Monday-07-17-2023

All right, good morning everybody. It is uh well, it is six o seven here on the case O Day Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Gonna be another weatherwise, pretty miserable week. We'll talk to race Stagent coming up a little later. Get in on that. And then after a miserable week, then it's gonna get hotter or something. I don't know. We will we will, we will chit chat. You got ross. You guys didn't melt over the weekend. So

that's good. No melting over at the Hayes household. No, I think we're fine. Oh good, good, good, good good. So, um, you know I saw something over the week I saw something over the weekend. Um, did you see Tom Cotton yesterday? The senator from Arkansas? Do you remember we interviewed him? Not that long ago. I can't even remember why we interviewed him, but mostly I think it was I know it was during college football, because I was very concerned that Arkansas couldn't cover

a line. Um he was, he was, he was on Fox News. I can't remember who was interviewing him. I just saw a little snippet of this. Well, Y gotta tell you, I was a little surprised. One of the questions that I think it was Shannon Bream whatever whoever was interviewing him, asked about the now closed investigation into the cocaine at the White House, all right, where investigators obviously became stymied. They couldn't figure out who might have done it. They didn't have it, he leads, there

was a pool of suspects. They were thrown around, allegations like Rando construction worker. I mean, they just didn't know. And M. Cotton mentioned something My thought was pretty interesting. Again, I'm not a I'm not a detective, Okay, I'm not a member of law enforcement. I'm not one of these guys on the first forty eight right, utilizing their experience instant techniques to get to the bottom of um uh, these these crimes that they tackle.

But Cotton recommend mentioned that at no point, apparently in the investigation did anyone ask Hunter Biden anything about it. Ah. Um, let me give you a hypothetical. I could for just a moment, um Ross, let me ask you a question. UM. Let's say that somebody, let's say that UM one of the UM one of the salespeople, okay, decided to bring in a big old styrophone to go box full of two dozen gourmet,

delicious, perfectly cooked chicken wings. All right, they brought him in, put him in the old put him in the fridge over in the break room there the community fridge, and somehow they went missing. And let's say somehow they went missing. I don't know during the how dare you, sir? How dare you? Wait? Hold, I'm simply looking at the hot wing saw us on my face as we speak as you say this, Well, I just want I was downstairs and I was accosted by a crazed chicken wing

eating homeless man. Oh no, he made out. He accosted me. I was accosted, Yeah, I get him a victim. Set the scenario. Victim, sir, I didn't even apologize. You need to resign the Why are you trying to bite your own ear? What's going on? Let's just say that the hot wings went missing between the hours of I don't know, five am and nine am. I was accosted and and nobody knows what

happened. Where did the chicken wings go? What could it be? Don't you think, based solely on one's work schedule, that maybe investigators could come up with a smaller list. Okay, it sounds like profiling, and it sounds like an infringement upon my civil liberties the time people work, I mean, yes, Terry, my buffalo Bill's head, and you sussume they're sauce all over it. I don't know why they already explain this. I'm not

doing it again. How do you not interview Hunter Biden? You don't ask a question of the known addict that lives in the White House again, I'm not I'm not I'm not Sherlock Holmes, I'm not Boyer, I'm not. Uh uh was it Jessica Fletcher? Was that a character name on Murder sheer Row? I'm not her. But if a bunch of chicken wings went missing between the hours of five am and nine am on a weekday out of the community fridge, and and let me tell you, solving who might have taken

food from a fridge at a radio station not that easy. I've known people who worked overnight shifts who would literally like put pizza in there and they're the only one in the building and their pizza would disappear. Is that what happened? Was it your pizza that's got stolen or I don't remember who's pizza. No, it's mine. It was two nights. How did that happen? Like I had a pizza, I was very hungry. I picked it up. I came to work. This is when I did this seven to twelve

shift. One oh five. Yes, and I went and I went there and I put it in the fridge. I got their prior round. I would't want to say, like four thirty five o'clock because I had some other shows out a voicetrack, So I'm going to PROD studio. So I put it in the fridge, went to the PROD studio, sat down and said, oh, I forgot my water. So I got up literally ten seconds later, walked down the hallway, opened the fridge to get a water because

the waters are free in there, and tenah gone. No pizza completely gone in ten seconds. So maybe that Poultre guys that stole your pizza also stole the chicken wings. I mean, that's a silty conscience, That's what I'm thinking. I don't know, I don't know appreciate the accusation. It's an infringement upon my civil liberties. It looks like twelve small animals died in your studios are false? False, malicious lies? Is that an archaeological side of

some sorts? I don't appreciate you disparaging my character. I have no further questions or answers at this time. I am him. I'm simply putting forward that, you know, maybe using some of these advanced investigative techniques might have yielded a smaller pool of suspects. That's the only thing I'm implying this morning. And some folks have already lawyered up, so um any who? Yeah, So, never never asked him about that? What was the scenario,

Cotton? I think Cotton said something. He's like, it's it's like if it's like if the Hamburglar lived there and all the Hamburgers got stolen, which I think he is a he's a fair assessment. So yeah, it's this is like if the Hamburglar lived at the White House and all the Hamburgers disappeared, but they didn't have any suspects or no who to question? Pretty close, pretty close right there, all right? Phone number eight eight eight three

four seven eight seven four. Lots more to get to here on your Monday hang on, thank you can see it's on ninety four five WUPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. I've just been handed a season desist by a team of lawyers on behalf of some of I'm not allowed to name because there's a gag order on it right now. And I just feel this is an aggressive amount of lawyering. If somebody has nothing to hide over the chicken wings, which never existed, but we're used simply

as a device to explain the absurdity of things. So, um, yeah, found that a little weird this morning. Wait, Boston Paul emailed, don't ask, don't tell. Really, is that, Boston Paul, when you were solving crimes or night sticking poor folk or you know, whatever you used to do. You're telling me that the thought wouldn't have occurred to you to interview the drug addict that lives at the house if they found drugs again,

not a detective. I mean, yeah, I fire you, I would I would tread lately or unless you want to get another letter from Cordell and Cordell. That is my my crack legal team, which I get through the radio stations. Actually, Cordell and Cordell and ray Epps's attorney. Jay's got fairn oh Farrell? Is it fairn nor fairing? Yet? Ye jas? Which one the old one or the newest one? The new one?

Oh? Okay, all right, well stupid me. So we have access to any of the lawyers who advertise and it's the lawyer from the Simpsons too. That's what was that kind? I mean it's possible, yeah, I could looks he's famous. So what are you gonna do? All right? So that took a that took a dark turn. Um, let's see here, don't interview the drug addict? Come on, are you as serious? I did see. They actually said that there was like five hundred people they

did not interview. And they did not quote five hundred including Hunter, but five because they didn't want want to infringe in their civil liberties. Oh they said there was a danger of doing that, so they just were not going

to do it. Is that a policy now where police don't at least attempt to consensual encounter and ask some questions or because I don't know, I thought police still would ask questions of stuff like that and then look and then if somebody goes, I'm not talking to you, I don't answer questions, you know, and then they you know, they beat them with a nightstick. Then fine, I'm with you. We don't need to be doing that. But I think you're allowed to make some inquiries pretty sure, unless there was

some big law change that I missed over the weekend. But that's just me, and you know that's it's literally Monday morning, so I'm Monday morning quarterbacking, I guess, if you want to be technical about it. So yeah, I found that a little weird and apparently strangely enough, if you look on Twitter, I'm not the only one who finds that a little strange,

crazy stuff. All right, a few other things going on. I did enjoy this big long are this Pearl clutch or article about what cities, especially cities like San Francisco I need to do to turn around what's going on with their downtown. And I like how they're pretending that San Francisco was somehow just you know, it's kind of like the other ones with some of the same issues that many downtowns and bigger cities are facing, including here in North Carolina.

And then they touch on a few issues that might also be involved. So we'll touch on that, but it is part of a larger discussion that city leaders in Raleigh are having Greensboro, Charlotte, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, you name it. Man. And ironically, to some extent, it's a bit of a self inflicted wound where they and to kind of skip right over that. So we are that folks are mad at in and out Burger, which I think it's for a funny reason. And this headline local

election officials say proposed NC election changes would be disruptive. And then there was another headline of another article. I didn't put it in the stack here because it basically said the same thing, but along the lines of Republicans want to make are making it harder to vote this election season, and it speaks to a few changes that are being proposed um as of yet not pass legislation,

you know, things like signature matching. And we'll go we'll go over what's on the list, and what I find interesting this is the this is the usual, right whether it'll be like, well, we have a letter, we have a letter signed by a group of bipartisan individuals, and then therefore that negates any um, you know, debate over a particular issue, right, you're not allowed to then go, oh, well, we'll look if if a bipartisan group, you know, if if one Republican said that they

happen to agree with the Democrats, then um, you know, why are we here anyways? And then you flip that right where somebody who was a Democrat, and not just for about five minutes, but somebody who had previously served multiple terms as perhaps a voting member of the General Assembly as a Democrat, decided that she wanted to do part ways over a particular issue. It's

it's the witchiest of witch hunt you've ever seen talking about Tricia Coughtam. Now, obviously she want to step further and switch parties there, but all of the people, especially those who have nothing to do with North Carolina that are analyzing this going, well, she was obviously she was a secret Republican that was ran in this district just so she could flip after ignoring the fact that she had previously held off as multiple times and her family members like legacy Democrats.

So yeah, well we'll get to that. And I have some questions from some of those who signed the letter but then didn't want to go on the record. So we're on that coming up after the news, keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. A right, good morning, welcome back.

It is thirty five here on the Cacody Radio program. I saw this being passed around over the weekend, or this story, and I got to admit I didn't even click initially on the links because I didn't recognize any of the sites, and it just it kind of it looked like BS. But eventually this morning before the show, I did read a piece on this,

and it's actually legit. So there was a report that a letter from a Confederate soldier from eighteen sixty four, Confederate Lieutenant William Dandridge Pitts, that is such a Civil War Civil War era name right Dandridge. He penned a letter in an attempt to assess the well being of his brother Charles. That letter

now is up for auction for collectors. And let's just say it's if you were to gues estimate in your head what might be contained in a Civil War era letter penned by one soldier, because like if you if you've ever watched the Civil War, the documentary series. You know, one of the elements that they use in that series is letters and diary entries and the way that people wrote back then, right crazy man, Especially when it's like letters from

soldiers to their you know, to their um, to their bow. It's quite the it's quite the departure from how people communicate, say on like, I don't know social media these days. You know, you have this this this this flourished calligraphy style writing with um, lots of adjectives and a lot of words we don't even use anymore. It's a very very very interesting dynamic,

especially when you consider the education level of the average soldier. But these letters and these diary entries persist, and we just we don't write like that anymore. This one, on the on the other hand, it's got some wow, it's got some stuff in it. But hey, if you're a collector, especially a collector of some odd of these, you may like this. I'll explain it here in just a moment. Let me grab a call real quick. Yes, Donna, what's up this morning? Good morning,

Casey. I just want to say that, well, a couple of things. Actually, your comparison is contemptible to news unmentioned Well, I don't know, compared to you compared Hunter Biden to an unnamed person, and it was almost criminal what you did. I didn't hold on, I are you referring to my chicken wing anecdote where you know I was just there's a season,

this season slide around there. I didn't compare to any individual person. I was pointing out that there are people who work the morning shift, and if something happened during the morning, it would make sense to interview all the people's you know, who work in the morning. I didn't narrow it down other than that. Now, some people just for no reason, what's legal term, offered an excited utterance nothing. There's nothing I can do about that.

Again, not a lawyer. That's true, Yeah, that's true. Okay. So the other thing is that if they didn't ask Hunter, he didn't have to lie or say I plead the fifth. So that's why they didn't ask to cover his behind, Well, he could, you know, he could simply feign uh the inscrupulous unscrupulous line of questioning without ever having to answer it. That would be the the real lawyered thing to do. You know, how dare you right there? Don't you know who I am, right,

Yeah, no, that's what I'm expect so exactly. I like uh, I like, um the idea of beating him as a Boston Paul's Billy Club good idea. I did not suggest, I want to be very clear, and I did not suggest that beat anyone under secret service protection. Donna. Yeah, have a great day, Casey. Yeah, your cat, your guard pat going to protect you when the swat team comes in, like

the ind of National Lampoons. Yes, and why didn't you share that cat video I sent to you where the guy his cat likes his his neighbor better than him and he called him a cat pervert? Did you not see that? Is that the one that you said after the show was done Friday when we went to the weekend? Maybe yeah, yeah, it might have been. No, it was Thursday. You could have played a Friday. But you you know what, how dare you? How dare you an? You're

a cat pervert? Have a great day. I look, I'm not the one who's deer all covided up because so you've been making out with him or something? Loop this on me? How does it? Cats do? Man? They'll trade you in in a minute. They don't feel that they're getting everything that they feel that they're entitled to. They'll be over at your neighbor's

house in a hot second. That's how. Is that how Hobo Cat ended up in your guys's life, right, Cats like you know what I deserve more, bore everything, And then boom started visiting the neighbors, right, starry visiting. I'm sure Hobocat didn't just visit you guys basically anyone to give Hobo Cat attention, right, That's how That's how cats roll. Man. So I'm just saying, Donna, moment you don't treat that cat right, it'll be out. You'll find itself another person. That's how they roll.

No loyalty, all right. So anyway, in the oh, you know what, I was just thinking about this ross do we have that? Remember that old timing music we used to make fun of stay qui Wow, look at that he's got the ken Burns bet already. That's what I'm talking about. This is literally the stuff you would hear when they were reading the letters.

So in the in the letter, let's see here in eighteen sixty four, Pitts, the lieutenant of the Confederate Army, is trying to check on the well being of his brother, who was an inmate at the Western Lunatic Asylum, which I'm sure in eighteen sixty four was a great place to be mid eighteen hundreds Lunatic Asylum. He was an inmate there, and so he wrote a letter to the superintendent of the facility attempting to be apprized of his

brother's condition. His brother had also been a private in the same outfit as his brother, but was discharged due to an unspecified illness. Well, it turns out the unspecified illness is was a bit of a corporal clinger thing. He wasn't dressing in dragged but he was kicked out of the Confederate Army because he was a chronic self pleasurer right right in front of all the other soldiers

he was serving with. And it was so problematic so as to imply that they thought he had a mental condition, so they kicked him out of the military and put him in the lunatic asylum. That's what the letters about. So it's not it's not what you thought you were dealing with, which you know, just think of that visual right your your your forces have been gathered

at Gettysburg. Right, you've got the get the line there, you know, ready to um undergo one of the bloodiest military actions from a US casualty standpoint in the history of America. People are lined up, they've got their muskets at the ready, the second line is ready following the first volley, and they're going to get after this while strangely people are literally picnicking on high ground nearby to watch it like it's, uh, you know, an exhibition

ball game of some sort, but you know, that's what they did back then. And everybody's getting ready to get down to business, and Private Pits is over there with his pants down. It blies. I think some of the visual that you might would you close your eyes and think about that day, that horrific day in our nation's history, it's not really the first thing

that pops into your mind. Right. I've had some conversation with a physician who attended my brother previous, who is going to the asylum, wrote Lieutenant Pitts, And he advises me to inform you that he has learned from some of my brothers associates who were also in the military camp with them, that he was addicted to self alone time, So he's trying, he's trying to tip off the doctors as to what might be up. And for those of you who think I made the Gettysburg reference on my own, it wasn't me.

Actually was a reference made by James Talbe, associate curator of the Museum of the American Revolution. Apparently his entire regiment was forced to bear witnesses to his ailment. Yeah, yeah, I like how they said is where his fellow soldiers were, no doubt scarred by the visual. Really, you think that's the thing, wighe most heavily in their minds, they engaged in brutal

combat with their fellow countrymen. You think that's what they're You think that that's what they're thinking back on where they're having the you know, the the nightmares about not the the horrific scenes of battle in the US Civil War, but rather one of the other privates who couldn't keep his pants up, nicknamed oh good, good lord, nicknamed Johnny rub a play on Johnny Rebb. See what they did there. Pitts was originally from Virginia, which does label itself

for lovers. I would point that out. The actual letter is described by the auction house is quote very fine with only very minor war and original fold lines, and it wouldn't even be although probably this will drive the price up current bid or excuse me, the opening bid was just one hundred and twenty

five dollars. I have not seen what it is now. However, if you go to the auction house website, they use hashtags, you know, tags on items to help people search through all the stuff, and among the hashtags are civil war, which is appropriate, and erotica, which is something

else entirely. Man, can you imagine this being your thing during the Civil War, when basically the remedy for wounds in any of the extremities was just to lop it off the danger that you must feel every day if this is how you apparently spend most of your day, much much to the horror of your fellow soldiers, that at any point a musket ball could find itself in your favorite arm, and before you know it, now you're having to pretend it's another person, or god forbid, they get both your arms, then

what do you do? I mean, this is the very real fear that private pits dealt with on the day to day basis, which eventually drove him to the lunatic asylum, with his family members having to write a series of letters to assess how he's doing, and imagine the changing courses of the of the Civil War if it was in fact to other Confederate soldiers who found themselves

with this affliction. Ross, how far do you think Sherman would have gotten across Georgia if he had to stop every thirty minutes, you know, for that game changer? Right? No? I think it would still burn, you think, But he's busy, would care? He's busy man, So you don't. He's not even going back in his tent. He's just he's just up on his horse, right, I guess he's he's the general. Nobody can really say anything starting fires and then you know, back to that.

I don't know. So anyway, if you want to own a piece of history, now's your chance, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four dude, hey man, history's history. Sometimes it's just more interesting than others. All right, h six fitty hang on, This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk w PTI in the Triad. That's funny, isn't releasing this letter? A hip

of violation. Well, I mean, man, the brothers asking about medical care, and he's trying to have a conversation with the doctor, and I don't know, maybe I'm not sure anyone's suing. I think people just want the I just want the letter man. My dearest Clara, my heart longs

for you. As I share a tent with my bunk made Virgil, who once again has no pants on, and while we try to sleep before heading into what maybe the bloodiest day of our campaign, I hear a slow smacking sound in the background, which distracts me from pouring out my heart upon these pages. It's a problem. You tell me you don't want that in your collection. Come on, man, you can write, You could do a

whole you could you base a movie on that. Of course, if you did it, would you know, Virgil would now be a you know, a woman, probably an empowered woman in a wheelchair with a job. You know, So you can get the maximum amount of diversity and tick as many

boxes as possible for your civil war error trauma. And it's okay because it's just better representing things for a modern audience, like I don't know, a several hundred year old fairy tale based out of Germany, which gives very specific indicators of individual characters, perhaps background, but hey, you're Disney, so you do whatever the hell you do. Yeah, that story coming up. Hang on, all right, good morning everybody, and happy Monday. Yeah,

like paring those two words together. K c O D Radio program here at seven h seven, anybody else fall down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole on Twitter over the sound of Freedom movie over the weekend. The amount of people that are going like deep dive on this and basically, this is this is the this is what I see claimed, and I'm sure there is some accuracy

to it. Basically that the individual at the forefront where this Hollywood story kind of takes its inspiration, may have embellished some of his stories about pushing back on the exploitation and trafficking of children, right, and so they're like, ah, he says he was here at this time, but technically somebody else

was over there. I don't know what to make of all of it, but I don't know that that detracts from the larger issue, and the fact remains that some of the individual busts that were made, Like one of the conspiracies is technically he wasn't the one who instigated the bust. It was somebody else. Okay, But did they bust a bunch of people that were literally going to traffic children? Like, you're not pushing back on that. Here's

the here's why I point this out. You know should how many times have you watched a movie that is reportedly you know it's it's a true story, except what did they say? They don't even use the word based on anymore. What do they say in the opening credits or it's somewhere in the opening

or closing credits. If they're doing a story that is loosely based on something historical or somebody's book or whatever, it is inspired by true events, right, that's the Hollywood, inspired by true events, which allows them to go do whatever the hell they want to do. So they will do things like completely reinvent the historical perspective of the tribe of women for the purpose of putting

the woman king together. Right, so they'll they'll pretend like they weren't at the forefront of the slave trade, or that it was a natural progression of the women among the societal ranks, and not the outright obliteration of most of their male soldiers at the hands of another tribe that they warred with, which, look, it's still an interesting story, but they changed a bunch of

stuff there. And the fact remains that in this instance, I see people that are of the And now here's the conspiracy theory since I started with that. The reason, the only reason that they have these box office numbers, which were pretty impressive, is because some rich Republican is buying all the movie

tickets across the country so that the numbers are inflated. But if you go to the theater, it's empty and there's nobody in there watching it, which, by the way, let me ask you this because obviously the whole thing bothers you immensely. Oh or that you know this was born of this was a q conspiracy thing, never mind that the literal production of the movie actually

proceeds all of the qan on stuff. I don't know if you're aware of that, but if you honestly you have this huge problem with, for whatever reason, a movie that is calling attention to the sexual exploitation of children. If you're if you really think that some big mega donor out there is buying all these tickets, but people are not going to the theater and thus being exposed to this propaganda as you refer to it. Isn't that like best case

scenario for you? Why would you say anything? If your goal is you don't want people seeing this movie and your conspiracy is that people are not seeing this movie, wouldn't you shut up and take the dub am I wrong on this. I mean it's it's not even a real exciting conspiracy. There's no

lizard people. I guess there's a bit of an Illuminati vibe when you're talking about these faceless rich movie donors who think that the best way to spend their spend their money on political issues, some sixty three million dollars whatever the weekend take was the week before is to fund empty theaters. Ironically, you could

argue it would be more effective and keeping people from seeing it. Right, So, if you're some moon bad organization and you don't want people go into this movie for whatever reason, because you don't want attention drawn to child trafficking, maybe you guys should buy all the tickets so nobody can go see it. Again. I'm not a lawyer, as we learned earlier, I'm not a I'm not a detective. But I am somebody who's able to do a

little critical thinking every now and then. This is like, this is your this is your dream man, empty theaters, nobody's seeing it, should love it. Anybody who went to Sound of Freedom was were you the only one there? Apparently you were the only one there? You dupe because they were.

They were running with that. Meanwhile, Hollywood's doing that. They're also deciding, hey, you know what, we're doing so good with all of our Hollywood, with all of our remakes, because we have no original ideas, Let's let's take yet another known and loved iteration of many people's childhood and uh yeah, updated for modern audience. We'll do that in the form of Snow and the Seven Companions. Yes, as Disney once again goes to the

well for a live adaptation of one of their classics. Some people are raising questions as what were purported to be photos from the from the set hit the internets, but then we were told they were not they were fake, But now apparently they are real, although some of them may have a stand in or something, so I guess they are correct. And you see Snow white and you see her seven, I can't use the D word because that is politically incorrect. So we go with seven companions, of which only one of

them is of a shorter varietal the rest ross. Do you remember all the photo the mugshot collections when they were resting Antifa in Portland, right, and you get a look at all of the all the Antifa folks with their colored hair and the yeah, very similar. The one guy's literally wearing an ironic scarf in there with like Goodwill clothes and the whole hipster vibe. Man,

it's crazy, and that's one of the companions. Again not dwarves, but it's more than that a lot of people are hanging their hat on what the hell are you doing? And it is interesting because I guess the beef arose when somebody was interviewing what Peter Dinklage from a Game of Thrones fame, where he's like, this is an outdated portrayal of people, of of little people, and yet like he's the only little person in there and he's playing a

dwarf. Whereas then you have six other individuals who are very diverse. What do you think the how many genders you think we're dealing with in the seven companions? A minimum of three, right, I would thank a different gender for every companion. Every companion different gender. Do you notice how not one of them is in a wheelchair? Did you pick up on that when you're looking at the the thing there the photo? Do you see how they did

not have any portrayal of people with disabilities. Now, some would say, I saw somebody bring that up, and then somebody in the in one of the greatest cell phones I've seen in some time, and I had to check their account to make sure that they weren't sarcastically going along with it, said, that's dumb. Because of the era in which Snow White is based,

they wouldn't have had wheelchairs. MM, so what you're telling me is based on the original story in this one particular instance, it's absurd to think that producers would have deviated outside of that story to inject their diversity, politics and representation. So on that front, you would be like, you're absurd thinking that one of the companions would have some sort of medical assistance device, a mobility device. That's just dumb because those weren't around, Which is ironic because

there's actually movies include pirates like Pirates of the Caribbean. I saw somebody post a screenshot of this where one of the pirates is in but it's like an old time he made out of like, you know, bamboo wood chair, wheelchair. I because I have a feeling I don't know much about pirrating um other than you know, some riots and some movies and stuff and h rum

um. I'm pretty sure that if you were a pirate who was in a wheelchair, they you probably didn't have a very like you weren't getting hired, and that they didn't have ad a compliant ramps in most of the pirate ships. But yet you know, in in in in an adaptive way, they actually had that included in one of the big city scenes there in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. And I just found that very interesting. So but no, this guy's like, that's absurd that you would think that

they would have these companions. Well is it absurd? Then when you sit there one and you look at the movie as most people know it, but you also look at the story on which it is based, in which the author gives a very specific description of the characters, including snow White, who is referred to as that based on the author's own description of her skin being as white as snow and her lips as red as and it goes through this.

So there is a very accurate character depiction there. Yet the actress that they hired is actually she's a Hispanic actress. But if she's a really light skinned Hispanic actress, I don't think people are going to notice a huge difference there. And it's absurd that we have to get into this because I don't think people would have cared if you weren't shoving everything down their throat. And we've seen where it didn't look like diversity for diversity's sake in other instances where

stories are told, Um, what's the one I'm thinking of? James West? All right, James you know do you know the character James West is ross? Do you know James West is uh none, off the top of my head, uh, Wild Wild West? Remember the movie Wild Wild Okay, that's James Wetton. So James West. If you look back at the at this this story, which is a comic book related story, James West is white. Well, do you remember who played James West and Wild Wild

West? Will Smith? Will Smith and nobody really had a beef over there there. I think the larger beef was they didn't think the movie was very good, right, Um, Like nobody had a beef over for a couple of reasons. One there hadn't been a big screen adaptation of that, and two people didn't think they were shoehorning Will Smith in there to achieve a diversity quota. They thought they were putting Will Smith in it because he could make a song wow wow last, and he was he was the it guy in

Hollywood for stuff like that. Right. People were like, Oh, you're putting him in there because he's a huge draw. And there you go, and he would be the first two you know, I depict James West at least in the in the excuse me, big Hollywood adaption, But it's not just the U. But now people see you doing this stuff, and then they look at snow White and again, if you had had this hispanic actress plan, I don't know that anyone would have questioned it. And then you

decide to make a note of how they're not the Seven Dwarves. They were the seven Companions, and they're very diverse, and some of them are women. Now I shouldn't say that they appear to be female actresses, but I don't know how everyone identifies and they look like they look like a port and coffee shop. But that's not the only changes. There's a couple that weren't making it into the news that arguably you're part of even the bigger problem.

I'll share those with you coming up next. Hang on smart Talk all day, w PTI and the Triad and talk in the Triangle. Yes, when it comes to the Disney Live action snow White remake, it's more than just the dwarf slash companions that are updated for a modern audience. Also, the actor who is going to be the male lead. Don't read it as Prince Charming, he's out um now. The actor in real life is a gender

fluid man. I don't know how it's going to be portrayed, however, based on the description that rather than you know, snow White and Prince Charles and doing their thing, that instead snow White is going to quote find her own empowerment, God help us. Um. I don't does Disney at this point think they have to assume they're not going to make money on us right after everything they've seen, or did they sit there and honestly think, oh man, we did a great job. The only the only meme I was

waiting for. And then I finally saw it in those pictures of these seven companions and snow White was somebody to put the Browsers logo over the top. And I was not let down. One oh six one at them talked ninety four five WUTTI two stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey O'Day and Carolina's corning news. Um. Should we be worried about that? So I think we might want to we we maybe we should look at that.

That's just me. Of course. One person has been killed and more than one hundred hospitalized after an explosion at the world's largest uranium enrichment plant in central Russia. The incident and that's I mean, that sounds a little I know it's not a nuke plant per se, and it's um, but still, I don't know if you know this. The Russians have a history of not disclosing the totality of nuke related incidents chernobyl um. So that's the thing.

Also, they had they had an incident I think with what a reactor on one of their submarines too, or they were not forthcoming. So the incident at the Ural electro Chemical Combine in the sick, Rossier been in the rusick. You're thought of going taking a fan? Oh? Oh, was it good? Or was it like the one you had in Newark where you had to pay thirty dollars for? I mean, let's be honest, it can't be worse than Newark. So that's fair. That's one hundred percent fair right

there. Man. Newark is a pit, isn't it the last time? I No, it wasn't the last time. But I remember one of the most significant times I went through Newark is I was when I was flying to Ireland and it was it was I flight Continental, remember those guys, Yeah, back of the day. And I was on the flight from Minneapolis to

Newark and the Newark to Dublin, and that was that weird. That was a weird thing where we were on the flight and then all of a sudden, we're coming into Newark to land, and then they circle and we circle and we circle, which is not all that unusual. That airspace in and around New York City is crazy, and we circled so much and then eventually for no reason, like we're going to Philadelphia because we're going to run out of gas. And then we land in Philadelphia and obviously we don't pull.

The irony was there was a bunch of people near me that were Philly was where they were going. They're like, let us off the plane. But then they didn't go obviously to the gate because there isn't a gate for it, which I understood. But then they drove like way away from the main concourse and at one point they opened the plane and took a dude off. And then by the time we landed in Newark, we'd missed connections all of that. There was one other person on the plane it actually was going where

I was going. And then they're like, dah, just go to the customer service desk. They'll figure it out for you. And we go and there's nobody at the desk because it's like mid night now, because it's an overnight flight to Europe. Right, I was supposed to be part of like eleven thirty. We missed that connection, and um, just try to get out of Newark to go to a hotel was just nightmarish. Man, what a pit Although you did get initiated into the mob when you were there,

right and new accidentally, Yeah, what was the sandwich? I can't remember? It is gobbla goul gobblaul you see Ross ordered that and then boom, uh he's He's at an initiation on Staten Island in a basement. You should totally walk in there. I'm sure it'll be I'm wearing my best suit. Are you did your mom? Did you show it your mom? Dude, she should be so excited. Oh, she was so proud of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me know how you just call me later,

let me know how it goes. Hey, what happened to your friend Billy? I haven't seen him around you know what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, something I guess saw you at the bar drinking with Billy. H Yeah, he had to go get something. Oh okay, all right, because nobody's seen him for a while. So we're just kind we're soping Billy's okay because he had been in prison. I don't know if you know this, just gotten out. So goes to the bar and then boom, no

more, Billy can't find him. So anyway, show up at your initiation. Just you. It's in the basement, no problems. Ross is getting made maybe, so anyway, a hundred people hospitalized Friday. There's is wandering only it's Monday. You can't expect us to have any focus yet. We might get focused about Wednesday maybe, and then by Thursday you're like, oh,

it's almost Friday, and then by Friday, good luck. So anyway, the incident at the workshop in Jersus Slick happened after a cylinder which depleted uranium hexafluoride, which sounds like something that either is in a soda ingredient or that Aaron Brockovich would sue over, was depressurized, according to Russia's state nuke Corp okay so the government. According to the government which owns the plant,

Oh, nothing to see here. According to the Rostom is the name of the company based in Ursus Sick and owned by an oligarch I, no doubt. Depleted uranium hexafluoride is a byproduct of processing uranium into enriched uranium. The compound is less radioactive than natural uranium and shouldn't pose a threat to human Oh well, as long as the Russian government assures me that it shouldn't, I'm

sure there's nothing to worry about. Isn't the ural mountains where they have like that crazy What was the it's the big monster conspiracy thing though, the ditlov Pass, right, that's a thing you should It's d ytl ov or something. You should google that sometimes. That's a crazy story. Basically, a bunch of like hikers went into the mountains and then they all went crazy because monsters or something odd. They made a couple of movies out of it,

but the whole thing is fascinating. They actually did like a Blair Witch knockoff that was pretty good. I can't remember exactly what the name of it. I might have been just called ditlof Pass Incident or something I like. I like weird horror movies, so that probably was it. Yeah, I don't know if you want to I don't know if you want to have you right, But the whole thing was like the hikers then found like this underground secret

military base and maybe they strolled into this place. But yeah, you tell me that there was a big explosion and at least one person's dead, so now I assume more are and hundreds are injured. Where you're you know, Enrichie and Uranium. I'm gonna have some questions. I feel like we should have some questions. But I'm a naturally curious guy, all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four climate moon bats run them uck

over the weekend, getting a lot of news making horrible sounds. For some reason, Mom said, fo the mufflement upstate the most. Did you add those bleeps or resent in that cut? No, it was to believe that he was swearing in German? How do you know? Because they take German? Was he swearing? Was he was swearing in German? Yeah? He was, just because they were chiseling his hand out. I think is that a reason to swear? I guess because you're you put your hand in concrete

and now they're chiseling it out in your moonbat and you're upset. So uh yeah, I wondered, Ah, it's wrong with these people, man, how do you what did you think they were going to do? How are you going to get your hand out? That's the other thing, because people are like they should have left them. It's you know, they're doing it and they're choosling too, clo. What was the moonbat's plan? What was he gonna do? Let's say the police came and they're like, all right,

whatever do your protests? Went home? For the night. What were they gonna do? I'm serious, what was their plan? If police went, now you're good, protest away, they're Adolf or whatever, get your voice heard. That's what you should have done, and then just put a camera on it like they did at the Porsche place where the idiots went and

blued themselves to the floor. But never thought, Hey, what happens if they don't immediately remove us and we have to go to the bathroom or they shut the lights off and go home for the day, which is what they did, and they're like, it's cold, I have to go to the bathroom and I'm glued to the floor. These monsters. They did that, and then they decided to rush a congressional in this case, not baseball but a softball game. Oh I'll give you the details on that coming up.

But first, race stags here too, and let me do this race stagic form the Weather Channel. He's here via phone today. How you doing them this morning, serves? Why do you hate us? Well, you know this forecast, so I didn't do it. I didn't do it. It's probably some of the hottest there at least a stand that we've had so far this summer. Maybe in record territory. The only relief may come with them after in shower thunder showers. But I really don't know if that's gonna make

anybody smile, because I'm still going to be in the low nineties. I got mid nineties. If you don't get rain. Good news is is that there's no rain today. But the bad news is that means we're going to be in the mid nineties with some hazy sunshine around. Could get some showers thunder showers to pop up tomorrow. Still hot, humid, mid nineties, and as we get into Wednesday, load of mid nineties for the chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorm is going up just a little bit, so most of

us load of mid nineties again the next few days. Towards the end of the week, especially by the weekend, Macy tempaters come down just a little bit, but it's gonna be a hot week. Just a heads up for storm starting to fire each afternoon starting tomorrow, so the bookends look good today and Friday. Don't mention a rain. Yeah. I had some friends so many they were golfing and dam like, yeah, I'm good, Yeah, don't I don't even watch it. On TV, and I would watch it

on TV today rather than go play it. I don't know, it's too hot to watch golf on TV. Right, we got some good golf coming up. But still all right, man, appreciate it. We'll talking now, thank you. All right, there you go, Race aged from the Weather Channel joining us. All right, seven forty six kc O Day radio program. Uh yeah, so it's just gonna, you know, continue to suck. But we got lots of stories to get to in the comfort of your ac and we'll do it next. Hang on your day, Smarter one

FM. Talk More with Casey starts. Now. Well, I told you it was a busy week for the moonbats and uh in this case, Uh, they are so brave, stunning and brave. They literally had to brave snipers for their latest stupidity. So yes, in addition to idiots cementing themselves in in Germany and then being awe struck by police with chisels, Um, you have the button bar here with police with chisels. Them up sat the most. I can never I can never tell if they're happier now he sounds

unhappy. Us side of things, the folks decided, Hey, the congressional softball game which took place over the way, which is a thing, right, so they have I find this hilarious. Actually, so they have a congressional baseball game in a congressional softball game, right, so the men they play in the congressional baseball game and the women playing the congression most softball game.

So congress which has a bunch of members who are like gender doesn't exist, and this is burder and in reality, they have gender exclusive events. And this one also happens to be a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. Well, they decided to disrupt it. And those are the snipers they're referring to. They're talking about the increased security that finds itself attached to these congressional events. They jumped on the field and decided they were going to go and have

their message over their hatred of fossil fuels. Heard. That's an actual thing that happened. But you know, they weren't running from a chopper at Benghazi or whatever Hillary Clinton's dumb story was. They they jumped over a small perimeter fence that barely goes up to your knees, walked onto a field in matching T shirts, and narrated their own video. Looks like we're gonna have a

little stoppage in play to deal with the protests in the outfield. And remember this is their video, so that's one of their moonbats narrating this, I think, right, Ross, that's the impression you got, right, because it's no okay, so who who who do you think narrated this? But they walk onto the field too, And then it was posted on the climate Okay, all right, because it's their video, you agree that the Climate change people shot the video though, because it's in procession with the protesters,

maybe I'm reading this video. Well, it doesn't matter who shot the video. The fact is they did go on there. But you know they were like, oh we braved the snipers. You walk. You stepped over a fence that anyone who's of a decent amount of height, who's got an in seam, you know, higher than I don't know, thirty four thirty two, maybe could easily step over without ever having to dangle in the air. Right, you didn't. You didn't push through razor wire, so shut up.

And fossil fuels are what I'm seeing on the shirts and fussle bulls and fuzzle bulls long as buszle bulls bull It's interesting that's game, yes for charity, is being interrupted in a very prolonged way. Wait, wait, and I love this. I love the assertion in the middle of this video that it's some sort of gender discrimination thing that the women's game is being interrupted in

a prolonged way. Yeah. Uh, you think there's been any disruptions on the Republican or excuse me, on the baseball side of things that you can think of? I mean, it wasn't the game, like I don't know, maybe I don't know. Practice Ross, would you look it up? Would you see if there was ever any disruption associated with the congressional baseball game, because apparently it's simply targeting the women here, all right, Ross's gonna look that up. Oh, oh what or a bunch of Eco folks and

T shirts right jumped on the field. Now this one looks like a Burnie bro Oh he's in a Bernie shirt, jumped on the field and with his fist raised and hands up and screaming and videotaping right getting his message out? Was that? Was? That? Was that? How that went in the in the thing you found? Oh, it was always different. Okay, oh yeah, this stupid is deep. The men's was not. Huh what do you think that means? Still? Huh? I don't know. However,

what do you want him to start shooting at the women? How are you not aware of this? How do you not midset even if the thought didn't occur to you initially? How do you? Uh? Oh, I wonder if they got any popcorn over there? How do you not stop what you're doing in adjustice for some time now? He's delays sometimes I'm totally unrelated. Policy issues can often be very frustrating. We do see that from this is why I think the activists are narrating. I'm wearing team shirt there was

produced in Lamina Proleon products. Listen to me, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Well look at that. You got your air time targeting these women and not the men. Yeah, bigots. I don't believe any of these people. Don't they know about equality? All right, everything's dumb, and we got another hour of dumb coming your way next, so stick around for that. All right, Good morning everybody, and we welcome out our number three. It is eight o seven here on the ACO Gay Radio program.

Oh no, people are upset, Oh what are they mad about? So over the weekend there was one of those celebrity boxing matches. In fact, there's a whole thing that they do. Actually, there's several different iterations of this. This one's Kingpin um does a bar stool do like a fighting thing where they try to get like internet celebrities to fight each other. I

think they do well anyway. Kingpin Boxing had an event and one of them one of the fights on the card was let's see here two instagram or excuse me only fans models Daniella Hemsley and Alexandra danielco. So they fought in an exhibition about and the twenty two year old Hemsley. She won, and following her win, she did something that boxing aficionados and big high profile people in

the field are now very upset about. She pulled up her sports broad showed everyone or hoots right in the ring, right with everyone there, and it was it was quote widely panned by boxing experts. Ross I did a lot of research on this prior to the show, a lot of different angles that cameras they were live streaming this. Obviously when it happened and I thought wow, as somebody who was a fan of sports. I should look into this and I can confirm that is in fact what she did. Flash everybody there

but the promoter the event is apologized. Eddie Hearn, who is actually kind of a big deal in the world of boxing, and former female world champion Claressa Shields, who is one of the hosts and commentators, took issue with the celebration, calling it a quote vulgar display. Didn't you guys have a dude eat another dude's ear one time? I'm just I mean, we're just talking about the world of boxing here, but here's the other thing. You

want to grow your event. I don't know if this is not the worst way to go about it, because I had no idea that your whole thing existed. And then when I saw this, I'm like, well, I got to do my research, right. We we pride ourselves. I mean, well, researched here on the show, have the facts, and I can attest that she, in fact, the model did, in fact, you know, pull up her sports braw and show everybody or business, which, by the way, you hired an only fans model to fight another one,

and then you were surprised when she did only fans stuff. That's the other thing you're telling me. You couldn't, you know, for all of the now in the world of MMA for a while, like Ronda Rousey was the highest paid MMA fighter for a while. And I remember there's a famous little video snippet that gets put in a bunch of Internet montages where they're asking people about you know, they're asking her some interview was asking her about the

money she makes. She goes, I make what I make because I make them money. That's how it works, right. Seemed to have a pretty good grasp on the whole thing, But that's not always the case. And then especially when you get into boxing, people are like, why is men's

boxing? Why are the paydays for Like Floyd Mayweather can go out and fight some weird ex ambition against one some internet celebrity and make more money than any woman in boxing, And I would argue, well, there's options, just saying, looks like the only fans model who literally is famous for taking her shirt off, came to the event and took her shirt off and everyone's surprised.

And yet now you got more coverage for your little mini league that I'd never heard of than anything out there, So maybe she was just doing it to really, maybe she was making sure that the body shots didn't cause any bruising. She was just concerned, like you don't know, people are busting on her for no reason. That's a pun, by the way, get it okay. She actually said that she had initially had tassels attached. However, she became sweaty during the boxing match, and when she did, the

tassels then adhered themselves to the inside of her sports bra. So it was a big old whoopsie. So isay give her another chance if she can get it right this time. By the way, her follower account went from one hundred and twenty thousand to two hundred and fifty five thousand following the thing, you think, and that's just social media. I don't even be surprised her

subscription models didn't go up too. I mean, really, those those those weird celebrity leagues are based on the it's based on the horror show that you're promising people. Who was the who was the big fight that I? Um? I remember that? Like when these first when these weird celebrity matches first ended up on the radar, it was two women, it was Tanya Harding. I'm trying to remember who she fought. Do you remember who Tanya Harding

fought? And I just thought, this is the weirdest thing ever. This was years ago, and I'm like, yeah, you know, it was just the ultimate and d list celebrities people in news stories. Oh you know who what roster? You remember this? When Tanya Harding fought somebody like ten fifteen years ago, it was Paula Jones, remember that? And because they had like a whole litany of weird quasi celebrities fighting in that, but like

that was the big cell. It was. It was Tanya Harding, the woman who orchestrated, allegedly the assault of her skating rival Nancy Kerrigan via Jeff Galui. Wow, look at I remember in all those names fighting Clinton accuser Paula Jones, who was at a distinct disadvantage because I remember Jones had a huge nose and hard Harding was like, I'm gonna punch that, and she did. And then Tanya Harding there was a lot of cries for help then, so she did that, and then I think she filmed a wedding porno

and then that was really then Tanya Harding kind of faded away. But yeah, now it was just a weird. Yeah, remember Harding, but yeah, I don't even know who one I've seen her? Remember Harding one which actually probably didn't surprise me. She was a little country well didn't didn't they do the chick from Wilf of Wall Street did a Tanya Harding byop by opic or something. Yeah, I Tanya or whatever. I never watched it, but yeah, people said it was good. So there you go, all

right eight eight, eight, nine three four seven eight seventy four. If you could, if you got into a clause rastling or boxing match, who do you want to fight? Didn't somebody promise you you could take a you could take a bump or something? What was that whole deal? Are you? Yeah? Who did you? Who do you want to fight? Celebrity wise? Do you quasi? You know celebrity because you know these, you'd say it's for charity or whatever. So because apparently these are popular, got

anyone on the list or maybe Jeff Bellinger or something. Oh dude, that'd be good, would it though? Would it be good? Jeff comes out and he looks like JFK. Junior under the Uh, there's weird shirtless photos of him. You're like, oh, wow, I shouldn't have tangled. What's his move? He just beats you with his record collection. I'd be amazing now that now that you're getting beaten. But just if that was his

move. Um, yeah, So that's a thing that happened, and everyone's really surprised that the person who takes their clothes off for living took their clothes off. This could end in a very Darwinistic manner. Tourists are flocking to Death Valley, even though California officials are warning them, as they want to experience what could possibly be the hottest day on Earth. There is a potential to break the record for hottest day in Death Valley this week. So tourists

are streaming to Death Valley. I guess to say they were there, don't understand it. There's a reason it's called Furnace Creek. And I told you when I was driving through Death Valley going back, going back to Wyoming, and so I had to cut I was in Santa Barbars. I literally had to cut south so I could connect to the interstate there through Pasadena Boom pop over, cut over through Death Valley, and I remember I pulled off.

There was a rest stop there near where they have the giant thermometer. And as I pulled off the off the interstate and was going to cut under the highway and then go into this rest stop, they had like deviated traffic partially and you could see vehicles had driven in there and for whatever reason had driven. I don't know if they drove or they weren't supposed to, or if somebody prematurely removed the barricade, but they drove onto some asphalt and they had

sunk in the asphalt. It's like the rest stop was eating cars man, And I guess it looked like it had been freshly poured. I don't know, but I'm like, yeah, yeah, this is a horrible place, and yet people are flocking there. I did it over the weekend, expected to hit the record high. I guess it did not happen on Sunday, but may happen today. So they're just just to hanging out wanting to say they were there. Well, let maybe ray stage you could dress more of

that coming up here and just a little bit. All right, So which fast food joint is making moonbats very very upset? We will We'll get to that coming up. They are very very upset. And let's say you don't want to go to work because it's Monday. I understand that everyone understands that. Have I got an excuse for you coming up here on the case O Day Radio program keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right,

let me ask you a serious question. At some point do you just go you know what nature is trying to tell me something? Oh now let's turn into an animal. Okay, here we go. So this is in Australia, and if you don't know anything about Australia, everything there wants to murder you. And they have really big knives. Even if you have a knife in America and you think it's big, it's not a knife. They come in bigger sizes. This is this is what I know. And back to

and then everything wants to murder you, even the cuddley stuff. It won't get you fast. You know, like, oh, look at a koala bear and then you're like you find out that most of them have syphilists or something. So so rangers at in Queensland, Australia, specifically, whereas this Fraser Frasier Island, Yeah, Frasier Island, which is part of a national

park, Kugari National Park. Say, a woman who was jogging on the beach, all right, little recreation had to be airlifted to the hospital after she was initially attacked by a pack of dingos as she was running along the beach. In fact, the attack became so aggressive she had to literally flee into the ocean to get away from the dingos who didn't want to follow her. The problem was, now she's bleeding in the ocean and apparently something attacked

her in the ocean. They imply, I don't know what it was, or she just hits something at her leg or whatever, but regardless, she was injured so badly that they had to literally airlift her out of there. And people are calling for them to call the dingos in the park, which they had previously done until animal rights groups got upset. And now there is a huge amount. But at that point, isn't that Australia telling you know what? Maybe this telling you maybe this wasn't the best idea. There's a

reason we were down here minding our own business. And then you are all like Dad, you know, this make a great prison. Do you not see the movie the Piano? Like everything it took just to like get stuff on the land there, and the ruthlessness of those who did settle it thanks to Quigley. It was just a guy from Wyoming. It was a really good shot. Like there's a thousand things that are screaming in you at all times that maybe Australia ain't for you. And by you I mean people here.

You're getting tag team matched by dingos and ocean critters, good lord man rangers said. At least three dingos attack the twenty four year old, causing her to eventually run into the water in an attempt to escape them. Eventually, two men in a four wheel drive saw the incident, rushing in the ocean and actually ended up having to physically carry the woman out of there. Well, a bunch of misogynists. You can't you can't have a story where

men. Hollywood could never do this without having to redo it. She would have had to, I don't know. I would say eventually come around and find her in herself and you know, um subdue the dingos. But if you remember, really the narrative is she has to be overpowered from the start. So like that would that would sap the story, man, and you

can't have men. The men would come along in a four wheeler and be immediately consumed by the dingos because they wouldn't mind their own business because they saw this woman bleeding in the ocean. That's pretty much how that story would go. And and and then she would she would come out, find her in her strength and save the men. There. I'm a Hollywood screenwriter. I

should be on strike. What am I doing at work? Yeah? That's nature telling you something, man, and that something is you shouldn't be here. Everything wants to murder you, although they wouldn't get Arthur Walters Junior, the one hundred and four year old, interviewed over the weekend as he was celebrating his birthday, and of course asked the big question, how'd you get here? It seems like a nice enough guy, got a good sense of

humor. He told the reporter he got here by not taking medicine except his two good friends, Jim and Jack. Yeah. I don't take medication except Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, my two good friends. There you go, there's the secret to longevity. Everybody now you know you're welcome. Show after the show, it's on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Dude, it's history. It's and you know

it's historical because it's just it's it's just referred to as the dunk. Ross apparently living in a cave, didn't know about the dunk. How do you not know about the dunk? I'm sorry? The what so? Over the weekend, the um um, the w NBA All Star Game happened and Britney Griner, remember her from the trade for the Lord of War, She dunked in the All Star Game. Women don't dunk during this thing. So she dunked, and now it's a famous dunk. I'm sorry, No, no,

no, she did not that. It's inappropriate. You can't do that in front of people. Well it was nationally. I don't care if she was a hostage in Russia. You gotta respect for the game. Have you

ever been in a goulog? I've not. Okay, well you don't know what you would do, right, just gotta survive, man, No, she don't with the cook with the with the k she dunked the buy in and It was astounding because somehow they were able to get her a pass at about half speed, and both the defenders who were on her um I don't apparently their phone rang or something I'm not sure, which allowed Grinder a little running starts so that she could achieve this thing. And now it's just it's

the Dunk. So you ever see that movie? Did you Want a Man? Here? Is this going? Yeah? I'm aware, I can't remember if I've seen it. I think I have because it would have aligned with my time as a kid. But anyway, all right, go ahead. No, I just asked the question, Oh, we're just doing movies. You just switched to movies. Okay, she doesn't. It's about it's about a NBA superstar, like you know, the the universe's version of Jordan.

But he goes into the women's league and he puts like a like a wig on and he dominates and he's like the first person ever dunk and they're like it maybe a Johnny Knoxville thing or decided this kind of reminded me of that for some reason. M you know, it's like, you know, like the Drive, Right, we're John Elway against Cleveland Browns. If you walk into the profile. I don't know if it still is, but last time I visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the very first exhibit is the

Drive. It's a diorama of the marchdown field by John Elway. There's a lot of great sports moments to start with, the immaculate reception, the miracle on ice. Now we got uh, you know, the world of baseball,

the cold shot, Now we got the dunk. Just Grinder found herself at the perfect spot during a game, which doesn't mean anything where both of her opponents after this pass looked very convoluted, realized that they had nail appointments or something and had to get over to it, or you know, their mom texted or something, so they got distracted, allowing Grinder the ability to get a little run and start out and dunk. It's just happened, man.

It was just one of those crazy, weird things that just that just took place, and not at all was coordinated so that it could turn into the dunk. Ross is liking it to horribleness on the floor of the of the game there. Can you imagine being the squeegee guy for that. It's you know, the guys who sit there under the baskets and they come out whenever there's like sweat or something. You gotta be like, I don't I'm not making enough for this. But nope, that's the thing that happened.

So there you go. Authorities with the Ambition crew. Oh excuse me that, No, I'm sorry. The name of the boat is Ambition. Who owns this Ambassador Cruise Lines, which I think is a subsidy of Carnival or something. Anyway, passengers aboard one of the cruise ships, in this case Ambition, which runs cruises through the British Isles, through the Faroe Islands and up to Iceland, are apologizing to the passengers aboard the Ambition after dozens of

pilot whales were slaughtered directly next to the cruise ship. Now it wasn't a cruise line slaughtering them. It was the way of the people who harvest whales from this particular region, in this case the Faroe Islands, and it was part of a perfectly legal annual hunt by locals, in this case pilot whales.

And it just so happened that they had been driving this pod and the pod had stopped moving because likely of the massive cruise ship at least in small park, at which point the harvest began and all the people on the cruise ship just were there to watch. Can you imagine though, right you're on you're on this ship. You're going through this part of the world that most people will probably never visit because it's yeah, it's pretty out of the way.

All right, you just cruised I'm not sure exactly what the route is, but maybe you cruise the Irish Channel there and major way up and around and saw the highlands of Scotland, the Shetland Islands. Yeah, I can almost make out a pony over there. Look at that. You head northward, now the Faroe Islands. Eventually you're gonna go see Byork in Iceland or something, and then all of a sudden you spot it a bunch of whales and it's pretty Ever been on a boat with whales around, it's pretty cool,

man. I did not truly appreciate it till I was. I went on one of those whale watch boats in California because I tell you, this girl and I want to go to whale watch and I'm like, all right, I can afford that, and so we did that. But when you're out there and now pilot whales aren't as big as the humpbacks they have there in California, but pretty crazy, man. I mean, it just shows

you how how small you are. So I'm sure these people, especially aboard a cruise like that or a cruise like up in Alaska you get a lot of people are doing a lot of whale watching too. But they're all up there, probably got their little blankets, right. It's a little chilly, and all of a sudden they spot somebody sees the pilot whales, and the tourists all get excited. They got their cameras out, they're getting ready. It's all instagrammable and then lo and behold, here comes the pea quad uh

cap today have what are we gonna do? You know what it reminds me of. Did you ever see them? What was the show on TV where there was a it was a boat full of moonbats and then they were just running around harassing like Chinese. It was the Chinese or Japanese whale people. What was that show? It was on like Discovery or something. So the premise is there are China. I think they were Chinese whalers, all right, and so they're out there and they're they're you know, harvesting whales.

Yeah, regardless of how you feel about it, they're not. Now in some cases they China has been accused of some underhandedness. I'm sure you're shocked. That being said, basically, it's like a boat full of greenpeace activists and they just like try to like sail between the harpoons and the boats and the whales and stuff. Pretty crazy, But like the vast majority of the show is also the interpersonal goings on among the activists that are on. There's

whale wars, That's what it was. Ross You ever watched whale Wars? You ever see an episode of that insanity? Yeah? We saw a few episodes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I underselling it. Isn't it a bunch of moonbats on a boat that all have like weird interpersonal issues. No, it is. But it was the best part because I was watching with somebody who didn't really understand what the premise of it was. And then when the whole leg you know, whale stuff started to happen, like,

oh, the whales, it was amazing. That's the greatest thing ever. And then like they're like and they're like spraying water at the Chinese boats and whatnot, and they're like they tried to ram us even though we cut them off while they were clearly underway. Yeah, it's the whole thing. And then they're like hang banners in English and stuff, and it's like, you know, like some guy who's making four cents an hour or whatever because he's

on this whaleboat because it was that or a work camp. Gives a crap about your banner, dude. But yeah, this whole cruise ship pull of people. That's they thought they were gonna get photos and instead they got well they got some photos, all right. Race agent from the Weather Channel. He's here. Oh, I don't know if I don't want to be out in a boat anywhere. Man today not today again. I've got um hold on, a sick hold on. I got technical difficult there we go.

Um, we don't know what was you sit on your your your headphone cable or something. No, I speaker and I had to turn it off and switched it over the headplot. It's just whatever it is. But you know, i'd speaking of relief being out boats are in water. Um. You know my family member that was down in Florida and my family, my girls were all at the beach in Georgia recently. They said the water is not

even comfortable to get in to cool off the top um. Water temperatures are well above average, and you're talking ninety mid nineties and in some cases in South Florida even upper ninety degree water temperatures, so you know, mid nineties today. I don't know if pools are gonna give you much relief, but stay cool, anybody can. I'd like to inside an ac myself. Low seventies tonight, and then by tomorrow and Wednesday will start throwing some showers thutter

showers around little of mid nineties across there. You may stay in the upper eighties if you get rain. And as it gan to late week more Lottle of mid nineties said, more showers, thutter showers Thursday, but dry Friday. Maybe a fund coming in toward the weekend, so we'll keep an eye on that. That could bring at least that cleansing to this pretty uncomfortable airmas

that we will have around. Not extremely humid, but humid enough you'll feel it, and it's certainly you're gonna feel closer to one hundred degrees maybe hotter a couple of days this week. California is upset because a bunch of people flocked over the weekend to Death Valley because they wanted to be there if it breaks the record yesterday or today, And yeah, yeah, that's pretty dumb. You shouldn't do that, but you know how people are, man,

they want to be there and show the picture of their car thermometers. So I guess yeah, yeah, I don't know if they got the regula was like one twenty eight. I don't know if that's the official all time high. We've been getting close, even in places like Lancaster and California Palmdale. Over the weekend there were a forecast to set all time record highs. I don't know if that happened. I'd heard anything yet. Okay, all right, thank you sir. We'll chator. I'll have a good one. Ye

They got some opinion writer to talk about how mean non vegans are and how horrible everyone is. So this couple is they can't understand why nobody's RSV ping to their alcohol free vegan

wedding. People are so unaccepting I want to go. Let me here, let me lay it out for you, at least from my perspective, if I was to show up to that way, which I don't want to go to your wedding anyway, even if we're really good friends. That's the thing. Most people don't really want to go. However, if it's a vegan wedding and I was to show up and had to soberly make small talk with anyone excited about the vegan menu, I would fling myself from the nearest high

point, like I'm a putin cast off. Okay, the last thing I want to do is make small talk with people excited about the vegan aspect of its sober at all, even yeah, even with a few in me so yeah, and you can said, oh, they're just so unaccepting of this, they didn't want to go anyway. You having excess at your wedding is what gets him there anyway. Let's just be abundantly clear here, Okay,
