I remember, all right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is six o seven eight. Now, dude, I read the story yesterday and I laughed, and then I just reread it again so I could do this story, and I chuckled again. Because art or something, we wait to hear the debate going on in the city of Palm Springs, California. All right, excuse me. A couple of things you need to know about Palm

Springs. I mean one, California obviously, but I don't know they got you know, they got some cool stuff around there and deeper in the valley, or some good golf courses. Palm Springs itself is kind of it has It has a very high percentage of LGBT population. In fact, I think for a while the whole city council was gay. Now I'm pointing that out

because you need to understand the players who are arguing here. So the City of Palm Springs City Council and arts community decided that they wanted to put up a sculpture, which I think in a time when when we tear down so many things, Yeah, you're you're rolling the dice here. The memorial would be an AIDS memorial sculpture, and let me describe just what you're supposed to

do at the sculpture. The sculptures named by the name by the way, Philip K. Smith put together a design for a nine foot limestone sculpture for the Palm Springs Downtown Park, which resembles a donut with ridges on it. The opening at the center is an is about eye level and allows one to view through the donut with ridges on it, kind of looking ross. You

ever tied a balloon knot? Ever? You ever like put some balloons together for the first So you tied that balloon knot you know what I'm saying, where the rubber gets all cringey and has ridges on it going down to a central point. So anyway, you stare through this thing that looks balloon knot ish, kind of like a doughnut with ridges on it, and then you view through the whole in the middle, and that allows one to offer a connection, a sense of hope, a view beyond of what is directly in

front of you. And the sculpture promises the abstract piece will provide great beauty and provide the opportunity for reflection and remembrance. So yeah, so you would show up to the sculpture, which looks, you know, like a donut with ridges on a big circle, but coming to a ridged, small opening right in the middle, almost balloon nish in nature, and then you would peer through the hole, not the front hole, but the back hole,

right is that That's what the directions were. You would go then to the back hole and view the future or something through that, and then that would be your connection. Well, I can't imagine what the problem is. I can't understand, uh, you know what some of the folks are upset about. You know what I think we need to do rossa button bar. I

believe we need to solve a mystery. Whatever. Could a big chunk of the population be upset based on the description of that sculpture, the you know, the donut with the ridges going in and internal with the hole on the back, the back hole which is almost resembling balloon knot of some sorts. I can't figure out any guesses, any guesses what the problem might be.

Let's we got our assault. I know it's early, and it's it's more challenging to solve the mysteries this early because our brains are not all the way on what could possibly it's a giant butt. They the sculpture is not just a butt. It is a very specific portion of said and they want a giant nine foot one of those that you go peer through. Is that the

most California sculpture you've ever heard in your life? And what is the what's the thought process there where we're to receive enlightenment staring down the chasm of that? I have so many questions. And even in a town that is chock full of moonbats, even in a town chock full of moonbats, apparently a good chunk of them. Also, don't want a giant goatsie memorial or whatever that is. There's an old school reference to the internet you shouldn't look up.

However, a local group of residents say, the proposed memorial looks like none of those things, but rather a graphic depiction of the backside of a human being. Should we really have an AIDS memorial that looks like, you know, that part of the body? Oh? Man, what a what a great state in the sense that all this is, this is what you're going to fight out things about because you live over in Palm Springs. It's pretty swanky, pretty swanky. Not a lot of problems in the world if

you have a lot of money, which most of these cats do. Oh you know who lives? Ross didn't our old, old old? I don't think how many iterations ago? Oh m isn't Didn't he end up down there after we went to like Portland or something. Yeah, I think that's where he moved to. Yeah, oh man, I got a text him about this. Yeah, I think he lives because I need to. I need to know what the what is it? They say? Now? What the

tea is? I'm so hip. I watched a YouTube video. But yeah, yeah, so now it's a town divided over over that, all right. I don't know why I love that story, due I do. Ironically. The statue is directly adjacent a twenty six foot all Marilyn Monroe statue erected in twenty twenty one, and it's the famous scene from the Seven Year Itch, which I can understand why a big chunk of the population wouldn't like that

one either. But that's a different thing, all right. Six fifteen k c O Day radio program hang on Smart Talk all Day, four five w PTI in the Triad and one uh six one FM Talk in the triangle. All right, good morning six twenty here on the k CEO Day radio program. Wow, some of you are able to solve the mystery of what the sculpture looks like. And you're sending me emails I have to delete now,

So thank you for that. You know, in a in a town that is chock full of spinmeisters, right you have till you have like debates or something. Then you go to the spin room and they have these these trollish people whose job is to simply stand in there and almost recreate what was simply just said by a candidate, or sometimes to coach politicians who find themselves in a spot of trouble so that they can so that they can properly obfuskate what

is going on and to save their hides. And they're very you know, so they're very good at it. Look at the Clinton's over the years. Man. It's a lot easier with willing media, of course, But with that in mind, somebody who's been in Washington thirty years, you think would

have access to some some people who are real good at lyon. So I gotta tell you, when I see Bob Menendez having you explain hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, car gold gold bricks with that he had literally had stamped with a Senate logo in some cases, and he's just kind of got it all and there's fingerprints on it of people. They're literally saying, he's connected. I mean, you're gonna need somebody who's really, really good at

this. So they consulted whoever they consulted, and this is apparently what they told Menendez to say. For thirty years, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba. What I look, I understand keeping an emergency amount of cash. I think most people I know that are, you know, have the financial ability to do it,

tend to keep keep some cash on hand. You never know. We had an issue with US Bank a couple of months ago, and for like a day and a half, nobody could access their account. You know, if if if in that case that was your only bank and you didn't keep cash on hand, you be kind of screwed. Man. So I get it, I get it. I don't get that, what does he mean his how old was he when he came here. I mean his memory of Castor, I believe is predicated on what is relatives told him. And don't get

me wrong, I think that has an impact. I think for anyone who's had to h who has maybe first generation family or family members they have that have come over from you know, you know, maybe the Balkans back in the day. They do things a little different. But you ain't in Havana

anymore. And that's the best you could come up with. I think the dude with the cash and the freezer had a better excuse than I remember that Castro guy, and I didn't want him to confiscate all my dubloons, right so, and plus when you when you're doing gold bars and you're you're stamping them with vanity stamps and you don't wash fingerprints off, I don't know that that's gonna look real good man, especially with how long you've been in the

Senate and how much money you've seemed to acquire, especially this this money which is super off the books, bus. I mean, you don't even split it up, you keep it all together. I don't know what's going on ross, what do you choose to hoard in it's not as tech gold. Right, that's the one that's the only commodity you avoid preferably. What if happens if you stamp as tech gold, you reef formulated, and then you put your own seal on it, you know, I try to avoid that.

That's the whole point. That's what I'm saying. That's the one commodity you tend to avoid. But could you take it, melt it down, stamp your own logo on it, and then it's no longer as tech gold or once touched, always as tech No, I mean once touches, it's done. Okay. What about Egyptian artifacts that'd be good to hoard, right, like Lake sarcophaka Sarcopha Kai, you know, any sort of small statues that are in a boy's tomb. What about curse mummies? Well, what's

in the sarcopha guy? Then? If not curse mummies? Yeah, and you especially want one where they're like, why is this logo upside down? So it appears some sort of religious reasons and not good ones. You can hoard those, but good old American currency that tends to be the go to. So I appreciate Menendez branching out in his effort to thwart Castro's efforts of them robbing sitting senators New Jersey home and or Washington DC residents. So yeah,

I'm sorry, man, I don't think anyone's buying that. Nobody's buying. Oh, accept Dick Durbin. Let me tell you, Dana, this is a very serious charge, There's no question about it. But it bears reminding us of what I've said about the indictments against Donald Trump, equally serious

charges. These are, in fact indictments that have to be proven. Under the rule of law, the person who is accused is entitled to the presumption of innocence, and it's the responsibility of the government to prove that case. I said that about Donald Trump, would say the same thing about Bob Menendez. He can say he said that about Trump. But you can also go back and if somebody had a nice thread yesterday with all these times, he

didn't say that. Look, if Benendez was smart at all, he would have gone to consult whatever the Biden's due to funnel money, because that seemingly is a little harder to find. Although there's a lot of records, a lot of records showing a lot of payments distributed, but you know, really putting a face to that not so much so. But that's that's the best they come up with. I want to know how long that strategy session was.

How long did Menendez sit there with his advisors and Bengalis and and try to come up with all Right, I'm gonna tell him, I was scared

of Castro. I'm more terrified if if I was to have large chunks of gold without a good origin story, who are you more terrified to have it confiscated under some of the seizure laws that we have agents of Castro coming to America and conducting this operation, or our own US government because they pulled you over and said, well, you have a lot of money your gold on you. We think it's drug proceeds, and then they just take it immediately. What are you, as an American citizen, who do you think is

more likely to seize your money, your gold, your doubloons? Hell? Yeah, the US government. Man absolutely said the seizure laws we have are still a joke. And there's lots and lots of horror stories out there. But you know, Bob Menendez, man, this was his go to because Castro and I wish these guys would have thought of it, that are arguing to get their dollars back. All right, six twenty eight k c O Day Radio program. Hey, who wants to live to one hundred and twenty?

Don't paint, don't vinyl, go Rhino Hey, don't final go right, oh shit, whatever paints your house sucking nine Shield. Thank you. Casey is on ninety four five w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good Morty five. I saw this story yesterday and I was a little cool nervous my first

thought. So there's a doctor here by the name of Ernest Schwartz who is in the stem cell field. He's given a given an interview and really talking about the rapid advances that they're seeing in the field. So and of course he is combining what he works on along with best practices. But he has

a message. He says for people around the age of thirty, maybe as high as forty, but depending on their relative health, basically with the advances in his field, coupled with a healthy diet and exercise, he says, there's a bunch of people walking around right now that are going to live to one hundred and twenty because that's where the science is. I guess maybe Ross, you and I think have missed the boat by just a few years.

But would you want to live to one hundred and twenty? Just is annoyed as like I can only take so much of people's crap, and I don't know if I can, if I can suffer one hundred and twenty years. Well, I guess it depends, like I don't want to be sitting there in a chair doing nothing, right, you know, I don't be drooling away, right, I know where you are. Yeah, I mean if if you were to say, all right, so people that are one hundred and twenty, then are gonna be like how ninety year olds are here?

Some are quite alert and mobile, where you're just like, oh my gosh, you're in your nineties. Really, I know a couple of people like that and others not so much from one hundred and twenty. And he claims one hundred and fifty will be normal by the end of the century. This is bad news for the moonbats, who are like, oh, what we need to do is we need to kill half the half the population. Well, this ain't gonna help. Also, then how long are you gonna have

to work. Man, do you think social Security is unfeasible in its current form? What happens when they keep it at sixty five and people are living to one hundred one hundred and twenty. Let's see here. The only person officially acknowledged to have lived past one hundred and twenty thus far passed away nineteen ninety seven. She was from France, aged one hundred twenty two years and

one hundred and sixty four days. So though some people question that and say, maybe you're younger, but still they agree she lived past a one hundred and twenty. I don't know, man, that's kind of that's creepy. I suppose that that's only possible if we don't get emped do all sorts of other stupid craft to each other. So sorry, old running knows what you

gonna do. Weather change that'll do it to you. So with that in mind, I'm sitting there reading that, going, I don't know if I want to live to one hundred and twenty, and then I start clicking through all these other stories and I'm like, Nah, don't worry, these government cats will make sure that never happens. Although according to the Biden administration, they must have solved all the other problems we're dealing with, and not just

the record day on the border, which we'll get to. Because the next great undertaking, according to the official Biden or the official Potus Twitter account, is concert tickets. You've probably seen the ys. There's a couple of things that they said for some reason, I want to screw with concert tickets and credit card points for some reason. And I saw like commercials being runs starting

last week, which are the standard political commercials. Obviously it's the credit card companies who aren't giving their their rosiest version of what's you know, what's on the chopping block there? Because it does have monetary consequences, But that doesn't mean Congress should be messing with it, and let alone President Biden going on

a concert ticket a service fee jihad here. Now, don't get me wrong, for anyone who's bought a ticket by a concert ticket or a sporting a sporting event, to some extent, it's baffling what the ticket prices are versus what the actual checkout prices. And that's doing large part to near monopolies by a couple of companies, and even on the even controlling the reselling market with

fake spinoff companies. I get it. But the solution, some people would say is people stop attending the concerts and go Now, that's enough of this garbage. And I think there's been enough pushback that you have some artists who have come out and said that they're concerned about it. What that actually is translated into, I don't know has been anything significant. But this is apparently what the White House feels we need to work on right here, and this

is one of those. This is a great example of some easy idiot bait. Okay, this is idiot bait because that sounds good, right, because we've all been annoyed we bought something and then all of a sudden, there's all these other charges. Ironically, many of us have lived through it for years and years. Every time we pay a phone bill or other utility bills. You just look on there and you see all of these additions, and

so many of them are government. You buy an airline ticket, you look at all the other stuff, like the nine to eleven dedication fee, the safety fee, the so all of these extra fees, most of which are born via the government. They are the greatest addition of service fees and additional taxes of anything out there far and away, in my opinion, than even the number that ticketmaster puts on stuff. Go travel, uh travel somewhere and rent a hotel in a you know, on a tourist are to go to

one of the beach communities here in North Carolina. Go up to Asheville. Watch out for the hobos, especially the tall ones with cigarettes. You know. Go to one of those places, get yourself a hotel room for the night, and then check your statement in the morning. The amount of lodging fees that you know, local municipalities stick on to hotel bills is pretty crazy.

So these these these exist in all aspects of our lives, but the ones that are most visible to people are these concert ticket ones because they get a lot of They get a lot of discussion on forums of people complaining and now and then politicians are like, well, this is a nice easy thing. This is a nice easy thing right here. I'll go out and essentially tell them I'm gonna, you know, in a way, get money to them or solve this annoyance which they're never going to process and think through.

All right, So what happens if they go and tell them you can't add service fees. What do you think happens. Let's say the ticket is fifty dollars okay, it's a fifty dollars concert ticket to some band you want to see, and then after you buy the ticket, it's seventy two out the door, okay, and there's a ten dollars fee, five dollars fee convenience fee for doing it online, which is like, who is it more convenient for me or you? The company not having to have a person, living,

breathing person help me out. So let's say that that ticket is seventy two dollars, and then the Biden administration comes in and they say, all right, new executive order, which I'm not sure how it would work, no more service fees on tickets. Yet there's still the profit motive that the company has. They're still going to be the fees associated that the venues charge, which sometimes are included in those ticket. Well, most of the times

are including those tickets, So that's a separate issue. What do you think happens to the price of that concert ticket? You think it's a fifty dollars ticket anymore? No, not a chance. That's to say they're going to charge you seventy bucks for the ticket. That's just going to be the face price of the ticket. And then behind the scenes, however, that money

is split in the ticket pricing. They'll just they'll figure out that division, and then that'll be the promoters contract and the ticketers contract, because these are

separate. You got promoters, you got the ticketers, sometimes the same, but you know, they all have a little piece of this, and they're also going to get their money, and the buying administration is going to do nothing except drive up the fee of the tickets, and ironically, they're going to drive up probably the resell price of tickets because many times when you resell a ticket, you know, there's an ebb and flow. For these big companies, they want to get the high prices for a high demand, but

they also don't want to just throw away a bunch of tickets. So they're going to price accordingly tickets a lot of times based on face value. So they're willing to eat some of the fees because they've made money on the other tickets. As you get closer to a thing, So yep, my administration is working to crack down on these junk fees, so you know what you're paying for up front. Well, I know what I'm paying for when I go to check out, right, they don't. It doesn't say that fifty

dollars ticket, I'm gonna charge your credit card that it tells me. And I have to see that number, and I got to make that face and go, oh, these two tickets fifty bucks apiece and it's one hundred and four eight dollars. I gotta pay. And then I can go no, screw that, or I can hit the button, close my eyes and not watch the alert pop up on my phone because it's too depressing. But hey, that's what we're going to be doing, all right, we got a

little border update. We set a record. Also, you have Democrats in Texas getting on the bus thing man. Yeah, yeah, they're getting all aboard what evil Gray Gabbott and de Santists were doing. And then you've got you know, the mayor up there in New York who's saying things that immigrants rights groups are not happy about. And it's pretty interesting how everything is changed as this problem has now been expanded into all of these previously protected but welcoming

communities. So U and apparently they tried to claim a piece of us yesterday. Serious, Oh yeah, planet a flag and everything. Details coming up. Hang on one oh six one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two stations driving the best end talk. This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. So to say that Sunday was a heavy lift for US Customs and Border Protection would be an understatement. In fact, it was a

record breaking lift. According to a Border Protection Sunday, in a twenty four hour period, officials dealt with over eleven thousand migrant encounters on the Southwest border in a twenty four hour period, the single highest day in modern memory. Eagle Pass passed through on its own handled four thousand. So Eagle Pass, Texas very very busy border crossing, but so as areas. You know,

they're in California as well. But eleven thousand in one day, I'll let you do the math on an annual basis if that was to become a sustained number. In fact, I'll make it easy so you can do the math in your head this morning. Let's say it's just ten thousand a day, three hundred sixty five days. Now, all you've got to do is add some Zeros and you start to get a handle on this, and that is

why in some cases even democratic politicians are getting in on the bussing. Democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas says the city has reached a breaking point with keep in mind, the breaking point of El Paso is many duplicate times that of what New York has taken. In New York has screen poverty. So now the mayor of El Paso says, we're at our We're at our limit.

They're seeing on average, two thousand migrants per day that are taking advantage of shelters or resources offered in the city of El Paso, but thus bringing them into you know, the city limits. There. The city of El Paso has only so many resources. We cannot do this, said Oscar Lesser, the Democratic mayor. So the city of El Paso themselves has chartered buses

and is shipping migrants to New York, Chicago and Denver. Wait, now, I guess what does this talking point turn into now that you have Democrats doing it. Recent polls at sixty two percent of Americans are unhappy with the way that the administration is handling the border, and the other thirty eight percent are in a coma, I guess, or just partisan pieces of crap who

wouldn't be honest until bus loads showed up near their house. I've been getting spy reports too from people this morning on the some some bus loads who may have come to Greensboro over the weekend. Let's see here he has several emails. Here here we go so Kenn Road. He says, yes, I saw several bus loads of immigrants. But well, I guess how did you know? But he said they were being processed, Oh, near a shopping center. Is it it's a vacant shopping center or are they using it as

housing? Maybe? All right, well, I'm not gonna say where that is unless somebody has a little more definitive information. But you're not the only one to tell me that, okay, And I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, obviously, the ones that are gonna get the headlines are gonna be like New York, Chicago, San Francisco due to the hyper political nature of all of that and how nasty that fight's gotten. I mean, those are

the ones going to get the big coverage because they're screaming bloody murder. Meanwhile, in Greensboro, when people raise concerns about maybe the conversion of an old school to house primarily soon to be adult men, solo travelers, or any of this, or what we saw under cover of darkness under the Obama administration where they were shipping people to North Carolina and didn't even bother to tell the governors. Well that's McCary claimed that nobody contacted him, and I tend to

believe him on that. I think the FEDS would just be like, now we're the Feds, will do whatever we want. So yeah, yeah, it's not just the big cities, it's it's lots of places. In fact, uh, Desantists and Newsome, I guess, are going to debate on Hannity. I don't even know what that's gonna look like, but you can guarantee because Newsom wanted to Santists investigated and like arrested for the Martha's Vineyard thing and some of the bussing stuff, so they can find it out. It's

gonna be a busy week for that. In fact, we got a debate tomorrow, the second Republican debate. Donald Trump will not be in it. Ross you all ready for debate party time viewing tomorrow huh getting all that together? Getting Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not hearing you properly in my headphones, getting the palm palms? Broadcasting from a tunnel or something? Is it you think can the audience here? Do you think maybe it's being read?

You know, I want them to I want them to hear this because I don't want them to miss it. If yah know, I'm pretty sure broken up everywhere? Oh wow, Okay, well that's not good. Only seven candidates have met the criteria for the second Republican debate. This will be it'll be at the Reagan Ranch and Semi Valley or the Reagan Library. So there's that. I saw. I saw a bunch online. Uh, And I

think they're running ads on Twitter maybe. And it was that contest to go to the debate with run de Santists and I guess have a nice seat and then get to hang out with him and stuff. It's not that it's run de Santists, it's that how does that sound like a good time? Does that sound like a good time to you? Or maybe it's just because of the business we're in where I'm like, that just sounds like harder work. It's a pain that's a pain in the butt man. And what's he is?

He gonna go over his answers with you before and be like, oh, so what do your think? So? And again it's not because it's fun to stand it. It's like, I don't I I wouldn't want to spend a debate with any of these guys. Are gonna be on edge. Man. I heard you get to sit next to Bobert though. Really, how dark is the theater? It's very so dark? Is it pitch black? Oh wow? Okay, but anything could happen never, I understand it.

All right, Well maybe I'll rethink my position. All right, Good morning, everybody, and welcome to our number two here on the k c O Day radio program. So, with the Hollywood writer strike looking like it might be coming to an end, now the opportunity for the studios to announce their big projects while there's still a lot of cameras point in direction of you know all of this. They took the opportunity yesterday and one of the biggest

announced was NBC is rebooting The Office. So nothing but good news pouring out of that. I don't know, I have no idea. I'm reading this article. They don't give details of which actors would return, But let's face it, Karl's not coming back, right Like, that's not that he's really up to a bunch right now that I'm aware of, but he's probably not coming back. Maybe you get and then what's the premise of it too? You just pick up where you left off, where you just you gotta picked

a couple of characters and highlight it. And it's like, I can just think of all of the different ways in which NBC could do this. And then also in the most most woke manner, right, you just get the women from the office and now they started some other thing and they're all CEOs or something like. I don't I don't know. The very same executive producer Daniels is behind it. However, did not say which stars would be there or even what the spinoff or reboot would look like. So tis a mystery,

and I'm sure everyone's very excited about all right. So I mentioned as part of the border insanity the flag plants. So I don't know if you saw this, Well, what's that? All right? Thank you? So there's video of one of the islands in the Rio Grand and some migrants who got out to the island from the Mexico side. Even though the island is so the island is a US owned right, it's on our side of the

river, so that is on US property. So what happened, Well, a bunch of migrants got up on the island and decided that they were going to claim it. This is near Eagle Pass, Texas. On video, you see them hoisting a flag. I've seen it described as resembling a Colombian flag. I think it looks more Venezuelan, but you know, that's just me. But either way, obviously, if they're leaving either of those countries,

I don't think they're claiming it on behalf of Columbia or Venezuela. But also that doesn't work, Okay, you can't just go and grab and now the difference is we claimed an island, but it was an island that emerged. This is not an emergent island. This is a known island. It's got a name, it's on the you know, it's on topographical maps. It doesn't count. The one that we claimed for the show was the one that emerged off Point Hatteras, which we were the first to call ours.

And then you know, the Feds. They're like doubts ours, and you know, they got the power of the guns, so we didn't get our island. And then they named it what Sandy Island or something, just stupid. But now these cats put up a flag and everything, and it worked

for about ten minutes. It worked. The Nation of Venezuela Stand or Columbia Stand or whatever they were putting together lasted until apparently they have they have a quick react marine tactical squad within customs and Border protection, and they made pretty busy work of the flag. The no, you don't get to come here and claim land. And I saw people, I kid you not on Twitter talking about this. Who are these open borders? They hate everything that any

any anybody with white skin happened to do during the exploration days. And don't get me wrong, there's lots to hate man. Of course they were not. It was not just European countries that were conquesting during this time. You should you should see the ebb and flow of the African continent, which obviously does have a European colonization history, but was basically a warlord of Thawn among

various tribes and groups of people. There not to mention folks from North Africa who were conquestioning to parts of Europe the Asian conquest Japan, I mean, took over China. Come on, and you know all these things were going on, but only ever reminded of this, and so they're like, they're like, good, it's a little taste of your own medicine, America. And I saw a couple of those hot takes. Is it? Is it a Let me ask you a question, just see if there's any differences here.

Ross. Would you say that the European conquest manifest destiny in the eventual settlement of the entirety of the North American continent, much of it by the United States of America, which you know exists to this day without yielding back

land. Would you say that that was a more successful endeavor than six migrants with a quasi Venezuelan flag on a mini island which was immediately taken by a guy's in a rubber boat, which would you say is technically a taste of our own medicine and how it played out, because I feel like one was more successful than the I've looked over the facts that you've laid out, and I have decided and determine in certainty, Yes, that the American manifest destiny,

if you will, it was more of a success. Oh wow, okay, are you basing that on total land acquisition? Expect me economic revenue from said piece of land. There are several factors I see, okay, because that looked a little less successful to my eyes. But I look, I wasn't here for the American Revolution and the eventual settlement of the whole content, you know, continent. I've seen some stuff, but I got to watch these idiots with their flag yesterday, and it did not go well.

I mean, to be fair, they didn't have Andrew Jackson. They didn't. But there's also like the island's not big enough for much of a march, you know what I'm saying, Right, So if you tried to relocate people from one side of the island to the other, I was gonna say, not only does it run the risk of it but over but they'll be able to still talk to each other with a slightly raised voice. Well, I mean, that's another thing we had in our favor. Right. So

we weren't on an island. We were on a land mass, so we wouldn't tip over them being on an island, it could tip danger. But it is case one is a land mass and one is an island. Yeah, completely different, Yes it's one. Lady. She's just like, Oh, isn't it funny? How how all of you white people deal with it when it's brown people planning flags on your land? And I'm like, you remember that there were groups that did try to deal with it like that.

It just didn't work out because numbers and stuff and technology and and you know, just the reality of the day. But how you would compare those two, I don't know, man, I'm not one hundred percent sure. The irony, of course is since already in the US they didn't process those micrants who were trying to plan they literally tried to come take our country. And you're just like, welcome to America. Oh we're so dumb. Seven fourteen, Hang in your day smarter one oh six one am talking and talk five

PTI more with Casey Starts. Now, it's not my job here on the radio to help people in the commission of crimes, but sometimes things need pointed out. If you're planning a heist, and I mean one that's going to take a few hours or a crime spree, you're probably better off not having distractions or not having downtime and maximizing the amount of spree and heist time that you're using, because anytime you're actively involved in it, there's circumstances that you

can't control. For maybe there's some cops right around the corner eating lunch and they see what's you know you're up to where you break it into something, So you should probably eat first, is my advice. Get hydrated, want to be hydrated, eat first, study your schematics, and then you know, get to work. That's what the guys, the best in the business do. What the worst in the business do, is what nineteen year old

Antonio Murray was arrested for in Saint Louis. According to authorities, Murray decided he was going to go on a crime spree, and he did. Let's see here, where what all was he up to? Let me I got the whole list here. Some of it's pretty horrible, by the way, all right, So his crime spree began as he broke into a Saint Louis home, struck two victims, stole a TV, tased a third victim. Were that ross We got a taser in here raised raw wants to taste a

bunch of people. He allegedly returned to the residence, then attacked a man again, whipped a female victim with a belt. Oh my god, I can't read this, then retrieved a broomstick and violated the homeowner with it. Are you catching what I'm putting out here? Yeah? They call it a being dam with the broomstick in the in that huh that? Oh he got beat to death in a shower. Was it with the broomstick? Yeah? I thought it was. Oh wow, Yeah, so he got dahmerd I

guess the homeowner. Oh my gosh. I then let's see. Then he committed several uh, let's see rob robbery assaults, burglary, smashing windows, stealing stuff. However, while he was masked, he at one point passed a taco stand where the owner Lily of the name of the restaurant there or the stand, was in the middle of preparing a taco for another customer when Murray, who was moving from one robbery site to another, saw the taco and pulled a gun, demanding that he be given the taco, saying,

quote, the taco belongs to me now. Pointing the gun at multiple people, grabbed the taco, removed his mask to eat the taco, and that allowed several witnesses once Murray was eventually detained as he went to commit more heinous crimes to you know, photo lineup be able to identify him because he had to have the taco. Can you imagine you're on a crime spree of that

caliber. You're charged with everything under the sun, including uh, you know force Sawdomy, which he has charged with, and your downfall is you smelled a taco and you're like, I, I gotta have that ty because you didn't properly prepare you gotta eat before you go on your horrendous crime spree for no reason. Plus if that, if I was the person having that taco prepared for and you came along right as I'm about to get my taco, and now I don't get my taco, I'm gonna do everything in my power

to memorize every aspect and be a part of your downfall as revenge. Ross you asked what kind of taco it was? Right, yeah, because I can see, like you know, if I'm like if if I robbed the vault there in downtown week Forest, Right, where's the vault. Everyone knows where the vault is. So I robbed the vault. You know. It's like a big endeavor, and I'm like, you know, I'm I'm escaping. Yeah, it happened to pass. Like it depends on the brand of

the taco. Like I haven't seen Del Taco in a long time when I lived in a saw, Like I love Del Taco, Like Del Taco is a pinnacle of taco. Del Taco is the Olive Garden of Italian food. Yeah, it's like Dad could right, So yeah, I ate a lot of Del Tacos in California, obviously at late night bar clothes kind of. You know, Del Taco. I remember it being good, but I haven't had one in so long. I'm afraid that it's one of those foods. When I eat them again, I'm like, what was I thinking? No

way, Oh, it would live up to the hype. So yeah, if I'm like an escape A rubbed the vault, yeah, and I'm going I'm focused. And then but there's a Del Taco suddenly open and wake Forest, I might stop, Yeah, oh my god, it's a Del Taco and take off your mask and yeah, boom, they got you the brand. Well, I this this was independent. I mean, this is a taco cart with a woman who's got a very Hispanic last name, so I'm sure she's rolling out authentic masa and tacos. It looks like it was a

Cherizo taco, which were among my face fits. So not a Del Taco. Now a Taco John's taco, which is superior to a Del Taco. I haven't tried it. They didn't have Taco John's in Salt Lake. I'm almost sure that they did. I don't remember it because you were you were team Del Taco. Well you missed out. And some potato alays that could be that could undermine my crime spree. So anyway, also, did he

wash his hands before the taco? Considering where he was coming from? You know, perhaps there's some some hysteria issues or something there that might have to be addressed. So anyway, he's charged all the stuff. The gun, by the way, it turned out to be a baby gun. But obviously when you're jamming in people's faces, they're not always going to realize that. So he's charged with the double burglary, smashing window. He stoles some other

stuff, and he's charged with Oh listen to this. So the way it works in Missouri because to use a firearm and the commission of it, it doesn't matter the value of what he stole with the firearm. So even though he stole like a two dollars taco, it's like a super felony for this dude. Probably is he's in Saint Louis and they've got that one moon Oh no, she resigned, that's right, but then the other moon back took over the George Soros prosecutor. They kind of ran her from office. But

yeah, we're gonna eat eat ahead of the crime spring. Jake just confirmed on the phone off air that Del Taco is still elite. I didn't say it was an elite. I'm just saying that if it got into the cage match with Taco John's, it's not going to do well in my opinion. But I haven't inherent biased too, as Taco John's is a Wyoming institution which extends only as far east as Tennessee. Come on, North Carolina, we can do better with this Taco John's for everybody, or maybe a Del Taco

for Ross. Put it next to the vault, keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Yeah, man, I don't, I don't. I don't know that this marriage is long for this world. Like, there had to be some other issues going on. A Virginia man who was arrested by TSA after officers discovered a loaded gun in his harry On bag. Where was this Reagan National? So the downtown Washington Airport. According to uh TSA,

he was found to be in possession of a twenty two caliber pistol. What is they going to picture of this? Oh, it's a little derringer looking thing with the longer rounds. Yeah, I does have a hammer on it, but it's one of those sunken hammers. I guess. I don't know, but you're not supposed to have it going through TSA. According to officials, the pistol was loaded with five rounds and showed up on X ray,

so they confiscated the gun and sighted the man on stage charges. However, things then got weird as the man turned to and began blaming his wife, saying that she packs all the bags. He doesn't do it, he doesn't like to do it, and so she put the gun in there. Well, now that creates us like there's two different versions because he's blaming her, and I can't tell if he's blaming her like he thinks she's an idiot. Whether it's you know, whether she in fact was the one who put it

in there, I don't know. But he's saying he doesn't pack anything. He makes his wife do it, and she put it. What if she did it and knew she at it? Do you know what I'm saying? Like this wasn't about a whoopsie on her part putting together Because she's putting on a carry on bag for the airport. That doesn't sound like an accident, does it. That sounds like there's some underlyon stuff going on. She's like, tell me, you know, tells me he doesn't like that meal,

I'll get him. Let's take a gun in his carry on and see what happens at the airport tomorrow. Well, as you can imagine, that's you know, he's going to catch some charges. They're not sure exactly what it'll be. Does those tend to ebb and flow? But you're not gonna get away scott free. According to TSA, the advice is that when packing for a flight, pack your own bag so there are no surprises when someone gets

to our check. But I have a question, do you pack your own bag for you married folks or is there one person who is either better at it, more efficient at it, or crazily enjoys packing, because I feel like that's one of those activities where I've I don't know that there's a lot of crossover, but I'm not married, so I don't know. But even when I've traveled with people i've been dating, I wouldn't dare let him pet

pack my bag, and I wouldn't want to pack theirs either. But maybe I guess if you're married for twenty years, you're like, I know what he's gonna put in there, so I'll just pack it. Roster. You pack your own luggage. When you guys go on and you go traveling, we have the same bag, but we pack our own stuff. So you just get one big suitcase, giant suitcase. Because you know, some people

roll stuff, some people fold stuff. For when I have T shirts, rather than folding them, I'll lay them all on each other and give them a half fold and kind of put them on top. I find that that keeps them a little flatter. But everybody's got their own thing, so I don't know that I'm buying that. But also it gives me the peace of mind that I didn't forget something. Oh my god. Oh all right, yeah, so the world famous hugs from a Hugs TV on Twitch. We

all know. He just notified me that Del Taco is opening five restaurants in the Triangle five. I at the moment, I am that Randy Marsh meme where he's in front of the computer. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh my god, that's not the Randy, the naked Randy Marsh getting arrested. Wondering if it's in fact America the other one America. Man, my vault days are over the heist. Maybe they're opening them just to keep Do we know where they're opening them one next year house, but it's gonna be

ten stories. Yeah, no, sudden for you. I will take it. How is Taco John's not here in Del Taco? Who's from further away? Some would say one was more successful than the other. I mean that could be an argument. Who has more locations? Del Taco? Never heard of Taco John's. How have you never heard of Taco john John doesn't sound like a very you know, Ah, Taco John like him? Taco believe his name? I believe his name was one Okay, oh they changed it.

Okay, yes, yeah, it's like Chef Boyardi but but better but better food really good? Can I all right? I can't believe I have to do this, but I feel like there's some I feel like there's somebody's stuff in the box for del Taco now right, because he's got his whole minion army. Have you guys ever had Taco John's and how superior is it to other I haven't tried it, so I don't know him. I am open to trying it. I just never had it him. Yeah, you've

never seen down tacos. I've never seen it. What do you like best? Do you like the ground beat? I'm not like to you like I didn't even know there was a thing. I'd never heard of it. Oh no, no, no, I know, but yeah, because I thought they had them in Salt Lake. I'm almost sure they did, but maybe it was they didn't have very many. I know they have more now, But what was I gonna say? But if you like, what's your favorite kind of taco? Is it beef, you know, ground beef. Do

you like carnia soda chicken or just give me some tacos? Right? I like the ground beef, yeah, with the lettuce tomato and the sour cream. No cheddar chap yeah, no, throw some cheddar cheese on there too, sure alright, yeah, shredded not liquid like everything, like a taco with everything. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great I a great stand around. Taco del Taco is good too, So five del Tacos in the Dry Triangle anywhere else I'm gonna have to research this, but yeah, but Taco

Taco John's. Anyone who's ever had Taco John's, I think they got my back. That was some good stuff, all right, ste forty two? Ray? Oh we got we got ray yet because he'll he'll talk about tacos. No, not yet, all right, because I knew we'd be all over tacos. But I'm probably about a minute and a half early. So anyway, all right, we'll get to the bottom of the avillsee who's got

more locations? But eight eight, eight, nine, three four seven eight seventy four there's another taco placed down in Texas called was at two Pesos where they were at one time, remember the name. I thought that was kind of man. But I like good tacos. You know, there's uh, there's plenty of taco trucks out there. Here's how you here's how you get

me. If you're at one of the taco trucks and the one on Capitol at that old car dealership by where you cut back to where the city where the DT has their their lot of trucks, they have a that one's good, and then the one up somebody mentioned the one on Brentwood by the station that is that one's good too. So lots of them all right, Ray stage, Weather Channel. We're having a taco discussion. Oh nice, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So have you had del Taco? I have

not. Have you had Taco John's? I have not. Do you have any taco expertise or you just it in? I do not. I'm just phoning it in, really, I just my taco expertise is basically, We've got one place, a lacosina where we go here and that's where I have my tacos. Nothing special, nothing crazy, or when I make my own. So, oh you make some good tacos? Huh? I do? I do you know? You got to get the big flat grill and you could put like five pounds of beef on there and chicken tacos and everything.

It's it's glam stuff. One of my favorite things to make. If we're watching some football, although you know the season's been canceled so not this year. But you know the Totinos that made the little bowl ones you can buy, yeah, yeah, so ill ground up the taco beef right bill, each one with a scoop, chop, green onions, cheddar cheese over the top. Make about twenty of those bad boys a little hot sauced abed. Absolutely, yeah, man, fantastic. I like them. I like when

you do nachos too. With you just take nachos, right, you just lay them out, which is really just tacos cut up and triangle, right yeah, and you just you just take them and you just pour everything on top. You do like a nacho bar, and you just walk up to and you just start pulling stuff off with cheese and everything. That's good stuff too. We did. We do that a lot for football. We did that actually for the first week of football. We made a giant bloody marry

bar and a assemble your own taco bar. My buddy did. Yeah, she went all out, man, Yeah we did that. She got mad and then she got mad because my buddy's She's like, I think a couple of your friends are drunk, and it's like you put together a bar and you know these idiots, So what did you expect? Yeah, exactly, Yeah you do that, and yeah it's a mess, but either all right, so yeah, well we'll trash talk sports when you little closer to the

weekend. Yeah, no problems, but yeah, but for now, let's let's get some decent weather for the week and then parlay that into the weekend. So we just continue this trend. Well, I wouldn't that much on sunshine. There'll be some as we see this morning in some spots with clouds and considering them out of cloud in the forecast over the next couple of days. There's really not much rain around. I think I mentioned that yesterday.

You look at the guidance and look at one of the high resolution models, it's clouds and spotty light rain or even some drizzle around and showers and the mountains and other than that, it's gonna be tough to get in a range of try a triangle a little bit seventies, though Tomorrow being the cooler day, kind of get this north northeast breezer sort of wedged in, and even

on Thursday, clouds, load of mid seventies. Friday, we'll finally start to see a little more sun and that's going to roll us into the weekend, partly to them becoming mostly sunny, which allows the more pretty nicely into mid to upper seventies, maybe eighty degrees by the end of the weekend for some of us, So a lot of clouds, it might sound, look, smell intimidating, but not much rain the next few days, and then I think we're going to improve as we look ahead towards the upcoming weekend with

more sunshine around. All Right, thank you much, sir. We'll talk in an hour. Listen to this psychopath ross you ever eat a Jack in the box taco? Do you ever have a jack in the box talk? I definitely have none. You should definitely never do that. It's the thinnest talk you've ever seen, and it's so soggy dipped in grease that they deep pride in grease. It's awful. And then some psychopaths just said that's the

superior taco. So I don't know, man, I feel like we need to we need to swap you for a migrant who has better taco taste and you live in Uh, you live in Acapulco. Now have fun duck anyway, seven forty seven back in just a few the show. After the show is on the iHeart radio app. Search case o day for the podcast on the iHeart radio app. All right, good morning to do is seven fifty

two. Trying to figure out where these locations are going to be? Hold on, let me look at the press release here, got into a taco discussion. But you know what, I'm hungry, so I can deal with it. Yeah. It just says, uh, the Do Do Doo del Taco is tying to deal with Ram Restaurants to open five locations in the Raleigh Durham area. Although these articles are from like February of twenty twenty two, so I don't know if there's progress that's been made or what's going on,

and even where they'd be building them. Well, I think it's just due. You know, authentic Mexican cuisine takes time. You can't do that. You can't just roll the thing over to the thing and let me guess. So they train there, they train them in what Monterey mazit Lan. I think it's a Mexico city, is it? Oh? Wow? Right in the heart of it. You know, I think one thing we can you know, we got this a debate going. I I think one thing we can't agree on is that you want your beef to be beef fed. I

want American beef fed beef. I don't want vegan grass fed beef. Right, we can American beef, but we feed them Chinese gross snow. Okay, So it's a generational thing. Oh did Del Taco get bought by Jack in the bottle? Well, maybe the quality suffered if they make the Jack in the box tacos DA's completely different. Yeah, I hope they don't do that. So you want beef fed beef, that's American. Yeah. I want big cows that are fed on beef eat other smaller cows. Circle of

life. Man, Well you want to have vegan beef? Come on, ah. I think Kyle with his cherish, he just got confused. He saw soy cheris and he thought, as was said, I am am chreizo, and so he bought it. So that's a Mexican word joke because SOI means I am okay, hould you just say yo soy? But yeah,

but we get confused up here. We think it's garbage food. In addition, they claim they'll be opening not just in the Carolina's so South Carolina as well Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Well I had no idea, but now as old as that thing is, I don't know if I believe it. Anthony, what's up? Tacos? Yeah, good times. Put Anthony on hold and see what's going on with that. He had some taco Inputty wanted to provide. That's great, all right eight eight eight nine three four seven

eight seven four? Uh the phone, okay, so he is there? All right, Anthony, what's up? Yeah? I said, the heck with Dale Taco or the step Taco Johns. We need that taco truck from that that Sonoma story. Where can you find two? All the tacos, all the food truck. I don't know that they were two dollars. I don't know that they were two dollars. I just kind of I just know it was a taco, a taco truck. I don't know the one place is two fifty for tacos. That's not out of the and you know,

Missouri's probably a little cheaper. I don't know, but you get what you try. Jim Tacos. I need to try what Jim Tacos down there on six courts. Jim Tacos down our six courts as a food truck, they're really good. There are so many. Man, you drive up Kent, thanks for I appreciate it. Sir, you drive up Capitol Boulevard and there used to be like one taco truck and somehow the space between four forty and

five forty, it's like every gas station has a taco truck. And like some of the people running that don't look like they were trained in Mexico City,

you know what I'm saying. So I don't you know whether that is an authenticity because let's face it, if you go to a taco truck and there's about a seventy year old grandma looking Mexican woman and she's rolling out fresh massa I'm in a and she's got the you know, the metal press and everything, I'm going to bet that that's going to be a good taco because fresh, you know, the fresh tortillas is amazing. But yeah, other than that, now, there's so many of them that I just don't know.

Sometimes I don't know that I'll ever try all of them. All right, let's see here, So I mentioned that there is the presidential there's a Republican eight that is that is happening. Seven candidates have qualified. I guess technically eight would, but Trump doesn't win in on it. The seven candidates Ron de Santis, Ramaswamy Hailey, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, and Doug Bergham. Everybody's everybody's front runner. Doug Bergham, who,

if I guess you don't know, is the governor of New York. The only individual not qualifying that did for the previous debate is Asa Hutchinson because nobody nobody picks him in the polls, I guess. So we'll take place at the Simi Valley Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and will be the second GOP primary debate, and I'm sure that will pay very special close attention to it and report or or Russell Us grab whatever he sees on Twitter in the morning, and

we'll pretend like recovering it. Okay, because here's the deal. Normally i'd be like, who do you think want the debate? But I don't want. I can't even listen to Republican primary discussions anymore. It's just gotten. The vitriol is just so much, man, and all of these idiots out there just you know, just smearing and spamming and all of it. It's just so nasty. It's so nasty. But you know we'll cover because contractual obligations and stuff. All Right, news is next hanging. I mean,

you gotta you gotta be able to back it up. I think it's what people's point. All Right. So I'm watching this video of everybody's favorite US women's soccer player, Megan Rapido, and uh, I didn't realize this. So when she's entering for a match here this so this was She's played her last for the US women's soccer team, So I think this is some sort of promotional things she's doing. One of the Sunday leagues. I don't know, they're showing this video of her. And it's something she does when she

walks into an arena that I was unaware of. She has in her hand one of those two tubular bluetooth speakers, right, you know, if you get a little bluetooth speakers, the one that looks like a you know, like a tube and puts out pretty good sound. Although it's a very loud arena. Apparently she blasts her own entrance music or motivational music or walk on music or whatever you want to call it. And I can't figure out what

this song is. Ross if you listen to it I sent it to you, are you able to determine what the hell of her song is because the arena is very loud as well? Oh okay, all right, you just got it. I can't. I've listened to it a bunch. I can't figure out what this song is. And I was hoping somebody in the comments on a couple of these tweets would know, but they don't. But I

mean, who's walking around with entrance music everywhere they go? Can you imagine how obnoxious that individual must be. Now, don't get me wrong, entrance musics are you know, selections have an appropriate place in sports, right from the you know, from the baseball player who all have their walk on music, to WWE and you know wrastlers who have over the years honed very customized and recognizable walk on songs which for some reason have ended up in our audio

system in a big category that somebody put there. You know, of course, uh, you know the famous warm up music they do like the bull you know, before the Bulls game, you got that, you know, very recognizable track as they're introducing, and they do that at most sporting events, but they don't hear, and I feel I feel like maybe she missed that aspect, so she thought she'd her home thing. But when you're the one holding the speaker, it just looks so cringe e Plus, who'd want

to be around that person? If like one, I guess you always know where they are. But I don't want to deal with anyone. I gotta listen to him do a walk off or a walk on music prior to interacting with them. It would just get obnoxious, one because of the ego trip, but two you got to sit there and wait for the music. Right, it's a whole thing. Those are quite the glasses, and I think she's an eighties ski instructor. Is the jacket she went with? So all

right, I can't figure it out, We'll retweet it. If somebody can figure out what the hell that song is, I'd be very interested, but who who gets? Yeah, the amount, I'm just I keep going back to ego, but I'd be embarrassed, man, just be embarrassed. I feel like, if you're gonna have a walk on music, it's others should play it for you. You can't play your own walk on music, like

on a boom box, right, especially like a professional sporting event. No there, you know, if you're the baseball player this, the guys in the sound booth are running that. If you're a wrestler, the guys in the sound booth are running it. It's part of it. Like Marianna Rivera didn't show up, you know, at the mound with his own boom box playing Enter Sandman. Yeah, yeah, wild thing, didn't you know? Like Charlie Sheen didn't make his way from the dugout holding a boombox, and

you know, all of Cleveland sang. I saw it on the documentary. Have you ever considered having your own walk on music? Cross just anywhere you go in the studio, roll into a sales meeting, go talk to you know something the sales department, to even go to the kitchen to get make tea. Right. I had an intern that used to follow me around and do that to Sean Michael sexy boy. Oh really, yeah. I was like, dude, you need to stop. So that was the pick with

Shawn Michael sexy boy everywhere you went. Do we have that in the system. I don't know that I'm familiar with the thing we do. Oh wow, okay, I mustn't missed that era. So this this was, this is back when you were doing music radio. Huh it's over a decade ago. Oh okay, good. She calmed it down coming into the news section there, all right. So yeah, she's got her own. If you could tell me what the hell's she's singing or what that music is, I'm

curious, but I'm not that curious unless it's something dumb. But you know, hey, maybe it is. I am so mad. I still can't figure out where these del tacos are going. This has become my it's become my mission this morning. As horrible as that sounds, all right, you want to hear something horrible, of course you do, because you know, if you need one more thing. It's a growing online trend that has resulted

in the injury or death for a quite a few folks worldwide. Do you know what the Blue Whale Suicide Challenge is got a word challenge in there, gotta have the challenge. Do you have you heard of the blue Whale Suicide Challenge? And if you haven't, just based on the name, what do you think that is? Blue Whale Suicide Challenge? Is it like you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna kill yourself, but you're gonna do it Jonah style?

Right, It's maybe it's not. It's actually much more awful. This following discovery by police in Portugal of a thirty five year old victim. I think he's in American. I know he's a dual British American citizens in Portugal. Well, anyway, who police say, we're taking part in the online Blue Whale Suicide Challenge game. He also there was a twenty six year old man described as a British national turned himself into authorities following the incident. And here

is how it works. Here is how it works because I had to go look it up. Basically, the challenge works like this. It originated, according to authorities, in twenty fifteen. It was aimed at teenagers online and has resulted in the death of literally dozens. The way it works is you take the challenge, you're at the end of your rope, you don't care anymore. Whatever. And then but the challenge was that if you did this and this is how you chose to do the go through the process, there

could be there could be money. But maybe you're you're you're surviving family members, get I mean, this is dark saw stuff right here. And then fifty increasingly difficult and dangerous tasks, all involving self harm take place over the course of fifty days. So you might cut yourself, you may have to shoot a nail through. This is a thing. And on day fifty, players are required to kill themselves to win the challenge, which I'm not sure

how that sounds like winning. But whatever. Labeled the Blue Whale phenomenon or the Blue Whale Suicide Challenge, some people have even been prosecuted in the past in Russia, the United States, UK, and Portugal. Previously, according to police, three men and two women were taking part. It looks like the description is not great. It looks like in this case they feel that some of the people they're talking to, they were with this dude, were

helping him through one of the challenges and inadvertently stabbed him to death. So I don't know exactly what that looks like. So they were filming all of it too. Who is what is happening? Oh? It's my music? But what? I can't comment until it's over, but I need I might have to take a break down. How lot? How lot? How wrong? Is about about a minute left? What do you mean? A minute left? Every time I talk? Now, I have played music, but you talk a lot? You can't, right, I'm ready to comment.

I'm ready to comment. Yes, that's a good point. What which one? What's the good point? I've now forgotten what the hell I was talking about because I had to listen to a minute and a half of that. Well, no, I need to start over. No, you go just clarify. Is that the music she was playing too? Wow, that's another good point from you. Every single meeting, we go to meetings. So my interned play that and I was like, dude, you need to stop.

It's inappropriate. So you would, so, yes, he he would play the music and he would flash the lights on and off in the in the in the conference room. Right right now, you got at the strobe effect. And then if it's yourn, it's it's an. It's like it's annoying because then I have to walk in and like I just can't walk in. Yeah, I have to strut into the room to match the music. It's like it made me uncomfortable. But he kept doing it. Oh you

should see Ross Flexen two. It was something. It was something. I'll call it that eight seventeen. I need a shower. Hang on, thank you, j in the triadem talk in the triangle. All right, good morning, It's twenty two here on the k c O Day Radio Probe Ram. So'd you find me? Okay? So Ross is ris since Ross has a walk on song? Now because Megan Rappano has some walk on song. Oh, by the way, somebody says they know what it is. Hold on all right, Daniel, Uh so you know what the rappin a walk

on song was? What is it? Yeah? So last night I didn't really pay any attention to that video. I was scrolling and I was like, man, my colleague Colkin looks a whole lot better these days. And I just kept scrolling. And so then this morning I heard you describing it. I went back and look at it. I kept listening, it kept listening. I can only pick out like two words, but the Google food came in. Good. It's by Nipsey and Nipsey and Hustle and the song

is called Hustle and Motivate. I think Nipsey Hustle is just the one name, right, Oh, okay, away, what's it called. It's called Hustle and Motivate. Hustle and Motivate. All right, Well, look you'd want, you know, motivate. I like it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I guess I guess if you're gonna yeah, I guess if you're going to be arrogant, I guess you need to motivate at the same time. So yeah, well, I mean, look at right, did you not hear Ross's walk On? You want to talk about the height of arrogance

man flexing and strobing and stuff. But you know, if you can't beat them, join them, all right? So we went to the well here, so what it says? So I asked you to pick Casey walk On and you have Casey walk On one through three? Why is there three on the button? Bar am I supposed to you can choose? Technically, don't you already have one with the top hour music? Right? You know? But technically that's corporate, right, you know what I'm say, is it

really? I mean, they do own the rights to the show. I need something that's personal to me. I mean, so you know, we got this this big music library. So all right, well we'll see. Let's see what everyone thinks. All right, So here's Casey Badass walk on one. No, dude, the kids love the Bahama five? How old is this? They love it? Dude? They love it. I don't have any dogs with me. It's just me, man, all right, so I'm gonna go with I met a no on that currently. But you

know, let's let's listen to the field here. That's the top gunball scene. It's a classic. Dude, Do I gotta spin a volleyball while wearing a two tight board shorts? I mean, I think you can pull it off? Can I high five a guy and then smack him on his butt? Okay, well that's a low five as well. Uh, I don't know, I don't I'm kind of on a no for that as well. And love say he decided to make Thomas to us the solid as Bara song? Why is this even still? In this so soulful? You know it's

Ashford and bastardizing their song to worship a president. I can feel that in your plums, feel that. Oh yeah, you know what, I don't need a walk on songs. So let's just you know, if you do, if anything, can I have that, because let me tell you, if that's the case, it's gonna be quite the show. And I'm gonna need We're gonna have to hire some dancers as well. So and then feed him Margarita's for six hours and you know, just see what happens on the

streets of spring Breakathon. All right, eight twenty five, here are the case here day radio program. Yeah, I'm gonna vote no on who let the Dogs Out? Solid is Barack and the top gun homeo erotic volleyball scene. I mean, we could get more, but we're limited by our choices. We're we have a music directory that takes five minutes to load. Yeah, but we're only allowed to like a certain amount per show. So so you get a limit. That's not my choice. That's you get that,

and I get that. Just so we're clear. The one thing is I think they're they're both great do yeah. Okay, well, well I'll give it a think. I'll get I'll think about it. But but don't be hopeful, all right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Oh dude, all right, we'll get in. We'll get into that story here just a little bit. So there's a little video, a little video game kerfuffle over one of these professional video game teams. Some some folks noticed.

All right, let me flip over to uh, let me set this up just because we're a little tight ag about a minute fifteen on this. So we got a NASA story I gotta get into and whoopsie. So while evs are all the rage with automakers right now, a little problems emerged the Harris Ranch Supercharger, which is a huge Tesla supercharger site which sits on this resort style ranch between San Francisco and Los Angeles. They got food there,

They've made like a food haul. They've got all the charging spots and for people who are driving between San Francisco in La, it was placed to be that recharging point so that people with evs and Tesla's can make the trip with a simple recharge. In the middle, it includes the largest bank of EV chargers in the world at nine the eight spots, so yeah, it's quite

the destination. And quite popular with electric vehicle owners. Except there's a problem, little something that people just becoming aware of that I guess they didn't think about, which is now caused quite a stir. I'll tell you what it is after the news. I one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and there's talk ninety four five WPTI in the Triad than ever, Right, I mean, what are some of the pride I don't know what the prizes

are? Do you do? You know what some of the top prizes for the biggest video game teams is. It's not chump change, right if you're if you're in some of these professional leagues, Like people make a full on living professionally playing video games, don't they. That was my understanding, So you know when you're in the Championship series. I mean, obviously I'm not talking about just on Twitch. Obviously there's people to make money there, but

like doing these competitive events. I mean, one of the big ones is in the Triangle, right for how am I spacing the name of the game? What's the big Battle Royal game? Fortnite Fortnite? Yeah, uh, I'm sorry. I still play Fortnite. Like I remember reading some of the moneys that were being offered there for that tournament. You win a few of those tournaments, man, you're living large, doing okay. And they got

divisions for everyone, including the league championship series. One of the better ones who in an effort to highlight some of the various teams is, including the

women's teams. They they got together and did a series of you know, sit down interviews, you know, like where the kind of go and they talk to everybody, ask what their favorite games are and what do some of the changes mean, and h they interviewed one of the women's teams here to celebrate girls division of the league and the diversity that's in there, and uh,

you know they're they're pumped those uh, those female competitors. They're so pumped in fact that strangely enough, the Video Game League putting out the videos quickly repost of the videos and in some cases limited commenting on them or hid many of the replies. Now, why do you think that is ross? Do you think it's because people fundamentally don't want to see women in video game tournaments? In his mail? What did you just accidentally hit a button there?

Or were you trying to play your walk on music or I'm so busy in here, dude, I can't even come in, So you don't give me it's man's Oh man, Well that sounds like a clue. Are you saying because I didn't get a chance to watch it all the way through? Are you saying that some of the women are tall? Oh? No, not again, give me it's man's Oh it is man. Those are all dudes, right, maybe not all of them? How many? How many transgender crossover players are there in the video game industry? And you know,

here's what I kind of understand. Is it right to put men's divisions in women's divisions separate? I mean, you're just playing video games. You're not throwing a football, you're not dunking of basketball. Am I a horrible person for asking this? I mean, why do we separate? I don't understand why there's a separate division in sports? To me, that makes new sense? Right. Well, I remember seeing a study where they talked about how

men generally have quicker reaction times and that therefore aids them. And then they did that one event with the top women's team against not a top guys team, and it was what's the term with the bath with the red stuff. Blood bath, Yes, it was a blood bath. And then like somebody got really mad because it was around gamer Gate stuff, which I'm not going

to revisit all on here. But then they were it was bad science, even though they were just measuring reactions of people, and but feasibly should you you know, you probably shouldn't have everyone in a different division anyway. But then, of course what happens when you don't separate and that study does turn out to be accurate in some way, shape or form, and when they list the top twenty players in the country or whatever, it's all dudes,

don't know what is the the shape shift is. I don't think that's their Christian name. Is the first person being interviewed uses she her pronouns and plays for teams Serenity or something. I don't know, but yeah, there you go, little little video game news there. I haven't even looked to see if Kataku's weigh in on it, but this sounds like something right up their alley, man, right up their alley, all right? Eight eight eight,

nine, three four seven eight seventy four. So I mentioned the Harris Ranch Supercharger, which is this this resort style super charging station's got a one hundred charger, ninety eight chargers, they got food, they got little hotels

and stuff. And for people with electric vehicles, you want to make the trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco, it's right there, right there in the middle, right because it's about six hours to drive between those two cities, So you know when you get about three hour boom right in the middle.

Well, imagine how horrible all of these ev people felt when they realize that the Central California charging station, which has been such a big hit, actually is required to use a diesel generator to provide the electricity to power the power station so that people could compower their electric vehicles. And now they're outraged that the power was being produced through the use of phospiph I have a question, are where do people who have electric where do you think the power comes

from? Are you that intellectually divorced you don't stop for a moment to wonder how the power was generated. It's never crossed your mind that when power going to an electrical socket that you then plug your car into has to be there and get there. It never crossed your mind for a moment that it could be via traditional means for power generation, be at fossil fuels or some of those rivers, the river ones you don't like with the hydroelectric because the fish

ladders, they're they're stupid, they don't work. It's never crossed your mind when you pull up to that plug that's in the Mary is it Marryott or Hilton's Marryott or Hilton Who's got chargers? A lot of the They have chargers a lot of their hotels now, so if you're staying there, you can

charge, which is fine. But do you think that that hotel has a separate solar grid somewhere to power your EV or do you think it's just power that's coming in on the main power The only different it's what this is. Not only do they draw power from utilities, they also have to have this

separate source of power because of the amount of power draw there is. So they've accomplished that through the use of a diesel plant, which is essential, you know, essentially a diesel generator, but much bigger to power the whole facility. Now they're demanding changes. A little of this is about the pile

on because it's Tesla's name brand. So pyleon elon must But if you think that all those chargers out there are just running on you know, rainbow farts and you know other such magical things, I would I would, I would tell you to read a book or something. They got a bunch of other beefs on there, but that's the main one. Yeah, But they're just shocked. They're just shocked to find out that's how that happens. Crazy stuff, all right, race Agic Weather Channel, Hey man, Yeah, but

it's like, where did you so you plug into a power socket? It never crossed your mind that that power may be generated in traditional manners? I mean, which crossed my mind? Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's generally what I think. Even if I had a solar vehicle, I wouldn't be so delusional right now. The truth is, I mean, we'll get there, I mean, but that's not now sure. And there are but there

are some charging stations that strictly do run on solar power grid. It's kind of part of the feature, and you could find those if you want. But the ones that are just at a gas station, the ones that are at a hotel, even the plug in ones that sit along the city streets are like over by the police station and Raleigh. They're just hooked into the Raleigh grid folks, Right, It's just that's how that works. So anyway, that's your house too, right, Yes, yes, you're manufacturing it.

You know, you put one in the garage like people do. Yeah, that plugs into your power and your electricity. It's just all right anyway, So we get to play. You have to play the Patriots this weekend, right, we get to play the Panthers. Should be okay, I mean what about that other team, Bill? Who who are they playing? Oh, dude, Bill's gonna get destroyed Ross Dolphins. Oh yeah, no, I did not feel good about that game at all. It's gonna be

bad but a little little down. And are they playing the Dolphins? Yes, they Dolphins at one o'clock. Yeah, well, it sounds like two two of us have a win and probably one of us don't. Don't. I don't know what I saw last week. I don't know. I don't know why the game is gonna be a one o'clock in the afternoon game. Any to move that game up because it is like that should be like a game like that's again, people are gonna want to watch. I don't.

Oh, I want to watch that game for sure. Yeah, I'll have that on the secondary TV because Vikings Panthers around at the same time, and then the Cowgirls are in the afternoon. You gotta play the Patriots into England. I you know what, you know who I'm rooting for in that game. I made a decision. Here you see Elliott Stadium collapse. Oh okay or Zeke Elliott. I thought you were gonna say, but hey man, that's that's for you. So you guys have all right. So with that

in mind, yeah, let's we got a ways to go. So what are we dealing with during the week man? Yeah? And not much is really going to change the next three days mainly cloudy. There'll be some sunny

times and areas in the morning hours there'll be a little fog. Uniform Champiatures will probably stick it in a little bit seventies through Thursday, so between seventy and seventy five or highs lows close to sixty or some upper fifties around, and then Friday will start a little bit of a change with a little more sunshine and then partly to mostly sunny into the weekend, which will help us maybe get to the mid to upper seventies. So it's a pretty benign week

weatherwise. All the rain and thunderstorms down along the Gulf Coast and down in South Florida where they could see three to five inches of rain, and previously mentioned Miami, so there is some heavy rain around, but really there's not much else going on across the nation. It's up the Pacific northwest where there's rain. Tropics. I haven't touched on that yet this week. A couple

of systems out there. Philippe is gonna stay away from the gost mainland and probably eastern Bermuda at another invest area ninety one l back behind that most likely steers clear the US East coast also, but you know, still some time to go in the tropical Atlantic, and we'll see what happens over the coming weeks and next couple of months. Yeah, all right, well, I appreciate the update, sir, and chat tomorrow. Okay, yep, there you go, Race Ajack from the Weather Channel. Jeff Bellinger joins us.

Next hang on smart talk all day five w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM talk in the Triangle. All right, eight fifty three year Bloomberg Update now Jeff Bellinger, what's happening? Good morning, k see major A stock averages ticked a little higher yesterday, but that may have been one and done. Futures are lower this morning. DAL futures down one hundred seventy points at the moment. Most American households have spent any of the extra

cash they managed to stash away during the pandemic. A study by the Federal Reserve finds the richest twenty percent of households still have some of the money they saved, but the rest have less cash on hand now than they did before the pandemic began. The economists surveyed by Bloomberg News do not think the US will avoid a recession, though they think the economy will get through the rest of this year without a downturn. The thinking among most experts is that a

recession will begin sometime in twenty twenty four. In artificial intelligence, chatbot will be getting a new talent. Within the next couple of weeks. Chat gpt will be able to speak. Users will be able to choose from five voices, each with its own persona. The feature will be available to paying customers to open AIS plus service. It will produce audio of whatever text it generates and speak in the chosen voice. United Parcels Service starting to look for seasonal

workers to help the country. A company handle and expected holiday rush ups has one hundred thousandful in part time positions to fill. Dick Sporting Goods plans to hire about eighty six hundred workers for the holidays, and Casey Walmart is adding a new option for wireless phone customers. The giant retailer will offer prepaid plans with Mobile x Casey oh, okay, all right, well, thank you

much, Jeff, appreciate it. We'll talk to Barroser sounds good. Talk to you then to have a good time, all right, yep, Jeff Palinger there, Bloomberg News, all right, we're gonna rapid fire a few stories. This is mind boggling. So the thirteen lowest performing schools in Baltimore high schools which we're received over the last two years a significant cash infusion from

the federal government so that they could do better. A total are you ready for this one point six billion dollars in federal additional federal moneys in an effort to bring up test scores there. So that was partly the initial two year program. The results are in of the schools who are identified as needing help. So we took part in this thirteen Baltimore high schools ross. What percentage of the students the high school students do you feel past the State of Maryland's

math proficiency exam of these thirteen schools? So you got hundreds of students in each school. They all take the math exam for sophomore and senior years, so half of them. So still what you know, thousands and thousands of students. What percentage do you think we're deemed to be proficient in math out of these thirteen schools. I would hope that at least like fifty at least half, but probably ten mm lower than ten slower. It's lower, I mean the bars. Yea, it's lower. Five. Yeah, that's lower.

Shut up, that's just a little bit. Two, that's a little bit a little bit lower. The otel guy in reverse here one zero. Yeah, that would be zero students at the wow. Yes, according to

the state test results, zero students. Not just zero percent where it's like you rounded to it, but zero students at thirteen Baltimore high schools tested proficient in the state math exams after receiving not just regular funding, but in additional one point six billion from taxpayers over the last two years in it that was directed to bring up math and reading scores. But strangely they say that about forty percent of the money seemed to go to other stuffs. They're gonna need

more money, you know what. I was just thinking that because one point six billion just isn't enough. On top of whatever they're normal fight you got zero. You didn't even have one savant somewhere in the mix. By the way, the scoring works like this, it's out of four points for the four different sections, and you're a proficient there and you have you can pass with a two. So if you get two points, you can pass. Three points, you're doing pretty good. If you get four, obviously you're

very very good at it. But you know three, between two and three is the average among State of Maryland high schools. These thirteen schools, the high the ones that are were in a lot of trouble. We're able to get zero students. Seventy five percent of the students did get a one, and then twenty five percent got a zero, So they produced zero proficient maths. Callers even with an additional one point six billion. But no, Ross is write more money. And I didn't even get to my Gator story.

So we'll roll that into tomorrow's show. But yeah, yeah, more money, that's the answer. Absolutely bottom
