Speaker 1: Oh it is just Tuesday. Can we get through this
Speaker 1: week fast enough? Coming up on the show?
Speaker 2: Do do do? Do? Do that? Done?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, okay, all right, I want.
Speaker 1: To make sure I have the most accurate information here, dude.
Speaker 1: I had the craziest conversation yesterday, and I uh like
Speaker 1: half of the conversation was just me talking to this individual,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what I can say on the radio.
Speaker 2: So as not.
Speaker 1: To promote the behavior but also highlight who this individual maybe. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be secretive in any sense other
Speaker 1: than I don't want to stop the flow of information. Okay, right, So, uh,
Speaker 1: I talked to somebody I have known for a very
Speaker 1: long time, literally wrote notes here, hang on.
Speaker 2: My little phone thing here, all.
Speaker 1: Right, talk to somebody who I have known a very
Speaker 1: long time, somebody who is who I trust, somebody who
Speaker 1: I don't want to get in trouble. But it was
Speaker 1: just a very fascinating point. And I have not even
Speaker 1: told Ross this.
Speaker 2: Yet because we're talking about other stuff this morning.
Speaker 3: So there are.
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I'm gonna write I
Speaker 1: wrote this in a very specific way.
Speaker 2: Because I'm like that has to be on the air.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
Speaker 1: There are folks who work for the federal government now
Speaker 1: who have worked for them for a while, who are
Speaker 1: dealing with.
Speaker 2: You're out what the terminology is here. So I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to be so cryptic.
Speaker 1: I just want to be abundantly clear, but also to
Speaker 1: quote unquote protect a source. And then you can choose
Speaker 1: to believe this or not. But it actually makes sense
Speaker 1: when you think about it.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
Speaker 1: So this is somebody who works for one of the
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement agencies who works in the cyber crime stuff,
Speaker 1: and we'll leave it as generic as.
Speaker 2: That, who.
Speaker 1: Basically one of the things that they have not had
Speaker 1: to deal with and now they're having to deal with
Speaker 1: is moonbats. Right, So these are the key to cyber
Speaker 1: truck people who are attempting to manipulate AI for political purposes,
Speaker 1: up to and including trying to train AI to call
Speaker 1: for the ouster or worse of people like Elon Musk
Speaker 1: or Donald Trump or Republicans or any of the rest.
Speaker 1: And it was a fascinating conversation I had yesterday. But basically,
Speaker 1: do you remember you remember the MS or excuse me, MSNBC,
Speaker 1: Do you remember the Microsoft AI bought from years ago.
Speaker 1: We've talked about it on the show frequently, so back
Speaker 1: in the day, and by back in the day, I
Speaker 1: mean like six seven, eight years ago. Microsoft created an
Speaker 1: AI bought essentially an AI personality that they went and
Speaker 1: put on Twitter, okay, and they put it on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and the way that it educated itself is through a
Speaker 1: hashtag or no excuse me, it was a prompt of
Speaker 1: some sort, but hashtag or an AT and they just
Speaker 1: wanted to see and it was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: quote unquote female AI and then they put it on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to see, all right, So it's
Speaker 1: on Twitter. It educates itself, and the way that it
Speaker 1: adds information is and people figured this out was through
Speaker 1: an AT prompt and a hashtag. So if you added
Speaker 1: this things whatever its handle was and I don't remember,
Speaker 1: and you hashtagged a certain thing, it was trained to
Speaker 1: use that combination there and then whatever you said as
Speaker 1: a training tool to be conversational.
Speaker 2: And what happened.
Speaker 1: What happened was Reddit or four chan or you know,
Speaker 1: somebody who out for a good time. And the lolls
Speaker 1: figured this out and then they spent the day training it.
Speaker 1: So they would they would they would create a message
Speaker 1: that was like normal conversation, like, hey at Microsoft, you
Speaker 1: know AI bought Hitler had a lot of good ideas,
Speaker 1: and then they would do this over and over again.
Speaker 1: And what happened was, within like half of a day,
Speaker 1: this thing was like racist af and we we've talked
Speaker 1: about this on the show, so and it was. And
Speaker 1: then they left it up, which was crazy. It was
Speaker 1: up for like sixteen hours or something, but within a
Speaker 1: few hours it was like the Holocaust didn't happen. Hitler
Speaker 1: had some good ideas, you're an N word. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just it was an absolute dumpster fire. And
Speaker 1: then uh and and apparently nobody at Microsoft could like
Speaker 1: go kick the cord out of the wall or whatever.
Speaker 2: And you know we talked about on the show that
Speaker 2: being said, now you have AI. Now you have all
Speaker 2: the different versions out there.
Speaker 1: So in addition to blocking traffic and screaming at town
Speaker 1: halls and trying to figure stuff out, Uh, one of
Speaker 1: the things that is going on right now are these
Speaker 1: learning attacks. And I just want to be clear, I'm
Speaker 1: not a cybersecurity personnel, so like I had to ask
Speaker 1: the question, like explain it to me. Again, like I'm three,
Speaker 1: you have literal political bodies, animals, people who are protesters
Speaker 1: who are now not just you know, singing all the
Speaker 1: music that we've loved.
Speaker 2: It's good stuffed. My orders are no shoot them.
Speaker 1: The wear day, no no stop all right, it's too
Speaker 1: early for executions anyway.
Speaker 2: So not just that, but.
Speaker 1: They are they are seeing people attempt to figure out
Speaker 1: how to manipulate AI out excuse me, algorithms, and it's
Speaker 1: for political purposes, but also for very nefarious purposes. Dude,
Speaker 1: this was a fascinating conversation. But then I thought about it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that actually doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 1: And and and you're not just it's not just a
Speaker 1: discussion about like foreign entities, Like I actually get that,
Speaker 1: but you have people on the left who are mass
Speaker 1: attacking and attempting to manipulate and and and just understand,
Speaker 1: I don't tend to know all the details, but it
Speaker 1: actually makes sense to me. And I will tell you.
Speaker 1: My source is somebody who I know very well and
Speaker 1: have known very well for probably twenty years in their
Speaker 1: particular job that is sitting there and part of their
Speaker 1: gig now is trying to figure out how political organizations
Speaker 1: are attempting to manipulate AI, specifically grock chat, GTP and
Speaker 1: other US based things, and for very nefarious purposes. And
Speaker 1: this is something that they work on in their federal
Speaker 1: law enforcement capacity, even though they've you know, they've been
Speaker 1: a digital person, but not really. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: be cryptic here. I'm just trying to abide by the
Speaker 1: very specific parameters yesterday of this con station. But when
Speaker 1: you think about it, I'm not surprised. I said, We've
Speaker 1: had the discussion here on the show, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, who, AI is more important than people realize.
Speaker 1: And I think now people are getting it. But when
Speaker 1: you're going when AI is eventually going to be probably
Speaker 1: menial jobs, but are really important things like training mechanisms,
Speaker 1: perhaps even parameters on figuring out what is or isn't
Speaker 1: legal for people who may have to talk to you know,
Speaker 1: in the past, they might they might query somebody within
Speaker 1: the legal department for what they're doing. You have very
Speaker 1: organized groups and individuals who are at tempting to manipulate
Speaker 1: what is now the training and the output.
Speaker 2: Of various AI.
Speaker 1: Tasks and or you know, things that fall in there.
Speaker 1: It's really nefarious stuff and I did not realize, but
Speaker 1: this individual literally from a management perspective, this is now
Speaker 1: their gig, attempting to monitor people at groups, organizations, political organizations,
Speaker 1: moonbats in general, and even people on the right who
Speaker 1: are attempting to now manipulate AI for the purpose of
Speaker 1: winning political arguments or things that are more nefarious. Absolutely
Speaker 1: blew my mind yesterday, And it all makes sense when
Speaker 1: you think about it. I'm trying to get an interview
Speaker 1: from somebody in there so I can be less cryptic.
Speaker 1: But it makes sense because you know, AI has fast
Speaker 1: become a fill in for people actually attempting to digest
Speaker 1: and understand information ross How many times have you been
Speaker 1: on Twitter now where instead of somebody literally reading what's
Speaker 1: going on, they just ask Rock and then they repost
Speaker 1: the answer or twenty two people do it and then
Speaker 1: it's in a thread there and you realize that they
Speaker 1: never really read or attempted to understand what the point is.
Speaker 2: They just take Rock's word for it.
Speaker 3: No, it happens all the time, and I see this
Speaker 3: now before you still have these burner accounts right like
Speaker 3: these yes or these like farming. You see the video
Speaker 3: of these like farming areas in China where it's like
Speaker 3: just people in front of these all these phones, right,
Speaker 3: and they're just be running all these different accounts. I
Speaker 3: just assume now that the opposition is using AI on
Speaker 3: these fake accounts. Yeah, this person where you'd be like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're a bot, but you're sort of run by a person.
Speaker 3: Now it's going to be like AI driven.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, so there's AI, but there is clearly
Speaker 1: a motivated human individual and they are tempting to And like,
Speaker 1: I guess I kind of get it, do you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like I understand, because again, nothing's off
Speaker 1: limits if you think that you're the hero in the story.
Speaker 1: And we keep seeing this, you know, out of carb
Speaker 1: swastika and this Jewish guy is truck.
Speaker 3: I just kind of assumed this was happening, Like I don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally did as well. And uh, like I
Speaker 1: got a deep dive on this. And this is somebody
Speaker 1: who works in a federal law enforcement agency who I
Speaker 1: have known for decades, who this is now part of
Speaker 1: their job and they say that And it's not just
Speaker 1: like political moonbats in the US. It's China, it's Russia,
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, Eastern European hackers all the rest,
Speaker 1: like the new there's a whole new game now in
Speaker 1: attempting to and I understand it, to attempt to manipulate AI,
Speaker 1: trusting on the fact that a lot of people, instead
Speaker 1: of doing research or attempting to understand things, are just
Speaker 1: going to go, hey, you know, and then insert whatever the.
Speaker 2: AII is, Uh, what's this mean? What's going on here?
Speaker 1: And and now now they have to sit there and
Speaker 1: monitor then.
Speaker 2: That's it's kind of terrifying actually.
Speaker 1: Even though even though manipulating the information is not new
Speaker 1: like we've seen, we've seen influenced groups that have attempted
Speaker 1: to and to some extent or have been successful to
Speaker 1: manipulate like Wikipedia.
Speaker 2: And different sources like that.
Speaker 3: Because the way AI runs right now, it's not real
Speaker 3: AI because it runs off prompts, so it can't come up.
Speaker 3: Because I had a whole conversation with Rock about this,
Speaker 3: because it's very curious, it was, and I was like
Speaker 3: Rock one two or three, uh whatever, the latest one
Speaker 3: is three, three, you know, and the thing was explaining
Speaker 3: to you and I like started off with basic questions,
Speaker 3: just curious how an answer like what are you? Where
Speaker 3: are you physically? Where are you? Where are you made of?
Speaker 3: How many people programmed?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 3: Can?
Speaker 2: You kid? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like you know, do you come up with
Speaker 3: questions by yourself? And he's like, I'm actually like a
Speaker 3: tool and you have to give me prompts and from
Speaker 3: there I go through all the data. Well, the problem
Speaker 3: is what data is it being fed? Because that's that's
Speaker 3: what the that's the answers that comes up with. So
Speaker 3: you people that are just like searching, you're looking for groc,
Speaker 3: and if Groc is giving you information, you're gonna be like, well,
Speaker 3: there it is. It knows yeah, because it's been fed
Speaker 3: that information repeatedly, so it believes that's a true source.
Speaker 3: So that's a true answer to what you're looking for.
Speaker 1: So, according to the individual I talked to, their big
Speaker 1: concern is literally farms disinformation farm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just feeding it information.
Speaker 1: Feeding it, but feeding it information to manipulate whatever the
Speaker 1: source is. And now this is from a federal line.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you which division. I'm sorry again,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I tried to nibble around the edges here,
Speaker 1: so I wrote down what I can say. But specifically,
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement agencies have tasked people with monitoring where
Speaker 1: all this stuff is coming from and it's nightmare fuel,
Speaker 1: and it's it's avasard. China is really bad at this.
Speaker 1: You have Russia, you have Venezuela and Cuba who apparently
Speaker 1: do a lot of this. But what's more terrifying is
Speaker 1: the big thing now is leftists, although there is some
Speaker 1: right but primarily leftists disinformation groups that are attempting to
Speaker 1: manipulate AI during this training phase right here. And so
Speaker 1: it's like and they do it through bot farms. They
Speaker 1: do it through you know, in the same way that
Speaker 1: you'd have people show up to hold a sign. It's
Speaker 1: it's effective to go ahead and just have them online
Speaker 1: doing stuff too, in the same like every you're on
Speaker 1: Twitter and you just feel like you're dealing with a
Speaker 1: bunch of bots that are are are giving you sad arguments.
Speaker 1: Apparently it's more valuable to attempt to manipulate.
Speaker 2: A AAR like that.
Speaker 1: So you know, if you needed something else to be
Speaker 1: very very nervous about. And and and it's for two
Speaker 1: different reasons. One yeah, oh, oh, I'm sorry, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break, be right back again. This is
Speaker 1: I wrote down very specific things. And what's fascinating is
Speaker 1: and I'm actually going to contact somebody I know who's
Speaker 1: a he's a writer for The Blaze and and probably
Speaker 1: get them on this thing.
Speaker 2: But so, uh I So if you.
Speaker 1: Guys don't know I have, I got a lot of
Speaker 1: law enforcement family uh in you know, sheriffs, US marshals.
Speaker 2: The whole, the whole group.
Speaker 1: I have or had family members who worked in Yellowstone
Speaker 1: as literally the chief chief law enforcement officer, my uncle
Speaker 1: who's no longer there. But so with that in mind,
Speaker 1: I know some federal officers and yesterday I talked to
Speaker 1: one of them who works what Ross's favorite term, duly
Speaker 1: appointed works in works for two different offices in the
Speaker 1: capacity of what they do, and we had a fascinating
Speaker 1: conversation about how he and others are now turning their
Speaker 1: attention to groups not just outside the US, which is
Speaker 1: a whole thing. Their focus is groups in the US
Speaker 1: who are attempting to manipulate algorithms in AI, which I
Speaker 1: was like, tell me more and so, and then through it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, can.
Speaker 2: I say that on the radio?
Speaker 1: So I have a very specific list here, and it's
Speaker 1: it's like I understand it from a strategy standpoint, but
Speaker 1: it's really It's one of these the ends justify the means,
Speaker 1: so you'll do whatever you're going to do, and society
Speaker 1: and and what they're trying to accomplish be damned, which
Speaker 1: is why people think that they can stop their subaru,
Speaker 1: double park it with their child seats in it, and
Speaker 1: then get out and carve swastika in a tesla right
Speaker 1: or on a tesla. We talked about this yesterday, which
Speaker 1: by the way, that you know that whole thing with
Speaker 1: this dude who was you know, crying his eyes out
Speaker 1: like a little B word, he felt empowered to go ahead.
Speaker 3: And do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, once he got handcuffs on, he's like,
Speaker 1: oh this sucks.
Speaker 2: But like he overrode his.
Speaker 1: He overrode his job and his life as a parent
Speaker 1: right because he had he had two child seats in
Speaker 1: that subaru. And I think people are missing some of this.
Speaker 1: He in his mind felt it was worth committing a
Speaker 1: hate crime over continuing to be a per and somebody
Speaker 1: who raises his kids like that mentality over wrote it.
Speaker 1: And so they're looking at people who I So my
Speaker 1: theory is like Elon's telling these law enforcement agencies the
Speaker 1: people and I are attempting to manipulate how these ais
Speaker 1: learn for the purpose of political payoff. That's my theory
Speaker 1: on this, he said, frankly, he wouldn't tell me that.
Speaker 1: You know what what prompted He just said, So you
Speaker 1: have federal law enforcement officers who, now this is what
Speaker 1: they do. They're just trying to figure out how they're
Speaker 1: screwing with it. And like I expect China and Russia to.
Speaker 2: Screw with it.
Speaker 1: But the fact that you have ai manipulation by you know,
Speaker 1: Antifa style leftist groups, and now you have to have
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement officers who are just on this like
Speaker 1: they don't care about this tool and getting it right.
Speaker 1: They only care about it confirming that men should you know,
Speaker 1: be in women's sports or whatever it is. And I
Speaker 1: asked him, I said, is it is it moonbats from
Speaker 1: Portland right like the end to the Rose City Antifa people,
Speaker 1: or do you do you believe that it is more
Speaker 1: mainstream political candidates and organizations.
Speaker 2: And he wouldn't answer it.
Speaker 1: He said, We're looking at all different options, but I
Speaker 1: will tell you that is home it is. It is
Speaker 1: as home grown as it is from bad actors internationally.
Speaker 1: That is this is and I've said this on the
Speaker 1: radio speculatively, but now you know, I trust this individual
Speaker 1: enough that I feel that one I was right as
Speaker 1: I usually am, and Ross is because we're psychic, but
Speaker 1: like it's a whole new game man.
Speaker 2: And I said that it is.
Speaker 1: So important to get out ahead of AI right now
Speaker 1: because it will embed itself in just about everything that
Speaker 1: we do. And every day I'm getting more examples from
Speaker 1: the people who don't even read articles anymore. They just go, hey, Roc,
Speaker 1: tell me.
Speaker 2: What's up with this?
Speaker 1: I think Rock tells them, but Roc doesn't always tell them,
Speaker 1: or or chat GTP doesn't always tell them accurately.
Speaker 2: You know, we've done stories where.
Speaker 1: Like you know, you're like you ask an AI a
Speaker 1: question and you're like, uh, dear AI, that's not right here.
Speaker 2: This is what's more right, and then.
Speaker 1: It will apologize to you what Ross was just telling
Speaker 1: me something off the air where we had to correct Rock.
Speaker 1: And that's because we're in this learning stage. And so
Speaker 1: you have people, because the ends justify the means, that
Speaker 1: are willing to manipulate, destroy, and utilize these tools for
Speaker 1: their political purposes. And now you have folks within federal
Speaker 1: law enforcement that are trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: get a handle on it.
Speaker 2: And I.
Speaker 1: Told you not to be super right, but that's what
Speaker 1: we are here on this show, super right. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so somebody just send me an email. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is like this whole thing. Like I had a
Speaker 1: very long conversation with this individual because he actually called
Speaker 1: over something else, something family matters, and then we just
Speaker 1: hadn't talked in a while, and then I just went
Speaker 1: down a rabbit hole. All right, So listener, email asking
Speaker 1: AI to write code or a macro for a spreadsheet.
Speaker 2: You could be hacking yourself. Yes, absolutely, this is this.
Speaker 1: Is what people are concerned about and who's manipulating it.
Speaker 1: And again I just assumed it's China Rush, you know,
Speaker 1: some of his Eastern Europeans with the hacking, like Romania
Speaker 1: and Moldova, But it's it's happening just as much among
Speaker 1: Moonbat organizations.
Speaker 2: One of the one of the very popular slices of
Speaker 2: the pie is.
Speaker 1: Not you know, not necessarily just Antifa, but like these
Speaker 1: pro Hamas groups and and others. You know, you think
Speaker 1: of like we just talked yesterday about the the houthis
Speaker 1: right there. They're sitting there on the Arabian Peninsula, hanging
Speaker 1: out in Yemen, fire and spud guns at US ships,
Speaker 1: although a bunch of them aren't now because you don't
Speaker 1: do that or Donald Trump and golf clothes will come
Speaker 1: turn you to mist but like more organized versions of that,
Speaker 1: and these bad actors are willing to manipulate and this
Speaker 1: is this is what they're having to work on now.
Speaker 1: It's all the worst case scenario stuff we talked about. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: what is this? Uh, it used to be don't click
Speaker 1: on that, don't download attachments, spam checkers, firewalls. Now we
Speaker 1: have to protect ourselves from ourselves. Yes, absolutely absolutely. I
Speaker 1: came I came away from that conversation extremely uncomfortable yesterday,
Speaker 1: but not like all together surprised. I was more surprised
Speaker 1: that it's it's not just China and North Korea and
Speaker 1: the rest, but like you've you've had these essentially these
Speaker 1: uh you know, these far left groups, these communist groups
Speaker 1: that have embraced this stuff and now they're trying to
Speaker 1: manipulate it. Will they will they be successful? Well, look,
Speaker 1: everything's a learning curve right now. Elon Musk obviously is
Speaker 1: a very smart dude, and the rest of these cats
Speaker 1: that are working on it, whether they're political or not,
Speaker 1: are are smart guys. But I don't think anyone knows
Speaker 1: one hundred percent how this whole part of training AI
Speaker 1: is going to work out. And that's why you have
Speaker 1: things like what happened with Microsoft where they had this
Speaker 1: the the you know, the chat Buddy. The chat Buddy
Speaker 1: was a Twitter account who a bunch of you know,
Speaker 1: dudes on Reddit or four Chan within twelve hours, were
Speaker 1: able to figure out how to turn into you know,
Speaker 1: a combination of Hitler and David Duke, and they did
Speaker 1: it for lolls. They didn't do it because they were
Speaker 1: trying to you know, rule the political conversation. They just
Speaker 1: thought it was really funny if the Microsoft AI was
Speaker 1: like you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hitler had a lot of good ideas.
Speaker 1: They just thought it was funny. But that it's not funny.
Speaker 1: Who's working on it now. They want to control this,
Speaker 1: and like everything else with Musk, that's where most of
Speaker 1: the attention is because Grock's doing its own thing kind
Speaker 1: of versus the other ones and people on the left
Speaker 1: field that they have, you know, in the same way
Speaker 1: that they feel that they can control your speech to
Speaker 1: the point of getting you fired and making you say stuff.
Speaker 1: They feel that you can't have an AI that's not
Speaker 1: educated in the same way, so they're going to manipulate it.
Speaker 1: And I don't pretend to understand how you combat that.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent no offense to the individual I talked
Speaker 1: to yesterday. He's not a computer genius. He's just he's
Speaker 1: somebody who's good from a management standpoint, from a law
Speaker 1: enforcement capacity and kind of gets it.
Speaker 2: But not you know, he's not writing code.
Speaker 1: But now this is what they're having to deal with,
Speaker 1: and it's just ugly, man, Just one hundred percent ugly.
Speaker 1: All Right, Again, I don't mean to be cryptic, but
Speaker 1: I just want to share that info with you as
Speaker 1: we got things rolling this morning. All right, coming up
Speaker 1: on the show. The Daily Beast is garbage. I know
Speaker 1: you know that, but you know, throw another thing there,
Speaker 1: and uh, I like the new Deputy Press Secretary Ross.
Speaker 2: You like the new deputy press secretary at the White House.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's uh, I get behind that.
Speaker 1: I feel like they need to have him in once
Speaker 1: a week and then give him that actual title because
Speaker 1: I don't think that's his title. So if you don't
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about who I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: audio coming up next? Hang on, Oh no, now, I
Speaker 1: gotta verify this, sir, because that looks if that's real,
Speaker 1: If that's true, I'm on it. But whereas of course
Speaker 1: it's in Florida, why wouldn't it be all right? So
Speaker 1: somebody just send me this headline.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta verify it. Sorry, Sorry, I'm a
Speaker 1: little a little punchy this morning. Pitbull Male's family, you
Speaker 1: tried to put him in a sweater.
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know whose team I'm on here, because h like,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't mald the family that keeps you, but also
Speaker 1: you shouldn't put a pit bullet a sweater. Doesn't want
Speaker 1: that ros Do you ever put your cats in a
Speaker 1: sweater or some sort of outfit or you just let
Speaker 1: it be cats.
Speaker 2: I've never understood it yet.
Speaker 3: I don't get it. We we with the little two
Speaker 3: hours before Marky would put them like in the very beginning,
Speaker 3: in like a sweater or something in the winter because
Speaker 3: they're like this big in there. It's a but that
Speaker 3: was a temperature thing, yeah, and that would literally like
Speaker 3: the dog would literally be shivering in the winter. But yeah, no,
Speaker 3: the cats.
Speaker 2: Aren't going in no, yeah, no, no no.
Speaker 1: I used to my my hunting dog, my lab that
Speaker 1: I had, I had Knea preme little dog thing for
Speaker 1: when it went when because it was I was asking
Speaker 1: it to go in water in winter, right, Like, I
Speaker 1: get that, But you're in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker 2: You don't need to put your dog in a sweater.
Speaker 2: So if it muleds, you kind of get it. So
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm gonna at.
Speaker 3: That point, you're just antagonizing the dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I take the thing that always like you
Speaker 1: know those costumes where it has like the fake little
Speaker 1: eggs in the front they put dogs in so it
Speaker 1: looks like everyone's like, oh, look at it. Yeah no,
Speaker 1: I understand why it ate your baby.
Speaker 2: They had.
Speaker 1: They come with sweaters dogs dogs, except those creepy cat
Speaker 1: hairless cats. Those are the ones that don't Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't put your don't don't put them. I don't put
Speaker 1: your critters in in outfits or uh doggles or you
Speaker 1: ever see where they put the little the little shoes
Speaker 1: on dogs for the first time and they're walking around
Speaker 1: the house like this ain't right, Like so you did
Speaker 1: that to a pibble. But okay, all right.
Speaker 2: Good for you. People send me the weirdest stuff. I
Speaker 2: don't know, I'm a little this story just eyeballing it
Speaker 2: right here. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You may have been took, but it looks like there's
Speaker 1: local news on this, so I'll check that out here
Speaker 1: at the break. But also again, I'm be on team
Speaker 1: Pitbull here. Kind of had that coming. All right, let
Speaker 1: me let me hit you with just a couple of
Speaker 1: things real quick. So I mentioned there's a yesterday a
Speaker 1: not a real deputy communications director at the White House.
Speaker 1: But let's just say that the White House Press briefing
Speaker 1: yesterday was it was interesting. A few things going on,
Speaker 1: not the least of which is this dude in a
Speaker 1: suit up there at the podium at the White House.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a guy by the name of Connor McGregor.
Speaker 1: You probably heard of him, Little mma action there got
Speaker 1: some opinions. Not a big fan of bus windows. Connor
Speaker 1: McGregor at the White House talking about Ireland.
Speaker 5: Man, what is going on in Ireland is a travesty.
Speaker 5: Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability.
Speaker 5: You know, our money is being spent on overseas issues
Speaker 5: that has nothing to do with the Honist people, the
Speaker 5: illegal great and reckets is running ravas on on the country.
Speaker 5: There are rural towns in Ireland that has been over
Speaker 5: running one's sloop. Got have become a minority in wom sloop.
Speaker 5: So it's just Native addressed and the forty million Hotish Americans,
Speaker 5: as I said, need to hear this because if not,
Speaker 5: there will be no place to come home and visit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, I didn't realize there's forty million
Speaker 1: in Ireland now.
Speaker 2: I thought I always thought it was like twenty five
Speaker 2: or something. But good on that I won.
Speaker 1: I wonder too, what's gonna happen to Connor McGregor when
Speaker 1: he goes back to Ireland. They they, they they they're
Speaker 1: hooking people up for talking like McGregor is, but you know,
Speaker 1: maybe it's a little harder to put him in cuffs.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know what, I you know what I
Speaker 1: did notice about it. Not a single reporter talked out
Speaker 1: a turn when he was up there, so they're well,
Speaker 1: nobody's screaming dumb questions or anything.
Speaker 3: The best part about Connor, the two time champ, he's
Speaker 3: he's always calm and collected, you know, what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that is his thing. He's very He's known
Speaker 1: for his very subtle, uh behavior. You ever see the
Speaker 1: video of him like with Putin. You ever see the
Speaker 1: video of him with Putin back in the Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a video of him and he's taking like a you know,
Speaker 1: like a photo shoot with Putin out in the hallway,
Speaker 1: like he met him at the event and Connor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had m M A over in Moscow a
Speaker 2: few times.
Speaker 3: Connor stands in front of him and kind of like
Speaker 3: puts his arm around Putin and puts his fist up
Speaker 3: like hey, I'm gonna you know, I'm looking at the punch.
Speaker 3: As soon as he does that, like this Charity like
Speaker 3: separated him, was like, put your arm down. You're not
Speaker 3: gonna do like a we're fighting sort of motion, like
Speaker 3: it's not gonna happen. Yeah, And he instantly complied. He's
Speaker 3: like okay, yeah, oh well, I mean come on people.
Speaker 3: You know he's probably was near a window exactly.
Speaker 1: So egg prices come out for some reason on Mondays.
Speaker 1: Did not know this, uh and uh so I was
Speaker 1: reading yesterday, so third straight week that egg prices have
Speaker 1: fallen officially yesterday at the end of the day the
Speaker 1: number got reported there, so that's weird. I haven't really
Speaker 1: seen a lot of news stories on that. I guess
Speaker 1: they're probably busy with you know, other stuff, A lot
Speaker 1: of important stuff over there.
Speaker 2: Bike. Oh yeah, this right here? What a headline? All right?
Speaker 1: Let me read this to you do do do do do?
Speaker 1: Elon Musk says, Dosee team works one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: This is from Fortune. By the way, Elon Musk says
Speaker 1: his Doze team works one hundred and twenty hours a week.
Speaker 1: If they used all the remaining time for sleep, that
Speaker 1: wouldn't come close to eight hours a night.
Speaker 2: That's the story. That's the whole thing there.
Speaker 1: Man, they're concerned that Big Balls and his team are
Speaker 1: not getting enough sleep.
Speaker 2: Welcome to everybody. I don't know, ross.
Speaker 1: Do you get the how many do you get the perfect?
Speaker 1: I understand it's important, But do you get like eight
Speaker 1: hours of sleep every day?
Speaker 3: I don't know, man. I go to bed it. I
Speaker 3: try to go to bed at like nine thirty and
Speaker 3: a wake up around three thirty or four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you try to, but like things come up.
Speaker 3: Some days they have to wake up at two depending
Speaker 3: on how much production we have. But yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you try to do it.
Speaker 1: But also, why is fortune like this is the new
Speaker 1: thing with Trump and Elon? They're like they're workers, don't
Speaker 1: get enough sleep? Are you guys just out of things
Speaker 1: to accuse them of? For to be clear, there are
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty eight hours in a week, which
Speaker 1: means if Musk and his Doze employees are working one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty of them, only forty eight hours remaining
Speaker 1: for them to use everything else preparing and eating food,
Speaker 1: personal hygiene, not to mention free time for hobbies. Let
Speaker 1: me explain something to you, and I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: probably irritates some of you. And I'm speculating a little bit.
Speaker 1: I get the impression that the the Doze dudes, the
Speaker 1: young dudes, personal hygiene and other hobbies.
Speaker 2: Are not really their priority. They're I don't know.
Speaker 1: That they're on the spectrum, so to speak, but I
Speaker 1: I suspect that probably they are super focused on what
Speaker 1: they're doing here and are almost addicted to doing it.
Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying. It's not a negative thing,
Speaker 1: it's not a positive thing. It's just the reality of it.
Speaker 1: You got a bunch of you got a bunch of
Speaker 1: twenty something year old computer nerds. They're probably not you know,
Speaker 1: they probably don't have a big dating thing. This again,
Speaker 1: this is not meant to be negative. It's just the
Speaker 1: reality of it. They're probably they're probably each other's only friends,
Speaker 1: so to speak, primarily, and they just work together and
Speaker 1: this is what they do. Okay, And look, people, maybe
Speaker 1: you know somebody like that who you work with.
Speaker 2: This is what they do.
Speaker 1: So like, I don't understand why we're writing an article
Speaker 1: about this. Are you just out of other things to
Speaker 1: whine about? So now you're worried about the sleep habits of.
Speaker 3: These guys.
Speaker 1: Probably don't go out much, you know, just sit in
Speaker 1: a room with their laptops and their do.
Speaker 2: Do Dow Mountain dew fuel. Why is that so hard
Speaker 2: to say?
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're not having to do a lot
Speaker 1: of cooking? Is they just do what they're doing? Again,
Speaker 1: not a negative, not a positive.
Speaker 2: But what a weird story.
Speaker 1: Just for fun, let's assume you need to spend one
Speaker 1: hundred and twice you know what, Actually, I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not even gonna read this whole thing.
Speaker 2: Because just it's a.
Speaker 1: Whole article running like what if speculative sleep analysis. By
Speaker 1: the way, Trump doesn't sleep. I think you guys probably
Speaker 1: know this. He's the only president. And I've said this before.
Speaker 1: The one bad part about doing morning radio that afternoon
Speaker 1: talk radio, guys, it's they get and I'm jealous, is
Speaker 1: the ability to jip pressers. So you know, jipping is just, hey,
Speaker 1: the president's having a press conference, let's listen in and
Speaker 1: then you don't have to do anything for like twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: But unless the president's like in Europe or something, we
Speaker 1: don't really get to do that in the morning. And
Speaker 1: the thing with Donald Trump was during the first you know,
Speaker 1: during his first term, you get up, you start the show,
Speaker 1: and every morning we'd have to go, like, what did
Speaker 1: he tweet in the last like hour? Road get up
Speaker 1: at like four in the morning, start tweeting stuff.
Speaker 2: And it was amazing.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we that would be the whole show. And he's
Speaker 1: you know, he's damn near eighty. So you know, people
Speaker 1: are different. But no Fortune wrote this whole thing. Here
Speaker 1: are they getting enough sleep? We're very concerned. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: maybe that's a sign you're out of stuff to attack him,
Speaker 1: all right? Eight eight eight nine, three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four the phone number. Hopefully everyone survived the Saint
Speaker 1: Patrick's day. A couple of goofballs, specifically in Florida. Who
Speaker 1: made the list?
Speaker 2: All right? People are sending me all sorts of weird
Speaker 2: links this morning. Oh what is this?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what a great story. Oh hold on,
Speaker 1: here is this Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Of course it is.
Speaker 1: Oh man, hey, Ross, if you're gonna rob a convenience store,
Speaker 1: what would you what weapon would you go with? You
Speaker 1: had to pick, and let's say you can't use a gun.
Speaker 1: I want you to get creative here.
Speaker 3: I always believe the greatest weapon is the mind. Okay,
Speaker 3: but I understand, all right, explosive arrows, all right, he's
Speaker 3: going with rambo arrows, all right, that's one way.
Speaker 1: Police in Tennessee are looking for four people accused of
Speaker 1: robbing a convenience store using pythons.
Speaker 3: Did yeah, like like actual pythons or like Hull Cogan pythons, Like, no.
Speaker 2: Actual real deal.
Speaker 3: They tied together? Uh those are like super heavy snake chucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're ball pythons. So there's smaller pythons. They had
Speaker 1: two of them. They were not tied together. According to
Speaker 1: this Madison County Sheriff's Office posted surveillance video of the
Speaker 1: alleged robbery, which involved.
Speaker 2: Two men and two women at a sit go.
Speaker 1: Uh it was just last week. According to authorities. They
Speaker 1: were holding two ball pythons. Well, say, pythons are not poisonous, right,
Speaker 1: so if you're the clerk man up, bro, what are
Speaker 1: you doing?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They don't even like bite their victims, right, they
Speaker 3: strangle they can't, but they tend to like wrap around you, right,
Speaker 3: like strangle you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a.
Speaker 1: Slow thing, all right, So what do you hold on?
Speaker 1: What do you think they robbed the cit goo of
Speaker 1: This is great.
Speaker 3: Because it's not money vapes.
Speaker 2: Four hundred dollars worth of CBD vape oil. Yes, so
Speaker 2: kind of kind of like a CBD oil.
Speaker 1: Authority said they took four hundred dollars worth of CBD
Speaker 1: oil and left in a small gray four door sedan.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's noticeable because the trunk's broken, and so
Speaker 1: they have the like a bungee cord on the trunk,
Speaker 1: so every time it hits a bump, the trunk kind
Speaker 1: of pops up and down.
Speaker 2: That's great. Where they put the pythons, how do you
Speaker 2: get there.
Speaker 1: Oh there's video of this too. Well, the dude's not
Speaker 1: even holding the python in his face. I'm gonna send
Speaker 1: this to you, Ross, because you gotta see this.
Speaker 2: Like, I'm I'm really concerned about the clerk here.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, man, Like I think that you
Speaker 1: gotta get a man up, bro. I know there's four
Speaker 1: of them, so you're out numbered. But the clerk, because
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the video here are still framed from
Speaker 1: the video, he's quite a bit bigger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guy's holding and look how small.
Speaker 1: These snakes are. I just said, Ross had just sent
Speaker 1: it to you. Look at the screenshot of the the video.
Speaker 2: Here are you giving your money to that dude?
Speaker 1: I know he's got two of them, but the damn
Speaker 1: the snake looks like it's like two feet long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: If you want to rob someplace using a snake, you
Speaker 1: gotta go with something that even snake people know is
Speaker 1: not something you want to screw with. You gotta go
Speaker 1: with like, you know, cobra or something which obviously looks
Speaker 1: very specific. But like, I'm not terrified of that thing.
Speaker 1: And the dude's Indian too. I'm not pointing that out
Speaker 1: to be negative. I'm just pointing out, like if he's
Speaker 1: in in from India, a ball python should not worry
Speaker 1: him because like India is where a lot of the
Speaker 1: bad ones are. That's where you know, it's snak charmer
Speaker 1: territory there. You'll get it in a ball python. No, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he was in on it, but I have
Speaker 1: some questions. If you threaten me with that snake right there,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna I'll end up winning that situation.
Speaker 3: So I've watched it and that's come on, dude, Yeah,
Speaker 3: do you know what I'm saying? All your you can't
Speaker 3: come on. That's not even threatening dude.
Speaker 1: No, it's just kind of whole. He's like, it's we'll
Speaker 1: tweet it out. He's like holding this smaller bipie and
Speaker 1: he's on the phone. He's not even leaning over the counter.
Speaker 3: It's so tiny. He just puts it on the counter
Speaker 3: and it's like it's just like chilling, like you should.
Speaker 1: Want to pet it. And again I understand that I'm
Speaker 1: stereotyping here, but if that dude is literally from India,
Speaker 1: like that's a Tuesday, that's not even a Tuesday, Like
Speaker 1: you know, you got real deal snakes over there.
Speaker 2: Nobody's scared of all.
Speaker 3: They're not even I mean, you can have a snake
Speaker 3: like that and be like, you know, threatening with it.
Speaker 3: It's like all in your presentation. Like you can be
Speaker 3: like Jake the snake just holding in front of their
Speaker 3: face and staring at it like into their soul. You
Speaker 3: could maybe pull that off, but just to walk in
Speaker 3: and put it on the counter, it's all coiled up
Speaker 3: like it's taking a nap. Like, why are you giving
Speaker 3: away your stuff at the store.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I think they're in you know
Speaker 1: the sheets, you know the sheets that's up up near Capital.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it's on Green Road. I
Speaker 1: think it's kind of the sheets. You it's a little
Speaker 1: sketchy over there in the morning, remember this, Do you
Speaker 1: know the sketchy sheets north of the station there?
Speaker 3: You mean like a near durant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: One day.
Speaker 1: I was in there and a dude literally had a
Speaker 1: snake on his around his shoulders like a necklace and
Speaker 1: wasn't doing anything. He just walked into, you know, buy
Speaker 1: something and then walked out.
Speaker 3: And did you sureak and give away all your stuff.
Speaker 3: I feel like, oh, I have have my wallet.
Speaker 1: No, I was over by the back with the drinks,
Speaker 1: and the dude came out of the beer cave with
Speaker 1: the snake on which, by the way, it's not good
Speaker 1: for a snake because they're cold blood.
Speaker 3: And you shrieked to me, oh, and then all the
Speaker 3: what all your drink went over yourself and you were like,
Speaker 3: I didn't have a.
Speaker 2: Snake, What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1: And then he just paid for it and left. So
Speaker 1: he did not rob the place that I know of.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, man, this story is kind
Speaker 1: of sketch right here, like if you I'm not giving
Speaker 1: you the money, not with what's going on there. I
Speaker 1: got some questions, but no, clearly they're not tied together.
Speaker 1: So anyway, seven eighteen kco Day Radio program phone number
Speaker 1: eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four.
Speaker 1: All right, I said, we got a lot of audio
Speaker 1: to get to. We got a bunch of rollover from yesterday.
Speaker 1: There was more to the White House press briefing. Well
Speaker 1: that has to do with the Statue of Liberty, and
Speaker 1: I love this answer.
Speaker 2: So that's great, And.
Speaker 1: Today is supposed to be JFK file day. Can we
Speaker 1: have the Epstein files today too? Are we gonna do this?
Speaker 1: Are we just gonna pretend like we're not? Because I
Speaker 1: feel like we should. So we'll update you on that
Speaker 1: coming up. CaCO Day radio program weapon used to end
Speaker 1: protest in Serbia, sending quote peaceful crowds fleeing. Although I'm
Speaker 1: looking at some of the video, peaceful is a relative term.
Speaker 2: Is there not?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't see him actually hitting police with anything,
Speaker 1: but that's mostly because they're aims bad.
Speaker 2: So take it for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands of people to send it on Serbia's
Speaker 1: capital of Belgrade, to protest the death of fifteen people
Speaker 1: at a railway station.
Speaker 2: Not the police kill them.
Speaker 1: That like the station collapsed, probably because it's in Serbia.
Speaker 1: Oh exactly, They're just saying it basically was not maintained.
Speaker 3: Um.
Speaker 1: Daily demonstrations have started and again I'm sorry, I'm parsing
Speaker 1: this article with like two minutes of standing. Daily demonstrations
Speaker 1: have started in response to the tragedy, with many blaming
Speaker 1: it on government corruption. Well, I mean, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: they're probably legitimate beef there. Footage from the rally shows
Speaker 1: people standing during a fifteen minute moment of silence. Well
Speaker 1: that's more in a moment for the rail station victims
Speaker 1: before a sudden piercing, but for many inaudible sound triggers
Speaker 1: panic and a brief stampede. All right, so what I'm
Speaker 1: getting from this is it's a sonic weapon that causes
Speaker 1: ear pain, disorientation, panic, potentially some other stuff.
Speaker 2: This is the same thing the Navy has.
Speaker 1: It could literally here's the deal. It can cause people
Speaker 1: who are epileptic to have seizures. It can cause people
Speaker 1: to defecate themselves, it can cause people to throw up. Right, Like,
Speaker 1: it's pretty nasty, but it works.
Speaker 3: It's my poop lazer idea that you mocked like five
Speaker 3: years later.
Speaker 2: It's not a lie.
Speaker 3: I said it would be amazing. Like if you're in battling,
Speaker 3: you pointing at somebody and they pooped their paints.
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, these people sound like they have
Speaker 1: a legitimate beef, right, like they need a doge. They
Speaker 1: need a doge because somebody's stealing all the money. But
Speaker 1: so yes, Ross wants a poop lazer.
Speaker 3: Listen, if I was born into Elon Musks family with
Speaker 3: his privilege, I would be a billionaireight now, but I
Speaker 3: was born in Schenectady, and them's the breaks.
Speaker 1: Yes, Jasmine Crockett said, you just have to know somebody
Speaker 1: and then they give you a billion dollars.
Speaker 2: So and you would you would sink it all in
Speaker 2: poop lazer technology.
Speaker 1: Really nine months up there, remember we had like the
Speaker 1: astronauts have literally openly talked about the part where uh,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was like literally left them up there. Again,
Speaker 1: if we had a normal media, this would be a
Speaker 1: little scandalous, right because they didn't want Elon getting them
Speaker 1: out of there. And again, this is like, you can
Speaker 1: criticize Elon all that you want, I really don't care.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and do your thing, and we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the Mark Rover thing. If you don't know what
Speaker 1: that is hanging on, I'm gonna get to that here
Speaker 1: in just a moment, because I'm really disappointed.
Speaker 2: I actually I was a bit of a fan of this. Dude.
Speaker 1: If you don't know who that is, you will when
Speaker 1: I explain it to you. But like, if you don't know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of an open secret that the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Joe Biden make the decision. The Biden administration.
Speaker 1: They didn't want the optics of elons anything with elon
Speaker 1: going up and.
Speaker 2: Quote unquote rescuing these astronauts.
Speaker 1: And if you remember, the reason they were stuck up
Speaker 1: there is because the craft that they utilize to get
Speaker 1: up there. Once it got up into space, they're like,
Speaker 1: this thing's this thing's busted. Man, it was Boeing's it
Speaker 1: was Boeing's aircraft. And so they go the space station.
Speaker 1: They're just they're quote unquote stuck there. I know, I
Speaker 1: don't know why people are arguing this by the way,
Speaker 1: they were stuck there, all right.
Speaker 2: Space. Look, space is complicated. It just is what it is.
Speaker 1: And this craft was not in and and I don't
Speaker 1: know that they're sill haveing to figure out they're going
Speaker 1: to jettison this thing into space because it's it's a
Speaker 1: problem that it's busted and it's dock to the the
Speaker 1: ISS and and so finally they're gonna get rescued, I
Speaker 1: guess unless a judge like tells them they're not. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Ross, do you think they can get a
Speaker 1: judge's ruling and they'll have to turn around and go
Speaker 1: back to the assess that was the that was the
Speaker 1: the Babylon Be's headline. Yesterday I left like federal judge
Speaker 1: orders astronauts space Shuttle to.
Speaker 2: Turn around and take them back to the ISS. So
Speaker 2: the Dragon.
Speaker 1: Capsule, which is called Freedom, is set to re enter
Speaker 1: Earth later today. I guess it'll be about six o'clock Eastern,
Speaker 1: So hopefully everything goes well there.
Speaker 2: All right, you guys know who Mark Rover Ross? Do
Speaker 2: you know who Mark rober is?
Speaker 1: I don't put this in the stack, but I literally
Speaker 1: found on the rabbit hole yesterday this thing. You know
Speaker 1: who Mark rober is.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure the name is familiar.
Speaker 1: He's the guy who does He's got Sit with sixty.
Speaker 2: Million followers or something across platforms.
Speaker 1: He's the guy who does the science videos with the
Speaker 1: the porch pirate thing with the glitter bombs.
Speaker 3: Yes, I do know who that is.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know who that is? And he look I
Speaker 1: like the dude. I liked it, and I've never seen
Speaker 1: him be real political. He also does in some of
Speaker 1: my favorite videos is he does a series.
Speaker 2: Of squirrel optical.
Speaker 1: Obstacle courses and and and normally his videos are pretty good.
Speaker 1: Even the ones that are like yeah, are still pretty good.
Speaker 1: Like he's the guy who figured out the algorithm. He
Speaker 1: is an engineer, science engineer of some sort, and so
Speaker 1: he kind of nerds out on how they do these things.
Speaker 1: But I've been a sub I think he might have
Speaker 1: been one of the first channels I subscribed to on YouTube,
Speaker 1: because I'm not a subscriber really, and I've been entertained
Speaker 1: with just about everything he puts up there. Again, it's
Speaker 1: not political content. Really, I can't.
Speaker 2: I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I was trying to give an example. Now, there has
Speaker 1: been criticism over the years of the of the series
Speaker 1: having to do with the glitter bombs. So these are
Speaker 1: the porch pirate glitter bombs, and we've talked about this
Speaker 1: on the show, so if you don't know, basically, he
Speaker 1: did a whole series where they crafted these packages that
Speaker 1: look like you know, iPads or whatever, and they put
Speaker 1: them on a porch, but built into him is our
Speaker 1: cell phones, right, so they can get audio and they
Speaker 1: can track them. And then when people open them, and
Speaker 1: sometimes they open them cars, sometimes they open them at home,
Speaker 1: but they go and steal them, and then they open
Speaker 1: them and all of a sudden, there is like warning sirens.
Speaker 1: There's what sounds like police radio. There's part spray and
Speaker 1: there's glitter and and it you know, you see these
Speaker 1: porch pirates, these thieving pieces of crap whose car is
Speaker 1: now clevered and glitter and if you if you've never
Speaker 1: spilled glitter or had glitter somewhere, it's not easy to
Speaker 1: get rid of and so and then they did like
Speaker 1: iterations year after year after year, and I know there
Speaker 1: was some criticism because.
Speaker 2: There was they found out that.
Speaker 1: Some of the people in the in the glitter bomb
Speaker 1: videos may have been actors, although I don't know that
Speaker 1: they fully addressed it other than to say that they
Speaker 1: use voice actors to recreate stuff.
Speaker 2: But you know, it is what it is. That's not
Speaker 2: real important.
Speaker 1: However, yesterday Rover posted a video and it's it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: So in it they decided to test and I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get into the technical side of this. I
Speaker 1: know some of you guys want to nerd out, but
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a little bit of it because it's important.
Speaker 2: He put.
Speaker 1: He posted a video and the video was about testing
Speaker 1: UH the stopping ability of UH Tesla's and the video
Speaker 1: was at the end of the day, it was pretty
Speaker 1: negative about Tesla's uh, specifically Tesla's who failed this test.
Speaker 1: Now you have to understand what the test was. So
Speaker 1: the test was they literally created Looney Tunes video Looney
Speaker 1: Tunes walls. Right, do you know what I mean by that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Remember the Remember Wiley coyote would like paint the side
Speaker 1: of a like a mesa so it looked like something
Speaker 1: so that the road runner would run into it and
Speaker 1: knock itself out so he could eat it. Spoiler, he
Speaker 1: was not successful, Wiley was. It didn't work. That being said,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of questions about the methodology here
Speaker 1: and perhaps even and I just want to be clear,
Speaker 1: this is speculative a lot of it.
Speaker 2: But there are things that are not speculative.
Speaker 1: Specifically, the rover may or may not have been sponsored
Speaker 1: by a company that produces lightar, which is the competing
Speaker 1: technology to what Tesla's use. And I'm not up enough
Speaker 1: on Tesla's, but I try to digest this. So Tesla's
Speaker 1: have a variety of different things. Russ, in your vehicle,
Speaker 1: in the new vehicle you guys bought, does it have
Speaker 1: the auto stop or it has the sensors where it'll
Speaker 1: break for you?
Speaker 2: Is your guys, is new enough for that.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I know we've turned a lot of
Speaker 3: them off because the belts and whistles and things kind
Speaker 3: of an annoyed Lincoln with it, you know. Sure, it's
Speaker 3: like an autism trigger. So we turned a lot of
Speaker 3: that stuff off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I'm sure a lot of you guys
Speaker 1: have cars with it.
Speaker 2: The first car I ever had was what was it?
Speaker 1: It was BMW, I'm not and it had the auto
Speaker 1: stop and the Rosses point. I didn't even do it
Speaker 1: because Lincoln. It was a Lincoln issue. I did it
Speaker 1: because there's some things right, I'm just like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't need that. But you know, one of the things
Speaker 1: that was kind of weird getting used to was the
Speaker 1: auto break feature. But I will tell you on more
Speaker 1: than one occasion it did an auto break for me.
Speaker 1: But it put the sensor on, usually in like a
Speaker 1: freeway setting where cars Even though I saw it, it's
Speaker 1: still like, was you know, dinging at me? So like
Speaker 1: I get that. But with Tesla it's above and beyond that.
Speaker 1: So you have you have a few different versions because
Speaker 1: you have obviously you have autopilot, you have assist, you
Speaker 1: have all these different things, and the criticism is so they.
Speaker 2: Built a wall on a.
Speaker 1: On a highway or a track of some sort, and
Speaker 1: they made it so that it looked like the road.
Speaker 2: Right it was.
Speaker 1: It was mocked up and painted to look like a
Speaker 1: continuation of the road, which, by the way, I don't
Speaker 1: ross you ever you ever encountered a Looney Tunes wall
Speaker 1: in your driving career?
Speaker 3: In the middle of about it to say, this is
Speaker 3: really stupid, like the way you're describing it. So they're
Speaker 3: saying that the Tesla was fooled by the fake highway.
Speaker 3: But so right, you know, if you're ever driving your
Speaker 3: car in like Universal Studios in the back lot where
Speaker 3: they film movies and they have the giant paintings of
Speaker 3: the backgrounds, you might go in a tragic accident if
Speaker 3: you're in a Tesla. Yes that is what.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is a cartoon style.
Speaker 1: It was a foam wall too, so that they could
Speaker 1: drive through it, which Rover did.
Speaker 2: The problem was they're in the video.
Speaker 1: There is some despair, like with the with the quick
Speaker 1: cuts in the video he has. It looks like instead
Speaker 1: of a continuous video that there are versions. There are
Speaker 1: segments of the video in there where it's clearly two
Speaker 1: different attempts because you can see when he engages these
Speaker 1: self driving but assist tech either at.
Speaker 2: Forty or forty three.
Speaker 1: Again, this is really hard to describe on the radio
Speaker 1: like it looks, you know what it feels like. If
Speaker 1: you remember the dateline when they mocked up that Chevy
Speaker 1: to blow up, remember that whole thing, and it basically
Speaker 1: destroyed their brand, it's clear that there's two different It
Speaker 1: wasn't one attempt, even though it seemed to be represented
Speaker 1: as one attempt. And so at that point, Russ, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna send you the article here so you can check
Speaker 1: this out. And of course I'm gonna send you the
Speaker 1: Gaker version too, because it's just obscene and so so
Speaker 1: at that point people started questioning, well, what the hell's
Speaker 1: going on? And it looks a lot like although I
Speaker 1: don't know for sure, I saw Rover posted some other
Speaker 1: like response to this, and I want to give the
Speaker 1: guy benefit of the doubt, because here's the thing. I
Speaker 1: have never seen Mark Rover in any of his videos
Speaker 1: be political.
Speaker 2: I've never seen it. That being said, I'm.
Speaker 1: Having a hard time not not thinking that this is
Speaker 1: a bit of a setup, and I hate that even
Speaker 1: though the conditions and the things are weird. This is
Speaker 1: kind of the stuff that he does. But it's just
Speaker 1: like to pick Tesla at this moment and then create
Speaker 1: a situation where I don't feel you're being one hundred
Speaker 1: percent honest.
Speaker 2: Really like I hated.
Speaker 3: That well, especially because you mentioned the light Ar tie in,
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: That's the thing.
Speaker 1: Although it's I don't know whether so he has worked
Speaker 1: with this light our company, and I don't know whether
Speaker 1: they they're arguing whether they sponsored this video, but it
Speaker 1: sounds like he has taken money from them.
Speaker 3: Right, Lightar sort of like uses light to measure depth. Correct, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it would go, it would it would realize that there
Speaker 3: was something there because it would bounce back to measure it.
Speaker 3: Whereas I believe if Tesla uses the opposite, they must
Speaker 3: use well.
Speaker 1: No, no, so they use what's called FSD, which is
Speaker 1: full self driving, which is different than auto. All right,
Speaker 1: so there is full self driving and then they have
Speaker 1: which because again Tesla is especially this one that and
Speaker 1: by the way, this is like a Rover owns this Tesla,
Speaker 1: or at least he owns this kind of Tesla and
Speaker 1: it's a few years old, so he didn't use the
Speaker 1: updated software, and the light Ar company is literally on
Speaker 1: the cusp of going out of business and so and
Speaker 1: and they have taken really aggressive negative positions on on
Speaker 1: Mark Rover or excuse me, on Elon Musk, because Musk
Speaker 1: initially was going to go with lighter and then he didn't.
Speaker 1: They created their own thing, and so it feels a
Speaker 1: little revenge. All right, we'll get into more of this
Speaker 1: here in just a moment, because again it's pretty complicated.
Speaker 1: We're gonna I'm gonna give you the moonbattiest version of
Speaker 1: the article. Ross's gonna tweek that out while we chat
Speaker 1: with Ray Stagic from the Weather Channel, who doesn't need
Speaker 1: light ar, just dollars.
Speaker 2: He just does his thing. So that's it.
Speaker 3: I just do my thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll just yeah.
Speaker 3: I'll mentioned it quickly.
Speaker 6: Hurricane Center actually found an area of non tropical low
Speaker 6: pressure in the Central Atlantic. They put a ten percent
Speaker 6: chance of development on that, but it goes well east
Speaker 6: and out to sea. It's over the Central Atlantic, gan
Speaker 6: out to see right now. Case so I thought I
Speaker 6: mentioned it. I thought it was interesting and just a
Speaker 6: reminder we're heading toward that time of year already in
Speaker 6: severe weather season had some of that this weekend, but
Speaker 6: we're going to enjoy great weather next few days of
Speaker 6: the warming trend, the normal highs this time of year.
Speaker 6: Try it to the triangle about the load to mid sixties,
Speaker 6: sixty two to sixty four, sunshine, mid upper sixties today,
Speaker 6: mid upper seventies tomorrow, and even the overnight lows are
Speaker 6: gonna come up this morning, Chili out there at least
Speaker 6: a change from where we've been. And next shower chance Thursday.
Speaker 6: We don't see severe weather at this time, but some
Speaker 6: showers around. Then the sun will come back Friday again
Speaker 6: right around sixty degrees and then warming up over the weekend,
Speaker 6: so real nice. The next let's just say through Sunday.
Speaker 6: We've got one day, that's Thursday, where there's going to
Speaker 6: be a little wet weather around in the afternoon of
Speaker 6: the evening hours, but it's a quick mover. Other than that,
Speaker 6: dry and we'll start hearing the chatter again about the
Speaker 6: dangerous fire conditions if we're not hearing it already. But
Speaker 6: not much rain over the next seven days, some beautiful
Speaker 6: outdoor weather if that's your thing right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now they haven't shut up about that. They're all
Speaker 2: over the fire.
Speaker 6: No yeah, I didn't think. I think we haven't. It's
Speaker 6: become a bigger story. I mean Texas here in central
Speaker 6: part of the US, a lot of red flag warnings
Speaker 6: for fire danger.
Speaker 1: A lot of and I know we didn't mention it yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was a really deadly weekend from weather. If people
Speaker 1: don't know, it was what Mississippi, Kansas? Right, yeah, well
Speaker 1: number thirty two, thirty three people killed almost forty yeah
Speaker 1: is it almost?
Speaker 6: There are some of those fittalities. Yeah, we're from in
Speaker 6: Kansas from that dust storm. So that wasn't severe weather.
Speaker 6: There's like a big, massive pile.
Speaker 2: Up the visibility industry.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, and that's turned political, but I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get into it. And then we had two
Speaker 1: two young boys that died in North Carolina when a
Speaker 1: tree fell on their trailer.
Speaker 2: So, oh gosh, I didn't see that. That's terrible.
Speaker 3: It was it was. It was a deadly weekend.
Speaker 6: So right now, next seven days, no severe weather, so
Speaker 6: we're in good shape.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, thank you sir. Sorry I hit you
Speaker 1: late there. We were getting in there, all right. So
Speaker 1: we'll get more on the whole uh the Tesla, because
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Tesla that they ran in the video. Again,
Speaker 1: I I am, I am inclined to get benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt. I know people are very sensitive about the
Speaker 1: you know, everything having to do with Tesla, because again
Speaker 1: I've watched this dude for years, and I've never seen.
Speaker 2: Political stuff from him. Really.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you know, he's a global a little bit,
Speaker 1: He's mentioned that, but like for the most part, he
Speaker 1: just does science related stuff and it's entertaining, it's kind
Speaker 1: of fascinating. But this thing feels icky, if.
Speaker 2: I could use that word. So more on that in
Speaker 2: a moment.
Speaker 1: Hang on, you're sitting there, he's doing the Mark rober
Speaker 1: story and your city. You give him the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt. Yes, yeah, I do, because again I have
Speaker 1: followed this dude for for many, many years, and I
Speaker 1: watched all the videos, but I've watched like all of
Speaker 1: his stuff and I've not seen overt politicalization. So at
Speaker 1: this point I'm gonna just withhole judgment. Yes it looks,
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. It clearly to me, I'm convinced
Speaker 1: that when you watch the video sequence of him driving
Speaker 1: at the wall and think about the editing here, right,
Speaker 1: because it shots of outside the vehicles. He's driving towards
Speaker 1: the wall, and then shots inside the vehicle and then
Speaker 1: outside and inside right, because that's how you construct the scene.
Speaker 1: It clearly looks like they used footage from a couple
Speaker 1: different driving attempts.
Speaker 3: But I have.
Speaker 1: I've worked on TV shows before specific let me explain
Speaker 1: it to you. So, and some of you are not
Speaker 1: gonna like this. Some of you're gonna probably know this
Speaker 1: is a thing, but let me be straight with you. So,
Speaker 1: when I lived in Minneapolis, when I did the radio
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis before I had my own show, I was
Speaker 1: sidekick producer, I dude okay, and I worked with my
Speaker 1: buddy Chris and but to supplement and do other stuff.
Speaker 1: I also did TV, not on although I was in
Speaker 1: a couple of segments. I did voiceover writing and what's
Speaker 1: known as field or preemptive producer stuff. So, and I
Speaker 1: worked for shows that produced tourism, hunting and fishing stuff,
Speaker 1: and I got to do like I worked with the
Speaker 1: BBC to do a show called Fry Does America, and
Speaker 1: that was Stephen Fry. If you don't know who that
Speaker 1: is yet, you do if you see him and know him.
Speaker 1: He and Hugh Lourie were a comedy team, Hugh Laurie
Speaker 1: from a house and he's kind of like the Jay
Speaker 1: Leno and everything else over in the UK, and just
Speaker 1: a really nice guy. And so I did, Like, when
Speaker 1: they wanted to do a segment in Minneapolis of ice fishing,
Speaker 1: the tourism department literally handed that off to me and
Speaker 1: another guy and we did that. And then I did
Speaker 1: production for hunting and fishing shows like North American Hunter,
Speaker 1: North American Fishermen in Fishermen with the lenders and all.
Speaker 2: This stuff was going on in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: And so when you're producing video content and segment content
Speaker 1: for a hunting and fishing show, here's.
Speaker 2: How it works. Let me give you the hunting thing.
Speaker 1: So the way that it works from a hunting perspective
Speaker 1: is the first thing that you shoot is the shoot. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we get whoever the host is for the for
Speaker 1: these situations, and it you know, ran the gamut, and
Speaker 1: then we go and we you know, we we set
Speaker 1: it all up and then we do the video of
Speaker 1: the actual deer kill or elk or bear or whatever
Speaker 1: it was, and then we shoot everything else, including those
Speaker 1: scenes where the guys in the tree stand whispering, right,
Speaker 1: all right, so we got up here at six am,
Speaker 1: and we've seen a lot of you know, on the cameras,
Speaker 1: we've seen him coming through here, so we're really this.
Speaker 2: Ninety nine percent.
Speaker 1: Of that takes place post shoot, specifically the the harvesting
Speaker 1: of the animal. And in the fishing world, I was
Speaker 1: not a fan of this and only worked on one
Speaker 1: show that did it, and that is what is called rehook.
Speaker 1: All right, so guy, we go out, everybody catches a fish.
Speaker 1: I'm probably admitting to something that is a little bit
Speaker 1: of a I don't say it's a crime, but it's
Speaker 1: people would think that it is unethical. But I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna let you know it happens. Okay, So somebody reels
Speaker 1: in a fish. Everybody on the boat's fishing, right I'm
Speaker 1: on the boat, I'm fishing. Camera guy is fishing to
Speaker 1: some extent, and the hosts are fishing, and then whoever
Speaker 1: else is in there. And so if somebody gets a
Speaker 1: big fish and you reel it in and you see
Speaker 1: it down on the water, you let line out and
Speaker 1: then you hand the pole to the host and then
Speaker 1: the host is like, oh son, let me get this thing.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: This is what this is how you structure these things,
Speaker 1: so it's not surprising to me that they may have
Speaker 1: got in gotten into post production and when we need
Speaker 1: more cut scenes of the host driving at the wall,
Speaker 1: does that make sense to you, because it makes sense
Speaker 1: to me because I've been there, and you know, people go, well,
Speaker 1: that's unethical. Here's the thing. Mark Rover should not have
Speaker 1: done this segment. Now, that's what this boils down to.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have done this segment. Now, you guys and
Speaker 1: by the way, you guys have no idea the amount
Speaker 1: of stuff that you and I think you get some
Speaker 1: of it now, but like I don't know if you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of radio bits that are not real.
Speaker 1: We don't do them on this show. I just want
Speaker 1: to be abundantly clear. But a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: you may hear is not real or is a recreation,
Speaker 1: and it's mostly for legal purposes. So again, we don't
Speaker 1: do it on this show. We don't have to because
Speaker 1: of the type of format that we do. But ross
Speaker 1: without saying that, you know what I'm getting at.
Speaker 3: Right, just I don't want to get a studio. I
Speaker 3: know it's all fake. Yeah, there's some fake about it
Speaker 3: and in TV and also in radio. I mean it's
Speaker 3: just correct as a producer, like I look at things differently.
Speaker 1: You you look at and so from a video standpoint,
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that Mark Rover may have done
Speaker 1: those and then the whoever's his editor is like, now
Speaker 1: I need more b.
Speaker 3: Roll, especially yeah, especially if you're filming in a car
Speaker 3: like and it doesn't have to be something controversial, watch
Speaker 3: something old that we all love, like top Gear right direct,
Speaker 3: there's several takes. You just can't get it all one take,
Speaker 3: and sometimes you need to fill time.
Speaker 1: And it's not necessarily them being dishonest. The problem is
Speaker 1: you need to recognize when it's important enough that you
Speaker 1: shouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: And when you are you, when you have the.
Speaker 1: Impact that Rover has with sixty five million subscribers, at
Speaker 1: some point somebody should have went, we can't fudge any
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing is, I don't know how long
Speaker 3: the production time was on something like this, but the
Speaker 3: timing of it does seem very suss.
Speaker 2: Well and yes, yeah that is. Although you know some
Speaker 2: people would argue, well, look, you know, uh what what
Speaker 2: is a what is a good keyword to get clicks?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 1: Tesla's right, it's a Tesla's are a good keyword right now.
Speaker 1: And so if you're looking at it purely from a
Speaker 1: performance standpoint, so I'm not defending him, but I'm not
Speaker 1: indicting him. I'm just saying I haven't. I've never seen
Speaker 1: him do anything that I went, what a scoundrel, screw
Speaker 1: this guy? And and so I and and then I
Speaker 1: understand some capacity of how the sausage gets made. But
Speaker 1: you can't in this case if I had been there,
Speaker 1: and I'm serious about this, if I had, because there
Speaker 1: are things as a producer for these television segments where
Speaker 1: I went, we can't do that because it feels inherently dishonest.
Speaker 3: In fact, the entire experiment is stupid anyway, because the
Speaker 3: whole premise of it is just dumb.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with the with the past partnership with the
Speaker 1: light Ar company, who it's known that they have beef
Speaker 1: with Elon.
Speaker 3: I just I mean, when you drive your car to
Speaker 3: work or drive home, how many times do you run
Speaker 3: into a Looney Tunes type cave?
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean once a week maybe I don't know so,
Speaker 1: but you never you don't have a Looney Tunes cave on.
Speaker 2: The way home.
Speaker 3: All the time, and it's unfair because unlike the road Runner,
Speaker 3: I cannot run into the cave.
Speaker 2: Now, what if instead of just showing the road, it
Speaker 2: showed an olive garden up.
Speaker 3: No chance, you just keep hitting it. It's my extinction event.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so, look that's where That's where I am.
Speaker 1: I would just if there was a track record, I'd
Speaker 1: be all over this because I understand some of you
Speaker 1: are really irritated with the whole story because a bunch
Speaker 1: you sent this to me yesterday.
Speaker 2: But I'm giving you.
Speaker 1: My perspective, and my perspective is there's not a track
Speaker 1: record I'm aware of. Yeah, he had some people for
Speaker 1: the glitter bomb thing, but again, it's not a real
Speaker 1: that's not a real serious thing, and they were it
Speaker 1: looks like they were trying to recreate scenes. What I
Speaker 1: see here is bad judgment thus far, but I am
Speaker 1: more than willing to believe if something comes to light
Speaker 1: where it looks like he Because here's the deal. How
Speaker 1: many times have we seen under the Trump administration, both
Speaker 1: the first term and now people who normally weren't political,
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, the TDS took over, and
Speaker 1: you're like, why would you flush your credibility right now,
Speaker 1: Why would you even engage in this? There's no reason
Speaker 1: for you. And so he very well could have been
Speaker 1: a closet TDS dude, and this was his way of
Speaker 1: doing it. I'm fully willing to accept that, but I
Speaker 1: need to see more. So hopefully, hopefully that addresses it,
Speaker 1: and you know, do your own research, man, check it out,
Speaker 1: follow the story.
Speaker 2: We'll be following it.
Speaker 1: If there's an update, I'll give it to you. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, there we go. Wait, hold on Boston Paul
Speaker 1: to sent me an email. I overslept this. Whyever was that, sir?
Speaker 1: Why'd you because Boston Paul sends emails right when the
Speaker 1: show starts.
Speaker 3: So, uh, Boston Paul is like super religious. So, I
Speaker 3: mean yesterday was a religious you know, Saint Patrick. He's
Speaker 3: probably wore out from all the praying and stuff, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, He's worn out, so he was
Speaker 3: he was worshiping too, just praying all day? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: what else would it be?
Speaker 1: I mean he may have been on his knees, but
Speaker 1: in front of a toilet like I would buy that.
Speaker 2: So don't know. All right, Well, I'm glad, Uh glad,
Speaker 2: We're glad. We're good there, So.
Speaker 1: Show me your empties. Send me, uh, send me a
Speaker 1: picture your empties, and don't send it upside down. Boston
Speaker 1: Paul sends photos that are upside down for some reason.
Speaker 2: He doesn't know how to use it. So yeah, go
Speaker 2: ahead and get that over to me. All right.
Speaker 1: Let me jump back over to the the sound this morning.
Speaker 1: Hold on, get ridy of sneeze here.
Speaker 2: It's Mark Rogers by the way. Uh yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1: But it's like, but I would say this, just because
Speaker 1: you're one of the top producers doesn't mean they don't
Speaker 1: come for you. Look at all the stuff mister Beast
Speaker 1: was dealing with right there, you know, with contesting stuff
Speaker 1: and everything else. And I would only say that, look
Speaker 1: at the content that's being produced and then ask yourself
Speaker 1: if they're fudging it to misinform you or they're fudging
Speaker 1: it to more thoroughly entertain you, would.
Speaker 2: Be the way that I would evaluate that information. And
Speaker 2: I've I've particled. Let me i've full disclosure.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something I participated in because we
Speaker 1: thought it was hilarious. But it wasn't to impugne necessarily an.
Speaker 2: Elected official or a political position.
Speaker 1: It was for the lulls, and I'm less likely to
Speaker 1: do it now because I'm up to my ears, sick of.
Speaker 2: Up to my ears, sick of.
Speaker 1: The the overt monetization and falsehood that I see on
Speaker 1: social media now, where like the amount of fake accounts
Speaker 1: that I block on the regular I just don't care.
Speaker 1: Or people who are they're like, oh, we're a parody account,
Speaker 1: but they don't disclose it, and they're clearly doing it
Speaker 1: to get clicks and to engagement.
Speaker 2: Farm like that chick who makes the videos where she's.
Speaker 1: Like the one that keeps going around is like I
Speaker 1: am on welfare and my bmw M five I had, like,
Speaker 1: I can't put gas in it. Right, she's doing that
Speaker 1: to engage you, but she's not disclosing it, and I
Speaker 1: don't have time for that. But I did a radio
Speaker 1: bit one time with a buddy in Texas. So he
Speaker 1: hosted a radio show in Texas in one of the
Speaker 1: big cities there, and him and I were friends, and
Speaker 1: we thought it would be hilarious if we had we
Speaker 1: created a character who was flipping houses using homeless people, Right,
Speaker 1: you have to understand the context of this. So he
Speaker 1: would portray himself as a bleeding heart liberal and he
Speaker 1: runs a charity and the charity flips houses using free
Speaker 1: homeless labor. But we let them live in the house
Speaker 1: while we're flipping it. And obviously, if you're a listener,
Speaker 1: you're clearly like, this guy is violating labor laws and
Speaker 1: he's a big hypocrite, right, So we were doing it
Speaker 1: to be funny. And at the time, again, it wasn't
Speaker 1: attacking an individual or anything. It was just messing with
Speaker 1: people and it worked.
Speaker 2: It worked great.
Speaker 1: In fact, people literally call the Texas Labor Department to
Speaker 1: report us. So just like and so, but like the
Speaker 1: whole character would come on and he'd be like, no,
Speaker 1: I run a charity to help homeless people. And what
Speaker 1: I do is I buy houses and then I let
Speaker 1: the homeless people live in the house while they restore it,
Speaker 1: and then I sell it for profit. But I don't
Speaker 1: get many of the profit. I just move them over
Speaker 1: the next house, but they're getting free housing. And people
Speaker 1: lost their craft, dude, And it was just it was
Speaker 1: really funny. But again, it's all situational. I don't know
Speaker 1: that I would do that in certain circumstances, but at
Speaker 1: the time it was for the lulls. And now we're
Speaker 1: in a different place and you have to be much
Speaker 1: more cognizant of it. But you know, using free hobo
Speaker 1: labor to flip houses. I would buy them booze too,
Speaker 1: I think, is what I said. I'd buy them booze,
Speaker 1: then live with the house. People were outraged the whole thing.
Speaker 1: So I again, I'm gonna withhold judgment on this, but
Speaker 1: everyone is literally but when you're carving swastikas into Tesla's
Speaker 1: not the week to go ahead and release maybe something
Speaker 1: that it looks like a Tesla hit piece.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight nine, three four seven, eight seventy four.
Speaker 1: And that's because there's more than enough to be upset
Speaker 1: at this story. If we have not seen this story
Speaker 1: of these what these administrators and teachers did at this
Speaker 1: school district to essentially shame girls who didn't want to
Speaker 1: change in a locker room with a biological male. How
Speaker 1: this is not a sex crime, I don't know. And
Speaker 1: if you don't know the story, I'm going to get
Speaker 1: into it here in just a few minutes.
Speaker 7: Hello, my name is Nicole Georgis, and I'm here to
Speaker 7: demand that the locker rooms and bathrooms a district one
Speaker 7: or nine be designated as biological male and biological female,
Speaker 7: as they're already as a gender neutral option. The girls
Speaker 7: want their locker rooms and bathrooms back, they want their
Speaker 7: privacy back. This is why I'm here tonight, my thirteen
Speaker 7: year old daughter.
Speaker 2: All right, So hang on, So that's mom there.
Speaker 1: Wait till you hear the story that mom lays out,
Speaker 1: because this isn't just administrators going no, we're just gonna
Speaker 1: have these locker rooms. You're gonna have to deal with it.
Speaker 1: If I did this to teen girls, I should go
Speaker 1: to jail and and and should be on a list
Speaker 1: and should not be able to live near schools. And
Speaker 1: yet what they chose to do and what this mom's
Speaker 1: gonna complain about is absolutely mind blowing.
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that coming up.
Speaker 1: Also, West Virginia suing the NCAA, and u NC is involved,
Speaker 1: and Cunningham's involved, and I'll explain that insanity in a
Speaker 1: few minutes.
Speaker 2: So hang loose, all right, So what's the problem now?
Speaker 1: The babies are coming out all weird and skinny, probably
Speaker 1: so a new term o zempic babies. That's great, all right.
Speaker 1: So according to well, this is from the New York
Speaker 1: Post apparently all right, So it's not that they're okay.
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to understand this. Apparently the people
Speaker 1: who take ozemp we go V or whatever, there's two
Speaker 1: or three of these things. These medications have a sharply
Speaker 1: increased fertility rate. Well, it's not the drugs, it's that
Speaker 1: they're skinny and people want to hit it. I mean, again,
Speaker 1: pay us to do the analysis here. How are you
Speaker 1: wondering how this is happening? People are taking Ocempic and
Speaker 1: and you know, sitting in the bathroom probably for a
Speaker 1: very long time, and then they look in the mirror
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, look how hot I am.
Speaker 2: And then people you know, want to hook up.
Speaker 1: Dude, I could the amount of money I could save you.
Speaker 1: People on analysis like this is this is very and
Speaker 1: they're just like, we don't know what's happening. I just
Speaker 1: told you what's happening. People are feeling good about how
Speaker 1: they look, and they're like I should probably go, you know,
Speaker 1: be naked with somebody.
Speaker 2: This is not hard to solve.
Speaker 1: You don't even need ozempic for it. How do you
Speaker 1: feel if you just lose ten pounds or you're having
Speaker 1: a skinny day there, don't you like?
Speaker 3: This is.
Speaker 2: Very simple stuff. All right?
Speaker 1: Let me get to some audio here, since I've solved
Speaker 1: that problem. I thought this was hilarious yesterday. So this
Speaker 1: is a French reporter, which why is there a French
Speaker 1: reporter in doing stuff I don't know?
Speaker 2: All right? As a reporter.
Speaker 1: And then it was a question that was keyed off
Speaker 1: the French reporter, just to be clear, and it has
Speaker 1: to do with the Statue of Liberty. And if you
Speaker 1: don't know, and I'm sure most of you do, that
Speaker 1: was a gift from France.
Speaker 3: But now.
Speaker 1: Poor miss Levitt, the White House Press Secretary, has to
Speaker 1: deal with this garbage.
Speaker 8: Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: The question was are you going to give the Statue
Speaker 2: of Liberty back?
Speaker 1: Because one single politician over in France is like, you
Speaker 1: need to give it back because you know you hate democracy,
Speaker 1: You're just horrible, right, He's got a case of TDS
Speaker 1: over there, and this is her repet to that.
Speaker 8: Absolutely not. And my advice to that unnamed low level
Speaker 8: French politician would be to remind them that it's only
Speaker 8: because of the United States of America that the French
Speaker 8: are not speaking German right now, so they should be
Speaker 8: very grateful to our grade country.
Speaker 1: And by the way, do you hear right at the end,
Speaker 1: do you hear like some of the reporters kind of
Speaker 1: like groaning because they don't like the answer.
Speaker 2: Tell me why she's wrong. Go ahead, explain it to me.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm not even gonna you know,
Speaker 2: you may we make France strokes with you know, oh
Speaker 2: the you know, oh wave the white flag.
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to discount the fact that the
Speaker 1: French resistance was an integral part of eventually overcoming the Nazis,
Speaker 1: specifically in France. That's that is a hunter because again
Speaker 1: I'm a history guy. I love history and the French
Speaker 1: resistance there was a lot of stuff that they did.
Speaker 1: I'm not the French government can screw itself.
Speaker 2: At that time, you had a lot of cowards and.
Speaker 1: They were essentially along the lines of what you saw
Speaker 1: pre Winston Churchill with the British. But the actual French
Speaker 1: resistance movement, there's a lot of really interesting and very
Speaker 1: cool stories there.
Speaker 2: And we utilized them.
Speaker 1: The US utilized them for part of their plan to
Speaker 1: descend through France and some of the stuff that they did,
Speaker 1: and it was very guerrilla warfare on their part, So
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take that away.
Speaker 2: That being said, likely would not have prevailed if.
Speaker 1: Not for US intervention, and not just the US, but
Speaker 1: the US primarily because you know, for the most part,
Speaker 1: everyone else was already in and then you added the US,
Speaker 1: You added Canada, you added what am I missing there,
Speaker 1: Australia and a few others, But the US was the
Speaker 1: primary factor there.
Speaker 2: So I don't know why these reporters are groaning the
Speaker 2: US goes in.
Speaker 1: There are there people who think that if the US
Speaker 1: had not intervened, that the Germans would have also lost in.
Speaker 2: The fashion that they lost.
Speaker 1: If so, I don't know who those people are, because
Speaker 1: I don't know how you get there. Germany's big The
Speaker 1: thing that really sank Germany at the end is that
Speaker 1: they had to They ran into two issues, and a
Speaker 1: division of force was the big issue. And the division
Speaker 1: of force was necessary because one of the strategies of the.
Speaker 2: US was not just pull frontal, you know, D Day
Speaker 2: and all of that.
Speaker 1: The US was absolutely dedicated to attempting to starve the
Speaker 1: German regime of the resources they need, specifically fuel. And
Speaker 1: so what happened is Hitler committed a lot, and we
Speaker 1: can get into the Calai thing and all the rest,
Speaker 1: but he committed all these troops to what eventually happened
Speaker 1: up in Russia, and then he realized he had to
Speaker 1: split his existing forces, although he did it too late
Speaker 1: towards azer Baijan to attempt to secure fuel right, and
Speaker 1: as a result when he did that, it left forces
Speaker 1: that were not able to deal with simultaneously marching on
Speaker 1: Berlin the Russians from one side in the US the
Speaker 1: other right, And that was part of the larger strategy there,
Speaker 1: but it required the US and the totality of forces there.
Speaker 1: So we don't have to get political about this. So
Speaker 1: she's making a comment, and yes she's making it in
Speaker 1: a snarky way, but not in an inaccurate way.
Speaker 2: And you know, one butt.
Speaker 1: Hurt moon bat over in France, which where I'm sure
Speaker 1: you can find a bunch of them, does not make
Speaker 1: some sort of resistance movement. So yeah, screw that guy.
Speaker 1: And that's hilarious and also probably accurate. All right, Look,
Speaker 1: we don't do a sports show around these parts, so
Speaker 1: to speak, but we do mention when they come up.
Speaker 2: West Virginia is.
Speaker 1: Big, mad man, and they're mad because West Virginia did
Speaker 1: not get NC Double A tournament birth and arguably, although
Speaker 1: it depends how you look at it, and I just
Speaker 1: want to be clear, I am not here to get
Speaker 1: into a state duke NC state debate. Okay, that's not
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm here for. But West Virginia is
Speaker 1: really mad because they didn't get in the NC double A.
Speaker 1: UNC did. And there are a lot of people criticizing
Speaker 1: UNC over the fact that they weren't real good this
Speaker 1: year and yet somehow ended up in the tournament. And
Speaker 1: you know, the accusations are, well, the only reason you're
Speaker 1: in the tournament is for money?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I have.
Speaker 1: I have talked about this on the radio numerous times,
Speaker 1: and I'll explain why here in a moment. Let's listen
Speaker 1: to the West Virginia A press conference. You at the
Speaker 1: governor in the age there.
Speaker 4: And I've asked Attorney General McCuskey to launch an investigation
Speaker 4: into the NC Double A tournament selection committee to determine
Speaker 4: if any backdoor duals, back room deals, corruption.
Speaker 2: By the way, what a what a backdoor deal? What
Speaker 2: does that mean?
Speaker 4: Bribe, or any nefarious activity occur during the selection process.
Speaker 4: I know that the attorney generals and I are going
Speaker 4: to leave no stone unturned drowing this process.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: Look, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: I do I think that UNC got the nod over
Speaker 1: West Virginia because UNC will sell more tickets. Yes, but
Speaker 1: I think you could make an argument for both, even
Speaker 1: if it's a bad argument, and it comes down to.
Speaker 2: How you evaluate it. So they have like these you
Speaker 2: know there, They have a metric that deals with.
Speaker 1: Quality teams versus non quality, and specifically it goes into
Speaker 1: strength of schedule, and you could make an argument if
Speaker 1: you it's like you know, statistics, lies and truth and
Speaker 1: and you can use them basically how you want. You
Speaker 1: could make an argument based on that specific metric that
Speaker 1: UNC deserved it more than West Virginia.
Speaker 2: But it's one of the few arguments you can make.
Speaker 1: And then to have the ad the athletic director from
Speaker 1: UNC as part of the committee. I think having ads
Speaker 1: of any college on the selection committee is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: But also I understand, like I get it, you know why,
Speaker 1: because it's the reason. I never was a fan of
Speaker 1: college sports going back to my childhood, and I tried
Speaker 1: to be the University of Wyoming in the nineteen nineties
Speaker 1: had a few really good years. In fact, one of
Speaker 1: the years we were six in the nation for football,
Speaker 1: and by the way, have produced some good quarterbacks. Ross
Speaker 1: do you think of any big quarterbacks from the University
Speaker 1: of Wyoming?
Speaker 2: Pretty good, guys. I could think of the Goat, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Goat Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: But this goes back to the nineteen nineties University of
Speaker 1: Wyoming had they were six, and I think they were
Speaker 1: twelve the year after, and you know what, they didn't
Speaker 1: get decent bowl games, and I remember it burned me
Speaker 1: on college sports. And the reasoning was, even though the
Speaker 1: University of Wyoming finished in the top ten, they couldn't
Speaker 1: get a top bowl game because the people around the
Speaker 1: Bulls went there's not enough people to travel from Wyoming
Speaker 1: because there's only five hundred thousand people in the state.
Speaker 1: So they got crap Bulls even though we're good. At
Speaker 1: that point, I looked down and I went, this whole
Speaker 1: thing is rigged and it's just a money grab.
Speaker 2: And that was that.
Speaker 1: It continues to partially be my opinion, but like I
Speaker 1: remember this going back to the nineteen nineties, so no,
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised they.
Speaker 2: Put UNC in because UNC is UNC.
Speaker 1: They draw people, they draw names. It's the reason the
Speaker 1: ACC told NC to screw itself. It took the whole
Speaker 1: damn tournament up to New York and then only comes
Speaker 1: back every now and then. Hey, if you don't think
Speaker 1: it's a money grab, what the hell are you doing?
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry West Virginia, you just don't sell as
Speaker 1: many tickets. But you're probably not wrong, But I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna do. All right, raced Agic from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel, heer, am, I mean.
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, he's not wrong. Yeah, there's only one thing
Speaker 6: in that whole kind of soliloquy that you had wrong,
Speaker 6: and that's the goat.
Speaker 2: The University of Wyoming quarterback. Who's the goat?
Speaker 4: Is?
Speaker 2: Well, who is it? Then? I'd be curious. You can
Speaker 2: name quarter.
Speaker 6: You're saying of all time, of all NFL quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: No, he's saying from the University of Wyoming.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, I didn't know you quite make goat whout?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean kind of.
Speaker 1: Name one, by the way, name one other University of
Speaker 1: Wyoming quarterback.
Speaker 2: I would love to hear this. I can't go ahead, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: you open your big mouth. You go ahead and tell us.
Speaker 6: Man, I couldn't name you one other player that came
Speaker 6: out of University of Bramblet.
Speaker 1: I think holds uh held the records until Josh Allen
Speaker 1: or Randy Willinette. Yeah, and then you'd have to go way, way,
Speaker 1: way way back.
Speaker 6: I know, I know, way back, yeah, back when we
Speaker 6: walked to school both ways up hill.
Speaker 1: Well, Nick Welne Act was the quarterback in the year
Speaker 1: we got absolutely jacked by the way that year the
Speaker 1: Waomi went eight and oh in the whack.
Speaker 2: It was the Whack Conference at the time. We still
Speaker 2: didn't get a decent bowld. So yeah, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: I'm just understood.
Speaker 6: I thought you meant of all quarterbacks of all I
Speaker 6: didn't know you.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, eventually we'll get in there, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all right now we got I
Speaker 6: got the fill it with. It's gonna be great. One
Speaker 6: out of the next five six days is gonna be wet.
Speaker 6: That's gonna be Thursday, mid upper sixties today, lots of sun.

Speaker 9: two billion dollars. It's an all cash deal. Whiz will
Speaker 9: become part of Google Cloud after the close. It was
Speaker 9: a significant decline last year in the number of vehicle
Speaker 9: thefts across the country. The National Insurance Crime Bureau says

Speaker 9: under eight hundred and fifty one thousand thefts were reported.
