Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: Obviously a little break in the action there for Monday,
Speaker 2: as it was a holiday, and.
Speaker 1: Even though somebody you were like, yeah, well Casey, you
Speaker 1: and Ross just had a week off. Oh jeez, am
Speaker 1: I gonna sneeze this morning? Really we're gonna do this?
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Oh hope, I turned that awful lot. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, sorry about that.
Speaker 2: Never does it Like before the show and I'm said,
Speaker 2: they're talking to Ross, It's like, well wait for him
Speaker 2: to start talking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're gonna do. So well done.
Speaker 2: No three day weekend there, so uh, you know, we're back.
Speaker 2: We got everything kind of compacted into four days, but
Speaker 2: we'll make it happen. It'll be okay.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I hope everybody had a productive amount of time off,
Speaker 2: got something accomplished. If you if you, you know, if
Speaker 2: you celebrated or at least recognized, that's good as well.
Speaker 1: Ross. Do you guys have a good weekend? You and
Speaker 1: the fam? Yeah? Man, it was enjoyable. Yes, did you.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just just like a second ago when
Speaker 1: you sneeze, and I'm not saying the sneeze caused it,
Speaker 1: but my speakers were already on the fritz, and I
Speaker 1: think they just like blew out oh no, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: like you sneezed and there was this loud popping sound
Speaker 1: and now they both went mute and.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's probably something that should make speakers not work.
Speaker 1: So that's fun, okay.
Speaker 2: But otherwise, it was a good Africa Day holiday for
Speaker 2: you and the family. I'm sorry it was it what
Speaker 2: the Africa Day holiday weekend? You guys, I was unaware
Speaker 2: that was the thing. You didn't put the inflated you
Speaker 2: didn't put the African Day inflatables out.
Speaker 1: I'm so confused.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're big inflatables guy. You got yeah, one for
Speaker 2: every season here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know we got the inflatable BUCkies for
Speaker 1: what did you say, Africa Day? Yeah, for at the
Speaker 1: African Day weekend holiday? Do you mean Memorial Day? It
Speaker 1: was a Memorial Day. I'm sorry the what day? Memorial Day?
Speaker 1: I'm not is that a thing? Is that a Canadian thing?
Speaker 1: I'm not a fool. I know it was Africa Day
Speaker 1: because I saw the Mayor of Chicago. In fact, here
Speaker 1: we are. Hello.
Speaker 3: I am Mayor Brandon Johnson, and I am proud to
Speaker 3: join you in recognizing and celebrating Africa Day.
Speaker 1: Okay, the continent of Africa is made up.
Speaker 3: Of one point two billion people with diverse countries full
Speaker 3: of rich traditions, cultures, and heritage. The African diaspora can
Speaker 3: be found in cities and countries around the globe and
Speaker 3: right here in Chicago, our proud African communities have made
Speaker 3: indelible contributions to the growth and fabric of.
Speaker 1: Our amazing city.
Speaker 3: So this Africa Day, let us take a moment to
Speaker 3: celebrate the achievements of the people of Africa, the progress
Speaker 3: made by African nations, and the traditions and culture they
Speaker 3: have shared with us. And let us also show them
Speaker 3: that we will embrace and support them as they continue
Speaker 3: to overcome and face their challenges head on. Thank you
Speaker 3: and Happy Africa Day everyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know that got to you, you and yours.
Speaker 2: That is the mayor of Chicago, the third largest city
Speaker 2: in the United States, honoring what matters this weekend Africa Day.
Speaker 2: That's why I asked if you had a good Africa Day.
Speaker 2: Does it make sense?
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not really, but did they put it on
Speaker 1: Memorial Day? Like did they come up with this new holiday?
Speaker 2: And you know, there's so many days to go around,
Speaker 2: bro right, you got to remember that, right, all right?
Speaker 2: So the so the Jesus people, they you know, they
Speaker 2: snagged a few some of the spring, some of the
Speaker 2: some of the winter. LGBT took like half the calendar,
Speaker 2: you know what. I'm driving out like you're running out
Speaker 2: of days.
Speaker 1: No, And they did it previously in the Biden administration
Speaker 1: where they made the trans Day of Awareness on Easter. Correct. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: it just seems they always picked like days that already
Speaker 1: or so like big known holidays and to place their
Speaker 1: own sort of holiday there, like you could pick another day. Okay.
Speaker 2: Did you know that today is both National Great Popsicle.
Speaker 1: Day, right? You know yeah, so I was thinking about.
Speaker 2: This and also it's like something strudal day and you
Speaker 2: like that strut shake things right, I was saying, like
Speaker 2: I was thinking before, like you know, there's different celebrations,
Speaker 2: are quote holidays for every day like the ones that
Speaker 2: you just mentioned, or you know, National Biscuit Day or
Speaker 2: National Wine Day or whatever.
Speaker 1: It is a Great Popsicle Day. Yeah, Let's be honest,
Speaker 1: it's not really like a holiday or day off if
Speaker 1: unless we get it off. If it's a paid day off,
Speaker 1: then it's like an official holiday. Otherwise it's just like
Speaker 1: a Today's cake day, like it doesn't really mean anything. So,
Speaker 1: but they're Good Friday.
Speaker 2: Would you say Good Friday is a real holiday, a
Speaker 2: real day of remembrance anyway? Uh, yes, okay, but we
Speaker 2: worked on Good Friday, yes, which I well, I am
Speaker 2: a firm believer that I believe that. You know, it's
Speaker 2: weird to me that we don't get the Easter holidays off.
Speaker 2: It's super weird. Yeah, it is weird mm hmm. And
Speaker 2: it's not just our company, it's a lot of company.
Speaker 2: I don't understand that, right, and so.
Speaker 1: We don't technically get Africa Day off. It's just so weird.
Speaker 1: They why are they choosing this day?
Speaker 2: Like I just again, they just run out of I
Speaker 2: think they just ran out of days.
Speaker 1: So you don't think there's any spite there. There's not
Speaker 1: an ulterior.
Speaker 2: To land on Memorial Day of the day that we
Speaker 2: on or not necessarily just people who serve with people
Speaker 2: who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Yeah, yeah, that is weird
Speaker 2: of all the days, because there are other days you
Speaker 2: can double up, you know what I'm saying, Probably go
Speaker 2: ahead and double them up like Labor Day. I think
Speaker 2: less people would be offended if he doubled up Labor Day. Right,
Speaker 2: maybe make that Africa Day. But you know, sometimes these things,
Speaker 2: you know, nothing is in a vacuum. Sometimes you just
Speaker 2: throw darts at a calendar and then there you go
Speaker 2: where it landed.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna have to do. So say, I
Speaker 1: don't think there's nothing weird about the communist mayor of
Speaker 1: Chicago just picking Africa Day to do it on Memorial Day?
Speaker 1: Was it on Memorial Day or.
Speaker 2: Was it like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was the
Speaker 2: same day again, darts dark board.
Speaker 1: You never know, things happen. So so I got to
Speaker 1: break out my inflatable Egyptian pyramids. Yeah yea y yeah.
Speaker 1: And the best part about the inflatable Egyptian lawn pyramids
Speaker 1: is I can slowly build them up until the Christmas holiday,
Speaker 1: like I can progress it slowly. Yeah. So, I mean
Speaker 1: there's a theme there so to all go together.
Speaker 2: And and and there's tunnels under your inflatables. Those inflatables come,
Speaker 2: they're very very interesting. They have tunnels underneath them that
Speaker 2: we can see but we can never explore. R Maybe
Speaker 2: one day, don't you dare dig there, right, because the
Speaker 2: dude from the show on History Channel that's now the
Speaker 2: Doctor whatever, he'll get very mad at you, zorry.
Speaker 1: Doctor Zoari.
Speaker 2: Does not once you digging down there, does not even
Speaker 2: really like questions about it. And that's important to understand,
Speaker 2: all right. Anyway, six thirteen, I hope everyone else had
Speaker 2: a productive Africa Day holiday weekend. Just wanted you to
Speaker 2: want to know that we remember, we remember, and we
Speaker 2: honor these things. All right, coming up on the show,
Speaker 2: we got all sorts of other insanity to get with
Speaker 2: you on We're gonna have Cassie Clark on the show
Speaker 2: that'll be an eight oh five today. She said, Hey,
Speaker 2: do you want to talk about cyberstock? And I'm like, great,
Speaker 2: do we get to cybersox somebody on the show live?
Speaker 1: That'll be amazing.
Speaker 2: But apparently it's about like she testified at the at
Speaker 2: the General Assembly about maybe how we should just be
Speaker 2: able to swat people on the Internet who have different
Speaker 2: political opinions and maybe there should be.
Speaker 1: A way to deal with that.
Speaker 2: So I wildly misunderstood what she hoped to accomplish. So
Speaker 2: I don't know that we will be cyberstocking people, but
Speaker 2: we will talk about it and how in practice it
Speaker 2: works and or it really doesn't work here in North Carolina.
Speaker 2: So apparently when she had some opinions online, people also
Speaker 2: were like, Hey, what if we continually ordered pizza or
Speaker 2: wherever you and your kids are to let you know
Speaker 2: that we know where you are.
Speaker 1: Because you have a different opinion than us.
Speaker 2: Or have we sending the SWAT team to your house
Speaker 2: telling them that there's a rape, murder, kidnapping and because
Speaker 2: you have a different opinion than us. And she's like,
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because I got kids and stuff.
Speaker 2: So we'll go ahead. We'll go ahead and talk about
Speaker 2: that at eight oh five, coming up a little later
Speaker 2: in the show. Plus we've got other general insanity, but
Speaker 2: right now we got a break, So six fifteen, hang
Speaker 2: on absolutely, man, there's so many lunatics to avail yourself
Speaker 2: up this morning. It's going to be very exciting. It's
Speaker 2: going to be very exciting, this whole lunatic getting to
Speaker 2: know you thing. We have people that are struggling and
Speaker 2: feeding themselves, which is not new. Right in our era
Speaker 2: when it came to people struggling to feed themselves, Ross
Speaker 2: who was the og of people struggling to feed themselves
Speaker 2: in our era.
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, man, the kids from Ethiopia.
Speaker 2: That's Sally Struthers and crew. Right, how many times were
Speaker 2: you reminded what a cup of coffee costs?
Speaker 1: Like all the time. And those images, man, they still
Speaker 1: haunt me, Like the images start letters. I will send
Speaker 1: you a letter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, once we shoe the flies off this kid, we'll
Speaker 2: give them a sandwich and we'll make him write you
Speaker 2: a letter. Oh and then won't you feel good rather
Speaker 2: than having that cup of coffee every morning? That was
Speaker 2: the og And the whole time, Sally Struthers is getting
Speaker 2: just a little chunkier and a little chunk here, and
Speaker 2: people notice that stuff and then before you know, it's
Speaker 2: starving and starving Marvin and his family or fighting aliens,
Speaker 2: and it's the whole thing. You gotta watch out. But
Speaker 2: that's not where the real struggle lies today. It's not
Speaker 2: people in parts of the world where drought and famine
Speaker 2: have overtaken it and they're just out of options because
Speaker 2: warlords and stuff. They don't sit there and you know,
Speaker 2: cover themselves and they're uh, you know, they're they're starving.
Speaker 1: Figures with bulls. Super Bowl Bill's Super Bowl merch like.
Speaker 2: They did back in the day, a whole continent of
Speaker 2: people thinking you guys had a four peet. Frankly, I
Speaker 2: don't know why there's not more Bills mafia fanatics over
Speaker 2: in Africa if you think about it, right, because a
Speaker 2: lot of you know, people like to get on a bandwagon.
Speaker 1: Man. I mean, I wouldn't jump to conclusions. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised if there were, well, you know, folding tables
Speaker 1: are a luxury. I follow like Bill's fans account from Italy,
Speaker 1: from Kazakhstan, from all over the place. It is funny
Speaker 1: watching the Bills.
Speaker 2: I remember we ran into a group of like German
Speaker 2: Vikings fans that had flown over to me. This is
Speaker 2: how can you imagine you're such a fan of another
Speaker 2: country sport? Which I'm not mad about it, but it
Speaker 2: was all these German dudes that were tailgating in like
Speaker 2: fifteen degree weather for a Vikings game and it gets
Speaker 2: cold in Germany.
Speaker 1: I don't think they were prepared for that. I don't
Speaker 1: think they did their research.
Speaker 2: And it was not a fun party either, because they
Speaker 2: were tailgating kind of near us, and like we invited
Speaker 2: them to do the corn hole that we do it
Speaker 2: with rings like if toss rings and there's three holes
Speaker 2: in the board, so it's a slightly different variation. And
Speaker 2: like they really didn't want to play games or really
Speaker 2: do anything. But it wasn't interesting to talk to people
Speaker 2: who were so wrapped up in it that they flew
Speaker 2: all the way from like Berlin or wherever to cheer.
Speaker 1: On the vikings.
Speaker 2: Now we bring the sports to them just to screw
Speaker 2: teams ahead of their bye week. So but anyway, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: to your point, I wouldn't be surprised either. So, but
Speaker 2: all of this is going on yet that is not
Speaker 2: where the struggle lies now. No, the struggle, according to
Speaker 2: a big piece over at the Atlantic magazine, is in.
Speaker 1: Your own home.
Speaker 2: So they're going to write an article about it. Now
Speaker 2: it used to be then they'd write when they were
Speaker 2: doing journalism. How would a publication normally approach the struggle?
Speaker 2: That is, are you ready treat new feeding yourself dinner?
Speaker 2: How would most publications in all of our life approach
Speaker 2: this ten easy weekday meals something like that. They'd give
Speaker 2: you a little like five step things. Maybe if your
Speaker 2: grocery prices were up and an acknowledgment of that they'd
Speaker 2: be like, save money on family meals this week, and
Speaker 2: then they would and they would go ahead and do that.
Speaker 2: But that's not how we do journalism now. Now everything
Speaker 2: is an absolute mind bogglingly hard struggle that we need
Speaker 2: to overcome.
Speaker 4: So tired of cooking dinner sometimes.
Speaker 2: Cry and don't cry.
Speaker 4: My name is Rachel Sugar. I'm a contributing writer at
Speaker 4: the Atlantic, and I wrote about the thing I probably
Speaker 4: think about more than anything, which is, who is everyone
Speaker 4: everywhere still making dinner every single right?
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, Ross, do you guys make dinner in
Speaker 1: your family?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you do? Oh wow?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so right, this is this is right
Speaker 2: in his wheelhouse night.
Speaker 4: All across my neighborhood, across the city, every single night,
Speaker 4: all these households with kids, without kids, whatever, have to
Speaker 4: individually deal with dinner. Oh no, it's not like nobody's
Speaker 4: tried to address this. There are these zillion different meal
Speaker 4: prep bloggers and cookbooks about easy weeknight dinners. There are
Speaker 4: all these different companies that offer are supposed to be solutions,
Speaker 4: whether that's meal kits or prepackaged heat meat actions. There's
Speaker 4: something eat to where the whole selling point is basically
Speaker 4: that you don't have to think about it. And probably
Speaker 4: some of that works sometimes for some people, but every
Speaker 4: single one of those things has significant den sides. A
Speaker 4: lot of them are really expensive, or they're not actually
Speaker 4: very good, or they're not interesting, or they don't meet
Speaker 4: your nutritional specifications. Taking from starving deliberate sagear is none
Speaker 4: of them can really address this fundamental issue, which is
Speaker 4: there's this collective idea that dinner is special.
Speaker 1: It's call it suffer.
Speaker 4: They do that some places, nourishing not just nutritionally but
Speaker 4: also spiritually, and it's just really hard to get that
Speaker 4: in a box. So basically you have two choices. You
Speaker 4: can totally compromise, but then you have to accept that, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's not the dream dinner, or you can live the dream,
Speaker 4: and then you have to think about.
Speaker 5: It all the time, and there's.
Speaker 4: Really no way around it, and you know, it's kind
Speaker 4: of liberating to accept that that, even in the golden
Speaker 4: age of technological progress, dinner refuses to be solved. So
Speaker 4: my advice to you is, well, that's the thing. There's
Speaker 4: no hack.
Speaker 2: Hey, Ross, you've heard of bone juice right talked about
Speaker 2: that on the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from the black sarcophagus. Yeah, and when you find it,
Speaker 1: he's got to drink it right away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a weird concentration of liquid that formulated apparently
Speaker 2: because of the breakdown of literal human body parts.
Speaker 1: And now you have bone juice and as Ross.
Speaker 2: Pointed out, as soon as you crack open the black
Speaker 2: sarcophagus and find that.
Speaker 1: But but but you know, it's it's not very mainstream.
Speaker 1: But something else.
Speaker 2: Is it's bone blow is it's a drug made out
Speaker 2: of human bones apparently, which is all the rage amongst
Speaker 2: the kids, although not here in the US. I don't
Speaker 2: know that it's caught on quite as much, but you
Speaker 2: know it's working on it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This is just one of the many things we learned
Speaker 2: about over the weekend after a flight attendant was caught.
Speaker 1: Smuggling one hundred pounds of cot.
Speaker 2: Which or cush excuse me, cush, not caught cush, which
Speaker 2: is a new drug originating out of West Africa. That
Speaker 2: it's kind of kind of a fentanyly kind of thing
Speaker 2: to it. But what makes it unique is it's made
Speaker 2: in part allegedly out of human bones, which I don't
Speaker 2: know if that adds to the high if it's a
Speaker 2: delivery system. But it's like bone blow, which is trademark
Speaker 2: by the way, I just trademark that.
Speaker 1: I don't understand this. Do they have to like find
Speaker 1: like dig up the bones to make this drug or
Speaker 1: do they like human smuggle and murder people to make
Speaker 1: to get the bones? Yes, the thing, Yes, well that's awful.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know or it's or it's a it's
Speaker 2: it's I don't know, it's yeah, I mean you got
Speaker 2: to cut it with something that backspines your profit. So
Speaker 2: I'm not really I'm not I'm not up on really
Speaker 2: the etiquette around this drug.
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know. I don't even know bone
Speaker 1: but like is it do you do bone blow.
Speaker 2: Off a hooker's butt or is it better done off
Speaker 2: of dead hooker's butt? Like which is it if it's
Speaker 2: made literally of human bones? In part I don't know
Speaker 2: the answer that I'm not up on the kush. So
Speaker 2: maybe somebody who's up on the cush will have to
Speaker 2: explain the cush etiquette for this. So do you wear
Speaker 2: like an obscene piece of jewelry that's actually a storage
Speaker 2: system for it around your neck.
Speaker 1: With a little spoon on it.
Speaker 2: I don't know where your ring flips open. It's just
Speaker 2: full of bone blow? How did she smuggle it? So
Speaker 2: very secretly? So she's a flight attendant. I mentioned that,
Speaker 2: and apparently she had had some downtime, so she was
Speaker 2: staying in Thailand, and I guess they have a thirty
Speaker 2: day visitor visa, so she had to leave the country
Speaker 2: after three days.
Speaker 1: And generally you're doing.
Speaker 2: What's called a passport run in countries like that, where
Speaker 2: people stay, so they leave for a day, they go
Speaker 2: to another country, and then they come back in and
Speaker 2: they get a renewed three day visa.
Speaker 1: So she's like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna go to Sri Lanka, but you know, I guess
Speaker 2: in proximity is pretty close. It's either that or north
Speaker 2: set in the island. And so she went to.
Speaker 1: Sri Lanka and lo and behold.
Speaker 2: While she was in Sri Lanka for her one day trip,
Speaker 2: she had over one hundred pounds of luggage, and believe
Speaker 2: it or not, somebody swapped all of her clothes and
Speaker 2: makeup and everything in there out and then filled it
Speaker 2: with bone blow. So they caught her with one hundred
Speaker 2: pounds of bone blow. Instead of toiletries and clothes and shoes,
Speaker 2: and you you know how women travel one hundred pounds
Speaker 2: for a one day trip.
Speaker 1: That's right on the nose. Now, when you're like a
Speaker 1: flight attendant, does her luggage get scanned like everybody else
Speaker 1: at the front or do you like just wheel it
Speaker 1: in and put it on the plane yourself?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so I'm not sure how it works everywhere,
Speaker 2: but apparently somebody caught her, so there must have been
Speaker 2: another cog in the cyam.
Speaker 1: Still, that's so dumb, Like they're going to scan your luggage, right, yeah, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: is this bone blow in your luggage? And you're like,
Speaker 1: what that isn't mine?
Speaker 2: Yeah, how to one hundred pounds of bone blow? Which,
Speaker 2: by the way, is a lot more pounds than you're allowed.
Speaker 2: But I guess being a flight attendant you probably have
Speaker 2: some probably a little easier for you now. It used
Speaker 2: to be we really didn't scan any of their stuff.
Speaker 2: And you know, for years years Pablo Escobar exploited that system,
Speaker 2: and they you know, they literally there was a there
Speaker 2: was literally years where if you were on a flight
Speaker 2: for one of the companies that he was smuggling through,
Speaker 2: and you know how at the beginning they tell you, hey,
Speaker 2: if we if we crash in the water and somehow
Speaker 2: all survive, under your seat is a flotation device, right,
Speaker 2: you've heard that beginning of flights, except they got rid
Speaker 2: of all those and turn them into bricks of cocaine.
Speaker 2: So had the plane been there and everyone went for
Speaker 2: their life jackets, they would have found, you know, a
Speaker 2: kilo of cocaine.
Speaker 1: I just to hold onto in the water. That'll still
Speaker 1: float though, right, it does. Yeah, they see it in Florida.
Speaker 2: It's a bit of an issue, right, And you're just
Speaker 2: at the beach, maybe celebrating like Africa Day with your family,
Speaker 2: and then here comes to kilos and bales of drugs.
Speaker 2: So and but flight attendants there was a lot of
Speaker 2: smuggling with that. So nowadays they do tend to look
Speaker 2: at their luggage. So although they do get fast tracked. Right,
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've never been security like RDU or whatever. Right,
Speaker 2: you're not seeing the flight crews come through there. They
Speaker 2: gotta throw a little line.
Speaker 1: But yeah.
Speaker 2: Bone blow also known as cush but I like bone
Speaker 2: blow better, is a new popular drug among young men,
Speaker 2: which causes listening to this individuals to fall asleep while walking,
Speaker 2: collapse unexpectedly, and even wander into moving traffic. Apparently, situational
Speaker 2: awareness is not a hallmark of bone blow. One of
Speaker 2: the many ingredients is reportedly human bones, and the insatial
Speaker 2: desire for the substance has even led to ghoulish grave robbers. Oh,
Speaker 2: to answer your previous question, it sounds like it's a
Speaker 2: combination of murder victims but also just standard graveyard rob
Speaker 2: Like can you imagine doing a drug and also being
Speaker 2: haunted after you do the drug. That's probably part of
Speaker 2: the high man the spirits of the people you just
Speaker 2: snorted off the dead hookers, but.
Speaker 1: Really heightens it.
Speaker 2: Growing concern has many countries declaring a state of emergency
Speaker 2: over abuse of cush, including Sri Lanka, which just just
Speaker 2: put in a bunch of rules and laws for people
Speaker 2: would smuggle this stuff.
Speaker 1: Where they get twenty five years in prison. So that's
Speaker 1: what she's facing. Let's see here, she flew the.
Speaker 2: United Arab Emirates, So that was the other part of
Speaker 2: this tube because she was passing not just to Thailand,
Speaker 2: but to the UAE and then to Thailand. And they really,
Speaker 2: they get a they get really they don't like drug
Speaker 2: smuggling much there in the Middle East. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you're aware of this. So that's a problem. And
Speaker 2: it wasn't just one hundred pounds of bone blow. I
Speaker 2: should be, I should be the person who also swapped
Speaker 2: her luggage, who totally wasn't her also filled it with
Speaker 2: thirty pounds of marijuana and hashish.
Speaker 1: So seventy pounds of bone.
Speaker 2: Blow and then thirty pounds of marijuana and hashish.
Speaker 1: So there's that. Lots of problems. There, lots of problems.
Speaker 2: And they just arrested some eighteen year old girl for
Speaker 2: trying to do this too. I think she was going
Speaker 2: through nighted Arab Emirates. Yeah, so apparently it's it's very popular,
Speaker 2: but I've yet to try the bone blow, so I
Speaker 2: don't know. ROSSI ever pay any bone blow back in
Speaker 2: your party days.
Speaker 1: No, it's the first I've heard of it. Oh, okay, are.
Speaker 2: You a little disappointed now that you're you know, you're
Speaker 2: sober and stuff.
Speaker 1: I can't say that, I am. You don't get to.
Speaker 2: Try the bone blow, so you can report back on
Speaker 2: what it is, because frankly, I still don't know what
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it's made of.
Speaker 2: But anyway, uh yeah, so don't smuggle the bone blow
Speaker 2: And if you have one hundred pounds of luggage for
Speaker 2: like a one.
Speaker 1: Day trip, that will raise some people.
Speaker 2: Will question that even though women tend to overpack, so
Speaker 2: watch out for that.
Speaker 1: All right, So there we go.
Speaker 2: He's learned about a new drug. A good way to
Speaker 2: start the Tuesday.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Coming up on the show, the Party of the People's
Speaker 2: figured out a new and exciting way to imperil your
Speaker 2: freedoms in the in the interest of climate change. So
Speaker 2: if they're not doing it just to be draconian, they're
Speaker 2: doing it for because the ends justify the means, and
Speaker 2: not at all to control your life, just rather to
Speaker 2: save the planet, which I just read over the weekend
Speaker 2: too that even if they meet all the goals on
Speaker 2: the rising sea level stuff, that the sea levels are
Speaker 2: still going to rise, so don't get too cocky, which
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works, Like why do we
Speaker 2: even have hallmarks and benchmarks that we want to hit
Speaker 2: if it's not going to do any good according to
Speaker 2: whatever your thing is here. So we'll cover all of
Speaker 2: this with a Massachusetts senator with a very interesting name
Speaker 2: who has come up with a new and decidedly interesting
Speaker 2: way to.
Speaker 1: Nanny statue and she dead serious about this too.
Speaker 2: So that horrible idea and much more coming your way
Speaker 2: here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Sure, depending on
Speaker 2: where you guys were, whether you're traveling, you probably ran
Speaker 2: into a little bit of that as we well, And
Speaker 2: I've flipped on the old Apple TV and on Apple
Speaker 2: Plus they had.
Speaker 1: This new big budget adventure.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's supposed to be like National Treasure, which
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of suspension of belief that is
Speaker 2: required for the movie National Treasure, but it's still a
Speaker 2: good movie.
Speaker 1: Ross. You guys like National Treasure? Yeah, no, we love
Speaker 1: those movies. Yeah, good stuff. What was the what was
Speaker 1: the series that they did too with.
Speaker 2: The guy was on Grazer or He's not one of
Speaker 2: the big shut nineties shows, but he did The Librarian, right,
Speaker 2: did the series of movies called The Librarian or whatever
Speaker 2: where he basically is a librarian, but they handle all
Speaker 2: mythical stuff like Spear of Destiny and things like that.
Speaker 2: Those are okay, but they require a suspension of belief. Right,
Speaker 2: there's probably not secret writing that Lemon Juice will unveil
Speaker 2: on the back of the of the Constitution, right, so
Speaker 2: you don't need to hoist it for this. And but
Speaker 2: this Krazinski movie, it's Jim from the Office and I'm
Speaker 2: trying to remember the chick who's in this doesn't matter,
Speaker 2: Jim from the Office, and he's a thief of like
Speaker 2: mythical items.
Speaker 1: But his sister works for and his sister is Natalie Portman.
Speaker 2: By the way, in this movie, and they're trying to
Speaker 2: find the Fountain of Youth. And to say that they
Speaker 2: didn't even bother it.
Speaker 1: It's called Fountain of Youth, by the way.
Speaker 2: To say that they didn't even bother putting a storyline
Speaker 2: together is well, what, it's completely accurate. Two, it's from
Speaker 2: the jump just ridiculous. And uh they and I don't
Speaker 2: know how much money they spent on this thing. Is
Speaker 2: guy Ritchie who did the movie too.
Speaker 1: These things you need to have, like some sense of realism.
Speaker 1: And then like towards the middle of the movie, you
Speaker 1: sneak in the the insanity, Like I remember sitting in
Speaker 1: the theater for the second National Treasure movie and it's
Speaker 1: the big you know, he's in the living room whatever
Speaker 1: with John Voight and his girlfriend and the nerdy guy,
Speaker 1: and I think maybe his mom was there. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but he says the lion in the camera, you know,
Speaker 1: frames up on his face and he goes, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: kidnap the President of the United States, and the entire
Speaker 1: and the entire theater burst out in laughter.
Speaker 2: But he did it, He did right. All I had
Speaker 2: to do was go to Mount Vernon, which I've been to.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to Mount Vernon? You ever done
Speaker 2: that tour there?
Speaker 1: I know, I'm afraid that I'm gonna be taken down
Speaker 1: into the catacombs underneath Mount Vernon after seeing the movie,
Speaker 1: and that's not an option, that's not a thing. Do
Speaker 1: you get. You do get to see a little part
Speaker 1: of the underground because it's kind of how his grave
Speaker 1: is set up there. But like there's there's not catacombs, right,
Speaker 1: The best part is the tunnels underneath the Mount Vernon,
Speaker 1: the catacombs, if you will, which we've seen in this
Speaker 1: documentary National Treasure too. They lean out to the lake
Speaker 1: and one of the best fishing spots you can have
Speaker 1: right there. What's a river? Yeah, right, there were great
Speaker 1: the potomacare of the just park your boat right there.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's really not set up like that.
Speaker 2: Like you can go walk to the water's edge, and
Speaker 2: when you get to the back of the house where
Speaker 2: they have where they all kind of our party, and
Speaker 2: you can see that. But that's not the thing there.
Speaker 2: But it's pretty wide open right there. There's really not
Speaker 2: even trees. Just boom, there you are in the river.
Speaker 2: The grass basically goes all the way down to the river.
Speaker 1: Where do you even go from there? Like, because wah, no,
Speaker 1: I mean like after the National Treasure too, what's okay?
Speaker 1: Is there a third one? I don't think there no.
Speaker 2: I think once they figured out that there was also
Speaker 2: catacombs under all the president's faces filled with money, Just where.
Speaker 1: Do you go? Like, we're gonna kidnap the pope. Hey,
Speaker 1: nobody's done it yet.
Speaker 2: Else we got a new pope who speaks English, so
Speaker 2: you won't even have to dub.
Speaker 1: You just play him. Man, you break it. He's like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Why does he sound like ma?
Speaker 1: Why is he what does he sound like Mario? He's
Speaker 1: in Italy but he's from Chicago. Yeah, but he's in Italy,
Speaker 1: so the accent sort of takes over eventuo.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know if that works like that, are you
Speaker 2: doing the hand thing? Yes, of course you can't. You
Speaker 2: do it without the hand thing to media Mario. Right,
Speaker 2: we almost had what was the one guy who was
Speaker 2: almost pope?
Speaker 1: He had an amazing name. What was that? What was
Speaker 1: the other dude's name, Veto Sarducci or something like that.
Speaker 1: It was something crazy.
Speaker 2: Oh what was it? Hold on, oh, finalists like it's
Speaker 2: like it's American idol. Uh what was the other guy that?
Speaker 2: This guy had a great name? Well, the guy from
Speaker 2: a was Matteo Zuppi. Oh yeah, no, it was pir
Speaker 2: Bautista Pizza Bala. We always had a Pope Pizza Bala.
Speaker 2: That's a guy who plays basketball and enjoys pizza. I
Speaker 2: guess I don't know, but we didn't get that. We
Speaker 2: got Francis Privos from Chicago instead of Pope Pizza Bala,
Speaker 2: which you have to pronounce like it's the Mario thing.
Speaker 1: So there you go. And I'm assuming that dude's from Italy, right.
Speaker 2: Well, technically he's the Pope of Jerusalem or excuse me,
Speaker 2: the Cardinal of Jerusalem, but is originally from Italy. Do
Speaker 2: you imagine you last name is Pizza Bala and you're
Speaker 2: from like Chile or something. No, that's a strong Italian
Speaker 2: name right there. Well anyway, and you knew how we
Speaker 2: got off on the same Oh yeah, So I watched
Speaker 2: this movie and it was which I hate to see
Speaker 2: because I like me some John Krasinski. He was even
Speaker 2: good in the uh, the horror flick too that he
Speaker 2: did with his actual wife Emily Blunt there which she
Speaker 2: the Monsters who Get You with the sound That was good.
Speaker 1: That was it was. That was a good movie. He's
Speaker 1: been doing got him. He was in the Jack Ryan Show, right,
Speaker 1: did that show? And then yeah, it's been doing a
Speaker 1: lot of voiceover work. He did a voiceover for Pixar
Speaker 1: in Monsters University. And he was also in that Ryan
Speaker 1: Reynolds film where they're the Imaginary Friends. He voiced one
Speaker 1: of those.
Speaker 2: That's okay, all right. I just hate to see it
Speaker 2: because I enjoy watching him and stuff. And I feel
Speaker 2: like they probably threw so much money at this thing
Speaker 2: and brought on all these big names, so to have
Speaker 2: it not work probably not good. But I thought Krazinsky
Speaker 2: and Natalie Portman were fine. I just think whoever wrote
Speaker 2: their characters was like, you're not even gonna do any
Speaker 2: character structuring. We're just gonna have insane things happen the
Speaker 2: whole movie and people will think it's national treasure.
Speaker 1: Well, the fact is now we know for a fact,
Speaker 1: right Dwight made Jim Okay, I've decided to hijack this segment,
Speaker 1: if that's okay. Chicago did the weekend holiday? I don't
Speaker 1: know if you have plans or anything for this segment.
Speaker 1: Did you have something that you know? Really nothing is
Speaker 1: planned here. Yeah, So anyway, Marky and I are expecting
Speaker 1: our second child a bit congratulation, a baby boy in
Speaker 1: late November.
Speaker 2: Have you figured out which pro sports team you want
Speaker 2: him to be the first pick overall with?
Speaker 1: Probably the Buffalo Bills. But okay, all right, in all honesty,
Speaker 1: we have had and you know this, and you haven't
Speaker 1: said anything. We've had two years of amazing ups and downs.
Speaker 1: We have suffered four miscarriages in the span of two years.
Speaker 1: And we have known this for about three months now.
Speaker 1: We just found out the gender the other day we
Speaker 1: took Lincoln. It was a great experience.
Speaker 2: By the way, you all are finding out the gender
Speaker 2: at the same time. I am yes, right, because he's
Speaker 2: very close to his best Yes, and so I knew
Speaker 2: you guys went for the sonogram and that was it.
Speaker 1: We've been waiting though, because we've had so many problems
Speaker 1: in the past few years, and it's been there's certain
Speaker 1: days where I've come in here where you know, you
Speaker 1: knew Mark he was pregnant, and then you find out
Speaker 1: that you know, we lost it, and it's like those
Speaker 1: days I just couldn't even speak because you're at such
Speaker 1: a low place. But God's timing is absolutely perfect, and
Speaker 1: we are now twelve thirteen weeks along. We found out
Speaker 1: it is gonna be a boy. We took Lincoln to
Speaker 1: the ultrasound and we're so excited I cannot even I
Speaker 1: announced it to our vip twitch people on Sunday and
Speaker 1: I couldn't even get through the segment without crying. So
Speaker 1: hopefully I can do that. I like turned into Glenn
Speaker 1: Beck and I was like almost like sobbing because we're
Speaker 1: so happy about everything. But we'd take Lincoln to the
Speaker 1: ultrasound and he was so adamant. He did not want
Speaker 1: a sister. He did not want a sister at all.
Speaker 1: So he's sitting there and he's trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: understand like how he's looking at the baby. They had
Speaker 1: a screen up there, you know, you're the doctor's putting
Speaker 1: this thing and mommy's tummy and he's just sitting there
Speaker 1: and he's adam. He does not want a sister, and
Speaker 1: he just keeps going, does it have a wiener? Does
Speaker 1: it have a wiener? And then the doctor is laughing
Speaker 1: and she finally tells him. She goes, look what I see?
Speaker 1: I see a wiener? And Lincoln gets so excited. He
Speaker 1: is like shaking and he's pacing the room. He's like,
Speaker 1: it's really a boy. It's really a boy. It's really
Speaker 1: a boy. So this is gonna be it is. We
Speaker 1: see it as an absolute blessing. We are incredibly happy,
Speaker 1: and yeah, late November is when we're expecting. Was there
Speaker 1: a reason he was adamant that where he wanted to
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but he's super excited to share
Speaker 1: like all his favorite things with it. And we've been
Speaker 1: having him talk to Marky's stomach every day, tell you know,
Speaker 1: tell the baby something new every day and he keeps
Speaker 1: telling the baby about like you video games and.
Speaker 2: Is going to know so much about Michael Jackson comes
Speaker 2: out of the womb, right.
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's the big news that we for about
Speaker 1: Dratsman for about three months. And like I said, we
Speaker 1: were just being very you know, after everything we've been through.
Speaker 1: So we're so excited now. So yeah, late November, baby
Speaker 1: boy coming. You're also going to get this baby laser,
Speaker 1: which means yes, but anyway, good today, I am declaring,
Speaker 1: like the Chicago mayor declaring Africa Day on I'm a
Speaker 1: moral day. I'm declaring this day Tuesday, March twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: Hayes plus one day, which means I now get the
Speaker 1: day off. She's got a four day weekend. Yes, have
Speaker 1: a great show.
Speaker 2: Well no, no, no, no, no, well hold on no, once
Speaker 2: the baby is born plus one today, right, but it's
Speaker 2: not plus one yet, that's gonna have to be another holiday.
Speaker 1: Anyway. I'm gonna have to take all December off, so
Speaker 1: we already take half of it off, all right. So
Speaker 1: have you formed management of this yet or just put
Speaker 1: it into the system and I'm just gonna assume it's
Speaker 1: gonna get you know, they can't say no, right.
Speaker 2: Ah, Well I sound like Chewbacca here. Yeah, yeah, he
Speaker 2: probably could, but I'm here for that, all right.
Speaker 1: So you said late late November you know, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's one of these things where it's a it's
Speaker 1: a it's a thing that really keeps I mean, it
Speaker 1: keeps the most parents up at night, like what's going
Speaker 1: to happen to your children when you pass away? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: And I'm still I give myself about one hundred twenty
Speaker 1: years probably will be my life span. Okay, one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty. I keep keeping shape. I eat twenty eggs
Speaker 1: every morning, so I'm thinking, like Old Testament Abraham Moses,
Speaker 1: around one hundred and twenty okay, at the minimum. But
Speaker 1: that being said, I'm not going to be here forever,
Speaker 1: and Marky's not going to be here forever. And one
Speaker 1: thing that keeps us up at night is really the
Speaker 1: stress of who's going to take care of our child
Speaker 1: or be there or know about our son, because you know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to have somebody at least with him
Speaker 1: his entire life, and it's a matter of at least
Speaker 1: now there's some sort of like we wanted him to
Speaker 1: have a siblings so bad, so when we pass away,
Speaker 1: at least there's somebody there that's going to care for him.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: That's a much different connection for Lincoln being a family
Speaker 2: member than even just teachers he likes or things like that.
Speaker 2: All right, so so late late November is is the target?
Speaker 2: Is there an exact day or do they not target?
Speaker 1: The exact day? Believe is November twenty ninth. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you could have a Thanksgiving baby yeah, oh Lincoln so
Speaker 1: excited to share Christmas with the baby too.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, get kids can know all about inflatables and stuff
Speaker 2: just right out of the womb.
Speaker 1: Be amazing.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, congratulations from me, second only to your
Speaker 2: twitch twitch followers. That's right, yep, yeah, funding out there,
Speaker 2: you're assuming your vip twitch.
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's a velvet rope thing, man. You know
Speaker 1: you're not part of it, unfortunately, So.
Speaker 2: If you went in all the hot announcements, this is
Speaker 2: not at all the marketing segment on top of everything else.
Speaker 1: So I'm not one for self promotion. Hay, No, no
Speaker 1: you're not. That's that's all right.
Speaker 2: Well seven fourteen there, and I'm sure you'll keep everyone
Speaker 2: up to speed man what's going on? And I'm assuming
Speaker 2: Marky's super excited to get all pregnant again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a bit. But some women enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Some women don't, but they enjoy the aftermath obviously, so
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how she vibes with that stuff. So
Speaker 1: a Marky's been super happy, like I said, everything we've
Speaker 1: gone through the past few years. It's just is this
Speaker 1: her way of getting out of preparing dinner. I think
Speaker 1: she's going to have to prepare extra dinner if oh, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, well don't tell for that chick from the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: I'll probably throw her for a tizzy there.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, uh, I will let me do this
Speaker 2: because I don't want to. I don't want to cram
Speaker 2: in other stories. Uh with this, uh, with this exciting announcement.
Speaker 2: So I will get to the insane Massachusetts senator coming
Speaker 2: up here in just a few minutes, and we'll just
Speaker 2: leave this segment for what it is. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: and you can send all your baby gifts to the
Speaker 2: station or whatever. So because you know, what do they
Speaker 2: call that? What do they what do they call those presents?
Speaker 2: Push presents?
Speaker 1: Right? No, No, the baby Registry on Amazon or I
Speaker 1: think we have one on Amazon and Target. So I
Speaker 1: will share that like.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now. Does the baby really
Speaker 2: need a lambo that it's important?
Speaker 1: Man? Yes, then, but they can't. Babies can't even drive. Man,
Speaker 1: it's a lambo for my children. Oh so the ones
Speaker 1: for the kids. This is for your kid. Yeah, the charity,
Speaker 1: you know, the previous charity, the Hayes for shaff Lambo
Speaker 1: for the children. It's evolved into the Hayes for Sheriff
Speaker 1: Lambeau for his children. And I mean it's a natural
Speaker 1: evolution of the charity.
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, start, wait, hold on, hold on lightsaber?
Speaker 2: What why does a baby need a light staber defense
Speaker 2: defending itself?
Speaker 1: It's a cricket a baby. Man would be a cool
Speaker 1: world out there, man, bad people out there. No, it can't.
Speaker 1: Very scary stuff. Did you know they now make Marky
Speaker 1: was showing me this. Don't say baby lightsabers? No. So
Speaker 1: you know, Lincoln is thirteen now and the time has
Speaker 1: gone by so fast, like a blink of an eye.
Speaker 1: And that's really how fast time works. So even thinking about,
Speaker 1: you know, having a second sheold it's like, well, I
Speaker 1: have nothing else to do. What else am I doing? Nothing?
Speaker 1: We'll try to, you know, raise somebody good for this
Speaker 1: plan and do some good and contribute in some way.
Speaker 1: Plus plus you hate sleep, Yes, I mean only sleep
Speaker 1: four or five hours a day anyway, so there's no difference.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's also a population issue. So now
Speaker 1: we're contributing to that which we're helping save humanity. You're welcome,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 2: I don't have kids, so you're doing this on everyone's behalf.
Speaker 1: In in the span of thirteen years, there's already been
Speaker 1: so much progress in what like baby stuff and kids stuff.
Speaker 1: They now have little Carrig dispensers, Carrig machines for baby formulas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I just think about things evolved, like back when
Speaker 1: we were a kid. Like I didn't realize this. You know,
Speaker 1: I have two sisters they are ten years eight and
Speaker 1: ten years older than me. And when there were babies,
Speaker 1: baby wipes did not exist, the baby wipes, and just
Speaker 1: think of it. It's just you know, it's wet wipes
Speaker 1: you used to wipe. Yeah, they did not exist. You
Speaker 1: would take paper towels and you would wipe them, or
Speaker 1: you would just you know, you would pressure wash them. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like think about that baby wipes. That's how fast things evolve.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't you can't pressure wash babies anymore.
Speaker 1: Powerwashing.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can hire somebody off, how I see, Well,
Speaker 2: there's some guys who do it for YouTube stuff.
Speaker 1: They just go and volunteer to pressure wash stuff.
Speaker 2: And the person's always super suss as to why they're
Speaker 2: they're wanting to mow their lawn or pressure wash their
Speaker 2: driveway for no money.
Speaker 1: They just assume it's a scam. But no, those people exist.
Speaker 2: So but yeah, the baby wipes, I have to go
Speaker 2: back to the baby carrig They come with even smaller
Speaker 2: little single use coffee pods.
Speaker 1: Or I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't think
Speaker 1: it can take coffee pods. I don't know. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: designed differently, but it's so super somebody's gonna have to
Speaker 1: purchase it. For the baby registries. You can find out.
Speaker 1: Even the bacinets are are different now and like a
Speaker 1: span of thirteen years, where like they move by themselves
Speaker 1: and they you know they let's face it.
Speaker 2: When we were kids, you could your baby could sleep on.
Speaker 1: Top of a wood chipper, right, yeah, But I mean
Speaker 1: this was the thing before we got Lincoln's autism diagnosis.
Speaker 1: He was uh, it was really hard. He never slept.
Speaker 1: First off, he would and he would wake up like
Speaker 1: every like ten minutes and we had this. Now it's
Speaker 1: like old time of this old timey vibrator thing that
Speaker 1: would go on the this the bacinet and would vibrate
Speaker 1: the basinet but with this music. But the thing is
Speaker 1: it would die because it was like a wind up
Speaker 1: thing and it would die like after like twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: So he would sleep for twenty minutes and as soon
Speaker 1: as it ended, you wake up simulate. Yeah, he would
Speaker 1: wake up. And now you have these things that'll just
Speaker 1: go the entire time. It's just nuts. Yeah, we really
Speaker 1: didn't have all the cool baby stuff. We're kids, man,
Speaker 1: we got It's crazy. It's crazy. What's We had? Baby
Speaker 1: wipes though, so that's good, like.
Speaker 2: And and lightsabers and and lambos for kids. So that's uh,
Speaker 2: what what progress we have made?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Seven eighteen? Uh, there you go. Cac O Day Radio
Speaker 2: program hang On.
Speaker 1: I did send out a picture and a tweet on
Speaker 1: the show account at Casey and the Radio on X
Speaker 1: on Twitter whatever you want to call it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: an ultrasound pick there. Yeah, the ultrasound pick. And this
Speaker 1: baby nailed the profile pick like the the like nailed it,

Speaker 1: Like straight like he nailed blue steel, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like zulander stuff. Right, that's a good point.
Speaker 2: It was a little foot kicked up there. And I
Speaker 2: trust the doctors, but I've never seen an ultrasouner like
Speaker 2: that's his uh, that's his male part there. I mean,
Speaker 2: I believe they know what they're looking at, but I
Speaker 2: don't know because that looks like a whole leg man,
Speaker 2: So I'm assuming that's it.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, once again, I'm not a doctor. I'm
Speaker 1: not a doctor, but that's what they said.
Speaker 2: So right, yeah, baby, baby's packing or whatever. But the thumb,
Speaker 2: the thumb, the thumb in the mouth pose is straight, baby.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely perfect. Yeah, good stuff. So I h ross Rechi.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, got it off.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think the start a start a movement case
Speaker 8: plus one.

Speaker 8: And the other thing you guys are just talking about,
Speaker 8: Oh my god, just totally escape me.
Speaker 1: Oh the picture and.
Speaker 8: But yeah, okay, well I want just wanted to mention
Speaker 8: about the picture.
Speaker 5: What would be really cool if you could get somebody
Speaker 5: to put a little cowboy hat on him?
Speaker 1: Like he's wearing wearing a Bill's jersey, so oh.
Speaker 5: Well, a cowboy hat and he's ready for glid.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how the table got in the womb,
Speaker 1: but I mean he's a true fan. It looks like
Speaker 1: his wife.
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, so when I actually.
Speaker 2: What I do at the delivery with that don if
Speaker 2: you don't know, they actually have a little tiny folding
Speaker 2: table that they put right under the mother.
Speaker 1: The first thing just smashes it all right, right, yeah
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2: It's not on fire. So people are worried about it's
Speaker 2: they're not crazy.
Speaker 8: But Mark, you might have something to say about the
Speaker 8: doctor dropping the baby on the table.
Speaker 1: Well, texting you, she'd be the one dropping the baby
Speaker 1: on the.
Speaker 5: Table, so technically she might not. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, anyway, when I when I raised mine, there were
Speaker 8: no baby wipes.
Speaker 1: You just pressure wiped them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I had a had a baby bedet.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can do or you can dip them in
Speaker 2: the river. But and but be careful if you hold
Speaker 2: their ankle while they're doing it, because one day it
Speaker 2: could be their down.
Speaker 8: Is that what your mother did with you?
Speaker 2: No, it's but Achilles, mom did that? Look what happened?
Speaker 5: All right, Well, congratulations mister Hayes and missus Hayes. I'm
Speaker 5: very happy for you, are you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you guys have had name discussion. But that'll
Speaker 1: be for posts. Yeah, that's gonna be for We're not
Speaker 1: gonna announce that till the baby's born. But you'll tell
Speaker 1: you'll tell me first, right, uh? Probably not? Probably not?
Speaker 2: May I mean obviously you tell your family first, but
Speaker 2: non family then.
Speaker 1: We're not telling anybody.
Speaker 2: Okay, yep, Well you have to tell the like the hospital,
Speaker 2: right because they put it on the burst of yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean sure, sure, okay, all right, so there to
Speaker 2: answer your question hurts, It's it's premature for that.
Speaker 1: I could give you like a decoy name, though.
Speaker 2: You could, you want to make it extra ridiculous. So
Speaker 2: it turns into will they or won't they? Kind of
Speaker 2: going back to our previous discussion there, So are you
Speaker 2: gonna go you stick with the presidential theme though.
Speaker 1: Uh, we're thinking about it, but probably not like Grover were,
Speaker 1: because we're you know, we have We've had people throw
Speaker 1: out like ideas and stuff, and I'm sure Marky's sister
Speaker 1: was like, how about taft. We're like, we're not naming
Speaker 1: the baby after the president that was so fatty get
Speaker 1: stuck in the bath. Yeah, that's it does not.
Speaker 2: Promote a healthy lifestyle right there. But Grover, right, that's
Speaker 2: got that's I mean, that is that that is a
Speaker 2: top tier muppet. I mean over yeah, yeah at that
Speaker 2: going for you as well?
Speaker 1: Or Chester? Right, Chester is a good one. I don't
Speaker 1: like Chester either. You can't have some awesome mutton chops. Right.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it too, like when Lincoln was born,
Speaker 1: you know, thirteen years ago. God time goes by so fast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't like I was a completely different person.
Speaker 2: Then show what we got we kind of the current
Speaker 2: show concoction started.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like I still wasn't used to the
Speaker 1: morning schedule because I had been doing nights for so
Speaker 1: long top friv Music nights, and I was used to
Speaker 1: going to bed at like two three in the morning.
Speaker 1: You get backing up at like four in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: I was eighty five pounds overweight. I had a huge
Speaker 1: drinking problem. I'm just everything seems like the timing seems
Speaker 1: really perfect. Like and I know, I know, for one,
Speaker 1: I know that we're a lot wiser and Lincoln has
Speaker 1: taught us incredible patience, and like, I think we're both
Speaker 1: much better people now because of Lincoln. Like I really
Speaker 1: think God put Lincoln in a lot. You can hear
Speaker 1: how excited you. Yeah, I think God put Lincoln in
Speaker 1: our lives to work on our own character and it
Speaker 1: make us better people. And I think we are and
Speaker 1: think we're much more prepared for baby number two now,
Speaker 1: not to say we're not going to be tired, but
Speaker 1: I mean physically, mentally, spiritually, I think I'm in a
Speaker 1: much better place now, and it's it's very popular now.
Speaker 1: You know, first off, Marky's like seven years younger than me,
Speaker 1: so she's gonna be fine. But I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 1: forty five. I'm forty five. Let's be nice here, right,
Speaker 1: And I mean and a buck Sexton just had a
Speaker 1: kid and he's like forty three, and I mean he's
Speaker 1: never gone through it before, so I'm sure he's going
Speaker 1: to be like, you know, it's going to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, whiplash or whatever. Completely shocking how it is.
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, what else do I have
Speaker 1: to do? That's what I was like, with the rest
Speaker 1: of my life? What else do I have to do?
Speaker 1: Sit in my ass, play video games, watch TV? Maybe travel?
Speaker 1: What the hell is that? I would much rather spend
Speaker 1: the time doing something that's completely worthwhile, like raising a
Speaker 1: good person for the world.
Speaker 2: Well you can do all those things with that person too, yes,
Speaker 2: oh completely, yeah, No, you have all that experience.
Speaker 1: So yeah, taking the kid to Disney for the first time, yeah,
Speaker 1: in my experience. And I mean I'm just talking for myself.
Speaker 1: I can't talk for other people. But the greatest things
Speaker 1: I ever did which put my life on an upswing
Speaker 1: was marriage and having children. Yeah, yeah, definitely, I recommend.
Speaker 2: It enough, definitely core focused there for the last two
Speaker 2: years as part of the last two years. The last
Speaker 2: few years is part of what has been a fundamental
Speaker 2: change too. So it's interesting too that you're acquainting yourself
Speaker 2: with the Bible right now too, right because some would
Speaker 2: say there are some good lessons in there.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going to tell you a story, and
Speaker 1: I don't care if you believe me or not. I've
Speaker 1: told this to a few people, so okay, eighty four
Speaker 1: days ago, I did decide for some reason, I just
Speaker 1: woke up and this is this is before I knew
Speaker 1: that Marky was pregnant. I woke up and I decided
Speaker 1: that I was going to read the Bible. And I said,
Speaker 1: I'm just going to read it, just to read. I
Speaker 1: felt like it was something I was supposed to do,
Speaker 1: like it's something that was given to me to do.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I've changed and working myself so much.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm six years so I've gone from being
Speaker 1: an atheist to being a believer because he answered my
Speaker 1: prayer to help me with my sobriety. I've lost all
Speaker 1: this weight, in the best shape of my life. But so,
Speaker 1: like I said, this, this is tough for me to
Speaker 1: talk about because like certain things like this is like
Speaker 1: a real thing. This isn't like a joke, This isn't
Speaker 1: like this is like super That's why I brought this up.
Speaker 1: Super real for me. So we had gone through two
Speaker 1: years of miscarriages, four of them total, and it was
Speaker 1: you know, you start reading the Bible for some reason,
Speaker 1: I just started reading it and you see this. Let
Speaker 1: me breathe. You see this sort of trend in the
Speaker 1: story from the very beginning where you have these classic
Speaker 1: matriarchs belonging. And I'm not gonna go on like a
Speaker 1: huge diatribe here, but just quick summation. Right, you have
Speaker 1: the family line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and what
Speaker 1: you see here is a constant story of matriarchs who
Speaker 1: have a hard time conceiving children. And the lesson here
Speaker 1: is that God, if you have a birth, or if
Speaker 1: you have life, it has to it gets permission from God.
Speaker 1: So all of these matriarchs are blessed with children, and
Speaker 1: the lesson learned is that you know, God is responsible
Speaker 1: for that life. They're like they're gifts. So Marky comes in, right,
Speaker 1: let me find this I took a screenshot of this.
Speaker 1: I've shared this with a few people and I don't
Speaker 1: care if you believe me or not, and I don't.
Speaker 1: I have not told you this. No, this is this
Speaker 1: is all new to me. Let me find it. It's
Speaker 1: my phone, Okay. So Marky comes in and she gives
Speaker 1: me the news, and I'm doing my daily reading, and
Speaker 1: I'm an Exodus and as Marky says that she's pregnant,
Speaker 1: this is what I'm reading. It's Exodus twenty three, one
Speaker 1: thirty three whatever, none shall miscarry or be barren in
Speaker 1: your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm reading. When she comes in at the
Speaker 1: moment Yes comes in, Yes, I was so blown away
Speaker 1: that I took a screenshot of it, and I'm like, no
Speaker 1: one's gonna believe me. I believe you, man, I believe you.
Speaker 1: And I said to Mario, we were so concerned about
Speaker 1: her having another miscarriage. And I'm reading this line, none
Speaker 1: shall miscarry or be barren in your land. I said
Speaker 1: to her, I said, you don't have to worry. It's
Speaker 1: meant to be this time, it's completely meant to be.
Speaker 1: We have nothing to worry. About she just turned you
Speaker 1: just literally show her the thing on the screen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what I'm reading right now. And I've just
Speaker 1: been reading all these stories with these matriarchs who are
Speaker 1: having a heart time conceiving or being barren suddenly being
Speaker 1: able to concede because their gifts from God. And that's
Speaker 1: the point. So, I mean, yeah, I'm a different person
Speaker 1: than i've been, but I think for the better. And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you can't that is that's either like a
Speaker 1: huge coincidence or that is a message. And I choose
Speaker 1: to believe that it's a message.
Speaker 2: No, especially when you consider all the other things that
Speaker 2: are not only within the Bible, but within the Book
Speaker 2: of Exodus going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, it's kind of a busy book, so to speak.
Speaker 1: But I really I read the line and I said
Speaker 1: to Mark, you said, we have nothing to worry about.
Speaker 1: This one's gonna this one? Is it? That's so cool? Man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so weird. It's so weird. Absolutely, So did do you?
Speaker 1: Did you post that out too? Or are you just
Speaker 1: telling people that No, I've told you right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I've told a few people that I've told
Speaker 1: I have a pastor friend that lives in Fateville. I
Speaker 1: told him, I told who else I told Harbinger and uh,
Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I think one or two people.
Speaker 1: I got you, but I told you.
Speaker 2: What was your mom's thoughts when you toldne maybe not this,
Speaker 2: but just the baby.
Speaker 1: And my mom is super excited. But she's concerned for Marky,
Speaker 1: like she's really concerned. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, because she
Speaker 1: knows of like you know, past issues. So I'm just
Speaker 1: concerned about the health of everybody involved. But she's so
Speaker 1: happy to I can.
Speaker 2: Imagine Lincoln dude. Absolutely, man, that's dude. That's a great
Speaker 2: story within a story too. So all the all the
Speaker 2: funny laser jokes and all that aside that it was
Speaker 2: just the power of all of that.
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time even discussing it because, like
Speaker 1: I said, it means so much to me. Like I
Speaker 1: can talk about anything, and I can make jokes about anything,
Speaker 1: but when I like feel serious and real about something,
Speaker 1: I get to anxiety. Man, I get like breathing issues
Speaker 1: because I get so sea.
Speaker 2: Especially with everything that you guys have gone through. So
Speaker 2: all right, well, look by all means man, people are
Speaker 2: gonna want to hear every bit of it. So like
Speaker 2: shoehorn that baby stuff in any time, man, because I
Speaker 2: think it also I think it also brings other people
Speaker 2: joy even though they're not you know, it's not their baby,
Speaker 2: so to speak. They get to live vicariously through a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff we do on the radio, and it's
Speaker 2: such a positive message. Like especially when you were just
Speaker 2: explaining about reading scripture. Literally, that is so on point.
Speaker 1: It's so it's so ridiculous that, I mean, I can't
Speaker 1: help but think that that's like a that's meant to be.
Speaker 2: Dude, I can't argue with you again, of all the
Speaker 2: moments within the Bible to be reading when that happens
Speaker 2: with everything that goes on.
Speaker 1: There, right, And it's like a main theme through Genesis
Speaker 1: in the earlier books. I mean, this is the main thing.
Speaker 1: It's just it was meant to be. There's a reason
Speaker 1: that I woke up one day randomly and said, I'm
Speaker 1: going to read the entire Bible.
Speaker 2: There is let me let me bring a racetagic into this.
Speaker 2: H from the weather channel. So he's said standing around there,
Speaker 2: Russell braggers again. So I don't know if you're listening
Speaker 2: to this, No, well he's not.
Speaker 1: His wife is so baby number two coming in November.
Speaker 1: Nice and the congratulations. He's already like a photo hog,
Speaker 1: like right, this, this ultrasound photo is perfect. He's struck
Speaker 1: like a zoolander, thumb in the mouth, pose like it's
Speaker 1: just perfectly give.
Speaker 9: Us baby, like no problem, got it right, just automatic, right,
Speaker 9: so just right.
Speaker 1: I just hope he's not full like the baby. We
Speaker 1: don't know. We're not finding out. Boy boy. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: hope something you know.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, no, but cakes man or another bills to
Speaker 9: deal with, right, h.
Speaker 1: Overall first round pick for the building. Yes, let's work
Speaker 1: on that. Let's work. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he's already ready, he's in there actually yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, awesome, that's good. That's nice you doing. You're
Speaker 1: just making a rain everywhere.
Speaker 9: So yeah, don't see much in them. That's exactly what
Speaker 9: I'm looking at. Five day totals through Sunday morning one
Speaker 9: to maybe three inches four inches. I don't think we
Speaker 9: go a day over the next four or five days
Speaker 9: with at least some rain around the weekend does look
Speaker 9: nice though. Temperatures will be cool today, only in the
Speaker 9: sixties because of the wedge kind of the east breeze.
Speaker 9: And we got this rain pushing through now now most
Speaker 9: of it's light, but coming into the triangle as we
Speaker 9: speak and try. I'd seen some moderate to heavier showers
Speaker 9: and better than this batch, and we may get a
Speaker 9: break at times today, but still it's going to be
Speaker 9: damp and cool, as I said, only in the sixties,
Speaker 9: with a breeze and some RUMs of thunder. More rain
Speaker 9: tonight and tomorrow may taper off just a bit as
Speaker 9: we go through the day to more scattered rain, and
Speaker 9: still Thursday Friday chances of showers thunders, and then finally
Speaker 9: if we get into the weekend, looks real nice, back
Speaker 9: into the eighties. So let's hang on here, deal with
Speaker 9: what's going to be a fairly damp week. Each day,
Speaker 9: as I'd mentioned, some rain around. It'll start getting milder
Speaker 9: by tomorrow. After today, closer to eighty tomorrow most of
Speaker 9: us in the upper seventies, and then Thursday Friday near eighty,
Speaker 9: and then the weekend maybe mid to upper eighties and
Speaker 9: mostly sunny, and that sunshine could last into early next week.
Speaker 9: So we get into June Sunday, first day of Atlantic
Speaker 9: hurricane season, the weather does look pretty nice longer range,
Speaker 9: you know, one of the models, the American model of
Speaker 9: course down the road, trying to develop something in the
Speaker 9: Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1: But it does that.
Speaker 9: Let's just remind everybody the GFS or the American model
Speaker 9: during hurricane season, always long range, you're talking beyond ten days,
Speaker 9: always tries to develop something. And to me, it's just
Speaker 9: a little reminder that, hey, we're heading towards hurricane season.
Speaker 9: Noah came out with their prediction last week, also predicting
Speaker 9: a sixty percent chance of an above average season. So
Speaker 9: let's hope we don't have much of any.
Speaker 2: Impact on a hog so much of the year for this,
Speaker 2: I know you guys get what made October that feels
Speaker 2: a little greedy?
Speaker 9: Well, East Pac East Pac May fifteenth. The predictions come
Speaker 9: out obviously before June first, but June first too, Yes,
Speaker 9: they ended the webbers the official Atlantic Hurricane season.
Speaker 1: Moore, you guys are hogging all the days. Sorry, right
Speaker 1: over the middle. I don't make the rules. I don't
Speaker 1: make the rules. Gravyre gravy training.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you about sir doing pr all right,
Speaker 2: coming up on the show. All right, I have to
Speaker 2: do the Matthewstts Senator. I think because that's just so insane.
Speaker 2: We'll chat with Cassie Clark coming up at eight oh
Speaker 2: five about cyberstocking and swatting and all the horribleness you
Speaker 2: hear about. Also, nothing says we're totally on your level
Speaker 2: and know how to deal with you. Then having to
Speaker 2: spend twenty million dollars to figure out how to talk
Speaker 2: to dudes. But those are the Democrat parties and they're.
Speaker 1: Kind of proud of it, and I'm going to save.
Speaker 2: Him like twenty million more because they're probably gonna want
Speaker 2: to do other studies because I think I think I
Speaker 2: figured out what the problem is.
Speaker 1: So yes, Joe Anne, what's up?
Speaker 5: Well, the first thing is is that if you don't
Speaker 5: give Ross the day off because he's going to be
Speaker 5: a need daddy, I'm going to come over there and
Speaker 5: who you.
Speaker 1: Ass I'm not. I don't control any of this.
Speaker 5: I don't care. Pull the strengths, do whatever you need
Speaker 5: to do.
Speaker 1: There's no strings to pull. We don't there's no I
Speaker 1: think Joe Anne brings up a good point.
Speaker 2: I bet you do. Yeah, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're going to go They're going to turn into the duggers.
Speaker 2: You're never going to be here.
Speaker 1: I wanted.
Speaker 5: The reason I called. The reason I called was I
Speaker 5: want it real quick, if I can just to farm
Speaker 5: his miracle. And I just want to say I've been
Speaker 5: in recovery for thirty two years from my addiction, and
Speaker 5: I got got smacked and really weird. But shortly after
Speaker 5: I got into recovery, my best friend had a friend
Speaker 5: who I've never met, hadn't met. She was only like
Speaker 5: twenty four years old, and she got cancer and it
Speaker 5: was so bad that they were going to have to
Speaker 5: do this major procedure on her called the Whipple procedure.
Speaker 5: And I heard that and that just broke my heart
Speaker 5: and I started really just praying for her every day,
Speaker 5: multiple times. The dad just prayed for her. So my
Speaker 5: best friend went to the hospital with her and her
Speaker 5: husband for the surgery, and she promised me she would
Speaker 5: call me as soon as she got out. So the
Speaker 5: surgery was like nine am, and at nine forty five,
Speaker 5: my friend rang and it was my best friend and
Speaker 5: I said, oh my god, you're already calling me because
Speaker 5: it's supposed to be like an eight hour procedure and
Speaker 5: she said jah. I said, what's going on? She said, well,
Speaker 5: they got in there and she said there's no cancer.
Speaker 5: So I just wanted to do a farm Ross's miracle
Speaker 5: because she, as far as I know to this day,
Speaker 5: is one never had a return of cancer. And hang
Speaker 5: on to that miracle off because I happened all the time.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll work on the other thing.
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, thank you sir. All right, God Glass, have
Speaker 5: a good day.
Speaker 1: Thank very much for the call there.
Speaker 2: So so make sure Roskeet stays off. And another very
Speaker 2: positive story.
Speaker 1: I don't forget to pray yep. But more importantly, the
Speaker 1: day off talk to management, gotcha? Okay, get right on that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's funny that people think that like there are strings
Speaker 2: to pull for either of us around here.
Speaker 1: But okay, I mean they barely give us holidays off,
Speaker 1: you know, like well you know, you know. It was
Speaker 1: actually got me nervous.
Speaker 2: Is this is the first, like Memorial Day that you
Speaker 2: or I haven't been asked if we're taking the day
Speaker 2: off management.
Speaker 1: Same exact thing on Saturday. I was like, they didn't
Speaker 1: because typically on a holiday, for some reason, they ask
Speaker 1: us if we're going to take the holiday off.
Speaker 2: Even if it's a company holiday, which we don't. You're
Speaker 2: in advance. Yeah, it's a calendar. Are you taking Christmas off? Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a company holiday. Of course, I'm thinking about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And nobody mentioned Memorial Day. So I was waiting to get.
Speaker 1: A call on the Monday miltdown. Yeah, like where are
Speaker 1: you guys? Yeah, dude, the same exact.
Speaker 2: I almost texted you on it, but I didn't want
Speaker 2: to jinx in uh, and I wanted to talk about
Speaker 2: something that way too often happens as part of various
Speaker 2: stories that I've covered over the years, when people who
Speaker 2: are free to disagree with each other decide they're going
Speaker 2: to go ahead and take it up a notch, and
Speaker 2: it manifests in very dangerous situations which have literally gotten
Speaker 2: people killed.
Speaker 1: Where words and debate and uh, you know, normal human
Speaker 1: discussion which can get heated at times but still needs
Speaker 1: to really stay there within the uh, the realm of
Speaker 1: words then gets escalated to these these these situations where
Speaker 1: somebody says, oh, well, you know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna send a swat team to somebody's house,
Speaker 1: and the swat.
Speaker 2: Team's going to have incorrect information. They're going to be
Speaker 2: very heightened because they think they're there to deal with
Speaker 2: something that they're not there to deal with, and one misunderstanding,
Speaker 2: one wrong move can have deadly consequences, as we've seen
Speaker 2: manifest in there is an incident in Ohio where somebody
Speaker 2: was literally killed, and there have been others, and we
Speaker 2: call it swatting, but it's part of a larger issue.
Speaker 2: And to discuss that larger issue is Cassie Clark, who
Speaker 2: she's got some opinions online. You've probably seen her at
Speaker 2: the Dogwood Blooms is her Twitter handle, but usually it
Speaker 2: manifests around pizza and the pronunciation of certain nuts that
Speaker 2: go into dessert pies, but sometimes it goes beyond that,
Speaker 2: and she was actually testifying at the General Assembly here
Speaker 2: about a week ago. So Cassie, good morning to you.
Speaker 2: How are you doing.
Speaker 7: I'm good?
Speaker 5: How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 2: But I also nobody's ever sent a swat team to
Speaker 2: my house, So there's that.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: Now, when you're when you're online, you're debating somebody over
Speaker 2: mustard or vinegar based barbecue or pecan pecan pronunciations, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, which is it.
Speaker 5: It's p p can.
Speaker 2: Okay, you never thought a pecan person needed a swat
Speaker 2: team at.
Speaker 1: Their house, right, that's never they just need educated.
Speaker 2: So but we've seen, especially as it surrounded a lot
Speaker 2: of like the Heleene debate, we've seen some pretty high
Speaker 2: profile incidents with people who've played a big part of
Speaker 2: that discussion, people like Matt van Swoall and various others.
Speaker 2: So talk about some of the incidents that we've seen
Speaker 2: here lately and why you were called to the capitol
Speaker 2: essentially to to talk to elected officials.
Speaker 7: So over the past year, I myself have been cyrus
Speaker 7: thought multiple times. And we all know what it's like
Speaker 7: to deal with a troll, right Like, usually they'll throw
Speaker 7: out a few you know, nasty con and then you
Speaker 7: block them and they go away. But that's not always
Speaker 7: the case. And I personally have been cyberstalked on three
Speaker 7: different occasions, and one of those was by an extreme
Speaker 7: left group, another time was by an extreme right group.
Speaker 7: And now I have an individual who has relentlessly targeted
Speaker 7: me for over a year, and to me, that's just
Speaker 7: absolutely insane. And what's even worse is a lot of
Speaker 7: these attacks are unsolding because I'm not overly political. My
Speaker 7: focus is culture and occasionally I address issues that intersect
Speaker 7: with politics, because politics stems from culture, right, and so
Speaker 7: the harassment that I face is always consistently driven by
Speaker 7: political motives. In one of these instances, private discussions were
Speaker 7: had about how to deal with me. Participants in that
Speaker 7: discussion were sending me screenshots of what was going on
Speaker 7: in these private I've had my business paperwork leaked online,
Speaker 7: just all kinds of crazy things that I've experienced. And
Speaker 7: some of these people who've gone after me what makes
Speaker 7: it even worse. One of them was a former North
Speaker 7: Carolina Democrat candidate and a pack owner who was spreading
Speaker 7: lives about me to intimidate and harass me. Right now,
Speaker 7: there's a North Carolina district vice chair who is engaging
Speaker 7: in similar tactics about me. And these individuals wheeled real power,
Speaker 7: and they're targeting North Carolina citizens. And so after hearing
Speaker 7: about Matt van Swald, there was actually a guy who
Speaker 7: was shot during the swatting incident in Cherokee County. And
Speaker 7: after all of this, I decided I can't put up
Speaker 7: with it anymore, like this is not okay. And so
Speaker 7: I went to Raleigh and I sat down with some
Speaker 7: of our reps and I let them know what was
Speaker 7: going on, because if they don't do something, this is
Speaker 7: just to escalate.
Speaker 1: Well, and so let me let me start with the
Speaker 1: what do they do?
Speaker 2: Because I think a lot of us look at the
Speaker 2: swatting where they send a swat team to the house
Speaker 2: and people.
Speaker 1: Go, well, the swat team should know that's not.
Speaker 2: Real, and yeah, I think it's definitely on their radar
Speaker 2: that it's not real. But when they get a call
Speaker 2: and that somebody's saying that they just murdered their spouse
Speaker 2: or they murdered their kids, and now they're hold up
Speaker 2: and they're going to murder the kids now, or they're
Speaker 2: going to murder the spouse whoever was not previously murdered.
Speaker 2: Police are going to roll on that, right because they
Speaker 2: don't want an incident where they ignore it and then
Speaker 2: God forbid something happen. So people will go, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: they should know, but also what do you want them
Speaker 2: to do? And I guess my question is in an
Speaker 2: incident like that, how do you how do you think
Speaker 2: police should handle it? Knowing that if they just blow
Speaker 2: them off, eventually they're going to ignore something bad. But
Speaker 2: simultaneously there's the possibility homeowner doesn't understand who's outside their
Speaker 2: door screaming at him. They grab a firearm, just thinking
Speaker 2: they need to protect themselves and before the police they
Speaker 2: can identified it's the police. Something bad happened. So where
Speaker 2: where is the line there? What do you think departments
Speaker 2: need to do?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 7: I definitely think that we need harsh punishment for that,
Speaker 7: right because to me, that's a tempted murder. And so
Speaker 7: when I went I actually went to the magistrate over
Speaker 7: one of these instances where I've been harassed, and I.
Speaker 5: Let them know, hey, I'm being harassed.
Speaker 7: I went through the entire thing, get to the very end,
Speaker 7: and he's like, well, we can press charges, but this
Speaker 7: person has gone to the court in five different counties
Speaker 7: here in North Carolina and gotten away with it every
Speaker 7: single time. And so that shocked me. And he was like,
Speaker 7: you can press charges, but if you do, chances are
Speaker 7: they're going to win and they're going to have even
Speaker 7: more of your information. Do you really want that out there?
Speaker 7: And so I elected not to. But I also went
Speaker 7: to the police department and I let them know, hey,
Speaker 7: I'm finding myself in this situation. I have friends who
Speaker 7: are having you know, PISA consistently sent to their houses,
Speaker 7: they've been swatted. I want to let you guys know
Speaker 7: what's going on, so hopefully we can come up with
Speaker 7: a plan if someone tries to do this to me.
Speaker 7: And I was told that there was nothing that they
Speaker 7: could do.
Speaker 2: Well, explain the pizza things. People hear the like, why
Speaker 2: is Cassie mad about free pizza?
Speaker 1: But it's not about the stuff. It's not right, it's
Speaker 1: not free.
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, First of all, it's not free pizza. People
Speaker 7: are sending pizza to other people's houses and sometimes this.
Speaker 5: Will go on for hours.
Speaker 7: They'll call all the different pizza delivery places in the
Speaker 7: town that will deliver to a specific address. They don't
Speaker 7: pay for it, and so you're hurting the business and
Speaker 7: hurting the homeowner because really the intention of that is
Speaker 7: to send a message, hey, we know where you live, right,
Speaker 7: And so they will send these over and over again
Speaker 7: for days at a time. And that's the whole point
Speaker 7: behind it, right, is to intimidate people. And really the
Speaker 7: whole purpose of all of this is to intimidate people
Speaker 7: into silence. That's what these groups are trying to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and doing it is worse for women.
Speaker 5: I think that.
Speaker 7: So statistically speaking, this type of thing happens to women
Speaker 7: at a higher rate, So more than fifty percent of
Speaker 7: the people who are stalked are women. I am personally,
Speaker 7: you know, hillbilly, so I think that I handle it
Speaker 7: a little bit better than some others.
Speaker 5: My instinct is to fight back.
Speaker 7: And I married a great guy who is all about
Speaker 7: looking out for me and protecting our family. But yeah,
Speaker 7: I think that for us, especially if you have something
Speaker 7: like me. I have PPSD, and so it can be stressful.
Speaker 7: I mean, I've had to go back to the doctor
Speaker 7: and get put back on meds. And I was doing great.
Speaker 7: I had stopped taking my meds before interviews, and I
Speaker 7: had stopped using it for spaces. I was in a
Speaker 7: really good place, and then all of this happened, and
Speaker 7: now all of a sudden, I'm going through the pts
Speaker 7: the motions again.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, uh, it's one thing when the person's in the country,
Speaker 2: like you're talking about. And by the way, I don't
Speaker 2: even know who this's congressional candidates, and it's probably one
Speaker 2: of three names that are in my head right now
Speaker 2: because there's some there's some doozies that are former candidates
Speaker 2: who we've had on this show.
Speaker 1: Who are just insane. And but that.
Speaker 2: Being said, it's one thing when the person's here, let
Speaker 2: alone in North Carolina, but even in the US because
Speaker 2: a lot of time, a lot of these swatting incidents,
Speaker 2: it's somebody over in like Ukraine or something, or you know,
Speaker 2: and there's a sheer impossibility. So it blows me away that, like,
Speaker 2: you can not only identify who this person is, but
Speaker 2: you can provide examples, and there's nothing to go with.
Speaker 2: So the lawmakers who are sympathetic to this, what do
Speaker 2: they think needs to be done?
Speaker 7: So I'm not sure what roads they're going to go
Speaker 7: down in order to solve this problem.
Speaker 5: But the response I.
Speaker 7: Got was incredible and it was bipartisan, which is even better.
Speaker 7: So they're currently aware of the issues and they're interested
Speaker 7: in doing something about it. And so I have spoken
Speaker 7: to a lobbyist who focuses on domestic violence, and of
Speaker 7: course stalking falls under domestic violence, and she has been
Speaker 7: absolutely incredible, and she is offered to be the middle
Speaker 7: man and go between for me and you know, our representatives.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, it's one thing to be sympathetic.
Speaker 2: We just saw an incident too where you know a
Speaker 2: lot of it gets into the dog whistle stuff, and
Speaker 2: we saw what happened up in DC. I'm sure you're
Speaker 2: aware of last week we had two people murdered at
Speaker 2: this event at the Jewish Museum up there. And then
Speaker 2: everyone wants to pretend like there's not vitriol out there
Speaker 2: that may have contributed to something like this. Do you
Speaker 2: think the vitriol played in I'm mean asking you to
Speaker 2: get a little political here, but this is what we're
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 1: Do you think.
Speaker 2: Vitriol within the debate over Israel Gaza was a contributing
Speaker 2: factor to that shooting? In your opinion, even in a
Speaker 2: layman's opinion, doubt?
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 7: Without a doubt?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 7: I mean every day right it Truly, some of the
Speaker 7: things that I've seen online have shocked me. I guess
Speaker 7: that was kind of naive before I got on X
Speaker 7: and started getting big. I never would have believed that
Speaker 7: there were people who truly were anti Semites, Like I
Speaker 7: had no idea that was out there until I started
Speaker 7: seeing it online.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so you see that, and you see the
Speaker 2: cold the contribution to that, but which you don't see
Speaker 2: are people that are willing to go all right, we
Speaker 2: got to tone down the rhetoric. Instead, we'll wait for
Speaker 2: somebody like Sarah Palin to put a congressional map out
Speaker 2: and be like this is the end, all, this is
Speaker 2: the worst. Or Trump says something or a Democrat says something,
Speaker 2: and and and then people are like, all right, well,
Speaker 2: you know anything, there's no rules, anything goes and I
Speaker 2: can go ahead and hit around the edges. But when
Speaker 2: it actually comes to fruition, like there's no introspection on this.
Speaker 2: I didn't see anyone else and and people could correct
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, Like I didn't see people going,
Speaker 2: you know what, maybe college cans, you know, the burning
Speaker 2: of the Jews in effigy, Maybe that doesn't have a
Speaker 2: place here. So how do you walk that fine line
Speaker 2: between people are entitled to have opinions on what's going
Speaker 2: on between Israel and Gaza, and they're titled to have
Speaker 2: opinions on how pecan pacan is pronounced. They're titled to
Speaker 2: have opinions on anything. So you don't want to stifle
Speaker 2: the ability to do that. So we have to figure out, okay, well,
Speaker 2: when does even have an opinion that may give permission
Speaker 2: to somebody else to go ahead and do one of
Speaker 2: these things even if yourself are not doing it. How
Speaker 2: do you crack down on that without styming free speech?
Speaker 7: I think I'll like the libertarian stance on this, and
Speaker 7: their stance is when you cross over into harming someone else,
Speaker 7: that there is the point that.
Speaker 2: Right, But what if I just go, well, if somebody
Speaker 2: else did get harmed, they kind of have it coming,
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to harm them, because I think
Speaker 2: that's a lot of people's take where they're not actually
Speaker 2: going to go out and do it, but they'll say
Speaker 2: things like, you know, wouldn't it be cool if somebody
Speaker 2: did do this to Cassie and and I think that's
Speaker 2: where you start waiting into dangerous territory.
Speaker 5: I think at that.
Speaker 7: Point you're in some cases you're probably inciting violence, right.
Speaker 7: I mean, for me, I have no problem. If you,
Speaker 7: you know, are screaming into the void talking ugly about me,
Speaker 7: feel free. I've probably had worse said.
Speaker 5: About me, right.
Speaker 7: I think the point comes is when my business paperwork
Speaker 7: was leaked and I realized, oh.
Speaker 5: My gosh, this person is.
Speaker 7: Actually trying to see something bad done to me. That
Speaker 7: was the point for me where I was like, Okay,
Speaker 7: this is crossing into a territory where we're no longer
Speaker 7: talking about free speech. We're talking about you're trying to
Speaker 7: put out information that could lead to me being swatted.
Speaker 7: You're putting out information where I could be stalked in
Speaker 7: real life and I have kids at home. I mean
Speaker 7: that's completely unacceptable. Now you're walking that fine line of
Speaker 7: this is no longer just free speech. This is you
Speaker 7: putting out information where you're hoping someone is going to
Speaker 7: harm me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I hear you there.
Speaker 2: But what was First of all, what did they get?
Speaker 2: They get a hold of something that frankly was public
Speaker 2: or not public, I mean expressing the surroundings of that.
Speaker 7: So when you file for an LLC in North Carolina,
Speaker 7: guess that is public information?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 7: Why that is public information? After this was leaked, I
Speaker 7: was wondering, why why do we have this information public?
Speaker 7: Especially in the political clime that we live in today.
Speaker 7: I mean, we have people who are setting fire to
Speaker 7: Tesla dealerships, right, we have people who are who are
Speaker 7: gunning people down because they don't agree with their their
Speaker 7: political ideology or religion. Like this is dangerous. So I
Speaker 7: would like to see, you know, perhaps our reps consider
Speaker 7: taking our private information more seriously, I think that Matt
Speaker 7: van Wall was docks with his voting information, yeah.
Speaker 2: Which is you can't see how people voted, but you
Speaker 2: can see whether they voted or not. And what's crazy
Speaker 2: is like there are some packs out there that will
Speaker 2: send the emails to people going, hey, we saw that
Speaker 2: you only voted in two of the last three cycles.
Speaker 2: Would it be a shame if your family found out
Speaker 2: about that? I mean, really like integrating it into mainstream stuff,
Speaker 2: and it's all just so creepy.
Speaker 7: Oh, it's very creepy. And to me, it's even worse
Speaker 7: when you start talking about people go off the deep
Speaker 7: end when it comes to politics, right, and we're seeing
Speaker 7: that very specifically happening. I want to say, what probably
Speaker 7: in the twenty tens or so, and so people are
Speaker 7: targeting one another off politics and me I'm kind of moderate,
Speaker 7: you know, and so I'm target of both sides.
Speaker 1: I mean that's terrifying, yeah, or no sides at all.
Speaker 5: All.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, we're gonna have to leave it therecase. They
Speaker 1: got about thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: So at Dogwood Blooms, right, I want to say where
Speaker 2: the Dogwood blooms, But that's the name of your blog.
Speaker 2: But I had dog with blooms. I want to follow
Speaker 2: you on the Twitter, and they should do that. And
Speaker 2: and for the most part it is it's it's pecan
Speaker 2: pecan and barbecue and culture and fun stuff. But boy
Speaker 2: when it when it gets over to the other side,
Speaker 2: he gets nasty real quick. All right, Cassie, I appreciate
Speaker 2: it this morning. I have yourself a good one.
Speaker 7: Okay, awesome, thinks sir.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go, Cassie Clark, you follow on
Speaker 2: Twitter all that good stuff. We will take a break
Speaker 2: and be right back do do. All right, a couple
Speaker 2: of things that we need to get to.
Speaker 1: What is this people are asking me? I don't have.
Speaker 2: I do not know the answer that, sir, enough Cassie
Speaker 2: would know that either what is the percentage of Republican
Speaker 2: versus Democrat with sway?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I do know that I see it happening when it's
Speaker 2: politically based. I see a lot of stories, but that
Speaker 2: might be confirmation biased, just because it's normally the sources
Speaker 2: that I look at, and you know, I'm sure it
Speaker 2: does have it back and forth. But I will tell
Speaker 2: you that when I see it in the news, it
Speaker 2: seems to be getting rid of the video game based stuff,
Speaker 2: which I don't know how much politics is there, but
Speaker 2: I see things that look politically motivated. It does seem
Speaker 2: to outsize one side doing it versus the other, but
Speaker 2: I don't have any comprehensive data on that. And again,
Speaker 2: which was crazy about with the Cassie side of it,
Speaker 2: is like it's they know who the people are. With
Speaker 2: a lot of these, you don't know who it is.
Speaker 2: You kind of know where they're coming from, but you
Speaker 2: don't know exactly who it is.
Speaker 1: And so to know.
Speaker 2: Where some of it may be emanating from because people
Speaker 2: are absolute lunatics and will own it, and then there's
Speaker 2: still not to be recourse on it. That's where things
Speaker 2: get crazy, especially when you have so many people within
Speaker 2: the political realm who want to nanny state everything you do.
Speaker 2: And yet still because people that almost give permission with
Speaker 2: the way that they approach things from the political spectrum.
Speaker 2: Case in point, we had a Maschusetts State senator who's
Speaker 2: got some new, some big ideas and on how she
Speaker 2: can control your life. And I kid you not, this
Speaker 2: is so this is the bill, that's the legislation that
Speaker 2: she's introduced. Let's see what is this what is this
Speaker 2: senator name? Senator Cynthia Cream. I don't wanna, I don't
Speaker 2: want to broad brush this, but like, this's that sounds
Speaker 2: like a nineties Milf adult film star.
Speaker 1: Am I right? Ross? Am I wrong? On this? Cynthia Cream?
Speaker 1: I was in somebody sent me a pizza. I've been
Speaker 1: enjoying it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, Ross has a bunch of pizzas, now, like.
Speaker 1: Seven of them. Dude, they might you know what it is,
Speaker 1: baby pizza? It's like, is that what you think it is? Yeah? Baby?
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: So I'm loading the audio this morning for this woman
Speaker 1: from Massachusetts, the state senator, and I'm writing the description
Speaker 1: of her name. I'm like, what is her name? And
Speaker 1: I read her name, I'm like, you've got to be
Speaker 1: kidding me.
Speaker 2: Really, that's sounds like somebody who hangs out hangs out
Speaker 2: of the AVIN Awards with Alexis Texas, right, you know
Speaker 2: which I think is somebody's name.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I didn't look it up. I don't
Speaker 1: know who that is. That a senator from Texas? Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe that might she might be a Texas senator. We
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that sounds like somebody who started in the
Speaker 2: nineties and now it's getting.
Speaker 1: Digital and she's really lost in it.
Speaker 2: And she's okay doing the mill theme stuff, but the
Speaker 2: guilt stuff is just a bridge too far for her,
Speaker 2: right because that's that's personally going to be so as
Speaker 2: someone assaulting for some actresses. So anyway, Senator Cynthia Kream
Speaker 2: has has some thoughts and they all involve micromanaging your life.
Speaker 1: Check this out.
Speaker 10: Vehicle miles traveled in message.
Speaker 11: Saying that electric vehicles aren't enough to reach the net
Speaker 11: zero carbon mandate by twenty fifty. Eighty two year old
Speaker 11: State Senator Cynthia Cream has introduced a bill that would
Speaker 11: keep track and limit the number of miles you drive
Speaker 11: with your vehicle.
Speaker 10: Now's the time to pursue new strategies additional strategies for
Speaker 10: reducing transportation emission.
Speaker 11: The bill establishes a panel that will be responsible for
Speaker 11: creating fines and penalties if you go above the limit.
Speaker 10: Would require the come most transportation investment plans to provide
Speaker 10: a reasonable pathway to compliance with our emissional.
Speaker 12: Limits, mileage vouchers.
Speaker 10: To promote alternative modes of transportation like public transit, biking, walking.
Speaker 1: Have you learned how to write a bike him.
Speaker 10: Thinking about our future needs for transportation options other than
Speaker 10: cause we have to walk.
Speaker 11: The legislation like this is a clear indication that it's
Speaker 11: pastime for Cynthia Creams, you retire and take up a hobby.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, where she says, cause too is just
Speaker 2: is a thousand percent more annoying to So look, man,
Speaker 2: I understand that generalation. Generationally, most people of your age
Speaker 2: never traveled with outside forty miles where they were born.
Speaker 2: It was just the way things were done when we
Speaker 2: were settling in the prairie and all that. But shut up,
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna put a registry together. And if
Speaker 2: you drive too many miles, well, how does that work?
Speaker 2: If you get if you live in the in the
Speaker 2: center of the like Boston or whatever, and everything's right
Speaker 2: around fine, But you know there's other parts of Massachusets
Speaker 2: where you gotta drive a little ways, and how does
Speaker 2: that work in other states like I don't know, Wyoming,
Speaker 2: where everything is is forever away. You just got you're
Speaker 2: just gonna have to turn to nature and you know,
Speaker 2: harvest the animals of the earth.
Speaker 1: Shut up.
Speaker 2: Eighty two years old, what did your wagon team. Did
Speaker 2: those miles count against or it's it only for your vehicle?
Speaker 2: It is very unclear here. And of course he's from Massachusetts,
Speaker 2: so she could be equal parts annoying and have bad ideas,
Speaker 2: but also be very difficult to listen to and probably
Speaker 2: a Patriots fan now that I think about it.
Speaker 1: So strike number two.
Speaker 2: All right, So we got that insanity, but we got
Speaker 2: some local insanity too.
Speaker 1: And you know, one of the people we've.
Speaker 2: Talked about on the show here over the years is
Speaker 2: the Reverend William Barber, sometimes refer to him as Senator sole.
Speaker 1: Glow, the Bufface Layer, who, of.
Speaker 2: Course, when he was not antagonizing people in North Carolina
Speaker 2: by committing acts of social disobedience that he then never
Speaker 2: wanted him or his followers to actually be held accountable for,
Speaker 2: which defeats the whole purpose. Right, you do this thing
Speaker 2: because you believe so passionately in this thing that you're
Speaker 2: willing to face the consequences. Yet he constructed a perfect
Speaker 2: system where they could go and he could, you know,
Speaker 2: shut down the ability of the North Carolina llegen to
Speaker 2: do things be hauled away in an ambulance because that's
Speaker 2: the only way to get him out of there, and
Speaker 2: then he and hundreds of supporters basically have their cases
Speaker 2: thrown out because the whole thing is just it's just
Speaker 2: insane bias that goes up in there, and the judiciary
Speaker 2: is fine to sit there and throw January six people
Speaker 2: into the tombs, yet never hold accountable people who are
Speaker 2: literally doing the.
Speaker 1: Insurrection within our own state capitol.
Speaker 2: Wildly frustrated, and then because he was so good at it,
Speaker 2: he was given this national seat of prominence with this
Speaker 2: Poor People's Campaign or whatever it's called, so he could
Speaker 2: go do it on a national level, and do you know,
Speaker 2: combination of souls to the polls, rallying with race bating
Speaker 2: politics and just all the horribleness out there, and the
Speaker 2: entire time people are like, man, I want what's this
Speaker 2: guy's why?
Speaker 1: What's the grift? Man?
Speaker 2: And when people would suggest it might be the money,
Speaker 2: they were essentially told to know that he's just so
Speaker 2: passionate about it. Well, according to his ex wife, it
Speaker 2: might be the money. Yeah, So this story getting buried
Speaker 2: on the Friday going into Memorial Day weekend, William J. Boba,
Speaker 2: the former head of the North Carolina NAACP, and that
Speaker 2: leads a national nonprofit volts focused on economic and racial justice,
Speaker 2: has been accused of redirecting funds from that group for
Speaker 2: alimony payments and other personal issues. I will say this,
Speaker 2: I've heard some stories over the years, first person accounts
Speaker 2: of interactions with William Barber, in one case by a
Speaker 2: female news reporter, news anchor that frankly, they didn't want
Speaker 2: to go, they didn't want to get they didn't want
Speaker 2: to go on the record for whatever reason. But the story,
Speaker 2: the story was communicated to me by this individual. And
Speaker 2: let's just say that there was an era where this
Speaker 2: would have been the downfall if it were true. And
Speaker 2: I have no reason to think the person wasn't telling
Speaker 2: me a true story. They had nothing to gain from it.
Speaker 2: They never pursued it in any monetary way. They shared
Speaker 2: a story about a situation and a very uncomfortable situation
Speaker 2: that transpire between them allegedly and William Barber. Let's just
Speaker 2: say it was a female news reporter whose name you
Speaker 2: would know, and leave it at that. If they want
Speaker 2: to tell that story publicly, they're welcome to. So this
Speaker 2: is coming in this case from his ex wife, So
Speaker 2: you know, take that for what it's worth. Sometimes this
Speaker 2: stuff gets nasty, but some very specific allegations.
Speaker 1: Having to do with the finances that.
Speaker 2: Frankly, I you know, maybe it's true, maybe it's not.
Speaker 2: Now Barber's lawyer, they have weighed in on this.
Speaker 12: We believe the claims were filed for the sole purpose
Speaker 12: of gaining a tactical advantage in his pending property division
Speaker 12: litigation with his former spouse.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, which, by the way, very well.
Speaker 1: Could be the case.
Speaker 2: These things get nasked, right, people lying on you know,
Speaker 2: especially like kids custody stuff gets so nasty where you know,
Speaker 2: people will go out in the file restraining orders saying
Speaker 2: that they're they're abusing them the or the kids, and
Speaker 2: they're doing it to go ahead and get an upper
Speaker 2: hand there. But this is about division of assets. And
Speaker 2: the one thing that nobody seems to disagree with is
Speaker 2: William Barber's gotten very rich doing this. Dude has made
Speaker 2: bank or at least his nonprofits have. And uh, you know,
Speaker 2: when you're traveling all around your high profile, you're getting
Speaker 2: some pretty significant speaking fees. Like it's understandable, but you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes that still doesn't cover at all, especially when you're
Speaker 2: purporting to be from the poor people's campaign. Just literally
Speaker 2: what it's called a jet setting might rub some people
Speaker 2: the wrong way. Specifically, though, this allegation surrounds the nonprofit,
Speaker 2: a Goldsborough based group called Repairers of the Breach, and
Speaker 2: they want have brought into litigation over distribution, saying that
Speaker 2: millions of dollars in assets reported by the group should
Speaker 2: be fair game for her to take as part of
Speaker 2: the divorce. Now, this is where it gets complicated, because
Speaker 2: if it is all for the nonprofit, and while he
Speaker 2: may control the business itself, it's not necessarily his money.
Speaker 2: It becomes something else entirely if you're using it to
Speaker 2: essentially fund your lifestyle, because now it's it looks like
Speaker 2: it's more of like a shell corporation kind of thing,
Speaker 2: So it will be interested interesting. Rebecca Barber claims rex
Speaker 2: husband quote maintains de facto control over the financial accounts,
Speaker 2: suggesting that it's being used as an instrument of his
Speaker 2: personal financial affairs.
Speaker 1: So we'll be paying attention to this for sure, for sure.
Speaker 2: All right eight forty six Ray Stagic from the Weather
Speaker 2: Channel here he wants you to pay attention to weather because.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of it and it's going to
Speaker 1: be with you most of the week.
Speaker 9: Yeah, rain out there now east of I ninety five
Speaker 9: is where it's just crossing, so from the triangle of
Speaker 9: the Triad. Even some heavier rain showers now are steadier
Speaker 9: rain coming through bright Wood and Brown Summit Stokesdale as
Speaker 9: we get out tour to Guildford County, so just drives carefully.
Speaker 9: The rain's gonna slows down this morning, and we may
Speaker 9: even get a little more rain into the afternoon, maybe
Speaker 9: rumble of thunder and a very cool day. We're kind
Speaker 9: of wedged in casey, so many of us not getting
Speaker 9: out of the sixties today and maybe even the low sixties,
Speaker 9: and then tonight occasional rain, some more rain around tomorrow.
Speaker 9: I think a lot of it will start becoming more
Speaker 9: scattered as the morning progresses Tomorrow, even a few thunderstorms.
Speaker 9: So really I think today we get the most widespread,
Speaker 9: steady rain. Tomorrow, midupper seventies. It's still Thursday, Friday, some showers,
Speaker 9: thunder showers around. I think we're gonna reset. This is
Speaker 9: the way it looks for the weekend. Finally get a
Speaker 9: front through to get us out of this. I think
Speaker 9: we're back into sunshine and mild weather into the eighties
Speaker 9: for Saturdays Sunday, and even tried to take a sneak
Speaker 9: peek ahead early next week. Looks pretty nice too, So
Speaker 9: kind of predy here this week, but better days ahead,
Speaker 9: especially by the weekend.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, sir, appreciate it, and we'll come back
Speaker 2: with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff,
Speaker 2: what's happening?
Speaker 1: Well, Good morning, casey.
Speaker 6: President Trump may have helped to set the stage for
Speaker 6: a Wall Street rebound when the market's reopen after the
Speaker 6: long holiday weekend. The President has said he will hold
Speaker 6: off on new European Union tariffs until July ninth. Stocks
Speaker 6: moved lower on Friday after the tariffs were first announced,
Speaker 6: but the futures have been solidly higher all morning.
Speaker 1: A Now, futures are.

Speaker 6: will hear there's been a modest pickup in consumer confidence
Speaker 6: over the last month. The Conference Board will release its

Speaker 1: Hour from now.

Speaker 1: Casey so when it's a remake of a movie that's
Speaker 1: not even that older. I know, apparently I was.
Speaker 6: I had not heard of Leelo and Stitch, and I said,
Speaker 6: it's a remake, and someone said, yeah, there was another.
Speaker 2: One, so okay, and then another the kids show about
Speaker 2: a talking melon or something.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, I've got to confess I had never heard
Speaker 6: of cocoa melon until this morning.
Speaker 1: When the story.
Speaker 2: I have a feeling that's probably for the best, because
Speaker 2: those tens get a little annoying. So all right, well, Jeff,
Speaker 2: do appreciate it, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Okay, have a great day, take care. There you go,
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. Is it a talking melon? It's
Speaker 1: probably not right. No, they're like babies. They're like cartoon babies.

Speaker 1: on Twitter their songs, like they have like specific songs
Speaker 1: that are very popular, but like Lelo and Stitch they
Speaker 1: had their own ride at Disney World, like Magic Kingdom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard of Leelo and Stitch and so like
Speaker 2: when they're doing like you're doing redos and stuff that
Speaker 2: I was too old for even at the time.
Speaker 1: So that makes me feel extra old. It's like the
Speaker 1: live action thing now. I mean, I don't know how

Speaker 2: I just remember watching a dude vandalize at Tesla in
Speaker 2: a pair of pajama pants with them on.
Speaker 1: There's a controversy though with that movie. With the live
Speaker 1: action movie, they've of course, they sort of woke ified
Speaker 1: the ending of the movie, okay, destroying the entire theme
Speaker 1: of the original movie. Maybe we can talk to Steven

Speaker 2: you about that god awful Fountain of View thing on
Speaker 2: AT and T or AT and T excuse me, Apple TV.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what the hell that thing was
Speaker 1: supposed to be. It was pretty awful though. All Right.

Speaker 2: go down to Australian and get attacked by a gang
Speaker 2: of ruse, you're not.
Speaker 1: Going to be able to defend yourself.
Speaker 2: Because apparently they're getting ready to outlaw machetes in Australia,
Speaker 2: which kills me. Because what's one of the most famous
Speaker 2: things that we know about the Australian experience, their perceived
Speaker 2: superiority on what is a knife and what is not
Speaker 2: a knife?
Speaker 1: Right, very famous. That's not a knife, this is a knife. Right.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if Crocodile Dundee was not able to
Speaker 2: utter that iconic line in the movie, Well, pretty quick,
Speaker 2: that's that's where we're gonna be
