Speaker 1: I mean absolutely insane as hold on here. Oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: not the stock market. Well, we'll talk about that stuff.
Speaker 1: I think there was a a an update or something
Speaker 1: on tariffs or what. I'll look that up. It's Masters.
Speaker 1: It's Masters Thursday. That's right, and I couldn't be more excited.
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm just hold on here. I want to
Speaker 1: see the first heat. Time is I thought I was
Speaker 1: a screwed around on the Paramount plus app because CBS
Speaker 1: is broadcasting the Masters this year, and here we go.
Speaker 1: I think they have some coverage that literally starts as
Speaker 1: early as six thirty. So if you need something but
Speaker 1: no sound in the background, we listened to this show
Speaker 1: and you got access to it, I guess fine, but uh,
Speaker 1: just give me the damn tee times. By the way,
Speaker 1: the Masters app continues to be elite. You want to
Speaker 1: hear the whitest middle aged dude story ever. So one
Speaker 1: of the things I like to do, like the night
Speaker 1: before the Masters, so last night. If if you register,
Speaker 1: if you download, it's absolutely free. The Masters they have
Speaker 1: their own app, and you register on it. It doesn't
Speaker 1: cost you anything. You can watch tons of classic Masters.
Speaker 1: In fact, you can watch the final round of the
Speaker 1: Masters of every year. Going back, I scrolled back as
Speaker 1: far as eighty six, which if you remember, was kind
Speaker 1: of a really really really important one with oh, there's
Speaker 1: so many to choose from, so many to choose from,
Speaker 1: just great Masters. Two thousand and one was when Tiger
Speaker 1: Grand slammed it. Ninety six I think is when he
Speaker 1: came in as a young punk and destroyed, I mean,
Speaker 1: just destroyed everybody. But eighty six. Jack Nicholas shot a
Speaker 1: thirty on the back nine, which, if you know anything
Speaker 1: about the Masters, is absolutely nuts. So I was kind
Speaker 1: of I pick a classic one to kind of put
Speaker 1: on on that app And I've done this for a
Speaker 1: few years now ever since I discovered they have a
Speaker 1: whole library of this stuff. So yesterday I watched Phil
Speaker 1: Mickelson's first major win, which was a really crazy Masters, yes,
Speaker 1: for four hours in the background kind of when I
Speaker 1: was doing prap to then when I was getting ready
Speaker 1: to nod off, I was watching something that took place
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, and it was great or more than
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Well I'm trying. Yeah, I can't remember
Speaker 1: which year it was before I plugged it in there,
Speaker 1: but yeah, there's a lot of good ones to choose from.
Speaker 1: So oh, there's that, there's the playoff with Tiger and
Speaker 1: a yell there is or not Tiger and on yell,
Speaker 1: there's oh, let's see here, there's like three really good Tiger.
Speaker 1: One arguably the twenty nineteen when he came back and
Speaker 1: just won for no reason. That's crazy. Maybe I'll watch
Speaker 1: that one next year. But Nicholas in eighty six Sunday Surge,
Speaker 1: that's where you should start, if you know, if you
Speaker 1: want just saying, but yeah, we'll get to uh, we'll
Speaker 1: get to that coming up here, and then yeah, these
Speaker 1: guys are gonna get cracking. So why would you tell
Speaker 1: me that that's had the tea times here on this
Speaker 1: website and then not show tea times, you absolute fool.
Speaker 1: Google is just is so bad. All right, here we go,
Speaker 1: Here we go. This is what I wanted to figure out,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you. All right, So seven forty is
Speaker 1: the first I saw it, Ross, I told you seven
Speaker 1: thirty seven forty. So I also found out that our
Speaker 1: master's music was not in the system anymore. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if somebody's screwing with stuff, but don't worry.
Speaker 1: That tradition will continue. Ross just had to dub it
Speaker 1: in because I didn't think about it until right before
Speaker 1: we started, and then it's not there anymore. So that's
Speaker 1: probably not a problem, all right. So who you picking?
Speaker 1: Who do you like?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Way, Boston, Paul's already got his pick in. He's going
Speaker 1: justin Thomas. Dad's a pretty good pick. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: good pick. Ross, who you got?
Speaker 3: You ask me every year, I give you the same answer.
Speaker 1: I'm going with Lee Trevino, I know, but I'm hoping
Speaker 1: answers somebody playing. I don't think Trevino's in the field.
Speaker 1: Do you understand how it would be hard for him
Speaker 1: to win the Green Jacket? Not?
Speaker 3: Is he retired?
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean no, you have a lifetime did
Speaker 1: you win the Man, You have a lifetime exemption, a
Speaker 1: lifetime exemption into the end of the field, so it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. As long as you can still swing a club,
Speaker 1: you can still show up. It's the only tournament that
Speaker 1: does that yet. I think you get a five year
Speaker 1: exemption into the other majors, which obviously is very helpful
Speaker 1: if you're a golfer, but you will always be allowed
Speaker 1: to golf at the Masters, So yeah, but I'll check.
Speaker 1: I'm pro I'm pretty sure to READO not in the field.
Speaker 1: That's okay. For Ross is just about the green jacket.
Speaker 1: All he wants is the green jacket or multiple green
Speaker 1: jackets to stack them for benefits. At what did we
Speaker 1: decide its Olive Garden Hooters? Well, Hooters don't for much longer. Maybe, No.
Speaker 3: It goes back to our conversation yesterday about Olive Garden
Speaker 3: being a luxury, high end dining. Right, so if you
Speaker 3: win the Masters, you get a twenty five percent count
Speaker 3: at Olive Garden, which is right there outside Augusta.
Speaker 1: There is a bunch of fast casual right outside of Augusta.
Speaker 3: Yeah, driven past it before. So if you put four
Speaker 3: of them on right, you can get one hundred percent
Speaker 3: off at Olive Garden. So that's the reason you want
Speaker 3: to win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is a lot of perks.
Speaker 3: You know, Chili's is down to ten percent, which is
Speaker 3: really sad.
Speaker 1: Well, it's how they have fallen. Yeah, so that's not true.
Speaker 1: But but you do get. You do get. You get
Speaker 1: to go to the Winter's locker room. You get access
Speaker 1: to it, which there's very few people living allowed to
Speaker 1: go in there. They give you that they give you
Speaker 1: a trophy that is a recreation of the clubhouse, which
Speaker 1: is very cool if you've ever seen one, but the
Speaker 1: the locket. Most people don't know about this, so they
Speaker 1: give this solid gold lockett with the picture of ah
Speaker 1: one of the I'm trying to remember one of one
Speaker 1: of the old gall in there, and it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be for the wags, right, so you win, then you
Speaker 1: give it to your wife or your girlfriend. But a
Speaker 1: couple of them have hit the market because of bad divorces.
Speaker 1: So from a collector's item standpoint, it's almost easier to
Speaker 1: get an authentic green jacket, even though they're not supposed
Speaker 1: to be leave the club, with the exception of whoever
Speaker 1: the current champion is, they do end up in circulation
Speaker 1: with those lockets are not easy to get.
Speaker 3: Have we seen any of that crap going around that
Speaker 3: we see every year where people are like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: you know it's a racist event because it's called the Masters.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure they're out there this year, but
Speaker 1: they're kind of like that guy when I was interviewing
Speaker 1: protesters at the RNC who was out there protesting over
Speaker 1: the non US's non intervention and the reunification of Ireland,
Speaker 1: Like they're gonna be there, but nobody's really talking to them,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, the good old days
Speaker 1: were even before the race stuff was the women's stuff,
Speaker 1: which is why the Masters broadcast the way that it
Speaker 1: does now. And I want to thank you lunatics for that.
Speaker 1: The reason when you watch the Masters you have limited
Speaker 1: commercial interruptions and they handle everything internally is because the
Speaker 1: National Organization of Women decided they were to come down
Speaker 1: there and they were gonna and they were gonna make
Speaker 1: a stink over the fact that women were not admitted
Speaker 1: as club members. And they did two things. One the
Speaker 1: Master said, screw you who who or whatever his name was,
Speaker 1: used to be the head of Augusta. We're just gonna
Speaker 1: do this thing. And since we're gonna handle an internal
Speaker 1: you can't even pressure people. And remember they didn't know
Speaker 1: they did no commercial interruptions for years. And also that
Speaker 1: was famously when they arrested a dude for like taunting
Speaker 1: the protesters. When he got arrested and he gave the
Speaker 1: name of he would and last name is j O
Speaker 1: blo m E. Sound that out on your own, hey,
Speaker 1: would juh b l O M e and it made
Speaker 1: it into the police report, and then it made it
Speaker 1: into the reporting by like ABC, CBS, and NBC before
Speaker 1: anyone figured it out. Legend a lot of people like Rory. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing him
Speaker 1: win it. I mean, Scheffler's got to be the dude, right,
Speaker 1: justin Thomas Scheffler. McElroy maybe he's never won the Masters,
Speaker 1: So for Rory, I mean it's it is a if
Speaker 1: he wants to. He's won the other three, but he's
Speaker 1: never won the Masters, so we'll find out. Very excited
Speaker 1: about that. I looked at some of the some of
Speaker 1: the experts for whatever it's worth. Yeah, McElroy's plus six hundred.
Speaker 1: Not that you would ever gamble on this, but if
Speaker 1: you wanted to, Uh, he is one of the odds
Speaker 1: on favorites at six hundred. Let's see here. Oh those
Speaker 1: are top ten bets. Yeah. You gotta be careful with
Speaker 1: the props. I I well, obviously for golf, props are good.
Speaker 1: Did you know that some lawmakers in North Carolina put
Speaker 1: a bill in. I don't know that it's going to
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Since we have sports gambling now that want
Speaker 1: to make it illegal to bet props. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: What on God's green earth are you doing? Either we
Speaker 1: have it or we don't. You don't get to call Oh,
Speaker 1: you don't get to bet props? All right, So if
Speaker 1: you don't know what a prop bet is, it's like
Speaker 1: it's instead of betting on the game or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: you would bet on an individual is one way to
Speaker 1: do a prop that you do props for everything. You
Speaker 1: can do a prop bet for the coin flip at
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But I guess they're well, if you
Speaker 1: individualize it, then people can rig the system. And it's like,
Speaker 1: why shouldn't we be able to compete with the refs?
Speaker 1: The hell are you talking about? So you can go
Speaker 1: And it's like it's like when I was doing I
Speaker 1: do the commercials during the football season for DraftKings, Right,
Speaker 1: if you want to go on there, you know you
Speaker 1: can bet who's going to score a touchdown who's not.
Speaker 1: That's just an example of a prop bit. But you
Speaker 1: can still bet on the things. I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're talking about. So if if if Ross wanted to
Speaker 1: put all of his money on Lee Trevino to win today,
Speaker 1: good luck with that. I guess he could, but you
Speaker 1: probably probably should put it in there in back in
Speaker 1: the e coin or whatever his major investment vehicle is.
Speaker 1: So and and Trevino has never won the tournament, so
Speaker 1: it doesn't have a He doesn't have an automatic exemption yet,
Speaker 1: so no, I did what did he in? He won
Speaker 1: all the other three though, he's kind of like Rory
Speaker 1: but also Lee. Trevino famously has beef with Augusta, so
Speaker 1: I don't know what's up with that. Not a winner,
Speaker 1: not a winner. Ross also said last year Green Jacket
Speaker 1: winners also eat a Denny's for free. Really, I don't
Speaker 1: think he said that as usual. We'll go to all right,
Speaker 1: there we go. Yeah, no, there's gonna be golf. You
Speaker 1: all can just suck it up and deal with it, Okay,
Speaker 1: but don't worry. We've got other stories too. Apparently the
Speaker 1: entire economic system in the US didn't crumble yesterday, so
Speaker 1: there's that. And then Ross, did you see everyone on
Speaker 1: Twitter doing their meniculpas saying they were wrong and apologizing?
Speaker 3: You know, you know he sure did not oh on
Speaker 3: Twitter yesterday or well especially on Facebook. I sent under
Speaker 3: that because because what I mean, because then you'd have
Speaker 3: to admit you were wrong, and it's very hard to do.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I just assumed they'd be out there going hey,
Speaker 1: because I remember on this show, I believe your words
Speaker 1: were not worried at all. To quote you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, there's no part of me that's worried about
Speaker 3: it at all, especially after the past five years. There's
Speaker 3: no part.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So now it's now now we're you know, you
Speaker 1: got a critic You got to criticize some methodology, which
Speaker 1: is fine, you can go ahead and do that. But
Speaker 1: he's still got ten he's still got ten percent across
Speaker 1: the board tariffs they're going to negotiate, and China is
Speaker 1: f sideway.
Speaker 3: No, it's a fantastic deal. It's fantastic all the way
Speaker 3: around ten percent, one hundred and twenty five percent in China.
Speaker 3: But you're going to still have people that are not
Speaker 3: gonna they're gonna be too shortsighted to not see what
Speaker 3: just happened. Like, they're not going to either they're going
Speaker 3: to refuse to realize it, or they're going to be like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: you know, he caved, which is not what happened at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. If you yeah, if after ninety days he doesn't
Speaker 1: have a deal. We're gonna start the conversation about all right,
Speaker 1: well we can't. We're at an impasse and we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to go down this road again.
Speaker 3: Well it seems like it's gonna be ten percent. But
Speaker 3: I mean, the the goal, right, seems to be that
Speaker 3: what we're really looking for is the coupling from China.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's the main thing. Absolutely, absolutely, there is
Speaker 1: a there's some chick. I retweeted her video. I said,
Speaker 1: I did and send it. I don't think I sent
Speaker 1: it to Ross and she's as apoplectic because she started
Speaker 1: her fast you know, uh, fast fashion, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that. What does fast fashion mean?
Speaker 1: Doesn't that just mean cheap clothes that you throw away
Speaker 1: from Timu? I don't even know what the phrase means.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fashionista. I mean I look good, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. But I can do it in Uh basically,
Speaker 1: I own six to eight of the same shirts, just
Speaker 1: in different colors. Works great, perfect for the radio guy
Speaker 1: on the go. So I don't know anything. But she
Speaker 1: ordered all the stuff in China. She goes, Oh, I
Speaker 1: ordered China and Vietnam because that's where the best stuff
Speaker 1: comes from. And I'm like, that's the that's the problem here, man,
Speaker 1: that's the problem here. That's where the quick stuff comes.
Speaker 1: That's not where the best stuff comes necessarily. And if
Speaker 1: you did it with Vietnam, you're probably okay because they're
Speaker 1: one of the ones negotiating.
Speaker 3: You know, it's all crap and his slave labor. I
Speaker 3: was pissed off because I just started building my factory
Speaker 3: yesterday before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really bad time, you know. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have like a consultant turned advisor.
Speaker 3: I thought it was the time, so I want to
Speaker 3: build a.
Speaker 1: By the by the dip and you just assumed that
Speaker 1: meant factories too. R. Wow, wow, you have made mistakes
Speaker 1: were made, Yes, I would say, so, all right, well
Speaker 1: maybe now we gotta go to war with them, so
Speaker 1: uh yeah, but we are of a trade war of
Speaker 1: varietal and China is a hose man. They were the
Speaker 1: ones selling off all those treasuries that were driving the
Speaker 1: yield up the other day, which was a little weird.
Speaker 1: They're dumping them because their currency is collapsing. So he
Speaker 1: got them by the by the short hairs. Anyway, we'll
Speaker 1: get into more of the coming up. CaCO Day Radio program.
Speaker 3: This is the hardest day for me to pay attention,
Speaker 3: and I really have to push myself not to fall
Speaker 3: asleep because I'm so disinterested in golf and I know
Speaker 3: nothing about the subject matters, So I sort of have
Speaker 3: to smelling salts and just sort of like during the break.
Speaker 1: Once the audience or the galleries to be able to
Speaker 1: trash talk the golfer's wilder swing. It'd be better, yes,
Speaker 1: because you can yell at football and basketball.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: It brings you joy, So it's fine. But just you know,
Speaker 3: it's a hard It's hard for me to focus. I
Speaker 3: just start falling asleep.
Speaker 1: I would say that. I would say the only harder
Speaker 1: day really is that last day before our super vacation
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. In correct terms of
Speaker 1: give a crap. You know, it's kind of like when
Speaker 1: it was the last day of school when you were
Speaker 1: a kid. You didn't accomplish anything like get me out
Speaker 1: of here. So all right, so Ross is putting through it. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Our listeners sent me a picture. Let me go back
Speaker 1: to this on the Twitter.
Speaker 3: I retweeted it, Oh yeah, I saw some guy with
Speaker 3: a hobo at a Hooters or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some guy with a hobo says, my son was
Speaker 1: at Augusta for the practice Forroun. Unfortunately there was they
Speaker 1: had rain earlier this week. I don't know which was
Speaker 1: he a Tuesday or Wednesday, It doesn't matter, but he
Speaker 1: was able to score himself a picture across the street
Speaker 1: over there. I don't know, is that at the Hooters
Speaker 1: he used to set up with the parking lot of
Speaker 1: the hoot. Yeah, that's the Hooters. I see the orange
Speaker 1: door behind his head. So yeah, so they're inside a
Speaker 1: lot of times. John Daly's outside with his bus there,
Speaker 1: and so he went over and got a picture with him.
Speaker 1: So if we had a small part in inspiring that
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, we're good. And even
Speaker 1: though Ross doesn't care about golf, John Daly and Hooters
Speaker 1: at least are Yeah, he can get on board with that.
Speaker 3: I think I'd be more interested if everyone was like
Speaker 3: John Daly, Like if everybody competing was like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: because that's a fun dude.
Speaker 1: That's the guys here. He's there at a party playing
Speaker 1: rounds of golf with no shoes on, smoking. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, it's that meme right with the tiger Wood standing
Speaker 3: in front of him and he's just standing there.
Speaker 1: He's got those pants on it. He sells those pants.
Speaker 1: Those really weird look at those are his, that's his brand.
Speaker 3: They look like the Bill style, those Bill style Zumz
Speaker 3: pants whatever they're called.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dude. There's and there's a couple of very
Speaker 1: famous John Daly Tiger Wood stories. When Daily dropped his
Speaker 1: sixty five on Tiger. He had been at like the
Speaker 1: bard can't remember which course they were at, the literally
Speaker 1: the bar in there, of course, tying him on, and
Speaker 1: he would have his caddie bring him like Jim or
Speaker 1: Jack and cokes, like in the morning when they're teeing
Speaker 1: off and he's like, hey, Tiger, come have a drake
Speaker 1: with me. And he's like, we're like they're like one
Speaker 1: of the early tea times. Like, no, we're one of
Speaker 1: the early tea times. So Daily stays in there till
Speaker 1: like two or something, and he shows up at the
Speaker 1: tea box and Tiger's there. He'd been there, you know,
Speaker 1: an hour and a half, is all warmed up, drake
Speaker 1: is smoothie, he's hydrated. John Daly looks like me showing
Speaker 1: up on a vacation eight o'clock tea time, which is insane.
Speaker 1: Don't ever go on vacation do eight am T time,
Speaker 1: and then proceeds to drop his sixty five on the.
Speaker 3: Hiker He shows up in there like is that guy
Speaker 3: having a medical event?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on here? I remember? Daily got famous
Speaker 1: because he was an alternate for the US Open. Was all.
Speaker 1: It was eighteen hours away from where it was being played.
Speaker 1: And they're like, hey, so and so canceled. Are you
Speaker 1: in the vicinity? He goes, I will be, and then
Speaker 1: he drove overnight eighteen hours, got up on the tea box,
Speaker 1: and proceeded to win the US Open, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. It's like those those sports stories were
Speaker 1: like David Wells. David Wells was Yankees pitcher. There's a
Speaker 1: famous story when he threw a perfect game against the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins. Of course that he was still so drugged
Speaker 1: or drunk that he was seen double and he pitched
Speaker 1: a perfect game, which I that's in his book. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, but of course it came
Speaker 1: against my team, so what are you gonna do? All right?
Speaker 1: So in addition all the fun golf discussion, yeah, oh wait, hold,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a series of Boston Paulie Mills. I have
Speaker 1: to read his early ones because I expect they're gonna
Speaker 1: get more and more incoherent. All right, what's your question,
Speaker 1: Boston paul day drinking. It's not a question, it's just
Speaker 1: a statement. Day drinking is acceptable. Hey man, if that's
Speaker 1: what you need to tell yourself, I will wait till
Speaker 1: after the show because I am a professional. But it's
Speaker 1: not not happening today. Uh.
Speaker 3: Dibbs brings up a good point on X. Do you
Speaker 3: think Shooter McGavin has a good shot to win today?
Speaker 1: You know what? You probably you're probably better betting on
Speaker 1: him than uh Lee Trevino. So there's that I don't know. Uh.
Speaker 3: I picked Lee Travino every year because that was my
Speaker 3: first introduction to golf because he had a video game
Speaker 3: in like the eighties or nineties and it was a
Speaker 3: great video game. I was really into that game.
Speaker 1: You know what I hate is that they took away
Speaker 1: his nicknames. So that's what I hate because and I
Speaker 1: assumed that was because of people, you know, who just
Speaker 1: can't let you know. It was probably we're gonna get
Speaker 1: rid of everything that might offend anybody, because you know,
Speaker 1: Lee Trevino. They used to call what was it the
Speaker 1: Mary Mechs and Super Mechs was my favorite. And I
Speaker 1: guess maybe you can't because he's Mexican American. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's American, but he's a Mexican heritage and they call
Speaker 1: him Mary mes or Super Mechs and I haven't. I
Speaker 1: don't hear people ever use that in broadcast now when
Speaker 1: they're talking about him, and it's not at his objection.
Speaker 1: He still calls himself that on his own website. So
Speaker 1: can't the guy just be happy? Anyway? All right? Six
Speaker 1: forty one, let's speaking of sports. I saw this yesterday
Speaker 1: and I sent it to Ross immediately because I just
Speaker 1: knew we got to get one of these for him. So, uh,
Speaker 1: apparently Mattel has done something they've never done before, and
Speaker 1: that is create an official Barbie Slash Ken doll. In
Speaker 1: this case, it's a Ken doll as part of their
Speaker 1: Kenbassador series, and it's the first time they have used
Speaker 1: a professional athlete as a Ken doll. So you got
Speaker 1: everyone the first time you're doing this, who do you
Speaker 1: go with? Right there? If you go you go Barbie
Speaker 1: or Ken? You pick a man or a woman? Maybe
Speaker 1: even Skipper if they want to guess, but who got
Speaker 1: that honor? And whose doll? Will you be able to purchase?
Speaker 1: Lebron James? Yeah, yeah, Lebron. The Lebron James Kendall was announced.
Speaker 1: It will go on sale. I think they're going to
Speaker 1: sell exclusively through Target and online.
Speaker 3: I saw a demo of it yesterday. I saw a
Speaker 3: demo of it yesterday the Toy Show and it kept
Speaker 3: flopping over, kept following Oh no.
Speaker 1: No, no, you can't stealim a joke, bro, damn it,
Speaker 1: the scaryways I was going to get there. They call
Speaker 1: it the ungrabbable toy because as you reach for it,
Speaker 1: it falls over on its own. I had so many
Speaker 1: ready to go, but yeah, all the jokes right themselves.
Speaker 1: What's even crazier is it's seventy five dollars for a
Speaker 1: Ken doll.
Speaker 3: I love how they always say that about the actual Barbie,
Speaker 3: where they're like, if a woman was actually had the
Speaker 3: proportions of Barbie, she would tip over. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know what, I don't know if that's true. I
Speaker 3: think we should look at this further.
Speaker 1: I'm not science, right, Yeah, let's get that changed the
Speaker 1: body slightly so, I mean, it's still putty down below,
Speaker 1: but I think it's more proportional. I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: been a while, so I say, last time I really
Speaker 1: handled a Barbie doll is when I was taking my
Speaker 1: sisters and putting them in the bead blaster. They do
Speaker 1: not do well in the bead blaster. You know what
Speaker 1: a bee blaster is. It's that thing where you spray
Speaker 1: like rust off of metal, so it's pretty pretty embrasive aggressive.
Speaker 1: You had one in the barn, and if you put
Speaker 1: a Barbie doll in there, it does not go well
Speaker 1: for the Barbie doll.
Speaker 3: My sisters were older than me, like years and like
Speaker 3: eight years older, so when I was a kid, there
Speaker 3: weren't a lot of like Barbie dolls around the house.
Speaker 3: My experience with them, though, is when I would go
Speaker 3: over to like my parents' friends' houses or my own
Speaker 3: friends and they would have sisters, and all I know
Speaker 3: about the Barbie dolls is, for some reason, ninety percent
Speaker 3: of them would end up looking like they were. They
Speaker 3: would be naked and tortured. Yeah, that's what they look like.
Speaker 1: They're all slutty, yeah, and bloody party.
Speaker 3: Girls, like dirty, like dirty plastic rubber.
Speaker 1: Like, oh my gosh, who did I bring home from
Speaker 1: the club? What's going on here? Yeah? Well that was
Speaker 1: the inevitability Lebron James, though I guess they're And by
Speaker 1: the way, this is the other thing too, all right,
Speaker 1: hold on awesome possible. I can't keep up with your
Speaker 1: emails about drinking this morning. This is more listening to
Speaker 1: you talk about golf is more torturous than waterboarding. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe we should run that theory. Come on down, sir,
Speaker 1: we'll see. We haven't got to waterboard anybody on the show. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So seventy five dollars. And I love how Lebron's like
Speaker 1: this is for we want to put a positive role
Speaker 1: model for the kids and for the community. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe one of the things you can
Speaker 1: do is not charge seventy five dollars for a Barbie
Speaker 1: doll Is that how much they cost? Now? Ros? Will
Speaker 1: you google how much a standard ten dollar is? I
Speaker 1: was gonna do this for the show and I forgot
Speaker 1: case I it can't be seventy five dollars. And by
Speaker 1: the way, that's seventy five dollars if he didn't make
Speaker 1: it in China. Okay, let's just be real honest here.
Speaker 1: That's seventy five dollars if you didn't And Mattel Manufacture
Speaker 1: is a lot in China, though they do do Vietnam
Speaker 1: and Mexico. They have a bunch in Mexico.
Speaker 3: Looks like it's a standard toy price for an action
Speaker 3: figure if you want to call Canon action figure.
Speaker 1: I know he's say it's.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he's sensitive about this, and we learn
Speaker 3: this in Toy Story three, But it looks like it's
Speaker 3: about twenty twenty three bucks something like that. Yeah, twenty
Speaker 3: four dollars.
Speaker 1: What are we doing with seventy five dollars for Lebron's Now,
Speaker 1: I did say there's some special autographed ones. Those are
Speaker 1: clearly not but those are part of that. They an
Speaker 1: initial three hundred run. The seventy five dollars is the
Speaker 1: MSRP when they go full production.
Speaker 3: Does he want like kids get beat up in the
Speaker 3: hood or something like these kids?
Speaker 1: Like I don't, I don't know. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: it's like, why is it seventy five dollars? And I
Speaker 1: is it because a licensing thing that.
Speaker 3: He's doesn't matter who it is, Like I just know
Speaker 3: it myself as a kid, if I showed up at
Speaker 3: the bus stop or whatever with my Ken doll, it
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't have gone well.
Speaker 1: And you know what, and it probably I would have
Speaker 1: been good for you, right, because it's like, why are
Speaker 1: you showing up with a Lebron John. He would have known.
Speaker 1: Remember Lebron James wasn't born yet, so they would think
Speaker 1: you're lying.
Speaker 3: I had enough beatings as a child, so I'm gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna avoid that when I'm not bringing my Barbie
Speaker 3: doll to the bus stop.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm just saying that. It'd have been like,
Speaker 1: this is Lebron James. One day he will be born
Speaker 1: and be annoying to listen to. All right. I guess
Speaker 1: it's because they have an iconic fashion line with him.
Speaker 1: But still it's like, you do an outreach to kids
Speaker 1: and then you're charge at seventy five dollars, Especially part
Speaker 1: of that outreach is targeting kids in socioeconomically challenged communities.
Speaker 1: You think they can afford seventy five dollars for your
Speaker 1: doll or action figure or whatever it is. Give me
Speaker 1: a break, man. So I don't know why it's seventy
Speaker 1: five bucks. But holy hell, all right, six forty seven.
Speaker 1: Apparently we're the third most hated country in the world
Speaker 1: right now, according to angry Europeans. And of course Newsweek
Speaker 1: was there to do the lifting. I will tell you this,
Speaker 1: the amount of news outlets yesterday who seem to be
Speaker 1: clearly on team China in this trade war is a
Speaker 1: little disturbing. I don't understand this for a minute, even CNBC.
Speaker 1: Here's how China could crush the US housing market. One.
Speaker 1: I don't believe this to be accurate. Obviously they were
Speaker 1: unloading treasuries. When you're talking about MBS's mortgage backed securities.
Speaker 1: They don't own enough to disrupt our housing market. So
Speaker 1: the why are you writing articles like that? And yet
Speaker 1: they were? Man, So I'm gonna assume you're on a
Speaker 1: team China, which is crazy because I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys know this. For all your reporter class, you know,
Speaker 1: they still disappear reporters over there, right, Hell, they'll disappear
Speaker 1: a former president from a publicly streamed meeting. And so
Speaker 1: do you guys not know do you guys know what
Speaker 1: the concrete Well, they have a name for it. It's
Speaker 1: like tofu concrete or something. So China went through this
Speaker 1: building phase nearly two thousands. They build all these huge
Speaker 1: high rises, but the concrete is so bad that you
Speaker 1: can grab it with your hand and like pull it away,
Speaker 1: like it's a combination of a cinder block and a
Speaker 1: styrofoam block, and as a result, whole buildings will just
Speaker 1: fall over. And this was they had a few very
Speaker 1: high profile ones that happened back in like two thousand
Speaker 1: and six and seven, And in two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: Beijing was hosting the Olympics, and so all of this coverage,
Speaker 1: which had been a national crisis in China stopped but
Speaker 1: for a few reporters like no, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: stop doing it, and then they stopped being around. China
Speaker 1: literally disappeared reporters before the two thousand and eight Olympics
Speaker 1: because they were pointing out that government of fit. The
Speaker 1: reason that the concrete and the construction was so poor
Speaker 1: is because so much of it was getting stolen. So
Speaker 1: everyone along the line was dipping in there, and a
Speaker 1: lot of it was politicians and they were dipping in
Speaker 1: there and taking the money. So the quality of construction
Speaker 1: was to the point where it'd fall over. In a
Speaker 1: stiff wind and then something horrible happened. China actually had
Speaker 1: a pretty significant earthquake that was bad, but most buildings
Speaker 1: would have been largely survivable, and then they didn't. They
Speaker 1: just fell over like dominoes man. So that's the team
Speaker 1: you're signing up for. You got the team that tells
Speaker 1: you you can't ask a question at the press conference
Speaker 1: because you're a one note TDS suffering trick pony or
Speaker 1: another one who takes you to a farm up state
Speaker 1: so you can go hang out with the former president
Speaker 1: of China removed out of his own party meeting from
Speaker 1: the front row in a legendary series of photos and videos.
Speaker 1: Choose wisely, That's all I'm saying, all right, eight eight
Speaker 1: eight nine three four seven eight seven four we got
Speaker 1: dumb audio from Chuck Schumer, because you know, it's a
Speaker 1: day that ends in why and and and end. I
Speaker 1: love this the update to that weird story I had
Speaker 1: yesterday about the dude who did the hit and run
Speaker 1: and then just randomly ran into a yard and pretended
Speaker 1: he was gardening in his boxers with a guitar, and
Speaker 1: a woman emerged with a gun and then police ended
Speaker 1: up shooting her because she didn't drop the gun only
Speaker 1: in the shoulders. She's fine. She kind of famous. I
Speaker 1: did not see this coming, So we'll get updates on
Speaker 1: all that. More coming up CaCO Day Radio program Kid
Speaker 1: is seven oh seven CaCO Day Radio Program, so that'll
Speaker 1: be a running thing going on. Also coming up on
Speaker 1: the show eight oh five, Stephen Kentill joined us, and
Speaker 1: now Stephen ken could admit, I don't know that he
Speaker 1: was wrong. I think he just hedged his bets, so
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair that he's gonnadmen he was wrong,
Speaker 1: because I'm actually sad. I too was hoping that I
Speaker 1: it wasn't a thing but that whole Narnia Meryl Streep
Speaker 1: thing where they're like, hey, what if we had Meryl
Speaker 1: Street voice Aslan in the Narnia series, which, if you
Speaker 1: know anything about what Aslin represents and it not just
Speaker 1: represents is in that movie, you'd realize why that probably
Speaker 1: is going to do well among some of the more devout,
Speaker 1: especially those who are c. S. Lewis's material for the
Speaker 1: religious overtones, and Steven didn't think it might be real,
Speaker 1: and I didn't think either, So that's why before I
Speaker 1: even talked about it last week. I went and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to see if there's any response, any push.
Speaker 1: I couldn't find any. So we did talk about it
Speaker 1: with the hedge there and then yeah, it kind of
Speaker 1: looks like it's real. So we'll get into that minecraft
Speaker 1: and various of course tarif because like, here's the deal
Speaker 1: we think of tariff's just going to impact you know,
Speaker 1: close or cheap things made over in China, but getting
Speaker 1: into a full blown trade war with China, Hollywood is
Speaker 1: hosed man for right now. I don't care how many
Speaker 1: weepy John Cena apologizing in Mandarin videos or Lebron James
Speaker 1: ignoring slave labor moments you're gonna need if you're crafting
Speaker 1: a movie. And remember a lot of these movies are
Speaker 1: where they will literally tweak the final product that you
Speaker 1: see because they're trying to he's China, and sometimes the
Speaker 1: companies do it a lot of times they do it,
Speaker 1: and then you end up with these weird things that
Speaker 1: don't really fit in there or where there's always like
Speaker 1: The Martian is a really good example. So The Martian
Speaker 1: to get it to open there and to get certain
Speaker 1: levels of funding to make the movie, they and it is.
Speaker 1: It is part of the book, per se, but it's
Speaker 1: not done in the way that it's done in the movie.
Speaker 1: Is you had to have the hey, China save the
Speaker 1: Day part of that right where they launch spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: They launched the rocket that they're going to use to
Speaker 1: resupply Mark Wattney ahead of him getting rescued in four
Speaker 1: years whatever the timeframe was, and they don't do testing
Speaker 1: and it goes up, the weights off balance, it blows up,
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, that's it. Mark Wattney's dead. And
Speaker 1: then China's like, we have a super secret rocket that's perfect.
Speaker 1: What if should we tell him? And then China saves
Speaker 1: the Day. It's a whole part of the movie there.
Speaker 1: That's how you got stuff into China. Stroke the egos.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of investment. Can I remember the
Speaker 1: big Chinese production company? Is it something forward? Go Forward?
Speaker 1: Well whatever it's got the like the diamond orange yellow logo.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's well go Usa, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: Well go Usa. If you ever see that before a movie,
Speaker 1: that's China. That's Chinese dollars there. So if you're Marvel
Speaker 1: and you're putting together obviously the New Avengers movie. Now,
Speaker 1: those are the types of movies where you do three
Speaker 1: hundred million in the US two hundred million in China
Speaker 1: opening weekend. China's not gonna take those movies. One of
Speaker 1: the first things we're gonna do is eighty six that So,
Speaker 1: does that mean Hollywood will not try to appease China
Speaker 1: and kiss their you know, kiss their boots in making
Speaker 1: these and we'll get some American products. Now, they're probably
Speaker 1: still assuming that someday China will let it in and
Speaker 1: they can still reap dollars off. But that that's a
Speaker 1: whole different consideration. With the way that modern blockbuster movies
Speaker 1: are planned for right now, China is a very important component,
Speaker 1: and so when a movie doesn't get in over there,
Speaker 1: it's it's a big financial deal and it's been just
Speaker 1: like everything else, it's kind of a hose in us.
Speaker 1: And I remember, I will say the one that I
Speaker 1: do appreciate is, do you remember China wanted a change
Speaker 1: in the Maverick movie, the Top Gun Maverick movie, and
Speaker 1: it was a bridge too far and it was one
Speaker 1: simple change. Ross do you remember what the change was
Speaker 1: when they wanted in the Maverick movie. It had to
Speaker 1: do with his jacket.
Speaker 3: Because he had his little jacket on and it had
Speaker 3: the Taiwanese flag on.
Speaker 1: It had a Taiwanese flag, which is true to the
Speaker 1: original movie. It's on there, and they wanted him and
Speaker 1: so I guess they shot some scenes without it, and
Speaker 1: then somebody, rightfully, maybe it was Tom Cruise, I don't know,
Speaker 1: somebody went, this is we're not we're China's. This is Maverick.
Speaker 1: Every second, I let China dictate what's on his jacket,
Speaker 1: So we're.
Speaker 3: Not going to right they fixed it, and then they
Speaker 3: fixed it, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: And then they put it back. Yeah, so they're just like, fine,
Speaker 1: screw you. But like the fact that they thought that
Speaker 1: they were willing to yield to that nah and said
Speaker 1: good on, even if it's crazy. Tom Cruise whoever, went, now,
Speaker 1: we're not doing this thing, and what did we get?
Speaker 1: Remember Remember how much they were clowned on that movie.
Speaker 1: It was just going to be a nostalgia popcorn fast
Speaker 1: and nothing more, which it kind of was. But it
Speaker 1: arguably saved the movie industry. And I don't think that's
Speaker 1: too I don't think that's too aggressive a description. Right,
Speaker 1: This is the back end of COVID movies that are
Speaker 1: coming out, where a lot of them were going direct
Speaker 1: to streaming services. Nobody was making any money because he
Speaker 1: didn't have theaters in a lot of states. And they
Speaker 1: they figured out, they timed it just perfect. They put
Speaker 1: the money into it, they did the production, and that
Speaker 1: thing was absolutely as much as the critics wanted to
Speaker 1: hate it, it was a huge six.
Speaker 3: Steven Spielberg said that that movie saved the industry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well, then there you go.
Speaker 3: Steven Spielberg says, you know, he told that the Tom
Speaker 3: Curry on the red carpet for some movie.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you know what, now, as you mentioned that,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think I do remember that. And
Speaker 1: you didn't have to edit out a Taiwanese flag. So
Speaker 1: don't even want to hear it. Jake, what's up?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I was gonna talk about the Lebron doll.
Speaker 4: It's a doll. Let's just get over. It's a doll.
Speaker 1: He was just trying to justify all the weird stuff
Speaker 1: in his studio he calls action figures. So that's what's up.
Speaker 4: Quite the possibility anyway, the price of the doll. The
Speaker 4: doll is seventy five dollars. Do you remember how much
Speaker 4: toys used to cost back in the day. I mean,
Speaker 4: granted there were not seventy five dollars, but you know,
Speaker 4: just for inplace and all that jazz, it was about
Speaker 4: seventy five dollars. I mean, the only thing that seems
Speaker 4: to be seems to be equivalent would be like.
Speaker 1: Any I don't believe that adjustifible.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know toys were toys were not like
Speaker 4: I mean, not that expensive. But when you just for
Speaker 4: the inmplation, I mean.
Speaker 1: Give me which, give me which decade you're talking about
Speaker 1: for toys.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm talking like maybe the sixties and seventies and
Speaker 4: hell even even into the forties, and we even they
Speaker 4: even had toys back and the day were you set
Speaker 4: stuff on fire?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, no, you're not gonna get an argument
Speaker 1: for me that we had better toys back in the day, sir,
Speaker 1: Because we had.
Speaker 4: There were better toys. You got less of them though, too.
Speaker 4: So the cool thing was was you weren't stepping on
Speaker 4: toys every single morning when you get out because you're
Speaker 4: overwhelm with toys because they're so cheap that you know,
Speaker 4: Grandma and grandpa spoil their kids obviously, but then you
Speaker 4: get uncles and everything, and all the toys are all
Speaker 4: over the floor and all that.
Speaker 1: Jeff, Look, let's face it, the greatest, the greatest toys
Speaker 1: of my era, my generation. I would always get bigger toys,
Speaker 1: more higher quality toys, whereas my sisters there it was
Speaker 1: more of a numbers game for them, which is fine.
Speaker 1: Every kid's different. Yeah, So like I had the big
Speaker 1: the Walker, the at at the Star Wars with the
Speaker 1: compartment in the better and that wasn't cheap man. And
Speaker 1: then of course there was the holy grail of toys
Speaker 1: for people that are in you know, like Ross and
Speaker 1: I age Ross. Do you remember your first video game system?
Speaker 1: Did you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, It was a Nintendo Entertainment system and I was
Speaker 3: in like fourth grade. We moved into our new house.
Speaker 3: It was the greatest moment of my.
Speaker 1: Life, greatest moment, greatest moment for life.
Speaker 3: I can't express to you. I can't express Okay, I
Speaker 3: can't express to you how happy I was opening that
Speaker 3: box and seeing that Nintendo.
Speaker 1: Oh, I just can't. Yeah, anyway, Jake, what you want
Speaker 1: to add something real quick?
Speaker 4: Could I add something about the Aslan voiceover all?
Speaker 1: That yet, sure real quick?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't care if Meryl Street voice is
Speaker 4: it because she sound like a dude.
Speaker 1: Or god, I don't know, man, oh.
Speaker 4: God, I guess I don't know. I don't care. I
Speaker 4: don't care voiceovers, I don't care. I mean, who was
Speaker 4: the guy that did a poop in the and the
Speaker 4: girl that did Bart?
Speaker 1: I don't care. Well, the guy who did a pooh
Speaker 1: was Han Kazaria, who's hilarious by the way. Indeed, if
Speaker 1: anybody doesn't believe, they should watch Brockmeyer. But I will
Speaker 1: warn you that they then cash all their credit And
Speaker 1: thanks for the call there, Jake on what was a
Speaker 1: hilarious show where they decide to cash all their ducats
Speaker 1: on a whole abortion storyline, which it's like, it's a
Speaker 1: comedy thing about baseball. What are you guys doing? I
Speaker 1: never understood that, but yeah, it's a great show.
Speaker 3: Meryl Streep is not a voice actor, and she's not
Speaker 3: the same as the chick that does Bart Simpson's voice.
Speaker 3: It's not they're doing it on purpose because they know
Speaker 3: what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing, and
Speaker 3: they know what Aslin is supposed to embody and once again,
Speaker 3: he's not supposed to be symbolic. It's not supposed to
Speaker 3: be an analogy. This is supposed to be Christ. It
Speaker 3: is Christ in that universe, so stop.
Speaker 1: Well you don't think Christ can be the chick from
Speaker 1: what's the one where?
Speaker 3: No, I do not.
Speaker 1: That movie?
Speaker 3: Uh The Devil Wears praduc The Devil Wars Proda.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't want to
Speaker 1: Christ with that attitude. That's just me.
Speaker 3: So anyway, maybe they'll like super reverb and like pitch
Speaker 3: her voice down. Maybe they'll make her sound like James
Speaker 3: Earld Jones or something.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe they should auto tune her then, yes, what's
Speaker 1: his name? She's still alive. Who's the auto tune guy?
Speaker 3: Oh? T Pain?
Speaker 1: Yeah it's good tea pain in there, but amazing what
Speaker 1: you don't want to show up at the Pearly Gates
Speaker 1: and hear T. Poyne's voice reverbed, Come on, man.
Speaker 3: I like, no, it's up there and you're here like
Speaker 3: I'm on a boat.
Speaker 1: I'm on a boat. Yeah he was, though, I mean
Speaker 1: that's technically accurate. Him and the dudes from the Titanic
Speaker 1: are all just sitting around reminiscing like, oh went better
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah he had forty days, but uh, you
Speaker 1: know we were dead in three or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: So just sit around Heaven just talking about it. But
Speaker 1: you're grouped like it's prison and instead, but by race,
Speaker 1: it's by how you died. So what would be the
Speaker 1: cool kid club there? If that's how people grouped in
Speaker 1: the yard up in prison it was by how you died,
Speaker 1: like I think airplane crashed, it'd be kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: Right of course you got some pretty famous ones, but
Speaker 1: also you got like Amelia Earhart in there, you got
Speaker 1: one of the Kennedys, you got some great athletes and
Speaker 1: some wonderful singers from back in the fifties. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'd be a pretty good group to hang out with mine. Now,
Speaker 1: the group I wouldn't want to hang out with is
Speaker 1: remember that dude who died because they gorilla glued his
Speaker 1: eyes shut and wrapped him in saran rap. I don't
Speaker 1: want to show up at that group.
Speaker 3: No, it's embarrassing. If you're standing in line like that, all.
Speaker 1: Covered in saran rap, you can't even speak. Say, Peter's
Speaker 1: like what's your name? Like you're like, well, you can't
Speaker 1: come in, sir, I don't I need id.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's probably out how it works, all right. Anyway,
Speaker 1: seven nineteen hang on, no, no, no, no, it's it
Speaker 1: is somewhat interesting because it's not just about the Power Rangers,
Speaker 1: which I never really got into. Ross never really got
Speaker 1: into we we were we had age past that. So
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about Power Rangers other than
Speaker 1: by the time I saw it, I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: this is little kid dumb. Yeah, if you enjoyed it, fine,
Speaker 1: But my best friend's sisters school then my best friend's
Speaker 1: sister was into and I remember we had the same
Speaker 1: reaction watching Really this is dumb. Yeah, this is so dumb.
Speaker 1: But hey, mayby gazillion dollars. All right, so we'll actually here.
Speaker 1: Since since we're here, let me just share this story
Speaker 1: with you. So apparently the head rider for Mighty Morphin
Speaker 1: Power Rangers name is Tony Oliver. H is uh. There's
Speaker 1: a new investigation Discovery series called Hollywood Demons, and really
Speaker 1: it's it based. It probably is airing about two to
Speaker 1: three years too late, because it's all about going back
Speaker 1: and retroactively calling out people for things that happened years before.
Speaker 1: Many of the activists were born, you know where they're like,
Speaker 1: remember they tried to cancel the Duke. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we just saw this interview from the nineteen seventies that
Speaker 1: John Wayne gave the Playboy we're canceling him, and America
Speaker 1: collectively went, you're not canceling John Wayne. Shut up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an interview from like what nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: one or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you don't get to retroact. Well, there was
Speaker 1: very problematic. Remember was shining then the Sean Connery interview
Speaker 1: where he talked about giving his woman a little smack
Speaker 1: back in like nineteen eighty and I think it was
Speaker 1: it was a Diane Sawyer. It was somebody big interviewing him,
Speaker 1: and they were just like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not surprising. All of this, you know, correlated or
Speaker 3: went along with the tearing down the statues. They're just like,
Speaker 3: we have to get rid of all the crap from
Speaker 3: the past, all right.
Speaker 1: So I feel like this series where they're going back
Speaker 1: and retroactively doing this you missed you probably missed it
Speaker 1: by a few years, but we'll see. So apparently he's
Speaker 1: interviewed in it and he wanted to publicly apologize for
Speaker 1: the way that they casted the Power Rangers because and
Speaker 1: I did not know this, the Black Power Ranger was
Speaker 1: portrayed by a black actor and the Yellow Power Ranger
Speaker 1: was portrayed by an Asian actor or actress, right right.
Speaker 3: I believe the Pink Ranger was a female as well,
Speaker 3: right well.
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's how she identifies, we don't know.
Speaker 3: But I think the Yellow Ranger was also female, so
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Was female Asian female. And then who was Trina Kwan?
Speaker 1: It was the name. I don't know the actress there
Speaker 1: a true train so but yeah, they're like, ah, that
Speaker 1: was that was bad of us. That was super big.
Speaker 1: And we made the Black Ranger the black one and
Speaker 1: the Yellow one the Yellow one too. What we did there,
Speaker 1: and we're really really sorry. And I'm like, was this
Speaker 1: an issue back then? I don't remember this. He was
Speaker 1: this guy running around when you're not can believe what
Speaker 1: we did, no or just what it was. Nobody cared
Speaker 1: and it made it primely made sense back then. I Yeah, again,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know they ever watched an
Speaker 1: episode of the show, but uh, we're gonna go. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go, We're gonna go do this. I can't believe
Speaker 1: anyone except for the most nosed, pierced, and purple haired
Speaker 1: among us, are going to enjoy this series. But I
Speaker 1: could be wrong. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor where you're
Speaker 1: going back and retroactively taking your current set of emotional
Speaker 1: guidelines and standards and attempting to apply him to people
Speaker 1: thirty or forty years ago. Not simply about cancelable stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just an element of it. Some of the stuff.
Speaker 1: And you're absolutely right, is story is about, you know,
Speaker 1: like really bad Like if you go back to like
Speaker 1: the old Nickelodeon days, there's some crazy stories there. But
Speaker 1: now you're talking about people that take advantage into kids
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. That's what I'm talking about. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about people feel that they need to apologize for
Speaker 1: a casting choice for a kids show from thirty years
Speaker 1: ago that nobody cared about at the time. So yes, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not with the dad from seventh having is alleged
Speaker 1: to have done no no, no, no, that's fine, but it's
Speaker 1: it's the cancel culture part for innocuous thing.
Speaker 3: But it's also dumb because.
Speaker 1: It's into there so anyway, sorry what.
Speaker 3: It's also dumb, right because like the white guy was
Speaker 3: the White Ranger, the female was the Pink Ranger. Then
Speaker 3: you had what a red Ranger or was it green?
Speaker 1: Well, the red Ranger is the one who murdered his
Speaker 1: roommate with a sword.
Speaker 3: Right, so that's fround up fun And the black one
Speaker 3: is the Black Ranger and the yellow was the Yellow Ranger.
Speaker 3: But wasn't the point like they were all sort of
Speaker 3: coming together and working as a team. So it sort
Speaker 3: of works, right.
Speaker 1: I guess, Yeah, it stands that weird sequence when they
Speaker 1: powered up. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I always saw it as like an older kid, as
Speaker 3: like a version of Voltron for some reason, like how
Speaker 3: they would all come together to form like this team
Speaker 3: like him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, I don't know enough about the show, so
Speaker 1: I assume that you're correct on that. I've never watched
Speaker 1: an episode. I didn't even really fundamentally understand it. It
Speaker 1: was like Barney, I never other than watching, you know,
Speaker 1: stuff to make fun of. I don't know what happened there,
Speaker 1: which is why when we do anything about kids shows,
Speaker 1: I got to go to you because I have no
Speaker 1: idea what's on Pepa pig.
Speaker 3: I was forced to watch Barney and Repeat when I
Speaker 3: was a kid, and I was much older, because my
Speaker 3: mom would take care of children. That's what she did.
Speaker 3: She babysat children. There was always like kids in my house,
Speaker 3: like tiny little babies. And you can't remember a time
Speaker 3: where we didn't have children in the house and all
Speaker 3: that stuff on repeat. Yeah awful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know a lot more about it than I do.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Okay, yeah, all right, so some
Speaker 1: people were concerned. I was no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: The Hollywood creepers out blessing kids. That's fine, it's but
Speaker 1: it's when we're getting into retroactively apologizing for power rangers.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you realize this isn't a thing anymore. You
Speaker 1: just dumb. So we shall see. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: to this saw this yes, say, of course, Newsweek was
Speaker 1: happy to run this new map shows world's most hated
Speaker 1: countries for twenty twenty five. All right, so if you
Speaker 1: had to guess what are the most hated countries in
Speaker 1: the world, well and again, then they just ask people
Speaker 1: from all over the world. So you got Europeans, Asians, Americans,
Speaker 1: South Americans, you name it all way and in, and
Speaker 1: you know, people are gonna have their favorites to hate on.
Speaker 1: Every country has their own favorite to hate on. The
Speaker 1: US is unique in the fact that so many countries
Speaker 1: prefer to hate on us, but they hate on us
Speaker 1: for like our largess right. If you listen, especially among Europeans,
Speaker 1: if you listen to beef, they're like that they got
Speaker 1: too many freedoms, too much food, and the roads are
Speaker 1: too wide and they're arrogant. Well, let me tell you
Speaker 1: there's a lot. I've done a lot of traveling. I
Speaker 1: will tell you this. In almost every Latin American country
Speaker 1: I've been in, they have. And this is why sometimes
Speaker 1: stereotypes are probably okay. They think they assume that if
Speaker 1: you're an American, you're rich, and you know, arguably comparably
Speaker 1: you are for a lot of a lot of countries.
Speaker 1: You know, where the animal salaries in the you know,
Speaker 1: low thousands of dollars maybe, but not everyone is rich rich.
Speaker 1: But they make that assumption. And I've never pushed back
Speaker 1: on it, not because I act like there's a difference
Speaker 1: between going over and acting like an a hole, which unfortunately, Uh.
Speaker 1: The TikTok community and streaming community is embracing, like that
Speaker 1: dude in the Philippines who's like, hey, it'd be a
Speaker 1: fun prank if I take their guns. Oh I'm going
Speaker 1: to a Filipino prison for twenty years. This is gonna suck. Right,
Speaker 1: They don't have any they have any patients for that.
Speaker 1: That being said, you know they want to think that whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be bad though, because then they have
Speaker 3: a better chance of being taken if you go down there.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, that's one hundred percent true.
Speaker 3: But you know, ultimately think I'm super poor, like, don't
Speaker 3: don't kidnap me.
Speaker 1: Well, this is what I tell people if they're gonna
Speaker 1: go travel, Like, I don't know if you're going to
Speaker 1: walk around a country that has a high crime rate
Speaker 1: or is considered third world in any way, shape or form,
Speaker 1: even if it's a nice area, I tell don't wear jewelry.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. I know you'd like to wear your watch,
Speaker 1: maybe you got some bracelets or what. I just don't
Speaker 1: do it. Don't wear jewelry and figure out how the
Speaker 1: men dress locally. You'll dret you will blend in ninety
Speaker 1: percent of the places if you ever go to Latin
Speaker 1: American country. So Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, any of
Speaker 1: the rest. Most men, even if it's hot, they don't
Speaker 1: wear shorts. And American tourists they you know, they go
Speaker 1: and they throw the shorts on and the flip flops,
Speaker 1: and you're already standing out. But now you're really standing out.
Speaker 1: You throw a regular old shirt on and jeans, you'll
Speaker 1: blend like ninety percent of the people, you'll blend in
Speaker 1: right there. They're going to ignore you. No, it's the
Speaker 1: people that are running around, you know, with their selfies sticks,
Speaker 1: doing insane Those are the people that attract attention. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, it's you know, some stereotypes
Speaker 1: are like okay, right, and some or not. With that
Speaker 1: being said, it is a pastime of many countries to
Speaker 1: hate on the US, but this year we rocketed up
Speaker 1: the list because even though people in these countries will
Speaker 1: talk about, oh, I hate America, they will consume and
Speaker 1: have their lives shaped by American products and entertainment and
Speaker 1: they can't get enough of it. They can't get enough
Speaker 1: of it, you know. They a lot of the American
Speaker 1: companies who are chains in the US do one offs
Speaker 1: in some of these countries. But they do them different.
Speaker 1: Go give you an example. If you go to some
Speaker 1: of the countries in Latin America, especially in South America,
Speaker 1: you'll see this. They will have a one off of
Speaker 1: a chain in the US, so it could be Olive Garden,
Speaker 1: it could be Krispy Kreme, right, But the Krispy Kremes
Speaker 1: don't look like what yours looks like because they weren't
Speaker 1: really made for people to go there. They were made
Speaker 1: for what are called motocochow delivery services, where there's motorcycles
Speaker 1: zipping everywhere. Uber Eats and others that run those, and
Speaker 1: it's and it's always ungodly. I think I saw what
Speaker 1: a dozen donuts cost at Krispy Kreme in Panama, and
Speaker 1: it was let me do the I was twenty two
Speaker 1: dollars for a dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme. So they're
Speaker 1: really high end and it's really just kind of and
Speaker 1: and they love those damn things and they're everywhere. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this Panama. Oh and
Speaker 1: if you get off, if you go what I've I've
Speaker 1: posted a picture when I flew into Panama a few
Speaker 1: years ago. I got off my gate and I'll right
Speaker 1: out the other side of the gate as an olive
Speaker 1: garden in the airport there right like they love the
Speaker 1: American brands. Hell, Panama uses the dollar, but Panamanians are
Speaker 1: not fans of the US right now, well even though
Speaker 1: their currency is our currency and their banks hold so
Speaker 1: much US money, and they love Panama is a shopping
Speaker 1: destination too, So if you really want to, you really
Speaker 1: want to take advantage of some tax free stuff, that
Speaker 1: airport and the outlet stores, which are literally an extension
Speaker 1: of the airport, are yours for the picking. Yet they're
Speaker 1: all mad and they just had pete hegseth down there
Speaker 1: because you know the canal thing. So I expect them
Speaker 1: to say that, But the majority of the people saying this,
Speaker 1: here's why they're mad. How many of you had a kid?
Speaker 1: How many of you had a kid, and they have
Speaker 1: an allowance and then they did stupid kids stuff and
Speaker 1: you're like, I gotta I gotta make an example of them,
Speaker 1: and you suspended their allowance or took it away. What
Speaker 1: was the reaction? Were they happy about it or do
Speaker 1: they have an absolute meltdown and tell you they hated you. Well,
Speaker 1: we just took everybody's fun money away. If you think
Speaker 1: about it, was there a country? I mean, we do
Speaker 1: you know, so literally in Congress yesterday they had to
Speaker 1: pass a bill saying that we wouldn't fund the Taliban anymore.
Speaker 1: That required congressional action. Like we just went and took everybody.
Speaker 1: We're the parent, We just took everybody's money away. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You're gonna have to produce your own trans operas, Columbia.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to do your own this, that or
Speaker 1: the other. So you're gonna have to pay for your
Speaker 1: own defense Europe while you continue to fund putin dollars
Speaker 1: and of course pump money in Ukraine simultaneously and close
Speaker 1: all your coal plants. Yeah, no, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: pay for this yourself. And so what do they do?
Speaker 1: They get all mad? Yeah, animaity towards the US is
Speaker 1: because quote, the US tends to over This is the
Speaker 1: their reasoning. The most common answer given is the country
Speaker 1: oversteps when trying to influence international events. Why you want
Speaker 1: us to pay for all of them? You want us
Speaker 1: to pay And I'm not saying Look, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that some of the stuff that we're going back to,
Speaker 1: like Central America, what was going on with the Sandinistas
Speaker 1: and all that was probably a good idea, and yeah,
Speaker 1: the US has got their nose up in it. But
Speaker 1: anytime something bad happens in the world, ross who do
Speaker 1: they call? And it's been this way for quite a while.
Speaker 1: They call us every time, every time, every time. Do
Speaker 1: you remember when the tsunami hit Indonesia and like they
Speaker 1: would hold those world leaders would berate the US because
Speaker 1: we were giving the most of any country and yet
Speaker 1: it still wasn't enough. And they're like, how dare you
Speaker 1: sit there and not give more money to what happened
Speaker 1: in Indonesia, which was an absolutely devastating thing. And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: are you mad at us? Oh, somebody's screwing around with
Speaker 1: the shipping lanes over there. Who do you call the US?
Speaker 3: No, it's so stupid. If we get involved, we're called,
Speaker 3: you know, evil imperialist Americans. And if we don't get involved,
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, you guys are being selfish. And one
Speaker 3: thing you've seen the past what two three days when
Speaker 3: it comes to the world's economy in these foreign countries economies,
Speaker 3: is if we back out and say hey, we want
Speaker 3: you know, we they need us more than we need them.
Speaker 3: He saw that across the globe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, correct. I think a lot of these Europea, especially
Speaker 1: Eastern European countries might break from the EU if he
Speaker 1: really wants to get into this because they're not full
Speaker 1: full members and so they can do that, which they
Speaker 1: probably should, because look, Poland doesn't want to bide by
Speaker 1: what you EU he's doing. I bet they'd probably love
Speaker 1: to do a deal. So one hundred percent. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get raced Agic here because he's doing double duty
Speaker 1: and supporting what's going on there. Okay, uh, anyway, raced
Speaker 1: Agic from the Weather channel. Oh great, oh geez, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Well hopefully I'll give him a moment to
Speaker 1: call in on the phone. Yeah, that's what that was.
Speaker 1: Huh what's that? Oh? There we go? All right, somebody
Speaker 1: screwed with roster.
Speaker 3: Somebody somebody raised somebody with somebody studio and they put
Speaker 3: the country feed station on the selector on the selector
Speaker 3: feed Yeah, why would you?
Speaker 1: Ross is gonna have to hunt somebody down now not
Speaker 1: gonn end? Well, so can I ask you a question?
Speaker 5: Don't you all have the same rule, like when you
Speaker 5: go into your studio the way.
Speaker 3: You right, especially when one person tends to work in
Speaker 3: that studio every day. Do not so you just don't
Speaker 3: come into somebody else's house and just messeduff up and leave.
Speaker 1: We we had to go. We went through that for years.
Speaker 5: When I first with all the fillings, they come in
Speaker 5: and to like start pushing buttons and everything.
Speaker 1: We're like no, like for a morning show like The Morning,
Speaker 1: do you know how it is when you work early mornings.
Speaker 1: Obviously one thing is off, like if your keys are
Speaker 1: in the wrong spot in your house time that we
Speaker 1: go to work, like you can ruin everything and it's
Speaker 1: such a simple thing, so you don't the morning.
Speaker 3: It also makes no sense because this is the only
Speaker 3: studio like this, This show is the only We are
Speaker 3: the people here right now. There's nobody else in the building.
Speaker 1: Yeah, go to.
Speaker 3: The studios, all right, Yeah, jeez, okay, stand back.
Speaker 1: Anyway you got double dyah because yeah, you know, there's
Speaker 1: obviously what's going on to try it the triangle, but
Speaker 1: right right Augusta, Georgia. Kind interesting. It was a bench,
Speaker 1: so they might yeah, they.
Speaker 5: Might have a little wet weather later today, some showers
Speaker 5: around tomorrow. I think the weekend is going to beautiful
Speaker 5: so let's just go with that. The weekend in Augusta
Speaker 5: should be nice, might have some severe weather later today
Speaker 5: early tonight, hopefully it'll be after sunset after they've done golfing,
Speaker 5: but it's going to be close, and I'll think to
Speaker 5: be on again off again with the shower storms tomorrow,
Speaker 5: so maybe some delays, et cetera, et cetera. As I said, though,
Speaker 5: the weekend does look pretty decent as it does here
Speaker 5: more sly clouds contended to thicken up here today upper sixties,
Speaker 5: maybe seventy for the triangle, then tonight, a few showers
Speaker 5: and thunderstorms into tomorrow, and there's kind of a few
Speaker 5: rounds that come in, so they'll be at time, some breaks,
Speaker 5: some stronger storms possible. Not going for a big severe
Speaker 5: weather risk or anything like that, but it's not zero,
Speaker 5: and then everything should start shutting down later tomorrow night
Speaker 5: and Saturday, just a few showers with cloud it's a
Speaker 5: mid to upper fifties, and then Sunday does look like
Speaker 5: the better day of the upcoming weekend with lots of sunshine,
Speaker 5: a little bit sixties back near eighty though by early
Speaker 5: next week, so cay see little wet weather starting tonight.
Speaker 5: I want to get off again through tomorrow. But there's
Speaker 5: going to be dry hours too, but just really not
Speaker 5: until the weekend doesn't get real nice, especially Sunday.
Speaker 1: All right, question, we were talking about kids toys because they
Speaker 1: sucked down and ours were better because it's late Lebron
Speaker 1: James Kendall and I'm out and seventy five dollars. By
Speaker 1: the way, I heard about it. I just heard about
Speaker 1: it down the road from you. But I was talking
Speaker 1: about like I was opted as a kid for the
Speaker 1: big toys, and my sisters were more into numbers, right,
Speaker 1: they went in multiple so they get cheaper ones, and
Speaker 1: I was I said, one of the coolest ones was
Speaker 1: I had an at at, you know, the big Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody's mad at me. He goes, it's an AT and eight.
Speaker 1: So you're a nerd who cares about this.
Speaker 5: Which is yeah, I have an ad at I called
Speaker 5: at correct tram arm or transport if you want to
Speaker 5: get technical, I have one now, yeah, and.
Speaker 1: It's pronounced at ay.
Speaker 3: Do they ever like say it in the movie or
Speaker 3: is it just sort of like a fan thing that
Speaker 3: fans know.
Speaker 5: I think it's based on the markings on it, right,
Speaker 5: they call them walkers, Yeah, call but walkers.
Speaker 3: But Luker Hahn was never like, oh, it's an ad
Speaker 3: ADD or at.
Speaker 5: The little small things in ATST. They just call it
Speaker 5: an ATST, the little walker, the scout walker also known
Speaker 5: it anyway.
Speaker 1: It's like talking to a military guy who's not civilian.
Speaker 1: Let it go, throwing acronyms like I don't know what
Speaker 1: that is? All right, all right, thank you, sir, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: So raced agis on team ad AD. We'll ask Steven
Speaker 1: can't coming up at eight oh five. We'll even ask
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger for all the good little do just to
Speaker 1: amuse ourselves. So lots to get to hang on another toy.
Speaker 1: That was a holy Grail level toy back when we
Speaker 1: were kids. I'd forgot about it. I never had one,
Speaker 1: and I never knew anyone who had.
Speaker 3: I never did either. It was the aircraft carrier for
Speaker 3: g I Joe, amazing, amazing. See the size of that
Speaker 3: thing is probably the size of my living room back
Speaker 3: in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah, I did remember. I had the ad
Speaker 1: AD and I had the Millennium, and that was as
Speaker 1: big as we were going to go. That's as big
Speaker 1: as we were going to go right there. But I
Speaker 1: do remember that being a thing and then going back
Speaker 1: to the video game thing too. Also one of the
Speaker 1: interesting things about the Nintendo era there was it also
Speaker 1: was what I would consider the first iteration of modern hipsters, right,
Speaker 1: because there was always that one kid who didn't have
Speaker 1: a Nintendo because his parents bought him a Sega Genesis.
Speaker 1: So then he had to explain to you every day
Speaker 1: why the Sega Genesis was superior, as though he's compensating
Speaker 1: for someone, and it really I can only play Sonic
Speaker 1: so much.
Speaker 3: Right because it wasn't what you saw on the screen.
Speaker 3: But I remember the first time I saw Nintendo and
Speaker 3: I didn't know it until third grade. I'd never seen
Speaker 3: it before. I had played Atari bowling up to like
Speaker 3: third grades, like nineteen eighty eight. I went to my
Speaker 3: friend's house. Evangelis was his name, still, remember, Evangelis Constantinos
Speaker 3: pap and Ekos.
Speaker 1: Was that that sounds like a dude with a Sega Genesis.
Speaker 3: No, he had a Nintendo. I had never seen it before.
Speaker 3: He was playing Atari and he turned the thing on
Speaker 3: and it was Mike Tyson's punch Out and it was
Speaker 3: my brain exploded. I was like, what am I looking at?
Speaker 3: This controller has four buttons. This is the most shame
Speaker 3: for your whole life. It changed. I felt like this
Speaker 3: is how the Indians had to feel when they saw
Speaker 3: the ships coming up over the horizon.
Speaker 1: Just They're like, oh, that goes one of two ways.
Speaker 3: I don't even check out. I don't even know what
Speaker 3: I'm looking at right now. I went home. I'm like, ma, ma,
Speaker 3: and that Christmas. I got it. So I think they
Speaker 3: hit it from me for the longest time because it
Speaker 3: was expensive.
Speaker 1: You'll not meet a bigger fan of professional golf than
Speaker 1: our next guest NERD correspondent Stephen Kent, who is uh
Speaker 1: all ready to go? You got your Master's watch party,
Speaker 1: ready to do this thing? I got it?
Speaker 2: And that was some lovely intro music. I like the
Speaker 2: change casey.
Speaker 1: Well that's the official Masters music, which you know, being
Speaker 1: a huge golf fan obviously, so.
Speaker 2: Of course I'm known for my golf fandom.
Speaker 1: Uh huh uh huh. Who do you think is gonna win?
Speaker 1: Who do you like? Ross picked? The player doesn't play anymore,
Speaker 1: so he's out.
Speaker 2: Joe Joe Rogan, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you this. I would love to
Speaker 1: watch Joe Rogan win the Masters, just to watch the
Speaker 1: left meltdown.
Speaker 2: That would be pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, world bird. I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: So have you ever been to Augusta, Georgia?
Speaker 4: You have not?
Speaker 1: So the Masters, this, this this icon of a country
Speaker 1: club is really in a dirt bag part of town.
Speaker 1: It's pretty rough over there. But across the street from
Speaker 1: the Masters you have all the chain restaurants and they
Speaker 1: have a Hooters there and every year John Daly sits
Speaker 1: in the parking lot or in the Hooters selling his
Speaker 1: merch there with a big tour bus. He lives in
Speaker 1: and just drinks all day, talking with fans. So it's
Speaker 1: almost as good as going into the Masters if you
Speaker 1: get that experience. Some of our listeners kids went over
Speaker 1: there and got a picture with John Day the wild Man.
Speaker 2: So Apple Hooters as as as it should be. This
Speaker 2: is what nature intended. But isn't isn't Hooters toast now bankrupt?
Speaker 1: Uh So they're they're reorgan but they're gonna do away
Speaker 1: with the Hooters so a little more so that's I'm
Speaker 1: sure that'll work real well.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Actually, it was kind of crazy. We had a story.
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna get into this with you, but yesterday
Speaker 1: we had a story where they were talking about the
Speaker 1: top fast casual restaurants in America. Which one do you
Speaker 1: think is the number one? You know, those chain you know,
Speaker 1: sit down but not a huge price point restaurants. What
Speaker 1: do you think is the number one in America?
Speaker 2: I think the obvious answer is Applebee's, So it can't
Speaker 2: be Applebee's.
Speaker 1: What about a chilis No, not chili Chili's does well
Speaker 1: a lot better than Applebee's. It was for years Olive Garden,
Speaker 1: but it's got surpassed. It's now Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 2: Texas Roadhouse. Those buildings are humongous. I don't I don't
Speaker 2: know how they afford to even build these things. They
Speaker 2: take them two plots of land. Yeah, it's good steak.
Speaker 1: It's good steak for not a lot of money. It's
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't have any reason to be that good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they grew fifteen percent last year, whereas Olive Garden for
Speaker 1: the much. Although Ross takes beef because he says all
Speaker 1: of gardens find out, but whatever, I'm not having that
Speaker 1: argument again.
Speaker 2: America is upping their standards.
Speaker 1: We love it. Yeah, So I love that this very
Speaker 1: hoiity toity event over there, the People's Tournament, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: You can go across the street and tip back beers
Speaker 1: with John Daily. Why you stare at Hooters? So America, Man, America, America. Now,
Speaker 1: unfortunately they just a newsweek had a piece out yesday.
Speaker 1: America is now the third most hated country in the world,
Speaker 1: probably because we took so many of these kids allowances away.
Speaker 1: But also they're like, oh, we don't like how you
Speaker 1: you're You're involved in all this stuff. You're trying to
Speaker 1: shape the world, except when something bad happens then they
Speaker 1: want us to be involved. But what is going on
Speaker 1: with China is more than just shaping tariffs and things
Speaker 1: like that. It's now going to creep into and I'm
Speaker 1: curious your thoughts on this. Hollywood's probably screwed while this
Speaker 1: is going on, because these people trip over themselves to
Speaker 1: China eyes, if that's a word, many movies because they
Speaker 1: realize they want three hundred million in the US two
Speaker 1: hundred million opening in China, and so they will do
Speaker 1: things like compromise storylines or insert characters like they did
Speaker 1: in The Martian or any or have John seen a
Speaker 1: make a weepy video apologizing in Mandarin.
Speaker 3: Right, that's done.
Speaker 1: I have to assume China's not taken any of Hollywood's
Speaker 1: products right now. And if you're producing the new Adventure stuff,
Speaker 1: how does that play into it?
Speaker 2: Well, this is something that is being discussed right now.
Speaker 2: Chinese authorities are looking at kicking the door closed on
Speaker 2: Hollywood films, which honestly good for them. I wish we
Speaker 2: could kick the door closed on Hollywood films ourselves, but
Speaker 2: for some reason, we're trapped. And they only bring in
Speaker 2: about thirty four films roughly from America every single year,
Speaker 2: and they have a revenue sharing agreement they split the proceeds.
Speaker 2: At least twenty five percent goes to the Chinese state,
Speaker 2: And so I think that they're kind of looking at
Speaker 2: this and going like, we never needed this, we don't
Speaker 2: need this.
Speaker 1: We did this.
Speaker 2: As part of our cultural expansion. But it will really,
Speaker 2: really really hurt California. And I don't think Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is going to care, nor should he.
Speaker 1: No. And I saw something now that only six percent
Speaker 1: of primetime television or first top release movies or even
Speaker 1: shot in California anymore.
Speaker 2: Like that's happening in Georgia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's happening in Georgia or Turkey. They shoot
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in Turkey and Canada. I always
Speaker 1: hated the fact that if you saw a Western, even
Speaker 1: one that was meant to portray like Dance's Legends of
Speaker 1: the Fall was shot around the time. And by the way,
Speaker 1: they came and they shot some of it in Wyoming
Speaker 1: because you have the Tetons are a very unique look,
Speaker 1: and they did some other stuff, but the majority of
Speaker 1: it was shot in Canada.
Speaker 2: And well, and you can find a really great video
Speaker 2: of Adam Scott. You know, he's from Parks and rec
Speaker 2: and he's the star of Severance on Apple TV.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's talking at the right medea. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Rob is totally dunking on California's management of the movie
Speaker 2: industry and how everybody shoots anywhere else in the world
Speaker 2: besides Hollywood, and that is.
Speaker 1: There's one hundred mile radius where because of the union deals,
Speaker 1: if you're within that one hundred miles, it's ungodly more
Speaker 1: expensive than if you're outside of it. And it's like
Speaker 1: this self inflicted Yeah, that's the same thing where I
Speaker 1: heard the six percent stat was Rob low because Rob
Speaker 1: Loo was saying they had another show lined up for
Speaker 1: him and they were telling me how to move to Manhattan.
Speaker 1: He said no, and then like they just didn't do
Speaker 1: the show because nobody will work in la anymore.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: But but admittedly, when you're spending five hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: on a movie, which what do you think they're going
Speaker 1: to spend on this Avengers movie? It's between that and
Speaker 1: market is probably going to be more than five hundred million, right,
Speaker 1: because they expect billion dollar returns. China was not an
Speaker 1: insignificant number there. They made about a quarter billion in China. Endgame.
Speaker 1: So does it do studios have to reimagine what they're
Speaker 1: doing and what does it mean for a big production
Speaker 1: that's already in production.
Speaker 2: Well, I certainly think that they're going to have to
Speaker 2: reimagine things, and they could just go the way of
Speaker 2: cutting budgets. I mean a lot of these movies, the
Speaker 2: majority of the budget is being driven by the massive,
Speaker 2: massive proceeds commanded by every one of these actors. You know.
Speaker 2: I was just reflecting the other day on the pay
Speaker 2: that the Lord of the Rings stars got back in
Speaker 2: the early two thousands. The people who played like Frodo
Speaker 2: and Sam and Aragorn and Legolos, most of them were
Speaker 2: pulling I kid you not about one hundred hundred twenty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars on average, not for one movie, but for
Speaker 2: the entire trilogy of Lord of the Rings films. And
Speaker 2: they did this specifically to make those movies commercially feasible.
Speaker 2: They could not make those movies and go and shoot
Speaker 2: everywhere they wanted to shoot and pay these actors the
Speaker 2: kind of things that they wanted. It was a huge gamble.
Speaker 2: And right now the Avengers movies are really weighed down
Speaker 2: by actor salaries. That is not an insignificant part of
Speaker 2: the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I appreciated too actors and producers that were
Speaker 1: willing Remember China they had that demand that for the
Speaker 1: new Top Gun that they changed the iconic jacket that
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise wore. And I think it was Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: or one of the producers like no Taiwan flag stays
Speaker 1: and China's like, well, you don't air it here, And
Speaker 1: that movie arguably saved the movie industry. Courdya. Steven Spielberg
Speaker 1: even said that Ross reminded me of that quote.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean they've maybe on this, maybe on
Speaker 2: this headline every couple of years, like X y Z
Speaker 2: movie has saved the movie industry. Now apparently it's Minecraft
Speaker 2: has saved the movie industry.
Speaker 1: We'rering get into that and the first one is entire story.
Speaker 1: Yeah wait, we think Rachel Zegler's face looked like when
Speaker 1: she saw the Minecraft quadrupled her weekend? Or is she
Speaker 1: not self aware enough to care?
Speaker 2: Probably scrumstuff and sour as usual.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, So Ross went and saw did you go
Speaker 1: see the Minecraft movie?
Speaker 2: I was telling Ross, I don't have a teenage son,
Speaker 2: so I have not seen Minecraft. But I hear it's
Speaker 2: a riot.
Speaker 1: Riot might be the right word. So I've seen a
Speaker 1: bunch all right, So I can't tell if it's Remember
Speaker 1: when you were a young kid, you're young punk and
Speaker 1: you wanted to, you know, just disrupt things and be
Speaker 1: a jerk where you'd kind of like mom onto something,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't your real reasoning. I don't believe for
Speaker 1: a moment that these teenagers showing up to see Minecraft.
Speaker 1: At the moment the Frankenstein Chicken thing or whatever it
Speaker 1: is comes out, they have to stand because they're all
Speaker 1: filming themselves. It's clearly content for TikTok and stuff. And
Speaker 1: then at the moment it happens, everyone just loses their mind.
Speaker 1: They start throwing popcorn each other. Some guy stood up
Speaker 1: projectile vomited on a bunch of people, and then they
Speaker 1: got a fistfight, as you do. And Ross said, somebody
Speaker 1: brought a chicken too one right, And so movie theaters
Speaker 1: now are saying this is a problem, and they actually
Speaker 1: ended up, you know, pushing a bunch of these guys out.
Speaker 1: Is there not eight year olds? They're clearly teenagers. I
Speaker 1: was a teenager. I was a pain in the butt.
Speaker 1: I feel their motivations are less about the fandom and
Speaker 1: more about using the fandom to be disruptive for internet clout.
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm gonna side on the side of
Speaker 2: the youth on this one. I think this is fantastic.
Speaker 2: One of my main concerns about young boys today is
Speaker 2: that they are not quite rambunctious enough out in the
Speaker 2: real world, like they have been so stripped to the
Speaker 2: bone by online culture and video games and surfing the internet,
Speaker 2: but they hardly get into any trouble anymore. And just
Speaker 2: the fact that you're getting all these boys together in
Speaker 2: the movie theater, and they've got this sort of weird
Speaker 2: social dynamic going on, and it's it's unleashing itself into chaos.
Speaker 2: I'm honestly amused, and good for the boys there being
Speaker 2: boys again.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna get off the long guys. So
Speaker 1: I always have to slip reyslope these things. But also
Speaker 1: there's no there's no danger that I'm going to go
Speaker 1: watch a screening of Minecraft here soon and have my
Speaker 1: movie going experience disrupted, because that's just not me. I
Speaker 1: will say this though, Jack Black seemingly that Kyle Gass
Speaker 1: incident clearly isn't stopping people, So I guess he might
Speaker 1: have slipped that just even though they were that old
Speaker 1: statement where he didn't push back was kind of hanging
Speaker 1: on him. But him party ways with Kyle Gass, I
Speaker 1: think actually worked and he was able to save his image.
Speaker 2: I suppose, so Jack Jack Black will be fine. He's
Speaker 2: got so much goodwill and he's never done that many
Speaker 2: controversial things, right, he will, He will be okay, and
Speaker 2: the kids will too. Let them let him wreck the
Speaker 2: theaters for Minecraft. American economy needs this right now.
Speaker 1: Let's go now. Ross told me you want to mention
Speaker 1: We're going to go back some we talked about the
Speaker 1: other week. I don't believe you said it wasn't true,
Speaker 1: which is the way that you kind of worded in
Speaker 1: that email. I think you said you were hesitant because
Speaker 1: it was such an insane story, and that's where I
Speaker 1: was too. I'm like, I hope Stephen's right, because when
Speaker 1: I tried to research it, I saw no pushback, which
Speaker 1: is why I brought it up. So this was the
Speaker 1: idea that the studios had approached Meryl Street to voice Aslyn,
Speaker 1: who is literally Jesus in the you know, is Christ
Speaker 1: in the Narnia series? Are you you've now come to
Speaker 1: the conclusion that might be true? Huh?
Speaker 2: There There is no indication at this point that it's
Speaker 2: not true.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: This was coming from a friend's kind of strange entertainment
Speaker 2: blog called Nexus Media, and then it finally got picked
Speaker 2: up and substantiated by Deadline Hollywood, which is not insignificant.
Speaker 2: And it does seem that Netflix is going down this road.
Speaker 2: And boy, I've sent an email to I think every
Speaker 2: PR person at Netflix at this point telling them, you
Speaker 2: don't have.
Speaker 1: To do this. Get away from the Narnia. How many
Speaker 1: what's the d are they how many movies they are
Speaker 1: they basically planned to do, because this is one of
Speaker 1: those where they've already secured funding for more than one.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, they have secured funding from more than one
Speaker 2: Narnia movie. They are beginning with The Magician's Nephew, which
Speaker 2: is chronologically the first film, and it covers the creation
Speaker 2: of Narnia Asla breathing Narnia into existence, and the main
Speaker 2: character of that book, Diggery, is going to you know,
Speaker 2: he grows up to be the professor who owns the
Speaker 2: wardrobe at which the original kids go through in the
Speaker 2: line of which in the Wardrobe. So it's a pretty
Speaker 2: effective prequel. There are supposed to be more after that,
Speaker 2: but you know, these things change when when film's mom.
Speaker 2: If the debut is a is a failure, then the
Speaker 2: rest will absolutely be shelved. You know. This is very
Speaker 2: much what happened with the original trilogy from Disney. They
Speaker 2: did Lie In the Witch and the Wardrobe, huge, huge hit,
Speaker 2: and then the other two after it were duds, and
Speaker 2: they started raining in the budget to make those movies
Speaker 2: a little bit less of a loss. This is very
Speaker 2: likely what could happen here. And by the way, I'm
Speaker 2: going to share a link with you and Ross to
Speaker 2: a website where you can send an email to the
Speaker 2: folks at Netflix and the Greta Gerwig production and tell
Speaker 2: them you do not want Aslan to be gender swapped
Speaker 2: for a woman and played by Meryl Streep because we're
Speaker 2: going to need to just send as many people their
Speaker 2: way as we can. This just has to stop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think Read Hastings cares or whoever made
Speaker 1: that call, but it's so frustrating, you know, And it's
Speaker 1: so frustrating because it's such good source material. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like what Amazon did with Tolkien stuff like and
Speaker 1: I have to think that was a little instructive. But
Speaker 1: maybe although aren't they trimming down some of the episodes
Speaker 1: for the next season eight and the writers are all
Speaker 1: freaking out, So that's that's on its way out. So
Speaker 1: I mentioned China obviously, you know with Hollywood productions, how
Speaker 1: does the tariff hit all the nerd stuff? Though, because
Speaker 1: like this is bigger than that. This is video games
Speaker 1: studios production. You know, there's a lot of Chinese IP
Speaker 1: that put out a lot of things that are heavily
Speaker 1: used here in the US. And now we're talking about
Speaker 1: the TikTok band again. So I got just a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. What are the impacts in your world?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, if you're asking about about video game movies,
Speaker 2: I mean I'm really excited about the future video game movies.
Speaker 2: At this point, we've already had Borderlands.
Speaker 1: Weird no, no, I mean with with China, and you know
Speaker 1: a lot of so many ips that are not just movies,
Speaker 1: but like video games and and all of these things,
Speaker 1: there's a Chinese component, especially mobile games. Remember when remember
Speaker 1: when Blizzard tried to suicide itself with Diablo where they
Speaker 1: were going full mobile and they had that really awkward
Speaker 1: blizz on like it'll be interesting to see. Hey, real quick.
Speaker 1: I got forty five seconds. Steve is a we're talking
Speaker 1: about legend toys from our childhood. I had an ad At.
Speaker 1: Is it an ad AD or an ataight?
Speaker 2: You know what? Both are? Okay, but it's an Ata t.
Speaker 1: Now we got mixed things because the weather guy is
Speaker 1: a huge Star Wars guy. He's he's on Team at
Speaker 1: AT and you went at eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's it's at AT. But you know it's totally
Speaker 2: acceptable to just make the sound, you know, ad At
Speaker 2: that's what people would call it, but it's at at all.
Speaker 1: Right, there we go. Now we got to mix. But
Speaker 1: now well Jeff Bellinger will have to break it, so
Speaker 1: we gotta go. I appreciate it, Steve, and we'll chat
Speaker 1: next week, sir. Alright, yeah, there you go. So damn.
Speaker 1: I thought we'd have a clean sweep, but we don't.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back. Hang on. Just tell me.
Speaker 1: Nike is producing an autism footwear line, you know.
Speaker 3: So it's got the puzzle, a Nike Autism collection and
Speaker 3: it's it's the Nike shoe and the swoosh is the
Speaker 3: puzzle pieces of course, which I mean can be good.
Speaker 3: When we went to tweetsee recently, we did wear our
Speaker 3: wake forest fire they did. I saw you guys match
Speaker 3: it in that photo for autism awareness, and we did
Speaker 3: that so people who might be aware would see that
Speaker 3: and if we were having an issue where maybe go
Speaker 3: a little slower than other people, they might be a
Speaker 3: little patient and understanding. So that's why we did that.
Speaker 1: So maybe everyone was yeah, they were okay. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just because here's the thing. It's not that it's bad
Speaker 1: that a brand as big as Nike wants to bring awareness,
Speaker 1: and let's face it, they they have done a very
Speaker 1: good job or that puzzle piece. Even if you don't
Speaker 1: see the word autism, you all know what it is
Speaker 1: right by now. So that's a that's a wonderful branding thing.
Speaker 1: I just think Nike doesn't care really about that that much,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: No, No, it's like how they all change their slogans
Speaker 3: for Pride Month, and it's just you're finding it's just
Speaker 3: not all of them, the ones in this part of
Speaker 3: the world, right, not the ones in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just another way for them to profit
Speaker 3: off something, which I mean, they're in the business to profit,
Speaker 3: so fair play to them.
Speaker 1: But now are they made by autistic slave labor? I
Speaker 1: don't know, And if so, they would probably be like
Speaker 1: the stitching would be pretty.
Speaker 3: Good, perfect shoes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my new thing. That thing that really sets me off,
Speaker 3: that triggers me, okay, I'm not joking, like it really
Speaker 3: pisses me off, is And you're seeing the trend of
Speaker 3: this where you're like, the headline will be a famous
Speaker 3: singer or actress blank right in the middle of filming
Speaker 3: their newest big production. For some things right, Ip finds
Speaker 3: out they're autistic, and it's like, shut up, shut up,
Speaker 3: well are you on?
Speaker 1: Like why I could talk about this question.
Speaker 3: I could talk about it for a long time and
Speaker 3: it can get very angry. And it's so you're telling
Speaker 3: me you're seventeen or eighteen or twenty or twenty five thirty,
Speaker 3: and you've lived your entire life and you're successful singer
Speaker 3: and actress, and you've been on these studios in front
Speaker 3: of bright lights and sound and interacting arena concert and
Speaker 3: interacting and communicating with people and reading lines and being
Speaker 3: and and but now you just found out you're autistic. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: I think it's just the current flex I think because
Speaker 1: like having trans kids is so two years ago, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you got to pivot to something else. Absolutely, Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you're You're not wrong, man, it is. It's pretty dumb. Uh.
Speaker 1: But to be fair, remember they also they already went
Speaker 1: through all of history and retroactively decided who was secretly gay.
Speaker 3: Or auto Yeah, Mozart Einstein new and everybody, Yeah, everybody
Speaker 3: gay or autistic or both. This is a bigger conversation
Speaker 3: that we're probably not going to have. But it came
Speaker 3: down to there used to be this thing called aspergers,
Speaker 3: and now aspergers is known as high functioning autism because
Speaker 3: they put it all under the same umbrella. They put
Speaker 3: aspergers and autism under the same umbrella. And a lot
Speaker 3: of it had to do with medical reasons and billion
Speaker 3: and all of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a whole there's even just a why a
Speaker 1: disagreement on whether it is a mental thing or it
Speaker 1: is a physiological thing.
Speaker 3: It just pisses a lot of people off. And we're
Speaker 3: in the pissed off camp where it's like and every
Speaker 3: time you see somebody on TV like The Good Doctor
Speaker 3: or somebody like the Account movie, right, it's what used
Speaker 3: to be aspergers, right, whereas our son is more severely autistic.
Speaker 3: Like and I always say this before, like, you know,
Speaker 3: if you were to meet Lincoln and you had some
Speaker 3: sort of you know, average intelligence or whatever, it would
Speaker 3: take you about ten seconds to realize that something was
Speaker 3: off and that you know, sure, there's something going on
Speaker 3: there where a lot of the people with aspergers where there.
Speaker 3: When you have aspergers, you don't have a delay in
Speaker 3: communication and a lot of these other issues, So it's
Speaker 3: easy to communicate and read and all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: And you know, Lincoln still talks about himself in the
Speaker 3: third person, and he still does under he's thirteen, and
Speaker 3: he doesn't understand the concept of why. Get Like, if
Speaker 3: you ask him why something, he's not going to be
Speaker 3: able to give you the answers, So you sort of
Speaker 3: have to change your wording to how come you want
Speaker 3: to do this? He doesn't understand why. He doesn't understand
Speaker 3: the concept of money, even though he's super good at
Speaker 3: math in his head. And there's just all these other issues.
Speaker 3: But I am firmly in the camp to aspergers and
Speaker 3: autism specifically, the severity of my sons are two completely
Speaker 3: different things, and they always get looped together, especially in
Speaker 3: the media where everybody who has it is like the
Speaker 3: good doctor or somebody like that. Well that's because so,
Speaker 3: I mean, it makes the storyline. You gotta have this
Speaker 3: thing going on, right, they have to be like some
Speaker 3: X Men superpower person. Yeah, it just pisses me off,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 1: Let me let me get to a because you're right,
Speaker 1: it is a larger discussion, and especially the part about
Speaker 1: whether it's physiological or mental. And then like literally they
Speaker 1: one side is shut out the other side from even
Speaker 1: doing studies.
Speaker 3: Just like people don't get like, my son is always
Speaker 3: going to be like five or six years old in
Speaker 3: some respect, but in other respects he can do these
Speaker 3: amazing things and he can We're listening. We're just happy
Speaker 3: our kid can talk, right, Honestly, I'm just happy my
Speaker 3: kid can talk. And it used to be like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: I want my son to go to college and I
Speaker 3: want to do this, and eventually you realize that there
Speaker 3: are limitations on your child. My kid is always going
Speaker 3: to need somebody to look after him, always going to
Speaker 3: need somebody to care for him. He's never going to
Speaker 3: drive a car. But it's kind of a positive in
Speaker 3: a way because listen, when people have children, one thing
Speaker 3: you always hear is I wish they could be young forever.
Speaker 3: So I've been gifted with the ability God has given
Speaker 3: me a son who will always be young in that respect.
Speaker 3: I'm never going to lose my little boy. I won't
Speaker 3: because he's always going to be like that in some respect. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I choose to look at it as a positive light.
Speaker 1: Is there any portrayal in any moderate amount within a
Speaker 1: top TV or movie series about people who are dealing
Speaker 1: with Lincoln's level of autism or is it because all
Speaker 1: I ever see, You're right, is the Asperger's thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it tends to not to be. Nothing comes off
Speaker 3: the top of my head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't name any of them. All right, let
Speaker 1: me hit a couple of things here, just because we
Speaker 1: got audio. I gotta get to. Oh, let me give
Speaker 1: you the update on the story yesterday before I play
Speaker 1: this insane audio for you. So I told you this
Speaker 1: crazy story about this this guy. He was in an accident.
Speaker 1: This is Los Angeles. He hit and run, gets out
Speaker 1: of his car in some at some point, strips down
Speaker 1: to his boxers and is pretending to garden in this
Speaker 1: yard in the neighborhood adjacent and he has a guitar
Speaker 1: for some reason. And as police are descending upon it,
Speaker 1: the female homeowner comes out with a gun and there
Speaker 1: is some interaction. According to the police report LAPD. And
Speaker 1: there was a lot of them, because you know, when
Speaker 1: they're showing up after a chase, they all show up
Speaker 1: at once. I saw the woman in the house come
Speaker 1: out with the gun. They ordered her eight times to
Speaker 1: drop the gun, and she didn't. They ended up shooting
Speaker 1: at her, hit her on the shoulder, but just grazed her.
Speaker 1: H that's the wife of the dude from Weezer. It
Speaker 1: was the Weezer guy's house. She decided hopefully go ahead
Speaker 1: one more time. They were dist and they were shooting
Speaker 1: his girls. So I have to update that. That whole
Speaker 1: thing's just weird, man, Because at first I thought it
Speaker 1: might have been a language issue, but then I rethinking,
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, in La, like most of the officers
Speaker 1: probably speak some basic Spanish, you'd almost have to, So
Speaker 1: then I didn't know. Maybe it was somewhere else, but nah,
Speaker 1: She's clearly a fifty one year old white woman, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe she just everything that was going on,
Speaker 1: she just froze, But either way wanted the charge. They
Speaker 1: charged her with attempted murder because when she after the
Speaker 1: eighth time told to drop it, she turned her body
Speaker 1: and she still had the pistol out, and you know,
Speaker 1: now it's pointing at the police and they're going to
Speaker 1: shoot you. Did you point that gun at the police,
Speaker 1: especially after your eighth time they're going to shoot you?
Speaker 1: But it's just a really weird story, to be quite honest.
Speaker 1: And then real quick, well let's do this. I'll do
Speaker 1: these cuts in the last segment. Let's get rased age here.
Speaker 1: Oh he's not there yet. All right, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: the cuts in the last segment. This story, a man
Speaker 1: in Nevada was arrested Wednesday, so yesterday after seven tigers
Speaker 1: were seized from his home. Apparently on Nevada you can
Speaker 1: get away with a lot of stuff, but apparently even
Speaker 1: in the wild animal thing is too many tigers. You
Speaker 1: have to have a Oh and you know where it was,
Speaker 1: night County Ross. You know Night County, Nevada, don't you.
Speaker 3: Isn't that it used to be on Patrol Live and
Speaker 3: Life PD.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's all and it's it's definitely different from
Speaker 1: what you see another kid is.
Speaker 3: It's very desolate. There's a lot of dirt and desert
Speaker 3: and trailers, a.
Speaker 1: Lot of cold dead hands people too, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, sure you go out there. They get
Speaker 1: their five acres and they just turned the world off.
Speaker 1: So this dude had seven tigers, which great is two things.
Speaker 1: One at the time police showed up and they became
Speaker 1: aware because he was like letting people film like TikTok
Speaker 1: videos with them, which is that sounds fun? Uh, so
Speaker 1: they show up and he claimed he did not need
Speaker 1: permits because they were his emotional support tigers, which is amazing.
Speaker 3: Ross.
Speaker 1: You want some emotional support tigers, get some of those
Speaker 1: for you. Are you gonna go with dire wolves?
Speaker 3: You know, I just ordered my dire wolves, so well
Speaker 3: what was going to They were off teams, So I
Speaker 3: don't know if that's going to happen now, because these.
Speaker 1: Are going to be fine. Those are not at all
Speaker 1: going to be a donkey with a paint job or
Speaker 1: whatever that zebra was in that Chinese zoo. No real,
Speaker 1: Oh they said, it's oh okay, I'm sorry. I thought
Speaker 1: those are donkeys. Those are many zebras, my bad. And
Speaker 1: and then also where he got the tigers from, heu
Speaker 1: He bought them from Joe Exotic when he was liquidating
Speaker 1: all his stuff before going to prison. So now they're
Speaker 1: Joe Exotics tiger. They're literally the tigers.
Speaker 3: They're like famous tigers.
Speaker 1: They're famous tigers and the emotional support. However, the State
Speaker 1: of Nevada, nor the eighty A, nor anybody recognizes tigers
Speaker 1: as an official emotional support animal. And that's just that
Speaker 1: sounds like anti tiger discrimination to me. You know what,
Speaker 1: I might get seven emotional support tigers just so people
Speaker 1: leave me alone, all right, rased agent from the weather channels.
Speaker 1: Some guys seven tigers and they said wear emotional support.
Speaker 1: Well you have that.
Speaker 5: Well my daughter just got an emotional support puppy. So
Speaker 5: tigers puppies, right, what's the difference.
Speaker 1: Well, one will you hear that noise, and then one
Speaker 1: will eat your ankle, Like yeah, I want will eat
Speaker 1: your puppy? Right? Yeah, so yeah, maybe they'll be friends.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Every now, you know, they always show
Speaker 1: those videos on you're sum on the internet and you're
Speaker 1: scrolling through like Twitter or whatever, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at this lion is letting this hit and cuddle
Speaker 1: up to it. It doesn't even know. We only see
Speaker 1: the ones where it works out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Or up until the point right.
Speaker 1: Right, nobody's posting the video of like, oh we we
Speaker 1: home to coyote and we're gonna introduce it to our
Speaker 1: new kitten and it just eats. Here's what happened next. Yeah,
Speaker 1: ain't nobody posted exactly exactly? All right? I don't want
Speaker 1: it to happen, but stop putting the wild animals next
Speaker 1: to non wild animals. Yes, so let's talk to the
Speaker 1: weather because it will impact my golf watching today, but
Speaker 1: not so much me personally.
Speaker 5: No clouds will start to commander to try out a
Speaker 5: little bit more cloud in points west triangles still see
Speaker 5: in a little more in the way of sunshine, but
Speaker 5: those clouds on the move. No rain today, mid upper sixties,
Speaker 5: maybe seventy for Raleigh down toward Fayettevillain, points east. A
Speaker 5: few showers thunderstorms will start to come in tonight tomorrow.
Speaker 5: There'll be a couple of rounds coming through, so expect
Speaker 5: some breaks at times. Now we're not actually painted at
Speaker 5: any slight risk of severe. We're kind of in the
Speaker 5: light green, which means marginal risk that we could get
Speaker 5: a stronger severe storm too, so we'll be on the
Speaker 5: lookout for that and the showers. A thunder shower should
Speaker 5: inger into Friday night tomorrow li to mid sixties, and
Speaker 5: then as we get to Saturday, still a threat for
Speaker 5: a shower, but the rain will be much less in
Speaker 5: terms of coverage. Mainly cloudy for most of the day,
Speaker 5: mid upper fifties, cool at night, close to forty for
Speaker 5: Sunday morning, than sunshine mid sixties in the afternoon close
Speaker 5: to eighty on Monday. After we get through tonight, tomorrow
Speaker 5: and tomorrow night, I think we're really going to go
Speaker 5: on a nice run, especially by the end of the
Speaker 5: weekend and early next week. We talked about augusta earlier,
Speaker 5: but there is rain in the forecast late today, early tonight,
Speaker 5: and some rounds of showers and thunder showers tomorrow, not
Speaker 5: all day rain, and I think the second part of
Speaker 5: the day looks better than the first.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, thank you sir. We'll talk tomorrow and
Speaker 1: we'll talks up with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on.
Speaker 6: Well, good morning, Casey. This report sponsored by Total Wine
Speaker 6: and More. There is a better than expected inflation report
Speaker 6: from Washington. The Consumer Price Index, the government's gauge retail
Speaker 6: level inflation, fell a tenth of a percent last month.
Speaker 6: The core CPI, which omits volatile food and energy costs,
Speaker 6: was up just a tenth.
Speaker 1: Of a percent.
Speaker 6: The cost of airline fares, car insurance, use, car prices,
Speaker 6: and recreation all went down. Talk about a dramatic turnround.
Speaker 6: Relief over President Trump's decision to delay most of his
Speaker 6: aggressive new tariffs triggered a dramatic midweek rebound on Wall Street,
Speaker 6: but the futures suggest the party on Wall Street could.
Speaker 1: Be over when the opening bell rings this morning.
Speaker 6: Right now, the IDOU futures are down five hundred and
Speaker 6: eighty three points, about one and a half percent. Investors
Speaker 6: are focused now on the potential long term damage from
Speaker 6: the tariffs and tariff threats. There was a lot of
Speaker 6: discussion about inflation at the last Federal Reserve Board policy meeting.
Speaker 6: Minutes from that session indicate central bankers are concerned about
Speaker 6: an increased risk of stagflation. That's an economic scenario in
Speaker 6: which prices rise as economic growth slows. The director of
Speaker 6: the White House Economic Council says talks with some of
Speaker 6: the nation's trading partners are already well along. Kevin Hassett
Speaker 6: was on CNBC this morning. He said some deals were
Speaker 6: close to done last week. President Trump is indicated he
Speaker 6: would like to see iPhones produced here in the US.
Speaker 6: US at Bank of America say it might be possible
Speaker 6: to move final assembly to the US, but moving the
Speaker 6: entire supply chain could take years if it were even
Speaker 6: doable at all, and be of A says the cost
Speaker 6: of an iPhone could nearly double and the Casey, this
Speaker 6: might get some bipartisan support. If you hate having to
Speaker 6: run around in the shower to get wet, President Trump
Speaker 6: hates it too, and he's done something about it. The
Speaker 6: President signed an executive order relaxing the rules that limit
Speaker 6: waterflow to showerheads.
Speaker 1: See two and a half gallons a minute is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I have to I have to agree with you on
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, hey, real quick. In the Star Wars movies,
Speaker 1: they had that walker thing that they Is it called

Speaker 1: it called an ad ad or an ataight?
Speaker 6: What is your You know, I've seen each of the
Speaker 6: Star Wars movies once, but I cannot remember that either.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, between a couple of our other people,
Speaker 1: all right, thanks, Jeff, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Okay, have a good day.
Speaker 1: So the question will remain unanswered because it's a tie.
Speaker 1: So I guess we'll just have to go with that,
Speaker 1: right there. I got a great Florida man, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna roll this over to tomorrow though, because uh, we'll tie.
Speaker 1: Only got two minutes now, hey, real quick, anytime I

Speaker 1: was telling a rather interesting story yesterday.
Speaker 7: NBA goes further than that, Maria things is outrageous as
Speaker 7: trying to get workers back into the office. We actually
Speaker 7: had workers that showed up at the office to protest
Speaker 7: having to come back to work at the office. So
Speaker 7: we're finding all kinds of things with right, let me.
Speaker 1: Let me just lay this out. So they ordered, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: you got to come into the office, and they're like no,
Speaker 1: and they're like, now, well you have to. You're gonna
Speaker 1: lose your job. So they then came into the office,
Speaker 1: but instead of going to work, they stood outside with
Speaker 1: signs and protests and still got fired. And are somehow
Speaker 1: wondering how that may have went down. It was just
Speaker 1: so much craziness, dude, when you were dumbing this and
Speaker 1: you see the look on Bernie Sanders face. So Anderson
Speaker 1: Cooper was hosting a town hall with Bernie Sanders yesterday
Speaker 1: and this appoll the apple Senator Bernie Sanders. I want
