Speaker 1: Somebody's true with my board yesterday, so ross we like
Speaker 1: the levels. Everything is happy there, yeah so far okay,
Speaker 1: all right. Uh, we had a we had a big shindig,
Speaker 1: big client shindig here at the radio station, and you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's just like touring, and so I think one of
Speaker 1: the promotions people because the board was all it doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't look very impressive when not in use. So
Speaker 1: I think somebody just came in here and like moved
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff, so it looked like things were happening.
Speaker 1: But you know that was in the evening. We got
Speaker 1: a syndicated shown, so nothing's happening.
Speaker 2: So uh okay.
Speaker 3: You know you walk by it and it's like what
Speaker 3: you would assume it would it should look like right right,
Speaker 3: like I'm gonna put this thing over here and this
Speaker 3: thing over there.
Speaker 2: It looks like it's being used, but it's not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although it isn't, should it would it would look
Speaker 1: like because every they did a thing where it almost
Speaker 1: was like a not to describe it.
Speaker 3: It looked like what you see when you see like
Speaker 3: doctor Dre or somebody producing a video.
Speaker 1: And yeah, right, so where they are going to be,
Speaker 1: they're going to be so. But what he's talking about
Speaker 1: with one of those boards is you would have that
Speaker 1: because you have every segment of the melody. Ever this thing,
Speaker 1: each thing does its own thing, so generally you want
Speaker 1: the levels the same, right, the button bar levels, there's
Speaker 1: three of them, the same, the mic level, the PC
Speaker 1: on my left. You want it all the same. And
Speaker 1: they hit it was like a cascade. That's exactly what
Speaker 1: it is. Guys should have been yodeling up it, right.
Speaker 3: It's somebody from promotions or somebody who was helping put
Speaker 3: the party together last night. Yeah, that's what they've seen
Speaker 3: in video numerous times when you have these producers putting
Speaker 3: together songs. But it's a completely different sort of board.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, and I'm not knocking on them. They did it.
Speaker 1: They put on a really good event last night.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I think that might be the most well attended client
Speaker 1: event that we've ever that in my what thirteen fourteen,
Speaker 1: fifteen years, however long we've been here.
Speaker 3: Man, Can we just say that I went to the
Speaker 3: thing and I didn't die have a panic attack, So
Speaker 3: I would like everyone to clap.
Speaker 1: I was okay, I didn't know if you're going to
Speaker 1: get into this, so something happened yesterday. Ross showed up
Speaker 1: to one of these and I wasn't surprised because he
Speaker 1: told obviously we told you.
Speaker 2: He said, Hey, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised when he told me, but
Speaker 1: like it made sense because we got all the big
Speaker 1: bosses in from out of town and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: But what was fun.
Speaker 1: The fun thing was one he shows up and he
Speaker 1: got his phone and he marks his time when he
Speaker 1: gets here, and and then like I don't know if
Speaker 1: you had an alarm.
Speaker 2: But he was like, all right, this many minutes.
Speaker 1: But was watching the faces of all of our co
Speaker 1: workers when you'd cut, like come around a corner or something,
Speaker 1: cause most of these people don't see the morning hosts.
Speaker 2: Yeah know, it's like a big foot sighting.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, I know. I told Trevor Ross
Speaker 1: is all blurry. I don't know if you know this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just he's like, hey, look at him. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what is that blurry thing in the next studio?
Speaker 2: So pixelated? Yeah, what were you telling something? I told Trevor.
Speaker 2: I got I'll give you an hour. I'm very busy.
Speaker 2: He's such a diva. No, it's you know how you know,
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: No, you got the wife and the kid at home,
Speaker 3: and yeah, but it's also a complete introvert panic attacks
Speaker 3: sort of sure, yeah, completely psychological, it really is.
Speaker 2: It's bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like people don't understand that. Like, I have major
Speaker 3: issues when it comes to stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It was interesting because there's co workers who we rea.
Speaker 1: There's some coworkers where we changed. They're more in the
Speaker 1: behind the scenes like traffic, which is not traffic like, hey,
Speaker 1: there's an accident on forty, But it's basically the people
Speaker 1: who handle getting all the spots from the cellars and
Speaker 1: then you know, Ross and I or any other host
Speaker 1: of wasting them and then they end up in the
Speaker 1: log and that's a lot of work, man, and they
Speaker 1: kind of reformulated how they did it so the og
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: Allison.
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen Alison in I don't remember the last
Speaker 1: time I saw Alison because she's not in the building anymore.
Speaker 1: And you were you there when she said that she
Speaker 1: couldn't even get in the building because.
Speaker 2: They no, I was unaware.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So she tried to use her little fop thing
Speaker 1: in and she's she's technically a remote now, which which
Speaker 1: she's loving, but like she's like, I couldn't get into
Speaker 1: the building.
Speaker 2: So yeah, dude, it was fun. It was a good time.
Speaker 1: Then I had to go to a dinner after, which
Speaker 1: was great actually, but when you go to those dinners
Speaker 1: after a client party and then you got to get
Speaker 1: up and do a morning show, you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: be on fun at the dinner. So we got, you know,
Speaker 1: and we went to uh, went to Raise Steakhouse, right,
Speaker 1: so that's all family style, and you know, you got
Speaker 1: everyone wants appetizers because you got clients there and the
Speaker 1: whole thing. And so it's it's not like I popped
Speaker 1: into Denny's like the dinner was. You know, at that point,
Speaker 1: it's like two hours. They're getting a they're getting wine
Speaker 1: and all that at one glass and I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: you're everyone's now having a great time. I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 2: So but it's not the personal, it's just I gotta
Speaker 2: be up there very very early.
Speaker 3: So I came up the elevator yesterday, like I told you,
Speaker 3: I was gonna get there.
Speaker 2: Before thirty, and you showed spot on right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I get off the elevator and the girls
Speaker 3: standing there and I've never seen this girl. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: and she's like, hi, welcome too, and I go, I
Speaker 3: work here, and she.
Speaker 2: She looks at me like she did the same thing
Speaker 2: to me. She looked at me like you do.
Speaker 1: She had promotions assistant, and the promotions assistants generally do like,
Speaker 1: you know, when we have remotes or we have things
Speaker 1: coming up, and it's mostly with the music stations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're not here at four in the morning,
Speaker 2: so she had no right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they work, you know, they like they had
Speaker 1: the concert at red Hat last night. They had they
Speaker 1: were I think they were down at one of the
Speaker 1: Clockwork or one of.
Speaker 2: The breweries there.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they never see They only see the morning
Speaker 1: people on the off chance we do a remote with them.
Speaker 1: And Ross and I don't really do a lot of remotes,
Speaker 1: so which is fine. It's a you know, the music
Speaker 1: stuff around the concerts, that's who they interact with all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: So I got up there and it was the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, hi, welcome to ihearten and I you just
Speaker 1: I should have said what you just said, because I
Speaker 1: saw the table with the name tags. So I walked
Speaker 1: over and I just subtenly picked mine up and was
Speaker 1: putting it on and on it it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: got the name and it says what I do. And
Speaker 1: then she's like, all right, who's your AE? And I'm
Speaker 1: like I kind of looked down at it and then
Speaker 1: it click click and he click click. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well that we just told spent ten minutes
Speaker 1: telling you about a party you didn't get to go do,
Speaker 1: but it was fun. You should have been there. And
Speaker 1: if you've got a business you want to advertise, you
Speaker 1: can come to the next one. Love to have you,
Speaker 1: all right. Six thirteen coming up on the show. Now,
Speaker 1: I now know what the term crash out means because
Speaker 1: I saw the liver King video. That thing's what's going
Speaker 1: on there. Ross has some theories and I think he's right,
Speaker 1: but also Joe Rogan said those theories, and liver King
Speaker 1: tried to tried to murder him or assault him or
Speaker 1: fight him.
Speaker 2: At the very least. The whole thing is so weird.
Speaker 2: I guess like.
Speaker 3: Liver King is piste off because he keeps coming up
Speaker 3: in like Rogan conversations with different guests, and it's always
Speaker 3: the same sort of thing where it's like, hey, here's
Speaker 3: this guy who did who said he wasn't on steroids,
Speaker 3: and then it came out that, hey, guess what he
Speaker 3: is on steroids? Big shocker there. Yeah, you know, and
Speaker 3: it's it's pretty obvious. And he's tired of being the
Speaker 3: but of these jokes, of the topic of conversation, I
Speaker 3: guess and he.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, here's the problem.
Speaker 1: He was not tired of all of the energy when
Speaker 1: he was running around eating uh, liver and testicles and
Speaker 1: telling everyone that they had to do it. And then
Speaker 1: you know, it was a bit of a side show too,
Speaker 1: because you remember, you show up to like local he
Speaker 1: like the ABC affiliate in LA with a big bowl
Speaker 1: of liver and eat in front of people, like a
Speaker 1: side show.
Speaker 2: But the dudes like, you know, he he.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he looked ripped, because he's
Speaker 1: always kind of looked a little rough, but you know,
Speaker 1: he's a lot It looked like he's a lot better
Speaker 1: shape than I am. So there's that and and so
Speaker 1: it was that nature. The problem is once you get
Speaker 1: a little prominence, especially in that field, because it's so competitive, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's competitive, but there's so much also
Speaker 3: science behind it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so if they got something on you, they're
Speaker 1: they're gonna get into it, like I don't and he
Speaker 1: made memory made the worst apology video ever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but especially if you're denying doing something where everybody
Speaker 3: who is in the business understands what you're doing right, right, right,
Speaker 3: because there are people now who are big fitness influencers
Speaker 3: who have used steroids.
Speaker 2: In the past and have it been O Joe Joey
Speaker 2: swoll right, completely.
Speaker 3: Honest about it and he's even yeah, and that kind
Speaker 3: of if you're open and honest about it, it can
Speaker 3: sort of be like forgiven, right, But when you're just
Speaker 3: denying it and denying it and you're like, no, the
Speaker 3: secret to my success is this giant bowl of rawd chicken.
Speaker 3: Then I'm gonna pour milk on approaching powder and put
Speaker 3: some liver guts in there, and that that's how. And
Speaker 3: you know, I boving bovine testicles.
Speaker 1: This is this is Rocky we call the Rocky Mountain
Speaker 1: oysters where I'm from.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I mean you're a fraud. What wait,
Speaker 2: why am I fraud?
Speaker 5: Not you?
Speaker 3: But I mean, if you're that's the secret, and like,
Speaker 3: oh no, I wouldn't touch steroids. And now that you
Speaker 3: know I'm against Come on, dude, everybody knows. Everybody knows.
Speaker 2: Look at you.
Speaker 1: How do we not have Liver King's apology in this?
Speaker 1: I know we played it. Hum, I'll find a transcript.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about dubin it. If you fight in the system,
Speaker 1: throw it up there. I swear we played it. Was
Speaker 1: just it was so bad. The thing was so bad,
Speaker 1: and I honestly I hadn't really heard a lot about
Speaker 1: him for since kind of after that, because that obviously
Speaker 1: dismantled some stuff. Going back to Joey swot, those are
Speaker 1: voices you need because like you you mentioned that, you
Speaker 1: see you've seen an uptick in like high school age
Speaker 1: kids coming in the gym there, you know, and like
Speaker 1: the only I played football, so there was a gym
Speaker 1: aspect and you and later in high school that can
Speaker 1: be your pe.
Speaker 2: You can do weightlifting. So I did do that, but
Speaker 2: like it's.
Speaker 1: Not when you're seventeen you don't really need to, you know,
Speaker 1: but a lot of kids want to do it.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are doing it right now.
Speaker 1: And so having somebody like Joey Swall who's got very
Speaker 1: high profile, and we'll speak honestly about Hey, I made
Speaker 1: this decision. Here's the bad stuff that happened. Plus you're seventeen,
Speaker 1: you guys, and you know so you you don't need this.
Speaker 1: You never need this. And I'm and this happened to
Speaker 1: me in that cautionary tale. That's great, man, that's absolutely
Speaker 1: what you want.
Speaker 3: There's a new trend with the kids now, and I mean, like,
Speaker 3: you know, younger kids, high school and stuff. Everybody seems
Speaker 3: younger to me now, but you know, you know, if
Speaker 3: you're like younger than forty five, I'm going to call
Speaker 3: you a kid. Yeah, but like like it is it
Speaker 3: like gen Z where the gym now does free like
Speaker 3: free stuff for high schoolers during the summer so they
Speaker 3: have something to do or they can like you know,
Speaker 3: keep moving and stay in shape. So when the summer hits,
Speaker 3: all these kids just like invade the gym. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: it's so weird because yeah, yeah, they're super young, but
Speaker 3: they don't need to be there because they all weigh
Speaker 3: like a buck twenty.
Speaker 2: Ross was going on an old tangent the other day.
Speaker 3: It is kind of annoying because you go there and
Speaker 3: they all sort of like, you know, they they crowd
Speaker 3: over the machines, and they talk and they're on their phones.
Speaker 3: But they are there and they're on the machine, so
Speaker 3: it is it is a positive. But you see it's
Speaker 3: also where you know, gen Z isn't drinking and they're
Speaker 3: much more healthy, and for them it is a complete
Speaker 3: lifestyle thing, like they don't need to be there, but
Speaker 3: they're there because that's what's popular to do. Like it's
Speaker 3: popular to be in shape and to be on the
Speaker 3: machines and to work on yourself. So that's a positive,
Speaker 3: but it is annoying because I want to get in
Speaker 3: the machine.
Speaker 2: And get out of my gym. I marched with the King, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: let me on there. I'm middle aged and you know
Speaker 2: I need I need to actually do you realize how
Speaker 2: much I need this. I need to be here.
Speaker 3: I am middle age, you know what I mean, and
Speaker 3: I'm trying to really be you know, care about myself.
Speaker 3: You literally have metabolism of a hamster, and you don't
Speaker 3: need to be here. There's no fat on your body
Speaker 3: anywhere you are. You are, you're ninety pounds when wet.
Speaker 1: As long as you touch grass to some extent, it'll
Speaker 1: work out.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I know, other than the weightlifting class, I never had
Speaker 1: to because me and my buddies would like to. We'd
Speaker 1: be like, let's go up to sour Dough, which was
Speaker 1: a huge mountain park up there, and let's walk all
Speaker 1: the way up the hill at like seven thousand, five
Speaker 1: hundred elevation, which would kill you, It would kill me now,
Speaker 1: and we're just like, let's go up and see if
Speaker 1: we can spot elk just for something to do.
Speaker 2: And it's like a three hour hike and we just
Speaker 2: do that on the regular I know.
Speaker 3: Back in my day, like, yeah, there were kids that
Speaker 3: would hang out in the weight room or the gym,
Speaker 3: but they were all like varsity correct athletes, and now
Speaker 3: it's like all of them now it doesn't matter like
Speaker 3: computer nerd chess club. Yeah, you know, you're on the
Speaker 3: football team. They're all there. They're all at the gym,
Speaker 3: and they all care about their fitness, which is a
Speaker 3: good thing.
Speaker 1: The other thing is too, there's probably so many people
Speaker 1: at the gym right now because it's six nineteen listening
Speaker 1: to this, staring around and like, I one middle age,
Speaker 1: but we also have a lot of younger male listeners
Speaker 1: who are like, am I the problem? You're not the problem? Okay,
Speaker 1: it's if you're just look, if you're embracing it and
Speaker 1: you're doing your thing, and you just hear you're hitting
Speaker 1: the machine courteous to other people, you're good to go.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, my experience, like six o'clock, like four to like
Speaker 3: seven in the morning, the gym isn't an issue. It's
Speaker 3: like later in the afternoon instead of like back in
Speaker 3: my day, like I said, you would sleep all day,
Speaker 3: you'd party at night, and you play video games.
Speaker 2: So now they go to the gym. Yeah, so weird.
Speaker 1: All right, six twenty we got we got a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff to get into and some well we got
Speaker 1: some Daddy Trump audio if you haven't heard that, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: And jd Vance was on fire yesterday. So we'll get
Speaker 1: to all that much more coming up. KCO Day Radio program.
Speaker 1: Quick phone calls, Sue, what's what's up?
Speaker 2: Good morning? Hello? Sue? Are you there?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, you're on there. What's what's going on?
Speaker 6: Hm?
Speaker 2: You have a question.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was wondering with them, not wanting to give them
Speaker 7: any more money for the hurricane aid in Nashville. I
Speaker 7: was wondering, how do you feel about it? In other words,
Speaker 7: should should they? Should they cut it? Off now or
Speaker 7: do you think they they need more assistance?
Speaker 1: Well, who's not wanting to give them any more money?
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's nail that down because.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the General Assembly they write said they might go
Speaker 7: to recess without passing any more money for anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, no, no, no, yeah.
Speaker 1: And that's why I just want to clarify for people listening,
Speaker 1: because there are still federal flow through dollars that are
Speaker 1: we're allocated by Trump even though it was reported and
Speaker 1: lied about by our governor saying they cut off the
Speaker 1: you know, the the clearing stuff.
Speaker 2: And they actually just reduced it to ninety percent.
Speaker 1: I you know what, I I have a nuanced answer
Speaker 1: for you, Sue, because so can I do this because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to break. When I come back from
Speaker 1: my bottom of the hour break, I'll give you my
Speaker 1: opinion not just on Ashville, but some of the other
Speaker 1: stuff that I saw because I drove through. I spent
Speaker 1: Sunday driving basically the backcountry roads through from Ashville.
Speaker 2: Up to Boone because I wanted to see other communities.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna hang up and then when
Speaker 1: I we come back from my commercial break, I will
Speaker 1: answer your question, So stay listening, okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you so much all her Sue, and she was
Speaker 1: inquiring about the the need, the continued need for aid
Speaker 1: in western North Carolina. Obviously, we had the broadcast here
Speaker 1: last week. I was up in Ashville. We talked to
Speaker 1: folks from all over Asheville and Black.
Speaker 2: Mountain and Canton and quite a few other places.
Speaker 1: But after the broadcast had completed, I stayed up in Asheville.
Speaker 1: I had some stuff to do. On Saturday, dude, I
Speaker 1: went to the Basilica up there. If I don't care
Speaker 1: if you're not, if you're not Catholic, Basilica is is
Speaker 1: different than just a Catholic church, for those of you
Speaker 1: who don't know. So there are what are known as
Speaker 1: major Basilicas and then minor Basilicas. There's four major Basilicas
Speaker 1: and they're all in Rome and Ross. You yes that
Speaker 1: you know the movie where they kind of played it
Speaker 1: as part of it was that the second or the
Speaker 1: third one of those that was the second. It was
Speaker 1: the second of the Dan Brown movies there So, although
Speaker 1: it wasn't one hundred percent, but those are the four
Speaker 1: major basilicas. A minor Basilica is still a special thing
Speaker 1: within the church, and they're usually ornate and and they
Speaker 1: have more artifacts too. So the one, the one in
Speaker 1: Asheville has four artifacts and one of them is a
Speaker 1: piece of the cross. And basically, a pope's got to
Speaker 1: be like, you're an awesome I'm gonna miss please don't
Speaker 1: get mad at me. It's been a while since Catechism. Basically,
Speaker 1: a pope's gotta pick you out as a very special place,
Speaker 1: and you get this basilica status. We had one in
Speaker 1: Minneapolis and is very beautiful, and so when you see
Speaker 1: one and Ashville has one, it's very interesting. What was
Speaker 1: super interesting, though, is I go into the basilica and
Speaker 1: if you've ever been in a Catholic church, generally where
Speaker 1: you walk in is holy water, right, and so you
Speaker 1: dip sign of the Cross, you kneel a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, generally you'll kneel before you then get into
Speaker 1: the pew. Okay, sign of the cross. Boom up in Well,
Speaker 1: COVID changed some stuff. Ross I sent you that picture
Speaker 1: of how they're doing the holy water now, right, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's very official.
Speaker 2: It's it's what is official? I mean it it is
Speaker 2: so it is.
Speaker 1: It looks like a black purel hand sanitizer dispenser. It's cylindrical,
Speaker 1: but it has a big cross on it because if not,
Speaker 1: people were thinking it's hand sanitizer. And I don't know
Speaker 1: how God feels about that, right, like no, just a
Speaker 1: little the thing or rubbing it in their hands. They
Speaker 1: the they you know, you can go and you can
Speaker 1: just go visit it. They got pretty pretty broad hours.
Speaker 1: You go to service there if you want as well,
Speaker 1: the old service there obviously. So we go in and uh,
Speaker 1: they got there's like there's there's a dude buried there
Speaker 1: and it's above ground grave and all that, and you know,
Speaker 1: which is pretty common in basilicas. Uh, some of them
Speaker 1: have some real major, big time historical figures buried buried
Speaker 1: within these churches. So and so I like I would
Speaker 1: I would recommend that the basilica. And they're going through
Speaker 1: like some renovation stuff that's not really storm related. Because
Speaker 1: to answer your question, Sue, when you get into downtown Asheville,
Speaker 1: right the area where all of a sudden the parking
Speaker 1: gets interesting, there's a thousand restaurants all of that that
Speaker 1: sits high enough up that the damage that hit that
Speaker 1: part of it, which which definitely thinned out some of
Speaker 1: the restaurants, although I talked to some people who were
Speaker 1: not in the restaurant industry who thought that maybe maybe
Speaker 1: there was too there was too many up there. So
Speaker 1: I'll let you guys decide. What hurt them was not
Speaker 1: physical water damage of their buildings, but what it did
Speaker 1: to the you know, the at large area there. Because
Speaker 1: once you get away from there and you get down
Speaker 1: to like Builtmore Village, which sits much lower, much lower,
Speaker 1: or the River Arts District, which sits next to the river,
Speaker 1: the damage was much more extensive. And they've made a
Speaker 1: lot of headway there, but that's the story of Ashville,
Speaker 1: and and there's still a lot of stuff. You get
Speaker 1: down to Biltmore Village. The fancy McDonald's ain't even open yet,
Speaker 1: although it's soon to be open. That Hearty's I think
Speaker 1: has probably cooked. And so we talked to the Biltmore
Speaker 1: Village late. I mean, they're making headway there, but you
Speaker 1: have to keep in mind too that that area, that
Speaker 1: that little chunk of property there by Biltmore Village and
Speaker 1: Ashville in general, is that's a huge tax, tax revenue source.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: The more people they're shoveling up into the up into
Speaker 1: the Biltmore facility there and and spending money up there.
Speaker 1: It's it's not just great locally for them, but it
Speaker 1: it It generates a lot of revenue for the state.
Speaker 1: But you can't just concentrate on Ashville because once you
Speaker 1: get outside of it, and like the Parkway from Ashville,
Speaker 1: if you guys know anything about it, if we head
Speaker 1: north out of Ashville, one of the ways you actually
Speaker 1: can go out Tunnel Road and then get on the
Speaker 1: Parkway there, or you can head north on this road
Speaker 1: called Town Mountain Road, And that's how most people, I
Speaker 1: think go if they're heading north out of Ashville, because
Speaker 1: it's a nice little drive all on its own. Where
Speaker 1: that connects to the parkways closed and Cobb Road, which
Speaker 1: is the other big road there is that's completely closed.
Speaker 1: So once you get there, you dead end, so you
Speaker 1: have to literally go out, go through I can't remember
Speaker 1: the name of the little starts with the W. It's
Speaker 1: just the little town north of Asheville. And then on
Speaker 1: the highway which now is taking truck traffic because of
Speaker 1: what happened on forty and you take the exit for
Speaker 1: like Spruce Pine and Hendersonville and you go over there,
Speaker 1: and I've been to.
Speaker 2: All these places.
Speaker 1: So I get to Hendersonville and the rivers around like
Speaker 1: bridges are gone still and they're in the process of
Speaker 1: reconstructing some bridges. Hendersonville's downtown, which is usually pop, and
Speaker 1: they got a little downtown. If you've never been to Hendersonville,
Speaker 1: it was very soft on the number of people. And
Speaker 1: I actually drove onto the main street because again I'm
Speaker 1: on a fact finding mission. From there up to Spruce
Speaker 1: Pine and then you do what's called the this climb
Speaker 1: to Lynnville, right and they call it the little Parkway.
Speaker 1: I think it's the little cutesie name they have for it.
Speaker 1: But it's one of those roads because now you're climbing
Speaker 1: in elevation to get to the Parkway. That's nothing but switchbacks,
Speaker 1: well switchbacks by nature, switched back. And then there's the
Speaker 1: there's the flow of water that comes down the hill
Speaker 1: and usually it's pushed under the road because it's now
Speaker 1: it's a slope you're climbing, and it creates the v's
Speaker 1: where the cricks and the water gets pushed through. And
Speaker 1: I don't know how I'm trying to describe this on
Speaker 1: the radio. What was what was? They're not meandering streams anymore. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're not meandering streams. And so every time to a
Speaker 1: switchback where there'd be a normal creek that would then
Speaker 1: go through a culvert under the road and everything, you'd
Speaker 1: be fine.
Speaker 2: All the earth is gone.
Speaker 1: So it's it's almost like you have these like raid
Speaker 1: you know, you just like these little mini slices just
Speaker 1: taken out on all these cutbacks, and I'm like where,
Speaker 1: and there's and and and the debris not there. So
Speaker 1: as soon as you then get to the top, before
Speaker 1: you get to Grandfather, they have an enormous pasture with
Speaker 1: all the debris, and the debris is probably forty feet
Speaker 1: tall and covers a forty acre section. It's just trees
Speaker 1: and dirt and parts of people's houses. It's just everything
Speaker 1: that they had to dredge and dig out of there.
Speaker 1: And it's been moved to facilitate to get up there,
Speaker 1: but it's not done. Those bridges are are you can
Speaker 1: get through there and there, and they're they're doing what
Speaker 1: they can. But the massive effort to move all of
Speaker 1: this stuff to make sure that these bridges not just passable,
Speaker 1: which they are, but able to facilitate large amounts of
Speaker 1: traffic that's not done. And I can't speak to each
Speaker 1: project what's been allocated, what's not, but it's clear that
Speaker 1: there is still a lot of work to do. And
Speaker 1: as you get over towards Canton, when we talked to
Speaker 1: Cassie Clark, that's kind of her hometown, it's not done, Swanna.
Speaker 1: Noah's not done. Black Mountain, where our morning host in
Speaker 1: Asheville lives. I went out to his house. He wanted
Speaker 1: to show me what happened. You know, his wife and
Speaker 1: his kids survived because she happened to get stuck on
Speaker 1: a high point and it's surrounded by water, and so she,
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours, maybe not quite that long, like
Speaker 1: sixteen hours, was sitting in her car with all her
Speaker 1: kids trying to flee while Mark's broadcasting. Because they live
Speaker 1: essentially in those Seven Sisters Hills that come out of
Speaker 1: a Black Mountain, and they were just trying to get
Speaker 1: their neighbors out of there, and they didn't get all
Speaker 1: their neighbors out of there, and so you have houses
Speaker 1: that have been moved and slotted over and they just
Speaker 1: kind of cleared a road the brig you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of those roads they funnel the water in longs
Speaker 1: or sister like canals alongside those roads, and that's how
Speaker 1: it moves it. But it became so overwhelmed it also
Speaker 1: washed away a lot of the driveway access to a
Speaker 1: lot of these places, not just homes, but to attach
Speaker 1: to other roads. And as you head north from there
Speaker 1: up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Now Mount Mitchell's closed,
Speaker 1: it's not closed from the flooding. Strangely enough, they had
Speaker 1: like a snow ice incident. But you're able to backtrack
Speaker 1: to places like Little Switzerland. Think of the elevation Little
Speaker 1: Switzerland is and it's the same thing. It's the same thing.
Speaker 1: So when you get into these more rural areas and
Speaker 1: the ability of people to get where they need to
Speaker 1: go on a daily basis, for the people who live
Speaker 1: up there, the people that you interact with when you
Speaker 1: go on vacation with your family, like they're doing it
Speaker 1: but they're not done. And then you're able to then
Speaker 1: drive the parkway like lin Grandfather Mountain was. They were banging,
Speaker 1: but Grandfather Mountain is also they've got some money. They
Speaker 1: have from a topography standpoint, they don't really have a
Speaker 1: lot of flow down that happens there. The area around
Speaker 1: our radio station. The trees are all because the hillside
Speaker 1: went away. Now I'm not I'm not begging for us.
Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out that that's in West Ashville, on
Speaker 1: the side where our station is. Because we're up we're
Speaker 1: then up the up the mountains because we got our
Speaker 1: towers literally on site on the property. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know some people and I've gotten your email. Go
Speaker 1: you know, why would the General Assembly help Ashville? They
Speaker 1: all hate them, and I here's what I would say.
Speaker 1: They don't. I know some of you can get mad
Speaker 1: with me. Ashville is a town and I don't mean
Speaker 1: this in a negative way. It is and I always
Speaker 1: found it's fascinating. It's the meeting of hippies and hillbillies.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: You get over into West Ashville, once you get off
Speaker 1: the little river park there, you're dealing with a few things.
Speaker 1: You're dealing with old school mom and pop like a
Speaker 1: frame places, and you're dealing with all these guys in
Speaker 1: work trucks with their you know, I think you think
Speaker 1: you're in like Johnston County or something.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you mentioned that because last time
Speaker 3: we drove through, we stopped for gas. Yeah, and so
Speaker 3: we're parked there and like a group of people started
Speaker 3: like hiking through the parking lot. Right, it was obvious
Speaker 3: that they were sort of like, you know, I don't
Speaker 3: know if they were homeless, but it was a well, no, if.
Speaker 1: They were hiking, they have backpacks and stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: because there's two major trails that run through there.
Speaker 2: Well, I just said hiking, I mean walking. Oh, I
Speaker 2: got you.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I said to Markey, actually said, I said,
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're hippies.
Speaker 1: Or hill buildings, right, yeah, yeah, So you know, I
Speaker 1: I'm not going to speak to the political side of it,
Speaker 1: but if you think the entirety of Ashville area is
Speaker 1: nothing but hippies or Black Mountain or anything you got,
Speaker 1: then you don't know the area. So but that shouldn't
Speaker 1: matter because even if even if you like ah, they
Speaker 1: vote differently than I do, it's still a big it's
Speaker 1: still a revenue thing, and they're still North Carolinians. And
Speaker 1: especially when you again in those smaller towns, those those
Speaker 1: aren't North Carolinians that moved here from escaping New York taxes.
Speaker 1: Those are people whose families graves were covered when they
Speaker 1: filled in the dam over there, like these are old
Speaker 1: school mountain folk up there, and they're they're not finished.
Speaker 1: And then you emerge in a community like blowing Rock
Speaker 1: because I ended up taking and oh the lakeside camp
Speaker 1: in at Price is still closed too. The other side's open.
Speaker 1: The lakeside spots just like six of them gold. But
Speaker 1: I got to blowing rock and blow rocks. Blowing rock.
Speaker 1: There's no parking there. One's doing one mile an hour
Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah, staring at everything. It's look, that's
Speaker 1: that's what you expect when you go there. So you
Speaker 1: know they're doing well. I I I'm sure that there's
Speaker 1: some stuff around there.
Speaker 2: But so it's easier for those communities.
Speaker 1: I think because they have numbers, they have maybe better
Speaker 1: insurance in some cases. And but no, there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot to do, and and so the lawmaker's failing to
Speaker 1: reach a budget and saying maybe we'll get some halnaid.
Speaker 1: There's more that needs to be done. So to answer
Speaker 1: your question too, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: If I would say that it's just done in Ashville,
Speaker 1: I would say arguably, Uh, there's a lot of places that.
Speaker 2: Really needed I get I didn't get to see everything.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of towns that I was going to
Speaker 1: go to, but because of the way that I had
Speaker 1: to structure the drive.
Speaker 2: But I will.
Speaker 1: But when but when you're hearing this, I don't want
Speaker 1: you to be dissuaded by not being able to access
Speaker 1: the parkway at Town Mountain Road up to Lynnville area.
Speaker 4: Up there.
Speaker 1: It added about twenty minutes to my drive. But then
Speaker 1: you're right up there where you want to be, up
Speaker 1: by the viaduct, which is cool. That's that's that's all.
Speaker 1: That's all good to go. Most of the trails were
Speaker 1: good to go. If you want to go to the Gorge, that's.
Speaker 2: That you're good to go.
Speaker 1: You just have to you just have I just had
Speaker 1: to get creative on that one segment of it. But
Speaker 1: I want you to understand what you're going to see
Speaker 1: that debris filled. That was the problem was I was
Speaker 1: driving by it and there's not really a pull off
Speaker 1: right there because they've shut it down because there's so
Speaker 1: many trucks coming in and out of there, and I
Speaker 1: there was kind of traffic and I want to be
Speaker 1: that guy flipping a U turn in the middle of
Speaker 1: the the the banner Elk Highway, which is that right there.
Speaker 1: But looking at that debrief and seeing all the trees,
Speaker 1: all the dirt, all the used to be houses, sheds, lawnmowers,
Speaker 1: you know, stuff that was just washed away. Did you
Speaker 1: see they found a North Carolina flag like downstream in
Speaker 1: a tree in some remote place. Some hikers found it
Speaker 1: and it was like they think it's like three hundred
Speaker 1: miles from where it probably came from. I guess I
Speaker 1: had some other was someone with some logoing on there.
Speaker 1: I saw that story. So I think what I would
Speaker 1: say is it depends I don't know who's gotten allocated
Speaker 1: with the previous one, and it's just you know, it's
Speaker 1: just getting.
Speaker 2: The work done.
Speaker 1: But I'd be hard pressed to think that everything that
Speaker 1: is necessary and.
Speaker 2: This is Look, this is what we voted for.
Speaker 1: This is why this is one of the As much
Speaker 1: as I criticized the Republicans, the best thing that they
Speaker 1: ever did was take our state from We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to cut you know, bed Purdue sitting there. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to cut these teacher things, these raises we promised,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to do this and us some
Speaker 1: minor austerity measures to the Republicans got in there and
Speaker 1: they built a rainy day fund in like two terms.
Speaker 1: Well it was a rainy day up there several and
Speaker 1: so this, if this is what it's for literally in
Speaker 1: the name, then yeah, I could see. I could see
Speaker 1: that there's there's some things that still need to be done.
Speaker 1: Because the quicker a community, especially a smaller community where
Speaker 1: they only probably have three or four things that really
Speaker 1: are tourist draws, you know, uh, the sooner that they
Speaker 1: can get those locked in, the sooner it then helps
Speaker 1: the entirety of that community. Whereas if you, if you're
Speaker 1: the size of Asheville, your downtown can be great and
Speaker 1: builtmore still be rebuilding, and you're going to get people
Speaker 1: there your Spruce Pine. I don't know about that. Your
Speaker 1: can't and I don't know about that. So I know
Speaker 1: there's a long drawn out detail to answer, and I'm
Speaker 1: not hedging. I just it would be even if they're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get the budget done, you
Speaker 1: should get one of these bills done something. I think
Speaker 1: you owe it to them out there, all right, six
Speaker 1: fifty three hang on.
Speaker 2: Excuse me.
Speaker 1: If you want to be on the show, that's your
Speaker 1: first step. And then you have to pass the Ross filter,
Speaker 1: so you know, don't call in with dumb stuff. It's
Speaker 1: like silly dumb. And then you know, just maybe all right,
Speaker 1: coming up, Yeah, somebody send an email.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I hope you were listening to the top of
Speaker 1: the hour there with Kyle's News. He was talking about
Speaker 1: Deston Hall is saying that they want to get the
Speaker 1: they want to get this Western North Carolina aid package done.
Speaker 1: But you know, Deston Hall only controls one side of
Speaker 1: this thing, and so him wanting to get it done
Speaker 1: is great. Let's see if they do get it done.
Speaker 1: And I and again I don't purport to be an
Speaker 1: expert on who's been allocated, who has and how it
Speaker 1: breaks down all of that, but it is clear to
Speaker 1: me that we're not done out there.
Speaker 2: We're not done. And and so, man, it's not just
Speaker 2: people's houses.
Speaker 1: That's that is one thing, but you're talking about big infrastructure,
Speaker 1: the the full functioning of and some of this is federal,
Speaker 1: right because Blue Rich Parkway is the full functioning of
Speaker 1: the apparatus that is Western North Carolina tourism requires these
Speaker 1: pieces to be fixed, and nobody wants to stare at
Speaker 1: the debris field that I just talked about, which is
Speaker 1: again that you see that, and it's just because it's
Speaker 1: just everything.
Speaker 2: It's just.
Speaker 1: Homes stuff, people's stuff, trees, all the dirt, and uh yeah.
Speaker 1: So I do hope they get it done, whether it's
Speaker 1: seven hundred million as it comes out on one side
Speaker 1: and the other side agrees, or if they got they
Speaker 1: want to do it some other way and then they
Speaker 1: have to go to conference. Fine, but it needs to
Speaker 1: be priority. And frankly, you guys should have your budget
Speaker 1: done too. But that's you know, that's that's a whole
Speaker 1: nother thing out there, all right. So a few things
Speaker 1: to get into. Interesting day. Interesting day, as Trump was
Speaker 1: doing his thing over there at the Hague, and you
Speaker 1: got the UN people and the European Union people about,
Speaker 1: and as you know, they're all real good friends with
Speaker 1: Trump obviously, so and you know, language issues that arise,
Speaker 1: different things that come up. But this is really funny
Speaker 1: and I haven't seen yet. I mean I saw them
Speaker 1: kind of try, I haven't seen them successfully turn something.
Speaker 1: Was just kind of a funny moment into isn't Trump
Speaker 1: the most evil person ever? Although they they're desperately trying,
Speaker 1: they're working on it all right, So here's the moment.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, hold on.
Speaker 1: If I had it here in front of me, all right, so, uh,
Speaker 1: the moment in question was, uh, the what.
Speaker 2: Is this guy's name?
Speaker 1: Do?
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 8: Do?
Speaker 9: Do?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 1: Close looking at one window and then closed it, and
Speaker 1: my one computer's being a jerk still, so I had
Speaker 1: to flip over to my laptop. Okay, so it's a
Speaker 1: NATO Secretary General. I said, you a NATO Secretary General
Speaker 1: Mark Ruddier Root or however you pronounce his name.
Speaker 2: Well, uh yeah, listen for yourself. I mean we may
Speaker 2: do papers on it, Marco. Maybe we're going to do papers.
Speaker 5: I don't even know.
Speaker 10: If you need them.
Speaker 2: They're not going to be fighting each other.
Speaker 8: They've had it.
Speaker 2: They've got a big fight.
Speaker 11: Like two kids in a school yard, you know, they
Speaker 11: fight like hell, you can't stop them.
Speaker 8: Let him fight for about two three minutes.
Speaker 4: Then it's easy to stap them.
Speaker 5: And then daddy has sometimes language everyone you have to
Speaker 5: use a certain word.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So immediately the reporters like, I'm sorry, did the NATO
Speaker 1: Secretary General just refer to Trump as daddy?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: He But it's in the context of an analogy that
Speaker 1: Trump just set up. He goes, sometimes you got two
Speaker 1: kids fighting, and then the guy made a daddy. There's
Speaker 1: nothing abnormal about it. What's actually it's not even that funny.
Speaker 1: But what is funny is Marco Rubio. Because now they
Speaker 1: can't just dog with a bone for for the reporters there,
Speaker 1: they can't let it go and and you know, Trump's
Speaker 1: trying to be funny again. But Rubio is like you
Speaker 1: ever ever when you were a little kid something was funnier.
Speaker 1: You're in class and the teacher's telling you not to laugh,
Speaker 1: and that somehow makes it funnier, and then you're laughing
Speaker 1: and you just can't hold it together and say, all
Speaker 1: right out in the hall with you. Well, I didn't
Speaker 1: do that to Rubio, but he's clearly he clearly thinks
Speaker 1: this is ten times as funny as anybody, and he's
Speaker 1: one of the funny to watch him laugh in that situation.
Speaker 2: So everyone starts laughing.
Speaker 1: But the guy was responding to an analysis or an
Speaker 1: analog excuse me, of kids fighting. So a parental reference
Speaker 1: in breaking it up is completely normal. And I saw
Speaker 1: people are like, he makes them call him daddy. What
Speaker 1: do you shut up?
Speaker 2: Here? By the way, this is the follow up.
Speaker 9: The NATO chief, who is your friend? He called you
Speaker 9: daddy earlier?
Speaker 1: By the way, can I say this? I like hearing
Speaker 1: her say daddy versus one of the views from the Chicks.
Speaker 9: From the view right, Mark Ritter, the NATO chief, who
Speaker 9: is your friend? He called you daddy earlier? Do you
Speaker 9: regard your NATO allies as kind of children?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: He likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn't,
Speaker 2: I'll let you know. I'll come back and I'll hit
Speaker 2: him hard.
Speaker 12: Okay, he did.
Speaker 10: He did it very affect you daddy here my daddy.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean at that point, Trump's just going
Speaker 3: to roll with it, right, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, oh, you want to go because he
Speaker 1: would have left it alone because it wasn't that remarkably
Speaker 1: funny if you paid attention to what was said directly before.
Speaker 3: You know, right, But but you were saying too about
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio laughing about It's it's sort of like, I
Speaker 3: don't think Trump would have went there if because Marco
Speaker 3: Rubio is standing like, you know, a little behind him, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's off his left shoulder. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's one of those things where like when you make
Speaker 3: your buddy laugh, you're just going to keep going there
Speaker 3: to make him laugh some more and then inappropriate situation.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what it was. But we made that
Speaker 3: analogy yesterday about the two k in the yard, and
Speaker 3: we said, that's what that's what the uh the fight
Speaker 3: during the ceasefire was where you have a fight between
Speaker 3: two kids in school and you know, they they're they're
Speaker 3: scuffle in and then like somebody gets between him and
Speaker 3: they're like, you guys need to calm down, and they
Speaker 3: both walk away and then they sort of rush back
Speaker 3: to each other for like a few seconds and you
Speaker 3: push him back, you know, back apart and somebody world
Speaker 3: star right yeah, right, yeah, you upload it to the internet.
Speaker 2: It's what we do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, hold on, Oh no, Ross were being impeached. No, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the impeachingts. Hey, AOC's impeaching us. Do they have the
Speaker 1: votes for making the analysis? I don't know, probably, we're
Speaker 1: not very Which way do you think Senator Slenderman's voting?
Speaker 3: Come on, man, that guy can't take a joke. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because he's too busy plotting against your children.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point right there. We have
Speaker 1: to we have to dust that thing off. In fact,
Speaker 1: see if you can find that real quick, because we
Speaker 1: always have new audience coming in and another audience leaving
Speaker 1: because they get annoyed with us.
Speaker 2: So circle of life.
Speaker 1: So like years ago when he when Tillo's is running
Speaker 1: against Kay Hagen, we decided to be really funny to
Speaker 1: do attack ads, just crazy attack ads, and so we
Speaker 1: did some for as though they're supporting Tillis, and some
Speaker 1: as they're supporting Hagen. And obviously, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the good one.
Speaker 2: That's the good one. Right here.
Speaker 1: You want to hear an example of it. So and
Speaker 1: it's Kyle Kyle and news too. Right he did no,
Speaker 1: he did the other ones. He did half of them.
Speaker 1: I can't remember, all right, So check check this out.
Speaker 1: We may just repurpose. I may just cut this down
Speaker 1: to a thing and then just run it where we
Speaker 1: run PSAs just to be an a hole.
Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll figure it out. Yeah. This so
Speaker 2: this is the attack at him. By the way, it holds,
Speaker 2: it holds this election day.
Speaker 10: Ask yourself, is Tom Tillis slender man? In a recent poll,
Speaker 10: one hundred percent of women with children said, quote, yes,
Speaker 10: Tom Tillis is slender Man, and I fear for my
Speaker 10: children because Tom Tillos, I mean slender Man, stalks them
Speaker 10: while they sleep.
Speaker 2: End quote.
Speaker 10: We asked Tom Tillis if he was slender Man, but
Speaker 10: he couldn't dancer because Tom Tillis was busy dancing inside
Speaker 10: a pentagram maniacally chanting about your children and his million
Speaker 10: dollar yacht this election day. Say no to slender Man,
Speaker 10: no to Tom Tillis, Yes to your children, and yes
Speaker 10: to America.
Speaker 1: All right, and then the other tags missing there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so we had a lot of fun with that. That
Speaker 1: and the Hagen ads were funny too. Where's the other
Speaker 1: Tillis one?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 2: Do the other one?
Speaker 1: I may have to find them. Sorry, I'm typing and
Speaker 1: leaning at the same time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here it is.
Speaker 1: Oh beautiful, I got it, dude, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think this one's funnier and more appropriate.
Speaker 2: Right now? Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: What time? Okay? I'm good? All right, So, yeah, check
Speaker 2: out the other one.
Speaker 10: You've heard about Tom Tillis's war on women, but how
Speaker 10: much do you really know? Recent secret documents reveal that
Speaker 10: Tom Tillis wants to sell all women from North Carolina
Speaker 10: to isis because quote, North Carolina women are ugly and
Speaker 10: should be forced to wear sheets over their ugly heads.
Speaker 10: And this would explain why Tom Tillus wants to fire
Speaker 10: all female teachers in North Carolina and replace them with terrorists.
Speaker 10: Terrorists with tenure. Tom tillis an enemy to women. Best
Speaker 10: bros with isis and that enemy of America.
Speaker 2: Guy sounds like a monster. The thing is, I wrote
Speaker 2: that and I forgot all about it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, he nailed it right there. And then we had
Speaker 1: two Hagen ones which I won't play, you know, out
Speaker 1: of respect there, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's over the line. Yeah what him? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Can you imagine making all the women and calling all
Speaker 1: North Carolinian women ugly? Who would do such a thing
Speaker 1: Tom Tillis apparently? Yeah, you hear it on the radio.
Speaker 1: I heard it too. That's double source. Now that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Hey Jay, what's up?
Speaker 8: Hey? Casey? Casey is on? Aside from what I want
Speaker 8: to say, have you ever seen that movie A Week
Speaker 8: for Madness?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen they show clips to that you sometimes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not going to do anyway too.
Speaker 2: Into the content though on the show, so anyway.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I just I just probably out blatant propaganda.
Speaker 8: I mean, that's what it was. But anyways, uh, I
Speaker 8: want to talk about the Iranians. The Persians there. They're devious,
Speaker 8: they're insidious, deceptive, malicious, they're pathological lives and they're prone
Speaker 8: to violence, and they're screaming death to America. But I
Speaker 8: think if they if they wanted to immigrate to the
Speaker 8: United States, I'd like to infall that. We already have
Speaker 8: a Democratic party here.
Speaker 1: So I see what you did there. But you know,
Speaker 1: we have one of the highest populations of Iranians in
Speaker 1: the world, not in Iran.
Speaker 8: So are you kidd Are you serious?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Dude, l A Have you been to l A You, yes,
Speaker 2: I have. They have an Iranian section to any demographics.
Speaker 1: Could because here's the thing I'm not in in thank
Speaker 1: you for the call.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 1: Iran used to be something incredibly different, incredibly different.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, you see photos of Iran before, like and
Speaker 2: you're like, is that a US college camp?
Speaker 3: Right, but let's go in nineteen seventy nine and like
Speaker 3: the women are like smoking hot, which maybe they still are,
Speaker 3: but we don't know.
Speaker 2: That's why they hide them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, they hide them now, but like like short
Speaker 3: mini dresses and it looks like like you see photos,
Speaker 3: like you said, it could be outside of any American
Speaker 3: campus in any big city and you're like, that's Iran.
Speaker 3: And then Tom Tillis got there and it all went downhill.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is what happens.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, So but when you want to talk
Speaker 1: about the Revolutionary Guard, the Ayatola and all of that, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they are all of the things you just said one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand percent, sir. I was reading today that they're
Speaker 1: saying that the Commanee hasn't been seen in like a week.

Speaker 1: I forgot, but I was going to, all right, kind
Speaker 1: of sort of credit to me or whatnot, right right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they're saying he hasn't actually been seen in
Speaker 1: a week, and there's a theory that he's been like
Speaker 1: you know, offed by his own people, and those are
Speaker 1: the people that agreed to the ceasefire. Well no, because
Speaker 1: then you got to pray him around with the butt
Speaker 1: stick as a puppet like they did with Goadaffi. Right, yeah, dude,

Speaker 1: You're mispronouncing it, sir, ross, what is the proper pronunciation?
Speaker 2: Hold on right, Yeah, we're making fun of the kids,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: See you lived you lived there when it was still
Speaker 1: you know, not what it is today.
Speaker 13: Correct. Yeah, the Shaw was still in power. We were
Speaker 13: there when Niatola took power from the Shaw and were evacuated.
Speaker 13: I remember the city was. It was just as big
Speaker 13: and popular as as Los Angeles at the time. U
Speaker 13: the women there, they wore long dresses, blouses, skirts, men
Speaker 13: were Levi gans. They smoke marble cigarettes, and we traded
Speaker 13: on the dollar.
Speaker 2: They didn't have that.
Speaker 1: There was a religious police running around beating people, which
Speaker 1: is the thing.
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, but I do remember the chanting over the
Speaker 13: loudspeakers in the city every you know, whatever their times
Speaker 13: were for their religious chanting.
Speaker 2: So so you were there when they took hostage the hostages.
Speaker 13: Yeah, we were there. We were evacuated, all women and children.
Speaker 2: Did you pretend to be in a movie with Ben's
Speaker 2: Ben Affleck.
Speaker 13: Ben Affleck, Yeah, yeah, no, that was part of the embassy.
Speaker 13: We were we were part of the military program show.
Speaker 1: Two people you I well, one I know you've heard of.
Speaker 1: The other one I'm pretty sure you've heard of, and
Speaker 1: that is Joe Rogan and Liver King. So and if
Speaker 1: you're a little like liver King sounds from me, all right,
Speaker 1: So this is the dude looks kind of he has
Speaker 1: a caveman motif.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It was a little disheveled, which I could respect because
Speaker 1: I constantly I had to get my hair cut for
Speaker 1: our client thing. I was shaggy dude, but whatever, get
Speaker 1: the beard trimmed up. But that's just that was his brand.
Speaker 1: And he'd go around eating raw liver and rocky mountain oysters.
Speaker 1: You don't know what those are looking at.
Speaker 3: You might see him like he'd make these videos that
Speaker 3: you'd see online with like a big like bowl and
Speaker 3: he'd put like raw chicken in it and milk and
Speaker 3: protein powder and rack bovine like testicles and then he'd
Speaker 3: eat it and he'd be like, this is a secret
Speaker 3: to me being huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So and he was.
Speaker 1: And he'd always in he's saying he was older than
Speaker 1: he was too or something, because he was just he
Speaker 1: was just cut right.
Speaker 2: It was not a big dude. He's actually kind of
Speaker 2: a little dude.
Speaker 1: But uh, and and I think there was a little
Speaker 1: bit of a little bit of that at play because
Speaker 1: I remember watching an interview where he kind of like
Speaker 1: took a fence to this chick bringing up.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, no.
Speaker 3: It was like a thing when people like realized how
Speaker 3: tall he was, because like he looks like a big
Speaker 3: dude and then in person he's like tiny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is fine whatever, But the problem is is
Speaker 1: and the bigger problem might have been how he eat
Speaker 1: how he achieved that, because now that he's on the
Speaker 1: in that fitness influencer kind of thing, if I don't
Speaker 1: can you call him a fitness influencer when you're just
Speaker 1: eating like raw intestinal meat, I don't know. So uh,
Speaker 1: but he he got really blue up because people are like,
Speaker 1: look at it, Look at how amazing this guy looks.
Speaker 1: All I gotta do is just eat liver. I want
Speaker 1: to know how many of you when eate.
Speaker 2: Raw liver dupes? Yeah, or like the raw chicken in
Speaker 2: a bowl.
Speaker 1: Now, the chicken thing that's super like that's a bad idea,
Speaker 1: But you can eat raw liver all day as long
Speaker 1: as it's handled properly.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 3: You know, well, the thing is like before like anabolic
Speaker 3: steroids like one of the key ways to like really
Speaker 3: get good gains where it was to eat liver, like
Speaker 3: liver was like a thing where like.
Speaker 1: It got a ton of iron and there's there's all
Speaker 1: sorts of goodness in there. And if you if you
Speaker 1: don't mind, like I like, uh, for those of you
Speaker 1: deer hunt, do you eat the heart? I think the
Speaker 1: heart's great, venison heart. I think it's fantastic. But a
Speaker 1: lot of people are turned off by organ meat. I
Speaker 1: understand that. That being said, Uh, once you're on the radar,
Speaker 1: others are like, uh, yeah, he's doing the roids. And
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly how they got him to admit it,
Speaker 1: but he made this weepy apology video.
Speaker 2: No, his whole thing was very uncomfortable, and.
Speaker 1: Then he kind of like, I don't you'd see him occasionally,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't on every show and and and in
Speaker 1: everything uh following that, And I think more so not
Speaker 1: because he did the steroids are admitted to it, but
Speaker 1: because of how cringey it was when he apologized for it.
Speaker 2: Kind of.
Speaker 1: All right, so fast forward on if you listen to
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan's show at all, you know they will they'll
Speaker 1: touch on fitness stuff. Joe Rogan's a fitness guy and
Speaker 1: he a lot of times he's got MMA fighters in there.
Speaker 1: He's got guys that are in the you know that
Speaker 1: in that fitness world or they want to talk about it,
Speaker 1: and Rogan has pointed out him. I think I think
Speaker 1: Rogan called him out before he apologized too. I think
Speaker 1: Rogan was kind of it was on his show that
Speaker 1: triggered I think some of this.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he's he's a topic of discussion
Speaker 3: where he'll come up during these fitness sort of interviews
Speaker 3: and you know, and Rogan is like, you know, he'll
Speaker 3: do like neutropics and like supplements and ice baths and
Speaker 3: he's super into it. And like I said, when you're
Speaker 3: in that industry, you can tell when somebody's juicing, and
Speaker 3: for them to deny it is sort of like, what
Speaker 3: are you doing, dude? We all know, just say you're
Speaker 3: doing it.
Speaker 1: But I think that Liver King then internalized his downfall
Speaker 1: and put it at Rogan's feet because it was a
Speaker 1: guest on Rogan's show that first broke the topic I
Speaker 1: can't remember who the guest was, but since it was
Speaker 1: on Rogan's show, I didn't realize that it spiraled into this,
Speaker 1: and Rogan, I guess, apparently didn't either. So dude makes
Speaker 1: this weird Liver King makes this weird video trying to
Speaker 1: fight Joe Rogan, and he's crawled around like a crab,
Speaker 1: and part of it he's he's it's like emotionally, it's
Speaker 1: the dude sounds like he's losing it.
Speaker 2: And we'll get into some theories why, but.
Speaker 1: It's really uncomfortable, but like car wrecky, so you're just like,
Speaker 1: what happens next, so you keep watching. And then after
Speaker 1: he did that, he you know, because he's threatening to
Speaker 1: assault Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2: That is what that is.
Speaker 1: You're making what is considered a terroristic threat in the
Speaker 1: state of Texas. He then traveled to Austin, where police
Speaker 1: intercepted him trying to go to Joe Rogan's house to
Speaker 1: fight him. All right, so listen to this little mash
Speaker 1: up here of what's going on. It's about two minutes,
Speaker 1: but just just check it out.
Speaker 5: Everything because Joe Rogan, we don't have to make videos
Speaker 5: to pretend anymore.
Speaker 2: And he'll mention this in here.
Speaker 1: It's important to know Joe Rogan is a black belt
Speaker 1: in what two martial arts, right or something.
Speaker 2: I believe he started off his first thing with taekwondo.
Speaker 1: And then he did to be the jiu jitsu jiu
Speaker 1: jitsu yet yeah, okay, so taekwondo, jiu jitsu, and then
Speaker 1: have mma s fighting fighting style too. He trains in that,
Speaker 1: so he's he's not a nobody. I don't know how
Speaker 1: good he is, but clearly he's got trade. I don't
Speaker 1: think liver King claims to be in any of that stuff,
Speaker 1: all right, So that's important context here we go.
Speaker 5: All of this has happened. We're coming to you. I've
Speaker 5: challenged you man to man to a fight, honorable. And
Speaker 5: we don't have to pretend or make any videos. The
Speaker 5: world is watching. They'll make the videos for us.
Speaker 2: You're making a video right now.
Speaker 5: I don't have to hold a camera. You can hold
Speaker 5: the hand of somebody that you love. Because what happens
Speaker 5: next to you, you're gonna need to remember that feeling.
Speaker 5: You're gonna need something more than what you did to
Speaker 5: give you something to fight for. Because I have my
Speaker 5: family to fight for. That's and then I'll die for him.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 5: And you're a black belt, but you've you've never come
Speaker 5: across something like this, willing to die hoping that you'll
Speaker 5: choke me out. I pray to God because that's a
Speaker 5: dream come true. It feels good. And then the limbs
Speaker 5: I'm fighting for my family.
Speaker 2: We got that.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, But then you have to contend with something else.
Speaker 5: And I weigh one hundred and seventy seven pounds, an
Speaker 5: actual savage. And so at first you're like that guy.
Speaker 5: That guy's right. When you all of a sudden you
Speaker 5: did get your attention, which I already did before this,
Speaker 5: you're saying, I'm going to choke that motherful piece of
Speaker 5: I'm going to choke him out. So what warriors do you?
Speaker 5: And Andrew Tay are good warrior, good warriors, but you're
Speaker 5: actually better than that real tension.
Speaker 12: We have.
Speaker 5: Comedy that you do is good and true. What we
Speaker 5: have real tension. But what I see in you is
Speaker 5: comedy is good and true. Touch points. While people laugh,
Speaker 5: if we don't make fun of them at their expense,
Speaker 5: they laugh.
Speaker 2: You should all make fun of me, Liver, you should
Speaker 2: all make fun of me at my expense.
Speaker 5: Trust me, uh that it still works and uh and
Speaker 5: then you should get paid for it.
Speaker 2: And let's let's go. Let's go. We're because we're leaving.
Speaker 5: We're going to Austin.
Speaker 2: What was my very last point there.
Speaker 5: We're gonna kick Joe ros act that we the wheeled
Speaker 5: Jim shut it. Oh oh that's it's my speech, justin FETs. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So his brain malfunctions there at the end, just at
Speaker 3: the end, specific yeah, I mean the last twenty second.
Speaker 2: I think choosing to make that video is a malfunction.
Speaker 3: But I mean he forgets his name, he forgets why
Speaker 3: he's there, like it's super like, and that is a threat.
Speaker 2: He's threatening Joe Rogan. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, accord to Texas authorities, you've charged him. They believe
Speaker 1: that to be the case too.
Speaker 3: So ah yeah, so I have a theory. Yeah, what's
Speaker 3: going on with this dude? And first off, look at
Speaker 3: his face. That guy is two years older than us.
Speaker 3: He is, how old he looks like he's he looks
Speaker 3: like he chose the wrong chalice. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean he looks late fifties, mid sixties, but a
Speaker 3: tough but a rough late fifty right, and he's like
Speaker 3: forty seven, forty eight years old, and that's what the
Speaker 3: steroids will do to you. But also look at his face.
Speaker 3: His face is looking You're like, oh wow, he's in
Speaker 3: the sun a lot. Now his face is super ruddy, right, Like,
Speaker 3: look look at his face, dude. What's going on In
Speaker 3: my theory is the anabolic steroids, and he's done a
Speaker 3: ton of them. He's a lot They will not only
Speaker 3: will it aid you, but they do a lot of
Speaker 3: obviously damage to you. What's happened is I believe my
Speaker 3: theory is they've damaged his kidneys. Uh, and then what
Speaker 3: you see that ruddiness is is can be an effective
Speaker 3: like kidney damage, Like it's the early signs of like
Speaker 3: renal failure. I don't think his brain is getting enough water.
Speaker 3: I don't think his body is getting enough water. And
Speaker 3: I think it's starting to like short circuit. It's super unhealthy.
Speaker 3: You know, the muscles are one thing, but when you
Speaker 3: look at it, how his face looks, and how he's talking,
Speaker 3: and how he like malfunctions there at the end, he
Speaker 3: doesn't even remember his name at the end, I think
Speaker 3: he's going nuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, watch out, I might try to fight you over that.
Speaker 1: Probably true.
Speaker 2: Take right.
Speaker 3: Bruce Lee was the same way at the end. You know,
Speaker 3: he damaged his back. He wasn't supposed to do martial
Speaker 3: arts anymore, and they were giving him these shots in
Speaker 3: his back and he's supposed to get like one shot
Speaker 3: every few months or whatever, and he was doing like
Speaker 3: two shots every two weeks. Yeah, for years he was
Speaker 3: doing that. And what happened was it screwed up his kidneys,
Speaker 3: It screwed up the way he was sweating. He had
Speaker 3: to have his sweat glands removed. And then what happened
Speaker 3: was he showed up to the set of Enter the
Speaker 3: Dragon and a cinematographer was like, what is up with
Speaker 3: your face? Had to change the way they were going
Speaker 3: to film the movie because his face was so red
Speaker 3: and ruddy. And what happened was he ended up taking
Speaker 3: the tiln off for a headache. His brain couldn't do it,
Speaker 3: didn't have enough water, and he died. And they're saying
Speaker 3: that would actually kill Bruce Lee was renal failure due
Speaker 3: to the due to the steroid usage. Yeah, and I'm
Speaker 3: telling you this dude's brain isn't right.
Speaker 1: It is seven forty five here on the CaCO Day
Speaker 1: radio program, and that video of the part where he's
Speaker 1: going to Austin. At that point, they're just gonna check
Speaker 1: with the airlines. As soon as you pop, they're going
Speaker 1: to find you. Man, So not telling you how to
Speaker 1: threaten people. But he didn't think any of this out
Speaker 1: all right. Jeff Mahr from the Weather Channel is standing.
Speaker 2: By, Jeff. How you doing this morning? You're here to
Speaker 2: cook us again?
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah, another day another heat advisory, unfortunately, is we
Speaker 4: make our way through the latter portion of the morning

Speaker 4: at effect eleven am to seven pm. The reason the
Speaker 4: high today ninety six, but it's going to feel more
Speaker 4: like one oh five when you factor in the humidity,
Speaker 4: and that is certainly going to make for some uncomfortable conditions.
Speaker 4: It could be spending some time outdoors today. I again
Speaker 4: in the mid nineties, and we're going to stay in
Speaker 4: the mid nineties tomorrow and probably in the start of
Speaker 4: the weekend as well. If we get eat rain today.

Speaker 4: do develop though, may produce some gusty winds and then
Speaker 4: overnight party cloudy as we dropped to seventy four. Another
Speaker 4: high one tomorrow ninety five triple digit. Heated next with
Speaker 4: afternoon storms and for the weekend some early sunshine giving
Speaker 4: way to some afternoon feaderstorms. This high set the mid

Speaker 1: Thank you, we'll talk in an hour. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: My friend and Ross, did you see Jesus cloud? Are
Speaker 1: you aware of Jesus cloud?
Speaker 2: I did see it. Yes, what do you what do
Speaker 2: you think you got? I think it's a cloud.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, but maybe maybe so we'll find out what
Speaker 1: Jesus cloud is.
Speaker 2: Coming up. We got to do the Florida. We go
Speaker 2: to Florida for some criminal activity. We'll do that.
Speaker 1: And uh, the the part of any of you guys
Speaker 1: have seen the video of the New York City probably
Speaker 1: might be mechs Mayor. We'll see the socialist lunatic we
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday. His victory party is interesting. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you the propaganda has Uh, you don't realize
Speaker 1: how effective it is because it's really got to be
Speaker 1: the explanation.
Speaker 2: All Right, it is seven forty seven.
Speaker 1: Hang on, time to head to Florida for you know,
Speaker 1: Florida and sanity.
Speaker 11: Florida, Florida man. Is something in the water they err
Speaker 11: or sand that made should do all that crazy crap.
Speaker 11: It's like the state is gonna be dumbass trapped. Nowhere
Speaker 11: else has the Florida man. It is almost like, as
Speaker 11: the weird factor climbs, you find out it happened in Florida.
Speaker 2: Every time. Florida man, Florida man.
Speaker 11: If anyone can cheer me, if you know, you can't,
Speaker 11: just mind life be crazy.
Speaker 2: But of course, but it's not.
Speaker 11: It's fat crap, crazy as yours.
Speaker 2: Nowhere else are you gonna find him?
Speaker 11: They're so used to it, they don't find him. Hooray
Speaker 11: for Florida man.
Speaker 1: And in this case it's Florida woman woman. See it's
Speaker 1: in the it's in the wording there. And it's a
Speaker 1: notcho assault because you know why the heck not. Florida
Speaker 1: woman has been arrested for shoving a plate of nachos
Speaker 1: down her wife's leggings in a confrontation that took place
Speaker 1: at three am after the two.
Speaker 2: Had been drinking.
Speaker 1: Now Here I got a question because now she's arrested
Speaker 1: for assault. I aren't nachos good ross you like nachos.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, okay, And like, how's that different than whip cream?
Speaker 1: If you don't like whipped cream, you put whipped cream
Speaker 1: on your significant other. Everyone's like, God, he's romantic or
Speaker 1: she's romantic. But nachos is a bridge too far. I
Speaker 1: don't like sweet foods. I like nachos, though.
Speaker 3: You're pulling the George Costanza Seinfeld. You're mixing food with you,
Speaker 3: you're mixing pleasures here, and it can.
Speaker 2: What what come on? Man? Do you remember that episode? No,
Speaker 2: because you know I'm not a sein phone guy.
Speaker 3: Really, George is there and he's you know, he's with
Speaker 3: his girlfriend. Enough said, and he's like he's simultaneously eating
Speaker 3: like a big Pistromi sandwich, and it keeps like he
Speaker 3: keeps like increasing.
Speaker 2: What he's eating.
Speaker 1: He's got one of those what's the chef where they
Speaker 1: cook in front of you.
Speaker 2: Like the hibachi Yeah, the hibachi.
Speaker 1: Guy's balancing an egg on his little spatula. Oh no,
Speaker 1: but like whipped cream and strawberries, you know, all that stuff,
Speaker 1: although that's whatever, but nachos. Yeah, So maybe she was
Speaker 1: just trying to be romantic and you misread this.
Speaker 3: Marky and I just discovered something amazing and this isn't
Speaker 3: gonna be gross. To stop thinking that you perv hote.
Speaker 3: Just some of our favorite nachos are the kind that
Speaker 3: you get at the movie theater with that sort of cheese.
Speaker 2: It said, nacho.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, with a bunch of jalapenos. Man, yeah, well
Speaker 1: that's all the only thing I'll buy it a movie
Speaker 1: theater or those.
Speaker 3: They sell that brand of nacho cheese in the grocery
Speaker 3: store and we had no idea we found it.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we stocked up on it because Lincoln loves one
Speaker 3: of his favorite things, or chips. He loves the texture
Speaker 3: and the crispness. It's and artism and he loves it.
Speaker 3: So he loves chips. And he was used this like
Speaker 3: the gordo sort of cheese that you get at the
Speaker 3: grocery store when you gotta put in the microwave and
Speaker 3: gotta heat it up and it takes it over.
Speaker 2: It's a long process.
Speaker 3: But then we found out that they have the kind
Speaker 3: that you have at the movie theater, and it's like
Speaker 3: life changing. It's like, oh my god, like mind blown.
Speaker 3: And they're right there. It's right there, hidden in the
Speaker 3: Mexican food section at the grocery store on the bottom shelf.
Speaker 2: There's tons of it. It's exact same, and it's it's
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 1: Because that's you know, people think that the cheese that
Speaker 1: they use that that's just you know, that's a US thing. No,
Speaker 1: that nacho cheese stuff is used all over Latin America
Speaker 1: and it's amazing and mostly because it's shelf stable, right,
Speaker 1: so you can you know, you can have it in there,
Speaker 1: and if you don't, you can't refrigerate it or if
Speaker 1: it's going to be around too long. But it's uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Yeah, the you ever read the
Speaker 1: uh the ingredient level on that thing?
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I have just throw it out there.
Speaker 1: It's a possibility. So anyway, I imagine it's cheese. Don't
Speaker 1: try to woo your spouse with nachos down her pants,
Speaker 1: but if you do, get less kind or yeah, make
Speaker 1: let the cheese cool first, right, very important?
Speaker 2: I mean maybe not, you might be. You know, some
Speaker 2: people are into I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, don't get the hottest of hot pepper's too,
Speaker 1: this mom Donnie dude up in New York. I saw
Speaker 1: a video yesterday. Do they know I can hear them
Speaker 1: standing aroundside my door barking. It's fine, it's not picking
Speaker 1: up on the mic. So, like, I saw this video
Speaker 1: of his victory party, Ross, you did watch the video
Speaker 1: of the victory party.
Speaker 2: Of I didn't know your tweet? Yes, you bet? You
Speaker 2: saw you?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So did did you notice anything about this socialist I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give everyone for free diversity is our strength, lunatic?
Speaker 1: Just anything about the video that maybe didn't comport with
Speaker 1: your understanding of his messaging.
Speaker 3: I mean, I will say this, Yeah, a lot of
Speaker 3: times when it comes to these sort of like socialist candidates,
Speaker 3: what happens is you're like, oh, you know what, the
Speaker 3: people voting for him are the people that are like,
Speaker 3: you know, super not well off. You know, they're in
Speaker 3: poverty and they're voting for and it's got a.
Speaker 1: Lot of how sou Venezuela got to where they are at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just a farmer like you, and then boom Yeah.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times the people actually voting for
Speaker 1: a candidate like him are actually more more middle to
Speaker 1: upper class, upper class. They're affluent, and they're they're voting
Speaker 1: for him because they feel guilty about their own success.
Speaker 2: Correct, and I wonder where they would have gotten that idea.
Speaker 3: And you see that from people from like the The
Speaker 3: Sex and the City Chick like Cynthia Nixon correct yes yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: or like a Mark Ruffalo or somebody like that, where
Speaker 3: like they're super well off and they feel guilty about
Speaker 3: it subconsciously, so they're voting for this guy, and in
Speaker 3: a way when they're doing that, it's very selfish.
Speaker 2: Well why ever would it be selfish? Why? Because what it.
Speaker 3: Ends up doing is hurting the people you're trying to help. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this make yourself feel better.
Speaker 1: This goes back to you know, this has its roots
Speaker 1: in the decimation of black families and the success that
Speaker 1: they were having in the nineteen fifties and sixties, emerging
Speaker 1: through civil rights.
Speaker 2: And and and.
Speaker 1: And not just them, but that's where you saw the
Speaker 1: most devastation.
Speaker 2: And like the marriage you know, out of wedlock, birth rate.
Speaker 1: And all of the things that people talk about, which
Speaker 1: is just kind of the third rail, but it's true.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 1: And it's you get people dependent upon you, and then
Speaker 1: the idea that they could never live without you is
Speaker 1: what you're going for. It's it's diabolical, man, And whether
Speaker 1: they realize they're doing it or not. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because obviously there's some lunatics out there where we tell
Speaker 1: me the Trump Mondami thing. Yeah, so that's the audio, right, yep,
Speaker 1: all right, this is this is great. So I want
Speaker 1: you to check this out. So he's being interviewed by uh,
Speaker 1: miss circle back. We still calling Jaki, right, I'll circle whatever, yeah,
Speaker 1: miss circle back. So anyway, so he's been interviewed by
Speaker 1: her on MSNBC yesterday. And let's just say this is
Speaker 1: this is a this is a take.
Speaker 6: It is part of a larger referendum on.
Speaker 2: Where why did people vote for you?
Speaker 6: It is part of a larger referendum on where our
Speaker 6: party goes. And I think one of the hopes that
Speaker 6: we had from the very beginning of this campaign was
Speaker 6: to move our political instinct from lecturing to listening. You know,
Speaker 6: at the national level. After the presidential election, we saw
Speaker 6: that New York was actually the state with the largest
Speaker 6: swing in the country towards Donald Trump eleven and a
Speaker 6: half points, and that that swing took place far from
Speaker 6: the caricature of Trump voters, instead taking place in the
Speaker 6: hearts of immigrant New York City. And I went to
Speaker 6: those neighborhoods. I went to Fordham Road in the Bronx
Speaker 6: and Hillside Avenue in Queens and I asked those New Yorkers,
Speaker 6: the vast majority of whom were Democrats, why they voted
Speaker 6: for Trump and what it would take to bring them
Speaker 6: back to the Democratic Party. And again and again what
Speaker 6: I heard from them was cost of living, was an
Speaker 6: inability to for the very things they were called being
Speaker 6: able to purchase four years ago. And when they told
Speaker 6: me what it would take, they said again and again,
Speaker 6: the relentless focus on an economic agenda. And ultimately, in
Speaker 6: listening to them, we built a campaign that was explicitly
Speaker 6: about making this city affordable.
Speaker 2: Huh, so.
Speaker 1: You and Trump have a lot in common in your
Speaker 1: mind or something?
Speaker 2: What are you talking?
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's something in all of this.
Speaker 1: You have to remember what was the turnout of It
Speaker 1: was eight percent or something voted for him, of a
Speaker 1: turnout that's like in you know, under twenty percent, So
Speaker 1: you know understand what you're looking there. It was a primary.
Speaker 1: It was a primary for an individual party. Now granted
Speaker 1: it's the party that is the largest represented party within there,
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of other candidates too, so
Speaker 1: whether they then coalesce behind him, I don't know whether Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw I heard Hannity essay talking about the Sleewash scenario.
Speaker 1: I just maybe if Cuomo decides to run indepennant and enough,
Speaker 1: do you end up with Curtis Sleewa on the Republican side.
Speaker 1: But I'd be very hard pressed to see that.
Speaker 3: So but yeah, I mean him and trumpolt have like
Speaker 3: this populous message right where, yeah, can you afford your groceries?
Speaker 3: The problem is if you are somebody who in the
Speaker 3: last election cycle voted for Donald Trump and then six
Speaker 3: months later you vote for the socialist, you're dumb. You're
Speaker 3: just burning down anarchists who likes to irritate people, or
Speaker 3: it's the joker vote. I mean, but if you're talking about, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that that anarchist antifa sort of vote, it's the same
Speaker 3: sort of people we've talked about this before, where it's
Speaker 3: like these are the people that are supporting Antifa. They're
Speaker 3: the upper class white kids that are bored and have
Speaker 3: no purpose, and this gives them something to do. It
Speaker 3: makes them feel like they're doing something, like working towards something.
Speaker 3: And the problem is a complete dead end and so
Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna end up going down in flames
Speaker 3: because it doesn't go anywhere. But I mean, it's the
Speaker 3: same people. But really, if you're voting for Donald Trump
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four and then six months later, eight
Speaker 3: months later whatever, you're voting for the socialists, what are
Speaker 3: you doing? You have no idea how anything works. Because
Speaker 3: if you want things to be cheaper, I you are
Speaker 3: you sitting down?
Speaker 2: It ain't good. It's gonna go the opposite direction.
Speaker 3: No, what unless maybe we haven't maybe it hasn't been
Speaker 3: done correctly yet.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe this is the one.
Speaker 1: And then and then just to reiterate to the thing
Speaker 1: that Ross is talking about, Oh, people are feeling guilty
Speaker 1: and that's why they're voting for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the message.
Speaker 1: It's driven into your kid's head every day in a
Speaker 1: lot of these schools, right, And that's the it's one
Speaker 1: of the offshoots of that whole narrative. If you're white,
Speaker 1: you're privileged, and you probably didn't earn it, and you
Speaker 1: you know, and so now you got to give back,
Speaker 1: and that you beat somebody in the head. Enough with that,
Speaker 1: especially if they're not super like, you know, into research
Speaker 1: and looking at stuff, they kind of go along because
Speaker 1: it's that herd mentality. And then then you get what
Speaker 1: looks like a Brooklyn hipster party at this guy's victory thing. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I've seen more diversity at Trump rallies, which is especially
Speaker 1: the last time around. We all talked about the numbers
Speaker 1: here man.
Speaker 3: And know we like, there's another conspiracy you and can
Speaker 3: go into where it's like, you know, they're calling it
Speaker 3: like the TikTok vote, Like his people right his constituency
Speaker 3: are people like primarily that, you know, the younger crowd
Speaker 3: on TikTok. And it's like, well, how come some videos
Speaker 3: were promoted on TikTok. Some candidates seem to like the
Speaker 3: algorithm you know, likes them more than others, and they're
Speaker 3: getting more views and clicks, and you're like, well, who's
Speaker 3: behind it? Who could possibly who behind TikTok can possibly
Speaker 3: be trying to support the socialist candidate in New York
Speaker 3: City to bring New York City down?
Speaker 1: Who could it possibly be? I don't know, BW York No,
Speaker 1: that was yesterday. Now you can get somebody else, Like
Speaker 1: I said, just one somebody or.
Speaker 3: Maybe a country, a lot of people the oooh okay, no,
Speaker 3: but I mean you know that's something that China would
Speaker 3: be interested in. Well, we already know we look, we
Speaker 3: remember that report we had what two weeks ago that
Speaker 3: they I don't know that they were successful, they're investigating it,
Speaker 3: but they were manipulat.
Speaker 2: They were trying to manipulate vote and voter registration.
Speaker 1: So look, and we've had Mark Walker on when he
Speaker 1: was serving on an intelligence committee, and he was saying
Speaker 1: that the literally literally China is affecting uh or attempting
Speaker 1: to affect what like a thousand hacks a day across
Speaker 1: various things. They're just they're just sniffing around looking man.
Speaker 1: Well it just came out in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Read it came asaw the report where they was like
Speaker 3: China was stuffing the ballot box for Biden in the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty election. The esbea, I knew about it, and
Speaker 3: they didn't say They didn't say or do anything about it.
Speaker 1: They were busy, Yeah, coordinating a kidnapping to the Michigan
Speaker 1: governor with three yocals and a PT cruiser out of
Speaker 1: you ever saw a training video.
Speaker 2: They're training.
Speaker 1: They're doing tactical swat style training out of a pt Cruiser.
Speaker 1: It's the funniest thing.
Speaker 8: All Right.
Speaker 1: I just saw something and I think you're going to
Speaker 1: have an opinion on this. Did Did you see this yesterday?
Speaker 1: There's an argument over who's the best big wrestler in history,
Speaker 1: and to be qualified you had to have weighed more
Speaker 1: than four hundred pounds. So that's the caveat.
Speaker 2: I mean, Andre the giant, right.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought, and that's where some people are,
Speaker 1: but that's not where everyone is. The big show Yokazuno,
Speaker 1: King Kong, Bundy.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're all great, but.
Speaker 1: These are all like these are what people are arguing.
Speaker 1: And Gorilla Monsoon, Oh, Gorilla.
Speaker 3: Monson is absolute legend. People don't understand the influence that
Speaker 3: he had in wrestling in the industry. I mean that
Speaker 3: there's a reason why the spot behind the curtain is
Speaker 3: called the Gorilla spot. Yeah, I mean, because that's where
Speaker 3: he would be. But listen of all the names you named,
Speaker 3: they're great wrestlers, but only one of them you could
Speaker 3: maybe argue to put on them Mount Rushmore Wrestling, and
Speaker 3: that would be Andre. That's Andre, man. This should be
Speaker 3: a no brainer.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's recency biased for younger fans with
Speaker 1: Big Show? Probably, although a lot. Look Gorilla Monsoon is
Speaker 1: that he's an older wrestler. King Kong Bundy's an older wrestler. Here,
Speaker 1: here's some I'm just looking at some of the names
Speaker 1: people are throwing out here.
Speaker 2: Uh hold on, you're gonna scroll for this.
Speaker 1: Let's see, all right, So the names of people arguing
Speaker 1: at least within the top three. The Great Collie Okay,
Speaker 1: Giant Gonzales, yeah please, yeah, I know, get that, Get
Speaker 1: that out of here. Rakishi the guy used to sit
Speaker 1: on people's faces. There's Monsoon, There's Big Show, Big Van Vader.
Speaker 3: What are we doing a one man gang? I mean,
Speaker 3: once again, they're all great wrestlers. But the influence that
Speaker 3: Andre had on wrestling is ridiculous. Uncle Elmer, I don't
Speaker 3: do I remember you want to have wrestling today. If
Speaker 3: it wasn't for wrestling Ania three, and if it wasn't
Speaker 3: for Hogan and Andre, yes, it wouldn't be where.
Speaker 2: It is today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, earthquake, uh Visira Yo Kazuna and uh Haystacks Calhoun.
Speaker 1: I had not thought about that, Remember Haystacks Calhoun dude
Speaker 1: weighed like six hundred pounds, and six hundred pounds, you
Speaker 1: should not be able to do wrestling stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: You should be on you.
Speaker 1: You should be cutting the side of your house out
Speaker 1: and with the crane. Just call him coming to the
Speaker 1: rig man on a crane. He's in the He's in
Speaker 1: the Wrestling Hall of Fame. How wait, how young.
Speaker 2: Did he die? Sorry, that's probably a little dark anyway.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's sad, but they all tend to die.
Speaker 3: You don't really see a lot of like, you know,
Speaker 3: super old six hundred pound people.
Speaker 1: No, no, you're you're right, uh, at the age of fourteen.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is interesting.
Speaker 1: He started regionally wrestling in his twenties after a promoter
Speaker 1: was driving by and saw him lifting cows up in
Speaker 1: a field.
Speaker 2: And just moving him. And he's like, hey, and I
Speaker 2: got a golden.
Speaker 1: Tick, yeah exactly, and an enlarged heart probably meal ticket,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, all right, eight nineteen. Yeah, there's no good
Speaker 1: By the way, this is not a I don't even
Speaker 1: want to debate it.
Speaker 2: Andre's number one. I don't care what you say.
Speaker 1: There's no way it couse to Ross's point without Andre
Speaker 1: Hulk are Bird Jordan in the in in that kind
Speaker 1: of I was gonna say, this is as dumb as
Speaker 1: an argument or debate as like Jordan versus Lebron, Like
Speaker 1: there there is no debate.
Speaker 2: I don't even want to take part in the conversation. Exactly.
Speaker 2: All right, eight nineteen, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Somebody brought in boxes and boxes bow Jangles, Chicken Fla
Speaker 1: biscuits or sausage biscuits, sausage, egg and cheese, and then
Speaker 1: there's just boxes of bow rounds out there.
Speaker 3: Trump said it was going to be a new Golden Age,
Speaker 3: and this is a sign that you know it's true.
Speaker 3: That's like going back. I remember we used to do
Speaker 3: that all the time on Fridays, the bow Jangles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they but technically they brought it for one
Speaker 1: of the other stations and then we'd loot it. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure they brought it for me, oh and for Ross. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we loot all that.
Speaker 3: You know, we'd have to sneak it down. You'd go
Speaker 3: in the kitchen and you'd load up and put it
Speaker 3: under your hoodie and bring it back to me.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You had to get in there because they had an
Speaker 1: audience that they were feeding and they would always take
Speaker 1: the chicken ones first, and I can't abide that.
Speaker 3: Recently, I had lunch with Ivan or Old and actually,
Speaker 3: you keep talking. Remember Ivan used to work here.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What you You went to his wedding?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it actually was so good. It looks good.
Speaker 2: So yeah.
Speaker 3: So we're at lunch there at the Alehouse and he's like,
Speaker 3: you know, the best part about being there was I'm like,
Speaker 3: what was it? You know, our companionship and friendship and
Speaker 3: was it learning radio and stuff and you know, making
Speaker 3: the public laugh.
Speaker 2: And he's like, no, the free bow Jangles on Fridays.
Speaker 2: I have Texas Pete in my bag.
Speaker 3: Hold On, you know what, it's bow time. It's bow
Speaker 3: time from Bojangle.
Speaker 2: Hold On, I got them in here because I got
Speaker 2: the Yeah.
Speaker 3: See, it reminds you of the glory days. Oh you
Speaker 3: that howe of the glory days? I can compete. Back
Speaker 3: in the day, you didn't have to worry about food.
Speaker 3: You just come to the station and they'd be time
Speaker 3: food in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Well there is today because we had the thing, yes said,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of leftovers. Oh no, it's really weird.
Speaker 1: All the vegetable leftovers, the meat and cheese leftovers are
Speaker 1: in there. There's like these lacroix and there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of beer and wine too. All the dessert's gone.
Speaker 3: I wanted to bring some home today too. I was
Speaker 3: trying to behave myself and not bringing home last night
Speaker 3: and not looked like a greedy bastard. Well that was dumb,
Speaker 3: I know, super dumb. Yeah, so I'm like, oh, where's
Speaker 3: the little pieces of cheesecake? Er, the chalk gone?
Speaker 1: All our promotions girls are just they're probably in heaven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all gone. The cookies you're all gone too. It
Speaker 1: boxes those those super duper homemade cookies.
Speaker 2: Man, well good for that.
Speaker 3: I was really honestly shocked this morning when I came
Speaker 3: in and everything was cleaned up and nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they did a good job.
Speaker 1: So and and that's that's the other part of especially
Speaker 1: when you're starting out in radio, right and you you
Speaker 1: know you need you need need to Like I I
Speaker 1: can go get my own Bojangles, right, but you know
Speaker 1: the boss brought didn't. That being said, when it's when
Speaker 1: it's your first job in radio. Some I know radio
Speaker 1: people who never bought food for a while because they
Speaker 1: were able to work in radio and it likes it's
Speaker 1: like sustained them because there was so much food here
Speaker 1: on the KCO Day radio program.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, Boston.
Speaker 1: Paul's mad because there's a Denver Paul and I guess
Speaker 1: he feels cheated on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not only Denver Paul but also a former cop.
Speaker 2: You guys should fight in the octagon. That's all. It's
Speaker 2: really clear way to handle this right. Get in there.
Speaker 2: You guys can do too.
Speaker 1: We'll put a trading montage together. We'll get some of
Speaker 1: the Rockies soundtrack. We'll speed it up for you so
Speaker 1: you don't look like DeNiro trying to kick that guy's
Speaker 1: face in and the irishman.
Speaker 2: No, they both need to run on the beach.
Speaker 13: Ah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe they could play some volleyball. Really yeah, well
Speaker 1: a little bit of that action.
Speaker 2: I will say.
Speaker 3: When you go back and you watch Rocky Too, and
Speaker 3: you see the run on the beach with Apollo where
Speaker 3: they're both wearing like the John stocked and shirts and
Speaker 3: socks and stuff, yeah, it's very obvious that Apollo let
Speaker 3: him win.
Speaker 1: You started, now you start bef for what I am
Speaker 1: car well done is also Ross's other big thing is
Speaker 1: to get you divorced this morning, so because he just
Speaker 1: just what somebody's gonna suggest trying this to their wife
Speaker 1: later today and it's not gonna go.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I can hear that.
Speaker 1: You hear that A party in the hallway, man, They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: why don't we do it right next to the radio
Speaker 1: studios and not over in the conference room which has
Speaker 1: a door. Anyway, I wanted to come in here and
Speaker 1: clap for things we're saying. Could you think we could
Speaker 1: organize that? That'd be amazing, Right, you are make a
Speaker 1: good point. You get golf clap too. I don't want,
Speaker 1: I don't need them to go aggressive.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, uh crap, crap, crap, crap, cup, crap.
Speaker 2: M ross.
Speaker 1: If you check the Fox unanchored and anchored and see
Speaker 1: if they're rolling the Pentagon briefing that's going on right now,
Speaker 1: all right, so that they're they're doing a briefing on
Speaker 1: the on the strike. So let me let me tell
Speaker 1: you about this story he just sent me while he's
Speaker 1: looking looking to see if we got anything there. The
Speaker 1: TV is not working in here, so all right, I
Speaker 1: want to know what they're saying at the very least,
Speaker 1: maybe stream it on the on the tube of you
Speaker 1: or something and just let me know or followed on Twitter,
Speaker 1: right steaming on Twitter. So, yeah, they're having a Pentagon
Speaker 1: b I don't understand why we're still doing this. I'll
Speaker 1: get to ross the story here in just a moment
Speaker 1: that you sent me. It's it's because it's more funny
Speaker 1: than anything. But and it's a lot of stupid. But
Speaker 1: like we're in day whatever of this weird obsession with
Speaker 1: the media where they're like, oh.
Speaker 2: No, no, the missiles all missed. Yeah, no, they'll be
Speaker 2: back up and running by the end.
Speaker 15: Of the week.
Speaker 1: They never answered the question, what do you mean back
Speaker 1: up and run back up? Doing what whatever are you referencing?
Speaker 1: It's clear what they're referencing, obviously. So this intelligence and
Speaker 1: this intelligence report which was a very preliminary and it
Speaker 1: is literally labeled and considered of very low there's a
Speaker 1: terminology for it. It's a low confidence, right, it's initial assessments.
Speaker 1: They're using satellites obviously, and it's just first blush.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 1: First blush? And it has an asterisk in the report
Speaker 1: basically saying this is first blush, this is very low
Speaker 1: confidence intelligence and we need to we need to do
Speaker 1: more because a lot of what's a lot of what's
Speaker 1: going to inform them is subsequently what they see happening
Speaker 1: around these sites. So this this report got out, it's
Speaker 1: the one the media is using. And I want you
Speaker 1: to understand that somebody selectively leaked this thing to not
Speaker 1: just make Trump look bad, but to make these members
Speaker 1: of the military look like they don't know what the
Speaker 1: hell they're doing. Okay, all right, can we jip in
Speaker 1: on this? This is the Pentagon briefing going on right now.
Speaker 8: Checking.
Speaker 12: Sure, Oh so, Mike to Washington, Yanks. Anybody who's ever
Speaker 12: read a battalions to report after a fight knows that
Speaker 12: it's usually the initial report is usually wrong, sometimes grossly.
Speaker 12: So this is what happened. In a sense. It it
Speaker 12: caused y'all to sort of rethink the intelligence process us
Speaker 12: or the dissemination or do you think it's just I mean,
Speaker 12: it's a process itself doesn't require any more adjustment.
Speaker 14: Well, I can tell you what the chairman told me
Speaker 14: in the situation room reminded us all, which is alongside
Speaker 14: what you just said, sir, is that the first first
Speaker 14: reports are almost always wrong. They're almost always incomplete right, anything,
Speaker 14: whether it's a squad level operation or a strategic level operation.
Speaker 14: The initial reflections you get are coming at you at
Speaker 14: a high rate of speed from a lot of different sources.
Speaker 14: To your job is to step back and assess them.
Speaker 14: And that's why we're urging caution about putting it premising
Speaker 14: entire stories on biased leaks to biased publications, trying to
Speaker 14: make something look bad. How about we take a beat,
Speaker 14: recognize first the success of our warriors, hold them up,
Speaker 14: tell their stories, celebrate that wave an American flag, be
Speaker 14: proud of what we accomplished. And in the meantime, I
Speaker 14: can assure you the Chairman and his staff, the intelligence community,
Speaker 14: our staff and others are doing all the assassins necessary
Speaker 14: to make sure that mission was indeed successful.
Speaker 2: Yes, right, this is hech Seth.
Speaker 15: By the way, so thank you, MISSUS Secretary Hi. Iran
Speaker 15: has to recognized that their nuclear program was indeed severely damaged,
Speaker 15: but they also said that the US strikes only strengthen
Speaker 15: their ability and their determination to complete their nuclear program.
Speaker 15: How do you respond to us or is that a
Speaker 15: provocation from Iran?
Speaker 14: Well, I would say Iron's going to have to say
Speaker 14: a lot of things, right, now in order to bolster
Speaker 14: their image, especially internally. You know in if the media,
Speaker 14: there's a lot of things they'll say for domestic consumption,
Speaker 14: but we're watching very closely what they do. Again, that's
Speaker 14: the intelligib as the Chairman, I mean, the Chairman laid
Speaker 14: it up so beautifully.
Speaker 2: Our job is to be prepared. And how proud are you?
Speaker 14: How proud am I? I didn't know the full story
Speaker 14: of those men and women fifteen years ago who've been
Speaker 14: pointing at that target.
Speaker 2: That makes me proud to be an American. That's an
Speaker 2: awesome story.
Speaker 14: I hope we can tell more aspects of that in
Speaker 14: an unclassified way in the future. That's a great thing
Speaker 14: to know. Our job is to be prepared when the
Speaker 14: commander in chief calls based on those assessments. So of
Speaker 14: course our I see the Intelligence Committee will keep watching
Speaker 14: what Iran does and pay attention to that. But the
Speaker 14: President has created the contours, the opportunity for a deal
Speaker 14: for peace in something that the world said was intractable,
Speaker 14: that wasn't possible, and we got that piece, that cease fire,
Speaker 14: that option, because of strength, because of his willingness to.
Speaker 2: Use, we can get out of this.
Speaker 1: I'll give a little summary here in the final segment.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so basically the initial report was this. We
Speaker 1: think it's much more substantial the fact that we're doing
Speaker 1: this and the fact that that was leaked, And for
Speaker 1: those of you thinking that the leak, because the way
Speaker 1: that outlets are presenting this, I don't think gives a
Speaker 1: clear picture. Not very few people had access to that report.
Speaker 1: But there's two groups of people who did have access,
Speaker 1: and that is the well, there's more than just two.
Speaker 1: It's congressional committees that deal with intelligent the intelligence and
Speaker 1: military side of things. So when there's it's not just
Speaker 1: some staffer they're looking for it. Maybe a staffer, but
Speaker 1: there's a very high probability it's a member of Congress
Speaker 1: who doesn't like Trump, who sits on one of those committees,
Speaker 1: who leaked this thing or had somebody leak it after
Speaker 1: they themselves got a copy and then conveyed it to
Speaker 1: get that separation. So understand what you're dealing with. But
Speaker 1: what a dumb thing to spend days and days on.
Speaker 1: But we should be I don't say used to it
Speaker 1: by now, but we should expect it. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get Jeff mar from the Weather channel and by now
Speaker 1: you should be used to and expect to melt when
Speaker 1: you walk outside.
Speaker 4: Fun. Yeah, Unfortunately, we're not done with a heat of
Speaker 4: humidity today. We've got another heat advisor. He's going to
Speaker 4: start at eleven and lasted until seven this evening. The
Speaker 4: reason behind your ninety six field and hotter though that

Speaker 1: you said what I said, you guys hate him so much,
Speaker 1: it's that that you're going to start from there, and
Speaker 1: and it gives you joy to hack upon him when
Speaker 1: I and honestly, I want some analysis. And and who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe one site is decimated and one site could use
Speaker 1: a few more bunker busters that they look like they're

Speaker 1: off the thing. You're like, I got an idea, and
Speaker 1: they'll be like, whoa this is? I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: this our thing. He's like, no, no, not that, and
Speaker 1: then just stick it over their mouth like it they're
Speaker 1: a bank hostage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of those things where like a
Speaker 3: retweet doesn't necessarily mean endorsement, Like just because I scent
Speaker 3: it along doesn't mean I think you should put duct
Speaker 3: tape over your wife's mouth while in bed, you know,
Speaker 3: and make her into a kidnapping victim.
Speaker 2: Because but have you ever thought of it? Have not?
Speaker 2: Not you?
Speaker 1: It was more of a general because I guarantee there's
Speaker 1: some people listening, both men and women, who thought I
Speaker 1: would love to duct tape that person's mouth shut right now.
Speaker 3: But you look at like the photo from the New
Speaker 3: York Post article that we were retweeted at Casey on
Speaker 3: the radio, Yeah, it looks like, you know, like she's
Speaker 3: gonna die.
Speaker 2: Because she can't breathe.
Speaker 1: She'd force her to breathe out of her nose. I
Speaker 1: hope she doesn't get a clog nose later. Man, that's
Speaker 1: not gonna go well for so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's a certain amount of humor obviously,
Speaker 1: with the idea that you might get a better night's
Speaker 1: sleep if your spouse can't talk to you so or
Speaker 1: has to talk like Dakota.
Speaker 2: Johnson and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh tell oh yeah, baby, Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: What do you want to breathe? Oh well you.
Speaker 1: Want want wanta every day? Give, give, give, I need
Speaker 1: some me time. Here's some more tape. And yeah, it's
Speaker 1: fine when the dude's like a billionaire or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird how that works?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 2: Sexy? Yeah? How well, how hot that is
