Glad to have you along. I'm sure Raced Agent will bring that up on multiple occasions when we check in with him the old groundhog insanity in the seven and eight o'clock hour, plus Stephen Kent, he'll join us we have any groundhog topics, So that's good. From bounding into comics and boy boy, we got a lot of entertainment related stuff. Shockingly, Disney lost their case over the disillusion of their super duper sweet deal down there, which was pretty

predictable unless you I don't know. We're one of the NBC legal analysts, and I understand why they would have an unreasonable view of how things are going to go in a court of law, even when it's pretty black and white, because of well all of the insane bastardization of our legal system that we're currently watching, if politics is even remotely attached to it. So a lot

of people were clowning on them. They're like, oh, you predicted this, and I'm kind of like, why wouldn't they think they were gonna win?

Why wouldn't they just assume that, you know, whoever was doing it, hopefully shop the right judge dude with that dude up in New York's getting ready to do the I keep on calling erdigon, but it's the former president of Turkey, but pretty close what he's getting ready to do with, you know, perhaps barring Trump from doing business in New York, slapping like a three hundred and fifty million dollars fine, even though the quote unquote victims in

this case were like, yeah, we weren't. We weren't victimized. Even the AP wrote a piece saying, if they do what it is suspected that they do, it is so far above and beyond anything that's ever happened in New York. It will fundamentally change things from a precedent standpoint. And that's

true. But you also have to have prosecutors that will then utilize that, and the likelihood is they won't, but they will use it to exercise control and then if there's ever a political individual, then boom, you go after them. So I understand why legal analysts thought that Disney would prevail. I

think they just forgot it's Florida. So it's a little hard. It becomes a little harder sometimes to get the moon bat you really want looking over your stuff, all right, So we got that is this Oh Okay, dude, that's going to be a battle man. The Duke Energy is the Duke Energy story from yesterday. This thing, this thing's going to have. If this gets done in my lifetime, I will be impressed. If it's not exact actly what the activists want Duke Energy, well, you know what,

let me do this. This is a filing that was made to the Utilities Commission and part and parcel. Obviously you have different energy companies, different insurance companies and others who have to go forward and and go through this commission. We have kind of a unique system here from from a rate's perspective, although utilities there's a little more, a little more going on behind the scenes, but it also when you know, when they're kind of figuring out, Okay,

here's what we want rates to be. The Utilities Commission wants to see a glimpse into the future. What are you planning on doing, where you're going to be making investments. All of these factors come in and according to the new filing, the rate for growth for energy usage and North Carolina is eight times higher than what they projected even as recently as twenty twenty two.

Right, you got so many more people moving down here. You get all sorts of stuff going on, and as a result, Duke Energy says they'll have to increase output. What does that mean? They gotta they probably have to build a new plant. And that is where this thing is potentially, and again it comes down to, well, what exactly do they want to build. Part of the plan suggests a hydrogen natural gas power plant that'll be protested, ensued basically anything short of I don't know. I think I think

you're looking at lawsuits and drag out here. Look, you know, California is a wonderful example of what happens when you outstrip your energy supply but also inhibit the ability to expand getting new energy supply because you have a bunch of eco moonbats who are like, no, no, the only thing you can put up or solar panels or this, that and the other, and well that doesn't meet the need, Well you can't do it. It's like the

refusal to build reservoirs even in the middle of a drought. And obviously you see the stick toitiveness each and every year, and doom and Gloomy's just waiting for this thing to turn into well exactly what it's going to be turning into Duke published a Carolina's Resource Plan described as a roadmap to delivering a path to cleaner energy. All right, that ain't going to pease anybody. Just look, if you need more energy and you need to build a plant, the

question becomes what is the most efficient way to accomplish that? And once you know what that is, then you'll also know what lawsuit. Lawsuit heavy groups, activists and others will absolutely not allow because they see it as a step forward into an energy future that they're trying to fight. The which is I guess it's fine to have opinions. The reality, of course, on the ground is the thing you want isn't going to meet the needs. So so

at that point, I guess people glue themselves to things. I don't know, man, but I see this thing going sideways really quick, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four coming up? Also, Joe Biden and Elmo, I did you all think it was people are athletic? This is the this is the weirdest thing ever. I don't know that it is. It's just the only thing where I'm like, I feel like he's one hundred percent in control of this, like they let him have

this one because it's a muppet. I feel like I've finally been vindicated. Oh no, I've been saying for years on this show that I think Almo is a syop, and now it's been confirmed. I did see I did see that on Twitter yesterday, so that must be that's a source, right, correct? Now you have two of them. Now you have you have live on airring just heard and I've read it on the internet. Wait was that your account on it? It was oh wow, okay, well that

look that's good enough for the Thorn. So I mean, who am I to question this? Wait? Almo's is side? All right? It just explained to me. And he comes out with this and then suddenly Biden comes back and it makes him look more relatable and human and oh he likes a cute little muppet and I tickled that when I was a kid. And it's kind of perverted, but don't you think about it too much. And I'm going to vote for Biden. Now it's a syu. You know who?

It goes back decades. Well, look, in this instance, there is a literal puppet master, right, and it's Taylor Swift and who fun and who fun Sesame Street, George Sorows. I think first, I think the opens, I think the open whatever I think they do actually contribute to pretty much everything. But yeah, all right, so that well, so that's the that's the theory this morning we're working on. I had. That is the theory that I just made up about twelve hours ago. Okay, all

right, look at that. It's it's fresh, yes, right, you would say it's fresh, cutting edge. Yeah, we have breaking breaking news, old news, Travis Chelsea, good new new news, Elmo. All right, so here's what you need to do after the show, without disguising yourself really in any way. Go to Elmo. Let him well you know where I'm going with this, don't you I do? Yeah, yeah, all right, go to Elmo and uh honey, trap him. Let Elmo think that you totally want to hook cup right, and then get him out

of a restaurant. Get a few drinks in him. Oh dude, he'll spill so fast. Give him, you know, keep giving him little little nudges maybe you know, touch his touch his arm as you as you kind of you know, all the all the little stuff, and at boom, he'll be spilling his guts man and then film it Boom, Now you're now you're investigative journalist. I'm sorry, man, but like that, how do you not recognize James O'Keefe and you work in the White House. I assume

they got that dude's picture up. But it is interesting. You and I were literally talking about this off the air before this before this video thing yesterday came out, and you were like, it's just dudes. Everybody. Everybody he talks to is some dude who thinks they're gonna get lucky with him.

Because yeah, there's a video that came out earlier in the week as well, or maybe it was the end of the last week where it was some old intern or somebody that worked in the in the current administration or whatever worked didn't he work for a congressman, a member of the GOP, I think, But he was a big fan of Nancy Pelosi. He had been a previous intern, okay, and he was, you know, spilling all his stuff to James O'Keeffe about the Madison Cawthorn stuff, right, yeah, about

the the orgies and the cocaine and the sex parties. They have the blackmail members of Congress to vote. They way they wanted, and this guy was just giving all the information and it just seemed watching it that you they're on a date. The guy, the guy thinks he's on a date. I mean, they go shopping for Louis Vatan persons or whatever it is, as you did, and have you ever been on a date, And maybe somebody's lying about their qualifications or the things they know because they want to look good

in front of the person. He's saying these things, perhaps because they're true, it wouldn't shock me. But also the guy wants to sleep with James O'Keeffe, Oh straight up, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, one hundred percent. The thing about yesterday, though, is what did we learn that Joe Biden's got a Joe Biden's got a little bit of a problem. The polls and Kamala Harris they kind of don't think she's doing anything and people don't like her, and maybe they're gonna spot

like these are all things that they've been talking about since. I'm pretty sure the the kickoff of the administration. But it's another one of those situations where dude straight up is like thinks he's gonna get lucky with James O'Keefe. So I'm just saying, Look, it becomes a little bit of a problem because you're right, people will people will tell you things and they may be one hundred percent true because they're bragging, but also sometimes they'll tell you things that

aren't true, be in an effort to hook up with you. I'm told that that's a thing that happens from time to time. But the fact that he can keep doing this with like a grouch of marks knows glasses, it must it just like spray paint his hair blonde or whatever. And they're like,

yeah, it's totally not James O'Keeffe. When we're doing the Washington Radio thing, I saw that dude turn a corner and he was dressed you know, he was not He was dressed in like, you know, almost like running clothes, right, And immediately I'm like, ah, it's James O'Keefe. He was updoing and I didn't get him on the show. I can't remember why I didn't. I probably would have booked him, but I think

maybe he just didn't have room. But immediately I'm like, yep, James O'Keeffe, there he is, and you work in the White House, bro but he's he also works, it's what he's on, like the computer intelligence thing. So I don't know. Maybe the dude's a bit of a singular focused individual. And although he sounds pretty political when he's talking, it's it's pretty It's something though that the person in charge of cyber security for the White

House got fished by James O'Keeffe. Yeah, but not online. So does that does that work better? I don't know. You should be able to spot these things. Yeah, like like if he'd have got if he'd gotten catfished online, but like this was in person, so and the dude didn't strike me as somebody who's probably a big extrovert. So I'm not defending any of it. I just don't know what was super new yesterday. But going back to what Ross was talking about, Yeah, that was crazy man getting

into some of the more conspiratorial stuff. But it's out there, and I wonder if they'll even bother to sit there and go, oh the' they've edited the video, it's doctored. We'll probably see some of that as well, all right, So yeah, we'll dive deeper into the almost stuff a little on the O'Keefe stuff, and I want to let you know what's going on with this. A theory I should say about what I think is going on

with this this watchdog group, well, not the group itself. I think the group is fine, but this whole process where a group says that the Biden administration is work looking on a private gun sale ban, because I think I think there's there there's there's something else, possibly and and and probably going on here. That is something they do in Washington, and I think it's

important that we pointed out. But holy crap, that whole thing is terrifying, and not in the sense that I think they would be able to make it happen and that it would stick, but that they think they can do it, and they think they can do it without Congress. That's what's crazy.

And I'm not surprised that in the story in this hey, they're they're they're trying to justify this from an executive standpoint, but that this was also as people were working on this under the Obama administration and they just never able to get there. Because I think if even though Obama administration, who if you remember, was happy to come out and reinterpret words in the Civil Rights Act to accomplish their goals. After we were told that a sex and gender

are two different things that they they were going to lean in on. That shows you how unapologetic they are in attempting to manipulate this, but they're willing to do it. It sounds like or or they're testing the waters. And I think that's where we need to go. In fact, I'm gonna I'm gonna go there after just we only have about forty five seconds, but I'm going to go there after the bottom of the hour, just to kind of talk about the process. And again, I don't know one hundred percent that

that's what's going on, but it happens. And the reason why it happens in a certain way where information will get out there about something like this is is it's a very controlled and what's the word I'm looking for, intentional process. Sometimes I don't know that that's the case here. But we'll give you the details on that story, and Florida'll make an appearance Florida woman in this case and advertising all that more coming up hang on CaCO Day Radio program.

It is Thursday, It's February now, and pretty quick it'll be March and then spring break and the City of Miami yesterday is they're not screwing around this year. If you remember, pandemonium ensued in Miami Beach last year. You saw like, what was it, five hundred arrests or something. You saw

two shootings, including one that was multiple angles, everybody filming everything. You had restaurants who literally had to station like security at and then clothes off egresses because people would go into these nice restaurants in South Beach, which look, are they overpriced? Yes? Do they have some of the snootiest staff I've ever dealt with. Absolutely, But you just can't go in there, eat

and then go I'm a run fast, which is what was happening. So all this was going on, uh and the City of Miami, if you remember, they put a curfew in and literally people tried to sue over it, and then they claimed it was racist because there was there were a lot of it, most impacted minorities who had traveled there. And the irony, of course, is if you're in Miami Beach and you're you're a white dude on any given day, you're probably because Little Havana's right there, you're you're

probably not the majority, which is fine. It is what it is down there, So like they get ahead of it now and they's still concerned that there could be lawsuits. And this is what I'm understand. If literally people

are murdering each other, you have all of these fights. Actually, here's a better way to say it. If the actual video from the insanity that ensued becomes part of the GTA trailer, which an a bunch of stuff in there, is that's a pretty good indicator that you're dealing with a lawless situation. I hate to use that as the filter, but I feel it's the

easiest to understand. If that level of just criminal lawlessness is enshrined in a game predicated on criminal lawlessness, you might have a problem, is what I'm saying. So what are they wanting to do? So Miami is getting set to order the two main weekends, which would be Friday March eighth, that weekend and then Friday March fifteenth, that weekend are the busiest weekends they would they were going to implement a curfew and just a bunch of other stuff.

And already you have people saying, no, you can't do this. They booked tickets, they're coming down here, and I'm like since when since when? If I like I went, I remember when I was in New Orleans the first time I tried to go to the World War Two Museum down there, which is awesome. There's like three days of the year it's not open, and lo and behold, I have it to pick one. I get to sue the city of New Orleans. I did. I went back the next day. Was very simple. So in this case, yeah, everybody

acted a fool, and this is what you're gonna get. And then there's a bunch of other stuff basically, And what they're trying to do is they're trying to limit people gathering down there during those core hours of just getting hammered. The problem is spring break, you're getting hammered all day. So let's see. Yeah, so four hundred and eighty eight arrests, it was almost right, one hundred firearms illegal firearms seized, So read that as felons and

or people who are underage is primarily what they're talking about there. And like I said, you had two murders. You had them stream the one. Oh, and you had that joker dude, which I don't think he murdered anybody, but he creeps me. Out man, So getting ready for spring break? Remember when spring break was, I don't know, just a bunch of inebriated, horned up college kids sugar rays on stage MTVS there doing their thing. Bill O'Reilly sent his producer down there so he can be outraged for

eight to ten minutes per episode for over two weeks. And now it's this man, and you already got Here's the other thing too, Like you're going to Miami for spring break? Miami's expensive? Like hat? I never I never went to spring break per se. Although during spring break we did drive to Mexico one time, but I don't know that that counts because it wasn't really anything special. We did blow the engine on my buddy's vehicle, so

there's that. But why would you go to Miami. There's a reason you go to HAVISU or you go to uh South Padre because it or even the redneck riviera of Panama City. Man, it's still going to be kind of expensive, but it's not going to break the budget. But Miami is like having none of this, so we'll see. I'm just blown away. People want to sue over it, man, I don't even I don't even know how that works, all right, Let me flip back over to this.

Uh A watchdog group is demanding documents for the Biden administration after whistleblowers alleged a regulation is under development that would effectively ban private gun sales. Biden A campaigned for stricter gun laws, and in August proposed a regulation to clarify that people who repetitively sell guns must register as federally licensed gun dealers subject to background checks. And again, it's real lucy goosey with the language. What is repetitively?

If I've sold more than one gun, if I sell more than one gun in a year. I sold two guns one year. I saw they were to the same person. He wanted both. But am I now a federal firearms dealer? I don't think that I am. The thirteen hundred page document, according to whistleblowers, would attempt to justify a rule effectively banning private

sales. According to whistleblowers, the rule is being drafted by blah blah blah, Eric Epstein, no relation, dude, change your name man, who ironically enough, happened to be one of the Phoenix Field Office's Division council. This is within DJ and was one of the people in charge of Operation Wide Receiver, which they changed the name of that operation. If you've never heard

of it, that's fine. You probably heard of what it turned into, Fast and Furious, and we remember what arousing success that was with Eric Holder selling guns to the cartel and let them have them, not just pretending to and getting them somewhere and arresting them, letting them have them. And if you remember, one of those firearms was used to murder a border patrol agent. So we're in good hands now. One thing here that gets me suspicious

is there's a certain anonymity who's providing the information. I don't know who their source is. There. You know they're not going to tell us. But one of the things that I would do, and that they do in Washington sometimes he is test the waters. But you don't want to test the waters

by you making the proposal all the time. Sometimes you do. Sometimes the President will mention something or some you know, some committee chair will be like, hey, one of the things you want to work on is X, y Z, whatever it is, and you know they're kind of looking for reaction to figure out whether it's worth spending the political capital to get it but a better way to test stuff, especially stuff that you know is going to make people lose their damn minds is this way, because it gives you all

the outs. Right, So this gets floated, and let's say you find out that half of Democrats would even lose their crap over this. Well, now you're like, politically this doesn't work. So now you have options. You can come out and you can be like, you know, this whistleblower is not telling the truth that we have nothing of the sort, or the whistleblower is embellishing, and here's what we were working on because there's those particular

points that tested. Well, yes I am that cynical about all of this stuff, but it happens, and this in this case, then it's you don't have to you don't have to own it if you don't want to. Absolutely brilliant man in a horrible mania cool dystopian kind of way. But so we shall see. And again I don't under even if even if you do this, and you do it via executive action lawsuit in a hot second,

and I got to think that the Supreme Court fast tracks it. So but maybe it just showing that you're trying to do something which, by the way, if you love the administration and they just they know that it's all for not but they're willing to do it because they think that you'll think they're working hard even though they had no intention, because they knew it would ever work. You should be cynical about that, absolutely, all right. Six forty

five. Coming up on the show, Gavin Newsome speaking of politicians that draw higher. Did you did you think you couldn't dislike Gavin news More? Well, I promise you have to hear the audio I have for you gonna go up, well, not up, I guess you would go down one rung. And it's the fact that he's bragging about. What he's bragging about. We'll get that for you. Coming up here on the Cacoday radio program, Gavin Newsom, the governor o California. What is he even? He's what

is the call? He's on his zoom call. It's a mental all right, So they're talking about a mental health proposition. Oh that somehow makes it worse because I think the reason he then wandered over to this story is because he thinks this person's mentally ill. So Newsome, in a braggadocious manner with all of his seal clapping sickophants. Here was relaying an experience he had in

a target. He went into a target, went up to one of the target workers, asked the target worker a question over an incident that he witnessed. The incident he witnessed, by the way, according to Newsom, was somebody who went into target, grabbed what they want and just walked out, and nobody from target tried to stop him. And so that's why he went over to talk to one of the employees. It's like, wha the hell's

going on? Why is nobody stopping them? And asked ask the employee why she thinks that people think it's okay to come in here and just steal. And she gave an answer to a question that she was asked, which was obviously an opinion question. He didn't like the answer. And listen to how he handles this insanity. And it's important to note that whoever this clerk didn't recognize him at first and then did and listen to the douchebaggery going on here,

said sir, have you dropped this? And he comes back and picks it up and keeps walking out. Dude checking out the woman says, Oh, he's just walking out. He won't pay for that. I said, but why are you stopping him? She goes with the governor sort of got true story, and my mom's great. The governor lowered the threshold. There's no there's no there's no accountability. I said, that's just not true. And she got I said, we have the tenth toughest nine or fifty dollars,

a tenth toughest in America. She didn't know what I was talking about. By the way, it's the tenth toughest in America. To look it up. No one gives a damn buck, right, And I said, by the way he's talking, what he's talking about is the manipulation of the threshold. What he is ignoring is the statement from the clerk that there's no accountability. So she's obviously talking about enforcement, like California could have a law that if you shoplift, they cut your head off in the parking lot.

But if you never and I'm not saying that they should because somebody's got to clean that and and and if you never cut anyone's head off, then why would people be concerned with it? So he ignores that part continues sir, this is not true. There's still stopped. He said, well, we don't stop them because the government. And then she goes, she looks at me twice, and then she freaks out. She calls everyone over, wants to take photos. I'm like, no, I'm not taking a photo.

Where it a conversation? Where's your manager? Are you blaming the governor? And it was, you know, three hundred and eighty dollars later, and I was like, why am I spending three and eighty dollars? Everyone can walk the hell right out. How delusional is this dude? So he went full Careen on her. He he goes, he's he has a conversation with somebody. He asks a question that is that is certain part opinion right,

Obviously he knows that this person doesn't speak on behalf of target. But you know, her understanding of it, I think is relevant and to the extent that at least she understands why they do things at the store that they do.

And this is more convoluted than just enforcement for shoplifting. This is also companies who don't want to get themselves sued, security guards who don't want to get themselves prosecut which has been the case in San Francisco, and then when he doesn't get the answer that he wants, he goes, we're gonna go

talk to your manager. So so, rather rather than just being able to take any of the criticism or if you feel that it's incorrect, engage that individual, he's of the appeal, I know, we need to get her fired. What a piece of garbage, man, What an absolute piece of garbage. I mean, we don't know, who knows. Maybe he made the whole thing up. I don't know, but I'd be very interested.

And if somebody did get canned because of that. The irony, of course is you now now you'd literally just push them over to the coffers potentially, which is already a problem, which is why you're having this meeting in the first place, because you can't figure out how you're gonna pay for mental health stuff. Cause is you know, you spend a gazillion dollars on everything else. And that's your answer to go get this woman fired. Dude, What

in the world is wrong with people? And that's the that's the governor and he's and it's the part where he's bragging about it. At eight o five, we'll be chatting with Stephen Kent from bounding into comics. Got a bunch of stuff to get into there, Disney insanity, where's my list here to

do? Sorry, flipped over to something else. We got to talk about the Batman insanity, uh, and the video game stuff today because like I saw Batman trending almost the entire day on Tuesday or whenever that video came out. But yeah, yeah, people are big mad over that man killing off, killing off Batman killing off a bunch of them. And it's not to

say you can't kill off characters. It's you know, one of the larger issues obviously when you get into all of the MCU or DC or really anything that's got even a remote science fiction twist, is the ability to never truly kill anyone off, which you know that has people complaining. It's why when Marvel's sitting there talking about well, Disney, I guess talking about, hey, remember those first with the Avengers and whatnot. Yeah, we made a

lot of money, let's let's bring them back. And then you have to square with the fact that you killed off Iron Man. But if you're going to kill a character off, arguably that's how you do it, right. I don't was anybody. Do you think anyone was upset from a from a purity of the story standpoint, that Ironman dies, oh spoiler in the last Avengers movie. No, I mean they were sad because they liked the character. But I don't think anyone questioned what happened. No, it was a

it was a perfect character art. Yes, it's you know, and you have to have that. So that's why I think people are upset. They're talking about it, but you know, too often it's oh, yeah, no, they're not really dead. That was somebody from one of the other universes. They're dead now the one you love he's fine or she's fine,

right, or they always bring them back. The big problem with what Star Wars movie was that where once again spoiler, it seems like Chewbacca dies and it was like this big event, like, oh my god, because you know in the movie yea the desert to mean something, and like he was apparently vaporized, right and then suddenly, like ten seconds later, triumphant music starts playing and he's back, and it's like, well, these deaths don't

mean anything anymore, so I don't even care. But you would agree that if it's so it's not about the killing off of a beloved character. It's the part where one you either do what you just said or you don't even give them a good death. I think that of people we're also mad about. If you're someone like Batman, right, the death has to be worthy. If you're telling a story, you would think some mm hmm. You know, he has to be in the in the midst of doing something heroic

and and likely something that did succeed or will eventually succeed. But he gave it as all and not whatever the hell that was. Watching the latest like they come out with Guardians of the Galaxy four, oh, and you know everything that Peter Quill's gone through and then he you know, in the first five minutes of the movie, he gets hit by a you know, like a like a like a pontiac or whatever, and he dies and then he's move on. You're like, wait, what that's how he does? How

do you get hit by a ponie? They did they give him like the patent treatment? Was he well that's yeah, that would that would almost be a story arc. I just want to know where this pontiac? Kay? Is he on Earth? Is there Tesla? Did he get smacked with the Elon's tesla shot into space. Like there's that story, right, yeah, remember he's back on earth. Yeah yeah, no, no, no, no, I know that, and is his uncle would ever say, Hey, go down to the lowest foods and get me some give me some potato

salad. Oh it's good stuff. And Peter's like, yeah, buddy, and he goes and he's he's in the parking lot and boom, the Pontiac hit some square in the square in the face. Do you know people buy potato salad without eggs in it? Have you heard of this? I buy like all different kinds, but without eggs. You gotta have eggs and potato salad. What's the the The deviled egg one is the newest one I got. That's the woman. Yeah, it's so good, awesome, that's it.

Low's they have that look, Yeah you got eggs in it? It sure does. There you go, I mean with a name, you know, I still got a check even though it's named that. So all right, yeah, so we'll get we'll get into more of that. Also, the Book of Clarence. I had I admit I had not heard of this movie. And I'm still kind of wishing I hadn't, But I did see people, you know, I saw people obviously upset forariety of reasons. I saw people who were who were coming in just to kind of troll on them.

Then I saw people who were going, no, it's you can't be mad at this movie because this movie, and that is a discussion we will get into, but just know it's about it's it's about Jesus kind of a little bit, okay, quite a bit, and it also has a few what's the word do you use? Tropes that seem to coincide with some groups

that we have been presented with in the news cycle before. So I don't I don't want to ruin all that ross and I will touch on that before we get into chatting with Steven, But let me flip back to this do this story right here. One of the things, one of the things that we have seen is only Fans and how it interacts with schools. And you

see, we've seen it in a variety of ways. Right they find out a teacher is doing only fans or maybe she's doing it in her classroom and filming it, and you know, that turns into a whole thing because you know, all the adolescent dudes are like, hey, let me go look at this. And we've had parents. Remember the woman in Sacramento, the parent at that Christian school in Sacramento, she she was doing only fans.

And what I loved about it is the way that they They're like, oh, it was an open secret among parents at the school before it was finally brought to the attention of administrators. And I'm like, well, kind of. I thought it was an open secret among the dads. And then one of them decided to tell his wife because bro, code breaker whatever, and that's how that moved forward. But in those instances, the one thing that was missing was the advocacy on the part of the woman on only fans,

Right, So the teacher wasn't openly advertising it that mom. I mean, in a way, she is right, because I'm sure that she does some of the advertising stuff where they go on social media and clickbait and all that. It's pretty common. But but you know, it's it's being advertised in certain circles. She not running around hanging up flyers at the school. Well, what happened in Florida is different, man, And I just I can't imagine being this this chicks middle one of them is a middle schooler, yeah,

middle schooler and an elementary school age kid. So this uh, this Florida mom. Her name is Michelle Klein. She has she has three kids actually, and her kids or one of her kids attends Florida Christian School all right, Liberty Christian Preparatory School in Tavares. I don't even know where that is, but it's in Florida somewhere, and it was pretty easy to figure out she was doing the only fans, I mean, like really really really

easy. Let's get to the local reporting here has when I had this, you know, a little whild you know, hind closed doors lifestyle that we've now decided to share. But not all parents want what Kline is sharing shared at school, with some moms complaining to Kline and the school telling her not to use the main entrance. All right, now, why why is that? Because the way that she's choosing to share it is she posted a giant

decal on the back window of her SUV. She got a dodged orango or whatever that thing is, and it's it's a giant OnlyFans logo with her specific URL, so OnlyFans dot com slash uh whatever. Her. She doesn't go by her name, she goes what does she go by? Do do? Do? Do? Do? Why am I Fawn something or other? Here

we go Piper, Fawn whatever. Her and her husband do that. But there's no mistaking what's going on the back of that suv has the giant only fans and the URL and that's what parents saw, and that's what you know, parents got really upset about. And so the schools basically said, you can't pull in on the school property to pick your kid up. So she parks across the street where of course everyone is leaving the school can see what's

you know, on the back of her suv? Search up her page as I can just search the name that is on the back of these vehicles. This is one of the off set people. And although I cannot see the actual porn videos, I can see the captions of the videos and you can

see they are explicit. So that is that is another mother there who has made this her goal to get this woman's kids expelled from the school, saying that her mere presence has caused several incidents, including one student who actually was was he expelled or suspended for basically looking up Mom's web Yeah, here we go. Source told the school that a student was expelled for looking up Klein's page on his phone on school grounds in the library. Last year. Lexi

Thomas was the woman you just heard. She is a TikTok parental parenting influencer. I'm sure she's sorry. I every time I hear TikTok influencer, I immediately don't want to be around that person. But also I don't want to be around somebody who would do this to their kid. Can you imagine being a middle schooler being a middle school boy, And yes, I'm going to go gender specific because I want to see it through. I can see it

now through what I would have felt when I was in eighth grade. I show it's embarrassing enough to have your parents drop you off in front of a school anyway, And it's just the way that middle school and teenage boys are gonna talk and teasey, like if you're a middle school boy, right, if you're you, at some point somebody is gonna say that your mother did something, and right has joking like your mom is you know, like that sort of stuff. And then to back it up, the giant only fans

decal on the car that drops you off at school. You are making that kid's life a living hell. Lays. It's like Stiffler's mom. Why don't think still Stiffler's mom wasn't advertising her porn site, though, was she. That's even worse, right, she was just you know with Stiffler's mom, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but no to your point, yeah your mama jokes or just you know, the pure banter back and forth. The problem is now the kids can bring receipts and so this whole thing is blown up.

I feel horrible those kids, man. And I don't know, I watched some I watched some interview where they had like they were interviewing these three women who who did I don't know if they did all did OnlyFans or something, but obviously they had done stuff that was up on the internet. And like the thing that permeated all three of them is that they were they were surprised that when they stopped it was still there. And I'm just shaking my

head. I'm like, what did you think it? What? They just you just decide to shut down this one website and it all goes away everywhere. That's not how it works. That's not how we're and this woman probably is going to get a huge boost in her payday. By the way, it's her and her husband, so it's actually both parents, but mom's the one with the the dcaled suv and is now the focus of what is this New York post? Is this a maybe you already say this is a private

Christian school? Two it is, yeah, wow, sounds like it's a good school. And you know, obviously they're making some money. Sounds like she has a very popular channel. And again it's gonna get what is this? At least she's hot, No, she is, Yeah, I guess yeah, but I you know, I'm again from a twelve year old students perspective. At one, it's his mom. And two, oh my gosh, everybody knows. Everybody knows, everybody's probably seen it. I did a

little research, by the way, did a little research. Really easy to find this stuff by because also once these stories break, people go, people will literally go, and then they'll pull her material down and just put it out there in the in the ethos, in the openness. So even if some kids were stymy trying to achieve finding this before, not anymore. It's really really easy. So I don't even I don't know what you do at that point, because she's not doing anything illegal. I mean, the school

may have beef. I don't know if some schools, some even private schools, may have they have requirements not just of students, but sometimes of family too. I don't know if that's what the school has, but probably not, because the only remedy thus far is they just told us she can't drive on the school property. But this, look, this all fits with my theory that we are entering this era where eventually congressional nudes will be dropping like

actress nudes. It probably more because you have political opponents who will spitefully put this stuff out. And I'm not here for it, just judging by a picture of Congress right now. But as more and more folks do this, it's going to get out there. Remember that woman up in Virginia who ran her and her husband were doing online stuff. Now it's nice when you have the media who's willing to run out and go it was what do they say?

It was revenge porn because one of her political opponents brought it up. That's not how that works. It'd be revenge porn if like you were in a relationship with whoever brought it up, and you sent these private photos for private use. But now you put this online and you want as many people to see it as possible. Who were willing to give you a few bucks. That's what this woman's dealing with now, All right, coming up, dude. I know there's a lot of Mark Zuckerberg is in human jokes.

He's obviously human, but he's also so awkward. So you couple Mark Zuckerberg's level of awkwardness with an absolutely humiliating turn in a congressional hearing, and you get what we saw yesterday, and it's hard. I don't know why it's hard to watch. So we'll play the audio for you and then you can go watch it if you want. And we'll do that and much more coming your way. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Back in

just a few on the Florida Florida Mom, Heather, what's up? Hey? Hey? Yeah, so I would are you able to hear me? Yep? Go right ahead. Oh yeah, So I was listening to you guys this morning, as I always do, on my way to drop my daughter off in her Christian school. So yeah, I thought it was h kind of I don't know what the word is, but hearing the one mother trying to get the two or the three kids, however many kids that woman

has kicked out of this school. You know, my thought is nobody, nobody needs Jesus more than those four three kids, right, yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I mean. And then you know, also as far as you know the mom and dad and then wanting to banish them from from the school, you know, being Christian is all about reaching out and getting the people that are lost, you know, or or helping the people that have lost their way. And it clearly sounds like these people have

lost their way, you know. So I'm curious to see if anybody at the Christian school actually is is uh, well, it sounds like it sounds like the school it's well, look, it sounds like this. What the school asks is that she not pull her vehicle, which is essentially a porn billboard on you know, in the car line, on the property and instead across the street. Like so, it sounds like the school is not ready to throw these kids out. They are just trying to mitigate this issue.

And I think that that's you know, you'll never unring the bell. But that doesn't sound like an unreasonable way to handle it. No, I don't think it's unreasonable, but I think it's just putting a band aid over it. You know, obviously the kids are still going to you know, be seeing the billboard sign. You know, I'm not sure where she's parking or dropping the kids off, but it says the parking lot across the gravel parking

lot across the street from the school is what it says. Yeah, all right, all right, Heather, I'm gonna have to let you go, just because your phone sounded really rough, but appreciate the call. Okay, great, Yeah, the technology on that bluetooth, I just would sound a little funky. So but yeah, I don't know. I mean, that's what the school did. If you're not going to throw the kids out. And I don't disagree with Heather that if you're at that Christian school and you

have this situation, and obviously you know that this is a situation. Who

knows, maybe the kids are happy about it. I don't think that's the case, but you have that situation, you know, just excommunicating everybody from it probably doesn't allow you to attempt to you know, intervene I don't know is the right word, or at the very least help to make sure that because look, if they get kicked out of that school and they go to a let's say they go to a public school or they go to another private school and she drives that thing once by the school, you're in the same

situation. So if you feel that your Christian philosophy of your teaching style there might be helpful, then yeah, yeah, it makes sense why you'd want to keep the ball in your court with some safeguards, which you know obviously what you see here, right Jamal, what's up? Heyka see, I totally agree with the school. What's going on? Too many people like in this new age chrisch and crap where the church don't rebuke you, the church don't correct you. Number one. If this is a true it's a Christian

academy. Okay. The scripture seems everybody likes to talk Jesus love, but nobody likes to talk Jesus review. In the scriptures, it tells you you you talk come to the person one time, second time you come with a second person, third time you bring them up from the church and the fourth time you put them out. That's what Jesus said, Okay, and Matthew. People don't like to be told they can't do something. People don't like

to be told what they're doing is wrong. If this woman has a foreign billboard based what you're saying, almost a porn bill board at the school, that school's job is to take care of the other saints there. As it is said, he'll leave the ninety nine to go after the one. But he's not gonna let that one. He's not well. Jam let me no, no, no, let me hold on. Let me clarify something.

The the only fans mom did. She's not the one pushing back. She said that they came to her and said, hey, you can't come on school property, and she said fine. So it's another mom who now wants the school more than just getting that billboard away from the kids. She wants the all all the kids thrown out of the school. So that's that's where this debate is. Do you think that the kids should be thrown out of the Christian school for the actions of their mother? Here is the thing.

If if they are promoting what their mama doing, okay, but they're not they're they're they're promoting it by existing. I mean that's unless if the kids handing out flyers and uh you know, discount codes that I'm with you, but the like the kit, I don't know that the key. You can blame the kids for anything. Here, I'm gonna tell you, like this casey in the old church. And you know there are some churches and I'm one of them that go to church like this. You can't even pay tie

money on lottery money. If you selling drugs, you can't take. You can't take if you are a Christian, you can't even take. If y say, if your son's selling dope, okay, you can't take money from your son. If your son is South is selling dope and he by you a refrigerator, you can't sit there and take that refrigerator because you know that money was made ungodly. It's those type of standards that the Christian Church used

to have. If they know for a fact this woman's only fans, Paige point Page is paying for you at first their school, then yes they have to do that. It comes to time, Yes, it comes a time where people have to say Christians, we're not supposed to be the cool. We're not supposed to be the hip fruit, supposed to stand out like a sword punge, and we're supposed to have standards that we do not break. If she's paying with the only fans of money, they is put the key

is out. But if they're not, then the keys can stay. Well, it sounds like that's what the parents do. It sounds like it's a full time job. So chances are that. But how isn't isn't the isn't the point of Christianity to get people to join I mean to you know, to get testimonial into Actually no, no, no, it's not. Why why do we have missionaries everywhere? Why do we send missionaries everywhere? Because the church is the church? The church is come as you are, not

stay as you were. See a lot of people don't like I understand, I understand that. But again the kids. Again, it's the kids. I understand. Look, mom shows up to masks and they're like no, no, no, no, no no. That that would be one thing. But we're talking about the kids here. So if the money, if the money from her only fans page, it's the only way they can stay

in school. They know they cannot accept that and honey, I just want to I just want to make sure I'm very clear at church, Okay, I just I don't want to make sure that I am one hundred percent on your point. So Jamal appreciate the call this morning. Okay, all right, see, all right, every good one there. Let's get raised Stagic from the weather Channel. He's hanging out there. How you doing, sir? Uh do? Okay, I can't believe we're February first. Thank goodness.

January is over it. Boy, it's a long month, isn't it. Well, I mean it is technically tied right the longest. Yes, yeah, I mean yeah, March March never feels that long. Neither does July. Jest because there's hopes, yes there is in March. Yes, you get into January, you're coming out of the holidays and you're like trying to recover. July I'm blacked out for three days. So oh it's a

short month. Yeah yeah, not really short month. But you know, I guess if you don't like the cold in the winter weather, you've been doing okay, and you're gonna like the forecast the next few days. There's

not much of any precipitation for the next week. There's gonna be low pressure coming out of California and head south of us probably tail end of the weekend, But right now looks like most of that moisture is gonna miss us, and we'll be in a pretty good shape with the warm up to the mid umber fifties today, load to mid sixties for groundhouse Day tomorrow and lots of sunshine around and we'll be back into the fifties for Saturday and Sunday. But

the weekend's gonna look real nice with a blue sky. The loaves will be on average near forty tomorrow morning, than load of mid thirties from there on after into early next week, when temperatures are gonna be around the upper forties to low fifties, probably Monday through Wednesday. You know, it's kind of a kind of a boring weather pattern. It does look like, though, if I had to say when's there going to be a change, maybe around

mid month. I mean that's stretching the boundaries of anything I like to do on like three or five days, and I'm good casey, but maybe toward the middle of the month, some change is coming. Okay, all right, appreciate it, sir. Have yourself and go on. We'll talk in an All right, there I go, raced agent from the Weather Channel. All right, couple things coming up in the in the next segment, just real quick stories, and then we're gonna chat with Stephen Kent from Mounting into

Comics. We've got a few things to cover with him. That'll be an eight oh five here on the CaCO Day Radio program to Acoday Radio program. Welcome back. Let's grab a couple of calls. Stephen Kent coming and try to fit in a story or two. Donna, what's up? Good morning? I had a quick question. Yeah, so is the woman pulling onto school grounds or no, she was, and then the school said don't and

she said okay, and that's that's where it was. And it got elevated because this parenting influencer has kids there at the school and she started a crusade to get the kids kicked out. So, yeah, that's ridiculous. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, my personal opinion is if she's not on school grounds with her only her porn fillboard, then with the kids alone and leave her alone. Yeah. Look, this is one of those mushy

middle things in the sense that one. There's a separate thing where I just feel horrible for the woman's kids, especially Yeah, a middle school boy. I can't even I can't even imagine that too. This parenting influencer somehow made me dislike her more than the only fans mom, if that's possible, because

she's just holier than thou. Right kind of there, and I understand that some people are going to be concerned, but I'm sitting there looking at it from the kids, which is why I was trying to kind of square Jamal's point where he's talking about that. He was talking about the money associated with it, which I stand where some people might have an objection there, but

kids didn't do anything, and if anything they need, they needed. By the way, somebody wrote that that middle school boy's probably got a lot of friends who very popular. Probably well, you know, the Bible also says judge not let's be judged, So I think that that woman leave her alone. You judge people through their actions, like she can make the point without coming across as uh, you know somebody who wants her walking through the streets

ringing a shame bell? Right? Do you judge people through their actions, like if somebody constantly tags me on Twitter with cat videos from a psyche called cat Rule the World. I'm gonna by the way, they don't. You can't rule the world if you can be defeated by a blanket and a laser pointer. So who is terrible video? I don't know. You should do some so I gotta go. Thanks Donna. Yeah right, you can't rule the world if if if a throw blanket from the couch is your end,

your end? You know your end story. So come on, man, John, what's up? Oh Casey? I tall in Christian school for quite a few years, and I just wanted to clarify the situation that Christian schools usually fall in two categories. One's called the covenant school and one's a missionary

school. The covenant school is Christian families that join together to protect their kids so they're older from the world, and missionary schools tend to be open to the public as long as you can pay, and kids who wouldn't other wise.

Here. The Gospel was good to hear it, so I think it's the second I believe it's the second one the way they describe it, right, So I mean there's a Christian way to deal with issues if she had a certain expectation of her kids being protected in that school and concerned about her kids being introduced to like pornography and different things at whatever age they are.

I mean, she you know, there's the right way and wrong way to do things, because schools are not immune to the same things that any any other school has to deal with. Oh, absolutely dealt with all kinds of things. Yeah, yeah, fights, you know, somebody having inappropriate material. I mean, these are things that happened. I went to a religious school for I went to a Catholic school for a while, and all these things were present. So yeah, and so how you deal with it?

And this is how the school chose to deal with it. Do you think it's the right way or do you think that like they threw the kids out is the right way because they acted different. Well, if they're a missionary school, then they're absolutely trying to show love and compassion to the family and allow the kids to be in a good environment where they can learn right from wrong. And I'm sure that the culture of that school is that that lifestyle

is probably not the best. Sure. So yeah, yeah, and so you know, here we find ourselves and all this really has done now, and thank you very much for the culture. I do appreciate it. All this has done now is exasperate the problem because if you were living under a rocket, he didn't know. Now you know, you don't know what you don't know. Ro Ross and I were just talking off the air man. It's great. Like some of the stuff that I just looked up the clock.

I don't know if I can fit this in in time. I get into it in the next hour. But it's you know, sometimes you're the last person to know something, and sometimes it's a humorous situation. Sometimes it's a little shocking. Two things are going to happen, though, well three things. One this OnlyFans mom and her husband, because it is both of them who do this. I don't want to just put the blame, but she was the one that drives the kids back and forth. They're probably they

probably just doubled their revenue. I think that's pretty fair. This got national pickup two the kids, even people in their periphery who maybe didn't know what was up. I'm sure they do now. Kc O Day Radio program. And since we are in the third hour here on our Thursday, we're joined by from bounding in the comics, Stephen Kent for all of the Hollywood and pop culture insanity. How are you doing this morning, Stephen, Good morning, Casey. Well, it's not not for fans of Batman, the Flash

and various others, and that's where I'm going to start. We touched on this, I don't know a couple of days ago when video emerged of the latest Arkham series video game, where spoiler alert everybody, once again, you have characters with really no powers, nothing, just randomly killing the most popular, arguably character in the whole series. And you know, people immediately jump into whoa Hollywood insanity? But is that where your head's at? What is

going on here? Are they screwing with us and he'll be revived? Is it politics? Or is it just really really lazy video game developers? Because there's some other stuff in the game, like the green lanterns powers being transferred to a shark and I'll let you explain it. But what's going on? Man? Because everybody's mad? Oh yeah, yeah. If you're a if you're a video gamer and you enjoy playing Batman, you are probably ticked off

about the new Suicide Squad kill the Justice League game this game. First of all, you know, got people excited and sort of made headlines with Batman fans by bringing in Kevin Conroy, who is, you know, famously the voice of Batman in the animated series that you probably saw on Cartoon Network and

on network television in the nineties and two thousands. He's one of the most popular iterations of Batman for TV. And they bring in this version of Batman into this game, voiced by Kevin Conroy, and you know, again spoiler alert, shoot him in the face, very unceremoniously taking him off of the board. This is a trend in culture right now, the killing and degradation

of heroes that fans love. And we could get into all the reasons why, but it's it's pretty shocking because it's yet just another act by creators of going, Hey, you like this hero, how about we blow his face up? Well, and so here here's the debate that I saw, and I think it's that's a fair discussion. It's not the first time I remembered distinctly, I was, I guess maybe middle school. I remember distinctly when it emerged that they were going to kill Superman, right, the death of

Superman in the comics series, and that blew me away. Even though I wasn't really a comics kid. That blew me away. I'm like, you gotta kill Superman? What are you doing? So it's not a new thing. And obviously if a kid in nowhere, Wyoming is hearing about this on the regular, obviously it's getting some press. But it doesn't mean you can't kill characters. And the example Ross and I were talking about is Iron Man. Right now, this is fingers crossed that the idiots don't decide what they

were talking about that they need the original Avengers back. But if that was that was done in a way that I think fans found it sad, but accepting you would agree, right, yes, I would agree. And I can recall comics that I've enjoyed growing up. There was a line of X Men Evolution comics in which Magneto basically kills Captain America with his own shield. It was an incredible sort of dark alternate reality comic in which a lot of

different things go wrong. And in that line of comics, Captain America was just ceased, but it was pretty cool. And so there's a there's a a certain approach to all these things, which is, it has to be emotionally compelling, it has to be earned, or it has to be cool. Uh. And sort of what happens to the Batman in this game is nothing of the likes. It's sort of embarrassing beyond that, And then one

of the characters urinates on the flash too, which I don't know. Maybe people are less upset because the last movie was so awful, but so he is this This is just And for those people going, I don't want to I don't want to listen to his comics, let me let me get you to the bigger societal part of this. This is just another symptom of the

bigger disease, which which is seemingly there. They're void of ideas, man, and void of ideas or at the very least, void of variety in the way in which you handle ips, because it is it is the decimation of heroes, the replacement in some instances, or at the very least,

the twisting of the source material to uh, to change the narrative. You guys had an article I don't know if you wrote it on there where they were talking about the dubs on anime right, and where they just change the translation to insert, you know, woke stuff when it clearly was not part of the original airing of that anime. So I'm assuming this is all interconnected

with that, right, Yeah, somewhat. It's it's a cultural superiority that you see going on with anime coming to the United States from Japan, in which American dubs of shows are it's called localized. It's when you change dialogue and certain messages within the series to reflect your own society's values, and therefore disrespecting the art itself from the part of the world that it came from.

And what you basically have is a lot of content coming from Japan that far left progressive types in the United States find to be transgressive, and so they simply just redub all of the content before sharing it with American audiences. But that larger point that you were making about the degradation of heroes, I mean, yeah, this is something that I write a lot about in terms of

my coverage of Star Wars. Why did we lose Han Solo? Why did we lose Luke Skywalker in such a strange, unceremonious way where he died of exhaustion after hiding on an Island for a handful of years, because we are being confronted with a generation of radicals whose idea of virtue is tearing down statues of everyone who came before them, who gave them the world that they live in, the ideologies and the mythologies that they enjoy, and like with the

flash urinating on them, shooting them in the face, tearing them down and removing them from stories, it's cultural vandalism. Well, and and to your point, it's it's by design, just to be very clear, because you'll hear like, we remember the Disney the woman from Disney. Well, there was a couple those videos that emerged, and the ones like we're gonna whatever it is, we're gonna put, We're gonna put some sort of LGBT representation.

She's kind of laughing about it. And then you had others who a couple progressive comic uh comic artists who said, yeah, we're going to do this, but we're going to do it to irritate people, like it's to get it's to get people irritated, and it should be to get people excited. And sometimes you can get people excited by irritating them, right, and

and it turns into cultural cultural debates. And you know, if people want to get into a nerd argument over whether the Green Lantern's powers can be you know, reflexively utilized by another character, I see that as like one of the fun nerd debates that's out there, Like you can say they're not respecting the source material, they didn't do the real whatever. I'd rather have that argument all day than this bigger cultural one where it's it's in your eye and

it's unapologetic. Man. Yeah, there's another good example where the trailer for the new Indiana Jones Great Circle video game was debuted just a couple of weeks ago from Bethesda Game Makers, and in the game release trailer, the lead developer comes on screen and the first thing this person says, while wearing a Pride you know, Progress trans whatever t shirt, is that this is an

Indiana Jones game and story for modern audiences. And you look at this person, then you look at their their Pride shirt and you go, what do you mean for modern audiences? What was wrong with Indiana Jones before? Was Indiana Jones not for modern audiences? Could they look with contempt towards everything that came before them? Now in reality, nothing has really surfaced from the Indiana

Jones game that is different than what you might expect. It looks like a fun time, but for some reason, the way that they messaged their own product always has to be packaging it in modernity, that it's of the moment, and that's wrong. Well, it's wrong, and it also is not

good business. And that's the part where I thought, you know, because eventually the money catches up, even if it's super progressive money in the past, like when they figured out okay, because they realize that you're you're sacrificing the field of play, and you don't totally want to do that, but when you do need to message. But we're beyond that in some instances, and I think that, you know, Disney might be an okay example, I don't know, but where they are trying to maybe tamp down on some

of it, but a lot of creators out there they don't care. And yet they they lose money on all these projects, and you have to wonder where the money's coming from. Yeah, you know, there is something just naturally I think good within artists, which is that artists are transgressive personality types. I've been an artist and a bunch of different contexts throughout my life. And you want to challenge certain ideas, you want to break norms, and

you want to shatter taboos. But there's a certain point where that artist personality that I'm a goth kid right like, where it becomes it consumes you. It consumes you with this need to constantly subvert everything, and you lose control of that strength that artists have. I think everybody in your audience probably has some arty, artsy kids in their family somewhere, and it's a gift and

a curse. And if you don't have control over that ability to challenge taboos and break norms, it's going to control you and it makes your art weaker at the end of the day for it. Wait, I thought we call them theater kids. Is that not theater kids? Yes, that would be right, That would be right. I've getten emails. You know, this

is a good question. I'll ask you this because now people are emailing me what they think the worst death in media and in you know, modern media has been what would you say the worst like a death just a character was just sacrifice and it was just either so pointless or so stupid the way that they did it, that you would, you would deem it the worst in I guess the last I don't know, five years, ten years, maybe, Yeah, So I think the one that comes to mind because I'm a

Star Wars guy has got to be Luke Skywalker's death and the last Jedi. I just did a full review of this over at Bounding Into If you go and find us on YouTube, you can find us doing a review of a music video that was made about Luke Skywalker's death, which is, you know, this guy comes back on screen after thirty years of fans wanting to see Luke Skywalker back in action, and in essence, he dies in Cowardice on an island alone, and he dies from what is essentially exhaustion. He over

exerts himself and then disappears into the ether. I've made Devil's Advocate arguments in the past for why his death was interesting, but it's really soured over time and fans, I think, take incredible, incredible umbrage with it. Well, he's a force ghost now, so you know there's that right he'll always do with us that I suppose. Yeah, yeah, you know one other ross you may agree with this one e Miller says Glenn's death from Walking Dead was the worst. Oh man, and that was horrible. That oh,

actually, that reminds me. That's when I stopped watching The Walking Dead. My wife and I we were watching that show religiously and we came up to that episode and when they killed Glenn in that way. I remember that the eyeball, right, the eyeball dangling thing. It was a horror. We turned off the bat, I don't remember. Yeah, he was, he was. He was beat to death with a bat and it was It was horrific and not ceremonious in any any serious way. And we stopped watching.

It took us about two years to come back to the show and try to finish that season. But it just it hit wrong, right. It felt like a smack in the face when you're invested in a story to treat certain characters in that way. Yeah, I don't know that I was invested in it. But the other one that pops to mind is that that last Terminator movie, right, which was another one where they were trying to marry Sue

somebody. Because what happens in the first moments, the thing that in air every other movie has been the main driving plot point actually came to pass, which was the terminator catching up with John Connor, and it's like, that's in the first five minutes. And then they were able to get a new Hispanic female lead to take up the John Connor roll. But that didn't really cash flow. I'll tell you, yeah, I'll tell you what isn't going

to cash flow. Kenya Barris is now writing updated reboots of some classic movies, including the Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life Bearess known for Black af Blackish You People, and the remake of White Men Can't Jump. And now Dorothy will be in Inglewood, California, in a housing development called the Bottoms and there's no tornadoes in La So I don't know how this is gonna work. How do they get the money for this stuff? Who who thinks

that's going to work? I guess is my question. Well, last week we talked about one of these Best Picture nomination movies titled American Fiction, and it's about a very well to do, educated black author who can only get a book deal if he writes a victimhood story that he made up in his imagination to sell to white publishers who want to hear these sort of liberal woes me tales about black victimhood, and I think you basically are dealing with the

same sort of thing here. The only stories and ideas that are selling are if you can get a person of color to direct that story and transgress and change everything about the original stories in a little bit of a different direction. That reminded me your story you were telling about Greta Gerwig, who helmed Little Women and the Barbie movie. She's going to be directing the Narnia movies that they are now rebooting for Netflix. I'd love to get your reaction on that,

because that rubs me the wrong way. Casey, are you are you implying that you think some of the Christian imagery may not find it way into the reboots or well, I mean you never know. I mean, what are their priorities? Why do they want to reboot Narnia in the first place, and why pick Greta Gerwig? Now Greta Gerwig In her defense, she grew up in the Catholic Church. She is no longer and I think that that is one of the main things that you should be wary of, is

all right, So she grew up in the Catholic Church. She understands the Christian faith, but why is she part of it no longer? And is she going to bring that into Narnia, which is of course a pretty sprawling religious allegory and a Christian tale. It's just a strange choice. You're picking somebody to direct this thing who might have a broken connection to the thing itself. Yeah, well, but the thing is too like, it's not just

Gerwood putting it there, right. You know, they have consultants for this stuff. They have consultants for everything. If you got any police there, they bring somebody in who's an expert in police. Arlee Ermie famously got that role in uh, you know, in in being the drill sergeant in full metal jacket because he was the He was brought in to just advise, and he was so good at it they ended up giving him the gig. So like, even even if she quote I guess maybe doesn't remember it, doesn't

care. It's very easy for him. I'm out of time. I'm sorry. I just looked at the clock, like this is easy to remedy. But I'm with you. Let's hold her breath and see. So all right, bounding into comics dot com and follow him on Twitter. We'll get that for you, see us, sir, Thank you, thanks, thank you, and we'll be back. Hang on. We got into a little we

got a little discussion. I was talking. It was it's you ever see somebody who's you ever watched somebody find out something on the fly that you just assumed everyone knew. And by the way, I'm not necessarily going to be mean to people because I'm guilty of like, oh, usually it's not something too bad, just because obviously we do a lot of research, get exposed to a lot of things around the show, but it is it is crazy to watch and I remember what fully prompted this, but uh Russ and ever

I was telling Ross. So like, the best example I can think of, uh one that I've that I've witnessed is I went to a farmer's market, right, I went to a farmer's market. Big fan of AG.

I mean, I understand that depending on where they are that make it a little douchey, But so I went there and I watched this woman at one of the you know, the multiple stoles there, and the woman who was running the stall who sell it was selling like carrots potatoes, onion, you know, pretty standard stuff, right, And this the woman who's ordering, who looks like she was either just a senior in college or just out wanted

baby carrots. And if you look on this woman's table, you see, you know, you see bundles of carrots all that, but she obviously don't see bags of baby carrots. And she wanted baby carrots. And there was also a language issue. The woman who was selling it didn't speak very good English, and so the woman was trying to utilize I guess probably her high school Spanish. And the way she pronounced carrots was hilarious, said Zanjrios,

look it up. It is a strange word. But then she was trying to say baby, and she's like, what's the word for She's asking the dude with her, what's the word for baby? And I'm just standing there because I'm like, well, actually that's a gimme because it's baby. So so anyway, so she's doing this and it dawns on me. This woman has no idea. She thinks baby carrots are like some farmer plants carrots and then immediately once they start to grow, harvest them, right, so they

haven't grown up to big adult carrots, yet their baby carrots. It's treat in the name, dude, Well yeah, but it's yeah, And I just want to be like, have you have you ever seen a baby carrot with a stock and skin on it? Right and peel on it? What do you why do you think that is? And I guess if you're listening, you're going, what are these guys talking about? Baby carrots? Are just whittled big carrots? Right? Baby carrots sound better than murdered carrots or

woodship or carrots. Yeah, yeah, murdered or dismember it's more appealing that way. Is that a pun with the appealing? I didn't mean it, but sure, okay, all right, now you don't laugh too hard, mister laptop discovery dude. So you know you're on the you're on the list. Hey, that's just me not believing the company would would fork over the money to give me touch screen. Like, never in my mind did I think that they would do that. So the company that issue a few years

ago, they started giving us these Lenovo. You know, we get our company laptop and they give us these Lenovo and they're fine, they do you know, they do everything that I needed to do. And and yeah, but they're also touch screen. Yeah, because the one I had before it was I got it in twenty eleven when I started working on the station and it was the former producer. It was Chrissy's laptop, right, and that laptop. That laptop was like already ten years old and I recently got a

new one. I thought it was two years. I made a post about this on Facebook and on ex It was actually worse. It was three years. I've had that computer. Yeah, I've only had one of the new ones for like a year. Yeah, so I got it back in like twenty twenty one, like the beginning of that year. So three years now, there's not is there a lot of functionality for touchpad? Well, here's the thing, Like I said, I've worked with a do I was so

used to using this laptop. It looked like the thing that Jeff Goldbloom hacked into the Spaceship and Independence Day, like that old what it was like an old Mac booker. It looked like super old. They looked like that. It was an old It was an old IBM power book. Yeah. When I sent a photo of it, because it was falling apart, the battery was falling apart. The place where you plug it in was falling apart, and I set a photo. For years, I tried to get a new

laptop. Didn't work. AJ became a new boss, right and I sent him a photo of it, and I said, hey, this is my laptop. Can I get a new laptop? He had one sent to my house in like two days. It was absolutely incredible. It was blown away, so I was used to having that. Never in my wildest dreams after being here this long, I've been with this company since two thousand and six, loved my job, but never in my wildest dreams did I assume they

would send a touch screen laptop to my house. So I never even tried to touch it, never even never even attempted it, never fathom the idea of it. And the other day I'm online and I accidentally bumped into it and it moved the screen, and I lost my mind. I'm like, I cannot They got me a touch screen laptop. So thankful all that time lost with your laptop, never being able to touch this spit and I just

don't. I don't use the touch screen because there's it doesn't like Adobe is normally what I do a lot of formatting and stuff and right, and also I don't want it to get all gooey. The funny thing is that when I touched it, it light up like a Christmas tree, like super bright. So I've been using it for three years where the screen was dim because I never touched it. It just it wasn't as bright it was. So it came out. I'm like, oh my god, I can see this

so good. Like Ross is literally doing a celebration dance and then he's posting stuff. I'm like, oh my gosh, you must have found something important now. And then I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're they're they're touchscreen, like one of the one of the native programs that sided on there is the touch controls right on the desk. But then I felt bad about posting it because we have a you know, there's a lot of people over me in this building, you know, and like like give it,

like Trevor. Trevor was like, I don't have a touch screen, and I'm like, oh man, I'm like, dude, I am going forward with the understanding that them sending this to me was a complete accident. Well look, and also Trevor's in management, so like that's not your fault. But he just needs to smash his with a hammer like you did. I mean, I mean, don't vicious vicious rumor ah. But yeah so but

now the carrot the care chicks worse. But I don't know. If you don't know, you don't know, dude, when it comes to agriculture,

man, I told you like I would. The questions I used to get when I went to southern California when they found out it was from Wyoming were amazing, and me being a smart ass, the answers that I gave a few of them were even more amazing because they were not remotely correct, but they were the funniest answers I could come up with I and and they would just stare at me and and I and I wonder to this day, do the does that group of girls who live next door to me in my roommates

do they still believe the drift fences, which are the snow fences you see when you go out west, are because we're too poor to afford fencing for all of our fields, so we guess where the cows are gonna run out? Like maybe she might be a forty something year old woman, right, now with a family and believing that to be the case. I don't know, So do I feel a little guilty? Nah, not really. And then the other one I used to get was how old is a deer before

it's an elk? And the answer ross you've ever get out? Seven and a half? So getting full of a half? Yeah, he I told so many people that I don't even know man raced agic. I would never lie to him about deer elk stuff. But hey, man, sometimes you're just like, that's a dumb question. Let me give you a dumb answer though, to amusing myself. Right, So, like when the rock is

wet, is it raining? It might be raining. It might also your one of your pipes first, You don't know, man, it could be Yeah, what do have any of that going with the hose running up your rider bill as they do? So, yeah, that's it. And luckily we don't have anything to worry about with cold weather at least in the short term. Yeah, I mean not bad. We could be into the sixties.

Yeah, No, I feel pretty confident that we won't see anything below the upper twenties for the next seven days, and even the upper twenties will be limited. We actually be above freezing the next few mornings until the weekend, and the daytime highs will be above average too, in the upper fifties today, Tomorrow, little mid sixties, a little breezy, but ground Hog

Day should be sunny. It might be a little cloud early, we'll see if that messes anything up for anybody, and then sun over the weekend, mid fifties go over night lows. They'll get down the upper twenties to low thirties, so maybe a little bit chillier for the morning, but not terrible. Early next week, I think rain will go south of us Sunday night

Monday, bring a little bit more cloud Monday, but reasonable temperatures. I think upper forties to low fifties should take us through the middle of next week. So all the wet weather is actually in the West. A big storm coming into the West today and another one coming towards late in the weekend early

next week. So back to the heavy rain. Los Angeles San Francisco went multiple feet of snow in the higher elevation, So if you had a ske trip planned west, there's gonna be a bunch of it in the next stuff five to seven days. And are they gonna do the thing they did last year, and they're like, oh, we have too much snow and then they let it run into the ocean and then bitch about a drought later. Yes, okay, all right, I just want to make sure everything's gonna

run as per usual. Well they are running, you know, the snowpack is below average. And last year, no, no, no, no, last year was nuts, like almost sixty feet in some spots, crazy stuff. And then they didn't bother to retain any extra genius. All right, Well we'll talk tomorrow. And then tomorrow is easy for you because you turn over all of your duties and equipment and education to rodents. So I do. Yeah, what happens at the road? What happens if it's so

cold the road and freezes NELLI a rodent sickle? Well you know what, I'd have to reference the the road and handbook on that. And if it's frozen and it can't move, I mean then I guess technically, yeah, if it couldn't, it would stay out right, so then it would be springs all the way. So that's right, I'm gonna gound a loophole, man. All right, chat about it tomorrow. I have a Goe and Jeff Bellender joins us next hang on PCODA radio program Bloomberg Update Now, Jeff,

what's happening? Good morning? Case. Stocks took a hit yesterday after Federal Reserve chairge your Own Powell dimmed investors' hopes that interest rates would be caught at the fed's next policy meeting. Powell did indicate central bankers have started thinking about cutting rates, but said it's unlikely the reductions will start at the March meeting. Stock market futures have been pointing a little higher this morning, could

be the investors think yesterday's selling was a bit overdone. The number of workers filing new claims for unemployment benefits increased last week. The Labor Department counted two hundred and twenty four thousand first time applications, nine thousand more than the prior week. Another Labor department reports as worker productivity increased more than next infected in

the fourth quarter. A visa company issuing the credit card company the plaintiff charges Visa knew or at least should have known, that it's very easy for thieves to drain the value from its Visa Vanilla gift cards. Iris Schumann says four thousand dollars was siphoned from gift cards he purchased before those cards could be used. Real estate agents are seeing more looky lose. Redfin reports more people are touring homes for sale, but so far there's been no pick up in the

pace of sales. Agents are optimistic, though, that the increased interest will translate into an improvement in pending sales over the next few months. Walmart reversus Corps. Eight years after announcing it would slow the pace of new store openings. The giant retailer is planning an expansion. Walmart says it will build or convert more than one hundred fifty stores over the next five years. An online new site, launched just eight months ago, is run out of money and

shut down. The Messenger was billed as a non partisan outlet. It ceased operations yesterday and hold three hundred journalists and other employees. They were being let go in casey, hold on, hold on, jem bumps. Okay, you forgot the best. They burned through fifty million dollars, so I guess they have a Yes, they did it. Point three left, one point three million, left fifty million and eight months so yep. Apparently Hell is better about CNN plus after that. Come on, yeah, yes, I'm

sorry. They hired heavily. They they went all in three hundred journalists and just didn't work for them. Elon Musk this final story anyway, Casey, Elon Musk taking the first steps toward reincorporating Tesla in Texas, the electric vehicle maker currently incorporated in Delaware, where a judge ruled this week that Musk's fifty five billion dollar pay package is excessive. Musk says Tesla will hold a shareholder's

vote on whether to make the change in incorporation. Casey, Yeah, story baffles me too, especially when you you look at all the numbers surrounding it. But okay, all right, thank you, Jeff, appreciate it. Okay, on to Friday, have a good day. Yeah, yeah, you too, Jeff Ellinger there, Bloomberg News. Oh I love this story I'm about to share with you. All right, So where is this.

This is in the Netherlands. Yeah, this is in the Netherlands. And then the Netherlands is dealing with something that parts of the United States are dealing with, and that was this push to rapidly reintroduce wolves to former territories. I lived through this and was at the forefront of this, grown up in Wyoming. When they were reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone. It was like apocalyptic political

debate. It was. It was a big deal because every rancher was so poed over this, especially when they started getting kills up by Red Lodge. But the fact is that these programs went forward, and they went forward in a lot of other states too, Michigan, Minnesota, Idaho and others who were able to bring populations well over the goals. And then what happened is the way you manage wolves is you manage it through hunting. It's at least part of it, because you want to you wanna, you want the right

amount. And then the move the moon bat lawsuits all started. It was a whole thing. And see, and that's what happened over in Europe, except they don't have the hunting mechanism, so now they just got a bunch of wolves and they have what are known as deviant wolves officials in the Netherlands following a court ruling that disallowed deviant wolves or wolves that are you know, uh, maybe you're on a bicycle somewhere and it's following you or it's in

your trash and and so that's a deviant wolf. A court ruled that you can no longer use sprays, bear spray, pepper spray, uh to uh get those wolves to leave, and instead authorities are now recommending if you've got a wolf that's a problem, Uh, you're you should shoot it with a paintball gun. Yes, yeah, yeah, do that, go right out to that pack of wolves and start slinging small little paint things at them.

In fact, uh, you know what that that's one way. Let me give you some other tips if this, if if you're the moonbat who's like, yeah, this is how'm gonna deal with the wolves? You know what else? They hate wet willies? Ross, did you know that? You probably they know they can't stand them. Yeah, you're Ross knew that. And there's that is there wolves in Schenectady. No, I know, I know that from plain red dead. Oh wow, okay, yeah yeah, wet willies not a fan noogies. Oh my gosh, oh watch out,

they're out of there, man. Uh So those are very effective also, uh, if if you want them to want them to leave, as they turn to leave, follow behind them and then use your foot to kick their right leg behind their left leg so they trip. That is very effective as well. So between you know, those those three I just suggested, and of course the paintball, I'm sure you're gonna be fine,
