Friday-4-18-2025

and you're like that's a good Friday. Like that's not good, right, and then like you know, it has they have to explain it to you because you're a kid, and that's how you process things. Because for a while, I'm just like all Fridays are good. Ross you're a fan of Fridays just in general, right, most people.

boom eventually the weekend. I don't think that's exactly how it happened, but okay, because again you're a kid trying to make sense of this thing. And I literally thought, I'm I literally thought that for a while we just had one day off at the end of the week, and then this is how we ended up with two even though it's kind of not really the thing there, but in a way, all right, Democrats will say unions did it. Eight year old me thinks Jesus did it,

So who's wrong? I don't know. I'll let you make up your mind, but that will mean a slight little change. Race Stagic too good to be with us, Jeff Bellinger. There's no markets open, so we can't even ask him our awkward question of the day, so we got that

going for us anyway. Otherwise, good morning, and probably look elsewhere for why it's called good Friday, because I don't I don't think I'm one hundred percent accurate there, but it is funny what we believe is as kids, man, and I think I probably there was prompting from an older cousin on that because he used to like to steer me into things he knew what irritate my parents later, which I can totally appreciate. All right, eight eight eight

nine three four seven eight seven four. What is this? What? You're not here? You're not here on Monday? Ross? Is that? Oh that's just Boston, Paul? Why Boston, Paul? Why do you get to litter my email? Monday is Dingus Day, the largest celebration in Buffalo. What is that is? What is this thing? This Dingus Day in Buffalo? Ross is from Buffalo? All right, I'm not you know what. I'm not even gonna look that up because we're here today

and we'll be here Monday. I'll tell you when we won't be here, just for your future planning events for you know stuff people like you have those like the big calendar or whatever. We're not gonna be here Cinco to my or excuse me, yes, Cinco de Mayo and then the whole week. But don't read anything into that. It's it was pre planned, so okay, all right, which means we're just gonna have to slog through today and

we'll get you. We'll get you into the weekend, and Jeff Maher will be filling in for race, so well, we'll be able to get you some weather for the weekend and that is what's important. All right, coming up on the show, we're doing the Mineral the Mineral deal again. That's apparently back on, so that's good. We've got a school choice update from Well, I would argue one of the very important states, you know, for the second most

students of any state in all of America. And it's weird because I've been told the last few election cycles they were flipping this state purple and then blue and it just keeps reddening. So that's really weird. And uh we will, uh we will get into that because some of the Democrats down in Texas are not doing so well, and uh, I want to play their audio because that's

how we roll. And uh one of my favorite stories in a while, one of my sports stories in a while, Ross, were you inspired when you uh we were putting the prep together yesterday and you put this inspiring football story together of people sitting down and reading the x's and o's and trying to figure out how to best put their football club into uh into uh a successful model.

description to something else one outside the box thinker. You know, leave it all out on the field, so to speak, ideologically, and unfortunately, some some some you know, you know, you surround yourself with people that are kind of negative, right, like you have a vision, you have an idea, and they're just like, I don't think we should do that. What if it doesn't work? Manh Yeah, that nobody nobody

achieved anything with that attitude. You had to go out, you had to be you had to break barriers, man. And honestly, if they'd implemented this thing that I'm gonna tell you about, I don't know, even probably as as recently as like the eighties, uh, it probably wouldn't go anywhere because it would then just become part of the game. But you can't have football without the tossing of and you'll learn what it is. But no, no, we're we're so deep into this thing. We've gotten so pc on

other stuff. I don't know that they'll ever get around to it. And in a way, it's you know what it is. It's it's like what Peter Dinklage did to all those actors just wanted to just wanted to eat, want to survive in Hollywood, and he got his bag, and now nobody gets any of theirs. Well what about the what about the folks who can't act, who are also the height of Peter dinklish? How does that work?

You can't act? There's only so many times you can be like a nonverbal you know, uh, skipping down the yellow brick road cast member or you know, whatever the production is. We have kind of a cattle call for a bunch of little people. No no, And there was a guy, not a little person himself, who was willing to innovate on their behalf. And now people are hating and it's not okay. So uh well we'll throw that out there. Uh and uh much more, let me do this.

We'll go ahead and hit the Brake and uh, we'll come back, got lots of audio for you, Pete calendar. He'll join us at eight o five and uh well, t he's like his jihad right now is that they're uh calling the women astronauts. That's like his hill to die on. He won't go there. So uh yeah, good man, we'll get into that.

is Friday, pooh. You know, it's one of these things too where I'm like, yeah, I'm sure a lot of people have probably thought of it, but the fact that it is it has become legend enough since his passing. This is a former Texas tech head coach, Mike Leach, who was quite a character man, and there was always a rumor floating around, And in this instance, it became more than a rumor because there were now multiple people willing to talk about this because you can't cancel him

because he died two years ago. Okay, but it's gonna make a lot of sense when I lay out what's going on here. And I don't like the way the headlines. I'll read you the headline, which would give it away, but I don't like the way that it's worded, like who is what's up with the supporting staff? All?

I know what you're thinking. You're like, Oh, it's just like this, give them a little boost, right. You get a full back behind the running back, and then the running backs the little person, and then the full back of the quarterback, just like no, no, no, no, no, no no this I want you to understand how highly specialized and how game planned. Mike Leach put this out because he realized that would not be the most advantageous situation

because you would not have maximum velocity. So what Mike Leach allegedly proposed was was described best as a helicopter toss. And then I had to read into that. So you know, the another track and field guy, ROSSI ran track and field. What's the event with the ball on a chain and you spin around and there's the hammer throw? Right? Well? The hammer throw?

direction you're wanting to throw it. So it's like not just any jibbroni off the street can do it. So much like like an NFL long snapper, there's going to be an extra skill set that one has to develop.

And in case people think it's just an end around on you know, the rest of the football operation, I would point out that you're gonna need an immense amount of blocking right so that you have time to make the rotations with your short yardage play backfield player specialist so that you can achieve maximum velocity because if not,

then why are you even doing it? And if you don't get him high enough at at the correct launch angle, And by the way, I'm sitting here and I'm saying him, what a wonderful opportunity for all of you who wanted to see women in the NFL, right, because at that point, it's just it's really about who's light enough to uh to toss for mashimum amount of yardage. And apparently his staff talked him out of it, but I don't know, smells like a loophole to me. Smells like a loophole

to me. It gets that builds the ring ross you arguing, no, not at all.

hour out there. You're not getting any yards. So no, it's not just some random drunken bachelor party from the nineteen nineties where you could literally have like that, get the velcrow a dartboard thing, and then hire people, which of course then activists put out of business as evidence in like Wolf of Wall Street would be a good example of that. Right, this is not that this is

not every man just you know, having that hole. This is somebody who has to train, which means you're gonna need practice squad people that are roughly the same weight so that you know you don't risk injury of your star, but also allow the launcher or whatever you would deem that position to go ahead and be the best in the business.

in the air like it's a gymnastics conversation competition. But that's on the defensive side. If you make it aok for offense, there are there are there are plenty of rules where once I can do the thing, the other can't in certain situations. Okay, those are very it's a specialty play. And remember the person you're launching, they have to be able to hold out of the ball. So it's not like it's you know, it's not like there's

it's it's not a tangible skills based position. And every time you bring that person into the backfield, you're kind of tipping your hand, do you know what I mean, like they kind of know what's up, Like, what are you all right? So we're gonna is it a reverse? Is that what we're gonna do? Because that's the thing the Vikings started doing on for like fourth and short plays. That made me just want to bang my head into

the wall. So no, you're like, oh, okay, well number whatever's in a number, whatever happens to be the toss. E I think we're gonna I think we're gonna go ahead and guard against the toss. And by the way, is it just football that benefits from this, I would I would profer that it is not. Some sports. It may work some it may not Baseball, I don't really, I can't think of a good reason for it. But basketball, how would you like to have the you know, next

year's dunk champion be three foot tall? Eat your heart out, Muggsy Bogues. Just guys, don't you know? Well alley oop there from but you don't. You don't have to alley oop to anybody, now, Ross thought I meant that Shaq would hold him and then and dunk him as well. That is not what I meant. No, but rather, you know, we can't. Nobody can get in, you know, get down low on the whoop, but this guy no.

people are annoyed by him. I don't know his shick, but he thought it would be funny at the last UFC to go and knock candy out of Shack's hands and it's like spilled on his legs and stuff, and Shack straight up looked like he wanted to murder that dude. And they were like trash talking with the UFC thing. I mean, think think about the stone owns it takes to go knock food out of Shaq's hands. And this dude's like, I'll do that for clicks and conflict and

you know eventually where we are here. Yeah, I was running through the list of sports. Uh, Hockey, No, not really unless unless you're gonna do like a curling motion, but probably not golf, No, not really, but you know, like basketball is the one where there might be some ancillary help there, but football really is the reason for the season. If you and by the way, if you know nothing about Mike Leach and you've never watch you never back in the day watched one of his press conferences.

This dude was great. Like this dude the type Mike Leach fake opening script story, which is confirmed, by the way. Check that out and you'll go ahead and you'll get yourself a little insight into how much this dude enjoyed messing with people. His press conferences were kind of legendary. So we'll leave it there, all right, eight eight eight nine four seven eight seven before. Yeah, that's how. That's how I opened the show today. It's Friday, says the day you do things like this. We did Friday.

super pissed they canceled the event. He was like, I want you to keep throwing me off the stage.

ply his thing right. He's not getting Peter dinkld Game of Thrones money. No, he's got to go. He's got a tour. That's it. By the way, if you ever wonder if an artist is just killing it on their own and if they tour, I mean sure, just just know that for a lot of artists they have no choice but to tour.

in it. But that being said, I've never seen a celebrity have more women all over them than we man that night, and like attractive women, Like it was so super strange. We were in VIP. It was upstairs like they're for this club. What was the club, the Vortex.

It's called the Vortex and upstairs and the third floor was the VIP area and we man comes in there and he looks at the women and he just goes he motions with his top to pull his top up and he goes show show him to me, and I'm like, this is crazy, And every single woman in the vi P looks at him and and does it every single and hip. Yeah, like this guy's powers, dude, that's why you were playing with man? Just for the visual freebies.

What is the word the kids use like the riz. Yeah, this guy just swimming in it.

that day. That is awful. Speaking of awful, I tend again, I tend to, although this is going to be different, I tend to when it's the families of people who are involved in big, high profile stories, I tend to understand that emotions are going to drive a lot of the decisions that are made there and so I try not to be critical. Yeah, obviously your kid in retrospect probably should not. Who's, by the way, not a kid anymore in most of these circumstances, even though that's the

photo you're using. You know, maybe they should have showed their hands or not, you know, held a weapon in their hand too long, or attempted to grab an officer's weapon that escalated into some you know, one of these stories that's the next civil rights blockbuster, which are becoming less and less thanks to all these body cams. I

think that's pretty clear. But like so, I'm sitting there and you know, I see this stuff, and it has to do with the parents of the parents of this this kid in Frisco, this seventeen year old accused of stabbing the other seventeen year old in the heart and killing them, and all the crazy stories that are coming out of escalate purchases and mansion moves and all of that, because that's the money. No, no, no, it's the sheer audacity of it. Shows you the type of lawyer the

family has chosen. Even though they had the means to go hire a really good, not showboat lawyer, they instead decided to settle on these uh, these civil rights lawyers who all think that this is the next great civil rights thing. And when when you're in that mindset and you're willing to say whatever, because it's about the shock value as to how you're doing things, like the things

you'll say openly are pretty crazy. But yet we have now one of the lawyers for the family who was responding to the father of the victims showing up to a memorial thing or to a rally, and like most every other lawyer I could possibly think of, I'm assuming not a lawyer would sit there and go all right, just don't acknowledge it, or maybe say, you know, maybe say something where you're like, I understand the pain you're going through, and you know, we just we just want

the truth, and we're gonna go ahead and go for the truth and just leave it at that. That is not the direction that the family and their lawyers chose to go in yesterday. And it's pretty awful. So we'll dive into that first thing. We'll do that next here on the CaCO Day radio program. It's all kicks off April second. April second, so about two weeks removed. That is the date on which Texas high school athlete Austin Metcalf was stabbed in the chest to the track meet.

And you know, I think we've done a pretty fair job of really kind of waiting for the information to flesh out and presenting it to you. I know a lot of people have already locked into some pretty pretty substantial positions here, and there's a lot of hypocrisy. I understand that, right. But the gist of it was when you read the witness statements and you read the police report, the Carmelo Anthony, not the one who played for the Nuggets.

This guy was inside another team or another school's tent area a seating area there, and the one of two twins, although both were there. I was like, hey man, this is not your spot. And then, according to the description of how it went, the guy's like, well, what are you gonna do? You make me move? A good idea? Do that? Find out what happens, which is, by the way, really normal high school stuff, right. That's dudes learning how to square up to each other. That's an unremarkable thing

it has become. Back in my day, it might lead to a few punches being thrown, but it would be one on one nobody'd be jumping in and likely they'd break it up as soon as somebody took some real damage, and then you know, you might get in trouble, or if nobody saw it, you wouldn't and then that was it. And then that's just how it would how it would

have gone. But no, this case obviously took a much more tragic turn, one that required somebody to bring a weapon on the school property, which is already problematic, but also utilize that weapon after the first escalation. Like, I'm a big proponent when I watch these videos on the internet that if you're the first person to put hands and then you get a you get a fist full of uh, you know, to the face. I mean like, well,

you kind of earned that. But then that's it. I don't I don't wish you anything beyond that, other than maybe you rethinking putting your hands on people now in this situation, it's not that necessarily if the hands on first came from the victim that it was that you have to you have to convince yourself that he was fearing for his life there. And I don't know how

fear fool you are. You can't blame the numbers or any of the rest where you're essentially going, I wish, I wish a m ef or would like if that's your response, it's it sounds like you're you're you're there for at least that part of it. And so all of these other ancillary stories where he was provoked there was a history. The one I saw I was like, oh, this was his bully. Well, they didn't know each other, they didn't go they didn't know each other at all.

They never met each other, and you could see in the press conference they laid this thing out. Well, Uh so Austin Metcalf's father, heard that they were having, uh press release or a press conference and some sort of a rallying thing. Remember there's all these fundraising efforts going on, and he decided he was going to show up to the press conference, not to run up on stage and throw glitter or screaming a bullhorn, but just to be there.

And I can't, for the life of me understand the decision by the family's attorneys for Carmelo Anthony to acknowledge there and do so in this way.

I just saw this thing. All right, I'm gonna send it to you here and if this delivers on what the headline, because I literally saw it right as I'm coming back if it delivers on the headline, which I'll tell you about here in just a moment. I want to get this to the ross here do d ad Okay, I am one hundred percent here for it. All right, that is on the way. Let me let me share with you this. So apparently the DoD has released the military has released a new ad uh and this is

the American Warrior. Right, so if you remember what heg Seth was talking about, but really kind of the push of the Trump administration was to concentrate on lethality, which is a great word that you know, it's now all in everybody's wheelhouse. But basically, are our soldiers in the best position because again because people think the lethality is just about the ability to kill people, and that the court is, but also it's you want people to go

I'm not even screwing with them. That's the goal. That's the goal. And look, there's some you'll never convince like the Hooti's right. These guys get you know, tricked in having a big group outdoor meeting standing in a circle so that they can get effectively missiled all at the same time, and they just keep it coming right, I'm not just not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about other folks. I'm talking about China. Who would you know, at any point would go, you know what, this is

a trade war. Now it's a real war. And if you think those things don't happen, I would I would suggest you look at World War two. Essentially it was a trade It was a trade dispute that was one of the big escalators for why Japan thought that that was a good idea, which is insane in retrospect. So yeah, but not just an ad focusing on the American warrior, but one that also mocks the our diversity is our strength. That is that is some top tier stuff right there,

my man? All right, well we'll get into that just a little more. Grab a quick phone call here, Yes, Donna, what's up?

And as I understand his position, and it's an interesting one, is if you have a general distrust of government, now you have a possibility where government, using all of the powers and force, the government can provide and seek your death. And that's a very powerful thing. And you know what that is. That is how you argue and debate an issue like that. Because he does of people going, well, I don't trust the government. I saw what they did with Jay six. Or should I trust them when they

want to execute somebody? And and like, those are good conversations to have this lawyer down in Texas. And I was talking to another radio guy who has got his own lawyer friend down in Texas. Like the other lawyers, including one of my buddy's firm, they like approached them,

and the firm did not want to do it. And then they heard that they were getting civil rights lawyers and they're like, now nobody will work with him who is a legitimate defense because they realized the motivation of the lawyers now is not what is in the best interest of their client right, but rather what's in the best interest of the narrative, and that's where we're gonna

end up with this stuff. So probably not. All right, you guys address your cat up in like a little Pope pat today or what do you do?

all need some thorz. What the hell is going on here? Think you pos to think about some of this stuff? All right. I have not even heard this ad yet. I just saw the description. Does it payoff? All right? So this is the new ad from the DoD and if it literally does touch on that diversity is our strength line that is a top tier. Here we go, we're listening to it all together for the first time.

the very thought of going to war with us? So you choose not to, which frankly is a really good thing, right. I know, people they go, oh, that just it allows you to be authoritarian around the world. Well, sometimes we're just the biggest, well every time technically from the numbers. But like, is it some sort of weird flex that Jamaica isn't going to declare war on the US. I'm just picking on Jamaica, but I mean, just from a

number standpoint, No, this is reality. That's just reality. My friends. Hell, just whenever they got just military hardware stood deployed in southern Florida would be enough to end that in the day. That's a good thing. I don't know. I don't know how you eliminate it from the from the list there. So yeah, I'm I'm perfectly fine with the direction they're going here. One all right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Apparently there's some big thing.

I don't know what it is, and maybe it's not a big thing, but like, is there some like weird David hog kinky story getting ready to come out? I hate putting all those words into one sentence, but like

dudes trying to get ahead of something. And now there's like internal warfare with James Carvill and David Hogg, which is that that meme, that god Zilla meme where you're like, let him fight right, No love loss there, but it is a real directional struggle within the Democrat Party because Hog is the vice chair of the party and Carville

is clearly old guard of the party. I don't know that there's older old guard than Carville, just being on the political scene from the left and apparently they are not fans of each other, and I think it points to what direction what is the party as a whole going to take away from the last election. And if you're David Hogg, probably not a lot of useful lessons if he gets his way. So but hey, if you want to root for the destruction of both sides, fine at least let me lay out the details coming up

on the CaCO Day radio program. Then there's a lot to like here. But also I try to analyze these things too as to a non as to be in a non biased position. We're refuge when reviewing it. Obviously I have opinions, but like I try to take a step back and think, Okay, is this of all the options that they have, is it's probably the best thing for them? If so, or if not? Why so I

can do that. So I saw James Carvill losing his damn mind in an interview I think it was on News Nation too, right, which is you know, definitely, definitely if you're gonna throw beef about internal Democrat squabblings, that's

gonna be an audience that's gonna lap that up. So he's sitting there and he's talking about David Hogg, and this is after Hogg announced that as his in his new role as vice chair of the National Party, one of the things he's going to be doing is creating and funneling money a fund and then funneling money to

incumbent Democrat primary challenges. Right, So you know that always gets you know, whenever we make fun of Tom Tillis on this radio, which is so easy to do when you know you're that's your target, right, like listen to the dude or you know those times he murdered the kids as slender Man, his alter ego. And but inevitably I'll get an email and they're like, yeah, but you know, if you're primary him, then Roy Cooper's gonna win the seats. He just can't do it. I'm like, well, that's that's

obviously defeat us. Sir, do you think that Tom Tilli is the only person who could beat Roy Cooper potentially? And maybe maybe the answer is yes, because the power of incumbassy is a thing. But Hogs like nah Man, what we gotta do is we need to funnel like twenty million bucks, which goes a lot further in a

primary than in a general election. Right, You're gonna get a lot of bang for twenty million bucks man, and we're gonna get some of these old guard, more moderate Democrats out so that we can get a bunch of AOC's in there. And that's the hogs all in on it, and that's where then the analysis has to be, is

that really the smart move for the party? Who's got you know what twenty percent approval rating as a party for twenty one, I guess was the last number I saw, where largely it appears that a lot of the quote unquote mushy middle people moved to the right, probably for some of your more extremist positions. And David hogs all in, so I understand why Carville's looking at it, going this is the dumbest thing ever, But of course he's got to say it in his own little way.

paid to run against other Democrats. I think it's an outbreak. I'm I don't know if I have standing, but I might give the DMC ten dollars and consue him.

just somebody doing his thing. But like with David Hog, it cements the idea that he's probably as insufferable even if you're quote unquote with him, right and and and that's good because you know those people, they're just even when they're even when they'reup there saying what you think, like I hate that guy talking about this, uh, this, this Van Holland trip, although yesterday is really where it culminated.

So you had the Senator for Maryland very publicly talk about how he was going to go to l Salvador and he was going to meet with this quote Maryland man who was deported because there's no other descriptors to attach. And you know he's fighting the good fights, fighting Trump Man, and then it was just clown show. He flies all the way to El Salvador and he gets there and

they don't tell him until he gets there. Yeah, you can't meet with him unless and this is literally the vice president of El Salvador to his face, unless you have a note from the president. We need a note from your dad. So we speculated, well, what would Van Holland do? Right, go over to the maybe one of the handful of resorts they have there on the Pacific side. Maybe get a chance to explore some of the historical settlements that exist in El Salvador. There are a couple there.

Maybe go check out the volcanoes they got some of those. No, no, none of that. He was not dissuaded. And I love, love, love, love, love love his bounce back plan here. It is bart is just.

I think the problem is there are not enough federally elected Democrats down there. In fact, ross I was doing

the math here. I think what we need is what was the number, oh all of them to go to El Salvador this weekend and stand in solidarity there, and I hope, hope, hope that while you are all in l Salvador, that the administration doesn't become aware of the potential of some sort of easily transmitted respiratory virus perhaps from the Salvador area or the triangle as they call it there with the three countries, which would then preclude the travel of anyone who's been there of coming back

to the US for public safety, right, because you wouldn't want everyone to get the you know, the coughs, right, especially as an elected official, Why would you want to bring that back to foist upon your constituency. So yeah, get them all down there, get a big Kumbaya photo op, and then mystery respiratory virus. Nothing we can do tell you what, We'll just take fifteen days to think about it. But we couldn't possibly repatriate you right now. Just have

to chill down there. How long, Well, we'll tell you fifteen days, but how about I don't know, two years, yesh. I give for the kids, remember, just for the safety of the kids and the family and everybody else. And hey, since you're already over there and they have groups sleeping options that would be very convenient in those rooms that have sixty four bunks to a room, get a few of those. You got Congress all handled be like a big slumber party without air conditioning in the middle of

the jungle. So I have fun with all of that. So yeah, I like your stick to itiveness, sir, And I think that's absolutely positively how you got to go with this thing as a totally unbiased outside advisor just trying to help you politic I think that's that's the direction you want to go. Okay, all right, very good, speaking of people that might be ending up sleeping in a prison. So this dude was getting some pub yesterday.

I'm calling him Captain Bunny ears Ross. Did you see the guy's profile photo with this PhD student where he's wearing like free ears on his head.

hands dirty. I don't think this du dude wants to get in one fight with anybody, but he sure wants them to happen. Nicholas Decker, a PhD student at George Mason University or PhD candidate I guess that's the term at George Mason University, had finally had enough. He had he had hit the end of his rope, His TDS had boiled over, and so he decided to not just write a whole web article about it entitled when must

we Kill Them? Which is a little innocuous, right, because that could be that could be like somebody calling for essentially genocide all the way down to how to how to treat those tiny ants that invade your kitchen as things get warmer, not the ones you can see, of the ones you almost can't see, Like, where the hell are those guys all the rest of the years? What's going on there? Why is there a billion in my kitchen right now? And then like when should we kill them? Well?

That's now, that's a home improvement article. Unfortunately for Decker, he yielded not quite into genocide, but into this in both an article and then eventually a post on Twitter which got added to the FBI and Secret Service a million times. He wrote, the ultimate source of political power is and always will be violence. If the president administration should continue on its course, there is no choice but war. I say this out of sorrow. When must we kill them? Well?

Alrighty then? And also I also love the part where essentially his beasts with Trump are all hallmarks of the Biden administration. That's not lost on me. But yeah, he

threw this thing up there. I guess. I guess he probably doesn't want to be a George Mason University PhD student, because he's literally in this talking about the rationale which he clearly thinks is there because he keeps saying things like if they don't change course, So if they just stick to literally doing the things that voters elected him to do, that's good enough to go start a fool

on war. Are you ready for this? And I don't want to just discount it too, because it's not all lunatics and Bunny Years that are going to get one shot and should you know that ro Shambeau ever break out, but rather there are a lot of very violent people that are very good at being violent within the ranks of the the militant far left. So I mean the their stick to itiveness and trying to burn that federal building down was one hundred nights in a row and

he didn't get this wayed. He just kept coming back, all right. But I don't think I don't this is you know this this whole Uh? Do you think this is a flex and intimidates people? Will you just wait? You just wait till me and my friends who probably also posing Bunny Years for a profile, You just you

wait until we get enough. Remember that video of where they had like leftists these like and they're all like real thin leftists who were out like combat training in the Woods, except it where it was far sadder than even that Venezuelan Special Forces video, which we all laughed at hilariously on the show for quite some time. One day, Yeah, they're like, oh, we're out there. You don't want to

meet these fists. I'm like, I would I know if I met that fist, or would I just hear a cracking sound in my periphery of your hand all being broken at the same time, Because I feel like there's a possible especially if I had a couple, might be the second one. But now this guy's like, all right, we don't have a choice if they do things like jail their political opponents. Huh so ready to go to war for that? Oh now you are okay. You weren't before, but now you are okay. Good. So the whole things

are crazy. Read man, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna read it a little manifesto, but you get the gist of what was going on there, and it doesn't appear to be going well for him, judging by some of these changes people were posting with the university there not so impressed. All right, seven forty four, We're not all special, like mister Stagic so we're here, we're doing our thing, and Jeff Maher from the Weather Channel is here to help us do it. Jeff, how you doing today, sir?

Doing wonderful? How are you like? How do you got to be a chief meteorologist to get all this time off?

sixty one. How about a high of eighty nine tomorrow with sunshine and then clouds rolling Tomorrow night was still dry with the low sixty four. The Outloy for Easter on Sunday. A mix of clouds and sunshine. Still on the warm side, up to eighty eight and partly it's mostly cloudy Monday or behind your eighty seven degrees.

this planet that could feasibly it's within the realm. This is different what their claiming is going on here, but also reminded me of something, so we'll get into the next Here on the CaCO Day Radio program, a goofy story that some guy in Florida's last name is Cocaine. We're just here to mock that dude, Okay, but I'm

talking things, right. I have to assess what I really feel about it, and sometimes I'm not able to in the proper sense because it's not a thing that I've ever dealt with, or have any familiarity with, or a situation that Frank I, you know, it is profoundly and currently problematic for me. So but I still try to

think it through, and sometimes I get it wrong. So I saw a story earlier this week where a couple was complaining that some of their fellow hotel guests called the police on them, and I listened to it, I'm like, yeah, maybe they shouldn't have called the police on these people.

Is what they're doing really that wrong? And I was actually surprised that I ran up by Ross and he's immediately, now, you didn't say called the police, but immediately you disagree with the parent's decision to leave their kid where they left their kid, right, I'm gonna give the details here. Oh yeah, I couldn't approach it from a parent standpoint

because I don't know. But the story is this, So they're staying at a hotel and the hotel has a restaurant in the lobby, okay, like a bar restaurant, you know, just a standard I don't know if it's a Marriott or whatever. But so they're staying there and they have their they have their baby and so they go up

to the room. They get one of the cribs too, right, you get the baby crib there from some hotels, and they get the baby all, you know, fed and burped and cleaned and all the stuff that you do, and then they put little little Timmy down to sleep. And because it's modern technology, they have literally their baby monitor with them, which they can watch on the phone. So once the kid is asleep, it's probably you know, like seven eight o'clock based on the actual cold time, that'd

be about righting. So they head down. They they literally make sure the babies asleep, they get the camera on the baby, they go one floor down to the lobby and they go into the restaurant there and they're getting dinner and dinner and drinks or maybe just dinner. I

don't know what all they consumed. However, where they are seated, they have the baby monitor basically have a phone propped up, you know, in the little like watch the movie mode with a little flip up kickstand and it's the baby monitor. And one of the other patrons, I guess, puts it together that they're eating there, there's no baby insight, but they're watching a baby on the monitor, they call police.

Now me, I'm just like, yeah, is that any different than if you the baby's room is upstairs and you and your spouse are sitting there watching a movie downstairs, but with the baby monitors, so that if there's a problem.

you know, I kept I kept the house locked. There's no way that would be acceptable, and it shouldn't be.

from there, and and you got your baby monitor. I don't understand how that's remarkably different than being in your house other than the fact that yes, there.

or of traveling further outside. Now we're getting into astronaut territory. But if the only thing that possibly could happen with your capsule, if left, you know, turn all the engines off, is that it falls back to Earth, then you never left Earth? Is that unacceptable? Would you say that's an acceptable dividing line there?

but the fact that like, here's here's my standard. If you have to go through minimum one month worth of training to learn how to fly the craft, then you're an astronaut, right, that's it, Like you have to have a month's worth of training flying the craft in order to be called an astronut or as I call them, astro knots, because they're not. And I'm just not a fan of them claiming credit to be a thing that they are not. I have no problem with them doing it.

I know a lot of people were complaining about, you know, this is some photo op or whatever. Yeah, I'm okay with it. I've been okay with private space flight from the beginning. I want all of the ingenuity and engineering eggheads to go out there and get us, you know, more into space. I'm totally fine with all of that.

But I just I bristle, if you will, at the use of the term astronaut, because it puts them, it elevates them to the to the same level as people who actually underwent, you know, massive amounts of training, had to learn how to fly the craft and what to do in all the various situations and all of that. I mean, remember the most famous astronaut, Tom Hanks. He was doing like calculus with a pencil while floating around the moon. I mean, that's an astronaut.

I were buying a carpet. When their commercial airline stuff was going on, you and I were buying a ticket. Most people were now, but eventually it went from the days of you know, dudes in suits with full martini glasses to the absolute healthscape that is you trying to put a bag to not pay that the frontier lady ten dollars, even though it clearly fits in the square, it fits what's going on here.

the research and development or whatever. And then you get the curve starts going up as more and more people start doing it, prices start coming down, it becomes more accessive. All the any kind of stereotypes that created barriers against the innovation, they start falling, and then you have, uh, you know, the explosion of use, and then it levels out to whatever that norm would be. And that's what this is. So there's there's no problem. I have no problem with the with the ride or the flight or

whatever Gail King wants to call it. My only objection was calling these these members of the space tourist flight, because that's what they are. They are space tourists, and I'm fine with that. I don't say that to denigrate them. I just I just reject the label of astronaut because I think words should mean things, and we should all understand what the word means when we use the word to apply to a category of people. Also, what was with the spacesuits? Why did they have to wear the

skin tight zipper? Things like, come.

for a month, right. I don't know if you heard her interview on how she prepped for this, because she wanted to understand all of the aspects of spaceflight. Here she is in an interview just Day's Books.

They're not crew. They were not the crew. So you can't call that the crew because it was it was flown by you know, somebody else in a.

with me? And at first they're like, nobody's with you? And he went and then he sat on the flight down there, and only when he got there is he met with a statement from the Vice President and it says, no, you cannot meet him unless you have a note from your dad. Basically Trump's, you know, Trump and the Department's going to sign off. And I thought that was that

was intentional, funny, nasty. And then he was threatening that all the Democrats are going to go down there, which I feel like probably now it's screwed up because they gave him the meeting. I wanted this to happen so that when they got down there, the White House could identify a mystery respiratory illness of some sort, thus causing the non repatriation of people by the country during a

brief pause that could extend the two years. So real missed opportunity is my roundabout thing on this peak.

guess they put them back into the prison. But I don't know, and I suspect we're going to see that photo emerge on the campaign trail in the midterms and in the next presidential race.

go vacation in that particular place. But I understand, like I can understand different elements of these arguments regarding this case. I don't agree with him, but I can understand the arguments. The why I don't understand is this idea that he should not have been deported. I understand the argument that he should not have been deported to El Salvador. I understand that argument because the judge literally said, don't send him there.

So also more if he's our but he and his lawyer are saying he's not a gang member, and so if you take that face value, then the previous ruling shouldn't have been made because it doesn't matter twenty two for them, No, it doesn't matter.

deport him. Now where the administration messed up was they sent him to El Salvador. I think the whole thing can get solved, but just you should have sent then Holland down there with a bus ticket and just drive him across a border someplace, or we go down pick him up and spam his soma.

You got, yeah, yeah, I decided to go rob a PNC bank and he had a backpack, but not a regular backpack, because when I tell you there's a cat and a backpacker, you're like, well, that's kind of mean because the cat's probably not backpack's got to be going one hundred miles an hour. But it's one of those see through with the airhole things, the pet carrier backpacks, so you can see the cat and the cat and out the whole time.

right from Amazon and anything plastic. He wants to eat it. But he's he's lovable, but he's dumb right inside cat his whole life, his entire life. So every now and again, when we come home, we'll open the door and he likes to sneak past and run outside, and he sort of flops outside, but then he gets out there, like

we're not really concerned about him running away. When he does this, we'll pick him up and we'll put him back, but we're not concerned because what he does is he runs out like, oh, I'm outside, and then he chows on the grass and he looks around like gona, oh, but what what is going on? And he just freaks out and he stays there because he's overwhelmed by it all. So we pick him up and we put it back in. So Marky brought this this backpack thing home a few

weeks or she ordered it. I was like, what is this stupid thing? And she's like, she's like, it's for Elliott, and I'm like, what do you mean. She goes, I'm gonna put him on my back and I'm gonna gi him a walk around the yard so we don't have to worry about him being an idiot or running away or getting hit by something or being attacked by something because he's a moron. And we're like, oh okay. So I'm like, let me see how this is gonna go. So she puts it on her back and she puts

the cat in and he absolutely loves the thing. He loves the thing and he's sitting there. So the fear he has that when he you know, when he gets in the grass and Ah is gone and he can just relax in the back and he's nearest Marky, so he knows he's he knows he's gonna be safe because he has no you know, eleanor the other ca has street smarts. He has no street smarts and he would be devoured or gone money ice game, completely, yeah, completely,

So he just chills in the bag, looks around. She goes for a walk, she gets quote her steps into right around the backyard or whatever, gets some exercise, and she comes in and he enjoys it.

So I'm going to pass for now. But yeah, the cats would be cheaper, yeah.

that the article the email I got. Remember yesterday we were talking about bunnies, Easter bunny stuff like that, and so one off our listeners said that he used to hang out with his grandpa right back in the day and one day Grandpa says, hey, we're gonna go We're gonna go get some We're gonna get some rabbits. And there was a woman I guess in town. He was advertising free rabbits. Because I don't know if you know this, they tend to if you have two rabbits, you really

have one hundred rabbits. Just wait a minute. And so Grandpa takes his grandson, who I firmly believe he took the grandson to sell the woman on the story. It switches diabolical as well, if I could just use that word again today. And he says, his grandpa took him to this lady's house explain to the woman that for Easter he was wanting to give each of his grandchildren a rabbit. And she saw the little boy there. She's like, all right, this sounds like it's on the up and up.

So grandpa says, she said, well, how many grandkids do you have? I believe it was ten or twelve, So what the guy said, So the woman's like, all right, here's ten or twelve rabbits for the for the kids, for the grandkids. And then our emailer said that they went back to Grandpa's place, and he started braining them, skinning them and uh and basically, uh, he's just got a bunch of free meat. And apparently it's stuck with

our our listener. But like, look at grandpa. The only he had to drag the kid along to sell his story was willing to do it. Man. So I'm just saying, right, animals serve purposes in a lot of different ways, and I think a body armor made out of cats. Plus if they start all freaking out, it's like a massage chair. He slipped through that pack. I'm assuming that they can't pierce it. It looks like hard plastic. The cat's claws are not going to come through that thing.

they immediately knew to find find Debo. Essentially, remember in the movie Friday, wou a Debo drive that bicycle because he stole it from the one dude? And so they just went around. They looked for a dude with a backpack, albeit one with a cat in it, riding a bicycle. How many in rock Hill, South Carolina? How many people do you think you encounter on the daily in rock Hill, South Carolina with a cat in a back He threw backpack riding a bicycle like that can't be common, right,

even a rock hill it can't be common. Though, when confronted by police, this is crazy. He decided he wasn't going to go quietly, not him and his cat. So he jumps off the bike. He's got a nine millimeter pistol. Deputy's immediately demand he dropped the weapon, but he then started to move towards a more populated area, which is, you know, nightmare scenario for police. And at that point

they said, all right, we're gonna use deadly force. So the officer fired, struck him in the gun hand, which for you gun grabbers, I keep hearing every time there's an officer involved shooting there's always some nit with's like, why didn't you shoot him in the hand, Well, you got your dream, you got your dream. I don't think it was intentional, but it happened, which caused him to

drop the nine millimeter. The problem was, apparently the dude's a bit of an ambidextrious criminal, allegedly because, according to police, upon dropping the weapon, because they just shot his gun hand, he used the other hand to pull out a Filipino fighting knife, which is not a thing. I knew was a thing, but now I know is a thing. And it struck a martial arts post. It was with a Filipino fighting knife. And from there it was he's already injured. They hit him with some tasers, so he lived and

all of that. But what happens to Shea the cat? That was the cat's name, Shia. I don't know, but now I want my full cat body armor, all right. Jeff Barr from the Weather Channel, he's here. Oh, and he told police the reason they came to South Carolina was to quote find other people to do a unity rally, but he couldn't explain what unity he was looking for,

so that story fell apart. Some guy robbed a bank with a cat in one of those sea through plastic cat carriers on his back, and people think it's cute, and I think he was using the cat as a deterrent. So police didn't shoot him because I didn't want to be the copy shot a cat.

the south. The load tonight down to sixty one under a clear sky will be an even a warmer Saturday to begin the week, sunny and wendy Tomorrow up to eighty nine, clouds moving Tomorrow night was still dry with a load down to sixty four, and then a warm easter on Sunday with a mix of clouds and sunshine to hide your eighty eight after a dry Monday. While the shot for some much needed a rainfall. Heading from Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday.

And as you were a child, a young child of the eighties and into the nineties, for your middle school, high school kind of stuff, like you shared a lot of the same fears and understanding and then they weren't necessarily all valid. But like, look, if you were a Cold War kid, you thought death was coming from Russia, right,

death from above. Here comes the nukes. So you'd go through all the drills, you'd watch the weird hey if you get under your desk, the nuke can't hurt you videos, which are obviously insane, but that's what you lived in

fear of. For Ross and I was different, and but one of the leading things I think our generation had beat into their head because there were so many references in like cartoons and movies, and and that was that at any given day, on any given day, in any given place, at a moment's notice, with the quickness it takes to turn a one page and a Choose your Own Adventure book, you could die via quicksand Ross, did you have an unreasonable concern that quicksand could you know kill you?

for time. So now this is the second story in what like six months now, maybe less than that, where people in Michigan got sucked into quicksand and I want to know what the hell's going on in Michigan. First, why were you hoarding all the quicksand I assumed that it was around the corner in Wyoming, never experienced it, right, Because proximity is also part of the fear, and as it was portrayed in all these shows and movies, it could happen to you anywhere, at any time.
