Speaker 1: I don't want to do a show. Maybe we just
Speaker 1: binge something. This morning, Ross sent me an amazing article
Speaker 1: this morning. All right, you ready for this? This is
Speaker 1: from Axios. Gen Z admits to binge watching shows and
Speaker 1: movies at work. I I mean maybe it kind of
Speaker 1: depends what you do, whether you work from home, whether
Speaker 1: it's in the background, a little something something. And I
Speaker 1: can't really complain because I'm gonna do this on Thursday.
Speaker 1: It's a very special week.
Speaker 2: Ross.
Speaker 1: Do you know what week it is? I don't, I do,
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know that you realize. What
Speaker 1: do you think this week?
Speaker 3: Is?
Speaker 4: Easter's coming up soon?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: No, we have it in the system. I mean, what
Speaker 1: do I do in April? What do I do in April?
Speaker 1: For one of the weeks? We even have special music
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 4: It's a oh yeah, The Masters, that's right, baby starts Thursday,
Speaker 4: and that less so than the British Open.
Speaker 1: The British Open, because it starts earlier, is on during
Speaker 1: the entire show. The Masters really only gets about the
Speaker 1: last hour and a half. So I don't know that
Speaker 1: I can complain. All right, So how does this work?
Speaker 1: I have not read this whole article that you sent me.
Speaker 1: What they do is it's just streaming in the background. Sorry,
Speaker 1: my voice is just crap this morning. I don't even
Speaker 1: know why. I'm assuming it's because every plant is trying
Speaker 1: to kill us, right, yeah.
Speaker 4: Pretty much? Yea, I know what this story is saying that,
Speaker 4: like gen Z, a majority of them don't want to
Speaker 4: go back to work because it's gonna interfere with their
Speaker 4: streaming habits and patterns. Like it's gonna they're not gonna
Speaker 4: be able to watch their shows.
Speaker 1: I mean, to be fair, they have a lot to
Speaker 1: catch up on versus us, right, like, we're decades ahead
Speaker 1: of them. But if you're gen Z, you haven't watched
Speaker 1: all of Growing Pains Fresh Prince Alf. I mean, Alf's
Speaker 1: gonna take you probably a whole week. You have a
Speaker 1: lot to catch up on.
Speaker 4: I mean, personally, I think it's disgusting behavior and it
Speaker 4: shows a really bad work ethic. I personally wouldn't be
Speaker 4: involved in and anything like that.
Speaker 1: Ever.
Speaker 4: I sit here now, just you know, locked in focused
Speaker 4: on work. That's what I do.
Speaker 1: So you would never hypothetically, dear Robbie, does that work?
Speaker 1: Does that work? In the basheb.
Speaker 6: Don't tell him I found his parents.
Speaker 4: I'll be back in a few days.
Speaker 3: See signed it right there, Brandy?
Speaker 1: Is that that's an email to Trevor. I'm assuming that you're.
Speaker 4: Dictating about the meeting today. Very important for me to dictate.
Speaker 1: The note period, ok fellas crime, more crime.
Speaker 5: We will go back down and to God.
Speaker 1: And get you a Lamberger's friends cried, how about a
Speaker 1: why a cat? You little sissy boy?
Speaker 7: That sucks?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you have literally watched an entire and
Speaker 1: then insert whatever it is in the background. The difference
Speaker 1: is this is literally our game now, watching Joe Dirt
Speaker 1: for the three hundred and seventy eighth time or whatever
Speaker 1: is in the background. I can't even hear what that is.
Speaker 1: That's not it you watching. I don't know WrestleMania three.
Speaker 1: When did Hogan slam Andre? Was that three?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: Like, we work in a job category where arguably that
Speaker 1: might be. Okay, that's the point that I'm making. So
Speaker 1: the fact that it's in the way is everything in
Speaker 1: the system.
Speaker 4: And these are all on my phone. I'm streaming on
Speaker 4: my phone, Okay, all right, I'm not gonna why. I'm
Speaker 4: a professional. I'm not going to stream it on the
Speaker 4: the button bar.
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm not going to that's I'm giving you.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you an excuse, like we work in a
Speaker 1: place that has an excuse only because that's our Here
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 4: Get the point that I was making.
Speaker 8: We have an excuse, but you have to explain how
Speaker 8: we're getting picks him up the big lag boom. Well
Speaker 8: we get the paid one, two, three, it's over, it's over.
Speaker 1: He's done.
Speaker 4: You possible. I am a professional.
Speaker 1: That's like the last good thing to ever happen in Detroit.
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Or Okay? No, I shouldn't say that
Speaker 1: the Malice in the Palace was pretty good when we're
Speaker 1: punching NBA fans. I'll watch that, all right. So what
Speaker 1: a weird story he sent me. And I was going
Speaker 1: to go in a different direction, but I was fascinated
Speaker 1: by this. Okay, so this is all right. Here we go.
Speaker 1: US adults that stream at least one hour a week
Speaker 1: found that fifty three percent of gen zers say they
Speaker 1: have put off working to finish a show they were
Speaker 1: binge watching. Okay, I and I'm assuming, and this is
Speaker 1: what I don't understand. Are they it's just gen zers
Speaker 1: that work from home? Or are they doing this literally
Speaker 1: in the office.
Speaker 4: No, they're saying they do it at home, and that's
Speaker 4: one reason they don't want to go back to the office.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Okay, all right, Sorry, I was trying to digest this.
Speaker 1: Like five minutes before the show. Fifty two percent say
Speaker 1: they don't want to return to the office they'll miss streaming.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Uh fifty four percent you streaming is
Speaker 1: background noise. Now, to be fair, when I'm show prepping,
Speaker 1: I have literally something probably on the TV, and then
Speaker 1: I'm show prepping either on my iPad or my phone. However,
Speaker 1: most likely whatever is streaming is partially show prep. Does
Speaker 1: that make sense? So, like if Trump has a thing
Speaker 1: during roughly about four to six, five to seven, which
Speaker 1: is when I show prep, I may have that on
Speaker 1: or it's usually tied in so I'm watching videos that
Speaker 1: are up on YouTube or Twitter while I'm doing show prep.
Speaker 1: So it can be a press conference something like that. However,
Speaker 1: during Masters week, during the basketball tournament that just happened,
Speaker 1: that may be on in the background.
Speaker 4: But once again, it's different because you have to talk
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 1: Right. No, No, That's what I'm saying, Like we can get
Speaker 1: away with absolute murder. But if you're like an actuary
Speaker 1: or you're punching spreadsheets for a company, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe at rest the brain, I don't know. Forty four
Speaker 1: admitted using streaming. Oh what is now? This one's weird?
Speaker 1: Hold on, Oh, this is getting into the loggins. I
Speaker 1: don't even care about that. Hold On, fifty four, you
Speaker 1: streaming his background noise for work tasks, but we'll deny
Speaker 1: it to their boss. Well, how do you get away
Speaker 1: with that if your boss hears it? And of course
Speaker 1: our boss can hear it because we're on the air,
Speaker 1: But this is what they pay us to do. Most
Speaker 1: listen to music. I got no problem with that. That's fine.
Speaker 1: Scrolling social media, yeah, that's probably not helpful, But listening
Speaker 1: to music, sure, depending on whatever your task is. I
Speaker 1: believe yesterday we talked about greasing the Hoothy's using a walkman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think boss at Audio for that. I think
Speaker 4: if you're at work, weather, at home, doing remote work,
Speaker 4: or actually going into the office, I think listening to
Speaker 4: like a podcast is fine, you know, is it?
Speaker 1: Now? Music and podcasts, I feel like there's a different
Speaker 1: attention that's required.
Speaker 4: I think is spoken word podcasts like a daily podcast
Speaker 4: uploaded every day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, music might be distracted and completely there's voice and instruments.
Speaker 4: Right, or it can make you crazy, like you're trying
Speaker 4: to ear in your Cuba color whatever, and you're collating
Speaker 4: your papers because that's what they pay you to do,
Speaker 4: whatever that means. And you're doing your coalating and you're
Speaker 4: doing your your work there.
Speaker 1: And reports and you're report right.
Speaker 4: Danger zone or something comes on the radio before you
Speaker 4: know you've trashed the office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's unacceptable. But a couple guys talking about
Speaker 1: I don't know, tweet, see, it's going to get you focused. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: the zone right in Wait, hold on, what is this?
Speaker 1: The TV amount? Blah blah blah blah blah, plane news
Speaker 1: always muted. All right, well you're boring, sir, So well
Speaker 1: I got the news on in the background, blah blah.
Speaker 1: The only news you need happens three hours a day,
Speaker 1: six to nine. Podcast available via the iHeartRadio app. That's
Speaker 1: what you need. That's it, very simple, all right, six
Speaker 1: seventeen KCO day radio program. Sorry, Ross got me so
Speaker 1: distracted with that this morning, because like I can't figure
Speaker 1: out they're clearly talking about people at work, and I
Speaker 1: just like it's weird because I've almost always worked this job,
Speaker 1: So I like, I can't process, you know, the day
Speaker 1: to day corporate or something. But I just I can't
Speaker 1: believe you work at I don't know what, Uh, what's
Speaker 1: what would be a good corporate example around here? You
Speaker 1: work at what's the big one in Carrie? What's the
Speaker 1: one I'm thinking of? Or I mean, just pick anything.
Speaker 1: So if you work for like PNC Downtown, can you
Speaker 1: get away with that? Can you be Can you be
Speaker 1: sitting at your cubicle doing your job. I'm not questioning
Speaker 1: your work ethic and your boss swings buy and you're
Speaker 1: streaming old episodes of and then you know, insert whatever
Speaker 1: it is. I don't know. Maybe maybe I have a
Speaker 1: skewed view and Ross Ross probably has a skewed view
Speaker 1: of what is acceptable in corporate America because this is
Speaker 1: what we've done for, you know, our whole career.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 4: To be fair, I've never worked in corporate America, right,
Speaker 4: And I don't even own as soon a tie.
Speaker 1: I really don't. I have one. It doesn't fit and
Speaker 1: I wore it to get this job. Last time I
Speaker 1: wore a suit.
Speaker 4: Right, right, Like, all I know about corporate America comes
Speaker 4: from the movie Office Space. That's it.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's a documentary. It's fairly accurate. Right, But
Speaker 1: even if you ever wanted to even smash a piece
Speaker 1: of electronics outside.
Speaker 4: But even Milton was allowed to listen to his ratable,
Speaker 4: his radio at a good volume.
Speaker 1: And I know that people listen to us while they're working.
Speaker 1: We are of all the radio stations in that iHeart has.
Speaker 1: We stream all day throughout the day, and we beat everything.
Speaker 1: It's clearly people sitting at their desk listening, which you should.
Speaker 1: I feel like it makes you a better employee. It's
Speaker 1: the surest path to you know, being a millionaire. A
Speaker 1: millionaire I just made that up, but it's probably true.
Speaker 1: So that's what people do. But like, we have a
Speaker 1: skewed view because literally right now I could go to
Speaker 1: break which I'm going to, and then ROS could go
Speaker 1: watch wrestle Mania highlights and go, oh no, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: just putting audio on the sty and then I can't
Speaker 1: say anything that would be perfectly acceptable. That's the job
Speaker 1: that we work. Wait, hold on, all right, so oh dude,
Speaker 1: everyone watches the Masters at work. I understand this. They
Speaker 1: have their own app. It's easy to stream of SaaS well. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was the one. I'm thinking, like, are you sitting
Speaker 1: at SaaS doing that? Now here's the thing, sitting at
Speaker 1: a corporate grind and I'm not. If that's what you do,
Speaker 1: good for you, that's fine, But what if you're I
Speaker 1: don't know whoever was in charge of that dam in
Speaker 1: Tennessee that just randomly opened up and flooded half the state.
Speaker 1: And if you're not following this, that's a crazy story.
Speaker 1: Is that dude sitting in there watching old uh you
Speaker 1: know Bonanzas hit the wrong button and then now people
Speaker 1: are literally getting flooded. Wait, what is this? All right,
Speaker 1: here's somebody who works at home depot. Well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe you're watching Home Improvement. I'm just saying your mileage
Speaker 1: may vary, all right, six twenty one Acota Radio program. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the Masters starting Thursday. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: You know, Tiger's playing and that dude just blew an
Speaker 1: Achilles like three months ago, and apparently the doctors were
Speaker 1: able to stitch him up, so he's gonna play.
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, the one of the craziest things that ever happened,
Speaker 1: and it it literally traumatized me as a kid before
Speaker 1: my dad decided he didn't want to hang out with
Speaker 1: us anymore. He and I what was he doing? He
Speaker 1: was he played softball and he's like, was slow rolling
Speaker 1: the base and his achilles ruptured and I remember looking
Speaker 1: at his foot and I was scarred for that, and
Speaker 1: it took him like a year and a half to
Speaker 1: actually fix himself. And Tiger Woods is going to go
Speaker 1: out and for people think, well, you don't use your
Speaker 1: feet for golf, you don't play golf. The foot position
Speaker 1: and the way that your feet actually move in your
Speaker 1: swing is I don't know if it's equally as important
Speaker 1: as your arms, but it's very important.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've never actually golfed before in my life
Speaker 4: besides the many golf And obviously you're standing on your
Speaker 4: legs and your feet and you're moving them to hit
Speaker 4: the ball.
Speaker 1: So you're not just moving them. You're taking your entire
Speaker 1: body weight from one foot and you're shifting it to
Speaker 1: the other in a proper fashion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like it's all upper body. It's not connected.
Speaker 1: And they're just like, oh no, we just we got
Speaker 1: that fixed. You're gonna play. So yeah, I'm super excited
Speaker 1: this year because remember he came back and won the
Speaker 1: Masters for no reason and like three years ago, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll be back. Hang on, don't watch too much TV.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have to talk about it only because
Speaker 1: everybody was absolutely on edge, you know, yesterday, But the
Speaker 1: dow down three hundred, it's not it's not what you
Speaker 1: want to see, but it's wildly unremarkable three hundred points,
Speaker 1: you know, of a forty thousand dow or a fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dow or whatever they're hoping to get to. Because
Speaker 1: again you got to almost approach it from the baked
Speaker 1: in rate cuts which haven't happened, and then it gets
Speaker 1: more complex there. But like down three high, people were
Speaker 1: thinking the thing was going to lose two thousand points
Speaker 1: yesterday and ross did you watch it when you got home?
Speaker 1: Just kind of did you pay any attention?
Speaker 4: Like on Twitter to I did pay attention because I
Speaker 4: was just curious as to what because everyone was like, oh,
Speaker 4: the world's gonna end right panicking, and you know, it's
Speaker 4: the next Great depression. And there was a while there
Speaker 4: where everything was super green on the on the app
Speaker 4: like up three hundred, two hundred, and then it went
Speaker 4: back down, but like with Nasdaq, ended up in the
Speaker 4: green at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, so this is just if you want proof
Speaker 1: that it's damn near a meme coin. Somebody on CNBC
Speaker 1: made a statement, not somebody in the Trump administration, and
Speaker 1: they basically said they would love to see Trump pause
Speaker 1: it for ninety days. All right, I'm going to paraphrase
Speaker 1: here because it's it's a it's a bit more complex,
Speaker 1: but this is the gist of it. So, like late mornings,
Speaker 1: somebody said that on CNBC, and then, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: a couple news outlets took it to mean that he
Speaker 1: was saying that Trump was going to do that, which
Speaker 1: didn't make any sense because the guy doesn't speak for
Speaker 1: the administration, right, he was just somebody there were interviewing,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you had a couple
Speaker 1: outlets reporting that the Trump administration was going to pause
Speaker 1: them for ninety days, and it went from down like
Speaker 1: six hundred to up almost eight hundred within minutes. And
Speaker 1: then the White House or Trump issued a thing going
Speaker 1: that's not true, that's not a thing which would undermine
Speaker 1: this negotiating position that they have and then it crashed
Speaker 1: back down. But by the end of the day it
Speaker 1: was up three hundred and that was within like forty
Speaker 1: minutes all that happened. How are you supposed to take
Speaker 1: that seriously? I mean this in an honest fashion. You
Speaker 1: saw meme coin behavior. Well, everyone's going this. You know,
Speaker 1: the end is nigh, as Ross pointed out there, and
Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, even though it
Speaker 1: ended down, it wasn't any thing that would even make
Speaker 1: a news story in most situations.
Speaker 4: Right, and shockingly, I know you're going to be shocked
Speaker 4: to hear Jim Kramer was once again way off because
Speaker 4: he was predicted twenty two down right, dude.
Speaker 1: Did you see back on the thirtieth or the thirty
Speaker 1: first where he said today is the worst day to
Speaker 1: buy stocks and it happened to be a dip and
Speaker 1: then it actually strategically was the best day to buy
Speaker 1: stocks in like four years or something. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: it's fickle, so you know a day later it wasn't.
Speaker 1: But like that, dude's money, what opposite.
Speaker 4: A lot of it is? It seems to be and
Speaker 4: I'm talking out my ass here. I do have a
Speaker 4: retirement a four one k. But it all does seem
Speaker 4: to be like speculative, right, and like vibes and now
Speaker 4: what's the future going to be? And that's very important, right,
Speaker 4: people have to know, like what their opportunities in the future.
Speaker 1: Are going to be. So I so.
Speaker 4: You're all in, right me. I know, I put all
Speaker 4: my money in the coin. I already told you this.
Speaker 4: All my money is in the E coin.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's right. I'm going to try to get
Speaker 1: back from Vietnamese monkeys racing on motorcycles and I thought
Speaker 1: that might be a better investment. But actually the stock
Speaker 1: marker was okay.
Speaker 4: And we saw a lot of stuff like from the
Speaker 4: EU right that he was like, hey, we wanted to
Speaker 4: go shoot Japan seriously wants to negotiot, Vietnam, Mexico, all
Speaker 4: these countries, Israel obviously net and Yah who was at
Speaker 4: the White House what yesterday?
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't know if you saw
Speaker 1: the where he pushed net and Yah who's chairing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw they were making a big deal out
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 1: Who do you mean by they?
Speaker 4: I just read the headlight. I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 4: why that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: But okay, yeah, but like who on Twitter then turned
Speaker 1: that into a whole thing. I saw that and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't be on Twitter later because it's just going
Speaker 1: to be like, oh my gosh, the Jews. Right, And
Speaker 1: it was some of that. But like for those of
Speaker 1: you don't know that that's Trump's thing, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that Trump does that kind of feel like
Speaker 1: eighties early nineties. How do I describe this? He does
Speaker 1: it because it's a non verbal thing. No, it's like
Speaker 1: a power move exactly. That's what I'm That's what I'm
Speaker 1: striving at.
Speaker 4: So that's what his handshake is all about. All this stuff, correct.
Speaker 1: Where he draws people in there one hundred percent and
Speaker 1: it's it look is it kind of cheesy? Yes it is.
Speaker 1: These are kind of cheesy eighties nineties power moves, but
Speaker 1: it's part of Trump and he does it not just
Speaker 1: for Net and Yahoo. He did it for Mody, the
Speaker 1: Indian Prime Minister. He did it for who's whoever. The
Speaker 1: Australian PM came out. I mean, tons of video on
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's his thing and people go, well, you're
Speaker 1: pushing their chair in So what you're doing is you're
Speaker 1: letting them know they're the alfa in the room, and
Speaker 1: it's not that you're doing that as the president of
Speaker 1: the United States from a negotiating stand.
Speaker 4: And it's fascinating when you see people said by side,
Speaker 4: like Vladimir Putin next to Trump, trying to get that
Speaker 4: one upmanship when it comes to that, yeah, like oh,
Speaker 4: you know, top on, my hands on top, Oh, now,
Speaker 4: my hands on your shoulder. Now you're leaning in that
Speaker 4: kind of stuff, you know, you know.
Speaker 1: Like literally one of the most famous moments of this
Speaker 1: is the photo stance at the with Reagan right when
Speaker 1: they had the big meeting where was it Greenland, Iceland
Speaker 1: or wherever Iceland? Right? That was a big deal with
Speaker 1: with the Russians, and there is there is literally a
Speaker 1: documentary that just encompasses the fight for where you stand
Speaker 1: and how you position yourself. And you've seen it. Do
Speaker 1: you remember when Barack Obama did that photo where he
Speaker 1: was like blocking Themngolian Prime Minister. I think I did
Speaker 1: a parody song over it, like these are all real
Speaker 1: deal things that have transpired. And I saw people doing
Speaker 1: like micro analysis of this yesterday and I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: not that complex. He's doing it because the if the
Speaker 1: president of the United States pushes your chair in, it
Speaker 1: makes you feel special. Okay, it makes you feel special.
Speaker 1: And so now you're sitting there and he wants something
Speaker 1: from you, you subconsciously may be more open to it.
Speaker 1: And I saw people making a big deal of that, yes,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is like basic, Stu, you may
Speaker 1: not do it, but like Trump buys into all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's clearly worked for him over the years, So
Speaker 1: it's sometimes it's it's not that complex, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four coming up on the show. We got some
Speaker 1: good audio today. Oh there's a couple of things we
Speaker 1: didn't get to Yesterday'm gonna have to get to as well.
Speaker 1: So apparently we're God when it comes to species, but
Speaker 1: not really because some of the news headlines or I
Speaker 1: feel like they're misrepresenting this. But we'll get into that.
Speaker 1: There's dire wolves now, but not really. This is so
Speaker 1: dumb and the most interesting thing that Trump did yesterday
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with all of the terriff insanity,
Speaker 1: but it kind of does in the sense that had
Speaker 1: happened in that world. And it's really funny actually, So
Speaker 1: we'll get to that and much more. Six forty four
Speaker 1: hang on on the President's calendar. One netanyah who visited. Now,
Speaker 1: they did cancel like a joint presser, but they did
Speaker 1: do whatever their meeting was, and largely I'm assuming their
Speaker 1: meeting was about like tariff stuff right with most countries.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what it must have been fielding
Speaker 1: phone calls at the White House yesterday from other countries.
Speaker 1: I believe I saw fifty different countries reached out yesterday,
Speaker 1: which doesn't surprise me. So they had that going on.
Speaker 1: But in addition yesterday to what you would kind of
Speaker 1: expect with what was in the news, they also had
Speaker 1: the visit of the World Series champion LA Dodgers doing
Speaker 1: their White House visit, and in fact, I think the
Speaker 1: Eagles are like next week, something like that week or
Speaker 1: week two weeks away. I saw people that incorrectly said
Speaker 1: they weren't going to be there, but they're actually coming,
Speaker 1: all right. So you had the Dodgers there, and when
Speaker 1: you have the Dodgers there, you have the lawmakers from California,
Speaker 1: which unfortunately in this case means what is the one
Speaker 1: dude's name Padilla, who was the state treasurer. And then
Speaker 1: of course somebody you do know, Adam Schiff, So they
Speaker 1: had the two senators from California. I just want you
Speaker 1: to know who Trump is referring to. And what was
Speaker 1: crazy to me is, imagine all of that news cycle
Speaker 1: yesterday and we're just watching it, and most people were
Speaker 1: plugged in. They were commenting on social media, they were
Speaker 1: talking to people at work. I mean, maybe some people said,
Speaker 1: I'm just going to ignore it, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: it was like part of many people's lives yesterday, none
Speaker 1: more so than Donald Trump, the president who decided to
Speaker 1: do it. And yet this dude is hosting a sports
Speaker 1: team and cracking jokes. That's the part that blew me away.
Speaker 1: And it's funny, by the way. So he's got the
Speaker 1: Dodgers up there. Remember everything this dude has going on
Speaker 1: in the background. And yet this is how easy breezy
Speaker 1: he is at the whole Dodger visit thing. Listen to
Speaker 1: the congratulations Brian.
Speaker 4: And others.
Speaker 9: We have a couple of senators here. I just don't
Speaker 9: particularly like them, so I won't introduce. Over the course
Speaker 9: of this amazing season, the members of this team.
Speaker 10: I didn't think it was that big a deal.
Speaker 1: Washington, How like is that weird or is that just
Speaker 1: weird to me? Like it should be from and I've
Speaker 1: you know, I've never been president, but I would assume
Speaker 1: that yesterday was one of your high stress stays because
Speaker 1: you're doing this thing. You're doing this thing that people
Speaker 1: are literally claiming is going to end the country. Right,
Speaker 1: you got this going and you're cracking jokes while you're
Speaker 1: you're glad handing. He grabbed like a Munsey's arm from
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and he made some other weird comment about
Speaker 1: like how most people's arms are jello and his steel
Speaker 1: and he's just he's just there like he's doing a
Speaker 1: listener meet and greet at one of the musician things
Speaker 1: that we've done in radio. Like it's it's so not
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's not serious, because like
Speaker 1: this is an official function at the White House, but
Speaker 1: for him to be out there just cracking jokes like
Speaker 1: nothing's going on, it was pretty wild. Man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you you almost or to think it's because he's
Speaker 4: confident and knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1: That health that possibly that's one of the theories.
Speaker 4: And just compare that to the previous four years with
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, right where you would have these big news
Speaker 4: stories and not only would he would he not you
Speaker 4: would not hear from the man for a week. Remember Afghanistan.
Speaker 4: Where is he?
Speaker 1: He's a basement's ice cream.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, this is going on, and he's like, you know,
Speaker 4: hosting the Dodgers and cracking jokes and being super comfortable
Speaker 4: in the.
Speaker 1: Middle of all, Yes, while they're issuing statements that that
Speaker 1: clearly are hyper political. It was just, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say weird because it cannotes some sort of negative thing.
Speaker 1: It's just like, I don't know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I was attempting to carry out essentially the restructuring of
Speaker 1: the global financial order, if I'd be cracking jokes with
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and I'm pretty comfortable on the air.
Speaker 4: To some extent, it reminds me of Reagan in the eighties,
Speaker 4: where he was like, you know, battling with doing the
Speaker 4: Cold War and the Soviet Union, and then he'd be
Speaker 4: in these press conferences cracking jokes that is making people laugh. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but like it's kind of similar, but like, but.
Speaker 1: It is similar. But that's part of the large part
Speaker 1: of it. Trump is right in the middle of something
Speaker 1: very specific. I don't know that I'm describing this as
Speaker 1: well as I know.
Speaker 4: It's a reset of the great reset, and you can
Speaker 4: imagine there's a lot of pressure there because it could
Speaker 4: it could go the other way.
Speaker 1: I mean that is, you wouldn't know it from that audio.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know it from that audio. The guy's running
Speaker 1: around squeezing dude's arms, going, that's like a steal. Well,
Speaker 1: the guy's major league baseball player, making jokes about Adam
Speaker 1: Schiff in the room. Just whatever, just cool, calm and collected. Now,
Speaker 1: it either means, as Ross pointed out, he's very comfortable
Speaker 1: with what he's doing, or others interpreted as he's a
Speaker 1: lunatic and like he doesn't care what he's doing. He
Speaker 1: doesn't understand it. Like you know, I understand that people
Speaker 1: are gonna paint that in different directions. That being said,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that I could operate like that.
Speaker 1: But I have a very stressful day at work. The
Speaker 1: last thing I want to do is interact with people. Hunter,
Speaker 1: even though this is an interact with people kind of job,
Speaker 1: but I mean, like in person, that stresses me. Out man,
Speaker 1: we have listeners. It it's not because I don't want
Speaker 1: to hang out with you. It's like that's a stressful thing.
Speaker 1: It just it just because it's it's it like disrupts
Speaker 1: the normal order of the day. I have to figure
Speaker 1: out how I'm gonna do prep because usually it's like
Speaker 1: an afternoon evening thing like it. It's just kind of
Speaker 1: it upends everything. This guy, as you said, is resetting
Speaker 1: the great Reset and cracking jokes with major league players,
Speaker 1: and I guess good on him, and I understand how
Speaker 1: people are gonna twist it as well. But account man,
Speaker 1: all right, it is uh, look at that. I don't
Speaker 1: have time for this other story. I got about a
Speaker 1: minute left, all right. Coming up on the show, I
Speaker 1: mentioned the dire Wolf stuff We're going to get into
Speaker 1: that I'm going to and I'm going to be much
Speaker 1: more middle of the road here. I feel like we
Speaker 1: finally have to analyze what's going on. And I mentioned it,
Speaker 1: I think Friday on the show where you had was it?
Speaker 1: Did I mention it Friday or maybe maybe yesterday? I
Speaker 1: mentioned it where you have this seventeen year old who
Speaker 1: stabbed another seventeen year old in the heart, killed him
Speaker 1: and at a track meet, right, and there's, of course
Speaker 1: there's the racial connotations there. Everybody's taking this in their
Speaker 1: own direction. The fundraising is crazy. I'm just going about
Speaker 1: my business right before I would do prep and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm hungry, and I was digging through the fridge and
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of like I just went shopping,
Speaker 1: got a bunch of stuff in there, and I bought
Speaker 1: a bunch of potatoes, and so in my brain, I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna chop these up. I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: some delicious French fries to snack on because I'm not
Speaker 1: ready for dinner yet, throw them in the air fryer, which, uh,
Speaker 1: there's I mean, that's the way to go nowadays. Little garlic,
Speaker 1: olive oil. I had some fresh basil and parsley. It
Speaker 1: was gonna be my air fryer. Which I'm trying to
Speaker 1: remember when I got on the air fryer train, it
Speaker 1: was what maybe a year ago. I mean, it literally
Speaker 1: happened on the air. I finally like bit the bullet,
Speaker 1: so glad I did, and I actually bought a nice
Speaker 1: one mid French fry ross. Thing just decided it doesn't
Speaker 1: work anymore.
Speaker 4: I think this is one of those things where you
Speaker 4: feel like it was like a year ago and it's
Speaker 4: actually gonna be like four or five.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that long. I don't because I
Speaker 1: was looking. I think the thing may still be under warranty.
Speaker 1: I don't, And I have no idea what happened. It
Speaker 1: wasn't over overloaded or nothing. And did it have a
Speaker 1: weird smell? And I could hear it shut off because
Speaker 1: it has like the it gave the I'm done ding
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't done, although I did eat the fries,
Speaker 1: they were mostly done. Yeah, the whole thing just crapped
Speaker 1: the bed yesterday. So very upset.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've moved on to our second one. We have
Speaker 4: the Drew Barrymore model, and Drew Barrymore has a series
Speaker 4: of products like cooking products, and you're like, ah, and
Speaker 4: this thing is amazing. It's it's leap years ahead of
Speaker 4: the old air fryer we had so good. It's like
Speaker 4: Drew or Berry. You just google Drew Barrymore air fryer'll
Speaker 4: come out.
Speaker 3: It said.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not it's not once she recommended it's literally
Speaker 1: her own.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she has her own brand of products, okay.
Speaker 1: And I haven't had Ninja, which I'm which is you know,
Speaker 1: I did the research and the Ninja look good, and
Speaker 1: I got the Ninja because I have the Ninja, the
Speaker 1: little Mini from Ninja, and that thing's amazing. That's great.
Speaker 1: I've had that for years. So yeah, the airfryer just
Speaker 1: crapping out. You have to say, not happy about that,
Speaker 1: so uh, probably need to get one before the tariffs, right, dude,
Speaker 1: I was reading an article yesterday. Do you know what
Speaker 1: Apple's doing right now? They are They have literally chartered
Speaker 1: aircraft and they're flying as many iPhones into the US
Speaker 1: as they can asap outside of their normal transport, right
Speaker 1: because normally when they transport it's not air it's you know,
Speaker 1: cargo ships. They're flying as many iPhones in the US,
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out what the hell's going to happen.
Speaker 1: So so I don't know. Maybe I won't be able
Speaker 1: to replace with that, but I never knew how much
Speaker 1: I missed my air fryer until my fries weren't done yesterday,
Speaker 1: So we shall see.
Speaker 4: I mean, what are you supposed to do now? Put
Speaker 4: them in a microwave or like an oven?
Speaker 1: Or something. What is that actually a friar? I have
Speaker 1: a I never use it. So do you have a
Speaker 1: fryar like a deep friar?
Speaker 4: We do, but we've never used it, I don't think, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the once the air fryar was in there,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I used it before then on very rare occasions.
Speaker 1: But I haven't touched that thing in a long time.
Speaker 1: So all right, people are sending weird emails this morning. Hey,
Speaker 1: you mentioned parody songs. What happened to him? You haven't
Speaker 1: had a new one? And uh so, my my buddy Tim,
Speaker 1: who sang all those parody songs, he didn't do that anymore.
Speaker 1: So that was literally his business, and so I would
Speaker 1: contract with him to do it. So I don't have
Speaker 1: somebody to sing him because you don't want me singing them,
Speaker 1: and you probably don't. I don't ross can you sing?
Speaker 1: I guess I've never asked. I mean I can sing, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: can you sing? Well?
Speaker 4: I mean if that's all subjective?
Speaker 1: Right, okay? So no, all right, So we don't have
Speaker 1: somebody to sing him, sir, And so that's what's up
Speaker 1: with them. It was another radio buddy, and then that
Speaker 1: was his niche thing, and literally he got paid for that.
Speaker 1: So I was so happy to support him, and we
Speaker 1: did parody songs for I don't know a decade with Tim,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he doesn't do it anymore. Want So that's
Speaker 1: why you haven't heard a new one in in forever,
Speaker 1: well not forever, like about eight months, seven eight months.
Speaker 1: To answer your questions, which apparently am doing on the air.
Speaker 1: All right, so yesterday scientists were doing the whole We're
Speaker 1: super excited. Look at the science thing we did. We
Speaker 1: we we brought dire wolves back, all right, So let's
Speaker 1: talk wolves for a moment. How many of you have
Speaker 1: ever seen a wolf in person, by the way, and
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care if it's at a zoo
Speaker 1: or you know, some nature park or whatever. The one
Speaker 1: thing that I think most people don't realize about wolves,
Speaker 1: not dire wolves. We'll get to those in a moment.
Speaker 1: Just regular wolves is how big they are. And that
Speaker 1: and I don't necessarily mean the red wolf thing down
Speaker 1: by the coast. I mean like legit wolves, gray wolves
Speaker 1: in the northern and western United States and in Alaska,
Speaker 1: it's out of hand. They're much bigger. But if you've
Speaker 1: never been around a wolf. It's the size of them
Speaker 1: is intimidating. And if you've seen a coyote and you
Speaker 1: think that a wolf kind of looks like that, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It's easily discernible between the two different things. They're they're
Speaker 1: terrifyingly larger. Wolves always weirded me out growing up more
Speaker 1: than bears, because black bears were easy to deal with.
Speaker 1: Bears or grizzlies depending on I guess you know where
Speaker 1: you are from a latitude standpoint or a longitude standpoint,
Speaker 1: that's a different animal altogether. But you almost never see
Speaker 1: them wolves. The first time I remember seeing a wolf
Speaker 1: in person, I was like twenty yards from this thing,
Speaker 1: and there was always you know, Wyoming didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of them, but then they repopulated Yellowstone, and then
Speaker 1: they spread out, and then they repopulated actually some other
Speaker 1: areas of Wyoming which didn't get depressed. Seeing a wolf
Speaker 1: in person is it's really impressive. Also, you don't want
Speaker 1: to be really I was too close to one, so
Speaker 1: it was it was kind of a weird situation. And
Speaker 1: I remember growing up where I would like I would
Speaker 1: ride through on like a horse through like snow, and
Speaker 1: then we'd come back, and you'd see your tracks, and
Speaker 1: then there'd be a bunch of wolf tracks cutting it
Speaker 1: where they had clearly meld us or trying to see
Speaker 1: what was going on, and you never see them, but
Speaker 1: seeing one in person is pretty crazy. A dire wolf,
Speaker 1: as as they are described historically makes those things look
Speaker 1: like a chihuahua, and you've seen them represented in media
Speaker 1: and movies and all of that, but having an actual
Speaker 1: dire wolf, which is remarkably larger than a wolf, which
Speaker 1: is remarkably larger than you probably think it is, is
Speaker 1: a pretty terrifying concept. So what does science do. They're like,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and bring these back, although they kind
Speaker 1: of didn't. They just kind of used I think twenty
Speaker 1: splice points on DNA to birth these new wolves and
Speaker 1: I and then they're calling them dire wolves, but they're not. Okay.
Speaker 1: That being said, they had some pupps. They were all
Speaker 1: over the news yesterday and by the way, here's what
Speaker 1: they sound like. And again, you're dealing with pups. You're
Speaker 1: dealing with things that you would cuddle, but you know,
Speaker 1: six months from now, we'll try to eat your throat.
Speaker 1: All right, So they're like, oh, it's so terrifying. We
Speaker 1: made the dire wolves, and here's what they sound like.
Speaker 1: Nobody's scared of that, all right, hush. Anyway, they're just
Speaker 1: little pups, and you know, they're just whining because that's
Speaker 1: what little pups or kittens or whatever do. And they're
Speaker 1: clearly not going to grow to the size of an
Speaker 1: actual dire wolf. In fact, uh, I just accidentally closed
Speaker 1: the wrong tab here, all right, hold on, sorry, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: sorry close the wrong tab. All right. So a dire wolf,
Speaker 1: an actual what are extinct and these don't count, are
Speaker 1: remarkably large two hundred pounds, which I know doesn't sound
Speaker 1: as big, but you have to remember wolves are kind
Speaker 1: of lean, so to be two hundred pounds and lean.
Speaker 1: Think about somebody who is two hundred pounds but has
Speaker 1: like five percent body fat. That's a big person. That's
Speaker 1: what a dire wolf is. These are not those now,
Speaker 1: you know, like a gray wolf maybe one hundred pounds,
Speaker 1: but still it's one hundred pounds that looks very intimidating,
Speaker 1: whereas like a coyotes like forty pounds, fifty maybe sixty,
Speaker 1: and they're like, ah, we brought these back to life.
Speaker 1: So this is the first of this company, who is
Speaker 1: also excuse me, is also claiming, yeah, here we go,
Speaker 1: is also claiming that they're going to be able to
Speaker 1: bring back a wooly man, but they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: like parrot with something. I don't know what that looks like.
Speaker 1: Are we cool with this? Do we need to bring
Speaker 1: these things back? I guess Game of Thrones would be
Speaker 1: a good representation of dire wolves. And by the way,
Speaker 1: those were not inaccurate. And because when you look at
Speaker 1: shoulder height of what a dire wolf is, it's like
Speaker 1: forty inches.
Speaker 4: I remember when I realized how off I was about
Speaker 4: the size of wolves. I saw the video that was
Speaker 4: going around social media or they showed a moose walking
Speaker 4: down inside the road, and I said, I've said this
Speaker 4: before previously in the show. Being a city kid born
Speaker 4: and raised in the city up in New York, so
Speaker 4: I always assumed that most animals were basically the size
Speaker 4: of a cow. So when I would think of a moose,
Speaker 4: I'd be like a cow, a bear, I'm thinking it's
Speaker 4: sort of like a cow. Everything goes back to a cow.
Speaker 4: Being a city kid, it's never been seeing any of.
Speaker 1: These animals, but have a reference point that's fair.
Speaker 4: So seeing that moose, I was like, there's no way
Speaker 4: that's the actual side size of a moose. My other
Speaker 4: experience seeing these animals wasn't like Red Dead Redemption too,
Speaker 4: And I'm like, that's definitely not the size of a
Speaker 4: moose in the game. So which one is real here?
Speaker 4: So I google it and I see a comparison comparative
Speaker 4: image of like a guy standing next to the moose,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, that's enormous. No idea was that big?
Speaker 4: That looks like a prehistoric animal, something you would see
Speaker 4: in like Jurassic Park. Then from there I showed.
Speaker 1: You have I showed you my picture by wolf harvest
Speaker 1: or my wolf, my loose? What I the moose? I shot?
Speaker 4: No, I don't think you have all right, I.
Speaker 1: Gotta show you that photo. I am laying across the
Speaker 1: body of that thing enormous longer than me. Yeah I'm
Speaker 1: six foot tall.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this thing was towering over cars, and I was
Speaker 4: completely shocked, being a kid from the city, had no idea,
Speaker 4: never actually seen a moose. So then from there do
Speaker 4: other animal searches because that's how my brain works. And
Speaker 4: I did a wolf and I realized at that point.
Speaker 4: Seeing this wolf side by side with a person, it
Speaker 4: looked like a monster. This thing was a prehistoric, which
Speaker 4: what you would imagine like a dire wolf prehistoric. I'm like,
Speaker 4: that's a wolf. That's how big this wolf is. I'm like,
Speaker 4: that can't be real. This is photoshopped, right, it is not.
Speaker 4: And that's when I realized how often I was about
Speaker 4: coyotes and wolves, because I used to be one of
Speaker 4: those people where it'd be like, oh, that's a coyote
Speaker 4: or that's the one, but there's such a difference between
Speaker 4: the two, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you there. I used to hear people go, oh,
Speaker 1: I just pretend it's coyote and shoot it. This is
Speaker 1: a rancher mentality, right, because they go in and they
Speaker 1: harvest on your livestock. The first time I saw a wolf,
Speaker 1: I'm like, that is clearly not a coyote, Like there's
Speaker 1: no way to screw those things even a distance. But
Speaker 1: from a moose perspective, I obviously by the time I
Speaker 1: got to the moose that I harvested that I killed,
Speaker 1: you know, the things on the ground when it was standing,
Speaker 1: we did a measurement. It was literally taller than me
Speaker 1: at the shoulders. Thought this. This is not even the
Speaker 1: head and and the you know, the paddles. This is
Speaker 1: literally at the shoulders. So if you don't like you're
Speaker 1: underestimating how big a moose is most likely. And that
Speaker 1: was a that wasn't even a fully mature bull.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean so much so that I really thought
Speaker 4: the photo in the video at first, I'm like, that's
Speaker 4: a CGI video and this is like an AI photo
Speaker 4: or something. It's not real.
Speaker 1: No, no, But now we have dire wolves I think.
Speaker 4: I think the other thing I saw was maybe it
Speaker 4: was one of the Bourne movies, the one with Jeremy
Speaker 4: Renner where he's in the woods and he gets surrounded
Speaker 4: by wolves, and I remember thinking, there's no way a
Speaker 4: wolf is that big, because it was like towering over him.
Speaker 4: When it was on top of him, it was just
Speaker 4: covering him.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, again, a full sized gray
Speaker 1: wolf is not It's not that they're super heavy, they're
Speaker 1: very lean, so the body is much bigger. I is
Speaker 1: the only way I can describe it. So, and we
Speaker 1: shot when I was up in Alaska, we shot some wolves.
Speaker 1: There was only one that was really big, but for
Speaker 1: the most every single one was clearly larger than a coyote.
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about.
Speaker 1: I think we harvested five, five or six we were up there.
Speaker 4: The way you're describing it, I'm imagining it in like
Speaker 4: wrestling terms because that's what I do. So it's like
Speaker 4: two hundred pounds but short and lean. So it's like
Speaker 4: Shawn Michaels as a wolf. That's a ginormous wolf. That's terrifying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's the dire wolves. Gray wolves are not
Speaker 1: quite that big, but pretty quod. Some of the Russian
Speaker 1: ones are pretty big. Over in Russia they have bigger
Speaker 1: wolves and bigger moose, so we have in the in
Speaker 1: the US we have what are known as Shires from
Speaker 1: a moose perspective, but you get up to Canada they
Speaker 1: start getting super big, even much bigger than it took.
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. So I shot that moose
Speaker 1: and I had to go get like two of my buddies,
Speaker 1: and we were about a half mile back in. We
Speaker 1: couldn't a TV. We could bring a horse, which we did,
Speaker 1: but it took like a whole day to chop this
Speaker 1: thing up and we had to make four trips to
Speaker 1: haul it out, which, by the way, moose is delicious
Speaker 1: for those of you who hunt who have not harvested
Speaker 1: a moose literally one of my favorite. It's not gamy.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe it. It's just good,
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate for them because now I'd be like
Speaker 1: if I could now in Wyoming you were limited if
Speaker 1: you got a moose tag, you couldn't get another one
Speaker 1: for ten years at the time, and now it's almost
Speaker 1: lifetime I think in some areas. But oh man, if
Speaker 1: you ever get a chance, if you're into hunting, moose,
Speaker 1: is moose is probably, other than big horn sheep, the
Speaker 1: best wild game I've ever read.
Speaker 4: I've heard moose and caribou. I've heard that caribou good
Speaker 4: I took.
Speaker 1: I have shot two caribou because you get two up
Speaker 1: in Quebec where we went. But now moose wins one hundred,
Speaker 1: so good. The problem is just you got to literally
Speaker 1: like pack a car out is what you're dealing with.
Speaker 1: But no, now we have dire wolves and they're they're
Speaker 1: promising to bring So the question is, what the hell
Speaker 1: are you going to do with them? That's mine? Like
Speaker 1: what so you make them in a lab? You're gonna
Speaker 1: make pets? Do you want to repopulate them, because you do.
Speaker 1: In Wyoming, they all be dead in like a week.
Speaker 1: All my buddies I grew up with, I promise will
Speaker 1: kill them. I know that bothers some of you, but
Speaker 1: that's a nightmare if you're raising livestock. So anyway, we'll
Speaker 1: take a break, be right back hanging the process, pulling
Speaker 1: out all the stocks. So all right, so you're are
Speaker 1: you down with the Jurassic Park stuff or not? Like,
Speaker 1: do you think they should keep recreating things that are
Speaker 1: no longer here? And where does it end? Like, couldn't
Speaker 1: you start with nice stuff, you know, like one of
Speaker 1: those things that just eats like plants. Wouldn't that be
Speaker 1: the direction to go? But they're like, no, we're going
Speaker 1: to make a dire wolf.
Speaker 4: All right, So you want to a plant that just
Speaker 4: eats You just want to keep feeding that plant that eats.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, something that eats plants, not a
Speaker 1: dire wolf and not Maybe the wooly mammoth is fine,
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably still stomp you to death. But
Speaker 1: you know, sabertoothed tiger is one of the things they're
Speaker 1: working on. You don't need that.
Speaker 4: You said, it's not going to grow as big as
Speaker 4: an actual dire wolf. How do we know that?
Speaker 1: Because it is a traditional wolf, they've replaced like twenty
Speaker 1: genetic markers. And one of the things they said there
Speaker 1: is it probably won't grow to size. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not a scientist. But still if it grows to
Speaker 1: regular wolf, I don't know, that's still not good. Again,
Speaker 1: and I made a point of this. Whatever you think
Speaker 1: a wolf is, it's bigger, okay. And it's bigger because
Speaker 1: even when you hear in the case of dire wolf,
Speaker 1: you hear two hundred pounds, but if you hear one
Speaker 1: hundred pounds for a gray wolf, don't think think of
Speaker 1: a hundred pound like girl. Okay, probably not a dude,
Speaker 1: but they think of some hundred pound little four foot
Speaker 1: eleven you know, check who's whatever. They're so much less
Speaker 1: compact than that. So weighing one hundred pounds, the frame
Speaker 1: and the body size is bigger. And I had somebody
Speaker 1: send me an email and this is partly correct. It's
Speaker 1: due to the excess of lung capacity. Yes, right, so
Speaker 1: you have a big barrel on these things, but there's
Speaker 1: not as much weight there. That's true. But also they're
Speaker 1: so lean on the legs, like there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of and and and obviously they're incredibly fast and they
Speaker 1: you know, they travel these these these distances. But like
Speaker 1: people don't know how big critters are until you've like
Speaker 1: we encounter obviously deer, coyote, you know, stuff like that
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. But just growing up with just growing
Speaker 1: up with animals, man, just growing up with wild animals
Speaker 1: that you'd encounter. Like, you don't get that moose that
Speaker 1: I shot. I don't know. I couldn't weigh the whole
Speaker 1: thing because I quartered it out before I pulled it out,
Speaker 1: But best guess eight hundred pounds and Shire's moose are
Speaker 1: one of the smallest breeds of moose. You get into
Speaker 1: the Canadian and you know the stuff you see up
Speaker 1: in Alaska and Canada, and of course what they have
Speaker 1: over in a couple of Maine has bigger moose. I
Speaker 1: can't remember what the breed is.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's crazy when you consider Andre the giant
Speaker 4: was like seven hundred plus pounds.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that moose, which looks you know, moose looks thin,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. The body looks thin. The
Speaker 1: thing is still eight hundred pounds to one thousand pounds
Speaker 1: for a mature bull Shire's moose, which is the small breed,
Speaker 1: and uh and it was every bit of that hauling
Speaker 1: it out. So like, are there not nice things? This
Speaker 1: is this is my point. I'm sitting there and I'm
Speaker 1: reading this story, and I'm like, aren't there like fun
Speaker 1: things that are extinct? Now? Like, can we work on
Speaker 1: some dodos? Maybe not things that'll eat your kid?
Speaker 4: Yeah, are a nice cute like prehistoric bunny or something.
Speaker 4: It's like a fluffy body.
Speaker 1: But also whenever they come, but like how many stories
Speaker 1: have you read they're like, oh, we found like the
Speaker 1: world's first rabbit, right and you look at it and
Speaker 1: it looks like a t rex essentially, like everything was
Speaker 1: essentially a murder vehicle back in the day. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe there's not enough to choose from, but
Speaker 1: like dodos would be okay, you could do dodos. Maybe
Speaker 1: you don't need carrier pigeons or whatever you know from
Speaker 1: back in the day. But why why you gotta go
Speaker 1: full teeth? I don't know if that's gonna work out.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with them? Are they gonna
Speaker 1: be like, let me tell you. I I know somebody
Speaker 1: in Minnesota who who was I don't know the full
Speaker 1: licensing how it all worked, but essentially he was. He
Speaker 1: partially did rescue recovery for injured wolves and on molt
Speaker 1: on two different occasions, they flipped out, got out so
Speaker 1: bad that he had to literally put him down and
Speaker 1: like he but I remember going over to his place.
Speaker 1: His name is Bill Slaughter. I'll tell you who it is,
Speaker 1: because he runs sled dogs and stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: he had this deal with the game and fish folks
Speaker 1: there where he actually ran a recovery for him and
Speaker 1: at some point they're just like now, unfortunately it's not
Speaker 1: going to work out, and like how mean these things
Speaker 1: were and they're wild animals, Like I don't blame them,
Speaker 1: they're wild animals, but they're terrifying in person. Now, the
Speaker 1: scariest animal that I ever encountered in the wild, not
Speaker 1: even a grizzly bear, and I've been there multiple times
Speaker 1: where I've come across grizzly bears a mountain lion, because
Speaker 1: you would never see a mountain lion. So but one
Speaker 1: of the times that I did, I saw this and
Speaker 1: it was a female and I had a tag by
Speaker 1: the way, so I could have shot this one if
Speaker 1: I wanted to. So she comes out of the trees
Speaker 1: and I'm like, and this is daylight, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's a mountain lowe. What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1: And I am walking this ridge line essentially down to
Speaker 1: check fence, so I don't know mile or whatever. I'm
Speaker 1: actually walking down the hill in our cabins at the bottom,
Speaker 1: and I see her and I'm like, oh, well, that
Speaker 1: was cool. Don't see a mountain lion every day. And
Speaker 1: then like ten minutes later, I see her in a
Speaker 1: closer group of trees kind of emerge from there and
Speaker 1: scoot over to the next ones close. This mountain line
Speaker 1: stalked me. It stalked me for I don't like an hour,
Speaker 1: and eventually ended up maybe like seventy five yards away.
Speaker 1: And I have just to be clear, I have a
Speaker 1: pistol on me, because I am at any point i'm
Speaker 1: in that situation, I have a significant enough pistol to
Speaker 1: dispatch a grizzly bear. I'm not even thinking about mountain lions.
Speaker 1: And that unnerved me more than any critter I've ever
Speaker 1: seen out in the wild. And they're even smaller than
Speaker 1: the wolves. Man, But you just you realize how aggressive
Speaker 1: one of those things can get. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: to the phones. Jake, you're up first, Go right ahead.
Speaker 7: How's it going, fellas going? Uh? Yeah. When I was
Speaker 7: at m C State in the seventies, but my older
Speaker 7: brother was at n C State in the sixties, and
Speaker 7: they wanted a mascot that wasn't a German shepherd. They
Speaker 7: wanted a wolf for the football games, all right, So
Speaker 7: they bought a young wolf and uh as the as
Speaker 7: the wolf got older, somebody, I guess from the Animal
Speaker 7: science department said, this is not a wolf. This is
Speaker 7: like a coyote. You have bought a coyote, guys. And
Speaker 7: so they said, what we wanted a wolf, that we got.
Speaker 7: We we got the mace pill pull a switch on us.
Speaker 7: And so they said, what he's here, he's going to
Speaker 7: be our mascot. So they named him the Lobo, the
Speaker 7: Lobo to coyote, who was our mascot for quite a while,
Speaker 7: and he would appear in like the Technician at certain
Speaker 7: they had a comic strip back then. I'd get my
Speaker 7: brother's technicians and they would show the adventures of wonder
Speaker 7: Worm and Lobo, and I think they actually brought him
Speaker 7: to a few games and like, no, this just isn't
Speaker 7: gonna work. But I think he just eventually died of
Speaker 7: all days there on campus somewhere.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean so so like so it was a coyote.
Speaker 1: It was not a wolf.
Speaker 7: It was a coyote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys got to get a wolf man.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean it's just a lot. You were to
Speaker 7: get some dog that looks like a wolf and you know,
Speaker 7: the maintenance on, it's not a day.
Speaker 1: You can't do that. You need a full on wolf man,
Speaker 1: Like you gonna go a Mexican wolf if you're gonna
Speaker 1: eaven Lobo which Spanish.
Speaker 7: Well he uh, he would appear like a like whoever
Speaker 7: football team were playing in years ago, playing Houston number one,
Speaker 7: right team in the country. That's a long time ago,
Speaker 7: fellas and uh and Lobo, you know, cheering us on.
Speaker 7: And we actually won the game down in Nashville.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what I mentioned yesterday, there are a
Speaker 1: SEC teams that can beat Houston. Who to thunk it?
Speaker 1: So all right, I gotta like, yeah, alright, I irritated
Speaker 1: some Duke fans, by the way. So when Houston won,
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of you us saw this video.
Speaker 1: So Houston won obviously against Duke, and uh they're doing that,
Speaker 1: you know, they're celebrating on the court the keem Elijah
Speaker 1: Wan's there, all right, that's kind of a you know,
Speaker 1: a little connection there obviously, and like some stupid security
Speaker 1: guy wouldn't let him out on the court even though
Speaker 1: he's sitting like front row and he wants to go
Speaker 1: celebrate with Houston because you know that was his team,
Speaker 1: and there's some like fat security dude just like I
Speaker 1: don't know who you are, And I'm like, how do
Speaker 1: you not know who that is? Or at the very least,
Speaker 1: even if you don't know that that is in fact,
Speaker 1: Elijah Wan, you have to go This dude clearly played
Speaker 1: basketball right because the size differential on the guys, and
Speaker 1: he wouldn't let him out on the court. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw that video. All Right, we'll
Speaker 1: get to more calls. Hang on, Joe Anne Lee and everybody.
Speaker 1: Oh Boston Paul's calling O, good lord, what does he want?
Speaker 1: All right, let's get uh get weather first and then
Speaker 1: we'll get over that insanity. What's going on? Man? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: not much, not much. Look at you and your shiny
Speaker 1: new quarterback. Oh who's that? What are you talking about? Well?
Speaker 1: The Cowboys? Yeah, the Cowboys traded for the Patriots backup quarterback.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not impressed.
Speaker 1: What's he going to be? The next? Uh, the next
Speaker 1: shining star. I don't need the answer. I thought you'd
Speaker 1: be happy. I don't know, not happy at all. Trying
Speaker 1: to be nice today. If you want me to scry, Oh,
Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate it. Da, that's no fun. What
Speaker 1: fun is being nice?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Yeah, we'll try. I'm just glad you
Speaker 1: guys made a move because you haven't done No, we
Speaker 1: have it, looking forward to another below five hundred season.
Speaker 1: Can't wait, right? So let me can I ask you
Speaker 1: a question whetherwise you know there's there's obviously what's going
Speaker 1: on Kentucky and Tennessee with the flooding is wild and yeah,
Speaker 1: and then there's a story where somebody accidentally opened a
Speaker 1: damn which I don't know how to work in Tennessee,
Speaker 1: which is probably but like uh legit, like number of
Speaker 1: deaths now from what's going on over there? Yeah, why
Speaker 1: are we not getting a piece of that? Not that
Speaker 1: I wanted, but it's just kind of No, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: We're not talking about North Carolina in that mix.
Speaker 6: No, our saving grace was the high pressure off to
Speaker 6: the east. It was a real strong high and we're
Speaker 6: just close enough to it that it fought off and
Speaker 6: believe it or not, weakened that front and the rain
Speaker 6: as an approach. Now, I'm not going to say we
Speaker 6: didn't get some decent rain totals. Some of the twenty
Speaker 6: four hour totals about one two even up to three inches.
Speaker 6: Uh Kernersville near the Triad three point five three at
Speaker 6: one point three four and one of the rain gages
Speaker 6: at one of the fire stations in Raleigh. So it
Speaker 6: was about an inch in and around Raleigh to two
Speaker 6: inches down near Fayetteville four Oaks one point five and
Speaker 6: then off to the west there was a little bit more,
Speaker 6: but it wasn't double digits like we've seen where we
Speaker 6: saw those significant flooding in Kentucky twelve and on into Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, inch is twenty one people dead. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that number is probably more. This is from.
Speaker 6: Yesterday, but yeah, and yeah, so you know, it was
Speaker 6: more high pressure that stayed strong enough to keep us shielded.
Speaker 6: From the heavy rain and then just a quicker movement
Speaker 6: of the rainfall that kind of saved us there, and
Speaker 6: now back behind everything the colder airs in. There's freeze
Speaker 6: warnings for tomorrow morning. This morning it's cold, but it'll
Speaker 6: be colder tomorrow morning. As temperatures this morning are quite varied,
Speaker 6: from the mid forties to even fifty degrees right now
Speaker 6: at the airport and Raleigh to forty degrees to try it,
Speaker 6: so there's kind of a ten degree temperature difference, and
Speaker 6: then there's even thirties out in the mountains, so this
Speaker 6: morning's kind of changeable, depends on where you are. And
Speaker 6: then sunny met upper fifties. Later tonight we're in the
Speaker 6: upper twenties to low thirties. Thus the freeze watch will
Speaker 6: be freeze warnings too in some areas, so cold night
Speaker 6: tonight early Wednesday, than sun maybe sixty tomorrow, most of
Speaker 6: us again in the mid upper fifties. We're back closer
Speaker 6: to forty Thursday morning, maybe some showers Thursday afternoon near seventy,
Speaker 6: and a better chance of showers Thursday night Friday, before
Speaker 6: the weekend and the weekend. We talked about it yesterday
Speaker 6: Casey looks gorgeous right now in the mid sixties with
Speaker 6: loads in the forties.
Speaker 1: Well, you did very well. So I mean, no, thank
Speaker 1: you God. Several days, don't jack it up. But right, yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I was reading about all the flooding in Tennessee, Arkansas.
Speaker 1: There's about four states Missouri, yeah, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: how did North Carolina escape? I'm glad we did, but
Speaker 1: like I didn't realize twenty one people been killed by
Speaker 1: that already. Yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 6: A couple of those were I think wind and tornado
Speaker 6: related to but most of them, a lot of them
Speaker 6: are from flooding.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, No, there's three like trees falling, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. But yeah, it's pretty pretty nasty. It's crazy, right,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll talk the next hour, thank you. Yep.
Speaker 1: All right, we got a whole host of phone calls,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna get right into that when we return
Speaker 1: here on the CaCO Day Radio program. So the thing
Speaker 1: that I was telling Ross is we had about fifty
Speaker 1: hunters per year that would come out and hunt the property.
Speaker 1: We went like we'd go and we'd sell elk antelope,
Speaker 1: mule deer, or you could shoot whatever. You could shoot
Speaker 1: a white tail if you want it, but and then
Speaker 1: bear and mountain lion. And it constantly amazed me that
Speaker 1: people would do no research at the size of the animals.
Speaker 1: Like I had a dude show up gun. Guys will
Speaker 1: get this. A prong horn antelope is remarkably smaller than
Speaker 1: a deer, like a full Like a full grown prong
Speaker 1: horn you could pick up and easily carry. Okay. I
Speaker 1: had a dude show up with a saiko of a
Speaker 1: you know, we're getting into the four hundred series of firearms.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing, dude? And we had
Speaker 1: to like loan him a thirty out six so he
Speaker 1: didn't turn his game to mist But yeah, people, they
Speaker 1: have no clue how big or small these things are.
Speaker 1: All right, let me grab a couple more calls. We
Speaker 1: get more in the next segment too, just because we're
Speaker 1: tight on time. Yes, Lee, what's up?
Speaker 2: Hey man, It's Lee from Yaki County again this morning.
Speaker 2: I just want to hope you guys are doing well.
Speaker 2: And I got a funny story about the size of
Speaker 2: a wolf. My uncle's hunting in Alaska in the late
Speaker 2: nineties and killed a wolf, a big wolf, and when
Speaker 2: Matt Sucker came home. I was at my uncle's house
Speaker 2: when they brought the mount in, and they had one
Speaker 2: hundred and gust was like one hundred and twenty one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty pounds old golden retriever and he was big.
Speaker 2: Gus tore up the floors. He was running so fast
Speaker 2: out of that room when they brought that wolf. Mountain
Speaker 2: wolves are massive. People have no idea how big these
Speaker 2: things actually are. And they are huge. They are scary looking,
Speaker 2: their teeth and their paws are just massive. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: are huge animals.
Speaker 1: Somehow we've got on this extinct animal kick. So it's
Speaker 1: because scientists have and I don't like the way that
Speaker 1: they word it, but the return of the dire wolf
Speaker 1: have for the first time produced young pups that are
Speaker 1: quote unquote dire wolves, except they're not really. They are
Speaker 1: genetically altered wolves. Sure for sure. Yeah, So like they
Speaker 1: have these genetically altered wolves and then they went ahead
Speaker 1: and like did some gene sequencing. That's what this is.
Speaker 1: But that's fine. We got into this big discussion, all right.
Speaker 1: Oh man, well okay, all right, well for sure do that.
Speaker 1: Let me Ross, would you break the news to the
Speaker 1: callers there. We're gonna go ahead and this was not
Speaker 1: on the schedule, but obviously there's enough going on in Washington.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and do this. Senator Ted Budd's
Speaker 1: calling in and maybe he has an opinion on diar wolves.
Speaker 1: How you doing this morning, Senator, what's up?
Speaker 3: Bang doing great?
Speaker 10: No opinion on the wolves, just looking at those those
Speaker 10: cute pictures, but man, they're gonna grow up, and I'd
Speaker 10: hate to keep those around his pets.
Speaker 1: People don't realize how big wolves are, let alone dire wolves.
Speaker 1: So maybe, maybe, just maybe you could like shove them
Speaker 1: in like one of your colleague's offices just to keep
Speaker 1: thinking interesting. I don't know, because I don't know what
Speaker 1: you do with these things. But yeah, so yeah, what
Speaker 1: was do yesterday? Was the craziest day up in Washington, man,
Speaker 1: And that's saying something. And what like really did it
Speaker 1: for me is watching Trump do that thing with the
Speaker 1: Dodgers yesterday where he's just like, it's just another day.
Speaker 1: He made fun of your colleagues from California. Obviously, Adam
Speaker 1: Schiff Donald Trump not fans of each other, and like
Speaker 1: he was so nonchalant in the middle of what was
Speaker 1: absolute potential insanity that it was very wild to me.
Speaker 1: So let's just talk about that for a moment, because
Speaker 1: I see that some of your colleagues, including our other senator,
Speaker 1: are sitting here and wanting to essentially limit tariff powers
Speaker 1: to the president. Like, what are you guys doing in
Speaker 1: the background while all of this is unfolding? And then
Speaker 1: it turned out to kind of be a nothing burger,
Speaker 1: So talk about the day that was your day yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you're kind of inside.
Speaker 3: The middle of the whirlwind when you're here and.
Speaker 10: Then you come back home, Like if I even have
Speaker 10: like one night to be back home in North Carolina,
Speaker 10: in good old Davy County, I'm going home, spend a
Speaker 10: night there, reset for reality, and come back. But as
Speaker 10: wild up here, what you see as a president Trump,
Speaker 10: he's not worried about re election. He's worried about Americans.
Speaker 10: He's worrying about securing the border.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a guy that in his first
Speaker 5: term he.
Speaker 3: Had the whiteboard, he wrote out what he.
Speaker 10: Had promised, and he went through making good on those promises.
Speaker 10: Now he's doing it even faster. He's got a better team.
Speaker 10: Tariffs are about negotiating everything that he wished he had done.
Speaker 5: Like, I'm probably not a huge fan of tariffs, but
Speaker 5: I see what he's doing.
Speaker 10: He's for the American worker, he's for the economy, he's
Speaker 10: for America not being taken advantage of. And I think
Speaker 10: you need to give him a chance on this because
Speaker 10: I play he's right, and this is about resetting the
Speaker 10: table where the.
Speaker 3: American worker and the American.
Speaker 10: Family is king again, and that's what our country was
Speaker 10: built on.
Speaker 1: Do you like the way he's going about it, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, because this is this isn't just ripping the
Speaker 1: band aid off, man, this is like, this is like
Speaker 1: tup your cast on, Like this is look if you're going.
Speaker 5: To do it, Like I talked to economists all the time.
Speaker 10: They're like, hey, we wish we had just kind of
Speaker 10: slowly ratcheted this up or rolled it out differently, Like okay, great,
Speaker 10: but you're not president. I'm not president. He's president, and.
Speaker 5: He understands the politics and he understands.
Speaker 10: The economics, and you've got to do both in his job,
Speaker 10: So ripping the band aid off, getting it done, like,
Speaker 10: don't retire if you're looking at your four oh one
Speaker 10: K a month ago, don't retire.
Speaker 5: Today, give it a little chance.
Speaker 10: This is about it's about revenues. This is about resetting
Speaker 10: the table. Scott Besson, Secretary of Treasury, has said, seventy countries,
Speaker 10: there's only what two hundred countries, seventy seventy of them
Speaker 10: in a week have already called.
Speaker 5: And said, hey, let's play, let's make a deal.
Speaker 11: And so I think that's great.
Speaker 10: The deals are going to work out to be, I
Speaker 10: don't know, but they're calling. And that's exactly what the
Speaker 10: goal is. It's not to have the tariffs, it's to
Speaker 10: get them to the table so that we can have
Speaker 10: a better deal for Americans and American workers.
Speaker 1: So here's the only disconnect that I see. And Vietnam
Speaker 1: is a good example. Vietnam is one of the first
Speaker 1: countries to be like, yeah, we'll go zero for zero
Speaker 1: with you, and the response from the White House was
Speaker 1: that's not good enough. And like, the trade in balance
Speaker 1: for countries like Vietnam will always exist only because they don't.
Speaker 1: They just don't have the money to buy as much
Speaker 1: of our stuff as we do their stuff, and they
Speaker 1: are major manufacturers for a lot of things that come
Speaker 1: into the US. And like, I get this there's like
Speaker 1: this weird I don't want to say disconnect, Like I
Speaker 1: don't understand the strategy thinking that you're going to eliminate
Speaker 1: a trade imbalance with a country like Vietnam. Do you
Speaker 1: get what I'm driving at, because like they just don't
Speaker 1: have the money to buy as much as we're going
Speaker 1: to buy from them, And like, what is your understanding
Speaker 1: of what the White House is looking for for countries
Speaker 1: like that who are clearly coming to the table. They
Speaker 1: want to be able to send stuff to the US,
Speaker 1: but their economy will never allow them to buy at
Speaker 1: the same rate, So there will always be a trade imbalance,
Speaker 1: even if there's not terraces.
Speaker 10: Well tomorrow it will have been exactly one week. So
Speaker 10: these deals aren't settled. I mean, when you have great
Speaker 10: trade partners and you have a lot there's a lot
Speaker 10: of issues with Chinese companies investing in Vietnam so that
Speaker 10: they can transship around Chinese teriffs.
Speaker 3: That's been going on for a while.
Speaker 11: It's been hurting our.
Speaker 5: Furniture industries, our textile industries.
Speaker 10: If we say, hey, we're stopping this for coming from China,
Speaker 10: well then they just ship it to Vietnam and then
Speaker 10: they ship it out. So there's a lot of complexity
Speaker 10: that we're not going to iron out in a week.
Speaker 11: So that's why I say, let's give it a little.
Speaker 5: Bit of time. Let's see what the White House.
Speaker 3: Is trying to accomplish for America.
Speaker 5: And again, we want a stronger America, we want a.
Speaker 10: Stronger economy, we want more in the pockets of the
Speaker 10: American people and American families.
Speaker 5: Fuel prices have come down.
Speaker 10: I think commodity prices are going to come down for
Speaker 10: and it's going to make life better for Americans.
Speaker 5: But let's let this iron out, and let's give it.
Speaker 11: With what do we eat six days in Let's give.
Speaker 10: It a little more time for them to iron out
Speaker 10: these differences. Companies like Vietnam they want to deal with us,
Speaker 10: but there's a lot.
Speaker 5: Of complexity in there, so let's give it a little.
Speaker 3: More than a week.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and and I want to be clear.
Speaker 1: I understand too, because people are going well. He needs
Speaker 1: to be more direct and be very specific on you know,
Speaker 1: the steps. But that's not how you negotiate like Trump's
Speaker 1: whole thing is. And you saw this with Putin not
Speaker 1: trying to go into Ukraine during the first administration. You
Speaker 1: want people going, I don't know what that guy's going
Speaker 1: to do. Who the hell knows, right, And that's like
Speaker 1: seemingly Trump's thing man, whether it's business negotiations, tariffs, or
Speaker 1: screwing with Iran, like it's it's baked into the cake,
Speaker 1: and it's it's arguably probably effective.
Speaker 3: Would you agree with that one percent?
Speaker 10: I mean, you don't want to tip your hand. And
Speaker 10: I think he's always strong. He'll cut a deal, he'll
Speaker 10: get to a deal, but it's a little wild and
Speaker 10: unpredictable in the midst of the negotiation. And I think
Speaker 10: that plays in America's favor.
Speaker 5: It did last time.
Speaker 10: And you remember in April of twenty seventeen how.
Speaker 3: Worried we were about North.
Speaker 10: Korea, and then all of a sudden they end up
Speaker 10: meeting in Vietnam.
Speaker 3: I think maybe it was Thailand, but where they end
Speaker 3: up meeting.
Speaker 10: So I think this is headed to a good place
Speaker 10: because Trump is strong. These leaders want to curry favor
Speaker 10: with America, especially with Trump in office.
Speaker 5: And I think he's doing it right. But you may
Speaker 5: not likely what you see.
Speaker 3: At any particular moment. You may not like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: looking with the markets to today.
Speaker 5: It's not about just today.
Speaker 10: It's about the long term and midterm benefit for the
Speaker 10: American worker, and we're going to get there.
Speaker 3: Just give him a little bit of time.
Speaker 1: What is your vision for that, because yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: you've tried obviously when you're running for Senate. You did
Speaker 1: the one hundred county thing like everybody does.
Speaker 5: We're doing it again.
Speaker 3: I'm doing it again.
Speaker 1: So you got But when you go to one hundred counties,
Speaker 1: you're going to encounter one hundred different medium to small
Speaker 1: sized towns that have been absolutely devastated with the loss
Speaker 1: of you know whatever. Look at the city of Eden,
Speaker 1: which is technically where our licenses for ninety four five are,
Speaker 1: Greensboro Station. You go to city of Sparta, you go
Speaker 1: to Tarboro, You go to all these places that are
Speaker 1: not what they.
Speaker 3: Used to be.
Speaker 1: So are you hopeful that with the seven trillion in
Speaker 1: investment that Trump was bragging about yesterday, that those communities
Speaker 1: might see some of that investment?
Speaker 11: What are you thinking, Oh, we're already saying it.
Speaker 10: You know, I'm meeting with the country of Japan today
Speaker 10: that wants to invest.
Speaker 5: It's already invested.
Speaker 10: Over thirteen billion dollars in North Carolina, and that is
Speaker 10: not in the middle of downtown Charlotte or downtown Raleigh.
Speaker 10: I mean there's benefits, you know, a law firm here
Speaker 10: and there, and a bank here and.
Speaker 5: There, but your workers are right there.
Speaker 10: In these these megasites that some of them.
Speaker 3: Are being developed. We've got more capacity in North Carolina.
Speaker 5: I think what.
Speaker 10: Trust's doing, I mean standing up for the long term
Speaker 10: future of American workers, American families, and it's about good
Speaker 10: paying jobs and higher wages. Look, I'm from Davy County.
Speaker 10: There was furniture there, there was textiles there, a lot
Speaker 10: of you got Ashley furniture there, which is based in
Speaker 10: what used to be tobacco warehouses for R. J.
Speaker 3: Reynolds.
Speaker 5: You know, I kind of grew up in.
Speaker 10: The shadow of that being the one industry, and then
Speaker 10: there was other furniture household names that if if you
Speaker 10: look under your grandma's couch or your furniture, you might
Speaker 10: still see.
Speaker 11: But those a lot of these are coming back.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: It's not going to be the same as.
Speaker 10: The pre nineteen ninety two, but we're going to see
Speaker 10: a lot of these industries coming back.
Speaker 5: And we're seeing it in bits and pieces.
Speaker 10: But I think it was devastating in nineties under NAFTA
Speaker 10: one point zero, a little bit better in twenty nineteen
Speaker 10: with NAFA.
Speaker 1: Two point oh.
Speaker 5: But I think it's going to be even stronger now
Speaker 5: with what President Trump is doing.
Speaker 3: And remember these.
Speaker 10: Derifs are for negotiation that you don't leave these fixed.
Speaker 10: They're flexible. But this is about getting these countries off
Speaker 10: the mark and to the table.
Speaker 1: So talk to me about the Japan things. I did
Speaker 1: see the story that Japan was sending quote unquote their
Speaker 1: best negotiators. So you're in on that? What I mean,
Speaker 1: what are you guys gonna do? You're gonna go get
Speaker 1: some food and talk about this or are you at
Speaker 1: the White House? I mean, how does it? Because here's
Speaker 1: the thing, like seventy countries or whatever. I responded, they're
Speaker 1: going to need a bunch of you guys to do
Speaker 1: negotiations and they're not going to hand everything off to
Speaker 1: the Treasury secretary or staff. So what is your role
Speaker 1: in that?
Speaker 5: Well, if Japan and their countries are the companies.
Speaker 3: Want to come to the table, we want.
Speaker 10: To show North Carolina as available, welcoming. And then from
Speaker 10: a federal perspective, now, remember the governor's office, the state Senate,
Speaker 10: the state House.
Speaker 3: They need to be open and welcoming.
Speaker 10: But they also want to know that the federal legislators
Speaker 10: are supportive.
Speaker 3: And that's what we're doing.
Speaker 5: We say, look, we want your businesses here.
Speaker 10: You've got great values, you're good for American workers, you
Speaker 10: invest in them, you give them great healthcare, great training,
Speaker 10: great education. And so that's the things we say. We
Speaker 10: welcome you, thank you, and we also want to say
Speaker 10: thank you. They've already invested with the Toyota hybrid battery plan. Yeah,
Speaker 10: we're saying thank you. So those are the things that
Speaker 10: are going on. We also talk about give them an
Speaker 10: idea of tax policy from a federal perspective going forward.
Speaker 10: But this is all about making North Carolina look great.
Speaker 5: And I think it's one of the best places in
Speaker 5: the country. It's already been rated a couple of.
Speaker 10: Times by CNBC is the number one place in the
Speaker 10: country to do business. And we want to just make
Speaker 10: sure we keep up that momentum.
Speaker 1: Okay, and that's what I'm trying to call this. So
Speaker 1: you're pimp in the state. This is not the national
Speaker 1: level tariff negotiations.
Speaker 11: I just want to know I'm sure that will come
Speaker 11: up in discussion.
Speaker 3: That's going to come up in discussion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, man. So when when when you are are
Speaker 1: sitting here and you're trying to sell the state of
Speaker 1: North Carolina, whether it's to outside investment from Japan or
Speaker 1: whoever it may be, or it's part of something you
Speaker 1: guys are putting together up in up in Washington, what
Speaker 1: is the lead point? Right who? What are you showing
Speaker 1: off first? You know, you talk about it's a great
Speaker 1: place to do business. You're correct, it's it's been rated
Speaker 1: the best place or the second best place for like
Speaker 1: think like ten years. It's a pretty crazy number. What
Speaker 1: is it that draws people and is the closer when
Speaker 1: you're talking to a delegation from Japan? What is it?
Speaker 1: What do you offer that the other states don't?
Speaker 10: If I had to pick one thing, Casey, I would say,
Speaker 10: it's our people and.
Speaker 5: That's I mean, that's not just a platitude. I also
Speaker 5: say that that comes.
Speaker 10: Out through our community college system and the training. There's
Speaker 10: a lot of people that figured out that hey, a
Speaker 10: four year degree is great for some, but it's also
Speaker 10: not necessary for all. And the practical training in the
Speaker 10: stackale training that you get from a community college, I
Speaker 10: think is unmatched by our system. So I always say
Speaker 10: when the community.
Speaker 5: College is coming into my office, I say, you are one.
Speaker 10: Of the shining stars of North Carolina because you might
Speaker 10: have a large manufacturer that comes in and said, look,
Speaker 10: this is the mechatronics. We need people that can work
Speaker 10: with their hands, but they can also work with robotics.
Speaker 5: And our community colleges.
Speaker 10: Are doing a phenomenal job at that, whether it's training
Speaker 10: healthcare workers, training mechatronics, people that can fix the robots
Speaker 10: that are doing other construction. I think it's unmatched in
Speaker 10: our country.
Speaker 5: So that it comes down to our people and some
Speaker 5: of the.
Speaker 10: Practical training that our community colleges can give them.
Speaker 1: All right, minute now, half you guys are actually you
Speaker 1: guys are trying to pull a budget through. What are
Speaker 1: you guys up to in the Senate this week? Minute?
Speaker 5: Yes, the all night budget resolution. You hear this term vodrama.
Speaker 10: Basically, when we shove this thing through, the reconciliation.
Speaker 3: Is going to be on fifty one.
Speaker 5: Votes, not sixty. And I look at it.
Speaker 10: As like we're all in the starting blox. The House
Speaker 10: needs instruction, The Senate needs instruction. The Budget Resolution that
Speaker 10: we did last week is the starting gun of the sprint,
Speaker 10: and now.
Speaker 5: That we have passed it in the Senate last week, the.
Speaker 10: House needs to adopt those same instructions.
Speaker 5: It's not policy, but we're all trying.
Speaker 10: To get down closer and closer away from COVID level spending.
Speaker 5: The numbers are like seven point two.
Speaker 10: Trillion dollars that we're spending every year. The problem is
Speaker 10: we only have a country take in about five and
Speaker 10: a half trillion dollars of revenue. So we got to
Speaker 10: get after cutting spending because that's what's starting to get
Speaker 10: in the way. I mean, tariffs, other countries not treating
Speaker 10: us fairly. But when you look in the mirror, this
Speaker 10: country has spent way too much and we got to
Speaker 10: get after reducing that spending. People talk about reducing deficit.
Speaker 10: I'm like, you need to eliminate the deficit. Then you
Speaker 10: got to start.
Speaker 3: Working on the debt.
Speaker 5: So I think this will reduce the deficit.
Speaker 10: Not completely eliminate it, and get it.
Speaker 5: Closer to like a six or six point five.
Speaker 10: Trillion, and then you got to start working it down
Speaker 10: from there. Then you get good policies in like making
Speaker 10: Trump's tax cuts permanent. That injects some certainty and then
Speaker 10: we can start growing our revenue by growing an economy.
Speaker 1: Senator, I appreciate it. We got to go to a break,
Speaker 1: but we'll talk soon. We'll be back. So you're telling
Speaker 1: me you and the wife and the kid drove all
Speaker 1: the way to the movie theater. I don't know which
Speaker 1: one you go to, and instead of going to Disney
Speaker 1: snow White, you went to the Minecraft movie.
Speaker 4: Dude, we had planned goingto Minecraft movie. This has been
Speaker 4: on the countlar for like over a month.
Speaker 1: Okay, dude, what a week. Lincoln's happened, by the way,
Speaker 1: getting a fantastic in the movie. Yeah, you're living the
Speaker 1: dream birthday week. All right. So I'm just tell you
Speaker 1: what my understanding is from what I've read. The understanding is,
Speaker 1: obviously it made a crap ton more money in snow White.
Speaker 1: But it's it's not like it's a good you know,
Speaker 1: it's not an Oscar movie. It's a kids movie. It
Speaker 1: doesn't have the politics in it. It's going to be
Speaker 1: it's going to speak to a generation that grew up
Speaker 1: on Minecraft. But don't expect a fine art. Explain it
Speaker 1: to me from.
Speaker 4: A I will tell you this old stand. I will
Speaker 4: tell you this. Typically when we bring Lincoln to the movies,
Speaker 4: he understands that we're paying out our butt for these
Speaker 4: tickets and he's supposed to sit there and watch the
Speaker 4: whole thing. And typically through these movies, even if he
Speaker 4: likes it, like the Super Mario Brothers movie that recently
Speaker 4: came out, he will lean towards either Marky or I
Speaker 4: at some point and say how much longer is in
Speaker 4: the movie because he knows he has to sit through
Speaker 4: the whole thing. He didn't do that once he watched
Speaker 4: the entire thing. At the end of it, the credits
Speaker 4: rolled and he goes, that was a good movie. I
Speaker 4: watched the whole thing, and he was talking about it
Speaker 4: on the way home. When he came home, he played Minecraft.
Speaker 4: He tried to play the game in Minecraft. And they're
Speaker 4: being super smart when it comes to the marketing, believe
Speaker 4: it or not. Now, when you load up Minecraft, when
Speaker 4: you get to the first menu screens, they have a
Speaker 4: special movie event, So now you can play the game
Speaker 4: in the game that was about a game. Right, that's
Speaker 4: super smart marketing, because that's something you would assume they
Speaker 4: would do that you could go into the game and
Speaker 4: see the movie in the game, which you can do now,
Speaker 4: so you can play through the movie in the game.
Speaker 4: So he did that. There was a special online event.
Speaker 4: I will tell you this. It is what it is,
Speaker 4: but for what it is, it's fantastic. And I laughed
Speaker 4: hard about three times. Okay, specifically my thing.
Speaker 1: I understand that parents are going to take their kids
Speaker 1: these things and sometimes you just got to sit there
Speaker 1: and suck it up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't toure. No, it was not torturous. It
Speaker 4: was it was enjoyable for what it was. It is
Speaker 4: a kid's movie. It is not The Godfather, so you're
Speaker 4: not going to get that. The kids in the movie
Speaker 4: watching the movie were super excited, cheering, talking. It was
Speaker 4: more of like an event than just going to see
Speaker 4: a movie, right.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: When we go to a lot of movies, sometimes we're
Speaker 4: afraid that people are going to be freaked out or
Speaker 4: you know, with Lincoln's like stimming or talking or some
Speaker 4: noises that he's gonna make because of his autism, because
Speaker 4: they might be ignorant or a way for them.
Speaker 1: The movies that were specifically four Kids.
Speaker 4: With uh No, we rented out at theater once. Okay,
Speaker 4: all right for his birthday during COVID when they were
Speaker 4: doing that gotcha. This was great because the kids were
Speaker 4: like loud through the whole thing. And believe it, Lincoln
Speaker 4: was like an angel. He was like, I'm in a movie.
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to whisper.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: It was a great and he's like looking at the
Speaker 4: other kids, like, why are you making a listen noise?
Speaker 3: In all Way.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's like, watch the whole thing. You can
Speaker 4: tell the kids absolutely loved it. Jason Momoa plays like
Speaker 4: a Billy Mitchell type character. Billy Mitchell is an actual
Speaker 4: video game champion from the eighties. He was in this
Speaker 4: documentary called King of Kong, which is popular about the
Speaker 4: decade or so ago. There's some questions, yeah, but he
Speaker 4: plays like that, sort of like burnt out, still living
Speaker 4: in his glory days of the eighties video game character.
Speaker 4: I thought he was hilarious. I guess he's like an
Speaker 4: executive producer. But there's one specific scene at the end
Speaker 4: where Jack Black, who, by the way, is perfect for
Speaker 4: this movie because he sings. He's your typical Jack Black.
Speaker 4: He's over the top, he's got his mannerisms, but it's
Speaker 4: perfect for what the movie is the perfect casting because
Speaker 4: when I first thought him, like, that doesn't look like Steve.
Speaker 4: He does an amazing job. He's great at it. But
Speaker 4: there's a scene with him at the end with the
Speaker 4: villain that and I'm not going to spoil anything, but
Speaker 4: it had me laughing tears. It was so funny, and
Speaker 4: I looked over at Marky and Markey was laughing tears too.
Speaker 4: So if you're like an adult and you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: I have to slog through this thing with my kid,
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna take him because I'm a good parent,
Speaker 4: there are going to be scenes that you're going to
Speaker 4: think are good and you will be entertained.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, I mean that's I'm assuming that's
Speaker 1: all you can ask for from.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said, it is what it is, but
Speaker 4: what it does is fantastic. So it's a good movie,
Speaker 4: all right. You can see why it's making so much hair.
Speaker 1: So if you're between that and snow White, yeah, look
Speaker 1: at joke. I go with the other one. Go with
Speaker 1: the Minecraft movie. Now do you think that it's They
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna make a hundred million, and they
Speaker 1: made three hundred million in the opening weekend worldwide. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have. They're probably already ready to do another.
Speaker 4: I have a feeling there's gonna be a sequel.
Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Even the woman that played the woman's in that plays
Speaker 4: as Stiffler's mom, I can never remember her name. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: she's in the movie. And even she's funny.
Speaker 1: I mean, I actually saw a piece of an interview
Speaker 1: she did where she was talking about she's like, she goes,
Speaker 1: the number of perverted sex scenes are not sex She
Speaker 1: didn't mean sex scenes. I can't remember how she worded it,
Speaker 1: but basically, where it's a sexual there's a sexual nature, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so so, and she's just like, I'm just so happy
Speaker 1: I don't have to do that this right right.
Speaker 4: There's a funny scene where, h so, in the game,
Speaker 4: there's these villagers, and villagers make these sounds and like, hmmm,
Speaker 4: they don't even speak English, that's what they sound like
Speaker 4: in the game. They just walk around in the villages
Speaker 4: and they auto load and hmmm. One of them gets
Speaker 4: out of the portal. She hits them with a car,
Speaker 4: and she goes on a date with him, and it's
Speaker 4: really funny. It's funny because she's sitting there and from
Speaker 4: this guy, you know, talking about her recent divorce and
Speaker 4: everything she's gone through and she's looking for a man.
Speaker 4: And then they pan over and it's just this minecraft
Speaker 4: villager guy.
Speaker 11: Going, m.
Speaker 1: What a career by the way, she's had. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: just had to be a milf. That's it. That's she's
Speaker 1: the original. You American Pie made you and that's just
Speaker 1: been your thing since now. And and like she shows
Speaker 1: up a couple movies a year, just has to kind
Speaker 1: of be that.
Speaker 4: He just talks in that breathy voice and just you know,
Speaker 4: makes you know, like sexual innuendo. But you know it's
Speaker 4: not it'll go over the children's head. It's nothing like
Speaker 4: super dirty.
Speaker 1: It's usually comedic by the way. Yeah, yeah, no, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a good gig if you can get it.
Speaker 1: Probably all right. I got to fit this in just
Speaker 1: because I promised this. This my this is my current
Speaker 1: leader for most misleading headline. I'm sure it'll be absolutely
Speaker 1: destroyed at some point, but this Normally I just I
Speaker 1: look at the stuff and I sigh and then I
Speaker 1: just move on. But this is so bad. So from
Speaker 1: the Hill. President Trump planning military parade through DC for
Speaker 1: his seventy ninth birthday. All right, that's and you know
Speaker 1: that obviously drew some people in now Ross if you
Speaker 1: ever did seize control, you're doing missile parades right.
Speaker 4: Oh too, like every day every other day.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That being said in Realville, that's you know, people
Speaker 1: are like, well, that's weird, why are you doing that?
Speaker 1: So here's why that headline is one thousand percent garbage.
Speaker 1: So Trump's birthday happens to coincide with an event that
Speaker 1: has been in the works prior to Trump getting re elected.
Speaker 1: That would be June fourteenth, marking the two hundred and
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of the Army. So the military parade that
Speaker 1: they're claiming Trump is organizing to celebrate his birthday is
Speaker 1: something that was already going to happen and has been
Speaker 1: in planning for over a year. So under the Biden
Speaker 1: administration to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
Speaker 1: the army, Trump did tweak it. I think he made
Speaker 1: it a little bit larger. But like that headline right there,
Speaker 1: like He's doing a whole military parade just for himself
Speaker 1: is so incredibly disingenuous and just and then literally ignoring
Speaker 1: until hold on one, two, three, four, five, six. I'm
Speaker 1: counting the number of paragraphs, so I have to get
Speaker 1: through seven. I've to get to seven paragraphs for them
Speaker 1: to point out that it happens to already be the
Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the army. That's it.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with it, nothing to do
Speaker 1: A senior administration official confirmed the plans. Washington City Paper
Speaker 1: first reported on the parade, noting it will stretch almost
Speaker 1: four miles. This is not a new thing. He just
Speaker 1: they've just figured out the logistics of it, right, because
Speaker 1: the planning started under Biden saying, hey, we got to
Speaker 1: do something two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and the Trump
Speaker 1: administration literally carried through the planning. And it just happens
Speaker 1: to be the same date that was previously the date,
Speaker 1: which happens to be Trump's birthday. And the Hill wants
Speaker 1: to make it sound like he's having a missile parade, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'll be okay with like, and what's
Speaker 1: funny too, is I saw a bunch of leftists, like,
Speaker 1: all right, we got to flood the parade route and
Speaker 1: shout him down. Good luck. You think you think a
Speaker 1: bunch of army dudes walking them for me? Do you
Speaker 1: think they give a crap that a bunch of moon
Speaker 1: bats so abounch one hundred pound moonbats are screaming at him.
Speaker 1: I suspect they don't. And also later after it, when
Speaker 1: they get to, you know, tie a few on. It's
Speaker 1: probably not going to go well for you if you
Speaker 1: start getting a bunch of military dude's faces. But whatever,
Speaker 1: So when you see that headline and you see this narrative,
Speaker 1: you just understand that he didn't just come up with
Speaker 1: a military parade idea yesterday. It was inherited and the
Speaker 1: date was the same, and they literally are just they
Speaker 1: just plan the logistics of the parade itself. You know
Speaker 1: it's going to go I think four was it four
Speaker 1: miles something like that. I whatever, But yeah, I saw
Speaker 1: that headline yesterday and I'm like, that's crazy. Really is
Speaker 1: he just he just announced he's going to do a
Speaker 1: military parade for himself. And then I read it and
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, you guys are just scum of the earth, man,
Speaker 1: scum of the earth. Now, you remember he wanted to
Speaker 1: do He did want to do one during his first thing.
Speaker 1: It didn't have anything to do with his birthday. He
Speaker 1: wanted to do a military parade, and it turned into
Speaker 1: some like mini scandal and they didn't do it. I
Speaker 1: think the city of DC told him to pound sand
Speaker 1: although this year I don't know they get away with it.
Speaker 1: It's because this thing is actually the Army's birthday celebration.
Speaker 1: Then it will likely go forward. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: raced agent from the weather channel. Batt'll be in June's
Speaker 1: certain time. Yeah, we get to that, but for now,
Speaker 1: we are counting down to some really nice stuff. So
Speaker 1: let's just get to what's going to be this weekend.
Speaker 1: And if you want to keep that throughout the summer,
Speaker 1: low humidity, comfortable town, I'd be okay with that.
Speaker 6: So yeah, and I mean we're starting to see that
Speaker 6: what it'll look like this weekend.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 6: Got a few clouds trying to sneak in near the Triad,
Speaker 6: but most of the clouds that are pushing east of
Speaker 6: Greenville and Wallace and Jacksonville eastern parts of the state.
Speaker 6: So ro start looked real nice today. Most of us
Speaker 6: in the mid upper forties to near fifty the coldest.
Speaker 6: As you go west. There's even thirties around the mountains.
Speaker 6: But gonna look good today too, So really today tomorrow
Speaker 6: to good looking days mid upper fifties, maybe sixty by tomorrow,
Speaker 6: then some showers probably later Thursday, but better chance at
Speaker 6: night and into Friday. So late Thursday, Thursday night, and
Speaker 6: Friday do not look great. But seventy five percent of
Speaker 6: Thursday's probably dry, mid upper sixties to near seventy and
Speaker 6: then with the showers are in the sixties Friday. If
Speaker 6: the weekend right now looks partly to mostly sunny, lot
Speaker 6: to mid sixties during the day with forties at night,
Speaker 6: So gonna look like it looks today. We'll have a
Speaker 6: lot of sunshine, that nice deep blue sky we like
Speaker 6: to see, and maybe a few clouds around. The rain
Speaker 6: later in the week doesn't look like it's gonna be
Speaker 6: a bunch some of the totals coming in some of
Speaker 6: the guide and suggesting that maybe we get maybe a
Speaker 6: quarter of an inch, possibly a little bit more in
Speaker 6: some spots as compared to one to three inches across
Speaker 6: the region.
Speaker 1: What's that Because there's some spots that could use it
Speaker 1: in the state, Like, yeah, there still are are that'd
Speaker 1: be great. So yeah, well, we had a couple of
Speaker 1: inches rainow even three four inches of rain in some
Speaker 1: of those areas yesterday, so we did get some helpful
Speaker 1: rainfow I think most of that's probably under could I
Speaker 1: don't even know if it's could have put it completely out,
Speaker 1: but it certainly helped. It will even be done with.
Speaker 1: I think they're all yeah too, So yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: so yeah, appreciate it, have it go. We'll talk tomorrow.
Speaker 1: SIRT sounds good. We'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next.
Speaker 1: Hang on. Inter day trading was insane, but the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, and Jeff Bellinger's here to
Speaker 1: tell you all about it. All right, Jeff, what's going on?
Speaker 12: Yeah, it looked like just a normal mixed clothes yesterday

Speaker 12: The now futures are up one thousand and forty eight points.
Speaker 12: The White House is starting to hear from the nation's
Speaker 12: trading partners that want to negotiate over tariffs. Treasury Secretary
Speaker 12: Scott Bessen says about seventy countries have called so far.
Speaker 12: We have shares of Levi Strauss rallying and pre market trading.
Speaker 12: The Denham Clothing Giant reported stronger than expected first quarter
Speaker 12: results and maintained its outlook for the full year. Was
Speaker 12: not just car buyers who rushed to make deals before
Speaker 12: President Trump's new terror took effect. A lot of Apple
Speaker 12: stores across the country were crowded over the weekend. There
Speaker 12: was a surge in iPhone sales to consumers who wanted
Speaker 12: to upgrade before possible price increases. Some Apple employees compared
Speaker 12: the crowds to those typically seen during the holidays. A
Speaker 12: lot of people are making hardship withdrawals from retirement accounts
Speaker 12: to cover emergency expenses, The chief executive of the retirement
Speaker 12: plan provider m Power told Bloomberg TV. Withdrawals from four
Speaker 12: oh one k's are running as much as twenty percent
Speaker 12: above the historical norm. Redfin says a fifth of all
Speaker 12: prospective home buyers expect to sell some stocks to help
Speaker 12: them raise the down payment, and one in ten homeowners
Speaker 12: have sold stocks to help them meet their mortgage payments.
Speaker 12: Women are helping to reshape the sports nutrition business, and
Speaker 12: they're becoming an increasingly important customer segment. Their strong demand
Speaker 12: for protein shakes from women who use weight loss drugs
Speaker 12: and more recently, some who care more about strength and
Speaker 12: well being than just thinness and Casey. If Thinness is
Speaker 12: not on your mind, we pass along news you can use.
Speaker 12: Today is free cone day at Ben and Jerry's.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I don't like the way you worded that.
Speaker 1: What are you implying, Jeff? But I don't.
Speaker 12: Well, no, just if if you're if you're on a diet,
Speaker 12: you may avoid an ice cream cone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly that's not me. So we're good. All right,
Speaker 1: So Ben and Jerry's free ice cream. All right, Well

Speaker 1: do appreciate it. Okay, you have a good day. Yeah, Ross,
Speaker 1: We actually have a problem. We have a problem coming up.
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this but not on the air,
Speaker 1: because I get my little email every morning which has
Speaker 1: like this day in history and then what is today?
Speaker 1: You know some of the like you know it's National
Speaker 1: Popcorn Day, that kind of stuff. So did you know?
Speaker 1: And this will definitely involve you that there. So last
Speaker 1: week was National pe Cobbler Day and next week is
Speaker 1: International Peach Cobbler Day.
Speaker 4: Now are we talking just the peach cobbler or the milkshake?
Speaker 1: It just says peach cobbler. I don't I don't know.

Speaker 4: days that I should have a peach cobbler milkshake.
