Thursday-6-26-2025

Somebody's true with my board yesterday, so ross we like the levels. Everything is happy there, yeah so far okay, all right. Uh, we had a we had a big shindig, big client shindig here at the radio station, and you know, everybody's just like touring, and so I think one of the promotions people because the board was all it doesn't it doesn't look very impressive when not in use. So I think somebody just came in here and like moved a bunch of stuff, so it looked like things were happening.

So uh okay.

You know you walk by it and it's like what you would assume it would it should look like right right, like I'm gonna put this thing over here and this thing over there.

It looks like it's being used, but it's not.

Yeah, although it isn't, should it would it would look like because every they did a thing where it almost was like a not to describe it.

It looked like what you see when you see like doctor Dre or somebody producing a video.

And yeah, right, so where they are going to be, they're going to be so. But what he's talking about with one of those boards is you would have that because you have every segment of the melody. Ever this thing, each thing does its own thing, so generally you want the levels the same, right, the button bar levels, there's three of them, the same, the mic level, the PC on my left. You want it all the same. And they hit it was like a cascade. That's exactly what

It's somebody from promotions or somebody who was helping put the party together last night. Yeah, that's what they've seen in video numerous times when you have these producers putting together songs. But it's a completely different sort of board.

Yeah.

No, and I'm not knocking on them. They did it. They put on a really good event last night.

Man.

I think that might be the most well attended client event that we've ever that in my what thirteen fourteen, fifteen years, however long we've been here.

Man, Can we just say that I went to the thing and I didn't die have a panic attack, So I would like everyone to clap.

I was okay, I didn't know if you're going to get into this, so something happened yesterday. Ross showed up to one of these and I wasn't surprised because he told obviously we told you.

He said, Hey, I'm gonna go.

I was a little surprised when he told me, but like it made sense because we got all the big bosses in from out of town and all that stuff.

But what was fun.

The fun thing was one he shows up and he got his phone and he marks his time when he gets here, and and then like I don't know if you had an alarm.

But he was like, all right, this many minutes.

But was watching the faces of all of our co workers when you'd cut, like come around a corner or something, cause most of these people don't see the morning hosts.

Yeah know, it's like a big foot sighting.

Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, I know. I told Trevor Ross is all blurry. I don't know if you know this. Yeah, he's just he's like, hey, look at him. I'm like, what is that blurry thing in the next studio?

So pixelated? Yeah, what were you telling something? I told Trevor. I got I'll give you an hour. I'm very busy. He's such a diva. No, it's you know how you know, I'm just kidding.

No, you got the wife and the kid at home, and yeah, but it's also a complete introvert panic attacks sort of sure, yeah, completely psychological, it really is.

It's bad.

Yeah, Like people don't understand that. Like, I have major issues when it comes to stuff like that.

It was interesting because there's co workers who we rea. There's some coworkers where we changed. They're more in the behind the scenes like traffic, which is not traffic like, hey, there's an accident on forty, But it's basically the people who handle getting all the spots from the cellars and then you know, Ross and I or any other host of wasting them and then they end up in the log and that's a lot of work, man, and they kind of reformulated how they did it so the og of it.

Allison.

I hadn't seen Alison in I don't remember the last time I saw Alison because she's not in the building anymore. And you were you there when she said that she couldn't even get in the building because.

They no, I was unaware.

Yeah, So she tried to use her little fop thing in and she's she's technically a remote now, which which she's loving, but like she's like, I couldn't get into the building.

So yeah, dude, it was fun. It was a good time.

Then I had to go to a dinner after, which was great actually, but when you go to those dinners after a client party and then you got to get up and do a morning show, you gotta you gotta be on fun at the dinner. So we got, you know, and we went to uh, went to Raise Steakhouse, right, so that's all family style, and you know, you got everyone wants appetizers because you got clients there and the whole thing. And so it's it's not like I popped

So but it's not the personal, it's just I gotta be up there very very early.

So I came up the elevator yesterday, like I told you, I was gonna get there.

Before thirty, and you showed spot on right.

Yeah, So I get off the elevator and the girls standing there and I've never seen this girl. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and she's like, hi, welcome too, and I go, I work here, and she.

She looks at me like she did the same thing to me. She looked at me like you do.

She had promotions assistant, and the promotions assistants generally do like, you know, when we have remotes or we have things coming up, and it's mostly with the music stations.

Yeah, but they're not here at four in the morning, so she had no right.

Yeah, because they work, you know, they like they had the concert at red Hat last night. They had they were I think they were down at one of the Clockwork or one of.

The breweries there.

And yeah, they never see They only see the morning people on the off chance we do a remote with them. And Ross and I don't really do a lot of remotes, so which is fine. It's a you know, the music stuff around the concerts, that's who they interact with all the time.

So I got up there and it was the same thing.

It's like, hi, welcome to ihearten and I you just I should have said what you just said, because I saw the table with the name tags. So I walked over and I just subtenly picked mine up and was putting it on and on it it's you know, it's got the name and it says what I do. And then she's like, all right, who's your AE? And I'm like I kind of looked down at it and then

At the very least. The whole thing is so weird. I guess like.

Liver King is piste off because he keeps coming up in like Rogan conversations with different guests, and it's always the same sort of thing where it's like, hey, here's this guy who did who said he wasn't on steroids, and then it came out that, hey, guess what he is on steroids? Big shocker there. Yeah, you know, and it's it's pretty obvious. And he's tired of being the but of these jokes, of the topic of conversation, I guess and he.

Well, you know, here's the problem.

He was not tired of all of the energy when he was running around eating uh, liver and testicles and telling everyone that they had to do it. And then you know, it was a bit of a side show too, because you remember, you show up to like local he like the ABC affiliate in LA with a big bowl of liver and eat in front of people, like a side show.

But the dudes like, you know, he he.

I don't want to say he looked ripped, because he's always kind of looked a little rough, but you know, he's a lot It looked like he's a lot better shape than I am. So there's that and and so it was that nature. The problem is once you get a little prominence, especially in that field, because it's so competitive, right.

Yeah, I mean it's competitive, but there's so much also science behind it.

Yeah, and so if they got something on you, they're they're gonna get into it, like I don't and he made memory made the worst apology video ever.

Yeah, but especially if you're denying doing something where everybody who is in the business understands what you're doing right, right, right, because there are people now who are big fitness influencers who have used steroids.

In the past and have it been O Joe Joey swoll right, completely.

Honest about it and he's even yeah, and that kind of if you're open and honest about it, it can sort of be like forgiven, right, But when you're just denying it and denying it and you're like, no, the secret to my success is this giant bowl of rawd chicken. Then I'm gonna pour milk on approaching powder and put some liver guts in there, and that that's how. And you know, I boving bovine testicles.

This is this is Rocky we call the Rocky Mountain oysters where I'm from.

But yeah, yeah, I mean you're a fraud. What wait, why am I fraud?

Not you?

But I mean, if you're that's the secret, and like, oh no, I wouldn't touch steroids. And now that you know I'm against Come on, dude, everybody knows. Everybody knows.

Look at you.

How do we not have Liver King's apology in this? I know we played it. Hum, I'll find a transcript. Don't worry about dubin it. If you fight in the system, throw it up there. I swear we played it. Was just it was so bad. The thing was so bad, and I honestly I hadn't really heard a lot about him for since kind of after that, because that obviously

You can do weightlifting. So I did do that, but like it's.

Not when you're seventeen you don't really need to, you know, but a lot of kids want to do it.

A lot of people are doing it right now.

And so having somebody like Joey Swall who's got very high profile, and we'll speak honestly about Hey, I made this decision. Here's the bad stuff that happened. Plus you're seventeen, you guys, and you know so you you don't need this. You never need this. And I'm and this happened to me in that cautionary tale. That's great, man, that's absolutely what you want.

There's a new trend with the kids now, and I mean, like, you know, younger kids, high school and stuff. Everybody seems younger to me now, but you know, you know, if you're like younger than forty five, I'm going to call you a kid. Yeah, but like like it is it like gen Z where the gym now does free like free stuff for high schoolers during the summer so they have something to do or they can like you know, keep moving and stay in shape. So when the summer hits,

Ross was going on an old tangent the other day.

It is kind of annoying because you go there and they all sort of like, you know, they they crowd over the machines, and they talk and they're on their phones. But they are there and they're on the machine, so it is it is a positive. But you see it's also where you know, gen Z isn't drinking and they're much more healthy, and for them it is a complete lifestyle thing, like they don't need to be there, but

And get out of my gym. I marched with the King, right, yeah, let me on there. I'm middle aged and you know I need I need to actually do you realize how much I need this. I need to be here.

I am middle age, you know what I mean, and I'm trying to really be you know, care about myself. You literally have metabolism of a hamster, and you don't need to be here. There's no fat on your body anywhere you are. You are, you're ninety pounds when wet.

As long as you touch grass to some extent, it'll work out.

Man.

I know, other than the weightlifting class, I never had to because me and my buddies would like to. We'd be like, let's go up to sour Dough, which was a huge mountain park up there, and let's walk all the way up the hill at like seven thousand, five hundred elevation, which would kill you, It would kill me now, and we're just like, let's go up and see if we can spot elk just for something to do.

And it's like a three hour hike and we just do that on the regular I know.

Back in my day, like, yeah, there were kids that would hang out in the weight room or the gym, but they were all like varsity correct athletes, and now it's like all of them now it doesn't matter like computer nerd chess club. Yeah, you know, you're on the football team. They're all there. They're all at the gym, and they all care about their fitness, which is a good thing.

The other thing is too, there's probably so many people at the gym right now because it's six nineteen listening to this, staring around and like, I one middle age, but we also have a lot of younger male listeners who are like, am I the problem? You're not the problem? Okay, it's if you're just look, if you're embracing it and you're doing your thing, and you just hear you're hitting the machine courteous to other people, you're good to go.

Yeah.

No, my experience, like six o'clock, like four to like seven in the morning, the gym isn't an issue. It's like later in the afternoon instead of like back in my day, like I said, you would sleep all day, you'd party at night, and you play video games.

So now they go to the gym. Yeah, so weird.

All right, six twenty we got we got a bunch of stuff to get into and some well we got some Daddy Trump audio if you haven't heard that, that's interesting. And jd Vance was on fire yesterday. So we'll get to all that much more coming up. KCO Day Radio program. Quick phone calls, Sue, what's what's up?

Good morning? Hello? Sue? Are you there?

Yeah?

Yeah, Hey, you're on there. What's what's going on?

Hm?

You have a question.

Yeah.

I was wondering with them, not wanting to give them any more money for the hurricane aid in Nashville. I was wondering, how do you feel about it? In other words, should should they? Should they cut it? Off now or do you think they they need more assistance?

Well, who's not wanting to give them any more money? Let's let's let's nail that down because.

Yeah, the General Assembly they write said they might go to recess without passing any more money for anything.

Yeah. No, no, no, no, yeah.

And that's why I just want to clarify for people listening, because there are still federal flow through dollars that are we're allocated by Trump even though it was reported and lied about by our governor saying they cut off the you know, the the clearing stuff.

And they actually just reduced it to ninety percent.

I you know what, I I have a nuanced answer for you, Sue, because so can I do this because I'm gonna go to break. When I come back from my bottom of the hour break, I'll give you my opinion not just on Ashville, but some of the other stuff that I saw because I drove through. I spent Sunday driving basically the backcountry roads through from Ashville.

Up to Boone because I wanted to see other communities.

So I'm gonna I'm gonna hang up and then when I we come back from my commercial break, I will answer your question, So stay listening, okay, okay, all right, thank you so much all her Sue, and she was inquiring about the the need, the continued need for aid in western North Carolina. Obviously, we had the broadcast here last week. I was up in Ashville. We talked to folks from all over Asheville and Black.

Mountain and Canton and quite a few other places.

But after the broadcast had completed, I stayed up in Asheville. I had some stuff to do. On Saturday, dude, I went to the Basilica up there. If I don't care if you're not, if you're not Catholic, Basilica is is different than just a Catholic church, for those of you who don't know. So there are what are known as major Basilicas and then minor Basilicas. There's four major Basilicas

It's it's what is official? I mean it it is so it is.

It looks like a black purel hand sanitizer dispenser. It's cylindrical, but it has a big cross on it because if not, people were thinking it's hand sanitizer. And I don't know how God feels about that, right, like no, just a little the thing or rubbing it in their hands. They the they you know, you can go and you can just go visit it. They got pretty pretty broad hours. You go to service there if you want as well,

Right.

The more people they're shoveling up into the up into the Biltmore facility there and and spending money up there. It's it's not just great locally for them, but it it It generates a lot of revenue for the state.

All these places.

So I get to Hendersonville and the rivers around like bridges are gone still and they're in the process of reconstructing some bridges. Hendersonville's downtown, which is usually pop, and they got a little downtown. If you've never been to Hendersonville, it was very soft on the number of people. And I actually drove onto the main street because again I'm

All the earth is gone.

So it's it's almost like you have these like raid you know, you just like these little mini slices just taken out on all these cutbacks, and I'm like where, and there's and and and the debris not there. So as soon as you then get to the top, before you get to Grandfather, they have an enormous pasture with all the debris, and the debris is probably forty feet tall and covers a forty acre section. It's just trees

It really is.

Uh.

You get over into West Ashville, once you get off the little river park there, you're dealing with a few things. You're dealing with old school mom and pop like a frame places, and you're dealing with all these guys in work trucks with their you know, I think you think you're in like Johnston County or something.

You know, it's funny you mentioned that because last time we drove through, we stopped for gas. Yeah, and so we're parked there and like a group of people started like hiking through the parking lot. Right, it was obvious that they were sort of like, you know, I don't know if they were homeless, but it was a well, no, if.

They were hiking, they have backpacks and stuff. I mean, because there's two major trails that run through there.

Well, I just said hiking, I mean walking. Oh, I got you.

Okay, yeah, I said to Markey, actually said, I said, I don't know if they're hippies.

Or hill buildings, right, yeah, yeah, So you know, I I'm not going to speak to the political side of it, but if you think the entirety of Ashville area is nothing but hippies or Black Mountain or anything you got, then you don't know the area. So but that shouldn't matter because even if even if you like ah, they vote differently than I do, it's still a big it's

But so it's easier for those communities.

I think because they have numbers, they have maybe better insurance in some cases. And but no, there's there's a lot to do, and and so the lawmaker's failing to reach a budget and saying maybe we'll get some halnaid. There's more that needs to be done. So to answer your question too, I don't know.

I don't know.

If I would say that it's just done in Ashville, I would say arguably, Uh, there's a lot of places that.

Really needed I get I didn't get to see everything.

There's a couple of towns that I was going to go to, but because of the way that I had to structure the drive.

But I will.

But when but when you're hearing this, I don't want you to be dissuaded by not being able to access the parkway at Town Mountain Road up to Lynnville area.

Up there.

It added about twenty minutes to my drive. But then you're right up there where you want to be, up by the viaduct, which is cool. That's that's that's all. That's all good to go. Most of the trails were good to go. If you want to go to the Gorge, that's.

That you're good to go.

You just have to you just have I just had to get creative on that one segment of it. But I want you to understand what you're going to see that debris filled. That was the problem was I was driving by it and there's not really a pull off right there because they've shut it down because there's so many trucks coming in and out of there, and I there was kind of traffic and I want to be that guy flipping a U turn in the middle of the the the banner Elk Highway, which is that right there.

The work done.

But I'd be hard pressed to think that everything that is necessary and.

This is Look, this is what we voted for.

This is why this is one of the As much as I criticized the Republicans, the best thing that they ever did was take our state from We're gonna have to cut you know, bed Purdue sitting there. We're gonna have to cut these teacher things, these raises we promised, and we're gonna have to do this and us some minor austerity measures to the Republicans got in there and they built a rainy day fund in like two terms.

Excuse me.

If you want to be on the show, that's your first step. And then you have to pass the Ross filter, so you know, don't call in with dumb stuff. It's like silly dumb. And then you know, just maybe all right, coming up, Yeah, somebody send an email.

Yeah.

So I hope you were listening to the top of the hour there with Kyle's News. He was talking about Deston Hall is saying that they want to get the they want to get this Western North Carolina aid package done. But you know, Deston Hall only controls one side of this thing, and so him wanting to get it done is great. Let's see if they do get it done.

We're not done. And and so, man, it's not just people's houses.

That's that is one thing, but you're talking about big infrastructure, the the full functioning of and some of this is federal, right because Blue Rich Parkway is the full functioning of the apparatus that is Western North Carolina tourism requires these pieces to be fixed, and nobody wants to stare at the debris field that I just talked about, which is again that you see that, and it's just because it's just everything.

It's just.

Homes stuff, people's stuff, trees, all the dirt, and uh yeah. So I do hope they get it done, whether it's seven hundred million as it comes out on one side and the other side agrees, or if they got they want to do it some other way and then they have to go to conference. Fine, but it needs to be priority. And frankly, you guys should have your budget done too. But that's you know, that's that's a whole nother thing out there, all right. So a few things

Oh wait, hold on.

If I had it here in front of me, all right, so, uh, the moment in question was, uh, the what.

Is this guy's name?

Do?

Do?

Do?

Do?

Do?

Sorry?

Close looking at one window and then closed it, and my one computer's being a jerk still, so I had to flip over to my laptop. Okay, so it's a NATO Secretary General. I said, you a NATO Secretary General Mark Ruddier Root or however you pronounce his name.

Well, uh yeah, listen for yourself. I mean we may do papers on it, Marco. Maybe we're going to do papers.

I don't even know.

If you need them.

They're not going to be fighting each other.

They've had it.

They've got a big fight.

Like two kids in a school yard, you know, they fight like hell, you can't stop them.

Let him fight for about two three minutes.

Then it's easy to stap them.

And then daddy has sometimes language everyone you have to use a certain word.

All right.

So immediately the reporters like, I'm sorry, did the NATO Secretary General just refer to Trump as daddy?

Yeah?

I did.

He But it's in the context of an analogy that Trump just set up. He goes, sometimes you got two kids fighting, and then the guy made a daddy. There's nothing abnormal about it. What's actually it's not even that funny. But what is funny is Marco Rubio. Because now they can't just dog with a bone for for the reporters there, they can't let it go and and you know, Trump's trying to be funny again. But Rubio is like you ever ever when you were a little kid something was funnier.

So everyone starts laughing.

But the guy was responding to an analysis or an analog excuse me, of kids fighting. So a parental reference in breaking it up is completely normal. And I saw people are like, he makes them call him daddy. What do you shut up?

Here? By the way, this is the follow up.

The NATO chief, who is your friend? He called you daddy earlier?

By the way, can I say this? I like hearing her say daddy versus one of the views from the Chicks.

From the view right, Mark Ritter, the NATO chief, who is your friend? He called you daddy earlier? Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children?

No?

He likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let you know. I'll come back and I'll hit him hard.

Okay, he did.

He did it very affect you daddy here my daddy.

Well, yeah, I mean at that point, Trump's just going to roll with it, right, yeah, one hundred percent.

Yeah, he's like, oh, you want to go because he would have left it alone because it wasn't that remarkably funny if you paid attention to what was said directly before.

You know, right, But but you were saying too about Marco Rubio laughing about It's it's sort of like, I don't think Trump would have went there if because Marco Rubio is standing like, you know, a little behind him, like.

Yeah, he's off his left shoulder. Yeah.

It's one of those things where like when you make your buddy laugh, you're just going to keep going there to make him laugh some more and then inappropriate situation.

It's what we do. Yeah.

Oh wait, hold on, Oh no, Ross were being impeached. No, yeah, yeah, the impeachingts. Hey, AOC's impeaching us. Do they have the votes for making the analysis? I don't know, probably, we're not very Which way do you think Senator Slenderman's voting?

Come on, man, that guy can't take a joke. Yeah, because he's too busy plotting against your children.

Yeah, yeah, that's a good point right there. We have to we have to dust that thing off. In fact, see if you can find that real quick, because we always have new audience coming in and another audience leaving because they get annoyed with us.

So circle of life.

So like years ago when he when Tillo's is running against Kay Hagen, we decided to be really funny to do attack ads, just crazy attack ads, and so we did some for as though they're supporting Tillis, and some as they're supporting Hagen. And obviously, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's the good one.

That's the good one. Right here.

You want to hear an example of it. So and it's Kyle Kyle and news too. Right he did no, he did the other ones. He did half of them. I can't remember, all right, So check check this out. We may just repurpose. I may just cut this down to a thing and then just run it where we run PSAs just to be an a hole.

I don't know, we'll figure it out. Yeah. This so this is the attack at him. By the way, it holds, it holds this election day.

Ask yourself, is Tom Tillis slender man? In a recent poll, one hundred percent of women with children said, quote, yes, Tom Tillis is slender Man, and I fear for my children because Tom Tillos, I mean slender Man, stalks them while they sleep.

End quote.

We asked Tom Tillis if he was slender Man, but he couldn't dancer because Tom Tillis was busy dancing inside a pentagram maniacally chanting about your children and his million dollar yacht this election day. Say no to slender Man, no to Tom Tillis, Yes to your children, and yes to America.

All right, and then the other tags missing there. But yeah, so we had a lot of fun with that. That and the Hagen ads were funny too. Where's the other Tillis one?

Oh?

Man?

Do the other one?

I may have to find them. Sorry, I'm typing and leaning at the same time.

Yeah, here it is.

Oh beautiful, I got it, dude, I don't know. I think this one's funnier and more appropriate.

Right now? Are you ready?

Uh?

What time? Okay? I'm good? All right, So, yeah, check out the other one.

You've heard about Tom Tillis's war on women, but how much do you really know? Recent secret documents reveal that Tom Tillis wants to sell all women from North Carolina to isis because quote, North Carolina women are ugly and should be forced to wear sheets over their ugly heads. And this would explain why Tom Tillus wants to fire all female teachers in North Carolina and replace them with terrorists.

Guy sounds like a monster. The thing is, I wrote that and I forgot all about it.

Yeah.

Man, he nailed it right there. And then we had two Hagen ones which I won't play, you know, out of respect there, but.

Yeah, it's over the line. Yeah what him? Yeah?

Can you imagine making all the women and calling all North Carolinian women ugly? Who would do such a thing Tom Tillis apparently? Yeah, you hear it on the radio. I heard it too. That's double source. Now that's crazy. Hey Jay, what's up?

Hey? Casey? Casey is on? Aside from what I want to say, have you ever seen that movie A Week for Madness?

Yeah, I've seen they show clips to that you sometimes. Yeah, we're not going to do anyway too.

Into the content though on the show, so anyway.

Yeah, no, I just I just probably out blatant propaganda. I mean, that's what it was. But anyways, uh, I want to talk about the Iranians. The Persians there. They're devious, they're insidious, deceptive, malicious, they're pathological lives and they're prone to violence, and they're screaming death to America. But I think if they if they wanted to immigrate to the United States, I'd like to infall that. We already have a Democratic party here.

So I see what you did there. But you know, we have one of the highest populations of Iranians in the world, not in Iran.

So are you kidd Are you serious?

Yeah? Dude, l A Have you been to l A You, yes, I have. They have an Iranian section to any demographics.

Could because here's the thing I'm not in in thank you for the call.

You.

Iran used to be something incredibly different, incredibly different.

Yeah. Man, you see photos of Iran before, like and you're like, is that a US college camp?

Right, but let's go in nineteen seventy nine and like the women are like smoking hot, which maybe they still are, but we don't know.

That's why they hide them.

Yeah, right, they hide them now, but like like short mini dresses and it looks like like you see photos, like you said, it could be outside of any American campus in any big city and you're like, that's Iran. And then Tom Tillis got there and it all went downhill. I mean, this is what happens.

So yeah, no, So but when you want to talk about the Revolutionary Guard, the Ayatola and all of that, yeah, yeah, they are all of the things you just said one hundred thousand percent, sir. I was reading today that they're saying that the Commanee hasn't been seen in like a week.

Like why would you? Why would that be?

So some people are speculating I was reading about this this morning. I didn't send it to you.

I forgot, but I was going to, all right, kind of sort of credit to me or whatnot, right right, Yeah, but yeah, they're saying he hasn't actually been seen in a week, and there's a theory that he's been like you know, offed by his own people, and those are the people that agreed to the ceasefire. Well no, because then you got to pray him around with the butt stick as a puppet like they did with Goadaffi. Right, yeah, dude, if you're gonna off your own guy with a butt stick.

That, by the way. You do not want to see that, man. No, it's terrifying video. No, you know who watches that? Tom tillis so allegedly I heard, I don't know.

All right, coming up and just we'll get we'll get we got to get into the liver king things.

I mentioned it because it's so weird, so weird. We'll get more of your calls as as well.

And where was this? I just saw this story. Well, well let's do this. We haven't oh that's what it is.

We have. Uh, we're gonna We're gonna.

Go to Florida. We'll get to Florida. Man, even though it's woe man, it can ounce so uh. All that more coming up k c O Day Radio program. Let me grab a phone call, though we see online one. I was on time too, okay, all right, uh hey, uh oh this is Denver Paul dem Is he on line one or two?

Do I have it?

Pot it up? Can you hear me? Paul? I'm here, Okay, I can hear you right ahead.

No, I was calling in you guys traking about ron. I grew up in Iran in the sense my father was.

Sorry, you mispronouncing.

You're mispronouncing it, sir, ross, what is the proper pronunciation?

Hold on right, Yeah, we're making fun of the kids, all right.

See you lived you lived there when it was still you know, not what it is today.

Correct. Yeah, the Shaw was still in power. We were there when Niatola took power from the Shaw and were evacuated. I remember the city was. It was just as big and popular as as Los Angeles at the time. U the women there, they wore long dresses, blouses, skirts, men were Levi gans. They smoke marble cigarettes, and we traded on the dollar.

They didn't have that.

There was a religious police running around beating people, which is the thing.

Yeah, no, but I do remember the chanting over the loudspeakers in the city every you know, whatever their times were for their religious chanting.

So so you were there when they took hostage the hostages.

Yeah, we were there. We were evacuated, all women and children.

Did you pretend to be in a movie with Ben's Ben Affleck.

Ben Affleck, Yeah, yeah, no, that was part of the embassy. We were we were part of the military program show.

Two people you I well, one I know you've heard of. The other one I'm pretty sure you've heard of, and that is Joe Rogan and Liver King. So and if you're a little like liver King sounds from me, all right, So this is the dude looks kind of he has a caveman motif.

Right.

It was a little disheveled, which I could respect because I constantly I had to get my hair cut for our client thing. I was shaggy dude, but whatever, get the beard trimmed up. But that's just that was his brand. And he'd go around eating raw liver and rocky mountain oysters. You don't know what those are looking at.

You might see him like he'd make these videos that you'd see online with like a big like bowl and he'd put like raw chicken in it and milk and protein powder and rack bovine like testicles and then he'd eat it and he'd be like, this is a secret to me being huge.

Yeah. So and he was.

And he'd always in he's saying he was older than he was too or something, because he was just he was just cut right.

It was not a big dude. He's actually kind of a little dude.

But uh, and and I think there was a little bit of a little bit of that at play because I remember watching an interview where he kind of like took a fence to this chick bringing up.

Like yeah, no.

It was like a thing when people like realized how tall he was, because like he looks like a big dude and then in person he's like tiny.

Yeah, which is fine whatever, But the problem is is and the bigger problem might have been how he eat how he achieved that, because now that he's on the in that fitness influencer kind of thing, if I don't can you call him a fitness influencer when you're just eating like raw intestinal meat, I don't know. So uh, but he he got really blue up because people are like, look at it, Look at how amazing this guy looks. All I gotta do is just eat liver. I want to know how many of you when eate.

Raw liver dupes? Yeah, or like the raw chicken in a bowl.

Now, the chicken thing that's super like that's a bad idea, But you can eat raw liver all day as long as it's handled properly.

I mean, yeah, that's that's.

You know, well, the thing is like before like anabolic steroids like one of the key ways to like really get good gains where it was to eat liver, like liver was like a thing where like.

It got a ton of iron and there's there's all sorts of goodness in there. And if you if you don't mind, like I like, uh, for those of you deer hunt, do you eat the heart? I think the heart's great, venison heart. I think it's fantastic. But a lot of people are turned off by organ meat. I understand that. That being said, Uh, once you're on the radar, others are like, uh, yeah, he's doing the roids. And I can't remember exactly how they got him to admit it, but he made this weepy apology video.

No, his whole thing was very uncomfortable, and.

Then he kind of like, I don't you'd see him occasionally, but he wasn't on every show and and and in everything uh following that, And I think more so not because he did the steroids are admitted to it, but because of how cringey it was when he apologized for it.

Kind of.

All right, so fast forward on if you listen to Joe Rogan's show at all, you know they will they'll touch on fitness stuff. Joe Rogan's a fitness guy and he a lot of times he's got MMA fighters in there. He's got guys that are in the you know that in that fitness world or they want to talk about it, and Rogan has pointed out him. I think I think Rogan called him out before he apologized too. I think Rogan was kind of it was on his show that triggered I think some of this.

I mean, you know, he's he's a topic of discussion where he'll come up during these fitness sort of interviews and you know, and Rogan is like, you know, he'll do like neutropics and like supplements and ice baths and he's super into it. And like I said, when you're in that industry, you can tell when somebody's juicing, and for them to deny it is sort of like, what are you doing, dude? We all know, just say you're doing it.

But I think that Liver King then internalized his downfall and put it at Rogan's feet because it was a guest on Rogan's show that first broke the topic I can't remember who the guest was, but since it was on Rogan's show, I didn't realize that it spiraled into this,

And we'll get into some theories why, but.

It's really uncomfortable, but like car wrecky, so you're just like, what happens next, so you keep watching. And then after he did that, he you know, because he's threatening to assault Joe Rogan.

That is what that is.

You're making what is considered a terroristic threat in the state of Texas. He then traveled to Austin, where police intercepted him trying to go to Joe Rogan's house to fight him. All right, so listen to this little mash up here of what's going on. It's about two minutes, but just just check it out.

Everything because Joe Rogan, we don't have to make videos to pretend anymore.

And he'll mention this in here.

It's important to know Joe Rogan is a black belt in what two martial arts, right or something.

I believe he started off his first thing with taekwondo.

And then he did to be the jiu jitsu jiu jitsu yet yeah, okay, so taekwondo, jiu jitsu, and then have mma s fighting fighting style too. He trains in that, so he's he's not a nobody. I don't know how good he is, but clearly he's got trade. I don't think liver King claims to be in any of that stuff, all right, So that's important context here we go.

All of this has happened. We're coming to you. I've challenged you man to man to a fight, honorable. And we don't have to pretend or make any videos. The world is watching. They'll make the videos for us.

You're making a video right now.

I don't have to hold a camera. You can hold the hand of somebody that you love. Because what happens next to you, you're gonna need to remember that feeling. You're gonna need something more than what you did to give you something to fight for. Because I have my family to fight for. That's and then I'll die for him.

You know that.

And you're a black belt, but you've you've never come across something like this, willing to die hoping that you'll choke me out. I pray to God because that's a dream come true. It feels good. And then the limbs I'm fighting for my family.

We got that.

Go ahead, But then you have to contend with something else. And I weigh one hundred and seventy seven pounds, an actual savage. And so at first you're like that guy. That guy's right. When you all of a sudden you did get your attention, which I already did before this, you're saying, I'm going to choke that motherful piece of I'm going to choke him out. So what warriors do you? And Andrew Tay are good warrior, good warriors, but you're actually better than that real tension.

We have.

Comedy that you do is good and true. What we have real tension. But what I see in you is comedy is good and true. Touch points. While people laugh, if we don't make fun of them at their expense, they laugh.

You should all make fun of me, Liver, you should all make fun of me at my expense.

Trust me, uh that it still works and uh and then you should get paid for it.

And let's let's go. Let's go. We're because we're leaving.

We're going to Austin.

What was my very last point there.

We're gonna kick Joe ros act that we the wheeled Jim shut it. Oh oh that's it's my speech, justin FETs. Yeah.

So his brain malfunctions there at the end, just at the end, specific yeah, I mean the last twenty second.

I think choosing to make that video is a malfunction.

But I mean he forgets his name, he forgets why he's there, like it's super like, and that is a threat.

He's threatening Joe Rogan. Yeah.

Well, accord to Texas authorities, you've charged him. They believe that to be the case too.

So ah yeah, so I have a theory. Yeah, what's going on with this dude? And first off, look at his face. That guy is two years older than us. He is, how old he looks like he's he looks like he chose the wrong chalice. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean he looks late fifties, mid sixties, but a tough but a rough late fifty right, and he's like forty seven, forty eight years old, and that's what the steroids will do to you. But also look at his face. His face is looking You're like, oh wow, he's in

Yeah, watch out, I might try to fight you over that. Probably true.

Take right.

Bruce Lee was the same way at the end. You know, he damaged his back. He wasn't supposed to do martial arts anymore, and they were giving him these shots in his back and he's supposed to get like one shot every few months or whatever, and he was doing like two shots every two weeks. Yeah, for years he was doing that. And what happened was it screwed up his kidneys, It screwed up the way he was sweating. He had

It is seven forty five here on the CaCO Day radio program, and that video of the part where he's going to Austin. At that point, they're just gonna check with the airlines. As soon as you pop, they're going to find you. Man, So not telling you how to threaten people. But he didn't think any of this out all right. Jeff Mahr from the Weather Channel is standing.

By, Jeff. How you doing this morning? You're here to cook us again?

Right? Yeah, another day another heat advisory, unfortunately, is we make our way through the latter portion of the morning that the start of eating that's w the heat advisories at effect eleven am to seven pm. The reason the high today ninety six, but it's going to feel more like one oh five when you factor in the humidity, and that is certainly going to make for some uncomfortable conditions.

Thank you, we'll talk in an hour. I appreciate it. My friend and Ross, did you see Jesus cloud? Are you aware of Jesus cloud?

I did see it. Yes, what do you what do you think you got? I think it's a cloud.

Oh okay, but maybe maybe so we'll find out what Jesus cloud is.

Coming up. We got to do the Florida. We go to Florida for some criminal activity. We'll do that.

And uh, the the part of any of you guys have seen the video of the New York City probably might be mechs Mayor. We'll see the socialist lunatic we talked about yesterday. His victory party is interesting. And let me tell you the propaganda has Uh, you don't realize how effective it is because it's really got to be the explanation.

All Right, it is seven forty seven.

Hang on, time to head to Florida for you know, Florida and sanity.

Florida, Florida man. Is something in the water they err or sand that made should do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is gonna be dumbass trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida man. It is almost like, as the weird factor climbs, you find out it happened in Florida.

Every time. Florida man, Florida man.

If anyone can cheer me, if you know, you can't, just mind life be crazy.

But of course, but it's not.

It's fat crap, crazy as yours.

Nowhere else are you gonna find him?

They're so used to it, they don't find him. Hooray for Florida man.

And in this case it's Florida woman woman. See it's in the it's in the wording there. And it's a notcho assault because you know why the heck not. Florida woman has been arrested for shoving a plate of nachos down her wife's leggings in a confrontation that took place at three am after the two.

Had been drinking.

Now Here I got a question because now she's arrested for assault. I aren't nachos good ross you like nachos. Uh yeah, okay, And like, how's that different than whip cream? If you don't like whipped cream, you put whipped cream on your significant other. Everyone's like, God, he's romantic or she's romantic. But nachos is a bridge too far. I don't like sweet foods. I like nachos, though.

You're pulling the George Costanza Seinfeld. You're mixing food with you, you're mixing pleasures here, and it can.

What what come on? Man? Do you remember that episode? No, because you know I'm not a sein phone guy.

Really, George is there and he's you know, he's with his girlfriend. Enough said, and he's like he's simultaneously eating like a big Pistromi sandwich, and it keeps like he keeps like increasing.

What he's eating.

He's got one of those what's the chef where they cook in front of you.

Like the hibachi Yeah, the hibachi.

Guy's balancing an egg on his little spatula. Oh no, but like whipped cream and strawberries, you know, all that stuff, although that's whatever, but nachos. Yeah, So maybe she was just trying to be romantic and you misread this.

Marky and I just discovered something amazing and this isn't gonna be gross. To stop thinking that you perv hote. Just some of our favorite nachos are the kind that you get at the movie theater with that sort of cheese.

It said, nacho.

Oh yeah, with a bunch of jalapenos. Man, yeah, well that's all the only thing I'll buy it a movie theater or those.

They sell that brand of nacho cheese in the grocery store and we had no idea we found it.

Now.

Yeah, we stocked up on it because Lincoln loves one of his favorite things, or chips. He loves the texture and the crispness. It's and artism and he loves it. So he loves chips. And he was used this like the gordo sort of cheese that you get at the grocery store when you gotta put in the microwave and gotta heat it up and it takes it over.

It's a long process.

But then we found out that they have the kind that you have at the movie theater, and it's like life changing. It's like, oh my god, like mind blown. And they're right there. It's right there, hidden in the Mexican food section at the grocery store on the bottom shelf.

There's tons of it. It's exact same, and it's it's so good.

Because that's you know, people think that the cheese that they use that that's just you know, that's a US thing. No, that nacho cheese stuff is used all over Latin America and it's amazing and mostly because it's shelf stable, right, so you can you know, you can have it in there, and if you don't, you can't refrigerate it or if it's going to be around too long. But it's uh, I don't know, man, Yeah, the you ever read the uh the ingredient level on that thing?

I don't care.

Okay, all right, I have just throw it out there. It's a possibility. So anyway, I imagine it's cheese. Don't try to woo your spouse with nachos down her pants, but if you do, get less kind or yeah, make let the cheese cool first, right, very important?

I mean maybe not, you might be. You know, some people are into I.

Don't know, don't get the hottest of hot pepper's too, this mom Donnie dude up in New York. I saw a video yesterday. Do they know I can hear them standing aroundside my door barking. It's fine, it's not picking up on the mic. So, like, I saw this video of his victory party, Ross, you did watch the video of the victory party.

Of I didn't know your tweet? Yes, you bet? You saw you?

Yeah?

Yeah?

So did did you notice anything about this socialist I'm gonna give everyone for free diversity is our strength, lunatic? Just anything about the video that maybe didn't comport with your understanding of his messaging.

I mean, I will say this, Yeah, a lot of times when it comes to these sort of like socialist candidates, what happens is you're like, oh, you know what, the people voting for him are the people that are like, you know, super not well off. You know, they're in poverty and they're voting for and it's got a.

Lot of how sou Venezuela got to where they are at. Yeah, I'm just a farmer like you, and then boom Yeah. But a lot of times the people actually voting for a candidate like him are actually more more middle to upper class, upper class. They're affluent, and they're they're voting for him because they feel guilty about their own success.

Correct, and I wonder where they would have gotten that idea.

And you see that from people from like the The Sex and the City Chick like Cynthia Nixon correct yes yes, yes, yes, or like a Mark Ruffalo or somebody like that, where like they're super well off and they feel guilty about it subconsciously, so they're voting for this guy, and in a way when they're doing that, it's very selfish.

Well why ever would it be selfish? Why? Because what it.

Ends up doing is hurting the people you're trying to help. Yeah, this make yourself feel better.

This goes back to you know, this has its roots in the decimation of black families and the success that they were having in the nineteen fifties and sixties, emerging through civil rights.

And and and.

And not just them, but that's where you saw the most devastation.

And like the marriage you know, out of wedlock, birth rate.

And all of the things that people talk about, which is just kind of the third rail, but it's true.

It's true.

And it's you get people dependent upon you, and then the idea that they could never live without you is what you're going for. It's it's diabolical, man, And whether they realize they're doing it or not. I don't know, because obviously there's some lunatics out there where we tell me the Trump Mondami thing. Yeah, so that's the audio, right, yep, all right, this is this is great. So I want you to check this out. So he's being interviewed by uh,

It is part of a larger referendum on.

Where why did people vote for you?

It is part of a larger referendum on where our party goes. And I think one of the hopes that we had from the very beginning of this campaign was to move our political instinct from lecturing to listening. You know, at the national level. After the presidential election, we saw that New York was actually the state with the largest swing in the country towards Donald Trump eleven and a half points, and that that swing took place far from the caricature of Trump voters, instead taking place in the

Huh, so.

You and Trump have a lot in common in your mind or something?

What are you talking?

And by the way, there's something in all of this. You have to remember what was the turnout of It was eight percent or something voted for him, of a turnout that's like in you know, under twenty percent, So you know understand what you're looking there. It was a primary.

So but yeah, I mean him and trumpolt have like this populous message right where, yeah, can you afford your groceries? The problem is if you are somebody who in the last election cycle voted for Donald Trump and then six months later you vote for the socialist, you're dumb. You're just burning down anarchists who likes to irritate people, or

It ain't good. It's gonna go the opposite direction.

No, what unless maybe we haven't maybe it hasn't been done correctly yet.

There's a lot of things like that.

Yeah, maybe this is the one.

And then and then just to reiterate to the thing that Ross is talking about, Oh, people are feeling guilty and that's why they're voting for him.

Yeah, And that's the message.

It's driven into your kid's head every day in a lot of these schools, right, And that's the it's one of the offshoots of that whole narrative. If you're white, you're privileged, and you probably didn't earn it, and you you know, and so now you got to give back, and that you beat somebody in the head. Enough with that, especially if they're not super like, you know, into research and looking at stuff, they kind of go along because it's that herd mentality. And then then you get what

And know we like, there's another conspiracy you and can go into where it's like, you know, they're calling it like the TikTok vote, Like his people right his constituency are people like primarily that, you know, the younger crowd on TikTok. And it's like, well, how come some videos were promoted on TikTok. Some candidates seem to like the algorithm you know, likes them more than others, and they're getting more views and clicks, and you're like, well, who's

Who could it possibly be? I don't know, BW York No, that was yesterday. Now you can get somebody else, Like I said, just one somebody or.

Maybe a country, a lot of people the oooh okay, no, but I mean you know that's something that China would be interested in. Well, we already know we look, we remember that report we had what two weeks ago that they I don't know that they were successful, they're investigating it, but they were manipulat.

They were trying to manipulate vote and voter registration.

So look, and we've had Mark Walker on when he was serving on an intelligence committee, and he was saying that the literally literally China is affecting uh or attempting to affect what like a thousand hacks a day across various things. They're just they're just sniffing around looking man. Well it just came out in twenty twenty.

Read it came asaw the report where they was like China was stuffing the ballot box for Biden in the twenty twenty election. The esbea, I knew about it, and they didn't say They didn't say or do anything about it.

They were busy, Yeah, coordinating a kidnapping to the Michigan governor with three yocals and a PT cruiser out of you ever saw a training video.

They're training.

They're doing tactical swat style training out of a pt Cruiser. It's the funniest thing.

All Right.

I just saw something and I think you're going to have an opinion on this. Did Did you see this yesterday? There's an argument over who's the best big wrestler in history, and to be qualified you had to have weighed more than four hundred pounds. So that's the caveat.

I mean, Andre the giant, right.

That's what I thought, and that's where some people are, but that's not where everyone is. The big show Yokazuno, King Kong, Bundy.

I mean, they're all great, but.

These are all like these are what people are arguing. And Gorilla Monsoon, Oh, Gorilla.

Monson is absolute legend. People don't understand the influence that he had in wrestling in the industry. I mean that there's a reason why the spot behind the curtain is called the Gorilla spot. Yeah, I mean, because that's where he would be. But listen of all the names you named, they're great wrestlers, but only one of them you could maybe argue to put on them Mount Rushmore Wrestling, and that would be Andre. That's Andre, man. This should be a no brainer.

Do you think it's recency biased for younger fans with Big Show? Probably, although a lot. Look Gorilla Monsoon is that he's an older wrestler. King Kong Bundy's an older wrestler. Here, here's some I'm just looking at some of the names people are throwing out here.

Uh hold on, you're gonna scroll for this.

Let's see, all right, So the names of people arguing at least within the top three. The Great Collie Okay, Giant Gonzales, yeah please, yeah, I know, get that, Get that out of here. Rakishi the guy used to sit on people's faces. There's Monsoon, There's Big Show, Big Van Vader.

What are we doing a one man gang? I mean, once again, they're all great wrestlers. But the influence that Andre had on wrestling is ridiculous. Uncle Elmer, I don't do I remember you want to have wrestling today. If it wasn't for wrestling Ania three, and if it wasn't for Hogan and Andre, yes, it wouldn't be where.

It is today.

Yeah, earthquake, uh Visira Yo Kazuna and uh Haystacks Calhoun. I had not thought about that, Remember Haystacks Calhoun dude weighed like six hundred pounds, and six hundred pounds, you should not be able to do wrestling stuff anymore.

You should be on you.

You should be cutting the side of your house out and with the crane. Just call him coming to the rig man on a crane. He's in the He's in the Wrestling Hall of Fame. How wait, how young.

Did he die? Sorry, that's probably a little dark anyway.

I mean, it's sad, but they all tend to die. You don't really see a lot of like, you know, super old six hundred pound people.

No, no, you're you're right, uh, at the age of fourteen.

Okay, so this is interesting.

He started regionally wrestling in his twenties after a promoter was driving by and saw him lifting cows up in a field.

And just moving him. And he's like, hey, and I got a golden.

Tick, yeah exactly, and an enlarged heart probably meal ticket, yeah exactly, all right, eight nineteen. Yeah, there's no good By the way, this is not a I don't even want to debate it.

Andre's number one. I don't care what you say.

There's no way it couse to Ross's point without Andre Hulk are Bird Jordan in the in in that kind of I was gonna say, this is as dumb as an argument or debate as like Jordan versus Lebron, Like there there is no debate.

I don't even want to take part in the conversation. Exactly. All right, eight nineteen, we'll be right back.

Somebody brought in boxes and boxes bow Jangles, Chicken Fla biscuits or sausage biscuits, sausage, egg and cheese, and then there's just boxes of bow rounds out there.

Trump said it was going to be a new Golden Age, and this is a sign that you know it's true. That's like going back. I remember we used to do that all the time on Fridays, the bow Jangles.

Yeah, well they but technically they brought it for one of the other stations and then we'd loot it. I'm pretty sure they brought it for me, oh and for Ross. Yeah, so we loot all that.

You know, we'd have to sneak it down. You'd go in the kitchen and you'd load up and put it under your hoodie and bring it back to me.

Yeah.

You had to get in there because they had an audience that they were feeding and they would always take the chicken ones first, and I can't abide that.

Recently, I had lunch with Ivan or Old and actually, you keep talking. Remember Ivan used to work here.

Yeah?

What you You went to his wedding?

Yeah?

Yeah, so it actually was so good. It looks good. So yeah.

So we're at lunch there at the Alehouse and he's like, you know, the best part about being there was I'm like, what was it? You know, our companionship and friendship and was it learning radio and stuff and you know, making the public laugh.

And he's like, no, the free bow Jangles on Fridays. I have Texas Pete in my bag.

Hold On, you know what, it's bow time. It's bow time from Bojangle.

Hold On, I got them in here because I got the Yeah.

See, it reminds you of the glory days. Oh you that howe of the glory days? I can compete. Back in the day, you didn't have to worry about food. You just come to the station and they'd be time food in the kitchen.

Well there is today because we had the thing, yes said, there's a lot of leftovers. Oh no, it's really weird. All the vegetable leftovers, the meat and cheese leftovers are in there. There's like these lacroix and there's a bunch of beer and wine too. All the dessert's gone.

I wanted to bring some home today too. I was trying to behave myself and not bringing home last night and not looked like a greedy bastard. Well that was dumb, I know, super dumb. Yeah, so I'm like, oh, where's the little pieces of cheesecake? Er, the chalk gone?

All our promotions girls are just they're probably in heaven. Yeah, they're all gone. The cookies you're all gone too. It boxes those those super duper homemade cookies.

Man, well good for that.

I was really honestly shocked this morning when I came in and everything was cleaned up and nice.

Yeah, no, they did a good job.

So and and that's that's the other part of especially when you're starting out in radio, right and you you know you need you need need to Like I I can go get my own Bojangles, right, but you know the boss brought didn't. That being said, when it's when it's your first job in radio. Some I know radio people who never bought food for a while because they were able to work in radio and it likes it's like sustained them because there was so much food here on the KCO Day radio program.

Uh oh, Boston.

Paul's mad because there's a Denver Paul and I guess he feels cheated on.

Yeah, not only Denver Paul but also a former cop. You guys should fight in the octagon. That's all. It's really clear way to handle this right. Get in there. You guys can do too.

We'll put a trading montage together. We'll get some of the Rockies soundtrack. We'll speed it up for you so you don't look like DeNiro trying to kick that guy's face in and the irishman.

No, they both need to run on the beach.

Ah.

Yeah, maybe they could play some volleyball. Really yeah, well a little bit of that action.

I will say.

When you go back and you watch Rocky Too, and you see the run on the beach with Apollo where they're both wearing like the John stocked and shirts and socks and stuff, yeah, it's very obvious that Apollo let him win.

You started, now you start bef for what I am car well done is also Ross's other big thing is to get you divorced this morning, so because he just just what somebody's gonna suggest trying this to their wife later today and it's not gonna go.

Well, you know, I can hear that.

You hear that A party in the hallway, man, They're like, hey, why don't we do it right next to the radio studios and not over in the conference room which has a door. Anyway, I wanted to come in here and clap for things we're saying. Could you think we could organize that? That'd be amazing, Right, you are make a good point. You get golf clap too. I don't want, I don't need them to go aggressive.

Oh all right, uh crap, crap, crap, crap, cup, crap. M ross.

If you check the Fox unanchored and anchored and see if they're rolling the Pentagon briefing that's going on right now, all right, so that they're they're doing a briefing on the on the strike. So let me let me tell you about this story he just sent me while he's

No, no, the missiles all missed. Yeah, no, they'll be back up and running by the end.

Of the week.

They never answered the question, what do you mean back up and run back up? Doing what whatever are you referencing? It's clear what they're referencing, obviously. So this intelligence and this intelligence report which was a very preliminary and it is literally labeled and considered of very low there's a terminology for it. It's a low confidence, right, it's initial assessments. They're using satellites obviously, and it's just first blush.

What do you think?

First blush? And it has an asterisk in the report basically saying this is first blush, this is very low confidence intelligence and we need to we need to do more because a lot of what's a lot of what's going to inform them is subsequently what they see happening around these sites. So this this report got out, it's

Checking.

Sure, Oh so, Mike to Washington, Yanks. Anybody who's ever read a battalions to report after a fight knows that it's usually the initial report is usually wrong, sometimes grossly. So this is what happened. In a sense. It it caused y'all to sort of rethink the intelligence process us or the dissemination or do you think it's just I mean, it's a process itself doesn't require any more adjustment.

Well, I can tell you what the chairman told me in the situation room reminded us all, which is alongside what you just said, sir, is that the first first reports are almost always wrong. They're almost always incomplete right, anything, whether it's a squad level operation or a strategic level operation. The initial reflections you get are coming at you at a high rate of speed from a lot of different sources. To your job is to step back and assess them.

Yes, right, this is hech Seth.

By the way, so thank you, MISSUS Secretary Hi. Iran has to recognized that their nuclear program was indeed severely damaged, but they also said that the US strikes only strengthen their ability and their determination to complete their nuclear program. How do you respond to us or is that a provocation from Iran?

Well, I would say Iron's going to have to say a lot of things, right, now in order to bolster their image, especially internally. You know in if the media, there's a lot of things they'll say for domestic consumption, but we're watching very closely what they do. Again, that's the intelligib as the Chairman, I mean, the Chairman laid it up so beautifully.

Our job is to be prepared. And how proud are you?

How proud am I? I didn't know the full story of those men and women fifteen years ago who've been pointing at that target.

That makes me proud to be an American. That's an awesome story.

I hope we can tell more aspects of that in an unclassified way in the future. That's a great thing to know. Our job is to be prepared when the commander in chief calls based on those assessments. So of course our I see the Intelligence Committee will keep watching

Use, we can get out of this.

I'll give a little summary here in the final segment. So yeah, so basically the initial report was this. We think it's much more substantial the fact that we're doing this and the fact that that was leaked, And for those of you thinking that the leak, because the way that outlets are presenting this, I don't think gives a clear picture. Not very few people had access to that report. But there's two groups of people who did have access, and that is the well, there's more than just two.

Fun. Yeah, Unfortunately, we're not done with a heat of humidity today. We've got another heat advisor. He's going to start at eleven and lasted until seven this evening. The reason behind your ninety six field and hotter though that heat in decks between one hundred and one oh five when he added humidity and a temperatures heat up this after a few isolated thunder stores may develop and he rang the dest move. It will tape after the evening

All right, there you go, Jeff Maher. Are you at us tomorrow or I am?

All right, Well, we'll see you bright in early seven forty five we go welome. All right, there you go, Jeff Maher. And when we come back the other Jeff. Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News. He'll join us next. Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News, Joining us, Jeff, what's going on?

Good morning, Casey.

Looking at the stock market futures that are modestly higher right across the board. The now futures are up ninety eight points at the moment. The latest snapshot of the job market just in is mixed. The Labor Department counted two hundred and thirty six thousand for time applications for

By the end of the year.

A company that brings people together is breaking up with almost a third of its workers. The struggling dating app operator Bumble is cutting about two hundred and forty employees in Casey. There is a lot of buzz and social media about a new shoe that Nike will be releasing very soon. The Airmax Phenomena will be a so called snowfer. This is a loafer on top sneaker on the bottom.

Casey.

I I do not understand the shoe market, whether it's yeah.

In order to wise, I have shoes. I like my shoes I have. I don't pay that much.

I have some nicer leather ones for when I have to be you know, something special.

Right, What kind of shoes do you wear, Jeff on the regular?

Uh, they're not sneakers.

They're from a company called Eco and so they're they're leather ruppers. But I but rubber soles.

Okay, I'm brocking straight. Cost of boat shoes every day. Man, Okay, dress.

For the job you want, all right, see you letter. Okay, have a good day. Yeah, Rosta's crocs every day. So no, no, no, I'm dude. You know I'm a big fan of the New Balance.

Yeah.

New Balance shoes are elite. I don't care what anybody says, Ross and full dad mode. It's great.

Man.

We were wearing nice shoes yesterday. I was told, yeah, I had to. I had to find them in the back of the closet. And I didn't wear a hat, which is like, I don't remember the last time I went out in public without a hat on.

So I was weird. Don't worry, He's bills had it up this morning.

But I was told the Dad outfit is actually the Sketchers and not the New Balance. What are the New Balance then? Now New Balance are like, you know, elite and awesome and the best shoes ever. Everybody's saying it.

I don't, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not.

I've never owned a pair of it, but everyone I know who does own a pair like I love some that being said, I just I thought they kind of had that the Dad rep.

I know.

I think that's changed, because, yeah, they were the shoes that up until like schedules.

Were skater shoes, weren't they. H Now they're the old person shoes. I can't keep up, man.

But the New Balance they were the shoes i'd buy my mom for like Christmas, like she wanted the They were the old woman's shoes, and now apparently they're not.

Oh man, okay, all right, changing man, all I gotta try to fit both these stories.

That all right.

So the heckset thing was mostly him just tearing the press, just tearing into them. I'm not surprised, basically said you you said what I said, you guys hate him so much, it's that that you're going to start from there, and and it gives you joy to hack upon him when I and honestly, I want some analysis. And and who knows, maybe one site is decimated and one site could use a few more bunker busters that they look like they're trying to restart it.

Just tell me what the hell's going on. This is why I hate all of this.

But anyway, all right, so I jokingly said that Ross is trying to get people divorced. But there's a reason for that, okay, and it's because lunatics exist. So apparently one of the hot new social media trends is mouth taping. Mouth taping touted by some for better sleep. So so what you want to do want go home? Guys, go home tonight, Ladies, go home tonight.

Whatever.

Turn to your spouse right before bedtime, and then just do the thing where you rip the duct tape thing off the thing. You're like, I got an idea, and they'll be like, whoa this is? I don't know, it's this our thing. He's like, no, no, not that, and then just stick it over their mouth like it they're a bank hostage.

Yeah, this is one of those things where like a retweet doesn't necessarily mean endorsement, Like just because I scent it along doesn't mean I think you should put duct tape over your wife's mouth while in bed, you know, and make her into a kidnapping victim.

Because but have you ever thought of it? Have not? Not you?

It was more of a general because I guarantee there's some people listening, both men and women, who thought I would love to duct tape that person's mouth shut right now.

But you look at like the photo from the New York Post article that we were retweeted at Casey on the radio, Yeah, it looks like, you know, like she's gonna die.

Because she can't breathe.

She'd force her to breathe out of her nose. I hope she doesn't get a clog nose later. Man, that's not gonna go well for so.

Yeah, but it is.

But you know, there's a certain amount of humor obviously, with the idea that you might get a better night's sleep if your spouse can't talk to you so or has to talk like Dakota.

Johnson and.

Yeah, oh tell oh yeah, baby, Yeah, that's great.

What do you want to breathe? Oh well you.

Want want wanta every day? Give, give, give, I need some me time. Here's some more tape. And yeah, it's fine when the dude's like a billionaire or whatever. Yeah, it's weird how that works?

Right?

Sexy? Yeah? How well, how hot that is
