Monday-4-8-2024

All right, good morning, everybody gonna welcome. It is Monday, it is six oh seven, it is doomsday. I guess I don't know, you know, I really wish one of these doomsday days that we've encountered over the years, you know, December twenty first, twenty twelve. I guess I don't remember why two K was. It would be really nice if like, if it's gonna fall on a workday, it's like at twelve oh one, does that make sense, Like if we are going to do this thing,

just so I don't got to put prep together. Ross doesn't have to put prep together. You don't have to be up getting ready to you know, start another week if this is gonna be it. So yeah, that's

the thing I saw. I saw a forum where some two folks were talking about how they have people that are in there, you know, in their their their business realm, who were literally adding and I'm sure it was to be funny some of it, but like they were showing people's read receipts that they were attaching to emails where they're like tentatively, like you know, saying yeah, I'll tentatively be at this meeting unless the world comes to an end

where they were trying to decide whether that's professional or not. I can't speak to that because Ross and I both have when we send out of office receipts on our email. You know it's not one hundred percent serious. But anyway, so that's going to be dominating people's brains today. But unfortunately, you're gonna have to put in the work before it in case it doesn't have happened.

So I know, mm hmmm. Although I said you were doing on your Twitter, you would get a poll to determine whether you should be here. No, no, no, First off, you understand the polls I put up. It's just out of like curiosity. Oh, they're legally binding because if the world ends today, I'm not coming to work tomorrow because there's no paycheck. Well it's digital, I mean maybe maybe it'll have already been

programmed in. Yeah. No. The question I asked was if the world ends and I like, somehow I survive, am I still obligated to go into work? So you would be dead. Majority of people would be dead. I doubt the radio words people survive too. If not me, I'm why what I'm saying is I'm the only survivor, like the world character got you. Yeah, I'm not or only character. I'm not coming up.

I guess that would be all right, well not even the loot, Okay, I mean this equipment and work on most days when the world it's fine, right, relatively fine? Yeah, and let alone like you know, the apocalypse. Yeah, it's probably a good point. I had to think there are some pieces of equipment that would work that we just are with the ones that we hate. So I had like eclipse nightmares last night. Some

I'm driving in and Marky texts me, tells me the same thing. She's like, I had like weird dreams about the eclipse superd Have you guys been talking about it or no? Not at all? Huh you say weird does that mean weird bad or like weird good? Like Yeah, it's one of those things where like the more times gone by, like you know, you tend to forget your dreams. So I just like, now, like all

the details are going. I should have written it down, but I know the basic you know, topic of it was the eclipse, and it was like not fun. Well no, no, not try but I'm trying to point out it interpretive differential and that is, with the exception of your family, the idea of everybody else disappearing in the world so you can read your books, right, Like, I feel like you were the one who took

that that that famous episode of the Twilight Yeah you were. Yeah, you were a little more excited than others, right, because you're just like, ah, no other people to annoy me, you know what I'm saying. It's such a weird episode because he's like, oh, I can finally read my books, but I don't have like glasses, And I'm like, dude, there has to be glasses somewhere right, right, yeah, like when everyone out of there and like not all of them dropped and crashed on the

ground. Yes, no, I was presented with the same thing, but I think it was an allegory. So there was that, all right, So if the if the apocalypse happened today, Ross is not coming in tomorrow, So we'll just that's going in your permanent record. Sir oh Man who was in playing with the button bar, all right, all right, dude, we got we got so much insane you know what you're gonna be wishing when I get I was just like a the audio here you might be wishing

you might, you might get on Team Apocalypse. So all right, now I got it. I got it, I got it, I got it. You're good. Rosse is trying to check something out? No, no, no, no no, it was the they moved. It was the something else with the with the log in on a different window. I just realized somebody had a VPN in and didn't VPN out. So it's all good, all right, No, but I'm looking at the audio here, and yeah, I mean, who wants to live in this world? On traffic?

You know, I don't. You don't know the context? Maybe you do. I did post the video over the weekend. This is this is an end of the world party you'd want to be at from a distance. I mean, you don't want to be participating in it. And I understand that's not what their party's about. But you watch videos like this and this is do you remember people are buying Giant Asteroid twenty twenty and Giant Asteroid twenty sixteen and now Giant Asteroid twenty twenty four bumper stickers. This is the kind

of stuff people see and then they mean it. I'm telling you what, man, all right, we'll take you to a Biden Harris Pennsylvania primary rally party with a bunch of women who who've always been told how they're the quirky ones, and their husbands who have never ever, ever probably objected to anything ever in their life and don't have a spine to show for it. It's almost like it's almost like a parody this video, like tell me how long? All right? So this is what I asked. I'll ask you live

on the air, all right. So door number one, you have to be at this Pennsylvania Democrat primary Moonbat college professor looking party where a woman in a brightly colored dress with with you know, rainbow leggings. You can smell the petuli coming through. They got their little skinny beta male husband's it's it looks comedic if not for the fact that it were real. So yes,

they're like the people you imagine when we read the Moonbat email. We even though that in a while, but it's like these people like the mystic crystal revelations of the histories. This is the this is the this is right there. And by the way, I know, don't you know that when that as that woman was going through life, people would call her quirky, but

they actually probably found her annoying. It's like like if if it was an SML skit back when SNL was funny, way back way back in the day, it would be like Kristen Wig or something with President Wig is the quirky woman the one taller, little skinny husband who's is had a dance he's doing. That would be Will Ferrell, right, if we had to if and and then they have like she's holding some is that a speaker with with lights? I don't even know what the hell that is. I thought it was

like sunglasses or something. I know, I don't know what that is. It's probably it's it's probably a a like a high end VR goggles. No no, no, no, no no, uh incense machine if you know, it's probably from like the airplane one where you know you ordered on that airplane magazine back in the day. So it's like five hundred dollars. It's probably Goop. Actually it's probably a thousand dollars Goop incense dispenser. I could

see those fans spitting out incense. Yes, and then if and then you can also because it's from Goop, you know where you can store it too? Right? What? Oh? Now, you know nothing about goop and where prop most of their products actually can go. Well, I mean it's not in the shape of an egg, you know what. That's why it's the pro model, right you don't want to start out with that way here

here is it? All right? So step number one you can go to the incense speaker, thing, dancing, SNL caricature, whatever the hell this is, which by the way, you got to go see it at Casey on the radio. Or and all right, difficulty sober, yeah, repeat, you gotta be at the whole the party, and you got to stay for the whole party sober. Or door number two wood chipper rusty blades barely spinning but just enough to get the job done. Feet first, all right,

those if you want to leave into the wood chipper. If not, you got to stay with this this right here, Oh Pennsylvania run traffic. Whoa she swaying the whole time with her thing, and you have to vote or biden hair rock because that other guy, the orangeman, the orangeman like this, he is going to take away your sil she slaps her behind, by the way, he's going to take away your health care because kids right now until they're twenty six, can be on their parents' healthcare, and the

orangeman wants to stop that. Whoa, oh no, okay, everybody Pennsylvania in the House, vote for Biden, vote for parents. These guys, by the way, their husbands couldn't stop a rabbit bowl, right, Okay, yeah, Oh, we're here to stop people. Oh man, I can't even imagine. So go check that out. Tell me what you think where you're going with that? Okay, could you make it? Could you make it sober or a wood chipper? I just imagine. They have like

an absolute conniption every time Fetterman opens his mouth on an issue. Oh yes, because you know they voted for Fetterman. Oh, I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did. And then yesterday he's like, what was it squatters? Right? He was going, uh, yeah, he went up on squatters. Yep. Yeah. That dude is like way more conservative I think than doctor oz ever would have been. Well, at the very least, he's more vocal because you know, the standard run your mill Republic and

you would just kind of stay out of that stuff. I bet you. Just they just can't believe like what what he's become because they thought he was going to be like a rubber stamp for Biden and everything. Well, I don't know that he hasn't been in I mean, is there anything that he's separated his vote from that was to the level of like where Mansion was holding stuff up. I realized didn't have all the power, but he kind of does. He's come out on the squatter stuff. He's come out of the

non the Israel stuff. They're freaking out about history Israel. Yeah, yeah, and walking by the protesters his little flag was very funny. But you know, as he voted away from the by and I don't know the answer to that, just because the Senate, you know, kind of with where they are, a lot of it's based on what the House is going to do. But I don't know. But go see the video and uh, you know, make your decisions and uh you know we'll go from go from

there. Do I evern't want to know why you just added that to the button bar. It's amazing and it does have a tie into the show, to this story when I just added to the button bar, no to the show in general. Ah, got you okay, all right, all right, Well I'll take your word for it. So coming up on the show. Well that you know, you should go see that at Casey on the radio and we'll dig deep. Also, we got a canceling coming up. Oh, the CDC had a whoopsie on Friday. They told us about.

So hey, mistakes happen, So we'll get you the details there. We'll figure out why Ross has added to the button bar. We'll do it coming up on the CaCO Day radio program. That's what i'd I admit I did not watch any of it, so but I did see about five or six different storylines from it, so I feel like I was there. All right, So wrestle Mania over the weekend. Here's here's what I know. Snoop

Dog did something and people enjoyed his commentary. Okay, I actually enjoyed the little bit that I watched, thought that that was funny and the are we gonna do this thing now where streamers are now part of WWE? More so because I was reading that they logan Paul was there and then other obnoxious Twitch streamers like did I show speed or whatever. I shouldn't say he's obnoxious. I've seen a couple of things where he's kind of been irritating, but other

things where it's just not my bag. But now you've got like social media influencers running up and like being part of the storyline. No, no, no, no, no, no, what are you doing? I just missed the days when WrestleMania was one night, Like, I don't have two nights, led, I have like ten minutes to check it out before the show. That's how much time I have. You don't have two days? It was, yeah, look, everything's cash grab, man, Everything's a

cash grab. And you know the fact is people will watch it. People watch it, and the amount of people and friends of mine who we're not boxing fans, but you put on some MMA it's over and they'll sit they'll sit there and watch it for six hours. Doing me wrong. I want to see some of the future matches, but by I don't, it's a seventeen fight undercard. I'm like, what are we doing? So it was ten hours? Two days? I had no idea. I had no idea

was that long? Did we did we have a resolution anything? Do we have a champion? Did uh? Cody Roads is a champion? Now? Oh? What for storyline coming off of that? All of that stuff right there? So okay, all right, So in your ten minutes, though, do you feel like you were able to do you feel like there it was there was good, it was big. It seemed like there was one of the biggest pops I've ever heard in history WrestleMania. Okay, go ahead,

or do you want to wait till after the break? Are you teasing there? We don't have time now, so yeah, yeah, I'm just look at it right here. So all right, So Rosta, there was a moment you know how I mentioned I mentioned I did people want to trash talk. Yes, even in women's basketball whatever, and it's not you know where, you know where draw you know, you know where it goes over the line, and you also know that you better better be able to back

it up. I'm fine with all this, but every time now I see some story, especially as it surrounds this, uh, the Caitlin Clark out of Iowa. But I'm sorry if allow me to do this in the reverse because normally I like to, uh, I like to I want to know that when I when I assign a motivation to something on the part of somebody, it's because I'm one hundred percent there. Because I think it's unfair when we do that we just this person disagrees with me, and I'm going to

assume why. However, I am having a really hard time listening to analysts other players, including uh former former former record holders coming out, and uh, they're being what clear feels like a racial issue underneath this. I don't know how to arrive at another, at any other conclusion. I think that people who are considering themselves the gatekeepers of basketball have a real problem with white

basketball players. I'll lay it out there, and I think that if you ever want to get into a situation where they, oh, well show me what you mean, I have I have so many clips. I don't know how you derive at that conclusion otherwise. And it's not just Caitlin Clark. You saw it with a couple of the big joe Yosic and the other guy

I'm thinking, Donsik. Yeah, yeah, like you see like you see it in there, You see the analysis, you see the reaction of some of the analysts, and you see what clearly in this play, in the

case with Caitlyn Clark, there seems to be racial undertones there. So if you know, as many times I had to listen to oh, well, that's just a dog whistle, tell me how this isn't I'm all, I'm all for protecting the legacy of those who have come before, right, And you know where you get analysts who are gonna be damned if you're going to undermine Jordan's the greatest of all time or whatever that that's but that's not the that's not the discussion here. This is one of pure numbers. So you

know you got all of this going on. Iowa lost. They lost to South Carolina. South Carolina had an amazing season. That's fine. Their coaches. Their coach is also like cool with having to face you know, men playing basketball. It's made that clear, but that'd be fine. But like LSU, the angel Rees chick who still butt hed over it was besties with the South Carolina girl that defended Caitlin Clark. Clark, by the way, I had a triple double. I believe she had eighteen points in the first

quarter. Yeah yeah, so like she did defend her, and by the way, she looked like she defended her a lot better than other people have and and Clark, and so what happens It gets over and all of a sudden, the chick is defending her has the LSU check on FaceTime so they can make fun of her. Lynette Woodard, who held the record that Caitlin Clark broke with her with a triple double back in February, who initially had

either been quiet or just kind of you know, calmly acknowledged this. Now she says she doesn't believe Clark's record should count because the three point shot exists, which is but which by the way, that's not an that's not any a discussion. That is a new discussion, right, and and it's that's why there's eras in some instance. You have the modern era of football, you have the you know baseball. They really don't look until I should say

they don't look. But you know, there there are people who feel that the different eras of the of baseball require a different recognition of who might have set the record for a variety of reasons. You got basically way pictures are utilized. You have d H obviously, and and you know, all of these are fine debates that have gone in football, basketball, baseball, hockey even it's you know, going back to the what two thousands, when hockey

is like we got to do something to get more scoring. That's that's a definable different era with the way the blue line was treated. So but I don't know. I just I get they don't like her because she's white. Vibes on this and maybe I'm wrong, but you know, I have to listen to one hundred stories a week run sitting here saying, all right, explain, explain why you think that. You can't just claim that there's that.

And I feel like if we wanted to sit there and just stack examples of this, I think most people, if they were open, would would seriously consider the notion. That's just so strange. I mean, in the end, you know, basketball is a team sport. In South Carolina had the better team, right, A lot of times you can have a generational player, right that just can't get the team all by themselves over that hump, right, You've seen it before, unbiased opinion. I'd point out Josh

Allen and the Buffalo Bills. That's sort of the same sort of generation, ready breaking breaking records, you know, the NFL superstar, but the rest of the team, well, an MVP then probably for the same reason Caitlin Clark is getting the hate. Hmmm, it's weird. So uh, And I I kind of drug ross there, but a lot of people make that argument and I find that argument less compelling than this one. Just that in just my two cents. But anyway, we did the thing. Now onto

the men's side here it it was amazing watching this run. I just I want to be clear here and too, and to be able to count among my friends so many old time Raleigh natives. Guys I've gotten to, you know, who are the old school State fans, right old school, and they, you know, they firmly remember eighty three and everything that it had.

And it's in for every moment that I've known these guys and and been lucky to enough, you know, in this position to to participate in some pretty cool things, the the Lauren legacy of the you know, the Valvano era and the national championship. Just to be getting like repetitive vibes from that watching you know, with everything that was going on that was really cool and that you know that didn't obviously end in a champion and ship the Pack loss

to Purdue. It they really look they just didn't look like they had and you can chalk that up, I think to Purdue being a very very good team having another good big man to really let him and DJ go at it. And of course just the inevitability of you know, playing outside of outside of your average How how long can he keep the iron hot on that? And it's really hard to do that. So, I mean, there's nothing

negative to say. I do have a question. No, I saw people bitching on Saturday on Twitter on Saturday about Roy Williams being in the crowd, quote rooting against NC State And what is that? What are you talking about? What did a big creepier if Roy Williams was sitting in the crowd rooting for NC State, look for for you care line at Homers. Do you would you have a problem with Roy Williams rooting four NC State in that situation?

Is he gotta he's got to be loyal to the brand until he's dead and probably after that was a weird thing, that stuff people, Can you believe how classless he's there? How many of you die hard State fans or we'll just use it for this, how many of you die hard State fans would sit there and actively root against a UNC championship as long as as long as it wasn't against somebody who you hated more? I guess you know what I'm saying. That would be the quick caveat, And I feel like that's

the thing that works in all sports. That's a Packer fan buddies. He'll try to get me like, here's a situation where you should root for the it's not going to happen. It's not it's not going to happen. You're not ross. Are you ever going to? Would you ever root for the Patriots? No? No, I get well, hold on, there's not a scenario that could come up where it'd be like, ah, you know,

come on, man, get over you. If it maybe if there's like a devil went down to Georgia sort of thing and it's like the Patriots versus Team Devil or something. You know. All right, so you need that, you need the full armies of Hell versus Patriots, is what you're saying. And the same for Miami. Okay, what if in both instances the army from Hell's like, don't worry, we'll leave you alone. So now it's none of your business. Would that quell your quell it? Or?

I mean I feel like I have a moral obligation to stand against the devil and say in an evil so right, that would probably be the only scenario I can envision where I would have to take the side of the patriots of the Dolphins. Okay, all right, so yeah, so Roy Williams sitting there, You don't go and boost eate, like, how are people supprized by this stuff? But speaking of surprise, people were surprised. Uh if it was we round up our little sports collective here by the way eight

eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So uh you said this was the biggest pop uh so to speak, but uh in wrestling, and that was the surprise that awaited. This was at the very very end. Like I said, there's two nights now, so even I'm confused by it all, and I have ten minutes to take it all in before the show. I'm like, oh, that was WrestleMania. Let me check it out and checked it out. My oh my god. So Cody Rhodes is a

champion. Uh he won? There was If you're not following along, there's a lot of drama involving Roman reigns, and The Rock's been back and The Rock has been putting out these amazing promos. Everyone's endorsed Biden too, so I saw he's persona and uncreat right, and he's like a big heel now and he's like, you know, he's taunting Cody Rhoad's mom from the ring, and John Cena made an appearance. All these all this stuff happened, and and then towards the end, I guess from what I'm taking in it

was the second art of the first. It's the biggest pop I've ever heard in the history of WrestleMania. Yes, let's let's alright, let's play the audio and listen, and if it don't worry, we'll tell you. If you can't figure out what's going on, Oh my god, South Rolls, isn't the Ringlets just stop? Seth but taking out the rocks, set Rolls stepped out of the old seal. Heremeter what we went through last time? The time Dragon himself come talking all the outs once again. Oh yeah,

you know that sound right? And then the ring goes dark. Well, of course it's gone. The lights come back on and guess he's behind him? All right, all right, So if I guess you couldn't figure out what was gone? What now do they have his his seventy how old is undertaker? Now I'm not picking on the dude. But like we were just talking a few years ago about how we was lucky he didn't get murdered in Saudi Arabia. That pop from the audio completely destroyed my headphones. It's amazing.

I had to rep my headphone for that. I don't replug a man. I'm like, oh geez. Like, so the Undertaker, all of a sudden is you know, it goes dark, pitch black, the music is going, the crowd is going crazy. It comes back on and there's the Understaker. Undertaker standing behind the rock. Rock turns around, is like, oh, oh my god, choke slams and what a I heard that Steve Austin was going to be there. I heard that John Cena was going

to be there. I hadn't heard anything about the Undertaker being there, so what so this dude just they got him what parked under the under the ring or something, I guess I yes, the entire time. Well are they moved him in? Oh my god? That gives me an idea. I just oh, we have folks, we have an opportunity today and it will be an opportunity as as the founding fathers intended that will be inspired from UH Wrestling wrestling works. So what do you think of that? Huh, yes,

that's right. This wrestling may save America. I'll explain coming up next here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Welcome back CaCO Day Radio Program. Uh so we just sent this email John Cena, Cody Rhodes, The Rock and the Undertaker. This sounds more like Hollywood trying to bring back old movies that work because new ideas suck. Is there a senior citizens section at WWE?

I don't know, man like, especially in the world of sports, although the difference is in other sports they bring him back for like ring night or somebody's numbers getting retired. This way, they bring them to throw them through tables. Yeah, like you know, like they're not They don't have a Bill's Ring of Honor ceremony where Thurman Thomas is in the game that night. So I mean, I would agree. I mean, and the older product, in my opinion, but I'm old is better than the newer product.

Great, welcome to generation exactly based on everything. Yes, yeah though, but yeah, yeah, and they do treat them a little different, right not Yeah, we just do a lot of stuff with Bird bly Levin with the Twins broadcast but at no point where they're going to put Levin back in. So it is a little different. But I guess all right, so letogram, Uh you have a call or two? Uh, Anthony, you're up first, go right ahead. Yeah, I was just gonna say.

I got two guys in my church there in their seventies and eighties, and one of the state along Olands, the Carolina alum, and the Carolina alum says that, uh Gerald, the state alarm back in the eighties, if Carolina would have been playing the Russians, Gerald would have pulled from the Russians. I mean the rivalries or rivalry. So what's the problem with Roy

Williams doing what Roy Williams does? You know? I do? Have you since you're talking about the Devil and stuff, the Devil army or whatever a popular opinion. I know, but in the Devil went down to Georgia, I liked the Devil abandoned Demon's a lot better than Johnny's. Oh well, you know what music is tasting. It takes for the call their sirs fickles. So and when you're explaining that to the pearly Gates, let me know how it goes. Yes, Donna what's up? Good morning, casey h.

I have I have a bone to pick the juice, sir? What did I do? Nothing? I didn't do anything. So yeah, you're suggesting I wear a cat for waistcoast. Oh what are you talking about? A cat for waistcoat? What do you I don't understand what you rambling on about. You sent me a tweet or whatever they're calling them now, a post about cat fur coats being made in China. I'm sorry? Was this the I'm sorry? Was this the the? This was the weird what are

you wearing during the apocalypse tweet thread? Yes? Yes, and you said you were wearing it looks like a princess ball gown from a Disney movie, right right? I and I simply suggested that it's still chilly enough. I mean, look at the temperature right now that if you're going to wear something open shoulder, you should have a coat. So how did we get well? Cat cold? Was that made of cat? For? I just thought it was a fur code? I didn't know. No, it's cats.

I don't codes. I don't I'm sorry. It is either doomsday or Monday, or or both. I guess I've always had the I've always had the suspicion that the world would end on a Monday, because this that's just how they do, you, right, It's like who was it was? It was it? It was Kataku right where they made everyone come in and a few Mondays ago they actually physically come into work only to tell them, Hey, uh, I know you're all here and none of you can log into

your computer and you can't figure out why, and you're fired. So like, for whatever I think of Kataka or maybe that was dead Spin anyway, that was dead Spin. For whatever I may think of all of that, that still sucks, man, fire me on a Friday kind of thing, you know. So, yeah, I could see the world ending on a

Monday, because that's just how it would be. However, if it doesn't and we just have the you know, all the insanity expected to ensue with the eclipse or nothing at all for that matter, I feel like there's an opportunity here. So I was just I and I want to tell you I was inspired by the apocat I'm gonna say this wrong. What are we calling

it? The eclip ellipse is how I screwed it up, which is the apocalypse and the eclipse and because that was too dumb to realize that apocalypse is really already a combination of the word, we went in the other direction. So copyright eclip Ellipse. That's ours. So you know there's a possibility here.

I know that we've been talking a lot about the path right and some of the stuff you're seeing in like upstate New York and and further down through Pennsylvania and others where you got like if you see a listing of Airbnbs sold out, it's the entire line. They have traffic concerns, but the Eclipse line moves and starts moving a lot sooner than before it gets there. And

initially we'll transcend through Mexico. And specifically, if you were to take a line from Austin to San Antonio, which we leave Austin and had a short distance south and west, you go through San Antonio that is right on the

edge of it. Dallas is right in this line, and then eventually it goes over the Mexican border there, and it just so happens that the part of the Mexican border that it's going to travel over is also a part of the Mexican border that has a few towns that are commonly in discussion, specifically because of like Pedras Negras and the area through Chihuahua north of Laredo. There you get into uh see you dat a Kuna where and del Rio where you

have a lot of people staged following coming over. They have a big lake there so they can't and and the lake literally is on both sides of the

border, so that is a porous point of entry. And so here's the thing, all right, And I'm gonna be inspired by what we saw at the WWE event where the lights go out and all of a sudden they're standing directly behind the rock is in fact the Undertaker, and it made for a hellacious everyone lost their minds Rossi's headphones headphones blew out almost So so here's what we do, all right, path of totality goes over, goes pitch black

for a moment. Everybody's just stop seeing what's going on. And then during the out right, you're gonna have to act quick. You're ready so that when the sun comes back out, all of a sudden, standing behind the tens of thousands getting ready to be distributed across cities in America, largely unchallenged during the initial vetting for asylum process. All of a sudden, the walls behind them. All right. Now, again, this is going to require

a heavy, heavy It's going to require a lot of work. You've got a very short period of time to do it. But imagine the shock on everybody's face as all of a sudden light returns. Your pupils are dilating and trying to figure out, you know, how to adjust. You know that moment, that first moment where you turn on the light after you've been to sleep or just in a dark room, and then boom, there's the wall on the other side. And then everyone's just got to act like nothing happened.

I feel like that would that's going to take a big bite out of at least this month's numbers. Just something to think about. And you can even use, by the way, just as it is getting light out, just for the hell of it, throw that in just to add to the confusion of what the hell happened? Man? All right, So there you go. That's my that's my plan. Thank you, Thank you to the WWE for the inspiration. Okay, all right, very good, very good. All right, let me have a call in a Kaitlyn Clark insanity too.

By the way, I just saw the worst take on this. You're ready. So this guy's argument over whether Caitlyn Clark or the woman who's complaining because she had the record who pointed out, look, we didn't have a three point line. The argument is, yes, you didn't. However, there is you know, people could argue that the women's college basketball of the seventies and eighties. I guess I should I shouldn't say that. When did

she When did she quit? I guess it was in the nineties. Lynnette Woodard, who by the way, is a hell of a player, but you just seems really petty, at least at this moment. This is stuff for like a book to her later six months from now. But the argument was for the same reason that she she's wrong and that the competition is so much different, and I don't that's almost inarguable. You're talking about an era

pre w NBA era into where it is now women's college basketball. I think anyone who coaches within it will tell you that you have because you have so many more women who want to participate, and that's a good thing. But then the guy writes it's for the same reason that if you agree, then you need to also understand why it's disingenuous to say that Michael Jordan's the greatest. He played and he played against janitors. What Carl Carl Malowe right?

That was Wasn't he the janitor? Am? I I don't think it was a janitor now that he took the co Wasn't it was the janitor? A truck driver, I believe, the truck drive eighteen wheelers. Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean he played against Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Isaiah Thompson, the Detroit Pistons. It was a much more physical game back then. Uh he played I mean, listen, he played against the rest of the dream Team. Yeah, so you're saying the dream Team besides Michael Jordan's

garbage, he played with janitors. Man, this guy's all Lebron. He's got Lebron love too. I went through his timeline here. So the game was so much more physical back then. Like if you took the players of today and put him back then, they wouldn't survive because they're used to flopping and there used to you know, you you you breeze past somebody and it's a technical foul. Now. Yeah, back then, you remember when Jordan would take on the Pistons, before he got past them, they would it

just like it was a football in the court. It was some beef there that was there was some beef. Who who's the who is the one? He was a white guy played for the Pistons who had just he would have a Bill Lamber. Yeah, lamberd have a technical every game now just so that's it. And again, you could argue that the NBA was different back then, but you can't argue that it was a in a pre current state stage, do you know what I'm saying? Like there was a lot of

really really good people, just as there's really good people now. And you can have that debate, but you can't say that the NBA of Jordan's era was just getting its wings, do you know what I'm saying, and really

hadn't attracted interest. It wasn't like, and this is unfair to even say, but it isn't like Jordan was playing with like a bunch of Bob Coozies, even though Bob Coozy is a legend, right right, But it isn't like the nineteen fifties man, right, Yes, So that is that's a horrible comparison, but whatever, all right, Jamal, thanks for hanging on. What's going on? Hey, Ksey? And that was the mail man kar him alone was the mailman obviously, Okay, I just want to be

clear. Obviously we know that, but we're having more fun doing it. I think they called him the plumber. Didn't they get a plumber driver? I think, hey, hey, hey, now we love plumbers. Now we love plumbers and each back people. But can't see that whole Caitlin, that whole Taitling Clark team. And I watched it how it whole transpired. The whole time you had that girl Ainger Rease looking like a hair hat monster with all that weave and stuff on our head out here talking jump. She

wanted to play the role of the bad guy. And this is what a lot of people have to understand. A lot of you know, a lot of people like oh there against angeries know they against anger reaes because she wanted to play villain. She can't sit him, want to be Lex Sloop, Lex Slooper, she can't sit him, want to be the Joker, she can't send him, want to be Megatron. And then when she get out there and she meet Optimus Prime, Superman and Batman and loses. Then she

want to cry racism. The same thing happened with the girl from Duke Remember the girls back volleyball team when she went to Brookham Young and she said, somebody call her the N word. Thirty thousand people. Nobody heard it, but they sit here, they play victim. Then with oh no, they

played the bad guy. Then when they cried buser. Then they want all black women to unite with hair Hat Hooligan, unite with all this we even stuff, and then they want to oh, oh, you know we did this for her, or she really this girl, you know, this white girl really don't deserve it. You know all this, but it gets to the point where people got to stop back and say, in the year twenty twenty four, hey, listen, racism is wrong, no matter who does.

I don't care if you a black woman and you went through and you was marching on Jim Crow segregation, old blood, it's under don't matter if he was doing it, it's racism. It was racism. And speaking of basketball, you remember that controversial when Isaiah made that comment about Larry Bird and everybody jumped down. Isaiah Thomas stoke about him saying, Okay, that's how people used to address racism. Racism wasn't except that people didn't like, get

more white people. What a beneficiaries of racism? They should have the same. It's like now blackfel because the is the beneficiaries of racism. Because yeah, let me just and then let me just add this just as a little bit of a summary. I don't the reason this is extra stupid is the w NBA or women's basketball in general. This is everything that's happened here.

I know it's the individual personality things, but just the amount of pub that's been out there, like, this is all the stuff that I've heard in every interview they say that they want right because this is good for it more

people. You know, the the we didn't have the numbers directly, but that lsu Iowa game, I think they did like twelve and a half million on cable for a women's basketball game, like and so then to have a brigade of the Who's who, the Sheryl Swoops, the Lynette woodard U Tarassi, all of the as well, is half the ESPN people to decide that they're going to declare war on arguably the the biggest young star that they've had maybe in the history of women's modern women's basketball, just from you know,

from a notoriety standpoint, why you say you want this and then the opportunity is there for you and uh, it's it's it seems to be the last thing you want. You know, you're giving a gift. Run with it. So I'll give you about a minute. Then I got a roll, but it was somebody. His name is Emmanuel Ascot. He defended Catlin Kaw and he called out Angel Reese on the so called US racism death threats and AI generated pictures. So there was some one one dude he called out,

and they went after him. Oh you don't love black women, your mama black, your sister black. You know, they went after him because he's sitting there and said, no, the girl, Clayton Clark is of that. And at the end of the day, basketball, if I remember correct,

was made by a man named York. He was white. So for people to be like, oh, let's you a white girl playing a black girl sport, where you black playing a white sport that a white person came up and created, So they need to just go and call the racism out for what it is and stop it. Thought that was that was an a Nate Smith who with the peach smell. Anyway, I may been wrong,

but my point is who cares? Like if anything that's during twelve and a half million people to a women's college basketball game, just just take the w that's understand. Yes, they do KC because you know what, well, yeah, okay, k I got I got a roll man, but yeah, I had you're preaching to the choir there, Uh you're given a gift man. Yeah, total? All right. I don't sir, I don't honestly think they could build a wall in whatever the number of minutes, was

it like three minutes? Well I'm looking at my chart here, two minutes in the Texas area. Yeah, totality begins one point no four. It'll be about four minutes. About two of it will be pure, pure, and then the rest will be within ninety percent. Yeah, you probably can't get a whole wall built. But it's also a joke, sir, So it would be funny if you moved a few trucks back behind, made a

little confusion. All right, there we go, All right, wonderful coming up on the show, that's we've got a lot of ground to cover. Boy. Joe biden Man just once again over the weekend, speaking in Baltimore. Part of the speech, he says directed to the family members of the victims, the six, only two of which I believe that they've even found. And you just know Biden was going to do a Biden's way and the

Jeopardy freak out. I'm dying holy cow with sticks and people's craw man and a strange, albeit a horrific story of a how do these not only how do these two people exist, which I constantly question, but how do they find each other? This husband wife team, which by the way, I saw some people who were late. They were upset because the wife got charged because they they the way that the evidence was found, which is, hey, if that's the hill you want to die on, that's fine. We'll

have the story and let the audience figure it out. Consequences seemingly for the actions of some with the Vanderbilt students sit in with the weird nine to one one tampon call, but I thankfully it's what I said should happen, because everyone was ignoring that part of the video. And yes, we will even get into earthquakes and climate change. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

apparently that's the thing twice. I'll explain coming up next. Hang on, I'm sure on Friday, the thought probably crossed your mind when you started seeing the kind of the random tweets from people, Was that an earthquake? What just happened generally people in the New York, Connecticut, New Jersey area. Well, there were some other takes, and I'm sure that the thought

crossed your mind. Man, this climate crisis is real, right because an earthquake, because that's the thing, or is that simply a thing that generated previously fake news. I remember some fact checks back in the day where it was it was incredibly clear that, you know, public officials, high profile pundits and others were intimating things like that, and then some would go viral, right, a stupid tweet and I'll read you some just you know what

they sound like. And then people would be like, leave this guy trying to say that the climate global warming change is to blame for earthquakes, and then the fact check from snows be like, that's not what they said. They were talking about climate crisis and disasters that it causes, and comparing it, and it's like, no, that's that's not what they said. And so once again we have to go through this. Ringer. Let's see where do I want to start. Let's start with this. This is an actual

headline from what this is the NBC station in New York. Okay, NBC New York. Can climate change make rare Northeast to earthquakes more common? Experts? Way in the hell are you talking about? So four point eight earthquake late morning Friday, New Jersey, parts of New York. Although there was reports in Connecticut, and I want to say even up even further up in the Massachusetts. But a four point eight eighth the biggest thing, it's not

as big as it used to be. They kind of readjusted the numbers here, not that long ago. But a four point at four point eight's you're gonna feel that. What was it a year and a half ago? It was a year and a half. About a year and a half ago. I was in one on vacation. That was four point I think it was four point six four point seven, and look, you knew what was up.

And my bigger concern I told this story. My bigger concern is I was I was at a beach, and so when you feel an earthquake, the thing that you worry about obviously is tsunamis right now, they didn't seem very concerned. It was so close to land. I think they said it was eighteen kilometers, so you know, do the mile conversion on that.

Not much, but still it was very interesting watching people who felt the earthquake, who were in buildings, you know, come out of their buildings, which is understandable, but do so then on the beach, whereas I'm like, I'm gonna go not be on the beach anymore. And I'm like, I don't know if they ever told anyone about Tsunamis. So like, I understand those concerns, but never has climate change been a part of it yet. NBC New York's ready to explore it. New Jersey and New York dwellers

were abruptly shaken Friday morning by escalating rumbling vibrations. It was the second time this year an earthquake has struck the region. An earthquake usually foreign experience to New Yorkers, although you know it shouldn't be the when you think of the largest earthquakes in US history, the largest I believe were centered in both on the east coast, although maybe the Missouri one was the second one, but like I think South Carolina was the epicenter for one of them, and then

further north. Now these are these are way back in history. But it's it's not like we're immune. In fact, the the fault line in the name escapes me. That's right on the North Carolina border Tennessee, Kentucky, like right up in there, north South. That's a doozy. So they go through this whole article and talk about how earthquakes, you know, what, what is it, the seismic ways, fault lines, you know,

all the stuff that you probably should be armed with. However, it's all under the premise of let's talk to the experts and see if there is some climate global warming change to to blame, and they kind of just skirt around that, even though they bring experts in who are like, no, dummy, it's that's that's not how this works. They leave open the possibility, which is medical malpractice or at least scientific malpractice in my opinion, because you

have you have nothing that supports that or supports this rather lengthy article. Let's see here, who's the yeah, doctor Jeffrey Park, who is Yale University's professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences. So this person should undoubtedly be able to come in and be like, no, no, this isn't about carbon emissions any of that, and he really doesn't. But that didn't stop then, uh, public officials in this case a Senate candidate in New Jersey from then

tweeting the following. Her name is Christina Khalil, and Khalil tweeted shortly after the incident quote, I just experienced my first earthquake in New Jersey. We never get earthquakes. The climate crisis is real, the weirdest experience ever. And I saw this and I thought that has that can't be a real person. But it is. It is a real person. Yes, a real

person who is running to serve in the Senate in New Jersey. Moments after the incident, went on to talk about how the climate this is climate crisis. So look, if you vote for that individual, you get everything you're entitled to. Although I did see some people who kind of mind her previous tweets and this almost is one of the saner things she sent out. Anyway, in case you were wondering there might have been a connection there or might

not. NBC News New York was unable to get that question answered, so I guess we'll just wait. Oh man, this story now, you hate to see this right here? This is oh you hate to see that. This is very sad. A Florida man was arrested after a skirmish with four other guests at Walt Disney World's resort in Florida. Let's see here, Brent George. Oh man, you're one letter away from baseball immortality, sir. That's probably what drove him to drinking. See, that's an important concept here.

According to police, George was arrested and charged with four counts of battery following an incident that unfolded near the Disney's Boardwalk in I'm not super familiar at the Bellevue lounge. They say the sixty one year old was obliterated. According to reports, bartender say he consumed at least three shots of bourbon and a beer just in their bar, but obviously had been inbibing elsewhere. But apparently the alcohol coupled with you know, the whole thing seems stress inducing to me,

based on pricing and crowds. I think it's a personality thing. But I don't know if I do well because I get frustrated in those situations and I just don't want to deal with it. And so then to pour a bunch of bourbon on top of it, I don't know that'd be a good idea for me, but I wouldn't do what this dude's accused of doing. He then channeled that aggression to a nearby table of four and started to make

fun of one of the women who has Down syndrome. The woman's mother confronted George, asked him if he was making fun of her daughter's and George allegedly stubbed, stood up, shoved the mom twice, slapped one of the other guests at the table when she tried to intervene, and continued to rant against the woman with Down syndrome, at which point, you know, we always

ask where are the men? Well? At that point, the husband of the woman who got slapped jumped up and beat this dude, and then another bar bystander kicked in, and police eventually got like, who on what? Yes, I'm sorry in this case, you know, a little little Western justice seems fine. That doesn't look like they beat him enough. Just zeph Waye. Also, how do you what is that? What blest that cost to get that drunk at a Disney restaurant. I'm sorry, I don't I

don't have the working Disney knowledge. I'm actually surprised that they served booze in the park, although I also understand why they tend to do it. I believe it's that like Epcot where you can go across the Yeah. I always say, like, I'm not going to leave the country because they have all the dues there in Epcot. So like, yeah, say you like visit Scotland, which is a tiny kiosk next to England, which I find to

be hilarious. They'll have, you know, like Scottish beers, or if you go to the UK, you'll have UK beers, or you if you go to Germany you'll have you know, blonde German girls serving German beers like that. So but that because I can't imagine how much it would cost. Yeah, yeah, so this at the one bar, he just he had three bourbons and a beer and I'm assuming, you know, the bourbons would

get me even if it's not great bourbon. Dad had to be twenty five bucks a shot, and we went right, Yeah, we went to Disney before I got sober, before I stopped drinking, and even then, like I did not want to drink then because you're walking around in the heat. Its gross and it just didn't appeal to me at the time. So and this guy didn't just get what you see he was. He was make fun

of the down syndrome woman at the table next door drunk. Right, I don't say I don't have never been that drunk, and I've I've done some awful things while I was drinking, and I've never yeah, never that never crossed your kill in the face of a kid with down syndrome and make fun of him. No, at Disney, I don't know. Somehow so much more, How awful of a person are you. I think he's a dude who's just coming to terms with he spent two hundred dollars to get a buzz

and I'm not justifying it. But hold stay home, dude, buy a bottle and stay home. And kudos to the the actual men around there. Oh, look at the time, all right, seven forty seven, we got ray stage it back back at it. Look at that morning he dipped out on his fun Friday, probably to get rid of called the basketball. So no, no, it was a it was a late weekend. It was a late weekend with the family, so it was all right, question question, Yeah, are any of your anchors going to be weeping during the

eclipse? This year? She might be, but she was removed. She was, she was, and this year she might be because of the clouds along the path of totality. Quite a bit of overcast skys. Now we catch it, we'd be lucky to catch a break Texas maybe, but there's a lot of clouds that actually storms on the forecast there. As this thing rolls north northeast and through the Ohio Valley, you know it's better chances. But as you get into New York State and Pennsylvania, Western Pa and all

that, a lot more clouds than clear sky. Then it get the northern wing, it looks a little bit better. So for anybody in Texas, it's gonna be tough, but it gets a little bit more in the way of clear skies. Go east and north and northwest of the path of totality. Here we get about let's say eighty percent. As the crow flies close enough and this afternoon, a few clouds I think we'll have a good opportunity to see most of our partial eclipse as you go west, a little more

cloud into the mountains. So yeah, we should be okay for that here. Okay, all right, thank you appreciate it. Oh Weather, do you want the rest of the week or and I will take that next time? Now, I we'll do that next time. Okay, it sounds good. Yeah, yeah, all right, very good. There you go, raced agic from the Weather Channel. All Right, coming up, we got

the Vanderbilt thing. I gotta fill you in on that jeopardy and we'll try we'll answer the question, was Ross and Sacramento over the weekend on a crime spree. We'll let you be the judge. Coming up here on the kc O Day Radio program pc O Day Radio program. Here on your Monday Doomsday apocalypse a clip ellipse insanity. So that'll be a thing all day. But it does make Twitter slightly more interesting. Oh and there's a TikTok trend where

you're doing your doomsday dance. So and from the video the few that I saw just kind of scrolling through on one of the articles, I'm kind of praying for naboo U. Well, it's just gonna get worse. Look at this New York City. You assigned a controversial deal with TikTok to bring TikTok

to every street corner. Didn't that sound fun? Right? We've all, I think by now, been somewhere where somebody's filming a TikTok the middle of the Costco downtown the what was there was a trend in Raleigh or they were filming them. I'm trying to remember where it was. It was. It was over somewhere over by NC State. I don't again, I don't follow these things close enough. But New York along with Link NYC, and basically

it works like this. So it's going to have public displays and it'll be and it's integrated into billboards, bars, the bus stops that have the screens there in addition to just pumping ads your way and content. The screens on the city's cell phone polls and Wi Fi chios allows for what's called out of phone service. So basically TikTok users can then interact with all these different kiosks

and they'll be able to integrate specific challenges. Right, So this bus stop has this dance challenge, and then so idiots can gather and try to score. You know what, it'll feel like. It'll feel like a much more annoying version of the Pokemon Go people and your phone and the TikTok will then just integrate it into these service then you can get your video up there and people can vote on it. So yeah, yeah, I don't know why,

but this just sounds one hundred times worse. And I didn't even bother attempting to understand all of it. But you've been warned, and that's something that they want to do up up in New York. So our number three eight oh seven here on the Cacoday radio program is we await the impending doom or minor traffic snarl runs the gamut that today's eclipse may may convey. I

was just seeing this, So these are this Challenger Gray and Christmas. So these are the people do the NCAA st Anyway business consulting firm out of Chicago. I think it's Challenger Gray and Christmas. I don't know why it's cut off in this little shorty here say that employers are reading themselves, especially along areas near the totality of the eclipse, to see fifteen to twenty percent reduction in fource, So basically people calling out taking vacation time all the different ways.

So yeah, I believe it. I saw what happen when one snowflake is threatened to a week's worth of school days, Like the second year I lived in North Carolina, I was blown away coming from Minnesota. All right, wait, so you're canceling. It hasn't snowed, and you're canceling the school crazy? So yeah, do I think people are going to take time off? Probably, especially if you convinced yourself that this is the end of you. What the hell do you need to work today for? Right?

All right? Boston, Paul? Uh, what's up, dude? I'm doing in the booker, just supported to check my communications, can you hear me? Okay? Uh? Yeah, that's that's great. Are you well regulated as as we would know the term from the seventeen hundreds? Well regulated? Yeah? Yeah, I'm good. I got everything I need down here. You know, Hey, I remember I have that audio? Yeah,

I had that audio right here? Do you remember you said it to Ray just a few minutes ago on the on the last weather check about I can't the name this is? Uhha? All right, all right, turn that turn that, turn that down, sir. So, uh, that's the reference I made to ray Is during the last eclipse, one of their anchors, she started crying. So yeah, very emotional. I don't know what somebody wants to cry it in eclipse and not because their corneas just got burnt

to I don't care whatever. And Trump and by the way, Trump looking up at the you know, just glancing up will always be one of my favorite eclipse moments. So that was a good one. I forgot about that. We did a whole we did a whole parody. Saw you reminded me. Yeah, he did that. That was that was something else. But hey, stay safe, don't look all right, well, stay in your bunk or now did you did you get Is there water in there? Or

is it just all beer? It's basically your beer in the wall. There's a couple of there's a couple of bottles of water, swim gyms, beef chick eat potato chips, uh, some cheese. It's a couple of boxes. Yeah, I'm good, We're good. What are the what is the family going to eat then? Because that sounds like Austin Paul stuff they find for themselves, you know, it's it's a crisis. Well, you got the three dogs in there, right, yep, all right, you dog

that you got some long term protein planning. All right, I'll let you back to it. I have glasses for them too. During the during the you have doggles. Is your drone ass man who has doggles? And you called in you dog? And then we got a little you got rein to your ears for him or Christmas too. No, they got boots, rain cone boots just in case. All right, well, I want you to do me a favorite. I'll let you get back to it, and then later before you know, the end times when we post the podcast, I

want you to listen to yourself and reflect. Okay, all right, great day, Yeah you too, all right. I think it was the New York Post that had an article that was like, how to explain the the eclipse to your dogs or your pets? Stop stops. I was like, dude, I don't think my dog knows the sky exists. You know what I mean? Do you think Ella? Are you gonna sit down Elliott when you get home and hey buddy, this is this is a cat that eats plastic. All right, hey buddy, he'll be find his box. There's

something a little later, a little later. She like his box. He's a big fan of his. The Amazon boxes. Oh yeah, the greatest thing in the world. Man. Oh, but if you put him in a carrier to take him somewhere, which is essentially another complete chaos and panic, It's like if you wrote Amazon on the side of the carrier. Have you tried that? All right, now, I gotta find this song, man Oh, hold on, I think you should be able to do it pretty quick. I forgot that we I forgot that we had a parody song

just for the eclipse, and I almost didn't use it. Hold on, let me just search the bits I know it's in. Here is to be that's right, you're waiting on my ineptitude. Just deal with it, all right, well, let me let me do this because it's one of those things, right, Just don't remember what I labeled the damn thing. Here we go. Absolutely found it. Yay for me, and uh yeah, here we go. This is a safety reminder for today. Okay, all right, all right, I want to make sure it was the right song

so we can do this thing. Let's do this. There's one of those songs that has such a great line in it. It prayed to be this parody and then it just worked. Looked up block a noosh with nothing ju projects the light, looked up with nothing protect kind by the lights looked up like a douche. Manfield On and Don a rebel Connor Hill the summer with a tripped ass, fallen fat with better trip on mons than I had to be the chump who had no special pass yes folded from the solar. I

It's very proud of the fact my corney crashed through the world. Man was tied to her private piots looked up like a douche with nothing to protect by banded by the lights looked up like

a douche with nothing you put check the lights look like a douche. Shouldn't have light, A douche should All right, there's your report safety reminder from the kco DA radio program. Now, what made that song perfect is the term douche, Because it's like one of the most misheard lyrics and we just leaned into it. You know, occasionally, from time to time, something on this show is inaccurate or we we talk about it, and then you

know, as news develops, it then becomes inaccurate. So now you try to make an effort when that happens to make sure you're armed with the latest information. But this one not on me, And that very same excuse, I guess cannot likely be used by journalists who never really questioned some of these

numbers. And I think that we did because there were a lot of a lot of concerns when they were taling COVID numbers that you know, we discuss like, you know, are we going to delineate between somebody who died from COVID versus somebody who dies with COVID, And then the excuse would come out.

They'd be like, well, technically, people don't die of HIV, they die of an infection that the HIV has rendered the body the inability to I guess AIDS in this case, but you know, the AIDS has rendered the ability or the the the ability of the body to fight back against things like pneumonia, which is generally mixed in there for a lot of those cases,

and it's not the same thing. People want to transparency because they already thought that they were getting lied to because well, they were getting lied to in a variety of ways. And even we had Fauci here on the show and I asked him it was I think the first question I asked him, right, So, if you remember the initial kickoff with the mass was they initially told people don't go get masks, it won't do any good. And then later they're like, if you don't have a mask, I will purge

you from society. And you know that about face, and Fauci did talk a little about of it, a little about it. That was a known deception. Now you can argue the reason for it. The people are dumb, panicky animals reason, and they realized that the nation's supply of mass that even healthcare providers would would need, if everyone in the public was out there buying those, then they would run into problems. Like that's a justifiable concern

based on the way that human reacts. The humans react, And it's long been one of my biggest beefs in politics because I just I've said here as an observer, you sit here as an observer I'm not out making policy. However, when a politician or a bill that a politician is backing comes up, and it is easily predictable how people would react to that. For them to operate not thinking about that knowledge is disingenuous at best and also opportunistic.

The best example I can give you is the adjustment during the Obamacare era of what constitutes a full time employee right where the number used to be forty and you had a lot of people that were in working situations where they'd get, you know, thirty seven hours, thirty eight hours, thirty nine hours.

I'd been there. If there was a time when I worked for Iheartware, I was considered a not a full time employee, and I would come in and I would work somehow I was able to fit it in, but I would come in and I would work thirty you know, thirty nine hours or thirty nine and a half hours. And then when Obamacare came in and they said no, no, no, full time employee constitutes thirty hours, it was you could know nothing. You could have never interacted with humans, and

you knew that people would adjust to that, and they did. And the opportunistic side was then the Democrats could run around and say, look at all these businesses. They're doing it right now. To the businesses out in California, which following the implementation of the twenty hour or the twenty dollars per hour wage for these fast food situations, minus some carve outs that seemingly went to one of Newsom's restaurants and some of his buddies that you knew what the reaction

was going to be. There were and the reaction was what you thought it was. There were whole restaurants closing, major adjustments and hours and some other changes that likely will be more long term, but I promise will be automation. So yeah, yeah, you see all this stuff, and it seems

it seems incredibly predictable. So back to this, the CDC has announced a whoopsie claiming that going back to the reporting which let's see here this goes back to spring of twenty twenty, they had showed that oney seven hundred and fifty five Americans under the age of eighteen had died from COVID, and that was

that was always an interesting number. It's not a big number compared to other other groups, but it is when you compare it to what we now know about people under the age of eighteen and the likelihood that getting COVID could be fatal. It just doesn't track and would ask to explain it. You know, there are a lot of people like, oh, do you just you

want more dead kids? What are you talking about? Well, now, the CDC admits that the number was just twenty five percent higher than it should have been, and there were even experts who say it's actually much higher than

that. But but they say there was a coding data error which apparently had not been found during the entirety of this reporting, and only now as the CDC is going back and looking at it, they are adjusting the numbers and it's not just the youngions, but that's one of the highest percentage of what they say was a quote coding air. The actual correction from the CDC will remove over seventy thousand deaths and it's still unclear as to what the dividing line

is there, And the CDC says it was a coding logic. Care I mean it feels like that's on purpose, does it a little bit? Yeah? Because what are people most protective of, right their children and their pets. I was gonna say, but guns right now, chill their children. And that's why a lot of people went along with this BS that maybe in the back of your mind you were like this, somebody doesn't feel right, but you know, I'm gonna put my children for They scared people with the

kids. MM. Yeah, because you take that out of the equation, and and most of these shutdowns, and especially obviously the school stuff, it never happens, and we never get to where we are today. All told, seventy two two hundred and seventy seven deaths, including four hundred and sixteen PG pediatric deaths, have been removed from the CDC's official number. Now they actually charged they started changing number March fifteenth, and really didn't say anything.

And then people I guess who were still paying attention to this way what wait a second, what what's going on here? Eventually the Washington Examiner did a big piece and actually got a CDC spokeshole to comment on it. Uh and uh it was this guy's her name, I'm sorry, Jasmine Red said that, Look, we're working with real time data. It's in an emergency.

We have multiple reporting tunnels referencing some twenty six states, which actually we're providing all of the real time data, and it was only after where they started to reevaluate some of the information and determine that the mortality rates due to either confusion on the part of the States or a misunderstanding on the part of the medical community as to what the CDC was looking. Yeah, I'm not buying any of this, So you just everybody else is dumb except you and you're

coding. Are absolutely, absolutely, probably a lot more going on there, and this is just them trying to soft sell it craziness. All right, eight forty four, Let's get Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. He's joining us, and all right, here we go the day of insane, which if the world does and I wish they'd pull this crap before the show, but for now we'll operate under the assumption that other than traffic snarls and some

bad corneas, here we are. All right, So what's up? Yeah, well, yeah, and lots of sunshine, some clouds, a little more cloud and a better chance of seeing some clouds this afternoon. Try it and west into the mountains. But if you catch it at the right time, you can be able to see what we get of our partial eclipse mid seventies obviously to be a temperature drop. I don't have a forecast of how much that temperature will drop, but it may drop a few degrees when we

get that partial coverage of the insulation or the sunshine. Today in the mid

fifties. Tomorrow normal day, lots of clouds around, maybe some passing showers, not a bunch of rain, low to mid seventies, but I think the rain chances later the week are going to go up Wednesday not they have a Thursday, and into Thursday night and Friday, there could be some heavier rain, especially Thursday Thursday night as some of the guidance kick it out, maybe some heavier rainfall across parts of the western parts of the state, Western

Carolina's into the southeast Orgia, Alabama, which may extend this far east into the Try and the Triangle. So we're kind of be on the edge of that, maybe one to possibly up to two or three inches. Those two three inch totals will probably be in the mountains casey, so I think we'll get wetter later in the week, dryer for the beginning of the week.

Okay, all right, well, uh well, we're kind of in this pattern, So let's do it. Appreciate it, sir, yep, all right, look at this hold on somebody's a coding air is completely plausible. I do a lot of data analysis. I can tell you the errors occur frequently. It could take months to figure out a single line of coding thousands. And don't get me wrong, I don't I don't disagree that when you have what do you have so many sources of the data coming in for such

a large operation. I get that. I understand that. However, the evaluation and the scrutiny on this particular topic was so intense, was so intense hence, and people were so righteous in the numbers that they were putting out in the decisions that they use those numbers to make that I'm in twenty six

different stule. I'm just not buying it. I think it might have been where people realized those on the inside that the numbers coming in weren't exactly fitting within the parameters what they're looking for, and felt that if they stopped to uh, if they stopped to check it or contest it, that you saw what happened to people even within the medical field, even medical professors at Stanford and Harvard who stepped outside of the uh of the lines during COVID. You

saw what happened. So if you're somebody who's handling, you know, your health and human services for one of the states reporting, and you feel like the numbers are not right, are you whistleblowing on that? There's not a chance. There was not a chance, especially during the high proportion of that, that somebody could step out and do it. Some to think about. We'll be back. Well. Good morning, Casey, Happy Eclipse day.

Looks like the stock market could open higher this morning. Saw the futures very volatile earlier on, but they've settled higher now with the Dow futures up sixty three points. Big media mergers being discussed. Source to say sky Dance, led by David Ellison, is in talks with Paramount Global on a deal to combine the two companies. Paramount's controlling shareholder, Sherry Redstone, has agreed to sell her holdings to Ellison on the condition that he can close the Paramount Skydance

merger. CEO of JP Morgan Chase compares the potential of artificial intelligence to the invention of the printing press, the steam engine. Computing in the Internet. In his annual letter to shareholders, Jamie diamond says AI may be the biggest issue his bank is dealing with. He says the technology could augment virtually every job. Diamond says Chase has thousands of AI experts exploring deploy generative AI.

A proposed national standard on data privacy is picking up by partisan support on Capitol Hill. If adopted, it could be a major step forward in the effort to protect American's personal information online. We could get a first look at Tesla's Robotaxi this summer, and ex posting by Elon Musk said the electric carmaker would take the wraps off the autonomous vehicle in August. Tesla first pitched the concept

of a fully autonomous vehicle to investors in twenty nineteen. More than thirty gigawatts of the nation's solar energy will be wiped out today by the total solar eclipse, which will occur during prime generating hours and a case. Target is among the retailers that found out that when they save money by replacing cashiers with self checkouts, theft increases. Now Target is deploying new technology it's called true scan, going into its self checkout registers, cameras detect items on scanners, and

alert shoppers if something is left on scanned. The system will supplement weight sensors already in use to enhance security and reduce theft hopefully anyway, casey, yeah, at what point they're going all science to? At what points should you have just let I don't know, humans check people out. I mean it's got to be. It worked for years, didn't it. It seemed to work. Yeah, I remember, all right, appreciate it, Jeff every seven, Okay, you tooe take care. Yeah, and look it had

its pitfalls, don't get me wrong. But still the self scan. I like the self scan if I have two things and they're open. But I don't like it if one of those things requires somebody to walk over and punch buttons, right, because it's like, you know, maybe I got some beer or one of other nine thousand things that require somebody's code. But you

know, we all know. But man, these things are going like super sciency, and it's like, again, I could have predicted this behavior some people, if they think they have the opportunity, you're going to do this. By the way, this is an amazing story when you actually you actually think this thing out. So have you seen bot so, I don't know

if you know this. Botswana is mad, okay, and they're mad because in nineteen eighty four in the nation of Botswana, there were fifty thousand elephants left, which is a lot of elephants, but from a Botswana standpoint, that's pretty low number. And as a result, a litany of European and American interests and environmentalists jumped in, which eventually, at the time, through basically some bribes, you had these first world nations that essentially got Botswana to

agree to a ban on hunting, which wasn't the problem. The problem in Botswana was poaching, right, but they went they decided to go full scale with hunting, and then later when the money dried up, Botswana, who had trophy hunts, were a huge revenue producer. Now they're mad. And following that, several countries, including delegates from Germany and the UK, started to When Botswana brought that up, they started to demonize them over at the

UN. And so Botswana said, well, the problem is is we don't have any population control. Now we've done the poaching crackdown. In fact, the UN is involved in that so they have you know, armed individuals and

there's no hunting and as a result, Botswana is overrun with elephants. In fact, they've reproduced, which is only about every four years they reproduced, but with no pressure on them, they've reproduced and tripled and they estimate one hundred and thirty thousand animals, which have now become a giant threat to humans because the elephants are looking for range. They're bigger than the humans and if they want to do something somewhere, they generally do it because they can.

And so last week Botswana said, hey, if you like these elephants so much, they threatened to ship thirty thousand elephants to Germany and thirty thousand to the UK. Can you imagine if a boat pulled up to the to the you know, uh uh, the Cliffs of Dover right south southeast of London there and offloaded thirty thousand elephants, the absolute hellscate pandemonium that would soon encompass the UK. I'd watch every minute of that, like that's that's a declaration

of war. Man. And the smaller the country, the crazier it would be. Right, pick a tiny country. He's got a big ego just won't shut up. You drop thirty thousand elephants on their shore to just run amuck. Just think of a pandemonium you would create. So I don't know if they're going to do it, but I don't know why. I just think it'd be really funny.
