Speaker 1: Before we get into you know what I already had
Speaker 1: on the plate. I feel like we need to start
Speaker 1: somewhere historical thought. Let me get this all right. I
Speaker 1: feel like we should start somewhere historical because something happened yesterday,
Speaker 1: something something pretty important, and I thank you. I feel
Speaker 1: like I would be remiss in not recognizing this. So
Speaker 1: yesterday history was made. Diversity is our strength. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've heard that before. Ross. Have you heard that diversity
Speaker 1: is our strength? Have you have you had that run by?
Speaker 2: I picked that up a few times.
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, so Ross has heard the messaging. So yesterday
Speaker 1: history was made. A glash ceiling was shattered, and in
Speaker 1: the very important stuff, very important stuff happening. For the
Speaker 1: first time in this nation's history, a woman certified her
Speaker 1: own presidential election loss.
Speaker 3: The votes for president of the United States are as follows.
Speaker 4: Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred
Speaker 3: and twelve votes.
Speaker 4: Kamala de Harris, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let'll do it.
Speaker 2: Letter, do it, utter do it.
Speaker 4: Kamala D.
Speaker 3: Harris of the state of California has received two hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty six votes.
Speaker 1: Well, all those you do not like the other, Ross,
Speaker 1: did you think when you and I were coming up,
Speaker 1: you know, into adulthood and into this business, that we
Speaker 1: would be so blessed to live in an era when
Speaker 1: a ceiling such as this was shattered? Did you, Because I,
Speaker 1: for one, this has to be like those of you
Speaker 1: who were alive when we did the moon thing, or didn't,
Speaker 1: I guess, depending on your level of weirdness. But this
Speaker 1: is like that, right, just like ah, look at that
Speaker 1: we're on the moon. Look that there's a woman certifying
Speaker 1: her own ass whooping. So that was the thing yesterday?
Speaker 1: Was that childish? I don't care. I don't care people
Speaker 1: do childish things like explain to me why everyone spent
Speaker 1: the entire time he was on screen yesterday. I didn't
Speaker 1: watch the event, but I'm sure some of you didn't.
Speaker 1: Maybe some of you can explain it to me. Because
Speaker 1: Ross and I had been talking about it before the show,
Speaker 1: so I knew the wwe was headed over to Netflix.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I don't really watch it on
Speaker 1: the regular. That being said, I caught a little clip
Speaker 1: this morning just for the show, because you know, when
Speaker 1: they're doing their initial Monday night Raw, when that's going on,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go big. It's the first one. Hey, everyone,
Speaker 1: welcome to Netflix, all that stuff. And they brought out
Speaker 1: a pretty legendary name who came out, talked about his beer,
Speaker 1: and then kind of scene said it said, hey, we
Speaker 1: got a great new partner. It's Netflix. Brother, Well now
Speaker 1: you know who it is. And so they brought Hull
Speaker 1: Cogan out yesterday and he did the walk on to
Speaker 1: his music he you know, and from the moment the
Speaker 1: moment he starts walking on to where he he got
Speaker 1: there and was given the you know, the little speech
Speaker 1: that he obviously was there to give about how much
Speaker 1: they love their new partner Netflix. They booed him the
Speaker 1: entire time. Is he out in the wrestling community a
Speaker 1: hunter pro? What is going on with that?
Speaker 2: Now? There's been a big division for a while now
Speaker 2: between the younger audience and the older audience. Like I
Speaker 2: don't watch any of the newer stuff. Right when I
Speaker 2: watched like wrestling, it's clips from the eighties and nineties
Speaker 2: and what they call like the Golden area.
Speaker 1: The gold people have seen your Twitter, which yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, So I don't watch like any of the
Speaker 2: newer stuff, Like I can't tell you anything about it.
Speaker 2: I really can't. Like people try to have these conversations
Speaker 2: with me and I'm like, I can't. I don't know
Speaker 2: what you're talking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm bringing it up here.
Speaker 2: The younger generation doesn't like Hogan because they find him
Speaker 2: sort of like laughable because he's not a very good wrestler,
Speaker 2: but he's got like the hulking up and the leg
Speaker 2: drop and the brother and it's just they see it
Speaker 2: as like, yeah, they just don't there's a and there's
Speaker 2: also the racial component.
Speaker 1: Oh no, uh now the audience. I understand it was
Speaker 1: filmed in what ingle would California, so Los Angeles, so
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it's La But then I thought maybe
Speaker 1: is it like carryover from the Heels storyline that's so
Speaker 1: long ago, So you think it's you. You think they
Speaker 1: don't feel that he's his athleticism.
Speaker 2: Is yeah, because because he's not a very good wrestler.
Speaker 2: He's not a good wrestler. Flair who up to because
Speaker 2: Rick Flair is a good wrestler, but Rick.
Speaker 1: But he's a wrestler in the purest sense now because
Speaker 1: he's older as his Hogan.
Speaker 2: But they don't respect him because he wasn't a good wrestler.
Speaker 2: He was a good performer. He was a good wrestler.
Speaker 2: The younger generation they like, they.
Speaker 1: Well, then go watch regular wrestling, right, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to put words in near Matt. I like,
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying.
Speaker 2: It's just like, no, because there is athleticism to what
Speaker 2: they're doing in the ring. The moves are important, what
Speaker 2: they're doing, and that's part of it. And they look
Speaker 2: at Hogan and they laugh at him. Like all you
Speaker 2: need to do is go on social media and watch
Speaker 2: somebody post about Hogan and then go into the comments
Speaker 2: and read, and you'll see that there's this huge divide
Speaker 2: where they're like that dude can't wrestle as a joke,
Speaker 2: So it's hip.
Speaker 1: To hate Hogan, I mean among the younger generations. See,
Speaker 1: I didn't know this. I didn't know, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's not all the younger generation. For I'm also sure
Speaker 1: they're yelling at me. The Trump thing probably didn't help either. Well,
Speaker 1: that's where I'm going with.
Speaker 2: They see him as an old dinosaur who can't wrestle,
Speaker 2: who's just a caricature of what he used to be,
Speaker 2: the same line regurgitated over and over again, and once again,
Speaker 2: this isn't me because when I was a kid, he
Speaker 2: was like, you know your hero, he was he is
Speaker 2: the eighties?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: Is there a bigger Is there a bigger wrestler in
Speaker 1: modern wrestling from a just notoriety name achieved?
Speaker 2: If you're gonna if you're gonna go old school or
Speaker 2: the one that crosses all these barriers is the Undertaker?
Speaker 2: Like if you have the Undertaker, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just wonder if he if you
Speaker 1: would fifty years from now look back on the totality
Speaker 1: of it and say that the Undertaker was bigger than Hogan.
Speaker 2: For the sport, Undertaker, Rick Flair and Steve Austin, you
Speaker 2: put them up there like they're your route, You're Mount
Speaker 2: Rushmore of wrestlers. The younger generation is more likely to
Speaker 2: put those people up than Hogan. They might put Hogan
Speaker 2: up on that Mount Rushmore, but they're not gonna respect
Speaker 2: him like they do the other guys.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's strange to me because who are
Speaker 1: the who are the greatest uh? Who are the top
Speaker 1: ten greatest hitters? And I there's a couple of names
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw on there that by all reasonable standards
Speaker 1: of nowadays shouldn't even be mentioned, but people still throw
Speaker 1: them in there. Yeah, it's as somebody says, ty Cobb's name,
Speaker 1: like watch a documentary now. To be fair, I think
Speaker 1: they also over evil him a little bit, but there's
Speaker 1: a lot to go around. So I don't know, we're
Speaker 1: not allowed to. I don't have an affinity for Hogan
Speaker 1: other than like Ross was talking about, like we were kids,
Speaker 1: it was like Mike Tyson Hulk Hogan and like he
Speaker 1: mad yeah and he right, it's Schwartzenegger right, and the
Speaker 1: loan running around that was good. That good that uh
Speaker 1: that that fed what we needed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but to the younger generation, you've got this old
Speaker 2: guy that just won't go away. Yes, yes, oh man.
Speaker 1: All right, So that was a little weird to me.
Speaker 1: I like, as Ross pointed out in the same way,
Speaker 1: like we don't I don't know any of the current storylines.
Speaker 1: I don't don't really watch it right now. I just
Speaker 1: I just caught the clip. It was like right like
Speaker 1: five minutes for the show. I'm like, why are they
Speaker 1: booing them? And I thought is it part of whatever
Speaker 1: the bit was? And then I realized it wasn't just
Speaker 1: booing away on this dude. All right, well, and but
Speaker 1: he did his read man, he did his things, so
Speaker 1: all right, six sixteen in case o Day radio program
Speaker 1: coming up. Sometimes you gotta read more than the headlines.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, even with very troubling story, there is a
Speaker 1: story out of Durham of a mother charge was shooting
Speaker 1: a four year old. And when you hear that headline,
Speaker 1: what do you think happened? If you say a mother
Speaker 1: was charged was shooting her four year old, most people's
Speaker 1: heads are going to go to an accidental discharge, somebody
Speaker 1: was being irresponsible, somebody want to show they could spin
Speaker 1: it around their finger, or do you see the ross
Speaker 1: you see the video that rapper shot himself during his
Speaker 1: interview the other day in the leg and then was like,
Speaker 1: is somebody shooting in here?
Speaker 2: He pulled a cheddar bob?
Speaker 1: He pulled it, Yes, yes he did. He pulled a
Speaker 1: cheddar bob. Very good nine mile reference, eight mile reference.
Speaker 1: That was the cheddar bob too, was a key component
Speaker 1: in his rap battle that the guy could not come
Speaker 1: back from. Also point that out, Good job rabbit. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what you would think you would think it'd be.
Speaker 1: But that's not how the indictment reads. It reads far
Speaker 1: more evil, at least I think it does. I'll run
Speaker 1: it by you next here on the CaCO Day radio program.
Speaker 1: When did I, as somebody pointed out, when did I
Speaker 1: become the guardian angel of adolescent children in Durham to
Speaker 1: not get shot? Why has this become a hallmark on
Speaker 1: my radio show? By the way, I just want to
Speaker 1: go on the record here. I don't want to put
Speaker 1: words in Ross's mouth, so if he wants to join
Speaker 1: on this statement, he can. I am opposed to shooting kindergarteners,
Speaker 1: not just in Durham, anywhere. I If you go to
Speaker 1: my platform, which I guess is verbal, you will see
Speaker 1: that I am against indiscriminately shot, well, shooting at all,
Speaker 1: but in the cases we see here, rather criminally and
Speaker 1: indiscriminately damn near toddlers. I'm against that.
Speaker 2: Ross.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be against that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd never pold you on this, but yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: going to vote against all Right, So Ross is against
Speaker 1: that too, and I suspect many of you are against that.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know the the baby hitler thing.
Speaker 1: To throw that out, there's no time travel here, right,
Speaker 1: So it's okay to be against that, but damn it,
Speaker 1: whether it's that kid getting the snow cone and a
Speaker 1: tragedy struck with that failed wrapper or this case. All right,
Speaker 1: twenty four year old Vintasia Vinasia, I don't pronounce soul soul,
Speaker 1: Oh God, please don't be related to Thomas Soul spelled
Speaker 1: the same. That would be depressing anyway, is charged with
Speaker 1: shooting her four year old daughter. Now, I saw this headline,
Speaker 1: and I just I made the assumption that somebody was
Speaker 1: either le Now it says she shot her, So I
Speaker 1: made the assumption it was one of these things where somebody's
Speaker 1: jacking around with a gun. Maybe they're at a party,
Speaker 1: maybe they're a rapper getting interviewed the other day, shoots himself.
Speaker 1: Where does shot come from? Is his hole that you
Speaker 1: can see the hole in his pocket? But then I
Speaker 1: read the story because I just wanted to. I just
Speaker 1: have to confirm. Oh, okay, it was an accidental discharge. No, no,
Speaker 1: there is a line in here. And I don't speak
Speaker 1: legal ease, I'm not a lawyer. Ross just checked. Okay,
Speaker 1: what does this mean? Court records indicate the injury and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna read this verbatim. Court records indicate the
Speaker 1: injury was quote inflicted by other than accidental memes A means,
Speaker 1: not memes inflicted by other than accidental means. And there's
Speaker 1: another sentence here that I don't know somehow makes this
Speaker 1: more horrific in my mind. The arrest warrant states that
Speaker 1: the child was shot with a two two three long rifle. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a really there's a lot to unpack in that
Speaker 1: sentence there first two two three, am, I am, I
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know if it's an old
Speaker 1: school two two three. I have this nagging feeling we're
Speaker 1: talking about an ar here because it's a two two
Speaker 1: three I don't know, but a rifle a rifle and
Speaker 1: non accidental. Were you shooting at your four year old
Speaker 1: with an ar fifteen? Please God, somebody tell me that
Speaker 1: that's not what's happening here, because I don't. I can't
Speaker 1: wrap my head around that. A woman, a Durham mother,
Speaker 1: she got a four year old daughter who was facing
Speaker 1: felony charges after they say that she shot her daughter,
Speaker 1: her four year old daughter. And it's the way that
Speaker 1: it's worded where I'm having some trouble with this because
Speaker 1: I assumed it was some sort of accidental discharge, because
Speaker 1: who shoots their four year old? Now if it's part
Speaker 1: of a bigger, like, you know, family annihilator style story,
Speaker 1: which by the way, I didn't make that phrase up.
Speaker 1: I think that's I don't know if that's what they
Speaker 1: still call it, but that's what they used to call it.
Speaker 1: But no, no, And then I read this line. It says,
Speaker 1: records indicate the injury was quote in fl by other
Speaker 1: than accidental means, and the child was shot with a
Speaker 1: two twenty three rifle. So then I'm like, are we
Speaker 1: talking ab aun ar platform? Probably? I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I used to have an old, you know, woodstock two
Speaker 1: twenty three rifle when I was younger, but nowadays somebody's
Speaker 1: got a two two three. It's for the most part,
Speaker 1: I see it on the ar side of things. So
Speaker 1: that begs the question what what? And I don't have
Speaker 1: an answer for it. I we put stuff in there
Speaker 1: that we can make sense of. Please, yes, Janet, what's up?
Speaker 7: A couple scenarios, think a mom is shooting at the dog,
Speaker 7: dad or the neighbor something, and the four year old
Speaker 7: runs through the line of fire. Okay, scenario scenario B.
Speaker 1: And I Mom has charge but unintentional target maybe.
Speaker 7: Right, right, so she's still not accident.
Speaker 1: Hold on, but he can't fire as you sitting around
Speaker 1: on the regular where you feel the need to shoot
Speaker 1: it straight dogs, Janet, is this a constant problem in
Speaker 1: your life?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I don't have an L I have
Speaker 7: a nine, so I don't know how people treat those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now we're just mincing words. Okay, all right, so
Speaker 1: that scenario one.
Speaker 7: Scenario number two, Okay, scenario number two, Mom has really hired.
Speaker 7: The ar is laying on the couch. She's trying to
Speaker 7: sit down, but she doesn't know how to hold the gun,
Speaker 7: so she grabs her all wrong, accidentally pulls the trigger
Speaker 7: and it kicks her arm out, so bullets spray across
Speaker 7: the room.
Speaker 1: Well, well, I don't think they implied it was a
Speaker 1: burst or a full automatic, but yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: one they might have marked accidental, just with the way
Speaker 1: that they charge over in Durham, where you know they
Speaker 1: try to not charge people and yet you know, so
Speaker 1: maybe scenario one. Their scenario number three is she's like
Speaker 1: you ruin my life. I can't go out and party.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna solve this and we'll call it like I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 7: I no, no, no, no, no, no, don't go there,
Speaker 7: because then that means that now we've got to get
Speaker 7: a home mom to go over there. I just I
Speaker 7: can't that.
Speaker 1: Where is your woodship or busy?
Speaker 7: It is like, you know what, I actually believe up
Speaker 7: keeping me out of prison that time.
Speaker 1: I don't want them using this at your trials. So
Speaker 1: all right, all right, thank you for the call. Appreciated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to testify. Ross doesn't want
Speaker 1: to have to pull audio, so we'll just stop that
Speaker 1: there again. I don't know. That's that's why I'm throwing
Speaker 1: it out. I just don't know when you write it
Speaker 1: like that would have and then I have to And
Speaker 1: this is this is what's on Durham prosecutors, because what
Speaker 1: I just said to her, I assume whatever I read
Speaker 1: an indictment from you, unless it's like a person who's
Speaker 1: a Republican politician, maybe I assume that whatever's in the
Speaker 1: indictment is the rosiest version of it, so that you
Speaker 1: don't actually have to punish criminals to the fullest extent. Now,
Speaker 1: what would lead me to that conclusion? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Might have had some stories, a lot of stories where
Speaker 1: people are you know, like the guy who went there
Speaker 1: and decided to brandish the gun at the sandwich shop
Speaker 1: over at unc Chapel Hill. And I know what you're saying.
Speaker 1: You're like, well, that's not Durham County. You have to
Speaker 1: remember that. Literally, like a couple days before, he did
Speaker 1: the same damn thing in Durham County down the hill
Speaker 1: at a gas station, and he didn't he didn't spend
Speaker 1: the night in jail, was in there threatening people with
Speaker 1: a firearm. So, yeah, pardon me if when I see
Speaker 1: stories like this, I just make the assumption that this
Speaker 1: is the best case scenario being presented in an indictment
Speaker 1: because it's your pattern. I hope, honestly, I hope to god.
Speaker 1: It's as crazy as it sounds. The first scenario that
Speaker 1: Janet laid out where it's not an accidental discharge because
Speaker 1: she meant to shoot but her target was unintentional. I
Speaker 1: don't know that that would completely restore my faith in humanity,
Speaker 1: but at least within this story, because I just can't
Speaker 1: fathom a world. That's why whenever whenever you see a
Speaker 1: story with with some parrot killing their kid, you try
Speaker 1: to wrap your head around it. Remember trying to wrap
Speaker 1: your head around the Andrea Yates thing, and then the
Speaker 1: totality of that story that was Remember her, She's the
Speaker 1: one who drowned all her kids in that bathtub. And
Speaker 1: they're like, dah, she was having a bad day. I mean,
Speaker 1: that was basically her argument, which actually was kind of effective.
Speaker 1: Partially holy crap, man, because you don't want to live
Speaker 1: in a world where evil like that exists, even if
Speaker 1: you know that it does. Yeah. So a lot of
Speaker 1: people are saying the negligence non accidental negligence. Again, I
Speaker 1: hope that's what it is. But then when she's coming
Speaker 1: out of court and they're like, hey, what happened and
Speaker 1: she's laughing like the joker. What do you want me
Speaker 1: to make of that? The whole thing is creepy times
Speaker 1: twenty man, And that is under underselling it. What is this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could again, That's why I'm I'm being very clear here.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means. I just read that
Speaker 1: and like my whole mood changed. I'm like, what do
Speaker 1: you mean? Non accidental. Also, what do you mean too
Speaker 1: too well? Long rifle? Again, as crazy as that sounds,
Speaker 1: shoot your kid with the long rifles.
Speaker 2: Not that easy.
Speaker 1: I mean, not because they're fast or you know it
Speaker 1: wouldn't hold. I mean it's not easy in the sense
Speaker 1: that when you see when you hear about accidental discharge stuff,
Speaker 1: you're almost exclusively talking about handguns. Stats will tell you
Speaker 1: that a lot of times, obviously, kids get a hold
Speaker 1: of stuff that should have been secured or out of
Speaker 1: the way. But holy cow, all right, six forty two,
Speaker 1: let me let me go ahead and do this. There
Speaker 1: is another milestone in the I'm getting older pyramid that
Speaker 1: I hit this morning, and I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: going to make any effort to pull out of the skid.
Speaker 1: And I feel like some of you are going to
Speaker 1: be in this same boat. So coming up next, why
Speaker 1: we're all older than we think? Okay, here in the
Speaker 1: new year, it's what we do. We'll be back casey
Speaker 1: O Day radio program, disrespectful manner. It's just like, I
Speaker 1: don't know that I have the bandwidth to commit to
Speaker 1: who knowing all this stuff. And maybe it's a hallmark
Speaker 1: of getting older, but it sure makes me feel that way.
Speaker 1: So I see this headline, and I see it on
Speaker 1: multiple different news outlets yesterday you ready, influencer killed demente
Speaker 1: who boasted six million followers on Instagram dead at twenty seven?
Speaker 1: Who or what is a kill demente? I did not know.
Speaker 1: Now I did look it up, you know, or read
Speaker 1: the articles. Anyway. Her name is Carol La Costa. She
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I don't know what her thing is. But
Speaker 1: it's like I've seen these headlines, are like influencers so
Speaker 1: and so and also and this sounds horrible. Now I'm
Speaker 1: reading this and it says she influencer dead at twenty seven.
Speaker 1: There's a small, just a tiny part of me that
Speaker 1: because of the outright lies that influencers will use, you know,
Speaker 1: there's make stuff up for the drama. Twenty seven is
Speaker 1: an awfully convenient number in the world of famous people.
Speaker 1: But now it appears, and by the way it appears,
Speaker 1: she choked on Christmas dinner. I don't know. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing. And again I want to be clear, I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about this woman, her influence, her stick
Speaker 1: or story, whatever it is. It's just am I expected
Speaker 1: to know all the influencers are.
Speaker 2: It's been going on for a while now. Where you
Speaker 2: see these celebrities in the New York Post, it'll be
Speaker 2: like so and so passed away at the age of you.
Speaker 2: It's always like some super young age, right, celebrity you've
Speaker 2: never heard before. And this is something that's always happened,
Speaker 2: right with any every generation that comes along. I remember
Speaker 2: sitting in her living room back way before, way before
Speaker 2: the internet, in the eighties. Yeah, and back then you'd
Speaker 2: get your entertainment news on the television on a show
Speaker 2: called Entertainment Tonight with mar.
Speaker 1: I remember it, yeah, right at the end, Yeah, And we.
Speaker 2: Used to sit there in our living room and watch that.
Speaker 2: And I remember my dad and his recliner with his
Speaker 2: legs up, and they would show like somebody super famous,
Speaker 2: like I'll give an example, like Tom Cruise or something
Speaker 2: right like Tom Cruise in the news, and my dad
Speaker 2: would be sitting there was legs up on the recliner
Speaker 2: and he'd be like, who's that And I'd be like,
Speaker 2: my dad is kidding, obviously he knows who that is.
Speaker 2: But the thing is like he really did not like he.
Speaker 2: And I'm just giving an example.
Speaker 1: A fellow Vietnam Vett who was born on the fourth
Speaker 1: of July. Your dad didn't know who that was.
Speaker 2: I'm just giving you an example.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I totally get what you're saying
Speaker 1: to make sense.
Speaker 2: And I remember looking at my dad and really thinking like,
Speaker 2: there's no way that he can't know who that person
Speaker 2: is because that person is incredibly famous. But now I
Speaker 2: find myself doing this well. Marky will do this all
Speaker 2: the time where sits.
Speaker 1: I love your stories of your wife catching up the
Speaker 1: news man. Those are my favorite.
Speaker 2: It's different for me because we live in the politics,
Speaker 2: but mark is not. That is remote to her. But
Speaker 2: she likes the pop culture stuff.
Speaker 6: So said it.
Speaker 1: So many times.
Speaker 2: She'll bring up somebody and I'll be like, I have
Speaker 2: no idea who that is, and she'll go, yes, you do,
Speaker 2: and I go, no, I don't, and she'll bring up
Speaker 2: She'll show me no look and she'll show in the
Speaker 2: phone this person. I'm like, I don't know who the
Speaker 2: hell that is. I've never seen that person. And she goes,
Speaker 2: We've had this conversation like two weeks ago. I already
Speaker 2: showed you this person the entire IMDb. I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: I've purged it from my brain because it's not important
Speaker 2: and I don't care. So this has always happened and
Speaker 2: now but now it's even worse because it's these influencers.
Speaker 2: It's not like they're in movies or it's not like
Speaker 2: they're like a platinum recording, which.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they are in movies.
Speaker 2: You should they are. But here's the Yeah, that's how
Speaker 2: old I am because the jelly roll guy, I have
Speaker 2: no idea who jelly roll was until like a month ago,
Speaker 2: never heard of the person. I'm like, that is not
Speaker 2: a real person. There's no way there's a person called
Speaker 2: jelly roll. Apparently they're really really famous. But I've I've
Speaker 2: become my father. But now it's even harder because, like
Speaker 2: you said, you have you know, I'm a famous influencer
Speaker 2: on TikTok with a million followers, which.
Speaker 6: Ye yes.
Speaker 2: So to answer your question, yes, we are now old. Okay,
Speaker 2: we are ancient, we are dust.
Speaker 1: I but I don't want and it's again, it's not
Speaker 1: because I necessarily I find that a lot of times
Speaker 1: when I do find out more about an influencer, I
Speaker 1: then hate them. Oh yeah, but I don't. That's not
Speaker 1: my default, right, it's not my default So if you
Speaker 1: want to have six million followers and talk about fat
Speaker 1: positivity and parenting and Dominican issues. I think she's of
Speaker 1: Dominican heritage. That's fine, do your think, but forgive me
Speaker 1: if I don't. And if even though you died at
Speaker 1: the age of twenty seven and pulled a Mama Cass
Speaker 1: right right now, that you've got to think about it.
Speaker 2: That in the followers of this influencer is gonna hear
Speaker 2: your reference and be like, who's a Mama Cass?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 1: They should expand their horizons.
Speaker 2: Maybe we should too. Maybe well, no, no.
Speaker 1: Because our horizons were more narrowly defined. Do you who
Speaker 1: are the top twenty Who are the top twenty TikTokers?
Speaker 1: Do you know?
Speaker 2: I have no idea, But you're going back to my point,
Speaker 2: like back in the day when you'd be in entertainment tonight. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying there's like equal or lesser value, but
Speaker 2: the reason the person would be in this show is
Speaker 2: because they're probably in some sort of blockbuster movie ricking
Speaker 2: billions of dollars at the box office, or you know,
Speaker 2: some platinum selling quadruple diamond record.
Speaker 1: Or they were notorious train wrecks.
Speaker 2: Yes, and now it's like, I've never heard of this
Speaker 2: person before in my life, and you're like, well, what
Speaker 2: are they famous for? Oh they're an influencer. Oh well
Speaker 2: what does that mean. Have they've been in a movie?
Speaker 2: Have they made like a hit song? No, they're just
Speaker 2: they're an influencer.
Speaker 1: Click click, Yeah, dude, I don't know. I just don't
Speaker 1: know that I'm gonna be able to.
Speaker 2: Keep I'm ready for the home. I'm just ready for
Speaker 2: the home.
Speaker 1: Really, you're looking forward to the home? You want to
Speaker 1: do some bachi and sit around and talk about the
Speaker 1: good old days. I maybe maybe, yeah, yeah. Six million
Speaker 1: inflat is six mili. I don't even know how to
Speaker 1: gauge it, because six million on TikTok isn't that great,
Speaker 1: but on Instagram is I I don't know. They always
Speaker 1: try to get us to care about social media around
Speaker 1: these parts, and we care in the sense that we
Speaker 1: have to do it for work, but I don't know
Speaker 1: the ins and out.
Speaker 2: But here's the other thing, Like going back to you
Speaker 2: were talking about Markey, like how she's like I'm so
Speaker 2: jealous because she's like so remote from all the politics stuff,
Speaker 2: and we have this This is how I knew bad.
Speaker 2: This is how I This is the exact moment that
Speaker 2: I knew that Donald Trump was gonna win the election.
Speaker 2: And I've told you this before. We were watching some
Speaker 2: show on Netflix or streaming or whatever, and they went
Speaker 2: to a break and it was a Kamala Harris ad
Speaker 2: and the entire ad was about January sixth. I remember
Speaker 2: the ad, yes, about there was tons of them about
Speaker 2: you know, this happened, and we can't let it happen
Speaker 2: and we'll never forget and all this kind of crap.
Speaker 2: And the ad ends and Marky looks over at me sincerely,
Speaker 2: and she goes, what happened on January sixth? And this
Speaker 2: had been full four years of them acting like January
Speaker 2: sixth was the worst thing since Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 1: Wow, No nobody said that, mom man.
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm like, Trump has this in the bag
Speaker 2: because my wife. This isn't disparaging. I love my wife.
Speaker 2: She is the average person who doesn't pay attention to politics.
Speaker 1: And she's calm less, most sought after demo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's focused on her career and her family. Those
Speaker 2: are her That's what she focuses on, and she's not
Speaker 2: swimming in politics like we are, or people listening to
Speaker 2: this radio station or this.
Speaker 1: Is your wife is incredible. She's way too positive to
Speaker 1: be living with you. Like I see her post on
Speaker 1: social media and she's like talked about community and together
Speaker 1: and like that's her whole thing. So the fact that
Speaker 1: she didn't even no.
Speaker 2: Idea, had never even heard of it, and it had
Speaker 2: been four years of them repeatedly like you know, everything
Speaker 2: on Congress and the list Cheney stuff. No, completely oblivious,
Speaker 2: had never heard of it and didn't care.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gotta be fair. Just I just want
Speaker 1: to throw this last thing on. Ross has to get
Speaker 1: some phones here. Ross also couldn't name all the salespeople
Speaker 1: down the hole. Hey man, that's it, you know why,
Speaker 1: because we just tell it like it is here and
Speaker 1: how it is is completely relatable. I just pointed out
Speaker 1: that I saw a headline this morning for an influencer
Speaker 1: who is dead at the age of twenty seven and
Speaker 1: I and it was on It wasn't just some random
Speaker 1: news site. It was on like multiple news sites, including
Speaker 1: right towards the top of the New York Post. In fact,
Speaker 1: I want to say it was in the trending now
Speaker 1: it is in the trending now. It's the number two
Speaker 1: most clicked story in news on the New York Post
Speaker 1: right now, right after We're all going to have to
Speaker 1: get mass and destroy our economy again because bird flew.
Speaker 1: So that's the first story. And then the second story
Speaker 1: is this influencer killed Demente who boasted six million followers
Speaker 1: on Instagram dead to twenty seven, So she go kill demente. Moros? Wow,
Speaker 1: can you use that last I understand that that is
Speaker 1: a last name that is pretty common among them within
Speaker 1: the Latin world. Ross, do you know what that word means?
Speaker 1: By the way, the month to Moros? Basically, do you
Speaker 1: know what that translates to. It's literally a last name.
Speaker 1: It's it's uh killer of Muslims. Mores specifically is what
Speaker 1: that means. I always thought that was a very weird
Speaker 1: last name. It's very popular, but whatever.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that I read something yesterday on X where
Speaker 2: they were talking about how one of the most popular
Speaker 2: last names literally means what you just said, and I
Speaker 2: had no idea what they were talking about.
Speaker 1: That is that's probably why they were talking about it
Speaker 1: because this check Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what that means.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you're like, Ross, you know, kill the
Speaker 1: checks or what right you know? Or what you know? Whatever?
Speaker 2: It is, like, do you change your last name?
Speaker 5: What do you do?
Speaker 2: I don't know, boy, I mean there's a history there
Speaker 2: right in Spain. You got beef with the checks there,
Speaker 2: there's a little history there in Spain. Yeah, well, pushing
Speaker 2: them out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you for knowing exactly why that is too. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: pusher a more defender of More's or whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it. Yeah, No, it was the whole Uh,
Speaker 1: it was the whole Iberian Peninsula.
Speaker 2: Do you mean the moops? No, of the moops?
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So my point with the influencer stuff is
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have the bandwidth to learn
Speaker 1: everybody's name, So pardon me if I just don't even
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about half the time. But like influencers,
Speaker 1: do you met Ross? You remember when we first started radio.
Speaker 1: The first time you're doing a remote and you're sitting
Speaker 1: there and it's all awkward. You're probably either at a
Speaker 1: car dealership or a cell phone store. Probably a cell
Speaker 1: phone store. I think I've if I had picked the ones,
Speaker 1: I've been at most one of those places. And then
Speaker 1: people are walking up and they may know the station,
Speaker 1: like who are you? Do you remember how much you
Speaker 1: felt like you were wasting their time completely?
Speaker 2: I still feel that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's because you know, like to do those.
Speaker 2: Things, So it's yeah, it's very uncomfortable back then, Yeah,
Speaker 2: especially because you're like, oh, I'm the guy that's on
Speaker 2: like from twelve to like four in the morning, right right.
Speaker 1: You know, know me right here?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But now, man, you get like you get you get
Speaker 1: five thousand followers, and you'll be making a scene at
Speaker 1: the airport for a first class upgrade on the trans
Speaker 1: International and you'd be like, do you know who I am?
Speaker 1: I'll tell my followers, and I'm just like, that's why
Speaker 1: there's only there is a very small handful of times
Speaker 1: that I've ever flexed, And the only way that I've
Speaker 1: ever flexed this is for legitimate problems that have necessarily
Speaker 1: connected to my ability to do the show. And the
Speaker 1: only only flex I have to do is give them
Speaker 1: my email address. That generally solves it. But it's more
Speaker 1: to justify by who we are, right, and it's usually
Speaker 1: not in a public manner. It's like like credentialing, And
Speaker 1: I've had trouble getting credentials before, and I'm like, iHeartMedia.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of it? So it's more the company
Speaker 1: than me. But but man, there isn't a ten thousand
Speaker 1: person Instagram followed individual out there who I feel like
Speaker 1: won't scream in a rat of a waiter's face if
Speaker 1: they don't get free food. And I know it's not
Speaker 1: all of them, but that's where you see these stories.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. And you know, if Ross passed away,
Speaker 1: god forbid, should like we should it be the biggest
Speaker 1: news story out there? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Probably No, that's not the point I would assume. So
Speaker 2: maybe if not, I'm going to haunt.
Speaker 1: You, like maybe on our Twitter account, the show Twitter account. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it would be for that day absolutely, and then probably
Speaker 1: whatever you know the day.
Speaker 2: The services I'm taking at least like a few months
Speaker 2: at least flags down. If not, you're gonna get haunted,
Speaker 2: like for real.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people to hunt, that's all I
Speaker 1: gotta say. You just me, okay, all right, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'll get a get a priest with the smoke and stuff. Man,
Speaker 1: you won't stand a chance. It works works like a charm,
Speaker 1: all right, Uh? Sarah good morning. What's up?
Speaker 9: Good morning. I am calling about the four year old
Speaker 9: child that was shot in Durham. Yeah, I live a
Speaker 9: mile down the road from that. The projects, those are
Speaker 9: projects years ago, when I was an election official, I
Speaker 9: was actually posted there they have a you know, a
Speaker 9: vote in there, and so I'll and and a couple
Speaker 9: A couple of days before that election, there had been
Speaker 9: a shooting in there, and I was told, okay, rumor
Speaker 9: call it rumor call it gossip, but I was told
Speaker 9: that that the crypts and the bloods live in there,
Speaker 9: and that there's a lot of inciting, I guess you
Speaker 9: could call it.
Speaker 1: And so especially in some of those projects, it's a
Speaker 1: big problem.
Speaker 9: Exactly exactly. It's not uncommon. And and I lay in
Speaker 9: that at night and I listened to gunshots that are
Speaker 9: they coming from there? I don't know, could be, but.
Speaker 8: I do.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 9: It's it's it's it's a very nice. Uh, it's a
Speaker 9: very nice addition to.
Speaker 5: To my home.
Speaker 9: But so my theory is is, I'm wondering, and I
Speaker 9: think I heard somebody earlier mentioned this, but I'm wondering
Speaker 9: if there was a second person in that house, potentially
Speaker 9: a gang member who knows, but I wonder if there
Speaker 9: was a second person in the house, her her boyfriend
Speaker 9: or whomever, and that she's taken the cover for him.
Speaker 1: He's the theory. I don't know. That must be the
Speaker 1: things she's like. He's uh trying to look as butch
Speaker 1: as possible and then with the little laugh there, so anything,
Speaker 1: anything's possible. I don't know. I just I wish it
Speaker 1: would it would be it was more detailed. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll learn more, but the more details of the indictment.
Speaker 9: Let's get let's get the mayor on and see. Uh,
Speaker 9: you know, since he's so willing and open to talk
Speaker 9: to you, here we go. Here's the violence. Let's talk
Speaker 9: about it.
Speaker 1: But they're prosecuting her, so I don't know that. I
Speaker 1: don't have anything to call the mara on over that.
Speaker 1: Now we see, we'll see. Well, that's why I want
Speaker 1: to know more details to figure out if they're under
Speaker 1: prosecuting her. And you know, ultimately the mayor is not
Speaker 1: the DA but still man like, if he's genuinely concerned,
Speaker 1: this should be on his radar. I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for the call and fireworks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll hopefully talk to you soon. All right, let's stick
Speaker 1: one more in here, Jake, what's up?
Speaker 8: Hey? We are the awesome powers of America. Now we
Speaker 8: don't know what's going on here?
Speaker 1: Why are we the austin Ours in America?
Speaker 8: Because we're we've been dropped. It almost feels like we've
Speaker 8: been dropping complete because everything's advancing so fast. Probably doing
Speaker 8: all that, we've been dropping to a completely different pop
Speaker 8: culture like the snap up fingers.
Speaker 1: You know, been fast, but we don't know what's going on.
Speaker 6: And you think, but it's the.
Speaker 1: Culture that works for the younger set, so I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously they fully embrace it or movie what it is.
Speaker 8: Well, when whenever we make our movie references, they don't
Speaker 8: know what the heck we're talking about. I mean, when
Speaker 8: you think about Off the Power, that's thirty years after
Speaker 8: the sixties, the nineties, right, so now where are we at?
Speaker 8: We're just about there or we are there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little sad when they don't when they
Speaker 1: think your movie reference, which is a legit movie reference
Speaker 1: to some sort of dad joke, I would agree with you.
Speaker 1: I told you they have no idea what so many
Speaker 1: other thirties who never know that Christmas vacation was a
Speaker 1: movie that was Yeah, I.
Speaker 8: Mean you think like you say, Mike Myers, you know
Speaker 8: all that stuff, and who's Mike Myers when they understand well.
Speaker 1: No, speaking of Shrek, that's what they did when the
Speaker 1: guy from smash Mouth died, right ross.
Speaker 8: And yeah, and nobody had any idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for the call there, Jake. Well and so
Speaker 1: the leads here smash Mouth died. I can't remember how
Speaker 1: the thing was worded, but it's like, uh, so and
Speaker 1: I can't remember his name right now, I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: so and so from smash Mouth from the Shrek movie.
Speaker 2: Right, No, Yeah, I think Jake's example of Austin Powers
Speaker 2: is pretty good accurate because it's like we've been frozen
Speaker 2: and it's just you get stuck in your in your.
Speaker 1: You have a Captain America shield. It's perfect.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's sort of like they say, you know,
Speaker 2: whatever music you like during your high school years, that's
Speaker 2: going to be like where your music knowledge eventually is
Speaker 2: going to end. Like you might have like you know,
Speaker 2: like a decade after that, but pretty much you get
Speaker 2: stuck in that same groove.
Speaker 1: What's a Sabrina Carpenter no idea. See, he's proved your
Speaker 1: own point, no idea. Yeah, she's blonde and bubbly and
Speaker 1: bounces around. That's all that I know. Fair, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming people like her and that's fine. You
Speaker 1: can go ahead and like her. And you know what,
Speaker 1: at least I know her name because she's she's one
Speaker 1: of the top artists out there.
Speaker 2: They say, that's how you know you're getting old. If
Speaker 2: you're like walking around a grocery store and you're listening
Speaker 2: to the music they're playing above, and you're like, man,
Speaker 2: these are my jams. You are officially old the music. Yea,
Speaker 2: you're getting down to the music. Yeah, No, it's because
Speaker 2: you are now the demo of that grocery store. Right,
Speaker 2: So what you're gonna be like back when we were kids,
Speaker 2: if you were walking around the grocery store, they're probably
Speaker 2: playing music from the sixties or seventies, right, And now
Speaker 2: they're playing music from the nineties and the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: But what's even creepier is when music remember songs that
Speaker 1: during our era were problematic at the time, it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, can you believe they said that or
Speaker 1: the video had this? To mind? Now they're literally the
Speaker 1: songs they use for pharmaceutical commerce. She'll say, right, but
Speaker 1: he wants to do what like an animal test his
Speaker 1: new heart medication? What what what you test of odd animals?
Speaker 1: I'm so confused, Trent Resner, tell me what's going on?
Speaker 1: All right, we'll try to figure it all out next.
Speaker 1: Hang on. I'm just pointing out and I think that
Speaker 1: this is We've We've done a good job of highlighting
Speaker 1: this in the conversation. It's just like at some point
Speaker 1: you try to keep up with everything and then you
Speaker 1: just go, nah, not going to and I don't I
Speaker 1: think that my rubicon is going to be recognizing other
Speaker 1: than maybe the top five or six out there, because
Speaker 1: they just come up everywhere social media influencers. And that's okay.
Speaker 1: They probably you know, you talk to a twenty five
Speaker 1: year old social media influencer, they probably can't name anyone
Speaker 1: doing what I do. That's it is what it is.
Speaker 1: But it also makes you feel old as hell. Man
Speaker 1: s Idella research Ross. She actually did put a song
Speaker 1: out so that I think was her impetus, although it's
Speaker 1: h it's so I memtioned im. I mentioned she was
Speaker 1: Dominican or her family was Dominican, So I think the
Speaker 1: song was in it's the name of this Oh well, yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously it's in Spanish. Maya moore nome importa. I love
Speaker 1: myself and I don't care. So yeah, so that's I think,
Speaker 1: what what what built it there? Okay? I just I
Speaker 1: can't promise I'm going to be able to keep up,
Speaker 1: and I don't want people to think that's out of
Speaker 1: disrespect unless you do something weird like those rappers that
Speaker 1: you don't really hear about because you're not into the
Speaker 1: uh online rap scene, which is its own separate thing.
Speaker 1: And then like, the only reason you pick up on
Speaker 1: it is because in Florida they keep singing songs about
Speaker 1: how they're going to kill somebody and then they get
Speaker 1: killed that way, so it's like this weird self fulfilling destiny.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason we took interest in that story.
Speaker 1: And they were in the presidential suite at a holiday
Speaker 1: in which I didn't know was a thing, but Ross
Speaker 1: knew is the thing because he's very learned apparently. Uh
Speaker 1: so that's why we kept up with that stuff. But no, man,
Speaker 1: nowadays it's just everything you loved is a pharmaceutical commercial.
Speaker 1: But every day, what my neck, my back, I I'm
Speaker 1: Keia for osteoporosis medicaid. You you wait for it?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it had like I think the latest one
Speaker 2: I saw was like Crra or something. It was like
Speaker 2: that or and you also hear like any Commosi, like
Speaker 2: hot Stepper and like every other ad and they remember
Speaker 2: that that song like every other murderer murder that was
Speaker 2: the hook murderer remember that. Now it's like, Hey, you
Speaker 2: want to go get milk at the store, murderer.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's tell Us for dairy Queen. My dairy queen
Speaker 1: milkshake brings all the boys to the yard because they
Speaker 1: love dairy Queen. Right, just wait for it. It's comed Ah.
Speaker 2: Is it Kellys or Keylis?
Speaker 1: I can't remember how to pronounce it.
Speaker 2: It's Kalise Khalis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at that. I was already on the road
Speaker 1: to No One's start.
Speaker 2: And the only reason I know that is because they
Speaker 2: did music radio. Like my music knowledge ends the year
Speaker 2: that I started this show. My music knowledge between like
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven and twenty eleven. Don't even challenge him,
Speaker 2: point like I should not know how to pronounce her name,
Speaker 2: but anything after that. When I joined the show in
Speaker 2: twenty eleven, there's a significant drop off. I have no
Speaker 2: knowledge of music after twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Dude. I remember my first one of my first radio
Speaker 1: jobs once I left Wyoming. There was a really old
Speaker 1: radio announcer who was he was lost. He was doing
Speaker 1: the mornings on the AM, and as part of just
Speaker 1: how radio kind of expanded, they wanted him to voice
Speaker 1: track on the Top forty and I remember hearing a
Speaker 1: break he did and he's like Eddie Brickle next. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just steal your childhood, monetize it and make it sad.
Speaker 1: Every pharmaceutical commercial is like a personal insult to somebody.
Speaker 1: These days. It's just like no, and they let you
Speaker 1: change the world. Oh no, come on. Then you're like,
Speaker 1: I probably needed the money for dialysis or something. But
Speaker 1: all right, let me hit on this because this is
Speaker 1: this very important stuff. Actually, it's so important. Double and
Speaker 1: a triple how about a triple break? Are you ready?
Speaker 1: For the first time in the history of this horrible, evil,
Speaker 1: racist derelict, do no good harm to all earth country?
Speaker 1: An Indian American has certified their own election.
Speaker 3: As kicking the votes for president of the United States.
Speaker 3: Are as follows Donald J. Trump of the state of
Speaker 3: Florida has received three hundred and twelve votes.
Speaker 4: M D Harris, go.
Speaker 5: Ahead, go ahead, Oh you look happy?
Speaker 1: I okay, it looks over though. That good look.
Speaker 2: Good look there.
Speaker 4: Kamala D.
Speaker 3: Harris of the state of California has received two hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty six votes.
Speaker 1: How exciting to be alive for this momentous occasion. So
Speaker 1: we found out last hour that for the first time,
Speaker 1: a woman has certified her own presidential ass kicking, and
Speaker 1: now we find out the first Indian American has certified
Speaker 1: their own presidential race aspect.
Speaker 2: Did you see this smirk on a speaker Johnson's face. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole ordeal, dude, that whole thing was messy yesterday.
Speaker 2: How about them going after this? That senator from Nebraska's husband,
Speaker 2: Does anybody check anything? Do you guys know what this is?
Speaker 2: So the new senator from Nebraska or her name escapes me,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. Her husband's there, and her husband is uh,
Speaker 2: he gets to go up for the swearing in, and
Speaker 2: he's the one who's gonna hold the Bible, and it's
Speaker 2: just it's a you know, it's a it's a conga
Speaker 2: line on this stuff. Right, She's got to swear everybody
Speaker 2: in as part of their duties as vice president. And
Speaker 2: it's pretty It's like when you're watching a graduation walk
Speaker 2: across the stage, right, shake this hand, shake that hand,
Speaker 2: grab this diploma, stop for picture, shake that hand, walk off,
Speaker 2: And that's kind of how it goes.
Speaker 1: Except the husband of the senator, who's now in between
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and the senator, the soon to be senator
Speaker 1: she's just about to get sworn in, doesn't shake Kamala's hand,
Speaker 1: and people baft, people did zero point zero percent, like
Speaker 1: even scanning the entire photo or video and immediately like,
Speaker 1: what a maggot, what a piece of garbage. Here's the audio. Okay,
Speaker 1: so audio isn't gonna tell you much, but let me
Speaker 1: explain to you something. So there's a reason he didn't
Speaker 1: shake Kamala Harris's hand, and it's not for the reasons
Speaker 1: that are being alleged in all of these immedia takedown
Speaker 1: Oh what a monster. This is the let me read
Speaker 1: the quote here. This is the level of class you
Speaker 1: can expect from a maga. Maga anger, resentment, bitterness, civility.
Speaker 1: As a foreign land, never visit it, just on and
Speaker 1: on and on and you can see it in some
Speaker 1: of the in the video you can see it, but
Speaker 1: you can definitely see it in the video one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: But even in some of the photos, all you gotta
Speaker 1: do is look at the bottom of the photo. He
Speaker 1: has two hands. One is holding the bike. Okay, what's
Speaker 1: the other hand doing? Why the other hand is holding
Speaker 1: him up? If it wasn't evidenced enough by the way
Speaker 1: that this elderly gentleman sauntered over very slowly, very methodically,
Speaker 1: and clearly with a cane, one of those prong canes
Speaker 1: in his hands, that's why he didn't read, because if
Speaker 1: he reached out to shake her hand, he would have
Speaker 1: either had to drop the Bible or fall over. Those
Speaker 1: are his choices, and uh, nobody spent a minute trying
Speaker 1: to figure that out. He is clear. I don't know
Speaker 1: why he's walking with that can. When I say he's elderly,
Speaker 1: he's older. He's you know, he's past retirement. Age looks
Speaker 1: relatively fair. I don't know if he just had a
Speaker 1: hip replacement, he's got something. It doesn't matter. I can
Speaker 1: see the guy's got a cane, and they just they
Speaker 1: they were going to go after him over that.
Speaker 2: But you know.
Speaker 1: That's that's what you do when you don't of a crap.
Speaker 2: And you see people like, oh, well, the original poster
Speaker 2: who said at least of bad things about Maga obviously
Speaker 2: didn't see the cane, right, But then you have every
Speaker 2: one of the comments pointing out that, hey, bro, there's
Speaker 2: a cane. This old man is holding a cane, and
Speaker 2: if he shakes the hand, he's gonna drop the cane
Speaker 2: and fall over because he's ancient at that point, right,
Speaker 2: if you weren't, shouldn't wouldn't you?
Speaker 1: You're Tyler Cohen. This this weirdo podcast through I think
Speaker 1: is the original post.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at that point, don't you delete the post? I do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would feel horror. And look, I've I've incorrectly.
Speaker 2: Called stuff, right, how can that post still be up?
Speaker 1: Well, it's getting clicks, man, and and it's and it's
Speaker 1: funny because of course he's got his blue check, so
Speaker 1: he's monetized, so he's he's willing to feed on that. Man,
Speaker 1: he probably knew in this day and age of rage,
Speaker 1: you know, rage bait who knows? Man, Oh, this guy's
Speaker 1: an idiot. With everything that I've seen. Every time I
Speaker 1: happen to be unlucky enough to scroll across one of
Speaker 1: his tweets. I mean, he's clearly plugged into the game.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, drop the Bible. Can you imagine if
Speaker 1: if they senator the soon to be senator from Nebraska's
Speaker 1: husband threw a Bible on the ground, they would say
Speaker 1: throw but drop the Bible. All of a sudden, they'd
Speaker 1: be wrapped in all of their you know, their crucifixes
Speaker 1: and the like, Oh my gosh, how dairy. The guy
Speaker 1: had to hold the Bible up for his wife and
Speaker 1: the vice president to do their thing, and he had
Speaker 1: to hold himself up because that's what you do. And
Speaker 1: yet here we are with this conversation. All right, so
Speaker 1: I mentioned something here and I think this is a
Speaker 1: good litmus test if you are somebody who thinks we
Speaker 1: don't want to defund the police, but you also think
Speaker 1: that the current state of policing is bad, bad, bad,
Speaker 1: because they're just randomly out there shooting all the and
Speaker 1: then you know, insert whichever racist story you want to there,
Speaker 1: and and they say, well, what they need is they
Speaker 1: need more training, de escalation techniques, all of that stuff. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: if you believe that, if you believe that officers who
Speaker 1: have more training, and I agree with you, by the way,
Speaker 1: are going to be better officers. And I'll give you
Speaker 1: my reasoning on this. Then why are people kicking and
Speaker 1: screaming over modernizing the training facility that the Durham Sheriff uses,
Speaker 1: not just the Durham share. A lot of times these
Speaker 1: law enforcement training facilities are used by other departments, smaller departments,
Speaker 1: who will lease them. I don't know fully the plant
Speaker 1: with the plan would be there in Durham, but yes,
Speaker 1: citizens are blocking over a proposed sixteen million dollar upgrade
Speaker 1: to the Durham County Sheriff's Office training facility, which hasn't
Speaker 1: gotten basically for decades. They haven't done anything like they
Speaker 1: don't even have running plumbing out there for a bathroom,
Speaker 1: and so they have a portable they bring out a
Speaker 1: porta potty for them. Now, is that the worst thing?
Speaker 1: I've been in a range? If you shoot, you've probably
Speaker 1: been to a range or they've got a port a
Speaker 1: potty or none at all. But if you want to
Speaker 1: have a facility due to the sheer volume of deputies
Speaker 1: that go through this, not to mention other departments which
Speaker 1: may pay you to use it, recouping some of your investment.
Speaker 1: If you honestly believe that you have no You have
Speaker 1: no sheds, garages, you have no training facilities there, and
Speaker 1: it's important that you have it. You have no running water,
Speaker 1: you have no bathrooms, you have you don't have. Maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know the level of modern that they have
Speaker 1: there from a shoot house perspective, or even if they
Speaker 1: have one, But let me tell you what. An officer
Speaker 1: who is immensely more comfortable with their firearm, because this
Speaker 1: is the part you guys are all hating on, is
Speaker 1: going to be an officer who is better at their
Speaker 1: job right, who's not getting nervous, who understand when you
Speaker 1: understand your equipment, you're so much better with it one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Except for me, when I buy a golf club,
Speaker 1: there's just there's no fixing that. But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: There are handguns that I have that all fell in
Speaker 1: a lake. I don't know what happened to him that
Speaker 1: I am immensely more comfortable with. And if I was
Speaker 1: doing like a gunfighter match or something, there's no question,
Speaker 1: like I'm not running out there with my desert eagle.
Speaker 1: That's dumb. I'm not running out there with a particular
Speaker 1: rifle that I'm fighting with that doesn't like to give
Speaker 1: the brass back. I have to shave it down, probably
Speaker 1: legally of course atf So like you want this and
Speaker 1: you want them to have classroom training, you want them
Speaker 1: to have scenario training. That scenario training, when done right,
Speaker 1: is pretty incredible. I've told you one of the coolest
Speaker 1: things I got to do was go down to do
Speaker 1: some of the military scenario training. When I got to
Speaker 1: go visit down at the Air Force base there down
Speaker 1: in Goldsboro. And I'm telling you, man being able to
Speaker 1: being able to be in that scenario and one of them,
Speaker 1: and I guess maybe some of you in the military
Speaker 1: might recognize this. What are the first scenarios we're in,
Speaker 1: I don't know, some Afghani warlords, hut or whatever, and
Speaker 1: there's chaos, It's just absolute chaos. We have an interpreter there.
Speaker 1: There's a couple old elder Taliban elders screaming. He's trying
Speaker 1: to translate, and you have to in the madness, pick
Speaker 1: up on the fact that in that training scenario, your
Speaker 1: interpreter over those voices is screaming to you. He's threatening
Speaker 1: to detonate himself and you have to make a decision
Speaker 1: there to literally shoot the guy. And I, in spite
Speaker 1: of going what is going on, I actually one shot
Speaker 1: of the dude and for a moment they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: this guy might be good and then I just embarrassed
Speaker 1: myself on the other stuff. But like, you want officers
Speaker 1: to be trained in those situations, especially when you're dealing
Speaker 1: with things in Durham where officer involves shootings happen. So yes, yes,
Speaker 1: should you maybe make that investment. If you're serious that
Speaker 1: you think that training is something for police, you should
Speaker 1: and if you don't, you're a hypocrite. Okay, that's all there.
Speaker 1: You go just want to lay it out, So put
Speaker 1: your money where your mouth is. Seven forty six raced Agic.
Speaker 1: His mouth is all about snow and that's how he
Speaker 1: makes his money.
Speaker 10: Yeah the alarms, Yeah yeah, and this morning from snow
Speaker 10: yesterday in spots. Weather Service did put a statement out
Speaker 10: there may be some black ice around in areas too
Speaker 10: where we've seen the wet road services kind of freeze
Speaker 10: over temperatures down to the twenties this morning, So just
Speaker 10: take it easy out there. If you're driving you see
Speaker 10: something looks a little glassy or maybe get a little
Speaker 10: haze on it. There could be on some of the backstreets,
Speaker 10: especially a little bit of ice still occurring, but in
Speaker 10: terms of accumulating snowfall not over the next couple of days,
Speaker 10: but the chances once again get ramped up for everybody
Speaker 10: this time to see an accumulating snow event and becoming
Speaker 10: more likely too. Yes, yes, but you will go to
Speaker 10: school Friday, kids, so pass that message of long parents.
Speaker 10: The snow is probably not coming in until Friday night
Speaker 10: and on the early Saturday maybe I'm probably still yeah,
Speaker 10: they probably will. He'll do like the just in case
Speaker 10: and do that dumb remote learning. Can I say that
Speaker 10: dumb remote learning thing?
Speaker 1: I mean it's silly show.
Speaker 10: Yeah, let the kids have their day. You know, it
Speaker 10: was kind of fun back in the day. You have
Speaker 10: a snow day and you'd be able to actually have
Speaker 10: a day off, and it was fun. Let's not take all.
Speaker 1: The fun snow days. Two snow days my entire child
Speaker 1: in Wyoming, in Wyoming, I know, and we used to
Speaker 1: get and worked out so badly because by noon the
Speaker 1: visibility was one hundred percent. Again, the superintendent was getting
Speaker 1: grief for canceling school exactly, not anymore. It's like you
Speaker 1: get grief or not canceling.
Speaker 2: To this day, I can't stand the Ichabod Crane school
Speaker 2: District jump in New York because they were closed all
Speaker 2: the time, and Schenectady would always be open, like two
Speaker 2: feet of snow.
Speaker 1: You're the rich the school to school.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's a flashback. I knew Ray would know.
Speaker 10: I knew, yeah, m hm yeah, And yeah it's crazy
Speaker 10: because it's I can only remember like once where we
Speaker 10: had actually two days closed in a row. But again,
Speaker 10: it doesn't the facts are the facts. It doesn't show
Speaker 10: like it used to back in the day. Either in
Speaker 10: the Northeast. Maybe they'll come back, maybe not. And here, uh,
Speaker 10: it looks like the setup days are now today through
Speaker 10: Thursday and Friday. Upper thirties maybe forty degrees, overnight lows
Speaker 10: in the upper teens to low twenties, so cold mornings
Speaker 10: and little breeze Around's gonna feel even chillier the next
Speaker 10: to several days. And then clouds are thicking up Friday
Speaker 10: and low pressure coming out of Texas, I believe it
Speaker 10: or not, already winter storm watches for Dallas. We'll start spreading.
Speaker 10: The presep been west to east Friday night to Saturday, so.
Speaker 6: Still some questions.
Speaker 1: Got another day or so to sort.
Speaker 10: It all out, but it does look like the timing
Speaker 10: will be later Friday Ato Friday night amounts the opportunities
Speaker 10: there for several inches for some. It all depends on
Speaker 10: how much mixing we get. So the closer to the
Speaker 10: low pressure you're going to be trying old points south
Speaker 10: and east, maybe a little more mixing may hold totals down.
Speaker 1: But try it west.
Speaker 10: Into the mountains right now you could easily see another
Speaker 10: three four inch snow event, maybe more in some spots.
Speaker 10: So we still have got tomorrow stif got Thursday and
Speaker 10: actually Friday morning too to fine tune the forecast. But
Speaker 10: i'd start thinking about now and prepping for what looks
Speaker 10: to be maybe a Friday night and Saturday could be
Speaker 10: a little tricky to get around, so maybe, uh, I'm
Speaker 10: not gonna sound the bread and milk alert, but hey,
Speaker 10: do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: To be prepared. Oh, here we go, all right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're right.
Speaker 6: I know you'd love that.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for that. Appreciate all right, you
Speaker 1: raced age instigator here on the Cacoday Radio program Hang
Speaker 1: on the Glass ceiling has again been shattered. Is this
Speaker 1: morning we're able to celebrate for the first time in
Speaker 1: this nation history where an African American woman has been
Speaker 1: forced to certify her own election drubbing The.
Speaker 3: Votes for President of the United States are as follows.
Speaker 4: Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred
Speaker 3: and twelve votes.
Speaker 1: Tamala Harris, Kamala, Oh that's you.
Speaker 5: I can head at that, oh yellow gable action.
Speaker 4: Kamala D.
Speaker 3: Harris of the state of California has received two hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty six votes.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 1: We have a witness history on this show now three
Speaker 1: times this morning, as we have now celebrated because diversity
Speaker 1: is our strength, the first African American woman to have
Speaker 1: to certify her own election, but kicking the first in
Speaker 1: an American woman to do so, and the first woman
Speaker 1: to do so, and of course the whole process yesterday,
Speaker 1: which it ran smoothly. The Democrats, I want to point
Speaker 1: this out, for the first time since the nineteen eighties
Speaker 1: didn't do one of those those you know, performative objections,
Speaker 1: you know, all the things they did forever. And then
Speaker 1: when Trump people brought up. They're like, you're an election deniron.
Speaker 1: They're like, you literally at Trump's twenty sixteen election denied
Speaker 1: it craziest, just the politics of all of it. They
Speaker 1: didn't do it. They didn't do it by design. Let's
Speaker 1: just be honest. Because they feel that this is them
Speaker 1: recapturing the moral high ground. It wasn't. Because one of
Speaker 1: the lunatics there, you know, which you know, pick your
Speaker 1: favorite lunatic didn't want to stand up there and go,
Speaker 1: I object to this for no real reason, but I
Speaker 1: object to this. And then I saw one of the
Speaker 1: right I think it was one of the Hill writers,
Speaker 1: was talking about the level of Republican cruelty to force
Speaker 1: this woman to stand there and endure this process.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they pounced, they pounced.
Speaker 1: It's her job. It's literally her job, one of the
Speaker 1: things that is her job, and actually do it.
Speaker 2: That's what you say. But if we put an old
Speaker 2: white guy in that position, would you be saying the same.
Speaker 1: Thing, Like, you mean, an old white guy who had
Speaker 1: just lost the presidential election, Like I don't know Mitt
Speaker 1: Romney or John McCain or who's the other guy I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of? Is there one more recent than that? Who
Speaker 1: had to then certify their own uh or at least
Speaker 1: a part of the process. I understand that they weren't
Speaker 1: the vice president at the time, but is there one
Speaker 1: that's more squarely on point than I'm forgetting?
Speaker 2: I mean, if he has the courage.
Speaker 1: That'd be fair. There was some debate over whether he should.
Speaker 2: But what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: The last guy, the person who you high you read
Speaker 1: rovered in and out of the house you live in
Speaker 1: right now? Are you freaking?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 1: She shouldn't have to endure this. Jd Vance was smiling.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'd be smiling to. I just
Speaker 1: won the election. I don't think do you think he's
Speaker 1: personal or do you think he's just like, Hey, this
Speaker 1: is pretty cool. I'm about to be the vice president,
Speaker 1: might be the president one day. Now.
Speaker 2: It goes back to that scary d we played before
Speaker 2: the election where they said he was going to become
Speaker 2: a cyborg after after the because Trump's.
Speaker 1: Gonna die and then him and Elon are going to
Speaker 1: make themselves immortal super bean AI super beans and then
Speaker 1: just dictatorial rule. Oh you think that's why he's smiling,
Speaker 1: because he's about to be dictator for life and immortal.
Speaker 1: Which boy, pair those two things together, that gets that
Speaker 1: gets crazy town. All right, it's a possibility. Would you
Speaker 1: be excited if you knew we're about to become an
Speaker 1: AI mortal super bean.
Speaker 2: I do it, I'd be so happy, Like you'd be.
Speaker 1: The but you'd be among the first. So like you,
Speaker 1: hope they get it right right, because I mean it
Speaker 1: may not where you're kind of a test subject at that.
Speaker 2: I'll be fine. I'll be fine. And once they start
Speaker 2: multiplying and cloning myself, ah like kind that'll free up
Speaker 2: a lot of time for me.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's why you're gonna everyone's gonna pay because you
Speaker 1: don't need them to build the monuments to you. You
Speaker 1: will have yourself to do that. Well, they will be
Speaker 1: more loyal except in every movie that I've ever seen
Speaker 1: at some point. So all right, back to state politics.
Speaker 1: He would love to be an immortal super bean, but
Speaker 1: right now he's just the governor. That's Governor Josh Stein.
Speaker 1: We'll call him governor a short round until I think
Speaker 1: of something better or that sticks. Really the only thing
Speaker 1: that popped in the head. But keep in mind, Ross
Speaker 1: is very excited because now we have a governor who
Speaker 1: speaks at a normal pace, which makes dubbing stuff in easier,
Speaker 1: But it doesn't make it easier to sit there and
Speaker 1: listen to all of these great ideas he thought about
Speaker 1: on Day one the other day, which some of us
Speaker 1: have been wondering, as he held a position of power,
Speaker 1: and as his predecessor within his own party same party,
Speaker 1: held a position of power, why these are suddenly all
Speaker 1: of a sudden they're big priorities when it might have
Speaker 1: been more helpful. You know that they're literally, uh, just
Speaker 1: about to force people whose properties literally are gone and
Speaker 1: I you know how's the house is gone, the car
Speaker 1: has gone, maybe the ability to rebuild on it is gone.
Speaker 1: They wanted to remind them that they have to pay
Speaker 1: their taxes, their property taxes. You have to do it now.
Speaker 1: They're correct in saying that there is not currently a
Speaker 1: legal mechanism. My question is why, how is this not
Speaker 1: foreseeable or should If you own a piece of property,
Speaker 1: even if your house floated away, the value of the
Speaker 1: property is still the value of the property, though it
Speaker 1: doesn't have the homestead per se on it anymore. But
Speaker 1: you could rebuild it and should should they have a
Speaker 1: tax obligation? I think that's a fair question, but it's
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. We don't have a like it's this
Speaker 1: is blood from a turn up at this point. And
Speaker 1: we do tax deferral stuff all the time. We do
Speaker 1: tax abatement stuff all the time. It's one of the
Speaker 1: ways that we bribe companies to come into the state
Speaker 1: tax abatements. Right, so you know, but I get to
Speaker 1: pay the new shoe you know, some shoe factory or whatever,
Speaker 1: or an auto manufacturer. Right, they don't have to pay
Speaker 1: them money. They just have to not take their money.
Speaker 1: That's how they do these things. They go, oh, well,
Speaker 1: if you move your auto dealership auto manufacturer here, we'll
Speaker 1: give you a ten year tax abatement worth forty million
Speaker 1: dollars if you meet these hiring goals and these production goals.
Speaker 1: That's how those deals are structured. And so then when
Speaker 1: it's time to pay the taxes, they just don't pay
Speaker 1: the taxes to the state. So if we can do that,
Speaker 1: which by the way, is also a stick in the
Speaker 1: eye to every person who established, built and expanded a
Speaker 1: business in North Carolina, But that's another story for another day.
Speaker 1: You're telling me that somebody who doesn't have a home
Speaker 1: or a job or a vehicle. Maybe even now you
Speaker 1: think you think they're going to be able to stroke
Speaker 1: you a check for all those property taxes, especially because
Speaker 1: you probably have a lot of people that aren't sitting
Speaker 1: there on bank loans. It's not just coming out. They
Speaker 1: got to write that check. A lot of you out
Speaker 1: there write that check. And I've heard from a lot
Speaker 1: of you, especially with what Wake County decided to do
Speaker 1: to all of us. And I hear Joco's, you know,
Speaker 1: lubing it up down there and many others. So if
Speaker 1: you're in Buncom County and you can't even go and
Speaker 1: you can, maybe you can't even access your property now
Speaker 1: you got to pay the full square tax. I just
Speaker 1: don't know how they're going to do it. So anyway,
Speaker 1: back to governor short round, what are your right fresh
Speaker 1: ideas that nobody's thought of?
Speaker 11: With my first order on providing a limited waiver on
Speaker 11: state procurement regulations so that we can quickly increase the
Speaker 11: supply of temporary housing units on people's properties to keep
Speaker 11: them safely through the winter.
Speaker 1: Well that's a good idea, Roz. Had you heard that
Speaker 1: there were people having trouble getting the certification to put
Speaker 1: smaller homes on their properties. Had you heard any of that?
Speaker 1: Josh just did. Yeah, that's been a thing. Bro.
Speaker 11: They begin the process of rebuilding or repairing.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be wholly negative. The stuff
Speaker 1: that he's doing here is not bad stuff, but it's
Speaker 1: either stuff that should have been done before, should have
Speaker 1: been talked about before, or is already part of what
Speaker 1: the legislature did.
Speaker 11: The second order addresses the need to urgently repair private roads.
Speaker 1: You know what, Ross, You're right, he does get right
Speaker 1: into it. Man. That has to be a pleasure editing that, dude.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it's a blessing.
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean there was, there's no yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Compared to Roy Cooper, you'd be like, all right, Barack.
Speaker 1: Obama was kind of bad to it, but Roy Cooper
Speaker 1: it was just so.
Speaker 2: Folksy, man, and it was so slow. In Barack Obama
Speaker 2: you'd have to cut the pauses.
Speaker 1: Out well, but you had to debate whether he cut
Speaker 1: him out. That is a real issue when when you're
Speaker 1: talking about it. So I would always disclose if we
Speaker 1: cut any out, because sometimes pauses are very meaningful and
Speaker 1: that's just his his style.
Speaker 11: Wemate Hurricane Helene damaged more than eight thousand of these.
Speaker 6: Without these bridges or roads, people.
Speaker 11: Cannot access their properties. First responders, school buses, delivery trucks,
Speaker 11: private cars cannot access affected properties. It should go without
Speaker 11: saying that when someone experiences an emergency, ambulances, fire trucks,
Speaker 11: police vehicles must be able to get to people's homes.
Speaker 1: Well, I have an interesting question on that. So is
Speaker 1: that just for hurricane victims, or let's say I don't
Speaker 1: know a riot in a community where they're blocking all
Speaker 1: the roads for justice and fiery but mostly peaceful protesting
Speaker 1: because like we have stories they remember in Missouri they
Speaker 1: literally charge it and then the UK they just give
Speaker 1: that chick ten years in jail for essentially making it
Speaker 1: impassable in an emergency situation for a ambulance. So my question
Speaker 1: is how much do you believe that. I mean, you're correct,
Speaker 1: it is a problem. It's a very unique problem due
Speaker 1: to topography and just the way the mountains work. Right,
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot easier to put roads when
Speaker 1: everything's flat. So with mountains, a lot of times you're
Speaker 1: along waterways. Is your main point of access which the
Speaker 1: roads run adjacent to and was driven in the mountains
Speaker 1: knows this. And then if there's a bunch of flooding,
Speaker 1: that's obviously going to be very impacted. So all right, continue.
Speaker 11: That's why I'm directing the Director of Division of Emergency Management,
Speaker 11: Will Ray.
Speaker 1: You're directing the director.
Speaker 11: That's a flex to quickly procure the services of bridge
Speaker 11: and road builders to get to work repairing these private
Speaker 11: bridges and roads.
Speaker 1: Now, what about people from West Virginia who build roads? Oh,
Speaker 1: not those guys, okay, all right, not those roads, okay,
Speaker 1: to be clear.
Speaker 11: The third order, it's a dedicated group within my office
Speaker 11: focusing on coordinating our all of state government approach to
Speaker 11: respond to the emergency. The Governor's Recovery Office for Western
Speaker 11: North Carolina. We are calling it grow and see.
Speaker 1: Great here and I would lull And here's what I
Speaker 1: mean this. If you set up something that is robust,
Speaker 1: and you know it can't be a standing thing, but
Speaker 1: is robust enough to be able to kick in when
Speaker 1: is needed, that'd be great. Because your predecessor and you,
Speaker 1: to some extent now walking in are dealing with victims
Speaker 1: of hurricanes from eight years ago that still don't have
Speaker 1: houses built out that they were promised and in fact,
Speaker 1: your predecessor had to fire the person in charge because
Speaker 1: she was so inept at it. So I hope whatever
Speaker 1: this is UH provides a more nimble opportunity to help people.
Speaker 1: But again, you can't go back and race the part
Speaker 1: where you were never critical of these huge things that
Speaker 1: people were seeing. You just went along to get along
Speaker 1: because you don't want to damage your party's brand. People
Speaker 1: remember it.
Speaker 11: Additionally, it establishes a division of Community Revitalization within the
Speaker 11: Department of Commerce to address long term housing construction and
Speaker 11: community resilience.
Speaker 1: Wait, so what does that mean? What do you mean
Speaker 1: long term housing construction? You mean projects and stuff, right,
Speaker 1: because you're not talking about When you say housing construct
Speaker 1: you're not talking about helping people get their homes back.
Speaker 1: You're talking about that feels multi family for days the
Speaker 1: way that you're describing it. Right there, sir.
Speaker 11: The fourth formalized actually are already established Advisory Committee on
Speaker 11: Western North Carolina Recovery, comprised of business, government and civic
Speaker 11: leaders from across Western North Carolina to ensure that we
Speaker 11: do this critical work.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: Is it across political spectrums too?
Speaker 3: Or?
Speaker 1: All right? One more, one more, you got one more?
Speaker 1: You got one more in your short round. Okay, here
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 6: The fifth order I will direct.
Speaker 11: I have directed the State Office of Human Resources to
Speaker 11: authorize state employees to use sixteen additional hours of community
Speaker 11: service leave.
Speaker 6: To meet the needs of the people of western North Carolina.
Speaker 11: I encourage state employees to continue volunteering their time with
Speaker 11: local governments and nonprofit organizations to help their neighbors and need.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so there you go. There is his
Speaker 1: day one. Here's what we're doing stuff. And again there's
Speaker 1: some stuff in there that, if it's done right, is necessary.
Speaker 1: And I hope that he accomplishes it. And I hope that,
Speaker 1: you know, the next natural disaster that hits North Carolina,
Speaker 1: I don't have to sit here on the radio fishing
Speaker 1: through all of the videos and stories that emerge while
Speaker 1: you're screaming that it's all fake. Oh if people are
Speaker 1: exaggerating knowing that it's not, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: You you guys know somebody who one of their family
Speaker 1: members went missing. They never found that person, right to
Speaker 1: your knowledge.
Speaker 2: That's correct. Yeah, it's very sad.
Speaker 1: It's a incredible I don't I'm not going to dig
Speaker 1: it all these but like there's a lot of those
Speaker 1: stories out there. And while I'm not saying that Josh
Speaker 1: Stein could have on that day done anything, what I'm
Speaker 1: pointing out is there was a lot more going on,
Speaker 1: and so when you were downplaying it, or when Biden
Speaker 1: was down here going I just talked to everyone. They said,
Speaker 1: it's great boy. Did you hear him screaming at reporters
Speaker 1: the other day? But he gives zero f's on the
Speaker 1: way out. And I don't know, maybe it'll be amusing,
Speaker 1: but holy cow, is out here part or clemency murderers
Speaker 1: letting dudes out of Guantanamo so they can go get
Speaker 1: back to their life and o man, which is what
Speaker 1: they do. As we know, when you release people from Guantano,
Speaker 1: they go right back open falafel shops and stuff. It's fine. Oh,
Speaker 1: all the berg doll guys went back to terrorism. Okay,
Speaker 1: I stand corrected, so I hope. But the glaring lack
Speaker 1: of anything profound in advocating for your own state didn't
Speaker 1: go unnoticed. We all saw it. It's all gross, okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. Coming up on the show I Love by
Speaker 1: the way, one of my favorite and we didn't talk
Speaker 1: about it yesterday. Ross, when you saw Donald Trump talk
Speaker 1: about getting Greenland Canada and joking about Panama right as
Speaker 1: we went into.
Speaker 2: Vacation, did you laugh a little?
Speaker 1: Did you have a little sense of humor?
Speaker 2: I mean I cheered.
Speaker 1: A lot of people did not find humor in the situation,
Speaker 1: and many of those people are Canadian. But that's fine.
Speaker 1: I understand that. And some of them are showing out performatively,
Speaker 1: which is that's fine by me. It's funny because you
Speaker 1: have some national pride but also some interesting points. And
Speaker 1: the irony is I actually flew over the Panama Canal
Speaker 1: and landed in panel. It's part of my vacation. So
Speaker 1: hm hm hmmm. All right, we'll be back to talk
Speaker 1: about it. Hang on, where he's announcing that meta or
Speaker 1: Facebook is going to go to community notes versus fact checkers.
Speaker 1: But did you see the actual Visia video of Zuckerberg?
Speaker 1: Hang on, send this over to you.
Speaker 6: You know I've seen it.
Speaker 1: Oh you have to, Okay, I was just you know,
Speaker 1: you know, Mark Cuban looked like he was turning into
Speaker 1: either Rachel Maddow or Rosie o'donnald or whatever. Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: looks like he's turning into Mark Cuban, turning into Rosio o'donald,
Speaker 1: who's turning into Rachel Maddow. This guy's got his own
Speaker 1: Hawaiian Island bro. What's the chair? The shirt? The chair.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fashionista, but I'm not a no man.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think it's a bad that he's
Speaker 2: becoming like more of a human being because he used
Speaker 2: to look like an alien with no personality, and now
Speaker 2: he's growing out his hair, and he's been out with
Speaker 2: the MMA guys, and he's been surfing and.
Speaker 1: Dana White, by the way, if you guys don't know,
Speaker 1: Dana White's now on the metal board.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, he's he's done like a one
Speaker 2: to eighty.
Speaker 1: But is it? Is it just Cya or do you
Speaker 1: think because I always got the reado off Zuckerberg that
Speaker 1: politics didn't interest him much because he was just like
Speaker 1: if he's even remotely close to the personality portrayed in
Speaker 1: that Social Network movie, which I believe he is. But
Speaker 1: those lawsuits are they were reading verbati from him?
Speaker 2: Reminds me of the study. I'm sure you've seen the
Speaker 2: study where they showed that that people like men who
Speaker 2: lack testostero and tend to go more to the left. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: And it seems like since he started going to the
Speaker 2: gym and taking care of himself, he seemed to become
Speaker 2: more based.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's posted videos of him longboard surfing in
Speaker 1: a tuxedo drinking a beer.
Speaker 2: I mean that's funny.
Speaker 1: I mean it is. Yeah, again, I don't have a beef.
Speaker 1: Where my problem with Zuckerberg lies is when they could
Speaker 1: jole him into Zuckbucks. You know where they're out they're
Speaker 1: manipulating elections stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't I think certain. I mean, you could say
Speaker 2: that it's just because Trump won, but he was showing
Speaker 2: these signs before the election, a year or so before
Speaker 2: the election.
Speaker 1: Is it just the billionaire version of what normal people
Speaker 1: ended up having to do where they had to hide
Speaker 1: there who they really were. And I don't know they
Speaker 1: feel that they're free to say.
Speaker 2: It might just be a matter of the natural evolution.
Speaker 2: A person tends to go towards right, where when they're younger,
Speaker 2: they tend to be more.
Speaker 1: Blue and yeah, you're young, you don't have a heart,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Right, and then they get older and they get you know,
Speaker 2: more life experience and to become more red.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, those people are drifters. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: not working. Case in point, there's a you're not gonna
Speaker 1: hear a bunch of this in the in the the
Speaker 1: media today. Do you know they just released one of
Speaker 1: those big, big, big studies on guarantee basic income that
Speaker 1: they did in California. So Compton, California was the host
Speaker 1: of one of the big ones, and so they did
Speaker 1: it for years, and so they just put this out,
Speaker 1: actually put it. They put it out within the you know,
Speaker 1: the academic elite back in November. But now we're finally
Speaker 1: getting more details on this. All right, So here's how
Speaker 1: it worked in in Compton. Hold on, it's really they
Speaker 1: got to open it on this because it's in a
Speaker 1: Twitter thread. Twitter makes it hard now with when you
Speaker 1: do the links there if it doesn't go to the app. Sorry,
Speaker 1: woefully unprepared.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
Speaker 1: So the study Ross, you haven't seen this study at all.
Speaker 1: I haven't sent it to you, so I want you
Speaker 1: to guess what happened. Okay, So the study, which lasts
Speaker 1: for two years in Compton, California, gave five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: per month to seven hundred households, and then they had
Speaker 1: a control group of double that actually fourteen hundred, So
Speaker 1: they didn't get money, but they tracked their spending within
Speaker 1: their households and they watched the evolution of it. So
Speaker 1: what do you think happened these seven hundred households that
Speaker 1: were given five hundred dollars per month? Do you think
Speaker 1: because they're the option is they quit all their work
Speaker 1: and they just try to live off five hundred. They
Speaker 1: combine it with social services that may already exist but
Speaker 1: continue to work, or they use it to transform away
Speaker 1: from social services. Or the fourth one is they keep
Speaker 1: all of it, but then they work extra because they
Speaker 1: see a pathway to maybe getting rich. All right, which
Speaker 1: one of those four scenarios do you think they?
Speaker 2: I think they invested in bitcoin and they you know,
Speaker 2: kept denying their portfolio and they diversified their bonds.
Speaker 1: They did invest in something. It was not bitcoin though
Speaker 1: it is a type of currency. Though. Do you know
Speaker 1: what the largest as a percentage of budget. As a
Speaker 1: percentage of budget, the largest increase in spending was on cigarettes,
Speaker 1: which if you're in prison, you know people with those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what happened. There was a few things that happened.
Speaker 1: One the one positive they said is there was more
Speaker 1: house housing security, but it's very marginal, right, so people
Speaker 1: were less likely to default on the rent, maybe get
Speaker 1: a victim, okay, But after that it was nothing but bad.
Speaker 1: Here's the net effect, and it was wholly predictable. Basically,
Speaker 1: what happened is, well, people who were working first full time, right,
Speaker 1: who were out there busting their ass working full time,
Speaker 1: put in the hours, just trying to scrape by living
Speaker 1: in California, which ungodly expensive. It really didn't have a
Speaker 1: ton of impact on them, although they did get more cigarettes.
Speaker 1: But the majority of the households it had a double
Speaker 1: digit labor market participation rate deficit, so thirteen percent thirteen
Speaker 1: percentage points, and it mostly impacted homes where people we're
Speaker 1: part time workers, So people who weren't even out there
Speaker 1: having a full job actually worked less and as a result,
Speaker 1: their net monthly income dropped on average three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Think about that, You've just been given five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: additional and you're you're bringing in less money still.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're going to just stop working.
Speaker 1: Because they stopped working you're absolutely right. They said, why
Speaker 1: am I going to this crappy job? Even if it's
Speaker 1: for thirty hours a week, Chances are probably not a
Speaker 1: good job when you're doing it because it's entry level
Speaker 1: and you're just like, what they're giving me five hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: why should I show it for work? And so you
Speaker 1: had people that just dipped out, and then that'splayed the
Speaker 1: average because not everyone did, but enough did that it
Speaker 1: saw labor participation drop thirteen percent. Well what the hell
Speaker 1: we're sitting here and we're having all these conversations about, well,
Speaker 1: we don't have enough Americans to do these jobs and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Well maybe we do, but maybe you've
Speaker 1: incentivize them not to work, which is the damn predictable
Speaker 1: thing that we talked about. And again, it didn't impact everybody,
Speaker 1: And good on those folks who looked at that opportunity
Speaker 1: and said, I'm gonna get five hundred additional dollars, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep busting my ass. Maybe I'll take on some more,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll actually invest in something or you know, maybe
Speaker 1: buy a home or whatever. But I'm gonna this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a net positive for me. But the idea
Speaker 1: that you'd get an extra five hundred dollars coming in
Speaker 1: and then you would work eight hundred dollars less, essentially,
Speaker 1: which in California is not as big of a number
Speaker 1: if you think about it, considering the minimum wage out
Speaker 1: there's what twenty five dollars. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: call that a success. And they're running around like does
Speaker 1: a success? This was just published by the National Bureau
Speaker 1: of Economic Research, which is out of Harvard. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I did all these studies. That's that's human nature. Though.
Speaker 1: This is what we talk about here on the show.
Speaker 1: If you're a politician and you never process human nature.
Speaker 1: It's like Barack Obama when he adjusted, he actually screwed
Speaker 1: me on this. Initially, when Barack Obama first adjusted what
Speaker 1: it means to be a part time employee, I was
Speaker 1: still thirty eight and a half hours for thirty nine
Speaker 1: hours for whatever reason they wanted thirty eight and a half.
Speaker 1: It was just in the very first part of it.
Speaker 1: But when he was talking about by Obamacare, I had transitioned.
Speaker 1: But had I still been in that role and not
Speaker 1: a full time employee by then, what would have happened
Speaker 1: is what happened to the other part time employees where
Speaker 1: they now work twenty nine hours a week, and Barack
Speaker 1: Obama go up there and you'd be like, Oh, they're
Speaker 1: so evil, they're just evil. Well, no, you just reset
Speaker 1: what is a process that they're using right now. We
Speaker 1: can debate whether you know, having that many part time
Speaker 1: employees is a good corporate thing to do, and whether
Speaker 1: it makes them a good corporate thing, but that's in
Speaker 1: so so many instances that's part of the process. And
Speaker 1: so you literally rob those people of ten hours where
Speaker 1: they wanted to work. I would have been I would
Speaker 1: have been I was gnashing the teeth at thirty eight
Speaker 1: for that little because when I first came to iHeart,
Speaker 1: it was part time for just a little while, having
Speaker 1: left a full time because I wanted to move up
Speaker 1: a market. We're up quite a few markets actually, So yeah,
Speaker 1: people didn't work. Well, it shocker. Give the money to
Speaker 1: Ross and I. We'll do these studies for you. We
Speaker 1: won't actually do anything because they're obvious, but we'll tell
Speaker 1: you what it would be. We got you, We got
Speaker 1: you on this, and we're not delusional, we're not insane,
Speaker 1: We're not like, did you see the Democrats holding the
Speaker 1: memorial services for January sixth yesterday. These people are unbearable
Speaker 1: both at the cat I mean politicians. Here's Skeem Jeffries,
Speaker 1: and what you can't see in this thing is Sakeem
Speaker 1: Jeffries when he says this thing, which is going to
Speaker 1: drive you mad if you're a logical, rational person, what
Speaker 1: would the extra screw you? Cherry on top is Chuck
Speaker 1: Schumer standing kind of in that little gaggle there, and
Speaker 1: when he says it, Schumer bows his head in prayer. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's vomiting.
Speaker 4: January sixth, two thousand and twenty one is a day
Speaker 4: that will forever live in infamy.
Speaker 1: F you a thousand times over. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: You wouldn't vote Pearl Harbor. You invoke Japanese FAFO day.
Speaker 1: Screw you. No, it's a day that'll live an infamy. No,
Speaker 1: you don't get to do that. And of course you
Speaker 1: have Jefferys doing it, Pelosi was doing it. Schumer did
Speaker 1: his own thing. I'm not going to play all their audio. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the idiots in the media, like Sonny Hostin, houstin whatever
Speaker 1: over at the view, I mean, listen to this garbage.
Speaker 1: She was spewing yesterday.
Speaker 12: I think we need to find moral clarity, you know,
Speaker 12: in this country. And I just remember after January sixth,
Speaker 12: you had someone like Mitch McConnell placing the blame on
Speaker 12: January sixth, where it belonged squarely on Donald Trump's shoulders,
Speaker 12: and then you started seeing people backtrack that and losing
Speaker 12: their moral center. You had country or or.
Speaker 1: You said, people going, hey, why don't I listen to
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump said and read what he tweeted, and
Speaker 1: they went, I don't think that's you. You guys are lying.
Speaker 1: I think maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 12: Slesa Rice, I believe on this very show saying you know,
Speaker 12: we need to move on from January sixth.
Speaker 1: I say, whether they saw that letter signed by the
Speaker 1: mayor of Washington, d C. Telling the Trump administration, who
Speaker 1: had offered National Guard troops that they didn't want them.
Speaker 1: They didn't want anything from you, Cheeto'lini and Belosi following suit,
Speaker 1: because they themselves were the two mechanisms for making that happen.
Speaker 12: Yeah, people saw that, No, you don't move on because
Speaker 12: January sixth was an atrocity. It was one of the
Speaker 12: worst moments.
Speaker 4: In American history SEELDS platinum.
Speaker 12: When you think about the worst moments in American history,
Speaker 12: you know, like things that happened like the Holocaust, chattel slavery, and.
Speaker 1: I mean this and it's crazy. How is the Holocaust
Speaker 1: the worst thing in American history? I understand that there's
Speaker 1: American I mean, obviously we're part of the story of
Speaker 1: World War two, but holy crap, man, Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just on and on. Oh look at a clode. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: raced ag. I scare everybody, but you only have forty
Speaker 1: five seconds to do it.
Speaker 10: So, but as the rest of the week would be
Speaker 10: cold till about Friday, timing and how much still in question,
Speaker 10: So we've got a few days to talk about it.
Speaker 10: Plenty of sun until then, upper thirties, low forties during
Speaker 10: the day, a little bit twenties at night. Some may
Speaker 10: sneak into teams, especially the further west you go. And
Speaker 10: as we get into Friday, probably second part of the
Speaker 10: day into Friday night, we'll start seeing that chance for
Speaker 10: wintery priests. But it does look like accumulating snow for
Speaker 10: many many of us, and it does look like it
Speaker 10: will stick because depatures in the ground are going to
Speaker 10: be cold, and we do have an opportunity for several inches,
Speaker 10: especially from the triad at west, even at a triangle.
Speaker 10: I think some stow will see how much mixing we get.
Speaker 10: Much more on that tomorrow and the rest of the week.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: come back with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on, Good morning.
Speaker 13: Casey stocks started the week with a mixed session. The
Speaker 13: ADAO was slightly lower yesterday. The other major indices were higher.
Speaker 13: Right now, the futures are higher across the board. S
Speaker 13: and P futures up fourteen. The Nasdaq futures are up
Speaker 13: twenty two. The Dow futures are up one hundred twenty
Speaker 13: two points. We saw Fubo shares jumping more than two
Speaker 13: hundred and fifty percent yesterday. Walt Disney announced its Hulu
Speaker 13: Plus live TV streaming service will be merged with Fubo TV.
Speaker 13: The Consumer Financial Protection Board has announced new rules to
Speaker 13: help people who incur medical debt. Most unpaid medical bills
Speaker 13: will not appear on credit reports, and that means consumers
Speaker 13: with otherwise good credit records will not see their credit
Speaker 13: ratings suffered a suffering because of doctors' bills. No wonder
Speaker 13: how hunters have so few homes to choose from. In
Speaker 13: some markets, Redfinn commissioned a survey of homeowners and more
Speaker 13: than a third of them said they will never sell
Speaker 13: their home. More than a quarter of the respondents said
Speaker 13: they intend to stay put for at least ten years.
Speaker 13: Used luxury watches are on sale for anyone who happens
Speaker 13: to be in the market. Bloomberg's subdial watch Indecks tracks
Speaker 13: the prices of time pieces from Rolex Patek Philippe and
Speaker 13: other watchmakers fifty models in all, and prices fell last
Speaker 13: year to the lowest level in three years. In case
Speaker 13: technology has come to the backyards of bird watchers, companies
Speaker 13: like bird Buddy and Birdfi will be showing off their
Speaker 13: latest camera equipped bird feeders at the Consumer Electronics Show.
Speaker 13: These feeders create photos that can be downloaded and shared
Speaker 13: with other enthusiasts through social media.
Speaker 1: Jeff I got an email pitch from your employer yesterday
Speaker 1: saying that Bloomberg's now offering entertainment minutes. Are you aware
Speaker 1: of this?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: I am? Are you? Is there a possibility you could
Speaker 1: be doing like oscar breakdowns for us? Well?
Speaker 2: It won't be me, my colleague.
Speaker 1: No, no, it's it no't me, one.
Speaker 13: Of my colleagues will be doing them.
Speaker 1: We wanted you telling us what happened to the Golden
Speaker 1: Globes or Ross, and I don't have to watch.
Speaker 2: It, so all right, And I was so excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, okay, we'll try harder next time. Thanks, Jeff,
Speaker 1: all right, take care. Oh dude, I told Ross about that.
Speaker 1: I didn't even have to finish explaining it to him.
Speaker 1: It's like, yes, yes, yeah, we'll go ahead do that. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's sad. It's somebody else, Jeff doing a dress rundown.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not picking on Jeff. I just
Speaker 1: it's the whole consummate news guy and then the entertainment side.
Speaker 6: That's all
