WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.599 Two things happened over the weekend simultaneously in just a moment. 2 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.519 Arguably three things happened in a moment, but it was 3 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.559 the beginning of the journey for the third thing. So 4 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.000 the first was I'm on Twitter, mine of my own business. 5 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.440 You may call it X whatever I got. I've decided 6 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.839 I'm old enough. And a Supreme Court decision came down 7 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:32.920 with Twitter in the name even after the change, so 8 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:38.600 I'm correct. Check the case law. Two things happened. One 9 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.880 I laid eyes upon the libs of blue Sky account 10 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.840 and followed so fast. This was an easier follow than 11 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.960 what's his bucket back in my space days. I can't 12 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.359 remember what his name look at that it's already been usurped, right, 13 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.600 you just follow that, dude, Just this this guy to 14 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.960 computer looks nice enough. Follow that libs a blue Sky 15 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.880 on it too? So mad We didn't think of it, 16 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:09.480 stephf Ross, How did we miss this man? That's gonna 17 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.640 be a that person's that's a million dollar idea. It's 18 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.640 her right, Libs of TikTok, check I think it is 19 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.879 and immediately starts delivering. And then the third thing that 20 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.560 happened once I saw that it existed and immediately followed that. 21 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.120 But two kicked myself for not thinking of it. Three, 22 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.840 I lost half a day. I don't know where it went. 23 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.840 So I'm gonna warn you before you click on the 24 00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.920 Libs of Blue Sky account there and start scrolling through, 25 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.079 make sure you got nothing on your calendar that day, 26 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.079 at least for a few hours, cause you're gonna deep 27 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.400 dive that bad boy Ross. You don't tend to fall 28 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.480 into holes over the weekend of news and pop culture, 29 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.560 tend to separate yourself. We're gonna have a conversation about 30 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.519 some Ross is doing this morning. But had you fancied 31 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.159 by the old libs of Blue Sky account this week? 32 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.159 I have, and thus far I haven't been as impressed 33 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:09.240 as the low. 34 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.439 No no, no, no. It's it's gonna take some time, 35 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.120 but because you gotta we you know, you gotta you 36 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.919 gotta digest everything over there. But as it gets a 37 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.879 fan base, inevitably, how those accounts are successful. Kicks in 38 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.599 the trick is you're doing all the work right. So 39 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.879 and I don't begrudge the business model, but you need minions. 40 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.960 You need people to go through stuff, and once you 41 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.680 get people inspired, then they're gonna go over to Blue Sky. 42 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.400 They're gonna you know, stick their toe in the chummy 43 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:51.199 murky waters, and the cream as it is, will start 44 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.759 to rise, and I think the account will improve greatly. 45 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.479 I did think it was funny that I was reading 46 00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.199 how they've they've been inundated with all these complaints over. 47 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.840 No. No, would it be with what the servers crashing or. 48 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.360 The No, it's where you people when you report people 49 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.000 for like content that you believe is like inappropriate or 50 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:14.680 like bad, like like fact checking people. 51 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.520 So like wait, wait, wait, what who you're telling me 52 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:23.840 that the people over on Blue Sky are constantly butt 53 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.240 hurt to use a scientific term. A lot of people 54 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:29.439 don't recon it, but hurt. 55 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:30.199 Isn't that weird? 56 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.439 Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. 57 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.479 So it's just all of them. They're in their echo 58 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.319 chamber now because they have like the old sort of 59 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.719 modeling of the old Twitter. Yeah, you can report people 60 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:41.960 and there's all this censorship. 61 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:42.520 Yeah. 62 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.840 Blue Sky was like, yo, y'all need to slow down 63 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.120 because we have there are too many complaints. They're just 64 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.120 like Nazis on each other. Ah. 65 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.960 So it's so weird. You put a lot of people 66 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.280 into a place that I'll have the same kind of 67 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.800 the same mindset. Some would argue, and well, that's what 68 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.879 today shows about. I want to I just I think 69 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:07.080 that some people get caught up in symbolism, their own 70 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:14.319 party stuff, and it fails to recognize what is probably 71 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.240 the intended messaging of so much of this stuff. Yeah, 72 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.279 did people go to Blue Sky as a protest to 73 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.000 you know, what happened and the inability to deal with 74 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.839 information that's not under their control that they can manipulate. Sure, some, 75 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.120 but a lot of people just went over out of curiosity, 76 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.000 just a better way of doing things. Like let me 77 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.959 give you an example. Okay, you ready for this. It 78 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:46.680 would be very easy this morning for me to see 79 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:53.480 Ross wearing that hat to describe it to you. It's 80 00:04:53.560 --> 00:05:00.639 blue primarily, Okay, there are tinges of red, you can 81 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.759 you can see that from even this distance, a little 82 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.199 bit of white. There's a little bit of white on 83 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:13.959 there too. The hat looks worn. That worn is is 84 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.079 and he's wearing it. Obviously he's wearing it. But I 85 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.920 mean us as has always worn it for some time. 86 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.560 As as a as some messaging and symbolism of these 87 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.399 those three colors, primarily the blue with the tinge of 88 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.879 the red and some of the white and on it 89 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:37.759 Americana right, one of the and as somebody who is 90 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.639 a true student of the West, one of the most 91 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:46.519 iconic things that that we utilize as symbolism of expansion 92 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:52.720 and manifest destiny and everything an American bison. Right, It's 93 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.879 got a bison upon it, which, strangely, even though it 94 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.800 you know, it symbolized the expansion of the West. One 95 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.199 they say that one of the largest ranges of the 96 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.680 American bison. I don't know if you knew this at 97 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.040 the time this country was colonized Florida actually, and in fact, 98 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.759 the term cowboy actually is a derivative of names that 99 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.079 were to be utilized in the state of Florida, as 100 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.319 it was essentially a large it was like Texas, it 101 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.040 was a large cattle plantation at the time. And so 102 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:31.879 with that symbolism upon his head, I see Ross's full 103 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:40.079 throat and endorsement of American expansionism, the ideal of the West, 104 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.879 without dealing with the realities of it. As somebody whose 105 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.240 family did deal with the realities of it, I can 106 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.160 I think speak to that in journals that we have 107 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.079 and things that we know and might misinterpret that as 108 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.600 some sort of I don't know, picking aside, so to speak, 109 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:03.879 perhaps in a pugilistleton's sport like football or something. Some 110 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.959 would see that, but I don't see that, because I 111 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.879 am a learned journalist in the same way that I 112 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.120 see this article from w R E. L entitled Chapel 113 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:18.720 Hill banner sparks outrage among Jewish community over kaifa yah? 114 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.879 Is it? Is it coffee? Yeah? Kafifia? I don't whatever. Symbolism. 115 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:31.000 So basically a banner that's displayed that as a student, 116 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.240 a graduating student of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, 117 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:42.800 adorned in those colors of you know, white and blue, right, 118 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.839 that that in a particular patternattern a pattern so particular. 119 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:54.439 I might point out that it is copyright in countries 120 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.480 that will allow it. It's, as you know, for monetary purposes. 121 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.160 The actual assembly and symbolism of those colors in this painting, 122 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.959 some would say, appears to show an affinity for like 123 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.399 I don't know, hamas or something and uh. And then 124 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.959 the title of the piece, which the artist describes as 125 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:25.040 and I'm quoting here quote the image of a graduate 126 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:31.079 adorned with their blue cap and gown definitely defiantly protesting. 127 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.639 Those two words are in there end quote. Some would 128 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.399 interpret I I will not allow you to interpret as that, 129 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.159 because I'm ri l I am learned, I am smart. 130 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.279 I am here for journalistic reasons, and that's of course 131 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.759 not what it means, not from the river to the sea. 132 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:55.799 In the same way that Ross's hat is simply Americana 133 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.679 in a hat, not picking a side in this this 134 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:04.679 this pugelist simpleton sport of football, but rather just a 135 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.639 fan of the game, and in this case the game 136 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.240 the expansion and establishment and flourishing of the US Empire. 137 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.279 Is that what you mean by that Ross with the. 138 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.399 I'm sorry, all those words put me to sleep. What 139 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.600 I'm sorry, But that's what your hat means, right, I 140 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:25.799 know it's a Bill's had Bills fan, go Bills, but 141 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.000 the but the Bison. But I also believe in manifest 142 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.639 destiny and the conquering of this landsage. 143 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.399 Oh okay, all right, all right, all right, all right. 144 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:33.480 I mean both can be true. 145 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.879 I'm I'm I'm at a loss here, So you're what 146 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:46.080 you're telling me is that that hat I should have 147 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.120 known that it symbolizes your affinity for in fact, a 148 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:54.360 particular pugilist endeavor, in this case that of the city 149 00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:01.480 of Buffalo, New York. That's that's okay, all right. Who's 150 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.480 writing stuff over there? Is it dumb ai or is 151 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.440 it act? Because they don't even have a byline on 152 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.519 this thing. I swear to God, the byline on this 153 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.200 is just titled WRL Staff. 154 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:14.879 So let me figure this out. So that you have 155 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:16.759 somebody over there Chapel Hill who put up like a 156 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.799 pro Hamas flag and they're trying to say that it's 157 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.159 not pro Hamas well. 158 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.480 No, No, it's an artist that has put a thing on 159 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.320 at the old post office, which is a place that 160 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.320 is literally about putting protest stuff up, and in it 161 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.000 it depicts a person graduating but also wearing this thing, 162 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:40.279 but also not really graduating more protesting. And some because 163 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.080 of the color pattern, the color and pattern which again 164 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:51.039 is copyright protected in many municipalities as the official logoing 165 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.799 and specifically the political stuff for Hamas, some are trying 166 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.600 to say that the artist might have been sending one 167 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:03.120 of those from the River to the Sea messages in there, 168 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.360 and WRIL just want to make sure people didn't get 169 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:06.039 that idea. 170 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.679 Right, but sometimes right the thing means the thing? 171 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.639 Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, but so what is your 172 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.120 thing mean? Does it mean? I don't know a person 173 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.279 who's just like gonna put it all on their shoulders 174 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.720 and go, you know what, thirty yards I got that, 175 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.840 watch out everybody, that type of manifest destiny or would 176 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:35.039 it be the raping and pillaging of the continent by Whitey? 177 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:36.639 So is it? 178 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.360 I've already said I'm for manifest destiny, the conquering of 179 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.080 this land and the Buffalo bills, because you know, the 180 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.120 greatest country ever made. 181 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.600 Let me do you know what turned me on a lot? 182 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.240 I shouldn't say turned me in a lot of it 183 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:52.639 as somebody who makes a good faith effort to try 184 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:57.519 to fully understand history, and and poor Ross got waterboarded 185 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.000 with this info. But I just there was a time 186 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.720 I was touring as you know, Oh wait, hold on, 187 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:10.639 true Americana. No, that's why. Now, look, I have some 188 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:16.600 other fans of people, also floating red, white, and blue 189 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:21.559 motifs who call themselves patriots. And that's fine, that's fine. 190 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.759 This is why I don't think it's fair to sit 191 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:31.440 here and decide that a single bit of imagery artist 192 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.799 imagery in fact, is sending a message, even though really, 193 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.960 if you're a student of art, you realize that the 194 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.759 imagery you do notice, and the imagery that sometimes we 195 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.840 only notice hundreds of years later, was intentional by the 196 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:51.639 artists to send a specific message in imagery. That's why 197 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.240 I'm attempting not to complate these two things. So if 198 00:12:55.279 --> 00:13:00.519 you're offended, I apologize. But Ross's hat is what did 199 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:05.320 it because it's a very neutral statement there so, good 200 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.360 for you, good for you not to break in the 201 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.960 fourth wall there so, And I'm sorry other fans, but 202 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.000 but let's face it, I think that Hack covers it 203 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:18.600 based on the results here. Like some would say, if 204 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.639 you want to symbolize greatness and power and all that, 205 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.120 you might symbolize someone or something who conquered something that 206 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.960 had previously been unconquered. Right, isn't that what manifest Destiny 207 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.120 was about, the expansion into the west of lands unknown? 208 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:38.440 So if perhaps maybe you were to go and meet 209 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:43.799 a foe that had never lost, the David and Goliath 210 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:49.120 of our time, some people might want to Anyway, Dude, 211 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.440 that was the greatest run I've seen a quarterback do, 212 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:52.720 probably in forever. 213 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.440 We're not talking about football this year, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, no, No, 214 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.279 I'm talking about human ever, the body, yeah right right 215 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.440 right yeah yeah, but where you just like the fighting 216 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.960 human spirit. Yes right, you're just saying, oh Choctaw warrior, No, 217 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.399 I got you. And oh the French coming out for Nope, 218 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.799 no juke, oh you Oh look at you Spain holding 219 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:19.679 out even after the purchase. Boom. 220 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.240 I'm just gonna levitate over you. I'm gonna come up 221 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:27.480 standing after scoring a thirty yard touchdown in that environment. 222 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:28.679 And to do it in a shotgun and fourth and two. 223 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.120 But we're not talking about football because we don't want 224 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:31.799 to jinx the team. 225 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.080 No, what go No, we're talking about the human spirit, 226 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.360 right yeah so so No, I'm not a pig who 227 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.559 interpreted what you wear upon your head. There is anything 228 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:51.720 but purely a celebration of the human spirit. 229 00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:05.399 Banks left now to gonna run forty stop, We're not 230 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:06.120 let's stop. 231 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.759 Boom right there, Rocky Mountains, Jim Bridge. That had to 232 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.360 be what Jim Bridger heard in his If you if 233 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.240 you're not familiar with Jim Bridger, one of the greatest 234 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.120 people as far as the topography and the mapping and 235 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.600 everything very Lewis and Clark, but doesn't get the recognition 236 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:29.120 he deserves. That's I'm sure what Jim Bridger heard as 237 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:35.440 he for the first time in the in the recorded 238 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:40.720 history of US explorers gazed upon, sketched, and reported on 239 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.720 Glacier National Park, which, if you've ever been there, is 240 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.519 one of the most visually amazing things on the planet. 241 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.360 That's what Jim Bridger heard. I was thinking Lewis and Clark, right, like, 242 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.639 what's over that mount? And look at that? It's Freedom 243 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.240 from Tyranny. 244 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.279 It's fourth and two, though it's fourth Tony's at fourth 245 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:03.519 and two and then boom casinos. Oh, I'm sorry what 246 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.320 Look at that six twenty two here on the oh 247 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.200 right now, Ross has turned off all the lights but 248 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.399 the rest. Oh my gosh, look at that hat, dude, 249 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.840 that looks like imperialism. What is happening? Oh, we'll be back. 250 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.919 I have to explore. Nice discussion there about symbolism and 251 00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.360 what it means and all of those things this morning. 252 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:29.360 Appreciate that with again not everything for you football junkies 253 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.000 sending me all your old You see how my team did? No, 254 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.360 I didn't. I was big. I had better things this 255 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:42.639 weekend to focus on, Like how the Ravens jacked up 256 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.840 a wonderful parlay that I had going on? Are you 257 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.159 kidding me? I just looked. I looked at my the 258 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.080 one dude in our group, Grand I'm like, I just like, 259 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.240 I can't even look at you wearing all of his 260 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.919 stupid Raven stuff because usually that's just a license to 261 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.960 print money there. You should look at the stats. Didn't 262 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.640 have that, and and so that's I just want to 263 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.359 make sure there was no confusion over what was going on, 264 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.279 like like with the the little post game with the 265 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.640 Raiders player little brock Bauers action. Did you guys see that? 266 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:21.319 So yeah, they look Did they have a good game altogether? No, 267 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.839 not really, they lost. They just they're like any other team. 268 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.279 They just got the big new stadium and stadium deals 269 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.279 so they don't have to try for a while. Fans 270 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.599 are going to come anyway. You're seeing it there in Vegas. 271 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.839 But uh no, brock Bowers decided to go a little different. 272 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:39.519 So he's the tight end, if you don't know, for 273 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:46.400 the Raiders, and he caught he caught a twenty three 274 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:51.400 yard pass. Decided to do a little celebrating, and he 275 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.680 did the thing after this where he, you know, put 276 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.039 his two hands up in the air and started shaking 277 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.480 his body back and forth. And that made Safia Dean 278 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:07.079 from USA Today very upset. He was big mad. And 279 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.920 so here's his tweet. Ask Brock Bowers about his TD selly, 280 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.839 which he refers to as the Trump TD selly. Apparently 281 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.799 there's some similarities when you put your two hands out. 282 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.079 So if you just for a moment this morning, just 283 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.839 visualize stand there, take your two arms, put them up 284 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.960 like you're going whoa stop, but instead clench your hands 285 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:32.359 and then, in rhythmic motion back and forth, alternating, you 286 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.799 put one hand forward and back and then rinse and repeat. There, 287 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.039 Saphie Dean over at USA Today saw what he thought 288 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:46.880 might be an acknowledgment of Trump's existence, and he just couldn't. 289 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.119 And so in the postgame, when they bring Bowers up 290 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.000 to answer questions about like why did you do that 291 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:55.599 thing after you got the touchdown even though you guys 292 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:01.799 didn't win, Why would you do that? And his response was, quote, 293 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.359 I've seen everyone do it. I watched the UFC fight 294 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.039 last night, John Jones did it. I like watching UFC 295 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.359 so I saw it and thought it was cool and 296 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.359 then proceeded to do it. At which point, and I'm 297 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.200 not making this up, the pr people for the Raiders 298 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.880 stopped his media avail to get another player, like, all right, 299 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.920 that's enough from Brock, Let's get somebody else in there. 300 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.720 And Saphie Dean from USA today is just left seething 301 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.400 over this. 302 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.920 So it was a good weekend. I appreciate that from 303 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.119 the busy bodies over there. Oh how dare you? 304 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.720 You know why? Hours in spite of his team losing. 305 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.240 And we can argue whether you should celebrate on an 306 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:50.160 individual standpoint, the reason that Brock Bauers was celebrating as 307 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.839 a young player is he had thirteen catches. He's on 308 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:59.720 my fantasy tea one hundred and twenty six yards and 309 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.559 and had never been that good in an individual game 310 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:12.559 in his NFL career. So yes, we can debate celebrating 311 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.319 when when the team's not winning. But now we're in 312 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:17.640 the aftermath, and at the time he did it, he 313 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.519 was in the moment and he had with the game 314 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.519 he was having, he probably had every thought that his 315 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.240 team was going to be victorious, So that's why he celebrated. 316 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:34.839 Saphi Dean, who is who is literally tasked by the 317 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.960 second largest circuit might be the largest circulation in the 318 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:43.559 United States of papers. And you're hired to be an 319 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:51.960 NFL reporter and you can't understand that. It's almost as 320 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.839 if you were not hired for your NFL reporting chops, 321 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.599 but rather your ability to go in and just ruin 322 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:03.920 everyone's day with this crap. So really appreciate that. All right, 323 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.000 So there's your football, but not really football, more of 324 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:09.640 a bigger, broader discussion about how smart we are in 325 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:14.960 the media, you know. Roundup. I hope you all appreciate that. 326 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.799 Who we got tonight, Oh, that's right, it's the Cowgirls 327 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:23.240 and the other Texas team. I don't know. I don't know. 328 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:30.400 By the way, I think that Houston can cover just 329 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.480 my two cents. But hey, you know, I would never 330 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.000 give you a betting advice, but things get a little crazy. 331 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.319 I think Houston's actually a better team that people give 332 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.359 them credit for anyway, all right? Eight eight eight nine 333 00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:46.559 three four seven eight seven four Wait, hold on, I 334 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.519 hope people are sending me they're like, oh, but what 335 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:50.920 about some of the other teams. I'm just it's not 336 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:55.319 about teams. People, I'm talking about the stories that unite us, 337 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.599 and not the affinities for individual teams that divide us. 338 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.640 In the same way that rel was able to look 339 00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:05.160 past this artist rendition of what is clearly hamas gear 340 00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:09.400 and pretend like that is not an endorsement of From 341 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.799 the River to the Sea ideology, we're able to able 342 00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:17.559 to get past that. What is this patriot really? 343 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.599 Patriots fans you want me to bring you want to 344 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:25.079 bring that up. I wouldn't do that to you. 345 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:32.279 You're welcome. Also, the Lions are terrifying. I want nothing 346 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:35.440 to do with that. Fifty two six against the Jags? 347 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:41.720 Are you kidding me? Donny Ross my greatest nightmare, and 348 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.160 the only reason that I don't worry about it too 349 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:46.720 much is I don't think I feel like the universe 350 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:50.759 won't allow it. And that's Bill's Vikings super Bowl Man 351 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.920 every day because I'm just looking at the NFC and 352 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:58.599 other other than the Lions, I think I think the Vikings, 353 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.319 in any situation, if they would actually show up, could 354 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:07.799 beat him, and that includes against the Eagles man. But 355 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.319 Ross doesn't. He doesn't have time for such childish endeavors. 356 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:17.599 So let us pivot and as we pivot, we got 357 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.880 to talk about the Michael Browning going on with this 358 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.599 officer involved shooting at the food line, which is a 359 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.359 tragic situation, regardless of where you land with us, that 360 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.559 a police officer who yes, signed up to use his gun, 361 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:35.920 I understand all of these things, but doesn't want to 362 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:39.559 and sure as hell doesn't want to against a sixteen 363 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:43.160 year old, not that he might have any knowledge that 364 00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.319 that's a sixteen year old, but rather just somebody who 365 00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.599 clearly presents as an adult male who might be raising 366 00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:54.119 a firearm at them. And we got body cam galore 367 00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:59.119 on this stuff. It's a tragedy for the family of 368 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:01.759 and it's a tragedy for the officer and the officers 369 00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:05.240 family who maybe have never had to discharge a weapon 370 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:12.240 and in this case did not kill the suspect but 371 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:16.640 got them. And now we're going to have the great 372 00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:22.799 re revisioning of apparently how this was approached. So yeah, 373 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:24.720 well we'll go ahead get into that. We'll do it 374 00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:28.119 next here on the CaCO Day radio program, Biden gives 375 00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:33.279 Zelensky green light to fire long range American missiles into Russia. 376 00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.559 So in the same way that we played the Anthony 377 00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.720 Blinkin audio for you, infect do I still have that 378 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:43.400 other button? Bar? I'm sorry, Ross, would you put mister 379 00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:47.559 Anthony Blinkin up there again from Friday talking about all 380 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.119 this extra money we got laying around so in in 381 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.640 in the same way that the Biden administration is sitting 382 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.240 there and they're looking at all, right, what do we 383 00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:01.240 do between now and January twentieth. That is a provocation. 384 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:08.359 And yes, I understand it's not us flying firing those missiles, 385 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:13.880 but one, there are missiles, and granted we've sold them 386 00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:18.559 or given them or rented them, however you wish to 387 00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:23.279 look at it, but it is it is a potential 388 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.759 risk in a provocation because, let's face it, this is 389 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.279 a proxy war. I've told you this entire time. I 390 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.640 understand the logic of getting other people to go die. 391 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.880 In further, it's to fighting somebody who, if given the opportunity, 392 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:46.079 is very much our enemy. And that but that's if 393 00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:49.799 you divorce yourself from the morality is surrounding it. 394 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.920 So a calculated risk is a calculated risk. 395 00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:59.079 And escalation here. But I think what they're hoping is 396 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:01.319 that as soon as they are doing that, they go, well, 397 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:05.480 look now, you know, now they're annihilating homes in Russia. 398 00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:09.240 You're really bringing the war home. But from what I 399 00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:13.920 gather within Russian society, they're very aware of this, which 400 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.119 is why you had a mass exodus of military age 401 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:21.400
