Speaker 1: Sorry. One of my programs that I forgot to log
Speaker 1: into literally is I was just getting started now requires
Speaker 1: me to pop open the Outlook at Ross, is this
Speaker 1: for YouTube? Open the Outlook app, and then do a
Speaker 1: face thing with my phone.
Speaker 2: I've never seen that. That's not seeing that awful.
Speaker 1: That's awful. It worked, geez man. Yeah, because normally I'm
Speaker 1: straggling Ross and I are talking about whatever's going on
Speaker 1: off the air, and it's it's literally just one other
Speaker 1: thing and I can literally type it in while I'm talking.
Speaker 1: And just made me do that, So that's oh, you
Speaker 1: know what, It's probably a trap. Ross. You know that.
Speaker 1: You know the lady who emails us the traps all
Speaker 1: day and then we're like not supposed to click on anything,
Speaker 1: so they don't click on any That's.
Speaker 2: Their job to come up with traps to fool people.
Speaker 1: Just like cyber information vice president person and I how
Speaker 1: she has like the blueprint for your face and she's
Speaker 1: gonna make a mask in your face. Oh no, commit
Speaker 1: it's gonna stay on. My face will stay on.
Speaker 2: No, no, she's gonna wear the mask of your face.
Speaker 1: Oh, so my face will be off me and on
Speaker 1: her like face off. Oh no, oh, I just can't
Speaker 1: stand Oh man, this is why we needed a three
Speaker 1: day weekend to hide from dude. That is so what
Speaker 1: a random thing just to switch up, all right, But
Speaker 1: that might be me too, because my email has been
Speaker 1: acting so squirrely with the native iPhone app after the
Speaker 1: iOS update. You can ask Ross, I've had some negative
Speaker 1: things to say.
Speaker 2: Uh, maybe that's because I then had to reload the
Speaker 2: Outlook app.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll find out. So coming up on
Speaker 1: the show today, Pete callen Er will join us for
Speaker 1: the last time. Maybe though, right Rosters just telling me
Speaker 1: something horrendous.
Speaker 2: I was gonna listen, I was gonna wait, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: drop the bomb on Pete Calendar. Oh no, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: drop the bomb is going to be dropped midday w
Speaker 2: b T.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is Pete. We chat every Friday. People seem
Speaker 1: to like him. He's not as weird as Jeff Bellinger, right,
Speaker 1: nobody thinks he's an alien, all right? So what what?
Speaker 1: What horrible skeleton is in this guy's called?
Speaker 2: Right, So I'm gonna drop the bomb? Are you ready?
Speaker 1: I'm I'm literally leaning against the wall and holding onto
Speaker 1: the bar.
Speaker 2: Pete Calendar go ahead. Pete Calendar has been banned from
Speaker 2: the Olive Garden.
Speaker 1: What that's it? That's the bomb? What? What? What is that?
Speaker 1: You can't trust him? You can't trust him? How do you?
Speaker 1: How does one do that? How does one come back
Speaker 1: from that? But how does one do that? Oh? Man?
Speaker 2: He went to the bathroom at the Olive Garden with
Speaker 2: the stall door open, and he was like, hey, I
Speaker 2: thought we were family here and they were like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get out here. The family does right, yeah?
Speaker 2: Right, your band? Oh man, that's the bomb. So now
Speaker 2: we have beef or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll have beef. Beef's good for ratings. Right.
Speaker 1: Do you think Kanye will come in and try to
Speaker 1: mediate this beef?
Speaker 2: I hope?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Ah, what is happening? What is happening? Now? Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: The media has never been so excited. They didn't even
Speaker 1: have to make They didn't have to make something up.
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna make parts of it up, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, motives and things like that, but
Speaker 1: like there's a there there. They didn't have to go
Speaker 1: a whole hog Russian kalue. Ah, what do we do?
Speaker 1: Let's say use a manchurin candidate. All right, get it,
Speaker 1: stat let's do it like they didn't have to do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, Like, you know, the most powerful man on the
Speaker 2: planet and the richest on the planet having beef, that's
Speaker 2: a story.
Speaker 1: That is a story. Look if I got to listen
Speaker 1: to two OnlyFans hose or reality show hose have beef
Speaker 1: and then they report on it for years for reasons
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't even know who these people are. Still, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the richest man and the most powerful man having beef
Speaker 1: is probably a better storyline, probably not a good one,
Speaker 1: And just like it creates these weird scenarios. And I've
Speaker 1: noticed I have noticed a lot of our audience who
Speaker 1: are probably Trump and Musk fans, going, yah, I'll just
Speaker 1: sit this one out, or some combination of that, or
Speaker 1: Musk is just musket. Trump's just doing what he's doing.
Speaker 1: Must doesn't get it, but I think I don't know.
Speaker 1: Musk kind of gets stuffed too. So and then there's
Speaker 1: an argument over whether the CBO with the with maintaining
Speaker 1: the Trump tax cuts is doing their games, which I'm
Speaker 1: sure some of that is because that's what the CBO
Speaker 1: historically has done. And I don't know, but I just
Speaker 1: know that the media is so excited, they're so happy.
Speaker 2: And hand in hand with that, and you probably mean
Speaker 2: the same thing, but like the Democrats as well, because.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was my Yes, that's the other half
Speaker 1: of this where things are weird because all of you
Speaker 1: who are like, no, that's hitlor No, that's Hitler, No,
Speaker 1: that's Hitler, And you're like, ah, who's more Hitler Hitlary?
Speaker 1: Who's more Hitlary? And they're like they're both, They're the worst. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hate them. Now you got a root for one?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? I mean it's one
Speaker 1: thing on the on the right where somebody has to
Speaker 1: look at two people that they probably really liked and
Speaker 1: now they may make a decision that they like one less.
Speaker 1: Although a lot of them are kind of just like whatever,
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes. You were all in on there,
Speaker 1: both Satan and you, and like remember, like the attacks
Speaker 1: on Elon Musk were full scale. They were full scale.
Speaker 1: They wanted and Steve Bannon is a lunatic. Steve Bannon,
Speaker 1: uh over the New York Post. They got a big thing,
Speaker 1: but he was he was going off, man, Oh no,
Speaker 1: where is this on Trump to deport Elon Musk and
Speaker 1: seize SpaceX.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is going to be a dude without a
Speaker 2: country now, like he's going to be on an island
Speaker 2: because like you said, they.
Speaker 1: Don't like evil genius. If you think he's evil, which
Speaker 1: I don't, by the way, but you don't want an
Speaker 1: evil genius with his own island and all the money.
Speaker 1: Have we not seen this play out?
Speaker 2: It is so dumb too from people on the right,
Speaker 2: specifically like Ungress, like to alienate somebody like you had
Speaker 2: your own George Soros that would be able to fund
Speaker 2: every campaign to the end of time and not even
Speaker 2: blink about its gonna and right now and now you
Speaker 2: made a super villain who's off at both sides.
Speaker 1: If he gets a hairless cat, you should all retire.
Speaker 1: You don't you know what what's coming? Man, it's a
Speaker 1: hairless cat, his own island, like Ross just talked about,
Speaker 1: Zuck got one. You think Musk couldn't find one. There's
Speaker 1: lots of islands for sale. You want to, like Johnny
Speaker 1: Depp seven, what if it's a work. Have you considered that.
Speaker 2: I am an individual who believes that the Montreal Screwjob
Speaker 2: was a work. So I'm willing to like look at
Speaker 2: things and look a little deeper or dumber than most people,
Speaker 2: depending on where your position is.
Speaker 1: Would you explain them Montreal screwed Job, Please, just real
Speaker 1: quick for people what you're talking about. It is not
Speaker 1: a brothel raid.
Speaker 2: No. It was a classic match between Shawn Michaels and
Speaker 2: Brett Hart. And Brett Hart was champion at the time
Speaker 2: of the WWF or they call it w WE whatever,
Speaker 2: and they were having this match believe it was what
Speaker 2: was it Survivor Series, I'm not sure, but it was
Speaker 2: they were. It was in Montreal and Brett was supposed
Speaker 2: to get Brett was supposed to give up the belt
Speaker 2: to Shawn Michaels because he was leaving, right he was
Speaker 2: going to leave, and Vince McMahon screwed him over by
Speaker 2: letting Shawn Michaels away right right, And it was like
Speaker 2: a big deal and people are like, oh, it was
Speaker 2: a real thing that happened, and Vince McMahon screwed him
Speaker 2: over and this is why he went to w c
Speaker 2: W and it started the Attitude era, and some people
Speaker 2: believe the entire thing was a work done by Brett
Speaker 2: Hart and Jim Cornett and I'm kind of there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but recently I've sort of moved away. But what I'm
Speaker 2: saying is I can look at something and be like,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe it's a work. Maybe yes, this, I don't
Speaker 2: think so, Oh you don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I think the Montreal screwjob is more has a chance
Speaker 2: of being a work more than this. Okay, yeah, and
Speaker 2: that's a streat.
Speaker 1: Bringing Kanye in to mediate though, I mean again, I
Speaker 1: can't reiterate how and now they didn't bring him in.
Speaker 1: He just popped in like a like a prairie dog.
Speaker 2: Just yeah. But he took a break from posting swastikause
Speaker 2: to be like, hey, you guys need to chill out.
Speaker 1: Did you not see where he took his Hitler song
Speaker 1: and he changed the to like Jesus or something? Oh?
Speaker 4: Did?
Speaker 1: He but kept the song the same, It changed like
Speaker 1: two words. Why so it'll get airplay? I don't. I
Speaker 1: still don't think it's gonna work. I don't. I have
Speaker 1: no idea that maybe I I I have to look
Speaker 1: up what it was. But it was so weird. It
Speaker 1: was but it was last weekend and I didn't care.
Speaker 1: So what is going on. Man, Oh no, Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: unseated as world's youngest self made female billionaire. The hits
Speaker 1: keep coming. Yeah, but the Steve Bannon thing here? What
Speaker 1: what Steve Banner calls on Trump to deport Elon Musk
Speaker 1: and see SpaceX quote strong belief that he is an
Speaker 1: illegal alien? What are we doing here? This is not helpful.
Speaker 1: I And by the way, I'm fine. I The one
Speaker 1: thing that you'll not see reported in all of this
Speaker 1: is when was the last time you had two really
Speaker 1: high profile Democrats with a beef like this over over
Speaker 1: a big, big, big issue. When was the last time
Speaker 1: that happened?
Speaker 2: Anything that came close to maybe when Kamala took over
Speaker 2: the presidency of the campaign to you know, try to
Speaker 2: get elected and they kind of push Biden out, but
Speaker 2: that I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not but even that, not really But.
Speaker 2: There was this line, right, there wasn't this sort of
Speaker 2: like public bickering.
Speaker 1: So right, yeah, I mean you knew it was going
Speaker 1: on there, So I don't know. Old thing's a mess,
Speaker 1: all right? Coming up on the show, Like I said,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Pete Calendar perhaps for the last time,
Speaker 1: because Ross has beef now maybe I don't know. Does
Speaker 1: Pete know you have beef?
Speaker 2: No, it has no idea.
Speaker 1: Oh man, he's gonna be blind sided. Oh it's gonna
Speaker 1: be great. So we'll do that at eight oh five.
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of other stuff to get into
Speaker 1: as well. But right now six nineteen, hang on back
Speaker 1: in a few so we we just renovated the studios
Speaker 1: in Raleigh. Greensboro was renovated because we moved to a
Speaker 1: new location, so I was a little more familiar with
Speaker 1: the layout from popping over to Greensboro to do broadcast.
Speaker 1: Ross had not seen the full new kitchen layout, the
Speaker 1: standardized iHeart radio layouts. What's your beefing?
Speaker 2: Is the microwave the same way in Greensboro? Yes, it's
Speaker 2: the dumbest.
Speaker 1: Man, It's so dumb. Ross Like Ross, he made a
Speaker 1: video of himself yelling at the floor in the microwave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said some videos and sent them to market
Speaker 2: this morning. Yeah, and I just I sent you the
Speaker 2: copy of it. Yeah, because the microwave.
Speaker 1: Is on the floor, it's not technically on the face
Speaker 1: like it's it's a cabinet set up, and the microwave
Speaker 1: is you know, built in but below counter.
Speaker 2: Microwave should be on the counter or above the counter,
Speaker 2: like like on like a shelf.
Speaker 1: But it's a specific type. It's a specific But you've
Speaker 1: got aesthetic and there's a style, guy, you've got to
Speaker 1: do I'm not making that up. There's a style.
Speaker 2: It's well, it's dumb. You've got to do a full
Speaker 2: squat all the way down, Yeah, to push the buttons
Speaker 2: put any food in.
Speaker 1: And it's very close. It's you're on the floor, so
Speaker 1: you're not on the you're not tactically on the floor.
Speaker 1: You what do you do before you work out?
Speaker 2: Listen, you're you're like six foot something. You're gonna throw
Speaker 2: out your back trying to use this microwave.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you're concerned.
Speaker 2: I know I'm being one thousand percent serious. Anybody listen.
Speaker 1: It's look, it's so dumb with you. It's dumb. I
Speaker 1: just don't use.
Speaker 2: I honestly thought of you this morning when I looked
Speaker 2: at it, because you're a tall dude, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to go in there, and you're gonna
Speaker 2: it's gonna be impossible for you to make food in this.
Speaker 2: That's they don't want you to eat. That's the point.
Speaker 2: They want you to say, want me stretched?
Speaker 1: They want you to limber up and do the thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, it didn't make any sense to me either when
Speaker 1: I first sat in Greensboro.
Speaker 2: Who's that morbidly obese country guy that won like like
Speaker 2: a jelly roll If you're like a jelly roll type
Speaker 2: guy and you roll in here and you're like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm visiting the Ihrist, I'm gonna get some to eat maybe,
Speaker 2: and he goes in there.
Speaker 1: You're going to kill the man. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: I think he's doing the ozepic. Now, Oh is he?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I saw something whatever.
Speaker 2: Well, so he might be able to make the squad
Speaker 2: to heat up his hot pops.
Speaker 1: I get it. He might be able to pull it off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you not know microwaves on the ground, phones higher
Speaker 1: up and things not re expect them. So it's just
Speaker 1: and it's more than it's a conscious decision because it's a.
Speaker 2: Style guide, right, So it's in like all the building's nuts.
Speaker 2: Like if I rented an Airbnb and I went in
Speaker 2: the kitchen and the microwave was on the floor, I
Speaker 2: had to do a floor It is on the floor, No,
Speaker 2: it isn't you know it isn't It's much lower than
Speaker 2: it is, much lower than oven level. You need to
Speaker 2: do a full squad, yes, that is true, but he's
Speaker 2: on the floor. You need to do a full squat
Speaker 2: to use the microwave. I don't even use the microwave.
Speaker 2: It's just dumb. I'm looking at it like you might
Speaker 2: as well put the phones on the ceilings, same thing,
Speaker 2: you know, and it would be symbolic of you need
Speaker 2: you need to rise at the occasion to make the sale.
Speaker 2: It's like one of those the motivational motivational posters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the little frog hanging out the thing hang on, buddy,
Speaker 1: you got this, you can do this, or the jet one,
Speaker 1: or any of the stupid ones they put up there.
Speaker 1: I liked. I did like how those became so mockable
Speaker 1: that occasionally you'd roll into a hip place of work
Speaker 1: and you could because you could buy really funny parody
Speaker 1: ones of those. Did you ever see any of those?
Speaker 1: And then people would just they'd be like randomly put
Speaker 1: in there to see if anyone was paying attention. I
Speaker 1: saw one, and I remember it was one of our listeners.
Speaker 1: I think swapped it out at where they work. If
Speaker 1: they work somewhere down in Sandford. I just remember it
Speaker 1: was one of the funniest emails ever got. They swapped
Speaker 1: it out. They look like it, but it was a parody.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was the frog one,
Speaker 1: but of the motivational posters, and he just swapped it
Speaker 1: out one day and he said, nobody noticed time.
Speaker 2: How I said the video to Marquee before I sent
Speaker 2: it to you. So she wrote back and she goes,
Speaker 2: maybe there's a little person they're trying to accommodate Tampa.
Speaker 1: I told you about Tampa. You're talking about Schnitt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Schnitt. Todd Schnitt did a morning show in tama
Speaker 1: I guess he does it again now. But he did
Speaker 1: it for many many years under the moniker MJ MJ
Speaker 1: in the morning, very popular show, and they had one
Speaker 1: of the one of the team members. And it was
Speaker 1: not a talk show per se. It was a Zukru
Speaker 1: morning show. And one of his co hosts was a
Speaker 1: little person.
Speaker 2: Oh I thought, I thought you meant Schnitt was the
Speaker 2: little person.
Speaker 1: Now, now that's not fair. Joe PAGs is much shorter.
Speaker 1: Sean Hanley too, So what isn't as handedy a small person.
Speaker 1: Is he like, is he tiny dude?
Speaker 3: He is?
Speaker 1: Yeah, really he's fun size. Oh I had no idea,
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I had no idea either until years
Speaker 1: and years and years ago during the RNC and Saint
Speaker 1: Paul's this would be well before I ever are broadcast
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. Fox News had a you know, they
Speaker 1: had an event as part of the RNC and they
Speaker 1: all their hosts are there. It was a dinner. So
Speaker 1: since we were the Fox News radio station, we got
Speaker 1: the invite over to the dinner thing. And Sean was there,
Speaker 1: and Glenn Beck was there and no Limbaugh. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and I will say this, he was incredibly Sean Henny
Speaker 1: was incredibly nice. But yeah, there's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: in the radio. They're a lot shorter than you think.
Speaker 1: So anyway, but back to back to Tampa. So one
Speaker 1: of Schnid's Zuokru morning show guys was a little person.
Speaker 1: So if you the first time I ever broadcast out
Speaker 1: of the Tampa iHeart facility, I'm walking around, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what was was What's going on with these doors man?
Speaker 1: Because you got every these heavy studio doors, they have
Speaker 1: the regular handle and then they would have a handle
Speaker 1: down on the floor basically, but like a ster already
Speaker 1: won because these doors are really heavy, the radio station doors,
Speaker 1: because you know, it's essentially soundproofing the room. And then
Speaker 1: they would have those and then you go in the
Speaker 1: bathroom and then they have like a little sink and
Speaker 1: paper towel thing and a super low urinalise.
Speaker 2: I mean that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, yeah, And I think it was part of
Speaker 1: a kind of a bit but a previous renovation they
Speaker 1: did on it, and I don't know if it still
Speaker 1: persists there that I haven't been back to the Tampa
Speaker 1: facility in quite a number of years. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: they they went through the whole Rigama row there. But
Speaker 1: they also got slushy machines slushy machines there. So like
Speaker 1: those guys are living high on the hog down in Tampa,
Speaker 1: all right, a little distracted, they're apologize, which let me
Speaker 1: do this. Yeah, so I hate to ruin this very
Speaker 1: fun discussion about.
Speaker 2: What is this.
Speaker 1: I googled and it said Sean is six foot all right,
Speaker 1: then go with Google, sir, go with Google. How's that? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's it's not He's not a He's not a dwarf.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just I don't know. It's just some people.
Speaker 1: Glenn Back's taller. Do you think he is?
Speaker 2: You know, you know, I would think the opposite. I
Speaker 2: would think, like right Back was small, and I would
Speaker 2: think Hannity is tall. So that's weird.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, it's it's nothing crazy. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just it was just the thing that popped in
Speaker 1: the head. I don't know you guys have met For
Speaker 1: those of you who met Ross and I had a
Speaker 1: listener event, you never met us before. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you the number of times people are like I just
Speaker 1: assumed you had three heads, or I thought you were
Speaker 1: a skinny person. Somebody said that to me once. That
Speaker 1: was nice, thank you. What's truth? So we said that
Speaker 1: a listener event, I thought you were skinny. I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: what gave you that impression? What would have conveyed that information.
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly's like eight foot two. Did you know that
Speaker 2: he's like nine feet tall?
Speaker 1: What was he in this?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in the studio, but I didn't I
Speaker 1: didn't meet him, right.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, the dude is like eleven feet tall.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I think you're making stuff.
Speaker 2: The dude is like the Nephilom.
Speaker 1: He's like stuff stuff being speaking of making stuff up,
Speaker 1: you want to hear some stuff made up, because apparently
Speaker 1: that's what we do. So remember we told you that
Speaker 1: the the family of the Boulder, Colorado terrorist LEDs terrorists there.
Speaker 1: They're like, ah, you're getting insta deported. And and and
Speaker 1: again I pointed out I thought that they I knew
Speaker 1: they had different visas. I did not realize theirs was
Speaker 1: had expired as well. So and also I still don't
Speaker 1: know how they came to go ahead and to acquire those visas.
Speaker 1: So the big a lot of questions there. So anyway,
Speaker 1: they're like, well, this isn't working out, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: send you back to your country of origin in this
Speaker 1: case Egypt. And then a judge stepped in. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't do that, because that's all the judges do now,
Speaker 1: just basically run the other branches of government. Well, a
Speaker 1: little bit of an issue, a little bit of an issue. Here,
Speaker 1: here we go those two. There's two things on this story.
Speaker 1: Why is this thing being a jerk? All right? Here
Speaker 1: we go. One the lawyer this guy hired, which I'll
Speaker 1: get to here in just a moment. But this right
Speaker 1: here after, USA Today wrote a glowing piece. Here's what
Speaker 1: it says, said boulders excuse to be bolder. Suspect's daughter
Speaker 1: dreamed of studying medicine. Now she faces deportation. Yep, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this. You can study medicine
Speaker 1: in Egypt. I actually had a doctor in the US
Speaker 1: who was originally from Egypt. He went there. I know
Speaker 1: he did medical school here too, but he was a
Speaker 1: doctor in Egypt. Then he came to the United States
Speaker 1: and did the doctor thing here. So like it can happen,
Speaker 1: probably isn't gonna happen for you, but you can go.
Speaker 1: You know, you can go in Egypt and be a doctor.
Speaker 1: They need doctors, I think, and I remember Egypt being
Speaker 1: like one of the highest rates of doctors in that
Speaker 1: part of the world too. For some weird reason. You
Speaker 1: know which country has the highest rate of doctors as
Speaker 1: per one hundred thousand It's really strange. Ross. Do you
Speaker 1: know what country has the most doctors per capita?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think the guests would probably be But
Speaker 2: you're saying it's not going to because it's some weird
Speaker 2: answer like Japan or India or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone would think that. No, not not even not
Speaker 1: even the right side of the world, Western Argentina. No, no,
Speaker 1: you got the language correct though. Cuba. Huh. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of doctors they are, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure you know. Yeah, that was one of the Fidel's
Speaker 1: big things. He's like, ah, everything sucks, and if you
Speaker 1: don't do stuff, we'll seize your land. And we're throwing
Speaker 1: everyone who's gay or voted against me or doesn't like
Speaker 1: me in this prison over here to die. You know,
Speaker 1: we need a bunch of doctors. And so they literally
Speaker 1: just started churning out doctors. Man, so now they have
Speaker 1: the highest per capita number of doctors. And then he
Speaker 1: would use it to brag about his health health insurance there,
Speaker 1: and then Michael remember when Michael Moore fell for it,
Speaker 1: when he went down to Cuba and he's like, this
Speaker 1: is great, look at this, this is amazing. But they
Speaker 1: took over to the propaganda hospital. Yeah, that's what that
Speaker 1: was about. So yeah, Cuba's the answer. So you know,
Speaker 1: Egypt's probably better in Cuba, So there you go, all right,
Speaker 1: But then I saw this, and I always love when
Speaker 1: people who basically have no use for religion. Start making
Speaker 1: the religious argument, right, they'll ignore it all day. The
Speaker 1: policies they advocate for the beefs that they have the
Speaker 1: respect for the practice of it in the visible manner,
Speaker 1: they have no tolerance for any of that. But when
Speaker 1: they want to get trump man, they're all about the Bible.
Speaker 1: Here we go that.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Sachs, the writer is a college professor first, I
Speaker 2: think at Acadia.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's up in the Pacific Northwest with all
Speaker 1: those lunatics. He's just one example of several. But he
Speaker 1: went and posted the whole thing. He said, do not
Speaker 1: punish a child for the crimes of the parent. It's
Speaker 1: a concept so powerfully obvious that even God was forced
Speaker 1: to accept it. First of all, was God forced to
Speaker 1: accept it? That's that's a question. But there it is. Ross.
Speaker 1: You probably just got done reading this. It's in Deuteronomy.
Speaker 1: You have taught me as as you live. I am
Speaker 1: avoiding my words and fulfilling your words. As is stated,
Speaker 1: fathers shall not put to be put to death for children,
Speaker 1: and children shall not be put to death for fathers.
Speaker 2: Right, but they're not being put to death. They're being
Speaker 2: sent back home and they all broke the law right
Speaker 2: when they came.
Speaker 1: Here takes you know, the Bibles and allegory.
Speaker 2: But they came here like a visa, right they did,
Speaker 2: and then it was in a way it expired. Yeah,
Speaker 2: are you sent wild?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: I mean put to death is an analogy for being
Speaker 1: sent back to Egypt? Oh it is? Okay, I guess
Speaker 1: I don't know. But also that person's.
Speaker 2: But also God didn't accept it. He gave the laws
Speaker 2: to Moses, so no.
Speaker 1: He accepted, he says, to learn the guy's tweet. Okay,
Speaker 1: God was forced to accept it. Yeah, probably gunpoint. I
Speaker 1: don't know what.
Speaker 2: Kind of leverage do you have to have to pull
Speaker 2: that off.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, that's somebody with some sway. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. Yeah, yeah, I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: When we start going through the the Hey, remember this,
Speaker 1: this this Bible thing I heard about one time. I
Speaker 1: have no use for in most of my life. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, second Kings, rass second Kings, Deuteronomy
Speaker 1: and second Kings. And the Lord commanded saying, father's will
Speaker 1: not be put to death for children, and children will
Speaker 1: not be put to death for fathers.
Speaker 2: Right, So we're not putting them to death. That's that's so.
Speaker 1: But we're not doing that. So I'm not a biblical scholar.
Speaker 1: I don't I I I don't know. So yeah. Also,
Speaker 1: that's a really good argument against reparations, now that you
Speaker 1: bring it up, sir, you know what I'm saying. That's
Speaker 1: a good point. Yeah, that is a great point. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: you brought it up twice. Oh I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: memory hold that. Yeah. Right, so no, no reparations. Good,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm glad. I'm glad we agree on this.
Speaker 1: You absolute flaming lunatics. What is wrong with you? What
Speaker 1: is wrong with you? It says put to death in
Speaker 1: both instances, and you're not able to and what you're
Speaker 1: like wall like that. It could be any penalty doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything. And by the way, they're not being they're
Speaker 1: not even being deported for their father's crimes. Their technically
Speaker 1: are here illegally.
Speaker 2: Right, that's what I had mentioned, right, So like.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, did bring that up.
Speaker 2: It's their individual crime. So because they have committed it.
Speaker 1: Yes, and she's by the way that the girl uts
Speaker 1: go to medical is an adult, so that's a g Yes,
Speaker 1: she's eighteen. It might be nineteen. It's absurd. So that's
Speaker 1: that's an adult. That person can vote. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: they can't or they I hope they didn't. But if
Speaker 1: they were here legally and they were a citizen or
Speaker 1: you know, they could vote.
Speaker 2: You mentioned before they you know, she had the dreams
Speaker 2: of being a doctor. Now I have a question about
Speaker 2: now the people that were set on fire. Did they
Speaker 2: have dreams of being set on fire? Was that like
Speaker 2: their dream? What were their dreams? What aunt for the.
Speaker 1: One lady got set on fire? Her dreams was to
Speaker 1: sue the Trump administration over stopping asylum immigrants. I'm not
Speaker 1: making that up. One of the people got set on
Speaker 1: fire is part of a nonprofit that sued the Trump
Speaker 1: administration after they started halting asylum cases coming in from
Speaker 1: the Middle East. Think about that. I came in from Egypt.
Speaker 1: I'm pres can is the milon Ross? Would you see
Speaker 1: if Egypt is in the Middle East? Ross gonna look
Speaker 1: that up? Is checking checking? Is it near all that stuff?
Speaker 2: It's coming up here? It's a it's an Africa and
Speaker 2: they're all black.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right? Who because I thought it was,
Speaker 1: you know, basically a peninsula away from Israel. And right
Speaker 1: up in all this so okay, yeah, no, I suspect
Speaker 1: getting lit on fire was not their dreams there I
Speaker 1: do then the amount of insane announcis and this thing
Speaker 1: is just off the charts. What is what is it
Speaker 1: like the the l Salvador MS thirteen guy didn't work
Speaker 1: out for you? They're like, well, she's not at least
Speaker 1: she's not the terrorist in the family. And she's not
Speaker 1: then I know of, but also she's also not the
Speaker 1: person who has legal status to stay in the country
Speaker 1: like I I don't even I don't even know what
Speaker 1: the family was planning on doing. His work authorization ran up.
Speaker 1: That's weird. How would he work? Judging by a video
Speaker 1: floating around from Virginia, we may have some answers.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so this is this is the next martyrdom,
Speaker 1: This is the next hill that they're gonna die on.
Speaker 1: Is are you gonna are democrats going to go into
Speaker 1: the facility where they I don't even know where they
Speaker 1: are go sit around is? I'm sure CNN will run
Speaker 1: in there, want to do an interview, a big, weepy
Speaker 1: interview like they did with the the Columbia University protester's wife.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm pregnant. Now what's what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: And it's like, I don't know, maybe her husband should
Speaker 1: be running around like kill the Jews. You can't go
Speaker 1: to school because you're Jewish. We're blocking the door. And
Speaker 1: they did the big weepy interview. That's common, that's common.
Speaker 1: I remember. The video that is most in formative and
Speaker 1: most instructive on this is a video not from CNN,
Speaker 1: not for any of that, but rather from the father himself,
Speaker 1: who said point blank the jihad against the Zionists is
Speaker 1: more important than his mother and his wife and his family.
Speaker 1: Dude was committed. So that's you know, that video should
Speaker 1: be somewhat instructive when reviewing some of these things. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll something to chew on there. I mentioned
Speaker 1: the guy's lawyer. I only got about thirty seconds here,
Speaker 1: so let me do this. I will. I will come
Speaker 1: back and just give you the details there. That's I
Speaker 1: don't understand what's going on there. I would have assumed
Speaker 1: one of these moon bad organizations would have given him
Speaker 1: a super duper lawyer, but this guy who's his lawyer,
Speaker 1: I's just wait for it. We'll do that We've got
Speaker 1: Pete Calender coming up at eight oh five. Lots to
Speaker 1: get to it is the CaCO Day radio program. Hang on,
Speaker 1: coming up, We're gonna play some view audio. It's not
Speaker 1: because I hate you, but because it's that stupid I
Speaker 1: have to. I have to play the audio from the
Speaker 1: view of Whoopee Goldberg saying the things she's gonna say, well,
Speaker 1: a couple things she's gonna say, and then, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I just want you to analyze it when you hear it.
Speaker 1: We'll do that here in just a little bit. I
Speaker 1: just saw this ross. Uh oh. The Oriental Massage spa
Speaker 1: in El Paso, Texas has been shut down temporarily after
Speaker 1: an investigation showed that the employees were not doing the
Speaker 1: regular massages, but rather the ones that Robert Kraft likes.
Speaker 1: You know, the owner of the Patriots was worth like
Speaker 1: millions of dollars and still goes to a sixty dollars
Speaker 1: little Robbie Tuggy thing here, So there you go. Yes,
Speaker 1: an investigation that was launched the beginning of the year
Speaker 1: culminated on Friday as a state judge in Texas temporarily
Speaker 1: shut down So what if they start giving regular massages.
Speaker 1: They're back in business. The location is five months long
Speaker 1: enough of an investigation. January, February, March, April May, I
Speaker 1: mean May thirtieth, was this day? Five months?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: You do you even have an idea? What's going on
Speaker 1: in there? Yeah? You got you gotta get this thing
Speaker 1: to a year, man, Like, maybe it was an accident
Speaker 1: each time your officer went in there over the last
Speaker 1: five months, and inadvertently that happened, right, Maybe it was
Speaker 1: just an inexperienced messuse. Nahta you gotta run that thing
Speaker 1: for minimum six months I think is the rule here
Speaker 1: on the show, but probably closer to a year, just
Speaker 1: to be sure. Well, maybe that's a temporary part. They
Speaker 1: just think they'll get back at it. You know, Ross's
Speaker 1: wife loves these places.
Speaker 2: I had forgotten all about this. Still you brought it up,
Speaker 2: dur and Break. What a great story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, I'm not just I'm not just harassing Ross.
Speaker 1: This is a great story.
Speaker 2: I think it was after Markie had Lincoln and she
Speaker 2: was visiting her mom or down there in Louisiana and
Speaker 2: her mom got a gift certificate for for her massage.
Speaker 1: New mom. What a great gift, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So she comes back and her and her back
Speaker 2: is just black and blue, and she said it was
Speaker 2: the worst massage of her of her life, and it
Speaker 2: was like they were just punching her back like they
Speaker 2: were She's on the table, and yeah, she's on the table,
Speaker 2: and you got the you know, the Asian people that
Speaker 2: work there whatever, and they're just like like pounding on
Speaker 2: her back. She said it was super uncomfortable, but she
Speaker 2: didn't want to be rude and be like, you know,
Speaker 2: what the hell you guys doing, so she.
Speaker 1: Like, why do we try to break me? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, her back looked like she was attacked. And then
Speaker 2: the place was busted a few months later for you know,
Speaker 2: the sexual stuff that they were doing there. So you know,
Speaker 2: that remind me of the lobby and parking lot.
Speaker 1: This is my favorite part of the story.
Speaker 2: I forgot.
Speaker 1: Oh there were a bunch of construction trucks.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, yes, yeah, yeah, So it's just
Speaker 2: a matter you know that. The theory is that, you know,
Speaker 2: Marky went in there for an actual massage. They didn't
Speaker 2: do you know, real massage. Yeah, so they just had
Speaker 2: to fake it until they made it, and they were
Speaker 2: just like pounding on her back like, is that good?
Speaker 1: That's what they like? Sweetish or something. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: love the innocence of your mother in law.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was super nice thing to do.
Speaker 1: What a nice gift for a mom, you know, ne mom, right,
Speaker 1: not a lot of sleep obviously, everything physical that goes
Speaker 1: along with having a baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know she's still has PTSD from that massage experience.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but now you're saving money on spas. I
Speaker 2: think they found a new place to go. Oh no,
Speaker 2: because they do like to go when she goes and visits.
Speaker 2: They do the mother daughter thing. And it's been too
Speaker 2: much that for five hours? Ladies, what is what is
Speaker 2: happening in there?
Speaker 1: I've had like I've had like girlfriends who are like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the get my haircut, Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: be back at eight. I'm like, it's ten in the morning.
Speaker 2: The haircuts are ridiculous. How long they last?
Speaker 1: Like you yes, yeah, I'm like, it's ten in the morning.
Speaker 1: We need to be back at eight. You're gonna go
Speaker 1: to a movie twice in the middle, What's how does
Speaker 1: that work? But no, they just go there the whole time.
Speaker 1: Craziness that not at this massage parlor in and out
Speaker 1: thirty minutes they're working on the clock. Man, So your
Speaker 1: wife just got a proper massage. They just bundled it
Speaker 1: into ten minutes to get into the hell out of there.
Speaker 1: I just love that they sell gift certificates too. That's
Speaker 1: that's really the funnies. That's the funniest part of the story.
Speaker 1: The fact that they have like one of the big,
Speaker 1: oversized looking piece of money with their name on it,
Speaker 1: like dah, here you go, one free handy, here you go.
Speaker 1: Like when when your mother in law went in there,
Speaker 1: like was that I had? Did you ask her if
Speaker 1: it was like a really awkward conversation with whoever was
Speaker 1: at the cash rise. Oh, I'd love to hear that
Speaker 1: or that lady's like yeah, yeah, we totally have gift
Speaker 1: certificates like nudge and her husband or whatever, like go
Speaker 1: go make something on the printer.
Speaker 2: Anyway, My point is five months is not enough a
Speaker 2: long enough time to really look into it, especially like
Speaker 2: you know, and like we've had past stories like this
Speaker 2: one obviously is where the joke comes from, and typically
Speaker 2: they take like two years or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Particulously Strip clubs and Sage Parlors Man there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people too. You got to get close to
Speaker 1: you know, it's the.
Speaker 2: South Park thing. Yeah, we need to more years to
Speaker 2: investigate the hookers.
Speaker 1: Very you want. You have crossed the t's and dot
Speaker 1: the eyes right. You don't want some you don't want
Speaker 1: some judge screwing up all your police work.
Speaker 6: Loop.
Speaker 1: So uh AnyWho? All right, that story's so dumb, but
Speaker 1: it reminded me of the story Ross told me about
Speaker 1: his wife, So I thought we had to do it. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I know you're excited. Ross. You're in a very
Speaker 1: good mood today. Is it because we're not here on Monday?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've just had a good week. But you know,
Speaker 2: definitely it too.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So for those who don't know, it had to take
Speaker 1: a day on Monday. So no show on Monday. It's fine.
Speaker 1: We're not fired. We didn't nobody silenced us. Ross got
Speaker 1: a tip that there's a map on the back of
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence and there's treasure to be found.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I shouldn't spilled the beans. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: look into that. Probably gonna have to steal it.
Speaker 2: Ross.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to kidnap the President.
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to visit Mount Vernon, Okay, looking forward
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 1: I've been there. It's very nice. And you've been to
Speaker 1: the catacombs. No, I did not know. I went to
Speaker 1: the grave. They have his grave there, which looks a
Speaker 1: little CATACOMBI but it's really just kind of like a
Speaker 1: carve out on the hill there. So but I'm sure
Speaker 1: the good stuff's behind it. You just got to push
Speaker 1: Washington's casket over and then it's probably where the door is.
Speaker 1: So maybe I'll try that next time anyway. Uh, And
Speaker 1: I'm assuming also it's because you're going to go down
Speaker 1: to the new playground today, right, Oh?
Speaker 2: Where is it?
Speaker 1: The Pulling Dix Park Complex.
Speaker 2: Very busy.
Speaker 1: You're not going to the Pulling Dick's playground.
Speaker 2: I was, you know, I'm very busy. This it opens today,
Speaker 2: calendar chuck full of me being busy.
Speaker 1: No wait, not just a playground at the Pulling Dicks
Speaker 1: Park Complex. It's a play plaza, the Pulling Dick's play Plaza. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think they're calling it like Gibson play Plaza, so
Speaker 1: it's got a separate name. But we're nostalgic here at
Speaker 1: the show, so we'll go with Pulling Dix. And for
Speaker 1: those of you that think I'm saying something dirty, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out that the city of Raleigh decided
Speaker 1: to acquire the Dorothea Dix property known as the Dix Property,
Speaker 1: set it adjacent to Pulling Park, a long running, very
Speaker 1: popular spot in Raleigh if you're unaware, and they're right
Speaker 1: across the street from each other, and then in a
Speaker 1: series of community input sessions, talked about creating a land
Speaker 1: bridge between the two, thus combining them into one large
Speaker 1: scale park complex. And since both Pulling and Dix Dix
Speaker 1: are famous names and donated property within the city there
Speaker 1: who what do you do? This has long been a
Speaker 1: question here on the show. I've never really gotten a
Speaker 1: good answer. Is it Pulling Dix? Is it Dix Pulling?
Speaker 1: Is it DP that doesn't that's not any better? What
Speaker 1: do you do? And they're just trucking forward? That public
Speaker 1: input session was one of the greatest times too. They
Speaker 1: had people because people just show up who have no
Speaker 1: concept of money. They're the ones who vote for every
Speaker 1: bond roff front of them. They're like, what if we
Speaker 1: built a giant treehouse? These are by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: not making up these suggestions. What if we build a
Speaker 1: giant treehouse and put a library in there with the
Speaker 1: zip line to downtown Raleigh was a thing suggested and
Speaker 1: then it just got stupid from there. But they did
Speaker 1: had this playground which is pretty big. It also looks
Speaker 1: like something out of Mad Max. Is this the new
Speaker 1: thing with playgrounds now? They're super industrial looking ross. Did
Speaker 1: you see the picture on the Ril story?
Speaker 2: No, I haven't seen it. It's the first I've heard
Speaker 2: of it. I mean, the parks in wake Forest are like,
Speaker 2: you know, the playgrounds are super nice and child friendly.
Speaker 2: They just put one in near downtown and it's, oh man,
Speaker 2: it looks super cool. But like, yeah, so they're eighteen
Speaker 2: and a half acres now it's twenty twenty five. So
Speaker 2: they're also super COO certained about safety. So you don't
Speaker 2: have like the giant sort of slides of death you
Speaker 2: had when we were kids in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Do you have you have the gravel though that we
Speaker 1: landed on? Right?
Speaker 2: No gravel, it's this soft, weird turf stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like busted a bunch of busted up plastic. All right, hangout,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you this right now to show email
Speaker 1: super important stuff. Yeah, it looks it looks like how
Speaker 1: you would defend a water source in uh in a
Speaker 1: mad max environment, Which is fine. I think kids are
Speaker 1: gonna play on. They're probably gonna have a hell of
Speaker 1: a time. It's a giant park over at the Pulling
Speaker 1: Dicks Park comp excuse me, Pulling Dicks play Plaza. But
Speaker 1: today is the official grand opening, so it'll be just
Speaker 1: crawling with booger eaters.
Speaker 2: You remember how how super hot those slides of death
Speaker 2: in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why you gotta keep moving, bro.
Speaker 2: I had a horrible PTSD experience and one of the
Speaker 2: giant slides of death in the eighties. So I was
Speaker 2: at the playground. I had a camp we went to.
Speaker 2: The camp was called Macanchie's and it was in upstate
Speaker 2: New York. And so I'm on the giant slide of death.
Speaker 2: And these things were just like straight metal, right, and
Speaker 2: their reflective metals, so all the heats there right, and
Speaker 2: no safeguards and you could fall off the side. So somehow,
Speaker 2: and this this was traumatizing as a kid. You can
Speaker 2: imagine this, Okay, So I'm on top of the giant
Speaker 2: slide of death and I fall off the side of
Speaker 2: the top. Oh somehow, I don't remember how I fell,
Speaker 2: but I fell off to the left side of it.
Speaker 2: But there was a giant nail sticking out of the
Speaker 2: slide of Death in the top where you would sit.
Speaker 1: When playgrounds were better.
Speaker 2: Yes, and it caught my pants and it cut my pants,
Speaker 2: so my pants ripped and I was hanging there like
Speaker 2: a pinata, and the other kids are just pointing and laughing,
Speaker 2: and it was one of the most traumatizing experience. I'm
Speaker 2: like hanging on the slide naked.
Speaker 1: Do you understand how many pairs of pants as a
Speaker 1: kid by crotch was ruined? Because barbed wire is a thing?
Speaker 1: Oh I bett? Oh yeah, I can't tell you. My
Speaker 1: mom gets so mad because you know, we're we're just
Speaker 1: willing to get over the fence. So you push one
Speaker 1: arm down and then you try to sling yourself over
Speaker 1: and not catch it, and sometimes you catch yourself. I've
Speaker 1: hung off a fence before.
Speaker 2: I felt like it was embarrassing. I feel like Joe
Speaker 2: dirt being covered with the poopy where I'm just like
Speaker 2: hanging at the top of the slide, like, hey help,
Speaker 2: I'm naked.
Speaker 1: Here, just some predator going, it's my lucky day that
Speaker 1: one's not getting away, so awful to pick them off
Speaker 1: the shop.
Speaker 2: Hey, I've got to the point now where it can
Speaker 2: make fun of myself on the radio for it.
Speaker 1: So that's progress. Yeah, progress, Oh geezh. Anything like that
Speaker 1: at the polyN Dick's Park Playground, pot play Plaza, play Plaza, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have barbed wire and nils,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just send you the story. Look
Speaker 1: at the look at it. That looks like and it's
Speaker 1: got a bunch of whirligigs, which I know we love
Speaker 1: those in North Carolina, so that's fine. But it is
Speaker 1: very industrial. But like if I was a kid, it
Speaker 1: also looks like I'd have a hell of time on
Speaker 1: this thing.
Speaker 2: It's it's super weird looking. It's quite the apparation. Yeah right,
Speaker 2: we'll tweet this out. At Casey on the rail it
Speaker 2: looks like something out of like American Ninja Warrior, but
Speaker 2: like you said, like industrialized.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how to add is like the
Speaker 1: mad Max is the only thing I was thinking of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a Mad Max park. That's weird. That
Speaker 2: does not look safe either. Like that looks.
Speaker 1: Ay with a giant bane thing on his face. That
Speaker 1: looks like it's like that's the predator. It's the opposite
Speaker 1: of what they tend to produce now where they're like
Speaker 1: super safe and like there's no sharp edges. This looks
Speaker 1: like a giant knife. Oh it's super artsy, fartsy, that's
Speaker 1: what that's what's going on here. It's a giant knife.
Speaker 1: And I bet there's not a sharp thing to get
Speaker 1: you catch yourself on that. You can look like, look
Speaker 1: at the railings to the knobs are rounded like it's
Speaker 1: it's it's fake danger. Because you're right. They make the
Speaker 1: and there is a giant slide there. Look at that thing.
Speaker 1: It's a double slide. To look over on the far
Speaker 1: side of the far left side the picture. Doesn't that
Speaker 1: look like it goes around twice and then pops out.
Speaker 1: That's a dope.
Speaker 2: I say, bring back the slides, man, because this despite
Speaker 2: that experience I had on those slides back then were awesome.
Speaker 2: They had one that looked like like a rocket ship,
Speaker 2: like a like a space ship, and oh it's the
Speaker 2: coolest thing. Every kid wanted to be on that slide
Speaker 2: and it went way way up and way down, dude.
Speaker 1: They had one in the park below the high school,
Speaker 1: and just being dumb high school kick because we'd all
Speaker 1: go down because you can leave campus to go get food,
Speaker 1: and if it was Taco Tuesday, we'ld go to Taco John's, which,
Speaker 1: if you guys have never happened to a Taco John's,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. It's the greatest thing ever. It's a
Speaker 1: wyoming thing. But now they're all over and they have
Speaker 1: one in Tennessee. I've just never I'm not driving over there,
Speaker 1: but they, you know, they had Taco twos. And we
Speaker 1: go there and we go down to the park and
Speaker 1: I remember it was pouring rain one day, so of
Speaker 1: course we're like, it's a waterside now, and so we
Speaker 1: go on this thing and the first buddy goes down,
Speaker 1: he's kind of a fat dude, rolls his ankle because
Speaker 1: it's just it's rain in that her rolls his ankle
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh my gosh. And my other buddy,
Speaker 1: Matt Capcato, he goes down, rolls his ankle, and what
Speaker 1: do you think I did? I'm like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: down the slide. Didn't roll my ankle, but landing on
Speaker 1: my knee because you couldn't You couldn't orient yourself. There
Speaker 1: was so much water going down. So they can kill
Speaker 1: you in hot times. They can kill you in very
Speaker 1: wet times too. This one looks a little different. Although
Speaker 1: that guy who got Sue and Disney over the water
Speaker 1: slide ejecting him because he's a big, fatty dude. I
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't go in this slide, cau if you get
Speaker 1: stuck in there, no one can see you. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to all right, here we go. Eighteen and a
Speaker 1: half acre playground opens today. The official time is not
Speaker 1: till four. Why would you open a playground but not
Speaker 1: till four? Normal hours though, will be eight to nine.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm stoking at the Yes, I had no
Speaker 1: idea this was going on. But that's a thing. But
Speaker 1: it'll probably be super overrun with kids for the first
Speaker 1: little bit, so plan accordingly. If you're heading over to
Speaker 1: the Pulling Dick's play Plaza Park complex thing, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. Hang on. But I got a
Speaker 1: text from a friend of mine. He's like, Hey, some
Speaker 1: of us are going to go to We're going to
Speaker 1: go and watch the game at this bar if you
Speaker 1: want to come by. Did not go. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: that was a thing. But Ross just all right, so
Speaker 1: explain this to me, like I'm like io.
Speaker 2: So they were interviewing Adam Silver this is a.
Speaker 1: Few days the League commission.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and they were talking about, you know, do
Speaker 2: you think it's going to be a detriment to the
Speaker 2: finals that you have two small market teams?
Speaker 1: By the way, you have Oklahoma City and you have Indiana.
Speaker 2: Pacers, right, And he said, no, those are the teams
Speaker 2: he thought it would be a positive. And he gave
Speaker 2: an example. Ball He said, if it was another sport,
Speaker 2: the media would be saying it was a good thing.
Speaker 2: For instance, and this is these are his words. He said,
Speaker 2: for instance, if in the Super Bowl you had two
Speaker 2: small market teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green
Speaker 2: Bay Packers, right, people would probably say that was a
Speaker 2: good thing. So what's the difference. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 2: those are two of the most storied teams in NFL history, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of them has the most super bowls, right
Speaker 1: or the most or tied for the most super bowls
Speaker 1: right with the Patriots, do they? Or no? Maybe the
Speaker 1: Patriots have more now what a travesty. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and the Packers are either one or two in total
Speaker 1: fan base outside of their market, right. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you the number of kids I grew up with who
Speaker 1: were Packers fans? Did you get to choose in Wyomi?
Speaker 1: But the Packers only behind the Dallas Cowboys have the
Speaker 1: largest fan base outside of Wiscon.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say they are two of the most
Speaker 2: popular teams in the league. Yes, Like, if you're just
Speaker 2: driving around, if you're rating and bumper stickers even here,
Speaker 2: you know in Raley in Wake Forest, I see a
Speaker 2: ton of Steeler bumper stickers as well as Green Banks.
Speaker 2: So what are you talking about.
Speaker 1: To do with the games that you're actually able to
Speaker 1: get glombed into North Carolina back in the day. That's
Speaker 1: why there's a lot of Redskins fans in North Carolina
Speaker 1: for that before the Panthers came along, people go Steelers,
Speaker 1: may maybe go Atlanta, but that's not working out this year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, I'm not lying.
Speaker 2: I'm not I didn't watch anybody, you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: lying when I say, and I mean this sincerely. I
Speaker 2: feel like Lebron James killed the league. I really feel
Speaker 2: that way, he's the reason it's not the league you
Speaker 2: and I grew up.
Speaker 1: No, not that anymore.
Speaker 2: He's been in the league for what thirty years or something, stupid,
Speaker 2: I know, it's like over two decades or I'm tired
Speaker 2: of him. His politics is flopping his white I'm tired.
Speaker 2: I'm very tired as somebody who watched both players play,
Speaker 2: and I know it's an argument that gets played out
Speaker 2: in social media, but I'm tired of the MJ. Lebron comparison.
Speaker 2: It is so dumb. Longevity doesn't mean you're better than somebody,
Speaker 2: especially when that person was in the league for a
Speaker 2: less amount of time and has more accolades, Like it
Speaker 2: makes no.
Speaker 1: Sense voluntarily left in the middle of this prime. Arguably so,
Speaker 1: but it's just a style of point. They always do
Speaker 1: stats arguments, but you don't have to.
Speaker 2: The vibe is just different, the NBA vibe of the
Speaker 2: of the Larry Bird Magic Johnson era the nineties. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's completely different. Yeah, it went all dark. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: it went down hell after Kobe. It went down hell
Speaker 2: after Kobe, and it's been it really went down hell
Speaker 2: even after you could you could argue after MJ.
Speaker 1: And it's not it's not just Ross and I be
Speaker 1: and haters look at their ratings. Yeah, they've they they've
Speaker 1: got a real problem there, and I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: what it is because they're there are very talented people
Speaker 1: playing that sport. Steph Curry is immensely talented. Tyler Halliburton's
Speaker 1: very talent. He's playing for the championship right now.
Speaker 2: No, Steph Curry is so I mean, he's a phenomenal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's an amazing player, so good that when it comes
Speaker 2: to like basketball video games, they had to change the
Speaker 2: sliders because the stats in real life made no sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that season he had a few years ago
Speaker 1: where he's like, see averaging fifty points in a sea
Speaker 1: in one of the playoff series or something. It's just stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm tired of the traveling and the carrying and
Speaker 2: it's just yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what they did. And
Speaker 1: it's funny because and I know it's Friday, we can
Speaker 1: get into this stuff. It's weird to watch Sports League's
Speaker 1: transition and not for the better. And this might irritate
Speaker 1: some of you remember NASCAR in the nineties before they
Speaker 1: just before they I think I think it was a
Speaker 1: greed thing. I gotta be honest with you. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's the whole transition of abandoning some of the regional tracks,
Speaker 1: which obviously has impact in North Carolina, but like there
Speaker 1: felt like post Dealer and Heart, it just started to change. Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree completely.
Speaker 1: And then then they started jerking with the rules and
Speaker 1: then the shootouts, the playoffs and you know, all the
Speaker 1: different things they're trying to fix it, and it's just
Speaker 1: like it's this thing where it's just the vibe of it.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the basketball is kind of like
Speaker 1: that right now. It's just the vibe of it. It
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I dislike or think that there's not talented people,
Speaker 1: but like any good sport, and I will say this,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw wrestling in here because of what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. The storylines have to be there to grab you.
Speaker 1: You know what, maybe what Indiana needs to do is
Speaker 1: go up in the stands and beat up a fan,
Speaker 1: go back, pretend like they're back in Detroit again. The
Speaker 1: Malice at the Palace or whatever that thing was called.
Speaker 2: I remember watching like, you know, the NBA and the
Speaker 2: Weekends as a kid, and just like Michael Jordan battling
Speaker 2: the Knicks with the flu yeah, and all of the
Speaker 2: player like the John Starks, you know, going against m
Speaker 2: j and all this stuff. I mean, it's but I'm
Speaker 2: also tired of these arguments I see online where you
Speaker 2: have kids are like, oh, the defense sucked in the
Speaker 2: nineties because they see these highlight films of Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2: They're like, nobody's playing defense on him.
Speaker 1: They score one and fifty game.
Speaker 2: Now, Michael Jordan was so good that the good luck
Speaker 2: younger kids will watch videos of him now and assume
Speaker 2: that he's only good because everybody else was sucked playing defense.
Speaker 2: Tell that to the Detroit Pistons of the time, all right,
Speaker 2: tell that to the Nicks. That is the problem with
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan. And some of these kids don't understand it
Speaker 2: because they're like, wow, is he always so wide open? Well,
Speaker 2: first off, he's really good. And if you if you,
Speaker 2: if you get close to Michael, he's gonna run past
Speaker 2: you and dunk the ball. Right, But if you, if
Speaker 2: you hog up the lane so he can't dunk the ball,
Speaker 2: he's gonna shoot all over you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna fade away. Shoot, what are you gonna do yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make it. And Larry Bird will tell
Speaker 1: you where he's gonna shoot and then do it in
Speaker 1: your face.
Speaker 2: He's gonna do it in your coach's face.
Speaker 1: And then run by your bench going told you, told you,
Speaker 1: and God forbid you said anything to either of them
Speaker 1: this argument.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, well, the players in the nineties, besides
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, they were all like plumbers or electricians.
Speaker 1: Was a man, I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1: He was a mailman. Yeah, yeah, that's garbage man. So
Speaker 1: it's not to say that the play hasn't changed. I
Speaker 1: just how do you recapture the vibe because you still
Speaker 1: have talented people. You just I don't know how you
Speaker 1: recapture the vibe. That's a challenge anyway, all right, seven
Speaker 1: forty two that irritate nascarpeot. Oh wait, hold on, Jay
Speaker 1: wants to weigh in on the trump elon thing, which
Speaker 1: is that's a That's another one where you got to
Speaker 1: recapture a vibe. Pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Nobody could talk better than Bird.
Speaker 1: Jay' go right ahead, sir.
Speaker 4: Hey casey, Nobody could talk trash better than Larry Bird.
Speaker 4: He was a master at it, but I caught you treason.
Speaker 4: It's common about the Patriots. I'm from New England. Every
Speaker 4: time I opened my mouth down he either say where
Speaker 4: are you from? There's no getting away from it. But anyway,
Speaker 4: I want to talk about Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Elon Musk is he has his emotions on his sleeve.
Speaker 4: He's very transparent. And Donald Trump is a poker player,
Speaker 4: keeps his cards close to his vest and you never
Speaker 4: know what he's going to do. But the two of
Speaker 4: them forming an incredible tandem, and they need to get together.
Speaker 4: They need to patch their differences up because they terrorize
Speaker 4: the Democrats. And as they say, they need to patch
Speaker 4: their difference up because they're a formidable tandem together. But
Speaker 4: a part they've they've shown their weaknesses. Thanks case, they
Speaker 4: have a good weekend, all.
Speaker 1: Right, you too? Sorry about the being from Boston thing?
Speaker 2: Well, well, I mean some things he can't help you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 1: No, it's not his fault. No, it's the fault sir,
Speaker 1: your parents. I'm sorry, I'm getting it's a joke. Maybe
Speaker 1: they had no choice, the Trump Elon thing. Man, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk. We'll talk to Pete a little about it too.
Speaker 1: I just you know what's crazy is then Elon did
Speaker 1: the Trump thing yesterday. Right, remember Trump when he was
Speaker 1: just burning through his sixteen primary opponents the first time around,
Speaker 1: He's like, you're fat, you're stupid, Your Jeb's your Jeb,
Speaker 1: your father helped kill Kennedy, right, just throwing that. That
Speaker 1: was what Elon was doing to Trump yesterday.
Speaker 2: It was very like weird because it's like that's how
Speaker 2: Trump does stuff.
Speaker 1: Just buwling a china shop. Man, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on there, all right, raced agent here to say those.
Speaker 1: So they're opening a giant, ten million dollar playground today.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like a mad Max fortress.
Speaker 5: Sounds like fun to me. What time we go?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they sell alcohol next to it.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, no, that doesn't sound like trouble.
Speaker 1: No, not at all. Now, a brand new playground. It's
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. Thing looks amazing to suit. A bunch
Speaker 1: of slides, ie you go like water, there's some water
Speaker 1: features you can go get sprayed, and yeah, there's all
Speaker 1: the stuff kids won. If I was a kid, I'd
Speaker 1: be all over this thing. But yeah, and that's I
Speaker 1: don't know WINNI booze locally? Is that? What's that to be?
Speaker 5: Where is that locally?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It's at the Pulling Dicks Park.
Speaker 5: Cool.
Speaker 1: You know you think I'm making that name up, don't you?
Speaker 5: No? I was trying to just go right past it.
Speaker 1: But no, no, that's the no, no, no, the name
Speaker 1: that is the family. Those are the family names of
Speaker 1: the two parks that are now. When they acquired the
Speaker 1: Dix properties spelled d I x uh, there was already
Speaker 1: Pulling Park and okay, are they are together? It's the
Speaker 1: Pulling Dicks Park complex.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 1: Because the family's names, you can't get rid of them.
Speaker 1: No order. It sounds just as dirty. So juvenile, aren't we?
Speaker 1: I am? Yes, welcome to different all right? So? Uh
Speaker 1: is it good Pulling Dicks Park? By bas of weather?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean this evening there could be a stray
Speaker 8: out there, a shower storm most of our day, dry,
Speaker 8: little cloud at times this morning seeing some reports of fog.
Speaker 8: The visibility aren't all that terrible. Mid upper eighties, close
Speaker 8: to ninety I think obviously the triangle usually a warmer
Speaker 8: spot has a better chance at ninety degrees and area
Speaker 8: south maybe like Fayettville with Triad and back into the
Speaker 8: mountains mid upper eighties. But I really think the rain chances,
Speaker 8: at least better chances of rounds of showers and thunderstorms
Speaker 8: will increase over the weekend at times maybe even some
Speaker 8: severe weather. Got a big area of slight risk tomorrow
Speaker 8: Tomorrow night, and then even on Sunday could be some
Speaker 8: stronger storms. And I do think there's hours of dry weather.
Speaker 8: And so my best advice is if you are going
Speaker 8: to be outdoors, have an indoor plan, Like you know,
Speaker 8: you hear thunders, thunder roars, get indoors. If you're on
Speaker 8: the lake in the pool, there's lightning. If you hear thunder,
Speaker 8: have a place to go. Swords may passing. You might
Speaker 8: be able to get back out. So take a look
Speaker 8: at your trusty radar and I'll see what's going on.
Speaker 8: But I do think at one part another by Monday,
Speaker 8: I think everybody's got at least a little bit of rain.
Speaker 1: So if you're at the Pulling Dick's Play Plaza Park
Speaker 1: later during the grand opening at four pms, begainst ter rain.
Speaker 1: Go directly to the shop that sells the booze right
Speaker 1: next to it, right and then go back to you
Speaker 1: and you can get under there, so right, and then
Speaker 1: you go back to right if it stops, you can
Speaker 1: then you don't have a few What are you going
Speaker 1: to do? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, absolutely, man, what else are you going
Speaker 1: to do? Well, we'll talk in an hour. Maybe we'll
Speaker 1: come up with some ideas before then. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you sir, and we will be right back. But
Speaker 1: we'll be went on this weird tangent. And let's just
Speaker 1: say I don't I'm almost positive she probably didn't think
Speaker 1: this out before saying it. I would hope maybe she did.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We got a couple of cuts. Let's
Speaker 1: get into this. The first thing's crazy, the second thing's bonkers.
Speaker 1: Here we go. We'll be from the view, let's do
Speaker 1: this is about the Maryland governor, by the way, who
Speaker 1: is I guess will be likes him for president or so?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. Anyway, Here we go. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't there's nothing. There's no name for what I am.
Speaker 7: Okay, because there are some things that fit what I
Speaker 7: want and some things that don't. And I'm the crazy
Speaker 7: person who said, you know, why don't we have a
Speaker 7: Democratic president and a Republican advice. Yeah, you said, I
Speaker 7: believe that the only way to get stuff done is
Speaker 7: to have both parties represented at.
Speaker 1: The same time.
Speaker 7: And people don't keep telling me I'm crazy, but I
Speaker 7: don't think I am.
Speaker 1: I think you are, And I think because what happens
Speaker 1: every time they send some conservative person in on the
Speaker 1: View or Norm McDonald for that matter, which is still
Speaker 1: one of the greatest View moments ever. If you guys
Speaker 1: are not familiar with the Norm McDonald where he talked
Speaker 1: about the Clintons being murderers, it's and Barbara Walters was
Speaker 1: still there. Oh, it's must must see TV. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's probably that where every time,
Speaker 1: remember the the young he's a black guy, he's a
Speaker 1: young conservative. I don't think he's a conservative. He's uh,
Speaker 1: he's just one of these very intellectual guys. He went
Speaker 1: on there and like Sonny Houston tried to like eat
Speaker 1: him or something. It was crazy. She had a whole
Speaker 1: rant ready to go, but at least she kind of
Speaker 1: constructed hers first whoopee. Then when on a tangent and
Speaker 1: said this.
Speaker 7: You know, you have someone like Wes Moore who is
Speaker 7: a perfect and people are saying, well, he he you know,
Speaker 7: you can't elect a black man.
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I'm just again.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, no, no, what do you see? I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you said we you wish Wes Moore is the
Speaker 1: Maryland governor, but we can't. And you're talking about the presidency,
Speaker 1: but we can't elect a black man.
Speaker 5: Ross.
Speaker 1: Would you run that through Ross Ai please and tell
Speaker 1: me if that's true. He's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, uh huh, all right, and
Speaker 2: what you got? Yeah, no, we did that twice.
Speaker 1: Okay, some would argue three times, yes, yeah, just covertly
Speaker 1: the last time. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on over there. Man, they broke Oh we
Speaker 1: have the norm thing. Let's just rubble in that show,
Speaker 1: we see, I don't.
Speaker 3: I think we should get the homicide out of the
Speaker 3: White House and get like a fresh because we don't
Speaker 3: want any more murderers.
Speaker 9: I think we should just go on to the next questions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, murdered a guy.
Speaker 7: You accusations with that, that's.
Speaker 1: A little It's funny because now they recoil and this
Speaker 1: is the crap they accused Trump of like every day
Speaker 1: and then they have to come back in the next
Speaker 1: segment and go it does.
Speaker 7: Let's just let's just go on to the next Yeah.
Speaker 1: This is not my week.
Speaker 5: What can I tell you?
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not mine either. I'm being very nice. Okay, here,
Speaker 1: good boy.
Speaker 2: No, we don't want to get out, and this is
Speaker 2: not the place to make those accusations.
Speaker 9: And you are supposed to be funny.
Speaker 3: Get there, you go.
Speaker 7: This is a live song, but you have been properly
Speaker 7: chestised by Barba was the next record? Okay, let me
Speaker 7: do this. Okay, I'll tell you what's the matter of record?
Speaker 7: You will not be invited back if you don't shut.
Speaker 3: Up a.
Speaker 1: Football all right, man, slaughter. We're gonna go to some
Speaker 1: strange places today. Our radio buddy to the South, Pete
Speaker 1: Calendar's with us. How you doing this morning, sir? What's up?
Speaker 3: I am good, I'm up. I'm awake, and so that's
Speaker 3: usually half the battle for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, okay, anything you know, just staring ahead
Speaker 1: at Friday, at the big weekend coming up. You know,
Speaker 1: if you don't get drowned in the rain, you know,
Speaker 1: there might be some productive stuff there. So you guys
Speaker 1: are losing your damn minds down there. I'm a little
Speaker 1: jealous though, right right.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't think that in the triangle or the
Speaker 2: triad we've ever had.
Speaker 1: And somebody correct me if we're wrong. And I talked
Speaker 1: to our buddy Mark out in Asheville. He had not
Speaker 1: seen this in his neck of the woods. Now, uh huh,
Speaker 1: and that is uh moonbats running in with a bunch
Speaker 1: of bugs and dumping them out in uh in in
Speaker 1: this case a county commissioners meeting.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm not saying it's a contest between you, Mark
Speaker 3: and me, but if it were a contest, I would
Speaker 3: be winning for crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh now yeah on hold on, And sheriff couldn't even
Speaker 1: spell sheriff.
Speaker 3: So I feel like we yes, but our sheriff just
Speaker 3: had an employee stab a colleague at the arrest processing No.
Speaker 3: But the sheriff then also put out a statement. Uh,
Speaker 3: and he said something to the effect of, uh, like,
Speaker 3: this is a good reminder we should all be on
Speaker 3: the lookout for warning signs. He like turns it on
Speaker 3: like like, hey, everybody, you.
Speaker 1: Need to make sure something.
Speaker 3: Like, well, how did that work out for you? Gary?
Speaker 3: Not my fault, McFadden.
Speaker 1: Well, you guys got beef Man. You're like Trump and
Speaker 1: Elon right now, Kanye is going to get this squared
Speaker 1: away and Steve Bannon's helping to I don't know how
Speaker 1: I'm not come back to the crickets. But what do
Speaker 1: you think of this? Because I've got a number of
Speaker 1: emails people are like, nah, it's all it's a it's
Speaker 1: a work like it's it's a wrestling storyline or something.
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. I don't think it is.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: See, this is the thing. It's like people project onto
Speaker 3: these stories whatever truth they want to be true, you know,
Speaker 3: And that's why, like it's one thing to speculate, hypothesize
Speaker 3: the yourrise whatever, like that's it's fun. But in the
Speaker 3: grand scheme of things, it's not. It's not productive, you know,
Speaker 3: because whatever is the truth, they are going back and
Speaker 3: forth or they're you know, it's all just a put
Speaker 3: on or whatever. Like it doesn't really matter if these
Speaker 3: two guys don't get along anymore, because everybody predicted that
Speaker 3: it was gonna happen. Anyway, It usually happens with people
Speaker 3: who have big personalities and bigger wallets, you know, than
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. That's just you know, historically, like this was
Speaker 3: bound to happen, so I'm not surprised by it. I
Speaker 3: have not followed all of the details in the back
Speaker 3: and forth and all of this, but I do feel
Speaker 3: like I saw somebody refer to it as Elon Musker.
Speaker 3: He's a video gamer. He does these videos and stuff
Speaker 3: to every now and again.
Speaker 1: Number one Diablo hardcore player in the world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, then there are there's accusations that he hires people
Speaker 3: to do that for him, to play under his name
Speaker 3: or something. So I don't know, and maybe look maybe
Speaker 3: so I don't know. I don't care. But he did
Speaker 3: seem to do a speed run, which is a gaming term.
Speaker 1: Russ will fill everybody experience of the.
Speaker 3: Republican experience right, Like he just got there a lot
Speaker 3: faster because he was doing it on a speed run.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, look at me, I'm all involved. Oh
Speaker 3: we can make change. Oh I love what these guys
Speaker 3: are saying.
Speaker 1: I'm all in.
Speaker 3: I will campaign for you a few money. And it's
Speaker 3: like who whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: you're no better, and then it's like burn it all down.
Speaker 3: So he just did it in a very compressed timeline,
Speaker 3: whereas it takes a lot of other conservatives and Republicans,
Speaker 3: not saying that Elon is a conservative, but it takes
Speaker 3: a lot of conservatives way longer to sort of arrive
Speaker 3: at the position that Elon has arrived at, which is, Oh,
Speaker 3: these guys really aren't that serious about dismantling the structural
Speaker 3: deficits and such. Now, look, I haven't gone into all
Speaker 3: the details on the big beautiful bill whatever, and I
Speaker 3: understand like there's a process they have to follow, and
Speaker 3: it's about the reconciliation and how many votes do you
Speaker 3: need and is it mandatory spending versus not? If then
Speaker 3: you would need sixty votes in the Senate. All of
Speaker 3: these rules, right, and for people who don't know how
Speaker 3: all of this stuff works and the rules about how
Speaker 3: to get bills through and everything, it is super frustrating.
Speaker 3: And I think that is what Musk has run up against.
Speaker 3: Just he did it in a very compressed time frame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't disagree there, but there is some
Speaker 1: weird stuff in there. But yes, it's also Look, there's
Speaker 1: the Buddy Waters of the CBO like Congressional Budget Office,
Speaker 1: who decides that maintaining tax cuts that currently exist somehow
Speaker 1: are a deficit spend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, the government accounting on
Speaker 3: all of this stuff is so stupid. Yeah, it's and
Speaker 3: you're trying to project out, you know, billions and hundreds
Speaker 3: of billions over ten years and all of this stuff,
Speaker 3: and really what it comes down to, and nobody wants
Speaker 3: to talk about it it is. It is social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Right,
Speaker 3: these are the drivers of the spending and the debt.
Speaker 3: And unless anybody wants to go and touch the quote
Speaker 3: unquote third rail of politics, then the structural deficits will persist.
Speaker 3: And that's just the reality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And and you know a lot of leadership styles
Speaker 1: are are willing to go there. Remember a few years
Speaker 1: ago where the State of Illinois's entire budget was exactly
Speaker 1: the same as their pension obligations. It was the numbers
Speaker 1: were the same, So literally the previous year's budget was
Speaker 1: going to meet the pension obligations that the State of
Speaker 1: Illinois had, which means they had to go and start
Speaker 1: figuring out where they're going to get other money from, right, right,
Speaker 1: because they had this bohemous system there. Now it costs
Speaker 1: you an extra dollar fifty where it's going to every
Speaker 1: time you get a delivery in the state of Illinois,
Speaker 1: and that's just to fund the subway system in Chicago. Wow,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this is where it is. Where you get
Speaker 1: with this stuff. You didn't see the show.
Speaker 3: Wait, so they're charging people for their trying, their charging
Speaker 3: drivers of cars.
Speaker 1: So delivery they're charging you if you order delivery on
Speaker 1: Uber Eats or one of the other.
Speaker 3: Right, But I'm talking about the mode of transportation. Is
Speaker 3: that I order something, somebody drives in a mar delivers
Speaker 3: the thing, and so they're charging me the consumer money
Speaker 3: because I used a car. Delivery is there, right, But.
Speaker 1: The bicycle or motorcycle deliveries in certain circumstances.
Speaker 3: And that state wide. That's not just in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's crazy. So you could never you could
Speaker 1: live in you never go to Chicago and you're paying
Speaker 1: for the subway.
Speaker 3: Now I would be irate. Well, I don't get deliveries anyway, don't.
Speaker 3: I don't do the door dash stuff. Do you do that?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: No, I don't do that. What I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 1: Trust understand how awesome deliveries got during COVID Pete. All right, No,
Speaker 1: what's the worst part about delivery. What's the worst part
Speaker 1: about a delivery?
Speaker 3: Well, where do I begin. Number one concern is that
Speaker 3: people are going to eat or sit in my food.
Speaker 1: They like they tape it up now anyway, so divorce that.
Speaker 1: Number two, no people having to interact with the person, right,
Speaker 1: because we're all such like. I don't know, but with
Speaker 1: with COVID, a wonderful thing happened where you can literally
Speaker 1: select the box and they will leave it at your
Speaker 1: front door, take a picture of it, and be gone
Speaker 1: by the time you go retrieve it, no human interaction required.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Ross, you're a fan of to leave it
Speaker 1: at my door and get the hell off my property button?
Speaker 1: Oh he does, no, But to be fair, Ross did
Speaker 1: take advantage of the grocery store changes.
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's different. But the door dash, especially if
Speaker 2: you have a family, is so expensive.
Speaker 5: Like it.
Speaker 3: I will say that it is expensive, but no, I
Speaker 3: never I still went to the grocery store during the pandemic.
Speaker 6: You're never getting at home a grown man, but a
Speaker 6: perfectly good week night and watch the Charlotte Becklenberg the
Speaker 6: Mecklenberg County Commissioners meetings.
Speaker 1: So because I saw your tweets and I thought you
Speaker 1: were there. Uh, we only got into it a little.
Speaker 2: Let me just circle back, as the Sake says, on.
Speaker 1: This insanity right here.
Speaker 6: Everybody, Unfortunately, we're going out to take a ten minute
Speaker 6: recess to be able to clean up the bug situation
Speaker 6: that we've got working.
Speaker 1: Which which is crazy to me, because some poor janitor
Speaker 1: works over I don't know at this at this building
Speaker 1: right who doesn't want to be there anyway. Right, he's
Speaker 1: probably off cleaning offices because it's off hours. Now he's
Speaker 1: got to come and he's got to handle all the exerp.
Speaker 1: So that was the box that was being passed around
Speaker 1: up top.
Speaker 2: Right where you are at the top of the stairs, Officer,
Speaker 2: those five people in that section right over here passing
Speaker 2: around some level of box exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then they played crickets in is that's that's
Speaker 1: risky business.
Speaker 3: Wait, so there were there's questions about how they got
Speaker 3: the crickets, the box of crickets into the chambers. This
Speaker 3: is the Charlotte Mecklumber Government Centers. One big chamber you know,
Speaker 3: it holds you know, hundreds of people. They have the
Speaker 3: dias down below, uh stadium seating kind of thing and
Speaker 3: balconies up on the tops, and so city council meets,
Speaker 3: their county commission meets, their school board meets there, and
Speaker 3: so they have a metal detector and a security check
Speaker 3: on the way in, and so the question is, how
Speaker 3: did they get this stuff through? No, obviously the metal
Speaker 3: detector wouldn't pick up a cardboard box with crickets in it.
Speaker 3: But you know you're supposed to be checking bags, So
Speaker 3: how did they get this box of live crickets in?
Speaker 3: That's the first question. And when I was so, I
Speaker 3: was just watching it because they were voting on a
Speaker 3: two and a half billion dollar county budget.
Speaker 1: Watching the county commissioner. Mean, and you're not at work, bro.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they make sport all all prep, dude, a BP.
Speaker 1: Prep, put the sports on and then be on the Twitter.
Speaker 1: You're fine anyway, So you're watching this, You're watching all
Speaker 1: this insanity unfold, right, and.
Speaker 3: There's no media there. Apparently there was no media there
Speaker 3: until I think people started seeing my tweets. And then
Speaker 3: by the time they got to the two and a
Speaker 3: half billion dollar budget vote, like an hour later, then
Speaker 3: a media person showed up, So I don't know if
Speaker 3: that yeah, and then we got actual pictures of the crickets.
Speaker 3: But in the meantime they had to call in environmental services,
Speaker 3: which I believe is basically janitorial custodial services, and they
Speaker 3: went up there and they vacuumed up the crickets.
Speaker 1: Oh, they murdered the crickets. Yeah. I was hoping you
Speaker 1: were there, because this is why I had ross ask you,
Speaker 1: because I got based on your tweets. It's it sounded
Speaker 1: very first person, and I'm like, is Pete at this?
Speaker 1: And if Pete is at this, is he going to
Speaker 1: get a cricket? So you didn't get us a cricket,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm not now.
Speaker 3: No, I did not get any crickets.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they went over to like a bait store
Speaker 1: or a place where they buy stuff for snakes, cause
Speaker 1: you buy crickets for snakes, right, yeah, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's what I assumed too, that they got
Speaker 3: live crickets from some animal at shop, you know, something
Speaker 3: like that or whatever, and then dumped the box and
Speaker 3: this is and so so why would they do this? Well,
Speaker 3: they they released these things after one of their speakers
Speaker 3: was told that they weren't speaking to the topic on
Speaker 3: the agenda. And the topic on the agenda was gun
Speaker 3: violence Awareness Month, right, a proclamation, and it's just a proclamation.
Speaker 3: You've seen these things that you know a million times
Speaker 3: where it's like, oh, we declare this is awareness month.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: And so they have some woman who's a teacher in
Speaker 3: Charlotte meckliberg. She comes down and she's like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 3: gun violence is terrible, especially the cop city thing that
Speaker 3: they're building outside of Charlotte and Pineville.
Speaker 1: It's parting audience because he gave me it reminded me
Speaker 1: of that Atlanta situation exactly. They turned really horrible down there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, go back for bid. People who think police
Speaker 1: are not trained well, have more training opportunities.
Speaker 3: Exactly. This is what I don't understand. Why aren't you
Speaker 3: the same crowd that was saying our cops are not
Speaker 3: trained enough to handle all of these situations that then
Speaker 3: prompt you to burn cities down, So like, why don't
Speaker 3: we get them better training? So build them a training facility,
Speaker 3: But no, we can't do that. And in fact, one
Speaker 3: of the one of the guys that got popped down
Speaker 3: in Atlanta is a trans son or yes, son to
Speaker 3: mail whatever, a child, but an adult of one of
Speaker 3: the big time movers and shakers in Charlotte. The Foundation
Speaker 3: for the Carolina's Marciacano is his name, and he retired
Speaker 3: out and I think he's actually affiliated with Duke University,
Speaker 3: maybe on the board or something. But his son was
Speaker 3: a big time Trantifa type and got arrested down there.
Speaker 3: So now I assume he's back in Charlotte that I
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know if he was part of
Speaker 3: this crowd or not. But this is the same crowd
Speaker 3: of you know, anti fought eco terrorists that that rioted
Speaker 3: and firebomb law enforcement down in Atlanta, same same movement.
Speaker 1: And crickets are diabolical because if you don't get them all,
Speaker 1: that's now it's a problem. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, you'd be finding those for days. I would
Speaker 1: have went with bees. Did you see the truck that
Speaker 1: overturned with fourteen million bees on it?
Speaker 3: Nice? No? I did not. What kind of honey bees?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were calling him from pollinating some fields somewhere.
Speaker 1: You know, you can order bees if you're a farmer
Speaker 1: and you want to pollinate a field, they'll literally bees,
Speaker 1: do you. But yeah, so the truck trailer flipped over,
Speaker 1: and actually it flipped halfway over and it was fine,
Speaker 1: but when the tow truck was trying to pull it
Speaker 1: out of the ditch, it flipped all the way over
Speaker 1: and one of the road guys got stung on his
Speaker 1: ear drum because the bees were so many they were
Speaker 1: burrowing into his ears. But then hear me out, there's
Speaker 1: a there is a good side to this, the sunnyside.
Speaker 2: It's how if you're a drug if you want to
Speaker 2: start a drug operation truck of.
Speaker 1: Bees man, Yeah, you could put all the cocaine in there.
Speaker 1: Nobody's searching that.
Speaker 3: So I feel like you and Mark out in Ashville,
Speaker 3: you guys like now, I've talked to you today and
Speaker 3: Mark on Wednesday, and both times you guys have uh
Speaker 3: have tied these different stories to drug smuggling. No, so
Speaker 3: I'm kind of clear curio what's going on here?
Speaker 1: But I know, but you and Mark.
Speaker 3: Both found ways to tie drug smuggling into our topics,
Speaker 3: and I'm just wondering if there's something going on here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're making we got a side hustle, what a.
Speaker 3: Right door dashing it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, man, dollar fifty extra in Illinois. But you're
Speaker 1: going to get the drugs. Couple of bees. Now, you
Speaker 1: don't want the drugs to open and the bees to
Speaker 1: get into the cocaine, right, that would be a rookie
Speaker 1: move on cocaine. And oh your your drums are the
Speaker 1: least your worries at that point. No, I was just saying,
Speaker 1: and you know what, we had listeners among them, law
Speaker 1: enforcement and whatnot, said that they've they've done like traffic
Speaker 1: drug interdiction, and there's no way in hell they're searching
Speaker 1: a truck full of bees. It's believe cover, perfect cover man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was what they they proved in
Speaker 3: the documentary. What was it? Black sheet for Tommy Boy
Speaker 3: always get them confused.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look at that. You're the second person I've
Speaker 1: told my bee drug a business idea to who immediately
Speaker 1: went to a Tommy Boy reference. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Look at that full circle. All right, Well you have
Speaker 1: a good weekend, sir, you cook out for bees and crickets. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll do we'll do corrupt sheriffs and police. All right,
Speaker 1: there you go. Pete Calendar here on the CaCO Day
Speaker 1: Radio program. Hang on, there was one other thing I
Speaker 1: really wanted to talk to Pete about and I didn't
Speaker 1: get to it, but I'm going to get to it
Speaker 1: with you, because it's it's not just the information, but
Speaker 1: it's also the reaction to people literally sometimes just posting
Speaker 1: the information, and this is like, this is a this
Speaker 1: should be easy, but we're just so like partisanly jacked
Speaker 1: at each other that nobody can have a honest conversation.
Speaker 1: So a new report from the state auditor Bullock, I'm
Speaker 1: actually surprised you didn't pitch us an interview on this
Speaker 1: because it's pretty juicy, reveals that a storm relief center
Speaker 1: in Swana Noah, Okay, we all know Swana Noah was
Speaker 1: hit very hard. Swanaoah also had some people that were
Speaker 1: grifters in my opinion, that were running around making up
Speaker 1: stories about a dead baby there or I guess nearby there,
Speaker 1: which turned out not to be true, and I there
Speaker 1: was just everything was just so crazy after the storm.
Speaker 1: But the one thing that we all recognized is that
Speaker 1: the tragedy that was unfolding in western North Carolina was overwhelming,
Speaker 1: and then it was frustrated by this, you know, seeing
Speaker 1: National Guard troops ready but not deployed for over a week,
Speaker 1: FEMA all the FEMA stuff, right, it just drove you crazy.
Speaker 1: So it was important that in the midst of all
Speaker 1: of that, and you know that there's going to be
Speaker 1: it's going to be complicated, nothing's going to be perfect
Speaker 1: when it's an overwhelming emergency. I understand that. But we
Speaker 1: had a lot of failures and the things that were
Speaker 1: set up that were supposed to happen, okay, and you
Speaker 1: could also but there was also positive stories, some amazing stories. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had these guys that were coming up with their
Speaker 1: own helicopters rescuing people. Now granted they got grounded and
Speaker 1: had to split a family up. Well they didn't have
Speaker 1: to because they ignored it and didn't. But like you
Speaker 1: had those stories. You had the helicopter land at the
Speaker 1: food center there and like put all the supplies everywhere.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a good look. But you had the Amish
Speaker 1: show up. They're still building houses up there, and there's
Speaker 1: a ton of amazing stories. But you're allowed to go
Speaker 1: what could we do better? And the problem is apparently
Speaker 1: you're not allowed because according to the report, the storm
Speaker 1: relief center in Swanna, Noah, which was so the storm
Speaker 1: Relief center provided had meals, but it had what people
Speaker 1: really really want in that situation. It had those shower things.
Speaker 1: It was that big complex they set up there said
Speaker 1: all these you know, these trailers are just showers that
Speaker 1: they towed to wherever they need to have showers. And
Speaker 1: they're pretty nice, actually nice facilities, which is good because
Speaker 1: if you're home's blooted and you have it showered in
Speaker 1: a few days and you're having to deal with all
Speaker 1: of that, just a hot shower and the ability to
Speaker 1: wash your clothes. They have laundry facilities out. This is
Speaker 1: a welcome, absolute welcome relief. According to the report. Though
Speaker 1: it cost twenty seven four million just this one location
Speaker 1: in Swana, Nooah. It was open for one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty nine days, which means the average daily cost is
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five thousand dollars per day. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a lot. And I mentioned that, and I
Speaker 1: saw some other people post it too. Sometimes again they
Speaker 1: just posted the number and then it turns into this
Speaker 1: partisan crap. Are you saying that homeless people shouldn't have
Speaker 1: access to showers and laundry. No, that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying more should I just don't. I just don't
Speaker 1: understand how in a community the size of Swana Noah,
Speaker 1: even with people coming in from other areas, how it
Speaker 1: costs one hundred and forty five thousand dollars per day
Speaker 1: to run a laundry and shower facility. And I understand
Speaker 1: that there's food costs in there too, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think they served extensive donations. I think that
Speaker 1: has done somewhere else. That's a lot, and and it's
Speaker 1: I think it's perfectly fair to go. It was that
Speaker 1: operating as efficiently as it could have. And again, I
Speaker 1: know nothing's going to be perfect in the face of
Speaker 1: an overwhelming disaster where you're just trying to do what
Speaker 1: you can. But that's a crazy number. And I want
Speaker 1: I I I And people attack you. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're attacking people who just needed First
Speaker 1: of all, you're most of the people who are making
Speaker 1: that argument are the same ones who who were like, no, no,
Speaker 1: Biden administration, everything was great. So I don't even want
Speaker 1: to hear from you. I don't even want to hear
Speaker 1: from you. Yeah, here we go. Yeah, Carolina Journal had
Speaker 1: a whole peace on this thing. Man, that's a problem.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's a problem or the amount
Speaker 1: that that there's no way that tracks. So if you
Speaker 1: go through this piece in the Carolina Journal, one hundred
Speaker 1: forty five two hundred and seventeen dollars per day, twenty
Speaker 1: seven point four million, one hundred and eighty nine days
Speaker 1: of operation, according to the invoices, When you start drilling
Speaker 1: into this as they did over Carolina Journal, it's uh,
Speaker 1: here we go. Invoices including the report revealed that general
Speaker 1: workers at the facility were paid eighty seven dollars and
Speaker 1: thirty cents an hour, while managers earned one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty five fifty an hour and a two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars per deum per day. That's I don't make
Speaker 1: that ross. Do you make that? Do you make that much?
Speaker 1: You make one hundred and forty five an hour plus
Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty dollars per day for your
Speaker 1: food and lodging. Oh no, oh, we gotta do something
Speaker 1: about that. That's crazy. That's what it's okay to ask
Speaker 1: about this.
Speaker 2: And this is this goes to the bigger point with
Speaker 2: like all the cuts right where it's just like you
Speaker 2: don't I if you want to have a beef over
Speaker 2: how they went about him.
Speaker 1: From a Doge perspective, you thought it was too much.
Speaker 1: All it went as a perfectly reasonable discussion, and they've
Speaker 1: clearly they over or they overcut some places because they've
Speaker 1: had to backfill. Right. I'm not saying that that rollout
Speaker 1: has been perfect, but like, can't we agree, especially from
Speaker 1: a North Carolina perspective because we're a hurricane season now.
Speaker 1: Could be? Uh, could be you, could be me, could
Speaker 1: be anybody who finds themselves in the same situation that
Speaker 1: they did out in western North Carolina. You never know.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you want the ability of more of your neighbor
Speaker 1: of whatever, whatever rescue plan or you know, in this case,
Speaker 1: just a center to provide you the really basics in life.
Speaker 1: Don't you want it to be run as efficiently as
Speaker 1: possible so that the most the money can go to
Speaker 1: the most people possible. That's it, That's all we're asking,
Speaker 1: and I don't.
Speaker 2: Know.
Speaker 1: According to the audit, the center operated for one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty nine days, provided approximately fourteen thousand showers and
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand loads of laundry. That, by the way, if
Speaker 1: you go just based on per event, so If you
Speaker 1: add up the number of showers that people took and
Speaker 1: the number of loads of laundry done, that is about
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars per event, eight hundred dollars per shower,
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars per load of laundry. I haven't been
Speaker 1: to a laundry matt in a while. I think it's
Speaker 1: cheaper than eight hundred bucks. Now, I understand that there's
Speaker 1: the inherent cost of moving these things out there. I
Speaker 1: don't know what their power solutions. I'm assuming they were
Speaker 1: probably chewing on Jenny's most of the time, right because
Speaker 1: you had the power stuff. But still I don't know
Speaker 1: how you get here. State Auditor staff visited the SADA
Speaker 1: April fourteenth and April twenty fourth. We're told by employees
Speaker 1: the daily usage range from forty to sixty individuals, so
Speaker 1: forty to sixty individuals per day. Peak usage like late
Speaker 1: October one hundred, so one hundred people a day. We'll
Speaker 1: just say it's one hundred. It costs one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty five thousand dollars per day to run this to
Speaker 1: serve one hundred people to take a shower and do
Speaker 1: a load of laundry. I mean the hits keep coming. Man. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let me be fair here, hold on,
Speaker 1: let me break this down. So if you're removed, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll remove the staff costs on that front part there,
Speaker 1: so if you no, wait, hold on, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: see how he broke this down here. Okay, so actually
Speaker 1: all right, let me be fair. Let me be fair.
Speaker 1: It's two hundred and twenty dollars per load of laundry,
Speaker 1: not eight hundred if you remove the other stuff that
Speaker 1: was there. So that's that's perfectly ross. That's a lot cheaper, right, eight.
Speaker 1: It was going to cost you eight hundred to do
Speaker 1: a load of laundry. Now it's only gonna cost you
Speaker 1: two twenty. That's a deal, man, in this economy.
Speaker 2: Crazy, They could not identify costs per shower because sometimes
Speaker 2: people just showed up to go to the bathrooll that's fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to go somewhere. Yeah, I saw pictures
Speaker 1: of the facilities.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's great for what it is, and
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that they were able to have that
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 1: I just don't know if that's the most efficient. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they maximize the efficiency of that particular
Speaker 1: red center. All right, raced agic from the weather, chilling
Speaker 1: standing by one of our one of our Hurricane Helene
Speaker 1: rescue centers that had showers and laundry for people. We
Speaker 1: just found out it cost one hundred and forty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day.
Speaker 5: Wow, there's a lot of showers.
Speaker 1: Like sixty people, No, like sixty people on average would
Speaker 1: show up.
Speaker 5: It's interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's more than interesting.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: Say, And people are like, why do you not want
Speaker 1: people's homes were destroyed to have shower. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I want more of them to have them. I don't
Speaker 1: understand how a cost of two hundred and twenty dollars
Speaker 1: per lot to la hundry makes sense? Doesn't fire for
Speaker 1: that man?
Speaker 5: Right right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So yeah, well so it goes right.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Luckily we're not talking about hurricane stuff this week.
Speaker 1: But no, we're not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, jump there.
Speaker 8: We want briefly into the Atlantic, no development in the
Speaker 8: next seven days. The Eastern Pacific has couple of disturbances
Speaker 8: that may become tropical storms or hurricanes in the next
Speaker 8: seven to ten days. So right now, the East Packs
Speaker 8: where all the action's at luckily quiet in the Atlantic.
Speaker 8: Speaking of quiet right now, a little bit of a
Speaker 8: split clouds from around the triangle in points east and
Speaker 8: then more clear sky to the west, and that clearing's
Speaker 8: working east, so everybody should get into more sunshine than
Speaker 8: clouds today close to ninety mid up eighties triad near
Speaker 8: ninety or about ninety in the triangle, and later tonight
Speaker 8: a shower thundershower, and then we kind of reset and
Speaker 8: we get back into more rounds of showers and thunderstorms
Speaker 8: through Saturday, Saturday night, and Sunday, and at times there
Speaker 8: may be some severe weather. So the alert is for
Speaker 8: damageing winds and hail, maybe an isolated tornado. I think
Speaker 8: one batch later tomorrow to Tomorrow night. That could be
Speaker 8: the strongest round case. So gonna get a little busy
Speaker 8: if you're going to be outdoors this weekend. Thunder roars,
Speaker 8: get indoors, have a plan if you do get tornado warned,
Speaker 8: have a plan where you're going to be. Doesn't look
Speaker 8: like an outbreak or significant amount of tornadoes, but gusty
Speaker 8: winds also possible with a hail throw into some heavy range,
Speaker 8: so there might be some ponding of the water on
Speaker 8: the roadway. So travel safety for the weekend.
Speaker 1: All right, you have a good weekend, sir. We are
Speaker 1: not here Monday, okay, so I'll be here. Oh well,
Speaker 1: finally take a great show up for Yeah, how about that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk Tuesday. Good good, and we'll come back with
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger next.
Speaker 9: Well, morning case a and happy Friday. A. Job creation
Speaker 9: was stronger than expected last month. The Labor Department reports
Speaker 9: one hundred and thirty nine thousand workers were added to
Speaker 9: payrolls in May. The nation's unemployment rate held steady at
Speaker 9: four point two percent. So the job market is softening some.
Speaker 9: It has not fallen off a cliff. That's a relief
Speaker 9: to investors. Stock market futures improved after the report came out,
Speaker 9: and right now the Dow futures are up two hundred
Speaker 9: and eighty nine points. Tesla shares are higher in pre
Speaker 9: market trading. They're up about five percent now. The stock
Speaker 9: plunged more than fourteen percent yesterday after Elon Musk's disagreements
Speaker 9: with President Trump erupted into an all out war of
Speaker 9: word on social media. Musk has since indicated he will
Speaker 9: try to cool the tensions between himself and the president.
Speaker 9: A source says there is no plan yet for a
Speaker 9: white House musk call. The automakers claim they're holding the
Speaker 9: line on vehicle prices despite the trade war, but car
Speaker 9: buyers are paying more for new rides. Car companies are
Speaker 9: using stealth price hikes, quietly cutting rebates limiting cheap financing deals.
Speaker 9: This can add hundreds of dollars to a buyer's monthly payments.
Speaker 9: Edmunds dot com says several companies have boosted their delivery charges,
Speaker 9: in some cases by as much as four hundred dollars,
Speaker 9: and some dealers are charging more for cars that were
Speaker 9: on their lots before the tariffs hit because they know
Speaker 9: they'll have to pay more to replace them. Some good
Speaker 9: news about food prices, The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Speaker 9: Organization reports overall global food prices declined last month, though
Speaker 9: meat and dairy prices did tick higher in May and Casey,
Speaker 9: the newest addition to McDonald's dessert lineup is a Hershey's
Speaker 9: S'mores Flurry. Milk chocolate bits, graham crackers, and marshmallows are
Speaker 9: blended into soft served ice cream. This new mcflurry will
Speaker 9: be available at all US restaurants on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Casey, no, it won't none of why is that because
Speaker 1: the machines don't work. It's a plot. So they tell
Speaker 1: you they're gonna have this thing that is whatever it is,
Speaker 1: and then it's not there because all the machines broke
Speaker 1: and nothing we can do, though they probably have to
Speaker 1: go around if you really want one. But all right,
Speaker 1: thank you, sir. Okay, Jeff, we're not here on Monday, so.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, yeah I will, I'll make note of that
Speaker 9: or if I don't, Okay, all right, all right, have
Speaker 9: a good extended weekend. I'll catch you on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Jeff Fello there from Bloomberg News,
Speaker 1: by the way, and Ross, you can't you can't turn
Speaker 1: on your out of office one for one day extra
Speaker 1: and two while the show's still on.
Speaker 2: Now, I turned it on a round eight.
Speaker 1: What insanti? Because we're still showing, right, the show's still
Speaker 1: We got a couple more minutes. The show's still going.
Speaker 1: I was going to tell people the greatest meltdown. If
Speaker 1: they need something to follow this weekend, just go to

Speaker 1: going to be like colonizer, right.
Speaker 2: And that story like he's going to try to colonize Wakanda. Yeah, exactly,
