Speaker 1: Uh sorry, I'm just fixing something that decided about thirty
Speaker 1: seconds before the show to be uncooperative. There we go,
Speaker 1: all right, very good. Uh let's see here. You guys
Speaker 1: want to learn this morning, as you know, just to
Speaker 1: start the show. I know everyone's brain isn't turned on
Speaker 1: right at you know, six oh six or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: but we can learn right ross. You watched the White
Speaker 1: Guys for common event last night as part of your duties,
Speaker 1: did you? Uh you watched all that?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I checked that out, yeah no, oh oh well what what? Well?
Speaker 1: How were we going to learn? Man u us? We're not,
Speaker 1: but there were we were. They were going to teach
Speaker 1: men how to be men and uh also come to
Speaker 1: terms with their manhood, which I don't know what that
Speaker 1: means sounds you know, well all right, so so unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you were busy wrapping your new couch and
Speaker 1: plastic like my grandmother did. All that.
Speaker 3: I was lifting, making beef jerkey, and I went a
Speaker 3: riverboat gambling.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, did you know when to hold him
Speaker 1: and when to fold him? Okay, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 3: I sat down and uh watched some John Wayne movies
Speaker 3: for about eight hours straight.
Speaker 1: Oh good, so tired. I watched Hondo the other day, right,
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's a good one. Okay. I I have
Speaker 1: a new bear rug so uh unfortunately what I had
Speaker 1: I had to alpha him into holding still. But he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's good now, Like, didn't hear a peep. I think
Speaker 1: he's terrifying. That's the way we like it. But that's
Speaker 1: what keeps it fresh.
Speaker 3: I'm very uncomfortable this morning. I'm trying not to move
Speaker 3: too much because you'll hear the jangling of my mammoth tusks.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's that the term you use for
Speaker 1: though Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, never heard them called that,
Speaker 1: but that Ross had to build a time machine to
Speaker 1: get those. So what are you doing? I'm you know what?
Speaker 1: All right, Well this isn't fair. Let's listen to organizer
Speaker 1: Ross Morales explain what it is to be a man. Well,
Speaker 1: I go literally fixed stuff with a paper clip and
Speaker 1: some bubblegum.
Speaker 4: And that happens at the same time as the myths
Speaker 4: around America that we grew up with, that we as
Speaker 4: men are expected to be protectors and providers.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm sorry, I forgot to I forgot
Speaker 1: to say this. Hold on, I'm taking a sip of
Speaker 1: my mead that I just made. It's very good. Ladies, Ladies,
Speaker 1: if any of you were listening this morning, you're gonna
Speaker 1: want to be sitting down. You're probably going to swoon
Speaker 1: when I play this guy's audio. And I don't want
Speaker 1: anything bad happening to you. I want you to fall down,
Speaker 1: get hurt, nothing like that. Okay, So hey, and you
Speaker 1: know what, I want you to resist the urge to
Speaker 1: leave your your your husband's, your boyfriends, and immediately try
Speaker 1: to track this dude down. He has a man bun
Speaker 1: or a top nutt thing going on. He doesn't really
Speaker 1: turn his head so that I throw that out there
Speaker 1: just to get the h the desires flowing. So resist
Speaker 1: those urges. Okay, resist those urges. Here we go with
Speaker 1: mister Morales.
Speaker 4: And that happens at the same time as the myths
Speaker 4: around America that we grew up with that we as
Speaker 4: men are expected to be protectors and providers are going
Speaker 4: out into economy that doesn't really allow for that, especially
Speaker 4: for working class folks, and sort of like compounding on that,
Speaker 4: you know, masculin as a trope has been co opted
Speaker 4: by the maga write is something that feeds into and
Speaker 4: exacerbates the loneliness epidemic as well as the mental health
Speaker 4: crisis that many face that end up leading to really
Speaker 4: destructive behaviors.
Speaker 1: We aren't the.
Speaker 4: Only ones that are hurt by these things. Black and
Speaker 4: brown people, lgbt QIA plus people, especially trans women and
Speaker 4: Indigenous people, and you know, all sorts of other folks
Speaker 4: in our society open historically and often still today are
Speaker 4: marginalized in being hurt, demonized, and you like marginalize even furthers.
Speaker 1: I don't know. By the way, I just built an
Speaker 1: a frame. While he was talking, Russel backed me up
Speaker 1: on this. What yep, Yeah, I'm working on my PhH
Speaker 1: Now he's trying to build a bigger one.
Speaker 5: I'm working on my forge back here making some swords.
Speaker 1: That is awesome. That's a that looks like the Klingon weapon.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, it's it's a bat left oh man swinging
Speaker 5: that hammer.
Speaker 1: Needs some fire sound effects. What is the what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Sir? Now? Look at look he's now.
Speaker 1: When he wants to talk about the ability within the
Speaker 1: economy for there to be a single worker to support
Speaker 1: an entire family, it is more difficult. The math bears
Speaker 1: that out. But the manhood trope, what is the manhood trope?
Speaker 1: I need to know, I know what is the manhood trope? That,
Speaker 1: by the way, has been hijacked from you. So what
Speaker 1: he's saying is he is the epitome of manhood. But
Speaker 1: now when people think of manhood they think of you know,
Speaker 1: Ross with his forge, me with my a frame. The
Speaker 1: idea that a man can be a protector, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's sheer absurdity. And this isn't the is what is
Speaker 1: the stupid trend? On tick train? Remember the New York
Speaker 1: Times did they did a big piece over the weekend
Speaker 1: because some woman used to be a ballerina and then
Speaker 1: she married a dude and they had like eight kids,
Speaker 1: and they got a ranch out in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: and they're all smiling and happy and doing their thing,
Speaker 1: and she's beautiful and he's tall and handsome, and they're
Speaker 1: too airyan looking for the New York Times and that
Speaker 1: they did a feature on these people, and absolutely it
Speaker 1: was a weekend of just trashing on him. She was
Speaker 1: a Juilliard He made her give up her dreams, like
Speaker 1: like it was some sort of Handmade's tale come to
Speaker 1: light right and instead you just yeah, I read a
Speaker 1: little bit of it because it's paywalled, but I saw
Speaker 1: some of the excerpts. Everyone sounds happy. Everyone sounds happy.
Speaker 1: You know why, because sometimes you take a different direction
Speaker 1: in life and it requires you to not continue on
Speaker 1: a direction you were going, and you have to make
Speaker 1: that decision. As an adult, you make that decision, do
Speaker 1: you all? Do you regret it? Sometimes? Yes? I didn't
Speaker 1: get the impression they did. But this guy claiming that
Speaker 1: they had a lot, you know, a lockdown on manhood
Speaker 1: and then it was the trope. But by the way,
Speaker 1: it's not a trope, it's a thing. It's not a
Speaker 1: trope that they had a lockdown on manhood and then
Speaker 1: the right came along and stole it and bastardized it
Speaker 1: and made it something that wasn't. And this is not
Speaker 1: to say, by the way, that people who who are
Speaker 1: Trump supporters can also be people that you would consider
Speaker 1: how do I say this? More traditionally manly or have
Speaker 1: you know, would would exude manhood or manliness which, by
Speaker 1: the way, manliness is almost something different than manhood. It's
Speaker 1: more of a manifesting of it. Whereas when I think
Speaker 1: of manhood, I think of people who it's not about
Speaker 1: understanding a role, but they understanding the importance of filling
Speaker 1: that part of it right, and whether it is in
Speaker 1: a relationship, whether it is in society, whether it is
Speaker 1: in you know, interacting with friends around them. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that can be manly that watching
Speaker 1: people do them, it doesn't look very manly. And there's
Speaker 1: things that aren't traditionally manly that can be I guess
Speaker 1: or at the very least not detract from it. Like
Speaker 1: I made fun of this due with a top knot. Okay,
Speaker 1: he looks like he looks like a loser with a
Speaker 1: top knot. But there's some guys who can pull it off. Whatever. Fine.
Speaker 1: I know, forget Jason Momoa a politics, but that dude
Speaker 1: walks into a room wearing a top knot. You're not like,
Speaker 1: look at the little girl, right, And that's just the
Speaker 1: physical outwardness. But I'm talking about what it means to,
Speaker 1: you know, be a provider if you need to be
Speaker 1: the provider or one of the providers, but also the protector,
Speaker 1: to be chivalrous when necessary, a trait that is being
Speaker 1: beat out of men many times by the women who
Speaker 1: this guy would attempt to surround himself with, who put
Speaker 1: him in the friend zone. Over at the Purple Hair rally,
Speaker 1: somebody wrote online that this guy could get friend zoned
Speaker 1: in a brothel. I laughed, that's funny because it's true.
Speaker 1: But I don't need a lecture from you know, Captain
Speaker 1: manbun here about what it is, because it's not the
Speaker 1: same thing for everybody. It's like that judge said about pornography.
Speaker 1: You just know it when you see it. But they're
Speaker 1: wanting to create this, this divide because it wasn't just
Speaker 1: this lunacy yesterday. No no, no, no no. It was
Speaker 1: also people who are now having a problem with the
Speaker 1: rights kind of manliness, and they decided that the person
Speaker 1: they want to attack for all the wrong reasons, as
Speaker 1: though he is the lone arbiter of manliness is Hulk
Speaker 1: Hogan because he was at the Trump rally, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, the owner of the Detroit Lions had Hogan
Speaker 1: at some event, some charity event, and a bunch of
Speaker 1: moonbats came out mad as hell because they want to
Speaker 1: cancel Hulk Hogan. The irony, of course being you guys
Speaker 1: could have canceled him for things over the years. You didn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until he and Peter Teel destroyed Goker that
Speaker 1: he was really back on your radar.
Speaker 3: They've been trying to destroy Hogan forever.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The problem is you get him down the mat and
Speaker 3: you're like it's over, and then he starts to hulk
Speaker 3: out and he starts to shake you ever seems shake
Speaker 3: like this, Yeah, I have stand at somebody stares at
Speaker 3: you and he's shaking. He's moving his head back and
Speaker 3: forth and yeah, yeah, boom dropped the big leg. Good luck.
Speaker 1: How how triggered are you by Hulk Hogan? I will
Speaker 1: share a story with you. The answer is apparently very
Speaker 1: triggered because he was he was at the Trump thing.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 3: It's so dumb, like like, listen, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1: It's like he's he's a character.
Speaker 3: He's I was about to say, it's like saying you're
Speaker 3: getting triggered by like some other big hero from the
Speaker 3: eighties like Optimist Prime. I'm sure I'm triggered by he
Speaker 3: Man or Lionel.
Speaker 1: Mmmm mm hmm. Well, I mean he Man is right
Speaker 1: there in the th Man, right he Man, I mean
Speaker 1: the sheer audacity of having two male descriptors as your name.
Speaker 1: That has to be triggering to the women. You know,
Speaker 1: the purple haired protests women, They just can't deal. This
Speaker 1: is so stupid. And if this is who is your
Speaker 1: arbiter of manliness?
Speaker 4: And that happens at the same time as the myths
Speaker 4: around America that we grew up with that we as
Speaker 4: men are expected to be protectors and providers.
Speaker 1: You know what, Let's put this dude in a field
Speaker 1: and I don't know, pick one of the women from
Speaker 1: the women's event, and we'll put some wolves in there,
Speaker 1: and we'll see who she expects to handle the wolves.
Speaker 1: He won't because he won't have any idea. But I think,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I think when there's wolves about,
Speaker 1: people's preconceived notions tend to fall by the wayside. Seammy
Speaker 1: looking at him, like, what do you gotta do something?
Speaker 1: We got wolves. Shit, they're so dumb they'd probably try
Speaker 1: to take a selfie with them. But there you go.
Speaker 1: All right, ladies, I'm gonna ask you this, those of
Speaker 1: you who haven't, you know, left your families to go
Speaker 1: find this guy to be with him, would you rather
Speaker 1: pretend you're single and ready to mingle. Okay, there's a
Speaker 1: thought exercise, and you can either go to the the
Speaker 1: White Men for Kamala fundraiser last night, albeit virtual, but
Speaker 1: let's say it was in person. You can either go there,
Speaker 1: you know, to find yourself a bow. Or you can
Speaker 1: go to the RNC after party where Hogan and Kid
Speaker 1: Rock and all of them are hanging out. Plus you
Speaker 1: know the whatever dudes were attending there. Let me know.
Speaker 1: I'm I have a prediction, but only time will tell.
Speaker 1: All Right, gonna get Ross to build me a sword.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, apparently. The hijacking by the Right
Speaker 1: of It Okay, and hul Cogan, David French, who's an
Speaker 1: absolute lunatic. He's he was kind of leading the charge
Speaker 1: on Twitter the other day, but he's not the only
Speaker 1: one they've been. They've been very upset over Hogan, like
Speaker 1: he went to like a kid's Yeah kids cancer fundraiser
Speaker 1: in Detroit. He's he's showing up to raise money for
Speaker 1: kids with cancer, and they protested him. And then they
Speaker 1: want to protest the Detroit Lions, which I would understand.
Speaker 1: Screw the Lions. Sorry Vikings fan here, but you can't
Speaker 1: you protested a kid's cancer thing. I guess people don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard during the uh the
Speaker 1: Israeli football sizes me soccer match, the crowd screaming Hyle
Speaker 1: Hitler during it at the Olympics yesterday. So this is
Speaker 1: where we are absolute lunatics. But yes, David French very
Speaker 1: upset and Hull Cogan because he showed up at the
Speaker 1: RNC because he tore his shirt off. Whatever he is now,
Speaker 1: he now has to be canceled. And as Ross pointed out,
Speaker 1: good luck, good luck with that. What are you gonna
Speaker 1: hit Hogan with? And one of the things, if you
Speaker 1: don't know the story, it's delicious. It's one of my favorite.
Speaker 1: It's up there with the why is his name escaping me?
Speaker 1: This war? Who had the stupid flag? That four chair
Speaker 1: Reddit tracked Shi La Buff? Yeah, look excuse me Lebouf
Speaker 1: Shilah Buff story with what happened with his we will
Speaker 1: not we will not submit stuff. That's that's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite stories. And then that and then the well
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the the dude with the dolphin story,
Speaker 1: but that's just my favorite recurring audio. And if you
Speaker 1: don't know what that is, weight it will eventually be
Speaker 1: presented to you. But for those of you who don't
Speaker 1: know what happened to Gawker, which was an absolute rag,
Speaker 1: was Hulk Hogan and Peter Teal. You know how much
Speaker 1: say hate Peter Teal because he is a tech bro,
Speaker 1: he is a Trump guy. He was given a cabinet position,
Speaker 1: except he was not recognized because we have to do
Speaker 1: these things as the first gay cabinet member, right the
Speaker 1: Biden administration decided the Buddhajic was and so did the media.
Speaker 1: Even though Peter Teel is incredibly gay and he's out,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't always out, and because there was, there
Speaker 1: were inklings for years the till was both gay and
Speaker 1: also conservative. Gawker just couldn't deal with that. And so
Speaker 1: what did they do? They him, which I thought was
Speaker 1: a major offense. They outed Peter Teel years ago and
Speaker 1: he's a billionaire, and you know what he did. He
Speaker 1: waited and he sat there and every day he had
Speaker 1: a team of lawyers combed through the crap that Gawker
Speaker 1: was printing until they could find a case that they
Speaker 1: knew could be used to destroy them. This is evil,
Speaker 1: genius crap, but all earned Okay, says, and then they
Speaker 1: just hammered on till and they did a Teal and
Speaker 1: they did this, and then one day Goker got a
Speaker 1: hold of the Bubba the Love Sponge whole Cogan video.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know what that is, basically, Bubba
Speaker 1: the Love Sponge's a radio host down the Tampa area.
Speaker 1: He was friends with Hogan who lives in the Tampa area.
Speaker 1: And Bubba's ex wife was there and Hulk got with
Speaker 1: her and there's video and all that. So it's like,
Speaker 1: it is what it is, okay, and they they put
Speaker 1: the video out, they did all this stuff, and that's
Speaker 1: when till just A Teal decided, you know what this is? It?
Speaker 1: So Teal and his lawyers reached out to Hulk Hogan
Speaker 1: and said, hey, you should sue him into oblivion. And
Speaker 1: Hulk's like, I don't have the kind of money to
Speaker 1: fight these guys, and and then Teal's like, I'd like
Speaker 1: to introduce myself. I'm a billionaire. And Teal funded Hulks
Speaker 1: lawsuits and destroyed Gawker. Ah, such a refreshing story. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. And you be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you hate the media, Yes, a lot of them. I do.
Speaker 1: But in this case, I don't even consider goker media.
Speaker 1: That's a gossip rag and it's a dead gossip rag.
Speaker 1: And every one of those writers over there, if you like.
Speaker 1: I used to comb through it day during my prep
Speaker 1: cycle and it was like it was like you drop
Speaker 1: something in the trash and I got to dig through it.
Speaker 1: That's what it felt like. So they earned everything that
Speaker 1: they got. So if that didn't destroy hul Cogan, good
Speaker 1: luck with that. Trump is masculinity is rooted in grievance
Speaker 1: and anger. David French rights, a democratic alternative should be
Speaker 1: honor and courage. Do you think honor and courage don't permeate?
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with the quote unquote rights relationship with
Speaker 1: the military, And when I mean the military, I mean
Speaker 1: the real military, not having to sit there and piecemeal stuff.
Speaker 1: And it has to be a very selective slice of it.
Speaker 1: And let's throw a bunch of people out who we
Speaker 1: now are trying to recall. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this. They're basically willing to re implement Navy seals
Speaker 1: who were booted or other special operators, and it basically
Speaker 1: bunge the whole. He wouldn't take the vaccine thing from
Speaker 1: the record, which makes a lot of people very nervously
Speaker 1: Why you're getting all these guys back all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like you changed your mind on this stuff. But the left,
Speaker 1: when you get into the honor and courage thing, that
Speaker 1: is not a hallmark of the of the left traditionally.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that there are not honorable people getting
Speaker 1: harder to make that argument sometimes, but if you wanted to,
Speaker 1: when you want to discuss it as a hallmark of
Speaker 1: a large group of people, who's going to be showing
Speaker 1: up for the veterans fundraiser, probably a bunch of people
Speaker 1: who are Trump voters. That's the reality. I've been to
Speaker 1: one hundred of these things. Even when they're built, they're
Speaker 1: not even build politically, not even through my show or
Speaker 1: something like that. They're just build very generically. It's almost
Speaker 1: exclusively people on the right showing up solutely. This is
Speaker 1: the revisionist history that you saw with the audio we
Speaker 1: played to open the show from the Captain manbun There.
Speaker 1: Whether we're going to reinvent masculinity is about two things. One,
Speaker 1: it's it's about revenge. I think in some cases, I
Speaker 1: think Captain manbun So wanted to be masculine and it
Speaker 1: just never worked out. So now he's got to destroy
Speaker 1: what he he never was able to achieve. But that's
Speaker 1: a personal thing, and I'm throwing accusations there. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's what motivates his week behind. But the
Speaker 1: other thing is, if they control what is masculine, anyone
Speaker 1: who is appearing to be more masculine must be an
Speaker 1: absolute terrorist and a problem. And the guy kind of
Speaker 1: says it in there, right, And then they turn into
Speaker 1: loaners who were running around and white supremacists and they
Speaker 1: all moved to Courtelaine, Idaho, and it's all crazy and
Speaker 1: that's going to be a heavy ironically enough, and I
Speaker 1: don't see him getting there. But if this is where
Speaker 1: they want to start, I'm here for it. From the
Speaker 1: New York Times, if you ever wondered whether the Republican
Speaker 1: Party sees itself as the party of men, I invite
Speaker 1: you to rewatch the r NC Prime Time featured a
Speaker 1: rousing speech by Hulk Hogan, a song by Kid Rock,
Speaker 1: and a speech by Dana White. Then they give descriptors
Speaker 1: of them chief executive of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Those
Speaker 1: were the warm up acts. Before Trump delivered his acceptance speech.
Speaker 1: It also included a speech by Peter Teel and a
Speaker 1: speech by Franklin Graham. And who was the woman who spoke?
Speaker 1: There was a woman who spoke in there, and I
Speaker 1: forgive me on I had the list in front of me.
Speaker 1: But but those are the three you seeeson? Okay, but
Speaker 1: what kind of men were featured? They're all rich and
Speaker 1: powerful in a long time I'm fan of professional wrestling,
Speaker 1: or as a longtime fan of professional wrestling, do you
Speaker 1: believe for a moment that David french is along was
Speaker 1: down with Hulkamania in the eighties?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Do you think he was cheering on Andre the Giant?
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. I don't believe you for a moment,
Speaker 1: But whatever. I loved watching Hogan as a kid, But
Speaker 1: none of them are the kind of men I want
Speaker 1: my son to be. White was caught on video slapping
Speaker 1: his wife. Kid Rock has his own checkered past, including
Speaker 1: a sex tape and an assault charge. Yeah, he got
Speaker 1: into a fight at a strip club with another dude,
Speaker 1: and I think the dude hit him, was his claim,
Speaker 1: But there was I can't remember the whole story, but whatever,
Speaker 1: Hogan faced his own sex scandal. Yes, because your allies
Speaker 1: in the media got a hold of his tape and
Speaker 1: published it, which led to them being sold for parts
Speaker 1: you absolute goon. So yeah, this is They're coming at
Speaker 1: it from a bunch of different directions, and I guess
Speaker 1: a Whole Cogan and Kid Rock and Dana White are
Speaker 1: everything that's wrong with it. And here's the irony. You
Speaker 1: don't have to like any of them. You can have
Speaker 1: a problem with that Dana White video a lot of
Speaker 1: people do. You can. You can have a problem with
Speaker 1: Whole Cogan based on steroid use, which you know, I
Speaker 1: would understand that you can have a problem with Kid
Speaker 1: Rock based on that haircut previously, whatever it is, but
Speaker 1: that wasn't the totality of it. And this idea that
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're going to redefine it and
Speaker 1: people like this idiot are going to be the arbiters
Speaker 1: of manliness, and.
Speaker 4: That happens at the same time as the myths around
Speaker 4: America that we grew up with that we as men
Speaker 4: are expected to be protectors and providers are going out
Speaker 4: into economy that doesn't really allow for that, especially for
Speaker 4: working class folks and sort of like compounding on that.
Speaker 4: You know, masculinity as a trope has been co opted
Speaker 4: by the magarite is something that feeds into and exacerbates
Speaker 4: the loneliness epidemic as well as the mental health crisis
Speaker 4: that many face that end up leading to really destructive behaviors.
Speaker 1: So why is it, by the way, that when you
Speaker 1: look at it, on average, you and your crew have
Speaker 1: a much higher probability of being on a long term antidepressants. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, where is the mental health crisis? He is
Speaker 1: telling you that the current version of what it is
Speaker 1: to be a man, or what people I guess would
Speaker 1: describe it if you just asked him on the street,
Speaker 1: leads to a bunch of loaners again with mental health
Speaker 1: issues that are absolute scourges to society and probably need
Speaker 1: to be rounded up and dealt with. I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 1: Listen to what he said. It leads to this epidemic
Speaker 1: of loneliness and mental health crisis, or it leads to
Speaker 1: woodworking or Ross's forge, right, which, by the way, that
Speaker 1: explains why there's six extra acs around here. I didn't
Speaker 1: know you were running a freaking kiln in there, so
Speaker 1: but whatever, right, it leads to go into the gym
Speaker 1: and get your gains in, or it leads to having
Speaker 1: eight kids with your wife and moving to a few
Speaker 1: hundred acres in the middle of Tennessee because you're a
Speaker 1: tech guy who's got a bunch of money and you
Speaker 1: can do that, And good for you and living that
Speaker 1: country life that you always dreamed of, and you both
Speaker 1: look immeasurably happy. And when The New York Times writes
Speaker 1: a piece about how happy you are, a bunch of
Speaker 1: bitter cat ladies, yes I will invoke that term, absolutely
Speaker 1: lose their crap and claim that she is is literally
Speaker 1: dealing with Stockholm syndrome and was ripped away from her
Speaker 1: dreams at Juilliard like a slave. And I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna reject that line of thinking, because you all are
Speaker 1: the mental health crisis we're dealing with. And I think
Speaker 1: that dude right there is probably the one suffering from
Speaker 1: the loneliness epidemic. Maybe just maybe, I don't know, contemplate
Speaker 1: and if you don't agree, what arm wrestle when we
Speaker 1: get back hang on, let's see, well you know what
Speaker 1: there we go? All right? All right, so this is
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago, all right. So in
Speaker 1: Arizona there was a wildfire that this one's called the Watchfire,
Speaker 1: and I was trying to figure out the date because
Speaker 1: they didn't put it in there. But they have just
Speaker 1: made an arrest of the man that they say was
Speaker 1: because here was the deal. So the fire destroyed let's see,
Speaker 1: twenty one homes, four hundred people had to evacuate. It burned,
Speaker 1: and three and a half square miles. So I don't
Speaker 1: know about twenty three hundred acres twenty two twenty three
Speaker 1: hundred acres. Why would you put oh, there's the acres. Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred acres. Yes, that's right. I can convert
Speaker 1: square miles to acreage. It's a wyoming thing anyway. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and there was a witness report that some protester was
Speaker 1: burning an American flag and that's what caused it. But
Speaker 1: you know, they were investigating, so they have arrested the
Speaker 1: dude for it. They arrested the dude. His name Keanu Dude.
Speaker 1: That is his legal name, Kanu Dude, because of course
Speaker 1: it is. And why not how high do you think
Speaker 1: he was with his buddies when he they convince him
Speaker 1: because he had to have changed his name to that right, nobody.
Speaker 1: You're not born Keanu dude, are you? Oh he's Apache.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm sorry, I'm just digest. I had to
Speaker 1: click over the New York Post story, which had more
Speaker 1: details than this. I'm sorry, I'm not making fun. I'm
Speaker 1: not making fun of the Apache here. But everyone who's
Speaker 1: part of the Apache tribe has a very interesting name.
Speaker 1: So this guy's and not like you know, then, not
Speaker 1: the in the Dances with Wolves scheme of things, but
Speaker 1: rather the tribe's police chief. His name is Elliott Sneezy
Speaker 1: and the chairman of the tribe. His name is Ronnie Rambler,
Speaker 1: a Taro Ronnie Rambler. Okay, I don't know, maybe he
Speaker 1: is Keanu dude, but anyway, Yeah, so they're all trying.
Speaker 1: So he burned down part of his own Oh this
Speaker 1: is yeah, this is on the reservation. So he literally
Speaker 1: burned out a bunch of his own tribe members so
Speaker 1: he could burn an American flag. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it was over Trump or just America in general, or
Speaker 1: like what the beef was. But yeah, up on the show,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about let's see yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: hang on, hang on, and Johnson dude. What Mike Johnson
Speaker 1: is an absolute loser, dude, the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1: I do not understand the ability of Republicans to seize
Speaker 1: defeat from the jaws of victory on such a regular basis.
Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? Why would people send you money?
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, and I don't care if you
Speaker 1: guys could do it. Some of you get irritated listening
Speaker 1: down there on Hillsboro. Why why, why why should people
Speaker 1: send you money? If this is what you're going to
Speaker 1: do with it, you're going to use it to promote
Speaker 1: an overall narrative or my Johnson is an effective Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House. So I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1: They put together they are sumbold the Trump Assassination Task Force,
Speaker 1: which I don't know if I like that name. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I like that name, Trump Assassination Task
Speaker 1: Force sounds like some of the Democrats have put together.
Speaker 1: But whatever, right, So this is their January sixth committee
Speaker 1: and they just announced who's going to be on this thing,
Speaker 1: and what an absolute dropped ball. Democrat members include Jason
Speaker 1: Crowe of Colorado. There is military background there, I guess.
Speaker 1: And by the way, the decision making was not done
Speaker 1: in the same way that the January sixth task Force was.
Speaker 1: Right where Johnson said, all right, who do you want
Speaker 1: on there? And in this case it would have been Pelosi,
Speaker 1: And then when the names were provided, she went, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, We're just gonna put these These
Speaker 1: two people hate Trump more than anything on there.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries literally wanted Benny Thompson on the damn task force.
Speaker 1: That was the only one, apparently that Mike Johnson rejected.
Speaker 1: And that's probably because Benny Thompson, who was also on
Speaker 1: the January sixth committee, proposed the denying infinite security and
Speaker 1: government resources allocated toward bluahblah. It's it's a stupid acronym
Speaker 1: that spells out disgraced. And it was a bill written
Speaker 1: to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection. He did that,
Speaker 1: I don't know about a year it now, not even
Speaker 1: a year ago, like six months ago. So he was
Speaker 1: not allowed. Other than that, they took all of them.
Speaker 1: And you want to hear the sheer insanity. Oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, here's the Democrats crow Korea lu Korea from California.
Speaker 1: Madelin Dean, Pennsylvania, hula Han Pennsylvania, Chrissy Hulahan is a
Speaker 1: nut job, Glenn Ivy of Maryland, and Jared Moskowitz of Florida.
Speaker 1: And I did appreciate Moskowitz being one of the more
Speaker 1: aggressive folks with the Secret Service director, but everyone was
Speaker 1: and I still think it was by design on the left.
Speaker 1: But I have a question, how is Corey Mills and
Speaker 1: Eli Crane not on this If you don't know who
Speaker 1: they are, you kind of do if you've been watching
Speaker 1: anything on Twitter. So former Navy seals. One is a sniper.
Speaker 1: The other dude is the guy who went to to
Speaker 1: the actual site. That's Eli Crane and filmed the video
Speaker 1: from the roof showed where the shots were, showed that
Speaker 1: little room in the other building. That's actually you could
Speaker 1: have stayed inside in air conditioning and still had line
Speaker 1: of sight on this building. You know people who are
Speaker 1: aware and are able to use their expertise to talk
Speaker 1: about security failures. How do you not put people on
Speaker 1: there who have the military background to understand how to
Speaker 1: secure a perimeter. This is wild to me, and Mike
Speaker 1: Johnson is an idiot. This was the opportunity to get
Speaker 1: people who can go in there who are familiar with it,
Speaker 1: Crane's film and stuff, and put people on this committee
Speaker 1: who are actually qualified to be on a committee about
Speaker 1: the failure of a security perimeter in this event, I
Speaker 1: don't understand it. Even if you don't, you know, even
Speaker 1: if you don't like the fact that, like Crowe I said,
Speaker 1: does have military background. I don't know fully what it is.
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but I want this is like watching
Speaker 1: these one hundred year old senators ask Facebook how they
Speaker 1: make money? Why do we always do this? And you
Speaker 1: have the power? Now, Okay? Should he have rejected all
Speaker 1: of the Democrats and just stuck the five who voted
Speaker 1: with Republicans against what the Democrats wanted, you know, basically
Speaker 1: pulled a Pelosi. You could make that argument he should
Speaker 1: have done that, but I don't Getting away from that,
Speaker 1: you might as well if you might as well put
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff on this thing, and then to not include
Speaker 1: members of Republican members of Congress who have real world
Speaker 1: experience A former Navy seal sniper. I want to be
Speaker 1: very specific because a lot of people think seals are
Speaker 1: just you're all seals, and you're all seals, and you are,
Speaker 1: but you have a special te Okay, you have a
Speaker 1: thing that is that you do that perhaps maybe the
Speaker 1: other guys in your team don't do right. So and
Speaker 1: that's that's how you make an effective team. You got
Speaker 1: a guy who's doing the breaching. You got a guy
Speaker 1: who is a sniper. You have all of that. I
Speaker 1: don't know all of the different ones, but I know
Speaker 1: enough that that's a thing. So you have somebody who
Speaker 1: is a former world class sniper and you don't put
Speaker 1: them on this committee? What is wrong with you? You
Speaker 1: have the guy who spent the most time thereafter, what
Speaker 1: is wrong with you? You put some gypsy circus act looking
Speaker 1: psycho from Pennsylvania on there who hates Trump. They're gonna
Speaker 1: turn this thing into Wow, why would why didn't Trump
Speaker 1: block the bullet for it hit the fireman? Right? Kind
Speaker 1: of garbage? And this is this is, this is what
Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House decides to do. Don't send
Speaker 1: these idiots a cent? Right, And by what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is whether you know it or not, leadership
Speaker 1: in Congress basically they have their packs, right, they have
Speaker 1: one in the House. House leadership fund is one. There's
Speaker 1: a few, and you don't give a cent that Mike
Speaker 1: Johnson Country because he doesn't know what to do with power.
Speaker 1: He's an idiot. He is an absolute, blithering idiot if
Speaker 1: he's going to think that this committee not having those individuals,
Speaker 1: at least one of them, not having individuals on there
Speaker 1: who understand the logistics. I remember yesterday when I asked
Speaker 1: Boston Paul to sober up and call in because I
Speaker 1: wanted to know what the standard because I think I know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, and I want to know how
Speaker 1: it works when you are a local law enforcement officer
Speaker 1: hav any interact with FBI or Secret Service for the
Speaker 1: purpose of a presidential visit, because I couldn't believe it
Speaker 1: when I heard the SWAT sniper team from Butler, PA
Speaker 1: said that they had no contact with Secret Service that
Speaker 1: day until after. And you don't stick the people, Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolute puppy. Yeah, I'm sure somebody put them in another
Speaker 1: room with, you know, lit a blow torch and said
Speaker 1: you will do this. Who the hell knows? That may
Speaker 1: be so angry when I just read that during the break.
Speaker 1: So you're not investigating crap, You're not going to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this, You're not going to figure
Speaker 1: out what we need to do you're gonna make some
Speaker 1: cursory recommendations that are obvious to me and dudes in
Speaker 1: a coma probably you know, maybe in the future we
Speaker 1: should not have the protect e shot and then task
Speaker 1: people to figure out how to implement your mandate and
Speaker 1: for and here's the other thing you're going to not accomplish.
Speaker 1: Are you ready? There are a there are a swath
Speaker 1: of individuals who don't think this was shearing competence. I know,
Speaker 1: people like, how dare you would accuse people of that?
Speaker 1: I'm not accusing. I'm explaining the reality to you. And
Speaker 1: the reality is that there are a lot of people
Speaker 1: who think this goes beyond just in competence, laziness, or
Speaker 1: any of it. And it can. It can be more
Speaker 1: than that, and it can be more than that intentionally
Speaker 1: or unintentionally. And here's what I mean by that. Right,
Speaker 1: there's incompetence like whoops, we forgot to secure that building
Speaker 1: because we thought they were doing it, and then they
Speaker 1: thought we were doing it and we forgot to talk
Speaker 1: and whoopsie. Right, But there's also if a decision was
Speaker 1: made that obviously transferred personnel to Pittsburgh for the Joe
Speaker 1: Biden event, was that done with any sort of malice.
Speaker 1: And then of course there's the Illuminati called and they
Speaker 1: said shoot Trump right, all right, So everything in between.
Speaker 1: So if it looks like you are not doing a
Speaker 1: thorough job, and you have people when we watch the
Speaker 1: committee hearings that we can watch asking dumb questions that
Speaker 1: burn their five minutes that either you know, either of
Speaker 1: the two reps that I told you about, Eli Crane
Speaker 1: or Corey Mills would have known instantly so they can
Speaker 1: get to the real meat of it, you know, to
Speaker 1: get to the meat of things. That's why Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: didn't care when he was sitting in that Senate hearing.
Speaker 1: They get ten minutes, but by the time they're done,
Speaker 1: by the time they actually get to pass all the
Speaker 1: easy questions, they're ten minutes is up. Whereas somebody who
Speaker 1: has a real working knowledge like Mills does of setting
Speaker 1: a security perimeter and what a sniper would look for
Speaker 1: and what a sniper would exploit, and how he is
Speaker 1: amazingly able to hold on like Spider Man, the sloped
Speaker 1: rules that are so slowed they would be legal for
Speaker 1: an eighty eight compliant wheelchair ramp. He's amazing right there.
Speaker 1: He must have spider powers. You're not gonna get You're
Speaker 1: not going to get to the real questions. And the
Speaker 1: real questions are questions that Corey Mills and he Corey
Speaker 1: Mills especially can ask and Eli Crane both seals, but again,
Speaker 1: Mills being the sniper that he can ask when another
Speaker 1: sniper is sitting in that chair testifying. Right, they're gonna
Speaker 1: ask questions. They're probably gonna use a bunch of weird
Speaker 1: military acronyms that I'm gonna have to go look up right, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, there are some hilarious ones if you
Speaker 1: ever really deep dive into it. I was getting into
Speaker 1: it with an emailer yesterday, thought he was gonna acronymy
Speaker 1: to death. But I remember some and you got Some
Speaker 1: of them are hilarious. I love the FAPs of thing
Speaker 1: and pms. Ah, those are military acronyms. Look abup. But
Speaker 1: he's gonna know, he's gonna know what to ask. And
Speaker 1: this is what you choose to do. Just absolute dufe
Speaker 1: is how how after what you saw Democrats do to
Speaker 1: that January sixth committee, even if you didn't want to
Speaker 1: do the thing or you shut down all of their suggestions,
Speaker 1: I understand rejecting you. You had to reject Benny Thompson,
Speaker 1: the guy tried to have Secret Service removed. He has
Speaker 1: a personal vendetta. You weren't gonna be able to overlook that.
Speaker 1: But even if you don't do that, why you would
Speaker 1: not put people on there that can really get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of this unless you really don't want him
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of it. That's right, you
Speaker 1: know what, that's absolutely roster. We had the X Files theme.
Speaker 1: I know we do in there somewhere. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to put that back on the button bar because I
Speaker 1: know I sound like a conspiracy loom, but I'm left
Speaker 1: with no other options. I'm left with no other options
Speaker 1: than to not understand how you would not put the
Speaker 1: people you have four hundred and thirty four other people
Speaker 1: to choose from you absolute lunatic and you can't And
Speaker 1: that's on both sides, okay, And you can't find people
Speaker 1: with military experience, let alone the exact experience. What am
Speaker 1: I left to conclude? All of you up there don't
Speaker 1: want answers. Deep State people are right, and all of
Speaker 1: those weird emails I get are now they're making sense.
Speaker 1: Or you can do a thorough job, and the American
Speaker 1: public might take seriously the work that you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't know what you do about
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, but you better do something quick. And this
Speaker 1: is this is inex sxplicable. I'd love to hear him
Speaker 1: explain himself, but he's going to busy himself with killing Joe.
Speaker 1: Biden wants to remake term limits on this, on this,
Speaker 1: on Scotis and then he's like, duh, oh my dead body.
Speaker 1: Look I'm fighting for you. No you're not. You're an
Speaker 1: absolute tool. And this might be the most resentful thing
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen you do. Biden can't do that.
Speaker 1: You guys can't do that that way. There's a constitutional thing,
Speaker 1: there's a process for that. It's Kabooki theater. So you
Speaker 1: will ignore this right here. This is shameful, and this
Speaker 1: is the Republicans doing it, and the Democrats are laughing
Speaker 1: at you. Benny Thompson was a sacrificial lamb. They got
Speaker 1: what they wanted, and you know what, perhaps you got
Speaker 1: what you wanted. I don't want to believe, but I'm
Speaker 1: starting to We'll be back. You're going to uh, We're
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and get to get to those right now,
Speaker 1: because one of these is absolutely delicious. Where is this all? Right?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Sorry, I had to open up yesterday's prep packet,
Speaker 1: which I was going to do during the break, but
Speaker 1: then Ross and I talked about getting shanghaied. So it's
Speaker 1: a thing, and you'll understand why here in just a moment,
Speaker 1: so the I have that in the stack. Yeah, here
Speaker 1: we go. Okay. So I don't know if you've been following.
Speaker 1: Of course the Justice Department has or the excuse me,
Speaker 1: the Biden folks and excuse me, Harris people. No, a
Speaker 1: little button didn't work there or whatever. So the Harris
Speaker 1: people and Biden all them, We're like, look, we're doing
Speaker 1: more to crack down on the you know, the drug
Speaker 1: trade in uh in Mexico than anybody else. And and
Speaker 1: the reason is they arrested a couple dudes in the US.
Speaker 1: El Mayo, not to be confused with El Miracle Whip. Sorry,
Speaker 1: that was lame Ismael Zambada, who's kind of a big
Speaker 1: deal for decades. They've been looking for this guy, right,
Speaker 1: and he he has never been in prison, unlike you know,
Speaker 1: l Chapo would get caught. They throw him in prison,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he's got a secret
Speaker 1: motorcycle tunnel under it, which is why he lives in Florence,
Speaker 1: Colorado now in super max and probably will forever. So
Speaker 1: that's good. And the attorney for Zimbada is he's telling
Speaker 1: a crazy story. So how was his client just hanging
Speaker 1: out near El Paso, Texas, specifically Santa Teresa, New Mexico,
Speaker 1: and then authority is just able to descend upon him. Well,
Speaker 1: according to the lawyer, his client got sharp kind of
Speaker 1: he claims, are you ready for this? He claims he
Speaker 1: had no intent to be in New Mexico, wouldn't go
Speaker 1: to the US. He said. My client neither surrendered nor
Speaker 1: negotiated any terms with the US government. Joaquin Guzman Lopez,
Speaker 1: you know him as El Chapo's son. According to the attorney,
Speaker 1: kid drugged, kidnapped, his client, threw him into a plane
Speaker 1: in handcuffs, blew him to the US US, offloaded him
Speaker 1: off the plane, at which point people are like, what's
Speaker 1: going on, and then they went up and arrested this dude.
Speaker 1: He was throwing the back of a pick up, forced
Speaker 1: into the plane, tied to the seat by Guzman Lopez
Speaker 1: and uh just ended up there and that's crazy. That's
Speaker 1: like Ciicario. If you ever seen Cicario, or do you remember,
Speaker 1: because remember Trump was saying one of the things that
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we need to do, and it's and
Speaker 1: it would probably never happened publicly, is send like sealed
Speaker 1: teams into Mexico to grab these dudes and do exactly
Speaker 1: what they did in the movie Cacario. If you've never
Speaker 1: seen the movie Cacario one, don't watch the second one.
Speaker 1: It's done, but watch the first one. It's a great movie. Basically,
Speaker 1: it's a you know, some sort of joint task force.
Speaker 1: This woman from the FBI, she gets pulled over to
Speaker 1: it and and there, you know, there's got a bunch
Speaker 1: of people working in the task force and it's not
Speaker 1: always clear where they're from. And one of them is
Speaker 1: a guy is a character, Venicio del Toro, And I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna ruin who he is for you because it's
Speaker 1: not necessary here. It's a really good movie. But what
Speaker 1: they're doing at the beginning of the movie, and she's
Speaker 1: trying to come to terms with after they had just
Speaker 1: they had busted a house in on in the States
Speaker 1: that was filled with dead bodies of migrants and drugs
Speaker 1: and all sorts of stuff. It's pretty horrendous. And they
Speaker 1: decide that they're gonna they're gonna go get the dude
Speaker 1: they think is responsible for this, or one of the dudes.
Speaker 1: And then there's another dude that they go to get.
Speaker 1: That's more of the movie, but again watch the movie.
Speaker 1: And so they go in standard suv. They're not wearing
Speaker 1: patches on anything, and you know, they pay off some
Speaker 1: local federalis there and they go in and they snatch
Speaker 1: this dude. It's the opening part of the movie. And
Speaker 1: then just drive them back across the border. They're like,
Speaker 1: look what we found in Texas or wherever they came out.
Speaker 1: I think they're out of Texas or Arizona or whatever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so like maybe it's that which is kind
Speaker 1: of amazing. Can you imagine if the world's worst drug
Speaker 1: lords or you know, murderous dictators, just all of us,
Speaker 1: you know, who have like international arrest warrants, you just
Speaker 1: like and just wake up and they're in a cafe
Speaker 1: in Houston eating and panadas and they don't know how
Speaker 1: they got there, and here come the police.
Speaker 3: It happens. You know, I'm stare in your compound. You
Speaker 3: wake up in the bay Smith of the Alamo.
Speaker 1: What what happened? What's that bicycle? Whose bike is there?
Speaker 3: It's like Batman in the dark night. Yes, yes, he
Speaker 3: goes to Shanghai and he gets yeah, and he drops
Speaker 3: him down and got them. He's like, there's your guy.
Speaker 1: Wait looking at that. He's right there. Go ahead to
Speaker 1: rest him. That'd be crazy, man. Just like who showed
Speaker 1: up this week? Oh it's the you know, it's the
Speaker 1: butcher ab of Bengali. He was We found him at Disneyland.
Speaker 1: Why is he a Disneyland? I don't know. He claims
Speaker 1: he didn't mean to go to Disney.
Speaker 3: He wakes up strap to the people movies.
Speaker 1: Gotta be amazing. That's amazing. Oh yo, what is that
Speaker 1: flying around? No? Go away? Okay, yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: Disney thing would be far funnier than the Alamo. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Alamo is kind of sending a message for a
Speaker 1: Mexican drug lord. But like, if you want to get
Speaker 1: the dude who keeps feeding kids to to al gators
Speaker 1: in the Philippines or whatever, and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden he shows up on the log flume. I'm here
Speaker 1: for that, because you know, you get the picture. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine how popular that picture would be for purchase
Speaker 1: of him recognizing right on the downslope while everyone's arms
Speaker 1: are in the air.
Speaker 3: Really splash mountain or whatever they're calling it now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that could be any log fluw do
Speaker 1: the what the ball of America? I don't care. You
Speaker 1: the one of Caroins, Yeah, let's get let's get the
Speaker 1: Carolinas up in this thing. I'd be fantastic. Oh oh,
Speaker 1: you're talking about kidnapping people. Yeah, but those people the
Speaker 1: people flooding your streets with violence and profiting off of
Speaker 1: the absolute invasion of your country, promoting it, running radio
Speaker 1: ads in Mexico and Central America, running radio ads telling
Speaker 1: people about relocation services, putting fly up at thetia's farmers
Speaker 1: markets and stuff. These are things that exist that your
Speaker 1: government is aware of that don't make it into the news.
Speaker 1: And these are the people profiting off of that. So
Speaker 1: if they show up on uh, you know, a roller
Speaker 1: coaster over at Cedar Point, then whatever, Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: got them all strapped down, it's perfect. What are they
Speaker 1: gonna do? Jump? Absolutely nuts? All right? Eight eight eight
Speaker 1: three four seven eight seven four. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I find that story so amusing, but it's the I
Speaker 1: just I would love to be a fly on the wall.
Speaker 1: When he woke up, like what he's looking around? He's like,
Speaker 1: look at a license places, say, oh, it looks like
Speaker 1: New Mexico license. Oh my gosh, and then boom, you're
Speaker 1: You're in custody. So all right, seven forty three. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's get rased agic if he's ready to rock and roll,
Speaker 1: and we'll get into the other story in a moment.
Speaker 1: So this this this big drug lord that they caught
Speaker 1: down in New Mexico. He claims, it's you ever see
Speaker 1: the movie Sacario? I have not? How am I the
Speaker 1: only one who's seen this?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Are the Dark Knight? Right? Remember the Dark Knight? He
Speaker 1: has to go get that dude from Hong Kong or whatever,
Speaker 1: and he goes and like literally snatches him out of
Speaker 1: the office building and drops him on the streets of
Speaker 1: Gotham that they're wanting to get. Have you never seen
Speaker 1: The Dark Knight?
Speaker 6: The parts of it really not helping you out here today?
Speaker 3: Am I.
Speaker 1: Sorry? I think so? I just you know what you
Speaker 1: need to be strapped to? Something like in what's the
Speaker 1: Roddy McDowell movie. I'm thinking of that really weird one
Speaker 1: from the sixties where they strap him and make him
Speaker 1: watch this stuff with the eye things.
Speaker 6: On clockwork orange.
Speaker 1: Yes have you seen that? I have? Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: you need, but not with porn or whatever was on there,
Speaker 1: but with like, you know, good movies and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do, all right, and you know what, you'd probably
Speaker 1: like it because like your wife couldn't objectbably you got
Speaker 1: stuff to do this weekend. I can. I'm strapped to
Speaker 1: this seat. I have to watch these. I have no choice,
Speaker 1: So all right, well, then carry on with your business, sir.
Speaker 6: Oh sorry, sorry I couldn't contribute, but maybe next time.
Speaker 6: What goes up temperatures, what goes down rain chances and coverage.
Speaker 6: Watching the complex right now of severe storms coming out
Speaker 6: of northeastern Tennessee going through Johnson City, about to enter
Speaker 6: western parts of the state in the mountains here over
Speaker 6: the next couple hours and may try to get into
Speaker 6: the triad late morning and come across the triangle. I
Speaker 6: think they're going to weaken as they approach, so there
Speaker 6: is a chance of seeing some of these shower thunderstorms
Speaker 6: later this morning and into at least the mid afternoon
Speaker 6: hours from west to east, So just the heads up
Speaker 6: and if they hold together, especially for the Triad, could
Speaker 6: be some stronger storms around lunchtime or there after. Upper
Speaker 6: eighties for many of us who may stay in the
Speaker 6: middle eighties and the Triad in points west Tomorrow will
Speaker 6: start to see the heat built. So here we go
Speaker 6: back to the low and mid nineties with eating it
Speaker 6: seas close to one hundred. Going to see that again.
Speaker 6: For Thursday and Friday, a real good chance will be
Speaker 6: anywhere between ninety four and ninety seven degrees for daytime,
Speaker 6: high small rain chances, and even into the weekend. I
Speaker 6: don't see too much changing, low to mid nineties and
Speaker 6: chances of rain in each afternoon, so no widespread rain.
Speaker 6: Parts of the state have seen an abundance of rain
Speaker 6: over the last couple of weeks. In Asheville they've had
Speaker 6: over nine inches of rain this month and a surplus
Speaker 6: for the year. We've seen quite a bit in the
Speaker 6: Try and the Triangle a little bit more coming in again.
Speaker 6: Some of these storms has come in later this morning,
Speaker 6: especially to the west, could pack a punch, so maybe
Speaker 6: some strong winds and heavy rain and then we'll start
Speaker 6: talking about the heat more than we will with a
Speaker 6: thunderstorm probably starting tomorrow and for the rest of the
Speaker 6: week and into the weekend.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, thank you very much. Movie guy. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll talk in an hour. Thank you. You go, Race
Speaker 1: Agic from the Weather Channel. Oh wait, all right, so
Speaker 1: finally somebody else has seen Sakario. So it was Texas.
Speaker 1: The base was oh, because they're out of Laughlin. And
Speaker 1: then del Rio's the border town. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a good movie. Y'all should watch it. There you go,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll be back. Hang on, is there anyone
Speaker 1: who listens to this show and you think one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of what Ross and I say is serious?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: We just got what did we get corrected on?
Speaker 3: Somebody send me an email let me know that the
Speaker 3: basement doesn't the Element doesn't have a basement. Okay, Well,
Speaker 3: as I mentioned in passing, which I mean, how they
Speaker 3: get a bike down there though exactly right. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 3: Madame Ruby doesn't lie. He is impeccable.
Speaker 1: Absolutely if in fact, if Mike Johnson wasn't a complete
Speaker 1: blithering idiot. I just got an email from somebody saying
Speaker 1: maybe he's got the case all buttoned up. Again, it's
Speaker 1: not just the case because I've seen we've seen this
Speaker 1: show before you put this. You put the seal sniper
Speaker 1: on this thing because he can and talk to the
Speaker 1: experts in ways that everyone else can't. Okay, he'll know
Speaker 1: when they're full of crap. There's a reason that when
Speaker 1: you see those stolen valor videos, who usually notices that
Speaker 1: the dude in the mall with his flag patch incorrect
Speaker 1: and you know, a slight deviation and where you know
Speaker 1: on his lapel there who's busting them other military dudes
Speaker 1: who had to wear that every day correctly, and if
Speaker 1: they didn't, they get smoked. For the same reason that
Speaker 1: you're going to investigate this, you need people in there
Speaker 1: who have the requisite experience. So when they start in
Speaker 1: on a government witness or somebody who was there that day,
Speaker 1: or somebody who's in the chain of command, or somebody
Speaker 1: was supposed to be running the com center where these
Speaker 1: guys actually coordinated, I can't get my head around that
Speaker 1: they know that when you start throwing acronyms out, whether
Speaker 1: you're full of crap or not, this is easy. So yes,
Speaker 1: and free, not base, but if you think everything we
Speaker 1: spoiler Ross doesn't have a forge in his studio. He's
Speaker 1: not making a sword right now.
Speaker 5: Yes I am.
Speaker 1: He's banging one of his toys on the counter, spoiler,
Speaker 1: or he's making a sword, you know what. Believe whatever
Speaker 1: you want, surf you.
Speaker 5: It shall not be in friends, shall not be Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Guess if you're making weapons, technically it would fall under that.
Speaker 1: So all right, yeah, so you know, breathe and you know,
Speaker 1: question everything. We're fine with that.
Speaker 3: Very disappointed. That's the only hammering sound effect we have
Speaker 3: in the in the system. Isn't that depressing?
Speaker 1: We only have the one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I searched, you just searched hammer right,
Speaker 3: hammer hammering, myning, my yell against.
Speaker 1: Oh that's too bad. Do we have a sound of
Speaker 1: an actual forge, you know, with the with you know,
Speaker 1: like the blacksmith hitting.
Speaker 3: I look, that's my fallback career, so I'm doing it here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I have tenure. I've been here with eighteen years now,
Speaker 3: so I can if I want to put a kiln
Speaker 3: or a forge here in the studio, I'm allowed to
Speaker 3: do so they can't do anything about I have tenure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, until you burn all of high woods down.
Speaker 3: It's my backup career, Blacksmith. Yeah, he burned the He
Speaker 3: burned the whole business park. That happened on Forged and Fire.
Speaker 3: He talked to him about it before the show. There
Speaker 3: is a guy in upstate, New York who watched Forge
Speaker 3: and Fire the show in the history chick fan swords.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna make swords now looks fun.
Speaker 3: So he builds a kiln in his uh yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know his wife, you know his wife every
Speaker 1: day it was like don't.
Speaker 3: And like and burn burst from his forge, you know,
Speaker 3: drifted away and they just happened to say something on
Speaker 3: fire and that thing was the downtown of the town.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that burned down, just one little thing. And
Speaker 1: then his wife gave him and I told you so
Speaker 1: and probably left. Ah. So yeah, if Ross wants to
Speaker 1: and all of the business park down, he says, it's
Speaker 1: his constitutional right. So who am I? Who am I
Speaker 1: to argue? I'll tell you what's not. You're right to
Speaker 1: derail a train for YouTube YouTube clicks, which a young
Speaker 1: man in Nebraska's facing charges over. And he is not
Speaker 1: the master criminal. He is not, by the way, grabbing something.
Speaker 1: And then I just looked up at the clock and
Speaker 1: literally had to sprint back. But that's how we We're
Speaker 1: always working, even when you're not listening to us. Now,
Speaker 1: how much we're working. Some of you would claim it's
Speaker 1: fifteen hours a week. It's quite a bit more than that,
Speaker 1: but I can tell you it's more than the Netherlands.
Speaker 1: We'll break down this crazy graph. We already tweeted this
Speaker 1: thing out about how much how many hours full time
Speaker 1: workers work on average by country, And I always love
Speaker 1: people's response. They're like, oh, wow, well, you know in
Speaker 1: the US you work too much. So when you're looking
Speaker 1: at other countries where they barely work at all, it's
Speaker 1: just like, why wouldn't you want it to be the
Speaker 1: other way? Well, it also speaks to innovation production and
Speaker 1: what you're watching happening in Greece right now, where they're
Speaker 1: going to go to a six day work week because
Speaker 1: their productivity is so low. There is a balance there.
Speaker 1: But I'll just put the numbers out. We could talk
Speaker 1: about that here in a moment, but first I want
Speaker 1: to talk about the the the YouTuber out in Nebraska
Speaker 1: and master criminal. He is not He's seventeen year old
Speaker 1: who makes train video he's really into trains. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's as crazy as that one dude,
Speaker 1: that famous train guy audio, which maybe I should have
Speaker 1: pulled that, but whatever, you know, if you know it,
Speaker 1: you know. But he's pretty young in his career, and
Speaker 1: by the way, his voiceovers really shaky, right, he needs
Speaker 1: a lot of practice there, although I suspect maybe he's
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be making train videos again. So he
Speaker 1: lives in a town called Bennett, Nebraska, and Bennett is
Speaker 1: like a lot of small towns. There's not a so
Speaker 1: weird by Buddy from Nebraska. Literally just texted Vegas. He's
Speaker 1: listening all right, time stop, I'm telling the thing. I'm
Speaker 1: telling the thing. Man, hold on. Oh it's a different story, okay,
Speaker 1: all right. So, like Bennett, Nebraska is like so many
Speaker 1: of these little postage stamp towns out in the West,
Speaker 1: in the Midwest, it's you know, there's not a lot
Speaker 1: going on. And you know, Buffalo, Wyoming is uh is
Speaker 1: where I grew up. It's not it's not a huge town.
Speaker 1: It's like thirty five hundred people. Bennett looks to be
Speaker 1: smaller than that. And so you gotta you gotta get
Speaker 1: your own entertainment. By the way, Bennett is about a
Speaker 1: half hour forty five minutes south of Lincoln. Oh, actually
Speaker 1: more than that, probably an hour south. I'm just looking
Speaker 1: it up on a map here, so you know that's
Speaker 1: the trip over to the big city. I guess if
Speaker 1: you want to do something, so you know the idea
Speaker 1: that he gets fascinated because in Bennett, Nebraska, they have
Speaker 1: a lot of coal trains that come through. I think
Speaker 1: they have a plant, so it's feeding power station out there,
Speaker 1: and so Burlington, Northern Santa Fez, I'm assuming the rail
Speaker 1: line that comes through there, and so he gets really
Speaker 1: knowledgeable with trains. But he just wasn't getting the juice
Speaker 1: when he put his videos up because again they weren't
Speaker 1: really well made. They weren't even really that interesting unless
Speaker 1: you're really into trains, and then specifically into coal trains.
Speaker 1: So I guess he sat around at the strategy meeting,
Speaker 1: which is going on in his own head, and said,
Speaker 1: all right, well, what can we do to go ahead
Speaker 1: and pump those numbers up? Right? And he thought, you
Speaker 1: know what if I get video of one of these
Speaker 1: trains slamming into I don't know if he thought it
Speaker 1: would derail. He kind of had to know as much
Speaker 1: as he knows about trains because well, I'll explain the
Speaker 1: scenario here in a moment, but I want you to
Speaker 1: listen to the video of this train derailing. It's not
Speaker 1: super high speed and thankfully nobody was injured. But basically,
Speaker 1: the train slammed into an empty Loan coal car, right,
Speaker 1: one of those black coal cars you'd see trains pulling.
Speaker 1: You know, weighs I don't even know what it weighs
Speaker 1: crap ton, but obviously, if you're a train that's moving,
Speaker 1: hitting one of those is gonna is gonna be problematic.
Speaker 1: But it also derailed because it moved the track the
Speaker 1: train was on on the primary track that it tried
Speaker 1: to force the train onto the secondary track the spur
Speaker 1: line or they have a word for it. I think
Speaker 1: it's which it's a repair it's to rip a rip
Speaker 1: line or rip track, and it mean it's a repair track.
Speaker 1: So you know, and you know how you know you
Speaker 1: have the mechanical you know arm that you've seen a
Speaker 1: hundred times where the villain switches the tracks and those
Speaker 1: things are generally locked down. They're not real easy to manipulate.
Speaker 1: But the one in Bennett was one of the older
Speaker 1: ones where it was simply a padlocked box. And then
Speaker 1: once he was able to get it open. This is
Speaker 1: all alleged by the way, once he was able to
Speaker 1: get it open, he was able to manipulate it back
Speaker 1: so that the train also, in addition to hitting this thing,
Speaker 1: had to it made a quick jaunt over to the track.
Speaker 1: So hitting it at the speed the train was traveling,
Speaker 1: coupled with hitting the coal car, it caused the train
Speaker 1: to leave the tracks. Obviously, because it's trying to make
Speaker 1: you know, like that the thing up and where was
Speaker 1: it Philadelphia where you had that that Amtrak wreck that
Speaker 1: that was from hitting a corner way too fast. Well,
Speaker 1: this creates just a little s, little half s corner thing,
Speaker 1: and that's what the train actually probably derailed from. But
Speaker 1: it was predicated on the fact that the track was
Speaker 1: selected over to the rip track where this thing was sitting.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you all this because I want it
Speaker 1: to be abundantly clear that whoever did that absolutely had
Speaker 1: to know that it was gonna be bad. Well, lo
Speaker 1: and behold, here is this young man standing by and
Speaker 1: just happened to be filming filming in that direction, filming
Speaker 1: at that exact moment so he could capture the quote
Speaker 1: unquote insane, insane footage, the insane footage of the derailment.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my fricking god,
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Aren't they okay? All right, so lunatic in my opinion,
Speaker 1: here's how he got busted. And and this how people
Speaker 1: don't know this is beyond me in the same way
Speaker 1: that the guy who ditched his own plane. Immediately folks
Speaker 1: are like, wait a, say you're wearing a parachute you
Speaker 1: happen to have He also took he disengaged something within
Speaker 1: that serrus. I'm not sure what it was. But also
Speaker 1: he had set up cameras, but specifically cameras on the
Speaker 1: underwing and on on you know, some of the support beams,
Speaker 1: so that he had like all of these cameras filming
Speaker 1: him emerging from the plane with his parachute and jumping
Speaker 1: out while allowing it to crash into He couldn't have
Speaker 1: known where it was going to crash. It could have
Speaker 1: hit some hikers, it could have hit a highway. Was
Speaker 1: the fact that nobody was killed or injured is amazing.
Speaker 1: But immediately they were like this is so weird. Nobody
Speaker 1: flies like this, even if you're a YouTuber, and so
Speaker 1: he was immediately caught. So what happened is the train derails.
Speaker 1: All this happens. You see him run over where Now
Speaker 1: the guy's in the train are out of the train
Speaker 1: and they're walking around, probably a little daze, but thankfully
Speaker 1: nobody suffered any significant injuries. And he's standing there the
Speaker 1: whole time and he's just because it's cutting through his
Speaker 1: little town. It's got nothing to do. And investigators show up,
Speaker 1: and investigators he's questioning them. He's like, what happened? Do
Speaker 1: you know what had They're like, we don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: yet we're looking into it. And he's like, I think
Speaker 1: what happened. Does somebody remove the padlock from the line
Speaker 1: switcher and then switched it over to the rip track
Speaker 1: where it collided with the blah blah blah And the
Speaker 1: investigators looking at him like how would you know that?
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, you know, I know a lot
Speaker 1: about trains. And then I'm sure the instigator looks down
Speaker 1: the track and he sees this kid's tripod and it's
Speaker 1: a tripod that is pointed directly and if you see
Speaker 1: the video, okay, Russell, send a link. Ount If you
Speaker 1: see just the angle of the video, you realize there's
Speaker 1: zero reason to point a camera here. If even if
Speaker 1: you were trying to film a train going by, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't stand right next to the track, which is dumb
Speaker 1: because you're doing this. You would stand back and you'd
Speaker 1: put like the big panorama shot on so you could
Speaker 1: get this train movie moving by. You Sure, the last
Speaker 1: thing you would do is to shoot it down this
Speaker 1: little alley where the two tracks emerge and and uh
Speaker 1: and separate from each other, because if you wanted to
Speaker 1: film that part of it, you would walk down there.
Speaker 1: But you wouldn't if you knew that something bad was
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So within five minutes they're like, this kid
Speaker 1: totally derailed the train. Man, so he's charged. They say
Speaker 1: the damage was three hundred and fifty thousand, which actually
Speaker 1: I as almost downright affordable. I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I thought it would be more, not just the damage
Speaker 1: to the coal car. And what it happened is the
Speaker 1: coal car had been damaged, but in normal course of stuff, right,
Speaker 1: and so they had made a decision on a previous
Speaker 1: train to remove it, put it on the repair track,
Speaker 1: and then let the crews get to it. When the
Speaker 1: crews got to it, and then they would have put
Speaker 1: the track back over. Now I am curious why or
Speaker 1: how the system wouldn't read that if there's a digital
Speaker 1: way that it would know that there's because like a
Speaker 1: lot of tracks, if there's something going on, it indicates
Speaker 1: within the cab. I had a buddy who was who
Speaker 1: worked for in Minnesota, who worked for Burlington Northern, and
Speaker 1: it was fascinating, Like the rules stand the rules, like
Speaker 1: these guys they're not allowed to have their phone out
Speaker 1: in there, they're not allowed to be doing and they
Speaker 1: just they have to just be watching the track doing stuff.
Speaker 1: But the technology and stuff that they have, especially that
Speaker 1: they were outfitting with the the the UH the engines
Speaker 1: that he was operating, was was pretty cool to learn about.
Speaker 1: But so I don't know how it works with the
Speaker 1: coal trains or all of that, or maybe there was
Speaker 1: some indicator and they were slowing down. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But then they went back and they they realized that
Speaker 1: there was video of this kid's like car coming in earlier.
Speaker 1: Because there's close caption footage, they can't see where the
Speaker 1: actual switcher stuff is happening, but they can see him
Speaker 1: driving onto the side road right around the time that
Speaker 1: you would have had to do it in between trains.
Speaker 1: So like the evidence is overwhelming, but the fact is
Speaker 1: he did it for YouTube content. As social media is
Speaker 1: a cancer, man, Ross, let's stop doing social media.
Speaker 3: You can always tell when these things are like fake too,
Speaker 3: like he's trying to because why is the camera there?
Speaker 3: Like you see these big elaborate videos like I saw
Speaker 3: one on X right where it's like a woman is
Speaker 3: painting her wall and it's being filmed from a distance,
Speaker 3: so you see the entire room and it's it's in
Speaker 3: the landscape positioned perfectly, and her kid comes in and
Speaker 3: knocks her up the ladder and she falls on the
Speaker 3: couch that the paint on it, and then she.
Speaker 1: Saw that video. She's like, oh, I'm on covered in paint.
Speaker 3: Now I'm gonna get your kid.
Speaker 1: And it's like, come on, what are you saying? That's
Speaker 1: not real? Are you that little that little that little
Speaker 1: turd came in there and ruined the couch.
Speaker 3: Man just set it set up like a game of
Speaker 3: mouse trap.
Speaker 1: Just it was straight up because I remember the all
Speaker 1: the paint happened to flip back almost like she was
Speaker 1: holding it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you see constant videos like this where something
Speaker 3: crazy elaborate will happen or something very heroic, and you're like, well,
Speaker 3: why was the camera there? Like you said, why is
Speaker 3: it in four K's perfectly filmed? And the first thing
Speaker 3: I do is I immediately go to the comments trying
Speaker 3: to find somebody to say this is bullcrap man, and
Speaker 3: like it's so depressing because you have to scroll and
Speaker 3: scroll and scroll until you find somebody who understands that
Speaker 3: this is not real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of the most blatant ones. It's more depressing
Speaker 1: to scroll forever and go. Is everybody stupid? Right? Am
Speaker 1: I surrounded by stupid? Which we are because sometimes we're
Speaker 1: surrounded by stupid. But yeah, yeah there's some I'll tell
Speaker 1: you the uh oh one of the ones just that well,
Speaker 1: you know what, all of them are just the worst.
Speaker 1: Like I could try to land on one, but it's
Speaker 1: just they're so fake and it's just the amount of
Speaker 1: and the acting is so bad on some of these,
Speaker 1: like even if you're not paying attention to what's going on,
Speaker 1: the acting, Holy hell, how do you not know? This
Speaker 1: is fake. Now. I've seen some good ones admittedly where
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think that's real and I have to
Speaker 1: really kind of dig down into it, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, if it's not real, that's you guys
Speaker 1: did a very good job. But you know, generally, I
Speaker 1: want it to be on things that are not consequential,
Speaker 1: like do I care that she ruined her couch?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Do I care that she tried to insult my intelligence? Yes?
Speaker 1: And that's where people get upset about this stuff. You
Speaker 1: know what we should task the Europeans with going through
Speaker 1: trying to get to the bottom of it. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't think they have the time.
Speaker 1: No, like just their free time, man, I don't. They
Speaker 1: don't free time. It's so busy, man, they are, they
Speaker 1: are so busy. This map is an endlist is insane. So,
Speaker 1: by the way, the average full time worker in the
Speaker 1: United States, and remember this number got adjusted because of
Speaker 1: what we consider full time actually adjusted has been adjusted
Speaker 1: over the last ten years. That being said, in the
Speaker 1: United States had to look this up because for whatever
Speaker 1: reason it's not in this story is forty three hours,
Speaker 1: all right, So that is good. That is a kind
Speaker 1: And again this can include somebody who holds what is
Speaker 1: a full time job, and then they can also add
Speaker 1: secondary but you're also having to account for people or
Speaker 1: considered full time but are working thirty hours. So this,
Speaker 1: you know, it averages out. But we average on the
Speaker 1: high side there. The only European nation who has a
Speaker 1: higher average workload per week is Turkey, and that is
Speaker 1: primarily because Turkey is agriculture driven. And you'll notice a
Speaker 1: lot of the countries that do have high numbers. It's
Speaker 1: agriculture which tends to have a higher average, and Turkey
Speaker 1: is it. Serbia at forty two, Bosnia forty one. Now
Speaker 1: Greece is at forty. However that is due in large
Speaker 1: part to their fishing industry and military or not military.
Speaker 1: What is the breakdown here? Hold on, they say armed forces,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have to be armed forces. It can
Speaker 1: also be like un kind of thing where Greece has
Speaker 1: a very outsized number there. But Greece, when it comes
Speaker 1: to things like service and sales, clerical support, technical and
Speaker 1: professional jobs, the number is very very low, which is
Speaker 1: why they're talking about going with this six day work week,
Speaker 1: because when it comes to things that are the big
Speaker 1: productive moneymakers, drive GDP for a country Greece has a
Speaker 1: real problem. Will you get over in the European Union
Speaker 1: on the western side of Europe and ain't nobody doing nothing? Okay,
Speaker 1: In fact, let me see what's the Romania is the
Speaker 1: last country in the five spot to average forty hours.
Speaker 1: After that, everything in Europe is less than forty hours
Speaker 1: for your average full time worker. Poland is at thirty nine,
Speaker 1: and the list goes down from there. But let's get
Speaker 1: to the ones that we're making fun of the other
Speaker 1: day where I just I pointed out that these idiots
Speaker 1: over there, Oh crap, I'm sorry, looked at my clock.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. We'll come back get into it.
Speaker 1: This is a Fox News report. Nearly half a million
Speaker 1: working age Massachusetts residents lack English proficiency. I saw the departed.
Speaker 1: It has to be more than that. How many people
Speaker 1: at ross Would you see what the population of Boston
Speaker 1: is and then give me half that number? All right,
Speaker 1: hang on, we're gonna have a more accurate thing. And
Speaker 1: I'm being generous just limiting this to the city of Boston,
Speaker 1: by the way, but you know, we'll go with what
Speaker 1: we know. So, yeah, four hundred and fifty thousand Massachusetts
Speaker 1: residents have limited English proficiency, working age, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: all right, population, Oh Boston.
Speaker 3: An again, population six hundred fifty seven hundred and six.
Speaker 1: Oh, well that's the problem. Boston Metro type Boston Metro
Speaker 1: or actually I can just look it up with the
Speaker 1: on our radio metro dm A or however you want
Speaker 1: a word it. DMA is just a fancy word we
Speaker 1: use for the market. Like you know, Raleigh is not
Speaker 1: just the DMA, Greensboro's not just the DMA. Obviously got
Speaker 1: triangle triads. So justin metro. Well, actually, just what's the
Speaker 1: population of Massachusetts because it's pretty bad everywhere, but I
Speaker 1: don't think most of them were speaking English, especially not
Speaker 1: in and around there. And then have you guys heard
Speaker 1: Boston Paul call in what this is on my never
Speaker 1: any question to crap on Massachusetts for no discernible reason.
Speaker 3: Well, this is four point nine million, all.
Speaker 1: Right, so we'll cut that in half. So yes, it's
Speaker 1: far more than that. Oh this is working age. So
Speaker 1: then you got a go half and then maybe take
Speaker 1: another third off it's still way more. So you know,
Speaker 1: get some some like classes or something up there. Have
Speaker 1: you guys thought about that, learned to speak English. I
Speaker 1: don't know it would be helpful. It's very helpful in
Speaker 1: this country. I know you're not supposed to say that, hey,
Speaker 1: it would be very helpful learn to speak English, but
Speaker 1: it is. If any country you move to, you should
Speaker 1: probably probably get a minimal proficiency with whatever. The standard
Speaker 1: language is.
Speaker 3: Always confusing to me, Like, I don't know why you
Speaker 3: would move somewhere and not want to learn the language.
Speaker 3: Like to me, it would seem like a very essential
Speaker 3: thing to learn, right, Like if I Italy, it should
Speaker 3: probably learn Italian.
Speaker 1: Let me let me let me tell you how much
Speaker 1: better my travels have been in Latin American countries since
Speaker 1: I started to learn Spanish. And even though I don't
Speaker 1: speak it very well, I understand and read it great.
Speaker 1: And it's like this weird thing. And I got buddies
Speaker 1: who have done this and it that is so useful
Speaker 1: just going to a Mexican restaurant. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying That you don't necessarily need to have that,
Speaker 1: but it's so helpful in so many different ways, especially
Speaker 1: what they do. When I was in Colombia, almost nobody
Speaker 1: speaks English and Colombia unless you're in a tourist area.
Speaker 1: So whereas some countries you go, you go to Mexico,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of English, a lot of Central America,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people learn English because they have
Speaker 1: a lot of call centers and stuff that serve the US.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, why would you not want to? And
Speaker 1: why wouldn't the residents of Boston want to? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's very strange to me. So sorry, just one of
Speaker 1: these things I saw scanning the New York Post. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, somebody sent me this, So I got
Speaker 1: a new cure for baldness. They're screwing, They're just messing
Speaker 1: with people at this point, come on, a new solution
Speaker 1: to the bitter luck of baldness. Scientists say that male
Speaker 1: pattern baldness may be able to be cured by are
Speaker 1: you ready, drum roll, please rubbing sugar paste on your head.
Speaker 1: They're screwing, they're messing with you. They're if you believe that,
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that I we just done
Speaker 1: our own research. We just double blind and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: very good pure reviews. I had Ross ree you know,
Speaker 1: run it so and he's my pure It works best
Speaker 1: in the woods generally the more mountainous and remote, the better.
Speaker 1: You want to rub the sugar paste all over your
Speaker 1: head and then not hang your food up and maybe
Speaker 1: like cook some food and then but have the sugar paste,
Speaker 1: and you'll be cured of worrying about your baldness very quickly,
Speaker 1: because they will literally scalp you the bears or near
Speaker 1: the beehive. So and then you can have a head
Speaker 1: full of bees and just be like, no, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my new look. This wild people buying this stuff. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: absolutely no, I just got no. It's the path the
Speaker 1: male pattern baldness. The cure is to rub sugar paste.
Speaker 1: This brought to you by the sugar industry. I'm here
Speaker 1: to tell you it only works in the middle of
Speaker 1: the woods. Yeah what is this?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I know somebody to send me a list
Speaker 1: of all the things that's been So are you bald?
Speaker 5: Sir?
Speaker 1: Guy? Who just send me the email? And do you
Speaker 1: just whenever you hear one of these, I guess there's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. I guess you're not losing anything rubbing sugar
Speaker 1: paste on your head. You're out some sugar and some
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you thicken it.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: I guess you use cornstarch or something. But I heard the.
Speaker 3: Best thing was he wanted to buy a Hayes for
Speaker 3: share of a T shirt. Really you put it right
Speaker 3: there like a do ragged, just moving and like your
Speaker 3: hair will grow like get yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are Brett Michaels. There's a reason they wear those, right.
Speaker 1: It does because it looks bad ass, right or or
Speaker 1: people don't think you're bald anymore is another theory that's
Speaker 1: out there. I've heard about both.
Speaker 3: Because you lift so much, you got your sweat profusely
Speaker 3: and it helps, you know, pick up the sweat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you should use steroids too, because that does
Speaker 1: not at all cause hair loss massively and is a thing.
Speaker 1: So all right, well, who am I to argue? Did
Speaker 1: you do a study?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's peer reviewed.
Speaker 1: I can't argue with that. It's now that I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my, my, my peer Harbinger fifty also from Twitch
Speaker 3: reviewed the study.
Speaker 1: Wait he's bald.
Speaker 3: He's bald, right, I mean that's your opinion.
Speaker 1: It's he has his picture and then he photoed. He
Speaker 1: photoshopped himself on your fake beer or something? Was that him?
Speaker 1: That's beer?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: He he photoshopped himself. He would be high. It would
Speaker 1: be taller than two cars stacked together. He didn't even
Speaker 1: do a good job. You're telling me that's the dude
Speaker 1: who peer reviewed it.
Speaker 3: It's a triple reviewed.
Speaker 1: Who's the other one?
Speaker 3: Hugs TV?
Speaker 1: They're huggs okay whatever? And then Kylon News, is that
Speaker 1: where he's off today?
Speaker 3: Peer reviewed?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not just on vacation. I heard he's not
Speaker 1: here this this week, So I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: this is pretty sketch. Now, sometimes sometimes on the on
Speaker 1: New York Post, they do have properly researched in peer
Speaker 1: reviewed stuff. This from the Journal of Psychosexual Health. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you all subscribe. A new study says that women
Speaker 1: can live longer if they are willing to commit to
Speaker 1: a minimum of one but on average one and a half.
Speaker 1: So I guess through the month six Whoopee sessions to
Speaker 1: go seventies game show on you. It's it's right here.
Speaker 1: It says women aged twenty to fifty nine who do
Speaker 1: not get at least one and a half sessions in
Speaker 1: per week, so averaging six per month, have a seventy
Speaker 1: percent increase of what is known as all cause mortality
Speaker 1: an earlier death. So, ladies, if you want to live longer,
Speaker 1: researchers at the University of Walden, which is in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: analyze national Health and Nutrition examination data, put it next
Speaker 1: to surveys and found this very important thing. So look,
Speaker 1: it's not us, Okay, it's not for us. It's for
Speaker 1: you because we care about you so and we hate
Speaker 1: to see that. You know, that headache that you have,
Speaker 1: the thing where you dot that's probably because of and
Speaker 1: you're just perpetuating it. So I would encourage you to
Speaker 1: check the research here. And this isn't some weird Bangladesh university.
Speaker 1: This is this is you're in the.
Speaker 3: United It's also peer reviewed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, peer reviewed right there.
Speaker 3: One and a half though, is like it's a weird number.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, they're just saying you have to have that.
Speaker 3: Would that would suck?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah? Yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah right yeah, don't
Speaker 1: take that. Well, it depends who's done. I'm sorry that's
Speaker 1: going in the direction I didn't want it to, but
Speaker 1: I what is a half really? I mean again, it's
Speaker 1: for ladies, it's for your health, and we just want
Speaker 1: to pass because I want you. I want my listeners
Speaker 1: to live as long as possible, so that you keep
Speaker 1: listening and help. And the man in your life he
Speaker 1: does too. It's part of his basic chauvinistic nature, is
Speaker 1: what you know. The people at the Kamala Harrison would
Speaker 1: probably tell you, but it's not it's it's it's caring
Speaker 1: because we care, because that's what good men do. Eight
Speaker 1: forty four raced Agic is here. You have thoughts on
Speaker 1: that study, sirh I bet you don't.
Speaker 6: Know what's the side and well now called yeah side
Speaker 6: behind everything right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And also some idiot says if you rub sugar paste
Speaker 1: on your head, it'll cure baldness. So I was showing
Speaker 1: the difference between real science and not real science. I
Speaker 1: encourage anyone who believes that to do it in the woods.
Speaker 1: So nobody here, yeah, well, no bears like to rip
Speaker 1: your scalp off from the Oh yeah that too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now you're not bald technically anymore because you can't grow here.
Speaker 1: All right, what's what's going on, sir uh?
Speaker 6: Well, speaking of coming out of the woods, coming out
Speaker 6: of the mountains, a big area of rain and thunderstorms
Speaker 6: now getting into Johnson County, Carter County, and just west
Speaker 6: of Ashville, and heading east now weakening a bit, but
Speaker 6: still some stronger storms with wind and thunder and lightning
Speaker 6: and heavy rainfall.
Speaker 1: You're gonna hit Boone, isna. Yeah? Actually, oh man, I
Speaker 1: hope it doesn't destroy something there that suck anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Yeah, Well, it may be in Boone right now. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's pretty close to it, yes, And it is coming
Speaker 6: east and it's gonna hold together here for a bit
Speaker 6: and get into the triad here Wilkes County into Cadwell
Speaker 6: Alexander County first and then roll east.
Speaker 1: It'll probably week.
Speaker 6: In a bit, but still over the next couple hours
Speaker 6: in through early afternoon and then spreading east across the
Speaker 6: triangle as they'll rain and thunderstorms and probably weak in
Speaker 6: a bit as these systems usually do that come from
Speaker 6: the overnight hours. And then we'll still continue to see
Speaker 6: a threat for some showers thunderstorms later today. So this
Speaker 6: kind of cluster will come through last hour or two
Speaker 6: and then end, and then later this afternoon there may
Speaker 6: not be much rain left at all, and it'll end
Speaker 6: from obviously west to east, since it's coming in for
Speaker 6: the west still in the mid upper eighties today. Then
Speaker 6: we'll start hitting ninety tomorrow, low to mid nineties for
Speaker 6: the rest of the week, maybe the upper nineties of
Speaker 6: the triangle later in the week with the heat and
Speaker 6: Desea's going above one hundred. So we're gonna lose on
Speaker 6: what's been a very wet July, and as we get
Speaker 6: into August. I think we'll get hotter, the humidity is
Speaker 6: gonna stay and probably see less rain, but it heads up.
Speaker 6: This rain coming in here in the next couple hours.
Speaker 6: Try it first, and eventually the Triangle will have some
Speaker 6: impacts with the heavy rain and maybe some gusty wins.
Speaker 6: Some of these storms were warned on they were severe
Speaker 6: storms earlier. Let's see if there's any warnings left now,
Speaker 6: no warnings, but certainly could have some heavier downpours and
Speaker 6: some strong wins holding their intensity at least briefly here
Speaker 6: as we had toward lunchtime.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds better. And what's going on in Rhode
Speaker 1: Island with the locusts, So we're good there. All right,
