Thursday-11-30-2023

All right, good morning and welcome. It is six oh eight Thursday, Rossbord, damn near to two weeks buddy, oh man, so clow you can taste it right? Oh dude, I was thinking that last night. Dude, I can't wait do this show, do tomorrow show and then two weeks? Ah what Yeah, we're oping somebody's did send me an email. A few day I forgot to tell you that somebody sent me an email and it was like, you know, it's you guys talking about taking time off

on the radio. Yeah, trillly in poor taste? Is it you sure about that? Because how you taste delicious? Why don't you take time off? Sir? Sounds like you need it, so yeah. Anyway, Oh we're to start. Where to start? Where to start? You're not original with your rest in p word hashtag, you know that, right? The absolute mind loss that transpired yesterday following the death that at one hundred of Henry Kissinger, every moon bat you can imagine had to put up their little hot

takes on that. And that's fine. Look, you don't have to like Henry Kissinger. You know how I generally feel about everybody in Washington and Kissinger from a the power has gone to their heads. Standpoint, man, he was living right in the in peak times at least within our current era. And uh like this dude was Secretary of State two different presidents. But also he was at the same time for Nixon, he was National Security Advisor. He was betting all of the top ladies of the time. Did you know

this about Henry Kissinger? By the way, what an absolute ladies man he was. So he was he was like on par with like Ben Franklin right where it wasn't somebody that traditionally you would think was like would get the ladies right right right, yeah. And he said in an interview he said power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. He's probably not wrong there, but it was who's who? He had a bond girl he dated like he had Cannas Diane Sawyer. Did you not know? Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

Oh. The list goes on. Hold on, I gotta I saw a list yester. Let me call this bad boy up. Oh I'm sorry. Now the website's top story is what these jackasses did the Christmas treat. We'll get into that, don't worry. Henry Kissinger once called Washington's greatest Swinger. I don't think they mean it quite like that, but who knows. All Right, here we go, Candice Bergen, Shirley McClain, Jill Saint John, that's the Bond girl, uh Marlow, Thomas liv Oldman, Samantha

Anger, Diane Sawyer. I mean, this list is crazy. And it's not like no offense because I'm no prize. It's not like he was robustly good looking back in the day. He always kind of looked like Henry Kissinger. So to his point, yeah, earning the title in nineteen seventy one as quote Washington's top swinger, and then eventually he got me. He had been married and then he and then he was divorced, and then he went through his ho phase and can we use that term? I guess okay,

and then eventually he married the woman that is now his widow. So, but also there's a lot more going on there, right, And if you here's the deal, if you don't like Henry Kissinger, then be able to enunciate why, and don't just go he's a murderer. I got news for you. Basically, Basically, anyone who sits either in that highest office or is among the most important of their staff members and cabinet appointees are probably murderers

in the sense that they've been involved in operations to kill people. You realize that, right, Wait do you get to hear Wait till you hear what George Washington did. It's crazy, so anyway, but you know, be able to enunciate it. What it comes down to is, when I've seen people have actual adult discussions about this, they're beef with Kissinger. Although I don't think I don't feel that they I don't feel that they enunciate it correctly.

But I'll explain to you what it is Kissinger's mindset for what the Secretary of State, and I don't just mean the individual in that job, but what the office in and of itself should be. That is it's called what is the trying to harken back to the time I paid attention in class? Was it real political? Real politic? I believe is the term? All right, So if you don't know, let me explain. Let me explain

to you how that works. Basically, the philosophy of Kissinger within that office and really his philosophy for really what the government should do from a from a strategic standpoint is he did not believe the Office was for grand sweeping social change, save the world, right, and and you know, obviously you go, well, come on, I mean Vietnam, right. He was absolutely involved in that. We have Pentagon papers and stuff like that, but in

reality, his big thing was working with China. There's policy within Latin America obviously that people have beef with, but he didn't feel that the office required it to be grand sweeping change. His thing was behind the scenes, let's work out practical stuff. And practical stuff is things like you don't throw a nuke at me, I don't throw a newke at you, and let's figure

out what to do. And by the way, not that it's apparently been a success, but he was also the first individual who was heavily involved in trying to keep things from turning into the dumpster fire that it is in the Middle East. And if you don't like that, that's fine, but be able to enunciate that rather than making a video. I saw some comedian and he's holding his infant daughter, screaming obscenities and trying at her to say some of the words. It's just it's just so damn creepy man. Did you

see the ruling Stone headline. I have not seen all of them, but I'm sure it goes right along with this NBC and others. Yes, Henry Kissinger war criminal, I'm good, beloved by America's ruling class. Finally dies. Right, Okay, you know what, let me say that he might be a war criminal. He might be a war criminal, remember, and you could. There's lots of examples of this. About the problem is is the technicalities that we use, like people throw war criminal around. I'm not

defending it. By the way, again, Kissinger likely if he was in power, would have been just as annoying to me as everybody else, because the one thing that he embraced that I didn't like is this I control everything. I'm from the government, and I'm so powerful, I'll do whatever I damn well please. There was a lot of that attitude there, and some people thought it was a benefit, but I think it's problematic in Washington.

And if you want to start throwing war criminal stuff around, Barack Obama greased a kid and his dad American citizens with a missile in Yemen with a drone missile without due process. All right, now, is that a war criminal in the general sense, I mean kind of. But is it something that is we would think of as criminal from a US legal standpoint. Yes, And I'm not here to do that. I'm just pointing out that if you have a beef with somebody and you're glad they're dead, be able to announciate

why it's just crazy. Man. Look, I think Joe Biden would have liked him, probably probably did. I'll bet what you're not going to see, and I'm sure they exist, is hundreds of photos of Joe Biden, who's been in Washington that long, sitting there with his arm around Kissinger. Because Kissinger wasn't just buddy buddy with Nixon or you know, or people within

that administration. He was He was the swamp personified. And so all of these cats in Washington love him because he was a very powerful person, and that includes Joe. I did see a couple photos of them, like Schmuzen at a at a party, and I understand. Look, you go to these things, it doesn't mean you're necessarily friends with them. But this is the standard by which we've decided to decide whether somebody is guilty of associating with

the wrong person. Right, if you appear in a photo like let's say you're at an event and Jeffrey Epstein walks into the back of the photo where Trump is, how many times did you see idiots throwing that online? You know, like they were they were they were roomies or something. So and also Joe Biden would like him, because I think Joe Biden loves the power. Did you hear what he said yesterday? Good lord man? Hey, Nick, this is an I look my my marine cards out. It has

a crows to blow up the world that is not ruclear weapons. All right, okay, so, uh, you know, and obviously I'm sure you know the president travels with a wide variety of people, one of which is a member of the armed forces in charge of carrying around the football, as they say. But it's just a really weird way to put that. By the way, it's not the only insane and cut her Byden related cut but I just felt it fit really well right here. So and luckily I don't

know that Biden will be able to remember that code. So there's that, all right, six nineteen hang on one six one FM Talks and PTI two stations driving the best end Talk this is Casey Oday and Carolina's Morning News. I'm sure it's probably longer and more complex than that, and that the end of the World Code is not ross one hundred Okay, I mean not everything's about you, man, what's that? I mean, I've got my sources.

How horrible that would be, right? I mean, I guess you wouldn't be around to sharing the shame, but I don't think I would want my name associated with blow in the world the smotherings. Man. It is

a power move though, So there is that. Let me ask this email because somebody point, Look, it's absurd to imply that the most powerful person in the world, the president of the United excuse me and others, aren't affecting largedale social change and that the policy and the practices have been different for

presidents since George Washington. No, it is. Do you really think that the office of the president, the priorities of the president, and the level of influence at the federal government attempts to exert across all fifty states is not different from our first ten presidents versus our last ten. Hell yeah, it is government back in the day. If you want to know who was president after election you'd have to wait a few months. Depending on where you live,

you'd have to wait. We have journals. We have family journals from my great it would be great great grandpa John and Amy Coomer, right, and so we have we have actual journals from John, my great great grandfather, just talking about stuff. Do you know how long it took things to get out to Wyoming from a news standpoint in the eighteen seventies, It took

a while. And so the influence of the federal government wasn't something that really stalked the day to day life of you know, eighteen seventies era homesteaders. It just wasn't. It doesn't mean that there weren't policies that were impactful. Obviously at that time. You know, you got a little Civil War thing coming out of that, coming through that, But you know, was that

was obviously a big thing. But arguably that also was a president more thoroughly flexing their power if you watch the way in which Lincoln went about doing it. But don't sit here and give me that the Barack Obama wanting his wife to control what your kids eat at school is the same level of power flex that somebody was dealing with in day to day you know, Raleigh or Wilmington right in eighteen fifty Okay, so and legacy building the example of that and

using political influence and diplomatic influence to do it. A good example of that would be things like the Paris Climate Accord right where we have the audacity to send diplomats to go sit around with a bunch of other diplomats so that they can dictate to us how we do things, which is ironic considering we are the most successful country ever. So no offense to the you know, the the tie foreign minister or others who are on this thing. But I don't

care what you think, dude. I'm happy to take suggestions and be friendly. But at the end of the day, I feel like we need to do best for us, what's best for us. This is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and he's talking ninety four to five w PTI and the Triad. Alrighty, welcome back. It is six thirty five. What a catch this chick is. Yes, she's not a Florida man, she's a Florida Well maybe she is Florida man. Florida man is something in

the Wanderty errors hand that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is one to be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the weird Factor climbs if you find out it happened in Florida every time Florida Man, Florida man. If anyone can jeer me of you know, you can just mind life, be crazy. But of course, but it's not a bad crap crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it they don't mind

him. Hooray for Florida man. You're ready for this headline. I know it's early, but I don't want one of you to advertently run in and start run into and start dating this woman. Florida woman allegedly stab boyfriend and I with rabies needles for looking at other women. Seems reasonable. Also, what's a rabies needle? Is that something you give your dog so it does he get rabies? Or is it? Is it needles DIPTD rabies. I'm gonna be honest, I did the same question. I mean, yeah,

not that one, not that the one. If it's like, ah, it's preventing rabies, not that that's a pass, you know what I'm saying, Or she's just like I wasn't Matt. I just didn't want him to get rabies, like you stabbed him in the eyeball, which is I'm I'm pretty sure is not where they administer rabies needles. I remember back in the day, they used to give you a shots in your stomach, or that's

how it was described. I never actually had it, but so I hope it's the first one, because you'd have to go out of your way to get you know, rabies tipped needles, right, you have for you have to go find a rabbit dog. You got to get close to that bastard. And I don't know if you know this, animals with rabies don't really

dig you getting close to them. So like it would have been almost more impressive in that sense because she had to hunt down what was essentially a you know, a wolf at that point and somehow get her needles tipped with it to then go and stab her boyfriend in the eyeball. I love this part of the story. So it says she stabbed him with the needles before leaving

their home. When she quote realized what she had done, what You've never inadvertently stabbed somebody in the eyeball with a needle and the only later realized what you had done. I mean, yeah, once, but like not repeated, Okay, so repeatedly that it stands out, So you learned your lesson. Oh I'm not gonna do that again. That's a good point. There's other parts of this story to love, too, so I'm not gonna leave a moment out. The forty four year old charged with aggravated battery. Police

responded to a hospital following a report of a man. I'm sorry, I shouldn't like by the way, just thinking about a needle going into the eyeball. Oh, man, that just gives you the willies, doesn't it. Officers responded to report of a man who stabbed in the eye with the new So this dude came in looking like hell Raiser up front? Yeah what or what was it? No? What's the guy's name from? A pinhead?

Right? Pinhead from hell Raised? So this guy was like low rent pinhead from hell Raiser because only on the front and he strode to the hospital like that. God help those of you work in the yard, hartment man. Between this and the chick who came in with the phone melting in her in her fat rolls. That's stunk, right, I don't want any part of that. The victim told police that Jimenez Assandra Jmenez is her name, used the dog's rabies needles to pierce his eye his right eye during an argument about

him quote looking at other women. Jimenez allegedly jumped on her boyfriend of eight years while I was lying on the couch and stabbed them with the needles before leaving their home. When she realized what she had done. Yes, but wait, there's more, the victim called nine one one and was rushed to the hospital. Here we go. Police later found Jimenez sleeping in her car outside the home and arrested her. She claimed that her boyfriend's injuries were self

inflicted. What what, yeah, as you do? Like, but I don't even understand what the lie is? Right? Is is it? Is it like he was depressed or he has an eye needle fetish? I mean, what was the No, he accidentally fell over on the needles. Oh no, well at least he fell forward, because you know what happens if

you fall backwards? Light bulbs straight in your butt? Oh man, okay, well hold on here now, I feel like whether we have an informal poll, ross, would you rather fall backwards have a light bulb, you know, possibly break in there or fall forwards? Rabies needle in the eye. Man, this is this is a no win situation. I didn't say there was witting to be had here. This is my kobe shi ma roo. Yeah, I'm saying I would have to sit down. It's about the

eye with the eyeball. Wow, so you just boom, here's your new My butt has more thickness so it won't hurt as bad, but your eyeball is that's what it is. If it breaks, it will Well. Hey, man, if if I have to choose, if this is your jigsaw moment, yeah, well, hey, do you want to get out of the pit or whatever it is? Keys in your belly have fun? Oh yeah, I don't know, man, I mean, it wasn't both eyes. Now on the other side, if you could convince me the light bulb

would stay intact, it's a it's a toughie. So uh. Anyway, she's at the she's in custody. I know you're shot. Her bond is seven. She got a bond of seventy five hundred dollars for stabbing a due in the eye with rabies needles. That woman's a menace man. And finally, are you ready for this? Not trying to be a jerk here, but it is abundantly clear the hot crazy matrix did not hold up here because you would agree that's unicorn level crazy, right, that's up there with uh.

And they always lay in wait to do it. Women are very very plotting, right, because because it said she waited for him to lay down the couch before she went old needle in the eyeball. You know, Loraina Bobbin did her thing. Remember the chick who she She waited till the guy went to see it was only a pullout couch in the living room next to the kitchen. He went to sleep, she like handcuffed him or tethered him. Then she Lorena bobbitted him, and then while he's watching, she took

her capture and threw it in the garbage disposal in front of him. That's diabolical because there's obviously there's the fear that comes with waking up and you can't move. There's the horrific you know, inability to stop as you watch that

happened to you with some scissors, I believe is what she used. And then when you have that little speck of hope right where you're like, I remember this having that guy and if they got to the hospital in time, they were able to save it. She takes that little bit of hope, the last thing keeping you going, and then flips that noisy switch on the wall and tosses that bad boy in there, and you are now having it while you bleed out. You're now having to realize that you will never be

whole again. So she's up there, are you ever? At nine and a half? But on the other part, remember it's the hot crazy matrix. It didn't hold because the whole point of that was, you know, the hotter they are, the crazier they are, and if they're super hot and not crazy, that's a dude, I believe, is what they arrived down. So there you go. No matter what happens at your house today, maybe you and the spouse you get into a little argument over something.

It happens. It's part of being an adult, being in a relationship. You work through it. However, you work through it and nobody gets stabbed in the eyeball with a Rabi's needle. So count yourself lucky six forty five. Hang on, which one is I'm trying to remember the sex and the city checks which one is Cynthia Nixon? I think that's Blanche, So Blanche. It's not tooty, is it Mona? No, it's tooty right,

yeah? Okay, so the Redhead oh my, anyway, the fifty seven year old actress who began a five day hunger strike to shame the Biden administration into ending the Israeli Palestinian conflict, which obviously they could do with the flip of a switch. Ha is over after a little less than two days. Yes, what had been promised as a week long hunger strike reportedly lasted just two days. Is that even a hunger strike? Or is that bad meal

planning? Remember back of the day when you're poor and you're just trying to figure stuff out or your go go go or your energy and you're like and you realize you hadn't eaten like all of yesterday, like dawns upon you. So that should that change the course of Middy's politics? Also, don't promise you're gonna do it for a certain amount of days and then give up, leave it open ended. So she didn't make it. She didn't even make

it halfway anyway, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Uh we do. We're gonna have to get into this, this search horn that came out about the the uh Trump's Twitter account. I

would argue that this stuff sounds worse. This sounds more odorous than uh, onerous than the Remember the NS. Remember the nsa spying scandal right where they were capturing metadata, especially metadata that surrounded phone that took place both in and outside, So somebody inside the US somebody outside, and they oh, it's a loophole. But then they figured out they were getting metadata for a lot of other stuff too. This sounds worse. I'm sorry, this sounds worse.

DOJ Special counseled Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for what the AP reported. This is back in August. What the AP reported was records related to former President Trump's Twitter account. I remember that story, you know, just another and a long line of Hey, we're gonna do this, and then the media could then take whatever the situation was and cobble together, you know, whatever they felt that the crime was, and then they could just report

as though, yeah, that's exactly what happened. But according to the now unsealed document, they were looking for so much more than just hey, what when did Trump log in? When did he send these particular tweets? Even though it's frigging labeled on the tweet and this document's even redacted, I would like to point out, all right, so what's the part in this that

is awful? Because what the DOJ actually collected data on was all data surrounding Trump's account, and that included anyone who liked a Trump tweet, retweeted a Trump tweet. And by the way, keep in mind that retweetment retweets are not endorsements, right, how many times have you seen that a lot of people retweeted it out of horror, like oh my gosh, look at what this cheeto said, or you know whatever, whatever horrible thing they wanted to

write. And and that's fine, and you know, do whatever you're going to do. First Amendment baby, But now you yourself, you were part, you're part of the FBI sweep. I hope you know that the the over broad nature of this warrant shows you how little checks and balances that Biden and the Special Council and all of the rest who are on the get Trump bandwagon, the judges, the district attorneys. It shows you how little oversights

being provided there. It shows you again the problems that you have with FISA courts or in this case, kind of a quasi PHISI court, but a court that has a certain level of secretness it's allowed to operate with. It shows you everything that's wrong because it's just rubber stamp. You saw all of the abuses with the PHISA courts, from the surveillance apparatus surrounding men of Trump's

campaign. This is a known thing, and yet every single time this comes up for reapproval, all of these jackasses vote for it, including most of the Republicans. And now, because you may have liked or retweeted a Trump tweet and I saw people saying this or like wow, KC. Anyone who likes a tweet or retweets it is listed right there on Twitter. What's the

big to do? Now they are kind of their account is this is the identifiable information that was provided in those accounts, so it's not just the account name. And then they when they liked or retweet it, it's any other information that they have over at Twitter. And actually the lawsuit on this goes

back. This goes back to pre Elon Musk should point that out when this when this all started, and the documents, the initial documents were turned over, although to his credit, Jack Dorsey initially wouldn't turn him over and they ended up finding finding the company. But yeah, the whole thing is Orwellian. And I guess my question is what are we going to do about it? Where are the where are the Republican officials going to do something about this?

Because I don't believe you are, because I believe you love to do this to your political enemies too, and I think there's some people that would like that because they feel like they're getting back, they're getting even. But man, every time I see one of these, I'm just just blooded. Again to be very clear here, so it doesn't accuse me of inciting violence,

and I'm inciting worldwide floods. So get your gopher, would get ready, Man, we screwed the pooch, all right, seven o'clock hanging on back in just a few man, his video keeps popping up, and I realized we hadn't we didn't mention it the other day, so let me just throw it out there so at least have some contexts. So last week an

event was going on in Moscow called the World Tour of Artificial Intelligence. I'm assuming in Russia they're just looking at murder bought options, but you know whatever, And old Vladimir decided he was going to make an appearance there. Okay, I mean, I guess obviously there's all sorts of applications there. It was kind of a big event. Russia's trying to promote their own AI stuff or partnerships with some others, including Google by the way, and handful of

other companies. And it's because obviously Google, like any of the big big tech companies, they want to make sure that they're in all of the markets. However, Putin took it in a slightly different direction. According to a video posted where Putin is is being it's been explained to him AI analysis. All of a sudden, it turns into this weird thing when reporters get around

there, because Vladimir is using the AI analysis from Google. From Google, so this is Google's AI bot which Putin used to analyze whether we landed on the moon or not, and the AI told him we didn't, or at the very least told him that the video and photographic evidence is a big deep fake. So Putin decided that that was funny and he went for it. And you have you have to understand some about Russian culture and the moon landing to this day, and I shouldn't say it to this day. I think

it was probably a year ago, so maybe things have changed. But even in like two years ago, half of Russians thought the US faked the moon landing. Half and the number was exponentially higher for years and years and years, especially where it was near uniformly accepted under the former USSR and for obvious reasons, that's what they would teach the Russian kids. That's what they would tell the Russian people. We were in a space race. And propaganda is

a very very valuable tool. And so if you sit there and you tell them all you know, the Americans didn't, they're lying to a bunch of bs. And you make it part of the curriculum, as the Russians did. Sure, a bunch of people are gonna end up thinking that we have people in this country who think that, Yeah, I guess you could think whatever you want. But the part where Putin set up to obviously set this whole thing up to sit there and you know, take a shot at the

US. But to use Google's own AI to do it. I mean, that's it's devilish. But yeah, guy's a lunatic. So what do you want? Man? Now? Should he have to fight buzz Aldren? And do you think buzz Aldren could beat Vladimir Putin and vice versa? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not gonna go in their prime, but let's go. Let's go Buzz and Putin at the age when Buzz punched that

reporter. I could probably beat Putin on the moon. So on the moon to fight with some the moon, probably around Lake Armstrong somewhere around there. Why would I? I don't why? Why would he have an advantage just because he's felt the gravity of it or he's been there? Apparently? Yeah, thank you Google A, I appreciate you weighing in on this. All right, So there's this, How do you know that Putin hasn't? Dude, If somebody's got a secret murder base up there, it's either the Chinese

or Putin. Who else would it be Jeff Bezos, maybe the Google A I like, I don't know if you mentioned it. He did it, did you know? Checked out the Chinese photos, so they're lunar landing in right, It's like, hey, these are legit, but the American ones, right, sixties are false, super legit. The video went widespread on the Internet, showing Putin's reaction when he questions the authenticity of the Apollo eleven

images. Let's see then you hear him explaining the neural network allegedly considered all right, so they did its analysis and the feedback from the Google AI quote alleges almost everything in the photographs of the US landing are fake. And then he's just sitting around smiling, thinking that's great. Again we were in a space race, and I understand the propaganda side, but bro, you gotta let it go. Yeah, you got to get over it. You got

to move on. I'm sorry your dog imploded or six times or whatever. Wasn't the same dog, So don't worry that others. And you know, there's pretty good evidence, if you want to get into space conspiracies, that there are, because there were rocket launches where it wasn't some public Garrett Gerrigan or whatever his name is, whoever the first dude was in like that stuff

that was the known commoditie. There were others where like they're like, oh, we were testing a booster rocket and are like our own intelligence was like, now you clearly weren't you clearly set somebody into space and then obviously everything blew to smitherings. And I saw a it's a little investigative documentary on that one time, and they were because there were some photos that emerged of what happened to a couple of cats that went up for the Russians and came back

as mummy sickles, and Russia's just like pretended it never happened. And I even talked to one of the family members like yeah, I think they told us our our relative ran away, you know, like it's like it's your irritated cat or something. What happened to Fluffy? I went to a farm in Siberia. Oh oh no, why you know how cold? It is? Much room to run around, dude, I mean there is that. Then there's the white walkers, so you gotta watch out for them. But

plus occasionally a giant meteoriti hit it looking at you tongue Guska. There have been to tongue guska in the spring. The way the trees are just flat and brown against the earth and the giant craters. It's amazing. Everybody loves it. Can't get enough bucket lists that everyone. So excuse excuse me if I just do nothing but laugh at that story, because that's all you can do. And it's also all you can do when you turn on MSNBC and you watch Morning Joe, the narrative on it. It's not new, but

it's delusional, absolutely. And if, by the way, if this little mint, little nugget of delusion I'm gonna playing for you ain't enough to wet your delusion whistle. Just know that when we tweet the link out to the story, there's like a ten minute was nine it's nine minutes nine minute video, right, So the story's on twitchy, but the actual article is on the MSNBC with the videos. Click a link to get to the link. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Once you get there, it's a nine to

ten minute video. It's a panel on Morning Joe about Hunter Biden. Oh that I and the point the part was trying to get to I was not aware of this until the end is at the very end, see what to sit through these people? And they are delusional a different planet, but I mean more so than you. You know that in the back of your head. You're like, yeah, I know that, but when you actually have to sit there and slog through the ten minutes, Oh dude, I don't

know what is up with these people. I would I. I don't feel bad for Joe because you put himself in this predicament, but I can only imagine waking up to her and and you know, and also waking up to him. I'm sure for you know the thing, they're different from other morning shows too, and we can relate to this, but they're different from other morning shows you see on TV because they tend to look like they're put together and they've been up for a while. Who what does that mean? These

two look like and I'm specifically talking about television. Oh yeah, these two look like they just rolled out of bed, skip the shower and just got out of their pajamas and changed like two seconds before eartime. And they both if they were just mute, you're just looking at them, staring at they look miserable. Yeah, and then they go home together and they're more miserable. And I'm sure Joe gets his guitar out right, because you remember,

he's a rock artiste. So they're on this just a whole dietribe. They're reacting to the House Republicans unveiling a Biden impeachment inquiry website and the whole And by the way, kudos to comber in them for taking my suggestion. I'm sure I greatly influence this. Don't embrace the gamesmanship of this strategy where they want to do a deposition. They want to do a closed doors thing with

Hunter Biden first. And the strategy I get, which seems hail Mary at best, is Hunters should come out, which he did and say I'll testify, but only in public because there's a reason you do it in both capacities. And the reason you do it is because if you only do public,

can you only schedule the one thing? This is really important? And he comes in and sits down and then he goes fitth Amendment for like ninety percent of it doesn't answer some of the other stuff, and you don't extract anything if you try to go back to that well, and some of his answers had been precluded because you're talking about national security stuff. Then the media narrative

will be you already had your chance. Now you're just being mean, You're horrible, you can't do it. So it's important to establish that you're going to have an environment where you can ask questions that may have sensitive information attached to them, because part of the problem is the potential that sensitive information was extracted from documents that Joe Biden was in possession of and either behind his back or with his full blessing, I'll let you speculate that was then utilized to

pepper various reports and pitches on the part of Hunter Biden saying, look, look at what an expert I am on this, And if I wasn't an expert, how would I have these crazy stats and numbers and heavy research that is top secret and had been done by our intelligence agencies. Plus, if I know things that might be valuable to you, if you're kind of a shady international old business dude who wants to give me a bunch of money, might be good to know where people's heads are at over at the DOJ or

the FTC or some other regulatory body. And so reacting to that, we get this family knows or struggles with mental health challenges, or knows someone who has struggled and suffered as Hunter has and has done things that are against their core values. Every family is struggling in some way another thing. Voters are many of them parents. And when you go after Joe Biden's son, as you pointed out, the reason why was such a turnoff is because not only

was it his son, this his remaining son. He's not eight, He's not eight? What day? Hell are you? What do you mean going after he didn't chase an eight year old with his stick? Right? He didn't lambast a toddler? How old is Hunter Biden? What? Ten years older than me? And also do we all know a Hunter? I mean how closely? When you say Hunter, what do you mean? I mean? Do you mean? Hey, Ross, you ever had a friend who

likes to take naked pictures of himself? Get into crack arguments with hookers, blow a bunch of money from shady international sources used through influence peddling by his father, and then may or may not have some kind of weird, quasi creepy thing going on with a young relative, female relative. Right, you got a bunch of buddies like that back home. I mean, listen, I do have a buddy, well jeez, who has seen some stuff. Yeah we all that part, We all do, right, who might have

had a problem with drugs? You know? My DJ at a strip club. And the thing that's missing here is the power and influence of your father being vice president and now president. Oh the money in Ukraine and China and all the buddy's that buddy's dad is not the vice president, not that No, okay, is it his dad, believe it or not? Not president, not very president, not very president. No president. Oh okay.

The other thing where they're around and stuff. Yeah, and again, Hunter Biden's not eight now, dude, is the hell is he like fifty? Yeah, he's probably about ten years old or not. I don't know, but how long? But how long does that? Except? Okay, I believe you're attacking his kid. Everybody's somebody's kid. You realize that, right, everybody is somebody's kid. That's like, I can't believe they're attacking Fred Trump's kid. Ross you see what they're going after Fred Trump's kid? And

Fred Trump, I mean, bless us. He hasn't even commented on it. Well, that's he's been dead since the nineties. But yeah, so is that how it works? If your father's dead or your mother's dead, or your parent, I guess you can't find then it's okay. But if the parents are living or then you can't. They're acting like he's like, you know, it's like Sasha and Malia in the White House when they're like five and six or whatever. Yes. Absolutely, he's on the board of

Bisma or whatever. He's on the board of everything renascence man, and he still finds time to argue with hookers over crack me and painting is his passion, it is, and I hear he's selling something, so to me his point. Yeah, lots of us know people that have had problems with drugs. The issue is they're not the son of the president and they don't peddle that influence. Yeah, different, and they don't have all their crimes.

Typically when they do something right, there's a consequence to their action. Right. I've known people that are phone to rock bottom. The difference is he is constantly protected, so it's completely different. I tell you, well, you know this. I have a family member who was a whole thing for years man, and he did suffer a lot of consequences, and he was right on the cusp of it turning really, really big. And now most people fall into this trap. All they do is alienate their family and blow

all their money. So if that's what you mean, yes, but let's face it, you know that's not what she means. She is being wilfully ignorant to all of this. And then she had the end. I got to play one more time because it's oh wait, no, hold on, I got to take a break. We'll be right back. Hang on, all right, So thirty six here on the Cacoday radio program. How dumb are report orders? Man? How dumb do you have to be to include a line which I'm sure is just one of those like you're fill in time.

No, I'm trying to figure out why it's why that paragraph's even in there. It had to be an active she had to have actively wanted to write this. So basically, here's the beef. I don't know if you've seen this. Musk has kind of gone scorched earth a little. It's very interesting to watch, and understandably so over all this media matter stuff and other advertisers, and he's really adopted you know what. I would describe it as

the Dana White philosophy. The UFC guy right where I remember watching a quote with him or he was saying that back in the day, some advertiser. What was it. I think it was over the use of the N word or something by one of the black fighters. I don't remember the incident. It was so dumb. But oh no, that's no, there was use the N word. But also there was the trash talk where a fighter from South Africa or somewhere in Africa, but a white sow, a white African

dude, right, an afrikaaner or whatever. So he's fighting a dude, a black dude from the US, and he made some crack. The fighter made some crack during the way, and that he's more African. It's you know, it's stupid weigh in fight trash talk. And by the way, it's accurate. It's it's accurate in the sense of who is most immediately from the African continent. And then people went, wow, that's not what it

means because he's he's an invader from you know such and such play. Okay, well, at what point then, because I thought here once people were ingrained at least legally into society. Most people would consider them American. But that's a little controversy. Was and Dana White had an advertiser call him and be like, God, I need you to do something about him. He's like, no, how about how about screw you. You don't tell me how to run my stuff. Well, Elon Musk has gone in that direction.

So Mosk has ripped companies this week that are boycotting advertising on his social media platform. Don't even get me started on all of the media matters. Corruption in the way that they wrote is. But this woman in this story, this is is talking about how he's just basically telling advertisers, screw you,

don't want advertise, don't do it, which is true. He is saying that he asked about the boycott during an interview wednesday, quote you know, said of companies that were boycotting, quote, I hope they stop. Don't advertise. You don't want them to advertise? The host said no, said Musk. If somebody's gonna try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go blank yourself, go blank yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. And that is what we refer to as fu money.

Just the case a little unclear. But then there's this not it's not clear how the comments will sit with investors. He doesn't I guess he does have some co investors in Twitter. You realize that Twitter is not a public company right now. I'm assuming what they would say is, well, we're talking about, you know, with some of the other companies, right We're talking about Tesla and m But that's not what any of this is about.

And you're talking about comments that were specifically associated with one company that's not a publicly traded company. Y'all are dumb. I mean, not all of you. You're fine, but thos other people. Jamal, what's up? Hey, Jacy. I just wanted to say that this morning, but I heard Ross. He was talking about how bad Nika presents Caim morning, Joe. Look, okay, now I'm gonna have to date it back a few years for you. Casey, dude, you remember Batman star Michael Keaton, Jack

Nicholson, and Kim I think Kim, I forget her her name. Who played the girl. Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, It Kim Basinger, I think it was. Yeah, I'm talking about the first Batman with a joker with Jack Nicholson as a joker. I thought that was Pfiffer, Wasn't that? No, Pfiffer was the catwoman thing. Okay, yeah, you're a catwoman in two. Okay, Well that was a thing when when the joker was mixing chemicals and make smiley, and the reporters got it and they didn't

know they could. They stopped using deodorant, they stopped using makeup, they stopped using lotion, and they come on and you see them right, you know, know how this tempical. And that's one that I tagged y'all to this picture looking with Meca for this picture with those reporters, and how they look in that scene where they didn't use any makeup, any lotion, nothing.

They were just looking horrible because Ross was subscribing our Mecca and Joe was looking I'm like, Joe, if you're miserable, man, just say it. I think they make each other. I think they make each other perfectly miserable equally, and that's why they're such a great couple. Yes, Trump arrangement syndrome will really make you miserable, but if you but like I was saying, because like I said, IM gonna stay on topic. But if you look at that picture, you look at how those reports, how they

look. If you've seen the movie Batman and you've sing that scene, anybody who's seen that scene is laughed because they know exactly what I'm talking about. Because these people are crazy. You cannot take up for a fifty five year old blown man. That's a speechish sweet away, be a mistake. He's smoking crack and with underage girls, a sniper, cocaine or BBW. But

let me just let me just be abundantly clear. If his only crime, so to speak, or problems where he is drug addled and he's a giant, you know it's a giant liability because you know he's constantly trying to hit his family up for money so he can continue the addiction, that would be incredibly relatable. It's for all the other things that like Ross mentioned that I

mentioned where it's it's how it's impacting things that are not Hunter Biden. Even somebody sent me an email they said he slept with his dead brother's wife. Is that arguably that's better than his life brother's wife, isn't it? You know what, Casey, I have to disagree with you. Everybody ain't got crackheads in the family. I'm sorry, everybody ain't got no crackhead in the family. This to some of us are like white head black. We like, oh no, bro, we don't got cracked kids in the family.

Pigre for money because you know what that goes to show you. And let's not talk about his sister holding the lesson bout it. Oh dad, you know, okay, I'm gonna say take so nobody get in trouble. See Damon called in case she didn't correct them, I'm gonna correct myself. It's just a diary, West said Joe Biden toil naked showers with his daughter, and she knew it was inappropriate. Thirteen. That's all the stuff. But again, but again you're missing But I think you're missing my point here.

If it was as simple as hunter Biden has himself a drug addiction, you still have to deal with the potential for common promising issue right because of whose kid he is. But that's not That's not where most people's I or lies. It's how it then impacted potentially the job that his father was doing. And you know, and of course you know the allegations of using that influence and actually wielding that influence within decisions that were made. So I mean,

that's that's the part where they're just randomly ignoring. And yes, I understand that not all crackheads are created equal, but he's also not the first. He's also not the first relative of a powerful person to to be a drug addict. And in fact, sometimes it is that the reason that their drug addict is probably largely due to the who their who their parent is. So all right, I gotta I gotta roll them all, but thank you very much for the call. Okay, all right, but not all crackheads are

equal. You're telling me if you've known two people that have dealt with drug addiction, that you could there weren't differences there. Think about functional alcoholics versus the dude from Chappelle's show, Right, doesn't mean they're not both dealing with issues. However, they tend to present a little different although sometimes they don't when they're in the throes of it. Man, so we get Florida Man's stories seven forty six Ray Stagic from the Weather Channel. He's not from Florida,

so he's safe. He's not in Florida. Anywhere are you from Florida? Uh? No? Oh okay, good, No, I want should have freaked out. Some lady got mad at her boyfriend for staring at other women, so she stabbed him in the eye with a rabies needle. Oh wow, come to Florida. Yeah, it's gracious. Next time I'll go to florida'll be sure to duck. I'm just saying, man, and the hot crazy matrix didn't hold up. She is hideous. Yeah, but at least he doesn't have to look at her now, so exactly. Yeah,

it's good. So what's up? Man? Man, I'm excited for tonight. Excited. No, you know what, I've got to be honest with you. Less. My cousin reminded me, I forgot all about it. Oh yeah, I listen. This is what happens to almost like bills fans. You know, after years and years dragging ross in your misery, keep dragging that poor guy yed. Well, I don't want to drag you into

it. I mean, you just I mean we just know. But it's I just I don't know it. It's almost like I don't look forward to it anymore when you know what the result is going to be at the end, meaning you know, maybe win the first round. You're so egotistical so you don't even look forward to it because you just know you're going to beat

the Seahawks. Can I remind you of the card? No no, no, no, no, no no no no. I'm the end of the season because I know it's maybe win first round playoff game and then get destroyed by who's ever left. And I'm saying maybe when first as predicted, He's basically this is very similar to his prediction yesterday for his team. The Bills

are gonna do the most Bills thing possible. They're gonna run the table, they're gonna get to the super Bowl, and they're gonna lose it in the final two minutes after going ahead with two minutes left, and it'll be for the dumbest, dumbest possibly yes, right, yeah'd be like holding in the end zone or something, or fumble out of the end zone something like that. Yeah, well, you know, we can always be hopeful. We'll see, we'll see how it goes. It is what it is. Weatherwise,

are in great shape. Temperature is still cool, but getting milder, closer to normal. Actually, right at it in the upper fifties this afternoon, some clouds mixing in with percentage wise mostly sunny. More clouds tonight. We're in the thirties and a little rain tomorrow afternoon. Now when I say little, I mean I don't even think we'll make puddles tomorrow into Tomorrow evening, and then the next round coming in later on Saturday. Saturday night could

be some steadier rain a quarter of an inch. It's not really a bunch, but it'll be some. There'll probably be some in Charlotte for the ACC Championship game, and then some showers around on Sunday afternoons. Another round comes in, but we will get milder, in the upper sixties by Sunday. Another cool down coming about the middle of next week, about Tuesday Wednesday of next week, so we'll turn off to dry chili weather get back to a

damper weather pattern. I don't see heavy rain. I think that is going to stay south, but at least some rainfall on again, off again. I'm starting tomorrow afternoon and right on through probably the weekend. But it doesn't rain every hour of each day, so they'll be dry periods too. So okay, all right, thank you, sir, we'll talk to an hour there. You got to raise staging from the Weather Channel coming out. Well, we got a guest coming up, BETO five, Stephen Kent will join

us. This is a dude that from a journalists standpoint is he is all up in the pop culture and the politics that that injects. It's so from the Star Wars to the Pandaverse to all of that. Uh. He's he's a writer for Bounding into Comics, which is one of the sites that we find a lot of stories on around these parts. So we're gonna chat with him at eight oh five, and if it works, you know, make it a regular thing, because Lord knows there's enough of this crap on a

weekly basis. But for now, we'll take a break and be right back, all right, proofree, look do do do do do? Okay, all right, So I'll just scroll on the Twitter during the during the break there, and I come across this tweet by the the unc young Democrats. Very excited. They tweeted this yesterday afternoon, me and our new twenty twenty

four executive team, Let's turn Carolina blue. And then they got all you know, the hashtags and whatnot there and they show the four members of the twenty twenty four executive team for the Democrats, the Young Democrats there at UNC. I mean, I looked at it and I'm like, oh, hmm, man, there's something that stands out to me. I just retweet it. See if you can figure out what it is. It's just kind of glanced at the four photos of the four individuals and I'm just like, I

just can't put my finger on it. And then I thought, are they all sisters? I don't know what's going on here. It is a remarkably non diverse executive leadership team, or at least it appears that way. Who knows. I'll at least hold out that maybe one of them is a member of the Chumash Indian tribe like that in Kansas City. I don't know,

but that looks like four white girls, which normally I wouldn't care. But it's a group of four white girls who probably think that I should be forced at some point in my professional life to sit through one of those DEI diversity seminar bs things right if you they probably believe that. I feel like I'm not putting words in their mouth. You know, most of this is evidenced

by policies and whatnot. They're supported. So with that in mind, since you want to force me to sit there and go through this diversity thing and talk about white fragility and white privilege, don't you think it's deeply ironic that your entire executive leadership team you just announced is four white chicks, or at least what appears to be. Unless I'm missing something, I didn't see any clarifications on that. That's a hoot, man, that's hilarious and wildly hypocritical.

But just retweeted it at Casey on the radio. You want to check that out and you'll be happy to learn that Mayor Brandon Johnson, the new Chicago Mayor, has now taken time to digest the problems that are being faced by the City of Chicago and rather than just you know, coming up with solutions instead yesterday he wanted to real quickly let you know whose fault it was.

Right, So, if you had to guess, who do you think is to blame for the ills of Chicago from a monetary standpoint, to the housing standpoint, to the inflationary standpoint to the violence to who do you think is to blame? According to the new mayor of Chicago is not at all

trying to start a race Ward looks insane. Maga, You're right, yeah, Maga extremists, just like I'm sure the ones that attack Juicy Smolee on that faithful evening apparently are everything that's wrong and everything that is poisoned Chicago. And he's calling him out. So good morning, everybody in welcome. He is Thursday. It is our number three and it's eight oh seven, So

I guess you're supposed to be to work at eight. You're late, so that sucks, or maybe it doesn't, depend on how you feel about your job throughout the course of the show. On a weekly basis, I would say that I would say at least every day there's at least one story over what continues to be pushed as mainstream entertainment standard stuff, you know, the movies, the comic books, the music to some extent, and that intersection

with politics, which is inevitable. Sometimes it's inevitable because it's a you know, there's politicians involved, or there's laws surrounding things with the entertainment industry. And sometimes it's political because some jackass decides that she's going to get a starr en role in a Disney movie and then insult all other iterations of the movie

leading up to it and everyone who participated in it. And then of course there's just the motivation by the powers that be and to document all of that. A lot of those stories come from a website called Bounding into Comics. One of the contributing writers is Stephen Kent, and he joins us this morning, Steven, how are you doing today? Hey? Doing really well? Good morning? You want to talk about a gold mine, my man? For all the reasons and so many more that I just listed right there,

you're never going to be out of work at this point. No. If your job is to keep an eye on entertainment and look at what the movie studios are doing and cover on it and you know, put in a little bit of commentary, they give you endless amounts of stuff to be a little bit concerned about, Kasey. That's one way to put it, unless you're here's the thing I don't understand, and let me go into one of the

things we mentioned earlier, and you actually have a story about this. I can't wrap my head around the Disney thing, and not for the the more base reasonings behind it, Like I almost get some of that motivation there, because it's pandering. Uh. There are ways in which companies who need to carry cash uh and need access to it have really signed this deal with the devil for a lot of these companies where they have to meet certain DEI requirements.

I'm talking about how investors don't just mutiny, and I have a couple theories, but I'm curious why when you look at what's going on with Disney, you look at the bath they're going to take here from this month over their last two movies, that animated feature and of course the live action, but or the Marvels. Excuse me, your live action. How is it that they don't have an absolute investor revolt when you see these numbers and this stuff look so obvious, What do you think? Well, I do think

it is a little puzzling. You would expect that there would be a full scale riot. And they do have one activist investor on the board of Disney named Nelson Palace who's been raising just righteous hell for years about the direction of

Disney and their inability to deliver for their investors. And I was reporting over a bounting into comics on this SEC filing that the Disney Corporation put in last month, and in this SEC filing which is required by big companies by law to you know, show investors kind of what they might be investing in if they get into bed with them, that Disney sees that they have quote huge risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel,

and consumer products. Yeah, it's a pretty shocking admission, like, hey, please invest in Disney. We're misaligned with what consumers want right now, but we haven't really shown any progress at fixing it. There's so many

Look, there's so many. If you got money, there's a lot of places you can park it, regardless of what's going on in the economy right, whether it's you know, shorting mortgage backed securities as some guys figured out to do here about fifteen years ago, to all the ways in which people invest in in the stock market. Is a large scale investor, and they're generally pretty savvy, which irritates a lot of folks, right because they just

see Wall Street as this corrupt organism. But if you're somebody who wants to put money somewhere and you look at Disney and you read that, how do they still have investors? Because they still do, they have people lining up, and again, Casey, don't man, it's it's it's almost like the corrosive nature of the Disney Hope brand. You know, I've heard this a number of times from your investor types to the Wall Street analysts that Disney was

at one point the stock you could always count on. They will always rebound. They may have a bad year, but they're always going to deliver for you in that three to five year span. But that is just no longer

the truth. It does take I think investors a lot of time sometimes to see where this is going, that things are not turning around Bob Iger since he's come back on as CEO after his little Game of Thrones about trying to reclaim it from Bob Shapek, it's still continuing to go downhill because he just cannot cut out the woke tumor that has grown inside Disney. We're talking about the DEI commitments and all that nonsense from the company. Well, it's not

like anybody's making them do that. They just can't get a hold on their twenty thirty year old something employees and middle managers who are driving the company into the ground for fun. I have a theory too, and you tell me what you think. I think that there are institutional investors that are not high profile guys, right, They're not the Warren Buffetts, not the guys who

are on squak box all the time. But they're also a little chilled by the idea that if they very publicly rebuke Disney, right remove all of their investment and maybe even advise people not to do that. I think they have to fear a little bit of the mob, you know, who might single out either who they are or where some of their other major investments are, because that's that's Internet Army one oh one right now. Do you think that

that is something they consider. I do think it is something that they consider, and it's hard to feel any sympathy for it because it's just sort of exhibit a of cowardice that has run a mock both in our financial scene in this country as well as the entertainment scene. You should not be afraid of online rabble rousers and lonely journalists when it comes to putting your money in the

right place, and Disney is failing to deliver on that again. In their SEC filings, they go on to say that generally, our revenues and profitability are adversely impacted when our entertainment offerings and products, as well as our methods, make our offerings and products uninteresting to consumers and fail to reach sufficient consumer acceptance. They just kind of continue to use this very safe and coded language to say that, you know, we haven't been able to make anything that

resonates with consumers, but we're going to continue to try doing that. Anyways, keep finding themselves on the outside of what they call matters of public interest, which might be something along the lines of trying to introduce queer and trans content to your five year old. Yeah, well, it's it seems unabated. And by the way, this is a company that can't stop random guests from pooping in It's a small world, right. They have a whole host

of issues that they're dealing with. But if you had to really narrow it down, what do you think has been the most injurious as of late. Is it the snow White debacle? Is it the the bastardization of Star Wars that many fans consider having had happen that apparently they're gonna they're gonna go at that well again, or is it? Is it? Is it something else? I mean, what, what do you think really was the the thing that started this ball rolling? Well start of the ball rolling might be different

than what's the most injurious as of late, I I do. Actually I'm gonna punt on the opportunity to talk about Star Wars, because you know, I love Star Wars, But it's stuff like the snow White story that I think is the most damaging for Disney overall, because snow White, these classic story tale, these classic fairy tales, these are what Disney has been built off for the generation that grew up in the eighties and the nineties and are

now starting to buy movie tickets for their children. When you've got some you know, woke actress like Rachel Zegler going out there and trashing snow White and the Seven Dwarves, like the whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm sorry, whoa, I'm sorry, the who snow White and the who oh seven companions? Is that what you're sorry? The seven? The seven multi racial companions? Yeah, it's I mean, this is the kind of vet this guy,

Did you not vet this guy before you put them on. You know, I thought you knew he was, but no, I'm not so sure. Oh man, I'm sorry. You guys are trying to throw me under the bus. The Bide administration is going to come after me post taste. Yeah, well no, I think that this kind of stuff is just really,

really toxic for this brand. It's a family company, and it is made of you know, witches and damsels in distress and princesses, and you know, I think Star Wars troubles are a little bit of an afterthought. Oh okay, well that's all. I could explore that for about twenty minutes, but I would I wanted to go back to the animation. It's not like Disney doesn't have wildly successful animation offerings that they've you know, I'm trying

to think of the redheaded chick with the bow. I can't remember the name of that, but there have been Brave. Yeah, Brave was very successful, right, And is that not? I guess I'm not for I don't have kids, so I don't remember if I actually saw any of it, but from what I understand, that is exactly what they claim that they're wanting right now, right, strong empowered women, but not of a Mary Sue varietal, ones that actually had an arc and struggles in accomplished. So Disney

can do this without alienating people, except now they can't. Yeah, you know, Brave came out in twenty and twelve, just a year before Frozen came out in twenty and thirteen, and those are kind of your your last gasps of breath for a company that knew what they were doing and knew their audience again, like Frozen, very classic fairy tale, and you know it draws from Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. It's what Disney is all about.

But it's in those ten years sense that you know, this kind of leftist mind virus has taken over the entire corporate sector, emanating from our higher education institutions. The whole like woke thing and the DEI thing began in about two thousand and thirteen, twenty and fourteen. So Brave is a wonderful example of one of those last movies that it right before they were invaded. About

the barbarian how you don't excommunicate those folks from your company. I mean, I understand the teeth gnashing in the lawsuits and all of that, but what an absolute poison. Man, Like, when I'm sitting here and I'm having to watch people like Tim Sheridan try to beg people to buy his gay Green Lantern. I guess people don't know about this, the new Green Lantern.

He's gay. And it's not just that he's gay, it's that within the comic book they want to show a lot of sexual situations, which, regardless of whether it was gay or straight, is not even traditional in that format. And so you know, now you're now you're forced to sit there and beg people. Am I am I misconstrying this because that's how I read that

stupidity. Well, you know, all the cool kids and pretty girls in school always said all this super serious superhero stuff was kind of gay anyways, So I guess Green Lantern is kind of just catching up to it, you know, this is this is DC kind of just joining Marvel with Race to the Bottom. I do think it's pretty disturbing. I've looked over a handful of the frames from this Green Lantern comic that is on the way out, and yeah, it's just kind of like that gender queer book that is showing

up in elementary schools. It's just who is this for? I mean your audience for comic books. Yes, there's going to be a diverse range of people who read comic books, but they don't read it for softcore porn. That's not what it's for. No, there's other magazines for that. And there's something else that is characteristic. I think of people who are your core

comic book characters or excuse me, readers. What might that be if you were to break this down from a demographic standpoint, because I feel it might be leaning just a little male. Well, it absolutely is male. But you know, I will concede as the father of a thirteen year old daughter. You know, the world has changed girls read comic books to girls love

graphic novels. But superheroes, superheroes as a genre like that is still just your little boy's dream and nothing they've been able to do at Marvel or or DC has ever changed that. There are just little boys who run around on Halloween dress as Spider Man. That's my thing. Miles Morales a lot of

America. Miles Morales, Miles Moraless, Miles Morales. Absolutely, I mean that that I think was a revolution sort of in storytelling for Spider Man that opened it up to more people, and also borrowed from the very popular trends of anime. I don't know if y'all have kids, but anime is what younger generations are consuming by and largely, yes, anime has never been more popular house. Oh well, oh, I'm thinking about the thing, not the anime. What's the other thing? It's the dirty version of anime.

I can't say, yeah, I'm sorry, I got those totally complainings. I don't know what that is? No, what is it? Come on? What you got? I'm like, I'm drag Sorry, Now what a mystery? This is a hard drive right now? It's just in his pocket it. By the way, how obnoxious is it to be friends with Ross if you're a Star Wars fan? When you figured out that Ray was in fact Palpatine, and then like he had to rub that in because he made that prediction, it wouldn't shut up for years? How artist Ross has ever

proven himself to be? Keep screaming it by radio? Yeah, all right, I got look, I got it. I got just about a minute and a half left. I've enjoyed this and there's definitely going to be enough fodder coming up. What is something that maybe needs some more publication, that's not quite hit, that's going to be the next great outrage that you're sniffing around on right now, you're seeing anything else. Well, caseie, I have to I have to rebut that I don't sniff around for the next great

outrage. I try to sniff around for the next great joy that I'm excited about, but they are hard to find, you know. I will say that something good that is going on in the world of Star Wars right now is my boy Dave Felloni, the commander of the Mandalorian TV series, the Clone Wars animated series, your kids watch, the Star Wars Rebels series.

I hope he is now going to be stepping up to be the chief creative officer of Lucasfilm, moving him ever closer to dethroning Kathleen Kennedy from Lucasfilm. And that is cause for some hope and good storytelling, magical storytelling, I'll say, in Star Wars for the couple of years to come, I hope he's not I hope he's not the enveloped in the in the suck, so to speak, where his hands are tied because look, there's nothing worse. If you get there, you get to you're gonna be able to craft your

dream. And then they come and screw it all up, which is not an uncommon thing in Hollywood, and your name still attached to it. So hopefully they give him autonomy and that. But I got Steven Ken, I got a role. Appreciate you joining us this morning, and we'll chat next week. Okay, all right, there we go. You guys really not gonna tell me what the name of that is. It's not anime something out Well, I can't remember. You look like you know, Steven sound like

he knew. I'm the only one in the room. He doesn't. I'm innocent, that's why. All right, Well, I guess I'll look it up on Ross's computer during the break. And thank you to our guest Stephen Kent, contributor to Bounding into Comics, and obviously this is a ton of meaty topics on the regular. We'll continue to chat with him, and we got another big half hour to go, including more audio from Joe Biden mad at business owners or so, I don't know, we'll get into it.

Hang on fuck all Day ninety four five PTI and the Triad and one six one FM talk in the triangle. I mean just over under we're talking about a half dozen. I mean at least after every half right, Yeah, I tell you, I think so. Try and figure out how many times today that Joe Biden will be told that Henry Kissinger died before later this evening at an event, likely asking him to stand up her round of applause. What did he say yesterday? I didn't pull I didn't pull this audio,

but uh, we got some other audio. We're gonna go to hold on to sack. Hey email, Why are you being a jerk? Okay, now you thank you, appreciate all that, and you're the worst. Okay, there we go. Yeah, where is this? Oh yeah, he called Trump congressman Trump. So uh, Pope Kissinger's probably on the probably on the table today. That's, of course, once he gets done blaming all you business owners for being a holes. Wages for working families we've gone up

while inflation has come down sixty five percent. Give me, I can't even begin to describe how dishonest by the way, this telling of facts is. Sorry, I'll let you hear it now. Wages for working families, we've gone up while inflation has come down sixty five percent. Give me families a little more money in their pockets and a little more breathing room for this holiday season. But we know the prices are still too high for too many things,

that times are still too tough for too many families. But we made progress, we have more work to do. Let me be clear to any corporation that's not brought their prices back down, even as inflations come down, even if supply chains have been rebuilt, it's time to stop the price gouging giving the American consumer a break. This is, by the way, this is the usual and incredibly disturbing, same thing, over and over. Barack

Obama used to do this. It was whatever's going on, whatever financial hardships are out there, it's because of evil, greedy people. The irony, of course being many times the people saying that are themselves evil greedy people. They just have a different way and a different funnel for the for what they want to do. Do companies take advantage? You bet? Is their frustration there? Yes? Is this supposed to be something that's worked out via company?

Absolutely? Is that always the case? No, There's certain things that come in there's market segments where you have very few people in there most of the time when you get into things since most of the time, but a lot of the time when you get into the reasons why companies may find themselves in a situation where really they and they themselves are setting the market price,

is a lot of it due to government intervention. I would point to utility contracts and cable cable deals that are done with municipalities, these franchise agreements. Lot of finger in there, you know, on the scale from government officials, but it's not everything. But how disingenuous to simply decide that anyone who's doing business who hasn't reduced prices because you you will lie and say that it's

down sixty five percent. That would indicate to the consumer who's not paying attention, that that whatever they bought at the store for five dollars that used to be three should now be you know, sixty five percent less than whatever the increase was. Sorry not doing math this morning, but you get the gist of it. When in reality, that's probably not what their cost is. It's not what their cost is, and there is an inherent cost with raising

wages. Don't believe me. Look at what GM just stated that they that whole strike and everything costs them, and going forward, how much that will add to the price of a vehicle. It's an excess of one thousand dollars. So what do you do while you go out and you blame people who are in business for being greedy and not bad policies or just bad economic times. Not everything that hits is one hundred percent at the foot of the president. But if you lie about it, even if you don't feel that you

were responsible for it, well screw you then. And what incentive does anybody have from a business perspective to artificially meet what you claim the inflation numbers are reducing prices, even if that is not what they themselves are realizing when it comes to having to pay people having to buy the raw materials that they use

to produce whatever they produce. Can't just go out and demonize them. I know, I got a friend of mine who's in the restaurant business, and he's I actually talked to him about this other claims where they've said, oh, well, the inflation's back down, and he's like, none of my costs went down, none of my none of the stuff that I buy for my restaurant went down. In fact, it continues to go up. My

rent continues to go up. He doesn't know in the building his restaurants, in what he pays employees to get quality employees has gone up, and that's reflected in the cost. So what are you demonizing that guy for who took a chance and invested a lot of money in our community, and, by the way, failed at one point prior to that, kept it going and

did his thing. What are you demonizing that guy for? Because it's easier than sitting there and recognizing that maybe there's something else you should be talking about, Like how you have a marine following you around that you can use to blow up the world. N Oh, look, my my marine carriers out of it has a code to blow off the world that is not nuclear weapons. All right, okay, well, what what's the code? That's what

I want to know. Is it the one hundred? No? No, you think you're just getting a discount of breadsticks and you're bringing about the apocalypse, bastard. What if it's the Konami code? I think that would be well for the Obviously the marine could handle it. I was gonna say Biden could not pull that off. You don't think he's got up up, down, down left front. You don't think he's got that right? We a what is it again? By the way, By the way, why can

I not remember what the dirty anime is called? But I could remember the Konami code. I mean, it was an important part of your childhood, dude. It's an important thing to remember. It still works today in various games. Yeah, oh yeah, people, Easter Egg did a bunch. Man. I can't remember where I left my keys, but I know how to get unlimited lives or you know whatever. Oh what a failure of our memory? What a failure? All right? Eight forty four? Or a

win? Depending on Hey you look about it, raised aging from the weather chat? Do you remember the Konami code? I do not refresh my memory, do you. I don't know which of the words you know and where I have to start to refresh you on this. I probably don't know it. Okay, all right, we don't. We don't have that level of doubt level of time, all right, sir? So that ship is sailed? Yeah, yeah, sorry, okay, that's okay, it is it

is. I was just kind of Rosse and I were just chatting about how we need it to be more golf weatherish than like, I don't know, freaking twenty like it was the other day, or so let's work on that. Yeah, we're doing we're doing better already. This morning. We're mild there, there's still most of us got down into the twenties. There were some low thirties. Everybody gonna cross freezing today easily and into the upper part of the fifties, which is right where you should be for the last day

of the month. Interesting note two. We end hurricane season in the Atlantic today. Yeah, you're saying yourself, well, it didn't seem like much, but in terms of name storms twenty it's the fourth busiest since nineteen fifty. So that's your water cooler weather for today. Although we hadn't have much impact the continental US, there were twenty named storms, so none of that.

We'll get a storm to come in. One round of rain coming in tomorrow afternoon, most of it light in the mid upper fifties, and we'll get another rain later, another round of rain later Saturday Saturday evening, and then some showers again Sunday, so multiple rounds coming on in it still doesn't look like blockbuster rainfall. The heaviest daying just south of us, so the

mild weather comes back. I think we're into the sixties over the weekend, and then we cool off again sometime as we get into the early and middle part of next week. Okay, all right, hey real quick. Yeah, ever you ever entered in the debate with your wife or whatever about how men when they're sick, they act more sick than women and they're a bunch

of babies. Yeah, I mean you for you probably every day, right, okay, And I have the and I have the worst when somebody's sick, I always have it worse too, yes, absolutely, all right, Well, now there's science backing it up, so yeah, I believe science. New evidence shows that the female immune system has hired blah blah blah blah

blah. Anyway, men get men get sicker. Yep, and uh and uh and that's just the truth, and we hurt more, so uh you know that's right, that's you with science, so uh, suck it up, ladies. There you go. That's right. I'm going to bring that home to my wife tonight. All right, Well, have fun at your new apartment, so thank you. That you're moving into. All right, yeah, there you go, Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. Well,

you don't think that's true. The female mind can't comprehend the pain that men go through. No, no, they're always all dismissive, like die I had a baby. You don't know. Yeah, I got a toothache. What do you want? It's not just one toot, that's two. Think about that what I'm going through. While we take this break, hang on one O six one haf V Talk and ninety four to five w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey Oday and Carolina's Morning

News for Bloomberg Update now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening? Well, good morning, Casey. No drama over the latest economic indicators from Washington. All of these numbers are right in line with forecasts. The number of workers filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose by seven thousand to two hundred eighteen thousand last week, and personal incomes and consumers spending both rose two ten percent last month. Stock market futures point to a possible early rally. We have

the Dow futures up two hundred and nineteen points at the moment. A ten billion dollar deal is in the works. In the pharmaceutical industry. ABV has agreed to acquire the therapeutics company Immunagen. Buying Immunagen will help to speed abvi's entry into treatments for ovarian cancer. Two supplements makers are merging. Pharmavite, this is the company that makes nature made vitamins, is buying the women's health company Bona Fide Health. That's a deal valued at four hundred twenty five million

dollars. Home mortgage lending declined over the summer, according to ADAM, which reports residential loans fell three percent in the third quarter. Selling off ABC FX in Walt Disney's other traditional cable channels was an idea that Disney CEO Bob Iger kicked around over the summer, but Iger says now he's decided against it. Back in July, Iger told CNBC those channels may no longer be essential to

the company. Transportation Security Administration may be forced to discontinue its use of biometric screening at the nation's airports. Two Senators, John Kennet of Louisiana and Jeff Merkley of Oregon are proposing a ban on the use of facial recognition by the TSA. They want biometrics collected during a pilot program discarded. The senators say

the safety program currently used at twenty five airports raises privacy concerns. And Elon Musk had harsh, profane words yesterday for advertisers that pulled their marketing from the X platform after Musk endorsed an anti semitic post. Musk spoke at a conference

here in New York as sponsored by The New York Times. He admitted the post was the worst and dumbest thing a thing he has ever done, but he said if advertisers leave the company, its failure will be their fault, not his Casey well, technically he said something else, but I bet you don't want to repeat that too. No, I won't do that. And maybe on my last day in radio, right when people ask can I swear on the radio, I'm like, yeah once, yeah, you can want

one time you can? So all right, all right, thanks, appreciate it, Okay, talk to you tomorrow. There you got Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg news man. I don't want to bum everybody out here at the end of the show, but ross we have a climate change problem. We got another climate change problem, this time impacting folks over in England, whether you know it or not. All around the UK they have a very very significant

canal system. So if you ever go to if you ever go over there, I mean they got canals everywhere you can traverse a whole lot of the cotton or of the island. Kind of cool. The problem is with rising

sea levels and various other climate change related issues. Unfortunately that has forcibly, even though they have locks, forced them to raise the levels of some of the canal and one of the most famous traverses, which is in Lincolnshire, which I'm sure your son would love right, got an old town named after him. As now, the longboats, the houseboats that people used to live and traverse, these keep getting stuck in the Lincolnshire Glory Hole. Oh mean,

it's a show wedge right in there. Lincoln's Glory Hole, as it is famously known, is that old old high bridge in the city center, which unfortunately they've had to allow via climate change the water levels to raise. They say now on a daily basis, a boater will find himself lodged in the glory Hole and requ I mean you don'te gets stuck there, asked, And then they would have to and they have to call rescue to get them out. How embarrassing would that be? Can you imagine? Right? Right?

It's the jaws of life? Bob? What happened? I got stuck in the glory Hole? Okay? What? First, it's on a lock system. I even looked on the map. It's three. There's three locks in on this thing. Secondly, name it something else, because I am way too immature to not do this story. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue had to be called to the Lincoln Glory Hole after boter Ray Fisher was attempting to use the glory Hole, but the current became too strong and eventually eventually he got

pinned in there. At first, he decided to stand on the ledge of the glory Hole and attempt to wedge the what wedge it out? Wait? Oh? Wait? What's all this about? Then? Hut boy? What this is England? Oh? They say, owa there, especially when they were wedged in the glory hole exactly. Oh, the glory Hole is a lot narrower than the rest of the river now with the raised water levels, so be careful, I guess going through the glory hole,
