Cacoday radio program and the phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Ross, you are missing out, dude. It is. It looks like the it looks like a space cruiser in For those of you who don't know, I am at our brand new Greensboro studios, which are technically in high Point. But yeah, yeah, we just we relocated downtown adjacent to where the ballpark is. They were building out some new studios.
I've been excitedly following it and got in yesterday yesterday afternoon, drove over from Raleigh and I was just kind of setting everything up in here broadcasting. Does it sound incredibly different the process? Completely? Oh okay, Well that's because that's because I'm in space. So although it does look more empirey than anything else in here, because it's all Matt Black with all the equipment and everything. So all right, well for you, for all of you listening,
you'll be like, oh, that's cool. For Ross and I, if it sounds slightly different, it is wildly unnerving and until we get used to it, so but anyway, cool. Yeah. No, these are very nice over here, so they have they have done a lot. If you haven't been into downtown high Point in a while, and you're thinking, well, why want I go there? Bar, They're doing a lot down here, so this is this is very cool. So glad to be checking those out. And yeah, just digging through the stories. Oh the day.
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Apparently a little a little rock slide or something caused seventy two of you to send me the collapsing Wyoming roads story Titon pass over there pop, although I would point out that that is that that particular highway to get to Jackson, Wyoming from the Idaho side. It's a bit of a California funnel because you got you got the you got rich Californians that have come into Wyoming. They love the tax situation. I don't know
if you know this. And then they go meet their moonbat buddies over I like, Oh Sun and call Caldwell and those areas over in Idaho where they have like the other big film festival. So you know, the locals know how to get places. This is what I'm saying. So they're gonna be five but yeah, no, it's crazy, man, when you have a mountain Pasco. I'm trying to think of something in North Carolina, that would be akin to it. I mean, you're just not dealing with the as
much elevation. But no, it's a that's a pretty crazy story. Although I did see a little sliver of dirt still connected. And I grew up with some dudes who would try that. You think I'm joking. They would look at the dirt that's still on the side of it if you saw any of the video, and they'd be like, Oh, I got that. What you want to do is you just don't want to slow down. It's
simple physics. People. When you're up at I don't know how what elevation of the past, but yeah, you're up around eight thousand, nine thousand feet, you're basically lighter than air, so if you get enough speed, you're just g It's like dudes jumping across the moon. Is what I'm going to tell Californians who still want to use that road. And I've instructed my friends back home, so we'll see if they trust the science on that.
But yeah, that is a pretty crazy story. But I just want to let you know I've got it, because I've already been sent it three times again this morning, so and we'll tweet out a link if you're like, what the hell is he talking about? We'll get that out for you here so you can you can gaze upon the fury of mother nature and and very shallow water tables. You know, I twenty five, uh near between Buffalo and Sheridan, Wyoming. I was I guess I would have been college aged
by then. That road just middle of the night gone. And you got to understand, like, if you're driving on an Interstate Wyoming at night and you're not maybe on that I eighty shot where you get all the truck drivers, you could fall like that, you could fall into a giant pit that used to be the road, and like there may not be another dude that comes along for thirty minutes. So yeah, so that's wild times there, all right. So coming up on the show, we got that checkbox there
do to do? Okay, very exciting. I know, normally it's a master maybe the British Open, just because I like how it times out so I can watch it during the show instead of doing my job. But I'm sorry, having a major right here in North Carolina, it's gonna be a fun week and it's not gonna be like the US Open. What was it eight years ago, it's been what is the rotation on? Is it eight years? Ten years? When it was at Pinehurst? I don't know if
you guys remember the last Open at Pinehurst? It was one billion degrees and I don't believe I'm exaggerated. It was miserable hot and try to remember. And the scoring was awful. I mean, don't get me wrong, Pinehurst number two is a bear. I did the worst thing possible on that course. During so this was going back to the Open. They had a media Hey, come see the course and uh, you know, cry because we'll
show you where they're hitting it from. And that was like a week and a half, two weeks before it and me and Brian the bad boardop went down and they put us all. You know, they had all the different media people and sponsors right, and they had stuck. I can remember what hole we started, well, I think we started on nine, right because they you know, it was everyone a shotgun start thing. So we were at nine and I almost birdied it. Now, don't get me wrong.
They did not have the green speed set yet they didn't have the waste. How the waste is if you know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about there you're thinking rough, but rough or sand, but that's those are like layers and versions of that on Pinehurst too, depending on how you can manipulate the ball, you're staying ants, if you can ground your clubs, stuff like that. So it wasn't even they didn't have. It
turned up to miserable. Then it turned up to all right, a little bit of a challenge, and I almost birdied the first hole, and I'm like, what are they talking about with this course? And I would say about twelve or thirteen holes in right on that very famous par three there as you're coming in, I contemplated not playing anymore. It was going so horribly. So that is and I'm not a horrible golfer, but I'm not a
good golfer. And they had a fore caddy with us, and if you don't know what that is, basically that's a poor bastard's got to stand out there and figure out where my drive went. That dude doesn't make enough money. And at one point he puts his hands up and I thought he was indicating it was over, and then he does the international sign for and I realized at that point I was hitting a provisional. So now I'm pumped.
Man. We got a golf tournament, we got roads falling off. I'm helming the one of the uh the Dreadnoughts in here with my space studio. So yeah, gonna be a good morning. All right, we'll dive in. We got some audio to get into, just just a bunch of stuff. Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four back in just a few kc O Day radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. That'll that'll get you on the on the show
on this fine morn as. So they're trying to get my button bar to connect between Hey look at that. All right, thanks for playing. That's because we got audio. So NBA Finals, don't know if you're following that, but of course thing going. And now I do have a beef with the NBA Finals, and they're not the only sporting event with multiple games in playoff situations, but like, when when did the NBA Finals? When was when did that become three weeks? Like do the math on game one?
Like the and I think game seven is scheduled for what like the twenty third or something. If it goes to seven I mean back when we were kids, wasn't it just like a week? I think I think what happened is right, It was the end of the season, right, and then Jordan and Bird would walk over back to the you know, into the arena, and then I think they just start, right. Was that our childhood? That was our childhood? Right? Just there was? And now it's a
month almost. I mean, if you count the gap following the clinching of the final spots, it's a month. Would you let me ask you this, would you want to know that you are one game or one series away, you know, depending on the sport, right, for a month? For a month? Would you would you want that banging around in your head? Especially if you finished Yeah, obviously you finished strong to get there. You vanquished all of your opponents to get to the finals, and then for
a month you're in that position. And I look, obviously that's what makes a top tier athlete a top tier athlete. And some can handle it and some can't. And you know, this is going to irritate some of you Panthers fans maybe, but I loved watching Cam Newton play. But that Super Bowl, so you just there, you know, they're there there comes a time when some athletes And that doesn't mean he couldn't do it in another situation. Obviously he had some really high profile games. But I know me man,
and I would worry. It just seems like there's such a gap that it's going to stop any sort of momentum that you might have. Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. I felt the same way about the Wolf Pagacty state in the you know, in the in the tournament this past year. I said that to him, like, there's like a big leg, there's a big gap there, and they're playing their hot right now. They get cool off in that time, yeah, or or you know, sometimes sometimes
it goes the other way. Sometimes you get a team that just comes in and I don't know, they get the mindset right, and they kind of limped in there, you know, a team with immen's talent that's been underperforming, but and then all of a sudden they come, you know, and then and then you get you get situations like you get one of my favorite Super Bowl parties ever, sitting in that room surrounded by Patriots fans. One giant dude. I'm talking to giant dude, and we know what happened,
and obviously that season up until that point was perfect. But of course, even though I want to talk about basketball or ancillary stuff surrounding it with the scheduling so that we can do though when I was your kid, Brouh, the reporters they don't want to talk about basketball. They want to sit there and they want to find their their little woke moment. So what's the woke moment in this case? Can you believe there's two black head coaches? Ross?
When you heard that? Were you near a fainting couch? I mean, are you okay? When I learned, I damn near killed myself. It's different for me because I'm in the media. I'm somebody following me all the time with a fainting couch. So yeah, it's not. That's so like Victorian England with the l like the carry chair kind of stuff. Now, my carry chair is the one from three hundred. Yeah, it's really nice. Have you seen it. It's made from gold. It's made from
gold and slave bones or whatever he had on there. So yeah, it was do that thing with wild Does the pit come with the chair? Well, there's so the there's false chairs that actually if you if you choose poorly into the pit you go. So it's I've put a little, a little indie Indiana Jones twist on it. So you think they want to talk about basketball, but no, they want to talk about that. And kudos to
the Celtics head coach fielding this nonsense question. Look, if there's if there's one thing that basketball professional basketball, I I still fail to understand the hand ringing over it is representation of black players and black coaches even and I go, well, I got a lot of head coaches. Nobody's stopping a coach who can win. Okay, No, that's that's not happening. So just let him. Let him play the same of the player that can win.
Nobody cares. Yeah, don't care. I mean you're gonna have unique one offs that are not racially motivated there, you know, stuff like guy comes in there and he is he doesn't gel with the team. But that's you know, now you're talking about performance. So listen to this question and answer
from the Celtics coach. Hey, Joe Ben school with Yahoo Sports. For the first time since nineteen seventy five, this is the NBA Finals where you have two black head coaches given the plight sometimes with black head coaches in the NBA. Do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride in this? How do you view this? Or do you not see it at all? I wonder how many of those are being Christian coaches? You see? Hey radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. That'll get you get your crack in there here as we get things rolling on this fine Monday morning, and we're going to start it with a Donald Trump fact check. Apparently Litt something he said at what was it Turning Points. I don't know what they call their conference over the weekend, but immediately they had to rush out and debunk this over at NBC News.
Let's hear what he says. Go and stop people from robbing stores. You go to some of these departments, who will five hundred people walk into the source, They walk out with air conditions, They stripped the whole store, The company goes out of business, the store is vacant for twenty five years,
The whole city becomes this. And if you do anything as a law enforcement person, they take away your house, they take away your family, they take away your pensick all right, So now was he talking about one specific store? Obviously not. Is there five hundred people? I don't know, man, I gotta I mean, what do you count? You saw some of like Macy's getting run during the most mostly peaceful protests. I don't
know that there were five hundred in there. But what he is talking about, and anyone who is not disingenuous in the way that they're they're listening to it, he s he's talking about a scenario where people organized will go in and through the use of numbers, right, this is this is a real power in numbers situation here. Yeah, one person, although depending on where
you are, they won't do anything. So but you go in and you have fifteen people with you know, they're with their mat with their face masks, they got their bags, and they're just speed running whatever they want, like it's the final part of supermarket suite, man, And then they're out. And by the way, that's not some new iteration. That's literally a way in which mobs will go in and do this. They've been crashing gas stations for forever, man, So that's what he's talking about, a non
far fetched video evidence thing. And uh u no, no, he's lying. Obviously he's lying. How do I know? Well, NBC News told me, oh good, I did hook one of the Patriots fans. Dude, you want to get Patriots fans. Don't just insult them, but inaccurately insult them. It makes them take the bait and admit their season wasn't perfect. My job here is done, thank you, sir. I thought Boston Paul would slip into it. Oh wait, hold on, awesome, Paul emailed me too. Are you remote? You sound like it? Oh?
Now you're now you're you're an audio expert. Huh is that from listening to all of the undercover Mike stuff from the Strip Club investigation? What is is that? How you get good at that? Sitting in the van? You didn't even get to go in. You were the guy in the van, weren't you? I know what's up anyway? So uh yeah, So Donald Trump said that, and apparently he is a he's a big fat liar,
according to NBC News saying that did not happen. And again, remember the standard for these fact checks and what you do is you want you say all right? Both candidates said this, How would it then be? How would it be processed by Snopes, and then once you do that, you'll get a pretty good idea of whoever else you're listening to. I think they're so hung up on the number five hundred. But he's not being literal. He's
it's it's nice. It's like saying, there's a million people pulled up to the store and went in, and we've seen those videos, right, and we saw all, yeah, a lot of them. We saw her in the riots of twenty twenty during that summer, the summer A Piece of Love or whatever was where you see these people come out. Yeah, there's tons of them, and you could say easily there was a million people. It doesn't mean there was a million people. He's just saying, this is the
thing that happened. And anybody that's what to videos in the past four years, five years, or even worked retail these stores, know, is it something that's happened right right, right right? And I was trying to think that. I remember the macy remember the big Macy's looting thing that was going
on. I don't know if there was five hundred, but like that video was wild because people had like they had they had it evenly across sections, right, not everybody's looting shoes, some people are over looting bags or whatever, and then some and I don't know if they had like a meeting that day and everybody draws out of a bucket or how that works. But she's arguing the number, which again is an exaggeration but kind of not really would
ross. You would say, during the summer of mostly peaceful love and protest in Kumbai, ya that at during the peak summer weekends. Do you think across the country five hundred people were looting on any given day during the summer yet, Yes, but it doesn't even matter even if it was one person, that this is something that's still happened, even if it's you could say one point. Well, but that's what she's arguing. Yeah, no,
no, no, no, you can't. That's what she's arguing. Though she's arguing that they weren't, that they were all independent entities, you know what I'm saying. She was arguing that they were organized one or five hundred. It is all a lot of times it is organized. Yeah, Mark, he was working at aulta man they'd pull up there where a guy would go in there with a trash bag, just go in there and just like, you know, take anything he wants off the shelf, and they weren't
allowed to stop him. They finally stopped him because he punched a pregnant woman. Yeah, I can't do that. Oh though some places you can so or you can put a gun to their belly. So AnyWho, that's yeah. So that's literally these sticking points for their argue. Well there was not there was five hundred, and there could literally be five hundred and one people looting your house right now, and she'd be like, that's not five hundred.
Why are you exaggerating ross, But five hundred people came into my house today. Well, the one thing he would want for the press in the United States with somebody that exaggerated the facts. Yeah, no, that's fair, that's a that's a good point. Yeah. Can you imagine holding you in the office like that President of the United States and you're just a big liar all the time, lying about everything. Well, here's the thing.
It's exaggerating when we exaggerate, and it's no like if let's say Marky sent you to go get to target or where I don't know where she sends you, but she sends you somewhere to acquire something and you come back looking like you just landed the beaches of Normandy. And she said, what's wrong? There's like a million people? Yea? Does she go, I can't be buried to a liar? Is that that's how it goes? Pic video? And then and then it's a bunch of people sitting around like trying to guess
inauguration crowd sizes. Yet it's understood that it's exaggeration, it's hyperbole. Right, it's not exactly I'm not going to actually count the number of people. I'm just saying there's a lot of people there. Yeah, yeah, I mean this is you know what it is. You have to strip away the human to do a lot of it. Now, Donald Trump exaggerates, and when Donald Trump says stuff, he says stuff that's not true a lot. But the question is is it exaggerated in what he's saying. Is he saying
it to make a point? Is he conflating two things? Is he speaking in the way that he speaks? Look if Biden is exaggerating, but he is exaggerating to a point. I'm trying to think of what would be a good example from from that political perspective, Like that stuff just rolls off of me. That's not where I'm gonna sit here and have beef with somebody, you know. But yet we're we're sitting there and we're trying to figure out
whether they won the thing. It's more offensive is heard indicating that like like people are only individually making these decisions. And then it's like it's like, uh, it's like a zombie outbreak. Right, nobody showed up to loot except one guy, and then other people saw it and they just they were they were filled with the holy spirit of looting, right, and then just
boom, now everyone's looting. But the reality is, you know, you have four dudes in a car, like all right, you got your master ready, let's do this, and then the run in, grab whatever they want, run out. Don't don't punch a pregnant lady. You might not even get caught. That's where we find ourselves this morning. Hey, I have a I have a quiz for you. You ready, Ross, you haven't seen this story? The uh uh the shooter in Tennessee, the Nashville
shooter whose manifesto is so dangerous, so dangerous? Who paid for the gun that was used? Who bought the gun? Since you know. These are the conversations we uh, we generally want to have, right because they just assume everything is from Bob who sits in the parking lot over at the you know, the gun and knife show loophole. No, no, no, no. Who paid for the gun that was used in the shooting in Nashville in the Christian school? I have no idea. I would think the shooter
or maybe they got it from their parents' house or something. No idea. I mean that that would be the natural conclusion, right, like the thing you did, Ross paper. Yeah, I was unaware of this. Are you sorry? Hey? And for those of you listening right now, go thank god, I'm not Ross. No, you paid for it too. That go. In fact, when we come back, I'll explain what's that about while you feel guilty? Hang on. So yeah, let's just go ahead and get into this little nugget of info that I saw. Let's see
last night, it was after I sent the prep to Ross. I was trying to get a sleep on and then boom, I see this little story here. All right, new report. Let's check this out. A report by the Tennessee Star indicates the I'm not going to say dirtbag's name, but the twenty eight year old transgender woman who shot and killed six people back in March of twenty twenty three, after penning the manifesto so dangerous they had to hide it from you, sheds a little light on exactly how this was funded.
So, according to reports, the shooter who had previously purchased a weapon. According to her parents, they said that they knew she had bought one gun in the past and that she had sold it and they were not aware. Is that she actually had acquired three the AR fifteen. For anyone who has purchased one, they are not inexpensive, if you know, if you're going with the decent model there and let's see here. I want to make
sure that I'm breaking this down exactly how they're reporting it. That had been the initial reporting that you know, with the AR fifteen all of that. However, according to numerous media reports, including CNN, who initially claimed that the shooter was in possession of an AR fifteen military style rifle, they were
not not during the not during the attack. Let's see what is Brian Wilson is the guys the because they're also quoting a local radio host there all right, So specifically, and you're going, wait, why are they AR one one AR pistols and ar You should you know, educate yourself even if you don't want to have one or either just you should you should check that. But specifically, what was in possession was the AR pistol, a handgun, and then a carbine. So where did the money come from? Specifically for
the Caltech? Was it a Celtech sub two thousand? Not cheap? According to reports here in the Tennessee Star, the money was provided as part of an education grant where they apparently did no due diligence. Yeah, the money, which initially was allocated and applied for as part of educational supplies grant, was instead used to purchase weapons as well as to pay for training at a
local gun range. So I guess in that education side. But obviously if you go to apply for it, you say you want it for I don't know, some sort of training up at of our fine shooting ranges around these parts. Uh, They're they're not going to give you the money, not for a thing for books and stuff like that. Now, can people misallocate the Yes, absolutely, and it probably is not the first time that people have used essentially our money to uh, you know, for purposes that it
was not intended. I think COVID relief dollars were probably a good indicator. Or the drunkest guy you went to college with. That was all. That was always so wild to me because I didn't have I didn't have a bunch of a bunch of scholarship or grant. I don't begrudge anyone who did. I was really really tight, and because my family is not wealthy, and especially at that time, you know, my mom still got three kids at
home. I'm off in another place. She's a single mom, right, so I would It was crazy to me when, especially when I lived I lived with like seven other guys for two years. We had eight of us in this big, big, big house. And like they they get checks for school stuff, and then all of a sudden they'd be like I bought I had one roommate. I'll tell this story. I had one roommate who
bought a He he was the marijuana guy, just constantly smoking pot. And he bought like this four or five inch tall bud that looked like a Christmas tree, and he built a little stand for it and put it in a jar. Like it's a bonze eye ship and a jar kind of thing, and his dumb ass would show it off at parties. What do you think he got stolen? Obviously, I'm pretty sure that that was education funding,
So I understand that deal. Excuse me, by the way, if you get whatever that I had prepare for, like at least another week, it feels like of just coughing it no, actually five hundred more days of coughing, so you've been warned. I think that's an exact number. Hopefully NBC News doesn't fact check me. That's me having coughing fits off to the side. I do apologize, all right. So Ross was just filling me in
on a little housekeeping stuff. So because I was near death last week on Wednesday, we did not get a chance to have Lieutenant Governor on and so that has been moved to this Wednesday. So if you enjoyed that segment, we'll have him on Wednesday, and then whatever he says will immediately be made into an attack ad by Josh Stein. So hey, it's you know,
we're into the general election season. That is awful anyway, So you know you want to if you want to be here when news is being made so that you can hear it in context, so that later when you see like a seven second clip on a commercial for the three thousandth time, By the way, that's not an exaggeration. So much money is going to be spent. At least you'll know what you know, what we were actually talking about. So put that on your little your little calendar there, all right,
let me flip over to this thing. I don't know how the pecking order goes, and I'm not trying to start a fight, but from a dude perspective, processing this story the way that it hit my brain, I'm like, ah. A firefighter was injured in Raleigh on Saturday. Potential head injury, condition not critical. And I hope everyone's obviously okay here. I'm not
hacking on any individual here. I'm just here's what happened. A Raleigh firefighter was injured after trying to rescue While he was rescuing a tree trimmer who got stuck in a tree in Raleigh, a thirty five foot ladder was used to help reach him. However, in the process of rescuing him, the latter shifted and moved and the firefighter struck his head again. He was taking the
hospital out of an abundance of caution since he did hit his head. But it sounds like it may be one of those uh situations where like, if you're a guy, I don't want to go to the hospital. Remember one of the very first, one of the very first stories I think Ross and I probably ever did was harpoon head dude. Oh man, now down thinking nostalgically about harpoon head dude. What an amazing example of a modern day guy. Guy has a harpoon through his head and wouldn't go to the hospital.
I'm gonna repeat that, he has a harpoon through his head. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, bye, you know, like, what do you meet with a little one or off to the side. No, No, like after he eventually his wife or somebody probably I'm sure his wife made him go to the hospital. Yeah, it's just a complete dude
thing to put it off as long as possible. Yes, completely and now and by the way, do you think she did it because she was concerned or do you think because he was puncturing her nine thousand pillows on the bed probably makes sure of both. Okay, all right, on my pillow but also, hey, I don't want you to die. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. He had a harpoon in his head, and it's like, no, I'm good, I'm god fine, Look i'm talking. I'm here, I'm walking through it. Well, I gotta turn sideways, but I'm walking
through the door. Look at that. Remember the last I'm fine. Last time, I was like a lot of pain, like the worst pain I felt. I was a hot sauce. You ate the shot? Oh that was bad? Yeah? No, I remember it was like, oh, this is bad, Like just standing in the kitchen. Wife wasn't sympathetic to you nod the hot sauce. No, she was like the tears coming down my cheek. I'm like, oh my god, this is bad. I'm
like, what is going on with my mouth? It's stupid. I'm just gonna take some ivy prof and I'm just gonna take some tile and alms. This is dumb. It'll go away. And then I'm like, this is I couldn't even talk. You would talk in the pain. And I finally, finally I went to the dentist and they're like they're like, your wisdom teeth, they're coming in. Yeah, They're like, we need to take these out, and I'm like, I thought that was like because I was
like forty, but there's not like forty years old. What are you telling me? I both had ours out in the last few years. Yeah, it's crazy, man. They're like, how long have you been dealing with this? I'm like, oh, a long time. Wasn't it painful? Oh? You have no idea? Why why didn't you come in? And I'm not I'm busy. I'm busy. I got life and stuff. That's how we roll. So with that aside, that's why I brought this story up. If you're a tree trimmer and you get stuck in a tree,
do other tree trimmers make fun of you? Right? I imagine that's the thing where you probably you probably waited a long time before he called anyone. Right, you're like sitting, Oh dude, you're already you're already peeling the sun. Yeah, we're going here too. This is where I die. Now, You're like, this is nice. It's got leaves. I'll wait for the leaves to fall off, and then somebody will see me the right come fall. They'll all collect under the tree and you can just jump into
them. Yes, look at that, and you didn't have to bother anybody that. I'm sure there's food up there. You have by like a squirrel or something. Yeah? Birds? Are you gonna land and stuff eggs? Oh? Free eggs in this economy? Do you know what eggs cost? Yeah? You do, Guy's got free eggs any and of view. I don't know exactly where this was. I just don't what's the pecking order there? Does a firefighter get to make fun of you? I mean, I know tree is not well. I guess it kind of is, right,
kittens and stuff get up there. He probably don't want to rescue kittens. Is a firefighter, but it's you know, it's part of the gig. So I don't know. I don't know if. I don't know if the Old Tree Trimmer Convention is gonna be rough for that dude or what. I'm glad everyone's okay, but it's like it's like a dude who teaches rock climbing. He's like, oh, help me, I'm on the side of this mountain. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Guy's gotta come along with
a ladder. I'm not even gonna pick on the firefighter, although technically, you know, it's your ladder, bro, But I understand things happen. I'm going to assume, in all seriousness, I'm going to assume that dudes, you know, it was harnessed or roped and things got twisted up and but still I just saw that, and I'm like, oh man, I don't think i'd tell the other tree trimmers. Yeah, Bob, where you been all day? Oh man? Yeah I did. I had this,
I had this other project. It was out of town. You wouldn't know about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah Canada. Yep, No, been working on that up in Canada all day. Now you wouldn't. You wouldn't know the tree anyway. Nothing to see here. Let's see doesn't say? Uh, it doesn't look like the tremor himself suffered any injuries. So again, praying for the firefighter there. But what a weird story, man, all right? So Sayan Francisco, just a just get one good idea after
another. I don't know if this is intended to do anything except just funnel as much taxpayer dollar as possible to one of the richest places in the world. But why not they or if it's intended to cut down on all these people are still in tied you know, everything in the CBS for food and not you know, as part of a criminal enterprise. It's just they need bread and they can apparently you can convert fifteen dollars small tide washer things to
bread or something. I don't know. Well they have they've come up with a new moon bat idea, which I'm sure will work perfectly, actually kind of will based on the way they have this financially set up. So we'll let you know what insanity they are up to. And we're gonna have to get into Cuban missile Crisis part two, so I'm sure that's gonna be that'll be fun. And that's kicking off here in just a few days, so we'll give you the details on that next here on the CaCO Day radio program.
I think you're fear mongering, and I don't think that that is helpful in keeping the peace and protecting democracy and conserving whatever. Blah blah blah. I'm just saying, reading about what's going down into France today, you know, with Theron, I see it's little shady, a little shady. I would they're having elections over in Europe. I was just looking at the German results Over in Germany, the ruling party lost eighteen percent, which is I
guess the progressive party there. Right wing parties picked up the main party picked up ten percent, all on their own. And what's scaring the crap out of them is they're really young. The voters they hemorrhaged the progressive side are very young. A lot of them went to the right, some of them just dipped out. They just don't want anything to do with it. So that's over Germany. I'm trailing so bad. I'm gonna I'm gonna dissolve parliament
and move the elections. What you've never dissolved to parliament and moved elections to protect democracy. Joe Biden comes out and he's like, oh, I'm just just you know, the dissolving is the Senate in the House. I'm moving the elections to next March. Like what you feel you can't do that? What? No, you can't? Well? Ross, what is the word?
Listen, let me ask you a question, all right, mister fearmonger, give me one example of where a European country held an election then immediately started dissolving legislative bodies only to hold another election, but now under the purview of a newly established boty can you think of you can't. You can't happen in Spain. No, no, no, no, technically they didn't dissolve
it. They pretended it didn't happen. I'm talking about where they like, I don't know, just get rid of the uh, the legislative body, Like, you can't come up with any examples in Europe that might be connected to an anniversary last week. You can't think of any examples where that has happened. I challenged you, and you failed it. The same democracy, right, Oh yes, Spain was crazy. I remember remember what I was like when that story broke. I remember doing that on the air. I'm
like, this is madness. So basically last year in Spain, like the elections didn't pan out how they wanted. So they're just like, oh those elections die. Those were practice elections. No no, no, no, no, the real stuff's come under very tight parameters. And then you won't be able to vote in the Catalan area. And yeah, anyway, I was about to say, didn't they say that there? They said, well, no, there's gonna be another election because that that one doesn't count.
And plus, if you are the people over in this part of the country. You can't right because you keep voting that you don't want us or to be part of us anymore. Yeah, So the Catalan folks were not allowed in that secondary and they brought riot police in to keep them from voting. To save democracy. I'm sorry, I forgot that. Oh I forgot to
add that. Can we get that as a drop of the button bar next time you see an audio clip where somebody on ironically like Nancy Pelosi or somebody says, to save democracy, I just need that as a drop because you can get away with so much if you say that to save democracy. Oh yeah, it's getting It's wild. What's even more wild is that they kind of I guess maybe it's not, but it is a little how they pair up these different elections and then the EU is somehow an oversight board. I
still have, as you can imagine, immense discomfort with that. But the EU being the arbiter of what are and aren't fair elections, and then anytime there is an election that doesn't really align with the EU apparently there was. We had to redo those, got to redo those elections. Man, can't have those And you know what, what do you think will happen nothing. What do you think they're gonna do? And and they look they know how
to revolution over in France. Man, I've seen some stuff. I mean they went pro like back in the day, but I mean they haven't had that kind of like swagger in a long time. Well, and to be fair, who showed him how to do it? Right? Who directly before that? Right? It's not like they Well, I mean I think right their revolution was a little different, but I think they were inspired by someone else. Things sound a little different this morning. It is because I am
at our very I mean brand new. There was still film on one of the screens studios in Greensboro. So yeah, doing the ninety four to five thing today, and it feels like a spaceship in here. It's really nice. Ross. Do you know they make boards where all the light bulbs work? Were you aware of this? I've stopped stopped your fact checking. What do you NBC News Now? We're not five honor people? Yeah, like the lights work? It's crazy. You sound like you're in like an Empire
escape pod. I would not know. Only cowards get into escape pods? Can we agree on this? So why are you calling me a coward. By the way, during the break, I can get a little video connection with Ross's studio. He is completely tangled in his headphone cables. This is in honor of the uh, the paratroopers in the Christmas lights. Yeah, it's in honor of the paratroopers that jumped into you know, on France. I have today and got tangled up in that tree. Don't cut me out.
Don't because disrespect them. This isn't because I'm an idiot, got tangled up in my my headphone cable. This is the troop on the tree trimmer. We got a three trimmer. Listen here. He sent me an email. He's like, I don't know who it is, but I'm gonna find out. I'm sorry. I thought that was funny. So you got like the good the good disease, like right out of the lab. Huh, like the first you got the fresh new disease right out of the lab. Oh man, dude, isn't that the worst? You've had? This too?
Where you're sick and then like a week later, even though you feel amazing, right, you just feel and then all of a sudden, nature is like, nah, not so fast. Here's a coughing fit for five minutes for no reason that I can think of. Yeah, so, yeah, I got that. It's it's good stuff, man, a little uh not escape pod here. So but the microphone sounds very different, which maybe you notice, maybe you don't, But to Ross and I, it's like
nails on a chalkboard. Even if it sounds good, it just sounds different because then you assume like a piece of your equipment. Soff so anyway, but that's what's up with that? And uh but really really nice. Plus we're right next to the ballpark for the in High Point, so the Rockers stuff right here. And literally we are on the outfield wall, so from the studios you're looking right out over the field. So that is super sweet.
It does you know? Now, granted that the Raleigh facilities have a better view because they're much higher up in the air, which allowed us to install, like Ross the Ross's weather window, which is still boasting a one hundred percent accuracy rate. But now this is very cool, very cool. All right, this is wild. If you haven't seen it, Ross, have you seen the sniper shot in Florida through the computer? I have not. Okay, I go to New York Post. It's on the right side.
It's like the second most story to see. You have it there. I'm sorry I should have sent it to you. All right, so this is really this is movie stuff right here. Newly released footage from Florida police show the incredible moment a sniper shot a bank robber through a desktop computer between two hostages, killing the suspect. It's crazy. Ooh, I wonder if I can port that computer through here. I'm afraid to touch anything in here.
Movie. You've got to have the capability in that spaceship of a studio to play the audio through the board from the from the PC right, I mean that would make sense. I don't know. Is that something I want to troubleshoot on the air. Probably not. I'll screw with it off. But all right, so check this out. Here's how the scene unfolds. A thirty six year old man goes into a bank Fort Buyers. It was a Bank of America, took two people hostage. You know, did the
thing that you see in the movies. Even if you're not a bank robber right once they got you, yeah, you don't be. You don't want to be going and checking the window all alone. So you hide behind hostages, coward little human shield action, what are you hamas? And then all of a sudden, the robber is getting frustrated, right because police are here. He realizes he's not getting out of there. Desperation is setting in.
He grabs, he crouches behind the hostages, and then as they're negotiating, he grabs one of the hostages into a headlock and put a knife to her throat. And police went, all right, this thing is not moving in the right direction. So you see swat officers around surrounding the bank. They've taken up positions, and a a guy one of the officers crouches down and the other officer uses him as a rest, which, by the way, let I have do you know how many rifles have been shot off my damn
shoulder? I don't recommend this and hearing protection, by the way, but I've been the rest for a dozen at least a dozen of our hunters over the years. Like because you know, you get out, especially into kind of the prairie part of Wyoming, there not trees, sagebrush is not a good rest. So the high school kid was driving you to where you get to hunt, you use him and trying to hold still. I'm just I'm just pointing this out, like, yes, these guys are these guys are
super trained. I'm not questioning that. But still, you're human, you're you're you're a rest, but you're also a movable rest versus being able to brace up like on a table or something along those lines. So just I just want to I just want you to understand the complexity of the shot.
I gotta be honest, like situationally it how do I how do I ask this what gets you to the point where your boss because right, every every one of these situations in the movies, there's always some screamy captain who's never happy even though you keep solving everything. Yeah, I know, it's still it's like Carl Winslow and die Hard right down there on the yes, the
street with the captain who's an idiot. Yeah, yes, right, but somebody had to be like, all right, take that shot, because that shot, if it doesn't go well, you melon one of those hostile hold on probably not the polite way to say that, you know what I mean, You shoot one of those hostages in the head, because for because you have an erratic suspect with a knife, like the amount of confidence you have to have in that, but you're looking at a situation that is quickly escalating
into a really bad place. It reminds me of the Captain Phillips shot where the Seals shot him through the window of the tiny submersible. Member was yes, sync sync up though, right? Yeah, that's different though, right, because they had time to plan in a new ere. This is different because it's a fluid situation and you have all the hot you know, well, I know, I think there's a lot of similar You're right, they did have time to plan kind of. Remember they didn't have line of sight
on two of these dudes. They they knew where, they knew where Phillips was. If you watched that scene in the movie and then you watch I saw a thing where they actually broke it down, I want to say, Jock is it, JOCKO if you watch Shako at all, I think he did a breakdown of this. Yeah, it's diagram of it, and the
diagram alone without the bobbing down the water is insane. That. Yeah, a thousand things are going on, and because you have really highly stressed individuals, you have Captain Phillips obviously, right, he's he's in this he's in that situation, and you know, every step of the way he knows that either these guys are going to kill him or hell fires coming through into this thing. Something's happening, and so you're probably just like, don't move an
inch, don't move. But you have these you know, you have the Somali pirates. They're moving around, they're loud. The one guy kept standing up, and you have to not make one shot. You have to make what three? Whether they shoot three simuled no or maybe it was was it four? That's crazy. But in this situation, uh, you know, you're sitting there and uh, guys already repositioned himself three times, and you
take that shot. The sniper aimed his rival with the suspect who you could see a small smidgeon of the head over the top of a computer monitor. And you also have the concern of what happens to that round when it passes through something. Now, And I don't pretend to understand all of the ballistics there, I mean, I guess I kind of do, because I understand I have a pretty good understanding of rifle rounds, speed drop charts, things
like that, just from over the years. As many of you probably do too, if you do a lot of hunting, or you like distant shooting, but still you hit something, it's like it's like watching. It's like watching somebody like Chris Kyle explain how they're setting up a shot at at like fifteen hundred yards and they're getting into they're getting into all that math that you didn't want to go to. Now. Granted this is closer, but holy
hell, keep talking to me, Keep talking to me. I want to know what's going through your head right now, said the negotiator, right before they shot them through it. I don't know if that's just like an action movie that I was just gonna say. I didn't think this was an action movie. And then you used a line you shoot the guy and he like you shoot him into the freezer, and you're like, chill out, put him on ice. You know what I mean? How many guys have thought
of what they would say? How many raise your hand? All right, I'll look at that. Every dude just drove off the road. No they didn't. You know why, because they're dudes and we can drive. That is wild, all right? You know what else is wild? Raced agic? In his vacation schedule. Amazing, Yeah, that's okay. We're going to do it to you next week. Oh yeah, after I almost died last week, then we're gonna do a vacation here next week. So good
to sound. Luckily I did escape the three reported shark attacks, but that was right in the area. Drand with you, I didn't even for a moment think that's a problem. Well, yeah, unfortunately we were exactly white where one of those that happened so long were right on it. Yeah, so we were right near today. A day later we left that day that had happened. But yeah, luckily that's is that a suit made out of shark leather? I don't know what that is? Yeah? Where? Okay?
Exactly. Yeah, we can talk as much as we want about anything else, because the weather is going to be absolutely beautiful this week and into the weekend. Now what's going to change is that the heat's going to come back. For now, it's going to be comfortable low to mid eighties the next two days overnight lows upper fifties to low sixties, so not too bad. And then as we get into Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, especially increasing
heat and humidity, Big Ridge going to build over the southeast. We're going back into the nineties by Thursday and Friday. Humidity coming back and maybe starting to see temperatures get into the mid nineties by Friday Saturday in and around the Triangle. Try it a couple degrees cooler. Mountains are still going to get into the nineties. And I don't see any appreciable rainfall here maybe through the upcoming weekend, Casey, So it's gonna be a pretty crazy week weatherwise.
Yeah, that's absolutely. I got ads asolutely soaked yesterday in downtown High Point trying to yeah, get into my into the new studios here. So well, we're a good shape now. So oh good, glad I got it out of the system. All right, Shark whisper, we'll talk in an hour, thank you. Yep, Yeah, there you go. Raced agic. He's literally Poseidon or something. All right, So all right, a
little more on this, a little more on the Sniper Store. Is a couple other things that are quite interesting, and then uh, yeah, I mentioned a little something about the Cuban missile crisis. I don't think this will be that, but yeah, hey we'll figure it out coming up case O Day Radio program. Uh Cuba's Minister of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the gorsh Cough, the Kazan, the Pachine and the nick Nika Lai Chick chicattle who knows put it at the bottom of the ocean. Okay, Uh,
the four vessels expected to arrive in Havana on Wednesday. But it's they're just they're just buddies. No, no, no, it's a Cuba said. They're like, it's just a friendly visit with historically friendly relations, and uh, you know, it's just normal stuff. Nothing to see here. And as you know, Russia having military equipment in Cuba, that's been a
topic of discussion in the past. Yeh, excuse me, I think other than just basically a fun little story to make jokes about it, I don't know that anyone's because you look, if you're Russia and you thought, oh, we're gonna we're gonna capture America with those Uh no, there's some Look, there's some dudes sitting somewhere, probably just south of Tampa, with gun sights on these things the whole time. The US official, so the military
exercise will include heightened naval and air activity. While we're disappointed that Cuba's likely agreed to host visiting Russian ships. We are not surprised at a US official. The official later confirmed the statement from Cuba that the sub is not carrying any nukes. The journalist's story. If you didn't see that, stand on, I have some thoughts, and I'm very curious what the spin is gonna look like. But let me, let me, let me hit this since
I promised it earlier. And well, you nice bed and just smashed my cable against something, all right, Uh, San Francisco, and I see what they're going to do here, Ross. I don't know why that just made me laugh so hard. I think it's because I've been there and I can't even imagine the grade that would be necessary for that. Idiots building the roads, you know what I mean? All Right, So, by the way, just let me give you the visual and he can retweet this.
So you know how mountain roads are very curvy, and they're very curvy because you're attempting to gain or I guess, uh, not gain as if you're headed downhill, but you're you're you're dealing with a lot of grade, You're dealing with a lot of altitude change, and so somebody, somebody's taken an overhead like Google Maps picture of the road where it collapsed on the big curve there, and they went, why would you just go straight to connect like
two of the bottom parts of the curve. But of course that would you know, create a ski slope for all practical purposes. But no, that's a very good point. And I you know what, I'm not encouraging this, and I do not want any of you if you're ever presented with this particular situation in Wyoming, I don't need the music. In Wyoming, they have gates where they just they'll shut an interstate off. I'm sure, especially
some of you truck drivers you know what I'm talking about. So if it's the weather's gonna get back, because they don't, there's not They always salt and there's way too much snow coming down sometimes, which is why the delineator pulls on the side of the road. On some of the passes are like six or ten feet tall, so you can maintain visual even with that much snow if they're trying to dig it out. So with that in mind,
but they have gates. So like when the weather got bad right at Buffalo, which is we're twenty five and ninety meters, they'll gate it and then you just physically can't drive on those interstates, which you know, if you're a traveler going through, you're off to the hotel, you go, and you just got to wait it out. But if you're local, I know how to get around every gate and exactly where I need to go, and a lot of times I don't even need to be on a paved road.
Ever. In fact, we we get bored during the summer and we'd see if we could drive from like Gillette to I don't know, Banner or something or spotted Horse and not. And you're only allowed to cross over paved roads other than that, just dirt roads. So it's not as far fetched as this this graphic looks, but it is kind of fun. I love.
I'm sorry the people in the comments that are like, well, the reason they had to make the road curving out of the way and not a straight line is it because then you drive more, so then you have to spend more on gas, which profits big oil. That's exact. Well, no, no, no, dude. I was going back to when I used to lie to people and would ask dumb wyoming questions like how old is a deer before it's an olk? Seven and a half. By the way, the answer is seven and a half. You had the half and it sounds
more absolutely correct. So yeah, I was gonna say, it's how they get you in Wyoming to spend your your your tourist dollars. We're going to keep you here longer because you gotta do you know, you got ten mile an hour switchbacks, spend your money. Cowards? All right? So anyway over to this, San Francisco has announced the their very first free food market. Ooh yeah. The cost I guess for the initial month or something is five and a half million. Okay, that was to set up and fund
the program for no, six months? Yeah, six months? Ah. Can you call something a market if there's no if it doesn't cost anything, is that a market? I mean, I fine, that's a small technical thing. But also other than the government funding this in perpetuity, like, what are you trying to accomplish? And then it dawned on me Ross I figured out what they're trying to do. You know that San Francisco has had
some issues with saft, homelessness, THESS. Right, these are all well documented, right, I have heard about them, Yes, okay, and you know they're probably they're not a good look because you'll even get San Francisco politicians will push back to'm like, oh, you're saggerated. It's not that bad. No, everything's great downtown. It's not, by the way.
So rather than continue to have a rampant steal whatever you want situation which has caused all of these businesses to get the hell out of the city center of San Francisco, just call it's something different. No, it's not a bunch of thieves running around stealing all the food and stuff down here. It's a free it's a free market. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, it's a market where everything's free. They're just customers. Boom. Name change solved, not a problem anymore. In fact, hold on, figure out which
are my seventy two mice? Is the correct one? Here? Here we go, all right, hold on, got something you're ready for this? Boom. San Francisco has announced its first five square mile open air outhouse. In fact, Guinness is gonna come by. It might be the biggest out house in the world. Five square miles open air, beautiful ocean breezes, little fog in the morning, co ed. That sounds impressive. You gotta bring the non gender specific bathroom facility. What do you think right now?
That's impressive. You got to bring the family out there to check that out. You check it out. Ball of twine, right, biggest ball of twine. Boom, big beer, big beer, boon, triple beat. Except this is real and the twine was too. Yeah, it's it's it's our new outhouse initiative, by the way. No, and it's gender any all genders, any of them. Fine, anywhere you want five square there you go. You know, the tenor one district where they got all the
the the basically the drug assisted needle situation. Like, people like that's bad, right, world's biggest medical clinic downtown San Francisco, directly adjacent to the free food market and the world's largest outhouse. Have you seen the Beach of Needles? It's wow. Actually I've been. You know, there is a beach called Needles in California, you know, Yeah, although it probably isn't
covered in needles because it's not near a lot of the insanity. But yeah, anyway, so anyway back to this, so Beach of Needles, Huh, that's nice. Can the kids find seashells there or just needles. Speaking of that, did you see that? You see what happened to that mom in California took her kids to the beach and they picked a bunch of seashells and there, and then all of a sudden, here comes here comes the government and what are kids that have picked up? Were clams? And of
course in California, everything's endangered. Everything is you know, Oh, you guys want you guys want water, so you could all you know, you'd be you know, not dehydrated or on fire all the time. And we got all this snow. Maybe we should build a reservoir. Can't the diversity beetle lives there? Have we seen one? But they saw one back in late seventies. Now we can't retain water. The four thousand square foot district ten free Food Market. I like how it's named like it's the Hunger Games.
Is that lost on anyone, Dude? If you live somewhere and they start naming stuff like the Hunger Games, move get out of there, or manipulate the draw. You got choices though. Now by the way, kid, you or I head down to the free food San Francisco Market directly adjacent to the world's biggest outhouse. No, Instead, you have to apply through the City of San Francisco and they will provide you a costco like benefits card
that allows you access to the facility. And even though you're not paying for any of it, they are going to track it for who the hell knows why I got I don't know. But yeah, so well, I'm sure that'll be a big success, big success there. All Right, we got to talk about and I think Kylon News was playing that ross. Did you hear Donald Trump talking about not taxing tips on the news this morning? All
Right, we're gonna have We're gonna have to get into this. I have some thoughts, I have some questions, actually, and I don't I don't know how I feel about that, be quite honest with you, and you know how I feel about taxes. But it's it feels so much like it feels so much like we're in the vote buying season. But when is it not vote buying but being responsive to your constituents. A lot of times it's
based on who whether you voted for the person or not. But I think we can do it on an honest analysis of this and also try to game plan out maybe some some scenarios that could unfold if that was to be something that passed. So we'll share with you what he said and we'll talk about it coming up here on the CaCO Day Radio program. CaCO Day Radio program. Let's talk tips, shall we know, Not gardening tips or shooting tips
or anything like that. I'm talking cash money, the tips that many, many, many many workers rely on, either as in some cases, the primary source of income or at the very least a significant portion of it, and how taxing works on that. So already it's a little loosey goose, right if you look at it purely from a taxman perspective and getting everything you owed, then you, you know, you you realize that probably not all the tips are ending up on the old tax form. And you know what,
I encourage it. I do one of the things that I make a point to do, and I am about ninety nine percent successful. Sometimes it's just you can't do it. I always like to have cash on me. I'm I always find it wildly. I have friends who never have cash on them. They got you know, they got a host their credit cards. They're not poor, and they may occasionally have a little something on them. But and it's not because they're alligator armed kind of guys either. They just
never carry cash. And but you gotta have smaller stuff. So I just let just reach in my pocket here with some uh what we got just in the random pants pocket this morning, let's say twenty, and like I have like eight five dollar bills in a twenty just in my pocket. This I'm not bragging. I'm not bragging because if I go out to eat and I can, I'll I like to leave a cash tip for my server or bartender,
whoever it is. And I'm not telling them, Hey, just throw that in your pocket, dude, But I kind of am make it easy. Plus, you know, I don't know how fast tips get turned around. And I i've worked in a tipping environment before, but I did. I did the pizza delivery thing when I was in college. And I did work at a restaurant I in Buffalo, Wyoming one summer just as kind of a secondary little gig, picking up some shifts there. And I liked having
those tips. Man, thought that was great. You know, I work a few hours. You're not me. You're not you know, you're not killing it. But if I got twenty five bucks or whatever and tips going out with my buddies that night, So like, I get it. So what Trump was talking about in Vegas yesterday was the taxes on those and specifically telling the nearly seven thousand in attendance that And I had never heard this proposal. He wants to end taxes on tips. Go into the home stretch a
thirty five CaCO day radio program. Just quick little housekeeping thing. We have the Lieutenant governor this week. Normally we would have had him last week, but I had the plague, so we'll be chatting with him on Wednesday. So you got that, all right? Let me get back to Trump and the tip thing. Where is what is the dividing line between blatant vote buying or putting policies out and saying, hey, this is how I think we should do this. If you agree, you vote for me. That's you
know, that's a point of debate. I'll give you two examples. The student loan stuff that threw people into a tizzy. Why should I if I didn't take student loans, pay for people with student loans, many of which have careers where they make more money than me. That's a perfectly logical objection on the part of a lot of folks who looked at the situation and said, I, you know, I'm not gonna be able to go to this four year school and study the fine art of uh, you know, the
the weavings of the baskets under the water or what was that? What was that degree that Columbia chick had, She had a bastards in it something something some sort of like I don't struggle poetry or say it was just ridiculous. So AnyWho, people looked at that and they went, this is this is out You're out there just buying votes. So Donald Trump says, hey, how about we don't tax tips? And you know me, uh as far as uh the id the government needs less tax money and less people and less
power and all of that. That's you know, my general driving philosophy on this stuff. But if you're still going to tax income, a lot of people I don't get any tips. Ross, do you get tips? So actually, technical Ross does get tips. I'm just thinking about this, and you get taxed when people come to your twitch thing right and do the little I don't even know what it be called if it's tipping, but I get
taxes are awful, man, and they're nightmare. You get like two, like ten eighty nine's from Twitch, and then you get a different one from stream Labs. And this will be the first year I get one from PayPal because they changed. They did the six hundred thing where if you get a right they start taxing that. Yeah. So and they are considered tips. Yes, okay, So I guess the question is is the right thing there to take one stream of income, one source of income and negate it.
And we look, we do things already differently, which is why we get into these insanely stupid and disingenuous capital gains versus standard income tax. That's you know, so Warren Buffing can come out and be like, I shouldn't pay more or less taxes than my nurse or whatever is exam second or terrier,
whatever, And the reality is he doesn't. He pays an ungodly sum of taxes because he makes a crap ton of money and when he realizes gains from investment, which is you, which by the way, is investment that's been made using money that had been taxed after being used as payment to him back in the day. So it's technically a second bite at the apple, there is a different rate. We already have a progressive income tax in the US, and in now in North Carolina, we don't anymore, right because they
they one sized it, but we did so already. If if you know, if I make five hundred thousand, by the way, I don't, I wish I did. If I make five hundred thousand a year, and Ross makes five thousand a year, his affective tax rate, mine a tax rate a different That's just how it is already within our system. So is that the way to go to eliminate that? Also, let me ask you this, how many now? If I want to, if I want to pay you a dude under the table, how about it is tip them.
I'm not paying I'm not paying the guy who came over and fixed my retaining wall. I'm tipping a dude who fixes retaining walls for hobby and sport and I'm just so inspired by what a great retaining wall fix it job he just did. I'm going to give you a tip, dude, And yes, it does happen to be basically what I would have paid last year to actually pay you to do it. But hey, it's I just wanted to tip you good job. I'm my household slide away, and then you run into
that situation. I don't know what the answer is, but I'm curious what you think. All right, Oh, here's a man who knows about tips from his strip club investigation days Boston, Paul, what's up? No, no, I'm an audio expert. Don't forget it, say it. I'm your audio expert. I believe in this non toxing that tipped people because I already make crap money as it is, and uh, you know, I'll tip, I'll tip, just borrow everybody who provides a service in cash,
always cash, because I'm a cash guy too. Look at you, Look at you. Finally getting it right, because well, some of these employee employeers will keep some of the tips. And then these you know, these tipped employees maybe making five bucks an hour or something, because they'll say, what, you're going to make tips? So yeah, we're not not very often. I would put a tip on a credit card because we're not going to get Yeah, no, I want I want him to have it.
And also it tips like a gift, man. I mean, I understand that it's it's it's it's basically perfunctory, uh with you know, like in a dining establishment. But if if I want to give the gallager's cup, I got I gotta go get my hair cut today, and you know, I'll probably throw a few bucks away. She does a good job. But that's you know, I don't always have the those those little delivering something to the house. I'll give the guy twenty bucks. It's not Pakfast, you
guys, twenty bucks ago get a cup of coffee. But and but I went to you know, buying votes. If it is for buying votes, who's got a better scheme then? I mean not there's a bunch of people with student loans, but how many people are in the tip industry. It's especially in Vegas. I mean, let's face it, he was Vegas is the place to announce that, right, It's a city that runs on tips, man, and it's novady. He can use the voats for this.
Yeah, I'll tell you what. I if I had to pick a state that could be the most incredibly different from twenty twenty, I think it's going to be Nevada. They're absolutely bipolar over there, man. So yeah, all right, well we'll see. You know what, Boston we should tip you for your calls. Man, Brod, you like that? Yeah, well hold on, hold on, let me get my let me get my pocket. Here see what I got for you? Oh oh, I just have this one finger? Sorry? Why do you have so many fives in
your pocket? He going to the strip because it's no so yesterday? No, so yes, no, because yesterday, yesterday I got me a delicious lunch and I paid with a I had one hundred dollars bill because somebody gave me a hundred because I know who wins basketball games, because I'm psychicked and so anyway, so I use that. And the guy at the register who had who had served me was he gave he gave me the crappiest look ever and then he could see where it donned on him. I wanted it for
tips, and then it was fine, Everything was fine. But he had to give me basically all of his five. So yeah, I have fine, But you're not going to the strip, jank with the thighs. What time do you want me to meet you? Where we go? Are you gonna go down the golf tournament and yell in Bostonian at people that'd help their game? No, No, I'm gonna stay away a minute, painting about to get into as it is. Yeah, oh yeah, because you got to go to work. I forgot all right, get out of here.
Yeah, he's so busy, so busy doing whatever the hell Boston Paul does all day. I like how he I like how he pretended like they're delivering tools to his house to do work and not beer. That was good cover too, sir. All right, eight forty four, let's get ray stage. You can hear hey, old weather channel. We got the Yeah, we got the we got the Open. I don't know if you've heard of this big, big tournament, tournament Thursday. Well, I mean that's yeah.
Do you know how golf works. I do. I just don't follow a lot of gul She thought they changed it up, like, I don't. What if we do Tuesday Friday? Why not? We could do that? But yeah, and hotter weather coming in just in time? Late No, ten years ago. Last time it was here was like one hundred degrees every day. I swear, if you do that to me again, I'm bringing sharks to your house. Whoa, uh, well, so maybe not
one hundred in terms of temperature. I don't know how close to one hundred it's going to feel and I think the hottest days this week are going to be later in the week. Uh, let's see Friday Saturday, load of mid nineties, so maybe ninety three to ninety five air temperature on those days, and it might feel a little warmer, maybe not quite a hundred. But the good news there is no rain and light winds, and until then are still going to be looking at temperatures that are comfortable. The next few
days. Now seeing the clouds start to clear out in the mountains and into the triad that clearing is coming east, will continue to see clearing sky today, a little mid eighties, same thing tomorrow, overnight lows in the sixties, and then we'll start to heat up Wednesday mid the upper eighties and then near or above ninety between ninety and ninety five Thursday and Friday, probably Saturday two is a big ridge kind of digs in the southeastern US, and even
Sunday at are just above probably ninety degrees. So it's one days. Man, I'm gonna get warm. I'm gonna get humid too, toward late week, just in time for out of the open. All right, Well, you know what are their shade by where they sell the beer. So then you have like big aunting thing if they do that. Now, if there wasn't shade, would that keep you away? Well, I have the press pudential, so the I got pressed and I don't even know what those are.
Don't even know what those are. Never in my life have I ever? Dude, it's wild. So they have like this big circus tent and the radio and print in the middle, but on the edge around it are all the different TV setups right for Golf Channel, for Fox Sports, but they have like the Asian Golf Show out of Japan or whatever. You ever see an Asian TV? How crazy it is? No, Like you just be standing, they'll be They were interviewing a golfer and a dude in a
purple octopus suit just runs out. It's just like, hey, how about some tentical stuff. Yeah, well so, and I'm just sit there watching it. I'm like, this is amazing. You guys are insane over there. So I've got some advice for you. Okay, drink more beer, drink more beer. That I will work on it. I'll work on it, all right, thank you, sir? All right? Yeah, yeah, and then we'll come back to youat with Jeff Bellinger. Next hang on
Good Morning, Casey Stock's pulled back, and Friday's trading. After the Labor Department reported that job creation was much stronger than expected in May. Losses for the major averages ranged from a tenth to a quarter of a percent. We get the Conference Board's Employment Trends index after the markets opened this morning. It could offer some clues to the pace of hiring in the months ahead. At the moment, the futures are modestly lower now futures down fifty seven points.
The Federal Reserve's policy meeting and new readings on inflation highlight the economic calendar for this week. Both events will happen on Wednesday, and the analysts say we could see some volatility on Wall Street ahead of those events. A Microsoft took the wraps off some new video games and new consoles to play them on at its Summer Fest event. Over the weekend, the software giants Xbox division announced
plans for new entries in the Doom in Years of War franchises. Rising home prices and high mortgage rates make it hard to become a homeowner, and inflation has caused the cost of being a homeowner to soar. Bank Rate reports the
cost of owning a home has increased twenty six percent since twenty twenty. Taxes, insurance premiums, and utilities have all risen, and the average annual cost of owning and maintaining a typical single family home is more than eighteen thousand dollars on top of mortgage payments and Casey, the softening in the labor market has shifted the balance of power back to employers. Workers are less confident about their ability to find new jobs, so the number of people voluntarily quitting their jobs
as close to a three year low. Fewer people quitting means fewer are getting promotions. The chief economist at Glassdoor says it's especially hard now for entry level workers to move up. Casey, what you want to do on the home thing, Jeff, is squat. It's much cheaper. Okay, just do nothing, Okay, yeah, to find a house be like mine now. And then I've seen up at the following that story in New York. Yes,
oh my gosh, so that guy's saving bucks right there. So all right, so there you go. That's my pro tip for you, Jeff, have a good one. Okay, Well, thank you for that. You have a good day. Look at that save Jeff a bunch of money and maybe you yeah, you just got a squad that I would try it at homes in Johnston County. Let me know how, the guy you go first, go ahead? You know how that goes? All right? To the phones. On the tipping issue, let's start with Chris, what's up,
Chris? Hey, good morning, Casey. So tips to ensure prompt service, and I always tip fifty to eighty percent of the bill, and the people really appreciate it, and it almost ensures me like a spot, like they remember me when I come back and I get just such great service from tipping really well. But I don't believe Trump's actually trying to buy votes like the Democrats do. The Democrats like to really buy votes. He's just trying to relieve an oppression from people, is what I see. I should
tax as oppressive. You know, people too much money are oppressed. So some of the some people think student loans because you have the right to well, you haven't know. Because I've gotten a student loan and I had to pay it back and I chose to get the loan. We don't choose to get taxed. They just take our money. It's not like we're paying taxes.
That's and this is why I'm conflicted on it. This is why I'm conflicted on it because it feels like this, But also I understand saying I, you know, maybe we shouldn't do this, but also maybe you shouldn't tax radio guys so much. I was just thinking that, so we shouldn't tax anybody. We should feel free, but mostly not radio gas people, mostly not radio guys radio. Real quick? This person you tip eighty percent? What time is she on stage? She's not on stage, mostly bartenders
and waitress. I don't go to script clubs because who brought up a strip club? Sir? I didn't bring out strip you did? All right? Get out of your perv? Ross? Did I say strip club? I didn't say no?
