: think you're just jealous of us who can so. And again, also,
Speaker 1: I don't think women who like dudes with beards are
Speaker 1: gonna stop, you know, kissing their husbands or boyfriends or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's gonna work. But oh no, man,
Speaker 1: sometimes let's let's get to something really manly, shall we.
Speaker 1: All Right, so I'm gonna probably mispronounce the name. I
Speaker 1: can never say the name of this cruise cruise cruise
Speaker 1: ship company, and actually I don't even think they're independent anymore.
Speaker 1: I think Royal Caribbean or somebody bought them Canard Canard,
Speaker 1: which I don't know if you know the history of Canard.
Speaker 1: They ended up buying a company that the White Whatever Lines.
Speaker 1: You probably know the company. They were the ones who
Speaker 1: owned the Titanic and so this was post Titanic though,
Speaker 1: so they ended up absorbing that. One of the more
Speaker 1: famous ships that they run is what's called the Queen
Speaker 1: Mary Too, which is the only a transatlantic ocean liner.
Speaker 1: It's not a cruise ship. I got corrected on this.
Speaker 1: A cruise ship is just two cruise and it really
Speaker 1: doesn't have a formal reason, whereas an ocean liner is
Speaker 1: a is meant to transport passengers from one place to another.
Speaker 1: You know, with a cruise ship, you go back to
Speaker 1: where you started, so that's a cruise. An ocean liner
Speaker 1: goes from in this case New York to somewhere in
Speaker 1: the UK. I don't even know where it goes into.
Speaker 1: And people can go and and they're really expensive. The
Speaker 1: Canard ships are really really expensive. And I point that
Speaker 1: out because they have some new super expensive ship and
Speaker 1: it's on its maiden voyage. It's one hundred and eleven
Speaker 1: days long, and it's ungodly expensive. In fact, I think
Speaker 1: that one of the I think one of the state
Speaker 1: rooms was seven hundred thousand dollars. So you're dealing with
Speaker 1: some people who got some got some money, and they're
Speaker 1: going all over the world. All right, So why am
Speaker 1: I telling you the story? Because they ran into an
Speaker 1: interesting problem. So due to weather and where they were
Speaker 1: having to do, they ended up having to deviate as
Speaker 1: part of where they were in Southeast Asia. And you
Speaker 1: may not realize this, but much like there are Somali pirates,
Speaker 1: there are problematic pirate areas in Southeast Asia, and then
Speaker 1: ships normally don't go through them. They didn't have a choice,
Speaker 1: I guess. So on this ship filled with all these
Speaker 1: really really you know wealthy people paid all this money,
Speaker 1: and I don't begrudge them. Right, if you can afford it,
Speaker 1: you want to do it, go ahead. They had to
Speaker 1: issue a warning to the passengers that they are going
Speaker 1: to be sailing through pirate waters and restrict their ability
Speaker 1: to basically go in a bunch of places on this
Speaker 1: ship in case pirates pull up and start firing on
Speaker 1: the damn ship. And I'm like, do you believe that?
Speaker 1: Because I look, if you have people that can pay
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars for a cabin on a cruise,
Speaker 1: they probably hunt the most dangerous game anyway, right, so
Speaker 1: like they got to be in heaven. Here's some dude
Speaker 1: that rich you got pirates to shoot at. You know,
Speaker 1: there's this meme that always comes up and it's not true,
Speaker 1: but I see this story. I don't memes the wrong word,
Speaker 1: but I see this story where the story is like
Speaker 1: Russia Russia. There's a Russia cruise company that goes to
Speaker 1: Somalia just so rich Russians can shoot Somali pirates. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, I've seen some videos of guys who
Speaker 1: run protection on some shipping stuff absolutely demolish Samali pirate boats.
Speaker 1: There's lots of videos out there. But in this case,
Speaker 1: can you imagine you're on your carnival cruise, right, you
Speaker 1: got the drink package, You're just being an absolute nuisance,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they're like, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: for the next six hours we're gonna be We're gonna
Speaker 1: be cruising through pirate infested waters. I think dudes be
Speaker 1: up on the deck just waiting to throw stuff at him,
Speaker 1: hammered as people get on cruise ships. But no, they
Speaker 1: had a little bit of problems there. And one other
Speaker 1: travel story is I want to pair these together, and
Speaker 1: this is crazy. United's probably gonna get sued over this man.
Speaker 1: So United to here we go. United Airlines flight from
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to Shanghai, so you know, us to China
Speaker 1: had to turn around on Saturday about two hours over
Speaker 1: the ocean. So it had departed from lax got about
Speaker 1: an hour and forty five minutes actually out over the ocean,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden announced to the people
Speaker 1: on board that they were having to turn back due
Speaker 1: to and I want to be very specific how they
Speaker 1: sold it to them. They had to go ahead and
Speaker 1: turn back due to a crew issue, that's all they said.
Speaker 1: And they ended up they didn't go to La actual.
Speaker 1: They flew actually to San Francisco, swapped out a crew
Speaker 1: and then left and then about six hours late. They
Speaker 1: were six hours late getting into Shanghai. All right, so
Speaker 1: what happened? The pilot for god is passport? How does
Speaker 1: that happen? Have you have you guys flown international? You
Speaker 1: have to verify your passport. You have to physit well,
Speaker 1: I get you can do it on the app. Sometimes
Speaker 1: mine will never scan on the app when I've done it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's my passport being a pain.
Speaker 1: And they always say I have to go up to
Speaker 1: the desk or whatever, or you have to show it
Speaker 1: at the gate when you boord. And this is United.
Speaker 1: I've flown United International, so the flight crew doesn't. And
Speaker 1: also why do they have to have it? Because you
Speaker 1: know what happens if you land somewhere and you're denied
Speaker 1: entry because I guess either you don't have a passport
Speaker 1: or I don't know, you're on some criminal list of
Speaker 1: some sort. They just don't let you in. They take
Speaker 1: you to a little air I've literally seen this. I
Speaker 1: saw this when I was flying back from during COVID
Speaker 1: or when they were still flying but it was masters required.
Speaker 1: I was flying back to Miami. It was one of
Speaker 1: the trips down to Costa Rica. And I'm flying back
Speaker 1: and I'm on this flight. It's seven in the morning,
Speaker 1: very early flight into Miami and then Miami to Raleigh.
Speaker 1: And this dude is he is a Costa Rican citizen.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know, they have to apply for
Speaker 1: and get a visa a lot of countries in Latin America.
Speaker 1: Obviously they can't just come to the US except under
Speaker 1: Biden they can, but this is the legal way and
Speaker 1: it's really hard to get. So this guy had a
Speaker 1: ten year visa and he got drunk on Bloody Mary's
Speaker 1: at like seven thirty in the morning, and they refused
Speaker 1: to wear his mask and started screaming. And so when
Speaker 1: we got there, we weren't. It was not your standard
Speaker 1: deboording deplaning, right because I'm actually sitting forward of this guy.
Speaker 1: So normally when you're sitting sitting for I'm like sit
Speaker 1: in a row like eight, like two rows back into
Speaker 1: like economy plus, and he's sitting like way towards the back.
Speaker 1: But you could hear him the whole thing screaming, and
Speaker 1: I remember talking the flight of time, like what's gonna happen?
Speaker 1: She goes all right, So everyone needs to remain seated.
Speaker 1: They came on, they air marshaled that dude off and
Speaker 1: he loses his visa and then they take him to
Speaker 1: a little holding area. They put him on the next
Speaker 1: flight and send him home, and he never flies into
Speaker 1: the US again. On a on a legacy carrier, so
Speaker 1: so it doesn't have to be as drastic as that.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why the pilot can't land, not be
Speaker 1: allowed to clear customs, and just put on a flight
Speaker 1: back out of China next, which is what would happen
Speaker 1: to a passenger who somehow showed up with a passport
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't accept. So no, they inconvenienced everyone for
Speaker 1: well two hours to turn around, six hours total, and
Speaker 1: United offer him fifteen dollars meal vouchers for their troubles.
Speaker 1: So everyone's like super upset over that. So we'll see
Speaker 1: you we'll see how that pans out. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody who's a pilot can explain that to me, like,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you just keep flying? Dude doesn't need to
Speaker 1: enter in, put them on a flight back, and maybe
Speaker 1: discipline them for screwing that up. But no, you screwed
Speaker 1: everybody else up for six hours. I don't get that.
Speaker 1: All right, Ken Boon from the Weather Channel, he's here too.
Speaker 1: I'll help keep you on schedule for the day with
Speaker 1: what the weather's going to do. Ken, what do we
Speaker 1: got good morning?
Speaker 5: Well, we've got cloudy breezy and a little cooler temperatures today,
Speaker 5: some scattered showers and storms for us here today, we've
Speaker 5: got a cold fund it's kind of pushing through. Best
Speaker 5: chance for those will be from about eleven am on
Speaker 5: into and through the afternoon hours. Temperatures today reaching highs
Speaker 5: in the mid part of the sixties. The rest of
Speaker 5: the week does look pretty good, though, decreasing clouds overnight
Speaker 5: tonight in mid forties, sunny Tomorrow, low seventies. We could
Speaker 5: see a few showers overnight Tuesday night, but by Wednesday
Speaker 5: we're back to sunshine, and we'll be a little cooler
Speaker 5: through midweek. Mid sixties Wednesday, sunny, mid sixties Thursday, and
Speaker 5: then warming back up for Friday and next weekend. Temperatures
Speaker 5: on Friday in the middle part of the seventies and
Speaker 5: we could see eighties Saturday, Sunday, next weekend with sunshine.
Speaker 1: All right, hey, Ken, appreciate it. You with us tomorrow, sir.
Speaker 5: No, race should be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, well we'll step yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: thanks man, appreciate it. All right, we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: come back. We will come back with Jeff Bellinger next.
Speaker 1: Hang on, let's get things rolling business wise with Jeff

Speaker 16: which offer comfortable seating and free food and drinks, have
Speaker 16: attracted many more passengers since the panic ended, and as

Speaker 16: will solve this problem. Couple of retailers are among the
Speaker 16: latest companies to drop diversity language from their reports to investors.
Speaker 16: Home Depot eliminated most of a section on diversity from

Speaker 1: Casey, all right, still not into the pickleball, but I
Speaker 1: know some people who go nuts for that. So what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? All right, Jeff, you ever played pickleball?
Speaker 10: Man?
Speaker 2: I have not?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 16: Okay, all right, I've never golfed or played tennis either,
Speaker 16: for that matters?
Speaker 5: What what?
Speaker 1: What? You never golf? No, dude, We're gonna get you
Speaker 1: in a tournament or something. Just so I can watch.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll figure okay, I appreciate care by Yeah, Ross,
Speaker 1: have you ever played pickleball, tennis, or golf? Any one
Speaker 1: of the three?
Speaker 2: Tennis and uh, what was the other one?
Speaker 1: Golf?
Speaker 2: Golf?
Speaker 1: Pickleball golf?
Speaker 2: Count?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, why not?
Speaker 2: Yes? So two out of three.
Speaker 1: So Jeff's never done any of those things.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that that's not possible.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it is. Who knows? All Right,
Speaker 1: real quick, just to show you how dishonest the media is.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Carl's got Tom Homan on there, and they're running
Speaker 1: this narrative that the Venezuelan gang bangers that they took
Speaker 1: to El Salvador. There's a big mix up and some
Speaker 1: of like one of them, he's not he's a fan
Speaker 1: of Real Real Madrid. Sorry, it's soccer. I don't care
Speaker 1: to pronounce it. But and the tattoos alone shouldn't be
Speaker 1: an indicator. Now, the dishonesty is the tattoos alone aren't
Speaker 1: tattoos are an indicator. And then there is a whole
Speaker 1: thing where they go through social media, they pair with
Speaker 1: undercover law enforcement videos for unidentified people have been part
Speaker 1: of gang activities. It's much more thorough than that. But
Speaker 1: the media's decided that rather than the government being the
Speaker 1: starting point, and then it's up to others to prove
Speaker 1: that they're wrong, they're going to start with what the
Speaker 1: family says. It's absolute insanity. And I'll explain why.
Speaker 13: Here's the specific example is somebody that was on that
Speaker 13: on one of those flights. His name is Jersey Reys Barrios.
Speaker 13: He is a professional was a professional soccer player in Venezuela.
Speaker 2: And his lawyer says.
Speaker 13: That he was caught up in this because he had
Speaker 13: a tattoo that that he said was chosen because it
Speaker 13: is a tattoo that that is similar to the logo
Speaker 13: of his famous favorite soccer team.
Speaker 1: All right, and and I'm gonna stop it there because
Speaker 1: because Holman then blows it out of the water. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing that's not It's not the only thing too.
Speaker 1: The the intertwining of soccer clubs in Latin America and
Speaker 1: criminal organizations is extensive. In fact, there was one time
Speaker 1: Columbia's main teams were owned by all the cartels. Okay,
Speaker 1: and the same as in Venezuela. And secondly, they have
Speaker 1: much more on this dude than just one single tattoo,
Speaker 1: and and I've also seen where it says, well, the
Speaker 1: tattoo looks similar. I would encourage any member of John
Speaker 1: Carl's news agency to get tattoos that are gang tattoos
Speaker 1: but are not members of the gang. This is what
Speaker 1: they're arguing, and go to an area where a lot
Speaker 1: of the gang members are and let me know how
Speaker 1: that goes for you. Stroll in to an area controlled
Speaker 1: by the bloods or crips. Right, we'll get out of
Speaker 1: that with a bunch of blood crypt tattoos, but not
Speaker 1: be in the gang. Walk around showing your tattoos and
Speaker 1: let me know how that works for you. Because you're
Speaker 1: a journalist, do it, do the undercover. It's nice knowing you.
Speaker 1: So these for people to walk around in gang riddled
Speaker 1: areas with gang tattoos to pretend that they're not part
Speaker 1: of the gang because their lawyer said it is insane
Speaker 1: to me, but that's the argument they made. And finally,
Speaker 1: speaking of Latin America, archaeologists have excavated a pyramid twenty
Speaker 1: four hundred years old and underneath it dating to four
Speaker 1: hundred BC. This is in El Salvador, and they found
Speaker 1: a bunch of masks and puppets too. How come nobody's
Speaker 1: put Can I fly over there and put the mask on?
Speaker 1: So I have powers? Right? That's how that works. That's
Speaker 1: what I know.
Speaker 2: Ross.
Speaker 1: You want to put a twenty four hundred year old
Speaker 1: mask they just found under a pyramid?
Speaker 2: Uh on? Immediately?
Speaker 1: Yes? Is it green? It doesn't look green, it looks grave. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the worst that could happen? Now, you're an ancient god, right.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that the thing in Suicide Squad? Right,
