Friday-05-12-2023

Well, good morning everybody in Happy Friday. It is the Casey Oda Radio program. Unfortunately, I was greeted with the three worst words you can ever see when you turn on your computer this morning. Kyle, what do you think the three worst words are you could see when you turn on your computer this morning. I'm gonna go with something involving updates that is correct, updates were installed. Do we know do we know what that has screwed up?

Yet? No? No, everything looks as it's supposed to. It's not asking me to shut it down and restart it. But once I passed the signing screen, it's and I signed yet, and I didn't look like I clack clack clack signing in. And then I got up and went to the bathroom and went and got like a gatorade and all that, and then I rolled back sit down in front of the computer. I'm like, oh, no, no, So we're gonna find out on this adventure together on what's

going on with this. This is the call screen computers. Hey, you know the call the next gen one's working fine, So the call screener here, it does take about a half hour from the time I log on to the time that I can launch the program. Oh wow, yep, I'm sure that's a design right. Oh man, Hey, speaking of by design, I don't know if it's by design, but I find it very interesting. I was reading two stories this where neither of which are in the pack,

so you haven't seen these. But so I'm reading two stories this morning, and I got I got some questions. So this is CNN, So take it for what it's worth. Rome in crisis as Italian pasta prices sore. So they're having a pasta shortage over in Italy and it's so bad at such a staple that their version of like the FBI, is investigating as to what's going on here, because obviously that's not a thing that can happen.

You can't have the pasta prices going wacky. So does anybody else find it very interesting that after utilizing a week's worth of vacation, Ross has been able to turn his attention to testing the never endedness of the never ending postable, and simultaneously we find out at the end of the week that Italy's almost out of pasta Or is that just am I just a conspiracy theorist trying to connect two things? Because I feel like they may be related. I don't know.

I don't know the answer. I'm just saying I find it the timing to be very interesting. And as you can imagine, if you're in Italy, running out of pasta is a bit of a process. Although I just assumed if you live in Italy you would never use premade pasta. That's a joke, by the way. That's why there's all different brands over there. But you would never, I tell anyone, So, like, could you really complain about it? Wouldn't you just suck it up and make your own?

Don't know. I wonder when it hits America. I mean, sure, Italy is Italy, but God help us if it hits here. Gotta have the pasta. You guys eat a lot of pasta, Kyle Fair, Do you eat real pasta? By real? Do you mean I make it myself? No? No, no, no, no no. But it's not some weird sweet thing, right, oh no, real pasta? Yeah? Oh okay, all right, So you your your whole family could be impacted. What's that? So some crap out there? I'm sure there is,

because pasta has animal products, right, there's bugs and everything. Right, Well, I was I met the eggs, but you know whatever, I don't know, but yeah, no, My theory is RASA has been over it. It's like when they kicked Peter out of the Chinese buffet on Family Guy, except they didn't do it because you know, he's wearing that sheriff's hat and they're intimidated or something. I don't know, but I found that very interesting. This morning, you were just at all of garden.

Did they have pasta? You know, they still did as of as of last night. The family became part of that family. It was a good time. Kyle was bragging this morning, just we did. And then he's like, yeah, well I took the family to Olive Garden and then he grabbed a wad of hundreds and used him to light a soy cigar. So it was it was very disgusting. Now, so that's uh, that's it's

apparently a big national crisis over there. So running out of pasta van I don't know what they're gonna do. All right, six thirteen case O Day Radio program coming up on the show eight oh five Peak Calendar will join us. He'll be um. We got all sorts of fun stuff to a chit chat about uh, we gotta for some reason, I got a ton of California stories, not just because of the Supreme Court kind of screwed pork producers a little bit. But I guess I I battle with this, So I'll

lay it out. I'll lay it out for you and I'll see what you think. Because they did take the less government approach, at least the less federal government approach, which you know that that's generally I'm a big fan of that. But the ripples of that court case could be very impactful, especially here in North Carolina. We got what or two hogs laying around. Don't know if you know that, maybe if you're new here. Yip yip yip yip yeup. In fact, we have a whole political empire and town that's

basically built on rent in space for hogs. It's a really amazing story. And the Chinese are involved too, all right, so we'll get to we'll get to that. Plus you know, just the standard Friday fun and frivolity and screaming about stuff. Okay, all right, everything you've come to expect on the way hang on a new decade on the calendar and celebrating ten years on the air. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk n w PTI and the Triad. Do you know who the

dumbest person on the planet is? Now? I just I just thought of this during the during the break. Remember how we finally figured out why somebody dumped five hundred pounds of pasta along a creek in New Jersey. And it wasn't some weird take over the planet thing. It was some guy whose mom died and she had been hoarding five hundred pounds of pasta. That poor bastard. If we're about to have a big pasta run, that guy was sitting on a gold mine. That's a craig. I was like, I could

have retired. He was like, it was like a dude who bought bitcoin back when you could pay for pizza with a hundred of them and then forgot about it for fifteen years. And he just took all that pasta ahead of the Great Pasta Shortage I've named it, and just dumped it there on the

side of the creek. What an idiot man. Pastaflation. We just do pasta puns on the story too, if you won add one yesterday, but I'll work it in again, right whoever whoever's responsible for pastaflation in the form of sixteen and a half percent year over year should go to the Penna tentry. Uh, preposterous, that's right, look at that. Kyle's all in on this. What what obviously is causing them to wonder how the hell we

got here? Is wheat isn't up. In fact, the price of wheat's fallen year over year, and obviously wheat is the main ingredient in pasta. So what the heck here? People sending me weird pasta memes. We're doing pasta puns right now, so, uh, you know, just so as you know, all right, So, yeah, we got that story there eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four You want to be on the show, that's how you make that happen. So then I was reading

this story. It actually I was reading two different stories. But have you read about um these? And of course it's Silicon Valley, which you know, everything's going swimmingly there, and no worry, we'll get into the Twitter new I know, so you're very amped for that this morning. But I want to grab a little chunk of audio which we didn't do before the show

that I just saw, So hang, loose. Um. So basically they're they're they're talking about these guys that they're talking about, these guys that micro doose. Do you know what this is? So they take small doses of narcotics throughout the day and like in some cases like acid, hallucinogenic mushrooms. Um, there's one guy, there was one dude who was taking small doses of ketamine and they swear that like it helps the performance frames. I don't

know how horse tranquilizer frames the mind. Um, I'm not clear. Although if I had known you you get so much money for it. You know, growing up we had horse tranquilizers. I never thought to put one in my mouth. Um. But yeah, they're like they're they're sitting there like, oh no, this is the secret to being efficient, being able to get things done all day. And I'm like, it's not some new secret you cracked. Have you ever heard of musicians or you know, people in

entertainment. Michael Jackson will be a good example. Right, they get up, they got some doctor on standby, give him, give him a little juice, and throughout the day you would, uh, you'd faint from just hearing the list of substance to substances they're jamming in their bodies and then when it's night, night time out they go. Marilyn Monroe talked about this. It's it's not a new thing. But also, why are you so stupid

You're giving an interview about how you do ketamine at work? I mean, granted, I know you're part of a startup, and you know, you're you're you're the world, You're oyster, and you're setting your own parameters and you're you're in charge. But what if that doesn't work and you got to go get another job? I mean, by google your name and you're bragging about how much ketamine you're snorting, who's hiring you? Unless I don't know,

it's like a ketamine study or something. I was unaway, but it just what struck me about it is not that they were doing it, but that they thought that them in you know, working high you know, high amount of hours, high stress positions, think that doing drugs, a regiment of drugs throughout the day to maximize your you're awake time is some sort of new concept that they just discovered. I'm like, nah, I would I would, I would look to Hollywood or I don't know a World War two

Germany. Right, Hitler was given his dudes meth he himself was on a wide variety of things. So I just I love. I love when we reinvented stuff and then we write articles about it, like, oh, the housing prizes are crazy. So what New York Zelenials have figured out how to do is there'll be two people. They'll run a two bedroom apartment together, but they're not related, they're not in a relationship. They just lived there, one in one bedroom, one in the other. It's crazy, this

co living oimy roommates. Yeah, yeah, I'd heard of that. So we'll tack this one up there as you got another example of that. All right, let's talk about California real quick being a Silicon valley. You obviously heard the news last week the California's Reparations Committee has recommended that they give was at one point two million dollars each to any qualified black California Californian. But that's only half of the fun. Oh and did you see Gavin Newsom isn't

coming out and endorsing that. Let's show you how disingenuousness Galue is. Because he loved the idea of reparations. But now he might you know, he's looking to potentially running for president, and he's seeing the poll numbers, and most of America thinks that's stupid, right, most of California does too, believe it or not, But they also are demanding the state of California apologize. And they have released the list of what they have to apologize for.

And I guess, I guess the apology is to anyone who's black and lives in California. So, um, this is apparently what they will officially apologize over. I was just looking at this list, all right. They will apologize a for a former Confederates serving as the first acting president of the University of California. They will apologize for California not passing antislavery laws despite being admitted to the Union as a free state. So they didn't have slaveries, so

they didn't pass laws barring something. They didn't have Confederate monuments. I guess that's just a blanket apology. Zoning ordinances targeting black people, suppressing the Black

Panther Party in the sixties and seventies. Well, I don't know if you know this, but the Black Panther Party specifically in California in the sixties and seventies, they did some stuff and I don't mean Marchham with signs developing oil and gas projects a sorry, terminating affirmative action programs in public employment, racial disparities in the child welfare system, law enforcement, prison, pop jury service,

healthcare physicians and licensed attorneys, and licensing requirements excluding black people from skilled jobs. Is that a thing? I look, that's not a thing. That's an opinion where they think that licensing in general. And if you want to have a debate about that, fine, But it's one more item on here that I've got to destroy because they're wrong, and it has to do

with Ronald Reagan. And I'll get into that story coming up right after the news hang on ten years of news twice an hour and smart talk all day four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Well Well well, well, well six thirty four good morning, case O Day radio program. You're going to be shocked to learn that the reparations panel out in California that's decided that state of California should pay one point

two million dollars to each and every qualifying whatever that means. Black resident of California also has included a list of apologies, official apologies. And I'm looking at this thing this morning and I noticed something, right I read you. Most of the list pretty standard stuff, real open ended stuff. There's some stuff I don't fully understand, like are they are there business licenses that are not available to people of all races? I couldn't find any, but that's

something they want. But one of the main apologies they've asked for is an apology over Ronald Reagan coining the term welfare queen. The terminology this is from the committee. The terminology conjures stereotypes of single black women as hypersexualized, aggressive, and dependent on government income with frivolous spending habits, despite that the majority

of welfare recipients are white. This racist label blamed African American women for shortfalls in the US's social safety net and suggested they were more responsible for their poverty than others. We demand an apology by then from on behalf of then Governor Reagan, who also had been reported to have made racist remarks elsewhere, including in private regarding African delegates to the UN. I'm not super familiar with they're referencing there, but I have seen this before. You know why the state

of California should not apologize for Ronald Reagan coining the term welfare queen? Can anybody guess why? Because he didn't. This is why when I this is why I pound on stuff like the Charlottesville stuff or the hands up, don't shoot. It shows you how many of these things can get baked in or Sarah Palin, I could see Russia from my front porch. It shows you and then it makes you question how many things in history are just wrong.

That's why it's always fascinating when you find out more about stuff. Do you do you know about the Boston Tea Party? Or do you know about the Boston Tea Party and the intricacies behind it? Because there's two levels of knowing what's up there. I'm not going to delve into all of that, but if that piqued your interest, you know, google what was the Boston Tea Party really about? Or are also about? Or I can't remember what the

name of the video was fascinating and they cited their sources in it. So I love learned about a history. But let me explain to you why Reagan didn't invent welfare queen and who did so? Ronald Reagan gave a speech, and in the speech he was he was talking about different examples, but one of the things that he talked about was a story that had been in the news. This was in nineteen seventy six. It was in the news, and this was, by the way, after he was governor, he was

not even governor anymore. But he gave a speech and he commented on an article about a woman from Chicago named Linda Taylor, and Linda basically had cobbled together a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year in welfare payments from various social safety net programs in nineteen seventy six. What's one hundred what's a hund fifty thousand dollars worth today of one hundred and fifty thousand nineteen seventy six money,

Kyle? Can you can you uh convert that real quick? While I'm still talking, I want to know what one hundred and fifty thousand a year because Chicago was expensive, Yeah, that would be seven hundred ninety nine, seven hundred twenty six dollars and seventy one Since in today's eight hundred thousand bucks. Right, that's a lot of money eight hundred eight hundred you think you could get by maybe maybe you guys go to all Garden twice a week. Whoo,

that's what I'm saying. Man, So she so, And he was talking about these programs being broken, and he was citing a story that had outraged a lot of people, including people who probably very much thought that they needed this wide variety of social safety net programs. He was talking about accountability of it, but he was also talking about this story that had shocked people.

She figured out how to manipulate the system, and some of it was through fraud, I might add, but she was able to get eight hundred thousand dollars a month. Was crazy. And that was it. That was the extent to what she spoke. Do you know who actually used the term welfare queen? Writers at the Chicago Tribune. That's how they headline this story about Linda Taylor when the story broke, welfare queen because she's living like a queen and she's on welfare. And so by Reagan talking about it, Chicago

Tribune including in further coverage. So you now have because you have the initial stories. But now you have the story where Reagan's quoted as even the former governor of California said something blah blah blah, and then they put it in their subheadline. It gets attributed even though it's not in quotes in the article.

So this committee who who is trying to determine historically whether people who were never slaves surrounded by people who never own slaves have some sort of historical right to these big old pots of money and apparently a list of apologies, and they can't even be bothered to do their research. Whole thing's bonkers, man, But it's California, and so that's you know, it doesn't even shock the senses when you read that it's going on. Oh, which is just

crazy. All right. So yesterday Elon must mentioned that there's going to be a new CEO, and really all that we knew was that it's a woman or identifies as a woman based on pronoun usage. All right, He said that she would be starting here in six weeks, but they didn't say who

it was. However, it doesn't sound like it's a very well kept secret, if if some of the reporting this morning is to be believed, because they think they found out who it is, and UM, let's just say there's uh, there's tape on all this, and um, if she is in fact going to be the new CEO of of Twitter, I think a

lot of people are going to have some questions about this particular decision. The woman's name is Linda Jacarino, and um, she's worked in a variety of you know, corporate entities, work for Comcast, a bunch of others. In fact, let me do let me do this because I want to give you her bio, but I want to play some audio from her as well. And again, this has not been confirmed by Elon, but I'm seeing it with enough people reporting it that I think it's it's probably this is probably

who it is. So I will get into who this woman is and what people are saying, and we'll play a little snippet of sound from her. No, not her World Economic Forum speech. Yeah, yeah, yep, she's she lots of pictures of her speaking over there. But instead we'll go back to the summer of the summer of mostly peaceful protests and how her her

as a it's a big wig. I think a Comcast at the time decided that they were going to respond, So all that more coming up six forty three, Hang on ten years of news twice an hour and smart talk all day, four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, here we go everything you wanted to know about the woman who's purported to be the new CEO of Twitter here in the next few weeks. Because I see people online and I feel like they've done

half their research but not the other half. So I want to try to be fair here because I think this is important. Now. Admittedly, one of my favorite things really on the whole Twitter front is mostly watching people whine about stuff like, oh, they put a blue chuck bark on me,

So that's where I get my entertainment. But I also understand that there are a lot of folks sitting there and looking at Twitter as kind of the last bastion of social media where you might just get an edge of allowability to uh, you know, proper ideas that maybe aren't mainstream without getting your hand slapped, although you know that stuff still happens. So when Wall Street Journal, in New York Times and several others started saying this is most likely the new

CEO. Obviously people started to look into her and during her time she's been she's been with NBC Universal Comcast for like twenty years. I think she was a turner prior to that, so really just a couple of gigs. She's she's head of advertising for him. She is, she's the the top dog in NBC Universal when it comes to global advertising, so very very upper upper

echelon and UM. As a result, she also at a time when everything was going on with UM, all of these corporations wanting to get on board with BLM and everything, she was the one who on a on a team's meeting or a zoom meeting, there's video of talking about how they're dealing with it. Because she has board position, she is part of the World Economics Forum's task force. I think she's chairwoman of the task Force on Future of

Work and sits on the board for Media, Entertainment and Culture. So anytime people hear World Economic Forum, they rightfully raise an eyebrow. However, what you may not know about her, well, actually, let me play the

audio here. She is talking about just a little bit of one of the initiatives that the Comcast side of things within NBC Universal is deciding to undertake can talk about, you know, things that my company is doing to accelerate, right, to accelerate what we were doing already, but realizing that it wasn't enough. So what immediately started happening was that, under the leadership of Brian Roberts and Jeff Scholl, Comcast set up a fund to the value of a

hundred million dollars to fight social justice inequality. All right, so you know, and that's what you saw all of these big sea level sweet muckety muck's doing at that time, right, and so people see this, they see the World Economic Forum stuff, and they're on Twitter and they're freaking out. Well, it was fun while it lasted, is essentially the verbiage there. But maybe did I don't know if you knew this. Do you know who

Linda Yacarino is friends with Donald Trump? Let that set in again. Now to what extent they're friends, I don't know, but enough that when Trump was elected president, he tapped her to sit he appointed her to what specifically was it. She was one of his political appointees I think was the sports Yeah, sports fitness and nutrition. Yeah, you know, and that's that's one of those you know, hey, thanks for being a friend, or

bundling or you know, thank you kind of things. Right where there's prestige attached to it. You get to your opinion rises to the top when recommendations are being made. But you know that's not something you generally just dole out

to know somebody don't know. And advertising is going to be Twitter's challenge, especially advertising in an environment where you have the rest of the media coming after you, and you're going to be fundamentally reinventing some of what Twitter does if things like Tucker Carlson moving to show there and others emerges, because you're gonna have you're gonna have to monetize all of that advertising and media is always your

challenge, right we work in media. Obviously, you know half half the battle is us putting on a show and getting you all to listen to it, and we appreciate that. But on the other side, even if everyone in the entire state of North Carolina listened to the show, if the company is not able to sell ads and monetize it, that from a business perspective, it doesn't have value other than obviously all of the great information and laughs,

we provide who did you see everybody she follows on Twitter? I did not see that list. You want me to share? Yeah, go, go go. She follows cat turd okay, but also Rhonda Santis, Babylon b Libs of TikTok, Sydney Powell. And again, I don't know everybody's speculating right now, but I saw a lot of people that were talking about the World Economic Forum stuff and yeah, I hear you and that where she's

talking about these equity initiatives. But also I bet there were a lot of CEOs that during that summer of twenty twenty, when the companies were making these ransom payments, um that you know, just realized that the best business decision was to bear and grinned. Now, that may not be acceptable for some people saying, no, you gotta take a stand. You gotta gotta be willing to push back on that garbage right where you're getting where even after we

find out that the the BLM people are buying all these houses. Uh, these companies that were on that had pledged all this money, they just they just did it. They just kept giving the money. So I'm just saying I don't know, but I feel like you should have you should know all of that. Yeah, she served as on President Trump's counsel of Sports, So I don't know, but I do know that somebody with an advertising background

is going to be immensely valuable to Elon. And you know what, maybe she's all in on the equity inclusion and you know where it becomes to the point like that Silicon Valley person who was supposed to be in charge of making sure that the bank was, you know, not putting all its apples in one basket. That individual, that vice president has spent most of her time

just organizing equity stuff and Pride Month celebrations and whatnot. So I don't know where her head's at, but I do know that it's a more complex background than some of what I'm seeing there. So hey, I don't know. We'll see again. It's not even been confirmed, but feasibly it would make sense considering what she's been at for twenty some years for NBC and Turner before that, and where Twitter needs to focus its energies to spend forty four billion

dollars. You want to make sure that you're on the path to solvency, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. That's the phone number you want to weigh in on this? Uh, go right ahead. Who did you think it was gonna be? Michelle Malkin? I mean it makes sense. Actually, all right, news coming up a loose case O Day radio program. All right, good morning everybody, and we're welcome, and he is seven h seven here on the k c O Day

Radio program, our number two. There was one other thing I wanted to add on our little like get to know your thing with the woman who is it's not confirmed, but it's basically being reported. It's not very well kept secret, the woman who's likely been tapped to be CEO of Twitter. See people are already debating this on Twitter, which is good. And there's a couple of things that make people nervous who liked the new direction of Twitter.

One is her involvement with the World Economic Forum, chairman of one of the committees, SIT's on another and she's coming from NBC. And also there's a you know, a hostage video of her talking about equity initiatives. At the time, all of that was going on and companies were just writing blank checks to BLM, who was then buying a bunch of houses with it, and in many cases not taking that money and even turning it back to the communities

which it fundraised. Out of right. There's many, many, many of the families of some of the cases that were highlighted by Black Lives Matter that said them, all that money rolled in and they never saw any of it within their local community. Craziness. Man, So people look at that. But what I don't see a lot of discussion around is Jakarina was an appointee of Trump. Down. That's not to say Trump hasn't brought in folks and put confidence in folks who turned out to be snakes. Many many, many

examples of that, but it is a politically appointed position. Also, Jaquarino, following must acquisition, this is prior to her I guess reportedly being tapped to be CEO, was actually defending Twitter basically where when companies were who just decided to recoil because activists were getting to them and you know, pause some of their partnerships. She actually posted a statement in support of Twitter saying, quote, let's see you. I'm not going to read all of this.

We heard very clearly this week the Twitter is committed to freedom of speech, not freedom of reach, accountability and ultimate transparency. These are things we should all be able to get behind as creators of culture and conversation on Twitter. All of us in the media and marketing industry have a responsibility to do our part. The doors open to give feedback and prove if you have concerns this platform, which is beloved by hundreds of millions of people around the world.

So let's all jump in and keep proposing solutions and make sure that Twitter two point zero can take flight pun intended. All right, So I mean that's that sounds like she's defending Twitter. So I don't know, but I wanted you to be armed with all of the info as people lose their flipping minds on the social media's this morning. But you know, it's easy to not have confidence as you're sitting there and you're looking at the modern offerings of entertainment

out there. Case in point, how many of you were into Transformers when you were a kid? I know, I was, Kyle. Were you on the Transformer bandwagon back in the day? Heck yeah, how cool was that? And then obviously the you know, Transformers revitalized with the movies all seventeen of them or whatever there is. Though it's ridiculous, but they were big movies. People enjoyed many of them, I guess, And I think they have another one coming up too. I think the summer right like,

they're releasing another Transformers. However, they also have a Transformer cartoon which I did not know, called Transformers Earth Spark, which I guess that goes along when you got a hot intellectual property and you wanting to promote your movies. I mean, back in the day, this is how it was done. Transformers learned when they were cutting teeth back in the day that you gotta have

the kids cartoon. Then he can have the movies, that he can have the toys, that he can have all the you know, all the merch. But rather rather than being a cartoon, I guess that you know, just your standard practice kid's cartoon about Transformers and autobots and Decepticons and you know, all of the all of the you know, the within that genre. There. Uh No, they've decided that it's not some world ending thing where optimist Prime has to save the day. Instead, they want to they want

to have a different conversation with your kids. So if you just put on transformers because it looked like a cartoon and you're familiar with the product. I just want you to understand what's going on on the cartoon. Can you switch life stage announced I gave them he or she just doesn't fitch, who I am my apologies? Please switch their piece. Yes, that's right, they're in there. They're stopping the saving of the world or the universe or whatever

currently was imperiled. To make sure that they all understand nightshades umu pronouns. It's a damn car. Can it just be like regular unleaded No, it's they them, it's multiple cars. Stop being a bigot. Thanks, I'm Sam, I'm she babe. You already know that. See you thought it was just a car. It's not just a car. Just make it stop.

Sometimes it's a truck. That was my only line of thinking. If they're going with they them, is it just a marketing ploy so they can introduce something that doesn't just go from a murder bot to a Camaro, but rather go from a Camaro to a murder bot to a four D F one fifty. Because admittedly, what if you found out that the transformer you had back in the day couldn't just transform to one vehicle, but two. That would be the one you'd want, right, That's the one I would have

wanted as a kid. You don't even have to wrap it up in all the pronouns stuff. You're telling me that I can and it'll break in five seconds because mine did. But you're telling me I can go from you know, robot superhero to two different kinds of vehicles. I'm in hook me up. Hey, Okay, I don't know what I'm safe when I'm with my friends or other non binary people, non binary people who are female or male. Oh I'm sorry. Yeah, I shouldn't have assumed. I always knew

my pronouns felt right. But what a wonderful word or a wonderful experience. You know the best part about robots talking about binary or being non binary? Kyle, what do we call the code that's utilized to run robotics and electronics and computers and stuff. Well, that that is binary. It's binary code ones and zero. You can't you can't be an autobot it be non binary. It doesn't Okay, now I know they're saying, Wow, Actually what it is is it's the all spark by just don't just don't do it.

Oh, I know you want to pick up the but don't do it. So now we got to have Transformers with with pronoun discussions for the kids, you know, for the kids. Meanwhile, the asteroids getting closer to Earth, and nobody's doing a damn thing because they're sitting around trying to figure out who's you know, which pronou button they're gonna wear on a kid's cartoon. So I, man, I do not envy you. Parents. Used to be you could just kind of dip your toe in the water on a particular

series or something and be like, all right, that's fine. Kid wants to watch that, that's fine. Yeah. We had a deal. If there was a show that we wanted to watch, my mom wanted to know what it was, and she'd watch an episode and she'd be like a yeah, you're nay, and then, you know, passively, if we were running around being jackasses quoting something and she didn't like it, she may dip her toe back in to see what's going on. But for the most part

she was able to do that. You turn on Transformer cartoon, most people are just gonna be like, Noah, it's you know, it's just transformers. Well sometimes it ain't. Seven to sixteen Hang on one oh six one FM Talk and nine four five w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is casey Oda and Carolina's Morning News all right, seven twenty two casey Oda Radio program Bone number eight eight eight ninety three four seven eight

seven four. And that's not the only thing lurking in the kids um kids programming. Um. Oh you know what I didn't pull up, Kyle. Did you ever hear the song where they're talking about um equity and one of the characters is Ross and it's the two Australian chicks singing it. No, he thought it was the greatest piece of audio ever. Oh man, now I gotta find I don't even know what that would be called in the system. It's from like two months ago, but I'll find. I will attempt

to find it. But let me let me go on the path I was going. So, yes, there you go in the Transformers. It's a whole there's a whole segment of one of the shows where they're talking about being binary and stuff. And then somebody corrected me. Apparently apparently there were a couple transformers, one a decepticon named Astro could be both a spaceship and a train, and an autobody could be a car and a helicopter. So so there you go. We didn't even know it back in the day when we

were kids. Man, we had no Optimix Prime. We'll have to add an X to that Optimix prime. See see how much better all the cartoons are getting for your kids, and it's everywhere. They just had. Netflix has that show with the Ridley Jones or whatever for preschoolers. And one of the characters who's a bison, just came out as non binary or he doesn't feel right to me. Sorry, let me tell you what bison are. Bison are delicious, but they're not running around having he gets you know the

pronouns right. They're delicious and they're fun to watch. Tourists get too close to other than that, don't care what's this other? See Kyle, you're how old is your youngest? You're out of this hell? Oh and I feel so lucky about this. My youngest just turned fourteen yesterday. Actually, all right, so you're you're out of this hell? Done with it because some of this stuff I don't know. I don't know how I wouldn't lose my damn mind listening. What is this from Disney Junior. It's a song

for the kids about micro impressions. Come on, hey, Gabriel, I didn't know that was your mom. Your skin is so much darker than hers. Hold it. Did that comment make you feel unomfortable? That's a micro aggression? What's a microaggression? A microaggression is when someone says it does something that makes you feel bad, sometimes just because of your race. But you know what, he's wrong. It should be proud of your skin. It's what makes you you, I know, just how you feel lovely sad?

And he said that aful thing and you don't know what to do. That's not okay to say it. That's a beautiful skin to then you're fussing a problem with it. I can't, I can't. It's Friday. I'm not gonna do this to myself and everyone else did she? Was she derogatory towards the girl's skin color? By the way, in that clip, it was just a little you know, a little kid talking to another little kid, right, making an observation about, you know something that there's little graces probably

doesn't do what adult brain does. And go okay, or most of the time just ignore the situation. But if we start to process it, one of two things arises in our mind that if I've never met her father, perhaps her father is black, right, because right, momskin was lighter than her skin, right. Or there's the possibility that it's a step parents situation or adopted. But mostly just don't care. But little kids care and ask

about stuff. They're not microaggressing you. They see something which doesn't compute with their little kid brain because you know, they don't have the totality of experience there. And yeah, I just believe I had a kid, I'd just be like, no, you're outside all day with a stick and some mud. Just have fun. Choose your own adventure. Here's mister Rogers on VHS something Man Something that's craziness all right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight

seven four. The world is going on? Uh, coming up on the show Pete Calendar. He'll be joining us at eight o five. Don't want to miss that. We got all sorts of fun stuff to get into. Also check this out. This guy California ends up in the in the stack this much, but it did just to just give you more of a highlight of how well things are going in in California. This guy works at Vaughns. Vaughns is like the big grocery store chain there. Okay, it's gonna

be your standard, middle of the road grocery store. When I when I was down there for school, we had a Vaughns right near me and that's where I did him, a shopping standard grocery store. But it's in California, so also it deals with a lot of theft. People coming in loading up carts, just walking the hell out of there, people shoplifting other stuff they had. You know, things are all up in cases. You know, it's it's the dream. Well, this guy worked, worked, being

the operative word at one of those Vaughans. Wait till you hear his story. He's fired now. Just doomed man, Just a doomed, doomed place. And it's so beautiful too. It's such a tragedy. More on that in a moment your day Smarter and celebrating ten years and keeping you better informed.

One oh six one FM Talk and News Talk n w PTI more with Casey starts now all right, seven thirty six, Good morning, everybody, Happy Friday, coming up in a half hour peek calendar, radio buddy who Friday, chitchat thing and mobob we do that'll be happen in eight oh five. We got lots to get into a few other things, a few other things on here. We got to uh, we got to talk about first. First, NYPD is literally being investigated by the They have like a watchdog

oversight thing up there. Why are they investigating the NYPD because the NYPD didn't immediately arrest Daniel Penny and charge him. That's right, a spokeswoman for the Civilian Complaint Review Board. Daniel Penny, by the way, is the marine on the subway who restrained You know, the guy was just trying to be a Michael Jackson impersonator and wasn't violently threatening people and has a giant history that while Penny may not have known about, if you watched the whole video,

guy wasn't just moonwalking. So but a spokeswoman for the Civilian Complaint Board confirmed Thursday that a complaint has been filed with the agency in a formal probe is underway to see if there was any wrong doing in the decision to not charge Penny after he was questioned by police following the death of Jordan Neely and then obviously, you know, all the protesters came out. It's the it's the current Michael Brown caused a jour and Alvin Bragg, of course, he had

to jump on the bandwagon. So now he's charged. Is so he's turned himself intoday and is expected to be charged with second agree manslaughter and h I don't know. I'd like to be surprised because it's New York and maybe New Yorkers have had enough of this crow, but I'm not real hopeful for the dude the second degree. They may be able to get it to a point where he doesn't go to jail, which of course that in and of itself. I'm sure we'll start some sort of protest that'll be mostly peaceful, but

Bragg. Not only is Bragg going to go forward with this because of course he is, that's who he is, but also they're gonna go after the NYPD because this is what the activists wants, so they will continue to erode once again the ability of law enforcement to do their job. And my question is, well, you're going to charge him, are you going to You're gonna You're gonna charge the other people in that video who are participating and holding

the guy down because one of those is he's a black dude. I'm just curious. I just I want to know what the activists want, because this won't be enough. They want him charged with, you know, needle in the arm murder or something. The maximum penalty for that charge would be up to like fifteen years, so it's not like it's just a hand slap he's

charged with. Ironically, of course, that's this is where you're going to expend your energy, and you probably wouldn't have crazy people costing folks on the subway if you were actually committed to I don't know, locking criminals up. I think the part where he tried to snatch a seven year old previously probably should have landed him a little jail time. I'm pretty sure if I rolled into a Harris Teeter and try to, you know, steal your seven year

old, that's probably something I should go to jail four. Right, We used to call that kidnapping back in the day, So I don't know, but yep, no, they're gonna move forward with that, and uh it's New York and uh, dude's probably screwed. But I would love to be surprised on this here, and you know what, I'd love to hear more

information and evidence too. It would excuse me. UM, I told you I got a buddy who um worked worked well military, but then he worked in the federal prison system and he was talking about how the you know, the specifics around a chokehold and all that stuff. He didn't even learn that in the military. He did learn it, um when he when he started working for the federal prison system, and he immediately looked at that one. Nope, that's not the right way to do that. But you have does

does this marine know that? I don't know. So these are the kinds of things that they'll probably get into. But ultimately you could yeah, you could see this coming, all right. Eight eight eight nine seven eight seven four. Check this out. This guy is a Vaughn's worker in California, all right. His name is Austin Cheryl. He's twenty three. He's worked for Vaughns for three years. He um, and he also has m Is it a cognitive impairment? I can't. I don't know exactly what it is.

I don't know if it's an autism spectrum or or what but but for all practical purposes, he goes to work, does his job, and since the new year, right, we're just going to start since the new year, so five five months and twelve days in, well, four months and twelve days in. This is what has happened to mister Cheryl. Back on January nineteenth. He's taking track, goes into the alley behind the store. Outside there's two people that are attempting to steal pallets and pallets with stuff on

him. I guess there's been a delivery. He tells him not to, So what do they do? One of them punches him in the face, the other one pepper sprays him, and then they give him a few kicks before he's able to scramble back inside and shut the door. Well, he tells his manager, they called the police. There you go, all right. That's that's number one. Number two happened March seventeenth. Again, he's

taking trash out, goes out to the dumpster. There is literally a dude in the alley waiting for him, or waiting for anybody I suppose, who pulls out a knife and stabs him. Except and this was lucky he stabbed him. But mister Shery had a rolled up like a roll of trash bags, right, and he had it in his pocket of his apron, and that's what the knife went into. How lucky is that because if not I had gone right in his gut, and who knows what would have happened.

So I ended up stabbing the trash bags. So that's incident number two. All the while, he's telling his manager and he's telling him like he's got like PTSD from this. He almost died, he can't sleep, he's terrified, and they're just like, God, yeah, you're fine, You're fine. So just two weeks later, he's back at work and there is a man who is going bonkers in the store. He's inebriated or he's dealing with mental health issues they don't know at the time, and he was harassing female

shoppers. He's run around screaming at him. Cheryl is kind of a big dude. Happened to be in one of the aisles where this guy came into and was screaming at a woman, and he went over to see what was wrong, and he said, at that point, you could see it on the video. The guy gets right in his face. He's cussing him out. He's threatening to kill him, and Cheryl's just standing there and he backs. Cheryl backs away. The guy follows, gets in his face again,

screaming at him, spitting in his face. Cheryl backs away again. The third time he gets up to him, he makes physical contact with Cheryl, and Cheryl instinctively pushes him off. Eventually, the guy retreated. Police came. They apprehend him in the parking lot. Sure enough, inebriated. All

right, So what do you think happened after that? Well, Cheryl said he actually filed acclaim for workman's comp following all three of the assaults and almost being stabbed to death because he was having nightmares and panic at tax and nobody at the store seemed to care. So he takes the time off the worker's

top time off, goes and avails himself of some mental health services. Returns to work nine days later and finds out he's suspended pending an investigation, and then another nine days after that they terminate him because, quote, he touched a customer. That's the California you get, that's the experience you get. And Van should be ashamed of themselves. Man, this is exactly the guy

you want is a guy who wanted to work for you. He enjoyed his job, he almost got stabbed at death taking the trash out, and you fire him. Good job, everybody. Seven forty five Race Stagic from the weather channels. You're ray, we got a problem. Yeah, we got a problem. So the FBI of Italy, whatever that organization is, is investigating because while the price of wheat hasn't gone up, pasta is. Uh, they're having a ration pasta. They're running out of pasta and pasta the

cost of it's up like almost twenty percent. What the hell? How would you like to be that poor bastard to throw all that pasta out along the creek the other day. Yeah, we're gonna get a lust to shortage. I'm thinking World War three is nigh. So have you had a week in your career? We've had two pasta stories in the same week. But that's strange, I'm sure because Ross likes to talk about olive garden all the time. So I got you, I got you. Well, they should be

making it from scratch anyway, so maybe there's a shortage. Ah here, we did I tell you? Or did I tell you? I was saying that's what Italians are gonna say. But they all buy the premade anyway. If you ever go to Italy, there's so much premade pasta for sales, not even funny. Yeah, it's I think I posted on Twitter about it. I'm like, I just thought Grandma made at all and it's just it's like two frigging aisles in this one story. Yeah it's two. H it's

once a week. You know, we pasta like maybe twice a year. We actually make it. So it's great when you make it, don't get me wrong, Man, it is. Oh, it's it's a different experience, especially nice nice stick noodles. I like them that one. There's Italian, the Italian restaurant that I really like. Um, they make their own pasta, but only three of the pastas they make, so you got to know which ones you're ordering. But man, what a difference. If it's

fresh pasta. I love it all right anyway, Well so they're gonna write in Italy or something, Okay, but meanwhile we're here. All's good. Huh, Yeah, all's good. This afternoon. I still, like I was thinking the last couple of days, think there'll be some pop up shower thunder showers, probably from the triad at west end of the mountains, a guidance suggesting that, you know, as they try to come east, it'll be after peak heating, and they'll diminish a bit as you get toward the

triangle. So there'll be a difference if you're going west to east with that chance of showers. Better west today, warm and humid. Otherwise load amid eighties tonight the low sixties, and we'll have everybody get under the gun tomorrow in the afternoon especially, got kind of like this week, low trying to come over the top of us, and in the afternoon some widely scattered showers thunderstorms. Now it does rain for hours and hours, you know what the

drill. It rains, you get mad, and then it stops and the sun may come out and it dries out and you're like, oh, okay, it's not going to rain all day. So that's kind of what we're doing Saturday and even on Sunday. But there's less of a chance for Mother's Day Sunday, which is good news. It's still near eighty and I think early next week it's going to a pretty nice week. The first three days at least look pretty pleasant with some comfortable temperatures. Might not get out of

the low seventies on Monday, maybe a few showers. Then Tuesday, Wednesday look pretty good. Let mom know you love her, take her out for ghost on Sunday and a giant could. Probably I could. I'll have to take the mother in law. But oh, I'm not going to make the Yeah, I'm not making the eleven hundred mile trip. So all right, Well, you do what you gotta do. And if you said I will talk to you, then we'll talk to you one more time today. So

sounds good man, all right, we'll come back. Hang on celebrating ten years of keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Interesting ruling up in Virginia on Wednesday might be flying under the radar for a lot of folks. A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that federal laws requiring individuals to be at least twenty one years of age to purchase handguns are unconstitutional because the statutes and regulations

in question are not consistent with our nation's history and tradition. They therefore cannot stand, wrote US Distory Judge Robert Payne. He's a H. W. Bush appointee. Payne's ruling came in a lawsuit filed by John Frasier against the Bureau of ATF. Essentially, Fraser is rejected when he attempted to purchase a

handgun last May because he was twenty and not twenty one. Basically made the argument that if you're protecting a firearm, a firearms, a firearm, and if an eighteen year old who's an adult can which is already even of itself an age restriction, this is where I wonder if this is gonna get a little slippery. And I don't know, I don't know, but it's, you know, it's it's the kind of it's it's one of those kinds of cases that could find itself a test case moving up. And it's not the

only ruling that maybe a test case. This is why w RL is so clinchy on this. So I'm gonna I was gonna get into this with Pete just a little too uh. This more versus Harper, which is basically a jerrymandering lawsuit. Right, even though the State Supreme Court in North Carolina has revisit did decision and on another case, this one continues to be on a pathway to the US Supreme Court, and basically everybody but but more wants to

wants to pull it off the docket. And I'll tell you why. Let me explain to you why activists don't want this thing going to the Supreme Court. They don't want the Supreme Court ruling in a way where they can't file gobs of lawsuits. Right. They don't need a definitive ruling on jerrymandering, basically saying that and more specifically about legislative power, because that's a worst case scenario for them, And the way that they write this article too, it's

just garbage man. Without getting into too many of the technicalities, the case began it as an appeal of a jerrymandering lawsuit in North Carolina. They appealed arguing state courts shouldn't be allowed to rule the legislature's actions on constitutional it's a separation of powers issue. And then this line right here quote the argument based on an obscure political theory called the independence day legislature doctrine. That is not

an obscure theory. You may disagree with it. But that's not some fringe theory. That's the position of quite a few lawmakers, specifically GOP lawmakers. Is it self serving? You bet it is. Ironically, it's a theory that's been argued from the other side based on the makeup of certain legislatures. But it would require the US Supreme Court to quote undue generations of legal precedents

surrounding the idea of checks and balances, not necessarily it. Actually, this is answering a gray area, and the problem is is you're an activist group. The gray areas where you thrive. If you're looking to manipulate things right

around voting time. This is a gray area where you thrive. So if you get a definitive answer on this and it prevails in favor of GOP lawmakers in North Carolina, then filing all of these lawsuits all across the nation becomes much more difficult because there's recent precedent from the US Supreme Court on this. And I'm dumbing it down quite a bit, but that's the gist here in

my opinion. Maybe I'm totally wrong. Maybe some lawyer wants to call and correct me, and that's fine, but that's where I'm at on that real quick, Jamal. I just got about a minute, go ahead. I didn't even have that. I got thirty seconds. Hey, kay see, I just wanted to say this, this wall for them to convict, to try to charge mist opinion. But this have been going on for years. They have been trying to condition people and a lot of black folks. We

don't like this igner state in the community, our community display. But what people trying to do is normalize. It's ignors like you the last past, Jamal, Jamal, I, I just I'm sorry, man, I gotta

go to break. I got a hard break. Okay, all right, good morning everybody, and uh happy Friday eight seven now case O Day radio program Mother's Day Weekend staring at you just out just one more day, just one more day and you can go do all the Mother's Day stuff and to talk about that and much sports are radio Buddy to the South Peak calendar from mid days on WBT and via the iHeart Radio app, Like take your mom

to an abortion rally. Yeah there's options, right, I'm look, yeah, it's what a way to celebrate Mother's Day, Mother's Day weekend, you know, just it just take her to an abortion rally celebrate the quote reproductive healthcare, which spoiler alert, abortion is not reproduction. I don't know who needs to hear that, but apparently they do. You do it more than once you're reproducing the abortion, you know the Oh that's a fair point.

I hadn't considered that. So yeah, so multiple abortions is reproductive healthcare. I guess. Yeah. It's the way the left uses language like this that

you know, if you control the language, you control the debate. And they're constantly trying these different words, different um you know, branding efforts, euphemisms, right, they in order to mask what is what is occurring, right, I think that's um, it occurs in I mean illegal immigration debate, the same thing, right, You can't call them illegal aliens any longer that it became undocumented now migrants and such and like, I like unauthorized immigrants.

I think that's a fair that's a fair description. It's you know, putting commuication. You gotta go California's undocumented traveler, Oh my goodness, yeah, right, because they're they're traveling CE So well, yeah, I guess that's yeah. Well, and it like homeless, you can't say homeless right now, if you know people who are experiencing houselessness or something like that.

It's right, yeah, the constant manipulation of the language, um, and it's done in order to you know, put people on their you know, uh, on their heels, so they are constantly worried about saying the wrong thing or offending uh and thereby being on the quote, you know, wrong side of the issue or history as it were. And uh. They Once you can get people into that kind of position, then you know, you control the course of the discussion and you can lead them where you would like

to lead them. And that's precisely what the left does, particularly on the abortion topic, where you see these kinds of word games played all the time, and of course, you know, their allies in the media amplify and regurgitate the very uh, you know, presumed euphemisms as truth. Right. They just they they they part the same lines that are fed to them by the Democrats and it's it's it's super frustrating, but it's part for the course, but that's sort of the nature of the game. Right now. What

what does Cooper hope to gain from this? I mean, I would understand if there was some strategies. It just pure fundraise and pub he's I mean, he's not changing anyone's minds. No, No, I think there's um. I think there's probably some bit of a flex occurring, like, hey, I'm not a lane duck. You know. Uh see, if we can you know, mobilize the truths, maybe intimidate and bully some people, because remember, it's not stochastic terrorism when the left does it, it's totally

different. So when you whip up a mob angry about something and you catastrophize everything, you know, this is actually a ban of all abortions, when it's actually not, and it's actually a very moderate position. It's a compromised position that the Republicans have offered up and passed, and none of that matters. And I think it is fundraising, you know. I think that's the

primary benefit, is that they can fundraise off of it. But I think they also believe that this is the issue that prevented them from getting completely wiped out in the mid terms nationally. And I think and it falls under this larger heading of healthcare, which I think is why they keep saying abortion healthcare

or reproductive healthcare. They keep throwing the word healthcare in there, and I think it's because they believe that that is a winning issue for them, going back to you know, Medicaid expansion, which is now going to be off the table for them. So they have to try to connect healthcare to their electoral prospects and this is I think a way that they do it. Plus it's a way that they can try to drive a wedge between female voters in

Republican U elected officials and candidates. I think that's one of the one of the benefits they see. Well, I do love the word game man, like, you know, gender affirming healthcare is one of the other ways they like to twist that or Michael Jackson themed hungry busker right right, So, um, is anyone surprised that that brag charged that dude facing up to fifteen years he's expected to turn himself in today? This uh, this marine this penny. Yeah, And I'd like to be surprised and have the jury,

which is made up of New Yorkers who obviously are mostly Democrats. However, all so we're people who probably have been spat on on the subway. I'd love them to maybe just nullify this. Am I dreaming or for what do you think. I think you're dreaming, But man, it would be a really that would be a really cool dream, right to have the jury just be like, no, we've been on the subway. We know exactly what happened, and now he didn't do anything wrong here now and I don't know.

I don't know what the letter of the law is going to be and what they're going to prosecute. I don't don't know all the details. And I never predict jury outcomes because I'm terrible at it, So who knows what they will do. But yeah, I mean the cards are going to be stacked against him, it being a you know, a New York jury, and if Bragg tries to make this a racialized kind of crime, the uh no, no, I mean it is possible. It's possible. I mean

I do know. Did he charge any of the other people that helped? But you know, it's weird, it's weird. I earlier I was wondering the same thing allowed because remember correctly on the video, Yeah, it wasn't a bunch of white dudes, uh it was. It was it was this racial melting pot that we so often hear about that really was down there on the ground helping to restrain this guy. Yeah, like a united colors of

Benetton. Uh kind of real you know imagery there, really you know, unified in their attempt to you know, keep somebody who was saying that he didn't care if he went to jail, He didn't care if he went to jail for life. He was yelling and screaming at people and accosting them on the subway. And that's the thing, like you said, like, if you're if you are in a big city and you take mass transit, this

is a regular recurrence for you. And I heard, um there was a woman who was like, look, I got an assaulted on the on the train. Some crazy person you know, elbowed me in the face and stuff. And that's just sort of the price you pay for for living in Brooklyn. And yeah, and I'm just kind of thinking, so that's that's the tradeoff, Like that's yeah, yeah, right, Is that going to go

on the posters? Is that go on the brochure? You know, come live in Brooklyn and you know, you get the vibrant street life and simply for the price of you know, being assaulted on a regular basis. And I don't know, if that's the cell that the lefties think it is, I'm not sure. A lot of people. I know a lot of people are not interested in it. There was a story what Today about the assistant prosecutor fleeing Chicago. She's like, I'm not raising my kids in this city.

So I think people are starting to kind of wake up to this, this bargain that they have been offered, and I don't think they are interested so much in it anymore. Well, so, okay, so you have to have urine thrown on you once a year, maybe by a homeless person, but you do have access to like artists and picklers, right, So I know that's that's the tradeoff. It's riots or the the insanity there.

I don't know. I would like to think that a factors in to people's thought process, but as we've seen up in New York with the Trump Ejean Carroll stuff, and I don't know what the answer is to this pete because if if people could sit there and just go which you already kind of can, you can claim that you can't get a fair trial somewhere, and they've moved trials previously, but to the extent that if you're a Republican charged in

Washington, DC, or you're seeing on the conservative side of an issue charged in New York, you don't stand a chance. But I also don't know that you want to make it super easy to move stuff, because any criminal defendant would then ask to go see one of those woke sorrows das. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, So how do you deal with that? Well, maybe we could come up with I don't know,

like some sort of like a neutral standard. I'm just spitballing here, but maybe like we could write them down and everybody could see them in a list, and we'd like codify it, and then everybody wouldn't would they see them? Though? What if they can? I don't know, what if they're

blindfolded or something. That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, I just I feel like if we had a set of neutral rules that everybody agreed to follow, and then if you broke the neutral rules, then then you would get whatever the punishment would be it's attached to that rule, and it wouldn't matter any of those things, like your politics wouldn't matter, your race wouldn't matter, and gender like all of that stuff. We would all just kind of be equal under these codes. I think that would be a way to

equity. Mean, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a great way to Yeah, if we frame it as equity, maybe we get buy it. Oh wow, yeah yeah, I think yeah. Together and spend several months jotting this down. Yeah yeah, it seems like, um,

it seems like this could be like civilizationally relevant. Like we I think we may have I think we may have just solved like the world's problems with that if we all just have a set of rules and we all follow the neutral rules, can in a couple hundred years down the road, can we be demonized while largely ignored for accomplishing this and then demonized for everything else having to do with society at large? Yeah? Yeah, that probably is our fate,

no doubt. Good. Do you ever have those weeks on radio Pete where you just like constantly You're like, am I awake? Is this going on? I mean, I've got we've got headlines with everything, all the stories down in Texas right with Carlo. I'm calling him Carlos bigs beat because I don't like using dirtbags minds. Thank you? Where you have this this guy with the freshest of fresh tattoos. Who's on this Russian thing? And

don't worry. This media outlet, which is basically a funnel for government stuff, including the CIA actions in the past, is pulling together all of this information to rate this picture of a Hispanic whose parents don't even speak English, white supremacist who went and shot up a place but didn't kill a single black or Jewish person, And like the whole time, I'm just I have I have scars all over my skin from pinching myself. What the hell is going

on? Well, I think we have identified the second I think this is the second white Hispanic. The second white is the other one being George Zimmerman, remember from the ray Von Mark right, yes, yeah, yeah, so this may be the second white Hispanic, which I mean the right, that would make sense. It is. It is kind of comical, and I do wonder at the same thought, like, okay, so the guy, the guy's name comes out and it's and I don't say the names either,

and he has a Hispanic sounding name. I'm sorry if that triggers some people, but it is a Hispanic name, and I say, oh,

okay, well this is interesting. And of course everybody rushes to write there narrative in the immediate aftermath of these tragedies, because you know, their narratives have to be the ones that take hold and then harden and calcifying, become quote the truth, like hands up, don't shoot, and then everybody will just you know, sort of run with that forever, even if it's a legend, right, you print the legend, so the the initial aftermath you

can see the narrative being crafted. And then, like you said, like this, this social media stuff starts coming out and it's like, okay, I've never heard of. This platform in and of itself doesn't mean anything. There's lots of stuff I've never heard of. But then I see it's dot RU and I'm like, really, this is a Russian thing, and it's always the Russians, right, I'm like, oh, man, I mean,

which is kind of cool. Well, it's kind of cool because like remember when we were growing up, the Russians are always the bad guys,

the Soviets, right, they were always the new guys. And then yeah, and then and then the wall comes down and it's like okay, where some of you guys are okay and all this and then we needed, you know, somebody else to be the bad guys in all the movies and stuff, and we realize like, oh, we can't make anybody else the bad guys biggause then we're accused of racism or ethnicism or something, and so you can't do it, like you can't make like, uh, you know,

Muslim terrorists. But it was a little while. I mean there was a moment, yeah, just a brief moment, but then that gun right right, and then and then it was like, oh, backlash, We can't have these people being the bad guys anymore. So it's like, oh, then it became the breakaway Soviet Republic, right then those became like so they're terrorists but they're still white, So like that was okay. So now with the rise of the Russians again, um, we can have bad guys in

movies and not have to worry about the race card being played again. So that's pretty neat. So I welcome that aspect of it. But yes, I'm I'm I'm kind of perplexed at this guy's use of that social media and the posting of this stuff and then the fact that there was like zero engagement with any of his stuff, like nobody, not alike, not a comment, nothing, It's just it's almost as if he was screaming into the abyss

or somebody constructed the profile. I'm not saying that that's what happened. I'm just saying, well, TikTok post, I don't know if you know this. So, I mean, that's all just one like by So the Jewish woman that runs the account is a Nazi, I believe. I think that's how that works, yepp. And then what was the uh he watched a Timpool video or something? Oh? Man, that's too bad. I liked him Pool. So I guess he's canceled. I guess we can everybody's canceled.

Man, can you I can't watch him? Can you imagine how? And then real quickly just I'm sorry, I gotta do one story that's not just the most depressing crap ever. Man, Uh, well, not for us. Did you see Italy? Did you see what they're melting out in Italy? And they have like their their version of the FBI investigating no pasta shortage and the prices are up twenty percent, but the price of flower isn't up, and so there's like a big pasta conspiracy and people are hoarding pasta.

It's the most Italian story ever. Well, no, it would have to include something about like young men living with their mothers well into like their forties. I think that's who do you think it's hoarding the pasta? Why do you think MoMA have the pasta? Remember you saw the speaking of pasta. You saw that that there's the resolution of the pasta dumper up in New Jersey, right, you saw what happened. They figured I did not. I I I completely I've been I completely ignored the pasta h story at a

Jersey doing man, I'm sorry, I was looking. I was I was getting ready for the big the marathon down at the Texas border. I was waiting for the starter pistol to go off, and we were doing all the prep that went off. It went off. I don't know if you've seen, they're moving, Holy crap. Um No, So the pasta dumper I just got about a minute. The pasta dumper turned out of a sun dude. His mom died. He went into her house and she had like five

hundred pounds of pasta. She was ordin pasta, and so he just thought, yeah, it's food. So he dumped it out on the creekside and then just the moisture around there and it rained. That's what cooked did, so to speak. But now this poor dumb bastard was sitting on five hundred pounds of pasta, and now over in Italy there's a pasta shortage and they got their version of the FBI investigating. What an opportunity lost for that guy in Jersey. He could have sent him that over black market pasta and he

could have made a killing. And I'm telling you it's just one of those things where he just got a just a week What a difference. So it's like that guy who bought pizza for like one hundred bitcoins that one time. So screwed. All right, Pete calendar, we got a roll man. Thank you very much. Having a good weekend, sir. Okay, thank you, Yeah you too, Casey. All right, we'll be right back

to live. I'm your day Smarter and celebrating ten years of keeping you better informed one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk nine four five WPTI More with Casey starts now. So I thought we weren't supposed to culturally appropriate stuff. I just try to go by the rules or at the very least maliciously

comply. I only ask because there's been a lot of discussion following the unveiling of Netflix's new portrayal of Cleopatra and among the most angry egypt So I guess in that sense that would be their culture, right, maybe possibly just a little bit. Okay, Cleopatra, who was um Macedonian Greek, mostly there's a little bit of some other stuff in there, obviously was not a dark skinned woman. That's the reality of it, based on her heritage. Okay,

However, Egypt is on the African continent. This is the portrayal then that they wanted to go through, and they're already doing stuff where they're making one of the other quin which queen was it? Like they're they're they're recasting racially, recasting members of the British royal family. Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities released a statement condemning the Jada Pinkett Smith produced docuseries, claiming it doesn't

reflect history, Cleopatra light skin and Greek features. The origin statement says insisting the project should be based on historically and scientific facts. Historical and scientific facts to ensure that history and civilizations are not falsified. So as a result, the state TV for Egypt is going to do their own docuseries, except they're going to change this so that it meets the you know, the facts of

history there. And I'm just curious. This sounds like I can't think of another scenario where you could just go in and be like, nah, we're just going to do this. I don't care what your culture is. I don't care what she says, I don't care about the historical facts and go in a different direction. Right, And people have put those posters up on Twitter. I've seen I know you've seen some of the memes right where it's like twelve Years of Slave starring Ryan Gosling or roots and then you know it's

basically the brat pack in there. But you know, when Egypt's telling you it ain't right and you're going ahead in your Netflix, I don't know. I feel like this is cultural appropriation, but maybe I don't understand how it works. Maybe I'm just a big dummy. So those of you who hate me who seem to listen on Fridays, I appreciate that. I don't know what you guys are doing. The rest of the week if you're hating on somebody else. But I appreciate you listening in on Fridays. Glad to have

you sending me you're angry angry, I love it. And if you send me something that's just actually sounds like you're trying to have a discussion, I might even answer it. I know, crazy, right, So check this out, because of course you knew this was happening. AI getting reagant up. I don't think it's any big secret that the current AI that is most is most off quoted chat GPT is clearly demonstrating a liberal bias. Kyle,

do you play on the AI at all? You get on there and screw around with some of the stuff, doing searchers and whatnot all the time. Okay, I thought so. I thought Ross had mentioned that you're really into it. Would you say that there is a bias in your opinion with the chat GPT or you just not really delved into that side of it. I don't know that I've played around too much with that in terms of looking for a bias. I've seen a lot of the stuff on Twitter where folks have

asked it, you know, is it okay to be white? Is it okay to be black? And I'm familiar with the answers they've gotten there. There's just so much of how you frame these questions and the prior prompts that you give the tool. Sure, I really haven't played around looking for a bias. Well you're not using it for like anime or something, aren't you? No? Okay, good, So creepy man, are you talking about

when they they make it work with mid journey to generate the images. I'm just saying yes, but people then would and then you know what they were immediately trying to do as they were trying to do that and then make it like anime porns. So oh yeah, dude, you gotta there's some Twitter threads that I wish I would have never seen. We'll just leave it right there. So anyway, so you're aware obviously of that perceived bias, asking like, write me a poem admiring Donald Trump, Write me a poem admiring

Joe Biden. One it will one, it won't. Tons and tons of examples. Well, now they've unveiled a new AI tool that's right created Tusk browser. That's the browser tusk like an elephant tusk, and it includes an AI tool known as Gipper. The tool nicknamed in honor of Ronald Reagan. The bot uses chat GPT technology but has been modified in programmed to act conservative.

The look at this rather than just striving for something that is a perfection of non bias, where it treats everything it gets in in the same way when it puts it out. Now, I understand you're talking about AI, so you want it to evolve on stuff. But I told you, if if the one that gets adopted and is utilized the most has that liberal bias, then it just it's gets so much harder to undo. But I don't know if maybe you'll have more fun with the Gipper answering questions for you.

I'll tell you what's gonna happen is moonbats are gonna go in. They're gonna ask it questions to try to try to get it to say something that they can claim as racist, Oh yeah, just wait for it, or or transphobic. I think that's probably the one they'll go, you know, because lastly, Gipper, how many genders are there? And as soon as it spits two out, they'll lose They're flipping minds, and then you'll see the same stuff that you saw thrown on Twitter, but kind of from the reverse.

Let's see here, AI designers created Tusk. The AI tool attached to Tusk, which is an Internet browser, is Gipper. We believe the conservatives are subject to oppressive cancel culture that now includes AI, and are expected to exist in a society that tells them what to think and act by the progressive

left, said Tusk founder and CEO Jeff Bermant. It's time for a truthful AI chatbot to take to the market by store, take the market by storm, and remove the barriers the radical left to big tech have put in place. So that's a thing that's an option. So a Gipper, by the way, is kind of abbreviated, and the spell is gippr. There's no other vowel there, just gippr. If you want to google that, and

I think you need the Tusk browser. I have not played with this thing, but I did find it kind of interesting because now all of a sudden everyone's got their AI working. Isn't that weird too? Like everyone's were, well, we're working on AI for years, and then like in like a few months, everyone's got there's market ready, totally alien technology anyway, eight forty three Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. He's here using alien technology,

pictures from space, uses pictures from space. I enough pictures are a fair word. Oh is he not there yet? Roh row? I hit him too. All right, Well, we're gonna sit here and we're gonna wait on him like you're waiting for your you know, your kid's supposed to come out because you're picking him up from school. You're just sitting there waiting, waiting, staring off into the abyss, waiting for Race Stagic. But I'm here, Oh hey there, y'all. Yeah, Well, you know,

sometimes they getting hung up. I do an old colleague of mine belie even or not call me, and I used to work with like twenty yeah, about twenty years ago. So it's like I gotta go. I gotta go. But yet people that's hard to get off the phone. So I'm sorry, I mean, like ruin your rep They saved? Did I fall for hitting me on time today? So did I? Did I mentione? You saved me? Oh? Yes, yes, you were all good man. The weather is pretty good too, as it's uh gonna stay dry for most

of us. M last couple of days been mentioning west and probably from the Tryad west into the mountains. Isolated late day showers, thunder showers this afternoon early tonight. That's probably going to happen, but most of us probably don't get much rain load. A mid eighties even take us through the weekend,

little community around two. But I think everybody is going to get a few showers thunderstorms as we go through Saturday and Sunday, with a better chance being Saturday, which is good since its Mother's Day, and then some dryer air getting in here. Next week we are heading into the Atlantic hurricanes. He's and I can't believe it already. And I don't know if you caught the

conundrum yesterday, Casey. I mean, I know you're always glued to the weather channel, cable network, um when you get off the air, But did you I have yah to sit at home with that apparatus attached to my face with that weather channel. I know that's exactly what you do. But

quickly, a couple of things. The most strange thing, in my opinion, that happened yesterday is that they went back and analyzed the storm in January that we were talking about, and they actually slapped a label on it yesterday of subtropical storm. They didn't give it a name, which would be the A Storm or lean um, but it did get t TD status and it's

it's confusing. But the message that I'm going to relay is that you may see that we have had a subtropical storm, and sometimes they give them names, but they didn't for this one. So long story st the nerdiest a controversy exactly heard exactly there's about it. Then there's not a single person that's ever talked to a woman involved in this discussion, is there No? I mean, you're relaying information, you're not at the meat of this. But

whoever's debating ad back in the back rooms. Right. So here's what happens when we get the next disturbance, at least the way I understand it, and I could be wrong. So let's say we get a tropical depression, right, it would be t D two, but if it does get a name, it would be the A Storm. So that's kind of the whole systems. Throw it away. We're done, and they're gonna start issuing tropical outlooks here in a couple of days May fifteenth, that's earlier than they have

in the past. Usually they start them with the beginning of the hurricane season the Atlantic, So visionist history on y tropical storm. This is where we are. So now, if you're not confused up, we'll be sure to confuse you even more as we get into great perfect can't. You're welcome bring out a good week right now, we meet that, all right, Thank you for having a good weekend, and we'll come back chat with Jeff Belinger next, a new decade on the calendar and celebrating ten years on the air.

This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and near's talk nine four five WPTI in the Triad. All right, eight fifty two Bloomberg Update, now, Jeff Belinger, what's happened well the morning case The stocks were mixed yesterday. Futures are pointing higher this morning. The Dow futures are up one hundred eleven points. Optimists in Washington say the postponement of a high level meeting on the debt ceiling maybe a positive development. At President Biden and

how Speaker Kevin McCarthy were scheduled to meet again today. That's been put off until sometime next week. The whole is that this is an indication staff level talks in making headway and aids to the two leaders will continue their discussions. Southwest Airlines pilots authorized to strike. There's frustration over the pace of contract negotiations, and pilots were virtually unanimous in giving their union leaders their backing should they

decide to call for a walk out. The vote does not mean a strike will begin soon. Airline labor negotiations or subject to the Railway Labor Act, and a strike would not be legal until several conditions are met. A Twitter posting by Elon Musk said he's chosen a CEO to run the short messaging service and that she will start in about six weeks. Musk did not identify his choice, but The Wall Street Journal has reported that Linda Jakarino, currently an

executive at NBCUniversal, has been in talks to become the Twitter boss. Tesla's tweaked the US prices of its electric vehicles again, this time making them more expensive. In the third change in less than a month, Tesla raised the price of its Model X modelsque Base and Plaid evs by one thousand dollars. It added two hundred fifty dollars to the price of the model. Y Lift is still making tweaks to its business model, looking to be more competitive with

Uber. The latest change is to discontinued share rides. A Lift CEO David Risher says, the problem with shared trips is that they take people out of their way, and a Casey, it's good to fly first class if you can afford it, and the airlines are making it even better. Some carriers first class cabins resemble many hotel rooms now. They have sofas, double beds, televisions, desks, wardrobes, and mini bars. Some even have showers.

The airlines just betting Casey that more well to do customers will be willing to splurge on travel after being grounded so long during the pandemic. Casey, Okay, well, they've definitely got the prices to match the words splurge, because yes, they do nuts right now. So all right, thank you much, appreciate it. Having good weekend, sir, You do the same. Talk to you Monday. All right, there you go, Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News joining us. I'm not sure how you think this is gonna

go, sir, but that's okay. Police say a man held two women hostage? And where's this? Lincoln, Nebraska? A man held two women hostage Thursday? During an armed standoff? What's he armed? With a stick of dynamite? Dispatchers were notified by passers by that a man was holding two women hostage in a car. The caller told authorities the man was threatening to detonate a stick of dynamite if anyone got too close. Then the vehicle started

driving around. I don't know if he's driving or the one of the woman's driving, but whatever. The eventually deputy stopped the vehicle and they were able to talk the dude down from it. How do you think that's gonna go? I mean, they're probably not gonna shoot at you. So there's that. What was the they portrayed it in a movie or there was a story. I remember reading a story about somebody who shot a guy who was wearing a suicide vest over in a rack Afghanistan. He was Afghanistan and you ended

up detonating something on there. Try and remember where I read that. There was video, That's why people were all freaked out. But yeah, so stick of dynamite. I'm glad it came to a fine conclusion. But I mean, what is he like if if you're gonna then use it, Let's say that you're gonna use it on the officer. I'm not encouraging you to do that. You gotta get the lighter out of your pocket, you gotta light the thing, you gotta throw the thing. I'm huming that that was

the detonation, uh methodology being a standard stick of dynamite. So I don't know, or do you get one of those long fuses right and it's burning, burning, burning, but you got your fingers wet and you're just kind of waiting. I don't know how to properly do that. But however he did it, he ended up getting taken into custody. So there's there's that also apparently. Uh oh geez, yeah, I'm not gonna be able to fit that in. I was gonna try to jam this one other story in

here. We'll save that for Monday. You know the Jeremy's chocolates. Do you know what those are? So that's Jeremy uh what's his name? Boring or whatever? From Daily Wire. When Hershey's was doing all their shenanigans, they put out some chocolate bars and they had he hymns and she hers and ones had nuts and ones didn't. I remember that, all right, So some college professor, well I'll just real quick, I'll do this. I'm

already into it. A college professor at a community college in California and Fresno has been put on leave and is under investigation because done did it done? Among an offering of candy that he had in his classroom, he had some of these little chocolate bars, which apparently were very popular. However, one of the students noticed on the chocolate bar that they were described as a he hymn bar which had nuts and she hers that didn't, and conniption fit ensued,

reported and now they're investigating. So ironically, everyone kind of seemed to like the chocolate. So there's that, all right, Have a good weekend, everybody, see you back here bright and early Monday.
