Monday-06-26-2023

All right, good Morne and everybody. It is six h seven that it is Monday. But it's one of those weeks where Ross is essentially a walking, talking advent calendar. Ross how many days? How many days would go account accounting today? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be that would be five shows, five shows, okay, and then fourth of July week.

It was kind of weird. So our company, um, the way that they stack company holidays this year is fourth of July is Tuesday, and I'm sure there's other companies doing this because they just know bunch of ain't gonna be there. Monday is actually where they rolled one of our company holidays. So already Monday and Tuesday, and we thought you hadn't been up to your

mom in a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, I'll since we're getting into not an election year, but you know, ahead into the primary year, I suspect things will be a little more difficult later in the year. So we're just like, you know what, this perfect week, so we are not here next week. That is a thing that is happening. So and if you want to send me your emails going oh

you guys, so you guys do is TikTok. I would remind you that compared to any other any other hosts on here, Ross and I have less vacation time. It doesn't feel like that, but um, that is in fact the case. Sorry, I was trying to sneak over here. It's true, Thank you, thank you. I was thinking of doing a live stream for my mom's house because I'm staying there in a for a vacation once it gonna haven't been there since like twenty twenty, so excited to go back

home. But I realized my mom would completely freak out about the whole situation because, like you wait, a lot of people the house looks like they're gonna break into the house to have a schematic bluepoint of the house. I can't have it broadcast. You know. They wanted to use my mom's house for there's a movie starring Bradley Cooper that's about the scnnected the police force. It's a true story and it's called A Place Beyond the Pines. Oh yeah, I didn't you know what I I. Yes, that's a weird,

gritty, weird movie. Yeah. Well for for the house there, they wanted to use my mom's the the interior of my mom's home because it's just so period's I don't know. Well her, I'm gonna say this, her house is the nicest house on the block by far, I would say, because my dad really did a lot of upkeep and a lot of remodeling stuff, and that's what he did, and the house is great. And I guess they were driving down the street and they were like, we want that

house. They actually no, I take it back. They wanted the exterior and the interior. They wanted to use the house, and they were gonna pay my mom like a crab ton of money, like a crab ton of money. And she's like, I don't at it because send people without a house upsydle break into the house and though rather rooms like like it's an ocean to live in. Heist. Well, I mean so a twitch should have wait, you know you've talked a lot about like her Stad's tech golden stuff.

I mean, the two stream would not have it, and my mom would lose her mind. She would not be able to sleep for like the next league five years. Well, plus, I was gonna swatch you. I've had a bad swan gonna watch the Yankees game. Send Buono side and the side swat team comes through like it's Christmas occation. Oh, Cassie had twitch stream? Can't wait? So wait, your twitch stream is now on par with ATVs and ferrets? Yes? Was it just it's all ATVs or

three wheelers? I can't remember what Your mom is a TV growing up? Like the two things that would kill me where a TVs and ferrets? And now it's a twitch stream? Yeah, and yeah we have to add to it you all right, Well that's nice. I'll bet your mom's house has power. Though it does, it's not like Zimbabwe where I've been living. Oh I'm sorry, did did the inflation go to a million? Bent?

All right? So for those of you don't know, um uh, there was a there was a minor power outage up in wake Forest, Minor and and everybody lost their mind. And Rod Serling is a damn prophet and it turned into monsters in Mulberry Street at least on social media. All right, maybe I'm under the issue was so starting around six h six in wake fourst on Saturday, the power went out, which always caused an issue with link and because of the autism and the like unexpected stuff and all the power goes

out and he just starts screaming it's bad. It's like, it's so bad. But when it only went out for like one second, so it's just enough to turn everything off, the air conditioning, the refrigerator, all the clocks, all the internet, the TV. Everything goes off and comes back on, and we're like, Okay, that was weird. And then it happened twelve minutes later, and then it happened nine minutes later, and then nine minutes later and nine minutes later. And this went on Saturday for about

two and a half hours. It ended at eight o'clock because that was, like I said online, I was gonna do the twitch stream and I was like, well, I'm gonna do it, and if the power goes out again, that's the end of it. I'm not going to bang my head against the wall and stress about it for us to night. That's gonna be it, and I'm gonna go to bed. All right, Well, hold on, I want to piecemeal this. I want to smell this day so

and you know it's you know, it's an emergency. When Ross literally over the weekend sends me one two three texts in a road talking about something that's happened. Well, yeah, and also when I'm posting about it on Twitter or I didn't do Facebook. I did Twitter. So when I started like actually doing series posts that aren't jokes and stuff, you know, it's like

an issue, right because like that's not who I am. It's but But but when that sounded like the way you described it, and that's basically how he just described it to you, is how he just did to me. Over two hours this happened. It sounded like a grid that got overloaded, shut down, and then it was coming when it was coming back up, the problem is there's such an immense load when you restart a grid like that because everyone's ac kicks on everything right and starting and it was at the peak

it was the hottest part of the day on Saturday. Yes, when you when you look at the forecast, look what the temperature was when it started getting really stupid hot. Is when this happened, Like I said it was, it was on the minute, nine minutes then enough to warm the houses up a little well, and then so when it kicks in, there's this huge load on it. This is what California dealt with for years. Yeah, I mean stopped at upstairs was like eighty two degrees. Like we said,

it was like Zimbabwe, it was. It was stupid. Actually it's different, but there I would say it's different because Zimbabwe has electricity to be fair to day number one and then and then what so then the next day right right, So it comes around the same time two o'clock yesterday afternoon. You look at the temperature. It's really stupid hot. Again, it goes out again, and it comes back nine minutes later. It does this for an hour. Then after the second hour, that nine minutes turns into six

minutes. Then after that hour, that six minutes turns into five minutes, and it starts. The windows starts getting smaller and smaller and smaller, and people are losing their minds. And this is why people are losing their mind. We can deal with the one minute power, well a we shouldn't have to deal with that one second of power because every time we do it, your HVAC is turning off, your appliances are turning off. At this point,

you're like, we just ended up turning off our air conditioning. We turned it off because we were like we don't want we don't want it to break, right, because our downstairs unit still is broke. We have the upstairs unit right, which is okay, but like that's where Lincoln sleep so it's very important. And the downstairs we have like tower fans and stuff, and it's really it sucks, but we can deal with it, you know, because we're adults. But it starts getting really, really really bad.

And the problem was Wake Forest Power wasn't replying to anyone they went over to. The problem started on Saturday. They finally posted something like an hour or two into into the incident on Sunday, and they were just like, hey, there's a mystery problem. When we're trying to figure it out, and everybody's like, dude, we've been calling you for twenty four hours. We've been posting about it for twenty four hours. Who's your I'm sorry, who's

your power? It's Wake Forest Power, okay, because I don't know, so I don't know. It's it's not Duke or Dominion. It's correct, it's its own thing, yes, subsidiary, right, And people are like, listen, all we want is something Just be like, hey, yeah, there's a problem, we're looking into it. But when you're ignoring the problem for over twenty four hours or acting like the first day didn't happen, right, and when when you're not giving an answer, the ants appears to

be an answer, if that makes sense, right, right? Yeah, but don't you if we had to do the Okham's raiser on this, did the Okhams what I'm sorry, go ahead the atoms raise the remote When you don't say it correctly, you sound stupid. Okay, But when you had to do that, where where most people, if they were to process it in that way, would would eventually come down? Is it's just the irresponsibly of a irresponsibility of a business who really has no competition, right, so

they we have to go with you, we don't have an option. Yeah. Yeah, So at that point, um, you know, most people

would assume they're they're just they don't care because they don't have to. I'm sure they're working on it, but not you know whatever, people make assumptions unless they go on like one of these dude, these neighborhood facebook pages or these yeah markets are part of any they're even that's what we learned about the gang markings and carry right even on the comments of the week for his power

page. All right, so hold on I'm going to tease this, and then when we come back, it appears that many of the food not many of the folks, but at least a significant number of the folks on the local Facebook neighborhood pages, they apparently don't have an Okham's razor ramon. I guess is how where we're going because they had some other thoughts, and this is where it gets crazy, all right, So six seventeen back in a few with what exactly they were proposing. Show after the show is on the

iHeartRadio app. Searchs case O day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. I just I don't feel that there's enough time in the day. But I got to tell you some of the funnest topics that we've ever done, just because there's too many of them, and I encourage those of you who do spend your time in These have come from various neighborhood Facebook groups or activity Facebook

groups. Kyle and Russell send me in there. You're I'm assuming you're not digging around in there, but your wife is, because that's not a yeah she checks them out yet. And then Kyle, I don't know if it's him or his wife whatever. So they'll send stuff over and then occasionally listeners. But if you see something bonkers in there, feel free to send it.

Sometimes it's really good stuff. It's where we found out that somebody thought the utility markings on the street inside her hoity twitty call to sac where in fact, like gangs were coming in and marking their territory. And then it was fabulous because literally the company that did the markings called, They're like, nah, that's us, all right. So with that in mind, Wake Forest having these these power outages. I want to see they're intermittent, but

they're all within this window. Day one rules through. People don't feel they're getting an answer. Day two fires up, same situation. Eventually, the company did post that they're looking into it, but we were off to the races already, all right, So what was what were the fun theories on the neighborhood group. Well, the issue is and I thought it was a with this because I've been thinking for a while, man, this city has

like grown way too fast. Right we moved here, There is construction everywhere in wake Forest. There's these giant I've talked about it before, everywhere even listen, you need to go to Wake force and see or shut your face. That's what you need to see because it is completely different. I've talked about the five story monstrosity condos that they built behind my house that they took

out the entire block and literally it blocks out the sun. Well, these things are popping up everywhere, and we're a little town and people are like, dude, when the power is going out every nine minutes on the minute, and then that window gets smaller and smaller during the hottest part of a summer day in the South, people are thinking, yo, can our grid not handle this anymore? Because there's so much construction, it seems like it's

a kind of maybe the construction is growing. This town is growing faster than the infrastructure will allow. And especially around Wake Forest, they had issues recently with the plumbing where they had to they had to see huge ralley issue.

Yeah, their system is and one of the most antiquated, I think in the country for any city outside you have so many people moving in from California, right because you have all these big companies moving here and the population suddenly it's like the plumbing can't handle the amount of water that's going through them. Were like, we need to expand the pipes, like they can't take him anymore. Well, that's happening with the pipes. Is it also happening with

the electrical grid? What is the issue? What's happening here? And when you're not answering people, that answer becomes an answer all you have to do, dude. And people are like, you really think the town is going to react on a weekend. No, I know they're not because it's government, but you should. You should have somebody working on social media. Just how hard is it to send out a twee going, hey, we know what the problem is. It's not the gridge. It's calmed down. That's

all you can do. Text messages. I don't know. No, So when the power goes out, like if the power no no, no, no, no, Duke will send me a tech Yeah no, I we don't. However I do. I got lots of messages from Spectrum because the internet has kept going out and they're yeah, there's an outage and we're looking into it. I'm like, dude, it's not your problem. It's fine, it's it's a town's problem. There is a transformer literally across the street

from me that blew like there was no mistaking it. You could see what was up. And I said, I still was getting like six text messages while watching the guys work on it. I'm like, maybe you don't get a text me. I think I'm good on this, but anyways, you guys don't get that. Yeah. To your point though, look, if we're going to have this incest to his government thing with where we have very limited options when it comes to utilities or there's franchise agreements. Some guy's got

to be in the barrel for the weekend. And I'm sorry tell you this much. If you're a little late on your payment, they will shut your electricity off, no problem. So we're paying for this. We're worried about our appliances, you know, our HVAC units, our air conditioning units breaking in the summer because your power keeps going on and off. We just want an answer. We we we want some sort of understanding that hey, y'all

are worried. We're working in the situation. This is what it is like to a twilight zone, right, it's elevating to the monsters of mob Street. We're living in Zimbabwe, which once again, Zimbabwe is better because they have electricity. Apparently so it just give an answer, dude, just how hard is it to send out a tweet? And so finally, as of last night when I sent you prep initially they still didn't have an answer.

In that story has since been updated. Well, the power went out for thirty five minutes, and at first we're like, oh my god, no what, But I started thinking about it. I'm like, well, this is probably a good sign because I imagine if something is broken or something has to be replaced, they would probably have to turn like I don't know, I'm not an expert obviously on this subject, but I'm turning off for a while. I'm rat trying to think about like, that's a lot of power.

They probably have turned something off to replace or fix Somethingham's rais or remark right, And then thirty five minutes later it's been fine. So hopefully come peak time today when it gets really hot, the nine minute thing won't start over again. Hopefully. Power says they replaced a faulty switch, which is believed to have been the cause. And everything's hunky dory. So it also subody businesses we're shutting down super early, but they couldn't get a business,

especially if you've got a business that requires you to keep stuff cool. You don't want to keep having to open whatever. It is, the same thing they tell you, don't power outage limit opening your fridge. The grocery store shutdown, the lows shutdown. Dude, that didn't happen to COVID, dude. That's how everyone goes fairal Right there man, people go, ah, the end is nigh. What was that big paranoia? Like last week it was supposed to all be over right, wouldn't There's some big constract Oh yeah,

yeah. They were saying it was gonna get hacked, like everything's gonna come down, the banking system and stuff. All right. So then I kind of I took your lead and I looked into this and I saw some really amusing on this topic. It's just human nature. Man. We'll get to that. We'll get your calls and lots more stories to get to coming

up. Hang on, Thank you, Casey is PTI in the Triad and on FM talk in the Triangle. So I have to admit Ross after you sent that stuff, well I can't, you know, half the time, I can't go look at those neighborhood groups because like you have to join them. So I have to be as well, yeah, or you got to be invited to some of them. M I did go flip over to the Twitter side of things, and sure enough, there were a few different If you just put wake Forest outage or power or something like that, boomy,

we're seeing them, and so it's more of the general thing. But I saw we don't see it here as much because of the way that suburbs work.

I know, suburbs or a thing obviously both to try it in the triangle, but really the way that the larger North Carolina cities did things is they just kind of absorbed other cities, right um, Whereas if you get into the Midwest, you'll have the city and then like Minneapolis has like I don't even know how many sub thing, like fifty suburbs between Minneapolis and Saint Paul. It's crazy. So you get you get suburb fights, and you get it a little here too. And so there were Wake Forest people like

what the hell's going on? This is unacceptable? Why won't anyone say anything? And then I saw a person who identified as being in Carrie going, hey, well, you know, at least our power works, right, And I'm like, what's going on? And then somebody in wake Forest said, yeah, well, at least who weren't stupid enough to pay for our highway, which has been a long running beef. I don't know if you're familiar with the North Raley Wake Forest beef with Carrie over who got the toll

road and who got five forty for free kind of thing. And then somebody from the Triad with that Willy Wonka theme. I was like, oh, no, they pay for your highways, so it was good. People still decided to over in that crisis time or to assault each other, yeah, or you have the people can said. I saw this on the commune on the wake Forest community page, where people were like, no, it's on

the wake Forest power page, Like what do you think that's bad? At LEAs you don't have duke, And it's like, dude, how does your suck make my suck not suck? Right? People want look when they're when they're down, people want to feel us, so they got a little something going there, dude. I laughed my butt off over the highway joke though, because I remember I remember reading many people whining about that when all of the toll stuff was going through at the new toll way there and carry.

They were like, this is an outrage, not just Carry but basically anyone over on the west side. They put five forty through there in wake Forest and it's not a toll road. How is this fair? Right? And everyone's losing their damn mind. So I'm glad to see that that beef is still beefing, but it is. The main thing is like, listen,

just have somebody working your social media accounts on the weekend. If this goes out, we pay enough money, we should know what's going on, and any kind of even if you don't know, to say we're looking into it. That should have happened on Saturday when it happened for two and a half hours every nine minutes. It shouldn't have happened over twenty four hours later,

two hours into the next episode. You know what I'm saying. It's just we need some sort of competence there, like hired anybody, you hire you. I was gonna say, hire the bud Light Dylan mulvaney girl to run the account, but that would also be a horrible idea. No, that'd be great. Hire somebody talking about right right, I actually know what it would sound like. You would have a video clip and it'd be like, I'm sorry, but your powers out. But in other duds, Yeah,

that's sitting well with people. That's the Pride Parade. That one's the New York Pride Parade. But let's just say there was quite a few seattle in and up in the news New York and um, the parade goers while moving down in front of where the TV cameras were thought, uh, the ultimate troll would be to start a chant about how they're coming for your children. We're here, we're queer, we're coming through your children. So um,

yeah, that's not helping things. Now. This is one of those things where it's like any and then if you go, well look at that they say it. And I saw some articles like that and people are like, what are you stupid? Obviously they're trolling because these are the things that they hear. Or is it somewhere in between. And here's what I mean by that, when there's there's two ways to say you're coming for children and believe it like one I got a van with a puppy and some candy and watch

out, or a very true belief which we see played out. Hear me out here where LGBT advocates and advocacy groups honestly believe, and you see it in in any of these stories of schools, that today's parents are not in a position to properly educate kids about this issue, which is why from the moment they get them in school, they feel that they should be in charge of how quickly they learn this stuff. That's undeniable. Those are That is

the actual position that you see laid out in many of these stories. Well, that's coming for your children too in a way. So yes, I know that if you like, if you go to the New York Post's main page this morning, well other than coal fired pizzas, they have an op ed piece about yes they were joking, but it's not helpful quote just adding

fuel to the fire. But when you decide, when you take an actual policy position that the only way to properly educate kids about these issues is on the timeline and with the material that these advocacy groups feels should be in school, and parents shouldn't be able to opt out, they shouldn't be told if their kids tell a teacher that they're transgender, that's the same thing. So yeah, is were they at that moment trying to troll the camera knowing it

would it would irritate people, you bet. But you can't just say, oh, well, they don't believe that, because in some sense they do believe then, and they say it every day. They just don't say it like that. They say, you know, parents are failing too, and that's why we have these incidents. And so you know, the earlier you bring kids in on this, the better off they're going to be and doing away with it. And that's fine if you think that that's your position.

There's a lot of people that agree with you. But how many cuts have we played from politicians and advocacy groups saying our children right meaning or Randy Weingarten for that matter, talking about this stuff a lot. So you know, don't sit there and tell me that there's not any truth to it if you advocate for positions where parents are left out of the process. Meanwhile, in Seattle, Ross, did you see any of these Seattle video And it wasn't

the only one, but that was the one that got tweeted out. You had you had a group of gay men naked on bicycles and they're peddling around and everything's hanging out in front of a bunch of kids. Man, and there were two takes on it in support of it. One was from Europeans going, you guys are all hung up on nudity, and two was this

is non sexualized. It's non sexualized. And then I saw some of these idiots on Twitter going they were up set about people retweeting the video, saying, well, look these people are trying to feed it to kids on Twitter. Well, it already existed on Twitter because it got posted, and it got posted in celebratory manner in some cases, and it was out there. One of the kras and idiots was if what did he'd say, Oh, here we go. He says, Number one, seeing a man naked on

a bike isn't going to have much of an impact on any kid. Ross if you were six and a bunch of naked dudes on bicycles, grown men with everything flopping around in the wind, pedaled up to you, I have to think there's a confusion there, and there's a confusion that's gonna last with you for a lifetime. He said, look, give me a story that I would still tell you, know, like you will not believe what happened. He goes on there he says, they have likely seen their father or

brother naked before. Do you think that I never I don't remember seeing my dad naked. I'm sure I did when I was younger, because you know, it's just how it is. But I don't. I don't even remember that moment. I never even caught my parents, although it be fair he dipped out of you know, I can say for a fact that I've never

seen my father naked. Okay, However, let's say that there was an unfortunate incident, right, You get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or whatever, and your dad just happened to roll out to that bathroom and the door didn't get latched, And oh my gosh, Right, is that the same thing as a bunch of strangers naked on bicycles rinding up I don't know, especially a bicycle or a unicycle. It don't make the joke, Just don't, okay. Uh? Anyway, Um,

I didn't review the video. Would you go? You want to go review the video and tell me what's there? I do? I'm very busy. Are you are you doing? No? You know what? There is a good idea. Why don't you let me let me find that with my eyes closed and send it to you. The internet isn't working, man, yea is it a switch? Do we know? I think it's a switch. I want to find the switch. We want to replace the switch. Definitely

not the grid. Uh dude. Everything was everything just bonkers over the weekend and then like you know for that, like, oh no, um, you know, this is totally normal. Kids are used to this. No, no, unless you're like some Russian kid who got drawn into one of those bathhouses where like they're you know, where the where the criminals are, which has to be in every movie about Russian gangsters in America I've ever seen. Um, no, no, that's just not a thing. It's for

the same reason. Look, I understand there's people who take their kids to nude beaches. That's fairly controversial. This is literally taken over downtown and and keep in mind statutes continue to exist about udity in front of children, and these dudes were stopping and stuff like, there's no other scenario that I'm familiar with where you and a bunch of your buddies can go expose yourself to kids and it's fine. And I don't understand why simply eliminating that from Pride events.

Isn't a more beneficial tone in attempting to because that that is obviously the line, and it seems like a reasonable line require a regardless of sexual orientation. Let's put some pants on, that's all. I don't care what kind of parade it is Pride veterans, right, doesn't matter. Put some pants on? What what do you last? Storm the page of the normandy. I don't need to wear pants. Here comes the seventy five Sea Company. In fact, it was so we were so we we so didn't have rations,

we couldn't afford pass, but we moved across. Oh dude, no other scenario does it work? Is the point that I'm making. It's ridiculous. And then you have these events where they're like, well, you know, you can't have kids anymore and your event and they're like, well we're canceling the event. Well that kind of that throws up a red flag, right yeah? Why why? It doesn't make any sense? Man? And then again that chant not helpful. Just you know, I just I got

my pr hat on for a moment, So not gonna work. Now, those are those are A and B stories and A failed Russian coup. That's in the news, so we got to talk about that. Although, dude, there's so much speculation as to what's actually going on there, but we'll try to detail what happened. I'll tell you what though, if I'm that dude. Even though Putin says no hard feelings are going anywhere, dude is so dead? What what? So dead? Putin said, it's fine.

Now, we're good. We're good. In fact, he bought them a new penthouse in the seventy story building. They're just, oh my god, what stories it on seventieth Oh my god, the view of maskow. Oh, it's so beautiful. Should get really close and check it out? Yeah, no, no, no, you want to get right up there so you can see. You can see it's very nice. All right, six forty eight K radio program, Hang on, thank you, kse is w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

All right, six fifty seven KCODA radio program. Now, those people all work. They probably worked for the power company. Some people are on the Facebook page after all that insanity thanking. Yeah, like, oh my god, thank you for doing this a great job and fixing that that's not the issue. The issue is they ignored it and they get back to anybody for

like over twenty four hours. Ye should have been addressed on Saturday. That reminds me, like you go on IMDb to we'll go a movie review on like a fringe movie on like Amazon Prime or something or HBO or whatever.

Yeah, you're not familiar, so a low, low budget and they'll be like, it'll have like an eight out of ten, which is stupid, like Shawshank Redemption has an eight, and and like there'll be six reviews and one of them will be like, I just happened to catch this new feature from director so and so with the producer so and so in a script that took like this dude, super detailed. Yeah, and it's like you worked there, right, you realize so obvious, everyone knows what's up, and

you gave it a ten and then the movie sucks. So I have a problem with most of like Amazon reviews now, like I always go to the negative reviews first because I assume like fifty percent of the positive ones are just like employees of the company or somebody that has to do with the product, right right, right, right, Yeah, they do have the verified ones review. Buy it, you do a review, it'll it'll, it'll add that little tag on there. I don't know, yeah, but I mean

you can have any everybody has an Amazon account. You can just buy it with your Amazon account if you were because I don't trust it. Yeah yeah, yeah, So you know there's that. What are the reviews for your merch Like, if there were reviews, they would all be five stars and they would Oh my god, buy the T shirt It'll make you fly superpowers. Yeah, so you guarantee that, or you will have Captain America's ass if you buy this hat, so I would do exactly what I assume they're

doing. Then that would be from hass rays consumer. It's a moss a maze. All right, good morning, everybody, Welcome and he is at seven out six Dude, my inbox is filling up with power grid related conspiracies. Man, hey, do you guys remembered back in Christmas with the outages due to load but somehow the Festival of Lights never blinked. He's got to be referring to the Ril event. I don't know, sir, don't know. I mean, let's let me live in reality for a moment. When

people are having power issues and still freshen their mind. Is a power substation, you know, being quote unquote attacked and we still don't have all the answers on that. Yeah, people are gonna get paranoid. Man, Dude, I have a twitch friend, right, Yes he is. He lives in Tennessee. He goes by the name Dirty Rows. Right. He is as left wing as you could be. Like, the dude is borderline communist. And he was the first one to bring up on Twitter. He's like,

dude, or have they messed with your substations again? And I was like, I don't know, maybe it's a grid problement what the issue is? And he goes I'm saying, man, you know a lot of the sabotage stuff, and it seems like it's weird where there's smoked, there's fire, and sometimes the fire. Is it natural when you have somebody on that side, like he is so extreme to the left, being the first one to bring up something like that, that's a problem, right, is it?

Is it? But that's that's not deviating from character because do you remember what the theory that literally gained national attention because of that, Charlotte Climber idiot. You sure, yeah? What was what was the theory about the substation being messed with? Down? It was done because of the drag shows for

kids being canceled something So was it Southern Pines or whatever. Right, they're a habit an event and they wanted to get ahead of it so that they couldn't hold a drag Queen story hour And literally people ran that was zero zero proof in national like that stuff was. It was reprinted on Daily Beast MSNBC in a more speculative manner, but still like that was the leading theory officials were working on. So I don't know, I don't know. It kind

of sounds like on brand a little bit, but I don't know. Maybe he wasn't familiar with all of that. All right, let me grab a call here too. So we had that and then add a couple incidents. One video of naked men on bicycles at the Seattle Pride Parade around a bunch

of kids. And then when people found the video because activists like people went to the parade and we're happy we're posting this, as well as a couple of people who went there to film if anything crazy happened, they threw it up, and he got retweeted by libs of TikTok as, look what's going on here? These are, you know, a bunch of naked men literally

violating the State of Washington's indecent exposure law. Why is nothing happening? Then liberal accounts were like, oh, these guys are just they're amplifying it, so they obviously don't see a problem with it. I say, wait, you just said there's no problem with it. Now you're mad at them amplify And then so the whole insanity continued. Meanwhile, in New York City, some of the marchers when they got around the TV cameras were chanting that now,

look they're doing that as an f you screw you. This is what you say, and so we're mocking you. But in reality, when the very same activist groups that were highlighted at that parade, like Human Rights Commission and others, when it comes to how they think schools and all of this should work, they're coming for your children in the sense that they feel they are in the best position to educate them on this and you shouldn't really have

a choice. That's why they lose their mind. Like in North Carolina, where they're like, hey, if somebody tells their teacher their transgender, you can't not tell the parent. And they write these artists they're they're wanting to extract kids secrets from school officials. Yeah yeah, in that case, absolutely, especially when that's a secret that ties so closely to mental health issues and or suicide rates. Right, there is statistical there is statistical evidence that that

individual has a higher propensity now for self harm. So it actually makes sense. So it was it was not helpful all around. All right, let me grab a call here, Jamal, what's up this morning? Good morning, Casey. Hopefully you had a great weekend. Sorry, yeah, my power worked all weekend. It was crazy. So but you know what, case see, I got to disagree with you strongly on this. They see

they're not joking, they're serious. Wherever they are at the GVTLQ community, wherever they are at, whether they will not get political pushback where there's no political pushback to war what they're doing. They let you know what they're planning. If you see what they do in New York. In New York, if you want to transfif a thirteen fourteen year old child vose and it says I want the transition. You don't have to tell the parents. You don't

have to tell you the parents. That's literally coming for people children. Because in states where they don't have the political power, where they push their political powers that they're will on that state, they don't say things like that, they're mom on stuff like that. But states whether they have the political power to enforce their force success up to from people, they come out and they say these things and they have no problem telling you, look at what happened,

like he was point two in wash it in spate. They know for a fact they'll will be not one police officer one share did, but who will arrest woll In riding it around with their Jenna tell you out and from the children. That's bumming for your people's children. They're telling you this is the stuff that they not. We're not disagreeing, we're not disagreeing. What I'm saying is the way that the coverage is couching it as they were quote

joking and they were trolling. Absolutely, but when you look at the actions as it pertains to the school, that is what people see as coming for their children, and that is absolutely what's happening. So we agree I'm disagreeing with the way the people are trying to couch it off. Is that. And yes, in the moment they're trolling, But sometimes you troll because you

can, right, Yeah, because you know that political point. Look, and I'll tell people like this, if you look at before the twenty twenty Saint George Floyd riots or the fitting on Methylot Baptist Shoosice fenting on Floyd, if you look at before those riots, there have been little riots going on before the end for different people. Remember the Michael Brown where they did over there, didn't wait, they kept saying and then they was chatting no justice,

no peace. So when they when the ripples on the left know that they are in a position where they can push their political will, they are open with stuff. And because they know nobody a push back against them, and so and so my point was these people do want your children. They do because that community can't reproduce. They can only recruit. They have to recruit people to be part of them. They can't reproduce, they can't do that. So what they want to do is force our children to view that

as normal, view that as oh, there's nothing wrong with this. So then they can influence children to be part of that communicacy and this and you know what, anyone that was over I don't forgive me from this understanding. I don't have a problem of apologizing standing I was wrong. Forgive me. It's it's there's some complexity and I don't know if I made it clear.

So it's, um, we're good. You agree, though, like because you drew a comparison between states where you know, like New York or uh, you know, California, right versus Oklahoma or Texas or whatever, um or Florida from I'm hold on from a marketing from a marketing standpoint, if it seems that you're down with the cause, it seems like this is more injurious to expand an of what you think the right thing to do is. That's what I don't understand. Well, because these people, you have a

lot of them that are so bold that they really don't tear. They really feel that they are right now, that the moment is with them and they can do what they want, say what they will, act like they want and come for people children where it's going to be the political pushback. You got people right now who can't tell you for political reasons. What is a woman? You've got black women right now every time you came around and getting

from the Congress say they don't know what a woman is. So it's right, let me, let me give you a more apple in jamal I appreciate the call, so let me thanks. They hang up, but yeah, no, keep listening. I give you an example of just because Now it's a little different because in Washington there's literally a law against this, but it's it's the Jeff Goldbloom divide. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

And I'll give you another example. This will irritate some of you when a video emerges of a guy who has four pistols, an a R slung across his chest, and a what did he have in the subway? He had a and it was it was it was not loaded or it was a nert It is the word I'm looking for, Bazuka, right, and he just wants to go in and order subway for the shock value of it. That's not helpful, baby legal, but it's not helpful in promoting people's better understanding

of the Second Amendment. So it's a little apples and oranges. But I think you get the GIST seven seventeen. We get more calls on this, the Russian coup that never was or was even meant to be, I don't know. And a democratic politician is um deporting illegal immigrants? Why is this not a bigger story. We'll get to all that more coming up. Hang on, This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and here's

Talk four five WPTI in the Triad. All right, good morning, Ay, it is seven to twenty three here on the case O Day Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. Coming up here right up to the bottom of the hour, we're gonna get into the Wagner Grew Wagner, the the rebellion or insurrection or I don't even know what we're calling it. Over the weekend which lasted, you know, like forty eight hours. The whole thing is strange. Whole thing is strange. So

basically I'll get into it. Thirty six hours. There it is. It was doing the math and even though it only lasted thirty six hours, Putin still press many. You're speculating quota will have damaging consequences for Putin in his war in Ukraine. So we'll give you the details. And a janitor who I suspect is out of a job. More on that in just a moment. Let me grab a call Donna. What's going on? Good morning?

Casey wanted to comments on the Pride parade in Seattle. I'd like to know why no one is chastising the parents who brought children there, because they always do something disgusting and deviant. They're they're dressed in the weather and spanking, you know, like they have a dominatrix on a float. They always do, they always, I have to admit when let me throw this out.

So I lived when I first lived in the Twin Cities, I lived in downtown Saint Paul, and my building was right next to the park, next to the main drag where all of the parades were. So Saint Patrick's Day Parade right under my window, Pride Parade, Thanksgiving Parade, all of it ran there. So it was a curse or a benefit, depending on how you looked at it. And I don't remember the Pride parade they ran and said they were pretty stringent on you're going to abide by these rules, which

include no nudity and overt demonstrations of any sexuality. It's literally written into everything that they do for all sorts of stuff. And I don't remember it being an issue, and it was here was that well? And that's this is what I'm going to point out. And perhaps that is because of the year, or perhaps it's because Saint Paul actually had a Republican mayor prior to that,

so they were a little more stringent. And the question is, at what point, as a parent, do you have some sort of legal obligation when taking your kids to an outdoor event downtown? Do you know what I'm saying, Because like, if you expect as a parent that everyone's going to not have their junk hanging out and then they do, how do you prove that they knew that that was going to happen? Is the complexity asking.

Yeah, I'm not saying that the parents knew that that was going to happen, but I think that there should be an expectation that something like that's going to happen considering what's been happening. You know, the lunatics are running the

asylum and they want to push the envelope. So far, all right, but if you take your kid, if you take your kid to a beach and it happens to be spring break, there's a higher propensity you're going to your kid's going to see something they shouldn't, So you're bad enough of a dividing line. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is.

I think that those men who did that should have been a record. Answer is if you have a statue and it's a statute that people know to exist, like you can't waive any of your genitals, even if it's just on a bike as you're going by, because they're trying to delineate this. If there is a standard, I don't think as a citizen it's unreasonable to expect that that standard is going to be upheld. Yeah, I think, I don't don't. Yeah, the solution is you actually charge people if they break

the law and there Yeah, yep. Lawlessness is just the way of democrats, that's the way I see it. They encourage it in all a lot of secks, you know, like with the BLM, riot, etc. They just encourage, almost encourage these people by not punishing them. So they're going to keep pushing it until somebody then, you know, puts the hammer

down, and then it will probably be too much. You know, it's like the shoplifting insanity, right, so people realize under seven hundred and fifty you had people going in and stealing stuff and doing math on what they're stealing, right, and now the stores are closing, you know. So I hear you, I hear you. All right, Donna, thanks for the car. Great day. Yeah, no, if you look, if if you tell me there's a if I want to take kids, I don't have kids. Let's say I had kids and I wanted to go to ums the

beach over and surfs it. Okay, Well, I know that there is a law against them, you know, people strutting around naked on that beach. So sure, And I get Dana's point where you would expect it's more likely in certain instances. But if you have a law, I think the expectations should be people cracked down on it and you start there. But hey, that's goss me Smart Talk all Day, four five w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right,

welcome back seven thirty five here on the case O Day Radio program. What is it? I have a hard time linking a beach trip to a Gay Pride Festival. It wasn't just any old beach trip. And let me give you a let me give you a better comparison. Okay, how many of you have been to Mardi grow And if you have been to Mardy Gros, you realize one it's not just one day. It's you know, goes on and then leads up to Fat Tuesday, which is the day before Ash Wednesday.

And that's really where when the party culminates. But leading up to it, there are days and days or I should say days of parades and evenings of Bourbon street debauchery and everything that goes in between. And as I've been down there a couple of times, it's been been a while, but when I was in my twenties, I mean somebody's went down there for the first

time. And it's a tale of two things. And so during the day when they have the parades, it's the streets are lined with families, not to you know, I shouldn't say lined with the families are are fully integrated into the parade watchers. And during the parades you don't have you don't have the nudity and the insanity that once once things get dark out and everyone makes their way over to Bourbon Street and the surrounding area unfolds, right, so

it's known. It's known that there is a line that's drawn there and there there are laws that are enforced, and that's how they manage that. So families know, hey, if we want to go watch parade. Kids love parades. They throw beads. The context of the beads is very different for

the kids. When the year that I was there was when the first Lord of the Rings or one of the Lord of the Rings was coming out, and Elijah whatever his name is, was the grand marshal of the parade one of the parades, and I actually got one of the beads he was thrown, and they were these really ornate beads, which, by the way,

drew a pretty price over on Bourbon Street later on. However, that was the adult portion of it, right, So after the parades and all of that and dinner and everything, you don't take the kids on Bourbon Street at nine ten o'clock at night because that's when you're going to see some stuff. But it's funny because there's only certain things you can see and if it goes beyond that, as soon as somebody's pants less, they'll swoop people up.

And you don't want to get arrested the very end of Mardi Gras because you're gonna sit there. They don't adjudicate anyone till after, and you gotta wait because then it's Wednesday ash Wednesday, so I think Thursday. So if you get arrested on Monday into Tuesday or something, you're sitting there for days. And I don't know if they've changed that policy or how it works, but I saw I saw a couple that got arrested because they were in public.

Get his pants down, Okay, we'll just leave it at that. And the police did not screw around, and that was at night. However, she didn't have a shirt on, she wasn't arrested. Those were the standards. So I guess if in that scenario, where is the line? And I'm just trying to point out where is the line? You drag your kid to a strip club, it's pretty well known that she might be endangering that kid, and people wouldn't put up with that. You go to a parade,

even a parade that is centered around a certain level of debauchery. On the periphery, there is an example where they're able to do the parades that the you know, the daytime time stuff and not have it look like the nighttime stuff. So it's the example exists. Okay, And spring Break Beach in Florida, if you've been to spring Break Beach in Florida or Panama City or wherever, is wildly different than any other time you take your kids to a beach down there. It's just how it is, all right, seven

thirty nine case O Day Radio programs. So what the hell happened in Russia? For thirty six hours? The Wagner group's insurrection will may have likely damaged damaging consequences for Russian President Putin? All right, So was it Pregajin? You have any Pregajine? I don't know how to pronounce his name. Who is commander of these mercenary troops? And while the troops are Putin loyalists, they are not fans. This is his best I understand it. They're not

fans of the current commanding structure for Putin. And it's long been known that they felt that they were essentially being used as fodder and they were not cool with that because at the end of the day, they're mercenary troops. Right,

it's a business arrangement, and you started seeing cracks unfold. So what happened, Well, Prignison had enough and the and the troops, and it wasn't all of them, but many of these mercenaries decided that unless Putin basically gets rid of one of his the guy who's in charge of essentially the military command decisions there, they were not cool with this, and so instead of

doing what they were doing, they started marching to the Kremlin. Oh yeah, there's just buckets of crazy here because you're trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and he can't run it through traditional filters of how we do things here in the US as to what that would look like. So that happens. They're marching ever closer, and you know, people saying,

here comes an attempted coup. Yeah, the Russian defense ministers who they wanted kicked out of office here, So you know, what the hell's going on? Is there a full fledged coup? Air raid sirens are going off ended up implementing a curfew Friday night through six am. And you know the fact that you got essentially your own troops marching towards Moscow. This is not good. And then all of a sudden they took a military hub rostaf Vandon

and it was from there they started this march. And there's some speculation about the totality of you know, what command, what control, and what munitions that particular military hub may have. And that was just crazy. So what did Wagner want? All right? With no excuse me, pregniz in picking up turnco Russian military divisions along the way, it seemed they might actually make it to the Kremlin, only to seal a deal with Putin that saw him

agree to exile the defense guy in Belarus. So I don't know how much of you were watching, but this is where we were. Except now that same defense minister was making statements about, you know, military stuff in Ukraine again, so hell if I know, all right, so let me ask you. Let me ask you this because some people were claiming that this whole thing, I well, it doesn't look good for Putin, But some people are claiming that essentially what you had there is you had a bit of political

theater and nobody was intending to take down the country. Apparently we had some intelligence we knew this was going to happen, So we were just watching. Although I think with some of the reporting I've seen, I could have speculated it was going to happen, but they never made it all the way they struck a deal. Some people think that Prignizon and some of his uppers had

their families threatened. I can't believe Putin would do that. But um, let me ask you this, how long you think that dude is How long is it going to be before that dude goes into a building with windows with more than one story? Because even though Putin said all is forgiven, everything's okay, and it's all hunky dory, anybody believe in that ross? You want to you want to run an odds pool on this, thank you?

You're ridiculous. I mean, first he has to drink the radioactive tea, okay, all right, Oh it's so good, dude, for the sinuses, okay, And he's stand right by that window. But he does his coup and then they strike a deal. Everything's forgiven, but he still has to be exiled to Belarus, and like, what all did his people still control? Two is another question? Well, they're saying he was what two hundred some kilometers from Moscow, and then he just stopped and it was going

like super you know, really well for him. Yeah, and they're saying before he turned back that I guess his forces took the area where like the nukes were. Well, that's so the military outlet, they don't know, or they they're saying they don't know. I'm sure we do know. But because there's a theory that he's using that for leverage to keep himself alive. Well, the other theory is and this is the you know, the work theory, right, Um, it was about Putin and Pregnizon were doing this

to end this power struggle between Russian military brass and the mercenary leader. So basically, Putin felt he was losing control, so he wanted to unite the people that were still loyal to him against a now more internalized threat to create camaraderie so that they work better in the total of the Ukraine theater. So that's it's all super complex. But I don't know, man, But you're

right, it's just weird. He stops right there because things were going swimmingly for him, and let me tell you, it's not easy to march on Moscow. No, they had a trucks full of sandbags, uh, covering the entrances to Moscow, Like it's really weird. You had putting in the air, flying over trying to lake. I guess like I've read somebody he tried to go into Kazakhstand or something and they were like, you know, you gotta go back, or it was so weird, so much weird information

coming out. So I don't know. I think that I think is the rest of the week plays that we're going to see more on this. All right, well, let me do this seven forty five more weather insanity and store for today even after this weekend. Who we who are we hanging with today? With mister Stageik's giant, that would be Jeff you know, oh Jeff en know. How are you doing? Jeff good? How are you? Oh you're very quiet, very finished that statement with brace Stagi's uh super

vacation. There we go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well that's he told me is crazy, sir so. But he leaves you to the unfortunate task of delivering what is not some great news, whether or not great tonight. Yeah, it's as a matter of fact. Once we get into the the latter part of the afternoon, we'll start to get some of those just pop up storms, typical summer like stuff. But these storms really will start to fill in a bit, and then we'll look at maybe some

damaging winds and heavy rain, maybe even large hail. More than likely we will see a watch before it's said and done. Mostly sunny sky is ahead of that. In a hot day ninety one, heating necks as high as one hundred, showers and storms to night low sixty six tomorrow, mostly sunny, down to eighty six for the high with a stray shower thunderstorm, and then eighty seven the high Wednesday. Wednesday looks pretty good at this point with sunshine. Yeah, that's weird. I opened my micing and boom, I

cough. So sorry about you're here, all right, Jeff, appreciate it. We're talking to our sir. Sounds good. All right, We'll take a break. Boy, oh boy, there's a janitor who he's gonna be looking for a gig man. What a crazy story this is. But for anyone who has ever been in a situation where your smoke alarms doing that beep thing because it wants batteries, and you put it off till you're on the verge of insanity. I don't like that. We'll share it next hang on

after the show the iHeartRadio app. Search casey o Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. Do you ever screw up at work? Do you ever? I don't know, just have a brain fart, as they say,

or it happens, man, Sometimes it happens. You know. Sometimes I'll edit a commercial or something and There'll have been some stop points in there, and I'll miss a clip and just I go to listen to it back, but I'm kind of passive listening dub it in And it's only after I hear a play on the air and I'm like doll and then I gotta go in and clip it. Right. So I've done that. Ross you ever

do anything like that? All our years in radio, I've accidentally like inserted sounds into ear spots before, but now I've been fine, what are you inserting into my spots? I mean it's accidentally slide whistles and stuffs and stuff. Okay, all right, that's fine as long as it works for the client. Um this one, though, there's a little more. How many of you are familiar with the Rentsler? How do you say Rent Polytechnic Institute LABIN in Troy, New York. If you're not UM, you should be.

They do a lot of like really high end research. In fact, it's it's high end and secretive enough that they do UM. There have been several inclusions or at least allusions to this institute in like government conspiratorial style movies. RPI is a big deal, Like you have to be a super genius to go to RPI. It's like MT up there And uh, I saw a movie not that long ago where the part of the plot was there was this thing and it was going home behind closed doors in there, and it

was super secret tech and the government's hiding it. So so you know that they're they're doing something big in there to draw that level of conspiratorial interest. That's not what this story is about. This story is about a janitor who works there that apparently is not a good mister will hunting, but instead just a guy who goes in and this is his gig man. You know, it doesn't matter where you are. Somebody's got to be, you know,

somebody's got to handle this part of it. And according to the institute, a janitor working in the Lab, who was so annoyed by an incessant beep that he finally had had enough and reportedly flipped a switch to stop the noise.

That could be annoying. There's been several occasions where there was something you could hear, and we've talked about on the air, like the room that sounds like there's an airplane engine in it, the server room, or you can hear down the hall, or you hear a beeping in the studio or something that's that's crazy. And I want you to liken it too, when your smoke detector battery needs it, and it's like how long will you live

with that? And some people will surprisingly live with that for a long time, but it it grades on you. And this guy had had enough, so he flipped the switch. The problem was this, that switch didn't just control the beeping. It also controlled the research refrigerator, the storage freezer, I should say. And so when he flipped that off, not only did he stop the beeping and recover his sanity, he also destroyed decades of scientism. The clones. Yes he did, Yep, they're all did so.

Yeah. The carelessness, according to the Lab, may have cost at least one million in damage. But that is just that's what they can you know, put a dollar amount on. It doesn't even speak to the value of all of that research because you don't know what all it would have yielded. But twenty five years of research projects were in that and so you know you had you had research had been going on for half or a quarter of a century that in some cases is no more. The super cold freezer the custodio

worker allegedly shut down held cell culture samples and other quote other elements. I guess that's the clones um and stored it at minus one hundred and twelve degrees. This is a contracted cleaning service too, noticed a beeping alarm as the temperature had leapt down. So actually it sounds like there was already a bit of an issue and rather than calling anyone, he thought he'd solved in himself. Man, what if he didn't destroy him? What if they got out?

How far is Troy from where your mom lives? Oh, it's not far at all. So by the time you get there next week, like they're making zombies the capital Like we have the triangle here, right or the triad. Yeah, the capital region up in Albany. Yeah, yeah, that's actually how their their market works, the radio market, because I see

them when I'm looking at the all different readings reports. So yeah. And while the alarm may have been triggered by mechanical malfunction rather than an actual problem with it, once it was flipped and turned off, though, well then the problem is there. Repairs had been scheduled, so the beeping was known had been scheduled since twenty twenty, however had not taken place, and a sign on the lab freezer door explain the source of the alarm and instructions on

how to silence it. It had another sign that said no cleaning required in this area. You can press the alarm test mute button for five to ten seconds if you want to mute the sound. However, that only worked for a small period of time. This guy went all in, so you know there was there were workarounds available, but he just said, screw it, man, I don't want to listen to that alarm, flipped the switch and that didn't go well for him. So holy crap on that all right?

I have an absolutely insane story, believe it or not. It's from MSNB see and it is over but I don't know what they want. I gotta be, I gotta be honestly, I don't. I don't know what the hell they're looking for. It is over the Indiana Jones movie. And no, it's not just fans of the series wishing they'd stop trying to ruin it. It's woke writer, culture writer and opinion columnists. What is this guy's

name? Noah Burl Taska, a bare latsky who's he's insane on Twitter, who has a real problem with Indiana Jones and not just the newest one, but all of them because and yes, he found a way to tie this to January sixth, so wait for that. Plus, a high profile liberal politician has been deporting illegal immigrants. Why is this not more of a story? Just doing it on his own too? I'll explain Coming up, he c O Day radio programmer. All right, good morning, everybody, welcome,

Happy Monday, Jacoda Radio program Ross. Where are we at? Ross? Is like the Big Jerry's Kids o' clock? Because next week's fake k so um thirteen hours right, lucky number thirteen? Oh you're talking about like segment wise? Oh, well, break down to segments sixteen? What do you mean sixteen total segments. No, not sixteen segments. The four segments an hour. So if there's six, if there's fifteen hours total for a week and we've done two hours, there's thirteen hours. Thirteen times four is

not sixteen. I'm sorry, there was a switch problem in my head. Oh do you want to not do anything about it for like three days? Just sit around? Yeah, I'm going to ignore it for at least two and a half days. Okay, all right, very good? All right? So, oh hey, um, did you know that like one of the one of the most well known moonbat politicians in the entire country has just been deporting illegal immigrants? Did you know this was a thing. I had

no idea until I read this yesterday. That's so weird because you remember that any move that is made by like Abbot down in Texas or whatever it may be, or Descantists in Florida that doesn't you know, doesn't even necessarily disapport,

but literally sends him out of state is literally kidnapping. How many people have you seen accusing Abbot and de Sciantists because of flying people or bussing people to sanctuary states should be investigated for kidnapping that's the talking point, right, Well, what said to New York City, shall we New York Mayor Eric Adams has been resettling illegal immigrants who had been sent to the Big Apple all

across the country and around the world. Now check this out. So Adams who called Texas sending illegal immigrants to New York quote horrific, after sending one hundred and fourteen during the initial all one hundred and fourteen of those have been set to various places across about a dozen states, as well as to five countries including and this is what Adam's office has financed and carried out quote resettlement in five different countries among them including China, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru,

and Ecuador. Dude, you're setting people back to Venezuela. Yes, less than three weeks ago, Adams said bussing migrants is morally bankrupt. So what do they do? He farms them out to communities not in New York City because a crisis was doing and even sends them to these countries, which sounds an awful lot, like, I don't know, deporting them. So where's everyone flipping out over this? Yes, that's right. In fact, through

a freedom of Information Act. They determined that the City of New York spend fifty thousand dollars on flights. From April to April. More than a dozen states were sent illegal immigrants, including households in Florida, Texas. North Carolina is number three on this list and Illinois. Kate Smart, spokesman for Adams, defending the move, arguing it was different from what Adam and Adam Abbott and De Santists had done. How is that different? You put them on

a plane or a bus and you sent them elsewhere? Quote? In contrast, New York City has very publicly discussed this for months that our goal is to connect individuals with friends, family and networks, whether it's in New York City or outside of it, except they all seem to be outside New York City. However, the part where they were sending them literally to other countries, how is that any How is that not arguably worse when you're sending somebody

quote back to Venezuela And that's just a thing that's been happening. But you know, it's different. It's different because they care, whereas De Santists have it, they're just monsters, they don't care. But the Adams cares. So when he literally ships them elsewhere, he's doing it because of all of the compassion, the big heart. So totally not the same thing. In

fact, what is this quote from Adams quote? It is unimaginable what the governor of Texas has done when you think about this country, a country that has always been open to those fleeing persecution and other intolerable conditions. All right, so square sending somebody to Venezuela with that, I don't know of them of a more dangerous I mean, there's lots of dangerous places, but a

combination of exactly what you're talking about, through danger socioeconomic problems. The possibility, one of the big things we look at is the possibility if somebody goes back to a count they fled, will they be punishment? And Venezuela has done that. It's not quite at North Korea levels, but it is a thing that happens, and this is their plan. They're just shipping them on out while simultaneously whining when people ship them up to them. I'll tell you,

the hypocrisy is off the charts. And there's like two journalists that choose to cover this and the rest what are they doing while they're writing garbage like this article we're going to get into next from MSNBC entitled Indiana Jones highlights the limits of Hollywood's Nazi obsession. So this dude has beef not just with the new indie movie, which that would be understandable in some of the stuff that I've seen, but in the totality of the experience and why Indiana Jones is

falling down on the job of educating people. I'll explain coming up next here on the case O Day radio program. Thank you. Casey is on WUPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning eight eighteen here on the case O Dave Radio program. So I read a few more reviews on the Indiana Jones that that releases what this weekend, right, I gotta look at it. Maybe it's an early release point, is yeah, Indiana Jones and the quote Dial of Destiny coming

out. Um, And there have been some concerns, you know, people pointed out the age of Harrison Fort, which I don't think is necessarily a problem because you saw what the older version looks like with the last Crusade, right, Sean Connery in there. One of my all time favorite movies as actually as a kid too, I love that movie. I watched that movie on a repeat man and it aged fine. I watched it here not that

long ago, and you had the ridiculousness of the Crystal Skull. But then he started seeing elements in this new one where once remember when everyone was freaking out, don't do time travel, don't do time travel, and they're like, dah, time travel might be part of this, and at that point you're just like, dah, fine, what else you got? And then you started to see some of the script. I read one reviewer who said that the female lead in this What is It? Phoebe Kate's waller. I

can't remember her name, but her character is has what is it? What did they say? If you didn't like the personality of Captain Marvel, then you're going to hate this because it's it's that times ten. I don't know about you and out there when I hear that, that makes me cringe just thinking about it. Right, So, if you did, if you didn't like the attitude that they that they gave to the character of Captain Marvel, right, the way that she interacted with everybody, and I know that that

was a criticism. Apparently this critic found this female lead much more grading. And I've seen this actress and other stuff and I never found her annoying. But so some of that comes down to, all right, what do you want her to play? So right there, I got some questions. Ross. I'm assuming this is not one you and the wife are planning on go catching in the theater, right, okay? All right? So then I see this from a culture writer at MSNBC, Indiana Jone. Let me just

read through this, Um, tell me where I lose you. Indiana Jones would be happy to punch neo Nazis knows, he said, you know, Neo Nazis, Harrison Ford said in a recent interview promoting the latest iconic franchise, Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny installment. He'd push him out of the way to get in the first punch, said Ford, as he should. Ford added that Indiana Jones lives in a black and right, a white world where

it's in calculbule that his vision of evil not be confronted. Ford of course plays you know, and then they go on to point out that he's the lead here for somebody who didn't know that. I don't know Ford. Of course, the actors played America's foremost fictional archaeologist. Adventure and Nazi puncher is enthusiastic at the idea of thumping the newly emboldened far right. Okay, of

course we're going here, not just hey, talk about the movie. But unfortunately, the latest Jones installment continues a Hollywood tradition of punching Nazis without doing much to explain why Nazis are bad and how you recognize them? Ross, can you think of any indicators in the several Indiana Jones movies which might have been indicative of who is or isn't a Nazi? Do you think of any

um? Do you think that? Do you think there was any gray area by the time the story wrapped or do you think we knew who was the Nazis and who I'm pretty sure we knew. We knew right because the vast majority did what dressed in Nazi uniforms. Right, that's pretty helpful. That's great. Do they want what do they want? Indiana? Oh? No,

no, hold on another question. You're gonna ask weight there'll be a better setup for them okay, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, because I know this isn't My brain's going um, all right, So they're not explaining them without doing much to explain why Nazis are bad or how you recognize them. We generally think that black and white morality makes evil easier to identify, but Hollywood's simplifications can make it harder to do the right thing in the real

world, where the villains don't always conveniently wear swastikas. Dial of Destiny, he said in nineties, this movie phil all right, here we go. Indie is fighting in the movie in theory to prevent fascism from conquering the world, but the dial spares little thought for the horrors of Nazism or the Holocaust. James Mangold is much more focused on fun chase scenes or the mechanics of riding a horse into the subway than he is on using his vehicle to fight

fascism. There's even a scene in which the bad guy Vohler expresses racism when he sneeringly implies a waiter isn't really American because he is black. But otherwise, Valor just behaves like a standard supervillain, ranting on Q and ruthlessly pursuing world domination. All right, So here's where this this what you were about

to say, because it popped into my head as well. So the the the director has chase scenes and the mechanics of riding a horse in the subway, but he's not using this movie to quote fight fascism because he doesn't include copious amounts of footage documenting the horrors of Nazism and the Holocaust. So what were you gonna say? I was gonna say, do they want Indiana Jones to like liberate Boukenvold or Dokau? Like what I don't because it's Indiana Jones.

It's adventure fantasy, right, it's escapism, but you still have the villains. This is like recently the controversy the quote I say, an air quotes controversy with The Little Mermaid where they said the problem with the Little Mermaid was there was a proper example of slavery on the fictional islet that they live on, Like there wasn't Caribbean. Yeah, it's the same thing. It makes no no, this is what they want. They want Indiana Jones and

the list of Schindler. I mean, this is that's what they want, dude, And but the reason they want it is not because he Like if he came out and he said, you know, the reason that I feel that they should do this is we I saw that poll where like half the

kids didn't know what the Holocaust was, right. But if he came out and said, this is why if you're gonna, if you're gonna have Nazis, you should spend some time explaining why they're bad, then all right, But to your point, yeah, you're also trying to get a PG. Thirteen, So if you really want to deep dive into this, it's a different movie at that point. But that's not what he wants it for. No, no, no, it isn't surprising. Hollywood frequently uses Nazi as

a synonym for bad. The Star Wars franchise, for example, uses vague references to the Nazis like Stormtroopers as convenience stand ins for evil, but with rare exceptions, never explains what the Empire or the rebels actually believe a right, so he goes through a lot of different examples here of where people have made imagery of that. Hollywood in general wants to tell fun, exciting adventure stories, but real life Nazis spouting real life bigots and committee real life atrocities

aren't much fun. You do know that they make those kinds of movies too. I referenced the little mash up there, like Indiana Jones and Schindler's List have been able to exist on the same level. Do you know what I'm saying? As iconic movies in Hollywood, but with very different tones and reasons, right, and they're bold associated with Steven Spielberg. Yes, there are two different genres here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So what the hell are you talking about? Well, this is what he's talking about.

None of this means Hollywood is responsible for a resurgence of fascism, but it's too bad that decades of anti Nazi films have seemingly done so little to inoculate the US against fascism. Punching ideas is tricky, and fascism. Fascism is an idea first, well before it persuaded people to don arm bands and storm the US capital. When you see the world in black and white, there's a lot of evil that may get obscured in the gray shadows that gets

you raised. And even for Indiana Jones, it's hard to punch what you can't see, all right, So the beef is we the Nazis. They didn't have it all explained. And if only the movie took time to explain it, then the American populace would recognize that the right wing individuals are actually Nazis and would start, you know, taking them seriously and attacking them and punching them. That's just that's the story. What why are you laughing?

Come on, man, it just seems if you're getting listen, if you're getting your Nazi history in World War two history from Hollywood, you might be making a mistake. That should be something you're learning in school. Besides, I don't know, gender studies like that. You should be learning about those sort of things in school, not escapism, which is the movie theater. Well, and that's us to say that there is not There are not quality

productions out there, being movies or raise. But there's two different genres. And when Indiana Jones first came out, it was wolf over a little over four decades from the actual Holocaust, from the liberation of the camps. So it's a yeah, And I mean maybe people were back then more aware of the historic you know, of history. Yeah, This guy doesn't want the history. He doesn't want history for histories. Person. No, he wants history to attack his political opponents of the now. Yes, yes, says

yes. So he wants Mangold to do this, but also to do it in a way where he is able to clearly and concisely connected to today's political opponents. Even though the movie is set you know it's the sixties, so whatever. But yeah, that's MSNBC's hot tape. I thought you'd enjoy it. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and Near's Talk ninety four five w PTI in the Triad. Dear God, on this story right here. Oh my goodness, let me just go ahead. And because

this isn't one Florida man, this is apparently a bunch of them. But what the heck, let's get the song Florida Men, Florida men. Something in the water, the air or scent that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is one being dumb ass trap. Nowhere else has the Florida man. It is almost like, as the Weird Factor climbs, you'll find out it happened in Florida. Every time Florida man, Florida man, if anyone can cheer me, if you know you can, does

mind life get crazy? But of course, but it's not as bad crap crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him. They're so used to it they don't mind him. Hooray for Florida. Man. All right, So check this out Daytona Beach, dun Lotton Bridge. If you know the area, I guess there you go. Police over the weekend finally decided to raid and dismantle what is locally referred to as Oh let's see, this is literally what they call it. Quote booby trapped meth Island. Did you

David something better? Man? Right, I guess unless you don't want to be able to go there. But you have a place called booby Trapped meth Island? Is that a theme park? Because I'm curious, Ross you've drugged the family to Florida. You guys, I know you did the Disney thing. If you considered booby trapped meth Island, maybe next time. You know. I've heard things, but now we haven't. Oh wow, I wonder if it has a people mover. Well not anymore. They tore it all

down. What it did include. What officers were faced with was a int kit maze of wooden structures constructed by drug addled occupants. They had all sorts of stuff that had literally been taken from all around the community and drug to this island, including trampolines, random deck chairs. There was even a makeshift skate ramp and dozens of shelters throughout the abandoned island. Booby trap. Meth Island had been known for years to lose your county off a sheriff's officials.

However, nothing had been ton and except then things got weird or I guess the crackdown came amid concerns the eye catching island started luring in children who saw the trampoline the skate ramp, and they had some incidents where kids who went over there because like, oh there's a trampoline, there's a skate ramp, and then it's all you know, hoboes on basalts and meth and stuff, which not a good place for the kids. Meth Island which has its own

social media cab, because of course it does. That's how it got the Behnaker. The construction police say was mostly constructed, mostly made possible after her official island officials. What do they have a hierarchy? Oh what officials say are islanders? I'm sorry I misread that. I was like, oh my god, did they go full like this is crazy? Scavenged by the attic

population, many stolen from docks in the nearby coastal area. Police initially sifted through a camp adorned with signs, including the first structure, which literally had a sign referring to it as the welcome center, So they had a visitor center when you stepped onto meth Island here or booby trap meth Island. And a second structure that acted as a rental office, where, oh my good, they did have a hierarchy, so they were charging hoboes to use the

island. I suspect the rent was probably more agreeable than a lot of to obtain it a daytona beach, ocean front properties. But dude, you've got a this is crazy. There's a five story treehouse in the middle of this thing. But you got your own rental office, you got a welcome center by the way, ross, how much do you think the rent on meth Island is? Yeah, at least at least a little over grand Well, no, no, they charged on a per nite basis. Okay, ten

bucks? Ten bucks? Yeah, sweet deal. How much were you paying for that place you guys stayed, Oh like five hundred a week? Yeah? This is ten bucks? Ti, I mean five hundred a week or you know, fifty bucks? What do you? I mean? What do you? Is that? Even? It? Is that a brainer of any sort? That's a no brainer. So where is this? Okay? I'm looking well, actually here, Um, do you have the story yet? Russ? I'm gonna send it to you because there's tons of photos of this.

It's actually pretty impressive for a bunch of meth heads. I'm not gonna lie, man, But there's also a map and all that good stuff in the article, so we can tweek that out meth wires on. Let's send that over to Ross. I'm fascinated by this. Sorry, I should have done that before started yammering about it. Dude, this is this is crazy. Look at all the decorated the treehouse in the middle is bonkers. I'm sorry. Four story treehouse, welcome center, rental center. Ten dollars a

night. What a deal? What a deal? Also seen within the bizarre community, abandoned trampolines, the four story treehouse. It looks like something like out of like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, right, Like, it looks like Rufio is going to be coming down a skateboard or something high on myth. Yeah, he's gonna say, but he's gonna be high on meth. That's the important part. Officers said that various other areas of the island

had also been booby tracked by the occupants to prevent outsiders from visiting. However, I guess if you paid the rent, they told you not where where not to go? This is intricate. Holy cow man, all right, we'll check this out. We'll tweet this bad boy out for you. Yeah, look at that welcome sunder sign. What is that nugget? Ink? What is that? Is that a gambling Do they have a cause? They have a casino? What in the hell? Man, where's the hospital?

That's where the meths at? Right. The problem, they said, is, you know, to your point, though, how it looks like something out of Peter Pan. Now you understand why if you look at a picture, why kids would see that and be like that looks awesome. Right if you saw that from a distance with a four story treehouse and a trampoon. If I was a kid like walking, you'd have to be walking across that bridge. Dude, I totally get that. How was a kid saw that

four story treehouse? I'll be all over it. It looks like something out of like Animal Kingdom at Disney. Yeah, if it was clear, you know, there wasn't some of the trash and stuff that does. It looks like a Disney mock up of like a Kid's Island Paradise or something. Dude, that is crazy because it sounds nice other than the booby traps, meth and hobos. Yeah. Absolutely, maybe you can flip it to an Airbnb. All right, we'll check this out. We'll tweeted out at Casey on

the radio. Yeah, you have to see this to understand why. I'm just curious why it took officials so long. All right, So coming up on the show, Jeff Bellinger will join us. Also, we had a little Snopes issue over the weekend. I gotta share with you. And right now, Jeff enos here from the Weather Channel. Not gonna go great. Later today, let's get into that. What's up stray shours and storms on

the way this afternoon. The problem is though these storms could pack a punch, large hail, damaging winds, heavy rain, and just reading the discussion from the National Weather Service can't rule out the possibility for an isolated tornado. So just keep your eyes, eyes to the sky. As we used to say, mostly sunny otherwise and headed up to ninety one a hot day heat

index as high as one hundred. But then those storms really start to fire up tonight as we fall back to sixty six for the overnight low, and it looks like by midnight or so they should be done with Tuesday, we're mostly sunny, temperature drops back down to eighty six behind that frontal system, and then we'll see maybe a slight chance for showers and storms. Looks like the highlight of the week is Wednesday with sunshine and eighty seven because following that,

temperatures start to get hot again. Okay, thank you much, sir, appreciate it. Sorry going yep, and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on smart Talk all day nine four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Try good morning, everybody. It is eight fifty one here on your Monday. You're Bloomberg update now, Jeff Bellinger, what's going on? Well, good morning, Casey.

Right now, the Dow futures are down ten points. IBM announced this morning it is buying Aptio I management software from its private equity owner for four point six billion dollars. Big

Blue says this deal will speed the advancement of its own automation capabilities. They were among the heroes of the pandemic, but now nurses have had enough. An AMN Healthcare survey found nearly a third of the nation's registered nurses would like to change professions. If masses, massive numbers of people quit nursing, it would be a huge problem for the healthcare industry, which already has a labor

shortage. Some good news for renters, at least in some parts of the country, rents have eased for the first time since realtor dot Com started keeping track in twenty twenty. The median asking rent for the nation's fifty biggest metros is down half a percent from a year ago. It is projected they will continue to drop, but a lot of rents expect to be renting for the

rest of their lives. Two out of five renters surveyed by Divvy Holmes said they would probably have to win the lottery in order to become home owners. Retailers have been hit by a wave of extortion attempts by criminals who claim to have planted bombs in stores. Callers threatened to detonate the bombs unless they get payments in the form of gift cards, bitcoin, or cash. Police and several states tell The Wall Street Journal that Walmart, Kroger, Whole Foods,

and other chains have received the calls. And Spider Man Across the Spider Verse was back on top of the nation's movie theaters over the weekend. Casey com Score estimates the Sony film took in more than nineteen million dollars. Last week's winner, Warner Brothers. The Flash fell to third place behind Disney Pixar's Elemental Casey What Indiana Jones opens this week or something. I'm not sure when that comes on. I've seen quick, yeah, I've seen pictures, all right,

Well, then that's your favorite, Andrew Lee your favorite, So there you go. All right, thanks Jeff, Okay, take ye all right? Uh Jeff Falonser there Bluttomberg News that's superinvested in the franchise. Oh. I thought we were gonna get out of here without this, but unfortunately we're not gonna get

out of here without this. Hold on, wrong one, wrong one. Here we go. That's some breaking news this morning. Ross What's up? Power is out again in wake Forest for about one hundred customers, and they think it might it's possibly related to the outages we had all weekend that we're fixed because there was a switch though was Bro and they fix fixed the switch except for about one hundred customers right where we live. Just switch. What

do you think they mean? Nintendo switch? At this point? Hey, I'm just happy they updated their social media, which was my main concern this morning. If there's a problem, please just updated, tell people what the issue is and they don't freak out. Well now they'll well, but now they'll be like, oh, we did up. We said it was fixed, and now it's obviously not fixed, so we look stupid. So right,

damned if you do, damned if you don't. Right there. So, not only did they update it, which is kind of a win for you, but you also won the lottery, right because you're one of like a hundred households. Is not that many. Yeah, it looks like it's just like downtown. Well, it is the hottest part of the day, it is, so yeah, and probably the worst weather we'll see today. Yeah, if you just don't believe what Jeff Eno told you, so got that going for you? All right, Well, I'm sorry you're dealing with

that again. Speaking of dealing with stuff. Um, it's from the Washington Post this morning. Meta's new AI lets people make chatbots, but that's not really what they're using it for. All right. So there's two there's two thought process on AI. There's open AI, Microsoft, Google, whatever, who all have taken the approach that they need to rigorlessly rigorously control what the

AI models, how they think tab topics people they won't discuss. And you see it evidenced in what comes across as a bit of a partisan manner, whereas Facebook i e. Meta has they're on the other the other side of

this, and there's they're not the only one open source AI. So basically they feel that this model is part of a something that allows people to truly customize the AI, that it involves putting code out that's freely available to the public with no such restrictions, and open source AI advocates I believe elon Musk is one a seat, is a way around corporate control, which is good for entrepreneurs, academics, artists, and activists who can ex experiment freely with

the technology. Although some say this is the club where the doom and gloom AI is going to come from. However, that's not what they've seen. So since the launch and the development of the different tools around around this particular AI, which a Meta thought would initially attract entrepreneurs, academics, artists, activists, you name it, um, where do you what do you think has happened with the vast majority of the open AI development. Okay, so

the big tech companies are not keeping the reins on this. It's out there. Meta thought, Hey, this would be great everyone to use it. For a bunch of different things. The overwhelming majority of the individualized specialized AI products that Meta has offered, ally is what it's called, are currently being utilized. What do you think they're being utilized for? Ross? Just guess, just guess, guess. Guests, guests. You can do whatever you

want with the AI. They think it's going to change the world. Everyone's gonna use it for all sorts of cool stuff. But yeah, it's porn. Whoop, yep, porn chatbots. They're using it for sex. Baby. This is crazy, but not altogether unpredictable. Yeah, this has long been the thing. This is why, like Apple was so like controlling of it. It wasn't just for porn stuff, but companies like that level of control. They were able to monetize it greatly too, with how much you

get if you have an app on there that does billing. But that's why you don't see that stuff slipping in. This is AI. So they told people, hey, use it for whatever you want. And then people are like, great, I'm going to create a chatbot who talks dirty to me. And now they're like, how do we steer people? You know what they sound like. Do you remember the interview with the CEO of only fans

who's like, how did it turn into this? Yeah, for a while, they're like, we're not gonna have any more that we're going to stop on it. And they were like, oh, our money's gonna go away. So they're Tumbler, right, that was remember Tumbler. Yeah, Tumbler like didn't have restrictions. And then it turned into nothing but you know, porn, and they're like, we're gonna do it with the porn and they were out of business and what like five minutes. So I don't know what

you do here. Maybe just let all the purr get it out of their system if they want an AI chatbot whatever. Who am I to judge? I still think open AI is the way to go because I'm seeing the examples of what the big companies are doing and how bias it is. But no, I am not surprised. Do you know I have I have that the headset, you know, the VR headset. Do you know the first person people or the first question people will always ask, even not the first question,

do they always ask it? Like a friend of a friend wants to know like does that thing have born on it? Too? And I'm like, you know, I'm sure there's some jailbroke things, but yeah, it's weird. That's your first question though,
